Earth 2245

The Aircraft flew low over the long abandon city. Many of the towers still stood, but were a shadow of their former glory. Nature had already began to take route, covering everything in a layer of green.

Austin, Texas.

"Where is this device anyway" Michal yelled over the rotor blades of the Aircraft.

"The Rooster Teeth Memorial Museum, aka their formal studio." Jacob yelled back. He had ditched the lab coat, replacing it with a bullet proof vest and a M97 handgun, holstered at the belt. He may be a scientist, but like hell he would walk into Bandit infested country unarmed.

"I'm still not sure what you've signed us up for" Lucy yelled across to him, "But it sure beats flying rings around Vancouver" As a pilot, she regularly flew this type of Aircraft. Type-5 Falcons, Tactical Personnel Gunships. After the war, the most she got to do, was route training ops. She had donned a bullet proof vest under her jacket, a M97 and (much to the amusement of Jacob) a pair of Aviator sunglasses. Her trusty dagger still held in her boot.

"I don't know why I'm coming" Michel said, he had also donned a vest, but had refused a gun. "Hopefully I'll get a good story out of it"

Below them, a group of bear like Grimm suddenly appeared in the street, as if out of nowhere.

"Err… Jacob, explain" Hanna yelled. Being the only one with actual combat training, she was acting as their defender. Her vest was chunkier and she wielded two M97's at her waist and a UMP-2152 SMG in her arms.

"We believe that as long as the portal's open, they'll phasing across" He yelled to her.

"Why can't we shut down the Portal?" Michel asked.

"Because, the Portal is acting as a focuser" Jacob answered "It keeps the Grimm from appearing across the world, only within 20 miles of it. That's, why we had to get out here so quick, if someone or something damages the portal…well…do you a Deathstalker turning up in your toilet?"

"I don't know what one of those are" He said, pushing his glasses up his nose "But my answer's still no"

The Airship looped around the building before descending into a nearby field. Hanna and Lucy went out first, weapons drawn, followed by Michal and Jacob.

"Echo-5, take the bird back, I repeat, return to base." Hanna said into the radio.

"Wait" Michal said, as the Airship took off "Why is our transport leaving?"

"This area's bandit territory, still yet to be reclaimed by the US" Hanna said, "We don't want them getting a hold of another Airship"

"But what if they attack us?" Michal asked "how do we get out?"

"Trust me," Lucy said, "if they decide to attack us, we'll be dead before you'll know what hit us" She smiled at the worried looking Reporter before following Hanna towards the large building.

The Building in question was a large former hanger that had many extensions built on it over the years. The Rooster Teeth logo had fallen from above the entrance, and lay amongst the weeds.

Lucy caught up to Hanna at the entrance, as they opened the shattered doors with weapons raised.

"Did you know, you were decedent from a famous pre-war celerity?" Lucy asked, scanning some of the displays.

"Not even the slightest, I would have thought…oh for god's sake." Hanna said approaching a nearby display. The wall was named "Former members memorial"

Lucy walked up behind her, reading the information under a picture of an elderly looking woman and a younger woman stroking a dog.

ARRYN ZACH, seen here age 75, with her daughter Emily Zach-Jones wife of Michael Jones Jr. and their dog Watson Jr... Arryn was the voice actor for Blake Belladonna on the show RWBY and Emily Grey on RVB…Despite leaving RT in the year 2014, she voiced her characters until Blake's death in Volume 13 and Grey's Death in season 18… Later she began reporting on VR games, until her death in 2076.

"They named me after the bloody dog" Hanna said, looking back to Lucy.

"What?" Lucy asked.

"My full name, Hanna Watson Zach-Jones. Very clever dad"

Nearly laughing, Lucy turned to see Michal and Jacob in the gift shop. Michal had picked up a bobble head of someone called Gus and Jacob, was looking at the figurines.

"Are we going to get going, or are we getting souvenirs for the Commander?" Lucy asked.

"Right, sorry." Jacob said, walking past the scale models of two superheroes. "We need to head towards the RWBY sector" He indicated to a map showing the museum.

"Right, it looks like we need to go through the early founder's exhibit, then the Podcast zone" Michal said, examining the map.

"Right let's go" Hanna said, taking point.

MILES LUNA, Lead Writer, Director and Voice actor for Rooster Teeth and a former CEO… Lead writer for RVB until season 23, and for RWBY after the unfortunate death of Kerry Shawcross in 2019… Voice of Jaune Arc in RWBY…Miles became CEO in 2045 of Rooster Teeth after Barbara Dunkleman stepped down…. He ran the company for another 6 years, before he retired to live with his family.

Michal stopped reading.

He turned and ran to catch up with the rest of the group.

"Here we are then" Jacob said. "The Monty Oum memorial."

It was a large room, covered in artwork, many had been taken by time. On the back wall was a large painting of the man himself, rising above a group of 4 girls, each dressed in a different colour faded by time. Red. White. Black. And Yellow.

"So where is this portal?" Michal asked.

"The door at the back." Jacob said, "Down the stairs."

They followed him, down into the basement. Here was filled with older items, props and things. An old military video jeep, crates of discounted "Gavin Bobble Heads" and a Nerf gun armoury were amongst the stuff cluttering the basement.

"This is a real Yeager Basement" Lucy said, "Full of useless crap"

"Anyway, I can see golf carts, fake weapons and old computers, but no portal" Michal said

"That's because it's the entire room" Jacob said. He stared to punch a code into a keyboard on a desk.

"Wait, how do you know so much about this anyway" Lucy asked, as a low hum began.

"I'm sorry, I've not told you the full truth" Jacob said, "I'm not coming with you, and it's up to you three to save them all, to save all of us."

"Jacob?"

"The White Fang nor the Chaos syndicate are not your enemies. Find each other and then Ozpin, tell him this. The Queen is the Last"

"Jacob what the hell are you talking about?" Hanna asked as the humming grew louder.

"This future was not going to happen. Save us all." Jacob said, pressing the enter key, then world begun to spin.

"Save us all"

The world faded to black, then to Red…

Ok, I know that was probably confusing, but answers are coming. I don't know how regularly I'll update this, but any reviews will help. Thanks for reading.
