Beacon Academy: Infirmary
Ruby and Yang sat with their team mates in the infirmary listening to them recount their recollections of what happened before they were incapacitated, neither Blake nor Weiss remembered much but they remembered a general description of the assailants. Yang and Ruby were listening to what they had to say before reporting back to professor Ozpin.
"After that I felt the butt of a rifle slam into me and then… I was waking up here." Weiss stated, her memory of what happened was hazy at best, the most she remembered was that she and her teammates had gone to bar to unwind after the most recent revelation by their 'friends'. They then confronted 2 men and then the next thing she remembers was a rifle butt slamming into the back of her head then waking up here. Blake having been slammed through a table remembered even less. Ruby sighed as she heard her friends give their account of what they remembered which admittedly wasn't a lot.
"So then I guess that's all we have, 2 men entered Junior's club, annihilated his staff and bar before beating us into the dirt, so who were they?"
"That is an excellent question Miss Rose"
"GAH!" Ruby cried leaping into Yang's arms ala Scooby doo, as Ozpin made his presence known behind the young huntress in training.
"Hello to you too Ruby." Ozpin said sipping from his ever present mug.
"Uhh, hi sir, what brings you here?"
"I'm here to see how you and your team are doing after the bar incident last night, so please tell me what happened." As he listened to their explanations he couldn't help but remember the image he had received from General ironwood, an image from space of a fleet of alien ships moving towards remnant.
He would need to have a word with Marcus and Saren after this

BHS: Wrath of Khar shan
Slaver captain Marak Brothis and his slaver fleet had entered the system with the newly discovered planet of remnant, he looked at the planet on the screen wondering what new slaves he will be able to plunder from this world.
"Sir the fleet is ready all you need do is give the order." Marak looked at his Asari co-captain and nodded before opening a com channel.
"This is Marak to all you scum bags out there, this will be a glorious battle, pillage raid and enslave to your hearts content, this primitive world is ours to do with as we wish, enjoy it and it's 'facilities' to its full." Roars of approval rang throughout the fleet, Marak turned to the navigator.
"All ahead full." The people of remnant were about to be violently introduced to the rest of the galaxy.

Terra- Prime ministers office
Sir Integra was looking over the report sent to her by the council by one of their undercover operatives, the operation taking place on remnant was of particular interest to her considering the implications of an unknown human world cropping up out of nowhere, she wanted to know if they were a rogue colony and if they weren't how they got there. So when she received word of a pirate fleet making its way there she took particular interest in dealing with them.
"Sir Integra, Rear admiral Burling is one the line." Stated Walter rousing her from her musings
"Patch him through" a hologram of the admiral materialized in front of her, dressed in his black and white admiral outfit the admiral was a short stocky man with a balding head and a pencil moustache, but underneath this appearance was a tactical genius that has outmaneuvered even the legendary Fleet Admiral Hackett.
"Sir Integra, I and the 6th battle group are ready to depart."
"Run me through the composition of your fleet and the assortment of ground forces you are transporting again, I want to make sure that everything is in order personally."
"Yes ma'm. My flagship is the dreadnought Hercules and I have a second dreadnought in my fleet, as well as 4 carriers, 16, destroyers, 18 cruisers and 30 frigates. My ground compliment is the 9th Mortivan shock division and the 22nd Siegfried armored division, as well as the 3rd Terran infantry division. The fleet has also been given a contingent of Blacklight soldiers from the 3rd Special Forces corps by Commander Anderson. In total the ground forces under Brigadier general Connors command will total 30,000 men and 20,000 tanks, IFVs and mechs, not including the Blacklight soldiers who will also be deployed." Integra nodded her head before a thought came to her.
"Hold the line open Admiral I need to make a quick call."
"Of course Ma'm" Integra opens a line to a certain research facility deep in the commonwealth systems, time to give project zeus a test run.

Bullhead VTOL depot
Garrus watched as Alucard hid the unconscious forms of the guard and pilot who were, while they were conscious, talking shop while having a smoke near the VTOL, before being stealthily neutralized by the two special forces soldiers. After dealing with the two unconscious forms the two quickly made their way into the VTOL.
"Do you know how to fly this?" asked Garrus concerned as Alucard.
"No, and that's what makes it fun" responded Alucard
"I have a bad feeling about this." As the VTOL lifted off it suddenly shot backwards and slammed into a building causing a few police officers stationed at the depot to rush over.
"Well here come's the police."
"Fuck the police." Replied Alucard as he slammed the throttle, causing the VTOL to rocket forward. Garrus was pressed into his seat screaming for all he was worth, while Alucard laughed his shiny metal arse off.
"You are never flying aaaggggaaainnn." Garrus cried when he realized that Alucard had angled the VTOL to crash into the forest next to the academy.
When he came too after the crash he saw a pair of piercing red eyes staring back at him.
"You okay?" Alucard asked.
"Ask me when the hangover clears."
"I'll take that as a yes." Alucard helps Garrus up and they take bearing of their surroundings, they saw a large castle in the distance to their right perched atop a large cliff, to their left they saw… a large black bear like creature, the bear roared and charged the two soldiers. Alucard dodged to the left and Garrus the right. Garrus aimed and let loose a volley of hyper velocity grains of metal, the bear turned to face him and let loose a earth quaking roar, Alucard using this opportunity activated his in built mass effect core and let loose a biotic pull which yanked the bear towards him, while the bear was reeling Alucard leaped forward and planted two feet in its face slamming it to the ground rolling of the beast and coming to a crouch. Garrus rushed in omni-blade deployed and slammed it into the bears throat silencing it forever. They nodded to each other and before looking around to make sure they were alone before making their way to the large castle.
Unaware of the camera's recording them along the way.

Beacon Academy- Ozpin's office
Professor Ozpin Headmaster of the top hunter/huntress training academy on the face of remnant was watching a duo of potentially dangerous individuals making their way to beacon through the Emerald forest. After seeing the image of the fleet he and the rest of remnant's militaries and hunters were on high alert keeping an eye out for any interesting activity, he had called the two aliens to his office to talk to them about the fleet however while he was waiting an alarm had notified him a camera had spotted something odd, he had been observing them for about 5 minutes when there was a knock on his door.
"Enter." Two figures entered the room, one was human the other… not so much.
"Ozpin how can we help" asked Marcus in a friendly tone
"What do you want" asked Saren in a cool tone
"I have two things that we may need your help with, first is this" he showed them the picture of the fleet in orbit, both looked at it with wide eyes.
"Batarian scum"
"I thought they would have learnt their lesson"
"They're arrogant pirate scum who wouldn't know a lesson even if it was literally rammed down their throats did you expect anything else."
"Fair point" Ozpin was both relived and worried, relieved that he wasn't being invaded by two galactic superpowers but worried because his world was still being invaded.
"Well now that we know who they are, do either of you recognize these two." He showed them the two figures making their way to beacon through the emerald forest. The two looked at the image and recognized the insignias strapped to the individuals uniforms.
"A Blackguard and a spectre, we have to get those two to beacon now, with them here we can explain the situation that is developing and get back up from the nearest commonwealth and council fleets, we could save your world and send a message to the slaving scum." Ozpin nodded, he brought up his scroll and sent a message to a certain team calling them to his office, after a few minutes of waiting team RWBY walked through the door.
"Hello girls, I have some information I think you girls should be clued in on." The girls nodded nervously, except Yang who grinned slyly at Marcus who studiously ignored her.
"Were these the two men you encountered last night?" showing them the two men on the vid screen the 4 girls immediately went wide eyed.
"That's them, Ozpin with your permission me and my team would gladly volunteer to place these two under arrest" declared Ruby.
"Ruby, your orders are to bring these two men here, Marcus and Saren will aid you in this task."
"Sir if we're just going to arrest these two we don't need the support of Marcus and Saren we will be fine."
"You're not arresting them" finally spoke up Marcus
"WHAT these two assaulted us and they just get away with it, surely your joking?" asked Weiss incredulously.
"No we need you to bring them here so we can call for help"
"Why do we need them to call for help." Asked Blake
"This is the reason." Said Ozpin with finality showing the girls the image of the fleet.
"What the… how are… when did...?"
"In order, one this is a Batarian slaver fleet on it's way to attack our world, two the two men I am asking you to retrieve are a council spectre and commonwealth blackguard and with their help we may be able to contact their respective leaders and get help, three the fleet came into view about 4 hours ago and will reach our planets orbit in about 1 hour more, we need those two men here as soon as possible or we probably won't live to see tomorrow."
Ozpin quietly sipping his coffee completely uncaring of the pale and incredulous girls in front of him… even when they regained their senses
"WHAT!"

(One hour later)
City of Vale
Raven Richards led a simple life, he went to work, he ate, he slept. He went about his work without much of a care in the world, the young man of 29 went to work that morning as he usually did and as he was sat at his desk going through a spreadsheet for his boss he noticed something.
"Has it gotten dark all of a sudden?"
He looked outside to see that there was something casting a very large shadow across the city of Vale getting up and making his way to the window with his colleagues he got a glimpse of one of the most terrifying sight of his life.
A large ship was hanging over Vale; it was blocky and looked exceedingly menacing. There were a few hushed whispers as people theorized what was going on, then suddenly a large crack echoed through the air shattering windows and shaking the ground as the ship fired and the shell flattened nearly 4 blocks of buildings and people screamed and ran away as the vessel unleashed a swarm of drop ships that dove to the ground like locusts come to strip the land bare.
Raven turned to run out of the building and get away from all this when he heard screams coming from the stair well. He halted as three figures in armor busted down the door. He was sweating now. They gunned down a few of his colleagues and the rest screamed and started pleading for their lives. More figures entered the room and started to help their friends round up the survivors, Raven spied them take a female into one of the closets with laughing about something. As he was led away he could hear her screams causing him to shiver with revulsion and anger at what he knew must be happening.
As he got outside he saw human and faunus corpses littering the street and buildings reduced to burning husks or rubble, turning to face the front again he turned his face directly into a rifle butt that knocked him out cold the last thought he had was.
Please… someone… helps us.
