AN: Here is Chapter 5 and I would like to thank you all for the comments.
Chapter 5: How did we get here?
"What the hell happened?" Lieutenant Colonel Frank Clay asked his communication's officer. At first he thought he was dead. But he waved that off when he realized he was still in his Challenger.
"Don't know sir, but I recommend you take a look outside." His communications officer, George, stated. The Colonel looked at him for a few seconds before raising himself out of the tanks top hatch.
"WHAT THE HELL! HOW DID WE END UP IN A DESERT!" the colonel yelled as he looked at his tanks surroundings. Around him was a vast desert. He spun himself around to see the men of his platoon with him. Along with the group of M1 Abram's that had rolled past before the nuke. Which, something the Colonel had not seen the first time, 5 Humvees. "You've got to be kidding me…"
"Sir, radio's up with all troops with-in the area. It's just our platoon and the American Abram's platoon 5-5." George answered "you're the highest ranking officer in the operation of the two platoons so their awaiting orders."
The Colonel stared out at the desert around them. "How many armed troops do we have?"
"Round about 250-300 sir." George answered.
"Ok, get all tanks lined up on ours. Convoy formation, we move out in 10 to find out where the hell we are." Frank ordered, George radioed the other crews and soldiers with their orders and they complied with his orders and got into a convoy formation.
"Sir, all call-signs reporting in. we are ready to go." George stated
"Then let's get going." Frank said as he and his convoy of British and American troops began to roll through the deserts.
Abbe was not having a good day. At first the she was sent into a town in the middle of Vacuo with her team for their first mission. Then next the entire town is being swarmed with death stalkers. "Abbe, I need help here!" she turned to face her partner, Chris, as he jumped out of the way of a death stalkers stinger.
"On it." she yelled as she readied her bow back. Right then the town was secure as many of the citizens had bunkers to hide in, however Abbes team was now stuck in the middle of the town at an intersection. Surrounded by about 25 death stalkers. She fired an arrow into the death stalkers eye just it sent a pincer towards her.
Frank looked through his binoculars as the convoy stopped atop a dune. He watched as a town was attacked by scorpions. Not just scorpions, GIANT SCORPIONS! "This day just keeps getting better and better, doesn't it…" he muttered. "George, tell the convoy we're moving towards that town to provide assistance."
"Yes sir!" George saluted.
Abbe now knew she and her team were screwed. They were all back to back in the middle of the intersection. Death stalkers surrounding them. "Looks like this is it." Jane, the team's leader stated
"It's been good meeting you all." Kyle, Jane's partner, said. Abbe watched as a stinger went towards her. She waited to die.
BOOM
She watched in confusion, excitement and pain as the death stalkers stinger and subsequent tail was blow apart. "What the?"
"Hey guys… look." Chris said pointing down the end of his road. They all looked to see 10 tanks rolling down the road with other assortment of vehicles around them. "Backups arrived." They started to laugh as the death stalkers were blown to bits by the tanks shells. (thanks to Silent Soviet for the idea.)
Frank was happy, he had just saved 4 17 year olds from getting massacred by the giant scorpions. As the cleared the last one, meaning they blew it up, Frank stopped his tank next to the 4 teens and popped up out of the top hatch. "Hey, any of you kids know what part of the world we're in?"
The kids looked at each other with confusion, then one turned to face them "You're in Vacuo."
"Where's Vacuo? Do you know where the nearest US or UK embassy is?"
"What's the UK and US?" Abbe muttered to herself.
"The US and UK? Sorry, I've never heard of them before." Frank was about to rebuttal when George popped out of another hatch on top
"What planet are we on?" he asked
"Remnant…" the teens taking a step back.
"… Well shit…" George stated, turning to his CO "I think we may have teleported somewhere."
"No shit…" Frank muttered, he turned his attention back to the kids. "You kids know of anywhere nearby we can get some shelter."
"There's always Sanctuary." The girl said "It's our school. The headmaster will definitely allow you guys to stay."
"Ok then, want to hop in and lead the way?"
"Sure." Frank answered, George just face-palmed
When they arrived at the school Frank and most of the troops were confused and shocked. The building itself looked like a castle/mansion made like the great pyramids. At the front gate stood a young man with sand coloured hair and green eyes. The teens, which were called team JACK, climbed out of the hatch "Hey Headmaster, look what we found." The one called Chris said
"I can see you found a large contingent of armed troops." The headmaster said, frank popped out of the tanks hatch
"All we need is a place to hold up." Frank asked
The headmaster was quite for a few minutes "Fine, park your tanks within the school."
All the troops were either sleeping within their vehicles and tanks or within the schools ballroom. Frank looked at a TV monitor within the ballroom while it played the news. It played a report on a town in a kingdom called 'Vytal' being attacked. Then he noticed one key event. When the person jumped from the bell tower, he was wearing UK armour. then it all clicked "George, was there a group of soldiers with mortar team 6-6?"
"Yes sir." George remembered "Why?"
"I think we're not the only ones in this world…" he pointed towards the paused picture of a jumping UK soldier "I think they came with us."
"Astonishing…" George muttered
"So you believe those soldiers are your friends?" Frank and George turned to see the Headmaster standing behind them.
"Yes sir, they were a contingent of soldiers meant to meet up with my platoon." Frank stated.
"Ok then, I will arrange for you and your fellow soldiers transport to the city of Vale, the capital city of the kingdom of Vytal."
"Thank you." Frank thanked.
Tim and Danny sat at a table; on it was a pile of cards. "Green." Tim stated as he placed a card with a green 2 on it.
"Blue." Danny rebuttal by placing a blue 2 on it. "Uno Uno."
"Bastord…" Tim growled, they sat on a large cargo ship. The headmaster of the school was able to arrange them transport. The tanks and other vehicles were put under tarps due to rain.
Professor Ozpin looked at a video call with 3 other people. Each was a headmaster at each of the kingdoms training schools, and all there for the same reason. "Are you sure?" Ozpin asked
"Yes, a group of heavy armed troops came to my school after saving one of my first year teams. I gave them a place to stay and their commander told me the soldiers in the news are a part of their military. Said they were meant to meet up." Headmaster Cyan, the headmaster of Sanctuary Academy said
"Then this is worrying…" General Ironwood, headmaster of Flare Academy and general of the Atlesian military spoke up. "And are you sure their going towards Vale?"
"Yes, because I gave them a ship to get there. They should arrive just before the Vytal festival. Professor Ozpin, are you sure you will be able to accommodate all these troops?"
"Yes, I am sure." Ozpin spoke after taking a sip of coffee
"Yes but what worries me is the fact there are troops with heavy weapons, may I remind you, heading towards Vale. This may set a bad impression." Headmaster Gove, headmaster of Haven, Mistral, spoke
"We are in a time of peace, everything will be fine." Ozpin reassured to woman.
"I hope so Ozpin… I hope so…" Ironwood stated as the call closed. Ozpin sighed and looked to Professor Goodwitch next to him.
"How are the soldiers holding up?"
"They have settled in the ballroom and are currently talking or sleeping." Goodwitch reported
"Good, they all have a long road ahead of them tomorrow…"
AN: Well then... next chapters going to be the squad of soldiers going through initiation. Lets show some grim who's better.
