Chapter 11: Lifted Vale Protocol

Dexter jerked the joystick right as the Hornet flipped. Around him the other hornets were in dogfights with the enemy. He and Sam themselves had got up a nice little kill count of 12 in that one battle. "Damn it!" Dexter shouted he flew past an exploding gunship. "Things are heating up."

"I can tell!" Sam shouted as the hornets machine gun ripped into a gunship, tearing it to pieces "13!"

Mike sat in the AAVP as it made its way to land. Around it thousands of marines set their sights on the beaches of Vale. Their objective was to help defend Vale from incoming attack. His Marine Corps standard M4 Carbine sat on his lap. "Alright lady's. Time to get this show on the road. DISMOUNT!" his Sergeant shouted as the back door opened up and the squad of marines ran out. Mike joined them as the last man out. As he ran out he saw thousands of AAVP's landing on the beach. Thousands of marines running out of them and charging up the beach. Mike turned back to look at the city of Vale. He saw the skyline ablaze and in the sky's he could see a massive battle ensue. Hornets and gunships fighting it out. "Move it marines!" Mike turned to see his sergeant pointing towards the city "The civilians need our help! So move it!" Mike shook his head and shouldered his M4. He started to jog towards the city as marines around him followed. They ran upstairs that led from the beach to the main city for all of them to stop at the top of them.

All along the road were bodies. Fires raged out of control as the bodies of the dead burned. All along the road the bodies laid. From women to men, from old… to children… all massacred. "My god…" a Marine muttered. A female marine gasped and tears began to roll down her eyes as her teammate calmed her. Mike clenched his fist as he saw all of this.

"Marines, we move forward." Mike turned to see his sergeant walking to the front of the group. "Let us avenge these people and slaughter those that have killed!" he shouted he walked forward.

"I'm on you sir." Mike stated as he and the other followed with a new fire.

Rodger slammed his fist into the table as he read the reports. Thousands of innocents dead. "All dead…" he muttered as anger began to take over him. "I want all troops to show the enemy no mercy!" he screamed at the ensign next to him, who literally jumped into the air.

"Yes sir!" the ensign yelped up and quickly ran out of the room to obey the order.

"Damn…" Rodger sighed as he looked at more reports.

Keith jumped into the alley as a rocket flew towards him. He scrambled to his feet and slid onto the wall. "SHIT!" he looked to see his squad on the other side of the road hiding in an alleyway. Derik was holding Yang's arm as Uri tried to bandage her arm. Blood poured out. "SIR! YOU ALRIGHT!" Nick shouted to Keith.

"I alright lads. Just hold them off!" Keith shouted as he looked down the end of the road. He could see the white fang grunts firing at them. "Their right down the end!"

"I can see that!" Daniel yelled as he fired his L7A2 into the grunts. "There are a lot of them though!"

"Hold them…" Keith started but was cut off as a large pain went into his left arm. He looked to see a bullet wound and blood start to soak his armour. He fell to the floor with a thud.

"SIR!" Nick screamed as the squad noticed their leader fall. Nick tried to run out into the street but an explosion sent him flying back into the alleyway. "Ugh!"

"Crap! Sir's down!" Nelson yelled as he fired into the grunts.

BOOM

The squad looked down the end of the road a FV4034 Challenger rolled downwards towards the squad. Around it US Marines ran towards them. "Hell ye back-up!" Maddie shouted as she jumped into the air in happiness.

"Calm down, we still have hostile's and sirs still down." Nick shouted as he fired his pistol into the street. As the Challenger rolled past them with the marines one stopped and turned to the squad

"Hey, who's your commanding officer?" he asked. No one answered as Maddie and Nick sprinted to the other side of the road. 2 marine medics were tending to Keith.

"How's he doing?" Nick asked

"He'll be fine. We need to get him out of the war-zone." The medic reported

"We could head back to Beacon?" Maddie suggested

"Cant, the air is a hot-zone." A marine pointed to the sky. Nick looked up to see the sky's full of gunfire and explosions. "Anywhere else?"

"I don't know." Nick stated.

"Ok, we'll take him back to the beach and get him on a transport back to the fleet." The medic dictated "Your squad can come too."

"Me and Uri won't unless we get these girls out of here." Nick and Maddie turned to see Uri and Derik helping team RWBY. "We can't leave them here. They'll die." Derik said "And I won't let that happen!"

"Fine they can come too. Now hurry up and follow us." the marine stated as the Medic picked up Keith and they ran down the road. The squad of soldiers and team RWBY following.

"DAMN!" Dexter shouted as his and Sam's hornet dodged a barrage of bullets. "How many are there!"

"I don't know!" Sam shouted. "But we have racked up a 25 kill count."

"WHY ARE YOU COUNTING THEM IN A TIME LIKE THIS?!" Dexter yelled while Sam laughed

Cinder stood in a tent just outside Vale. She stared at a map of the city while Adam and Roman stood on either side. "Our forces are being slaughtered. We need to fall back. There are too many of this new force." Adam stated

"It seems we didn't anticipate an unknown 'Force' coming into the plan." Cinder muttered softly. "Retreat the men. And get us back to base. I think it's time we reworked the plan.

Fleet Admiral Rodger stood on the bridge of his ship once more. He sighed as an ensign spoke up. "Sir, enemy forces are in retreat. Multiple fronts are asking if they should pursue."

Rodger stood there for a second. "No." He stated "Tell the troops to hold up on the outskirts of the city and prepare defences encase they come back."

"Yes sir."

"And get me a line to the leaders of the city. I want to know who these people are and why they attacked."

AN: Now that Cinder and the others, along with most of Remnant, know how powerful the joint troops are. how will the world change to accommodate them. I would like to thank you all for reading this story. this Chapter itself is the ending of Arc 1. Next chapter will be the start of Arc 2 and it's going to get a whole lot more interesting. If you would like to see a preview of Chapter 12, Arc 2, please read on under this. (It will have no spoilers to the next chapter.)

Arc 2 preview

He awoke to a horrible pain in his left thigh. his breathing was heavy. Light shone through the window and onto the metal floor that he laid on. "Tame!" he turned to his left to see someone crouching next to him. his vision was blurry but he could clearly make someone out. this person was in armour. "I got you buddy." The person said as he picked him up, swinging his arm over his shoulders. the person then began to carry him to the end of the hall. a large wall of light awaited them at the end. "Oh how the Warrant Officer is going to love that you made it..." the person started. he himself stared at the person who was carrying him. then he noticed something. the person had long flowing golden hair. the persons voice was soft and tender. he realized it was a woman. "Come on. you can do it!" she muttered as she carried him through into the light. his eyes stung as the light hurt them. after a few seconds it stopped and he could see again. he looked out and muttered one sentence.

"Where the hell are we now!"
