The Invasion Begins

Somewhere in Vale

I was getting back from work as a factory worker. I checked my watch, it read 9.14 P.M. I lived in the apartments near the docks, nothing too fancy, as I just earn enough to live by. As I turned a corner, I started to hear faint noises in the distance… it sounded like… marching? I paid it no heed and continued walking. The closer I get to my apartment, the louder the sound is. When I reached the entrance to the apartment block, my curiosity got the better of me and I went to investigate the source of the noise. After walking around, I realized the noise was coming from the docks. After turning a corner, the sounds of footsteps were now very loud, ringing my ears a little.

After turning yet another corner, I saw what I thought was a tsunami. But it was actually a humungous horde of machines, all marching in unison, footsteps deafening. One of them saw me and turned its body towards me, a gun in its hands. I turned around and bolted, running through the small alleyway I came from. I saw a blue dot on the wall beside me for a second, before disappearing and feel heat on my neck. I turned around, and everything went black.

Team RWBY's dorm room

"Breaking news. Just now, at 9.25 P.M, the VPD was dispatched to the docks following a call from a distressed person, reporting about a horde of unknown origins killing everyone on sight."

"Is it a Grimm attack?" Ruby asked while she stared intently at the nightly news report. Weiss glanced towards her leader and sighed.

"Grimm don't usually attack targets near large bodies of water, you-" Yang cut Weiss off by putting her hand over her mouth and motioning over to the screen.

"The person stated that he started hearing the sounds of metal footsteps around 9.10 P.M, and the gunshots around 9.20 P.M. Currently, our reporter Lila Williams is arriving at the docks." The screen changed as a woman in her late 30's is standing in front of the camera, police officers rushing around behind her. "Thank you Lisa, as seen behind me, the VPD had just arrived and are preparing to conduct-BANG" The poor reporter's head just turned into red mist as her lifeless body collapsed to the floor, landing with a 'thud'. Screams are heard and the police all rushed to cover, along with the cameraman.

"My god…!" Weiss gasped and covered her mouth, as with Ruby. The camera on screen changes to that of the policemen taking cover behind their cruisers and firing shots at an unknown enemy. A policeman is seen on the ground, bleeding as his comrade tried to stop him from excessive blood loss. The cameraman then turned, showing the enemies that they were shooting at.

The enemy had blue-grey metallic armor, and their eyes are a bright blue. The metal men constantly opened fire on the policemen and all nearby civilians that were unlucky enough to be on the scene. They were shot, burnt, or blown up by the advancing hundred-strong horde which is shrugging off the policemen's low grade dust rounds like they were nothing. Soon, a police cruiser was blown up and the law enforcers taking cover behind it was disintegrated by the fiery explosion. The policemen are heard swearing as they attempted to fend the horde off, but are killed in the process. The camera shows one last shot of an enemy raising its rifle at the cameraman, and opening fire. A scream of agony is heard as the camera is tainted crimson red by the blood of the news cameraman, before turning to static.

"…W-w-we got a new r-report, the V-VPD's Special Forces T-Team is currently being dispatched to deal with the t-threat." Lisa said, clearly disturbed and shocked by the death of her colleague evident by her shaky voice and sweating palms.

"What was that?!" Yang said, shocking everyone from silence. Watching a death, a brutal one, was extremely disturbing.

"I don't know, but we r-really should be careful." Said Ruby, stammering a bit.

BOOM!

A loud bang sounded and shook the entire building, making Ruby fall out of her bunk bed and fell on to the ground below. "What was that?" Blake said as she looked around the room, ears twitching constantly. Another explosion shook the building, this time closer. After a few seconds of silence, the faint sound of footsteps is heard coming from the ocean port.

"Let's go, we need to find out what's happening!" Ruby stated, her tone serious, which was pretty funny considering she has a high pitched voice. Team RWBY departed from their room, weapons all ready. When they reached the avenue to the entrance of the school, they stopped.

"What the hell? What is that noise?" Yang asked no one as she looked around. The sound continued repeating itself. Soon, 20 figures came up from the cliff face, feet covered in flames. The unknown figures revealed themselves to be of the same things that attacked the policemen just now at the docks. These figures wore helmets, and are carrying rocket launchers in their hands.

"Doesn't that look like that Team R.E.D. g-" Weiss didn't have time to finish as she was pushed aside by her blond friend, narrowly avoiding the incoming rocket from above, exploding upon impact with the surface of the ground. As Ruby looked around, more of the same figures appeared, all the same as the others. Upon landing, they fired rockets at the girls, who drew their weapons and began to dodge the projectiles while destroying a few of their assailants. Ruby fired high-caliber rounds at 7 robots, before transforming Crescent Rose into scythe mode and slicing a robot's head off, making sparks dance. Weiss used her glyphs and propelled herself towards a robot, impaling it and using fire dust to finish it off. Blake transformed her Gambol Shroud into pistol mode and shot down 3 robots, before using her semblance to escape an incoming rocket and slicing another robot in half. Yang was punching robots around her in the head, her sheer strength making heads fly and roll. She even caught an incoming rocket and propelled it back to the sender, destroying another robot.

After dealing with most of the robots, Team JNPR rushed out and helped Team RWBY in destroying the unknown machines. Jaune narrowly dodged a rocket and decapitated a robot while Pyrrha used her semblance to redirect all rockets towards their senders, blowing up several more. Ren was running and gunning while his supposed girlfriend smashed her Magnhild, which a lot of people can't even bring themselves to pronounce, into several robots, shattering or downright splitting them in half. After a second of silence, a loud, slow and heavy footstep is heard. The ground shook whenever the footstep sounded. When the 2 teams discovered the source of the earth-shaking sound, their eyes opened wide.

It was a giant robot, easily standing over 7 meters high. The 'eye' of the beast glowed a bright blue, illuminating the surrounding area. The right hand of it was carrying a rocket launcher the same model of the robots that appeared before him, but enlarged by a few times.

"Aw man, RUN!" Jaune said as he bolted, his team following behind. Team RWBY decided to continue firing at the giant, but the projectiles did nothing against it. Weiss was knocked off balance by the shockwave of a nearby explosion caused by the large robot fell to the ground. The robot looked down and let out a metallic laugh, before raising its foot, intending to crush the girl.

As Weiss closed her eyes, preparing for the last moments of her life, a loud sound was heard, and a red streak of light penetrated the robot's head, sending it flying. The foot of the robot fell onto the ground right beside the lying Weiss, missing her head by a few inches.

"Take that, yer motherfucking bloody Wanka!" A familiar voice sounded and a laugh following it. When the heiress looked up, she saw Team R.E.D. rushing towards the 2 teams, weapons drawn and ready for combat, with Sniper staying in the back and loading another bullet into the rifle. When Team RWBY regained their bearings, a few war cries were heard coming from the cliff. Turning towards it, they saw around 30 robots, appearance similar to the Demoman charging towards them, blades glowing blue in their hands. Ruby sidestepped one and sliced it as it passed by her, and decapitating another. Weiss blocked a sword blow with her Myrtenaster and impaling the wielder's blue eye. Yang, being a close combat specialist, easily obliterated the incoming enemies while Blake used her semblance and speed to dart between enemies, making them hit each other in an attempt to hit her. Soon, there were none left to destroy.

"Guess we did a good job, eh?" Yang said with her hands on her hips.

"Yea si-"

Yang wished she had saw what's behind her sister, react in time, warn her about it, but it was too late now.

Her sister was sliced in half.

"Medic! Get…her…!"

"Wha…go!..." Was all Ruby managed to hear before her vision faded and the excruciating pain gone.

Beacon Academy

Yang was sitting quietly in the room as the Medic performed surgeries on her. The blonde's face is very dark as she remembered what the medic said a few hours prior.

"She's dead."

Right now, the 2 remaining members of Team RWBY are sitting outside of the surgery room, eagerly waiting for the results of the so far-5 hour long surgery.

Yang saw the Medic inject a sickly purple-pink liquid into the brain of Ruby, whose upper body and lower body had been sewn together using surgical strings by the Medic. Yang's eyes lighted up with hope as she expected the heart of her sister start to beat as displayed on the heart rate monitor, but her heart instantly sank as the device showed no signs of her heart beating.

"Yang, I need you to get out of zis room, now." The Medic commanded the blonde girl. "If you want your sister to live, I suggest you leave, now." Yang reluctantly left the room, glancing at Ruby's body before exiting the surgical room.

"Alright…" The Medic muttered as he took a large sized-heart from the fridge beside him, and continued to replace Ruby's original heart with the one he held right now.

"Zis should vork!" He walked up to his Medigun, which was currently powered off, and aimed it at Ruby's body. He flicked a switch near the handle, and pushed the handle down. A red stream connected to Ruby's body, electricity crackling in it. Ruby's body started to jerk around, before the opened hole in her chest started to close by itself, removing any trace of the surgical opening there. The lower and upper body then started to reconnect back to each other, blood starting to flow back. Ruby suddenly jerked up, breathing rasped and hastily. She was not used to breathing after 6 hours without it. The Medic motioned her to lie down before disappearing into a room and grabbing a medical gown, which she donned when the Medic left the room to tell her team the news.

"RUBY!" Yang screamed as she flung the door open, eyes teary and rushed towards her presumed-dead sister and gave her a huge hug.

"My…Lungs!..." Ruby managed to say a few words before Yang released her, letting air flow back into her lungs. The Medic grinned at the sight.

"Zis is a new record! 6 hours!" The Medic proclaimed proudly as he flung his arms into the air. The teary-eyed Yang turned towards the German and mouthed 'thank you'. The Medic nodded and looked at Ruby's teammates. Weiss was a bit disgusted by the blood, but there was a tear in the corner of her eye. Blake just smiled broadly.

"Wait… I-If I'm not wearing anything before you gave me the medical gown…" Ruby said while slowly turning towards the doctor, who laughed nervously. "I had to constrain myself not to look." He said while shrugging. "Besides, I've got a patient to save; I don't pay heed to that!" Yang, eyes still red, slowly put her fist down, satisfied with the doctor's answer, besides, she can't do that to the person that just saved her beloved sister's life.

"Right now, your lower body needs some time before it can be fully and comfortably used. Give it an hour, and you'll be fine." The doctor said while waving his hand. "However, combat is out of the question for at least 3 days." Ruby nodded.

"Medic… Thank you…" Ruby said while nodding, which the doctor just chuckled at. He continued to walk out of the room and before exiting, turned around, facing the group.

"Ruby, I actually did steal a glance. You've still got room to grow!" The Medic immediately ran as fast as his legs allowed, with Yang chasing him, Ember Celica deployed, while Ruby just shrieked and covered her chest area with her hands. Blake suppressed a laugh and Weiss looked shocked.

Ozpin's Office

"What is the meaning of this?!"

"Calm down, James. No need to be shouting." The general glared at the headmaster, before sighing. "Oz, the civilian casualties reached 10,000 this hour."

"I know." The headmaster drank his coffee, nodding. "I've already dispatched 3 battalions of Atlesian Knights to combat the threat of the… horde." The general said while rubbing the bridge of his nose

"Ozpin we do not know what they are, where they came from, or who's responsible. How could you be so calm?!" The general nearly shouted as he paced around the office.

"We must-"

BOOM

A distant explosion was heard, and a bright yellow light illuminated the room. Ironwood looked out of the window, and his mouth loosened. Ozpin followed his gaze and too, held his mouth in shock.

In the distance, a large explosion can be seen happening in Vale, slowly rising up into the air. The surrounding areas are on fire and the sky is illuminated a yellow color. On Ozpin's monitor, the news reported an explosion in downtown Vale, and that the robot horde is suicide bombing key buildings, such as hospitals and police stations.

"…This is insane…" James sounded dazed and confused. Ozpin turned around, and stood up. "Gather all the Huntsmen and order them to fight back. Evacuate the city!" Ozpin pressed the send button on screen, sending the voice recording to the city council. Behind him, more explosions appeared, smoke billowing into the sky.

A/N: Writer's block is a huge bitch. Sorry for not uploading yesterday, some relatives came over and went shopping with them for the whole day. Uploads might start having a 1 day gap in between, due to school work being an even larger bitch. Yay! Still though, enjoy this little alternate version of a scene above!

Surgery Room

The Medic put his surgical knife down on the table, which had been stained a blood red. He walked over to the Medigun, affixed to a stand, and flicked a switch. He then pressed the handle, letting a stream of red healing liquid connect with Ruby's body. After the wounds on her closed and her upper and lower body reconnected, Ruby woke up with a start, breathing heavily raspy. She looked down, and noticed that she isn't wearing any clothes. Upon noticing that, she let out a high-pitched scream.

Outside of the surgery room

Yang, Blake and Weiss heard the scream and stood up quickly. Yang was thinking about what happened to her sister, and if the Medic did anything bad to her, she will kill him. She kicked the door down, and saw that Ruby was curled up in her bed, sitting upright with the blood-covered blanket over her body. She was blushing like crazy, body shivering. Next to her on the ground, the Medic was lying on the floor, his right cheek bright red, with a shape of a palm imprinted on his cheek.

"At least your blood levels increased rapidly…" Medic managed to say before being kicked by Yang, who apologizes after realizing she was kicking the person that saved her sister's life.

And that's that! Zbogom!
