The next day, a siren woke Eddie from his sleep. In an instant, he jumped from the bed to under it and covered his head.

"Bombers…" The thought ran through his head over and over.

He heard people running and shouting outside in the hall. But no explosions or roaring engines flew over. Every voice kept repeating the one word,

"Breach."

He got up from the floor, confused he walked to the door to see what the commotion is.

Before he touched the handle, Monty and Jerry busted through the door as if they were pushed into the door by a concussion blast.

"Hey! You OK? We panicked at the first sound of sirens. We thought an Air raid was happening." Jerry shouted.

"He was breathing very hard. Obviously both were running and it seemed that Monty was in better shape.

"I thought the exact same thing…But I hear everybody saying something about a 'Breach.' What is that?"

Monty shrugged and Jerry just gave a confused look.

Then the speakers went on. A harsh woman's voice came over the speakers,

"All students, a breach has occurred in the Vale market. 3 teams have been deployed to the area to deal with the matter. All others return to their rooms until further notice."

"Well, I guess we head back. Hey, it'll give us time to explain everything to you!" Monty grinned.

"Also, we have a new partner. She's been assigned to us."

"Wait, She? What do you mean?"

"Like he said, we'll explain everything. Let's start after you passed out."

*IN THE TEAM ROOM*

"So that's what I missed, huh?" Eddie had a disbelief look on his face. "Well, at least we're not dead…I think."

"Maybe I can explain the history of Remnant." Angie said shyly.

"Remnant? Is that the country we're in?"

Angie laughed.

"No, it's the name of the world. Our world at least."

"Off topic, what was that siren this morning?" Jerry interrupted.

"It was the Breach siren. A breach occurred in the Vale market. Didn't you hear the announcement?"

"We all did. But the siren we hear is a different siren."

"Well, I'm not sure how the Grimm got into the area but I wouldn't worry."

"Grimm?" Monty looked puzzled.

"Grimm are nothing but evil itself. They are monsters that roam all of Remnant. They have a skeletal armor that grew thicker and tougher as decades passed. It seemed humanity was about to fall until we discovered a stone born from light. Dust. This is the only known thing that can beat the Grimm. But, the Grimm was everywhere. So they built four kingdoms to protect and defend themselves. These four are called Atlas, Mistral, Vacoa, and the one we're in, Vale."

"This sounds like a fairytale. I can't believe what I'm hearing!" Eddie stared in disbelief.

"Hey come on Eddie, we just teleported to this place! We didn't even have these kind of planes they have! There weapons are different and much larger! What do you not believe!?" Monty started shouting.

"I'm just saying we might be dead and already in the next world!" Eddie pushed Monty out of his face.

Monty fell back and looked at Eddie. Silence filled the room. He was about to jump at Eddie until Jerry put his hand on his shoulder.

"No, we're supposed to be a team. Let him believe. I'm sorry Angie about all of this. We're having a hard time getting used to this place."

"I know. I came from a small village. I never would have believed that I could make it to Beacon." Angie assured.

"Beacon…I guess it's this place?" Eddie looked up from his hands.

"Yes, Beacon academy. Each kingdom has its own academy. At the academy's they train Hunters and Huntresses, special fighters against the Grimm."

"Where is the military?" Monty sat back down.

"They're in every kingdom. But, Atlas has the largest."

"Well, what do we do now? Seems our weapons are useless compared to all the others." Eddie Held up his rifle and looked at it.

"If I remember, Ruby could help you. We talked and she told me that she crafted her own weapon. Maybe she can help you." Angie smiled.

"Well, they gave us these. I've used this thing so many times since my ammunition so many times."

Jerry held up his pistol,

"I snuck it in before they locked us up."

"What happened to your weapon they gave you?"

"I dropped it back in that city. I've had this since it was a gift from my friend. Before he was slaughtered by those bastards…"

He looked down at the pistol with eyes full of tears. He read what was on the pistol,

"Together, we are strong."

"He must have been strong and brave. I'm sorry…" Angie whispered to him. Tears grew in her eyes.

"At least he's free. He doesn't have to carry the burden of war anymore…" Monty assured him. Putting his hand on his shoulder.

"I'm still here…So I can pick up what he left me. I'll finish his battle for me and him." He wiped the tears from his face.

"That's the spirit Jerry! He may not be here, but his spirit rests in your heart and mind." Eddie smiled at him.

Jerry sniffled then looked up, he smiled knowing he can finish this battle.

Monty pulled out the weapon they gave him.

"MP40…If you're right about these 'Grimm' then this thing isn't going to do jack against those things."

"Well, maybe Ruby knows of someone who can modify your weapons to standard…"

"Alright, let's go ask." Eddie got off his bed.

"Well, her team was sent to deal with the breach. It might be a while before they come back."

"So, what are we supposed to do now?" Jerry looked around.

"Anyone got cards?" Monty smiled.

*1 HOUR LATER*

The speaker came on,

"All students, the breach has been secured. You are now free to walk around. The Vale market place is temporarily off limits."

"Finally, let's go find Ruby. If she doesn't know then we'll see if the professor knows…"

They set down the cards, got up, and walked out. Jerry, who was the last one out, turned around and looked at the pistol he set down. He hesitated, then realized everything would be alright. He closed the door, locked it, and followed the others.
