Something I wrote up for a writing Prompt event on Redit. Non-canon to this story, but a little fun. Some Nora/Marine bonding. We're doomed. Working on the next chapter.


Rule 39A - No one is allowed to acquire ammunition from the Terrans until the professors can verify its source and use.

Rule 39B - Nora is not allowed to collaborate with the US Marine Corps on 'international weapons research' unless observed by qualified personal. The property damage is too much.

Rule 3C - Who the frick gave the marines the equivalent of tactical fire support weapons in a can? Why, just why? - Sgt Ross, Canadian Army.


Beacon Academy, Emerald Forest, Kingdom of Vale

80 AGW (After Great War)/2040 AD

"MOAB?" Nora looked curiously at the U.S. military olive green ammo canister with curiosity.

"Massive Ordnance Air Blast," Amas Ermey, a former White Fang turned U.S. Marine. "But us grunts loves to call them the Mother of All Bombs."

"Nice." A dangerous smile was etched on her face.

"This just came into Skunkworks from New Misawa. Someone got concerned that we couldn't stop the Grimm with standard munitions so they cooked these up to handle larger hordes." Amas flipped open the canister to reveal a stack of 40mm grenades. "Say hello to the M600 MOAB 40mm grenades. The most non-nuclear earth-based explosives and volatile dust equal to that of that of 8 tons of TNT. Oh damn, this is the kind."

"Oh, what kind?" Nora leaned over to take a peak.

"The kind that should be banned from the Geneva Conventions. Good thing Geneva doesn't cover Grimm." Amas picked one up, and slotted the Grenade into a M320 grenade launcher. "Say Valkyrie, what to give one a shot?"

All it took was the ginger squealing with approval.

Only a few minutes later and with Amas's M320, Nora had the most potent explosive on Beacon aimed down a 500 meter clearing in the Emerald Forest.

"Ok, finger off the trigger, steady now. That's more explosive punch than you'll use in a week Nora." Amas cautioned, with a pair of binoculars aimed down the clearing. "You see that tree stump that Blake cut down a week back?"

"Yes?"

"I don't want to see it anymore."

Nora cackled and pulled the trigger.

Airfield, Beacon Academy, at the same time.

The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, students running around for their classes, the perfect day-

KABOOM!

Suddenly as if an earthquake erupted, the entirety of the campus rocked like a boat in a deadly storm. A deafening boom gave every Faunus walking outside titinius, almost every window shattered with a clang! Shelves fell over and precious coffee spilled over a certain headmaster.

Only a minute later and all of Beacon was in chaos, with everyone affected with somekind.

Except for the occupants of a hangar building that had been reinforced for this reason. Out the side door, a single Human stuck their head out.

And he noticed the very distant mushroom cloud off in the horizon.

"Good dammit." Tapping on his radio. "Eremy, this is Ross. The fuck did you do?"

"(Comms)...Heeeyyyy Sydney. Uh, don't worry. We just…..overshot by a little bit."

"Amas Ermey." Sergeant Sydney Ross of the Canadian army sternly stated. "What. Did. You. Do."

"(Comms)...MOAB grenades, underground dust deposits, overshooting by a hundred metres…..my ears."

The only sane man amongst the Terrans sighed and pinched his nose. "Alright, uuuuggghh. Jesus, watch where your shooting. I really don't want Geneva banning our new toys."

"(Comms) Okay!- Oh, shoot! Nora! Goliath! 2 o'clock! Fire!"

And then another distant Mushroom cloud erupted in the distance and Beacon shook again, causing confused students and professors to scream in terror and confusion.

Sydney shrugged and slid the hangar door shut. Then he turned to his new compatriots: Team CFVY.

Coco was leaning against the new Terran contraption with amusement, Velvet was hiding in Yatsu's arms, and Fox was just eating a sandwich.

"Trouble?" Coco asked.

"No, just one idiotic marine and a valkyrie weapons testing. Now, how are we doing with the dual-gunned GAU-8 Goalkeeper II Defence Turrets? Targeting system updated alright?"

Coco had a grin that could scare Salem with what she was about to unleash on the Grimm.
