Alright everyone, sorry its been a bit since I updated this, but its been a busy week. Training is picking up again for the field, as well as preparing for EIB, for those of you who are 11B or 11C vets, you know how stupid it gets with EIB. On top of that, COD modern warfare was just released, so been playing that a lot.

Anyways, I've been doing good. Still going to the gym. My family was visiting last weekend. And come November, I'll be paying off my first student loan! So very excited about that.

After that, just one more. But I can finally save more money for a new tattoo, and all my other future plans. I'm fucking pumped.

Jem didn't know what to think anymore. He was not drinking heavily, but he was a few drinks in before he went back outside. This was one weird dream, and by that he meant it felt like it was real. It was going slow, there wasn't anything weird happening anymore. And unlike in most of his dreams, when h threw a punch or in this case a fake punch, it didn't slow down when he did it. Did anyone else have that problem? When you got into a fight in a dream, but for some reason whenever you threw a punch it slowed down to the point that it wouldn't hurt whoever you were fighting?

But he had to be dreaming! There was no other explanation, otherwise his parents and Grandmother would have run outside as soon as they heard the crashing sound of his motorhome being destroyed! But they stayed asleep! That was not possible!

"Jesus Christ, my life feels like an episode of Rick and Morty right now." He said as he took another swig of beer.

He walked back to his motorhome.

"Hey y'all hows it going?" Only to see that Pyrrha was crying.

"W-What?" She said as she saw the scene of her being turned to ash.

"Oh….bad time…." He went to his bed in the trailer.

"Excuse me?!" Winter was mad at the man for seeming so relaxed about it.

"What?"

"She just saw her own death and you're acting as if its no big deal." Winter said as Jem was confused.

"This is just a dream, and even if It was real, now that she's seen it, she can prevent it." Jem said as simple as that.

"Do you really think its that simple?!" Winter yelled at him.

"Yeah, I mean, now she knows what not to do, you guys could stop everything from happening, I mean shit you even saw the whole detailed plan, you'll be fine. I'm going to bed."

Now at this point, Winter would have lectured him for being insensitive, but then she remembered something, according to the web series they had just been watching, and the fact this man didn't look like anything from Remnant, especially with the symbols he had tattooed on him, he obviously wasn't from Remnant, and since it seemed he was convinced they were from the show they were watching. Winter had one conclusion.

That dust had made a portal and sent them somewhere complelely different.

AND SHE HAD NO IDEA HOW!

The man fell asleep almost instantly as soon as he hit the pillow. Pyrrha had calmed down a little bit, but she was being comforted by Jaune, who…well he had seen the kiss, and now he realized there was something he had been missing out on. And well, it was going to be difficult to have this conversation now, especially since he had just seen his partner die, even if it was just on a tv screen.

"Where are we?" Ruby asked as this was all so confusing.

"I don't know….but I'm scared…." Weiss admitted as this was completely different.

"What are we going to do?! How do we get back?" Yang was not doing so well, she had seen herself lose an arm.

Blake couldn't believe she ran away from them all at the end. But then again, she completley understood why, if what she saw was True, and Adam hurt Yang to get to her, then it was obvious that she ran away because she thought she was protecting her friends. But she could see the hurt in her teammates face. And honestly this was a lot of information to take in.

"Not to mention Ozpin is hiding some ancient secret beneath Beacon." Jaune said as this whole situation stunk.

"Guys….what do we do now? We have the power to change the future right?!" Nora said as she was getting anxious because of the impending doom upon them.

"We would, but we don't know how we got here or how we get back home." Ren mentioned as Pyrrha spoke up.

"W-What about the dust? Can't we just use it again?" She asked in a broken tone.

"No, we don't know if it would take us back, for all we know it could send us into another crazy world, could send us to some alternate space dimension, could send us to some chibi dimension, hell for all we know it could send us to a desert planet. We don't know. And even if we did, the dust bullets didn't land with us, hell they may still be in Remnant for all we know." Ruby mentioned the two big issues they encountered.

"Well what the hell are we going to do?!" Yang yelled her eyes turning red.

"There's nothing we can do….except wait for help." Winter said as everyone turned to her.

"How? Nobody even knows where we are?" Ruby asked as Winter shuffled.

"Except they do, They know we were out on a mission beforehand, so it would look suspicious if we were to disappear without a trace, they'll eventually come across our campsite and try to put the pieces together." Winter said as a matter of fact.

"Except they still wouldn't know what happened to us." Ruby pointed out.

"Wrong again, I had a surveillance drone circling aroud the camp giving us not only a view inside the camp, but in a 360 degree surveillance of the area." At this everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Except for Ruby.

"Wait, you had a drone surveying the camp the whole time?"

"Yeah so?"

"Then why the hell were we pulling security shifts?!" Ruby was pissed because now it felt like a waste of time.

"Theres room for error in machines." Winter defended herself.

"I was tired! For all you know I could have fallen asleep on watch!" Ruby was not letting this go.

"Hehe, m249 sleep is best sleep." Jem said from his sleep.

"What did he just say?" Nora asked confused.

"Ignore him, he's irrelevant to the situation."

"And what is our situation?"

"How about stranded on an alien planet with no way home and the only person we've met so far is some guy whose pissed that we destroyed his home?" Yang said in a sarcastic tone of voice.

"You're not helping." Winter stated matter of fact.

"Oh really?! How am I supposed to be helpful right now?! After all that we just saw?!" Yang was not a happy camper.

"Look! We have to remain calm and think this through." Winter said as she took a deep breath.

"We all can't deny that we're in a new world, a world where our lives are some other person's form of entertainment, and unforturnately we have no way back home yet, however, there is a silver lining to this, we know exactly what the enemy will do and how to prevent it, we'll be able to get home in time to stop it, the vytal tournament is still weeks away, I imagine we'll be out of here before then, and we can return to our lives." Winter said as Pyrrha thought that sounded nice.

A new chance to be with Jaune and not have to worry about her death? That sounded like a good thing to her. Everyone thought it over, things could be different now. While they weren't scared before because they were ignorant of the future, now they had knowledge of it that was frightening, and they could change it for the better. So things were going to be alright. But there was still one pressing issue currently.

"What do we do about him?" Nora asked as they pointed to the sleeping guy.

"….Well…." Winter wasn't sure.

He thought it was a dream, and they were going to have a difficult time trying to explain this. Plus the fact that the only reason he didn't shoot them was because he assumed that his motorhome being destroyed was a dream.

"Well….Ruby, you're good with machines right?" Yang asked.

"Uh huh."

"We better fix his motorhome before he wakes up, or else he's going to be pissed."

"That will take all night!" Ruby said.

"We got all night!"

"We don't have the materials!"

"I can….acquire some." Winter was certain she could find some sort of replacement materials from a shop.

Granted, acquiring them without anybody knowing was against her moral code.

"Look, all we need to do is repair the structure! I checked the engine, all it really needs is a few parts to be pushed back into place and maybe a shit ton of duct tape! Our big concern is reshaping the metal and repairing the windows, that shouldn't be too hard!" Yang said as Ruby groaned.

"This is gonna suck."

"Hey, at least all of his gizmos and shit in here is still intact! Come on lets get to work!"

"This is gonna suck!"

The Next Morning

Jem yawned as his alarm went off.

"Carry we! Who die in battle! Over land and sea! Across the rainbow bridge! To Valhalla! Odin's waiting for me!" Manowar played as he tried to pick songs that would get him pumped up for a workout in the morning.

That way he would be able to get up no problem. It was a habit he developed in the army, whenever he woke up for PT in the morning, he was always geared up ready to go because of his music selection. He sat up in his bed, he looked up and saw that his motorhome was completely fine, nothing was broken, and everything seemed okay. In fact, everything looked brand new, which was odd because he knew he used older parts and shit in order to save money on everything. Getting out of bed, he prepared his morning routine. He took a quick cold shower to help jolt him awake while the pot of coffee he had put on was brewing. He was in the shower for five minutes, and then got out and brushed his teeth, and shaved only his neck, since he was growing his beard out now, he preferred to keep the neck area shaved in order to have a cleaner look and to help highlight his jawline.

After he finished grooming, he applied his deodarant and cologne and picked out his morning workout clothes. Since he wasn't in the army anymore, he was happy he could pick his own clothes for his morning PT. So he went with a simple tank top with the image of Perseus with the head of medusa on it, as well as a zip up hoddie with Blood and Iron on the back, paying homage to Bathory. He threw on a pair of sweat pants and his shoes and downed a cup of coffee before stretching for his morning run.

He poured himself another cup of coffee and walked outside and let the nice cool autumn air hit him. He breathed in the smell of good coffee, and the smell of dying leaves and reminded himself that this was his favorite time of year.

He looked over at the sunrise and smiled as he realized that last night was just a crazy dream, and he could move on and enjoy his life.

"Well, time to get this run done, before heading in to the gym for work." Jem had a simple routine.

In the mornings he did cardio, and in the afternoon after work, he lifted weights. Even though he hated running while he was in, it was surprisingly a lot more fun when you didn't want to kill yourself each morning before PT.

He did some final strecthes and started his run.

"Wait!" He had his ear buds in, so he didn't see hear the voice calling out to him.

If he had looked back, he would have seen the cosplayers from before exhausted and huddled together for warmth because they had worked on his motorhome all night in hopes that he wouldn't freak out when he saw them again.

But now he had just run off without even looking at them.

"Don't worry, he'll be back." Winter narrowed her eyes.

This man…..something about him seemed familiar. Not in the, 'they had met before' way. But in the way he moved, his movements were confident, he stood up straight, and his build was athletic, and to make it even more obvious, he was up early in the morning to go for a run. Even the way he was holding the shotgun the other day, his trigger discipline was great, and he had his head on a swivel in case anyone else appeared.

Was the man military?

"So now what do we do?"

"I say we make breakfast!" Yang said as her stomach growled.

Everyone turned to see Team JNPR was already cooking in the motorhome.

"Jaune! You can't just start raiding a man's kitchen!" Ruby said as they looked at their sister team.

"We just stayed up all night in order to fix this guys motorhome…we earned a nice breakfast." Jaune said as they looked in the fridge.

"Well…..okay point taken."

"Very well." Winter planned to supervise this.

"I'll make sure we eat a proper breakfast." She was certain she could find a proper nutritious meal.

"uuuhhhh." Jaune was looking in the fridge as Winter walked over.

Only for her eyes to go wide at all the numerous egg cartons, and dozens of pounds of bacon.

"Oh dear Oum…" She said as that was a lot of bacon.

This was the recipe for a heart attack.

"Okay, no bacon…" She said as she looked around the fridge more.

Milk wasn't a bad choice, but the pork sausage was a no, the eggs were good, but the man didn't have any vegetables in here, he didn't have any fruits. It was a lot of meat, a lot of eggs, and a lot of cheese.

"Screw it! I'm hungry!" Nora said as she took a few lbs of bacon out of the fridge.

"Now hold on! You can't seriously expect to eat all of that!" Winter said trying to be health conscious.

"Uhm, look I don't mean to be rude. But one bad meal isn't going to kill us! And we're starving!" Nora said as Winter realized this girl was not in the mood to be lectured about proper diet.

With Jem

Jem was currently in his walk as he finished his run. He did about three miles at a nice slow pace. After all, he no longer needed to run a 13 minute two mile, so he was having a blast just running a light pace and enjoying nature as he passed by it. It was perfect. And now, he was about to complete his morning with his favorite part. Breakfast!

Usually his breakfast consisted of three whole eggs, with six egg whites in total, four slices of bacon, a banana, and some coffee. It was a simple breakfast, but it worked for him. It was a good thing he worked out so much, or he was certain his choletosterol would be terrible.

But something was off.

He was walking to his motorhome, and he smelled a familiar scent. He smelled bacon….and eggs, and….was that pancakes?

He looked at the roof of his motorhome where the small opening was for a skylight. And he saw smoke coming out of it, along with that heavenly smell.

"Huh, did mom decide to cook me breakfast while I was out on my run?" He asked himself as he walked up to the door of his motorhome.

He heard voices talking.

He figured it had to be his parents.

"Morning y'all, hows it go-" And Jem froze as he saw something in front of him.

He saw the cosplayers from the night before! But that was impossible! He wasn't asleep anymore! He was awake! This wasn't supposed to be happening! Thinking his mind was playing tricks on him he pinched himself, only to feel pain. His eyes went even wider as he realized he wasn't dreaming, because you don't feel pain in a dream.

"Good morning Mister!" The one dressed as Ruby Rose said as Jem looked over everyone.

"W-W-" He was so confused.

"Good morning Sir, I believe we have a lot to talk about." Winter said as she tried to be diplomatic.

Jem froze.

He waited.

He waited.

He waited.

"MA! PA! GET OUR GUNS!"
