Hello everyone!
Sorry I have not uploaded in a while, I have just not had the energy nor the drive to continue any of my stories, but I hope with this chapter I might be able to respark my drive and begin uploading more in the coming days. Here's hoping. So without further ado, here it is.
Story idea: RWBY with some elements from other series set in outer space and in the future.
The soft, gentle trails of bright, baby blue plasma leaked off of the large blue giant that sat silently in the midst of the dead solar system.
Across the vast seas of darkness that lay between the large celestial bodies that call this solar system home, a massive distortion erupted. Space seemed to fold in on itself, vague shapes and colors flying out of a small dot of light that quickly grew massive in size. The dot grew larger and larger until it was 25 kilometers in diameter, a myriad of colors and shapes flowing across the almost fluid surface of the distortion.
After a few seconds, a massive circular object began to come out of the distortion. The hull of the object was dark grey in color with many large dark blue stripes going around the outer edge of it's hull. There are four large rectangular sections attached on the outer side of the hull that remain stationary while the cylindrical drum portion of the vessel rotates in a clockwise manner. At that back of the object are four circular engine drives aglow with giant streams of light purple energy crackling within the engine nozzles.(*1)
Inside the vessel, dozens of men and women of all ages and races ran into a large room, mechanical arms lowering themselves as the people stepped onto large mechanical pads. The mechanical arms began attaching various pieces of armor onto the humans, each armor being dark silver in color with a slim and athletic build to the design, however some changes were made based upon the user to accommodate their different sizes and shapes. However, one thing that was exactly the same for each armor was the fact that on the right shoulder pauldron lay a white circular shape that cracked around half way through the shape towards the right side, tiny fragments of the circle flying away from the rest of the design.(*2)
Once their armor was on, the helmet of the suits were lowered onto the users, the sleek, slightly v shaped visor igniting in a soft azure light. Once their helmets activated, the men and woman ran out of the room, each one grabbing dark grey rifles that laid in a rack for them at the end of the area.
On another part of the vessel, there lay a cavernous open area were hundreds of various different vehicles. Some were four winged attack looking craft, while others were larger and bulkier troop transports.
Four lines of men and women ran out from both ends of the area and charged forth towards the four winged craft. Each vehicle had sleek frame to it, with a elongated cockpit on the front of the craft that connected to a much larger aft section that appeared to be in a more rectangular shape to it. The aft section of the craft had four larger pylons connected to it in a X shape, each pylon holding a massive engine to the end of them, each engine having a slightly elongated ovular shape to it. On the bottom of the nose of the craft were four large black tipped barrels that connected to the craft via a larger bulge underneath the cockpit. Twelve hard points were on the four wings as well, while a single circular bulge was on the back of the aft section of the craft. Each vessel had a pitch black paint job to them with no markings or symbols on them at all, thusly reducing their ability to be seen in the depths of outer space.(*4)
Each craft opened their canopy's when the pilots neared them, the automatic bio-sensors detecting and reacting to their designated pilots. First the pilots jumped in and then they were joined by the Navigation/Gunner who sits behind them. As soon as the computer detected that their two passengers were inside them, the canopy's closed while the large claws holding the craft began to move them in a controlled manner, bringing the 55 ton craft below the floor of the hanger.
Once below the main flooring, the craft were swiftly maneuvered until they were facing downwards towards the hangar bay doors which opened swiftly, a thin barrier of white light keeping the vacuum of outer space out.
The claws then released the craft, the large attack vehicles hanging momentarily in the zero-g environment before the four large Particle Injection engines that were bolted onto their pylons ignited, the sickly golden glow throwing the craft into forward moment in moments, bringing the craft from 0 to 150 miles per second in only one second, the inertial dampeners slightly straining to keep their pilots from turning into fine red pastes.
One after another, 300 of these craft were quickly launched into the dark uncaring void that surrounded their massive cylindrical home.
Once outside, their subspace sensors immediately detected the IFF signals of they fellow fighter craft. No less then 30,000 fighter craft were now flying CAP around their 175 kilometer long home base.
Along the outer hull of the cylinder, several dozen larger hangar bays opened up, their own white barriers keeping oxygen inside the vessel.
From these hangers came several hundred warships. The vessels all boasted a flat, rectangular frame that has four rounded cylindrical shapes on the edges of the frame that extend over the edge of the bow. In the middle of the bow are two open half circle shapes which cover two large rounded extensions. In the middle of the ship is a rounded cylindrical shape covered by large plates of armor, while the rectangular bridge tower sat directly behind the cylindrical mid portion of the ship. The aft sections of the ships are flat rectangular shapes with four large cylindrical shaped engine glowing a bright purple color. In the middle of the ship on bow the port and starboard sides extended a cylindrical shaped sensor jammer antennas.(*4)
Just as these larger ships flew from their hangers, several hundred new distortions in space erupted all around the ship. From these distortions in space came a massive fleet composed of vessels that shared similarities to those the cylindrical ship just launched. The first ships to appear were double the size of the first ships to leave their bays. The bow section of the vessel was thin and was slightly smaller, but grew in height as it moved closer to the mid section of the vessel. Several large antennas were jutting out of the front of the bow with four red glowing lights at the tip of the bow. The mid section of the ship was much flatter then the bow, but also much wider, having angular armor platting that gives the rim of the midsection an almost diamond shape to it. Directly in the middle of the ship is the bridge tower, slightly smaller and with thicker armor compared to that of the first class of ships. Attached to the mid section are four armor sections in the shape of elongated tear drops holding several massive sets of guns. At the aft section of the vessels are square shaped engine assembly with the engines arranged in a X shape, each engine glowing a bright purple color.(*5)
The next ships to appear were 2 times the length of the ships that came out before them. Unlike the other ships before them, these ships have a thin frame, looking more like a ruler then anything else. The armor on the underside of the bow curved just slightly, going from smaller to larger and then remaining that side consistently across the length of the ventral hull. The bridge was at the end of the first third of the ship and hugged the hull much closer then the designs before them. The aft section of the vessel housed it's four larger engines, each one glowing a bright purple color just like the ships classes before her.(*6)
After the second wave of ships appeared, the third wave came from their own distortions. These ships had a similar frame shape to the ships that came before them, but unlike those ships, these vessels had two large gun barrels built into the tip of the bow itself with a hanger bay directly below those guns and a large antennae built into the ventral hull directly below the hanger bay. Down the ships frame towards the middle portion of the frame lay two large racks of large missiles on both the starboard and port sides. Directly in front of the missile racks lay two hangers on either side of the vessel as well. The aft of the ship was built into a more cross like shape, the massive engine assembly having two massive engines and another four smaller engines on the port and starboard sides of the engine assembly.(*7)
After that, the final wave of ships were deployed. These massive behemoths of metal were gigantic, many times larger the the first wave of ships deployed. In shape, these ships had a slim hull in a almost hexagon shape. Underneath the bow of the ship was a long sensor antennae that connected to the ventral hull. The ship started out almost tapped to a point, but then bulked out the closer the armor came to the aft section of the ship which housed the three massive rounded rectangular purple glowing engines.(*8)
Once the massive fleet left their space distortions, they moved into patrol patterns of their own, each vessel carefully maneuvering to their assigned position as they searched for any signs of danger.
Deep in the bowels of the ship, a man stood at the edge of a large circular table which was showing a 3D map of the surrounding area, small holographic blue dots representing friendly forces as they maneuvered around their much larger flagship.
"Sir, Supreme Admiral Ironwood is reporting that all ships successfully come back into real space. Looks like we are lucky." A small blue orb said to the man, the orb expanding and shifting to reveal the shape of a woman. She appeared to be in her early thirties, having a pale blue skin tone to her digital avatar with long flowing black hair and golden chains on both her wrists and ankles that gave her pale skin some extra coloring.(*9)
"Good. Any resources in this system?" The man asked, the light from the hologram projector lighting up his pale grey hair.
"We are in luck. This system is the proud owner of no less then three massive asteroid fields, most likely the remnants of failed planets. And from what I am detecting, there are a few thousand tons of frozen ice in those asteroids. Not to mention that there are a number of asteroid's with good composition for our Matter bays to work with." The woman said as dozens of asteroids were highlighted.
"Good. Launch the Collector drones." The man said as he then took a flat holographic block and looked down, seeing the repair reports he had requested.
"Done. Should be done in forty-three hours if our luck holds, which be both know it won't." The woman said.
"Indeed. Our luck recently hasn't been all that good." The man replied, his hands clenching tighter as the memories of the last ten engagements flows through his mind.
"Moving on from those depressing thoughts, your little project is moving along on schedule. Should be done inside of a month." The woman said.
The man frowned and said, "You shouldn't talk about these things so casually Jinn. A project of this caliber cannot be heard by the regular members."
"Please Ozpin, I have been doing these kinds of things for a long time. I have different audio being recorded and our lips are being edited as we are talking. There won't be any evidence of this little talk. Really, you should have more faith in me." Jinn replied as she crossed both her arms while giving Ozpin a confident look.
Ozpin sighed, Jinn has been the AI for this massive cylindrical shaped spaceship for even longer then the ship has been in service for and the massive ship has been serving for a very long time, over 3,000 years in fact. And for all that time, Jinn has not changed a bit since then, still being the smart talking, confident AI with more computing power then anyone could possibly fathom.
Taking a deep breath, Ozpin then said, "So, everything is going according to plan?"
"Yep. Nothing has happened so far, in fact it's been going better then even our most optimistic models predicted. I am a bit suspicious." Jinn said, her eyes narrowing just a fraction as she looked over the data, not fully trusting such a project could be working so well.
"A normal person would call you paranoid, but in our line of work it pays to question everything. Theories?" Ozpin asked.
"Beyond the idea that we might finally be getting some good luck after all of our bad luck recently? Not much." Jinn admitted.
"So, even the all-powerful Jinn, greatest AI ever created by humanity is unable to find something out? Shocking." Ozpin said, a small smirk on his face as he took a long, condescending sip from his coffee cup.
Jinn gave a glare to Ozpin and said, "Don't mock me Ozpin, or would you like me to release the photos of what happened the last time you drank alcohol? I would imagine Glynda would have quite a strong words to say about them."
Ozpin's skin tone suddenly shifted from a healthy color to white as paper in a second, the hand holding his coffee cup shaking slightly from fear as he turned his face back down towards Jinn who had a confident smirk back on her face.
"N-now now Jinn, let's not do anything too hasty." Ozpin said, trying to get back on the AI's good graces.
However, it would appear as if mercy is not a subject Jinn is well versed in as she said, "You know what, you've been pissing me off recently. I think this will serve as a lesson for you."
A second after she said those words, Jinn's avatar disappeared from view, followed a second later by a loud screaming noise. Loud footsteps started approaching Ozpin's office and the man is question immediately knew his death was fast approaching.
Ozpin sat down in his chair, cleaning up a few things here and there to make his desk as clean and respectable as possible. If his desk was going to be sight of his death, no sense in leaving it dirty.
Half a minute later and the door to his office open loudly, revealing the form of a 6 foot 3 inch woman. She had long flowing golden hair that went down past the midpoint of her back, a immaculately clean white officer uniform covering her form. Her emerald eyes, covered by a pair of glasses, usually startling in their beauty where now startling for a different reason. The shear anger held within those dark green eyes made Ozpin feel a deep swell of fear rise up within him.
The door closed behind her as she strode into his office, the small metal click it made as the metal locks engaged sounded like the cocking of a gun in Ozpin's opinion.
"Ozpin, I need to have a word with you." Glynda said with clenched teeth as she approached her commanding officer.
Ozpin merely nodded, already coming to terms with his fast approaching death.
A day later and deep in the bowels of the cylindrical shaped spaceship, eight people entered into a large bay with assembly areas for the armors.
One by one, the eight people stepped forth and were decked in specially colored armor that separated them apart from one another. These armors were a bit bulkier then the armor previously seen, but at the same time seemed far stronger.
The first to step off the platform was a woman of 26 who stood 5 foot 11 inches. Her eyes were of a deep lilac color while her hair is a mane of golden blonde that goes down past the midpoint of her back. Her armor is golden as the primary coloring with dark brown on the kneecaps, lower legs, ankles, around the waist, a few strands around her chest area, with two stripes on the upper shoulder area. After her armor was lowered onto her, she then stepped off her platform and moved to get her helmet.(*10)
The second to step of her platform was a woman of 24 that stood 5 foot 7 inches. She has short dark brown hair that turns dark red at the tips while her eyes are a light shade of silver. Her armor is a deep shade of crimson red for a majority of the armor with only the kneecaps being a dark shade of silver. Unlike the first armor, this one is much thinner, having smaller armor plating as well as a more athletic look. She too went right for her helmet once her armor as finished being put on.(*11)
The third woman stepped off of her own platform, being 5 foot 9 inches and around 26 years old. She has long raven black hair that flows like water going down to around the midpoint of her back while her eyes are an amber color as a pair of fluffy cat like ears were on either side of the top of her head. Her armor was midnight black all over, with only a few purple stripes, one on each of the elbows, one on each of the kneepads, and two on either side of her chest. Her armor was a bit bulkier then the second woman's armor, but lighter then the first woman's armor. Once decked in her armor, she left to get her helmet.(*12)
The fourth woman then stepped off of her platform. Her more petite form stood only 5 foot 6 inches tall while her eyes were a chilling pair of pale blue. Her hair was a incredible pale white that went down below the midpoint of her back. Her armor was a midpoint between the second armor and the third armor, having a bit more armor then the second, but less then the third. The armor was mainly white with a few specks of black armor plating here and there. Now that her armor as assembled, she then turned and walked off the platform to retrieve her helmet.(*13)
The next person to step off of their platform was a male, being around 26 years old and being 6 foot 3 inches tall. He has neck length golden blonde locks of hair with a pair of sapphire blue eyes. His armor was a well balanced mixture of speed, mobility and defense, having medium thick armor plating that as white as the primary coloring with blue stripes on his shoulder pads and upper arms as well as along his forearms, while a stripe of dark blue ran down the outside of his legs as well as a patch of blue in the middle of his chest. After his armor was assembled, he to walked off his pad and went to get his helmet.(*14)
After that, another woman stepped off her pad, clad in her own armor. She was woman of 26 and was roughly 6 foot 1 inch tall. She has long crimson red hair that goes to the mid of her back as well as vividly green eyes. Her armor was also a good mix of defense and mobility, having medium thick armor plating that was a mix of both gold as well as crimson red for the color. After her armor was finished, she stole a glance at the first male and then moved on to get her armor.(*15)
The next person to get their armor assembled was also a woman. She is around 5 foot 9 inches tall while being around 26 years old. She has neck length orange colored hair while her eyes are startling shade of aqua blue. Her armor is a bit thicker then the previous armor is, having armor plating that is a bit thicker. The armor itself is a light shade of pink and has a few stripes of white going across various parts of the armor. After her armor was assembled, she turned and waited for the final member to get done.(*16)
The final person to get their armor done was the second male of the group. He is around 6 foot 1 and a half inches tall and is around 26 years old. His hair is shoulder length, abyssal black in color and has pale pink colored eyes. His armor was a bit thicker then the first males is, adding just a bit more defense. The armor is a deep emerald coloring that has a few pieces of white in it as well. After his armor was assembled he stepped off his platform and was immediately grabbed by the previous woman who grabbed his hand and started dragging him away.(*17)
The eight people all grabbed their own stylized helmets and put them on, completing the armors.
"So Ruby, you know how long we are remaining in this solar system?" The golden haired woman asked the silver eyed woman next to her as she put her helmet on.
"We should be here for only 18 more hours. Just enough time to finish collecting those resources and then we're out of here." Ruby replied as she too slipped her helmet on, the visor igniting as the helmet hissed with the sound of oxygen being pumped in.
"I'm surprised we've been able to go this long without being attacked." Her white haired companion said as she grabbed a long barreled rifle and began to inspect it.
"Don't question our good luck Weiss, just enjoy it." Ruby replied as she grabbed a rectangular box and clicked the button, causing the box to shift into a polearm with a crimson red scythe blade of energy appearing at the end. Satisfied her weapon is working, she collapsed it and put it on her magnetic plate that is on her left hip.
"I agree with Weiss, good luck is not something we have a lot of. The last time we went this long without an attack we suddenly found ourselves facing 350 enemy ships in a pincer attack. Remember how close we came to losing the Beacon?" Their cat-eared compatriot said as she grabbed her own weapons and attached them to her hips.
"Don't be that way Blacky! She should focus on the good while she still have it!" The pink armored ginger said as she grabbed a massive warhammer that was almost taller then she was, even in the armor. At the base of the warhammer was an oscillating spherical object that has gravity and Lightning dsts infused into the center. She put the warhammer onto her back and then grabbed a grenade launcher.
"Nora, having a healthy degree of scepticism has kept this fleet alive for the past 3,000 years, I really don't think we should be questioning it now." Her magenta eyed partner said as with a deadpan as he checked over his two large curved hard light knives before deactivating them and attaching them to their holders.
"But Ren!" Nora said with a pout as she turned towards her life long friend.
"Hey Jaune, how's Crocea Mors working?" Ruby asked the white and blue armored male.
"Working like a charm. Those modifications are better then you promised! I swear, having you as a Specialist is almost a waste of your talents, you should have gone into weapon development." Jaune replied as he activated his own weapon, a simple sword handle that sent forth a three and half foot long hard light great sword that has a light blue blade. He deactivated the blade and then put in onto his right hip as he checked over his other equipment, two hard light shield generators located on either forearm, creating light blue hard light shields that covers the majority of his body.
"You are rather good at weapons Ruby." The tall red haired amazon said as she grabbed her hard light handle that activated to form a spear. Once she deactivated it, she grabbed a beefy rifle as well as her own hard light shield generator. It was smaller and more circular then Jaune's whose own shields were more akin to really large Kite shields.
"Thanks Pyrrha." Ruby replied with a smile as the eight warriors finished gearing up.
Once they were done, they quickly made their way to the launch bay where a large transport shuttle awaited them. The craft was blocky and has two engine pods with two engines per pod on either wing. The front as sloped downwards with a large antenna coming from underneath the nose with a pair of smaller wings on either side of the nose.(*18)
The eight Specialist's entered into the back of the shuttl where a hard light avatar was awaiting them.
"Greetings friends! Shuttl XC-45555-TYH is ready for action!" The avatar said in a load and joyous voice. The avatar was of a ginger haired girl, roughly 22 years old. She had small freckles on her face with emerald green eyes while wearing puffy white clothes.(*19)
"Hay Penny! Looks like your back to work." Ruby said as she smiled towards one of her best friends.
"Yes friend Ruby! The software upgrades have been finally implemented into my code! I am now 150% more efficient!" Penny said exuberantly.
But before the conversation could continue on, suddenly load klaxons began to blare all across the hanger bay with technicians and pilots scrambling across the bay.
"Penny, status!" Ruby ordered, dropping her kind attitude and adopting a more commanding one.
"The Beacon has detected Distortion fields 3 AU from the fleet! Number is 450 and rapidly growing! Also, the size of the Distortions indicate there is everything from Bovolves to even Leviathans! Three of them!" Penny said, some fear in her voice.
That made the Specialists grow pale. Leviathans are the enemies largest warships and nothing in the allied fleet can go toe-to-toe with them and get out alive. Coordination and teamwork are the only way to kill those beasts and that's when they are alone. However, now's there three of them coming right at the fleet with reinforcements. This is a very bad situation.
"What's our orders?" Ruby asked.
"Specialist's are to wait onboard the Beacon as there is no time to launch. Its going to be up to the fighters and defense fleet to hold the enemy off." Penny replied grimmly.
Ruby and other Specialists said nothing as they stared at the holographic screen Penny brought up, hoping and praying the defense fleet will be enough.
Fleet Admiral Jams Ironwood stared out at his map, watching as enemy forces poured out of their Distortion Fields and entered regular space.
The first ships to appear were small fighter craft. Being abyss black in color, they have a crescent shape to their frame, having curved wings with a short and stout middle section. The front of the craft has a avian looking head, having a curved beak, to beedy, red glowing 'eyes' and a horn coming from the back of the craft's head. Finally, two cylindrical cannons are mounted inside the curve of the wings themselves. (*20)
Next came much larger warships. They kept popping in and out of view, both visually and sensor wise. When they were visible, these ships have four thin spikes coming from the end of the ventral hull while four more curved spikes are on the dorsal hull with two curved spikes coming from the bow itself. Finally, the bow also had a orange glowing mask of sorts, multiple floating black hull plating floating over the orange glow with small, crimson tentacles moving around the orange circle.(*21)
The first enemy ships to actually open fire where of the next class. Being long and cylindrical, with ten cylindrical spikes along both the starboard and port sides of the vessel that have two connecting tubes at their ends. At the backend of the vessel are two large backwards swept fins connected by two large domes. At the bow of the ship is wolf-like face mask. (*22)
The next wave of enemy ships were flatter and much more angular then those that came before them. There was an open area at the front of the bow where two large beam cannons were located, while farther back along the frame is a V shaped piece of armor held above the frame of the ship where a white bone mask is located. The mask is retangular, having two large horns on either side of the back of the skull with two smaller horns underneath the main ones while a fifth and smaller rounded horn is at the top of the skull. Two blood red eyes adone the skull mask with a circular symbol directly in the middle of the mask. (*23)
The next wave of enemy ships that came through had a much more triangular frame, being more arrow shaped for the main body with two curved pylons from the ventral hull meeting with two smaller curved pylons from the dorsal hull, both sets of pylons connecting to two red glowing nacelles while a rounded hull section sits atop the hull towards th aft of the ship. The rounded hull section has a U shaped hull piece that has two fins going from the ends of the shull platting and finally, at the front of the circular hull section sits a flat bone mask that has ten crimson eyes with two spikes from the from the front of the mask while a circular symbol with two crimson crescent curves are near it. (*24)
The next wave of ships that came out where unlike anything that came before them. The ships were mostly a series of spikes coming from a circular main hub. Atop the main central hub sits a bone mask, this mask being slightly thicker and flatter then the others. Two large horns come from the top with a smaller pair underneath them, while a pair of bright red eyes stare out as a series of crimson blood vessels crisscross the bone mask coming from the main pair of eyes. Underneath the main pair sits four small eyes on either side of the mask and finally there is a curved horn at the end of the mask.(*25)
The final three warships to come out of their Distortion fields were massive, easily larger then any other vessel besides the Beacon herself. The three vessels were slightly squid shaped, having four massive curved arms coming from a smaller central node with dozens of smaller tentacles in the middle of the bow. Up above the main part of the body sits a rounded hull section that has a face mask. This face mask is more crocodilian, having a thin pair of jaws with many rows of teeth, while three pairs of crimson eyes sit on either side of the mask, while a crimson circle sits on top of the face mask with crimson tentacle symbols come from the circle.(*26)
These are the forces of the Grimm, the ancient and soulless enemy that has plagued humanity ever since they came into existence. From Remnant to even the depths of outer space, the Grimm have followed the children of Remnant relentless and ceaselessly. And now, they are summoned yet another fleet to try and sink the Beacon, humanity's last hope for survival.
Ironwood looked at the timer. 00:00:5:19. It read, meaning the fleet has to hold off the Grimm for ten minutes before the Beacon to use her Distortion drives to get away,
Not an easy feat, considering there are three Leviathans in the enemy forces. These ships will be the greatest threat to the Beacon and so need to be taken out of action as quickly as possible.
"Tell all Nike class Dreadnoughts as well as all Warlocks to power up their G.O.D. class cannons and to target those Leviathans. We need to take them out quickly." Ironwood ordered.
"G.O.D. class cannons coming online sir. Time until target is in range: 015 seconds." His weapons officer said.
Ironwood watched on as the ships under his command held position near the Beacon, trying to act as shields for her. The Grimm forces closed the distance quickly, their Nevermore fighters coming in like bullets, only to be met by Thunderhead fighters. The several thousand fighters all fired their weapons and soon the engagement descended into a massive dogfight.
Thunderheads have the advantage in maneuverability while Nevermore's are much faster. They roughly have equal firepower and shield strength, so mostly it comes down to pilot skill where humans have the advantage.
Beowolf Corvettes came into range first, their Quantum Cannons roaring out with unholy fury. The dark and crimson bolts of energy crossed the massive distance in seconds, only to be destroyed the Interceptor array's of the human warships.
One of the major advantages human warships have over Grimm is the Interceptor array, a series of guns that fire bolts of energy that disrupt incoming energy weapon fire with incredible accuracy. Only Beam Weapons cannot be intercepted as they are a continued stream of energy and not just a bolt of energy.
In response, Phased Particle and Phased Plasma cannons roared out blobs of bright baby blue superheated plasma as well as deep royal purple streams of particles crossed the star havens in seconds, striking and damaging Grimm Bio armor as the two fleets moved into knife fighting range.
The three Leviathans then finally got into range for their own weapons. Along the four marge ars, giant bolts of golden lighting arched and crackled, the massive amounts of energy coalescing into spherical blobs of pre energy or a few seconds until the energy was released. Giant streams of super charged energy flew forth and struck a Nike class Dreadnought head on. The powerful warship's hard light shields tried to keep the energy back, but they ultimately failed, allowing the golden energy to smash into the Nike's hull. The reflective armor of the warships reflectived a portion of the energy back into space and away from the hull while the E-Web armor plating absorbed a portion of hat remained. However, despite these defensive measures;, the golden energy was too much and quickly melted through the several dozen meters of armor plating and torn the vessel apart from bow to stern, resulting in a massive fireball that consumed the lives of her entire crew.
Ironwood slammed his emotions back down as he ordered, concentrate fire on the Leviathans, they'll pick off our strongest warships one by one if we don't get rid of them."
"G.O.D. cannons ready sir!" His weapon officer said.
"Fire." Ironwood coldly replied.
From the bow of his ship, a pair of massive cannons glowed with raw, uncontrollable energy for a few seconds before a pair of pure white light roared out, crossing the battlefield in a second until they smashed into the hull of a Leviathan.
The power and thick Grimm Bio-armor managed to resist the incredible power of the beams, but soon seven more pairs of pure white beams struck the hull, three more Nike class Dreadnoughts and four Warlock class warships joining Ironwood as they attempted to sink the Grimm.
The Leviathan, a warships beyond any other in the Grimm arsenal, was incapable of stopping the the energy beams as they slowly began to melt through it's thick armor. The Leviathans plethora of smaller energy weapons roared out, dozens of Quantum cannons as well as dark purple energy beams lashing out, trying to sink the human warships before they sink it.
However, it was for naught as the human's long range particle cannons managed to carved deep gouges of armor off the Leviathan and therefore expose the inner workings of the ship to further attack.
A second volley from the G.O.D. cannons sealed the fate of that Leviathan. The pure white beams punched through the weakened armor and blew through the internal sections of the ship until they reached the Bio-Reactors that power the Leviathan. The G.O.D. class particle beams caused a chain reaction that caused the Leviathan to explode with thunderous ferocity.
"Sir, the Beacon is reporting the Distortion drive is online and they'll be soon!" His XO said.
"Contact the fleet, tell them to recover the Thunderhead's and to get the Distortion anchors fired." Ironwood said.
Across the battlefield, the thousands of Thunderheads broke off from their engagements and flew back towards their carriers as quickly as they could because if they didn't get there soon, they'll be left behind.
Seconds passed like lifetimes, each moment feeling like an eternity as the humans quickly prepared to flee once more.
One after another, the Thunderhead's returned to their carriers and were brought onboard.
For the rest of the fleet, each vessel activated their Distortion anchors and fired them, invisible subspace tethors tying them to the Beacon.
The massive cylindrical ship fired forth to streams of invisible energy, causing a massive distortion to appear in front of the vessel.
The ships massive engines strained to move the incredible massive vessel into the direction as quickly as they could.
Inch by inch, the vessel slowly moved forwards towards salvation until finally, the front of the Beacon finally pierced through the Distortion.
More and more of the Beacon slowly vanished into the distortion until at long last, the massive behemoth of a ship finally left the solar system.
After the Beacon distortion disappeared, the entire human fleet suddenly began to disappear into their own distortions almost as once, finally leaving this solar system for good.
The Grimm forces began to make sweeps, attempting to find the direction of their prey so they can make haste after them. They shall never give up the hunt, not until their prey is dead. So commands their queen.
In this reality, the war between Humanity and the Grimm is about to enter it's third and final stage with the winner deciding the fate of all.
1: The Beacon looks like a slightly modified version of Babylon 5.
2: The armor looks exactly the same as Spartan Locke's Hunter class Gen 2 MJOLNIR armor.
3: The fighter craft look like black versions of the SA-32A Mitchell-Hyundyne "Thunderbolt" Starfury from Babylon 5.

United Remnant Alliance:
Formed in the year X0000, the URA is a the combination of all of Remnants militaries and governments into a singular entity which controls humanity and whose sole mission is to ensure humanity's continued existence.
The URA has been responsible for over 95% of the advanced technologies that went into the Beacon's construction, with only a few technologies like the hybridization of Dust crystals to create lighter, tougher armor plating, the Fusion reactors and the Matter-to-Matter conversion bay technology.
When the Beacon was preparing to launch, the URA leaders were all brought to the Beacon early and were among the first to be put into cryo-sleep.
Ozpin took control of the URA after the Beacon launched and has increased the military portion of the alliance in order to guard the Beacon and her precious cargo better.
The URA is still technically the official government of Remnant's people.

With these cannons, the Warlock can engage and destroy all but the strongest Grimm warships with ease. Her frame is packed with many weapons that does reduce her maneuverability a little, but that is offset by how much firepower she is packing. When a Warlock appears on the battlefield, that might be all that is needed to win the day.

Status: Still in service.
Description: The final warship developed from the Warlock's frame, the Nike class Dreadnought is the largest and most powerful warship class ever constructed by the URA. Boasting more firepower then even the Warlock, the Nike can engage and destroy all, but the strongest of the Grimm warships with almost no effort. Even the largest of Grimm warships would have a bloody chunk cut of their frames. Only the best commanders are allowed to command a Nike class Dreadnought due to their importance and all commanders wish to be worthy of commanding such vessels.

Description: Aegis armor is the latest in a long line of personal powered battle armors that the URA Marines use. Aegis armor uses nanites for repair as well as healing the user, however these nanites have an upper limit and cannot bring someone back from the dead. Aegis armor is highly customizable and comes in different generations which dictate how powerful the armor is, with Specialists and Hunters all making their own Aegis armors more specialized for them alone. Aegis armor has proven itself time and again to be a durable and reliable battle armor.
URA Marines:
Created in the year X0300, the URA Marines are the average grints of the military, armed with mass produced weapons and used to reinforce locations or attack positions as reinforcements for Hunters and Specialists. Marines are armed with Particle weapons and given Gen. I Aegis armor for defense. Gen I Aegis armor allows the average Marine to punch, run and process information at the baseline Hunter level with them using Aura and outside their own armors.
URA Drop Troopers:
The next level on the ground troop role, Drop Troopers are much better then the average Marine. A Marine mut serve for three tours before being allos to apply for Drop Troopers. If they survive the training, Drop Troopers are then augmented cybernetically to increase their combat performance. Drop Troopers are armed with Particle and Plasma weapons and are given Aegis II armor, which are stronger, tougher and better then Aegis I armor in everway, allowing the Drop Troopers to be stronger and better then even Hunters using Aura.
URA Hunters:
URA Hunters sever as the some of the best URA ground forces period. They are humans with exceptional abilities in both physical and mental capacities that put the above almost all other humans. Generally, a person is trained from birth to be a Hunter, allowing them great control over their aura as well as their Semblance, but a Drop Trooper can become a Hunter f they have proven themselves. Hunters are given Aegis III armor which makes them stronger, faster, tougher and better then Specialists outside of their armor by a far margin.
URA Specialists:
URA Specialists are the best of the best, the top 1% of the top 1% of all human ground forces. They are Hunters who have proven themselves to be far beyond the rest of their peers in almost every single way. After being selected as a Specialist, the trainee is put through intensive training where they are broken physically and mentally, however if they can survive and become better, they are given the rank of Specialist. Specialists are given Aegis IV armor, the strongest and best version of the Aegis armor. While inside the armor, a Specialist is capable of destroying entire teams of Hunters inside their own armor with ease.
URA Paladins:
Height: On average Paladin armor stands 7.1 meters in height.
Width: On average Paladin armor is armound 3.1 meters in width.
Breadth: On average Paladin armor is around 1.9 meters in breadth.
Weight: On average Aegis armor weight around 32 tons.
Defenses: 0.5 meters of reinforced multi-layered, nano-crystalline composite reflective ablative armor with Gravity dust infused to reduce weight, Ice dust to reduce heat build up, Fire dust for more heat resistance and lightning dust for increased energy redirection. E-Web armor plating has been added for additional defense against energy weapons. Extremely powerful Hard light shields for additional defense.
Weapons: Variable load out.
Powerplant: Paladin armor uses 2 x Micro-Fusion reactors built into the suit.
Status: Still in service.
Description: The general, multi-purpose battlesuit that can function in almost every combat scenario and environment, from the depths of outer space to the abyss of the ocean, Paladins are capable of fighting in it all. Paladins are highly customizable, being capable of having their entire loadout and frame removed and altered within a few hours. Paladins can serve as long range fire support units, heavy artillery, light anti-personnel weapons, troop transports in emergencies, etc. Paladins are without a doubt one of the most important units the ground forces have access to.
URA Seraphim Tanks:
Length: 9.8 meters
Height: 2.5 meters
Width: 3.2 meters
Weight: On average Seraphim armor weight around 44 tons.
Defenses: 0.8 meters of reinforced multi-layered, nano-crystalline composite reflective ablative armor with Gravity dust infused to reduce weight, Ice dust to reduce heat build up, Fire dust for more heat resistance and lightning dust for increased energy redirection. E-Web armor plating has been added for additional defense against energy weapons. Extremely powerful Hard light shields for additional defense.
Weapons: 1 x 250mm Plasma Mortar Cannon, 4 x 50mm Plasma Turrets, 8 x Plasma Missiles
Powerplant: Seraphim tank uses 2 x Micro-Fusion reactors built into the unit.
Status: Still in service.
Description: A fast, durable and reliable frame, the Seraphim tank has been in service for over a decade now and has seen some limited action as the URA doesn't get into many ground engagements with the Grimm, however when it does fight, it proves it worth. Capable of tanking many attacks that would leave lesser vehicles in scraps, the Seraphim has an extremely high amount of durability. The firepower of the Seraphim is also high, being capable of destroying enemy units from several kilometers away using it's gun in an arch, or be using it as a beam to carve enemy positions apart. The 4 x 50mm plasma turrets allow it to mow down enemy ground units with ease and the 8 plasma missiles can take down Nevermores. However, the Seraphim does have several weaknesses. For one, treads of the unit can be blown apart by traps and rough terrain can make the Seraphim unable to continue on. Despite these flaws, the Seraphim is a deadly unit no Grimm wants to face.
URA Valkyrie Jeep:
Length: 7.2 meters
Height: 1.9 meters
Width: 2.7 meters
Weight: On average Valkyrie armor weight around 20 tons.
Defenses: 0.3 meters of reinforced multi-layered, nano-crystalline composite reflective ablative armor with Gravity dust infused to reduce weight, Ice dust to reduce heat build up, Fire dust for more heat resistance and lightning dust for increased energy redirection. E-Web armor plating has been added for additional defense against energy weapons. Extremely powerful Hard light shields for additional defense.
Weapons: 1 x Dual 50mm Plasma Guns on back.
Powerplant: Valkyrie jeep uses 1 x Micro-Fusion reactor built into the unit.
Status: Still in service.
Description: The Valkyrie is a variable unit, with many being made into transports, light attack units, reconascience, repairs, supply truck, etc. The Valkyrie has proven itself with it's sturdy and tough frame that can take a pounding, without sacrificing agility and mobility. Valkyrie class Jeeps provide a crucial service for all URA forces as they can be used for a myriad of roles.
Salem and the Grimm:
The soulless, emotionless enemies of humanity and the Faunus. Grimm once came in dozens if not hundreds of different forms, ranging from large wolf like creatures to monstrous creatures beyond the size of mountains. However, when the Beacon left with all of humanity and the Faunus, Salem, the dark lady of the Grimm was not content on just letting them go.
She had been capturing dozens of scientists for years now and had kept them alive in case she needed them. Once the Beacon left, she tortured them until she broke them and then send them to aid her. With the help of the scientist, Salem managed to transform Grimm flesh into a powerful bio-armor capable of surviving the depths of outer space. She created Bio-Fusion reactors, powerful energy sources that tap into the power of dark matter by using Grimm flesh as a stabilizing element.
After developing Bio-weapons for her new Grimm forces, Salem had the scientists transformed into a new humanoid type of Grimm so that they would serve her forever.
Once her Grimm forces were ready, Salem sent them off to hunt for the Beacon, humanity's final hope.
Several of her smaller ships did indeed find the Beacon, however due to the Hunters boarding parties as well as the incredibly strong hard-light shields of the Beacon, they were incapable of destroying the Beacon before they were overrun by the Hunters and then destroyed, allowing the Beacon to escape.
After that, the war between humanity/Faunus and the Grimm was renewed once more, with the battlefield being the stars themselves.
Space Form Grimm:
Nevermore class Space Fighter: Sentri class Interceptor
Length: 23 meters
Width: 80 meters
Height: 7 meters
Crew: None, living vessel
Defenses: 3.34 centimeters of extremely dense and tough Grimm Bio-armor, somewhat capable of reflecting energy off of the armor. Dark Matter energy shields.
Powerplant: 2 x Micro-Bio-Fusion reactors with a unknown max power output.
Engines: 2 x Large Dark Matter Thrust Engines.
Weapons: 2 x 55mm Quantum Bolt Cannons, 4 x Hardpoints for Dark Matter Warheads
Status: Still in service.
Description: Although lacking armor in any sense of the word since even Icarus class Transporters can take down Nevermores if the gunners are good enough, Nevermores are the Grimm's best space superiority fighters. They have powerful weapons and incredible speed, outpacing even Thunderhead Starfury's although Thunderhead's are still much more maneuverable. Nevermore's speed and cloaking allow them to attack and even sink much larger warships, making them a dangerous foe if used correctly.
Seer class Scout Ship: Shadow Scout vessel
Length: 356 meters
Width: 180 meters
Height: 410 meters
Crew: 500 Grimm for internal defense
Defenses: 4 meters of extremely dense and tough Grimm Bio-armor, somewhat capable of reflecting energy off of the armor. Dark matter energy shields as well as a Phased Subspace cloaking field.
Auxiliary: 4 x Nevermore Space Fighters.
Powerplant: 3 x Bio-Fusion reactors with a unknown max power output.
Engines: 3 x Large Dark Matter Thrust Engines.
Weapons: 6 x Light Quantum Bolt Cannons, 3 x Medium Quantum Bolt Cannons, 2 x Launchers for Dark Matter Warheads, and 1 x Dark Matter Energy Beam Cannon.
Status: Still in service.
Description: Geist scout vessels are the eyes and ears of the Grimm, being capable of sneaking around human fleets and relaying valuable data to much larger Grimm warships that allow them to inflict terrible attacks. Although not a proper warships, the Geist class is more then capable of inflicting some damage to Olympus class Frigates. Geist vessels are some of the most dangerous Grimm warships, as they are what tell the Grimm where to attack and how intensely. Priority is given to geist ships, with all human and Faunus commanders told to sink any Geist they see on sight and then to leave the system as quickly as possible.
Beowolf class Corvette: Shadow Command Ship
Length: 750 meters
Width: 300 meters
Height: 280 meters
Crew: 750 Grimm for internal defense
Defenses: 7 meters of extremely dense and tough Grimm Bio-armor, somewhat capable of reflecting energy off of the armor. Dark matter energy shields as well as a Phased Subspace cloaking field.
Auxiliary: 10 x Nevermore Space Fighters.
Powerplant: 4 x Bio-Fusion reactors with a unknown max power output.
Engines: 2 x Large Dark Matter Thrust Engines.
Weapons: 12 x Light Quantum Bolt Cannons, 4 x Medium Quantum Bolt Cannons, 2 x Heavy Quantum Bolt Cannons, 2 x Dark Matter Energy Beam Cannons, 4 x Launchers for Dark Matter Warheads and 1 x Grimm Death Ray Beam Cannon.
Status: Still in service.
Description: Beowolves and well as Ursa Major's form the backbone of the Grimm fleets. Beowolves, although not powerful like larger Grimm ships and although they are incapable of performing the same spying as a Geist, are very deadly when they attack in wolf packs. Since hundreds of these ships exist, they attack in groups as large as twenty or thirty, allowing them to overwhelm and destroy warships much larger then themselves. One wise URA Captain once said, "Only a fool ignores Beowolves. They will swarm you and rip your shields apart before you can react. They might not have absurd firepower and they can't stick a knife in your back like a Geist, but they make up for their lack of strength with large numbers. One Beowulf is a pest. One hundred Beowolves is a force of nature."
Ursa Major class Frigates: G'Quan class Heavy Cruiser
Length: 900 meters
Width: 370 meters
Height: 200 meters
Crew: 1,000 Grimm for internal defense
Defenses: 9 meters of extremely dense and tough Grimm Bio-armor, somewhat capable of reflecting energy off of the armor. Dark matter energy shields as well as a Phased Subspace cloaking field.
Auxiliary: 20 x Nevermore Space Fighters.
Powerplant: 6 x Bio-Fusion reactors with a unknown max power output.
Engines: 2 x Large Dark Matter Thrust Engines.
Weapons: 16 x Light Quantum Bolt Cannons, 8 x Medium Quantum Bolt Cannons, 4 x Heavy Quantum Bolt Cannons, 4 x Dark Matter Energy Beam Cannons, 6 x Launchers for Dark Matter Warheads and 2 x Grimm Death Ray Beam Cannons.
Status: Still in service.
Description: Ursa Major's, like Beowolves, form the backbone of the Grimm fleets. The have increased defenses and firepower over Beowolves, however they suffer a drop in maneuverability and agility due to their increase in mass. Ursa Majors, just like Beowolves, using operate in packs, having 6 to 10 individual warships together at all times. They don't swarm larger warships like Beowolves, instead they use their larger Death Ray Beam Cannons to pick off damaged warships. Ursa Majors are just as deadly as Beowolves in the right situation and all URA captains should take care around them.
Deathstalker class Destroyer: Looks like a Minbari Whitestar
Length: 1,900 meters
Width: 890 meters
Height: 710 meters
Crew: 2,000 Grimm for internal defense
Defenses: 13 meters of extremely dense and tough Grimm Bio-armor, somewhat capable of reflecting energy off of the armor. Dark matter energy shields as well as a Phased Subspace cloaking field.
Auxiliary: 30 x Nevermore Space Fighters.
Powerplant: 6 x Bio-Fusion reactors with a unknown max power output.
Engines: 2 x Large Dark Matter Thrust Engines.
Weapons: 20 x Light Quantum Bolt Cannons, 12 x Medium Quantum Bolt Cannons, 7 x Heavy Quantum Bolt Cannons, 6 x Dark Matter Energy Beam Cannons, 6 x Launchers for Dark Matter Warheads and 2 x Grimm Death Ray Beam Cannons.
Status: Still in service.
Description: Deathstalkers are a lot rarer then Beowolves and Ursa Majors, but they have a crucial role in the Grimm fleets. They serve as long range fire support for smaller warships since their Death Ray Beam Cannons possess the ability to merge together into a singular beam of highly concentrated energy that can tear apart URA warships from long distances. However, a Deathstalker is a dangerous foe even in knife fighting range as their heavy armor and firepower can do massive damage to much larger ships if they are not prepared.
Battle-Crab class Heavy Cruiser: Looks like a Shadow Battle-Crab
Length: 2,900 meters
Width: 2,700 meters
Height: 1,300 meters
Crew: 3,000 Grimm for internal defense
Defenses: 16 meters of extremely dense and tough Grimm Bio-armor, somewhat capable of reflecting energy off of the armor. Dark matter energy shields as well as a Phased Subspace cloaking field.
Auxiliary: 40 x Nevermore Space Fighters.
Powerplant: 12 x Bio-Fusion reactors with a unknown max power output.
Engines: 6 x Large Dark Matter Thrust Engines.
Weapons: 26 x Light Quantum Bolt Cannons, 16 x Medium Quantum Bolt Cannons, 10 x Heavy Quantum Bolt Cannons, 10 x Dark Matter Energy Beam Cannons, 10 x Launchers for Dark Matter Warheads and 3 x Grimm Death Ray Beam Cannons.
Status: Still in service.
Description: Battle-Crab's serve as command ships for entire Grimm armadas, leading their smaller siblings in brutal raids against humanity's forces. Their extremely tough armor as well as their immense firepower allows them to tear apart entire human fleets by themselves if they are clever enough. The sight of one or more Battle-Crab's on any battlefield is enough to break the defenders spirit.

Description: The largest and most powerful Grimm warship ever, Leviathan's are stronger and even more deadly then Battle-Crabs. Their Lightning Death Ray Beam Cannon has enough firepower to severely deplete the shields of even a Nike class Dreadnought, if not collapse them entirely. Nike class ships usually have to team up to take down Leviathan. However, Leviathan's take a long time to create and so are a rare sight to see.
And that is it for this!
I hope you enjoyed this story idea, this one has been in my head ever since I read, "Journey into the Stars" by SleepinEyes, good story, I highly recommend it.
I also have been looking more into Babylon 5 and I got to say, the franchise is amazing and I am going to watch the series as soon as I can. I just love the incredible ship design, character development, awesome story telling. I really think Babylon 5 should get more love then it does.
Same as always, you want to turn this into a incredible story, simply send me a P.M. asking permission and I'll give it to you, just give me credit for the idea.
And that is it, so if you have any comments, criticism or concerns, leave a review or send me a P.M., always appreciated.
Until next time, this is StrikeFreedom10, signing off.
PLUS ULTA!
Farewell for now!
