Shanghai

People's Republic of China

Earth

Admiral Perseus "Percy" Jackson was slightly nervous. He had been given complete command of the Fleet that guarded Shanghai. That Fleet was comprised of two Aircraft carriers, two battleships, fifteen destroyers, fifteen cruisers, five fast attack submarines, one nuclear attack submarine, and five supply and munitions ships. He had been given the order to send ships over to remnant. So he was sending one aircraft carrier, two battleships, ten cruisers, ten destroyers, four fast attack submarines, one nuclear attack submarine, and four supply and munitions ships.

Percy was sitting in the captain's chair of the Carl Vinson, the flag ship of the fleet of Retribution. To his left were the joint commanders; Major Tomas, Major Ch'in, Major Romanoff, and Major Yaginda. To his Right were Raven Branwen and Major Summer Rose. He told Comms to open a fleet wide channel.

"This is Admiral Perseus Jackson, servicemen and women of the Earth. We are boldly going where none have gone, into an unknown world to fight a Known threat. If anyone has watched the News well there are one hundred million Faunus out there crying for equality. The drones report we will be arriving outside of the current Capitol of Vale, General Quarters everyone."

Klaxons blared on every ship in the fleet. Raven was quiet surprised that he would do that. The ships Lumbered forward towards the Rift slowly and dangerously. The Grimm will know pain.

Patch

Kingdom of Vale

Remnant

The city had been under siege for almost a week now. The defenders never thought they would ever live to see daylight again. As the radio crackled to life and silky and sweet voice filled the air.

"Attention Defenders of Patch, My name is Summer Rose. Hunter ID 19488908-34. I have brought help."

In the distance seven strange craft and rock music filled the air. It brought a little hope to the defenders.

Show me how to lie; you're getting better all the time

It confuses the Grimm and they stopped their attack.

And Turing all against one is an art that's hard to teach

The Strange craft drew closer at every word.

And another clever word sets of a herd

The Defender and civilians look at the strange craft with even more hope that before.

And as you step back into line a mob jumps to its feet.

The Strange craft hover over the defenders and started letting 7.25 mm rounds loose on the ground-type Grimm, Instantly killing most. The bigger Grimm got to bite the head of twenty Raptor dumb missiles. On the Coast twenty landing craft filled to the brim with soldiers moved toward a beach. USS Iowa and the USS Missouri fired all of the 16 incher Cannons they at the beach causing a huge and beautiful image of pure death on the beach.

Four of the Landing Craft had M1A2 Abrams in them. One of the Abrams contained Corporal Jacob Keyes, Corporal Jasper Kincaid, Corporal Kayla Riker, and Sergeant Thalia Grace.

"Yo this Deployment is gonna be the death of us," Corporal Keyes said nervous of the Grimm.

"Cut it out Keyes, They like the nervousness," Kayla said, smirking being one of the two female Marine Tankers.

"Stop flirting, you two, would you?" Kincaid said tiredly.

"Cut the chatter you three, were almost to the beach, and the Iowa is almost finished so be prepared," Thalia ordered.

"Yes, mam," the three corporals responded instantly. "Kayla, load a HEAT Shell"

"Yes mam," Kayla said, loading the Shell in to the chamber.

"Kincaid," Thalia said, to the gunner. "Ready to fire at anything that moves."

"Yes mam," Kincaid replied. The door of the Landing Craft opened up.

"Keyes, take us in," Thalia ordered. "And Kincaid?"

"Yes, mam," Kincaid responded.

"Play something catchy," She requested.

"Yes, mam," He responded cheerfully with a smile.

'Play: Hey Mama' he selected on the iPod.

With grace and the edge of a lethal blade, The Abram they were in moved to assault the Grimm and assist the Defenders.

Taiyang Xiao Long and Qrow Branwen were taking down Grimm back to back until a Goliath entered the field. They silently cursed themselves and prepared to fight it. Although they didn't need to fight after hearing the deafening sound of a 120 mm cannon of an M1A2 Abram and the resulting explosion that followed. Easy to say the Elephant-like Grimm didn't get back up. The tank strode by like nothing ever happen until it stops in front of them.

'Who ever Sum brought onto the field they don't play, damn," Qrow thought. The commander's hatch opens up on and a woman with electric blue eyes pops up.

"You need a ride, boys. I am Sergeant Thalia Grace, we were told to look out for a man with scythe and a blonde brawler," Thalia said.

"Sure, but who's look 'in?" Qrow asked. Probably Summer and Raven.

"Major Summer Rose," Thalia said. Yup, definitely Summer and Raven.

"C'mon, Tai let's get on board."

Marine Force Recon Captain Louis Jackson, the son of the Admiral was not having a good day. These Grimm were giving the no quarter. He had lost half of his designated squad, to whom he didn't know. Those he did know were Lieutenant John Emerson, Sergeant Jason Matterson, and Sergeant Sarah Bannon.

"Bannon what do see?" Louis asked.

"An Abram down the street with two Huntsman on it, I think that's who I see, sir," Sarah responded. Looking down the scope of her custom Tremor CDX .50 sniper rifle.

"Wait, an Abram?"

"Yep"

The Abram in questioned drove towards them, it had stopped in front of Louis' squad. The Commander's hatch open and a female tanker faced them.

"You Captain Louis Jackson?" she asked.

"Yes, why?" Louis replied.

"Major Rose wants to see you," The commander.

"I'm not going without my team," he said fiercely.

"They can tag along as well," She said. "I'm Sergeant Thalia Grace, by the way."

With that out the way Louis and his team boarded the Abram, and it drove to the temporary Base of Operations in Upper Patch. The drive there was a short one; it was only a matter of time before they secured the city. On the way they had met up with a supply convoy that also contained wounded defenders. Once they made it to the command base, everyone had gotten off of the Abram. Louis and his team had went off over to the command tent, the two huntsmen followed suite.

They went into the Command tent and there sat the Joint-staff Commanders and team RWBY.

"Welcome, Captain Jackson," Major Tomas said looking towards the Captain. "Major Rose he's all yours."

The Major in question stood up and walked towards him.

"You're lucky I'm friends with your mother, Captain," Major Rose started; she turned her head to the two huntsmen and smiled. "It's been quite a while Qrow."

The Huntsman, Qrow, just stared at her. Summer Rose promptly slapped him in his face.

"OW!" Qrow exclaimed in pain.

"It's not right to stare at girl like that Dad," Ruby piped in. The other Huntsman just laughed at Qrow.

"Yeah, yeah," Qrow complained. "Laugh it up, Tai."

"Hello Summer, how are you?" Tai asked Summer.

"I'm doing fine; you should know that Raven is helping out my SEALs in securing a landing point in Vale City."

"Wow, you people work fast."

"The people of earth don't play around when it comes to warfare, Tai. I should know that, I participated in a war with them and it's gruesome."

"I read that while reading War and Peace," Weiss said when she heard the war comment.

"Alright I called you out here to give you a mission, which even myself and team RWBY will be participating in, Captain Jackson."

"What is this mission, mam?"

"We'll be putting together teams to win the hearts and minds of the people."
