Thalia Grace had a strange life. At sixteen she had completed high school and had entered a relationship with a Lucas Castellan, son of entrepreneur Daniel Castellan. It was an abusive one, so she left him. He would have none that so he kept trying to pressure her into getting back together with him again. She had enough of it and joined the Marines; the marines were trying a new social experiment with female and male deployments. Now she's twenty one and in command of a tank crew. She liked life has is it was. Now she been deployed in a new world with the same mission, to protect and safeguard the free world.
Third Recon was traveling down the highway that led to Ansel, a large coastal town. Team RWBY would meet up with Jaune Arc's Family and paves the way for the UEM to set up a Forward Operations Base or simply FOB. Ansel had a population of ten thousand people and a small force of huntsman. The Arc family was the main defenders along with Weiss's older sister, Winter Schnee. The Arcs were a rich Valean family who had birthed many warriors and leaders, Thalia had been confident with them but not so sure about the Schnee sister.
Their Field Engineer Private First Class Leo Valdez was tasked with setting up a radio tower in Ansel. They had only ten kilometers left until Ansel but they could see smoke in the distance. Ansel was either under attack or fixing damages from being attacked. The Huntsman Commander, Jun Ozpin, had told them Ansel had gone silent for the last two weeks.
The Convoy was half a kilometer out from Ansel, as they passed they saw the decaying corpses of Grimm. The Defenders of Ansel were putting up a serious fight. Summer radioed in that they're approaching the gates.
"It's been what four hours since we left Patch?" Jacob asked.
"Yeah, it looks like these people put up a serious fight. I wonder how they'll react to us." Kayla responded.
"Just hope they don't shoot at us," Kincaid joked. They all chuckled.
"Let's focus, Major said we're at the gates," Thalia ordered. They went silent as they stopped with the rest of the Convoy.

Summer Rose looked toward the woman that questioned why they were here. She looked at her; the woman looked in her late thirties. She had Auburn hair and hazel eyes. She looked like warrior, but if you looked closer you could she was a mother.
"Do you by any chance happen to be Samantha Arc?" Summer asked, the woman stiffened a little and narrowed her eyes.
"Why does that matter?" Samantha retorted back.
"Ozpin sent us, to reinforce Ansel," Summer said.
"You look military, are you sure? What is your Huntsman ID?"
"Summer Rose, 19488908." Samantha checked the data and narrowed her eyes.
"Aren't you dead," Samantha said.
"Do you want our help or not?"
"What makes you think we need it?"
"Do you see that vehicle in the back?"
"Yes, I do."
"That Tank has the firepower to knock a Goliath on its knees and then some," Summer said with a smirk.
"I don't believe you." Summer then grinned.
"Jaune says hello," Summer said still grinning. Samantha tensed.
"Where is he then?" Samantha asked, with hidden fear laced in the question.
"Still in patch, but I do believe a Winter Schnee would like to see her little sister," Summer picked up the radio. "Summer … Weiss I need you in the front … Summer out."
The back of the APC opened up and out came Weiss. She walked towards the front of the Convoy.
"Alright it looks like you are from Patch," Samantha said with a small grin. "Hello Weiss how are you today?"
"I am doing fine thank you for asking, thank you for asking Mrs. Arc. It would be really good if you let them in. They have done more than anyone on remnant."
"Really, now. OPEN THE GATES."
Weiss walked back to the APC and the Convoy entered Ansel.
The town looked like it had seen better days. On the horizon, they saw burning and collapsed buildings. Shop windows were shattered; cars were parked in alley way to block of routes that led to the center of the town. Trash and rubble littered the streets, the mood of the town was morbid, and maybe that was why they were getting attacked.
People had looked toward the Convoy with curiosity and hope. They drove to Castle D'Arc, the main reason Ansel had not fallen. The Castle gate opened and they drove in. Leo Valdez and team RWBY were setting up the radio tower.
"Are you sure you know who to set this up?" Yang asked the short Latino man.
"And who as the knowledge of earthen technology?" Leo retorted.
"Right," Yang responded a little flustered.
"WEISS!" A tall woman who looked like Weiss screamed.
"Winter!" Weiss yelled back. The two embraced each other.
"Who are these people," Winter asked in confusion.
"I tell you later, but there here to help," Weiss said happily. Captain Louis and lieutenant Itami walked to towards them.
"PFC Valdez, is that Comms tower ready?" Itami asked.
"Almost eel-tee, I just need to find a place for the antenna," Valdez responded with a crisp salute. The Castle front door opened and what came out were two people. A man with blonde hair and azure blue eyes; he looked in his early forties and had a muscular figure. The woman to his right, she had auburn and azure blue eyes; she looked in her early twenties.
"My wife had told me that a group of people were coming, yes?" The man said, and everybody nodded. "My name is Jonathan Arc; this is my eldest daughter Mariette Arc and welcome to Ansel."

"What the hell are those?" asked assistant director Glynda Goodwitch.
"Those are Dragon heavy rockets, they're carrying the Communication Satellites that will benefit not only the deployment of the UEM, but Remnant," responded Doctor Simmons, Doctor Simmons was a NASA scientist.
"You've broken the constrictions of your world's gravity?" Director Ozpin asked calmly while taking a sip from his ever present coffee mug.
"Director Ozpin, we put a man on our moon and flung space probes out of our own Solar System. Making it to Orbit is only a small portion of what we have done in the field of space travel. In fact our leaders heard that Remnant is near the verge of collapse, so they gave us a blank check to make anything in Orbit as long as it benefits Remnant. I have actually discovered where Remnant is located in our star field. You are located in what we call Alpha Centari C. You are four point seven light years away from earth."
"Really, that seems kind of far," Ozpin commented.
"Compare it to other things the universe, you are very close to us," said Simmons. "The fact that there are humans here and not on earth brings questions to the scientific community."
Glynda and Ozpin shared a look.
"If you truly here to help than we must tell you of the real threat to all life," Ozpin said. Doctor Simmons looked with interest at the pair.
"What threat is this?" Simmons asked with curiosity.
"Only a select few know what the truth, and we trust you will only tell your leaders about this, understood?"
"I understand, this must be a sensitive matter? What is the Truth then?"
"There is a queen. A queen of the Grimm. Her name is Salem. I have been trying to fight her for nearly as long as these Kingdoms have existed."
"And what pray tell do you think we can do?"
"Help us," Glynda said. "We have operatives in Atlas and Mistral."
"I see what I can do."
