Lieutenant John Emerson was a lot of things. He was a friend, he was a soldier, and he was human. But the treatment of Faunas that was going on in front of him, was disgusting him to his very soul. Two grown human men were bulling on a teenage deer Faunus girl. They were pulling on her antlers and calling her names, very offensive names. Emerson was pretty sure it was going to turn it some even more lower, such as sexual violence.
Emerson walked toward the trio and raised his rifle to his hip, his eyes narrowed.
"I suggest you two step away from the poor girl," Emerson growled threateningly at them.
"What are you going to do about it?" Man number one asked. While the two were focus on him, Emerson noticed a tall woman; she had blonde hair and blue eyes. She had a double yellow crescent on the sleeve of her bomber jacket. She had to be an Arc. She held two long curved blades at each of the men's throats.
"He's not doing anything, I am," The woman said with a light tone to her voice, but you could tell it was dangerous. The two men paled and started running away. The deer Faunus hugged the Arc woman and left. The Arc turned to him.
"My name is Juliet Arc, who are you?" Juliet asked tilting her head slightly. He put his rifle to side and relaxed a little.
"Lieutenant John Emerson, I'm from Third Recon," He said lightly. Emerson put one of his hands out to offer a handshake. Juliet put one her blades down and took his hand, shaking it. The two smiled and relaxed.
"So what are you doing here?" Juliet asked.
"To help out and help defend Ansel," Emerson replied.
"I mean why you are really here? You're military," Juliet said knowingly.
"Hmm … you'll have to talk to Captain Jackson for that. I guess we need to spread our sphere of influence."
"Why?"
"I don't know my leaders goals,"
"I know for sure you aren't valean,"
"I'm not valean,"
"Then what are you,"
"You wouldn't believe me-," Emerson was cut off.
"When you're done flirting with the locals, eel-tee we have a call from HQ, more Grimm incoming," chimed Sergeant Grace walking towards the two. "My marine tankers are about to load up."
Emerson turned back to Juliet.
"We'll continue this later," Emerson said with a small smile. Emerson had pick upped his rifle and ran toward the Arc Castle, Juliet and Thalia in tow.

The armored column consisted of twelve M1A2 Abrams, ten M3 Bradley Fighting Vehicles, four A2 Humvees, twenty M19 troop carriers, and two Kaybasha MRLS. They were driving full steam towards Ansel to reinforce the defenders. Major Yaginda was participating in this deployment. They were two hours out from Ansel, drones had reported that a regiment sized Grimm horde was approaching Ansel.
Team JNPR and the rest of team CVFY had come to assist.

Ansel North Gate
Kingdom of Vale

Third Recon had taken the North wall as ever one else had took the other walls. Matterson had placed remote explosives all across the field, Bannon made a sniper's perch, and Thalia's Abram was parked in front of the north gate. Emerson was setting up a machine gun turret. The Humvee was barked in the inner courtyard ready to light up anything that broke through. Team RWBY was on top of the wall with Summer and the rest of Third Recon.
"You sure this is enough to stop the Grimm?" asked Jonathan Arc, he wanted to see the combat abilities of Third recon.
"Mr. Arc this is enough," commented Summer with a smirk. The Grimm had started to approach from the forest. Running at full speed at the gate, they got just close enough that Matterson set off the well placed remote explosives, killing a good many of them. Bannon took crack shots at the larger Grimm hoping to blind or even kill them. Emerson started firing the HMG and mowing down the smaller Grimm. A Goliath was stop in it tracks by an Armor Piercing High Explosive round. Jonathan looked towards the Abram with awe and fear, the power stop the largest of Grimm with ease. It scared him to his very soul.
A loud piercing screech filled the air, Summer stiffened. She knew of that sound it was a Nuclaevee. She hurryingly picked up the radio and contacted the Sergeant Grace.
"Sergeant … focus on the Nuclaevee … use an APR round then … It's a top priority target … Summer out"
Inside the Abram, Kayla Riker Loaded an Armor Penetrating round in to the Turret. Kincaid aimed the Cannon and readied the gun for firing. Kincaid took the shot with a resounding sound of a boom. The shell blew off an arm of the Nuclaevee, there was a problem. That was their only APR round left. And APs and 50 BMG round did nothing to it. Nevermores stared battering the defensive position, with razor sharp feathers. Bannon was almost torn in half and Blake's Aura had broken. The Humvee started firing at the Nevermores and took a few down. The North gat was about to fall until the sweet sound of music filled the air, When the Man Comes Around, by Jonny Cash.
The Nuclaevee cut down by the sound of a 140 mm cannon. It was from an American AC-130. The Forty Third Amour Regiment had arrived at Ansel.
"This is the UEM, lock and load people," Said Major Yaginda on the radio from the command Humvee. Four Abrams and a Humvee curved towards the west gate where Grimm concentration was second highest.

The rest of the Arc family had went to the west gate had tried to hold the line, and were failing. Lily Arc was hurrying around the defensive line to provide medical aid. Rouge and Katherine were busy slewing Grimm left and right. Jean was trying to keep a Death Stalker from breaking the line. Violet was shooting down as many Gryphons as possible, while Juliet sliced and diced her way through Grimm.
Samantha and Winter too busy with a nevermore the they almost forgot to watch their backs. The west gate defenses were failing. Until they heard the sound of engines in the distance, Samantha recognized those vehicles and gasped.
M1A2 Abrams were lumbering towards the field of battle, their ominous cannons poised to kill. All four fired on the approaching horde with booming sound, cutting down the opposition with High Explosives shells. The Humvee opened fire mowing down Beowulfs and Boarbatusks with ease. Four people exited the Humvee as it stopped. The Arc Family instantly recognized one of the people; Jaune Arc had joined the fight.

Salem's Castle

Cinder Fall felt something was wrong. Her mistress was pacing for a while now; it was starting to worry her.
"It was supposed to be a simple thing," Dr. Arthur Watts started.
"I agree, but all these goodie-to-shoes keep ruining our plans!" An overly excited Tyrian Carrows stated. Hazel just grunted in agreement. Salem came to a stop and looked towards her follow, smiling.
"I … understand now," Salem stated ominously.
"What is it your grace," Dr. Watts said curiously. It was very rare when Salem did not understand something.
"We have interlopers intruding on our plans. I couldn't understand why I lost contact with my creations in Vale's center until now."
"Hazel, my dear, can you come into contact with the White Fang?"
Hazel grunted in affirmation with a nod.
"This meeting is adjourned," Salem said, whoever these interlopers were, they will know better than to mess with Grimm Queen.
