Tales of Remnant

Retaliation Part 5

The Helghast meets with Team RWBY and the others at Menagerie.

Disclaimers: I own nothing

In the Menageria Jungle during the night, a Atlesian Convoy of ISA Jeeps, AAPC and HAMR IFV are driving by unaware that they are being watched by Helghast Forces who are going to ambush them from the darkness.

"Fire on my signal", one random Helghast Assault Infantry Trooper said.

"Sir!"

Next one Helghast Support Trooper takes aim with his VC9 Rocket Launcher and the signal is given, he fires destroying the HAMR IFV causing the rest of the Atlesian Convoy to crash into one another. Then all of the Helghast Assault Infantry Troopers and a Heavy Trooper fires their STA-52 Assault Rifles and STA-6 Chaingun at Atlesian Troopers who stood no chance against the Helghast Ambush because they couldn't tell where they are and are all wiped out. The Helghast leave no survivors on this.

"All clear!"

"Acknowledge, I'm already on my way to meet with Ozpin and his allies here in Menageria", Colonal Radec said.

"Understood."

"Helghast leave no survivors on this", Ozpin commented.

"Because Atlas has betrayed everything that it originally stood for all thanks to Ironwood who succumbs to his paranoia and fear of Salem and destroyed Mantle when Ruby and others refuse to leave the people there behind. Even after the Helghast have destroyed Salem and thus ending the war against the Grimm, Ironwood still refuse to relent and continues protect Remnant like a tyrant."

"Now the Helghast are here to make James and Atlas pay for their crimes", Glynda said.

"Oh yes they are", Hakaze said to her.

Meanwhile at the small village of Menageria, the Helghast has already controlled the area in order to keep it safe from Atlas as they wait for Colonel Radec to arrive. So far everybody including Team RWBY have gain their trust in the Helghast after learning of their roles here in Remnant which was told by Radec himself. There Helghast Tanks, APCs and more around the area setting up defenses against Atlas.

"Wow that's a very good set up down there", Ruby said after seeing all the defenses set by the Helghast.

"Well we all have a common enemy here Ruby, it's Atlas", Weiss commented to her.

"I know, plus we have gain the Helghast trust."

"That's why they are here to help", Yang said to her.

"Colonel Radec has arrived", one random Hazmat Trooper said after seeing Radec's Overlord Dropship lands and Radec exits to meet with the others.

"They are waiting for you Colonel."

"Good, escort me to them."

"Yes sir."

"Colonel just a reminder to you that the rest of our fleet our are hovering above the other Kingdoms." That Hazmat Trooper said while escorting Radec to meet with Ruby, Ozpin and the others.

"Good, they need to keep Atlas away from the other Kingdoms", Radec said knowing they will need to be sure Atlas stays away from the other Kingdoms no matter what.

"Oh boy this should be interesting", Sun commented.

"Plus the Helghast wants Atlas to stay away from the other Kingdoms after being declared a threat to all of Remnant", Neptune said next.

"Very true, after all everyone in Remnant saw what happened to Mantle aside from the Helghast who was always monitoring Remnant after they left", Hakaze said to them.

"Now the Helghast wants to punisher Atlas for it's crimes, but James will probably get the worse of it because he order Mantle destroyed", Glynda said and Hakaze nodded.

Team RWBY and everyone else is gathered at the Belladonna Household as Radec enters and meets everyone who gives like a terrified look for some reason.

"Colonel Radec?" Ozpin wanting to shake hands with him, oh and Ozpin is still inside Oscar.

"I am Radec and your Ozpin but formerly Ozma, the lover of Salem", Radec answered but also blurts out what everyone knows already after learning stuff from Jinn while shaking hands.

"Also I seem to recall Team RWBY and JNPR ended up getting mad at you for keeping secrets that costed many of those they cared about to die including Pyrrha Nikos", Radec mention that part.

"Oh the reason why Ozpin is one with Oscar Pine, it's because the during Fall of Beacon, after Cinder Fall stole the Fall Maiden's magic right after she killed Amber, she battled Ozpin and won. But Ozpin's sole survives and found his way to Oscar." Hakaze explains how did Oscar and Ozpin become one.

"And Pyrrha?" Jaune ask and Hakaze will explain that part too.

"Pyrrha was originally supposed to be the Fall Maiden which was suggested by Ozpin, Glynda, James and Qrow because her combat talent proves she is worthy to be the next Fall Maiden. Despite Pyrrha made her choice as a yes, Pyrrha gets conflicted about it due to her belief in destiny. During the Fall of Beacon after giving a farewell kiss and confessing her love to Jaune and sends him away in a rocket locker, then she goes off to battle Cinder, despite she knew she cannot win, Pyrrha choose to fight on anyway."

"Ultimately Cinder kills Pyrrha by disintegrated her entire body all except for her tiara, Ruby who witness the entire thing unleashes her Silver Eyes which badly damages Cinder the process."

"Wait if Ruby was there?! Then why didn't she help Pyrrha?!" Jaune yelled like she wants to accuse Ruby for not saving Pyrrha.

"Because Ruby injured her leg on her way up to the tower of Beacon, Ruby was powerless to help Pyrrha after that. But her Silver Eyes did badly damage Cinder", Hakaze said and Jaune calms himself.

"Don't make an excuse Ozpin, your secrets only created unnecessary deaths, well your long war against Salem is already finished all thanks to us. Like I said before, Salem maybe immortal but that doesn't mean she's not destroyable", Radec said as he sits down.

"But the way Colonel, why do you Helghast wear Gas Mask?" Ruby ask out of curiosity.

"Most of us cannot breathe air, but some of us it's a just our tradition", Radec answered.

"Yeah very true", Yang commented.

"But enough at that, we are here to liberate Remnant from the new greatest threat which Atlas under the command of General James Ironwood who you all saw as a friend but lost his mind which started after the Fall of Beacon. Now after Salem is approaching Atlas, he has completely lost his mind and you all what happened when you all tried to save everyone in Mantle", Radec talks about what happened before the Helghast came to Remnant.

"That sounds James was the greatest threat in Remnant than Salem", Ozpin commented.

"That's because what James would do is far worse than Salem", Hakaze said to him that James's madness is far worse than Salem.

End

Coming up next, the Helghast takes their allies to a place where Salem went to visit the Brothers of Light and Darkness. Also Ozpin would remember everything that happens there.
