/ Thirty Minutes before the Breach /
*March, March, March*
???: What the?
/ This Atlas Soldier, while keeping a lookout for outsiders hears marching. He heard clanking, he heard yells and cheering.
Even with earplugs on, he still would've heard it.
So In his lookout tower, he grabbed his binoculars and looks on in the direction of the loud marching noises.
Soon after, he dropped his binoculars in shock.
For he saw an army, filled with nothing but Frontline Soldiers, Bow Soldiers, Captains, and Shield Captains alike, each from every faction from Harmony.
Each donning their respective armor, with the colors white and gold yellow as the clothes.
Signifying that this army is apart of the newly made Faction Leader Army.
In front of this army is the Faction Leader himself, with his armor being a rough white, and his sword (made by the Faction Leader Blacksmith as a gift) entirely made of Gold.
Behind him are his Generals.
Holden Cross, The Lawbringer.
Mercy, The Peacekeeper.
And Stone, The Conqueror.
Each with their regular armor except for they have white colored clothing instead.
The Atlas soldier did not see this, but behind the soldiers, are Warriors from every rank of the Army, either it being Recruits or Heroes, all ranked members of the Faction Army were there.
The Atlas soldier acting quickly contacted his superior. /
A.S.: Commander! A-an Army is marching into Vale! I don't know what to do! Send help!
Commander: Quit your Yapping! Tell me, have you seen their weapons?
A.S.: Yeah they hold...swords and axes, mostly shields.
Commander: Hm, that must be them...Let them all pass.
A.S.: Sir?
Commander: I got word from the council that Mistral would send some of their "Huntsman", especially the Huntsman coming towards you. They are apart of that new country called "Harmony", it's a gift from both Mistral and Harmony so it's good for peace talks as they say.
A.S.: I see.
Commander: So let them through. Even with their marching the leader "Clearly" stared that they would not fly into Vale or get on any transportation somewhere.
A.S.: So what exactly are they gonna do with the soldiers?
Commander: There was supposed to be a huge press conference in the town square, something about Professor Ozpin and a "Faction Leader" from Harmony would be attending to officially state What Harmony is and answer any questions.
Plus those warriors would be attending to show Vale and the world to in Ofer to show what Harmonians are.
A.S.: Wow.
Commander: Exactly, now get to work and let those warriors pass.
A.S.: Understood...Huh, wonder what these Harmonians can do.

- Beacon -
/ Before The Breach happened. /
/ Here we see a team of three, a Boy in green,
Lie Ren, the descendant of a hidden Clan.
The girl in pink, Nora Valkyrie, the bruiser of the team.
and a Girl in Bronze with Red hair,
Pyrrha Nikos, the new leader of the once four-man team, Juniper. /
Nora: Can you believe it? We're gonna be deputies! This is gonna be great.
/ Their moment was short lived when Alarms begin to Blare in Vale, which was now blaring in the school behind them. /
Nora: Oh What now?!
Pyrrha: ...Our Mission is changing, everyone on board.
/ Before the team could get on the Bullhead The girl in Bronze stopped the Boy in Green. /
Pyrrha:...Hey Ren, we'll make it out to that village another time.
/ With a nod the two finally got on the Bullhead heading towards their new destination. /
/ As the Bullhead flew off, at Beacon we see another team of three, A girl with Emerald Green
hair,
Emerald Sustrai, The thief of the group.
a Boy with Mercury Colored hair
Mercury Black, The son of a killer, following in his father's footsteps.
Finally a woman,
Cinder Fall, the "Mastermind" of the three, the one who planned the Breach. /
Emerald: You don't think...?
Mercury: Sure looks like it.
Emerald: That's still days away!
Mercury: So? What do we do?
/ Mercury asks towards their boss, all the while Cinder smiles to herself. /
Cinder: There's no worry, even with the plan being ahead of schedule, our new "Friends" should be ready. A quick call should do wonders.
———————————————————–
- Vale. -
/ In Vale itself we see the Kensei and Ozpin walking along a sidewalk with the Kensei's generals, two following behind and two in front of the Leaders.
These Generals are:
Okuma, a Shugoki.
Momiji a Nobushi,
Ayu, a Daimyo who gave her power to the Faction Leader, who is a Kensei.
And the Emperor's Champion, an Orochi who could've been a Faction Leader but he sadly denied it, saying the Emperor's Apprentice would have a better time leading then he.
/
Ozpin: So what exactly do you hope to see here in vale...besides the paparazzi of course.
Kensei: Nothing in particular really Ozpin, I am just here for business, nothing else.
Ozpin: I see, so will you go back to your Country after the Conference?
Kensei: Sadly to say I will be, there are more pressing matters back home, and with our Grimm problem, together. I'm sure the Grimm will fall.
Ozpin: I'm sure it will be...
*Alarms Blaring*
Kensei: What the?!
Ozpin: The Alarms!
/ With a quick look around Ozpin and the Kensei saw smoke rising in the distance. /
Kensei: Ayu! Anata to anata no chīmu o tsukami, sono kemuri ni mukatte kudasai! Watashi wa rikai shite imasu ka?
Ayu: Daijōbu! Anata wa kare ni tsuite kiita. Idō shimashou!
Samurai Generals: Hai!
/ Soon the Four Generals ran towards the smoke, wondering what's causing the commotion. /
Ozpin:...You spoke a different language.
Kensei: Yes I have, it's the Samurai's native tongue. Now quickly, we must follow.
Ozpin: Understood.
/ The two leaders then ran towards the smoke, following the Generals. /
———————————————————–
- Vale -
/ At the location of the Breach we see Team RWBY surrounded by the creatures of Grimm.
All wondering on what they're going to do.
Until a Scream was yelled by the Alpha King Taijitu and the Grimm charged.
As the Grimm charged so did the team.
Ruby herself jumped towards a group, taking out Grimm by using her Scythe to help kick multiple Grimm at once, taking each one out.
Yang jumping high in the sky by using a Grimm, to shoot from up top. Until a flock of Giant Nevermore forced her down, creating a crater.
Blake was slicing and shooting any Grimm she could see
All the while Weiss with elegance was slicing and stabbing Grimm left and right.
Soon enough Ruby was soon cornered by the Alpha King Taijitu until a Huge explosion was heard from a distance.
From the explosion came Nora Valkyrie, riding on her Hammer, really displeased. /
Nora: Rah!
/ Nora yelled when smashing her hammer on the Snake, soon launching off of it by using her Grenade Launcher Hammer combo.
Bringing it down.
Where Nora landed Ren came by, Pyrrha dropped beside them also. /
Pyrrha: Let's move!
/ The three then charged towards the Grimm.
Nora yelling Grimm to die all the while smacking each Grimm away.
Ren was kicking and slicing Grimm,
and Pyrrha was stabbing and killing Grimm with her weapon in Spear mode.
Pyrrha over the Grimm she killed then saw Sun and Neptune in the distance. /
Sun: Nobody move, Junior Detectives!
/ Sun yelled while showing his Junior Detective badge. /
Neptune: We have badges, so you know it's official.
/ Neptune said, also showing his "official badge".
Right after an Atlesian Airship appeared in the sky, with Atlesian Dropships flying in near the breach and surrounding areas where the Grimm ran off.
While looking up at these ships, Ruby was about to be pounced by an Ursa, until it was shot down by a rain of bullets from one of the nearby Dropships.
Up high in the sky, these dropships held robots called an Atlesian Knight-200.
They soon started to jump off of these Ships, soon landing on the ground, shooting anything Grimm.
All looked and seemed fine, that was until another set of Bullheads started to fly in.
Ruby looking at these bullheads with some curiousness, was confused at seeing the Symbol on the carriers for she saw nothing like it.
Out from these Ships started to drop Harmonians, Warriors, and soldiers wearing the colors Orange and Black.
Raider's, Warden's, Kensei's, all kinds of Harmonian Warriors they started to run out of these ships, yelling.../
For War!!
/ Then all hell broke loose. /
———————————————————–
/ These Atlesian Knights, even with their guns, they bounced off of these Black Stone warriors.
Robots were being torn apart, cut in half, no robot was spared.
To the townsfolk, these warriors were scarier than the Grimm, which attracted more Grimm to flood the Breach.
Team RWBY and Juniper seeing first hand these Black Stone warriors appear was tough.
From what RWBY saw, these ironclad warriors were strong and nice, someone that they could've trusted.
That was until these warriors were attacking the teams, "Was it all a lie?" Ruby thought.
Then the battles began.
Being charged at by two Raiders, a Conqueror, and a Gladiator sure knocked some sense into Team RWBY
Blake and Weiss were stuck fighting the Raiders, Yang had the Conqueror, and Ruby was fighting the Gladiator.
No matter how many hits were dealt towards the Conqueror, it was like it was doing nothing towards him. Of course, they would get pushed back but that was the most obvious way of knowing whether they were getting hit or not.
Even with the quick precision strikes, the Raiders held strong and pushed back the two, hoping to tire the two.
As for Ruby, she was having the most trouble, with every slash from her scythe it would bounce off from the small shield, it was as if the Gladiator could expect her moves and block it at the right time.
Even with bullets, they had no effect for the Gladiator would block it with quick reflexes not known to many.
Team Juniper was handling the Warriors no better.
Nora's hammer going against a Shugoki wasn't launching the man far but only pushing him back a few feet, still on the ground.
Ren, even with his reflexes he couldn't slash and dodge well, considering his enemy was a Peacekeeper that he wishes he wasn't fighting all night long.
The one with more progress was Pyrrha against a Warden.
Sadly this Warden knew how to deal with warriors with Valkyrie-like weaponry.
Things were not looking good for the students and Vale.
(A/N: Play Song up top)
That was until a metal hand came out of the ground, this hand belonged to a broken Atlesian Paladin which a Corgi jumped out of, this Corgi being Zwei!
Which killed a Beowolf in the progress.
Which prompted a familiar voice to speak up. /
Abbey: How the Heck did it do that?! Look at it! It's so stubby and cute!
Acer: No matter! let's join in on this fight!
Jeanne: He's right, come on there's no time to waste!
/ Team Chosen joined the game, all the while from a distance, one final bullhead appeared, holding Team CFVY and Professor Peter Port.
A burly old looking man who is known only as "The Grimm Hunter".
(A/N: reminder pictures and art, not mine, credit goes to the original creators.)
Jumping out of the Bullhead team CFVY were on the offensive.
Seeing the "true" danger the Harmonians begin to surround Yatsuhashi, with no fear present Yatsuhashi grabbed his longsword triggering a response to the warriors to charge.
Yatsuhashi then smashed the ground with his weapon, making the area around him fly away either it being concrete or Warriors.
Fox, who was able to slash through the men hard and constant enough that it would push them back then had a plan when an Alpha Ursa was charging at him. Using the bear, he hit it so hard that a noticeable chill went through the Ursa which was launched towards the men exploding. When the Bear did explode, spikes launched out so fast and hard that it was able to puncture the warriors, killing some.
Fox was displeased at this outcome but he knew he had no choice.
Velvet only being able to push back the warriors focused on the Grimm.
Which she was successful in killing.
It seemed as if the Warriors were regrouping and were ready to strike in a more unified and deadlier manner.
That was until a loud cheer was heard not too far away from them. /
For Harmony!!
/ The Faction Leader Army has joined the game, and they were ready to deal with a pain that plagued their once peaceful land once and for all.
Seeing this development, the Black Stone Legion was not afraid and accepted their fate.
So they charged, all towards the Faction Leader Army, with some final words of defiance. /
For War!!
/ Which prompted a response. /
For Harmony!!
/ Then the battle began. /
———————————————————–
/ At a distance from the soon to be declared "Battle of Town Square" by locals, a woman was being chased by Grimm. Two Boarbatusks and two Ursas to be exact.
When crossing a corner of a building more Grimm appeared in front of her, the woman trying to back up realized the Grimm from behind her, trapping the poor girl.
As the Grimm surround her, she believed this was the end, but two Harmonian warriors jumped in front of her.
These warriors being Acer and Jeanne. /
Acer: You ok miss?
/ No response for the Girl was in shock at the Grimm surrounding them. /
Yeah...didn't think so.
Jeanne: Acer, Grab the Woman and let's go.
Acer: On it.
Kamiko: Hey! Creatures of Darkness! One Tasty treat over here!
/ A few feet away were Kamiko and Abbey, being a distraction so the two warriors can save this woman. /
Abbey: This isn't fair, why do they get to be the distraction.
Kamiko: Because they have Aura and are able to jump and get away.
Abbey: That was rhetorical Miko
Kamiko: I'm just saying.
Abbey: Whatever, let's follow the plan.
Kamiko: Hey Flea Bags! The Trash gets picked up tomorrow, better be ready.
/ Kamiko says while readying her katana. /
Abbey: Yeah and you...Suck!
/ Abbey says also readying her weapons. /
Kamiko:...Really?
Abbey: Oh shut it, it's the best I can come up with.
/ A beowolf charged at the Samurai. /
Kamiko: But you're a Viking! Trash talking is your specialty!
*Slash!*
/ Kamiko says while slicing the Beowolf's head off. /
Abbey: Not all Vikings are the same mind you!
/ Abbey says while smacking an Ursa in the head with her shield, eventually stabbing it in the head with her spear. /
Kamiko: I would think so, considering you Vikings attacked my home!
/ Kamiko, slicing a Creep in half. /
Abbey: Well sorry, but we had no choice!
/ Abbey knocking away Grimm with her shield. /
/ From a distance away Acer and Jeanne were watching the exchange.
Jeanne, wondering if their leader didn't do a good of a job, knocking some sense into the two,
and Acer, becoming worried for the amount of Grimm coming towards the two fighting Warriors. /
Acer:...Hey Jeanne...shouldn't we stop them?
Jeanne: As much as I want to say...I say leave them be. As long as their not killing each other it's fine.
Acer: But Jeanne, you remember Leader talking about this before. Trivial matters such as this shouldn't be a big deal Especially since the Grimm appeared and we needed to work together.
Jeanne: I'm aware, but the scars are still fresh it seems. Plus look closer at the two, it appears that this exchange of anger is helping them. Revenge was activated a while ago now look, its almost like it's evolving.
/ As Acer looked, he was able to see that Jeanne was right. The anger and constant attacks from the Grimm were awaking something, the air around the two was shifting and changing. /
Acer: What the heck?
/ As the Grimm started to dwindle down exponentially. Abbey was tired of the constant belittling and approached Kamiko. /
Abbey: How about we prove whose better huh? If your so great you must be better than me right?!
Kamiko: Oh it's on!
/ A DeathStalker was approaching the two arguing Harmonians.
Gaining the attention of Kamiko and Abbey.
With a look towards each other and the DeathStalker, an agreement was in place. /
Abbey: First one to kill that thing Wins!
Kamiko: First one to kill that thing Wins!
Abbey: Jinx!
Kamiko: Jinx!
Abbey: Double Jinx!
Kamiko: Double Jinx!
HHHIISSS
/ The DeathStalker soon lifted its claws, ready to crush the two, that was until the two members of Chosen stopped the Claws with their weapons, and the Grimm was pushed back.
Thinking quick Kamiko jumped on top of the Scorpion and began to slash the legs as quick as she could, jumping and avoiding the Tail trying to stab her.
Abbey was busy dealing with its front, blocking and parrying any attacks sent her way.
Seeing the danger Acer and Jeanne decided to join this fight. /
Acer: Don't worry guys! We're coming to help!
/ But before the two could join, the Viking and Samurai yelled at the two. /
Kamiko: Stay out of this Jeanne!
Abbey: Stay out of this Acer!
/ The two kindly stepped away and dealt with any nearby Grimm. /
———————————————————–
/ At the Breach itself, a Conqueror and an Aramusha were focused on the Grimm while the rest of the Faction army focused on the Black Stone Legion.
After killing a beowolf the Conqueror stops the Aramusha beside him. /
H. Conqueror: Hey Josu!
H. Aramusha: Hm? What is it?
H. Conqueror: Look! Over there! Where that girl with the hat is. I think she's picking a fight with that Wolf.
/ Looking over where the Conqueror was pointing at, he was right. The one in that hat was picking a fight with that huge beast. /
H. Conqueror: Should we help her?
H: Aramusha: I think we should but...wait look!
/ The Girl with the Beret hat then spit on the ground, and said some words that the two Hero ranked warriors could hear. /
Beret Girl: Prepare to die.
/ The Beowolf accepted the challenge which it began to throw a strike. /
H. Conqueror: Oh no! That wolf is going to destroy her! Hurry Josu we must-
/ Then the Girl soon parried the attack, kicking the Beowolf in the jewels, finally knocking it down to the ground. Sending a feeling of hurt towards the two Heroes. /
H. Conqueror: Ooooh!
H. Aramusha: Ah Yikes!
/ While looking at the beast for a second she soon uses her small handbag, sending the beast onto the ground, destroying some concrete. /
H. Conqueror: How heavy even is that thing?!
H. Aramusha: Look! We need to help her! Those Grimm are closing in and-
/ But it was too late as three beowolves got to her and were all knocked away with the small bag the Beret Girl had, as soon as The DeathStalker appeared and missed its tail strike, the girl jumped back right beside a Bunny Girl.
After a quick exchange of words with the Faunus Girl, the Beret Girl was walking towards the DeathStalker. /
H. Aramusha: Alright I think it's time we actually-
H. Conqueror: Look!
/ Doing what his partner said, Josu the Aramusha was surprised at the small bag the girl had soon began to shift and form into a giant Minigun.
With a loud ratta-tat-tat the gun was shooting bullets that were completely destroying the DeathStalker and surrounding Grimm into pieces.
The Beret now Minigun Women soon pointed into the sky where three giant Nevermores were, soon cutting these flying birds into pieces as well.
As the birds soon dropped into the ground the Minigun Women soon walked towards another area to find more Grimm or take down the decreasing Blackstone Legion.
All of the damage left the two warriors speechless. /
H. Conqueror: ...So that's how heavy that bag was...
/ The two warriors soon looked towards the Minigun Women and their weapons, with Granar the Conqueror saying something. /
H. Conqueror: We should get new weapons.
H. Aramusha: I believe we should.
———————————————————–
/ Around the Breach itself, The Kensei was finishing killing another Blackstone Warrior, a Centurion to be exact.
From a distance, he saw a woman with Blonde Hair and Green eyes, and she was not pleased.
This woman was Glynda GoodWitch, headmistress of Beacon Academy and the main factor that caused the Blackstone Legion to surrender.
As Glynda was walking towards the Breach, The Kensei saw two Viking Captains run towards the women, swords raised in order to end her.
Before The Kensei could yell out a warning Glynda without looking launched the two warriors into two different directions using her semblance.
The Kensei was left speechless after this.
Then using her riding crop Glynda GoodWitch soon started to raise the rubble from the ground that littered the area around the Breach.
Many Harmonians saw the levitating rubble (and the rubble was nothing to scoff at either), for they were as large as Cars, maybe even bigger.
Then as if nothing happened the Breach was then sealed back into place, after seeing this, the Blackstone Legion soon looked amongst each other and truly saw their situation.
They were surrounded by the Faction Army, the Huntsman, and Huntsman-in-training who fought the Grimm, the AK-200's, and they started to drop their weapons, one by one until no Black Stone soldier had weapons.
The Battle of Town Square was won.
———————————————————–
/ As the Blackstone warriors were being shipped off So was Roman Torchwick, who was being escorted by none other than Mercury Black, and Emerald Sustrai. /
Torchwick: Oh, I can't believe that you caught me. You've really taught me the error of my ways.
Hey hey, watch the hat!
Teams RWBY, CFVY, (J)NPR, CHSN, the two members of SSSN, the Professors and Ozpin joining the Samurai Faction Leader with his Generals, all gathered around enjoying their hard earned victory.
Then the camaraderie was interrupted by a loud declaration from a certain Warden. /
Warden: Lord Kensei.
Kensei: Lord Warden, I thank you for bringing yourself and your army for I'm sure we never would've won without you.
Warden: That may be so, but the victory goes to the winners of this battle.
Kensei: Lord Warden, I have to ask, it was not your mission to come to remnant, the order was given to simple working Warriors of Harmony.
What brought you to come here yourself with the Faction Leader Army?
Please I give no offense and again, without you, we wouldn't have won this battle.
Warden: Well, let's just say I had a feeling, and that feeling was right.
Kensei: You and your feelings I tell you.
*cough*
/ Ozpin coughed, gaining the attention of both, Glynda GoodWitch stood beside Ozpin. /
Kensei: Ah yes, Lord Warden, I'd like you to meet the Headmaster of Beacon Academy.
Ozpin: So you must be the Knight Faction Leader. My name is Ozpin, I am the headmaster of Beacon Academy
*Ozpin says, going for a handshake.*
Warden:...It's a pleasure.
*The Warden says, shaking Ozpin's hand.*
Glynda: You may call me Glynda GoodWitch, Headmistress of Beacon Academy. We've never properly met.
*A moment of silence was given by the Warden. *
Warden:...So it would seem. I am the Knight Faction Leader as you may know, and you shall call me Lord Warden. Calling me the Knight Faction Leader becomes tiring after all.
Ozpin: It's a pleasure Lord Warden to have you here in Vale.
Warden: Yeah...a pleasure indeed.
/ From behind the Warden came the Lawbringer Holden Cross, one of the Knight Generals. In his regular armor with cloths of white, signifying his affiliation with the Faction Leader Army. /
G. Lawbringer: Lord Warden.
Warden: Yes, General, status report if you will.
G. Lawbringer: It appears that we lost a quarter of our forces to the Blackstone Legion. Mostly being recruits and Team Leaders. The rest were Warriors ranging from Chosen to Champion, and they were killed by Grimm.
Secondly, in order for the Blackstone's to be tried and sent back home, you must speak to the Council and have it become our problem.
Warden: Hm...have there been an exchange with Atlas forces seeping into Harmony Lord Kensei?
Kensei: As of yet, none that I have heard of.
Warden: I see.
Ozpin: I'm afraid to cut in, but may I ask of wanting criminals already caught.
Warden: Well Ozpin, the reasons are that we have a law passed in Harmony, and these Blackstone warriors are to be tried...then executed.
Glynda: Wait, Execution?! Surely you have to be joking, those Blackstones may have killed people but they were caught!
Warden: That may be so, but as you said. They killed people, and in Harmony, If one kills a person, the person himself shall pay the loss of life with their own.
???: W-w-What?!
/ A few feet away a certain Red Reaper exclaimed her thoughts. /
———————————————————–
Ruby: You...You Murder Criminals?!
/ Ruby exclaims to the Knight Faction Leader. All the while walking towards him. /
Lord Warden: ...Murder is a strong word, we at Harmony simply execute those who have done wrong. Of course, we don't execute people because of thievery,
But those who have killed and done an act of terrorism such as this, we must set an example and execute them.
Glynda: But that's wrong! Even with the atrocities they did, the Blackstones were already caught!
Warden: And? They killed people, actually, before they came to remnant, they killed people in Harmony, that Clan, Killed people in Harmony. We have no choice.
Glynda: Who do you think you are?!
Ozpin: Glynda!
Glynda:...
Ozpin: That is enough, Harmony's Laws are different then Vale's and we must respect that. Am I Understood?
Glynda:...Crystal.
Lord Warden: Hmph, I may have laws such as that, but we are not monsters.
Thievery, among other petty crimes, are dealt with reasonably.
The ones who ask for death are the Blackstone, and killers themselves.
Ruby: ...Why?
Lord Warden: ...We as Harmony has had trouble with The Blackstone Legion.
And I won't let them get away with what they're done.
Even with her dead, Apollyon's ideas are still strong.
Ozpin: Apollyon?
Glynda: Apollyon! Did you say Apollyon?!
Lord Warden:...I did yes, Why's that?
Glynda: Because Apollyon went missing months ago on a mission.
/ The Harmonians then surrounded the Headmaster and Headmistress, weapons at the ready. /
Warden: I suggest you explain.
Immediately.
———————————————————–
(A/N: Let's leave that there for a bit. Sorry for a late update. Was busy and had writer's block. Will try to get back into the groove sooner or later.
Wonder what's going to happen now?
And what do they have with Apollyon?
Until Next time.
*Expect the true end of the Arc in the coming weekend.
If I'm not busy.*
Remember to comment, I would love to see what others think of the story so far. )
