"Where are you really from?"

Blake's question took over Hartmann's head as the Former narrowed at him, demanding an answer right now. Months of hiding his true identity had led to this, all because he mistaken them as Americans when he was hallucinating. He thought his true identity would remain a secret to the outside world of remnant, but maybe he was just so naïve.

Letting out a sigh, he answered. "Okay. Truth is, I'm not from here."

"Well if you're not from Vacuo, and not in Vale, nor even in the rest of the two kingdoms. Where in remnant are you from?" Weiss stepped in, standing beside Blake.

"That is the thing, i'm not from Remnant. I am actually...from another world."

The group all exchange looks to each other in utter disbelief. "You're fucking with us, right?" Yang asked.

Hartmann shook his head. "No, i am from another world. And it is called Earth."

"Earth? Like the Earth of the ground?" Sun asked. Hartmann just shrugged. "That's the name of your world? Sounds silly, don't you think?" Sun received an elbow to the side by Ruby, the latter glaring at him.

She then turned to Hartmann. "If you are from this 'Earth', then what was that language you were shouting at us?"

"German, that's what it is called. It's also a nationality. I'm from a nation that my enemies called it Germany, but my people and i call it Deutschland."

"Wait, enemies?" Weiss raised her eyebrow. "Were you in a war back there?"

'Scheisse.' Hartmann muttered a swear when he accidentally mentioned the enemy faction. He can't do nothing but nodding at her. "Yes. I was in a war, part of it actually."

Hartmann can see that the group had mixed thoughts. Ruby was surprised when he mentioned that he was part of a war in his world, like a real war. Weiss was thinking about the name 'Deutschland' which sounded a bit similar with the name of her family.

Yang was as confused as her teammates. The thought of people arriving from their world to another one reminds her of some novels she used to read, which she now find them un-interesting due to how repetitive it was.

Meanwhile, Blake focused more on the 'War'' part. Thinking of what kind of war was it about. Was it about racism and discrimination just like the Faunus revolution? Or was it about Glory and the like? Either way, Hartmann was part of it, and she needs to know.

"Tell us more about the War in this Earth world of yours." Blake demanded.

"I believe you have asked enough questions, miss Belladonna." A familiar voice said just when Hartmann was about to respond. Him and the rest of the group turned to where Glynda was standing behind them.

"Professor Goodwitch!" Ruby exclaimed, almost bowing from her presence. "What brings you here?"

"I came here for him." Glynda turned to Hartmann, the latter quickly standing up. He could see in her eyes that she wasn't happy, implying that he might be trouble. Glynda walk towards the nervous specialist. "Ozpin and i would like to have a word you back in Beacon. In private." Hartmann gulped but nodded after.

Glynda then turned to the girls. "The rest of you are ordered to return to the academy, aswell. The last thing I need is more unnecessary attention from this mess."

"But-" Blake tried to protest but she was stopped by Weiss, shaking her head. The Faunus let out a sigh before nodding. "Of course, professor."

"I'll see you there." Glynda gestured at Hartmann to follow her. He obliges and walked with her back to Beacon.

Hartmann took a glance at the woman, seeing her frowning as they kept walking. "Am i in trouble?" He asked in a fearful tone, afraid of what Glynda's gonna do to him.

"Oh you think?!" Glynda exclaimed before she grab a hold of one of his ears and pinched it. Hartmann let out a shriek of pain as both of them kept walking until they were out of the docks.

Ruby and the gang stood there for a moment, before the former's sister spoke. "Well, we gotta do what she says." Implying that Glynda ordered them to go back to the academy, they all oblige.

"Yeah, this was a nice stakeout, I guess..." Sun trailed off a bit, remembering the dead bodies he witnessed. He said his goodbye to Blake and the rest before sprinting away, possibly back to his teammates.

Team RWBY then packed up and head back to the school. Though questions still cloud up their minds, all asking about Hartmann and his Earth world. A world that may possibly be different than theirs.

As they were leaving the docks, a sudden realization hit Ruby as she looked around. "Hey, have you seen Penny?"

Elsewhere

Inside a black limo, Penny was sitting at the passenger seat, looking at her friends the entire time as they went their separate ways. She stared sadly as she wanted to be there, but she was ordered to go back by her superior ASAP.

"Did you have a pleasant day, Penny?" asks her Driver.

She nodded. "Yes, sir."

"Though you should know better than to go running around and meeting strangers that will cause us trouble."

Penny lowered her head in shame. "I know, sir..."

The driver started the limo as they drove away from the docks. "Penny, your time will come."

BREAKING NEWS

"This just in. An attempted robbery had occurred by the northern docks. It appears that the criminal mastermind; Roman Torchwick along with a platoon of white fang members were stealing the dust by the containers." Cyril spoke as a picture of the aftermath of the fight at the docks was shown at the screen. Then another picture popped up, with the image of four people. That being Ruby, Blake, Sun, and Hartmann.

Lisa lavender then continued. "The robbery was stopped by these four huntsmen. Two of which are part of Beacon, the Monkey Faunus being the representative of Mistral, and the last one being Beacon's new fourth specialist. It also reported that another mysterious figure was part of the fighting, but we couldn't figure out who they were. Nonetheless, the robbery was stopped and the criminals were arrested, but Roman Torchwick had escaped yet again.

"And that's not all." Cyril spoked. "A shocking reveal that 14 of the white fang robbers were found dead in the scene. The VPD questioned the huntsmen if they were responsible for the killing, which they said yes."

"But not on purpose." Lisa defended. "The black bow huntress told the VPD that they had killed those robbers in self-defense as they had no other choice. Apparently the robbers were that desperate as they kept on fighting without their aura on."

"Regardless if it's true or not, the VPD are doing whatever they can to-"

The screen was shut off as it was revealed that professor Ozpin was watching the news on his scroll. When he was checking the cameras in the city, he turned to the one at the northern docks seeing that it was compromised by the white fang. He was in relief when two of his huntsmen fought them off, with the extension of some monkey boy. But his eyes wided when Hartmann was part of that fight.

Ozpin exhaled, knowing the fact that Hartman got himself exposed to the news. Worst of all that he had resorted on killing. He hoped Blake's response on self-defense won't ruin their reputation.

Nonetheless, the specialist needed to return ASAP.

He had contacted Glynda to get him back to the school before he causes more unwanted attention. Minutes later, he got a notification from his messages, positive to himself that it's Glynda contacting him.

"I got Hartmann with me, and we're close to the school. I am taking him straight to his room, so meet us there." The message says.

Ozpin texted back that he'll be on the way, then he let out a sigh. Knowing Glynda, when she and Hartmann arrive back, she'll scold him like if she was his mother. Regardless, Ozpin got up from his desk and exit his office.

Hartmann's room

"Do you have any idea how much trouble you have caused?"

Ozpin, Glynda and Hartmann were all gathered in the latter's room. Like what the headmaster expected, Glynda started scolding the boy for his troubles back at the docks. Hartmann sat down by one of the chairs, regretting the actions he did.

He slowly look up to Glynda, the latter staring at the boy in an angry manner, while Ozpin stared at him with disappointment. Hartmann felt more regret that he had upset the two.

"I'm sorry." was all he could say.

"Sorry is not gonna cut it for what you did." Glynda sternly said. "You really should keep your weapon in check before you use it on a human being."

"I-i did, but then two of them used something against me." Before Hartmann was going to explain further, Ozpin stepped in.

"Well we will deal with that later. Before that we're going to ask the important question here. " Ozpin said, turning to Glynda for a moment. "Glynda told me you were talking to team RWBY about your true self. Was it true?"

Hartmann knew he was talking about where he exposed his secret to the girls, and also that monkey boy - but mostly the girls. The headmaster and the staff of the school were the only ones that know about his true self and Ozpin could not afford of mentioning it to all the other students of it. Hartmann tried to kept it, but yet he screwed up.

He then nodded. "I did. I told them about myself and about Earth."

"How..much."

Hartmann inhaled. "I told them about my country...and the war."

"Why did you tell them about that!?" Glynda exclaimed, stepping forward. Causing Hartmann to lean back, albeit frightened from her tone. "You do realize that will raise more questions?"

"T-They were pressuring me! I don't know what else to do!"

Ozpin, feeling a bit of pity for the boy, put an arm infront of his assistant, trying to ease her down. "Glynda, please. No need to pressure him like what the girls did."

"But Ozpin, he just told them his secrets that we and the staff agreed to keep it for ourselves and not expose it to our students." Glynda defiantly said. "Team RWBY now knew some of it, and i am afraid they might tell the others which will cause a domino effect."

"Well then, we should call them." Ozpin insisted.

"What are you saying?" Glynda raised her eyebrow.

"If we don't want the information to spread throughout the school, then we should insist team RWBY to keep it a secret just like us and the staff."

"I guess that's a good idea." Hartmann agreed.

Glynda however felt hesitant. "I don't know about this, Professor."

"It's the only way." Ozpin adamantly said. "Call them."

Glynda inhaled before nodding and went to her scroll. When Glynda was going to call the team, a knock was heard on the door. Hartmann stood up to answer it, but the blonde professor told him to stay put and let her answer instead.

Before answering the door, she thought it was team RWBY, which was odd of how they were able to get here when she was about to call them. But when she opened the door, it wasn't team RWBY. Infact, it was the 2nd year students - team CFVY.

Coco immediately asked. "Where's Hartmann?"

"He's in here, but-" Glynda was cut off when Coco and her team barged into the room, not bothering to look around since this was their first time entering it. They went straight to the boy.

"Hartmann!" Coco exclaimed, before exhaling in relief. "I'm glad you look okay."

"Woah there. What is going on?" Hartmann asked.

"We saw you on the news just now." Yatsuhashi answered, bringing up a scroll showing the live VNN Live feed of the incident as it has the pictures of the involved Huntsman, which includes him. "We thought you've gotten pretty hurt dealing with all of those white fang members."

Fox let out a snicker. "You wouldn't believe how worried Velvet was, though." He could feel a glare coming from the bunny before she gave him a light punch to the shoulder.

"I was just worried he'll end up killed by those extremists, okay?" She exclaimed.

"Guys, it's fine. I was not hurt that badly. Just a few scratches that is all." Hartmann assured.

"Mr. Hartmann is right." Ozpin replied. "But you four should leave, now. We are still having a private conversation."

Velvet turned to the headmaster. "Okay, but may i ask you a question?"

"Um...go ahead." He insisted.

"What were you saying about keeping Hartmann's secret to yourself and not expose it to the school?"

Ozpin, Glynda, and Hartmann were taken aback from the question, which then the trio exchange nervous looks at each other. "Uh, how did you..." Glynda spoke out before Velvet continued, gesturing to her ears

"I'm a bunny Faunus, remember? Good sense of hearing." Her expression then turned serious. " And yes, I heard the entire conversation as we were making our way here. You guys also said something about calling Team RWBY here, and you thought off insisting them to keep this secret."

"If she's right, then what the hell is going on here? What are you hiding from us, Hartmann?" Coco joined in as she and her team are now concerned and feeling suspicious to there teachers and friend. This made Hartmann feel more nervous now. He glanced to the two professors for any assistance.

Glynda tried to ease this out. "Please, this is none of your concerns."

"Oh it's our concerns, alright. We've been friends with Hartmann and gotten close with him for the past months." Coco defiantly said. "If keeping this secret bothers him that much, then let us know about it so we can work this out." The girl then turned to the German. "Hartmann, please tell us what is going on?"

"Well, I-" He was stopped by Ozpin, who put a hand on his shoulder while still had his eyes fixed at CFVY.

He let out an exhale. "Ok. We will tell you. But first, we still need to contact team RWBY." Ozpin turned to Glynda, which she nodded and went to her scroll. She finds Weiss' contact, which was the only person in team RWBY that she had in her contacts, since the heiress wants to up her grades well.

She waited for a moment, before Weiss answered the call. "Hello?"

"Ms. Schnee, i need you and your team to gather in Hartmann's dorm, here. Right now."

"Yes, professor." Glynda ended the call as now all they have to do is wait for team RWBY to show up.

When minutes have passed, they heard a knock on the door. Glynda wondered what took them that long, but was mostly glad they finally showed up. She opened the door as Ruby walked in with her team as expected.

However what she did not expect when Jaune walked in the room along with his team. "Excuse us." He said as he entered. Hartmann, Ozpin and CFVY were also surprised when JNPR was here.

"Hey, Hartmann! Man you sure kick those white fang asses!" Nora said.

"Nora, we don't want to get off-topic here." Ren sternly said.

"Oh sorry." Nora then comments of how nice his room is, making Ren to sigh. Though he admit that Hartmann's room is pretty large and spacious for a single individual. He is a specialist after all.

That goes the same for the rest of team RWBY, excluding the Heiress. His room was larger compare to theirs.

Glynda was having none of this commotion as she turned to Weiss. "Weiss, what is the meaning of this!?" She asked, angrily.

"I'm sorry, Professor Goodwitch. As you were calling me, we had a conversation with JNPR." Weiss inhaled. "We...told them everything we know about what Hartmann told us back at the docks."

"We almost didn't believe what they said, but since Hartmann was being genuine - it concerns us." Pyrrha followed. "And we want to know more." The rest of JNPR nodded in agreement.

Glynda tried to protest, but ended up sighing in defeat. "Fine, i guess twelve people is more than enough." She then walk over to Hartmann and Ozpin.

"Since all of us are here, maybe now you can finally tell us of this secret regarding Hartmann." Velvet said as her team and the first years all turned to their two professors.

Ozpin was going to answer, before Hartmann stopped him. "I think, i should explain this first." He said. This was about him anyway, might as well let him begin.

"Very well." Ozpin nodded.

The German turned to all of his friends, now all were curious about his true self. Five months of hiding it and it comes to this moment. He may not like it, and the others might find it hard to believe, but there was no other way.

He let out a sigh as he confessed. "Okay, it's time i finally tell you all about my true self."

______________________________

An hour later

Hartmann had told them everything. He told them all his true origins that he wasn't in remnant, and that he is not Vacuan, but a German that is from a different world called Earth. He told them that his world was almost like Remnant, with having Humans and all. But the difference is that Earth has more continents, more nations and a lot more people.

And unlike Remnant, Earth doesn't have any Grimm nor even Faunus, while also being technologically unadvanced than all of the tech he had saw during his time in this world. Specifically Atlas, they're pretty advanced.

Thoughts came from the group, thinking that his world may be a lot more peaceful and safe because of the lack of Grimm activity. Most of them agreed, but that was until Weiss bring back the thought that his world was suffering from a war, a war that Hartmann was part of.

This is when it gets interesting.

After he mentioned that he is from Deutschland, or in this case; Germany, he told them that his nation were at war with their foes, yet again in a world war. Ozpin and Glynda assisted him to take over for a minute or two. The three teams find themselves shocked after they mentioned that the first world war in Earth suffered about 10x the casualties than the ones in the great war from Remnant. If Hartmann remembered, the second world war may have caused even greater casualties than the ones in the first world war.

And in those both world wars, his nation was on the losing side. Germany lost during the first world war, and that was one the major cause of the second world war to happen. Vengeance played the role in the nation. Because of what their enemies did from the treaty, the Germans wanted payback. Mostly from the current leader of Deutschland.

When his nation declared war, it went well for them. But years passed, their enemies were just stronger. Thus, Germany is losing the war, eventually would end up like the German empire. Hartmann even thought that the nation had already surrendered when he was in Remnant for five months.

When that was aside, Hartmann told the group of his role during the war. He was actually forced to fight, like every other young Germans when the enemies breached to their borders. He was assigned to a tank crew in, what he thinks, the strongest tank that the nation has ever built. The Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf or in short, Tiger.

The group asked him of what a tank is, in which he was surprised that the nations..er, Kingdoms of Remnant didn't even thought of making Tanks. He explained it best that a Tank is a big armored vehicle with a cannon that rides on tracks. Nora then thought that it might be just like an armored vehicle but with bigger guns that is like hers.

But back on the topic, he was assigned to a tank crew in the Tiger, in which he grew fond to some of them. He remembers that two of the members; the driver and the commander - were veterans of the tank, and he along with another young german were the rookies. Though when he said he grew fond of them, it excludes the other rookie with him.

He was really patriotic and showed little to no care to the enemies.

Hartmann then told them of how frightened he was when they were deployed. He wasn't trained to fight in a war, and watching all the men die at their hands disgusted him. The last time he saw the crew is when the commander tasked him to scout for any enemies near their position, which he obliged.

But when he got out of the safety of the tank, he felt scared and paranoid around his surroundings, frighten that he'll get picked off. So, he ditched them and ran away, which then he would be mysteriously transported into this world.

This is when Glynda and Ozpin found him. They explained how they found him wandering about in the forest near the school. He already told them his life story, which the headmaster decides to take him in and make him a huntsman. Though his reason for it was unknown, even for Glynda and Hartmann themselves, but it's best they keep it to himself.

"So yeah. That is my origin." Hartmann finished. When he finished, the reactions from the three teams were as they expected. They didn't know how their friend, who is an otherworlder, had a very rough situation back in his homeworld. They even felt pity, which includes Blake. She felt a small guilt inside of her when she demanded him answers back at the docks.

In Hartmann's mind, he feared the thought that they would avoid him after this. To them, he was completely Alien from their world, and remembering about the stories he used to read back on earth, Aliens with the Natives do not get along. Would the same thing happen to him?

"So you all knew about this?" Jaune spoke up, questioning to the professors. "And you didn't tell us?"

"Yes, but we did what was right for all of you, and for Hartmann. That's why we told him to not tell this to anyone. " Ozpin replied.

"But that isn't right. You can't just keep something a secret between us and our friend." Hartmann seemed surprised from Ruby's remark.

"Yeah, i agree with the kid." Coco followed. "It doesn't matter if he is from another world or not, he's our friend and me and my team are willing to help." The others agreed aswell, surprising Hartmann even more.

"Do you really mean that?" Hartmann asked.

"Well, duh!" Nora exclaimed. "You're a very nice guy to us."

"And besides, you had a rough life back in your world, right?" Weiss said, stepping in.

"Well...you could say that, i guess."

"Then since your here now, you can make a better one with us."

Hartmann was speechless of how accepting they were. They didn't bother if he was a person from another world that is war-torned and from a totalitarian regime. And now here they were, wanting Hartmann to have a better life in this world with their help.

He gave them a warm smile. "Danke. That's 'Thank you', by the way." The students smiled in return as the two professor stayed silent to not interrupt this moment.

However it was interrupted when they heard murmurs coming from the door. Yang, being closer to it, stick her ear to the door to hear the murmuring voices. She frowned when she recognized those voices and went to the doorknob.

She then pull the door with such force which was followed by four figures dropping to the ground. All the occupants stared at the figures, most of them begin to frown when they see their faces. It was CRDL.

The team let out a series of groans from the fall. They then look up to see everyone staring at them with frowns or confused looks. Realizing they've been caught, they froze for a good three seconds before Cardin spoke. "Uh, Evening." He and his team let out nervous laughs after.

Glynda walk over to them, still frowning. "How much did you hear?"

"W-Well...everything." Russel hesitantly answered.

______________________________

Since CRDL heard everything from start to finish, that makes it an extra four people to keep this a secret, much to the displeasure from Ozpin and Glynda. The latter didn't trust them that well and even threatened them that if they expose a bit of it, she'll throw them out of the school.

Cardin and the team immediately oblige and promised that they won't do such a thing.

After that, Hartmann was questioned by Blake on why did he had to kill the white fang members back at the docks. 

He said that he didn't mean to do it and told that he was struck by a grenade. He told them the details as Ozpin knew that it was one of those hallucination grenades.

Now they understand why he killed them, because he was hallucinating that the white fang were his enemies back in his world. Hearing that he didn't mean to kill him, Blake apologized for the misunderstanding, though she was still bitter seeing her former allies get killed.

When it was getting late, all the teams were ordered to go back to their dorms. The teams said their goodbyes to Hartmann, though some stuck around for a few minutes, one of them being Weiss.

She asked Hartmann about the language of his nation and reminded him what did he say to her when they were in the city, yesterday. If she wasn't wrong, it was Miststück or something. She was smiling thinking that it might be a compliment.

Much to Hartmann's nervousness, however - He clarified the word that it meant 'Bitch', then her smile faded. "What?!" She exclaimed with a frown and a slight blush. Hartmann quickly said that he didn't mean to and was sorry. Weiss sighs and lets it go, though she then pinched his arm as payback for calling her a bitch back there.

Minutes later, all that was left in the room was him, and the two professors. All three of them were in relief that it's over, but it leaves to the mercy of those sixteen students to keep it a secret. It had to be done of course.

"I guess that is that." Ozpin said.

"Seems so, however i still don't think if this is a good idea." Glynda skeptically replied.

"Well i trust them and i know they can do it, for my sake." Hartmann assured.

Ozpin give him a shrug. "If you say so. It's getting late now, and you should probably get some rest. Take care." The headmaster exit the room, but Glynda was still inside with him.

"Um, miss Goodwitch, aren't you suppose to leave aswell?" He asked.

"I'm about to, but i just want to apologize." She said.

"For what?"

"For being very angry at you an hour ago. I don't know what i was thinking, and sorry for pressuring you." When she re-heard his origin story again, she couldn't help but feel bad and that she forgot how the boy went through in his homeworld. "Can you forgive me?"

"It's okay, Professor. You didn't mean it. You were just being your usual strict self" He said, assuringly.

"It doesn't feel like i was being strict. It felt like i was genuinely mad at you and scolded you. Like a..."

"Like a mother?" Glynda was surprised for a moment when he guessed it right. It got her thinking that after all this time, Hartmann views her not as a teacher/mentor of him, but also a mother-figure aswell.

All those months, Glynda was denying the fact that she is a mother figure to the boy, even Peach was pressuring her that it is alright to be one. But now that Hartmann thought of it, she slowly accepts it.

She then smiled. "Yeah, like a mother." The professor then pulled the boy in for a hug. He was taken aback for a moment, but soon gave in. After about a few seconds, they broke off.

"I'm gonna go now, and you should rest like what Ozpin said." Glynda instructed.

"Ok, mother." He joked, causing both of them to let out slight laughs.

Glynda then turned serious. "Seriously, please don't call me that." She said as Hartmann apologized after.

After Glynda left the room, Hartmann was alone. He felt relaxed now after he finally told his friends the truth about himself, maybe keeping it a secret for months can be frustrating. Nevertheless, he went to the bed and rest - thinking that he truly now have his new life in this world.

______________________________

Ozpin made his way back to the office. He sat down on his chair, while checking on his scroll. He then saw a message from a person named 'Qrow'.

"Queen has pawns." The message said.

The headmaster replied to the message, before exhaling and slouching down. He think back from the conversation back in Hartmann's room. He had to bear the responsibility to those 16 students to keep Hartmann's origin a secret to the entire school and the outside world. Sixteen was a lot to take in, but hopefully they'll do just fine.

A male voice then spoke in his mind. "That certainly went well."

Ozpin nodded in agreement with the voice. "It's the least we could do, though i hope that was enough information."

"We should not let them know of the boy's purpose. We had spent years getting him here and in those recurring years we failed to do so, but now we were successful and this is our chance."

"Are you sure we should not tell him about it?" Ozpin asked, referring about Hartmann.

"Not now. It'll be too much for him to take. Remember, we keep this to ourselves, which means not telling it to your subordinates aswell." Ozpin nodded before staring blankly down on his desk since he was swimming in his thoughts. Though the voice in his head knew what he was thinking.

"You're thinking of those three other souls aren't you?" The voice asked.

Ozpin let out a sigh before checking the holographic world map of Remnant as it was showing three blinking marks. One in Western Sanus, one in Solitas, and the final one in Anima - near mistral. Those marks imply the three unfortunate souls that were transported from the same world Hartmann was in. Each year, one of them had arrived to the world of Remnant accidentally.

"They were not meant to arrive in this place." Ozpin said. "Those poor souls have no idea what they're facing. I even think they had their lives taken away from their world by us, just because we were trying to get him here. I just hoped to myself that they're alright."

The voice replied. "Whoever they are does not matter to us. What matters is the other one that had arrived to this world - the same day Hartmann did."

Ozpin remembered about the other one. He knew he did not send two people at a time in the same year, which mean that whoever transported the other one into this world - must be from the work of Her.

"You are right. Let's just hope they won't be a major obstacle to our path."

Elsewhere in Vale

After escaping from the docks, Roman arrived to a large warehouse with a shadowy interior. He goes over to a table and place down his cane and hat. He briefly look to his scroll to see the news of the incident at the docks.

Roman gritted his teeth in anger and frustration, banging the table with his clutched fist.

Four bullheads and about 50 men to steal all those dust containers were all stopped by Red and her pesky friends. If they did not intervene, the operation could've been a success. He kept focused on the thought, not hearing footsteps that was approaching him from behind.

"Uh, Roman..." It was the hooded man. Before he was going to continue, Roman spoke out.

"What is it now, Andre?" He shouted, mentioning the hooded man's name while turning to him. "Can't you tell that i had a rough night just now!? The operation was a fail. I didn't manage to get the dust and almost all of my men were caught by the damn fuzz. A dozen and more even found dead!" Roman let out a tired sigh, before he continued, "Whatever you're here for, i hope it's not something to waste my time!"

"How very disappointing, Roman." A voice spoke out from the shadows, alerting Roman.

"She's here to see you." Andre said. Roman didn't have to think twice on who it is. He knew that voice.

A familiar figure walked out of the shadows, revealing the woman with the red dress. She walk towards Roman, gently shoving Andre aside, much to his displeasure.

"Oh..it's you." Roman said to her. "I wasn't expecting to see you here early. How's the bandage?" He could see that the woman had a small band-aid wrapped around the left palm of her hand. It was when he first met that pesky girl and that friend of hers, the latter responsible for shooting the woman's hand.

"It's doing fine." She replied. "Though i was expecting more from you, Roman." She noticed that Roman had came back empty handed. Not even a dust container in sight.

"Look, the plan just went south, okay? And you were the ones who suggested working with those stupid mutts from the white fang." He retorted.

She chuckled darkly. "And you will continue to do so." She summons a fireball on the other hand, lighting up parts of the shadowy interior. Then two more figures appeared behind her. One was a mint-green haired young woman with medium-brown skin and dark red eyes. The other was a pale young man with gray hair and gray eyes.

"We have big plans for you, Roman. All we ask is...a little cooperation." The woman smirked.

END OF VOLUME 1

NEXT TIME ON RWBFV...

Scene begins at Beacon academy and Vale

A few foreign airships flew by the city and the academy. They were atlesian. The people were confused why the Atlesians were here, and some of the VDF personnel weren't happy about it.

"We are in a time of peace. Shows of power like this are just going to give off the wrong impression." Ozpin's voice said.

Richard Marlowe looks over to the airships with an angry look on his face. "The fuck are they doing here?"

Scene changes to Ozpin's office

It then shows a man with a white uniform standing infront of Ozpin and Glynda. "You honestly believe that your children can win a war?" He said.

"I hope they never have to." Ozpin replied.

Scene change to the courtyard

"So you're gonna be away for a while?" Hartmann asked to Coco. She and her team are in a bullhead when they were tasked on a mission that is outside to the borders of Vale.

"Yeah, but don't worry. We'll do just fine." Coco assured.

"Good luck then." Hartmann and Coco share a handshake before parting ways.

Scene change to a book store

A standoff was happening between a Faunus by a counter against the green-haired girl, the silver-haired boy, and the hooded man. "Your brothers in the white fang won't be happy to hear about your actions, and neither are we."

The hooded man then loads his pistol as a shot occured.

Scene changes to RWBY's room

Teams RWBY and JNPR were in the room, discussing something.

"Roman torchwick is out there planning his next move and none of us know what it is, but it's coming." said Blake

"Then whatever his plan is, we should stop him." Pyrrha said.

Scene changes to the warehouse

"Have a little faith." said the red-dressed woman, gently place a hand on Roman's cheek, much to his displeasure. "You'll know what you need when you need to know."

Scene change to Vale.

A squad of VDF soldiers were harassing some nearby Atlesian expeditionary troops patrolling the city.

"You think you're better than us, huh?" said one of the VDF soldier as he shoved one of the Atlesians.

"The fuck's your problem?" The Atlesian retorted.

Scene change to an alleyway

Hartmann, Jaune, and Nora were checking out the interior of a large long box. When they saw what is inside, Hartmann and Nora let out whistles seeing the object, while Jaune stares at it dumbfoundedly.

The German then spoke. "If Coco was here, she would love this thing."

Scene change to nighttime outside of the CCT Tower.

Cinder was wearing black clothing and a mask that was covering her eyes. He look over to the hooded man, wearing the same attire she always see as he was loading his PPSH 41 and his silenced P08.

"Remember, no loud sounds." Cinder reminded.

"I know, i know. No need to remind me a few times." He said, albeit annoyed. Both of them begin to move in to the tower.

Scene change in Hartmann's room

"If we have to cover more ground, then all of us will split into groups." Jaune's voice said as Hartmann is seen looking at his FG-42, holding it in determination.

"Hopefully we'll stop Roman once and for all" said Ruby's voice followed by Hartmann loading the mag and cocking the bolt of the gun, prepared. He then holds an iron cross that he found in the box.

"And we will." Hartmann said.

RWBFV Volume 2: BIRTH OF THE CROSS

Coming soon...

_______________

And that is Volume 1 of RWBFV. I could not believe myself that i managed to complete it after about a year or two. Thank you to those that stayed into this rollercoaster of a story or whatever.

Since it's Volume 1, this means that more will come in the future. Though it would take possibly a long time to complete the whole series. But i wish to myself that whatever happens, i'll stay dedicated to complete this fanfic series whatever it takes. 


Just to remind you, that Volume 2 will be separated and not combined here with volume 1.

I hope you all enjoyed the final chapter of this book, please leave a vote and a comment for your thoughts.

Though i apologize if there's a lot of grammatical errors or things that didn't make any sense. I was having a hard time thinking of the dialogue for it, and i guess i was in a bit of rush on some of the making. I think i do need a beta reader or something.

And you know what i realized? I haven't given JNPR their needed screentime since they got overshadowed by RWBY and CFVY. I'll fix it for Volume 2.

But anyways, thank you all for reading this book and I will see you in the next Volume!
