Y/n POV

I was falling, and falling, and falling. It felt like I was falling for hours, but that's impossible, I should've reached the ground by now. I cracked one of my eyes open, expecting to see the bursts of blinding light from Flak shells...that's not what I saw. It was light outside, and I flinched when I opened my eyes fully, adjusting to the sudden shift in light. I was falling towards a forest, the lush green trees swaying gently in the breeze. I heard another sound, sounds of yelling and I looked up to see various people flying towards me, landing in various spots in the forest. I fell into the forest, my parachute getting snagged on a tree and holding me above the forest floor.

I came back to my senses, releasing myself from my chute and falling onto the ground with a grunt. The fall knocked the wind out of me, and I spent a minute or two adjusting myself to my surrounding and grabbing my gear. I heard growls in the tree-line and shouldered my Thompson, my eyes widening as some beast that looked like it crawled from the pits of hell attacked me.

I fired a burst of shots at the damned thing but they did jack-diggity-shit, the hell hound grabbing me and pinning me. I thought all was lost and prayed for a savior, and it came as after a loud bang, the beast fell off of me, dead. I looked up to see a girl in a red cape and a girl with white hair standing before me, their weapons were unlike anything I'd ever seen.

I scrambled to my feet and raised my hands, "Allied! Allied! Don't shoot!" I say quickly, praying that they understood English. The girl in the cape giggled, trotting over and shaking my hand, much to my surprise.

Ruby POV

I shot the Beowolf that was attacking the Huntsman on the ground, quickly turning Crescent Rose back to it's scythe form. The Huntsman quickly got to his feet and raised his hands, saying he was our ally and not to shoot. I was just excited to have him on the team with Weiss and I, so I eagerly shook his hand. "It's nice to meet you, I'm Ruby and that's Weiss!" I say, motioning to the ice queen behind me. The Huntsman introduced himself as Corporal Y/n L/n of the U.S 101st Airborne, weird name if you ask me. Weiss simply scoffed and kept walking, not wanting to be left behind I quickly followed her. The Huntsman I helped quickly gathered his things and followed us, glancing around. "So...where are we? Somewhere in France? Britain? Germany?" Y/n asked, keeping a firm grip on his weapon. Weiss looked back at him, "France? Germany? We're in Vale, you dolt." She said with a scoff, turning back to look ahead. Y/n rubbed the side of his head with a sigh, "Vale...alright. Is Vale allied with the U.S?" He asked, Weiss shaking her head. "I don't know where this 'U.S' is, but it isn't here. This is Remnant. There's Atlas, Mistral, Vacuo, and Vale." Weiss stated, continuing to walk.

I hung back a bit to walk alongside Y/n, checking to see if he was alright. "You okay, Y/n?" I ask, putting my hand on his shoulder. Y/n nodded with a soft sigh, glancing at me. "Yeah. I guess I'm stuck here for the time being. Hope the landings wasn't pushed back..." He says, a fearful look in his eyes as he gulped. "Landings? What landings?" I ask, tilting my head curiously. Y/n looked at me as we walked, "The Normandy landings...D-Day...hope we got a foothold." He says, gripping his weapon. I smiled and patted his shoulder, "I'm sure whatever it is, it was successful. For now, let's focus on getting outta this forest!" I say reassuringly, Y/n nodding with a small smile. "Alright, Ruby." He says before we ran to catch up with Weiss.

Y/N POV

As I walked with Ruby and Weiss I felt as if we were being watched, stopping the two as I listened for sounds of movement. Within a fraction of a second I dodged a sudden attack by another one of those beasts, pushing Ruby and Weiss out of harm's way. "Another one!" I say as I point to more hell hounds emerging from the trees. "Beowolves!" Ruby shouted as she and Weiss readied their weapons. I shouldered my Thompson and began to fire at the so-called Beowolves, riddling one with bullet holes and causing it to collapse. As I was reloading I witnessed the Beowolf turn to black and white ashes, the carcass disappearing to God-knows where. I racked the slide on the Thompson and it went click, letting me know it was ready for more before I shouldered it and fired more searing-hot lead into those monsters. In the chaos of the fight, two more girls joined the fight, a blonde with gilded gauntlets and a black haired gal with a bow and some sorta sword-pistol.

"Yang!" Ruby shouted excitedly, cutting another Beowolf down with her scythe. The blonde and black haired girls introduced themselves as Yang and Blake respectively, and I gave them my name in return. Finally we cleared out the monsters and joined by more people, a blonde guy named Jaune, a red-haired Spartan girl named Pyrrha, an energetic ginger gal named Nora, and some sorta ninja fella named Ren. We didn't have much time for pleasantries though, as this huge crow and giant scorpion started attacking us, the scorpion being attracted by Jaune.

I looked up at the crow, stunned. "Sweet land of liberty! What the hell is that!?" I yelled, pulling out my carbine and firing at it. Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang went after the giant bird, and Jaune, Nora, Pyrrha, and Ren went after the scorpion. I didn't know what to do. I wasn't trained for killin' monsters...but I had to help. I started to run, fast, and jumped, way higher than I've ever jumped. I jumped high enough to reach the platform that Yang and Blake were on, crawling onto the stone and firing at the giant crow, or Nevermore as Yang and Blake called it, landing a few hits on it's face and causing it to slam into a cliff face. I jumped over to the cliff, running over to see Ruby decapitate the beast with her scythe. I gave her a thumbs up and she smiled running to join the others. I saw that Jaune, Nora, Pyrrha, and Ren had killed the scorpion, and I wiped my brow. "Are there more of these things...?" I asked, Nora nodding eagerly. "Yep! Thousands! Maybe even millions!" She said, poking the scorpion's carcass with her hammer. "Oh...great." I say, beginning to walk with the two teams.

Y/n POV

After I returned with Teams RWBY and JNPR, I was taken to Ozpin's office for questioning. As for why? Well apparently I wasn't supposed to be in the 'Emerald Forest' while students here at this 'Beacon Academy' were getting initiated. However, Ozpin allowed me to go free without punishment...so long as I enrolled at Beacon. I bit the bullet and did so, and was assigned to be a temporary fifth member for Team RWBY, though I had my own dorm. I didn't get much sleep that night. It's hard for me to sleep in new places, and the fact that I didn't know where my squad was made the anxiety worse. At least the beds were comfortable, not as stiff as the ones in England. When I did manage to drift off to sleep, I had a dream of the landings...or maybe it was a vision? I just saw the German defenses firing these purple blasts at me and a few other soldiers...God, what if I'm not the only guy to be transported here? I woke up after that, hearing a knock at the door...

Previously that night, Lucas POV

I was on the ground, everything hurt. Was I dead? No, you don't hurt when you're dead. I opened my eyes and got up, seeing two other troopers staggering to their feet. I limped over to them, helping them up. "Dammit...where are we?" One bespectacled guy asked, looking around and seeing shining green towers in the distance. "We ain't in Kansas, that's for sure." The other guy said with a chuckle before coughing as he stood up. We got each other's names, the guy with glasses was Private Wyatt Amber, and the other guy with a burn scar on his face was Private Niall Fialova. "How'd ya get the scar?" I asked Niall as we walked, Niall touching his face. "Plane started to burn as I was jumping. Got cooked by those flames." He explained, coughing again. "What's the plan?" Wyatt asked and I sighed, shrugging. "I don't now. We get to those towers, find help, and hopefully link up with our units." I say, only silence following this plan.

We finally reached the green towers, finding that it was a school called Beacon Academy. We met this strange fella named Ozpin, who told us that he had met another guy in the same situation as us. Ozpin brought us to a dorm and knocked on the door. I never could've guessed who would open it...
