[Time skip: 4 months after the Merlot Nuclear Power Plant Disaster]

[Qrow's POV]

Four months.........four, damn, months, after the incidentat the Atlas Branch of Merlot Industries' Weapons Factory and Nuclear PowerPlant, the mutated Grimm are still on the loose infecting the others, turningthem into mutated Grimm as well. 

Oz told me everything what happened that night, fromMerlot's newest prototype mech's test, to the rise of the newly grown andevolved Grimm due to their exposure to the radioactive nuclear wastes.

After the Atlas incident, one-by-one, thosemutated Grimm started appearing in the outskirts of Vacuo, Mistral, then soonat Menagerie. 

Thankfully not a single mutated Grimm has beenspotted in Vale, for now. 

Once the news about the incident has spreadthroughout Remnant, that story alone planted huge fear into the hearts of thepeople and even the bravest of the brave of Huntsmen. 

Due to the intensity of the fear, it caused to attract more Grimm, mutated or not, to civilization.

Thankfully, a few Huntsmen stood up and stillfought the Grimm who still remains in their original normal sizes. Hell, someeven went far as battling the mutated Grimm in either by groups or going solo,but they were never successful taking down a single mutated Grimm. 

 The Councils of the 4 Kingdoms didn't take thisissue lightly. Since they have no other options, they let Merlot and Ironwoodteam up to handle the situation.

With the mutated Grimm on the loose, this is notconsidered as an attack anymore. It's an invasion, and we needed a new weapon.

Those Grimm that were 'contaminated' from the incident are being handled by Merlot Industries' so – called "Exo-Suits" along with the Atlas Military's own "Atlesian Paladins".

Since the incident, Merlot Industries immediatelydid their best to manufacture as many Exo-Suits as they can possible, deployingteams of those mechs in locations to where the mutated Grimm were last spotted.

In all honesty, I don't think those mechs areeven keeping up with the new Grimm. Those machines are nothing but a waste ofresources and good people. That's just according to my opinion to say theleast. But the people see those mechs differently; they see those mechs astheir saviors.

In fact, those machines are too easy to be hijacked and stolen. The White Fang had already got their hands on a dozen of them, and counting. That alone just adds up to the problems to deal with.

Just what the hell the world has gone to?

[3rd POV]

Date: January 23, 305 A.G.W.
Time: 10:16 hrs.
Location: Emerald Forest, Vale

Qrow Brawnwen, the drunken huntsman, is seen walking through the dense trees of the Emerald Forest, searching for signs of the mutated Grimm's presence in Vale.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reader: Why does this seem to be a NatGeo wildlife documentary? (0.0)

Author: STFU and read boi. (-_-)

Reader: Ok. (-.-)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Qrow: Just how the hell did we end up in this situation?

As Qrow takes out a flask from his shirt and opens it. Before he could take a sip, loud growls can be heard near his area. 

Qrow: That can't be good.

On cue, a group of 5 Omega Beowulves and 3 Ursa Majors appeared from the trees and stares down at Qrow menacingly.

Qrow: Just my luck.

As Qrow takes a quick swig from his flask, he puts his flask back and takes out his scroll and calls for assistance while he slowly walks back away from the Grimm.

Qrow: Hey Jimmy, I could use some of your fancy machines here. The mutated Grimm are here! I repeat, the mutated Grimm have reached Vale!

Ironwood: What?! Where are you right now?!

Qrow: Emerald Forest, here in Vale. 5 Omega Beowulves and 3 Ursa Majors, they're quite huge! Hurry!

Ironwood: We're on our way! Distract them for the meantime, lure them away from Beacon! And whatever you do, do NOT let them anywhere close to the academy!

Qrow: On it! *drops call*

As Qrow takes out his weapon, Harbinger, he switches it into its shotgun mode and starts shooting at the mutated Grimm while sprinting at the opposite direction, luring it away from the local huntsman academy. 

[Five minutes later]

As Qrow runs into a clearing, the Grimm spreads out and slowly surrounds him. He kept shooting, slicing and dodging the Grimm's attacks until a hail of bullets and missiles started to rain down the Grimm.

Qrow looks up to where the bullets came from, but he simply scoffs it off.

Qrow: About damn time you showed up.

Two Atlesian assault – carrier airships hover above in the sky, dropping Atlesian Paladin 290s (Production Types) via parachutes to the ground.

Lieutenant Exo-Suit Pilot: Alright ladies, let's bring the pain!

Along with the Atlesian Fleet are Merlot Industries' three of their main attack/carrier gunships, the C-21 Dragon, dropping teams of their Exo – Suits armed with GAU-90 heavy machine guns with blades under the barrel of the gun. Some of the Exo-Suits teams are armed with large physical swords instead of the heavy machine guns.

One of the Exo-Suits that were dropped has bulkier armor than the others and is armed with a more powerful variant of the GAU-90 heavy machine gun with a fire and a dragon decal painted along the gun's barrel. On its back is a sheathed physical sword. This unit is piloted by Merlot Military's Colonel Miles Quaritch.

Col. Quaritch: Alright people, let's get this done. Spotted 5 Omega Beowulves and 3 Ursa Majors, targets confirmed. All units take aim!

The Exo-Suits then starts to line up aiming their firearms at the mutated Grimm while the Atlesian Paladins started to open fire the Grimm from all directions, distracting the Grimm.

This gives Qrow a chance to escape the Grimm surrounding him into the line of trees to avoid the incoming volley of bullets.

As Quaritch noticed that Qrow escaped the circle of Grimm; he gives out his order to the others.

Col. Quaritch: This is group leader; Brawnwen has successfully escaped the Grimm's current vicinity. Provide cover fire for the Paladins.

Lieutenant Exo-Suit Pilot: Light 'em up!

As the mechs started their barrage of bullets, the mutated Grimm spread out, some charged at the mechs causing the group to briefly pause their firing and move out of the way then continue to open fire.

Gunner Exo-Suit Pilot: Yeah, get some!

Col. Quaritch: Slashers, pursue and destroy!

Slasher Exo-Suit Pilots: Yes sir!

Slasher Exo-Suit Pilot #1: All Slasher units disengage limiters!

The pilots of a group of six Exo-Suits armed with the physical swords disengage their suits' limiters. 

Slasher Exo-Suit Pilot #2: Drop dead you over-sized beasts!

As the Slashers group of Exo-Suits hastily charged two of the Omega Beowulves, three of the Exo-suits were immediately eliminated by the Grimm by simply swiping their claws at the mechs.

While two of the Slashers managed to take down two Omega Beowulves and an Ursa, the gunner Exo-Suits provide cover fire for the Slashers taking down another Omega Beowulf.

As Qrow reaches to a tree, his scroll goes off as he answers it.

Qrow: Talk to me.

Ironwood: Qrow, where are you right now?

Qrow: I'm here in one of the tree lines here. I assume you and Merlot are seeing this right now.

Ironwood: Of course we are. We're still learning ways to improve and upgrade our tech, especially now that the Grimm have increased its mass and are increasing in numbers. Col. Quaritch is doing his best to eliminate as many mutated Grimm as well.

Qrow: You DO know that those mechs won't last long against those Grimm. Even if Miles is in there, they won't - -

Ironwood: Qrow, with my Paladins and Merlot's Exo-Suits teams together along with Col. Quaritch's skills as a soldier and a pilot; those Grimm won't stand a chance.

Qrow: Whatever, I still don't like the idea.

Ironwood: Like it or not, this is our only line of defense against the new type of Grimm.

Qrow: Well that's at least what the Councils from the four kingdoms said. *drops call*

As Qrow watches from the trees, he takes notice that some of the Exo-Suits and the Paladins are getting overwhelmed slowly one-by-one by the mutated Grimm. Some of the Exo-suits have been crushed by the Omega Beowulves. With agitation growing on him, he takes out his scroll and contacts Ironwood.

Qrow: This isn't working, James! The mutated Grimm are beating your 'tin cans' into scrap! Heh, 'tin cans', what a silly bitch.

Ironwood: Impossible! Quaritch is out there with them!

Qrow: You think I don't know?! Give them orders to fall back.

Ironwood: Fall back?!

Qrow: Besides, all you and Merlot did were putting those people in mechs just to get crushed by the new Grimm.

Ironwood: They signed up for it! By the time they did, they knew the risks in the battlefield.

Qrow: I don't give a damn! Just have them fall back!

Ironwood: And what the hell are YOU going to do?!

Qrow: I'll handle the Grimm. If Quaritch decides to join the slaughter party with me then he is damn welcome to!

Ironwood: You'll get yourself killed! Are you even seeing the size of those Grimm?!

Qrow: Well it's better to try rather than hiding in these trees like a pussy! I just hope there are nearby Huntsmen in this area to help us out. By the gods, please.

Ironwood: No! You stay there! I'll have mine and Merlot's gunships assist.

Qrow: Heh, like that will do anything.

Ironwood: Just trust us on this Qrow. Our mechs have been taking down those mutated Grimm successfully for the past few months now, and we'll keep that winning streak ongoing whatever it takes.

Qrow: BULLSHIT! I don't care about that 'winning streak' you're talking about! I'm going out there; and beat the living crap out of those Grimm. End of the damn story!

Ironwood: Qrow wait!

Qrow: *drops call*

Qrow then dashes out to the clearing as he takes out his weapon in its shotgun mode and starts firing at the nearby Grimm which is an Omega Beowulf. Qrow keeps firing and slashing at the Grimm's limbs while dodging the Grimm's attacks.

While the battle rages on, Quaritch notices Qrow fighting an Omega Beowulf.

Col. Quaritch: Hmm.....even though you and that Omega Beowulf differ in size and mass, you're still keeping up one hell of a fight. I'll give you that. But now it's time to return the favor.

Before Quaritch's Exo-Suit could leave its current spot, an Ursa Major blocks his path.

Col. Quaritch: You son of a bitch. And here I thought you were done for.

As the Ursa Major goes for a clawed paw swipe,its paw was immediately cut off by the Commander Exo-Suit's large physical sword. Quaritch then started shooting at the Grimm's chest and head as it fell down with a loud thud and dissipates into ashes.

[Back to Qrow]

After dodging another attack from the Omega Beowulf, Qrow jumps high off the ground and transforms into his bird form and dodges another attack from the Grimm.

As Qrow (in his bird form) reaches the Omega Beowulf's head, he immediately reverts back to his human form with his weapon in scythe mode and swings down cutting off the Grimm's head.

After landing to the ground, another Omega Beowulf was about to attack Qrow but the Grimm was soon eliminated via bullet storm. When Qrow looked to where the bullets came from, he saw the Commander Exo-Suit's smoking gun barrel.

Col. Quaritch: Got your back, Brawnwen.

Qrow responds with a nod as a mutated Ursa Major lets out a loud roar.

Col. Quaritch: Hey Brawnwen, think you're in for another round? *aims at the mutated Ursa Major*

Qrow: Always.

Before the two could attack, the Grimm is taken down by a hail of bullets and a couple of missiles aimed at its head and left arm.

Qrow: What the –

Col. Quaritch: Damn it, Merlot. Brawnwen and I had it.

Merlot: *through the transmission lines* you know, I think Brawnwen's right.

Col. Quaritch: What are you talking about?

Merlot: We should retreat. After all, the Grimm has been dealt with in this area; I doubt that there will be any of the others.

Col. Quaritch: I suppose. *looks around his surroundings* Alright then, let's head back. Have the C-21s pick us up.

Merlot: On it.

*transmission ends*

Col. Quaritch: Well Brawnwen, I guess our work here is done. And by 'our', it means us, including you. That was some nasty Grimm extermination you did there.

Qrow: Good. Now that we know the mutated Grimm are here in Vale, both your mechs and the Huntsmen are much needed. We can't afford to be overrun by them.

Col. Quaritch: I agree. But for now, we're heading back to base. Need to be somewhere? We can give you a lift.

Qrow: Nah, I'm good. I'm gonna head to a bar and have a shot, or two, maybe a dozen? I don't know. Besides, I'll still look for more of those mutated Grimm in the nearby areas. I'll also have to report this to Oz.

Col. Quaritch: Don't worry about reporting to Ozpin, I'll have Merlot or Ironwood do that for you. Come on, Brawnwen, first round's on me tonight. Head out to a bar for some vodka rounds with me. Might wanna take a few swigs.

Qrow: Vodka, huh? Cyka Blyat. Well thanks for the offer but I think I'm good.

Col. Quaritch: Alright then, I'll see you some other time.

Qrow: Yeah, I'll see you around.

Before Qrow could walk away, a set of distant but loud roars we heard from the forest.

Col. Quaritch: Is that what I think it is?

Qrow: Our job isn't done here.

Col. Quaritch: So it seems.

Lieutenant Exo-Suit Pilot: Colonel! I'm picking up multiple readings! 500 meters and coming in fast!

Col. Quaritch: All units! Assume formation 2319A!

As the Exo-Suits took aim at different directions, a horde of regular-sized Beowulves, Ursai, and Creeps started to come out of the forest as the mechs started to open fire on the horde of Grimm while Qrow and the other mechs with swords slashed through the Grimm.

(Gomenasorry, I'm not really good with fight scenes. But hey, I tried. :P)

After a few minutes, the Grimm horde was now reduced to ashes with 3 Gunner units eliminated.

Qrow: Well, that was something.

Lieutenant Exo-Suit Pilot: I'm surprised that the regular-sized Grimm are still here.

Col. Quaritch: Though it is clear that the Grimm in their original body mass sizes still exist and are still out there, we shouldn't lower our guards because of this.

Qrow: They could still evolve anytime soon and we don't know if that damn power plant is still causing it to this day. Though that time might be short and near us.

Lieutenant Exo-Suit Pilot: He's right, sir. We should report this to Dr. Merlot. He might come up with a countermeasure for the Grimm's continuous abnormal growth.

Col. Quaritch: You may be right there, Lieutenant. But coming up with a countermeasure like that will take a long time to develop. Well, at least how Merlot will say it. I'm not into that science-y stuff, you know.

Lieutenant Exo-Suit Pilot: Well if Merlot can't, then we can turn to our local genius trio.

Qrow: Genius trio?

Lieutenant Exo-SuitPilot: Lt. Nishida, Dr. Matsunaga, and Engr. (L/N).

Qrow's eyes widen upon hearing the names he haven't heard of a long time.

Col. Quaritch: I believe you know them, Brawnwen?

Qrow: Yeah....... all too damn well, Takeshi, Ronin, and (D/N). *chuckles* Man, those three, when together, make up the perfect Huntsmen team.

Col. Quaritch: Their bond's that strong huh?

Qrow: Yep, those silly bastards are a huge pain in the ass and inseparable from one another. But how the hell did they end up working for Merlot?

Qrow then spaces out, memories flashing back since his days at Beacon Academy with Takeshi, Ronin, and (D/N).

His trance was interrupted when a huge reindeer-like Grimm leapt out of the forest and rammed an Exo-Suit onto a tree, crushing the cockpit and its pilot.

Qrow: What is that Grimm?!

Lieutenant Exo-Suit Pilot: I've never seen anything like it!

Col. Quaritch: Well if you've been paying attention to Matsunaga's recent lecture that was a week ago, that, over there, is a Cervos Grimm, known for its reindeer-like features.

Qrow: Okay so what do we do now?

Col. Quaritch: Isn't it obvious, Brawnwen? You're a Huntsman; you should know exactly what to do.

Lieutenant Exo-SuitPilot: All units, TAKE AIM AND OPEN FIRE!

With that, both mechs started to shoot at the rampaging Cervos Grimm. While the bullets aren't exactly penetrating the Grimm, the other Gunner Exo-Suits as well as the Paladins started to open fire while the Slashers charged at the Grimm with their swords ready.

Before the Slashers could even attack the Cervos, the Grimm leapt in the air finally escaping the mechs' line of fire and ramming two Slashers into the trees.

Lieutenant Exo-Suit Pilot: That doesn't look good.

Col. Quaritch: It definitely doesn't. Let's get to work, Lieutenant!

Lieutenant Exo-SuitPilot: Yes sir!

The mechs started to open fire on the Cervos Grimm until a mutated Beriwingel sprang out from the line of trees and pounced on one of the Gunner Exo-Suits and starts to crush the mech's cockpit with its huge frontal limbs.

Lieutenant Exo-Suit Pilot: Sir, a mutated Beriwingel showed up!

Col. Quaritch: That doesn't look good. The Exo-Suits and the Paladins alone won't be able to kill these bastards alone. We need air support.

Merlot: *through the transmission line* Leave that to me.

The C-21 Dragons above starts to open fire on both the Beriwingel and the Cervos. The Grimm doesn't seem to be fazed nor harmed by the bullets as the Grimm continues to ram and bash both the Exo-Suits and the Atlesian Paladins.

Merlot: Damn it. Nothing's happening. James, I could use an assist here.

Ironwood: On it.

Before the two Atlesian airships could provide assistance to Merlot's gunships, both were raided by a swarm of 19 mutated Nevermores. 

Ironwood: *growls in anger* Use the turrets and shoot down those Grimm!

The two airships take their offensive weapons out. The two long cannons on both starboard flanks started to shoot down any Nevermore that comes near them and Merlot's gunships.

After a few minutes, the swarms of mutated Nevermores were reduced to a minimum as one of the Atlesian airships aimed their cannons at the two Grimm below and started to open fire at them.

With the Beriwingel finally taken down by one of the Atlesian airships, the Cervos lets out a cry as two more Grimm Beriwingels and another Cervos came out charging at the Paladins and Exo-Suits. Following the mutated beasts, are the Grimm that are in their original sizes. The newly arrived Grimm has beaten half of the mechs' forces in less than two minutes.

Both Quaritch and Qrow are shocked at the scene in front of them as they both continue to fight the Grimm.

Qrow: This is bad.

Col. Quaritch: Merlot, Ironwood! We need a little assist here!

Merlot: *through the transmission lines* Sorry, but we got our hands full!

Col. Quaritch: What?!

Ironwood: More mutated Nevermores showed up! 

Above the skies, a huge swarm of mutated Nevermores are attacking the airships, the Grimm taking advantage of their quantity in attempts to take down the huge aircrafts.

Despite having a dozen Paladins shooting at the Grimm on the landing runways of each airship, the numbers of the mutated beasts aren't decreasing.

A huge mutated Nevermore came down on one of Merlot's gunships and used its own weight to pin the gunship down to the ground as an explosion ignites from the fallen gunship, killing the crew within.

C-21 Dragon Pilot: Sir! Dragon 2 is down!

Merlot: I know! I saw it! Tell the other gunship unit to switch missiles and take those damn things down now!

C-21 Dragon Pilot: Yes sir!

Before the other gunship could release a barrage of missiles at the mutated Nevermore swarm, three of them rammed themselves on the aircraft's propeller blades making it crash to the trees below with a huge explosion caused by the ship's leaking fuel tanks and missiles in its rack.

Merlot: No.......

C-21 Dragon Pilot: We just lost Dragon 3 sir!

Merlot: *grits his teeth* Use all of our artillery! Eliminate all of them!

C-21 Dragon Pilot: Y-yes sir!

While the sky above Emerald Forest is occupied with an intense aerial battle, below is carnage of broken metal and bloody corpses of the deceased pilots from battle while the beasts continue to crush every mech on their sights while a brave few still stand and are fighting.

Qrow: This is hopeless! At this rate we'll be crushed into a pulp!

Col. Quaritch: We can still hold them off while Merlot calls for reinforcements.

Qrow: REINFORCEMENTS?! Even if you call for some more, by the time their mechs set foot onto these grounds you'll end up having them dead!

Col. Quaritch: Then I suggest YOU leave the area this instant!

Qrow: What the hell are you talking about?!

Col. Quaritch: Think about it. Why this new batch of mutated Grimm did came here?

Qrow: Duh. That Cervos cried out for help. What else could it be?!

Col. Quaritch: Are you forgetting something,you damn drunkard?! Are you forgetting about your semblance?!

Qrow freezes after he cuts down a Beowulf in half and realized what his semblance can do to others.

While still frozen on his current spot near a decaying Beowulf corpse, an Ursa was about to pounce on Qrow but was immediately shot by Quaritch's Exo-Suit.

Col. Quaritch: Brawnwen, what are you doing?! You got a death wish or something?! Get the hell out of here!

Snapping out of his thoughts, Qrow readies his weapon in scythe form as he dashes to an oncoming Ursa.

Col. Quaritch: Tch, idiot.

While Qrow combats the Ursa, Quaritch provides cover fire, shooting down any Grimm that nears the drunken huntsman.

After a short while, the two have finally eliminated the normal Grimm while the other mech teams are still engaging the mutated Grimm.

*A mutated Beriwingel crushes an Exo-Suit's cockpit*

Col. Quaritch: Alright, time to take down the big ones.

*Two Exo-Suits gets rammed by a Cervos*

Qrow: You're joking, right? Aren't you even seeing the sizes of those things?! We have no chance of winning this!

*Another Paladin gets crushed by a mutated Beriwingel*

Col. Quaritch: Well in that case, I'll just have to die trying.

With the mech's firearm at its right hand, Quaritch's Exo-Suit unsheathes its physical blade from its back with its left hand.

Qrow: Geez, this gun-crazy monkey sure has one hell of a death wish.

Ready to engage the mutated Beriwingel in front, before Quaritch's Exo-Suit could even leave its current position, a few beams of energy came from above went through the Grimm's head and torso causing it to fall limp and dissipate into ashes shortly after.

Col. Quaritch: What the hell was that?!

Lieutenant Exo-Suit Pilot: Colonel, above us!

Qrow: What?!

As they looked up, a humanoid mech of mostly white, red, blue, and a few hints of yellow and chrome decals, hovers above amongst the swarming mutated Nevermores in the sky.

The said mech is larger than the Exo-Suits and the Atlesian Paladins and is armed with a rifle and a shield with a protruding V-shaped antenna on its head.

Col. Quaritch: Lieutenant, what are we looking at?

Lieutenant Exo-Suit Pilot: I don't know sir. You think it's on our side?

Col. Quaritch: I'm not sure.

The said mech continues to hover above as some of the mutated Nevermores have taken notice it as they fly towards the mech.

But, before the Grimm could come near the mech, it aimed its rifle at the incoming horde of flying Grimm and fired pink beams as the beasts dissipated into dust immediately.

The mech then turns its head on the ground below to see that the mutated beasts are still on a rampage, crushing and ramming any Exo-Suit and Paladin on sight.

All of a sudden, the mech's eyes flashed bright yellow as its propulsion unit shuts down on purpose and falls down to the ground with a pose.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Author: Did somebody say, POSE?!

Reader: Oh no.......................

Author: SWIVEL HERE!!!!!!!!

Reader: We're doomed...............

Author: *distorted swiveling noises*

Reader: BACK TO READING!!!!!

---------------------------------------------------------------

The mech's sudden landing managed to get the mutated beasts' attention as the mech quickly fired four beams at one of the Cervos as the Grimm dropped dead in an instant.

After the Grimm has fallen, the other Cervos charged at the mech in an attempt to ram it but the mech raised its shield and stopped the Cervos in its tracks as the mech pushes it away and fires its head-mounted Vulcan guns at the Grimm.

As the fight between the unidentified mech and the remaining Cervos continues, the mutated Beriwingel is about to pounce onthe white mech but is distracted by Quaritch's Exo-Suit firing at the beast as Qrow swiftly slices one of its legs with his weapon in its scythe form.

[Back the white mech and the Cervos]

With a powerful kick, the white mech sends the Cervos deep into the tree lines. The mech then redirects its gaze at the aerial gunships as they struggle to decrease the quantity of the mutated Nevermores in the air.

Raising its rifle, the mech aims and starts shooting one beam at each mutated Nevermore while the gunships continue their own barrage of bullets and missiles at the winged mutated beasts.

While providing support fire from below, the mech's pilot from within the cockpit detects Grimm movement from its six. He smirks at this as the mech stops firing above as it turned to its rear as, on cue, the Cervos leaps out from the trees and charges the white mech.

As the Cervos charges its opponent, the white mech does the same but shoots beams at its ground causing the beast to suddenly halt as the mech took the opportunity and threw its rifle aside leaps high in the air while reeling back its left arm with the shield attached.

As soon as the mech reaches the ground, it rammed its shield at the Grimm's head, stunning it for a while as the beast begins to wobble from the impact.

The pilot then detects the incoming mutated Beriwingel from behind as it leaps into the air and attempts to pounce on the mech. In response, the mech simply used its shield and bashed the beast away.

The mutated Beriwingel rises up from the ground and lets out an ear-shattering roar. The white mech then reaches for a white handle/rod at its backpack.

As the mutated Beriwingel slammed its huge fists at the ground twice, the beast charges as the white mech pulled out the handle/rod as it emitted a raging pink energy beam that is shaped like a saber.

The beast was about to throw right hook at its opponent as the white mech simply charges the mutated beast and swings its beam saber downward, slicing the mutated Beriwingel's right arm as it cried out in pain with the white mech zooming past the beast.

But the skirmish does not end there. 

The mutated Beriwingel attempted to backhand the white mech with its left arm but the with the white mech's fast reaction, it simply used its beam saber to slice the beast's torso into two. The mutated Beriwingel's decaying corpse dissipates into ashes shortly after.

With the Beriwingel was eliminated, the mech then returns its gaze to the Cervos Grimm as the beast returned to its sensed and charges the white mech only to be eviscerated by the white mech by cutting its head off with its beam saber.

After dealing with the remaining Cervos, the populations of the mutated Nevermores that are currently in the air are not decreasing with the gunships in the verge of being destroyed.

The white mech's eyes flashed as its propulsion units revs up which generated the mech's ability to fly up in the air.

Once it has reached the winged muted beasts, the white mech starts to slash, stab, and behead any mutated Nevermore in its sights while firing its head Vulcans at any of them who attempted to escape the airspace.

While the white mech continues its onslaught against the mutated Nevermores, the crew from the gunships, along with Ironwood, Merlot, and the others from below on the ground just simply watch in awe as the mysterious mech swiftly deals the Grimm. 

Ironwood: Charles, are you seeing this?

Merlot: *through the transmission lines* Yes I'm seeing it, James.

Ironwood: Is that one of yours?

Merlot: *scoffs* I should be asking you that question.

Ironwood: Atlas doesn't have the technology to create a mech like that. If that thing doesn't belong to neither of us, then whose mech does this belong to?

Col. Quaritch: *through the transmission lines* we are as clueless as you are.

Lieutenant Exo-Suit Pilot: *through the transmission lines* though from the looks of it, it's making our job easier here.

Merlot: But above all, the concern here is who the pilot is and who manufactured that mech.

Col. Quaritch: Then we shall find that out once this operation is over.

Ironwood: I agree.

After the white mech beheaded the remaining Nevermore, it slowly descended to the ground and stood still for a few seconds. It then looked up at the surviving gunships as its head camera blinked, signaling them a message as well as to the other surviving Atlesian Paladins and Exo-Suits.

After the white mech transmitted a message to the gunships and to the other mechs, its head turned to Qrow's direction and stared.

Qrow stared back as the white mech's head camera blinked and in response, Qrow's scroll went off.

As he checked his scroll, he received a message,from the mech's pilot.

Qrow: *eyes widen* Son of a bitch.......

Qrow's scroll received a cryptic/ciphered message:

"Yo! You guys liked the show? We sure hope you did! To Merlot, Ironwood, Quaritch, and Brawnwen; LDDS TR ZS SGD LDQKNS HMCTRSQHDR EZBSNQX at its LZHM GP. See ya!

Yours truly, The Genius Trio."

Col. Quaritch: Brawnwen, could it - -

Qrow: *smirks* I know, it's them.

Author's Note:  Hey guys! Look, I really apologize for taking too damn long for me to finish the first chapter. School has me pretty beat for the past 3 months.
