Chapter 3: Returning to Remnant and Forerunner Discovery

After everything that happened with the Slipdrive malfunction, Zikan was first to gain consciousness and pushed himself from the ground and coughed.

"Ugh...Is everyone alright? FleetMaster?" Zikan asked, but notices his sounded slightly different. As the rest of the crew are waking up.

"Zikan, I'm alr- Wait a minute! What the heck?" Jaune asked as he notices his voice sounds different like he sounded younger like teen younger.

"Ugh...Hey What's wro- Huh?! Why do I sound weird?!" One of the Zealot exclaimed.

"You sound weird." Gripyap pointed out

"It's not just him! It's you, and- Wait, so do l!" The Elite exclaims.

The rest of the crew looks shock hearing their voices slightly different and Jaune decides it times to check. "Everyone! Take your helmets!"

Some were reluctant before complying with the rest removing the doing the same along with Jaune. When they removed their helmets, they were in deep shock and amazement when see that they all de-aged. The Elites and Kig-yar de-age in 20-25, the Grunts felt more younger and the biggest shock to them all, is that FleetMaster Jaune Arc, has de-aged to 17 years old!

"By the Rings..." The Zikan mutters in shock.

"By the Prophets..." Another Elite said.

"What the heck!?" A Grunt exclaims

"What's wrong?!" Jaune asked.

"F-FleetMaster! Y-you're young again!" One of the Zealots exclaimed dumbfounded.

"WHAT!?" Jaune shouts in shock.

Gripyap grabs a mirror and hands it to Jaune.

"By the Rings...I'm young!" Jaune said, as he stroking his younger self. He gains his composure and looks at his SIC. "Commander Zikan, as shocking this can be I want you and the rest of our men to check if any of our cargo, passengers and troops onboard are alright."

"Yes FleetMaster!" He said as he turns to those present. "You heard, the FleetMaster! Come on! Let's go!" They comply as Zikan and the his troops are storm out the bridge to check everyone if they  are alright, while the others stays in the Bridge.

"You there, where are we? Are we at the location where the Prophets gave us?" Jaune said as he approaches the Elite, who is working on the content panel to make sure everything is alright.

"Unfortunately no, we are in a unknown galaxy. That means Slipdrive malfunction must have cause the de-age thing." The Elite Reported as he is working on the control panel.

"What about other Shipmasters? What's their status?"

"They are nowhere to be seen, we must be separated." The Elite said.

"...just great...what Solar system or galaxy are we in?"

"...From what the I can tell it's unknown..." The Elite said. "But we are near by a Planet"

"...wait what?" Jaune asked confused as he look out the window and see a planet. A planet that looks almost similar to Reach. And a moon that looks like it has been shattered by something. Jaune stares wide-eyed, he can tell where they are, it's shocking for the young FleetMaster.

"By the Rings..." he mutters.

"Um FleetMaster?" Gripyap said.

"I know where we..." Jaune said as he looks at the planet below him.

"Where are we?" The Elite asked.

"Remnant...my home planet..." Jaune said as his face turns solemn as he face his troops, who are looking at him with shock expressions.

"WHAT!?!?"

"This is your home planet?!" One of the Elites exclaimed.

"You were born here?!" Gripyap exclaimed.

"Look I'll explain everything later...but first we must check if everything is in order." Jaune stated.

"...Yes Sir..." they said reluctantly.

"Good, now get back to work, I'll explain everything I promise." Jaune declared as he head to one of the control panels.

~Timeskip~

Nevertheless that everything seems to be alright, there has been no major damage done or anything Troops or Civilian casualties. After everything is accounted as Jaune calls his SIC along his troops to be in the Bridge so he can explain everything to them.

"So...FleetMaster, I overheard from the Grunts that you were born here...is that true?" Zikan asked as he and his troops were looking at me with surprise and wonder.

"Yes...I was born here...but I rather glass this planet right now." Jaune said with a cold tone making everyone looking at him with surprise to hear him wanting to glass his own planet.

"But sir, we can't do that there's a forerunner facility in there, it must be important" One of the Elite said, hoping to change his mind.

Jaune sighs, "fine! Prepare an investigation team, make sure the 'Crocea Mors' Bane' or any of our ships stays hidden from the Radar, we don't want to attract unwanted attention from this planet's military." Jaune said with a serious tone.

"Yes sir." They went to work while my SIC and his troops are still looking at Jaune for answers.

"You want to more about Remnant don't you?" Jaune asked

"Yes...it could help us adapt better to this, planet"

"Very well..." Jaune sighs and tells them everything about the Remnant and it's history. From the Humans and Faunus, the Grimms, the four kingdoms. Vale, Atlas who has strongest military in Remnant, Vacuo, and Haven. Needless to say, Zikan and his troops were angry about the Racism between Faunus and Humans. Also what surprises them is weapons that can transform into both Melee and Range. Also telling them about the Terrorist organization called the White Fang used to be a Peaceful group before they come an extremist group.

"The Humans here, have no honor! The Faunus or the White Fang should join us so we can glass the humans into dust!" Zikan declared with his troops agreeing with him.

"Calm yourself, you've forget that there are some humans that cares for the Faunus, don't jump to conclusions." Jaune said sternly

"I...I'm sorry for the disrespect sir." Zikan said with shame.

"It's alright...come on let's head the Hanger." Jaune said as he head to the hanger along with Zikan and his troops to prepare an investigation on forerunner facility on the plane surface, with Gripyap accompanying them.

~Timeskip~

Once Jaune, Gripyap and Zikan along with his troops reach the Hanger, he saw a special ops squad that consist of 1 Goliath, 3 Hunters, 6 Elite Minors, 3 Elite Majors, 4 Kig-yar Rangers, 10 Specs ops Grunts. The Elites wields Storm rifles, Plasma Rifles, Needlers and Energy swords. The Grunts are equipped with Needlers, Plasma Pistols, 2 Fuel-Rod Cannons and with some Plasma Grenades. The Kig-yars are equipped with Beam rifles, plasma pistols and shield gauntlets. As for Jaune he wield his weapon called "The Arc's Wrath" it's a plasma rifle that can transform into a Energy sword.

As he approaches them, the squad immediately stood in attention as Jaune, Gripyap and Zikan stops in front of them and Jaune spoke.

"Alright troops, our mission is to investigate the Forerunner facility down in the planet surface called Remnant. Once we reach our destination stay alert, we will be facing Grimms down there. I'll brief you what Grimms you will face, since I'm already aware what Grimms we'll face. Is that clear?!"

"Yes FleetMaster!" They said in unison.

"Good, now get in the Phantoms!" Zikan said as we start entering the Phantoms.

After we got in our respective Phantoms we start to launch and head to the Planet and enters the Planet's Atmosphere while being accompanied by a 5 Banshees. It confirmed that signal is coming from Mountain terrains.

~Timeskip~

As they reach at their destination, they land and were dropped off from the Phantoms and took off before telling them to com.link them back for pick up.

"Alright..." Jaune says gaining everyone's attention. "Everyone, stay sharp! Form a defensive formation and follow the signal. Let's move!"

They comply as I took out my 'The Arc's Wrath' and we move towards the signal. It was quite for a while, the only thing that breaking the silence is Gripyap and Grunt's constant talking, needless to say the Elites and Kig-yars are covering their ears in annoyance. Except Jaune and Zikan since they are used to the Grunts nonstop talks. Zikan however raise his hand in a stop.

"What is Commander Zikan?" Jaune asked

"FleetMaster, my scanners detected 18 dots closing in to our position in West." Zikan reports.

"...must be Grimms..." Jaune muttered. "Alright everyone! Get your weapons ready and prepare to kill anything hostile coming our a way." Jaune said.

We all prepared our weapons and face the West side. There was tense silence until a few Grimms burst out the forest charging at the group. The Grimms consist of 12 Beowolves, 4 Ursas and 2 Deathstalkers.

"GRIND THEM INTO DUST!" Jaune yells out as he start shooting at the incoming Grimms.

We start to fire upon the Grimms are charging at us, as the fight goes on, few of the Elites activates their energy sword and charge the Grimms with their Energy sword, one of the Hunters charge in and plows through the Grimms and smashing them with their shields and finishing them off with his plasma cannon. Surprisingly the Plasma rounds seems to cut through their armor like butter. As the Grimms dwindle in numbers it seems like the two Deathstalkers are the only ones that were able to withstand the plasma rounds.

"Goliath!" Jaune shouts gaining it's attention. "Attack the Deathstalker from the right! The Giant Bug!" The Goliath nods and attacks the Deathstalker from the right. Jaune turned to two Grunts who are weilding Fuel-Rod Cannons. "You two!" I said their gaining attention. "Shoot the Giant Bug to left! Destroy them!" The Grunts nods and fire their Fusion Cannon at the Deathstalker.

The Battle continues on,for a few minutes until there are no Grimms left alive.

Jaune breaths heavily and looks at Zikan, "Commander, Status report"

"There are no Casualties during the battle." Zikan reports

"That's good to hear, let's move on!" Jaune said as the group follows.

~Timeskip~

The Group kept walking until we arrive at the destination, Jaune and his comrades were at awe when they saw the Forerunner Facility. The facility is well hidden in the mountains.

"Shiny..." Gripyap commented.

"You can say that again." One of the Grunts replies.

The rest nods in agreement. As we approach he entrance, Jaune went to the counsel and activated something. It soon made a weird noises then a bright orange blinds them as if it's scanning them. When it's finished, the door opens and reveals a figure appears, Jaune and the rest of the troops were on guard. But when the figure came in view, Jaune and the group are in shocked to see, what they called, an Oracle(AKA the Monitor).

"By the Rings...it's the Oracle" Jaune said in awe along with the group.

"Greetings Reclaimer, my name is 116 Crocea Bane." The Oracle greets them
