After clearing up a few more grim Ethan and Miller met up with the rest of the students to explain who they were. Many of the students had questions for the two but they didn't answer any of them and told them they had to wait until they got back to base. Right now the two were leading them that way. But on the way back Weiss then looked closer at Miller or well more or less his uniform. 

"Excuse me, professor." Weiss whispered to Glynda. "I think Millers outfit looks familiar."

The blonde professor then looked at his uniform and it was clear to Glynda once she had a better look at the two that their uniforms looked familiar to her. 

"Now that you say that, it looks very much a like Alex Ambers outfit." Glynda said. "Excuse me Miller, do you know a man by the name of Alex ambers?" 

"Um... not at the top of my head." Miller answered. "Why?"

"Because we have a student at our school that wears a similar uniform to what you have on." Glynda answered. 

"Really?" Miller asked. "That's interesting." 

Just then the group then came up on the docks as the sentry's at the main entrance then trained their guns on the group of students. But Andrew then gave waved them down and told them they were friendlies and not enemies. They soon turned their guns away from the group and continued to watch for any threats that may approach the base. 

"So you and your men took this base from the white fang with no casualties on your side?" Ruby asked.

"Yep, they never stood a chance." Andrew answered. "Not as long as we have Arizona and her big guns giving us great firepower on our end."

"What is this Arizona you speak of?" Blake asked now curious as to what gave these military men the edge over the White fang. 

"It's the battleship that we have with us." Andrew answered. "It wouldn't surprise me too much knowing that no one can survive a big salvo of 14inch explosive shells."

At this point Ruby's jaw dropped the moment Andrew said this, now she was really interested in what they were packing.

"14INCH GUNS ON A BATTLESHIP?!?!?" Ruby exclaimed. "HOWS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?!?"

"Through a lot of trial and error miss Rose." Andrew explained. "A lot, of trial and error."

It was then the group entered the dock yards and noticed a whole lot of unopened giant containers full of dust from the Schnee dust company. As they walked through they noticed a whole bunch of other soldiers and marines going around the place doing various tasks they had on their hands. Just then the group then came up to a man who looked like he was in command of the whole operation going on. As they walked up both Andrew and Miller stood at attention and gave a sign of salute to the captain. 

"Ah, Sergeant your back, and you brought friends." Captain Ramirez said looking back at the group of teenagers. 

"Yeah, well private Miller here was the one to come into contact with them first Captain." Andrew answered. 

"Is that true private?" Ramirez asked.

"Yes captain, I accidently got slowed down when they started chasing us but they soon helped me out when I was in danger." Miller explained.

"I see." The captain remarked before turning his attention to the group. "And which one of you is in charge here?"

"That would be me." Glynda stated as she walked up. "And I take it your the one in charge here?"

"Correct." Ramirez replied. "I am Captain Reiketsu Ramirez of USS Arizona and the US Navy, you are?"

"Professor Glynda Goodwitch." The Blonde Huntress answered. "Me and these students were sent to investigate a big explosion that happened here recently."

"I Guess news spreads fast around here." Ramirez said. "Yeah the explosion you heard about was from us when we took this outpost form the so called white fang." 

"That's quite impressive considering your numbers here." Glynda said as she pushed her glasses up. 

"Well, who else has been hit by 14 inch shell?" Ramirez asked. 

"I see." Glynda said. "And you said you are a captain of a ship?"

"Yes, a battleship to be more accurate." The US Navy captain replied. "Follow me, I show you to it." 

The US Navy captain then started walking to where the battleship was currently docked along with the torpedo's boat. But on their way to the boats they passed by a number of other soldiers and marines going about their normal tasks. But just as they were about to reach the ships the group then noticed a large group of white fang prisoners all in binds and cuffs all gathered together in large area near the shipping containers. Blake was especially surprised out this as she thought that hardly anyone could go up against the faunas organization and defeat them but take prisoners as well accept for the Atlas military. 

"How were you able to capture so many of the white fang members?" Blake asked surprised.

"After we took the base the survivors who didn't die from the attack then started surrendering when their means of escape were cut off." Ramirez explained. "They tried taking off in their trucks and aircraft but we shot them down before many of them could get far." 

"That would explain why some of them have injuries." Blake said as she saw a few of them with cuts, gashes, and bruises. 

"Regardless, those who were seriously injured were taken in for medical treatment." The Captain said. "We're not savages." 

Blake was a little bit taken back by this as she never met a force that treated the wound of the opposing side. Just then they arrived to where the giant battleship Arizona was currently docked and being looked over by her crew. 

(Like this...)

"Whoa!" Ruby exclaimed. "Its huge!"

"Well, now 'that' is a battleship." Yang said impressed by the warships size.

"I don't think the Atlas military has anything that could compare to this." Weiss stated. Blake on the other hand stayed silent as she looked at the ship in aw.

Jaune and Pyrrha were both amazed and terrified of the giant guns mounted on the deck of the vessel and Ren had a calm look on his face but was very impressed by the battleships size. Nora on the other hand had sparkling stars in her eyes as she then rushed up to the massive warships size and then started looking all over it. 

"OMG! THIS IS THE BIGGEST WARSHIP ON WATER I HAVE EVER SEEN!" Nora said as she jumped around on one part of the ship to the next. Captain Ramirez then sighed as he face palmed at the young huntress's actions. 

"Could one of you tell her to not mess around on my ship?" Ramirez sighed. "I don't want her getting hurt."

"NORA!" Ren yelled catching the excited girls attention. "Get down from there!" 

"Aww...okay Ren." Nora pouted as she then jumped off the main deck and back on to the docking port regrouping with the others. 

"I have to say, that's quite the war ship you have there captain." Coco said looking over the huge vessel next to her Velvet took a picture with her camera. "Never seen one like it." 

"Thank you for the complement, miss...?"

"Adel, Coco Adel, captain." Coco answered. 

"So this is your warship captain?" Glynda asked.

"Yes professor, this is the warship under my command as well as the rest of the forces present here." Ramirez said. "Not only that but we also had a torpedo boat supporting us stopping any of the enemies trying to escape from the docks."

"That's impressive, for a small vessel to achieve." Fox said. 

"You'd be surprised what a well trained crew can do when they situation calls for it." Ramirez said as lieutenant Kennedy approached the captain with a piece of paper in his hands. 

"Captain, we dug around in the office and fold this inside one of the folders." Kennedy said. "I think these guys were planning something."

"Hmm." Ramirez said as he took the paper. "Thank you lieutenant, I'll look over it later." 

"You might find it rather a little... disturbing, captain." Kennedy said as he turned to walk away. "Look over it carefully."

"Noted." Ramirez said as he watched the commander of the PT boat walk away to his other duties and then he turned his attention back to Goodwitch. "So was their another reason you came all the way out here professor?"

"Well, besides investigating the cause of multiple explosions the headmaster at our academy would like to see you." Glynda stated. "He's taken an interest of your abilities and what your capable of."

"Is that right?" Ramirez said. "He is in need of my abilities?"

"In a way yes." Glynda answered. "He also stated that he needs someone who can protect the city of Vale by the Ocean."

"And why doesn't he ask someone else?" Ramirez asked curious.

"Because no one else in the world has a warship on the water with the amount of firepower that yours has." Glynda explained. "Also your PT boat and its crew would also be welcomed, we have a dock that is big enough to support both of your vessels."

"And if I accept your offer what's in it for me and all my men?" He asked wanting to know more about the deal.

"Well, again you would have your vessels docked in our port in the city of Vale when your not going anywhere." Glynda started. "Also you and your men will be supplied with ammunition, food and water as well as other supplies you may need in order to keep our waters safe from attack." 

"Hmm, would me and my men be allowed to explore this so called city of yours in our free time?" Ramirez asked. 

"That, you would have asked Headmaster Ozpin." Glynda said. "You would get more answers from him." 

Ramirez then turned his back to the group and his right hand on his chin as he pondered in his thoughts and weighted his choices. Either he could accept the blondes offer and protect their city from any attacks from the sea and be kept well supplied and organized. Or he could reject the offer and stay here at this port and try living out here by themselves. He really had to make up his mind about this choice he had to make as he did care deeply for his men and their safety. After thinking hard and carefully for about five minutes he then sighed and turned back to the group to give him his answer. 

"Very well, you just got yourselves some navy assistance." Ramirez said.

"So that means?" Glynda questioned.

"That means I accept your offer." Ramirez said. "But on the condition I have a meeting with this Ozpin you speak of." 

"Very well, that can be arranged." Glynda said pushing her glasses up. "How long do you and your men need to pack up for Vale?"

"Give us about a week and will be there in no time." Ramirez said. "Just be ready when we arrive."

"Not to worry I'll put in a word for Headmaster Ozpin that you want a meeting with him." Glynda said.

"Good, now if you down mind." Ramirez stated. "I have other business to attend to."

And with that the group was then escorted out of the base where they were then picked up by a couple of bullheads waiting to take them back to the academy. But as they took off Ruby took one last look at the docked battleship as she got inside before lifting the ground and back to Beacon. 

"I wonder if Michael or his friends know anything about that battleship." Ruby said to herself.

Meanwhile captain Ramirez was then back in his quarters as he took out the paper that Kennedy had given him earlier and began to look over it. But as he did so he did find out that it was a plan of sorts to take down a academy know as Beacon academy a school to train huntsmen and huntress's to fight the creatures of grimm. Not only that it had complete details on the different phases of the operation and how they were suppose to achieve it.  

"Holy... I better tell Ozpin about this when I meet him." Ramirez said.
