Emmerald Forest. 0958 hours.

Mike's POV.

Jamie: "Yo, Mike."
-I couldn't believe it... My dead best friend was right in front of me, covered in dirt and his own dried blood... The state he was in before he died in my arms. His opened wounds were now scars on his face and arms.
I tried my best not to cry... But it was useles. I jumped at him and embraced him in a bear hug as I fell to my knee's crying uncontrolably for a long time.

Mike: "JAMIE!"-I cried for his name as I buried my face on his chest.-"Dude! What are you doing here!? You were in my head a couple of minutes ago and now you're in- oh fuck! You look like shit!"

*SLAP!*

After I began to spit huge ammount of words, my buddy shut my mouth by bitch-slapping my face. Which hurt a little bit.

Jamie: "Calm your tits, man. I don't wanna get homoerotic in the middle of the forest."-he joked. I couldn't belive how chill he was.-"And no, buddy, I'm not alive. I'm still dead, you're seeing my physical form. But in reality, I'm just a precense in your mind."

Mike: "Wh-what?"

Jamie: "Yeah. It may sound ridiculous, but it's the truth."

Mike: "Yeah! I know, after all I've seen recently, I can't say I don't belive you... But... Why now?"
-I asked him, still confused about the subject, and I still needed some answers, and he seemed to know them.

Jamie: "'Why now?' what?"

Mike: "If you were a precense on my mind this whole time... Why did you appear now, and not before?"
-After that, he went silent. That cocky smile he had on his face was gone, replaced by a serious glare in his eyes.

Jamie: "Remember my last wish? 'I wanna be buried in the place I die.' Those words. 'If I die in the US, bury me there. If I die in this shithole, bury me here.'
And you did it... You were the one who granted my last wish. After that, I've been in your mind ever since. But I couldn't do anything.
However... After you died, I could manifest something. I could speak to you, and you would hear me...
Man, don't you think I tried to appear physically since day one? I just couldn't. I didn't have enough 'strenght' to do it."

Mike: "So... Now that you have it... Are we back together? For real?"
-I asked as I wiped some tears I still had on my cheeks, looking at my friend who replied with a chuckle and a hug.

Jamie: "You betcha, Jarhead."
-He said before I hugged him back tightly. I was euphoric. My dead best friend just came back from his grave and he's now a spectre.
What a fucking day.

Mike: "I missed you, man..."

Jamie: "Hey. Let's put the romance aside and get back on mission. Let's show those two up there on the hill what, not one, but TWO Marines are capable of."
-He said as he broke the hug and gave me some head pats.
I looked at him with a devilish grin before I shook his hand. After that, I decided to go to the Humvee and use it, since it seemed like it still worked.

I gestured him to follow me around the vehicle and opening the trunk... Finding a gold mine inside.

It had guns. Lots of guns. Another M4A1 with an M203 grenade launcher, an Ithaca 37 pump-action 12 gauge shotgun, another 12 gauge shotty, but with a sawn-off barrell. There was also an MP5A2 and two 1911's. And finally, two Desert Eagles, an M249 SAW, an M72 LAW and seven more frag grenades.

Jamie: "I call dibs on the LAW!"

Mike: "Heh, the fancier the gun, the bigger the pussy who owns it."

Third Person POV.

Both Ozpin and Glynda couldn't believe what they witnessed, and despite Ozpin's... Experience, he had never seen something like this being performed by a man, a human, with no aura or semblance nonetheless. Back in the auditorium, everyone was speechless. This man was full of suprises.

First, he comes in without being a transfer student. Second, he doesn't even have an aura or semblance. Third, he somehow finds his dead friends in the middle of his initiation. And finally he somehow reunites with another one who died before.
Who was he? Who was the man he just summouned all of a sudden?
Lots of questions but no answers... And the two Marine will have to answer some of them whem they come back.

Some minutes later...

Both men were inside the Humvee, with Jamie driving the vehicle and Mike manning the .50 Cal turret on top of it. Just like old times.
After some minutes of off-road reckless driving, they finally reached the objective, which were a couple of ruins in the middle of a clear spot on the forest.

Jamie: "Alright, homie. Let's check this out."
-He said as he opened the vehicle's door and jumping out of it. Being followed by the other Marine, who simply got out from the top and jumped down from the roof.

Mike: "Got your back, brother."
-The Marine replied as he aimed his gun towards the bushes and trees, now knowing what might come from there.
Then, both men were finally in front of what they were suppossed to retrieve from there...

Jamie: "The fuck?"-the ghost said as he looked at the so-called "relics" they were after-"chess pieces?"
-He asked, taking a look at all the pieces they had in front of them. Every single one.
Kings, Queens, Towers, even Pawns... But, Michael didn't seem happy about this.

Mike: "I almost died because of a failed parachute, almost lost my arm because of some werewolf, had to bury the rest of my friends... FOR FUCKING CHESS PIECES!?!"
-He shouted out of pure rage as the grip on his rifle tightened so much that it looked like it may break it in pieces.
His friend didn't seem happy too, but unlike the younger Marine, his anger was a more silent one, which seemed even more scarier.

Jamie: "Hey, Devil Dog. I know you're angry, but we're on a mission now. We'll discuss this with that Ozpin guy and that 'Goodbitch' lady when we come back."
-He replied to his friend, the seriousness on his face was more than enough to make Mike obey.
And so, they grabbed the relics, both of them grabbing a Pawn. It all seemed like "Mission Accomplished. RTB."
But this was far from over.

Mike: "Shit, contact!"
-The Marine shouted after he spotted another Beowolf comming out of the woods, rushing towards them. He raised his gun and fired a short, controlled burst at it, killing it instantly.

*BRATATA!*

After that, the beast dropped dead on the ground and turned into black dust. It all seemed calm for a couple of seconds before another Beowolf came out... Then another one, and another. Then a couple of bigger beasts came out of the bushes, there was even a huge beast with wings flying above them. Soon enough, both Marines were surrounded by what seemed like an army of those beasts.

Back in the Auditorioum and Beacon Cliff, everyone was shocked to see that many Grimms together in one place, ready to attack only two men with man-handled weaponry and a truck.

Ruby: "Oh no..."
-Team RWBY's leader said, seemingly worried for those two men, who were about to face an overwhelming wave of Grimms.

Yang: "Dang, there weren't that many when we did our initiation..."
-The leader's sister commented, staing at the screen wide-eyed.

Weiss: "I don't think they will make it..."
-The Shnee said, looking directly at the two men who were about to face the beasts.
Both Marines were wide-eyed, seeing all those beasts roaring in front of them actually made them tremble... But they were not going down without a fight.

Jamie: "SHOOT THEM, NOW!"
