Attack on Remnant Chapter two: Forever Fall kidnappings Author: lupin096

Three years after the tanker incident, things seemed peaceful; in Remnant standards. An entire year has passed since we graduated from Beacon academy. Everyone went their separate paths after we graduated from Beacon. Ebony went to work at her father’s auto shop, and Bianca is with Yonca (as expected given their relationship). They said they were going to “leave their symbols on the world” and they headed towards Vacuo. What was I doing? I was in my studio apartment, buying a plane ticket to Atlas. I’ve been living in this expensive looking apartment ever since I became a student at Beacon. The floors were made out of a whiter than snow carpet. In the middle of the floor was a green square. On that green square were two expensive white chairs, a glass table littered in files and a black TV remote. In front of it was a 24 inch wall mounted flat screen TV. And my bedroom was like a white treehouse, up above and shaped like a box. There was a tactical reason behind that I assure you.

Like I said before, I wanted to go to Atlas. I had to see if my aunt was still living in my old house, outside the kingdom of Atlas. We haven’t seen, or spoken to each other in eleven years.

I had mixed feelings about confronting her then. Before I became a student and moved to Vale I did something pretty messed up and I got paid a whole lot of lien just for doing it. I used to have dreams about that day every night. I’m still in the process of letting it go. It was thanks to that job I was able to buy such an expensive apartment.

When I finished buying the tickets I had nothing better to do, but watch something on my wall mounted flat screen TV.

When I turned the TV on it was on the news channel. Just looking it reminded me of a current problem?

Four teams went missing about a week ago. Each of them went missing in the same area, Forever Fall. The first three were first year students on a field trip and they were on a field trip to collect sap. The one in charge of the trip was Professor Port. When they were late coming back they sent in second year team, RWBY, and Professor Oobleck out to find the missing professor and the other 3 teams. Only the professor came back to tell the tale. He said that they found Professor Port, chained up to a tree, and dead. Then they were attacked by black cloaked figures wearing skeleton masks. “They were too strong, and there were too many of them. They weren’t human.” He said.

In the end they never did find the missing teams. The families already confronted Beacon academy and it ended in a riot when Ozpin told them that they couldn’t risk anymore lives until they who they were dealing. I’m guessing the families assumed they were just abandoning them.

”My God. Can’t we ever catch a damn break?” I thought while looking for a less depressing channel. I didn’t sympathize with the families; not one bit. I didn’t lose anyone close to me at the time, and to me they were total strangers to me.

“Thank God someone killed that lard ass professor. What was Ozpin thinking when he gave him the job of instructor? Good riddance.” I still remember his classes like they happened yesterday. He would go on, and on about his youthful accomplishments, while I struggled to stay awake. I always imagined putting an ice arrow in his mouth to shut him up.

Anyway, my scroll started ringing from my bedroom. On it was a mission offer from Ozpin, he wanted me to come to Beacon first thing in the morning and meet him in his office.

The next morning I was walking through the main avenue. Around me was a green field with a few giant rocks in them. Around me was a wide avenue leading up to what appears to be the main academy buildings and their large, impressive main doorway, which opens up to a large amphitheater. The avenue was marked with trees and flag-draped light-poles, as well as a number of impressive aqueduct-like features and archways. In front of the entrance was a circular pond surrounded by a pathway and a garden of red trees.

On my way to the entrance I saw a woman being dragged out by her arms by two Atlesian knight- 200s. She was screaming and wailing, “Where is my son?! Where is my son damn you!? Where is my baby boy?!”

I assumed she was another parent who had a child go missing in Forever fall.

“What a stupid woman.” I thought. “Talk about overreacting, and it’s out of ignorance as well. She should’ve been prepared for something like this.”

I walked in through the giant doors and nothing’s really changed about the place. Well except for the fact there were brand new faces wondering around. As I walked through the hallways I began to remember all sorts of past events while I was a student. My very straight forward and demonic teammate, Yonca Yildrim slammed a student’s head through one of the windows, because they showed her a video of them bashing the head of an already domesticated and injured dog. She was super lucky that the cops were looking for him and his parents didn’t press charges.

Nostalgia aside, I made it to the elevator that leads to Ozpin’s office. On my way up I wanted to rip the doors open and get out of the elevator. But, I didn’t want to die so I kept myself under control.

After 2 minutes of fighting one of my biggest fears I finally got to his office. There were giant rusty looking clock gears on the wall to my left and there were some on the ceiling to. But neither Ozpin nor Goodwitch was anywhere to be seen.

I wasn’t alone in that spacious, clockwork themed office however. In front of me were very familiar faces. My friends and former teammates were scattered around the room.

“Is that my partner I see?” Ebony said with her usual cocky smile.

“I see Ozpin has summoned you all here as well?” I said moving up to them.

“I see you’re as cold ever. I don’t even get a hello.”

“Come on, Ebony. Can you imagine how weird it would be if Nikelio was all cheery and happy?” Bianca said while being caressed by Yonca.

“Then she wouldn’t be the Nikelio we all know and love.” Yonca intervened.

That comment made me feel happy. Too bad I was too embarrassed to say anything nice about it.

“Have you guys heard about the students going missing, and Professor Port getting killed?” I said in an attempt to change the subject.

Before any of them could respond Ozpin came in. Alongside him was, Glynda Goodwitch, and James Ironwood. As soon as the three of them walked through that elevator door the mood changed from nostalgic to serious.

“It’s nice to see you again, team EBNY.” Ozpin said with a smile. As always that smile of his made feel uneasy and the atmosphere of the room didn’t help either.

“I’ve brought you all here today to discuss a certain… situation we have in the forest of Forever Fall.”

“I heard several teams went missing and Professor Peter did everyone a huge favor and died like the braggart he was.” I said.

Everyone looked at me in shock of my bluntness.

“Right. Like Ms. Sylvestris said, several 1st year teams and a 2nd year team went missing in Forever Fall. And an old friend was taken from this world.” He said with a melancholic tone.

As I looked at Ms. Goodwitch and Ozpin, they both had sad expressions on their faces. I didn’t care, because I still didn’t know what it felt like to lose someone I actually cared about.

Anyway Ozpin’s plan went like this. They already knew where the missing students were located because of Professor Oobleck, who managed to escape, remembered where the kidnappers were located.

They took them to a gorge located far north of Beacon. As he escaped he counted at least 100 men armed with automatic weapons and huntsmen class weaponry.

Our best option was to go in during the day, assuming that they have Faunus in their ranks.

“We will send a hundred men to attack the gorge with you” Ironwood said pulling up a holographic map of the gorge. “Are there any questions?”

“I have one.” Yonca said. “When do we start? I’ve been itchin for a good fight ever since we graduated.”

“I have a better question.” I said in disdain of Yonca’s question. “Have you considered the fact that they might’ve killed them?

Again everyone looked at me in shock. “Too answer both of your questions,” Ironwood said. “We attack in two days and yes we’ve considered that.”

“If so, why the hell are you sending such a large force for prisoners that might be dead? Wouldn’t it make more sense to split our forces and have one of them infiltrate the gorge and the other part of our forces on standby?”

“We could use that larger force to cause a distraction for our exfiltration.” Bianca added.

“This is why I brought you in Ms. Sylvestris.” Ozpin said. “Your tactical prowess is equal to that of an experienced huntress.

“Prowess!?” Ironwood exclaimed. “We won’t be able to crush them if we split up our forces. There are lives at stake!”

“We are well aware of that General.” Glynda said.

“Think about it this way, Ironwood.” I said. “This way it won’t be a waste of time and lives. If we just raid them head on they could use the students as hostages and we’d probably lose men that could’ve lived.”

“That’s enough you two.” Ozpin said. “Ms. Sylvestris please help Mr. Ironwood coordinate the plan of attack. We need this place studied inside and out.”

There you have in two days a battle would take place. I thought to myself there is no way in hell that this mission is going to just “end”. Usually a situation ten times as bad comes around right after the first one.
