Act 1: who is Nebraska?

Sometimes the plan is simple... others its not. Crash site Bravo was under attack by locus and the New Republic army. The Reds and Blues doing wonderfully to defend it, but they where out numbered and where being forced into a corner. The Feds where bringing in rocket jeeps and they began to fire at the crashed ship, hoping to outmatch them.

"Hold them off just a little longer!" Felix says as he pops a NR soldier's head off, the blood coating into his armor. He then pulled out a knife and threw it into a Fed's head.

"We're cornered! we need a way out!" Says Wash through all the gunfire.

"Im out of grenades!" yelled Donut as he reloaded his BR. More Feds began to swarm them

"systems damaged. Warning! Warning!" said Freckles as he was destryed. Caboose collapsed to the ground as he looked at his destroyed pet.

"Here Donut!" Says Grif, tossing him a teleportation grenade. He looked at his hand to realize that the pin of the grenade was in his hand. "...uh oh."

"wheres the pin?!" Said Donut, heavily confused as he looked for the pin.

"Today is a good day to-" Said Sarge before the grenade went off in donuts hand. They all dissapeared without a trace, leaving time for the Feds to wonder what the hell just happened.

"Felix, what the fuck did you do?" said Locus in frustration. He signaled the Feds to begin pack up and they all did so.

An NR soldier walked up to locus after a minute. "sir we're ready to go. And may i ask, who is Felix sir?"

"A memory, and nothing more." locus said as he got into a warthog. "you coming pvt. Jones? Or am I leaving you here to suffer?"

"Neither sir. my job is intelligence retrieval. Me and another soldier must stay and collect intel on what had happened." said jones in a eery tone. "You wouldn't want Felix to stab you in the back, would you?

"Suit yourself." Locus said to Jones. "Get us back to base." and with that, the hole platoon left for their base, except for one guy.

"Pvt jones?" Asked a Fed who was left behind. Jones pulled out a pistol and shot him in the head, leaving the body to fall to the ground.

"You'll only kill them..."Jones decided to wander the area where he came across freckles who was still active... barley.

"war- war- warning. hostle detected. weapons damage- e- e- ed." Said Freckles as Jones prepared to remove him from the robot.

"Not hostle." said Jones very calmly. "Im inteligence and I hate violence at all standards." He lied. He still stayed calm

Freckles is scilent for a minute as if he was analyzing somthing."Confir-r-r-rmed." said freckles as he was removed from his body. Jones studied the AI chip and decided to install it to his helmet.

"can you hear me?" Asked Jones. "If so, I need a name."

"my designation is freckles" Said Freckles with a much quieter tone of voice. He still had the same voice however. "And I "was" a mantis combat ready assault droid until it was destroyed in the battle. I was saved by captain Caboose from wreckage of the ship."

"So you know the Reds and Blues?" said Jones. Freckles confirmed it. "Do you know where they went?" He agan confirmed it. "Where?"

"They seem to be teleported to a planet out of our galaxy system." Started Freckles. "Planet designation, DX7-24RT7-D117-41ZT. it is a goldilocks planet. Due to its moons current state, many prefer to go by it with a different name.." He is silent for a moment.

"Remnant, planet of the shatered moon, home to many of the many unknown." Said Jones. He then looked torwards the andromeda galaxy.

"Correct, that is also the destination of which agent Nebraska was sent to." said freckles.

"Agent Nebraska?" said jones confused on the subject. "A freelancer?"

"yes, agent Nebraska: formerly known as -file corrupted- was only 8 when he went through a teleportal that was malfuctioning. He was found at the age of 1 and was taken in by washington and the other freelancers as a responsibility. By now he is probably 15. he was given the designation Nebraska, as the child state, and for being the only freelancer to grow corn and create his own working armor sucsessfully." said freckles quite fastly.

"how... how do you..." Jones said out loud. "Corn?"

"Captain Caboose needed a replacement storage unit, and decided to use washingtons personal recording box." Freckles said as schematics for his body appeared. "It had 27.18 gigabytes worth of recordings on there."

"Ok, so... how do we get to remnant?" Asked Jones, observing the plans.

"Sensors indicate an alien temple is aproximentally 264 miles away from here. The terrain to get there is inpassable by vehicle. walking time should be aproximentally 1 week if started now, although it is recomended that you stalk-up on supplies."

"Shure but first i want to recover that spanish robot first." said Jones. he walkes up to lopez who was still speaking spanish. "Robot, i want to help you but i cant understand you, if i can convert your speech to english that would help."

"Why are people so targeting against Mexican style stuff?" Asked Freckles. "Quite a bit rasist."

Lopez nods in agreement. Jones fliped the robot over to pop open his back open. He finds the voice circut and tinkers with it. "'You can't fix robots for shit Jones!'" Jones murmured to himself. "Guess what I'm doing, dickheads." He then closes the panel and they both stand up. "Just wait till I have to fix your shit." He finished to himself.

"Thank you." Said Lopez. "Those idiots could never understand me but now they will. Oh sorry where are my manners! My name is Lopez."

"What nice manners. My name is Jones, currently AWOL inteligence for the Federal army of... Actually, fuck them. I have commendeered the mantis class AI freckles and... he has found where your friends are-" said jones before interupted by the robots hand.

"No! They are assholes who have made my life a living hell. Why would we help them?" said lopez extremely panicked. He grabbed his AR and reloaded it, expecting a fight.

Jones waited a minute before Freckles appeared as a holographic mantis. "If the Reds and Blues are gone, it would be useless to speak english because they will never respect you now." said Freckles. Lopez thinks about this for a minute before lowering his gun in defeat.

"SighOk. Give me an hour to pack our supplies for the trip. We will each be carying a bag so you might want to stretch." said lopez

"Thanks." Said Jones and Freckles at the same time. And with that, Lopez goes to blue base to get supplies and Jones starts stretching while asking Freckles what had occured within the last 24 hours.

Planet DX7-24RT7-D117-41ZT: Remnant. Location unknown.

All the Reds and Blues where knocked unconscious except for Wash, but he was losing himself to darkness. He could identify that he was on a brick path and that there was a tower in the direction he was looking in. He kept looking and saw two people in front of him, one taller than the other.

"Oz, we need to get them to the infirmary now." Said what sounded like a teenager. His sound was impared so he didn't hear him well.

"Who are they Violet?" said the man he presumed to be named Oz. The teen sounded male though the name atruck him as odd... but wash thought he knew why. He tried to move his hand but was ultimately unsuccessful.

"One of them is named Washington. He is one of the men who helped raise me." said Violet, the name ringing in Washington's head. "As for the others, he can explain later when he wakes up." the voices getting even more fuzzy. He tried moving again, nothing happening.

"Ok." he starts talking to on what looked like a phone but the darkness consumed his vision even more to where its just fuzzy hearind. "DuFresne? I need medical attention immediately. Landing area. We have more armored guests. Similar to our deer friend Nebraska, and you. One of them is names Washington. Thank you very much."

At the name Nebraska, Wash knew who it was, but the name DuFresne set off even more alarms. "Doc?" wash mumbled before he passed out underneath the pile of soldiers. He was able to mov his hand and this caught the two's attention.

"Oz... He's alive." Violet said.

Chorus: crashsite bravo.

"So we're all set?" said Jones as Lopez came out with two bags filled with supplies. Lopez dropped a bag in front of Jones puts it over his shoulder.

"Si, just make shure not to drink my oil by accident." Said Lopez with a bag already over his shoulders.

"Ok freckles, where to?" Asked Jones.

"Sead through the caves, there will be an opening at which we can crall through." Said Freckles to both Lopez and Jones. With that, they start walking torwards the caves with the hope of finding the reds and blues, although... they will find way more than they barganed for.

Remnant.

Doc was running between the soldiers as he tried to not let them die. He didn't have his armor on, leaving his thin build, scrawny face, strong legs, lilac eyes and light brown hair in the open. "You guys always get in the worst situations don't you?"

"Wash was never lucky, expecially when it came to grappling hooks stuck to his balls." Said Violet, sitting next to Wash with his armor on. Violets armor was just like the others but purple, and the upper arms and legs where missing, as well as the helmet, revealing purple highlights in black hair, and pure gold eyes.

"He did what now?" Asked Doc as he dropped Tucker's helmet on his foot. "Agh! Shit!"

"You ok Doc?" Asked Violet as he stood up. He came over to him, armor already on, and picked up the hundred pound helmet. "I understand this is titanium, but didn't you say you ran track in high school?"

"I had to do CPR for a full seven hours one time." Said Doc as he took the helmet. "It happens." He said as he put the helmet on the table next to them. "Wait... Titanium?"

"They are Spartain threes." Violet said, removing Grif's helmet. "Or at least their armor is, point is, they'll survive a shot."

"What about me?" Asked Doc, removing Donuts helmet. "I'm a legit Spartain four!"

"And I'm the armor expert." Violet said with a side of sarcastic while remaining serious. "You'll be fine! Titanium plates, remember?"

"Makes sense..." He then popped a latch on Donuts armor to check the gun wound he had. "What about you? Your armor isn't even connected properly."

"Number one, I am stronger than I look. Two, this isn't titanium, it's something else... I have no idea what though."

"Well ok then!" Said Doc, popping Donuts armor back in place. "So care to help me?"

"Shure thing."

Crashsite Bravo.

The new republic was investigating the entire battlefield from top to bottom, trying to figure out where everyone went and why they're where so any bodies. "Ma'am, no sign of Felix or the sim troopers. They completely dissapeared." Said a Rebble.

"Sigh* Get back to base." Said Kimball in defeat. "Time to prepare for another Fed attack."

"You heard the woman faggots!" Yelled a gruf voiced soldier. "Return to base! Triple time!" The warthogs started up and all of them begin to move into the caves, where they went a separate way from Jones and headed to base.

"Kimball?" Asked Bitters on the chain gun. "Was this all worth it?"

"I don't even know anymore." She said as they began to descend into the caves.

Seven miles out.

"Please quit staring at me." Said Jones to Lopez as they walked.

"I'm a robot, inside of power armor." Said Lopez. "And your the one with the one eye helmet."

"Fair enough."

Remnant.

"Oz?" Asked Violet as he came in. "Our friends are fine, and Doc can a shure his care will ensure they're safety."

"That's good." Ozpin said before taking a drink. "Do we know where they will be staying?"

"No idea sir." Violet said. "We haven't had extra teams before."

"We do have extra rooms for a reason." Said Glynda. "And they are the perfect size for teams of five."

"After all, we need a team for our friend." Said Ozpin. The elevator opens to reveal Maine in all his glory.

"Grrrrrr." Was Maines way of saying hello. He pulled out a scroll and typed something into it. "You needed me sir?" The scroll said for him.

"Yes." Said Ozpin. "Your previous acquaintances, the Reds and Blues you spoke of?" Maine Nods.

"They, along with agent Washington are here." Violet said. Maine stayed silent until a white AI appeared in front of them, projected from his armor.

"Maine's heart just skipped a beat." Said the AI.

"Charlie?" Asked Glynda.

"Ma'am, seeing them again is bringing back unpredictable memories." Said the male voice of Charlie.

"Well I might want to help then." Said another White AI that projected from Violets armor.

"You shure Zeta?" Asked Violet.

"Indeed!" Said the female voice of Zeta. She transferred herself over to Maine and he calmed down.

"Well then." Said Ozpin. "Shall we go set up their rooms?" He said getting up. They all enter the elevator and leave the tower.
