Ozpin stood waiting on the same building that was being used as a temporary camp. Earlier they received a desperate plea from some women on their Scrolls. Who ever it was states that her friends needed help, the Grimm were closing in on them. Of course moments before that they had received word from one of the Bullhead pilots that he had seen some kind of monster, in some shade of gold armor, roaming the streets of Mountain Glenn.

Not long after another report saying that the same monster was fighting the Grimm with a man in some kind of green armor. Right after that they got the plea for help and after some thought and discussion, about the two coming in unarmed, he had all nearby Huntsman and Huntresses help. Ozpin had Oobleck go over in a Bullhead to pick these two up.

Now he just waited and gazed at the crashed ship as Bullheads circled the area. And Huntsman and Huntresses tried to keep the Grimm at bay until they got what they needed. Of course Ozpin didn't know what they needed. Were they looking for answers? Survivors? Someone to call and say they lost their ship? Ozpin did not know. He would have pondered on this some more if it weren't for the sounds of a approaching Bullhead from behind him.

Sure enough Ozpin turned around and saw a Bullhead approaching. Something was a little odd though. It looked to be lurching, as if it had a lot of weight in it. If anything it was approaching at half its original speed. Thankfully it didn't crash or make a sudden course deviation. It managed to land with no incident.

Ozpin places his cane in front of him, placed both his hands on top of it, and waited.

The Bullheads door opened a second later and the first to step out was surprisingly Port.

"Port, what are you doing in there? I sent Oobleck and a few others to pick these two up. Not you my good friend."

"Ah Ozpin." Port had his usual chipper voice and mustache covered smile. "I was in the area and decided that it be best if I help out. A good protector of humanity helps all regardless of appearances."

What an odd choice of words. At least the last bit about appearances.

Right after Port hopped out Oobleck who looked to be carrying some very strange weaponry.

"No time!" He said right away before anyone could say anything. "I must document this!" Oobleck dashed by Ozpin with his unnatural coffee induced speed and layed out the weapons. Without warning he pulled out a notebook and began to frivolously examine and take notes.

Ozpin took a guess that these were the weapons the two they saved had. Odd, two looked like something from the crashed ship and the other two looked otherworldly. At least the rifle shapes one, the other one looked like some kind of hilt or grip.

Speaking of the two Ozpin returned his attention to the Bullhead just as the first stepped off it.

As the report said he wore some shade of green armor. What it failed to mention was his height. He had to be over 7ft tall and looked very strong. Then again it could just be the armor. It's a miracle he even fit in the Bullhead. This one looked around for a few seconds, his face hidden behind a visor. His head turned to Ozpin and he walked forward until Port told him to stop.

"I am afraid." Port began. "That I must ask you not to get too close to Ozpin, security reasons."

This tall man looked to Port. "I understand." He spoke, and how could Ozpin even describe that voice? Old? Rough? Strange? Whatever it was it was certainly a strange voice to hear.

Then came the second one. At first all Ozpin saw was the armor, as described, and that was it. However when the figure, who looked to be a tad bit taller than the first, stepped into the sunlight Ozpin couldn't help but take a few very small steps back.

First came the head, which looked like some kind of a serpent head, then he saw that this thing had some kind of mandibles as a mouth. Then the arms which looked normal to the hands which had four fingers. Two of which looked like thumbs and the other two index fingers. Then the legs which Ozpin couldn't even describe properly. All he may have been able to say was alien like. This thing walked with its head leaning forward as if it had a hunchback, but that didn't feel like the case.

Trailing behind this thing was the Huntsman and Huntresses which had their weapons trained solely on the second figure. They looked scared, some were sweating, others looked like they were shaking and trying to keep it under control.

Ozpin had seen many things, in this body and many, many others, but this thing didn't feel unnatural like the Grimm. It just felt alien.

This thing stopped by the other green armored one and the two waited.

Ozpin, realizing that he would have to start the talking, took a second to come back to his senses. He cleared his throat before he began to speak. Just how to begin? The only way he knew how.

"Hello. My name is Professor Ozpin, Headmaster of Beacon Academy. May I ask your names?"

The golden one said nothing and stood their. Waiting.

The green one looked to his right shoulder. At first it looked like he was looking at Port but that didn't feel like the case. It was like he was listening to someone. A moment later he looked back at Ozpin.

"You may call me Master Chief."

Not a name. Ozpin knew that much. It was a rank, he knew that due to studying Atlas military years ago. Better than nothing, better than calling him the green one.

As for the other one he looked Ozpin dead in the eye and spoke.

"You may call me Arbiter." The fact that this Arbiter could speak came as a small shock. It didn't look like it could speak yet it did. At least it speaking showed that it was more than some monster. Then again Salem could talk yet she was very much a monster, so Ozpin didn't let his guard down.

"Well." Ozpin gestured to Port and Oobleck who were both doing their thing. Oobleck still making notes and Port standing quietly to the side. "This is Port and Oobleck, two colleagues of mine."

Well Ozpin didn't know how to continue this conversation after that. And it didn't look like this Master Chief or Arbiter were going to talk either. Once again Ozpin took the lead.

"Forgive me for asking this… Arbiter." The person in question looked at Ozpin. "Are you some kind of…." How to put it lightly? "Mutated Faunas?" That was the lightest he could do. If Arbiter was offended he did not show it, at least not in body language.

"No. I am not some animal." His voice in the other hand sounded a little peeved.

"Oh… forgive me." Ozpin looked to Port who shrugged silently. Well this was awkward. "May I ask what you are?"

"I am a Sangheili." Arbiter began. "Or, in human tongue, an Elite."

That didn't help. Ozpin had never heard of such things. Was he some ancient being of Remnant? Some failed Grimm?

"I am sorry but I am not familiar with these names." That was all Ozpin could say.

Arbiter and Chief looked at each other as if confused. So Ozpin wasn't the only one. That was somewhat of a relief. Of course that just meant that more questions would need to be asked. And right then and there he could think of only one question to ask.

"That ship." Ozpin nudged his head the crashed ship. "Did you arrive in it?"

Chief was the one to speak.

"Yes. The Dawns systems went haywire and malfunctioned. We crashed here, wherever here is."

Ozpin felt that was odd. Who would be running a flight here? Not even Atlas could safely fly above this city.

"Here? You crashed in Mountain Glenn, not too far from Vale. Where, might I ask, are you from? Atlas?"

"Atlas?" Chief sounded confused. "Vale? Mountain Glenn? I do not recognize these names? What planet are we on?"

Planet? That was a odd thing to say. It only made this whole thing seem quiet strange, well stranger.

"Planet?" Ozpin had no real way to answer expect state the obvious. "You are on Remnant. Where else could you be?" Suddenly it started to come together. What if these two and the ship were not from this world? The next words only made it all the more obvious.

"Remnant?" Chief looked to Arbiter who looked down as if thinking. Then he looked back up, turning his head toward Chief. "If the Covenant ever knew about this world, which I feel is unlikely, then I do not know of it."

Covenant? Now what are they talking about? More questions that needed answers.

"To what are you referring Arbiter?" Ozpin asked cutting the two off. Chief once again looked to his shoulder as if listening to someone. He spoke a moment later.

"Before we answer that I have a question for you." Chief stated and Ozpin tilted his head to the side, wondering what he may want to know.

"Very well. Ask and I shall see if I can answer it."

"Does the term UNSC mean anything to you?"

"No." Ozpin stated simply. In fact that was to be one of his questions, maybe now he would get an answer. He didn't. He was met with more questions.

"ONI? Inner Colonies? Outer Colonies? The Insurrection?"

All these things didn't sound familiar at all. Ozpin began to think that his earlier thought was right, that these two were not from this world.

"No. I am afraid have never heard of such things."

Again Chief and Arbiter looked at each other, very confused.

"Back to my question." Ozpin began. "What were you referri-"

"Ozpin." Port cut in. "We have a problem. The Grimm have started to gather in strength, our people are not able to hold them back. They are asking that we pull back for now." It sounded like their chance to talk was gone, the Grimm were a threat and should any Nevermore show up they would be in the open.

Ozpin sighed.

"Very well. Call everyone back to Beacon." Ozpin said to Port who pulled out his Scoll. Then to Oobleck. "Oobleck, finish up. We are leaving. Don't worry we will return." Oobleck looked up from his notes and then at the weapons on the table. He quickly gathered the weapons in his arms haphazardly and walked past Ozpin.

"I am taking these." Was all he said. Oobleck cleary would not take no for an answer so Ozpin let him take the weapons.

"As for you two." He returned his attention to Chief and Arbiter who stood there and watched this all happen. Ozpin didn't actually know what to do with them. He couldn't just leave them here, he wanted to know more about what what is going on. However taking them had the possibility of leading to a scene, he felt that they couldn't just disembark at Beacons landing zone. They would have to land directly in front of the CCT tower and even then that would draw attention. Ozpin weighed his options and went with the best choice. "Load up onto the Bullhead, just don't try anything."

Chief nodded and turned around, Arbiter trailing after him, and the two got on the Bullhead. Once again those aboard it had their weapons raises. Ozpin would have told them to lower their weapons to make the situation less tense, but he felt that wouldn't help at all. So he let them keep doing what they were doing.

Once everyone was settled Ozpin took one last look at the crashed ship. The Dawn as Chief called it. He wondered what mysteries lay aboard it, what knowledge it could bring them, as well as what these two would bring them.

War? Peace? A war beyond this world?

Ozpin preferred the second, but he knew that he should not get his hopes up.

He sighed and boarded the Bullhead. Standing by Port and Oobleck, next to Chief and Arbiter, while their escort was on the other side of them.

As the Bullhead took off it lurched yet again. As if it was heavy. Ozpin wondered what could have been causing this. Could it be a malfunction? Or maybe it was…

Ozpin looked at Chief and Arbiter. Wondering just how much their armor weighed.

Back at Beacon Teams RWBY and JNPR were sitting in the cafeteria. Not eating breakfast or anything, they already ate, but were acting grouchy. The cause? That quake that happened last night. Or as the news put it a crashed ship. Whatever it was it woke everyone up late at night, and after that it was hard to go back to sleep. There was excitement and fear, maybe some adrenaline, as both teams wanted to know what was going on. After they saw the news they were too awake to sleep, that was a mistake as now they all sat there dreary eyed and yawning.

Even Nora was hardly talking. Of course she was napping and snoring a little, which kept everyone else from napping.

Most of them were probably wondering why they even got up in the first place.

Especially Ruby.

After what happened yesterday, the scene in Ports room and with Weiss yelling then apologizing to her, she stayed up as late as she could studying. Wanting to show that she deserves to be here not just because she beat up a few baddies that were robbing a Dust Store. She studied hard and just when she was about to get shuteye the ship crashed. Of course school was canceled the next day, making her whole night of studying feel like a waste of time. What's more, because their bunk beds weren't exactly up to code Weiss and Blake were almost crushed. Enough said. It's a miracle her team even decided to put them back up, thought she felt as though she would suffer the wrath of Wiess for a while now.

"Hey Ruby." It was Jaune who broke the silence.

"Yeah Jaune?" Ruby said weakly as she tried to lift her head off the table but she couldn't.

"Got anything you want to do?" He replied.

"I got nothing. Guys?" Ruby turned he head to her teammates.

"No…." Weiss said and started to doze before shaking her head to try and keep awake.

"So tired…" Was all Blake said who was currently using her book as a pillow while she lay her head on the table.

Last was Yang. Who was currently trying to sleep with her head supported on her hands. Yet she responded. "I have no idea, I am too…. tuckered out."

If that was supposed to be a pun it was very bad, even for a Yang pun.

"Nothing." Ruby said to Jaune, not even bothering to move her head or open her eyes. "You?"

"Nope. As you can see even Nora is being relatively quiet." So he said as she snored loudly. Ren looked to be sleeping while sitting upright and Pyrrha had her head on the table.

"Great…" Ruby started to doze off. Then came the loud smack right by her head.

"AHHH!" Everyone yelled simultaneously and woke up.

Standing at the end of their table was Glynda Goodwitch with her crop on the table. She had a stern look as usual.

"Students the cafeteria is not a library, I suggest you take this day to rest in your rooms." She said and looked everyone of them in the eye. None challenged her.

"Righto, let's go." Ruby said and managed to get up. Everyone else followed suit and made their way to their rooms.

A few people were leaning on others.

Pyrrha was holding onto Jaunes arm and laid her head against his shoulder with her eyes closed, using him as support.m. Jaune was either too tired too notice or just didn't care. Nora was actually on Rens back sleeping, Ren didn't look bothered at all and just rolled with it.

As for her team Blake was so tired that Yang was dragging her by the foot to the room. As for Weiss she looked to be the only one who tried to look distinguished. Though there was the occasional near fall here and there. Ruby just lagged behind, slouched over, trying not to pass out.

When they got out of sight Glynda sighed. She too was having trouble with this day as she had to keep an eye on all the students, it was a tiresome task but one that had to be done. Then again she had to wake up extra early due to the explosion last night. So she was also a bit grouchy. She prayed that this day would not get any worse than it already was.

Then her Scroll rang.

She answered it upon seeing that it was Ozpin.

"Hello? Yes everything is fine. Get ready for what? What do you mean we may need a room to act as a temporary holding room? If you found people who were in that explosion then you should get them medical attention, even if they don't need it." Glynda paused and listened. "Very well I will have it set up, but if this is a waste of time then we will have to have a talk." Then she hung up on him.

She didn't mean to sound like she did. Yet this day was just making her like this.

She calmed herself and then went off to find a place where she could hold their guests once they arrived.

Of course she wondered who could Ozpin have possibly found that needed to be held in a room.

"Disembark if you would my friends."

Port said as the doors opened.

Chief and Arbiter both stepped off the Bullhead and looked around.

Their ride was a quiet one as it was before they met Ozpin. It was a tense atmosphere on both occasions. Yet nothing had happened.

Before the two of them was some kind of tower. They stood in the middle of some crossroads which had paths that lead in every direction. There were some buildings in the local area as well, what looked to be dorms of some sorts.

"Oobleck." Ozpin called to the green haired man who was still holding Chiefs and Arbiters weapons in his arms. "You and Glynda will meet me in my office when she has found a place for our guests to stay. Port, when Glynda finds a place you will take our guests there and keep an eye on them. Until she tells you where to go just make sure they stay out of sight.C

"Will do." Oobleck said and zoomed off to the tower.

"Righto Ozpin." Port said with a smile and turned to Chief and Arbiter. "Come with me, we shall head to my room until our friend finds a place for you two." With that Port made a 180 degree turn and set off.

The Bullhead lifted off, presumably taking the Huntsman and Huntresses Huntresses back to the Dawn.

Chief and Arbiter trailed behind Port. Both keeping an eye out for anything or anyone that could be either useful or a threat.

It wasn't long until they entered a building and walked down seemingly empty halls. Chiefs motion tracker however was picking up movement in the building. Most likely people in the buildings. There wasn't that many however.

"Well seeing as this may take a while allow me to tell my many tales of heroism." Port said and started to talk.

Neither Chief or Arbiter listened to him as he talked, but he just wouldn't stop talking. He kept on going and going even when they entered his classroom and then stood there. He just kept talking and talking and talking. It all sounded like nonsense to be honest and if Chief didn't have his years of discipline he would have probably walked out of the room. Arbiter looked very much the same yet unlike Chief he couldn't hide his face. At some point they took a seat and just waited and waited. Trying to tune out Ports voice.

Thankfully his device rang making him stop and look down at it.

"Oh would you look at that, Glynda is ready." Port said and took a look at it before looking at Chief and Arbiter. "Come we must go, follow me." Port stated and as he walked up the stairs to the door if his classroom he started to continue whatever tale he was talking about before.

However he was cut off when the door opened before him and standing there was a girl in a red hood and cape. She looked very tired. Portz eyes went wide and he went stiff. Chief would have jumped out of sight but he was too late.

"Port…." She began and started to drift into sleep before slapping herself to wake up. "Do we still have to turn in that work for today? Or do we get a pa-" She stopped when she saw Chief and Arbiter who were standing behind Port. Chief on Ports right and Arbiter on his left.

At least Arbiter used to be there.

The girl looked between the two and rubbed her eyes. When she opened them Arbiter was gone but Chief was still there.

"Wait. Weren't there just three of you?" The girl said looking around.

"Um…" Port looked behind him to see Chief but not Arbiter. Chief shrugged and waited. He knew what Arbiter had done, when the girl rubbed her eyes he had activated his cloaking ability and backed away. He could tell as his motion tracker was showing dots all over the place. Then they stopped, meaning he was no longer cloaked. Chief saw his dot somewhere behind him and didn't turn around lest he look suspicious.

After a few seconds Port was able to answer her. "No my dear Miss Rose. It is just me and my friend here. You look very tired dear, go get some sleep. That assignment can wait until tomorrow."

This Miss Rose nodded quietly and began to walk off until she asked one last question. "Who is your friend?" She turned her head to face the two.

"Oh… umm…." Port looked at Chief and seemed to get an idea. "This is an old Huntsman friend of mine. He and I fought together against many Grimm." Port stepped by Chief and put his arm behind his back like they were old pals. He would have put his arm over Chiefs shoulder but he was too tall. Chief looked at Port as he did this.

"Play along." Cortana said to Chief, suddenly cutting radio silence. Chief had wondered where she had been. After their first talk with Ozpin she went radio silent. Saying that she would be back and just had to monitor a few things.

Thankfully Chief didn't have to play along as Port continued to speak. "Would you like to our great tales?" He said and Miss Rose looked like she knew what that would entail for her eyes went wide and she backed up. The once sleepy girl looked wide awake.

"No. No… I need to get some rest and tell everyone that there is no need to turn in our work today. Besides his stories may not be as…. great as yours. Okay bye!" She dashes off. Literally took off in a split second. Oddly enough she left rose petals behind.

Port sighed in relief and turned around, looking for Arbiter.

"Where is he!?" He asked looking at Chief.

"Behind you." Chief replied and Port turned to see Arbiter Arbiter right behind him.

"How did yo-" Port was cut off by Arbiter.

"This is not the time or place. Should another child appear I may not be able to hide as quickly." Arbiter stated and Port hummed to himself.

"Very well, we will continue our conversation later. Until then let's go see what Glynda has found for you two." Port smiled and set off. Leading the two once again.

Both Chief and Arbiter began to wonder where could they stay that no one would go to. This was a Academy after all meaning that people would be everywhere. Just where could these people possibly put them?

I just can't keep my word can I?

Ah well. I will make only one promise. No matter how long it takes (hopefully not that long) I will finish this story. At least up to Volume 3. That's the plan for all mys stories. Go up to volume 3 then stop to plan. It may take time. After all I am no Coeur Al'Aran.

Okay enough rambling. Let's go back to rambling.

As you can see no action here in this chapter. Things will get into a steady flow though. Don't you worry.

Also here is a random thing of the day. This is something that I will be doing for every story of mine.

Today I was playing Grimm Eclipse on my Xbox. And I met this partially drunk guy. Not drunk to a point where he spouts random insulting things. Just drunk enough to a point where he spouts hilarious things.

That is all.

Until Next Time!

Which is hopefully soon!
