Remnant; Time: 2017, August 13th, 3:30 A.M. Location: Continent of Sanus; Beacon Academy Landing Platform 3.
——
As the massive CH-53P Stealth Stallion touched down on the landing platform, The roar of the rotors gradually faded, replaced by the soft hum of the early morning air. The vibrant colors of Beacon Academy came into view, The iconic structure standing tall against the clear sky, a beacon of hope & safety amidst the chaos they had just escaped.
Sterling stepped off the helicopter, The adrenaline from the journey still coursing through him. He looked around, Taking in the familiar sights of the academy, feeling a mix of relief & determination. They had made it back, But their work was far from over.
"Alright, Everyone... Let's get a headcount!" Sterling called out, His voice echoing across the platform. The team began to disembark, And he could see the relief on their faces as they stepped onto the solid ground of Beacon Academy.
Harley hopped off the helicopter with an exaggerated flourish, Spinning her bat in the air. "What a ride! I love a good adventure, But I think I'm ready for some real fun now!" She grinned, Her eyes sparkling with mischief.
Sterling started calling out names. "Ruby Rose, Yang Xiao Long, Weiss Schnee, Pyrrha Nikos, Blake Belladonna, Li Ren, Jane Arc, And Nora Valkyrie." With everyone answering with a "Here" all safe & sound.
Sterling then called out three extra names. "Kara Zar-El, Harley Quinn, And Buruma Bulma Brief." Again everyone answered with a "Here" but Harley she answered with a "Here! Puddin~" but at least all are safe & sound.
As the last echoes of "Here!" faded into the crisp morning air, A wave of relief washed over Sterling. He glanced around the landing platform, Taking stock of his team; Their faces reflected a mixture of exhaustion & determination. They had successfully navigated the chaos and danger of their previous mission, And now they stood ready to face whatever awaited them at Beacon Academy.
"Great! Everyone's accounted for," Sterling said, His voice steady & encouraging. "Now, We need to regroup & discuss our next steps. We've got a lot to do, And we can't let our guard down just yet."
With that, Sterling strolled alongside everyone towards the cozy sanctuary of Team RWBY's S. JNPR dormroom. The hallway buzzed with anticipation as laughter & chatter echoed off the walls.
For Harley, Bulma, And Kara, a smaller dorm room awaited them just across the way—a charming space that felt like a sister dormroom. Its walls were painted in soft hues, radiating warmth & comfort, while the doorframe invited them into this intimate nook away from home, a place where dreams & friendships would blossom.

Kara stepped inside, Her eyes wide with curiosity as she took in the space. "It's lovely! Thanks for arranging this!" She smiled at Sterling, Her appreciation evident.

Harley, Meanwhile, plopped down onto one of the beds, her bat resting beside her. "I'm claiming this one! It's got the best view of the window!" She declared, Her infectious energy lighting up the room.
Sterling chuckled, Enjoying the lively atmosphere. "Just remember, This isn't a permanent stay. We'll need to keep an eye out for any Grimm activity while we're here."
"Of course!" Harley replied, Her tone playful. "I'll keep my bat ready for any surprise guests!" With the team starting to settle in, Sterling felt a sense of accomplishment.
"Well, This Dormroom is smaller than my personal team's; This will be fine for you girls. And… Harley no fight! I mean it, I'll even make a suit for you, or a new weapon if that's what you want." Sterling said, With Harley jumping in excitement.
Harley's eyes sparkled with excitement at the mention of a new weapon. "A suit? Oh, Puddin', You know how to get a girl's heart racing!" She clapped her hands together, Her enthusiasm was contagious. "I want something flashy! Maybe something that can shoot confetti Or have a built-in rubber chicken launcher!"
Bulma, Still rummaging through the drawers, turned to Harley with a grin. "I think I can help with that! A bit of engineering mixed with your… Unique taste could result in something truly spectacular!"
Sterling let out a soft chuckle, The sound mixing playfully with the lighthearted banter around him. A comforting warmth spread through his chest, Filling him with a sense of camaraderie. "Just take a deep breath & unwind for a bit," Sterling said, His voice steady & reassuring.
"Beacon Academy is as safe & sound as you can get for a school…" He added, Glancing around at the vibrant surroundings, where laughter & the hum of activity enveloped them in a cozy embrace.
As the laughter & chatter of the academy filled the air, Sterling felt a sense of belonging wash over him. He watched as Harley and Bulma continued to brainstorm their ideas for new gadgets, Their excitement was palpable.

As the team unpacked their belongings, Laughter & Chatter echoed against the walls, an inviting harmony of camaraderie. However, The tranquility was short-lived, as nagging responsibilities loomed overhead. Just like before, Their moment of respite was eclipsed by the weight of expectations and upcoming challenges that awaited outside their haven.
With spirits high & determination burning bright, They braced themselves for the adventures ahead, ready to face whatever trials awaited them in their new home. The Team Announcements. The Team had now seen that the room was spacious, With three bunk beds lining one wall & two normal beds.
To the left, A sturdy wall rises, creating a sense of enclosure, while a half wall behind the stylish L-shaped couch adds dimension to the space. The inviting seating arrangement is complemented by eight sleek desks, Each perfectly positioned for productivity.
As you move into the common area, You'd be greeted by the warmth of two luxurious L-shaped couches that beckon you to relax. Nestled between them are two elegantly designed tables, And dominating the room is an impressive 80-inch ThinTV, promising an immersive viewing experience that captivates all who gather.
"Huh… You know, It's better seeing the Dormroom the second time. Tho, We were here for a few minutes last time." Sterling said to his team, In their dormroom.
Ruby, Yang, And Blake lounged comfortably on the left side of the L-shaped couches, Their laughter merging with the cozy atmosphere. Across the room, Weiss sat elegantly on the bottom far right corner of the bunk beds, her posture poised yet relaxed, a hint of mischief in her eyes. Beside her, Nora nestled into the soft blankets in the middle of the bunk beds, her bright energy radiating as she animatedly chatted away. Up above, Ren occupied the top bunk, looking down with a serene expression, the warm glow of the room reflecting off the wooden frames, creating an inviting space filled with camaraderie & friendship.
To the right, Pyrtha & Jane were nestled together on the plush, inviting L-shaped couches, their laughter and ease filling the space. The sunlight streamed in, Casting a warm glow over their relaxed poses, as they lounged comfortably with soft cushions supporting their backs, creating a scene of serene contentment.

Sterling couldn't help but smile as he watched his friends interact, Their spirits high despite the uncertainties that lay ahead. It was moments like these that made all the battles worth fighting; The bonds they formed & the memories they created were what truly mattered.
"Hey, Everyone!" Ruby called, Her voice cutting through the chatter as she leaned forward, excitement lighting up her features. "Since we've time before school starts, How about we brainstorm some ideas for movie night? We need to make it epic!"
"Absolutely!" Yang replied, Her lilac eyes sparkling with enthusiasm. "Mmm… How about a movie from my old world?" Sterling asked, Then added. "Like 2012? Or Battle: Los Angeles?, Maybe Godzilla 2014?" Sterling said, Then paused remembering they had never heard of that stuff.
"The Summary of 2012 is, Earth's billions of inhabitants are unaware that the planet has an expiration date. With the warnings of an American scientist (Chiwetel Ejiofor), world leaders begin secret preparations for the survival of select members of society. When the global cataclysm finally occurs, failed writer Jackson Curtis tries to lead his family to safety as the world starts falling apart.
The Summary of Battle: Los Angeles, For many years, humans have reported various UFO sightings around the world, fueling speculation about the existence of life on other worlds. In 2011, mankind learns the truth the hard way when alien invaders attack. One by one, the world's great cities fall, leaving Los Angeles as the battleground for humanity's last stand. It's up to a Marine staff sergeant (Aaron Eckhart) and his platoon to draw a line in the sand against a powerful enemy unlike any previously encountered.
And the Summary of Godzilla 2014 is, Ford Brody, a Navy bomb expert, has just reunited with his family in San Francisco when he is forced to go to Japan to help his estranged father, Joe. Soon, both men are swept up in an escalating crisis when Godzilla, King of the Monsters, arises from the sea to combat malevolent adversaries that threaten the survival of humanity. The creatures leave colossal destruction in their wake, as they make their way toward their final battleground: San Francisco." Sterling finished summarizing to Ruby & Whoever is listening.
As Sterling wrapped up his summaries, The room fell silent momentarily as his teammates absorbed the information. Ruby's eyes were wide with excitement, And it was clear she was already envisioning scenes from the movies he had described.
"Whoa, That sounds intense!" Ruby exclaimed, Her voice bubbling with enthusiasm. "I want to see the world fall apart & then come back together! It's like a giant adventure!"
"Right?" Sterling smiled, Enjoying her enthusiasm. "They have epic battles and incredible special effects. Plus, It's fun to see how different stories portray humanity's fight against overwhelming odds."
"Count me in for that!" Yang chimed in, her competitive spirit ignited. "I love a good fight scene! But I'm also down for some comedy. We need balance, Ya know?"
Blake, Whi had been listening quietly, nodded her agreement. "It's important to have a mix. Some laughs can relieve the tension, Especially with everything going on outside."
"I'm all for action & adventure," Pyrrha added, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "But maybe we could also include something a bit lighter—a classic comedy to lighten the mood after all the planning we've been doing."
Harley opens Team RWBY S. JNPR's Dormroom, And quickly jumps onto an L-Shaped Couch, her excitement infectious. "Oh, I love that one! We should definitely have a lineup Is say Godzilla is next!"
"Alright, It sounds like we have a solid list," Sterling said, feeling the energy in the room. "We've got 2012, Godzilla 2014, And Battle: Los Angeles. Let's make sure we have snacks for each genre—popcorn for the action, cookies for the comedy, and maybe some spicy chips for the explosions!"
"Snacks are essential!" Nora exclaimed, Her enthusiasm bubbling over. "I can bake cookies & bring some candies! I'll make sure they're extra sweet!"
"I'll whip up some caramel popcorn & buttery popcorn!" Ruby added, Practically bouncing on her feet. "And we can't forget the soda!"
"Let's make it a potluck of sorts," Bulma suggested. "Everyone can bring something to share. I can even whip up some energy bars to keep us fueled through the night."
"Perfect! The more, The merrier!" Sterling exclaimed, Feeling the camaraderie that filled the room. "Everyone should be able to contribute to the night, Remember tomorrow is a free day too!"
As they finalized their plans, Sterling felt a comforting warmth spread through him. The laughter, The shared excitement, and the unity of their mission made him feel invincible. This was why they fought so hard against the darkness—they were a family, and together, they were strong.
"Alright, Everyone, let's finish our preparations and make sure we're ready for a fun night," Sterling encouraged, His voice steady & filled with determination. "Once we're done with our tasks, We can kick back & enjoy the movies together."
With the plans set in motion, The atmosphere became charged with anticipation. As the team split off to gather their supplies & finalize their preparations, Sterling felt a rush of adrenaline. He was grateful for the laughter & the light-hearted banter that echoed through the dorm room—it was a necessary reprieve from the looming threat of the school…
Once the team was adequately prepared, They gathered again in the common area, snacks in hand & excitement radiating from every corner.
"Okay, Is everyone ready?" Sterling & Ruby asked, With Ruby's silver eyes sparkling with enthusiasm & Sterling's Slate Blue Eyes.
"Ready!" Everyone chimed in unison, Their spirits high as they settled onto the couches & gathered around the massive 80-inch ThinTV, which now felt like a portal to thrills and adventure.
"Let's kick off the night with 2012," Sterling announced as he grabbed the remote. The screen lit up, Illuminating the eager faces of his friends.
As the movie began, the opening scenes unfolded with stunning visuals of the Naga Deng Copper Mine in India, setting the stage for the impending chaos.
"2009; Naga Deng Copper Mine, India," The screen displayed, Accompanied by the sounds of workers bustling about, oblivious to the fate that awaited them.
"Hey, hey, watch out," A character warned, And the group leaned in closer, their eyes glued to the screen.
"Welcome, My friend!" One character greeted another. The excitement in the room was palpable as everyone became absorbed in the film.
"I hope you're hungry, Adrian," one of the characters said, prompting giggles among the team. "I made that fish curry you love."
"Ugh, Fish curry?" Yang grimaced, Her expression playfully exaggerated. "I'd rather face a pack of Grimm than eat that!"
"This curry is probably better than the food at that last mission," Blake remarked, Earning a laugh from the others.
The film's characters continued to engage in discussions about the nature of the neutrinos & the scientific implications of the solar eruptions. The weight of their words was not lost on the group watching.
"Can you believe they're saying the neutrinos are causing a physical reaction?" Ruby exclaimed, Her voice laced with excitement. "That's insane!"
"Yeah, But it's also terrifying," Pyrrha added, Her brow furrowing slightly. "If they can affect the Earth's core, What does that mean for us?"
"That's highly unlikely, Like one in a trillion of chance of it happening," Sterling said to Pyrrha.
As the characters on screen began to discuss the potential for global catastrophe, the tension in the room grew. The sound of the film was punctuated by gasps and murmurs as the characters discovered that their time was running out.
"Is anyone else getting anxious?" Nora asked, Her voice a mix of excitement and apprehension.
"Yeah, It's just a little…" Kara replied, Her blue eyes wide as she watched the screen. "It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion."

The film shifted to a scene where the president was addressing the nation about the impending disaster. "My fellow Americans, This will be the last time I address you. As you know, Catastrophe has struck our nation, and the world. I wish I could tell you we could prevent the coming destruction. We cannot. Today, None of us are strangers. Today, we are one family stepping into the darkness together," He said, His tone somber.
"Wow, That's heavy," Weiss murmured, Her normally composed demeanor softened by the weight of the scene. "It's a lot to take in."
"Yeah, It's like he's accepting their fate," Yang added.
As the film continued, The tension mounted with scenes of chaos & destruction. The characters scrambled to find safety, Their fear palpable. The group was silent, Engrossed in the unfolding drama, their own hearts racing in response to the adrenaline coursing through the film.
"Look! They're escaping!" Ruby shouted, Pointing at the screen as the characters frantically boarded planes in a desperate attempt to flee the chaos. "We need to be just as ready if anything happens here!"
"Exactly!" Bulma added, Her scientific mind racing with ideas. "We should have contingency plans in place, Just like they're doing in the film. We can fortify our defenses even further if needed."
