March 23, 2065, United Federation of America

Location: United States of America

Alexander P. Long, President of the United Federation of America, woke up in the early morning as he heard the loud sound of an alarm clock. He lazily wavering his hand finding the alarm clock until he pressed it to stop. He woke up as he brushed out his hair upward and went out the bed to dress up his red sleepwear robe. When he left the room, he saw his wife, Kasey Wolfin Long, cooking food for breakfast. The food is already on the table. She notices him waking up from the bed and cherry smiles at her husband.

Kasey: Good Morning, honey.

Long: Good Morning, darling.

He said, kissing his wife's cheek. He went to sit down at the dining table.

Long: How's your sleep, dear?

Kasey: I'm fine dear. Just so you know we are awake early while you are still sleeping due to your lot of paperwork.

Long: I am the President of UFA, I have a lot of things to finish off those reports.

Kasey: Like the outside world?

He nodded.

Kasey: Well, you best be prepared today because a lot of things happening pass through weeks.

Long grabbed a newspaper to read while his wife brought food to the table and sat down together.

Long: Seems like the economy is skyrocketing. The businesses are working hard to make products interesting for the customers. Oh, what's this? The upcoming space fleet will start soon. Seems my plan works well.

Kasey: For a president, you sure want people to be more excited for space fleets.

Long: For I know about Atlas, they have failed to achieve going straight to space only the dust unable to survive outside the atmosphere. Yet, they still believe in the advanced kingdom of Remnant.

Kasey: I don't know about you, but soon, this world will be shocked when you make an appearance to them. Though I'm worried that someday war will come.

She goes getting a scrambled egg and puts it on her plate and eats it.

Long: Worry not, dear. The military of the United Federation has many numbers and we are more advanced than other kingdoms. I am full confidence the United Federation will hold if war is declared.

Kasey: Alright, enough about politics. Let's talk about something else. Our daughters. I'm still worried about them.

Long: Is it because they are in the military?

She nodded. Ever since the end of the Second American Civil War or Federation Civil War, the two girls began to grow up and decided to join the military because they wanted to protect the unitary federal nation from threats within or without the nation. Their stepsister, Veronica Garcia Long, attended the military officer academy to reach the top ranks of the military. Due to her excellent results and coordination with rangers during combat against Grimms, White Fangs, and Criminal Syndicates in Vale, Vacuo, and Mistral, she became a three-star general.

Their daughter, Lily P. Long, unlike her stepsister, likely joined the military academy to train hard to become a better fighter than a soldier. When the word came from the academy that she unlocked her semblance during the final test, she was transferred to the Patriot Program Academy, where they trained patriot specialists to combat Grimms and other threats such as huntsmen. At that point, she became an excellent fighter and officially became one of the patriot specialists.

Both Alexander and Kasey try to dissuade them from joining the military because they worry about their safety and fear they might lose their lives one day. Even though Alexander is the president, he tries to reason with them. However, both of their children tell them that they don't want to see a repeat of the tragedy of the Federation Civil War, which claimed so many lives. They believe that joining the military is the only way to prevent such an event from happening again. They also express a desire to see the outside world beyond the different locations in the UFA. Eventually, Alexander and Kasey give up and decide to respect their children's decisions.

But even though they acknowledge their decisions, they both still worry about them. He placed his hand on his wife's hand to calm her tension.

Long: Don't worry about those girls, dear. I have high hopes that they can take care of themselves. After all, they are growing up.

Kasey: I know. But they are still my little girls. I love hugging and kissing their cheeks or forehead so much. It makes me really sad.

She said, acting like a worried mother to her children. Alexander chuckles to see his wife act that way. He gently stroked on top of her hair, making her wolf ears wiggling.

Long: Have faith in them. At least they learn to defend themselves, plus they can see the outside world before I could begin to reveal ourselves.

Kasey: Are you sure it's a good idea? We still have natural resources, especially from space. We can gather them to continue to stabilize our economy.

Long: True. But Faunus from different kingdoms face discrimination by human Remnanists, and the governments aren't doing a darn thing to stop them, so it's up to us to protect their civil rights.

Kasey: I guess so... Speaking of which, is it confusing that our nationality is American? You surely know there are people who weren't born Americans when the UFA was established.

Long: Yeah, it really gets me on my mind. Which is why I spoke to the Congress and changed our nationality to Terrans.

Kasey: That seems better. Now you are asking that Faunus living on this continent will be called Terran-Faunus.

She said, chuckling.

Long: Maybe they should add that too. Now let's eat. I don't want to miss my work as president.

He said as the couples continued eating their breakfast.

...

Area 51 Military Headquarter, Nevada

Command Center

The numbers of military personnel are working on the computers and holographic screens. Both Terrans and Faunus are working together in the room. The personnel using computers and holographic screens are observing the kingdoms of Remnant to see anything usual and coordinate troops and special forces within the kingdoms to conduct missions against any threats there. The upcoming Star fleet event is very important for a nation to bring celebration of stepping into a new era. It also grows motivations and patriotism to the United Federation far better than Remnant kingdoms. The door opens to see 32-years old Fox Faunus woman wearing 3-stars general uniform.

Essentially, the United Federation military officers wear different colors according to the branch. The Army officer wears a darker green uniform, the Navy wears a white uniform, the Air Force wears a dark blue uniform, the Marine Corps wears a dark ceremonial uniform, and Space Expeditionary Navy Force (SENF) officers wear a dark uniform. Unlike other uniforms, she is wearing her own personal uniform, which she made herself, as she holds the rank of 3-star general.

That woman is Veronica Garcia Long, the stepdaughter of the Alexander Long Family and the original daughter of the Garcia family before they were killed by KKK thugs in the Federation Civil War. She is a mature person who is determined to protect her family and her nation from threats within and without. As she walks into the room, military personnel notice her arrival and give her salutes. She returns the salute as they return to their work. She walks towards a personnel who is working on a holographic computer.

UFA Personnel: General, ma'am!

Veronica: At ease. So what's the news about the upcoming event?

UFA Personnel: Ma'am, we have at least 200 ships in this country, on the shattered moon and Mars. Within a month, it will be ready to be sent to the parade.

This brings up a smile for Veronica.

Veronica: That's good, that's good... Now about the situation at kingdoms?

UFA Personnel: According to an informant, the White Fang joined Adam Faction, unaware that Sierra Khan knew about it. They attempted to attack the village, but the marines took care of it and saved the villagers. They are on our side. In Vacuo, the rangers, along with patriot specialists, are protecting the people of Tuff settlement from Grimms and human traffickers. They were able to safely escort them to Coquina.

Veronica: And Vale?

UFA Personnel: We have reported that White Fangs under Adam Taurus have enough supplies from the train. There also that they are engaging one of the villages where both humans and faunus living together away from the kingdom.

Veronica: So they decide to attack there just to recruit Faunus by force, and kill those who try to stop them.

She clenches her fist, feeling hatred toward the White Fang. She may not have forgotten what the school taught her back then, but she now understands more about slavery and racism. She hates the White Fang because they tarnish the image of Faunus by using violence, not only against their enemies but also innocent Faunus who have nothing to do with the organization, causing them to face more discrimination by humans in the kingdoms. She doesn't care if she has to fight against her own brethren. She is a proud woman of the United Federation of America. She was there when she led her men to engage the White Fang attempting to raid one of Vale's settlements, and thankfully, she was able to save most of the people, but unfortunately, she couldn't save a small few of them.

She returned to her reality as she said to her personnel.

Veronica: Who will send them there to stop them?

UFA Personnel: That would be the 35th Delta Regiment.

Veronica: I see...

She smiled.

Veronica: Tell them they have permission to engaged.

UFA Personnel: Yes ma'am.

She's smiling about the 35th Delta Regiment because that's where her sister is a part of the regiment, and she is the regiment captain. Not only that, her sister is also a patriot specialist whose fighting skills are greatly acclaimed by her record. She is the only person she trusts to lead the fight. Her sister is also part of the special forces when needed for her skills in special missions. She puts her hands behind her back, watching the screen.

Veronica: Well sis, seems you are going to the fight again.

Outside the Vale Kingdom

Unknown Village

The village was once a peaceful haven for both humans and Faunus seeking refuge from the kingdom's bickering politics. Then, one day, the White Fang came and raided the village. They killed the militias upon arrival, rounding up the villagers and burning down their homes and businesses. The leader of the White Fang raiding party is a large, muscular male Faunus with cow horns. He wears a mask to cover his face, a symbol of rank within the organization. He wields a war hammer that can transform into a rocket launcher. He walks around, observing the villagers gathered in the center, as he addresses them.

WF Lieutenant: People of this village, we, the White Fang, have come to save you from these human filth. These humans try to brainwash you into thinking that coexistence is possible in the future. But that goal is false, and it's up to us to make this world a better place for Faunuskind. We're here to recruit you. You have the strength for our righteous cause. The White Fang will bring a future for all of us.

The group of Faunus fell into silence as they thought about what he said. One of Faunus' group said.

Faunus village: W-What happens to these humans?

WF Lieutenant: They will be executed for the crimes against Faunuskind.

He said nonchalantly and this caused the human villagers to panic with a few children starting to cry, others cried out for mercy.

An old dog faunus man who is a chief in the village spoke out at him.

Chief Village: You can't do this! You have no right to judge them just because they were humans.

The villagers fell into silence as they looked at their village chief spoking out at WF Lieutenant. The WF foot soldiers pointing their firearms at him as he continues.

Chief Village: We were living alongside each other without acknowledging our differences when our ancestors built these villages years ago. It is true that the majority of the humans living in each kingdom discriminate against Faunus, and I can see that, but these humans are not the same as them. Our village was isolated for years, only surviving from trades to the kingdoms of Vacuo and Vale without facing problems from their dirty politics, and they became ignorant to each other. We've been living for peace, so don't you dare kill these humans, my people, because you want to wipe out humanity. You and your organization are a lost cause destroying that peace!

Few more Faunus stood up backing their leader.

Faunus villager 1: Yeah, that's right!

Faunus villager 2: Leave us alone, you terrorists!

Faunus villager 3: Don't drag us to your crusade!

Then they go in front of the humans to defend them from the White Fangs that are still pointing weapons at them.

WF soldier 1: Why you! Traitors!

WF soldier 2: Betrayers to Faunuskind!

The lieutenant of the insurgent looked at them disappointed, he looked at his men and said.

WF Lieutenant: Make them an example!

The White Fang soldiers readied their firearms, preparing to pull the triggers at them. Then suddenly, one of the White Fang soldiers was shot in the head and fell to the ground.

WF soldier 1: What the!?

WF soldier 2: Man down-

He was shot to the head and fell on the ground.

WF soldier 3: No!

WF lieutenant: Who the hell is shooting at my men!

He shouted. In response, a figure jumped out from a tree and landed between them. The White Fangs, except for a lieutenant, fell back at its appearance. They saw a figure wearing some kind of advanced suit.

Their weapon of choice is a sharpshooter rifle and laser sword.

She makes an appearance as she is just said to the insurgents.

???: The White Fangs are nothing more than extremists who think that they can bring a future for Faunuskind by eradicating all humanity.

WF lieutenant: Wha- You men! Aim at that human!

The White Fang soldiers go around her with guns aiming at her as she continues.

???: While it's true the majority of humans discriminate against Faunus because of their looks, it doesn't mean they have a right to harm the innocents.

The White Fangs are getting closer while aiming at her.

???: Those who are harming the innocent let it be Human or Faunus...

She ready her movement as she slowly grabbed her weapon at her side.

???: Will face justice!

She said as she pulled out a laser sword. The White Fang soldiers fired their guns at her, but she jumped high and went over them. She sliced a few nearby insurgents without hesitation. They were going to engage her when they were under attack by UFA rangers, vanguard knights, and patriot specialists accompanied by a raven dropship and three scorpion gunships. They were also accompanied by Perseus soldiers to aid the military force under the contract of the Perseus Corporation. They engaged the White Fangs as a few insurgents were gunned down. Perseus soldiers engaged them using firearms and exo-suits to crush them. The gunships gunned down the insurgents on the ground. A regiment captain kept slicing the insurgents in her sight until she saw a WF Lieutenant readying his war hammer.

WF Lieutenant: You! You humans will pay for what you've done to Faunuskind!

In response, she suddenly laughed.

???: Human? You are wrong. I am not a human.

She removes her helmet, revealing her face to him. She has short dark hair with wolf ears on her head. That captain was Lily P. Long, the daughter of Alexander and Kasey Long. It's shocking to the lieutenant that he's facing a Faunus.

WF Lieutenant: You're, you're a Faunus!

Lily: That's right! And I don't care about the word you said. To me, you came to these peaceful villages, attacked them and forced them to join your crusade. Now that is the terrorist I'm seeing here. Well, that ends today.

She readied her laser sword to fight him. A lieutenant let out scream as he charged towards her.

WF Lieutenant: You shall pay for your treachery to Faunuskind! Die, traitor!

But unexpectedly, she simply swings her laser sword at him using a samurai technique called nuki tsuke. His aura is depleted and so, he swings another hit at the back. A lieutenant fell on the ground, groaning in pain. He gritted his teeth behind his mask.

WF Lieutenant: You... damn traitor...

Lily: The only traitor I see...

She pulled out a gun and pointed at him.

Lily: Is you.

She fired a bullet at his head, killing him. After that, she turns around to see her units are helping the villagers and rounded up the surviving white fang soldiers to their custody. It's a good thing she was able to save them before they could fire at innocent villagers. She was approached by a village chief as he said to her.

Chief village: Thank you for saving my people. But who are you? Are you from Atlas?

She chuckles.

Lily: No sir. We are not Atlas.

Chief village: Then who are you?

She smiled as she replied.

Lily: We are the United Federation of America and we are here to help.

Meanwhile, unknown to them, they were being watched. A middle-aged man is perched on the branch of a tree, recording everything he sees. When they finish talking to the village chief, he seemingly agrees to keep it a secret and have Perseus troops stay behind for their protection until their village is rebuilt. They board a raven dropship and fly away.

Qrow: Now that something I see today...

He said as he transformed into a crow and flies away in the scene informing to Beacon headmaster.

...

Ozpin Office, Beacon Academy

Ozpin and Glynda are looking at the screens that Qrow recorded when he returned to the academy. They see the unknown group engaging the White Fang without mercy and witnessing a few surviving members surrender to them. They notice the troops that were different from others, and they observe them boarding the dropship and flying away from the scene. Meanwhile, they assist the villagers in rebuilding their homes and provide security from Grimms wandering in the forest.

Ozpin: I must say... This is the third time Qrow sent us about these groups.

Glynda: They killed the White Fangs, but they were able to gather surrendering members into their custody. And by the looks of it, they wear military uniforms that are more advanced than Atlas.

Ozpin: It seems like we have a third party that possesses military weapons and equipment. Although I'm so curious about that faunus girl wearing white armor suit.

He said as he stared at Lily Long who finished off an insurgent lieutenant with a bullet to the head.

Glynda: She seems to act like a huntsman. But whoever they are, they are well kept secrets from kingdoms, especially to the villagers who are indebted to them for saving their lives.

Ozpin: First the attack of White Fang in Mistral, then providing protection of the settlers from Grimms or human traffickers, and now, this group saving the lives of the White Fangs. How interesting.

Glynda: Though I condone them of killing them, they sure know military training. Ozpin, these aren't just ordinary militia.

Ozpin: Which is why we must know more about them and what their intentions are. We must not be sure if they are friendly or not.

Glynda: Do you think Ironwood will know this?

He shook his head and replied.

Ozpin: No. He might just jump in and engage them with his soldiers. I want to prevent bloodshed between them. Besides, we are having the upcoming Vytal Festival. Until then, we continue watching them until they decide to reveal themselves.

Glynda: You really think so? And what if they come back again?

He drank a mug of coffee and said,

Ozpin: Then we sent a team of huntsmen to find them. I'm sure they will talk if they have a chance. After all, this is something that could stand a chance against her if these people are on our side.

Glynda: I pray you are right, Ozpin. If not, then we might have difficult hands with them here.

He drank a mug of coffee again.

Ozpin: I know I'm right, Glynda. I know I'm right.
