With a republic gunship flying from the village that was saved from the Grimm attack, the locals and new comers to this planet felt a change coming.

"This was another settlement that was attacked in this way in Vale." Specialist scheen spoke to Qrow who was in the same mindset as they watched their new guest riding back home. "If it's repeated it's not luck, there's more at play." Ezra responded to the specialist thoughts she said out loud, "what do you mean?" She asked looking at the armored figure looking over the landscape with the few others that rode with their long guns slung on their backs while holding onto the handhelds with Qrow and the students. "If they have patterns just like any animal they'd be more predictable, right?" The main trooper that has been asking her questions about the Grimm she hasn't considered at all."mount Glenn." Qrow interrupteing the conversation, "how so?", "I've read the reports that the Grimm were overwhelming the defenses and my niece and her teammates found out the white Fang have had operations held there even creating a breach in the defenses of Vale itself."as the ragged man has seen his fair share of horror and depravity by Fanues and human alike. "Sounds like these White Fang have bad rap sheet?" The female armored trooper asked looking at the specialist and old crow, "they're terrorist now, they started out as protestors and began to become violent and some factions want humanity erased." Scheene responded with venom remembering how they've tried to murder her family multiple times and even try to look into what captured White Fang members had told her and Ironwood. With the hum of the engines the couple even under their helmets looked at each other and understood something bigger was going on. Their time in the rebellion had shown them such groups as Saw Gerarras Partisans who killed anyone that was deemed "imperial", that included civilians too.

Ezra and Sabine looked to each other processing the new information about this planet as if they could see each other's faces through their helmets they just understood something was building. "Another war this one far more hidden." By their postures. Qrow and winter observed the two armored figures amongst the others the two carried authority and experience but about all the armored personnel they've seen carried the experience to lead on their own or as teams, truly a adaptable and very dangerous opponent.

The kingdom of Vale came into sight as they traversed over another mountain hugging the tree lines and Vale in all its glory protected by a fleet of Atlas newest battleships. "Unidentified shuttle identity yourselves or be destroyed." Was transmitted towards the troop carrier heading toward Beacon Academy, "let me." Winter requested towards the pair and the one in multi cam nodded towards her giving her the approval to proceed. "This Is Specialist Schnee and Training class of Beacon Academy we got a lift from unknowns that have no hostile intentions." Winter even exhausted requested in her fullest authority, "proceed to landing pad 5 Specialist." Was all they got replied too and she pointed out which one was that to the pilots.

Onlookers of the festival saw the foreign ship fly over head with its bays doors open and past the massive battleships of the Atlas air navy. "Impressive designs for ships. But they don't look battle tested." Ezra commented as they flew by them and soon over Vale to beacon academy. Winter heard the comment and was about to retort back but the armor their saviors bore and the other helmeted soldiers showed signs of combat and paint gone on some armor or weld job repairs to keep the armor functional after missions. Qrow and the beacon students took notice too more now they weren't saved by novice they were saved by a new faction that has years of combat experience by their looks of things not even some of Remnant's most hardened fighters looked as rough as them.

On landing pad five on the steps edges awaited a small group of students, teachers and military personnel. The unknown hum of the gunship soon filled the air and everyone looked up as the unknown ship circled the school like a hawk till it leveled out and made its approach to land. "They look heavily armed" General James Ironwood commented commented to professor Ozpin and Glynda Goodwitch, "I agree with you on that Ironwood." Ozpin replied seeing the door gunners and how the pilots landed they had the tactical advantage immediately if hostile intent by the mini gun mounted by the doors and rockets pods and racks on each wing they could most definitely cause significant destruction if they planned on it.

The first ones to unload were specialist Winter Schnee and Qrow followed by the beacon students and then the two unknowns the last one turned towards the pilots in private coms. "Refuel and go back to giving ground support to the team in the village have another gun ship wait for us here, inform the battleships that you're refueling and rearming for another mission pilot." Ezra ordered , " It'll be done general." The gunship's pilots responded followed by the ones on board before the doors of the LAAT closed and rose up from the landing pad and took off to meet a venator in atmosphere. Ezra turned and joined Sabine as they saw the crowd waiting for them and the wind gusted a little blowing Ezra's Kama's on his armor.

The crowd saw the gunship take to the air sounds of the hum turning into a roar, doors sealing and armament becoming live as it turned and flew off low and leaving the city. Ruby, Weiss , Blake and Yang all saw the casual display of power by the gunship like a beast leaving for battle. "Imagine what that thing could do to grim!" Ruby exclaimed, Qrow decided to respond "I've seen it in action Ruby that was just one we saw more than one and they utterly laid waste to grim one of those war machines turned us fighting for survival to a victory." , Weiss looked at Qrow then Winter her sister if true by the drunk, "It's true Weiss we would've been overwhelmed by the grim if it wasn't for the arrival and I'm glad not to be on receiving end of one of them." Winter added standing beside Qrow looking at her younger sister then general ironwood and staff. "Then my men and their equipment did their job." The multi camo figure added joining the group. "Who would you be the one rescuing my students from being overwhelmed?" Professor Ozpin as looking at the black visor, "General Bridger of the guardians of the Old Republic Sir." Bridger responded in an authoritative polite tone.

Unknown to them in the crowd one of Salam's agents Cinder Fall the orchestrator of coming times now has new information to inform that a new player has entered the chest board against her master. Remnant has heard of "guardians of the republic" in centuries. Supposedly just ghost and legends that held their own against all kingdoms of remnant to achieve their goals.
