Return of the old evil.

Vale, one of the 4 remaining kingdoms in the world of Remnant, was in chaos. Due to the act of the evil girl named Cinder Fall. For moths she manipulated the people in to feel negative emotions which in turn attracted the vicious monsters known as grimm to the city and she hacked the mighty Atlas robots and setting them lose on the innocent people of Vale.

All across Beacon Academy, various students battle the many Creatures of Grimm. On top of a building, Cinder along with her associates Emerald Sustrai, and Mercury Black who is filming the chaos with his Scroll.

Cinder admired the chaos with a sinister smile on her face "Beautiful".

"It's almost sad" Emerald said with a sorrowful expression on her face.

"It's horrendous. Focus on the Atlesian Knights" Cinder ordered.

"Oh, I'm getting all of it" Mercury said as he continued filming.

"Good. Continue the broadcast until the end!" Cinder said. Then suddenly, a tremor rocks all three of them.

Cinder smirks "And do not miss what happens next".

Cinder walks off as Mercury continues filming with an evil grin on his face, while Emerald's expression only grows more worrisome.

Elsewhere, a mountain starts to violently shake and crumble, as various body parts of a monstrous-looking Grimm are revealed, before the mountain completely breaks apart, releasing a titanic Dragon-like Grimm. The Dragon roars and flies over the abandoned Mountain Glenn, heading towards Beacon. As it flies, it exudes a black, tar-like substance which drops to the ground in the city of Vale and spawns various Grimm.

Back with our heroes, Ozpin, the head master of Beacon, walks out to find the one student he believes can be the next fall maiden. Cinder watches them her eyes glowing ominously. But just as they are about to head to the vault, something very unexpected happens.

Seemingly out of nowhere, an entire fleet of ships shows up. Put these ships are unlike anything the people of Vale had seen before. Without any warning, the fleat begins to open fire on everything around it. Both grimm and Atlas robots gets blown up left and right while the dragon grimm gets attacked by smaller ships.

"What?" Cinder question out loud.

Then several drop ships shows up all around Beacon. They land and several black armored soldiers and some strange robots jumps out and begins slaughtering the grimms with weapons unlike any huntsman.

On one of the Atlas ships, Ruby Rose was in combat against Roman Torchwick and his accomplice Neo. But the fight was cut short when the new ships fired on them. The ship took to much damage and began to crash, forcing Ruby to jump of towards Beacon, using her weapon to slow her fall.

She landed safely and hurried to find her team.

In Beacon's ballroom, Blake Belladonna was on the floor after having lost a fight against her former partner Adam. But before they could do anything, both noticed the mysterious soldiers swarming the area.

"What the hell? Cinder never mentioned this" Adam said.

Blake struggled to get up but stopped when several soldiers ran in and aimed their weapons on them.

"Drop your weapons and surrender, NOW" One of the soldiers ordered.

Adam glared at them and tightened his grip on his sword.

"I said drop it" The soldier said threateningly.

"You want my sword? You got it" Adam said before he began killing the soldiers, who immediately opened fire on him.

He killed a lot of them, but more just kept on coming and soon enough he got shot in the shoulder. He let out a quick cry of pain holding his now injured shoulder. That shot went through he aura like it was nothing.

Before he knew it, he was beaten senseless by the soldiers. Blake was about to get up but a rifle pointed at her head stopped her.

"Don't try anything" He warned.

Back with Emerald and Mercury, they were completely speechless from what was happening. Then a ship showed up behind them, it opened up and a blonde woman stepped out of it.

"Who are you?" Emerald demanded.

"Who I am is non of your concern. You got something I need, hand over that scroll" The woman said.

"You want it, try and take it" Mercury challenged as he jumped towards the woman to kick her.

Big mistake...

The moment he was close enough, the woman activated some kind of glowing red sword and with a single strike, Mercury crashed to the roof, both his metal legs seward. Emerald was about to join the fight only to feel a lot of pressure around her neck, like she was being choked by nothing.

"Now, give me that scroll" The woman demanded.

But then a black arrow cam flying towards her, forcing her to dodge before looking in the direction it came from. It was Cinder, she had returned to speak with her associates, only to find them both on the ground.

"Who are you?" Cinder demanded as she glared at the woman

The woman looked at her for a moment before speaking "I can sense two kinds of power within you. One that dose not belong to you".

Cinder was surprised that this woman could sense her powers before her glare returned "The power of the maiden is mine and I will use it to kill you".

The woman was not affected at all by Cinder's threat and said "You can't beat me with your stolen power".

She raised her glowing sword and got ready to fight. Cinder did the same.

Back with the students, they were all surrounded by the soldiers, who were telling them to stand down. Ozpin was cornered and could only watch as his students were too exhausted to continue the battle.

"Tell them to stand down, or they all die" One of the soldiers warned.

Ozpin looked back and forth between his students and the soldier. He knew if he gave up, these people would gain control over Beacon, but if he refused, his students would die and he had sworn to keep them safe while they train.

With a heavy heart he dropped his cane and said "Everyone... stand down".

The students stared at him in disbelief "But... Ozpin-" Pyrrha Nikos began only to be interrupted.

"I said stand down" Ozpin ordered, he did not want to risk his students getting killed because of their stubbornness.

The students hesitated before dropping their weapons and was hand cuffed by the soldiers.

"I'm so sorry" Ozpin whispered.

Back with Cinder, she was on the ground after a long hard battle against this mysterious woman. This woman: She possessed powers Cinder had never faced before, it's like she possessed more than one semblance, but that's impossible.

"You were powerful, but can't beat me. Power needs to be earned and you don't deserve any of it" The woman said before lifting Cinder up by the throat "Surrender, swear loyalty to me, and I'll let you live".

Cinder responded by spitting her in the face. The woman's eyes narrowed before she put the hilt of her saber to Cinder's chest and activated it, piercing her heart. Cinder fell to the ground dead and the woman retrieved the scroll from Mercury.

The time has come.

In the city Glynda Goodwitch, Qrow Branwen and James Ironwood were also at the mercy of tis new threat.

"What the hell is this?" Qrow asked.

But then there was a sound before a voice was heard.

The woman began speaking through the scroll "People of Vale. I am Lana Beniko, the sith leader of this army. Long have we been hiding in the shadows, long we have been waiting for the perfect time to strike. Now we have returned, more powerful than ever. Beacon is now ours and your protectors has fallen. From this day onward, this kingdom will no longer be known as Vale: Now it we be called The New Empire. Anyone who swear their loyalty to us and serve us without any questions will keep their lives, just know you answer to us. Resist and you will face fate far worse than death".

After her speech she returned to her troops.

While listening to the speech, Ruby saw the dragon grimm get killed by the enemy ships. That woman was dangerous, she understood that much. She needed to find her team quickly.

Lana walked back to her troops only to hear the sound of a flight. Arriving at the scene she saw a girl with long blond hair and weaponized glows fight her soldiers.

"You are strong" Lana said catching the girls attention "The empire could use someone like you. Bow to me and I'll let you join us".

The girl glared at her "Never, I will never bow to you".

Lana sighed "How disappointing" The girl ran at her, but Lana only raised her hand and unleashed a massive amount lightning on her.

She fell to the ground as Lana closed in to deliver the final blow.

"YANG" Came the voice of Ruby as she charged Lana with her weapon.

Lana duked out of the way before eyeing the girl. There was something about her.

Ruby was about to attack again, but her weapon was torn from her hands by nothing, before she herself found herself flying towards Lana who held her close to her face, her glowing eyes staring into her own.

"Silver eyes" Lana said rather calmly, in fact she even had a small smile on her face.

But then Weiss took her chance to run towards them and ramed her shoulder in to Lana's side, making her drop Ruby.

"Ruby run" Weiss yelled at her, when Ruby hesitated she grew angry and screamed "RUN YOU DUNCE".

Ruby finally complied and took of running, there was no time to retrive her weapon.

"After her, I want her alive" Lana ordered and her troops chased after Ruby.

Ruby ran as fast as her legs would carry her, the soldiers not far behind. After running for awhile she reached a cliff.

"There is no escape, surrender now and we will bring you back to Lana unharmed" One of the soldiers said.

Ruby glared at them for a moment before jumping of the cliff and in to the water below.

The soldier ran up to the edge and looked down. There was no sign of her anywhere. Lana was not going to like this.

Further down the stream, Ruby crawled out of the cold water and on to the shores. She was cold and defenseless, she need to to find help somewhere, she knew she stood no chance against that army on her own.

First stop. Her home, she wanted to make sure her dad was alright.

Later that night a soldier reported that Ruby had managed to escape. Lana was not pleased by the news.

"Gather a squad and find her. And remember I want her back here alive" Lana ordered.

"Yes my mistress" The soldier said before walking away

Lana looked back at the view of the city formerly known as Vale, now The New Empire.

Though she did not expect a silver eye, she was happy for it. Someone like that could prove useful to her.

.

Ok, I have never played the old republic game, but I did watch it on Youtube, and after seeing Lana I developed a high opinion on the character. I love how different she is from the other Sith and her willingness to do things most other sith would rather kill themselves than do.

Obviously she will be different in this story, but I will stay as close to her character as I can.

I'm wide open for both requests and suggestions and before anyone asks: The republic will not show up, this will be Remnant vs The Empire.

Tell me what you think, reviews will be important for the story.
