Eight girls lay unconscious along the coast of a small unknown island. Night had fallen and the only light to be had was from the moon overhead and the lantern that was atop a large pile of boxes nearby. Each girl wore a unique outfit that exemplified their individuality. They were also accompanied by their personal weapon, another thing that set them apart from their peers. One girl had a sniper-scythe, another a hammer-grenade launcher, and yet another with a carrying case that turned into a high-caliber gatling gun. Yes, each of these girls couldn't be different enough from the last. But they all had one thing in common.

They were from another world.

The one in red was the first to stir. Yawning as she wiped the sleep out of her eyes, Ruby Rose got up from the ground and examined her surroundings.

"What? Where am I?" she uttered in confusion. The last thing she remembers was seeing Pyrrha get killed by Cinder at the top of Beacon tower, and then there was a flash of light.

The red clad girl surveyed her surroundings and saw that she was not alone in this mysterious place. Her entire team was there as well. Although they were still sleep. However as she gazed upon the unconscious figures scattered around her, a flash of red hair caught her eye.

"It can't be..." she said softly. Ruby ran over to the red haired individual and turned them over to reveal Pyrrha Nikos, the girl she had seen reduced to ash moments earlier. Ruby patted the girl up and down to make sure she was real before placing her ear against her chest. She heard the steady beat of the girls heart. She was alive.

"PYRRHA!" she shouted in a mix of sadness, joy, and surprise.

"Huh?" the girl weakly muttered as Ruby shook her awake. "What's going on?" she asked groggily as she examined her surroundings.

"Pyrrha! You're alive!" Ruby exclaimed.

The girl in question looked down at her hands in disbelief. "I'm... alive?" she said as she tried to take in what had just happened. She was sure that Cinder had killed her, but here she was, alive and well. Even on the ground next to her was her weapon which she remembered Cinder destroying. "How is this possible?"

"Oh Pyrrha! I'm so glad you're alright!" Ruby said as she threw her arms around the spartan girl in an embrace.

"Ruby..." she responded as she returned the hug. After a few moments the two separated and got up. "Where are we?"

"I'm not sure. I saw a flash of light and then the next thing I woke up here."

"Ughh, keep it down. I'm trying to sleep here." groaned Yang.

"Yang! Wake up!" Ruby screeched as she ran over to her sister.

"Whuzzat?" she spoke unintelligibly as she was forced awake. Then the memories hit her. Beacon, the White Fang, her arm. She quickly looked down at her arm, to find that it was still attached. No injury whatsoever. "The hell? Ruby, what's going on? Where are we?"

"Sorry sis, but I don't have the answer to either of those questions."

Yang, then remembering that Blake was hurt as well, quickly shot up off the ground to find her partner who was nearby. The blonde turned her partner over and saw that she was unharmed as well. "What's going on?"

One by one the other girls began to wake. Each one more confused then the last. They each remembered the fall of Beacon, so that meant it wasn't a dream. And they each remembered seeing a bright light before they woke up... wherever they are.

The girls present were, Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, Yang Xiao-Long, Pyrrha Nikos, Nora Valkyrie, Coco Adel, and Velvet Scarletina.

"So, anyone got any ideas as to how we ended up here? Because the last thing I remember was we were fighting for our lives at Beacon." spoke the eldest of the group, Coco.

"No idea. Perhaps someone evacuated us?" offered Velvet.

"And brought the dead back to life as well as heal serious wounds?" asked Weiss skeptically. "I think that's a bit much don't you?"

"Well, when you put it like that." Velvet replied as she looked down.

"N-not that it's a completely impossible idea!" Weiss said trying to cheer Velvet up. "Just that it sounds strange."

"Indeed. I don't see how anything short of a powerful Semblance can do something such as this." added Pyrrha. "That or magic."

"Magic? Didn't think you believed in fairy tales Pyrrha." spoke Yang.

"Not fairy tales. Magic is real. I've seen it. That Cinder woman used stolen magic to fight me. Even Jaune had seen the source of it. Just ask him."

"Speaking of which, where is our fearless if somewhat incompetent leader?" asked Nora. "And where's Ren?"

Now that she mentioned it, the group realized that the respective male members of their teams were nowhere to be found.

"Strange. How is it that just we ended up here?" mused Blake.

"I don't know, but maybe something in these crates will have the answer." suggested Ruby as she made her way over to the large pyramid of crates. They were stacked in a way that one would have to start from the top and work their way down if they wanted to open them. And on the very top was a lantern.

Ruby climbed to the peak and removed the lantern from the top crate. When she did, she found a note underneath it.

"Hey guys! There's a note up here!" she said as she waved the note.

"What's it say?" asked Yang.

Ruby hopped back down with the lantern and note in hand and the girls formed into a circle to read it.

Dear Huntresses,

"Seeing as how your world is currently in the midst of a crisis, I have taken it upon myself to give you the opportunity to gain the upper hand against your enemies. To do this, I have placed you in another alternate world. I can assure you that this is no joke. You are no longer on Remnant, rather a planet called 'Earth'. Should you need proof just look to the moon which is unbroken.

But back on topic; To give you the edge you need against your foes, you will have to recruit the aid of the denizens of this world. They are powerful in their own right, but are currently struggling with a war of their own. They are being invaded by an alien race known as the Neuroi. A race of mechanical beings that seek to destroy everything in their wake. This is where you come in.

Using your skills and advanced weaponry, see to it that the invasion is stopped. Once you have done that, I will open a portal back to your world that will bring you back to just before the fall of Beacon started.

The crates nearby you have enough Dust and ammunition to last you a considerable amount of time. Should you run out though, I will deliver more.

Be sure to stay put and eventually someone will happen upon you. I have seen to it that they will.

Good luck in your endeavors."

- Blank

For a few moments there was silence. Then each one of the girls slowly raised their heads to see the moon in the sky above. And just as the note said, it wasn't broken.

"... You've got to be kidding me." groaned Weiss. "This is ridiculous."

"Alright girls, you saw the note. We have to aid the people of this world and then we can save our own." said Ruby resolutely.

"You can't tell me you actually believe that note do you?" asked Weiss.

"It's the best explanation that we have for our current predicament."

"Yeah! Some omnipotent god sent us to another world so we could break some legs, then go back to ours and break some more!" supplied Nora.

"Although I don't share Nora's enthusiasm. It seems to be the case." spoke Blake.

"Urgh! This is madness!" Weiss said as she stomped her feet.

"Madness or not, we're still stuck wherever we are. The note said to stay put and wait for someone to find us. So that's what we'll do." said Coco who had taken charge being that she was the eldest. "Alright girls, time to set up camp for the night. Let's get some firewood together and start a campfire."

The girls spread out and searched for dry branches to start a fire with before meeting back at the crates. Putting the branches into a pile and then adding some fire dust and they had a nice campfire going.

"So, anyone got any food on them?"

The girls reached into their pockets and pulled out an assortment of candies, snacks, and energy bars. Nothing that would make a meal, but it would do for now.

The girls divided up their food supply and after a quick 'meal' they decided to turn in for the night. But seeing as how they were in unknown territory, they thought it best that they had a lookout. Coco volunteered to go first.

It was morning and the sun had begun its ascent into the sky, brightening up the world for all to see. Yang let out a slight yawn as she was the one on guard duty at the time. She got up from her seat on one of the boxes and proceeded to one by one wake the rest of the gang.

"When do you suppose someone will find us?" asked Pyrrha.

"Soon hopefully. I want some pancakes." whined Nora.

"Is that you all you ever think about?" asked Weiss.

"Only when I'm hungry." Nora said with a smile.

"Hey girls, I think I see a ship out there!" Ruby called as she pointed out to sea. Taking out Crescent Rose, she looked through the scope to confirm her suspicions. "Yeah! It's a ship! A whole bunch of them!"

"I guess that's our pickup." spoke Yang.

The group watched as the ship got closer and closer, until suddenly a red beam fell from the sky and struck one of the ships, exploding in a grand manner and setting fire to the craft.

"What was that?!" screamed Weiss.

As if to answer her question, a large arrowhead shaped ship appeared through the clouds. It swooped down and flew past the ships which began firing upon it with AA guns.

"Giant metal alien!" screamed Ruby. "This would be so cool if it wasn't so bad!"

"Blank expects us to take on something of that size?! Our weapons will barely put a dent in it!" shouted Weiss.

The ship continued to soar through the air and fire upon the convoy of ships with red beams. The shots slammed into the water and sent it skyward in large amounts.

One of the ships began launching aircraft off of its deck which initiated a dogfight with the enemy craft. Among them was a tiny speck. Far too small to be a plane.

The speck looked to be a strange plane of some sort that was flying around the Neuroi as it fired upon the ships with its red beams. The speck was returning fire and each bullet that hit the Neuroi took a chunk out of it. However the girls noticed that moments later it started regenerating.

"It regenerates?! Just perfect!" said an exasperated Weiss.

"Perhaps it has a weak spot somewhere?" offered Pyrrha.

"Just like the boss battles in The Legend of Adlez!" shouted Ruby excitedly. The rest of the girls looked at her with their heads cocked to the side. "It's a video game."

"Anyway, we have to do something to help them. They're taking too much fire." said Coco.

"Right! We need to get out there." agreed Ruby. "Weiss, can you make us a path?"

"Hmmph, can I?" the heiress asked rhetorically.

"Can you?" asked Ruby.

"Of course I can!" Weiss then stabbed Myrtenaster into the water and, using ice dust, froze a large chunk of the sea into solid ice. Enough so that the group could get in range to use their guns.

"Alright! Make sure to spread out so you aren't an easy target! Time your shots carefully and lead the target! Fire and displace! You hear me?!" shouted Coco.

"Got it!"

"Then let's get in there!"

The group of Huntresses then charged out onto the ice platform and made their way towards the ships. Weiss kept extending the ices size when they neared the edge so they could keep running. Soon enough they were close enough to engage the enemy.

Coco unfolded her gatling gun and unloaded its .50 caliber AP ammunition at the Neuroi. The armor piercing rounds pelted the side of the Neuroi which gained its attention. Just as it was about to fire at Coco, a glyph appeared beneath her feet and sent her away from the beams path.

Ruby put Crescent Rose into sniper mode and loaded it with exploding rounds. She took aim, accounted for wind resistance, led the shot, and fired. The high caliber round slammed into the hull of the Neuroi and exploded, dealing significant damage. She then used her Semblance to dodge the return fire.

Now that they had gained the Neuroi's ire, it had made a beeline for their position.

"Scatter!" shouted Coco.

The girls quickly spread out and began dodging or tanking the red beams that the ship was firing. Yang took a direct hit and shrugged itr off before firing exploding slugs from Ember Celica towards the ship as it passed overhead.

"Pyrrha, launch!" shouted Nora as she ran at the spartan girl.

Pyrrha raised her shield above her head and Nora jumped and landed on top of it. She then fired Magnhild against the shield which propelled her upwards, just as the Neuroi was about to pass by. She flew above the ship and fired downwards as it was below her which then sent her careening towards the hull of the ship. Nora landed gracefully on top of the Neuroi with a wild grin.

"It's hammer time!" Nora shouted as she proceeded to slam her hammer into the ships hull with extreme force that was enough to shake it.

As she went about smashing the various parts of the ship, she eventually destroyed a chunk that revealed a glowing red hexagonal object.

"Is that the weak spot?"

Unfortunately she had no time to act on her suspicions as the Neuroi did a barrel roll and shook her off. Nora fell through the air and was about to land in the water when she suddenly felt herself pulled in another direction, or rather her weapon was pulled with her holding onto it.

Pyrrha had her hand held out towards Nora as she used her Semblance to pull the girl and her weapon back to safety.

"Girls! I think I found the weak point!" Nora shouted at her comrades. "There was a glowing object near the top center that looked important! Concentrate fire there!"

"You heard her girls! Now let's wreck this bastard!" hollered Yang.

All the girls opened fire upon the Neuroi along with aid from the flying speck from earlier that now had a fellow speck as well. Under the combined fire, the Neuroi was unable to avoid being hit and eventually the core was exposed again.

"Ruby!" shouted Coco.

"On it!" Ruby shouted as she took aim at the core. Once she was sure she had her aim right, she pulled the trigger.

The .50 caliber round sped through the air and slammed into the core, destroying it. Moments later the entire craft shattered into millions of fragments of light.

The girls let out a collective breath of relief.

"Guess that's over with." stated Yang as she reloaded Ember Celica.

"That was insane! And we're expected to take on MORE off those things?!" screamed Weiss.

"Oh calm down ice princess. It wasn't that bad." spoke Coco as she folded up her minigun.

"Yeah, I'd say things went pretty well, all things considered." concurred Blake.

"We totally wrecked that thing!" shouted Nora as she swung Magnhild about.

"Alright, for now, let's get back to the island. All our stuff is there." Coco said as she headed back across the ice.

"What about them?" asked Velvet, who was pointing at the ships. "Are we sure they'll notice us?"

"Vel, if they don't notice a giant chunk of ice covered water in the middle of the ocean, and don't think to investigate, then I'd say they're a few cards short of a full deck."

"Coco's right. They will no doubt notice us, especially since we opened fire on the Neuroi. It's just a matter of time until they send someone to investigate." spoke Ruby.

And so the girls collected themselves and headed back to the island. Upon arriving back at the island they started opening some of the crates of Dust and ammunition in order to re-arm themselves. As Blake was loading a fresh clip into Gambol Shroud, her bow twitched.

"Something's coming." she informed the girls.

True to her word, the girls turned to see a few flying... somethings... heading towards their position.

"Ruby, can you get eyes on our company?" asked Coco.

"On it." she answered as she unfolded Crescent Rose and looked through the scope. However when she got a good look at whatever it was, her face immediately turned a bright shade of red to match her name and she nearly dropped Crescent Rose. "Wahh!"

"What is it sis?!" Yang asked as she took up a fighting stance along with the rest of the girls. "Is it another enemy?!"

"P-p-panties!" squeaked Ruby in response.

A collective 'Huh?' was the girls confused reaction.

"What about panties?" asked Pyrrah.

Ruby returned Crescent Rose to her back and began flailing her arms about in a rather poor excuse for charades. "Girls! Guns! Plane legs! No pants! Panties!" she rattled off indecipherably.

"What's the dolt going on about?" questioned Weiss.

Yang walked over and put a hand on her over excited sister. "Calm down Rubes. Take a deep breath, and then let it out slowly."

Ruby stopped her flailing and did as Yang instructed. Breath in. Breath out.

"Good, now tell us what you saw."

"I think it's better if you just take a look for yourselves." Ruby said as she handed Crescent Rose to Yang.

The blonde took the sniper-scythe in hand and looked through the scope at their approaching guests. Once she got them in sight, she whistled as her face blushed a bit. "Well, that certainly is a fashion statement of sorts. My kind of girls." she finished with a lecherous grin as a bit of blood dripped from her nose.

"Yang, would you please just tell us what you see." spoke an increasingly impatient Weiss.

"Oh you are gonna love this Weiss-cream." Yang said as she handed Crescent Rose back to Ruby. "There are three gun toting girls, with some sort of flying contraptions strapped to their legs, headed straight towards us."

"So? Is that all?"

Yang shook her head. "You wanna know what the best part is? They're not wearing pants. They're flying around in their underwear."

Blake had a resigned blush, Weiss' face lit up, Pyrrha covered her mouth in shock, Nora simply grinned in amusement, Velvet blushed and looked to the ground, and Coco was seemingly impassive.

"Y-you can't be serious!" screeched Weiss.

"Oh but I am. Just wait until they get closer and you'll see. In fact, why don't we all strip down to our underwear to greet them?" the blonde suggested with a perverted grin.

"No!"

"Just kidding~. But make yourselves presentable, they're almost here."

The girls collected themselves and watched as the distant figures came ever closer. As they neared, it became ever clear that Yang was telling the truth. The girls were flying with the aid of contraptions strapped to their legs, and they were lacking a certain article of clothing. There were three of them. The lead girl had amber-red hair that flowed just past her shoulders, and was wearing a green military officers jacket. The girl to her right was a short haired blonde who wore a black jacket. And the girl to her left had moderate length brown hair that was tied into two separate ponytails, her outfit was a gray jacket with coattails. However what also stood out were the animal ears they sported. The amber and brown haired girls had animal ears of some sort sprouting from their heads, whilst the blonde had streaks of black in her hair that mimicked the appearance of ears.

The three girls landed on the island, their leg-plane-things acting as stilts of some sort for them. No one dared to say anything as the amber haired girl looked them over. She was gauging them, judging them, trying to figure out as much about them as she could before she started speaking. After what seemed like hours, the silence was broken. Oddly enough by Ruby.

"Umm... Hello." she said with a wave and a nervous smile.

(-)

Commander Minna-Dietlinde Wilcke did her best to take stock of the mysterious and colorful group of girls in front of her. Just moments earlier she and the rest of her squadron were en-route to provide support to Sakamoto against the Neuroi. Upon arriving, the Neuroi was already defeated. Initially Minna had assumed it was Sakamoto's doing. But according to Sakamoto's report, she and her new charge Yoshika Miyafuji had been assisted by ground based fire that had ultimately shot down the Neuroi. Fire that came from the direction of a large frozen chunk of the sea. Following the ice, she and her two wing mates were led to a small and unassuming island. And it was on that island that she found the eight girls that now stood in front of her.

Each one looked vastly different from the last, being dressed in rather outlandish garb. She also took note of the various weapons they possessed. Most looked to be melee weapons, not guns. So how did they shoot down the Neuroi? She also noticed that one of them had rabbit ears. A witch perhaps?

She was left with more questions then answers. And the best way to get those answers was from the girls themselves. Having done her best to discern what she could from appearances alone, Minna was ready to initiate contact.

"Umm... Hello." the small girl in red and black said with a wave and an obviously nervous smile.

Minna smiled back comfortingly. "Hello there." she said sweetly. "I am Commander Minna-Dietlinde Wilcke of the 501st Joint Fighter Wing. And these are my two subordinates; Gertrud Barkhorn and Erica Hartmann." Minna said as she gestured to the respective girls. She had figured the best thing to do would be to give introductions. "Who might you girls be?"

"Oh, I'm Ruby Rose!" the red clad girl said cheerfully, seeming to have cast off her nervousness at Minna's kind tone.

"Weiss Schnee." said the white haired girl curtly.

"Blake Belladonna." spoke the black haired girl.

"Yang Xiao-Long." said the blonde with a smile.

Minna took note of how the blonde's eyes seemed to wander to certain places on her and her comrades bodies. More so than the rest of the girls. In fact, the majority of them sported a healthy blush. It was almost as if they never saw a witch before.

"Pyrrha Nikos." the scarlet haired girl said with a slight bow.

"Nora Valkyrie!" cheered the orange haired girl.

"V-Velvet Scarletina." the rabbit eared girl said nervously.

"Coco Adel." the girl with the highlight in her hair spoke evenly. Minna could tell from the way she held herself that she was most likely the eldest or the one in charge. A fact that was further supported when she was the first to respond next.

"So, now that introductions are out of the way, what happens next?" Coco asked as she lowered her sunglasses to reveal her dark brown eyes.

"Well, I suppose this is where I ask you exactly what happened earlier. One of my subordinates informed me that the Neuroi was shot down by ground fire coming from your direction. Yet I don't exactly see any guns on you."

To answer her unspoken question, Coco unfolded her handbag into its minigun form, surprising the three witches. The size of the gun belied the bags initial appearance.

"Wha- How?!" uttered Barkhorn.

Coco nodded to the rest of the girls and their weapons changed form as well.

It was a great surprise to the three veteran witches to see such advanced looking weaponry. To be able to shift form like they did, it was completely unheard of! Just who were these girls and where did they come from?

Minna did her best to keep herself composed and not show any signs of shock. "I see. So your weapons are multi-purpose. I guess that means that Sakamoto was telling the truth. You were the ones who shot down the Neuroi."

"That we did." answered Coco as she readjusted her glasses. "It was the least we could do, seeing as how it was harassing those ships and all."

"Well then, for that you have my thanks. But would you mind telling me why exactly you eight are out here in the middle of the sea? I take it you aren't out here just for the view."

"That's a little complicated to answer." Coco said as she produced a letter. "Believe it or not, we're not from around here. And that's in a big sense of the phrase." she then handed the letter to Minna.

Barkhorn and Hartmann looked over her shoulders as she read the letter, growing ever more confused and doubtful as she read on.

"You expect us to believe this crap?" asked Barkhorn.

"Cool! They're like aliens!" Hartmann said in awe.

"Don't tell me you're actually buying what that letter says."

"Why not? It's more fun if you chose to believe it."

"But still just as ridiculous."

Minna tuned out her two friends as she pondered the letter. She wasn't 100% buying it. It sounded to unreal. But then again, these girls had highly advanced weaponry that no country would be capable of producing for decades at the least.

"Whether you believe it our not is irrelevant. All that matters is this; we're here to help." informed Coco. "We scratch your back, you scratch ours. Deal?" Coco said as she held out her hand.

Minna took a moment to weigh her options. If the letter was true, then these girls were of a different world and needed aid in exchange for their services. If the letter was false, then they were just a bunch of eccentrics who wanted to help the cause. Either way, they were ready and willing to fight. And Minna wasn't one to turn down help.

She reached out her hand and grasped Coco's. "Deal."

"Excellent. Now, can we get a ship over here to pick up our supplies?" Coco asked as she jabbed a thumb at the large pile of boxes.
