Chapter 2: Dons here are quiet





Southern Ukraine, the border between Anarchist territory and the Don Cossack Republic.





*RATATATATAATATATATA* was the sound that awoke Weiss Schnee. She expected the first thing to see as she opened her eyes was the bunk of Ruby's bed. Instead was a blue sky with one small cloud. To say she was confused was an understanding. To top the confusion all off, the "bed" was shaking and bumping, as if something was pulling it.



*RATATATATAATATAATATATATAAT*



"What's going on? Where am I? What's that noise ?" were all the questions muttered under her breath. The Noise sounded close by, almost right beside her, pounding her ears.

On further hearing, the noise sounded like some type of automatic weapon. Was she in the heat of Battle, where ever she was?



As she sat up, she hoped that she would be greeted by her friends. She should of known better, why would any one great you in the heat of battle ? Instead of her friends was the backside of a stranger. A man wearing a black coat and a cap who was driving a group of horses. This was know bed (obviously) but a carriage.



"A carriage ? What is this ? the Remnant Frontier Era ?" she asked quietly under her breath. This felt even more confusing to her. To her knowledge carriages were obsolete, replace by Dust powered automobiles sometime

during the Remnant Golden age.



*RATATATATATATATAT*



She turned to finally face the weapon. Just as she though, it was some type of automatic weapon, being handled by two men wearing the same outfit as the driver. The weapon looked like nothing she had seen before. It was too big to be used Hunters and had some kind of belt mechanism beside it which one of the men was grasping at it as it moved like a conveyor belt in one of her fathers factories. The two men were firing there weapon at a group of 8 or 10 men on horseback, who were armed with swords and guns. Could these men be Hunters of sorts? What Hunters would ride on horseback? Hell, WHO still rode on horseback? The last time she saw a Horse was as a birthday present given to her sister. It all seemed surreal to her like a dream. But this couldn't be a dream. The breeze, the smell of gunpowder, the bumps of the carriage, the smell of the horses, the sound of the machine gun, it all felt real.



Where was she? To answer that question she looked around the area. It was a grassy field, somewhere away from civilization, which meant she was definantly not in Vale.



Who were these people? The first thing on her mind was criminals or terrorists. Was she being kidnapped? These men did not look like members of the White Fang. For one thing they wore no masks nor had any characteristics of a Faunus. These men were completely human.



How she was kidnapped was barred from her mind as the thought of her team and family crept through her mind. They must of been worried sick of her. She must find her team.



Like a catapult, she flipped her body out of the carriage and landed herself on the grass. As she got back up she looked in disgust as her dress was covered in grass stains.



"Great, now I have to clean this" she said in an annoyed tone.



She briefly glance at her "kidnappers" who were descending away from her and the "Hunters" chasing them. Behind the carriage that the machine gun was mounted on, adorned a black banner with a white skull and crossbones and what seemed to be words in an alien language that definantly was not Valic.



She then turned to the group of horsemen surrounding her. They spoke in an alien language that like the black banner, did not seem Valic, in fact it sounded nothing like on Remnant before. The Horsemen all uniformly wore grey coats and wore furry hats. Most of them seemed to have facial hair of sorts. They withdrew there weapons as they looked in curiosity at the sight of her. They both whispered there foreign tongue at each other.



If these were Hunters, then they were the strangest looking Hunters she has ever seen before. They didn't seem like they belonged to any known kingdom (again, there language). maybe they were a tribe of Hunters that somehow learned how to live off the land and survive the Grimm without the need of city walls?



Then the center horsemen, who probably was there leader, stretched out his hand and spoke something in his foreign tongue. The gesture of his face and hand read "come with me if you want to live". Perhaps they could help her find vale? She had no other option, she was not going to wander aimlessly through the middle of nowhere.

As she grabbed on to the mans hand she immediately though of Ruby.



"Don't worry Ruby, I'm coming"
