WE COME TO YOU LIVE WITH INTERNATIONAL BREAKING NEWS!

"Hello London! We are here live with what seems to be a terrorist attack on King's Row by the omnic extremist group, Null Sector. They are firing upon the citizens of London leaving a trail of bloodshed in their wake. What's this? They seem to have captured the mayor and Mondatta of the Shambali!" Yelled the reporter from a helicopter they were flying around in. While the reporters were being distracted by Null Sector's sudden attack, a large purple portal opened up behind them on the ground and the creatures of Grimm started to pour out of it followed by a man in a black cloak wearing a white mask of a skull.

"HEY WHATS THAT?!" Yelled the camera man who looked behind them and saw the black creatures. The man turned his camera to them and zoomed in.

"I-I-it appears that there's some kind of vortex or something with black creatures coming out of it." Said the reporter. Just then, a nevermore bird flew out from the portal and attacked the helicopter killing everyone aboard it.

Back at Overwatch Headquarters

"What are Grimm doing here!?" Qrow yelled.

"Those are Grimm? They don't look that tough, but who's the guy in the mask?" Reyes said.

"Da, those are Grimm alright. Nasty bastards they are." Reinhardt answered. The others watched in horror as they watched the screen displaying the attack on London. Suddenly, a call from Petras appeared on the screen. Jack immediately answered the call.

"Strike Commander Jack, Commander Reyes, Captain Amari." Said Petras.

"Hello Petras." they responded.

"I know you and the rest saw what is happening in London and... ugh this is embarrassing. I need you to make a six-man team and send them down there." Petras said.

"Well now, a plead for help from Petras? This is new." Reyes chuckled. Petras sighed heavily.

"Look, we are in an international state of emergency. Multiple cities are calling the UN and also have these... creatures causing havoc throughout the world. There's Volskya Industries in Russia, Dorado in Mexico, Numbani in Africa, and Ilios in Greece. There have also been sightings of omnics and other people fighting these things in the process in each area. Now I will repeat myself once more, send a six-man team to King's Row and then head out to the other cities. Do you understand!?" Petras yelled.

"Affirmative Director Petras." Jack saluted.

"Those creatures are called Grimm." Qrow spoke.

"Jack...who was that?" Petras asked. Jack and Reyes froze in fear while Ana sighed.

"Director Petras, this is my friend Qrow Branwan, he's...not from this world." Reinhardt said.

"What are you saying Lieutenant?" Petras questioned.

"It's kind of a long story sir, but listen to what he has to say." Reinhardt responded.

"These 'creatures' are known as Grimm, they are monsters of darkness and are pure evil. It seems like their queen is sending them through multiple portals around your world. Tell your men to be extremely careful and to eliminate every single last one if they encounter a pack of them. Also, don't mistake them for savages, they are very intelligent as well." Qrow explained. Petras stayed silent for a minute and then sighed.

"I'll inform them about what these 'Grimm' can do Mr. Branwan." Petras said as he ended the call. Jack and Reyes snapped back to when the call ended.

"So... who you sending to each location Strike Commander?" Reinhardt asked. Jack put his hand on his chin as he thought about it. He then started to count everyone.

"Alright, so we have Lieutenant Reinhardt Wilhelm, Lieutenant Torbjorn Lindholm, Ruby Rose, Yang Xiao Long, Nora Valkyrie, Qrow Branwan, Angela Zeiglar, Gabriel Reyes, Ana Amari, Winston, Hanzo Shimada, and I. I heard Volskya has someone named Aleksandra Zaryanova so I'll send Ana, Hanzo, and Yang there. Reinhardt, Torbjorn, Ruby, and Angela will fly over to King's Row with Reyes leading them. Winston, Nora, Qrow, and I will head down to Numbani and see how the OR15s are holding out. We leave in 10 minutes. Let's get a move on!" Jack ordered. Everyone else nodded and left to get ready with their weapons and equipment.

"Heh so you're putting me in charge for once for something? That's new." Reyes said as he raised his eyebrow. Jack put his hand on Reyes's shoulder and sighed.

"Don't die on me brother." Jack said as he put out a fist bump. Reyes rolled his eyes and chuckled as he fists bumped Jack and they walked out of the room.

10 ½ minutes later

As everyone was waiting for the King's Row Strike Team to appear, Jack his team to get on the hovercraft for department and he waved to the others goodbye as they started to fly away to Numbani

"Alright let's get a move on." Reyes said as he walked in with Reinhardt, Ruby, Angela, and Torbjorn following close behind him. Reyes told Ana his farewells and got on his hovercraft to King's Row and they flew away.
