As Jack, Qrow, and Nora scanned around the area they were walking through, they didn't find anything much other than dead bodies and debris from nearby buildings. The whole city of Numbani was in ruins. Jack sighed and shook his head slowly with a semi sad expression as he looked around.

"We should go and group back up with Winston. I want to know who the other two are." Jack said as he pulled out his tablet and looked at the coordinates that the scientist sent him. Nora sighed heavily and dropped to her knees with exhaustion.

"Yea, I am so exhausted from fighting and traveling and all of this. I'm so hungry too." Nora whimpered.

"You two can go on ahead to the monkey, I am going to try to find where these Grimm are coming from. I'll meet up with you guys later." said Qrow as he walked off and then used his semblance to turn into a crow and he flew off into the sky. Jack blinked a couple times and sighed with confusion.

"Although it has only been a couple days knowing you guys, but I am still amazed by your group's abilities." Jack said. Nora tried to get up and was using her hammer as a staff to balance herself. Jack wrapped her arm around the back of neck to help her walk.

"Th... thanks." Nora said as she blushed and smiled. Jack nodded and the two walked off to Winston's location while being cautious of their surroundings.

[Meanwhile with Qrow]

As Qrow flew around the city, he found nothing but the ruined city below. A sudden howl filled the air making him turn around to see a Beowolf howling near a building. Qrow flew down and landed on a glass dome to see a white man with a scorpion tail and a tall black man with a huge golden right arm that was twice the size of his left arm.

"So, Mr. Akande, what is your plan which this city here." chuckled the scorpion tail man. Akande turned to the man with a blank expression.

"I've chosen this city Tyrian because I know the Overwatch of this time would send a team here which Winston would mostly come here as well. He is the one who I want to fight and destroy the most. Only through battle do we evolve." Akande spoke. Tyrian chuckled again and clapped gleefully.

"Oooohohohohohoo. You sure have an excellent motive unlike Salem." Tyrian said. A man in black and white armor with a red glow walked up to the two and bowed in front of Akande.

"The test subjects are ready sir. Would you like to see them?" Said the man.

"Indeed, I would captain." Akande responded and the portal suddenly closed.

"It seems we've got a spy Akande." Tyrian chuckled as he looked up and saw a black crow which then flew off.

"Go after him then. I will go and see the test subjects." Akande said as he walked off.

"With pleasure." Tyrian said as he bolted out of the building and jumped high onto the side of a building and jumped off to chase Qrow.

"I'm coming for you bird man!" Tyrian cackled as he caught up to Qrow. He flew down and reverted back to his human form and pulled out his sword and swung it at the scorpion faunus who wasn't anywhere to be seen.

"Hmph...what a letdown. I might as well go and find Jack and the others." Qrow said as he walked off.

[39 minutes later]

As Qrow walked to the refugee, he saw Jack out front. It seemed like he was guarding the entrance. Qrow waved from where he was and Jack waved back.

"Anything out of the ordinary out there?" Jack asked?

"Yea I got something for ya. Ever heard of a man named Acande?" Qrow responded.

"Akande Ogundimu? What about him?" Jack asked.

"Well it appears he is leading an army of soldiers at a museum or whatever. Also, his whole right arm was like twice his size. It was gold and the fist was huge. They also came through some sort of portal like we went through. One last thing, one of the queen's right-hand men are also here leading an army of Grimm to attack the city." Qrow explained

"Wait....did you say the fist was gold and nearly twice the size and an average hand." Jack asked as his eyes widened with fear.

"Well kind of yea." Qrow replied.

"Oh god... we need to find him now. We can't let him have that object he is wielding. The Doomfist can level skyscrapers." Jack said quickly.

"Hold up, I am still not done. I was listening in on what Akande and Tyrain were talking about until a soldier came up and told them that the ' test subjects ' were ready." Qrow said. Jack sighed and walked into the refugee with Qrow.

"Let's go tell Winston about your findings then. Although he won't like it one bit." Jack said. Qrow nodded as they walked off. A few buildings away, someone was watching what the two were doing. The person picked up their sniper rifle and walked off.

"Why does that man look like the younger version of him. I better go tell Morrison about this..." Said the sniper as they walked off. The person opened a door to that led to a staircase into the building and they walked down. A few minutes later, the sniper opened a door to see a man with a large scar going down his face.

"Morrison...I think we have an impersonator of your younger self." Said the sniper.

"I know...I saw him...he looks just like me when I was younger. My guess is that he has something to do with this new crisis. What do you think Ana?" said Morrison.

"He might be involved with the situation." said 76. Ana leaned down and picked up a nearly ruined newspaper. (A/N: I'm gonna have young Jack Morrison to be Jack and Old Morrison as 76. As for Ana, I'll have Amari (Young Captain Amari) and Ana (Old Ana) )

"Or we could be in the past...strangely." Ana said as she showed the newspaper date to 76 making him raise an eyebrow.

"If that was meant to be a joke then it's not a good one." Jack squinted.

"Well it could be possible. Who knows?" Ana said. Jack growled a bit and looked out the boarded-up window.

"We'll intercept them tomorrow. You get some rest. I'll take the first watch." Jack said as he picked up his HPR.

[to be continued...]

???: It seems like we have a little problem evil queen...

????: What is it this time?

???: Apparently, we are intercepting another timeline...

????: Well what would you expect if the people of a future timeline entered the past? Something was bound to happen so we might as well get rid of the problem but who are the ones who entered this time space?

???: We have about 6 of them...4 are located where Tyrain and Akande are, 1 at Volskya, and 2 at King's Row.

????: Then I'll send my newest Grimm out to the field...I hope they'll enjoy their fun slaughtering them...
