OverRemnant Volume III - The Remnant Uprising

Chapter IV - The Test Subjects

"What do you mean by 'the future', Winston?" Jack asked questionably.

"Uh, well...it's a bit complicated to explain sir. Mostly they must have traveled through a wormhole or maybe our wormhole device set off a chain reaction of portals in a different time in our dimension. Somehow these two are proving Einstein's theory of relativity. It's fascinating." Winston said. Jack sighed and put his hand on his head.

"This sh*t is getting too confusing. First the whole thing about Reinhardt and Remnant, but now people from the people and omnics from the future? This is ridiculous. Why do I feel like there's more to this? Like there is a bigger plot that we are not seeing. For now, we are just going to have to deal with Salem and her Grimm and find out what these 'test' subjects that Akande and Tyrain are going to use." Jack said.

"Well Orisa and I were going to go patrol around the refugee to see if any of these 'Grimm' you guys speak of are hanging around." Said Lucio.

"I'll join you two for back up." Jack said.

"You sure? I think you might need time to relax." Lucio said.

"There is no time to relax for a soldier unless they are dead. I'm coming with you two whether you like it or not." Jack replied.

Ok then." Lucio responded.

A few minutes later after getting their equipment ready, the three headed out of the refugee and started to patrol the streets around the refugee. Jack looked around and surveyed each street they passed with his HPR ready to fire. He sighed and continued walking with Orisa and Lucio.

"My scanners tell me that you are stressed Mr. Morrison." Orisa spoke.

"I'm fine." Jack growled.

"Sir, I request that you go back to base. You are deprived of sleep." Orisa responded

"I said I am fi..." Jack paused and looked behind him as he heard something passed them. "Orisa...put your shield down when I tell you." Jack aimed his HPR up and started to slowly walk forward a few feet and then stopped.

"NOW!" Jack ordered and fired a helix rocket at a corner of a building and two beings bolted from the building into the open. Orisa quickly put her shield down and used her fusion driver and fired a swarm of gunshots at the two. One of the two stopped and fired a shot from their gauntlet at Jack but was intercepted by a rocket a few feet away from Jack but the shockwave dragged him a couple feet back. Suddenly a man wearing mask with a red visor jumped out from the building behind him and landed and started firing at the being.

"Are you ok down there, sir?" Said a voice on Jack's headset.

"What? Who is this?" Jack asked.

"You and your team need to get out of here now." Said the voice. Jack growled and stood up and stood by the soldier and activated his tactical visor and started firing rounds of bullets at the two beings. The other being showed itself at the soldier's side and was about to swing its giant hammer but Jack then suddenly tackled the being and took a close look at the being.

"Ms. Valkyrie? No, you're not her." Jack said and came to the conclusion that this was one of the test subjects that Qrow was talking about. The test subject kneed Jack in the gut and then threw him off sending him tumbling a few feet away. Suddenly the air was filled with a loud bang followed by something crashing down onto the street like a meteor. As the smoke cleared, a man wearing a giant gauntlet on his right arm emerged from the smoke.

"Well it seems like you're here too Akande." Said the soldier.

"It would appear so that you two are here as well. Although I am not surprised Morrison, or should I say Soldier: 76. Do you like our new creations? They're called Grimm beings." Akande chuckled.

"You better call this attack off Akande. Or else there will be dues to pay." Said 76. Jack got up with a confused look. Did Akande just call the soldier 'Morrison'? That must be a coincidence.
