Date: June 15, 1944

Location: The Marianas island, Saipan

After the Battle of Tarawa Ruby and her Team were now being deployed to an island called Saipan. If the Americans were to capture Saipan its air fields could be used for B-29 Superfortress bombers to hit Japan it self. So the Island was a big goal in itself that the Marines had to take it by force. Team RWBY and the US Marines have a long campaign of taking the island from the Japanese as they hardly surrender at all.

Time skip brought to you by Yang Firing a M1919....

Now After Team RWBY had shown what they can do on Tarawa the Marines now hold a great respect to each of the girls. So much so that the Marine corps Had made a Poster with Team RWBY on it charging into battle with the poster saying "JOIN THE MARINE CORPS TO SERVE YOUR COUNTRY". That got more recruits into the Marine Corps then anything else and of course the more the better. Now Team RWBY along with the Marines are now heading to the beaches of Saipan.

"Alright you ready for this Ruby?" Yang asked her young sister.

"Ready as I will ever be." Ruby said while closing the bolt on her Springfield sniper. "But hey this is what we joined to do."

"Yeah and I'm glad that we are doing our part." Blake said.

"I just hope this will go smoothly unlike Tarawa, but that probably won't happen." Weiss said as she loaded up her M1 Carbine. By now all the Girls of team RWBY were now one year older. Weiss, Blake and Yang were 18 and Ruby was 16. The war had effected team RWBY and even leaving them with emotional scars. But the Girls could not let that bother them as they had a job to do. Then when the landing craft hit the beach the Girls and the Marines jumped out and landed on the sandy beach without coming under enemy fire which surprised everyone to say the least.

"That's odd where are the enemy defenses?" Ruby asked.

"I don't know but they aren't here." Blake said.

"But at least we got onto the beach no problem." Yang said. "But that makes me wonder If they aren't here are they just defending on the Main ground itself?"

Then in just a matter of a couple hours a beach head was secured and the Marines were moving in land. But as the Marines move more inland they discover that the Japanese defenders are waiting for them in bunkers that connected from under ground. Then as Team RWBY was Patrolling with some of the Marines Escorted by M4 Shermans they suddenly came under fire from a Pile box bunker that was about 20 feet height dug into the ground. Team RWBY and the Marines then took cover behind the tanks in order to not get shot.

However Ruby then Poked her rifle from Behind the Tank and took aim at the Japanese gunners inside the Pillbox. She took aim at one of the machine gunners and pulled the trigger putting a hole in his helmet. But just as he fell another one took his place and Ruby shot him as well. But then a Japanese sniper in the pill box notices Ruby and Takes aim at her and then pulled the trigger.

"GGAAHH!!" Ruby screamed as the bullet hit her and she fell out of cover.

"RUBY!!" Yang yelled as she grabbed her sister and pulled her back into cover. Blake and Weiss provided cover fire to cover Yang as she pulled her Little sister out of harms way. She then check to see how bad her wound was. The Bullet then hits Ruby in the neck but just grazed the left side of it, but it did hurt and started bleeding. Ruby's Aura didn't protect her much and she put her left hand on her neck to keep it from bleeding too much.

"Corpsman!!" Yang yelled and soon one came running towards them almost getting shot, but Lucky for him Yang grabbed the Corpsman from all the bullets and then he started working on Ruby's wound by applying Medical cloth around her neck to stop the bleeding. Then the medic added morphine to her to stop the pain from the shot. The whole process only took a couple of minutes to fix Ruby's wound.

"Thanks doc, I owe you one." Ruby said.

"Anytime, Captain." He said. "I'm needed else where good luck!" He then ran off to another group to help with the injured. Ruby watch the Corpsman as he ran off to another injured man. Then Ruby saw flame tank Approaching there position to burn out the Japanese defenders. Then as soon as the Flame tanks were close enough they lit up the pillbox with its Flamethrower and pretty soon cries from the Japanese defenders could be heard and they then came running out of the pill box on fire.

Yang then went to a position when she could unload on the enemy when they came running out and sure enough they did.

"Die you Bastards!!! Yang Yelled as she Fire on her M1919 on full auto as they were coming out of the pill box and many other Marines joined her in firing at them.

(Skip to 0:30 to full auto)

(This is how the Flame tank worked. Image it shooting fire at the pillbox.)

 After that the Marines continued forward but not until after they had physically destroyed the position so it couldn't be used anymore

After that the Marines continued forward but not until after they had physically destroyed the position so it couldn't be used anymore. But as Team RWBY and the Marines kept moving forward they kept running into Pillboxes, dug in machine gun emplacements and even Bazzai charges if the enemy was really desperate. However everyone in the marine formation had to keep their heads up to engage the enemy. The Heat was really hot and was having effect on everyone.

Yang had rolled up her sleeves in order to try and stay cool and the rest of Team RWBY followed and so did the Marines. The fighting went on through out the day and into the next one as they had to destroy every defense position for it not to be used ever again. It was slow going as the Japanese threw counter attacks at the Marines whenever they could and of course Team RWBY had to step in and help the Marines take them out one by one. The figthing was tiring the Marines and Team RWBY as well but they were making progress.

Of course just into the second day they had finally reached one of the air strips and the end of day 2. This gave a chance for the Marines to rest up and have the rest of their forces move up to the front lines with them. However as they settled down for the night little did they know of the massive counter attack the Japanese were gonna pull.

Time skip to about Late at night.....

Team RWBY can be seen sleeping inside a tent on cots with Mosquito Netting around them to keep Mosquitos out. Ruby was having a dream of when she was playing around with her mother Summer Rose. But then Ruby woke up and had to get some fresh air, but as she walked out of the tent she could hear the sound of engine noises in the distance. Ruby backed into the tent slowly before she ran into Blake witch made Ruby Jump a little.

"Aaaahhh, Blake don't do that!" Ruby quietly yelled.

"Sorry." Blake said. "Do you here that?" Ruby then listened carefully and heard the sound of tank tracks and they weren't Sherman's. The 2 then ran outside the tent and looked over a hill near the airfield and saw many Japanese tanks charging down the hill straight at the Marines Guns blazing. They looked in shock as this was happening and then they both went to get Yang and Weiss up. They were in for a big battle.
