RWBY: The Fifth Kingdom

Chapter 3

Zentraul Naval Base, Texocranian Empire

The naval base in Zentraul is a lot of things; it was largest on the continent and all of Remnant. With ships that are absolutely massive, some are the length of the Burj Khalifa, and most are half the length. The ships are not seafaring, they are sky warships.

The largest class of heavily armed vessels are the Texaniss-class sky battleships, named after the empire's name. The hull resembles that of a Venator-class star destroyer, except it is smaller than it, and is thinner, more sleek, and streamlined. The superstructure is what looks like a mix of the superstructure from the Yamato-class battleships and the Venator's superstructure giving it a streamlined appeal. The class is armed with 24 685.8 mm (27 in) phaser cannons mounted in four quad gun turrets, two on the bow, two on the stern, and two underneath the hull. They also had 6 431.8 mm (17 in) phaser cannons mounted in two triple gun turrets on stern and bow behind and a little above the main phaser turrets. The Texaniss-class can also hold aircraft, but only up to 25 at most.

Then there are the sky cruisers and sky carriers. The sky cruisers are 2/3rds shorter than the Texoniss-class, but some are a bit shorter than that. The sky carriers, however; are by far, the largest vessels, they are half of a sky cruiser length longer than the Texoniss-class, these are called the Aratta-class sky carriers. They carry up to 560 aircraft and a number of 8 larger aircraft.

The Texocranian 2nd Fleet waits for the order to begin the operation and thousands of soldiers of General Zalegar's 4th Legion, both Faunus and Human, board the large troops ships that are bristling with anti-aircraft phaser guns and 4 11 inch duel barreled phaser turrets, along with tanks and other military equipment that are being loaded up inside.

Many people, soldiers and civilians alike turned and waved to their loved ones goodbye, and both Faunus and Human couples and even ones in Human/Faunus relationships.

Emperor Cartineerus arrived at the base later and gave out a speech wishing them luck. Soon, the ships rise from port and join with Admiral Denevikus' 2nd Fleet, consisting of the Texaniss-class sky battleships; (Imperial Texocranian Navy Ship) ITNS Seraniss and ITNS Kalevaniss, on the left and right side with the 15 troop ships making a ring around the sky carriers; ITNS Aratta and ITNS Saranatta. The fleet also consists of the 4 sky cruisers, each of them occupying the front, back and sides of the fleet, and the finally the 7 sky destroyers forming a ring around the fleet.

The massive Texocranian flag on one of the nearby skycrapers waves in the wind as if to say; goodbye and good luck. And the fleet leaves at 60 knots full speed and heads about northeast towards Vale, and soon the city-scape turns into blue ocean water.

The fleet approaches the shores of western Vacuo and a Vacuoan coastal village and passes by it, causing astonished and shocked civilians to look up. Once the fleet makes considerable distance from the village; the fleet's cloaking shields activate to keep the element of surprise and proceeds towards Vale.

Anonymous Coastal Village, Vacuo, Sanus

Same Time

Lisa Lavender was sitting at a beach cafe at a coastal village in eastern Vacuo, taking a break from her duties as a news reporter. She had received an alert earlier of what is happening in Vale, which she was horrified at what was happening there.

While she was eating; she heard a commotion going on nearby. She turned her head towards the commotion. People were pointing at something at the ocean's horizon with a stunned look on their faces.
