Chapter 8

Sarge: Of course I'm familiar with those.

Ozpin: Grey comes from the bloodline of a powerful warrior. This warrior could use the stones of Remnant to their will. They stopped a giant humanoid Grimm from wiping out entire cities. Grey has those exact abilities. With enough training he'll be that warrior.

Sarge: I've heard a bit of that one.

Ozpin: Ajax's semblance is a very powerful one. It relates to a strong man with the Ajax. In the myths, Ajax is a strong warrior that aids Achilles in a battle of Troy. Ajax's semblance can make him as strong as this one.

Sarge: That sounds strange. I haven't come across that one.

Ozpin: It's a little out of this world, you could say. Trenton's importance isn't about his semblance, but his weapon. Only those it considers worthy of wielding it can truly use it fully. He is the second person to wield it. The first was a respectable warrior. This person wasn't good nor evil. They believed in keeping peace no matter how it got done. Even if it meant killing. A few years ago, they have died. Before they did, they had the weapon seek out for anyone worthy enough to wield it.

Sarge: That was pretty recent. What of Ray?

Ozpin: I found this one interesting. Ray's semblance is light. Once every few generations a member of the family gains this semblance. The light can be used in many different ways. He can use nonlethal forms of light can be used to temporarily blind people and Grimm. When it comes to offense, the light can get as hot a sun. He's starting to get a hang of that last one.

Sarge: That's kind of cool. Trent wasn't lying about the team being overpowered. Would have been interesting to see them in the tournament though.

Ozpin: The other kingdoms would have thought of it as an unfair advantage. There was a petition to send one of the members to go up against a team or two, but there wasn't enough votes.

Sarge: Who were they planning on sending?

Ozpin: My guess would be either Trenton or Ray. We just needed another vote.

Sarge: Damn. That's what that petition was for. I thought it was another one of those where someone wants a character to show up in a game or something.

Ozpin: You prevented one of the greatest things that everyone could have seen. However, things wouldn't be as they are now.

Sarge: We would have lost more students.

As the sun rises, Trenton gets up, grunting. He stretches, his joints making a cracking sound.

Trenton: Damnit. Not again.

Ray: Great, you're up.

Trenton turns and sees his teammates getting up and ready.

Trenton: Were you guys watching me sleep?

Ray: No, we passed out. We're just now getting up.

Trenton: Alright? T Computer, show me what happened.

Grimm Trent: I can tell you.

Trenton: (Shh! I want to make use of this.)

T Computer: Showing playback.

Trenton watches as the visor pulls up the video. As Trenton gets ready to leave, Sarge fires a tranq.

Trenton: Pause playback.

The video stops.

Trenton: Zoom in on the dart.

The footage zooms in on the dart.

Trenton: Payback will be a bitch, Sarge. Zoom out and continue playback.

The video zooms out and continues as Trenton watches himself fall face first into the doorway.

Trenton: Cancel playback. Thank you.

T Computer: You're welcome, sir.

The video closes and Trenton looks at his teammates.

Trenton: Really?! The fuckin' doorway!?

Grey, Ajax, and Ray just shrug. Trenton facepalms and sighs.

Trenton: Whatever. Planning time.

The four head out to find Sarge, Qrow, and Oscar/Ozpin.

Grimm Trent: They're just outside.

Trenton: (Got it.)

Team GATR exits the building and meets up with said people, Oscar in control of his own body.

Sarge: Alright, Trent. You're the one with the insider information. How should we go about this shit?

Grimm Trent: Only you are able to get in undetected. You would need backup nearby incase something goes wrong.

Trenton: I'll need a Raven or two on standby. It should be a quick in and out. With how things are, something could go wrong.

Grey: We'll tag along with you.

Trenton: No. You're all needed here. Sarge would be the better option, as he is more knowledgeable about base layouts and weaponry.

Sarge: Speaking of weaponry. You'll be needing this.

Sarge hands Trenton a grappling hook that fits on the wrist.

Trenton: We bringing Advanced Warfare back?

Trenton equips it to his right wrist.

Sarge: Guess so. Get something to eat before we head out.

Trenton: Okay, "mother."

Trenton walks off to grab some food. As he does, he walks past a few Gears and some friends.

Jaune: Hey, Trent.

Trenton: Hey, Jaune. How are holding up?

Jaune: I'm doing a little better than I was. What about you?

Trenton: Great now that I've found Ozpin. I'm heading back out today.

Jaune: Doing what?

Trenton: Infiltrating an enemy base. Salem seems to have another army working for her. Yesterday, I saw Grimm Yang with my own eyes. She had a type of gun I've never come across before. It looked new and advanced. If I can grab some weapons from this base, we can prepare ourselves to go for round two and beat Salem.

Jaune: Well, I wish you luck.

Trenton: Thanks. Keep practicing your training, you'll get your semblance eventually.

Trenton finishes eating and heads over to Sarge, who is standing by a Raven with some Gears.

Trenton: We ready?

Sarge: We are now.

They board the Raven and start taking off alongside another.

Sarge: Alright, Trent, punch in the coordinates.

Trenton starts typing in the coordinates that Grimm Trent tells him.

Sarge: You sure you can do this?

Trenton: In and out. Twenty minute adventure.

Sarge: Just say "yes." There's no need to be extra. It was a simple "yes or no" question.

Trenton: Just sit down, relax, and wait 'til we reach my drop point.

A while later, they can see a base in the distance.

Trenton: That's the place. Drop me off here. If we get any closer they'll blow us out of the sky.

Pilot: Good luck out there.

Trenton: I'll radio in when I need backup.

Trenton jumps out and uses a last minute landing strategy. He throws down his weapon and uses enough electricity to make it hover, landing on it before landing on the ground. As Trenton steps forward, he hears a few explosions. He turns behind him and sees the Ravens going down.

Trenton/Grimm Trent: Son of a bitch.
