-A bright light appears as The cast of RWBY appear in the theater seats with confusion-
"Gah!? Where are We?!" Shouts Ruby, as "I don't know sis!" Says Yang.
"Oz, got Any ideas where we are?" Asked Qrow.
"I have not in the slightest idea of where we are, Qrow," Answered Ozpin
"I can't find which location we are in," Penny Said.
-A white Orb appears- "Hello Inhabitants, I am Host, I brought you all here for a purpose," it says.
"And What purpose is that then?" Ask Ironwood.
"To see other universes, with different possibilities" it answered.
"Tch..." mutters Roman,
"Ro-" said Ironwood before being interrupted.
" NO FIGHTS IN MY DOMAIN!!" The orb shouts.
"Woah Dude! Okay chill out!" Said Sun.
"Anger issues..." mutters Coco.
"No kidding... " said Neptune in agreement.
" Now let's begin shall we?" The orb says as the Screen light up.

An African-American man is seen sleeping on his bed as the song "Dream A Little Dream Of Me" plays throughout. The man shifts in sleep, seemingly in anxiety, while a woman tries to calm him down. The man suddenly opens his eyes, and the scene cuts to a World War I warzone. The man, revealed to be a Harlem Hellfighter, wakes up lying in the mud and is pulled up by another soldier. As he slowly recovers his senses, he sees many American, French and Imperial German soldiers stabbing or beating each other to death, while the song continues to play. One German soldier charges at him with his bayonet, but the Hellfighter dodges the attack and stabs him with his combat knife. The song fades out, and the Hellfighter is seen holding his rifle before the game cuts to black.

"Holy fuck! Shouts Qrow as the others were horrified of what just happen before their eyes.
"W-what was that?!" Yelled Ruby as she shivered in fear and horror.
While Qrow put his drink away as he stare at the paused screen.
"That was a war in another world....Young Rose..." The Orb said.

More than 60 million soldiers fought in "The War to End All Wars".
"My Oum....." Whispers Ironwood. "60.... million?......" said Winter. "B-But where their Aura?!" Shouted Yang. "aura and dust or grimm doesn't exist in this world you are seeing....." The orb tell them.
"No aura..." Said Glynda.
"No dust?.." said Roman.
"Damn" writed Neo.
"The war to end all wars?...." Whispers kali
It ended nothing.
"So true..." Thought Ozpin.
Yet it changed the world forever.
What follows is frontline combat.

You are not expected to survive.

The player looks down at his weapon, an M1909 Benét-Mercié light machine gun. A Harlem Hellfighter officer gives orders to the player.

Harlem Hellfighter Officer: We're surrounded! We have to hold this line!

The soldier gets ready to defend the position with his machine gun.
The soldier then hefted his LMG and started making his way towards the rest. While he was going, a giant metal vehicle drove past him as well as a few soldiers who were busy dragging the dead and wounded comrades back to safety. When he finally met up with his allies, some explosions broke out all over the place as mortar shells rained upon them.

"They're coming!", a soldier yelled out.

"It happening guys.... " Said Coco as Everyone were either on the edge of their seats or staring at the screen nervously.

As soon as the soldier took position at the window and mounted his LMG, an officer blew his whistle loudly, signalling that the enemy force was now attacking.

"Here they come! Fire at will!", an officer yelled.

The soldier scanned the barren wasteland for targets as enemy infantry started charging his and his comrades' position with deafening war cries. Since the enemy's uniforms helped them blend in with the grim landscape so perfectly, the machine gunner resorted to open fire on anything that was seen moving instead.
