ch 7

"So you're telling me we aren't even on earth anymore, That everything back at the commonwealth is gone as we know it, " Hancock asked

"Yes but I have a question to ask you, do you know if anyone made it out of the diamond City raid," Markus asked

"Well the ones that made it to Goodneighbor was Danny, Travis, Ellie Perkins, and Piper's sister nat," Hancock said

Both piper and nick jumped up and yelled: "she's alive"

"Yeah if you want you can see them if the General here doesn't mind," Hancock said

They both looked at him " alright, but you have a week." Piper ran and hugged him then pecked him on the cheek. Next, he looked at Nick

"If you're expecting the same thing from me you're mistaken, but I will say thank you," Nick said

Markus looked at him deep in the eyes and said "aww Nicky you know you want a piece of this"

The room went quiet before Piper but into laughter, everyone else following

"Never change Markus," Nick said with a smile

After that whole ordeal, Piper and Nick walked out to a vertibird with Hancock.

"See you ALL in a weeks time," Markus said as he bid them farewell

"Now to worry about our food supply," Markus said to nobody in particular

Markus sighed then walked back to his office to find Preston who looked at him and asked

"General those people who were here earlier do you trust them"

"No, they are hiding many things especially that Ozpin guy, he has the age in his eyes that I only ever saw in Kellogg " Markus replied

"I saw that too, we need to keep our guard up, also do you have any work for me, I am getting pretty restless just sitting here," Preston responded

"Hmmm well, we could use someone to go around and remind people we are here and also tell settlements that ours, we are going to help any way we can but you can't go alone so take team alpha," Markus told him

"Yes sir, thank you general" Preston said then left

Markus walked over to his bed and sat down and roamed his mind looking for anything to keep him busy but instead fell asleep

A week later and things are shaping up the castle has more fortifications, Preston returned with a group of new recruits from a settlement in the west, Sturges has made awesome progress on the roads and city even adding a  newspaper stand and detective agency for nick and Piper,

Speaking of which both have returned with their friends and family members and have chosen to take up their previous jobs. Preston is in charge of training the recruits and Sturges is working on the city leaving me with nothing....until Ozpin and 8 teens stepped off of an aircraft.

"Good morning General Markus these are the two teams that will be in your care for the next month or so, first is team RWBY, please introduce yourself, students,"

"Hiya im ruby rose"
"It's a pleasure to meet you, sir, my name is Weiss Schnee
" Blake Belladonna"
"Hey there im yang but you can call me later"

"I am very pleased to meet you, Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and later," Markus said with a sly grin

The first three looked horrified but yang had a very big grin on her face

"Anyway next we have team JNPR
Students Introduce yourself." Ozpin said

"Jaune Arc"

"Pyrrha Nikos"

"NORA VALKYRIE!!!!"

"Lie Ren"

"Awesome my name is Markus North, General of the Minutemen, we are a force of good protecting anyone in danger, our motto is 'there at a minutes notice' we are a collection of  everyone and anyone looking to do good in the world, we just recently saved a faunas village from a small Grimm attack, many of which joined us," Markus explained

the reaction of the 8 was similar, Ruby,jaune, Nora, and Blake had stars in their eyes while the rest just looked impressed.

Markus chuckled at the reaction "well then why don't I show you around this place. To start we have the castle the main headquarters of the minutemen this fort is a little over 595 years old but it is perfectly safe, once we enter the fort we have the courtyard we use it for training. if you look in the middle that stage is for announcements and speeches.

" Next I will show you the interior of the wall"  they walked into the walls and looked around

"When I was remodeling the place I added multiple dorms to accommodate the minutemen but even after all that we ran out of space so we had to build more housing so if you follow me I can show you all something absolutely amazing."

They all walked up a set of stairs leading to the top of the wall where they saw a large metal thing that looked like a gun.

"This here is our artillery we can fire this up to 200 miles away, but we can't fire at anything to close or we risk...well death," Markus explained

"Umm general sir do you think we could possibly mayyyyybe have a demonstration of the artillery," Ruby asked

Markus grabbed a walkie talkie and talked to someone then the 8 could see a blue smoke far in the distance they looked at him but over the radio, loudspeakers they heard "we see your smoke preparing to fire" the guns turned and went up a bit then fired, of in the distance they could see a large explosion.

"Ceasing fire"

They all looked at Markus who had a smile on his face "Man I do love the Artillery."

"Well let's continue" they all nodded, and followed

They walked out of the castle down a road that leads to an area with a bunch of houses.

"This area has just been built this week because of the influx of recruits so, unfortunately, you can't get your own home but I will allow you to have four in one or all eight in one."

The eight formed a circle and discussed this for a while until Jaune walked up and said "we choose to have separate houses for each team"

"Very well have fun but be back at noon I need to discuss some stuff later," Markus said then walked away
