Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })XCOM: RWBY Within is a crossover Fanfic by DrAmishMD, combining universes of Rooster Teeth's RWBY and Firaxis Games' XCOM: Enemy Unknownnote including the Enemy Within Expansion Pack and the Long War Game Mod.On a routine mission, the team RWBY found a mysterious portal to an unknown place. After Yang dashed through it, causing rest of the team to follow her, young Huntresses found themselves in a base of the XCOM unit, a multinational organization protecting the planet from Alien Invasion. Stuck in a different world with seemingly no way of returning home, the team decides to lend their skills to end the war as soon as possible - but without their Aura and with unknown technology surrounding them, it will be much harder than they think...The fic has a sequel, XCOM: Remnant Unknown, taking place on Remnant after the war. A third story (to be named) is planned after taking a year long break.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })There's also Tales from the Anthill, a collection of tales which take place in-between various chapters of RWBY Within. It also has Tales from the Avenger which presents various stories set between the chapters of Remnant Unknown. However, these stories aren't written by DrAmishMD but by other authors from his Discord server.It has also spawned a Recursive Fanfiction that has gained the approval of the original fanfic's author, that is a continuation of Things XCOM Operatives Are No Longer Allowed to Do that can be accessed here. | |

Anyone Can Die: Which shouldn't be surprising, considering difficulty of the source material. RWBY's first mission ends with a soldier killed, and it only goes downhill from there. | |

Reality Ensues | |
| XCOM: RWBY Within / Fan Fic / int_1d9a2764 | comment |
Reality Ensues: Blake's semblance allows her to create shadow copies of her body. After losing her limbs, her shadow copies also lack limbs, in part due to her subconsciously thinking of her artificial limbs as not being part of her. Vahlen eventually creates a small, portable hologram projector for Blake to wear that projects limbs onto her copies, allowing her to cover up her accident. Regardless of how well Vahlen makes artificial limbs, they lack any sort of false skin, and hitting metal sounds different from hitting flesh. Because of this, Arslan is able to tell that Blake and Yang have artificial limbs, as she could hear the sound of metal being struck whenever she hit Yang's limbs during the match between their teams. Blake has trouble balancing after Adam manages to cut off one of her artificial limbs. Despite Cinder's speech, Chapter 29 reveals that the claims of some woman they've never met hasn't tarnished the people of Patch's view of Taiyang, the hunter who has spent years defending them, and that most of them still support XCOM, especially since they know XCOM lost people evacuating and defending civilians from Amity and Beacon, and has spent their time at Patch helping repair machines and setting up an early warning system for the town, with some even doubting Cinder's claims of being responsible for bringing the CCTS back online and having the power of a Maiden. Same goes for many of the hunter trainees who fought alongside them, and Junior, who does have some suspicions, but knows that XCOM hasn't lied to him, and that the operatives they've lent him have done excellent work. No matter how hard Cinder works or how many resources she expends, nothing will change the fact that XCOM is primarily made up of elite commandos who just came out of a brutal war for the survival of their planet backed up by some of the most brilliant scientists and engineers on Earth, while the ADVENT peacekeepers are primarily just highly motivated volunteers with very little in the way of actual experience. Also, while some Hunters have joined ADVENT, the majority haven't, partially because of her speech denouncing them. After Coco made a joke to XCOM's therapist about how "if she died, at least she wouldn't be gunning down anymore stadiums full of people", he makes a note to Bradford recommending that she be put on suicide watch, since even a joke can hint at something worse. Cinder's attempt to suggest that XCOM wasn't really involved in the defense of Menagerie due to taking very few casualties is shot down on the grounds that number of casualties does not correlate to level of involvement. | |

Nom de Guerre | |
| XCOM: RWBY Within / Fan Fic / int_22725d56 | comment |
Nom de Guerre: Like in the game, RWBY eventually gets nicknames based on their exploits. Ruby: No-Scope, due to her near-impossible sniping precision. Weiss: Elsa, coined by Vahlen as a nicer replacement for her standard "Ice Queen" nickname. Blake: Sabretooth, both after saber-toothed catnote After accidentally outing herself as a Faunus and the X-Men character. After she becomes a MEC Trooper, MacAuley tries to get people to call her Wolverine, but it doesn't catch on. Yang: BFG, due to her love of explosions. JNPR similarly get their own nicknames eventually after they arrive. Jaune: Dakka, because as gunner, you can never have too much Dakka. Pyrrha: Ares, given her armor's similarity to Greco-Roman armor and her impressive fighting skills. Nora: Hammertime, because her weapon is a hammer. Ren: Shrike, because of his agile fighting style and Stormflower's ability to impale Ren's foes. | |

No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Implied Trope. After an operative tricked L.Cpl. Arc into trying to inject himself with EXALT's Happy Fun Time Syringe, and the plan failing because Jaune's Aura broke the syringe tip on contact, Pyrrha offered her services to XCOM to give a "once in a lifetime chance to get a hand to hand combat from a Huntress" to the offender.

Chapter 28 ends with Cinder turning the CCTS back on, making a speech claiming that she is the good guy, revealing the Maidens are real, denouncing Ozpin, the Hunters, and XCOM, calling the other maidens to join her and her new order, and claiming that they are on the cusp of a new era, the ADVENT of a tomorrow that nobody thought possible. And then Bradford is informed that the citizens of Patch are gathering outside of the landed Avenger... | |

There's No Kill Like Overkill: When XCOM realized that the aliens are using corpses to deploy Grimm, Ruby notices that those from the corpses that Weiss Double Tapped tend to come out weaker. Deconstructed in the sequel. During the fight with team ABRN, Weiss decides to make sure that Arslan stays down by hitting her with a Boarbatusk after she had already been beaten down so thoroughly that she was driven to tears. Afterward, when Ruby asks if it was necessary, Weiss admits that it was not, and Ozpin scolds the team for being overly aggressive in a tournament fight. | |

Likewise, Weiss and Dr. Vahlen have an extremely close familial relationship; both explicitly see the other as their adopted mother and their daughter respectively. Which, given what one might generously call canon Schnee family dynamics, which have only gotten worse in REMCOM!Remnant, and that Moira's own home life by her own admission wasn't exactly great, is quite natural. | |

| XCOM: RWBY Within / Fan Fic / int_46118dc5 | comment |
Adult Fear: One for both Taiyang and Dr. Shen. For Taiyang, seeing Yang reveal she lost her limbs and having been unable to do anything about it. For Shen, being separated from Lily during the Battle of Beacon, with none of the XCOM strike team able to find her for the duration of the fighting. During the St. Louis Terror mission, Ruby encounters a little boy who's wondering where his mother is. She guesses what happened almost immediately. | |

Drop the Hammer | |
| XCOM: RWBY Within / Fan Fic / int_465966a3 | comment |
Drop the Hammer: After applying a little "Remnant magic," the Plasma Dragon gets an upgrade allowing it to transform into a giant hammer. Zhang is particularly fond of using this to fight Berserkers. Later on, after the huntsmen's auras are restored, Nora does not hesitate in using Magnhild in the field again. | |

Walking Disaster Area: Captain Beagle, who's an expy of famous XCOM: Long War Let's Player and Shack Tactical alumnus Beaglerush, whose real-life insistence on cranking the difficulty level up to the point where the developers thought it was logically impossible to win and then doing it anyway is famous throughout the playerbase. The author turns this into an in-universe reputation for Beagle as the Strike Team leader who always has seemingly routine missions go spectacularly awry through no fault of his own, yet somehow manages to come through with no worse casualties than average for XCOM. | |

Intergenerational Friendship: Ruby and Shen are close friends, bonding over their love of engineering. Weiss and Vahlen are also close friends, bonding when Weiss helps her deal with her reputation and lack of social skills, with Weiss becoming her closest friend outside of the Command Staff and developing an interest in science and research, and Vahlen being the one who gives Weiss her Nom de Guerre. | |

Brought Down to Badass: They might not have access to their Auras or Semblances, but Team RWBY still have their skills and training. Once they get used to wearing proper armor and adapt their individual fighting styles to local weaponry, they go right back to kicking ass. In fact, if anything they get even more badass because now they have to compensate for their lack of Nigh-Invulnerability and various individual superpowers by learning better tactics, which also leads into some Character Development. | |

Power Incontinence/Rage Breaking Point: During Cinder's speech in Chapter 28 of Remnant Unknown, her pretending to be the good guy angers Pyrrha so much that she starts using her semblance. Despite the scene being from Bradford's point-of-view, and him being in a completely different part of the ship, we know this because she starts making the entire Avenger shake, which is followed by Vahlen broadcasting a message across the ship informing everyone that Pyrrha is the cause... while Pyrrha can be heard in the background shouting "YOU BITCH. YOU LYING, FUCKING BITCH" | |

It gives Blake enough time to force him in the path of a collapsing building, and even after it crushes him, the only response he can muster to seeing her calmly pick her severed arm up is "What... what the fuck?". | |

Heroic Sacrifice: Contains all three types. Corporal Biggs dies on Strike 8's first mission in order to fire a crucial rocket. The first PennySHIV, Elim "Bolts" Gustavo, and Major Vance all die in order to hold off the Chryssalids on the Site Recon mission. Colonel Zhang dies during the final Base Defense mission after fighting his way from the med bay to the laboratory and organizing a final defense that ends up pushing the aliens back Knowing something is up with Merlot's augmentation program, Winter volunteers to go undercover for Ironwood and undergo Merlot's procedure. She tells Weiss the night before that she knows full well that it may well - likely will - kill her or at least kill her as Weiss knows her and does it anyway. The result is a near-complete death of self to the point of being willing to inflict Merlot's symbiont on Weiss. It's only prevented from actually ending in her death by the combined efforts of Vahlen and the science team, Volunteer Annette Durand, and literal friendly Ethereal Asaru. | |

Turned out, another squad has gone dark and tried to pass a secret message that people familiar with a squad member's dick jokes will notice and has even further encrypted the transmission. Upon learning that, the officer asks if the comm specialist can "look for another Johnson". | |

Spared by the Adaptation: Both Penny and Pyrrha end up surviving the Battle of Beacon, however Pyrrha ended up paralyzed from the neck down after the fight with Cinder, and the original Penny is highjacked by Cinder's virus, requiring the intervention of XCOM!Penny to shut her down Torchwick isn't eaten by a Grimm, and survives his fall off the Atlesian cruiser, only to be captured by Taiying. | |

| XCOM: RWBY Within / Fan Fic / int_76b4b7dd | comment |
The Comically Serious: After Zhang's fall from grace, Operative Lie Ren takes up his mantle as the Only Sane Man, being the only character not to have any antics of his ending up being prohibited, and to have his request to be left alone while he is busy meditating granted as he "doesn't asks much". However, this makes him great comedy fodder as antics happen to him... Nora deciding to wake him up with an Arc Thrower because Ren is Not a Morning Person. An unnamed operative has attempted to build a house of cards on top of him while he was meditating. | |

Shell-Shocked Veteran: Most of the team RWBY, to a degree. In the sequel, in addition to both RWBY and JNPR having trouble with being overly brutal, Blake has developed a severe case of PTSD, to the point that Ruby needs to tackle Blake to stop her from killing Reese after she imagines Reese is a Chryssalid during the match with Team ABRN. Ruby herself nearly ends up blowing Cardin's head off when he unexpectedly puts his hand on her shoulder. After accidentally killing numerous civilians and starting the Downfall of Beacon, Coco develops some serious issues, and it's revealed that XCOM's therapist has put her on suicide watch. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech: In the sequel, Ruby gives one to Team ABRN after they say that losing a tournament match to Team RWBY has left them wondering what they're doing with their lives. Annette Durand gives their team lead another speech for sulking about the first one: Feeling humiliated after your team gets a thrashing has nothing on seeing your friends and comrades killed. | |

Accidentally Accurate | |
| XCOM: RWBY Within / Fan Fic / int_89f70300 | comment |
Accidentally Accurate: Councilman Bailey thought that Ozpin almost seemed like an older version of the Central Officer (Bradford). That's because he literally is, being Bradford's Alternate Self from Remnant. And even more examples came from this alternate universe realization. Zhang claimed that Ruby was like a daughter to him. Due to Field Commander Durand from Remnant being the first Silver-Eyed Warrior, and having the entire Silver Eyes line trace back directly to her, and Remnant!Annette having married Remnant!Zhang's, he's only off by a few thousands generations. | |

Took a Level in Jerkass: The Council acts quite a bit more paranoid and hostile in the sequel, though Bradford eventually admits that they are right about his refusal to let them inspect the Temple Ship being very suspicious, and that he hadn't done much to make the situation better. Eventually, Bradford and the Council agree to work things out, with Bradford agreeing to let them inspect the Ship, and the Council Spokesman agreeing to reveal who he is. | |

Wham Episode | |
| XCOM: RWBY Within / Fan Fic / int_8e20979 | comment |
Wham Episode: The entire Site Recon arc. Major Vance dies, Blake has to be turned into MEC Trooper to survive, Yang joins her of her own will, and Ruby falls into Heroic BSoD. Chapter 26 also serves as one, thanks to this line: In the sequel, Chapters 14, 15 and 16. The Councilman appears in person for the first time, Remnant's existence is revealed to him, and he visits it himself. Vahlen discovers the Black Queen just as it causes the shield protecting the arena's audience to drop during the middle of a match, resulting in Coco accidentally firing on the crowd, and Bradford activates the REMCOM Project. Chapter 22 of the sequel concludes with XCOM stranded in Remnant after narrowly holding off the Grimm in the Battle of Beacon. Chapter 23 reveals that Jaune and Pyrrha survived their fall, but she's currently paralysed from the neck down and ends with Ironwood revealing that he examined Penny's data feeds after the fight and learned a bit more about XCOM, who decided to let him in on their secrets. Chapter 28 ends with Cinder turning the CCTS back on, making a speech claiming that she is the good guy, revealing the Maidens are real, denouncing Ozpin, the Hunters, and XCOM, calling the other maidens to join her and her new order, and claiming that they are on the cusp of a new era, the ADVENT of a tomorrow that nobody thought possible. And then Bradford is informed that the citizens of Patch are gathering outside of the landed Avenger... Chapter 30 ends with this line, mirroring the Wham Line in Chapter 26 of RWBY Within: In Chapter 31, the Alien Rulers and the Remnant version of the Reapers from the Alien Hunters and War of the Chosen DLCs appear. In a twist, the Alien Rulers are actually good guys, and the Reapers are humans and Faunus who live in their colony. Chapter 44/45: Ozpin reveals that: Remnant is an alternate Earth thousands of years in the future He and Salem are that world's version of Bradford and Vahlen, Bradford having become immortal due to research carried out by Vahlen and Vahlen having been slowly corrupted by the Ethereals after having been trapped on the crashed Temple Ship following the destruction of the Moon. The Grimm were the Ethereals last resort. The Ethereals are responsible for shattering the Moon, which would have wiped out mankind if it weren't for Remnant's Annette and Asaru sacrificing themselves to create the Maidens, shielding four pockets of mankind that would go on to become the four Kingdoms. Dust is Elerium that has been allowed to degrade while exposed to another element Salem Vahlen is responsible for humanity having Aura. The Silver-Eyed Warriors are descended from Remnant's Annette and Zhang. They are also the only humans who can act as suitable hosts for the Ethereals. | |

The Lancer: Weiss. In addition to their contrasting personalities, she takes the role of Assault, fighting in close range as opposed to Sniper-trained Ruby. The Big Gal: Yang. Thanks to Rocketeer training, she wields the biggest firepower on the team and is probably the most fight-happy of them. The Smart Guy: Vance. The only veteran member of the team, he helps girls in dealing with new reality and supports them from range in combat. The Chick: Blake. As a Scout, she specializes more in recon and support than direct combat. | |

Like a Son to Me | |
| XCOM: RWBY Within / Fan Fic / int_a8adc5a0 | comment |
Like a Son to Me: Zhang tells an Ethereal that he views Ruby this way, right before shooting it several times for mocking her. Given that he has a Gene Mod derived from the team's physiology, it's a little closer than most uses of this trope. It's later revealed that Ruby, like all Silver-Eyed Warriors, are the descendants of Remnant's Annette Durand and Zhang, meaning they are very distantly related. Likewise, Weiss and Dr. Vahlen have an extremely close familial relationship; both explicitly see the other as their adopted mother and their daughter respectively. Which, given what one might generously call canon Schnee family dynamics, which have only gotten worse in REMCOM!Remnant, and that Moira's own home life by her own admission wasn't exactly great, is quite natural. | |

The first hint the White Fang get that XCOM has tracked down where they are interrogating a captured operative is when someone knocks on the door of the interrogation room, but fails to use the correct knock | |

Colony Drop | |
| XCOM: RWBY Within / Fan Fic / int_b3eecaae | comment |
Colony Drop: During the Battle of Beacon, Amity Colosseum ends up being destabilized and put on a crash course collision with the city of Vale. It's only thanks to the efforts of Vahlen, and with Tygan and MacAuley staying onboard Amity, does XCOM manage to divert the path away from the city. And there was an example that couldn't be prevented. First Field Commander Durand failed to stabilize the Temple Ship, which crashed in Germany, causing massive earthquakes. And the Ethereals followed by detonating powerful elerium charges on the Moon in order to take humanity with them, causing large chuncks of it to impact, causing exactly the Apocalypse How scenario one would expect. And in the RWBY Within / Remnant Unknown verse, that is the story behind Remnant's moon. | |

| XCOM: RWBY Within / Fan Fic / int_b542cf17 | comment |
Opposing Combat Philosophies: As Bradford has noted, RWBY and JNPR are completely opposites of one another which he uses to great effect on deployments once they regain their auras. Ruby and Weiss excel at Terror missions where speed is essential which contrasts Jaune and Pyrrha's slow and methodical pushes during Landed UFO missions. Blake and Yang due to being turned into MEC troopers and their own auras and semblances enhancing their new mechanical bodies excel at facing off against the stronger mechanical enemies of XCOM. This is contrasted by Nora and Lie Ren being very adept at facing off against the psionic enemies of XCOM due to their personalities. | |

| XCOM: RWBY Within / Fan Fic / int_babc974 | comment |
Sadistic Choice: In Chapter 29 of Remnant Unknown, the Schnee Mansion security has captured the XCOM operatives sent (with her knowledge and permission) to keep an eye on Weiss. With Jacques firmly convinced that XCOM are terrorists, he plans on having them executed. Weiss has to choose between denouncing them and keeping the façade of being the dutiful daughter, or trying to save them and losing any chance of using the SDC's resources to help XCOM. The operatives make the choice for her, deciding to act like she had just been using them to help the SDC, though to fully sell the deception, Weiss is forced to personally execute them, with the operatives telling her in private that it has to be done, and that access to the SDC's resources is more important than their lives. | |

Shout-Out | |
| XCOM: RWBY Within / Fan Fic / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: When traveling to their first AO, Corporal Biggs jokingly refers to Huntresses as Imperial Guardsmen. Bolts begins his battle with the Greater Hive Queen by coating his Kinetic Strike module in flames and yelling Falcon... Captain Beagle, leader of Strike Five team, is a reference to XCOM Let's Player and streamer Beaglerush. His squad also features sniper nicknamed "3-13", after infamously competent NPC unit from Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. Things XCOM Operatives Are No Longer Allowed to Do are actual part of the fic's universe. Blake's reaction to being turned into a MEC Trooper? Yang once prepares her guns with a grenade-themed variation of the Unlimited Blade Works invocation. During the epilogue: "You expected a gift from RWBY's resident pyro, BUT IT WAS ME, NORA invoked. Beagle says that Jaune is "basically an Assault Marine" after revealing that the XCOM staff had attached modified Archangel jump jets to Jaune's armor as a Christmas present. After receiving her gift, Yang tells Bradford: In the author's notes, Vahlen and Tygan are jokingly referred to as Science Bros. Lily Shen thinks that the huntsman Coco faces in her disastrous match looks like he thinks he's "Remnant's version of Ezio Auditore" Bradford notes that he needs to show the hunters working for XCOM an episode or two of Star Trek, since all the Avenger is missing is people wearing blue, yellow, and red uniform shirts. XCOM, after capturing Roman, start calling him a droog. Unsurprising, considering that Roman is based on Alex de Large. Just before dropping Hammer into Menagerie, Tech Sergeant Ryder tells the team in Menagerie to stand by for titanfall. Bradford's rebuke to Liza Lavender is based off of the interview Shepherd and al-Jilani from Mass Effect 2, specifically the Paragon option. | |

Hot Blade | |
| XCOM: RWBY Within / Fan Fic / int_c8b2d0b0 | comment |
Hot Blade: Blake gets a combat knife with a low-power laser in the handle, which heats the blade and allows it to more effectively penetrate armor and hardened skin. note Blake is the only one stated to have one, since XCOM operatives, with the exception of MEC Troopers, do not carry melee weapons. She specifically asked Dr.Shen if he could make something for her to use as a last resort. Later on, an upgrade to the Plasma Pistol allows it to form-shift into one of these, complete with plasma washing over the blade. | |

Drama-Preserving Handicap: As mentioned in a description, team RWBY can't use their Auras and Semblances on Earth. According to the author, having them curb-stomp everything like they do in a show, "while hilariously awesome for a chapter or two, would not make for a very interesting story in long term." However, later chapters have Vahlen experimenting with various solutions and finally unlocking their Auras. | |
