Just another random thought that formed into a pretty good idea while playing Titanfall. What if there were Titans on Remnant? And what if Ozpin contracted the creator to make Titans for huntsman and huntresses? Here is the result… Titans of Remnant.
Chapter 1: Contracted
In the town of Vale, a young man walks out of Gizmo's Weapon Shop. His short brown hair was spike at the front and his brown eyes stared blankly at the paper in front of him. His grey shirt was specked with oil and grease stains with the name "Scott" across the left side of his chest. His pants were stained like his shirt and his boots were black. A pistol was holstered on his belt along with various tools.
Scott was looking over plans for a 40mm grenade rifle, but it was far too large for a human being to carry. Scott smirked as he rolled up the plans and stuck them in a loop in his belt. Scott worked at Gizmo's as a repair man and weapon engineer. If Scott was good with anything, it was technology and weapons, thanks to his Semblance, Tech Meld. Scott could place his hand on a weapon, computer or anything that had moving parts and see everything inside of it.
His Semblance was why he didn't want to be a hunter, not good in real combat. That was why he had serious training in weapons handling and manipulation. He had his father to thank for that, but he never would be able to get the chance. His dad was killed two years ago during a White Fang attack. He knew the training was pointless since Scott wanted to build, not fight.
Scott jumped on the bus and took a seat. Most people his age would focus on being huntsman or huntresses, where he just wanted to be an engineer. The bus finally stopped and he got off in a suburban area, full of normal looking houses. He walked down the street a bit and walked up to his home. He opened the door and called "Mom! I'm home from work!" His mother called from the family room "Scotty! You're home! Come in! We have a guest!"
Scott walked into the family room to see his mother sitting in a chair next to a man with white hair and a green jacket. "This is Professor Ozpin, from Beacon Academy." His mother introduced. Professor Ozpin raised his glass of tea to Scott and exclaimed "It is a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Matthews." Scott exclaimed "It's nice to meet you too Professor Ozpin. What brings you here?"
"I am here on request of your father."
Scott raised an eyebrow and responded "My father sent you? I highly doubt that."
"In a way. He sent me a message years ago saying that you hold information that could be key to helping humanity make a permanent stand against the Grimm."
Scott's eyes widened and he gasped "Do you know?" Ozpin smiled and replied "About Project Titan? Yes, I know much about it. Your father and I were close friends back in our day. He kept me in the loop in hunter defenses. You currently hold one of the greatest advancements in that field." Scott scratched the back of his head and sighed "I guess I have to show you since you already know. Follow me." Scott slid open the glass door and walked into the backyard. The backyard was pretty empty except for a lone shed.
Scott led Ozpin into the shed to reveal an elevator. "Why is there an elevator in your shed?" Ozpin questioned as Scott hit the down button. "This was put here in the event of an emergency. Needed to hide some tech or a place to run to and stay low for a bit." Scott explained as the doors open. The two stepped in and the doors closed. "So what exactly do I expect to see when we reach the bottom?" Ozpin questioned.
"Project Titan was only operational for a short time. One Titan was able to be crafted before the project was… halted."
The elevator finally stopped and the doors opened to reveal a massive room. The room was largely unoccupied except for a single, massive individual. The individual was at least 20-25 feet tall, but sat on the ground. "Professor, this is the Atlas Titan, Colossus. First and only of his kind." Scott exclaimed. Colossus was bouncing a large ball against the wall and turned towards Scott and Professor Ozpin.
Colossus caught the ball and waved at the two guests, generating a strange electronic sound (imagine the sound the Decepticons made in the transformer movie, that's how Colossus talks). "He says it is a pleasure to meet you." Scott interpreted. "You can understand the Titan?" Ozpin questioned.
"Yes, kinda like learning another language."
"Interesting. Is this a normal Titan?"
"No. Colossus holds something a little extra that most Titans wouldn't have, an artificial intelligence."
Colossus stood up and walked over to the two humans that now joined in his home. "So Colossus can think for himself?" Ozpin questioned as Colossus knelt down. "What did you call him? An Atlas Titan?" Scott replied "Yes. Colossus is an Atlas Titan. His strength, durability, and speed are all balanced. There are two other types of Titan, Ogre and Stryder. Ogres are stronger and more durable, but are incredibly slow. Stryders are fast, but are not as strong or durable."
"Do any others know about Project Titan?"
"No sir. Only Colossus and I know about it and hold the information."
"Is there a chance you could build more Titans?"
Scott scratched the back of his head and thought about it. He had the schematics for all of the Titans and they seemed relatively simple to build, at least for him, but he never considered building any more Titans. "If I had the materials," Scott replied, "I might be able to build some more." Ozpin exclaimed "How would you like to work at Beacon? These Titan's purpose was to assist hunters, so why not revive that purpose?"
"The chance to build giant robots for who knows how many hunters? Will I be getting paid?"
"Of course. All materials required will be provided for you at your request. Do we have a deal?"
Ozpin held out his hand and Scott immediately took it. "You have a deal sir. When can I start?" Scott questioned. Ozpin reached into his coat and pulled out a scroll, placing it in Scott's hands. "You will be assigned a team to observe and build Titans for them." Ozpin proclaimed. "You may come to Beacon at your leisure. I await your arrival." Ozpin walked back to the elevator and left Scott with Colossus.
Scott turned to Colossus and proclaimed "Pack your things. We're headed for Beacon!" Colossus stood up and raised his arms in the air with a cheerful squeal. He headed for the back and grabbed his belongings. Scott opened the scroll and found it to be a file on the team he was going to be working with; Team RWBY. Scott looked to the elevator and thought "I wonder how much he really knew about Project Titan?"
He started to look through the information compiled about the team. It held everything about them; fighting styles, behaviors, habits and everything in between. "Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long." Scott exclaimed out loud. "This is the team we will be working with for a good amount of time Colossus." Colossus squealed and Scott replied "I don't know how they will react to a giant robot carrying a fully automatic ballistic weapon that fires 1.6 inch slugs with high precision at considerable range." Colossus squealed again and Scott replied "I don't know when the 40mm rifle will be ready. We'll see what happens when we get to Beacon."
Colossus stood up and started to rotate his shoulders. "You are going to stay here." Scott proclaimed as he pocketed the scroll. "I'll give you a shout when I need you." Colossus made a sad squeal and Scott sighed "I know you wanted to get out more, but we have to be careful. Don't worry buddy, when we get our new workspace set up I'll have you moved in." Colossus clunked down with a loud bang, causing Scott to bounce a bit. Scott went to the elevator and raised back to his home.
Scott headed back into his home to meet his teary eyed mother. "What's wrong mother?" Scott sighed. "You're going to Beacon!" His mother cried. His mother wrapped her arms around her son and continued crying. "Mom, relax." Scott comforted. "I'll be close by and visit."
"But you'll be gone and going out in the world!"
"Oh mother."
Scott let his mom have her moment and let it all out. After she was done, Scott returned to the mess he called a room. His room was decent sized, but littered with scrap parts and computer pieces. The cleanest thing in his room was the wall holding his weapons. His father taught him that keeping his weapons clean was one of the most important things about weaponry. Scott laid on his bed and pulled out the scroll Ozpin had given him.
He looked over each team member, determining which Titan would suit them best. "Let's see. Ruby… Stryder since she's quick." Scott muttered to himself. "Weiss Schnee… Atlas. Pretty balanced. Blake Belladonna… same, pretty balanced. Yang? Ogre, without a doubt." He returned to the screen that showed each member side by side. He stared at the four girls, not in a creepy way, but in more of an intrigued look. The main thing that caught him were their eyes, he'd never seen eyes like theirs.
Ruby had silver eyes, Weiss' were a very cold blue, Blake's were an amber color and Yang's were lilac. Just seeing their eyes, made him want to meet them in person. That was a little weird since Scott really wasn't a people person, he was always better with machines than people. Scott sighed "We'll see what the future holds now." He closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
So, there is the first chapter of Titans of Remnant. Hope y'all enjoyed the start since there is more to come. PM or Review any thoughts comments or concerns about the chapter or idea.
