Well guys, I said I might make a RWBY crossover, so here it is. This is Relic of Remnant, a Starcraft-RWBY crossover. I will be hard-pressed to actually maintain two unfinished fanfics while in school, while this being only my second story, while not receiving much feed-back, (Three lesser-known series can't attract that much attention. And even with Halo, my thing is still probably near the bottom of the list of Halo crossovers, so I couldn't really expect THAT much feedback anyways. But I still appreciate what little I get. :D) AND considering the fact that I'm only 13. So don't hate. New chapters will likely be slow to release, so I won't even bother promising any definite release dates unless I'm already working on a chapter. I will notify you of one crossover's new chapter date in the other crossover. (I will state the release dates for Dimensional Collision in this story and vice-versa.) Anyways, enough rambling. I doubt any of you are reading this anyways. LET'S GET THE STORY STARTED! (Also I don't own Starcraft, RWBY or any other trademarked thingies in this story. Starcraft belongs to Blizzard, RWBY and RvB belong to Rooster Teeth.)

Beginning…
Ruby's POV
My team and I had recently been assigned a mission to go check out a strange, golden structure that had been partially uncovered during a major earthquake on an island an island a few miles south of Mistral. Professor Ozpin had stated that he would've sent a third-or-fourth-year team, but our team's impressive feats along with the fact that most of the 3rd-and-4th-year teams were occupied with other raids and missions, none of which were close to the island, which, for some reason, was unnamed. My team and I dubbed the small island 'Donut' on the spot. "It's kind of pink," observed Yang. "Nah, it's just lightish red…" I replied. (Yes, I just had to do that.) We were about to start discussing a new species of mantis and whether or not Prof. Caboose, the scientist who had found it, should call it 'Freckles' when Professor Ozpin interrupted. "I suggest that you begin preparing for this mission now. You leave at exactly 10:30 A.M. tomorrow."
I wasn't sure why, but as soon as we got to our dorm, I switched into a get-it-done attitude. It was almost as if something was influencing me, making sure that I got everything done. No sooner had we closed the door than I began giving out orders. "Alright! We pack supplies and anything we might need, check our weapons, refresh our weapons' Dust, eat, sleep, eat breakfast, double-check everything we packed, and leave for Donut!" Everyone, even Blake, looked at me as if I had just turned down a cookie. "Are… Are you O.K., Ruby?" Asked Weiss. Yang narrowed her eyes. "Who are you and what have you done with my sister?" She demanded. "No, I'm fine… I- I'm not sure why, but… I feel like there's something important on that island…" I slumped down on Blake's bed, feeling strange. I felt the presence again, giving me that sense of motivation. I bolted up, narrowly missing Yang's bunk with my head. "Let's get this done," I said.

The next day, we'd all eaten breakfast, double-checked our packs, and grabbed ammunition, Dust, and everything else we would need for our weapons. With my love of weaponry, I had purchased a cleaning kit for over 75 lien almost as soon as I'd made Crescent Rose at Signal. It had its own pocket in my pack. Finally, at exactly 10:30 A.M., an airship arrived at the heli-pad, and we walked aboard. Professor Ozpin had put details in our Scrolls, and I pulled out the little white tablet. The reports stated that an earthquake had shaken the island and opened up a large crack in it. As a touring airship had passed overhead, people noticed some golden gleams, and bright blue glowing emanating from the fissure. Due to no one knowing anything about the little island, just that it was there, General Ironwood had decided that either Huntsmen and Huntresses or in-trainings should go, deeming it too potentially dangerous for an exploration party and too minor for military action. Sighing, I closed my Scroll, slipped on my headphones, and began playing the same music as when I had met Roman Torchwick for the first time. (I'm listening to Season 2's theme as I type these words.) I closed my eyes, ignoring the drone of the airship's engines.

When we arrived at the island, the pilot informed us that he would be at Mithral, and gave us a code to put into our Scrolls when our mission was complete and we needed him to return with the airship. With that, we stepped off and it lifted up into the air, flying northwards. Pulling out Crescent Rose, but keeping it in rifle form instead of full-blown scythe form, I heard the others ready their weapons. The fissure was fairly close, as we had been dropped off a few 10s of yards from it. I looked down at the grass. "Yep. Lightish red," I grinned. Yang just giggled.
As we reached the edge of the fissure, I could hear something humming inside, but not a mechanical hum. It sounded more like a giant room made of wine glasses that had just been hit with a tiny fork yet would not stop ringing. It sounded… crystalline, alien. I looked over the edge. The drop wasn't that far. We would be able to drop down without injury if Weiss summoned runes for us to fall onto at the bottom. Weiss, being a mine-reader, asked the rest of us, "Ready?" "Ready." We jumped.

When we hit the bottom, we all grabbed flashlights except for Blake. She could see fine in the darkness. As we looked around, we realized just how big, yet just how small the structure was. "Uhmm, Ruby? What's that?" Yang asked. She pointed to a large, floating luminous blue crystal that seemed to be emanating energy, yet pulling it in at the same time. Weiss was slowly stepping towards it before I grabbed her shoulder. "Wait," I said. I cautiously advanced, and reached out and tapped the gem with my sweetheart. It glowed as soon as my scythe touched it, and faded as soon as I pulled it back. Reaching out again, I touched the gem once more, and held Crescent Rose against it. It glowed brighter again, and slowly began pulsing. It didn't speed up the rate, just glowing then fading, almost… pulling us towards it. Then suddenly, a voice seemed to come from the crystal and I jerked back. "Come. We await you and your sisters," Spoke an ageless, feminine voice, echoing off the walls. Looking back silently, I saw that my team had heard it as well. I slowly beckoned, stepping warily forward. We all gathered around the crystal. "We need you, Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long. Your fate lies ahead." Looking at my team, I had a sudden temptation to touch the crystal. Our eyes al met, and I nodded. Slowly, slowly, we all reached out towards our destinies.
