The relic of an age gone by

A kenshi x rwby crossover (will be moved over to a crossover when kenshi is added to .)

A narcissistic mechanical skeleton plus team JNPR equals hilarity , dark humor and possible oc x penny. Set just after episode 1 of season 2.

Disclaimer I do not own kenshi or rwby otherwise this would be cannon and please support lofi games the creators of kenshi as well as rooster the creators of RWBY.

Prologue: ruin

I began to make my way to one of the many over run down laboratories and factories present in these parts, thinking this would be an ordinary day: kill whatever was in my way, sell a bunch of junk i found, then grab a meal and a bed, then finally repeat. Suddenly I was woken from my apathy, to a squad of four iron spiders that required some oil landed with a thunk. I held my ground against the wave of dirt and debris washed over my face plate in the searing sun. In the aftermath of the wave of debris and dust, I witness, a lone iron spider resting on a pile of stones trying to move its mechanical limbs but can only rock back and forth like a caged animal. I offer to the once great machine a coup de grace out of respect. The great machine bows it's what little limbs it still controls, silently accepting its fate. I slice the machine through the central processor then as the last droplets of power drain through circuits, the rocking stops.

I bow my head at the now empty shell of a machine and say:" may you go on without me and join all of the other AIs I have freed from decay and entropy." After my sermon, two more iron spiders try to flank me and I say to the shell of a machine: "looks like your comrades don't want you to be at peace any time soon." I cut through the hard-outer shell of the mechanical beast missing any of the important internals. As I attacked the machine, I was deflecting any strikes from its mechanical arms, one I blocked with my blade but another strike cut through my cargo shorts ripping them yet glancing off the chain mail concealed inside of the shorts lining stopping it from doing any more damage. I pull back from my previous blow to the old machine and impale the machine before it can react, through the reactor puncturing the core, causing the machine to suddenly spasm then fall silent.

I yell forth to the remaining iron spiders" Come out, face me, face your salvation, face the truth before you," as I unsheathe my fragment axe and ready it along with my current blade a legendary Nodachi in an offensive stance. The remaining two machines charged forward to attack me like a bunch of stampeding beasts. I strike down one of the spiders with my fragment axe crushing the shell causing the internal components to turn chunks of circuitry while with my Nodachi I horizontally slice through the remaining spider cutting through shell like a hot knife through a green fruit. After my little feat i began to search through the remains of the iron spiders seeing if any components still are intact.

After searching through the remains of the spiders all I could salvage was some scrap electronic components and plating. Once that task was complete I made my way towards a long since abandoned wreck of a laboratory, that was once a glistening copper beacon of hope and technological advancement, now just a corroded ruin left behind from a bygone age. The smell of rusting metal filled my sensors along with stench of as I drew close to the ruin. As I attempted to pry open the rusting door to the laboratory it let out a primal growl as the rusting components clashed together.

"My god the power is still working in here despite being sealed for so long, almost makes you wonder how could the creators, have fallen," I spoke in awe of the craftsmanship. I began to make my way towards the basement of the facility home to all manner of loot and supplies for my cause. The laboratory was in a state of disrepair structurally but the furniture was arranged like the day they had abandoned it; metallic desks in rows and lab equipment standing, waiting to be used again. I began to feel like I was not the only one present in the laboratory.

I gradually made my way down the surprisingly intact staircase given how long it has been abandoned. I stepped onto the ancient concrete with an almighty thud as my boot impacted

the floor below me. the sound whirling machines filled the room as would water fill a bucket. The sea of noise grew louder with each passing second as I scanned the room for the cause. suddenly the drone stopped and a eerie silence filled the void left. With a clang of metallic feet on hard concrete an amalgam of machinery bore its pulsating head.

The massive amalgams rusting exterior bore the marks of countless battles and skirmishes against innumerable foes. The hum of beast's internal reactor was like a swarm of insects bursting out of a corpse. A pair of ramshackle legs constantly belched steam like a smoking engine as it supported the amalgams massive body. An unholy glow emanated from what would be its head, as the beast noticed me.

A feral roar filled the room as the beast noticed me a began to charge forward with the force of a thousand charging bulls, bearing a pair of hydraulic claws better suited to moving cargo than actual combat. I slid along the floor between the beast's legs cutting at an exposed servos or hydraulics, the machine wailed in pain as would a beast from these parts, from my little endeavour attempted to strike down the beast with my fragment axe but it parried my strike and threw me into some antiquated machinery with one of its hydraulic claws. Clang, the force of the throw damaged a few systems but made me realize the is no turning back now, only survival.

After many strikes and slashes between me and the beast not one of us gaining a upper hand over the other. I had to make a call gradually wear it down over time or go in for the kill. I volleyed over one of the beast's claws and stood atop it's shoulder guards like a true hero and plunged my mighty blade deep into its reactor. The sound of cracking metal and bursting machinery filled my sensors as my blade the dirtied itself with the oil of the bestial machine. The machine fell limp as withdrew my blade from its corpse.

A pulse of energy on par with that of a god blasted out from the corpse of the beast and bathed the world around me bright near luminous light and I thought if this is heaven I'll go back to nothingness.

"I didn't mean it literally, "I cursed as I awoke on a bed of grass.
