Hey, everyone, this a story type that I haven't done before. Let me know what you think about this story.
Note: Words in Italics are thoughts.
Dust, we take it for granted, yet we use it everyday. Dust possesses many unique properties, but none so unique as the mysterious Fusion Dust. Fusion Dust hasn't been seen for decades, at least until now.
In the Emerald Forest, Team RWBY, along with the other first-years at Beacon, were on a training exercise.
"Remind me, what are we doing again?" Ruby asked.
"We're supposed to be looking around for Dust deposits," Weiss said, "That way, we'll know how to find Dust in the wild if we need it."
"I just hope we find a Grimm so I can punch its face in." Yang said.
Blake just walked quietly as the group searched the forest. Abruptly, Weiss tripped.
"And that is why I don't wear heels." Ruby said.
"I tripped on something." Weiss said, "It wasn't the heels."
Weiss got up and dusted herself off.
"What is that?" Ruby asked, pointing to the objects Weiss tripped over. It was a pair of old-looking Dust canisters containing a light purple Dust in it.
"What's this?" Ruby asked, picking the vials up.
"It's a pair of Dust vials, you dunce." Weiss said.
"But what kind of Dust is it, Ice Queen?" Ruby asked.
Weiss snatched the vials and looked at them.
"I've never seen this kind before." Weiss said.
"I say we try it out." Ruby said, excited to see what this Dust does.
Ruby snagged a vial from Weiss.
"Hey!" Weiss said.
Ruby put the vial into Crescent Rose.
"Now... what to test it out on?" Ruby asked.
Moments later, a few large Beowolves came out of the foliage.
"Well, looks like you got a few volunteers, Ruby." Yang said.
Ruby prepared to fire at the Grimm.
"If you think that I'm going to let you have the fun of discovering what this does..." Weiss said, inserting her vial into Myrtenaster, "You're wrong."
Ruby pulled the trigger, but nothing interesting seemed to happen.
"Maybe this Dust can only be used in close-range combat." Blake said.
Ruby and Weiss ran at Grimm. Once Crescent Rose transformed into its scythe form, they activated the Dust and attacked the Grimm with it. Once again, nothing significant happened.
"This stuff is useless!" Weiss said.
"Look out!" Yang yelled.
Ruby and Weiss saw the Grimm approaching, but before Ruby and Weiss could counter, the Grimm hit them away. As the partners flew through the air, their weapons linked and a bright white light engulfed the twosome.
"Ruby!" Yang called out.
The light faded, and there was a girl standing where Ruby and Weiss were. Her hair was a white asymmetrical ponytail, with red lining the front. A hair ornament kept the ponytail in place. Her left eye was blue and had a scar on the eyelid, her right eye was silver. She had a white and red dress, a lot like Ruby's, with an ammo belt. She had a black and red jacket that resembled Weiss's. She also was wearing a red hood and cape. She was also wearing white and red boots like Weiss's, but with laces on the front..
The weapon was basically Crescent Rose, but the middle looked like Myrtenaster, Dust loader and everything.
"What?" Blake asked.
"Is that...?" Yang asked.
The girl said nothing and shot at the Grimm with superspeed. As she ran, the Dust loader switched to fire Dust and lit the Scythe blade on fire, which was used to slice through the Grimm effortlessly.
Yang and Blake ran over to the girl and just stared at her.
"What?" the girl asked in the overlapping voices of Ruby and Weiss, "You're looking at me like I have two heads."
"Uh...I don't think that's too far fetched." Blake said.
"What do you mean?" the girl asked.
"What's your name?" Yang asked.
"What are talking about?" the girl asked, "My name is White Rose."
Suddenly, the girl known as 'White Rose' realized what she said.
"Yang, what happened?" White Rose asked.
"I don't know." Yang replied, "Maybe Professor Ozpin will know."
White Rose and the others began to walk back to Beacon.
Some time later, Team RWBY was waiting in Professor Ozpin's office for the headmaster himself to come back.
White Rose sat in one of the chairs by the wall, where there was a table with cookies and coffee on it.
"If you weren't such a dunce, we would have gotten here sooner." Weiss said, "You made us keep tripping."
"I told you, it's the heels, Ice Queen. I mean, seriously, how can you fight in these?" Ruby asked.
"When we return to normal, I am so going to teach you a lesson." Weiss said.
"If we return to normal, that is." Ruby said.
White Rose spotted the cookies.
"Ooh." Ruby said.
White Rose reached for the cookies with her right hand, but her left one suddenly slapped it.
"Ow! Hey!" Ruby said.
"We are not having extra sugar. I don't want the body I'm inhabiting to gain any extra weight." Weiss said.
White Rose reached with her left hand to grab the coffee, but her right hand smacked the left.
"Ow! What's the idea?!" Weiss asked.
"If we don't get cookies, we don't get coffee." Ruby said.
White Rose sighed.
"Okay, Ruby, you win this round." Weiss said.
White Rose grabbed a cookie and a cup of coffee and enjoyed them at a decent pace.
Moments later, the elevator doors opened, allowing Professor Ozpin to walk into his office.
"Professor Ozpin," Blake said.
"Blake, Yang, good to see you." Professor Ozpin said before looking over to White Rose, "And I presume that you're the reason I was called."
"Professor Ozpin, I demand you split us up right now!" White Rose said, standing up.
"And there's Weiss talking." Yang said.
"I believe that I can explain everything." Professor Ozpin said, sitting at his desk, "Please, have a seat."
White Rose, Blake and Yang sat in the chairs on the other side of the desk.
"So, tell me how this happened." Ozpin said.
White Rose retold the events of that day.
"I see. So you found Fusion Dust." Ozpin said.
"Fusion Dust?" Team RWBY asked.
"An ancient and nearly forgotten from of Dust. Not much is not known about it, other than the fact it merges the weapons, bodies and souls of two individuals." Ozpin said.
"Well, tell us how to divide our weapons, bodies and souls!" White Rose said.
"It's actually quite simple." Professor Ozpin said.
"Tell us!" White Rose said.
"If you want to split apart, let me finish." Ozpin said, "All that it takes is both of you deciding to separate."
"You heard him, Ruby." Weiss said.
White Rose closed her eyes right before a bright white light came from her. A second later, Ruby and Weiss shot out of the light and at the walls. White Rose was gone and Ruby and Weiss were back.
"Finally!" Weiss said.
"We were fused for only an hour." Ruby said.
"It was too long for me." Weiss said.
Weiss took the vial of Fusion Dust out of Myrtenaster and saw that none of it was used up.
"If you're wondering about the reason none of the Dust was used up, Fusion Dust renews itself. It's one of the reasons it's so mysterious." Ozpin said.
"Cool." Ruby said.
"I recommend that you keep the Fusion Dust safe." Ozpin said, "A weapon like that can be very dangerous in the wrong hands."
"Yes, sir." Ruby said, taking the Fusion Dust from Weiss and hiding it.
"One last quick question, Professor, how does that whole 'Fusion' thing start?" Weiss asked.
"Fusion begins if Fusion Dust is active and the weapons of two individuals link." Ozpin said, "It's as simple as that."
"Well, that's something I never want to go through again." Weiss said.
"Well I can't wait to see what else this stuff can do." Ruby said, "Let's go try it out!"
Ruby ran to the elevator.
"Remember, the less people that know, the better." Ozpin said.
"Yes, sir." Ruby replied as her team followed her.
A bit later, in Team RWBY's dorm...
"That. Is. Awesome!" Nora said.
"Quite interesting." Ren said, studying one of the Fusion Dust vials.
"I know we've seen a lot of crazy things, but I'm having a hard time believing this." Jaune said.
"Do you need proof?" Yang asked.
"A little would help, yes." Jaune replied.
"I'm actually quite excited to see if all this is true." Pyrrha said.
"Then wait no longer." Ruby said, "Weiss?"
"No." Weiss replied.
"Okay, then how about we watch you and Ruby have a sparring match instead?" Yang asked.
"...Fine." Weiss said.
A few minutes later, in Beacon's practice arena...
Weiss readied Myrtenaster while Ruby prepared Crescent Rose.
"Begin!" Pyrrha said.
Ruby and Weiss ran at each other. Weiss activated Myrtenaster's Dust mode and it clashed with Crescent Rose. Before Weiss could realize what happened, she and Ruby fused into White Rose again.
"RUBY!" Weiss yelled.
"Gotcha!" Ruby said.
White Rose gave Yang a thumbs up.
"How?" Jaune asked.
"I snuck the Fusion Dust into Myrtenaster." Yang said.
"No. I mean how did they do that?" Jaune asked.
"We don't really know." Yang said, "We just know that the Fusion Dust fuses two people together."
"Amazing." Pyrrha said.
Moments later, a bright light came fom White Rose and Ruby and Weiss were standing in her place when the light faded.
"RUBY!" Weiss said.
"Uh oh." Ruby said.
Ruby ran off, with Weiss right on her tail.
"Who knows what other powers this Dust holds." Ren said.
"We have plenty of time to find out." Blake said.
"And I'm excited." Nora said.
"Who's next?" Yang asked, holding the Fusion Dust vials that Ruby and Weiss dropped.
I hope you all enjoyed this. Look forward to many, many different fusions in the future. If you have Fusion names and/or ideas, please suggest them.
Powerhouse out.
