Hey this is something I have yet to do so let's shoot the shit and do it. What is it? Why this is not what you may have been looking for, but I'm sure you've read them, it's known as a harem fic. Now don't hate for that, this will not be a lemon basis story (I may put some in) but will just revolve around an OC that likes the ladies and they like him, this was come up with after episode 11 but before twelve so it is AU, by a lot. Anyways let's get on with this, hope you like, don't feel afraid to flame or just review I will read them and might respond. Also this might seem rushed but I am going to write into the day of teams but it's a slightly different take then what you will be expecting.
DISCLAIMER: If I owned this, I would be awesome, sadly I don't work at rooster teeth.
The airship was loud. That was the first thing he thought when he saw it. He saw people climbing on and sighed. It was another one of those situations. He shrugged and walked on, people giving him odd stares. His sunglasses were reflective thank god or else they would be startled. He walked into the airship and his eyes landed on a reflective surface. There he was, vivid red hair with electric blue highlights, a scar over his left eye, a broad sword on back, a short sword attached at tail bone, pistol on left hip, smg on right, high powered rifle above short sword and club on his left leg. His outfit was a black shirt with blue and red flames along it at the hip, black fingerless gloves, a leather bracelet on the right arm, a silver one on his left, aviators with a reflective silver tint, black cargo pants and black boots. He was also very skinny.
His name is Zune, and he was immensely bored. He had been waiting to get to Beacon for a while but this was taking too long. He shrugged and pulled out earbuds but right as he was putting them in, he saw her.
She was short, and looked young. She had on a black outfit and a red hood matching her black hair with red highlights. She was talking to an older girl who had blonde hair. Then he heard her say it.
"I was moved two years ahead. I don't want to be special."
Zune moved forward. "Excuse me, but did you say you were moved ahead by two years?"
"Yes, but don't treat me differently." She said obviously shy.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, where are my manners? I'm Zune Midnight, don't worry, I may not look or sound nice but I won't ever treat you in a way you would not like." He said with a slight smile.
"Oh, um hi I'm Ruby, Ruby Rose." The girl said shyly.
"A beautiful name for a very beautiful girl, if I may say so."
"And I'm her big sister Yang." The other girl said much more bold.
"Another wonderful name, and it speaks volumes about your inner beauty."
"You're quite the charmer aren't you?" Yang asked with a light blush matching Ruby's.
"No idea what you mean, I simply heard you two talk and wanted to introduce myself. After all, it's great to make new friends, is it not?" Zune gave them a wonderful smile before walking away.
Yang and Ruby both stood there with a blush. They were so confused by what had just happened. This one guy approaches them in the most ordinary way and all of a sudden they are blushing. What is that guy?
Zune smiled to himself. He knew instantly that they liked him. He wasn't dense but he was honest when he talked. He wasn't being a charmer, he was in fact just trying to meet new people. If they fell for him, that was all on them not on him.
********After the airship lands********
Zune heard the explosion and saw Ruby in an argument with a girl in all white. While they were yelling up came a girl in all black. After a quick discussion the two walked away leaving Ruby there. He saw the kid who had gotten sick earlier help her up, so he went and approached the girl in all white.
"Hey, you should probably try to keep your temper in check, it was just an accident." He said walking up from behind. She turned to face him.
"Oh and what would you know?" She said as if he was below her.
"I know that you feel above everyone here because you're from a rich family, but what you don't realize is that you can't buy your way into Beacon. You earn your way here. Just because you're rich doesn't make you better. Being here, makes everyone on equal ground. You also have never had a true friendship, but desperately desire someone to like you for you and vice versa. I'd like to be that person. " Zune said calmly.
"Well you don't know me. At all." She said.
"Oh right, I'm so sorry, I'm having such a hard time to remember to introduce myself. I am Zune Midnight, and you are?"
"My name is Weiss Schnee."
"Well that name is quite beautiful, yet cold. It speaks as if you are a wonderful person, but should really open up and let loose a little." Zune said seeing her blush.
"Thank you. I must be going the ceremony is starting." She rushed off confused.
Zune sighed. He didn't want everyone to like him too much, he just wanted to make a few friends and live a little. Oh well, live and let learn.
As Zune got there he saw another fight with Weiss and Ruby, Yang getting a bit involved and he just sighed. At least no weapons were drawn yet, but could Weiss have at least tried to be nicer?
After Ozpin was done talking they were all lead to the lookers where they put up their weapons and got into sleep clothes. Then they were led to the cafeteria which had removed all the tables and everyone was getting ready for bed. Not to show off, but Zune didn't enjoy sleeping on the ground so he did what he always did at home and hotels. Wall ran up to the ceiling and attached a few ropes and formed a hammock with his sleeping bag. Only like three people noticed thank god though.
Zune just laid there happy till he heard voices. He looked down and saw Ruby, Yang, and that girl with all black were right under him. How the hell did he keep ending up near them? Zune sighed and listened in on the conversation. Ruby and Yang tried to talk to the girl in black who was reading until Weiss got there and this time it was only Yang and Weiss who yelled. He sighed and went to sleep getting ready for the next day. Maybe it would be a better day.
Zune got up before everyone else and took down his makeshift hammock. He dropped from the ceiling right as everyone else started to wake up. He went and got dressed got a single orange, a glass of apple juice, and thirty pieces of Bacon on his tray and sat down eating. Ruby came up to him with Yang and smiled.
"Hey Zune!" They chimed in synch as if planned.
"Hey Girls, I guess you're excited for today right?" He said finishing off his final piece of bacon and peeling his orange.
"Yep, but Zune, why do you carry so many weapons? Isn't one enough?" Ruby asked.
"Well I couldn't decide upon one weapon so I designed six, and made them all. Each is used in different situations, so I carry them all. I had to teach myself how to wield them seeing as most people can't use this many weapons. It's one of the many things about me." He said before eating the orange whole.
"Well good luck today." They said before starting on their pancakes.
"You too." He said before downing his juice and going to get his weapons battle ready.
After everyone was done, they went to a cliff, to assigned spots and were told by Ozpin that the first person they locked eyes with would be on their team for the next four years. Then they were launched. Zune used his momentum to free fall into a clearing and instantly met three other guys.
"Well that was convenient." Zune remarked seeing them all smile.
"Well let's not delay, we need to relics eh?" One said before starting to walk, they all followed till they heard a growl. They all pulled out weapons, Zune, his high powered rifle, the other three, a sword.
"Oh, this can't be good." One of them said right before he was attacked by a beouwolf, which instantly killed him.
"HOLY SHIT!" Another shouted before the same beouwolf killed him.
"You bastard!" The third guy yelled actually managing to attack but also being killed.
The beouwolf turned to Zune whose eyes were glowing now that he had taken off his aviators and seen all his teammates be killed. "I didn't know them very well, but they were my teammates. You killed them, and now, you will die." Zune said before pulling out his high powered rifle and shooting the beouwolf in the head. He turned to the bodies and silently prayed for them to ascend to heaven before sending off a large flare shot from his pistol. It was a special flare that wrote a message in dust that he could control. It said this: HERE LIES THREE STUDENTS. THEY WERE KILLED IN INITIATION AND NEED TO BE RETURNED TO THEIR FAMILIES. He then put his aviators back on and walked forward, crying as he recited a familiar prayer.
"And shepherds we shall be, for thee, My Lord, for thee. Power hath descended forth from thy hand; our feet may swiftly carry out thy commands. So we shall flow a river forth to thee, and be teaming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomeni Partri Et Fili Spiritus Sancti.
Zune walked off, shedding a few tears from the prayer, before coming across the temple. He saw Ruby, Weiss, Yang, the girl in black, and four other people run with chess pieces before being chased by a death stalker and a nevermore. He walked up and saw four black pawns. He took all of them, one for each member of his dead team. He walked back to the cliff and found Ozpin there with three coffins.
"Zune, I'm sorry." He said before Zune handed him three black pawns.
"Here you go professor. These were there pieces and it matches mine. They should at least get on the team." Zune said shedding a few tears.
Ozpin nodded his head understanding and came up with an idea. "Zune, I know this is unusual but I'm going to give you the name you deserve for this. The name of your now one man team, is team SWRD."
"But why SWRD sir?" Zune asked.
"Because I saw the footage, and noticed that they all used swords but you used a gun and avenged them. The name is in their memory."
"Thank you." Zune said before heading back to the school.
He saw the teams get sorted and wondered how Ruby and Weiss were going to work together before he was the only person not on a team. Ozpin then spoke.
"As you all know, you could have died down there. Three people did, their fourth member managed to kill their enemy but is on a team. His name is Zune Midnight. I have decided that while he is allowed to stay by himself his team name will be team SWRD, in memory of them using their swords in their final hour."
Everyone looked on saddened that three members had died. Zune just stood there, taking it all in. When it was over he shed only three more tears, one for each member. He walked and saw Ruby.
"Oh, um hey." Zune said awkwardly.
"Zune, I'm so sorry." Ruby said hugging him.
"It's fine Ruby, don't worry, I will live and fight for them." Zune said with tears in his eyes. He wiped them away though.
"Zune, I don't know what to say or do." Ruby said confused by everything. Zune just broke the hug and looked at her.
"Just do as you please. It's your life, live it." Zune said before something he did not expect happened. She kissed him. He was surprised but gently kissed her back. She pulled away and hugged him.
"Don't worry, this doesn't mean we are a couple, but I did want to cheer you up." Ruby said with a blush.
"Thanks Ruby, you are a great friend." Zune said heading to his dorm for the night. He hung his weapons on the wall then simply passed out on the bed. He would fix it up later, he was too emotionally exhausted after all of that to do anything else.
The next day he awoke an hour before the sun rose. He spent that hour first showering and getting dressed, then fixing up his room. He hooked up a tv, game system, stereo, music studio, computer, and all of his books in a nice way before her grabbed his gloves, normal glasses, and just his club. He didn't expect to fight much that day. He walked to the window and watched the sun rise he then walked to the cafeteria for breakfast, taking the longest possible way he could. He went in and saw the teams RWBY and JNPR sitting down. He grabbed some food and went over to them.
"Hey everyone." He said sitting down next to Ruby who looked at him with a smile.
"Good morning!" she, Yang and Weiss all replied with huge smiles.
"Um sorry, but I don't think we've been introduced," the girl that was wearing all black yesterday said with her, and the team JNPR looking at him.
"I'm so sorry, my name is Zune Midnight, pleased to meet you." He said with his smile, his electric blue eyes shining.
"I'm Blake." The girl with the black bow introduced.
"Hello, I'm Nora!" The girl with orange hair said happily.
"And I'm Pyrrah." The last girl, who had red hair, introduced herself with a smile.
"And those are such beautiful names for such beautiful women." Zune said with a smile, making them all blush.
"Well I'm Ren." Said the guy sitting next to Nora.
"And I'm Jaune." Said the last guy, looking a bet tense at him getting all the girls to blush.
"It's wonderful to meet so many new people!" Zune said with a smile. Jaune and Ren also smiled. It seemed that nobody could dislike him. Of course, he was being nice to everyone, so it did help.
They all finished their food and went to class. After the longest lecture ever, Weiss decided to show her fighting skills. She won, but yelled at Ruby who was trying to give her a few tips. Zune sighed. It was going to be a long four years. He decided he better make the most of it. So he went over to them.
"Hello girls, what seems to be the argument?" He asked smiling at both of them.
"Oh, hi Zune, and it's nothing that you should worry about." Weiss said turning from Ruby.
"Why I beg to differ, two beautiful ladies are fighting, and I know both of them, and you expect me to not interfere? Well I think not." Zune said trying to figure out the problem.
"Zune, please just don't." Ruby stated close to tears.
"Ruby…" Zune said turning to her.
Ruby just left, not wanting to continue it. Weiss followed suit shortly after. Zune just sighed. They both were very beautiful and both should get along, but they just seemed to clash more then anything. Damn them, that was infuriating. He hated seeing friends fight.

And that is that. I know it seems odd, but I'm not perfect. I needed a way to get him on a team by himself so his team mates died. I also will make this a harem fic but he has to meet everyone first. It will not just be team RWBY that loves him either. Also please note that he is not in fact OP. I myself can use all the weapons I gave him to an extent, and actually quite well. He is not immortal, just very disciplined. He is just a normal person, kinda. Now please tell me your opinions. Review, flame, comment, tell me I suck, just do as you feel, but please give me some feedback, I will appreciate any.
