Hello once again, dear friends!
Welcome to my 3rd full length crossover story combing the world of RWBY and Bulletstorm!
I have always been a huge fan of this fantastic, underrated shooter and after recently discovering RWBY, this crossover instantly popped into my head and I had an uncontrollable urge to do it! I hope you enjoy it!
Here are some facts you need to know.
-This will closely follow the Bulletstorm storyline.
-Since this takes place on Remnant and not Stygia, the Skulls and the Creeps will be replaced by the White Fang and Grimm. The Burnouts will appear however!
-Team RWBY, Team JNPR, Mercury, Emerald, and Penny will join Grayson, Ishi and Trishka.
-I will try my hardest to copy the over the top combat of both sides. Suggestions would be greatly accepted.
-I will also try to make these two genres mesh together.
-There will be A LOT of coarse language in this fic. Just a warning.
-I have not decided on pairings yet.
RWBY and Bulletstorm belong to their respective owners. I do not own either of them.
Chapter 1
On the road to Hell
BEACON ACADEMY-FAIRGROUNDS
"Is anyone else starving?" Ruby Rose bemoaned.
"I may have worked up an appetite." Blake Belladonna admitted. As if on cue, a loud growling sound emanated from her stomach.
"Gee, if only there were somewhere on campus to get food around here." Weiss Schnee wondered aloud. Looking around, she realized that she and her friends just so happened to be at the fairgrounds on their campus which held the 40th Annual Vytal Festival Tournament. Numerous students from their school and other academies from the four kingdoms were going about their business: conversing with each other, purchasing food from the numerous vendors or looking over valuable merchandise. Several Atlesian Knights patrolled the area.
Weiss sweatdropped. "Oh…"
"It's okay, Weiss. I forget about the fairgrounds too." Ruby assured her as she patted her shoulder.
"I was being facetious." The heiress corrected.
"Wha-well if you were hungry, why didn't you say so!?" Ruby exclaimed as she threw up her hands.
"C'mon! I know just the place." Yang Xiao Long said as she led her teammates to a food vendor. As they walked, Weiss's Scroll started ringing. She took it out and looked at the screen.
Incoming Call :Father
Frowning, Weiss rolled her eyes and stuffed her scroll back in her pocket, while catching up to her friends.
DEEP SPACE-UNKNOWN SHIP
The quiet emptiness of space was broken as a sleek spaceship soared amongst the stars, its underbelly having a skull painted on it. The sounds of someone pleading for his life could be heard within the bowls of the ship.
"Calm down! Just calm down! You got this all wrong! Just listen to me!" He begged. "He" in question was a scrawny looking bounty hunter who looked more at home in a comic book shop than hunting dangerous criminals. His situation was made worse due to the fact that he was sitting face to face with the most wanted man in the entire Milky Way Galaxy: Grayson Hunt. A former Dead Echo operative who used to be employed under the Confederation until he and his squad mutinied.
It also didn't help the fact that he was handcuffed, had a beer bottle duct taped to his head and the pirate was unbelievably drunk.
Grayson's partner, Rell Julian, handed him another bottle of beer. He too was just as inebriated as him. "Have another drink, Gray. It'll help your aim." He slurred in a thick southern accent. Grayson downed the entire contents of the bottle, making him drunker than he was before.
"Pl-please, please! I don't wanna die!" The bounty hunter shrieked.
"Here, use my gun. I keep the sight a few inches left of target. Challenge yourself." Rell snickered as he tossed his Peacemaker carbine to Grayson.
"Nice." Grayson smiled wickedly as he leveled the rifle to his terrified captive. "Look, the sooner you answer our questions the better the odds we don't miss the bottle and evaporate your face."
The bounty hunter finally caved in."Okay, stop, stop ,stop, PLEASE! I'll tell you whatever you want, okay?! Whatever you want to know!"
"What's the bounty on our heads?" Grayson interrogated, his weapon still trained on the sweaty idiot in front of him.
"You're worth half a billion per. Double after you raided that Confederate supplyliner. Sarrano himself put out the marker."
"*BURP* Half a billion? Not bad!" Rell belched.
"Maybe for you. I'm worth twice that." Grayson boasted as he aimed his weapon at the bounty hunter. "Well now, I appreciate you being honest with us."
"NO! Hey, hey, hey WHAT THE FUCK, MAN?! I told you everything!"
"Yeah…but you tried to kill us. Tellin' us why doesn't earn you a reprieve." Rell pointed out.
Despite his intoxication, Grayson aimed the rifle at the bottle and pulled the trigger.
RAKKA RAKKA RAKKA
The rifle jerked upwards and the bullets shattered the bottle while amazingly missing the unfortunate sap's noggin.
"SON OF A BITCH! I TOLD YOU ALL I KNOW!" The man raged. Rell flipped a switch on the wall and a glass door opened up to reveal a small room with random junk inside it.
"Shut up…" Grayson muttered as he swiftly kicked the bounty hunter into the room. Rell pushed a button near the switch and the glass doors closed shut, trapping the man inside.
"Warning: Airlock safety breached." The ship's computer announced on the intercom. Another door opened in the small room, sending the bounty hunter and the assorted junk hurtling into space.
"Third bounty hunter this week. Sarrano's strokin' one hell of a murder boner, man." Rell commented.
"Let's go loot a few Confederate ships. Earn our bounty!" Grayson said eagerly as he nudged Rell's shoulder. The two of them headed over to the cargo deck exit and Rell typed in some codes on the keypad terminal beside the door. A loud buzz was heard and the door remained shut. Rell tried again and another buzz was heard.
Rell suddenly slammed his fist on the console and a dinging noise was heard as the door finally started to open…only for the console to short out and the door stopped opening halfway.
"Dammit!" Rell cursed. Grayson rolled his eyes and headed over to the door to pry it open. That's when the two of them heard a tapping sound at the other end of the room. The turned around to see the frozen body of the bounty hunter floating outside their window with a Nova Grenade clutched in his hand!
"Oh-"
BOOOOOOOOOOOM
The grenade exploded, destroying the window and creating a vacuum that pulled Grayson and Rell towards the opening!
FWOOOOOOOOOOOSH
The two mutineers managed to grab on to some pipes installed into the walls, preventing them from flying out into deep space as their weapons were flung out of the window.
"Warning: Hull breach detected." The computer announced.
"NO SHIT, LADY!" Rell hollered.
Grayson spotted the emergency bulkhead switch near him on the wall and using the pipes, he clambered his way over to it. "Stupid…bounty hunter…cocksucker!" Grayson grumbled as he reached the switch and yanked it. A metal covering slid over the broken window and Rell and Grayson dropped to the ground, gasping for air.
Grayson went over and whapped Rell upside the head. "You said you searched him!" He barked.
"Don't delegate important things to the intoxicated!" Rell shot back as he picked himself up. Deciding that they lingered here long enough, Grayson walked over to the debris piled behind them and kicked the junk over, sending some of it crashing into a monitor.
"Fuck! Is it just any old thing you touch crumbles into dogshit?" Rell questioned.
"Your mom survived…barely." Grayson said.
Rell seemed largely unoffended by that comment. "Guess I know how the ol' gal got that limp."
They stepped over more debris on their way back to the door while Rell had lifted up some of the wreckage to show small tunnel. "Do I need to tell you to crouch down here?" He asked Grayson rhetorically.
"It'd' be nice. Show me you care." Grayson breathed huskily.
They followed through the tunnel and finally made it back to the exit, which was still halfway open. The two of the saw, through the gap in the door, another crew member named Whit Oliver. He was the team's "father figure" and doctor. He was a slightly portly old man with greying hair and had a cybernetic eye on the right side of his face.
"You boys are-what? The door's stuck on something." He spoke in a gravelly voice.
"Step aside, Doc. I'll handle it my way." Grayson grinned as he punched the console straight through with his bare fist! The door finally opened this time.
"So which one of you shitheads left a Nova Grenade on the bounty hunter?" Oliver inquired.
Before Grayson could answer they heard the alarm sound.
"Gray! We're comprised here! I'm warping!" The trio heard Ishi Sato announce. Ishi was the team sniper and Gray's closet friend. A wave of energy coursed throughout the ship as it began to vibrate.
"Go for it. I'll be right up." Grayson slurred as he tried to regain his footing. The shaking was not helping his inebriation. "Any booze left on this ship?"
"Nope. But there is paint thinner in the storage bay." Rell winked as the door automatically opened. As the three of them headed over to the elevators, the ship finally stopped shaking; a sign that they were done warping. But then they heard more alarms and the intercom come back to life.
"We've got trouble, Gray! I need you deckside, NOW!" Ishi yelled frantically. Picking up the pace, they got on the elevator and took it up to the main deck. Thy entered the large room with numerus control consoles and a window that offered them a view of space. Ishi was sitting in the captain's seat, which happened to be Grayson's.
"Attention everybody, your captain is on deck!" He drunkenly announced as he stumbled over to Ishi.
"I was following leads on Confederate supplyliners. Came out of warp and it was just…there." Ishi explained as he gestured to the window. Grayson followed his gaze to see an Earth-like planet with a shattered moon in its orbit and its sun close by. However, his main focus was on the massively gigantic, space age battleship sitting right in front of them!
Grayson, Oliver, Rell and Ishi stared in awe with their mouths agape. "The Ulysses!" Grayson gasped.
Ishi started to panic. "I'm getting us out of here! Warping to a dark matter field, try to lay low until-"
"No, we're not going anywhere." Grayson interrupted as he held up his hand. "That's the Confederation's prized warbird! General Sarrano will be on board."
Ishi shook his head. He didn't like where this was going.
"Christmas came early, boys! We got us a mass murdering piece of shit out their waitin' on us to deliver some reparation." Grayson said as he pointed to the battle cruiser.
"We're with ya, Gray! Sarrano hung us all out to dry!" Rell agreed.
Grayson smiled. "I ain't dry no more-"
"No, you're drunk! Again. We won't last 15 seconds!" Ishi yelled.
"You've lost yer nerve, Ishi." Grayson accused.
"I honor my oath to serve you, despite your recklessness, but this? I will not die for your revenge, Gray!" Ishi argued.
"Our revenge." Grayson snarled.
"Ulysses wants to open a communication channel." Oliver informed them from his console.
"Arm forward cannons. They'll get the message!" Grayson ordered. A dull hum echoed throughout the ship as the plasma cannons charged to full power.
"Any of you want to mutiny, now's the time." Grayson told his crew. Rell eagerly got on his console while Ishi begrudgingly went over to his. "No? THEN FIRE!" Grayson yelled.
PAKOOOOM PAKOOOOM PAKOOOOM PAKOOOOM
The cannons roared to life and bolts of plasma pelted the Ulysses with devastating explosions that ripped apart the hull of the massive battle cruiser!
"Come on, guys! Let's make Sarrano wish he'd triple that bounty!" Grayson cackled in maniacal glee as he got on his console.
VALE-ROOFTOPS
"So how is Team RWBY doing?" Cinder Fall asked as she sat upon one of the many rooftops of Vale.
"They're definitely in high spirits after their victory." Mercury Black informed her.
"They're in high spirits 24/7." Emerald Sustrai groused, folding her arms.
"So I've noticed. Do we know who will represent?" Cinder inquired.
"We do. They voted on Weiss and Yang." Emerald confirmed.
"Interesting…this will be perfect." Cinder mused. "Team JNPR's fight will begin soon. You two go on ahead to the colosseum, I need to check on the little 'present' I uploaded into the CCT."
Mercury and Emerald nodded. They hopped back down the building without anyone noticing and walked to the airport so they could catch a ride to the Amity Colosseum.
"Wanna get some popcorn while we're there?" Mercury asked.
"Never in a million years. That crap goes straight to my thighs." Emerald said.
"More for me." He shrugged.
Meanwhile, Cinder had gotten out her Scroll and tapped a few buttons. A red screen appeared with a black chess piece in the center. She smiled. Everything was going according to plan. Looking up to the Cross Continental Transmit System, she knew that it would only be a matter of time before Vale and Beacon Academy would fall. Her mistress would be so pleased-
Something caught her eye. She looked to the shattered moon far away in the sky. She noticed that at certain intervals, there would be brief flashes appearing near it…
REMNANT'S ORBIT
"BWAHAHAHAHAHA! WHAT'S THE MATTER, SARRANO? I THOUGHT YOU WOULD PUT UP A BIGGER FIGHT THAN THIS!" Grayson laughed as he and his crew continued to fire their cannons at the Ulysses.
In the span of a few minutes, both ships had inflicted heavy damage upon each other despite the differences in size. The Ulysses had multiple hull breaches and fire spreading throughout the ship while Grayson's class D Specter had multiples holes bored though it.
Grayson swung the ship around for another firing run when several hidden laser turrets from the Ulysses opened fire and landed several blows that destroyed the plasma cannons and crippled the ship! Grayson's console started to short out.
"Aw shit." He muttered. Ishi rushed over to him.
"GET IT TOGETHER! MOVE!"
KABLAM
"ISHI!"
"Yeah, don't sweat it! We've all faced way worse before." Yang assured Team JNPR.
"Let's see: Grimm invasions, violent extremists, a destructive sociopath..." Blake counted.
"And that's all while we were still in training! Oh, imagine what it will be like when we graduate!" Ruby squealed happily.
"Maybe then I'll be able to pay for a meal." Weiss grumbled, still fuming over her declined credit card.
"C'mon Ishi! Wake up! ISHI!" Grayson pleaded as he tried to shake his friend awake. Grayson was suffering from double vision and he couldnt see well at all. He could spot some of his friends lying motionlessly on the floor and he could barely make out Ishi covered in blood. Sparks and explosion were going off around him as alarms blared throughout the main deck.
Grayson looked out the front window to see the damaged Ulysses right before him. His gaze shifted to the main console. He gritted his teeth in rage as red started to cloud his vision. "Okay….fine."
"Would Team JNPR please report to the battlegrounds immediately." Professor Peter Port announced on the intercom.
"Yes! Like they were scheduled to several minutes ago!" Came the voice of Doctor Bartholomew Oobleck.
"Well, it looks like this is it." Pyrrha Nikos said as she and her friends walked away from the food vendor.
"Go get 'em!" Ruby cheered after them as she gave them a thumbs up.
"We were all dead men anyway. Dead for years now." Grayson growled as he crawled his way over to the main console, his eyes focused on the main Warp Drive lever. "Just needed to do this one last thing. Just had to make sure we didn't go to Hell alone, General. Gonna take you….gonna take every last motherfucking one of you with us."
"Do you think they'll be able to pull through?" Weiss wondered. "Jaune looked really close to retching."
"Hopefully he'll be able to hold it in." Blake said. "Besides, they've come a long way in these past few months."
"And a sudden plunge in the sullen swell. Ten fathoms deep…"
"Blake's right! I'll be rooting for them all the way because I know they can win!" Ruby agreed optimistically.
"Couldn't have said it any better myself!" Yang said as she ruffled her giggling sister's head. "Besides, what could possibly go wrong?"
"On the road to Hell."
WHACHUNK
Grayson pushed the lever forward, instantly activating the Warp Drive. The ship rocketed straight towards the Uysses and warped right into the center of the warship causing a destructive explosion! Grayson's ship flew out the other side and streaked down to the planet's surface…with the Ulysses plummeting slowly behind him.
To be continued…..
Kiss-Rock and Roll all Nite
Scores of Grimm prowl their way through the streets of Vale until they sense something approaching them.
You show us everything you got! You keep and dancing and the room gets hot!
Team RWBY approaches the horde of Beowolves with their weapons drawn and steely determination in their eyes.
You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy!
The vicious horde of nightmarish horrors charged towards the young girls as they got into a battle stance.
And you say you want to go for a spin! The party's just begun, we'll let you in!
Blake swung from the lampposts with Gambol Shroud as she slices any Grimm that leapt towards her. Yang mercilessly pummels them left and right with explosive shots from Ember Celica. Weiss gracefully bounds across the battlefield as she pierces the skulls of Beowolves with Myrtenaster.
You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy!
Ruby decapitates several Ursa's with Crescent Rose until a Beowolf charges towards her. Ruby shifts her weapon into its sniper rifle configuration until a whip of blue colored energy suddenly coiled around the Grimm's neck and pulled it into a broken lamppost, gruesomely impaling it.
You keep on shoutin', you keep on shoutin'!
The whip belonged to Grayson Hunt who was armed with a Boneduster shotgun. Beside him was Ishi Sato with his HeadHunter sniper rifle and Trishka Novak with her Peacemaker carbine.
I wanna rock and roll all night, and party every day! X2
The Grimm turned their attention to their new prey and rushed over to them. Grayson kicked a Beowolf right in its face, sending it crashing into its comrades. Grayson smiled as he began blowing them apart with his Boneduster. Ishi slams his robot fist into an Ursa's skull, killing it instantly. The cyborg jumps atop its corpse and fired his HeadHunter at a flock of approaching Nevermore. The bullet guides itself right through the entire flock's skulls as they plummet to the ground. Trishka mowed down several Beowolves and charged up her Peacemaker to fire a lance of orange colored energy straight through an Ursa, reducing it to a charred skeleton.
You keep on sayin' you'll be mine for a while! You're lookn' fancy and I like your style!
A legion of snarling Burnouts advance upon a contingent of White Fang soldiers as they wildly opened fire upon the mutants.
You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy!
Cinder gazes upon the resulting carnage from atop of a building and she turns around to see an unseen figure approach her. She narrows her eyes.
You show us everything you got! Baby, baby that's quite a lot!
Qrow Branwen and Winter Schnee stand back to back with each other as Burnouts encircle them. Qrow flashed Winter a wily grin as she rolls her eyes in annoyance.
And you drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy!
As an army of Burnouts make their way to Beacon Academy, they see dozens of Huntsmen, Huntresses, Atlesian soldiers, Knights and Paladins standing ready to do battle.
You keep on shoutin', you keep on shoutin'!
Hundreds of Heavy Echo soldiers march though a burning city with General Victor Sarrano up front, grinning evilly.
I wanna rock and roll all night, and party every day! X8
Grayson's team, as well as Team RWBY, JNPR, Mercury, Emerald and Penny Polendina charged towards a horde of Grimm without fear. Dozens of Grimm fell before the group of trained warriors, standing no chance against their combined efforts. Suddenly, a Deathstalker plows its way through the Grimm and advances upon the group! Grayson lassos its stinger and forces it straight into its own head. Ruby jumps off Grayson's shoulder and swings her scythe downward, cleaving the Deathstalker's head in two. The group turns to see dozens of Burnouts stampeding towards them! Grayson and Ruby look at each other and smile, ready to take on another challenge alongside their comrades.
