Hi everyone. Eclipze here, with my first ever fanfic. This is a little story I wanted to make for a little while now, and my first ever story too. My information on the RWBY verse is not the greatest (The official episodes, the trailers, and some info from the wiki), so I could make one or two mistakes here and there. I'm only very informed in the BlazBlue verse, and I wanted to make this story as close as the canon personalities of both series would fit.
I'm not really an expert in English (It's not my mother language), so this is totally free for criticism, in canon data, grammar, and writting style. I'm open to all types of tips and advice you readers make.
Oh, and thanks to CrackPairingLover for the inspiration. Keep up the good work! With no more introduction, let's go!
Location: 9th Hierarchical City of Akitsu-Kō. 08:52 PM.
The actual society was in shambles. After the events of Izanami and the re-opening of all the cauldrons around the world, every Hierarchical city fell into chaos, with several people falling from seithr poisoning at a devastating rate. Even after Kushinada's Lynchpin, the entire world was in critical condition. All Ars-based services, such as transport, medical support, and long-distance communication, and many more used in daily chores were useless, and have to be changed for old and outdated ones. In this situation the N.O.L. branches were filled with terrified and confused people, looking for a way to survive in the No-seithr world.
The most affected Hierarchical city was Akitsu-Kō. It was already in a bad situation when the Grim Reaper destroyed the cauldron of the city, shutting down its main energy source, and making it impossible to properly use the climate control system. The N.O.L. branch has almost no officers inside, and was set as the preferable point for Carl Clover, Litchi Faye-Ling, and also Relius Clover to stay without the danger of being caught. The subterranean facility was the perfect place to start the recreation of Ada. But… In his research of a way to do it with almost 0 seithr, the normally bored and observing scientist found something… really interesting, and needed the help of an old… 'friend'.
The blond, strange, and mysterious man was sitting in an antique wooden chair, alone, in the middle of his new temporal laboratory. He is waiting for his old associate to appear; he was observing several screens, filled with numbers, signs, and graphics. But his wait ended quick when a green-haired man entered the room with his eyes closed, wearing a corrosive jet black suit, with a notorious fatigue in his walking pace.
The green haired man, stood behind him, and spoke.
"I seriously hope that this is so important as you made it sound," he said, with a low and upset tone, while he grabbed a rusty chair from the junk of a corner of the room, before sitting on it.
"Hazama… Long time no see… I never believe I could be so happy to see you," he said, with an unusual smile, and with a heavy and happier tone than his usual demeanor.
"You? Happy to see me? Goodness gracious, it's really an emergency after all," said Hazama, with actual surprise in his voice.
"It's not really so rare. After all, we need to celebrate this new discovery. But besides that, it is a real emergency, and we don't have much time."
"I understand that. But with that message you sent there were almost no information about why you need me in this... Whatever you want me to do, that is," Hazama said, remembering how he only received an emergency transmission via radio from Relius telling him to travel to Akitsuki-kô ASAP.
"Well, confirming your actual state and your presence here was the crucial part. With that done I can explain myself to you. Hazama..." he said, turning to see Hazama directly. "...Do you know about the 'Multi-verse Theory'?"
"Multiverse? I think I remember reading something about it on a wheelchair guy's book. Would you mind refreshing my memory?"
"The multiverse theory claims that the universe isn't only one. But more likely, an infinite number of universes, and for any action realized in a universe, they would create another universe, and every one of them with the different outcomes of that one change."
"Let me guess... You found one of these 'alternate universes', and a way to make contact with it?" Hazama said, liking where this was going, and thinking 'That Relius can be reaaally predictable sometimes.'
"A very accurate thought... In normal cases this would be almost impossible, even with all of the NOL resources... You could imagine it as trying to pass across a wall without breaking it. But in this case we should thank our little friend Kokonoe, and the Mad Dog," he said, smiling, and then turn to the screens once more, making Hazama take an interest in his words, especially in the mention of Kokonoe. Then he gets up from the chair to see.
The principal screen shows to parallel panels, one over another, with a little sphere connecting both.
"Hazama, do you remember when the Mad Dog made his appearance on the 'Grim Reaper Tournament', to just totally disappear after that?" he asked, starting to type some kind of codes on the computer of the desk that showed all.
He remembered with an annoyed face, and said, somewhat irritated, "Yeah, it's pretty darn hard to forget how you can send me to the dark cave, just to see if there's a big bear inside it. It almost makes me feel as if we weren't friends, buddy."
"Quit your nonsense, and pay attention. A couple of days ago I found the whereabouts of Azrael. He was too strong for conventional cages, so Kokonoe figured that the only way to stop him was to imprison him in a cage out of the reach of our dimension..." In that moment he raised his left hand to point at the sphere showed in the screen. "...And this little point of connection can be our bridge to find new 'possibilities', in a way that could even be safer than using a cauldron."
Hazama examined the graphics for a second, and he understood all, opening his eyes with a big grin, and started to laugh. "Hehehe... Who would have thought? Our little pinky pest finally found his usefulness."
Both of them knew that this world is way too rotten, that Izanami would probably make the plans of his plans impossible, and that a new world open up the possibilities to start over from zero, and construct the world that fit better for his desires. But this was especially the chance for Hazama's plans.
Both of them avoided looking directly at the bright light, and Hazama turned to Relius once more.
"By the way, I imagine that this is going to set the Mad Dog free too, wouldn't it?" Hazama asked, somehow worried to think about Azrael as a fierce obstacle.
"Indeed. The Mad Dog will find a way to this new universe. But in case this happens, you are advised to avoid him as much as possible." Then the machine made a little high-pitched sound. "Ah, good news for you; It looks like the atmosphere is confirmed to be consistent with normal standards for intelligent life."
"Hmph, at least we're sure that I will live this time…" Hazama gave a step ahead to the still forming portal, but was interrupted by Relius.
"One last thing, Hazama." Relius passed him an instrument, the size of a little shoe box. Little antennas could be seen on the small item, along with a little speaker. It was an old radio communicator. "Verify your wrist watch, and every 24 hours you have to contact me, and give me your reports. Understood?"
The portal finally finishes its formation, creating a tame multi-colored portal. Hazama and Relius saw this, but then Hazama took the device. "Yeah yeah, responsibilities, even in other worlds. I know," he said, walking towards the portal, and touching it. It was warm, and felt like some kind of weird water-gas mixture.
"Quick, Hazama. Our time is running out!"
"I get it. Later, you sick freak," he smiled one more time before walking towards the portal, vanishing.
After his departure, Relius was forced to close the portal, and resumed his current investigations before he was catched with his new 'investigation'.
Outsides of Vale. 09:35 PM.
When his trip finished, Hazama was a little dizzy. It was very dark, and he was in the middle of nowhere. As his mind regained his focus he started to check his surroundings, and the sight that caught his attention was a wasted city not so far away. He started to walk in the direction of said place, and the lights gave him hope to find civilization.
Well, that's it. It wasn't really much, I know, but good part of this was exposition. I know too. But that said, I hope this little first part has caught your attention.
Remember: don't be afraid to leave constructive criticism, and if you can, leave your opinion. Hopefully this story will be going to be updated in less than 2 weeks per chapter, so no hiatus for a long time.
Good day/evening/night, and until next time!
