This is my first is my first work of writing that im semi comfterbal sharing with ohers, so go easy on me, this is technecally my therapudic writing for when I feel like it.

To cleirfy I do NOT own RWBY nor ever claim to be a part of the making of it. The main characters of the story will be all OCs except for all the teachers of the old Vale Hunter Academy such as Dr Ozpin, Professor Goodwitch ect...

The way I will be telling the Fanfic (which I may add some lemon if you ask for lemons of the characters I put together) is by havign the two main characters Gear Najha, and Ray Arc swap between their sides of the story, so first it would be Gears perspective then Rays and it will go back and forth, hopefully ypu guys will enjoy reading it as I did writing it, although im not the best at creating romances so any help their would be appreciated.

Chapter 1

Gear finally found himself on the transportation bus to the newly built Beacon Academy, after 18 years of learning, training and fighting he finally was accepted to the huntsman Academy he always dreamed of. His best friend Gabriel, a alligator faunus that he met after the accident that made him lose a his right arm and left leg, thanks to a beowulf Grimm that attracted him. After that his family which were rich weapon smiths built him a new arm which utilizes the power of Dust, an alchemical dust which has elemental properties against the dreaded Grimm and any enemies to what was left of the world. Gabriel knew that people hated him for being a faunus because of what the White Fang did in the past. But Gear knew that behind his razor teeth and scaled tail was person of good will and strong heart and took being feared and hated with stride and just laughed along with the haters. Gabriel's sister on the other hand was shy and always tried to keep the fact that she was a faunus a secret however she could, hiding her tail in her pants, wearing a dark green scarf to cover the lower half of her face so her teeth don't show, and when in combat a mask to hide her face as she tore apart anything in her way.

"Hey Gear can you believe this man, we're both going to be training at the legendary Beacon, I'm so stoked for this man." Gabriel gawked at the idea of seeing the academy.

"Boy, calm yourself. I get your excited but you don't need get all hyped up. It's still going to be day to day lessons and training."

Gabby looked over at her brother and the only person she trusted to show her true face to, she looked out the window and saw Beacon, she gasped loudly and everyone turned to see Beacon Academy

"Oh my god, it's beautiful"

"I can't wait to see what's it's like."

"Ah Crap, I forgot my toothbrush."

Gear and some others stood up and grabbed his luggage as the bullhead landed to drop the kids off, a voice was heard over the intercom.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Beacon academy."

As everyone stepped off the bullhead Gear noticed that there was 3 other ships outside, each representing each of the main empires left in Remnant, The Valencia which is the one they were on, Vacuous, Atlas, and Mistral.

"Oh come on Jackie I didn't mean to do that"

Gear turned to see two figures,a tall skinny asian like female in what seemed to be jeans and a silken shirt with a small dagger with a silken rope hanging from the pommel like a rope dart, and a smaller yet beefier male with a mechanical sword on his back.

"Well then you shouldn't have eaten those corn dogs before getting on the bullhead." The female sounded irritated and furious.

"But I didn't mean to throw up on your shoes." Upon hearing this Gear looked down and realised that the females shoes had what used to be white shoes had what seemed to be a orange red substance coating the front of them. Gear laughed causing the two people to look over and see him. The female walked over to him and the guy followed behind her.

"HI sorry that you had to over hear that... My names Jackie, Jackie Patel." She extends a hand and gives a smile to Gear.

"Names Gear, so this guy threw up on your shoes." looked over her shoulder to see the guy standing there waiting.

"Yeah, his stomach doesn't do so well after eating when he flys…..or is on any kind of transport." Glares over at him.

"What I said I was sorry, Names Zarath by the way."

"Anywho nice meeting you Gear I think we'll be seeing you in the mess hall later,bye for now"

With that the two left and Gabriel and Gabby finally came out.

Gear looked over to his left and saw a kid that seemed to catch his eye. He wore a dark blue hoodie and his head was bobbing up and down like he was listening to music, he pulled off his hood, revealing dirty blond hair and pulled the ear phones out and looked at the building before sighing and started walking, he also saw what seemed to be another feline looking faunus trying to sneak behind him, she looked longingly at him before hiding behind something as the boy looked back. She sighed heavily after the boy started walking again, she finally came out from hiding and walked normally toward the school. Gear finally took the hint and started walking toward the main entrance with Gabriel and Gabby by his side

"This is going to be epic." Gabriel yelled as Gear smiled.

"Yep certainly is." Gear lowered his head as he walked and closed his eyes before entering the building.

As the kids walked through the halls of Beacon, they came to the gymnasium where a man was standing, he didn't appear to be any older than the students were, yet as the boy talked he sounded like he was well in his forties

"Hello, I am Dr. Ozpin, I am here to give you a welcome for entering Beacon academy, I'm not really good with these speeches so I will hand you off to Professor Goodwitch, but before that I must give you a warning, if you are here you already know the risk of battling Grimm, which is why I'm here to remind you that this duty we all hold, is not for the faint of heart. I hand it to you Goodwhich." A taller female then walked up to the stage and started congratulating everyone that made it to Beacon.

"Dude when are the teachers going to stop talking and let us in on some real action." Gabriel whispered into Gears ear, which was then replied with and elbow to the gut.

"Do you not know who that is, that's Glynda Goodwitch, show some respect for her when she talks."

"...and with that I will conclude introductions, you will all sleep I the mess hall tonight, and after tomorrow you will be sorted into teams and rooms, so get some good rest, and try to not have "fun" while in the mess hall, we have had incidents like that in the past, and we would prefer it not happen again. Goodnight and I bid you all farewell." With that she was gone

As everyone changed into their pajamas gear looked over to see that boy again, listening to his music and bobbing his head as he pretended to play the drums. Gear walked over to him and tapped his shoulder.

" Hey what's your name kid?"

The boy looked up confused and took the earphone out

"I'm sorry, didn't really catch that." he looked up innocently.

"Your name, what is it, I'm Gear." he extended his hand waiting for a hand shake

"Ray, Ray Arc, Is that an arm made out of titanium?"

"Woah woah woah, your last name is Arc, as in Jaune Arc." Gear got excited knowing he had just met a relative of one of the former people who went to the old Beacon academy and took down the White Fang.

"I really don't want to talk about my past if that's okay with you?" Ray asked pleadingly

"Well why not, your a relative of a hero."

Ray whispers under his breath "there's more to the story than meets the eye." With that Ray put his headphones back in and acted like he feel asleep.

"Hey wait can I also ask what your weapon is?" Ray sits up and pulls out his sword, there were two wires sticking out and Gear realised the wires were the earphones. Ray stood up and brandished his weapon, he then turned it into a spear, a rifle without a scope and then a shield with a razer edge. Gear stood there in awe but quickly came to his senses. Ray sat back down after sheathing his weapon and acted like we went to sleep.

"Okay bye I guess." Gear walked back over the his sleeping roll and quickly went to sleep.

Ray: Nightmare and Training Day!

Chapter 2

Ray stood up as the music stopped in his ear. He looked at his phone and saw that it was 12:20. "Midnight great" He whispered to himself, he saw a couple figures move in the darkness of the mess hall. In the midst of it all only two figures were apparent, and clearly visible in front of girls slept next to each other, one a lion faunus in what seemed to be a brown sports bra with a red tank which had seemingly golden elegant designs and wore matching red pajama pants which also had golden designs. Next to her laid another female yet she looked like she was the punk or goth kid in her school. She wore what seemed to be fine silken black clothing and her top had a neon blue skull on it and her pants had matching skulls going down her legs. Ray shook his head trying not to get any ideas, he stood up and started walking to the bathroom, on his way out of the mess hall he saw the metal armed boy who said his name was gear, he wore a grey tank top and black shorts. He looked to be in pain from sleeping as his face was all scrunched up but then the expression was gone and was replaced by a slack emotionless face as if he passed out in his dream as well.

As Ray walked through the halls he saw Professor Goodwitch and Dr. Ozpin walking through an intersection further down the hall. On instinct he got up close to them and hid behind a pillar in the wall.

"You know there not going to like it when they find out what you have in plan tomorrow." Goodwitch said in a reluctant tone.

"Yes Glenda you made it quite clear the last time we had this conversation. When I had my other body." Ray's eyes widened as Ozpin said the last part. They continued

"Well they still won't considering they will have to be flung through the air by platforms and have to face the Grimm with a person they may have just met." Ray sneezed and he knew he was busted because as he turned he was staring face to face with green eyes with blond hair strands hanging down.

"Crap." Ray fixed his posture and faced the woman know as Glinda Goodwitch.

"How much did you hear?" She said sternly.

"Most of what you said. Sorry but I was just wandering around looking for the bathroom and well, I saw you and my first instinct was…" Ray was cut off short by a cane hitting chest gently.

"It's fine that he knows, as long as he doesn't go around telling others about it, he can do without punishment. And the bathrooms are just over there." he pointed to where they just passed and I had yet to cross. Goodwitch gave him a irritated look and sighed. With that Ray ran into the bathroom not wanting to cause any more trouble.

"So what did you use for the trophies this year?" Glenda asked Ozipn

"Same as the last time. Figured it would be easier then to go out and get more items just to have them given back."

In the bathroom Ray looked in the mirror and washed his face with cold water. He looked over his shoulder and saw a Grimm behind him, he turns quickly only to see a wooded area, he heard a scream come from where the mirror originally was. Ray turned and saw his mom and dad being chased by and Ursa major, they both yelled run as Ray just stood there, motionless, her father picked him up and started running with him, both of his parents tripped and fell knocking Ray down a few feet in front on them, he saw the Grimm raise its bear claws and rip into his parents, Ray screamed as a blond figure with a sword and shield with a familiar crest on the shield. The man killed the beast but couldn't save Ray's parents, The man turned and saw Ray, the man finally was recognized as Jaune Arc, Ray's uncle, as Jaune walked closer to him, Ray passed out.

Ray woke up 3 hours later,he found himself in an infirmary bed with a woman in a medical uniform next to him.

"Where…..where am I?" He asked the woman.

"The the medical wing, you were brought here by Dr. Ozpin himself, in fact he still is right next to you." She motioned to the other side of the bed where the headmaster himself sat.

"Hello again Ray… seems like you just can't stay away from me can you." He chuckled as he looked into Ray's eyes.

"Wait...how did I get here, I was in the bathroom wasn't I?"

"Yes you were yet me and Professor Goodwitch heard a scream come from the bathroom and found you blacked out on the floor." Ray rubs his head finding a huge bump on it.

"Please tell me I'll still be able to do the course today?" Dr. Ozpin nods and relief fills Ray's body. He stands up and makes his way from the door.

"Where are you going?" Ozpin asked curiously

"Back to the mess hall, if I'm able to stand and talk, I'm able to go back to the mess hall so I won't miss anything." Ray smiles back at Ozpin before asking his way back to the sleeping area, opens the infirmary door again and grabs a map before closing it again.

As Ray got back he realized that someone was also awake, going through all of his stuff, he approached the person only to find it was the lion faunus that wore the red and gold pajamas.

He sat next to her looking into own bag, she doesn't realized until he asks

"Anything good in there?"

"So far nothing to help me get his scent so I can find out where he is." She said without turning around.

"Would this help?" He pulls his arm out of his sleeve and hands it to her, she smells it and her blush was so red you could even see it in the dark. Ray put a hand on her shoulder.

"Sooo, why did you want to find me." It takes her a minute to respond

" I um, heard a scream and woke up,and saw that you weren't in your sleeping position, I umm, got worried and wanted to find you." Ray gives a confused look before just shrugging it off.

"Okay, may I ask the name of the person who is going through my stuff though?"

"My name is Sarah as you can see I'm a lion faunus." Ray looked into her eyes and saw her golden irises, her long auburn hair and instantly had a crush on her. He didn't know what she would feel like if he asked her other so he just stayed silent and kept a straight face thinking no girl like this would ever want to go out with me.

"Well uh, my name is Ray and well im pretty tired so uhh goodnight morning whatever." He the puts his earphones in and passes out not waiting for her to leave.

When Ray woke up his head was still pounding, now with the mess hall filled with waking teens and noise, he looked over at Gear and saw he was eating bacon, Gear noticed and walked over to Ray and extended his non metal arm and picked him up.

"Wake up white boy, you want some breakfast." He finished his bacon and pulled out some frozen bacon from his cooler.

"Now how am I going to eat that, it's all frozen and raw?" Without a word Gear put three slabs of bacon on his metal hand and instantly the bacon was cooked to perfection.

"I guess that's why you didn't pull me up with that hand." Ray was then given two pieces of bacon and munched on them silently.

"Why are you being nice to me, I don't even know you?" Before gear could respond Dr. Ozpin's voice was heard over the intercom com.

"Everyone meet at the back of the school, we will be waiting for you there, leave your things and bring your weapons." As soon as the intercom when the silent everyone picked up there weapons and left, including Ray, Gear and the others.

"Right now you are all going to be apart of a treasure hunt, only there is no clues and your partners will only be decided by the person you first make eye contact with,there are only sixteen treasures so some of you will be leaving Beacon, that said each team of two will only need one price to move on, there also will be surprises for you in the forest for you to deal with, step onto the pads in front of you and you will be launched onto the field, goodbye and good luck." people then tried to cheat the system and tried to find ways to get the people they wanted. Ray was one of the first people to launch into the field, he used his shield to cushion the fall and clear the way of any debris that gets in the way, switches his weapon into a spear and lands on a tree perfectly before back flipping off the tree with weapon in hand. Ray looks up to see a Hispanic looking boy flying through the air with rockets, a tree hits his left foot and he starts crashing into the ground, he runs to the crash site to find Gear in the ground with a long dirt trail behind him.

"Are you okay dude." Gear twitches slightly before standing up he looks exhausted and in pain but smiles.

"Yeah, yeah I'm good." obviously not good. Ray rolls his eyes and sighs.

"Well gear looks like we're a team, and also since I'm pretty sure the headmaster won't mind we telling you at this point, we have to fight random Grimm in here."

"Two questions, one we are actually fighting Grimm Grimm here, not training dummies, and second how do you know this?" As if on cue a loud roar could be heard from somewhere in the woods.

"I went to the bathroom last night and overheard Ozpin talking to Goodwitch, come on we got to get to the trophies before were the last ones." Ray grabs Gear's shirt and starts pulling him, and try his surprises soon he wasn't even feeling Gear and it turned out that he was using his rocket to hover, as Ray looked back he was then being pulled forward by Gear toward the ancient ruin that stood with the sixteen chess prices, Ray grabs the black bishop and looks over at Gear who looked on in approval.
