Hello everyone, my name's The 3rd Dragneel and I would to welcome you to my RWBY/Transformers crossover, the first one I'm doing. Yes I have SO many stories to do, but this idea was in my mind and I thought 'why not try this out? I mean there was alot of stories I didn't expect to do well.' So this will follow the events of Volume 2, more precisely after the first chapter, but with a twist! Now this doesn't follow a specific Transformers series, but there will be references and moments from the Michael Bay movies, as well as the Prime series(Which I freaking loved) The pairing will be Ruby with an OC I have that will be a big help to the Autobots, and there will be twists I hope you guys will like. Anyways without further adieu, let's get started!
Before time began, there was the Cube. We know not where it comes from, only that it holds the power to create worlds and fill them with life. That is how our race was born. For a time, we lived in Harmony, but like all great power, some wanted it for good, others for evil. And so began the war. A war that ravaged our planet until it was consumed by death, and the Cube was lost to the far reaches of space. We scattered across the galaxy, hoping to find it and rebuild our home. Searching every star, every world. And just when all hope seemed lost, message of a new discovery drew us to an unknown planet called…...Remnant. But…...we were already too late.
'Vale, Friday afternoon'
"Alright class, welcome to the Vale museum of History." A woman wearing a tour guide outfit said in front of the visiting class of Beacon Academy. "Here, we'll learn about the ancient legends of Remnant, as well as take a look at some of the most iconic weapons used during the great war. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me or any of the staff nearby."
"Ahem, thank you miss, I'll take it from here." Professor Portman said stoically to the tour guide, who nodded before walking away. Fixing his tie, the large man looked at his class. "Remember class, we're here to understand the past of Remnant's history. It may seem boring to you, but I assure you, this will be worth your time."
"Yeesh, talk about lame, huh?" A fair-skinned young girl with purple eyes and bright golden hair worn loose that fades to pale gold at the tips with a cowlick sticking out at the top said. Her attire consisted of a tan jacket that bares her lower stomach with golden brown piping and short, puffy sleeves with black cuffs that feature two gold buttons. Underneath, she wore a low cut yellow crop top with her emblem on her left breast, a brown belt covered by a pleated brown piece of material reaching from hip to hip around the back of her waist, brown, knee-high boots and orange over-the-knee socks, a lavender bandana tied to her left knee, an orange scarf was wrapped around her neck and black fingerless gloves were on her hands.
"Quiet, can you at least try to look excited about history?" A girl with long white hair tied in a side ponytail, an icicle-shaped tiara was on her head, pale skin and icy blue eyes said with irritation in her voice. She wore a thigh-length strapless dress with a faint color gradation from white to pale blue at the hem. A small piece of black lace sits in the front of her neckline and the hem of the dress is scalloped and stitched to resemble snowflakes, with layers of white tulle under the skirt. Over this she wears a bell sleeved bolero with the same color gradation as her dress from shoulder to wrist, lined in red and with a ruffled collar. On the back of the bolero is the Schnee Crest.
"Aww, don't be so COLD Weissy." The blonde smirked as she saw the glare given to her by her friend.
"She does have a point Yang, try to at least enjoy the fact we're out of class." A girl with fair colored skin, long black hair that reached her waist and amber eyes, as well as a black bow on the top of her head said, though she didn't sound excited. She wore a black buttoned vest with coattails and a single silver button on the front. Underneath this is a white, sleeveless, high necked, crop undershirt and white shorts with a zipper on the front of each leg.
"Yeah, I guess you're right. But why do we have to come to a boring museum? I'd rather be outside or train."
"Boring? How could you think this place was boring?!" A girl, the youngest among the four, with pale skin, neck-length choppy black hair with dark red tips and silver eyes said with glee. She wore a long sleeved thick black blouse with a high collar and red trim on the sleeves, a black waist cincher with red lacing up the front, and a black skirt with red trim. She also wears a pair of thick black stockings and black combat boots with red laces, red trim around the top and red soles. "I mean, look at all these weapons! A lot were used to kill thousands of Grimm and you think it's boring?!"
"Because we don't freak out about new weapons like you." Weiss said blankly.
"Aww, but that makes her so much more adorable." Yang wrapped an arm around her sister's neck while ruffling her hair, much to her irk.
"Yang~! Quit it!" The leader of RWBY pushed her sister away while pouting. "This isn't boring Yang, it's amazing and you should be happy we aren't taking notes."
"Fine." A mischievous smirk appeared on Yang's face as she thought of something. "You know Rubes, if you keep up this whole tough act, how else are you gonna get a boy to like you?"
"YANG!"
"Enough. Let's just get this over with before we get in trouble." Weiss wasn't wrong as their little conversation was getting the attention of both their classmates and fellow museum goers. The girls walked in front of a large glass display, which had a large battle axe on display. "This was General Striker's Battle Axe, which he used against the Grimm in the invasion of Vacao."
"I remember reading about that. He saved dozens of Faunus from being slaughtered on his own." Blake looked at the weapon with a soft smile. Besides her teammates and teachers, she was glad that there were more people who would lay down their life to save her kind. If only there were more people, or better yet Faunus, who would think like he did.
"OOHHHHH! Ren, check this out!" Nora Valkyrie, member of team JNPR, exclaimed to her longtime friend and team while looking at another display, which had a round talisman with a cross in the middle and several strange symbols enscripted on the top.
"It looks like a piece of junk to me." Cardin Winchester, leader of team CRDL, said with a scoff, to which his teammates agreed.
"I wouldn't judge a book by it's cover mr. Winchester." Dr….er Professor Oobleck said while suddenly appeared next to Cardin, making him jump slightly. Then faster than a speeding bullet, he appeared in front of the display while drinking some coffee. "This Talisman was created during the Great War by sir Arthur and his Royal Knights. It was the only thing recovered as his own weapons were reported missing. Due to this, the Talisman is put on display to remind us of his courageous sacrifice. 'Without sacrifice, there can be no freedom.' These were his words on the day he rode with his Knights and followers to build the kingdom we stand in today." With that, he dashed away like Sonic if he needed to go to the bathroom…..or get away from Amy. Jaune, leader of team JNPR, walked up to the glass display and looked at the Talisman in awe.
"Woah….."
"I agree, it's amazing how something so small can make the biggest impact." Pyrrha Nikos, teammate to Jaune, said while looking at the artifact.
"It would have been an honor to see such a warrior." Lien Ren, final member of JNPR, said while bowing at the Talisman in honor of sir Arthur.
"BORING! It's just a piece of metal. OH, let's go to the gift shop!" Nora, like with Oobleck, disappeared in a cloud of smoke to the gift shop. Ren shook his head before going off to stop Nora from…...being Nora. The redhead giggled a bit before she noticed Jaune staring at the Talisman with a small frown.
"You know: I always wanted to be a warrior like my family and this Arthur guy. Maybe if I was stronger…" He felt a hand on his shoulder, revealing it to be a smiling Pyrrha.
"I know you'll become that warrior someday Jaune, just believe in yourself and have the courage to fight." His frown slowly turned to a smile as he nodded.
"Thanks Pyrrha, I needed that. Hey, check out that sword." The blonde ran to another display, which had a very large sword with a golden handle and spotless blade. "Man, I bet Crocea Mors would look awesome in a display. Not that I'm saying I'd ever trade them for money or fame. I'm just saying….." The rest of the students from Professor Port and Oobleck's classes were scattered inside the museum, either checking out the artifacts or simply sitting on the sidelines, checking their Scrolls for updates and games.
"Oh, that's General Vier's Hunting Rifle that he used to kill a Nevermore with a single shot, and OH! Those are the first grenades ever used in combat!" With her speed, Ruby began going from display to display, checking them out like it was a candy store and she was a sugar-crazed child. "Huh?" Fortunately for everyone, she stopped running when she came across an open display on the far right of the museum. What she was looking at was what looked like a large shard of metal with strange symbols enscripted on the side. There was no glass covering the artifact, allowing Ruby to see the symbols more clearly.
"Ruby, wait up." WBY were able to catch up to their leader. "If you're going to be a leader, then you have to learn to-" Weiss raised a brow as she saw Ruby staring at the shard. "Ruby?"
"It's just a hunk of broken metal Rubes, nothing special."
"You'd be wrong miss." A male voice called out from the side. The speaker was a tall male with a slim build, tannish skin, ebony hair with his bangs covering his left eye and lime-green eyes. He wore the standard museum guide's outfit that consisted of a green sweater with the Vale symbol over his right breast, tan pants and brown shoes. "This isn't any ordinary piece of metal. It's actually a material recovered 40 years ago that crash landed in Remnant from space."
"Space?" Blake asked with skepticism on her voice.
"I understand if you don't believe me, but it's the truth. Vale's forefeathers found this material about 200 miles from this very location. It was unlike anything they've ever seen. Many have attempted to break this metal, but it was never damaged, not even a scratched could be placed in it. Some believe it is a sign of extraterrestrials while others believe it's God sending us a message. The only clue is the writing on the side, and yet no one has been able to make any sense of it. It truly is one of our world's greatest mysteries."
"YYYYYEEEEEEHHAAAWWW!" The group's attention was drawn to the middle of the museum, where Nora was swinging on a large model of the skeletal system of a large Grimm like she was Tarzan's wife or something. "Check it out, I'm queen of the Grimm~I'm queen of the Grimm~!"
"Nora, get down from there!" Ren shouted while running up, only for his friend to be on the other side.
"Come and get me~"
"Guys, you'll get hurt!" Though he wanted to be brave, Jaune's fear for heights and…..well dying, kinda kept him on the ground.
"Please be careful!" Pyrrha shouted with heavy concern.
"Oh my!" The guide ran towards the scene while Yang laughed her ass off, Blake sighed and Weiss facepalmed.
"Looks like Nora's having a 'swing' of a time! Eh?" Wanting to see more of the action, Yang ran towards the scene.
"I can't believe-you know what? I can believe it." Reluctantly, Weiss and Blake went with her to see this…..event through. The only one who didn't go was Ruby, who continued to stare at the silver eyes squinted a bit as she looked at the writing…...just as it suddenly shined bright blue for a brief second.
"Huh?" The rosette blinked as she looked around. "Did anyone else see that?" Unfortunately, everyone was too busy seeing Nora swinging the skeleton to even notice. Looking back at the piece of metal, she suddenly began to feel…...drawn to it, like a moth to a flame or Goku to food. It was like the shard was peaking her interest more than usual. Being the curious child she was, Ruby extended her hand, moving closer and closer to the shard as the letters began to glow.
And then she touched the surface…..
*BOOM*
Suddenly, flashes started to appear in front of Ruby's eyes so fast, she barely had anytime to register them properly. She saw a massive civilization with large giants, a large scale battle ensued, a cube falling from space, breaking to pieces, but the last one…...was a pair of glowing red eyes glaring at her, as if the strongest Grimm was sizing her up for the killing blow. "KYAH!" When the visions were over, Ruby fell on her butt, her heart felt like it was gonna burst as sweat ran down her cheeks. That was so sudden, she couldn't even describe how shocking it was. What….just happened? What was that place, and who was staring at me? The scythe-wielder had so many questions about this.
"WWWEEEEEEE!"
"NORA DON'T!"
*CRASH*
Unfortunately, Nora swung so hard, she accidently kicked the leg of the skeleton, causing it to collapse in front of everyone. The spectators were either laughing, looking at the bones with concern…..or just sweatdropping. The skull began to shift before a certain orange head popped out with a big grin. "Let's do that again!"
"I guess Nora had a BONE to pick, huh?" Yang joked, only for most to give her a blank look or facepalm.
"Just…...stop."
"Come on, don't be so COLD HEARTED Weiss." Again, she was given a glare from the heiress of the Schnee family while Blake rolled her eyes before noticing Ruby walking up to them, her hands slightly shaking.
"Ruby, you okay?"
"H-huh?" Ruby saw the somewhat concerned expression on the secret faunus, so she gave her a fake smile. "Yeah, just felt a bit cold."
"You hear that Weiss? You should try to warm up."
"Quiet you." Though she was smiling on the outside, her mind was somewhere else.
Just what is that thing? Little did Ruby Rose know, she was being watched by an outside force.
'Far from Vale, later that day'
Above the night skies of Remnant, the clouds were floating with the wind, birds and Grimm flew in the air, the sound of a large engine flying through…...wait what?
Above the clouds was something that no one would ever expect. It was a large warship that looked to be from hell itself with spikes on several parts of the haul, a large observation deck in the front and several large engines on the back, keeping it afloat. "Soundwave, why have you called me at such an hour?" A voice called from the shadows with clear irritation. The speaker was far from human or Faunus. It, or rather he, was a large mechanical being with grey-metal armor, jet wings on the back, sharp claws, a red line in the middle of his head and glowing red eyes. This was Starscream, temporary leader of the Decepticons and he was not happy. "Well, explain." In front of him was another bot, but this one had a much different body. It had a dark purple color scheme with a rectangular chest that resembled a cassette player, a vulcan machine gun on its right shoulder and a red visor with a grey mouthguard. This is Soundwave, communications chief and spy expert of the Decepticons. Sounwave typed on a large holographic keyboard as a large screen appeared before him.
"Allspark fragment, detected." Soundwave said in a robotic, monotone voice, not even turning to face Starscream, whose optics widened in shock.
"What?" The screen showed footage of the Vale museum of History, more specifically, the metal shard team RWBY was looking at. Starscream couldn't believe his optics, another piece of the Allspark, found the very planet they flew over. "How is it you only discovered it now Soundwave?"
"Allspark fragment has been offline for eons, scanners could not detect it. It was activated by this human." Fast forwarding the video, Soundwave showed the part where Ruby was in front of the fragment before touching it, causing the camera to short out, but hey could clearly see this human had activated it.
"A piece of the all powerful Allspark, activated by a human child of all things." A groan escaped Starscream's mouth. It was bad enough that they had to stay in this planet, but now they had to find some girl because the Allspark gave her the knowledge? "Who is this human?" Soundwave's visor began to glow as he hacked through every website in Remnant before he found a profile with the girl's face on it.
"Ruby Rose, student at Beacon Academy. Username: Rosequeen3562. Currently a second year. Location found, sending information to Barricade."
"Why that piece of scrap?"
"Barricade is capable of infiltrating without detection, unlike you." Starscream scowled at the monotone bot, but he couldn't deny that he was right.
"Very well Soundwave, but if he fails to bring the girl, then I will take it upon myself to do it." A devilish smirk crept on Starscream's face as he looked through the observation deck, at the shattered moon of Remnant. "Soon we'll have gathered all the pieces to revive Cybertron….for our lord Megatron…."
'Elsewhere'
Far from the outskirts of Beacon stood a small house, surrounded by a small wasteland. Inside the house, fire sparking through metal as a figure was seen making new equipment while humming to themselves. It was a rather productive day, he was able to live another day and even got some new tech from his 'allies' to cure his boredom.
*Beep, beep*
"Hmm?" The figure turned off his torch when his computer received a new message. Taking off his mask and putting his tools down, he rolled to it before opening the message, only to widen his eyes in shock. "Holy shit….." Typing on the keyboard, his printer began creating a small picture before he took it out and ran outside. "Bee…...I think we found something." A large shadow appeared in front of him before he handed it the picture. "Looks like we got a mission buddy."
AAANNNNDDDDD that is it for part one of the introduction to this hopefully good story. I know it wasn't much and/or it's rather cliche, but this is how Transformers series/stories start, with a human making contact with a Cybertronian or an artifact related to them. Like I said, this idea came to me one day as I watched some clips from the Michael Bay films, and I thought 'why not give it a RWBY twist since having them in the Fairy Tail universe is rather….dumb.'
So as you see, I am using the Starscream from Prime and Soundwave from War for Cybertron. As for everyone else, I will use either their looks from the MB movies or from Prime, possibly for other media as well if I think one looks better than the other. Hopefully you guys like the references I made, even if you don't like the movies, and trust me, we'll see a lot more. There will be guardians for each human/faunus, though not all of them will have one. For example, the person in the end of this chapter(who is an OC) will have a certain black and yellow bot as a guardian. I truly hope you guys like this story as I have my friend Brandon(who is Dark Shadow in out story Death Battle!) helping me out.
Follow, Fav, Review and PM for anything….
