Take a guy whose schoolwork is in full swing, ideas for 3(no, make that 4) new stories, writer's block for an old one and hardly any time to even write, and you have me.
Sorry for the inactivity. In the meantime...
Oh, and this takes place after the Phantom Bullet arc(Gun Gale Online). If side stories count, then it's after Mother's Rosario.
Floor 22, New Aincrad, Kirito and Asuna's Log House.
"Kirito, I'm curious..." Lizbeth asked. "You have any plans on playing something else? Like... another VRRPG?"
"What? No, not really. I mean, I've transferred to Gun Gale Online in the past for a while, but that was for a serious matter. Besides, I'm having enough fun with my friends here, right?"
"Glad to hear that!" The girls(Asuna, Lizbeth, Silica, Sinon, and Leafa) all said at once, resulting in looks from each other.
"Chick magnet." Klein whispered to Kirito.
"Shut up" came the reply.
A few months ago
"You know what I'm thinking, don't you, Seth?"
"Nick, you and I both know that making another game for RWBY isn't a bad idea."
The two friends sat in the Dicey Cafe, discussing their latest project.
"Yeah. But I'm thinking bigger." Nick said. "You ever heard of VRRPGs?"
"Stuff like ALfheim Online?" Seth replied with interest. He'd played that.
"Yes. I'm thinking, Seth..."
"That we create a VRMMORPG of the RWBY world? That would be absolutely genius!"
"You stole the words right out of my mouth, pal."
Back to the present...
"Well... I'm going to logout now." Kirito opened his menu. "Bye guys."
Kazuto lifted the NerveGear off his head. Rising up, he decided to check his email before he went down. One particular email caught his interest.
It was from a friend named Seth.
"I've got a new VRMMORPG you might like." The email read. "Are you familiar with a series named RWBY?"
Yes he was. Kazuto had to admit, it wasn't bad for an anime that was unusually 3D.
"If you like to, maybe you could take some time to transfer your avatar over and be one of the first to play the game - we're calling it 'Remnant Online' or RNO for short - I'd be grateful. Oh, and you can ask your friends too, if you like."
Being a Huntsman didn't sound so bad either.
"I've included a tutorial-like guide for you to get started below. Oh, and the whole Semblance thing... I'll you about that later. It's a pretty interesting system."
Later, in the courtyard of Beacon Academy...
"I'm tirrrrred!" Ruby groaned in exhaustion of her team's training. "Can we stop?"
"Already?" Weiss replied, raising an eyebrow.
"You do realize that we've got a test in Combat tomorrow, don't you?" Blake said.
"Hey, everyone needs a break every now and then! Are you guys even any bit tired?" Ruby pouted.
"She's got a point." Yang spoke up. "We'll just take five then continue."
Meanwhile, Kirito wandered through Beacon after having entered this new game he'd been introduced to yesterday. Admittedly, he'd lied to Asuna. And Leafa. And Lizbeth, Silica, Sinon-
Oh yes, and he was also lost. Beacon Academy was bigger than he thought.
On the other hand, he
That's when he spotted a group of 4 people up ahead, in the courtyard, sitting down on a bench. He noticed that this was Team RWBY from the guide.
"Maybe they could show me around..."
"Now, enough rest!" Weiss stood up. "You guys do know that staying still for too long kills your urge to exercise, right?"
Team RWBY were soon up and ready. "Man, I actually wish we could fight some other team right now, instead of just ourselves." Ruby said.
Careful what you wish for.
"Ahem..." They heard someone clear their throat. When Ruby turned, she saw a boy wearing mostly a black outfit(yes, we know you're edgy).
Team RWBY exchanged looks.
"But it's been halfway through the first semester already." Blake said. "How come you don't know the layout of Beacon yet?"
"Actually, guys... I don't think we've seen him before. Not at Beacon." Ruby said. She looked cautiously at Kirito.
"Uh... actually, maybe I'll just tour myself around." He nervously replied. "Sorry for bothering you guys."
"Wait!"
Kirito turned around.
"S-sorry, we didn't mean to chase you off like that..." Ruby apologized. "I mean, we could show you around Beacon if you want..."
"No, no it's okay." He started to walk away again, but stopped. "What am I doing?" He thought. "The main protagonists of RWBY are standing right there! This is my chance to be able to challenge them!" After all, he was told that he should go ahead and battle with them if he could.
"Actually, there is something I need to ask you, girls..." He paused. "...and Ice Queen."
"Hey!" Weiss hissed. She hated being singled out like this.
"What? I thought you liked recognition?"
"It's too formal. Just call me Weiss."
"OK..." Kirito paused again. "...Ice Queen."
Now Weiss was starting to get irritated. "Grrr..."
"That's enough!" Blake interrupted. "Now, what was it you wanted to ask of us?"
"Oh, this may be a bit sudden, but... would you mind if we had a battle?"
Team RWBY looked at each other. Again.
"Battle?" Yang replied with interest. "You mean like, you take on each of us one by one, or...?"
"Me. Versus all of you." Kirito said to RWBY's surprise. "At once."
Silence. Then Ruby motioned for her teammates to "huddle up."
"He's got guts to make that kind of challenge." Yang whispered. "And doubtlessly some skill, too."
"We don't know what his Semblance is. And we don't know what his weapon looks like, so..." Blake added.
"I have an idea." Ruby chimed in. "Why don't we just overwhelm him with our numbers? There's four of us and only one of him, after all."
"Guess we don't have a choice." Weiss replied. Team RWBY then scattered to face Kirito.
"Oh, and one more thing. I will only attack once you attack. Sound fair?" Kirito (should I call him Jesus-kun from now on?) said.
"Uhh..." Ruby was taken aback even further. "...okay?"
She held up 3 fingers. "Okay, guys, on my count. 3...2..."
The challenger just stood there.
"1..."
Kirito examined his hand.
"Go!" Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang all rushed at Kirito, weapons extended. The four make contact with him at exactly the same time, creating a large cloud of smoke surrounding their impact.
Ruby thought she heard clanging. When the smoke cleared...
Cliffhanger.
Took me a while to finish writing this. Not to mention all the other stuff too... Meh, nevermind. At least it's something.
Stay tuned!
