Dragonball: Rwby
Episode 1: Ruby Rose and Son Goku
Welcome ladies and gentlemen to a brand new world filled with adventure and thrill around every corner. I'm sure both of you recognize these two famous universes- the world of Dragon Ball; a world filled with many things to explore and surreal experiences all over. From little boys with tails to Dinosaurs walking and some even talking. However, the world of Dragon ball isn't without its share of evil, everyone knows whom I'm referring to when I say in a world filled with weird Emperors, a massive army, and the Demon King himself, it takes one innocent boy to defeat them all. A boy whom will grow into a man no one will ever forget. Now compared to the… Darker tones that the world of Remnant is filled with; oppression, racism, greed, monsters that want nothing more than to rip you apart. All it takes is a single simple soul, a small light in the darkness to ignite hope, to shine away at the right path. A young girl with a sense of justice and a love for cookies, whose future is unknown. But if I was a betting man… I'd say she'll leave a great mark on the world and every ones hearts… Just like the Oum that created her.
With that out of the way I want you all to imagine something. What if Both the DragonBall universe and the Rwby universe were one in the same. Like the surrealness of Dragon Ball merged with the Darkness of Rwby. In a world with three races, Humans, Faunus and "other". The "other" option includes people like Oolong, puar, Pilaf, and those like them. Many of the "other" race are just as discriminated against for appearing similar to Grimm. As an example, In the beginning of DragonBall Bulma gets temporarily kidnaped by a pterodactyl whom could talk. Their is a species of Grimm Identical to him, however, because his Grimm counterpart acts like its name implies, many hate him. If you see a T-rex riding a ball then you can expect a G-Rex to exist and seek its next prey. But unlike DragonBall every earthling no matter the race, has a semblance. Now that I've rambled on far too much let me leave you with this…
With the World of Remnant and the World of Dragon Ball as one;
How much will change?
And
How much will remain the same?
Red like roses fills my dreams and brings me to the place you rest
White is cold and always yearning burdened by a royal test
Black the beast descends from shadows
Yellow beauty burns gold
The screen seems to glitch. With visions of 4 dead girls, flattened, ripped apart, mutilated, and burnt close to ash.
Find the Dragon Balls! Look out for them all!
You can search around the world with me.
Gotta heed the call of magic Dragon Balls!
What a great adventure this will be.
You can climb on board, 'cause the Nimbus doesn't wait!
A fantastic journey for your dreams - a thrilling mystery!
Once more the screen glitches static. Images of a boy crying in pain at the moon with an arm missing, a bald child with a severed head, a blue haired woman with her brain and heart removed, and a tall wolf like man with a large bite mark where his lower half used to be.
The screen glitches again and you hear a young boy, singing through tears.
I seek. The Red. The White. The Black and the Yellow. My new friends. In the Remnants of my home.
I seek the Rose. The White Snow. The Beast and my Yellow flame. Like the Rose and the Flame, I lost my loved one. Death. By my monstrous Hand.
I Laid. Asleep. Beneath. the Moons shattered heart.
I seek. The Red. The White. The Black and The Yellow. Those I wish. To call. My new fami-ly. I leave them my Eter-nity. Beneath my red stars. A man gave to me.
I seek. The Rose. The White Snow. The Beast and my Yellow flame. I leave them my life, I hope to regain. The Remnants. Of what I left. Seem so far out of Reach. I call them my loved ones as to give me my strength. They see happiness. Where I see a Monster.
I seek. The Red. The White. The Black. And the Yellow.
My Hope. My Mind. My Soul. And my Warmth.
I seek who I am. Will I find all seven? In hopes. To maintain. The Courage I have.
I seek. The Red. The White. The Black. And the Yellow.
-Vale, night. 3rd person-
Ah yes, here we find something magical. A boy riding a yellow cloud as the young night sets in. A young Son Goku, at the age of twelve. He's on an adventure as his story implies. Seeking what this time? … You'll have to find out.
The boy is overcome with a slight panic feeling in his lower half, the need to pee, a feeling so powerful he forces his cloud to stop on a dime. He arrived at a dust shop in hopes to find relief, he ran inside to the owner.
"Excuse me sir do you have a toilet?" Goku asked frantically as he jumped, with his tail swaying around him.
"Yeah it's in the back." The owner replies.
"Thank you!" he yelled as he ran passed a hooded girl whom was to into her music to hear him run by.
The girl, young ruby rose, remained unaware of her surroundings until she was tapped on the shoulder by a man with a gun.
"Huh? Yes?" She said.
"I said put your hands in the air! Now!" He said.
"Are you Robbing me?" She asked.
"Yes!" He replied.
"Ohhh." she said.
The man and one of his colleagues soon found himself through the front window of the shop. The girl jumped through and turned around, activating her weapon as she did so.
"Ok… get her." A man with orange hair said.
Three men tried to rush her… but they were quickly exposed of.
"You were worth every cent, truly you were. Well Red I can say it has been a truly eventful evening and as much as I'd love to stick around I'm afraid this is where we part ways." The man said as he rose his cane and fired at the girl.
Before the shot could collide with her a blur appeared in front of her eyes and stopped the explosion.
"What?" the criminal questioned.
"You know it's not nice to point guns at kids you big meany. Some one could get hurt." Said the voice from the smoke.
As it cleared both laid eyes upon a young boy, smaller than the girl in Red with spiky black hair and obsidian eyes. He wore a blue martial arts Gi with a symbol on his back, the symbol looked like an orange circle with four red stars in the middle. The boy also had what looked like a red pole in a sheath tied to his back.
"Man kid you certainly take your vitamins…" The criminal said.
Goku gave a big smile and stood proudly. The older girl rushed up next to him…
"Hey thanks and all, but I could have dodged it." She said.
"Oh well, it was just the right thing to do." He said smiling.
"Thanks" She returned a similar smile.
"Ok now that we've got through the corny-ness… If I don't get home my ball and chain is going to turn me to Cinders." He joked. He then raised his cane once more, fired three more shots at the ground.
Both kids choked on the smoke that was created. When they reoriented themselves, they saw the sarcastic criminal scaling a ladder up the side of a building. In response the two kids chased him up the side, they had a standoff on the roof. They were silent as they glared at each other, the boy had drawn his red pole and got in a stance.
"Hey!" ruby yelled.
"Persistent" the criminal said under his breath.
A moment later an airship rose up and opened its door, as to which he promptly boarded
"End of the line Red!" As he tossed a large shard of Red dust.
"Power pole extend!" Goku yelled as he knocked the shard away.
"Cool…" Ruby said.
"Man you kids are weird." He said as he fired several shots at the children, only to have it blocked once more by a force field.
Behind the Dark pinkish force field stood a tall blonde woman, with a riding crop and tied blonde hair. The woman struck with the crop and fired many streams of Aura at the air ship, tossing the criminal about the interior.
"We got a huntress!" the man yelled as he took the controls from the female pilot.
The Red dressed pilot ran to the opening of the airship, before she could retaliate the blonde woman fired a pink ball of light into the sky causing storm cloud that rained Ice upon the airship. The pilot retaliated by firing a fire blast at the woman, in spite of her blocking the pieces remaining was used as blast upward. Luckily the blonde woman dodged the final attack, next she telekinetically caught the broken pieces of roof top and formed a pike, using it as a projectile against the Pyro pilot. In response the pilot fired several more blasts in an attempt to break up the projectile, however the second they broke apart they reformed a moment later. As a desperation attack the pilot produced an outward blast that incinerated the projectile. Ruby tried firing several rounds at the woman, but the shots were blocked with the palm of her hand. Following their lead, Goku resheathed his power pole and cupped his hands together, next he brought his hands to his sides.
"KA…..ME…..HA…..ME…..HAAA!" He yelled quickly as he shot his hands forward a blue blast burst toward the airship.
Having no time to be shocked the Pilot charged a fireball and threw it at the oncoming blast, it met the blast and the two struggled for a few seconds. The fireball exploded and disrupted the wave, this gave the criminals time to get away.
"Woah!" Ruby Yelled in amazement.
The Blonde huntress, who expressed very little emotion during the fight was now astonished as she recognized both the attack that was used and the red pole on Goku's back.
"Don't worry I'll get them. FLYING NIMBUS!" Goku yelled as he jumped on his yellow cloud. However suddenly he couldn't move, his eye were the only thing drifting to the blonde woman who had a mental hold over the boy's body.
"Hold it! They can wait!" The woman said. Goku nodded as expressing his agreement to stay.
"Are we just going to ignore the magic cloud?" Ruby asked.
"You! Boy what is your name?" She asked sternly.
"Me? Oh, my name is Goku. Son Goku. Nice to meet you." He replied with his iconic smile.
"Where did you learn that attack?" She asked almost violently.
"I watched old turtle hermit do it and I wanted to do it too. So… I did." He explained innocently.
After a moment of shock she continued with, "And the Weapon on your back?"
"The power pole? My Grandpa gave it to me." He said, sitting crossed legged on his cloud.
She closed her eyes and held the bridge of her nose, she sighed for a minute before she felt someone tap her shoulder. She looked down at the young hooded girl stoically,
"Your… a huntress! Can I have your autograph!?" She asked.
-3rd person. Interrogation room-
"I hope you know neither of your actions will be taken lightly you two. You two put yourself and others in great danger." The woman scolded.
"They started it!" Both Ruby and Goku yelled simultaneously.
"If it were up to me you'd both be sent home, with a pat on the back… and a slap on the wrist!" She said, filling them with childish hope, then ripping it down. "But there is someone here who wants to meet you."
After she said that a silver haired man walked in with a very large plate of cookies. "Ruby Rose… And… Son Goku." He said as he paused, leaned over and looked at the children. "You have silver eyes…"
"um…" she sputtered
"And you…. have pure black eyes…" he continued referring to Goku.
"Yup! My Grandpa says it's like looking into beowolf hide!" Goku replied happily, bringing a small smile to both adults face.
"So where did you learn to do this?" The man said.
"S-Signal academy?" She replied unsure.
"So they taught you to use one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed?" He asked.
"Well one teacher in particular." She replied again.
"I see." He said as he set the plate down.
At first Ruby was hesitant, but soon started chowing down on the sweets. But her happiness was cut short when after her third cookie she realized… THEY WERE ALL GONE! She looked over at the boy… WHO HAD EATEN ALL HER COOKIES.
"It's just I've only seen one other scythe wielder of that caliber before… a dusty old Qrow…" He said, bringing her attention to him again.
"Yeah thats my uncle Qrow! He's a teacher at signal. I was complete garbage before he took me under his wing, and now I'm all like WHOAAAA! WHITCHAAAA!" She explained and mimicked a martial artist.
"So I've noticed… And what is an adorable girl such as yourself doing at a school designed to train warriors?" He asked.
"I want to be a huntress…" She replied.
"You want to slay monsters?" He asked.
"Yeah I only have two more years at Signal. Then I'm going to apply to Beacon. See my sister is starting there this year and she wants to be a Huntress and well I want to be a Huntress because I want to help people and my parents taught us always to help others, so I though. Eh, I mean might as well make a career out of it. I mean the police are alright but hunters and huntresses are just so much more romantic, exciting and cool and just GYAHH!" She squealed. The blonde woman looked puzzled, but the silver haired man smiled softly.
"And you child. You're younger than she is, how did you not only learn but master the turtle devastation wave technique?" He asked Goku.
"Oh I watched the turtle hermit do it… So I tried it and I did it!" Goku replied with a smile.
"Turtle hermit… Master Roshi?" He asked
"Yup we needed some help with the Ox King's fire mountain, and I met him when I saved his turtle. So he came to help us out, and it was awesome!" Goku explained
"Ox King! That's my grandfather!" Ruby chimed in.
"Really?" Goku questioned.
"Yeah, well on the Xiao Long side of the family. He's my dad's dad." She explained.
"Tell me where did you get this red pole?" The man asked as the blonde lady put it on the table.
"My Grandpa Gohan gave it to me! He even taught me how to use it!" Goku replied happily.
"Gohan… that's a name I haven't heard in a very long time…" He replied.
"Sir I don't remember Gohan having any kids?" the woman asked.
"He doesn't, I'm adopted. He said he found me in the middle of the woods." Goku explained.
"That would explain why your Faunus." She said.
"Tell me, do you both know who I am?" The man asks.
"Nope." Goku said.
"Yes. You're Professor Ozpin the headmaster at Beacon." Ruby said.
"Hello." He greeted.
"Hi." Goku replied.
"Nice to meet you." Ruby greeted.
"You want to come to my school miss Rose?" Ozpin asked.
"More than anything." she replied.
Ozpin looked to his assistant, who scoffed her approval.
"Well Ok." He said. "You are free to leave."
After watching the happy little girl practically warp out of the room, he sets his kind eyes on the monkey tailed boy before him.
"And what about you Mr. Goku? What do you want?" Ozpin asked.
"After me and a few friends of mine fought Pilaf, I went to go train with Master Roshi. But He said if I wanted to follow a similar path my Grandpa took, I need to train at Beacon first." He replied.
"That makes sense." Ozpin states.
"I mean I knew he was a hunter and I wanted to protect people anyway I can." Goku asks.
"Your Grandfather, Son Gohan, was a teacher at beacon. He took me and my teammates as his pupils, this led us to Master Roshi, who also became our mentor." He explained.
"Really! You all knew my Grandpa!" he exclaimed.
"I did, he was an amazing man. So, would you like become a student at my Academy? By the looks of things you may already have one friend." As Ozpin spoke the woman next to him jolted.
"Professor may I have a word with you?" She asked. The two of them walked back into the previous room.
"May I speak frankly sir?" She continued.
"Of Course Glynda." He replied.
"Do you think this is the right decision?" She asked.
"Yes. I do, I see Gohan in him." He replied.
"That's my point Ozpin! Not only did he master the most difficult technique in the world, a technique neither you nor I have been able to truly master, but but he has his Grand fathers weapon. On top of my biggest fear of him following in his grand fathers footsteps, he is still far too young to enroll." Glynda said, rubbing the bridge of her nose.
"So what else do you feel about this?" Ozpin asked.
"Sigh" she looked through the one way window at the young boy, the happy child. "Gohan did so much for us, as did Roshi. If Master roshi thinks this is the best course of action then… its right."
"But what do you feel Glynda?" Ozpin reiterated.
"If he's Gohan Grandson… I don't know. I wish I could talk to Gohan, ask him about Goku…" She replied.
"Maybe we can ask him." Ozpin said before walking into the room with goku, Glynda following behind.
"Tell me Goku. Your Grandfather, what happened to him?" Ozpin asked.
Goku's expression changed, from happy to stoic, as it did so it felt as if massive amount of tension and anxiety increased beyond nine thousand and flushed into the room. He answered with, "My Grandpa died 3 years ago. He was killed by a giant monster, the last thing I remember was looking up at the moon and passing out. When I woke up, I found a note on his dresser."
Goku stopped and took a deep breath.
"It's Ok goku. I hate to ask you this but we need to know, what killed your Grandfather?" Ozpin asked.
"I think it was a monster, before I passed out I heard a massive roar. It was very different from a Grimms, it was louder and more animal like. I don't think it killed him right away either, There was a trail of blood leading from the river where we were training last night, all the way to our hut. He had bled out after finishing the note." Goku said saddly.
("He's smarter than he appears. He figured out all that from what little he had.") Glynda thought before she asked, "What did the note say?"
"It was his will giving me his Power pole and his most precious keepsake… that i later…" Goku tried to say before he stopped again, seemingly getting sadder.
Ozpin and Glynda are both highly disciplined hunter and huntress, however seeing Son Goku getting increasingly sad… was more than they could bare. This activated what felt like a parental instinct took over them, Ozpin clenched his cane and Glynda gritted her teeth, this was heart wrenching for them and they couldn't figure out why.
"What's wrong Goku?" Ozpin asked.
"My Grandfather's keepsake was the four star Dragon Ball. When we fought Emperor Pilaf he tried summoning the Dragon but Oolong stopped him. I was knocked out at the time as well, when a wish is made on the Dragon Balls the balls are turned to stone and flew across the world." He explained. As he did so, the two adults looked at each other at the mention of the Dragon Balls.
"You mentioned that again, fighting Emperor Pilaf. The notorious criminal Pilaf?" She asked.
"Yeah… That's part of why I want to train at Beacon, I don't want to pass out again before I can help my friends, I want to get stronger." He replied.
"Alright then Goku. I've decided, you may come to my school. However, there is a paper I need you to sign before you can, Pardon me." Ozpin said as he stood up, he motioned for Glynda to follow him.
"Ozpin I don't get it how can he enroll to Beacon?" Glynda asked.
"According to Valein law if a child is deemed "Special" by one of the Temples, minor academies such as signal, or by the officials of one of the schools. Then they take a physical exam testing their unique-ness and if it is deemed enough for one of the schools, say Beacon for example, then they may enroll, no matter how old." Ozpin stated.
"Ok thats great and all but what about his other academics? Math? Science? He's twelve and knowing Gohan, I doubt he had that great of a basic education." she said.
"Well then we'll have to set up a "Special Ed program" for him." Ozpin said.
"I agree with you Ozpin… you know I'll stand by you no matter your decision. But the aptitude test is over seen by every headmaster, meaning the second they all see Goku's ability to use the power pole and the Kamehameha… I don't even know how they'll react. Actually I know exactly how Ironwoods going to react, he'll be furious then he'll want Goku to join his army." Glynda explained.
"The student gets to choose which school he or she gets to go to… Plus in honor of my old master… I will not let Ironwood get his hands on Son Goku." Ozpin said, uncharacteristically he seemed to get … 'Angry'.
"So what's the paperwork he needs to sign?" she asked.
"It would go along way for later if he was adopted and cared for by one of the staff, he'd have better room to grow… Similar to how Gohan allowed us to grow." Ozpin said.
"Who'd be willing to adopt him?" Glynda asked, Ozpins gaze with a smirk gave her the Idea. "No Sorry Ozpin but I found out a long time ago I am not cut out for being a mother." She said.
"Not just you but me as well." He replied as he pulled up the 'papers' on his scroll. He signed his name and handed it to Glynda. "How much do you want to watch him grow? …"
"If he'll be as sweet and kind as Gohan, and I'll never have to see that sadness ever again. I'll do it…" She said signing her name.
They walked back into the room and handed the scroll to Goku, "So Goku, this is will allow us to become your legal guardians and make it easier for you to get into Beacon, However the rest of the journey is your own." Glynda explained.
"Ok… What does that mean?" Goku said, gaining his childlike demeanor back, lifting the infinite sadness from the room.
"It's like we'll be your parents. However we won't pretend to be." Ozpin explained.
"This will allow you better access to Beacon, allowing you to train as much as your GrandFather did. However it's up to you to do the best that you can. But knowing him… you'll be just fine." Glynda said after she was finished face palming.
"Oh… Ok…" He said looking at the scroll. He took the stylist into his hand and sign where it was indicated.
"So… Does that mean I have to call you mom and dad?" Goku said.
Glynda shuttered and Ozpin chuckled, "No you don't have to." He said.
"Hmm. It would be mean not to call you something. I called Grandpa Gohan... Grandpa… I can't call you guys Granny and Grandpa because you're not old." Goku said thoughtfully.
"Thanks." Glynda said sarcastically.
"And I never knew my parents so I don't know how they'd act… I GOT IT… I'll call you Uncle Ozpin and Aunty …. Aunty …." Goku said excitedly.
"Glynda" She assisted.
"AUNTY GLYNDA!" He said with childish excitement. In his excitement he jumped over the table and practically tackled Glynda happily.
His happiness brought Glynda both embarrassment, confusion, and a smile to her face. A smile that Ozpin hadn't seen in a… Very. Long. Time.
END OF EPISODE 1
