What´s up, everybody? It´s me, Batusaylegend and I bring you a new XCOM x RWBY crossover. I hope you like it and, please, leave your opinions.

Don´t own RWBY or XCOM, only OC Daniel Shen.


In the deeps of the ruins in one of the many lands who have been destroyed by the Grimms. Team RWBY was sent there with the mission to eliminate any Grimm that could be in there and investigate the rumors about the "secret organization" who established there. Ruby Rose, who was the youngest of the team, but she was choose as the leader. She wears a combination of red and black skirt which combines with her hair and her beloved weapon Crescent Rose. Next to her we could find Weiss Schnee, heiress of the Schnee industry. She was 2 years older than Ruby, but without her heeled wedge boots she was shorter than Ruby, of course she would never admit that. She wear a pale blue bolero jacket over a white dress. Her weapon is a reaper with a revolver´s chamber in the basket hilt named Myrtenaster. At the right side of Weiss we got Blake Belladonna. She was a Cat Faunus with a short cleaver with a sharp-edge sheath, which scream "overkill", and whose name was Gambol Shroud. She fancy black color clothes, which combine with a white shirt and an incredible childish ribbon on the top of her head. The last one was Yang Xiao Long, which was the big sister of the team. She wear… rather… "daring" clothes? She also wear her weapon Amber Celica, which are her shotguns gauntlets. The team found the entry to the ruins which seems to go under the ground. Ruby was hopping from the excitement. Blake look at the wall and found something. It was a logo. "XCOM" Blake read out loud. Every girl look confused. "What´s that?" Ruby ask. Blake shrugged her shoulder. Yang enter the first in the ruins. "Girls, you have to see this!" She shout at her teammates. They enter after her and look at the ruins. They seems more like an ultra-modern facilities. They got everything, from energy plants, to laboratories, even workshops. But everything seems broken. Ruby look around her, incapable to hold her excitement. "OHMYGOSH, do you think that this is from the aliens!?" Ruby said with sparkles in her eyes. "Calm down, seriously." Weiss said at her with an annoyed face. Ruby pout and look at a door which caught her attention. It said *Gene Lab.* Ruby look at her friends and head first toward the door. "OHMYGOSH!" They all could heard they leader shouting from the room right next to them. They enter and see a lot of pots with a weird yellow liquid and some computers. Ruby was looking at the pots trying to find an alien in there. But the ones she look were empty. Yang look at the computer and try to press one button. The screen turn on and show her something like a record staff.

Yang look at the Rookies photo. She see a brunette young man with messy-curly hair. He have dark circles under his eyes and a scar in his right cheekbone. Yang thought that he would look very handsome without his dark circles. "He girls, I think I found…" She said as she press the red button with her right arm accidentally. "… Something?" Yang finish. The room suddenly cover with red lights and the pots start to spin. "What did you do THIS time!?" Weiss said as she grab her weapon. Yang was about to answer when one of the pot start to move towards the center of the room. In the pot, they all could see a young man cover by the yellow liquid. The pot open and all the liquid was drain by the floor. Yang look at him, it was the man in the computer, Daniel. Daniel fell on the floor unconsciousness. Team RWBY run to help him. Yang grab his arm and waist, and start to carry him. "What should we do?" Blake ask. "Well, maybe he can tell us more about this place. Plus he need our help, so I think we should help him." Ruby said. Yang nod and look for a place where they could heal him.

"Uugh." The boy said as he start to recover his consciousness, much for the surprise of Team RWBY. "La madre que me…" Daniel said as he rub his face with his right arm. He look at the group of girls in front of him. "¿Que demo…?" He said. "Uh? What did he said?" Ruby ask. Daniel look at the girl in red a little surprise. "You speak Ingles?" Batu ask the girl, who was surprise. "Yeah, you too, I see." Ruby said as she smile at the boy. Daniel nod and look at the facility. "Any of you know what happen here?" Daniel ask at the group. "I was expecting you to tell us." Weiss said remarking the *you*. Daniel look at her. "I don´t know, but there are cameras all around the facility. If we get to Mission Control room we could see what happen." Daniel said as he point at the door in front of them. "I think that´s a good plan." Blake said. Weiss let a *tch* and head to the room. Daniel rub his face again and look at Yang, which was dangerously near him, carrying him. "Thanks, but I think I can walk now." He said at her. Yang help him get in his on foot. "There you go." Yang said as she hit him gently in the back. "Yang!" Ruby shout at her.

"Do you know how to use all this?" Blake ask Daniel as he reach the control room. Daniel look at the Mission Control room. It was damage, but it could be repaired. "Activar IA" Daniel said in Spanish. The whole room´s light and computer turn on. "ID Daniel Shen, 14245." Daniel said again. "Confirmado." The Computer respond. Daniel look at the girls, who seems to be greatly surprised. "Cambiar idioma a Ingles." Batu said once again. "Affirmative." The computer respond, making the girls even more shocked. "Well, I guess you have some question, so go ahead." Daniel said at the girls. Ruby jump right in front of him and look at him. "CANITRIEDTODOIT?,OMYGOD,SOCOOL!" Ruby said, being almost impossible to understand her. "Sure, but tried to be clear." Daniel said. Ruby nod. "Hum. H-hi, my name is Ruby, and I would be very thankfully if you could tell us what happen here." She said to the computer IA. "Please specific a valid date." The IA answer. Ruby was a bit surprise to see the computer answer her. "Yesterday would be fine?" She ask, timidly. "Affirmative, showing recorder video from yesterday at 7:00" The IA answer. The hologlobe start to play the video. It show the XCOM Headquarters normal routine. "If we look at the whole video, it would take us a full day." Weiss said as she look at the hologlobe. Daniel nod. "Computer, show us ten minutes before the electricity went down." Daniel said. The video fast forward and stop were Daniel specificity. The scenery change and show were Daniel was in his pot. They could see how the alarm start to ring and the pots were cover by some kind of iron gate. Then everyone in the room decide to run away. Finally, all the screen went completely white and then shut down.

"It doesn´t said much for to me." Yang said. "Computer, show me all the other cameras in the exacted same time span." Daniel said. All the videos show the same. "What happen?" Ruby ask at Daniel. He just lower his head and shocked it. "I don´t know." He said. "But not everything is lost. I can get most of the XCOM information from here." Daniel said. The team seems enthusiastic about his statement. "Well, aren´t you useful?" Yang said with a smile. Daniel look at her for a moment an then scratch the back of his head. "In fact, we were send here to investigate this place, so if you could tell us what this place use to be, it would be enough." Ruby said. "ALSO, we want to know who are you supposed to be and why the hell you were in the pot." Weiss added to Ruby statement. She was being mean to Daniel, and everyone know it. "A small summary of the XCOM data base and my own record staff then." Daniel said as he start to extract the info. The group watch him extracting all the info with ease. "Ok, I extract all the information I could get using Dr. Shen ID." Daniel said as he copy all the information into Ruby´s scroll. Daniel give it to Ruby. "By the way, my name is Daniel Shen, Dr. Shen is my father." Daniel said. "Thank you, my name is Ruby Rose, the girl right here is Weiss Schnee, the girl with the black clothes is Blake Belladonna…" She said as she point at every girl she was naming. "…and I´m Yang Xiao Long, the big sis´ of Ruby right here." Yang said as she hug Ruby. Daniel nod. "It´s a pleasure." Daniel said, as he head to the facility. Weiss stand right in front of him with her weapon on hand. "You are coming with us." Weiss state as she point her weapon at his neck. "Weiss!" Ruby shout at her. "Yeah, you are being mean with him." Yang said. Blake nod, as she well know just how mean Weiss can be in a beginning. "Well, sorry if I believe that some random dude who we just see coming out of POT, have such a WEIRD technology and could be some weird kind of MUTANT could be dangerous!" She said at the group. Her team were about to say something, but Daniel just step in front of him. "You are right." Daniel said. He got his hand right behind his head and take a submissive stance. Ruby was about to say something, but she just look into another direction. Yang and Blake were angry with Weiss. "If you tried to do something weird, consider yourself dead." Weiss state. Daniel just give her his back and start walking.

In the entry to Beacon Academy:

They arrive at Beacon Academy after sometime. Weiss keep looking at Daniel like a criminal, as she didn´t sheath her weapon until the reach Ozpin´s office. Ruby couldn´t believe her teammate behavior towards her new friend. Blake look a Weiss. She was acting towards Daniel even worse that she do with her. Yang make sure that Daniel have enough water and give him food. "Well young man, I would like to make you some questions, if you don´t mind." Ozpin said. Daniel nod as he let his hand down, just to rise it again when he feel Weiss weapon on his back. Ozpin make Weiss a sign and she sheath her weapon. Daniel finally relax his arms ."First of all, I would like to get some basic information from you." Daniel nod as he see Glynda Goodwitch, Ozpin´s secretariat, taking notes with her scroll. "My name is Daniel Shen, I´m Dr. Shen son. I am 18 old and I was born in Spain, more precisely in the Canary Islands." Daniel said with a calm voice. Obviously, they didn´t know where was that. "They are a set of island in the west side of Africa´s seas." He said again, getting the same reactions. "This confirm my fears: I´m not in my world anymore." Daniel said to himself. "Anyway, I got 2 sister: Nisa and Yurena ." he said as he give a photo to Ozpin. In the photo you can see Daniel sister. Nisa was the youngest with only 8 years. She wear a long white dress and a straw hat which was too big for her. She was a brunette with a long ponytail on her back. Yurena was the oldest sister and she have 20 years. She wear a black t-shirt which didn´t cover her belly button and blue shorts. She was also a brunette and wear a pigtail. They all were in a beach with crystalline water and white sand. Ozpin give the photo back to Daniel.

"I work as a soldier for the project XCOM, section of Rookies. Also I´m part of the Gene´s troops." He said as he point at his XCOM shield, were you could read "Vigilio Confidio" which was the motto of XCOM soldiers. "I guess that pretty much resume mine basic information." Daniel said. Ozpin however, have many questions to him. "Ok, what is this XCOM you were talking?" Ozpin ask as he take a sip of his mug of coffee. "Were I come from, Project XCOM is a large group of soldiers, engineers and scientific whose objective it the protection of any country from any kind of danger. We take care of missions such as the protection of highly ranked VIPs to more smallest task, such as the investigation of contamination of our world and…" Daniel look at all the people in the room. "… we protect the earth from aliens invaders." Daniel state as he cross his arms.

"…"

"What?" Ruby ask with a shocked look on her face. Daniel look at her. "Were I come from, aliens have destroy and conquer many countries and, in respond, our government as chose us as the first and the last line of defense against aliens invasion." Daniel said as he look at Ozpin again. He was… quite shocked with the news. Glynda didn´t believe him and Weiss was about to stab him with her reaper. Daniel drag his hologlobe and place it in the ground. Then, many photos from aliens attacking great cities cover the room. Weiss and Glynda were force to believe him now. "Ok, next question." Ozpin said as he… meditate the next question. "What is a Gene troop?" Daniel rise his eyebrow. He expect that question. "I would explain that, but first you must learn what is *Meld*" Daniel said. Ozpin nod at him. He change the photo from aliens to one photo of a white container.

"Meld is a strange material that Strike-one, one of the many teams in XCOM, find in one of their missions. This material is, in words of the Dr. Vahlen, a prodigy of alien technology. This material is form by billions of nanomachines which possess organic and inorganic components only in his core." Daniel explain as he show the photos of everything he was explaining. Everyone seems fascinated by this *Meld*. "As his name state, this Meld is capable of mix both organic and inorganic material or combine two different types of organic material." Daniel said. "What?" Yang ask. Daniel look at her. "In simple words, soldiers who loses their extremities can use another ones made of inorganic material, such as metal." Daniel said as he play a video in the hologlobe, were you could see a soldier equipped with a MEC-1 Warden, punching a Muton into a car and explode. Everyone in the room were shocked and excited.

"Or the soldiers can *mutate* and gain certain capabilities that many people compare with *superpowers*" Daniel said as he show another video, this time with a sectoid being shoot by an invisible soldier, which make himself visible and jump to a nearby house, jumping almost six meters in the air. "We divide this soldiers into two major groups." Daniel said as he change the hologlobe into two big shields, one with a nuclear skull and another with the earth with the radiative symbol. "The mechanic soldiers are in the *MEC troops*" He said as he point at the skull. You could read "Bellator in machina". "And the mutants soldier are into the *Gene troops*." Daniel said as he point at the other shield, were you could read "Mutare ad custodiam.". Daniel turn off the hologlobe and put it in his pocket. "I´m in the Gene troops." Daniel said as he proceed to activate one of his mutations *Depth perception*, which turn his eyes completely black. Everyone in the room was speechless. He turn his eyes to the normal state and cross his arms.

"Any more questions?" Daniel ask. Nobody was able to said nothing. Daniel scratch his head and let a sigh. "I guess for today is more than enough." He said as he made a bitter smile. "Wait." Ozpin said at the Gene soldier in front of him. "Yes?" Daniel ask. "Do you have a place to sleep?" Ozpin ask once again. "Not nearby, that's for sure. Why you ask?" Daniel said.

Sometime later:

"Ok, why I´m sleeping in this place?" Daniel ask. "Because Ozpin made you stay for today. It´s already late." Ruby answer in her usual pajamas, black tank top with a Beowulf in a heart and long pants with pink roses. "Fine, but why are you here to?" Daniel ask again. "This IS our room after all." Blake answer him. She wear some kind of black yukata. "Fair enough, but why I´m the only one without bed?" Daniel ask once again. "Oh, you want to sleep with any of us in our beds?" Yang said with a devilish smirk. She wear an orange tank top and brown boy shorts. "If I do that I would end up in the jail." Daniel said with a deadpan expression on his face. Yang laugh at his answer.

"I guess I will rest on my emergency sleep bag." Daniel said as he pull out a sleep bag and get into it. *It´s comfy enough to sleep, I guess.* Daniel think. "So, Daniel, what kind of weapons do you have in your world?" Ruby ask with sparkles on her eyes. "I´m afraid that our weapons are plain simple, they can´t transform like yours." Daniel answer. Ruby was a little disappointed. "But thanks to the latest research, all our weapons have an insane power." Daniel said at her. She can only dream with the weapons Daniel describe him. "You bet! I want one of those… MOCs?" Yang said will pumping out her hands. "MECs." Daniel correct her. "Yeah, a MEC!" Yang said. Blake seems to want to ask something to Daniel. "Something wrong, Blake?" Daniel said at her. Blake look at him. "Did you get… any problem from the mutations?" She ask. "Actually thanks to the Meld, I feel like they are just part of me." Daniel answer. "No, I mean, people don´t discriminate you?" Blake ask again. "Oh." Daniel said. "Well yeah, many people consider me an alien ally just for my mutations, that´s for sure." Daniel said. Blake could understands that feel. "But I found friends, like my squad. They accept me like I am." Daniel continue. "If someone start to talk bad about me, they will stand by my side. We aren´t just Gene´s either, we also got MECs and even normal soldiers. We cover each other backs." Daniel said as he rise his hands. "Gene, MECs or normal one, in the end, we are in the same bout and we fight together." Blake can only feel jealously, why couldn´t be humans here be more like him? She smile at him. "You are right." She said. Daniel look at her confused.

"Excuse me? I´m trying to sleep." Weiss said from her bed. She was wearing a faded-bluish sleeping gown with short sleeves and white trimmings. *With that pajama, I wouldn´t have guessed.* Daniel think. "Sorry, you are right, we should go to sleep too." Daniel said at the group. "I don´t want to, I have many questions yet!" Ruby pout. Daniel smile at her reaction. "I don´t think I will go home anytime soon, you can ask me tomorrow." Daniel said. Ruby make him promise that and, after a while, all the team were on their beds. "Good night Weiss, Blake, Yang and Daniel." Ruby said. "Sleep well Ruby, Weiss, Yang and Daniel." Blake said. Yang smile at the scene. "Dream with the angels Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Daniel." Yang said to. Daniel raise an eyebrow. "Shut up, already!" Weiss shout. They all look at her. "FINE, don´t let the bed bugs bite you Ruby, Blake, Yang and the Mutti!" Weiss finally said. "Weiss!" Ruby shout at her, but she fake that she already fall sleep. Daniel start to chuckle. "Never get bored with you, I see." Daniel said as he close his eyes and let the his consciousness fade.

In the new XCOM headquarters:

"How bad is the situation?" Oficial Bradford ask at his troops. "Very bad, sir." A soldier said. "We lost many means and all of our facilities. And…" The soldier stop. "And?" Bradford ask. "The rookie Daniel Shen is currently missing, sir." The soldier finish. Bradford scratch his forehead. "Does Dr. Shen know about this?" He ask. "We inform him this morning, sir. He refuse to get out of the foundry." The soldier finish. Bradford nod and let his man get back to work. He shock is head. "Call Strike-two." Bradford order another official. "Of course, what will I tell them?" Bradford look at him. "Tell them that Daniel is missing, and that they have to find him. ASAP." Brandford say with a seriously face. "Understood, sir" The official say. Bradford look at their hologlobe. "We almost lose you once, soldier. I will not allow you to die a second time." Bradford said to himself.
