Son of Babylon
AN/ yep another new story.
Chapter 1
Gilgamesh stared at Saber as she laid against the broken stairs on the second floor of the auditorium. She had a sword embedded in her left leg as she laid, blood dripping down the side of her face. In her right leg was also an axe lodged deep within her thigh. Behind Gilgamesh floated multiple portals from his Noble Phantasm all protruding weapons. Saber laid glaring down Gilgamesh, her eyes burning with anger as she did. Only as Gilgamesh waited to attack her again her face shifted to that of surprise as she stared off behind him. Gilgamesh smiled as he watched her remove the sword from her left leg as she stood.
"Then you have finally made your decision."
Gilgamesh said only for a voice to speak up from behind him.
"In the name of Kiritsugu Emiya, I order you with my command seal..." Gilgamesh chose to pay the words no mind as he watched Saber closely as he stared into her determined eyes. "Saber, use your Noble Phantasm... to destroy the Grail."
Gilgamesh's eyes widened in shock as did Saber's as her Noble Phantasm revealed itself before them.
"Impossible... What are you doing Saber!?"
Gilgamesh shouted as Saber shouted out in defiance of activating her Noble Phantasm.
"By my third Command seal I order you again..."
The master behind Gilgamesh spoke again as Saber tried to resist the command seal.
"Why, Kiritsugu? You, of all people... Why?!"
Saber shouted out in shock. Gilgamesh turned around glaring at the man who dared order Saber to use her Noble phantasm.
"Curse you... You dare interrupt my wedding ceremony, mongrel?!"
Gilgamesh shouted at the man as he turned around aiming his Gate of Babylon at the man.
"Saber destroy..." The man spoke as Saber shouted at him to stop. "The Grail."
The man ordered as Saber brought her sword down releasing her Noble Phantasm upon the Grail that floated above Gilgamesh. The light from the Noble Phantasm being released was blinding as Gilgamesh shielded his eyes from the light. In but moments, the light engulfed everything around him as he shielded his eyes waiting for the light to fade. The force of the blast sent out torrents of rubble and wind at him as he was sent flying back into the wall behind him. When he opened his eyes, he was met with the sight of a giant black portal in the sky. Gilgamesh had no idea what the black portal was but he had no intentions of being near it from the dark energy he felt coming off it. He stood quickly as he watched some sort of black tar start to spill out of the portal falling straight towards him. He cursed as he raised his hand throwing it to the side as he sent out one of Enkidu's chains and pulled himself away from the tar. Only as he did his chains were pulled upwards towards the portal. Gilgamesh had no idea what was happening but all he could feel was himself get sucked up through the sky towards the portal as he was met with darkness.

Gilgamesh's eyes shot open in shock as he looked around to find himself laying in a forest. He shot to his feet looking around to find himself within a crater as he looked around before staring into the sky as he saw the portal he had been pulled into. 'Where the hell am I?' He thought in confusion as he saw behind the portal in the sky where a shattered moon stood. Gilgamesh looked around in confusion and anger. 'What is this madness, did that worthless Grail send me here?!' Gilgamesh thought angrily before he heard the screaming off past the trees before him as he turned to see smoke rising into the sky. He raised a brow at this as he cursed in disgusted at the situation he found himself in. He wished he could ring the neck of that man who forced Saber to release her Noble Phantasm on the grail leading him to this strange place. He figured he would find answers if he went towards the sound of screams to see what was happening. As he walked through the trees coming to the sight of a burning village.
Gilgamesh raised a brow at the scene that played out as he saw a man with blonde hair fighting off large wolf like beasts with white bone masks that are covered in red markings. The beasts were surprisingly large and were bipedal as they slashed out at the man trying to claw his head off. Gilgamesh watched as the blonde man rolled under the slashes coming up behind the beast slashing across its back bisecting the beast from hip to shoulder. The man spun on his heels ducking as he slid his left foot forward lunging as he stabbed out into the beast's chest killing it. The man quickly threw the second beast towards a third beast as it charged towards the man. Gilgamesh would applaud the man if it wasn't just mindless beasts he was killing. 'Ha, foolish mongrel, actually fighting stupid monsters.' Gilgamesh thought as he turned to leave only to stop as he heard the man scream out. Gilgamesh gave a sideward glance to the man as some sort of beast bit into his shoulder from behind.
Gilgamesh shook his head in distaste at the scene as he turned walking towards the beasts, casting a portal from the Gate of Babylon killing the remaining beasts with ease. He walked towards the now fallen blonde man as he went to look around at him. 'I might just leave those blades now that they have touched these filthy creatures.' Gilgamesh thought angrily before sighing as he retrieved his weapons as they faded into nothing returning to the Gate just as the strange beasts faded into black smoke. 'No reason to lose a useful tool just yet.' Gilgamesh thought as he looked at the blonde man on the ground.
"What would make you fight those silly little beasts, you foolish mongrel?" Gilgamesh said as he turned to leave the dead man only to stop as he reached out grabbing his leg. Gilgamesh glared at the man as he kicked the offending appendage away. "You cur, how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!"
Gilgamesh shouted at the man as he glared at him only as the man just stared up at him eyes blank almost like he wasn't looking at him.
"M-my s-son."
The man wheezed out pointing off towards a tree with a split down the center something white and gold inside it. The tree had claw marks running up it as if the beasts had been trying to rip it open. Gilgamesh looked back down to the blonde man only to see he had died. 'Foolish man.' Gilgamesh thought as he looked at the man's sword wondering what value such an old blade would be. He knew it was not one of the Phantasm's stored in the Gate of Babylon as he knelt picking up the sword as he looked it over. 'Has a good weight, must have served this man well. If only the mongrel was a better fighter.' Gilgamesh thought as he figured there would be no reason to leave the sword be as he cast it into the Gate of Babylon as he went to walk off towards the tree. As he came up to the tree he could see that a shield was lodged into the break of the tree. He walked up kneeling as he looked over the shield surprised it was even able to fit into the tree. Gilgamesh wondered how the shield was even stuffed into the tree as he reached out sliding his hand across the shields face as his hand came up across the top of the shields lip where he heard a click and the shield collapsed into a sheath.
'Well that is certainly interesting, this must belong with the sword, now this weapon is useful and unique.' Gilgamesh thought as he took the shield into the Gate storing it with the sword he had found. As he did this he saw a young boy around the age of 6 unconscious in the tree, a small cut on his head and some blood. 'So this was the man's son. Poor mongrel, he is all alone in this world now.' Gilgamesh thought as he looked back to the boy's dead father raising a brow before turning back to the boy.
"You may be of use to me."
Gilgamesh said as he picked the boy up tucking him under his arm carrying him like he was just a bag and continued. 'Even if he is a child he should be able to tell me of this world.' Gilgamesh thought as he continued to walk away with the boy.
12 years later
An airship slowly landed at Beacon Academy docking before the school as a swarm of new arrivals all came rushing out looking over everything in awe. Among the arrivals was a blonde boy, wearing a black dress shirt with a black short waist length coat with a hood that was left open with a red interior. He had a pair of black jeans with gold assets on his waist with red cloth hanging from the hip. He had golden plated leggings that covered his boots and a chain hanging from his right hip. The blonde had a bored expression as he looked over Beacon raising a brow at all the others who stared in amazement. 'They act like they have never seen a castle before.' The blonde thought as he began to walk away, putting his hands in his pockets as he didn't care to interact with the other people. As he walked though he got to a statue at the front of the school's gate when he heard and explosion as he turned around to see the sight of a girl in red getting yelled out by a girl in white.
'Fools already at each other's throats and they haven't even been here for more than a few minutes.' The blonde thought as he turned away not caring about the situation as he began to walk getting past the statue before closing his eyes and letting out a tired sigh. 'Damn my conscience.' The blonde thought as he turned around and began to walk back to where he saw the two girls only to see the girl in red laid out on the ground. He walked up to her staring down with a brow raised questionably.
"I doubt rolling on the ground will let you become one with it."
The blonde quipped with a small smile as the girl's eyes opened in surprise as she looked up to him. The girl shot to her feet in a flash with rose petals as she dusted herself off before coughing into her hand.
"I wasn't trying to become one with the ground."
The girl said with a slight blush to her cheeks as the blonde just hmphed at her as he looked her over.
"Could have fooled me." He said as the girl blushed a little more embarrassed by what just happened as the blonde just shook his head and turned away from her. "Well I guess I am not needed here goodbye."
The blonde said as he went to leave only for the girl in red to stop him.
"W-wait, I am Ruby, who are you?"
The girl asked as the blonde looked over his shoulder at her.
"Jaune, my name is Jaune."
He said waving offhanded at her as he turned and began to leave.
"Thank you for checking on me Jaune."
Ruby said as he walked away not looking back at her as he continued through the academy's grounds.

Jaune walked slowly not looking for anywhere to go just walking around in boredom as he looked over the Academy. As he walked though he passed a glance behind him as he saw Ruby slowly falling as she let out a small yelp as she made eye contact with him. She held her hands up as she started to look around as if to find somewhere to hide. Jaune just raised a brow at her as he turned around crossing his arms over his chest.
"What's wrong, why are you following me?"
Jaune asked cocking a brow up as Ruby just chuckled nervously pushing her index fingers together as she looked at the ground.
"Well, I don't know where I am supposed to go and you are the only person who really talked to me."
Ruby said as Jaune raised his brow even higher.
"Were you not talking with a girl in white?"
Jaune asked pointing at Ruby who flinched some as she chuckled nervously again.
"Well no she was more yelling at me, what I meant was you were nice to me coming to check if I was ok after the explosion."
Ruby said as Jaune stared at her confused.
"That's it?" Jaune asked as Ruby just shrugged as he shook his head at her. "You are a strong little girl. Tell me why is someone so young attending an academy like this?"
Jaune asked as Ruby squirmed under his stare as she started drawing circles on the ground with the tip of one of her feet.
"Well you see, I ended up getting moved ahead two years and now I am here at Beacon."
Ruby said as Jaune just stared at her with a questioning stare that obviously said he didn't believe her. Ruby seemed to shrink under his stare before he sighed and turned to walk away.
"Well then what sort of skill do you have that would warrant this year skip of yours?"
Jaune asked waiting for Ruby to walk up beside him. She stared for a second as he looked over his shoulder at her waiting for her to explain. She smiled at him as she quickly hopped over to his left as he began to walk. She went on to explain taking on some sort of criminal at a dust shop and how she met Ozpin, the Headmaster of Beacon, and how he offered to let her attend his school. Jaune didn't say anything throughout her story as they walked as he just thought about how odd she was for doing something like that. He understood attacking a criminal to punish him for wronging you but simply to do it because he was a criminal seemed odd to Jaune. Criminals should be punished but not by a little girl. 'Such a strange little child.' Jaune thought as she finished her tale.
"… And then when I got to Beacon my sister ended up abandoning me and you know the rest with the explosion and all."
Ruby said as Jaune just walked on not saying anything. As he walked Ruby seemed to get nervous as she looked at him to say something only for him to stay quiet. She did a small skip as she jumped ahead of Jaune as she reached behind her as she grabbed a red metal rectangle behind her.
"So I have this thing."
Ruby said pulled the rectangle out as it shifted and turned into a giant scythe. Jaune just stared at it before looking back to Ruby.
"An oversized gardening tool."
Jaune said flatly as Ruby smiled nervously as she pulled the weapon before her chest pulling a slide back.
"Um, it's also a high impact sniper rifle."
Ruby said with a small chuckle as Jaune just raised a brow at her before shrugging.
"Everyone has some interesting weapon choices don't they." Jaune said as he saw Ruby wilt a little. "Don't take that as an insult, I actually think it's a unique weapon, if you are able to use it in combat so well you are able to enter this academy then it must work for you."
Jaune said as Ruby smiled a little at him.
"Yeah it does my uncle taught me, so what sort of weapon do you have?"
Ruby asked as Jaune just smiled at her as he turned away and began walking. Ruby just stared at him as she collapsed her scythe as she quickly chased after him.
"Hey Jaune."
Ruby said as Jaune continued to walk as she tried to get him to tell her what weapon he had.
"Who knows, you might learn someday."
Jaune said as Ruby just pouted as she followed him.

Jaune and Ruby walked into the auditorium slowly as they stared at a huge crowd around them. It was a sea of faces and colors. 'No wonder Father says this world is unique.' Jaune thought as he heard someone shouting Ruby's name as he looked to see a blonde girl waving her hand furiously in the air at Ruby who just waved back.
"Oh, that's my sister I'll see you later Jaune."
Ruby said as she quickly ran off towards her sister as Jaune simply shrugged and walked off towards the far end of the auditorium leaning back against the wall as he did waiting for this little get together to be over. It took only a minute for the headmaster and the vice headmistress to come out and begin the welcoming speech. Jaune listened half-heartedly only picking up every other word as the headmaster spoke not finding anything important in the man's words. Although when he heard the headmaster say he saw wasted effort in them he grits his teeth as he glared up to the man. 'Stupid mongrel, he must be blind to think we all are wasting ourselves, does he not see the greatness that I am imbued with!?' Jaune thought angrily before taking a deep breath to calm himself. 'No I am not like father; I shouldn't think like that.' Jaune looked back up to the stage again as he seemed to notice the headmaster was now looking straight at him as he raised a brow questionably.
He hoped he hadn't let his hate over take him to the point of letting the man feel it. He cursed himself for letting something so simple as words get to him as he waited for the speech to end when the headmistress announced they would be staying in the ballroom. 'Great, so I must spend the night mingling with all these fools.' Jaune thought bitterly before resigning himself to it as he figured he would go off to get a meal to end his day.

Jaune walked back into the ballroom ready to call it a day as he stretched his arms over his head. Jaune walked out of the locker room into the ballroom stepping past people carefully. Jaune walked shirtless through the ballroom heading towards the far end of the room away from all the people. Across his chest he had red tattoo's running up the left and right side of his stomach and chest with two lines making a red x of his right bicep. As he did though he heard a few wolf whistles from his left as he looked towards the girl side of the ballroom as they all waved at him. Jaune didn't pay the girls mind as he simply turned away from them and continued to walk on. As he did though someone shouted out his name as he saw Ruby and the blonde girl she called her sister earlier that day walking up towards him. He just looked away from them as he continued to walk on towards the end of the room not wanting to talk with her only for her to flash in front of him with a small gust of rose petals.
Jaune raised a brow at her in questioning as he looked her over. 'What is wrong with this girl.' Jaune thought as he wondered if his actions didn't show her that he didn't want to talk to her.
"Hey Jaune."
Ruby greeted as he crossed his arms over his chest as he frowned at her.
"Evening Ruby, care to explain what you want?"
Jaune asked as Ruby just chuckled at him as her sister ran up beside Ruby smiling at him. Ruby smiled at her sister as she put her hands up as if presenting her to him.
"Oh, this is my sister Yang, Yang this is Jaune he's the one who helped me earlier today."
Ruby said to her sister who just smiled at Jaune crossing her arms over her chest pushing up her breast.
"Sup handsome, that's for looking after Rube's here it means a lot."
Yang said as Jaune just raised a brow at her.
"I wasn't looking after her, she just followed me around like a lost puppy." Jaune said flatly as Ruby wilted as Yang just stared in shock before glaring at him opening her mouth to shout at him only stopping as Jaune raised his hand. "But your welcome, you are a good sister to let your sister learn on her own over coddling her."
Jaune said as Yang's eyes widened before the tiniest smile formed on her lips as Ruby just looked at him questioning.
"You're a strange one."
Yang said as Jaune just raised a brow at her.
"If that is all you wanted to say to me may I go?"
Jaune asked as he went to move away from the girls only for Ruby to step in from of him again.
"Why don't you talk with us for a little, I mean we don't need to sleep yet we could spend this time to get to know each other."
Ruby said as Jaune just pat her on the head walking past her.
"No, thanks for the offer but I want to sleep." Jaune said walking past Ruby and her sister leaving them be as Ruby just stood her head lowered a little as Yang rubbed her back. Jaune just paused for a second looking back at Ruby. "Thank you really, that was a nice offer."
Jaune said as he continued towards the end of the room to sleep as he saw Ruby perk up a little as she and her sister went off to go and talk with some girl with a black bow on her head. 'Strange girls aren't they.' Jaune thought as he laid down to get to sleep.
