A.N: Disclaimer: RWBY and many other shows belong to Rooster teeth and the long-lost Monty Ohm. This does not belong to me. Please read and enjoy.
The name is Red Anderson, named after my father Redold, who was named after my grandfather's nick name Old Red after at the age of twenty acted beyond his years and slaughtered many Nazis in World War 2 covering himself in their blood.
My father was a businessman and I followed in that career, but unlike him I was more successful.
I love doing business up to my first lemonade stand, and studied many subjects about it as well as studying other useful things.
I also did many other jobs from many walks of life from politician to janitor till I was an old man.
Then one day it all changed.
Now never in my life would I think that some washed up scientist's machine malfunctioning would change my life forever.
It opened up a worm hole where along with many chemicals and gadgets fused with me and sent me into another universe.
I arrived on an ally of a city during a thunderstorm, and I seemed to have no cash on me as well as look like I got struck by lightning.
Now I worked at an inn called the Green House as a dishwasher and bar tender.
When I stayed here and worked at times I went to the library to find information and knowledge of this world.
I found out I was in RWBY, a web series I loved as a kid, and using the knowledge I knew about the show and the knowledge I got here I began to hatch a plan to change this world.
I was unhappy about what I noticed and learned about this world and I wanted to change it.
During these few months I noticed that there might be something different about myself, and began to study myself along with my present studies.
During that time I found out I can use the abilities Scan, Observe, and Appraisal which I learned I got from fusing with the gadgets and chemicals in that scientist's lab and it told me everything I wanted, needed and not wanted to know when I scanned them.
I also learned arriving in this world gave me aura and so I unlocked my Aura by paying someone my powers told me was trustworthy.
I noticed I was younger as well and scanning myself found out I was fifteen.
In the inn after paying off my debt I began working there for cash and bought new clothes, and other things thank goodness the owner was very kind and respectable.
I lived in the inn and it was located by the edge of the city of Vale where many mercenaries, bounty hunters and huntsmen go after a job.
Where most of the law didn't seem to apply and many lawless things happened.
There at the inn's bar I spoke and listened as well as befriended many people using what I heard and my powers to gather information.
There I met Qrow Branwen where he was already Ozpin's agent and befriended him.
He was the first character of the series I met and it was fun meeting him and getting to know him.
He bragged about his life and missions once we became best friends and I that's when I learned his niece Ruby Rose was only recently born.
I only told him small things about myself and nothing about me being from another dimension, and any other big secrets.
We have kept in touch just like my other friends I made here.
Now after Qrow I knew where I was on the timeline and I began to plan my business plans and my true plans.
It all begins with the tall, lean mysterious man with tanned skin, long black hair tied to a pony tail, who had a serious uncaring face and hazel eyes.
He wore pants and a business shirt he was a man in his twenties I befriended months ago Blue Thomson.
- Blue POV -
The name is Blue Thomson and I first met Red Anderson a month ago wearing a torn and a little burnt suit that was too big for him, when he arrived at my favorite bar and inn the Green House.
He looked like he was struck by lightning and survived, which isn't that impressive where I was born and raised.
There things like that happened often, but I could tell it was more than that when I observed him.
I am a mercenary born and raised In the criminal underworld and there people didn't even care about becoming a huntsman only surviving to the next minute.
There were no rules and no order, and the weak, the unlucky and the stupid died by the second.
There I surpassed them all in combat ability and studied like crazy mentally.
Now that I left, and I don't ever want to go back to that pointless life of surviving by the minute.
There I left because I was already the strongest and nothing they did could give me the thrill of life and death I use to feel.
Now I work as a mercenary for hire traveling everywhere looking for my purpose in life and that thrill I once had.
Now back to Red he began working as a dish washer and bartender who surprisingly listens and befriends us.
He was tall for his age, but not as tall as me, he had short brunette hair, Caucasian skin, smart green eyes, and has a nice yet cunning face.
He wore blue jeans and a white shirt which he puts an apron on at times, but at the bar he wore a suit.
He gives me this feeling like around him something is going to happen, and I find that exciting so I keep an eye on him just in case.
He always seems to be looking for knowledge and information seeing him go to the library and always listening in on everything which no one seems to notice.
Still I see the results of him looking for information, he seemed to know more than he should, he even befriended and found knowledge in the most conservative huntsmen and people.
When Qrow left that was when he all of a sudden approached me, and asked," hey Blue can I speak to you over there."
He pointed at the bar stand as he was off work, and the place was empty as well as there was only the two of us here.
I was here since the owner asked me for a solid as he had a date today and now Red and myself since we've met we became really good friends.
I wasn't doing anything at the moment so I went over there knowing he couldn't and wouldn't do anything to harm me, knowing I was far stronger than him and for some reason he knows I have seen every sneaky move ever.
I can tell when people are up to something no good and when people are lying, I can see it in their aura and in their body language as well as their face, it was easy.
Still I know Red was not like that and I could see he was up to something, but it wasn't bad at all.
We sat down and I looked him in the eyes and asked," what is it you want Red?"
He looked at me in the eyes right back and told me," I have a business proposition for you."
I did not expect those words to come out of his mouth, so after the mini surprise I asked," what is it you want me for."
He then smiled and told me," I want you to be my business partner, and no I don't mean in the mercenary business.
You look confused so let me ask you, what is the most important human necessity that ever person needs to survive?"
I was confused why he asked that, but I started thinking about it anyway.
There was money, dust, each other, and many more factors, but I couldn't decide, so I told him," I don't know there are too many factors?"
He then told me," think about it, humanity has lived before their discovery of dust, so no to that, we can't buy one another it's illegal and won't make the most money, we want to keep our money to ourselves and the business so no to that as well.
That only leaves us with food and water, and even though we here at Vale can get it for cheap, places like Vacuo, who unlike Atlas don't have great shipping and are charged with high prices for food and water.
Then there is Menagerie who sellers, companies, merchants, and more discriminate against and sell them as high as Vacuo either because of racism or because of dangerous ocean to traverse.
Now that is exactly twenty-five percent of the world untapped because of either racism or idiotic unplanned routes, which I fixed using different kinds of maps and books about environment."
I was speechless and surprised at what he just said and I asked him," then how are we going to make this happen?"
He then smiled and explained to me saying," I'm glad you asked, there are plenty of farmers all over Remnant that have valuable vegetables and meat that they think is useless, but are high quality of used correctly, like bacon, potatoes, soy, and much more.
They usually keep it for themselves or sell it for cheap and sometimes just throw it away wasting it.
Now you look doubtful come to my room tomorrow and I'll show you why I'm right, that is if you agree."
He was really keen on keeping this a secret so I thought about it carefully and asked him with a serious tone," if this idea of yours is legit how are you going to launch this and ship the product to the people?"
He then told me confidently," first thing we need is to impress this guy I know to fund us who is very trustworthy who has money but isn't too rich, but most people like him are conservative and careful, but they are still competitive like every other businessman.
Now we have to really impress him and I already have a plan I want to keep to myself unless you agree.
Now for shipping we will have to convince not only farmers and ranchers, but hunters, gatherers, and ship owners as well and with my skill and your abilities and our experiences together this will be easy.
I agreed about that explanation so I needed a target so I then asked him," who would ship our stuff then," duh the only people who are desperate for work, Faunus, and those who are poor, but are hard workers and trustworthy we can make a deal with, after the first shipment.
Now if we find any ones like that who are smart, skilled, or talented that is amazing luck.
I then thought about it and looked him in the eyes and told him," fine I'm in, but tomorrow when I come over you have some questions I was to answer honestly, and if I don't like anything or feel like you're going to screw me I can leave at any time.
I got to know you Red and I admit this last year we became friends, and if you screw me over now it will be a shame to end you."
I used my aura to send pressure and killing intent at enough force to tell him I meant business with him.
He then looked at me with no fear and told me," no duh, isn't that obvious?"
I was speechless at this guy and how unbelievably brace he is, now let us see what kind of man he truly is.
- Next Day -
- 3rd Person POV -
Blue arrived at Red's room knocked and from there Red told him to enter.
Blue entered and saw Red was sitting there waiting by a window side table with breakfast prepared for two people on it.
Blue sat down and saw food he never seen in his life, but then Blue saw that Red wasn't up to anything bad, so he began eating.
Blue tasted it and began eating it like there was no tomorrow after he tasted how delicious it was.
Blue then looked at the smiling Red who was observing him and he asked Red curiously with a smile on his face," how did this all taste so good?"
Red then explained to him how he cooked the meal and both discussed how and why he did some things and at the end of it Blue was speechless and now saw how brilliant Red was and how he now believed in Red's plan.
Blue then asked him in curiosity," how do you know all these things?"
Red then sighed making Blue even more interested in the topic as Red told him," I guess I can tell one person in this world about it.
It isn't safe bottle things up and it isn't right to keep secrets from friends that I want to work with.
Red explained how he was not from here and how he got there as well as how he de aged and given power thanks to the chemicals and gadgets from the lab fusing with him as he traveled through the worm hole.
He then proved it and showed his power to Blue who was not believing a word he said, because of how crazy he sounded.
Blue was speechless at first he thought Red was Kidding around even though his senses said he wasn't and once Red showed proof Blue felt it the thrill he once had.
Red was Special and will lead him to a new purpose and will follow him no matter what, still he had to know one thing.
Blue nodded to himself and looked at Red in serious curiosity and then asked," why did you choose me, out of all the people in the Inn, why me?"
Red then had a look of disbelief thinking Blue already knew why or has figured it out already so Red was shocked that he didn't know so he told him," Blue my scan, observe, and analyze can tell me the type of person people are and what they stand for, so I know you like every one else in the world.
My Scan has no limit and my appraisal is all-knowing and has specks that help me find what I'm looking for.
I know I wanted you because I have scanned the world in an instant and used my appraisal to search for what I'm looking for, and after finding you, I realized Blue you are perfect.
You are trustworthy person , honest with yourself, and the you sir are the strongest being on this planet.
Blue then nodded in understanding as Red spoke feeling embarrassed as Red complimented him.
Then he heard the last part and instantly he interrupted him and said," hold on there, What?
How can I be the strongest being in the world, there should someone or something out there stronger, I'm just a mercenary, compared to others how can that be?"
Red smiled at Blue's modesty and told him," Blue I checked the world so remember your life, because I have seen your past, and the people I scanned at where you lived and compared them to the rest of the world.
I saw all the power levels of everyone in the world and you sir are the strongest in this world.
Blue then remembered his life the training, the battles, the survival and remembered no one seemed to be able match him after he left the underworld and how he thought he had only fought weaklings so far.
Blue then began to ask other questions to see if he really was the strongest.
That's when Red brought out files he 'borrowed' from the council's files and that's when Blue saw the people he had fought and was completely speechless of who they were and their greatness as well as their accomplishments in combat and other aspects.
Then he remembered how he beat those foes with ease.
He couldn't believe it he was really the strongest in the world and he didn't even realize it.
He was in complete shock as the room turned silent as Red tried to comfort his friend."
Now after Blue snapped out of it Red then told him," okay now that's over we are now moving on we have a meeting with the man I spoke of yesterday tomorrow morning at 9 am.
We have to impress him, so let us begin.
Blue smiled as he knew with Red he was happy and would not get bored anytime soon and that day their partnership began.
Little did they know this was the beginning of a great adventure.
- A few weeks later -
After getting the money and making the deals needed Red and Blue were about to leave and ship their products when all of a sudden they bumped into a girl in a cloak who was running away for some reason.
Red saw her choker and realized she was a slave to someone.
Which was very illegal here in Vale, that's when they saw what she was fleeing from as many brutish men chased her pursuing her in full sprint.
Blue knowing Red long enough followed behind Red as he knew what Red wanted to do, which was follow them and save that person.
Blue saw the collar as well and agreed to this decision completely.
They followed the brutes and ended up in an ally as they saw the girl on the ground as she was surrounded by the brutes.
She was very scared as they saw the men laughing in cruel glee with sadistic yet lustful faces.
That was when all of a sudden each were knocked unconscious as Red and Blue went and knocked the men out as they went through each of them at unbelievable speeds.
She looked up in fear not seeing the brutes faces anymore, as Red asked her in worry, while he offered her a hand," miss are you okay, my name is Red Anderson and this is my friend and colleague Blue Thomson, what is your name?"
She took off her cloak showing them her extra pair of ears, she was a rabbit Faunus.
She had short brown hair, even her bunny ears were brown, she was short, but looked in between Red and Blue's age.
She had white tanned skin, kind brown eyes, with a kind yet worried face.
She wore torn rags for clothes under her cloak as well as an expensive looking choker.
She smiled and then took the hand Red offered her and stood up saying shyly," I am Scarlet Scarlatina, it's very nice to meet you."
After she got up Red and Blue looked at each of the men to look for clues to see who the brutes worked for.
They were clean, so Red scanned them all and Red told Blue," these guys work for a man named, Nathan Hobert, do you know anything about him?"
Blue answered sighing," he's a family of one of the councilmen in Vale, no wonder he can get away with this shit."
Red then smiled and told him," then why don't we deal with this garbage to society."
Blue looked at him like he was crazy," How are we going to do that?
His place is highly guarded and if he detects us it will call every guard in the mansion and contact the police immediately."
Red then smiled at him and told him," I have a plan, so come here."
When Red was about to whisper his plan to Blue Scarlet told them," umm... excuse me, please don't do this you'll get hurt and I can't allow my saviors to get themselves killed for my sake."
That's when Blue and Red looked at her in silence, and then after a minute burst out laughing."
Scarlet stared at them in confusion, but before she could say anything Red spoke saying," Miss people might not know it, but Blue here is very strong, no guardsmen or police can hurt him, and myself I am trained at this art so nothing bad will happen to us.
Now the last part, yes we might be doing this for you, but it's not all about you, we're doing this to free the other slaves and do what we believe is right."
Scarlet was speechless at the men as Blue nodded smirking to show how much he agreed with Red.
Then Red told her," now we'll need your help for this so come here and listen to the plan.
- Later -
Huge gates opened as two men in black suits and sunglasses carried Scarlet inside as the larger fellow carried her over his shoulder as she was tied up like a hostage.
The smaller man walked in confidently in front of the bigger man bragging how they were going to get paid big time for this job.
They entered the building after getting past the front door security.
They were led to Nathan Hobert's office.
There they saw a short, ugly and very overweight man who was stuffed in a suit with short gelled hair and blue disgusting eyes sitting behind a desk.
They dropped Scarlet to the floor and Nathan told them," thank you gentlemen, now here is the reward for returning to me my new pet."
The bigger man asked," so... bunny girl go bye-bye, but me want pet too..."
Then the smaller man said," sorry boss, he ain't too smart, and Jumbo stop talking, now that we got the money we can buy our own bunny, a whole lot of them.
Now sir how did you afford a beauty like that eh?"
Nathan then told the two," come on why would I tell you to imbeciles that information.
What would happen to me if people found out?"
Then Jumbo said," yeah Skinny, what would happen?"
Skinny the looked at Jumbo and said," shut up dummy, do you want a bunny or not?!
Come on sir, tell us, people believe all my stories are fibs anyway, them thinking I'm some kind of conman and him, he's a moron."
Still Nathan wouldn't budge, so Skinny just kept trying to convince him, and started to compliment him.
It worked as Nathan got cocky and told him everything how he bankrupted Scarlet's parents on purpose to get Scarlet's amazing singing voice.
Then he showed them her key to her choker after Skinny kept asking him hidden questions in his praises with Jumbo asking some as well, but not so obviously hidden.
It then transformed into Nathan bragging about himself and what he owned and other things he had done.
During that time Skinny and Jumbo clapped and cheered for him.
After he finished talking Skinny then told Nathan," it was nice listening to you sir, now let me get my brief case for all this money.
Skinny then took out a briefcase, and pushed a button, Nathan thought it was the opening button, but instead it shot out a bullet shooting Nathan's head off.
That's when the alarms rang and Skinny and Jumbo glowed and were replaced by Red and Blue.
Red was skinny and Blue was Jumbo, while Scarlet on the floor supposedly unconscious was just a look-alike stuffed doll.
Blue then told Red," wow, that device you have that can disguise us and the acting was pretty useful."
Red then sensed over a hundred guards and machines begin to come to the room they were in.
Red then told Blue," Blue I know you can sense them as well, take care of them, as I do what is needed."
Blue charged out the door for battle as Red tapes his record under the table and a DVD along with it carrying proof of Nathan's crimes.
He then takes all the money as he went out of the room as well destroying all evidence they were there and freed the other people there who were secretly enslaved.
Once he finished he hired all the slaves there and took all of Nathan's valuables and put it in his pocket dimension inventory he got from the lab.
Then once he left he saw Blue waiting for him surrounded by the piled unconscious bodies of all the guards and what's left of the machines.
Red then left with Blue as all the earlier enslaved people who were just hired by him went inside the storage dimension inventory.
They left the place and came back to the inn where Scarlet was waiting for them in Red's room reading a book with her choker off and wearing normal clothes.
She looked at the two and smiled as both smiled as well back at her giving her a double thumbs up each as all were happily silent at that moment.
