Guardian of the ocean.

"Person or creature thinking."
Author note: Hey guys! I have played Bioshock 2 a lot lately and I realized that the suits in the game are very gothic and dark. I wondered could I put these suits and some of the powers in the world RWBY. I pondered it a little and I said 'yes'. This is not a crossover with Bioshock but it will have some of the concepts and art. May you like the story and if it is well received, I will continue it.
I do not own Bioshock or RWBY. They are properties of 2K games and Roosterteeth. Please enjoy the story. Ja'ne!
Summary: Many people look toward the ocean with great awe and fear. They look at it with wandering eyes and try to explore its depths. But what would happen if something was watching them? Something with one large red-eye. Watch out Remnant, Big brother is pissed.
Chp 1: The stories and the recruitment.
Dark clouds dance across the skies with ferocity. A lone fishing boat is seen pushing against the waves. Standing at the stern of the boat is a man wearing a yellow rain coat with a cup of coffee in his hand. Behind him is a shivering female figure with blonde locks. The woman walks up to the man and begins to speak.
"Ozpin! What are we doing out here?" The woman asks while screaming against the wind.
The now identified Ozpin looks at her and takes a sip of his coffee. He reaches in his coat and pulls out a scroll
"Many of the fisher men in this area have reported sightings of some type of Grimm." He says while fiddling at the scroll.
Glynda raises an eyebrow at this. Coming all the way out here for a Grimm sighting? That was ridiculous.
"So?"
Ozpin pushes his glasses up his nose and hands her the scroll. She grabs it and sees a video playing.
"This video was taken by a diver while he was looking for fish." Ozpin says before walking toward the edge of the boat.
Glynda looks at the video and only sees the clear water and jagged rocks. She hears the diver scream in his mask and the camera goes out of control. It shakes up and down for a minute before stopping. It floats in the water and Glynda gasps. There in the water was some humanoid figure with one large glowing red-eye. A large needle is attached to its arm and it looks almost to be twitching every so often. The video cuts out before she could look at it more.
She glances at Ozpin and walks up to him. She hands his scroll back and asks.
"Okay, there might be some type of humanoid Grimm in the ocean but new species are being discovered each day."
Ozpin smirks a little before handing her the scroll again. She glares at him and looks down. She nearly drops in shock. On the screen is an aura gauge. The entire screen is covered in it. That one large red-eye is at the top left corner glaring at her. She starts to mumble and tries to refresh the page. The same thing happens over and over. She shoves the scroll back to Ozpin and says.
"Explain...Now..."
Ozpin glances at her before putting his scroll away.
"A few days ago another diver was looking for dust pockets in the rocks. But from what he said the entire gauge was going crazy. He thought it was glitch and still searched. He started to tinker with it and noticed that it was on the 'aura' mode. From what he said, he began to panic and swim back up. But he was caught and knocked out by the being. The strange thing is that all the divers that have seen it, have woken up on a beach with no recollection of what happened. They only had their cameras and suits." Ozpin says without missing a beat.
Glynda is speechless. A being that had enough aura to make a scanner frizz out, is nothing short of outstanding. She looked at the water with new fear.
She begins to speak with Ozpin. Before she could speak a fisher walks up to them. The rain is picking up and the waves are getting larger. The man walks up to Ozpin and whispers something in his ear. Ozpins eyes get a shine to them. He turns around and follows the fisher. Glynda stares at them before following. They walk to where the fish are brought up. (What is that thing called?) Ozpin walks toward the captain as he barks orders at the others. Ozpin stands next to him and sips his coffee.
"Is this it?" Ozpin asks with a glance to the captain.
The captain nods his head and says.
"Aye. This is the place."
"Will the being come?" Ozpin asks with a raised brow.
The captain glares a little at Ozpin and says.
"It comes up when we try to fish here. It never hurts us but we do lose the catch."
Ozpin frowns before walking toward the end of the boat. He starts looking at the churning water with a keen eye. He catches the glimpse of a dark figure under the water. He smirks and backs up a little. A large gush of water is catapulted out of the ocean. It towers the boat and they can all stare in awe at it. A dark figure is seen in the water and a large red-eye blinks into existence. The fishers nearly scream as the boat lurches from an extra weight to it. Standing in front of Ozpin with its needle pointed at his head is the being.
It stands above Ozpin at a height of 6'10. A large round head with various dents and scratches stare at Ozpin with two potholes glowing a baleful red. Its shoulders are covered in smooth metal plating covered in barnacles. Its body seems lithe and small and is covered in a leathery substance but it has a hint of muscle to it. On its hands seem to be holding places for the large 4 foot long needles. Its legs are bending inward just in case of an attack. Large boots that could crush a Bourbatusk head adorn its human like feet. The strange part is the large tank on its back. It covers most of its back and seems to give the being oxygen or something. A medium sized basket made of scrap metal is covered with seaweed. The being stinks of salt water and is making small growls and screeches at Ozpin.
Ozpin stares at the being with a small glint in his eyes. Glynda takes out her wand and points it at the being. It notices her and raises its other hand toward her. Ozpin signals her to put it down and she tries to protest. He glares at her and she flinches. She puts it down but not the being. Its stare is still directed toward Ozpin. Ozpin clears his voice before speaking.
"Hello my dear fellow. I would like to ask you a question?"
The being pushes it needle closer but tilts its head slightly. Ozpin takes this as a chance to speak.
"My name is Ozpin and my companion is Glynda Goodwitch." He motions to Glynda and the being glances at her. She feels uncomfortable with its gaze.
"I am the headmaster of Beacon Academy. A prestigious school that teaches young students to hunt the Grimm. And I would like to invite you to join." Ozpin says with a small bead of sweat coming down his face.
Glynda stares in shock toward Ozpin. He wants that thing to enter Beacon Academy. It would kill the students. She starts to protest but the being extends its needle toward her a little. She backs off.
The beings head tilts to the side and the porthole changes to a light red. Ozpin gulps and starts again.
"You won't have to eat fish any more or sleep in a cave somewhere. You can get an education and protect the innocents. And I know you don't want to hurt me."
The beings porthole changes to an amber yellow. It drops its arms and stands up a little taller. Ozpin release a sigh he was holding before taking out his scroll. The beings porthole flashes red and takes a combat stance. Ozpin opens it up and starts playing videos of hunter killing Grimm and protecting innocents. The being looks at the device in Ozpins hands and retracts its needles. The fishermen on the boat have stood in pure shock at the being. The video starts to end and the being crouches lower and lower until its hand are near the ground. Ozpin glances at Glynda and mouths the word 'Go get my bag.' She looks at him in confusion before walking to get it.
The being is staring at Ozpin with an amber porthole. Glynda comes back a little later with a small carrying bag. She hands it to him and backs away as the being growls at her. Ozpin glances at the being and shuffles through his bag. He pulls out a small bundle of paper and motions the being toward him. It stands up and walks over to him. It glances at the papers in Ozpins hand and takes them from him. It looks at them with curiosity and Ozpin nearly chuckles at that.
"Those papers are admissions to Beacon academy. And it you want to go, you just have to tell me your name." Ozpins says while smiling a little.
The being looks at Ozpin from its task of opening the plastic around the papers. It tilts its head to the right and Ozpins explains.
"I know you can understand me and you don't have to worry about not being near the sea. Beacon is next to the sea and you don't have to sleep in the dorms if you don't want to."
The being looks at Ozpin for a few seconds before its porthole turns a bright emerald-green. It shakes its head up and down. Ozpin chuckles at this, it was like watching a kid getting a new toy. He walks up to it and gently takes the papers away. He stuffs them back in his bag and nearly chokes as the being whimpers at the papers being taken away. He takes out a small stack of books and hands them to the being. It looks at them in confusion and flips through one with awe.
Glynda is staring in sheer disbelief at the scene in front of her. Ozpin has somehow convinced a being that could most likely kill them to join Beacon Academy. It didn't even know what a book was. The being looks at the books and puts them in its basket. Ozpin speaks again.
"I would like you to use those to learn our language."
The being tilts its head again but nods anyway. Glynda looked skeptical at the being. It was supposed to learn an entire language and how to read at the same time. The academy starts in a month. The being starts to walk toward the end of the ship. Ozpin calls out to it.
"Wait! You don't know where the academy is yet."
The being looks at him and has a 'No shit' face. It bends down and Ozpin asks a question.
"What is your name?"
The being stops and stares at the sky for a second before pointing to a small inscription near its neck. Ozpin narrows his eyes and looks at the name. It was old and rusted but he could make out the first two words.
"Jaune Arc? Is that your name?"
The being nods its head happily before jumping into the air and into the ocean. Ozpin looks at the water as the figure disappears under the waves. He ponders the name a little and nods his head. He walks back to Glynda and taps her shoulder. She looks at him with disbelief, confusion and a little awe.
"Come on Glynda. We have some paperwork to do for a mister Jaune Arc." He pats her shoulder and walks away.
She glances at the water and hurryingly follows him. The fishermen snap out of their dazes and start to squabble. The captain orders them to be quiet and get back to work.
They never noticed a small black figure follow them under the water.
5 weeks later
Waves crash against the large cliff of Beacon Academy. They rise and push against the large island carrying a lone person. A figure jumps out of the water and latches onto the cliff side. Jaune is seen looking up and climbing the cliff toward Beacon. He jumps from place to place till he is near the top. With a large leap, he clears the cliff and lands on solid ground. His legs are bent inward at a slight angle and his basket is filled with the books he was given. He makes some small screech noise before running into the forest.
In Ozpins office.
Ozpin is sitting in his chair and is sipping his coffee. His stare is directed toward the ocean and for some reason he can feel Jaune near him. He turns around at the familiar stench of sea salt. Standing there is Jaune arc with his porthole, a calm amber. Ozpin puts his coffee down and motions for Jaune to sit. Jaune doesn't reply but he does hand Ozpin back the books. Ozpin looks at Jaune strangely before asking.
"Did you learn how to speak?"
Jaune nods before trying.
"Speaking….is….hard ScrieEe but…..getting….better."
Ozpin winces slightly at the mechanized voice but he nods in acceptance. Glynda walks through the door and nearly drops her scroll at the sight of Jaune. She glances at Ozpin and sees his smirk. She glares at him before grabbing the books and standing near the side. Ozpin glances toward her with a small smirk but begins to speak to Jaune.
"Classes begin next week and we have notified the teachers of your condition. They will try their best to help the students understand you. But I have one question. How did you find the academy?"
Jaune nods his head at the first part and tilts his head a little. He walks to the window and points to the large green lights in Beacons towers. Ozpin raises and eyebrow and says.
"You found us by looking for the towers?"
Jaune shakes his head 'no' and speaks.
"I….felt…..it ScriEeE"
Ozpin looks at Glynda and sees her typing on her scroll. No doubt telling the teachers of their new arrival. Ozpin sighs before leaning in his chair. Jaune is seen crouching on the window seal with a hunched back and his needles deployed. He seems to humming a small tune and Ozpins can't help but wonder what it was. Ozpin stands up and walks up to him. Jaune is holding a small picture. Ozpin tries to get a better look and when he does, he nearly drops his mug in shock. In the picture there is a small blonde haired boy on the back of a female version of Jaunes suit.
Jaune is making small cooing and screeching noise at the photo. He touches the picture with his hand and seems to grow sadder. Ozpin puts his hand on Jaunes shoulder. Jaunes needles extend a little farther and Ozpin takes the hint.
"Is that your mother?" Ozpin asks with a small voice.
Jaune nods his head 'no' and Ozpin lifts and eyebrow.
"It is your sister then?"
Jaune nods his head 'yes' and his porthole glows a light blue. Jaune puts the photo away and turns around. His porthole is now amber again and he nods toward Ozpin and Glynda. He jumps out the window ignoring the cries of 'Wait!' Ozpin looks out his window and stares as Jaune lands on the roof and starts jumping off the walls toward the forest. Jaune jumps once more and lands on the ground. He turns around and waves to Ozpin before running into the forest with great speed. Ozpin waves back and leans back into his chair. He smirks before thinking.
"This is going to be an interesting year."
1 week later
Jaune looks up from his place under the waves. Large metal things hover in the sky and land near the entrance of beacon. Jaune looks behind him at his small basket. It was full of his personal belongings. He had found himself a little cave in the cliffs and has taken up residence there. He starts swimming up and jumps out of the water. He latches to the cliff and begins his journey up it. He pulls himself up and looks around. Ozpin told him to go where the students are coming from, so he guesses where the large floating things are? His porthole flashes a light red in irritation before running off toward the academy. He stops behind a grouping of trees and stares.
There is a small white-haired girl shaking a small vial of substance around in the air. A red-haired girl with a cape and silver eyes sneezes. A large explosion shakes the courtyard and Jaunes porthole flashes red for a second. The dust clears and the white-haired girl is covered in ash and the red-haired girl is on the ground. Jaune looks with worry at the red-haired girl and watches as the white-haired one walks away. He looks around and sees no one else before walking toward the girl. He stands in front of her and stretches out his hand.
The girl groans before opening her eyes. She reaches out and grabs his hand. He pulls her up on her feet and backs up a little. She rubs her head and says.
"Thanks. My name is-"
She stops and stares at him with her mouth wide open. He tilts his head to the side. Ruby stares in shock at the being in front of her. It looked like a diver suit but much darker. She looks over it and settles on the porthole that glows yellow. She gulps before speaking again.
"-Ruby. What is yours?"
Jaune looks at her strangely before pointing toward his neck. Ruby walks up to him and squints at the inscription. She blinks before saying.
"Your name is Jaune Arc?"
He nods his head and flashes his porthole green before settling on yellow. Ruby nods her head before asking.
"Do you know where we're supposed to go?"
Jaune ponders this before pointing toward the building. Ruby looks at where he is pointing and walks toward it. Jaune follows her and Ruby tries to start a conversation.
"So… I have this thing."
She deploys Crescent Rose and feels a large needle near her throat. She looks at Jaune and sees that his porthole is bright red and gulps. Jaune looks at the girl near him and growls a little in his throat. He looks at her and feels no ill intentions before pulling his needle back. Ruby sighs a little before continuing.
"This is a highly customized-compact, high impact sniper rifle."
Jaune just stares at her.
"It is also a gun."
She pulls backs the bolt for emphasis and Jaune still stares at her. Ruby stares at him before Jaune deploys his needle. She stares in awe at them. They are about 4 feet in length and seem to be razor-sharp. Ruby starts to gush and ask about them. Jaune just stares at the building while tilting his head every so often. They walk into the auditorium and people stare at Jaune in fear and confusion. Ruby just glances at them before hearing someone call her name.
"Hey! Ruby! Over her! I saved a seat for ya."
Ruby smiles before turning toward Jaune.
"I'll talk to you later Jaune, okay?"
Jaune nods and his porthole dims a little. Ruby feels guilty but waves to him as she walks toward her sister. Jaune stares at the surrounding people. He's never seen this many before! He feels very uncomfortable at the stares he was getting. He stands up and jumps into the rafters. He looks down at the people and crawls his way near the middle. He notices some red-haired girl staring at his figure. He hears footsteps and looks toward the front.
Ozpin is standing there with Glynda at his side. He seems to be looking through the students before he settle his gaze on Jaune. Jaune hangs down from the rafters like a monkey and listens to the speech being given.
"Today, you all come here for the chance to learn. The chance to learn your profession and your life. The hardships will be difficult and many of you will die. I offer my condolences but I cannot help you in that regard. The teachers here will teach you and guide you but it is up to whether you listen or not. Be careful and safe, you students and be ready."
Ozpin walks off the stage and Glynda takes his place.
"You all will stay in the auditorium tonight. Dismissed."
The students start to murmur and speak before walking off to find their spots. Jaune stares at the stage for a minute before crawling through the rafters. He pulls out a piece of paper from his suit and looks at it. It says locker '636' and gives a combination. He looks at it before nodding and jumping to the ground. People scatter a little as he lands and stare at him. He stares at them before taking off in a run through the door. Screeching is heard as he runs through the halls to his locker.
Later that night.
Ruby is sitting on the floor writing in her diary. Her blonde haired boisterous sister Yang is standing next to her. Yang is looking at the shirtless boys before speaking.
"So.. Ruby. Did you make any friends?"
Ruby stares at her before saying.
"Nope."
Yang stares at her before asking.
"But didn't you come in with that strange armored dude? Isn't he your friend?"
Ruby sighs before sitting her diary down.
"Jaune is my friend yes but I blew a girl up. That takes the 1 friend and makes it a 0."
Yang raises an eyebrow at her before noticing a black-haired girl in the corner.
With Blake.
Blake is reading a book and pondering something. When she came here, it smelled a lot like the ocean but that was to be expected. But the smell was like Deep Ocean and lots of barnacles and fish. They all saw the armored figure run away and screech and she had an inkling feeling that was the culprit. She sighs and looks up. A red-haired girl is being dragged by her blonde haired friend or sister, she couldn't tell. Blake groans a little as the girl introduces herself.
"This is going to be a long night."
With Jaune
Jaune looks behind him as the lights of Beacon fade into the night. The man Ozpin told him, that he could stay in the ocean if he wanted. He runs to the edge of the cliff and looks back. His porthole is glowing amber and he turns around and jumps. Jaune feels the wind fly past him and hears the waves crashing into the Cliffside. He straightens out and dives through the water. Jaune lets out a sigh of relief. He grew up in the ocean and he can't stand being away from it for very long. Jaune looks up to the surface and begins to swim back to his cave.
The caves entrance is medium and Jaune can fit in it with room to spare. The water is a bitter cold and blood runs through it. Jaune looks up and sees a shark pass over him with one of his catches in its mouth. Jaune looks at it and swims past. Jaune gives the sharks around the reefs food and they give him protection from humans and Grimm. Jaune swims to the very back of the cave and looks at his home. Fish have been stabbed and hooked to the stalagmites and various miscellaneous things are scattered around. Jaune slowly turns his oxygen down and feels tiredness creep up on him. His porthole starts to dim and fade before blinking out of existence. His body just floats there in the bitter cold with sharks surrounding his home.
Next Morning.
Jaune feels the warm ocean current come through his cave. His porthole turns yellow and he stretches. He looks around his home. The sunlight is coming through the caves entrance and his fish are still there. He grabs one and swims out. He hands it to a small reef shark and pats its head before swimming off. Jaune makes excursions around reefs and ravines searching for items. He finds many things: Coins, old books, pottery, and bones. He collects and makes things from them. Jaune looks up at the surface before swimming into a small ravine.
1 hour later.
Jaune comes back up with his basket full of colorful rocks and shells. He has something in his hand though. It looks like a miniature version of him but is made of bits and pieces of things. Some child must have heard of him in his old home and made a doll for him. He attached it to his side and swims up to the surface. He looks at the sun and his porthole darkens in fear. He was going to be late.! He starts to swim toward the cliffs with great fervor. He jumps from the water and clasps the cliff. He checks for the doll before hurrying up the cliff. He reaches the top and starts tearing through the forest. He sees the school and jumps through an open window. He lands on the floor and digs his needles into the ground. He looks in confusion as no one is in the hallways.
He looks at a clock and nearly screeches in surprise. He was early! Jaune dips his head in embarrassment and starts walking through the halls. Small clinking sounds catch his attention. He reaches into his basket and screeches in delight. He still has his colorful rocks and shells. He flashes his porthole green and walks through the hall with a spring in his step. He hears a conversation from around a corner. He crawls up the wall and pokes his head around the corner. Standing there is the white haired girl speaking to a tall red haired armored girl. He feels no ill intent, so he gets off the wall and walks toward his locker.
With Weiss and Pyrrha
Weiss smiles toward Pyrrha who smiles back. They were talking about the initiation and what they might do. She starts to smell something horrid. It smells of something that has been under the ocean for far too long. She looks behind Pyrrha and drops her mouth in shock. Walking toward them is some type of student in a diver suit. It had a bulbous head and lithe body. Metal covered its legs, arms, and shoulders. It has a large tank and basket on its back. It is hunched over like a predator waiting to be attacked. It was covered in barnacles and was the one with the smell. Who would were something that disgusting?!
Pyrrha just stared at the being as it passed. It walked pass them toward a locker at the end of the hallway. It screened back and typed in a combination. The locker opened and the being started taking rocks and shells from its basket. It starts putting one by one in the locker and its porthole is a bright green. The rocks are varying colors and hey seem to shine brilliantly in the early morning light. One of the rocks falls from its grasp and rolls toward them. Pyrrha picks it up and puts it in the light. It shines like a miniature rainbow and it is shown to be a crystal of amazing quality. Pyrrha clasps it in her hand and walks toward the student. She walks behind it and touches its shoulder.
Back with Jaune
Jaune is humming a song as he puts his rocks and shells in his locker. He feels something touch his shoulder. His porthole flashes red and he deploys his needle. He turns around faster than the person could react and had his needle at their throat. He is surprised that it is the red-haired girl and she is holding one of the rocks he collected. It must have dropped when he was putting it in his locker. He still doesn't know why they don't why call them storage. The red-haired girl sweats a little and stretches her hand toward him. He looks at the crystal before grabbing it. He looks it over and flashes his porthole green. He retracts his needle and looks at her. When he is hunched, he stands at the same height. She had some type of armor across her chest and her legs. She had green eyes and carried a javelin and shield on her back.
Pyrrha gulps as she feels the needle against her throat. The student moved very fast. She didn't even see it move. She stretched out her hand and it grabbed the crystal. It looks it over and flashes it porthole green. The needle is retracted and she sighs in relief. The being looks at her before handing the crystal back to her. Pyrrha stares in surprise. It wanted to give it to her for thanks? She grabbed the crystal and puts it in her pouch. She smiles at it and it flashes its porthole green again. It stand up as the intercom speaks.
"All first year students please report to the Forever Fall Cliff's for initiation. I repeat all students please report to the Forever Fall Cliffs for initiation. That is all"
It stands up a little straighter before walking away. Pyrrha stops it by asking.
"My name is Pyrrha Nikos. What's yours?"
It stopped and looked at her before trying to speak.
"Jaune...Schrieie...Arc"
Pyrrha flinches at the voice but nods. Its name is Jaune Arc. That's a boy's name if she was correct. It waved at her before shambling down the halls toward the initiation. Pyrrha glances at Weiss and chuckles. She is standing there in shock and disbelief. Pyrrha walks up to her and shakes her shoulder. Weiss looks at her with wide eyes as she jerks her finger to the cliffs direction. Weiss just stares at her. Pyrrha sighs before dragging the heiress to the initiation.
At the cliffs. (Note: these are not the sea cliffs if you haven't watched that episode yet.)
Ozpin and Glynda stare at the students gathered there. Some are tinkering with their weapons, some are talking to friends, and some are just standing on the launch plates. They all flinch as they her a high-pitched screech. A dark figure lands in the clearing and stands up. Jaune just looks around at the students. He notices Ruby and waves toward her. She waves back with a smile and turns back to her sister. Jaune notices Ozpin motioning toward him. He walks over and Ozpin points to some stone pad. Jaune narrows his porthole slightly but walks to it anyway. He stands on it and feels it be pushed down to the ground. He growls toward Ozpin but relents. Ozpin glances at the gathered students and begins his speech.
"Today is the day you prove your worth. You will be launched into the forest and be facing many Grimm. You will be making your own landing strategy. Today is also the day you will form a bond with someone."
Glynda intervenes with a sentence.
"Once you hit the ground, anyone you make eye contact with will become your partner for the next 4 years here in Beacon."
Jaune hears Ruby squeak an 'Ehhhh!' Ozpin continues.
"In the north of this forest there will be some ruins. In these ruins there shall be relics. Each relic represents something, so choose wisely. And also destroy the forest to your liking. It may just save your life."
With that sentence done, the pads start to launch one by one. Jaune looks at the flying students with slight fear. He was made for the water not the air! Ruby winks at him before being launched. Jaune glares at Ozpin and his porthole is red. He tries to grab him but is launched. Jaune screeches to the highest frequency he can and flails around. Glynda looks at Ozpin with a raised eyebrow.
"You do know he is going to impale you when this is over, right?"
Ozpins nods his head.
"Yep."
"And you're not worried?" Glynda asks.
"Oh I am but I am trying not to psyche myself out."
Glynda raises an eyebrow but shrugs her shoulders. She looks in the air and sees Jaune flailing around, his porthole a fierce red. Ozpin is going to die when this is over.
Watch out Beacon! A guardian is there and although he is young and not knowledgeable about the world, he will try to learn. Big brother is out of the water and he is curious~~~
