I don't own Percy Jackson or RWBY
Legends. Stories scattered through time. Mankind has grown quite fond of recounting the exploits of heroes and villains, forgetting so easily we are remnants, byproducts of a forgotten past.
Man born from dust, was strong, wise and resourceful. But he was born into an unforgiving world. An inevitable darkness creatures of destruction, the creatures of Grimm set there sits of man and all his creations, these forces clashed and it seemed the darkness was intent existence back to the void.
However even the smallest spark of hope is enough to ignite change. And in time man's passion and resourceful and ingenuity lead them to the tools to help even the odds. This power was appropriately named dust. Nature's wrath in hand, man lit their way through the darkness and in the shadows absences came strength, civilization and most importantly life.
But even the most brilliant light flicker and did. And when they are gone darkness will return. And there is one legend, long since forgotten, that told the tale of two heroes, banished by jealous lies, banished from their homes and families, before being given the chance of being reborn to help another universe.
Though the legend may just be a story to the people on this planet that does not mean it did not happen in another or that this world was the chosen world.
In the city of Vale, walking down a street was a group of men all wearing black suits, red ties, black hats and red shades, all wielding red bladed katana swords.
The man in the front however was wearing a red-collared white suit, a small gray scarf, a black bowler hat and long black pants. He was smoking his cigar as they walked down the street, feeling a sense of joy when he saw them all move out of his way in fear as he pasted. This man was Roman Torchwick, a well-known criminal who has been robbing dust stores, which just happened to be where he and his hired henchman where headed.
He and his hired henchmen stopped in front a store name "From Dust Till Dawn" which appeared to be still open though it was late at night. Flicking his cigar, Roman heads into the store followed by the henchman.
While the henchmen started to look around at the shop's assortment of Dust crystals in the display, Roman the elderly shopkeeper.
"Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a Dust shop open this late?" the criminal inquired flicking his cigar again. One of the henchman behind Torchwick pulls out his gun and points it at the shopkeeper.
"P-please! Just take my Lien and leave!" the man tried to reason holding up his hands in surrender.
"Shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, calm down, we're not here for your money." Roman said in a comforting way before turning to his henchman and ordered "Grab the Dust."
One of the henchman places a case on the counter before opening it, revealing several cylinders. Several henchman grabbed a cylinder from the case before heading to the walls to fill them with Dust from the tube containers.
Another henchman places an open case on the display facing the shopkeeper "Crystals. Burn. Uncut" he ordered.
Scared the shopkeeper proceeds to do as ordered and fill the case. As the shopkeeper was doing this another henchman goes for another tube of Dust but hears the muted sound of music coming from the back of the store, coming from two people standing together next to the newsstand.
The two were standing so the boy, who had a black monkey tail that was coloured purple near the end coming out from his pants, was behind the girl, arms wrapped around her waist and head on shoulder reading the weapons magazine. The boy was wearing a black hoodie with the hood up and the zipper undone, revealing a dark purple shirt, he also wore dark gray shorts; his muscles could clearly be seen, despite his hoodie, and showed off his runners build. The girl was wearing a black blouse and a skirt with red trimmings, she was also wearing a red cloak with the hood on; she appeared to not have that much muscle.
Unsheathing his sword the henchman points it towards their backs and ordered "Alright kids, put your hands where I can see 'em" when he got no response he started to get annoyed "Hey, I said hands in the air! You got a death with or something!?" he asked a bit louder than before.
He goes over to them and turns them around, making both of their hoods drop, surprising both of them. Now that their hoods were off the henchman saw that the boy, who looked about sixteen, had raven black and purple hair that was unkempt and sea-green eyes, while the girl, who looked fifteen, had silver eyes and black and red hair and they were both wearing headphones, the girls being red while the boys navy blue.
The henchman motions for them to lower the headphones which they both do, "Yes?" the boy asked confused.
"I said, put your hands in the air, now!" the henchman ordered again, finally being heard by the couple.
"Are you… robbing us?" the girl ask this time narrowing her eyes slightly at the man who interrupted her peaceful moment.
"Yes!" the man yelled at the two, annoyed at how long this had taken.
"Ooohhh… " they both said together with narrow eyes at the man before them, who suddenly got a chill down his spine and the feeling he had just made a terrible mistake trying to rob these two kids.
Roman, who was leaning on the display looking at a red Dust crystal, waited for his hired grunts to finish the heist when he suddenly heard shouts coming from the back before one of the henchman flies past him. Calmly he looks at two of the grunts of to the side and motions for them to handle the disturbance.
The two henchmen follow the unsaid order and pull their guns out, pointing them at the young couple before yelling "Freeze!"
Outside the shop, unaware of what was happening inside, a girl, who looked seventeen, was leaning against on the shop next to "From Dust Till Dawn", wearing a grey hoodie with a tribal lightning bolt over her right breast and the zip done up half way revealing dark gray t-shirt, as well as black shorts that were rolled up to her mid-thigh and combat boots that reach half way up her calf.
She was surprised when there was a sudden crash as four bodies seemed to come through the window of the building next to her.
Outside the shop the boy and the girl started to get up, standing next to the henchman they had tackled out the window, and allowed for their weapons to unfold. The girl wielding a large scythe, while the boy wielded a single-edged sword, which had a slightly longer blade that the girls scythe, which he twirled around before stabbing it into the ground and crouching on the handle, tail swing around behind him randomly.
Roman who was looking through the window, along with the other henchman, scowls while both the boy and girl smile back at them before the girl twirls her scythe around, and striking it into the road in front of her and she turned off her headphones, the boy chose to continue to listen to his music.
"Okayyy…" Roman says before looking at the remaining henchmen before ordering "Get them!"
The henchmen start to head out the store and run at the two of them the first few head towards the girl who spins around her scythe kicking the closest criminal in the face. She pulls her weapon out of the ground and fires off another one with the butt of her weapon, sending the man flying. She fires again and brings down the side on one attacker before doing another gunfire, and with her rifle's speed, got close enough to knock him down.
At the same time when the girl was first attacked the boy slammed the end of his sword into the ground before using it to lift himself up a round house kick one of the grunts in the face. As he landed he pulled his blade from the ground and while still spinning hit another grunt with the blunt side of the blade, making him slam into a nearby by wall. The last one there charged and the boy swung his blade in an arc upwards hitting the man in the chin with dull side, sending him up into the air. The boy suddenly seemed to disappear before reappearing next to the man in the air, before beating him away to Roman's feet.
"You were worth every cent. Truly, you were" Torchwick says looking at the knocked henchman at his feet, before looking up at the girl and boy, "Well, Red and Gray, I think can all say it's been an eventful evening, and as much as I'd love to stick around…" while talking Roman had dropped his cigar to the ground before crushing it with his cane and lifting it up to where he opens the bottom to reveal a rifle with a cross grid "…I'm afraid this is where we part ways" he says before firing a red blast causing the girl to fire at the ground to leap over it and the boy to back flip away.
When he's on his feet the boy rushes over to the girl who had just landed, they both noticed Roman wasn't stand where he was previously, before noticing him climbing up a ladder on a nearby building.
Turning to face the on looking shopkeeper the boy asked politely "You okay if we go after him?"
When the shopkeeper gives a short 'Uh huh' the boys sword blade suddenly extends downwards before turning horizontal and the blade bending inwards to become a scythe exactly like the girls next to him except slightly longer blade.
As soon as his weapon finished transforming the two shot at the ground sending them upwards towards the top of the building Torchwick was one. By the time Roman made it to the roof, the two high-fly onto it landing right behind him.
"Hey!" the two shout in unison at the criminal aiming their scythes behind them.
Roman hearing the shout stops at the edge of the roof before muttering "Persistent…"
The two get ready to fight him before a Bullhead rises up in front of them and opens a hatch, allowing Roman to hope inside it. Turning around Roman holds up a red Dust gem "End of the line you two" he shouts before throwing it at their feet and firing it at it.
Reacting quickly the boy is able to push the girl out of the way, and was able to stand up from a roll, from the explosion. When the girl looked at her partner she was surprised and happy to see he was still alive and also noticed an older woman with light-blond hair tied back in a bun, she was wearing a white long-sleeved suit with puffy sleeves that tightened around the wrist and her lower body had a black business skirt. She also wore a tattered cape that looked to have purple on the inside and black on the out, she was also holding a crop with a purple magic circle in front of her.
"Whoa-ho-ho-ho!" Roman laughed before stopping when he noticed the new arrival "Huh?"
The woman, Glynda Goodwitch, looked at the aircraft with distaste before waving her crop at it summoning several streaks of purple which smashed into the aircraft. Roman, who was being thrown around a lot in the Bullhead from attacks, manages to make it into the cockpit where a woman in a red dress and whose face is covered in a shadow, is struggling with the controls is.
"We got a Huntress!" he announced to the woman who got up and switched places with Roman, who took the controls.
On the rooftop the girl had joined her boyfriend who was standing next to the Glynda, said Huntress started to glow purple for a moment before shooting another blast above the craft, resulting in dark storm-clouds appearing right of the jet.
"The hell…?" Torchwick says from the cockpit at the sudden appearance of the storm clouds. With a flick of her crop, large jagged hail started to shoot at the jet, one breaks through the glass of the cockpit narrowly missing Roman's head.
The woman, who was previously piloting, reached the back of the Bullhead and quickly got to work by seeming to light her arms and chest up like fire, before aiming the burst of energy at Glynda.
Said person blocks the strike, but the flames splatters behind her and start to glow hotter with the raising of the enemy's hand. Seeing what was happening at her feet she back-flips out of the explosion, which destroyed the part of the roof she was just standing on. Magically, the huntress gathers the shards before forming them into a large arrow and throwing it at the aircraft.
The mysterious woman sends several blasts at the arrow shattering it, but it just reformed back together and hits the side of the jet due to Torchwick's quick aerial lean. The shards separated again and reshape into more arrows that start to encircle the jet, but again the woman puts a stop to them by summoning several glowing rings around herself that expand and destroy the shards.
The couple, finally acting, revert their weapons back to their rifle forms and start to fire upon the woman, who manages to block each shot before creating several blazing circles around the three on the roof.
Sensing the danger the boy tackles the girl out of the explosion's radius, while Glynda rolls out of the way. Looking up they see the hanger door closing and the Bullhead flying of the boy and girl look at the Huntress before them.
"You're a Huntress!" the girl said excitedly, her face was that of pleading and awe-stricken "Can I have your autograph?!" this cause the boy to face palm and chuckle at his girlfriend's childish nature.
The two were later brought, by Glynda who was holding a tablet computer, to a dark room with a table, which they were seated at, which was right underneath a bright light. Both looked ashamed as Goodwitch paced around the table.
"I hope that you both realize that your actions tonight will not be taken lightly, young ones. You put yourself and others in great danger." Glynda chastised them sternly.
"They started it!" the girl pointed out, "Ruby, I tried that the first year in signal didn't work then, it's not going to work on a Huntress now" the boy muttered and the girl, Ruby, just pouts at him.
"If it were up to me, you'd be sent home… With a pat on the back…" Glynda starts and notices the smiles on their faces "…And a slap on the wrist" she emphasizes this by swatting her wand at the two's wrist, both barely avoiding it and Ruby lets out an 'Eeek!' "But… there is someone here who would like to meet you both"
As she says this she moves out of the way of the door to reveal a middle-aged man with tousled gray hear and thin brown eyes holding a mug and a plate of cookies. He was wearing shaded glass spectacles and a dark-green scarf with a small, purple, cross emblem on it. He also wore an unzipped black suit over a black-buttoned vest and green undershirt, as well as long dark-green pants.
"Ruby Rose…" He says leaning in to look at her face "You… have silver eyes" he adds before leaning back and looking at the boy, "and you must be Perseus Jackson-Arula" the boy, Perseus, at the mention of his full name flinched slightly, "just Percy sir" he informed the man, who just nodded his head.
"So! Where did you two learn to do this?" the man asked, gesturing with his head towards the tablet Glynda was holding, which showed two videos going, one of Percy's fight and one of Ruby's.
"S-Signal Academy" Ruby stuttered out afraid she might say something wrong, Percy just reached out and grabbed hold of her hand, giving it a firm squeeze to calm her down and it seemed to have the intended affect.
"They taught both of you to use one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed?" The man asked suspiciously.
"Well, one teacher in particular taught us how to wield scythes" Percy answered for them both as he remember his teacher, "I was able to complete training for single-edged swords a year ahead of my class, my teacher said something about instincts" Percy added.
"I see…" The man says nodding his head before placing the plate of cookies on the table in front of them. Ruby tentatively picks one up, before eating it in one bite, seeing no rebuttal, shovels all but a few into her mouth leaving a few for Percy, while Percy just eats his normally.
"It's just that I've only seen one other scythe-wielder of that skill before. A dusty, old crow…" The man says, murmuring the last bit absent mindedly.
"Oh! That's my uncle!" Ruby mumbles with her mouth full, before swallowing the food in her mouth and wiping it, embarrassed "Sorry. That's my Uncle Qrow! He's a teacher at Signal. We were complete garbage before he took us under his wing, but since Percy's a year ahead he helps train me. And now, I'm all like- Hooowaaah! Witchaaaa!" she then proceeded to make some karate-style poses to her noises, while Percy face palms.
"So I've noticed." The man says before sitting down opposite them "And what is an adorable girl such as yourself doing at a school designed to train warriors?" the man inquired her.
"Well… I want to be a Huntress." Ruby says tells him honestly.
"You want to slay monsters?"
"Yeah! I only have two more years of training left at Signal! And then I'm going to apply to Beacon!" As Ruby's talking she started to speak fast the more her enthusiasm grew. "You see, my sister's starting there this year, and she's trying to become a Huntress, and I'm trying to become a Huntress 'cause I wanna help people. My parents always taught us to help others, so I thought, Hey, I might as well make a career out of it!" she pauses to giggle a bit "I mean the police are alright, but Huntsmen and Huntresses are just so much more romantic and exciting and cool and really, gosh, you know!" At the end she flips out and staring at the two in front of her with a wide, crazy smile, while Percy looks slightly embarrassed by her actions and the other two just study her.
"Do you know who I am?" the man asks.
"You're Professor Ozpin." Percy starts
"You're the headmaster at Beacon" Ruby ended.
"Hello" Ozpin says smiling at the two in front of them.
"Nice to meet you" they say in unison, smiling.
"So you both want to come to my school?" he questions.
"More than anything." Ruby says while Percy just nodded in agreement to what she said.
Ozpin looks back at Glynda, who has been standing behind him the whole time, and exchange glances and Glynda lets out a disapproving 'Hmmph' before he turns back to the two, "Well, okay." He eventually answered and both Ruby and Percy smile, wide-eyed and mouths open.
Aboard a large airship heading to Beacon both Percy and Ruby were tackled from the front in a one arm hug by Ruby's half-sister, Yang Xiao Long, who was currently wearing a tan vest with a low-cut crop top underneath, as well as black short shorts underneath her belt, which resembled a pleated skirt in the back.
"Oh, I can't believe my baby sister and her sexy boyfriend are coming to Beacon with me! This is the best day ever!" Yang cheers between them, while crushing the air out of their lungs.
"Please stop" Ruby gasps from her sister's hug, and was quickly released from it.
"But I'm so proud of you!" Yang told her honestly.
"Really Yang, it was nothing, we stopped a few bad guys" Percy said as he put his arm around Ruby, who hugged his side sighing in comfort, "I assumed he was going save us a spot or something for when we apply, not move us up a couple years"
"What do you mean? It was incredible! Everyone at Beacon is going to think you're the bee's knees" Yang said excitedly.
"We don't want to be the 'bee's knees', okay? We don't want to be any kind of knees! We just want to be normal people with normal knees" Ruby tells Yang, already having discussed with Percy beforehand about getting moved up.
"What's with you two? Aren't you guys excited?" Yang asks concerned for them, this was their eventual goals.
"Of course we're excited… It's just" Percy said before sighing "I got moved ahead a year, and Ruby two. We don't want people to think we're special or anything" Percy explains to Yang and Ruby nods her head in agreement.
Yang moves to the other side of Percy and pulls him into a one-armed hug "But you two are special" she tells them softly and honestly.
Suddenly their attention is drawn to the 2-D animated newscast on Vale New Network that was playing nearby, talking about the robbery and having Roman's mug shot on screen. "The robbery was led by the nefarious criminal Roman Torchwick, who continues to evade authorities. If you have any information on his whereabouts, please contact the Vale Police Department. Back to you, Lisa." Reported a newsman.
The screen changed to a lady in a business suit and white hair, along with a photo of animal-eared demonstrators holding signs saying 'WE ARE NOT ANIMALS!' "Thank you, Cyril. In other news, this Saturday's Faunus Civil Rights protest turned dark when members of the White Fang disrupted the ceremony." Here the image changed logo of a growling red wolf's head with three scratch marks, "The once peaceful organization has now disrupted…"
The news feed was suddenly cut off as a hologram of Glynda Goodwitch replaced it and said "Hello, and welcome to Beacon!"
"Who's that?" Yang whispers as she leans over to Percy.
"My name is Glynda Goodwitch" the hologram said.
Percy turned to Yang with an innocent smile and said "what she just said", which got him a soft hit of the chest from Ruby, making him pout at her.
"You are among a privileged few who have received the honor of being selected to attend the prestigious academy! Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace," you probably just jinxed it Percy thought ideally "and as future Huntsmen and Huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, and now it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world." Glynda says before the hologram disappears.
Several of the people on the airship, including Ruby, cry out in surprise at the view. Ruby quickly dragged Percy over to the window as Yang follows them amused at her sister's antics. "Oh, wow! Look, you can see Signal from up here!" Ruby says looking out the glass walls at the town below "I guess home isn't too far after all!" She added.
"Beacon's our home, now" Yang and Percy saying in unison before looking at each other and laughing. They were brought out of their laughing by another passenger who was groaning and hunched over nearby, before he ran to the back of the ship.
"Well… I guess the view isn't for everyone" Percy says rolling his eyes and the kid.
"It was a nice moment while it lasted" Ruby replied softly before standing in front of Percy and leaned her back against his chest, Percy wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her in closer.
"I wonder who we're gonna meet!" Ruby says excitedly at the thought of meeting new people, and mainly their weapons.
"Ugh, I just hope they're better than Vomit Boy" Yang says with a bit of disgust and humor in her voice.
"Oh, Yang, gross! You have puke on your shoes!" Ruby shouts before she is lifted up by Percy as he pulled her up to sit on his lap while he sat on one of the cross beams, swing his tail around randomly ticking her. They stay like that for the rest of the trip which help relax Ruby a bit, while Yang wiped the vomit of her shoes.
Hey guys hope you're are having a Merry Christmas, I had this typed up and thought I might post it as a sort of Christmas present. This is going to be similar to my other story where it's basically a retell, but with Perseus and Thalia plus two OC's I made.
I will try to explain why and how both Perseus and Thalia were reborn into another universe. Their lasts names are changed because when they were reborn, Hera and Hestia, under different first and last names, created mortal bodies and copied their conscious to look after both of them separately. So Percy became Perseus Arula and Thalia became Thalia Fulmen.
I should mention that it was Thalia that was standing outside 'From Dust Till Dawn' when Ruby and Percy crashed through.
Cya guys next time
