After thinking long and hard about what to do about this, I came to the decision that I wanted to post a story for this particular scenario. The summary should be plenty self-explanatory, but you should enjoy the show anyway.
*I still don't own RWBY, and I don't own Fossil Fighters!*
Summary: After being expelled from Beacon due to his forged documentations, Jaune Arc leaves the four kingdoms altogether, choosing to instead leave to an island of prehistoric power. Armed with Medals that can resurrect ancient creatures from Prehistoric Times, he competes in a tournament to bring about who he truly is. But with the BB Bandits on the prowl, along with his former friends and comrades trying to bring him back to Remnant against his will, can he find the peace he so desperately craves?

An Arc's Adventure Begins - A Simple Questionaire!
"As we near our exciting destination, Vivosaur Island, please enjoy this informative video." said a man's voice.
As the screen changed from a simple black screen to vivid color and images, we see a video being played where it first shows an island that has the distinct shape of a Theropod Dinosaur's head. Moving away from that, it begins to feature all sorts of people and… what's this? Living breathing Dinosaurs? Being brought into battle using MEDALS?! Good heavens!
"Vivosaur Island is an island resort run by the Richmond Foundation! The biggest attraction on Vivosaur Island is Fossil Stadium and the Fossil Battles that are fought there."
On one team there are Dinosaurs from each era in history, ranging from the early Triassic Period to the mid Jurassic Period, followed by the late Cretaceous Period all the way to the Pleistocene era. And all of the creatures battling were Dinosaurs and the like.
Prehistoric creatures such as Allosaurus, Pteranodon, Triceratops, Wooly Mammoths, Smilodon the Saber-Tooth Cat, and even the mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex! A truly breathtaking sight.
"Dinosaurs of the ancient past are revived with greater powers than ever and sent into battle!"
The scene in the video shifts to a fight featuring a Tyrannosaurus Rex facing off against a towering Brachiosaurus. T-Rex manages to avoid being crushed under the Sauropod's massive weight by leaping back with surprising agility for a Dinosaur of T-Rex's stature, and does something the viewer didn't expect.
IT BREATHED FIRE FROM ITS MOUTH AS IF IT WERE SOME KIND OF DRAGON! WHAT THE DUST IS THIS?! And why can't Crocodiles do that? Someday, apex lizard. Someday.
"The power! The savagery! The drama! Thrilling in every way, every time! And to those who want to do more than just watch, training is available to become a Fossil Fighter. Fossil Fighters dig their own fossils, revive their own Dinosaurs, and fight their own battles! If you've dreamed of rising through the ranks to become a Master Fighter, dream no longer!"
The scene then shifts to a picture of a group of these Fossil Fighters standing outside the Fossil Stadium in various poses. One was a samurai, and another wore a mask resembling a T-Rex head.
"Yes, yes, YES! This is the start of an extravagantly exciting and fabulously fantastic adventure!"
The video fizzles out and the scene then shifts to a red and orange motorboat that was moving across the seas without any trouble whatsoever. No attacks from aquatic Grimm, no giant monsters, just the high seas and the foamy waves.
The captain laughed once the video was done and began to speak to his only passenger.
"After watching that video, I'll bet you can hardly wait to get there." he said.
"You said it! I've been waiting for this for a long time now!" replied the voice of a young man.
From the sound of the voice we can safely assume that this guy is no older than seventeen years at most. But we don't know what he looks like yet.
"Wait, let me guess - you're on your way there to become a Fossil Fighter?" the captain asked with a grin.
The young man seemed to become sheepish from the tone of his voice with this question.
"That obvious, huh?" he asked.
The captain gave a hearty chuckle at the lad's attitude. But it was all good-natured and not in any way meant to make fun of him.
"Yeah, I've seen that twinkle in your eye before! But it says a lot about you, lad. It takes bravery to go all the way to Vivosaur Island on your own." He replied as he introduced himself. "I'm Captain Travers. What's your name, young man?"
"My name's Jaune. Short, sweet, easy to remember." the young man replied.
"So they call you Jaune, eh? Like the old warrior, Joan of Arc? That's a great name! I can easily picture a famous Fossil Fighter named Jaune." said Travers. "If you're out to become a Fossil Fighter, I imagine you're a big fan of Dinosaurs, right?"
Jaune simply nodded in response from offscreen. This seemed to make Captain Travers smile even wider. It was always refreshing to find youths from Remnant who weren't all about guns and blowing shit up for cash.
"Well, I have a few questions about them that I'd like you to answer. Which do you like better, carnivores or herbivores?" Travers asked.
Jaune didn't even need to think about this.
"Carnivores. They might look like big, gaping mouths with teeth, but they're actually some of the smartest creatures to have ever lived on the earth before we humans came along." Jaune said.
In response to this new information, Captain Travers asked "So do you like big, strong carnivores or the small and quick type?"
Once again, Jaune didn't need to think.
"Big carnivores. They may be slower than most Dinosaurs, but they're by no means any less destructive!"
And in response to this answer, Travers asked his final question.
"Between these two big carnivores, which do you like better? Tyrannosaurus, the fiery king of all Dinosaurs! Tarbosaurus, the purple-skinned jaws of death! Which one then, huh?"
Jaune seemed to get a big grin as he still didn't need to think about his answer. He knew this one by heart, because he always loved this Dinosaur ever since he was a little boy.
"Tarbosaurus! He's been my favorite since before kindergarten!"
"Ah, so you're more of a Tarbosaurus type, eh?" Travers asked, though it sounded more like a statement. "I'll remember that. The Tarbosaurus fan, Jaune."
He would have asked more, but he spotted something getting closer in the distance. Both men grinned even wider as they realized what it was. Their chosen destination. A destination full of wonders, joy, friendships, and of course - Dinosaurs!
"Ah, looks like we're about to arrive at Vivosaur Island."
*To Be Continued…*
This chapter was more of a prologue, so that's why it's so short. However, you should know that I seriously thought about making Jaune a fan of Tyrannosaurus or Maiasaura, but then I thought - "You know what? Tarbosaurus doesn't get enough love. I'm giving Jaune him!" Anyway, please be sure to tell me your thoughts on this story in the reviews. Constructive criticism is always welcome. And flames will be fed to Tyrannosaurus Rex. See you all next time!
