PNA:Project Prometheus
Authors Note: First of all, Hello! As you may be able to tell, this is my first go at writing. I appreciate any feedback if you have some to contribute, so long as it helpful feedback and not just straight-up hate.. The story and Original Characters are being tweaked constantly, as to not seem like a generic bland story and Overpowered Characters, thats far from what OC's are supposed to be and what this is to be. They aren't meant to be 'The Perfect Ones' otherwise it would just be a waste to write as everything could be summed up like this. "They are perfect and they saved the world the end."
This begins after episode 10 of Volume 1. I must apologize for any Out of Character traits from the four main characters you may encounter in the future, but please dont hesitate to point it out so that I can try and rectify.
One thing that I should note is that later on the chapters will began to shift the focus onto the OC's, but that doesn't mean the focus will solely be them. But if the OC's turns you off then I understand, it's not your cup of tea.
Now for some Vocabulary words that will be mentioned in the story. These will be prominent parts of the story in the future.
Grifball: Remnants version of Football (Soccer).
HA: Hunter Association. The official governing body of Competitive Combat and the issuer of Hunter's Licenses.
FIGA: Fédération Internationale de Grifball Association. The governing body of Grifball. Gridiron is not governed by them.
FIGHA: Fédération Internationale de Grifball et Hunters Association. Conglomerate of FIGA and the HA. Governs the Prestigious Hunter and Grifball Champions League, Copa Defendores and the Vytal Tournament from the 39th Edition Forward..
If you haven't noticed already from the above, this will also have a focus on Competitive Combat.
One last thing is that Despite the Tags, White Rose is here.
Chapter 1
RWBY's Dorm Room.
"I swear that bed is going to kill me while I'm asleep." Weiss said while looking at the bed, since the window was open, a breeze came through and she noticed that bed started to rock a bit.
"Come on Weiss, it isn't that bad." Ruby was actually surprised the rope was holding well
"Ruby, The bed is tied up with rope….WITH ROPE! And it's rocking back and forth! Look!" Weiss actually was feeling a bit less tired after seeing that.
"I mean it could be worse….I could have tried tape"
"….Have you tried to do that?" Weiss raised an eyebrow, she wouldn't be surprised if she did try
"Nooooo…..maybe?" Ruby mumbled out while looking at the ground.
"Come on Weiss, don't be so hard on it, she did a really good job on that" Yang threw in, she was on top of her bed with her laptop browsing things on the internet.
"I'm pretty sure I have Blake to back me up on this since she is also in a similar position, right Blake?" Weiss was trying to get someone to side with her on the situation but it seemed like a moot point.
"I mean it saves space that could be used for other things. The idea is great but the execution could use some work, but if it works then why not just go with it?" Blake tried to side with Ruby and Yang, which got a small fist pump from Ruby.
"We have all this extra space, why not use that instead of making these?" Weiss still tried to argue her point, despite knowing it was a lost cause.
"Because I want to put a small table and maybe a TV and a Video Game Console and…" Yang listed what she wanted to do with the spare space, but was stop by the somewhat pissed of Weiss.
"Wait, your telling me we did all this" she points to the beds and the mended curtain "so that you could space for a TV?"
"Not just a TV Weiss…a Wall Mounted Flat screen TV. One of those fancy smartTVs, like from that one company. Was its Sansill? Or Hansung? Squashbug?" Yang was in a thinking pose while trying to figure out the name.
"…You mean Samsung?" replied Weiss in a flat tone. Clearly she was not amused and had decided to go to the bathroom to change into her sleep attire.
"Yeah that one!"
"Sis, why not get the one made by Vizio? Its dirt cheap and we can even use our scrolls as remotes since they have an IR Blaster!" Ruby remembered the one from the big electronics store some months back.
"Don't you need to have a specific type of scroll for that though?" Yang didn't even know these had IR Blasters.
"Our scrolls are made by HTC, which is owned by the PNA Corporation. All their phones have IR Blasters and work with stuff like that TV or something." Ruby replied while she checked her scroll.
"Ugh, don't even mention that company" Weiss had just come out of the bathroom.
"Why? What's wrong with them?" Ruby was curious. The PNA Corp had a good reputation of selling products to consumers which for the most part, weren't inexpensive. Except for their "Premium Line"…
"The fact that they sell stuff for such lower prices, the fact that they buy out up and coming businesses, ESPECIALLY if they have patents on certain things. Not to mention the fact that none of their products use dust anymore since it was the company was renamed years ago." Weiss said, her tone hinting a bit of annoyance at the topic.
"Princess, you're just mad that they don't need to buy your companies dust to make their stuff and the fact that they are a major rival to your company" Yang teased, trying to further irritate the Heiress.
"Exactly! What company doesn't need dust to make their products?" Weiss was baffled about that, the majority of things on Remnant used dust in some way shape or form.
"Clearly the PNA, since they seem to be doing fine without dust" Blake said in a tone of smugness. She really despised the way the Shnee Dust Corporation treated its Faunus workers. That was made clear the day after everyone had settled in. Though no one knew about her Faunus Traits….And her super-secret book of guilty pleasure.
"Alright, I think we should all hit the sack, Ozpin said something about an important assembly tomorrow." Ruby said as she walked out of the bathroom.
"What do you think it's about Blake?" Yang asked as she looked down toward Blake.
"I don't know, but the way Ozpin made it sound, it could be very important." Blake said as she put her book away.
"Well he DID say that it could alter one of the teams in a big way." said Weiss as she climbed up into her bed.
"That is true, anyway, we'll see tomorrow, night everyone" said Ruby as she turned off the lights
"Night Rubes"
"Goodnight"
"Night"
Auditorium. Around 1:00
People were chatting around the auditorium as Headmaster Ozpin was walking up to the microphone. Sporting his signature mug with some coffee.
"Good afternoon everyone. Today, we have received 2 Transfer students. Usually transfer students aren't a big deal, but this is. The reason for this is due to the fact that they will not be going into their own team. Instead, they will be placed into an existing team which will bump the number of members on a team from four to six. This is something that we usually try to avoid due to obvious balancing purpose among other things, I shall allow it to purposely happen on this one occasion. Before we choose the team that will get these two individuals, let meet them first." Everyone was looking at the side entrance as Ozpin starting to introduce the first student.
"Introducing first, Please welcome Alexis Blau!" Walking up the ramp and behind Ozpin was a Teenage Woman with fair, milky white skin, Blonde hair that went straight down her back and curled at the ends and Brilliant Hazel Eyes.. She was wearing a White Sleeveless Vest with blue trim along with a blue skirt and matching Blue Fingerless gloves and boots. Her weapon is on her left arm and is in a dormant state. Some people start wolf whistling at her and Ruby was gawking at her, causing Yang starts giggling. On the podium, Alexis at this point was covering her face in her hand and shaking her head. Ozpin then immediately regained everyone's attention by clearing his throat. "Ok, now that the immaturity has ceased, let me introduce our other student." He then took another sip of his coffee before starting his monologue
"Introducing next, from Patch, he attended Signal academy and is the current CEO of the PNA Corporation, please welcome Alexander Rojo!" Everyone was stunned. No one knew who the CEO of that Company is! Everyone was snapped out of being stunned as they heard music beginning to play. The lights around the arena where Ozpin was standing at begin to go crazy, until everyone began to notice that the lights were actually going to the beat of the music. On the big screen behind Ozpin, the PNA logo also spinning around to the beat. After about a minute and a half of waiting, the side entrance was the point of interest as Male with Caramel colored skin, slicked back hair and Brown eyes was walking towards the podium. He was wearing Blue Jeans and a Black T Shirt with the PNA Logo on the right breast. He also had a black long sleeve undershirt. On his left wrist was what at first glance looked like a typical digital watch, but upon closer inspection it was revealed to be one of those new Smartwatches with a touchscreen. Weiss and Blake stared in shock as Ruby and Yang were whispering to each other.
In Weiss' head, her thoughts were going rampant. 'No way! I don't believe this! He didn't tell me he would be the Head of the Company! He told me that we still be in touch. Did he forget? Does he even remember me? I hope he does…'
Ruby and Yang were also in disbelief and started to whisper to each other.
"Yang, it's…It's…
"I know Rubes!"
"Now we are going to draw to see what team will receive these two superb students." Ozpin then started to type something into his scroll tablet.
While that was going on, Alexis and Alexander had decided to introduce themselves to each other. "So you're the super-secret head genius man person in charge of PNA?" Alexis asked with a small smile.
"Yeah, pretty much. Not much to say about that since you basically summed that up in six words." The brunette shot back jokingly with a smile of his own.
"Aren't you a little too…Young to be running a multi-billion Lien company?" she said that as she raised her eyebrow.
"Yeah, but so was Seto Kaiba…what's your point?" she tilted her head in acknowledgement.
"Fair Enough" she extended her arm, signaling for a handshake "Alexis Blau, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"Alexander Rojo, but everyone calls me Alex. The pleasure is mine." She took her hand and shook it.
"…"
"…"
"…"
"What is he doing?" She pointed to him as he and Glynda were setting up the whole thing. He just shrugged.
"I don't know. Maybe they are doing this to see what team we end up on?" He looked back at the Headmaster and Professor before looking back at Alexis. "If I were him, I would have just thrown all the teams into a hat and picked from there." Alexis just looked at him incredulously.
"Really? A hat?" He just shrugged
"What? Do you expect me to actually do a ton of work just to see what team two kids end up?"
"Uh, Yeah, kind-of. I mean, you are sort of deciding their fate for the next 4 years" He just rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, I don't have the patience to do that. Just stick all the team names into a hat and pick."
"You would suck as Headmaster, you know that?" She said in a joking manner. He just shrugged
"Eh, that's why if I get offered a job as one, I'll reject it immediately." They both smiled before going quiet again, still watching Ozpin do final checks on the thing he was working on, while the students were chatting amongst themselves. The two of them were looking around, and he could have sworn he saw….no, he was probably imagining things. Alexis then began to talk to him again.
"So, where do you think we'll end up?" He just shrugged. "It'll probably be a team that is weak and needs help or something. You know, one that is either close to failing or is already failing." He raised an eyebrow at how she was acting…a bit arrogant.
"You sound like someone who has had that experience before. Has that happened already?" She nodded
"Yeah, back in Atlas we are only in teams for about 4 months or something unlike here where it's 4 years. But I would almost always be paired with people who were incompetent. I would ask why, and would always be told 'It's so you can help your fellow classmates'. It was annoying as hell because I am not some kind of super-human-I-can-backpack-the-god-damn-team. I'm a regular person, but professors always put me up on a pedestal as if I was a God or The Stig." Alex raised an eyebrow again.
"Top Gear reference?" She nodded. "You like the show?" She nodded again "Nice. Don't worry about incompetent teammates though. Since we got paired up as partners, I can assure you that I am not incompetent…usually." She just rolled her eyes and chuckled.
Meanwhile, Ozpin had finished setting up what he called dubbed the "Draft Lottery"
"Alright everyone, we will now see who will have these two students as teammates for the next 4 years." Ozpin said as he pressed a button and all the teams started to pop up in quick succession. Then the Beacon Academy logo showed up and the team was revealed and everyone was gasped audibly. "The team that will receive these two, is Team RWBY! Team RWBY, please stand up so they know who you are." As they stood up, they looked towards them and Alex was shocked at what he saw. Suddenly his mind was filled with different thoughts and different possible scenarios.
'It's Ruby and Yang! And Weiss! Oh god…I am going to be yelled, and hit and yelled some more and my god do I have some major explaining to do to them here… great. Maybe they'll let me live…Nope, no chance in hell. Though who is that girl with the bow?' As he was having a hidden mental breakdown, Alexis waved at the team, all of whom but Weiss waved back. She turned to the boy noticed that he had somewhat frozen and tried to snap him back into reality.
"Yoo-hoo, you there? Did you die and freeze here?" Alexis asked as she waved a hand in front of his face
"Wha- Im fine, just something caught my attention…yes….that" He then points at some random thing in the air
"That caugh-"Alexis was interrupted as Ozpin began to speak again
"Alright everyone, that was all that needed to be discussed today. Mr. Rojo , Ms. Blau, why don't you go and meet your teammates and roommates for the next 4 years?" Ozpin looked at the two of them as he spoke. The both nodded and started walking down the ramp into the crowd to find their teammates. Despite the fact that he is the Head of the 2nd largest Company in all of Remnant, all of that was done away from the public spotlight, and as a result his people skills weren't exactly the best in the world. As soon as they got there, Alexis introduced herself to everyone and instantly started conversing with Blake. While Alex had to deal with a confused Ruby, a fuming Weiss, and a Yang who looked somewhere between upset and about to rip your testes out, staple them to your forehead and call you a unicorn. Once everyone's attention turned towards him, only one thing went through his head.
'Well shit….'
