Hello everybody! I am The Burning Ruler and I am here with a brand new story… again. This one actually wasn't a request from a friend. I've been cooking this story up for a bit myself. So welcome to the first story of RWBY: The Fire King.
You know I don't own RWBY right? Of course you do. Let's get this started.
Chapter 1: Marcus Jordan
In Atlas on the first day of school
"Man. This is going to take longer than I thought." Said a boy, sitting at a desk. He had a pair of fox ears on his head, which twitched every once in a while. He was wearing a black shirt and a pair of black pants.
"Is everything alright sir?" asked a servant entering the room.
"Yes. Thank you Dennis. Could you get headmaster Ozpin on the line? I need to speak with him." Said the boy.
"At once sir." Said the servant with a polite bow.
The boy turned around, facing a screen. Not long afterwards, the screen flashed to life to show headmaster Ozpin on the screen.
"Ah, hello Marcus. What seems to be the issue?" asked Ozpin.
"Hello headmaster. It seems that I won't be able to get to beacon as early as I initially anticipated. There is too much work yet to be done. I should be there within four days, but I won't be any longer than a week at most." Said Marcus.
"Understood. I will inform your team." said Ozpin.
"Thank you headmaster." Said Marcus, hanging up.
At beacon
'Good thing he called. I had forgotten to inform team RWBY.' Thought Ozpin.
Ozpin got up from his desk and left his office. He started towards the dorm building. As he arrived he climbed the staircase and went to team RWBY's dorm room. Upon arriving at the dorm he knocked on the door. Ruby answered the door shortly afterwards. Ozpin saw that the girls hadn't unpacked yet.
"Hello headmaster. What do you need?" asked Ruby.
"I had forgotten to tell you four something. Could you follow me? Bring your belongings with you." Said Ozpin.
"Um. Ok." Said Blake, grabbing her suitcase along with the other three.
Ozpin began walking to the first floor of the dorm building and led team RWBY to a large set of double doors. He opened the doors and let team RWBY in.
"I had forgotten to mention that your team actually has a fifth member. A student took his entrance exam earlier in the year and selected the white knight piece as well. This room was constructed along with the school for just such an event." Said Ozpin.
The girls looked around the room in shock. For starters the door was twice as high and four times as wide as the other doors. The room was at least three times, if not four times as big as their old dorm room. There were five beds set up against one wall. On the wall opposite to the beds was a large TV. Also in the room was a large dog bed.
"Why is there already a TV in here?" asked Weiss.
"That was a request from you fifth member." Said Ozpin.
"I see. Thank you headmaster." said Weiss.
"You fifth member should be here in approximately four days, but he won't be longer than a week." Said Ozpin before leaving.
"Talk about luck. There was barely enough room in our old room for the four of us, much less a fifth member." Said Ruby.
"Anyone else notice that Ozpin told us that he would be here soon. HE will be. As in a boy." Said Blake.
"Hm. Hope he's hot." said Yang.
Weiss just shook her head. "Should we assign beds? Make sure Yang isn't next to the guy. Don't want her climbing into his bed in the middle of the night." Said Weiss.
"Good idea. I'll take the middle one." Said Ruby.
"Me and Weiss will take the ends. Yang can sleep between me and Ruby." said Blake.
"Alright fine. Maybe we should start unpacking now. Don't want to miss class." Said Yang.
Four days later
Blake woke up first and got into the shower first. When she got out she saw her teammates were all awake. She got dressed before receiving a message from Ozpin, asking her to come to his office to pick up her new teammate. He also made it a point to come alone.
"Hey guys? Our new teammate is here, and Ozpin asked me to come pick him up alone. I'll be back soon." Said Blake, leaving.
Earlier in Atlas
"Whew. Finally done. I can head to beacon now." Said Marcus, leaving his office and heading to his room. On his way he ran into Dennis.
"Could you prepare an airship to take me to beacon?" asked Marcus.
"At once sir." Said Dennis, leaving.
He grabbed his daggers and slipped them into his belt. He also grabbed a leather jacket and pulled it on over his black shirt.
He looked over to the side to see his pet. "Dag. Wake up. Time to head to beacon." Said Marcus.
Dag woke up and yawned before walking over to Marcus. Marcus reached up and patted Dag's head.
They both walked towards the airship that would take them to beacon. They boarded the airship and it took off towards beacon. It was a long flight to beacon, but Marcus took a quick rest. Dag nudged him just as beacon was coming into view, which woke him up.
"Ah. Beacon academy. Finally. My training will finally pay off." Said Marcus.
The airship landed and Marcus walked with Dag to Ozpin's office. They boarded the elevator and rode it up to Ozpin's office. They walked into the room and saw Ozpin at his desk.
"Headmaster Ozpin." Said Marcus.
"Ah. Hello Mr. Jordan. I assume everything is finished and under control?" asked Ozpin.
"Yes. I have my advisors informed of the situation and they have my scroll number for any large business transactions that may come up." Said Marcus.
"I see. Good. I see Dag is with you." Said Ozpin.
"I informed you that he would be arriving along with me didn't I?" asked Marcus.
"Of course you did." Said Ozpin, sending a message.
"Contacting my teammates I assume?" asked Marcus.
"Of course. I am only requesting one to come right now. The one that is the most calm and composed." Said Ozpin.
Marcus and Ozpin continued to talk until a girl walked in. Dag ran to the wall and hid in the darkest corner he could before the girl could see him. Marcus turned to see a girl with black hair and amber eyes, dressed in the school uniform.
"Hey there. I assume you are here to pick me up?" asked Marcus.
"You must be our new teammate. I am Blake Belladonna." Said Blake.
"Nice to meet you Blake. I am Marcus Jordan." Said Marcus.
"Jordan? Why does that name sound so familiar?" Blake asked herself.
"Long story. I'd like to explain it in front of the whole team." Said Marcus, looking to his side. He was confused before he spoke aloud. "Dag. We are going to be here for few years. The sooner you get to know them the better." Said Marcus.
"Who's Dag?" asked Blake.
"He's my pet. Just a sec. If you come out now I'll go into town and buy you a steak." Said Marcus, causing Dag to run out and sit next to Marcus instantly wagging his tail, which caused Blake to back up a step.
"Wait wait wait. That's Dag?" asked Blake.
"Surprised?" asked Marcus.
"Well, considering you said Dag was your pet, and it appears that he is a beowolf, yeah, kind of." Said Blake, looking at the large black wolf.
"Yes, he is a beowolf, but I assure you, he is completely tame." Said Marcus, scratching behind Dag's ears.
Blake looked at Marcus like he was insane. "How did this even happen?" asked Blake.
"That also a long story." Said Marcus, as Dag started to walk towards Blake. He smelled her hand and nudged it with his head.
"What is it Dag? You want Blake to pet you?" asked Marcus.
Dag barked a few times before nudging Blake's hand again. Blake seemed hesitant but she eventually started petting Dag's head. Surprisingly, he was actually completely still while Blake was petting him.
"Wow. He is tame." Said Blake.
"I told you. He may look scary, but he's just a big softy." Said Marcus.
"I never knew beowolves had fur." Said Blake.
"How often do you pet a beowolf when you see one?" asked Marcus.
"Fair point." said Blake, moving her hand away.
"Anyways, you should be heading back to your room." Said Ozpin.
"Right. Follow me you two." Said Blake, motioning for Marcus and Dag to follow her.
As they were walking Marcus asked about Blake's other teammates.
"Well, they are all girls." Said Blake.
"Ok, good to know, but I was actually asking about how they would react to Dag." Said Marcus.
"Well, two of them should be fine, but the third…" said Blake, trailing off.
"Not so fine?" asked Marcus.
"Right." Said Blake. "Oh. Here we are."
"Maybe bring them out one at a time? That way there will be three of you before the last one comes out." Said Marcus.
"Good idea. Just a sec." said Blake entering the room. After a few minutes she came out with a short girl with dark red hair and silver eyes, also in the school uniform.
"Hi! I'm Ruby Rose. Nice to meet you." Said the girl.
"Nice to meet you too Ruby. I am Marcus Jordan." Said Marcus. Marcus then looked to the side. "And this is Dag."
"Hello Da-" Ruby cut herself off when she noticed the beowolf standing next to Marcus. "What?" asked Ruby.
"He's tame Ruby. No worries." said Blake. Dag approached Ruby and smelled her before licking her face.
Ruby giggled. "He's very sweet."
"Only to girls. Other times he's a bit of a trouble maker." Said Marcus.
"Oh wait. How is-" Blake cut her off.
"That's why I'm bringing her out last." Said Blake.
Blake walked back in the room and brought out a girl with blonde hair and lilac eyes. She too, was in her school uniform.
"Nice to meet you! My name's Yang Xiao Long." Said the girl.
"Marcus Jordan." Said Marcus. "This is Dag." Said Marcus, gesturing to the beowolf next to him.
"Cool!" said Yang walking over to Dag and petting him without hesitation.
"Alright then. That was easy." Said Marcus.
"I'll say." Said Ruby.
"Oh wait. But… oh this should be good." Said Yang, looking back to the room.
"Now you see why I brought her out last." Said Blake, going back into the room.
Blake walked out, but the second the other girl walked out Dag ran over to her, knocking her down. He then proceeded to lick her face like crazy. The girl laughed.
"Hey Dag. Been a while you big softy." said the girl, who had white hair and blue eyes, stunning the other three girls.
After Dag finished licking Weiss' face, she stood up, before realizing something. "Wait. If you're here Dag, than that means our new teammate is…" Weiss trailed off before looking around and locking eyes with Marcus.
"MARCUS!" yelled Weiss, running into a hug with Marcus. Marcus held her close.
"It has been so long since we saw each other!" said Weiss.
"It really has." Said Marcus. "It was… what… ten years ago? Your seventh birthday?" asked Marcus.
"Yeah." Said Weiss.
"Good to see you too. It has been way to long… sweetheart." Said Marcus with a smirk.
"What?" asked Ruby.
Weiss let go of the hug and sighed. "Will you please stop calling me sweetheart? We have never once done anything more than hug." Said Weiss.
"Would you prefer I go back to Ice Queen?" asked Marcus.
Weiss just hung her head and sighed.
"Then sweetheart is what you get." Said Marcus.
"Let's just go inside." Said Weiss, walking in.
"How do you two know each other?" asked Yang.
"Yeah I mean, I thought Weiss' father hated the faunus." Said Blake.
"No. He's fine with faunus in general, he just doesn't like associating with people that he believes to be at a lower social status than his family." Said Marcus.
"And your family is at the same social status as the Schnee family? The richest family in Remnant?" asked Yang.
"First off, he is at a much higher social status, and my family isn't the richest in Remnant." Said Weiss.
"Then whose is?" asked Blake.
"That would be mine." Said Marcus.
"Your family is richer than Weiss'?" asked Ruby.
"Yeah. His is." Said Weiss.
"How? Your family owns the Schnee Dust Company." Said Blake.
"My family owns Jordan enterprises." Said Marcus.
"I KNEW I KNEW YOUR NAME FROM SOMEWHERE!" said Blake.
"What's Jordan enterprises?" asked Yang.
"Only the largest privately owned corporation in Remnant." Said Weiss. "It even owns thirty percent of the Schnee Dust Company. Marcus' father loaned my father enough money to start the company in exchange for theory percent of our profits."
"Really? How much did he loan your father?" asked Yang.
"30 million lien." Said Marcus.
Everyone in the room was shocked.
"Honestly, I drop in the ocean compared to the total wealth of my family's company." Said Marcus.
"So, are you the heir?" asked Ruby.
"Yeah. He is the sole heir to Jordan enterprises." Said Weiss.
"Actually… I'm not the sole heir anymore." Said Marcus.
"You have a sibling now?" asked Weiss.
"No. Actually, I'm the sole owner now. My dad died about six months ago. That's why it took so long for me to get here. I had to get the books straight and hire an advisor to take care of the company while I'm here." Said Marcus.
"Wow. How rich is your family?" asked Yang.
"I believe the company is worth approximately 500 trillion lien, give or take." Said Marcus.
"Wow. That is impressive." said Ruby.
"Yeah. Anyways, on to the next order of business. Dag. How the hell did that happen?" asked Blake.
"Right. It happened about fourteen years ago." Said Marcus.
