After Weil's defeat at the hands of the Legendary Reploid Zero, Ragnarok is on its final moments before its destruction. Zero knew that it was too late for him to be transported back to Earth, so he waited for the inevitable, all the while thinking of the time he had spent helping Ciel and the resistance fight off against Neo Arcadia. What happend instead was something that he didn't prepare for.

Z:"Ciel,X, everyone... I found what I'm fighting for... Thank you..." Ragnarok has been destroyed and pieces of the giant space station crashed onto the Earth. However, Zero's body hasn't been found, because he's no longer on the planet. Elsewhere, 4 young students were going on their normal lives in a legendary academy when they suddenly got a report of an unknown wreckage, evidently from space. What they uncovered was not space treasure, but a red robot with flowing golden hair. This is the story of the Legendary Reploid's new life in Remnant.

5 hours earlier

Ruby Rose, a young student in Beacon, a highly proclaimed academy, training hunters to fight off the infamous creatures of Grimm, and the leader of one of its best first year teams, team RWBY, was just doing her usual checkup on her scythe/sniper rifle Crescent Rose. Everyone else, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and her half sister Yang Xiao Long, finished their classes as their semester break started.

RS:"And done!" Ruby just finished her precious scythe and wondered what awaits for her and WBY.

WS:"So we have a couple weeks before the next semester starts, we should use that time to evaluate our skills and think up on how to improve them." The heiress is adamant on becoming the next owner of the Schnee Dust Company, so she wants to improve in her fighting capabilities. The other member of the team is concerned about something else.

BB:"But what about the White Fang? They're still committing acts of violence, and to make it even worse, that scumbag Torchwick is with them." The faunus of the group speaks her concerns of what had happened in the docks. She can't sit around doing nothing.

YXL:"Blake, we still have time to look for them, besides, we should relax after what happened." The brawler (and bad pun machine) of the team wanted nothing more than to rest after running around searching for her faunus partner for several hours.

RR:"Hmm? I got a message from Ozpin. Wonder what it is?" She grabbed her scroll and told WBY whats so important that the headmaster needed to see them.

WS:"'Unknown Wreckage Found Near Forever Fall?' It looks far more advanced than our technology despite the condition its in."

RR:"All the more reason to investigate right? Besides, we might even find something valuable there, like treasure or new weapons."

YXL:"Did someone say treasure? If so, then count me in!"

And so team RWBY asked the headmaster Ozpin to investigate this wreckage, in hopes of finding valuable artifacts and weaponry.

Present

RR:"Okay, we're here at the target location."

WS:"To say that this wreckage had advanced technology is an understatement, look at it!"

BB"It honestly looks as if its from another world, but that would be impossible for such a thing to happen."

YXL:"So are we just going to stand here or what? The loot thats in there must be worth at least a hundred Lien each!"

RR:"Alright team RWBY, its looting time!"

The 4 young students entered the remains of the piece of the space station, which to their surprise, weren't able to find anything considered to be treasure or even a functioning weapon. All they found were scraps of what appears to be robots that were either shot or slashed with a sword. The doors(aside from the entrance) didn't budge even after pushing several buttons of the clearly broken control panel. The team was ready to give up.

RR:"Well this was a waste of time... Not a single thing here! Just junk and broken guns!"

WS:"? Whats this?"

A door that looks functional was spotted by Weiss.

WS:"Everyone, this door can actually be opened! This might be the one!"

RBY quickly went over to the White of the group and were excited on what's at the other side.

RRYXL:"Open it! We have to see if there's any valuable loot!"

When they went through the door, they weren't expecting something ghastly. Hundreds of robotic body parts were left all over the ground, some appeared to be still working. Their design is blue as their body with a giant red orb as their face.

WS:?! Watch out you dolt!" One of the robots shot at the red reaper and hit the young huntress at the left leg, causing a burn mark to appear on the leader.

RR:"Ahh! I had my aura on, yet I feel pain!" The blonde brawler immediately crushed the shooter's head with a punch, retiring it instantly.

YXL:"There's another door there! Lets just book it get over before we get shot at again!"

Unsurprisingly, the functioning robots shot at the 4 huntresses, with them barely able to make it to the red door with a split O symbol. The White and Black of the group decided to destroy the rest of the robots to ensure that they wouldn't be able to continue doing damage to them. After all the robots were dispatched, they analyzed the symbol on the final door.

RR:"Why does the O look as if it were sliced in half?"

YXL:"I don't know, but I'm getting a bad feeling about this door. Should we enter?"

RR:"Well we did come here to find something worth of value, let's just end this already."

WBY:"Agreed."

Upon entering, they found out that they were on top of the wreckage, it was higher than they thought. Just a little farther north from the team, Ruby spotted what appears to be a person lying on the ground.

RR:"Guys look! A person on the ground!"

YXL:"Yeesh, they look as if they've seen better days."

BB:"? Wait, why does it look as if they have cracks on their body?"

WS:"Wait, does that mean we found not a person, but a robot?"

RR:"Well that's a relief, at least they aren't technically dead. I think I can repair them just fine."

YXL:"At least we found a robot, a good looking one at that, thay actually have hair."

WS:"So what's its name?"

RR:"Wait there's something written on they're forehead. Zero?"

YXL:"Well, I guess "Zero" might be worth something if we sell it."

RR:"Yang, we're not going to sell them, we should present them to Ozpin to see if we can rebuild Zero. Wait hold up. A handle and a pistol? So I guess they did that to the other robots huh?"

WS:"Its getting late, lets just call a Bullhead and get back to Beacon."

BB:"After all of this, I just want to read something to get my mind off of this expedition."

After a while, the flying airship came in a good 15 minutes after their call and went back to Beacon with the damaged robot. After presenting the robot to their headmaster, he gives team RWBY a job well done.

O:"It appears as though the expedition wasn't entirely successful, you were able to recover one damaged robot from the wreckage, I'll allow Miss Rose to keep this Zero as her property, as well as these 2 items.

RR:"So one robot, a handle, and a pistol. Not bad for a failed expedition."

O:"I have good fate that you can take responsibility for your new member."

RR:"Wait, the robot is a new member?! So cool!"

O:"I'll leave you to fix him. And with that, have a good afternoon Miss Rose."

RR:"Alright, time to fix my robot and these 2 new toys to play with. I can't wait for it to be finished!"

The reaper spent the rest of the day fixing Zero, as well as finding out that the "handle" was actually a weapon, a beam saber.

RR:"A laser sword?! Sweet! I'm definitely going to keep you as backup."

She then discovered that he runs on a different type of energy, one that didn't run on Dust. She decided to remodel the generator so that it can run on Dust, powering Zero. She proceeded to fix and patch up the numerous cracks that were on Zero.

The repairs were finally finished at 9:30pm, and Ruby was exhausted.The night sky had already been in view, and WBY were already in their beds.

RR:"Whew! Finally finished repairing you, all I need to do is to boot you up in the morning and you can start working as team RWBY's new member. Good night Zero. See ya."

The next morning

After a simple breakfast and bath, Ruby called up the rest of her team as well as her friend Juane Arc's, team JNPR, consisting of Juane Arc, Nora Valkyrie, Pyrrha Nikos, and Lie Ren. She was excited showing her friends and sister the repaired Zero. They gathered to the cliff with the launchpads and sat on the grass as Ruby presented Zero, concealed by her blanket. After what seemed like hours of talking from her friends and sister, Ruby finally made it to the cliff and proceeded to show the red robot.

RR:"Today's the day when I present to you, the new member of team RWBY, Zero!! "

Removing the blanket, she revealed the fixed Zero, now looking better than when they found him, and on his forehead was the symbol of a burning rose, replacing the simplistic 0.The robot was red in design, and had flowing golden hair as the wind went by the 8 students. The lower front area could be better though...

JA:"Woah, he looks like a person. Though I question the design on his lower area."

The knight in training was promptly slapped by Weiss as he made the comment.

WS:"Don't you dare question his design, not because I don't want to, but because I don't want to be reminded of what it looks like."

PN:"He looks like an upgraded Atlesian knight, I wonder how he fares in combat?"

NV:"Hey Ruby, can he break legs? He totally can right?"

LN:"Nora, robots aren't supposed to harm people, remember?"

YXL:"Just boot him up already! We're tired of waiting!"

RR:"Oh! Sorry... Well, all I need to do is to put this new energy source into him, and he can start, just got to put this here and... done!"

Upon placing the new generator into the robot, Zero is starting to awaken, causing light to be created from the him, while everyone gasps in awe. Several beeps are heard from Zero as the noise started to get louder. This causes Blake to cover her cat ears due to the loud noise.

BB:"At least it isn't Ruby's whistle, but still!"

RR:"Woah, its actually working! My first time repairing a robot, and it actually didn't explode in flames!"

WS:"This light is kind of annoying though..."

After a couple seconds, the light finally dissipated as Zero had awaken once more. Everyone was amazed as Zero opened his eyes.

RR:"...Zero?"

Z:"...Who are you?"
