Hey there Guardians! And welcome to "A new Light in Remnant". A RWBY/Destiny 2 crossover!
Now I did state that I was doing a Project like this and this is now in the testing stage to see where this will go.
Now I've played both Destiny and Destiny 2, so I am a veteran player. However I have only done the Vault of Glass Raid int he first game. So yea call me a pleb I really don't care in all honesty. Anyway since I've gotten quite the collection of Exotic gear in the first game there will be Exotics and maybe Legendary weapons from Destiny 1 that will make an appearance in the story.
But there is something I want to get off my chest. Where da the Warlocks at? Cause mainly I've seen a lot of crossovers in this section with mainly Hunters and Titans. Not that I'm complaining or anything, I completely have the utmost respect for the other two classes but it's a little shame that solo Warlocks aren't really that common here. From my perspective anyway.
Ok I think I've rambled on long enough. I will give an equipment sneak peak of what gear I'm using at the end of the chapter.
Without further a due, enjoy!
A New Light in Remnant
DESTINY 2/RWBY Crossover
"My existence is quite a tale that would have the Cryptarcs wanting to meet me. But I have to be realistic, I can't tell them who I really am otherwise things would've gotten out of control. Having a secret bigger than anything the Vanguard could imagine has major consequences, and that ain't a risk I'm willing to take. But I knew it couldn't be kept for long, but when Dominus Ghaul and the Red Legion attacked the last city we were better prepared, but we couldn't stop him from stealing the light and taking our home. We didn't need to…because in the end, we took our home back and are now on the brink of a new Golden age. And I have been asked to lead us there".
-Entry 2-1 from Warlock Connor's journal.
Being a Guardian is something I never thought I'd be in my entire life. But hey I'm not complaining fighting the enemies of Humanity with mystical energy at my fingertips it's something that I'd never trade for anything. Though that doesn't mean I'm invincible. I learned that from facing Gaul and awaking the Traveller.
Oh where are my manners?
The name is Connor, and I'm a Warlock class Guardian, a protector of humanity and a wielder of the Travellers light. And as I said, I've been transported to the Destiny universe and I'm being truthful. I crushed Dominus Ghaul and Awoke the Traveller. And it's not just that, I killed Crota Prince of the Hive, brought down Skolas the Kell of Kells, Knocked the god Oryx the Taken King off his thrown, put an end to the Siva crysis and became an Iron Lord alongside Lord Saladin. So I guess I can say, as the main Phrase of the Destiny games.
I have become Legend.
Who would've thought huh?
Right now we had gotten an assignment from the Vanguard and were currently in orbit ready to go but going over the mission again before we took off.
"You sure this is accurate buddy?" I asked looking at my Ghost for the second time today. "Like I said before. The information that Cayde gave us is solid. He said so himself him being the Vanguard Hunter and all, then again I'm known to be wrong before". My little construct replied as the back of his chassis spun a full rotation. "You do realise that this is from Cayde of all people. And he tends to be either a smartass, an egotistical prick and the definition of sarcasm". I stated while listing off the reasons with my fingers.
"Like we don't know that already Connor and he made sure this is solid. The Vex back on Nessus have been increasing their numbers which has gotten the Vanguard's attention lately. It's too big for a Spire construction". He explained. "Which is why they sent us. Well, just another day at the office huh Glyph?" I smiled. "Couldn't be any more correct partner". He replied.
I then typed in the co-ordinates to Nessus and pushed the control sticks of my ship and activated the Warp Drive, next stop…Nessus.
When we set down on the planet we were currently heading towards the location of the increased Vex activity. The location lead to where we found Cayde in the Vex loop we found him in, I blinked down to another floating rock and then finally on the ledge where there were several Vex were just in a state in which Glyph and I dubbed 'Standby mode'. I mean they can pose as statues pretty damn well.
Oh and by several I mean a whole bunch of Minotaur's, Hydras and with some Goblins and Hobgoblins as well.
"Well…this is quite the find". I said pulling my khvostov 7g-0x from my back and cocking it. Glyph came into view and we both looked at all the constructs around the area. "That's a lot of Vex". My ghost said quietly as we walked passed the various constructs with no effort at all. "They don't seem to attack us…yet I mean but they would've done so by now. What gives?" I asked aloud. We kept walking until we saw what looked like the teleporter Cayde used in the Red War, I walked up to it and made sure not to touch it but it disappeared and a nearby warp gate appeared to our right. We then heard a sound from behind us and all the Vex Constructs came online and turned in our direction.
"Wanna tempt fate some more?" Glyph asked me as I looked at him. "Uh no thanks, I'm. I'm god". I replied awkwardly as my Ghost then disappeared in my pack and I opened fire on the nearby Vex that walked in our direction. But due to the Minotaurs and Hydras being at the front I couldn't hold them back and hold my ground. I blinked into the air and tossed a Nova Bomb and destroyed the Vex in the front row but more were coming and the field the Nova Bomb created wouldn't last long. "Glyph got the ship nearby?!" I thought to my Ghost over the gunfire I was making. "I can't get us back to orbit, something is disrupting the signal!" He replied. I then looked at the Warp gate and saw it was still open. "Thinking what I'm thinking?" I thought to him through the link we shared. "Unfortunately. Yes. Yes I am". "Get the ship in our inventory and get ready for one big leap of faith". "Done, now go!" "Here goes everything!" I said aloud as I ran for the portal and leaped into it, and the next thing I know everything went blank.
I was met with a bright light that prevented me from seeing anything. I closed my eyes and tried to readjust them the best I can by rubbing them and then opened them again n to see I was in a forest. A much better place than I was last time, in the middle of old Russia like the first Destiny game.
"Guardian? Eyes up guardian". I heard the familiar voice of Noland North which was Glyph's, making me sit up and look around. "Where are ya buddy?" I asked and my answer was my Ghost appearing right before me supporting the Warlock Ghost shell he was proudly wearing. "Ugh, if there's one thing we need to be wary of in the future. It's Vex tech, it's why I don't mess with it unlike Cayde". I said standing to my full height. "When we get back to the tower I suggest we stay away from anything Vex for a week if we can avoid it". Glyph suggested. "No arguments here buddy". I agreed whilst looking around. "Hey uh. Got any idea where we are?" I asked my Ghost. "Yea. I'll get right on that when I figure out what happened to the moon". He said as he was looking up. "Huh?" I followed the direction and saw the moon was cracked. "What the? How? How are we here? I swear the next Vex I see I'm going to go on a rampage". I said mostly to myself in shock.
"This world familiar to you Connor?" Glyph asked me as he looked back down to me. "Yea, just trying to wrap my head around the situation is kinda hard for me at the moment". I replied before continuing as I summoned my Sparrow. "I'll fill ya in on the way, we need to find an open area to summon our ship to get a better mode of transport". I explained as my Ghost then disappeared and I floored it past the trees of the forest.
"So what is this world since you seem to recognise it by looking at its moon?" "First off we're in a completely different universe from our own. And this universe is called RWBY. But ruby is spelt with a w instead of a u. I'll explain when we're in the air, but the point is that humanity is in a similar situation like the one back in our universe. However unlike the last city, humanity has been sanctioned into 4 Kingdoms where the Darkness in this world which is the Creatures of Grimm. Grimm feed of negative emotions and kill anything they can get their claws, pincers talons and such on. I mean that seem familiar?" I said asking the last question to Glyph."Kinda sounds like the Taken when you put it into perspective. But, you know. Without risking being taken and joining their ranks". "You got that right. We're coming up on a clearing". I said as we then came to an open area and was devoid of civilisation for miles.
Glyph came into view and turned to me as the Sparrow disappeared. Then our ship appeared above us which was the Eos Raptor and we were transmatted aboard. I then got into the cockpit and took the controls. "So, what's the plan?" Glyph asked as I looked at him. "First off we're gonna need information just in case. See if you can sneak your way into the CCT's systems and pull what you can. We're going to need every edge we can get in this new world". Stated as I looked forward in the direction I was flying the ship. "You know what's going to happen in this world…don't you?" He asked me in which I sighed and nodded before responding. "Yea. I do. But the way it ends is not pretty. But now that we're here, we can make a difference. And give these people a happy ending that they deserve, call it cheesy and all but it's the truth". I explained.
"I need to ask. Why didn't you warn the Vanguard…" "About the Red Legion? Oryx? The House of Wolves or Crota or even Siva earlier, or tell them where I was originally from day 1?" I interrupted and looked at my Ghost who nodded. "Would you have believed me Glyph? Zavala would've thought I was insane Cayde would be on the lines of not believing me. Ikora would've thought I was not in the right state of mind even if I'm a warlock like her". I stated. "If I told them earlier they would've taken it for granted and we might not have destroyed the Black Garden's heart. Or even be able to everything that I've done for the City to keep it stand before the Red Legion hit, having foreknowledge is not an easy thing or is it just a gift. It's also a curse knowing that you try so hard but all your efforts are in vain for the people you try to save". I sighed looking away from Glyph.
"But your foreknowledge saved a lot of people when the Red Legion attacked us. Those people are alive because of you. But when we came across the Guardians who died without their powers while escaping the city, there was nothing you could do even if you tried your hardest to try. You can't save everybody Connor". My ghost said stating the fact that it was. "But I can damn try my hardest to save as many as I can". I Replied before looked back at Glyph. "And that is something that's in my blood even before I became a Guardian and was tossed into your universe". "I wouldn't have you any other way Connor". Glyph responded in a tone that would make him smile. "Thanks buddy". I smiled back under my helmet.
"Ok where do we start?" "Well, like I said before swipe what you can from the world's CCT network without being detected and get all the basic information so you could catch up on what this world has to offer". I explained. "Undetected? Did you forget who you're talking to?" He said to me which made me smile and roll my eyes. "Also we need to know where we are in this universe's plot. I was lucky to be at the start of Destiny and become your Guardian. Which I would never trade for anything by the way".
"Feeling's mutual partner. What about our lives here? What do we do? Since I can't figure out a way to get in contact with the Vanguard". Hmm. Good question. "Well we can lay low until we figure out where we are and the closest Kingdom, preferably Vale since that's where everything takes place there". I pointed out. "I'm also going to need some casual clothing to fit in a little more but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it, right now we need to find a place and take up inventory on what we have with us so we know what we can use".
"Alright, I've scanned the CCT and have found that we're close to the Kingdom of Vale and I know a landing spot where we can set up camp that's not too close to the kingdom that we'll get noticed". "You never disappoint buddy". I smiled. "What would you do without me?" "True mate, true". I chuckled as I then turned the ship in the direction of Glyph's coordinates.
(Normal Pov)
Little did the Guardian his Ghost didn't realise that they had been followed by an individual who wore a red tattered cloak and a Greatsword on his back. He then pulled out a mobile device from his pocket and held it to the side of his head. "Hey, it's Qrow. Yea I found the disturbance alright. You believe it if I told ya".
There ya have it everybody! With this started for the rest of the story I will put this on hold until I see the feedback. Like I said before, If I get 5 positive or constructive reviews I will continue this story. Now as for the gear I was using here it is.
Armour: Ego Talon IV (Full set)
Kinetic Weapons: khvostov 7g-0x, Hawkmoon, The Forward Path, Song Of Justice VI, The Time-Warn Spire, Better Devils
Energy Weapons: Hardlight, MIDA Mini-Tool, Coldheart, Restoration VIII
Power Weapons: Gjallarhorn, Eternities edge, Persuader, Invective, Merciless, Deadpan Delivery, Dark Drinker
Ghost Shell: Warlock Shell
Sparrow: Hastilude
Ship: Eos Raptor
Now that may seem to be a bit too much but you need to take this in mind that I've been n the Destiny universe for some time and made sure that I obtained as many Legendary and Exotic weapons as I could. I mean...wouldn't you? Also I do intend to add more but they will be in storage on the Ship so that there's a somewhat Balance.
But a Guardian in Remnant? I'm not sure there was a balance in the first place. -_-
Anyway I hope you enjoyed this little teaser of such of a chapter. And in the words of Ikora Rey. May the Light Guide you in your Travels. So until then, I'll see ya next time!
Cronus Prime Out!
