Something I just wanted to say, this story used to be on the crossover categories but a review made me think about changing it so I did, but just changing it to a regular story didn't move it to the RWBY one so I had to delete it and post it again
Anyways, enjoy
Chapter 1: The meeting
It was a lovely day in the kingdom of Vale, the sky was clear, the sun was shining and every man, woman and child in the kingdom are in a good mood
"AARRRRRHH!"
Unless you were this guy
A boy about 17 years old was laying down on one of the many seats of an Airship, a large brown cloak covering all of his body except his head of shaggy blonde hair, the Airship itself was heading for the port town of Gallus but as you can see, motion-sickness has struck this traveller hard
"I swear I'm never riding one of these things again" the blond groaned out, his stomach churning in discomfort coursing him to almost throw-up
"Whyyyy" he whined
Meanwhile in the town of Gallus a black haired girl of the same age was walking down one of it's many roads, she wears a unique black and white outfit with a black bow on top of her head and a purple backpack cared on her shoulders
Her amber eyes searched the buildings looking for one in particular, she spotted the what she was searching for and quickly walked through the door making the bell on it ring
"This entire town and it only has one magic shop" the girls said walking through the shop to the counter, on her way she looked at the various magic items, tools and charms that lined the shelves on her left and in the middle of the shop
The old man sitting behind the counter placed down his newspaper and smiled at his customer "how can I help you"
"Do you have any books on magic, I tried looking in book shops in town but they didn't have anything" the girl asked
The old man nodded and pointed behind the girl, to the far left corner of his shop "we have a small collection over there but it's not much, there aren't many wizards around these parts"
"Thank you"
Walking to the shelf that held the books she skimmed through them for anything good 'Basics of Magic, Fire Magic 101, Peter Port's autobiography...' she thought with a bored tone until some court her eye 'these's will do'
Going back to the counter she placed the books down to pay
"let's see... 'Letter Magic for Beginners' and 'History of Magic by Professor Bartholomew Oobleck'" the old man said typing on his cash register
The girl, who thought she heard a faint cry of 'doctor' pulled out her wallet to pay
Walking out the magic store her new books safely stored in her bag, the amber eyed girl wondered what to do next
'The next train to Vale doesn't leave until 9:00 pm so...' the girl thought walking down the street but stopped when she felt her stomach growl "guess I should go get something to eat" the girl muttered to herself
Nodding she decided to find a restaurant or cafe to get some food but then she froze
The feeling of her hair standing on end and the dark intent aimed at her... someone was watching her, but who 'is it them... no, it couldn't be'
She looked around and tried to find the source of the dark intent, she spotted an alleyway and noticed something move deeper into the shadows, that's where the dark intent is coming from
"Found you" the amber eyed girl said running to the alleyway, whoever was in the alleyway saw this and ran for it "no you don't" the girl called extending her left arm out
"Shadow bind"
With those's words said the shadow at the girls feet lifted off the ground and shot towards the person she was perusing, the mysterious figure turned around and raised there own hand
In the next second the entire alleyway was filled with a yellow flash of light, scaring a few of the people passing by
The girl flinched back, closing her eyes and covering her face with her arms hoping to block out the bright light, as the light died down the girl found herself alone in the alleyway
"Damn it" she said running to the other end of alleyway, hoping to find some trace of the person who was spying on her...
*THUD*
"Oof"
"Ow"
Only to crash into someone else at the exit, sitting up she rubbed her back to try an ease the pain
"Oh, I'm sorry are you alright" a voice asked from above her, looking up she found someone offering their hand to her
Looking at the person she took in their appearance, male and about the same age as her with blonde hair and blue eyes, a brown cloak blocking the view of their clothing except for his hand witch he was holding out to her
"Need a hand" he asked, smiling nervously
The black haired girl shook herself out of her observation and grabbed his hand "thanks"
The blonde pulled her up with a surprising amount of strength but she didn't have time to think about that, looking around she tried to find any trace of the person who was spying on her...
"Bark"
Looking to the noise the girl and boy saw a black and white corgi that seemed to be chewing on what looked like a leather wallet, the girl jumped back and almost hissed at the thing
"Hey" the blonde shouted running to the dog "that's my wallet, no, bad dog, bad"
The boy and dog then commenced in a game of tug-of-war, the dog holding onto the wallet with it's teeth and the boy trying to pull it out, the sight itself was almost comical evident by the small smile on the girls face. eventually the blondes hands slipped and fell on his ass, the dog quickly ran off to a wooden fence and squeezed through a hole in the bottom, the boy seeing this crawled as fast as he could to try and catch the little corgi... with little success
Unable to catch the dog the boy sat their, comical tears falling down his face "that was all the money I had" he whined to himself
The girl looked sympathetically at the blonde and now that she thinks about it, it was kind of her fault he dropped his wallet in the first place
As the boy grieved over the loss of his precious wallet he felt a tapping on his shoulder, turning to his left he saw the girl he ran into a while ago, her amber eyes looking into his blue
'Such a pretty colour... they look almost like-' the boy shook his head to get rid of those thoughts and turn his attention back to the person in front of him who was now hold her hand out to him
"Need a hand" she said using the same line he did
"So..." the blonde boy drawled silently asking for her name, after he lost his wallet to that -in his terms- little beast the girl he ran into had offered him a meal to say sorry but he really didn't blame her, not like she told the dog to take his wallet
But he followed her anyway, she was offering a free meal and he wasn't eaten yet so why not
So that's where they are now, in one of the booths of a restaurant she took him to, a pizza in front of him and some kind of pasta dish with tuna in it for her
The girl picking up on what he was asking and decided it wouldn't hurt to introduce herself "Blake Belladonna" she answered simply
"Jaune, just Jaune"
With their introductions done Jaune decided to dig in to his free meal, but he was never one for long periods of silence so decided to ask a question that's been on his mind since they ran into each other
"So Blake" he said getting the girls attention "what exactly happened back there?"
Blake froze mid bite, wondering what to say to that, she could just say it was nothing to worry about but he may of seen the person who was following her, nodding she decided to find out if he knows anything "I was passing through when I noticed someone was watching me, I called them out and they ran, so I followed to try and catch them... but they used light magic to blind me" Blake explained, then decided to ask Jaune "did you see anything"
Unfortunately Jaune shook his head "afraid not, I was blinded by that light to. besides shouldn't you go to the police or magic knights with this, that person could be dangers"
Blake smirked and held up her left hand, summoning shadows that swirled around in her palm "don't worry, I can handle myself"
"Ah so your a wizard, you part of a guild" Jaune asked leaning forwards and taking another bite of his pizza
Blake dis-spelled the shadows and shook her head "no... actually, I was thinking about joining the guild in Vale"
"Beacon"
"Yeah, but I'm going manly for the school there, I think the guild would be a good way to earn money for tuition" Blake said but in her mind she was wondering what she was doing 'why am I telling him this'
Blake shook her head -getting a confused look from Jaune- and stood up placing some Lien on the table "this should be enough to pay for are meals, what's ever left over you can keep, call it an apologise for you losing your wallet"
"Oh, you don't have to-" Jaune was saying but was cut off when Blake walked past him, looking over his chair he called back to the girl "t-thank you"
Jaune looked back to the table and saw Blake had finished her food coursing Jaune to sigh in relief "maybe I didn't say something to make her leave"
After finishing his own meal Jaune paid for it and as Blake said there was enough money to pay for both meals with a little left over for him, the blonde smiled, he really owes Blake one
Walking out of the restaurant Jaune pulled out a piece of paper about the size of a flyer
"Alright, so were do I go for this" Jaune said reading the flyer
In one of the parks of Gallus, Blake sat on a bench reading one of the books she bought
'To wield the powers of magic Humans and Faunus awakened the ability to manifest their aura, a spiritual energy that not only protects the body from harm but also can be manipulated and transformed into various forms of magical phenomenon'
Blake smiled, immersing herself in her new book, ever since she was a child Blake has had an interest in literature and not just books about history, story's and novels have always been a favourite of hers, the ways people can create characters and entire worlds from nothing but paper, ink and their own imagination has always fascinated her to no end
*rustle* *rustle*
Blake's instincts flared from the noise next to her, quickly standing up she moved away from the bushes summoning shadows around her right hand, she tensed as the sound from the bushes grew louder...
Only for a squeal to jump out
Blake stared dumbfounded at the little fur-ball in front of her, feeling just a slightly bit embarrassed for being so jumpy because of it. The squeal looked at her and Blake swear it was almost like it was mocking her, eventually the squeal squeaked at her and ran off
Blake's shoulders dropped as she watched it leave "stupid rodent" she muttered
She was about to look away from it... until she saw it vanish before her eyes, it was almost like it ran through an intangible wall that looked like the park around her
Almost like...
"An illusion barrier" Blake said in shock, but her realization was to late because a few second later she felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck, the next thing she knew Blake fell to the ground as darkness encroached her vision
Blake had a headache
Groaning in discomfort Blake could feel she was laying on a stone floor, opened her eyes through the pain in her head... only to see black beady eyes staring back at her
"AH" Blake shouted in shock, quickly sitting up she moved away from the rat that was near her face, Blake tried to use her hands to shoo it away but found that she couldn't, looking to her hands Blake found her wrists bound by thick metal cuffs
Looking around Blake found she was in some kind of warehouse... and she wasn't alone, near her were several people all bound with metal cuffs like her and there was another strange thing about them... they were all young women
Some are unconscious and the others that are awake like her were shacking in fear
'what's going on' Blake thought
"Hey boss, the new ones awake"
Turning to the source of the new voice Blake saw a group of what she could only call 'thugs', the one that spoke was looking to another person who was sitting down on a large crate
Blake guessed that was their leader, he had straw coloured hair held back by a white bandanna and wears a black T-shirt, cargo pants, boot and his long coat down to his knees
"Is that so" the leader said standing up
"What is this" Blake shouted, she looked back to her cuffs and focused her aura to created a shadow blade, hoping to cut them off but all she got was a pain in her head
"Hahahaha, sorry girly" the man laughed, he reached into one of his pockets and pulled out a small glass vial containing a green liquid that gave off a magical glow "see this little beauty here, as long as some of this is in your system you can't use any of your magical abilities for quite awhile"
"Do you really think you can get away with this, kidnapping all these people" Blake asked the man in front of her
The kidnapper simply smiled with a smug grin as his men snicker and laughed around him "of course, the kingdom of Scelus has quite the black-market slave triad"
The straw haired man then walked up to Blake and grabbed her by the chin, she tried to move away but he forced her to look him in the eyes
"And they'd pay well for a women like you"
Blake froze, so that's what there doing, an illegal slave triad. Blake narrowed her eyes into a fierce glare, she quickly moved onto her back and used both her legs to kick the man back, the slavers henchmen looked ready to attack but stopped when their boss raised his hand
"Hihihi, well aren't you a feisty one... but no problem" the slaver raised his right hand and in front of it a yellow magic seal appeared, only a few second later a blast of light shot out of it and straight past Blake's head coursing the wall behind her to explode and crack
"But I have ways to make sure you stay in line" the man said with a cruel smile
It was night time now and under the stars a figure walked from one roof top to another, as they walked to the more secluded area of the town his cloak gently flowed in the wind making his hood fall back, revealing his blonde hair
As Jaune move to the edge of the roof he looked around at the buildings in his vicinity "they said it's been happening in this area of the town, so I should find them around here"
Suddenly Jaune's nose twitched 'that sent... what are they doing here'
Juane quickly turned to the source of the smell and sprinted in that direction
For the past several hours Blake has been sitting against the wall of the warehouse, concentrating her aura in her body, but she has to be careful if she uses to much her aura will start to show physically
Why she's doing this?
Jade Venom
That's the name of the magic paralysis they used on her, she read about how it worked, when a wizard transforms their aura into magical energy for a spell certain ingredients in the Jade Venom absorbs the energy thus stopping a wizard from using their magic
'But if I focus my aura enough, I should burn the Jade Venom from my system... I just hope I have enough aura to still fight afterwards' Blake thought, it was the only plan she could think of but it should be enough, all she needs is a few more minutes to burn away the rest of the Jade Venom
Suddenly a door opening made her jump, looking to the direction of the noise Blake sees a man walking up to the boss through an open door way
"Hey boss, the boats all ready and we have the sleep magic ready to use as soon as their on board" the henchmen said
The boss nodded and signalled some of his men to pack up "alright, get these new slaves on the boat, we're shipping out"
What he said made Blake freeze 'sleep magic, no, I still need a few more minutes'
As one of the henchmen grabbed her arm, all Blake could do was struggle like the other woman around her
"Stop struggling, you don't want the boss to discipline you know do you" the man dragging her said, a smug smirk on his lips
'Dammit, I just need a little more time...'
Unknown to everyone in the warehouse, something could be seen fall to the window in the roof
'I need help' Blake thought
*CRASH*
Suddenly, what ever was falling from the sky crashed through the window and landed in front of Blake and the man holding her arm, coursing said henchman to let go and fall on his ass in fright
Blake on the other hand stood still, staring at what... no, who landed in front of her
"Jaune"
When Jaune landed inside the warehouse he quickly realised something important
"My Oum, that hurt my legs" he said rubbing his legs to alleviate some pain
"Jaune"
The blondes attention snapped to the familiar voice that called out to him, looking in front of him Jaune saw Blake staring at him in shock, her hands bound by metal cuffs
Looking around he saw others in cuffs as well, all of them being women
'These people, their the ones...' Jaune's sights stopped on a group of men, all of them didn't have cuffs on them and the one with the white bandanna seemed to shake off his own shock and smirked
"Well, well, and who might you be" the man said smugly
Jaune looked closely at the smirking man, for some reason he seemed familiar in a way... suddenly a look of realisation came across Jaune's face and his eyes quickly narrowed into a glare
"Jaune, what are you doing here" Blake asked gaining his attention again
Said blonde's glare quickly changed into a smile "hey Blake, thought you where here. you look like you could use some help"
Blake stared dumbstruck at the blonde in front of her and could you blame her, a guy she just met today had crash through a window and land in the middle of a group of slavers, all she could do in her shock was nod slowly at his question
"Sorry, but I'm afraid your not gonna help anyone" the slaver leader said
Jaune turned back his attention the straw haired man again, he grabbed his cloak with his right hand and pulled it off his shoulders
Now that the cloaks gone Blake could take in Jaune's full appearance, he had a sleeveless tight fitting black hoodie with orange inside the hood, jeans with two brown belts on his waist, brown fingerless gloves and black boots on his feet
But that's not what got Blake's attention, it was... on something else
Blake's eyes widened at what she saw, even as the criminals around her gasped in shock. On Jaune's left shoulder was a tattoo, it was white in colour and looked like a gear surrounding a tower, lights shining within it (look up 'Beacon tower' if you want to know what it looks like)
One of the bosses men started to shake in what looked like fear "b-boss, this guy's a Guild wizard"
"That's right, I'm a wizard of the Beacon Guild" Jaune said and pointed to the leader of the slavers "Lux Leggero, you and your little group are under arrest for several account of kidnapping"
Lux Leggero, Blake heard that name before, the news said he was responsible for the attack on one of the Magic Council buildings and there's been a warrant out for his arrest ever since
Lux laughed loudly "you... your just one wizard, do you honestly think you could beat all of us" he said throwing his hands to the sides gesturing to his men, Lux then snapped his fingers "Imago"
A man in a purple shirt and grey trousers stepped forwards, a purple magic circle appeared under him and in a few seconds all of the men disappeared from view
"hahaha, you like it, with Imago's illusion magic we're completely invisible, you can't fight what you can't see" Lux said his voice echoing off the walls
'He's throwing his voice' Blake thought, she looked down at her cuffs and focused her aura and after so many hour of concentration her shadows finally appeared around her hands
'Yes' Blake thought happily
Now that she create some shadows she used her aura to will them into blades and cut off her cuffs, Blake then ran to Jaune's side ready to fight
"Jaune do you have a plan-" Blake was in the middle of asking but was cut off when Jaune ran in a certain direction, Blake was going to yell and ask what he was doing but stopped when he punched the air, but something was off, the moment his fist was fully extended the sound of hitting flesh resounded through the warehouse
And just like that it was like a mist had cleared and the purple shirted man known as Imago fell to the ground unconscious. And with that the illusion around the others was dis-spelled
Lux's smug smirk fell as soon as the illusion fell and was replaced by a look of shock "the hell"
"Your friend smells like alcohol and smoke, it wasn't hard to find him" Jaune said
Blake lifted an eyebrow at Jaune's statement 'smell, I couldn't pick anything up', as a Faunus she has a higher sense of smell then humans, so how is it that Jaune can smell something she couldn't
"Tch, eat this" Lux said holding his hand in front of him making a yellow magic circle appear and firing a beam of light magic from it, as the beam got closer Jaune widened his stance and breathed in making the beam of light seem to bend and move to his mouth, from what it looked like to the others it seemed he was eating the beam of light
Blake's eyes widened at what she saw "that's..."
Lux jumped back in shock, panic clear in his voice "I-IS HE EATING MY MAGIC"
After he had finished eating the light magic Jaune looked at the shocked faces of the people around him
"My turn" he said with smirk
A magic circle appears before Jaune mouth, his one white with what appears to be a dragons head in the centre
"Light Dragon roar" Jaune shouted shooting a twister of white light from his mouth, it impacted Lux and sent him flying into the far wall of the warehouse
"BOSS" Lux's men shouted in shock, one of them turned to Jaune and drew a sword from his back "you'll pay for that"
Blake snapped out of her shocked state and remembered there are still more criminals around them, she quickly waved her arm and created a purple magic circle
"Shadow Panther"
Shadows billowed out from the circle and took the form of the front half of a panther, a large cord of shadow attaching it to the circle, the shadow panther charged through the enemy and slashed at everyone it passed
Another man ran up behind Blake and slashed at her with his own sword, he smirked thinking he cut her in half but it was quickly wiped off his face as her body faded away into shadows, the last thing he felt was pain in the back of his head as Blake who had moved behind him delivered a kick to his head, knocking him out cold
Back with Jaune, he had covered his hands in white light "Light Dragon iron fist"
Dashing forwards he sent an uppercut straight to one man's jaw and then punched another in the stomach, knocking them both out in one blow
Lux, who had just gotten up from being knocked into a wall looked as the blonde and the woman he kidnapped were taking out his men "dammit"
Blake had just knocked out another one of the kidnappers when a blast of light hit her in the shoulder, she was able to keep on her feet but was still moved back a few feet by the force, looking at her attacker Blake sees Lux standing before her
"You've coursed me a lot trouble" Lux said anger evident in his voice
Blake eyes narrowed "did you think you'd get away with this"
"We'll just have to see, Light Gatling" Lux yelled throwing both hand forwards creating an even larger magic circle, from it shot out multiple bullets of light
Blake quickly dashed to her left even as the bullets followed her, Blake jumped into the air and left a shadow of herself behind to take the hit, placing her hands closer together Blake summoned more shadows
"Shadow Kama"
With those's words said the shadow in between Blake's hands formed into a small scythe like blade with a long shadow cored attached to the end of it, spinning it in one hand Blake throw it up to the air and embedded into the ceiling
Blake swung around behind Lux, once she landed she pulled her shadow kama from the roof and with a flick of her wrist the kama slashed at Lux's back
Lux yelled out in pain but his aura stopped any wound from forming "you annoying BRAT" he shouted swinging his arm and created a wave of light that impacted Blake, sending her flying back into a crate, her aura absorbing the damage
When Blake opened her eyes through the pain she saw Lux gathering light in his left hand witch was pointed at her
"JUST DIE ALREADY" he shouted shooting the ball of light at Blake
As the ball impacted it exploded sending debris flying, when the smoke cleared the crate and the floor around it were destroyed... but there was no sign of Blake's body
Lux looked around, searching for the shadow magic user "where are you, show yourself"
"Behind you" Blake's voice taunted
Quickly turning around the only thing Lux saw was Blake jumping out of his own shadow and send her left knees to his jaw, as he stumbled back Blake held her hands above her head as if holding a sword
"Night Slash"
With those's words said a purple magic circle appeared over the top of her hands, shadows came out of the bottom side and into her hands, forming a sword hilt and out of the top side shadows burst forth into a black katana blade, purple energy flowing around it
Blake swung her shadow sword down, creating a large black and purple wave of shadow magic that hit Lux directly, creating an explosion of magic energy
As the smoke cleared Lux could be seen on the ground unconscious
Blake stood there, breathing quiet heavily from using that powerful of a spell, but she picked up the sound of clapping from behind her and turned around to see Jaune, a smile on his face and a group of knocked out henchmen around him
"Nice work. Your really strong" Jaune said walking up to Blake
"Why didn't you say you were a wizard" Blake questioned
"You never asked"
The only thing Blake could do was stare at Jaune, once again dumbfounded
When the knights of the magic council arrived they placed Lux and his men under arrest. Standing a far bit away was Blake, watching as the criminals were escorted to prison and the women who were kidnapped are looked over by medical staff
Blake looked around trying to find Jaune among the people around, the moment the knights got here he had disappeared into the crowd as the medics checked on her
"Blake" a voice called out to her, turning to the source Blake saw Jaune walking up to her while carrying a stack of Lien in his left hand
"What you still doing here" he asked, looking a Blake confused
"I wanted to ask you something" Blake said wondering how he'll react "your... a Dragon slayer, aren't you"
Jaune looked surprised, taken aback by her statement but quickly shook it off to answer "I see, so you know about use"
Blake nodded "Dragon slayers. People who use a form of Lost Magic taught to them by Dragon's"
"I see, well anyway I wanted to give you this" Jaune said handing Blake half the stack of Lien, Blake looked down at the money in her hand then back up to Jaune confused
Jaune, picking up on Blake's unasked question answered simple "I came to this town for a mission, about the people going missing lately. And since you help me take them out, so it's the least I could do"
Blake stared at the Lien in her hand, she really only got in that fight because they kidnapped her but looking at Jaune she saw he wouldn't take no for an answer, so just decided to put it her bag
"Come on, let's get going" Jaune suddenly said, gaining Blake's attention
"What do you mean" she asked
Jaune laughed, as if she had just said some kind of joke "you said you wanted join the Beacon Guild right" he said getting a nod from Blake "so I'll take you there, get you a meeting with the Guild master"
Blake was shocked, not only is this guy -that she just met today- not only gave her half the reward money from his mission but was also offering to get her a meeting with the master of the Guild she wanted to join
"N-no... you don't have to-" Blake was saying but was interrupted when Jaune grabbed her hand and started to drag her along with him
"Nonsense, the master won't mind. besides, I owe you for the meal" Jaune said not even stopping in his stride
Blake thought about it for a second, there's no down side to going with him and their both going to the Beacon Guild anyway 'I-I guess... it wouldn't hurt'
"Alright... let's go" Blake said, now following along with the blonde in front of her
A/N: and that's it, the first chapter of my new story "Remnant: a world of magic" I hope you all enjoyed it
Also here is what some of the names mean
Gallus: is a Latin word for rooster (I used it because of Rooster Teeth)
Scelus: Latin word for crime
Lux: Latin for light
Leggero: Italian for light
Okama: damn
Jaune turned back his attention the straw haired man again, he grabbed his cloak with his right hand and pulled it off his shoulders
Blake's eyes widened at the sight, but she wasn't looking at his clothing, her attention was... on something else
"Damn" Blake muttered a blush adorning her cheeks
Jaune, hearing Blake muttering turned his attention to her "Blake?"
He tried to get her attention but she was just staring at something lower, following her line of sight he saw she was staring at...
His chest and stomach area
Because of his tight fitting hoodie, one could clearly see the shape of his abs through the materials "er, Blake what you doing" Jaune said nervously, he almost felt like he should cover himself
"Ah-wha, yeah I'm fine... wow" Blake said not even looking away from Jaune's abs
Jaune sweatdropped at Blake's actions, even the kidnappers and captured women stopped what they were doing to look in shock at the black haired girl, who was blatantly staring at Jaune's body
'So much for this being a serious situation' Jaune thought with a sigh
