Hello, I am back with a new story. This is Remnant, is now live and here for you all to enjoy (I hope). I don't know if I want to make this one a romance or not… I'll think about it as I write. I hope that you all are having a fantastic day and if you aren't, then I hope that this story can help boost your mood. Anyways let's get on with the story.
Oh, one more thing… it's one of those 'get transferred into a new unknown world' fics… yeah so there's that, kay byeeeee.
Chapter 1: Where am I?
"What is in front of me?" a teen asked with slight sarcasm as he saw the nice view of the ocean as he sketched on the side of the cliff. He smiled seeing the clear waters in front of him. "Wow, look at the reef. The waters are really clear today and the weather is perfect."
The teen smiled as he took his time sketching. He had a light build to him from his days of running track and learning taekwondo since he was young. He was enjoying his summer break from school and ready to head into his senior year. He looked back at the city behind him in the distance and the car that he bought with his money. It wasn't a very nice car, but he loved it like a brother. Sure he could complain about his minimum job and how the car would fail to start, but instead he chose to find the brighter side of life. After a while he looked back out into the sunset beyond the ocean and continued to sketch.
He thought about his parents as he sketched with his legs over the cliff. He was remembering the last words they said to him before they passed away in a car accident.
'Take care of yourself while we're away, we love you very much,' He remembered their voices and the scene of the crash. A few tears fell onto his sketchpad before he realized and panicked a little. He quickly stood up only for the ground at the edge to crumble. He tried to fall back to save himself, but knocked the wind out of him. He fell down the cliff and would have drowned, but the next thing he felt was concrete. He looked at his surroundings and knew that he was in an alleyway. He rushed to leave the area, not noticing the cracks in the ground where he landed or the sounds on the street in front of him. The next thing he saw as he ran out onto the street was a flash of yellow, black and orange, before being hit by a vehicle.
SCREEEECH!
Yang was getting ready to head out on Bumblebee to go find out if a guy named "Junior" knew anything about her mother and where she might be. She knew that he owned a club around in Vale somewhere. She just had to find it.
"Hey dad, I'm going to head out to ride around on Bumblebee," she shouted loudly since her dad was in the shower.
"Okay Yang, just make sure that you make it home safe, you start going to Beacon in around a month," her father yelled out, making her pump her fist a little before he said one last thing. "Oh, Yang you should take Ruby with you. I'm sure that she would love to see the city too."
"Oh wow, Yang come on, let's go," Ruby said grunting a little to push her sister out the door without success. "We can go see what weapons are out there and maybe have a nice sisters' day out."
"That sounds like fun Ruby," she replied to the little sister she loved and leaned back to give her a harder time pushing. "Oh no, gravity is growing on me. I can't move."
Ruby was trying to push he sister with all her might to keep her standing up straight, but her lack of shoes and the hardwood floor would send both of the sisters down on top of each other. Yang's back was resting on top of Ruby's back as they looked at each other and laughed at what happened. Yang reached her hand to ruffle up Ruby's hair and got off of her.
"Looks like gravity has lifted up its mighty strength off of me," she said grabbing Ruby's boots for her. "Let's go Rubes."
They went into the shed and made sure that Bumblebee was ready to ride out into Vale. They grabbed their helmets to be safe and began their ride to the main city of Vale. They didn't have much of a conversation since the wind was quite loud in their ears, but they both enjoyed the speed and the feeling of the wind against them. They stopped by a small restaurant and enjoyed their meal together before Yang decided that it was time for her to go to the club.
"Hey Ruby, I have to go to a quick meeting to see someone. It's going to be a loud place so I know you won't like it there." Yang said standing up from the booth that they sat. "Do you want me to drop you off somewhere and we can meet up for ice cream later?"
"Well I do need to pick up a few dust crystals for my Sweetheart." Ruby said after putting some thought into the offer. "Just in case that it takes too long, could you point to me on the map where you are going?"
"Alright I can agree to that." Yang said as she mapped out onto Ruby's scroll. "So, let me take you over to the shop and then I will see you at the ice cream shop here."
"Alright let's go and if something happens, please let me know." Ruby said knowing that Yang could take things out of hand sometimes. Yang paid for the bill with a flirty look towards the male waiter, who may have reduced their bill because of this. Yang looked at the receipt and laughed once she was outside seeing that he wrote down his number for her. She just threw away the scrap paper and hopped onto her vehicle. "That wasn't nice of you Yang."
"Ruby, I made sure to leave an extra tip to make up for the difference he made in the bill and some extra." Yang explained to her. "I wasn't looking for a smaller bill. I was just having a little fun."
"Well that 'fun' may come back to haunt you." Ruby warned as they hopped back onto the motorcycle and drove off to the Dust store. Once Ruby got off and hugged her sister, she walked into the store and started browsing the different kinds of dust. Yang took off with a wheelie and drove to her destination.
'I hope that this 'Junior' has some information about my mother.' Yang thought to herself as she hummed one of her favorite songs. She was going down a street and was surprised when out of nowhere, someone ran out into the street and she had time to only hit the brakes before hitting the person.
SCREEEECH!
"Oh no," Yang said as she set Bumblebee to the side of the road and ran to check on the person she hit. She saw that he was breathing normally and his heart rate was fine. He started to stir and she backed off a little. "Hey, are you alright?"
The teen stood up and shook his head trying to connect everything that just happened. He looked at Yang and felt the slight soreness that he has. "Well, I would say that I died and went to heaven, but I feel pain, so that means that I am alive, which is good as well."
"Okay wow, your aura must have softened the blow and already healed you quite nicely." Yang said relieved that she didn't kill him. However he looked confused to what she said.
"What are you talking about I don't have aura." The teen said as he looked around to find his sketchpad and pencil not too far away from each other. Yang became a little skeptical that someone would lie about not having aura until she checked it with her scroll. Her eyes widened with surprise as he didn't have any what so ever.
"How did you take that blow then? I was going nearly eighty before slamming right into you!" Yang couldn't believe how lucky this guy was to be alive.
"Well I just didn't really feel much. Sure, it did hurt, but I feel fine." The teen said looking through his work before looking around. "Okay, I fell off a cliff into the ocean, how in the world did I end up here? And where is here?"
"Umm, this is the main city of Vale." Yang raised an eyebrow towards him to make sure that he wasn't someone who belonged in the asylum. She observed his reaction as he looked confused.
"Vale? Where is that? Is it a city or a country? And on which continent is Vale on?" He asked the questions at a rapid pace causing her to back up.
"Look, why don't you let me call the cops as to what happened, and I can get going." Yang hesitantly made her way back to Bumblebee with her scroll in her hand ready to call the police.
"What kind of a model is that?" he asked getting closer to inspect her scroll as he pulled out his flip phone. "That is too far advanced for the time that I come from. Just where did you get it and how much did it cost?"
"Okay look, I don't know what rock or cave you come from, but I think that you need some help." Yang said as her thumb hovered over the call button when she heard a sharp gasp.
"Why is the moon broken like that?" he asked as he fell back onto his rear in fear. "Last night the moon was full. Where on Earth am I?"
"Earth? That's a weird name to call Remnant." Yang said confused by his reaction. "And the moon has been like that for as long as I can remember."
"Remnant, is this not the planet Earth?" he asked and she shook her head and watched as he fell onto his back and cracked the pavement beneath. "So I managed to not only fall off a cliff, but also manage to land on a different planet, to which I have no means of transportation, no money, no job, no knowledge to what is in this world, and no clue of how to get back home. Well, I am alive and am with someone who could possibly help me."
"You sound a little too optimistic there buddy and how did you crack the pavement with ease?" Yang asked as she looked at him as if she were looking at an alien life form. He looked at where he was and saw that the pavement was cracked underneath him and jumped high into the air in surprise.
"Ah, how did I do that and this?!" he shouted and landed breaking the concrete underneath him and began to panic even more. Yang grabbed the teen softly to help him calm down.
"Hey calm down, I'm sure that there is an explanation to this, but first you need to settle down." She looked into his blue eyes as he calmed down.
"You're right, thank you for that miss…" he started to say hoping that she would finish the sentence with her name.
"Yang Xiao Long and you don't have to call me miss. We look to be the same age and I don't want to feel older than I am." She released her grip on him and stepped back. "So, what is your name?"
"Oh, it's Crayg Woods." Crayg said thinking about what to do now and took a deep breath. "Looks like I need to learn about this world first. This is really beginning to be one of those transported to a different dimension animes my friends are often upset with."
"Oh, you have those on Earth as well?" Yang asked out of curiosity since he brought it up.
"Yes, so there are some things that I might recognize here." Crayg pumped his fist. "Well, I might as well begin looking for a job and maybe find a place to call home."
"Well you are tough to hurt, so maybe you should become a hunter." Yang suggested as he wondered why she would want him to kill animals.
"What? No way, I could never harm any animals." He said looking at her as if she had insulted him. "I'm not going to kill even if it means for population control."
"Oh my Oum, you don't even know anything about the Grimm do you?" his puzzled look answered her question for her. "Grimm, they are soulless creatures of darkness that kill and destroy indiscriminately. Hunters and huntresses are tasked with protecting the people from Grimm. I will be heading to Beacon soon to become a huntress and protect others as well as go out to see the world, so that's what it means to being a hunter. Sorry to cause confusion."
"Oh no problem, well I guess that I'll let you get going and I'll see you around, hopefully." He said as he saw his reflection in the mirror. "Why is my hair white- you know what at this point I need to stop focusing on the little things and worry about finding shelter and some form of work."
"Okay, well I think that you could make it as a hunter, you just need to activate your aura and get you a weapon and some training in and perhaps you can take some easy work." Yang wanted to help him out even with his outrageous story, but his clothes were ragged and he seemed thin for his age despite being slightly muscular as well.
"Thank you Yang, but I just can't bring myself to kill anything, but I will fight if needed since I have been practicing martial arts since I was very young." Crayg remembered his training and how he practiced every morning.
"Well maybe you should see a Grimm and how it behaves. Then you may change your mind." She said in a serious tone. "Do you want me to take you anywhere, or maybe show you the city and where I think that you may have a good chance at getting a job?"
"I appreciate the thought Yang, but I think that I would be too imposing on you." Crayg said with a small smile, thankful for the offer. "I learn to walk first since I feel different here than I did when I was on Earth."
"Okay, well I guess that I will see you around then. I need to find someone for information." Yang said getting on her motorcycle and left Crayg to walk where he wanted to go. 'I really hope he can find a place to crash and get a job.'
Crayg watched the first person he had made contact with since he got to the new world drive off into the sunset. He brushed off the dust from his clothes and began to walk until he heard something from the alleyway.
"Psst, hey kid." A man stepped out wearing a black suit with matching hat and shoes, a red tie and sunglasses. He had a sword sheathed at his waist and had a grin as if he found gold. "I saw how tough you are by taking that motorcycle and walked it off as if nothing happened. I also heard that you are looking for a job. Well my boss is looking for someone like you, tough and powerful. And perhaps he could hook you up with a place to stay as well."
"That sounds awesome, but at the same time it sounds too good to be true." Crayg said ready to run away if needed but he saw the man in front of him hold out his hands showing that he doesn't want any conflict.
"Yes, it does sound a little too good for it to be true, but how about you just walk over to the club with me and meet the boss, then come to a conclusion, how does that sound?" the man spoke as if Crayg had nothing to lose. "If you don't like the setting, you're free to go, but we have to go now. So, what do you say?"
Crayg took a minute to think about the offer. While it did sound too good to be true, what other option does he have? Job offers don't come out of nowhere like this all the time. "Okay I accept, but if I don't like it I will leave."
"And that's fine." The man said and started to walk down the sidewalk with Crayg. "Shall we get going now?"
Crayg followed the man to a club which the lights were beginning to turn on. He wondered what kind of a job he would be offered at a club. As he walked inside, he saw more men dressed the same as the man who brought him here. His eyes took notice to two girls, one wearing mostly red, the other was wearing more white. He looked back at his ragged long sleeved shirt and sweatpants that had holes below the knees. He continued to follow the man until they were in front of a man who looked better than the rest and wasn't wearing a hat.
"Okay, why did you bring a kid here?" the man asked and the man who brought Crayg responded respectfully.
"Sir, I brought this kid here because he can take a beating and give back ten times the amount. Here is a video that I managed to get of him just jumping." The man showed his boss who turned surprised when he saw the video in detail.
"Well, I am Junior, owner of this club and I am impressed about what I am hearing, but I want to see if it is true for myself." Junior said and quickly hit Crayg with his bat and sent him across the dance floor. Crayg was shocked that he was hit out of nowhere. He got back up and he broke the floor. "Okay, we need to get that fixed before hand, but you better have some form of fighting experience, or I'm not going to be interested in hiring you."
"Look I don't want to harm anyone." Crayg said putting his hands up showing that he did not want to fight. He remembered that most of his teachings from his master were to never harm anyone if not needed. "I don't find it right to harm any living creature."
"Well looks like you're going to be on the streets again if you can't prove to me that you can hold your own." Junior said coming in for another swing but was caught in the palm of Crayg's hand and gripped tightly. Junior tried to pull it out, but couldn't even manage to slip it out of the boy's grasp. Junior smiled as he hit a button and watched Crayg's face morph into surprise as he was now holding a barrel of a rocket launcher. "If you won't fight then die."
A rocket was fired and Crayg thought that he really would die right there. He let go of the weapon and the next thing he knew was that the rocket exploded against his chest and was flung into a wall. He felt pain, but strangely enough, it wasn't nearly as bad as he thought it was. Junior began to walk away until he heard a huge crash come from where Crayg was. It was his turn to be surprised when Crayg was walking towards him without a scratch on him.
"Well, looks like that you must have a lot of aura as well to be able to take a blow like that and walk away like nothing happened." Junior went on and didn't see the punch that Crayg was about to throw. The next thing that everyone knew was that Junior was lodged into the wall, unconscious. Crayg just looked at his fist and was surprised by what happened as well.
"Oh no, I'm sorry, I didn't mean for that to happen, but I was just upset. Please don't be upset with me." Crayg got onto his hands and knees to grovel before the unconscious man as he was pulled out of the wall. He heard the two girls laughing at the state of Junior. It took a while for Junior to regain consciousness and rubbed the cheek that he was punched.
"Wow, All I have is three words for you." Junior said and Crayg was prepared for the worst. "You. Are. Hired. You start tonight and let's get you into some better clothes. No offense, but you really do look like a bum."
"Thank you, you have no idea how much this means to me." Crayg was beaming with joy, clearly happy to have a new source of income and on the first day too.
"Alright settle down, Melanie and Miltia will show you around and bring you a suit." Junior said as the twins tried to drag Crayg but had trouble with him.
"He is really heavy," Melanie said as the two of them groaned to try and drag him before giving up. "Just walk with us please."
The twins pushed him into a room and told him to be quick because they had clients to watch over and make sure that Junior would stay safe. They mentioned that there would be a Torchwick or something of the sort. He took off his ragged clothes and set them down on the ground and put on his suit. The suit was quite maneuverable as he tested some kicks and punches without feeling uncomfortable. He decided to not wear the coat, the sunglasses, the tie or the hat. He wanted to be a little different from the others and also was hoping that his boss wouldn't fire him because of this. As he left to enter the main room he found a man wearing a white coat leaving and a familiar face walk up to his boss.
He smiled and watched everything happily until Yang grabbed his boss by the precious jewels. He saw the other men gather around ready to attack when Yang let go and Junior started to walk away. Knowing that Yang knew him he started to try and sneak out of sight to try and save his job, but unfortunately Yang did see a ball of white move around and called out his name.
"Crayg is that you?" His face went ghostly pale as Junior's face turned red with rage.
"You know her?" Junior said looking at Crayg as if he sent her to sabotage his business.
"Well, yes, but we only met today and I didn't know that she would be here and-" Junior's rage was at a boiling point now.
"Forget it. You'll be fired if you don't get her out of my club now!" With that shout Crayg cowered a little, but still did not want to fight. Yang saw the hesitation and the worry in Crayg's eyes and saw that as well. She knew that it was pointless to be here now, but didn't want him to lose his job.
"Heh, this will be a piece of cake." Yang said as she kicked both Junior and Crayg and may have put a lot more force into Junior than Crayg. She watched as henchmen surrounded her and proceeded to knock them out. When it was just down to Crayg, she launched herself and knocked him down before whispering into his ear. "Play along with me and you should be able to keep your job, I hope."
"Oh, so this will be like a sparring match or for sport." He whispered finally getting what Yang had in mind. "Alright I'll play along."
He grinned and launched Yang a few feet into the air and he got back onto his feet ready to keep the act up. Yang dropped from the air and hit the floor causing a shockwave, throwing Crayg off balance and then went on the offensive. She landed a punch into his chest before he could see what happened. His instincts kicked in and began blocking every attack that Yang threw at him. When she began to slow down, he took it as an opportunity to attack with a kick to her side. She managed to block the blow with one hand and got out of his range before firing off her weapons at him, making him very surprised. He managed to deflect one of her shots and it continued on its path until it collided at the top of the pillar and broke off a good chuck of it.
The projectiles stopped and Crayg saw an opening as Yang was reloading her gauntlets. He rushed forward to throw a punch at her head. He was going a little slow to let her get a chance to dodge or block his attack. Well she dodged and made it look like that he just barely brushed her. Unfortunately, he brushed close enough to run his hand through her hair and come out with a few strands of gold hair. The next thing he knew was that she hit him in the gut with all of her might and sent him back a good distance. He looked at her face and saw red eyes filled with fury.
"You idiot!" Her shout had put fear back into him as he got up and took steps back. "I said to play along and you go and ruin my hair!"
Junior heard and was not happy. "So you were working with her this entire time! You are fired!" Those three words kept on repeating in Crayg's mind as Yang punched him in the chest and sent him flying into the pillar and broke at the bottom. The top of the pillar couldn't hold the weight and slowly began to crumble.
Yang was now focused on Junior as Crayg watched in shock of what just happened. The twins began to fight Yang as well, but she quickly put them out of commission. She slowly walked over to Junior and pushed him on the ground, unaware that the pillar was beginning to fall right on top of her. Junior smiled as he saw it happen and waited for her reaction. Yang turned around wondering what he was smiling for and her red eyes quickly reverted back into lilac and closed her eyes before a sickening sound was heard by everyone.
SLAAM!
When Yang opened her eyes she was expecting unbearable pain, but all she felt was a pebble fall and bounced off her nose. She looked to find the reason why she was not flattened out like a pancake. Crayg caught the pillar with his hands and slowly brought it back up and set it down to the side. He left for the changing rooms and a few minutes later left the club wearing the clothes he walked in with. Everyone just looked on in shock and tried their best to recover from what they just witnessed. Even Yang was having a little trouble trying to figure out how strong he was.
"Good riddance." Junior said as he stood up and dusted his suit and was grabbed and pulled to look at two red orbs that belonged on Yang's face. She reeled back a punch and sent him out the window, unconscious. She quickly jumped out to catch up to Crayg when she found Ruby instead.
"Yang, is that you?" Ruby playfully said before seeing the scene. "What are you doing here?"
"It's a long story, but we need to catch that guy quickly before he gets away." Yang said and pointed to Crayg as he walked away with his head held a little lower, sad that he lost a job that fast. "I kind of owe him one since he kept me from being flattened like a Yang-cake."
"Uugh, that was awful, but fine. Tell me what happened and we'll take him to ice cream with us." Ruby said as they began to run after him. "Hey you, do you have a minute?"
"Well I have a lot of time now actually." He said walking to find a place that he could sleep without having the wind blow at him. "What can I help you with?"
"Well I heard about what happened and we thought that it would be nice if we offered you some ice cream in return." The little girl with the red cloak spoke to him with a warm smile and he couldn't help but smile at how adorable she was.
"Ice cream does sound nice right now." He said and began to walk with them.
"I'm sorry that I made you lose your job." Yang said hoping that he wouldn't be too upset.
"It's fine. I probably would have been fired for another reason than that." He said with a smile. "My parents had always told me to look on the bright side of life, even when you can't see a light at the end of the tunnel to still keep going. I just wish that they could still be around now, or that I had someone who would miss me back at home on Earth."
"Earth, what's that Yang?" Ruby whispered to her as she never once heard about what he was talking about.
"I'll explain with him after we hear his story after ice cream." Yang said as she really wanted something sweet to help her feel better.
They spoke about what Ruby did when Yang left her at the dust store. When they arrived at the ice cream parlor, Ruby's eyes widened with wonder as she gave the most complicated order to the storekeeper, who surprisingly was very patient with her and gave her a smile. Yang ordered a strawberry sundae and wanted to pummel Crayg when he ordered a single scoop of vanilla.
"Oh come on, at least make me have to spend more than five lien on you." Yang complained after seeing him eat his single scoop with a smile. "So, what do you plan to do now?"
"Well, I don't know. I am thinking about finding a place that won't have much wind and sleep there. After that I will head over to a library and learn as much as I can about this world. And after that I think that I will have to think about what to do for a job."
"Wait you're homeless?" Ruby said worried about Yang's new friend. "You can stay with us for the night."
Yang nearly choked on the strawberry in surprise. "Ruby!?"
"That's really sweet of you, but I don't want to be imposing on either of you or your family." Crayg said as he finished his last bite before he found Ruby really close to his face.
"Nope, I am here to help people and this is the least that we can do for you so come on." Her voice and eyes were filled with a desire to help him out, whether he liked it or not. "I will be a huntress and I will help others in need of help. Stop being so stubborn and let us help you."
He just smiled and laughed lightly before admitting defeat to Ruby. "Okay, but if your parents have anything to say about it otherwise, I will leave."
"Well, Dad shouldn't have a problem and I know that mom would do the same thing if she were here." Ruby said softly and Yang placed an arm around her small frame, gently hugging her. "We lost mom years ago and before you say sorry, just know that it is fine you couldn't have possibly known."
"Well thanks, but I will still apologize. I'm certain that you mother was the best mom out there." He said with a small smile hoping to make them feel a little better when Yang spoke up.
"Definitely, she was a super mom. Baker of cookies and slayer of monsters, she even loved me like her own child, just like Ruby here." She said before a mischievous grin came across her face as her hands landed on Ruby's sides where she is the most ticklish and began tormenting her. She did it to make Ruby feel better and to show how much she loves her sister.
"NO STOP YANG," Ruby said loudly and in between laughing fits. The man running the parlor looked at the two with a smile on his face. Crayg watched everything happen and decided that it went on long enough and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"I think that she's had enough, don't you?" Yang nodded and let up from her sister's sides. Ruby was ready to pass out from all the laughing. Slowly, she recovered and settled down from it all.
"Okay, now let's hear the story and take your time and maybe give us a little idea on what Earth is like." Yang said as he told his story and what kind of a life he had on Earth. He explained how he lost his parents and had to begin working jobs to try and keep his home, but eventually couldn't keep it any longer. He told them about when he first started martial arts and how it changed his life for the better and for the worse. Their expressions changed when he explained on how he found himself in Remnant. "And just like that you're here? You have no idea on how you possibly got here?"
"Well my only theory is that as I fell down the cliff, there was a wormhole made in between our worlds. Other than that I have no clue and no way of proving anything." He said and just shrugged his shoulders. "Sorry I couldn't be much help there."
"It's alright, so the fact is that you're here now and need a place to stay. We'll be able to give you a place until you find a job." Ruby said as Yang shifted around uncomfortably at the thought of having another person living there with them after meeting them today. "I'm sure that dad will allow it."
"Well, we should probably get going then." Yang said as she looked at the time. "He's probably getting worried right now."
"Let's go then." Ruby said full of cheer and excitement. Yang paid for their ice cream and wondered if Bumblebee could hold three people, but when Crayg got on she felt her bike strain a little. "Off, now."
"Okay, well how far away is your home then?" He asked hoping that it wouldn't be much of a walk.
"It's over on that island there, so we need to get to the ships and fast." Yang said as they saw that they were beginning to get ready for their final trip of the evening. "Let's go, Crayg you should be able to make it on foot if you run."
"Okay then. I'll see you there." Crayg said as they took off. He started to run and saw that Yang was getting very far ahead of him and wished that he could run faster. After a while he felt a little lighter and found himself running faster, but not close to the speed that Yang was at. Shortly after, he caught up to them at the docks.
"Wow that was fast." Ruby said as she saw him. "Only two minutes behind us. What is your semblance?"
"What's a semblance?" He asked as Yang shook her head a little.
"Ruby, he doesn't even know what aura, the creatures of Grimm, or the Faunus are, how do you expect him to know what a semblance is?" Yang said as they boarded the ship. "Listen up because this will be a small course and I really hate schoolwork if it isn't fun."
As they rode the ship towards a small island, Yang informed him about Aura and how it works. She told him about the creatures of Grimm and how the academies train hunters and huntresses to kill them. He still didn't like the idea of killing them, but he respected how they did things here in Remnant. When Yang started to talk about the Faunus and recent events about the White Fang, his curiosity grew and he wanted to learn more about the world. He was really hoping that the Faunus would be able to live in equality.
"That's stupid to think of someone inferior or less than you just because they look different." Crayg said getting small smiles from the both of them.
"That's good to hear Crayg." Ruby said as they got closer to Patch. "Okay, now all we have to do is just hide you from dad until we can think of an explanation."
"Wait, you haven't thought of any reasons? I think that the truth would just be the best option." Crayg said and Ruby put some thought behind that idea.
"That will be plan two. Plan one is to just sneak you into the house and hope that he doesn't notice you."
"Wow, what could possibly go wrong with that plan?" Yang said full of sarcasm.
"Exactly!" Ruby said as the both of them face-palmed at the same time.
"Ruby, let's just be honest. I'm sure that he would come to understand and accept the facts." Yang said as the boat came to a stop on the island. "Who knows, he may even come to like the situation."
"I do not like this at all." Taiyang said looking at his two girls in one chair and this unknown boy that has been brought into his home in the other chair. "Your explanations leave me with more questions than a reason why I should let him stay here. So let me try to get this story straight, you came from a different world and don't know how you got here. Yang crashed into you and then met you later at a club, which you just got a job for, and then managed to destroy the club with him and got ice cream afterwards, is that all correct?"
"That is correct sir." Crayg said not wanting to be rude towards the man. "I understand if you can't let me stay here for the night because of the absurd sounding story."
Taiyang walked paced around the room in silence, thinking about what to do in this situation. After a while he looked at the girls and sighed. "Alright, you can stay here for one night okay. One night only, then you must find someplace else."
"Thank you for letting me stay over for the night." Crayg said looking up to the man who would was generous enough to let him stay. "I will be leaving first thing in the morning."
"Good to hear. And the guest bedroom is the couch, sorry about that." Taiyang said as he rubbed the back of his head. "Well, I think that I am going to turn in for the night. Good night girls."
"Night dad," they both said in unison and ran off to get ready for bed as well, leaving Crayg alone with Zwei. The dog barked at the unknown person and got close to be petted. He smiled and placed a hand on the adorable dogs head and rubbed it affectionately. Zwei stuck out his tongue and ran up the steps when he heard Ruby call for him.
Crayg slept peacefully on the couch throughout the night. He had the dream of the day that he lost his parents. In his sleep, a single tear fell down his cheek and was seen by the two sisters, unbeknownst to them that they were also being watched by a Raven with blood red eyes. The raven took off into the moonlight leaving them in silence.
Well, I hope that this is a better first chapter than my first story. I still feel that there is more room for improvement, but I am happy with what I write. I can't wait for you all to read the next chapter.
