Hello readers. This is my first story, so please review as I accept all forms of criticism for this first one. Also, note that these RWBY characters are from before Yang's battle with Mercury. So, without further delay, we begin!

Reading Ch 1: Dark Trailer

"Ooooowwww, my head." Ruby moaned, rubbing her head. She didn't know what happened. One minute she was on her bed, reading one of her weapons magazines, the next she fell through a black portal. Taking in her surroundings, she found herself in a rather lavish parlor, with lots of Goth-themed couches, a few tables and a GIANT flat screen TV on the far wall. "Where are we?"

And by 'we', she means her team, Team JNPR, Professor Ozpin, Professor Goodwitch, her Uncle Qrow, and her dad, Taiyang Xiao Long.

"Uh, did anyone get the number of the tank that hit me?" Qrow said, gripping his head in pain. On either side of him were Ozpin and Glynda.

Team JNPR was in a heap to Ruby's left. Weiss, Blake, and Yang were on there backs with swirls in there eyes. Reorienting themselves, they all looked around at where they were at. "Your guess is as good as mine little sis."

"Welcome, esteemed guests." A silken voice spoke from a chair by the fireplace.

Everyone jumped, bringing their weapons to arms. Sitting there in the chair was a young woman with long black hair, tied back in a ponytail. Her eyes were the color of jaspers. Her skin was tan, easily matching Emerald's. She wears a black cheongsam with a gold tiger print. She wears thigh-high FM heels with seven gold buckles on each leg.

"Who the heck are you!?" Qrow demanded, pointing the tip of his sword at her throat.

"There is no need for violence, Mr. Branwen." She stated, snapping her fingers, and making more sofas appear. "Please sit down, and I will explain everything."

Reluctantly, everyone sat down, but kept there weapons at the ready.

"Now, my name is Saiba. And on the behalf of my master, I am to watch over you all until he arrives." The now named Saiba stated.

"Why has your master brought us here?" Ozpin asked, observing Saiba with a calculating gaze.

"My master thought that you would enjoy a little reprieve from the stresses of recent events, and decided to bring you all here to enjoy the adventure of alternate versions of yourselves." Saiba replied.

"Alternate versions?" Jaune asked, confusion written across his face.

"Essentially, we'll be viewing our lives in an alternate version of our world." Blake explained. Saiba nodded her head in approval.

"Yes. This particular variation of your world includes the addition of modified individuals whose conceptual origins are primarily from different multiverse clusters."

"Multiverse cluster?" Ruby asked, tilting her head to the side. The others could help but think of how adorable it was.

"A cluster of parallel universes that all have the same origin universe." A voice from the corner behind Saiba explained.

Everyone, minus Saiba, turned to the source of the voice. There stood a man, approximately 6'7". His hair was as black as night, spiked and flowing down his back. He had swirling, amber eyes, and a tan complexion. He wore a crimson trench coat with black plumage around the collar and cuffs. Under that, he wore a black vest; under which he wore a crimson button-up dress shirt and a black tie. He wore black dress pants, over which were a pair of silver armor boots. Complementing the boots were a pair of silver gauntlets under his sleazes. Around his waist was a twice wrapped black sash with crimson vine work held in place by a 6-inch ruby pin. In his hands in an Iaido fashion was a black handled katana in a red sheathe that had a metal section near the top with a trigger and bullet cartridge.

"Master, I was not expecting you to be here so soon." Saiba stated as her master approached. Stopping just beside her, he suddenly knocked her upside the head with the side of his sheathe. "Ow."

"I have told you a hundred times that you don't have to call me master anymore." The man in red said with irritation clear in his voice. Sighing, he bent down and captured Saiba's lips in a chaste kiss. As he pulled away, Saiba blushed and squirmed in her seat.

"Apologies, mas-…Drake. Old habits die hard." Saiba said, looking at her clasped hands. The now named Drake merely chuckled, before turning to RWBY and the rest.

"Allow me to introduce myself. Drakius Marethyu Damnati, emperor of Da Voyd." Drake stated with a bow.

"Da Voyd?" Ruby questioned, head tilted to the side.

"My own personal pocket dimension, which you are currently in." He explained, taking a seat in the seat next to Saiba. "Now, as Saiba was saying, this alternate universe has additional individuals whose concepts are influenced by individuals of other multiverse clusters. Essentially we are showing you a multi-crossover universe."

"So who are these additional people?" Weiss asked. The rest of the RWBY crew all paying attention at this point as they would like to know as well.

"All I will say is that the individuals have strong connections to some of you." Drake stated as he pulled out a book. "This book is the story of their adventures. As you read, images and video clips will appear on the TV to provide visual support. Yang, since the protagonist has strong connections to your family, you shall be the first to read."

Taking the book from Drake's hand, she read the title. "Naruto Branwen: Dark Hunter?"

Looking at Drake, he responded by simply gesturing to the book. Turning to the first page, she began to read. "Chapter 1: Dark Trailer…?"

"It is an introductory chapter, to introduce you to the main character." Saiba replied before Yang started to read again.

Somewhere in Vacuo,

The moonlight shined on a prairie as many of the creatures of the wild began to rest, while those that hunted by night became much more careful. The creatures of darkness, known as the Grimm began to hunt for their meal. There are many different types of Grimm but these particular ones are known as Beowolves, pack hunters, which act similarly to their name sake, the wolf, these creatures however are much more sinister.

"Well that's kind of obvious." Qrow stated, while taking out his flask only to find it empty.

Drake snapped his fingers, causing a glass mug containing a dark liquid topped with foam to appear. Qrow turned to him confused, before Drake pointed to the flask. "I'm akin to the mortal definition of a deity in here. I can create whatever I need with little limitation. That particular brew is called 'Nocturnal's Night',"

"Thanks." Qrow stated as he downed a sip.

Drake nodded. "You're welcome. Also, while it may be obvious to you that Grimm are sinister creatures, it might not be so for others who read about this story."

"There are others who are reading what we are reading?" Glynda ask, casting a questioning gaze at Drake.

"Indeed. You see, there is a dimension where the people can see the events of multiverse clusters without actually knowing that that is what they are seeing. If they like what they see, they record it to share with others. The origin of a cluster, called 'canon', is sent to professionals. The branches of the cluster are sent to amateurs. You all are from canon." Drake explained before gesturing for Yang to continue.

Suddenly the alpha of the pack's ears twitched, as it heard footsteps echoing around the clearing. The alpha growled at its pack to get ready, it appeared as though their meal had come to them…a grave mistake the Beowolves would come to regret.

Soon the source of the footsteps appeared in the moonlight, having stepped out of the shadow of the forest. The light illuminated a young teen around 17 years old with black spiky hair and pale white skin. His face however, was not visible due to it being covered by a white mask bearing the design of a fox (Menma's mask). Though the Beowolves could clearly see the menacing, glowing red eyes peering out at them through the slits in the mask.

The young man was wearing a dark red armor (Hashirama's armor without the shoulder pads or side pads, only the main armor) and a black long-sleeved shirt underneath it. On his legs he wore black combat pants with two gun holsters on each side. He was also wearing a pair of black steel-toed boots and black fingerless gloves. Over his armor was a black, long-sleeved jacket with silver fur on its hem (Menma's jacket).

An image of the character appeared on the screen. Yang got a look in her eye and said, "Ooo, Mama likes what she sees so far. Now that is a fine piece of man."

Qrow leaned over to Taiyang. "Does he remind you of somebody?"

"Yes." Tai replied, immediately noticing similarities between the guy on the screen and Raven.

Drake smirked at hearing what Tai just thought.

The Beowolves began to growl and started to advance towards him. The young man only gave them a bored look, as he chuckled lightly to himself.

"I don't suppose you fellas seen a woman with black hair and red eyes wandering around lately?" His only response was a Beowolf charging at him.

"Hmph! I guess not." Faster than the eye could see he drew his guns from the twin holsters, both aiming at the charging Beowolf. "Goodnight~" he uttered in a sing-song voice. Both guns began to fire rapid succession as the poor Grimm soon fell dead, its body riddled with bullets.

Holstering his guns, he raised his right hand as a glyph appeared which split into two sections going in the opposite directions, causing a sheathed katana to appear in the man's hand. Holding it steadily in his hands he unsheathed it halfway as he stared the alpha directly in its eyes, challenging it.

"How did he do that? He just used a glyph, my family's Semblance. How is he able to use glyphs when he is not part of my family?" Weiss asked, turning to look at Drake for an explanation.

"I honestly have no idea. Information on him is very limited." Drake replied. "Anyone else have any questions?"

Ruby, Jaune, Yang, and Nora raised there hands. "Ruby goes first."

"Can I have some cookies and milk?" Ruby asked, using her best puppy eyes.

"One, I am immune to the puppy eyes. Two, there is no need to use them. Three, yes you may. And four, anyone else want anything?" Drake deadpanned, holding a finger up with each statement.

"Blueberry yogurt ice cream and a latte." Weiss replied.

"Tuna sandwich with black tea." Blake said

"Teriyaki chicken with a Strawberry Sunrise." Yang cheered with a grin.

"You're not old enough to drink Yang." Tai said sternly.

"Actually Tai, the legal drinking age is 17 in this dimension." Drake stated. "And since this is my dimension, my word is law."

Tai sighed. "Fine. I'll have some chili cheese fries and a beer."

"Pretzels." Qrow said.

"Black coffee, please." Ozpin asked politely.

"Same." Glynda said curtly.

"Um, nachos and a soda, please?" Jaune asked unsurely.

"Baklava with a glass of water." Pyrrha politely stated.

"Jasmine tea." Ren replied.

"PANCAKES!" Nora shouted excitedly.

"Very well." Drake snapped his fingers and everyone's requested consumables appeared. Two Philly Cheese sandwiches, a pint of wok-fried chicken, and two Coke Zeros appearing on the table next to Drake and Saiba. "Now Jaune, your question."

"What do we do if we have to go to the bathroom?" Jaune asked.

Drake merely point to the two doors that everyone just now noticed. "Yang, your question."

"Is Naruto my brother?" Yang asked in a rather calm tone. She had been thinking about how they were related in the AU ever since Drake mentioned that Naruto was connected to her family. There were only two theories she could come up with. A) Naruto was Qrow's son, which, while extremely unlikely, was not impossible. Or B) Naruto was her twin brother.

"He is your older twin to be exact." Drake explained. "Nora, your question."

"Will we get to see him break some legs?" Nora cheered with her usual grin.

Drake smirked. "Perhaps. Keep reading please, Yang."

Yang nodded before continuing.

The alpha accepted the challenge. Along with its pack charged at the sole human that dared insult it.

With a smirk hidden behind his mask he mutters, "Time Alter: Double Accel", his heart suddenly sped up and faster than even the Beowolves could see he disappeared, suddenly reappearing in the center of the pack before uttering another technique. "Ittoryu: Seigi no Surrashu (One Sword Style: Justice Slash)!" With a slash he killed 8 of the Grimm that surrounded him. His heart beat returned to normal.

"That's a rather interesting Semblance. His heart beats faster, pumping his adrenaline and blood faster and enhance his performance." Pyrrha states.

"Yeah, though I am more interested in the technique he used. What is that language he was using." Ruby asked.

Saiba answered this time after swallowing a bite of her sandwich. "The language is called Nihon or, more commonly, Japanese. It is an ancient language, of which, Naruto is one of the few who are fluent in it. Both my name and Naruto's are in this language. My name when translated means 'saber,' while Naruto's means 'maelstrom' or 'fishcake'. It can also refer to a type of oranges."

"…PFFFT, HAHAHAHAHA! His name means FISHCAKE! HAHAHAHAHA!" Nora exclaimed loudly, laughing. Yang, Ruby, Jaune, Tai, and Qrow joined while Blake, Pyrrha and Weiss chuckled, and Ozpin and Ren had smirks. Glynda merely pushed up her glasses, though if you looked closely, you could see the tiniest hint of amusement in her eyes.

That is when they felt it.

An oppressive pressure that weighed down on them and made it hard for them to breathe. Turning to the source, they found Drake glaring at them with a look that could freeze all of Hell. His eyes had changed from amber to a rotten yellow, the sclera turning blacker than an abyss, and his pupil turned into a slit. The walls behind him became immersed in shadows until the whole room was covered in them. Many eyes similar to Drake's eyes appeared in the shadows. When he spoke, it was as if millions of people were speaking at once. "I would suggest that you don't laugh."

The whole group looked at Drake with a good dose of fear in their eyes.

Feeling a pair of hands resting on his shoulders, Drake turned to see that Saiba had gotten up and stood behind him. She started to massage his shoulder while whispering easing words in his ear. Drake began to return to normal and relax as the shadows receded.

Turning to the still slightly scared group, Saiba said, "I apologize for my mate's behavior. He doesn't take well to people being made fun of. Yang, if you would please continue."

Snapping back to reality, Yang nodded before continuing to read.

The alpha looked in shock before its rage took over. With a roar, it charged at the man, intent on ripping him to pieces. The man only gave the alpha a quick glance before he spoke his next technique. "Judgment Slash!" The alpha passed him before stopping just a few inches away from the young man. It began to fall as its body fell apart, a diagonal slash splitting the creature's torso in two.

Twirling his blade, he smirked at the remaining Grimm with a predatory look. The supposed emotionless Grimm took a step back, hesitation clear in their stances, as the remaining pack members prepared to retreat. But the man would not let them. "Time Alter: Quadruple Accel!" Faster than before he disappeared in a black flash.

He soon appeared on top of a boulder as he sheathed his blade and sat down casually on the rock. The remaining Beowolves fell dead, all cut into different pieces.

"What's funny about that is that canon Naruto's dad was called the Yellow Flash due to a teleportation technique that allowed him to teleport to any of his custom, marked kunai. During the Third Great Shinobi War, he swiped out an enter battalion of enemy shinobi in a few seconds utilizing said technique. It is called Hiraishin no Jutsu, the Flying Thunder God." Saiba commented and smirked at the gapping looks of disbelief the less stoic members of the group had.

"You can come out now! I know you're there!" The young man said to Seemingly no one, this was soon proven false as a figure appeared (You all know what Ozpin looks like) holding a cup of coffee.

"Yep, that's definitely Ozpin." Qrow said getting a chuckle from Tai, Team RWBY, and Team JNPR. Glynda remained stoic as ever, and Ozpin just took it in stride and sipped his coffee.

"Bravo young man, that was a fine performance but, I should have expected it from someone who is widely known to have graduated pre-hunter school at the age of 14." The strange man told the masked teenager.

"He graduated at 14? That is impressive. Although, considering who his parents are, I shouldn't be too surprised." Glynda stated. Tai, Qrow and Ozpin nod in agreement.

"Flattery will get you nowhere… Now tell me, Ozpin, headmaster of Beacon Academy, why are you where?" the young man said suspiciously to the now named Ozpin.

Ozpin merely gave him a mysterious smile. "I believe you know why I am here… Naruto Branwen."

The younger man, revealed to be named Naruto, took of his mask showing a youthful face with red eyes that seem to glow in the darkness. But the most prominent feature was the claw-like scars across his right eye (imagine Shank's scars).

An image of Naruto appeared on the screen.

"Daaamn…That is one handsome man. He and I could have some good times" Yang said with a smirk. Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Pyrrha had blushes on there faces to varying degrees. Jaune just sighed while thinking about life not being fair and Ren just patting his back.

"What did you expect? He is the child of one of the most attractive Huntresses in all of Remnant." Drake commented. Tai gave him a look. "Oh, don't give that look. You know it's true. There is nothing wrong with pointing it out. Besides, it isn't like I'm going to try to hook up with her."

"So my precious little light dragon is finally graduating Signal." Naruto spoke quietly with a fond smile. Though this wasn't to prevent Ozpin from hearing, not that such a thing would be possible while standing in the headmaster's presence.

Ozpin merely chuckles at the hint at Yang's name. "Indeed and I'm here to pick you up my boy. Your Uncle Qrow would have done it but you would have been late for the initiation by the time he finally picked you up."

Everyone just turned and stared at Qrow, who was currently drinking. Qrow looked around and said, "What?"

Naruto just chuckled knowing how eccentric and lazy his uncle can be. "Oh and your youngest sister, Ruby, also impressed me enough to allow her to enter Beacon 2 years early. Putting just behind you has the second youngest to graduate."

Naruto merely raised an eyebrow, sine it seemed his youngest sister would also be joining this year.

With a smirk he replies, "Heh! It seems this will be an interesting year."

Ozpin merely chuckled as he sipped his coffee. "Indeed… Now let us go Naruto. The ceremony is tomorrow and you wouldn't want to be late now, would you?"

Naruto shook his head with a chuckle as he stored his blade, Yamato, back into his item glyph storage. "No and besides, it's been three years since I last saw my little sisters."

"Three years? Where was he all that time?" Yang asked with uncertainty. She hoped Naruto wasn't like her mother and left.

"He was looking for Raven." Saiba replied.

Ozpin noticed that their host had a Cheshire grin on his face. He asked, "Drake is there a particular reason you are grinning like that?"

"Hehehehe. Keep reading. You'll see soon enough." Drake replied, a knowing smirk on his face.

Yang turned back to the book and continued to read.

"Then let us go." Just as he said those words, a Bullhead flew overhead, before landing in the clearing and opening its ramp to let them on. As he and Ozpin made their way to the ramp, both were unaware of a woman with raven hair and red eyes watching from the shadows with a proud smile adorning her face.

"...That's…" Yang said, staring at the book with a blank stare.

"Your mother, yes. While I don't know the circumstances of your own mother's feelings and departure, theirs does indeed love them, but had to leave on a long-term mission that would have affected, not only their safety, but the safety of all of civilization." Drake stated.

Everyone was silent until Saiba decide to break it. "So, have you all enjoyed the story so far?"

"Yeah, it's kind of exciting to compare and comment on the similarities between our world and that one." Ruby said with subdued excitement. Everyone nodded in agreement.

Drake clapped his hands together. "Well, then lets continue with the next chapter, shall we? Blake, you're reading next."

chapter end

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

So, that the end of the first chapter and I am happy with the response I'm getting.

P.S. I am working on chapter 2, but I have had limited access to Microsoft Word since I graduated.
