Prolouge/Chapter 1: Memory/Welcoming
(Yes, I know this is from the IB3 trailer, but it was so awesome that i'm using it. Welcome to what I belive to be the first IB and Rwby crossover! I hope this will succeed. If your wondering why Rwby and IB? Look at the moons of both franchises. You'll understand why.)

Prolouge
A lone warrior walks in a wasteland. The image fades to black as a new one appears. The same warrior is on a boat, heading to a tower in the middle of a lake. A voice soon rings out. "I'm Remembering." The image goes away again to be replaced by the man walking towards a stange monolith. A signla of a tree behind him with glowing runes. "Remembering who I am... who I was." A new man in black and gold armor appears. He turns to something. The scenery changes to a broken tower at night. The sky is illuminated by a shattered moon. A hand wielding a sword appears. The familar warrior is walking to the tower, on a breaking bridge. A new robotic, sinister voice appears. "What do you care about this world?" A courtyard appears with a statue of a man slaying a dragon. The warrior is opening a door. He walks in alongside a seemingly robotic dog-thing. A library appears. "We've destroyed it a Dozen times before!"
A coast appeared with several buildings and a large door. It swaps to a hall of strange symbols, objects and light. The warrior is seen ascending the elavator. "I cant escape my sins. I have to pay for what I've done." The Warrior then unsheathes a double edged sword. It has a large hole as the crossgaurd and has a gem in the hilt. It has wiring carved into the core of the blade with minature holes rising up to the point of the blade. The sword is surronded by an erie blue aura. The warrior stops and looks forwards, before slashing the blade downwards.
Ralen woke up startled. His forehead covered in sweat. He quickly puts his hands over his eyes as he ponders the dream. What the hell was that? Who were those people, and why was my sword in it? He immedianlty turned to his family sword. The sword was as it always was. Clean, polished, never dusty or dulled for some reason. He always thought it was weird. But he wasn't complaining, the blade had saved his ass more times than he could count. It was ancient. Being in the Truelan lineage ever since the great war when his ancestor wielded it. Apparantly, the ancestor was called the Vile one, and wielded the balde agaisnt the other kingdoms and the grimm in the name of the kingdom of Atlas. The Vile Ones reputation was immense, His armor was designed to inspire fear into his enemies. When he used the blade, all of his enemies fled due to his pure skill. Some people even called him a human grimm. After the end of the war, the Vile One dissapered, but not before giving the blade to his son. Which inspired the family tradition of the blade being passed to the eldest child. But that was the past, as he was the last of the Truelan family after a fire claimed the lives of his faimily when he was 4.
"Well, better get some work done on the project." Ralen then got up from his bed and walked over to his workbench. As one of the youngest and top scientist's of the military, he could have his work done in his room. He honestly preffered privacy, as others would either fawn over his work, be utterly confused, or try to steal it. Thank Oum for the multiple alarms and cameras in his room that were all connected to his scroll. Ralen sat down on his stool and began working on his P.O.D (Portable Operational Dust maker). While the kingdoms had made dust generators, Ralen was trying to make it portable and safer, as they usually tended to explode in your face. It helped that he had an I.Q of 200. Ralen sighed before pausing. "P.H.A.A.I , turn on some music please?" A small circle with two spikes on his left and right sides hovered to Ralen. "What Song?" The Personal Hovering Assistant Artifical intelliligance asked. "Or should I play the usual?" "Usual is fine." Soon, the assistant played "Perfect Day" while Ralen was finishing up the P.O.D
"Its a perfect day for fading away."
Ralen was adding the final screws to the machine.
"Its a perfect day to turn away and run"
Ralen was plugging in the wires inside the machine.
"Its a perfect day to go and tie off"
Ralen activated the machine. A bright glow enveloped the room.
"Its a perfect day to waste away."
The light faded away as in the machine, was a stable and operational dust crystal.
Chapter 1
Ralen looked out the window of the hotel he recently checked in at Vale. It had been a long time since he traveled to his mothers homeland, and he already was getting nervous for going to beacon. While he was from Atlas. He always wanted to go to beacon, as his mother went there. But with all the tensions about the vytal festival later during the year, Ralen was honestly suprised his commanding officer, General Ironwood, let him attend. He promised his father figure that he would try his best at beacon. But he still was terrified. It was Beacon Academy. BEACON! The highest graded huntsman and huntress academy in Remnant! He was going to die.
Taking a deep breath, Ralen decided to head downstairs to eat some dinner before heading off to bed. Since the students that were going to Beacon were also checked in here, it might be a good idea to meet some of them. He put on his armor and attached his sword to his back, the magnetic properties of the suit making sure the sword was held in perfect stabillity and didn't move around and hit people. He exited his room and walked down the hall. Already he could see some students in the halls, A blond guy looking nervous, a mysterious raven haired girl with a bow. Two people, one with bright orange hair and the other with black and a pink stripe. Soon he turned a corner and already he met the first asshole of his future school. A tall, muscular, brown/orange haired guy was standing in front of the elevator, witth a smug grin on his face. Ralen immediantly hated his guts. Seeing Ralen, jerk-face (We've all called cardin something like this before. We all know it.) turned and stated.
"Hey, if your looking to get in the elevator, going to have to wait your turn." Ralen thought that was the most idiotic thing he had ever heard. Just because he was their means he has to wait his turn to get on the elevator. HELL NO. "Listen, we can just go on the elevator at the same time, it'll save precious time that I desperatly need." Ralen didn't always go for a diplomatic approach, but it couldn't hurt to try and broaden his spectrum of resolving conflicts.
Sadly, Jerk-Face did't quite get the message though to the lump of grey liquid and matter he called a brain.
"Nope can do, now beat it or else." Ralen had to stiffle a laugh. This guy thought he was tough, sure he had a cool looking mace but it was the only thing that he had. Not to mention that Ralen knew his own capabilities and P.H.A.A.I already ran an anaylsis on the juy. Since P.H.A.A.I was an artificial intelligance who was connected to multiple networks, companies, and other data points, Ralen could easily get info on what he needed to know at anytime via the earpiece in his armor. "This will be easy for you Ralen. The walking brain-dead Ursa is a Cardin Winchester, steortypical bully. Since where in a hotel, we can't fight our way out of this, so we need to outwit him. Mention a "Training spar at Signal 2 years ago." Also, ask him how he still has his pair after that punch. It'll tick him off and mostlikely, he'll be to dumbfounded to actually try anything."
Ralen trusted his robotic companion more than anything. So he did as ordered. "Man, I hate to get in your way Cardin, but I think I could beat your ass Cardin. Besides, if that training spar back at signal academy 2 years ago taught you anything, it's probably that you need to watch yourself. Also, how's your pair doing? That punch was really hard looking. If I took it, i'd probably be puking my guts out. Poor you for gettting hit on that special spot." Ralen used with his best mocking voice. Cardin just had his jaw droped and stared in fear and shock. Ironically, the elevator came up and with a ding, the door opened. Ralen stepped into the elevator and pressed the ground floor button. He looked at cardin with a raised eyebrow as the idiot seemed to have gone brain dead. Most likely from the shock. The elevator door closed with a ding as it started to descend to the main hall.
After a minute, the elevator stopped with a ding at the halfway mark. As soon as the door opened, a red-head with red and gold armour ran into the elevator followed by screams of excitement from outside. The woman used her semblance which enveloped the elevator with a black aura which promptly slammed the door shut. Ralen immediantly took this as her semblance being polarity. Which is a rare semblance, and the only person he knew about who used polarity was...
"I'm sorry about that, but the fans outside were ambushing me since im the 'Invincible Girl' and all that talk" Pyhrra Niko's talked out of breath.
"No problem, i'm used to the fame. It sucks, but it does help when someone gives you some ice cream on the house." Ralen said with a relaxed manner. Pyhrra looked at him with a confused manner until he finally spoke again. "I'm Ralen Truelan. Famous scientist, deadly huntsman, maker of gravity dust, descendent of the vile one, etc,etc, all that ursa crap." Pyhrra was stunned. "It's an honor to meet you."
"Same to you, I'm suprised that fans honestly havn't reconized me yet, people usually did in atlas. Oh well, new kingdom, different rules I guess." Ralen spoke. He leaned back on the handlebar as the elevator continued down. "I was going to get some dinner. Care to Join me?" Pyhrra looked confused for a moment before replying. "Thank you, but I have to go out for a while, have to talk with family." Ralen wasn't alarmed or hurt. "Thats fine." Soon the door opened, and Ralen and Pyhrra stepped out. "Well, see you later." Pyhrra said before walking away. Ralen smilled and walked towards the resturaunt to eat dinner.
