Aaaaaannnd Im back with this nonsense… hope you enjoy.
Or dont, Whatever
Chapter 1
...
...
I start to wake up from my slumber, hearing the sounds of a roaring waterfall nearby. Trying to get up from my sleep was a complete struggle for multiple reasons. One of said reasons was because I had been sleeping in the most awful position of all time, that is on the floor and slouching forwards. Another was the fact that I was somehow sore from the chest down to my knees, and my god was it painful.
As I start to fully wake up I try to stand up and asses my bearings. The keyword being "try" as the pain from whatever caused it, along with the very uncomfortable sleeping condition led to me performing a little kid's imitation of an elderly person who needs a crutch to walk. Needless to say my wobbly knees gave out and I immediately fall forwards and hit the ground hard. Now looking up from my new viewpoint, I can fairly say with confidence that I am in a cave, and that there was a waterfall in front of the online entrance, which also acted as my only source of light. Getting myself off the ground and into a sitting position a la criss-cross, I see a few familiar and not-so familiar items.
The first item I recognized was my trusty hand-held smart phone. It was the Samsung Galaxy S4 model that I had gotten as a significant upgrade to my old flip phone on my thirteenth birthday. Going through it I see that all of my data and downloaded content was still on there, thank god, but I had no cell service. Stuffing it into my pants pocket, I take a look at the little charms that were attached to my phone. They were a pair of "broken" charms that had a staff with an orb and a shield that were attached to one another. I put two and two together and stuff them into my pocket as well. The last thing I recognized was a bat that took many similarities with a sword. The bat was made out of blue foam and rubber, acting as a pseudo-blunt weapon, and the plastic hilt had a guard that curved and protected the wielder's hands. It struck me as odd seeing this toy here as I knew it could only exist in a fictional world. I realize the irony of my thoughts and finally examined the last few items on the floor.
There was a small device that had a clip on tag that could be used to attach it to anything with a ring or closed area. It had a few dials and buttons that I didn't know do what to the device, along with some sort of battery device with no actual battery that was attached to the left side of it, extending outwards of the to the top and right side of the machine was a bundle of wires and cables that looked to be too large for the inner workings, a the handle with said clip on attachment was at the top of the entire thing. A screen was located below the top and above all the dials and buttons. One last thing that I could tell wasn't a part of the device's original design was an earpiece and a pair of glasses that looked like goggles. Taking one last look at the device I decide to attach it to the belt of my pants and put on the eye wear and earpiece, leaving the goggles on my head.
The last item was something that I had no idea what it could actually be. It was the crystal from before, in my dream, except instead of giving off a glow of multiple colors it was glowing a tinge of green and pulsated numbers outwards. I'm serious there were numbers just floating out from the crystal. Grabbing it I try to see any other characteristics on the thing, but all I could tell it was a prismatic crystal that had numbers flying out out of it. When I try to stuff it away into my pocket it starts to glow and, I kid you not, starts pulling itself towards the device on my belt. As I try to fight the unstoppable force, the crystal attaches itself into the battery slot of the device. Another powerful glow engulfs me once more, and it forces me to shield my eyes away from the damn thing. When I open my eyes I see that the device has power and the crystal seems to have welded itself into the thing.
Taking another look over the device, I see that the screen is lit with a light green hue and had dark green text on the screen. A little hard to read, I can make out the words "Put on specs" on the screen. Curiosity gets the better of me and I pull the goggles down onto my face. I am immediately presented a slide show that was voiced over by someone with a really annoying voice.
"Hello User! Welcome to the introduction of the Convenient Adaptable Hammer Space Heads Up Display, also known as the CAHS-HUD or HUD for short. I am this unit's CL4P-TP steward A.I. designed to grant helpful tidbits, data analysis, and library of useful information of the world(s) and inhabitant(s) that you encounter, however you may call me by my handle name H3LP-TP!"
Oh god I should have known, I thought to myself. The goddamn dials, handle and huge screen should have tipped me off. I am so damn ashamed of myself.
"Hey! Why the bad thoughts buddy? Are you okay?"
Annnnd it could read my thoughts, goddamn. Okay listen here buddy, as much as I love hearing Claptrap's voice-
"Actually my name is-"
Yeah I heard it before, but as much as I love hearing your voices, keep it to a minimum 'aight?
Please take the hint, please take the hint, please take the hint.
"Why sure thing User! However before I do that I must explain to you the basics and understandings of the CAHS-HUD. First-"
Oh god this is gonna take forever.
Hey uh, listen Helptrap, I already know what a hud is so you don't need to tell me how all of this works alright?
"Well duh! Of course you know how to use a basic HUD system, however the one you're using right now is fully equipped with useful upgrades to the original devices."
Well this is gonna take a good while. Deciding to make useful progress with my limited knowledge, I decide to exit the cave with the obvious exit. The only problem was that the cave was on the side of a cliff apparently, a very, very high one. I can't even see the bottom of the fall, let alone the supposed body of water far below. I decide to make the, probably wise decision, and head deeper into the cave, in hopes of another way out of wherever the hell I am.
All while a Claptrap unit runs my ear off. Joy.
So after about a good hour or so, I had gained some useful knowledge about the fancy HUD I have.
One thing about the HUD was that in place of where the usual health bar would be, there was also two more bars that I could easily tell represented ammunition of some sort, and the experience bar. In the bottom right of my view had two maps, well technically one map. The first one was the usual radial birds-eye view of a drawn map, with the cardinal directions of North, East, South, and West. The second map was a three-dimensional figure of the area I was in, with a radius of what appears to be ten meters from all directions. Helpful when you have no idea where you are or where you are going.
The upper right appeared to be a space where allies, or people with high interest, would have their own health bar and names be located. Another similar area appeared on the upper left-hand side of the HUD. If I were to access the HUD manually I would be presented to the inventory space page that was present in every HUD, holding the sword that came with me, along with a seperate log page that held quest information, for whatever reason I would have in here, and a separate page that acted as an encyclopedia and codex. When Helptrap said this was a vastly upgraded HUD he wasn't lying.
Of course the only negative was a very biiiiiig negative.
"Of course you must always be aware of anything and everything whenever you explore new place! And be sure to loot anything and everything while moving from place to place. You never know what you could find!"
It was the fact that Helptrap would always be activated, in the sense that I can't find a way to shut him up and find a moment of silence. Also as a side not, apparently this new HUD was a prototype build that had one very slight problem. If you attach the HUD on your person anywhere, there's a slight chance that you won't be able to take it off, without the heat of an active volcano erupting to melt it off, and survive, that is. I'm able to take the goggles off, but that's my only saving grace, since the earpiece clamped down onto my ear and won't release its grip.
So yeah this is my life now, I'm exploring a cave system that appears to be made of naturally formed marble stone, with no clear indication as to what my "story" is, and with a CL4P-TP unit stuck in my head.
This is just swell.
The sad part is that even though I know what world I'm in, I still have no idea what my role is in any of all this. I half expected a quest to have been given to me in the log but nope, nothing. Although the wolf pups, which are called Infant Beowolves here, along with the Shadows and Darkside were all in the info log, creating a bestiary segment in it.
Before I dive further into insanity from excessive Claptrap monologue, I start to see a light coming from a further down the path I was in.
While exploring the cave, I walked into a sort of cave system of multiple paths and open ravines, all leading to separate dead ends similar to the cave I woke up in. Each dead end would either be just like the beginning cave or would lead back the way I came from. The cave system was huge, so I wasn't surprised when during my trip I ended up getting myself turned with absolutely no useful help from Helptrap. I would occasionally run into open roofed (open floored?) areas in the cave system where sunlight would beam down on the area, however as I got closer to the actual exit of this damn place I noticed a few things.
One was the fact that absolutely no creatures of darkness, Heartless or Grimm, showed up at all to attack me while I was lost, the only things that were in the cave system with me were just small bats that I rudely disturbed. Another fact was whenever I reached an area that had an open ceiling, the gap would only show off the cliffside wall I was still in, or the huge open area would somehow still be covered with a layer of water although there was breathable air. The last thing that was worth noting, at least to me, was how similar this cave system looked and felt like a certain Cavern of Remembrance I had seen in my world, from the open walled views of waterfalls, to the marble and the slow shift to blue stone that I could honestly believe was mythril, and the numerous amounts of excavation gear and machinery I saw when I ran into the mythril sections of the cave.
Now if only I had some headphones then I could listen to very fitting music right now.
"Oh, I can help you with that!"
[Now playing : Cavern of Remembrance 2.5 Remix]
Wait you could do that!? And since when?!
¨Of course I could do that! Were you paying attention? The CAHS-HUD lives up to its name in adaptability. Any and all technology the HUD interacts with can be universally connected to the HUD, allowing it to be a sort of universal remote of sorts. I felt another piece of tech on you when you picked me up and automatically connected it to me, allowing the data to be logged and transferred into the HUD. Say you got a lot music on here! Got any dubstep in here?"
Huh. Well ain't that convenient? Guess that's going to the inventory then.
I pull out my phone and keep in just in front of the HUD's display, and in a small green flash the phone gets deconstructed into a bunch of ones and zeroes, all getting sucked up into the machine (for a lack of a better term).
Goodnight, sweet prince. I'll never forget you.
"Wow, over dramatic much?"
Shut up.
Another good hour has passed before I end up finding myself in a small passageway leading to hopefully both the source of the light and a way out of here.
Making my way forwards I'm gifted with the sight of lush, green forest appears to expand towards the direction behind me, from where I emerged from, and further outwards in front of me. Taking a look behind me I notice that the cave I exited was relatively similar to another cave entrance that a certain blonde knight and spartan enter in the near future. There were several differences however to this one in comparison to the one we all know about. Firstly was the fact that there were no markings that could be found anywhere near the cave, essentially leaving it unmarked. Secondly was the fact that the entrance was located in clear sight of a clearing with the actual forest being a good chunk of distance away. Finally was the fact that I could tell this was underneath Beacon since, if one were to assess their surroundings, Beacon should be located high above on a far off cliff. Said academy was nowhere in sight so I just followed process of elimination as to where it could be.
"New area found! Updating map and other information!"
The little A.I. bot decided that then and there would be a time to just yell that in my ear. As I try, and fail, to soothe the pain in my ear I notice the minimap grow extremely small, until the area I was in, aptly named the Cavern of Awakening, was just a small picture of a cave with the title underneath it, leaving a huge blank map around it and my marker. With the pain somewhat gone now I begin to decide my next course of action, that is until the nearby shrubbery bean to shake and make noise.
"Hostiles detected! Beginning combat tutorial!"
Wait what?
When the noise stops, another one of those Infant Beowolves popped out and decided to start a fight with me. The HUD on my waist starts glowing and soon numbers flow out of it into my right hand. They all float into place of what looked like the bat in the inventory, at a very rapid pace I might add, and eventually a small orb surrounded by more ones and zeroes forms at the tip and moves down to the bottom of the figure. In a quick flash the numbers were no more and in my hand was the blue bat.
[Now Playing : Future Masters KH BBB]
Well ain't this fitting?
"The first thing to know when ever in combat is your own ability to protect yourself and attack any and all enemy targets. Do you know the basics of combat and self defence?"
This is one of those forced tutorial deals isn't it?
Before I get an answer the pup decides to try and get a swipe on me. I was able to avoid getting slashed and kept myself facing the pup. Before long another two pups decide to join their friend and try to slash me too. I couldn't just move out of the way so I did the only sane thing I could have done and lifted the bat in a position to block the attacks. Thankfully, either by them just being weak or by luck, the pups end up being staggered by the block and are left briefly vulnerable. Capitalizing on the action I decide to perform a wide swing with the bat and hit both before focusing on one of them.
"User aware of combat and self defence. Tutorial shortened by [75] percent. Introduction to analysis and attribute effectiveness shall begin."
Cool unskippable tutorial, greaaat.
"As you may have noticed the upper left area of your POV has a new addition to it. This area will hold basic information on the hostile enemies you encounter in an area. This will include health, name, and attributes involving the elements, buffs, etc. Only basic data is available at the time, however through continuous combat with an enemy or overcoming multiple of the same type of enemy data will be collected to better improve your fights against previous enemies and other tasks."
Oh… that's actually very useful. Thanks HUD.
As the bot mentioned the upper left of my POV had gotten the addition of the beowolf pups health bars. What interested me was how there was the name of the enemy, in this case Infant Beowolf, had a sort of "times three" mark next to it. I assume its for dealing with multiple of the same type of enemy, but the name was located only above one health bar, however the bar had markings indicating different levels of health. To top it all off there was a small picture of the damn things on the left side of everything.
This is a really well made HUD if I gotta be honest. I'm impressed.
Deciding to end this early I decide to try throwing my bat at the pups and get rid of at least one of them, in the style of the ever famous Strike Raid that I'm sure no one knows what I'm talking about so I'll just shut up now. Anyways the plan was throw the bat, hit two pups, get rid of one, hit the other, and bash the third one's head in.
..At least that was supposed to happen before I learned and realized something, well a few things, of great importance. One was the fact that throwing your weapon only works as a desperation tactic in a one sided battle. Another was how that move I tried to perform was something I regularly did in my lucid dreams. And finally I realized that I was no longer in said dream and made the horrible mistake of throwing a perfectly good bat at a pup, which missed by the way, and now all three pups are looking at nice delicious meal.
"...The hell was that $H!+ User?!"
So having a semi lucid dream don't mean jack when everything you did with pseudo-muscle memory was all in your actual dreams, and said dreams don't just give you awesome fighting powers.
Yeah I was fubared.
Not a day in and already I was gonna die. Man talk about cliche am I right?
"Well I lived a good two hours, twenty six minutes, and forty nine seconds. Goodbye User, it was nice knowing you!"
...Shut up.
As I waited for the embrace of mutilation a deus ex machina in the form of a woman wearing a white, long-sleeved top with a, ahem, wide keyhole neckline, along with a high-waist black skirt with black stockings, black heeled boots, a purple tattered cape, and oval glasses appeared from somewhere above on the cliff. She had green eyes along with blonde hair that's lighter than "Yellow's" hair, and was put into a small bun on the back of her head, and for some reason kept a curled bang on the side of her face. This woman was the trusted right hand woman of the guy in charge of the academy I was just underneath, and has a fitting name as the living allusion she was.
This was the great Glynda Goodwitch, the combat professor (yes you heard/read that right) of Beacon Academy.
And based on the look of her face she was very annoyed by my presence here. I mean, I would be too if a kid just showed up out of nowhere.
When she landed I kid you not, she landed on one of the pups, practically snapping its spine in half and then just straight up kicking the second one away into the forest like a damn soccer ball. To say I was intimidated was an understatement.
"Well it seems Ozpin was right on his assumption that a child was somewhere near this area." she muttered under her breath. She began walking towards me in a calm manner, completely disregarding the fact that there was still a third and untouched pup behind her. "Young lady I hope you understand the consequences of trespassing on not only Beacon property, but as well as infiltrating the Emerald Forest two days prior to the initiation process." As she spoke the pup decided to try and attack her but was just fung to the other side of the clearing from seemingly no outside force, at least until I noticed she had her infamous, depending on who you asked, riding crop in her right hand.
I was brought out of my stupor when she stood right in front of me and looked me right in the eyes, comically upwards slightly due to my slight increase in height.
"Uh-um, uh well-" is what I would have continued to mutter if two things didn't happen. One was how my voice was slightly higher pitched now and immediately pieced together her 'young lady' comment, and two was her exasperated sigh. I noticed she pulled out a small device from seemingly nowhere and looked at the screen and then back to me.
"Come with my miss, it seems Headmaster Ozpin would like to have a word with you."
And it was at this moment that I knew that my story would finally begin, or at least it'll begin real soon.
"Awesome! Aw man, this'll be the start of an awesome adventure! We'll be exploring new lands, meet new people, kill badass monsters that want to kill us every single way to Monday! All starring me and you my new best friends! Yep the two amigos, Helptrap and… Hey! I just realized something. I never learned your name buddy, and I can't just keep calling you User. So! What is your name?"
…
…
Damn, I gotta think of a fitting name while I'm here.
Sooooo to make a long story short I learned a few things about myself and about the world I lived in now.
And in no chronological order they were
1. I had absolutely no combat practice besides throwing fissts and swinging a dead fish
2. Not only did my body's shape change but so did my voice
3. Beacon is a pretty cool looking school that trains deadly warriors
4. I'm probably in for a long and uncomfortable conversation with old man Oz
In terms of describing Beacon as a whole, imagine a castle from any fantasy world, expand that to hold four large separate dormitory buildings with their own separate courtyards that all lead to and from the amphitheatre, literally located right in front of the main entrance path. Behind the main building held another courtyard that connected to the suppossed educational facilities along with the library, dining hall, and the famous Beacon Tower. Which is where the good witch of Beacon is taking me.
"Wow, would you look at this place! This place looks like some sort of fairy tale brought to life! Hey do you think they have a dungeon in here too? Oo oo, they probably have a vault here too! Well, not the kind of vault that I'm probably thinking but still, a vault. What do you think bestie?"
Right this guy is still here.
It's kinda scary how quickly I've gotten used to him already.
Dunno. Based on the world that this is I wouldn't put it past them to have an actual dungeon to fit the motif.
Hopefully the HUD can't just read or scan my memories, or if it can that it would have to ask for permission to do so.
As we were headed for the tower, I noticed a distinct lack of people around the campus. Now it might just be because I'm an uncultured swine who hasn't technically finished high school yet, but I thought college academies had some of their students still on campus whenever they were on break or had cancelled school days on short notice. It's honestly kinda unnerving to see an empty school facility in, uhhh latish morning to early afternoon. When we reached the tower it was still void of any people besides us two. We finally reached the well beloved elevator that everyone, and i mean everyone loves to make fun of. Glynda steps inside, leaving room for me to enter with her, and after begrudgingly stepping in with her, we make our ascent to Ozpin's office.
And the awkward silence begins.
…
…
"Ahem. So uh, n-nice weather today right?"
"Woooooow. Real smooth buddy."
Hey shut up! I'm doing my best here.
"If your best is digging a six feet deep hole and then burying yourself in it, then this is your best."
Since when were Claptrap units so snarky?
…
…
"Uh… my name is uh… Violet…"
"Really? That's the best you could come up with? Even I can tell that's not your name!"
They don't need to know that! And this coming from H3LP-TP?
"You may refer to me as Ms. Goodwitch. And be sure give the man you're meeting with respect."
I could literally feel the cutthroat knife that just cut all the awkward tension in the elevator, and just get replaced with immediate fear. Oh god I think the elevator just stopped moving for a bit. I hope that my conversation with Ozpin won't be a horrible excuse of a light chit chat.
Eventually, after a good extra minute, the elevator doors open and reveal the room that was Ozpin's office. The room wasn't too extravagant in terms of decoration. There was a seemingly unreachable second floor of the room that had a guard railing, which was all supported by columns with very little design. From where we entered I see another door to the left of where we came from, along with a small table with a vase on it. Looking around I notice the clockwork aesthetic made its way into the room as huge gears and cogs could be seen moving just above our heads. Finally I look forwards and see the man himself, sitting in his clockwork chair behind his large glass desk, in front of the huge window that overlooked the entire school.
"Alright so here's the deal. Don't stare into his eyes, or he'll think that you're a creep."
Shut up, I'm not taking advice from you of all people.
"Why hello there young ma'am. I was wondering if you would care to answer a few questions, if you would kindly?" Ozpin began, folding his hands together on his desk, his face calm and stoic but I can tell he's just assessing the situation. "I don't believe I've introduced myself, my name is Ozpin, I'm the headmaster of this academy, Beacon. I see you've met with one of my trusted staff members." He motions towards Glynda who, who I noticed made her way to his right side behind the desk. Looking back at the headmaster I see a mug in his right hand that I definitely knew wasn't anywhere on the desk before, and from the smell I could tell was actually hot cocoa. Silence engulfed the room, only being interrupted by the sounds of the cogs and gears moving up above. I knew eventually I had to break the silence, so I decided to just rip off the proverbial band aid. Bowing slightly, I introduce myself.
"Ahem. Hello there Ozpin. My name is Violet. It's a pleasure to meet you, uh sir."
Nailed it.
"Ya sure did 'Violet'."
Alright you need to stop right now before-
"While I'm glad to be know your name I would greatly appreciate it if I were able to put a face to a name." Ozpin's sudden proclamation (more like demand) stopped the soon to be argument in my head and makes realize another thing I failed to notice while I was here. I had the black coat on right now with the hood up, covering most of my face with the goggles on. At that revelation I mentally slap myself in the face and proceed to remove the goggles first, although I'm sure the anti-face technology of black coat still covered most of my face, and then pulled the hood down. Once my hood was down I could just barely see Ozpin's eyes widen just slightly while Glynda had her eyebrows I knew anything about Oz and Glynda, through canon and fanfics, it was that it can take a lot to bring out a reaction out of the two, more so Ozpin than Glynda.
It's silent for a good two minutes before I break the ice, in the quite a suave manner if I do say so myself.
"...What, there somethin' on my face?"
Yep, suave.
After a moment Ozpin gestures his hand outwards to his left, and behind me I think, and speaks once more.
"That door over there leads to a small washroom. Please feel free to use it."
I look behind and sure enough there was a door that I don't think anyone had ever seen before in my world. I quickly thank Ozpin and excuse myself to use the washroom, using this as a chance to come up with some believable backstory for who I am, and figure out what caused the two most stoic people of Remnant to be… startled? Intrigued?
Once the teenager stepped into the other room, and the door was fully shut, the two professors began to discuss the new found information they've gained within the past few moments.
"Ozpin she's-"
"I know."
"Then you know that this is either highly improbable or nearly impossible."
"Glynda, you and I both know that there is no such thing is impossible, it is just as you had said. This is simply a highly improbable scenario."
It was at this point that Goodwitch turned to face her superior, a slight frown on her face.
"Even so the odds of not only not one, but both of us meeting Ms. Rose just last night, but just so happening to meet someone who looks identical to her in many ways? It still is too high of an improbability. And not only that, there are the other two characteristics that are still worth noting, even if one is more unsettling than the other."
I could hear them talking between themselves once I entered the little washroom, and I didn't need to listen to know they were talking about me.
Man when Ozpin said this was a small washroom he wasn't kidding. The only things that were in here were just the toilet, sink, a towel rack and mirror. And it was cramped up into a small space the size of a closet.
Well beggars can't be choosers, as they say.
I decide to try and clean myself up a bit and move towards the sink. Once I turned it on I splash some water in my face and dry myself with the small hanging tower nearby, as unsanitary it may be. Afterwards I decide to take a quick once over of my reflection.
Alright hair still the long black with red tips- wait a second…
Red-tipped black hair…
...okaaaay moving on…
Okay scar still in place, hair in check, ears on top of-
...ears…
...lion ears… on my head…
...okay now I'm getting worried. First I get the main pro-tag's hairstyle, then I have a set of animal ears on my head. What's next, I see that I have a pair of silver eyes and become a macguffin?
…
…
Oh god…
"While it is quite disconcerting that someone who looks quite similar to young Ruby Rose in just twenty four hours of meeting her, I believe you are correct to point out the other interesting details of this person." Ozpin said this as he stood up, and moved to face out of the large pane window, seeing large flying vehicle approaching in the distance, mug in hand.
"You saw it too Ozpin. While this girl is similar in appearance to Ms. Rose there is still the importance of her origins. The ears clearly depict of faunas heritage, more specifically that of a lioness. It is quite clear that this girl is not from here."
"You are correct Glynda, she is not from here." Ozpin stated as he went to drink from his cup.
"What's even more concerning are her eyes Ozpin. There is only one other person who has that same color iris. If this is some sort of machination of his doing, then we will have even more to worry about."
"It is quite concerning, however I believe that there is an explanation to her sudden appearance, as inconceivable and albeit asinine as it may be. We both know what it was exactly his researched was based upon on, even if there was no way to properly prove his first of many theories."
Goodwitch donned a baffled and surprised look towards her superior, determining whether or not he was implying something almost equivalent to insanity.
"Ozpin, you don't mean-"
"Did you happen to see the shooting star last night Glynda? I believe that the star was heading from the city towards Beacon, but I wasn't sure. But with what I know now, the star and the child, I believe it is fair to assume that he was right. And that we should be worried."
My eyes...they were an almost sickly yellow-orange color, a color that is most recognizable to only one man. Said man was able to cause the destruction of numerous worlds, carelessly destroying the lives of many innocents all for the goal of reaching an ultimate power, the source of every world and immense wisdom, yet no one truly knows what it could be. Said man was able to disconnect himself from his corporeal form and traverse throughout the ages by taking refuge in suitable hosts.
And now I have his same eyes.
A minute or so had passed after the professors discussion when the young teenager reemerged from the washroom, hood and goggles on. Both the headmaster and combat instructor were facing out of the window, leaving the anomaly to gain their attention and continue their previous discussion. Clearing their throat, the teenager was able to make the adults aware of their presence. Very soon afterward the headmaster turned and stood behind his desk, looking directly at the hooded teenager.
"I hope you were able to take care of everything while you were in there." Ozpin stated. A nod was all he received.
"I will only ask a few questions, and when I do I expect you to answer them with a simply yes or no answer. Is this understood young lady?"
Another nod.
"Very well. And do please answer these questions honestly. Now to begin, do you know where you currently are miss?" A nod. "Are you well verse in combat, if the show from earlier was any indication of your prowess then there seems to be little." A hand was raised in response, moving in a somewhat wavy motion signifying 'eh, sorta' as an appropriate answer. "Now… are you from another world?"
…
"It's just that, there is only one other person who looks quite awfully similar to you, and I just spoke to her not too long ago."
…
The teenager gave a shaky nod towards the headmaster, their anonymity no longer retainable.
"Well now. Why don't you tell us how you got here young lady? And if you could, try not to skip on any of the smaller details. I would very much like to know how someone from another world could end up in ours."
After one last brief moment of silence the stranger took a few steps forward to stand directly in front of Ozpin, the only barrier between the two being the glass desk.
"Well sir, I hope you don't have anywhere you need to be in a few moments, because if you do I will have to give you the short story as to how I got here." the young stranger began.
"I assure you, I won't be needed anywhere in the near future. So do please go into as much detail as you can." Ozpin replied, taking a seat behind his desk and beckoning his partner to move towards him.
"Alright then. Well, I guess I'll start at the beginning, even if it really isn't much..."
Aight, well… best be explaining what I'm doing now.
Before any of you get the wrong idea about things I just want to preference things first off. Originally I was going to make the story revolve around the OC and their story when being part of Remnant and the KH universe. However that was scrapped because I just realized how many OC revolved stories there are in fandoms and plus, I just realized how bland it would be to follow THIS OC in particular. Plus I wanted to try and follow the main cast as much as possible without ruining everything in the process like I did in the other story.
This may change in the future however, since while I wanna make this story fluent I also don't want to just have this story about thee OC/SI. It'll fluctuate in the sense there will be parts revolving the main cast and other parts will be in Noir's POV.
Plus I realized how much of a Gary Stu (Mary Sue?) and Deus Ex Machina this guy can be at times. The HUD just serves to fix this later with the character interactions.
If you played the games, then you can safely assume what these differently titled chapters are going to be like.
One other I want to know from, whoever reads this garbage really is, am I using the line breaks properly, are there too many, did I murder the chapter with commas?
Anyway if you happened to like this story (thank guest reviewer) then keep an eye out for the rest of this crossover fic. Review and share this story with others.
Or don't. Whatever. I ain't your MoM. (get cuz MoM is… nvm)
This has been everyone's living disappointment - V.
