Remnant's Roadie

Eddie, was never good at lying. So when they asked why he was here, he shrugged, "Must've gotten a little of my demon blood in my belt buckles mouth again. Little guy likes to thros me threw time and portals whenever that happens and I'm unconcious.". He reminisced about his entry to Ormagoden's temple, messing with the sweet buckle with a smile, only brought back to reality by something popping his hands. He got pissed.

Glynda Goodwitch was not a happy camper herself. She detests liars, "Now listen here you lout, please refrain from telling…. These…", she found herself speechless.

Eddie glared at her with an unholy look in his eyes. His eyes and skin seemed to take on an orange tint and he oozed bloodlust.

She trembled. Ozpin smirked. And Jaune, Jaune DEFINITELY did not squee like some sort of fan-girl, no matter want the records say. "Dude! You look so cool!", he stated, earning a nod of appreciation from Eddie.

Eddie pointed his finger at Goodwitch, "Look lady, I can look around me and tell it's going to be hard to believe me. But don't think I'm above striking a woman.", he sighed and mentioned under his breath, "God knows it doesn't stop them.".

Ozpin noticed the young man's change in behavior. A smile graced his lips, "We should continue this conversation elsewhere. Come with me to my office." Eddie nodded in agreement, and Ozpin turned his gaze towards Beacon's resident goofball, Jaune Arc, placing a hand on the boy's shoulder he stated, "And Mister Arc, it does my heart wonders to see you out at the crack of dawn, getting ahead in your training. However, I believe your team is worried about you. You should go see them, I believe Team RWBY is also helping in their search. I would not idle if I were you.", he finished with a smirk, earning a nod, then a shocked gasp at the mention of Team RWBY, Jaune apologized and ran off.

Eddie then followed Ozpin in silence, Glynda taking up the rear still not trusting the filthy looking lout.

Eddie sat in the clockwork tower room, reciting his tale. Telling of his last shitty concert, how he woke up in a desolate demonic future, meeting Ophelia and the Resistance, the tale of putting together their army or as Eddie preferred to call it their "World Tour", the defeat of Lionwhyte, the death of Lars, Ophelia's war with them using the Sea of Black Tears, and culminating on their grand triumph over that leather obsessed freaky demon Doviculus.

Glynda sat with a look of shock at the tale, not wanting to believe most of it. However Ozpin, he looked to be in thought. 'Not once in this tale of heroism and battle did he ever make himself out to be anything other than what he calls a 'roadie', you're very interesting Mister Riggs', he thought as he sipped his coffee.

Eddie finished off with, "…and as I was riding around in the Deuce, I ended up getting very intimate with a lovely woman called cliffside. She was a stone cold fox lemme tell ya.", he laughed loudly at that.

Glynda cringed, 'My god, he's worse than Miss Xiao Long.', she shook her head. "So say we believe you, Mister Riggs. What are your plans now?", she asked, with annoyance and a hint of something else, concern perhaps?

Eddie scratched his head, "I was hoping you could tell me about where I am, I can tell this ain't Earth, well at least not the Earth I grew up on.", he admitted with no hesitance.

Ozpin nodded, and began to fill him in. Telling him about the world of Remnant, the four kingdoms, the creatures of Grimm, hunters and huntresses, the discovery and concept of dusts, Aura, and the purpose of Academies like Beacon.

Eddie took it all in, nodding, "Sounds like you guys need a roadie.", he stated with finality. "Well, sign me up!", he was actually kind of excited.

Ozpin smirked, but Glynda voiced her concern, "No, we don't need a…'roadie' as you so eloquently put, we need more hunters and huntresses.", she stated getting a look that said 'You done?', from Riggs.

He then stood up and started off on a slight tirade, "Look lady, I don't know shit about being a hunter or anything like that. However, I do know how to set up an awesome venue, tune up the band's equipment, make them crush the souls of the crowd with beautiful fucking music, and I can only recently add demon slaying to my skillset. If you need a Hunter, your shit out of luck babe, but if you need someone who can help these kids rock out with their cocks out, I'm your man.", he stated.

Ozpin, thought to himself in contemplation. 'He downplays the events he was apart of, puts others in the spot light while making sure nothing happens behind the scenes to those he says are meant to be heroes. Mister Riggs, I dare say you are the greatest hero of your time, and you're exactly, what this world needs.', Ozpin looked at him. "Mr. Riggs, would you care to attend my school? I'd find your help most beneficial to us. We even have a Team of fourth-".

He was interrupted by a raised hand of one Eddie Riggs, Ozpin gestured at him to go ahead. "Look, I'll be honest with you. I came here, and met three people. You, gorgeous right here, and Jaune. If you want my help, you gotta let me help the kid. He's a good kid, and I see him becoming something great, like my buddy Lars. May the gods of Metal watch over his soul.", Eddie stated with finality and some grief at the end.

Ozpin questioned in mild surprise, "So you're only stipulation is that you be able to help Mr. Arc?", receiving a nod from Eddie. "Well, that can certainly be arranged I believe. Welcome to Beacon, Mr. Riggs.", he offered his hand.

"Psshhh. Call me Eddie Ozzy.", and took his hand in a firm shake. Ozpin smiled at Glynda's reaction to his nickname for her boss, then said. "Miss Goodwitch, please call for Teams RWBY and JNPR to my office, I believe they should meet their new, 'roadie'.", Eddie smiled at that, finally someone understood!

And soon the Rise of the Hunters will come….'That's actually not a bad album name, huh, gotta remember that', Eddie scratched his chin as he awaited the fated meeting. 'Damn gotta remember that one', he mentally noted.

A/N: Yeahhhhhhh, that's what I'm talking about! Power to the fucking Road crew!

Alright so yeah, dialogue heavy, and I suck at dialogue. But I think this was enjoyable. Next chapter is when we start breaking the mold after…. You guessed, a little more dialogue. If the guardian of Metal were here he'd be getting a little bit tired of all this talking.

As for why his stipulation is to help Jaune? Simple really, he feels he failed Lars, and can earn his redemption through raising Jaune to glory. That and kids got great taste in music.

So yeah, consider Eddie like, Jaune's ultimate wingman. As to why both teams were called... Call it Ozpin/Cinder Syndrome…. 'You'll know what you need to, when you need to know.' Cryptic bullshit.

Guardian of Metal: Sounds like lazy writing , if you ask me.

Me: Oi, fuck off. Go back to hell, or wherever the fuck it is you live.

Guardian of Metal: Bloody twat, "disappears in smoke and flames"

Anyway, that's all for now people. Enjoy!
