So, Jack gives a little angry speech that makes the IMC look like a combo of EA and Nazi Germany, so if your sensitive to that kind of stuff, apologies
Please read the AN at the bottom
I don't own titanfall or RWBY, they belong to respawn entertainment and rooster teeth respectfully, now onto the reviews
Guest: Well, I gave him aura for a couple of reasons. The first, and most important, is that while I had him kick team CDNL's shit in and is a badass in his own right, I just can't see Jack being able to keep up with the stronger characters like Neo or Ruby without aura or serious luck, and I don't want to make it feel like he has plot armor, same goes for Blisk. Remember, CDNL are the bullies that just barely skimmed by of RWBY.
Chiefcornstalk: yeah, the ark being a thing that messes with time and space allows you to do some crazy shit, and yeah, the only reason it's like that is I had written it in the third person, but I hated it and after hours of converting it, I finished at, like, one in the morning and I just wanted to sleep. I definitely want to fix it, but is a future me problem

POV: Jack
"Blisk? The hell are you doing here? And my name is Jack!" I ask the Aussie as I disembark. Last time I checked, he had made his escape from Typhon."Just after I left the launch room, Marder locked me In the facility and told me; 'you may leave when you kill that pilot and his titan', fuckin' ass. I actually like you and your attitude that lets you look death in the eyes and say 'fuck you', so I decided to bite the bullet, but you bit into an artillery round by the looks of it. So, where are we?" He retells the tale of how he got to Remnant in a slightly somber tone. "Hey Jack! Whos this joker?" I hear a voice behind me and turn around to see Yang, ready to fight and giving the mercenary a death stare. "Yang Xiao Long, Kuben Blisk. Kuben Blisk, Yang Xiao Long. Blisk here is, or rather, was, a merc that was hired by the people that I and BT stopped" He nods casually as I introduce him. Yang relaxes a little but is clearly still on edge and ready to kill Blisk.
The rest of the team comes running around the corner but stop at the sight of Blisk and his titan. "Right then! Please don't kill the merc! Girls, meet Kuben Blisk, he prefers Blisk. Blisk, these are the people I have grouped up with" Blisk looks at me for a moment, then starts to laugh like a madman. "'Grouped up with?' The hell is this? College?" He gets through his laughter. I turn to him. "Yes, yes it is. and it looks like your eighteen again, so the headmaster will want to talk with you" I deadpan. He stops laughing instantly and looks at himself, then his titan. "Bloody 'ell, did the ark do anything else or just the age?" He asks, seeing a golden opportunity, I fold my wolf ears against my head. "Just one other thing that happened to me," I say as I remove my helmet. " 'ero, what are you on abo-" but I cut him off by pointing to the top of my head as I unfold my wolf ears. I could see the "Kuben has stopped responding, please restart" error in front of him. He then passes out, getting a laugh from everyone excluding the Titans."*snort* right then, we should probably get him to the nurse and make Sure he doesn't have a broken nose or something. BT, legion titan that I don't know the name of, why don't you get to know each other." I say, everyone agreeing with me. Yang and I pick the Aussie up and carry him to the infirmary.

POV: Blisk
I wake up and instantly shit a brick, that is NOT the roof of my room. "Well well, looks like sleeping beauty finally woke up, how ya feeling Blisk?" I turn to see Jack, with a wolfish grin on his face. "Oi, mind explaining the wolf ears now, that is really throwing me for a loop," I ask the hero, his grin widens. "I am what is called a faunus, basically a human with one, and on rare occasions two animal traits. For example, a pair of timber wolf ears," he twitches one of his ears for effect. "or a cat tail. The chameleon faunus can actually change his or her skin color on will To every color in the spectrum." his smile fades " Of course, since its humanity, we are discriminated. Causing the formation of the white fang, a peaceful protester group turned terrorist organization." He explains, frowning at the thought of the situation. I am a little upset now, I left the IMC because of the awful things they were doing. "So, how long was I out?" I ask his smile returns. "Well let's see, you arrived on Monday, taking what day it is into account, you've been out for a week." I am a little shocked about this, but I remember that this is a school. "Anything good happen?" I ask smirking, his smile widens. "Well, I learned how one of the teachers 'totally, with no embellishment at all' killed a giant scorpion fueled by pure hate with nothing but a lighter and a tube of toothpaste." I can't help but laugh at how retarded that is, how would that even work? "Did I mention he is overweight?" he sarcastically asks, causing me to double down in laughter. "Content sigh* it's good to see you haven't changed, 'ero" I reply, glad that this stupid situation hasn't hurt my militia friend. "Ditto, come on, the headmaster wants to meet you" he tells me. I get up and we go to see the apex here.
(LINE BREAK)
POV: Ruby
So it appears that team RWBY is now a six-man team. The new guy, Blisk, is helping Jack repaint the grey parts of BT to a forest green while Blake, Weiss, Yang, and I are eating a late dinner. "So what was the deal with Ash? I know about simulacrums, but how did an IMC simulacrum become a mercenary? Don't they put some sort of mental lock on them so they don't leave?" I overhear Jack ask Blisk, but what is a simulacrum? "Simple, I broke the lock off" Blisk replies cheekily. Yang then asks the question that I have been wondering about. "What is a simulacrum?" She asks with honest curiosity, which is rare as she usually just asks questions to manipulate the poor schmuck she has targeted.
"A simulacrum is a copy of a fallen pilot in a robot body. Hey KS, could you show them what a simulacrum looks like." He responds casually, then commands. A hologram pops up inside the bay door. It was pretty angular, with a rectangular head with a big rectangle for the eye (phase pilot). "Oh please, as if that thing could be a person" we all turned to see Weiss, looking at the hologram with what could only be described as annoyance. "Hey! What gives you the right to call people that have been given a second chance at life things" I defend, I actually find the idea of people turning into robots when they die a cool idea. "Shut up and run to your mommy, the adults are talking"
POV: Yang
Upon those words, Ruby shuts down and I get pissed "What the hell Weiss! You know that talking about our parents is off limits!" I yell at her, but she doesn't flinch. "Oh I'm sorry I practically never saw my mother, I'm sorry my father sees me as nothing more than a means to an end, IM SORRY THAT MY SISTER, THE ONLY FAMILY THAT WAS NICE TO ME, LEFT TO JOIN THE ARMY! YOUR FAMILY PROBLEMS LOOK LIKE A MODEL COMPARED TO MINE!" Weiss screams at us
"HAHA-OH FUCK!" We all turn to see Jack on the floor "and just what is so funny you mutt?" Weiss asks, her voice dripping with venom.
He gets up and gives a small chuckle, the kind of chuckle only a man who has lost everything can give. "Little detail before I make your sob story look like a comedy show. Blisk and I are not of this universe." He ignores our shell-shocked expressions, disbelieving in Weiss's case and continues.
"Now let me set the stage here. I'm five at the time, life is pretty good. A loving family, lots of friends, a good life in general. Then one day, some random asshole walks up to your home with four attack droids and tells you and your family to shove off. Naturally, your parents say no. The guy then tells the droids to open fire, no warning. I was taken by the guy. I had to watch as my friends and family either left or were gunned down. I had to watch as my hometown was turned into a mining camp. I was forced to work in those mines for three years, my life depending on if the guards were bored and choose me to torture to death. My friends, my family, I had to watch as the IMC butchered them. I had to watch as my homeworld, my life, burned. All because the company in control of the government decided that they don't have enough money. You think your childhood was hard? I watched as my parents were gunned down because they wanted to keep our home. I heard my friends screams as they were tortured for the guard's entertainment. I never got to bury my parents, the bodies made were used to fuel the machines we were using." Everyone looks at Jack with horror.
"As for the racist attitude Weiss, there is a perfect example in our universe, he wanted to exterminate a race for no reason. That is the path I see you and the SDC going down."
He storms off, clearly not caring for our shocked and horrified expressions. Even Blisk, the guy who was hired by these people, looked absolutely shocked.
"My god, he is the ghost of Tartarus four" he mumbles to himself, but loud enough for us to hear. He looks at us and sees our questioning faces."Tartarus four was an IMC world when the war between the aforementioned party and the militia, the group that Jack fought for before we landed here. I only read the report, but it was one of the most brutal IMC mining endeavors ever. Out of the three billion-odd people who lived on it, only ten thousand lived. There was only one child alive when the militia liberated it, and he was given the name 'the ghost of Tartarus four'" he explains, causing our horror to grow again, this IMC killed all those people, for resources? "I-I'll go find him" Ruby shakily says, clearly wanting to comfort him
(LINE BREAK)
POV: Ruby
I find him sitting on a bench in the courtyard, his helmet beside him, looking at the statue. "J-Jack? Are you okay?" He turns and looks at me. "Oh I'm fine, nothing like dragging the darkest part of my history, the one plaguing me to this day in my nightmares, to the light." He sarcastically replies, clearly pissed that he had brought that up. "Can I sit next to you?" I hesitantly ask, he gives a big sigh. "Sure, knock yourself out" I sit next to him, and silence. "Do you want to talk about it?" He looks at me. "We don't have to if you don't want to" I assure, I don't want to force him to do anything.
"*sigh* No, I should have talked to somebody about this a long time ago. Truth is Ruby, I'm scared. I see you guys as a family, I don't want to lose another family, but I'm not strong enough to protect you guys." He begins to cry, his wolf ears flattening against his head. "Whenever I close my eyes, I see my parents getting murdered, when there's silence, I hear my friends tortured screams. I lost everything, but then I land on remnant and meet you guys. People who are willing to go through hell and back for your friends." He starts to sob uncontrollably, losing what little composure he had left. "I-I-I want to keep you guys safe, but I'm not strong enough" he can't get any more words out, he's having a complete and total emotional breakdown, I realize. "Don't worry Jack, we are here for you, and we don't ever plan on leaving you." I touch him on the shoulder, but he full on hugs me, crying into the crook of my neck. Ignoring the small blush on my face, I hug him back, gently patting him on the back with one hand and running the other through his hair.
After a while, he calms down. He backs out of the hug, a small smile on his face. "Thank you, Ruby, I needed to get that off my chest. Actually, when I slept in your bed I didn't have a nightmare" he says, causing me to blush. He notices this and starts laughing. "Y-you jerk!" I yell as I lightly hit him, causing him to laugh even harder. "H-hey Ruby?" he stutters out as his wolf ears flatten against his head, sounding very flustered. "Yes?" I answer, curious what has him so nervous all of a sudden. "W-will you go out with me tomorrow?!"
Oh
Oh crap
We have been getting closer than I normally would with friends, and he is very handsome. "Y-yes!" I blurt out, my body responding before my mind did, not that I care. "R-really?" he asks incredulously as his wolf ears perk up, clearly not expecting it to work."I said yes didn't I?" I sarcastically ask. He gets the biggest smile I've ever seen and hugs me. "Jack, we should probably get back now, if you're ok with that," I tell him. He nods, "I'll be fine so long as Weiss doesn't try anything."
(LINE BREAK)
POV: Jack
The walk back was uneventful, thankfully. I still can't believe that I have a date with Ruby tomorrow. Yang is going to kick my ass when she finds out, but I don't care. I went into my room, changed, and got into bed. I'm so happy that a grimm would die if I touched it. I soon found myself falling asleep.
(LINE BREAK)
Yep, the ships are sailing already. Now then, onto business. I need some counsel on what Jack's semblance is, I am thinking something along the lines of pyrokinesis.
