A/N: I decided to go on a short typing binge for the Reminiscent crossover. Strange. I never had this kind of motivation before in my life. Oh well, I hope you enjoy the story! I might cover the entire RWBY storyline from Season 1 two 3 (hahah see what I did there), but that depends entirely on how well this goes.

Unidentified Planet, Emerald Forest. About 20 Minutes From Chapter 3.

The SPARTAN, now known as E-4157, runs for his life amid a hail of trees, dirt, explosions and firey blasts. His mouth constantly spouting a stream of curses as he runs, any cover he might have used eradicated by the sentient glowing fireball behind him. What could have gone so wrong? He's almost blasted off his feet as his shields flicker, trying to block the heat and debris from getting to him, but he continues sprinting on.

Unidentified Planet, Emerald Forest. About 5 Minutes Prior.

"So, what exactly do the artifacts you people are searching for look like?" The SPARTAN asks. "Anything can look like an artifact in a bunch of decaying structures."

Blake shrugs, now walking beside the SPARTAN. "Professor Ozpin only said that the artifacts will look familiar, and they'll all be in the same spot. As to what they exactly are, I have no idea."

So far, the SPARTAN's almost annoyed at how Blake rarely talks without prompt. 'Nothing like the rowdy bunch in War Games. I almost miss that chaotic simulation. ...What am I saying, of course I miss that place. Bragging rights for days, man!' A pause in his thoughts. 'Maybe I should try to get more information about this Beacon thing.' "So Blake, what's being enrolled in Beacon like?"

"It's interesting, in a way. I haven't gotten to see much of it other than a little bit of the campus grounds and the room everyone had to sleep in before being assigned official dorms after completing the initation."

"You... both genders had to sleep in a crowded room?"

"Mhmm."

'The hell? What sort of school even does that, anyway? Even the Infinity has their locker rooms separate. It's not like-' Surprisingly, Blake speaks first.

"Does the E in your ID stand for anything?"

"Huh? Oh. Yeah. Everest."

"Mmm... Mind if I refer to you as Everest, then? At least, until you feel comfortable enough to give me your actual name? It feels a little clumsy to refer to you by your entire serial number."

He shrugs. "Whatever you feel like. Going by Everest here is fine."

Suddenly, the roar of an Ursa is heard. Without a further thought or statement, Everest (A/N as we will now refer to him as until a name is chosen) raises his DMR and goes to the source of the roar, already hearing loud gunshots and blasts following the roar. Blake unsheathes her blade and follows Everest, running ahead. She ends up rolling aside to evade the body of an Ursa as it tumbled past her, dead. Everest clambers over the corpse and drops off of it, rolling and continuing to run. In a small clearing up ahead, the back of an Ursa is presented, the bear seemingly focused on something in front of it. He raises his gun and aims it in the middle of its spine. Blake looks at him and shouts "Wait!" but it's a late warning, and he fires.

The middle of the Ursa is blasted open by a small explosion, and reveals the head of a blonde girl, whos hair is comparable to a lion's mane. The bullet sails right on through, and the blonde somehow ducks under the shot even though the bullet was already in flight.

"Whoa!"

The body of the Ursa topples to its side, revealing more of the girl, looking like she's up for a fight. Everest quickly puts up his DMR, raising his other hand. "Sorry. Didn't know you were right in front of it."

Blake rolls her eyes and steps forward. "Hello, Yang."

Yang smiles, perking up and standing down when she sees her. "Hey Blake! That your partner?"

Blake shakes her head no. "He's a wanderer from Atlas. I suppose we're partners now if you haven't found anyone yet."

Yang shrugs, stepping over the legs of the Ursa and walking to Blake. "Ah, I was looking for my sister Ruby. I wouldn't want her to get hurt."

Everest pops the clip out of the rifle and manually slides in a fresh round. "Ruby should be fine. She already found her own partner and left me to go find her. Rather suddenly, I might add." He faces Yang with the visor. "You alright? I'm sorry, that shot was way too close."

Yang grins. How anyone manages to keep this kind of attitude after nearly getting killed, Everest does not know. "Aw, it's alright. I'm Yang! Who aarreee..." A thin strand of golden hair, presumably from the close shave Yang had, slowly floats down in front of her eyes and she goes cross eyed looking at it. Blake gasps, and Everest looks at her. Blake's wide eyed, and looks at Everest, then back to Yang, then back to Everest, mouthing a single word: "Run."

Everest looks confused, if anyone can look confused inside armor like that. "Why-" He's interrupted when a massive explosion sounds out from where Yang was standing, and to his surprise, she's standing in the middle of it, lilac iris turned pure red, hands clenched into fists, and hair streaming upwards and on fire. Yang screams at him, "YOU BASTARD!" and practically flies at him, fists raised already.

Everest comically lowers his gun arm and slouches over, universal "Are you f**king kidding me?!" stance. "... Crud."

Unidentified Planet, Emerald Forest. Present.

'I mean, I know some girls love their hair, but this is just bloody ridiculous,' he says to himself as he tries to outrun what basically is a Kill Ball behind him. He had been running for some time now, exactly for how long, he doesn't know. "Take a chill pill, Jesus!" he calls behind him as he uses his evasive thrusters to strafe away from another shot taken at him, blasting another tree and igniting it.

The high pitched voice screams at him, promising revenge, pain, and death in many different ways. "I'M GONNA KILL YOU, ASSHOLE! I'M GOING TO BEAT YOU TO DEATH WITH YOUR OWN SKULL!"

'Beating someone to death with their own skull? That doesn't seem physically possible,' he says to himself as the threat is shouted, followed by another red flare sailing past his head and exploding in front of him, scattering dirt and such into his visor. He tries to brush off the dirt, only smearing it across his visor more. As if for insult to injury, another one of Yang's shots lands right at his feet, this time sending him flying and off a cliff that he would have ran right off of anyway. His shields manage to hold as he plummets. The heat from the explosion turned the dirt on his visor into chunks that he could scrape off, clearing his vision just in time for his helmeted face to smash into the ground. Thankfully, SPARTAN-IV armor negates most of the trauma from colliding with the ground at a high speed.

"Owww... jeez..." Everest slowly picks himself up off the ground, looking up. Oh. Hey. Those are some ancient ruins over there. How convenient. His shields slowly regenerate as he stands up, dusting himself off and noticing an orange glow in the corner of his eye. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what it is. "... God DAMNIT give me a friggin' break!" Everest breaks out into another sprint, trying to get extra distance from the soon-to-be-crater. Seconds later, another scream sounds behind him, and a massive explosion and heat wave goes off behind him, draining the energy shields a bit. He pushes himself to run faster, running to the ruined structure. As he gets closer, he can see a half-circle of stands, each with something small on top. 'Those are probably the artifacts, but not like-'

His thoughts, for, like, the seventh time since he landed on this planet, are interrupted once again as another blast sails past his head and smashes into an eroding wall, speeding up its decomposition rate by several thousand times. 'Any longer and I'm going to have to shoot someone.' A chain of shots sound off behind him, but no fireballs are sent at him. He risks turning around only to see a flaming comet fly at him, with Yang at its head, fist raised. He doesn't even have time to react as the fist collides with his face, blasting the shield away. The SPARTAN is heavier and more durable than he looks, the punch not sending him flying as Yang intended, and instead the force of Yang flying at such a speed smashing their bodies into one another and they both go down in a tumble.

After the dust subsides, Everest gets a clear look at Yang's red eyes and flaring blond hair as she's basically straddling his chest. As well as raised fist with a sort of gauntlet with a belt of shotgun shells on it. There also just so happens to be the SMG pointed at Yang's face with the blade extended. A minute passes, then Yang rolls off of him and extends a hand to help him up. "Anyway, name's Yang. What's yours?" She does not sound angry at all. Her hair is back to normal and so are her eyes. He hesitantly takes the hand and stands up, dusting himself off.

"... What the HELL is wrong with you?!"

Unidentified Planet, Emerald Forest, Unidentified Ruins, A Minute Later.

After Blake finally caught up to them and had to stop the second fight from starting, calming Yang down, and getting the two to formally introduce each other, Everest looks over to the stands, now seeing that the "artifacts" are actually chess pieces.

"I suppose that's it?" Blake says, crossing her arms.

"Yep!" Yang skips over to a stand, looking at the "artifact". Turning around, Everest sees her holding a golden Knight piece to Blake. "How about a cute little pony?" To which Blake rolls her eyes and smiles, walking to her.

Everest just lowers the gun, sighing. "Reminds me of high school." He walks back to Blake and Yang, who are now both looking up and looking rather stunned. Looking up, he sees the object of their fascination. It's Ruby, plummeting from the sky, only to have her fall intercepted by a blonde boy crashing into her from somewhere, sending them both flying into the trees. Blake and Yang look stunned, and for good reason.

"... Did your sister just fall out of the sky?"

Everest, meanwhile, just picks dirt and mud off of his rifle. At this point, he's numb to whatever fresh hell he landed on. He can fully expect this sort of thing to be a daily occurance. Hearing another Ursa roar, he spins around, but only catching sight of the monster just in time to see a pink explosion blast the monster in the back, felling it. An orange-haired girl rolls over it, then goes to inspect the evaporating corpse. His raised rifle lowers as a boy appears behind it, seemingly out of breath. The guy doesn't seem to realize that the girl had already dashed off to the stands and picked the Rook piece, after which she'd start singing "I'm Queen Of The Castle" or something. After which she stops cold as the boy shouts her name. "Nora!"

Nora giggles. "Coming, Ren!"

Yang has her mouth hanging open. "Did she just ride an Ursa all the way here?"

Before Blake could respond, a red-haired girl comes running out of the trees, which are soon knocked down thanks to a giant scorpion that's actively flailing its pincers at her as she dodges out of the way, calling out a name. 'John? What was that, now?' And then, suddenly, Ruby comes sailing out of the trees, rolling to her feet beside Yang, who looks ecstatic to see her sister return. "Ruby!"

"Yang!"

The orange-haired girl jumps between them as they were about to hug. "Nora!"

"Euck!"

"Ack!"

Everest facepalms. He was just starting to like the atmosphere Blake, Yang, and Ruby provided, and then suddenly, everything turns into a teenager's sitcom. He's going to call his superiors later and ask if he can get off this planet and have some others go in his place. This already looks stupid to him.

Meanwhile, Blake's speaking. "... Did she just run all the way here with a Death Stalker on her tail?" Yang immediately flares up after Blake's statement, which Everest can't help but take two steps away from. He is NOT getting close to that sh*t again.

"I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANY MORE! CAN'T YOU ALL JUST CHILL OUT FOR TWO SECONDS BEFORE SOMETHING CRAZY HAPPENS AGAIN?!"

As the two seconds pass with Ren finally catching up to them, whom Everest now notices has a pink streak of hair, Blake points upward. 'Ohhhh boy. Please don't.'

"Ruby?! How could you leave me?!" Looking up, Everest notices a giant raven-like bird with something white hanging off its tail, presumably a person.

"I said jump..." -Ruby

"She's gonna fall." -Blake

"She'll be fine..." -Ruby

"She's falling." -Ren

As the girl falls, the blonde boy that had crashed into Ruby a few seconds prior leaps out of the trees to catch her, only to realize that he just jumped from the top of a forest tree and plummet to the ground, the girl using Jaune as a soft surface to land on. '... Ow. I felt that.' Everest winces. The red-haired girl, meanwhile, had gotten hit by the Death Stalker and lands in front of him. Yang sarcastically says "Great! The whole gang's here! Now we can all die together!"

"Not if I can help it!" Everest snaps his head towards Ruby, who was currently running off to the giant scorpion. "Ruby, wait!" She doesn't listen, whipping out a massive scythe, unfolding from what looks like a red, blocky cricket bat. Everest sighs. "A weapon like that, she's fine."

To his surprise, not only does the scythe propel Ruby to a high speed towards the monster, but the monster just basically slaps Ruby aside with a claw. 'I guess that's how Yang caught up to me,' Everest thought as he starts running to Ruby.

"D-don't worry! I'm fine!" Clearly not fine, as Ruby turns around and goes face to face with the giant scorpion. Firing a shot at its face, which it just shrugged off, Ruby turns tail and runs, spinning her scythe back into its compact form. Yang had decided to run after Everest to get to Ruby.

"SCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW!"

The massive raven makes its appearance, flying above Ruby and launches some of its massive feathers at Ruby like a massive carpet bomb of giant Needler rounds. Everest and Yang had to roll to the side, Everest cursing all the while. When Everest got back up, amid all the feathers planted into the ground, Ruby had her cape impaled by a feather, and behind her, the Death Stalker slowly raised its stinger for the kill. Cursing again, he pulls out the one grenade he has and looks towards Yang, calling her name to get her attention. "Yang! Punch it!" He primes the grenade and tosses it into the air, Yang quickly recovering, jumping to the grenade while it was still in the air, and as the fist descended upon the grenade, Everest prayed that the grenade wouldn't detonate.

With a jarring punch, Yang sends the grenade flying straight at the Death Stalker's face like a fastball, exploding on contact. The scorpion screeches, backing off. Everest raises the rifle and fires twice to sever the feather so Ruby could slide what's basically now a pole out of the hole in her cape and runs straight to Yang, who immediately wraps Ruby in a hug at what's probably the relief of seeing her sister NOT get killed.

"Go! Get away from the thing, grab a chess piece, bail out!" Everest shouted, half to Ruby and Yang, half to everyone else at the ruined structure. Getting the message, every pair who didn't grab a chess piece dashes to the stands and snatches one for themselves, as the scorpion recovers and the raven starts to circle back.

Unidentified Planet, Edge Of The Emerald Forest, Ancient Ruins.

'I hope the turrets Brez took control over has enough ammo to hold off whatever comes at him' Everest thought as he ran alongside the others. 'It would suck if I got stuck on this planet, because it is BATSH*T INSANE.' Taking cover by some crumbling pillars, Everest ducks around the pillar he used as cover and raises his rifle at the giant raven. Whatever it is. He calls to the others.

"Should I take a shot?"

The white-haired girl, now known as Weiss, calls back. "Save it. Nothing you have right now will work on that thing. Who are you, anyway?"

Ruby punches the girl. "Later. We have something to do right now."

Weiss glares at Ruby, then sighs, peeking around the pillar as the giant raven screeches from a massive, crumbling stone tower, challenging them. Everest turns around, mentally slapping himself for the third time. 'Crap. Where's the scorpion thing?' "Everyone, eyes out for the Death Stalker! The grenade didn't kill it!"

Everyone nods, though as if on queue, the massive scorpion comes baring out of the trees, a black blast mark on its face plating.

The cracking voice of Jaune calls out. "Aw, man, run!" They all scatter, running towards the crumbling structure supported by columns that seem to come from the foggy, bottomless hole. Everest looks back, seeing Ren and Nora running across, evading the incoming feathers. The girl manages to pull out a grenade launcher and fires at the screeching bird. Everest's eyes trace the grenade in the air and- 'Jesus, what kind of grenade is that? It's like a flak cannon!'

"Run for the bridge, the thing can't get us there!" Everest calls out as they all change paths to the bridge. Upon reaching the bridge, Everest looks back and notices that the Death Stalker halted at the bridge, its pincers snapping angrily. He smirks, only to have a massive red blip appear on his motion tracker and approach his yellow dot. 'Aw, crap.'

The raven-esque monster blows right through the bridge, shattering the middle and separating the students from each other. As they recover, Blake looks around. "Wait, where's Everest?"

Ruby waves her off. "No time, we need to take these two Grimm down!"

Unidentified Planet, Airspace, Some Hundred Feet Above Ancient Ruins.

'You have got to be f*cking kidding me,' Everest thought as he maintains the grip he has on a bunch of feathers on the Nevermore's back. As the massive bird levels out, he pulls himself up and basically surfs the giant monster. Looking down, he immediately wishes he didn't. 'That's a long drop...' He drops to a kneeling stance, aiming his DMR and switching the Sentinel scope's magnification from 4x to 6x. A small improvement. He starts firing from the top of the beast, sending bright yellow rounds spattering on the faceplate of the Death Stalker. It seems to knock it back more than the bullets from either Ren or Pyhrra would. Reloading, he takes aim at the Death Stalker again from his elevated position when the bird starts descending. Everest drops flat, and hangs on for his life. As if things didn't get crazy enough, Blake practically teleports on the beast's head and starts slashing it, her slashes stopping and eyes going wide as she saw Everest clinging on its back.

"Sup." Blake didn't have time to reply, as she was running across and jumps off on a cracked stone wall. Everest, meanwhile, is breathing a sigh of relief as the bird gains altitude and levels out. Going into a kneeling stance again, Everest notices a bunch of colored flashes headed toward his Nevermore mount. Instinctively shielding his face with his gun steadying hand, and then using that hand to steady himself as the beast shifts and screeches as bullets and blasts strike. Everest swore he saw a curving bright blue laser flash in front of him and miss. 'They're shooting this thing while I'm up here? They nuts?! Oh, wait a minute. Reality check. I'm on a world where this sh*t apparently happens often. I came from a world where this kind of crap does not happen at all, whatsoever. I need to adjust my strategy.'

Steadying himself and rising to a kneeling position, he grabs the SMG and turns on the blade, and starts running to the head, where he starts slashing wildly at the neck area, doing much more damage than Blake's sword and cleaver. The bird screeches and starts shaking to make him fall off, but Everest hangs on. At least, until he gets to his destination. Suddenly, the bird starts descending, dropping, rather. He quickly jumps off, activating thrusters and hovering in the air and looking down at the Death Stalker, who's stinger currently has a Ren shooting the stinger. 'Smart... but that thing is about to get the shock of its life.' His thrusters charge and flare, sending him flying at unnatural speeds at the scorpion, a Ground Pound. As he falls, he notes that Ren is gone from the tail and the stinger is still on, but very weak. Jaune shouted something to Pyhrra and she throws her shield at the stinger, cutting it and dropping it on the head of the Death Stalker. 'Heheheh... Target confirmed.' Everest raises his fist, shouting, "Night night, motherfucker!" The three students look up, jaws dropping, as he smashes the stinger into its skull, sending the creature's chin into the bridge, which served as a seesaw to launch the three off and back onto solid land again. Meanwhile, Everest scrambles up and sprints off of the falling beast and barely clambers onto the dirt, rolling upright as Ren returns with shaky footsteps, then falling facefirst onto the ground. '... I feel sorry for his nose.' He thought.

Turning around, he notices the other four are still shooting at the thing, when Ruby looks to Weiss and says something, then the two dash off. 'They got a plan? I want to see this one.' Looking behind him, he asks something he'd probably regret. "Any of you able to boost me to the bridge?" Immediately Nora jumps up from her sitting position, raising her hand. "Ooh! Ooh! Pick me!"

'I am going to regret all of this.' he thought as Nora prepares her hammer. Like a golf club to a golf ball, she smashes the bottom of his feet, Everest having jumped in a futile attempt to avoid it. And now, he's flying across the sky again, shields sputtering as they failed to stay online. He drops onto the bridge, landing hard, holding his feet, yelling in pain. "Argh! Fuck!" He lays there for a bit, cursing.

We interrupt this to bring you a third person perspective of soon-to-be Team JNPR.

Pyhrra's looking at the huddled form of Everest writhing in pain. "Nora... maybe you shouldn't have... boosted him so hard. You drained his aura in that one swing..."

A/N: The flaring of his shields is similar to the Aura shimmering as of Season 3. It's easy to see why Pyhrra mistook the shields for Aura here.

Nora's also looking across the bridge at Everest, now quickly getting up and running across. "Ah, he's fine. Look, he's on his feet again!" Pyhrra sighs. "All the same, maybe you should have let me do it." She turns around, looking at Nora, then realizing his rifle was laying on the ground. "Uh oh."

We now return to our original program.

'That girl can hit HARD. Jeez louise.'

Everest ran across the bridge to the four students still firing at the Nevermore. As he reaches Ruby who was hanging back, he skids to a halt, looking back at the four on the lower cliff. 'Shit! My rifle!'

"Everest!" Ruby turns around, looking happy to see him. "You came back!"

"Yeah, yeah... dropped my rifle over there," as he grabs the silenced Battle Rifle from his back. "I don't think this thing is any good against that bird."

"Don't worry, I have a plan to kill the Nevermore. Just distract it."

Everest shrugs, putting away the the silenced rifle and instead taking out the SMG, blade extending upon gripping it and firing at it. Ruby stares at the blade, her mouth open. "Whoa..." She quickly snaps out of it, seeing the Nevermore crash into the side of the high cliff. It slowly stands up, screeching. Weiss dashes all the way over to the bird and freezes its tail to the ground, trapping it. Ruby looks at Everest.

"Gotta go. I'll see you later!" She sprints over to a makeshift slingshot made from Blake's ribbon and two stone pillars. Jumping into it, Ruby pushes the slingshot with blasts from her scythe-rifle, and is held there from a glyph Weiss conjurs. 'Magic. Greeaaaat. At least it's an explanation of why everything on this planet exists.'

Ruby is sent flying towards the Nevermore, hooking its neck with her scythe as she lands feet first on the cliff face. Weiss summons more glyphs all the way up the side of the sheer rock face, which seem to allow Ruby to wall run up the cliff at a high speed, dragging the Nevermore by its neck with her scythe until she reaches the top, where the Nevermore's head is severed from its neck. Its lifeless body slowly drops back down as the students look at the falling corpse in wonder, Everest just crossing his arms and smiling under his helmet. 'Not bad, kid. Not bad... I shudder to think of the criminals on this planet, though.' Blake looks over at him, raising an eyebrow. "You alright?" 'I guess I actually shuddered.'

"I'm fine... just wondering how I'm going to introduce myself to Beacon.

A/N: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAND IT'S OVER! The chapter.
I'll be honest, I felt like I rushed this one out, especially at the part with the cast of RWBY chatting with each other as monsters that can kill them circle the two. It just felt rather awkward putting that in. I, of course, could have skipped straight past the part by making Kinetic Bolts the kill-all on Grimm, but that's cheap, I wanted everything to be thorough, and I definately did not want to make the SPARTAN overpowered. He might be stronger than Yang in brute force, but he's definately much slower and TRIES to fight tactically. Of course, this doesn't work well when Grimm can knock his cover aside instantly. Oh well. I hope I don't drive this story into a brick wall and crash. ANYWAY, leave a review, it helps me alot, yadyadyada, ciao!

A/N: Also no, Everest was not a suggested name. I just got sick of referring to him as SPARTAN and him and other pronouns. Also, Sierra-117? Everest-4157? Heheheheheh.
