Dev woke up in a shock, gasping loudly. He then looked around to see that no one was in his room, it was quite and dark. He looked at a clock on the wall next
to him. 3:30 A.M. it read. "Did that really happen to me?" He saw a mirror and picked it up, looking closely at it. There, was a scar exactly described in his
nightmare. "Oh man." He said out loud. After this whole time he lived on earth, he had no idea anything like this could happen. "Was it all a dream?" It was to
dark to notice if he was still on Vytal or not. There was a small knock on his door. No one ever was in his house late at night. "Come in." He said quietly. A
nurse came in to check on him. She went over and closed a window that was letting in a draft.
"Are you alright? Your heart rate was increasing and decreasing rapidly..." She walked over to him and turned on a light next to him. Smiling, she handed him
a glass of water.
"Oh God, It really did happen." He thought as he gladly accepted the glass and greedily drank it down. "Thanks, Ma'am."
She blushed as she turned around. "Ma'am? She giggled. "I am actually around your age, I am in training."
"Oh, well, you are doing a fine job." He then put the glass down on the table next to him. "Say...Can I ask you a few questions?"
She turned back around with a tablet and was typing. "Of course, fire away."
He took in a deep breath. "Where am I? I mean...isn't this planet earth?"
She looked at him in confusion. "Earth?" She continued to type. "No. This is Vytal."
He gulped slowly. He did teleport to the realm of RWBY. "So, I am in...a Vale hospital, right?"
"Yup." She said looking at him. "Why do you ask?"
"Uhh..." He quickly thought as he knew she would not believe him. "I kinda hit my head hard recently, I must've forgotten, but I remember now." He smiles.
"Thanks." He lied back down.
"You're welcome." She stood back up, and walks to the door. "I'll check on you a few more times throughout the night." With that, she left and closed the door.
Dev sat there thinking about his next moves. He was brought to this world somehow. He did not know, but he thought really hard about whether he should
stay there and act like he would have...if he was born there? He didn't know how to put it, but he knew that he somehow replaced someone with the
very same name as his. As if, it was some sort of parallel universe that he traveled to. "Well, I guess, I'll live my life out here." He decided. His arm began to
sting again, and he flinched. "Heh, it's like it is trying to talk to me." He lied on his side to think more, and he slowly drifted off to sleep.
Morning came as voices could be heard around him, one sounded very energetic, a few others could be heard as well. He woke up to a girl staring at him in the
face.
"Morning! Are you okay?" Ruby asked as she saw him open his eyes.
Dev slowly sat up, his arm still in his cast. Good, they didn't know yet. "Yeah, a lot better." He continued looking around and saw a few other faces he
recognized. "Uh, hello." He said a bit confused. "Why are you guys here?"
"Well, you did kinda fall right in front of us." Weiss chimed in, laughing.
"And why do you think that is funny?" Dev shot her a look.
"Weiss, it looked like he would have died!" Ruby shook her fists violently as she complained.
"Actually, he had that before he landed, I noticed that when he fell from the sky." Ruby leaned back in her chair.
Dev was looking at them as if they weren't real, but he knew he had to accept it.
"Well, not just anybody can survive a fall like that" Glynda said typing on her tablet. "His aura level is very high as well, meaning he can heal very rapidly in
most cases."
"Right. Now, I normally never do this, but I have a proposition to make." Professor Ozpin said as Glynda finished typing.
"A proposition?" Dev wondered what it could be. "He is going to ask me about joining his school...I know it."
"How would you like to become a huntsman?" He asked, then took a sip of his coffee.
"I...uhh...that would be an honor, sir." Dev shuddered a bit.
"I have one small question to ask you first...who are the White Fang?" Ozpin asked.
"The...White Fang?" Dev repeated slowly and watched Ozpin nod. He knew exactly who they were.
"The White Fang is a group of Fauna who fight for quality for all Fauna, unfortunately, they use extreme measures to reach their goals for quality." Dev looked
down as he finished, he remembered his nightmare.
"It seems you know about them, well you may join my school. You will be discharged today, escorted to Beacon, and just a word of advise, be sure you know
how to fight. Entrance initiation will begin tomorrow. Also be ready for that." Ozpin finished and took another sip from his cup.
"Understood, sir." Dev gravely stated.
"Good. We will see you in a couple hours." Ozpin and Glynda both left after a few more minutes of talking to the doctors.
Dev looked over to Ruby and Weiss, who both were death staring at each other, as they didn't finish their argument from earlier.
"Hey, hey, calm down you two," He started. "I don't need any hostility, even if it is not my business." He moved his feet over to the side of the bed and stood
up. He walked over to his weapons that were lying on the counter, and slowly slid a hand over his Red Queen. It felt as real as could be. Even the throttle
was there. That would make it so much cooler than it already was.
"I think you need to be more careful." Weiss said to Ruby, not breaking eye contact with her.
"How was I supposed to know you were there?!" They both growled at each other. Weiss looked like she could kill someone.
Dev threw Red Queen over his back and holstered his two magnums. "Well, I think we should head to the school now." He motioned 'Go, shoo' at them with
his cast arm.
"Hmph!" Weiss turned her head and quickly left.
"Man, she needs to chill out." Dev said, snickering at his own joke. Ruby stood up and covered her mouth.
"That was a good one." As she stood up she mad sure to pat her skirt down. "Well, let's head on over to beacon!" She said excitedly.
Dev checked out of the hospital and begin walking to the school. They chatted on the way only making small talk, talking about her weapon. Dev refused to
say anything about his talents as he wanted her to figure them out during the initiation. They eventually reached the school in time for him to get himself a
locker, but at that time, the initiation was just about to begin, so he ran to the platforms while the others were already there and ready to start.
Professer Ozpin stood explaining the objectives and the rules of the initiation. Dev was looking around, watching a blonde haired kid complaining about how
they were supposed to land. "Shoot, I just remembered, I landed on my arm last time...well, let's hope I can survive this fall too." Dev took his position.
Jaune was launched and began screaming in the air.
"Good luck. Deveraux." Ozpin said before sipping from his cup again. Man, he loved coffee.
"Heh, Wait...how did you-" He was cut off as he launched into the air, feeling the wind against him, he acted on instinct as he was soaring quickly, then down
as he watched others land into some trees. "Oh shit!" He screamed as he noticed his figure was a bit off when he landed the first time, now, he could not land
on his arm. But he remembered something about aura. He hit the ground hard, and skid for a few feet before coming to a halt at a tree.
He breathed heavily as he stood up straight. "Man, that was close."
He began to hear some leaves rustle and he quickly pulled out one of his Magnums. "Well, I guess this is where the fun begins." He thought as he aimed at a
bush, thinking he was going to encounter his first Grimm.

"Ow, ow OW! What the hell what that for?! You are the one with your shirt off! At least put one on before- OW DAMN IT!" Deveraux Mercer
