Notice:This Au story with an added in character is only my idea everything else involving Rwby is a Rooster Teeth production and I have no claim over the work. I just simply felt inspired to write this after seeing just only clips and hearing about it without actually watching the show till later so forgive me if the writing or some plot stuff is a little off.

Author's Note:

This is more of a character who just doesn't worry and not much angst to him because it is kinda based on me if I ever got transported to another world with Zerg close behind. I was gonna put this story in the Starcraft and Rwby crossover section, but to be honest no one really goes to those so sorry if the starcraft elements piss any of you off.

Chapter 4:The Hunt has started

While I was getting the base running with more static defenses being setup to counter any Grimm attacks (which I hope they happen because that helps me see if the Spine crawlers are effective defenses or if I need to keep an army constantly buried in the creep around my base) that happen while my main brood is out hunting, I had the newly spawned Zerglings form two groups of 8 to find a pack of Beowolves and fight. I wanted to see how my Zerglings fare against the literal creatures of hatred and how effective they were compared to the game.

An hour later:

After some time had passed the Zerglings had finally found a group of Beowolves roaming in a group of 4 looking around for anything to hunt. The Beowolves hadn't noticed the group of Zerglings watching them in the bushes so that means my theory of Grimm not being able to sense the Zerg was true. The zerg do emit fear, anger, or emotions; the perfect counters to the Grimm senses. The Grimm also sense a person's aura so that is useless against the Zerg due to them not really having a Soul, but more of connected to a hive mind which is me.

When the Zerg encountered the Beowolves, I received a sort of psionic pulse similar to what the Overlord had sent to me when it had completed its objective. It's sort of like a game when the player completes the objective, the computer gets sent the completion and hands out the rewards or just gives another objective. I took control of one Zergling and sent the other 7 to attack them while I sat and watched for an opportunity to strike. Hey, don't give me on one of those looks, I never fought before and hell certainly not a Zerg body for that matter.

When the Grimm finally saw the rapidly approaching Zerglings it was too late for them to properly react in time before one was slashed by three Zerglings, each one leaving a deep gash in the skin of the Beowolves. The one that was slashed quickly retaliated and slashed one of the Zerglings throwing it into a tree before being killed by the other two Zerglings. The one that was thrown into the tree had it's chitin slightly cracked, but other than that it was fine. With the element of surprise gone the other three Beowolves had started to face off to the other seven Zerglings.

There was a moment of stillness before a leaf flowing in the wind flew in between the creatures and then there was claw against bone and slashes against chitin. Three pairs of two Zerglings went after the respective Grimm with the me and the leftover Zergling waiting to strike. The three pairs had a formation which had one Zergling distract from the front while the other Zergling flanked the enemy from behind. One of the pairs manage to successfully take one Beowulf done, but sadly the other two pairs weren't so lucky as one was thrown into a tree hard enough that it was done for the fight, but didn't die while the other pair of Zerglings had one of them fully killed by a blow to the head breaking through it's Chitin and Carapace crushing its head.

That just goes to show you don't underestimate the Grimm's strength even if it's one of the cannon fodder, then again packs of these can kill a trained huntsman so it is nice to know the basic units of the zerg can kill at least one out three Beowolves. My fellow Zergling in waiting took the chance to kill the Beowulf from behind and managed to get a claw through the skull and piercing through the bone plate on the face. I followed its example surprisingly not messing up in the process. The genetic code and the instincts of the Zergling has seemed to be so engraved in the mind that it even affects my fighting ability allowing me to fight like a Zergling even though I was never one in the first place. I wasn't as lucky as the other Zergling, but I had managed to sever off an arm with black blood spraying out of the stump.

With all the Zerglings fighting One Single injured Beowulf it was an easy fight, but it seems the Zerg are different in the real world than what the game or lore said. The Zerg claws should be able to go through Neosteel like paper yet the slashes in the Grimm weakened it, but not killing it and the armour should be able to take a good amount of brute force yet the skull was crushed quite easily. The Zergling that was heavily injured should have recovered from the fight as the lore said the Zerg could regenerate lost limbs quite quickly, but my Zergling seems to do at a pace on par or slower than the game. Maybe it's because there is a lack of vespene to upgrade the armour on my units, but what can I do, Remnant from what we have seen lacks vespene geysers and I don't have that chemical knowledge to reproduce them. The minerals could be replaced with dust crystals if given enough time and research, but the vespene has no such equivalent from what I can remember.

That's when some of the Grimm didn't turn into dust, but sludged back into a pool which you know kinda looks like what they came from in the show. This never happened before in the show so it has to be special in someway right? It doesn't matter I'll just get a drone to pack it up into one of those flesh sacs that exist in an extractor and bring it back to the base to see what they could do with it.

And with that the first encounter of the Zerg and the Grimm had ended…...

On the last episode of Dragon ball Z:Goku uses the spirit bomb… 32 episodes later:He is still powering the spirit bomb. Anyway back to the story

The Zerglings were not really effective against the Beowolves kinda the opposite in the way I thought they would had the Beowolves outnumbered 3:1, yet I still loss a Zergling and almost had another one's spine snapped in half if it wasn't for the toughness and regenerative factor of the Zerg Dna sequences. It's weird because the Zerglings seem to be a lot less powerful in Remnant than what the lore and that introduction of the Zerg in that video narrated by Jim Raynor. Jim said that a pair of Zerglings could tear a marine in half before he could even reload his rifle and made the armour of less chunky targets yet still encased in hard steel effectively useless, but against the Beowolves the slashes did some damages, but it didn't kill them.

What doesn't make sense as well is that the Zergling who had it's back almost crushed still is essentially paralyzed and can't move. Just looking at it struggling to move at all is pretty sad to look at, but that's the weird thing, a Zerg could regenerate limbs if given enough time for example Dehaka and a Zergling does it quicker due to the simple Dna Sequence so why isn't this one being healed up at all. Hell it looks slower than the health system in the Starcraft 1 and everyone knows that letting them heal was a lot slower than getting enough minerals and gas to replace them. Might as well just kill it to free up supply to make another pair of Zerglings, plus it would be the first one to die in battle.

I mean the resources in the game were plentiful with Gas and Minerals kind just everywher-…Gas…and…minerals… wait a second there is no gas in this world and minerals, the units are made of Bioessence or Biomass. The lore said that the minerals were used by Terrans and Zerg to harden and strengthen the armour for there vehicles and units so that explains why the Zerg claws and their chitin were a lot weaker than what was previously stated. The same thing goes for gas, Zerg use it for physical/mental enhancements, nourishment to drive their greatly accelerated metabolisms, and spinning the Dna sequences to upgrade their armour, melee attack, and ranged attack. It was also the catalyst for the mutation in the Zerg along with bioessence of other species.

You know that makes a lot of sense and explains why the Zerg right now are so underpowered and in all honesty very poor in their genetic makeup semi-quoting Abathur. The lack of minerals is being substituted by the biomass meaning that the Zerg are essentially a "normal meat" thing half quoting Penny...ahh bless her heart may she rest in peac-….wait a minute if I am before Beacon falls and the Vytal festival that means all the shit hasn't gone down yet so I could save them.

Ahhh FUCK Yeah! I'm gonna do what everyone has wanted to do ever since the end of volume 3, gonna take care of the Invasion of Beacon, stop Pyrrha from being disintegrated, Penny from being converted into quarters *wink wink*. Hell I hope I'm before the beginning of Rwby so I could potentially make friendships with Ruby and hope Yang doesn't blow me sky high just in case she thinks I'm flirting with her sister...not that I have experience flirting with girls, but hey I read enough Rwby fics with Oc characters getting with some of the main cast or the waifus out there so I got some knowledge. Please, please, please whoever put me here places me before Ruby gets accepted into Beacon like at least a week or two and not when team STQR was formed because that is a whole other thing to wri…*cough cough* I mean solve.

On completely different note, I'm sixteen not any older not any younger so none of that age gap bullshit aight, I'm only, what one year off of Ruby and the rest of the girls so there is nothing wrong if I wanna get with one of them….though I might not have a chance about getting with them, but hell I would be content watching ships like White Rose or BumbleBy be made in person or…. *Gasp* making it happen. Oh hell yeah! I'm gonna make them become couples, gonna push Ren and Nora together, and make sure Arkos becomes a thing not with that complete bullshit kiss and then death right after. No one can stop me not even Cinder or Salem from getting my OTPs from happening. I'm also a guy so none of that Gay shit about me fangirling alright, I just came to love these ships after reading so many fics that it just have to happen.

My one worry though is what if they have one of those angsty past kinda things going on or have nightmares that keep them up yet they don't tell others in fear of looking weak or some bullshit like that, but I have a funny feeling that I'm gonna be wrong, but hey that is what I did best back on Earth or that is what I think I did good on.

Anyway enough about that, from what I could brainstorm is that due to the lack of minerals, biomass is used and the same could probably be said about Gas. Right now the units that I can make i.e Queens, Drones, Overlords, and Zerglings don't require gas and neither does the buildings require gas right now so the biomass to make them match the size of the mineral costs, but only because they don't need the gas for any reason….ah well shit that means the Roaches acid has to be toned down because the reason a Roaches acid was so powerful was because of the gas and the minerals allowed them to carry it without killing themselves so that means they are less useful than the game. I need to get those buildings set up so that I could look at what I need to create them.

Spawning Pool Spore Crawler

Evolution Chamber Baneling Nest

Units Unlocked:

Drone Zerglings

Overlord Queens

I had a few of the drones come back and create a Baneling Nest and a Roach Warren so I could start getting those units up and running to deal with any nasty surprise that may come my way. The Baneling nest took a few minutes surprisingly and the Roach Warren taking up less time than the Baneling nest. It might be because the Baneling nest required Gas to make, except I don't have that so the price and build time shot up. Like seriously the Roach Warren was only the 250 biomass only 100 more resources than in game but the Baneling Nest the price was 1,200 biomass required and 5 minutes to build it. Now only having that building solely in construction doesn't seem that bad, but if you take into account that multiple buildings and units that are being made as well need to be made, I don't have the luxury to wait 6 minutes to get back the 1,200 biomass. I seriously need to find the alternates for the Gas and Minerals quick or I'm going to end up dying pretty quickly, kinda ironic on how it's the Zerg being quickly eradicated from existence rather than the other way around.

Anyway after getting the Roach Warren setup and some roaches created, which costed a whopping 800 biomass and took a full minute and a half to grow, I had another overlord be created to have it sent to the island in patch to see if it could find Ruby and Yang so I could tell when I was in the timeline. If they were still in patch then that means that they aren't in Beacon yet, and the alternative is obvious so yeah doesn't really matter. Anyway the other thing I need to do is find a way to unlock my Aura or you know get actually stronger as I don't really workout, but I'm not fat just average. My height is like 5'8 or 5'9ish never got an accurate measure so at least I ain't short like Ruby….ooooh boy am I gonna have fun making jokes about her being short unless Yang decides to punch me for that. I don't want to come off like Cardin or douche baggy like Neptune in a way, no hate against Neptune, but White Rose OTP same for BumbleBy so Suck it Sun or (SIS ha calling him a girl).

I had about 3 more larvae turn into Overlords to send to Vacuo, Menagerie, and Haven to scout out the general areas. I'm avoiding Mistral and Atlas because they have the basic tech to detect my overlord unless it is in the Mesosphere, but that does no good for scouting because I doubt I could see that far from like 80km or 50ish miles. The Zerg may have good qualities, but that doesn't mean I do as well or I would have regeneration and strength if that was the case.

Back to the problem of getting stronger as there is no way to train, the case being the only one on the island and having zero fighting experience. The only two ways are to turn myself into something like Kerrigan, which in all honesty is not preferable as Hunters and Huntresses would try to attack on sight and I would like to be friends with the main cast, while the other is to make some sort of exoskeleton out of Zerg carapace and parts similar to an infested Marine, but without the, you know infested part. I could also create a body similar looking to the humans, but still Zerg allowing me to form weapons out of my own skin using biomass, it would work similar to a changeling. Yea you know what, I am going to use the changeling idea, only with ability to attack not be literally next to useless besides scouting. From the game perspective it made sense, but from lore wise it has absolutely no reason for being able to attack, except for a marine has it could only form ammo out of itself and that is pretty much useless if everytime it shot the rifle if would slowly take damage.

I go into the hatchery to start the process of creating a changeling from the larvae themselves unlike doing it from an overseer. It is kinda dumb that changelings could only spawn from Overseers and you couldn't spawn them, from again game perspective it makes sense, but from the lore no idea why they couldn't. The Zerg has every genetic sequence taken from whatever they have killed as well as knowledge of the Xel'naga so creating a changeling that fit what I wanted. Overall the changeling was looked like me except with slightly more muscle and slimer face, because I have to give off the impression I'm not weak and I made myself 6 feet instead of 5'8-9. In my opinion I'm not hot, but not bad just average looking with a fun personality if I do say so myself.

After getting all of the genetic sequences done for the body and what I was gonna do with my original body(put it in one of those flesh cocoons so it would not be harmed and put into some type of stasis) I walked out of the hatchery to see my brood rapidly expanding, with zerglings and roaches mucking about, with the creep spreading further and further.

"Let's put this body to the test."


Author's Note:Wassup I'm back and this chapter was fun to write had a Ap test the day I'm uploading this so yeah a good stress relief after school and the like 4 hour testing, but hey whatcha gonna do. Also gonna break fourth wall here and there because I am the character in the story yet also the writer so bite me I'm gonna do what I want to do. Yes I'm giving the main cast characters some angsty beside my own because again based on me so yea decent life so far and all that crap, but the main characters all got some tragic story to them so yea character development and all woohoo *apathetically*. Please forgive me if I didn't get Salem's and Ozpin's dialogue and speech correct, acting like others is not my strong point and It is my first time doing this so sorry or as Pyrrha would say "I'm sorrry".
