A/N: Sorry its been a while since chapter two, I've been busy working through a metric fuck tonne of grief for fictional characters after season 4 of The Flash and Infinity War. On top of that, I've been suffering from catastrophic writers block and drawing shit attempts at art. Anyway, I've recovered now so I can get back to writing! There will be more focus on this story now, as I discontinued my S/I RWBY fic for multiple reasons.

Disclaimer: I don't own RWBY, SAO or SAO abridged. They belong to Rooster Teeth, Reki Kawahara, and SomethingWittyEntertainment respectively.

A figure in a silver suit sat on a cloud, legs dangling off the edge, staring off into the distance until they were joined by a figure in a gold robe.

"Why did you bring the swordsman here?" Gold asked Silver as he sat beside him.

"There is great unrest in this world, I hoped he would serve to bring around some balance." Silver replied to Gold.

"We shall see, we shall see." Gold said quietly.

(Beacon Academy, first day of the year.)

"Oh...my...God...you're the guy who threw up on the ship!" Kirito exclaimed.

"I'm Ruby and this is Kirito." She gestured to the swordsman beside her.

"Hi Yellow. This is Red. Have a baby and make Orange." Jaune flushed as red as Ruby's hood whereas Ruby punched Kirito in the arm.

"Kirito!"

"Haha..anyway let's get going...again."

(A path. In Beacon. Somewhere.)

"All I'm saying is that motion sickness is a much more common problem than people let on!" Jaune exclaimed.

"Look, I'm sorry! Vomit Boy was the first thing that came to mind." Ruby said, laughing.

"Oh, yeah? What if I called you Crater Face?" Jaune retorted.

"Ha! Good one Yellow!"

"Can you please just call me Jaune?"

"Fine, but only because its less syllables." Kirito said, giving in.

"Thank you..."

"That explosion was an accident anyway." Ruby said begrudgingly.

"Well, the name's Jaune Arc! Short, sweet, rolls off the tongue-the ladies love it!"

"Do they?" Ruby asked, sceptical, while Kirito simply raised an eyebrow.

" They will! Well, I-I hope they will. My mom always says that... Never mind." Jaune trailed off defeated, earning a giggle from Ruby. Soon, an awkward silence settled upon the three. Ruby made it her personal mission to break it.

"So... I got this thing!" She pulled out Crescent Rose and stabbed it into the ground.

"Woah! Is that a scythe?" Jaune asked, shocked at how a girl as small as Ruby could use a massive scythe.

"It's also a customizable high-impact sniper rifle!" Ruby exclaimed with glee.

"Like you actually use it as a sniper." Kirito mocked.

"Hey!"

"Its a what?" Jaune asked, scratching his head with a quizzical expression plastered on his face.

"Its also a gun." Ruby said, cocking the gun for dramatic affect.

"Oh. That's cool!" Jaune replied.

"So what've you got?" Ruby inquired.

"Oh! Uh, I got this sword." Jaune said, unsheathing his sword.

"Ooooohh!" Ruby stared at the weapon.

"Yeah, and I've got a shield, too!" He grabbed his scabbard, rose his arm and expanded the metal into his defense.

"So, what do they do?" Said as she touched the shield. Jaune fumbled with the shield, it retracting off his arm, expanding, and retracting again before putting it back in place and finally shrinking it down for good and placing it on his belt.

"The shield gets smaller, so when I get tired of carrying it, I can just... put it away..." Jaune trailed off.

"But... wouldn't it weigh the same?" Ruby investigated.

"Yeah, it does..."

Ruby giggled. "Well, I'm kind of a dork when it comes to weapons, sooo... I guess I did go a little overboard when designing it."

"Wait - you made that?!" Jaune cried out.

"Of course! All students at Signal forge their own weapons! Didn't you make yours?" Ruby said nonchalantly.

"Jesus Red, not even I made my own weapons!"

"It's a hand-me-down. My great-great-grandfather used it to fight in the war." Jaune told the two.

"Sounds more like a family heirloom to me! Well, I like it! Not many people have an appreciation for the classics these days." Ruby complemented Jaune's weapon.

Jaune sheathed his sword. "Yeah, the classics..."

Kirito cleared his throat. "Elucidator, the black sword, was given to me."'They won't understand if I say that it was a Monster drop.' "And the turquoise one was made by a close friend of mine, Lizbeth, a master blacksmith."

"You're friends with a master 'smith!? Can you take us to their shop sometime?! We might need to upgrade our weapons!" Ruby burst out in a couple seconds.

"Calm down Red. I would take you to see her...but she's dead." (A/N: Kirito considers everyone he knew on Earth dead, because he's given up all hope of getting back there.)

"Oh...I'm sorry for your loss and for bringing it up."

"No, its okay. Now, let's finally fucking get to the opening speech."

A/N: Hi. I want to thank you all for reading my trash. Quick question; should Kirito have a semblance? He has aura because Winter refused to let him fight without it. Sorry that this is so short, but next chapter is dedicated to Kirito and him watching the initiation.
