Hey guys this is Qrious with another installment of Remnants of an age forgotten.
Alright first off to the one thing that many of you were waiting for.
Last time I announced that the winners were Ruby and Weiss with two blanks.
Now let me make this clear first. The reason for the two blanks is as i've said last chapter. The person that was in third place might be put into the exemption pit with Yang due to how i am writing this and feelings blooming for one another might be unavoidable. I mean they're in the same team for crying out loud!
So effective immediately there are 5 confirmed girls in the pairing and they are:
Yang Xiao Long
Ruby Rose
Weiss Schnee
And for the two blanks they are:
She's everyone's favorite redhead, looks like a badass amazon and hold the title of 'Invincible Girl', PYYYRRRHHHAAAA NIIIKKOOOOSSS!
Pyrhha: Hello!
For the Final person... you people can't see it but i am looking at you all with a dull expression on my face. She wields a katana, not much is known about her but you all know her as, RAAAAVVEEEENNNN BRRRAAAAANNNWWEEEEEENNNNNNnnnnnn... or is it Raven Xiao Long?
Raven: Wonder how Tai will react to this?
Well there you guys have it. For those of you that wanted someone to see the pairing you wanted keep your fingers crossed and hope Kuram comes through for you. Enjoy the story!
Note 7/3/16: Chapter 1-6 have undergone re-editing and the chapters themselves underwent through small changes in content. If errors still persist let me know.
Last time
"You think THAT guy is also here in Beacon?"
...
"Now aside from the relics there will one more, bonus objective"
...
"Some girl is in trouble."
...
"I'm Queen of the castle~, I'm Queen of the castle~"
...
"Espero que usted muera una muerte espantosa."
...
"Don't worry Eu, we won't let them hurt Naruto anymore so don't cry okay!"
The sounds of shooting and metal hitting metal are clearly heard in the forest near Beacon.
A male garbed in a white mask trying to fight off two scythe wielding girls. If the man could growl he would but being a soul who was brought to the land of the living and put in a flesh body only to fight he could not do so. He landed on a nearby branch and looked down at his opponents.
He looked at the scythe wielding girl in red. The girl was inexperienced and impatient and had made many mistakes. Mistakes he capitalized to the fullest but is always unsuccessful in his attempts. He isn't unsuccessful because of the girl herself, no. It was the other scythe wielder that is giving him the most problems.
He looked at the other scythe wielding girl with long white hair. Because of her blank face he really couldn't tell what she's thinking. Back when he was still alive, though he couldn't remember completely who taught him, he was taught to study every move a person makes because even the tiniest of twitches or movement the human body makes can give you an idea as to what the person is probably feeling or about to do. This girl however he can't read, she is calm, very calm. The only thing he can read from her, and it is quite obvious at this point, is that she won't let him touch even a strand of hair on her companion and that he will not be able to help Jiraiya test Naruto.
He suddenly looked slightly to the right and frowned behind his mask. Three more signatures are heading straight toward him. This is bad, her orders were only to test Uzumaki not make themselves known by fighting upcoming Huntsmen-in-training.
Haku had to quickly dodge because once again the girl in red is upon him, her scythe chopping off the branch he was standing on a few seconds ago. Ruby fired off a round twisted her scythe and used the recoil from the shot to make an upward diagonal slash at Haku. Her blade hit Haku but Haku's body exploded in smoke and when the smoke dissipated it revealed a log that is diagonally cut in half. Ruby's eye twitched and her grip on Crescent Rose tightened. This has been happening repeatedly for the whole fight, she didn't even need to turn around to know that the masked guy is behind her trying to hit her and that Eu blocked him... again.
They needed reinforcements fast if they wanted to quickly take down this guy and help Naruto!
They needn't wait any longer. Their reinforcements came in the form of a blonde missile nailing Haku on the cheek launching him straight through a tree.
Ruby's eyes widened in relief at the sight of her sister, and the fact that she hit the guy was a plus. She grew even more relieved when Weiss, Blake and Pyrrha appeared.
"What took you guys so long." She asked a little out of breath from the fighting.
Her partner looked at her irritated "Well excuse us, not all of us have a speed Semblance."
Yang suddenly appeared in front of Ruby checking if she got hurt during "You all right sis? You didn't get hurt did you?"
Ruby got red in the face getting embarrassed by Yang, she understands why she does it but can she do it when there is no one around?
Blake and Pyrrha went towards Eu who is keeping an eye out for the Haku.
"Where's the other guy?" Pyrrha asked while also keeping an eye on her surroundings.
She received a shake of the head as an answer, meaning the long haired man is fighting Naruto. She looked at Eu and saw she is quite tired; her hand is already shaking from the all the fighting she's been doing, Ruby is the same but could still carry on for a little longer.
She spotted movement on her peripheral vision and immediately shifted her weapon to its gun from and started shooting at it getting the others' attention. Then the sounds of blades clashing got their attention and they saw Blake engaging the masked man in close quarters combat with her weapon Gambol Shroud blocking the needle-like weapons or senbon the man is using. Yang and Weiss were about to move in to help Blake when ANOTHER masked man blocked them who looked exactly the masked man Blake is fighting. Does this mean on top of being able to use the element of ice without Ice Dust he has dual semblances? Teleportation and Cloning (AN: before someone calls me out on this, for the people of Remnant Kawarimi may as well be a teleportation semblance).
Yang started throwing Ember Celica-enhanced punches and kicks at the Haku lookalike who expertly parries them away and landing a few hit of his own. Weiss used her glyphs to quickly get behind Haku and stab him from behind. Haku flash kicked Yang to dodge Weiss and when he landed behind her he Spartan kicked her into Yang knocking both of them into the ground. Haku's body popped into to smoke when Ruby shot at him prompting an irritated shout from the girl.
"WHY DOES HE KEEP POPPING INTO SMOKE!"
Blake, with the help of Eu, managed to defeat the other one. Pyrrha looked around confused 'I don't get it, where is the real one? One of the two should've left a body behind unless-' Pyrrha eyes widened in realization. This was just a diversion! His objective was to get past Ruby and Eu in order to help his associate and Yang launching him straight through a tree was the perfect opportunity to do so. The clones were just to keep them occupied.
She turned around and saw Blake nodding at her; it seems she's come to the same conclusion as she is to what just happened and Blake turned to Yang and Weiss.
"C'mon you two we need to get a move on." Yang and Weiss nodded. Ruby followed after them.
"Wait, I'm coming with you!" Weiss shook her head.
"No Ruby, you've already done enough, you need to get some rest." Ruby stubbornly shook her head.
"I can still keep going!"
"Listen you dolt, you are not coming with us, you can barely stand as it is!" she admonished Ruby.
"No! He's my friend/crush; I won't just sit here doing nothing knowing he's in danger!" Ruby insisted but said the crush part mentally.
Weiss was about to again convince Ruby to stay when she felt a hand on her shoulder, she turned to see Yang shaking her head. She sighed then groaned once she saw Pyrrha and Eucliwood moving to join them.
"You too?" she asked and of course she gets a nod in return. She palmed her face getting her a few confused looks from the others.
This was not how she planned this to down. It was just supposed to be her, Blake and Yang then she'd leave them in the dust. Then she'd arrive just in time to save Naruto like a knight in shining armor and then she's profess her love for him then they'd live happily ever after. She doesn't care if anyone say's its reversed! Everyone falls for the 'knight in shining armor act! Everyone!
"Why?" she asked just for the sake of it.
"Because he's our partner."
Silence. A Tumbleweed rolled past them.
"WHAAAAATTT!?"
(With the others)
Jaune, Nora and Nora are sitting on the ground exhausted; Naruko is looking around for any remaining Grimm alongside Lopez and Simmons, all around them the bodies of dead Grimm slowly dissolving. Deciding to get to know the two people that helped them Naruko struck a conversation with them.
"So, what's the deal with you two?
"What?/Qué?" the two armored men asked in unison.
Naruko rephrased her question "What are you two doing here, in Beacon?"
"Sorry ma'am, we can't really say, top secret and all that stuff." Lopez nodded to that.
"You sure can't tell me anything?" Naruko made a pouty face that ALMOST made Simmons cave-in.
"N-no, I really c-can't." then he paled when Naruko used the look every men in any universe feared. The Puppy eyes. Dun dun dun duuun!
And so Simmons did what any brave man would do to avoid falling to its alluring cuteness. He knocked himself out.
Naruko looked at Lopez "Ni siquiera pensar en ello. Soy un robot, no voy a caer en algo tan estúpido."
Naruko shrugged, even though she didn't understand what Lopez said except for the stupid part, she felt that it wouldn't work on him regardless.
"Hey! Simmons! Lopez!" everyone in the clearing looked at where the shout originated and saw another armored figure coming towards them, this time the armor is purple (AN: in case I forgot to mention the armor the RVB crew are using is the Chorus trilogy armor).
"Doc?" Lopez said sounding surprised. Didn't they use him as bait to get away from that King Taijitu?
"That was so mean you two! You just left me there alone with the- what's wrong with Simmons?" 'Doc' reprimanded Lopez and Simmons with his hand on his hip with a finger pointed at Lopez but stopped when he saw Simmons knocked out. It was really hard to tell with the head armor and all.
"Inconsciente."
"Unconscious huh?" Doc put his hand on his chin then looked at Lopez.
"You hugged him till he was passed out didn't you!" Doc declared with a teasing voice prompting a few snickers from the group and a shout of outrage from Lopez.
"La cogida!"
"Oh don't be so shy Lopez!" Lopez aimed his gun at Doc making him pretty nervous. You would be too if you have a freakin' machine gun aimed at your head.
"Hahahaha…. sorry?"
"Disculpa no aceptó."
(With Naruto)
Meanwhile with Naruto, his fight with Jiraiya has gotten even more difficult when a group of Beowolves arrived and charged him while fighting with the Grimm-Shinobi. Thankfully Haku was fighting Ruby and Eucliwood, he'd normally be worried about them fighting Haku on their own but he knew that Pyrrha would be with them shortly with some backup. Naruto had to quickly duck when a Beowolf swiped at him, he sweep kicked in retaliation and the Grimm fell down. It never got to move when Naruto shot its head twice, he pointed his left hand to his right and a blue chain shot out impaling a Grimm thaw was gonna lunge at him, he swings his hand, and by extension the chain, at the three remaining Grimm. The Grimm were all knocked towards a tree that fell on them due to a slash that Naruto made on the tree earlier.
With the Grimm dispatched Naruto focused on finding his true opponent Jiraiya. He needn't look any longer because Jiraiya burst out of nearby bush brandishing a pair of kunai. His thrust his right hand forward and Naruto blocked it with the blade of his pistol, he found the air knocked out of him when Jiraiya punched him square in the gut. The punch lifted him up a few inches from the ground and he used lift to knee Jiraiya's chin making the man stumble backwards holding his chin. With a hand on his stomach Naruto fired off rounds from his pistol at Jiraiya. Jiraiya managed to deflect a few of the bullets before his kunai was shot off of his hands. He sidestepped when an Aura clone of Naruto appeared behind him trying to cut him with his tanto. He twisted the clones arm getting the clone to drop the tanto, Jiraiya caught it with his unoccupied hand and used it to stab the clones head getting it and the tanto to dispel.
Jiraiya had to dodge when 5 chains suddenly came lunging at him from different directions, he quickly closed in on the owner, Naruto, and the two engaged in close quarters combat that ended with Jiraiya on the ground with a missing arm and Naruto who looked about ready to pass out.
Haku came into the clearing where he Jiraiya were fighting and Naruto weakly raised his tanto in defense. When he looked at Haku he couldn't help but smirk, it looks like the girls gave Haku a hard time. Haku looked like he came out of a warzone, his clothes were ripped in various places and he was bleeding quite heavily. The mask he was wearing also had a few cracks. They were in quite the predicament since Ruby and the others were most likely on their way and the two were in no shape to fight.
Then the unexpected happened. The air in front of the two Grimm-Shinobi suddenly distorted in a familiar spiraling vortex, Naruto's eyes widened when he remembered a technique that has a similar effect and the person that used it to its full effect.
'Don't tell me..' A person materialized out of the vortex and Naruto was surprised at who used the technique.
Standing in front of him is a person with silver hair wearing the Konoha Jonin uniform. The man is wearing a Grimm mask that covered the top half of his face. The bottom half is covered by blue face mask. Naruto widened his eyes, he only knew one person that had silver hair and wore a blue face mask. His late sensei, Kakashi Hatake.
'Damn it, he must have given him a pair of sharingan eyes somehow.' Naruto's eyes twitched in irritation, was he forgetting who his allies are that he gave the enemy an upgrade?
Kakashi moved towards Jiraiya and looked at him for a moment. He surprised Naruto when he suddenly smashed his heel on Jiraiya's face breaking the mask covering his face. Naruto managed to see Jiraiya's face and he couldn't help but grimace. Like the rest of his body Jiraiya's face was deathly pale, the sclera of his eyes were as dark as the deepest abyss and his iris a crimson red, but they were hollow and unfocused. A moment later Jiraiya's body burst into particles of light that dissipated into the sky. He noticed Kakashi staring at him but made no move to attack. A few seconds later Kakashi put his hand on Haku's shoulder and Kamui'd out of the area
'And back to her.' Naruto tiredly thought. He then felt his body fall to the ground, the exhaustion finally catching up to him. His eyes felt heavy and he slowly closed them. The last thing he heard before succumbing to exhaustion is someone screaming his name.
A few hours later.
Naruto slowly stirred from his sleep, he blinked once, twice to get the blurriness out of his eyes. He felt his back and head laying on something soft, he minutely opened his eyes and found himself staring at a white ceiling.
'Must be at Beacons clinic.' Naruto thought, Pyrrha and the others must've brought him here. He tried to sit himself up but he felt a weight, on his chest making him unable to sit up. He raised his head up a little and the first thing he saw was long blonde hair.
'Yang?' Naruto thought in confusion, wasn't she supposed to be in the auditorium for the team announcements?
Yang slowly stirred from her own sleep, Naruto's movements waking her up. When she raised her head he noticed her eyes were a bit red and puffy. When Yang turned her head to look at him they slowly widened and tears were slowly coming out of her eyes again. Naruto suddenly found himself engulfed in a hug by a crying Yang.
"Y-you idiot, I-I thought you were.." Naruto closed his eyes and gently rubbed Yang's back while she held onto him real tight, afraid that this was just a cruel dream.
When Naruto disappeared four years ago Yang felt much betrayed. The one person she thought that would always be with her, other than Ruby, suddenly disappeared. It didn't help when she began having feelings for him. It wasn't hard to, he was always there for her, he comforted her in times of need, helped her search for her mom, it helped that he often found her puns funny. Then out of nowhere he suddenly reappears and she interrogated him on where he's been. Though he was able to confirm a few things she wanted her mother and that meant a lot to her, she still hadn't forgiven him.
Then the next day they found out he was in Emerald Forest, knocked out and in Grimm hands or claws. She felt her heart stop when she saw the image of him lying on top of a Death Stalker. Then Pyrrha and Eucliwood found him saying that he was in very bad shape while fighting an unknown people able to utilize Nature's Wrath without the use of Dust. They fought the ice-using person, but he was able to get away thanks to a few identical copies of him suddenly appearing from nowhere.
When they dispatched the copies they hurriedly made their way to where Naruto was. When they got there they were treated to the sight of Naruto face down on the ground, he wasn't moving. None of them moved when they saw him like that. Then Ruby fainted getting Blake and Weiss to catch her before she hit the ground. Eucliwood just stood there looking at him but her body was trembling and her fists clenched. Pyrrha moved towards Naruto body to check if he was alright. But Yang didn't care at that time. Her world stopped when she saw him on the ground unmoving with wounds littering his body. She was... afraid.
When he disappeared that was just it, he disappeared. He was still out there, still alive, she could always just find him and drag him back to Patch. They'd get mad at each other; they'd forgive each other, laugh together, etc. She just lost him temporarily.
But in death, they'd never be able to do those things together anymore. She'd never get to spend time with him anymore; never see him laugh at her puns. She's afraid of losing him, more afraid than losing her mother.
Because she…

It was this scene that the newly appointed teams RWBY, LNAR (Linear), PNE (Pine), Glynda and Ozpin walked into. And it was met with varying reactions:
Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Pyrrha: sympathetic, annoyed and twitchy eyes
Nora and Jaune: "aww"
Glynda, Ren, Naruko and Ozpin: smile, mischievous smile and amused smie respectively
Eucliwood: best pouty face she could make
(Everyones imagination)
A chibified Eucliwood is wildly flailing her arms around and her face is set in a very adorable pouty face and said in voice that would melt your heart "Moh! I wanna hug Naru-kun too!~~"
"AWW!" Everyone's 'kawaii' meter hit the roof and they engulfed Eucliwood in one big group hug. Poor girl tried and failed to get free from the fleshy prison. Even Ozpin was affected and did one thing no one in Beacon ever thought he'd do. He dropped his mug, it fell towards the cold, unforgiving floor and it….. didn't break, much to Glynda's ire. It even landed in an upright position for Oum's sake!
Their outburst caught the two hugging teens attention and they separated faster than Ruby could eat a plate of cookies. Both had furious blushes on their faces. Then they sweatdropped when they saw everyone hugging the life out of Eucliwood, Ozpin with a wide eyed expression and Glynda heatedly glaring at Ozpins mug on the floor.
He cleared his throat snapping everyone from what they were doing. Eucliwood seized the moment and ran towards Naruto's bed and hid behind him peeking out every now and then.
Deciding to get a move on Ozpin cleared his throat and spoke "Well Mister Uzumaki, perhaps we've learned a lesson today have we?"
…What?
Did Ozpin just... "Umm..."
"Seriously, running off into the night and going into Emerald Forest, without permission I may add." Ozpin said in an authoritative voice.
THE BASTARD!
"Wait, I thought you said you had permission from to go to Emerald Forest?" Pyrrha asked Naruto.
Naruto was sweating; he can't even say that Ozpin actually ordered him to go to Emerald Forest since no one except Glynda would even belive what he said. After all, what headmaster in their right mind would assign an Initiatee who's not even a student yet to do something so dangerous.
Glynda is looking at her boss eyebrow raised. What was Ozpin doing?
Ozpin on the outside has a stern look, but on the inside he is panicking. Naruto's counteroffensive on him will be swift and brutal, but this will all be worth it.
"Well regardless you are now a student of Beacon on Team PNE and your team leader is….. Miss Eucliwood." Naruto eyebrows rose in surprise, he looked behind him and Eucliwood made a V-sign with her fingers.
Weiss chose this moment to speak "I still don't understand why SHE was made the leader of PNE."
Ozpin looked at Weiss with unreadable eyes and she found herself sweating under his gaze.
"The reason for that Miss Schnee is because of the position he will be holding from now on."
Everyone, except for Naruto, looked at Ozpin wondering what this position is.
"Naruto will be the first ever Student Council President of Beacon!" He dramatically proclaimed with fireworks going off in the background while pointing his finger upwards.
The others oo'd and aahh'd.
Naruto suddenly remembered that he was supposed to pick the other members for the council. He was about to call Ozpin to tell him the names of the other members when Ozpin surprised him by saying HIS own list of the rest of the council members.
"Of course it goes without saying that there will be other members of the council" Ozpin took out a large poster and hanged it on the clinic wall "and here they are."
The poster had the positions of the council printed on it with 'Mascot' added in. The others moved to the poster and were surprised when they found their names on the poster. The positions and person occupying that position are as follows:
President: Naruto Uzumaki
Vice President: Pyrrha Nikos
Secretary: Ruby Rose
Treasurer: Nora Valkyrie, Coco Adel and Naruko Namikaze
Auditor: Lie Ren, Blake Belladonna
Public Relations Officer: Jaune Arc
Sergeant-at-arms: Yang Xiao Long
Mascot: Eucliwood
The others looked at Naruko's name in surprise, with how the two looked very much alike they thought the two to be twins. They still could be but just decided to take up different surnames.
Naruto grew pale, other than Pyrrha and Eu the positions everyone else were put into was just a recipe for disaster.
No offence to Ruby but when it came to organizing thing she really wasn't the best at doing so. Naruko would probably use the money from the council treasury to buy a lot of stuff, mostly ramen, he hopes the other two doesn't have a food addiction or is a shopaholic. Ren and Blake, well he trusted them to keep a leash on the three. Jaune as the PRO, that's just asking for trouble. And finally Yang is essentially the council's peacekeeper….. not good since she has a tendency to punch first, ask questions later.
Among all of them the only person that perfectly fits their role is Eu.
It wasn't so bad.
"Did I mention that we have three new guards in Beacon? I believe their names were Lopez , Simmons and Doc."
Bang.
Everyone jumped in surprise when Naruto knocked himself out by head-butting the wall.
"Did he just…. knock himself out?" Blake asked in irritation. She still hasn't had that talk with him. Everyone nodded and looked at Naruto dully. Had they kept an eye on the door they would've seen a shadowy figure looking at Ruby with a malicious smile while holding... a plate of cookies!
AAANNND DONE!
Well hope you guys liked the second -or was it third- fight scene to be featured in the story. Hope the humor wasn't too try hard but if it is... And a little fluff between Yang and Naruto (if that scene is considered fluff).
And the Student Council is now assembled! What will Naruto revenge prank on Ozpin be!? And if you people didn't get the last scene KURAMA'S PLAN IS IN EFFECT!
Ahem...
Yes... hmmm, i feel like i'm forgetting something.
Kurama: No you aren't
Sure?
Kurama: Yes
... I think you're lying.
Kurama: Have I ever lied to you before?
Stare.
Kurama: ...
Stare.
Kurama: ...
I believe you (kurama: whew) well anyways that's all please review, fave or follow. This is Qrious signing out.
