Sorry dudes but this is not a chapter and neither an Author Note saying that I am coming back. No, this instead is a challenge to anyone who is interested in adopting any of the ideas that I was planning to do but due certain circumstances I will be unable to do.
My first idea was another Halo/RWBY crossover but this is way different to the one I was originally doing.
This story starts at least 10 years before the end of the Human-Covenant war. In this fic the Covenant discovered the planet of Remnant but they take a great deal of interest in the abilities displayed by the humans there and the Dust. So instead of destroying the planet like they would normally do to a planet inhabited by humans, they only glass the major city, destroy the major military forces in the planet (including a great number of huntsmen) and took prisoners any humans they are able to capture to use them in labor camps to mine Dust or in sick experiments to grant the Covenant the ability to use Aura, with anyone that tries to resist the Covenant being public executed to maintain the fear in the remaining population of Remnant. In this story Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang, who are just 10 year old (8 in Ruby's case), are taken by the Covenant for their experiments to give the Covenant the ability to use Aura and are send to High Charity but the UNSC intercepts the ship they were on and rescue by the Spartans from Blue Team, mainly by the Master Chief (John-117) to whom they become emotionally attached. Now the MC will have become something he never in his life had thought to become, a Father.
There are some things I want to point out about this story to anyone who got any interest about it:
First, the Covenant will see the Faunus as a subspecies of humanity and they will treat them just like they would treat normal humans.
Second, the Grimm were exterminated by the Covenant after they found out there point of origin and glass it and in the process unknowingly killing Salem.
Third, there is a small resistance in Remnant trying to liberate Remnant from the Covenant (if you want to focus on it or not, is your choice).
Fourth and main point of this story, the Master Chief would be put in a position where he will be forced to take care of the young members of team RWBY and become a father figure for the four girls, at first he won't like the idea much but in time he will take a liking to the four girls and start to see them as if they were really his daughters.
Fifth, Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang have their Auras unlocked, reason in the story to give them a better chance to survive the Covenant (their respective families were some of the few who were not capture by the Covenant), personal reason, because, in my opinion, will be funny to see the MC trying to deal with four young girls with powers that no one understands.
Sixth and final point, is that Earth humanity is just as capable of using Aura as Remnant humanity, the difference is that the Earth humanity doesn't know how to unlock it and that the Forerunners when they planned to repopulate the entire galaxy had the idea to stunt (Earth humanity) their ability to use Aura forcing them to develop more their mental capacities and with Remnant humanity being the other way around; Some of you will say that that doesn't make sense but I believe that conflict is the major factor that forces humanity to develop, technologically speaking, and considering that Remnant has yet to develop A.I. in the same level as those seen used by the UNSC or ships capable of space flight or weapons of mass destruction like the Atomic bomb even when they are nearly in constant conflict (due to the Grimm), then yeah I think Earth humanity is more technologically advance than Remnant.
Now unto my second idea, this one is a Sonic the Hedgehog/RWBY crossover.
This story takes places nearly 3800 years after the time of Sonic and in the beginning of RWBY canon, but I'll put a backstory so the story could be better understand; 800 years after the time of Sonic a great cataclysm hit Sonic's world (Mobius) destroying the entire world and shortly after the Grimm appear, the survivors of this disaster joined together to try to survive the Grimm and recover from the destruction caused by the cataclysm, but during the time they recover and builded the four kingdoms of Remnant the majority of the population forgot almost everything related to world before the cataclysm, including the legends and history of the past, mainly Sonic and his friends and allies and the Chaos Emeralds, and renamed the planet to Remnant but the few who remember the legends and stories of the past they traveled the seas for a time until they discover a land far away from the rest of the kingdoms, their they discover the remains of one the bases from organization known as G.U.N. (A/N: for those who doesn't know who G.U.N. is, it is basically the military force of the planet, that had the responsibility to protect it from the multiple threats that targeted the world, mainly Dr. Eggman), they also found the Master Emerald, with what they found they started to rebuild and create a new kingdom one that remain hidden from the rest of the world know as the kingdom of Neo-Mobius and thanks to the tech found in the G.U.N. base and with the Master Emerald offering a great deal of Chaos Energy, enough to power the majority of their industries and cities of the kingdom, they were able to recover even faster than the rest of the world and become the strongest kingdom of Remnant and the only one capable to achieve space flight (thanks to their reliance of Chaos Energy instead of Dust). 10 years before the beginning of RWBY canon a frigate of the Schnee Dust Company would discover the fifth kingdom of Remnant, this throws the four kingdoms of Remnant for a loop because of not knowing the existence of this kingdom, the relations between the four kingdoms are shaky at first and even it turns violent between Atlas and the Neo-Mobius exploding in a short war that ends in the favor of the kingdom of Neo-Mobius, in time the relations between the kingdoms of Vale, Mistral, Vacuo and Neo-Mobius became more stable but Atlas still held a lot of bad blood with Neo-Mobius and vice versa. The story begins when a group of students from Neo-Mobius kingdom are sent to study in the school of huntsmen of Vale, Beacon Academy to further improve relations between the two kingdoms that group consists of four Faunus teenagers, three boys and one girl; the first is Sonic, the second is Shadow, the third is Silver and the fourth is Blaze. But during their time there they will help their new friends fight evils from both past and the present and discover several secrets about them and their friends back home.
Now important details about this story:
First Sonic and his friends and allies all have been reborn in this time but they don't possess the memories of their past selves but in time they will recover them.
Second, everyone is capable of using Chaos Energy but is not easy use; one must train themselves way beyond their limits to actually use them and even then is not guarantee that they will be able to use Chaos Energy to full power.
Third, there is a group of people now as Chaos Born, this people are people that show a lot of potential in using Chaos Energy since the day they were born and normally they are able to use it more naturally than other Chaos users but this group are rare, in the kingdom of Neo-Mobius 1 of every 10,000 person is born as Chaos Born and in the rest of the world every 1 of 100,000 is a Chaos Born. Sonic and his gang are some of the few that were born as Chaos Born, also Ruby Rose is one of the few Chaos Born but she doesn't learn about this until further in the story.
Fourth, the kingdom of Neo-Mobius is ruled by a constitutional monarchy, in fact Sonic is a member of the royal family and current heir of the throne.
Fifth and very important point, Dr. Eggman still is alive, well more or less, because during his last years of his life he created a robot that resemble himself and passed his conscience and mind into the robot, but after that he decided to leave the planet and create his kingdom in another planet this lead to a series of conquest across the galaxy making Eggman the ruler of a great part of the galaxy rivaled in power by other 3 factions but Eggman at learning of the reincarnations of Sonic and his friends he decided to return to Mobius/Remnant to finish what he started so long ago.
Sixth, the location of the Seven Chaos Emeralds: two of the Emeralds are located in the kingdom of Neo-Mobius one used to boost their military and the other in the power of the royal family. Two others are in the possession of Dr. Eggman, one used to create Fake Chaos Emeralds (that he uses to power his most powerful robots) and the other to power his robotic body. Another Emerald is in possession of Salem which she uses to boost her own abilities. The sixth Emerald is in possession of Ruby Rose, this Emerald had been passed from generation to generation in the Rose family as a lucky charm and it was Summer's last gift to Ruby before she died. The last Emerald is hidden deep in Emerald forest and is supposed to be found by Sonic during the initiation of Beacon Academy.
Seven, the kingdom of Neo-Mobius is in possession of the Ark colony space station and is used as scientifically center and last resource weapon, while they are unable to use the Eclipse cannon (due moral reasons) they still were able to activate the rest of the weapons onboard, making the Ark as a gigantic space fortress.
Eight, the kingdom of Neo-Mobius has politic of cooperation between Faunus and Humans and had tried, with a lot of success in their kingdom, to eradicate discrimination between the two species.
Nine, in this story Mobians and Faunus are the same thing.
Ten, Chaos Energy is far more powerful than dust and it doesn't possess the same limitations like in space and is the main source of energy in the kingdom of Neo-Mobius, also Chaos users with lots ability in the art of using Chaos Energy tend to become stronger than even some of the most powerful huntsmen in the planet (including the likes of Ozpin, Qrow and the Maidens).
