Chapter 1: Beacon Academy

On Remnant, located on the Eastern edge of the Kingdom of Vale, was Beacon Academy. Its large tower rising high to meet the clouds as it stood above the grounds of Vale. The Academy was one of the most prestigious combat schools in the entire world. On this day, new students were arriving to pass the entrance exams to attend and train to become Huntsman, the defenders of all life against the monsters known as Grimm. Many of these new students had just gotten off the airships, and now one of these future defenders of humanity from the creatures of Grimm…was gawking at every weapon that came within her line of sight.

"Yang! Yang! Look, that guy has a collapsible staff!" said the girl as she pointed excitedly at the weapon in question. Just as she turned around, she gasped as she noticed another amazing armament and immediately started fawning over that. "And she's got twin battle pistols!" if possible, the girl almost appeared to float towards the weapon as if she were literally on cloud nine, only for a strong hand to grab her hood and pull her back.

The girl in question was a fifteen-year-old with black hair ending in red tips. She was wearing a black long-sleeved blouse covered by a red cloak and hood with a high collar and red trim on the sleeves over a black waist cincher on the front, as well as a skirt of similar design with red lining. On her feet, she wore a pair of black stockings and black combat boots with red laces. The oddest thing about her, however, was her eyes, which shimmered a vibrant silver, a color that was a rarity.

This was Ruby Rose. Huntress in training and soon to be student at Beacon Academy. After impressing Headmaster Ozpin by stopping a robbery committed by infamous crime lord, Roman Torchwick, she was given pass to attend his school two years ahead of when she would normally attend.

The one who pulled on her hood was a much taller girl with long, curly blonde hair that went all the way down to her knees and lilac eyes. She was physically well-built, wearing a tan jacket with a short yellow crop top underneath, with both being designed to expose her stomach. A pair of black shorts with a brown belt covered her waist while long orange socks and brown leather boots covered her feet. On her neck, she wore an orange scarf, while her wrists were adorned with fingerless gloves and yellow bracelets that in truth were her weapons.

Her name was Yang Xiao Long, and she was Ruby's older half-sister. Right now, she was trying her best to prevent Ruby from going overboard with her love of weaponry and hopefully get her to interact with people.

"Whoa there, slow your roll sis. They're just weapons," Yang told her excitable little sister.

Ruby looked at her with mock aghast, as if she was offended by the words that came out of her sister's mouth, "JUST WEAPONS! They're extensions of ourselves Yang! They're apart of us! And they're so cool."

"Why don't you swoon over your own weapon instead? Aren't you proud of it?" Yang asked. At her question, Ruby pulled out her weapon. A large red custom made red and black scythe that Ruby hugged as if it were a teddy bear.

"Of course I love Crescent Rose," she replied, "But I just love seeing other weapons. It's like meeting new people, except better."

At that, Yang playfully pulled Ruby's hood over her head, "Ruby, come on. You need to make some friends of your own. There's plenty of people here for you to meet."

"But, why would I need to do that if I have you?" Ruby asked.

"Well about that…" Yang said as she was suddenly swarmed by all her friends, "MYFRIENDSAREHEREGOTTAGOBYE!" she and the group ran off so fast that it sent Ruby spinning in place. She asked a barrage of questions to her now gone sister who didn't hear any of them.

"Wait! Do we go to our dorms first? Where are our dorms? Do we have dorms?" and like that, she plopped on the floor…right into someone's luggage.

"What do you think you're doing!?" asked a shrill, high pitched voice.

Ruby, recovering from her disorientation, looked up and saw the person who asked. She was a pale, blue eyed petite young seventeen-year-old with snow white hair that was put into an asymmetrical ponytail on the right side of her head. She wore a white dress that went from a pure white to a more light blue color as it went down with a snowflake design at the hem and white wedge boots on her feet, as well as a small coat with bell-like sleeves and an identical color scheme to her dress. She was currently looking at Ruby with an angry expression.

"Uh, sorry?" Ruby tried to apologize, but she was interrupted by the white-haired girl again.

"Sorry! Do you have any clue how much damage you could have caused?" she…asked? Yelled? Yelled. Definitely yelled.

"Uhhh…" was Ruby's only response as she tried to help pick up the briefcases that she ended up scattering. She gave one to the girl in white, only for her to snatch it out of her hands.

"Give me that!" she yelled before she proceeded to rant on how what she was carrying was Dust from the Schnee Quarries, but Ruby struggled to listen because the girl in front of her shook the Dust vial, causing Dust to enter Ruby's nose. And just as she asked/demanded, "What do you have to say for yourself?" Ruby sneezed.

"AAAAAACHOOOOO!"

BOOOOOOOOOOM!

And this resulted in a large explosion that enveloped them both. The vial of dust flying from the white-haired girl's hand.

"UNBELIEVABLE! Look at what you did you-" The girl started to yell at Ruby again, until…

"Hey. YOU!"

A new, deep voice forced itself into the very one-sided attempt at conversation. Both girls looked to the source to see a tall man walking their way. He was broad shouldered with white hair much like the aristocratic girl, but his was wild and seemed to loath order as it stood up. His eyes were heterochromic, his left an emerald green while his right was a blood red, with both glaring at the white-haired girl. He wore a red sleeveless turtleneck shirt with a black stripe going down the center, with his hands, one of which carried the Dust vial, covered by fingerless gloves that stopped just short of his elbows. He also wore a large belt with black baggy pants and steel-toed boots. Perhaps the most eye-catching thing about him was his weapon. On the back of his waist was a large sword, but this sword was massive in size, looking more like a large slab of metal. It was sheathed diagonally with the hilt of the blade on his right.

"The hell are you doing?" He asked, clearly not giving a second thought to pleasantries.

"What am I doing? I'm telling this walking safety hazard-" she tried to say, but was immediately interrupted.

"From what I saw, the only reason that happened was because you shook a vial of Dust in her face," he said, glaring right at her as he towered over her. "Tch, but what do you expect from a Schnee? They fuck up and somehow it's everyone else's fault."

The girl, now identified as a Schnee, was fuming as her face turned red with rage, "How dare you! You know nothi-"

"Look snow bitch. Want my advice? Crawl back to Atlas where you belong. At least there you can step on people and get payed for it like a good little jackass who thinks they own the fucking world," the man sneered. If it were possible, Ruby was sure she practically heard steam from the Schnee girl's head as her whole face flared up once more with fury. Rather than chastise the man further, the Schnee girl snatched her Dust vial from him and gathered her things, storming off to the Academy.

Ruby, not wanting to leave the 'conversation' on such a bad note yelled, "I promise I'll make this up to you!"

"Don't bother kid, she's a waste of time," The man said as Ruby turned to him, "You're better off ignoring her."

"Uh, thank…you… miste-hey wait!" Ruby tried to thank him for helping her, at least, that's what she thought that was, but the man just turned and walked towards the Academy as well, seemingly ignoring her, "Hey, wait a minute! At least let me say thanks or something!"

"Look kid, I didn't do that for you," he said, not even bothering to look at her as he walked away with his hands in his pockets, "I did it because a snot nosed high-and-mighty bitch needed to be put in her place. How about you head home? Last thing this place needs is a babysitting service."

"But I'm a student here!"

That seemed to stop the man in his tracks as he turned to Ruby, not looking…okay, he still looked kinda mad, but at this point, Ruby was assuming that was his default expression. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Aren't you a little young to be here?"

Ruby responded with, "I'm fifteen. Okay, that's kinda young, but not that young. I just got moved up by a bit," she tried to turn the conversation to him, "What about you? Aren't you a little old to be here?"

The man replied, "I'm eighteen, and last I checked, it's less odd than skipping a grade. Look, kid, I don't know why the hell you got moved up and honestly, I don't give a shit. Right now, I'm heading to wherever the hell the main hall is."

And with that, the man left, leaving Ruby behind as she slumped to the floor and laid on her back, "Welcome to Beacon," she muttered to herself.

As she laid on the ground, she heard footsteps and saw a hand enter her field of vision. "Need a hand?" a voice said.

Ruby looked up and saw a young, blonde man with blue eyes wearing white body armor, a black t-shirt underneath, blue jeans, and sneakers offered his hand to help her up. She gladly accepted. As she stood up, she noticed something about him.

"Aren't you the guy who threw up on the plane?"

Alright, so here is my second attempt at writing a fanfic on this site. This time, I decided to go with something a lot more conventional. Pretty basic really, just a RWBY/BlazBlue crossover that mixes the two worlds. I don't have everything planned out so I wouldn't expect too much. I probably won't do nearly as good a job as any of the people on this site who have written similar concepts before, but I still want to try.

Now, this was largely inspired by trvn's Aura of the Azure and d3Alora's Against Despair, so I recommend you go check those out, given that I think they're much better than what I'm doing. The major difference that I have though is that I'm not including anything related to Guilty Gear or the other CTB franchises. For one thing, that'd be far too much for me to juggle, and another, I don't know anything on the other franchises, so keeping things streamlined to BB and RWBY works best for me.

EDIT: Made some adjustments to the grammar for this chapter.
