Hanging out with villains was, interesting, to say the least, the Black Knight thought. They only really planned things and giving out orders. It was all really boring. Well, at least right now it was. What the Black Knight, dubbed Ausar by Raidriar, really wanted to do was to go out and enjoy himself in Vale- even though he'd been there for a couple of years, he still hasn't explored the entirety of it.

But right now, he couldn't do that. Right now he was stuck working with (Read: for) Cinder in the tunnels beneath Mountain Glenn. "Hurry it up, you mutts! We haven't got all day!" Roman yelled some 'encouragement' at the Faunus working there. Ausar rolled his eyes, thankful that Roman couldn't see it, and primed another charge.

One good thing about him being forcefully displaced into this world was having skills that he didn't have in his original world. Like, he could easily work with bombs and weapons like he's been around them all his life!

His thoughts were interrupted by the sudden crashing of the cave's ceiling. Looking up, he saw someone falling through the top. Moving quickly, he got underneath them and caught them, lessening the fall damage. Looking at who he caught he almost freaked out and dropped her. "Good midnight, Miss Rose, I see you had the courtesy to, drop in on us?" he said, forcefully putting on a mask of slight boredom, as to not embarrass himself in front of the Main Character.

Ruby Rose groaned reflexively at the pun, before it registered that she had heard that voice before. Eyes widening in alarm, she pointed at the head of the figure, which her finger poked the helmet, and shouted, "You! You were at the tower!"

Suppressing the urge to wipe his helmet where Ruby poked it, Ausar responded, "Yes, I was. And so were you. In case you didn't hear Raidriar before, my name is Ausar, or the Black Knight."

Ruby's eyes narrowed and she blinked several times, "How is Ausar related to a color?"

"It's not. Now think about Roman's name, what image does 'roman' strike in your mind?"

Ruby's eyebrows creased in thought, "Uh, romaine salad?"

Ausar snorted, then looked over at the approaching Roman, "Hear that, Roman? Miss Rose says you remind her of romaine salad!"

"Yes, yes, I heard it, I heard it. Now, what is little Red doing down here! Come to spy on me?"

Ausar let Ruby down, tuning out the conversation, but held onto her arms and led her wherever Roman was going. They talked for some time, well, mostly Roman gloating, but Ruby had some input here and there. He was sure that by the time they were done talking it'd be morning already, but their conversation was interrupted by the rest of the main cast.

Ausar, the Black Knight, had only one thing to say about this, "Welp, here comes the party."

~At Beacon Academy~

Jade Forrest, or at least that's what she goes by, was a good student at Beacon, to say the least. At most, she was an anomaly. She was the only one in the entire school to be without a team. While this might seem bad to most, it wasn't really all that bad; they had adjusted for her when she was first found and brought in two years ago.

Two years ago, she was suddenly forcefully pulled out of her world and dropped into Remnant. She knew this by how the forest looked, how the air felt, and how the moon was shattered. Of course, it was daytime when she appeared, so she could just barely see the moon, but it was enough to show her that it was shattered.

Now, back in her old world, she was an avid fan of the western anime RWBY, and had read numerous fanfics about OCs or Self-Inserts getting dropped into RWBY to know how to play along. So she did, she went through initiation, but to her surprise, it wasn't when canon started, it was two years before!

But that didn't deter her, she went through Beacon academy like any other would- other than, surprisingly, without a team. Despite that, she still made her way and mark as the only person who was without a team to make it through Beacon. When it came time for canon, she had almost freaked out at seeing Ruby, Yang, and Jaune on the same airship as her.

Thankfully, she had a grip on her reactions and quickly moved away from them, despite wanting to stick around to see the show in person, and up onto the upper deck. She noticed a golden flash from nearby in the streets, but before she could see what it was, Glynda appeared and started her regular spiel of how they were in an incredible time of peace.

Jade shook her head of the thoughts, despite what most think, she still felt that there should've been someone, or someones, here studying here with her. Pencil tapping a constant beat on the table, she set it down and stood up, restless. It was an agitation that she knew well- she felt it every time she went on a mission in the field with Glynda- er- Professor Goodwitch. It was the agitation of the calm before a fight.

Packing up her things, she dropped by her dorm- which seemed even lonelier now- and dropped off her stuff before walking out to watch the city light up with the glistening rays of sunlight. The city's windows started lighting up with light as the sun rose at the right angle to show green across the city. That's when the sirens began.

Panic jolted through her before she suppressed it and ran towards the landing docks, already calling her locker. It landed beside her and she opened it up and grabbed her weapon, Greenchaku, latching it onto her back. Noticing that a Bullhead was just about to take off, she jumped on it, coming face to face with Team JNPR.

Ignoring her insides twisting with glee, she asked, "Juniper, what's happening?"

Jaune looked startled, "Oh, Jade! Uh, Ruby called me earlier saying that there was a train loaded with explosives headed towards downtown Vale via the old railroad."

Jade's eyes widened, "That's not good. I'm guessing that Ozpin's already forming groups to take out to the site. Let's continue on and make sure the Grimm don't get too far into the city before we get there."

"Y-yes ma'am!" Jaune stuttered.

Smirking on the inside, she moved up to the cockpit.

~Downtown Vale~

This was a bad idea; this IS a bad idea. SO WHY IS HE STILL HERE!? Oh, right, to help mitigate the damage. That's right. Ausar sighed, once more regretting his decision to join the baddies the night of the CCT Tower infiltration. Bracing himself on the train, he felt the entire impact as it smashed into the rock of the end of the track.

Ears ringing, he stood up dazedly. Steadying himself on a nearby Beowulf, he snapped its neck when he finally got the ground to stop spinning and the ringing out of his ears. Tilting his head to let a bullet whizz by his head, he started to run away from the fighting.

So when a figure dropped in front of him holding a weapon, he was fairly surprised.

Jade narrowed her eyes in confusion- the person in the black and gold armor in front of her had a golden beacon on them. "Who are you?" She demanded, pointing Greenchaku at them.

Raising his hands in surrender, Ausar introduced himself, "Ausar, The Black Knight."

She frowned, still confused. Behind the two of them, they heard raised voices, "Alright, Kira, if you want to fight, that's fine- use that thing if you need to- oof!" the voice let out a sound of exclamation as he ran into Jade.

"Hey, watch where you're-" she cut off, seeing the two golden beacons on the newcomers. "What the hell."

The newcomers, a man with brown hair and silver eyes and a girl that looked suspiciously like Blake Belladonna, stared at her. Finally the man spoke up, "What? Is there something on my face?"

"I- uh- you- your eyes," Jade finally stuttered out.

"Yes, I know they're silver, so what?"

Jade couldn't articulate enough about what she was seeing. She was sure that these two, no, three were the ones she was supposed to be in Beacon with. The man rolled his eyes, "Whatever, I don't have time for this." He reached over his left shoulder and pulled, out, a sword forming from the light that shone there. He shot forward, leaving behind his possible faunus companion, who grimaced.

"Sorry about him, Silver was having a good morning today when the sirens went off. He's just a bit agitated."

"I can tell," the armored man, Ausar, spoke up. "By the way, can I run now?"

"No," both the girl and Jade replied.

"Darn. Worth a shot." they stood there in silence for a moment, only the sounds of fighting made their way towards them. Ausar spoke up again, "If I help kill all the Grimm, can I go?"

"Uh, Sure?" the girl replied- Jade was pretty sure her name was Kira, depending on what Silver said earlier.

"I- ugh. Fine, if you help clean up the mess you made," Jade ordered.

"Hey, I didn't make any mess! It's all Roman and Cinder's fault!"

"I know, but that doesn't give you a way out," Jade replied.

"Wait- you, know?" he put a certain type of emphasis on 'know'.

"Yeah? Why?"

"Aw, sweet! I'm not the only one here!"

Kira spoke up again, "I- I think Silver knows, too. Depending on what he told me at least."

"Really?" Kira nodded, confirming it. "Huh, cool! So we got three people who know about RWBY!" Ausar paused, "The show, not the team."

"I-I think I might also know about RWBY," Kira said.

"Wait, really?" Ausar asked. Jade was silent, watching through her chlorokinesis at the fight happening and helping where she could.

Kira nodded, the paused, debating on whether she should tell them. Taking a deep breath, she made her choice, "Yeah, I- I have a second set of memories that I think are from someone else. They came about two years ago. And- and I haven't told Silver about this."

"Oh, really? Quiz time!" Ausar said, "Who was the latest president of the United States?"

Kira frowned, "Donald Trump? Is what they're telling me."

Ausar grinned from underneath his helmet, "Woah, yeah, they're from someone else alright. I don't think anyone from Remnant would get that."

Coming back to, Jade ordered the two of them, "Shut up and follow me."

"Okay, miss! As long as I get to go free after this!" Ausar followed her, as did Kira after a brief hesitation.

"You will, don't worry. Also, my name's Jade Forrest. Or, at least that's what I go by."

"Wait- Forrest, as in Forrest Gump?"

Jade looked at him, startled, "You've seen it?"

"Oh yeah- didn't really like it, though."

"Really? I thought it was pretty good."

Ausar opened his mouth, but was cut off by the body of a Ursa being flung at him. Dodging it, but only barely, he yelled out, "Oi! I'm here to help!"

A voice filled with barely restrained glee yelled back, "Sorry! Didn't see you there!"

Jade looked over to see Kira groaning softly. Taking pity on the poor girl she said, "Kira, take the leaf to the rooftops, try to pick off any Beos or the like if you need too." looking at Ausar, she commanded, "Kill the Grimm and leave, but make sure to make it as inconspicuous as possible." Ausar gave her a thumbs up and ran off into the crowd of Grimm. Looking up, she yelled out, "Silver, on your left!"

Silver struck out with his off arm at an approaching Grimm, and yelled back, "Thanks!"

Jade ran out into the battle once more, feeling somehow less empty than she had before- maybe it was because she had found the people who were supposed to be her teammates? It didn't matter now, she had to focus on killing the Grimm.

Moving in sync with her plants, she quickly cut through the Grimm that came at her. Flowing gracefully, she cut down an Ursa that came at her, slicing it in half effortlessly. As its body parts flew past her disintegrating, she was already moving on to the next one, Greenchaku flying at it. Impaling the Beowulf through the head, she summoned it back and caused some foliage to grow out of the ground and trap the King Kaiju that was approaching the rest of them.

Running towards Silver, she called out, "Silver! Lift!" He looked at her and nodded, a shield formed on his left arm and he held it out for Jade to jump onto it. Landing on the shield, she was shot up into the air towards the Kaiju, Greenchaku at the ready. Below her, Silver shot a blast of pressurized air at the ground, lifting himself off, sending him hurtling towards the white head of the trapped Kaiju.

Both Jade and Silver reached the Kaiju at the same time, Silver's Infinity Blade and Jade's Greenchaku both slicing through the monochrome heads at the same time. Due to the Infinity Blade's lifeforce stealing properties, the white head didn't disintegrate, while the black head did, causing a strange rift where the black and white bodies met.

Oobleck, who was fighting with Zwei, saw this and had to forcefully repress his inner desire to investigate the anomaly and focused back on fighting.

Silver rolled with his landing and formed a bow in his hands, then shot an approaching Beowulf in the neck with an arrow guided by air. Jade landed on an Ursa, stabbing Greenchaku straight through its head, killing it instantly. Standing up slowly, Silver used the newly dubbed 'Infinity Bow' and shot several more Grimm, killing them instantly. Jade watched as the Ursa she killed disintegrated while the Grimm shot by the Infinity Bow didn't.

"Oobleck's gonna have a field day with this," she muttered under her breath. Shaking her head, she moved back into the fighting. Suddenly, a bullet whizzed right in front of her. Startled she looked up at what it hit- it was a Creeper- then looked up at where it came from. She blinked as she saw Kira waving at her. Confused, yet pleased, she waved back. Her eyes widened in fear when she saw a dark form rise up behind Kira- "Kir-!" she started to shout- as did someone else- but when Kira spun backwards waving her arm at the figure, the Grimm got itself incased in ice.

Kira stared at the Grimm that was incased in ice, ready to pounce on her. Shakily, she moved her gaze towards her arm, which was colder than normal. She stood up unsteadily and moved backwards, away from the Grimm- she hadn't learned all their names- and pulled up the sniper that Raidriar had given her before they left Silver's apartment. Grabbing the gun with her off hand, she pointed it at the Grimm and shot, blowing its head to bits.

She grimaced, hating having to kill it, but she knew deep down that they were soulless monsters that were going to try and kill her no matter what happens to them. She was startled out of her thoughts when gentle arms gripped her shoulders, "Kira, are you alright? You don't have to fight if you don't want to. You can leave the gun here and run back to the apartment if you want." Silver's gentle silver eyes bored into her, searching her to make sure she was fine.

Moving out of his grip, she shook her head, "I'm fine, Silver, just a bit startled." She took a deep breath, "I need to fight, Silver. I don't want to be left out when there's people still left to save."

"You don't need to, Kira," Silver said softly.

Kira was determined. "I want to, then."

Sighing, Silver hugged her. "Okay. I'll teach you how to shoot a gun later if you want."

Kira nodded into his shirt, "Yeah, I'd like that."

Silver pulled out of the hug, amusement in his eyes while a smirk played on his lips, "Then it's a date?"

Kira giggled, rolling her eyes. "You're insufferable."

Silver opened his mouth to reply, when Jade popped up over the side of the building, "Sorry to ruin the moment, but there's, you know, an entire horde of Grimm here. We kinda need all hands on deck."

"Duty calls, Kira. Meet me at the store when we're done!" With that, Silver pushed off the rooftop with a blast of pressurized air and back into the fight.

"So, are you two-?" Jade asked, motioning to where Silver was and Kira.

Kira nodded, "Yeah, we're dating." and oh, how that filled her with joy!

"Huh. Anyway, could you keep a cover fire for us?"

"Yeah, I'll get back on it." Kira moved back to the edge of the rooftop while Jade rode back down on leaves towards the ground.

Smashing another Grimm's head in, Ausar asked, "So, Cinder, what's gonna happen after this?"

"We'll get into the tournament," Cinder replied coolly, killing off another Grimm.

"That's it?" Ausar asked, bewildered, as he stabbed another Grimm through the head with The Vile Blade.

"We have more plans, but you aren't cleared to hear them."

Ausar was offended, he knew more about them than they did! But, of course, he didn't voice his thoughts, "All right then, keep your secrets."

"I will, thank you."

Grumbling under his breath about tight-lipped villains, Ausar fought his way away from Cinder. Clearing a path that was quickly filled up with more Grimm as they fought to kill.

In the courtyard where the train had emerged, Teams RWBY, JNPR, and CFVY fought on, taking out most of the Grimm that came through the tunnel. Ruby let out a grunt as she killed off another Beowulf, "Ugh, they just keep coming! Don't they ever stop?"

Blake's eyes narrowed, "There's gotta be an end somewhere. They can't have limitless Grimm."

"But what if they do?" Ruby asked, shooting an Ursa in the head with Crescent Rose.

"Then that's a serious problem," Yang spoke up, uppercutting a Beowulf.

"For them and us."Pyrrha spoke up.

Jaune came up to them, panting, "What do you mean by them?"

"If they lose control of the Grimm, they might come after the controller," Pyrrha explained.

"Oh! That makes sense." Jaune nodded, "So- woah!" he exclaimed when someone pushed past him.

"Ah! Excuse me, ladies, Jaune. I was merely going to go patch up this hole and see who or what might be controlling the Grimm."

It was a suit of armor! To be precise, a very familiar suit of armor, Raidriar. "You!" Ruby exclaimed, pointing at it. "You were there! At the Tower!"

"And the docks," Blake added coolly.

Raidriar looked between them, "Yes, I was. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go kill off whatever's doing this." the suit of armor moved past the two teams and into the tunnel, ignoring the Grimm around him.

The two teams were silent for a moment. Weiss spoke up, "Did- did anyone notice that the Grimm aren't going after him?"

"That is strange," Ren agreed.

"So, like, does he not have a soul or something?" Nora asked.

"Nora," Ren admonished.

"What? It's a valid question!"

As Raidriar ventured deeper into the tunnels, he saw where the train blew holes into the top, letting the Grimm drop down, but no more Grimm were dropping into the tunnels. Instead, they were coming out of a puddle of black goo that was on the ground.

"Huh, so it seems the Black Queen deemed it necessary to do this. What a shame." opening up his hand, he summoned fire to it and threw it at the puddle, which promptly lit on fire. Pleasantly surprised, Raidriar commented, "So it's flammable. I'm sure Silver would love to hear that."

Watching as the puddle burned up, the Grimm that were spawned from it dying in the heat, Raidriar started moving back towards the cavern entrance. He stopped when he heard a voice, "So you're the one that Cinder spoke of."

"I only recently came to life, if you're looking for the one who wore this armor, he's not here."

"Oh? And who might that be?"

"I'm sorry, I'm not allowed to say that."

"That's a shame, Raidriar, was it? It's hard to keep track of names these days, so many people, not enough time. Well, actually, I have plenty of time. I'm immortal, you know."

"I know. Silver told me." it was only after he spoke those words, did Raidriar realize his mistake.

"Oh, so Silver is his name. Thank you, Raidriar, you have been very helpful."

Raidriar started running towards the entrance, ignoring whatever Salem was going to say next. Running outside, he yelled out, "Silver! Bring it down!"

Silver, who was waiting for Raidriar to come back, nodded to Jade, who helped him cover the entrance to the tunnel. Rock and vines flowed over the entrance, creating an intricate pattern on the front of it. As the flowers slowed down to a stop, they started transforming into pure silver, leaving a shining structure where the hole to the tunnel used to be.

Raidriar skidded to a stop next to Silver and spoke in a low voice, "The Black Queen knows who you are."

Silver's eyes widened, and he muttered, "Darnit. Well, it can't be helped, she was going to find out somehow."

Jade looked over at the two of them, "What are the two of you talking about?"

"The Black Queen knows who I am," Silver answered grimly.

Jade's eyes widened in alarm, "That's not good. What'd you do to earn her attention?"

"Other than antagonize Roman, Cinder, and Emerald? Nothing."

"What'd you do?" Jade asked.

"I messed with Emerald, talked with Roman, who's actually a pretty nice guy, and just met Cinder. She's got a hate boner for everyone, though, so no big deal."

"Man, you're really not liked."

Silver shrugged. "When you see Ozpin, tell him to freshen up on combat, I'd rather not have him die this time around."

Jade frowned, "But canon-" She was cut off by Silver landing a hand on her shoulder.

"Canon's been derailed for several years, now, we can make it go screw itself. Now is the time for action. Save Penny, Pyrrha, and Ozpin from their fates. Have Yang keep her arm and make sure that Blake doesn't run off. Make sure that Jaune doesn't become suicidal." Silver lifted his hand and walked off, Raidriar following him.

"What about you?" Jade asked, looking back at him.

Silver looked back at her, his silver eyes flashing. "Me? I'll be working. No Matter What Happens, Work Never Stops, you know." And with that, he walked off.

I have, like, 3 more pre-made chapters after i published the 14, so we're set for a few weeks.

Also, shameless title drop.
