Hi Everyone, so there have been a few questions. I'm mostly basing it on the mods seen in Achievement Hunter videos as they give me some creative qualities and ideas to use in this story. Mostly off of their latest galacticraft series. I will try and and curb some of the more ridiculous ideas in Omakes at the end of a chapter if I feel like it. RWBY is owned by Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum, while Mojang owns minecraft.
-Forever Fall Two Weeks Later-
Cardin, still covered in sap, looks up at Jaune as his savior offers a hand. Cardin smiles as he takes it and is lifted back up on his feet.
"Holy crap, Jaune!" Cardin from team CDRL exclaimed in shock, truly confused and baffled at what just happened.
Jaune looked into his eyes, a dangerous glint appeared in his eyes, "Don't ever mess with my team - my friends - ever again." Jaune said, emphasizing each two words. "Got it?" Grabbing the front of Cardin and dragging him down to Jaune's eye level.
Cardin looks intimidated, possibly even apologetic. Jaune releases the front of his armor, and turns and walks away from a frozen Cardin. However, when Jaune turned to the side, he saw a pack of Beowolves staring Team CDRL and himself down. Jaune, and the rest of the team while shocked, pulled out their shields and weapons, ready for a fight. The Alpha Beowolf came to the front of the pack, and stared down Jaune.
From the Bushes near the site, "Should we help them now Pyrrha?" Ruby whispered, with Weiss right next to her, saber drawn ready for battle.
Just as Pyrrha was about to give out the order, an explosion rocked the area. Everyone jumped in shock and fell down due to the shockwave of the explosion. Below the Beowolves was the epicenter of the explosion. It immediately wiped out the pack, and the Alpha, heavily wounded, fled into a deeper part of the forest away from the group. Guts and blood of the creatures were spread out around the newly formed crater.
Pyrrha, Weiss and Ruby quickly get up and go to the clearing. Team CDRL quickly fled after the explosion, unsure and terrified of what could possibly happen to them. Jaune bravely stood in front of the hole, shield up, sword out, a happy look appeared on his face when he realized he had backup in the form of Pyrrha, Weiss, and Ruby. Each one got ready for a difficult fight, as they were unsure on the type of Grimm that could create an explosion underground.
Suddenly, a yellow metal hat bobbed up, along with the face of a familiar person, who got up, spread his arms out, and fell back down in the grass, a pleased look on his face as he took in the suns rays.
"STEVE?!" The entire group yelled in shock, unsure of this new development.
Steve turned around, "Oh hey guys, how's it going?"
"But..." Weiss started, "y-you..." and continued, "HOW?!" an angry expression plastered across her face, as she could not figure out what just happened.
"Well," Steve began, "I had some explosives." he started to explain hoping the group would understand, but then Weiss interuppted him.
"WHY DO YOU NEED EXPLOSIVES TO BREACH THE SURFACE?! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH DUST YOU NEED TO CREATE AN EXPLOSION OF THAT MAGNITUDE!" Weiss yelled at Steve, who had his arms up in defense.
And then he deadpans, "What's Dust?"
Weiss almost started foaming at the mouth in anger, so Ruby decided to diffuse the situation and quickly decided to ask, "What are you doing in Forever Fall Steve?"
"So I was making a new mine shaft, and I got lost in this cave system, so I decided to get to the surface." Steve said, hoping that it could explain everything. "I also ran into a few of these Grimm and I ran out of torches, so I figured the best way to get out would be to breach the surface."
"Okay then," Jaune said, "Well, I think its best we get back to Professor Goodwitch and head back to Beacon."
"Hey do you think I could hitch a ride with you guys? I don't know the way back from here..."
"Sure!" Pyrrha and Ruby answered, and they started to walk toward the rest of the class.
As they started walking back Weiss decided to confront Steve again. "You know that you can't keep any resources from here since you don't own any of this land right?!"
Everyone else was getting ready to quiet down Weiss, but then Steve spoke up. "I'm familiar with Remnant law Weiss, I know that anything below five hundred meters is fair game due to the fact that the most," he paused, and put up air quotes "useful" he put down the air quotes, "resources cannot be found below that depth. In fact, wasn't it your grandfather who lobbied that law with all the great councils?" That immediately shut Weiss up.
Pyrrha looked hesitant, but then decided to ask, "Ummm... That's useful to know I guess, but how did you find that out? As far as I know you've never stepped foot in Beacons library."
Steve said, "You are correct, but I have my own library now." He left it at that, "You guys will be able to see it on the tour in a few weeks!"
"Wait... tour? Of what?" Jaune asked, wondering how in the hell a man could acquire a library so quickly.
"My mountain of course! It still needs some work, but it should be ready for some initial tours in the next few weeks." He finished, spotting Glynda Goodwitch in the distance with Team CDRL in front of her panting. "Professor Goodwitch!" He waved, and started walking up to her, ending the conversation with the four students, who were left dumbfounded at the fact there would be a tour of a mountain.
Glynda Goodwitch turned around and saw Steve with the four remaining students missing from the roster as they were preparing to leave. Team CDRL were looking in confusion, having no idea about this teenager that just appeared.
Professor Goodwitch was quite shocked Steve appeared here in Forever Fall, "I got lost," He explained, do you think I could hitch a ride with you guys back to Beacon?" She nodded speechlessly, knowing she would get a headache if she thought about what he was doing here and how he got here.
-After the Airship Ride-
Professor Ozpin greeted the students as they came back from their first field trips, with Jaune being the first one off and throwing up in the trashcan, with Pyrrha following closely behind and rubbing his back in a soothing way.
Ozpin noticed immediately that there was an extra teenager that came back with the group, 'I hope Glynda didn't pick up any more strays.' He thought, knowing that while the woman had a cold exterior, there was a softer, more caring layer beneath.
Ozpin saw the glinting gold hat, and his eyes widened, 'Is that such a common material that he made a hat out of gold?!' and he made eye contact with Steve, who nodded and approached him. "Professor Ozpin, it's a pleasure to see you again." Ozpin nodded in recognition, and then took a sip of his coffee.
"I just have a quick question for you, would you prefer iron ingots that I've been supplying or would you prefer steel?" Steve asked, and Ozpin looked slightly confused.
"How about a mixture of both? And while I'm thinking about it here's a scroll, it should help us remain in contact." Ozpin proposed, still trying to figure out the use for iron, and thinking that Remnant's own steel manufacturers would be stronger than Steve's supply. Steve nodded in response, "Okay then." Steve said, he noticed Teams RWBY and JNPR walking toward him, and he walked up to them. "I would love to talk with you all some more, but I must go back and build the surface areas of the mountain. Luckily I finished the interior!" He nodded at them, and started walking to his minecart system behind the mess hall. The teenage group followed silently and peeked from behind the building. They saw Steve put down a minecart from who knows where, and push a button. The minecart then rocketed toward the hole in the ground, and soon Steve was gone.
"What the hell... It's like this guy is from another planet..." Jaune mumbled, his eyes narrowed in thought. Blake and Yang's eyes widened considerably as they looked at eachother, a conversation almost playing through their heads simultaneously.
-One Week Later Ozpin's Office-
Ozpin and Glynda were carrying out their weekly meeting with the rest of the faculty. Professors Peach, Goodwitch, Port, and Oobleck were sitting in a semicircle in front of Ozpin and his desk, each catching up on students strengths, on things that need to be watched, essentially a boring faculty meeting. Luckily, there was unlimited coffee and pastries available during these meetings to make it a little better.
Port's eyes wandered to the mountain range on the Eastern side of the office. Glynda was asking him a question, but Port's eyes were visible to the rest of the faculty because they were widened that much. His mouth, normally in a pleasant grandfatherly smile, slowly dropped open. As Professor Goodwitch was trying to get his attention, Professor Peach turned and followed his line of sight, and squeaked out, "W-where did those come from?!" And she pointed to the mountains. The rest of the faculty turned around, and slowly approached the window. Eyes widened at the sight in front of them.
On two opposite sides of the mountain, at different heights, were two enormous towers, like something you would see on the corner of a castle, but instead on the side of the mountain. They had to be at least several hundred meters tall, and about one hundred meters wide.
"It looks like it was carved out of the mountain, and looks like a single piece of stone!" Oobleck exclaimed, in marvel of what was built in front of him. "Not even the best engineers and craftsman in Remnant could make something like that in a decade! I have to investigate further!"
Oobleck was not the only one, as Professor Port and Peach both nodded slowly, wondering what was in the mountain. They then noticed a bridge that connected to a small hole at the base of the mountain, it also looked like it was carved out of one piece of stone, and lead to the base of the mountain across a small chasm.
"Well you three are in luck, Steve has invited us to take a tour in two weeks, along with several teams from the institution. I hope we can learn new ideas from each other. But for now, I suggest we go back to the faculty meeting."
The three nodded dumbly still unsure of how the construction effort on the mountain was done so quickly. After all, if the three of them made accurate guesses on how long it took with the amount of workers at their disposal, it should have taken years, if not a decade to complete, but it was finished in a week...
-Two weeks later approaching the bridge-
The time was at hand for Teams RWBY and JNPR to tour the mountain, as ambassadors for Beacon, they were equipped with their combat gear. Three professors also decided to tag along, Professors Oobleck, Peach, and Port decided to come while Ozpin and Goodwitch would stay on the campus. They would, of course, report back to the both of them their findings. At the behest of Professor Oobleck, Team CFVY was brought along as well. Each Professor was put in charge of a team to watch their behavior, and also if anything was amiss, get ready to direct them based on the situation.
The teenagers were behind the professors approaching the hill that would soon overlook the bridge. "So what do you guys think we'll see in this tour?" Jaune asked the rest of the group.
"I bet it will be a small hut, because that's all he's had time to build!" Weiss said arrogantly, still not believing anything that Steve tells her, as it is physically impossible.
"I don't know Weiss-Cream, I think we'll be in for a treat..." said Yang, as Blake nodded alongside her, eyes fixed to her book.
"Well if its anything like those towers that appeared two weeks ago, it should be a marvel." said Velvet timidly.
"Yeah, the speed at which those were constructed was ridiculous," added Coco Adel, the leader of team CFVY, a nod from Yatsuhashi was also included with that exclamation.
"Wait... what towers?" Asked Ruby, and both Teams JNPR and RWBY looked confused. Blake even looked up from the book she was reading in curiosity.
The Professors approached the top of the hill and gasped, thinking they could never be surprised again. Crossed the top of the hill, a wondrous sight lay before them.
There was a bridge, at least two hundred meters long across a chasm, but that wasn't even the most impressive part of the structure. Across the bridge lay a structure that was hundreds of meters tall and wide, with two statues of Steve, with both hands on a sword facing toward the ground about two hundred meters tall, like guardians of a forbidden realm. The structure also contained battlements on different layers, probably used to defend the area if there ever was a siege. This structure was likely one of the most, if not secure locations in the world if any army tried to breach it.
As everyone started walking across the bridge, Blake mumbled, "It's like something out of a fantasy novel..." Velvet was the only one who heard with her enhanced hearing. Silently agreeing with the secret faunas. As they were observing the structure, they noticed a figure step out from the entryway, and it was Steve!
They continued their approach, the professors introduced themselves and team CVFY, and Steve introduced himself. "So are you guys ready to get a tour?"
Everyone nodded dumbly, and Steve said, "Well, follow me!" And they all entered a large archway, that was about fifty meters long, torches lining either side along with cubes of rock off the ceiling, each containing a torch.
All of a sudden they reached a much smaller bridge, it was about four times smaller than the one outside, with side railings, and it looked like a single arch, as there was nothing supporting it but the two sides. Velvet went to the edge and paled drastically, "T-there's no bottom!" She yelled in exclamation.
"Don't be ridiculous Velvet there's bound to be a bo-" and Coco cut herself off, looking down, adopting the same pale face. Everyone went up to the railing and adopted the same look.
Steve just walked up beside them and said, "Luckily I had machinery to clear this out, could you imagine if I did it by hand?!" and he started laughing to himself, and he proceeded to throw his torch down the pit. Kept going down until there was a faint echo of a splash. "There is a lake at the bottom, I found it after about three kilometers of digging, my machinery isn't built for extracting water unfortunately so I just left the bottom as I found it. Shall we continue?" As Steve walked across the bridge, everyone looked at each other in shock, one unbelievable thing after the next. The professors were the first ones to snap out of it and started following Steve across the bridge, where they went up a stairwell with three different entryways. There were three different arches, each leading to a different area. The arch on the left said "Food", the next sign said "Residence" and the final one to the right said "Research". There were faint echoes of Sheep, Cows, and Chickens coming from the food one, and Steve said, "I think we'll find tour on the left pretty boring, it's a pretty bog standard farm." And everyone thought to themselves 'HOW CAN HE FARM UNDERGROUND?! STANDARD?!'
"Let's take a look at the residence area first!" Steve said, as he pulled out another torch to help light the way, even though there were other torches around as well. Everyone kept walking for a few minutes, and finally the end of the tunnel appeared. "Welcome to the city of... well I haven't thought of a name yet, but I'm sure I'll come up with one. Each person came down in single file, and followed Steve out of the small tunnel.
When everyone finally looked behind them after observing a picture carved into the wall. They were shocked. Behind them, hundreds of pillars each with elaborate stonework one hundred meters tall filled the expanse that was in front of them. It looked to go on for miles.
"Remarkable!" Oobleck said, and his voice echoed around the expanse, fully lit up by thousands of torches. They started walking toward the interior of the expanse, gazing around in wonder. The teenagers were speechless as they followed Steve around. They started walking toward one of the walls where Steve pushed a button, and the wall traveled backwards and moved to the side, showing hundreds of chests, each with a picture of what they held in them. They saw all sorts of ingots, gems, tools, woods, it was incredible.
"This is my supply room and vault." Said Steve, and he continued down a path like nothing was out of the ordinary. Everyone else dumbly followed. As the tour went on, it was discovered that Steve built small living areas in most of the pillars. "Are you saying this place can shelter hundreds of people?!" Asked Port absolutely amazed at the scale of thought and engineering that went into this place. "Thousands" answered Steve, and he continued on to this small three meter archway.
"And here is a room filled with a resource that I have found useless thus far..." Steve said as he gestured to the room on his left. with the open expanse contrasting on his right. Peach and Weiss stopped dead, and started walking in the room. "WHAT!" They heard coming from the archway, it sounded like it echoed through the entire city, with Fox looking slightly uncomfortable with the sound. Steve quickly returned back to the mystery room along with the rest of the group.
"What is it?" He asked as he pulled up beside Peach and Weiss, who were both stuttering and pointing at the enormous pile in front of them, probably about the size of an Olympic swimming pool. "D-d-dust!"
"Oh! So that's what you were talking about earlier!" Everyone looked at Steve in disbelief. "I haven't found a use for it so I dug a pit," everyone paled at hearing that, "and put it all in here."
Peach's eyebrows kept twitching, along with Weiss, "This could power the entire city of Vale and Beacon for probably the next decade..." Peach mumbled, Weiss concurring with her assessment. The dust was mixed up thoroughly, all different kinds were in this pit.
"You could potentially rival the entire Schnee dust supply..." Weiss mumbled, and it echoed throughout the room, and Weiss quickly covered her mouth in shock, forgetting about the echo. Everyone's eyes widened considerably, Steve potentially had the power to considerably weaken the SDC, and with that, Atlas' position of power in the world.
"Well, I don't know what the SDC is, but I tried extracting power from a small sample and it couldn't provide enough energy, that's why I turned to nuclear fission." Steve said, shocking everyone with that small fact.
Peach quickly turned to Steve, "N-n-uclear fission?!" Peach stuttered out in shock, Oobleck's eyes widened as well, they were the only two that knew the theory, or so they thought.
"What's nuclear fission professor?" Asked Pyrrha, as she was wondering why this shocked the professors so much.
Nora then started, "Well you know how the world is made up of minute particles?" Everyone nodded except for Steve, who was starting to lead them to a different part of the mountain. "Well, theoretically if you break the bonds of certain chemical matter, you create energy, and you have to understand, this would be a huge amount of energy compared to the capabilities of dust. It's like comparing a candle to a raging fire. This is all theoretical as no one has found a fissionable material. The concept was only discovered a year ago by a physicist from Mistral University. But everyone, especially the SDC wrote it off as rubbish, since it would destroy their monopoly and create a shift in power throughout the world." Nora finished, everyone was stunned by her in depth knowledge. It turns out she knew her stuff about potential explosive devices. Ren was the only one not surprised.
"I can't describe it any better than that." said Peach, who told herself to give Nora some extra credit back on campus.
Oobleck then went into lecture mode, talking about the architecture on display today. Everyone followed Steve out of the gargantuan pillared room, and moved into an archway that said, "Research" they walked for about ten minutes before finally coming to two iron doors which had a sign above it saying "Manhattan Project".
"I don't know where the name came from, but this is the mountains nuclear research area. This has been put on the backburner for the moment as Ozpin requested something that I can help with instead."
They continued down the hallway until they arrived in a large workshop, with machinery laid across tables along with devices that were a mystery. There was a gateway that looked incomplete, and had a mass amount of circuitry that was around it, but people just brushed it off. They crossed the workshop, and Steve opened the doors. They looked up, and saw that it was one of the towers that was built earlier in the week. Team CFVY couldn't believe the entire structure was hollow. There was a staircase leading to the top. But it was quite dark in the room, and the teams were behind a thick wall of glass. Steve flipped a switch and the entire roof started opening up, until there was a hole enough to fit an entire nevermore.
They saw a rod like device with thins, and a small window attached to the front. It was on a slightly elevated pad, and there was a large white suit on a stand to the left of the mysterious device.
"And this is my current project, within a few weeks I will be traveling to the moon!
"What do you mean you're going to the moon?! HOW'S THAT POSSIBLE?!" Everyone yelled out in absolute shock.
Omake:
Teams JNPR and RWBY were sitting on the lawn, enjoying the fall weather that Beacon had to offer, they had a picnic, and were just enjoying their time together. When Ruby reached into the picnic basket to get another cookie, she found eight golden eggs, and a note.
Hi Teams!
I hope you enjoy this gift from me, these are some special golden eggs. When you put them on the ground you'll find something special!
Steve
"Huh, weird." Ruby said as she dug through the picnic basket and found seven more of these golden eggs. She handed an egg to each of her teammates, who put it on the ground beside themselves.
At first, nothing happened. A few seconds later, each egg started spinning around, slowly accelerating. They started to levitate off the ground.
"What did we do?!" Yelled Jaune as he backed away from his now levitating egg. Everyone else had their eyes fixed to the eggs and back to each other unsure of whats going on. Part of the ground started levitating up, and everyone's eyes got really big. The spinning kept accelerating, and light appeared to break through the shell.
"WHAT HAVE WE DONE?!" Yelled Nora, as she was watching in excitement. Everyone averted their eyes as they became to bright. Soon, 8 explosions were heard and then the teams looked back to the craters. What they found shocked them to the core.
"ARE THOSE MINI US?!" Yang, Weiss, Ruby, Pyrrha, and Nora exclaimed while hugging their smaller selves. Jaune high-fived his miniature version saying "What's up?"
The Blakes just stared at Blake, "These are like chibi versions of us..." Blake finished, still staring down her miniature self.
All the miniature versions interacted with other members of the team, with Pyrrha hugging the miniature Jaune tightly and little Pyrrha walking up to Jaune saying "Hello there!" Jaune picked little Pyrrha and hugged her. Little Pyrrha had a huge blush and smile on her face while hugging Jaune, which made everyone else cackle. Tiny Yang was making puns left and right, and Little Ren pulled out a frying pan to make pancakes for th miniature Nora. Everyone there awww'd at the site. Little Blake and Blake warmed up to each other. Soon both groups, large and small were enjoying the picnic.
Pyrrha finally let go of little Jaune, and asked, "So what do we do with these little guys?"
Well, that's it for now! I know these structures would take months to make in game, but I figured, this is a ridiculous story anyway. Also, inspired by the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings if you didn't catch that, I don't own those either.
Next time on Minecraft Remnant:
"So we meet again Sparkles!"
"Steve, we need you to move the CCT to a more secure location."
"So none of you thought to call the guy who mines all the time for this mission?"
