I Do Not Own RWBY

Team DLIA

I take the time I have before the others wake up to take inventory of everything we've been given, everything to start our new lives in Remnant. Other than my weapon case, I find a scroll that apparently belongs to me, or rather the person that I've become. Luckily it has all of the information about ourselves, our weapons, semblances, history and most importantly classes that we have to attend. Great, more schooling. I take note and remember everything word for word. Reading it for the twentieth time I still felt excitement as I read over my weapon schematic. After I take it all in, I notice a few books on my bookshelf, as well as a few different ones on the other's shelves as well. I kneel down to see if they're just text books, and some of them are. There is one on weapon maintenance which I won't really need to learn for my weapon, one on the history between the humans and faunus, and what looks to be a sort of chronicle about different types of Grimm. Weirdly enough there were also some books straight off of my personal bookshelf from back home, so I'm guessing Greg (I can't believe I'm actually calling him Greg) sent those with us to help with the transition from dying in our world and living in this new one.

I finish my search and start getting ready for the day ahead. While reading through my scroll I learned that today was the day right after initiation, and that it was also a free day to help teams get acquainted with each other before classes start tomorrow. I take a quick shower and find my clothes. Looks like I still have the same tastes in clothing. For my battle gear, I have a bluish trench coat adorn with a clasp near the neck if I wanted to turn the coat into a cape. A pocket on the inside of the coat shows that I could probably fit I book in it if I wanted to. I put on a dark gray pair of trousers, shirt and button down, along with a pair of black shoes. Holding the trousers up I have a moderately heavy belt that has a few holds for my weapon. I just finish putting on my ensemble when the other three start to arise from their slumber.

"Where the fuck are we!?", Julie exclaims as she sits up. The other two slowly start to rise. Lucas looking like all of the life had been drained from his eyes. Shaun seemingly looked indifferent about our situation.

"We are in a dorm room." I answer.

"No shit Sherlock. What universe are we in?" Julie asks sarcastically

"Cutting to the chase, we're in the RWBY universe. Anyone else keep up with the show?"

I look over at Lucas. He still looks like he's in another plane of existence. I know I tried to get him into RWBY a few years ago, but he couldn't get over the animation in the first season to really appreciate it like I did. As far as I know he only saw the first few episodes.

"I kept up with it a little bit." piped up Shaun.

Thank Christ. Someone else at least has some bearing on this world other than myself. I look over to Julie. She just shakes her head. Well, at least I've got Shaun.

"All right then. I think we should just get this out of the way then. I did a bit of rummaging while you three were still asleep and found a few things. First, we each have a personal scroll that basically tells us everything about ourselves. From our past to our present. And for you two who don't know the first thing about this world, a scroll is basically a holographic smart phone. Our uniforms and combat gear are in our personal closets and our weapons are in these cases. I say we each go around the room and list everything off. If there are any questions we ask as we go on. Agreed?"

Julie grabs her scroll and starts reading. Shaun drops down onto the floor and looks through his case. Unfortunately Lucas doesn't look like he's willing to make a move. Still hunched over, a plethora of emotions swimming across his face now. I walk over to him and place my hand on his shoulder. He looks up at me and whispers "How are you okay with this. I killed us."

I grab his other shoulder and pull him into a hug. Shaun and Julie look over with shocked looks. I don't think they've ever seen me show affection before, so this was new to them. "You didn't kill us. And if I hear you say that you did one more time I will throw you off of a cliff. You were in the right. Whatever that other driver was doing, they were in the wrong. You couldn't have done anything to prevent it. The best you can do is keep moving forward. Now, are you going to just sit there until we all die of old age, or are you going to help us get through this world?" I release him and give him a small smirk.

Lucas looked at me with new found vigor. "Alright. But we will need a run down about what to expect from this world."

"I would be delighted."

So, the better part of an hour was spent on me explaining the entire summary of RWBY to the best of my abilities. Not that I don't like discussing RWBY, it's just that when you have to go over everything with such fine details, it does drag you down a bit. Lucas and Julie had a few questions here and there, but in the end I think they understood it. I think.

"So, now that we have the story and the world summary out of the way, we should probably get to our personal stuff. If possible I would like to go last to catch my breath from talking for so long, so who wants to go first?"

"I guess I can" Lucas steps up to the plate.

"Since we all have pretty much the same history as far as I can tell, I'll skip over that and get right to the important shit. My name in this world is Lucas Platina. My physical body is pretty much the same as it was back in our home world. Same short black hair, darkish skin color and hazel eyes. Although my eyes seem to have a bit more red in them. The clothes that I have for combat consist of a black suit jacket, a red undershirt, black trousers and black shoes. My semblance is called Shadow Meld. Basically I can blend with shadows and control them to a degree. My weapons are two red sickles that are chained together, so I can use them for close combat or at close range."

"Hopefully when we start sparing you'll be able to do some sickle chain combos with your weapon then." Julie snickers. Lucas punches her on the shoulder. "For that bad pun, you go next."

Rolling her eyes, Julie starts. "In this world my name apparently is Iris Julie Korzac, and as you've probably noticed I am a fox faunus with fox ears." Lucas starts to grab them when Julie snaps at his wrist. "Touch them and I break your arm."

"Dooley noted. Continue."

Sighing she starts again. "I'm still a brunette, thankfully, and it's still the same as it was before with it just going down to the small of my back. I think I might braid it if we're going to be doing a lot of fighting though. My eyes are olive green now instead of brown. My semblance is Future Sight. It basically allows me to see into the future by 2 seconds, and I can only use it on people. My weapon is a bow that can break apart and turn into two blades. Not as impressive as being able to bend shadows, but I can work with it." I take note that her combat outfit is also somewhat similar to Velvet's, with the addition of a brown jean jacket and a black quiver for arrows.

We all turn towards Shaun. He sighs and starts listing off everything. "In this world my name is now Aiden Shaun Patriarch. I'm guessing Greg couldn't find a way to fit Shaun or Julie into the color rule. My hair is still blond, but now it has lavender highlights on the ends. My eyes are now purple instead of light blue. My combat attire is a lavender and white suit which to me looks kind of similar to the suit that Ironwood wears and a pair of white shoes. My semblance is called Damage Switch. It allows me to build up damage, and when I choose I can deal that damage back to whoever I wish. Every scratch and cut will be transferred, but if I take to much damage then I run the risk of transferring only a random amount of hits. My weapon is a simple gun that can transform into different models. It has a pistol form, a light assault rifle form, a shotgun form and a short range sniper form. Paired with the gun is a pair of glasses which sync with the gun and can provide target tracking, dust switching and a bullet count."

As Shaun ended his info dump all three of them turned towards me. I take a deep breathe and start listing off everything.

"First off, in this world my name is Drew Azzurum. As you can see, my hair is still the deep red that you all know and love. Eyes are still hazel colored. My semblance is called Technobabble, which actually works lovely with my weapon. It allows me to converse with computers and AI allowing me to control most tech with the touch of a finger. My weapon is this." I hold up my case and showcase the bracelets and canisters inside. There are two bracelets that fit over my arms just above the wrists, and there are a total of eight canisters. "The bracelets are a sort of anchor, and the canisters are filled with nanobots, or just bots for short. In their default mode they use four canisters and create a gauntlet on each arm. Using my mind and my semblance I can transform the bots into pretty much any weapon I desire. My imagination is my limit. I can attach more canisters onto my belt and use them if need be, but the more bots I use the more stretched thin I'll get. Also I am apparently the team leader, the team being named Team Dahlia, or DLIA if we just use the initials. Also I'm a half faunus on my mother's side. The only trait I seem to have is a small patch of scales on the back of my neck. And that's about it."

We all take in the information about our new selves. These weapons that we have to use, and semblances that are apart of us now. It all feels like too much, but it also feels natural.

"So from here on, I think we have to refer to you two as your new first names unfortunately." I state, expecting backlash. Luckily none came.

"I like Iris, I think it suits this new me. How about you Shau… uh, I mean Aiden."

"It'll take some getting used to, but I can make do. So, now that we've shared all of our character info, I think we should start to formulate a plan to live through this world."

Straight and to the point, just like usual.

"Alright then. Let's get started."

Wow. This was a big info dump. I apologize if it was a lot to take in. I honestly had plans on making this chapter longer and adding the planning stage and the next two story beats, but I realized that after all of that it probably would have been a bit much. If there are any questions about the characters descriptions, their semblances or their weapons feel free to ask. I'm sorry if my drawing is bad, especially for the cover art, but I don't have a good program to do it on my computer, also no drawing pad to use.

Thanks.
