A/N: Time for introductions now for the boxer. Of course, not much is known bout Mac personality wise honestly, except for him being a damn good fighter. Also he's short, like 4'7" short, shorter than Neo almost if she wasn't in heels.
Also I will be explain about the whole Dust in his blood aspect because look at some of the moves he uses in smash brothers. That's gonna be fun to write about via training montage.
Anyways onward to the story and thanks for stopping by.
Beacon Infirmary
Sunlight shone through the window, amazing how a giant ball of flaming gas and heat used to bring life to a planet also has the ability to be used as a natural alarm clock. This is done by having the light applied directly to the eyes.
Mac Little was hating this fact, and today was Saturday if he remembered correctly, or maybe it was Sunday? He didn't really know honestly. He always took it easy on Saturdays as it was a rule given by Doc to always take it easy on Saturdays and to go to the local shop for the special on candy bars but that was beside the point. Deciding to sit up from his bed with eyes still closed in hope to fall back to sleep he mumbled to himself, "Gotta talk to Old Lady Harris about that Macadamia Nut cookie recipe."
He also recalled that weird dream he had as well, supposedly he gets sent to a different planet and that they also had a moon but had a huge portion broken off with the shattered pieces still floating around, then some mam with white hair told him that he had dust in his blood, they Hell did that even mean and why did he make it sounds like a good thing? "But he did say my Aura was impressive, maybe that's what Doc was always going on about fighting spirit" Mac added as he tossed his feet out of bed and met the cold shock of the bare wooden floor.
Wait. "My floor has carpet." Mac realized and finally opening his eyes only to realize that he wasn't in his apartment anymore, no this was not his apartment building, it didn't smell of burning pasta from or the faint sound of traffic slowly picking up. Instead, it smelled clean almost like a hospital, and the only sounds were the faint hum of the lights.
"Where the Hell am I?" A beeping sound from his left got his attention, a wooden nightstand with a small object rested atop it. A strange rectangle with a yellow diamond in the center of it, and a sticky note right next to it that read:
'Welcome to Remnant, more exact welcome to Beacon. You have been given a uniform to wear, it is located in the drawer of the nightstand you see before you. You have also been given a Scroll to use, simply press the diamond in the center and pull outwards to open the device. You will need to report to Headmaster Ozpin's office once you've awoken.
Signed, Deputy of Beacon, Miss Goodwitch'
Mac opened the nightstand drawer and sure enough, there was what seemed to be a uniform of sorts, black coat, black slacks, blue vest, red tie, black shoes, and a white dress shirt plus another note. 'Leave your current attire in here, it will be picked up later. -Ozpin'
So. It wasn't a dream, or maybe he was still dreaming and was in those weird dreams within a dream, he had those before and it made more sense to him.
But going along with the theory that he was just in another dream he accepted that was indeed on a different planet and he does indeed have dust in his blood and Aura, although he still didn't know if those were good things, but if there was one thing he did know is that he had a meeting to get to. "But first," Mac picked up the white rectangle, "let's see what exactly a scroll is."
Beacon Halls
Thankfully for Mac, the medical areas had a shower that was pointed out to him by one of the nurses, who had mistaken him for one someone's kid, which was thankfully cleared up much to the Nurse's embarrassment. So now he was cleaned up but and also hungry as Hell, but he had a meeting to go to first and then he could grab a bite to eat, maybe he'll take a note from Doc's friend named Coach and become a 'One man cheeseburger apocalypse.' Speaking of cleaning up.
For dream, this must've been a pretty lucid one, everything felt so real and detailed to him.
Mac was dressed in the clothing provided to him and he felt stuffy in the damn thing, it reminded him of the suits he had to wear when doing, as he puts it, 'Professional Champion Things' from signing endorsements to agree to have his likeness put into a videogame and even to be on a covered of an energy drink. 'At least the gold lines on the coat look nice, though I wonder if the reading glasses were optional.' he thought to himself, indeed with his outfit a pair of black-rimmed reading glasses had been left for him to wear, or maybe someone just forgot about them in the nightstand.
Mac was now walking around the halls of Beacon looking down at his scroll occasionally before looking up to ensure he was going in the right direction. Mac at first was blown away by how advanced a Scroll was, being able to touch the screen to make an action happen was only dreamed of and seem on TV, and here Mac was trying to figure out the basics of this new device, thankfully he figured out how to get to the messages and see the beeping sound was a notification of sorts and was pleasantly surprised that he was sent a map of Beacon and was now somewhat thankful at being able to figure out where he was going.
Mac then heard laughter to his left as he continued down the halls. Being so enraptured in the Scroll and direction he had failed to notice that more people had been slowly showing up, he noticed some men wearing the same clothes as he wore and how the girls wore similar styles clothing as well, but with red plaid skirts. One thing he did seem to notice was something that caused an eyebrow to twitch.
'Why the Hell is everyone so damn tall here?' he thought to himself with particular annoyance. Then he remembered he was dreaming at was no way smaller now. He recalled the time before his sudden and thankful growth spurt during the matches before he fought in the circuits, they all taunted and laughed at him due to his height of 4'7" at the time but a man knocked out by said 4'7" man didn't really laugh at you anymore. Of course a month before his first debut circuit match he suddenly had a growth spurt and was then standing at a proud 5'7". Didn't do much when all his opponents were always still staggering in heights, but not tall enough to avoid a solid hit to the jaw.
Mac came at T-section in the halls now, one going left and one going right. Well, he was lost, even with a map. 'Seriously, who needs to make three lefts just to make a right!?' he thought as a small scowl was on his face, Mac didn't have many things he had a list of things to hate, but "Maps" was on that tiny list of his, that and raisins since they were essentially just dried grapes to him.
Giving up for the moment Mac decided to seek aid from one of the passersby, a very tall blonde boy who gave Mac some serious 'Glass Joe' vibes, but he was the closest one so he decided to reach out to the blonde and maybe could get some help finding his way around.
(~)
Jaune wasn't exactly having a good time so far, sure he was in Beacon Academy like he planned on it, but he barely got by the skin of his teeth and had to be saved by his now teammates multiple times during initiation and not to mention that he completely sucks at combat, which was shown in the recent combat class just yesterday. The irony wasn't lost on him since he is in what is a combat school and it was a wonder as to how he hadn't impaled himself on his own sword yet. Even with all that he had been made Team Leader for Oum forbid whatever reasons, yet at least one upside was that he had found himself with amazing friends in both his own team and that of his sister team RWBY. Thankfully for him, Professor Port accidentally let loose an Ursa he had somehow brought into his classroom and it somehow escaped and caused havoc around campus, so classes were postponed for the rest of the day and tommorow for extra measure, which meant that Thursday was an off day. Small victories.
Jaune was snapped from his thoughts when he felt a poke on his side and heard a voice soon after, "Scuse me man, sorry for bothering but can you help me out?"
Jaune turned and didn't immediately see anyone but looked slightly downwards and noticed the one who had poked him and had to stop his eyes from showing surprise when he saw that the person who poked him was short, really short, shorter than Ruby in fact. Unfortunately for him, Jaune's mouth betrayed him as he made his thought vocal. "Woah, short!"
Jaune didn't miss how the man's eyebrow twitched just a smidge nor couldn't he be thankful for how suddenly his own hand went to his mouth, thankfully the man in front of him spoke up.
"That wasn't the response I expected there Blondie, but you looked like you didn't mean it so I'll let it slide, also the name is Mac." Mac then held a hand out grinned.
Jaune looked at the hand out towards him and back to the man before him who seemed friendly enough, plus he did ask him for some help and Jaune shook Mac's hand and was surprised by the grip he had, "Name's Jaune Arc, and sorry about that, my sisters always said my mouth is my own worst enemy, also are you a new student here too?"
Mac only chuckled, "You can say that I am new here Jaune, plus no harm no foul, besides if it wasn't obvious I know a thing or two about having a disadvantage of sorts."
"Really?"
Mac only gave a blank stare and then motioned to himself. It clicked in an instant for Jaune. "Oh, well if it helps from what I know from experience is that vertically challenged people are quite fast and even more dangerous." Jaune then gave a thumbs up.
"'Vertically Challenged' makes it sound like I'm sick, but I am indeed dangerous in the ring." Mac replied. Jaune only chuckled nervously and scratched the back of his head, "Anyways you said you needed help right?"
Mac complete forgot why he bothered this man in the first place, "Oh right, you see I'm lost, even with a map and I have to get to a meeting with Ozpin, for what I don't know, plus you seem like you got a good sense of direction or at least know your way better around than I do at least."
Jaune nodded, it made sense, then an idea came to him, "How bout you follow me then, I'm actually meeting up with my team right now actually and my partner is actually a lot better with directions than I am too." Jaune smiled at the last words he said, Mac raised a brow.
"Sounds like you really like your partner then Jaune, but yeah, more people means more of me getting an idea of what's going on here anyhow."
Now it was Jaune who raised a brow at Mac, "What do you mean you don't know what's going on?"
Mac only shrugged, "Well I honestly think that I'm dreaming right now, but I am not from Remnant, I'm from a planet called Earth and also a world champion boxer."
Thankfully for Mac, that moment was when the halls were completely empty and it was only himself and Jaune standing there, an odd silence was in the air.
"Also my moon is whole and the people there landed and walked on the moon as well." Mac added to prove a point.
Jaune only blinked and tilted his head, "I'm sorry what?"
(~)
Jaune decided to ensure that Mac was alright and not having some kind of mental trauma of sorts but having him tag along to go meet the rest of his team if anything they can help out, probably, but Jaune was banking on the matter that maybe Mac was having some kind of coping mechanism and this was his way of doing so. Jaune was really hoping that it was mental trauma and not some kind of psycho episode or whatever mental trouble that causes people to go insane. Jaune only read so many comic books on the matter and was by no means an expert. Then Mac's stomach gave a loud grumbling sound that was akin to a snoring Beowulf.
"I know I'm dreaming, but is there anything to eat Jaune, kinda starving right now and I felt like I haven't eaten in a day or so."
Yup, maybe Mac was just having some mental trouble from being hungry, like a tv ad once said, 'You're not you when you're hungry'. Jaune decided to take his own scroll out and sent out a message to his team telling them to meet him in the cafeteria for a meeting instead, it was also around Dinner time now so two birds with one stone. "You're in luck Mac, it's around Dinner time so I asked my team to meet me at the cafeteria to grab a bite to eat, so you can eat something too while we're there." Jaune gave a thumbs up to Mac.
"Nice, I hope they have cheeseburgers, or maybe some pancakes, you know what, pancakes for dinner sound awesome right now." Jaune was thinking that Nora may have a future pancake friend at the moment if the drool that Mac was showing was anything to go by. "Well Jaune, what are we waiting for, let's go get some grub."
Jaune laughed at the short man before him, he seemed friendly enough as is and might even get along with his team as well. "Alright alright, just calm down Mac, the food isn't going anywhere."
And soon the duo headed towards the cafeteria where the other students had slowly started to walk in as well.
Beacon Cafeteria
Mac was overall impressed by not only the size of the cafeteria but also by bevy of foods that were given out to what he had found out thanks to Jaune, were students on a daily basis. Thankfully Mac wasn't thrown into the deep end as Jaune helped him out in gathering his food, a plate stacked with six pancakes, a cheeseburger and a glass of milk.
What? It gives you strong bones.
Mac then followed Jaune to a nearby set of tables and sat across from the blonde, and while doing so began to eye up his own tray before him.
'Dream or not, this food looks great, maybe I'll stop by the diner across from the apartment and grab this same platter when I wake up.' Mac thought to himself, everything smelled real enough, but again this had to be a dream. So with a shrug of his shoulders and grabbing the burger before him, he took the first bite.
The meat was juicy, fresh and had that grilled flavor that diner burgers are known for. Mac had skipped the veggies and just stuck with pure meat and cheese, allowing for the simple yellow cheddar to have a sharp and gooey melding that always worked on a burger.
So maybe Mac wasn't dreaming because he very much doubted his pillow could taste this good. Weird how it was a burger that brought him to that realization. But his own hunger returned tenfold and he destroyed the burger in but a few minutes.
Jaune for his part only watched as his smaller new friend took a bite out of his burger, had a moment of clarity on his face and inhaled the rest of the burger which Jaune truly believed was impossible for Mac.
Mac gave a satisfied sigh now that the initial brunt of his hunger was now sated and gave Jaune a thumbs up, "Thanks for that Jaune, you are good man."
Jaune only shrugged, "Well you did ask for help anyways, besides I doubt the Headmaster had to say anything important anyways, usually he gives an announcement or sends a message if the meeting is important." Jaune then saw Mac squint his eyes at him and then opened his mouth as if remembering, "Oh right, I was supposed to meet him after I woke up, but I don't think he'll mind, besides it's dinner time so he's probably eating as well?" Mac tried to come up with an excuse. Jaune decided to just nod his head at it for Mac's sake.
"Hello Fearless leader!" as an Orange blur suddenly plopped down a tray of pancakes more higher than Mac's own stack and sat themselves down two seats between, what Mac now noticed, herself, and Jaune.
"Hey Nora, where's Ren and Pyrrha?" Jaune asked with a nugget in his mouth.
The named Nora had already shoved a pancake into her mouth that Mac didn't even see her do so and with a audible gulp finally spoke, "They were still in line grabbing their food, it's why pancakes are best because they don't take so long to make and are super delicous!" she finished this by raising said food with her fork proudly.
"Nora, don't play with your pancakes." came a calm voice as Mac saw two other students walk up with trays of food and took their seats that Nora had left them.
"Sorry Ren!" Nora said and went back to eating.
"Sup Ren, hey Pyrrha, glad to see you both." Greeted Jaune as the man named Ren gave a nod before looking at Mac. Jaune noticed this and spoke up. "So now that you all are here, I want you to say hello to a new student, his name is Mac... Uh, sorry Mac but you never did give your last name." Jaune then scratched the back of his head after forgetting about that detail. Mac chuckled and then stood up to his full height.
"My name is Mac Little, but my friends call me Mac, while my ring name is Little Mac." Mac then got different greetings from the trio before him.
"Hello."
"Greetings."
"You're small."
"Nora! You can't just say that!" Jaune shouted, though Nora believed otherwise, "But look at him! He's smaller than Ruby!"
Now usually Mac might've taken offense to that, but something told him that Nora was just being... Nora, weird how that actually fits, Go figure.
"It's fine Jaune, Nora is telling the truth, but a lot of fighters ended up lying on the canvas when they went up against me." Mac said proudly.
"So you're going to introduce them to me now Jaune?" Mac asked with a grin.
"Hmm? Oh right!" Jaune then cleared his throat. "This is team JNPR, said as Juniper, and going by the order of letters, I'm Jaune Arc, leader of the team." He then pointed to Nora, "That is Nora Valkyrie, our hyper explosives expert."
Nora gave a salute when her name and self-given title were called.
"Next is my partner, Pyrrha Nikos, I only found out recently that she was a tournament fighter and on the cover of my favorite cereal."
Pyrrha nodded to Mac and he noticed a dim fire in her eyes, oddly enough he saw that when he fought Sandman for the champion's belt. "It's a pleasure to meet you Mac." the redhead said.
"Likewise Pyrrha, gonna be honest with you, I can see why Jaune here spoke highly of you when I asked for his help." Pyrrha turned a bit pink in the cheeks at that while Jaune didn't seem to notice. 'Ah, love truly is the biggest opponent to face' Mac thought to himself.
Jaune then continued on, "Lastly is Lie Ren, local voice of calm and registered Nora Handler." Jaune added cheekily.
Ren only nodded as well, "Hello Mac, what Jaune said is true, and in the event Nora is loose please notify me." a small smile grew on the stoic face. While Nora simply leaned into Ren's personal space and tapped his nose while saying "Boop."
'20 bucks saying those two are totally banging.' Mac thought to himself once more but caught himself when he just realized something during that thought. If he was indeed on a different planet, then he was essentially broke, not a penny to his name. His head then met the table when such a thing struck him.
The four in front of Mac were surprised by Mac's sudden action, Jaune then asked Mac, "Uh, everything alright there Mac, did I mess up with my introductions of my friends?" he then looked to Pyrhha who only gave a shrug, while Ren only looked at Mac and Nora was busy with her pancakes.
"No Jaune, it's just that I realized that I'm dirt broke now, especially since all the cash and earnings I won is back in my home." said Mac who's voice was a bit muffled by the table. Pyrrha tried to reassure the pint sized boxer however, "I'm sure you can ask your parents to send you your money to you?"
Mac only looked up at Pyrhha, "It would be easy if I was still on my planet that is, I bet you guys don't even use dollars as your cash."
Pyrrha only tilted her head, "I'm sorry Mac, but did you say 'my planet'? Surely you meant your house correct?"
"Nope I mean my planet, I don't even know how I ended up here in the first place, I just woke up here in the Beacon Infirmary and talked to that Ozpin guy and Miss Goodwitch." Mac was now sitting up straight and decided to eat the pancakes which were now getting soggy with syrup.
He would've eaten if not for an Orange haired Bomber who had leaned well over the table to suddenly be in his face with literal stars in her eyes, "So what you're saying is that you're an alien?" Mac felt very much in danger at this moment and answered with a simple "Yes?". He then was subjected to what only to be described as a "Squee" of joy from the girl. "Oh my gosh, Ren! Can you believe it, he's an actual alien! Oh! I wonder if he has tentacles or some kind of weird third eye? No, wait! A tentacle that has his third eye!" as she visibly vibrated at the sheer thoughts of Mac being an alien being.
Mac himself only looked at the other three for help, Jaune only shrugging, Ren trying to calm Nora down and Pyrhha seeming to have a question rising which she soon asked. "I am unsure if what you say is true Mac, but I recalled you saying that you had a ring name, are you perhaps a tournament fighter as well?" And Mac saw that fire in her eyes grow ever slightly now, "I sure am, or was at least, but where I'm from, I'm the champion and title defender of the WVBA, which is a boxing a tournament where all weight classes and skill levels can enter for the title belt. I won that belt and defended multiple times." Yup, that fire in her eyes seemed brighter now, and to be honest, Mac felt it starting to affect him as well, so he decided to add, "Also not to toot my own horn, but I'm the youngest fighter to ever win the belt, even with my small size, I won all my matches with knockouts." and now Mac saw those Emerald eyes shine now, like when he went up against Sandman, he saw the fire of challenger once again. 'I think I'm in danger now.' he thought to himself.
"Well you seem to have done quite a bit for yourself then Mac, I do hope to see you fight soon." Pyrrha only smiled, but the glow was only dimmer now, but only slightly.
The next few minutes were spent chatting back and forth, Mac asking about what exactly dust and Aura was, while JNPR asked what life was like on a different planet, and was quite surprised with the number of similarities, Mac did take note that they took this whole 'Man from another world thing' in stride, but it did make him a bit worried that perhaps this world is more insane in ways that he couldn't even imagine.
(~)
Team JNPR and Mac then left the cafeteria with their bellies now filled and were currently leading Mac towards Ozpin's office, apparently, Mac was nowhere near close than he had originally thought. Ren had asked how he got lost with a map which Mac then showed, only to be informed that he had somehow managed to take a screenshot of the map instead, which is why he was making no real progress in directions. Woops.
Soon enough they found the elevator, "Thank you guys so much, I think I still would've been lost without you guys." Mac chuckled while saying his thanks, he was humble and always admitted to his errors and shortcomings.
"No problem Mac, just glad we could help out a literal transfer student." Jaune replied a smile on not only his face but on the rest of his team's faces as well.
"See you around Alien!" said Nora who was waving happily.
"See you around Mac." said Ren.
"Goodbye Mac." said Pyrrha.
"Laters guys and thanks again." Mac waved to them and then went onto the elevator to meet with Ozpin.
As the elevator left, leaving only JNPR behind, Nora decided to speak up. "Well for an alien he seemed like a cool dude." Everyone nodded to that statement "Although he seemed a bit shorter than average, but judging by his looks he does seem to have quite the skills as a fighter." added Ren.
Pyrrha clapped her hands, "I know right? A champion from another world, I just hope I can spar with him soon!" Jaune saw the way his partner added and in the short time he's known her he found out that she has a competitive nature that's worse than his little sister's. "Just be careful though Pyr, he isn't from our world remember?" Jaune placed a hand on her shoulder to calm her down from her battle excitement, she blinked a few times, "Right, of course Jaune."
He smiled at her, "Cool, now let's get back to our dorm, all this food and making a new friend has gotten me ready for a nap." Everyone agreed to that simple idea and soon headed back to their room to relax for the evening.
Now currently in the elevator and unknown to most everyone besides Doc, Mac was actually quite well-read in different matters, but none other than his favorites of fairytales, myths, and legends. He had to pass the time somehow during his off time and never really liked T.V all that much except for movies. But while on the ride up to the Headmaster's office he couldn't help but think about 'The Wizard of Oz' and if Jaune Arc was some weird super great-grandchild of Joan of Arc.
He only chuckled to himself, "It's probably just a coincidence unless they have a Red Riding Hood or a Snow White here, but I doubt it."
Soon enough the elevator dinged and slid opened to reveal the office.
Mac was once again surprised and wondered if this was what it was like to be inside a pocket watch. Various clockwork gears in motion throughout the entire room, large windows and set of windows that created an entire wall in itself and allowing for a grand view of forest below, and lastly a giant wooden desk where a white haired headmaster sat waiting for him.
"Good evening Mister Little, I see that you had a good lunch with Team JNPR I take it?" a brief smile showed on his face as Mac coughed nervously, busted so easily.
"Sorry about that Headmaster, I got lost, then I asked Jaune to help me out, but then I got hungry, went to the cafeteria where I met the rest of his team and had dinner, and also told them about how I'm not from Remnant which they took in stride honestly." Well Mac just spilled everything, oh sure, put him up against a man who's taller than 7ft and punches like a juiced up bulldozer and Mac would be cool-headed, but put him in front of an authoritative figure and he just cracks.
"I see." was Ozpin's reply. "Mister Little, although I failed to say so, your being from another world is to remain secret for the time being, General Ironwood of Atlas has been notified of your dilemma and although he wished to snatch you up for study due to your blood, I decided to garner a different idea." Ozpin then pulls open a drawer and after reaching into the drawer, places a folder onto the desk.
"What's that?"
"This Mister Little is an offer, join my school as a student, learn to fight the darkness and make many allies during your time here." Ozpin stated.
Now Mac would've denied the offer, but he remembered that he wasn't on Earth anymore, he had no idea where exactly he was at, save for knowing he was in a school called Beacon, and he had no money and nothing of value except for the clothes on his back and his skills as a boxer. His mind was set now, but one thing was still bothering him. "Okay, I get the deal about Aura and dust, but why is Dust being in my blood a good thing, something so good that a General is willing to snatch me up and poke around inside me?"
"I'm glad you asked Mister Little." Ozpin then pulls open a hologram screen that showed two separate images of what Mac could tell were blood samples magnified. "You see Mister Little, on the left side is a standard variant of blood, slightly aura enhanced of course. But on the right side is your blood, aura enhanced and with particles of some of the purest Dust I've ever seen."
"Again, why is that a good thing?"
"Well as you just told me you have a basic understanding of Dust now, and you know that dust incorporates the basic elements of nature and a few noncorresponding properties. Well, Pure Dust, is what can be seen as a canvas of elements, and are far more powerful than standard dust shards and crystals, but above all else, it is impossible for this variant of dust to be in your blood in the first place."
"Uh... So is that a good thing or?"
"To put simply Mister Little, the dust in your veins now garners you the grasp of elemental powers, quite rare, but not entirely unheard of, however, your method is something far more powerful and not as dangerous than, what are called, 'Dust Infusers'. And if you can practice the usage of that dust, then I believe you will be a true powerhouse of a Hunstman." Ozpin finished with a small smile.
Mac raised a brow at that, he had some idea of what Ozpin was getting at, he fought two opponents who seemed to have some kind of grasp over the elemental energies, those were Great Tiger and Piston Honda, both of whom he got a chance to chat with after he retired after his curiosity was peaked about their sudden powers. And then it struck Mac if those two could grasp that kind of power through training, then why couldn't he? Besides, there were supposedly loads of people who use dust on a daily so he can always ask for help in the matter! And with that final thought, Mac made his decision.
"Headmaster Ozpin, I accept your offer to become a student at Beacon." Mac gave an answer and Ozpin saw a flame glowing withing his eyes causing Ozpin to have a smile of a thought, 'Well he reminds me of Peter back when he first started as a huntsman and long before the fool found a wife.' he chuckled at both the memory and at Mac. "That is good to hear Mister Little but there is one more thing I must notify you of since you are a new student here, you must go through an initiation, but seeing as tossing you out into a forest of Grimm would be boring you'll be notified of your task come tomorrow morning."
"Oh, okay that's cool..." Mac then scratched the back of his head, "So where am I gonna sleep at then Headmaster?"
"Don't worry Mister Little, I've requested the first-year team RWBY to show you the way to your personal dorm room for the time being, in fact, they should be here soon enough."
"Team Ruby? Well, they sound like a swell buncha guys."
"Well that would be the case if they weren't an all-female team."
"Say what now?"
Just then the elevator door dinged open and Mac then saw what he would admittedly say were some very attractive girls, though truth be told that while he was walking around lost in Beacon, he did notice that most if not all the students here at Beacon were rather very attractive. But that brought one huge problem to light for Mac, as a champion boxer he may be, but good with new people, let alone girls, he is not.
"We're here now Headmaster, what you need sir?" came a cheery voice from what Mac could see was Red Riding Hood herself, although she was in school uniform but with a flowing red hooded cape somehow attached to her. As Mac saw the four girls enter, the one in Red gasped loudly and pointed a finger. "It's you again!"
Mac was confused since he never met this girl before, and then looked around the room since there may have been another person that he just didn't see when he met Ozpin. He didn't see anyone but still saw the girl with a finger pointed at him, he then pointed at himself. "You mean me?" he asked and the girl only nodded her head, "Yes you!"
The four then started walking towards Mac, he heard the blonde one ask a question, a bit too loud of a whisper, "So Ruby, is that the guy you said appeared into the room when you stopped that robbery?"
"Yeah he is, but why is he here?"
Ozpin then stood from his seat to address them all, "Hello there Team RWBY, allow me to introduce the newest student to Beacon, his name is Mac Little, and due to recent events, will be attending classes alongside you. He was brought here by your friends of JNPR and he has told them of some rather confidential information pertaining to himself."
This piqued the curiosity of the four girls and Mac only looked at Ozpin, "But I thought you said it was supposed to be a secret Headmaster." asked Mac. Ozpin shrugged, "Which is why you have permission to inform RWBY of your predicament, trust me Mister Little, besides myself, Ironwood, Goodwitch, and JNPR, your secret is safe." Mac was reconsidering his choice of agreeing to join Beacon, but only slightly.
"If you say so. But first I guess it's fair for some introductions." Mac said while looking at the four girls, forcing a smile to his face and trying to not turn away from the stares of the beautiful girls before him, but he just went into his 'Professional' mode.
The girl named Ruby, if Mac could guess, stood forward with a smile. "My name is Ruby Rose, team leader of RWBY, and yes it does get confusing with names sometimes." Ruby chuckoed a bit at that little tidbit before in a blur was besides the girl with white hair and hugging her side, much to the annoyance of her.
"Let me go you oaf!" the white haired girl cried out, but Ruby didn't seem to mind or care, "This is my partner, Weiss Schnee, and my bestest friend in the world!" Mac smiled at her antics, "A pleasure to meet you Weiss." Weiss only huffed in reply and Mac saw Ruby blur away, with rose petals flowing from behind her away from Weiss towards a girl with black hair and bow and stood beside her with her hands behind her.
"This quite girl is Blake Belladonna, she's quite, but like Ninja quite, and she reads alot." Blake nodded to Mac and he asked a question, "Cool, do you have any book recommendations, I ain't got anything to read and this Scroll is confusing." Mac grinned and thought he saw her bow twitch, "I may have a few Mac."
Ruby smiled at seeing her team get along with Mac before she suddenly felt herself being grabbed and enveloped by mounds well developed, followed by a loud voice, "And my name is Yang Xiao Long, the resident badass brawler of Beacon and the kickass older sister of Ruby here!" Yang then squeezed Ruby more as she tried to break herself free from her sisterly grasp.
Mac tried to keep his eyes leveled with her lilac ones as he noticed the head of Ruby being smothered with her chest, Doc did try to teach Mac about eye contact but he was 17 too so, he was doing his best.
"It's nice to meet you all, also Yang you maybe want to let Ruby go, I think she's starting to not move now." and true enough Ruby wasn't flailing as much and seemed to become slower in movements, Yang's eye widened, "Sorry Ruby, forgot that air is important!" before she let go of a gasping Ruby. Mac laughed at the sisters before clearing his throat. "Right, well like Headmaster Ozpin said, my name is Mac Little, I'm seventeen, and world champion boxer and title defender of the WVBA, now retired though."
Mac saw that the girls had varying reactions, Ruby had stars in her eyes, Blake had a raised brow, Yang seemed to be sizing him up, and Weiss only scoffed at him, "As if, there is no such thing as a WVBA championship, and even if there was I very much doubt someone of your stature could even land a punch hard enough."
'Well ain't you a just a barrel of warm sunshine?' Mac thought, not only did she insult his height but also the title, but he did remember one fact though. And he was going to have some fun with it. "I ain't surprised you've not heard about it, but you see that's because it ain't held on Remnant Miss Schnee, it's from among the stars themselves on a planet called Earth." Mac held a grin as he looked at Weiss and an arm pointing out towards the sky and then pointing a thumb at himself, "My name is Mac Little of Earth, Champion Boxer with plenty of fighting spirit."
Now the girls had looks of disbelief, except for Yang who had disbelief and the look of challenge on her face. Ozpin decided to aid Mac, "Although it is far fetched, what Mister Little claims are true, there are no records of him existing outside of the instance when he appeared several nights ago in the police station in Vale, and thus tomorrow he'll be going thru initiation and for the time being will be in both the care of your team and JNPR since they know of Mac's secret." Team RWBY went from confused to serious in an instance seeing as they had essentially been given a task from the Headmaster himself, "Also, Miss Schnee, may you aid Mac in any inquires about Dust, he has a rather unique feature to his body."
Weiss bowed slightly, "Of course Headmaster, but what exactly is unique about Mister Little?"
Mac had to stop himself from tilting his head at the attitude change he just saw happen with Weiss.
"Glad you asked Miss Schnee, you see Mac has pure dust infused into his very blood, and if what past dust infusers are anything to go by, then Mister Little here is by far the most capable if not possibly the most strongest of users of such a thing."
Weiss and Blake had a look of surprise while Yang and Ruby seemed confused.
"With all due respect Headmaster, that is absurd, not only is dust infusing highly dangerous, the wear on the body would be catastrophic, and if it's used with Pure Dust would only be more so if not entirerely fatal!" Weiss stated, which caused Mac to worry very much now.
Ozpin merely nodded, "And your worry is well founded Miss Schnee, but Mister Little has had this Dust flowing within his body for the past days since his arrival here, and has shown no adverse effects that long term Dust Infusions are known for, and they have been active and strong since and before he had woken up." Ozpin then pulled up the same images of blood that he had shown Mac and Weiss stepped forward in amazement.
'Guess Dust being in my blood really is a good thing huh?' Mac thought, first he's a man from another world and now he's some kind of Medical phenomenon.
Ruby and Yang showed signs of understanding now and Blake was looking at Mac now. Weiss was the one who spoke up, "I will ensure to answer any and all questions that Mister Little has about Dust and it's applications Headmaster."
'Well she seems determined now' was the collective thought of the others in the room.
Ozpin smiled, "That is all I ask of you, and what say you Miss Rose?"
Ruby looked at Mac then at Ozpin, "Oh, Uh, Team RWBY will ensure to carry on this duty withe the utmost of importance Headmaster." as the Reaper then saluted for extra measure.
"Excellent then, so without further ado, Mister Little, please follow Team RWBY as the lead you to your dorm room. You are all dismissed." Ozpin finished.
Mac plus RWBY looked at each other before Blake decided to start heading back to the elevator and soon the rest RWY followed soon behind her while Mac was the last to follow. He gave one last look to Ozpin who only nodded to him, and then followed the girls to the elevator, trying desperately to keep his eyes above there waists.

As the elevator doors closed, Ozpin was alone in his office once again. He ensured that he was alone again before opening a desk drawer and pulling out an old photo, a team of four older men stood posing next the Headmaster himself for a team reunion, the team itself was an all male team, but the most prominent out of the team was the leader himself, a heavily muscled dark skinned man, a small fro of black hair and small black moustache, taking a well known boxer's stance. The Leader and medic of Team JOOS, nicknamed "Doc" by those of Beacon. Ozpin smiled at the memory, and at the news that he had indeed had gone missing, but it was all a ruse and far-fetched plan by Ozpin. Simple plan really, it was to get a champion from another world.
Silly yes, but the initial idea worked, and Doc had immediately volunteered for the task, so using a powerful and ancient crystal, Doc was instructed to read out an incantation, find a worthy fighter and then return back home with the fighter.
To be honest not one of Ozpin's greatest ideas but it seemed to work, sadly Doc wasn't anywhere to be found.
Ozpin them had a sad smile, "Such a foolish plan, but you really did pull through exceptionally, and a very promising one at that." He then chuckled, "I hope you are resting easy now, knowing you've given Remnant a true fighting chance as you wanted. And thank you again for that Jerome." Ozpin then folded the picture away of his friend, the one and only Jerome 'Doc' Louis, Boxer of Remnant.

A/N: There we go then, a bit meatier chapter if I say so myself, course had to rerewrite the thing after I lost the original file, but working on stories now on the site itself is so much easier and I can work on my phone as well.Anywho, yes, very short Mac, now has essentially elemental powers inside of him, but he'll learn to use em soon enough. Plus making Doc being from Remnant was little side idea, because I played with the idea that he had a Supportive Semblance that allowed for a "counter" to be seen only by allies, which is why Mac always saw a chance to strike opponents, so maybe it might've made him cheater, or maybe Doc just really wanted to see Mac succeed, it will play a part in the story that's for damn sure.
And yes, Fists will fly in the next chapter, but introductions first before the bout.
Anywho, thanks for reading and if can leave a review so I can know exactly what I can fix. Have a great day.
