beacon academy was in flames the building crumbling as demonic laughter filled the air he started running through the halls as they twisted and turned the world around him becoming darker as if it was an eclipse as he turned a corner he found a sight that horrified him laying in the courtyard were the body of team RWBY and JNPR there flesh torn body's burned and distorted suddenly ruby began t whimpering slightly Alex rushed over to her crescent rose lay by her its blade broken in two a large gash running along her abdomen
"ruby" he said kneeling down next to her cradling her in his arms
"Al..ex" she said weakly
"im here ruby im here" he said as he held the girl in his arms blood staining his clothing
"you...said you'd...protect us...be there f..or us" she croaked out as her breathing began to grow faint her silver eyes began to close until she lay still
"no ruby" he said gently shaking her only to have no response she didn't deserve this none of them did why couldn't they have taken him instead he gentle laid her down before getting back to his feat and turning to leave but he stopped when a soft chuckle came from behind him turning he found rubys body had began to move again she looked him dead in the eye her silver eye's gone replaced with soulless black voids staring at him
"you failed us" rubys voice was now raspy and distorted her face twisted into a sadistic grin "poor little Alex always trying to do the right thing but always hurting the people closest to him hmhmhmhmhAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" her body began to shift and change growing in size and broadness her eyes shifted into two black visors as her face molded into a familiar helmet, psycho red stood before him
"...after all thats all you've ever been able to do" psycho red said the body of JNPR and WBY began to rise laughing hysterically as they too were replaced by psycho rangers and began to close in on him...

*beep!*
*beep!*
*beep!*

Alex eyes shot up as he rolled off the side and landing face first onto the floor
"Oooooh" he groaned rubbing his head
"sorry you, were thrashing around allot i had to try and wake you up " a child like voice winced looking up from his position a small robotic navy blue owl with bright yellow eyes sat on his desk overlooking him
"it's ok circuit" Alex said standing back up before heading to the wardrobe
"nightmare?" circuit asked with some concern
"yea but dont worry you get used to them after a while" Alex said retrieving the school uniform provided to him by the school before heading to the bathroom the warm water from the shower was soothing on the bruises that fury gave him the day prior exiting the bathroom he sat down at the desk next to circuit placing his plummer badge down a holographic screen appeared Alex began reading through multiple files on the psycho rangers compiling them into a file on the scroll he was given the night prior
"circuit can you scan for anything matching the psycho rangers description in vale?" Alex asked
"it'll take some time but ill see what i can find " circuit responded
"thanks little guy" Alex said before looking up at the clock 8:50
"well i got class if you find anything contact me right away" Alex said
"alright" circuit said before Alex left the room "good luck "

"Monsters! Demons...Prowlers of the night. Yes the creatures of grimm have many names." professor port began
ruby began snoring slightly Alex merely sighed 'really, ruby'
the professor continued "But i merely refer to them as prey" giving a somewhat hearty laugh that woke ruby up
' he's one of those teachers isn't he ' Alex thought with some disdain the whole class was quiet and professor port continued "Uhh and you shall be to, upon graduating from this prestigious academy. Now as i was saying ,vale as well as the other three kingdoms, are safe havens in an otherwise treacherous world . our planet is absolutely teaming with creatures that would love nothing more then to tear you to pieces" and thats where we come in Huntsmen! Huntresses " port clicked his tongue at yang causing her some discomfort before continuing" individuals who have sworn to protect those who cannot protect themselves from what you ask? why... the very world" announced port
"Ayyyyy-Yep!"
every students turned to find a boy standing with his hand held in the air after a few moments he sat back down
"that is what you are training to become. but first a story. A tale of a young handsome man. Me! when i was a boy" Alex pretty much shut him out after that sentence his mind wandered back to earth his friends Ben, Rook, Gwen, Kevin... Kate no he couldn't think about her...not now at least
his train of thought was interrupted by Weiss shouting "i do sir!"
she had a look of annoyance on her face while she had her hand raised
"well then lets find out " professor port said as he turned towards a cage that appeared to have something inside it
Alex turned towards yang who was sitting in front of him and asked "how did we not see that?"
"i have no idea" she responded
XXXXX
after Weiss got into her battle dress as she called it, she entered her fighting pose and waited for the professors cue
"Gooo Weiss" yang cheered
"fight well" Blake cheered waving a small flag with the teams name
"Good luck!" Alex cheered
"yea, represent team RWBY!"Ruby cheered
Weiss turned towards Ruby in annoyance"Ruby im trying to focus"
"oh sorry"Ruby said
'what's up with her?' Alex thought
then the professor said "Alright let the match begin" as he cut the lock of the cage a grimm resembling a wild boar charged directly at Weiss who doges out of the way while attempting to damage it with her sword although proving ineffective against its natural Armour
"Ha Ha wasn't expecting that were you?" the professor asked
'you are not helping' Alex thought
"Hang in there Weiss" Ruby shouted
Weiss charged foreword at the grimm as it did the same as the two clashed her blade was caught behind its tusks
"bold new approach i like it" the professor said
"come on Weiss, show it who's boss" Ruby cheered
then she was distracted by Ruby's cheering using this to its advantage the grimm then disarmed Weiss
"Oho now what will you do without your weapon?" professor port asked
the grimm charged at Weiss who doges out of the way the grimm crashed into one of the desk and fell onto its back while the grimm was down Weiss then ran towards her sword picking it up and turning to face her foe
"Weiss, go for the belly theirs no armor underneath-" Ruby shouted before Weiss interrupted
"Stop telling me what to do!" Weiss yelled
The grimm rolled into a ball before shooting of towards Weiss. Weiss formed a glyph stopping the grimm in its tracks knocking it onto its back Weiss propelled herself foreword with another glyph squiring it through the abdomen
"Bravo! Braa-vo! it appears we are indeed in the presence of a true huntress in training. im afraid thats all the time we have for today be shore to cover the assigned readings and, stay vigilant. Class dismissed."
Weiss walked out of the room without uttering a word Alex waited for everyone to leave before heading out himself just in time to see Weiss stomp away from a distraught Ruby
Narrowing his eyes, he summoned the black Dino morpher. vanishing out of sight he followed the heiress to where ever she was going.
at the same time, ozpin had been watching he smiled to himself before making his way over to Ruby.

Weiss made her way out of the school and onto one of the many balconies overlooking the campus. she took a few breaths trying to calm down
"Weiss" she turned to find Alex standing behind her
"what?" she said
"what was your problem with Ruby back in class.?" Alex asked
"It's ruby herself! she's the problem!"
"care to elaborate" Alex said ignoring the heiress hostility
" She's supposed to be a leader but all she's been so far is a nuisance" Weiss said
"what has she ever done to you besides accidentally falling on your luggage she has done nothing wrong" Alex said
"so, its the fact you believe you should have been leader" Alex said the heiress didn't respond so he continued
"it,s only been one day i doubt that ozpin may have made a mistake appointing Ruby as leader " Alex said
"but why? all she's done is act like a child!"
" let me get this straight a fifteen year old get's accepted into one of remnants combat schools two years early and is appointed team leader by the headmaster himself and your pissed because the outcome isn't what you wanted " Alex said
the heiress face dropped as she glared daggers at him"w-what how dare you! where do you get off speaking to me in such a manner?!"
"right there" Alex said pointing at Weiss "that right there is exactly what's causing all the problems. you upset that things didn't go the way you wanted them to so your turning all that anger onto Ruby and doubt Ozpin's decision" Alex said
"so you would blindly follow Ozpin's decision even after you've seen how exceptional i am!?" Weiss demanded
"your skill in battle is only matched by your poor attitude, it's clear you've spent your entire life getting exactly what you wanted. because of that you cant cope with disappointment when things dont go your way " he said calmly
the heiress crossed her arms and turned her nose up, "That's not even remotely true..."Alex raised an eyebrow at her and the heiress faltered " well... not entirely true"
"thew outcome didn't turn out the way you wanted but that doesn't mean you can't make the best out of the situation at hand. at any point did you think acting the way you have would change the headmasters mind" Weiss was silent while Alex continued " each person brings there strength and weaknesses but only together can the truly be triumphant
Weiss didn't know what to say Alex turned to her "you may not be leader but you still play an important role in your team. Ruby is still young with you as her partner your able to teach her what it means to be just that a leader" Alex said with that he began waling away leaving her to her thoughts
Alex began walking back inside the school only to find ozpin, sipping his coffee
" how long were you standing there?" Alex asked
"long enough, that was quite the speech, you gave, there Alexander."
" professor i have to ask why did you make me there mentor?" Alex asked ozpin took a long sip of his coffee before he spoke
"...you have seen and endured many things that no other has. i saw the footage of your battle in the emerald forest you were willing to give your life in defense of your fellow students. i do not think there is one more qualified for the position. "Ozpin said before taking a sip from his coffee" i believe having you as there mentor, will help train them for not only battling the creatures of grimm but for what may come in the future i have faith that with your guidance they will be ready for what come next " Ozpin said before taking his leave
" I hope your right Ozpin... i hope your right " Alex said before heading back inside the school

on earth inside the plumber base, Blukic and Driba, earth's Galvin scientist, were currently examining the recovered parts for the transporter that the plumbers managed to salvage. while the two were members of the most intelligent species in the galaxy, they were rather dimwitted for Galvin slandered's. regardless the two were still rather capable scientist and came through when they had to. although they were having a little trouble figuring out the device in front of them
"have you found anything out yet" Max said as he entered the lab with Ben and Book
"not much" Blukic said with a bit of disappointment
"from what we can tell this was originally a Gen 1 null void projector but its been upgraded with multiple forms of technology Driba explained " they augmented the systems so that instead of sending the user to the null void it can transport them to any dimension of there choosing"
" if we can rebuild the transporter would it be possible to track down the previous users and retrieve them" Rook asked
"Definitely... probably... maybe" Blukic said while adjusting his hat to hide his face
" that's not exactly reassuring" Ben said
"Perhaps i may be of some assistance" a voice said from outside the lab
the plumbers present turned to find a middle aged man with a white coat and cybernetic arm standing in the door way
"professor paradox it's good to see you again" max said as he shook the time travelers hand
"likewise Maxwell" paradox said
"this is perfect you can just bring Alex back" Ben said
"im afraid not" Paradox said
"why not" Ben wined
"Alexanders presence on the world he has been sent to may change it for the better if i were to return him here, that world situation may become dire with the threat of the psycho society combined with the enemies present there"Paradox explained
"so why did you come" Rook asked
" To ease your worry's" paradox said" as well as to tell you if young Alexander requires any aid from outside that dimension, i will bring them there, and that aid may include you so please refrain from touching the transporter before it explodes again"
Blukic and Driba who were analyzing the circuitry quickly took a step back, away from the device before paradox left in a flash his work only juts beginning
there we go chapter complete i know this chapter is kinda boring but dont worry i got some big plans coming up i hope you all enjoy wha i have to offer and to my faithful readers i wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy new year
