Woo! An early update. Hope you guys enjoy and tell me if there's anything concerning in this fic that you don't particularly like and how I should maybe fix it. I don't want this fic to be too similar to other crossovers. I want this one to be unique, not just like any other. Also, all the episodes won't have the exact same thing happening because that's boring. Now back to the story!
"Are we there yet?" Aurae queried.
"For the thousandth time, NO!" Weiss replies with irritation.
"Technically, that's not the thousandth time." Ruby corrected.
"Just shut up!" Weiss spat.
Aurae raises his hands in mock surrender and mutters, "I was just asking. Sheesh."
He remains silent for the rest of the time, occasionally messing around with his exotic sniper rifle—Borealis. He kept reloading it, changing it from void to solar to arc. Weiss became suspicious after seeing the sniper rifle and his hand cannon, Crimson, but she was always suspicious of him in the beginning.
So, he didn't really care. He's very bored, so this seemed to be the only thing that would keep him occupied. The girls did think it was weird though.
Although, he didn't get to do this before Ruby inspected it. She was literally going crazy over it, and he thought his other hunter friend, Elize, was obsessed with weapons. Looks like Ruby and Elize would become great friends.
He did not want to be in the same vicinity as them though. Dealing with one Elize was bad enough.
"Look! The relics!" Yang points out.
"When you guys said relics, I expected something different." Aurae commented.
"Well, we didn't know they were gonna be chess pieces too." Ruby added.
They each grab one piece, each of them of different color and shape. Some were similar in color. Aurae senses movement nearby, his helmet pinging danger.
"Uh...guys?" Aurae asks.
"What now?!" Weiss exclaimed.
"There's something big, and I mean BIG, near—" Aurae began.
"DEATHSTALKER!!!" Ruby yells.
Jaune, Pyrrha, Nora, and Ren appeared as well right when the big Grimm arrived.
"Oh we're all gonna die." Jaune croaked.
"Not if I can do anything about it." Ruby retorts, now racing towards it with her scythe in hand.
"Oh yeah, let me introduce everyone else to you after this—RUBY! STOP!" Yang says, but abruptly starts yelling and chasing after her sister.
Aurae stood there, dumbfounded. First, he meets a bunch of girls who are apparently huntresses in training. But seriously, who makes kids fight these...things? That's just, against any moral law. Whoever this Ozpin guy is, Aurae hopes he realizes what exactly he's letting these kids do. Second, what in the name of the Traveler is that thing?!
Ruby starts fighting whatever that thing is. Everyone else starts helping and he watches with awe. All their weapons had so many cool things. THEY COULD ALL CHANGE.
Did those daggers just change into pistols?
Jaune was lame though, he seemed to only cower behind everyone else. Boring. Aurae let's them do their work because Weiss obviously doesn't trust him enough to join.
Since he was thinking to himself, he didn't catch what was happening later on. Once he looks back, he sees Ruby literally slice the head off of the big bird that used to be flying. And the scorpion thing got stabbed in the head by its own stinger. Ouch.
'What exactly happens on this planet. And how is this even normal?' Aurae thinks.
'Like I said, this world is peculiar.' V interrupts him.
Aurae almost jumps from hearing V talk and scolds, "Don't scare me like that."
"Come on! They're dead so we can head back to Beacon now," Ruby says with excitement, "did you guys see what I did. Do you think Ozpin will compliment me? Oh, I hope so. Maybe even that huntress will be proud!"
Weiss rolls her eyes, "Let's just head back. We all worked together thank you very much. It wasn't just you."
'What a weird bunch of kids.'-Aurae.
'I agree.'-V.
'I'm starting to regret following them.'-Aurae.
As they walk back, Aurae starts getting nervous. Would being from whatever Atlas is really be a good explanation? He'll need to think of a backstory really quick.
'Hello? You got me remember.' V says, offended.
'Oh right! Got any ideas?'-Aurae.
'Okay, this is what I got so far. You could say that you're from Atlas and wanted to go and attend Beacon like all the girls thought. Don't remove your helmet and say you have ugly scars or something and it makes you self conscious. Basically, just say you don't like people seeing your face. We don't want them finding out you're an exo. Say you learned from your dad and he died, so you decided to learn more here, and maybe even become a Hunter—I mean—Huntsman. Gosh, I'm gonna keep mixing up the two.'-V.
"Hello? Hunter? We're here." Yang says, and is waving her hand in front of Aurae's face.
Aurae turns his attention to her and didn't realize they already reached their destination. He looked around with interest. This place was cool, but not as cool as what the Dreaming City looks like, minus the darkness of course. It still looked beautiful though.
"Now to take you to Ozpin." Weiss states, dragging him to where ever Ozpin might be.
Yang brightens, "So yeah, we're team RWBY, Ruby, and the other four are team JNPR, Juniper."
Oh, she was talking to him the entire time? He wasn't paying attention.
'She just explained what they were doing in the forest and introduced everyone. The explosive girl is Nora, the quiet boy is Ren, the blonde boy with a shield and sword is Jaune, and the armored girl with a spear is Pyrrha.'-V.
'Oh.'-Aurae.
"Who have you brought here, Weiss?" Who Aurae assumes is Ozpin, asks.
"I don't know where he came from. Maybe you have an idea, he was in the forest with us and he definitely did not come from here," Weiss explains, "I was hoping you would know what to do with him. He claims that his name is Hunter. I don't trust him though."
Ozpin sips his drink then asks Aurae, "Are you from Atlas? If so, did Ironwood send you here?"
Mrs. Goodwitch—Ruby told Aurae about her—studied him with cold eyes. Great, another person like Weiss.
Aurae shrugs and nods his head.
Ozpin hums then asks some more, "Do you happen to be looking to attend this Academy?"
Aurae freezes, should he?
'It could give us a life here. I can't seem to find a way out of this.'-V.
Aurae hesitates, should he really trust this guy. He gives him a weird feeling. Like how he felt around the Speaker. The Speaker was strange, and Ozpin gave off the same weird feeling.
He shivered inwardly, who exactly is this guy?
