As I said before I'm gonna be on vacation and the reason why I'm not gonna be posting is because of the crappy internet there might be there. I know I said that I was putting this story on hold but, I just can't. Besides, now that I have a discontinued story I can focus on this series. This time, you're gonna see Ash interacting with my OCs just a little bit, maybe even some of Team RWBY and JNPR along the lines.

However, Greninja is going to mostly be absent because he can't be shown to the people of Remnant just yet. But I will say that there will be more Pokemon to come in this series. I'm not planning on making an Akame ga Kill fanfic, but I were to, it would only be a mockery, as reference, a cameo, or to prove I can make a better version of it.

And I know I got it wrong, Ash and the others weren't on a bullhead it was an airship. I couldn't tell there was a difference, so sorry.

(AmaLee/SAO: Crossing Field)

I was never right,

For the hero type of role,

I admit it.

With my heart,

Shivering in fear,

I can see today's reflected

In each past tear.

Even so,

It has been calling

The heavens, to me,

But I cannot hide

All the emptiness inside

My fleeting heart.

Once in my dreams

I rose and soared!

No matter

How I'm knocked, around,

Or beaten down,

I will stand up

Restored!

All of my love

Has yet to wake,

I know your strength

Is what, I lack,

You've got, my back,

And now that I've got yours!

I have you to thank for lighting up the dark,

Because you're here with me

Our dreams will soar free

Forever!

I wanna always be with you,

I give you everything I have!

The airships had just landed and began letting students walk out. One student in particular stood out from the rest, he was a Faunus but that's not really what made him stand out. Unlike other Faunus who either had ears or a tail he had both, being a fox with orange hair. He had chocolate colored skin with bright orange eyes that went with his hair, he wore a white short sleeve under an orange sleeveless vest, accompanied with his tail sticking out of his blue jeans.

Casual black and white shoes and black wristbands. This boy's name was Shard Wester, he gazed upon the new school he was gonna go to with amazement. With all that's been happening lately he didn't think was going to get in, nor did he think that they'd apply to him anyway. Then he heard the sound of grunting and turned to the source to see a blonde boy on the airship run to the nearest trashcan in order for him to release his vomit.

A little disgusting but he couldn't just leave him there, he walked over and rubbed his back for him which he hoped helped. "Hey, thanks. I needed that." He said to him.

"Anytime, man. I used to get sick on planes myself back then, you'll get used to it. Name's Shard." He greeted holding out his arm.

"Uh, Jaune." The boy said accepting the handshake.

Then Shard noticed that something seemed strange with how he talked. "Something wrong?"

"N-no, it's just… I didn't know there were Faunus with both ears and tails." Jaune stated as he looked at both his tail and his ears.

"… Oh that, yeah not all Faunus are really like me." The fox boy stated as he began to walk with him.

"What do you mean, is there deferent versions of Faunus other than race?" He asked still confused.

"Of course, there're the usual casual Faunus who only have a tail and others who only have the ears. But then there're are the Infrequent-Faunus, they have both in that case." He explained, only making him lost at words. "C'mon, Infrequent is another word for rare."

"Oh…" The blonde said back to him.

"Yeah, and for the record, race is the wrong word. The correct way of saying the deference between Faunus like a dog to a cat is species, not race." The orange haired boy explained.

"Oh, uh. Sorry for being racist." The blonde apologized.

"PSH, what part about that question was racist?" He asked stopping.

"Deh, sorry. I'm not really the most social active guy you could find here, starting a conversation isn't my strong suit, let alone since you are the first Faunus I have met." He explained.

"Uh-huh…" He said to him.

Then there a long part of silence as they looked at each other awkwardly, they didn't know what to say next. Shard didn't like being in an awkward scenario, so he was thinking of an excise to get out of it.

"Is… there anything else I should know about Faunus?" The blonde spoke up.

"Hmm… well, don't touch their animal parts unless you know they're okay with it." He explained.

"Okay, I'll keep that in mind." He said until they heard an explosion.

Jaune ran to it but Shard didn't think it was gonna be a big deal and went off in a different direction. He just assumed that since it was a school for training students someone got into a fight, which did make him feel a little happy because he knew that he wasn't gonna be only one with some… issues. As he was thinking about this he wasn't looking where he was going and bumped into someone who didn't seem to see him ether.

"Sorry, about that." The boy said as he got up and looked at him.

"It's not big deal man, it happens, really…" Shard began to say, then he took notice of what he looked like.

He looked like any normal kid with a red baseball cap, reddish brown eyes and black spikey hair. What did seem strange was that he had two zigzag birthmarks on his cheeks, along with a big scar going down his right eye. He both seemed normal and not normal… what does that even mean.

"Uh, hello?" The boy asked snapping him out of his daze.

"Huh, what? Oh, sorry about that." He apologized.

"N-no, it's okay. I was actually just looking around for my friend, we kinda got separated after coming here." He stated.

"Really." The fox boy asked as he nodded. "Well, what do they look like? Maybe I can help." He offered.

"Well, she wears white completely and she carries a rapier attached to her belt, that's all I can say about her really." He explained.

He didn't have an answer for him, but he'd be happy to help.

(Later on)

The two were walking around canvas trying to find the friend of the boy, now known as Ash, but they didn't really have much luck. They did talk to each other learning about what they've been doing beforehand, but Ash didn't talk about much for some reason. Shard found it a little strange, but he could take a guess that the boy wasn't really social active ether.

"You got that many restraining orders?" Ash asked him surprised.

"Hey, those guys at that school were picking on people all around. Someone had to put an end to it, and I was sick of it happening. I was lucky enough to get them in detention." He told him with a series look. "Still, to think that you got to make friends with Weiss Schnee the heiress of the Schnee Dust Company." He said to him a little amazed.

"Well, to be honest I didn't exactly know she was that famous." The told him.

"Oh, she isn't… to me at least." The fox boy stated which confused the cap wearer. "Hello!? Her company used Faunus for labor!" He shouted at him.

"Oh, uh… sorry to hear that." He told him.

"Naw it's okay, I don't really hold that big a grudge against her, but her dad is a different story." He explained.

"I see… she doesn't really talk about her family much so, I don't know what to think of them." The cap wearer stated.

"Yeah, I'm not really excited about the idea of me meeting her, Ash." The fox boy stated, then he spotted a familiar blonde guy with a red hooded girl. "Hey, I know that guy." Shard said pointing over to him.

"Really?" Ash asked as he nodded, and they began walking over to them.

"Jaune, hey Jauney-boy!" He called out his name as he ran over.

"Oh, Shard. Hi again." Jaune said as they shook hands again.

"Uh, hi." Ash said as he just arrived.

"Hello." The red girl said in a nervous tone.

"So, what exactly happened? There was that explosion, then you were just… gone." The fox boy stated.

"Well…" the blond began to say as he looked over to the girl. "It's kind of a long story." He finished.

"Hello there, my name is Ash." The cap wearer greeted.

"And… I'm Ruby." The girl said in a less nervous tone. "… and I got this thing." She said as she pulled out what looked like to be a giant red mechanical scythe.

"DAHA!" Ash said as he almost got hit with it.

"Whoa! Is that a scythe!?" Shard asked amazed.

"It's also a customizable, high impact velocity sniper rifle." She said clicking it.

"A wha…?" Jaune asked confused.

"A gun." Ash said to him.

"Oh, that's cool." The blonde said amazed.

"So, what d'you guys got?" Ruby asked them.

"Oh-uh, I got this sword…" the blonde said unsheathing said weapon, they just pretended to be amazed so that they weren't rude. It looked like any normal blade. "Yeah, I've got a shield too." He said as his scabbard changed into a shield.

"Okay, now that is cool." Shard said amazed.

"Yeah, what do they do?" Ash asked interested.

"… Well th-the shield gets smaller, so incase I'm carrying other things it saves space." He explained to them as he turned his shield back into a scabbard.

"He's not wrong. Besides, these aren't just for show." Ruby stated as she moved scythe into a different position.

"WHOA, whoa, whoa! Careful where you're aiming that!" Ash said holding his hands up in defense as the barrel of it was pointing right at him.

"Oh, sorry." She stated as she put it away.

"So, what're your weapons exactly?" Jaune asked since the two guys had yet to show their weapons.

"Well, it's not really that special." The cap wearer said as he pulled his sword out. "Mine isn't a gun ether but it can fire different attacks depending on which dust it's set to on the barrel at the hilt, took me a while to figure out how to use it." He explained as said barrel turned which amazed them all.

Ash's sword was a long black bladed sword with a handguard to match it, not only that, it also had a barrel just above the hilt like he stated that had six slots. One of each holding different dust, that he could use to fight his opponents. (Think of Kirito's Elucidator with the barrel from Weiss' sword)

"What do you mean by that isn't special? That's pretty cool man." Jaune said to him.

"No duh, that and it looks awesome." Ruby said with sparkles in her eyes.

"Uh, thanks." He said with a smile, then they looked over to the fox boy. "So, what's your weapon, Shard?" He asked.

"Oh, these are my weapons." He said showing his arms. Silence filled the air again as they all just looked at him weirdly. "M-my arms… my arms are my weapons." He stated to them.

None of them said anything and just continued to stare at him, then one had to break the silence. "So… do like your wristbands give them armor, or…?" Jaune asked confused.

"Oh, for the lo-I don't have any weapons. I fight with my bare fists." Shard stated as he cracked his knuckles.

"Oh…" They said as they understood.

"I can understand, my older sister can do plenty of hand to hand herself." Ruby stated, then she looked around. "So, we're you guys going anyway?" She asked them.

"Uh, well…" Shard was lost at words since he wasn't really going anywhere specific.

"I was just looking for my friend." Ash stated as silence filled the air again.

"… You think there might be a directory? Maybe a food court, some sort of recognizable landmark?" Jaune asked as the others giggled. "I'll take that as a no."

(After an hour of walking around)

"OKAY! They really need to make a directory here! How is anyone supposed to know where to go?" Shard said annoyed after they just found the amphitheater where they needed to be.

"I'm with you on this, this academy is so big it's hard to find anything here." Ruby said tired of walking around.

"Well, we're here now so I guess we should go in." Ash stated as they went inside.

"Yeesh, there are a lot of people here today." Jaune stated after seeing how many there were.

"Ruby!" Someone called over to the girl. They turned to see an older blonde wave over to her. "Over here! I saved you a spot!"

"Oh! Hey, I gotta go! I'll see you after the ceremony!" Ruby said as she took off towards to girl.

"Hey, wait!" Jaune shouted.

"What's up?" Ash asked.

"Nothing, just… where am I supposed to find another nice, quirky girl to talk to?" He asked as the trio made their way over to a spot not knowing the blonde caught some red-headed girl's attention.

"Don't worry about it, there are a lot of people around here, I'm sure you can make friends with tons of girls." Shard told him with a pat on the back.

"YOU!" They heard and looked over to see Ruby in the arms of the blonde as a girl dressed in white seemed to be yelling at her.

"OH, CRAP IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN!" Ruby shouted.

"You're lucky we weren't blown off the side of cliff!" The girl in white yelled at her.

"Isn't that…?" Shard was about to say until Ash spoke up.

"Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, one of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world. She gave me the dust to use in my sword." He explained to them.

"Well, are you gonna go talk to her or…?" Jaune asked since she seemed to be harassing the poor red girl.

"I would if it didn't mean regretting it later. Weiss just needs to blow off some steam, she'll stop eventually." The cap wearer stated.

Meanwhile with another group, four people were talking. One was wearing green who had black hair with a streak of purple, the other with him was a girl with orange hair and wearing white, pink and black. As for the other two, the boy had grey hair with brown eyes, wearing a black sweater with some grey spots on it, grey sweat pants, and he had strap on navy blue and black shoes.

The other was a girl who wore a white tube top underneath a blue vest, there were two long gauntlets on each of her wrists but what do they hold, we'll just have to find out. She had detached combat skirt over short tights. She wasn't exactly interested in conversation or looked like it anyway. She had long brown wild hair tied in a pony tail down by her neck and had light auburn eyes.

"Well the name's Derek Dark, the ladies love him." The one with grey hair said to the other two.

"He's just saying that." The girl said in an annoyed tone.

"Jeez, would it kill you to just let me say something without your smart remarks, Heather?" Derek asked annoyed.

"It is nice to meet you two! I'm Nora and this is Ren, and it is a pleasure!" The orange hair girl said energetically introducing her and her friend.

"She's a little energetic, but it is nice to meet you two." Ren said to them.

"Yeah, we just got here so we got pretty lost. We lived in Mistral for quite some time as kids, an't that right Heaths." Derek said as he put his arm around his friend.

"Don't touch me and don't call me Heaths." Heather said as she forced his arm off her.

"Sounds like you two have a hard friendship." Ren stated.

"Oh, it's not that big of a deal, she just needs to open up, get more socialistic, be nicer to people and is desperate need of friends." The grey-haired kid stated.

"OH, that I can handle! Hello Heather, I'm Nora. Wanna hang out, go shopping?" The orange haired girl tried to make friends with her.

"Yeah, and we can paint our faces, and have slumber parties, and talk about cute boys like tall, blonde, and scraggily over there!" Heather said with a smile as she jerked her thumb over at Jaune who heard her.

"OMG, REALLY!?" Nora asked ecstatically.

Then the cold girl's smile dropped, and she said… "No." Which made the girl a little sad.

"G-guys, did you just hear that?" Jaune asked not knowing she didn't mean it.

"Uh, Jaune I don't think…" Shard was about to say until they heard Weiss talking.

"Yeah, and we can paint our nails and try on clothes and talk about cute boys like my Ash for example." She faked while not knowing they heard.

"Wait, what?" Ash said confused. What did she mean by my Ash exactly.

"Oh, you know Ash too?" Ruby asked after seeing who she was pointing towards.

"Oh, sure I…" Weiss was about to say then she stopped and looked over at Ash then back to her. "You… when did he even meet you?" She asked.

"Um… outside at the entrance with Shard and Jaune." The red girl told her.

Weiss paused for a second before she said… "Not one word of this conversation is to be said to him, got it?" in a threatening tone as the red headed girl just nodded.

"Ahem… I'll, keep this brief." Ozpin spoke into a microphone catching everyone's attention. "You have traveled here today in search of knowledge. To hone your craft and acquire new skills. When you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you and all I see is wasted energy in need of purpose, direction. You all assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far… it is up to you take the first step." He finished walking away from the mic.

"You will gather in the ballroom tonight. Tomorrow your initiation begins. Be ready… you are dismissed." Glynda spoke into the mic.

"Well, that guy was off. Almost as if he wasn't even there." Derek said a little confused.

"I'm a natural blonde, you know." Jaune said after walking over to Heather, who just sighed with her hand on her face.

(Later on)

The students were now being shown to the lockers in which were to store their weapons, "Each of you will be assigned one rocket-propelled locker to store your weapons and extra-armor. Additionally, your locker can be sent to a custom location based on a six-digit code." Goodwitch had just finished saying as one student had a sinister look on his face towards Jaune.

"What!?" Jaune yelled as he pushed him into the locker and was about to put in a code.

"Hey, hey, hey! That's my friend! Leave him alone!" Shard yelled as he pulled him away and pulled Jaune out of the locker. "You okay, man?" He asked.

"Yeah, yeah I'm okay." Jaune said to him.

Shard then looked back at the guy he pulled away with an angry, for Ash he was uncomfortable with how the first day was going.

(Later that night)

Everyone had gathered into the ballroom, some students wearing Pajamas, other male students having undershirts or being shirtless, and other female students had night gowns or other nightwear. Some were still getting changed, other males were tussling with each other playfully which annoyed the hell out of most students because of the noise.

Back with Ruby, she was talking with her sister before she was going to bed. "It's like a BIG slumber party!" Yang said plopping down onto her sleeping bag.

"I don't think dad would approve of all the boys though." Ruby said writing something down.

"I know I do." Yang said purring as she saw most men without shirts showing off muscles. Then when she spotted Jaune, she immediately was uncomfortable because he was wearing a bunny onesie. "What's that?" She asked seeing what her sister was writing.

"A letter to the gang back at Signal. I promised to tell them all about Beacon and how things are going." Ruby said making eye contact with the older sibling.

"Aw, that's so, cuuuuuute…" Yang laughed as she had pillow thrown at her face.

"Shut up! I didn't get to take my friends with me to school. It's weird not knowing anyone here." Ruby said annoyed.

"What about Jaune? He's nice… plus there is Ash and Shard." Yang stated

"Pretty sure Weiss doesn't want me near Ash since she's with him." Ruby stated as she rolled onto her back.

"She can't keep you from making friends, even if they're her friends, you could always compete." Yang stated getting another pillow thrown at her. "Ruby, it's only been one day. Trust me you've got friends all around you… you just haven't met them yet." Yang said still trying to cheer her sister up.

With Ash, he was making his way past the crowd of people trying to find his friend not just because he didn't want to get lost again but because he wanted to talk to her about something. He wasn't like the other guys though, he didn't have pajamas or an undershirt, instead he wore his black body glove with his pants. Then he tripped and fell down right on top of someone's lap. He looked up and the moment he saw Heather's face he shot back up with a red face.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." He tried apologizing as she got up and pulled out one of gauntlets which brought out a hidden blade just inches from the boy's throat.

"You do that again, and no semblance will ever be able undo what I do to you." She threatened him with an angry and red streak across her face.

"Whoa, whoa, Heaths, calm down. It was just an accident." Derek said walking over to her and gently pulling her away from the boy's neck.

"Firstly; you don't know that. And secondly; I told you not to call me Heaths!" She shouted at him.

"Heather, keep it down, people are sleeping. I'm sorry about that, you see we haven't really had a good impression today." He told the cap wearer.

"Haven't all have?" He asked tried to lighten up the mood.

"Heh, my name is Derek Dark, and the girl that just threatened you just now is Heather Nova. Ow." He said getting punched in arm by said girl.

"I thought we agreed to not give out our last names." She told him in anger.

"Oh, come on. It's gonna happen eventually, like in ever school they give out the last names of the students." He argued back with her. "I'm sorry, she just needs to get more friends." He explained as the girl just huffed while turning away.

"It's okay, I'm not really having a comfortable day ether. My names Ash Ketch'em." He told them.

"I can see that… come on, you say you're sorry to Heaths." Derek asked his friend.

"Wha-who do you think you are, my dad?" She said annoyed.

"Heather." He said to her annoyed.

"*Sigh*, I'm sorry. There I said it." She said annoyed.

"Uh… Okay, uh… see you later I guess." Ash said as he started walking away.

"See, ya." Derek said as he went out of sight. "*Sigh*, starting to think you should've taken that anger management class." He said annoyed at what his friend just did.

Ash was still wondering around the room looking for Weiss, he managed to find her sleeping bag, but she was nowhere to be seen. "OH, NOT YOU AGAIN!" He heard a bunch of voices shout. He turned over and found her arguing with Ruby and her sister again, although this time there was a girl with black hair and a black bow.

He sighed, no one was gonna get any sleep tonight if this kept up. While he would much rather stay unharmed rather than not hearing the end of it, he couldn't let this keep up.

"Guys, come on. Seriously, you're gonna wake the entire school up with how loud you are." He said as he went and stopped the argument.

Weiss just glanced back at them then scoffed before heading back to her sleeping bag. "I'm really sorry about what we did, Ash." Ruby tried apologizing to him.

"Hey, it's okay. We just… Weiss isn't really having a good day today. She told that her bags got knocked over by someone who then exploded a hole in front of the school, I'm sure it's nothing though." He told them which shocked Ruby and made her a little nervous.

"Yeah… it's probably nothing." She said to him as he was about to walk away. "Oh, wait! I haven't introduced you to my sister, this is Yang." She said as she tugged on her sister's arm.

"Hello." She said to him.

"Hi there." He said to her. Then he looked over at the girl in black.

"Blake." She said to him, he greeted her with a smile before looking back towards Weiss.

"Listen, I gotta go. Bye, again." He said as he went back over to his friend and sat next to her. "Weiss, can you explain what's going on here?" He asked her.

"I don't wanna talk about it." She said back to him.

"Well, we need to talk about it. What's your problem with Ruby?" He asked her again.

"Well, sorry, but when it comes to Crater-Face over there, she does nothing but annoy me over and over again." She said annoyed.

"What, just because she knocked into your bags? Come on, that's a dumb reason to hate her, and she apologized." He told her.

"I don't care, someone her age shouldn't even be in this school. This is a school for warriors, not kindergarten." She argued back which brought him to sigh again.

"Weiss, it's only the first day and you've already started a fight with someone, yelled at them constantly, and kept arguing back for no reason. She made one accident and you just freak out at her." He said to her. She just looked annoyed because of the fact that her own student was arguing with her instead of thinking that he shouldn't be. "Look, maybe you should talk to her. Get to know her from the inside, maybe you two could be good friends." He said to her.

She didn't respond instantly, she just paused for a moment looking down. "I'll… give it some thought." She said under her breath.

Ash smiled since she was finally gonna give Ruby a chance, it would be her shot at making friends. "Also, Weiss?" He asked before he was about to go to bed.

"Yeah." She asked him.

"What did you mean earlier by your Ash?" He asked her.

Weiss immediately blushed since he had heard her said the conversation she wanted Ruby to keep quiet, which is something she started to regret. "Y-you, heard that?" She asked him.

"… Uh, yeah. I'm pretty sure everyone around you could hear." He told her as he blushed as well.

She didn't know what to say, he heard her say something she didn't want him to hear and needed to find an excuse. "I… well-I, uh… I-uh… Oh would you look at the time, we need to get some sleep." She said as she laid down and pretended to sleep. She wasn't fake snoring but faking her sleep.

Ash just sighed, he thought it was way too late to deal with this so, he just decided it could wait another time. Before he began sleep, he began feeling homesick. He missed his old bed in his old house where he was with his mother, he missed his old sleeping bag from when he was traveling with his friends on a journey to be a Pokemon Master. But most of all, he missed his best friend Pikachu. If only he was still with him right now. He began to drift off to sleep with a tear rolling down his face, not noticing a pair of arms wrapping themselves around his shoulder, which he felt a little better after they did.

(The Hall of Origin)

Arceus and Palkia were watching with two other legendries, they saw how he was doing and it seemed as though he was adjusting to the world he was in, though he did seem to be getting homesick from day to day he was getting better at his sword skills.

"You know, it's sad really." Ho-oh spoke up. "I really did hope to help him accomplish his dream and continue his journey, but I guess that's out of our reach now." He stated.

"I know how you feel, Ho-oh. But this is the best we could do for him." Arceus stated.

"The world of Remnant is in more danger than any other worlds here. The world of Mobius is already in good hands, and Link is still holding his own in Hyrule. But Celebi has looked into the future of this world and they're in dire need of help, and Sora already has too much on his hands to summon." Palkia explained.

"… We're still looking for a way to bring his Pokemon over to Remnant, in the meantime all we can do is watch and hope that he'll be able to withstand whatever comes his way." Mewtwo stated as he continued to observe Ash.

"I guess all I can do now is hope that he has a chance this time." Ho-oh stated as they continued to watch over the young boy.

There might be some foreshadowing in this chapter, there may not. I'll leave that to you to figure, in the meantime stay tuned for more chapters during/or after vacation. For those wondering why I decided for Crossing Field to be the theme it's for lots of reasons. Again, if I did do an Akame story it would be ether a mockup, a one-shot, them being in another universe, or just to prove I can do better. Are there spelling errors in this chapter, I'm too lazy to take car of them.
