Ch 2. Remnants first Alien encounter

It had been a week since Jaune had arrived at remnant and finally he had finished looking up everything important about the planet, and to make a long story short this place is basically 'Space Boonies'

"I mean seriously you have the technology to recreate hard-light structures but you still haven't even made a single freaking satellite. What the hell"

During his time researching Jaune had discovered a couple of things, for starters there are these animals that are considered evil incarnate, instead of countries they're called kingdoms even though there are no monarchies. One of the kingdoms, called vale, was destroyed about a year and a half ago. Atlas is currently under martial law. Mistal is like gotham-city from the comics; And Vacuo, well it's the only relaxed one. Then there are also the animal-people. Other than that it's not too bad.

"Alright, it's time to make history and be the first alien- wait am I even an alien? I mean I was born here, but then I got abducted. Eh, whatever, I'm an alien. First things first, I need to find my family. Then after that I can go and explore the world, also probably not get arrested, and bisected. Hopefully"

Descending into the atmosphere, the ship's thermal reflectors protected it from the extreme heat of re-entry. After a bit Jaune could see the clouds of the planet, having entered the airspace Jaune activated his communicator so he could communicate with other air vessels. Looking out the window he couldn't help but compare the place to earth. Sure the continents were unique and the wildlife is killer, but other than that the scenery is like a breath of fresh air.

Descending a bit he could make out some land, mountains, and snow. Ugh, of all the places he could've been he had to be in mantle. That meant Atlas was close by.

"Just my luck"

Continuing to fly he decided it would be best to find a suitable place to land. Pulling up a map of the area it showed that he was north of both Mantle and Atlas. Honestly whoever designed atlas could've put it somewhere else. What if the thing where to somehow collapse, bye bye Mantle and Atlas. Jaune continued to drive onwards, deciding to put some tunes he scrolled through his playlist on his Samsung; because even he knew when something was overpriced. *(Apple)* hitting shuffle the song that played was Take Me Home Tonight by Eddie Money, what a coincidence.

Some time passed and Jaune hummed mindlessly to the song, his focus on the sky until he saw peeking behind a cloud, a winged beast. It was completely black with two oversized wings, bones protruding around his back and probably as big as a bear. Jaune having read up on the beast's of grimm shot it out of the sky. He didn't think much of it and sipped on a can of Barq's root beer, until something hit his windshield.

"Ahh"

Looking at whatever hit it he pressed the windscreen wipers and began to hit it. Looking at what landed he saw a teenage boy, black hair, freckles, a bit tanned. He was wearing green, a lot of green actually. Also is that a cane? This kid has a weird fashion sense, sighing to himself Jaune activated his mask and walked out of his ship, his boots mag-locking to it. Picking him up he examined him, from what he could see he had a bruised face, split lip, black eye, his clothes were a mess, and his breathing ragged.

"Sheesh, whoever did this to you must've hated you. Then again you were being carried by that big creature"

Hoisting him over his shoulder Jaune carried him inside so as to patch him up and figure out what had happened to him.


It had been approximately 2ish hours since he brought back the kid and to say he had it rough was an understatement. Poor kid not only had a different amount of blunt damage, he also had some sort of poison in him, but that was taken care of, he also had bullet damage, claw marks, and magic residue. Yes Jaune had ways to identify magic he would have to thank Strange for that. Currently Jaune had sweats and a pink floyd shirt on and was eating a cup ramen.

He had changed the kid into some more comfortable clothing, thankfully Peter had left some of his clothes back so he wouldn't mind. Before he could finish eating the cup of ramen he could hear the kid waking up if those grunts weren't any indication. Turning his chair the teen was sitting on the 'medical' cot and rubbing his eyes.

"W-where am I?"

"Your currently a passenger on my ship, the Illusion"

At that the kid froze and looked up, Jaune did a simple two finger salute and slurped up some noodles. The kid took his time to look around him, he admired the posters that littered the room he was in, he looked at Jaune and saw the holo table. Looking at the monitor next to him he saw his heartbeat and other statistics. The kid was in some sort of trance, Jaune got up and walked to him.

"You had a total of 23 different injuries, including broken ribs, punctured lung, broken leg, some lacerations on your back, magic to your chest and lightning? Mind explaining what the hell happened to you?"

"Huh, oh right um, normally you would start by introducing yourself. My name is Oscar Pine and you are?"

"Arc, Jaune Arc. Now talk"

The kid looked incredulously at him and after a while of internal debate he looked at Jaune

"Um, I got attacked by grimm?"

"Kid, grimm can't use magic"

"H-how do you know about magic?"

"Kinda have to, part of the job description"

"And what Job is that?" Oscar questioned

"Oh, ya know, Guardian of the Galaxy. That type of thing"

"That doesn't sound like a job"

"Well it is. Now the truth. How did you get those injuries"

"I'll tell you but you might not believe me"

"Oscar, right? Oscar I've seen my fair share of weird. Believe me I can handle it"

Oscar looked at him and began to explain what had exactly happened. 40 minutes later and Jaune had found out that the poor boy had been taken by some sort of grimm that could speak. When he woke up he was prisoner to an evil witch hell bent on the complete annihilation of the human populace. Then for two weeks straight he was submitted to torture of all kinds. After being deemed dead by the villains he was to be disposed of, but just in case he didn't die they poisoned him.

"So if it wasn't for me, you'd be dead?" The boy nodded his head and Jaune rubbed his forehead. "Wow. yeah ok"

Looking at the boy Jaune got up and made him a cup of ramen for him to eat. He accepted it and ate in silence. Knowing this kid probably wasn't alone Jaune decided to find any lost children posters. He found none, so he was back to square one. Looking at him the kid had finished his cup of noodles.

"Hey Oscar, have any friends we can contact? Family members, distant cousins, foster care?"

His eyes widened at the notion of that, Jaune assumed he probably forgot he had friends or that his friends were looking for him. The boy got up and tried to find something until he realized he didn't know what he was looking for. He turned his head and sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck

"Do you have a scroll by any chance? I need to contact my friends"

"I don't have a scroll, but I do have a universal communicator. Follow me"

The two stopped in front of a clear screen with numbers and a camera.

"All right let me just input the area code and then just dial the number you want to put"

Jaune input the area code, that being 4972 and let Oscar do the rest. The screen then showed 5 dots moving in a circle, in the was the standard phone icon with arcs leaving it. The two waited for a bit until the phone was picked up. On the other side of the screen was a blonde haired girl, she had lilac eyes and a bit of dirt on her face.

"Oscar!"

"Hi Yang"

"Oh my gods, Oscar you're ok"

"Um Yeah, I guess you could say that. Where are you guys"

"Huh, Oh right. We were on our way to the grimm whale but we got stuck on our way there. We lost two bikes and are currently at an abandoned village. Nihlus I think it's called, anyways try to meet up with us there ok."

Before Oscar could speak Jaune made his way to the screen

"Hey, your Oscar's friend right? Look I need you to send me the coordinates of the place"

"Or how about you track this scroll through whatever piece of equipment you have. Does that sound good?"

"Works for me. Thanks"

"Any time"

That said the call ended and Jaune changed into his clothes, Oscar did the same. Making it to the cockpit of the ship he flicked some switches and input the scroll's location. Before he could move the ship Oscar made it to the cockpit and looked out the window in awe.

"Um, what type of ship is this? This definitely isn't a bullhead and it probably isn't one of Atlas' ships."

"This is a spaceship my friends"

"That's a good joke. Oh you're serious, how we don't have any dust that has been able to leave the atmosphere, let alone get to space"

"Like I said I've seen a lot of stuff in my life, that includes wandering the cosmos. Kid, you're looking at remnants of the first alien encounter. Strap in or else your gonna be feeling this tomorrow"

"Wha-"

Jaune accelerated the ship forward and Oscar just barely was able to sit down. Looking at the scroll's location he estimated he was a couple minutes away. After a bit he could see a faint light, that light got brighter and something was emerging from it. Jaune deduced it was a fire and that is a plume of smoke. He contacted Yang but she wouldn't pick up. Expecting the worse Jaune put the vehicle to hover and got up. Oscar saw him and followed, Jaune pressed a set of buttons and the back of the ship opened.

"What are you doing?"

"Question: do you have a landing strategy?"

"WhaaaaaaaAAAAAAAATTTTTT!" Oscar started but began to yell since he was pushed off the ship by Jaune. Jaune followed suit laughing as he too plummeted towards the ground.


Yang was in a bad mood. Today was supposed to be another day of travel to rescue Oscar but as it turned out he has been saved by someone so that's neat. After that phone call she had told Ren and Pyrrha about the news and were both extremely happy only for that happiness to completely shatter as they were attacked by a multitude of grimm. To make matters even worse, that Hazel guy from Haven was currently fighting them with the help of emerald and Mercury, what fun.

"You know, I'm gonna enjoy beating the ever living shit out of you"

"The feelings mutual, after all you did make a fool out of me at the Vytal Festival"

"Oh, we're still on about that"

Yang delivered a left hook at Mercury's face but he dodged effortlessly, Yang was starting to get tired out since she had been fighting for a while now. Backing up a bit she took a breather and looked at her teammates. Ren was able to keep up with Emerald while Pyrrha struggled a bit against Hazel. Unfortunately due to her lack of focus Mercury was able to get a hit in. Due to her exhaustion Yang's aura couldn't hold any longer and she collapsed.

"Heh, not so tough now are ya?" Mercury Mocked at her

Yang tried to get up but was knocked back down when Pyrrha's body collided with hers. Then Ren joined them on the pile. Mercury flanked Hazels left while Emerald his right. Hazel looked at them, his face was indifferent while mercury had a mocking smirk and emerald a simple frown.

"You all fought like true warriors today, unfortunately it will also be your last time you ever fight. My mistress doesn't like having insects such as yourself interfere with her plans so this had to be done. Any last words?"

"Fuck you"

Yang felt a swift kick to her ribs, Yang glared at emerald while she looked at her nails nonchalantly.

Before Hazel could give the signal a faint scream could be heard. Looking up Hazel outstretched his hand and caught a falling Oscar by his collar.

"The cavalry's here"

"Not so much of a cavalry but more like the horses tripping amongst themselves" Mercury quipped

"N-not me. Him"

Mercury turned around and before he could react was launched backwards into a building. Hazel dropped Oscar and both assailants turned around to face the new opponent.

"Hey big guy, Thanks for catching him for me. Kind expected him to crash"

Emerald drew thieves respite while Hazel cracked his knuckles. Yang looked at whoever said that and saw a boy looking as if he were from a sci-fi movie. The scene however was ruined when mercury propelled himself to the guy and knocked him back.

"That takes care of that"

Mercury began to walk back but stopped, Yang could hear music of sorts. It was foreign to her but it was kinda catchy. Looking behind Mercury she could see a glowing red visor look at him.

"~I'm still standing~" The mystery boy punched mercury in the face, grabbed his hair and discharged a total of 6 shots into his gut. Mercury collapsed on the floor blood leaking out of his mouth, his eyes lacking any color. The guy spun the revolver around his finger and aimed it up into the sky.

"~Yeah, Yeah, Yeah~"


And that concludes chapter 2 of Galactic Guardian.
