Time for our first Quest
Enjoy this one!
Yep, the younger Yang is right here with a passed out Ruby, she looked adorable she snored lightly in the small wagon. Too bad she's in a dangerous forest with Grimm inside.
That means that I'm gonna have to fight some Grimm, I don't have a fucking weapon yet and already things aren't going well.
"Who are you?" She asked tiredly
And she's tired, well shit guess this makes things kind of worse in my opinion. I can work around that though.
I did forget about that part for a sec, she's gonna be disappointed when she hears about her mom.
"My name is-" I was about to say when we heard a growl and a menu popped up

'Shut the fuck up Chronos.'
I sigh and steel myself for battle, my eyes growing serious.
"Hold on, gonna have to take care of our little problem first." I say
|Play Battle Theme #3 from Final Fantasy Ⅸ|
I hear the Grimm a couple of feet behind me, I sigh internally as time suddenly starts to slow down.
Is this another tutorial?
[Looks like your in a sticky situation, luckily time's frozen giving you enough time to learn how to basically use a spell.]
Yep, it is.
That's when suddenly a menu appears before me.
[Current Spells]
|Fire: Does 12 damage costs 2 MP, has a chance to burn the enemy|
|Blizzard: Does 10 damage costs 1 MP, has a chance to either slow or freeze the enemy|
|Thunder: Does 20 damage costs 4 MP, has a chance to stun the enemy|

|Esuna: Clears Status effects on one person costs 7 MP|
|Summon Phantom: Allows you to summon a Phantom for battle costs no MP but for the amount of time he out uses PP, running out of PP replaces it with MP|
Time starts to speed up again, I guess I should improvise. I look at it and put my hand out, I smirk at them.
"Got something for ya asshole, Fire!" I yell
A bolt of fire came out of my palm was shot out, and setting it on fire which meant that Burn chance happened.
It got back up and continued its attack, I need Chrono to check its Stats.
|Already on it, and you can just think Scan for me to do it also|
[Young Beowolf]
|Race: Grimm|
|LVL: 4|
|Weakness's: Fire, Ice, Earth, Electricty, Gravity, Holy|
|Description: A Young Beowolf that does not know much about fighting Humans, after see one appear and others follow with it. It decided to attack with its friends|
Level 4? Well, I can't think that the game will make things that easy on me, wonder how much EXP are these guys worth? Regardless, I'm gonna have to fight this thing.
I then jumped up into the air and aimed my palm at it, and I thought of the best line ever.
Well... not the best but the best I could think of at this time.
I'll work on it later.
"FREEZE DIRTBAG!" I say as ice came out of my palm
It was starting to being frozen, I then landed as one Beowolf's in the mission line came out of the forest.
I looked at it and held my hand out with energy building up in me, I then focused on my Mana pool.
I thought about projecting it into my hand rather than manipulating it.
[New Spell unlocked!]
|Energy Blast: Does 10 damage, costs 4 MP|
"Energy Blast" I yell
A bolt of energy came out of my hand, it was a pretty good strike. It got back up and ran at me claws first, and crossed my arms as it hit me. It stung like a bitch, thank you gamer body. I looked at as its eyes glowed slightly, we circled each other for a bit.
I knew this would have to be the final strike, I then focused on another spell to use which would work.
I then jumped up and used my most powerful spell I knew currently at this time.
"Thunder!" I yell out
A thunderbolt came from the sky as it struck the Grimm, killing it as I landed.
I did it, wasn't that hard.
"WATCH OUT!" I hear Yang yell
I turn around to see a Beowolf was about to slash me, I cross my arms and hope I wouldn't die as I closed my eyes. I hope I can take enough damage from this thing considering how strong I am.
That's when I noticed something, it didn't attack.
I opened my eyes to see that a golden knight was blocking its slashes with his shield, he looks at me. All I see is a pair of blue orbs in it, which seems to be a ghost and its standing by me.
Lionheart
So that's its name, by the look of it... yeah, this is a Jojo Reference. I then smirk as I yell this while sticking my arm out.
Time to do a JOJO!
"Lionheart, slash it!"
That's when he slashed the Grimm, it fell backward. That's when I ran over as I noticed the knight behind me, I then start to punch it saying this the whole time as i punched it all over.
"ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA,ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA!"
That's when i finish with a winding punch, I threw it and the Grimm just launched into the forest thanks to my combined punch with Lionheart.
I realize my hands are in pain but it fades thanks to Gamer's body being active, I shake the dull pain in my hand off.
[You win!]
|50 Lien and 25 EXP gained|
"Man, that was a really tough punch." I say
"Yeah, that was." I hear Yang say impressed and amazed
I look at her, and she's just sitting there with a now awake Ruby looking at me.
I dart my eyes around the area and gave them a small wave with a small smile.
"Hello so like I was about to say before we were rudely interrupted, my name is-" I was about to say before Qrow ran in
Needless to say, he was confused by what I just did, I looked at him.
"Okay, so we should probably leave this dangerous area before anymore Grimm start to show up." I say
Qrow nods and goes over to Yang and Ruby, I walk over also since I needed to converge with the group now.
[Quest Updated!]
|Grimm Meeting|
|Description: You've arrived in Remnant, yay! But you have to fight some Grimm, which sucks but luckily you'll get some good rewards if you do this and be able to kickstart your way to the end goal|
|Objective 1: Kill the Grimm or stall until Qrow arrives while protecting Yang and Ruby|
|Objective 2: Bring Ruby and Yang back to their worried father safe|
|Rewards: 50 Exp, 5 dust crystals, new friends, new home, an area to build your weapon, Aura being unlocked, timeline being changed slightly|
|Failure: You dying, timeline changes in a bad way|
|Bonus Objective 1: Summon Lionheart|
|Bonus Objective 2: Heal Yang|
|Bonus Objective 3: ?|
I look at Yang and notice that she's still a bit tired, focus my energy again and aim my palm at her.
"Cure." I say
A green light comes out of my palm, Yang's scratches are healed but she's still a bit tired.
I get up and do the same to myself, Ruby looked at me in amazement.
"How are you able to do that?" She asks in wonder
I look at her for a few seconds, I have no idea how to respond to this. I didn't plan this far ahead, the plan originally was to get here, met them, possibly have to fight a few Grimm, make friends.
That was as far as I planned... sometimes I really ask how I even managed to get through high school.
I mean, I could tell the truth but that could cause problems, so I'm just gonna say something that will distract her.
"I'll tell you when I have the time, for now, we have to remain vigilant since we were just attacked by Grimm." I say
We then start to walk back, Yang gives me occasional glances at me. Qrow has been keeping a short eye, and Ruby has been eating some cookies that she somehow had.
Leave it to her to have some cookies on her, she does like them a lot... not as much as strawberries.
The Drunken Hunter then gives me a bit of a long look.
"So, why are you guys looking at me exactly?" I ask
"I'm looking at you because all your wearing is some old and torn shorts along with a weird gauntlet plus a small sack kid." Qrow says
I look at my legs, and I am indeed wearing torn shorts. I'm also not wearing a shirt, thus revealing my pale and skinny body frame.
Also, i can see the Hacker gauntlet on my right arm and my infinite bag on my shorts, I smile at them a little.
Glad those had a vanity option of some kind... or am I wrong? I'll check tonight.
"Didn't know I was wearing that, guess I forgot that I was wearing them." I say jokingly
"I'm surprised you were out here." Yang says
"I do tend to walk around and do stuff alone, so yeah there's that." I say
"A kid around Ruby's age out here is interesting, and suspicious, very suspicious." Qrow says
I roll my eyes a little at that, I know I'm a kid but is it really that hard to believe that I could survive out here.
Qrow was in a bandit camp after all, so really, he shouldn't be that suspicious...
Now that I say that out loud, I realize how dumb that kind of sounds.
I mean... he does have a good reason for being suspicious.
Damn... I can fight Grimm yet I can't plan ahead sometimes and sometimes I say dumb shit.
"Okay I can agree on that, plus I'm guessing you saw what I just did?" I say
"Yep, I'll have to question you about that later ya know that kid?" Qrow says
I sigh and looked at him deadpanned.
"That's a fairly obvious statement." I say
"Just letting you know." Qrow said with a shrug
"Yes, and I do know that. My name is Aaron, not kid." I say a bit annoyed
"Well my name is Qrow, and these are my two nieces. Yang is the blonde and Ruby is the black-haired one, and we're heading back to their home." Qrow explains simply
"Alright, nice to meet you three. You know... I kind of find it strange that two girls happened to wander to where I was... any particular reason?" I ask, knowing exactly what happened
Yang stiffens and Qrow looks at her with a frown.
"I get you want to find her but-"
"I just want to know who my mom is!" Yang yells
"And you will one day." I say
She looks at me confused as does Qrow and Ruby, I sigh.
"There will be a time for you to know who your mother is... I might know who she is, I might not. I've been around the block a few times if I know one thing. No person is truly impossible to find, it's just hard... so chin up and relax. You don't have to worry about that for a couple of years, your dad will tell you." I explain
"...Thanks." Yang says with a small smile
"No prob." I reply
A menu pops into my few.
|Due to your kind words, your Charisma was raised by two|
I silently close the screen (mentally) and we continue on, I'm starting to wonder if taking this deal was a good idea.
After a bit of walking, we then arrived at Ruby and Yang's home, where Taiyang came out.
"Hey Qrow, thank Gods you found them." He says happily
"You're welcome and all, Tai, but I wasn't the one who found them." Qrow says
Taiyang steps back a little, his eyes wide as they can be.
"Who found them then?" Taiyang asks concerned
"That would be me." I say, getting his attention
He then looks at me, he notices that I'm around Ruby's age and had some weird items and torn clothing.
It makes him... a bit more confused.
"You found them?" Taiyang asks me
"Killed the Beowolf's attacking them also." I say with a proud look
"I severely doubt that" Taiyang asks me with a serious look
I focus my energy, a small ball of energy appears in my hand. I lift it for him to see causing his eyes to widen.
I grin smugly at this, never underestimate me once. Even in this form.
"Energy Blast." I say as i throw it at a tree nearby
This causes to be partly dented, it was slightly charred.
Taiyang looks at me in shock, I then plainly smile.
"Believe me now?" I ask
Taiyang simply nods as gestures me inside and everyone else inside, I shrug and walk in.
The home is quite nice, a bit rustic on the outside but it has the modern feel on the inside.
I sit on the couch as Taiyang sits across from me with Qrow seeming to be around the house.
I don't have 360 vision, so I would have to look around to get a fair view.
But I want to focus on Taiyang here, for the best considering the situation.
The couch is fairly big but I can still sit on it, I do have a fair height.
"Do you have your Aura unlocked?" He asks me
"No, I don't." I say honestly
"Do you have any Dust Crystals or even a weapon?" He then asks me
"Nope, not that either. I did fight it off using a strange spirit though but I don't think that counts." I say casually
"Then how did you fight them with those skills?" He asks me
I look around to see if Yang or Ruby is nearby, Qrow is standing nearby with a neutral look on his face. He seemed to be listening intensively to what I'm saying, I guess he got a whiff that I'm supernatural.
Good, this makes what I'm about to do easy.
I then look at Taiyang, who seems pretty focused on me.
I close my eyes and think of what I should say.
"Let me ask you two something... do you believe in fairy tales?" I ask
Qrow's eyes widen as do Taiyang's, I then move to show them my gauntlet a little even though I closed my eyes.
I could sense that I did, I could tell because... I've had pretty good senses in my old world.
They must have transferred over from that universe.
"Have you ever believed in a parallel universe, because they are real." I say
"How can know?" Taiyang asks in a serious voice
"Because I'm proof along with this guy." I say as I will Lionheart to appear
They look at him shocked, he bows from what I can tell from the clanking armor.
"I am Lionheart, Persona of Aaron Thompson. User of the Fool Arcana, the Arcana of zero." Lionheart says
He can talk... huh... that's... kind of cool, so it's like a Stand/Persona kind of thing, that's pretty badass actually.
What's next, people who are partially Grimm due to experimentation by Salem?
That's when I decide to speak up again, still keeping my eyes closed.
"You see I was born in a different universe. A universe where Grimm don't exist, neither do Faunus and Remnant is... different from my world. I was unfortunately killed after saving someone from getting killed, met some guy who told me what to do, and I ended up in front of that cabin." I explain
"Why are you telling us this?" Taiyang asks confused
"The reason I'm telling you? Well, you're some of the few people that can help me stop someone evil enough to kill everyone in Remnant." I say
"Who are some of the others?" Qrow asks curiously
Silence, I open my eyes with the same look Ozpin uses when he's talking about something serious.
It seemed to be kind of effective as it caught Qrow's attention slightly
"Ozpin is one of them." I say
"Why would you need Ozpin?" Qrow asks confused
"He's the only one that can provide some of the things I need, after all, You wouldn't want to have a bunch of people dead while others harmed in the future, now would you?" I ask raising a brow
A tense silence falls over the room, I could see Taiyang knew what I meant as did Qrow.
They knew Yang and Ruby would be a part of that most likely.
"No, I wouldn't." Qrow says with a sigh
"Then you'll have to let me help you take care of this problem and I'll need some items from you guys." I say
"Okay, what?" Taiyang asks
I think over the things I need, I do need quite the list of items.
This is to prepare for bigger things, so this is gonna have to work.
"First Armor and clothes, these rags I'm wearing won't do. I can make some of the armor and buy clothes, I'll be able to buy items of my own with enough time." I explain
"Okay." Taiyang says with a nod
"Then I'll need a weapon, which I'll make from a forge you can give me access to, it won't be great but it'll do for now. It's either that or you can get me a Combat Knife, I can go out and get some materials myself to make a basic weapon and work my way up from there." I then say
"Not gonna ask how you're gonna get the materials some weird thing you can probably do... so go on." Taiyang says
"Right now, I'll need a house and to join Signal, that way I can get to Beacon or something like that with proper credentials. I'll need my Aura unlocked, and some Grimm to kill." I explain next
"Not gonna ask about the Grimm, you can live here if you want to, we can get you into Signal and we can unlock your Aura." Taiyang says simply
"Finally, I'll need to talk to Ozpin and get some things in motion. That'll really get what I have a plan in action from there, it'll be a hop skip and a jump to keeping Remnant safe." I say
"Okay, we can do that. When do you want to talk to Ozpin?" Qrow asks
"After I get the items I need, then I'll be able to talk to him. I hope we can knock this out in a month or two, after all. The real threat doesn't come until way later, so I'll need to prepare in that time. Which we have plenty of but I'm not wasting a single second" I say as I get up and look out the window
"Smart choice and Anything else?" Taiyang asks
"Yes, what we talked about should be secret. I'll talk to you when things start to be set in motion, I'll be able to stop so many things from happening. Things that... I feel should have never happened" I say
"I understand but I have to ask... are we just a part of your plan or is it something?" Qrow asks
I look back at them and I smirk widely.
"You may be a part of my plan but in my eyes, you're friends and that's what I somewhat like to think. Even though I'm a kid, I have the near mindset of an adult. I died in my teens, sure, but I've been raised to respect adults who give respect to me. You've done that thus far and therefore, you have my respect." I say
This seems to raise their morale a little since I basically told them about a horrible future.
A menu then pops up in front of my face.

Okay, now... I should mention this since I'm here now.
There is gonna be a lot of differences between the old version and the new one.
For instance, there's going to be ultimate weapons for the group meaning everyone has an ultimate version of their weapon which is either found or for some made.
All of these are basically a reference to Final Fantasy and other JRPG's with their ultimate weapons.
Among that there are others but I'm not gonna tell you about them, not yet anyway.
I'll see you guys in the Fandom.
