Usual thing right here. Glad to see you're still reading this thus far.
It's nice to see support.
Last Time on The RPG Hunter
Our hero had stopped a crime from occurring with Ruby Rose which resulted in Ruby joining Beacon thus causing them to leave home and head onward to Beacon. Meeting old friends and are ready to make new ones.
What will happen in this chapter? Find out now!
The scene opens on a peaceful green forest, right before a giant pillar of fire came out of the ground along with a giant creature.
"Why won't this thing die!" Aaron yelled in the distance
*ROOOOOAAAAAARRRR*
[Play Opening One]
A couple of hours earlier...
The bullhead had finally landed, and Aaron walked out with Ruby, Yang, Amber, Jaune, and Haruko. He had a casual look on his face as he stepped out before the grand Academy.
He had stretched a little and look around with his hands on the back of his head, Haruko while Dani just shook his head giggled slightly at this.
"What's funny?" Aaron asked
"It's that you're always so causal when getting to Beacon all the time, even when we came here the second time after getting that message." Haruko said
A month earlier...
Aaron was sleeping when he felt his gauntlet shake a little, he got up and yawned a little. He then opened his gauntlets screen, he put in the password and unlocked it. Aaron noticed he had gained a notification on his gauntlet from Ozpin, he had read it over.
"Aaron, you, Dani and Haruko should teleport to Beacon. I need to tell the three of you something important, come immediately." Aaron read aloud
A knock on his door was heard, he opened the door to find Haruko standing there along with Dani.
"You got the message also?" Haruko said
Aaron simply nodded as one of his ears twitching slightly in annoyance, he then grabbed Haruko's and Dani's hand with a yawn, the three then teleported to Beacon.
And the rest is history.
Back to the present...
"Yes, I remember. I had to get a cup of coffee from Ozpin in order to even stay awake for the whole thing, it's really hard to use my Semblance when you're low on energy and you're not fully awake." Aaron said simply
"Yep." Haruko said
"That much I know." Dani said with a nod
"Something I learned from my sisters early in the morning." Jaune uttered
Aaron noticed something was off, he looked around the area with a slightly confused look on his face
"Wait where's Ruby and Yang anyway?" He asked
He looked over to see Yang was gone along with Ruby, Amber just stood there doing nothing.
"They talked a little aways from us." She explained simply
Aaron simply nodded and look around the area using the display in his high tech glasses, he found Ruby's symbol along with... a symbol of a snowflake
He knew that symbol well, he hoped he could have prevented THAT from happening.
"Found her." Aaron said with his ears down slightly
He went to the location to find that Ruby was being yelled by a white-haired girl, Aaron gained a slight look of annoyance.
'Weiss never does change too much, huh.' He thought to himself annoyed
"HEY STOP YELLING AT RUBY!" He then yelled out
The white hair girl then looked at Aaron in anger, he then glared with his ears on high alert.
"And how do you know her?!" The girl asked in anger
"Yes Weiss, I know her. Why are you yelling at her exactly?" Aaron asked
"This dolt tripped over-" The girl now known as Weiss said
"You're luggage right? Weiss, you need to stop being a little brat right now." Aaron said in anger
"How dare you say that to a-"
"Heiress of a major Corporation in Atlas, I've already heard this before. You made a promise to be better, remember?" Aaron said putting his hands on his hips
Weiss was sighed with exasperation as Ruby was laughing slightly after she got back up.
"Okay, I guess I did make that promise... but you shouldn't yell at an Heiress." She said exasperated
"And how dare you yell at one of the three prodigy's of this school, me being one of them. You already met the other and yelled at her. The final one is my twin sister." Aaron said his ear is slightly twitching
Weiss was in shock, he was a prodigy along with this little girl.
He also had a sister, why did he never mention her at all?
She then put on an ice-cold look, which Aaron ignored.
"Okay, you may be a prodigy along with his girl but this doesn't change anything." Weiss said
Aaron then teleported away and brought back a fruit soon afterward. It was a reddish-yellow gradient and look similar to an apple.
He took a bite into it as she just walked away, Aaron just looked at the fruit.
"This is the rarest fruit in all of Vale, found it on one of my adventures before I came here. Glad I grabbed it since... I'm gonna need it for everything" He said
"Oh, so that's where you went for that one summer break." Ruby said
"Yeah, makes some pretty good juice also. Increases blood cell production along with having enough vitamins to guarantee a healthy life style for a long while. I managed to start growing it back in some of my stations." Aaron said while tossing the fruit slightly
"And yet you got that in a couple of seconds." Ruby said
"Yep, just like an average milk run." Aaron said simply
He just smiled after saying that, he then looked at Ruby.
"You know, I think we gonna do great here." He said
He then smirked as a nearby girl watched on in pure shock also.
The girl nearby then walked over, Aaron looked at her.
"Did you just teleport?" The girl asked
"Yep, and your name is?" Aaron asked
"Blake Belladonna." The girl now known as Blake replied
"Aaron Thompson, and the girl that's nearby me is named Ruby Rose." Aaron said
Blake nodded and then walked away as Ruby looked down in sadness, he frowned slightly at this.
"Welcome to Beacon." Ruby said to herself
"Look on the bright side, you've still got me, my family, and yours. Now let's go back to the others, and Jaune." Aaron said
Ruby nodded, and they walked away from the partially broken courtyard. She and Aaron along with the others plus Jaune walked into the auditorium, Aaron teleported near Yang while the three other females simply followed.
Jaune tried to find them but to no avail but met a girl with red hair, Jaune remembered the advice Aaron gave him and went for it.
'Let's hope this works out.' He thought to himself
Meanwhile, Aaron was currently talking to Yang about what happened in the courtyard.
"And that's what happened before we came in here." He said
"It's nice that you knew Weiss Schnee and all, but are you fine after that teleportation?" Yang said/asked
"Yep, it may be a bit painful sometimes but I'll recover." Aaron half lied
He knew he was fine but he lied about how his ability works and made sure that they wouldn't find out, especially by going along with it.
Then Weiss walked silently up to them, Aaron looked over with a raised eyebrow.
"Back for round two Ice Queen?" Aaron asked
"I'm here to apologize." Weiss said
Aaron smiled and little, he sighed and patted her shoulder
"It's not me you have to apologize to." He said
"Who is that?" Weiss asked
Aaron pushed Ruby in front of him, who waved at the Heiress a little with an awkward grin
"Ruby." He said
Weiss looked and Ruby, she bowed a little.
"I apologize for my yelling, I should have paid attention." She said
Ruby just smiled and patted Weiss's shoulder.
"It's fine, we all make mistakes." She said
Weiss looked at Ruby and smiled a little, Aaron was grinning like an idiot on the inside
"This is nice." He said to himself
He then walked over, putting his arms around both Ruby and Weiss.
"Now that your friends, maybe you guys could make a pretty good team." Aaron said
Weiss didn't say anything and walked away, Aaron sighed.
"Man, same old Weiss." He said
"What?" Ruby asked
"She's sort of an Ice Queen but she does have a heart, wish she showed it more often." Aaron said
He felt his shoulder being patted by Ruby.
"We'll get her, one of these days at least." Ruby said
Aaron just smiled at Ruby and gave a small thumbs up.
"Yeah, we will." He said
Yang just chuckled a little along with Dani.
"Leave it to Aaron to try to make a friend." She said shrugging playfully
Yang just hummed in agreement, she then looked up in thought.
"Though what makes her an Ice Queen?" Yang asked
Aaron looked at her and put his hand on her shoulder.
"You do not want to know, believe me on that." Aaron said
Yang nodded when Aaron doesn't want to mention it. He means it, and she respects that in a weird way. Plus, that's how she found out a lot of disturbing facts and honestly, she doesn't want to deal with that.
Ozpin then walked on stage, he then cleared his throat.
"I know some of you are here for glory, others power, and some because of destiny and others are here to change it. I hope you find the right path, and go down it. That is all." Ozpin said
Ozpin then walked off the stage as Glynda walked up to the microphone and told everyone where to go, Aaron looked onward with a blank look.
"Did he reference me and that fact that I came here to prevent some stuff from happening." He said to himself
Aaron looked at the others, they just shrugged, having no idea what he meant. He then stopped caring about it and went to the area he was supposed to go, he then noticed that Weiss was nearby.
He frowned a little, he really wants to get her away from that bastard of a father.
Sadly, they can't initiate the plan yet. It would take some time but they would catch him.
That, he would make sure of.
A couple of hours later...
Aaron was now in his pajamas along with Haruko, Amber was wearing a fall colored t-shirt with brown short shorts and no shoes. Dani was doing other things in the meanwhile, not even he knew what she was doing.
He was relaxing looking at his device, he was checking on some data. Haruko was reading a book on some story about a tragic hero, and Amber was asleep with a small snot bubble on her nose.
Aaron then checked his stats, he knew that things had changed over the many years and he has checked them.
But he decided to check again since he likes to see how far he's come from when he's started this whole journey.

He had grown a lot over time, upped his strength and a bunch of other Stat's. He's grown a lot stronger, he even switches titles from time to time when it's necessary.
He even has a variety of skills that he learned, making him a pretty strong person plus the Social Links are something to not mess with in any sort of fight.
Let's just say Cardin wouldn't survive a single second with Aaron, he would be absolutely destroyed.
Unless he scaled with him but what are the chances of that?
Don't answer that.
"Haruko, I'm going to do some detective stuff." Aaron said
Haruko looked up and nodded, she looked back at her book.
'Conceal.' Aaron thought
He then disappeared from sight, he was now a ghostly looking individual. He walked off, he sat near Blake. He then revealed himself to Blake, he then tapped her shoulder.
She looked at him, Aaron waved slightly.
"Hello again Blake." Aaron said
"Yes, hello." She said
"So, how's that book about the man with two souls going?" Aaron asked
"Good... wait how do you know about it?" Blake replied/asked
"I've read it before and I can recognize it from anywhere." Aaron explained
"Oh." Blake said a bit surprised
"You should stop hiding your ears." Aaron said
Blake stiffened in shock, she then settled down.
"Yes, but you know how people are." Blake said
"All the more reason to show them off, be yourself to spite them." Aaron said
Blake nodded with a smile, a small menu popped up in front of Aaron.
|Cat's Shadow, Rank up!|
Aaron smiled at this, while Blake didn't remember him all that well. He was still glad that he sort of supported her in a way, even if he was a spy that betrayed the White Fang with no one knowing at all.
He then used Conceal again, he then left Blake and went back to his spot.
He then reappeared, Haruko ignoring him.
"I'm back." Aaron said
"Used Conceal?" Haruko asked
"Yep." Aaron said
"Never did like the ability." Haruko said, flipping a page
"Meh." Aaron said with a shrug
He then laid down and went to sleep after 'taking' off his glasses, Haruko looked at him.
She smiled slightly, she knew he slept soundly.
A couple of hours later...
Aaron was now awake, he looked around and smiled a little. He then teleported, he was back in Patch. Taiyang was nearby the coffee pot, he gave him his coffee cup that had sugar and cream in it.
He always liked it that way, he took a small sip.
"Things going well?" Taiyang asked
Aaron shrugged, he then finished his coffee. He then nodded to Taiyang as he teleported back to Beacon, leaving Taiyang alone with his coffee. He was then back in Beacon, he got dressed in his clothes and woke up Haruko.
Dani meanwhile was just leaning on a wall, already ready and watching the show.
"Haruko." Aaron said gently
Haruko did not respond, Aaron then had an idea.
"If you don't get up, all of the waffles will be gone." Aaron said
Haruko then woke up immediately and looked at Aaron with a slight glare.
"Don't you dare eat those waffles." Haruko said with a dark voice
"I won't, now to wake up Amber." Aaron said raising his hands defense
He walked over to Amber, he then put his hand on her head.
"Esuna." Aaron said
Amber then woke up immediately, she grumbled slightly.
"Really dude?" She asked
Aaron lightly shrugged, he woke up Yang and Ruby as Haruko and Amber got dressed. He was talking to Haruko about what is going to happen during the exam, Haruko was listing intently.
"And remember, refer to your scroll of Amber or I's location and that includes Dani also." Aaron said
"Got it." Haruko said
"Same applies to you Dani." Aaron said
Dani merely just gave Aaron the middle finger, they may be twins but that doesn't mean they are the same.
Aaron rolled his eyes at this, and looked over at the window.
'Wonder what mom's up to.' He thought
Aaron just looked out with crossed arms, he then noticed Ruby and Yang come out of the changing room.
He looked over, he grinned slightly.
"So you guys ready?" Aaron said
"Ready as I'll ever be." Yang said
"I don't know." Ruby said sheepishly
Aaron ignored it and got his items, he noticed a red-haired girl and Weiss was talking to her.
He then walked over, he knew exactly what to do.
"Hey Weiss." He said
"Aaron." Weiss replied with a nod
Weiss knew that Aaron was a friend, she stepped slightly over to the red-haired girl.
"I was talking to Pyrrha." She said
"Don't know who that is." Aaron said, playing dumb
"She's famous, surprised you didn't know actually." Weiss said
"Well, she might not like that fame if you think about it." Aaron said
"I kind of don't, it's overwhelming at times." Pyrrha said
Weiss looked over with shock on her face, she didn't like it?
"Wait, why have you never mentioned this to anyone?" She asked
"No one asked." Pyrrha said simply
Aaron then stuck out his hand, a grin on his face.
"Aaron Thompson, and you are?" He asked
"Pyrrha Nikos." Pyrrha said, shaking his hand
Aaron shook her hand, he then waved goodbye as he left.
He put his hand on his chin in thought as he walked.
'I know Pyrrha is going to be killed by Cinder, I must not let that happen.' Aaron thought
He then saw Jaune walk over to Weiss and Pyrrha, with Weiss getting ignored in favor of Pyrrha as Aaron knew they already met back in the auditorium. He then teleported to the cliff area, he was the first one there.
Ozpin and Glynda noticed him, Aaron waved slightly.
"Yo." He said casually
"Hello Aaron, ready for the test?" Ozpin asked
"Depends, am I from another universe and have magical powers from video games?" Aaron asked
"Yes." Glynda said begrudgingly
"Then that's your answer." Aaron said with a cheeky grin
He then looked on his gauntlet, he decided to message the group.
Messaging mode: Activated
[Crystal Hero has opened a chat]
CH: I'm at the location of where the initiation is gonna start.
RR: Did you teleport there?
CH: Yes.
SD: You know that it's a bad idea for you to teleportation too much!
TS: But he can handle it.
CH: She's right. It was a short distance, it didn't hurt at all, it's fine.
SC: But remember, Semblance can cause you pain if overused.
CH: You are right about that.
GC: You do know that it's a bad idea for you to be over-dependent on your skills right?
CH: Yes, but some of them are apart of using weapons, so it's fine.
TS: Gotta agree with my bro.
RR: Good point.
SD: Gotta agree with you on that
SC: You have a point.
GC: You are right.
CH: I am most of the time.
TS: Keyword most.
[Crystal Hero closed the chat]
Aaron then looked at his other notifications, there wasn't much going on. He's still making lots of money selling fabric and other things, he's invested a lot into business and other things.
In fact, he's the mysterious owner behind the company known as Crystal Square meaning that not only does he make money but people are kept on their toes as to who he is.
He then closed his gauntlet and waited for everyone to arrive at the location, this was going to be an interesting day.
A little bit later...
All the students that were participating had arrived, Aaron (Who was in his armor BTW) was nearby Ruby, Yang, Haruko, Dani, and Amber all on the launchpads. Jaune was already ready for this, Aaron had told him what was going to happen since he does his research on the initiation and how it works. Ozpin was nearby the cliff with a cup of coffee, as Glynda watched on.
"This is the initiation, you will be launched off the cliff and into the forest. Your objective is to head to the forest temple and grab one of the relics, and head back here. Any questions?" Ozpin said/asked
There was silence, nobody had any questions due the fact it's nearly impossible to not understand this.
Ozpin then nodded as each person was launched into the forest.
Aaron got into a stance and charged his magic while Dani just readied her Semblance, Haruko simply smiled, Amber smirked as he she gave a thumbs up, Yang put on her aviators, Ruby got her weapon ready.
They were then launched off the cliff, ready to complete this test.
-Location check: Aaron-
Aaron was, currently, falling fast with the wind shrieking in both ears.
He had used his magic before he fell meaning it's ability should be kicking in soon.
He was flying slightly over the ground, he then smirked.
"Alright, time to fly." Aaron said to himself
Aaron then flew through the forest at a fast speed, he then bumped into someone.
Aaron was on the ground rubbing his head, he then looked up to see a silver-haired man, his eyes were a dark grey, he had a white short-sleeved dress shirt with a grey overcoat on, he had white and grey camouflage cargo pants, he was wearing grey tennis shoes, he had a blueish gray hat on.
"So you're my partner, and yet you're a Faunas." The silver-haired man said
"Yes, I am." Aaron said
"I hope our partnership will go well." The silver-haired man stated
'Who is this guy?' Aaron thought to himself
He wanted to use Scan but he decided not to for the sake of being polite.
It's sometimes better that way.
"Names Arian Cordis." The silver-haired man said as he put his hand out
"Aaron Thompson." Aaron said as he grabbed his hand
He was pulled up by him, Arian noticed that his glasses were high tech along with a weird gauntlet on his left arm.
"What's with the equipment?" He asked
"I use my glasses to check the location for enemies and allies, and the gauntlet to check messages and do other stuff." Aaron explained simply
Arian nodded and looked behind him, he noticed also thanks to his tracker.
"I'm guessing that's a Grimm." Arian said, pulling out his weapon
"Yes, it is." Aaron said, pulling out his
"You got my back?" Arian asked
"Of course, we're partners." Aaron said with a grin
Arian nodded as he as propped his weapon onto his shoulder. The weapon which was an axe that could also transform into High Powered Machine Gun.
Aaron drew his weapon also as he looked at a menu that popped up in front of him.
|New Social Link!|
|Silver Hermit|
Aaron smiled a little after reading that, an Ursa then came out of the bushes.
He then sped over and launched the Ursa into the air, Arian jumped up into the air and hit the Ursa with his axe.
The Gamer then turned Vita's Pax into its gun form and aimed it at the Ursa, charging a dark red beam.
"Fira Shot!" Aaron yelled
A dark red flame came out of the gun and set the Ursa on fire, it was defeated as it began to turn into dust.
Aaron looked over at Arian who had an impressed look, Aaron nodded.
"We make a great team." He said
Arian nodded, Aaron then noticed a menu popped up in front of him.
|Social Link Rank up!|
{Assist has been unlocked for the Silver Hermit Social Link}
Aaron nodded, he then looked at Arian's weapon with a raised eyebrow.
"What's your axe called?" Aaron asked
"Silver Dusk." Arian said simply
Aaron nodded as they both walked out of the area, leaving behind the dissolving corpse of the Ursa they killed.
-Location check: Haruko-
Haruko had landed and was using her scroll to find the location of either Amber, Aaron, or Dani. She then heard a bush rustling nearby her.
She checked the scroll, it wasn't Amber or Aaron, not even Dani either. She drew her weapon and looked at the bush, she glared at it.
"I may be a Faunas but I can still kick your butt." Haruko said getting into a stance
That's when an Ursa came out, Haruko used Fons's Protector on the Ursa. She then transformed it into its sword form, she took both of the blades on it and attacked the Grimm.
She then backflipped away and focused her power, roots came out of the ground and kept the Grimm in place.
The Grimm was suddenly hit with a fireball, Haruko looked over to see Amber with a smirk.
"Took you long enough." Haruko said playfully
"Give me a break, this forest is huge." Amber replied with the same attitude
Haruko shrugged and walked away from the area with Amber.
-Location check: Dani-
Currently, Dani was just walking through the forest. Her Semblance actually allowed her to basically improve her strength and speed if she judges someone upon their intention, that's when a Beowolf jumped from a bush. Dani turned around in time and drew her weapon, it was a hammer that can also turn into a giant blade.
She called it Telluris Iudex which mean Earth's Judge in Latin, it made sense to call it that.
She hit the Grimm on the head and slashed through it's head, causing it to be decapitated.
That's when another Grimm was about to attack before someone kicked it right in the face, it was a man wearing a modern cowboy outfit (Which consisted of a small brown leather vest with a white long-sleeved dress shirt and he had a cowboy had on with a golden star on it with some black chaps with his brown boots having small holes on the bottom thus making it a gun.
"Well hey there little missy, I'm Billy Kid. Your name is?" He asked in a western accent
"Dani Thompson, nice to meet you." Dani said
The two nodded, they went off to go look for the temple.
-Location check: CA-
Aaron was currently walking with Arian, who was looking around the forest to see if anything was off. He kept an eye on his display in case there would be any more Grimm, he felt his gauntlet shake slightly.
He opened it and saw that he got a message from Amber, he smiled slightly.
[Found Haruko]
It had a picture of them taking a selfie, he rolled his eyes a little and was about to close the gauntlet.
When he got another message, this time it was Dani with some guy.
[His name is Billy Kid]
Aaron sighed, at least he knows his sister is a lesbian or else he would have to kill someone considering how much he cares about her.
He went back to check the map on the display after closing his gauntlet, he noticed that up ahead was some Aura signatures.
He tapped Arian's shoulder to which the silver-haired boy looked at the Gamer.
"Up ahead are a bunch of people, that means we've arrived." Aaron said
"Alright." Arian said
They then arrived at the Temple, Yang and Blake were walking out of the temple when they noticed the two walking over.
"Oh hey Aaron, thought you would've teleported here by now?" Yang said with a grin
"Found my teammate, and I don't think we would have to teleport a couple of feet." Aaron deadpanned
"He's got a point." Arian said
"What's his name?" Yang asked
"Arian Cordis is my name." Arian said, tipping his hat slightly
Yang gave a thumbs-up as Blake was a little wary of this guy, Aaron looked at her.
"Blake, he's a pretty good dude, he was fine with me being a Faunas." He said
Blake was a little calmer, for now. They all then heard another person, Aaron looked over. It was Haruko and Amber, they had found each other with Dani and Billy coming in a couple of seconds afterward along with two other people.
One was a girl and the other is a guy, the girl is dressed fully in steampunk like clothing which was some bronze goggles on her messy brown hair with a pair of dark brown gloves, a bronze corset with gears on it and a combat skirt with the bronze coloring being the darkest and brown being the lightest and some long bronze combat boots (Actually made of bronze btw) with her eyes were a light brown which matched the grin on her face with her weapon is a pair of crossbows that can turn into batons.
The other was dressed like from some sort of Neo-Tokyo which had a midnight blue armored bomber jacket that had dark cyan lining on it (idly reminding Aaron of computers for some odd reason) with a dark blue t-shirt under some dark cyan chainmail along with some midnight blue armored dress pants and some steel-toed dark cyan tennis shoes.
His hair was a clean and yet spiky dark blue with his eyes being a cyan color while he had more of a stoic look on his face with his weapon being a pair of knives that when put together, expand into a glaive.
"Arrived a minute after us with some more people." Aaron said
The steampunk girl looked over Aaron's equipment after walking up to him, she grinned.
"I already like this kid." She said in a British accent
The guy came over and grabbed her by the collar, he sighed.
"Sorry about my girlfriend, she's weird." He said in a light Japanese accent
"That's fine, your names?" Aaron asked
"I'm Cody Cipher, and she's-"
"Ellie Airheart, at your service." She said pointing a thumb at herself
Aaron just merely shook her hand, he smiled a little.
"I think we're gonna get along swimmingly." Aaron said
"Yep, now let's pass this test with flying colors." Yang said
Aaron rolled his eyes playfully with a smile as they then heard screaming, he looked up to see Ruby falling. He then used his magic to fly up there and caught her, he had landed with Ruby in his arms.
"Glad you dropped in Ruby." Aaron said
Yang laughed a little, as Blake smirked slightly. Haruko had a deathly Aura around her as Amber was on the ground laughing with Cody being a little annoyed with Ellie laughing and Billy just being confused while Dani chuckled near him, Arian had a slightly sheepish look.
"Really dude?" He asked
Aaron shrugged after putting Ruby down, he then noticed Haruko was nearby.
"What did I say about saying puns?" Haruko asked angrily
"That I should say more?" Aaron suggested with a shit-eating grin
Haruko was about to chase Aaron when they noticed Weiss was falling, Aaron was about to react when Arian already did which surprised the Gamer greatly at his actions.
He somehow caused blustering wind to go around him as he runs up the wall and caught Weiss in the same way the Gamer did, he then landed on the ground.
Aaron was impressed, he gave him a thumbs up.
"Cool Semblance." He said
"Yes, I can control wind and use it to my advantage and I go where it takes me." Arian said
Yang was about to say something about their situation when an orange-haired girl came riding in on an Ursa which then dies after a black-haired man with one pink strip on it after shooting it.
Aaron looked with genuine shock.
"Aww, it's broken." The orange-haired girl said with a poute
"Never do that again Nora." The black-haired man
Aaron waved slightly, while still shocked at what he just saw. He knew it happened but to see it yourself is quite strange, especially after being in Remnant long enough.
The girl now known as Nora jumped off the Ursa and ran towards him, which caused him to be caught off guard.
"What's your name, do you like pancakes, what's your weapon and what's it's name, and do you have a partner yet?" Nora asked rapid-fire
"Nora, he probably doesn't-"
"I don't mind answering her." Aaron said
Nora then backs off a little as he breathed a little, he then looked at Nora.
"My name is Aaron Thompson, yes, it's a sword that can also be a shock pistol and its name it Vita's Pax, and yes I do have partner, it's that silver-haired guy over there." Aaron said rapid fire
"Well nice to meet you Aaron Thompson, my name is Nora Valkyrie and the guy nearby me is Lie Ren." Nora said
"Nice to meet you Nora, and you too Ren." Aaron said simply
Lie Ren just waved slightly, Aaron then walked over to Haruko and stood nearby her with a casual look on his face.
"We should really get this done." He said
Haruko nodded, as Aaron, Amber, and Arian went into the temple along with Haruko and the others who had not selected their relics.
Aaron had picked up the one with a crystal on it, Haruko chose the one with a water drop, Amber chose the one with fire on it, and Arian chose the one with a heart on it.
They all then left the building right before Jaune and Pyrrha came in on a giant scorpion.
Aaron's jaw went wide open, he then shook it off.
"Jaune I thought I told you to come to the forest temple!" Aaron yelled
"We were just walking when suddenly this thing started chasing us!" Jaune yelled
"How did that happen!" Aaron yelled
"I don't know?!" Jaune yelled back
Aaron facepalmed, as he looked on with a groan.
"What's next a Nevermore?" He asked
That's when a Nevermore came down and tried to attack them, Aaron then looks down with an exasperated look on his face.
"I stand corrected." He said
He killed the giant scorpion and threw two chess pieces at Jaune and Pyrrha, they looked at them.
"Go to Nora and Ren, you'll work with them. We need to kill this Nevermore, and that's before anything else can go wrong!" Aaron yelled out
That's when a King Taijitu came crashing in, Aaron facepalmed again.
"Me and my big mouth, let's get out of here." He said
Jaune and Pyrrha then got up and ran towards the temple along with Aaron, he then put both of his hands out.
"Barrier!" Aaron yelled
A barrier was then made and stopped the King Taijitu from getting in, Aaron looked back the others.
"We need to get out of here!" He said
They then ran out the back as the barrier wore off and the King Taijitu broke in, the Nevermore flew in.
Aaron looked up, he then glared at it.
"Guys, we need to fight or else we won't see the next day." He said
Everyone else nodded, they then made an offensive on the Nevermore and King Taijitu.
Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang along with Jaune, Pyrrha, Nora, Ren, and Dani took the King Taijitu while Aaron, Haruko, Amber, and Arian, and Billy took the Nevermore with Ellie joining Dani with the Tajitu and Cody fighting against the Nevermore. After a bit, Ruby's group and Jaune's group took down the King Taijitu.
Meanwhile, Aaron's group was still trying to take down the Nevermore, Aaron was slightly panting along with the others.
"This thing is tough." Amber said
"Amen." Haruko said
"We can't stop now, this thing will kill us otherwise." Aaron said
"That's pretty obvious bro!" Dani pointed out
"Yes, but we've thrown everything we have at him." Arian said
"Yeah, I've been shooting at it for a while." Billy said
"Not everything, I've been saving this for a special time but I need to use it now." Aaron said
Aaron then got up as everyone looked at him in confusion, he took his sword and drew a star symbol. It stayed in the air, he put his hand out as he focused his magic into it.
His eyes glowed completely white as energy came off of it.
"I summon thee, the Eternal Flame, Lord of Hellfire, the Ruler Of Fire itself. IFRIT!" Aaron said
That's when Ifrit appeared, he was floating in the air with his giant sword.
He looks down at Aaron, he nods slightly.
"You have summoned me, and for that, I'm under your command." Ifrit bellowed
"Ifrit, use Firaga." Aaron said, pointing forward
Ifrit then put out his hand as a pillar of fire started to form, it rose up and burned the Grimm.
The Nevermore was still standing somehow, Ifrit disappeared soon after.
"Why won't this thing die!" Aaron yelled
Aaron then threw his sword at the Nevermore, he vanished with a blue light.
He was on the Nevermore, he climbed on to its neck.
"I hope you're hungry!" Aaron yelled
He then stabbed the Nevermore in the neck as dark flames started to appear on it, Aaron bared his teeth.
"Flare!" He yelled
The Nevermore was then blown up, Aaron then landed on the bridge with a loud thud as the Grimm screeched in pain.
He sat up and looked at the Nevermore was falling into the white below, he smirked a little.
"That was a bitch to deal with." Aaron said
Everyone ran over as Aaron got up, he was still a little wobbly.
"Hey guys." He said simply
"HOW DID YOU DO THAT!" Weiss yelled
"Do what?" Aaron asked
"You summoned a giant fire creature thing! Summoning can only be done in the Schnee family!" Weiss yelled
"Well, you're not the only one who can do it anymore." Aaron said with a smirk
He was about to walk away when he fell over, he got back up.
"Must have used more than I thought, Haruko if you will." Aaron said
Haruko then put him on her back and carried him, he did exhaust a lot of his power using Ifrit.
That's why he was saving it, he'll be able to do it later but with a lot more control.
"Thanks." He said
"No problem." Haruko said
That's when suddenly a giant creature rose up from the pit, Aaron looked on in shock.
He growled in anger as he got up, he looked at his sister.
"Do you have one of those potions I asked you to carry?" Aaron asked
Dani got out a small bottle with blue liquid inside and threw it towards Aaron, he caught it and drank it down.
His MP being fully restored, he looked at the creature.
It was a giant, his face made of darkness along with his fists.
'Scan' Aaron thought
|On it| responded a voice inside his head
Suddenly a menu appeared before Aaron, and it was shocking.
|Salem's Sword|
[LVL: 55]
Aaron couldn't tell how much health it had, that's when he summoned a card.
"Alright, you son of a bitch. I'M GONNA SHOW YOU WHAT FOR!" He yelled
He broke the card which caused flames to engulf him, Aaron was now standing proudly with a golden knight behind him.
"Lionheart!" Aaron yelled
"Ready to fight." Lionheart said
That's when Aaron summoned more cards, he broke them all with the sound of glass shattering sounding out throughout the area.
Causing a variety of people, a male monk with tan skin, a female wearing yellow dragon like armor, a female wearing a crimson cloak, a woman in chainmail armor, a cartoon looking puppet, a man with graying hair holding a staff made of wood, a giant man made of armor, a queen wearing ice like clothing, a female knight wearing ice armor, a motherly looking figure with a ghostly aura, a person who looked like Lionheart but was female and had a hammer instead, a man wearing a silver cloak hiding his face with a sort of hermit vibe by the strange items on his clothes, a Maiden with flowers in her hair and on her clothes with another similar but with leaves instead of flowers, a wizard garbed in emerald, a witch wearing white, a cat made of shadows, a queen and king with a panther like look, a woman wearing an outfit that made her look a little like a Nevermore with a man wearing a black fur coat with a crow's head as a helmet, a man in bronze armor with golden hair, a silver Valkyrie, a lion with a look of fear on his face holding a small wand, and finally a man with a green and magenta martial arts outfit on with a lotus symbol on it.
Everyone was shocked except for Haruko, Amber, and Dani to see these things all around him as he stood valiantly against a large threat.
Aaron looked like he was in pain as blue flames engulfed his arm, he was using a lot of power to this.
"Sun Monk, Dragoon Fighter, Crimson Reaper, Joan of Arc, Puppet, Geppeto, General of Iron, Ice Queen, Ice Knight, Mountain Mother, Valiant Lioness, Silver Wander, Maiden of Spring, Maiden of Fall, Wizard of Oz, Good Witch, Shadow Cat, Panther King, Panther Queen, Raven of Nevermore, Dark Crow, Achilles, Kara, Cowardly Lion, Lotus! I summon you to assist me in battle, ATTACK WHICH I'VE DEEMED A DANGER TO THIS REALM!" He yelled
Aaron ran along with all of the other Phantoms, attacking from all sides doing damage to the creature.
He jumped high into the air, nearly into space.
Pulling out his sword and aiming it downwards, falling all the way down. Landing right on the head of the creature, using what magic he had left to feed fire into it. Causing a small flame to grow in its chest, later causing to be on fire.
It slowly fell as Aaron backflipped off, falling to the ground with a thud as the Grimm bellowed loudly.
He got to a knee and looked as it slowly sunk into the ground, Aaron glaring at it.
"See you in hell." He said
Aaron got up while clutching his side as the flame died down, he looked at the others with a grin on his face.
"Killed it." He said casually
Everyone looked at him in shock, that's when Ellie finally asked the question on everyone's mind.
"What the hell was that?" She asked
Aaron's eyes darted around, he then sighed.
"Those things, they were a part of my Semblance. I'm fine, sort of, but honestly, I think I'm gonna pass out from how much I exerted myself." He said
They all walked out of the temple, Aaron on Dani's back since she decided to help him this time.
While Jaune asked some more questions despite Aaron being tired.
"It was called Ifrit?" The blonde asked confused
"Yep, I can summon others but it takes a lot out of me." Aaron said wearily
"And you can use your weapon to teleport?" Jaune asked, excitement in his voice
"Yes, it's a thing I can do. Please let me rest, I told Nora that and she respected it." Aaron said tiredly
"But all of these things you can do is something I have to know." Jaune said in wonder
"He's not entirely wrong." Weiss agreed
"Weiss, I love you and all but shut up please." Aaron said tiredly and angrily
"But you're doing things that are impossible!" Weiss said angrily
"Yet for some odd reason, I can do them." Aaron snarked
Weiss grumbled slightly, Aaron then fully passed out.
Haruko noticed and sighed a little.
"Always overdoing it." He said with a slight smile
"This isn't the first time?" Pyrrha asked confused
"And this isn't the last." Dani said
"He does this a lot when I was really sick once. He used most of his power to heal me of it, he was out for twenty hours." Haruko explained fondly
"Really?" Nora asked concerned
"Yep, it happens a lot actually." Amber said arms crossed and eyes closed
This shocked quite a few people, he's the self-sacrificing type? He certainly didn't seem like it.
This confused some on why he would even do this?
Yet they would never ask why.
"Wow, that's really strange." Billy said
"It's a thing that happens, we never really stop him." Ruby said in memory
"Last time we did, we nearly got killed. Thank the Brothers he stopped that Grimm." Yang said in thankfulness
"He stopped a Grimm?" Blake asked impressed
"Yep, it was an unknown one and he killed at seven years old, passing out afterward." Haruko explained
"You've got to tell us that story." Ellie said
"I'm sort of curious now, how did that happen?" Cody asked
"Not even I have any idea." Dani said
Every person who knew Aaron nodded, he really did do a lot. They don't even know all his business ventures and plans.
Everyone else was impressed that this guy could do that, Weiss then suddenly had a question to ask.
"How did he meet you guys?" She asked
"He met us after killing some Grimm that were about to kill us." Ruby and Yang said
"He met me after using his Semblance to find me, he knew I was in danger and protected me." Haruko said
"We met when he first came here ten years ago, we trained and lived in the same area ever since." Amber said
"I'm his twin..." Dani deadpanned
Everyone else was impressed on how this guy met them through his kind actions, Blake was happy to know that this guy really does care for both Faunas and humans.
'Wow, he seems to be pretty strong. Maybe he might defeat... him.' Blake thought
They were nearly at Beacon when Aaron's eyes suddenly opened.
He then grinned soon afterward.
[Play Ending One]
Next Time on The RPG Hunter
"So this is our room huh." Aaron said
He looked at a large and empty room with a kitchen and other features including a bedroom.
"Your gonna lose." Cardin said
Aaron got up, suddenly something appeared in his hand.
"YEAH NO!" He yelled
More info dump, sorry them's the rules
Aaron still can use abilities from other games, and yes. He can summon MULTIPLE Phantoms, you can't give someone an ability and NOT expect to have him use it for a fight.

Aaron can summon thanks to learning it, he can summon all of them but at different costs. Ifrit is an average cost, so there's that and he is a nice guy and a great leader, but he's overzealous as seen earlier in the series in the first arc.
