Badgerprince034: Thanks for the rate!

Guest 1: Yes Shaxx is basically the Taiyang of this fic. Qualities: Sure, he's a loving father of two children. Appearances, nope! He's gonna be just as he always is. A man with a helmet that has one horn.

It's my pleasure to do this fic and merge these massive universes. Yes, there will be challenges, but that makes me want to do it all the more! Whether Ace is alive or not, hehe...You'll have to read to find out... Trust me tho, I won't go crazy.

Just mildly insane.

Guest 2:

I'm guessing you don't play Destiny, so I'll tell you. It's a material you can get while playing one of the expansions in the game.

Aura & Semblance existing: Yes and no. I've kinda merged Semblances and the Supers of Destiny 1 & 2 together so that there isn't any confusion. Semblances will be there but as sub-classes of their main classes such as Voidwalkers, Gunslingers etc. Aura, of course, exists as pretty much the shielding that you have in-game.

Maidens: No.

Relics: Yes, slightly. They'll be different but similar to what you know.

Deity Brothers: Yes. A gave a hint from the curse of Ozpin. they are more than just gods of Remnant but The Light and Darkness exclusively. They just never created Humanity this time.

Every sword still a gun: Again, yes and no. Not everyone in this fic will have a transforming weapon.

Glad you like it. I tried to make the first interaction light and fluffy.

Anyways back to the story! Enjoy!


It was the end of the School day at Signal Academy. Well, it would have been if it wasn't for this Ceremony.

"Stupid Ceremony of Leavers, why can't the Headteacher hurry up and get to my Sister already?" Rubes growled, bored of hearing the headteacher drone on and on about honouring those who would be going on to achieving the Rank of Huntsmen and Huntresses. Ruby's teacher quietly hushed at her.

"Now we will be introducing Lord Shaxx and the Vanguards to give out the Certificates to the Pupils of this year."

Every student in the hall began whispering immediately after hearing that, while Ruby couldn't help but give a smug grin. She already knew all of them.

Lord Shaxx and three more people came onstage. A bald light blue man; an Awoken known as Zavala, a bald dark-skinned woman; known as Ikora Rey & finally an Exo known as Cayde-6.

"Hello, Guardians in training. You all know me as Lord Shaxx, the Crucible Handler. Today I will be presenting the Certificates to those who have passed through this Academy and will be going on to even greater heights."

Ruby was too busy waving at him to listen to what he had to say. Shaxx gave a small wave back to her.

"First in line..."

Ruby drowned out Shaxx's voice as she opened a weathered book. It was a treasure of Shaxx and he had had the book for as long as she could remember. It was called Macbeth and she was gonna read it. If Shaxx could remember all these stories, so would she. Her teacher tried many times to signal to her; trying to get the girl to pay attention to the Ceremony.

Ruby simply couldn't care less. She was already on Act 3 anyway.

"Next we have the pride of my life, Yang Xiao Long."

Yang walked across the stage as elegantly as a swan dancing on a glimmering lake. She didn't really need to do anything fancy; as someone who was pretty much the centre of the School's attention, all eyes focused on her naturally. Ruby had perked up by now, but couldn't help but roll her eyes at the way in which everyone looked at her sister.

She was sure that Shaxx was rolling his eyes behind his mask too. Yang was clearly enjoying herself too much.

"Well done, my little sunflower," Shaxx said, away from the microphone so that others couldn't hear him. Yang quickly turned red when she heard her old nickname.

She took her certificate and bear-hugged Shaxx. He patted her head until she finally let go, shook hands with the Vanguard and left the stage. The Ceremony continued...

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

"Well done, Sis!" Ruby congratulated, allowing herself to be hugged like a teddy bear by the Older Sister. Yang let go quickly after hearing her sister wheeze.

They were currently leaving the School building. Many parents had come to collect their Children after the Ceremony had ended and were leaving for the Weekend Break.

"Thanks, Ruby!" Yang said back, then took her Sister's hand. "Let's go look for dad."

"I'm actually right here." A voice said from behind them. They turned around to see Shaxx standing there.

"Hi, dad!" Ruby greeted, earning herself a spot on His shoulders. He almost buckled under the weight of sudden pressure, but he quickly found his footing.

"Ruby. I thought I told you to TELL me when you want to play with the Horn."

"Sorry, dad! Forgot..." Ruby giggled, holding onto the one horn left and the stub of where the other horn used to be.

"No matter. Let's go. We've got shopping to do."

Shaxx begins marching forward; his strides showing nothing but pride. Yang follows behind, tapping away at her mobile device; more commonly known as a Scroll. She suddenly perks up.

"You promised me a gift, dad! My fully made weapon; that I designed! Not another prototype from Hakke or Omolon!"

"I know. That's part of the reason we're going shopping. I asked a friend to make especially for you."

"Wait, WHAT?!"

Ruby could tell her father was smirking beneath the mask. He was always full of surprises.

"Yours too, Ruby. I gave my friend the written work and he said he'll figure it out."

Ruby squealed in delight and squeezed Shaxx's head in excitement.

"Thankyouthankyouthankyou!"

"You're welcome, both of you. Now please stop crushing my skull, Ruby, or I won't be alive long enough to get your weapons."

"Oh please, Sable would just revive you."

"It's better not to abuse the power of ghosts, Rubes."

Ruby obliged to let go but squealed again which made Shaxx chuckle. They eventually reached their destination, a small hut in a market. Going through the tent entrance (Ruby eventually got off Shaxx's head) They made their way over to an Exo cleaning rifles behind a desk.

"Hello, old friend," Shaxx said, getting the attention of the Exo. It sighed audibly before putting away the rifle and beginning to attend to them.

"Hey, Shaxx. Kids. What do you want?" The Exo said; his voice gruff, deep. If he was human, Yang might've been purring for that voice.

"The weapons, Banshee. You promised-"

"Yeah, yeah, I know," The Exo replied, turning again and heading deeper into his hut. He opened a crate, didn't seem to find what he was looking for and then found another. Looking in it, he nodded, picked up the crate and headed back to Shaxx, hefting the crate onto the table.

"That's the one. I'll get the other when you've told me-"

He was cut off as Yang grabbed the crate, flipped open the lid and was presented with the glorious weapon she had desired. She almost screamed but instead opted for opening and closing her mouth.

"THANK YOU SO MUCH!" She exclaimed, grabbing Banshee-44 and pulling him into a hug. He was confused at first but eventually patted her back. She eventually let go, looking over her precious weapon. Ruby went over to admire it too.

"It's, err, nothing much." He replied, still sceptical about the whole hugging thing. Making a noise akin to clearing his throat, he went back for another box. He shook his head, went to another box. He kept checking boxes but was still coming up short. Eventually, he went back to Shaxx.

"Sorry, Shaxx seems the second shipment hasn't arrived. I'll go check on why. Bastards are probably having another strike or something."

Shaxx sighed, not angry at his friend, but slightly dismayed because of how let-down he knew Ruby would feel. Her temper tantrums were a force to be reckoned with. He turned to see Ruby looking at him; her eyes looking around for her own weapon.

"So, dad? Where's mine?" She asked eagerly.

Seeing the smile on her face pained Shaxx physically and he grimaced behind his mask. This was going to be hard.

"Ruby..." He bent down to her height. "I'm sorry, my Rose, but... It isn't here yet."

Ruby gave a dumbfounded look; almost as if she hadn't heard what he said. Yang on the other hand, froze; shocked and expecting Ruby to burst in rage.

"Not here yet?"

"Yes. I'm sorry my dear, but the shipment hasn't arrived yet and I don't know why. I swear upon the Traveller's Light, I'll-"

"That's fine, dad."

Ruby turned back to inspect Yang's weapon some more. Yang happily gave them to her; so as to not accidentally push Ruby's switch to self-destruct.

"Are you sure, Ruby?"

Ruby turned back to him with a smile.

"Of course, dad! I'm a big girl now. I can handle it."

Shaxx was... well, surprised. Genuinely so. Ruby had begun showing more maturity, but he wasn't expecting this at all.

"Well then..." Shaxx groaned, getting back up. "I guess it's time for us to go."

"Can we go to the Crucible?!" Yang almost begged, grabbing Shaxx's hand.

"Ae you sure? It's getting pretty late-"

"Weekend dad."

"Oh, right." He paused, thought for a few seconds then shrugged. "Okay, since you're so eager."

"You gonna need some Dust then?" Banshee-44 spoke up, giving them a small crate of Dust synthesis. "Ill give you this, on the house. Since you're an old customer and all."

Ruby and Shaxx grinned. Shaxx grinned knowing that the Exo was just trying to be nice in his own way. Ruby grinned because she was beginning to see an opportunity here. When she got her weapon, would she also get a free crate of Synthesis?

"Thank you, Banshee-44," Shaxx replied, taking the Exo's hand to shake. Banshee-44 nodded back in return as he shook.

"It's a pleasure, Shaxx."

"How much do I owe you again?"

"Don't remember. Mindwipe."

Shaxx laughed, a few Glimmer being transmatted onto the table. Banshee quickly gathered it up; placing it into a crate.

"That should be enough. Goodbye friend."

"See ya."

With that, the trio left the hut; Yang having left behind her crate as she took her treasured possession. A few seconds after they had left, Banshee suddenly remembered how much Shaxx had owned him. Checking the crate of Glimmer, he realized that it was too much. Well, not like he was complaining. The more, the merrier, right?

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

They arrived at the Crucible Arena eventually; having picked up something to eat along the way. Shaxx had spent more money feeding Ruby than he had spent on Yang's weapon, but he didn't mind. After all, they were his precious daughters; whom he knew he couldn't live without.

"Can I go now, dad?! CanICanICanI-" Yang pleaded, wanting to join the next fireteam. They had been preparing for it since he had left and a RedJack (one of Shaxx's drones) had temporarily taken over for him.

"Go already."

Yang ran off at top speed; waving over at her team, the other team were immediately concerned and began arguing with their opposers.

"That's not fair, you guys can't have her! The match will be too unequal!" A female Awoken from Team Alpha stated, grabbing one of Yang's arms.

"What do you mean?! We have fewer people than you, dumbass!" A male Exo replied; a small dent in the right of his forehead. He grabbed Yang's other arm.

Yang meanwhile, now had a growing tick on her head as she got more and more annoyed. As they began to pull her from side-to-side, she finally snapped.

"Let. Go!" Fire burst around her as the two people quickly obeyed. The fire dissipated just as fast as it had appeared. "I'm going to be joining the fire team with fewer players. Simple as. Rules are rules, after all."

Shaxx nodded at his daughter; accepting the decision she had made. He spoke up after the teams had settled down once more.

"We'll be heading over to the Cosmodrome. Coordinates 62,57,45. Let's go."

The two teams quickly nodded; entering the transmat areas and entering their ships, flying off. Shaxx entered his own, his daughters following in.

"Nice save, sis," Ruby commented, taking a sip of her milk carton as she jumped into a seat and strapped in. Shaxx meanwhile was inputting the coordinates.

"Thanks, Rubes," Yang yawned back, taking a couple stretches.

"So what are you going to call your weapon?"

"Ember Celica. I've been thinking of naming it since."

"Sooo... Heavenly Flame?" Shaxx interjected.

"Yep!"

"Nice!" Ruby said, giving a hand to fist to her sister. Yang immediately met it with her own.

"We're her Yang. Get ready to drop." Shaxx interrupted once more, slowing the ship as they got closer to the surface. Yang opened the side doors to get out.

"Why not just transmat out like a normal person?" Ruby groaned at Yang, who was grinning wildly. Shaxx kept the ship steady as he could.

"Because this is so much..." Yang started, jumping out after seeing the transmat area. "COOLER!"

She landed with an explosion of Solar energy; making her entrance even cooler in front of her team. She quickly placed down their banner as the other transmatted in.

"That's mah girl." Shaxx huffed "Showing them who's boss."

Shaxx began turning back the ship to a tower; where Shaxx would commentate from. There was no way that Shaxx wouldn't commentate his own daughter's battle. This was going to be her 50th Mayhem Clash Victory. It was pretty much guaranteed from the moment she had joined the match.

"Give them Hell, Guardians." Shaxx began, as the teams began moving out of the respawn zone to begin the kill.

"Let's party!" Yang shouted, her gauntlets opening and covering her forearms. She shot off a few rounds, blasting herself into the air, leaping above her adversaries. They fired first as she fell towards them. Most missed; their aiming off, while a few hits took some of her Aura. Arc energy pulsed around her as she grinned. The enemy guessed too late; trying to run from her.

"Heh. You're crushing them. Send them home crying."

The three enemies dissolved as she hit the floor hard to shake the enter Arena. A simple Ground-Pound, yet so effective against multiple people who couldn't even begin to try and predict her unpredictability. She ran forward and slid to a stop behind a rock to cover from a sniper firing at her. Picking out a pebble, she threw it out to distract the sniper; working out the area upon which the sniper was shooting. Knowing that they would need to reload by now, she scampered out, firing suppressive shots to the sniper at the area.

Eventually, she lured the Hunter out; now equipped with a Hand Cannon. As the Hunter shot, so did Yang, the bullets from each gun firing and exploding. Yang burst through the smoke with a roar like a captured animal; shooting two shots to break their aura and a final punch filled with Solar energy to burn them to ash.

4 Kills. No deaths.

"Wipe. Them. Out."

Yang's grin turned ferocious as heard Shaxx's voice. Hearing more gunfire, she quickly began running to the sound of it.

Shaxx could only smile as his daughter continued to completely dominate the opposing side. Ruby was cheering on her sister beside him.

9 kills. No deaths.

Yang was known as the Queen of the Crucible; a title she had successfully stolen after trumping Ikora's 25 match-winning streak. She had been born and raised in the fire of the Crucible, recreated into a complete killing machine that had never heard of the word 'Mercy'. Shaxx knew Yang loved it here; he could call it her second home. She was still waiting on someone who would be strong enough to try and take her on. Usually those who did would get completely decimated by her. Brave or foolish; Shaxx couldn't decide.

However, Yang wasn't without her faults. The problem with her was the way she fought; like a rabid animal without strategy. Simple enough traps could easily get her taken out and more elaborate traps could lead her straight out of bounds.

Like now.

12 Kills. 1 Death.

Ruby slumped to her knees as she exaggerated her Sister's death; even though she would be revived in a few seconds. Shaxx could also see the slight itch in her hands. The itch to hold a weapon.

"You want to join in, Rubes?" Shaxx asked, as Ruby immediately hid her hands behind her back and turned away with a blush. She knew that he always looked at her hands to tell if she was trying to stop the itch.

"Umm..." she replied, then sighed, "Yes."

Shaxx grunted, heading away from the many screens over to an armoury. He made a noise that sounded like he saw something he liked and took the weapon out to inspect it. Humming he took a cloth in the armoury and cleaned it; the weapon shining once more in his hands. Ruby loved watching Shaxx clean the rifles; she thought it was the most wonderful thing she had ever seen.

"Here you go." He said, handing her the weapon. she gasped as she began inspecting it all over; screaming all it's details.

"OMGOMG, it's the Widow's Bite, with a deeper ammo reserve due to its rapid-fire frame, a magazine optimised for recoil control-"

"Just go already, you gun nut."

Ruby stuck out her tongue to Shaxx in defiance and transmatted from the Tower onto the respawn area; the teams once again uneven but at the same time even.

Ruby immediately went into hiding, her hand cannon ready for anyone unfortunate to meet her. As she settled down, she switched weapons and immediately began gaining kills, all head-shots so far. the enemy didn't know what had hit them; literally. Suddenly they were dropping like flies.

"Look at them fall!"

"Ruby smirked slightly. She aimed again; tongue sticking out as she concentrated.

Another Headshot.

3 Kills. No deaths.

"Your spirit is unrivaled. Show me more!"

Ruby squirmed as she heard Shaxx praise her, almost unable to contain her excitement.

Ruby Rose; also known as the Black Rose; was one with her sniper. Any sniper actually. She currently held the second amount of kills ever recorded with a sniper in the Crucible and was ranked 10th outside the crucible. It was almost impossible to guess her hiding spot; unless you kept getting killed by her. Then, you could tell where she was simply by knowing the area in which you were dying. Her weakness was the fact that the was what people would call a camper. She was too comfortable to sit still in one position and completely stay there until the Inevitable happened.

Like now. The male Exo from before was creeping up to her. Coming close enough, he fired a few rounds at Ruby; breaking her Aura with the oversized rounds, killing her as she panicked to switch weapons. Ruby respawned a few seconds later; with an obvious chip on her shoulder. Shaxx couldn't help but see how cute she looked with an angry pout. He decided to cheer her up.

"Fight forever Guardian!"

Hearing those words, Ruby was spurred on, quickly getting into position once more and getting payback on her killer. Shaxx sighed as he sat in his armchair, continuing to commentate on the match.

And boy, it was a match to remember.
