Hello guys, gals, and nonbinary pals!

Drako: You stole that from Thomas Sanders.

Gamer44D: Oh come on! This isn't even your fic!

Drako: But I am your character. I can go wherever I want.

Gamer44D: Whatever. I'm just glad it's only you.

Nathan: You sure about that?

Gamer44D: Damn it!

Winter: So you're continuing this story of yours?

Gamer44D: Of course I am, why wouldn't I?

Winter: I just thought you'd be stretching yourself too thin. With your other story and now that you're adding Red Vs. Blue into the mix, this story would become to far fetched.

Gamer44D: I'm not mixing RVB into this! I'm just adding in one or two or…(does some quick counting on his hand) all of the characters.

Nathan: So just the parts of RVB that makes it RVB.

Gamer44D: ...Yes.

Nathan: So why not just make this a RVB/RWBY crossover?

Gamer44D: For one thing, I've only put in one character for now, others will only come in much later. Second of all, they're mostly just plot devices to move the plot or add some conflict. You and Winter are the main stars. And lastly, there are already so many of those, I like to challenge myself with stories that are really out there, that not many people would think of.

Drako: Um…

Gamer44D: Quiet you. We've wasted enough time.

If I owned Naughty Dog, Nathan would have been more involved in the last game.

Nathan: I wasn't in Lost Legacy?

Gamer44D: I don't know, I typically avoid anything that has to with that game. It could have spoilers for Uncharted 4!

And if I owned Rooster Teeth, I'd make our website less absolutely horrible. I refreshed the screen 27 times just to see the new episode of Nomad of Nowhere!

"So what exactly are we supposed to be looking for, again?" Sully called out from across the gorge.

"Something that looks fake, a plastic rock, a metal tree. Anything that could be a secret entrance," Nathan replied. "That's usually how these things work."

"How about that big metal rock sticking out the side of the cliff?" Sully called out.

"What?" Nathan asked as he jogged over to Sully.

Sully pointed up the mountain. There was a shimmering sheet of metal embedded in the ice and snow.

Nate smiled, "Good eye, Sully," He patted his mentor on the back.

"Don't thank me yet," Sully mumbled, eyeing the steep cliffside. "First we gotta figure out how to get up there."

Nathan looked at the cliffside and he had to admit, it was far too steep to climb on his own. Also it was ice, ice tends to be hard to climb straight up. But Nate noticed a ridge sticking out next to the panel. "Hey," he pointed to the ledges. "If I can find my way up there, I should be able to reach it."

"How convenient," Huffed Sully. "Except we still have the same problem. How are you supposed to reach the ledge so you can reach the the metal panel?"

"I'll think of something," Nate said, eying a particular pine tree. But something was itching at the back of his head though. He turned around to the open woods but nothing was there. "Hey, Sully," Nate asked. "You ever feel like you're being watched?"

Sully sighed, wishing he had a cigar. "You start feeling that way after being on the run for so long, more often than not it's just your head playing tricks on ya."

Nathan relented as he turned back to the tree.

Nate began his climb using the many branches as footholds and handles. Once he reached the top he surveyed his surroundings, to his back was the ridge.

"Be careful up there, kid," Sully called from down below.

"Relax, Sully, I'll be fine," Nate called out. "Probably," He muttered.

Nathan braced himself as he steadied his feet. "Here we go…" he whispered, then he leaped from the tree to the mountain wall. His fingers barely latched on to the ridge to stop himself from falling. "Whew…" He breathed out as he adjusted his grip. "See? Told ya I'd be fine," He yelled to his companion down below.

"Heh," Sully chuckled. "You sure you're not some sort of monkey faunus, kid?"

"I'm pretty sure I'd know if I had a secret monkey tail," Nathan replied as he shuffled his hands along the ledge towards the mysterious metal plate. He was almost there when "Crap," Nate hissed the last piece of the ledge crumbled when he put his hand on it. Fortunately, Nathan was still holding on to a more stable part of the ledge.

"You okay, kid?" Sully called out to his companion.

"I'm fine," Nathan shouted. "Looks like I'll have to find another way, though."

Nathan observed his surroundings. There was a dent in the mountainside above him but he couldn't reach it. However, Nathan came prepared. With one hand holding onto the ledge, he pulled out his pistol, on top of the barrel was a single spike. Nate pressed a button on the handle and the spike flipped up 90 degrees so it was sticking out.

Switching his grip to a reverse grip, he stuck the spike into the ice above him. Once he made sure it was firmly in there, he used the new hand hold to pull himself up to the ledge. "There we go," he muttered to himself as he switched his gun back to normal and put it back in its holster.

Nathan was now leaping from ledge to ledge, making his way the the panel until "Finally," Nate breathed out as he found himself right next to the panel.

"Let's see here," Nate muttered as he found a small latch at the top of the panel. He clicked it open and the sheet fell open to reveal five horizontal cylinders, with different symbols on them, attached to the panel. Nate touched the one on the far left and found that he could turn them. He turned the cylinder until it revealed a new symbol.

"It's some kind of mechanism," Nate yelled down to Sully. "I think I'm supposed to find some sort of pattern."

"Do have any idea what that pattern could be?" Sully called back.

"No," Nate replied. "See if there are any clues on the map."

Sully reached into his jacket and pulled out the file. His eyes scanned the piece of paper they had 'borrowed' but couldn't find any sort of clues except the big X and a small word written in the upper right corner. "The word 'Alpha' is written on the edge," Sully yelled up. "That mean anything?"

"Maybe," Nate replied. He turned his head back to the puzzle. Those symbols… they were letters! Matayan letters to be precise. No one spoke it since it belonged to a dead race, but luckily Nathan had picked up a few words here and there.

The treasure hunter reached to the first cylinder and turned it to the Matayan letter for 'A'. After that, he was able to adjust all the cylinders until they made one word. 'Alpha'

Once the last letter clicked into place. Nate felt the mountainside rumble. "I think that did something!" He yelled.

The ice below Nate began to break and crumble apart. More and more pieces of the mountainside fell apart to reveal a stone mural.

"Holy shit," Sully breathed out. It was nearly 60 feet tall!

"What is it?" Nate yelled down from his perch.

"It's uh…" Sully took a moment to find the words. The stone mural depicted what looked like a snowflake at the bottom leading into a bizarre series of twists and turns eventually coming up to a castle-like structure. "It looks like a map for a maze or something," He yelled.

"Really?" Nathan yelled. "Take a picture of it with your scroll, I'll try to find a way back down."

"Sure," Sully agreed and then pulled out the small rectangular device. "Stupid thing," He muttered under his breath as he tried to get it to camera mode. He never could figure out these new fangled devices Atlas keeps pumping out. Eventually, he was able to get the camera function up and running, he aimed it at the mural and snapped a picture. "Got it!"

"Great!" Nate yelled as he turned his head to look down at his mentor and smiled, but something wasn't right. Nathan swore he saw something move.

The treasure hunter squinted his eyes at the snow covered ground. There were… footprints? Even from his current height, Nate was able to tell these footprints were big enough for an ursa's! He tracked the prints and saw more being made by seemingly nothing. Nate stared intensely at where the footprints were and his eyes picked up a shimmer of a large creature, and it was right behind Sully!

"Sully, watch out!" Nate didn't think in that second. He just leapt off the side of the cliff and let gravity take its course.

Sully didn't need to think twice as he leaped forward just as he felt the wind of a slash and heard the cry of a blade.

Sully ducked, tumbled, and turned himself around to face the assailant. All he saw was the shimmering figure of a behemoth holding a curved blade.

The invisible adversary began to march forward to finish the job, when Nate miraculously fell right where it was.

Using gravity to his advantage, Nathan threw his fist where he assumed the head was. Good news: He hit the nail right on the head. Bad news:

"OH GOD! I think I broke it!" Nate seethed as he held his left hand after he crashed into the snow.

The creature stood back up, the punch barely making it stagger. The shimmering disappeared as the assailant turned off it's camouflage. Now that the partners in crime could see their enemy, it was revealed to be a 7-foot tall monster of a man. It's large build was covered in white plated armor stained with dust and blood. Its head was covered by a helmet that seemed to be made of orange-tinted glass concealing its face. In its hands was a high-tech looking grenade launcher with a thick curved blade attached. It's annoyance was clear as it gave a deep growl.

"Dear God," Sully choked out. "What the Hell is that thing?!"

"I don't know!" Nate yelled as he unstrapped his machine gun. He pointed it at the monster man and unloaded a hail of bullets.

A bubble seemingly made of hexagons of energy suddenly appeared and enclosed itself around the hulking figure, the bullets harmlessly bouncing off it.

"Damn it," Nate swore. The bubble disappeared as the giant charged Nate. "Crap!" Nate quickly switched to machete mode to deflect the bladed end of the grenade launcher.

The armored figure continued its onslaught as it slashed at Nathan again and again. Nathan blocked and parried as best he could, it was slower than Winter, but WOW was it stronger! Nathan felt his arm go a bit numb with each block, their blades creating sparks. "A little help would be great!" He yelled to Sully.

Sully responded by taking out his lucky revolver. The con-man shot three rounds into the man's armored back.

It was little more than an annoyance to the giant man as he brushed the bullets off. It abandoned it's blade strategy as its arm shot out and grabbed Nate's throat.

Nathan choked as he was unable to get air into his lungs. The behemoth lifted him up by the neck as Nate's feet dangled off the ground. The monster then decided Nate wasn't worth its time and casually threw him off to the side.

The creature turned its chrome plated head over to Sully and readied its grenade launcher. "Oh shit," Sully swore.

The creature fired three consecutive shots, perhaps payback for Sully's bullets. Sully dived to the right to avoid getting blown to smithereens. The blue orbs crashed against the stone mural completely destroying it, but the destruction didn't stop as cracks started to travel up the cliffside.

"OH SHIT!" yelled Sully as the snow-covered rocks began to fall. Sully ran right past the giant and over to Nate. "Come on, kid!" He yelled as he hoisted Nate up by the arm. "AVALANCHE!"

Nathan quickly shook off his dizziness as his survival instincts kicked in and he broke into a sprint.

What was previously the biggest danger in the canyon just stood there as the ice and snow covered him.

The two criminals ran like Hell until they reached the jeep. "Get us out of here, kid!" Sully yelled as he hopped the door directly into the passenger seat.

"Hold on!" Nathan warned as he kicked the vehicle into reverse. They sped backwards until Nathan swerved around and switched to drive. They raced form the canyon as it was filled with snow.

Once they made it out with their lives, Nate chuckled. "That wasn't so bad."

Sully just gave Nate a deadpan look. Nate shrugged. "You got the picture?"

Sully held up his scroll. "Right here, kid."

"Great," Nate smirked. "We need to memorize it, and then delete it."

"I don't know," Sully shook his head. "My mind's not what it used to be…"

"No sweat," Nate waved off. "My mind's as sharp as ever." Nate's smirk disappeared as he turned back to where they came from. "What was that thing, Sully?"

"I have no god damn idea," Sully sighed. "But I sure as Hell hope we never see it again…"

(Line Break)

Gamer44D: I originally was gonna keep this chapter longer but by this point, I was a bit burnt out.

Nathan: Did you figure out what my semblance is?

Gamer44D: Not yet, someone suggested that your semblance should just be good luck and while that is possible since Qrow's semblance is bad luck, it would both make sense and not make sense.

Nathan: What do you mean?

Gamer44D: I mean it could be considered lucky when you survive a collapsing bridge, but if you were truly lucky, the bridge would have never collapsed in the first place.

Nathan: Huh.

Winter: Where was I this chapter?

Gamer44D: You were in the part that I scrapped. But don't worry, that'll be part of the next chapter. Until then, read and review!
