Chapter 1: Awakening
~Forest, outskirts~
Within the forest that lies just outside of the walls of the city there lays a single individual, they were unconscious as they were unmoving and in fact one would accidentally think they were dead. However they weren't alone as they were with a 2nd individual who lay next to them.
Ruby would speak up "OH MY GOSH that's the Emerald Forest!"
"Yang nodded "yeah it is!"
"Did you guys forget that there's currently TWO Civilians in danger?! They're out there all alone and look like they don't have any experience combat wise!" Weiss reprimanded the two sisters as she bonked their heads.
The 1st person whom was unmoving began to stir signaling life and a soft groan escaped their lips, they opened their eyes slowly as the light flooded their sight and became almost blinding that they had to blink twice.
"Look Renny he's alive!"
"I know Nora"
The 1st stranger turned out to be a teenage male as he slowly pushed himself up with some difficulty, he looked around and spotted a nearby river, he got up and began to move towards it slowly and tiredly to the point where it was more of a crawl. His eyes peered into the reflection of the water and saw what he looked liked.
He had jet black hair that was short but somewhat smoothed back, he had a long ponytail that reached below his shoulders and tied, his eyes were also black almost iris-less, his skin was a tan color with a lighter shade, he also noticed that he was a bit chunky but for the reason why he didn't know or remember, he also spotted how he was clothed was a blue shirt with short sleeves, around his shirt was a black and white vest with a couple of pockets and buttons and a folded neck collar, he looked to his arms and saw that his right arm had a ribbon colored purple and black with a checkered pattern. That wasn't the only thing that was patterned as he had black and white pants with grey that one of the legs was also checkered, his hip had a black ribbon attached to the belt as he kept seeing his reflection, he had fingerless gloves that were black with chains wrapped around the wrist and knuckles forming a makeshift chain glove. However what he noticed finally was the faded green cloak wrapped around his neck and shoulders with it going off his left side, he finally noticed that his right arm had a bracer of sorts as it reached from his elbow to his wrist where the bracer and chain meet, his eyes were covered by black rimmed glasses and he had on top of his head a red and white cabby hat. But the noticeable thing he saw was a pair of wolf ears poking out of holes in the hat.
"Quite descriptive our host is isn't he?" Yang says, after she said that the projector showed an image of their 'protagonist' and they were some mixed reviews.
"HE'S AS BIG AS AN ELEPHANT!" This came from Nora as she giggled at seeing an elephant on screen
"Nora be nice... It's too early to judge"
"Kay Renny!"
"Ugh! What on Remnant is he wearing?! It's poorly mismatched and it only serves to be ugly on him!" Weiss complained as she was sure that even Coco Adele would be disgusted with his fashion.
"Chill out Ice queen, besides I doubt that there's not many clothing that would fit him" Yang said to Weiss to slightly justify the boy's size.
Blake would then see his ears "he's a Faunus?" she was surprised that their protagonist is a Faunus, they're not often showed in stories due to discrimination.
Meanwhile with the Teachers, Peter was looking at the gauntlet on the teen's right arm and was thinking about it but kept quiet to himself.
This teenage male didn't respond, in fact he was exhausted and starving to even register anything, at least until he spotted the 2nd person who was laying next to him.
The other individual was a young female, she had pale yet glistening skin and she was covered by a cloak as well that had a hood over her head, she had white hair too, her clothes however were... Questionable as they were reminiscent of a robe but her chest area had some rips and tears on it revealing some of her cleavage, it also didn't help that she had no pants and no shoes.
Yang smiled "OH HO! This gal's got some impressive melons on her as well" she would say as she saw that this woman's breasts were equally or perhaps even larger than her own but that isn't to say she isn't gonna lose to the competition.
"UGH! WHY IS SHE BARELY WEARING ANY CLOTHES?!"
"Oh uh..." Jaune and Ren would blush at seeing the woman's decently sized assets and tried to avert, but Nora would see this look on Ren's face and become jealous.
"OH HELL NO HE'S MY MAN!"
"Nora!"
The teenage male would try and boost himself up to get some help but this hunger he has is becoming difficult to ignore, he tried to walk forward but he stumbled and was now on his hands and knees, he soon started to let out pained expressions as images flashed in his mind.
A woman looking down at him.
A stranger handing him something.
After those images his eyes began to turn red as he let out an feral like growl and there was a black like veins going up his face almost like a disease, his teeth sharpened and small spike like objects slowly started to grow on the side of his head.
"WHOA!" came from the Students as they had seen what transpired with their protagonist, some with theories of their own and some became worried.
"I-Is his semblance acting up?!" squeaked Ruby with worry as she saw that the boy suddenly looked ill and couldn't help but think that maybe his aura hasn't fully healed and may have been poisoned.
"T-There's been rumors of Semblances backfiring when a huntsman tries to use it but is this what happens?" asked Blake as she's read some stories and even heard rumors that some semblances backfire even when Aura is unlocked.
However a voice spoke calming him down "it's okay" whoever they were they came from behind him and slowly brought a mask to his mouth and placed it, for some reason that seemed to calm down the teenage male as he seemed to become more tame. He turned around and saw that it was the female who was unconscious, she gave him a soft smile and he saw her bright yellow eyes that were attracting.
For a while the two individuals just stared at each other, until they were interrupted by a sound, the sounds of growling and groaning.
Their eyes turned to the source and saw many creatures, there was those that had pitch black skin/fur with white bone like masks and spikes protruding out of their bodies and resembled animals such as wolves, bears, boars, birds and even a couple of scorpions.
At seeing them everyone became worried.
"It's the Grimm!"
"They have no chance! They're surrounded!"
"I-I'm sure a Huntsman team is nearby!"
However the other group of creatures were more... Human like in appearance, they had ash/black like skin and were standing on their legs, they were lean however and almost looked malnourished with some sporting mask and a couple of bone mask, almost all of them though had black spikes protruding out the sides of their heads, they had eyes that were a menacing crimson similar to what the male had earlier but these looked like they completely lost any form of sanity.
Seeing these new enemies made them curious but also cautious.
"Astonishing they resemble human and yet their skin and behavior is similar to that of Grimm... Experimentation gone wrong?" spoke the ever excited Dr. Oobleck as he saw and examined the new beings next to the Grimm.
"As interesting as your examinations and hypothesis are Bart I'm afraid that whoever or whatever these creatures are the Grimm are not outright attacking... In fact it's as if the Grimm are... Tame..." said Peter Port as he saw that while indeed the monstrosities of Grimm are hostile they don't seem to be hostile to the Human looking one's and are in fact not attacking outright.
Ozpin and Glynda spoke privately and whispered while their colleagues were too busy focused on the screen.
"Do you think She made new Grimm?"
"It's quite possibly but something tells me that this is part of that World Merge our host spoke about... So it's entirely possible that these could be new forms of Grimm..."
To the duo the human looking one's looked more of an actual threat, for they carried weapons ranging from knives to swords, axes to even a bayonet gun.
The woman with the hood over her pulled out a LARGE Halberd, in fact it was larger than her and almost looked liked it belonged to a giant but she wielded it easily, the boy looked down to see if he had any weapons and only saw a broken sword handle.
Ruby was brought out of her worried state and immediately squealed at seeing weapons on screen and couldn't help but see them, her teammates and friends however weren't as excited as she was.
"Holy Crap! Look at her Halberd, it's longer and harder than even Magnhild!"
Ren sighed as he spoke to his partner "Nora... Please don't say that again"
Yang whistled "daamn... She's holding it like a pro, and he has a little stub! I guess you can say that he's... 'Stubby' down there too..."
Everyone groaned at the pun.
"We must escape... Follow me" spoke the girl in a monotone voice as she grabbed the boy's hand and they both headed towards one direction while howls and growls could be heard behind them in the distance.
Not long after that the two of them were suddenly ambushed when two new creatures jumped from the bushes and pouncing on them, these two new beasts were similar to wolves or dogs as they were on all fours but their skin was... Pink almost like there was no pigment and just a pink color, and there was something protruding behind their necks, it would go up the body before stopping at the shoulders and it had a faint purple like glow.
"Okay that is NOT normal!" spoke Jaune as he saw the Hound like creature and notice just how different it was, it wasn't even a normal animal too and it even had something black poking out like those humanoid creatures.
Blake seeing the hound with the added description and appearance she quickly hid behind Yang's mane from the canine's.
"Jaune's right you guy's, those aren't normal dogs" said Ren as he saw them appear and noticed just how... Deformed they were.
Dr. Oobleck couldn't help but begin to ask random questions and his theories going into even more detail that his fellow professors had to stop him from going crazy.
The woman with the black hooded cloak around her swung her Halberd and quickly dispatched of the two hounds with ease, cleaving through them like butter on a knife and not long after their bodies slowly began to dissipate almost like turning to ashes.
"So they can die like the Grimm?! They leave nothing behind if you kill them?!" shouted Pyrrha as she had seen this woman easily cleave through these two beasts and saw them turn to ash and leave nothing behind.
This got many of them to think, maybe these are indeed new Grimm and if that was the case then they'd have to be EXTRA careful.
The two continued with their sprint not looking back and only avoiding large groups of enemies.
~Beacon Academy, Ozpin's office~
From his room in the tower of Clocks Ozymandias or simply 'Ozpin' by most was looking through his scroll, the school year was about to begin in a month and he had to arrange everything.
"Hey Headmaster! It's you!" said Ruby with some form of excitement
"Yes Ms. Rose I can tell... Curious" he would then sip his mug as he noticed something... Off about himself in this new world.
As he was looking his eyes caught sight of two young individuals running through the forest with the animal and humanoid creatures following them, he turned to Glynda "Glynda get Peter we're going out"
Hearing her superior basically request her to get prepared "trouble sir?" he would simply nod before he got up and grabbed his cane and put down his mug, he then grabbed a jacket before placing it over his shoulders and walking out with a determined look.
The group were surprised to see Ozpin himself get serious about it, even the man himself looked on with shocked at seeing how active he is.
"The Headmaster is going to save them personally?" asked Weiss with a shocked expression, the man she knew tended to not show any seriousness and rather leave cryptic messages but to see him become this serious and is in fact going to rescue the two people personally was really off putting.
Ozpin himself noticed that this version of him is more... Younger looking, in fact he had a lot of energy than what he has now and is more active.
Blake noticed something different "Headmaster Ozpin... You don't happen to have a jacket like that do you?"
He shook his head giving the Belladonna an answer.
~Emerald Forest, outskirts~
The two strangers were running but they had to stop, not to rest but because they were surrounded again, this time it seems as if the enemy appeared stronger as a faint red glow was seen on the attackers and they seem to be even more aggressive than before.
"These guys just can't catch a break can they?"
"Jeez you would almost think that one of them has Uncle Qrow's semblance"
Glynda heard but couldn't help but notice that while indeed the two individuals on screen were surrounded, but something about these new 'Grimm' seemed off to her.
One of the hounds launched themselves at the girl but she managed to get out of the way by rolling, but she was soon clawed at by the one's who have no weapons and only their fingers which were razor sharp, she winced in pain but she quickly used her Halberd to dispose of the threats and even slamming her weapon down cutting one of them in two.
The male however wasn't faring as well, he would be attacked and he dodged whenever one of them would try and land a hit but because he was so distracted he would be slashed in the back by another enemy, one of the black and white boned wolves then pounced on him and began to claw at his chest, however it would be quickly cleaved in two by a stray Halberd swing.
The two were outnumbered and outgunned as the one's with rifles began firing at the two, they both just barely dodged out of the way only to have both of them be attacked by a few of the sword wielding humanoid creatures.
There was a loud roar before the girl was suddenly blown towards the cliffside knocking her unconscious and dropping her weapon.
The teams and teachers were becoming worried as the two on screen became overwhelmed by the seemingly large numbers of Grimm, however it was that loud roar that made everyone's blood run cold.
"I-Is that roar what I think it is?"
"Nononononono NO!" Ruby began to panic as she's heard these things back when she was curious about Grimm back at Signal.
Blake became too fearful and hid herself even more.
Ren gritted his teeth as he saw that the obese male was alone, surrounded and bleeding profusely, having a Grimm like that would surely end his life as he seemed unable to defend himself.
Yang's eyes went red as she wanted to go in there and punch the Grimm, but she couldn't do anything about it as that boy is all alone now and may die before their eyes.
The one that caused a loud roar was a huge creature that shared the same black fur and white bones and red eyes as the animals, it resembled that of a gorilla as there was a red vein on it's left arm showing what appears to be blood like substance, a black smokey like aura surrounded it as it roared with unbelievable rage.
[BERINGEL]
The fat male began to shake in fear from the large monster that had knocked his companion unconscious and leaving him defenseless, he didn't know why this was happening but he knew that whatever he did, no matter what, he was going to die.
At this point the students were shouting at him to run away.
"RUN! RUN NOW!"
"GET AWAY!"
"QUICK GET AWAY!"
"DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID!"
"RUN YOU IDIOT!"
There was a small opening and if he chose to go now he would be free and he would be safe, that is if he just full blown run away. But as his mind was thinking about actually running away and living to see another day his eyes turned towards the woman whom he had woken up with and have been with for not even a full day, was he really going to risk that?
Some of them kept egging him on to leave.
"FORGET ABOUT HER AND JUST RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!" shouted Blake as she had been taken by complete fear.
"JUST WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF AND DON'T LET YOUR MANLY PRIDE TAKE OVER!" screamed Yang as she didn't want to see anyone die.
"GET TO SAFETY! AND PANCAKES!"
"Are you gonna save her?" a womanly voice spoke out that he heard, being curious he would look around to see where it originated from but saw that time had frozen or at least had stopped to a crawl.
The voice spoke out again "Are you really going to risk saving someone you just met?" she asked with a hint of curiosity as in a faint flash of light a woman appeared before him.
She had tan skin and her eyes were that of ruby red, however her hair was white like his companion but longer and reaching past her shoulders, on top of her head was what looked like to be fox ears, she wore what seemed to be like a grey colored hospital gown held by black straps, her forearm and hands were covered by white gloves, she had no shoes but she wore black leg stockings as she looked at him.
Those who saw her couldn't help but be awed at her appearance, she looked older than the students yet younger than the teachers, she had a gentle and sweet voice.
Ozpin and Glynda however looked at her and eyes widened, they couldn't believe that she looks so much like HER.
Seeing this woman appear out of thing air he would tense up and be prepared to take action, but she would simply hold her hand up "Do not be alarmed, I mean you no harm" she would say as she lowered her arm and slowly approached him.
She spoke again "I'm going to ask you two things... First is do you remember your name?"
He nodded as he did remember his name and for the first time since he woke up he spoke "My name is... AJ... I don't remember much except for that..."
After hearing that the assembled cast would then be shocked yet again.
"He has amnesia?!" this came from the most vocal of all is Weiss.
"That's good... Second is... Are you going to let that woman who saved you and been with you die?" after saying that it caused AJ to think about it, technically he should be doing it if it mean he could save his own hide and live another day. But there was something in the back of his mind telling him that... He should stay by her side until the end...
"Let me ask you another question... Do you want to protect and save people?" after that question AJ would feel a... Surge of sorts as he stared at her, he looked down at his hands and body and normally would think that he's unfit for such a thing... But his gut told him to answer and so he did.
"Yes... I want to... Protect people... To help them... To save them..." he clenched his fast tightly and hard enough to draw blood and held it in front of him "I'll even give my own life to defend those who cannot help themselves... It is the duty of the strong to protect the weak... Even if I am to die a thousand times... I..." as he said with each word a new surge would well up inside of him.
"Will."
"Protect them" he stared at her, fear that was once in his eyes was replaced with determination and a strong will... In fact it was as if there was a roaring inferno blazing inside of him and it was ready to be released.
She smiled at him softly before speaking "that is good... Then I have one simple request... Please Revenant... Protect... Humanity... Save the world" she would say before she would hug him and disappear in a light engulfing the two of them.
After that there would be so many questions.
Who was that woman?
What did she mean by protect humanity and saving the world?
Why did she call him a Revenant?
When AJ blinked time seemed to be slowly resuming as the once frozen beings started to become more and more faster indicating that whatever happened the effect is dissipating.
In no time he would quickly spot the white haired girl's Halberd and rolled over to it as he grabbed the handle before his eyes darted to his left, behind him many of the dark creatures growled and some were about to charge him. Without any warning the teenage male would swing the halberd to the right cleaving 6 of the dark colored and red eyed beasts in half.
He looked at them and his own eyes glowed red as well, but unlike his opponents the wolf boy's own eyes weren't filled with just anger or hate but rather the desire to protect. He balled his fists before putting them outward and opening them up, what followed next was one of the wolf like monsters suddenly began to burn as flames surrounded it and it howled in pain.
AJ then brought up his weapon and gently rubbed his free hand on the side as it gave a faint glow and some sparks of electricity of red variety, he then charged towards the crowd of threats but this time he had no fear nor was he worried, because he would protect this girl until they were safe.
Meanwhile the assembled cast would be stunned at the sudden change in mood and attitude by AJ.
"OH MY GOSH DID YOU SEE THAT WEISS?! HE USED FIRE!" Ruby squealed with excitement as she had never seen dust used that way.
"I-It must be his Semblance, yeah that's it! It has to be his semblance that allowed him to do it!" the Schnee company heiress said trying to think of a logical explanation, it wasn't hard to infused dust into weaponry considering that everyone's weapons and other miscellaneous relied on the material.
Yang felt herself be pumped "hey maybe I can copy that! After all I am the one who 'lights' up parties"
A lot of groans were heard.
For Ozpin however his eyes were looking at the screen intently, on the outside he looks as if nothing was wrong but on the inside is a completely different story 'HE CAN USE MAGIC?!'
Nora meanwhile was pestering her teammates "Oooh! Look Renny there's red lightning, I wonder if it's any different from normal lightning"
"Please Nora calm down... It's still too early to decide whether or not he survives this"
Jaune just chuckled nervously at his ecstatic teammate's antics.
However both Pyrrha and Blake looked at the screen with narrowed eyes, they saw the carnage that the protagonist made but there was something that bothered them, that one word.
Peter however laughed heartily "HO HO! It seems we indeed are watching a future huntsman if he is able to fight despite the odds stacked against him.
Oobleck meanwhile was too busy taking notes on the effects and the 'Semblance' of a potential student.
The teen heard a huge roar and saw the new arrival began to charge him with reckless abandon and with the intent of murdering him, it would smack its fellows out of the way while its rage blinded it and was only intent on murdering the poor male. It raised a fist and attempted to punch the poor young man into oblivion, victory is within its grasp.
But suddenly boy just smiled as without warning the Beringel RECOILED in pain as red electricity coursed through it's body as if it was causing pain, it couldn't move as if it was frozen. AJ however smiled as he pulled back his arm and lifted it up, the gauntlet soon transformed in a large black with red vein like claw with very sharp talons for fingers, however his mouth and nose were soon covered by black wraps almost encasing before dissipating to show his mask had changed to be reminiscent of an Ogre mouth, his eyes glowed a bright red.
He then thrusted his enlarged claw into the larger Grimm's abdomen to the point where he buried INSIDE of him and there was a nasty sound of splattering blood as the Beringel soon fell backwards and land onto the ground hard, it crushed some of it's allies under it's weight and it slowly dissipated.
Silence...
That's what was amongst the crowd.
Almost everyone of them had their jaws hanging open, some with disbelief and others out of sheer awe.
"HOLY SHIT!" was the first to snap out of their daze was Yang.
"I-I-Impossible... I-It h-ha-has to be some t-trick..." Mumbled Weiss as she tried to comprehend what had happened but the actions of the screen had broken her logical mind.
Blake however saw his eyes... The way they were... Almost like HIS... That blood-lust was unmistakable, she was shaken after seeing the eyes that her instincts were now instead of cheering she was to run away from the boy on screen.
Ruby was having many things, one of which is a Weapasm (Weapon Orgasm), the second which is pure shock and disbelief, thirdly is excitement as she had saw something that could only be described as fairy tales become reality.
Team JNPR were no different as they couldn't believe that AJ had managed to take on and kill a Beringel himself.
Nora then started to cheer "AAWWW HELL YEAH!"
Ren was stunned.
Jaune was baffled that he couldn't speak and only stuttered.
Pyrrha's own logical thinking was shut off.
The Teachers themselves also couldn't believe what they had just saw, a boy who seemed to be a simple civilian at first managed to kill a BERINGEL with only one counter-strike.
Peter was stunned and felt a sudden hint of pride well up in him.
Oobleck was immediately brought out and quickly managed to write notes on the boy's apparent abilities.
Glynda couldn't comprehend as even the most Veteran of Hunters had difficulty taking down a Beringel yet this boy ONE-SHOT said creature with a simple counter.
Ozpin was just frozen in shock, disbelief.
After dealing with the Beringel AJ turned to the crowd of enemies and saw that the wolves and animal creatures began to turn and flee but the humanoid one's stayed, seemingly unaffected by the loss of their ally.
He then brought his hand forward before a Red like shield appeared before him and disappeared for a brief second as the threats immediately charged and attacked swinging and slashing. He quickly dodged out of the way and even managed to counter attack by cleaving through the attackers, occasionally he would use his right arm to block and counter with his enlarged claw like hand.
However he was knocked back a few feet away by one of the hounds that had jumped on him and began to bite into his being, he would try and get rid of the beast but another humanoid would come and slash at him repeatedly damaging him. AJ would be panting as he had felt exhaustion take over him, he hasn't been able to get enough rest and it didn't help that he used most of whatever energy he had left to run, all the fighting right now is due to adrenaline to live and to protect the knocked out girl.
The teen lay on the ground tired and there was a human like creature above him about to plunge his blade into his heart, if he was going to die then he was going to get the last words "go to hell" was all he said as he now had lost any kind of adrenaline and was now at the mercy of the monster's blade.
"Is this how it's gonna end? With him dying before he even gets a chance to experience life?" mumbled Pyrrha as she didn't want to see the death of someone and is saddened to hear that he probably won't be able to keep his own promise.
Ren was quiet as he gave a silent prayer for the young man so that he may pass on peacefully into the afterlife.
Nora was still bubbly as ever "C'mon guys don't be such downers! Someone will save them!"
Ruby Rose would agree with the ginger as she pumped her fist into the air.
Even Jaune, despite seeing the odds stacked against him, is willing to bet on hope that AJ will survive.
The others however are skeptical and are willing to accept the fate of AJ.
But the attack wouldn't connect as the sound of something blunt connecting with flesh and bones breaking was heard, as well as the sounds of gun blasts.
"It seems we're late to the Party old friend!" boasted a voice that was elderly but had some hint of enthusiasm and upbeat personality. Another voice answered back, this one much more calmer and even "we can party later Peter, for now we need to get these two to safety"
AJ didn't know who they were but he was glad, if it meant that the girl was safe and protected then he felt his job was done and now he can rest without having to worry, ironically that she protected him at the start but in the end it was him who protected her. The young male closed his eyes and let the exhaustion kick in, feeling starvation and thirst overwhelm him but tired to even complain about it.
Those who held onto hope cheered with gusto, their intuition was right and AJ and the girl were both saved!
~En route to Beacon, Bullhead~
Inside of the Bullhead that was headed back to Beacon, Headmaster Ozpin and his friend Peter Port were on board with two unconscious individual's, a boy and girl.
"It's a good thing we've arrived at the last second, wished we could have arrived earlier though" spoke Peter with a bit of seriousness in his tone as he stared at the two sleeping figures on the seats of the aircraft, they had saw the weapons of the defeated humanoids and was somewhat impressed.
Ozpin nodded as he stared at the two "indeed my friend..." he then looked at his companion with his brown eyes and black mask around his mouth, his jacket flowing with the wind over his shoulders.
The two older men looked out of their seats to see Beacon Academy, it's lights lighting up along the city giving the view some splendor.
Yang whistled at the sight and couldn't help but appreciate the awe and beautiful sight of the city lighting up the night sky.
"It's beautiful... Not even Atlas has a view like this" muttered Weiss as she was enamored by the sight.
Everyone else agreed with the two members of RWBY.
But then the screen started to fritz.
"Whoa what's happening to the screen?" asked Ruby as she saw the screen become somewhat distorted.
However she would get the answer when the distortion matched in sync with the sounds of beating before music started to play.
The screen changed to show AJ being stabbed through and falling backwards into a ravine, the camera pans to show a silhouetted figured holding a sword with AJ's red blood on the tip.
The scene then brightened up a bit before showing the backside of a woman with a purple skirt held by straps and wearing knee socks and black boots, it also showed her exposed backside indicating she was wearing a corset of sorts, her hair was yellow and into twintails before the woman puts a jacket over her and walks out the door.
(YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!)
The woman was walking through Beacon's courtyard wearing the black jacket and has a hat on top of her, her closed eyes open to reveal turquoise color. She is then joined by two other individuals which were male.
One of them places a cape over his shoulder and has red eyes, black hair that covers his right eye and wearing a suit of some kind.
The other male was taller than the others and placed a jacket over his shoulders, he has a black shirt and red hair, a scar can be seen from the tip of his nose across his right cheek.
The scene then changes to show AJ standing off in the distance, he was with teams JNPR and RWBY as they stared off into the distance.
AJ turned around to look at three weapons are standing in place, a Sword, a Greatsword and a Bayonet rifle. All three are picked up by the girl and two boys.
AJ, three strangers, JNPR and RWBY are seen staring out into the City of Vale with the wind blowing against them all and the title card shows.
[CODE REMNANT]
(Do you want something better? Do you want something more? A life goes on, we can run this town together)
Screen shows AJ falling into the Ravine disintegrating into nothing but a red gem remains.
The blonde woman is seen walking through the ruins of Mt Glenn with a young child seemingly playing ahead of her.
It shows a woman in the distance facing off against what seems to be teams of Huntsman and Atlas soldiers, spears of light emerge from behind her and attack the assembled group killing them off.
(Now is the time for battle, now is the time for war!)
Next scene shows Ruby and Roman clashing with their respective weapons.
It reveal an older man's back addressing an assembled army showing Atlas troops, Huntsman and volunteers, they all are cheering.
(We all love to hate, nobody needs a reason to)
In a hospital of sorts it shows a young woman, the camera shows it's the same woman from AJ's 'vision' but she's crying and seems to be in pain, her eyes become lifeless and dull.
Ren is crying as he stands in a bright area, camera pans away to reveal the ruins of Kuroyuri as he screams into the night sky whilst the ruins is in flames.
(Yeah! Do you wanna go?/Yeah! Down under below?/Yeah!)
Next shows two individuals, a man and woman.
The man is shown pushing something inside of the woman's chest, as streams of light emitting from the object being pushed inside of the woman are blocking his face.
The woman is shown to be gasping as if in pain, her head turns to the camera to show she has silver eyes.
(Come on and let me take you to the Underworld!)
In a clearing in the Emerald Forest there stands the woman whom AJ woke up next to, she turns and stares at the camera before extending a hand out smiling.
(Yeah! Do you wanna see?/Yeah! Our reality?/Yeah!)
Beacon is shown to be surrounded by a thick black mist covering the sky and enshrouding the city in darkness.
Surrounded by a large number of Grimm and humanoids the camera turns rapidly to show 9 of the 12 in a spinning motion.
Blake, Ren and black haired stranger are shown first.
Yang, Nora and red haired stranger are shown after.
Weiss, Pyrrha and blonde stranger are last, the woman turns to her left as a black mist forms around her mouth and dissipates revealing a black mask with tubes, her eyes become glowing red.
(Come on and let me take you to the Underworld!)
Behind the blonde woman a stinger of metal sprouts out from her coat and aims menacingly at the surrounding threats, Pyrrha and Weiss stand next to her weapons at the ready.
Blake and Ren are vaulting and maneuvering around the Grimm whilst the black haired stranger charges forward with his right arm transforming into a black claw with red lines and a mask covers his mouth as his eyes glow red.
(Don't be afraid I'll show you the Underworld, we can be together in the Underworld!)
Yang fires shotgun rounds in the distance, Nora is smashing the bones and skulls of enemies, the red haired stranger skids to a halt before heaving his greatsword over his shoulders, his jacket's sleeves suddenly moved on their own and transformed into hounds made of metal and red veins but no eyes, they rush towards the camera chomping down on it.
On a bridge the woman's stinger plunges itself into a Beowulf's stomach before pulling back, the woman's eyes glow red in the dark as she stares at the camera with menace.
(You and me, I'll take you to the Underworld! Tell me you're ready to go!/Yeah!)
On the planet's surface a large crack can be seen, camera pans along the cracks as they glow a vibrant golden color.
Next is shown Ruby charging towards a stranger with his back turned in a church like setting.
Jaune and AJ are following behind.
The stranger turns to show they were male and have a white jacket over their shoulder, they have white hair and his eyes are silver, his face is scarred.
AJ is behind Ruby and charges forward with his left hand glowing a red color before extending it outward.
Jaune, AJ and Ruby are staring forward after an explosion blows away the ground and rubble.
The silver eyed man is seen perfectly fine and stabs his weapon forward past Ruby and Jaune to AJ.
Time slows as AJ and the silver eyed man stare at each other with their weapons, AJ's mask is seen to fly off and his cheek is cut, instead of red blood AJ's blood is blue.
Next scene shows the red gem falling into the ravine glow as what had been disintegrated started to reform, resurrecting AJ back from the dead.
(Come on and let me take you to the Underworld!)
White like vines are shown in an underground cave as light shines through a gap, slowly the vines extend upward into the sunlight.
AJ's eyes are closed before opening to show them glowing blue, screen cuts back to vines sprouting red like seeds, screen repeatedly switches between AJ's eye color changing from black, blue and red.
Lastly the camera shows the hooded woman sitting in front of a white tree with red like seeds hanging off them before slowly vanishing into thin air.
The crowd was silent, there was no noise nor could they comprehend what they just saw.
However a certain pink bomber would be the first to break that silence.
"OH MY GOD REN! DID YOU SEE THAT?! YOU WERE LIKE ON A TV SHOW!"
Ren nodded numbly as he could only try and comprehend what he had saw.
Ruby also was brought out of her stupor "OH MY GOSH DID YOU GUYS SEE THAT?!" she then started to ramble off about the weapons and how awesome they all looked.
One by one everyone slowly returning to normal with excitement.
The Teachers were still somewhat shocked but they were discussing the change of this world Merge.
"Ho ho! It seems that AJ is not only our young and strange student but 3 others as well!"
"Astonishing to see a Tree that looks dead but produces seeds from the tips! It's extremely remarkable!"
Everyone was interrupted by the voice of their host.
"I'm glad you all enjoyed that, I added an 'opening' to it because it felt right..." FantasyRider would arrive wearing the same outfit when they met him and saw how exhausted he looked.
Not long after many questions were thrown to him, specifically from Oobleck, Ruby, Weiss, Glynda and Jaune.
The host just responded "I won't tell ya too much but I will say is that you'll learn more the further this story goes. Also I'm going to bring in more guests..." he said as his body glowed with navy blue like aura before he snapped his fingers.
In a flash of light there would be a new group of individuals, some surprising and some outright shocking.
"TEAM CRDL?!" were the students reaction at seeing the Bully team be summoned here.
"Mom, Dad?!" Blake couldn't believe that her parents were here, Kali saw Blake and immediately hugged her "my kitten!"
"Dad?!" came from Yang and Ruby as they saw their father arrived "GIRLS!" he went and hugged them both.
"UNCLE QROW!" shouted Ruby with excitement as she went and immediately hugged her favorite uncle, the man himself just smiled before responding "how ya doing pipsqueak?" he then rubbed her head.
James Ironwood looked around "where am I?"
Rider would answer "you're in my domain... But It's too much of an effort to even talk more, I'm already exhausted from recording and documenting AND I still used my powers to bring them... So have fun explaining shit..." he would say before he walked to a room and locking it.
Everyone who hasn't been informed were then asked a question.
Ozpin spoke "do you believe in Multiverse theory?"
WOOOO FIRST CHAPTER DONE!
Technically this is the 2nd chapter but story-wise it's the 1st one.
SUBJECT TIME!
Subject 1: Would you believe me if I said I almost finished this chapter in one go? I worked on it last night and was almost done but I became tired and went to sleep.
Subject 2: As you can see I've swapped some characters with others. (Ren replacing Louie, Roman and Ruby replacing Yakumo and Mia in the opening)
Subject 3: Yes I know Cruz doesn't have animal ears, but don't tell me you didn't think her hair were ears as well.
Subject 4: Yes I made Jack and Eva have silver eyes, I'll be honest I've seen their eyes and accidentally mistook them for silver.
Subject 5: I know that the game won't let you change the character's weight but I mean there's Lost who are MASSIVE in size and weight and they fucking hit hard! And considering the Lost are former Revenants wouldn't it make sense?
Subject 6: Yes I did that with Ozpin... I felt like he may have been more open if he met those who were similar, hence why he's not like canon.
Subject 7: Expect some MAJOR changes to lore in RWBY and Code Vein respectively, this IS a crossover/world merge so things are gonna be different.
Until next time this is FantasyRider35 signing off.
