~Another chapter finished, not much to say this time just a big thank you to everyone posting reviews and such. reading your guys ideas can lead to me having ideas for the future of this series (just so ya know) and to CrackPairingLover for all the work he does helping me out.~
Remnant: Beacon Academy
The sound of the idea engine beeping woke Ragna up. He rubbed his eyes staring at the dark room they were given by Ozpin, Kagura was soundly snoring away in the bed next to his. "Gah Kokonoe... you realize the time right?" He whispered into his arm trying not to wake his ally
"Yes and that is precisely why I'm calling, unlike you guys who get to sleep, I haven't!" Kokonoe barked
"E-EH AH WHA!" Kagura burst out flailing his arms as he shout "Gah... Kokonoe?" He grumbled his bangs wildly covered his face lifting up as he talked "What's going on?"
"I've been thinking, if you guys swapped places with someone." Kokonoe started "Then Terumi must've as well."
Ragna stared at his Idea Engine "So why was this so damn important you needed to wake us up." He growled
"Think about it!" Kokonoe ordered "Wait.. Nevermind it's my job to think and it's your guys job to smack things, people, buildings etcetera with large swords." her tone oozed with sarcasm
"H-Hey!" Kagura said hurt
"Look all I'm saying is if you see Terumi be careful, extremely careful. When we pulled him with Jubei's eye and the Muchorin it was from his Dark War time."
The two men exchanged glances before looking at the Idea Engine once more
"From the silence I can gather that you two idiots don't know what that means." Kokonoe sighed angrily "Basically he is at full force right now, but he does have a drawback."
"Alright what is it." Kagura asked
"He is still connected with Hazama which means they need to focus their attention to one body during a fight." Kokonoe paused letting her words sink in
"Alright" Kagura grinned, nodding his head approvingly "I still have no clue what you mean." A loud thud could be heard as what could only be Kokonoe smashing her head against her desk.
"Why do I even bother with you two." She groaned
"Kokonoe don't drag me in with Kagura's stupidity, I understood it quite clearly" Ragna stated before looking to Kagura who mouthed fuck you, before flopping back into bed. Sighing Ragna whispered into the Idea Engine "Basically if Terumi wants to fight full force Hazama will be vulnerable right?"
"Bingo!" Kokonoe cheered "When you return, you get a prize. Another right answer would've been Terumi will be vulnerable if Hazama wants to fight at full force."
"So end of the day, avoid fighting Terumi unless you guys can fight Hazama then we can take them both down in one go?"
"That's a solid idea Ragna glad you could think of it yourself." Kokonoe mocked "Have a nice sleep boys call me when you find Noel." She said quickly before the Idea Engine clicked off
"Fucking bitch." Ragna grumbled before falling back into his bed "Hit the sack, Kagura we got a lot of explaining to do."
Ozpin sipped at his coffee while waiting for his new guests to arrive "Glynda?" He said to the woman beside him she adjusted her glasses before turning to him
"Yes?" she responded curtly
"What do you think about those two?"
"I don't know yet, they seem trustworthy but until we see the children in the flesh..." She trailed off before noticing Ozpin's small smile "Why are you so happy? They could be in danger!"
"Oh come now Glynda, they are here in order to be huntresses, if they were scared of danger they wouldn't have showed up now would they?" Ozpin reminded her before taking another sip "As for Ragna and Kagura, they may look dangerous but you can easily see the good in them."
"I'll take your word for it." Glynda said before turning to the sound of an open door "Ah they've arrived." Kagura was the first to enter, upon seeing Glynda he immediately rushed to her side.
"And who might you be young lady?" Kagura said attempting to hold the teachers hand. A loud crack was heard and as a riding crop connected with Kagura's outstretched hand "Gah!" Kagura shouted yanking his hand back
"Please do not just randomly touch strangers, especially women, Mister Mutsuki." Glynda said tilting her head with a small smile. Kagura backed up upon noticing the atmosphere around the huntress
"My bad ma'am, won't happen again ma'am." He repeated in an apologetic tone
"Jeezus christ Kagura." Ragna sighed "Can you take anything seriously, Hey Ozpin who is the woman?" Turning to the Professor
"That would be Glynda Goodwitch a teacher here." Ozpin smiled "Now that you are both here, how about we get the hard part out of the way." He moved to press what seemed like an intercom before stopping at the sound of voices coming from outside his door "Guess I won't need to do that."
"It's been a whole freaking day!" They heard a young girl's voice shout "I need to know!"
"Yang please hold on a moment you can't just barge into his of-" A male voice pleaded before the door burst open, a very angry blonde hair girl stood in front while four more people, one being Ren, a blond hair boy who seemed to be the one trying to calm the girl, a orange haired girl who was bouncing beside Ren and a calm and collected red haired girl. "fice.." The blond boy sighed "I'm really sorry about this Professor Ozpin." Ozpin just smiled
"Think nothing of it, I was just about to call you five here anyhow." He motioned for them to sit in chairs, Ren dragged the orange haired girl with him planting her in the seat
"Stay Nora." He said
"But Ren! New people!" Nora responded attempting to bounce around again while she pointed at Ragna and Kagura. The blond girl turned to where Nora's finger pointed before resting her crimson eyes on Ragna
"You!" She shouted balling her hands into fists as she stomped up to him, Ragna thought it would be better to not say anything and just let it play out. From her perspective he was a kidnapper. She took a swing at Ragna before stopping as Ozpin had somehow made his way between the two
"Miss Xaio Long please relax." Ozpin asked giving her a small smile "I'll explain most of it right now."
"He took Ruby and Weiss and Blake!" She shouted
"No he didn't." Ozpin said he motioned to the older men "This is Kagura Mutsuki and Ragna... I'm sorry Ragna you never gave your full name."
Ragna scratched his head "Well, I don't actually have a last name." Ozpin raised an eyebrow to this
"surely everyone has a surname my boy."
"Ragna maybe we should just tell him everything." Kagura admitted Ozpin nodded to this statement
"That would be nice it's best to be completely open with everyone here." Ozpin said before waiting for Ragna and Kagura to explain
"Well you see Terumi the man we mentioned previously is a part of a coup that usurped the throne in our government from it's rightful heir." Kagura started "My master Homura Tenjo. So we are currently starting our own rebellion. We being Kokonoe, myself and my subordinates."
"As for myself Terumi burned the church I was raised in killing the sister who took care of me in the process. On top of that he kidnapped my younger sister Saya and brainwashed my younger brother Jin who cut off my arm leaving me with this." Ragna said raising his Azure Grimoire "I then took up the name Ragna the Bloodedge and began destroying NOL branches as I looked for Terumi." Ozpin merely nodded at all the current info sipping from his mug all the while
"So you're a wanted criminal, and the other is the leader of a rebellion." putting his mug down he patted Ragna on the shoulder "My boy it seems you've been through a lot, frankly past matters or not what matters to me right now is that you are willing to help me. Wether this is good or bad has yet to be seen."
Kagura stretched "Well that went rather well."
"You can't really believe all this!" Yang shouted "It's crazy!"
Ozpin sighed "Miss Xaio Long, Ragna and Kagura mean no harm. Let me introduce you both to everyone else." first he pointed at the young blond boy "That would be Jaune Arc, Team JNPR's leader. Then the young rocket bouncing in place is Miss Nora Valkyrie." He said chuckling at Nora's behavior "Her childhood friend is Lie Ren, whom you've already met Kagura."
"Yo!" Kagura gave a short wave to Ren who nodded back.
"Ren! How do you know him!" Yang asked explosively
"Professor Ozpin asked me to find him and bring him here." He shrugged "Honestly Yang you should really just hear the Professor out. I'm positive he wouldn't be this calm if Ruby and the others were actually in danger." Yang startled by the sudden response opened and closed he mouth trying to form a word before sitting back down.
"Lastly is Miss Pyrrha Nikos, and that concludes introductions." Ozpin returning to his seat waited for someone to react.
"Alright fine we all know each other's names but that still doesn't explain where Ruby is!" Yang returning to where she left off
"Would you like to talk to Blake?" Ozpin asked nonchalantly
"Also Blake is missing and Weiss and, and... wait" Yang stopped mid rant "did you say talk to Blake?" Ozpin nodded with a small smile on his face "Wait! I can!" She said before raising an eyebrow "What do you mean by talk to?"
"Exactly that." Ozpin nodding to Ragna "If you would."
"Sure Ozpin." Ragna lifted up his arm and brought it near Yang "Hey Kokonoe." Yang stared at Ragna still wary of his every move.
"Yea Ragna, have you found Noel?" Kokonoe asked causing Yang to jump back
"A voice! From his arm!" Yang and Team JNPR shouted jumping out of their seats.
"Oh yea completely forgot to mention, this is called the Idea Engine" Ragna pointed to the smaller device on his black arm "It, for some odd reason let's me communicate with Kokonoe when in close proximity to Dust. Kokonoe is a scientist Kagura and I work with." Ragna explained
"Alright Ragna I'm going to assume more than just Ozpin are in on the situation?" Kokonoe asked
"Blake's teammate and friends, I've also informed them about the Rebellion and my criminal record." Ragna added
"Oh big boy, you record is nothing on mine." Kokonoe mocked "anyhow I guess we should let Blake talk as to ease their worries?"
"That would be the case." Ragna said before waiting a couple minutes as a younger female voice came from his arm.
"So what exactly do I say?" Blake asked sheepishly
"Blake!" Yang cried grabbing Ragna's arm much to his dismay "Is that really you? Are you okay? Did they hurt you?!" the questions shot out of her like gun.
"Yang relax, I'm fine really?" Blake said chuckling "In fact, I have a large selection of books." she exclaimed "So I'm doing fine, Hibiki and Kokonoe are looking for Weiss and Ruby as we speak."
"then you're okay?" Yang asked her partner
"Yes everything is fine and the whole different dimension, time travel stuff while crazy makes sense." Blake added "There are no Grimm here, no dust, no Lien, everything we have that makes our society run isn't here."
"Woah, for real?" Yang asked stunned
"Yes, since you now know that I am fine surely you can calm down and listen to Professor Ozpin?" Blake asked
"Ok, ok... Guess I'll talk to you later then?" Yang sighed as she walked away from Ragna, before feeling a hand slightly pull her back.
"You can always ask me if you want to talk to her at any time Yang." Ragna said giving her a small, but sincere smile
"REALLY!" Yang beamed before going to back to glaring at Ragna "You can't go back on that offer you know, and I'm still not sure if I should trust you."
"Yea, yea I understand." Ragna shrugged "I'm not asking you to trust me, not at least until your sister is safe."
"Well we can both agree on that then?" Yang said keeping an eye on him
"Well I guess we can say that was a success?" Ragna asked turning to Ozpin
"Not quite yet." Ozpin replied shaking his head "What do you all think of this?" He motioned slightly to Team JNPR before taking his usual seat.
Jaune sheepishly picked at his cheek "Well I mean Blake is fine and from the sounds of it Ruby and Weiss aren't in any serious danger." Jaune turned to his team which all gave nods in agreement "We're fine with whatever is going on too."
"Perfect, now Kagura, Ragna?" Ozpin said in between sips of his coffee "How would you both like to work here as Professors? You would get a weekly pay and place to stay with food." The two men exchanged expressions with each other.
"We really have nowhere else to go, so we'll gladly take up the offer." Kagura said with Ragna nodding behind him "But what exactly are we going to teach? I've never been really good at this."
"You two seem like smart men, as long as it contributes to the students it can be whatever." Ozpin reassured. "Now then classes should begin soon. Ragna why don't you take control first?" Ragna nodded
"Got it sir..." He paused "Hey I'm still not sure where to go?" Ozpin raised an eyebrow "Yes I suppose I'll have Miss Xaio Long and Glynda here escort you to the training hall where your class will be taking place."
"I guess I could, I need to blow off some steam anyways." Yang said still glaring at Ragna before her face was filled with black hair and purple eyes
"I could use some exercise." Kagura said "You can blow off all that steam on me."
Ragna sighed before yanking him away from Yang "That could sound so wrong Kagura."
"No I like his idea." Yang said in an unusually calm tone "Yea, let's have ourselves a little sparing match." She lead the way as Kagura and Team JNPR followed. Ragna sighed before following them.
"Ragna hold on." Ozpin called to him right before his office door shut. "What do you think about this whole sparring match."
"What should I think?" Ragna said rubbing his forehead "Kagura is going to lose."
"What makes you think that?" Ozpin asked with a small grin on his face
"He doesn't understand what kind of a school this is, not to mention Yang is a girl so that immediately means he's going to go easier then usual."
Ozpin nodded after Ragna gave his opinion "And you know what this school is about?" He asked
"Well it's a school training kids to fight off that Grimm menace you talked about, isn't it?" Ragna said quizzically
"Well that is one reason but, the main point of this school is to train them to defend Remnant, and I guess your world as well." Ozpin explained
Ragna shook his head slightly "Exclude that last part Ozpin, We appreciate you helping us and all but I'd rather not drag kids into this fight."
"That's nice Ragna but I think it's to late for that." Ozpin said with a more serious look on his face "Big things are going to happen soon. I can feel it." Ragna merely nodded before taking his leave to join the others.
"Shit now where am I supposed to go." Ragna said to himself after leaving Ozpin's office everyone else was already ahead of him. "I'll have to find a student or something." as if some almighty being heard his question Ragna heard a female voice coming further down the hall.
"Let go." The voice said as Ragna turned the corner, a young man with brown hair and silver plated armor was tugging the ears of the young girl who the voice belonged to two other boys were cheering him on. Ranga made a mental note that the ears in question were rabbit ears. "Cardin just go away." She pleaded. Ragna walked up until he was almost touching the young student known as Cardin, everyone seemed to either not notice or not care about the noise he was making.
"shut it fre-wha?" Cardin said bumping into Ragna, he turned to face the obstacle in his way. Ragna merely looked down at Cardin, not saying a word causing a tense atmosphere "Who the hell are you?" Cardin asked "What's with the eyes and that stupid coat." He turned to his friends "Get a load of this guy?"
"Nice weapon you got there." Ragna said commenting on the large mace on Cardin's back "Compensating for something?" That cause Cardin's face to turn redder than Ragna's coat and prompted his friends to burst out laughing, even the girl gave a small chuckle before silencing herself
"Wha- who-how?" Cardin stammered on trying to think of a response
"I guess with that mace and you deciding to pick on girls, you must be the kind of guy who a low self-esteem and enjoys picking on those smaller than you in order to feel better about yourself. How boring." Ragna walked right past him without waiting for a response and directed his attention to the girl. "Hey, I'm actually a new professor here and I'm looking for the training hall."
"You're a new professor?!" Everyone asked in unison Cardin and his gang seemed to scurry away after that while the girl politely bowed before brushing herself off.
"I had no idea sir, you just seem so..." She trailed off
"Unprofessional? Yea I guess I do look a bit sloppy huh?" Ragna said checking himself out
"Oh no I didn't mean it like that sir not at all!" She said apologetically "You said you needed to get to the training hall? I can defiantly show you the way it's the least I could do."
"You can stop calling me sir, I'm not one for formalities." Ragna said scratching his head "My name is Ragna."
"Oh ok Ragna... It seems really weird calling you by your first name do you mind if I just stick with Professor Ragna?" She asked sheepishly
Ragna sighed "Yea sure... Also this would be the part where you introduce yourself." The girl blushed before bowing again
"I'm very sorry Professor I'm Velvet Scarletina." She said
"Heh it's fine Miss Velvet now onto the training hall right?" He said motioning her to lead.
Ragna and Velvet finally made there way to the training hall to see Kagura and Yang already prepping for their sparring match
"Mister Kagura?" Glynda asked tapping her Scroll impatiently "What do you mean to tell me you don't have an aura?"
"If we aren't talking about my aura of manliness then I don't know what we are talking about." Kagura responded between stretches "Besides from what you explain it's some sort of shield?"
Glynda nodded "Yes that's precisely why I can't really condone this fight as you could injure yourself."
Kagura beamed "Aw I didn't know you cared. Warms my heart Glynda."
"No you are an teacher here if you were to get injured day one that would look bad on us." She sighed "Whatever forget it, go rot for all I care." Ragna took a seat beside the rest of team JNPR
"What's going on?" He whispered to Ren who was surprisingly keeping Nora in check.
"Hmm of Rag- Professor Ragna, nothing much they are just starting..." Ren looked past Ragna seeing Velvet behind him as well "Oh greetings Velvet." He said attracting the rest of his teams attention
"Oh Velvet check this out Yang's going to pummel that guy." Nora said imitating Yang by throwing her fists around adding her own sound effects as she did.
"Nora quiet it's starting." Jaune said staring at the two as the faced off against each other.
Glynda let out a long sigh before standing up "Since Kagura has no aura if he wants to give up he will have to surrender. Simple enough?" She asked Kagura who nodded.
"Let's get this show on the road." Kagura said pulling out his large zweihander with one hand. "I'll go easy on you." He winked at Yang who had been oddly quiet. A buzzer sounded the duel and Kagura took the first move closing the gap between the two, he threw his large blade in front of him in order to block any counter attack before punching at Yang. A large explosion came from Yang's side of Kagura's sword the force knocked Kagura back a couple feet prompting him to regain his balance
"Woah." He said startled, once the dust settled he saw that Yang was slowing moving toward him her eyes and hair alight
"I've had a really bad day, my sister and teammates are missing, then I find out the guy who I thought took her didn't actually take her and that she is in a DIFFERENT DIMENSION." Her voice slowly rose as she continued her rant "AND NOW YOU WANT TO SAY YOU'LL GO EASY ON ME? OH HEEEELL NO!" Yang jumped on Kagura assaulting him with her punches which kept creating more explosions.
"Kagura's on the defensive? Good going girl." Ragna said noticing his allies pained expression
Jaune raised an eyebrow "You aren't cheering for him?" Ragna shook his head slightly
"Nah, if he wants to take his opponents lightly just cause they're female this is what he gets. I do have to ask how is she just creating explosions by punching? Ars?"
"What's Ars?" Jaune asked "Some weird thing from your world I guess." Not waiting for an answer Jaune pointed towards Yang "You see on Yang's wrist?" Ragna nodded "Those are Ember Celica, Yang's weapons they can shoot explosives as well as cause them to explode at close impact."
"Aaah" Ragna said focusing his attention on the fight. Kagura somehow managed to get a foothold and smashed Yang's side flinging the girl across the hall "Ouch" Ragna flinched "That didn't look good."
"It's okay though." Pyrrha said seemingly fine with her friend taking a hit like that. "Yang's Semblence will turn this into a one sided battle fairly quickly"
"Semblance?" Ragna asked "Is that some kind of magic or something?"
"No no... Wait you guys have magic?" Ren said realizing what Ragna had said
"That's. So. COOL!" Nora screamed bouncing towards Ragna's side "Can you like create a mountain of pancakes with that... Or, or how about shooting lasers out of your eyes?"
Ragna who was taken aback by the girls sudden appearance jumped slightly "Those are two very different things." He replied "But no... at least on that I know of."
"Continuing with the previous question." Pyrrha said stopping Nora from bombarding Ragna with more questions "Semblances are something unique to a person, like for example Yang's is that she can take hits and return it twice as hard. Now everyone please focusing on the fight."
So Semblances are similar to Drives huh? Ragna thought to himself before doing as Pyrrha suggested and returning his attention to the fight
"You can still stand right?!" Kagura asked from across the arena "I hope I didn't hit you too ha-Woah!" Kagura was cut off by an explosive narrowly missing his head, it connected with a barrier Glynda must've created before the fight took place in order to stomp collateral damage. Yang continuing to launch explosives as she slowly closed the distance between the two. "Alright, I'm sorry for going easy you want a real fight!" Kagura called to Yang who merely huffed angrily at him "I'll take that as a yes." He said cocking his head to the side "Let's kick it into Overdrive then, yea?" Kagura seemed to burst with energy as firmly gripped his zweihander with both hands "Supreme Dragon's" He chanted dragging his blade into the ground "INFERNO!" He let it loose causing an earth shattering wave of purple flame to fly towards Yang "Following up!" He tossed out a large fireball right behind it encasing Yang in flames "Continuing!" as Kagura said he continued his assault with another fireball before following it to Yang's position. As the fire settled Yang stood clothes slightly singed her aura was steadily depleting as shown on a screen above the arena
"I'm not finished with you yet!" She shouted recklessly rushing Kagura which threw him off his game, earning him a punch in the face by the lone member of Team RWBY "You act so cool, thinking you're great!" She continued screaming punching him again in the guy knocking him to the ground. Yang pounced on her fallen prey and continued beating against Kagura's sword which he had used to defend himself before a small noise could be heard
"I tap." Kagura said calmly "You win."
"My sister could be in trouble and you want to act like everything is fine!" Yang said ignoring Kagura's words, tears welled up in her eyes.
"Miss Xaio Long!" Glynda called before Ragna shook his head silently, already making his way down to the arena.
"Let Kagura handle this." Ragna said quietly, Glynda looked Ragna in the eyes which were focused on the blonde still endlessly beating Kagura's zweihander. She wanted to protest but seeing how both Ragna and Kagura were extremely calm she decided to stay put. Slowly but surely the barrage of attacks slowed down, all that was left was Yang lightly punching Kagura's sword
"You alright now?" Kagura asked quietly causing the girl to breakdown even more, she slumped on his sword crying into the blade. Kaugra let out a long sighed and slowly lifted his hand gently stroking Yang's head "It'll be fine.. You have no real reason to trust us but I'll say it anyways. Kokonoe and Hibiki will find them and then we can all go out for drinks." He said smiling
"I can't drink alcohol yet." She said between sniffles
"That fact that you assumed I was talking about alcohol shows wonders about your character." Kagura said chuckling "But if that's the case then I'll just have to get us all a fancy dinner how about that?"
"Your treat?" Yang asked slowly calming herself down.
"Hah yea sure my treat." Kagura said "You think you can get off my now?"
"OH MY GOD!" Yang said her eyes wide upon realizing how long she had been lying on him "I'm sorry."
"It's fine Yang, I'll admit though you threw quite some punches there." Kagura said praising the young girl "If more people here are like you teaching here might be fun."
"No one is like me." Yang said puffing out her chest, the girls upbeat attitude had came back as quickly as it left.
"Alright alright, classes are going to begin any minute now." Glynda said turning to Ragna "I hope you have some sort of idea."
"I got everything under control." Ragna said reassuring her "Kagura why don't you go look for Noel in the meantime?" hearing Noel's name Kagura jumped up rushing out the door
"I'll be back in time to do my lesson!" He shouted as he slammed the door shut. Ragna let out a deep sigh shaking his head slightly
"Did Yang really win that?" Jaune whispered to his team. "It seems more like Kagura won in the end."
"Let's just leave it alone, how about that Jaune?" Ren said "You wouldn't want to be Kagura's sword now would you?" Jaune gulped at the thought of it.
~Whew I wanted this to be half RWBY half BB but alas it didn't work out. Next Chapter we will see what has happened to Weiss and maybe even Noel?! Who knows. Remember to Review and all that jazz as it always helps out.~
