A quick recap of last chapter Ash is going to rotate living with a different team (RWBY, JNPR, CFVY, and CRDL) every week. I've also decided to make pairing names just for fun. Here's the list of current pairings in the harem.
Ash x Penny: Iron Man and Iron Woman
Ash x Velvet: Energizer Bunny
Ash x Nora: King and Queen of the Castle
These are the current results thus far for girls to add to the harem. Top two will be picked
Ash x Yang: Fire and Lightning (2)
(The flames of their unwavering fighting spirit will transform into the flames of love and passion)
Ash x Coco: Starbucks (3)
(The shy bunny decides to share her boyfriend with her best friend)
Ash x Winter: Cold Steel (3)
(Former teacher/ student relationship... kinky)
Ash x Ruby: The weapon and weapon lover (2)
(Don't deny Her the chance to play with Ash's weapon lol)
Ash x Weiss: Snow storm (0) (don't be so cold guys XD)
Jack: Thanks dude! Glad you like it. And yeah I've also only read one other cyborg RWBY fic but it was a crossover with Naruto.
NecrorexSparda Juubi-No-Kishin: Yup I plan on giving Ash some mods but not until volume 2 and 3.
Raidentensho: Yeah I had to nerf him in some way so he's not to OP. I'll eventually give him something that will let him counter magnetism at a distance. And Is it just me or does everybody in team RWBY rely on their semblance while team JNPR rarely use them?
Tyson113: Thank you for reviewing! writers thrive off reviews like vampires to blood :)
Neon: Yeah I caught that afterwards. Thanks and if you see a typo like that again please point it out. It really bugs me when people read my stuff and there are errors like that.
ExS-DrlfTeRr: Thanks for the support!
CreatorOfOniKuro: Sisters at the same time? Gasps We think alike good sir :D. Thanks for reviewing!
Cf96: Just cool? Your words wound my frail heart. grabs chest Jk. Thanks for telling me you like it :P
I'll try to reply to most of the reviews but If you're a guest and you want me to reply I can't unless you post a name with your review.
Ok before I start I want to say something. A few days ago my friend and editor FearTheGhostKing made some edits to this chapter. I thanked him for helping me out and said that If he ever wrote a story I'd help him like he helped me. In response he started to write a story and sent it to me while saying and I quote " Hope your ready for some godawful writing."
I read it.
And it was really awesome!
Tons of people don't write because they don't believe in their abilities. Heck I've wanted to write for the longest time ever but I thought that my writing was trash. But it isn't (hopefully :P), judging by reviews. Anyway self doubt is poison and as a writer the biggest barrier isn't writer's block. Its yourself. Hell one of you, or even all of you could become great writers (if you're not already). And If you apply yourself you can only get better. So fellow writers I implore you to support/ inspire your readers to write. Readers I want you to write something, anything, you don't even have to post it just try it out. Even just taking the time to try it is something to be proud about.

I was enjoying my well earned rest, sleeping on a futon in the middle of team RWBY's dorm. I was out like a light, which was understandable because I took on a horde of Grimm solo.
Suddenly, the piercing shriek of a whistle startled me awake, causing me to roll off the futon and onto the floor.
Unfortunately, Weiss also jolted awake and rolled off the bed.
And onto my back.
"Good morning, team RWBY!" Ruby cheers out enthusiastically.
"Ugh… It's too early in the morning for this," I moaned out with a bleary eyed Weiss laying on my back.
"What in the world is wrong with you?" Weiss questioned her but then looked down noticing me under her and got off with a slight blush. Whether it was from embarrassment or anger was lost to me.
"Now that you're awake, we can officially begin our first order of business," Ruby continued.
"Excuse me?" Weiss asked now fully awake and alert.
"Decorating!" Yang said excited while holding several objects.
"We still have to unpack," Blake added. "And clean," She said as her suitcase opened up, dumping its contents across the floor.
"Aaaalright! Weiss, Blake, Yang, and their fearless leader Ruby have begun their first mission!" Ruby declared. "Banzai!"
"Banzai!" Blake and Yang repeated as Weiss and I looked on with vacant expressions.
Xxxxxxxx
"This isn't going to work," Ruby stated.
"It is a bit cramped," Blake agreed.
"We had so much room in here, what happened?" I questioned, confused.
"Maybe we should ditch some of our stuff..." An unsure Yang said.
"Or… we could ditch the beds... and replace them with bunk beds!" Ruby proclaimed, proud of her idea.
"Umm, that sounds incredibly dangerous," Weiss voiced her apprehensions.
"And super-awesome!" Yang added on
"It does seem efficient," Blake concurred.
"Weiss, we won't win this argument, just let them do it," I reasoned with her, knowing that we can't change their minds.
Huffing with her arms crossed, she replied "Fine."
Xxxxxxxx
"Objective: Complete!" Ruby cheered as we looked around the room.
'Thank god I sleep on a futon' I thought, noticing some serious problems with the 'bunk beds'. Yang's bed was held over Blake's using books as supports between the posts. And Ruby's bed was held from ropes attached to the ceiling, suspending it above Weiss's bed. 'Weiss, If you get crushed by a bed In your sleep, we will miss you' I said to myself fearing for her safety.
"Alright! Our second order of business is... classes," Ruby said as she jumped on her bed. "Now, we have a few classes together today. At 9, we've got to be-"
"What?! Did you say 9 o'clock?" Weiss questioned.
"Ummmm," Ruby intelligently replied.
"It's 8:55, you dunce!" Weiss said, lashing out at Ruby.
At this I interjected, "Actually, I set the clock back an hour in case something like this happened," I said. Before proceeding to take out my scroll and show them that It's only 7:55. "I figured that we could use the extra time to get to know each other and eat at the cafeteria," I stated, explaining my actions. The girls were surprised at my foresight but were pleased none the less that we wouldn't be late.
"Alright, second mission: Get to the cafeteria and eat breakfast," Ruby responded, throwing her fist into the air.
Stepping out into the hall, I responded, "Hey, you guys go on without me, I'm going to ask team JNPR If they want to join us. They are our neighbors after all." Team RWBY nodded in understanding and made their way down to the cafeteria.
I made my way to team JNPR's door and knocked twice. After a minute or two of waiting, the scarlet haired Spartan opened the door dressed in her uniform. "Hey Pyrrha. Team RWBY Is going down to the cafeteria for Breakfast. Do you guys want to join us?" I informed/asked.
"Sure Nora's the last person to take a shower and she should be done soon. We'll meet you at the cafeteria in a few minutes," Pyrrha told me.
Nodding in satisfaction, I made my way down to the cafeteria.
Xxxxxxxx
"Hey Ash, can we still ask you our questions?" Jaune asked referring to himself, Pyrrha, and Yang as teams RWBY, JNPR and I sat at a cafeteria table.
"Sure," I responded.
"So where did you learn how to fight?" He asked, hoping to figure out how to better himself.
"Well, I was trained by Weiss' sister Winter, General Ironwood of the Atlesian military, and one of my other good friends named Penny," I replied.
"Would you be willing to fight me in hand to hand combat?" Yang asked with a fire burning in her eyes. She was visibly excited at the thought of fighting a fellow brawler.
"Sure, once combat class starts we can schedule a match," I replied, equally pumped at fighting a strong opponent. "But be warned, I won't go easy on you," I taunted.
"Wouldn't have it any other way, Tiger," She replied, unfazed by my taunt.
I then turned to the final interrogator. "So, do you know what you want to ask me Pyrrha?" I inquired.
"Well, a friend of mine wanted to know If you're in a relationship with anybody," She asked with a straight face. At this question, the table was completely silenced and everybody looked at me intently, expecting an answer.
Xxxxxx
Flashback
"Hey Pyrrha, do you know what question you're going to ask Ash?" Nora asked, as team JNPR walked down the hallway to the cafeteria.
"Umm... I'm still unsure what to ask him," Pyrrha admitted, as they started to lag behind Ren and Jaune.
"Well, you should ask if he is dating anyone," Nora said, trying and failing to not sound interested.
"Do you like him?!" Pyrrha asked, noticing her interest in the subject.
"Psssh… whaaat? No way. I just think he's pretty cool and fun!" Nora vehemently denied Pyrrha's accusation.
Pyrrha just nodded in understanding as they continued to walk towards the cafeteria.
Flashback end

"Well, my friend Penny acts weird around me sometimes, but I don't think we're in a 'relationship'. And my friend/previous teacher Winter acts overly affectionate around me, though I think she's just proud of me," I said. Girls have always confused me so I've just never tried to figure them out.
'Great. He's a cute guy but he's dense as a rock.' The girls thought, sweatdropping.
"But I lived outside of the kingdoms before I moved to Atlas, and they practice this thing called Polygamy. It's basically the Idea that someone can have multiple wives and love them all equally." I added as afterthought.' Technically That was only a half lie because Polygamy exists in some countries on earth' I thought.
As I said that everyone's eyes widened incredulous and disbelieving of the concept. 'No way in hell am I sharing him' Nora thought looking at the others as her joyful eyes gained a possessive gleam to them.
When I said that some of the girls regained hope in pursuing the focus of their affection. For the rest of breakfast we made small talk and got to know each other better. Suddenly I heard loud laughter vibrating throughout the cafeteria. Turning around I could barely contain my rage at what I saw. Team CRDL was sitting next to Velvet and harassing her. The worst part was that Velvet was just sitting there in sadness and no one tried to do anything.
"Hey guys, what's a filthy faunus doing at a prestigious school like beacon?" Cardin asked his henchmen.
"A freak like her probably threatened someone to get in," Russell said coldly.
"Why don't you go home, you dirty faunus," Sky added with venom.
Deciding I've seen enough I got out of my seat. Ignoring teams RWBY and JNPR's concerns I made my way over Cardin and his posse.
"What the hell are you doing?" I grilled them about how they've been treating Velvet, "Leave her alone," I commanded as I stood in front of Velvet, shielding her from the bullies.
"No one tells me what to do," Cardin growled out as he stood up and looked down at me, "Hey, you're the tin man. Don't forget that you are a part of my team also. So remember your place. Let's go guys, you don't want to hang around losers for to long." And with that, the resident douche bags left.
"Don't do this again or we are going to have some serious problems," I warned him and his lackeys. they left and the bird themed team ignored my threat.
"Hey, are you alright? What's your name?" I asked. "My name's Ash Harkin, and you can sit with me and my friends If you want."
"I'm ok. T-thank you for asking, and my name is Velvet Scarlatina ," The rabbit faunus replied shyly, while internally glad someone stood up for her. "I'm a member of team CFVY and one of your future teammates," She Informed as we walked over to teams RWBY and JNPR's table.
Velvet and I sat down at the end of the table next to Jaune and Ruby respectively. I looked up and noticed my friends staring at me. "What? I don't tolerate bullies or racism," I said, defending my actions. Velvet looked surprised at my declaration but remained silent. 'My knight in shining armor' she said to herself, with flushed cheeks.
"It's just most people wouldn't physically step into stop something like that," Blake stated, while internally proud of my actions.
"Well, It's a good thing I'm not like most people," I said.
As I said that, Ruby and Yang were having a mental conversation as they looked at each other.
'Sis it's just like the bed time stories you read to me! The dashing prince that comes to the princess's aid!' Ruby mentally said to Yang.
'I know sis, that was super romantic' Yang agreed with her.
Nora suddenly broke into their conversation, 'I want him to be the king of my castle' she thought to them while blushing.
Upon hearing what Nora said Ruby and Yang gained a red tint on their cheeks. Although they were unsure if they were attracted to Ash they couldn't deny that he was a cool, fun guy to hang around.
Snapping Nora, Ruby and Yang out of their thoughts, Ren abruptly pointed out the time, "It's 8:45, we should probably start walking to class."
Realizing what time It was, we said our goodbyes and made our way to our respective classes.

"Monsters! Deeeemons... Prowlers of the night! Yes, the creatures of Grimm have many names, but I merely refer to them as prey! Ha-ha!"
I had Grimm studies with team RWBY this morning and our teacher was interesting. 'Okay, this Is actually pretty good information on dealing with the grim but the problem is how he's telling us the information' I thought, glancing around the room as I was taking notes. 'Maybe I should give him some tips to keep our attention' I said to myself noticing that his 'lecture' put half the class to sleep.
Focusing back on Professor Port, I hear him ask, "So, who among you believes themselves to be the embodiment of these traits?"
With her hand shooting into the air Weiss proclaims, "I do, sir!"
Looking over in our direction he sees me writing in my notebook. "May I see your notebook," Port asks me as he was walking around telling his story, noticing my page covered in complex diagrams and notes. I handed It to him and wondered If I did something wrong.
After taking a minute to read it and hand it back to me he said, "Good work my boy. These are some very good notes. You may also embody the traits of a huntsman. But now I will test you along with Ms. Schnee. Both of you, please get changed into your combat attire." Looking towards the heiress he said, "When you return, go to the front of the room and face your opponent and Mr. Harkin you will fight your opponent after Ms. Schnee."
Xxxxxxx
After getting changed, I sat back down with team RWBY as Weiss stood in front of one of the two cages in the room. The rest of team RWBY and I settled on cheering for Weiss.
"Gooo Weiss!" Yang exclaimed as she fist pumped
"Fight well," Blake said, while waving a team RWBY flag.
'Where the hell did she even get that from? We've been a team for barely a day.' I thought before shouting, "Kick It's butt Weiss."
"Yeah, represent team RWBY!" Our fearless leader cheered.
"I'm trying to focus Ruby!" Weiss retorted obviously irritated.
Professor Port swung his axe down and broke the lock on the cage. Immediately sensing the opportunity for freedom a boarbatusk rushed out and charged Weiss.
Leaping to the left she dodged the boar Grimm. "Ha-ha! Wasn't expecting that, were you?" Port Jovially stated.
"Hang in there, Weiss!" Ruby encouraged.
Weiss then turned around and launched herself at the beast. She lunging at it, trying to pierce it's skull, but the Boarbatusk managed to trap her sword in its tusks. As the two of them fought for control of Myrtenaster, the Professor and Ruby decided to add their two cents.
"Bold, new approach. I like it!" Port voiced his opinions.
"Come on, Weiss, show it who's boss!" Ruby said supportively.
Turning away from the Boar themed Grimm, Weiss glared at Ruby. 'Nooo what are you doing. Never turn away from an enemy In a fight' I groaned out internally. Capitalizing on Weiss's distraction, the Boarbatusk was able to rip Myrtenaster from her hands and throw it across the room. Using it's momentum, the Grimm was able to throw Weiss to the ground as well.
"Oh-ho! Now what will you do without your weapon?" Our Professor asked.
Weiss looked up from the floor and saw the Boar was charging at her again, intent on trampling her. Acting quickly she rolled out of the way and spotted her weapon across the room. The Heiress immediately ran towards Myrtenaster and slid to pick it up as she neared it. Now armed, she was prepared to finish the fight.
"Weiss! Go for its belly! There's no armor underneath-" Ruby said before being cut off.
"Stop telling me what to do!" Weiss yelled as her anger finally boiled over.
Ruby's expression mirrored a kicked puppy. She looked at her desk dejectedly, feeling as if she's a bad leader. Turning to her I said, "Ruby, It's not your fault. Weiss Is just stressed out about the fight." Her features regained some of their happiness but she continued to watch in silence. I looked over towards Yang and noticed her eyes were red. 'She's pissed' I thought suddenly fearing for Weiss. Catching my glance she mouthed a 'Thank you' for consoling Ruby. I gave her a silent thumbs up in reply.
Looking back at the fight, the Boarbatusk curled up into a ball and rolled in place, gaining speed after every rotation. Suddenly It shot forward hell-bent on steamrolling the snow themed girl. As it neared her, she created a white glyph in its path. The creature of darkness impacted the glyph and recoiled landing on it's back. In an instant Weiss jumped onto her glyph and used It to catapult herself towards her prey. Upon reaching her target she drove her rapier into it's stomach. It released a pained squeal, signifying it's death.
"Bravo! Bra-vo! It appears we are indeed in the presence of a true Huntress-in-training!" Port congratulated Weiss. After taking a quick glance at the clock, he spoke, "It appears we have some time left. Mr. Harkin, can you come down."
As Weiss got up and walked to our team's table, I quickly made my way down to the front of the class and took my position in front of the cage. Getting into a boxing stance, I prepared myself for what ever he would throw at me. Port swung his axe at the lock and a Grimm slowly hopped out to great me.
'Wait hop?' I thought before I felt two powerful legs explode into my stomach. The force of the blow instantly knocked me across the room. I quickly got up after and looked at my aggressor.
My opponent is a kangaroo themed Grimm, standing at 8 ft tall and has spikes protruding down it's spine all the way down to it's tail. It has heavily muscled arms and legs that are adorned with bone plate making it a tough creature to fight. The only visible weak spot is Its unprotected chest.
"This, class is a new type of Grimm called a Devil Boxer. And it excels in close quarters combat!" Port informed us excited.
The Devil Boxer quickly hopped towards me, closing the distance in a few bounds. Using it's tail for balance, It attempted to kick me in the chest again. Ducking under it, I attempted to sweep it's tail out from under it with my leg. I managed to knock it off balance but before I could press my advantage, it attempted to crush me under it's legs. I quickly rolled to the right and prepared to attack it but It's legs impacted my chest again. 'Shit this thing hits like a truck. Its attacks are whittling my aura away' Quickly glancing at my scroll, I saw that I had 70% left.
The Devil Boxer used this distraction to lash out with a double kick, but I leapt to the right avoiding it. I prepared to counterattack, seeing that it's legs were still raised. Getting into It's face, I threw a right jab forward at it's unprotected chest, only for It's right hand to block and grab my offending limb. The Kangaroo Grimm tried to strike me with a left punch, but it was intercepted by my hand. As we stood there grappling each other, the Grimm decided to play dirty.
My world exploded into pain. So much pain.
At that moment every male in the classroom paled.
My classmates and teacher winced upon seeing me get kicked.
In the crotch.
The force of the below the belt attack knocked me backwards and onto the floor. I took this moment to silently cry. Having aura only slightly mitigated the pain of the fiendish attack. Thankfully the Grimm didn't attack me while I was down. I took a moment to recompose myself and check my aura before standing up.'That attack took 30% of my aura!' I thought incredulously. My aura had now drained to 40%. I had to be careful from here on out. But I decided something else.
I was gonna kill this Grimm and kick it in the crotch as payback.
I channeled lightning into my leg thrusters and shot off towards my rival. With my thrusters still on I lashed out with a powerful sidekick. The Devil Boxer blocked the kick but was sent skidding backwards. With my thrusters still on I leapt forwards into the air and performed a front flip forwards. I smoothly transitioned my flip into an axe kick as I brought my right leg onto the Grimm. My kick struck it in the chest and it was harshly slammed into the ground. It gasped out in pain as my attack had damaged it's internal organs. Before the light vanished from it's eyes, I kicked it in the crotch.
Hard.
Because paybacks a bitch.
It squeaked out in pain and then died.
Everybody sweatdropped at my actions but they couldn't fault me. Because it sucks getting kicked in the crotch. It sucks double if the person kicking you has leg muscles the size of watermelons. And It sucks triple If they use two legs to kick you.
So yeah.
I brushed the dust off of me and walked back to my desk."Good job Mr. Harkin," Port congratulated me. Looking at his clock the Professor announced, "Well class this is all the time we have today. Remember to go over the assigned readings and stay vigilant! Class dismissed!"
As we left class, I realized that I was still wearing my combat clothes. I excused myself from the team and went to get changed.
As I came back I heard Ozpin assuring Ruby that she's a capable leader. Knowing she's in good hands I went to our room to work on homework.
Xxxxxx
I awoke in the middle of the night hearing Weiss and Ruby talking. "Just know that I am going to be the best teammate you'll ever have!" Weiss declared to Ruby. I just smiled and went back to sleep.
Xxxxxxxxx
And finished
I honestly got the idea for my Oc Grimm from watching Kangaroo Jack XD. And no joke wild Kangaroos will go for crotch shots. Scary right? Anyway next chapter will start a week from now. So Ash is rooming with team JNPR. As such next chapter will be original (since Ash switches teams weekly and the next episode happens a few weeks after this one) but I'm not sure about the chapter after that. Also I'm ending the poll for the harem on December 2nd. Again here are the current standings.
Top two will be picked.
Coco: 3
Winter: 3
Yang: 2
Ruby: 2
Weiss: 0
