I do not own anything but the OCs.
The rest of the flight had been boring as all Percy and Ruby was cuddle on one of the supports and kiss occasionally. When the ship finally landed at Beacon they jumped down and saw the blond haired boy, that they had started to call vomit boy, ran straight off before throwing up into the first bin that he saw.
As the Yang, Ruby and Percy walked off the airship and towards the front entrance, they were more impressed at the school than what they had seen in pictures. "Wow…" they said in unison looking around the courtyard.
"The view from Vale's got nothing on this!" Yang declared, folding her arms over her chest.
Suddenly Ruby started to fan girl over all the new weapons that she saw people carrying "Ohmygosh, guys! That kid's got a collapsible staff! And she's got a fire sword!" Ruby said with stars in her eyes as she started to follow the girl before Percy pulled her back.
"Jeez Rubes, I'm starting to think you love weapons more than you love me" Percy teased, drawing a horrified expression off Ruby.
"No I do love you, It's just I enjoy looking at the weapons other people make, something that is an extension of our body." Ruby explained before mock glaring at Percy when he started to chuckle "What's so funny huh?" she asked.
"Nothing I just find it funny how you know more about weapons than I think you know about people sometimes" Percy teased kissing the top of her head when she pouted at him, "plus you can always swoon over your own weapon or even Riptide if you wanted." He added.
"But it's not the same, I've built, rebuilt, repaired and upgraded both of our weapons numerous times," Ruby complained "I just like seeing new weapons, it's like meeting new people, but better…" she added.
Yang walked up in front of her sister and pulled her hood down, "you're such a weapon junkie you know, why don't you go try find some people you and Percy were friends with that were joining this year? Or make new friends?" she suggested to her sister who seemed to perk up and the thought of meeting with her friends from higher levels.
Ruby quickly looked at Percy with puppy dog eyes, before he sighed and gave in, "Fine we can go to where their meeting up, only Lis knows about us coming so she told me where everyone was going to meet up before going to the auditorium" he informed her before looking up at Yang and was about to say something before she saw her already going off with her friends.
Sighing he slung his arm over Ruby shoulders, causing her to blush a bit, "So you ready to see who else came to Signal Little Rose?" Percy asked as Ruby giggled lightly at the name.
"You and Yang are probably the only people that I would allow to use that name anymore" Ruby said softly, looking down sadly, as if remembering a bad memory.
Percy noticed her change in attitude and started to rub her upper arm softly, trying to comforting her. "Come on I'm sure Lis is waiting for us, plus I kind of, might have forgotten to say you were going to be coming as well so we can surprise them." Percy said sheepishly rubbing the back of his head with his free hand.
Ruby giggled softly at her boyfriend before they started walking towards the left side of the Beacon Academy Statue, a male wielding a sword in his right hand and raised in a triumphant gesture, and a younger female wielding a double-edged battle-ax in her left hand and looking off into the horizon.
As the two walked over they notice a group of teenagers hanging around one of the benches where a two teenage girls, one with crimson hair with an orange tint that reached the middle of her back she was wearing a red jacket with dark red ends, a crimson blouse underneath as well as maroon shorts and black low-heeled knee high boots with dark crimson sole, along with a crimson coloured chocker with a cat faced pendant, a silver bracelet on her right wrist and cat ear on top of her head. The girl sitting next to her had short white hair with a light blue tint to it, she wore a light blue shirt underneath a white jacket, and the girl also wore light blue shorts and white knee high combat boots with light blue laces, along with gold studs in her ears.
The group surrounding the two girls consisted of another four girls and a guy. The one guy wore a dark green, diagonally-buttoned, long-sleeved tailcoat with black and gold trimming and pink cuffs; he also had long black hair tied into a pony tail and a magenta streak on the left side of his hair.
The girl closest to him had short orange hair; she wore a white sleeveless top that formed a tiny heart shape between her cleavage and collarbone with a white detached sleeve on each arm. She also wore a pink skirt that started at her waist and ends mid-thighs and sported shoes that were a mix of pink and white with punk laces and pink fingerless gloves.
The one that stood closest to the bench had short spiky black hair and wore a grey hoodie with a dark gray shirt underneath, that was almost black, as well as black shorts rolled up to her mid-thigh and black combat boots that reached her mid-calf.
The other two girls were standing off to the side a bit, one was a Faunus with brown bunny ears on the top of her head, she wore a dark-brown, long-sleeved jacket that comes down around her chest over a shirt and she wore leggings that consisted of two parts; a pair of dark-brown shorts and a pair of black form-fitting leggings that come to just below her hips.
The girl next to her had fair skin and short, dark brown hair with wavy locks on one side of her face, dyed with a gradient that seem to start dark brown and transitioned to red. She wore a cocoa-coloured long shirt with a dark brown corset, as well as long dark brown trousers with ribbons on the left side and a black belt with bullets.
"Well, well, well look who we have here" Percy said as they got closer, causing the group to look at the two new arrivals, "A flame brain, bolt head, kitty, lotus, a knee breaker and bunny" he teased the group with the smirk.
The entire group, bar the girl with dark brown hair, looked surprised at the arrival of Percy and Ruby. "Come on guys, haven't seen each other since you graduated and you're looking at us like we're ghosts" Percy teased, as Ruby giggled at their reactions.
That seemed to break the group out of their shock and caused them to come rush over to the two an embrace them in a group hug.
"Percy! Ruby!" they exclaimed together as they hugged.
Percy and Ruby both laughed at their reaction as they hugged back. As the group let go, the girl with short crimson and orange haired spoke up "Well I knew you were coming here Perce, why didn't you mention that Rubes was coming as well".
"Well you see Lis I wanted to keep Ruby coming as well a secret" Percy said smiling before getting a light smack on the shoulder by Ruby.
"Lies, you forgot to tell them that I was even coming" Ruby mock scolded, "and don't you try to lie, I've known you for long enough to know when you lie" she added when she saw him about to say something.
"Not most things" he muttered under his breath, which only Ruby, the girl with black hair and Lis heard. The last two snickered at that knowing exactly what he was talking about but was surprised, as with the rest of the group, when Ruby kissed on the lips.
"Ok I know when you're lying about most things, just not your feelings" Ruby clarified "and you aren't any better otherwise you would have asked ages ago" she added sticking her tongue out at him when he pouted.
"So when did you two get together? And why was I not informed Rubes? I thought we were best friends" Lis teased her, being the first to get out of the surprise at seeing the two kiss after watching them.
"When Lisa, last year Yang dared both of us, separately and privately of course, to tell the others about our feelings otherwise she would do it for us." Ruby started to explain, embarrassed about explaining it, "but it was kinda awkward for the both of us to do so she might have locked in room till we confessed to one another, we've kept it secret because we wanted to see how it went before saying anything." She finished with a blush on her cheeks as well as Percy's, embarrassed as they remembered what actually happened that day.
When the Lis, or Lisa, the white haired girl, Kallen, and black haired girl, Thalia, saw the blushes on their faces, they gained devilish smirks across their faces.
"I'm sure it's been quite interesting for the both of you" Kallen teased them with a smirk, making their blushes grow darker, "oh and before I forget Velvet why don't you introduce your friend to these two" she added looking at the girl with bunny ears, who nodded quickly before gesturing to the girl next to her.
"Oh yes, well this is my team leader Coco" said girl gave them a wave "Coco this is Percy and Ruby" she pointed at the two as she said names "I thought I should introduce her to my old friends from Signal that were coming" She explained.
"So you're the guy that used to protect little Velvet here from bullies huh" Coco said walking over to him to get a better look at him, he just nodded his head confused "well I have to thank you, she has become a good friend to me over the year we've worked together" She told them.
"Well it's good to know Velvet here has made a friend outside us" Percy said smiling before turning to the boy with black hair and girl next to him "so Nora any cool new stories about you and Ren here?" He asked, he enjoyed listening to her over exaggerated stories whenever they hung out.
"Ooo yes I have heaps of stories to tell" Nora told him, excited about the fact of telling more stories. But before she could continue Ren interrupted her.
"I'm sure they'd love to hear about them, but right now we should head to the auditorium before we're late." Ren suggested and got several nods in agreement.
"Ahh, you guys go ahead… Thalia and I need to discuss something in private" Percy told them, trying to keep the nervousness from his voice.
Thalia, seeing the look in his eyes, quickly added "uhh yeah we'll meet you guys in there we just need to talk about a secret project" the others seemed to accept this and started to head towards the auditorium, while Ruby stayed by Percy's side, "could you please go to Rubes it's kind of secret."
"No she can stay, she has a right to know as well and I trust her not to share this information" Percy argued before looking pointedly at his girlfriend, "right Ruby?" He questioned and got a nervous nod of the head in return.
"Well since that's settled tell me Thals have you had anymore flashbacks or visions?" Percy inquired seriously, getting a confused looked from Ruby.
"Yeah I had at least one or two a week since they started last year" Thalia said before a blush appeared across her face "have you visions shown you what our relationship was?" She nervously asked.
"I know we were close friends but apart from that no, I also this feeling like I have more visions left" Percy told her and was about to continue but was cut off by Ruby who was really confused.
"What are you guys talking about? What visions? And what relationship?" She questioned confused as to what was happening. Thalia look at Percy expectantly to explain what they were talking about seeing as Ruby was his girlfriend and he allowed her to say.
"Well you see a couple years ago Thalia and I started having these weird visions that included the both of us, Thalia though seemed to get them more frequent and longer in duration than mine. But the thing about them was that we didn't seem to be in any part of Remnant and they seemed to be like past experiences. We discovered that in a past life we were born in a separate dimension with the same first names, and were fighting monsters that were different to the Grimm we fight now." Percy explained before taking a breath and continuing "What we can gather about our past lives from these visions is that we were born from a mortal and a god, more specifically I was a child of Poseidon the God of the Sea and Thalia was a child of Zeus the God of Lightning as well as king of the gods. But before our births some kind of prophecy was announced stating that a child born from either one of them or their brother, Hades, was destined to either save or destroy them. It turned out I was that child even though Thalia was older she was able to stop her ageing." Before Percy could continue he was cut off by Thalia.
"We can continue this later we should head to the auditorium now before we miss the announcement." She insisted before she started to head off the auditorium with Percy and Ruby following a few steps behind her.
When they got into the auditorium they were relieved to see that the announcement hadn't happened yet and quickly went off to find the others. It took them a minute to find the others standing a bit off to the side of the rest, they noticed that Yang was there and Velvet and Coco weren't.
"Hey guys what happened to Velvet and Coco?" Percy asked when they got to them.
"They left 'cause this is for the first years and they also had stuff to do" Lisa told them, "you guys are lucky though I think Ozpin is about to do his speech."
And just liked Lisa said Ozpin walked up to the mic and started speaking "I'll… keep this brief." He started "You have travelled here today in search of knowledge, to hone your craft and acquire new skills, and when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you, and all I see is waster energy, in need of purpose, direction." Throughout the hall students started to whisper among themselves "You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step."
With that he turned and left the stage as Glynda walks up to the microphone to speak "You will gather in the ballroom tonight; tomorrow, your initiation begins. Be ready. You are dismissed." She informed before following after Ozpin.
"Well isn't he just a ball of sunshine" Percy said dryly causing the group to either chuckle or giggle at what he said.
"It's almost like he wasn't even there." Ruby commented offhandedly.
The rest of the group nodded before they to the decision of looking around the outside of beacon. As they were walking Percy suddenly remembered something he had forgotten about before.
"Hey guys do you mind if me and Ruby leave you guys for a bit? There's something I have to show her which I was meaning to before we got here." Percy asked nervously.
Most of their friends gained devilish smirks when they heard this and saw Ruby blushing slightly.
"Sure you go show Ruby whatever it is you want" Yang smirked "just remember to use protection I don't want nieces or nephews yet." She added teasingly, getting heavy blushes from both of them and laughs from the others.
"Yaaaang! Don't say such things we've hardly been dating." Ruby complained/scolded her sister who just laughed at her more.
Huffing Ruby grabbed Percy's hand before using her speed to quickly get them to where their stuff was being held in the ballroom. There were a few students lounging around the open area and didn't seem to notice their arrival.
Silently and awkwardly Percy walked over to where his stuff was and started to look one of his duffle bags. Ruby silently followed, her blush slowly calming itself down, and looked over his shoulder to see what he was looking for.
She wasn't surprised when she saw the bag was filled with numerous sketch books and sketch pads, all varying in size. That was the thing about the two they had made them quick friends, while Ruby was quite skilled in engineering and mechanics for her age, Percy was really good at drawing up designs for weapons, he was the one that helped both Yang and Ruby design their weapons and if he built all the weapons he had thought of he would have a small arsenal at his disposal.
"Ah huh!" Percy said suddenly as he brought out a blue sketch book that Ruby recognized as one of the ones which hold his best designs in, she quickly became more interested in what he was going to show her.
Flicking through the pages Ruby saw the many designs and parts he had drawn up for specific designs. Finally he came to a stop a few pages from the back of the book and Ruby went wide eyed at the amount of design he had put into this one drawing.
Quickly snatching the book from his grasps she looked through the notes, amazed at how much more detail he put into the than his other designs. From what she could read so far this was for his weapon and would completely rework his weapon.
"I kinda started working on it a couple months ago because, while I was able to use the scythe in basic combat, I thought it might be better to just focus one type of weapon after I graduated." Percy he explained while he nervously watched Ruby study his design.
That was something about Percy, whenever someone is looking at his designs he becomes self-conscious and nervous, always worrying there might be something about his design that he might have missed, but if asked to explain he instantly became enthusiastic about it and started explaining.
"This is amazing Percy, most of the new parts for your weapon seemed to be custom made from your own design, why is that?" Ruby asked curiously, noticing that nearly three fifths of the new weapon were ones that Percy had design himself, and she herself could recognize around three quarts of them.
"Well you see while I was designing it I tried thinking of what I'd need to actually get the transformation between forms quicker, and I was able to get it fast than standard weapons, though it takes up a bit of room I've been trying to condense it more." Percy explained while pointing to each part as he went on, before flicking to the last page where it showed the specific part "here I drew it up so I could try condense it and also get it to work with crescent rose for you." He explained.
"Wow you put lots of detail into this Percy, you've thought of every part. There's more detail in this one than what you normally do, what's so special about this design?" Ruby asked curiously as she started picturing how the weapon would work in her head.
"Well it's just that this is hopefully going to be my weapon for the rest of my time at beacon I thought it would be beneficial to put my best effort into this work, I'd do it if you wanted to ever upgrade crescent rose." Percy explained sheepishly, "when I originally started to design it when I thought I still had a year before I left signal, I actually finished this the day before Ozpin enrolled, so I worked on creating the parts before coming here."
Ruby looked up at him surprised when she saw one of duffel bags was half filled with clothes the other half had a box which she assumed was filled with parts. When she turned to face Percy she saw that he was rubbing his neck nervously and was shifting back and forth, she quickly understood his nervousness when his eyes switched between looking at her and the box of gears.
Smirking slightly Ruby looked Percy in the eye and asked "you want me to build your weapon for you don't you?" Slightly amused when she saw him splutter and try to say something.
"Uh no… I mean yes… I mean I really wanted to use this weapon for beacon but because of the fact that we got moved ahead I won't have a chance to build it, I was just hoping that you might use your semblance to help me" Percy said with his head down in shame, he didn't want to use Ruby's unique ability just to better his time here.
Giving a small smile Ruby lifted his head to look her in the eyes "will there be. A reward or payment if I do it?" She teased, she didn't really care about a reward she just wanted to see what he'd do.
Quickly nodding his head he replied "yes anything you want." He knew he'd regret it but he would do anything for Ruby.
"Well I think a date in two weeks after we've settled in and a plate of fresh blue cookies, every week, for the rest of the year will be good rewards." She instructed while smiling as he just chuckled at her antics.
It was well known within their family and friends that Ruby loved Percy and his mother's blue cookies and if she was ever was sad or angry with him he just had to cook a batch of blue cookies to get her to calm down, so it wasn't a surprise that she'd find a way to get more of them.
"I don't even know where you put all those cookies, I'm starting to think you stomach is bottomless at this point" Percy teased and poked her stomach making her giggle and squirm, "so that all you want in return for making my weapon?"
"Yup! I'd ask for you to work on upgrades for crescent rose but you already do that for me even when I don't ask." Ruby answered smiling at him before turning back to the designs "So all the components are either in Riptide or this box?" she asked curiously.
As soon as Percy nodded his head in confirmation there was suddenly a blur of red around him. After a few moments or so the blur stop and standing there was Ruby holding Riptide in its compact form which still looked similar to Crescent Rose's compact form.
"That was fast" Percy said staring wide eyed at Ruby's speed, he knew she was fast but he had calculated that the time need for him to deconstruct and reconstruct his weapon with the new parts would take him at least three days.
Shaking off his surprise he took his weapon from Ruby and clipped it on behind him before he bent down and gave her a kiss on the lips. Ruby was too surprised by the sudden act that she didn't respond at first, but when he started to pull away she wrapped her arms around his neck to pull him back down so she could kiss him back. When they pulled back their breathing was slightly irregular and both had red tinting their cheeks.
"Not that I don't you kissing me but what brought that out?" Ruby asked a bit dazed from the kiss.
"Apart from you being my girlfriend it was a thank you for doing this for me when you didn't have to" Percy said while smiling down at his girlfriend lovingly "now why don't we go hang out with our friends for the rest of the day before having to go to sleep?" he asked kindly.
Ruby just hummed and nodded, her eyes drooping slightly, it had taken a lot out of her to move as fast as she did when working on Percy's weapon, but knew that it was worth it if it meant she could go on another date with Percy, their first one had been awkward and was later ruined by that Torchwick guy.
As they started walking Percy noticed how tired Ruby looked and noticed that she was leaning against him to stay upright. Sighing Percy stopped and Ruby turned and looked at him questionably.
"What's wrong Rubes? You tired?" He asked concerned.
"It's nothing just a little tired from how fast I just moved," she tried reassuring him "maybe a little hungry as well" she added as an afterthought.
Smirking Percy went back to his backpack and pulled out an opaque container before walking back to Ruby who looked curiously at the container wondering what was inside it.
"I know they might not be fresh but I had the made originally for when we get back with the others but if you're hungry I suppose I can allow you a few now" Percy said as he took the lid off to reveal at least fifty blue cookies which made Ruby instantly lose her tiredness and start to drool.
Quickly Ruby devoured ten of the cookies before she was able to stop herself from devouring them all. Nervously Ruby grabbed another cookie and ate it slower than the before and when she was done with that grabbed one more before Percy closed the lid of the container.
"Come on before the others get to far away and we lose them" Percy said as he held the container in one hand and put his other arm around her shoulder.
As they started to walk around they found the group had gone back to where they were when they first met them that morning. As they got closer they were spotted by Nora who waved them over, getting the attention of the rest of the group who noticed them and smirked.
"So what took you two so long? Didn't get to heat did yah?" Kallen asked wiggling her eyebrows.
"If you must know Ruby was helping upgrade my weapon and got herself tired" Percy explained, annoyed at their friends.
"Oh I bet she did" Thalia muttered to Lisa who giggled before both of them noticed the container Percy was holding.
"What's in the container Perce?" Lisa asked curiously.
"Oh you know cookies that I was going to give to you guys I think I'll just keep them for me and Rubes here" Percy said nonchalantly making the others go wide eyed, they all were addicted to the cookies that he and his mother had created together just as much as Ruby.
"Wait now don't do anything rash now Perce" Thalia said nervously, besides Ruby she was addicted to his cookies since she had the original ones and the ones Percy made in Remnant "We're all joking right?
Everyone quickly nodded their head and Percy had to chuckle internally how much power he had over his friends just because of a simple cookie.
"I find it amusing how much influence over you guys cause of a cookie" Percy chuckled as he voiced his inner thoughts.
"Yeah, we're just lucky you're not the kind of person who wants lots of power huh Perce?" Thalia said with a smirk "now can we please have some cookies now?" she asked like a five year old.
"I guess it would be the polite thing to do huh?" Percy sighed before removing the lid and holding the container out for them "Well here you go." He said as they all started to grab a cookie each.
It only took a few minutes before the container was empty of its contents. The group just all sighed in content as they relaxed and let their food settle. After a while of just lazing around and chatting, Yang started to notice the sun's position.
"Hey guys we should probably head of to the ballroom to get some sleep" she suggested and when the others saw that the sun was setting they nodded before getting up and dusting themselves off.
As they walked Percy, Ruby and Thalia stayed at the back talking about random things before Ruby brought up the topic they had discussed before.
"You guys still need to fully explain to me what's going on, we were interrupted last time and I would like to know the full story" she said with serious.
"I promise we'll explain everything," Thalia said before looking at Percy "but I think we should wait till we know where we'll be staying and Percy has more of his memories back." She suggested.
Ruby looked a bit irritated that she'd have to wait to learn about her boyfriend's past, but soon let go of the irritation knowing that it wouldn't help Percy's memories come back any faster.
"Fine I guess" ruby sighed as she leaned her head against Percy's shoulder and wrapped her arms around his, pulling it slightly between her bust, something that made Percy blush. Something that went unnoticed by everyone though was the look of jealousy and longing that went across Thalia's face when she saw them and how they acted.
Thalia was brought out of her inner emotions when she noticed they had reached the ballroom. She saw that the other must have gotten there a few minutes before them because they had their sleeping bags all close by one another with three empty ones close by.
"These three for use?" Percy asked as he pointed to the three empty sleeping bag that were lying next to each other.
"Yeah we set them up for you guys 'cause you were taking a while" Lisa said before she noticed where Percy's arm was and smirked devilishly.
When he saw the smirk Percy was at first confused before he remembered where his arm was being held. It also seemed Ruby noticed because she quickly let go and they both blushed in embarrassment.
"I-I-I'm going to go get changed" Percy stuttered out as he grabbed a few clothes before walking to the male bathroom.
"I-I'm going t-to go do that as w-well, you coming T-Thalia?" Ruby asked as she grabbed her own pyjamas.
Thalia nodded her head and left to grab her stuff before heading to the female bathrooms.
Percy came out a few seconds after they left and sat down on the middle sleeping bag and putting his dirty stuff away before looking at everyone.
"So what were you guys talking about before we came?" Percy asked as he looked at the group who was smirking devilishly at him.
"Oh you know making bets on your relationship and stuff," Kallen said innocently "nothing to major really."
"Oh really and what would these bets be might I ask" even though this was said in an even voice they all could hear the dangerous edge in it, something that made the all sweat nervously because they knew that even though they were older Percy could still kick their asses.
"W-W-Well just s-stuff like h-how l-long y-you'll last, i-i-if o-one of y-you would ch-cheat on the other." Nora said nervously, being one of the easiest to crack.
Before Percy could say anything though, Thalia and Ruby arrived back and put their dirty clothes away and sat on the sleeping bags either side of Percy. Percy had to hide his face from his girlfriend when he saw how cute she looked in her pyjamas.
"So what were you guys talking about?" Ruby asked curiously as shifted to rest her head on Percy's shoulder.
"Apparently they were making bets on our relationship" Percy said with amusement as he watched their friends shift nervously.
Ruby just pouted at her friends "Why would you be making bets about us?" she asked.
"Umm we were just doing it for fun?" Yang said though it sounded more like a question.
Percy and Ruby just laughed at her attempt of an excuse and were quickly followed by the rest of the group, bar Yang who was just pouting playfully at them.
"Well I don't know about you guys but I'm heading off to sleep" Kallen said with a yawn and the others nodded before starting to get into their sleeping bags.
Soon the only people still up were Percy and Ruby, though the latter eyes were starting to droop from tiredness.
"Come on little rose let's get some sleep with have a big day tomorrow." Percy whispered to her and got a nod in response.
When Ruby lifted her head off of Percy's shoulder she leaned over and gave him a quick peck on the lips before getting into her sleeping bag with a smile on her face. Percy watched her fall asleep before he himself got into his sleeping bag and started to fall asleep.
Unknown to both of them Thalia had secretly watched the little display and a look of longing could be seen in her eyes as she watched them. After shaking the feeling off, she herself slipped into sleep as well dreaming about her past with a certain monkey Faunus.
So here's a new chapter of Reborn heroes in Remnant. So I'm starting to show what happened to Thalia and Percy, I'll be showing this through either flashbacks and them talking about it.
Also yes I changed Percy's weapon and made him design stuff, if you don't like then you don't have to read. His new weapon form will be shown in the next chapter.
Check out my other story if you want to read a Ben 10 x Percyjackson crossover, that will hopefully get updated this weekend.
Cya guys next time.
