Legends. Stories scattered through time. Mankind has grown quite fond of recounting the exploits of heroes and villains, forgetting so easily that we are remnants, byproducts, of a forgotten past.
Man, born from dust, was strong, wise, and resourceful, but he was born into an unforgiving world. An inevitable darkness – creatures of destruction – the creatures of Grimm – set their sights on man and all of his creations. These forces clashed, and it seemed the darkness was intent on returning man's brief existence to the void.
However, even the smallest spark of hope is enough to ignite change, and in time, man's passion, resourcefulness, and ingenuity led them to the tools that would help even the odds. This power was appropriately named "Dust".
Nature's wrath in hand, man lit their way through the darkness, and in the shadow's absence came strength, civilization, and most importantly, life. But even the most brilliant lights eventually flicker and die. And when they are gone... darkness will return.
So you may prepare your guardians, build your monuments to a so-called "free world", but take heed... there will be no victory in strength.
Salem
(On the ship to Beacon Academy, Above Vale City)
(Third Person's POV)
"Wooah" Alex looking up the window to the view of the Vale city
"The city's bigger than I expected" he said
"Gator you're seeing this?" Said Rikio through the comm at Gator, UNS Atlas Officer on the deck
"Clearly" answered Gator
The view of the City as the ships fly it way to beacon Academy, the three men from earth has finally arrived on Remnants, on their way to Beacon they saw many students from across the continent.
Alex Richard, the blondie now wear an extra knee pad, shoulder pad and chest plate behind his zipped gray hoodie, a pair of combat gloves and a tomahawk on his belt. Wearing a cargo pants as he said are the most practical after combat pants.
Rikio in the other hand stayed the same except with an extra knifes and a knee pads.
Riley changed from his military uniform to a white shirt along with a blue jeans and a gloves on his right hand. He keeps his left hand bare since he like it that way, still with a katana strapped onto his back.
"I don't wanna be the bee's knees okay? I don't wanna be any kind of knees!"
"Bees!? On the ship? Where!?" Said Alex almost freak out
"chill out dude, it's not an actual bee's, those girls are just chatting along." Said Rikio, they saw two girls, one wearing a gothic red and black skirt and one with the long blondie hair with a nice pair of racks- I mean Gauntlets.
"Ooh right." Said Alex
"Hey aren't the girl with the red hood seems, too young to attend academy?" Alex
"ooh right, how old is she? 15?" he said
"Maybe, but we got a 16 years old soldier here" said Rikio speaking about Riley who were right next to them the whole time
"I heard that" he said going back to his device on his hand as the two of em chuckled
"… The robbery was led by a nefarious criminial Roman Torchwick, who continuous to evade authorities…" The TV hologram on the window pop out caught everyone attention as it shows the picture of Roman Torchwick, the Criminal.
"Looks like this place got a bunch of asshole who steal and rob people's stuff too eh?" Said Alex
The next news that suddenly popped out are the news about the recent activity of the White Fang, the three men already knows about the White Fang, Faunus and any other faction of terrorism and threat that are currently happening in Remnants before they landed.
Suddenly the news disappeared revealing a blonde woman, glasses, formal suits along with a purple cape. "Hello and welcome to Beacon
"Who's that?" Alex and the Blonde Woman (Yang) said together at the same time as they both caught each other eyes at the same times for a second and turn back to the hologram.
"My name is Glynda Goodwitch" she said and an "ooh" from the two blondies.
"…You are among the privileged few who have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious Academy! Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future huntsman and huntress, it is your duty to uphold it." She said continuously welcoming the students aboard the ship
"Uuh Rikio, don't you feel unease since we're not actually aiming to be a huntsman but still attend the academy?"
"hm, feels like we don't belong here to be honest" said Riley, he doesn't speak much.
It's true the three boys from earth felt… that they don't belong here, they don't know many about the Remnants, the creature of grimms, etc.
The hologram showing Glynda suddenly disappeared and students aboard the ships start looking in awe at the view as the ship has finally arrived at the academy of Beacon.
"Gator, we've arrived." Said Riley
"Solid Copy Riley, proceed normally don't talk too much, try to blend in, good luck" said Gator
"Urrgh E-excuse me urrgh" suddenly another Blondie (Why there's so much blonde hair characters in this story?) stumbling around holding his right hand to his mouth, motion sickness.
"Someone's having a bad day…" said Alex
*Time Skip*
The Ship land safely and sound at the beacon's Academy dock. The doors opened and the students excitedly walk outside, almost all of em except for vomit boy. Who stumbled across and finally as he found a trash bin and puked inside
"uuh is he okay?" said Alex
"he's fine, let's keep walking" said Rikio
Every new students walk their way and arrived at the Beacon's academy front courtyard, surprisingly large and wide.
"Welcome to Beacon" said Gator
"Thank you Gator" Answered Rikio
On their way the meet again with the two girls they saw back at the ship, the one with the red hood are squealing excitedly as more people walk around with weapons.
"That kid again" said Rikio
"yeaa she must be a weapon maniac" Alex said
"Easy there Little sister, they're just weapons"
"Just weapons? They're an extensions of ourself they're part of us, so Cool..." Said the Little red hood
"why don't you just swoon at your own weapons, aren't you happy with it?" said the blondie with the gauntlets
The little red suddenly open up her scythe, big red scythe from her back which caught Riley surprised a bit, Rikio attentions, and a jaw drop from Alex.
"Okay… what the hell?" he said
"That's an impressive scythe she got there" said Riley
"Ha of course, I'm not surprised with these kind of thing, what next? They're also a gun?" Rikio Joked, not knowing what he just said and waiting in the future for him.
"So what now? We go to our dorm or… we head somewhere else?" asked Alex looking around in confused
"hmm, we head to the lobby firs, they said they're gonna-"
"WATCH WHERE YOU GOING YOU DORK!" a white haired girl yelled all sudden caught everyone attentions, including the three boys, the little red hood seems had just crashed into a pile of briefcases owned by the white hairess.
(Ruby's POV)
Oh god I didn't mean to crash into these mess right here "I'm so sorry, here let me-" I was trying to help her by picking up her cases when suddenly she took it from my hand all sudden, I was a bit shocked
"Do you know what is inside this briefcase? Dust, Mined and purified straight from the schnee quarry and you crashed and saying sorry?!" she yelled
"uuh…"
"Do you have any idea the damage you could've cost?" she yelled, I don't what I'm supposed to do… Yang ditch me and left, now I have to deal with this? Great…
She keeps wabbling about the contents of her briefcase, she took one of the bottle and shake it as she keeps yelling at me, the dust caught up in my nose. I tried my best not to sneeze but it's just… way… too hard.
"aaaah-CHOO!" and I sneezed.
Causing the dust to suddenly explode in front of us.
(Back to Alex's POV)
"Holy...shit" I swore
"Didn't know dust could do that" Riley said
"Unbelievable!" the white hair young lady yelled and yelled and yelled all over the little red hood girl… again, I glared at Rikio he signal his hand to keep moving so we did
"Hey I said I was sorry, Princess!"
" Heiress actually, Weiss Schnee, Heiress to the Schnee dust Company, one of the largest energy propellant producer in remnants" said another lady with in black and white outfits walking towards the two.
"Finally some recongnition-"
"The same company infamous for infamous for its controversial labor forces and questionable business partners" she said as we walk away, trying to ignore them but still something would happen
(U.N.S Atlas)
(The Captain's POV)
"…And They've arrived sir!" Said Gator
The Captain nodded his head "Alright make sure those guys doesn't spill anything about us at the moment, we don't have any permission from the government from Remnants, specially the Atlas Kingdom, we don't want any trouble with these guys" I commanded
"Yes sir" Answered Gator returning to his work on the monitor
I went back to my desk, with a cup of coffee and sit, suddenly Daniels appear
"Dan, what is it?"
"So… no permission from the government eh?" he said
"Yes, this is the only way to do so… Earth want us to study but I would like us to get closer than just study them, so this is my plan. Our Command back in earth probably had the same Idea but the real intentions is to create barrier of territory and spaces across the galaxy so our ship can be deployed to the safe spots, Phantoms activity has decreased over the years, so I'm kinda having a bad feeling about it" I said
Phantoms… those guys almost destroy earth Ten years ago, we've been fighting against those guys whenever they appeared and made contact with. Manhattan… Tokyo…
"Sir, sending those 3 or 4, or maybe 5! Is it a good idea I mean, you know how human on earth is different with these people… we've seen how they act in action, they had some kind of power, Aura as doc said, some of em can recover really quick and not like us."
"Doctor Evellete also said that not all remnants had their aura so there are still some people out there without power just like us, we don't use power Dan, we use Skill, Technology, and Science. Those 3 I believe would be dangerous enough… and the Phantom have 3 of it…" I said taking a sip of my coffee
"Alex had a strong prosthetic arm and an AI inside it. Rex… well he's always like that since he was born, Rikio had a crazy skill of knifes, and Riley… Almost the same as his father. With all due respect earth do have powers Captain, but not majority of us."
"I know about that Dan… I know" the door to my office opened
"Captain we got a transmission from earth!" said a petty officer
"Thank you Lieutenant I'll be right over there" I said getting up from my desk and look at Danny once again "Dan, everything's should be fine… we'll make what happen back on earth doesn't happen here all over again, I gotta speak with earth talk to you later" I said leaving my office.
