Kintin23: HELLO PEOPLES OF THE INTERNET! I'm back with chapter two of The D of Remnant. Hope you enjoy.

I also edited chapter 1 and changed some things. Go back and reread it, or don't but you might get confuzled.

On with the show!


Aston P.O.V.

"Aston? Aston!" Tai-Yang says while snapping his fingers in my face.

"Wai- what?" I say, being broken out of my thoughts.

"You zoned out for a minute there. What were you thinking about?" He asks me.

Shit! Think of something quick.

"Oh, well it's kind of a long-" I begin to say before being interrupted by the door slamming downstairs.

*SLAM!*

"DAAAAAAAAAD! I'M BACK!" I hear a girls voice call from downstairs. It sounds like Ruby.

"I'M UPSTAIRS! THE KID WOKE UP!" He calls back at the door before turning around and addressing me "Sorry about that, it seems my daughter just got back home."

"REALLY!?" She yells excitedly.

The next thing I know, the door flies open, revealing a red clad Ruby standing in the doorway.

"Ohwowwhatsyournamewhy'dyoucrashintothedoorwheredidyoucomefromareyouahuntsman?!" She says faster than I can comprehend before thankfully being interrupted by Tai-Yang.

"Ruby, calm down. I'm sure he will answer all of our questions." He says, calming her down.

I get up off the bed and walk over to her.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Aston Pendragon." I say offering her my hand.

Switching something she was holding into her other hand that I didn't notice before, she takes mine and shakes it.

"Ruby Rose. Likewise." She says curtly.

"Hey, Ruby? What ya got there?" Tai-Yang asks her, also noticing that she was holding something.

"OH! I don't really know. I just found it while visiting Mom and it looked interesting, so I brought it back so I could see what it was." She says while holding out the object for us to see. It's an odd, four sided, bright yellow, star shaped object covered in strange swirls with a green stem like piece protruding out of the tip of one of the points.

My eyes widen in recognition, which does not escape Tai-Yangs notice.

"You know what this is?" He asks curiously.

"Yeah. It's a devil fruit." I answer, though it only seems to confuse them more.

"What?" They reply in unison.

"Ok, listen up this is important, ok?" Two nods. "Ok, so a devil fruit is a supernatural object of unknown origin that grants its eater supernatural powers at the expense of taking away their ability to swim. Each one is unique, though, both in appearance and the power they give, and generally, you won't know what power you'll get until after you eat one." I say, informatively. "The one thing they all have in common is the rather conspicuous swirls on the surface of every fruit."

"Do you really expect us to believe that?" he says sceptically, though Ruby seems to have stars in her eyes at the prospect of gaining superpowers.

"Well, I probably wouldn't believe me either if I hadn't eaten one already." I say.

"You have! What power did you get?" Ruby says excitedly "Show me! Show me!"

Not wanting to disappoint, I hook my index finger on the edge of my mouth and pull, stretching it to an impossible degree.

"I ate the Gum-Gum Fruit, turning me into a rubber man!" I say with gusto. Ruby thought this was the coolest thing ever while Tai-Yang was obviously not expecting me to be able to show off a power that couldn't be explained as a semblance and was completely caught off guard before realizing something.

"Wait," he says "You played the superpower lottery and ended up being turned to rubber, and now you can't swim for the rest of your life? That sucks!" he says with a laugh.

I grin.

"Oh yeah, wanna fight me then? I'll have you know, I chose this one knowing what I was getting into." I say.

He completely deflates at this.

"It's stronger than it sounds, isn't it?" He explains defeated.

"Ohhhhhhh yeah. Definitely."

"Wait, if you knew what yours was before eating it, does that mean theres a way to tell what power it will give you?" Ruby asks.

"Yes, If you have this," I remove the devil fruit encyclopedia from my jacket and present it to them. "you can find out what power you'll get based off the appearance of the fruit."

"Now lets see what you have there."

Flipping through the book, I get about half way through before finding a matching picture.

"Ah, here we go, it says here you got the..." I begin before going pale.

"Aston? What's wrong? What fruit is it?" Tai-Yang says to me before he and Ruby comes to look at the page.

"The Glint-Glint Fruit?" says Ruby.

"Y-Yeah, Its a Logia class devil fruit that turns its eaters body to light. It's terrifyingly powerful." I explain "It was eaten by a Marine Admiral, and from where I come from, a single Marine Admiral is strong enough to decimate whole armies without breaking a sweat and can destroy whole islands with enough effort."

They pale at this realization.

"What's a Logia class?" Ruby asks.

"Oh, right I didn't tell you that yet. Devil fruits can be organized into three different categories. The first, and most common one is the Paramecia class. Any devil fruit power that gives the user a power that can affect their body, manipulate the environment, or produce substances, goes into Paramecia. My Gum-Gum Fruit is a paramecia type, for example. The second class is the Zoan class. This class of devil fruit allows the user to partially or completely turn into a specific animal dependant on the fruit eaten, like a lion, or even a bird, granting its eater the ability of flight. The third and final class of devil fruits is the Logia class. Logia class devil fruits allow a person to create, control, and transform their bodies into a natural element or force of nature, depending on the fruit. Most Logia types, including this one, make the user intangible and impossible to be harmed under normal circumstances." I explain.

"Wow." Ruby says in awe of my knowledge.

"Yep, devil fruits are pretty awesome. Anyways, you found it, so it's up to you what you want to do with it. Eat it, sell it, even throw it away, I won't stop you."

"Hmmmmm..." Ruby says in thought before making up her mind and handing it to me.

"You should eat it. I wouldn't know what to do with it and you clearly know your stuff so you would get the best use out of it anyways." She says cheerily.

I stare at the fruit in my hands for a few seconds before bursting out in laughter.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I appreciate the thought, Ruby, but just because I know about devil fruits doesn't mean I can use them to their fullest potential. It's like learning swordsmanship. You can read all you want, but you won't get anywhere without any real practice. Either way I couldn't eat it, though. You can only eat one devil fruit in your life. If you try to eat another one, you die." I say in a good natured tone.

"O-Oh..." She says dejectedly.

"Ruby, I think you should eat it. You're a fighter right?" I ask.

"Yeah, how'd you know?"

"That is clearly some sort of gun attached to your lower back and it's smoking, meaning you were just in a fight of some kind, and you are completely calm about it, meaning this is nothing new." I say, surprising both Ruby and Tia-Yang but for different reasons.

"Ruby..." Tai-Yang says in a frankly terrifying voice. "What were you fighting?"

"Beowolves..." She replies quietly.

"How many?" He asks in the same terrifying voice.

"...Around 30..." She says, even quieter this time.

"You're grounded." He says sternly.

"...OK..." She says dejectedly.

Oh, she must have just gotten back from the red trailer.

"What's a beowolf?" I ask, mainly because I will need my aura unlocked later and I need an explanation for why all these devil fruits came out of no where. The 'I'm from a different dimension' excuse will work pretty well, and considering the supernatural effects of devil fruits and the fact that I'm the only one who knows about them, it shouldn't be too hard to convince them.

"How do you not know what a beowolf is, they are literally the most common Grimm around!?" Ruby asks surprised.

"I'm from another universe, I thought this would be obvious by now." I say, brushing off her question.

"Another universe? I may be gullible, but not even I'm gullible enough to believe that!" She says indignantly.

"I believe him." Tai-Yang says, surprising both me and Ruby.

"You do!?" We both exclaim.

"I thought that would take more convincing."

"Well the giant inexplicable glowing door floating in the sky that you fell out of is pretty convincing." He explains way too nonchalantly.

"GIANT GOLDEN DOOR!" We both yell out before bolting out of the house to look at what he's talking about.

Getting outside, Ruby and I look up to see that, yes, there was in fact a giant golden door floating in the sky. Usually that would have disappeared by now, but I guess that's my way back home after I finish whatever it is I need to do here. The door is actually pretty interesting. I didn't get a good look at it from the other side, but it is a large, arch shaped, double door, clearly made of gold or a similar substance. It is around 10 meters tall and has many intricate designs, none of which I can make out from here save one. In the centre of the door is a larger than life version of the straw hats jolly roger.

"Hehehe. Yeah I reacted like that too when I first saw it a few hours ago. So, you wanna explain whats going on?" Tai-Yang says while walking up behind both me and Ruby, who are both still completely, for lack of a more accurate word, flabbergasted.

Collecting myself, I reply.

"Yeah, so I wasn't entirely honest when I implied that I was from the same world that the devil fruits are from." I begin "I actually went to sleep in my bed before waking up in a weird temple place with all the devil fruits. The only reason I knew what they were was because they where a major element in one of my favourite stories from back home. After I ate one, that door appeared and sucked me in, before spitting me out here."

Both of them, pretty used to being surprised, don't have too large of a reaction to learning I'm from another dimension from my powers and that they themselves are a third dimension in all this.

Tai-Yang adopts a thoughtful look, though, and Ruby has stars in her eyes at the prospect of learning about this story.

"So these devil fruits are from a story!?" she asks "Can you tell it to me? well, can you? Can you, can you, can you, can you, can you!?"

"Ok, I'll tell you, but wait for tomorrow, ok? It's starting to get late." and it was. This whole time it's been nighttime. For all I know it could be close to midnight. That's unlikely though, because Tai-Yang would never let Ruby visit her moms grave that late.

"Ohhhhhhh I can't wait!" she says before zipping off in a cloud of rose petals into the house, leaving me and Tai-Yang behind.

I turn to face him.

"So, you wouldn't mind if I sleep over at your place tonight, do ya?" I ask him in a good natured tone.

"When does it start?" He asks me simply. What is he talking about?

"When does what start?" I ask him, confused.

"The story. I'm not dumb, Aston, I noticed you recognized my name when I told it to you. I thought that was because you've heard of team STRQ before, or something, but I had forgotten about it until you told me that you got the powers from a story. That's when I realized that this must also be a story you heard read. The story hasn't started yet, though, because nothing interesting has happened for quite a while. So, to reiterate, when does it start?"

Shit, Tai-Yang isn't a member of team STRQ for nothing. I never thought he would be this observant, though.

"Beacon." I reply simply "Ruby gets in two years early because of a recommendation from Ozpin after an issue arises with one of his 'Guardians'. One gets attacked and he needs a Silver Eyed Warrior but Ruby's not trained yet."

"You have a plan to stop anything bad from happening, right?" He asks me in a serious tone.

"Don't worry. I can't stop everything but I have a plan for anything that they can't handle. By the way, where's Yang?" I ask.

"She's spending the night with some friends."

"Was she here when I fell out of the sky?"

"Yeah, she was. I honestly thought she was gonna have a heart attack when you slammed into the door right when she was leaving." He laughs.

"Anyways, we better get some shut eye, it's getting late. But tomorrow you're going to tell me everything you can remember about the story, got that?" He says in a slightly threatening tone as we start to head inside.

"Yeah yeah, I was planning on it, Just a warning though, I have no Idea what might have changed with the introduction of devil fruits. The Glint-Glint Fruit wasn't the only on to come through that door with me. Can I sleep in the same bed I woke up in?."

"Yeah, see you tomorrow. It's going to be a long day." He says with a sigh.

"G'night" I say as I head back into my room, passing both Yang's and Ruby's rooms in the process, though I don't know which is which. Getting in bed I turn out the lights to think about whats to come.

*Sigh* This is going to be a long few years.


Kintin23: Yay! Finally done chapter two. Just so you know, I'm putting Beacon on a regular school year schedule. That means that school starts in September and ends in June. The current time is December and there is almost a full year until canon starts. Anyways, Kintin23 Out!
