Tempjg360: The start of Runen (Alexander)/ Weiss romance has not actually been started yet, right now there relationship is professional at best and enemies at worst for reasons explained in the next chapter.

*When Runen says "Oce." It is pronounced "Ah-sss"

**IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE ARMORS: Some of you may have noticed that the Armors have two names. The names are all caps: GOD, LEGION, and AUXILARY are there official names. Hastati, Triarii, and Calvary are human-esqe names that Ocelot gave them because it sounds more human.

Rain poured from the black storm clouds down the bloody stairwell that led to the outdoor plaza. Giant footprints dented the cement on the way to the plaza that currently three people were fighting. The three fought in a ring, a roughly circular shape created by the bodies of researchers and mining personnel who ha gathered for a bonfire that would never occur. The destroyed lay in the center, crushed into the giant footprint that encompassed where the fire once stood.

At one end stood a giant suit of armor colored platinum. The armor did not speak, for it's actions spoke for it. It wished to be free from its prison with his brothers who already were running for freedom. It wished to be free, GOD wished to be free. The armor readied itself to do battle against its opponents, the two men who oversaw his creation and development into being: Obsenovakav and Lanciere. The Roman Commander and the Knight who bore his resemblance.

GOD charged at the two and attempted to cut them both in half as Alexander jumped over the sword and Ocelot ducked beneath it. Alexander fired a rope arrow at the Armor and then at the wall in an effort to contain it, but the Armor GOD simply tore out the section of wall. Alexander dodged rolled out of the way of the wall and spoke, "Well, that didn't work…"

Ocelot charged and gave GOD a few slashes with his claymore. GOD started to lose pieces off his arm and chest, exposing the wiring underneath. GOD swung his sword and missed Ocelot again because Ocelot had jumped over it. GOD then quickly reversed the strike and cut Ocelot across the chest. Ocelot was flung backwards and landed hard against the wall, landing finally in a sitting position with the rest of the Bodies of the researchers, blood trickling down his armor. Alexander saw this and was enraged, "OCE!*"

GOD then spoke in the mechanic voice, "Target eliminated." Alexander slid under a horizontal style and jumped out of the way of a vertical one. The vertical one did catch his left arm, cutting it open. Alexander groaned in pain, "Terminate this GOD!" Alexander held out his left hand and it glowed dull yellow, lightning cracking down from the sky a second later, frying some of the internal components of GOD, but not killing it. Alexander ran over and slid his sword between the plates of GOD's Chest plate, piercing the white dust container that gave it life and individuality. The white dust reaction violently and exploded, sending Alexander straight to the ground.

As Alexander's vision cleared up, Ocelot limped over to Alexander and helped his up, "Your still freaking crazy." Was all Ocelot said.

"Aren't we all." Was Alexander's only reply as the white dust remnants of GOD rained down, "Aren't we all."

CHAPTER 2: Antium

Runen Woke up to Ocelot slapping his chest plate in order to cause the necessary noise required to wake the sleeping Roman soldier. Runen opened his eyes to see Ocelot squatting in from off him in full shining armor, "Wake up Runen, We have places to be, relics to find, and Grimm to kill."

Runen stood up and walked with Ocelot to the cafeteria, where he noticed an orange haired girl bouncing around a black haired male in green eastern-style clothing. Runen ignored him in favor of listening to the mildly entertaining argument between the Augustus Sibling: Matthias and Alexi.

"Alexi for the thousandth time, it doesn't take a rational human being three hours to do their hair if the end result is a simple ponytail." Matthias said as he banged his head against the table at the word thousandth.

"It is my first day at bloody beacon academy and I will damn well be presentable." Alexi said while scarfing down food.

"Yeah, a motor mouth with a vulgar mouth and no table manners, that sure is presentable, Well good luck with that sis. I am going to try to actually do something valuable with my time." Matthias said as he got up and left.

"My hair was valuable time well spent thank you very much!" Alexi said as her brother continued to walk away.

Matthias was sitting by the launch pads when Runen and Ocelot marched up, making them the first three there. Ocelot spoke first, "Nasty argument there with your friend."

Matthias snorted in laughter, "Hardly, Alexi and I argue like that all the time. It happens when one of you is adopted." Matthias motioned towards himself as he finished reassembling his weapon after cleaning it. Runen nodded then spoke with his hand thrust towards Matthias in greeting, "Runen Ornase. Happy to make your acquaintance."

"Ruslan Obsenovakav, but you can called me Ocelot, it is much easier."

"Matthias Augustus." Matthias took Runen's hand and gave it a firm handshake as Ozpin arrived with seemingly everyone else in the class. After Ozpin's speech and Jaune's seemingly dumb statement, Runen smirked to Matthias and Ocelot. As Ocelot saw the smirk he asked one simple question, "So, are we racing then?"

Runen deployed his shield from it's deactivated state on his arm to full readiness, "Absolutely…3…2…1…GO!" At Go, Runen was launched into the air, "Head start, Foul!" Ocelot complained slightly as he was launched right after him.

Yes, I am alive; I simply have been away from any source of Internet connection. The original intention was to post this and chapter 3 at the same time, but chapter 3 just crossed 3,000 words so it is taking a little bit longer to write…

So, I figured I would post this and announce that there is a poll on my page for the interaction of ROMA and RWBY. A lot of backstory in the next chapter (Specifically Ocelot and Alexi) so be prepped for that. Yes, I am making Matthias' backstory last.
