Remnant's Saiyan
Dragon Ball Z - RWBY Crossover
Chapter 1: Arrival
Age 735...
On Planet Vegeta, home of the Saiyans, a Saiyan warrior arrived on the planet alongside his partner Bardock. The entire Saiyan race had been recalled to their home planet for reasons not revealed to them, and it seemed Bardock was suspicious of that fact.
"What are you saying Bardock?" The Warrior asked.
"I think Frieza is bringing us all home to kill us." Bardock clarified.
"That's insane, an act like that would cripple his army!" The Warrior argued.
"True, I am only saying that it is a possibility. Think about it we're a race that prides itself in how well we fight and kill planets this would be the perfect chance." Bardock replied.
"Besides Frieza's never liked us and name one Saiyan that's ever liked him. This would cripple his army but with his power I doubt Frieza would bat an eye." Bardock continued.
"To him every last one of his army especially us are just expendable. But like I said it's just a possibility so try to keep quite about this." Bardock requested as the two Saiyans parted ways.
Once they departed, the Warrior made his way to his home where his family was. When he arrived, the Warrior rejoined his small family made up of his wife and two sons, one of which had been born recently and, thanks to the recall, was still on Vegeta. If the recall had not happened, his newborn would be on another planet for conquer already.
As the rest of the day went on, the Warrior remained silent, not saying much to his family. He thought about what Bardock said over and over again. It made sense that the adults were brought back, but why were the children ordered to stay put. The Saiyan warrior knew Bardock for a long time and he was one to pick up tactics like this easily and it was rare that he was wrong making it seem more real.
Eventually as he laid in bed he came to the conclusion that Bardock had to have been right and Frieza was going to kill the Saiyan race. So, in the middle of the night, he snuck out with his youngest son in tow and programmed a pod to go to a far-off planet that would be easy to conquer. He was sure that if his son managed to take over the planet like any true Saiyan could, he could become strong enough to start the Saiyan race over again.
That being said, that would only be if Frieza would kill them all. If he weren't going to, the higher-ups would have his ass for an unsanctioned launch, but he wanted his son to at least continue on the tradition of the Saiyan race since children like him are supposed to be sent off. As he sent his son off, he looked up to see a giant ball of energy about to hit the planet, regretting not getting a pod for himself.
"Guess Bardock was right." The Warrior thought as the ball made impact with the planet.
"Well, shit." The Warrior cursed as he was obliterated along with Planet Vegeta.
As Planet Vegeta was destroyed in the distance, the pod slowly made its way towards its destination. However, unbeknownst to the occupant, he was being watched by a ship not too far away. Inside the ship contained one of the most powerful beings in the galaxy, the brother of Frieza, Cooler.
"Lord Cooler, a Saiyan pod has seemed to escape the destruction of Planet Vegeta. Should we destroy it?" Salza asked.
"No, let it go. If it comes back to bite Frieza in the ass, then it is on him." Cooler ordered.
"But Lord Cooler, what if it holds a strong warrior that might threaten both you and Frieza?" Salza questioned.
"The odds of that are extremely slim, and besides, no Saiyan monkey could ever match up to Frieza's power, much less mine, so let it be, it holds no significance." Cooler answered.
"Now, make course for the next planet for conquer." Cooler ordered.
As Cooler and his forces left the area, the pod continued on its course however, during its travel, it was struck by an asteroid sending it off course. This caused the pod to drift endlessly for twelve long years until it crashed onto a planet with a broken moon. However, thanks to the stasis systems in the pod the infant inside neither aged nor woke up in the flight.
12 Years Later...
Remnant...
Deep in the forests of Anima, a lone orange-haired huntress was wondering through after defeating several Grimm that were about to attack a nearby village. This woman was Scarlet Shin, a veteran huntress and tiger faunus who specializes in her martial arts and skills with her staff, which she mostly uses against Grimm. Scarlet was walking back to her home town of Saiyatown until she saw a giant ball of flame descend from the sky.
"What was that?" Scarlet asked herself as she went to investigate.
As a huntress, it was her job to protect the people, and in case this meteorite was dangerous, she had to make sure it didn't cause any harm to the people. Scarlet made her way through the brush, pushing past branches and bushes until she finally arrived at her destination. What she saw confused her. Instead of a burnt rock as she expected, she found a metallic ball in the center of a crater made from the impact.
"This is out of my expertise, but since I'm the only one here." Scarlet sighed as she got closer to investigate.
She began to think that this was one of Atlas's new toys until she got up close and saw that it was more advanced than anything she has ever seen. As she circled it to get a better look, she heard the faint sound of crying coming from the pod. Scarlet rushed to the front of the pod, where she looked through the window to see what the pod contained. To her utter surprise, she saw a small baby lying inside crying.
"Oh no!" Scarlet cried with concern. She circled the pod frantically, looking for a way to open it until she finally found the button that opened the pod door.
When she finally opened the pod, a rush of cold air escaped the inner chamber. It was as if the entire inside had been frozen and was in the process of being thawed out. Scarlet took a mental note of that as she picked up the infant that laid inside. As she inspected the baby, she found that the child was a male faunus due to his monkey tail confusing her greatly.
"Why would anyone fire a pod containing a baby? Especially Atlas, who is known for discriminating faunus. But they would never do something like this...right?" Scarlet wondered.
Pushing through her confusion, she began to try and find out who the child was and where the pod came from. If it was not from Atlas, then where? Sadly, she could find no note or and writing that could tell her about it. She eventually concluded that whoever made the pod used it to abandon the child inside, and the very thought made her sick to her stomach.
"Well, I guess nothing here is harmful, but what should I do with you?" Scarlet questioned as she held the child in front of her.
She looked at the baby, who began to laugh in her arms, which brought a small smile to her face. Seeing as the baby had no home to speak of, she decided to take him with her to her home for the time being until she found someone to take the child. Before she could leave, she had to decide what to do with the pod. Seeing that it could be relevant in finding out who the child was, she decided to come back to take it home as well later.
It took Scarlet two whole hours to get back home due to now having to carefully avoid any, if not all, interaction with Grimm to protect the baby. As she entered her home, she prepared a small makeshift crib to put the baby in and find him something to eat. While doing this, she pondered on what she should call the child, seeing that for the foreseeable future, he would be staying with her, she should at least give him a name.
She continued to think about the possibilities as she began to give the boy some milk. "Hmm, what would you call a child? I am so bad with names I feel like I am the wrong person for this." Scarlet thought aloud.
"I never even had a pet before! What am I supposed to do?" Scarlet questioned as the boy finished the milk she gave him. Once done, the baby cried, still hungry surprising Scarlet. Eventually, she gave the child her entire gallon of milk, finally satisfying the boy's appetite.
"I don't know much about baby's, but I'm pretty sure that's not natural." Scarlet sweatdropped as the baby fell asleep.
Then she thought about her father, the man who adopted her. He saved her life by giving her a home, raising her all on his own. It reminded her of her current situation with the baby, causing she cracked a small smile. "Yes, that name is perfect for you. From now on, your name is Jason in honor of my father, who saved me." She stated as she picked up the boy.
"And until we find you a permanent home, you're staying with me!" exclaimed Scarlet. The baby, now named Jason, was laughing happily in the hands of his "temporary" adoptive mother.
After putting Jason to bed, Scarlet began to wonder what she would do with the pod. She pondered if she should have it examined by some scientists, but she concluded that it would be a bad idea for they would also take away Jason. So, in the end, Scarlet decided that the best course of action would be to hide the pod and only tell people she trusts about it. After that, she decided it was time for her to get some rest and went to bed.
The next morning, Scarlet took Jason into town to introduce him to the people in town. Scarlet asked if anyone could take care of him, seeing as a huntress who was currently single would not be the best caretaker. Everyone there was very excited to see a new addition to their small town, but no one could take him in. As she roamed the town, the mayor eventually convinced her to adopt the boy fully, and while she was on missions, the town would take care of him.
After the first few months, Scarlet was getting used to her new son, and while on her missions, the townspeople had a fun time taking care of Jason. Of course, the first thing she warned her neighbors about Jason was of his enormous appetite. Eventually, this routine became normal as Scarlet finally got the pod back to her home, placing it secretly in the basement of her home.
Once she did so, Scarlet called in a favor with her old friend Professor Ozpin from her days at Beacon academy. It still surprised her to see her former classmate as the headmaster of the most prestigious huntsman academy on Remnant. But if she knew one person she could trust, it was him. Especially since she didn't want Ironwood to find out about Jason seeing as he would most likely freak out.
In the end, Ozpin trusted her to take care of Jason just like the people of Saiyatown did, so for the next twelve long years, she raised Jason as her son. It was hard at first especially with how much the boy ate but over time she began to love the child as her own. During that time, she homeschooled the boy, drilling education into his head no matter how much he complained and begun his training.
12 Years Later...
Jason was now a young boy whose hair had grown short yet spikey he was training under his mother so that one day he too can become a strong huntsman like her. During this time, she did not tell him about where she had found him and planned not to tell him until he was older. Currently, he was practicing his martial arts skills with his mother, his favorite part of training. His tail wrapped around his waist like hers for better mobility and because they discovered that grabbing onto his tail caused him great pain.
"Come on, are you even trying?!" Scarlet yelled across to Jason, who was across the field where they were training. Scarlet and Jason were currently sparring, and Scarlet had just put Jason to the ground on his rear.
"Of course, I am mom. I was just getting warmed up." Replied Jason as he hopped back onto his feet.
"You need to stop this bad habit of not going all out in a fight. Your enemy will not show you the same courtesy I show you in battle." Scarlet responded.
"But it's more fun this way. If I went all out then, the fight would be over to soon." Jason complained.
"Just because you're strong doesn't mean you're able to beat everyone technique and skill are equally important in battle," Scarlet advised as she got back to fighting position.
"True, but I'm really REALLY strong!" Jason smiled as he crouched down to his fighting stance.
Scarlet sighed in annoyance. Even though he gets cocky like that, she has acknowledged that her son had surpassed her in terms of strength long ago, but in skill and technique-wise, she still was superior. When she first began teaching the boy how to fight when he was eight years old, she was surprised at how quickly he learned how to fight and even more so on his amazing speed at which he gained strength. It seemed unnatural, but she decided not to tell him that.
It almost seemed that every time he was pushed down or hurt, he came back much stronger than he was before. Thinking about this made her think back when he was nine years old. She was so scared at the sight in front of her. Her child was lying unconscious with blood over his face, for his aura was not unlocked.
He had been playing outside alone when an Ursa came and attacked him out of nowhere. The Ursa had hit him across the top right of his head with such force that he was sent flying into a tree and passed out. When she saw this, she went into a rage, quickly dispatching the Ursa and going to check on Jason. While he was in no life-threatening danger, the attack did leave a single big slash scar on his forehead above his right eye.
Afterward, he was unconscious for three whole days, and when he finally woke up, it relieved her to no end. However, when he did wake up, something very mysterious happened. Before he could be very violent and, at times, hard to deal with, but now, he seemed very cheerful and happy like a normal boy.
Not only that, but his strength seemed to increase immensely, and was eager to grow even stronger, almost as if the attack changed him more ways than one. Although Scarlet was hesitant about letting him go down this path due to that scare, she eventually agreed to continue training him.
"Now, if only he learned not to hold back, I would be more convinced that he can be a huntsman." Scarlet thought.
"Alright, here I come, haaaaaaa!" Jason screamed as he charged forward towards his mother.
Scarlet was snapped out of her thoughts as Jason began to charge at her. She brought up her hands to defend herself. She was quickly pushed back by his overwhelming strength. As she was being pushed back, she looked for an opening in the barrage of punches and kicks for a counterattack.
She soon saw her opening and swept at Jason's feet out from under him. However, surprisingly he saw this coming and jumped up, avoiding her attack. Jason smirked at this, finally outsmarting his mother in battle, or so he thought as she quickly responded with a swift uppercut to his chin. Scarlet's attack threw Jason back to the ground once more, and now defenseless, Scarlet pinned Jason down, forcing him to submit.
"I give! I give!" Jason said as Scarlet got off him.
"Well, I have to admit you surprised me there for a second, but as always, you are too slow for the follow-up attack," Scarlet explained to her son, who was picking himself back up.
"Yeah, well still, I am improving. I can feel myself getting stronger and better." Exclaimed Jason.
"Well, I think that will be all for today. Let's go home for dinner." Said Scarlet as she picked up her things and started walking home with Jason following suit excitedly.
After they finished eating dinner, Jason went to watch TV while Scarlet looked through job requests seeing what work she could do next. Suddenly the news turned on to the TV talking about recent attacks brought about by the White Fang. This made Scarlet frown while she did agree with the idea of faunus equality that the White Fang stood for, especially when it began, she did not agree with their current actions and always advised Jason to avoid helping them or being around them.
Jason also agreed with his mother's sentiments. While he did grow up around other faunus like him and humans who accepted him, he knew full well of the prejudice that the faunus encountered and felt terrible about it. However, Jason also thought that the White Fang's current actions were too harsh and cruel.
While both mother and son were focused on the news report, a message appeared on Scarlet's scroll. She had received a mission to take out a hoard of Grimm near Mistral. Before she could say anything, Jason spoke up
"Did you get a new mission mom?" Jason asked.
"Yes, it seems that I will be away for a few days, so be good and take care of the house while I am gone." She answered.
"Ah man! Now how am I going to train without someone to spar?!" Jason cried.
"Don't be a drama queen Jason. It's only going to be a few days." Responded Scarlet.
"First it's drama king and second I know, but still, when can I go to an official school or academy to train to be a huntsman or even train with your master, the way you describe how strong he is, I would love to train with him. Plus, you never talk about how training went with him. You always seem so tense when I ask." Jason pointed out.
"Well, to go in order, it's because you're too young to apply. I don't want you training with him, and 1st rule of Kai's training." Scarlet replied, feeling a chill run down her spine of the thought of her training with her old master Kai.
"I don't get it, but okay." Jason conceded, confused by what his mother last said.
"It would also help if you found yourself a man. You seem so alone when your not with me, and I always wanted a dad to spar with." Jason pointed out.
"What! M-My love life is none of your business, young man. For all you know, I choose to be single." Scarlet defended.
"But I always see you on that dating app...what was it called Huntsman and Huntress Only," Jason replied.
"YOU SAW THAT?! I mean no, that's not at all what that was!" Scarlet yelled, embarrassed at being found out by her son.
"So, when do you leave mom?" Jason asked to change the subject.
"First thing tomorrow morning, and if all goes well, I will be back in four days, five at most," Scarlet answered.
"Okay, I guess I can exercise and shadow box until you get home," Jason replied.
"Or you can go to town and make some friends instead of training all the time because if anyone needs to meet some new people, it's you," Scarlet suggested. She loved that her son liked to spend time with her, but she was concerned that he had to friends to speak of, and he spent most of his time training.
"But there is no one my age in town and no likes to fight there, so it's just boring," Jason complained sulkily.
"Well, at least try, I am not going to be here forever, you know, and someday you're going to be on your own, so I don't want you to be all alone," Scarlet replied. Little did she know her words held more meaning than she knew as Scarlet set off the next morning, not knowing that it would be the last time she would see Jason.
It took a whole week before the news of Scarlet's death reached Jason as his face grew distraught at the knowledge. It seemed there was more Grimm than initially thought, and Scarlet and most of the other huntsman and huntresses sent on the mission did not make it back. All that was left of Scarlet that they found was her staff. It was given to Jason as a memento of her.
The townspeople agreed to take care of Jason's financial needs until he was of age, but they saw little of Jason for the first month after Scarlet's death. During Jason's time in seclusion, his mother's last words to him kept coming to mind "Well at least try, I am not going to be here forever, you know, and someday you're going to be on your own, so I don't want you to be all alone."
He kept thinking of those words over and over and took them to heart. However, while he liked the people of Saiyatown, Jason could not connect to them as he did with his mother. Nor could Jason have any fights his heart and blood desired, so he came up with a plan. When Jason finally came out of his seclusion, he had a plan in mind to find his mother's old master and train under him so that he can be strong enough to explore Remnant so that he could make many friends so that he could make his mother happy.
While he had little to go on to where he is, Jason knew he would find him, and so with all his belongings that he could carry. Jason left home after saying goodbye to his mother at the shrine he made with her staff and went on to his new life. Little did he know that the path he took would take him to become one of the strongest people on the planet and its savior.
Jason begins his adventure looking for his mother's mysterious old teacher Kai, he has searched for two whole months and has come up empty. However, an opportunity arrives that will decide his fate. What will Jason do to pursue his dreams? Find out next time!
Author's note:
Hi this is my first fanfic, and I worked hard on this chapter. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it, especially the TFS references, which will occur a lot but not too much. I don't really have a release schedule set for this, but if you want to see more, just leave a review saying so. Till next time.
P.S: Future or present ThatSaiyaGuy here I just wanted to let you know that my Saiyan character here will be weaker than you would imagine at first because I don't want him to be super OP. I realize that he should be way stronger than everyone here already but I didn't want that for the first part of my story later on he will be as strong as you would expect from a Saiyan. Besides the story at first would be super boring if the character was too op but eventually like I said he will be very strong like a Saiyan should be.
