Alright, I Guess I'm ready for the first Episode, Man this took a long time (Over a year!?), sorry for that, anyway I do not own Phantasy Star Online 2 or RWBY, They belong to Sega and Rooster teeth Respectfully, I only own my OC's All right… lets Roll
Beacon Academy, XX/XX/XXXX(*1), Student Dorms
Inside one of the most popular combat schools in all of Remnant lies a team of talented Huntresses-in-training, team RWBY. Ruby Rose, a weapon nut and the leader of the team turned 16 not to long ago strong(*2), Weiss Schnee, the heiress of the Schnee Dust Company, Blake Belladonna, a Faunus and former member of the Faunus Extremist group The White Fang, and Yang Xiao Long, the half sister of Ruby and brawler with a fiery personality, as well as a self proclaimed pun master. These four girls are getting ready for the semi annual Vytal Tournament, and by getting ready, they are laying round their dorm room. Ruby is laying down on her bed reading a brand new weapon catalog that has just come out, Weiss is doing maintenance on her multi action dust Rapier, Myrtenaster, Blake is reading one of her 'personal' novels, and Yang playing on her scroll. A month has past since the breach, where the Grimm entered tried to enter the kingdom of Vale, but were stopped by the kingdoms huntsman/huntresses, huntsman in training, and the Atlesian Military. Team RWBY has been training and resting ever since that day, the day is getting closer for when they compete in the tournament, and they are aiming for the top.
Suddenly there is a knock on the other side of their dorm room, "Coming!" Ruby says getting up from her bed and walking towards the door. As she opens the door she sees the Beacons combat instructor, Glynda Goodwitch, "Oh hello professor." Ruby says, "Professor Ozpin would like to speak to all of you, come." Glynda tells the team, before walking, there's a brief moment where the members of Team RWBY look at each other before following their professor, they follow her to Opzin's office near the top of Beacon Tower, once they exit the elevator not only do they see the headmaster behind his desk, they also see the General of the Atlesian Military, James Ironwood, standing nearby. "Hello Team RWBY, I hope you are well after the breach." Ironwood says to the students, "We're fine, but shouldn't you be coordinating security for the festival?" Weiss asks the general, who smiles, "Don't worry, I'm just taking a small moment to discuss something we've picked up with your professor." Ironwood says, turning to Ozpin, "What do you mean?" asks Ruby before professor Ozpin talks, "A few days after the breach, strange radio signals have been appearing randomly, it appear to be coming south of Mountain Glenn," "Could it be the White Fang?" Blake Asks, "It's not likely, if they were planning another attack, they wouldn't risk open comms that we can easily track. Now I would like to investigate myself, but due to having to stay for security reasons, I decided that I need help." Ironwood says, "Which is where I guess we come in." Yang says, where Ozpin nods, "You'll be going to this location with Oobleck, if there is a White Fang base there you are to come back immediately, understood?" Ozpin tells the students who nod, "There is a bullhead already waiting for you along with your teacher, Best of luck out there." Ironwood says with a smile as Team RWBY heads back into the Elevator, Once they reach the ground floor they head to the landing pad, where their airship is waiting
South of Mountain Glenn, XXXX/XX/XX, 2:30 PM
Doctor Oobleck and team RWBY jump off the bullhead as hover close to the ground, it then flies away from the landing zone, the group of teacher and students proceed to walk forward to their destination. "Alright prof-" "Doctor!" Yang starts before Oobleck interrupts her, "sorry, Doctor, what is in this area anyway?" Yang asks. "Excellent question Ms. Xiao Long, you see this area is known for its mysterious ruins that predate the Kingdom of Vale itself, within one of the buildings is a door that has never been open ever since the ruins been discovered, no amount of brute force could open the door. Until a few days after the breach there was an strange signal coming from this area as you know, not only that but Grimm have been disappearing, we believe that something has activated, and if my theory is correct, we may be able to see what is inside," Oobleck explains. "Now come along girls, we have quite the distance to walk," he says as he starts walking After walking for a few minutes something seems strange, "Um, does anyone else feel off?" Ruby asks, "What do you mean sis?" Yang asks. "Where is all the Grimm?" Ruby say's as the group realizes the same thing, usually by now they are at least attacked by a pack of Beowolves. "She's right, I believe we've entered the territory of what is ever behind this," Oobleck says continuing forward, unknown to them a small machine follows them, seeming to monitor them. It stays still for a few moments before silently hovering after them.
The group continues on its trek through the forest, they yet to see any sign of life, be it Grimm, human, or Faunas, which unnerves the students as they continue to walk. Blake suddenly hears rapidly approaching footsteps, followed by a growl, confirming it to be a Grimm that is approaching them, "Incoming!" Blake yells out pulling out Gambit Shroud, while the others pulls out their weapons, when suddenly a horde of Beowolves pour out of nearby bushes attacking the five person group. The small group shows their determination by standing their ground cutting down the Grimm who tries take them down, more Grimm come and more are slain, the huntsman and Huntresses aura's flare up as they take hits but more Grimm appears threatening to overwhelm them, unbeknownst to them the small machine has begun transmitting a signal, as a small distance away a group of 20 humanoid figures receive the signal and immediately move towards the battle. Back at the battle, they have seem to have driven off the Grimm for the meantime, "Is everyone alright?" Oobleck Asks the students, Ruby quickly responds "I'm ok!" "Why are there so many Grimm appearing all of a sudden?" Yang asks Oobleck. "I believe that with the disappearance of many of their kind they wish to find out what has happened." Oobleck theorizes.
"But I though-" Weiss starts before a roar catches their attention as a alpha Ursa Major appears alongside another hoard of Beowolves, the venerated Huntsman and Huntresses-in Training prepare for another fight. Just as the Grimm almost reaches the 5 person group a few gunshots happen behind them, and the Grimm that were in the front charging towards falls, confused the group turns around as from the bushes behind them 20 figures burst out and move past the group, standing in front of them and opens fire on the advancing Grimm. The small group see's the 20 figures and notice's that while they're humanoid, they're robotic, and they're gunning down any Grimm who dares comes close, but not all of the Grimm fall to the robots as one of the Beewolves, manage to jump on top of one of the drones, before it raises its claws to destroy the machine underneath it the drone shoots out its right arm and a blade shoots out from it, in which the drone uses to effortlessly cut of the head of the dark wolf. Another Beowolf jumps on to another drone, this one holding down both arms of the machine, but before it can destroy the drone it is cut down by a certain red cloaked huntress, the combat drone gets up and looks at the small group of students and teacher before nodding and turning its attention back to the advancing group of Grimm approaching. As the small battle continues the drones in the middle move to the side, making a big enough gap in the defensive line, A drone turns to them, seemingly the leader of the unit due to its heavier armor, points at them before it moves its arm pointing at the Grimm. Oobleck immediately draws his weapon, "Girls," He says "they wish for our assistance." "Of course Doctor," Weiss seems to say for all of them before the 4 huntress of Team RWBY jump into the fray.
The battle is short but fierce, with the combined strength of the hunters and the Drones the Grimm stood no chance, the battle comes to a close as the Alpha Ursa charges, and is cut down just as easily as the other Grimm due to the combined firepower of the Drones and Hunters, it did however managed to get a few good swipes on Team RWBY and damaging some Combat Drones. The leader drone approaches the group of humans, and immediately makes a loud noise that immediately causes them to cover their ears, seeing this the robot reaches towards its neck and twists something underneath it does this a few times before stopping. "Hello, this unit is designated RC-810, this area is unsafe, please follow me and the others to safety," the drone says the beacon hunters, "Very well, please guide us," Oobleck tells the drone who nods to them before turning around, as if on que the other drones stand at attention and for a protective circle around the group. The walk with the Drones were uneventful, no Grimm attacked them through the rest of the journey showing that the dark beasts were gone in the surrounding areas. It wasn't long before the group started to see something in the distance, a wall which appears to be surrounding a city behind it, on closer inspection there seems to be other robots outside the wall, which seem to be working on the wall, repairing damages that have occurred over the many years that have passed, while squads of combat effective drones stand guard to ensure nothing disturbs the reconstruction efforts.
After a short distance of walking closer to the wall they appear at what appears to be a gate with multiple combat drones patrolling around it, as the group comes up to it the lead Drone steps forward as another drone at the gate steps forward as well, the combat drone right hand raises up as the Gate drone scans a barcode in the palm of the combat drone. After the moment the gate drone nods and returns to its position as the gate starts to raise up, while this the combat drone turns to the hunters, "The overseer wishes to see you, please continue to follow me," The drone says before walking into the city, while the other drones join the others keeping guard at the gate. The hunters follow the lead drone, as they walk they are shocked by the state of the city, while some rust still exists of some of the roads, some buildings, and light poles, the city looks brand new. Entire squads to drones move from building to building cleaning and making everything shine like new. "Incredible, when I last visited this place there was rust everywhere, but now it looks so… new," Oobleck says while looking at the buildings that were once rusted over and overgrown by nature, while Ruby and her teammates look amazed at the futuristic city that they're walking through. After a small bit of walking the group comes up upon a massive building that does not have a single bit of rust on it, the drone leading the hunters walks up to the main door and raises its right hand again, a scanner quickly scans it and the door opens, the drone turns around facing the group, "Please enter the lobby the overseer will see you in a moment," the drone motions to the open door. "Thank you," Oobleck says to the drone as he leads his students into the building, the door closes behind them after they enter.
"Ah hello!" A male voice calls out, surprising the group as what seems to be a floating ball with an golden eye, hovers over the them, "I am Epsilon-Delta-Omega, Or Edo for short, and I am the keeper and the current overseer of this outpost, it is a pleasure to meet you, truly a pleasure," The ball now know as 'Edo' introduces itself(*3) with a upper class Atlesian accent. "Um hello?" Blake says with surprise, "Please do mind the rust, we haven't been activated in so long, but don't worry, once the buildings are rebuilt and furnished, as well as the defensive wall resealed we will be ready to allow people to live here again. Now might I ask who all of you are?" Edo asks, looking doctor Oobleck specifically, "Ah yes, I am Doctor Oobleck, This team RWBY," he says to Edo. "I am Ruby Rose! Leader of team RWBY" Ruby introduces herself, "Weiss Schnee, Heiress to the Schnee Dust Company," Weiss says regally, "Blake Belladonna," Blake says plainly , "Yang Xiao Long, Nice to meet you," Yang says with a smile. "Like I said before its a pleasure to meet all of you, now might I ask why you have come to our home?" Edo says with curiosity, "Ah yes, you see we've been hearing a strange signal coming from this area, I assume it is you who are making the signals?" Oobleck asks Edo. "Yes, ever since I've been reactivated I've been sending the signal to my creators the inform them that I have woken up, though I have yet to receive a signal from the home dimension," Edo says, "Wait, home dimension?" Weiss asks, "Yes, you see me and my creators are not from this dimension, I assume you have heard of the multiverse theory?" Edo ask Weiss, "Yes, but its only that, a theory, you can't possibly be from another dimension, its ludicrous!" Weiss say, practically yelling.
"Well then miss Schnee, Tell me does anything like me or the security drones outside exist in outside of this outpost? Or the technology in this building?" Edo asks the skeptical girl, "The Atlesian Military could've designed easily you and the robots outside, but…" Weiss shoots back immediately, only to trail off when thinking of how Atlas developed even better technology inside the outpost than what they currently use. "Weiss, I think he..It? Is right, those weapons that the robots outside look way to advanced than what the Atlesian military uses, they did instantly disintegrate the Grimm that attacked us." Blake says, "Ah yes, those weapons were very helpful taking out those dark beasts when we came to this dimension." Edo says, "besides, I've had the liberty to tap into your communication system, and what I've learned, is that this Atlesian military, while large, has yet to develop a anti-Gravity device, well one that can fit my chassis," Edo says, "...Fine, I'll accept your answer for now." Weiss says in defeat as Edo nods.
"Anyway, shall I give you the tour of this facility, so that way you can tell people when we are able to accept them should they wish to live here?" Edo asks the huntsman and huntresses in training, "Ah yes, Please show us around, I am quite intrigued about you and your kind." Oobleck says. "Splendid! Please follow me, there is quite a lot to see, the portal room, the hall of records, the basic administrative systems, and so much more." Edo says as he starts to hover to the door he came from, team RWBY and Doctor Oobleck follows, looking around the stark white halls, "While we are walking, allow me to tell you about my creator's, The Interdimensional Travelers," Edo says happily. "Many years ago, before even I was created, in the Home Dimension, a small group of scientist discovered the way to break open the fabric of reality. Unfortunately they way they opened it was so unstable that it would've cause the dimension to implode, if it wasn't thanks to an old interdimensional god whose attention was drawn to the home dimension, the god used their power and stabilized the dimension. The people cried out in joy, for they had been saved, they thanked the god and wished to shower it in gifts, the god however didn't want any of that but had a singular request, for them to travel the multiverse, and record the history of every dimension they came across and then showed the people to travel the multiverse safely before disappearing into the void between realms, the people of the home dimension agreed, they would follow the wish of the god who saved them. They began to travel across the realms, meeting civilizations both technologically advanced and primitive, They also began to use the technology from other dimensions as well, technology like me. My design is from dimension H-4-1-O-117, there were one of the species from that dimension created the monitors to assist and take charge of their building when they're long gone, My creators managed to get the design for those monitors and created me and my siblings, we were deployed to multiple outposts across the multiverse including this dimension," Edo says cheerfully. "So what dimension are we?" Ruby asks, "V-Y-4-A-1, but I must admit something weird happened when we first scanned the dimension," Edo says. "What do you mean?" Oobleck asks with major curiosity.
"I'm afraid for the moment we will have to pause this conversation for this moment, because we are at the first spot of our tour," Edo says as he turns into one of the rooms, inside is what seems to be multiple holographic terminals but in the back of the room sems to be a a circular ring sticking out of the ground with another terminal right next to it. "Say hello to our interdimensional teleporter, I had to turn it off when the city was invaded by those dark beast after we evacuated every occupant, there was something strange though, usually those Grimm are mindless beast, uncoordinated, but when they finally breached the outer walls something weird happened, they were strategic, attacked with precision, and even stranger is that our sensor sensed a human female behind the waves of Grimm outside the walls," Edo says, retelling the story of how the city fell to the Grimm, "Wait, you saying that there was a human leading the Grimm?" Blake asks, "Quite possibly, the Grimm didn't attack her, in fact they were letting her pet them," Edo says which confuses the huntsman and huntresses-in-training as they walk into the room.
"Anyway let us not worry about the past, let us worry about the future shall we?" Edo says to the group hoping to dismiss their worries as he hovers over to the portal, "This is the interdimensional teleporter, this lovely device allows passage between realms, it is an amazing piece of technology that when my creators arrive they may be able to tell you how it works. Now don't worry I made sure to shut down the portal before hand, and the computer who controls it can't activate it for a test run without a keyword and authorization from my creators, so if you want go ahead and touch," Edo tells the group as Ruby makes her way over to the console next to the portal, "Join us when you can miss Rose, now if you follow me across the hall, I will show you the records of Remnant that we have until the day this great city was attacked," Edo says as he starts to lead the others across the hall to the other room. Ruby looks at the terminal, the buttons are powered off, so many weapons could be found across the multiverse, and that makes her so excited. As she turns around to follow Edo her hands glides across the terminal, suddenly the console roars to life, "Input received, beginning test run," the computer says in a feminine voice, the portal rings suddenly start to light up as in the middle of the rings it seems to start to glow glue. "Umm Edo?!" Ruby yells out, catching the robots attention, who hovers back into the portal room followed by the others, Edo almost jumps back in surprise, "Impossible.. That's Impossible!" Edo cries out in shock, suddenly the air around Ruby starts to bend. "Ruby!" Yang yells out before rushing to get Ruby away from the device, but this horrifies Edo, "No! NO!" as Edo shoots out a blue beam from his eye shoots out towards Yang, as suddenly she finds herself stuck, restrained by what ever the floating ball did, "What are you doing Edo?!" Yang yells out, her eyes turning red and hair almost combusting into flames, "Saving your life!"(*4) Edo yells out as he hovers past her, "Stay there! You as well miss Rose! Computer shut down the portal now!" Edo hovers directly to a nearby terminal that controls the portal, "Negative, protocol dictates that test jump must be completed before shut down," The computer says to Edo. "What? There is no protocol for that! Override code Epsilon-8-Talos-5!' Edo yells out at the computer, "Access denied, Test jump must be completed," The computer shoots back, "Access denied?! I am current overseer of this facility, I order you to shut down the portal now!" Edo yells, his eye turning red as it happens, "Negative, current overseer is [ERROR-Data not found]-" The computer starts only to have a energy blast that is shot out by Edo that destroys the terminal, after the energy blast destroys the terminal his eye returns to normal as suddenly a rift appears within the rings, "This is not good…" he says before turning to Ruby, "Miss Rose, I can't do anything to help you at this moment, I pray that you appear in a dimension why my Creators set up an outpost, Stay safe!" Edo yells out before Ruby starts to feel herself floating, before she is sent flying through the rift, the rift immediately closes up behind her. Leaving behind nothing but 4 silent Remnant civilians and one interdimensional Machine who oversees the city.
?
It's nighttime as a rift suddenly opens above the roots of a giant tree in a unknown location, as Ruby suddenly exits the rift, after she exits the rift closes up behind her. Before she hits the rocks intertwined between the roots she raises her aura around her, as she hits the ground her aura flares up, and taking a good amount of it as it makes a big dust cloud that makes some birds fly away from the impact. Quite the distance away two figures look at the dust cloud before moving to investigate. "Ugh.. what hap-?" Ruby asks as once she regains her bearings only to find she isn't in the underground building anymore. "Hello? Is anyone there?" Ruby calls out hoping to hear someone she knows or even a voice, yet no one answers. "W-Where am I?" Ruby asks herself, she looks around seeing what seems to be a endless forest, some snow covered mountains, and as she stares upward towards the evening sky, to see a beautiful whole moon. She looks arounds some more before seeing what seems to be a path near the trees roots, deciding to look around for anyone she jumps down and starts down the path into the seamlessly endless into the woods for civilization
After a little while of walking of nothing but trees and the occasional lake/pond there is no sign of civilization. Ruby sighs as she sits under a tree and looks up to the stars, "Just where did I end up?" she asks herself, when suddenly a snap appears behind the tree, she jumps up grabbing Crescent Rose and deploying it in its scythe form, as Ruby see what made the noise she see's its some sort of Beowolf with grey fur with a bright yellow horn and claws, and it has some of its kind with it, as well as a bigger wolf, being more gray with brown stripes and very bushy fur, with even sharper claws. The bigger one, probably the alpha, howls and attacks after Ruby see's it, she quickly brings her scythe up to deflect the attack only for the lesser wolves to follow after the alpha, as they try to gain up on her Ruby easily defends herself but is getting swarmed by the Wolves as she keeps her aura up to take the blows. She manages to cut a few down as adrenaline pumps through her veins before the alpha delivers a powerful slash to her stomach, her aura shattering as well as sending flying into a nearby rock, knocking the wind out of her and leaving a big gash which starts seeping blood(*5), she looks up trying to get up wincing in pain as she does so, before the unknown beasts attack again a gun shot rings out as the alpha wolf stumbles, blood leaking from the newly created wound on its snout as it turns to the new threats. Two humans appear from a nearby cave running towards the horde of monsters, One male, one female, both are wearing weird outfits(*6) the male has dark brown hair while the woman has green hair , the male holding a weapon which seems to be a sword with a gun built into the weapon itself, the weapon then disappears in a blue flash, but something new appears in his hands, a two handed sword with a starry-like blade and a golden fuller going up to near the point of the blade. While in the woman's hands. two daggers appear in her hands, silver handles with a similar starry blades. "Shine like the morning sun, Celeste the Brave!" the man yells out, "Glow like the evening moon, Luna-Freya the Just!" the woman yells out as well.
The wolves howl as they charge at the two incoming people who show no fear in their eyes, the woman cuts down two who lunged at her with ease, as the man uses his left arm to knock away one of the wolves before making a huge horizontal arc with his sword, cutting down more than five of the wolves, leaving at least four wolves left with the alpha. They launch themselves at the pair protecting the alpha, the man takes the lead and cuts down all of the wolves in a single attack, the alpha realizing its alone charges at the pair, the woman runs towards in before jumping over the an attack the wolf does, she then flips over the wolf and slides over to Ruby side, as the man draws the wolf's attention. "Don't worry, you're safe now," the woman says with a smile, as one of her daggers disappears as she puts a hand on Ruby's shoulder, she takes a look at the fresh wound, as the man blocks a lunge that the alpha does before forcing the wolf off his sword and makes a upper slash, causing a gash on the wolfs belly, the woman looks up after examining the wound on Ruby, "I can't treat this wound here, we'll need to get you back to the fleet, this may sting a little so sorry in advance," She says as a needle appear in her hand, she injects the needle into Ruby allowing the for the mysterious liquid into the bloodstream, Ruby's eyes start to get heavy as her breathing slows, "What do.. you.. mean.." Ruby starts to ask as she falls unconscious, darkness enveloping her sight, before she falls completely asleep she hears a huge whine and something running off.
?
Ruby starts to wake, hearing beeping in the background, the pain with that came with the wound has disappeared. Her eyes fully open and she gets up, allowing her to see the room that she is in, it is a stark white with some blue light running along the walls with one having a window that shows a hallway connected to the room, a heart monitor to the side of the bed beeping to her heartbeat, she is wearing a hospital gown, there seem to be bandages around her waist covering the wound, and she turns to her left to see the two who saved her sitting in chairs against one of the walls, the woman is reading from what seems to be a holographic screen coming from her left arm, while the man seems to be asleep. The woman looks up from the screen to see Ruby up, "Oh! Marc she's up." she says while the holographic screen disappears, and she wakes the other person up, "Ugh..What, oh! You ok kid? That Fang Banshee got a good swipe in." He asks Ruby after he wakes up, "Y-yeah I'm ok, um where am I?" Ruby asks back, "Don't worry, you're back at the fleet, specifically the Ansur to be exact, the doctors are checking to see what ship you're registered in so don't worry about telling us what ship you're from," The woman says with a smile. "Now care to explain what you were doing on Naverius?" Marc asks, crossing his arms, "Marc!" the woman snaps at him, "What Elizabeth? She's not an ARKS Trainee due to new trainees for the third gens haven't started training yet, and we would know if they started training cause Alex and Morgan are already enrolled for the training," Marc says to the woman, now identified as Elizabeth, "True, but you could've been less direct about it," Elizabeth says. "Well…" Ruby start when suddenly the door opens as man with doctor's coat comes into the room, looking disturbed, Ruby notices the mans ears are longer and pointier, "Um Mr. and Mrs. Amiti can I speak with you for a moment alone?" he asks frantically. "Sure doc," Marc say as he and Elizabeth get up and follow the doctor out of the room, she sees Elizabeth, Marc, and the doctor walk in front of the glass. The doctor then says something which confuses the two adults, Marc asks a question which the doctor shakes his head and holographic screen appears in front of them, what is on it confuses the two who saved her, which leads Elizabeth to ask another question, the doctor then shrugs.
Ruby lets the group talk, she feels her aura whole again, so she lets her aura heal her wounds up, a red glow surrounds her as the wound that was stitched together fully heals, she turns her head back to the window where the group is still talking, though behind them is a black haired woman who is wearing a lab coat with seems to be an ID badge, she is staring right at Ruby. It seems no else sees this woman, as no one pays her any mind, Elizabeth then turns back and walk back into the room stares at Ruby for a moment with a look of concern before sighing, "You're a long way from home aren't you?" she says sadly, before walking over and sitting on the bed, "Where are you from? and what's your name?" Elizabeth asks Ruby. "I'm Ruby, Ruby Rose, I'm from Remnant," Ruby says and Elizabeth smiles, "Nice to meet you Ruby, I'm Elizabeth, Elizabeth Amiti, you already met my husband Marc," she motions to Marc behind the glass. "I'm guessing you'll like to know where you are," Elizabeth says as she gets up and walks to a nearby wall, "Um yeah.." Ruby says as she gets up and follows Elizabeth, a holographic display appears before her, Elizabeth lowers a setting on the display as suddenly the wall fades away revealing it to be a window, and what's outside the window shakes Ruby to her core, instead of a super advanced city, she stares out to the endless black abyss of space, but that is not the only thing that's out there. Hundreds, if not thousands, or even millions of starships, and within the middle is one gigantic ship that gives off a beautiful blue glow, Ruby can see that there are cities within the domes of the smaller ships, "Welcome to the Oracle Fleet Ruby, Home of ARKS, and the countless civilians," Elizabeth says officially welcoming Ruby to the fleet.
A.P. 236/12/20 10:30AM
"Now be careful miss Rose, while that wound might've healed we wouldn't want to see you like that again understand?" The doctor Calls to her as she starts to leave the hospital, two days have passed since she has arrived at Oracle, thanks to the help of Elizabeth she has been registered in the database of the oracle fleet, she also has got her clothes back that were repaired. "Of course!" Ruby says, walking towards the front door, as she gets outside both Elizabeth and Marc are there waiting for her, with a certain black and red folded weapon next to Marc. "Ah Crescent Rose!" Ruby says as she snatches her weapon up, hugging it as if it'll disappear. "You really love that scythe huh?" Marc says while chuckling, "Well yeah, I built Crescent Rose after all, don't you build your weapons?" Ruby asks the two operatives, who shake their head no, "Unfortunately no, many operatives have to use the weapons ARKS creates for them, and while there are some do uses custom weapon's, its very rare," Elizabeth says with a frown.
During her stay in the hospital Ruby has learned about the many people of Oracle and the ARKS(Artificial Relict to Keep Species) Operatives, the huntsman and huntresses of the Oracle fleet, she has learned about the species that inhabit the fleet, Regular human's who in ARKS are natural all rounders, the pointy ear Photon Manipulator Newmans, the sturdy mechanical beings with a soul CASTs, and the newest beings in the fleet the horned martial master Deumans. She has also learned about the classes that the ARKS operatives uses, Hunters and Fighters who specialize in close quarters combat, Rangers and Gunners who uses support in ranged combat with firearms, and finally Forcer and Techer who manipulate the photons in the air to cast elemental attacks.
"Anyway, You ready?" Elizabeth asks Ruby, during her stay in the hospital Elizabeth had asked her since she had nowhere else to go that if she would like staying in their house to get her bearings. "Yea, I'm ready," Ruby says to Elizabeth, "Alright then, lets get going," Marc as the two begins walking towards down town, Ruby follows them. "So can you tell me about your weapons?" Ruby asks them, "Do you mean our Cosmogenic Arms?" Elizabeth asks with a raised eyebrow as Ruby nods her head, "Well Cosmogenic Arms can't be used by everyone, the weapon has to choose its wielder, our weapons appeared before us, Mine is Celeste the Brave, a two handed long sword with the ability to split into twin blades, it has a light element in every swing," Marc says, "Mine is Luna-Freya the Just, twin daggers imbued with dark elements," Elizabeth says. "But yea its rare for a normal Operative to wield a Cosmogenic Arm, usually they're reserved for the ARKS commanders, the council of six, as well as those who are trying to get up to the rank. That's what we are, We're training under our CO to fill the 4th and 6th seats in the council along side another guy, so any of us three can be chosen to fill the spots," Marc says as they walk down some stairs from a bridge towards the residential district.
"I hope you don't mind rooming with our son and daughter, they will be heading out for training two months from now," Elizabeth says turning to Ruby, "Oh no I don't mind," Ruby says as they continue to walk down the side walk. After a few minutes of walking they finally arrive at a house Marc walks up to the door and knocks, after a little there is a click of the lock and the door opens, revealing a 16 year old boy with dark green hair and eyes, wearing a green t-shirt, once he see's who knocked on the door he brightens up, "Mom, Dad you're back!" he immediately hugs his mother, behind him is a girl about his age with the same hair and eye color, but she wears a purple shirt, "You two are back early, did miss Maria finally give you a break?" the girl says as she hugs her father, "Just for the day, and that'll be Commander Maria to you soon Morgan," Marc tells his daughter. She chuckles, "Sorry dad, its good to see you back from training." Morgan says as she lets go of her father, as her brother lets go of his mother and looks at Ruby, "You must be Ruby, I'm Alex, Nice to meet you," He says while holding out his hand, "Nice to meet you too," Ruby says while shaking his hand. "My name is Morgan, this one little sister by a few seconds," Morgan introduces herself, bowing, before lightly punching Alex on the shoulder who lightly chuckles.
"Thank you for allowing me to stay in your home," Ruby says to Elizabeth, "It's the least we could do, I mean your far from home so we couldn't exactly leave you to fend for yourself." Elizabeth says to Ruby with a smile, they enter the house which is furnished modestly, on a holographic television there seems to be some sort of sports game going on, the family sit on the couch facing the tv as Marc turns to look at Ruby, "Now, shall we talk about what you're gonna do now miss Rose?" he says, "What do you mean?" Ruby asks in confusion, "Only ARKS Operatives are allowed off the ship, let alone the fleet, and as basically a civilian here you won't be able to scout for that facility you need to get home, now me and Marc can scout planets that ARKS haven't fully explored yet, as well as Alex and Morgan when they become full fledge operatives, but that may take a while seeing as we don't really know what we're looking for." Elizabeth says staring at the silver eyed huntress-in-training.
"Then can I become an operative?" Ruby asks the family, Alex shakes his head, "It's not that simple, to become an ARKS op you have to go through a brutal two year training, not to mention have photonic potential to even use the weapons ARKS wield, which Morgan and I have but you probably don't," "She doesn't, the doc's checked her out when she was in the hospital, she has next to nothing in photonic potential, so it's not likely she can become an operative" Marc tells his son. What Marc has said saddens Ruby, but what Marc says next reverses that mood "However… there may still be a few ways…"
Elizabeth looks a bit disturbed, "but they are potentially dangerous, the first option is that you could become a CAST, but that has side effects," She says to Ruby, "Like what?" she asks uncertainly. "You'll lose your memories, a very common thing with people who become CASTs, the second option is much more dangerous which could end with your death or you forcibly becoming a CAST just to keep you alive. The first generation ARKS Ops were basically normal people like you who the photoners took and basically pumped a huge amount of photons into them, it was fatal, over half of the test subjects were killed, it still worked but most of the survivors had to become CASTs just to survive. While that process hasn't been used in a while it has been advanced that it's still possible, but its still possibly fatal, ultimately its you're choice Ruby,." Elizabeth explains to the silver eyed huntress.
Ruby sits down in a nearby chair, the choices laid out in front of her, to wait for the local people to find a way home for her, to join this group of space explorers as a cyborg with possibly no memories of home, or risk her life just to be able to scout for her way home, "Though I have a feeling that you have a warrior's soul so I think you're not gonna stay cooped up here in the fleet," Marc says staring at Ruby with a smile. "Yeah, I'll join ARKS until I can find my find a way home, so I'll choose to try to infuse myself with photons," Ruby says, Marc nods "Then I'll contact Commander Maria later today to see if we can register you for training."
"Well, if she manages to get in, it would make history in both Oracle and ARKS," Alex says, "Ain't that the truth big brother," Morgan says nodding to her brother. "That is if the council agrees to go head with this," Elizabeth says to her children with Marc nodding. "Anyway let us not worry about that for the moment, lets help get Ruby settled in, shall we? Alex is the guest room cleaned up?" Marc asks his son, "Yes, even the dust has been cleaned up." Alex says, Marc nods. "Morgan, can you show Ruby to her room please?" Elizabeth says to her. "Of course, come on Ruby," Morgan takes Ruby by the hand as she guides Ruby through the house, they go up the stairs and goes down the hallway before stopping at the third door on the left from the stairs, the door opens revealing a nice medium sized bedroom, with a bed, dresser, and a desk near the window. "Here's your room Ruby, hope you don't mind," Morgan says, "Oh no this is more than enough, thank you," Ruby says to Morgan who nods. "I'll leave you to get settled, if you need anything from us we'll be downstairs, ok?" Morgan asks Ruby, who nods in response and with that Morgan leaves the room. Ruby sits on the bed letting her gather her thoughts, about ARKS, about Oracle, and about her home, her friends, and family.
A.P. 238/2/12 2:10 PM
Over two month's has passed since Ruby has appeared at the Oracle fleet, and she has been authorized to undergo the treatment, which is happening today. Over the past two months Ruby had learnt about this dimension, it's history, it's alphabet, and so much more. She has also met Alex and Morgan's best friend, Zachary Nis, who is also joining ARKS alongside his friends. Though currently at the moment Ruby is on her way to the ARKS Laboratory along side Elizabeth who is driving her there, "You sure you want to go through with this Ruby?" Elizabeth asks her, "I have to, I want to find a way to get home as soon as I can," Ruby says to Elizabeth. "Ok… just be safe ok? I don't want to hear that you died," Elizabeth says to Ruby as they enter a ARKS restricted area, before coming to a stop in front of the lab. "I'll try to be careful," Ruby says as she exits the vehicle and walks into the lab, where she is greeted by a scientist. "You must be Ruby Rose," He guesses, to which Ruby nods, "Yes, I am," she confirms her identity to him, "Excellent, please follow me," The scientist turns around and start to walk down a nearby hallway to which Ruby follows him. "I must thank you for wishing to go through with this, it has been so long since we have done this, and to think that when we would get to try this again it is on a person from another dimension," The scientist tells Ruby, "Worry not, if you wish to become an ARKS operative, me and my colleagues shall make it happen miss Rose." The Scientist says to her, giving her a big smile.
"Thank you, I hope with this I can find my way home," Ruby says, "I believe you will be able to, there are hundreds of worlds ARKS has explored, one of them must hold the key to your way home," The Scientist says, before stopping near a door, "Now before you continue, I must ask what is your most dominate hand?" He asks her as a holographic screen appears over his left arm, "Oh I'm left handed," The Scientist nods as he inputs something on on the screen. "Thank you, now in this room you are to change into a medical gown, once you have changed you are to go through the door on the other side of the room, from there we will beginning the procedure," The Scientist points to door next to her, before walking into a door further away and entering it. Ruby enters the room, as she enters she see medical gowns along racks, she quickly finds one her size and changes into it, leaving her clothes on the nearby table. Ruby waits in front of the door leading to the next room for a moment before opening the door and walking into the room with a chair in the middle of the room, there is another scientist in here, wearing a full medical suit with a mask obscuring his face, in the back of the room there is a window where she see's even more scientists behind it, include the one who showed her the way. "Ah miss Rose, we're ready on our end, please take a seat in the chair, and we'll get started," the Scientist informs her, Ruby nods as she walks towards the chair, "Now just to inform you miss Rose, that once you sit down there will be restrains, these are to ensure that during the procedure that you do not rip any of the needles out and hurt yourself, understood?" The lead scientist asks her, to which she nods, Ruby sits down in the chair, and sure enough once she put her arms on the armrests restrains immediately clamp down over her wrists.
"Alright miss Rose, are you ready?" The scientist asks her from the control room, Ruby waits for a moment before taking a deep breath and nods, the scientist in the control room nod and immediately type away at their terminals, while the one in the room with her pulls up his terminal and presses a few buttons on this it, "Prepare for Photonic Infusion," A computer voice says out loud as from the ceiling four tubes with needles attached to them descend, before coming to a stop at Ruby's forearms. They hover over the exposed skin for a moment before forcibly stabbing themselves into the arms, causing Ruby for flinch as she try to not to use her aura to disrupt the process. A blueish-green liquid then falls follows the tube down from the ceiling, once it reaches the end of the tube its injected into Ruby's body, "The infusion is at ten precent and rising steadily, no change in patient status yet," a scientist in the control room says as she continues to monitor the procedure, Ruby however is starting to breath a little heavy, as this foreign power starts to be injected into her. "Twenty one precent, vitals in acceptable levels," Ruby's breathing gets worst, as now it feels like something is sitting on her, but not heavy enough that it's completely suffocating her. "Forty four precent, only have a small discrepancy, however it looks to be stabilizing," A pain starts to appear in Ruby's arms just as the there is even more pressure appearing on her chest, causing her to grip chair tighter. "Sixth two precent, everything is looking…wait," The scientist stops when sudden both the pressure and the pain immediately grow, causing Ruby to stop breathing, both due to the feeling of a heavy object on top of her and the heavy pain she feels, "Dammit! We got a major anomaly here," One of the scientist in the control room says looking at his terminal, "What is happening?" The Lead Scientist, "We don't know, its as if something in her body is rejecting the infusion," The female scientist says not taking her eyes of the monitor, meanwhile in the room the nearby scientist types away at his terminal trying to figure out what to do before something bad happens. Ruby tries her best to stay conscious, but it grows harder and harder by each passing second. Just when she is about to pass out, she feels a hand rest on her left shoulder, barely looking over she see's the same lab coat glasses wearing woman that she saw when she woke up in the hospital, the woman walks in front of the chair and holds her hand out, as a stunning light emerges from it and onto Ruby's body. All of a sudden the pain starts to dim, and the pressure on her chest finally relents, allowing her some much needed oxygen. "Wait, her vitals are stabilizing, I think her body is accepting the infusion," The female scientist says. How ever Ruby is still blacking out, just before she falls unconscious she hears the female scientist say "Eighty nine Precent, I think it'll finally work sir."
A.P. 238/2/18 11:10 AM
Ruby jumps awake breathing heavily, still in her medical gown while a heart monitor beeping nearby, "Easy miss Rose, you've been out for awhile." A nearby scientist says to her, Ruby looks down at herself, and see she has a small stitched upped cut on her right arm going from her wrist to the upper forearm, "How long was I out?" Ruby asks, "Just a few days, once we confirmed that you were ok we moved on to implanting the devices that every operative needs, one second turning your HUD on… now," the scientist press a button on his holographic terminal and suddenly her vision glows blue for a split second before in the middle of her vision text appears, 'initializing' it says before going through some code before finally saying 'ARKS ID confirmed, Trainee candidate Ruby Rose.' the text fade away, as new things fill her vision. In the top right seems to be a circular mini map while in the lower left there seems to be a small rectangle with a red, green, and blue bar within, and just above that is her name.
"Now Miss Rose, I shall go over your heads up display, in the top left is your radar, it'll be fed with an up to date battle data as well as as map of the area you area in to ensure you stay alive in the field. In the lower left is you vitals represented by the green bar, as well as your Photonic power represented by the blue bar, and the latest upgrade that is unique to you at this moment is your Aura that is represented by the red bar." The scientist informs Ruby of her new abilities, "Now raise your right arm and think of a screen above it," the scientist instructs Ruby, she does so and just around stitched upped area a holographic screen appears before her, "This is your terminal, it'll relay radio transmissions as well as keep you up to date the emergency codes, it will also let you contact any other ARKS personnel." The scientist lets Ruby know, "Wait, if I have these, have I managed to.." She trails off before the scientist finishes for her, " The ARKS overseer has approved that you are cleared for training miss Rose, You are to report to the Training center in 3 days," the scientist confirms for her.
The holographic screen over both Ruby and the scientist disappear, "I'll leave you to get changed miss Rose, Your clothes are on the table over there, I'll contact Mrs. Amiti to inform her to pick you up, please remain here." The scientist leaves the room, leaving Ruby alone in the room, who gets up and walks towards the table, and Ruby quickly changes back into her clothes. Ruby quickly uses her aura to heal the stitches during the surgery, while doing so she starts to get used to her new HUD, she blinks a few times not used to seeing something like this ever before, she then pulls up her holographic terminal. A few minutes pass by and Ruby continues to get used to using the terminal, before the door opens and Elizabeth walks in, "Good to see you up Ruby, how are you feeling?" Elizabeth asks Ruby, "I'm feeling alright, just getting used to all of this.." Ruby replies, Elizabeth smiles as she sits down next to her, "You'll get used to it in the first few weeks, having a your new HUD will be a lifesaver in the field, especially when you're about to be attacked by any beast you'll come across out there, trust me, it's saved me multiple times," Elizabeth tells Ruby.
"You ready to get out of here?" Elizabeth asks Ruby, who nods, the two women get up and start to walk out of the hospital, Ruby says goodbye to them yet again before they leave, not before long they returned back to Elizabeth's house. When they enter they see Alex is in the kitchen preparing lunch while Morgan seems playing a video game on the TV, "Hey mom, hey Ruby, Nice to see you back, so how did it go?" Alex asks looking away from the stove for a moment, towards the two. "Miss Rose here is cleared for training, the Overseer approved it themself." Elizabeth informs her son, "Woah, nice Ruby! That's big!" Morgan says, pausing her game and turning to face Ruby, "You're the first person from another dimension to join ARKS, you've just made history," Morgan says to her. "Thanks, I just hope I can keep up with all of you," Ruby says, "Trust me Ruby, you'll keep up just fine, if anything we may have fall behind due to that you having some prior experience." Morgan says as Alex nods, agreeing with his sister. "Well I'm sure you'll find out, I'm sorry but I need to get going." Elizabeth informs the soon to be trainees, "Leaving already? Can't even stay for lunch?" Her son asks, "Unfortunately no, I need to report to Commander Maria, your father has been covering for me for the past few days, but now I need to get back to training with my Cosmogenic Arm, but we'll be there when you all get to the academy, I promise you that." Elizabeth tells Alex, who sighs, "Alright.. Just come visit us when you and dad have the chance ok?" Alex asks his mother, who smiles and nods "Of course, you have my word." She waves goodbye to them as she walks out the door leaving them alone.
Over the next day the two siblings help Ruby with some last minute history lessons, like the Falspawn, the creation of ARKS, and the war against Elder. They also go over the last time the Falspawn was sighted eight years ago during the attack on ARKS HQ, Since that day the Oracle fleet has been quite peaceful, there hasn't been a sighting of a Falspawn in those past eight years, leaving many to wonder where did they go.
A.P. 236/2/20 8:55 am
Ruby, Alex, and Morgan quickly hurry down the sidewalk towards the training center along side Zach, they quickly turn the last corner and before a large building complex with the ARKS insignia on the main building is a large group of Humans, Newmans, CASTS, and Deumans of various ages and builds. All of them ARKS candidates for training, Ruby and the others quickly join the large group, Zach is a little out of breath, "Wow Zach, if you're out of breath now you might not make it in ARKS," Alex says amusingly, "Screw off Alex, you know I lived further than you did, not to mention I had to make a detour to get you." Zach gives a small glare to his friend. Morgan looks around, looking for someone, before two voices catches the group of four's attention, "Alex, Morgan!" the voices call out, Alex and Morgan turn to see their parents walking up to the small group, "Hey Mom, hey Dad." Morgan says to them, "The big day is finally here, you all nervous?" Marc asks them, "Just a little, but I'm sure I'll get over it." Alex tells his father, who nods, while Alex, Morgan and Zach start to talk to Marc, Elizabeth makes her way over to Ruby, "You ready for this Ruby? Remember what we said, this training is brutal, best guess over half of these people will drop out through training." Elizabeth tells Ruby, "I have to, if I have any chance of finding my home, this is it." Ruby says, determined to see this through. Elizabeth nods at the young huntress, "Alright, then I wish all of you the best of luck to get through this training." Elizabeth tells the group of four.
Suddenly the doors of the main building open and a CAST walks out, base of the body type is male, Ruby has seen this CAST on ARKS recruitment posters, a veteran of the War of against Elder and one of the council of six, Commander Regius. All of the candidates quiet down and face the AKRS hero, both Elizabeth and Marc take a step back, "Welcome, all of you, I like to thank you for coming, you all are aware that you'll be making history as the newest generation of operatives of ARKS. I will not lie that this training will test your every mettle, but should you persevere, you will join ARKS, the moment you step through these doors you'll begin your training." Regius says to the group of recruits who look at him with fire in their eyes, the trainees then start to funnel into the building, walking past Regius to begin their training, Ruby waits for a moment before following Alex, Morgan, and Zach, Ready to face whatever future awaits for her.
A.P. 238/2/20 9:45 am
Ruby stares out of the window of her private quarters, towards the infinite cosmic sea of space, the view she has grown to be used to for the past two years, she has managed to upgrade Crescent Rose with a Photonic Blade and has figured out how to channel photons to activate her photon arts, this is the last day of training for the first batch of the gen 3 ARKS Operatives, she has chosen to join the Hunter class alongside Alex and Zach, Morgan chose to become a fighter following her mothers footsteps. Not all things that has happened during the past two years were all good however, both Elizabeth and Marc were killed in action while following orders from the ARKS Command, it was confirmed when both of their Cosmogenic Arms(*7) appeared before Alex and Morgan, the news hit both of them hard, but they are not discouraged from their goal.
There is a sudden knock from her door, "Ruby, Ready up we're moving out in 5 minutes." Morgan's voice come from the other side of the door. "Coming!" Ruby yells back as she hears Morgan's footsteps disappears down the hall, she walks away from the window to a nearby closet before she opens it and grabs her red cape, she also upgraded her combat uniform, now adorned with the ARKS star on the upper shoulders. She also grabs Crescent Rose, folded up on a weapons rack next to her, she holds it out in front of her and in a blue flash it disappears into her inventory. Today is the day she graduates from an ARKS trainee to an ARKS operative, the day she has been waiting for. She opens the door and starts to run down the hall to the teleporters to take her to the other trainees who are heading to the planet that she appeared at two years ago, Naverius.
I'm sure many of you noticed the (*) Symbol with a number on it, They are meant to clear stuff up that isn't really know or explained in this story, the answers are to these are below.
(*1): We don't know the exact date of Rwby volume 3, all we know it takes place near winter due to Ruby's comment about it becoming colder./span/strong/p
(*2): Since ARKS is a military Ruby will have to be at least 16 to start training for the next 2 years to be 18 during the story./span/strong/p
(*3): Yes Edo is a monitor from halo, the interdimensional travelers liked the monitors design they decided to use it for their dimensional outposts. The one thing they changed is the names, they prefer to use the Greek alphabet for the names and not names like Guilty Spark or Despondent Pyre, Edo uses the halo infinite design.
(*4): I will explain why Edo restrained her in a later story.
(*5): Before any of you asks why Ruby's Aura broke so Easily, It's because I feel that a Fang Banshee is more powerful than any common and most alpha's, and Ruby's aura took some damage from the Grimm attack earlier, the huge slam she did when she appeared on Naverius, and the Grulf's attacks are no joke to low lv operatives.
(*6): The outfits they wear are the Judgement Coat (Grey coloring) and Ret Vegh (White coloring) respectfully.
(*7): Yes in a later story those weapons will be wielded by my OC's later, but not for a good while so don't expect them to be seen in this arc. As for how they appeared in front of my OC's, its tied to the lore of those weapons which Zig will deliver later in the story.
Sorry that it took so long to get this out, with as many Games and Animes I played and watched lately My mind has been pumping out ideas for stories left and right, so much that I basically had to force myself to focus on this.
Also I'm gonna be honest I doubt that this story may not get as much attention that I want, but the fact you are reading this tells me that you're at least interested in this story. Yes I rushed certain areas, I wanted to get this out as soon as you can read it, Following chapters maybe shorter. I hope I got Ruby's character down but I doubt it, but that is why I need beta Readers to help me keep Ruby in character while Ruby is in the PSOverse. And yes this will be a Ruby X Matoi story (Though personally I am a Whiterose shipper). I'll be rewriting this chapter later down the line when I feel I have written Ruby in character enough as well as writing in general.
Also I have yet to receive any OC's besides my own, I don't want to be the only one having characters in this fic so please insert your own using the template in the preview(if you want me to DM you the template let me know), try to limit 4 characters, any more above that may not be accepted, but if I don't receive any by the time I'm in the middle of writing the next chapter then I'll continue with only mine, but I may make a new story that uses OC's for a combat unit within ARKS. BTW I'm thinking of doing a multiverse fic, if you want to see that let me know, but for the moment thank you for reading the first Chapter of the Remnant Operative, I'll try to get the next chapter out in a month, and I'll see you next time my fellow Operatives!
