Okay everybody like I said, I'm feeling a rush of motivation when it comes to this. And I've had my coffee, as well as a decent lunch, so here I am typing away again.
Now, I have changed it a bit. And you'll definately see how this varies from the original out of place, since I don't want to just redo the whole thing all over again. For example, if you take a look, you'll notice that Jem isn't a high functioning alcoholic anymore.
The story is in general more chill.
And above all, I gave a bit more background rather than just having RWBY automatically transported to Earth.
Granted I will admit, the crack will not completley go away, and some things have changed significantly.
For example, Jem will not be Qrows son in this, because the only reason I got away with that in the first one was because it was mostly crack. And in this new fic, I wouldn't be able to get away with that. Plus I really don't want to bring the midget stripper character back. So yes, Jem is not adopted in this one.
Anyways have fun.
Jem sighed as he got home after the gym. Just his luck, he finally meets a girl, and turns out she has a boyfriend who practically is a trap. It wasn't fair. Then again, most of his information on girls came from movies. And we all know how realistic those are. But in reality, he will admit one thing, while he spent a lot of time building up his body from what he used to be. He also forgot to develop social skills. And that was something that the army had helped with, even if he was still socially awkward as fuck. The point was, while he may look attractive on the outside, it didn't matter if you couldn't hold a conversation that was interesting to the girl in question. You could have the body of Bradley Martyn, but if you sucked at talking to girls, it wouldn't matter.
Shit he remembered one time he was at a bar and kept stuttering and the girl he was talking to thought he was retarded. It was not fun.
"No luck today?" Grandmama asked as she took dinner out of the oven.
"Well, the one girl who was actually my age turned out to be dating this one guy who I honestly thought was a girl." Jem said as he cracked open a Radler.
"Maybe you're trying too hard with the gym?"
"Nah, can't be that, at this point I go to the gym for myself, and just hope that I meet people along the way."
"Well, don't you think it's a bit odd that you spend time obsessing over your own body? And don't even get me started on the posters I've seen in your motorhome." Grandmama said as Jem groaned.
"They're for inspiration!" He was used to his Grandmama teasing him like this.
"I'm sorry sugarcube, you know I love you. I'm just saying, some women may find your obsession with making yourself look like the statue of a Greek God unappealing. Some women would consider that borderline narcissism." Grandmama was spitting words of wisdom.
"Okay, no argument there, I don't deny I'm a bit of a narcissist, but come on, when you start seeing results, can you really say that nobody ever feels like a narcissist? I mean, hell, don't you ever look in the mirror and go 'Damn, I am a catch." He asked as his Grandmother gave him a plate of food.
"All the time, I'm just saying though, that's in private, its okay to admire yourself in private, but in public you have to do it tastefully." She sat down across from the table.
"Speaking of which, How is Grandad doing?" Jem hadn't seen him in a bit.
"You know your grandfather, after his recent heart attack and the doctor suggested he have a live in nurse, he fired her almost immediately and got back to work." His Grandmother giggled at her husband.
"Heh, I love that old man. He could die tomorrow, and someone would say he was missing an honest days work, and it would bring him back to life." Jem said as he was certain his Grandfather HATED vacation time.
The old man loved to work. He got his first job working on the farm when he was a kid going through the great depression, fought in WW2, worked as a mechanic for thirty years, you would think then he would have gladly spent his last years in peace enjoying the retired life. But he was retired for a year and hated it and went back to work.
Now that he thought about it, he aspired to be like that one day. A bad ass old man who did not give a single fuck. But who knows if he would ever be like that?
"You just got to stop worrying about women so much my little Jem." Jem groaned as she called him that.
"Please don't call me that, you promised after I grew taller than you that you would stop saying that." At this she smirked.
"I lied."
"Of course you did…"
"My point is, you worry too much about finding the right girl that you ovethink everything and tend to either scare them away or miss obvious hints, you just have to stop worrying about getting a woman to like you and wait for someone to come to you." She said as he raised an eyebrow.
"Isn't that kind of counter productive? Just wait? Nothing good ever came from waiting and sitting around doing nothing." At this she shook her head.
"No no no, I don't mean just sit at home and have a miserable shut in existence like some of those uhm…intellectually gifted but socially awkward individuals you went to school with." Grandmama was trying to be classy.
"You can call them geeks Grandma."
"I don't like that term, but my point is, you can still obviously go out and talk to women without thinking about dating, and before you know it, maybe you start to talk to one without thinking she could be your wife one day, and boom, instant grandbabies!" At this he deadpanned.
"Why is it so important for me to have kids?" He groaned as his grandmother laughed.
"Because your brother only gave me one grandchild, and your sister is going to be single for the rest of her life if she doesn't stop the no nonsense ballbreaking bitch routine." At this Jem choked on his coffee.
"Woah, Grandma, easy there with the insults."
"What? I'm serious, I can understand trying to portray yourself as tough, but acting like a stick in the mud never got anyone anywhere."
"Fair enough, still though, you're in your 80s, shouldn't you be trying to say nicer and sweeter grandma things?" He asked as she shook her head.
"Just because I still make you pancakes with a bacon smiley face doesn't mean I'm not allowed to call a bitch a bitch." She said as Jem chuckled.
"Even though I don't like hearing you cuss, I guess it is kinda funny to hear you say that." At this she just laughed with him.
"Hearing me cuss? You used to say Fuck as a verb, adjective, noun and pronoun." She giggled.
"Yeah, but I was in the military."
"And I was married to your Grandpa, trust me I've heard words you've never even heard of before."
"Point taken."
Oh well, it was time for Jem to sit down and have dinner with his family before returning to the motorhome for the night. More and more he had been working on repairs on that old thing, and with enough time, he maybe might even be able to travel in it. That would be a great way to travel across the US.
Granted, it still had a long ways to go.
But he had nothing but time now.
RWBY
"OH COME ON!" Ruby whined as she finally got off her shift.
Only for Winter to say she wanted to test her to make sure she was a worthy partner for her little sister. In other words, she wanted Ruby to demonstrate her skill with her weapon.
"I just got off of my shift!" She said as she really wanted to kick back and relax like everyone else had been doing.
"I know, I didn't want to interrupt your shift, so I waited until you were done." Winter said as if it was common sense.
Ruby would admit one thing, she did not get along with Weiss at first, but eventually they started to become good friends, with that being said, she was NOT enjoying this whole thing with Winter. She was very demanding and kind of bossy, again just like her sister, but the difference is that Ruby could see an end in sight when it came to Weiss, with Winter it was like dealing with Weiss on steroids. But there was one big major difference.
When Weiss was acting like an Ice Queen, occassionally she would do something mean that she was clearly in the wrong for and later apologized for it. Winter was actually making factual sense, so in other words, Ruby couldn't fight against that or she would seem like a child.
"Don't you think you should at least give her a few minutes to herself so she can rest up and get some food? She did just come off a guard shift." Yang asked as Winer nodded.
"I'll give her ten minutes." She said as she sat down by the fire.
Meanwhile Yang went to go talk with Ruby.
"You okay sis?"
"Ugh, no, its like dealing with Weiss after the crater face incident but even worse!" She pouted as she was getting Crescent Rose ready.
"Chin up, maybe you can do what you did with Weiss and get the Ice Empress to thaw a bit." At that, Ruby looked at her confused.
"Ice Empress?"
"Hey, Ice Queen was taken, and Empress sounds more senior, so hence why the senior Schnee is nicknamed Empress." Yang explaine herself.
"Okay, I still don't want to do this." Ruby said as she went through her dust pouches.
"Isn't that the ammo you just made?" Yang asked as she looked at a small box of dust ammunition that was labeled 'Friendship ammo'
"Oh this? This was something me and Weiss made together!" Ruby said as Yang raised a brow.
"Is that why its called Friendship ammo?" She asked as it had a picture of a heart on it.
"Yep, we haven't tested it out yet, so I don't even know what it does yet! But now is as good of a time as any." She said as she loaded some of the rounds into Crescent Rose.
"Is that really safe?" Yang was a bit worried about what could happen.
"Of course, its just dust! At most it will cause an explosion of excessive magnitude, but that's about it!" Ruby hummed as her earlier anger was forgotten as she was lost in the excitement of testing her new ammo out.
"Excessive magnitude?"
"Woops, sorry, been watching a lot of Loon Loon Toons." She said as she remembered the one alien character talking about big kabooms.
"New ammunition you say?" Winter appeared.
"EEP!" That came out of nowhere.
"I would like to see what you and my sister have created." Winter had to admit, she knew about her sister's work with dust, but combining them into something new? She had to see this.
"Uhm okay." Ruby said as she cocked Crescent rose.
"Wait!" Winter looked around and then turned Ruby towards an abandoned structure about 100 feet away from them.
"Aim at that, I don't want to take any chances." She said as she wasn't sure what was about to happen.
"Ruby! Are you sure that's a good idea?! We haven't tested it yet!" Weiss was a bit worried.
"Come on Weiss, no guts no glory right!" Ruby said as she took aim.
"If you haven't tested it yet, why is she carrying it?" Winter asked as Weiss looked down.
"Well, we were going to test it out on this mission."
"So I don't understand, whats the problem?"
"Well, we don't know if it will be a dud or not…" Weiss didn't want to embarrass herself in front of her sister.
"Ah chin up! It will be okay." Ruby said as she pulled the trigger.
They heard the sound of something akin to a bottle rocket go off from Ruby's scythe.
TINK
That was all they heard as they saw a small piece of the stone structure she was aiming at barely took any damage.
Everyone was silent as Weiss's eyes twitched, Winter looked on in disappointment, JNPR an the rest of RWBY while disappointed were also trying not to laugh. And Ruby was trying to figure out what went wrong.
"Where is the kaboom? There was supposed to be a boulder shattering kaboom!" She yelled as the freindship dust didn't go as planned.
"Well, I think its safe to say that-"
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHhh
Suddenly everyone felt themselves gripping onto something tight as a big star swirled vortex opened up in front of them, causing everything within a 100 foot radius to be sucked towards it or into it.
"RUBY! WHAT DID YOU DO?!" Weiss yelled as she didn't know what was going on.
"I DON'T KNOW IT WAS SUPPOSED TO EXPLODE! THAT'S WHAT YOU TOLD ME!"
"I NEVER SAID THAT! I SAID IT COULD EXPLODE!"
"WELL THEN WHAT ELSE WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN?!"
"I DON'T KNOW?! NOT THIS!" Weiss said as Winter felt her grip loosening.
"OH NO!" She said as she was hanging by the fingertips.
"AAAAHHH!" She yelled as she was sucked towards the vortex.
"WINTER!" Weiss yelled as she saw her sister get sucked in the vortex.
"NO!" She yelled as she let go to go after her.
"Wait sto-" Only to hit Ruby on her way towards it.
"OUCH!" Both the girls were sucked in.
"RUBY!" Yang yelled as she saw her sister get sucked in and immediately let go to go after her.
"DAMMIT YANG!" Blake yelled as she soon went after her partner.
And Team JNPR.
"YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME?!" They all yelled as they soon sighed and just let go and let themselves get sucked into the vortex.
Oum knows they had to go save their sister team.
The vortex closed up right behind them. Leaving a very confused Crow. Who had shown up just as the vortex closed, and he could have sworn his niece's team was camping here for the night? But he saw no trace of them, so maybe he got mixed up?
WINTER
"WHAT IS GOING ON?!" She yelled as she could still breath, she wasn't in any pain. But she could see stars and some kind of cosmic energy swiling all around her.
She felt herself going through some kind of wormhole as it felt like she was just falling constantly. But she had no way of stopping herself or slowing down.
"CAN SOMEONE STOP THIS CRAZY THING?!" She yelled as this was the first time she had lost her cool.
And if her prayers had been answered, she saw something at the end of the wormhole.
It was….white and blue…it appeared to be a vehicle! And…..And…
She was about to crash right into it.
"OH NO!" She yelled as she braced for impact.
Jem
"Ahhhh, I finally got the engine fixed!" Jem said as he was proud of himself.
The old beat up motorhome he had was finally ready to go on the road. He considered the endless possibilites he had for road trips now.
"Maybe I'll go to the badlands first! Or maybe further down south first! Or maybe to New York City! Or maybe-" And all of a sudden.
Something happened.
He heard the sound of something crashing into his roof, causing the top of his motorhome to cave in, and for some of the glass to be blown out onto the pad he was parked onto. The resulting force of whatever it was that landed on his ride also crushed certain parts of the engine meaning that all the money and work he just spent on it was completely wasted.
"….." He was silent.
And then his eyebrow started to twitch.
"WHAT…THE….FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK?!" He screamed out in rage.
"Are you fucking kidding me?!"
"I FINALLY GET THIS SHIT FIXED UP AND A FUCKING TREE COLLAPSES ON IT! FUCK THIS STUPID SHIT!" He yelled as he kicked a rock away.
He was certain it had to the tree he was parked under that caused it. Because what else could have fallen out of the clear sky.
Grumbling and pissed off, he opened the door to his motorhome.
"WHATEVER THE FUCK RUINED MY MOTORHOME I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL CUT THAT THING INTO A MILL-" Suddenly he was speechless.
Because sitting on his bed was a woman with white hair, whose clothes had been torn and ripped. And above all else, she looked scared as to what just happened, and adding onto the fact that she obviously had no idea where she was, she was freakin out.
Meanwhile Jem was looking her over, noticing her hair and her state of attire was similar to Winter Schnee from RWBY. But it obviously wasn't her, I mean come on, that shit only happened in really shitty fanfiction made by authors trying to indulge in a masturbation fantasy.
So…his brain came to one logical explanation.
"…..Did…..Did the gods just give me a big tittied cosplay girlfriend?"
