So I know I already went through the RWBY story, at least as far as it's gone in canon, but what if I did a team like many other people have done? I will still self-insert myself into this, in fact I'm putting my friends from school into the team with me, so that will be a thing. Sorry in advance that the others might not talk much, it's hard to decide who speaks when there are four people in one spot.

One thing I should warn you about is that I'm gonna do the same kind of ship that I had already done in my other fics, if you don't like OCxCanon Character ships then don't read this!

When I started this fic, I had no idea where I was going with it. Now? Now it's a very important part of the story for the universe that my fics all take place in. I'm really glad I started this fic now, cause of how important it's become and the ideas it's given me for the future of the world I created.

Also, I put romance and humor because adventure is kind of a given and doesn't really need to be put there.

Well, I hope you enjoy! Don't worry, my grammar improves after the first chapter, at least a little bit...

Disclaimer: I don't own RWBY or anything else used or referenced in this fic.

'This is what I get for going anywhere near the highschool.' A boy thought as he stood up.

He had wavy brown hair that normally was a lighter brown than it currently was, a dark green long sleeve shirt and light brown work pants. His eyes were a dull green that was almost grey, he had a fairly square jaw, he stood at 6'2 with his shoes on, 6'1 without. He may be tall but was quite thin, he had freckles, had an unnoticeable scar in his right eyebrow. His hair was long, long being a relative term, it split down the middle and would cover his eyes if it wasn't parted to either side.

"Friends are like 'Hey, AJ, come on over to the school, we're meeting there.' I don't want to go near that stupid school! I'm homeschooled for a reason!" AJ said to himself.

"Now what the hell am I going to do?" He was stuck in the middle of a forest with no idea where he was or what to do. So he just started walking, at one point he realized he was wearing a brown cape with a hood. "Like a Hunter's cloak, weird." He said to himself and wondered where the cloak came from but thought it looked cool and kept it on him.

He walked for awhile and was truly scared for his life, no idea how to survive out here and hoping to find civilization soon. He was carrying a branch that had fallen and was planning on using it as a weapon. A bush rustled and he turned to see a person standing there, he recognized him immediately.

"Sam!?" AJ asked the boy. The boy had dark brown hair like AJ has currently. Brown eyes, dark brown hair that was almost black, blue short sleeve shirt and dark blue jeans. He stood at 5'9. His hair wasn't as long as AJ's, and it was combed back, sort of like a James Bond villain.

"AJ!?" The boy Sam asked with his fairly deep voice.

…

""What the fuck are you doing here!"" They both shouted glad to see another human being in the forest.

"Do you know where we are?" AJ asked Sam.

"No. Do you know how we got here?" Sam asked.

"No. I just remember going to meet you guys at the school and then I was here in the forest."

"We need to get out of here."

"Heh, no shit. Let's just keep walking and hope we find someone else."

"Wait." Sam said.

"Ya?"

"What if the others are here?" Sam asked.

AJ's eyes went wide. "Well if you and I are here they might be as well! Let's just hope we come across them then."

They started walking and did so for awhile and hopelessly asked each other if they could remember what happened.

They heard rustling and turned around to see a big black bear with a bone mask with red eyes, it also had bone spikes on its body.

"Wait we're on Remnant?..." AJ deadpanned confused.

"What? Dude shoot that thing?" Sam yelled.

"Shoot it?! With what!?" AJ asked confused.

"That rifle on your back! You didn't know about it?" Sam asked.

"I have a rifle on my back?" AJ asked and reached under his cloak and pulled out an old lever action rifle. It was brown in most parts while the lever, barrel, and the point where shells are ejected are sliver metal, it didn't have any intricate marks on it but he couldn't help but admire the weapon, then remembered he needed to shoot the Grimm in front of him before his fantasy of being on Remnant comes true and kills him.

He put the stock to his right shoulder and looked down the iron sights.

"Shoot it already!" Sam yelled panicking.

"Sam, shut up for a minute!" AJ demanded.

AJ fired the shot excepting recoil for days and found he controlled it very well. He pointed the gun to the side and pulled the lever, the casing came out and flew by his head and he thought it looked like a .50 Cal casing but thought that couldn't be right. He pointed the gun back forward and saw the thing had taken the hit with a big hole in its shoulder, the Ursa Grimm roared and charged so AJ fired again, then again, then again, then again, when the thing fell and wasn't moving he fired into it three more times to be sure.

'Damn Major.' AJ thought.

"Dude. That was loud." Sam said but AJ was too lost in his adrenaline to hear him.

"Hey are you ok?" Sam asked and AJ spun around from the contact of Sam's hand on his shoulder. "Whoa, it's ok, you got him." Sam said raising his hands hoping to calm his old "Friend" down.

AJ breathed heavily for a minute longer and finally calmed down.

"I have never had to kill something to protect myself before ok?" AJ said still shaking from adrenaline. "But I think we're gonna have to do it a lot more."

"Why?" Sam asked.

"Have you ever watched a show called RWBY?" AJ asked.

"No, what's that have to do with this?" Sam asked.

"Well I think we might be in that show right now." AJ explained.

"We're in a show? Seriously?" Sam asked and when AJ nodded he sighed. "As long as it isn't an anime…"

AJ flinched.

"Well… some would call it that…" AJ said sheepishly.

"Excuse me?" Sam started in a threatening tone hoping AJ is lying.

"Others would call it a cartoon or something… cause it was American made… I really don't know what others call it." AJ said now avoiding eye contact.

"What do you call it then?" Sam asked still threateningly.

"… An anime…"

"Are you serious?" Sam deadpanned.

"Don't get angry at me about it please." AJ pleaded and reached for his gun which was on his back again.

"WHY ME!?" Sam yelled and fell on his knees so AJ walked up and put a hand on his shoulder.

"It's not that bad. I'll help you out if you want." AJ suggested hopefully.

"No. I just want to get out of this damn world!" Sam wished.

"Why are you so angry about this?" AJ asked as Sam stood up and glared at him.

"I hate anime." He said and started walking.

"I did not know that." AJ said simply and started following him holding his gun tightly.

"So those things are called Grimm?" Sam asked.

AJ had been explaining the world while they walked blindly through the forest.

"Yes, they are evil and only attack humans, they are attracted to negative emotion so if you could just suddenly stop hating anime then we might not get attacked and torn apart." AJ requested and Sam glared at him. " You see, that's not helping." Sam sighed and kept looking around.

"So will any characters from the show fly in and save us?" Sam asked.

"I don't know unfortunately. We might be in the world but not in the canon story for all we know, we might be stuck with each other in this world for all I know, which I'm sure you hate as much as I do, but we're going to have to work together in order to not die." AJ explained.

"We probably don't have Aura and maybe Isaac and Raymond and Kyle and Casey and Ryan and Vincent and Steven aren't even in this world with us, or maybe they are, but we need to focus on survival now." AJ said.

"And Aura is some sort of personal shield you said?" Sam asked.

"In a way…" AJ answered and glanced back over at Sam for a moment. "If I have a random weapon maybe you have one as well… I'm pretty sure you didn't have two large hatchets before." AJ said pointing at Sam's waist.

"What?" Sam asked looking down and saw two large hatchets that were like small war axes on either side of his waist attached to a belt he didn't have before.

"These aren't mine." Sam pointed out.

"Neither is this rifle, but I think that's how it is now for both of us." AJ guessed.

The axes had a wooden grip painted blue with an iron strip going down the handle. The blades were tinted blue slightly.

"Whoa." AJ said curiously, then backed away. "Careful with those."

Sam began swinging his new toys around and getting a feel for them, hacking at a tree a few times.

There was a button at the bottom of the handle which he pressed and the weapons mecha-shifted into two sawed off shotguns.

"Heh, good luck with recoil." AJ commented.

"Well it looked like yours didn't have much recoil so maybe it will be the same for me?" Sam thought out loud.

"Unless our time here is brief, you are going to need to learn how to use those, and I'm going to need to practice with my rifle." AJ suggested.

"I feel like I know how to use these already." Sam pointed out.

"You know, now that you mention it, I kind of feel like I already know how to use my rifle…" AJ said and realized how odd and ominous that sounded.

They came across a large clearing and as they walked through it a pack of Beowolves came out.

"And those are Grimm?" Sam asked pulling out his axes.

"Yep, Beowolves, not very smart but don't let them hit you, I still think we don't have Aura and they will tear through you if you don't have it." AJ said. 'Seriously, I thought going to Remnant would be fun instead I'm with someone who annoyed me and I haven't seen let alone spoken too in a long time and we might just end up dying gruesome deaths right here.'

AJ started firing his rifle at the group and was taking them out with headshots from his powerful yet almost recoil free lever action rifle.

Sam waited till any of them got close as they had gone over a plan for this already. Stay close to each other.

One did manage to get close and AJ jumped back letting Sam take a swing at it. He got it across the chest and quickly chopped its arm off killing it oddly enough. It was hard enough for Sam to do this, neither of these 17 year olds had killed anything with a blade but adrenaline carried him forward and the distinct lack of blood made it bearable.

AJ continued to shoot them down before they got in range and he kept waiting for his gun to run out of ammo but as it never happened he soon forgot about it and was lost in his focused fire, it was like he was in a trance, firing and immediately doing the lever action while keeping the gun perfectly straight and then firing again. He had never used this gun before yet he was taking them down with pretty high accuracy. His dad said he was a good shot but he was pretty sure it wasn't that.

Sam had to kill four more that snuck up on them, he was swinging through muscle memory even though he had barely used these axes before, he saw two coming right for him and he decided try the shotguns. He liked shotguns, and actually enjoyed firing both shotguns into the black werewolves and having them torn apart by the power behind them, yet so little recoil, he found it strange but was also in a trance as he fought so he didn't think on it.

They had soon taken out the large pack and were trying to calm down after their first full fight.

"That was actually really fucking fun…" AJ said smiling as he looked up from his sitting position at Sam who sat in front of him.

"I noticed." Sam agreed between breaths.

"We shouldn't have to do this… killing things… we are just kids, we weren't raised to do this… although I did imagine coming to this world… I forgot about the fact that something would have to be my first… kill…" He actually didn't like saying that. He didn't like having to kill these things, but it was a lot of fun actually. He kind of fanboy'd in his head about this whole scenario.

"At least it was an evil monster and not another person." Sam pointed out.

"Ya… man it would be much worse if it was someone else… I would definitely do it to protect myself but would definitely hate it.

I honestly have fantasies of doing cool shit like this and now that I'm past doing it for the first time where all I cared about was surviving… I might start having a lot of fun with this." AJ said smiling.

"I don't want to do this anymore, I want to go home." Sam said.

"Me too. But that isn't something we have control over right now, let's just keep walking." AJ said as he had calmed down now.

Sam stood up and they started to walk away from the clearing when something purple appeared on the floor at AJ's feet.

"Look up?" AJ read the purple writing etched into the grass and look up to see two people falling from the sky.

He backed up and a purple platform appeared and caught the two figures as it sank to reduce the fall.

The four all stared at each other for a few moments in absolute silence.

"NO FUCKING WAY!" AJ yelled.

"AJ!? SAM!? WHAT ARE WE ALL DOING HERE!?" The shorter of the two new figures asked.

"Isaac?" AJ asked the bulkier figure that stood at his height.

"That really you AJ?" Isaac asked.

"Yep. And to answer your question Raymond, I don't know how we got here but I can tell we're on Remnant." AJ said calmly but couldn't help but smile seeing his best friend was there as well.

"NO SHIT! We just fell from a Nevermore! Just like Ruby and Weiss did!" Raymond explained smiling from excitement.

"Ya and I still don't like the idea even if we did find AJ and Sam." Isaac added in.

Isaac and Raymond both have black hair, combed to the right, but Raymond's curls at the end, both have brown eyes, and are in no way related, oddly enough.

Raymond is a Latino.

Raymond stood at 5'11 while Isaac stood at 6'2 like AJ.

Raymond and AJ both know about the show RWBY and had explained anything that came to mind to their partners.

Raymond had a purple trench coat on and purple jeans and no visible weapons, Isaac had a scary looking black trench coat with spikes around the neck and black pants with a black two handed war axe on his back with a black and purple blade and the whole thing had black spikes on it all above the grip and on the blade as well.

"So did you see where we are? Where Beacon is maybe?" AJ asked Raymond hopefully.

"Yep! I can't believe we're actually in Remnant! Mind if I nerd out for a minute?" Raymond asked.

"Been doing that this whole time dude!" AJ exclaimed smiling and they both freaked out and started talking about Remnant and maybe meeting RWBY and Ozpin and JNPR and fighting off Grimm with style and-

"WE GET IT!" Sam yelled.

"We need to get out of here guys, and maybe get home." Isaac requested.

"Raymond do you want to go back to Earth or fight Grimm and be a part of RWBY?" AJ asked with a knowing smile.

"Well… I would still like to go back to Earth but… maybe we could stay for a while?" Raymond asked smiling basically agreeing with AJ.

"Well either way we need to find some civilization so TO BEACON WE GO!" AJ said and went to start walking. "Which way is it?" He asked Raymond and Isaac.

"This way." Raymond said. "But first." He pulled out two pistols. "You and Sam take one."

"Aren't these… those guns the two detectives had near the end of Volume 1?" AJ asked Raymond.

"I thought they looked familiar! We found them in the middle of a clearing, no idea, but when we touched them they changed, see?" Raymond asked pointing at the guns.

When AJ touched his it turned brown like his rifle, when he held back his hand, it stayed that way, so he took it finally. When Sam touched his it turned light blue.

"And look at ours." Raymond said and he and Isaac held out their identical pistols except the color part. Raymond's was purple while Isaac's was red and black.

"Weird." AJ said wondering why they reacted to them.

"So what's a Nevermore, Raymond?" Sam asked.

"A bird Grimm, they can get REALLY big. We rode one to get a better view and found you guys." Raymond answered.

Just then a whole pack of large black feathers hit around them and a loud caw alerted them to said Grimm.

"What the hell?!" Sam said.

"Well that did happen in canon so I shouldn't be surprised." AJ said deadpanned.

"You pissed it off didn't you?" Sam asked the two trench coat wearers.

"Well we did cling to it while it was flying." Isaac said.

"Ya it didn't like that when Ruby and Weiss did it either." AJ pointed out.

"Maybe that hasn't happened yet!?" Raymond wondered.

"Or they might have died from old age in this time! We. Don't. Know. So let's just run, shall we? Not sure if we could kill something like that…" AJ said and they all ran through the forest while random feathers came in and nearly killed them.

They eventually made it to a familiar clearing with a familiar ruin and AJ and Raymond ran over to see it for themselves, forcing their partners to follow. While they were there the Nevermore fired another volley at them and Raymond put his hands out in front of him while they glowed purple, causing a purple wall to appear before them and block the feathers. AJ looked at Raymond who grinned at him.

"So you get fucking magic!?" AJ asked pointing at him with both arms.

"Ya, I'm pretty sure that's my Semblance." Raymond explained.

"Wait, you unlocked your Aura?!" AJ asked disbelievingly.

Raymond nodded. "Yep, so did Isaac, you guys probably did as well."

"I don't think so… The least my weapon could do is mecha-shift! COME ON!" AJ complained, then sighed. " Whatever, just shoot it! Quickly!" AJ ordered.

Raymond put his hands out in front of him and fired off purple energy blasts, AJ fired with his lever action rifle and Isaac's axe converted into a long barreled modern M14 with suppressor and without a scope and fired it, it fired slowly and sounded like it was firing a very high caliber round despite the suppressor. Sam had shotguns so he could only stand and wait to see if they could hurt it.

One of them hit the Grimm in the eye and it landed crying out in pain, so Isaac charged it and went to cut its head off, it tried to get up to its feet but Raymond formed something similar to a guillotine and trapped its head for Isaac to act as the falling blade and kill it.

The axe blade wasn't large enough so it cut into its neck but didn't kill it instantly, Raymond couldn't hold it anymore and collapsed onto his knees while the crying Nevermore struggled to eat them or claw them even as it slowly died.

AJ and Sam backed up while firing at its open mouth and scored a few hits, Isaac snuck up from the side and cut at one of the legs with a horizontal swing. It wounded it put it spun around and hit Isaac with one of its wings.

"Isaac!" AJ called out hoping he was ok.

Isaac stood up and looked up at the Nevermore angrily. His eyes glowed bright blue and his axe's blade was suddenly covered in bright blue flame. He twirled his weapon above his head a few times and used the momentum for a horizontal swing that cut off the leg he cut earlier.

AJ really wished he had something more powerful and as he thought that his weapon mecha-shifted into a brown rocket launcher. He questioned this and then decided to just fire it into the thing's chest knocking it back, somehow it balanced on one foot just taunting him.

"Just die already!" AJ yelled and charged. His weapon mecha-shifted again into a brown war hammer and he slammed it into the Grimm, there was an explosion on contact since he had copied the design of Nora's hammer, knocking it down. He jumped on it and his weapon became a long sword which he stabbed into its throat after a few stabs broke through the tough feathers. It finally stopped moving after that and began disintegrating.

Isaac and Sam sighed in relief glad they had killed such a large creature while AJ and Raymond were cheering about how they had fought and killed a Nevermore, albeit Raymond was too weak to do much more than fist pump, still breathing heavily.

After some more cheering and self-congratulating they started to walk towards Beacon but were stopped by an airship that landed in front of them, and THE Headmaster Ozpin stepped out.

They were all glad to know civilization was here, but AJ and Raymond were trying to contain their emotion, AJ simply went with other thoughts entirely to hide his true emotion.

"YOU COULD HAVE COME EARLIER!" AJ complained. Yes he hid his feelings very well.

"Sorry about that, I wanted to make sure you weren't any thing dangerous, I'm sure you understand." Ozpin explained. AJ nodded but still looked disappointed with him.

"So… can you help us?" Isaac asked the man.

"With what? Killing Grimm with style or helping you get back to Earth?" Ozpin asked smiling smugly.

Shock was shown on the faces of Raymond, Sam, and Isaac while AJ's eyes simply widened and then he had an impressed and amused smile. He sort of expected this from Ozpin.

"It certainly is interesting to hear that you are part of an internet series in another world." Ozpin said as he approached them with his usual cane and coffee mug.

""So you heard all that huh?"" AJ and Raymond said laughing sheepishly.

"Well I'm sure you must know about the cameras stationed throughout the forest? Or is that not in the show?" Ozpin asked.

"Oh no, they are sir." Raymond answered.

"Odd that two of you know about the show and two of you don't… I wonder why whatever brought you here did that." Ozpin said.

"Well, we don't know sir." Raymond said.

"We just want to get home." Sam said.

"Oh but I don't think all of you want to go home right away." Ozpin said and looked at AJ.

AJ looked away. "Hey, I was thinking about writing fanfiction before this happened ok?" He said defensively yet shyly.

"Well I think you all would have some use what with those weapons of yours. Weapons that you apparently just woke up with. And since you have nowhere else to go, and I can try to figure out a way to get you all back home, why not come to my school? Who knows, maybe you'll meet those 'characters' you were talking about." He said smiling and got back in the ship excepting them to get in with him, which they did.

"He heard what we said, so he heard the names we used, he definitely knows if we are going to see them or not, and judging by that grin, we are." AJ pointed out to them before they got in range of Ozpin's hearing.

"I am so excited!" Raymond said.

"I'm not anymore… I don't want to look stupid in front of them." AJ said.

"That doesn't matter, as long as we can get back to Earth someday." Sam said.

"Ya ya, I know." AJ waved him off.

"The less time I have to spend in an anime the better…" Sam grumbled.

They landed in front of the school and all four of them stopped to stare in awe at the massive structures of Beacon Academy.

"I believe AJ and Raymond have explained much of this world already to you two in the back, Isaac and Sam." Ozpin said and the two in the back nodded. " They have already told you what we do as Huntsman and Huntresses of Remnant, and what goes on in this school. I feel the only problems you all will have will be understanding the full History of Remnant, and getting around in the maze we call the halls." He said chuckling.

"But I'm sure you'll be fine, we'll have to give you a tour of the school, and give you your dorm room. As you know, we work with teams of four, I feel that whatever sent you here knew that and now you are here with your weapons and abilities. We have much to show and do, come on." He said and they continued walking to the academy.

They were shown around, given a room, and left to their own devices. Apparently the new school year starts tomorrow, so they would find out soon if they were stuck in Remnant, or stuck in CANON Remnant.

"And now we just wait until Ozpin finds something that can help us get back?" Isaac asked the others as they checked around their dorm and decided on who got which bed.

"Yep." AJ said simply.

Sam sighed. "So even in another world we still have school?" He complained.

"It's our cover, so ya. We are basically students here now." Raymond said.

"That's gonna be fun, having to sit in a class again. I am homeschooled for a god damn reason!" AJ said as he lied down on the left bed opposite the door, after taking off his cloak and setting his rifle down on the side of the bed.

"How is homeschooling anyway?" Isaac asked as he sat on the left bed closest to the door.

"Well it was fun and easy, as long as you remembered to do your work." AJ said with an annoyed tone, he hated the idea of having normal classes again.

"Oh, actually, Ozpin said we won't have to do homework, just sit through the classes." Sam said as he stood near the right bed next to the door. "Like you said, we aren't students."

"Why didn't I hear this wonderful news!?" AJ asked.

"You were daydreaming along with Raymond, looking at everything." Isaac answered. "The place looks awesome and all, but you guys just weren't focusing."

"Well sorry, my dream just came true is all!" AJ said sitting up and throwing his arms up before falling back down.

"Same." Raymond said sitting on the right bed farthest from the door.

Basically there was a bed at each corner.

They sat there for awhile and talked about different things until AJ interrupted Sam and Raymond as politely as possible.

"Guys, we should go test out our weapons, we passed by a few training rooms earlier in the tour." AJ suggested.

"Sure. I'm up for that." Isaac said.

"Ya I guess." Said Sam.

"Ozpin said we weren't supposed to fight yet but sure!" Raymond said.

"Why?" AJ asked.

"We were going to see if you and Sam had your Aura unlocked yet tomorrow." Raymond answered.

"Let's find out now." AJ said smiling.

"Do you remember how to get there?" Isaac asked.

"I think I do." Raymond said.

"Same. Hopefully we both can figure it out." AJ said.

It took them half an hour to find it in the massive academy.

""Finally!"" AJ said excitedly and Sam said annoyed.

"So again, what do we got?" Raymond asked excitedly.

"I got a rifle, usually it's this lever action rifle but apparently" AJ said and the rifle turned into a one handed sword with no guard, the handle was silver metal and the blade was dark brown. "It can mecha-shift… a lot! I turned it into a war hammer, a rocket launcher, this sword, long sword, the lever action rifle of course, I have no idea why I got this ridiculous weapon or where the ammo is coming from but I love it!" AJ exclaimed. "Not sure what to call it yet…"

"I have this war axe, it transforms into a modern M14 with a suppressor for some reason. I don't think it fires as fast as it should though. Whatever it fires is about as powerful as AJ's lever action but you know, lever action looks cooler." Isaac said and AJ smirked. "I'm gonna call mine 'Silent Antagonist'."

"I have these two axes that turn into sawed off shotguns. Not much else to say really. Though I will admit if there is one cool thing this anime has, it's mecha-shifting, that's pretty cool." Sam said. "I'll call mine the 'Blue Devils', don't ask where the name came from I have no idea."

"I know right!? Mecha-shifting is awesome! I don't really have a weapon though, I have this magic that I'm pretty sure is my Semblance but it doesn't use up my Aura so I'm not sure. At least it's purple." Raymond finished smiling and AJ rolled his eyes smiling at the inside joke.

"So, let's try this stuff out in this safer environment shall we? I'll go first if you don't mind." AJ said and they all shook their heads, saying they don't mind.

First there was a shooting range where he fired off a few rounds at the targets, satisfied he went into the arena to hit real targets, the training bots.

"You got this AJ!" Raymond yelled.

AJ stood with his weapon in one handed sword mode and went for the first bot, they clashed blades. AJ kicked the bot back and sliced at its arm, it blocked and attempted to return the favor, he parried the hit leaving an opening to cut the bot in half, he failed and was hit before he could block. He panicked and looked down, he saw no mark but saw a yellow glow for a moment and realized his Aura HAD been unlocked.

He got up charged again, this time when he parried he was able to cut it diagonally in half.

"Well the lack of a guard is annoying." He said to himself looking over his sword.

Another bot charged him and he got an idea. He pulled out the pistol Raymond had given him and it mecha-shifted into a shield, his main weapon mecha-shifting into a spear. 'So that's what the pistol does now, I guess we effect the pistols in some way… but why?' Raymond quickly recognized AJ was being a copycat.

He blocked the bot with his spear and the spear became the rifle as he fired point blank, the bot took the hit and still kept going, trying for a vertical slash. AJ blocked with his shield and spun swapping to a sword, by pulling the lever down since he fired but so far down that it went over the barrel side of the gun and the rest of the weapon shifted into the blade, and slashing. The bot blocked it and he stopped his spin to bring his weapon back in gun mode swing it like it was still a sword but fire again, right through the chest. The bot stopped moving then and collapsed.

He looked over his shoulder at his friends. "So I realized if my weapon could mecha-shift into a bunch of different things I could fight like Pyrrha does!"

"Ya I noticed!" Raymond said.

One more bot came at him and he simply turned his weapon into a war hammer and hit it like he was playing golf.

"K. I think we don't have much time till dark so I won't waste anymore of your guys' time." AJ said smiling and walked out of the arena portion of the room.

"Well I'll go next then." Sam said and walked up.

He took out his axes and stood ready for his first opponent.

Sword clashed with axe but Sam has two so he swung out where the bot left itself open but it jumped back.

Sam clashed again with the bot and swapped his right axe to shotgun mode and fired point blank destroying it. A few more charged at him and he took them out with his dual shotguns. One snuck up behind him and he spun around as his weapons mecha-shifted back to axes to block the vertical strike downward, leaving the bot open for a slash that took its head off.

Sam looked up at his friends who were clapping.

"Really not much to it." Sam said with a cocky tone. "Not like AJ who has a ton of different weapons, I think I'll try them out more tomorrow." He said as he walked back to them.

""I'll go next."" Raymond and Isaac said, looked at each other, then simultaneously went and did rock-paper-scissors.

"Yes!" Isaac fist pumped and walked out.

"Paper shouldn't beat rock it's so stupid." Raymond mumbled to himself, AJ heard this and chuckled.

Isaac took out his menacing spiked axe and held it tight.

He swung the massive weapon with ease and kept the bots from even getting near him. He could swing with perfect timing and precision to knock their weapons out of their hands and then the next swing would cut them in half.

A bot came straight at him and he simply twirled the weapon above his head, taking out a bot behind him that had jumped him, and finished the twirl by bringing it down diagonally and cutting the bot in half.

He swapped his weapon to gun mode and fired into the next few bots, taking them out with one or two shots to the chest, and sometimes going for a headshot.

After a few easy kills he switched back to axe mode and used his Semblance. His eyes glowed blue and blue flame covered his weapon, when he was attacked from all sides he simply spun dragging his weapon along the ground and tripping all the bots, while they were still suspended in the air, he finished the spin by slamming his blade on the ground like it was a hammer, causing blue flame to shoot out along the ground in all directions and taking out the bots.

He stood up and grinned at his friends.

"Hell ya! That is an epic Semblance!" AJ shouted.

"Meh, its ok." Sam said.

"You're just jealous you don't know what yours is yet." Raymond said grinning.

"I don't know what mine is yet either. Anyway, your turn Raymond." AJ said as Isaac came back.

Raymond and AJ were just really damn excited now, they got to be in Remnant, they were still alive, and they awesome weapons and the ones that have Semblances are pretty awesome. They didn't get to show off like this back on Earth.

Raymond made a long sword out of purple energy and had a good old fashioned sword fight with the first bot. When he cut it down he went to two single handed swords and fought against two bots easily. When three came at him he waved his hands and a volley of purple sickle blades flew out and cut the three into little pieces.

For the next bots he went with one sword in his right hand.

He parried an attack from his right and blasted it with purple energy with his left hand, two came after and he put a wall in front of the left one while he blocked the right one with his sword, he pushed the wall he had made at the left bot and crushed it against the wall, then turned back to the one he fought and knocked its sword out of the way and stabbed in it the chest.

One snuck up behind him and he made a shield in his left hand to block the blow, the bot was pushing hard and he removed the blade in his right hand to fire a blast of energy into it destroying it.

Three bots jumped him from behind, front left, and front right. He raised both hands to create a scythe like Ruby has with his purple energy Semblance, then spun around rapidly while swinging the blade around them and when he stopped spinning the bots were still in the air then fell to pieces and he turned around to pose like Ruby does with his scythe over his shoulder, then his excitement went away and exhaustion caught up with him. His weapon disappeared and he fell panting.

The others came out to check on him.

"Bad. Ass!" AJ said.

"That was awesome Raymond!" Isaac commented.

"Ya I'll admit that was kind of cool." Sam said.

"I bet my weapon could probably become a scythe as well." AJ said to himself, before testing it out and next thing they knew he was holding a light and dark brown version of Ruby's scythe. "HELL YES!"

"Alright, I'm tired, can I go to bed now?" Raymond asked.

"Heh, sure." AJ said and Isaac helped Raymond walk back to their dorm.

They were stopped by Ozpin just before they walked in.

"Well you four had fun." Ozpin said.

They all turned around to see him.

"Oh, hello Professor." Sam said sheepishly.

"Don't worry, you aren't in trouble, you may not know it, but you all have your Aura's unlocked, otherwise the arena wouldn't have started for you. So that's one less thing to worry about." Ozpin explained. "I just wanted to make sure you all knew that."

"Oh, thank you then." AJ said before they all went in their dorm after saying goodnight.

"I can't wait to see if we are in canon RWBY or not!" Raymond said as he lied down in his bed.

"Me neither." AJ said lying down in his own bed.

AJ was able to truly confirm on that night that Raymond does in fact fall asleep to dubstep.

They all settled in and about an hour later AJ realized he was the only one still awake. He sighed and closed his eyes, the sound of the heavy wind outside was bothering him and he couldn't sleep, so he got up and paced around in the room. It wasn't helping his mind relax and he thought he might wake up his friends and they would probably ask what's wrong so he left the dorm. He walked the halls for a bit before finding the door leading to the roof above their dorm.

He stood out on the roof, the winds blowing his hair around, he closed his eyes and enjoyed the cold winds. He felt relaxed as he stood there and felt the wind in his hair and on his face, eventually he went back inside and the cold feeling on his skin felt oddly relaxing to him, before he knew it he was back in their dorm and he finally fell asleep.

There was a voice in his dream that said "Sorry about this, this was supposed to have happened earlier."

Meanwhile in the conscious world AJ was writhing in pain but stayed asleep despite that.

"Hey, AJ. Wake up." Raymond said quietly and tapped AJ's arm. AJ grumbled and turned away from him.

"Hey. I thought you and Raymond wanted to see if the canon characters are here or not?" Isaac asked, this got AJ to move but he was hardly awake.

"Is it after noon?" AJ asked quietly rubbing his eyes.

"No. Why?" Sam asked.

"Fuck you." Was all AJ said before he stood up and went to the restroom.

"He normally doesn't wake up till after noon and doesn't get moving till 1 or 2. So this is probably really tiring for him." Raymond explained. They got ready and AJ finally stepped out of the restroom more alert and ready to go, he had already showered last night so he didn't take long.

"Hey AJ?" Isaac started and AJ nodded saying he was listening. "There is something we kind of need to explain to you, brace yourself ok? Try not to freak out." AJ was now dreading whatever they were about to say.

"You seem to have… changed overnight." Sam said. AJ simply looked at them confused.

"You're whole 'part cat' joke isn't really a… joke anymore…" Raymond said and AJ looked confused for a second longer before he froze and his eyes sparkled with joy.

"Are you saying I'm a Faunus?" AJ asked smiling ear to ear.

"Um… well… ya." Isaac explained.

AJ felt his head and found his two cat ears on his head, he also felt something against his leg and saw he had a tail the same color as his hair. He rushed back into the restroom and looked in the mirror (which he had somehow overlooked) to check the ears and saw they blended with his hair as they were also light brown. He also noticed his eyes had changed. He hadn't seen his eyes look this way in years, they were a very vibrant green now and they had flecks of gold in them. He remembered his eyes looking like this for about a week and thought they would never look this way again, but clearly they are.

Sam and the others still weren't sure if he would take this well and the sudden shouts of joy from the restroom let them sigh in relief.

"BEST DAY EVER!" AJ shouted before running out. "Come on! Let's go meet the future first years!" He said confidently and ran out without them.

"The day just started though…" Sam said and they all sighed before running to keep up with him, they noticed he was moving faster than normal and was able to dash through the crowds even better than he normally could, now he actually never hit anyone.

They eventually made it out to the landing area for the ships and just in time to see the explosion the Ruby and Weiss cause.

"You complete dolt! This is exactly what I was talking about!" Weiss yelled. AJ took a moment to think of how to approach this while Raymond caught up.

"You know, I think we shouldn't mess with canon." Raymond pointed out breathing heavily.

"Inevitably we will, might as well do our best to make it better!" AJ said before walking up to the two girls.

"Hey! Ice Queen!" AJ called out in a friendly tone.

"Excuse me!?" Weiss shouted and looked at the boy, then looked at him in disgust.

"Could you leave the poor girl alone?" AJ pleaded still smiling.

"Why should I? You saw what happened didn't you!?" Weiss asked.

"Ya, you started shaking Dust around and she sneezed because of it. Basically it's your fault." AJ explained and Ruby giggled slightly.

Weiss glared at him, then noticed the three boys approaching from behind the rude cloaked boy.

"Is this your friend?" Weiss asked the boys. They nodded. "Then keep him on a shorter leash! Maybe teach him some manners!" Raymond glared at her.

"Oh! Ow! It hurts!" AJ shouted clutching his chest overdramatically. "Racist animal remarks are kind of childish don't you think Princess?" AJ asked smiling again and getting in her face.

"It's heiress actually." A girl answered and AJ simply smiled more realizing he was still following canon, and probably not helping Weiss's opinion of Faunus but he would worry about that later. He looked at Blake and saw she was already glaring at Weiss. 'No doubt angry about the leash comment.'

"Weiss Schnee, heiress of the Schnee Dust company, one of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world, also infamous for their controversial labor forces and questionable business partners." Blake explained and Weiss returned the girl's glare before taking back her Dust jar and stomping off.

Blake pulled AJ to the side. "You ok?"

"Ya, of course." AJ said surprised to see Blake being so friendly already.

"It's just that I've never seen someone take a racist remark like that so well." Blake explained still looking angry about the comment.

AJ looked back at his friends. "Well I have had to deal with a lot of random hate so I kind of just don't care anymore. That stuff doesn't usually get to me."

Blake hmm'd in thought before turning and leaving, so AJ walked back to his friends.

"So, I'm Raymond!" Raymond said to Ruby.

"I'm Isaac."

"Sam."

"I go by AJ." He said as he walked up to them.

"Well I'm Ruby! Thanks for helping me by the way." Ruby said.

"No problem." AJ said before remembering something. "Oh! I just remembered we have to do something! Bye! Come on Raymond." He said as he dragged Isaac and Sam away despite Isaac's complaints and Sam's struggling.

"Hey, wait! I wanna see what weapons you have!..." Ruby called out before sinking down in depression. 'Perfect.'

"What was that for!? I was finally gonna talk to Ruby!" Raymond complained.

"Well I needed her to sink like that so Jaune could come over." AJ explained.

"Who the hell is Jaune!?" Sam complained as AJ finally released them.

"Well I guess that makes sense then…" Raymond said still not liking being taken from a conversation with Ruby.

"I'll explain later, right now we have to go to the amphitheater." AJ said and started walking to where all the other students were headed.

They stayed in their group while moving through the crowd and waited for the speech that Ozpin will give. They stayed out of the issue with Weiss and Ruby and Yang, and everything went by smoothly.

Once Weiss left Ruby noticed the guys and they introduced themselves to Yang, Yang thanked AJ for helping his sister and AJ humbly said it was nothing.

That night they went to the ballroom and slept there only because Ozpin suggested it and Glynda demanded it. AJ and Raymond insisted they stay out of the way for now, as long as the teams stay the same, nothing really bad will happen. Then they can really join in if they want, but it's just too dangerous right now.

AJ did look around and when he saw Blake looking in his direction he looked away quickly, not seeing Blake do the same thing.

The next day they grabbed their gear and left before Ruby could freak out over their weapons. They stood at the lunch pads, AJ and Raymond decided not to mention to Isaac and Sam that they were about to be sent flying and got a kick out of their reactions when they were launched.

AJ didn't see how the others landed because he had his own problems… he didn't know how to land. He quickly thought of how Ruby landed and used his weapon to do the same thing. Once safely on the ground he started walking and hoped to god that they wouldn't screw anything up in canon.

Rustling in the bushes made him look down. "Who is it?" He called out.

"It's Isaac."

"Really!? YES! Hopefully Sam and Raymond find each other!" AJ said happily and made eye contact with Isaac so they could move on as partners.

They went through the forest unnoticed for awhile and came across one lone Beowolf on the way but they took care of it and soon found themselves in the clearing along with future team RWBY and future team JNPR.

"Ok, so we haven't messed anything up." AJ said to Isaac. "But where are Raymond and Sam then?"

They looked around while Ruby charged the Deathstalker that had chased Pyrrha there when a wave of water came out from the forest carrying Sam while Raymond had made a surf board out of his purple energy, they both looked like they were running from something. Oh, did I mention the water is red? No? Well it is. The same red as Ruby's cloak.

"What did you do this time Raymond?" AJ deadpanned.

"Huh? Oh nothing much just PISSED OFF A DEATHSTALKER! You know, those things are much scarier in person!" Raymond yelled.

"Alright and where did the water come from?" Isaac asked them.

"Oh, Sam discovered his Semblance!" Raymond said excitedly.

"Cool! So, a blue theme with your clothes and now a water Semblance?" AJ asked Sam. 'Even though the water is red it still is water and water us usually blue… so there is still a theme here as far as I'm concerned.'

"It's not like I asked for this or anything." Sam pointed out.

"So where is it then?" AJ asked.

"Should be here right about…" Raymond paused and another Deathstalker came crashing out. "Now…" AJ looked back for a moment and noticed the Deathstalker from canon had already been frozen… and was already gone… 'How long have we been standing here and why didn't it attack us?'

"Ok. Let's make it simple and just do what JNPR did." AJ suggested.

"We don't have a cliff, first of all, and second of all we should be creative and not just copy them." Raymond said.

"OUR LIVES ARE ON THE LINE! This is not the time for creativity!" AJ yelled. (OH I'LL GIVE YA CREATIVITY!)

"Too bad." Raymond said simply and threw out a few sickles with a wave of his hand, all the sickles bounced off leaving scratches on the armor. "K, that won't work."

"I mean come on! Their stinger is pretty much the only thing that can get through the armor, so it's not like we have a choice!" AJ complained while Sam charged it and was knocked down.

"You say you're so smart! Think of something else!" Raymond demanded. AJ grumbled and tried to think outside the box.

Sam and Isaac charged it, both firing at its eyes hoping to damage them. Their shots all bounced off so Isaac tried using his Semblance to power his weapon, Sam used his water Semblance to get Isaac above the Grimm and try to smash it with his blue fire covered axe and it cracked the armor but did little more, he barely dodged the stinger and jumped back next to Sam. They both pulled out their pistols and went to fire at the eyes again but noticed their weapons were pulling towards each other and they pulled away from the strange magnetism.

"What was that?" Sam asked Isaac.

"No idea."

"What if all the pistols can do that?" Raymond asked, they both suddenly smiled.

"Do you get the feeling it makes some ultimate weapon?" AJ asked Raymond.

"Yep." Raymond said nodding. "Come over here guys! Quick!" The others ran over and they put their different colored pistols together and observed as it mech-shifted into a ridiculously large over the shoulder launcher that looked like it fired a sound wave.

"Bass Cannon Ready For Firing." A deep robotic voice said from the gun that had a barrel 10 feet tall and 8 feet wide with the gun being 15 feet long.

"Ohmygodyes!" Raymond said excitedly and grabbed the front grip of the gun. AJ grabbed the front grip on the right while Isaac and Sam grabbed the two back grips and they all got down on one knee to hold the ridiculous weapon.

They all started glowing, AJ glowing yellow, Raymond glowing purple, Sam glowing red, and Isaac glowing blue, as their Aura was channeled into the weapon.

"Loading Bass Cannon"

The Deathstalker got tired of waiting and slowly began to build up speed as it charged.

The trigger on Raymond's grip flashed saying it was ready to fire and he pressed the trigger, their Aura's all started to build up inside the barrel, just before it fired they were all compelled to say:

"D-D-D-D-D-D-DROP THE BASS!" Along with the robotic voice and immediately after saying that the cannon fired making the sound of the most epic bass drop ever and the sound wave tore apart the Grimm before sending the pieces flying away. It also tore apart the ground and the trees that were in the path of the shot.

The weapon turned back into the four little pistols and they all collapsed breathing heavily from using so much Aura, they were all laughing though of course.

AJ was on floor laughing from how stupid and funny that gun was.

"WHAT JUST HAPPENED!? HAHA!"

Raymond likes dubstep so:

"THAT WAS THE BEST THING EVEEEERRR! HAHAHA!"

Isaac and Sam were just laughing from relief and excitement.

They all stood up and looked at each other and realized they actually were about to collapse, so their last conscious decision was to yell.

""""S.P.W.M!"""" They all shouted before collapsing.

They all woke up one by one in the infirmary.

"So did we pass?" They asked Ozpin when he walked in.

"Yes, you all passed. I couldn't bring myself to pick your team name for you when you all shouted four letters before passing out, so that will have to be your team name, but what does it mean, if I may ask?" Ozpin asked.

They all pointed to themselves as they said:

"Super." Sam said.

"Pro." AJ said proudly.

"Waffle." Raymond said with a stupid grin.

"Menace." Isaac said with an evil tone.

They had to give Ozpin credit, he only laughed a little.

"We'll just go by S.P.W.M. if you don't mind. And not with stupidly long pauses between each letter, just say each letter without pause." AJ requested.

"Alright then." Ozpin said chuckling a little still. "Well your first 'class' starts tomorrow, be safe." He said before leaving.

"Can we all just agree that that was fucking awesome?" AJ asked smiling.

Ok you don't HAVE to, but still, if anything made the rushed last half worth it, it was the bass cannon.

The weapons, including the pistols, and how they got there will literally be explained next chapter.
