I don't own For Honor or RWBY or anything that you see here just the OCs and the story.
The Viking, the Samurai, and the Knight
On the planet Earth, there are many the wondrous things that it can offer. The things that are offered in the world are beauty, art, delicacies, culture, and love. But the other things that Earth has to offer are the dark side of every thing that exists that opposes the beauty of the world.
These dark gifts are death, torture, hatred, loss, and destruction. It's these gifts that oppose the gifts of light in the world along with the other great gifts in the world.
For, darkness is a blanket that covers the light, and when that light is covered, chaos reigns in the form of… WAR.
In the times of great unrest, suffering, instability, and depression, war will erupt, for when a animal is backed up against a wall, it will revert back to its natural instinct to do one thing…to survive by any means necessary.
And on the planet Earth, there is no creation that can represent this more than in the form of one game, the game of For Honor.
After the release of the game, For Honor became a popular hit in the community and around the world with its unique story campaign and groundbreaking multiplayer along with its own unique combat system.
The game introduces the players to many different types of playable avatars that the player can choose in the multiplayer.
And the story campaign although short was a thrilling story that the players enjoyed.
But…like all things…nothing can stay great forever.
After a year of the games release, the community of 'For Honor' started to dwindle with people around started to loose interest in the game.
Even with the trailers introducing the new playable avatars, the Shinobi and the Centurions, the game still lost people in playing it.
But during that time before the popularity loss, the game was still a hit, which many players enjoyed…especially three players that became well known in the entire community.
These three specific players easily rose through the ranks of their respective factions and dominated every multiplayer match they were in.
Whether the match was Brawl, Skirmish, Duel, Elimination, and Dominion, they have won every one.
Of course there were some losses, but the victories of these players outweigh their losses.
In the social media, people have been demanding constantly to have these three players fight against each other for they have deem them the most skilled players in the community, but couldn't because only two of the three factions could only ever meet in the online battle, not all three.

…
Until now…just not the way they ever expected it.
(U.S.A. 4:30 p.m. Chicago)
It was the afternoon in the streets of Chicago.
Walking the streets of the city is a boy with brown hair and eyes, has a lean build, tall, and an above average in the handsome department and was at least 6ft 2in.
The boy was wearing a green t-shirt, an undershirt underneath it, blue jeans, and a maroon color sweater, and sneakers.
This boys name is Darren Ryder.
Darren is a boy age 17 and the reason why he was out at this time was because he was going to his favorite fast food restaurant 'Devil Dawgs'. This restaurant main specialty is serving the best hot dogs in the area and also a perfect hangout place for Darren and his friends after a day at school.
Darren entered the restaurant and once he was inside, he saw a familiar sight.
The joint was filled with its usual customers waiting in line for a hot dog, whether it was a meal combo or just for a plain hot dog, this was the place to get nice and cheap hot dogs.
Darren got in line, but while he was in line, he caught sight someone sitting at one of the tables with two trays of food.
What he caught sight of was a girl, this girl has long black hair tied into a pony tail, she was wearing a blue jacket with an striped shirt under it, there was also a pair of black pants she was wearing, and she was wearing sneakers with silver lining with a blue hue in the other areas of her shoes and she was about 5ft 11in.
The girl's face is that Asian decent with her slightly squinted brown eyes of hers.
Darren recognized this girl as Miki Kokuren, the exchange student from Japan.
She came here about a month ago from the school exchange program and also when she got here, she ended up living with his friend…well not his friend but actually it is his friend's cousin that goes to the same school as them.
From what Darren was told from his friend is that Miki seems to be a typical straight-laced girl like the kind that people see in anime, which seemed pretty offensive in his mind. His friend had managed to find out more about her from his Aunt and Uncle.
Darren still remembers what his friend told him about her.
(FLASHBACK, Darren P.O.V.)
"Darren, you there man?" a voice said from Darren's IPhone that was on speaker, as it was sitting on top of his desk inside his room.
"Yeah, I'm here Jake." I replied, as he was prop up on his bed reading this month's game informer.
"What do you want Jake?" I asked as he turned another page showing 'Mario Odyssey' in it.
"Whoa man, can't a guy talk to his friend every now and then?" he asked
I signed in frustration as he jus wanted to read this months game informer.
"Alright what is it?" I asked.
"It's about that girl Miki."
"Who?"
"You know that exchange student that came from Japan, the same one that is currently living with my Aunt and Uncle." He said through the phone.
"What about her?" I asked.
"Come on man, don't you wanna know what the new girl is like?" He asked.
"Careful Jake, you know that curiosity killed the cat right?" I asked him.
"Yeah but-"
"But nothing, I don't want anything to do with that exchange student." I said.
"Aren't you at least a bit interested in her?" He asked and from what I can tell his voice sounded like he pleading to me.
"Yes." I replied.
"You sure?"
"Yes I am."
"Aren't you at least a bit curious about her?" He kept on asking.
"No."
"Are you sure?" He asked as I was starting to get a bit irritated.
"Yes" I said with his irritation in it.
"Are you at least thinking about it?"
"No"
"Are you thinking about it now?"
"Unfortunately I am." I said as he finally gave up.
"Then listen up tough guy becau-"
"Hurry up and tell me already!"
"Alright, alright, sheesh give a guy a chance to make something sound cool will ya?"
"Hurry up Jake."
For the next 10 to 15 minutes, Jake told me everything he found out about the new exchange student.
He told me that her name is Miki Kokuren, she's from the southern region of Japan, she was apart from the archery club, studied kendo, and knows how to make sushi.
"How do you find out that she knows how to make sushi?" I asked.
"My aunt saw her making sushi one day in her kitchen." He said.
"Oh"
"Yeah well she's been really respectful to my aunt and uncle." Jake continued on.
"Well yeah because they are taking care of her for the duration the exchange." I said to him.
"I know, but man her English is really good." He said.
"What do you mean?" I asked him.
"Well I thought that she wouldn't be any good at our language because you know she's from another country and all that." He said.
Okay…are you calling me just to talk about the new girl or is there something else?"
"Oh yeah there's something else." He said.
…
…
…
"Well?" Darren asked
"Well what?"
"Are you going to tell me your news?"
"Oh…yeah right sorry about that." He said.
"It's about 'For Honor'. He said as that immediately got my attention.
"What about it?" I asked
"Don't you know already?" He asked.
"Know what?" I asked him back.
"The game developers are going to release some new classes." He said to me.
…
…
…
"What?" I said as if I didn't believe him.
"What do you mean new classes?" I asked.
"I mean the developers are creating new avatars for players to play for the Knights and the Vikings." He said.
A moment past between us, but then I finally said.
"Okay…tell me."
(Flash Back End, Third P.O.V.)
After being told everything he knew about the Japanese exchange student, Jake told Darren everything about the new characters that the game developers of For Honor were going to release in their new season.
He told Darren to watch the new trailers that came out and when he saw it, Darren was like wow.
Darren thought that the Highlander was to be the Vikings powerhouse compared to the Warlord and Raider, Darren saw that he made executing that Lawbringer look like a piece of cake and also add in the fact that the Highlander look intimidating as hell.
When he saw the Gladiator, he was more or less impress. Darren thought that the Gladiator seems to be a hybrid class warrior seeing that it has a balance of speed, strength, and mobility in its being.
But back to the present, Darren was starring at her from the line, until someone behind him shoved him forward.
"Hey man, will you move it already?" the guy said.
"Oh sorry." Darren said as he walked up the line.
But as he was still in line, his mind went back to the exchange student Miki.
The thing is that Darren has a bit of a crush on the exchange student; he had always found her beautiful the moment he laid eyes on her, but so did some other guys in school including his friend Jake, but Jake had an uncanny sense that he knew that Darren liked her, so he backed off for his friend's sake.
A couple of minutes later, Darren finally got to the counter and ordered his regular order of hot dogs. The cashier gave him his order number, and then Darren went to take a seat in a nearby table.
While Darren sat waiting for his order, his eyes went back to Miki as she sat at another table eating her meal.
This wasn't new to Darren, he would always look at Miki the first chance he gets every time he sees her and he'll always end up getting lost in his thoughts about her.
"Hey, what you looking at." A voice said that broke Darren out of his train of thought.
Darren turned around and came face to face with a girl and this was a girl that he'd and some other students at school recognized.
The girl that was in front of Darren is wearing a long sleeve light grey shirt, a light brown scarf, brown pants, and silver shoes.
The girl has brown hair that reached down to her shoulders along with having a flower clip in it. She also has blue eyes, light skin color, and a bit big for her age.
This girl that was in front of Darren was none other than Barbara Stormur, the exchange student from Iceland.
Barbara arrived in the U.S. the same time Miki did. And it seems that fate decided that she was also put in some of the same classes as him.
Barbara is seen as pretty much a tomboy by a lot of people back at school with her being at least 6ft tall.
She took some of the physically tougher clubs at school like wrestling and the like, but still kept up pretty decent grades during her time in Chicago.
She came to the restaurant some time before Darren got there to meet a friend, she finally met up with said friend and the both of them ordered their food, but when they got it, Barbara told her friend that she needed to go to the restroom.
A couple of minutes later, she came out of it and saw her friend sitting at a table, but also saw someone looking at her.
Seeing this peeked her interest, so she went up and approached the guy.
So now back to our current situation, Darren was looking right at the girl standing before, unable to come up with anything.
"Um…uh nothing." Darren said to her.
"Oh really?" the girl asked in a heavy Icelandic accent.
"Yes" He answered.
A moment of silent happen between them as people passed by them to get to their own table.
A few minutes passed before the girl in front of Darren suddenly took his hand and lifted him off his table.
"Hey." Darren said to her, but Barbara wasn't listening as she started to drag him with her.
Barbara dragged Darren all the way to her table, Miki turn towards her direction and was surprise to see her friend dragging a boy with her.
"Hey Miki." Barbara greeted her.
"Uh…hey." Miki replied in perfect English but her voice also carried her Japanese accent.
"Why do you have this guy with you?" Miki asked as she pointed to Darren who was glaring a bit at Barbara.
"Well I was going to the restroom and when I got out I found this guy looking at you, so I was like 'I wonder what this guy is thinking of' and I just went to get some answers." Barbara said to her.
Miki looked at her then looked at Darren who was now looking at her, then she look back at Barbara.
"That doesn't explain why you have him with you right now." She said to her as Barbara let go of his hand. Darren took his hand and started rubbing it due to Barbara's iron grip.
"Well I tried asking him a question and he didn't give me an answer." She said
"I did give you an answer." Darren said to her.
"Yeah but not an answer I liked." She said.
"But it was an answer none of the less." He said a matter of factly.
"Yeah but it was still the answer I wasn't looking for." she said.
"What answer were you looking for then?" He said.
"The answer I was looking for was why were you looking at my friend?" She said looking at him and so was Miki.
Darren was starting to get nervous seeing as this girl was trying to force the answer out of him and it was happening in front of Miki.
…
…
…
"Well?" Barbara said.
"She uh… is in the same class as me." He said.
"What?" Barbara said with a confuse look and so was Miki.
"Yeah she's in the same class as me."
"But I don't recognize you." Miki said.
"Uh…we have the same the same history class."
Miki thought about for a moment before she came to a conclusion.
"Oh that's right we do have the same history class." She said. "But I don't know your name or who you are."
"Well that's because we never really talked to each other in class." He said.
"Oh…well then now seems like the perfect time to introduce ourselves, hi my name is Miki Kokuren, what's your name?" She asked.
Darren looked at her for a moment before replying.
"Hi the names Darren Ryder." Darren said extending a hand towards her.
Miki took it and the both of them shook hands.
Darren then looked at Barbara.
"What about you?" He said.
Barbara looked at him for a few minutes before crossing her arms and said.
"Barbara Stormur, nice to meet you." She said.
"Like wise." Darren said then turned around to look at the screen to see if his number was on there and it was on there.
Darren turned back to the girl before saying. "Well I better go get my food." He said.
"Oh…well would you like to join us?" Miki asked.
"What…why?" Darren asked.
"Well I would like to know about you since we are classmates after all." She said.
"Oh…okay well…I'll be right back." Darren said as he went to go get his food.
As he left the two girls sat down at their table before Barbara said.
"You know that wasn't the real reason he was looking at you right?" She asked.
"Oh of course I do, but I just wanted him to think that I didn't know, so I acted dumb." She said
"Why?" She asked "It was obvious that this guy was giving you the 'look' like with all the other boys that's been giving you the 'look' since you got here Miki."
"I know, but I just want him to admit, I mean it's better for someone to tell the truth than lie to my face about it." She said.
"Well… alright then." Barbara said as Darren came back holding his tray of hot dogs.
All three of them sat at the table enjoying their food. They converse on some of the subjects at school and about some of the teachers teaching them.
"Mr. Haines seems like a pretty good teacher, but he's just so boring." Miki said.
Darren nodded at that because he too agreed that the Chemistry teacher was pretty boring.
"Yeah, but at least he doesn't give homework like everyday, unlike Ms. Butch." Barbara said, as she hated that her Geometry teacher gave her and all the other students' homework everyday.
"You're not the only one who got Ms. Butch, I mean I had her last year and she was very strict on the whole homework thing and would not tolerate late work." Darren added in.
"Oh yeah and that's another thing, Ms. Butch is strict as hell and you could feel the strictness radiating off of her." Barbara said to them.
"Yeah I know." Darren said as he remembered his time in Ms. Butch's class.
"You know she could learn to lighten up a bit."
"Try telling her that." Darren said as he agreed that Ms. Butch could take her strictness down a notch.
A couple of minutes passed as the three of them went back to finishing up the rest of their food.
"So…how are you guys enjoying your time here?" Darren asked the two of them.
The two-exchange students looked at each other before looking back at Darren.
"Well all I can say is that Chicago is a nice city and seems to be the perfect place to visit during the holiday, but I don't if I can say the same thing for the country." Miki said.
"Yeah the city is nice and all, but I was hoping for some decent good looking people in this country, but all I mostly see is a bunch of skinny guys that don't look like they do much and the overweight people every now and then out on the street. And another thing, I can go like a mile without seeing another fast food restaurant in sight." Barbara said.
"Hey well those fast food restaurants are both cheap and convenient for my country's middle class, I mean yeah they tend to get a bit fat, but hey it is not our fault that the food taste good." Darren said trying to defend his home.
"Alright, but the overall stay he is quite nice." Barbara said as she took out her IPhone to look at the time.
"Well I guess it's time I left." Barbara said as she got up.
"What where are you going?" Darren asked.
"I have to get home to my host family's house and it sort of takes me a while to get there and not only that, I also have to finish up Ms. Butch's home that she gave me." Barbara said.
"She's right." Miki said as she got up from her seat. "I have to get back to my host family's house to."
"Oh…alright then well I guess I'll see the two of you later then." Darren said.
"Yeah later Darren, Ill be seeing you at school." Barbara said to him as she left.
"It was nice to meet you Darren, I hope we the three of us can hang out like this again." Miki said.
Darren smiled a bit. "Yeah…that would be nice." He said as Miki walked out of the door.
When Miki walked out the door, Darren looked back at the table and saw that all of their trays were still there and when Darren saw this he only thought of one thing.
'Ah what…they left me to put up their trays…great.' He thought.
(Sometime later)
When Darren got home, he went take a quick shower, after the shower he thought about what happen earlier with Miki and Barbara, but more importantly Miki.
'I can't believe that I got talk to her.' Darren thought as he dried himself up. He then went to his room and got himself dressed in his nightclothes, which consisted of a plain red T-shirt and blue sleeping shorts.
Darren then sat on top of his bed, grabbed his PS4 controller on the desk, turned on the PS4 using the controller and the TV, then skimmed to the side looking for the game he's been looking for, the game For Honor as logged in as 'SilverBlade1!'.
While this was happening, similar things were happening to the two exchange students from earlier.
For Miki, when she got to her host family's home, she set down her bags down, and walked towards the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water and started chugging it down.
When that was done, she then thought about what happen earlier.
'Darren seemed nice, it's nice to know that America has some decent people in its country.' Miki thought back to the hot dog restaurant with Darren on her mind.
She then went to go take a shower in the second story of the house, then when she was done she went to her room that was given to her for her stay in America and like Darren she got dressed in her nightclothes and then started up her PS4 that she brought from home and logged in as FlowErsh0t.
And in another neighborhood near Darren and Miki's neighborhood was the home of Barbara's host family.
When Barbara got there, she just went to the kitchen inside her host home and grabbed a soda from the fridge, went to her room, and just turned on her PS4 that she brought from home and logged in as IcelicStorm.
Unknown to many people in the community of Chicago, these three young adults are the famed players of the For Honor community that has reached the highest ranks in popularity within the game community.
In the Chicago night, as the three famed players of For Honor went to play their most favorite game of the generation, the three of them were unaware that, that night will be the last night they will ever play the famed game of war, for fate decided that it was time for them to take their game to the next level.
A/N
So this is my new fan fic.
Kokuren (Black Lotus in Japanese from Google translate)
Stormur (Storm in Icelandic from Google translate)
I really don't see any fanfics with this type of cross over except one but still…
But there will be some changes in the plot that will change the course of RWBY like any AU.
Also some of the restaurants name I used are named after real restaurants in Chicago and the reason why is because the first time I went to Chicago, I went to visit family and attend my uncles wedding, which was nice like with every wedding I've been to.
But on my last day there my family went to eat at one of Chicago best hot dog places that serves Italian hot dogs and when I tried it… it was delicious.
Anyway leave a review for me, also like this, follow this, or both.
This is Nicdragon8 signing off.
