So this is going to be where I dump all the random things that pop into my head but I have no desire to take further.
I'm not honestly sure where this came from. I was just thinking about how I missed Doctor Who being on Netflix and this idea popped in my head. Now I've seen one other Doctor Who and RWBY crossover and in that one Jaune was the doctor and did the whole store memories in his watch trick. Not so much in this one. Hope you enjoy and I do not own RWBY or Doctor Who, also Matt Smith will always be the greatest Doctor. Just so we're clear this happens after Amy is revealed to have been kidnapped and replaced with that clone made from white goop.
Knight Aboard the TARTIS
Ruby's POV
Today was a day my team and I had been waiting for. A Saturday with no homework and no studying needed. We could finally hit Vale and unwind. I could finally go to that bakery I've heard of that has chocolate chip cookies to die for. We were making our way to the bakery, okay I was dragging my team along when we came across two people arguing. One was a thin man in a brown suit waving around some odd device with a glowing tip and the other is a man dressed in some odd armor.
"Look Doctor why in the bloody hell are we wasting time here?" The man in the brown coat looks back at the armored man with an odd expression on his face.
"I told you I'm collecting some debts. Now then how to find him." He looks around and then notices us. A grin appears on his face and he approaches us. We all tense up at the man approaching us and he stops in front of us.
"Hello, I'm the Doctor. You wouldn't happen to know where I could find one Jaune Arc would you?" Wait he's looking for Jaune?
"Why do you need that dunce? And Doctor who exactly?" The man seems unconcerned with Weiss's words and waves her off.
"Oh, just collecting on a debt. Nothing major, he'll simply be joining me for something we used to do all the time." I find this odd but Yang pulls out her scroll and sends a message. In a second a reply comes through asking us to keep the man there and to not question anything he says; a warning is then included to not go into a blue box if he offers to show us the inside. At that we all back away from him slightly. Yang is the first to try and break the silence.
"So how do you know Jaune?" The Doctor looks lost in his own thoughts but the man in armor answers.
"Oh, um first my name's Rory. I don't know Jaune but he apparently traveled with the Doctor at one point." We look at the guy who's mumbiling what I think are names. Who is William Churchill?
The Doctor then offer to buy us something to eat from the bakery and we accept his offer but keep a close eye on his hands when he purchases the food, Jaune's warning ringing in our ears. An hour of uncomfortable silence later and the Doctor looks out the window and smiles.
"Oh, there he is, looks a lot younger than I thought he would be. Come on Rory!" He then drags Rory after him to the outside where we find him running up to Jaune and the rest of team JNPR. I'm surprised by how angry Jaune looks.
"Um, Doctor he doesn't look happy." The Doctor waves off his concerns and keeps fast-walking towards Jaune.
"Oh, don't be such a WHACK!" Well that was unexpected.
"Did anyone else just see Jaune punch that guy?" We nod to Blake's question while NPR looks shocked as well. Jaune then grabs the Doctor by his shirt and starts roaring in his face
"TWENTY YEARS! YOU WERE TWENTY YEARS OFF TARGET, I PROMISED EVERYONE I'D BE BACK IN TWO YEARS BUT NOW YOU HAD TO DROP ME OFF TWENTY-TWO YEARS AFTER I LEFT! MY BROTHER IS NOW DECADES OLDER THAN ME! FIVE MONTHS AND NOT A SINGLE WORD FROM YOU! AND NOW YOU COME BACK IN A WHOLE NEW BODY! HOW BLOODY LONG HAS IT BEEN FOR YOU!? A CENTRURY!? TWO CENTURIES!? Ren and Pyrrha pry Jaune off of the strange man and Jaune starts taking deep breaths.
"Alright I'm better now. Now what the hell do you want?" The doctor looks concerned and rubs the spot where Jaune smacked him.
"Twenty years?" Jaune nods and rubs his forehead.
"Uh-huh, look I get we were both a mess after what happened with Rose. She was like a sister to me and the two of you were an item. And I know you can't do anything about it now, fixed time and all that junk, but why didn't you answer my calls?" The doctor looks upset now and is quiet while Jaune is examining Rory's armor.
"Roman? What's the story behind that?" Roman? Jaune is talking crazy now.
"It's a terribly long story and frankly we don't have time. Look we need your help."
"What number am I talking to?" Now everyone, even Rory, is looking at Jaune funny.
"The Eleventh, technically Twelfth as Ten used up a regeneration but kept the face." Jaune sighs and then facepalms.
"Well I can't just turn you down now seeing as this is the last life you got. But I swear if you mess up the drop off I will cut your hearts out. What do you need?" The Doctor starts doing a little dance while Rory just looks pleased. Pyrrha cuts into the mini-celebration
"Wait, so where are we going Jaune?" Jaune looks at his team with a glare.
"You guys are staying right here, in all the various crazy adventures I've gone through with the Doctor I can only think of one time where everybody lived. One time out of around two years of traveling with him did everybody live. I am not risking you against … what are we going up against this time?"
"Well first we got to get a location from the Cybermen, yes they are unfortunately still around, then we're facing a group that has kidnapped my other companion, who was pregnant mind you and she's already given birth, but that doesn't matter the point is that's two people they've taken, and so I'm calling in a multitude of favors owed to me to storm their base, kick some butt, win they day, and then be home in time for fish sticks with custard." I hold back some sickness at that last bit but Jaune's eye just starts twitching.
"Well that confirms it, also remember that time we were running down that hall in 2285 and I nearly lost a good foot in height, what was it you shouted at me?" The Doctor's face turns into a frown and he hits the ground pulling Rory with him. Jaune then jumps over them drawing his sword and swinging at a creature that has suddenly appeared, no that's not right I've seen it several times but I can't seem to keep track of it. Jaune pins it to the ground and stabs his sword through one shoulder. Getting a good look at it I can see that it has a humanoid body but its anything but human, or faunus, despite the fact it is wearing a suit. Jaune stares back at the doctor and sends him a glare
"Is this something we need to worry about?"
"Oh right, the Silence. Look away from them and you forget all about them. They kinda don't like me." I look around and see everyone is just walking around us while not even paying attention, is this the Doctor's doing?
"The Doctor must die!" Jaune frowns and punches it in the face before rubbing his eyes.
"Doctor, is this group devoted to your destruction? Because if so then honestly I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner."
"OKAY ENOUGH!" I jump back from the flames that Yang releases as she marches up to Jaune and lets loose.
"Alright Vomit Boy what the hell is going on here?" Jaune sighs and then punches the creature when it tries to move again.
"Twenty-two and a half years ago for you guys, two and a half for me, I helped the Doctor hunt down an alien called a Dalek, genocidal maniacs that lot, that crash landed on Remnant. He offered me the chance to travel with him and after talking it over with my family and girlfriend I accepted his offer for two years. The Doctor travels through time and space, after two years of crazy adventures and a few new friends along the way we lost someone and the Doctor dropped my off, he was twenty years off. It's been five months since then and I honestly never expected to hear from him again." I want to disbelieve everything Jaune's saying but so far, the alien is proving his point.
"Wait girlfriend?" Jaune nods to Pyrrha's question and then slams his shield onto the alien's forehead knocking it out.
"She apparently liked me for some reason but when you break your promise to return in two years for her, well I'm sure as hell not going to tell her about this now. I mean it serves no point given the age difference and I know she has moved on. As far as she'll ever know I'm just a kid that was named after his uncle that disappeared years ago."
"Oh, yes how is Glynda? She was such a nice girl." I feel my jaw drop and so do the others. Glynda Goodwitch.
"You shut it. Now where is the TARDIS?" The Doctor gestures for Jaune to follow him and we all do while Jaune takes a minute to do something, when I ask him what he was doing he can't even tell me for some reason. Soon we come to a blue wooden box on a street corner.
"Jaune, I think this joke has gone on long enough." I'm about to agree with Ren until the doors open and I can see a whole room inside with stairs. Jaune is the last of the three to step in and when we try to follow him he stops us.
"Look I get you want to help but I am not risking you guys. I get that I'm not good at up-close combat but against most of what I'm going against with the Doctor running will be the main activity we do. I'll be back before you know it, preferably without another twenty-year time skip. Also, don't tell Glynda about this, it's bad enough I see her most days." With that Jaune shuts the door and a wheezing noise fills the air. Slowly the box fades from sight and then it just disappears. Blake then speaks up.
"You know this actually explains why he's so out of touch with the times." She's right it really does. A cough is heard and we turn around to see Professor Goodwitch behind us.
"Students, I am very familiar with that box that I just walked around the corner to watch vanish. You are going to tell me why the Doctor was here and where Mr. A … Mr. Arc went with him didn't he. Just like his uncle, always running off and not caring about who is left behind." This is bad, this is very bad.
"Jaune explained that, now what goes on with the Doctor that would make it so he didn't want to risk us." I snap my neck to Pyrrha, why don't you just ask her to tear into us for the truth?
"And how does he know about the Doctor? Because I doubt that his grandparents or father would ever want to talk about that man. After all, considering his namesake ran off with him and never returned he's not exactly in their good books." It's like that meme where a loading bar is behind someone's head. Eventually it reaches one hundred percent and Goodwitch's face becomes emotionless
"The Doctor mentioned time travel, he said he traveled through time and space. Oh Oum, Jaune is my Jaune isn't he?" We look at Pyrrha and she looks away but I can hear what she mumbles.
"It would be cruel to make her continue to think he abandoned her by choice." Glynda looks up at that.
"What do you mean by choice?" The wheezing sound fills the air again and the box starts to appear again. Jaune then walks out covered in soot, cuts, burns, and with both eyes closed.
"Damn did he have to make the camera flash so bright." Jaune takes his hands off his eyes and then looks at us all and then notices Glynda who's glaring at him. He then focuses on us again.
"One, it is now official that the universe seeks to screw over anyone that travels with the Doctor. Two, really guys, you broke in like five minutes." My team along with Ren and Nora point at Pyrrha.
"SHE DID IT!"
So, the reason I don't think I'll ever go on to complete this one is the fact that I can't find anywhere to watch full episodes of Doctor Who and I don't want to spend a bunch of money on the box sets. Hope you enjoyed. Anyone is welcome to take this story idea up.
