Welcome to Dissidia.
Cosmos, the goddess of harmony. Chaos, the god of discord.
Reigning from distant realms, the two gods had gathered warriors from all lands to lead them in savage war. Cosmos and Chaos were of equal strength. It was believed the conflict would last forever. But... The balance was broken. Those who answered Chaos's call created an inexhaustible force. And under vicious attack without relent, the warriors fighting for Cosmos started to fall one by one. The conflict that has continued for eons is now about to end in Chaos's favor. The world has been torn asunder, sinking into a vortex of disorder. However, it was not the end. The conflict between Cosmos and Chaos was far from over and it was time to call on the warriors once again. And this time, even more warriors would soon join the fray, both from worlds that are very similar to each other... but soon, other warriors from a rather different world would have to join the battles themselves.
These warriors came from the world of Remnant.
Before it was called that, Remnant was originally seeded by the brothers, the Gods of Light and Darkness, who created humanity as a joint project to bridge their differences. Humanity existed alongside their creators for ages until a time when a young woman named Salem confronted the gods, demanding that they return her lost love, Ozma to them. After they refused, she tried to force the issue, only to be cursed with immortality.
Angry and frustrated, Salem spread the word to the various kingdoms that they could overthrow the gods, and take their powers for themselves. This got humanity to rebel against their creators, but when they attempted to confront them, the God of Darkness effortlessly wiped them all out, save for Salem. The gods then elected to leave, with the God of Darkness destroying the moon in the process, taking magic with them, leaving this world and its inhabitants a mere remnant of what they once were.
Eventually, humanity recovered from its extinction and found themselves joined now by another intelligent race, the Faunus. The world, however, was not the same, and without magic, they were vulnerable to the Grimm. To that end, they harnessed the power of Dust to defend themselves.
And in time, the warriors where trained to defend the world.
And it is now time to meet them.
Our first warrior is someone pure and brave. A warrior with Silver Eyes.
Ruby Rose: Ever since she was little, Ruby has had a romanticized view of the Huntsman profession. All she ever wanted to become a Huntress in order to be like the great heroes in fairy tales, and to be like her deceased mother, Summer Rose. Ruby has described being a huntress as far more romantic than being a police officer. Her mentality is described as that she don't have time for her emotions. She gotta make sure that everybody else is okay. That mentality and the fact she is a very special young girl is what lead her to being accepted in to Beacon 2 years before she was ready for it. Ever since then she has done her best to live up to the high expectations, even becoming the leader of her own team called: Team RWBY.
But after the fall of Beacon and the death of two of her close friends, it has become very clear that her dreams will be tested to their limit as she set out to stop the people responsible for everything.
She decided to wear a new outfit: Her new looks sports a white high-neck décolletage blouse with brown studded wristbands on the arms. Her outfit retains the use of a black skirt with red tulle underneath, somewhat similar to her Original outfit, but her waist cincher has been replaced with an overbust corset with red strip holding it in place. A black belt bordered in red holds the magnetic clip for Crescent Rose and its ammunition. She also has brown straps on her blouse that allow her to wear a small brown backpack.
In lieu of her usual full black stockings, Ruby wears thigh-high stockings reaching to a few inches below the hem of her skirt, decorated by an image of a long-stemmed rose. Her red-soled black boots contain four straps and buckles apiece.
Her cloak has a singular clip on the right shoulder in the shape of her emblem, replacing the cross-shaped clips from her original attire. Both the cloak and the stockings show tears from hard wear.
Her hair has also grown slightly longer, maintaining the color gradation from black at the roots to red at the tips.
Which leads us to current times. Ruby was going to travel with her friends to Mistral but on the way a great bright light appeared out of nowhere and the next thing she knew, everything went dark.
When Ruby slowly woke up, she felt that she was being piggybacked by someone. At first she thought she had just passed out and was being carried by one of her friends. But then she could smell the person who was carrying her. Juding from the smell it was a woman, but Ruby did not remember ever meeting her.
She tried to clear her vision and managed to get some glimpses on what the woman looked like. She had dark brown hair that reaches the middle of her back. She wears a Leather Suit: a white tank top under a black zip-up vest with black overhauled shorts that fold at the waist, forming an additional utility pocket at the front and a short duster at the back extending to her heels. She wears a pink ribbon around her left arm, and a ring on her right hand. She also had a bust that would make Yang jealous.
"What... happened?" Ruby asked in a tired tone.
"Oh, you're awake. Good, I was getting worried" The woman said.
"Who... are you?" Ruby asked, almost struggling to stay awake.
The woman turned her face and gave the young Rose a smile that felt very calming "My name is Tifa".
Ruby could tell that this woman could be trusted so she just relaxed and let her carry her.
Elsewhere the next warrior was about to open her eyes to the new world.
Weiss Schnee, the former heiress of the vastly influential Schnee Dust Company. During her childhood, everything has been decided for her, and because of it, she is a bit of a rebel. This manifests itself in her physical appearance as she wears her ponytail to the side of her head, disrupting the symmetry of the rest of her outfit. Having grown up with parents that almost always argued to the point her mother became alcoholic and her father caring more about the family name, rather than the family itself, Weiss refused to stay in her home kingdom of Atlas and left to Vale to study in Beacon.
But after Beacon fell, she was forced back to Atlas. And she too has a new outfit: Her new design includes a short, glittering dress with a color gradation of blue to pale blue at the hem, a sweetheart neckline, and a white, tulle petticoat.
A white ribbon is wrapped multiple times around her waist, and over the outfit is worn a slightly sheer long-sleeved blue shrug fastened at the collar with a large sapphire broach that has three pendants dangling from it. Printed on the back of the shrug is the Schnee Crest. Completing her attire are dark blue wedge heels and sapphire drop earrings.
She also has an alternate/occasional outfit, which follows the same design as her standard attire except for the skirt, which is floor length and split to her thigh on one side, and she wears chunky heels instead. The white ribbon has been removed from her waist, and she wears her hair and earrings in the same style, albeit her ponytail has grown out, now roughly reaching her knees.
When she woke up, she sat up rubbing her head "Ow... what was that?".
"You OK lady?" Weiss looked up at the sound of the voice and saw a young man who was offering his hand.
He has tanned skin, blond hair, and gray eyes. He wears a loose cropped open metal vest fastened with a pendant. His dark pants are held up by a red ribboned sash belt, and are tucked into a pair of knee-high steel boots.
Weiss hesitated but accepted the offer "I think so... where am I?".
"Not to sure to be honest. This place has always been confusing to me" The young man said.
"Who are you?" Weiss asked.
"The name is Vaan. Nice to meet you!" The now named Vaan said with a smile.
Weiss had no idea what to think of this. Just what was going on?
Meanwhile, our next warrior still had not woken up yet.
Blake Belladonna, the cat faunus. From early in her life, she was involved with the organization White Fang in protests against unfair and discriminatory treatment of Faunus. She truly believed they were making a difference and continued as an active supporter of the organization despite its turn to militancy approximately five years before she saw what they were becoming and decided to enroll at Beacon Academy, an Academy located in the kingdom of Vale for training teams of Huntsmen and Huntresses to slay the various monsters that plague Remnant.
But sadly she could not escape her past so easy as her former partner, Adam Taurus attacked Beacon along with the White Fang, which ultimately lead to Beacon falling. Fearing the safety for her friends, Blake ran away, hoping to keep them all safe from her problems. She also changed her outfit: Her new looks features a long white tailcoat with dark gray lining and a sleeveless black crop top. The crop top has rectangular and diamond shaped cutouts around the neckline. Additionally, she wears a white belt over black fitted pants. After the confrontation with Adam. Blake has been left with a scar on her left abdomen.
Across her torso is a diagonal strap that contains a smaller magnetic clip used to sheathe Gambol Shroud. She wears thigh-high black heeled boots with gold-colored edging around the top. The left boot has a belt wrapped twice around the thigh. Each boot bears her belladonna emblem in white on the outer side of the thigh, and a white pouch is attached to the back of her belt. But she did not have her bow anymore.
She planed to return home... but like Ruby and Weiss, she too was brought to this world without warning and the sudden trip knocked her out.
"Hello... hello... please wake up, you should not sleep out here" Blake's cat ears twitched at the sound of the voice as she slowly opened her eyes.
The first thing she saw was a pare of snow white eyes, which made it look like who ever the eyes belonged to, might be blind. Blake sat up and got a better look at the woman that was standing over her.
She has light brown skin and brown facial markings, light teal eyes, and white hair with two frontal pigtails tied with rings. She dresses in a white dalmatica with silver patterns, blue trousers and black ankle boots. She also wears a visual device on her neck. She has the tattoo of the Circle of Knowing on her neck. She wields a one-handed conjurer wand that resembles a tree branch. She looked like a faunus, but Blake had never seen her before.
"Ummm... Hello?" Blake said in a unsure tone.
"Greetings young one. Glad to see you finally woke up, been trying to wake you for 10 minutes now" The woman said with a friendly smile.
'10 minutes? I was never a heavy sleeper' Blake thought before standing up and looked around "Wait... what is this place?".
"I was hoping you could tell me. This is my first time here too" The woman said.
"Could you tell me your name?" Blake asked.
The woman smiled as she gave Blake a small bow "My name is Y'shtola. Pleasure to meet you".
Well at least this Y'shtola was friendly. But it did little to ease Blake's worry of this place.
Lastly, the final member of Team RWBY had arrived.
Yang Xiao Long: The sister of Ruby and the toughest member of team RWBY, Yang is was very straightforward and confident. Yang is also described as being a cheerful, energetic, and bright young lady. She is arguably the most flippant, carefree and adventurous member of her team, frequently making sarcastic comments and jokes even in the heat of battle and often taking combat and hostile situations lightly. Yang is very sociable and extroverted, even in unfamiliar situations. Yang's love of adventure is the main reason she decided to become a Huntress. Blake considers Yang the personification of the word strength.
Sadly, Yang's spirit was shattered when Beacon fell and she lost her arm when she tried to save Blake from Adam. The even tramatized her to the point she gave up on her dreams and after Blake ran away, Yang gave up on even trying to fight anymore... but like all the others, she was not allowed to do that.
Unlike her other team, when the light brought her to this new world, Yang was awake right from the get go. And unlike her team, her outfit did not change: She still wears her tan jacket that bares her midriff, with golden brown piping and short, puffy sleeves with black cuffs that feature two gold buttons. Underneath this, she wears a low cut yellow crop top with her emblem on the left breast in black.
She also wears a brown belt covered by a pleated brown piece of material reaching from hip to hip around the back of her waist, with her emblem emblazoned on the right-most pleat in gold. Underneath this is a long, white, asymmetrical piece of material reaching to her knee on the right side, as well as a pair of black mini-shorts. She wears a pair of brown, knee-high boots and orange over-the-knee socks, with the right sock pushed down just below the knee. A purplish-gray bandanna is tied around her left knee. An orange infinity scarf and black fingerless gloves complete her outfit.
When she woke up she was shocked to see that her arm was back, and she even had her weapons, adding to her confusion. She had already began exploring this strange world she had been brought to and had no clue at all on what was going on.
She was lost, that much she was certain of. But then she noticed a man standing on a cliff. The man was wearing full body armor colored dark purple or blue in most of his appearances. He wears a helmet the shape of a dragon's head that obscures most of his face and sharp spikes extend out of his armor on his shoulders, elbows and calves, to give it an even more draconian look.
Yang could tell he knew how to fight and could be dangerous, but she had no choice so she walked up to him, stooping a couple of meters behind him "Hey!".
The man turned his head "Who are you?".
"My name is Yang. I was wondering if you could tell me where I am" Yang answered.
"So... I take it you are new here then" The man assumed.
Yang nods at that "You could say that. What is your name".
The man turned around to face her "I am Kain".
Meanwhile, the powerful goddess sensed the arrivals of her new warriors. She could only hope they were up for the harsh ordeal that awaits them. They were young, very young... yet she could feel the power and strength in their hearts. And she had faith that they could endure and win this war that she had reluctantly forced them to join. For the sake of this world, they had to win.
But our heroes were not the only ones to be brought to this world. Villains from their world had been brought here too. Each having a rather personal connection to the heroes. And they are bound to meet again soon... real soon.
Who are these villain? Well we will meet them soon.
.
Well, this is the first chapter of my brand new RWBY X Final Fantasy story. Don't worry this was just a set up chapter, in future chapters, a lot more will happen and you will see plenty of interactions between fan favorite characters.
This story is sort of a reboot of Dissidia Final Fantasy NT and will include characters from both it and past games.
I've been wanting to make a Dissidia story for months now but I struggled with finding a good crossover. I even put up a poll to have my readers vote on it, and while the victor was clear... I decided to not use that world for personal reasons, so sorry for those that voted, I just couldn't write the characters from that world.
The heroes were easy, but the villains... let's just say, the villains from that world either, 1: Did not stick around enough to leave a meaningful impact, or 2: They where utterly disgusting to the point I did not even want to consider writing them! I like villains that have some charm to them, be it that they are relatable or just plain badass. And the villains from that certain world was non of those.
So yeah, I decided to go with the easy option and just pick RWBY, since Final Fantasy was a big inspiration in the creation of the show since Monty Oum loved Final Fantasy.
.
So tell me what you think of this first chapter. I promise the story will get better.
