1: Hero away from Home

"After leaving home, you might find yourself feeling homesick. Even if you have a new home with a nicer wallpaper and a more efficient dishwasher." -Lemony Snicket 

Just some things to point. I do not own either serieses. RWBY is owned by Rooster Teeth and Boboiboy is owned by Animonsta respectively. If you haven't watched either, I recommend that you do as they are really awesome serieses. One more thing, I wrote this story with people new to either stories in mind so one does not necessarily have to know either to understand this. If you enjoy this, vote, follow and all that good stuff. Anywho let's begin the story!

The story begins on earth, in the island of Rintis with a kid wearing an orange hat, orange vest, black under shirt, blue jeans, red wristwarmers and a peculiar looking watch going to a beverage stand with a sign on top that says "Tok Aba Kokotiam (Tok Aba's Cocoa Shop)".

"Tok Aba!"

The boy shouts as an old man wearing a blue flannel shirt, brown pants and white hat looks up.

"Oh Boboiboy, your late for work again."

Feeling guilty, the boy proceeds to ha itually scratch the back of his neck before admitting, "I'm sorry. I forgot again heh."

The old man shakes his head chastisingly before sighing. "Oh my grandson, you are still young, you shouldn't be more forgetful than me."

"S-sorry I will be early tomorrow." The young boy makes a promise to his grandfather only to get a sigh in return.

"That's what you said yesterday." The grandfather tells him with an unimpressed face.

Not wanting to continue this, frankly, awkward conversation, the boy then diverts the conversation. "Anyways, where is Ochobot?

"I don't know. But he did tell me something about helping Gopal with something."

"Oh is that so? Oh okay then." The young hero says disappointed at his friend's sudden absence. "So then... where is everyone else?" He tries to inquire about everyone else.

Getting somewhat tired of the questioning and the lack of working, Tok Aba then tells Boboiboy, "how should I know? I'm not them."

"Right... I'll go look for them then." He says about to run only to be caught again by Tok Aba.

"Where do you think you're going huh? You have work to do."

"Ah! I forgot again."

However, the boy suddenly felt a sting on his arm only to see his watch malfunction, but before he could put any thought into it, his attention was immediately torn away when a voice called to him from the distance.

"Boboiboy!" A female voice cries off in the distance as a girl in a pink hijab floats to him.

"Eh, Yaya? What're you doing here?" The pleasantly surprised Boboiboy asks as one of his friends finally arrives.

"I know you guys told me my biscuit tasted bad and after finally trying it I realized you were all right all along, so I thought what if I experimented with something else? So this is what I got instead. Try it!"

Fearing the last time she's experimented, (see a clip about green goat milk and Boboiboy,) he backs off nervously for the fear it might happen again. "Eh? N-no thanks, I'm not hungry."

Somewhat hurt by that reaction, she understood. Even still, she understood the reaction... but even still, her pride as a baker urges her on. "Oh come on. Please?"

"It's ok... really... please let me go."

Realizing he is going to die on this hill of his, Yaya does the tried and true method and-

Boboiboy gags as the cookie is jammed into his mouth.

"So, how is it?"

Boboiboy gags and passes out, not from the cookie's taste. All things considered, the cookie was actually of an acceptable, albeit eccentric taste... but what actually knocks him out is the force of the cookie going down his gullet. Something that if anyone without power took it would've ruptured their trachea.

"Oh no!" She shouts, internally cursing her own strength.

Terrified for his grandson's health, the poor old man begins to fumble for his phone. "Oh no! Quickly call the ambulance."

Yaya was of the same mind as she herself was already reaching for her phone. But then she looks at Boboiboy and her eyes widen in shock and confusion. "Wait, something's wrong with Boboiboy's watch."

Boboiboy's power watch starts to glow erratically and sparks flew from it. Then a massive yellow light explodes from it.

Luckily, Yaya was able to shield both her and Tok Aba with her gravity manipulation powers but Boboiboy...

After the explosion Boboiboy, along with a good portion of the dirt around him dissappeared, leaving no trace of him or the watch... save for the cookie... somehow...

Somewhere in a distant reality, two beings, one as a bright as the sun, and other as all consuming as the void of space stand and stare through a crack in reality while holding their hands forward.

Through the tiny crack in space, the absolutely miniscule figure of Boboiboy's frame floats through before being blinked off somewhere.

The darkness then asks the light, "brother, are you sure of this? We've done this before... and it did not work."

The light merely chuckles before replying. "Have faith brother. That is all we can do for the creations we had to shun..."

Meanwhile within a city's night sky, a bright light shines briefly into the atmosphere. In fact, so briefly, that no one could have possibly seen it, unless they were near to the spot or if they had eyes all over the city. Then suddenly Boboiboy unconscious body floats gently until it can be seen laying on the floor in an alley way.

Cutting to a shop named "From Dust till Dawn," a man with orange hair, a black bowler hat and a white tuxedo walks up to an old shopkeeper with a group of black tuxedo-ed thugs right behind him.

"Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a dust shop open this late?"

As the man says this, one of his men points his gun towards the old man.

The old man could not fight back and as such had no choice but to beg.

"P-please, just take the Lien and leave!"

And yet the orange-haired man with the bowler hat did not seem satisfied by that answer. However, this old man showed respectable qualities in his eyes so rather than use an excessive amount of violence to have his way, the orange-haired man instead tries to act like a good cop in the middle of a sea of bad cops.

"Come now. We're not here for your money. You can keep all of that. What we want, is just... Dust. Lightning, Fire, Ice, all of it. Sure it'll tank your business, but really, you're a smart man. You'll live with just your lien. So why don't you just unlock the case all quick like and... pretend we were never here. How's that sound?"

Weighing his options, the shopkeeper reluctantly agrees and gives the robbers his Dust supplies.

The men then gather colorful looking crystals apparently called "Dust" into suitcases from tubes found all over the shop.

In this world, Dust, is the substitute for many things. Gasoline, gunpowder, radioactive isotopes, none of those were invented as this array of multi-colored crystals have trivialized such thoughts.

"Crystals. Burn. Uncut." One of the goons raises a suit case to the old man. Fearing for his life, the old man had no choice but to part with his most valuable, highest quality Dist crystals. But that was when one of the thugs hears faint music in the background and decides to investigate.

He then finds a girl wearing a bright red cloak completely absorb into the magazine she was reading, while listening to music which blocked the rest of the world to her. To her, the whole robbery might as well not be happening.

Seeing the girl, he unsheathes his sword and points it to her back. In as menacing a voice as he coupd master, he then demands the girl's cooperation. "Alright kid, put your hands where I can see em."

However, it seems as though the music was too loud as that did nothing at all, not even an eye was batted towards him.

Getting really somewhat annoyed, he decides to speak up. "Hey, I said hands in the air! Do you have a death wish or something?!"

It was... a long day already. The thug wanted nothing more than a bourbon after a job well done... so he throws away all formality and pulls the girl's cloak down.

"Yes?"

'Finally! A response!' The thug internally cheered. L

The sooner he can make her scram, the less bloodshed will be occurring.

"I said put your hands in the air! Now!"

"Are you... robbing me?" The girl sounded less scared and more... incredulous at this concept. Like it was some silly game.

"YES!!"

No wait! He meant no!

"Ooooohh!" The thug began to feel a sense of dread at the girl's growing smirk.

Cut back to bowler hat guy waiting for his thugs to finish. When suddenly...

"Hey!"

The thug apprehensively shouts as the girl reaches for her back in a blur of movements.

"Hyaah!!"

The girl cries out as she uses the unfolding of her gun scythe combined with a shot's recoil to launch the thug into a wall, knocking him unconscious.

The lead thief sees this and calmly motions for another henchman to apprehend the mysterious female assailant.

"Oh? It seems we have a huntress-in-training among us. Oh boys."

The orange-haired man then issues a command with his hand to half his thugs to stop what they're doing to neutralize the threat. "Freeze!!"

Outside, Boboiboy has finally woken up and is drawn to the commotion. He begins to waddle forward due to how strangely sore his body felt.

"What, what is going on here?"

Then he looks closely to the scene unfolding in front of him and sees as the chaos that was happening. He may be sore... but he's a hero, he isn't allowed to feel sore.

"I don't know where I am, but a robbery is still a robbery. I have to help- WOAH!!"

Boboiboy barely dodges a bunch of men crashing through the window and fly out of the window as a girl about his age jumps out and briefly makes eye contact with him as she jumps out.

The remaining thugs inside look out at the girl as she unfolds out a giant red scythe. Boboiboy was also shocked at what he saw. But in a more, "I just saw a comic book character irl," sort of way.

Boboiboy then gives his trademark thumbs up of approval with a light chuckle. "That's awesome."

The bowler hat guy from inside scowls at her, which she non-verbally replies with a smile. She then twirls her scythe around and plants it into the floor, removing her headphones.

The bowler hat guy motions his hands towards the girl, letting his goon army loose on her while ignoring the bright orange bystander.

"Okay... get her!"

The girl starts the battle proper by spinning around her scythe, kicking away  one of thugs. She then lifts up her over-sized weapon and hits one of her opponents with the butt of it, sending them flying.

She proceeds to fire the gun portion of the scythe, then proceeds to bring it's blunt part on one of the enemies. She then dodges some gun fire with the recoil of her gun which she uses to propel herself towards the shooter and  proceeds to hit him with enough force that he gets knocked to the feet of the bowler hat guy.

Realizing that enough was enough and any longer and the cops will be with them, he drops his cigar and crushes it.

"You were worth every cent, truly you were."

Suddenly, the sound of police sirens are heard blaring in the distance confirming his worries.

"Well, Red, I think we can all say that it has been an eventful evening, and as much as I would love to stick around..."

The bowler hat guy then proceeds to point his cane at the girl and presses something, making the cane's bottom flick up into a crosshair, revealing that it was in fact a gun.

With a smirk he then aims it at the girl in red. "I'm afraid this is where we part."

He then fires a red projectile at the girl, but then...

*BZAP*

*BOOM*

The explosion was then intercepted by something. The girl in black and red looks in mild shock as the boy in orange appears in front of her, too fast for even her before deflecting the explosive flare.

"Oh? And who do we have here?"

With a smirk, Boboiboy replies, "me? I'm just a hero for fun."

Well and truly done with this, the man takes out a grenade from his pocket before fiddling with it. He then gives them his final regards as he pulls the pin. "Well then I wish you best of luck, Red, Orange, ciao." He then throws it at the two of them only for it to explode into a large purple smoke.

By the time the smoke clears, the man can be seen climbing a ladder. Confident in their abilities to catch up, the two of them then run over to check on the shopkeeper.

"Are you okay sir?" Boboiboy asks before being followed up by the red girl. "Will it be fine if we went after him?"

The shopkeeper nods giving them the approval they need to chase after the thief already.

"Hurry up! We have a bad guy to catch!" Boboiboy exclaims to the girl who fumbles a, "r-right!," at the sudden sound of Boboiboy's voice.

The girl then runs forward and launches leaving a trail of rose petals. Boboiboy then followed suit by raising his watch and  activating a blue clad form in which the bill of his hat is on the left of his head instead of the back.

"Hurricane jump!!"

Boboiboy then scales the whole building with a giant gust of wind at relatively the same speed as the girl.

However the man sees both of them do this while he was still climbing so he frantically fires his cane gun in hopes of hitting them.

Boboiboy then swaps to a yellow form with the hat facing forward wielding yellow swords of lightning and zips out of the way of the projectiles in a flash of light. The girl also dodges sidewards to dodge as well.

During this, they then had a small conversation while dodging and blocking.

"Hi, are you new around here?" The girl asks as she jumps on a nearby wall, nearly dodging another explosion.

"You could say that. I don't even know where 'here' is exactly." Boboiboy replies as moves all around as fast as lightning.

"Well nice to meet you, my name's Ruby. And woah is that like your semblance and what's that watch and what's with the hat and that sword?" Ruby says as the two of them dive behind a garbage bin to dodge the latest attack.

"My name is Boboiboy. Let's talk later, but for now let's focus on him." He says as he aims his sword at the man.

"R-right! But how are we going to deal with those projectiles?"

Boboiboy proceeds to point at himself as he replies, "Leave it to me. Earth wall!!"

Boboiboy's clothes then transform to an all brown version of his original clothing with a mountain-shaped emblem on its front instead of it's usual lightning emblem. He slams his palm into the floor to create a 6 foot tall wall of concrete and stone, blocking the projectiles.

"So cool!" The girls says as she got close to his face then to his watch as she begins to examine him all over. He would be ashamed to admit this later, but that got a blush out of him but for now he refocuses her attention.

"Now let's go! Earth Catapult!"

Both of them are then shot upwards by a sudden stone wall from below launching them several feet into the air.

Both land on the roof safely as they both shout to gain the man's attention.

"Halt you evil doer!/Stop in the name of the- er... law?"

Bowler hat guy looks at the two from the other side of building before muttering in annoyance. "Persistent."

Both of them then prepare to fight the guy but then a getaway aircraft appears behind the man piloted by a woman in red whose face was obscured by the darkness shrouding her face save for the fiery golden orbs that were her eyes.

Bowler hat guy turns around holding a red dust crystal and throws it at the two. "End of the line, Red, Yellow!"

As it lands, the Dust crystal detonates.

The man proceeds to laugh at his accomplishment of taking down two of who he presumes to be hunters-in-training.

As the smoke clears, everyone present would notice a middle-aged blonde woman clad in a black and white outfit has defended Ruby and Boboiboy from the explosion using a purple forcefield. She then launches a counter attack by firing purple streaks of light at the escape vehicle to which the bowler hat guy nearly falls off.

With a shocked look, Boboiboy manages to snap himself out enough to muster a nervous, "that's awesome..."

Outmatched, the bowler hat guy quickly makes his way to the cockpit where the mysterious black haired woman was struggling with the controls.

"We've got a huntress!" He warns her and both swap places with him taking the reins and the woman stepping into the opening to face the huntress.

The huntress's wand then glows purple and suddenly there was a storm cloud on top of the bullhead. The mystery woman readies to counter but freezes after locking eyes with Boboiboy.

"You doing alright boss?!" The man shouts as he struggles to keep the aircraft afloat.

The huntress flicks her wand and hail battered against the vehicle, even crashing through the windows and nearly hitting the guy with the hat.

The mysterious woman snaps out from that and reels back her hands, seemingly setting both her arms and chest on fire. Then she throws her arm forward, launching a fireball at the three.

"Earth Barrier!!"

Thus time, it was Boboiboy's turn to defend as a large mountain of jagged rocks erupts from the floor and blocks the fireball. Taking advantage of the newly formed stone spikes, the huntress forms arrows of rocks with her telekinesis and lobs them at the air-born vehicle.

The mysterious woman then blocks all the stoney projectiles with the same fiery explosions only for the projectiles to gather into a lance made of stone which turns back around to hit the woman.

Boboiboy realizes that the barrage from the psychic woman was keeping the woman somewhat distracted and so tells the red-clad girl, "Ruby, distract her, I'm going in!"

Boboiboy's clothing then transforms into the yellow form and he creates two lightning swords. He takes a running stance and then leaps upwards and zips forward with a clap of thunder as Ruby and the huntress continue to provide suppressive fire.

"Lightning Cross Attack," Boboiboy intones as he crosses his blades together.

But before Boboiboy's attack could connect, the woman creates a fiery ring which explodes spherically, launching Boboiboy back with swords broken from defending against rhe blast.

Boboiboy flies backwards careening into the building before a familiar moustached face catches him with a flashy jump.

"P-papa Zola?" The boy speaks in disbelief as a face from his old world shows itself with the same triumphant smile he always comes in.

"Yes! Justice will never abandon anyone who fights against eviiiiil!"

However this momentary distraction was long enough for the two villains to escape.

"Woah! Who ARE you?!!" Ruby asks the brightly colored overweight man wearing superhero-like clothing.

Ruby eyes showed confusion but then faced the huntress with excitement.

"Are you a huntress?! C-can I have your autograph?"

20 minutes later

The four of them were then seated in a dimly lit room where they were faced with a tablet computer replaying the event. Ruby's expression was changed from awe-struck to ashamed, Boboiboy was confused why he was there and Papa Zola, the middle aged, blue clad hero was being annoyed by how small the seat was.

"I hope that you both realize that both of your actions tonight won't be taken lightly. You placed you and others present here in danger young lady!"

Boboiboy, incensed by this, interhects by standing up and angrily replying, "But I fought there BECAUSE I don't want any civillians to get hurt Ms... uh?"

"Goodwitch," the huntress replies before continuing on with a chastising tone. "and to answer to your misguided thoughts, I will say this. With what you did, do you really think destruction of property could've really kept anyone safe.

Ms. Goodwitch then shows the part where Boboiboy launches both him and Ruby up the building with a giant rising pillar of rock.

With the footage in front of him he slumps down in disappointment at his own recklessness.

However, the blue and red super hero  goes to defend the two children by putting himself between the huntress and the two. With a calm tone, he then says, "Please, don't be mad at the them. I'd say they did a swell job at stopping those guys for a bunch of rookies riiight?"

Sighing, the huntress relents somewhat as she says, "If it were up to me,  I'd give them a pat on the back..."

Hearing this, Ruby perks up but is nearly.completely caught off guard when she barely dodges a sharp swatting motion from woman's wand. "and a slap to the wrist!"

This elicits an "Eeek!," from a scythe wielder.

Ms. Goodwitch sighs again before moving to the side to make way for someone. "But there is someone else who would like to see you two."

Suddenly a grey haired man in green enters the room holding two mugs and a plate of cookies.

The man then leans towards the girl before looking her directly in the eyes. "Ruby Rose... you... have silver eyes... just like your mother..."

"W-wait, you knew my mom?"

Instead of answering Ruby, the man proceeds to her orange-vested compatriot. "And you, um..."

Wanting to be polite to the stranger, Boboiboy proceeds to introduce himself as well."Uh hello my name is Boboiboy. Nice to meet you, sir."

"Hm... Peculiar name..." he says with a certain glint in his eyes. However, Papa Zola wanted in on the action as well. Suddenly, all the lights turn off before only the one above Papa Zola turned on as he posed dramatically. "And I am..."

Comical flashy spinning introduction sequence then occurs as he points to the sky.

"Papa Zola! Hero of Justice and Boboiboy's teacher!!!"

Everyone goes quiet at the sheer absurdity of the man's presentation of himself. Politely, the man in green chooses not to say anything about... whatever that was and instead faces toward the two children.

The man then shows them a recording of both of them fighting.

"Now tell me, how did you both learn to fight like this?"

Boboiboy showed visible distress on his face before awkwardly shrugging as he said, "Experience... I guess, I mean I'be been doing this since I was eleven. Oh and Papa Zola helped too with those grueling PE activities and excercises."

Papa Zola preens at the praise before once more placing a hand on his forehead.

"Evil does not rest, so Justice... MUST NOT REST EITHE-ack!"

He is promptly knocked out by Goodwitch who finally had enough of the boisterous middle-aged man.

"Ayuyu... you're punch is just like my beloved mama Zilla's... it hurts..."

Ruby, meanwhile, stammers out, "I-I was trained!"

"What schools do you both go to?" The man asks as he pulls out a list of various prep schools for huntsmen.

Boboiboy and Ruby answer in unison. "Rintis Island Primary school, sir./S-signal Academy."

The man's eyes sparkle somewhat after hearing Boboiboy's answer... nowhere in his list does it state such a school... OR such a place...

Regardless of his interest, the man knew that he cannot press the boy for more answers if he wants him to trust him. Instead, he asks, "They taught you two to fight like that?"

"Well, one teacher in particular." Ruby chimes in sheepishly.

The man nods hearing this, knowing exactly who this teacher could be... but for this boy... "I see..."

He will elaborate no further for now. He can ask him when his guard is lower.

The man then proceeds to put the cookies and mug of coffee closer to the group. Boboiboy takes one, thanks the man and starts eating. Papa Zola takes the mug and downs the coffee only to get knocked unconscious by Glynda who chastise him for drinking the man-in-green's coffee. Ruby hesitantly takes a cookie and eats it in one bite. After seeing how no one says anything about it, she then basically inhales the rest.

The man then continues with his assessment of Ruby, "It's just that, I've only seen one other scythe wielder of that skill before. A dusty old crow..."

Ruby perks up in recognition as she says, "Oh! Fhaf's wa unfu!"

Realizing that her mouth was full, she gets embarrased and swallows cookies in one gulp as she wipes crumbs off of her face.

"Sorry, that's my uncle Qrow! He was a teacher at signal. I was complete garbage before he took me under his wing and now I'm all like... Hwooaahh! Witchaaaa!"

Boboiboy giggles from her antics as she performs karate chops while making funny noises.

There was a glint in the man's eyes, one that was not lost to Boboiboy. Whether that be good our bad is something he cannot ascertain as of yet.

"So I've noticed." The man says as sits opposite to Ruby and Boboiboy.

"And what are the two of you planning to do? Especially you Ruby, what is an adorable little girl planning to do going to a school for warriors?"

Ruby smarts first.

"I want to be a huntress!"

"You want to slay monsters?"

"Mon... sters?" Boboiboy chimes in.

Everyone in the room who was conscious looks at Boboiboy like he grew a second head.

"You know, the creatures of grimm?" Ruby asks him.

"Grimm??"

Realizing this might be a much bigger discussion than it first looks, the man-in-green says, "Let's discuss this, later. Anyway, miss Rose, continue.

"Oh! Well, I... only have two more years of training left at a Signal! And then I'm going to apply at Beacon!"

As she continues with this part she gets gradually faster as her enthusiasm and awkwardness grows.

"You see, my sister is starting there this year and she's trying to become a huntress, and I am trying to become a huntress coz I wanna help people. My parents always taught us to help people, so I thought, why not make a career outta it."

She does not stop, somehow giggling without losing a beat.

"I mean the police are alright, but Huntsmen and Huntresses are much more romantic and exciting and cool and really..."

She then slams her hands on the table as shouts out, "GOSH! Y'KNOW?!"

The man in green and ms. Goodwitch both takes a second to take that all in. Meanwhile, Boboiboy had raised both hands so as to not get them crushed when Ruby slammed hers on the table.

Papa Zola also gets awoken by that, snorting and going, "Huh? What? I'm awake!"

Not minding any of that, the man-in-green instead focuses on Ruby. He places down his coffee mug and asks her, "Do you know who I am?"

Ruby begins to think on that question, trying to figure out the identity of the man in front of her. That is when her eyes landed on the cane of his that had the engraving, "OZ" written on it.

Her eyes widen as she says, "You're... Professor Ozpin, the headmaster at Beacon..."

Professor Ozpin smiles slightly as he nods.

"Hello, Ruby."

"Nice to meet you."

The Professor then asks her a life-changing question. "Do you wish to come to my school? Early that is?"

Ruby gasps in shock before quietly but sincerely saying, "More than anything..."

Prof. Ozpin exchanges glances with Ms. Goodwitch who looks away and harumphs at the thought. Turning back to Ruby, Ozpin then smiles.

"Welcome to Beacon Academy. We'll be taking you in early."

Ruby looked absolutely floored by this revelation. After receiving the enrollment form, she bounces across the room in ecstasy.

The professor in green then to the two in front of him.

"Before anything else, please, Mr... Boboiboy I presume? Tell me... where are.you from exactly? This... Rintis Island Primary School does not exist."

"WHAAAAAT?!" Papa Zola suddenly explodes in energy as he says this.

"Should I have him put down again sir?"

"No need Glynda, I can take it from here."

"Very well sir..."

With that, she closes the door, leaving Boboiboy, Papa Zola and Ruby with Ozpin.

"Now, where did you say you were from?" Ozpin asks.

"We're from Ma-"

Before Boboiboy could continue, Papa Zola covers his mouth, saying, "Do not speak Boboiboy! I've seen this in movies! This man... IS PART OF SOME SORT OF SECRET ORGANIZATIOOOON!"

Ozpin's eyes briefly shine but quickly change to a look of amusement.

"That's a bit judgemental of you isn't? After all, I'm just a headmaster looking out for my school."

"I see..." Papa Zola says as he enters a thoughtful expression before looking back at Ozpin.

"So... you see the potential... my student has and so you want to recruit him huuuuuh?!"

Ozpin nods and smirks as he says, "Indeed, you're quite sharp sir."

His smirk then becomes a smile as he says, "Furthermore, while the power as it is has experienced a time of peace that hasn't occurred in a long time... people like the one your student has just fought give me reason to believe there are forces at play attempting to undermine that. With that said, in my humble opinion it is with simple souls that peace will be maintained. The simplest and most innocent souls are the ones who are the mightiest after all..."

Boboiboy and Papa Zola look at the fire in the man's face and see genuine conviction in this words.

"If those words have convinced you in my lack of malice, then please... answer my question."

With a gulp, Boboiboy proceeds to answer.

"Alright. I am from Kuala Lumpur, Malayasia but I go to school in Sekolah Rendah Pulau Rintis or in English, Rintis Island Elementary School. I am Boboiboy, nice to meet you sir."

Hearing that slew of foreign words, Ruby halts in her stroll through cloud nine to listen.

"I'm... afraid I've never heard of such a place... tell me... what continent is that from? Sanus perhaps?"

"I've never heard of Sanus before. But where we ARE from is in the Southeast of Asia! Surely you must've heard of the largest continent?" Papa Zola boldly proclaims.

"That's... Sanus... though?" Ruby chimes in, now confused even more.

"Perhaps it is a linggual barrier? Apologies." Ozpin concludes.

Boboiboy then puts forward his watch with a hologram of the Earth's map.

Papa Zola praises his student while giving him a party on the back for such an ingenious idea.

The boy points at the spot where Malaysia is and says, "This is where we're from. See?"

Judging by Ruby's look of confusion, and Ozpin's brief look of shock? Terror? Boboiboy begins to piece together that something is wrong...

Ozpin soon echoes this very sentiment, albeit with a heavy reluctance on his part.

"I have... a theory... and... it may sound weird... but please answer this one question..."

"Oh! And what is thaaaaat!?"

"Are you two not from around here?"

This leads the two to think. Remembering their circumstance... it is very likely.

"Maybe... that would explain many things..." Boboiboy says.

Papa Zola then gives his answer by providing his own question.

"How long... has the moon been broken?"

This question surprises both Ozpin and Ruby off guard.

"It had... always been broken..?" Ruby answers.

Stunned into silence, Boboiboy arrives into the same conclusion everyone else has.

"We... really are in a different world..."

"Woah, are you like aliens?" The girl in red asks, her voice full of awe and intrigue.

"I... guess you could say that?" Boboiboy says, unsure how to proceed.

"This has been... enlightening. Since I have confirmed that you are indeed completely foreign to this world, then I believe it is only right that I greet you as a sort of... ambassador of sorts. Greetings, I am Professor Ozpin, Headmaster of Beacon Academy for huntsmen and huntresses. I formally welcome you to our humble planet Remnant, and our city, Vale."

"I am... Papa Zola! Short for (insert really long meaning of Papa) Zola! By day, I am... a teacher with multiple specialties! And by night... I am a hero of justice and professional squid fisheeeeer!"

"S...quid..?" Ruby asks tilting her head.

"Indeed... those underwater beasts... are the most elusiiiive!"

Ozpin and Ruby look at the man and wonder how sane this one is.

With Papa Zola's introduction out of the way, Boboiboy stands up to introduce himself.

"Good evening everyone, I am Boboiboy, just Boboiboy. I am 14 years old, and a full-time superhero. Nice to meet you every-"

However, the boy gets knocked down by Papa Zola who chastises him.

"Haiya... a full-time superhero? You still have to go to my class bucko!"

Looking over the table and at Boboiboy, Ruby chirps up as she says, "no way! You're actually YOUNGER than me! AND already a superhero!"

With a zip and a zoom, Ruby goes around the table and helps him up, pestering him, asking him questions in rapid fire barrages which the concussed boy still couldn't answer.

"W-wait I still feel so dizzy Ruby... one at a time."

Ozpin chuckles before ushering Ruby away.

"You may ask them all of your questions later, Ruby. For now, head over to your dad downstairs. He is waiting for you."

Reluctantly, she walks away, slowly closing the door as slowly as she could to savor the moment with ACTUAL aliens!

"Now, based on you have not left yet... I assume that you two lack the ability to return?"

To this Boboiboy's mood drops.

"Yeah... on the way here I tried to contact my friend... and even though the range of my watch is interplanetary... I guess it's a bigger gap than that."

Accepting his answer, Ozpin proceeds to discuss.

"Since you two are staying in Remnant, it is in my belief that I should equip you two with the necessary knowledge to survive our world."

He continues.

"Remnant is a world home wherein humanity wages a constant war against creatures of darkness, the creatures... of Grimm. That is why, we humans train up future warriors or huntsmen to take on threats."

"To combat this threat, humanity jas discovered a resource known as "Dust". It holds the elemental aspects of the world such as fire, water, earth, and etchetera. This Dust comes in the form of those gems that those people you fough tried to steal earlier. It is a versatile and deadly substance that we use for both combat and utility."

"I see... so it is similar to my watch... just limited."

"I suppose you could say that."

"As for currency, we use an internationally used monetary system known as Lien. Considering how you two have been keeping up with my discussion thus far, am I to believe that the numbering system in your world is the same?"

Papa Zola and Boboiboy look at the plastic card with intrigue.

"The money... plastic and not papeeerrrrr?!" Papa Zola says in shock.

"We tried cloth-based money before and concluded that it was much too fragile. So... we changed for plastic lien."

"Wouldn't... a credit card be easier to use?"

"True, but that is very new technology for us... and many people still prefer the assurance of cold hard cash."

Boboiboy nods, setting his point.

"Now... I have a preposition for you two... as thank you for aiding in the apprehension of multiple goons despite not needing to, I would like to give you a choice in rewards."

While Boboiboy may, at times, jump for a reward, this felt wrong to him. He feels like he was being favored for doing what he does anyways. The feeling read akin to being paid for doing a good deed. And most likely... it is.

"You... don't really have to... I was just..."

"I am aware Boboiboy. You believe that it feels wrong to accept a reward for doing something with the kindness of your heart. That is indeed the right way to think. However, excuse this one instance. Don't get it wrong, I am merely doing this for the sake of this world. Since you'll be staying, I'm ready to provide for the both of you.

I sense great power in you two as well as goodness, so weathering you two down by not aiding you will only prove detrimental to what I am protecting. In a way, this is less a reward and more... an investment."

"So... what are those choices?" Papa Zola asks in an uncharacteristically serious tone.

"A. I give you two the money and housing that will set you two for the next two months and leave you to your business... With some caveats of course... or...

B. You two enroll in my school as teacher and student. Should you pass, you will be staying at the school dorms until Boboiboy's term as a student ends and he becomes a licensed huntsman.

So? What will it be?"

Papa Zola opens his mouth to answer but then his vision lands on Boboiboy and he stops. He proceeds to ask the boy for his answer.

"You decide, Boboiboy. If it means I can protect my student... then I can handle either."

With the weight of the voice on Boboiboy's shoulders, he begins to think long and hard. After thirty whole minutes, he comes to a decision.

"Professor Ozpin... in this world, is it right to believe that the word superhero holds no sway?"

"Among the cynical, jaded adults? No..."

"Then I've made up my mind... until it does, I will train to be a huntsman. I, Boboiboy will gladly take up your trial."

"If my student is in... then I, Papa Zola, shall too!"

Ozpin smiles at he hears. "That's great news."

Her then turns to the slightly ajar door and calls out to the peeper.

"Oh, and Ruby?"

Said peeper panics and falls face first after the door she was leaning into fell.

"Y-yes!"

"As much as possible, I would like you three to keep this information between us. We wouldn't want that information to fall into the wrong hands, right? Oh and Ruby, please acquaint our new friends to this world for me please?"

"W-wait me?!"

She begins to hyperventilate after hearing this.

However, a warm, comforting hand then lands on her shoulder and he looks forward and sees Boboiboy in front of her with a smile.

"Don't sweat it! Just go at it at your own pace."

Being the awkward girl that she is, Ruby stiffens at the touch as she blurts out, "W-will do sir!" Her face is red from embarrassment.

Posing once more, Papa produces podium-worthy delivery. "Very well. From here on out, I shall be... Professor Zolaaaaa!"

Ruby and Ozpin had to jump behind a table from the explosion declaration produced.

"Ok, but seriously Ruby, your father is waiting for you downstairs."

After their meeting Ozpin kept Papa Zola while urging the two to go outside the room.

"So... what now?" Boboiboy asks as they make their way through the police station hall.

"Well... I don't know really... I've only rarely been in the city before."

Downstairs, a man could be seen pacing in the lobby alongside a blonde woman in her teens who was drinking a can of soda.

"Calm down dad, you heard what the Miss Goodwitch said."

The girl then proceeds to parrot the huntress' words.

"Your daughter is not in trouble Tai Yang Xiao Long, she's just being questioned about the events earlier."

"I know honey... its just..."

"Yeah, yeah, you're worried. I know. I am too, dad. Well, while you're waiting here, I'mma go get another soda. Want anything?"

"A latte would be nice..."

"Got it. See you in a few."

"Stay safe, Yang!" Tai calls out one last time before going back to his pacing. However, with nothing distracting his anxiety, every little sound became significantly louder.

As such, he begins to overhear a conversation between his precious daughter and another voice. Or rather... just snippets...

"Maybe... show me... your sword... taste... my... part..."

"Awesome!"

This conversation proceeded by giggling made Tai's fatherly senses tingle... with some reluctance on his part, the man begins making his way to the stairs only to see his daughter and a boy fell down the stairs... hugging on the ground... the man then sees red as he lets out a roar of blood-curdling fury. The terrified scream of two children barely into puberty follow soon after.

As the disembodied voice of a french man transitions the scenes with a, "A few days later..." the story cuts to Ruby squished in her sister, Yang's, arms as they go off to Beacon on a bullhead.

Yang squeals mid-hug before giddily saying, "I can't believe my lil' sister is going to Beacon with me! This is the best day ever!!"

Ruby, whether it be due to embarrassment or asphyxiation, begs Yang, "Please... stop..."

Thankfully, buff blonde brawler complies. Even so...

"But I'm so proud of you!"

"Really sis, it was nothing."

"What do you mean? It was incredible! Everyone in Beacon is going to think you're the bee's knees!"

Therein lies the problem for Ruby...

"I don't wanna be the "bee's knees" okay? I don't wanna be any kind of knees! I just wanna be a normal girl, with normal knees."

Yang is confused by this. After all, this was the very same sister who was absolutely over the moon just a few days ago when she shared it to Yang and their father.

"What's... with you? Aren't you excited?"

"Of course I'm excited, I just..."

Ruby then releases a sigh of exasperation.

"I got moved ahead two years. I don't want people to think I'm special or anything."

Yang tries to assure Ruby.

"But you ARE special."

But much to Yang's concern this seems to only worsen her mood instead. So she quickly tries to alleviate the situation.

"B-but if you're really worried about that sort of thing, then just remember you possibly couldn't be the only one. I mean look at that guy staring out the window. He looks pretty young."

Then Ruby looks closely at the boy and her eyes widen.

"Wait, it's you! Boboiboy!"

Recognizing the voice behind him, he turns around with an excited look. "Ruby! Good to see you again!"

"Same! After days of paperwork for who my legal guardian should be and my schooling and whatever else, it's great to know I'm finally able to hang out with you!"

"Oho~ aren't you going to introduce me to your boyfriend?"

"H-he's not my... were not..."

"She's right! We're just friends! I swear! Please don't sic her dad on me again!"

Yang bursts out into laughter at the reaction of the two only to double take.

"Wait... what do you mean dad? What did dad do?"

"Oh! He's your dad as well... well er..."

Flashing back to that night...

"Maybe you can show me your lightning sword and maybe you can have a taste at my favorite part of the Valean cuisine..."

"Oh! That's awesome!"

"Heheh... do you ALWAYS do the thumb thing?"

"Oh... s-sorry, just a habit of mine when i get excited. Is it bothering you?"

"No. No, not really. Actually, I kinda like it... it's... well awesome." She says while imitating his thumb thing much to both of their amusement.

As they talked, they failed to notice Ruby's cloak while they descended the flight of stairs and ending up with both of them tumbling down the flight of stairs.

Boboiboy's protective instinct kicks in and shields Ruby from most of the steps. This results on her landing on Boboiboy face-to-face in a very awkward position.

Moments later, the sound of a man's war cry echoes through the police department's halls as a blonde man rushes at Boboiboy screaming, "GET AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTEEEEER!"

The two scream in terror which is quickly followed up the two screaming as the man rushes at them like an enraged bull.

The man's hand then clamps down on Boboiboy's head like a vice.

"MY DAUGHTER."

The man proceeds to swing Boboiboy at the speed that the two actually look like a speedy blur to everyone else.

"IS TOO."

The man finally ends it by throwing Boboiboy through second floor, ceiling and roof as he shouts the final part.

"YOOOOOUUUUUUNG!"

The flashback is quickly cut off Yang bursts into uproarious laughter.

Ruby and Boboiboy make themselves small, scared of the attention Yang's laughter was garnering. Thankfully, she eventually stops laughing and settles down.

"Anyways... Hello, my name is Boboiboy. Nice to meet you Ruby's sister."

"The name's Yang, Yang Xiao Long, Ruby's sister. Anyways, you seem quite young for someone attending Beacon. How old are you?"

"I am fourteen years old, why?"

"WHAT?!! You're even younger than Ruby! How did you enroll at such a Yang age(heh, see what I did there)?!"

"Oh! Me and Ruby stopped a robbery and Mr. Ozpin was kind enough to give me and Ruby an invitation here."

"Oh! You're the guy Ruby has been fawning over for the last week then."

"Y-Yang! Don't say that!"

As Yang recreates Ruby's reactions, the younger of the two desperately tries to stop her sister without much luck due to their physical strength difference.

"She was all like-"

"YANG STOOOOP-"

"He  was so cool and he creates really cool weaponry and I want to see his sword and all his other cool weapons! And- and- and-"

"Yaaaaang please stooooop! I beeeeeg yoooouuuu!"

"And he went kaboom! Kapow! Hiyaaa! Hwachaaa!"

"Yaaaang! I swear I'll hide your gaming scroll if you keep this uuup!"

Boboiboy sweats awkwardly, unknowing of how to rest in this situation. Fortunately, he didn't have to as the news then plays from a hologram and shows the mugshots of the bowler hat guy and a reporter with the name Lisa Lisa Lavender on her tag.

"Wait... wasn't that the guy Ruby?"

She sighs in relief and nods.

"Yea..."

The reporter proceeds with her report.

"The robbery was led by the nefarious criminal Roman Torchwick on a local dust shop. Evidences point to the various other dust robberies in the past week to be either correlated to him as well. As to why, we will move to our field reporter, Myrrh at the police station. Myrrh?"

Boboiboy reminisces of the past after hearing the words 'nefarious criminal' and thinks to himself.

'I wonder how Adudu is doing nowadays... I hope Probe and Computer are still doing fine as well...'

Yang and Ruby look worriedly at Boboiboy's thousand yard stare.

'Did the fight with the robber traumatize him?'

'Maybe dad?'

'He is fourteen after all.'

Ruby asks Boboiboy, "hey... you alright..?"

Boboiboy snaps back to reality, saying, "H-huh?"

"You went blank after looking at those mugshots. Are you alright?" Yang adds.

"What? No- I mean, yes. He just reminds me a friend of mine, that's all."

"Friend?" Yang and Ruby both ask in unison.

"Yeah, he was sometimes one of my worst arch nemeses and sometimes one of my closest friends."

"Was he an alien like you?"

Yang gives Ruby a chastising look as she says, "Ruby... just coz they're foreigners, that does not give you the right to call him or his friend aliens."

Ruby attempts to defend herself but then remember the promise made to Ozpin and swallows her pride instead.

A hologram of Ms. Goodwitch then replaces the news as she begins the prerecorded message.

"Hello, and welcome to Beacon!"

"Who is she?" Yang interjects only to swiftly get her answer.

"My name is Glynda Goodwitch."

"Oh..."

"You are among the few who have been given the priviledged honor to join the prestigous academy! Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future Huntsmen and Huntresses, it is your duty to uphold that. You have demonstrated the courage for such a task, and now it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and training to protect the world."

Boboiboy looks at the screen as it fades to black, processing those words.

Ruby on the other hand approaches the aircraft's windows and looks down in glee.

"Woah! Look you can see Signal from up here. Looks like home isn't too far after all!"

Boboiboy sighs after hearing this.

"S-sorry Boboiboy."

"Huh? Oh don't be. I'm just a but... homesick is all..."

"Yea... me too..."

To distract the two from their woes, Yang wraps an arm around rach of their shoulders into a group hug.

"Cheer up you two. Home is where the heart is right? And your hearts are still in the right place... so you're still at home." Yang says with a bright smile.

"Huh... yeah... I guess that makes sense... thanks... er... Yang."

Their little heartfelt interaction is soon cut shot as blonde man in white zips around them, holding in his vomit.

"I guess the view isn't for everyone I guess." Yang remarks, before rolling her eyes in disgust.

"It was a nice moment... while it lasted anyways."

She then changes the topic slightly.

"I wonder who we're gonna meet! I just hope they're better than vomit boy over there."

Boboiboy chuckles only to abruptly stop as his vision lands on Yang's shoe. Ruby follows where his eyes were looking and says, "Yang, you got puke on your shoe."

Yang looks down and freaks out in disgust as she says, "Ew, gross, gross, gross, gross!"

"Get-get away from me! Get away from me! Get away from me! Get away from me!" Ruby shouts not wanting to get any of that vomit on her as well.

Seeing the two, Boboiboy couldn't help but chuckle before saying, "That's awesome."

Afterthought: Hello everyone, this chapter will be the first I have finished rewriting. Apologies that I have to do this. It was just that it was messy and I've grown as a writer since then. So I decided to also improve my first piece of work.
