The New Guilty Gear (RWBY X Guilty Gear X Male Reader)

-Overture-

3rd Pov:

F/N: "ORA!"

Heaving his mock weapon at the oak tree in front of him F/N continues his daily morning workout as he spars with his newfound training dummy in an attempt to regain the strength that he had lost after Beacon's destruction. Two months, that's how long it had been since everything had come crashing down, and when the entirety of Remnant had gone in complete panic. Travel between kingdoms had become prohibited in fear of another disaster like Beacon happening again. The presence of the White Fang during the attack on Beacon put a target on the backs of Faunus now more than ever, with persecution against them being more and more prevalent. Everyone was wondering how things had gotten to this point, and just who was responsible for this mess in the first place. Those who knew the truth kept their mouths shut as revealing it would only further plunge the world into chaos. Others, however, claimed that they had saw creatures, unlike any Grimm they had ever seen before, and that the culprit of the attack on Beacon may have been a student from the academy itself as they transformed into one of these creatures themselves during the tournament. This student's identity was kept under wraps of course thanks to a certain blonde-haired witch, but there were still those looking for a way to find uncover their identity.

F/N: '(Panting) I've been here for almost a month now, and all I've been doing is wasting time! I have to go to Illyria now!'

A voice then emerges from the depths of F/N's soul as it tries to console him and his newfound anger.

Jack O': 'I know how you feel F/N, but you and I both know that right now you're in no condition to get on the road, especially when you're not even back to your usual self yet.'

F/N: 'Maybe, but how am I supposed to get to Illyria if all the roads are closed. Hell, even now they're sending patrols all the way out here. If I'm gonna leave I have to do it now!"

The angered boy, cleaves at the tree in front of him once again, as flames started to swirl around his body with an impenetrable heat.

Jack O': 'Calm down F/N!  Think about it, losing your head now isn't going to solve anything."

F/N: "I know that damnit! But every second I spend here is just more and more time wasted! Time that mind you could be used getting my ass to Illyria and kicking K's and Cinder's asses to fucking moon!"

With his anger now overtaking his mind and body, F/N strikes the tree again, this time cutting it completely in half with a single horizontal slash as the sound of metal echoes throughout the forest.

???: "Uhh, who are you talking to?"

F/N then turns around to see Ruby, wearing a black t-shirt, a red plaid skirt, and the necklace that he gave her from their first date.

F/N: " N-No one, just venting to myself."

Ruby: "R-Right."

F/N: "..."

Ruby: "..."

F/N/Ruby: "Hey./So."

The two then have a slight pause in their speech as the chirping of birds can be heard whistling through the air.

F/N: "(Laughs) You go first."

Ruby: "Look, I know you've been pretty distant this past month and I wasn't sure if it's something I did or..."

F/N: "No of course not! I-It's not you... It's just,(sighs) with everything that's happened I... I can't help but feel that all of this is my fault."

Ruby: "F/N we talked about this, nobody here blames you for what happened."

F/N: "But I do Ruby. All of those people who lost their lives at Beacon are on my hands: Penny, Pyrrha, and Oum forbid Akira wherever he is."
