RWBY x Ben 10 crossover

The Forever Fall Forest

A soft breeze travelled past my face as red leaves fell around me, a couple landing on my shoulder which I brushed off. Looking back at the group of first year students following us I immediately noticed Jaune walking with Team CRDL, closed off, instead of his own Team. I move up so I was walking besides Glynda as I look to her concerned. "Hey I know the Cardin situation was dropped and all but-" I started before Professor Goodwitch pushed her glasses up letting out a sigh.
"You really need to get him out of your head Ben. Listen, you can have your suspicions all you want but as a member of Beacon Staff you cannot act on this without substantial evidence." Glynda responded.
"I know, I'm just worried about Jaune." I sighed as I slowed down, Pyrrha catching up to walk next to me.
"You're certainly not the only one Ben." Pyrrha sighed.

"Yes students, the forest of the Forever Falls is indeed beautiful, but we are not here to sightsee. Professor peach has asked all of you to collect samples from the trees deep inside this forest and I'm here to make sure none of you died whilst doing so." Professor Goodwitch called out as she noticed a certain team trailing behind.
Looking back, I saw Jaune struggle to carry a box with jars on top. Where the rest of us were carrying our own jars, Jaune was carrying his as well as Team CRDL's. "Ben, you were there at the staff meeting preparing for this right?" Pyrrha asked as I noticed.
"Yeah, though Professor Peach gave me and Professor Goodwitch a list of equipment the day before." I responded.
"So-" Before Pyrrha could continue, the aforementioned professor cleared her throat whilst glaring at us.
"As I was saying each one of you is responsible for gathering one jars worth of red sap. However, this forest is full of the creatures of Grimm so be sure to stay by your teammates. We will rendezvous back here at four O'clock. Have fun." Glynda finished as she approached me whilst Pyrrha was dragged aside by Ren and Nora.
"Sorry for interrupting you Professor." I apologised, wanting to not be scolded too much.
"Just don't let it become a habit, Ben. In an hour meet with me here to let me know how things are progressing." Glynda commanded as I saluted.
"Yes ma'am." I smiled as she punched my shoulder.

Walking back towards Pyrrha, I noticed she was on her own. Ren and Nora were in eyes view, Nora snacking on the sap Ren proceeded to collect, though as expected Jaune was no where to be seen. "Need some help Pyrrha?" I asked as she nodded as we started harvesting some sap from the closest Forever Tree.
"If Cardin tries anything with Jaune he'll be gone, Cardin knows this." I said as I popped open my jar, placing it against the tree.
"I know, I just worry about Jaune." Pyrrha sighed as I nodded.
"You're not the only one Pyrrha, but Jaune is strong. He got into Beacon for gods sake, nothing will take him down easy." I responded.
"Thanks Ben." Pyrrha smiled as she started harvesting the sap, pouring it into our jar.

As we finished collecting the sap for our task, we heard a group of footsteps charging towards us as a panicked Russel, Dove and Sky ran through the big group of us shouting "Ursa, Ursa!" Russel cried as Yang grabbed the panicking Huntsman in training.
"Where?" Yang demanded to know as Russel pointed back where he ran from.
"Back there, it's got Cardin!" Russel responded as Pyrrha dropped her jar of sap.
"Jaune!" Pyrrha exclaimed as without thinking we charged in the direction Russel pointed us to, Ruby giving orders to her team before her and Weiss Schnee joined us in our run.

As we got to a clearing, taking cover behind some foliage so the Ursa wouldn't notice us, we saw Cardin being smacked around by the Ursa in question. After a mean sideswipe he found himself on the floor trying to crawl away from the massive Grimm. "Oh no!" Pyrrha gasped seeing this as I clenched my fist.
I may hate him but what kind of hero would I be if I let someone die, I went to slam down my palm on my Ultimatrix but before I could I heard a clang of metal. Looking up I saw Jaune standing over Cardin, blocking the claw of the Ursa with his collapsible shield. Slowly the Ursa was moving its spare claw to knock Jaune out of its way, we all saw it coming but before Weiss could step in Pyrrha held out her hand stopping her. "Wait." She suddenly said as we looked at Pyrrha concerned.
As my gaze returned to the fight, I saw Jaune slash at the Grimm, hitting his attack across the bear like creature's chest. The Ursa retaliated with pure fury as Jaune side rolled away, dodging the attack with ease. Angered at Jaunes persistence, the Ursa swiped at Jaune's legs which the swordsman jumped over only to be punched by the Grimm, sending Jaune flying. Without hesitation our classmate charged back at the Grimm only to be smacked away again, the huntsman in training to a glance down to his scroll before he and the Ursa charged at each other, both swinging for an attack. At the angle we were watching from we knew Jaune wouldn't make the hit in time and the Ursa would surely make his. I closed my eyes, not wanting to watch my friend lose his life though and all I heard was the clang of metal, Jaune letting out a battle cry and a loud thud occurring. As I opened my eyes slowly, I saw Jaune standing above the body of the Ursa, the creatures head separated from its body as the creature faded from existence. I let out a sigh of relief though there was one thing I needed to do, I booted up the Ultimatrix and slammed my wrist onto the hologram of my new alien I haven't had the chance to use yet.

Suddenly a large Bipedal tiger charged towards Jaune and Cardin. Jaune let out a gulp, clearly not ready for another fight, however the creature charged past the Blonde before picking up Cardin by the hem of his shirt. "LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING CARDIN WINCHESTER, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU WERE DOING HERE HOWEVER YOU LEAD MY FRIEND INTO A FIGHT FOR HIS LIFE AGAIN AND RATH WILL PERSONALLY RIP OFF YOUR HEAD AND USE IT AS A PUPPET!" The, self-proclaimed, Rath roared out as Cardin fainted from fear.
"B-Ben?" Jaune asked, recognising the creature as the alien he saw a picture of a month ago before the whole Cardin incident.
"AND AS FOR YOU JAUNE ARC EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED HERE!" Rath roared.
"C-Cardin wanted me to throw a jar of sap at Pyrrha before letting out some wasps to embarrass her but when I refused, they started beating me up before the Ursa arrived." Jaune responded, scared of how hostile this new form of Ben's was.
"THEN LET RATH GIVE YOU SOME ADVICE," Rath got ready as he lumped the unconscious Cardin over his shoulder "Following people like this will only make you forget the real friends you have, be a team leader Jaune." Rath softly said as he walked back to the previous clearing.

"So was that the only incident with Grimm in this trip Ben?" Professor Goodwitch asked as I nodded.
"I don't know why Jaune was following him but from what he said he definitely wasn't with them due to just being friends." I sighed as Professor Goodwitch nodded.
"People do unreasonable things when in fear, its why so many towns in Remnant have fallen to Grimm." Glynda sighed.
"Yeah I guess...By the way Professor can I ask you a favour?" I asked as she tilted her head.
"Depends on what it is." Glynda responded.
"Do you think we could try the aura awakening on me, I don't know if because I am from another universe I don't have any but if I can I want to." I responded as Glynda nodded.
"We can do this when we get back, in the mean time though lets go meet with the students." Professor Goodwitch nodded as we got up from the two rocks we were sitting on before heading back towards the students.
