AN: Hey everyone, I have a new story I wanted to put out the first few chapters for before I finish one of my other stories. This one is a crossover between RWBY and the Fate series but is not what you may think. This is not a Holy War for the grail with one series as servants to the others. I planned that concept multiple ways, but it never worked out that well in my head. Plus, I have written a couple of dark stories already and wanted to do something that was a bit more casual and non-world ending. Here, I wanted to make something that allowed me to work with as many of the Fate characters as possible, without a looming threat impeding the story. And I like the idea of incorporating RWBY cast because I see a lot of similar characters between both series. There are a lot of things I need to clarify with this story, but I will leave most of that to the authors note at the end. For now, note that this takes place in Remnant around the time between Volume one and two. However, this does not put Vale in a dire situation and alters Cinder's plans and actions, (Note that Neo is already part of her team with Emerald and Mercury. She is also in her normal attire and I did this, so I could include her in this story). Also, this is a story I wanted to do a lot more with relationships; mentoring, befriending, and a couple of romantic ones I want to try and write because I don't normally focus on those aspects of the stories I write. Hope you enjoy this chapter, let me know what you thought or if you have any suggestions, and have a nice day.

Chapter 1 – A Whole New World

In the Beacon Academy Library, Jaune sat in front of a computer screen. He had a smile on his face as he typed. In the corner of his eye, he noticed his friend with the silver eyes, "Ruby!" He called out, momentarily forgetting he was in the library after gaining the girl's attention.

Ruby walked over to her friend quietly, not wanting to attract any more awkward attention from the already annoyed students, "Hey Jaune, how did your finals go?" she asked as she sat down in the free seat to his right.

"I did okay," He replied with slight disappointment in his voice, "I wish they were better, but they wouldn't have been nearly as good if Pyrrha didn't help me study. You?"

"Oh, they were good. The all-night study session helped. But, I think Pyrrha might have been a better teacher than Weiss was." Ruby replied with a slight giggle in her voice, "I just came here to return some book and decided on what to do for the long break. Yang wants our team to rent a car and go on a road trip to the other kingdoms. Weiss wants to stay here and train for the next year, maybe shadow a huntsman or two. And Blake wants to…well…stay here and do some reading." Ruby said as something appeared on Jaune's computer screen. She continued as he started to type, "They left it up to me to decide what we are going to do, but I can't make up my mind?" The silver eyed girl looked over at the computer screen, "So, what's your team going to do?"

"We haven't decided yet," Jaune replied as he maintained eye contact with the screen, "I'm sorry. I'm talking with my sister."

"Oh, I forgot you had sisters. My bad, I'll let you chat," Ruby said as she waited while he typed. After a few seconds, she tried to look at the screen over his shoulder, "What are you talking about?"

"Nothing much, just catching up." He replied as he tried to block the screen causally with the back of his head, "She goes to a different academy that's a little more private." He said as the silver eyed girl red a very interesting text.

"My school is running an exchange program this break. A few teams can stay at the academy, take classes, and experience our way of living in the world of Remnant. Want to come over and train with your older sister?" Ruby read before turning back to Jaune, "I think that's a cool thing they are doing," Suddenly, the silver eyed girl had an idea, "Jaune, that's our teams can do this summer!" she exclaimed, momentarily forgetting she was in the library.

After hearing other students shush them for their outburst, Jaune continued the conversation, "Ruby, I don't know about this. Do you really think the others want their break from school to be…more school?"

"But it's like she said, it's their way of living in the world of Remnant. We could learn a lot from them." Ruby responded in her persuasive tone, "Plus, I want to meet your sister. She seems nice."

"Well, I haven't seen her in a while." Jaune replied before he paused for a second, "Okay, I'll talk with the others if you can convince your team to come along. Then, I'll let my sister know the good news."

"Awesome, I'm sure I can convince my team to join." Ruby said as a big smile formed on her face, "This is going to be the best break ever!" She said in an overjoyed tone, again forgetting she was in the library.

A few days later.

In the middle of the sky, a large airplane sorrowed through the clouded. Inside, Ruby sat on in the middle seat on the right-hand side. She was asleep as a soft mask covered her eyes, a bit drool leaked out the right corner of her mouth. Her head listed lazily to the left, stopping upon hit her teammate Weiss's shoulder. The heiress had headphones on as she watched a movie on her scroll. Upon feeling her team leader's presence, Weiss somewhat forcefully nudged the sleeping girl with her right elbow.

"Wha-!?" Ruby jutted awake, bouncing slightly out of her seat, "Are we there!?" She said as she pushed up her sleeping mask.

"No, Miss Rose." A voice called out to the right of the silver eyed girl. She turned to see her teacher at Beacon, Glynda, next to her on. The professor was typing on her tablet, before adjusting her glasses. "But, we should be landing shortly."

Ruby sighed before relaxing back into her chair, "That's good, the trip there has been kind of boring. I feel like we have been on this plane forever." Ruby said as she looked over to the seats in front of her. She saw her sister, Yang, giggling as she watched the in-flight movie. Blake sat to the blonde girl's left, read as she used the light from her scroll to easily see the words in her book. In the row ahead, Ren laid asleep with his head resting on a pillow. Next to him sat Nora, eating from what looked to be her fifth bag of peanuts. On the row across, Jaune sat next to Pyrrha. The red-haired warrior rubbed her leader's back with her left hand as he had a queasy expression holding a brown paper bag. Ruby turned back to her professor, "Thanks again for supervising us on of trip. We couldn't get both teams form our school without your help."

"Ozpin was hoping students would take advantage of this opportunity. He was just not expecting your and Mr. Ark's team to bring up the subject so soon after its announcement." Glynda responded with a slight smile, "The other professors chose to partake in some type of safari. While I am more interested in how this school operates as an institution." Glynda said as she continued to scroll on her tablet, "It seems their terminology and use of technology differ heavily from the other kingdoms, including Vale."

"Wow," Ruby said as she rubbed her eyes with her left hand, "I think I'm going to wash my face before we land." The silver eyed girl said before she stood up. She slid past her professor and began walking to the back of the airship. As she made it to the door to the bathroom, she noticed it was occupied. After a few seconds of waiting, the door opened.

Out walked a woman with long black hair that covered her right eye. However, she still maintained a piercing gaze with her amber left eye looking down on Ruby, "After you." The woman gestured as she got out of the way of the silver eyed girl.

"Thanks," Ruby said with a smile as the black haired responded with a smile of her own. She walked back to her seat a few rows behind Weiss. The black-haired woman sat down and gazed out the window. She watched the clouds pass by with a slight smile on her face. Next to her sat a woman with mint colored hair, who was reading from a hardcover book. She glared at the grey-haired man sitting next to her, who was hogging the armrests. His eyes were closed as a foam, neck pillow aiding in his relaxation. Behind the three sat a pint-sized girl with pink and brown hair. She sat quietly in the middle seat, the row to herself with a smug smile on her face. She was indulging in the space and freedom.

Before Ruby entered the restroom, "They seem nice." The silver eyed girl thought before entering the restroom, closing the door behind her.

A while later.

On the outside of the airport, a woman waited while she sat on a bench. Her hair was blond and breaded into a long ponytail. She wore a dark blue blazer with a small tie and white undershirt. Her mini skirt and thigh high stocks were also dark blue. She watched the crowds of people pass by until she spotted the leader of Team JNPR, accompanied by his friends carrying their luggage, "Jaune!" She called as she stood up.

Jaune turned towards the woman quickly approaching, a smile forming on his. The two embraced with a hug, "It's good to see you." He said before letting go of her, moving out of the way so Ruby and the others could see, "Everyone, this is my sister."

Jaune introduced with his sister giving a slight bow, "It is a pleasure to finally meet you all." She then pleased her right hand on her chest, "My name is Jeanne. I'm Jaune's older sister by two years."

"Wait," Yang interrupted as she put down had a look of confusion, "Jaune and …Jeanne?"

The brother and sister had a slight chuckle at her response, "I know they sound very similar, that was an issue for us when growing up." She answered with Jaune having a slight smile on his face. Jeanne looked down at her watch, noticing the time, "For now, let's head over to the academy." She said with the others nodding.

Jeanne led the group out of the lobby area towards a large, double-decker, red bus. They bordered the vehicle, Ruby being the last to enter. She found a seat next to the female Arc on the right side of the bus. As soon as she sat down, the engine started and the bus began to move.

As the road through the town, the silver eyed girl could see the many homes and storefronts. She was caught by the enticing aroma of bread passing the bakery, the strong scent of grounded beans from the coffee shop, she could even smell a hint of wine form a nearby pub. As she looked at the buildings, the brickwork hypnotized her. The bricks of white, brown, and grey formed patters in the wall. Ruby looked at the sky, seeing the setting sun. The lighted changed to an orangish hue as she saw some street lanterns begin to turn on, "This really peaceful." Ruby said as she felt the silence of land put a tranquil smile on her face.

"This land is very different from the Vale you are used to," Jeanne answered as they bus made it out of the town, taking them on a long road. The road was surrounded by two grassy plains that seem to stretch for miles, "You are now in Apocrypha."

"So, do you have to worry about Grimm attacking the city?" Ruby said as she noticed a forest in the far distance to her right, "You must have a lot of huntsmen and huntresses on watch."

"No, those creatures have not gotten near the people of this land in ages." Jeanne said with Ruby still having a look of confusion, "Apocrypha does not have the geographical advantages the other kingdoms have. That lead to most of the residents leaving this land and traveling to the other kingdoms due to the constant invasions. However, not all could leave for various reasons. And those that chose to protect the people had to use everything they had to save those they cared about." She then turned to Ruby with a slight smile, "That is why we do not call them Huntsmen or Huntresses in this land. We call them Heroic Spirits, people who save lives even at the cost of their own."

"Wow," Ruby responded before she looked to the road straight ahead, seeing what she assumed their destination. She a large stone castle that looked like it stretched for a mile. The bus stopped in front of a wooden gate. A few seconds later, the gate began to rise. Upon gaining permission to enter, the bus continued into the castle before stopping again near the entrance to inside the building.

The group exited the bus with Jeanne exiting first. She stood in front of the door to enter, which was also guarded on the left and right side by two Golem-like monsters of clay. "On behalf of the school, I would like to welcome to Chaldea Academy." She then turned around as the gated door opened by itself.

AN: And that's the first chapter. With this series, many of the characters that are servants in Fate will either be other students or teachers, which I do like as a concept for this story. Jaune and Jeanne being brother and sister felt to me like a cool way to connect both series. The kingdom of Apocrypha is meant to be a somewhat European influence, with the namesake from the light novel series. Chaldea Academy is also taken from Grand Order. I wanted this academy to feel like a big castle, leaving me room to have so many things involved on the inside. The next chapter will explain this further, but this story kind of mixes the lore of both series. That is all for now, thanks for reading, and hope to see you in the next chapter. The next couple of chapters will be uploaded soon. Then, I will finish one of my other stories before continuing this one.

Edit: A quick addition to this note for new people to this story. There is a lot of cross series fighting in this fanfic. While it may seem one sided against RWBY characters for the beginning of the story, those characters will get stronger to match up against Fate powerhouses as they train, and the story evolves. It is this type of progression I want to show, please keep that in mind if you continue to read.
