Disclaimer: I do not own Code Geass and RWBY; otherwise I wouldn't be doing fanfiction.

A/N: Now one thing I will say is that I am working on LRKS still, but I am waiting for more of volume four to come out so I can plan out Lelouch and Suzaku's back-stories considering they are from Mistral which the World of Remnant videos and episodes released so far have convinced me I made a good choice in choosing Mistral as their birthplace.

Hopefully this will top you guys over until then.

Next thanks to OBSERVER01, shikyoseinen, Bylackbre and a few others who are not authors on the site for their help and input with the story.

The story takes place right before Code Geass and it begins with Lelouch aiding and working as a co-founder along with a group of travelers who followed an old legend speaking of a "paradise free of Grimm" but what they find upon arriving on Earth was anything but a paradise but it was free of Grimm. Through an unexpected and tense incident Lelouch and the travelers from Remnant began working together to build a revolutionary army to topple the Holy Britannian Empire seeing it as a threat to them and Remnant should they discover its existence.

If they win the war the travelers will have a chance to make a new home in Japan and Lelouch will get his revenge and the new world for his sister.

Yet waging a war on two worlds can be dangerous especially if other parties started becoming aware of the other world, but how long can they keep the Grimm finding a way to Earth.

As for pairings I haven't decided anything yet for Suzaku, but for Lelouch I am going to be aiming for a Weiss and Lelouch pairing with Blake as a back-up if an unlikely one considering Blake's past with the White Fang. Yang I am not certain either depending on how events might play out and Ruby is a tad too innocent for the likes of Lelouch. However I could reconsider my decision depending on how certain events turn out.

I will not do a Coco and Lelouch pairing since another author is already doing one.

I'll save everything else for the end of the chapter, so on with the story. But I designed this chapter to help for those possibly not overly familiar with RWBY and/or Code Geass in some degree, but it's merely setting the stage for chapter two.

thoughts/flashback dialog

Chapter 1

Shady Foundations

In an old barn house on the outskirts of the Kingdom of Vale a pair of men was meeting with an old oil lamp providing the only source of light as it sat on the wooden table in the center of the barn which despite its age did serve its purpose well as a safe location to conduct business. The kind of business you did not want anyone to know about, but sought to make a profit where the goods being offered were from a place where one of the men involved didn't want anyone else outside of the barn knowing about them.

Aside from the two men was a third, but he was the youngest of the three being seventeen years old.

He wore a black ascot cap with a black trench coat worn over a white dress shirt and black pants with matching shoes including black gloves on his hands. He kept his collar up in an effort to conceal his identity as he quietly observed the meeting. He had black hair, a fair skin complexion, and amethyst eyes along with a thin and lanky body.

"As always, it's a pleasure doing business with you since all of the trinkets you have brought me have been fetching a very nice price on the black market."

The man accepting the case after exchanging it for a similar case filled with payment for the trinkets he had spoken of was wearing a black bowler hat, a white trench coat with black pants, shoes and matching gloves as a cane hung over one of his arms allowing him to hold the suitcase he had just accepted. He too had a fair skin complexion with green eyes and orange hair, but was a middle aged appearing to be around thirty or so.

"I hope you remember to ensure none of this will be traced back to us Torchwick."

The person who had accepted the briefcase, which was filled with gems and gold coins instead of Vale's currency, and by extension the world of Remnant's usual currency Lien, but Roman Torchwick didn't ask too many questions regarding their transactions and why they asked for payment in gold and gems instead of Lien.

Not especially when he was already making a fortune off of the trinkets he was selling he purchased from them. Along as Roman made a mint and he got no trouble for it, he was content not knowing the details of where they came from and where the money he was giving them was going.

"Of course I have been making a lot of money off our arrangement, so the last thing I would do is anything that would jeopardize it."

"I am glad you understand that part of our arrangement clearly Torchwick."

The man who accepted the briefcase containing their payment was a tall and muscular man standing at least seven feet tall with an intimidating appearance due to his animalistic gold eyes with blonde hair and a tail similar to that of a lion sticking out. He wore a black military-style uniform trimmed in gray with matching silver naval pauldrons signifying his rank in the organization he belonged to, but Torchwick didn't know which and didn't care to know. Completing his outfit he wore black boots and white gloves on his hands. The way his medium length blonde hair combined with his beard was similar to those of a lion's mane.

Once the last details were finalized Roman left with the briefcase full of new items to sell on the Black Market while the towering Faunus left alongside his younger companion.

"We should begin considering dealing with someone else." The young man said as they left the barn once he was sure Roman was far out of earshot.

"Dealing with someone new would present greater risks than just continuing to deal with him" The man advised sagely before adding, "but for now we should continue our dealings with Torchwick since he has made no attempt to double-cross us."

"Not yet… things can change."

"True enough." The Lion Faunus Leodore Ferox said in agreement. "I have heard rumors he is dealing with my former associates now, so perhaps we should begin considering selling the merchandise through someone else."

After a short time later the two walked along a dirt path leading them to a small clearing where a small VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) tiltjet aircraft, a Bullhead, lay waiting for them with two men wearing identical uniforms to their superior standing guard. With a wordless gesture the guards boarded the Bullhead followed by the young man and Leodore.

The ship took off while the young man sat in the back looking out a window in the passenger compartment to gaze at the landscape below. In a clearing the Bullhead flew over a pack of Creatures of Grimm, Beowolves specifically, lurked below them.

Lelouch Lamperouge locked eyes with one of them as the blazing red eyes of Remnant's most dangerous species met his.

It's ironic, but tragic at the same time. Those creatures despite seeking to eliminate humans and all of their creation provided an enemy for most of the world to unite against.

It made Lelouch wonder how different Earth might have been if such creatures ran wild on his world.

However, he knew that without the Grimm the world of Remnant would have been a very different place which could have been much worse or much better without those creatures. Considering all he knew about the humans and the civilizations of this world, coupled with the existence of the Faunus the young man believed their history might have been far bloodier. The Faunus intrigued him, especially when he met Leodore over a year ago and what he had learned. He wondered if some of the legends about humans possessing animal traits might have been Faunus who lived on Earth long ago who had possibly been wiped out by humanity that acted on fear and supposition.

Lelouch's suspicious about such a possibility seemed cemented by the idea that Leodore and his companion who had sought a way to Earth hearing legends of a way to a paradise that was free of Grimm seeking to begin anew there.

What they would find would be a subjugated country formerly known as Japan that had been renamed Area 11 by the Holy Britannian Empire when they conquered it seven years ago.

They were lucky I had happened upon them after that chess match otherwise things would have gotten more problematic for them.

Lelouch had been finishing up collecting his winnings from another successful underground chess match where he challenged members of the Britannian Nobility to chess matches for money, which was sometimes on behalf of a lesser noble who handled a few things for him in return. In truth, Lelouch did because the matches gave him a brief reprieve from the dull everyday simple events and he enjoyed humiliating the nobility by defeating them utterly.

As far as the world was concerned Lelouch Lamperouge was just a high school student attending Ashford Academy who acted as sociable, intelligent, pretty boy whom most of the girls admired which was more for his looks than anything else.

But a very small few knew the real Lelouch under the mask he presented to everyone else.

A disagreement broke out when Leodore and his companion attempted to use Lien in place of the accepted currency of Britannia, but when a group of thugs tried to attack them when the misunderstanding got worse partly due to the bigotry of the noble leading them Leodore fought back.

The situation didn't improve with the discovery of Leodore possessing a tail.

Lelouch recalls how not only did Leodore soundly defeated them, but he used a fighting style and power he had never seen before that allowed him to not only dodge bullets, but he deflected them seemingly with his bare hands coupled with using a superhuman power to completely overpower the thugs.

I couldn't believe what I saw, but then the things I had overheard before the fight broke out intrigued me to investigate further despite it being a risky gamble.

It was extremely risky, but Lelouch ultimately found it to be worth the risk. He met with the two outside and despite some tense introductions Lelouch assisted them and in turn he would discover the pathway they had used to travel to Earth from Remnant, although he himself was skeptical of their story at first but upon entering Remnant for the first time he was convinced.

From that moment on a partnership and the foundation of a new organization was laid that day.

A few hours later the Bullhead landed in a clearing deep in a mountain range that was south of the Kingdom of Vale, but safely hidden enough that the chances of anyone finding it was very low since very few travelers venture out so far from the kingdom.

The creatures of Grimm lurking around the surrounding forests below made sure of it.

"Alright, prepare Bullhead 4 for deployment." Leodore ordered upon disembarking the aircraft followed by Lelouch who carried the case containing their payment from Torchwick.

As the two walked off the platform that their craft was parked on Lelouch turned his eyes to identical platforms with ready to use Bullheads that acted as their primary means of transportation around the world of Remnant. Their base was built upon the ruins of an old city that had likely been abandoned centuries ago, which was likely due to Grimm infestation or other causes not known to them. Either way, once the Grimm had been cleared out they established both a permanent base and a settlement for the families of the members of their organization.

The base was nowhere close to the size of a city; however, it did give them a good amount of space and some old but sturdy structures to work with, so it was best to say their base was large enough to house a medium size settlement. Still the number of people living in the base were at least around thirty not counting the families, some of them had brought, but for some of them they were much safer here despite the dangers staying here presented.

Some of the buildings built centuries ago still stood and had been reinforced and repurposed for use while other ruins, too crumbled away or unsuitable for use were cleared away to make room for tents and quickly assembled buildings. These new structures included large tents put aside for training, an old tower converted into a communications' center, radar and tracking station in another tent, supplies and ammunition storages, homes for those living at the base. Lastly a combination of a building that had lost its roof, but replaced with tarp to create makeshift hangers for both modified aerial transports and Knightmare Frames.

The Knightmare Frames used by the men in the base were modified RPI-11 Glasgow, built by the Holy Britannian Empire and were the first combat-ready Knightmare Frames that played a large role in wiping out land-based resistance during the invasion of Japan seven years ago. Thanks to them being replaced by the new and superior model the RPI-13 Sutherland obtaining Glasgow units from the Black Market or from corrupt military officials seeking to fatten their own wallets were easy as long as you knew the right people.

This was especially true for a number of resistance groups in Japan, typically those with the funds, they have been able to usually obtain a few with the right connections.

"Tomorrow I'll deliver the contents of the case to my contact, but do we have the list ready?" Lelouch inquired.

"Yes and I looked over the list a second time to make sure, but I am concerned because isn't obtaining Glasgows and weapons becoming more of a problem." Leodore answered.

"We can thank the corrupt military and greedy nobles and businessmen for what we have so far. They don't care what happens to the weapons as long as they get rich." Lelouch answered before adopting a more serious expression. "However, you do have a point… obtaining too much with the help of one person will draw suspicion and I can't ensure he would keep our secret."

"I suppose, but we should consider changing our route and means of obtaining weapons to be safe."

Lelouch nodded, "I concur. I'll see about locating an alternate supplier to deal with."

Torchwick was not the only person, Lelouch and Leodore dealt with as they also dealt with others on Earth where they sold gems and other valuables to carefully selected buyers to obtain funds or weapons and supplies. Leodore sold some trinkets which, if sold to the right buyer would fetch a very nice price which was usually technology or items not found on Remnant which, depending on the buyer would fetch a considerable price or trade it for weapons, dust and supplies. Lelouch did similar trading on Earth, but he was much more cautious using a middle-class noble to do most of the deals.

Dealing with Black Market buyers without the police finding out or the wrong people in general was more problematic, but Lelouch was able to obtain funds which were used to obtain weapons. He did find a work around by calling on Leodore's human allies to meet with the Black Market dealers on his behalf using the funds he obtained for them. This was after he educated them on Area 11 and other needed knowledge to blend in better and to better handle dealing with such men.

"Doctor," Leodore called as he and Lelouch entered a building which was used for engineering and research for developing new weapons, "is it finished?"

"Just a second…"

Lelouch and Leodore approached to find a man with brown spiky hair with blue eyes wearing a white lab coat wearing a simple pair of jeans and a white collar shirt underneath. He seemed to be in his late forties, as he stood behind a control console with holographic display screens.

"Sorry gentlemen, I was merely working on finalizing our backdoor into the CCT system, so not only will our location remain secret, but we can access and use the towers ourselves." Doctor Desmond Brown said as he was happily finishing up completing the ghost program that would allow them to use Remnant's Cross Continental Transmit System Towers.

There were four towers, each one situated at each of Remnant's four kingdoms. They were the primary means for the people of Remnant to communicate with one another and to share information across the world.

"Not at all, but I hope we can put into effect our plans for a satellite network." Lelouch said as he had concerns about Remnant's reliance on the CCT system knowing that if one tower fell then the rest of the system would fail making international communication impossible.

"We are still a long way from that Lelouch, but I agree the CCT system as useful as it can be is a liability should any of the towers become comprised." Doctor Brown said in agreement, although on Earth the pair had learned that Earth had achieved space flight and the ability to launch satellites into space. Where Remnant had attempted it in the past using dust as a fuel propellant failed because Dust lost its power the further it got from Remnant.

Earth on the other hand had developed the means and technology lacking that limitation, but they were a long way achieving to reproduce that technology here because they would need more resources and a place to actually launch said satellites into space.

However the backdoor program being placed into the CCT towers, each tower had a part of the program inserted by those familiar with them who had traveled there, had another backdoor meant to be included with the satellite network if and when such a network would be created.

For now they had to make do with what they had.

"Desmond I believed you said it would be done by the time we returned." Leodore inquired gruffly.

"Of course, come with me gentlemen."

Desmond led both Lelouch and Leodore downstairs into his lab where he kept some of his projects at, which included various new devices and equipment he was building. He led them both to a glass tube containing what appeared to be a rapier, but its hilt was golden and orate with a revolver-style chamber that was built into the base of the blade and the top of the hilt. The blade was thicker compared to most rapiers, which was part of its ability to change configurations. It could reduce its own size to make it more compact and easier to hide in Lelouch's clothing. It had four blade-like prongs around the chamber connecting with the hilt. The hilt was black along with the blade itself.

"Is this it?" Lelouch asked as he picked up the weapon.

"Yes and I customized it to both your specifications and designed it to work with your semblance as well along with being versatile as you wanted it. I borrowed the design of a Multi Action Dust Rapier I helped create early designs for my past employer before I left."

"So have you decided on a name for your weapon?" Leodore asked.

"Yes," Lelouch answered as he took a moment to consider his options, "Clarent."

Lelouch chose the name for his desire to see the Holy Britannian Empire destroyed as the name he had given his weapon belonged to the sword infamous for striking down King Arthur, which Lelouch felt it would be fitting considering he sought to destroy the Holy Britannian Empire which used a number of names and ideas from Arthurian legends.

Besides, nothing else appealing came to mind that Lelouch felt would be appropriate.

"Clarent?" Leodore inquired curious about the name.

"It was named for the blade that was wielded by the former Knight of the Round Mordred, who famously betrayed King Arthur and dealt him a mortal blow with the blade Clarent bringing an end to his kingdom. This blade shall be what shall end Britannia."

The young man picked up the blade with his hand amazed at how light it felt in his hands. "I approve of this weapon."

"Good, but your combat skills is still woefully lacking." Leodore noted grimly. "Which I believe would help you use your semblance more effectively if your combat skill was more on the level of a huntsman."

"Yes, I know." Lelouch said with a hint of annoyance in his voice as he greatly despised physical activity, but he had been cursed with a frail and skinny body for as long as he could remember. The fact he avoided exercise like the plague didn't help him. "Anyway, I should head back to Ashford and tomorrow after a chess match I'll be attending I'll handle the preparing everything on my side."

Lelouch was grateful he was able to get out of further discussion about improving his physical strength, but Leodore much like the young wanted to have the last word.

"You are going to regret it someday, especially if you face down a huntsman or a huntress."

Lelouch's eye twitched in annoyance, but he was going to do his utmost to ensure such a situation didn't happen to him partly because even if he took improving his physique more seriously, it would take him too long to do so which would interfere with his own goals.

I desire Britannia's utter destruction and the one who killed my mother, Lelouch thought before thinking about his partners, they seek a home free of the monsters that plague it and the humans that torment them.

The young man knew Leodore and his men once belonged to a well-known terrorist organization known as the White Fang. The organization began originally as a civil rights group formed by Faunus, a species found on Remnant that was nearly identical to humans in almost every way save for the fact they possessed an animal trait. Some traits were more obvious than others, usually consisted of a Faunus possessing a wolf tail, rabbit ears, cat ears, a lizard tail and many more. A more common trait through was that the Faunus could see in the dark possessing night vision.

In the beginning the White Fang was meant to be a symbol of peace and unity between humans and Faunus, but unfortunately they were still discriminated against and exploited by humans. Treatment for the Faunus varied around the world of Remnant, but there was still Faunus being discriminated and exploited in one form or another with some places not as bad as others. The more well-known and notorious of groups who exploited them was the Schnee Dust Company, the largest manufacture and distributor of Dust in the World of Remnant.

In a strange sense Dust is just as valuable as Sakuradite from where I come from and it's used in almost every part of modern life. Lelouch mused. A difference between Dust, nicknamed Nature's Wrath, was that it had a much wider list of uses, especially for military and combat applications more specifically.

It was due to this that the Schnee Dust Company became one of the most wealthy and influential companies in all of remnant possessing a considerable amount of political influence worldwide.

Lelouch was certain it was thanks to its wealth and influence it was able to get away with exploiting Faunus Labor which drew considerable controversy, but no one was able to do anything about it.

And after years of fruitless efforts using mass political rallies, boycotting companies who wouldn't serve them and used Faunus Labor they changed along with their leadership.

It was five years ago when the current leader of the White Fang stepped down and a new one with a different approach assumed leadership. In a very short time organized protests and rallies were replaced with organized attacks as the White Fang burned and attacked shops and places who refused to serve Faunus. Then companies like the Schnee Dust Company who exploited Faunus Labor soon came under attack resulting in various company executives being kidnapped and executed while cargo trains and ships carrying Dust were stolen.

Even through the White Fang were getting results with this change of direction, but it was not quite the results some in the organization were hoping for with more moderate Faunus despising the White Fang for their actions causing members of their organization to leave it over time.

Leodore was among a group of Faunus who could be described as being somewhere in the middle.

The lion Faunus was a more pragmatic and had an open mind unlike the more radical leaders who had taken over. Even though he agreed the organization's past efforts using more peaceful methods were fruitless and a more aggressive stance was needed. He saw the White Fang's increasing radicalization and brutality which soon evolved into not just those who discriminated and exploited their kind, but against humanity in general which alienated more Faunus than helping them as there were many who didn't want anything to do with the White Fang.

Unfortunately, those who left the organization and wanted nothing to do with it were outnumbered by those who had been discriminated against or exploited in some way that they joined the White Fang which didn't diminish their efforts that were becoming those of seeking genocide against humanity.

The discussion between me and Leodore when we first met was the most interesting and meaningful I had in years.

Lelouch fondly recalled the discussion that stretched on for hours as Leodore told him everything about Remnant, the White Fang, the Creatures of Grimm and more in relation to their world. In turn Lelouch told him everything about Japan and the events that led to it becoming Area 11, the Holy Britannian Empire and the other superpowers.

Once they were done with their discussion, it was agreed they would help one another with Lelouch providing them knowledge on Earth and people to contact to obtain supplies in weapons while Leodore would take Lelouch under his wing to mold him into a leader of a revolution to topple an Empire. An Empire, which Leodore and his Faunus followers saw was a dangerous threat, especially should the existence of Remnant becomes known to them.

This was amplified by the fact that legends spoke of other roads leading to Earth existing and the one they found was one of many others that had yet to be discovered.

Or maybe we don't even know if they had been discovered already.

That would be a dangerous thought, which only cemented the need for Britannia to fall.

Lelouch recalled what Leodore told him, I'll teach you how to lead a rebellion against a world that is wrong and then I'll help you realize the ability to inspire others I see that you possess.

Since their time together Lelouch had learned much from Leodore including details about Remnant, its culture, the four kingdoms that rule it, the Faunus and the Grimm. Most importantly, he has been learning how to lead a rebellion as Leodore has been sharing with him his experiences, especially since Lelouch would become the leader of the new organization they would build together after he impressed Leodore with how he handled some of the lessons he gave him.

You have a natural ability to lead, but just as important, you can inspire others and you possess a strong charisma.

Even through Lelouch welcomed the chance to lead he was surprised, but he was more than accepting of the fact to have Leodore to be not only his second in command but as both his advisor and mentor.

Still, they were far from being ready to becoming an active force of revolution, but this was a far better start than Lelouch could have expected doing all of it on his own. Even though a part of him would have preferred building it up from nothing, but he logically reasoned that it would be foolish to turn down the opportunities working with Leodore and his White Fang associates could present.

Well, they aren't White Fang anymore. Lelouch mused in his mind.

Not only did Leodore bring former members of the White Fang with him, but he brought some human allies who in the past acted as informants, black market suppliers and spies able to get into places Faunus could not. They were not officially members of White Fang since humans could not join the organization, but Leodore's pragmatic mindset saw him recruited various informants and humans as spies allowing him to plan a successful series of raids and missions with their help.

Unfortunately, this was looked down upon by the new radical leaders of the organization which served as another catalyst that soured relations between Leodore and the White Fang.

Leodore brought a number of his human allies with them who was presently helping Lelouch on Earth conduct purchases of supplies, weapons and Knightmare Frames on his behalf. Those who had worked with the Remnant Black Market had the experience that greatly helped them adjust quickly despite being in a very different world.

Some things are the same no matter the world.

It took Lelouch over an hour to return home thanks to the pathway leading to Remnant located underneath Shinjuku Ghetto below the subway lines inside a set of old tunnels that must have been part of either an earlier project to expand the subway or something else. Lelouch was back on Earth, but he was back at the school, he took up residence in that was owned by his mother's old allies.

It was late, but Lelouch cautiously entered the dining room on the second floor of the school ballroom that served as both his home and the meeting place of the Student Council which he was a part of as its Vice-President.

Lelouch walked down the hall towards his room when a small voice from another room called out for him.

"Brother is that you?"

The young man couldn't help but be impressed that she realized he was there, despite his efforts of being quiet to avoid drawing notice.

He quietly opened the door to the room and answered, "Yes Nunnally?"

Lying in the bed under the covers was his younger sister by two years who looked different from Lelouch with sandy brown hair and a fair skin complexion. However, their eyes were a similar color, but the tragic incident that took the life of their mother seven years ago had taken her sight as a result of the trauma of watching their mother die and her legs crippling her for life because of the bullets that pierced them.

"Brother who came home late again?" Nunnally Lamperouge asked sadly. "We missed you at dinner."

"I am sorry about that," Lelouch said as his apology was genuine despite knowing he could not tell her what he had been doing, "I had some important matters, I had to take care of, but I'll be home for tomorrow night through."

He regretted lying to her, but it was for the best.

"You have been very busy lately."

"It's something I must take care of, but don't worry, it's for both of us."

Nunnally was still saddened by not being able to spend a lot of time with her brother, but she was at least content he was home.

"I'll tell you what I'll share with you a new story I heard about."

"Really," The sandy brown haired girl asked as her mood brightened at the mention, "what kind of new story."

"It's about how four sisters changed the life of a hermit and were rewarded. It's called the story of the Four Maidens."

"Sounds interesting… please tell me."

"Sure," Lelouch said as he was more than happy to do something for his sister to make up for being away more often than he would have preferred, "It began a long time ago in a land far away. It was deep in the forests of such a land, beside a great and mighty river, stood the small, fragile home of a cold, frail man, a wizard."

"The hermit is a wizard!" Nunnally exclaimed believing the story was going to be exciting.

"Yes," Lelouch said before continuing, "Hidden from the dangers and distractions of the world, the wizard seldom had visitors. But on this day, as he peered out his window, his gaze fell upon a young maiden. Calmly, she sat beneath his tree in a state of absolute tranquility. When the wizard demanded an explanation, the maiden simply replied, my name is Winter. I am on a journey, and I am waiting for my sisters."

"Winter… she is named after the season?" The girl asked unintentionally interrupting the story.

"No spoilers Nunnally." Her older brother joked before continuing with the story, but his thoughts began to wander elsewhere.

Amassment of weapons and supplies are going well, but we are still not ready. We more men and more weapons before we can challenge Britannia, but we need something else…

As Lelouch told Nunnally the story he remembered in that instant that Leodore and he agreed that the new organization would need a symbol to rally around.

From a symbol you can build something more for the people to rally under… a legend.

Perhaps tomorrow might present the idea for the symbol they needed. He was the presumed dead prince of the Holy Britannian Empire Lelouch vi Britannia, who sought to build a better world for his sister and bring down his father and his Empire in the process.

A/N: Well I hope this chapter wasn't just an info dump like I feared it was turning into and some of the people I shared samples of the chapter with didn't mind it so I hope it works out.

Now to clarify Lelouch's foundation for the Black Knights is roughly around the men he had when he did the battle of Narita, probably less, with thirty two members all together. They don't have too many Knightmare Frames and they are amassing a mix of weapons and supplies from both worlds.

Furthermore Lelouch is more in line with his canon counterpart and much weaker physically than his LRKS counterpart. Even though he has access to Aura and Semblance his physical ability is the same as canon so meaning even Ruby without her weapon could easily kick his ass.

The test readers agreed the set up was plausible and I'll probably do a flashback scene detailing how they met depending on feedback.

Leodore Ferox I drew inspiration for from Mayor Lionheart of Zootopia and Dalton with some obvious differences, but more hardened and practical to create a contrast between him and another certain White Fang leader.

Desmond Brown is also inspired with his name as a nod to Desmond Llewelyn, the original actor who played Q in most of the Bond movies, and his surname was from Doc Brown from Back to the Future. Befitting both his role as a scientist and Lelouch's quartermaster.

As for how Remnant and Earth existing separately let's just say I am borrowing from ideas and concepts seen in Final Fantasy 9, which is how Dust works on Earth.

"They exist together as one, but separate at the same time."

I won't say more without risking potential spoilers for both the story and the Final Fantasy game out of consideration for those who haven't played it.

RWBY and co will appear soon, but first it's time for Zero to rise.
