Chapter 247 - My CO Stash #47 - Minecraft Remnant by TheRedTelephoneBooth (MinecraftXRWBY) (2/2)

”She's falling.” Ren deadpanned, as the group watched her fall.

Everyone is to far away to do anything, but Steve quickly reacts. He goes right under the area where Weiss is going to land, and by cubic meter, digs a hole in the ground and pulls out a bucket. He then fills the hole with a huge amount of water compared to the rest of the bucket. Weiss then splashes into this brand new pond, entirely unharmed.

Yang and Blake were looking in astonishment, while Ruby and Nora had stars in her eyes. Ren, Jaune, and Pyrrha watched incredulously, all thinking 'Did that just happen?'. After all, they never experienced Steve's actions before.

Weiss looked pretty angry, after all she was drenched and wearing an entirely white outfit, not exactly a good combination. Jaune had the decency to blush while Steve removed the water from the ground with the bucket, and filled the hole back up with dirt.

This confused everyone even more, Weiss couldn't even yell at him because she was watching all of this happen incredulously. There was a complete aura of disbelief seen on the faces of the future students around this temple.

Weiss is absolutely speechless, and she asks questioningly, ”My hero?” in slight disbelief as well.

The Death Stalker is still hunting Pyrrha, but she and Jaune are flung back to the rest of the group, as the Deathstalker paused in the new meadow, looking at its surroundings.

”Great! The gang's all here! Now we can die together!” Yang yelled, as she gained a fiery aura, the rest of the group backed off, especially Steve who has had bad experiences with fire and lava before.

”Not if I can help it!” Ruby yelled as she charged toward the Deathstalker. Yang yelled trying to stop her from carrying out her plan.

Ruby screamed as she fired Crescent Rose and charged at the oncoming Death Stalker. When the two meet, the Grimm swipes Ruby away with it's claws is knocked back toward the group.

”D-Do-Don't worry! Totally fine!” Ruby said as she got up, Steve was still watching incredulously as he had no idea how people were doing these super powered moves 'Are they using potions? HOW ARE THEY DOING THIS?'

Ruby turns back to the monster and shoots it in the skull, and soon charges the Deathstalker again, after much protest from the group who starts to run toward her, but a loud ”CAW” stopped their charge.

Ruby tried rushing back towards Yang, but the Nevermore caws above them, flapping its wings and releasing lines of sharpened feathers with points that catch on Ruby's cape.

”Ruby, get out of there!” Yang yelled, trying to run over to her little sister in time.

”I'm trying!” Ruby yelled back, panicking slightly since her cloak was still stuck in the ground.

The Death Stalker approaches, raising its golden stinger above a scared Ruby and heading down on the helpless girl.

”Ruby!” Yelled Yang in desperation, not getting to her baby sister in time.

A white blur races past Yang and reaches the stinger just as it's about to pierce her, cutting the scene to black.

”You are so childish!” Said Weiss, as Ruby opened her eyes, and noticed that the stinger that was about to end her was encase din ice, and the rest of the Deathstalker was trapped in this giant ice sculpture.

Ruby opens her eyes to the sight of the stinger encased in ice and lowers her arms from their futile position over her head as she stares at her savior.

”Weiss...?” Ruby asked, slightly scared.

”And dim-witted, and hyperactive, and don't even get me started on your fighting style. And I suppose I can be a bit... difficult... but if we're going to do this, we're going to have to do this together. So if you quit trying to show off, I'll be... nicer.” Weiss finished off her speech as she and Ruby approached the rest of the group, meeting halfway in the clearing.

”I'm not trying to show off. I want you to know I can do this.” Ruby said with a slightly determined tone, wanting to prove Weiss wrong.

”You're fine.” Weiss said as they approached the group, who were observing the Deathstalker, still mostly encased in ice.

”Normal knees...” Ruby mumbled, and the only one who heard that was Steve, who was still baffled by this entire situation, but armored up into his diamond armor, and pulled out a glowing bow. Ruby soon realizes this was her savior from several days ago! She was about to rapidly fire questions at him before her sister engulfed her in a large hug.

”I'm so happy you're okay!” Yang said as she hugged Ruby, both sisters sharing a tender moment.

They were soon interrupted by Jaune who started panicking. ”Guys? That thing's circling back! What are we gonna do?”

”Look, there's no sense in dilly-dallying. Our objective is right in front of us.” As everyone stared at the artifacts. Steve, Blake noticed was eyeing the Nevermore closely.

”She's right. Our mission is to grab an artifact and make it back to the Cliffs.” Ruby agreed with Weiss.

”Run and live - that's an idea I can get behind!” Jaune yelled, with a majority of the group agreeing.

Ruby goes over and grabs a gold knight and Jaune takes hold of a gold rook, both smiling at each other. The Death Stalker continues to fight its bonds, cracking the ice a little in the process.

”Hold it, I think I can solve both our problems, give me a second.” Everyone noticed this stranger was still there, with his glowing bow notched back with an arrow, aiming toward the nevermore.

”You're never going to any damage with that you dunce!” Yelled Weiss, as she started panciking at the nevermore soon turning in the sky toward the rest of the group.

Steve released the arrow, and everyone held their breath as the arrow sailed through the air, a glorious arc of perfection, as it hit the nevermore dead between the eyes.

Soon, the nevermore spontaneously erupted into flames, and lost control of its flight path, as it was entirely engulfed in a burning inferno. The remains of the nevermore flew over the group and crashed into a panicking Deathstalker trying to escape its icy bindings. The whole area erupted into flames, and the teenagers heard a very loud ”SCCCRRREEEEEEE” before both the nevermore and Deathstalker started disintegrating.

Everyone's jaws just dropped, Jaune looked the least surprised, thinking this was a possible semblance, but the more experienced combatants watched with awe and dropped jaws at how one person could take down both a nevermore and Deathstalker with a single arrow.

Yang was the first to recover, ”Do you know what, I'm done. Let's get to the cliffs and go to bed, because I'm still not entirely sure if I'm dreaming or not.”

Everyone nodded mutely, and started making their way to the cliffs, while Steve said, ”excuse me one moment!” He came back a moment later out of the wreckage of the house, and started walking with the group toward the cliffs in the distance. He also dolled out leftover food, which made the rest of the group immensely happy, he even had cookies which Ruby was quite excited about.

”So what are you? What were you doing in the Emerald Forest?” Asked Weiss, trying to be polite but still in a state of shock over what happened.

”Well, I'm hoping to talk with your headmaster about that... Let's just say I'm not from around here.” He said, hoping to avoid the conversation until he could iron out things with the headmaster.

The group finally approached the side of the cliff, wondering how they were going to scale it. As they were attempting to come up with ideas, Steve started building a stone staircase up the side of the cliff, and soon used his pick axe to create a winding staircase to the top of the cliff.

Ruby was the first to notice, her eyes bugging out, pulling Weiss' sleeve as she was arguing with Jaune about how to get up the cliff. As soon as she saw Steve mining stone and replacing it with a staircase, her argument stopped dead, and her eye started twitching slightly. Everyone turned around, wondering what Weiss was so shocked about, and soon saw Steve, and again, their jaws dropped entirely.

”I don't think anything can surprise me anymore.” Said Blake, as she was the first to ascend up the staircase, following the path Steve was making up the side of the cliff. Everyone else just mutely nodded and started following him, all with the exception of Nora who was excited about this new development.

The group then greet Glynda and Ozpin at the top of the cliff, and start conversing with them, turning in their relics. Both Ozpin and Glynda are confused by the odd number of people, and soon notice Steve toward the back of the group.

Steve approached Ozpin, ”Headmaster Ozpin, my name is Steve,” he said as he shook the headmasters hand. ”I'm hoping I can talk to you today, I'm in quite the unique sitation at the moment and need your assistance.” He continued, looking Ozpin in the eye with a determined look.

-Later on-

Headmaster Ozpin was standing on a stage, ”Russel Thrush. Cardin Winc_h_e_s_ter. Dove Bronzewing. Sky Lark.” He started, the four people's profiles were on a screen behind Ozpin. ”The four of you retrieved the black bishop pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team CRDL, led by... Cardin Winc_h_e_s_ter!” He finished, polite clapping overtook the audience as they were all anxiously meeting their new teammates.

Steve was watching in the back of the audience, unarmored, clapping.

”Jaune Arc. Lie Ren. Pyrrha Nikos. Nora Valkyrie. The four of you retrieved the white rook pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team JNPR!” Ozpin started, people started clapping a little louder than the group before, confusing Steve slightly. Nora hugged Ren and hung off his back, ”Led by... Jaune Arc!” Ozpin finished, and a polite applause happened. Jaune looked utterly baffled by the occurrence.

A grinning Pyrrha offers a friendly shoulder bump to Jaune, but her ”fine leader” is knocked over and falls to his b_u_t_t in front of the laughing audience.

”And finally: Blake Belladonna. Ruby Rose. Weiss Schnee. Yang Xiao four of you retrieved the white knight pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team RWBY. Led by... Ruby Rose!” Steve applauded as well as the rest of the room, proud of the group for working together well.

Weiss looks to her right surprised, and by the looks of it slightly angry. Ruby is obviously in shock as Yang goes over to hug her sister.

”It looks like things are shaping up to be an... interesting year!” Ozpin yelled, and followed with, ”Leaders, please report to Glynda for your housing arrangement, and congratulations to all our new initiates.”

Ozpin soon approached Steve in the back of the room. ”Shall we adjourn to my office?” He asked, as Glynda was quickly finishing up the housing arrangements and would soon meet up with the two in the headmasters office.

Chapter 3

Thank you for all the reviews! I'm quite surprised this is getting popular. Just to make a few things clear, there will be mods for Steve present. Don't worry, Steve will travel extensively across Remnant. There will be some significant time jumps though to get along with the story. If anyone else wants to write a similar story, anyone can have a crack at it.

Headmaster Ozpin walked off the elevator into his office with Steve following closely, he was looking at the architecture with a slight sense of wonder.

”So Steve,” Headmaster Ozpin began, as they both took a seat near Ozpin's desk, ”what brings you to Beacon?” He asked, soon taking a sip of coffee from his mug.

”I guess someone wanted me to start a new adventure, as you have probably guessed, I'm not of this dimension.” Steve explained in a calm manner.

Ozpin's eyes bugged out slightly, still in utter disbelief, in all his years of teaching he never thought he would meet a dimensional traveler.

”I see... Well, this certainly makes things interesting.” Ozpin finished, still looking at the traveler with a look of suspicion. ”What are your intentions in this world?”

”I just want to live, maybe find a purpose. I do like constructing things and exploring if I'm honest. My goal was actually to build a home base before going anywhere.”

Glynda then stepped off the elevator, and sat down in the seat next to Steve, her eyes widened and she used her telekinesis to trap Steve in a hold sitting down. ”Headmaster, you realize this man was the one who attempted to capture Torchwick?!” Glynda started, narrowing her eyes at the strange man.

”I know Glynda, we were just discussing his place in this world. Could you please release our guest?” Glynda then lowered her riding crop, and stopped holding Steve in place. Steve then nodded in respect.

”I understand why you did that, I'm a stranger in these new lands.” Steve finished, followed by a nod from an understanding Glynda.

”I am wondering Headmaster, if those four mountains next to the school are for sale? As I would love to construct my home base there.” Steve asked in a curious tone. Glynda's eyes got wide and started laughing.

Headmaster Ozpin contemplated the situation. While Beacon was a fairly wealthy institution, it could use some more funding. It owned much of the land in the surrounding area, and the large mountains next to the institution remained untouched for centuries.

”What's your offer?” Headmaster Ozpin asked in a curious tone. Glynda noticed the headmaster got serious for a second wondering why Ozpin was contemplating selling Beacon's land.

Steve put his hand to his chin, putting on a thinking face. He then got up, and walked into the middle of the room. He jumped up, placing a golden cube down after each jump, four to be precise. Ozpin and Glynda's mouths dropped open in absolute surprise, none of them expected that.

Glynda was the first to respond while Ozpin took a sip of his coffee. ”Is that... four cubic meters of gold?!” Glynda yelled out in absolute shock. Gold was one of the rarest materials on Remnant, since many miners focused on finding dust rather than metals and other raw materials.

”Yes,” Steve said as he jumped down from the four golden cubes stacked in the center of the room. ”I can assure you it's solid gold as well.” He said as he sat down. ”I would offer you emeralds...” He said as he pulled out a green crystal the size of a large tangerine from who knows where. Glynda's mouth dropped in awe, yet another rare material just so casually offered in this deal. Emerald's are even rarer than gold fragments and ingots. The amount of wealth being displayed here could fund beacon for the next century! ”But from what I understand, no one wanted to trade any emeralds for a map...” He said, looking down in slight disappointment.

'HE TRIED TRADING THAT FOR A MAP?!' Ozpin and Glynda both thought at the same time.

Steve then put on this best thinker impression. ”Tell you guys what, I'll give you five cubes of gold, five emeralds, and I'll supply your institution with any excess food I make while setting up my home base.” He then contemplated again... and snapped his fingers in realization. ”AND I'll give you two percent of select resources that I dig up in the mountains.” He finished.

Ozpin and Glynda both looked at each other in shock, ”Well Glynda, could you draw up some paperwork for me. This sounds like a good deal Steve.” Ozpin finished, getting up and shaking Steve's hand. Overall it was a good deal for both parties, as that area is slightly undefended, and with the slight possibility of resources being found to Beacon's coffers.

Once the paperwork was drawn up the and the area of the land debated. The four mountains were quite enormous, but utterly useless. The area Steve now owned was about half the size of the city of Vale. Steve pulled out five emeralds, the smallest one being the size of an apple. Another gold block was placed in front of the other four out in the office.

”Steve, I'm hoping I could ask you a favor, you're weapons, are they magic in nature?” Ozpin asked and Glynda's eyes then widened yet again.

”Yes, they're enchanted in specific ways, along with my diamond armor.”

'DIAMOND ARMOR?' Glynda thought, and then she all of a sudden remembered the crystalline armor when he was fighting Torchwick, her mind was absolutely overwhelmed and she suddenly fainted on the spot.

Steve and Ozpin both looked at Glynda, and decided to put a pillow under her head while they were still talking.

”Would you mind enchanting some student's weapons for me if they ask?” Ozpin asked, hoping to strike a new deal with the mysterious stranger.

”I don't see how that will be to much of a problem, however I need to start fishing and farming monsters before I can start helping them.”

Ozpin gave him a deadpan stare, ”Okay then.” Ozpin almost refused to react anymore at the strange actions of Steve.

”Thank you again Ozpin, I'm going to start construction tonight, hopefully get a head start.”

Ozpin chuckled, ”Good luck, hopefully you'll finish your house in a couple of months!” He said as Steve approached the elevator, a fascinating device he hasn't been able to replicate.

”What is it with people in this world and their slow construction methods?” He mumbled under his breath, Ozpin just raised a curious eyebrow.

Steve walked off the elevator and through the area and spotted a training room, where familiar faces were getting acquainted with each other, both Team JNPR and Team RWBY turned toward him.

As soon as Ruby saw Steve enter she rushed up to him, ”SoyournameisSteve?Howdidyoudoallthosethings?CanIseeyourweapons?Whatareyoudoinghere?” She asked in rapid fire succession.

Steve looked at her in slight disbelief, secretly wondering how one can talk so fast. ”Well, my name is Steve, all those things are normal where I come from. Here is my enchanted diamond sword,” He pulled it out of nowhere, and both Teams JNPR and RWBY widened in disbelief at the crystalline sword. 'DID HE SAY ENCHANTED?' Yang and Blake yelled in their heads. ”and I just bought land from the school where I can start building my home.” Steve answered back, using only one sentence for each answer.

”What do you mean enchanted? Everyone knows magic isn't real.” Weiss Schnee answered arrogantly, the rest of the group looked at Steve questioningly.

”Well, if you don't believe me that's fine I guess, but that's how I took out the Nevermore, with my enchanted bow.” He says as he pulled a simple, but glowing bow. Ruby was rushing around Steve observing both weapons, with stars in her eyes. ”Can you enchant my weapon?” She asked as Steve looked at the giant weapon.

”Is that a hoe?” He asked, and rest of the group started laughing while Ruby pouted.

”It's not a hoe! It's a scythe mixed with a sniper rifle!” Slightly mad tone of voice as someone insulted her baby.

”You bought land from the Headmaster and the school?” Asked Ren in a calm voice, holding his emotions back.

”Yeah, bought the four mountains right next to the school. Ozpin was surprised at my offer, but quite happy with the deal. I'm going there now to start construction.” he said, and Yang, along with Blake's eyes bulged out, as they were the only two that could realize the extent of work Steve could carry out in such a short time.

”Well I'm off to start construction!” Steve said as he turned around, ”I'll see you guys soon and give you another tour!” Blake and Yang smiled and waved back awkwardly.

As Steve walked away, Yang and Blake quickly got the attention of the rest of the group.

”Guys, Steve is insane, he bought the four mountains next to Beacon, I bet you what he'll build will be absolutely ridiculous.” Yang started trying to show her panic.

”I've never seen anything like it, but this concerns me as well.” Blake finished, everyone quite shocked at how much she is talking compared to previous encounters.

”I think I'm going to go to bed, and see if this was still a dream. Good night everyone!” Yang started and walked back to her room.

”I think we should do the same guys, after all it is getting late before our first day of classes.” Jaune said, Ren and Nora nodded in agreement, and with that everyone went back to the dorm, wondering what the next few weeks held.

-Two weeks later-

”What do you mean you see a minecart coming out of the ground?” Ozpin asked in disbelief. A group of professors consisting of Professors Port, Dr. Oobleck, and Goodwitch. Followed the headmaster, where a bunch of students were looking at the scene with widened eyes. Sometime in the night, someone built two tracks, with two large blocks at the end of each track with a button at the top. A red line was found on the track. The tracks went for at least fifty meters across the newly flattened terrain near the mess hall. There were about forty carts, all filled to the brim with wheat, sugar, and meats. There were ten carts at the front of the train covered by a cloth. Professor Port went up to these ten carts and his eyes widened considerably. For inside these carts were hundreds of ingots of iron, and about two dozen ingots of gold. These were found in about nine of the carts. He quickly lowered the cloth and looked at Professor Ozpin with widened eyes. Glynda raised the cloth for the other one, and she, yet again, fainted, along with Professor Port when he took a look at what was inside. Ozpin raised the cloth and found it was nearly filled to the brim several uncut diamonds and emeralds, each the size of a pear. He also found a book in this cart, so he opened it up.

Dear Ozpin,

I hope you're doing well, as to our agreement you'll find that I've shared the excess food that I have grown over the last two weeks. I hope that Beacon can put it to good use. Also with our deal, you'll find two percent of the raw materials that we agreed upon. Unfortunately some of it had to be used up to build this cart system, but I think you'll be pleased with the results. If you give me another four weeks I would be happy to give you and some of the other staff a tour of the facilities. Also, please extend an invitation to Teams RWBY and JNPR, as they are really the few people I know that are my age... If you need anything write a note and place it in the other minecart and I will get it. Shipments like this should be coming in approximately every two weeks. My mining progress is going well, I've cleared out a little less than half of the first mountain. When you're done unloading the train of minecarts, make sure to push the button on the rock, and it will send the carts back to my storage depot.

Best Regards,

Steve

P.S. I know the large bridge is the only superficial structure at the moment, but soon that will soon change.

'What in the hell have I unleashed upon this world?' Ozpin asked to himself, as he gently woke Glynda and she used her telekinesis to move all the food to the kitchens, while moving the ten carts with valuable resources in the vault beneath Beacon, placed alongside the other resources that Steve provided in the earlier trade agreement.

When they were finished unloading the carts, Dr. Oobleck pushed the button, watching the minecarts taking off with radical speed down into the tunnel in which they came from. ”Fascinating!” He heard Bart mumble under his breath, as he was observing the track.

Glynda then said something that shocked me to my core. ”Wait... that was 2% of what he collected?!”

Ozpin turned to the mountain and was about to faint himself, but he steeled himself and sipped his coffee, happy about the changes that were to come out of this newly fledged deal.

Next time on Minecraft Remnant:

”What are you doing in Forever Fall Steve?”

”And here is a room filled with a resource that I have found useless thus far!”

”What do you mean you're going to the moon?!”
