Emerald Forrest
Rex slowly began to wake up and as he began to move, he felt his neck was a little stiff groaned as he began to open his eyes. He saw that it was Rex saw it was more brighter in his room than before. He then figured it was Six trying to wake him up so he groaned as he said
"Come on, Six. Let me sleep a little more" as he rolled onto his side but then he was poked by something pointy. That woke him up as he looked down and saw he had hit a little branch on a stump. He then realized that he wasn't in his bed but on the ground. He then looked to the sides on him and he saw several trees around him. He then came to the conclusion that he was in a forest. It wasn't the strangest place he woke up in. After all, the woke up in a doll house of the living dead and that was still the creepiest thing to happen to him. Well, one of many.
As he began to stand up, he began to recollect what had happened from last night.
He remembered that he was trundling slowly back to Providence after a night of stopping criminals. It had been almost a year since he saved the world from the Black Order and there hadn't been any Evos around but Providence still didn't disappear because of that.
He was wanting to get back to Providence because it was Meatloaf and Mash potatoes Friday and he couldn't wait. He was glad he was able to convince Providence that order every Wednesday. But then after he got there, he saw Bobo trying to eat all of the meatloaf so there would be none left for Rex.
The two eventually broke out in their typical tussle and fight and eventually, they wore each other out. Luckily, Six said he kept a plate of it to the side because he knew the monkey would pull something stupid like that. Holiday just laughed at the whole debacle.
Night fall came and Rex had gone back to his room, feeling stuffed after eating a lot of meatloaf. He collapsed on his bed and just went back to sleep. But then he woke up in a forest in the middle of who-knows-where and he hadn't the foggiest idea how he got there. He pondered at any possibilities then he thought of the most obvious one. Breach.
He then remembered how Van Kleiss got away into Breach's world so he wasn't sured when Rex had his God moment. He must've had her send him to some place away from Providence for another one of his schemes again. But then Rex remembered his communication piece and then pressed it as he said,
"Rex to Providence. Can you hear me." He waited for a response and got nothing but static. He tried again.
"Rex to Providence. Can you hear me" he said a little louder but just got static. Rex figured he was out of the range of communication and figured to get out of the forest and get a better signal.
He stood up and began to form his wings but before he could even build them up, he heard noises coming from the trees. He looked up and he swore he saw people flying by him.
"What the what" he thought as he also saw people jumping on the branches high in the trees and continued on. He raised his eyebrow in question as he thought
"Were those suppose to be Naruto cosplayers or what" as he continued to look round. But then he saw something that completely took him off guard. He looked up at the sky towards space and saw.... A broken moon.
The moon above him had completely disintegrated and bits and chunks of it were floating away. Rex's eyes stood wide open as he had so many questions. Just more to add to his pile. He then shook his head to ignore his question as he thought "Ok I do have questions but there's no one here to answer them so I'll just fly around until I find the nearest town and start my questions there" he thought as he donned his goggles was about to form his wings again until he heard sounds coming from above the trees and then he heard "LOOK OUT". But as he turned to the sound, something came crashing down and hit him hard and caused him to hit his head on a rock and passed out unconscious.
Timeskip
"Sir. Hello sir. Hey, are you ok" was all Rex heard as he began to wake up. He opened his eyes and groaned from the pain on his head. He opened his eyes and saw something was blocking the sunlight from him. It was a silhouette of a person. A girl from the sound of her voice. Rex opened his eyes and saw what looked like a young girl with black and red hair and silver eyes. She held out her hand as to help Rex up. He grabbed her hand and helped him up. He then got a better view of this girl. She was shorter than him. She was wearing a black suit with a skirt, a red cape, and black boots and holding a giant scythe.
Rex then said to the girl "Thanks." As he got up, he figured this would be the best time to figure out where he was.
"Say do you have any idea where we are". Hearing his question made the girl turn her head to him and raised her eyebrow as the girl looked at him like he was crazy and said,
"We're in the Emerald Forest. Near Beacon. Weren't you at the cliff. Are you feeling alright there, sir."
Rex replied saying "Yea but I've never heard of Emerald Forest." He then figured it must've been a secret part of a country he had never heard of or been in so he decided to ask "Ok, what country are we in."
The girl raised her eyebrow in question as she said "What do you mean."
"Come on, didn't they teach the places of the world. Didn't you ever watch Yako's nations of the World. Asia, Europe, Africa, America. Now I'm looking for America. North America specifically. Now where are we" he said in an annoyed manner as he needed information now and this girl was just playing ignorant with him and he didn't have time for that.
She gave him an expression that made her think he was crazy "Are you feeling alright sir. I don't know what places you've been to but the only place is Vale."
"Where the heck is Vale. I know I didn't go to school for long, but I don't remember there being a place called Vale" said Rex in a questioning voice.
"Well, the only place nearby is Vale. Then there's also Beacon Academy."
"I said Asia, Africa, South America, and North America. Now, I'm looking for the North part of America. Now where are we" said Rex in a more strict and annoyed manner.
"I'm sorry. I don't know what you're talking about. I've never heard of those places.Don't yell at me" said the girl as she coward in fear at his strict voice.
Rex felt bad about scaring her but then he began to think more on her reaction. She didn't seem to know the areas he mentioned. And that hit him as odd. How could she have not known what the countries of the world. That fact began to eat into his paranoia that he might not be where he was suppose to be. After all, the moon was broken and this girl says she's never heard of the countries he mentioned. It wasn't much to prove his theory but he was still paranoid that he might be in more trouble than he thought. He was still lost in thought until he remembered he wasn't alone He turned back towards the girl as he held out his hand to her and said
"Sorry to scare you. I'm just anxious to know where I am is all" as the girl looked up at him and gladly accepted his hand.
"Yea, I'm sorry too. I just haven't heard of those places you mentioned. I'm sorry." said the girl, feeling bad.
"Its fine. Why don't we start over. My names Rex. Pleasure to meet ya, kid" said Rex as he held out his hand, implying for her to shake his hand.
"Ruby" she said until she said "And I'm not a kid. I just haven't had my growth spurt yet" she said in a complaint voice.
Upon hearing that name, Rex then took notice at her attire and realized that a lot of her clothing had a ruby color to them and it was a little funny to him that her name was named the same as her attire, in a sense. He tried not to laugh as he didn't want her to think bad of him. He then began to think about what he should ask her next but became lost in thought until he was brought back to reality by Ruby waving her hand in his face
"Oh sorry. Didn't mean to space off. What did you say" he asked.
Ruby then asked "I said, so are you a part of the group gathering activity" she asked.
Rex raised his eyebrow in question as he said "What gathering activity."
Ruby then just chuckled slightly as his gesture and said "Oh come on. You know, the group gathering thing Ozpin wanted us to do."
Rex had no idea what this girl was talking about. He still began to think about how he had ended up in the forest after falling asleep, on a bed in a government based facility. He still had questions and he thought that this girl might be a big help to him but she still wasn't Abel to answer his questions so he internally thought that she might be a clueless child wondering around but then he remembered seeing other kids, flying through the sky and the trees so he began to think that maybe the girl was right about this being an activity. But for what, he thought?
He knew he needed more information. So he figured that since he didn't now where he was and what the girl was talking about, it might cause suspicion and the last he wanted to making more enemies or arousing suspicion. So he decided to play the only card he had.
"Truth be told, I don't know how I got here. All I remember is waking up in this forest then getting knocked out then woke up with you there."
"Oh I'm sorry about that. I was trying to land but you were standing in my line of landing and I hit you. I'm sorry" she said as she bowed rapidly showing her sorrow for landing on him.
Rex chuckled as he said "Its fine. But I'm still lost. Do you mind pointing the way for me" he asked.
Ruby could tell that he was serious about him not knowing where he was. If he didn't know where he was, of all places, then he definitely didn't know about where he was and he might have amnesia. She felt bad about just leaving him since she was on a schedule so she figured to bring him along with her and bring him to Ozpin. He might be able to help him.
"Why don't you come with me. I think there may be a guy to help you" as she grabbed his hand and began running into the forest. Rex figured it'd be best to follow her since she probably knew the terrain more than him.
"I hope she knows what she's doing. Since I don't know what I'm doing, I hide she knows the way. Here we go" he said as they began heading deeper into the forest.
And so it begins it.
