*Linebreak Linebreak Linebreak*

Pain... dull pain, far from agonizing, its as if I had just woken up from nap after working out extremely hard the day before.

That is all I feel.

The aching pains lessen as I sit up, I bring a hand to my head.

What the-

I'm in a forest... in god knows where-

I remember a certain conversation I had before... it almost slipped my mind.

"Greetings mortal, you have been chosen for reincarnation!" A bright figure made of pure light appears before me.

"AAAAAHHHH!" I do the one thing that makes sense in this scenario... scream... I screamed a lot now that I think about it.

"Are you done?" The figure asks, sounding absolutely done with my panic. I mean, I had been doing it for a good thirty minute up to that point.

"Y-Yeah. I'm done... it's... just a lot to take in."

"I will make this swift, then, as a god I have better things to do."

"Rude... but probably true."

"I'll get right to the point. it is simple. you were unsatisfied with your life... thus you are going to be reincarnated. But, seeing as how it is quite boring doing the same thing over and over and over again, I will give you a chance... if you wish, you may reincarnate into a fictional world of your choosing, with a randomly selected ability. Your only job is to be entertaining as possible."

"So... become your court jester, then?" I slowly ask.

The figure shifts, its shoulders slumping, suddenly I am staring at a girl with short rainbow hair that is constantly shifting in color. "You make it sound so bad... but yes, that's practically it... centuries after centuries of paperwork really gets to a gal. I need something exciting to happen or I'll go mad!"

"Alright." I shrug.

"YOU'LL DO IT?!" The goddess shouts in surprise.

"I guess." I shrug.

"GREAT! C'mon select a universe! I'll put you in it and randomize you a power!"

I cup my chin, thinking of all the possible universes I could go to.

I come to a decision almost immediately.

"Rwby."

Then wham, bam, next thing I know, I am here.

I let out a long groan as shakily stand; I pat myself down, my clothes are baggy, I wear simple jeans, I have an unbuttoned white long sleeve shirt, revealing a toned chest and six pack abs.

I certainly didn't have these when I died...

I look around slowly and pat myself down, a single dagger is clipped to my hip, along with an old timey looking cassette player.

I have a few objects in my pocket, I reach down and pull out a folded note and a small silver square that serves as a pocket mirror.

I look at myself, revealing a completely foreign appearance, I have dark blue eyes, far darker than anything a normal human would be able to get- had this been a regular world and not an anime universe- I'd call them two pools of lapis, that's honestly what they sort of look like, next I have a light complexion, not quite 'tanned', but definitely not pale, next, my hair is dark, you might confuse it with black, but seeing as how it is tinted blue near the tips, it seems to be some form of extremely dark blue color.

I run a hand through my hair, it is silky and smooth, extremely soft to the touch.

I pull out the note and begin scanning the contents.

"Greetings! If you are reading this you have successfully been put in the world of Rwby! I never thought I'd make it this far!- heh JK! Anyways, I've rolled your power and you have got honestly a fairly boring one, so I decided to upgrade it quite a bit! Instead of regular portals, I pumped your power all the way up to eight hundred percent! Try not to die with it, alright! I also took the liberty of granting you a new body, I hope you enjoy it!

One more thing, as the story progresses, or you amuse me, I'll toss down some more portal-related powers to you! You'll get your next power upgrade at the start of Volume 1! As you are now, I've unlocked your aura and you can simply create portals around you, what you do with them is up to you, but I hope you are able to survive with a sort of bad power.

Now, I want to ask you something... could you please collect the relics? We really need to access that world in order to fix stuff those two fucking idiots messed up, when they left, they sealed that world away from the gods, it took considerable power from me to even put you in there, god forbid I actually try to legitimately fix something.

Don't worry about the relics summoning those two gods back to this world, the second the divine spark is fixed, I'll pop in and stop them from erasing you and to beat them up. They should have lost a majority of their strength, anyways, due to being so far from their followers. Those damned interns really mucked this planet up. Creating death beasts is one thing, but killing everyone due to you cursing a woman for like... fun? That's a godly no-no.

And to make it even better for you, if you do that I'll hit you up with a portal upgrade to shunt yourself in between your own personal multiverse of animes, tv shows, and books!

OH! I almost forgot! I gave you a Cassette player that is legitimately unbreakable and it has been 'marked' by your powers... so should it ever get stolen you can just focus on it and open a portal right to it. You'd be hard-pressed to find a god that can break it. I just did this to make your little journey a little more enjoyable. It has all the world's greatest hits! Plus some songs I thought you'd might like! Bye!"

A deity that speaks like a teenage girl.

Hm.

I roll my eyes and slowly button up my shirt.

Well, she's been good to me so far.

She has also imprinted what it feels like to be in a fight on this body.

I hold up a finger and create a portal the size of my fingertip.

"Hm." I nonchalantly hum as I pick up a stick and poke it through.

I flick the stick back and forth, creating loud thunking noises.

"Shame. No easy bisection via portal... honestly, I prefer it this way... now I don't have to worry about slicing my arm off due to walking too close to the edge."

Portals are 'sort of bad powers'? Ugh. Gods have no imagination, then.

A head sized opening appears in front of my face, I see miles upon miles of land below, the point of view changes as the portal rotates.

"Hm... I need to make it higher... I can't see any nearby towns."

The portal snaps shut and reopens a moment later.

Man, this is wild... I just summoned that portal legitimately a mile above me and I don't even feel slight strain.

I look around with the portal once more.

"Ooh! Large red zone! That must be forever fall! Which means I'm close to Vale!"

I shut the portal and turn, slowly walking in the direction I saw.

If I follow the edge of forever fall, I should be able to make it to Vale in no time.

I reach into my pocket and pull out a wallet.

I slowly nod down at the couple thousand lien within, along with an ID card, plus a small note that says:

"Getting a new ID is easy in Remnant, they practically give them out like candy at city entrances due to all the small villages out in the wilds, this just makes it so you won't have to sit through customs. You are the sole survivor of a small little village called 'Theurge', remember that name, well! You were far too young to remember that place when it fell, similar to Ren, your aura was unlocked, your semblance was a recently formed hereditary one that nobody knew about, the action of your village being slaughtered triggered your semblance to activate and in your last act of weak two year old consciousness opened a portal miles away and fell into it before falling unconscious. You were found by a traveler and raised in a nearby village, at which point you set off on your own at the age of eleven, and not a moment too soon as that village is overrun with grimm not even a week after you had left."

There is a picture of my new body staring blankly at the camera with a half-lidded expression.

"Ugh." I frown at the date of birth.

Teal Indie
Date of Birth: 6/17/+64
Residence: Theurge.
Eye Color: Blue
Hair Color: Blackish blue
Height: 5'9
Aura: Yes

I let out sigh and slip the card back into the wallet.

The final part means sixty four years after the great war... and judging from my body I am around sixteen. Which means that this year Canon will start.

"Well. Canon is either happening as soon as I get to Vale or in a year."

"Let's see what's on the cassette player, then."

I press the play button.

"Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga"

"Oh fuuuuck yeah." I grin down at the slowly spinning wheels.

I fold my hands behind my head and grin as I slowly and lazily walk forwards.

"I can't stop this feeling~" I sing along with the tape. "Deep inside of me~"

"Girl you just don't realize... what you do to mee~"

*Linebreak Linebreak Linebreak*

My head bobs side to side as Mr. Blue Sky blasts from the tape recorder.

I duck under a clawed slash with a grin as I draw my knife.

There is a ripple in the air as I stab forwards.

My knife plunges deeply within the beowolves' chin despite the fact I was stabbing towards its lowers stomach.

Another rip in reality opens up as a beowolf alpha dives for my back.

He disappears into the rift and doesn't reappear as it slams shut.

I slash my blade across the next beowolf's neck, then hurl my knife.

It is eaten by a portal and sinks into the side of another beowolf's head.

I punch the air in front of me as another rip opens up in front of me, my hand pauses beside my blade as the beowolf begins to fall limp.

My fingers wraps around the handle of my knife and pulls back, my elbow smashes into the faceplate of another beowolf, cracking its bone mask and causing it to fall back as I whirl around and plunge the knife into its chest.

Another beowolf lunges for me, jaws open wide, but its head disappears into a portal and reappears slightly to the left, its teeth sinking into the throat of one of its allies.

I step up and stab upwards, jabbing my knife repeatedly in its chest.

The grimm falls limp as I whirl around and hurl my knife again, striking a final beowolf right between the eyes.

I slowly walk over and pick up my knife with a low hum and a pep in my step.

I turn and continue walking, to my right is a forest of red trees with grey trunks and red grass, and to my left is what you would expect from a normal forest, trees, rocks, leaves.

A falling beowolf smashes into the ground a short distance away, instantly poofing into a cloud of smoke on contact.

Good shit.

'I wonder how long it'll take me to get to Vale?'

*Linebreak Linebreak Linebreak*

"Ugh. I mean, honestly, sort of dick move, deity friend." I scoff into the air beside me as if I am talking to a person. "You put me in Rwby, yet only like weeks before canon... thus making it impossible to romance my number one mute waifu as she is currently trying to blow up the kingdom under the control of a crazy maiden bitch. Not cool."

I step through a portal, bypassing Vale's walls entirely.

"Now I am supposed to find from dust to dawn in this?! This city is the size of like an entire state. Literally!" I scoff as I stand atop a building. "The new York area is like five thousand square miles, yet this? This motherfucker looks like its well over fifty! This is such bullshit! How does anyone ever find anything here?!"

The sun begins drifting down slowly in the distance as I take another step through my portals, reappearing on another building.

"I mean, I guess its districted... you would probably have 'Industrial District', the 'Residential District', the 'Market District', a couple parks here and there." I lowly mutter as I open a portal and reach through, snagging a small pamphlet on the other side and pulling it back through, I quickly open it up into a full map.

I seem to be smack dab in the middle of the shopping district. I was right on the money with the names of the others, though. Missed out on the 'harbor' though...

There's also a lot of coiling highways around the entire city.

I guess when your city is the size of Alabama you would at the very least need vehicles so you can get across the city in a... reasonable... amount of time.

Nearly five hours to get across the city while traveling at sixty miles per hour is still fucking ridiculous, though.

"Tch. This still doesn't explain where the hell I am." I scoff as I fold up the map and stick it in my pocket.

I glance down at the street below to see an orange haired man in a bowler hat and a cane walking with about eight suited men strutting behind him, each holding a red machete in a hand.

People clear off the streets at the mere sight of them.

I glance down the street to see a brick building with the words 'From Dust to Dawn' written on it.

"hm." I lowly hum as I teleport to the front door and walk inside.

The bell rings as I see an old man look up from a newspaper, he seems to deem me not a threat and goes back to reading the newspaper as I step past.

I spy a certain red-cloaked girl standing in the corner reading magazines.

I slowly nod once and walk over, snagging a magazine about dust from the rack, causing the red haired girl to flinch at my sudden appearance.

As she looks back, I give a small wave and step back.

I open the magazine, the words within shimmer and reconfigure awkwardly.

"CONGRATULATIONS ON MAKING IT TO CANON!"

I blink slowly and rub my eyes.

"Hello! It's me! The all-powerful goddess that put you here! You managed to survive your journey to Vale, huh? That's cool. I promised you a power, and I'm going to give it to you! You have now gained the ability to 'create invisible shortcuts between any two points you can think of'.

Also, I heard your nagging complaints. Be interesting and we'll see if I can pull some strings.

Until next time!"

"Hm." I let out a low hum and close the magazine, I reopen it a moment later to reveal what it is SUPPOSED to say.

Dust.

I skim through the first page which is just a bunch of disclaimers.

It all condenses down to 'don't be a fucking idiot. This shit is volatile.'

I flip to the next page as the door opens with a small jingle.

'How the hell does this bullshit work?!'

I absentmindedly note the several men quickly walking around the store.

I scour the page with a bored expression.

"Oi! Brat!" I hear one of the goons growl. "Hands in the air!"

I silently flip to the next page.

"Do you have a deathwish or-" *Hrk-*

My hand lashes out, fingers wrapping around the man's throat as I lift him off the ground.

I continue skimming through the magazine as the man struggles.

"SHIT!" I hear one of the men shout.

I wordlessly toss him into the second thug, knocking them both flat on their asses and slowly turn to face them.

I close the magazine slowly as I turn around and place it on the shelf beside me.

I see another man step around the corner and draw a pistol and aims it at me.

"Really? You are using a pistol in a dust shop? I'm not sure if you are just stupid or if you're suicidal."

A cane whirls around the corner and smashes into the back of the guy's head, knocking him flat in a single move. "Hate to say it, but the brats right."

Roman Torchwick slowly steps around the corner with a smug smirk. "Well, what can I do for you today?"

"You should keep your goons on tighter leashes. What sort of fucking idiots attack people dressed in blatant 'hey, this is a hunter' garb?" I deadpan with a half lidded stare.

I point to the side with my thumb.

"Are you robbing me?" I hear a small girl ask.

"YES!"

*CRACK*

The girl's boot smashes into his face, carrying him into the wall, he crashes with the sound of clattering cans as dust products fall all over him.

Roman glances back and lets out a quiet click of annoyance. "I may see your point."

"Like, she was just minding her own business. In her own world. You honestly could have robbed the place around her and she wouldn't have noticed."

"Yes, yes. My minions are inept. Your point being?"

I simply smirk and push a button on my Walkman.

The first three seconds of a song plays before I press it again. "No."

Roman blinks slowly.

"Too Edgy." I mutter after pressing it again, looking down at the device.

My soon to be foe takes a slow step backwards and cautiously.

"Also too edgy. When the hell did monster even get on my player anyways... it's not even a good song." I state as I push it a third time.

He makes it to the door and steps outside as Ruby begins savagely beating people around me.

The fourth song begins playing. I allow it to play for about ten seconds... "Nah. Not feeling this one right now."

I press it again then lowly hum at the song. "Metal bad apple? Hn. This'll do."

I take a single step forwards as Roman tenses.

Suddenly I am right in front of him fist cocked back.

His eyes widen as he is probably a little shaken by the fact that he didn't even see me move.

My hand smashes into his nose, carrying him away from me as I grin savagely.

I reappear behind him and grab the back of his head and smash his face into the pavement.

I lift him up slightly and with a punch to the ribs and a small ripple in the fabric of reality he is ragdolled down the street.

'mental note... I can move my portals after they are summoned.'

What I did right there was punch into a portal, then simultaneously move the input portal down my arm and the output portal closer to Roman, which in turn supercharged my punch and mayhaps broke a rib or two? Pfft. Nah. He has aura.

He shakily stands, brushing off his white suit with a low growl. "Alright... that is annoying."

Behind me a mook is kicked out of the window as a red cloaked girl uses his body to surf across the pavement for a good five feet.

*Thoomp*

Roman lifts his cane and points it at the store. "It appears we are at an impasse. I cannot defeat you in physical combat, yet I hold the ability to ignite that dust shop behind you like a powder keg. I walk. And this section of Vale survives. How does that sound?"

"I mean, it's a little bold to assume I don't have a way to counter your little cane there... but alright. I don't really want to risk fucking it up." I shrug.

He falters slightly. "Wait- you are going to let me go? Just like that?"

I push a button on my Walkman to end the song. "Eh. My heart wasn't in it. I also don't feel like scraping your corpse off the ground so, meh, what'll you do."

"This... isn't how these things normally work. You are supposed to be horrified and say something annoying like 'we'll never let you get away with this' or 'we'll stop you!'." The orange haired man shouts. "Stop being Indifferent!"

I let out a low click as my stomach growls, I turn, folding my arms behind me head as I begin to slowly walk away. "I wonder if any good restaurants are still open."

"…"

"You fiend! How dare you assault the innocent people of Vale!" Ruby shouts.

I glance to the side and give her a look that basically says 'are you fucking serious right now?'.

"There we go." Roman states.

"Well, Red, Blue, as much of a shame as it is to leave it like this, I suppose it is time to bid you all adieu" he states as he does a dramatic bow after removing his hat.

"You'll never get away with this!" Ruby shouts.

"Oh, but I already have." The man smirks as he shifts his grip on his can and swings it to the side. The crook at the end shoots off and up towards a nearby building, the cable attached to the hook promptly begins reeling in as he is carried off his feet and up onto the building.

Ruby chases after him.

"…"

"Hn." I lowly hum.

Should I?

Hm.

A decent question I suppose. On one hand, Ozpin will find me and probably offer me a spot at Beacon... on the other... I am really hungry and I don't feel like sitting around for possibly hours...

"hm." I lowly hum.

'it's probably better to get into Beacon now.'

I step forwards, suddenly appearing atop the building as Roman stands dramatically at the other edge of the roof, facing away from us, coat billowing dramatically behind him as he brings a hand up to his hat and tilts it downwards slightly, cane under his arm.

"Stop right there!" Ruby growls as she points dramatically at the thief.

I look back over my shoulder then look back and slip a hand behind my back, unknown to Roman a rip in reality forms and I grab a handgun and a red machete.

I allow the single edged blade to rest on my shoulders as I swap hands, leaving an extremely bulky red and black pistol in one hand and a red-bladed machete in the other.

Roman turns dramatically. "Well now... you both should have let me leave."

"I will stop you!" Ruby shouts as I open my mouth. "I have to! It's what a huntress would do!"

I close my mouth a moment later and let out a sigh, scratching my temple with the side of the gun barrel.

"But you see, Red, Blue, it is far too late for you to stop me!"

Ruby shifts her hold on her scythe, changing from one hand, allowing the tip to rest on the rooftop, to a two handed grip. "We will see about that!"

A large bullhead rises from the ground behind Roman, flashing us with extremely bright headlights.

I shut my eyes as it turns and allows Roman up inside, Ruby had dropped her scythe and is covering her eyes with her hands, stumbling about.

I toss the pistol aside for a moment as I can already tell what his next move is going to be.

"Here! Have a present!" Roman cackles as he tosses a large orange crystal down at us and aims his cane, I take a step forward, catching the crystal before it makes contact with the ground.

"Thanks." I smirk.

"…"

He silently bulls the trigger on his cane, shooting a large ball of fire at me.

I slash my blade in front of me as it nears, and with a simple flex of spacial fuckery the orb stops shooting at me and instead rockets sideways where it explodes on contact with the roof.

I point the blade at him with a smirk. "Your move."

A figure lands be hind me, causing me to blink slowly and glance back.

Ah. It's Glinda Goodwitch.

"Ah shit! Huntress!" Roman calls out.

A figure steps past the criminal as they swap seats, her top half is obscured by the darkness of the bullhead, all I can see is the bottom of a red dress, glass heels, and glowing eyes.

*Linebreak Linebreak Linebreak*

this is basically all i had written for the Portals and Pizzazz re-write. i don't know if i'll eventually come back to it, this story does seem a little more promising than the first iteration, as i have actually put a legitimate goal for Teal. anyways i hope you all enjoyed!
