I usually have an answer to this question...
But this time I'm gon be quiet...

The lyrics of the song rang through the young boys ears. Word after word touching his heart. The young boy, (YN) Rose sat in the shade under a tree. His thoughts drifting away into the song.

Ain't nothing like the feeling of uncertainty, the eeriness is silent,
This time it was so unexpected
Last time it was the drugs he was lacing...

(YN) remembered the messages of the artists that passed, the ones who inspired this song. (RIP X RIP LIL PEEP) He sat under the tree with a blade in his hand and his tear stained face bloody. The rain had started pouring making the blood run down his body much more easily. Stained with blood and marked with bruises, he looked to the heavens above.

YN:"Why must the world be cruel, must the only escape from this horrid reality to die?"

He looked down, and closed his eyes, darkness embracing him... death looming over his head. His hair covered his eyes, his lips dripping with blood, and his eyes void of life. The water ran down his face and down his cold arms. He could no longer feel them. He looked up and saw a girl about his age with green hair and piercing red eyes. With the last of his energy... he spoke.

YN:"It was..."

Emerald POV

This boy, who just slaughtered his way through a shit ton of Grimm just lay here in front of me. A sword lay next to him, and maybe... a corpse doesn't need a fancy sword do they? I might as well see good come from this. I crouched down and grabbed the sword by the hilt and yelped back.

Emerald:"AHHHH the fuck?!"

I looked at the sword to see that electric sparks were around it and other electric sparks were coming from the boys hand. So he's not dead... yet at least. Well I mean... he could be of use. No signs of a huntsman and certainly no remorse as he slaughtered Grimm. I pulled out my scroll and called Roman to pick me up and to bring people to help me of with this boy...

Wonder what he meant by it was...

YN POV

Gahhhh, what?

I opened my eyes to see a blurry image of... something. White lights and people were all I could make it. I feel the blood trickle down from my eyes I stare into the blur of what I assume is a ceiling. I hate these eyes. The blood caught the attention of those around me.

???:"Someone get the doc!'

???:"Got it!'

Metal clanging was all I heard, before I felt tissues and bandages cover my eyes. I reached out and felt a hand take mine.

???:"Don't worry, you'll be fine'

I gripped the hand harder, looking for comfort. Years out there and the comfort I find first is in a strangers hand. I felt a wet substance be poured upon the tissue before it was taken off me. My vision cleared up and I sat up to look around me.

YN:"Hell is more cleaner and less gory than I imagined"

I noticed how clean well kept the room I was sitting in looked.

???:"You're not dead"

YN:"Oh... a shame."

I leaned back and looked at the girl to my left. Green hair? Red eyes? How is she pulling that look off?

YN:"So... Miss..?"

Emerald:"Oh sorry, Emerald Sustrai"

I felt her hand move in mine, so gripping it tighter I introduced myself...

YN:" (YN) (LN), I don't suppose you've heard of me?"

Tightly gripping my hand, her hand felt tiny compared to mine. I mean sure I'm a guy, but hand was small... yet comfortable.

Emerald:"No I don't think so... I would remember someone who could slaughter enough Grimm for land to flood with blood"

Her voice... innocent but laced with... she's a criminal. Of course she is, first girl I meet and I can tell she's a criminal.

YN:"How long you been a criminal?"

Emerald:"A-How did yo-What???"

YN:"You heard me... how long was you a criminal for?"

Those eyes... staring right into my soul. I thought she was one of them just by pure appearance... but how she acted... she was human. She was just a plain human being... nothing noticeable aside from the mint hair and red eyes.

YN:"I know who I'm looking at when I see them. Criminal, Mafia Boss, PMC commander, I know a lot about people and how they act... especially when I don't feel my phone on me."

A thief I presume seeing as her shirt has my earphones dangling just out of the side. I hold out my other hand gesturing to my phone in her shirt, and she gives it back without looking at me. What I weird human she is. No other words we said after that. Silence filled the room as I remembered why I used (LN) and not Rose. Rose is a very deceptive name... as every Rose has thorns if you look carefully... and I want you to see my thorns... not the bloom of the Rose.

Without any noise to fill the void, awkwardness had established itself among the girl and I. Vale had weird people, things... "stuff". But where would you normally find a girl with mint green hair, red eyes, and barely any clothing on herself. I mean sure it's not a bad sight but, I wasn't raised to think with the head between my legs.

Emerald:"So... (YN)... ever killed anybody?"

YN:"Good icebreaker, totally a good question. Hey mister, y'all ever killed another person? What the actual fuck?"

Emerald:"I don't fucking know, you must have been to the dark side of Vale if you know I'm a criminal just from looking at me once."

YN:"A lot more than just the dark side of Vale... There's also the force."

Emerald:"What?"

YN:"Nothing."

The door creaked open to reveal a... very very short ice cream looking girl. And by short I mean like...normal booty jeans would be her normal jeans.

Emerald:"Hello Neo... here to check up on What's-his-name?"

YN:"Nah here to make sure you're green head ass don't get smoked up like a blunt."

Emerald:"The fuck you me-"

SSSZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Screams, slaps and a lot of vulgar language came from the room. Not to mention smoke coming from Emeralds ass when she left the room. Leaving the room, I knew that what I kept inside me was wanting to find a way the quench the thirst.

YN:"Must find Lamp."

As Neo and Emerald walked away, I knew that I had to find a way to scout my surroundings. No knowledge, no power. No power, no use. The building was... dull. Greys, dark bulletproof windows, corridors just for a few rooms and... oh it's a facility for weapons. Never mind I understand the dullness now.

From a few meters away, I spotted a woman in a red dress, a guy in grey, Faunus soldiers in grey... ok what the actual fuck, there's too much grey here. And some other dude in a white trench coat. I knew that an op this big meant big time criminals.

YN:"Where's my Chi-"

FFTANGGGGGGGGG

The blade narrowly missed my balls. A great way to be introduced. I reached down and pulled the sword out from between my legs and looked up to see the woman mentioned before looking at me. A smirk plastered on her face. Irritating me with that smirk, I decided to ignore it and simply...

Timeskip

YN:"Stay down... or the next slice opens your head."

My sword covered in my own blood kept the woman in red frozen in front of me. She was a formidable opponent. However, nature's animosity is much more than a humans power. Frozen, afraid and unwilling to challenge me she dropped her bow and surrendered.

I felt my eyes bleed and my temples start burning.

YN:"Find... lamps..."

Timeskip God Knows Where

A thousand different thoughts can be heard, all voices from the dream. I wake up and find myself in front of a familiar house with a familiar doll with a familiar wheely-boi.

YN:"Of all places, this was my favourite to end up."

I stand up and dust my pants and my coat. Dust falling off me as if I had been lying there for days.

Plain Doll:"Good Hunter... A problem has arisen from the old town."

YN:"What... sort of problem we talking here?"

Gehrman:"A young hunter, like yourself, is somehow giving into the bloodlust... yet isn't."

YN:"W-WHat, That shit made literally no sense."

Doll:"Here take a look."

The doll holds my hands as I close my eyes. I open them to see that I'm standing in Yharnam, but in a ghost-like form.

Doll:"He's behind you."

YN;"Creepy voice in my head stop stop STOP"

Doll:" It's me good hunter, the plain doll."

YN:"Oh... waifu be in my head... slightly better."

I turn and see a boy wearing the classic hunter garb and swinging his Saw Spear madly, singing and shouting. I feel like he isn't even from here, from this world I mean. He has irregular features like his right arm isn't covered but it seems like it's been infected by a beast or something, I think the best plan of action is to sit and watch him.

???:"Oh how lovely this slaughter is. With all the screams and shouts and begs if mercy, what must a devil do to see such sights."

Devil???

Plain Doll:"Good Hunter, what does he mean by devil?"

I simply shrugged at her whilst moving closer to the person. His Saw Spear went though me as he spun and laughed maniacally. His face was covered with his hood but I can see his eyes glowing orange. Strange...

As I move with him as he walks, slaughtering his was through the city, I notice how he doesn't bat an eye to them. He seems... distracted. He doesn't focus on the beasts he slay, instead he seems as if his mind is elsewhere. Beast after beast, hack and slash through the city, I follow behind him, noting his moves down. He's quite fond of overhead slashes.

???:"KABOOM!"

YN:"THE HELL IS THAT?!?"

He pulls out a massive cannon from God-knows-where and shoots it down a street, splattering blood all over the houses. Who is this?

Our little walk through the town ends as we come to a dead end. The gate is closed and the elevator is stuck. I look around and walk through some walls. Turns out under the Great Bridge, all the gates got locked after I left. I see him walk around back to the dog cages and down into the sewers where I follow silently with the Plain Doll here. Almost forget she was here with me.

Plain Doll:"What is his business here Good Hunter?"

YN:"I don't know but he's not from this world, I mean there must be more worlds as a world I woke up in long ago wasn't this one. I've been bound to the Hunters Dream since I was 4, and I've been to several different worlds. It's weird how it's somehow linked to the Dream."

Plain Doll:"But you spent 9 years in that one world, and never came back until now."

YN:"I never knew how, I was stripped of my gear and I couldn't feel the dream with me."

Plain Doll:"Odd."

???:"Dante... I found him..."

I turned my head back to the weird person and saw him crouch in the sewers, examining a body. His hand to his ear.

???:"Someone else got the job done...got it... I'm coming back."

I saw him look around before dropping his Saw Spear. He walked to me and stopped before he walked through me and looked... at me?

YN:"He can't see me can he?"

Plain Doll:"No, we're not really here, we are just spectating him."

???:"Hmmm... I can swear I fell someone around here watching me..."

He looks right through me and turns his head before walking away the opposite direction from me. He put on a pair of earphones, with music loud enough for me to hear...

All legends fall in the making
Sorry truth
Die young
Demon youth...

Hmm, he knows that song too. I soon see the town fade away as the Dream comes into view again.

Gehrman:"So what did you find about him?"

YN:"He isn't from here. He's from another world. He has a contact named Dante... and his arm is... malformed."

Gerhman:"Hmm it seems to be a weird situation as I only thought you could visit other worlds. You have been the only hunter who has been able to."

YN:"Why though? What's in it for me?"

Gerhman:"I don't know but you may return to the previous world."

I passed out in the Dream and awoke on a bed in an unknown room.

YN:"Huh... where am I?"

???:"Huhhhhh... wh-WHO ARE YOU?!"

I jump out of the bed and see a blonde woman put on her glasses and cover herself in the sheets.

???:"WHO ARE YOU?!"

I see a riding crop come into view plus some really weird floating symbols. And trust me. I ain't down to see what they are.

YN:"WHO ARE YOU?!? I JUST WOKE UP HERE!"

I pulled out my... where's my weapon?

I know I'm in no place to fight so I simply put my hands up and surrender.

YN:"Easy now... I just woke up here. I don't know where I am."

???:"LIAR!"

I saw a circle ring she conjured fly at me and push me back before I feel like I'm falling through space.

YN:"A portal... SWEET!"

I turn and free fall and add some flips as I'm falling. Lights and flashes of different colours pass me as I fal-

YN:"HMP-OUCH!"

???:"Uhhhh- What the cotton socks was that?"

I get up and see I've fallen on someone. I stand up and dust myself off before lending them a hand. They take my hand and hoist them self up before I see who I am face to face with.

YN:"Cayde?"

Cayde:"(YN)? Buddyyyy what you doing here? Haven't seen you in a long time."

YN:" I'm fine Cayde, just weird how I came back here. How's... the-"

Cayde:"Yeah I know, new place Big guy names... Gary? I dunno, some big guy attacked and your friend there and some other Guardians fought back against him"

He pointed towards an old friend I met when I came here a few years back. I was like... 12 and Cayde was the one who taught us what it's like to be Guardian.

YN:"Hey Marcus!"

I saw the Hunter look up and excuse himself from his fire team. He was one of the only people who knew about me jumping worlds. The other being Cayde.

Marcus:"Hey man long time no see. New gear I like I like. So what's up?"

YN:"Not much, just the same old same old."

Marcus:" How's the family, Ruby and Yang and them. Last time you told me you found a family to look after you in that world."

Oh them... a family is a word that is supposed to have love in it. Right? Them... I don't think they considered me a person, a slave rather. I came here when I was 12... before that I went to Remnant when I was 7. I spend several years looking for how I ended up there and came across a family who "took care of me". When I was 12, for my birthday they left me in the woods to 'train' me. I was attacked and woke up somewhere else. That's where I met Marcus, on Earth.

YN:"They're good... great in fact."

Annnnd I'm lying.

Marcus:"Youve been gone how long...4, 5 years."

YN:"Four. Been a long time."

I'm seventeen now, and with my skills only good back in Yharnam, I'm no use here on Earth or this world. My guns won't hurt anyone.

Cayde:"So... any loot?"

YN:"Always. Here take this..."

I pull out an old 44. Magnum I found, clean and fully loaded. I tossed it at Cayde who caught it and spun it around.

Cayde:"Damn, what a piece of art this is. Still not better than Ace though."

His pulled out hand cannon and spun it in his other hand. Two hand cannons in the hand of Cayde... I don't wanna see what he does with them.

YN:"Anyways, I have to go back, I'll see you guys around."

Marcus:"Okay, if you need us you can call on us. We'll find a way to get to you."

I doubt it but the gesture counts. I pull out my hunters mark and use it. A light enveloped me before I saw myself standing where I bled out before. My bloodstains are still all over the place and so is the Grimm bloodstains. I see my pistol on the floor and pick it up. Dirty... and rusted. I walk out of the forest trying to keep my head together. Why are the worlds linking together?

What's the reason I woke up... I should've died..? I wasn't bound to the Dream when I fought the Grimm... I made sure to bleed out enough before I passed out. Someone's interfering with the fate of all worlds...

AN:Well this will be a shit ton of writing. It's going to be a major crossover of many different worlds and I'm planning on making this a major series to include many different X Reader parts into, so that it can all seem connected so this was just the introduction. There will be more coming but I hope you enjoyed what little writing I put out. Sorry if it's not great or good, I'm just planning the rest out and seeing how this would go as this was supposed to be a pairing with Emerald first but I couldn't do it cos don't want to rush into the story of having a girlfriend yet but let it build up.
