A/N: Azeroth: Yep, Nyaruko is obsessed with Warcraft and RWBY.
These, apparently, are two of his own avatars.
...
The Emerald Forest
Ruby Rose, Huntress-In-Training, ran.
Her mind went back and forth, trying to figure out who a good partner might be.
She just hoped... She skidded to a halt.
The one person she had wanted to avoid: Weiss Schnee.
The two looked at each other for a long moment.
Weiss made to walk off.
A massive, green, circular thing appeared in the sky.
Two objects fell out of it.
One of them glowed green, and seemed to speed up.
Ruby and Weiss watched as the thing disappeared as soon as it came.
The two looked at each other, shrugged, and ran toward where the objects crashed.
...
Two craters, side by side, now dotted the Emerald Forest.
The first, and deeper, of the two was burning with emerald flames.
The second looked rather normal.
A woman, purple-skinned, green-haired, and marred with strange cyan tattoos, crawled out of the first crater.
She wore an odd assortment of clothes, gold, with moss seeming that seemed to be growing from the shoulders, accentuated with emerald bandages.
The woman's face was hidden behind a mask that looked like a demon, blindfolded, and screaming.
Emerald energy flowed from the mouth of the mask, as well as two smaller mouths on the tops of the shoulder pieces.
The woman's top covered the important bits, but not much else.
The most noticeable feature of the woman, however, was her pointed ears.
And her horns, jutting out from the top of head, curling back down to her ears, then jutting straight forward.
The woman stood unsteadily.
She walked toward the second crater, limping slightly.
The woman lowered herself into the crater, and slid toward the center.
At the center was an unconscious woman, laying on her side.
Her hair, or rather, what little could be seen of it, was purple.
She wore plate armor, black, with emerald highlights.
Skulls seemed to be the main feature.
The headpiece was slitted in front.
This woman was much paler, and to both the trained and untrained eye, would look like a corpse.
The first woman pulled the second on to her back.
The first woman began to shake the second.
"Hello?" said a voice.
The first woman turned.
At the top of the crater were two young women. Once was red, the other was white. Humans.
The emerald-haired woman at the bottom of the crater waved for them to come down.
The two quickly slid down the slope.
"Might I ask who you are, miss?" said the white-haired girl suspiciously.
"She's a student, Weiss." said the red-haired one.
The Weiss turned to the red one. "Really, Ruby? Then why wasn't she at initiation?"
Ruby stuttered, trying to create an answer on the spot.
"Because I love making dramatic entrances."
Ruby and Weiss turned to the emerald-haired woman.
She had paused shaking the second woman, who was still unconscious.
"Because dramatic entrances are all the rage. If you can't do one, you aren't worth time, or effort. It's a sign of true power. Do you think my sister would wake up if I slapped her?"
The two stood still for a moment, looking at the woman.
"No." said Weiss flatly.
"Ye-e-es?" said Ruby hesitantly.
"Okay." The woman turned back to her sister, pulled off one of her gloves, and smacked her sister with it.
Ruby and Weiss both jumped.
The second woman groaned.
The first woman stood, and pulled the second to her feet.
Now they were standing, Ruby and Weiss realized that the second one had to be around eight feet tall.
The first one was, luckily, their height.
The first woman turned back to Ruby and Weiss, and held out her hand.
"Hello! My name is Malandish Starbreaker. This is my sister Anarariellea. It's very nice to meet you! Could you tell us where we are?"
...
Weiss knew these two Faunus weren't supposed to be here.
The first one, Malandish, was wearing gear that was very likely against the dress code.
The second one, Anarar... Whatever it was, was obviously not prepared if a fall like this could render her unconscious.
And Ruby, her... partner, actually believed that the two were students.
Ruby took Malandish's hand and they shook.
Malandish turned to Weiss, and held it out for her to shake.
Weiss took a moment, but she grudgingly took Malandish's hand.
Ruby offered her hand to Anarariellea.
Anarariellea looked at the proffered hand, but did not otherwise visibly respond.
Weiss chose to answer Malandish's question. "This is the Emerald Forest. In Vale."
Malandish cocked her head. "Vale?"
Weiss took a breath. What idiots had never heard of Vale? "Yes."
"Curiouser and curiouser." said Malandish.
Weiss' eyes narrowed. "What is?"
"Nothing." said Malandish, quickly. "What are you guys doing?"
"We're supposed to find some ruins, grab a relic, then head back to the starting point!" Said Ruby in one breath.
"Cool. Can we come with you?" Asked Malandish. "We're lost."
"Absolutely!" Said Ruby excitedly. She saw two new powerful friends!
Weiss saw a calamity in the making.
...
The four of them made their way to the ruins, led by Malandish's incredible sense of direction.
Ruby and Weiss told them a little about Grimm on the way.
Ruby's idea to ride a Nevermore had been vetoed by Malandish, Anarariellea and Weiss. Malandish had only voted against it because 'it wasn't the right time'.
There, they met up with several people, including a blonde woman who claimed to be Ruby's sister.
Then they had come under attack by a massive Nevermore, a large Deathstalker, and an army of Grimm.
Malandish had asked Ruby, moody teenager, Weiss, and Ruby's sister to take care of the Nevermore. And blonde swordsman, red hoplite, hammer, and Pandaren wannabe to take care of the Deathstalker.
After assigning roles, Malandish and Anarariellea had sprinted to meet the approaching Grimm army.
...
Jaune fell to his knees, exhausted. That battle had taken a load out of him.
They had taken the Deathstalker with quite some effort.
Jaune felt useless. It was mostly Pyrrha and Nora who had brought it down.
A loud yell, and several gunshots, drew his attention.
Ruby was running up the side of the cliff, the Nevermore hooked into her scythe.
As she reached the top, Ruby swung the scythe, beheading the Nevermore.
Jaune felt even worse.
He felt a cold wind blow against him, and saw snowflakes.
Snowflakes?
He turned to see the two Faunus.
His eyes widened in shock.
He heard the other initiates come up behind him.
He no longer thought as Malandish or Anarar... the one with skulls on her armor to be equal to any Hunter he had ever seen.
The first, Malandish, was wreathed in emerald flames that burnt everything around her.
Grimm, grass, the earth itself...
And the few Grimm that survived were sliced into pieces by... Were those warglaives?
Jaune had heard that the two most useless weapons a Hunter could choose were scythes and warglaives.
He now knew that whoever had told him that was an idiot.
And as for Skull-Armor girl...
She was the epicenter of a mini-blizzard, the winds so fast that most lesser Grimm around her were sliced to pieces by the snowflakes, now blades of death and destruction.
And any that survived being frozen, were sliced into pieces by two one-handed blades that she wielded with expertise.
Jaune made a mental note to ask her for sword training later.
As the eight students of Beacon watched Malandish and Anarariellea finish off the Grimm, another thought entered Jaune's mind.
Were any of them able to stand against... this?
...
"That was so much fun!" shouted Malandish.
As Malandish rejoined the human children, Anarariellea considered her options.
Before they had found themselves here, the two of them, and several others, had been in a fight that would shape the destiny of the universe.
They had challenged the Burning Legion.
They had found themselves at the Seat Of The Pantheon, a thought-mythical place, where the Titans were said to live.
It was true. And real.
There, they had fought Argus, the world-soul that, for all this time, had been empowering the demons to a ridiculous extent.
During the fight, Argus had sent a sphere of pure Chaos at the two of them.
Unfortunately, they weren't able to dodge in time.
The attack hurt like heck, but the real ability was apparently to send the two of them here. Wherever here was.
Anarariellea was grateful to still be undead, but she still wondered.
Did we win?
The two of them had done some decent damage, and Argus had gone into a more powerful state, but still...
First things first. The two needed to figure out how this world worked.
Malandish ran back to Anarariellea.
"Sis!" said Malandish in Thalassian. Anarariellea was immediately on guard. "We're being watched! I'm going to go back with them! Do you want to come?"
Anarariellea replied in Thalassian. "Yes."
Malandish nodded grinning.
Anarariellea looked around using her senses. She didn't feel any watching eyes on them, bar the human children, but...
Anarariellea trusted Malandish.
She didn't trust anyone who would send children to fight.
...
The 10 of them made their way to the extraction point.
Ozpin and Glynda Goodwitch, Headmaster, and assistant Headmistress of Beacon, respectively, watched the two mysterious Faunus closely through the drones that Glynda flew around the Emerald Forest.
They had appeared from a glowing sphere of energy in the sky, they wielded powers that were beyond normal Semblances...
Ozpin was nearly certain that these two were the Spring and Winter Maidens.
Glynda... Not so much.
"We have no idea how they even got here!" She hissed at him, staring at the monitors.
The one who had been identified as Malandish seemed filled with energy. She ran back and forth, staying near the students, learning about them, as they shared their stories.
The second one, Anarariellea... Was farther back. She seemed to be waiting for something to happen.
Glynda closed the connections, and turned to Ozpin, who had yet to respond.
"They may be maidens." Said Glynda, calming herself slightly. "But we weren't informed that they had been given to anyone else!"
Ozpin said nothing, sipping his coffee.
...
Malandish kept cool.
But you are worried, despite your facade.
Argus...
Had the forces of Azeroth won?
Or had the Legion?
Malandish didn't know.
Argus wouldn't be beaten so easily.
She pulled her mind from the abyss that those thoughts would pull her into.
But you will consider them another time.
Malandish came to rest, and took a deep breath.
She would have to near her best behavior if they were going to meet the headmaster of 'Beacon Academy', a Professor Ozpin.
Malandish envisioned an old man, maybe stooped over with age, but powerful.
The 'Bullhead' came into view.
Malandish was impressed. It looked like better tech than even the gnomes had access to.
It would make a good vehicle for the Legion.
She saw two people waiting for them.
One was a blonde woman, with a purple cape, and glasses. She held a riding crop, and something else. Malandish saw some type of energy flowing through the device. Not electricity, but... Was this the Dust that Ruby had mentioned?
Malandish could see the power of the blonde woman, and while it wasn't impressive, it was considerable.
The other one, though...
This must have been Ozpin.
The energy contained within him was impressive.
Malandish wondered whether he would beat her in a fight.
If you give in to the Legion, you would.
That answer could wait though.
They were here.
...
Ruby watched the two Faunus worriedly. She hoped that Ozpin would let them join Beacon.
Ruby allowed herself to feel some pride. She had done it! She had become a student at Beacon! More proof that she was awesome!
The ten of them stood before Professor's Ozpin and Goodwitch, Malandish and the other one standing a few paces behind.
Professor Goodwitch cleared her throat. Congratulations, students. Please take your seats aboard the Bullhead, " Glynda's eyes narrowed. "We take care of our unexpected guests."
Jaune, Nora, Pyrrha, Ren, Weiss, Blake, and Yang nodded. They boarded the Bullhead.
Ruby stayed behind.
Professor Goodwitch turned to Ruby. "That includes you Miss Rose."
Ruby stammered out "B-but what is going to happen to them?" She motioned to Malandish and Anarariellea. "They aren't going to get in trouble, right?"
Ozpin stepped forward. "Miss Rose, please get on the Bullhead. If these two get in trouble, it won't because of anything they've done so far."
Only slightly reassured, Ruby got on the Bullhead.
...
Anarariellea watched Ruby go.
It was strange that to receive trust that quickly, but Ruby obviously didn't know what she was.
She turned back to Ozpin.
"So. Who are you?" he asked.
Malandish laughed. "You've had eyes on us ever since we fell from the sky! You know our names, at least."
Ozpin inclined his head. "You must have impressive eyesight. The drones that we had following the students were far enough away, and small enough that they shouldn't have been able to see them."
"Obviously." Malandish agreed. "You want to observe them, and keep an eye out to see if anyone's cheating, first, then you want to make sure that they can cut it here."
Glynda looked surprised. Ozpin merely sipped his coffee, before replying. "You have some experience with teaching?"
Malandish nodded. "Some. But if I were the headmaster here," She walked to Ozpin, and put her mask in his face, "I wouldn't have children learning to fight. Or is the threat that your world faces that bad?" She finished, her voice becoming deeper, and allowing a trace of demonic to enter it.
Ozpin didn't back down. Anarariellea was impressed.
"Yes, the Grimm are that dangerous." He said, staring at the places where Malandish's eyes should be.
Malandish took a step back, her fists clenched. Anarariellea knew her sister well enough to know that she was seething. But she would follow her sister's lead.
If Malandish attacked Ozpin, Anarariellea would kill Glynda, then aid her sister in ending Ozpin.
And what fun it would be.
...
Malandish attempted to calm herself.
You won't calm down.
She spoke calmly. "What do you intend to do with us?"
Ozpin took a sip of his drink. "For now, you should come with us."
Malandish followed Ozpin onto the Bullhead, and strapped herself next to Ruby.
The red-head leaned over. "Are you two okay?" She asked with a hint of worry in her voice.
Malandish looked at Ruby. She could see the blood flowing through Ruby's heart, beating in a quick pace. Malandish also saw the contained energy in Ruby's silver eyes.
You want to eat it. Her essence would make us powerful.
"We're fine. We're going to discuss our situation with Ozpin back at Beacon."
You should kill him. He dares break the taboo of forcing children to fight? He should die for it.
Malandish leaned her head back, and tried to relax. She didn't take her mask off, though she saw Anarariellea take her helm off, allowing her long purple hair to spill down.
They will hate you once they know what you are.
Malandish began considering Ozpin's words, and the fact that he hadn't been lying when he had said that the Grimm were that dangerous.
They would make excellent pawns.
Malandish fell asleep.
...
A/N: And that's chapter one! Don't expect many chapters this long, though.
