This story follows the actual Rwby timeline, but with my character in it. So there will be the fall of beacon and some others in the perspective of my character, but also some original events like this chapter. This chapter takes place a couple of weeks before the new students arrive at beacon.
ANGL: A New Beginning
An older man and a younger woman are walking next to each other through a hallway, The older man had grey hair on top of his head, glasses, and was walking with a cane in one hand and a coffee mug in the other. The older man looked over to the young woman as they continued to walk and began to speak.
"Are you sure you can handle this? This is not an easy mission, and especially for someone with your experience," said the older man in a concerned tone as he took a sip from his mug.
The younger woman looked back at the older gentleman. "I'll be fine, Ozpin. I promise," said the young huntress. Her burning amber eyes staring into the older man's. Her hand was lightly on his back trying to comfort him, and giving him a warm smile. As they reached the door the older man stopped as if something was wrong and the young girl did so as well, curious as to why the older gentleman had stopped.. The older man looked down into his mug as if he was trying to figure something out. He then raised the mug and took a sip from it. The coffee inside could be smelled a mile away, and it was still steaming. He then looked over to the younger girl beside him, and gave off an uncomfortable sigh.
"Alright , If you believe you can do this then I can't stop you, but be warned. There is a chance you may never come back. These kind of missions aren't easy and can be very dangerous," He informed the young huntress of the dangers of this mission.
"I know…." the young huntress said with her head down, and looking at the floor, or the headmasters feet. "But it's the chance i'm going to take," She said confidently, and looked back up with a warm smile. The huntsmen couldn't resist her smile, and all he could do was mustered up a smile of his own. They then pushed the door open which lead them to the outside world. The sky was blue, and there were a few clouds in the sky. Birds were chirping, and there was a slight breeze in the air. They looked at each other before the huntsman began to speak again.
"Nice day we have here," he said as he looked up into the sky, and feeling the breeze. It's been nice out the past few days here in Vale, but that could change in a moments past.
The young huntresses hair blew in the breeze a little bit and she kept her eyes on the headmaster. "Yeah," she said in some discomfort. The headmaster gave her a worried look on his face. She was being all comforting, and now she was getting all nervous.
"Is….everything alright? Not second guessing it now are you?" he asked.
"No...it's just that I'm a little worried of the unexpected..that's all," the amber eyed girl stated.
"It's a normal feeling to feel that...everyone fears the unexpected, but with being prepared it could drown it out a little bit, but it'll always be there," the headmaster trying to make her feel more calm.
"Thank you, Ozpin," She said with a deep breath.
"Come on now your airship is this way," He said Looking into the distance in front of them, and seeing the aircraft. He took another sip from his mug, and began to walk towards the airship. The younger huntress followed as if she was a lot puppy. The area was huge, and it felt like it was it's own little town. There were airships flying all about, and soldiers walking around doing their orders for the day. There were ships coming in and out of the landing pads, and some of them were carrying cargo from different regions. The new huntress was eager to start her career and to do her first mission by herself, but deep inside she could feel the nervousness and uncertainty. It didn't take long to reach the aircraft that was taking the young huntress. The huntsman took another sip from his mug, and stood there for a bit.
"Something wrong, Ozpin?" the young huntress asked. Seeing the huntsman blanking out.
"It's...nothing. I just don't want anything happening to you, that's all" the older huntsman said. He turned his head away from the huntress, seeming like he's trying to hold back tears and not wanting her to see. The huntress see's the struggling huntsman, and tears started to form around her eyes, but instantly wipes them away so she doesn't seem weak in front of everyone.
"I know, but we have to take chances in life to get somewhere," the young huntress told the headmaster. Telling him this to make him feel better, and that she does want to do this.
"I know….." Ozpin said. With his voice holding sorrow in it. Ozpin then turned his head back towards the young girl beside him, and thought for a moment.
"I wish you luck Ms.T-" The young huntress politely interrupted the older huntsman.
"Angel, you can call me Angel, Ozpin," the young huntress told the headmaster. He then gave a small smile before trying again.
"Hmm my apologies," The headmaster apologized. "Good luck, Angel," he said with a slight smile "I'll see you when you get back?" he curiously asked the huntress.
"Of course you will, and I'll tell you all about it," she told him. She then wrapped her arms around the huntsman giving him a hug.
"I can't wait," he said with a warm smile and couldn't help, but to hugged her back. The young huntress then disconnected from the headmaster. She then made her way towards the aircraft with a soldier standing in front of the open side of the aircraft, and waving the young huntress in. The aircraft was just a standard one. It was dark grey, and had it's wings which had their own engine, and it's tail. It has side doors on the sides of the aircraft which slided open or closed. It didn't look to roomy, but it'll get the job done. She slowly climbed through the open side of the aircraft, and looked back at Ozpin. The older huntsman had a smile on his face and nodded to her. She grew a smile on her face and then turned back into the aircraft. The soldier then climbed in with no ease, and closed the side door of the aircraft. Soon the ship started to slowly ascend into the air, and once it got high enough it took off into the sky. Ozpin watched as the ship took off, and watched until the aircraft could no longer be seen.
"Be safe….Angel," the head master softly said to himself. He then looked into his coffee mug before taking a sip from it. He then made his way back to the door in which they came in, and could only think about Angel.
The airship continued to ascend into the air, and gaining altitude. Once the Airship got to its cruising altitude the sides of the airship were then opened. The young huntress made her way to the side, and she then sat at the edge with her left foot dangling off and going back and forth. She could feel the breeze hit her face, and finally smell the fresh air again. It gets pretty hot, and musky in a small airship when everything is closed up.
Her jet black hair was flowing in the breeze, and had the right side of her head buzzed, She was able to feel the breeze coming into contact with her scalp. She left the top and left side long and it hangs over the left side of her head and comes down to her shoulder.
Music could be heard faintly from the cockpit of the ship, and sounded like hard rock. She began nodding to the music and tapping her right foot to the rhythm of the music. Music always calmed her whenever she was studying for a test at beacon, and it's kinda helping her now as well.
She had two long pieces of metal attached to her head that go from her temple to the back of her head on the buzzed side. The two pieces are parallel to each other, and one is on the upper side while the second was a couple of inches down from the top one. They also have lights attached to them. They were greyed out showing that it's not active right now.
She had her purple tank top like shirt on. The left sleeve was not there while she had a long sleeve for her right arm. She had a full sleeve tattoo on her left arm that was some kind of tribal tattoo, but she doesn't even know what it is. Ever since she unlocked her aura the tattoo suddenly appeared out of thin air onto her arm. When she was younger everyone thought that she got it on purpose.
She also has her black combat pants on with her favorite belt which was amber and she had her black combat boots on her feet which were steel toed, so every time she tapped her right foot it made a loud bangging noise.
She then reached into her pocket, and pulled out a picture. The picture held a woman, a man, and a young girl in it's image. The woman and the man were standing behind the little girl, and all three of them were smiling. The image always reminded her of her past, and of what happened. She held the picture in front of her face, and looked at each person.
The woman was her mother. She had black hair just like her and had light green eyes. She had a warm, loving smile in the picture and always had that smile outside of pictures, and it would always make her feel safe and calm. She had beautiful angelic wings that make her look like an angel from the heavens. Her mom was the best mom that anyone could have. She would always read bedtime stories for her every night, and even do so if she was very tired and drained, and would always answer her little kid questions, no matter how stupid. Whenever she felt down her mother would always be there to comfort her.
Next, the man in the picture was her father. He was her hero. He was nice, caring, strong, and loving, and he inspired her to become a huntress. He was a tall man with dirty blonde hair, and had those beautiful amber eyes. He also had a scruffy beard that her mom always hated and complained about it. He had those big brown wings that were bigger than usual. He would always make dad jokes, even if she wasn't in the mood for them.
Lastly, was the young girl in the picture which was her. She was about 10 years old and she was holding her favorite stuff dog that she would never let go of and would bring with her everywhere. She had her hair in a ponytail and had the biggest smile on her face. She had beautiful white wings that were almost bigger than her, and everyone thought she was a gift from the heavens.
She then looked at her metallic wings, and they are cold to the touch and felt empty. They were jet black with a grey vein design all over her wings. They looked like falcon wings, but are almost as big as actual angel wings. She didn't mind the fake wings, but they are a consisted reminder.
She always thought she would live a normal, happy life, but not everyone can live happily ever after. The picture had tear stains all over it and was a little warped and beat up from being so old. As she continued to look at the picture tears started to form around her eyes. She wiped them away, but couldn't wipe all of them. Little drops hit the picture, and were added to the collection of stains on the picture. She then held the picture close to her heart, and closed her eyes with tears still forming.
"...I won't let you down mom, and dad….I promise you that", she said while holding the picture against her chest.
She then brought the picture back to eyesight. Giving it one last look before putting it back slowly, and carefully into her pocket as if it was worth a million dollars. She then gave off a slight sigh in sadness.
They then passed over the kingdoms walls in the airship. As she looked from the side all she could see was darkness and despair. There were crumbling buildings, streets had cracks in them. There was dead grass everywhere, and there was not a single soul out there. As she kept looking all she could think about are all the lives that were taken from the grimm. She clenched her right hand into a fist hard.
"Damn those monsters, damn them all. All they do is destroy and for what? Destroying families, killing innocent people, and ruining the lives of others? It's sickening…"she whispered to herself, and Anger filling her eyes.
"ETA is 20 minutes ," one of the soldiers told her from the cockpit.
"Ok," the young huntress responded. She had hint of anger, and sadness in her words.
"You alright?" the soldier asked. Worriedness could be heard in his voice.
She took a few deep breaths, so she could try to calm herself down
"Yeah...it's….it's nothing," the young girl responded, calming down a bit.
"Alright….if you change your mind just tell us. It's alright to back out," said the soldier
She always hated people thinking she was weak. Anger started to build up inside of the huntress, but she took a couple more deep breaths before responding to the worried soldier.
"...it won't be necessary," she responded. She had her arms crossed, and her head down a little bit.
The soldier looked back, "ok," he responded, and looked back forward.
The air felt thick and musky, and the sky grew a little darker the farther they stray from the kingdom's walls. She pulled out her scroll to look at the mission's description again and it read.
"Search and Destroy: Nearby city outside of walls. Grimm need to be cleared out."
"Hmm….." she said with a small sigh "This is it, this is the dream….this is what I trained for, but….I can't wait to destroy those life takers," The young huntress whispered to herself, and threw in a little laugh.
She then put her scroll away and leaned against the wall of the airship with her leg still dangling and closed her eyes. It was quiet for the rest of the ride, and all that could be heard was the sound of the engine rumbling from the ship, and wind in the air. 15 minutes pass, and the airship then started to descend into an abandoned city. As the ship made contact with the ground the young huntress opened her eyes, and hopped off the side of the airship onto the ground. The one soldier walked to the edge of the ship and spoke towards the metal winged huntress,
"Are you sure you're going to be fine all alone?" he asked.
Her face started to get a little red and her blood boiled a bit.
"Yes," she answered hastily.
"Oh...ok," he said feeling a little bit uncomfortable. "If you need to be picked up earlier than usual just call us," He told the annoyed huntress.
"Will do," she said with her arms crossed. The soldier than threw her a backpack full of supplies in front of her that she'll need for next couple of days. The soldier then looked at her once more before closing the side door. She stood there and waited for the airship to leave. The aircraft's engines then started to roar as it started to ascend into the sky, and as soon as it reached the proper altitude it took off. She stood there watching the ship fly off while she was stuck in an abandoned city. The aircraft grew quieter, and quieter, and smaller, and smaller until it could no longer be seen or heard. She grabbed the backpack from the ground, and began to walk through the decaying city while mumbling,
"Are you sure you're gonna be ok by yourself? Ooo if you change your mind just tell us. It's alright to back out," she said mocking the souldier. "Pfft...screw them to think I'm a weakling," the young huntress began to start to rant. "They'll see, and I'll show them all. Just because I'm small doesn't mean I don't bite hard," she continued to ramble in annoyance She sighed, "Whatever, I should really focus on my task at hand. Operation kill all the monsters," She said with a slight smile, and continuing to walk around the wasteland city.
She walked for about 10 minutes without seeing a single grimm, and she sighed in disappointment and believing that there is nothing here.
"There's nothing even here," the furious huntress said. She started to kick rocks around as she walked in boredom. "Well…..at least this is gonna be the easiest couples of days of my life," she said as she continued to walk, and continued to kick the rocks around.
She looked around, and saw that most of the buildings were mostly destroyed which filled her with sorrow, yet also fueled her with anger. There are still a few intact or had enough structure left to them to be able to rest in. She thought what this city use to look like before the grimm. It was probably a busy one with a lot of cars, and people walking, but she'll never know. She started to make her way to the end of the street, and there was a building on the corner that was blocking her view from the corner. As she made her way to the corner a slight growl came from that direction. She then peeked her head around the building all, but to find a lone beowolf that was just wandering the wasteland.
"Finally, some action," the pumped huntress said. She then walked around the corner and walked slowly towards the grimm, and soon the grimm noticed her
"Hey there, I've been looking for you," she said confidently, and with a half smile.
The grimm roared, and then started to charge at her like a raging bull. She opened her wings, and the veins on the wings started to glow red and the light on the metal on her head glowed red as well. As the grimm drew closer she flapped her wings, and caused a barrage of small fire balls to get fired at the grimm. The grimm took the hits which only fazed him a little and stopping him for a bit. It then shook its head and continued to charge and then leaped into the air with its claws ready to slash. When she saw the grim leap into the air and ready to attack, so in retaliation she flew into the air towards the grimm with her wings spread out as if she was trying to glide like a real bird. When the two met she landed on the floor on her two feet unfazed, and the grimm was 10 feet behind her in two pieces. The sharp, metal like feathers on her prosthetic wings cut clean through the grimm as if it was a piece of paper. She then looked behind her at the mangled grimm which soon turned into dust, and the slight wind took it into the air.
"hmm...Too easy," with a slight smirk and cracking her knuckles. She heard even more growls around her, and as she looked around there were beowolfs everywhere. They were on top of buildings, in them and on the ground where she was. Looking at her as if she's their dinner.
"Uh….oh," she said. Uncertain, and horrified seeing that she is surrounded by the evil creatures. Her eyes widen and sweat started to form on her.
"I...I...I never seen so many grimm in one place," the horrified huntress said as she continued to look around. Soon all the beowolfs howled, and all charged at her at once. Her heart started pounding from all the adrenaline being pumped into her body. She clenched her fist so hard that her veins started bulge through her skin, and gritted her teeth before saying.
"Hmm...I won't let these beast get the best of me," she strangely said in a normal voice.
