Authors Note: This is my very first fanfiction within this website, but I'm also doing this in order to add a story to a Tumblr RP blog that I run by the name of lxttleyxllowdrxgon which has an AU called the Golden Dragon Verse, the events that happen within this story will be related to the Golden Dragon Verse. But I hope that you enjoy this story and I shall update whenever I can!
There will be no rest.
There will be no love.
There will be no hero in the end…
Who will rise above?
CHAPTER 1: The beginning of the battle...
The World of Remnant had seen times of Peace for so long, it's a wonder how something so prosperous could have been achieved…something so powerful, that's what peace is, it's a powerful thing, for there are no battles…no wars…no bloodshed in the name of someone else, just…peace. It's simplistic and for that reason alone…it's boring!
Long have the days been since Remnant has fought one another for the sake of a war, to battle for the right of their kingdom, to prove that they are the strongest! Well no more…I will not stand in place as these Grimm slowly tear us to shreds because of our own foolish peace, I will bring you a War like none have ever seen! I shall bring…
The War of the Fang!
It had been four years now since Ruby Rose joined Beacon Academy as an aspiring Huntress, the dream to fight monsters still burned deep inside of her and it became even more apparent as the years she spent at Beacon increased, breaking that social shell that she had built up around her to become a stronger team leader, not just for the sake of her sister, her friends and her mother, but for herself as well!
But now, the final year at Beacon was upon her, and Team RWBY was already considered to be one of the best teams of Huntresses that Beacon had ever seen, some old teams had come and gone and new ones were joining every time a new semester began, for Ruby however? It felt as if time was never truly going fast, she was living in the moment and loving every minute of it, especially with graduation coming upon both her and her team!...But first, she needed to make some preparations for the ceremony!
Quickly leaping up from her bed, Ruby took the time to put on her uniform, luckily without disturbing Weiss in the process, as well as clean her face and brush her teeth for the morning ahead, but with all that said and done she was quickly began to bring out a familiar whistle before blowing into it loudly, the rest of her team quickly being jolted from their restful slumber.
"Good morning!" Ruby cheered out, she seemed to be as chipper as ever…but of course her team-mates weren't exactly happy by being jolted awake by that oh so familiar whistle, but it was Weiss who was first to call Ruby out on it.
"You dunce, we can wake up on our own accord thank you very much!" Weiss exclaimed as she quickly threw aside her covered and stretched before getting up, Yang and Blake following soon after as they began to make their way over to prepare their uniforms for the day.
"Sorry Weiss, but I just couldn't let you guys sleep in, besides, graduation's tomorrow!" Ruby exclaimed, causing the rest of Team RWBY to quickly jolt to a halt…was it really that close to graduation?!
"Woah…To think it's already been four years since we joined Beacon; time really does fly doesn't it?" Yang stated as she cocked her hip slightly, her face embedded with a warm smile as she began to undress from her night clothes and put on her familiar uniform.
"Yeah, but at this point it's safe to assume that we've learned all we can from here." Blake stated whilst adjusting her bow, "We never really did have the time to think about how much more time we had here, did we?" She asked with a slightly quizzical look on her face as she also began to undress before slipping on her uniform.
"Well, I say that we have a little celebration courtesy of yours truly!" Ruby proudly proclaimed as she thrust her chest out and had her hands placed firmly on her hips, at this point her mind was thinking of a number of different plans that the team could do together, if anything she didn't exactly HAVE a plan…she just wanted to seem as if she had one, but good thing her team mates were already stating possible plans.
"Maybe we could eat at that noodle shack? Heard they got some good stuff this time of the year" Yang suggested with a proud smirk on her face, partially eyeing Blake seeing as they also served a familiar fish dish.
"I am not spending my last few evenings here at Beacon eating at a noodle shack, I say we go and prepare ourselves for the missions we may face as a team, possibly go out on a few higher levelled missions, it's wise to be ready for what's ahead of us" Weiss interjected as she slightly glared at Yang before looking back to Ruby, who seemed to be contemplating about either of those plans.
"Why don't we just have a party with Jaune and his team?" Blake stated amidst slipping on her shirt, Ruby then felt her eyes light up as she internally fist pumped the air,
"Blake that's perfect! A Party with Jaune, Pyrrha, Nora and Ren sounds great!" Ruby exclaimed as she let out a slight sigh of relief, good thing she didn't have to bail herself out on this one, thank Dust that Blake sometimes had the simplest of ideas.
"Maybe we could invite Sun and the other dorks?" Yang suggested as soon enough Weiss and Blake nodded together, Ruby then showing a slight grin as she then turned her back to the rest of her team and pointing at nothing in particular.
"Then it's settled! Team RWBY, Team JNPR and Team SSNN will be a part of the greatest pre-graduation party that Remnant has ever seen!" Ruby proclaimed before quickly rushing over to grab a notebook and some pens so she could jot down ideas.
"Maybe you should do the planning after we have our lessons sis, I mean we only got a few today so don't work yourself half to death over it" Yang exclaimed with a little bit of a smirk forming as she ruffled her sisters hair, looks like today was definitely going to be an interesting day for the girls.
Undisclosed White Fang Base
Unknown Location
Time: 8:15am
Many Faunus were busy moving around supply crates from the ground floor of the warehouse that they had claimed as their base, at this point it wasn't to supply Dust, that stage of the new leaders plan had already been fulfilled long ago, now they were supplying weapons and a lot of them! At this point it was crazy what they were about to do, but it was the only way to get their movement into everyone's minds and take back what they were owed!
"So uh, tell me why we're doing this again? What exactly does the boss want to do with these weapons?" A Brown haired male bull Faunus asked as he walked up beside what appeared to be a man in some sort of White Fang general uniform, a large mechanical melee weapon on his back as he sighed and turned around to the lower ranked White Fang member.
"Haven't I told you idiots already? We take these weapons and take them to the airships, they then take those weapons and supply them to our brothers down near Vale, once they're ready we'll all be shipped over and begin our little operation!" The Hooded White Fang member then quickly grabbed a crate of weapons effortlessly and shoved them into the Bull Faunus' hands, "Now go and get these weapons onto the ship, it takes off in about an hour!" He yelled as he pointed, the rest of the members in the warehouse quickly kicking into high gear.
However…amongst their ranks there was someone else, someone that wasn't all that he seemed to be…but for now he had to keep himself low, his body cloaked in White Fang garb but his eyes a-blaze with a fire for justice, he knew that this was nothing but a genocide mission that would kill hundreds in its wake, and he would soon find a way to stop it…somehow.
"Hey! You're one of those new guys aren'tcha!?" The cloaked White Fang Member bellowed, quickly perking up the man's attention as he began to make his way over, his hands concealed within his cloak.
"What's your name fellow brother?" The White Fang member stated as he prepared to shake the hand of this mysterious new member, "You can just call me…Horus" the man blankly stated as he brought out his hand which seemed to be covered in a gauntlet of some kind.
"Horus, huh? Well why don't you get to work like the rest of these sorry whelps!" The Cloaked Member yelled as the lesser members quickly began to work harder, Horus merely let out a small chuckle as he began to remove his mask, his yellow eyes gleaming in what little light there was shining through the warehouse windows.
"I must admit, whilst this mission to make us more recognized is one with the best of intent, this is nothing but a genocide mission that will take out hundreds of innocent lives within its wake. Do you not see the consequences of going through with this?" In a concerned tone Horus looked up at the taller and more muscular White Fang member, clearly there was some sudden tension within the room as the wind seemed to stop blowing for a split second…before Horus was quickly greeted by a large drill blade being slammed down near him, the ground cracking heavily as the eagle Faunus quickly dived to the side.
"You've got a lot of nerve trying to disrespect the boss' plans, I'll be sure to bring you to her in a hospital bed! I, Genghis! Will beat you to a bloody pulp! Now draw your weapon and fight!" Genghis then quickly revealed his beard and angered expression, Horus on the other hand showed a lightly grin as his metallic gloves quickly began to shift and form into a staff tipped with an oddly shaped spike.
"You're a fool to try and beat someone like me, I'll speak to the higher ups myself, and you needn't interfere!" Horus yelled as he pointed his staff at Genghis, quickly charging as the two locked weapons, a shockwave spreading throughout the warehouse as windows shattered…clearly this wasn't going to end well for anyone!
Beacon Academy
Vale, Remnant
Time: 8:30am
A Simple sip of his morning coffee and Ozpin was started with his day, being the headmaster of the prestigious Beacon Academy was definitely one filled with hard work, but on a day like today he had pushed all work aside to meet with someone, someone that supposedly knew of something terrible that was going to happen…A familiar face at that.
As the doors to Ozpin's office opened, a tall woman made her way inside, her face masked in the skull of a Nevermore, her blade within a mechanical sheath combined with Dust, her eyes crimson with malice for the headmaster…but Ozpin merely put his hands together and leaned forward before addressing this mysterious newcomer…
"Raven Branwen. It's been far too long since you've stepped foot in this place, what could the girl with the Nevermore's face possibly want back here?"
"War is coming Ozpin…and the Queen shall take the King"
To be continued…
'With Team RWBY now preparing for their graduation and the introduction of the mysterious Horus, what is going to happen to the White Fang and what are they planning, and what is Raven doing at Beacon Academy? Stay tuned for the second chapter of 'Rise of the Fang'
