Chapter 1: It's Time...
A/N: So this is my first ever RWBY Fanfic, I'm excited to see the way this plays out. If you are wondering what this story is about because of the vague title... well I kinda thought that would be an obvious joke, but you'll find out soon enough. I don't own RWBY or Dragon Ball, Z, Super, or GT.
It's been a few days after the events of fighting the Nuckelavee that haunted Ren and Nora's past, and Team RNJR's arrival to Mistral. Qrow is back to his ol' drunken-self again, Ruby is still writing letters back to her father and sister, who she doesn't know is pursuing her. But let us look in on our favorite couple, Ren and Nora, who seem to be heading down a long winding path.
"Nora... what exactly are we doing again?", Ren ask. He seemed to be pretty confused, as if he was pulled out of bed just to go along with her.
"Silly Ren, we going to the pastry shop!", Nora energetic personality is showing full force even if it's morning with her huge smile. "I heard from the locals that there is GREAT place to get Doughnuts!"
'At least I don't have to continuously have to use our Lein supply to make pancakes' Ren thought, though he does enjoy cooking he knows that the same meal over and over again is draining in money and in taste. He sighs and follow the ginger girl through the town. After 14 minutes of walking in the crowded morning of Mistral, the two find themselves in front of the Pastry Shop called, "Fritter Space".
"Nora, are you positive that this is the place? You've mistaken many places before, and this looks like one of those situations again.", Ren said in his normal monotone voice.
"What? Pssh, nah this is totally the place!", she says as if she's been here before.
"Okay Nora if you say so."
"Onward!", the Ginger barges in as if it's a war zone, not like that's an uncommon thing for her, while Ren calmly makes his way inside. Inside the shop it seemed quaint and quiet, it was decorated in a warm autumn color with accents of gray. Though there some weird framed pictures on the walls, they all seemed to be filled with photos of different types of Doughnuts. " Wow this dude must really love his doughnuts!" Nora exclaimed in her normal energy which was very loud due to the very silent nature of the Pastry Shop.
"Nora, compose yourself.", Ren's tone still being monotone, he is smiling at his partner's antics for it is one of the many things he enjoys. "Now lets order those doughnuts, shall we?"
"YESSSS", Nora zooms next to him in comedic fashion as he walks up to the counter. When Ren looked up from the selection of Doughnuts he discovered of the weirdest things in this shop, even more than the pictures of said pastry in heart-shaped frames. Who stood before the two was apparently the baker, but from his appearance it looked more like he was a Huntsman. He wore a set of armor that was a washed-out purple with light gray under armor, which defined his muscles greatly. He also had burning red eyes and a stoic stare, paired with... purple skin and a weirdly shaped head? The couple was plenty confused, but Nora snapped of her's pretty quickly. "Hello sir, may we order the Cream-Filled Doughnuts and Chocolate ones too?!", she asked with merry excitement.
"It's Time To Make The Doughnuts...", suddenly the Baker has a fresh set of the doughnuts consisted of those that Nora had ordered. He hands them to the Ginger and goes back to working. Nora has a huge smile plastered on her face. On the other hand Ren is on edge and is wary of this "Baker" and his odd characteristics.
"Nora did you notice anything... off about the pastry chef?", Ren said when they had finally left the shop and were a ways away from the building.
"Wa?", Nora's voice was muffled by the amount of Doughnuts stuffed in her face.
"*sigh* Nevermind Nora, lets just get back to Jaune and Ruby to see what our next step should be."
"Owkay!", she exclaimed with her mouth still full of the pastry's mass.
They finally arrived at the hotel that they've been staying at, after 16 minutes of trying to get through the heavy crowds. As it turns out Jaune was just waking up when the two returned to the hotel. After doing his morning rituals, he headed down with the other member of RNJR to the breakfast hall to meet up with Ren, Nora, and Qrow who was out drinking since the crack of dawn.
The team sits at a table far away from the other ones to discuss their plans without the fear that one of Salem's Followers over hearing it. Qrow is the first to speak, " So kiddos what did you do today that was fun?~". It was clear that he was drunk outta his mind. Jaune glares at him, disgusted.
The Knight shakes off his emotions, "Now that we've got a lay of the land we should head to see Headmaster Lionheart, then that would be the deciding factor for what we do next."
"Yeah that sounds like a good idea Jaune, let's meet out front in 10 minutes so all of us can ready supplies.", said Ruby. The leader of Team RNJR had been through a lot in the time since she's left the safety of her home in Patch, it's a wonder how she's still sane. The White Knight nods and continues to plan out what to do when they finally meet Headmaster Lionheart, but his thoughts are interrupted by Ren.
"Jaune, can I speak to you about something?", Ren has a serious look that he normally doesn't show.
"Uhh sure Ren." Jaune is puzzled but looks to the others, "You guys can go ahead and set up without us for a good minute." The girls, plus Qrow, agree and head for their rooms. "What's wrong Ren, you normally don't talk to me one on one?"
"I think Nora and I encountered another Salem Follower here.", Ren stated.
"Wait... WHAT? They're here too?!", the sense of calm that Jaune felt here suddenly left and is now replaced with panic. "What are we going to do?!"
"First off, you need to calm down...", Ren places a hand on Jaune's shoulder, "...also you're causing a scene so let's talk when we get back to the rooms." As Ren had mentioned all of the people in the cafeteria were staring at them with annoyance or surprise at the sudden outburst.
"Yeah, yeah that seems like a good idea", Jaune said meekly with embarrassment. Ren nods and heads back to the rooms with Jaune.
When the two enter the room they see that Nora is staring out the window. They check to see what she's staring at and are shocked at what they see. From what they can are parts the lower district of Mistral caught on fire or obliterated.
"What the heck! We need to get over there now!", Jaune screams as he and the other rush out to assist the people who might be in danger. When the three arrive they can see the full extent of the damage that had been done to the Lower District, there were groups of buildings aflame. Some buildings were torn in half or completely obliterated, and what seemed like 30 to 40 people laid dead in various states. Jaune had to look away, because of his weak stomach getting queasy from the horrid scene. Shortly after their arrival, Ruby and Qrow show up too.
"Whoa, this is a pretty depressing site.", Qrow states.
"God, who could such a thing?", Jaune inquired with hints of sadness
"It has to be one of Salem's Freaks, they normally take joy in doing this kind of stuff.", Qrow answered while looking at one of the mauled bodies. "But, I've never seen this before...", the body he is looking at is in perfect condition. It's like the body was never touched, no burns, no bludgeon marks and certainly no bullet holes. "Unless this is a new pawn in Salem's game, then this isn't one of her freaks." This causes Jaune to raise an eyebrow.
"How would you know?", questioned Jaune.
"Kid, I've investigated these sorts of things a lot more than you have."
"*sigh* Fine, but do you know what could have caused this?"
"No weapon I've ever seen has ever done this, so it might be their semblance that caused all this damage.", The Drunk was inspecting every inch of the scene, but found nothing. The only thing he found interesting was the target of this said attack. "That's weird..."
"What do you mean Uncle Qrow, did you find something?", asked Ruby.
"Well for what it's worth, the people targeted were a local group of thugs. Nothing big like the White Fang, but still intimidating to these poor residents.", stated Qrow. Though, little did they know, that they were being watched from afar. The "Baker" was standing on top of a building a few hundred feet from the group, he was analyzing everyone. This "Baker" was the being known as the Master Assassin Hit. His cold glare stares at the two he's previously met, Ren and Nora. He is not intrigued with of either their power, he was more impressed with the Blonde and the Silver-eyed girl. He could sense their power was fair greater than most inhabitants of this planet. He scoffs, they were still not even a quarter of his power. Ever since Hit's first actual fight with Son Goku, he has been taking more assassination jobs to find powerful opponents that would help him train for the Tournament of Power, but he's had no such luck.
He float off the building's roof and heads back to his shop. He lands in front of his shop. He enter the building and heads for the back, where there is a holographic screen illuminating a room. He plops into a chair and stares at the scene. The scene is showing some sort of hiring system. Hit taps around until he finds the job he completed. He finds the 12,000 Lien rewarding job and taps the redeem button.
"Finally, so I can move on to my next jo-", the Assassin catches his eye on a new hit that was posted for 35,000,000 Lien, which is a lot on Remnant and when converted to other currencies in the Universe. If anything could beat Hit's desire to battle Goku at full power, it would be Hit's desire for money. The Master Assassin takes the job and heads out to find his bounty, which is on the Island of Menagerie. When Hit was researching about the Planet Remnant he came across the history of the Faunus and the Great War. In his eyes the problem was petty, but at the same time he knew that he never lived in these conditions. He also read up on the planet's culture of color names, so to keep cover he uses the pseudonym of Kan. Hit lands after a few minutes in the forest outside of the main village. Though Hit sticks out like a sore thumb, he uses the cover of being a Faunus as the reason for his abnormalities. Luckily for him, he is in a Faunus infested island so they wouldn't mind him being around. "Hmph, Ghira Belladonna... sounds like someone important..."
Well that was the first chapter you guys, hope you enjoyed it. This is the Second story where Hit is involved as far I know of so feedback would be great. Okay see you in the next chapter!
