A little project I decided to work on with LunaTheBlackWolf and her OC...Luna. Time for RWBY to meet the Lord of Chaos!
Hope you guys enjoy!
Luna Greyback had been through many things that baffled her, but suddenly finding herself in a large arena of some kind was not one of them. An audience of humans, Faunus, and other creatures that she'd never seen before were watching her from some seats high above and cheering loudly. Eyeing the area suspiciously, she drew out her Bow staff.
"...the f*** am I?"
Just then, a loud announcer voice was heard calling out.
"Ladies and gentlemen, fillies and gentlecolts, lifeforms big and small, welcome to the fight of your lives! The Chaotic Rumble Arena!"
The crowd cheered and applauded loudly, but depending on their species depended on how they accomplished this means. Needless to say, it was quite deafening. Luna narrowed her eyes in irrataion.
"Alright! Somebody better tell me what the f*** is going on here! Where am I?!" she yelled out, tightening her grip on Silver Moon.
"You are in a special arena built by the champion himself!" the announcer said over the microphone, "You have been brought here to test your skill, might, and power against the champion. You are not expected to win, for that is not necessarily the goal. But in the process, your skill will be tested and your might challenged! So, do you have anything you'd like to show us, or would you rather keep that a mystery?"
As the announcer spoke, a large screen appeared high above the crowd on either side of the arena, live broadcasting Luna down below. Still trying to process her current predicament, the she-wolf could only glance at her surroundings. She jumped suddenly when music began to play, and she found herself staring into her own startled gaze on a large screen above her head.
*howl*
Baby I'm preying on you tonight~
Hunt you down, eat you alive~
Just like animals, animals, like animals whoa~
Maybe you think that you can hide~
I can smell your scent for miles~
Just like animals, animals, like animals whoa~
Words began to appear as the music blared:
[Name: Luna Greyback
Species: Faunus, White Wolf
Age: 17
Home World: Remnant
Semblance: ?
Known Occupations: White Fang spy, Huntress-In-Training]
Choosing to ignore the growing sense of paranoia in her gut, the young wolf ultimately decided to just defeat whatever "champion" was here, and then find her way out of...wherever this arena was. It looked nothing like Amity Colosseum, so she knew she wasn't in Vale. This thought, of course, didn't settle her nerves. Instead of answering the voice over the loud speakers, Luna just silently got into a deep stance with her black bo-staff held in front of her, the Ice Dust tips fogging. With her tail swishing behind her, the Faunus made a "bring it" gesture with Silver Moon, her glowing blue eyes zeroed in on the large door across the arena. The crowd cheered, but then suddenly the arena lighting dimmed and new music played. This one sounded edgy, menacing even, and on the screen an explosion appeared, and another one appeared in the arena too. As the smoke cleared an 18 year old boy appeared. He had blue eyes, brown hair, and white skin. A mischievous look was in his eye and he seemed to be confident in winning. The screen started broadcasting achievements that the boy had accomplished, and a lot of them surprised Luna: taking on an army by himself, crushing "gods" like they were nothing, even destroying an entire galaxy. All with some kind of powerful magic. As these images played, the music began:
[Intro]
Yeah
Yo!
[Verse 1]
I'm the tallest of mountains
I am the roughest of waves
I'm the toughest of terrors
I am the darkest of days
I'm the last one that's standing
Don't try to stand in my way
Cause I've been up against better
Just take a look at my face
Cause if you're messing with me
I am a dangerous weapon
I am the sharpest of blades
I'll cut you down in a second
Cause I was born in this pain
It only hurts if you let it
So if you think you can take me
Then you should go and forget it
[Pre-Chorus]
And after all this time you're back for more
(I won't stop until they know my name)
So I'll take what's mine and start this war
(I'm coming at you like a tidal wave)
[Chorus]
When everything you know has come and gone
(You are at your lowest, I am rising higher)
Only scars remain of who I was
(What I find in the ashes, you lose in the fire)
When there's no one left to carry on
(This is an illusion, open up your eyes and...)
This pain persists, I can't resist
But that's what it takes to be infinite
[Bridge]
Yeah!
So look around you and tell me what you really see
I never end, that's the difference in you and me
Cause when your time is up and everything is falling down
It's only me and you, who is gonna save you now?
So look around you and tell me what you really see
You live a lie and that's the difference in you and me
I have the power, lemme show you what it's all about
It's only me and you, who is gonna save you now?
(Who is gonna save you now?)
*instrumental break*
I am the tallest of mountains and
Don't you ever forget it
If you step in the ring
Then you're gonna regret it
Yeah, 'cause if you're messing with me
Then you should know that it's over
I don't crumble for nothing
I got the world on my shoulders
[Pre-Chorus, followed by chorus and bridge, then ends]
The boy smirked at Luna and said, "Huh? Huh! Oh come on! You've gotta admit that was cool!"
Luna merely raised her brow. "Hmph, ego much?", she asked in a bored tone, her intense blue eyes focused on the new arrival.
The boy gave a laugh as the video board pulled up his own info:
[Name: The Terror of Dimensions, or TD
Species: Human
Age: (Earth) 18, (Beyond) Unknown
Home World: Earth
Powers: Chaos, Fire, Darkness, and Musical Mumb Jumbo
Known Occupations: Guardian of Existence, Villainy, (recently) Family man]
Brushing her silver bangs outta her face, Luna scoffed at the info displayed.
"'Terror of Dimensions'? Was your mother that original of a person, or did you pick that yourself?"
Deciding to quit the small talk, she returned to the matter at hand.
"So, you have any idea what the h*** is going on here? Dude over the intercom said something about fighting this 'champion' as a means to test our skills. Know anything about that?"
"Of course," TD replied with smirk, "After all, I'm the one who organized it. As for the champion...you're looking at him, Doll Face."
He placed his hands behind his head as he let it sink in for her. Her eyes narrowed and her grip on Silver Moon tightened.
"Call me that again, and you'll be choking on your own d***," she growled, her silver tail swishing behind her in a similar agitated manner.
"Aww! Your tail swishes in such a cute way when you're mad!" TD replied, then stood with his hands spread out. He didn't even look scared. "Alright then, Wolfie. Bring it."
Fighting the growl threatening to slip from her throat, the young wolf faunus ignored the boy's remarks and got into a deep fighting stance. The ice dust on the ends of her weapon fogged as her Aura flared to life. Keeping her eyes zeroed in on the boy, she waited patiently for him to make a move.
TD simply chuckled and raised his hand. When he did, a column of blood-red fire came from his hand and came towards Luna at the speed of a bullet. Her pupils dilated as the fire raced toward her at a near-blinding speed. She barrel-rolled to her right just in time for the flames to zoom past her and crash into the wall behind her. Giving her staff a spin, she then sprinted towards her target. TD charged as well, but right before they clashed he yelled, "Psyche!" and disappeared in a flash of light, teleporting behind her. His cheeky grin still remained and he seemed more amused than intimidated. Luna barely managed to regain her balance after having to suddenly halt her attack. Once she did, she turned to glare back at TD.
"Great, a f***ing joker," she growled to herself. Returning to a defensive tactic, she made a come-hither motion with Silver Moon. TD smiled and made a motion with his hand in midair, which caused a sword of some kind to appear. The sword had flames for a blade, and the flames were, of course, blood-red in color. TD grabbed the hilt and a loud explosion noise was heard as the flames on the sword intensified. He smirked then rushed her yet again, this time with the intent of actual combat. Luna rushed forward, and raised Silver Moon just in time to block the fiery blade with the shaft of her staff. The fogging of the ice dust in either end intensified at the sudden introduction of heat. His abdomen exposed, she planted her foot roughly into his gut, then swung her staff at his head when he doubled over. TD took each blow, falling to the ground when hit in the head. But he quickly teleported into the sky a few feet above her and delivered his own blow to her staff, which caused them to separate as a surge of power erupted between the two. TD was still smiling, but he seemed impressed now.
"I underestimated you, my dear," TD remarked, then added, "But, is that all you can do?"
Allowing a smirk of her own to appear on her face, Luna raised Silver Moon once more, aiming for the boy's face. Then suddenly, a long curved blade sprang from that end, further closing the distance between them. With the blade only an inch from the boy's Adams apple, Luna replied, "would you like a quick run-down of everything? Or do you have a preferred way of getting your a** kicked?"
"Actually, I'd like to let you in on a secret," the boy stated. He then spoke in a whisper, but it soon got louder as he performed one of his favorite attacks.
"Fus... ROH DAH!"
A surge of energy left his mouth and struck Luna, sending her flying backwards through the air several yards from him. TD laughed as he watched.
"Gets them every time! I love this Shout!" he exclaimed while laughing.
Well, there's a new definition of all bark no bite!
Thinking quickly, Luna thrust the blade of Silver Moon into the dirt beneath her as she neared the ground. Using the given momentum, she swung around the staff several times before launching herself back towards her opponent, ripping her weapon from the ground again in the process. Thankfully, the idiot was still laughing his head off hysterically.
Once again, she planted the blade into the ground, but this time at an angle. Swinging again, she delivered a powerful front kick to the boy's chin, sending him back several feet onto his back. Completing the single swing, she flipped in the air and landed on her feet gracefully, and returned to her defensive stance.
TD skidded for a few feet before suddenly coming to an abrupt stop, though how was unclear as he not used anything visible to stop himself. He stood to his feet and lifted his hands. The sky darkened and Red lightning fell from the sky, striking around the arena at random except for wherever he happened to be.
"Nice, you caught me off guard, Luna Greyback," TD said, "but I think playtime is over now."
He stretched his hands towards her and several tendrils of red lightning fired at her, Star Wars style.
Too fast for her to even process, the blast sent the silver she-wolf flying and crashing into the arena wall before landing in the dirt. She let out a pained grunt, her muscles spasming uncontrollably as the final sparks of electricity ran rapidly through her system. Gasping for air, she turned her startled blue gaze back at TD, the red tendrils dancing around him in a terrifyingly graceful manner.
Who- what the f*** is this guy?!, she thought to herself. She thanked whatever gods were out there for her unusually large quantity of Aura; she feared a blast like that may have killed any other Huntsman in one go. Struggling to her feet and shaking off her dizzy spell, the wolf sprinted towards her opponent once more. As she ran across the arena, she dodged many more bolts of lightning along the way, using her heightened sense of smell and hearing to pinpoint possible touchdown zones.
TD watched her movements with surprise.
Impossible! he thought to himself, That would've at least stunned anyone else! Guess she's more trouble than I anticipated.
With a growl, TD raised his hand again and a pillar of fire appeared in front of him, which was red in color too (because he's just addicted to the color, apparently). The pillar moved slowly towards Luna, seemingly set on a single goal: to catch her.
Seeing the flame pillar approach her, Luna braced herself for this next, truthfully uncertain, attack. She ran to meet the pillar head-on. Just before they clashed, she began to spin her staff like a propeller blade as fast as she could, her Aura activating the ice dust simultaneously. She still felt the intense heat burning her skin, but as luck would have it, the icy vortex she created cut right through the pillar, saving her from incineration. Ignoring TD's comical disbelieving face, she used Silver Moon to vault over the stunned teen's head. With impressive speed, she swept his feet from under him and brought her staff around him to press against his windpipe as he landed on his knees. With him now in a firm grip, she let her Semblance flow. Thick, black mist emitted from her hands and inched towards its new victim. The mist surrounded his body quickly, and a sadistic smile stretched across her face as she watched the mist encircle his head through the blade of her naginata, his eyes turning white as her Vapor robbed him of his sight, along with other senses.
TD released a burst of energy that forced her off of him, then his hands glowed white as he was engulfed in a whirlwind of power. He levitated off the ground and chanted:
"Halooga, Sarouga! Come winds of the Caspian Sea!
Lemaxious lacitus! Et max laryngitis! La voche to me!"
The whirlwind cleared a bit and TD turned to her as his eyes turned from white back to normal. He gave an evil grin.
"Nice try, puppy!" he scoffed, "but I've seen better!"
The arena shook as he levitated himself back in the air, and suddenly the ground cracked apart as a lava course appeared. Only one with proper skill could possibly navigate that.
"I can do this all day!" TD scoffed, "Got plenty more where that came from!"
Luna's heart hammered against her ribcage as she observed the chaos appearing around her. And for the first time in a long time, she was unsure of what to do. Whoever this guy was...well, she wouldn't lie; She thinks she sees where he got his name from.
Taking several deep breaths, she carefully observed the new environment: the ground had broken apart in several places, and the plates of terraferma now buoyed on a lake of bubbling lava.
Well, sh**...The Floor Is Lava, Level Difficulty: Extreme.
Pushing back the fear growing in her stomach, she took off. With a leap, she made it onto the first plate with no issue. Being extra cautious, she kept her legs loose and arms spread to steady herself should the plate rock from her weight. Thankfully, it didn't much. Pleased with the results so far, she then set her gaze on the next plate ahead. However, this one was much further away; she couldn't just jump.
Deciding to try an earlier strategy, she held Silver Moon horizontally at eye-level, before sprinting towards the edge of the plate. However, that was when she felt it, just as she prepared to vault herself. It was faint, but she felt it. A rumbling under her feet. Eyes widening in fear, the she-wolf dug her feet into the dirt beneath her in hopes of halting in time. Just as she finally stopped near the edge, a wall of boiling magma shot into the air for several seconds.
A second too slow, and she surely would have died just then. She wiped at her eyes as they watered profusely from the intense heat only a couple feet away from her face. When the lava finally subsided, she waited and felt again for another possible burst for a good minute. Nothing. She prepared herself once more, and this time successfully vaulted herself across the river of doom and onto the next plate. After steadying herself, she glared at TD who continued to hover in the air on the opposite side of the arena. She could FEEL his smug gaze as he watched her try to navigate the mine field. She met his gaze, and flashed her canines, silently giving the clear message that she wasn't done yet.
"I'm comin' for you, b***ch," her icy gaze almost seemed to say.
TD smiled in admiration at the Funus.
"You Hunters and Huntresses never cease to amaze me!" he stated. Several spheres of energy appeared in his hands and all around him.
"However, this is where the tides turn!"
The spheres all launched at Luna simultaneously, and TD himself kept up a constant barrage of fire bursts, always on the offensive, not giving her time to rest this time.
Luna's stomach dropped once more. Then, as if the world suddenly began moving in slow motion, one final idea came to mind. She hated using this power, but she had no better option at this point. In the span of just a few seconds, Silver Moon had shrunk back into its compact form and was back on the mag-halter on her thigh. Closing her eyes, she searched for the energy she needed for this maneuver. She found it, and the adrenaline rushed through her body at near light speed. The world began to move at normal speed again once she opened her eyes, and she then lowered herself onto all fours.
Letting her animalistic instincts take over, she sprinted through the mine field of lava. Dodging the constant barrade of energy blasts and occasional wall of flying magma. Finally reaching the other end of the arena, she drew Silver Moon once more, thrusting the blade into the, now stable, ground. With a final jump, she planted her feet along the weapon's shaft, and the staff shot her into the air towards her opponent as it straightened itself.
With a wolf-like snarl, she seized TD by the throat and pulled him back down to the ground with her. With careful maneuvering, she twisted their bodies to where he took the brunt of the force when they slammed onto the ground.
TD groaned, then let out a laugh as he teleported out of her grip.
"That was great!" He shouted. The announcer's voice returned as TD stood to his feet.
"Congratulations, Luna Greyback! You have successfully held your own in the arena against the champion!"
The crowd cheered wildly, but TD seemed more interested in her name.
"Wait, Luna Greyback? The Luna Greyback!? The one from the fandom site?"
Fandom site? The h*** was he talki-...wait a second.
"Wait, you're THAT Terror of Dimensions? The one from the Spruce Willis fandom?!" Luna asked in bewilderment, her tail swishing rather painfully behind her, the appendage unfortunately having taken a few burns during her journey across the arena. And her Aura was depleted after that last attack. Great...
But back to this guy, claiming to know her. Surely it wasn't the same guy?...
"Yes!" TD agreed, nodding his head. "Wow! What are the odds?"
Even though she still wanted to rip this guy's throat out, the wolf faunus couldn't help but chuckle at the circumstances. She walked over and offered her hand, "Well, f*** me runnin'! This world is gettin' smaller by the minute! What's up, ya psychotic b*****d?"
"Oh, the usual," TD said as he shook her hand, "Making some chaos here and there wherever I go. How's your tail, by the way? I hope I didn't hurt you too much."
"Hurts like a b**ch, but I'll live," she replied, raising the mentioned limb. "Better go find a paramedic or something anyway, cuz it'll be awhile before my Aura replenishes fully."
"No worries!" TD stated, "We got some top notch guys here that can fix you up in no time!"
The silver she-wolf sighed.
"Well, that's a relief!". An evil grin made its way onto her face, "So how ya been? Still fantasizing about that little girl pony cartoon?"
Luna couldn't help but laugh at the embarrassed blush that spread across her friends face.
"Actually, yes," TD replied, "But it's become more than just a fantasy. You see...well, it's actually real. And I have a new life there. In fact, some of the members in the audience today come from the world featured in that cartoon."
He gestured to several ponies, who cheered and stomped their hooves when he pointed them out. Luna wanted to say something to deny their possible existence, but she couldn't think of what to say. Sure enough, the ponies WERE there. And a purple one was waving at TD. She could only stand there with comical, disbelieving wide eyes, mouth agape. TD laughed at her expression, then an idea seemed to come to mind.
"Say, I have a little proposition for you. How would you like to be a spectator yourself when the next fight rolls around? I'll even give you a VIP seating with my friends, if you're interested. And who knows? Maybe one of these days I'll be able to arrange for a rematch."
Luna suddenly broke from her trance.
"Oh HELL no! I ain't fighting your crazy ass again! Sure, maybe I'll fight beside ya, but never against ya again! What WAS all of that, by the way?! Who, or what, are you?"
Her questions flew outta her mouth faster than she could process. TD smiled at her, muttering to himself to scratch the rematch idea.
"I am a human, but not from Remnant. I was granted powers beyond anything that anyone has ever seen. Even Salem is child's play compared to me. I was once the villain, but now I'm turning over a new leaf. I am the Terror of Dimesnions, or TD for short, and I'm proud of my job: defending existence. What happened today was just a little project I decided to throw together with the help of others. Sorry if it was inconvenient, but your author didn't specify when you were available."
Meanwhile, on the other side of the screen...
An 18-year-old girl's gray eyes suddenly widened, startled by what she had just read.
The f***...?, she thought to herself, eyeing her phone screen suspiciously.
Back to reality...
"But, enough of the Fourth Wall breaks," TD said, giving those reading this one last smirk before turning back to Luna. "If you're not interested in a rematch, fine. But the spectator offer is still up."
Just then, a trumpet blared and the announcer's voice called out, "New challenger approaching!"
"On that note," TD said with a smile, "the next one should be starting soon. So, wanna watch?"
The silver she-wolf gave a curt nod. "Sure," she said, then grinned. "But you're buying refreshments. Nothing personal, buuuut..." She trailed off, simply waving her injured tail for indication. "Seems fair, yeah?" She then started walking to the VIP section, hips swaying with attitude.
"Fair enough," TD stated as he watched her go. He then prepared himself to meet the next opponent.
Who should TD fight next time? Lemme know, and we can get them into a fight together. Teams are allowed, and they can either be OC's or legitimate characters from the franchise suggested. Tell me who you think should go against him through review or PM, along with the franchise. If you use a team or OC (or both), lemme know their skills/powers, their strengths and weaknesses, and any other information that may be useful.
Thanks for reading! Hope y'all enjoyed! Cya next time!
Songs used: "Animals" by Maroon 5
"Infinte" from Sonic Forces
Also, the short chant TD uses is from Disney's The Little Mermaid.
