Chapter 1: Violets Aren't the Only Blue
Hello and welcome to my RWBY fanfiction. I decided to finish this up early because I got sick and had nothing better to do. Really my life pretty much revolves around fanfiction. I hope you like it, and now without further ado.
Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY. It is in the more than capable hands of RoosterTeeth and Monty Olm.
Vale's First Bank was on the corner of Bridge and Kane Street. It was always trustworthy and never once had a problem with its customers. That was until tonight. All was calm, nothing to out of the ordinary until a stranger with blue hair walked in and got in line. Most people thought nothing of it. He looked like any average ordinary 6'0" teenager, with blue hair that was all turned to his right with a few messy spikes here and there.
After a few minutes he got the front of the line and the attendant asked, "Hello sir, are you new here? Would you like to establish a new account?" The whole time smiling not knowing who he was dealing with.
The teen just replied with, "No actually if you don't do what I say a lot of people will get...hurt so to speak."
The clerks smile suddenly dropped, "Umm...are you robbing us?"
With an eyebrow now raised the blue haired teen replied with, "Wow! Congrats...you solved the obvious riddle!" The teen turned back towards the door the yelled, "NOW!"
Suddenly another man appeared looking in his mid-twenties with green hair and a red head band. "Man did you have to take so long?" Throwing his younger companion two twin swords.
"Thanks, and yes I did! It adds more drama." The teen responded with little hand motions all over. The guards now responding to the robbers charged the new entry.
"It's extremely hard to believe that you're still a little kid." He said before he knocked out three guards with the butt Atlas, his shotgun.
The teen then jumped the counter handing the clerks three bags, "Fill the bags or else!" He then turned around once they began his task to see a gun from a guard pointed at his face, "Don't move!" The teen starting to make peace with Monty, but was interrupted with the sound of a loud thud. The guard fell over yelling, "OW! JEEZ THE BACK OF MY HEAD!" Revealing his compatriot behind the knocked out guard.
With a smug look on his face, "You know how many times I've told you to check behind the counter before, ehh Blue?"
Relief clearly on his face he looked back to his partner, "Like a million times Jade, but you're always there to help me out." Blue said now embarrassed smile on his face continued, "I mean what are brothers for?"
Jade now with a smile responded from the childish nature of his little 15 year old brother. "True, true." Just then the final clerk filled his bag and the brother's short victory was interrupted by the sound of sirens outside.
"Oh no!" Blue said with fear on his face.
Jade tried to comfort his brother by saying, "Hey, don't worry but we need to go...NOW!" The two brothers hurried out the back door just as the police came bursting in. Running through the back alleys of Vale
Blue raveled at their victory, "Looks like yet another victory for Team Emerald Sapphire!" He said pumping his fist in the air.
The two brothers stopped after they thought they were a good 10 blocks away from the bank. Jade commented on the new 'team name' "Although this one is good. I don't think we should name ourselves that."
With fake disappointment in his voice Blue retorted, "Aww man! You never let me have fu-" the teen was interrupted by footsteps coming towards his brother and himself.
The figure was in a white trench coat and black bowler hat just walked to them and clapped slowly, like some evil villain. Finally when he was no more than 10 steps away he spoke, "Well done kiddos, but I think you have me and my companion's money. So hand it over, and no one gets hurt!"
Just then 20 armed men in black suits and red ties walked in behind him. Jade just took in his surroundings giving a small nod to his brother. Blue started to get ready his two swords, Zeus and Hades. Zeus could fire a small bullet that was loud as thunder and was as deadly as the god himself. Hades on the other hand had a chainsaw like blade and could cut through the sharpest steel.
Blue after readying his weapon looked back at the man, "If you want the money then come and get it!"
The bowler hat guy raised his cane and said, "Alright, BYE!" Suddenly a huge combustion came out of the end of the cane towards the two brothers.
They both saw this coming and were too fast as they both decided to deal with the cane wielder's lackeys first. Both Blue and Jade had no trouble at all defeating all 20 of the weak henchmen, but Blue wasn't paying attention and bowler hat noticed this and took his chance, firing combustion at him. Jade saw this at the last second and pushed his younger brother out of the way.
He was successful, in saving his brother, but got caught in the blast. Blue after being saved turned to see what was at the end of the blast where his brother was horribly scarred and bloody. He ran and slid to Jade dropping his money not caring about it, "NONONONONO! PLEASE DON'T BE DEAD! PLEASE DON'T BE DEAD!"
When Blue got to his brother is wasn't a pretty sight. Jade just stumbled over his words with blood coming out each time, "...Blue...*cough*...be...good..." And with that last word his eyes closed and his body went limp.
Hearing the explosions, only a few blocks away, a cop went to investigate only to see one of the two culprits from the bank heist. Upon seeing him he called for backup and it arrived within seconds.
Blue was going through the toughest time of his life right now. No parents, about to be arrested, and being the cause for his brother's death. All of this finally came crashing down as blue flames erupted everywhere killing 2 or 3 cops. When Blue realized he had just killed people the flames ceased and he ran with his brother in his arms. After running for about 10 minutes Blue got away from the cops and to get to his destination he stole a car.
After a 30 minute car ride full of tears he stopped at his destination. A cliff side where Blue and Jade had always gone to and played when they were younger. Blue had stopped about 100 feet away from the cliff's edge, where he wanted to bury his brother. He dug a grave for his brother and got a stone. He wrote on it using Hades he wrote "Jade G.: Beloved Brother and Friend".
Blue now had tears streaming down his face look at the grave and started to speak to it, "Hey, hope you like this place. I thought since we always came here as kids you would want to be hear. Man I thought I would be the first to go because of all the stupid shit that I do. But…I guess it only got you killed...I'm sorry."
He got up with his brother's weapon, Atlas, and started to walk away. Until he saw a girl who looked like Red Riding Hood on a cliff edge not too far away sitting over a grave. Blue first thought to comfort her but then knowing how he felt he decided to just leave.
3 Days Later...
When Blue got back to Vale he was a criminal. A criminal with no one he could count on. He spent most of his days at The Drunken Jack, the local bar in the underbelly of Vale. He usually sat alone slumped over just in case if somebody noticed him and decided to turn him in. But tonight was different.
Blue was slumped over as usual but was disturbed when somebody sat down at the table he was at. Blue still didn't look up just to be safe. After a second of silence the stranger spoke up, "Well it seems like your feeling down about him."
Finally deciding to look up Blue saw the familiar face of the bowler hat guy, the guy who killed his brother then fled. Not deciding to cause a scene he sat up, not really caring what happened to him, and said in an extremely aggressive tone, "What the hell do you want?" Now staring fiercely a bowler hat.
With a smug expression he replied, "Well I heard your reputation was ruined, so I thought I'd offer you a job. What do ya say?" The whole time he kept that same smug expression on his face.
Blue now utterly surprised by bowler hat's offer only responded with, "W-why?"
"Oh I don't know. I need a man, you probably need a job, and I don't think people usually give criminals jobs."
Returning to pure rage, Blue stared down bowler hat, "Why would I work for you?"
Bowler hat thought for a second and looked back at Blue, "Well I have something that no one else can give you...your brother."
Blue's eyes shot wide as he heard what bowler hat had just said to him. "How is that even possible?"
Keeping his smug face bowler hat responded, "It's simple really. I have a friend who uses sorcery, and if you help us I will have her bring your brother back. So, do we have a deal?" He finished extending his hand.
Blue was reluctant at first, but thought about how it would be to have his brother back was worth working for the man that killed him. He met bowler hat's hand and shook it, "Deal."
Now lowering into a somewhat friendly manner Blue his hand go and so did bowler hat. Bowler hat still with his smug look on his face said, "Well I think introductions are in order. I'll go first. My name is Roman Torchwick. And yours?"
After a second Blue finally responded, "Blue. Blue Gentian. So what kind of work will I be doing?"
Roman replied with a smirked expression, "Now, you leave that up to me."
Wow this took me over 2 hours and 30 minutes to write. It's so unlike my other stories, and I love it! BTW: I will be having a RvB Easter egg in each chapter. Let's see if you can find it. Please review so I know how I did and how I can get better! THANKS!
