EPISODE ONE: The Phantom marksman, and the Crow.
It was getting late at a White Fang hideout, a couple guards were out talking to each other.
"Hey you heard of the phantom marksman?" Said one of them.
"Who?" Said the other one.
"You know that mysterious sniper who takes out entire bases singlehandedly." Said the first guard.
"Oh that guy, I heard that there would be no one around for miles and next thing you know, POOF! you got a hole between your eyes." Said the second guard.
Suddenly the corpse of the lookout from the tower fell down next to them causing the 2 guards to panic.
Then one of them got popped. falling to ground dead.
HES HERE IT'S THE PHANTOM MARKSMAN! Said the other guard firing at where the shot came from.
Then a shot from behind took him out. The White Fang were dropping like flies.
There was Gunfire, screams, and dying soldiers everywhere until eventually… it was quiet.
An hour later….
Glynda Goodwitch walked up to a dead White Fang soldier she felt pity for him, Even though he was part of a terrorist group, A hunter would only use lethal measures on Grimm. But for this Phantom Marksman, Ozpin surprisingly sent her to kill him.
She knelt down and picked up an empty shell casing.
"They were firing in every direction just like the team of hunters that perished a few weeks back." She said.
She went inside to look for her target. She found a lot more bodies. she then found the security footage what she found left her in shock. The Phantom Marksman was only a 16 year old boy in a hood. But what really surprised her was that her teleported behind a White Fang soldier and shot him. But the way he teleported seemed unnatural.
Suddenly she heard a crash. She rushed toward the source of the noise and came face to face with the Phantom Marksman himself, he was on the ground next to crates of empty dust vials, he looked weak as he was trying to push himself up but there were no wounds on him, he then looked up to stare at Glynda who pointed her wand at him. She got a good look at him.
The boy had Purple eyes that were missing pupils and sky blue hair. He was about 5'4, and was a little skinny. he had a small scar on his neck, other than that his skin looked untouched. he had the number 15 on his right sleeve.
The boy stared at Glynda, He could see that she intended to kill him due to having her wand aimed at him. Glynda Expected him to try to fight back. But instead the boy just slowly laid down and looked in front of him. He wanted Glynda to kill him.
Glynda was hesitating she never killed anything other than Grimm. But Ozpin ordered him to be executed. But… she couldn't do it. she then knelt down next to him and picked up a vial.
"What do you need dust for?" she asked.
Apparently the Boy was a mute, he grabbed another empty vial and put it to his lips.
"To drink it?! Why on earth would you want to do that?!"
The boy than collapsed before he could answer her. She quickly checked his pulse, he was alive….barely. She then made her decision. She picked him up and headed back to the dropship.
"That's the Marksman?!" Ozpin said in surprise. "Why if I had known it was just a boy, I would have never had you,"
"Ms Schnee. Give me a vial of dust now!" Glynda ordered laying the boy down on the floor.
"What…Why?" Weiss said confused.
"NOW!" Glynda Yelled.
"OK OK JEEZ!" Weiss said giving her a vial full of dust.
Teams RWBY, JNPR, and CFVY followed Glynda to Ozpin when they saw her carrying a boy. They wanted to know what the hell was going on.
Glynda opened the vial and looked at the boy, then everyone just freaked out when she had the boy drink it. The boy than sprang back to life gasping for air as he got up. he then tensed up as he looked around him. He was panicking.
"Relax! we're not going to hurt you." Glynda said calming him down."
Glynda than hooked up a laptop to front computer, and handed it to him.
"Do you know how to Type?" She asked.
The boy looked at her and nodded.
"Can you tell us your name?" She asked.
The Boy hesitated at first, then began to type. Then words appeared on the front computer.
I DON'T REMEMBER.
"Why don't you remember." asked Glynda.
The boy grew angry and then typed again.
CORECELL ERASED MY MEMORY.
The kids than gasped, what kind of sick person would take away someone's memories?
"What is Corecell?" Glynda asked.
AND ORGANIZATION THAT KIDNAPS PEOPLE AND TURN THEM INTO MUTANT WARRIORS. MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS HYBRIDS, WHICH I HAPPEN TO BE.
Everyone felt anger towards this Corecell. What they were doing was black hearted and merciless, and they had to be stopped.
WE ARE REFERRED TO THE NUMBER WE GIVEN. MINE IS 15.
"So there are more like you?" said Ozpin.
KINDA YEAH EACH HYBRID HAS THEIR OWN UNIQUE POWERS AND ABILITIES. BUT MOST HAD THEIR MINDS POISONED FROM THE MUTATION WHICH MADE THEM A THREAT TO ANYONE.
"How many are there?" asked Glynda.
500 SO FAR I CAN GUESS CORECELL IS STILL MAKING MORE.
"Why did you need to drink liquid Dust?" asked Glynda
IT KEEPS US ALIVE, IF A HYBRID GOES ON WITHOUT DRINKING DUST FOR TOO LONG IT WILL DIE.
"That's terrible!" Said Ruby.
"Did you happen to be the one who killed that team of hunters?" asked Ozpin.
the boy paused and had of look of fear on his face.
NO…..BUT THERE IS ONE HYBRID THAT HUNTS DOWN HUNTERS AND HUNTRESSES.
"What do you know about this hybrid?" Asked Glynda.
the boy paused for quite a while.
…..A LIVING NIGHTMARE.
Meanwhile….
Two teams of 4th year hunters and a professor from another academy in Vale were sent to investigate the warehouse that deliver supplies to the academies for their students. And it just suddenly lost communications with the academies. at the moment their academy was the only one to notice.
When they got inside, what they saw horrified them.
"T-There all dead." Said a huntress.
"What could have done this?" Said a hunter.
"This wasn't the White Fang, nor Grimm… We don't know what were dealing with, so keep your guard up." Said the professor Who happened to be a female bear faunus with eyeglasses.
"What do you think it is mom?" said a younger bear faunus who happened to be the professors son.
"I don't know… and that's what scares me." she replied.
They suddenly hear thump in a nearby locker. The young hunters had their weapons ready as the professor slowly reached for the handle… a living security guard fell out and she looked terrified.
"WHERE IS IT?! IS IT GONE?!" The guard panicked.
"Relax, you are safe now." Said the professor.
"SAFE?! WERE NOT SAFE! THAT THING WILL KILL US ALL!" yelled the guard.
"I doubt it can hold its own against our academies 2 most skilled teams of hunters, along with being an elite huntress myself." the bear faunus replied.
"WE GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE MAN! WE GOTTA,
The professor slapped her.
"Get a hold of yourself!" she said. "Now tell us what did thi….
The professor stopped in mid-sentence as her faunus hearing kicked in.
So did a couple of the hunters and huntresses that were also faunus.
"What is it Mrs. Oakwood?" Said a human hunter.
"Listen."
…..
…..
…*clink*, *clank*, *clink*, *clank*,*clink*, *clank*, *clink*, *clank*, *clink*, *clank*, *clink*,*clank*,
"What's that sound," Said a human huntress.
"OH GOD, ITS BACK!" The guard said beginning to panic again.
*clink*, *clank*, *clink*, *clank*, *clink*, *clank*, *clink*, *clank*, *clink*, *clank*,
"Where is it coming from?"
"I can't sense its presence!"
"It's close, but where?"
"WERE ALL GONNA DIE!"
"Stay calm everyone" Oakwood said.
Suddenly the sound stopped.
…..
"Steady children."
…
"I GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE!"
The guard then made a run for the door.
"STOP YOU FOOL!" Oakwood yelled running after her.
and the second the guard reached the door something fell from above and landed on the guard crushing her to death.
Oakwood and the others skidded to a halt as they looked at the creature with fright in their eyes.
It appeared to be a very tall slim female in a dark hood and cloak wearing a blood stained plague doctors mask, they caught a glimpse of its legs, which were basically the legs of a crow. but they were hidden underneath it's cloak, its talons and hands were big enough to grab a person's head, Its fingers were sharp like claws.
"WHAT IS THAT THING?!" screamed a huntress.
The creature then turn its head to look at its next victims.
Then it vanished before their very eyes.
"Where did it go?!"
The group then slowly walked backwards checking every crack and corner….except the one place where the creature actually was…. the ceiling. It waited for the right moment…. then it slowly and quietly pulled its talons out of the ceiling.
The faunus were the first to react.
"ITS ABOVE US!"
(I'd recommend that music from grievous first appearance in the 2003 clone wars, but you can do other hair raising music.)
The creature then attacked. all but 2 hunters managed to roll out of the way, the 2 unfortunate ones got their throats slashed by its sharp claws.
Everyone was shocked that the creature broke through their aura so easily. Then they all charged the creature to avenge their deceased friends.
They creature was blocking all their attacks and knocked them away till there was only a deer faunus on her feet. It slashed her in the torso making her grab her stomach in pain leaving her open for the creature to deliver the finishing blow before her friends could get back up.
Everyone looked in horror as the creature decapitated the faunus. A hunter with a semblance just like Pyyrha's threw debris at the monster. It sliced through them with ease while another hunter charge at it from behind with her double sided spear.
Without even looking behind, the creature then lashed its leg out grabbing the girls face with its talons, swung her back in front of it, and then smashed her face into the ground hard. Then grabbed the girls weapon and turned the other hunter into a kabob.
It then attacked the remaining 3 with a flurry of blows. forcing them to put all their focus on defense. The creature then grabbed one of the hunters by the neck, the sheer force of the grab snapped his neck killing him instantly. It threw his body at Oakwood sending her flying into a pile of metal crates. But she was still in the fight. her son was holding it off as best he could.
"Hang in there son! I'm coming!" She shouted as she was pushing the crates off of her.
But as soon as she got free. the Beast knocked the son's weapon away and impaled him with her claws.
"NOOO!" She screamed.
Oakwood dived for her weapon but the creature brought its foot down on it smashing it to pieces. The bear faunus then looked to her side and saw an ax, she rolled out of the way avoiding its lethal claws and grabbed it and got into a battle stance.
"If I'm going to die…I will die fighting." she said.
The creature then launched itself at the professor.
15 looked out the window in fear.
"What's wrong?" Asked Pyrrha.
The boy didn't even look back at them.
IT'S ATTACKING A HUNTRESS AT THE WAREHOUSE.
Before they could reply, typed he jumped out the window and made a dash for the warehouse.
"Everyone to the warehouse now!" Yelled Glynda.
