I own nothing. Enjoy!
Chapter I: A Memory of a Flower
A forest blanketed in snow, quiet and peaceful, everything hidden under a sea of white. The trees, bare from the winter frost, stood like sentinels, keeping watch over the secrets entombed there.
One such secret, a lone headstone jutting out of the ice, seemed out of place amongst the trees. However, another oddity stood looking down at the grave with a sad smile. A girl in red stood reading the inscription on the stone's face.
Summer Rose
Thus, I kindly scatter~
The girl chuckled, the sound reverberating around her, as she once again read the stone before her. Slowly she kneeled and clasped her hands together, offering a silent prayer. When her task was complete the girl quickly stood and began walking to the forest's entrance.
The snow crunched underneath the girl's boots as she continued onward. She allowed herself a smile at the sound, giving her some comfort amongst the dead silence. She entered a clearing, and stopped, something was not right.
Slowly scanning the area around her, the girl tried to find what was giving such a wrong feeling. Suddenly, a sound caught her ear, and she barely turned her head in its direction.
It sounded like a heavy object pushing through snow, almost if it were running. She then heard heavy breathing and growling coming from behind her. She spun around fast enough to see a large black arm rushing towards her.
She hopped back and kept doing so to put distance between her and her attacker. The beast growled as it lowered itself to the ground. Its body was wolf-like in appearance, but its skin was an inky black while its eyes and teeth seemed to glow a bright red.
It was a Beowolf, or at least a newborn given its lack of armor. The beast rose to its full height and growled as the girl lowered herself into a fighting stance. The beast lunged and the girl spun around it, landing a blow to its back as it passed her.
The beast slid to a halt and spun around, this time it swiped at her with extended claws. She raied her arms and blocked the swing, reacting quickly she pushed the beast away from her and then delivered a swift kick to its stomach. The Beowolf slid back, dropping to all fours to stop itself. The beast shook itself before returning its stare, it couldn't understand why the human it was hunting was actually hurting it.
Ignoring instinct the Beowolf lunged once more, this time the girl didn't dodge, instead she pulled back her fist. When the beast's head got within range, she punched it in the side of its face. She smiled when she saw ripples begin tearing through the Beowolf's skin.
Throwing her fist to the side she pushed the beast away from her. It landed and began smashing its head onto the ground as more tears opened up in its hide. Taking her chance the girl rushed forward and began delivering more precise strikes while the beast was distracted.
More and more of the beast's skin shredded as she hopped back. The Beowolf slowly rose from the ground, the girl readied for another attack, but the Beowolf just gave her a pitiful look before it raised its head to howl.
The sound echoed as the Beowolf fell to the ground, its body disintegrating as it did. The girl slowly relaxed and watched as the beast faded from existence. She then straightened her cloak and hood and turned to resume her walk. Only to be stopped by several red lights staring back at her from the trees.
The lights shifted and moved closer, giving the girl a good look at what the lights were coming from. More Beowolves, this time in the hundreds, slowly stalked towards her. She silently cursed herself when she realized what the first Beowolf had done.
It wasn't long before the girl was surrounded by the beasts, most were newborns like the first, but some she could see were plated in bone colored armor, Grimm.
One of the Grimm howled and several of the newborns leapt towards her. The world then slowed as she felt her Semblance awaken. She then saw herself through another's eyes as she rushed through the line of Beowolves, striking each a killing blow.
The world then hastened as the Beowolves fell to the snow and broke apart into rose petals. The sight was something to behold as the Grimm once again howled, this time other Grimm began stalking towards the girl. They knew to be cautious around something that could down their kind easily.
The girl watched the Grimm closely as they circled her, they were waiting on her to move. She decided not to disappoint.
Running towards the closest Grimm she aimed a punch at its stomach. The Grimm's body shuddered from the impact, but the Beowolf ignored it and smacked her with its hand. The girl was sent flying, trying to recover she landed and skidded to a halt. She felt her hood drop as she stood.
The girl had short black hair with red streaks that spiked out in odd angles. Her silver eye seemed to glow as the other was hidden under an eyepatch. She smiled as the Grimm drew closer, they now knew that they at least could survive her attacks.
Sighing the girl slowly reached for her eyepatch as the Grimm lunged, yanking it from her head as the leading Grimm neared her.
She then blinked and the Grimm was gone, turning to the side she saw it flying through the air in halves. Turning around she smiled at the sight of a familiar figure floating behind her.
The figure was shrouded in a torn white cloak that swayed in the breeze. Its mechanical body, once pristine and white, was covered in burns and battle scars that turned it black. It had long, thin limbs that added to its already impressive height. Its helmeted head had a long crack going through its left eye while the other shone sky blue.
In its only arm was held a massive scythe blade that was red in color, with white stripes running along the edge of the blade. The girl again felt herself smile as she returned her attention to the surprised Grimm. Her eye that was hidden under the eyepatch was glowing a fierce red with a flower like symbol replacing up her pupil.
She then spoke, the sound spelling out the fate of the Grimm.
"Crescent Rose, we hunt and scatter."
Twenty Minutes Later~
The last of the Beowolves fell to the earth and the girl stood from her position. She turned to the machine as it pulled its scythe from the carcass of the Alpha Grimm. It turned to face her and she smiled. She then slowly pulled out her eyepatch once more and quickly fitted it over her eye.
Crescent Rose then slowly faded as the girl turned and hurried once more to the forest entrance. She pulled her hood up once more as she uttered a line she remembered.
"I shall scatter, as a flower in the wind, leaving nothing left but a memory."
I hope you enjoyed!
I wanted to do a more serious RWBY story, and this idea came to me. There will be comedy, as I really don't like writing fully serious stories.
Their Semblances are connected to their weapons, which are now giant robots. I don't think they're piloted, as Crescent Rose is at least 8 feet tall.
A proof of concept, so stick with me. The beginning chapters will probably be short, and I apologize. The pacing will be similar to the show is some aspects, but not all of them.
I don't know if I should do the other trailers, or just skip to the beginning of the story. I'll figure that out soon enough though.
Again, I hope you enjoyed!
Have a nice day!
