I own nothing but my OC's RWBY belongs to Monty Oum and Rooster Teeth.
I am open to criticism as long as it is actually criticism that is backed up by actual evidence. Onward to the story.
Chapter 1: Crash Landing
James Ironwood had been the General of the Atlas Military for many years, he had been in wars against both men and grimm. He had a family whom he never saw due to the fact that he was the General, I mean how can the guy see his family at all. James was broken from the thoughts of his family when Winter Schnee entered his quarters, "Sir the preparations are complete. The fleet is ready to move at your command." "Good." was the only reply he had, and now he was ready to protect Remnant in his own way.
Meanwhile in an airship headed escaping Atlas…
"Are you sure this it's alright to "borrow" a military airship?" asked a girl with vibrant baby blue hair. "Well if push comes to shove I can always pull the "General Ironwood is my dear old dad" card, that usually gets all but the most persistent military personnel to fuck off." a swift smack was delivered to the side of the boys head by the girl. "Language!" she yelled at him and all he could do was laugh. William Ironwood had known Jasmine Grattan for most of his life and since they both just turned 17 they decided it was time to leave Atlas and find a place they felt free and that place was Vale. Luckily most military airships had autopilot and GPS so neither had to do anything other than sit there and wait till they were away from this hell.
Flashback...
Now everyone knew what the White Fang was and what they used to be. Once a peaceful protesting organization got a new leader turned violent made humans hate faunus more, you know the way it usually goes. Any way the way William met Jasmine was unique in the way that she was sent to kill him in his bed. Now forcing a child to kill a child was a bad situation, but that didn't stop the White Fang's new leader from ordering it. So deep in the dark of the night Jasmine snuck into his window and was ready to kill him, but he wasn't asleep. To the contrary he was quite awake and training using two shortswords as his primary weapon (much to his father's disdain). Next thing he knew a small girl no older than he (who was five at the time) had a knife and a gun, and she had the gun aimed at his head, but instead of fear all he felt was excitement that he finally got to test his skill that he had been honing for a year now. "So are you gonna shoot me are are we gonna stand here all night?" William could never not joke even in serious situations, to be fair his mother was just as bad too. Jasmine shot her small 9mm pistol at him and all he did was rush her instead. The fight was over in less than a minute since William actually had training while Jasmine had none. Jasmine thought he might want vengeance or to kill her instead, but all he did was offer her a hand. "Do you want to live here with me instead of trying to kill me?" William only needed to ask and she accepted all too willingly. He got in extreme trouble with his father while all his mother did was laugh at the situation before setting the girl up a room.
Flashback end…
"Warning! Warning! Projectiles inbound!" The ship's AI blared loudly jarring William and Jasmine, but they didn't have enough time to react. One moment they were flying now they were falling out of the sky into the Emerald Forest. Ironically enough they fell right into initiation….also into an Ursa major.
