Hello everyone, I'm back with my FIRST NON-Pokémon story. No, I'm NOT stopping Pokémon stories just putting it on hiatus, again, well most of the stories not all of them.
NOW, I don't know much of the show RWBY, I know a few from a small amount of research I did, a video and tons and Tons and TONNNNSSS of fanfiction stories. Yeah, inspiration from all those stories to make this one. Yes, I read a lot and that's what halted me in the realm of fanfiction writing, along with life obstacles.
I'm also watching the show from beginning to present, the series hasn't ended yet, which might stall this in return, but I prefer to understand things more than release a rushed work.
I'm using the same key as before now dubbed the "Masuda key". As you noticed in the rating it's M, but there WON'T BE ANY LEMONS. Seriously the characters in RWBY are people, and the Faunus being humans with animal features, you can look up on the internet at your desire, plus you can imagine if you want, seriously there's no point in lemons with humans. You understand right? I only put the M rating just to be on the safe side. So really it's suppose to be T rated but looking back at the guidelines I decided it would be safer to put an M.
Setting. Remnant will be the main thing here, no real world locations or stuff like that, basically in the RWBY universe, but with real life trends intact, such as video games, Youtube, sports, holidays, slang, memes, songs, dancing, Donald Trump and Politics… ok definitely not those last two, I don't know how that even got to my mind. Anyway, some real life aspects in Remnant, capish? Good
NOOOOWWWW! Onto the story… *Get's Typing*
-Azure-

Ok… so where do I start …Hmm… Well let's take this to the beginning, shall we? It all started with me being born to a Huntsman and Huntress in Mistral. My family was quite the attention as they did many noble deeds at the time. My family helped stopped and eliminated almost all the Grimm in the area making people feel safe. They also helped in calming tensions between Faunus and people, too the point that the discrimination became non-existent in the region, and this spread throughout Remnant, easing down tensions and breaking down the White Fang. My family's presence almost rivaled the Schnee's, but they were more well known, and I'm planning to make my family more well known.
My dad, a very awesome and utterly badass Huntsman was the top of his tier in Atlas Academy, considered the best among his team, BARY. Blue, my dad, being the leader. Aroura, my mom. Ray who was the one competing for my mom at the time, and Yasmine, who soon fell in love with Ray, easing tensions with my dad. During his time there, my dad created a really cool weapon. He calls them "Velociter Illisus", which is a combination of 2 Latin words. Velociter for swift, speed and lightness. While Illisus is to strike, and hit. Put two and two together and you get "Swift strike". These blue beauties were hand crafted by him and him alone. Took him around a month to make. Those knives were given to him by his father and his fathers before him, so it meant a lot of importance to him. He decided to put this under an update so it won't be obsolete while keeping its main form.
It was crafted with high-quality metals to withstand even the toughest of Grimm armor. The blade was very strong, durable, light, sturdy, flexible, and adaptable, but needed very high maintenance as it always needs to be in it's specially designed sheath when not I use, and I do mean always. It had to be cleaned from the elements every day, especially when slaughtering Grimm. But that's not the awesome part about it. No, the cool thing about this is its modularity.
First form, 2 knives. Both blades made from undisclosed metals, shining in silver with gold accents by it's single cutting edge, with a small blue tinge to it. It's around 9 inches in length with a slight curve to it, it's similar to a katana but smaller, more on that later. The handle is about 4 and a half inches long. This form is mainly used for close quarter combat when you need a quick, surgical, and sudden strike. Very light and effective. They can also be used in times of survival, such as cutting wood, scraping magnesium for a fire, cutting apples and slicing pesky cans with a big aftermath.
The second form, 1 set twin katanas. The blades extend, now having a 14-inch length. The same blade color scheme and material just extended. This is similar to the knives but bulkier, relatively speaking. It's still light as air, though. The handle extended and a hand guard is added to prevent your hand from well, you know. These blades are more toward combat, but with some uses during in times of survival. This is used when you need a light build and you need an advantage in one on ones or you're surrounded with knife wielding grunts. It's more geared towards slicing rather than stabbing compared to knives. You can have three fighting styles with this. One is all out the attack, attacking from different angles at different times with very hard swung blades, moving swiftly with the wind.
"Be steadfast when using this style." My dad would say. Basically, commit yourself and don't hold back. But this will leave you open if you fail or make a mistake. The second is, you guessed it, all out defense. You block as many attacks as you can and try to tire them out, yes I said try to. When the time is right, to strike."Be as solid and calm as a river flowing against a storm." He would say. He mentored me with those blades when I reached teen years to apply to Haven Academy. Oh yeah, forgot to mention, when my mom and dad married each other they decided to move to Mistral. The last and third style is a combination of the two, balancing out attack and defense. These styles all have their purpose and different types of advantages and disadvantages, so he taught me when to use it.
We're almost there, just 1 or 2 more forms to go. You know what, I'll make it short and sweet. The third form, 1 long katana, 28 inches. Combine the twin katanas as one. Same purpose as the katanas. It has a second form to this, a subform you can say, where it transforms to a pointy broadsword for keeping your enemy at a distance and strike back. The fourth form is 2 guns. Now how you get those? Easy, from the specially designed scabbard. It holds the blade inside, with some magic or something, and uses the blade handle as the pistol grip. The scabbard was designed to hold the blade in a carefully monitored environment to keep the metal safe. But my dad thought changing the scabbard to fit the blade, AND turn to a weapon would be a better idea. He worked on it and actually works. 2 pistols, 50 AE, same power as a Desert Eagle, semi-automatic and light. Now the forms don't stop there, though. But I'll just list the forms so we can continue the story and let you readers enjoy… and let the author have some rest. I'll just list them and you figure it out.
Pistols can combine to form a modular rifle, fully customized to fit your needs. Shotgun. Sniper, silencer, and scope included. Scout rifle. And you all know what assault rifle is for. Yes very modular it is. But everything has flaws, unfortunately. Again, maintenance of the weapon as a whole is mandatory, it must be kept in its scabbard at all costs when not in use and must be washed cleanly with a special chemical before putting it inside. If it easily gets stained during use and leaving the dirt there will make it self-permanent on the blade if left untouched. As for ammo, you have to craft that on your own, luckily I have the blueprints to make those bullets and using my dad's machine to do it, and a lot of it in stock, and I do mean a lot. But it will be problematic if you don't know. You can't just use any ordinary 50 AE cartridge from a Desert Eagle, you need a specially designed one for the gun because it's modularity makes it hard to find a good cartridge to fit. If you were stupid and tried using a regular 50 AE on this gun, you're in hell, my friend. Scenarios include jamming, broken parts, clogging, and in worst scenarios, explosion, burning and getting exotic metal splinters all over your face with questionable chemical compounds and properties. And that specific ammo rule applies to its other forms as well! Yep, just imagine the different types of ammo you need for this beautiful weapon. But other than that it does the job, and keeps my family heritage alive. Now you know my weapon, time for the actual story.
I have other weapons on hand, but I think that will be revealed later on.
So I was born and grown well with my lovely parents…
[Flashback. 5 Years ago]
-3rd Person—
"Aww, he looks beautiful, Blue." A yellow-haired mother said. A tall, muscular and handsome man with blue hair came by her side to look at a sleeping azure-haired boy.
"Looks just like, me. With the hair and face." He said proudly. She looks at him with a 'really?' type of face.
"And he has…" As he said that he tapped the woman's nose. "Your nose." He said with a smile. She giggled at his gesture and flattery.
"You look beautiful Aroura, as always." He said lovingly, caressing her cheek lovingly.
"Stop…" Aroura said being flattered by her husband's. He suddenly gave a peck on her mouth. Which surprised Aroura. She then went in for a full, deep, and passionate kiss.
"I love you, Aroura."
"I love you too, Blue." She returned. Then suddenly Blue popped a lightbulb above his head.
"I want to name our son, Azure!" Aroura was disappointed as that ruined the setting at the place, but she knows Blue changes a lot. She gave a thought about it.
"That actually fits!" She said.
"Yes, it does! I figured it out because well you his hair and heir to out family… Woah… Kinda meta back there," He said. Aroura did a small scoff.
"Yeah, took you abut a hundred tries." She joked.
"It was only 13 tries! Don't have to exaggerate it." He said with a smile and laugh, trying to defend himself. She laughed at this. They have been married since Blue's first proposal, and they stayed with each other faithfully and loyally, protecting each other, their families, and their child Azure.
They both went out of Azure's room and went to theirs. It was nighttime, and Azure was asleep after playing soccer with his friends. But Blue wasn't going to sleep anytime soon, he was gonna work on his secret project, to pass down the family legacy onto his soon. It was his weapons. He named them "Velociter Illisus" because these weapons are swift and they strike without mercy.
"I'll be back, honey. Just gotta work on it." Blue said next to a laid down Aroura. She rolled her eyes and groaned.
"Oh come on, you know why I'm doing this, right?"
"I know, I know, just come back and sleep early." She said with a smile. He nodded and gave her a goodnight kiss.
"Night, Aroura."
"Night, Blue. Be sure to come back." She said before slowly closing her eyes.
"I will." He said rubbing her head softly. He then turned the lamp off and went out fo the room slowly closing the doors as to not disturb the sleeping queen and prince. Blue owned a decently sized mansion with a light Blue interior. Blue's a big theme in his family as you can tell. He walked down to go to his basement. He lazily left the door open with a slit to look through. Unbeknownst to him, his son was awake. He woke up from his lethargic nap. He rubbed his eyes.
"Where's dad? I need to ask him something." He said. He got up and walked out of his room, slowly opening the door with an audible creek. He peeked and saw a dimly lit living area, but a beam of light like a pole projecting itself on the wall.
(I think he's in the basement.) He thought. He opened the door more and went done to the basement slowly and quietly.
"Hmm… what should be done here?" Blur said, scratching his blue-haired head, trying to get the old noggin' working again.
"Hmm… what's a popular trend today?" He gave a thoughtful hum and rub on his chin. A light bulb appeared again. He pointed up with a lit up face. He then suddenly went for his tool box and saw Azure standing by the door.
"Son?" He said. Azure then slowly revealed himself, being blinded by a shining work light.
"Sorry dad, I couldn't sleep. I needed to ask you something." Blue came forward and put a hand on Azure's shoulder.
"What is it?"
"What are you working on? I usually notice you going back to the basement from time to time." Azure explained.
"Oh. I was working on my Velociter Illisus." He said.
"What are they?"
"Well, they are a very…ummm…" He thought of a word that wouldn't confuse the young pre teen's mind.
"Adaptable set of weapons. They can change form depending on your situation and now I'm trying to implement a gun in it so it can be used for ranged attacks." Azure's face brightened at the idea.
"That's awesome!" He was then quickly shut by Blue's hand.
"Shhh! Don't want to wake up your mother, huh? Just be quiet." Azure nodded with Blue's hand still closing his mouth.
"Alright." He said and let his mouth free. He then closed the door completely as it allowed to leak sound.
"Can I help you?" Azure asked excitedly. Blue's face switched to a doubtful smile. He gave a thought about it. He could use some help to finish this project sooner, that has gone long enough, or risk contaminating the project and render it useless. He looked back and forth between Azure and the project. Azure's eyes were begging for him to say yes. Blue sighed then gave a smile.
"Alright. But you have to follow any direction I say, or the project will fail. Ok?" He said sternly. Azure straightened up and saluted him.
"Aye aye, sir!" Blue laughed and shook his head slowly at his young boy's imagination.
"What are we waiting for let's go. And at ease soldier." Blue said playing along. Azure loosened up with a brightened face glimmering eyes as now he can help his dad finish his project.
[After finishing the main part]
They were almost done, integrating gun parts in the Velociter Illisus' scabbard. Blue tested it shooting dummy bullets and one real one. He only did it once so it doesn't disturb anyone. Luckily his workspace is soundproof because he believed that all of the things he uses to work with are noisy.
"Alright! It actually works! Thanks to your help Azure."
"Azure? That's my name." He questioned
"Yeah… you like it?" He asked. Azure gave a euphoric smile.
"It's one badass name." He all said. His father smiled back.
"Glad you liked it. Now ready for the main part?"
"What are we missing? It works and that's it, what else do we have to add?" He asked confused.
"This." Blue all said. He went to a secured locker. He typed in the code, twisted the lock, and opened it. The dramatic fog came out with a hiss accompanying the dramatic opening. What's inside is a small set of cylinders and ammunition rounds. Each cylinder had its color and there was 8. Two are red, two are blue, two are white, and two are yellow. The barrels looked like small pencils, but the length of it being a mere 3 inches. There are different types of ammunition rounds were in different sizes, each one bigger than the last.
"What is that, pops?"
"That's Dust. It's what gives weapons power, well elemental powers to be specific." He left the safe open and went to get the weapons. He continued explaining.
"Thanks to a friend in the Schnee's company he gave me some rare and precisely cut Dust that can fit into this." He pressed a button on both of them. The handles soon expand showing 4 resting holes in each handle. Azure was confused at first. He looked back and forth between the Dust and weapons. Then he put the pieces together.
"So you're gonna put those little sticks, the Dust, in there to activate it?"
"Yes. But not to activate the weapon, just to give it it's elemental powers."
"Ohhh. I see." Blue put the blades, in the scabbard mind you, on a set of holders, keeping it upright, with the handle pointing up. He grabbed the small and fragile barrel of dust and put it in the hole. It got sucked in and closed, keeping the Dust safe. He did this for each handle. Each of them having the same color combination. Once they were all placed, the Dust holders retracted and retreated inside the handle. The handle guard had a color-coded shape and a colored line appeared. Azure came up to inspect it. He looked at the details made in awe.
"Now. You see these?" Blue said pointing out the line and color-coded shape, which were both red. Azure nodded.
"These colors are supposed to show the type of Dust in use. Right now we have red, which is a Fire Dust." He said. He lifts a small part of the blade out of the holster showing a red glow and a radiant heat coming out. He put it back in the scabbard.
"Now to change it, you just twist the hand guard." He did so and twisted changing the color from red to yellow.
"And I will change the element in use." He then lifted the blade again, and the blade is now shimmering yellow with sounds of crackling electricity.
"Woah…" Azure said amazed at the power this weapon can have.
"Now if you want to set it to default, with no Dust activated, just pull back the handguard, watch the blade, and it will return to it's regular no Dust state." He did this and pulled back the hand guard. It swung back to its original place and the light was gone. He pulled the blade up and the blade showing it's beautiful blue shimmer and gold touches. He put it back. And walked up to his son.
"Now you know where this blade is going?"
"In the market?"
"Hell no, it will go to you, Azure." He said surprising Azure, making him speechless.
"Don't worry I'll teach you how to take care of it and learn how to use it."
"But, will this replace my trusty staff?" Azure asked unsurely. He looked over to his staff on a display. They are now in 2 pieces because they are also modular, but not at the same level of the Velociter Illisus. It's in its secondary form, Kali sticks. The can combine to form a full metal Bo-staff. They have yellow dust only, making it control electricity, or lightning, for the attack.
"You can keep them both. Just use them when it's needed." Azure looks at him in disbelief. He ran up to him and gave bear hug.
"Thanks, dad."
"No problem son. I love you." He said returning the hug.
"I love you too dad."
Then I prepared, for both the academy and a sport that is loved by many.
[Present, Haven Academy]
-Azure-
"WHAT! WHAT IS THIS BS!" I shouted at the coach. He remained calm and gave a solemn face.
"I'm sorry Azure, they just snatched you. We didn't know the transfer window was still open. Then they just suddenly bought you." He explained
"You can't do this! I've been doing great in this school! Now I gotta go to Vale?" I shouted outraged.
"I'm sorry, Azure. But there's nothing we can do. You will now have to go to Beacon and leave Haven." He said almost choking.
"But why must this happen?" I questioned.
"We just gotta let you go, we are having too many financial problems, and keeping your paycheck is really having a setback."
"Really? All this for money?" I said getting more outraged.
"I apologize for your sudden outrage and transfer. I really am, but promise me this." He said getting up and putting a hand on Azure's shoulder.
"Play at your best, show Remnant who is Azure Masan. Even if it means going against us and winning it for a different team, prove yourself you're one of the best. Play like no one else does, defeat your opponents and win everything. Be the first and never follow." He said. Azure looked down.
"But… they're my friends… long time teammates." I said
"I know it's hard to let things go, but you have to let some things go, in order to successfully pursue happiness." He said wisely, bringing my head up to what he said.
"So please follow this promise, even if you will go against us, follow this vow and never break it." He pleaded to me. I gave a solid nod.
"That's our number 7." He said referring to my shirt number. He returned to his seat.
" You are now dismissed, you will have to get ready for your transportation."
"Alright, thanks, coach. I'll see you another time." I said, leaving the room and closing the door. The halls were empty, the sun still high, with strong beams reflecting off the windows and shiny floor. The hall wasn't completely empty, it was just me and my current girlfriend, Maggy. The brunette was waiting for me to leave. When I did open the door and leave she came up to me with a hug.
"So… what did they say?" she asked letting me go. I looked down, my face was solemn.
"I'm gonna have to go," I said shakily, making Maggy lose her smile. She was then tearing up. I noticed this and pulled her into a hug. She began sobbing on my shoulder. I patted her on the back to calm her down.
"Hey… it's ok. I'm still in Remnant am I?"
"Mmhmm." She said muffled by my clothes.
"And I'm just going to a different school that's all. Not a big deal. But that won't restrain our relationship would it?" I asked her. She lifted her face from me to look me right in the eye. Her tears were running down her cheeks. She shook
"No, it won't stop our relationship." I looked at her with caring eyes and wiped her tears away.
"We'll still be with each other right?"
"Yes." She said cracking up from the crying. I gave her a soft smile. I then cupped her cheeks and kissed her. She was now deep within me, as we fought with our tongues. We then parted.
"Now where's that beautiful smile?" I asked. She blushed and tried to hide it. I saw this.
"There it is. I knew it was there." I said.
"Stop that. You're making me feel uncomfortable." She said laughing.
"Well isn't that what I'm good at?" I asked. She crossed her arms and gave a sly smile.
"Yeah. And I don't really like it." I laughed at her joke.
"I'm gonna have to go pack up and say goodbye to my parents." I let her go and I went through the doors. As I exited and saw the bright sun it was still early. Today was half day for some reason. I needed to get home quick though and pack everything up. I activated my Semblance, which gave me a huge leap in speed, making it look like I was teleporting. I was surrounded by a yellow aura and I saw everything slow down. I then ran home. As I got there I stopped my Semblance and everything is back in motion. I opened the doors.
"Mom! Dad! I'm home!" I shouted in the large house. I was expecting to hear footsteps and a big hug. Except… there was nothing… no footsteps, no groaning, no rumbling. Everything… was silent.
"Mom? Dad?" I shouted once more getting worried. I settled down my book bag.
"I have to leave soon, prepare to go to Beacon" I shouted. That's supposed to make them come out. But it didn't. I felt more nervous now. Where are they? They wouldn't just leave me without a notification. I activated my Semblance again and started running around the house looking for them. Dad wasn't in the basement, and my mom wasn't in the kitchen. I then reached their living quarters and I saw a gruesome scene.
I saw my mom and dad, laying on their bed, dead. I opened the light to see them holding each other's hand. I saw blood dripping from the bed sheets, the blue bed being stained in conflicting blood red. Numerous cuts on my dad and my mom were visibly dead, as there was a slit on her throat. I couldn't bare looking at this. I was speechless, in complete disbelief. Who killed them. I then heard groaning. I looked and it was my dad. I rushed toward him, standing by his side.
"Dad! Dad are you, ok!?" I asked. He slowly turned to me, breathing heavily. He then spoke me 2 words. I barely heard him and tried to read his lips.
"What?"
"Whi-i-i-ite…. Fa-a-and…." He said with a soft croaky voice.
"Who are they?" I asked.
"Not… now… go.. .. to… basement…. Get… the…. Blades." He said slowly. I knew what he was saying and I went down again to the basement. I didn't see the clutter made in the basement when I looked for them as I didn't have time. There was broken glass, a flickering work light, and a beeping machine. I looked for the Velociter Illisus. And I found them in a safe, that's within a safe. It was a big safe that contained his items and I saw a handle by the end and opened it. I saw the 2 pristine blades in the scabbard. I quickly grabbed them and ran to my dad, still somehow clinging to life.
"What do you need this for?" I asked him confused. He then pushed it towards me.
"Keep….it…" He said. I looked at it, as he finally let me keep the blades. Something that has been passed to him for generations.
"Please…. Save…. The family heritage…. And pass on the legacy…." He said.
"No! I can save you! I'll bring you to the hospital!" I said. I was about to carry him, then his bloodied hand grabbed me. He shook his head.
"You won't… be able to… reach it in time…" He said. He then coughed. I looked down, seeing as my life would now change in more ways than one.
"I was here to tell you I'm gonna go Beacon. Now you guys are… dead." I said choking up ready to cry. I then saw him smile.
"That was the plan…. To get you into Beacon…. And help you prepare…" I looked him. Utterly shocked at what he said. Did he plan this?
"I knew…. We would become…. Targets soon…. So I planned ahead…. If anything were to happen to us….. I planned you to go to Beacon…. So you won't get hurt…. And also prepare to fight…. The enemy…." He explained. So he planned it all along. I looked at him understanding what he meant.
"I… don't know what to say…" I said.
"You should…. Thank me…. I'm gonna die soon…. And I know you will grow up…. But I'll never see it…. Your mom and I will never see you…. Grow up to become a great Huntsman and player…. Now this has happened…. Your gonna have to follow your own path…. And prepare…. " He said.
"I will dad. For you, and for mom." I said, swearing my word on their grave.
"Thank…. You…." His eyes then turned black, his pupils dilating signifying his death. I closed his eyes.
"Thank you, dad… for helping me on my journey." I said.
Before I left, I called the authorities to notify them what happened. They arrived soon after and asked me necessary questions. They called in some support, forensic investigators, and detectives to analyze what happened. Soon the house was surrounded by yellow tape. Because of this ordeal, my transport had to be postponed until tomorrow. They let me stay at a temporary guest room in their station, near Haven academy.
Now something else has changed….
Wooo wee I'm back bitches! Sorry.
I'm back and as you can see. Not a Pokemon story. Now to explain me.
First off, life just had to be a bitch and make me get a lot of work done. I almost forgot about this, but I was saved when I read other fanfiction stories and stumbled into the RWBY realm. Most of the hiatus is done by me procrastinating, though, to be honest. I tell myself I can finish it, and then read 5 different stories with very little progress done. Remember I have school, and the midterm was very stressful. Now I won't end those mainstream Pokemon stories, hell no those stories are going nowhere. But this is an addition to my writing collection.
Yes, I'll STILL DO Pokemon stories, but I like to be dynamic and make different stories of different things. This is so I don't lose that good feeling of writing and reading. After reading A LOT, like a LOT, of Pokemon stories it seemed to lose its novelty after a while. SO I dug deeper into the Fanfiction world to look for other stories. I saw many good stories of other things and even getting ideas from them.
As you can see this is an RWBY story.
My chapters are increasing in quality now, as I'm learning more and dedicate more time to beta reading, and less rushing. But that means the chapters will take long to type let alone make a plot. This is a burden you'll have to take if you're gonna become a writer of any sort, not just fanfic. Speaking of releases…..
Schedule for upcoming releases.
All stories EXCEPT, lemon one-shots, this story and some others, will be postponed. No few releases until Christmas comes. When it does, I'm gonna try to start working on those more. The first one shot will be coming SOON. Sorry, that was postponed as well. I was just really really tired and somewhat procrastinating, and busy life and what not. I feel like you guys are getting tired of the busy life excuse, but I'm serious.
Now that's all I have to say for today, tell me what you think of me doing a different story other than Pokemon, and give some feedback.
