Hello Pkd speaking!
This is my Bionicle/RWBY story taking place during V1 where we incorporate significant amount of Bionicle lore and characters. So the brother god of light is Mata Nui and the brother god of darkness is Makuta Teridax. And the Toa being a group of legendary warriors that existed long before the existence of the maidens and the silver-eyed warriors, with elemental powers making them one of the greatest heroes to exist on Remnant.
The main Bionicle characters in this story is the famed Toa Metru, who will be attending Beacon with RWBY and JNPR in harnessing and learning their Toa powers. Also they will be humans and faunus in the story, so no biomechs.
So here's the first chapter!
A Meeting of the Past and Present
80 A.G.W, July 25
15:23PM
Aircraft enroute to Beacon Academy
Helryx looked out of the viewpoint of the modified V-32 Bullhead VTOL as it carried her to her destination. From inside she could see the vast landscape of Sanus, able to see the seemly never ending Emerald Forest and the bloody-looking Forever Falls. The location would've been a great place to be at if it weren't for the Grimms roaming around. Evil that corrupts beautiful things with their vile presence. She reminded herself to take a break killing off a Grimm horde or two after her upcoming meeting ended, though Ozpin might not like that since he'll need those monsters for the initiation.
Helryx was a 6'4 tall dark skinned woman with a short-cropped dark blue hair, donned in a battered, worned out full-plate armour painted in ocean blue. Attached to her left forearm armour was a shield mechanism where a shield can be popped open for immediate usage or close for concealment and storage. Hanging off her hip was a simple flanged mace coloured in lightish blue with various ancient-looking symbols written around the flanged parts and handle. Her weaponry did not follow the usual mecha-shifting hybrid system used by all hunters and huntresses all over the world, as she was one of the few who still practiced the old fashion way of non-transforming weapons. Old, yet reliable if mastered properly.
Then again, Helryx wasn't' exactly one would call your average huntsman if one knew her hidden background and nature personally or part of her inner circle. For those who worked under and knew her, she was perhaps one of the most powerful beings ever to exist on Remnant. Her influence and power made her something to behold, which is expected for one to lead one of the most secretive organisation dedicated in protecting the world from a great evil, subtle or not.
"M'am, we're approaching Beacon in 3 minutes. Prepare to disembark." The pilot spoke through the intercom.
"Noted." She replied.
After a minute or so passed the woman could see the city of Vale and Beacon academy appearing over the horizon through the viewpoint. Above the sky she saw several few hundred meter long Avenger-class air cruiser floating above the city and academy like a silent, yet awe-inspiring guardian. A dozen years ago, this sight would've brought many citizen to question why it was necessary for it to have a military asset protecting Vale when a militia was sufficient, and fear that something bad was about to come to the kingdom. But after the Skakdi invasion of Vale in 67 A.G.W changed all that when an massive horde of Skakdi followed by numerous Grimm including a dragon laid siege to the city. The attack was repelled thanks to reinforcement from other kingdoms particularly the Atlesian 4th legion, however Vale city was devastated and thousands upon thousands of people died.
The invasion created a public demand for a military organisation to protect Vale better as the militia proved abysmal and the huntsman were few in numbers to effectively protect the city and the kingdom. So the council voted to create the Vale Defense Corp or VDC - much to the protest by the current headmaster of Beacon - a true military force after Vale disbanded foolishly theirs after the Great War. She had some part in the formation of the VDC after convincing the right individual and showing them threats hiding beneath the shadows, waiting to strike at the people of Remnant. Helryx silently chuckled to herself remembering the Ozpin's reaction when he learnt of her role in the VDC's creation, and seeing James ecstatic in helping Vale arm itself and gain a new military partner for Atlas.
She shook herself out of the old memory when she heard the pilot announcing to her through the intercom. "M'am, we're landing in airpad 3 in 3… 2… 1." She felt her stomach slightly lurch when the Bullhead landed on Beacon's airpad. "Opening the bay door."
The side doors of the VTOL opened up to show the outside world before her. She stood up from the seat, slightly tired from the long ride, and disembark the aircraft. She then made her way across the airpad and the academy's courtyard, passing by the occasional students going to their next class or resting in the gardens or conversing with another. Several of them stopped to look at her curious to why a fearsome-looking warrior was at the academy, but weren't curious enough to go ask her personally. Helryx ignored their stares while she continued her way to the CCT tower where her meeting location was about to take place.
Soon she was found herself in a elevator slowly taking its time ascending to the top where the headmaster of Beacon's office was located at. The blue-themed woman thought to the reason why she was called to Beacon academy for this important top-secret meeting. The enemy nearly succeeded in taking the fall maiden's power, but managed to be stopped before they could take a single droplet of the maiden's energy as their own. The bad news was that it came at a cost of one of their best field agent, but the good news was the current Fall Maiden intact physically and mentally, besides some bruises from her fight with her assailants.
The elevator made a ping sound as it reached the top of the office and door shifted to the sides to allow her to enter the office where familiar faces greeted her.
Seated in the headmaster's desk was Ozpin himself with the headmistress Glynda to his left side her face seemly perpetually morphed in a frown, and to the right was a holographic image of General James Ironwood standing straight in a clear militaristic discipline. The left side of the office was occupied by holographic images of the headmaster and headmistress of Shade and Haven: the fierce Raanu Vulcan and the ever so laidback Rajah Aerrow - who replaced Leo Lionheart after he suffered an 'unfortunate' accident with the Dark Hunters. Besides them was the member of Vale's ruling council, Councillor Dume, an aging man in his mid-60s with a hard attitude stemming from his years as a huntsman and knowledge of what was truly happening in the shadows of Remnant. The right side of the office was occupied by two people she was quite familiar with since they helped her personally in several important tasks.
Lhikan and Naho Wera of team LNTN, one of the greatest huntsman team Remnant had to offer. Lhikan stood at a height of 6'1 tall with a muscular tanned body clothed in some sort of black body suit that was covered in red and yellow armour plating along with a pair of two greatswords resting behind his back. The blond man had a roundish face with red eyes and hair reaching down to his chin, and has a small bread growing off his face. Naho stood at the same height but had a slender peach body clothed in a sleeveless cyan shirt and midnight blue jeans with grey waist cape hanging off her waist, and also wore light grey gloves that reached up to her forearm. Similar to her husband, she had some armour covering her torso and upper body, but not enough to impend her mobility. The woman with sky-blue hair, long enough to be tied into a ponytail reaching to her upper back, had a sharp face whose features were enhanced by her warming yellow eyes.
"Lhikan, Naho. It's good to see you again. How long was it we last met?"
"Around a month or so Helryx." Lhikan replied. "Around the time when he received his power."
"Power he's still struggling to master, and a burden he feels he can't uphold." Naho said with a motherly concern. "Even though our son is honoured by the Great Spirit for his power, I see Vakama feel that he isn't worthy."
"Have faith in our son, Naho. It maybe overwhelming at first but he'll grow to understand and accept it." Lhikan assured his wife.
"As I said before, it is the will of destiny and Mata Nui that your son be one of the newest generation of Toa. Your son has an important role to play for Remnant's future." Helryx reminded both of them.
"Ahem, I believe we have an important meeting at hand?" Ozpin interrupted the mini-conversation.
"Yes, the near successful attack on the Fall Maiden." Helryx said. "And one of our owns demise."
Silence was now thick in the room in reaction to the last sentence. Qrow Branwen was one of their best field agent, who gathered vital intel and protected known maidens for the order. He was also known to have a passive-semblance of bringing bad luck to anyone near him, and unfortunately it proved fatal for him as he died protecting Amber.
"Lhikan, do you know who attacked Amber and killed Qrow? You and Qrow managed to save Amber from her assailants, but you and Amber are the only ones to make it out alive." Ozpin asked.
Lhikan stood still, apparently conflicted by what happened a few days ago. "Me and Qrow saved Amber from her assailants, I managed to cut off some woman dressed in red's hand that had a beetle Grimm inside of it. We managed to defeat her subordinates and about to apprehend her… Before reinforcements arrived." He said the last one with a low and angry tone. "Dark Hunters, 3 of them. Eliminator, Krekka, and… Nidhiki." He spat out the name venomously.
"Qrow used to look up to Nidhiki." Ironwood muttered, head facing the ground in respec to a fallen ally.
"Qrow did learnt half of his scythe skills from Nidhiki." Ozpin remarked and looked back to Lhikan. "I presume Nidhiki was the one to slay him?"
Silence was the only thing Ozpin was replied back with which confirmed his suspicion.
"It is a tragedy that we lost Qrow in protecting Amber, but we now know that the enemy has recruited Dark Hunters to their service." Ozpin announced.
"This makes it easier for us to catch them when they're attempting to get to Amber." Ironwood pointed out. "We know the identity of the Dark Hunters so if they set a single foot in Vale, they won't have much place to hide."
"You forget that we still don't know the last identity of Amber's main assailant, who still has the freedom to roam around Vale beneath our notice." Goodwitch reminded Ironwood.
"Well the only thing we know of her is that she lost her right hand." Rajah said.
Rannu then added his piece. "Lhikan, did you saw anymore details that could make her identity much clearer?"
"Well I remember her having bright amber eyes and that's all I can remember."
"The most helpful description of all time." Rajah sarcastically muttered.
"Great, this leads us to nowhere!" Ironwood yelled in frustration. "How can we protect Amber if we don't know who her assailant is?
"James, do remember that we do have her other assailants with us and those Dark Hunters who we can capture and interrogate on who hired them." Ozpin reminded of the brighter side of the situation. "For now, all we can do is increase security around Beacon and keep Amber close to Beacon."
"I'll have my councillors and the police warned of the Dark Hunter problem we have." Dume said with a gruff voice. "If possible have some of VDC units search for them."
"Until we have additional intel of the enemy's next movement, buffing our defense is the only course of action we have." Ozpin concluded. "Besides our maiden problem, we have another thing to be concerned about." Ozpin then stared at Helryx who already know what Ozpin meant.
"The Toa." That one simple word got everybody's attention. "The 6 individuals we have are getting used to their new powers and role they received a month ago. So far many of them seem to be excited and awed by their new powers. If they only knew what they're going to face in the future." Ozpin said the last sentence with a quiet tone.
Everybody else in the room were very quiet. All of them knew the tales of the Toa and their legendary elemental powers, beings who could rival the maidens and the silver-eyed warriors. Their powers gifted to them by the Brother of Light himself, Mata Nui. The individuals Helryx referred to were the first Toa to be chosen in a thousand years after the Toa's disappearance, the cause only known to a handful of chosen individuals.
"Destiny has chosen them, the only thing we could do is to prepare them for their future struggles. If these individuals were chosen as Toas then they have a destiny given by Mata Nui to fulfill." Helyx declared.
"Easy for you to say when you don't have child that has this burden." Naho snarled.
"Naho, calm down. At this point we can't do much but support our son in his journey." Lhikan put a hand on her shoulder to comfort her.
"I just can't have our only son go through this mess." Naho cried out.
"I know, I don't want this to fall on to his shoulder." Lhikan admitted.
"Do not worry Naho, he and others will come to Beacon to be trained by our best for the evil they will eventually face." Ozpin said, sipping a drink of coffee. "Meeting adjourned." He finished and all the holographic figures in the room soon disappeared, and the duo physically in the room made their way to the elevator to go down.
"Around a month or so, we'll have all six gathered here to advance their training as the next generation of Toa." Ozpin remarked. "Thousand years I last saw a Toa, well besides you Helryx."
"I remember the time when the Matoran civilization flourished, the Toa were nearly everywhere protecting the land from danger, before HE ruined everything." Helryx reminisce old memories of the past.
"Even if we lost our home we once loved and cherished, we have the kingdoms to protect and the peace we brought to them. My only hope is that we're strong enough to stop him this time." Ozpin reflected.
End of the first chapter
Ozpin's brotherhood is under the Order of Mata Nui's control.
Qrow is dead, ironically by another scythe user. His death will have a impact on Ruby.
Leo is dead and replaced by another one totally loyal to Ozpin and Helryx.
Lhikan and Naho's design is based of burgrungysaph's design on deviant art. And yes, Vakama is Lhikan's child which I saw it was fitting due to the relation both had in the Legends of Metru Nui movie.
