To everyone reading this, hello and thank you for reading. I have been a fan of RWBY since it came out and am just now writing this story in honor of Monty Oum's passing. We will never forget you, Monty. You will live on in your work and in our hearts. Because this story has been dedicated to Monty, one of the main characters is the twin sister of Ren, as he is Monty's character. This chapter serves the same purpose as the trailers without the songs since I cannot write them from scratch. I hope you enjoy this story and please review to let me know what you think though I will not be updating soon. Rest in peace, Monty. We love you.
It was pouring rain but even so, a girl was walking in it. Her blue hair was hanging halfway down her back with a single small braid framing her face. Her gray eyes were looking straight ahead, not even bothered by the rain. She wore a white shirt with blue wave designs along the bottom under a black leather jacket, dark blue jeans, white tennis shoes with blue lining and a silver choker with a pendent attached to it, a S engraved into it. She also wore a single white fingerless glove on her right hand and a gray whip attached to her left hip. On her right hip was a white pin with a dark blue whip outline on it. As the girl continued to walk, she reached a field where two unmarked graves were. She stopped in front of the graves and placed two sets of bouquets in front of each on. She suddenly froze as a growl filled the air. Standing up, she turned to see a couple of Ursi approaching her.
"Great, just great." She muttered as she grabbed the whip off of her hip and held it out at her side. One Ursa roared and moved to attack her but the girl dodged and flung out her whip, the end wrapping around the Grimm's arm. She jumped into the air and flipped over the Ursa. As she landed, she pulled as hard as she could, knocking the trapped Grimm into the other. Tightening her grip on her whip, the girl pushed a button and electricity zapped up it, stunning the Ursi. When they went down, she detached the whip before she flung it at both of them, activating her fire Dust as she did so. The two Ursi were engulfed in flames in a matter of seconds and the girl reattached her whip to her hip. She brushed off her jeans and turned around to start walking back the way she came.
A girl with brown hair tipped with dark purple that was shoulder length and hazel colored eyes walked into a warehouse. She wore a dark purple sleeveless shirt with a black six pointed star on the back, white pants which faded to gray at the end, gray combat boots, a white scarf with purple lining, a white cuff on her right wrist and a gold circular pendent with a star engraved into it that ended at her stomach. Slung on her back was a nunchaku tucked into a cylinder shaped case that she could easily reach. When she entered the warehouse, the girl looked around before she looked down at a note she held. It gave the warehouse's address and that was it. Her mother had directed her here for training and now all she had to do was find the machine. For a brief second, the girl's light purple Aura flashed around her and she then started walking again, her eyes training in on everything. Suddenly, a robot activated behind the girl. It was a black soldier and started walking towards the girl. The girl, however, couldn't hear it until her Aura flashed again and at the last second, she raised her hand and stopped the sword it held from cutting her, as she held it in a way so she wouldn't be cut.
"Of course, I'm sent somewhere where I need to test my disability." She muttered before she bent down and kicked the robot's legs out from under it. Reaching behind her back, she grabbed her nunchaku and twirled it in one hand as more robots came online. She recognized the model, of course. It was an older style that her father had invented that were now retired. Quickly, the girl ran forward and jumped back just before a robot could strike her. She then threw one end of her nunchaku at a robot, pushing it over. At the same second, she kicked behind herself, knocking another one over. The robots began to surround her and she quickly tried to assess their weaknesses. Finally, she ran forward and hit each one she could, occasionally using the extra chain she hid to extend her nunchaku to hit more robots in a single try. She avoided the hits they threw back at her easily, until one kicked her back and she fell, having not sensed the attack. She clenched her hand into a fist and told herself to breath before she grabbed her nunchaku again. She stood up, closed her eyes and held both ends of the nunchaku in her hands, allowing her Aura to sink into them. When her eyes opened, they had a purple hint to the irises and a second later, she charged with her Aura causing even more damage than her nunchaku could. She attacked repeatedly and used all of her strength, finishing by jumping upside down in the air, spinning her nunchaku with its extended chain and causing her Aura to rain down, deactivating the robots. Finally, the girl landed on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief, tucking her nunchaku back into its case on her back and picking up the note she dropped. "Next time, send me somewhere where I can get better experience." She muttered as she tucked the note away and walked back out of the warehouse, heading home.
A girl walked through a city street, humming softly to herself. Her long jet black hair had several white streaks in it while it was half pulled back and her pink eyes had a small spark in them. She wore a gray shirt with a light pink lining, white pants, gray shoes, a long white Chinese style robe with light pink lining and flowers along the sleeves and a simple silver chain with a single light pink colored pearl on the end.
"Pearl! Peeeaaaaarrrllll!" A voice called. Smiling, the girl, Pearl, turned and watched as an orange haired girl ran up to her, a black haired boy extremely similar to Pearl following behind her, panting heavily.
"Nora, why did you drag my brother all the way out here?" Pearl asked calmly as she crossed her arms.
"Because the three of us need to go train, duh!" Nora answered as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"Still, you know Ren here doesn't run like that a lot." Pearl said.
"Aw, come on, he's fine! Besides, we were together so he would be fine." Nora said before she added, "But not together-together!" Pearl chuckled as the boy, Ren, straightened up.
"You agreed to this?" Pearl asked.
"Yes, besides she wouldn't let up until we did." Ren said, shooting the smiling Nora a pointed look. Pearl chuckled before she led the way, calling,
"Alright, let's go." The three ended up in a gym with their weapons drawn. While Nora had her hammer/grenade launcher Magnhild and Ren had his pistols StormFlower, Pearl held a white, black and light pink bow she called Guiding Light. The three took their battle stances, ready to test each other. They always did this and right now's training was specifically for Pearl. The girl twirled her bow when Nora blew her whistle, the go for the Lie siblings. Ren began to charge at Pearl but she jumped out of the way at the best possible chance. She pulled the string of her bow back and an arrow made of light formed. She released it and it hit Ren, who barely stopped as it did. Seeing where this was going, Pearl spun Guiding Light and it became a sword. She quickly locked her blade with Ren's pistols and, before he could fire, spun out from underneath, causing the boy to lose one of his pistols. The girl kicked out, pushing her brother towards his pistol which he quickly grabbed and began to fire at his sister with. Pearl started doing back handsprings in order to avoid the onslaught and managed to block a few with her sword. When Ren charged again, however, the girl slipped around him. Seeing this, the boy reached out and grabbed his sister's wrist, spinning her to the ground and she laid on her back. "Not bad." She smirked up at her sibling before she kicked his legs out from under him and jumped up so her foot was on his chest. "But not good enough." She breathed as Nora blew the whistle again. Quickly, Pearl helped Ren up. "You've gotten better." She smiled.
"You have too." Ren smiled down at his sister slightly, something only she and Nora could get out of him.
"My turn!" Nora practically sang as she skipped over to stand in front of Pearl. The orange haired girl took out Magnhild and as soon as Ren blew the whistle, she started firing grenades at Pearl. Quickly, the girl started jumping out of the way, trying to avoid being hit as best as she could. Once she was out of the fire, however, she pulled her bow back and shot at Nora, hitting her side. The Valkyrie girl quickly shifted Magnhild from grenade launcher to hammer and began to swing at the younger Lie. Switching Guiding Light back to sword mode, Pearl took some of her shots back and parried as she fought. Pearl tried to bend down and trip the girl but Nora saw that coming and jumped, shaking her head as if to say 'nuh-uh'. Shaking her head, Pearl started attacking Nora, who blocked the girl's hits pretty well. That is, until she grabbed Magnhild and used her momentum to throw Nora to the mat. "Good job." Nora smiled on the ground. However, as soon as Pearl released Magnhild, she swung her hammer and tripped the girl herself. "But we're still tied." Nora sang as she made Magnhild a grenade launcher again and stood up the second Ren blew the whistle.
"We've still got a lot of work to do." Pearl commented as Nora helped her up.
"We'll do fine as long as we stay together, right Ren?" Nora asked looking at the older Lie sibling. Smiling softly down at Nora, Ren answered,
"Yes, Nora." Pearl simply smirked at the two as they headed out.
A girl stood in a dark forest all alone. Her long shockingly white hair was in a high pony tail and her eyes were a warm yet harsh brown. She wore a completely black shirt with armor on her arms, black pants with a white diamond stamped on the side of her right leg, black leather boots and a black bandana that held her hair out of her face. She walked in pure silence, watching for anything and everything. When she suddenly heard a growl, she whipped a gun out of the holster on her right hip and pointed it at the source. Her face remained impassive as she saw a Beowolf come out. In dead silence, she fired the gun, killing the Grimm. Still walking further, the girl wasn't very surprised when she saw several more Beowolves. She knew they were here, that's why she came after all. Taking out her gun, she let it shift into a blade and quickly shot out at a Beowolf. She attacked it several times in quick succession before she jumped out and attacked another in a similar fashion. She did this repeatedly until there were only a few left. Pushing a button on the blade's hilt, she took out an exact copy of the blade from it and threw it at a Beowolf. As soon as it struck the Grimm, the blade exploded and the Beowolf was gone. Looking at the last two, the girl quickly got rid of them before she continued walking, trying to escape. The noise she had made was trying to draw attention to her which was why she took a different path.
I will never go back. I'll become a Huntress and keep the world safe. The girl swore silently as she crept slowly through the forest towards a new day.
These four very different girls were soon going to come together and find themselves forced to rely on each other and work together. It was the only way they could succeed, after all. And with several new friends by their side, they had a pretty good chance, as long as they worked together to become a team.
