RWBY: The Dark Knight of Beacon.
Chapter 1: A close call and an invitation from Ozpin. (Rewritten 6-1-19.)
This will be a harem story.
This will follow the story completely from the beginning, so don't expect a full history explanation at the very start.
Everything will be explained as the story progresses.
Also, this is for my own little enjoyment.
My OC character Will might seem like a Gary Stu kind of person, but only until chapter 12.
RWBY volumes 1 to 3 was where everything was kinda child-friendly and barely had any problems.
Everything after that is where things started getting serious.
Meaning that when chapter 13, which starts vol 4 off, my OC character will change and take things more seriously.
Summary...
During the attack by Roman Torchwick in the first episode of RWBY, Ruby Rose is rescued by a mysterious warrior who forces Torchwick and his minions to retreat.
Before Ruby can thank him, the warrior vanishes.
After she arrives at Beacon, a mysterious figure is spotted at the assembly.
Ruby soon learns he is the same person who saved her from before.
He soon becomes an ally of Team RWBY.
What's more, Blake and Yang are soon taken with him, but is he friend or foe?
Let's find out!
It was a dark night in the quiet city of Vale.
At a shop called 'From Dusk Till Dawn' an old man was checking his sales when the front door opened.
A man with short orange hair dressed in a black and white suit and holding a cane walked in surrounded by other guys in black suits.
The old man was terrified to see him because of some unknown reason.
The orange-haired man spoke in a gentleman-like voice, "Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a dust shop?"
One of his goons raised a gun at the old man who shouted, "No! Wait please! Just take my earnings and leave!"
The man said, "Calm down. We don't want your money."
He said to his men, "Grab the dust."
And with that, the men opened a briefcase holding plastic tubes and went over to a series of dispensers containing various colored dust.
One man went to the far right side of the store to gather more dust.
At one point, he happened to look towards the back of the store and noticed that standing by the magazine shelves was a young 15-year old girl dressed in a red and black dress with a red hood covering her head and her back was turned.
The man pulled out a katana-like sword with a red blade and said, "Alright kid. Put your hands where I can see 'em."
No response.
The man repeated, "Hey! I said hands in the air!"
No response.
The man became irritated and walked over saying, "You got a death wish or something?!"
He reached over and pulled on the girls hood to get her attention.
It worked, because as the hood fell off, the girl turned around saying, "Huh?" which revealed that she had short reddish-brown hair and silver eyes.
Only now did the man realize that her ears were covered with headphones and she was listening to music which was why she didn't answer him before.
The man gave a gesture to the girl to remove her headphones which she did and asked in an innocent voice, "Yes?"
The man replied, "I said put your hands in the air now!"
The girl asked in the same innocent voice, "Are you robbing me?"
The man snorted, "YES!"
"Ah!" the girl replied with a smug look.
At the front of the store, the orange-haired man heard a scream before one his men crashed to the floor with a thud.
He quickly sent another guy to deal with whatever happened.
The second black suit ran over and pointed a gun at the girl yelling, "Don't move!"
Outside the store...
There was a loud crash as the front window shattered and the girl flew out into the street.
The robbers and their leader gathered at the window to see what happened.
As the girl stood up, they noticed that resting on her shoulder was a large, strange black and red contraption that quickly transformed into a giant, deadly looking scythe with a 6-foot shaft and a 4-foot long blade which included the 12 inch long metal hook blade at the back along with a rifle mechanism in the shaft!
The orange-haired man's eyes twitched at the weapon.
The girl smirked at the men before twirling the weapon like a master and slamming it into the ground which signaled, 'Come and get me if you can.'
The leader said to his goons like it was obvious, "Okay. Get her."
All the men obeyed, but surprisingly, the girl took them all down in seconds like a champion martial artist!
As the last man went down, the leader said quietly, "You were worth every cent. Truly you were."
He suddenly heard the sounds of sirens going off and decided it was time to bail.
So he raised his cane revealing that it too had a gun mechanism and said, "Well Red, I think we can all say this has truly been an eventful evening. And as much as I'd love to stay and chat, I'm afraid that this is where we must part ways."
He pulled the trigger and fired at the girl who easily dodged the blast and the explosion that followed.
When the girl stood up, the man was nowhere to be seen.
She looked around everywhere until she saw him climbing up a ladder to the roof of a nearby building and asked permission to pursue which the store clerk approved.
In the air...
High above the city, a large plane was flying over head.
The plane was a large troop carrier cargo plane, there were only 2 people on board, a man and a woman.
The woman was at the controls while the man was waiting for the correct moment.
The woman was wearing a pilot suit while the man wearing a black jumpsuit.
It wasn't skintight, but it covered most of his body.
He was also wearing a black helmet over his head, black gauntlets on his arms, a vest of armor with a strange looking rectangular built-in device on the back, pads over his shoulders, and a heavy-duty protector over his crotch.
His feet were covered in high-top military style boots that had black metallic coverings designed to protect the feet, the shins, and the knees.
Finally, he had two guns with him, one on the right hip and another just a few inches behind the first.
He picked up what looked like a jet pack and strapped it to his back.
The woman said, "We're 10 seconds from the target."
The man said, "That's close enough. Time for deployment. Get ready Miria."
With that, he walked to the back of the plane and opened the deployment hatch, ready to begin.
The woman, now identified as Miria, put the plane on auto-pilot and followed the male to the back so that she could close the hatch when the male was gone.
Trailing down his back was an odd looking backpack that had been built and integrated into his suit.
Miria said, "Are you sure you really want to do this? You do realize that this man is the most wanted criminal in the whole continent, right? Not to mention, he's armed and extremely dangerous!"
The male said from under his mask, "Doesn't matter. If he's killed or escapes, we won't find out who his contacts are or who he's working for."
Miria said, "Regardless, you need a plan of attack."
The man said, "I have a plan: 'Attack.' and with that, he dove out of the plane.
Miria could only watch as a pair of rocket boosters blasted from the device on his back, allowing him to fly down towards the target.
Miria sighed as she closed the hatch.
On the building rooftop...
The girl pursued the orange-haired robber to the roof.
She thought she had him cornered until a large plane appeared and he smirked.
When all of a sudden...
POW!
From out of nowhere, the girl could only watch as a huge dark shadow appeared and kicked the robber to the floor of the rooftop!
When she regained her focus, she could see that the shadow was a masked individual dressed in a black jumpsuit, tactical boots, and armor plates.
Attached to both sides of the person's waist were 2 objects that looked like weapons, but from a distance, it was hard to be sure.
The last thing she noticed was that the person was wearing a black metallic helmet that covered the head and looked like something from sci-fi.
There was a vent port in the front for breathing and red glowing eye ports.
The robber looked at the person who hit him and became enraged, "You again?! When are you gonna learn?! You can't defeat me!"
The masked person spoke in a male voice, "This is the end of the line for you pal! There's no escape this time! I'm taking you in!"
The robber grinned and said, "I don't think so!" and raised his cane preparing to fire.
The masked man quickly realized that the robber was aiming at the girl directly behind him!
The girl was too shocked to move!
As quick as a flash, the masked man lunged at the girl and shouted, "GET DOWN!"
By the time the girl registered those words, the masked man had her down on the roof as the shot flew over them and exploded on a building across from them!
The masked man looked up just in time to see his target flying away with a laugh.
"NOOO!" shouted the masked man.
He ran to the edge of the roof and shouted, "I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS YOU DIRT BAG IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO!"
After that, he ran back to the girl and asked, "Are you alright? Are you shot? Have you sustained injury?"
The girl said, "I'm okay. Thank you for saving my life, mister. Sorry for my interference. If it wasn't for me, he wouldn't have escaped."
The man shook his head, "It wasn't your fault. I was so intent on arresting him, I completely forgot you were there and he used that against me. I'm just glad you're okay."
Then they heard a voice say, "You two!"
They turned and saw a blonde haired woman with glasses wearing a black and white dress with a purple and black cape holding what looked to be a common household whip in her hand.
The girl asked, "Who's that?"
The man said, "She's a huntress."
Then he stood up and said, "You're late in case you haven't noticed. The perpetrator escaped. So what do you want now?"
SCENE CHANGE!
Both of them were soon in what looked like an interrogation room with the woman.
The man was standing against the wall.
The girl was in a chair as the older woman said in a very grumpy voice, "I do hope you realize that your actions tonight will not be taken lightly young lady! You put yourself and others in serious danger!"
The girl protested, "They started it!"
The woman ignored her and continued, "If it were up to me, you'd be sent home with a pat on the back..."
The girl smiled.
"...and a slap on the wrist!" finished the woman as she hit the table with her whip, scaring the girl.
The masked man walked over, turned the woman to face him, held her whip down with his right hand, and said calmly, "Weren't you listening or paying any attention? She had nothing to do with what happened back there. Those crooks tried to rob her, she defended herself. Yes, she may have been a little reckless, but she did nothing to warrant getting arrested. If you threaten her again in any way, shape, or form, your superiors are gonna hear from me. In other words, your career is on the line. Need I say more?"
The woman quickly shook her head and pleaded, "No! No! No! Don't do that! I'll keep it under control. I swear!"
The man replied, "You'd better, unless you wanna end up in a lot of trouble."
The woman sighed, "Regardless, there's someone who wants to see you."
The door opened to reveal a short gray-haired man with glasses, wearing a black and green suit.
In his hands were two foam meal carry-out boxes and a bag containing what looked like drinks.
The first thing he said when he saw the girl was, "Ruby Rose."
The little girl, now known as Ruby Rose, was stunned!
The man continued, "You have silver eyes."
Silence.
The man said, "So, where did you learn to do this?" as he pointed to a computer recording of the fight being held in the hands of the older woman.
Ruby answered, "Signal Academy."
The man asked, "They taught you how to use one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed?"
Ruby replied, "Well, one teacher in particular."
The man said, "I see."
He quickly turned to the masked man and asked, "Could you wait there for a few minutes? I wanna speak with you later."
The masked man replied, "Very well."
The man in the suit sat his items on the table and opened one of the boxes to reveal 12 chocolate chip cookies, then he opened the bag, pulled out a small bottle of store bought milk and handed both to Ruby.
As she ate, the man continued, "It's just that I've only seen another scythe wielder of that skill before. A dusty old crow."
Ruby stopped eating and said, "That's my Uncle Qrow. He's a teacher at Signal. I was complete garbage before he took me under his wing, and now I'm one of his greatest students."
The man said, "So I've noticed." then he sat down and asked, "So what is an adorable little girl like yourself doing at a school designed to train warriors?"
Ruby explained, "Well, I want to be a huntress."
The man asked, "You want to slay monsters?"
Ruby nodded, "Yeah. I only have 2 more years of Signal left, then I'm gonna apply to Beacon. My sister's starting there this year, and she wants to become a huntress. I'm trying to become a huntress because I wanna help people. Our parents always taught us to help others, so I thought, 'Why not make a career out of it?' I mean, the police are alright. But huntsmen and huntresses are so much more romantic, and exciting, and really cool! Ya know?"
The woman was looking confused, "What did I just hear?!"
The masked man had a look underneath his mask that said, "This behavior of her's. It reminds me of myself when I was her age."
The old man smiled and asked, "Do you know who I am?"
Ruby's grin widened as she said, "You're Professor Ozpin. Headmaster of Beacon Academy."
The man, now known as Professor Ozpin, smiled and said, "Hello."
Ruby replied, "Nice to meet you."
Ozpin asked her, "Do you want to come to my school?"
Ruby said in anticipation, "More than anything."
After a quick glance at the older woman, Ozpin said, "Well okay."
Ruby was so happy she couldn't even speak!
SCENE CHANGE!
A pair of arms wrapped around Ruby as a great enthusiastic female voice said, "Oh! I can't believe my baby sister's going to Beacon with me! This is the best day ever!"
The voice belonged to a 17-year old girl with long blonde hair, purple eyes, and rather noticeable assets, dressed in rather short clothing.
The older girl in question was Yang Xiao Long, who just so happened to be Ruby's older sister.
Both girls were on an airship."Please stop!" groaned Ruby as Yang released her hold and giggled, "But I'm so proud of you!"
Ruby said, "Really sis, it was nothing."
Yang replied, "What do you mean?! It was incredible! Everyone at Beacon's gonna think you're the Bees Knees!"
Ruby said in protest, "But I don't want to be the Bees Knees! I don't wanna be any kind of knees! I just wanna be a 'Normal girl' with normal knees."
Yang asked, "What's with you? Aren't you excited?"
Ruby answered, "Of course I'm excited. My problem is I got moved ahead 2 years. I don't want people to think I'm special."
Yang put her arm around Ruby's shoulder and said, "But you are special."
A nearby television screen announced, "The last robbery was perpetrated by nefarious criminal 'Roman Torchwick' who continues to evade capture."
The screen showed a felony photo of the man which was the same man that Ruby fought.
The screen disappeared and a holographic image of the woman who was with Ozpin appeared and said, "Hello, and welcome to Beacon. My name is Glynda Goodwitch. You are part of a select few chosen to attend this prestigious academy. Our world is in a time of peace, and it is our job to train you as future huntsmen and huntresses to make sure it stays peaceful." then she was gone.
Ruby and Yang raced to the window to see the city below.
2 hours later...
The airship finally landed and the students disembarked.
They were greeted with an amazing sight to behold.
Even Yang was impressed, "The view from Vale's got nothing on this."
A new student walked to the left causing Ruby to go chibi as she giggled with excitement, "Sis! That kid's got a collapsible staff!"
Another student walked to the right causing Ruby to giggle, "Oh! And She's got a fire sword!" as she began to move away.
But Yang pulled her back by her shirt collar causing her to go, "Ow! Ow!"
Yang replied, "Easy there little sister. They're just weapons."
Ruby spoke up, "Just weapons?! They're an extension of ourselves! They're a part of us! Oh, they're so cool!"
Yang asked, "Well, why can't you swoon over your own weapon? Aren't you happy with it?"
Ruby opened her scythe and answered, "Of course I'm happy with Crescent Rose! I just really like seeing new ones. It's like meeting new people, but better."
Yang replied, "Ruby, hun, why don't you go try and make some friends of your own?"
Ruby asked, "But, why would I need friends when I have you?"
Yang quickly said, "Actually my friends are here now. I'll see you later. Bye!" and ran off with some random students.
Ruby began muttering, "Wait! Where are you going? Aren't we supposed to go to our dorms? Where are our dorms? Do we have dorms? I don't know what I'm doing."
Ruby was so dizzy she fell and knocked some suitcases off a trolley.
"What are you doing?!" shouted a rather bossy girl voice.
Ruby looked up shouting, "Sorry!" and saw that the girl was wearing a white and red dress, had her silver hair done up in a pony tail, and had what looked like a rapier sheathed across her back.
Said girl snorted, "Sorry?! Do you have any idea of the damage you could've caused?!"
Ruby tried to retrieve one of the fallen suitcases, but the other girl snatched from her and said rudely, "Give me that! This is 'Dust' mined and purified from the Schnee Quarry."
Ruby's head was still spinning, making it difficult for her to understand as she said, "Uh...?"
The silver-haired girl removed the cap from the dust vial and snorted, "What are you, brain dead? Dust! Fire, Water, Lightning, energy! Are you even listening to me?! Is any of this sinking in?! What do you have to say for yourself?!"
Some of the dust escaped from it's vial and got into Ruby's nose, resulting in a sneeze that caused an explosion to erupt.
Thankfully, no one was hurt.
The older girl shouted, "Unbelievable! This is exactly what I was talking about!"
Ruby protested, "I'm really, really sorry."
The other girl snorted, "Ugh! you complete dolt!"
Suddenly, they heard a male voice yell, "That is enough!"
They turned and saw a mysterious man with a beige hooded poncho for men standing near them.
The man removed his hood, revealing that his head was bald and smoothly shaved as well as his green eyes which were piercing and held an atmosphere of seriousness.
The man stepped between them, looked at the white haired girl and said in a deep, but calm voice, "I don't know what the fuck your problem is, but what she did back there was an accident. You had no right to treat her like shit over a few dropped suitcases you little brat."
The white haired girl was stunned with how this man was speaking to her and shouted, "Don't you know who I am?!"
The man said, "I know exactly who you are. And I'll tell you something. If I was as rich as you, I could afford some manners. Quit your whining."
Ruby said, "Yeah! I said I was sorry princess!"
The man held up his hand and said, "Don't bother apologizing. It wasn't your fault. It was her's."
The silver-haired girl rolled her eyes, "And how is it my fault?"
The man said, "If I'm not mistaken, this is explosive-type dust, isn't it?"
The girl nodded.
The man asked, "Then, if I remember correctly, explosive-type dust is extremely volatile and highly unstable. Which means that, if mishandled, will result in an explosion that can be dangerous to people and other objects. Not to mention, shaking or throwing dust in people's faces can cause them to sneeze, which can also set off a chain reaction, causing the dangerous properties of the dust to activate. Now tell me, did you know about any of that?"
The silver-haired girl snapped, "Of course I did! Doesn't mean it's my fault!"
The man gave a sinister smirk, "Oh really? You openly admitted to knowing that explosive-type dust is dangerous and unstable. You also admitted to knowing that it can cause an explosion if handled incorrectly. And you admitted to knowing that throwing it in people's faces can cause them to sneeze, causing the dangerous elements in the dust to activate. So, let me ask you this. If you knew about all that, then why did you throw it in that girl's face? Tell me that."
The silver-haired girl blushed with embarrassment, because she was cornered and knew it.
Ruby sneered, "Careless and reckless behavior. Rather unfitting for a princess."
"It's heiress actually." said a voice.
Everyone looked to see a girl with black hair and amber eyes dressed in black and white clothes with a sword on her back and a bow on her head coming up.
The girl clarified, "Weiss Schnee. Heiress to the Schnee Dust Company. One of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world."
The white haired girl, now known as Weiss, boasted, "Finally! Some recognition!"
The black-haired girl continued, "The same company infamous for it's controversial labor forces and questionable business partners."
The man added, "Yup. So very true. The Schnee family is nothing but a bunch of backstabbing liars who work people to death and then sit on their asses with all the money. Fucking dirt bags."
Weiss yelled, "What- How dare- The nerve of-!"
Ruby giggled.
Weiss left with a huff.
Ruby looked up at the man and said, "Thanks for standing up for me."
The man smiled and said in a kind voice, "Don't mention it kid. My name is William. William Joseph Landon. But for short, call me Will."
Ruby replied, "Oh. Hello Will. I'm Ruby Rose. Nice to meet you."
The man, identified as Will, replied cryptically, "This isn't the first time we've met, and it won't be the last. See you inside."
Once again, Ruby was alone.
She sank to her knees and sighed, "Welcome to Beacon."
Seconds later, a hand reached down and a male voice said, Hey, need some help?"
Ruby accepted the hand and found herself staring at a young man who looked to be in his late teens.
He had short blonde hair, blue eyes, a slim athletic build, and a olive tone skin complexion.
He was wearing black boots, blue jeans, a black shirt, brown finger-less battle gloves, white armor plates on his chest and shoulders, orange guards on his arms.
And to top it all off, he had a sword attached to his left hip.
Ruby asked, "Aren't you the guy that threw up on the ship?"
The boy huffed, "Motion sickness is a much more common problem than people let on!"
Ruby laughed sheepishly, "I'm sorry. Vomit-boy was the first thing that came to mind."
The boy snorted, "What if I called you Crater-face?!"
Ruby snapped, "Hey! That explosion was an accident!"
The boy replied, "Well, the name's Jaune Arc. Short, sweet, rolls off the tongue, ladies love it."
Ruby frowned, "Do they?"
The boy, now known as Jaune Arc, said nervously, "They will. That's what my mom always says."
Ruby chuckled a bit and said, So... I got this thing." as she opened Crescent Rose.
Jaune jumped aside and gasped, "Whoa! Is that a scythe?"
Ruby nodded, "It's also a customizable high-impact sniper rifle."
Jaune frowned, "A what?"
Ruby said, "It's also a gun."
Jaune smiled, "That's cool."
Ruby asked, "What have you got?"
Jaune pulled out his sword and said nervously, "Oh. Uh, I got this sword."
Even though Ruby wasn't impressed, she tried to hide it by saying, "Ohhhhhh!"
Jaune continued, "And I've got a shield too!" and demonstrated that with the click of a button, his sheath folded out into a shield.
Realizing that there wasn't very much to say, Ruby replied, "Sorry. I'm really a dork when it comes to weapons. I guess I did go a little overboard in designing it."
Jaune gasped, "Wait! You made that?!"
Ruby nodded, "Of course! All students at Signal forge their own weapons! Did you make yours?"
Jaune sighed, "No. It's a hand-me-down. My great-great-grandfather used it to fight in the war."
Ruby smiled, "sounds more like a family heirloom to me! I like it. Not many people have appreciation for the classics these days."
Jaune smiled a bit, "Yeah. The classics."
As they started walking, Ruby asked, "So, why did you help me out back there in the courtyard?"
Jaune answered, "Eh, why not? My mom always said that strangers are just friends you haven't met yet."
Ruby asked another question, "Where are we going exactly?"
Jaune replied, "I dunno. I was following you.
Both realized that they needed to get inside the building, and needless to say, felt embarrassed.
In the main assembly hall...
After they managed to get in the entrance, Ruby heard Yang shouting, "Ruby! Over here! I saved you a spot!"
Ruby turned to Jaune and said, "Hey. I gotta go. I'll see you after the ceremony." and ran over to her sister.
Jaune protested, "Hey wait!" but Ruby was gone.
He grunted, "Just great! How am I gonna find another nice quirky girl to talk to?!" unaware that a beautiful individual was watching him.
Yang spotted a chance for a tease and said, "So, how's your first date going, little sister?"
Ruby snorted, You mean since you ditched me and I exploded?!"
Yang was confused, "Yikes. Meltdown already?"
Ruby sniffed, "No. I literally exploded a hole in front of the school."
Ozpin stepped up to the podium and announced, "Ahem. I'll keep this brief. You've traveled here today in search of knowledge. To hone your craft and acquire new skills. And when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But, I look among you and all I see is wasted energy in need of purpose and direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this. But, your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step."
Ozpin then moved over to let Glynda Goodwitch speak, "You will gather in the ballroom tonight. Tomorrow is your initiation. Be ready. Dismissed."
After the announcements, the students dispersed and began to check their belongings.
Along the way, the two sisters ran into the same man Ruby met after they arrived at Beacon.
Ruby called out, "Will!"
Will turned around and said, "Hello Ruby."
Yang asked, "Who is this little sister?"
Ruby said, "Yang, this is Will. I met him outside. Will, this is my sister Yang."
Will replied, "Nice to meet you Yang."
Yang spoke, "Well, don't you look handsome? Why not take off that poncho?"
Will replied, "I see no problem with that."
Will removed his poncho, revealing that underneath, he wore a black jumpsuit, armor plates, gloves, boots, a black tactical armor vest, and had what looked like a gun on his right thigh and a second on his left hip.
Ruby's eyes started gleaming at them.
Yang also noticed the device on the back of the torso armor and the 2 gauntlets on his arms.
So she asked, "What exactly are you wearing Will?"
Will answered, "This, Yang, is my battle suit. It might look like a normal jumpsuit, but it's more than that. It's waterproof, flameproof, blade-proof, bulletproof, and bombproof. Yet, it's still flexible enough that is doesn't restrict my movements. Also, it has a temperature control system, so I can where it basically all the time, hot or cold."
Ruby was excited about that while Yang said, "That's cool. But what about your head?"
Will lowered his collar to reveal a metal guard around his neck, then with the press of a button, the guard began to climb up and around his head until it was covered in a metallic black mask that resembled a bat-like head with 2 dark red lenses where the eyes were located.
Ruby thought the mask was cool while Yang felt intrigued.
After he deactivated the mask, Will spoke, "As for the device on my back, it's basically a built-in wing pack. If I'm in a situation where I have to jump from a very high elevation, the wing pack allows me to glide safely and silently to the ground. All I have to do is say ,"Deploy." and the wings expand, allowing me to glide. When I land, I say, "Retract." and the wings retract."
Both girls were impressed, especially Ruby, who was giggling in excitement.
Yang asked, "Can we see your weapons?"
Ruby was eager to see that as well.
Will showed that he carried 3 guns on him.
The first one was called 'Vulcan.'
The other was called, 'Vector Nebula.'
The 3rd was a back-up folding handgun attached to the underside of his right-hand gauntlet.
Ruby was awestruck at the weapons as was Yang.
Will also revealed that the 2 gauntlets on his arms were weapons too.
His right-hand gauntlet also contained a small retractable grappling hook with 500 feet of steel wire which allowed Will to swing over the rooftops or entangle an enemy.
His left-hand gauntlet carried a 100,000 volt stun system to incapacitate attackers, as well as multiple compartments that contained miniature small flash-bangs, smoke bombs, and tear gas grenades that he carried with him.
The sister's were at a loss for words, here was a man who was prepared for just about anything.
Suddenly, Ruby gasped, "Hey! You're the man who saved me that night during the robbery!"
Will smiled, "You figured it out."
Yang asked, "What are you talking about sis?"
Ruby relayed the story about what happened the night of the robbery to Yang.
Yang was stunned and replied, "Well! You have my thanks for saving my sister."
Will said, "You're welcome."
Ruby asked, "Why are you here at Beacon, Will?"
Will replied, "Well, here's what happened...
Flashback...
After Ruby left the room, Professor Ozpin called the masked man in.
Once they were seated, Ozpin spoke up, "You can remove that mask now. There are no criminals here."
The man did so, revealing himself to be Will.
Ozpin handed Will a soda and a foam food container with cheese pizza in it which Will greatly accepted.
Then, the conversation began.
Ozpin asked, "Can you tell me your name young man?"
Will replied, "William Joseph Landon."
Afterward, Ozpin pulled out a data-pad and looked up Will's profile.

Facial description...
Bald head, hazel green eyes, olive tone complexion.
Clothing description...
Sometimes, he can be seen wearing casual civilian clothing, but don't be fooled.
Because underneath, he wears black gloves, black boots, and a black jumpsuit, all of which were built for combat and feature some of the newest state of the art technology from Atlas.
The suit itself is made of 3 materials: cotton, spandex, and aramid.
The cotton, which is a liner for the inside of the suit, provides a layer of comfort and prevents chafing.
The spandex, which is flexible, not only conforms to the body, but also serves as a compression pad to stop bleeding, does not hinder any movement, and also acts like an artificial control system for keeping body temperature at a moderate level.
The aramid, which was synthetically woven to be 5 times stronger than steel, is located on the outside of the suit, double-layered, fully colored in black, aside from the chest symbol which is gray, and also functions like the spandex in terms of flexibility and temperature control.
Together, these 3 materials make the suit comfortable, light-weight, form-fitting, flexible, durable, waterproof, fireproof, bulletproof, blade-proof, bomb-proof, and even acid-proof, creating what he views as the ultimate fighting suit.
Armor and accessories:
A helmet that folds up, contains battery cells, scanning and monitor systems, which Will wears to protect his head.
A thick vest with a retractable wing pack covers his torso.
A thick durable armored brief is used to protect his crotch and has a built-in utility belt that holds ammo clips for his guns.
His combat boots are knee-high and have caps to protect the knees.
Also has a custom-built booster pack for flying and pursuing enemies, but rarely uses it.
Primary weapon: Vector Nebula.
This weapon is designed to be multi-functional.
Weapon is carried in a holster on Williams right hip.
At first glance, it looks like a Glock model 18 handgun, but there's a few major differences.
The chamber, barrel, and grip are larger and wider, there's a reason for that.
The second big difference is that there's a large wedge protruding from the back of the gun with a blue wingspan emblem decoration on the left and right side.
The third big difference is a large gas tube that runs beneath the main barrel and has an exhaust port on the left and right sides of it, there's a reason for that also.
The fourth difference is that there's a black hand guard that runs down from the front of the gun and connects to the bottom of the grip.
The dimensions are as follows...
Barrel and chamber: 7 inches long from back to front, 1 and 1/2 inches long from left to right, and finally, 1 and 1/2 inches tall from top to bottom.
Grip: 2 and 1/2 inches long from back to front, 1 and 1/2 inches wide from left to right, and 4 inches tall from top to bottom.
The weapon was designed to accommodate and fire the 5.7 millimeter round which is known for its range, accuracy, and penetration power.
Because of a selective-firing switch, the weapon is capable of semi or fully-automatic gunfire.
Because of this, the force generated from the round means that the pressure is significant enough that, regardless of environment or conditions, the weapon has little to no chance of suffering a catastrophic jam of any sort.
Of course, it is well known that this type of mechanism in a pistol creates a fundamental problem, because the excessive movement combined with the constant recoil from the gunfire tended to force the weapon upwards which greatly decreased the operators chances of scoring a direct hit.
Thankfully, the 2 exhaust ports on the gas tube beneath the barrel serve as a means for the pressurized gas behind the bullets to escape, thus reducing the recoil on the gun.
Therefore, because the recoil is significantly reduced, this keeps the weapon stabilized, allowing the user to stay on target.
Plus, the weapons frame is made of polymer which makes it lighter and easier to control.
The weapon has 4 different modes and includes a set of customized accessories which are necessary to achieve some of the modes.
The accessories are, an extended magazine clip that measures 14 and 1/2 inches from top to bottom with a black wedge cap on the bottom, and last but not least, a 10-inch silencer.
The silencer is stored in it's own little carrying pouch on Wills utility belt.
There's also 4 individual magazines containing 33 rounds of ammunition each, all of which are stored in special clamps located on the front of Wills chest plate, 2 on the left and 2 on the right.
Mode 1: Default mode.
This is the weapons standard mode before and after every battle.
In this mode, the weapon sits in its holster, completely inactive until the time comes.
Mode 2: Machine pistol.
This is Vector Nebula's second form.
In this mode, the weapon is removed from the holster and a magazine is inserted.
This mode is ideal for medium-range combat in a gunfight and easy to maneuver in tight spaces.
Also, if Will is able to close the distance, he can use the weapons hand guard to beat the enemy into submission.
Mode 3: Sub-machine gun.
This is the 3rd form of Vector Nebula.
This is where the semi-automatic firing setting is most useful.
The weapons hand guard can disconnect from the barrel and transform into a butt stock which provides even more stability and helps keep the gun steady to allow for better aim.
When attached, the silencer serves two purposes.
1: Dampens the sound of the gunfire.
2: Artificially lengthens the barrel by 10 inches which allows for better accuracy and longer range.
Depending on the severity of the situation, between the silencer and the hand guard/butt stock, the user might use one or both of them if necessary.
Note: The magazine must be removed before the hand guard can transform into the butt stock.
This mode is ideal for undercover operations, infiltration, sniping, killing heavily armed enemies or large Grimm, and long-range combat.
Mode 4: Sword.
This is the final form of Vector Nebula.
This mode is achieved by the following actions.
1: By pressing a switch located at the back of the weapon where the wingspan decoration is located, the ejection hatch at the top of the gun opens up even more.
2: By holding down the same switch as before, the magazine can be pushed up even further until its bottom cap collides with the weapons grip, which results in half of the magazine protruding from the top of the chamber while the other half is hidden within the grip.
3: As soon as the magazines bottom cap makes contact with the grip, a spring-loaded mechanism is activated.
4: Once the spring-loaded mechanism kicks in, the magazine clip artificially lengthens itself by 5 inches, bringing it to a total of 19 and 1/2 inches, 12 of which can be seen protruding upwards through the top of the chamber.
5: After the magazine is done lengthening itself, a pair of twin blade pieces, each one measuring 12 inches in length, plus 1 and 1/2 inches from back to front, will emerge and then link together from left to right in order to fork a single solid piece that measures a total of 24 inches.
When all is said and done, the user is holding a single-edged, 30-inch sword that looks like a cross between a calvary Saber and a katana.
Because of its narrow profile and short length, it's lighter, faster, easier to wield, and able to work in tight spaces.
Also, the weapons hand guard can be used in this form as well.
The blade is divided into two halves.
The lower half is dull on all sides and is also the thickest half because that's where all the blocking takes place.
Whereas the upper half is used for the attack.
The blade is sharp on one side and ends with a sharp angle instead of a curved edge.
This allows for greater stabbing power and extreme slashing power.
Slashing, stabbing, and bludgeoning, 3 ways to kill with.
All in all, Vector Nebula is a weapon made for ultra high-risk situations like hostage rescue, fighting heavily armed and dangerous enemies, or taking down big Grimm.
The weapon is carried in a holster attached to Will's right hip.
Now one would think that transforming the weapon would be a potential death trap due to timing.
But Will's evasion skills allow him to escape, and take cover, allowing him enough time to transition between weapon modes.
Secondary weapon: Vulcan.
A large 16-inch revolver that transforms into a 20-inch serrated trench knife with a built-in stun system.
Gun was modified to hold and fire 5.7 x 28 millimeter rounds.
Ammo cylinder carries 6 bullets.
This weapon is designed to handle low-level threats.
Weapon is carried in a holster that rests a few inches behind Vector Nebula's holster.
Additional weapons.
Right-hand gauntlet contains 500 feet of retractable steel wire connected to a high-powered spring-loaded grappling hook for escaping, evasion, and capturing enemies. As well as a folding back-up handgun for additional firepower which carries 20 rounds, 9 millimeter.
Left-hand gauntlet carries a 100,000 volt stun system, as well as gas grenades, flash bangs, and smoke bombs which are used to blind, disorient, and incapacitate attackers.
Strengths.
Peek physical and mental condition.
Immensely strong and extremely agile.
Extensive knowledge of strategies and military tactics.
Master of marksmanship, swordsmanship, and trench knife combat.
Brilliant computer skills.
Trained by retired military veterans and Strider agents, making him a superb martial artist and hand-to-hand combatant.
Weaknesses.
Although usually successful during his nightly missions, his own self-confidence can sometimes put him in life-threatening situations that he can't escape without help.
Also, William finds it difficult to accept failure.
Should things go horribly wrong, his concentration can quickly slip away from him, leaving him sloppy and imprecise.
Semblance.
Complete control over the wind which allows for prolonged flight and makes it almost impossible for incoming attacks to hit him.
Personality.
Appears to be intimidating and vicious, but is calm, calculating, and a master strategist.
Can be calm and caring one minute, then brutal and aggressive the next.
Although he seems dark and intimidating, he has a heart of gold and cares deeply for his friends and family.
Background.
Grew up in a remote region of Vale.
William had a rather uneasy childhood.
His grandfather died when he was 8, then his father disappeared, leading to a subsequent divorce between his parents shortly after.
His mother was a devoted woman who worked as a doctor to provide for her 3 children.
Will's biggest problem was having to constantly watch over and protect his 2 younger brothers.
He was often ridiculed and tormented because of his tendency to panic when something unexpected happened.
This usually led to a lot of fights.
When he was 10, the White Fang revolt erupted.
After that, he and his family relocated to his grandmothers country estate.
The estate was a retirement gift she had received from her service in the military.
After moving in with his grandmother, Will decided to become a huntsman/crime-fighter.
After 6 years of intense training, he became one of the best crime-fighters in all of Vale and won the respect of many authority figures.
More importantly, since his father's disappearance has never been solved, Will knows it could be an endless struggle to find him.
Until then, he continues to fight to make sure no one else suffers the collateral damage of random crime and senseless violence.
Hobbies.
Music, video games, fighting, camping, exercising, and hang-gliding.
Feats and accomplishments.
Busted an international group of jewel thieves.
Laid waste to 1000 Grimm in less than 5 hours which earned him the nickname, 'Slayer of 1000 Grimm.'
Survived multiple encounters with Torchwick.
Thwarted an assassination attempt on the royal family of Vale.
Successfully rescued 33 hostages from a group of terrorists.
Captured 17 escaped criminals.
Fought Winter Schnee to a standstill.
Escaped a bomb attack from the White Fang.
Stopped an airship from crashing into the ocean.
Once the reading was done, Ozpin stated, "William Joseph Landon. Your skills and exploits are legendary and you've only been doing this for 2 years. Where did you learn how to do all this?"
Will answered, "I learned half of it myself, the other half, I learned from experts."
Ozpin asked, "Could you please elaborate?"
Will said, "I grew up with not a lot of money. I was living with my mom. My parents got divorced when I was 8 years old. My father was a kind and supportive man, but he was hardly ever home. And then one day, he just disappeared. My mother was a doctor who worked part-time at a hospital and earned a decent salary. I had to be extremely diligent in taking care of my 2 younger brothers. But don't get the wrong idea. My mother, great woman. Never missed a holiday, never missed a birthday party, or a chance to take us out to dinner or the movies. Never missed a day of work. Never missed a house payment or a tax payment. I never went hungry. Although she did a couple of times and bounced a few checks at the grocery store, so I wouldn't. When I was 10, the White Fang revolt broke out, and we were forced to relocate somewhere else. Faced with little to no options, we moved to my grandmothers country estate. It was there that I began my training. By the time I was 12, I was a master in swordsmanship, trench knife fighting, and hand-to-hand combat. By the time I was 14, I was a master marksman and gymnast. After my 14th birthday, I trained with retired paratroopers, bungee jumpers, and special OPS soldiers from the Strider Agency of Vale. They taught me how to hang-glide, how to use grappling hooks, how to infiltrate, how to live off the land and battle tactics. And I learned it so well that when I was 16, I became a crime-fighter and started protecting innocent people. Now, I'm 18 and criminals are afraid of me."
Ozpin asked, "I can understand having a machine gun. But what's the deal with having a revolver as your secondary weapon?"
Will said, "Cylinder-type revolving pistols. In my opinion, the best type of handgun. They're crude, cheap, and stamped out. There's nothing really exotic about them. Because they're stamped, the tolerance on those things is extremely loose. Which means you can abuse those things a lot and they gonna continue to work."
Ozpin nodded with understanding, "That makes sense. Another thing I'd like to know is what type of design did you model your sword after? For a huntsman of your caliber, I would assume that a broadsword would make a much bolder statement."
Will smirked, "I designed it to be a mix of sorts, combining the grip of a calvary Saber with the blade of a straight katana. It's designed to stab, slash, and bludgeon. That gives you options on the battlefield. When you've got options, it gives you the edge."
Ozpin was a little stunned, "So, in other words, you chose a combination for the purpose of battle-effectiveness?"
Will nodded, "Exactly."
Ozpin asked, "Why did you model your secondary melee weapon around the classic trench knife?"
Will answered, "The trench knife is one of the most formidable and effective weapons ever produced for close combat. You can use it to block bladed weapons, punch it out of the way, and then use the pommel to beat the enemy into submission. Or use the blade as a more lethal option if needs be.
Ozpin was impressed, "Do you know who I am?"
Will replied respectfully, "Yes. You're Professor Ozpin. Headmaster at Beacon Academy."
Ozpin smiled, "Hello."
Will said, "Nice to meet you."
Ozpin asked, "Do you want to come to my school?"
Will said, "I've wanted to. But Beacon Academy is one of Vale's most prestigious training schools. I doubt I could ever afford it."
Ozpin replied, "This is a personal invitation from me. No payment required. My school could help develop your skills even more."
Will answered, "I accept your invitation sir. It's an honor to be accepted into your tutelage."
...end flashback.
Yang and Ruby were at a loss for words.
What they did not know was that Will only said that to satisfy their curiosity.
The real reason he joined was far more important, but he couldn't tell them.
Will replied, "See you later." and left, leaving the 2 girls stunned.
Later that night...
All the students were in the ballroom until living arrangements could be made.
Yang was wearing black biker shorts and a yellow tank top.
She plopped down by her sister and said, "It's like a big slumber party."
"I don't think dad would approve of all the boys." said Ruby who was wearing a black sleeveless shirt with a rose on it and white pajama pants covered in roses, and was presently writing something in a book.
"I know I do." Yang purred seductively as she was focused on all the boys walking around shirtless.
Jaune walked by humming and wearing blue pajamas with matching bunny slippers.
He stopped, looked at Yang and sneered, "Hmm!"
Yang frowned disapprovingly, then looked at Ruby's little book and asked, "What's that?"
Ruby replied, "A letter to the gang back at Signal. I promised to tell them all about Beacon and how things are going."
Yang giggled, "Awww! That is so cuuuuute!"
Ruby threw a pillow at her and snorted, "Shut up! I didn't get to take my friends with me to school. It's weird not knowing anyone here."
Yang recovered and asked, "What about Jaune? He's... nice. There you go! Plus one friend! That's a 100 percent increase!"
Ruby sighed, "I suppose Weiss counts as a negative friend. Back to zero."
Yang said, "There's no such things as negative friends! You just made one friend and one enemy."
Ruby's answer was to throw another pillow at her.
Yang replied, "Look, it's only been one day. Trust me. You've got friends all around you. You just haven't met them yet."
Then they heard a snap and looked across the room to see a black-haired girl in a short black and white kimono sleeping robe sitting by a small table with a candlestick on it.
The girl was sitting quietly, and reading a book.
Ruby recognized her and said, "That girl..."
Yang asked, "You know her?"
Ruby smiled, "Not really. She saw what happened this morning, but left before I could say anything."
Yang said, "Well, now's your chance!"
Yang grabbed Ruby by her arm and pulled up along with her as she squeaked, "Wait! Wh-what are you doing?!"
Against Ruby's pleas, Yang dragged her over to the black-haired girl.
The indistinct chatter from the sisters interrupted the girl's reading.
Yang spoke up, "Hello! I believe you 2 might know each other."
The girl recognized Ruby and said, "Aren't you that girl who exploded earlier?"
Ruby answered, "Um, yeah. My name is Ruby. Ruby Rose." as she held out her hand.
The girl didn't shake Ruby's hand.
Instead, she went back to her book and said casually, "Okay."
Yang, wanting to make conversation, asked, "So, what's your name?"
The girl sighed in slight irritation and said, "Blake. Blake Belladonna."
Yang laughed a bit and said, "Well Blake, I'm Yang. Ruby's older sister. I like your bow. It goes great with your pajamas!"
The girl, now known as Blake, replied dismissively, "Right."
Yang asked, "Lovely night, isn't it?"
Blake looked up and said in a flat voice, "Yes it is. A lovely night for my book. Which I will continue reading. Once you leave me alone."
Yang shook her head, "This girl's a lost cause."
As Yang turned to leave, she turned towards the doorway, and saw something that made her eyes widen!
Ruby noticed and turned her head to look, only to have her mouth hanging wide open at the sight.
Stepping into the room was Will, wearing nothing, but black sandals and a pair of black knee-length workout pants that were just barely able to fit him.
Yang was drooling at his body, which in the glare of the moonlight, clearly put all the males to shame.
William Joseph Landon had what could only be described as the body of a powerful gladiator from Ancient Greece.
Powerful arms, broad shoulders, chiseled legs, a bulging chest, and a ripped 8-pack abdomen, sinewy muscles lining every inch of his body.
It was the perfect combination of a muscled warrior combined with the flexibility of an olympic-level athlete.
Being a crime-fighter, or a huntsman of any sort, was a physically demanding occupation that required the individual to be in peek physical condition.
In Will's case, powerful body structure, continuous training, and repeated use of his skills on a daily basis made him as physically strong as a greek warrior.
Many of the guys could only stare in shock and envy at the powerfully built individual who stood before them.
A lot of girls on the other hand were blushing like crazy at the walking mountain of muscle that was now standing in the room.
Especially Blake.
Will walked over to an empty spot on the floor, unrolled his sleeping bag, and began to settle in for the night.
He turned and saw Yang laying in a rather suggestive way as she looked at him with a predatory grin on her face.
"You really know how to get a woman's motor running, don't you muscle man?" said Yang in a sultry voice.
Will just smiled and said, "You're one to talk, blondie. Always turning boy's heads with that skimpy clothing of your's. HA!"
Yang put on a face as if she was playfully jealous.
Will continued, "Well, you know, they say blondes have more fun. Unfortunately, they also have more V.D. Just kinda goes with the territory, you know?"
Yang knew what he meant and couldn't help but laugh while gasping at the meaning of his joke.
Eventually, she calmed down, crawled over to Will, and tried to trace his chest with her fingers, but he stopped her with his hand and grinned as he said, "Excuse me. But I barely even know you. So don't even go there Yang. But, if you wanted me to be your little cuddle buddy, all you had to do was ask. Okay?"
Yang blushed in embarrassment at her actions, then laughed as she got herself under control and said, "Can I please sleep next to you Will?"
Will just smiled and said, "Well alright. But just for tonight."
Yang squealed as she snuggled up next to him in her sleeping bag while Ruby could only shake her head and chuckle at her sister's antics before they all went to sleep.
Tomorrow was their initiation day which Will was looking forward to.
Hope you all enjoyed!
Until next time!
I decided to better improve my character Will, so I spent countless hours scouring the comic book universe, both marvel and DC, looking for better elements to incorporate.
These elements will be revealed as the story progresses.
Many of the weapons that I describe in this story, to see what they look like, go to my profile.
To get a basic understanding of what Will's weapon looks like, look up the Ixa Calibur from Kamen Rider and picture it with a hand guard/folding butt stock and a sliencer.
I don't own Kamen Rider. Saban does.
