Author's Note: So I guess I should say that I do not own the excellence that is Rwby that amazing right belongs to Rooster Teeth. So this is the trailer for the first member of my originally created team that I will be inserting into the RWBY universe.
The sun was slowly starting to slip into the horizon as a lone figure ran through the trees of the sprawling forest that dominated the landscape, a lone peak stood out in the distance.
Steven breathed in and out as he ran through the forest, the smell of the wood, dirt, and leaves flowed into his senses, yet something else pricked his senses a storm wasn't far off. It was exhilarating all of the smells and the crisp warm spring air, it was a great night for a run. ' I wonder what Marcus is doing right now?' He thought to himself. He and Markus had a week off before finals week at Point academy and it was the second to last day of their off week.
He lost himself in the music that was blaring into his ears from his earbuds. He had gotten the early release of one of the new Williams songs that was due to come out in a few months. He hummed along as the music swelled along it's climax, barely paying attention to the path he was running on losing himself in the forest and music. The next song played and suddenly the music stopped being replaced with a blaring ringtone. It snapped Steven out of his trance and he flinched, tripping over his feet.
He was able to catch himself before he face planted into the ground, instead he smashed his head into a tree. "Ow." Steven muttered as he fished his scroll out of his pocket. With a quick swipe on the screen it unlocked and MARKUS flashed along the screen then a picture of a smiling teenage boy with bright emerald green hair and grass green eyes. He brought the scroll to his ear, the call connected "How is it going Markus?" Steven question his long time friend. "Not much just pissed that you left for a run and didn't even ask me, but whatever bro." Steven sighed, he could hear the mock anger swelling in his friend's voice. He answered right back "Sorry Marcus I just needed to clear my head, the siblings were out and you were taking another one of your literal two hour bath. So I left Mom and Dad alone and went for a run, okay!". Steve could hear the smile on Markus as he replied with "Okay! Okay, don't get your panties in a bunch. So I'll try to stop taking nice relaxing two hour baths after a stressful semester at Point."
Steven shook his head as he decided to get a jab at Markus "Hey, just saying that if you need to take two hour baths all the time you have some pretty bad girl issues." Markus started to stumble with his words "I.. Uh … Um fine I was just calling to tell you that Mom is probably going to call you, she was not to happy that you forgot to leave a note and she wants to know when you'll be home for dinner." "Okay thanks for the warning see you later."Steven replied. "No problem Steven goodbye."
Steven hung up the scroll and slid it back into his pocket. Taking a deep breath he started to run continuing his run through the forest. The storm that was slowly forming above the forest had started to rain the small water droplets were warm as they slowly started to soak the canopy. He was stopped yet again as his scroll went off again, violently shaking in his pocket. He slowed to a stop pulling his scroll out. This time MOM flashed across the screen, along with a picture of a beautiful woman with long brown hair that framed her face and blue/gray eyes.
When Steven answered the call his mother's energetic voice filled his ear as she greeted him "Hey Honey so were in the Dust are yoú?" Steven chuckled at his mother 'Oh aren't we past this stage Mom" he asked himself before he answered " I'm just on a quick run through the woods near Mt. Tower and don't worry I'll be home for dinner." There was a pause before " Oh, okay just wanted to know, I mean you can't blame me when all I get from my supposedly mature and eldest child is a text that says 'out on a run'-Steven. You know that Lisa told me exactly where she was going, yet her older brother sends a text, your girlfriend whoever she ends up being God bless her, better really like you because I hate to break it to you that is not the best habit…"
Steve felt his cheeks flush at his Mother's antics, "Sorry Ma I just wasn't really thinking about it and don't worry I will definitely be back in time don't worry-" a very audible twig snapped off to Steven's right. "What was that?"he asked quietly to himself yet his mother was anything but, "Well fine Steven can't blame me for being a mother. Anyway I am fine as long as you brought Stormbolt, you did bring it with you right?". All the while she was talking Steven was watching the the bush around him as something or at this point things were circling around him "Oh no" slipped from his mouth and this time his overprotective mother decided to hear him "Steven? Steven?! Steven ?! What's going on is something wrong? Answer me!" He could hear the anger and worry in her voice.
Then a bush rustled and Steven reached for something on his back, "Gotta go Mom love you." "Wait what Steven what's goi-" her voice cut out as Steven hung up the call. Whatever was in the bush decided it was tiered of waiting and lunged for Steven
~The human was so close now, he could almost taste it. He had been out on the border of the pack's territory when he sensed the human scent just the smallest wiff not fear but anger danced on his senses so her alerted the pack and set off. He and five scouts began to track down the human. As they got closer water started to pour down on the forest. They finally found the human, foolish enough to stop and realizing it was being hunted. They slowly surrounded their prey waiting for the moment to strike. Too soon it became too much and he lunged at the human. As it sailed toward its prey anger coursed through its senses and it growled out in hunger but it ended far too soon at hot metal sliced through it raw electricity corsed through it as everything faded~
Steven lowered Stormbolt as the skewered and electrified Beowulf slid off and slowly began to disintegrate into the air. "Another blight of darkness wiped clean from the world" Steven said he quickly went to grab his scroll that had fallen. The screen had cracked and the battery was low 'I have the worst of luck with this crap.'
Howl's pierced through the forest as other Beowolves called for Steven's blood. Cursing he looked at the dead Beowolf "You couldn't be the only one could you!" Soon enough the other Beowolves became very prominent around him. The under brush broke apart the Beowolves' glowing orange-red eyes burned against their midnight black fur contrasting the bright greens and yellows of the forest.
He looked down at his scroll and turned the music on and it picked up from where the playlist left off "Might as well get one last song off of you" the song played through his earphones ( play I May Fall).Steven tightened his grip on Stormbolt readying for a fight as the Beowolves growled.
Two beowolves charged him from the front, the first lunged it's claws reaching out for Steven. He meet it with a vertical swipe as blade met Grimm cleaving the Beowulf in two. It's companion fell into it's place making a swipe at Steven's side, Steven quickly sidestepped, swiping at the Grimm severing its arm off as it went barreling into an poht Beowulf that was circling behind him. They cashed and Steven quickly ran over thrusting his sword into them taking both out at once.
Steven pivoted to his right, facing a charging Beowulf. Jumping out of the way and twisting around the Grimm slicing into it's back multiple times ripping it open . As soon as he landed he slammed down the blade into another's shoulder before ripping it out, stabbing the Grimm in the back finishing it off. More and more Grimm started to pour into the clearing, yet they stayed slightly back almost like they were calculating the situation waiting for the right moment, stacking the odds. After the seconds ticked by they must have been done waiting, " As lightning clashes." he gripped Stormbolt hilt and pulled the 'trigger' activating the Dust charges in the blade. Yellow lightning coursed through and snap along the edge of the blade, the Grimm growled and snapped at the sight of the lightning. Steven shrugged and charged, the first received a clean blow cutting it from shoulder to hip raw electricity arched into the Grimm. Steven quickly moved to the next Beowulf. This next one had started to develop bone plate growth on its back with several small spikes.
Steven thrusted his sword out at the beowulf, it quickly dropped low barely missing being run through before it jumped aiming to sink its jaws into Steven's leg. The bite never happened as Steven's aura took the force of the blow ' damn that was to close.' The beowulf had been knocked back, taking a step behind him Steven brought Stormbolt down on the beowulf's neck severing it.
Turning around he faced three more beowolves, he jumped up bring his feet up as the collided with the beowulf's head launching Steven into the air and it in to the ground. The other two grim leaped up to meet him in the air. Steven threw Stormbolt at one of them skewering it as it slammed back into the ground. The wind ripped at his face the storm picking up as he and the other grimm clashed into each other grappling for control. Thunder boomed as the ground rushed up to meet them, steven forced his legs up between them and pushed send the Grimm up just as the sky broke apart when lightning flashed consuming the grimm. Setting himself into a roll he quickly stood up and solid ground. Spotting his sword still in the dead beowulf he rushed to it another grimm rushed for him at the same time from behind. As soon as his fingers wrapped around the hilt he twisted around bringing it upon the grimm ending it as it cut it in half. Twisting around he came face to face with a bone plated snout, immediately swiping low Steven's sword slammed into the beowulf in front of him but not before it had picked him up and tossed Steven to the other side of the clearing right into a tree.
The wind was knocked out of Steven even with his aura shielding him as he landed on his hands and knees. Rising up to his feet he didn't stay there long as a beowolf dive bombed him. Steven barley had a moment to raise his sword up it impale the beowulf as it brought them down. Steven quickly rushed to push it off of him and stood up. Tweleve or so beowolves were surrounding Steven in a circle slowly closing in. Across the clearing a growl sounded out as the largest beowulf Steven had ever seen. It was humungeous, bones plateded its cheast and head, spike jutted out of its back and at the arms and knees. Its gaze pierced Steven giving him a chill up his spine.
With a simple bark the beowolves surrounding Steven backed away and the two beowolves flanking the 'Alpha' charged at Steven. He pressed a switch on the pommel of Stormbolt and it began to transform, the hilt folded on a axis becoming a handle the pommel becoming the trigger guard. The mechanisms above the pommel and along the blade began to split the blade in have part of it folded and became a stock, the rest became the barrel and barrel guard. It finished and Stevens held in his hand a compact rifle. He smirked before he shouldered stormbolt and aimed at the close of the charging beowolves and squeezed the trigger.
Bright yellow flashed twice from Stormbolts muzzle the custom high density lightning dust laced ammunition smashed into its target, blowing the beowulf's head in half. Stevens moved on to his next target pulling the trigger again blasting the second grimm. With that the other beowolves lost it and they charged him. Steven quickly began to pivot on his left foot aiming at the beowolves as quickly as he could the the comforting kick of the recoil on his shoulder. He ducked down as a grimm went sailing over him, dropping on one knee he quickly aimed and pulled the trigger but nothing happend. The beowulf on the other hand quickly corrected itself and ran for Steven, as he rushed to reload. As he clicked in the new ammunition cartridge the beowulf tried to tackled him but it was met with the stock of Stormbolt being slammed into it knocking it to the side. Standing he dispatched the grimm with a pull of the trigger.
An ear piercing howl sounded out from behind him. Steven snapped around just in time to make eye contact with the now charging "Alpha". He quickly pulled the trigger three times, the rounds glanced off of the the "Alpha's" bone plates. It covered the short distance between it and Steven in a second, it reached out almost as if was to embrace Steven it's claws searching for the kill. Steven dodge twisting around to the right. Quickly righting himself he activated Stormbolt again the weapon transforming back into a sword. The "Alpha" turned around and they charged each other yet again. Metal clashed with claw as they wrestled each other for control of the fight. The much larger beowulf stood to its full height a good two feet above Steven, it pushed Steven into the Ground until it was completely over him. Steven braced his other hand on the blade trying to push it off of him as the blade pushed against the "Alphas" neck. It viciously snapped its jaws a few inches from Steven's neck. He pulled the trigger on Stormbolt activating the Dust charges and focused his semblance into the lightning as it arched out zapping the "Alpha". The grimm staggered off of Stephen, he reacted slicing at it's hind legs cutting it. Growling it retaliated swiping at Steven's side, he brought up Stormbolt blocking the grimm's arm. Steven rushed forward slashing and stabbing landing blow after blow on the grimm the electrified blade dealing it's toll on the creature of darkness.
It raised its arm and knocked back Stormbolt and went to bite Steven, he attacked with Stormbolt slashing across its muzzle, slicing one of its eyes. Reaching out Steven climbed onto the grimm's back gripping onto one of its spikes. He rotated Stormbolt in his hands activating the rest of the dust charges in the blade and used his semblance intensifying the electricity as he stabbed it into the "Alpha". The storm above them became violent as thunder boomed and lightning flashed yet again. Steven looked up and began to focus before he pushed off of the beowulf landing behind the grimm. It turned around and faced Steven is one eye glaring, Stormbolt snapping with electricity impaled in its chest. Steven looked up at the storm raging above him then he eyed the beowulf before he grinned "sorry but I have places to be.". The "Alpha" charged at Steven but suddenly the Sky cracked apart as a bolt of lightning bright gray crashed down striking Stormbolt before it completely consumed the beowulf tendrils streaming out arching into the other grimm still surrounding the area.
Then as quick as it appeared the lightning vanished and it continued to rain as if nothing happened. Steven shook his head and walked over to where Stormbolt was lying on the ground. A faint arc of electricity snapped along its edge as Steven picked it up before it zapped into his arm, his aura absorbing it. With a flick of the switch it compacted itself into a slightly more compact form, Steven slid it back into his sheath. Sighing he pulled out his scroll to see if he could make a call yet it a he could see as that he had received a message from Markus " Steven problem at the pier hurry." Steven looked up "What in the dust could be happening at the pier?" He went to send a reply but his scroll had finally died. "Great now I'm going to be late for dinner" He began to jog off in the direction of the pier as fast as he could, the rain a warm feeling against him as silence followed him.
