Hello, welcome to the first story that I publish ever. I have dabbled in writing a fanfiction but never one that was published. I hope that you enjoy and leave a review to see what I can improve. This will be a slight AU, changing the cannon either lightly or heavily. I honestly don't know where this is gonna go, but as of right now it's going to be a slight cannon convergence. I also hope that I can stray away from the stereotype of an OC, edgy backstory with edgy reasons. As of right now I have no Beta reader, so I apologize if some things such as grammar or spelling make it through. I am only one human with one pair of eyes. I hope you enjoy.

A Change in Fate: Chapter 1

It was calm. The nice cool breeze of nature whistling past her ears, although they were covered by a bow. The red leaves that surrounded her bringing a sense of peace and tranquility as she sat on a rock, gazing into the sky.

Crunch

"It's time."

She turns to see a man with red and brown hair, eyes covered by a mask that resembled a grimm, with horns sticking out from the top bending back. She sighs and gets off the rock.

I really hope Adam isn't as crazy as they say he is. Blake thought as they walked towards the cliff edge.

"The others are waiting for us." Adam said as they walked, "They will be our protectors just in case the security is more than we expected." Blake nods as they see to figures at the edge of the cliff.

One wears a long tunic that reaches to just above his was a hood that he stitched on himself that covered his deep blue eyes. A hole in the back, above the waist, allowed for a lion tail to move freely. A vambrace and a rerebrace that goes all the way to his shoulder where a pauldron is waiting as well as greaves that end at the knee. An arming sword as well as a kite shield colored black to cover the symbol that once adorned it.

The other was a large man, although he was the same age as she and the one next to him. His entire body was covered in plate armor, his helmet had a distinct design with its vertical holes reaching all the way to the top of the visor. A part of the armor sticks out at the top of his chest to act as a neck guard. A poleaxe a bit taller than he looked as if it were cracked and near broken. But, to those that know him, it will expand and turn into a mighty great-sword.

"Are the two of you ready?" Adam asked. The two of them turned to face Adam simultaneously and nodded. "What is the train full of exactly?" The shielded one asked.

"Schnee Dust." Adam replies.

The boy scowls before turning back to the tracks. The train can be heard as he scrapes his sword on the edge of his shield while getting into a low stance, being covered by his shield. The taller of the two lifted his poleaxe and readied it in his two hands, almost like a wall.

"Let's get this over with." The mountain said. Adam nods and steps in between the two. As the train is about to pass, Adam jumps and starts to slide down the cliff edge, followed by the heavily armored man. The one with the shield spares a glance towards Blake before following suite. Blake sighed before sliding down herself.

They all land on top of a moving train. "Nice and stealthy, so we bring one of the most heaviest guys we know." The shield says with a shake of his head. "He is important because he is strong, stronger than you." Adam said as he started to walk towards a hatch on the roof of the train car. "He left a fucking indent where he landed!" The shield bearer exclaimed as he pointed to two foot sized indents on the car. Adam looked at the indents, then to the armored man who just shrugged.

"Doesn't help that he never talks either." The shield bearer said as he brushed passed the armor. He's really selling it well. Blake thought as she glared at the shield, making him wilt a little bit. Adam snickered before slashing open a hatch and jumping in, followed by Blake. When they landed, for a brief second they saw the robots looking at the indents on top of the car before they all turned towards them. "Intruder!" One of them said, arms turning into miniature gatling guns and opening fire. Adam manages to block vital bullets before sheathing his katana and rushing towards them as they reloaded, slashing them down.

Blake joined Adam and started to slash her own robots before unsheathing her sheathe which is also a blade and used her real blade along with her sheathe blade to start slashing faster. (I am totally not salty about the sheathe blade… not at all.) As they finally finished dispensing the robots, the door on the other side of the car opened to show six more robots armed and ready to fire. Adam and Blake got into a ready stance.

"Intruders! Please lay down your weapons and-" The robot was interrupted by a shield splitting it in two, embedding itself into the floor of the car. The robots looked at the shield in shock before looking up, only to see a man clad in armor dropping down onto them. The ones that didn't get landed on started to rev up their guns.

"Geez, you bots don't have a lot of awareness built in, huh?"

The bots turned to only have their heads removed. "Took you two long enough." Adam said as he relaxed his stance. "We wanted to wait and make sure nothing came from behind. As you can see it was fruitful." The shield bearer said as he motioned to the bots around the two. Blake sighed and shook her head, "Come on, we need to find the cargo bay."

The two nodded and followed the two forward a couple cars before finally finding the cargo car. "Alright, Blake, go ahead while we set the charges." Adam said as he turned toward the poleaxe wielder. "What about the crew?" Blake asked.

"What about them?" asked Adam.

The other boys looked to each other before looking to Blake and nodding. Blake nodded back. He's too far gone, was the consensus. The door behind them exploded open to reveal a spider droid reving up its guns.

"SHIT!"

The shield bearer screamed as he ran in front of the three, blocking the bullets with his shield. "Go!" Adam yelled as Blake and he ran out from the cover from the shield bearer towards the spider droid. They kept swinging at it but they couldn't do much. "Fall back! We aren't doing anything!" Adam yelled as he blocked a couple more bullets and sheathing his sword.

The shield and poleaxe bearer ran out towards the next car. "It's open!" The shield bearer called, meaning that it was an open air car. Blake and Adam ran out, getting next to the two. "Alright, I'm going to use my semblance." Adam said as he got into his stance, the other three either nodding or grunting in acceptance. Adam charged in with Blake and the poleaxe bearer.

Adam kept blocking with his sword while Blake and the poleaxe bearer did small and quick slashes to make sure Adam doesn't get overwhelmed. Adam clicked his sword back into his sheathe, signaling it was ready. The shield bearer started to block bullets for Adam, knowing his sword will break if he absorbs too much. The poleaxe bearer unleashed a large swing into one of the joints of the spider droid, making it imobile for the time being.

They watched as the world went dark, any red started to glow throughout the darkness as Adam lunge forward with a slash, cutting the droid in two. Adam let out a breath as he turned to see Blake and the other two on the next open air car. "Goodbye." Blake said as she disconnected the car. Watching as Adam started to slowly fade into the background.

Blake sat down on the ground with her back against some of the boxes there. "Blake…" The shield bearer said as he put a comforting hand on Blake's shoulder. "I should have seen the signs!" Blake cried out, "I should have known the actions he was doing! How many he may have killed before!"

"That line of thinking isn't healthy." The poleaxe bearer spoke for the first time. "Yes, you should have seen the signs, but now we have to move forward. Where are we going and what will we be doing?" The poleaxe bearer asked.

"I don't know, Ulv Brunneous, what kind of plan do you have?" The shield bearer asked.

"Well, we could become huntsmen."

"What if someone recognizes us?"

"You always have your hood up, no one will recognize you."

"He's not wrong." Blake said, stepping between the two. "Besides, we could do a lot of good as huntsmen. Maybe, in due time, we can ease human and faunus relations because of it." The shield bearer looked between the two before sighing. "Damn, that does sound like a good idea. Alright, but what if we get on different teams?"

"Then we introduce each other." Ulv said with a shrug, "Just because we're on different teams doesn't mean we can't see each other." The shield bearer then realizes something and lets out a heavy sigh. "What if we run into one of them?" He asked.

"Don't worry Jaune, I'm sure they won't tell the rest of your family. After all, you're not an Arc anymore..."

"I'm a Leo now." Jaune finished, looking to Crocea Mors, where the symbol would be if it weren't painted over. Ulv patted Jaune on the shoulder before taking off his helmet and putting it on one of the boxes, reaching up to massage his tiger ears and revealing his short brown hair and burgundy eyes. "You could always make holes in that, or just make armor for the ears." Blake said as she looked at the helmet.

"Yeah, going to have to speak to some armorer in Vale. By the way…" Ulv said as he looked around. "When are we getting off?"
