3 years after RWBY Volume 2
After the death of Roman Torchwick and Cinder Fall, Neo had no one to turn to except for her rival Yang Xaio Long. It turns out, she wasn't a mute at all, she just never talked until now. Later that year the two got married, changed their last names to Flintlock, and had two children, Michael and Kerry.
16 years later in Downtown Vale, 2:15 AM:
Mike had recently graduated top of his class at Signal Academy. He was an incredible fighter with the skilled training, discipline, and agility of Neo combined the strength and determination of Yang. He was an animal in the ring with his dual flaming katanas and pistols combined with his semblance of fire, Mike came close to beating Phyrra Nikos at age 12. He had applied to the same school as his mother, aunt, and most of their friends, Beacon Academy. Needless to say, he got in no problem.
Tonight, Mike had to take care of some business. Cardin Winchester's son, Raven, killed one of Mike's friends. Cardin used his power to bribe the cops to drop the case, but Cardin bribed one of Mike's friends on the police force. This allowed Mike to get his revenge on Raven. Mike knew exactly where the bastard would be, in the back corner of the bar that his best friend's dad owned. As Mike saw Raven, he could feel his blood boil and his hair was glowing bright red. Mike pushed Raven's buddies out of the way and while pulling out his pistol said "Payback's a bitch!" and pulled the trigger. Mike then beat the shit out of Raven's friends.
Coast of Mistral, 6:00 AM:
"Sunrise on the coast is one of the most magnificent sights in the world. Wouldn't you agree dad?" Ariel Vasilias, daughter of Neptune and Weiss.
"Yes, yes it is. So where do you want to go to school next year?" Neptune asked.
"I want to go to Beacon. Isn't that where mom went to school?"
"Yes. It is a very good school mom will be very pleased to hear that you want to go to Beacon. Well, I'm off to work. See you at dinner." Neptune left Ariel alone on the beach. The redheaded beauty was one of the smartest and most popular girls in the Mistral academy. She fought with a trident, similar to Neptune's but with the ability of Weiss' sword. Her semblance is very fitting to her weapon, control of water. Ariel was accepted into Beacon very quickly.
Flintlock household, 9:30 AM:
"Hey Mike. You look tired. And what is that on your face?" Mike's twin sister Kerry asked.
"The stuff on my face is blood. I killed that son of a bitch Raven. The one who killed Tommy. I was at the bar with the cops until 5 in the morning, didn't get home until 6." Mike said very nonchalantly while Kerry looked shocked.
'Teenage boy was killed early this morning at a bar in downtown Vale. The police have said that it was a rival gang that killed the young man more on thi-' Neo shut the TV off after hearing the story. "Mike, did you kill that boy?" Neo asked.
"Yeah mom I did. He shot Tommy in cold blood and paid off the cops to look the other way. I took it into my own hands to kill the jackass."
"Well, at least it wasn't a random stranger."
Kerry and Mike have similar traits such as their skill with weapons and determination. Kerry fought with a sword and shield and with her semblance of electricity, she was a force to be reckoned with. She too decided to follow her mother, her friends, and her brother and go to Beacon.
Atlas Military Academy, 1:15 PM:
Oliver Ironwood, son of James Ironwood, was on his way to his father's office to tell him that he wanted to attend Beacon. Oliver opened the door to Ironwood's office and entered.
"Hello Oliver, what brings you here today. You could have called."
"Dad, I am applying to Beacon Academy today." Oliver said.
"That's great. My good friend Professor Ozbin is the headmaster there. He will accept you no problem."
"Thank you dad. See you later." As Oliver was going home, he opened his scroll and sent an application to Beacon. 20 minutes later, he got a message saying that he was accepted.
Oliver Ironwood was a disciplined soldier. He fought with a large chainsaw sword and his semblance was creating a bubble shield around him.
2 months later Beacon Academy, 3:30 PM:
"Hey Kerry, stick with me for now. We need to stake out the competition." Mike said to his twin.
"Dammit Mike! I'm not 10, you don't need to babysit me."
"I'm not. I am trying to make a tactical decision that could benefit the both of us in the long run." Mike said. Mike was looking around the courtyard and saw this girl who he just couldn't take his eyes off of. "Stay here for a sec. I'll be back."
"Where are you going? What-" Kerry saw Mike walk towards the redhead and made the connection.
Mike was walking towards the girl and noticed her outfit. It was a blue wetsuit type outfit with green trimmings, she had a trident as a weapon and one blue and one white stripe in her hair. Mike starts to introduce himself "Hi, I'm Mike Flintlock. What is your name?"
"I am Ariel Vasilias. Daughter of Weiss and Neptune Vasilias."
"Your Weiss's daughter. I am Yang and Neo's son. Our parents both fought with and against each other."
Ariel looked shocked. "Really, Yang Xaio Long. She is your mother. Weiss never talked about her. She did mention Neo every now and then, but when she did, you could feel the hate in her voice. You don't look much like Yang."
"Neo is my birth mother. I inherited her trait of heterochromic eyes." Just then Mike changed his eye color from both eyes being red, to one being black and the other red and back again.
"Cool. Who was that girl you were with earlier?"
"Oh, that's my sister Kerry. She is over here. Want to meet her?"
"Sure. Why not?"
Mike and Ariel walk over to where Kerry is and she is talking to some guy dressed in white with grey trimmings. "Hey Kerry. Who is this guy?"
"Oh this is Oliver Ironwood. Son of General James Ironwood. Who is she?" Kerry asked.
"This is Ariel Vasilias. Daughter if Weiss and Neptune. Mom talks about them from time to time."
"Pleasure to meet you Kerry. Is Neo your birth mother too?" Ariel asked.
Kerry started to look a little embarrassed. "No Yang is my real mother. Mike has Neo's eyes while I have Yang's hair. Not much but it's something." Kerry had Yang's bright yellow hair while Mike has red and black hair.
"Wait, are you talking about the criminal Neo or some other Neo?" Oliver chimed in.
"That's the one. Former right hand of Roman Torchwick." Mike said.
"And your mother is Weiss Schnee. The CEO of the Schnee Dust Company." Oliver asked Ariel.
"Yes, why?"
"It's just that my dad told me not to trust either of your families. I had the impression that you all were a bunch of criminalistic assholes. But, meeting you in person, you aren't criminals." You could almost see fire in the eyes of Mike.
"Well some of us do have a criminal record." Kerry said looking towards Mike.
"I thought you wouldn't bring that up." Mike glared at Kerry while the others just looked at Mike.
"You have a criminal record. And still got into Beacon." Oliver said.
"Yeah I do have a record. 6 months in juvenile detention for theft." Mike said. "I stole a few things and got caught."
"What about two months ago at the bar?" Kerry asked.
"I didn't go to jail for that one. You know that."
"What happened?" Ariel asked.
"The son of Cardin Winchester killed my best friend in cold blood. Cardin paid off a cop to look the other way. What Cardin didn't know is that the cop he paid was a friend of mine who was a guard at the jail I was at. He told me that the penalty for his crime was 25 to life. He said that if I kill the bastard, he will say that it was gang related violence. So I went to the bar that he visited, my friend's dad owned the place so he could kick people out, which he did. I went to where he was sitting, pulled out my pistol said 'Payback is a bitch' and shot him in the head and walked out." Everyone around him stared open mouthed.
"Jesus Mike. You never said it that way." Kerry said.
"How did your friend die?" Ariel asked.
"Raven, that was the kid's name, dismembered and disemboweled him. Raven deserved something worse than a shot to the head but if you ask me, I spared him, gave him a quick and painless death."
"Remind me not to fuck with your brother. See you all around." Oliver said.
"By Oliver. So Ariel, where are you from?" Kerry asked.
"I live in Mistral, right on the coast. My mother moved the SDC headquarters from Atlas to Mistral. She loved the beaches there and she bought a house on the sea. How about you? Where are you living?"
"We live in Vale Hills about a mile from our mom's clubs that she owns, Club Solar and Aurora. Two of the most famous clubs in the world." Mike said.
"Do you work there?" Ariel asked.
"I'm a bartender at Solar with my mom, Kerry is a bartender at Aurora with Yang. We should go there some time. We get free drinks." As Kerry heard this she rolled her eyes at Mike.
"Sounds like a plan. After the initiation ceremony, let's meet up. Here is my number." Mike and Ariel exchanged numbers and they walk into the main hall together.
Beacon Cliff, 6:00 AM:
"Make your way through the Emerald Forest and to the temple. Kill every grimm in your way and retrieve the relic and return to the cliff." Professor Ozbin said before launch. Mike was first to go, followed by Ariel. Mike looked over to her, winked and put on his aviators and was shot into the sky. He unsheathed his swords and rolled on the ground to prevent injury. Mike looked up and saw the sky filled with students. Out of all the students in the air, two stood out; Ariel, with her bright red hair and a jet of water behind her, and Kerry, you could see her blonde hair coming from miles away. Ariel landed closest, go to her position and get to the temple. Five minutes later, he arrived at his target position and used some of his tracking skills he learned while working with the police missing persons unit. He could smell the ocean and it was close by. He followed the scent trail for a few minutes until he came across a fallen grimm, it had a wound similar to a trident, he knew he was getting close. Seconds later, he heard what sounded like swords hitting each other. He rushed to the scene and found Ariel fighting two of Raven's goons.
"Ariel!" Mike screamed. He rushed in with his sword blocking the attacker's blows allowing for Ariel to get up and ready for a fight. Mike's outfit included armor-plated gloves for hand to hand combat. Mike sheathes his swords and says "I am giving you one chance, walk away or get your ass kicked."
"We are getting payback for what you did by killing your girlfriend here." The larger one said. Hearing this made Ariel blush.
"He is not my boyfriend."
"Last chance shitstain."
The shorter one charged with his sword but Mike caught it and ripped the sword from him. The bigger one raised his club but before he could swing down, Mike shot him with a stun round and he was down. Mike then knocked out the shorter one with a blow to the head. He looked back at Ariel and asked "Are you ok? What the hell happened?"
"Those two jumped me and wanted a fight. We started to fight until my trident was knocked out of my hand. That was when you showed up and kicked their asses."
"Cool. Have you found anyone yet?"
"No. You're the first one. Lets go to the temple and get the relic."
Mike and Ariel were walking to the temple when they started to hear large crashes and explosions. "What the hell was that?" Ariel asked.
"I don't know but it came from behind us." Mike and Ariel turned around and saw a huge Deathstalker coming from behind. "What do you think we should do, run or fight?"
"We will have to fight it no matter what. Let's kill it now." Ariel said.
The two put their weapons up ready for a big fight. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Kerry and Oliver fell from the trees. "Hey Mike, hey Ariel. What's up?" Kerry asked. "Why are your weapons out?"
"Look behind you and draw your weapons too." Mike said. Kerry and Oliver turned around and saw the Deathstalker. "Shit."
Mike locked his swords together and pulled out a pistol and charged guns blazing. Ariel was right behind him using a water jet to propel herself towards the Deathstalker. Without coordination, Mike and Ariel struck the stinger and it fell on its head. Kerry and Oliver went for the arms and cut those off. The four of them slammed down on the stinger one by one, driving it deeper and deeper into the head. Mike and Ariel went high into the sky and came down hard on the stinger simultaneously and killed the Deathstalker. Ten minutes later, the four of them reached the temple and got their relics.
