Prologue: Chapter A
What is your reason for desiring to be a hero?
Do you think yourself a gift to the world, or is the privilege to help it a gift upon itself?
A small, pale blue-haired girl in a light blue jacket walks into a moonlit castle with a dignified gait, posture, and expression. The walls are black, with eerie, white light pouring through the ornate windows. The girl reaches the middle of the room, and stops in front of a giant set of silver armor that was knelt down on one knee.
The Giant Armor stands up and readies its claymore, holding it in both hands, and the girl does the same, removing her own blade – a silver longsword – from her back in her left hand, and holding it in both hands as well.
The steel titan quickly spins and delivers a powerful downward strike while the girl hops out of harms way, to her right. But the Armor gives her no quarter, attacking once again with a series of angled strikes, advancing with each swing. The girl dodges, left, right, duck, jump, and executes a spinning slash in midair, then forms a white Glyph with a snowflake pattern under her feet to jump off of, and continues with a swift downward slice.
The Armor flinches momentarily, but then lashes out with a left straight. The girl blocks it in just barely enough time with the flat of her blade, using the momentum to flip backward and make some distance. Then she shifts her sword into a marksman rifle, one half of the blade on the top edge of the rifle, the other now a bayonet attach to the front bottom of the barrel. The bluenette opens fire on the Armor, her bullets only making it flinch, but not having much lasting effect.
The Armor then leaps forward and into the air, delivering a mighty blow upon landing. The girl cartwheels out of the way and shifts her rifle back into longsword form. She delivers a downward strike, followed by a rising strike, then lets loose with a spinning slash, but is left open to a haymaker that knocks her several feet back. She tumbles and lands on the ground. The Armor simply walks toward the girl while she struggles to get up.
A horizontal cut across her nose starting to seep with blood, she takes her right hand and feels the blood running down her cheek, then makes it back to her feet. She looks into the Giant Armor's empty visor with a grin on her face, shifting her stance to hold her blade down at her right side with both hands. The spinning chamber within the guard of her sword switches to a small, red vial, and her blade begins glowing red.
The Giant Armor sprints up and goes for an arcing hack slash. The girl answers with a rising slash, and when their blades clash, a red light flashes out from the impact, and the Giant Armor's claymore is reflected back, causing the steel titan to stagger. She immediately switches her sword's Dust chamber to green and generates a green Glyph with a spiral pattern in front of her, executing a dashing thrust through it, striking past the giant with a flash of green and a gust of wind, and ending in the air above it. She turns around in midair, shifting her sword back into a rifle and switching the chamber to light blue, opening fire with shots that freeze upon contact, trapping the Giant Armor in ice.
She lands and points with two fingers, generating multiple white Glyphs around the giant, and one beneath her feet. She then thrusts her sword forward in one hand and advances at blistering speed, jumping off of each Glyph surrounding the Giant Armor, more and more ice shattering off of it with each pass, striking about six times, ending on the opposite side of it, the Giant Armor's claymore dropping from its grasp.
While the Armor reels back from her assault, she generates another white Glyph underneath her feet and kneels down with her sword in reverse grip, switching the Dust vial to red. She then jumps along with the effect of her Glyph and a fire Dust shot from her blade, shifting back from reverse grip. Then she executes a jump in midair with a white Glyph and fire shot, letting loose a spinning slash, and lands her attack at the Armor's neck, severing the empty helmet from its armor and landing on the ground. While flying back in midair, a black smoke pours out from the Giant Armor and its severed helmet, turning to white, and they land on the ground, shattering into white shards and disappearing. The girl stands up and puts her sword back on her back, then looks up to a camera that was watching every moment, giving a sarcastic curtsy and walking back out of the castle.
Author's Notes:
This is a reboot of my previous version of RWBY: G2. Due to sudden plot developments in Volume 3 of the show, I decided that I had to make some changes. The main plot of my story, fortunately, had remained intact. I hope you enjoy this fic.
Please feel free to PM me about the story. Questions, ideas, suggestions, anything is appreciated. And if you do, please write the subject of your message as "RWBY - The 2nd Generation Fanfiction", or something to that effect.
And with all that being said, this is SaiPrime, rolling out.
