First off I do not own spawn or RWBY they are the property of Rooster Teeth and Todd McFarlane now with that out of the way on with the story!
Spawn sat atop the cathedral in the heart of rat city where the homeless lived and thrived under his protection the only downside being the clown. Who was currently pissing him off.
"Hey there sport how ya bin" violator said
"Leave. me. alone. " Spawn said
"Oh, come on where's the fun in that" violator said
Spawn spotted the old wooden rafter sticking out through the sealing he grabbed the top breaking it in two before hurling it at him, it struck him right between the teeth silencing him but it would never last, he would usually just pull it out and start talking again so he punted him off the roof before he would have a chance to stand
"He'll just get back up Hellspawn" Cogliostro said waking out of the shadows
"What do you want old man?" spawn asked
"To help you as I've been trying to " cogliostro said
"Then help" spawn said
Cogliostro looked at him for a moment before sighing "follow me"
Spawn followed behind the man to his little hovel and Cogliostro standing in front of a pedestal holding a green glowing orb
"What is this supposed to be" spawn question looking at the orb
"A choice Hellspawn" with that Cogliostro picked up the orb resulting in an instant change in scenery spawn soon found himself on a rooftop illuminated by the light of a shattered moon
"What is this place old man!" spawn demanded
"Remnant a world under constant threat of a fowl darkness that seek only to destroy what little pockets of man reside here" Cogliostro explained
"Then why did you bring me here?" span asked
"The balance has shifted the scales of good and evil have tipped in favor of the darkness you can yet set this right hellspawn"
"Is this another one of your test to see if I deserve my humanity?" spawn asked
"Yes, Hellspawn" Cogliostro said
"Fine…. then I better get started" spawn said before a scream echoed from the alley below
"Some things never change" Cogliostro said before walking into the shadows
Spawn dropped into the dark alley his shroud concealing him in the shadows he made out two men wearing black suit's with fadoras red sunglasses and a matching red tie standing over a battered woman with torn cloths her hands held up in defense. In their light given off by the lamp above spawn could just make out what appeared to be a pair of white cat ears on the woman's head
'What the hell' spawn thought to himself but quickly brushed off his surprise and curiosity moving in behind them. the two men above her laughed at her pain as one of them stomped his foot down on her tail his blood boiled as the two men cackled visions flashed in his mind of the clown, and hell itself
"Stupid animal must be a stray looking for scraps" one of the men said as the other reached into his coat retrieving a weapon
"Hey what do you say we put it out of its misery" the other said darkly pointing the weapons barrel right between the woman's eyes
"One less animal to suck up all the good air huh" the woman's eyes widened in horror as his finger rested on the trigger
"You don't want to do that" the two thugs instantly stopped turning towards the dark alleyway
"Who the fu- "Before he could finish his sentence a chain shot from the shadows wrapping around one of the goon's neck yanking him back into the shadows screaming bloody murder
His friend began unloading into the darkness before the screams were abruptly silenced by the sound of tearing flesh and cracking bone for a moment there was silence the young woman the two were previously about to end completely gone from his mind as he began to sweat bullets, a pair of florescent green eyes appeared from the darkness staring into his very soul spawns red cloche lashed out tangling the man in its embrace lifting him into the air before breaking his back in two.
The goon hit the floor coughing up blood and mucus as he tried to crawl away a foot stomped down on his back worsening his wound and his pain a clawed hand reached out from the shadows grabbing him by the collar and lifting him up to eye level
"This is how you treat a woman big mistake" spawn threw him into the brick wall and began to close in like a predator
He noticed the guy was looking at his claw like nails "people like you need to be taught a lesson" spawn slashed his claws across the thug's face leavening four scars before he slammed his head against the brick wall knocking him unconscious
Spawn turned towards the woman who had not moved from her spot paralyses with fear starring up at him wide eyed "please don't…hurt me" she said tears running down her face
"I won't "spawn said in his best attempt at a comforting tone before turning around and disappearing into the alley as sirens sounded in the distance
'some time later'
the darkness of the alleys that was the one thing spawn knew all too well for some reason it gave him comfort a sense of security. he sat there against the wall this place was just like New York he had been here for only a few hours and he already encountered this world scum. If the old man was meant to help him get his humanity, why did he have to up and disappear. for the moment, he had time to rest and gather his thoughts
suddenly a trash can a few feet away for him was knocked over landing with a loud crash! spawn turned his head to find a young Girl around seven she was dirty and ragged with a pair of fox ears on top of her head she looked up at him for a moment
"Mister are you...alright?" she asked
"kid, get lost" Spawn said
"Sorry it just... you looked like you were upset" she said taking a few steps closer to him
spawn paused as he heard that "You're not afraid of me. of what I can do" he said his menacing green eyes narrowed, he was surprised when she didn't recoil she honestly didn't seem to fear him
"You are scary when your angry. I saw what you did to those men, they Aren't nice to Faunus they were trying to hurt that lady but you stopped them you saved her from those bad men" she said
'Faunus so that's what she is' spawn thought looking at her for a moment before he realized something... she was alone, homeless "where are your parents?" Spawn asked as softly as he could
"They... they aren't here anymore" she said her head hanging low his gaze softened on the little girl
"What's your name?" spawn asked
"I'm Natalie...Mister some of us set up a place close by you don't have to sleep out here if you want"
"Ok" spawn said as he rose to his full height following Natalie to the spot she had talked about
"Nat" a voice called out from a man in his late 40's he instantly stiffens when he saw Spawn pulling the girl behind him "Nat! who the hell did you bring back with you" he asked the girl
"He saved a lady from bad men I thought he would want somewhere warm to sleep" she said innocently
Tanner looked down at the girl for a moment who was giving him the puppy dog eyes shattering the man's will
"Alright he can sleep with us in the alleyway" Tanner said turning to spawn "you got a name big guy "
"Al Simmons" Spawn said
"Alright Al since the kid vouched for ya you can stay but I got my eye on you" Tanner said
"Thanks" Spawn said as he sat back against the wall
'2 days later'
Ozpin sat in his chair startled by the news report he had seen. Another mugging lead to a double homicide the assailants were brutally beaten one pronounced dead at the scene while the other died from his injuries at vales hospital. an eye witness stated they saw a creature brutally beat the men and disappearing into the alleys the only thing the police got out of one of the men before he died was "red cloak"
"Glynda I need to speak with team CFVY Immediately"
"Is this about the creature on the news?" Glynda asks
"Yes" Ozpin responded
"I'll send them up" she responded
