Author's Note: Although I'm sure you've heard this before from other authors on this site, this is my first fanfiction and this story is my test run. So, please forgive any mistakes made until I have a better grasp of this site from an author's perspective.

17 years prior to the start of the story:

If you had asked anyone on that night they would have said that it was a ominous night, consisting of chilling winds and the darkest skies.

A laboratory, somewhere in Mistral, sitting on a open grass field, guarded by an army of soldiers ready to gun down any intruders.

A dark room, lit by one lonely candle sitting in a far off corner of the room.

A man, dressed in black and hands folded, sitting in the center of the room at a desk

Boots clicked on the ground, as an approaching soldier walked toward his boss's office with a status report.

A knock on the door, "Sir, I have the status report you requested."

A soft voice echoed through the dark room and out into the hall, "Come in."

The soldier entered, the door giving a slight squeak as it was pushed open.

"Sir, we have identified a potential subject for Project Alpha."

"Have you now?"

"Yes, sir!"

"You have better have got the right one this time, or heads will start rolling" said the man, gazing intently at the soldier.

The soldier gulped and nodded "Yes, sir!"

"Very well, retrieve the subject within 3 days."

Once again the soldier nodded "Yes, sir!"

1 day after status report:

"Agent 4975 reporting for duty, sir!" announced the soon-to-be-assassin as he entered the assignment room. Wasting no time with formalities the cloaked man quickly handed the agent a file, containing all the needed information on the target. When the man saw his target his mouth morphed into a grin and he asked "A baby? That's all?"

"No, that's not all. Your mission is to retrieve the baby no matter what."

"And the parents?"

"Try to make it seem like an accident if you must kill them."

The agent nodded " Yes, sir!"

2 hours after the assassin receives his mission:

The assassin got up from his bench as the airship neared it's landing position because , #1-He hadn't wanted to pay for a cross-continental flight, so he had snuck onto the plane and #2 He really needed to use the restroom. Casually getting up to use the restroom he strolled to the back of the plane, and when he was done using the ship's faculties, he snuck out of the plane through a window and waited for the plane to drift closer to the ground. At about 15 feet in the air he jumped to the ground and rolled into a crouch. Getting up only seconds after he had landed, he looked around for any guards and upon seeing none stuck his hands in his pockets and walked out into the city of Vale with his hands in his pockets.

The target's house was near the edge of the city and was protected by a group of elite ex-soldiers that had been hired to protect one of Vale's ruling council from any and all threats. However, there the agent was a rouge Huntsman and not only that but was one that had been quite proficient at his old job. The mission report had noted that there was a gap of fifteen seconds during the changing of the guard and Agent 4975 planned to use that to his full advantage.

The change of the guard had happened faster than expected and an alarm had been raised immediately when the figure in a black outfit was spotted near the front door of the house. The one thing the guards were not anticipating however was for the intruder to turn around and stopped moving, as if to say "See, I have nothing to fear from you.". The captain of the guard felt a flash of fear, a feeling he had not felt for a long time, not since his very first battle.

He yelled "Open Fire!" as the last of the guard arrived at the scene. The guards with guns let loose a hail of bullets in the direction of the intruder. Somehow, without seeming to move the man dodged all the bullets simultaneously. He felt another pang of fear as the man drew twin blades from behind his cloak, they were Hunter weapons without a doubt. Of a sleek design the twin katana seemed to embrace the idea of a blade that was as fierce and frightening as a wolf and as elegant and majestic as a dragon. The intruder extended his arms forward in a relaxed grip and leaned back into a fighting stance. The captain yelled "Loose Fire!" allowing the guards to go trigger-happy. The muzzles of the guns flashed as a stream of bullets erupted from each one creating a wall that was one could only hope of escaping with a Speed Semblance. The intruder tensed and launched himself forward, his blades flashing in front of him cutting through every bullet that was coming his way. More fear, a Reflex Semblance, more and more bad omens. The captain looked up from his thoughts just in time to see the man's blade flick up and to see the shell of a bullet fall tho the ground with a light "Clink."

The man's voice seemed to echo through the open field in front of the manor, "These are my blades, the Sanguine Aurora, with them I have cut down massive armies and much more skilled fighters than any of you could hope to be, Surrender!" Silence was the response that he received, "No?, don't believe me? Send your most skilled fighter to me in one on one combat!", "If you win, I shall surrender without hesitation. However, if I win the child of the councilor is mine."

Stunned the guards discussed among themselves, "The councilor's child?, what could he possibly want with him?" Before anyone could respond to his challenge, the front door creaked open and the councilman, who was quite the Huntsman and had had himself many impressive victories.

The councilman yelled "I accept your challenge, you of the Sanguine Aurora, you of the Bloody Dawn!"

"Very well councilman, prepare to fight!" the intruder replied raising his dual blades and settling into a combat stance. The councilman drew his weapon from behind his back, a bow gilded with gold lining extending out into two sharp sword blades.

He raised the bow into the air "This is my Vesperum Cadere, the Evening Fall, with it I shall end you." He raised his bow and drew back the string to his ear, the bow shimmered and a arrow darker than the blackness of the void appeared. Without warning, he shot it straight at the intruder , the man's blade flashed through the air again as the arrow neared. Boom!, the arrow exploded in front of the intruder as his blade connected and launched him backwards his feet kicking up dust in the ground. The air shimmered around him once again and more arrows formed in the air. They shot straight back down toward the intruder, his head shot up as he instinctively rolled out of the way of the arrows, as all of them spiked the ground where he had been an instant ago. He jumped up from the floor and kinking off the floor shot towards the archer, his blades held out in position for a overhead strike. The councilman tensed and brought his bow up just in time to catch the dual blades that were lashing down at him. This time the intruder pushed the intruder whipping out with his blades in a flurry of strikes. The archer leaped back and in the momentary pause of offense loosed an arrow straight into his opponent's chest from point blank range. The intruder let loose a scream of pain and rage and lashed out in a spinning whirlwind with his blades, the archer frantically defending himself, deflecting and parrying strikes as need be. However, small injuries began to appear on his body as small portions of strikes made it past his guard, slowly draining his aura. He blocked a heavy strike with the bladed edge of the bow causing him to be thrown off balance. The intruder took full advantage of the gap in defense and landing two blows with Bloody Dawn leaving the archer with two large gashes in his chest, his enemy pressed harder slamming his foot out into the archer's injuries. The councilman flew backwards as his body skipped across the grass like a stone along a lake.

The councilman stood shakily after he was kicked by the intruder, his wounds slowly faded away as his Aura drained away to heal his nearly fatal wound. His wound gone, he straightened up and squared his shoulders as he prepared to fight again. Suddenly, he froze and collapsed onto the floor face down his bow slipping out of his hand onto the grassy floor. The intruder stood still, apparently adhering to a sort of code of honor and waited for the archer to rise from the ground and prolong the fight. When he didn't the intruder walked over to the councilman and checked his pulse, he spoke and said just loudly enough for the soldiers to hear "You were a worthy opponent, I shall remember our battle." In a flash the intruder plunged one of his blades into the councilman's chest ending the archer's life.

The soldiers shook themselves out of their stupor as the intruder approached them once again with his blades drawn. The captain yelled "Charge! Avenge the councilman!" The soldiers ran at the killer shouting war cries and swearing vengeance on the killer. Three men ran in front of the crowd of soldiers, one of them squeezed the trigger of his gun 3 times and bullets poured out. The other two drew blades from the sheaths on their sides, and lunged at the intruder. Parrying one blade he spun into a slash which cut the throat of one of the soldiers, and quickly beheaded the other. More soldiers reached him, and one by one, all with a single strike, they were cut down like they had never used a blade. Slowly, as the soldiers all died off the captain realized that he would have to fight the intruder himself, but there was no chance of victory. He solemnly walked forward as the last soldier fell at the hands of the intruder. He drew his blade and waited for his enemy to make the first move.

The killer turned toward the captain and smiled a sadistic smile "I wonder how long you'll last?" he said. The captain didn't respond and waited for his enemy's first strike, "A quiet fighter then?" said the intruder. He lashed out with one sword and the captain knocked it away immediately resuming his guard position. "Oh, you blocked one! That's already more than all your men! How many more can you survive?" This time the intruder swung with both blades, this time in an overhead strike and slammed his swords into the captain's overhead guard. "Two, now!" Another sadistic grin appeared on his face, and he lashed out again. The captain jumped out of the way and launched his own attack. "Ohhh! Feisty! That's three now!" Another strike and another parry by the captain, the intruder lashed out again and again. "Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven!" The captain of the guard frantically parried blow after blow, before having to roll out of the way of a particularly heavy blow. "Eight!" He began laughing, it was a crazed one, that laugh, the laugh of a battle-crazed madman. He lunged forward blades held out in front of him, and the captain leaped back into the air, a fatal mistake. The agent saw an opportunity and threw his blade and the captain, it flew true and when the intruder picked up his blade again the blade was soaked in blood. The intruder wiped his blade on the grass turning it red, and said "Well, that was fun, wasn't it captain? I'm afraid I have to go now. Bye!"

He walked into the house and began looking for the baby, walking up the stairs and choosing one at random he opened it. He say a crib in the corner of the room and exclaimed "Ah, there you are!" Grabbing the baby out of the crib, he carried it out of the house and into the city of Vale just as he began hearing sirens. After buying a ticket from the kiosk he waited for the airship to arrive.

After the airship returns in Mistral:

When he got to the laboratory he walked into his boss's office and placed the baby on the man's desk. "Here's your baby as you requested" he said.

"Did you have to kill them all?" the cloaked man asked.

'They got in my way, that's all, sir." replied the agent.

"Fine, take it to the lab." said the man at the desk.

The agent sighed "Fine."

At the laboratory:

As the agent placed the baby on the table as instructed by the scientist, he began to cry sensing something was wrong. Flames appeared around the baby, whipping up in intensity. the scientist yelled over the flames "Get the syringe, inject it into him quickly!"

The flames grew in size and intensity as the agent rushed toward the syringe on the surgery table and snatched the syringe off it. It contained a dark solution of liquidated black dust, it seemed to be devouring itself over and over like the void. The agent rushed over the baby on the table and stuck the needle into the arm injecting all the balk dust into the child's arm. The child let out a scream of what could only be described as a primal scream of pain as the flames emanating from the child turned blackish-purple and curled into themselves disappearing into thin air.

The agent fell to his knees on the floor and gasped in the fresh air "What the fuck was THAT?!"

The scientist replied "THAT was the child's first semblance. The ability to control flames."

"Wait, FIRST?!, what's the second?"

"The power to absorb and copy semblances from others is the second. That's what made him eligible for Project Alpha."

The agent's jaw dropped open in shock "I think I need a raise for bringing him in then."

"Shut your mouth." the scientist said "We still need to bind his second semblance so he doesn't take all of our semblances."

"Bind?"

"Second semblances come from an influx of aura, that's why we can bind the extra semblance but not the main one."

"How are we gonna do this then?"

"Infuse him with Grimm essence, so the Grimm's soulless void, will counteract his influx of soul."

"Is that even possible? Without killing him I mean." The scientist nodded in confirmation and began mixing a chunk of Grimm armor with a large amount of each elemental dust. He crushed the chunk of Grimm armor into dust and mixed it into the other mixture of elemental dust, the mixture puffing up in a cloud of dust. We need to feed it to him now.

"Stop!" yelled the cloaked man as he burst into the room "What the hell are you doing?"

"Binding his second semblance, sir." both men said in unison.

"After all the corrupted dust you just injected into his system?" their boss snorted in derision "Do you want to kill him you idiots?"

"No, sorry sir." they mumbled.

"Clean up and put the kid to sleep." ordered their cloaked superior

"Yes, sir!"

P.S: After the next chapter is over, the story will begin to make more sense chronologically and begin to tie in with the main RWBY story, Also, for those who haven't realized yet this story will feature an OP main character.
