Rwby: Dark and Light
Trailer 1: Green
-1st P.O.V-
I watched as the fortress, held by the dreaded white fang, get torn apart at the seems by an army of Grimm… From my perch upon a cliff side, I see with hatred filled eyes, the men and women of the faunus, being torn apart as I did nothing… I had such hatred for this group in particular… I had no contempt for the grimm, in fact I respected the Grimm more than most people, humans and faunus alike.
By detaching my emotions from my mind, I was able to become sort of invisible to the Grimm. I slipped past them easily, many soldiers were to occupied with evacuating to notice me dashing around in a black cloak.
The ones who had noticed me and tried to attack me, either met with the blade of my great sword, or a Grimm got to them first… I had lost my mercy, as if some external force was making my threatening my logic, my morals… I let these people die, yes they took what's precious to me, but they don't deserve the same fate no matter how much animosity I have.
I ran through the corridors of the fortress, as they threaten to collapse and become derelict. Soon I came to the command center, housing the commander whom I wanted to exact my revenge against…
The door opened to the scrambling of men and women, trying to buy time for their stolen bullheads to escape, but I've come to put a wrench in their plans.
I point my sword, focused my energy through it and shot one of the men at the command console…
The room went silent, the man in the middle turned around, he was tall and had slender but muscular build… his wolf like complexion was complete with only one wolf ear atop his head, sharp claws and razor canine teeth… his dark red eyes meet my sky temporarily pinkish eyes...
I dropped my cloak, revealing my short stature, my normally slender muscular structure seemed slightly larger and strained. My canine teeth was also elongated and sharp, which was unusual… I'm a monkey Faunus, not a wolf Faunus. I stood with my greatsword out stretched, it's white metal shining with its black lined designed imposing a sense of balance among the sword. My green red and blue martial arts attire remained creased and still, vibrant among the greys, reds and whites of my opponents.
The man named Garrett, spoke first…
"Well look who it is… Hello Boy…" he growled.
"Good evening…" my raspy voice growled… "seems you all are in a predicament…"
"Yes, would you be so kind as to help us out of it?" He spoke with a mix of venom and eloquence…
"Afraid not, I'm here to deny the Grimm the pleasure of killing you…" I replied.
"You sound sick boy, and you look a little different? Do you have wolf in you too? Or did you discover your semblance?" He stalled…
"You're wasting my time, give up and let me kill you easy, or fight like a warrior…" I replied, but this point the suppression on my emotions has broken, I wouldn't be surprised if all the Grimm could taste my anger seething from my body…
"You're right this is a waste of time, kill him!" He exclaimed as around ten of the soldiers in the room rushed me, in my current state and their lack of skill, I cut them all down with only ten strokes of my weapon… one stroke for each.
Now I stand among a pile of bodies, facing one on one with the man across from me…
"Before I kill you I have a question… their armor and swords… where are they?" I questioned, playing the pronoun game, if I were to speak their names I would explode and kill him to quickly.
"Trophies of the white fang, given to the higher ups as a symbol of victory and loyalty… it's a shame, if you were working with us, we'd be a force to reckon with…"
"I'm tired of talking! You killed my family!" I yelled as my green aura rippled around my body…
"Now that's not true-"
"LIAR!" I screamed as I rushed forward and tried to slice him down the middle, but he was nimble and dodged to my left… after crushing the console I struck, in one motion I spun and aimed a horizontal slice to his neck, by his claws of ice clashed with my blade…
"You've gotten faster, and stronger kid." He grinned evilly.
I growled and jumped back, charging energy into my sword and firing several volleys of thin waves of energy at him…
But his athletic ability was almost absurd … flipping and dodging each of them … he then dashed forward and shoulder charged me. Knocking me out the window…
I stabbed into the wall and hung there, when he stood to look over the ledge I grabbed his foot and yanked him down, I slid my sword out of the wall and we plummeted a couple stories…
We landed on the ground and I felt an icy claw up my right side up to my left shoulder...blood gushing out and my clothes torn, my aura attempt a recovery, but before I could re-orient myself the man rushed and started beating me into the wall…
Grimm began to take notice of us, several Beo wolves rushed at us, and amidst the fighting of Grimm, he and I still clashed, still fought each other… both going for blood… for death… soon the pack had been slain and he held my neck to the wall in his icy claws…
"You fought well child, you would have made a fine officer… but you just had to take it personally…" Garrett panted
"I'm not going to let you win…" I cried softly, blood coming out instead of tears…
"Say hi to your folks when you see them…" he said raising a claw…
I opened my eyes, looking past him, up at the full broken moon… "I'm sorry mo-" I started to say…
Then everything went quiet, and the only thing I could hear was my heartbeat as it began to beat quickly…
Garrett was speaking but I couldn't hear him, he swung his ice claws but when his hand collided with my neck, with the intent of tearing out my jugular… instead the ice broke on my neck muscles… my blood felt frozen, but it rushed through me so fast…
My eyes had a hazy crimson tint due to my bloody tears… my tail flexed as I felt my body convulse…
He formed more ice claws and rapidly began clawing at my body… but it did nothing, like an infant scratching metal…
I lurched and fell to my knees as more blood poured out of my eyes…
I knew exactly what was happening, my transformation… different from my dark semblance… a monstrous form that forces me out of my mind and destroys everything around me… only born during the full moon…
I don't know what I am, but it's horrifying what I can do…
-the next morning-
I awoke completely nude, my wounds scarred, I looked to my right and see my black cloak and sword next to me… like someone put them there. My mind was to fried to make any sense of it now … I got up and out my cloak around me … I looked around me, and an the land where the fortress had been was laid to waste, including a swathe that cut from the scorched earth the horizon…
Everything was gone, the Grimm, Garrett…
I couldn't help but let a laugh escape my lips, I got what I wanted, my revenge… but I still felt hollow…
I walked back slowly, my tail throbbing, any Grimm I passed ran from me in fear… I realized I was no longer expressing any emotion, my brain too fried to allow my body to feel… to the Grimm I was just this monster, then a hollow humanoid void of anything that makes me Faunus… I was on their level and clearly stronger, ergo they feared me…
It didn't take long for me to reach my home, a large man made plateau, it didn't take long for me to lumber over to the elevator panel and activate it… the hidden door opened and I stepped in the lift and soon I found myself at the top in front of my house/Lab…
I walked up to the door and put my passcode in, a moment later I heard a voice…
"Sir, you have company." The A.I Veronica spoke as I opened the door,
I walked into my living room to see a man and a woman sitting on my couch drinking coffee, waiting for me…
"It appears I do have company… hello uncle Oz, Auntie Glynda…" I greeted, my voice raspy and shaken…
Glynda's eyes tear up and her gasp is muffled through her hand as it reached her mouth… Oz simply closed his eyes and sighed…
"It happened again didn't it?" Ozpin asked…
I nodded, "what gave it away, my nude body aside from my cloak?" I asked trying to test my sarcasm…
"the dried blood caked down your cheeks…" he replied… I reached up and felt the crusty blood the
Glynda interjects, "Can this wait!" She said shaken…
She was one of the most powerful Huntresses I knew, but she always had this soft spot for me… probably due to her being so close to my mom.
After my family left Oz and Glynda became my caretakers, so they aren't actually blood related to me, but they're my family now.
Glyndas arms around me broke me out of my daze, "Let's get you cleaned up…" she said soothingly, she was really good at that.
She helped me to the bathroom and into the shower…
"I'm gonna speak to you and make sure you stay awake, ok?" She said,
"Alright…" I acknowledged…
"What are you guys here for?" I inquired…
"We came to give you some good news, of you choose to do so, you may enroll at beacon." She replied
"Wouldn't that put the other students in danger, you've seen my semblance and transformation in person… you know what I can do." I replied, too tired to get angry. I began cleaning my wounds and scrape blood off my body...
"We'd feel better if you could hone those unique abilities at the school… where ironwood doesn't have any jurisdiction if you're a student…" she explained both her reasons…
"I would normally argue with you auntie, but I have to agree with you, the idea of training with other people around my level is… exciting, and I haven't seen my semblance used in about 4 years. So the only thing we have to worry about…" I explained before wincing and stopping in my words.
"... the full moon." She finished my sentence for me…
I finished and stepped out, slowly moving the towel over my tender skin… wincing at the pain…
Glynda stepped over and leaned down a bit to help me, she towered over me. I'm about 5 feet tall, she had a foot and several inches over me…
He hands took the towel and gently glided over me, my legs felt weak so I leaned on her for support, well collapse more like, but she just smiled softly and helped me dry off.
I got dressed and went to the kitchen to see a very large breakfast, I always needed more calories than most people, and thankfully Ozpin was a decent cook.
"Thanks uncle." I appreciated with my raspy voice kinda clearing, and my youthful voice returning.
He chuckled and sat next to Glynda across from me, "Well?" He asked
"Sure I'd love to go to beacon, but I'm not taking those dumb entrance exams, you already know I'm capable, at least not the written one… I didn't spend 5 years drilling the book stuff in my head to take a 3 hour test to get a yes that I already knew was gonna give me." I said as I eat, I wasn't one for excessive manners.
"That's fair." Ozpin replied.
Glynda rolled her eyes and interjected, "you'll be happy to know that there will be at least two other people there that is your age."
"That's good." I replied…
They look at each other for a moment, "it'll be a week or so until the school begins, if you'd like, you can come live with us until you start." She continues.
"Sure why not, when do we leave?" I say finishing my food.
"Now." Ozpin replied.
I stood up, "alright, I'll be right back." I left for my room to gather my things, one object and heirloom that was special and had a legend behind it… one I wanted to prove…
I picked up the baseball sized sphere, with three stars in the middle…
"They say if you collect all 7, you can wish for anything…" ozpin's words rung through my head when I was young…
"What would you wish for…" the past asked…
"... I would wish for my family back…" past me replied…
The memory became like venom, when I remembered the rest of the rules of the resurrection… "you can't resurrect those who have been dead for more than a year."
… my family had been dead for 5 years…
