Hey everyone! Groszekace here with something new from me. I love RWBY franchise and always liked Cinder as a character and after reading a few fics with OC in her group i decided to post a new fic based on such verion of story. My inspiration comes from "RWBY: With Enlighten Hearts" and "CRME" both preety good fics if anyone did not read them. But here its a bit of combination of both with thrown in my parts. Well then enjoy and if your have read my other stories read post credits to know how those stories are doing.
And without further ado...
The shattered moon of Remnant has just risen to the skies and began to illuminate the night. But unlike normal nights there was something special about this one.
In a forest at least 100 km from Mistral, 3 humans were racing to a certain hill from which they are to be picked up by a bullhead.
Just as they were near the edge of trees there appearance was finally coming to light.
From 3, only one of theme was male, the others 2 were female.
Male is at least 175 cm tall with grey-silver spike hair, grey eyes, pale white skin complexion and a bit of bruises on left cheek. Dressed in a grey-black jacket, which sleeves came just up to half of his arms, he wore fingerless gloves, Sasha around his hips which was decorated with winged boots as for his pants there were torn up from this nights fight which showed an artificial legs, low tech ones which were dressed in black boots equipped with his weapon of choice - Vambraces. His name is Mercury Black, son of a notorious mercenary Marcus Black.
As for the females first one was of a dark skin complexion with mint green cut hair with straight fringe and bangs as well as a single long lock in the back and red eyes. She is 163 cm tall dressed in a dark green top, baggy short cream pants, with a brown belt that stored two guns of same color as her hair in their brown hoisters and simple brown boots as well. Her name is Emerald Sustrai, an petty thief that lived on streets of Vale and was found by a certain individual.
The individual in question was with them as well. The second female of the group of 3, their leader, the one who put them together - a female by the name of Cinder Fall. Short black hair with a single bang over her left eye which were of amber color, pale white skin complexion. 170 cm tall. Dressed in a short red dress with yellow out lines, equipped with a brown bag at her back which holed 2 collapsable short swords and a few arrows. On her left leg was an anklet decorated with red crystals.
"… *huf* Well that was … something." says Mercury.
"Ye… are all the maidens like that?" asks Emerald.
"Hope not, it was close call with only one. If we are to go after other 3 then you certainly need to raise my pay check for this crazy job." before Emerald could rotor to his words their leader voiced herself.
"Would both of you be quiet for a few minutes." her sentence was packed with frustration and anger, which meant that they should certainly not anger her any further.
"I'm sorry." says Emerald.
"Sorry." says Mercury.
With a 'satisfied' look at the two Cinder turns back and once again a feeling of emptiness, hunger and anger were invading her mind once again. Emptiness and hunger from the power of fall maiden that she stole from that 'worthless' vessel which held her power for her, and anger at the imputed huntsman that got in the way of ciphering of maidens power. She was one second from attaining the closest position to 'god hood'. But all was not lost …
"So. You got everything out of her?" asks Mercury.
"… No. Unfortunately I was able to take only maybe half of her power but" at that she her eyes started to glow an orange light and in her hand she created a small ball of fire to make her point "it will do for now."
"Great, so when is our ride arriving?" asks Emerald.
But before anyone could answer all 3 hear a deep wailing of a beowolf in a distance. In remnant it was normal for such creature to be in the wild but there was supposed to be no Grimm in a proximity of the meeting point.
While getting their minds in game Mercury started to notice a black dot that was moving forward theme in a shocking speed.
"Hey, what's tha-" unfortunately his sentence was cut short as the black mass that was advancing at theme crossed the distance in a stupidly fast pace and slammed Mercury into the tree that was behind him, braking it in the process.
"Mercury!" shouts Emerald as she sees slummed Mercury unconscious under the broken tree. As for his attacker was slowly rising but jumped into the air loosing the clock which was hiding a tall individual with naval overcoat, heavy military boots, a stomach plate armor, white gauntlets at both arms and a mask over his entire face which looked like a knights helmet.
In mid air he took out some kind of device that a second later transformed into a single long sword, which slashed at the Emerald who took out her pistols and changed them into sickles, colliding with sword, pushing back Emerald and making attacker backflip landing in a crouching position. He was quickly assaulted with rain of bullets and arrows that belonged to both Cinder who as well brought out her long range weapon, and her mint haired accomplice, making the attacker activate his gauntlet and creating a see through shield which he bunkered himself behind.
As Cinder started to lose arrows attacker began to advance forwards with each step more aggressively, at a faster pace in direction of girls. His sword disappeared and in its place a bulky gun appeared and as he was almost 5 m away he quickly dispersed the shield and took a good shot which hit Emerald square on.
When it happened Cinder took a quick look at the other girl but she was fine. Unconsciousness but alive, unfortunately she did not have enough time to dwell on it as she was gunned by attacker. She started dogging, backflipping, back stepping but barely able to avoid a direct hit with dust bullets that on contact seemed to release a electric current. It was like the attacker knew when she was going to land, and it annoyed her to no end.
"Enough!" shots Cinder as lands, straighten herself and drops the bow then once again her eyes lit up as flame starts dancing in palm of her hands. She had yet time to get used to this power but it was obvious that if she did not put everything on the line she had no chance of wining this fight.
As balls of flames started appearing attacker disactivated his gun and it once again changed into a form of a sword.
They stood in place for a moment assessing their chances. Cinder diving her heals into the ground, attacker tightening the grip on his sword.
And the fight resumed in a quick pace, both parties lunching their respected attacks at the same time. Cinders fireballs shoot forword as attacker sprinted to meet them head on and just as they were about to collide…!
Fireballs were cut in half, loosing their momentum and disappearing into night.
Cinder was shocked as all it took to disperse her attack was a simple yet precise slash of his sword. She was caught in that moment as she noticed the attackers eyes - they were blue. That was one of the few things she could make out in the end as pain over took her stomach.
It seemed that such distraction created an suitable opening which 'he' used to close the distance, deactivated his weapon completely and delivered a powerful blow with the now blunt edge of device.
As she fell down and started to slip from conciseness, her attacker took out a scroll and selected a speed dial number.
"It's me." he said "Found theme. Prepare holding cells."
And thats that. This is just a trial run for this fic so... im not expacting much and if you have trouble imagining C, M, and E cloths watch volume 3 episode 7. Basicly they have the same cloths as in their flashbacks. As for the 'attacker' and his weapons ... his looks will be discused later on as for his weapon: it suposed to look like bayard from serious Voltron: the legendary defender. Sword is Keith sword and gun is Lances, as the disactivated device it looks just like bayard, only thing is it can change forms... duh. In matter of this chapter thats all.
As for my other stories, Magi chapter is just about to be finished, YJ is in like a half and HS DxD... well its a bit hard to write it now as i dont have an idea how to start.
Well then, with that... Groszekace out!
