Author's Note: This is in a different multiverse then the original Rwby and is my take of what would happen if my characters were introduced into the world. I am open to suggestions, but be patient if you message me because I am a bit new to the site and have yet to fully understand it. I plan on releasing another chapter every one and a half weeks and if you suggest something do not expect it to happen next chapter because I write several chapters ahead at times.
I do not own RWBY all rwby ideas and concepts belong to monty (rest in peace) and rooster teeth. I only own my teams
Chapter 1: Endings, and New Beginnings
A seventeen year old male sat in a tall pine tree polishing his prized sniper and watching the comings and goings of Beacon Academy. It was his first year and he was supposed to be at the beginning of the year announcements but one of his friends was late and he was singled out to look for the sucker. It was nice to be out of the crowded ceremony hall and take a breather. The nice crisp air tickled his lungs and in the corner of his eye he saw a swift movement, then suddenly everything seemed to move slowly as his turned, equally as slow and looked at the blur. It was a little girl with a scythe as big as her on her back zooming around, seemingly admiring people's weapons. Even with his enhanced reaction time, that annoyingly enough activated on its own, she was moving fast. Soon his eyes started throbbing and he gasped and gripped at his eyes a deep throbbing pain stabbed into the back of his head and eyes. When he looked up again she was long gone, lost in the inflow of people rushing to get good seats in the ceremony hall.
He heard a sudden explosion and he turned to look at it almost falling out of the tree. He saw the mini stone plaza outside the hall that had a large new soot mark on it. The red headed girl sat on the floor apologizing rapidly to a person in white. He recognized this person, Weiss Schnee. He snarled, he disliked people who grew up with it good. He watched as the stuck up yelled at the redhead turning red at the face. He would have intervened but he really wanted to maintain his low profile. Anyways a black haired girl with a bow on her head stepped in and defended her. He looked closer at her, something about her seemed different.
"Hey Derek, you find him yet?" A dark kid who looked no older than the one in the tree asked a bit impatiently from the bottom of the tree.
"Dante, how about you try to find a guy that can turn invisible when he doesn't want to be found." Derek growled jumping down the tree landing softly in front of Dante. He had a black scarf wrapped around his mouth and a toque on his head to protect him from the frigid air. Wrapped around his waist were chains that matched his black leather jacket.
Derek laughed to himself "You really went all out didnt you?"
Dante scoffed "It seems you could learn something from me." he gestured at Derek's cargo pants and grey hoodie.
Derek walked off and said back to him "Come on I am sure he will show up eventually, we don't want to be late for our own ceremony." Derek hoisted his sniper onto his back and pulled a lever that made the tripod and scope merged back into the sniper and a blade shot out of the end so it looked like a naginata with a barrel.
When they walked in a person they both believed to be professor Goodwitch was on the stage, Ozpin was already leaving after saying a short speech they both missed.
"You will gather in the barn tonight" She said into the speaker that made her already powerful voice emanate throughout the halls. "Tomorrow your initiation begins, be ready. You are dismissed."
Dante sighed "Well that was a great speech, wish I could of heard it."
A figure with a fedora appeared next to him "You could of if you weren't so late." He took a bite of an apple and scrunched up his nose.
Derek took a deep breath and in a calm voice he said "That is because we were looking for you, you little piece of-"
Dante cut in "Edward! where you hear the whole time."
Edward tipped his fedora "Of course, well I watched you scurry around looking for me a bit, but then I headed over here and hung out in the rafters" He pointed up to the ceiling.
Derek sighed and said "Let's go, I want to eat some food, I'm famished."
Dante and Edward gave him a quizzical look "We ate before we came." Dante stated.
"You used your semblance didn't you?" Edward asked laughing "It would make more sense if Dante's semblance made him hungry, but instead it is the guy with the good eyes."
Derek sighed and scratched his head. "We done talking about my eyes? I'm getting Hangry."
Dante sighed "I wanted to take look around campus before that initiation thing."
"I got food prepared for the case of the hangry" Edward said and took out 4 chocolate bars and handed it to Derek who scarfed it down in a manner of moments. They left the hall and started exploring and talking amongst themselves.
Derek took account of his surroundings taking note of good hiding places and vantage points, just out of pure habit and to keep his brain busy.
Dante whistled as the passed a large fountain with flowing water "Wow this academy is rich eh?"
Derek raised an eyebrow "Of course, Huntsmen and women, to be fair minded, are pretty much the first line of defence against Grimm."
Edward interjected "And terrorist cells like WhiteFang, we almost do the army's job for them. They are basically a glorified police officers."
They nodded in agreement. They walked around, and talked until it started getting dark.
"So time to go to the barn right?" Dante asked.
"Yea, but did they even tell us what, or where that is?" Derek asked.
"Nope." Edward stated ever so helpfully.
"Well this is great." Derek sighed and ran his hand through his messy brown hair.
"What do you think this initiation will be?" Dante asked "I hope it isn't a written test."
"That would be nice if it was just a test. I would ace those." Derek said then teasingly said "Maybe they will ship you back to that little shack you live in."
"I do not think it is a test, Ozpin said that 'knowledge can only carry you so far' so I assume he isn't one for standardized testing." Edward said in between a yawn. They wandered around until they found this barn rushing in and claiming the spot near the doors, they got the worst spot. They started changing into their PJs, Derek trying to avoid everyone's staring as he took off his shirt and revealed a large scar almost as if a wild beast mauled him. Dante looked away when he saw it, guilt eating at his heart. Derek looked unnerved especially with one blonde haired, well endowed girl staring at him and his well-toned body whistling and he mumbled under his breath "If the situation was reversed I will be lynched by feminists." and sighed.
"I am so late. I am so late! Why did I stay up all night reading and watching anime?!" Andrea Chalise washed her face and quickly put on a clothes she set out for herself the previous morning tied up her brown hair and quickly checked the mirror. Looking into her green eyes. Good enough. She booked it to Beacon hailing a taxi and jumping in she yelled at the driver "Beacon, Hurry!." The cab started speeding and she yelped "But don't break the law… please?" the cab slowed down and stopped in front of Beacon. People were already leaving the meeting hall and she had no idea what just happened. She jumped out before the driver could even ask for his cash and she started running off when the driver yelled "Hey lady, I need my cash!"
"OH! So sorry." She took out a bill and gave it to him "Keep the change! I'm already late!" And she started running and she entered the hall slamming the doors open.
A small girl in white robes and black hair was the only one there. She laughed "Being fashionably late only works if you arrive before the event ends."
Andrea blushed and stammered "Uh- I I'm not too late am I? My al-larm clock refused to work, then I slept in and this first day is already a blast!" She said sarcastically and covered her face with her hands resisting the urge to screech with frustration.
The girl in the robes laughed, her voice sounding like chiming bells and she said mirthfully "We are going to have so much fun with each other studying alongside each other." She smiled as if she was laughing at an internal joke "I'm Grace, Nice to meet you Andrea." She pranced off.
"Bye? Wait, when did I tell you my name?" Andrea yelled after her and she responded by laughing and yelling "Meet at the barn tonight~ I'll introduce you to your friends"
Andrea shivered "What was that about? That was so creepy.." She said under her breath.
A dark ominous figure stood in the shadows watching the new recruits flow into Beacon, He adjusted his skull mask his red eyes glaring from the shadows of the eye slits. They are all naive, they did not know they were all falling for the same trap he did. He shook his head with pity, but this is why he joined whitefang in the first place was to stop things like what happened to him from happening again. He had no idea how deep the corruption ran but it was his intention to figure out no matter the cost, he already paid his dues now he deserved change and since he was not getting any he was going to force it into action. He was tired of waiting, tired of 'peaceful' protests and for the people who got rich on the system they created to change it.
"Adam, nice to see you again." The figure said without turning around. Adam the swordsman walked out of the shadows and scoffed "You are as keen as always."
"You here to stop me Adam?" The masked man asked.
"No, I am just here to tell you, that if you do this the Whitefang will not support you, they do not care who you are or what you did." Adam stoically stated.
The masked man laughed "You're OK with this Adam? They have been too dormant for too long. The change we want will never happen if this proceeds!" He turned to face Adam but he was already gone. He was not going to modify his plan for anyone, not anymore. He no longer had the freedom to, soon it will be too late.
The corrupt minister should be leaving from Ozpin's office soon, he just had to wait till the perfect time to stage his 'accident'. He looked into the courtyard and saw a man in a tux leave. That was him, he was a benefactor of beacon and the one who he has been tracking for quite sometime now. He almost killed him by blowing up one of his factories killing hundreds. He blew it up just to kill a thorn in his side. He used children with special gifts to make his business huge, he hired people to kidnap people who opposed him and have them disappear or swear silence for some reason or other. The man got into his limo and rode away and The masked man followed after him running along the rooftops and occasionally teleporting to get ahead of the limo or to get across gaps he couldn't jump across. Eventually they stopped at a hotel a fancy one. The masked man climbed towards the hotel and looked through the large windows into the grand receiving hall. A few people at the bottom of the tower pointed at the masked man thinking he was some sort of performer. Then he teleported inside and on top of a solid gold chandelier.
There was a red velvet carpet on the floor and everything was over embellished and fancy no ordinary person would ever be able to spend a night here. He started loosening the chandelier as the man walked closer and right when he was below it the chandelier fell and the masked man teleported back onto the tower and climbed away. Everyone will just believe it was a tragic accident. Now he just has to leave. He ran along the roofs and then suddenly Adam jumped onto the roof and said "I warned you Skull, don't come back or we will treat you like we never met."
Skull laughed and said "I never needed the Whitefang's they're too weak and do not see the world as I do."
Adam sighed "Your parents will be disappointed, even though they are key members, they can not stop us from killing you for violating orders."
Skull looked away and said "I know." and teleported away.
Alex Nixia walked into the CEO of the Schnee companies office. He stood at attention looking around the office it was almost like a suite, with suits of armour and swords everywhere there were even some hunting trophies on the wall. In the center of the room was a desk with a swivel chair behind it that was facing the window that overlooked the entire city. The man in a deep authoritative voice said "Alex, have you been informed of why I summoned you here?"
"Not yet they told me you would give me a mission briefing." Alex said plainly
"I hired you from the Nixia mercenary corp so you can infiltrate Beacon academy and be a bodyguard without my daughter's knowledge." He said not even facing the mercenary.
"Sir, how am I going to get into Beacon Academy?" Alex asked trying to be as respectful as possible.
"I have handled that, you leave tonight get your things ready. I will send someone over to your house to pick you up." The CEO dismissed Alex.
Alex getting the cue, left the room and headed down the hall to the elevator and once he got inside he started scowling "I trained since I was five to fight and I have to use my honed skills to protect some sort of pampered princess? This is a waste of my skills." He said and took out a notebook and started writing down information about the CEO that might prove useful later then pocketed it. "Maybe the missions I get sent on in Beacon will entertain me more, and it would be nice to get away from my family, they can be a bit crazy." He sighed.
He got onto his motorcycle and drove off to his home and packed up, he would be arriving in Beacon as soon as he could, but knowing his luck he will get sidetracked.
In the morning Derek, Edward and Dante sat in a locker room preparing their stuff for this initiation, whatever that may be. Derek was taking apart his sniper tinkering, adding a few last modifications before the moment of truth. He swore as a piece refused to go on properly. Edward was pouring an orange dust into a vial of his sword. Edwards sword had a single line of glowing orange on his sword going from hilt to point. Dante put on some lightweight armour and said to his friends "So, apparently teams are decided here."
Edward nodded and said "We may not be in the same team, which is unfortunate but unavoidable."
"I'm sure with our luck we will each be in a different team." Derek said as the piece finally went where it was supposed to go.
"At least then we can be rivals." Dante laughed
"That would be interesting" Edward said as he clipped his longsword to his back.
Dante was shining his kusarigama and making sure the guns attached to it were functioning properly. They heard a thunk and they all turned to see a blond haired kid pinned to a locker by Pyrrha a well known warrior, Edward laughed "I wonder what the poor SOB said."
"No idea." Derek said as he put his sniper on his back and walked out of the locker room followed shortly by the others.
In the same locker room Andrea sat next to Grace who was humming and swinging her feet as Andrea was having difficulty putting on her gauntlet.
Grace shot up to her feet and clapped and said to Andrea "See those three?" Pointing at a group of three males "That is Edward, he is cool looking and mysterious but do not let that fool you he is actually quite shy. That is Dante, he is… well I will let you figure that one out, let's just say interesting for now. That is Derek, he is the smartest of the bunch although he will never say it nor act like it. You are all going to be really good friends." Grace smiled.
"Have you even met those three?" Andrea asked as she finally got the gauntlet on.
"Nope." She said matter of factly.
"Then how do you know?" Andrea ask as she reached for the other gauntlet.
"I just do." Grace said looking at her quizzically as if she was confused how Andrae would not know such simple things. "Like that girl right there, that is Laura." She pointed to a girl with short cut hair who had dual pistols holstered on her hip and a DMR and an Assault rifle on her back as well as a bunch of grenades. "And there is Natalie" She pointed at a girl with long brown hair, bright blue eyes and ample breasts. She had a giant sword on her back that was almost as tall as her. "Aaaaand" she looked around then looked really confused.
Andrea strapped on the last piece of armour and asked "What is it?"
Grace looked around in a bit of a panic "Huh, Alex isn't here."
Andrea laughed "I guess you don't know everything, huh." and thought to herself "Thank goodness I do not want anyone to know about my collection of fanfics and other stuff she will think I am crazy! Wait what if her ability is to read minds?!" She looked to Grace who was humming and spinning her staff around. "It seems she cannot read minds." She thought to herself with relief.
Grace looked to Andrea and asked "You done? Good let's gooooooo!" She pointed ahead of her as if she was a great general leading an army and laughed her voice chiming throughout the locker room. Andrea followed.
They all stood in a line in front of Professor Goodwitch and Headmaster Ozpin. Natalie was standing at the end of the line impatiently tapping her foot ignoring the headmaster's speech grabbing just the important parts, like the objective and the fact they will be flung off a cliff the partner part seemed a bit confusing like how could anyone make a functional team when people are all flung together, and the first person you see is your partner, what if there is a team with four snipers. A little girl with pitch black hair stood next to her smiling at her and looking pleased. She was just about to ask what she was so pleased about when she got flung into the air. She swore, surprised she was the first one. "Ahhhhahahahahahha!" she screamed as she free fell down into the forest. She took out her giant sword holding it with one hand her eyes filled with glee, this was more fun then Qrow let on when he told her about Beacon.
She neared the treetops and grabbed the tip of a tree and it bent backwards and and flung her backwards and she grabbed another tree as she flew backwards and swung around and landed on one of the top branches and smiled. "Flawless landing! Natalie Glare takes the lead with style and skill" She stood on the tree her hands on her hips when a projectile hit her directly in the back and she fell. She landed at the bottom of the forest with something heavy on her back. She groaned and got up and looked around.
That little girl with the long black hair stood before her with the biggest smile that in all honesty looked a little creepy. "Hi Natalie I am Grace, we are going to be good friends." She laughed her bell like voice echoed.
"Uhhh hi? Do I uhh know you?" She asked tenuously.
"Nope, but I do." She said with still smiling.
"Okaaay? Well let's go." She walked off.
"North." Grace said pointing in the opposite direction Natalie was going.
"Right, North" She turned and started walking north.
Meanwhile Edward was freefalling holding onto his fedora he flipped a dial on his sword and it morphed into a gun with vents and a large barrel. He aimed it down and shot, the laser that shot out of it propelled him up a bit and he landed safely on a branch. quickly catching his fedora before it fell off. He then switched the dial again and it turned back into a longsword and he put it onto his back and started climbing down the tree invisible. He saw from his tree that blond kid hanging from a tree with a spear embedded into his clothes just hanging swinging to and fro. He laughed a bit and continued on because how could that poor SOB make eye contact if he was invisible. Ozpin said only if we made eye contact do we need to partner up so he continued onwards. Once he was far away enough he turned visible then he remembered the spear that pinned the blond kid was Pyrrha's, meaning she would head back to claim it so before she could he could intercept her and then he will get one of the best fighters in his team. He then heard someone screaming as she flew overhead the trees seemed to catch her as she fell and a tree branch snapped and smacked Edward in the face knocking off his fedora.
The girl climbed down and saw him as he was reaching for his fedora and in a surprised
voice she yelped "You are a faunus!?" she pointed at the wolf ears protruding out of his head.
Edward sighed and he stated "And you're a human. While we are stating facts, you're rude."
The girl rubbed her head and said "Sorry, I guess we are partners, I am Andrea. Who are you?" She offered her hand.
He turned away and started walking off a bit annoyed at his foiled plan.
"I see, going for the strong silent type to intimidate me huh? Well!... it's working." Andrea walked behind him and asked him "Soooo, can you fight monsters? Because I do not know if I can, this would be the first time actually fighting." She waiting in silence for an answer "Hello?" She called at Edward who continued ignoring her.
Edward thought to himself "Great my partner seems to be incompetent." then he remembered that blond kid hanging from the tree and felt a little better. He wondered how his friends were holding out.
Derek had a dream like this once, falling endlessly. Normally it was nice and peaceful, flying through the clouds without a care in the world, well at least in comparison to this, considering this was real, and he could actually die. At least he had a lot of practise falling in his dreams although he had no idea how accurate the physics are in his dreams. He saw Dante land in the forest not so gracefully and realized the ground was coming close and fast. It was then he realized his career as a huntsman may draw to a close at an untimely age. He said his prayers being the optimistic person he is and prepared for the worse. He grabbed a branch and swung up and landed on top of it.
"Well that went better than expected." Derek said and looked around and saw a bunch of trees and bushes "Well this is great, how about i start by looking for Dante."
He jumped from tree to tree happy to be back in his element, cities were too stuffy and polluted for his tastes. He looked at the upper foliage and saw a bunch of broken branches and slash marks on the tree slidding all the way down to the grass below. There he saw Dante with his arms crossed trying to make sense of the situation.
Derek jumped down in front of him and said "Hey, you lost?"
Dante yelped and fell on his arse and swore at Derek. "I guess i am partners with you, I wonder who Edward got…"
Derek shrugged "How could I know." He started off north.
Laura Gladius calmly flew through the sky looking around for what could possible be a temple that houses a relic and saw in a clearing something with a bunch of stone pillars around a circular stone floor in the middle of an opening. When she saw that she took out a rope with a claw at the end and threw it at a branch it wrapped around several times and held on. She swung off the branch doing a flip landing safely on the ground. She looked around, it should be easy to get to the target, just head north east and she should be at it in a manner of moments. She climbed up the tree and untangled the grapple, she didn't know if she would need it later. At that moment something shrieked and she instinctively took out her pistol and aimed at the sky and saw a Nevermore. Its eyes were locked on her and it was charging going for the kill. She quickly untied the rope and jumped onto the next tree as a feather shot and sliced the branch she was on in half. She knelt and aimed her DMR taking three burst shots at it and nimbly climbed down the tree and ran into the thick foliage trying to lose it.
"Already I run into a freaking Nevermore? How unlucky can I get?" She said to herself as she took two more potshots while running all of the shots flying wide. She turned to face where she was running and saw a Beowolf right in front of her slashing at her chest. She slid under the creature's legs unloading 3 shots into its head as she slid underneath it and got to her feet and saw that she was surrounded. At least ten Beowolves around her and a Nevermore above her. Even though the situation boded really bad for her she remained calm and readied her weapon.
