Third Person POV

Pyrrha Nikos was on her knees and a few feet away from the new fall maiden, Cinder. She had tried to fight Cinder, had tried to stop her evil plans yet she failed in the end. Despite her best efforts, she still ended up on her knees in defeat.

Cinder summoned a bow with a bit of flame before she then summoned a matching arrow, taking aim at Pyrrha's chest. Pyrrha thought that this was the end for her. After how hard she fought, how hard she tried to uphold what was right and to keep people safe, she failed. And now, Cinder was going to take her life.

"A valiant effort indeed little knight. I could respect that, yet you still failed in the end. But don't worry, you won't have to live with the crushing guilt of knowing what your failure would bring. Good-bye, Pyrrha Nikos."

As soon as she released the arrow, Pyrrha expected death. She thought that she would grow cold, that her world would grow dark, and that this would be the end for her. Oh there were so many things she wished she had done, wished she had said before this, but now it looked like she would never get the chance. She was going to die with so many things left unsaid.

"You stay away from MY LITTLE GIRL!"

A wall of fire erupted in front of Pyrrha, stopping the flame arrow dead in its tracks. Normally Cinder's arrows would be able to disintegrate and then reform once its gotten past its obstacle, however this was different. If it disintegrated it would just become a part of the fire, and even then the fire wasn't normal. It wasn't from a semblance or from even a maiden. It was something different, but there was one thing that was very apparent.

Whoever had put up that wall of fire, was very, very angry.

Pyrrha looked to her right from where the voice came from, recognizing the voice. Her eyes widened in shock as she realized exactly who had come to her aid. She felt safety as she realized that she wouldn't have to worry about Cinder now.

To her right stood a man with spiky pink hair, though he always denied that it was pink and said it was salmon. He had dark onyx eyes that showed rage, that rage being directed at the woman who had dared to threaten Pyrrha. He had a slight tan and wore white jeans, along with some orange shoes and a red chest piece being worn over a red long sleeved shirt. He wore a bright orange cloak around his shoulders as well.

He glared at Cinder with such an intense hate that the fall maiden actually faltered in her actions before she quickly turned her bow on him and let loose another arrow. He growled as he grabbed the arrow with his mouth and bit down on it, chewing the flame arrow up before he swallowed.

"Tch, that is some of the most disgusting fire I have ever had the displeasure of eating. So now you fed me disgusting fire, AND you threatened by daughter and her school. That does it for me!"

Ruby finally arrived at the top of the building, just in time to see the salmon (Read: Pink) haired man launch himself at Cinder, his entire body being enveloped in flames. At first Ruby thought that the man had come to help and that Cinder had lit him on fire, however upon closer inspection she realized that he wasn't trying to pull some type of last minute suicide charge. The flames were from him, she could only tell this as he wasn't in pain.

Cinder jumped away from the man as he barreled past her, the newly made maiden gritting her teeth at the interruption. She had hoped to get rid of Pyrrha here and now to get rid of one more future annoyance, however this man, probably her father from how he had reacted, had intervened before she could put an arrow in Pyrrha's chest.

The man turned around and got in close to Cinder, sending a flame covered kick towards his opponent, "Fire dragon talon!" Cinder was barely able to dodge the kick before her enemy spun around, using the momentum of his missed kick to launch a flame covered punch into her gut, "Fire dragon iron fist!"

Cinder lurched forward as the powerful punch connected with her gut, spittle and a little bit of blood coming out of her mouth. She was launched back several feet and had no time to rest before the pyromaniac was on top of her again as he dropped a kick into her gut, "Fire dragon talon!"

She was launched into the ground, creating a crater from the impact. She may be the fall maiden, but she had also just become the new maiden. She had no time to become fully acquainted with her new found power before she had to fight, and now she was paying dearly for staying and not leaving to train herself in the powers of the fall maiden.

Cinder laid in the crater, trying to breath from the beat-down she had just received. The salmon haired man slowly approached the crater that Cinder found herself in before he then knelt in front of her, "I'll let you leave just this once. However if you EVER mess with my daughter again, I will not show you the same mercy as I did now. Are we clear here?"

Cinder weakly nodded before she vanished into ashes.

The man grunted as the woman vanished before he quickly turned and ran to Pyrrha, kneeling down in front of her once he reached her, "Hey honey, are you alright? Are you hurt? Did I get here in time?"

Pyrrha didn't waste any time in wrapping her arms around the mans neck, shivering slightly as tears rolled down her face. She knew how close she had come to death, and she needed comfort.

The man didn't waste any time in wrapping his own arms around Pyrrha, whispering sweet nothings into her ear as he tried to comfort her, "Shhh, its ok sweetie, your safe now, your old man isn't gonna let anyone lay a finger on you."

Ruby could only stand to the side awkwardly as the father and daughter had their moment, though they were all brought out of their thoughts when a loud roar sounded next to the tower. They all turned to the dragon-like grimm as it prepared to kill them, readying its fire breath.

Ruby's eyes widened as she realized that they needed to do something or they would all be dead soon.

Pyrrha's fathers eyes widened once he realized he wouldn't be able to kill the grimm in time to save both the girls, at the most he could shield his daughter with his body and save her, knowing he wouldn't be able to eat the flames due to the dark nature of its creation.

Those thoughts vanished as Ruby screamed and everything went white.

Line-skip

The man, carrying Ruby's unconscious body, and Pyrrha came down from the building to a waiting crowd of students, teachers, and Atlas soldiers, all of them aiming their weapons at the man who was currently holding Ruby.

Qrow stepped forward, aiming his sword at the man, "Drop her!"

Pyrrha wasted no time in stepping in front of her father with her shield, ready to guard him, "Stop and let him explain himself!"

The crowd looked around at each other before they reluctantly lowered their weapons. Qrow didn't back away however, not liking that this man came down with his niece while she was unconscious, "Give me my niece. Now."

The man shrugged and gently handed the young scythe wielder over to her uncle, causing him to back off.

Jaune walked up with his sword and shield ready, "So who are you exactly? And don't lie, we'll know if your lying."

The pink haired man looked at the blonde swordsman unimpressed, "Tch, I doubt anyone here is strong enough to take me on anyway. However I'm not one to lie anyway, so I'll just tell you the truth from the beginning."

"My name is Natsu Nikos, and the reason I am here is because my daughter here was in danger."

Everyone stared at the man in surprise.

I just suddenly had the idea for this kind of story while reading some RWBY fanfics and watching some Fairy Tail. I at first thought of using Ruby, but then, well then I thought "After five volumes, we still don't even know the names of Pyrrha's parents. So what would it be like if Natsu was her father?" And this is what spawned. I would like to give Natsu a weapon, so if any of y'all got any weapon ideas then please send me a PM, or even send some concept art!
