hey everyone, this is kinda my first fanfic for RWBY, and well, i hope yall will like it.


Prolouge: Dreams drop far


The skies were ablaze as the sun sets. The sky was an orange/red fire that felt so uplifting. Streaks of blue lighting strikes all over the skies. It came down and struck the top of a floating castle. This wasn't an ordinary castle like in the fairy tale. Four fires stuck out the bottom of the grounds of the castle. It kept it afloat in the sky. At the top of a flat roof a bulky robot fell to its knees and then to the side. A man smiled coldly as his victory tasted sweet. He had bruises, cuts, and scratches all over his upper body where he had no shirt at all. His monk pants were a bit burned and ripped but he brushed it off. He had a bandana on his head that covered his golden hair. His white eyes were cold and hollow like his black pupils. He had a ring that was standing up right but part of his was inside his back. On the ring it had 4 small drums that had the sharinga mark on them. He had arcane rune markings on his fore arms and head.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, the fallen angel has really fallen to the almighty god eneru!" he proclaimed to himself. Eneru smiled as he held his golden staff about 9 feet in length. It crackled with electricity as he held a firm grip. Four girls were chained to the floor. One of them had purple leggings with a white and black dressing shirt. She had a black bow on her head and her hair was long and down with the color of black. Another stood beside her. She had a black skirt and a red hood. Her hair was a bit red but her eyes were silver. One stood behind her. She had a white dress and her hair was as white as snow. She had a tiara on her head and a scar going down her left eye.

"Let him go! He didn't do anything to you! YOUR HURTING HIM!" a girl was there behind the red hooded girl. She had yellow hair with orange tips. Her purple eyes became crimson red and sparks of fire revolved around her as she pulls on the chains.

"Yang Xiao long. Child of the fighting spirit. As you saw, he became a threat to me, and this is the first time you have ever cared for this normal citizen. He is not a fighter. Not a warrior. He is just a normal human that does not possess the ability to be in this academy and yet all of you knew that and treated him like if he is not even there. But his mind...his beautiful brilliant mind he had was wasted away, and if gave him a purpose." eneru laughed and yang pulled on the chain even harder.

"But, why do you need us, why do you go to this trouble to capture us and keep us as hostages?" the girl with the white dress asked.

"Weiss Schnee. Child of winter sorrow. You are here for a purpose and also to fulfill my prophecy as god to voyage the world of red river. To do that if must spill every blood of a living life so that my god prophecy is a dream come true. Ruby rose; the child of fiery rose. Blake belladonna; the child of dark deception. All of you will be my beacons to make this world to the prophecy." eneru looked at them and they looked back at him with a dangerous look.

The cockpit of the robot blasted open and out spilled a body. His body suit was badly burn and his helmet was scorched with burn marks and cracks. His visor was cracked and his eye was exposed to of the cracks. He got up weakly and eneru looked at him with a bit of anger.

"Why won't you stay down boy? Why do you fight for them if they didn't even care? If would have given you everything. Powers of a god that you truly deserve, the respect to be worshipped as a god! Tell your father why do you still fight and protect them. You are showing weakness and pitiful, you incompetent urchin!" eneru pointed his staff at pilot and fired a crackled of lighting which sent him back to the destroyed robot and hit it hard. His helmet went flying and revealed his face. He had spikey bangs that were dark brown. His left eye red with the mark of the sharinga, the same marks that was on eneru. His right eye was brown with a mix of green. He rips of his body suit and reveals his normal clothing. He had a white hoodie that looked like from assassin's creed. Some black pants. A belt with some items and some fingerless grey gloves.

"ICARUS!" ruby was yelling out and trying to break free. She looked at her crescent rose in front of Icarus. She also saw yang's weapon, Ember Celica, and also Weiss weapon, Myrtenaster. Blake's weapon, the Gambol Shroud was stabbed on the stone. Icarus took out four items that she thought he would just throw away. A bullet from her crescent rose, a shotgun shell from Ember Celica, some fire dust that Weiss gave him but it looks like he made it into liquid, and finally a black ribbon Blake gave him. He drank the liquid dust and gagged.

"You dunce! You are going to kill yourself!" Weiss yelled at him.

"You still can't handle our weapons!" yang pulled on the chains even harder.

"Please, get away! He is too strong!" ruby looked like she was going to cry. Even though they forget about him, he always stood there to make them feel better. She didn't want him to suffer anymore.

"...please don't do this, you already suffer enough..." Blake looked at Icarus. She knew his body could not take much more.

"a strong man...stand up for himself...a stronger man...stands up for others...father, if will protect them, even if have to kill you" Icarus picked up crescent rose. It was heavier. He took out the mag and inserts the first and last bullet he will ever fire. He picked up one of the shot gauntlets and puts it on his right hand.

"This is as far as you go! Good bye son! If cast, erraigon kamikaze!" he raised his hand upwards and the sky turn dark. A white and blue beam hit the edge of the roof top and Icarus began to fall. The weapons were knocked out from him. He began to free fall from the castle but he began to react quickly. He got the crescent rose and tired the ribbon around the trigger but not too tight so that it won't go off. He tucked in his back strap. Next he reached for Myrtenaster and ticked in on the side of his belt. He grabbed the gambol shroud and it activates into pistol form.

"If hope this works...if only one try! JA'VOUNE!" Icarus threw the gambol down but held on to the ribbon. He pulled it upward and the ribbon pulled the trigger. It fired and flew upward at top speed. It danced in the air and stab on the balcony of the floating castle. He planted his feet on the wall as the ribbon stretched out to its limit and pushed off the wall. He began to rise up at top speed. Gambol shroud let go and fell back down. Icarus caught it and tucked it in his back. He rose up high and passed the roof eneru was. He saw two shadow guards, they looked like ninjas.

"Just die already! God's harbingers, get him!" eneru pointed at Icarus and both brought out their katanas and launched each other at Icarus.

"Phoenix flower!" he took a deep breath and blew hot air, but the hot air turned into fire and he spins it around. The shadow guards blocked the flames with the swords but it overtook them and burn them right there. Eneru took a step back in fear.

"How can he do that!? Those flames must be 300 degrees to physically burn a human being completely!" Weiss was very much awestruck and scared at the same time.

"Could it be his semblance?" yang looked at ruby.

"He could never do that...not until he drank that bottle." ruby thought for a moment and then she looked at Blake. Her eyes widen as the realization hit her "you don't mean..."

"That he is using the dust that Weiss gave him to channel his blood and air into flames. That was a fire dust but he made it to liquid and was able to channel it from his lungs to his mouth were the liquid reached the air and had a reaction...if think if know what his semblance is...but it isn't a power. It's what he was born to do" Blake looked at everyone else.

"What kind of semblance is this!" eneru looked at Icarus now with full of fear. Icarus took out crescent rose and extended it into scythe form. He arched back and threw it with all his might. Eneru closed his eyes and leaned a bit to the side and the scythe past him completely.

"you cannot defeat me, if still have the power of mantra, you may never kill..." he open his to see Icarus holding a ribbon. He looks back and sees the ribbon attached scythe rifle's trigger. Eneru looked at Icarus and swallowed hard. He didn't know he was going to do this.

"My semblance...is combat alchemist!" Icarus pulled on the ribbon as hard as he can. The ribbon squeeze the trigger and the scythe fired. Its blade was directed behind eneru's back. Eneru's blood went cold and only one thought came to him. 'I was out smarted...by a mortal...'

The scythe went throw his back with tremendous force that it was like cutting butter. His lower part of his body hit the floor but his upper body went up in the air. The scythe began to spin to Icarus.

"Icarus times your movement!" ruby shouted and Icarus nodded. He looked at the scythe and studies the movement. Everything went in slow motion for him. He flipped back and the scythe back part became parallel to him. He grabs the scythe with two hands. The scythe blade slams on the stone and jolts Icarus upwards. He was sent into the air a bit. He arches back his right arm and the Ember Celica fully deploys as he aims at the upper body part of eneru. The sun sets completely but shines for the last time. The little life eneru has looks upon Icarus coming down. The sun flashes and eneru saw some wings on his back made of pure energy. His eyes widen as he says his last dying words, "the fallen...angel...has risen...from the ashes...like a phoenix..."

"Falling sun barrage!" he slammed down hard on eneru. The metal hit him pretty hard, but when Icarus pulled the trigger a red blast hit eneru hard. There was powerful blast that the chains broke and the light consumes everything. Only for a second...

It began to rain down hard. Icarus was panting heavily and staring down at his father's body. Ruby came and took out her scythe; Blake took her gambol shrouded from Icarus. Weiss took her Myrtenaster from Icarus as well.

"Icarus..." yang came to his side. Icarus looked at her. Yang saw a big different in Icarus. She saw that this was his first time killing someone, but his own father. It was hitting him big time. She grabbed his hand and slid of the shot gauntlet.

"Icarus...is you okay?" ruby came up to him. Icarus just nodded. He felt so cold; he was force to kill his own father in cold blood. He wanted to get away as far away from here.

"Let's...let's just go..." Icarus felt hollow.

"It was not your fault. He forced you to fight...and we owe you our thanks...and apology...for ignoring you all this time." Blake looked down. A hollow laughter was there.

"...you...won't live...long..." eneru laughed and his body turned into lighting. He zapped into the castle and there was silence. For a moment it felt like the world just stood very still. But that moment ended.

An explosion came inside the castle which knocked everyone to the floor. One of the engines blew up and the castle began to tilt sideways and began to fall. Everyone held on.

"w-what's going on!?" Weiss looked around in panic.

"The castle seems to be falling." Blake looked around.

"Oh...Wait what! At this height we won't be able to survive, even if we use our landing technic we would break something." yang looks at ruby.

"Icarus is there any way to stabilize the castle." ruby was taking charge.

"No, if don't know the castle schematic, but if two engines can at least be on while the castle is falling we may still live." as he finished the castle blew up into pieces all 5 were sent up in the air and free falling.

"Yang, how much ammo yam got?" Icarus looked at yang.

"22 rounds on each shot gauntlet. Why?" yang looked at Icarus and Icarus smiled. She got the idea. Everyone nodded. Icarus called out there names.

"Blake!"

"A full clip and a half!"

"Ruby!"

"Half a clip left!"

"Weiss!"

"If have enough magic to pull off 8 stable glyphs!"

"Okay listens up and listens up good! We dive till we reach the last end of the castle. When if say now, you begin to make your way up the broken castle like you did in the emerald forest. When you have a clear line of a cliff or something to catch you, you take it as soon as you can, if one opportunity closes then all of them close understand!" Icarus looked at all of them.

"Yeah!" everyone agreed.

"What about you Icarus!" Blake looked at him.

"If still got some fire left in me. Let's do this! Dive! Dive! Dive!" everyone nodded and they began to fall head first. They went streaking down like a bullet. The dodge some the broken pieces of the castle and study how they are. They reached to a platform where all the broken pieces were falling. It still had one engine spitting out fire to keep them floating. They all begin to breathe slowly. This wasn't a test anymore; this was the real deal, their very lives at stake here. Icarus saw a cliff where there were student and people. He could see professor Ozpin there waiting for them and hoping for their safety. Icarus looked at the cliffs they fell. Time began to slow down and blur as he saw everyone's. He saw everyone at the academy was worried about team R.W.B.Y but, as he looked at Ms. Good witch, she saw that she was very worried about him. A motherly look she had on her face filled with dread and worriedness. He looked at the cliff and it was the same as the platform where they were standing.

"NOW! Use as much running as you can!" Icarus jumped on to a broken piece and began to make his way up. So did the rest of the girls. Ruby fired two shots and began to run up a pillar. Blake began to jump from on stone to another. Yang did the same thing as Blake but she used her shot gauntlets to up about 7 or 8 feet. Weiss focused on the larger stones that were walkways. She uses her glyphs as a speed booster. Ruby saw her first opportunity. She jumped and aimed for the cliff, but she didn't realize that a stone was going to crash into her. Yang saw this as not only an opportunity for herself, but to save her little sisters life and launched herself at the stone. She held on it and made it rotate until she was facing the cliff. She uses her weapon to not only push herself off but to move the stone away from ruby. Ruby lifted her scythe and impales the cliff. She hanged out dearly as the castle came down. A boy with blonde hair and some armor held his hand out to ruby. Ruby looked up and took his hand.

"Ren! I need some help" the blonde boy called out.

"Okay jaune. Nora! Pyrrha! Get yang!" Ren told them and he went help Jaune with ruby.

"Okay Ren!" Nora and Pyrrha ran and caught yang before she could have hit the ground hard.

"Okay, if am glad that's over." yang sighs.

"Out of the way you dunce!" Weiss came crashing into them, but other than that she was okay.

Blake was running alongside Icarus. Both jumped and zigzag among the falling debris. Blake saw and opening and took it immediately. She jumped at the cliff and twirled as debris fell alongside her. She manages to land on the cliff with a roll. She was coughing heavily but she was okay.

"Come on Icarus!" ruby shouted.

The rain made it harder for Icarus to get a grip on the stones but he uses his flames to dry the rain fast and continue upwards. A stone hit the pillar which it hit him and made him go into a tunnel. He was in the last of the falling castle. A hallway he walked in when he came to rescue them.

"He won't make it!" Pyrrha was ready to jump to Icarus aid, but Blake held her back.

"We can't endanger anyone else's life." Blake looked where Icarus was. He was inside the last of the debris and coming down fast. Icarus got up and ran through the hallway. There were explosions behind him that made the hallway to rotate but Icarus kept on running. Ruby went to the edge of the cliff and held out her hand. Yang grabbed on to her sisters other hand so that she doesn't fall. Everyone else held on to yang.

"Come one Icarus!" ruby held her hand out and the world slowed down. Icarus reached at the end of the hallway and made a jump. He held out his hand and reached out to ruby. She smiled. She knew he was going to make it. Only an inch remained between Icarus and ruby but something stopped Icarus and pulled him back. Ruby closed her hand but she couldn't have catcher him. Icarus looked back to see eneru's cold smile.

"you will die...like father...like son..." eneru coughed up blood and he held on to the stone edge of the hallway. Icarus broke his grip and blew fire to him. He screamed in pain. He looked back to ruby only to realize he was too late. He wasn't going to make it. Tears fell down his face but she smiled.

"Well...if had a good run...but my existence...has come to an end..." he chuckled and began to close his eyes. He could hear ruby screaming his name but it felt so far away. Everyone screaming his name to live, but he knew he wasn't going to make it. He began to close his eye.

"If am sorry...mom...if couldn't keep my eternal promise...of doing something good...in this world." he began to drift off into darkness... "So...so cold...so alone...my life...in the brink...of the shadows..."

He fell...and fell...and fell...right into darkness...

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH" Icarus fell out of bed and hit the floor hard. He held his head and got up. He sighs and was breathing hard. "Argh stupid nightmares"

He looked at his clock and it said 5:47 a.m. he sighs, "this is going to be one of those days." he sighs and remembers the dream he chuckles. "Combat alchemist, I been reading too much full metal alchemist" with that he began to get ready for school.
