For those of you wondering, The Dragonborn returns is not on any sort of hiatus or on hold or whatever causes me to go a long time without updating my other fics. This is just something I wanted to do for a VERY long time. And now the opportunity to do it that I have been waiting for has happened. The Gathering Shadows Saga finale. Dragonfable, being my most favorite game, and RWBY, my most favorite web series, the crossover I've always dreamed of is finally going to be started. A crossover I have only seen done once before. The Man from Falconreach. That was cool. Anyway, my plan right now is to alternate between this and Dragonborn Returns. I will not give a clear schedule because I would not be able to follow it, and I hate making promises I can't keep.

Anyway if you are a Dragonfable player I highly recommend you finish the Gathering Shadows Saga before reading this as there is a huge plot twist involving Amadeus that I will be incorporating into this fic. Also some of the beginning chapters will be slightly inspired by Of the Lesser Son, the first crossover fic I ever read.

Now…

Shadows of Remnant

Chapter 1: Darkness Lives

Beacon was being ravaged by Grimm.

To make matters worse, Grimm were only a small issue.

The Atlas Robots had been hacked, armored skeletons were attacking, as were many hooded guys wielding scythes, and beings that appeared to be made of pure darkness, and who know whatever kind of nightmare the dreaded "Human Grimm" created.

At the docks Weiss and Blake were fighting all of these kinds of enemies when they heard the cry of "BLOOD RITE!" and they watched a dark being be cut down.

Bykir had entered the battle as well, wearing his Sun God Cape, and Doomknight armor, and wielding his Blade of Destiny. He had his Dragon Bolt at his side and his (Bykir's) eyes were glowing red to show how serious he was.

"Valtrith is going to pay for this," he growled.

He was completely oblivious to the Ursa Major behind him, bet before Weiss and Blake could warn him it was cut down by the other Lorean Denizen of Beacon, Amadeus.

"How many times must I tell you to watch your back," he said.

"I think we have bigger problems then my back at the moment."

Sure enough the two were surrounded on all sides by all kinds of foes.

They started fighting them all off while watching each other's backs.

"You know," said Amadeus, "If you had told me when we first met, that we would eventually be fighting side by side, and become so well coordinated that we'd make an amazing team who constantly watched eachother's backs, I would have called you an unbearably naïve fool."

"Just goes to show you," said Bykir, "Destiny tends to work in very mysterious ways, and not at all, in the way we would expect them to, wouldn't you agree, Sepulchure?"

"How many times do I need to remind you to stop calling me that?" said Amadeus although he was concealing a grin.

Meanwhile on a nearby roof, Cinder was watching the destruction alongside her lackeys Emerald and Mercury, as well as her partner, Baron Jaysun Valtrith a.k.a. the human grimm.

"Beautiful," said Cinder.

Emerald just shook her head, "It's almost sad," she said.

Valtrith just chuckled, "not quite as sad as you manipulating that 'invincible girl' into murdering that poor girl," he taunted.

"It's horrendous," Cinder agreed.

Emerald wasn't sure what Cinder meant.

Cinder then turned to mercury who was recording everything on his scroll, "Focus on the Atlesian Knights," she said.

"Oh, I'm getting all of it," he replied.

"Good continue the broadcast until the end," she said as the ground began to shake, "And do not miss what happens next."

At this point Bykir and Amadeus, who were fighting alongside the other students who were defending Beacon felt the ground shake as well.

They looked towards the distant mountain where a Dragon Grimm came out and began spawning more grimm.

At his roof Valtrith cackled maniacly.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Now this is what I'm talking about!"

Cinder smiled at his enthusiasm.

Back at the ground Bykir told everyone else, "Don't worry I got this."

He pulled out his Dragon Amulet and called out "Bolt!"

And now Bolt had grown into his adult form with Bykir on his back.

They took off to take the fight to the Dragon Grimm.

As Bolt and Bykir flew by Cinder could grit her teeth and clench her fists in anger.

"The World Destroyer," she said angrily.

"Don't worry," said Valtrith grinning behind his mask, "I've got this."

The then grew wings from his Cloak of Darkness and took to the skies and landed on the back of the Dragon Grimm, wrapping in Dark Tendrils and putting it under his control.

He then turned toward his foe.

All of Vale watched as the Two Dragons clashed in the sky.

"This ends here Valtrith!" Bykir declared.

"That it does Bykir!" Valtrith responded, "And as satisfying as it will be to destroy you I gotta admit, I'm gonna miss these little get togethers."

Opening: Battle Against a True Hero – Radix lyrics

Every Hero has to make a serious choice

Fight with honor make your rival fear your voice

Die in battle to perpetuate your name

Or run from danger just to live another day

Real heroes never fear the pain or death

Every soldier fights until their final breath

Dedicating all their lives to just one cause

Serve the kingdom and apply the rules and laws

Years of training giving all your blood and sweat

Getting to the point where nothing means a threat

Every battle will be just another day

Every creature will be just one to slay

Raaaaissing your speeaaars… toooo the skyyyyyyy

Loyal solider keeeeeeeep… maaaaarching on

Shoutinging in ooooone… cleeeeeear vooooice

Every single dreeeeeaaammm… theeeeeyy haaaaaavvvve

Honor the oooonees… who are goooooooonee

Fighting for the saaaaaame… Nooooble cause

Away from hoooomee… in the wiiild

Trying to surviiiiive… alone.

Just. Because. We fight. It doesn't mean.

We don't have our own fragile heaaaaaaaarts

If. We. Could. We would go back in time.

So we could prevent all of these waaaaaars.

The real heroes stand until the end

But the biggest fight is insiiiiide

Feelings clashing while you pretend

That the bloodstains one day will dryyyyyyyyyyyy

Then you hear those voices in your head

Telling you it will be alriiiiiiiiiight

But your heart keeps telling you again

Real heroes don't have to fiiiiiiight.

(Falconreach)

Caitiff could feel its body falling apart, "Darkness, why have you abandoned me," it said.

Its opponents Bykir and Bolt were panting and grinning victoriously.

The Darkness was fading.

Then something unexpected happened, Valtrith's mask began floating.

"Admit it Caitiff we need each other," it said in Valtrith's voice.

"Now that you are no longer inhabiting the body of my traitorous sister I am able to think more clearly. Take my mask."

Valtrith's mask attached to Caitiff's face and Valtrith himself appeared.

"No," said Bykir.

Valtrith noticed a dimensional portal behind him and decided to leave through it knowing he'd need to recover even with Caitiff's power added to his own.

"VALTRITH!" Bykir shouted rushing in after him.

As the portal started to close Amadeus, the Spymaster of the Rose, rushed in after Bykir saying "That fool."

"Amadeus!" shouted Lafter as Amadeus got through the portal as it closed.

Aeigis closed his eyes, "Wherever they are, is nowhere on Lore," he said.

Lafter sighed even as the light returned, "Lady Jaania is NOT going to like this when she arrives."

(Remant, somewhere in Atlas)

Valtrith was standing in a snow storm as he sensed Bykir approach behind him.

"So you have come to try to finish me Bykir," he said.

Bykir rushed at him as did Bolt who was still Doomifyed.

Valtirth parried both of their attacks, then raised his finger.

At that a mysterious beast appeared.

It almost resembled a Werewolf, if they had bone masks.

Then three more appeared.

They all attacked.

Bykir knocked one down with his Blade of Destiny, or Bianca as he called it.

"Doom Blast!" he shouted blasting it while it was down.

This beast disintegrated from being shot by the Doom Blast point blank all five hits.

He raised his blade and conjured up the princess of realm of Light who fired a blast of light at another which disintegrated as well.

He then activated the power of the Rune Stone blasting pure magic energy at the beast as well as a magical energy sword.

Bykir lashed at the last one crying out "Bloor Rite!" slashed it in two with combined light and darkness energy.

Bykir then glared at Valtrith with his eyes glowing Red.

He lunged at Valtrith.

(Play music: Undertale Fan: Chara's boss theme [slowed down])

Valtrith just grabbed Bykir's left wrist and lifted him into the air while hovering.

"You just don't get it do you," he said before throwing him aside.

"Then allow me to demonstrate," he said calling forth another beast, this one resembling a bear.

He then did something unexpected, he absorbed its very essense.

"These creatures, otherwise known as Grimm are like me, living Evil and negativity," he added cackling.

"In other words, while you are still licking your wounds from your fight with Caitiff, I have regained my, I mean OUR strength. On top off all of that, you keep forgetting that using your Blood Rite attack carries a great risk to it, while it packs more punch then most of your other attacks, as a price you pay actual health instead of Mana. You don't stand a chance, other than your wounded dragon you are all alone."

He then, to Bykir's horror, started charging up Caitiff's trademark energy blast.

(Stop music)

Then the blast was deflected by the last person Bykir thought would come to his aid.

"Amadeus?" he said surprised.

For Amadeus, the Rose's spymaster, looked at him with hatred the moment they met and mocked him the entire Black Winter War.

Yet here he was deflecting Valtrith's blast with some kind of sword.

"He's not alone," said Amadeus, "And this sword is capable of cutting through magic."

Valtrith smirked, "Well isn't this ironic?" he taunted.

Amadeus then pointed his sword and Valtirth.

Bykir got up off the ground, while he could barely feel his left arm, but he could still fight.

Valtrith then called forth Black flames to fight back when a mysterious individual with a scythe appeared.

"I don't have time for this, so I'll just leave you a play mate."

He then called forth a Scorpion Grimm, while he flew away.

Amadeus and the new arrival, as well as Bykir and Bolt fought off the scorpion grimm, and killed it. Bykir collapsed next to Bolt.

"Come on," said the new individual, "It's not safe here."

"Not without Bolt," said Bykir.

Amadeus just sighed before placing his sword in the ground.

"Just so you know, I'm not doing this for you."

He then stuck both his hands out and casted powerful magic on Bolt, at first Bykir was wondering what he was doing, but then for a brief moment, Amadeus's appearance changed to that of his old nemesis and rival Sepulchure.

Valtirth's words echoed in his head Well isn't this ironic?

When Amadeus's spell was done Bolt was back to normal and Amadeus was panting.

"Bolt," said Bykir crying.

"This is emotional and all, but I really need to get the two of you to safety," he said, "And I'll have someone explain things to you."

"What is your name," asked Bykir.

The man just held out pickec Bykir up on his shoulder and said, "the nam is Qrow.

And that's a wrap for the first chapter. Man I loved writing this. If anyone is wondering why this came out so quickly, well aside from this being shorter than some things I write, after Calamity, I got to writing this immediately. And worked almost non-stop. So yeah by this point you know what the plot twist involving Amadeus I mentioned in the beginning was. And I'm gonna say, that is the reason why I had Amadeus follow Bykir after Valtrith, originally I was going to have Seppy show up later.

Anyway before I go I need to get this out of the way. Why did I make Valtrith the villain instead of Caitiff? Well aside from the fact that I was planning to do that since I thought of this fic (around the time Caitiff debuted), I want Valtrith to have a better defeat then he had in game. After all that hype he went out like a bitch. And don't worry, Caitiff will take command eventually.

Anyway please spread news of this fic, and if you have any questions comments, concerns, constructive criticism, suggestions, or even if you just wanna say hi, please leave a review.
