A~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A
Upon the surface of Remnant, the sun begins to rise in the sleepy town of Vale as the radio plays in a local dust store about the daily news and people doing their own business as well as the faunus opening the stores and sweeping the floor.
"Good morning, Vale City. It's 4:30 a.m. If you're still in bed, you are missing the most beautiful sunrise, clear skies and a beautiful morning ahead. And big news..."
The radio cuts off as a disposable cup rolls through the fog and moves into the shadow of the bridge. A dark heavily armored Troll with horns curled around his head smashes the cup under his foot before clashing blades with the other Troll parries it back with his sword and nearly took a step into the sun and jumped into a shadowy area.
A demonic growl is heard under a panel, a monstrous, dark figure pulls back for a punch, just barely missing his target. His opponent jumping in the air swinging his sword in the air planting his feet firmly on the ground.
The darker one huffed, trying to catch his breath.
"Yield, Kanjigar." The dark troll shouted as the lighter troll heavily breathed in exhaustion before implanting his sword into the ground and held it once more in his hand before glaring at his opponent.
"A Trollhunter never yields..." Kanjigar said taking in short breaths, "I'd rather die."
"Terms accepted." He said laughing as he roared and charged at Kanjigar until the Trollhunter moved out of the way for the darker troll to run into the sun but that plan failed as the darker one skidded and charged at Kanjigar before jumping onto the support beams of the bridge.
Blows landing, soon Bular slides away because of impact. As he begins to lift himself up he is met with Kanjigar's sword.
"Your turn, Bular. Yield" he growls unaware of the sun rising until he hears his skin crackling.
He turns and to see the sun rising slowly, unaware that Bular had reeled back his feet to kick him in the face, until it was to late. He sent flying back under the bridge, his sword almost out of reach, glistening mockingly in the sun.
Bular approaching him, he takes a risk and grabs his sword quickly, his hand nearly turning to stone in the processes. He stands to check his hand, the amulet in his armor glowing intensely.
Bular stalked over Kanijigar.
A twisted smile his face.
"There is nowhere left for you to run, Trollhunter. Give me the amulet."
Kanijigar sprints up the canal and jumps onto the underside of the bridge.
Unaware of Bular hiding behind a support beam.
Bular swung from the beaming kicked Kanjigar, who almost loses his balance .
Bular lunges at him his a growl as Kanjigar swings down and hangs from the support beam with his free hand while Bular chases him a look of murder in his glowing red eyes.
Kanjigar swings back up on the underside of the bridge, Bular attacks him from behind and throws him across the bridge. His sword clattering onto the ground, glistening once more in the sunlight right before it shatters, Bular holding the Trollhunter down.
Bular let a dark chuckle ripple from his throat.
"It all ends here Trollhunter" he growled as he pushed Kanjigar's face into the sun. The Trollhunter screaming in agony.
Bular lifts his claw to sipe the amulet off the Trollhunters, but he grabbed his his hand and lifted it in the sun. Bular recoiled and clutches his arm as it smokes.
Kanjigar slowly rising to his feet.
"It's me or the sun, either way, your doomed Trollhunter."
"No" Kanjigar gasped. "The amulet will find another. One who will stop you, and your master. I may end , but the fight will not."
Kanijigar slowly steps backwards into the sunlight.
The Trollhunter crosses his arms around his chest to protect the amulet.Kanijigar closes his eyes and lets himself fall into the sunlight. His skin sparkles blue as in transforms to stone.His final thought.
A prayer to Merlin.
'Please choose another, please do not choose my son.'
"NO!" Bular screams. as the Trollhunter his the ground, directly into the sunlight, the amulet out of reach. The Trollhunter's body shatters on impact.
Bular tries to lean out into the sunlight,but recoils back as it comes in contact with his skin. With one final roar Bular slams his fist into the support beam beside him and disappears into the shadows
In the rubble that was once a fierce warrior, the amulet glowed brightly wating for the next warrior to hold it.
Somewhere not far away, a certain blonde brawler was walking throughout the sidewalk of Vale, humming a small tune as she passed by the bridge but something caught her eye as it gleamed in the sun and...called out her name?
"Yang Xiao Long..."
It shook Yang as she ran over to the pile of rocks and dug through it before laying her purple eyes on the amulet as she ran her fingers over it feeling the smooth metal and the weird stone a strange aura before placing it inside of her pouch and walking home, she never noticed the six eyes watching her as she walked away.
"It chose...a human!"
As soon as Yang gets home and Taiyang heads out for work she turned on the tv and picked up the amulet as it begins to glow, she smiles and then decides to greet herself to it.
"Um, hi I'm Yang. Can you tell me what you are? Tell me or you're going on Ebay!" She yelled before it stopped glowing and she heard a loud clatter in the basement. Yang placed the amulet in her pouch to see what was going. She opened the door and heard rustling again expecting rats she grabbed the broom and headed down stairs to the basement. She saw a figure move in the shadows. She clicked back her gauntlets before she turned on the lamp and jumped as she saw a mirror. The light bulb crackles and pops leaving nothing but the glow of the furnace lights her way there.
Six glowing eyes reveal themselves behind the girl before coming into the light to reveal a seven foot tall, blue troll comes into the light.
"Lady Yang!" He cries out with joy.
Yang turned around and screamed falling back scampering up to a wall .
"Lady Yang, we have have found you. I am known as Blinky." Yang screams again and tries to run away only to bump into a even bigger green troll.
"Hi." it greets with a small wave. Yang screams again.
"It's Aaarrrgghh, three "R's"
Yang falls to the ground covering her head, shaking like a leaf along with the anger she held within.
"She says "aaaaaah!!!" a lot" Aaarrrgghh stated.
"A greeting of sort.," Blinky wonders aloud, fascinated by the small girl's behavior.
Blinky let out his own yelp to test his theory only to cause Yang to tense up even more.
Yang tried to run only to be picked up by Aaarrrgghh.
"Look! I don't care what you are! Get out of my house before things will burn!" She yelled with her eyes burning red but she felt herself turn upside down.
Yang hangs upside down as the blue troll Blinky starts to tell her how she's been chosen, before finally realizing that the girl wanted to be put down .
"Uh, Aaarrrgghh, my good fellow, would you mind? This is a moment of some solemnity." He stated.
"Solembily?" Aaarrrgghh asked.
"It means to sound serious and dignified." Yang explained.
"Now...PUT ME DOWN!" Yang yells. Aaaarrgghh put the girl down gently and patted her head in reassurance.
Yang stood there in shock as Blinky began to tell her how she was chosen and how she was now the protector of not only human or faunus kind, but trolls as well. That was the last thing she remembered before everything went black.
Yang woke up with a start the next morning alone in the basement.
She sighed and then heard the door opened which revealed her father which a face of shock as he rushes over to her and helped her up as she explains why she was down there.
"I heard noises down here and thought that it was raccoons." She said as Taiyang hugs Yang as well as Ruby did before they left and Yang walked outside with Zwei as she saw the bridge where she could look at the amulet more often and the hands and symbols on the amulet begin to shift around. Forming words of the edges.
"For the glory of Merlin, Daylight is mine to command." She reads.
The wind begins to pick up as a ball of light erupts from the amulet dancing around her, before the light enters her chest, blue light surrounding her and lifting her up in the air. She felt tingly and that her weapons got an upgrade as she summoned them and saw that they looked like Daylight and her weapons merged into one.
"Awesome!" She shouted before testing them out and punching the rocks in which it turned to dust.
"Oops." She said before the armor vanished and she placed it in her pouch before running away. But she failed to noticed someone watching her from the shadows as their eyes gleamed a bright yellow and the pupil slit.
"I believe the amulet has found its new champion."
On the lazy streets of Vale City, Yang rides her motorcycle to Beacon where she found Ruby and pulled her onto the Bumblebee and drove away somewhere no one can see them.
"Ruby, you will not believe what this can do!" Yang said with excitement.
Ruby mumbled something about Weiss as she looked back down at the amulet and recited the glowing words.
"For the glory of Merlin Daylight is mine to command." the amulet glowing softly as balls of light begin to surround her sister. Ruby felt her heart lurch not knowing what was about to happen. Yang's feet lifted off the ground slowly as a blue mist circled her sister, the armor appearing onto her body. Ruby stared in shock as she turned into a giggling fit of excitement at what just happened. Her sister had just pulled some Sailor Moon stunt in front of her.
Well minus the skimpy outfit actually being badass armor..
Yang jumped up and down with excitement as she gestured to herself in disbelief. Ruby ran up to her sister staring in shock as she examined the silver armor.
"This is insane!" She yelled. "Are you telling that little amulet turns you into a freaking knight!" She shouted in disbelief.
Yang nodded her head with excitement before gesturing behind her. "Did you see my upgraded weapon?" she squealed. Ruby's eyes widened as she looked at her back and sure enough that it was true as Yang brought them out as a twig snapped to reveal the blue troll from the other night standing there giving her a dorky wave and smile.
Ruby screamed as the troll came out in the open.
Blinky opened his arms like before exclaiming "Lady Yang" like last night.
Yang turned around to see Ruby bring up her scroll to call 911 only to scream something about animal control as Aaarrrgghh appeared and tried to calm down the girl in red only for her to scream.
Yang sighed and walked to Ruby and took the scroll from her, knowing that they would not take Ruby's call seriously.
Yang knelt down and grabbed Ruby's face gently whispering calming words.
"Lady Yang, us Trolls have tried to keep our existence a secret so human would not panic like your friend here."
Blink stated while gestering to Ruby as Yang glared at Blinky giving a silent look that said shut up with her eyes burning red again. Yang reached for Ruby's hand and began to shush her softly, telling her everything was fine.
Blinky cocked an eyebrow at the sight of affection he could hear the girl's heart pounding from the other side.
"What wrong with red human?" Aaarrrgghh asked as Yang sat by Ruby so she could lay her head in her lap. Ruby mumble silently about how monster are real and that they where going to die.
"Ruby's hasn't seen you guys before." she mumbled.
"Really?" Aaarrrgghh questioned.
"It's difficult, she's been fighting Grimm and so have I." she stated.
"So why are you here?" Yang said as she looked up at the Troll's.
"You have been chosen!" Blinky exclaimed.
Yang cocked her eyebrow at the Troll as Ruby began to lift her head off Yang's lap and looked at her friend.
"The amulet has chosen you to become the Trollhunter. You are now the defender of all of Troll and humankind. It is a sacred responsibility, one that has never ever been passed down to any human. This, Lady Yang this a momentous occasion, you have just changed the history of troll and human kind forever." Blinky said in a serious tone before giving her a dorky, toothy smile.
Yang smiled and then thought about when Blinky said about the last guy who had it as she took off the armor and held the amulet in her hand.
"Who killed the last guy who had this thing?"
Blinky gazed at the blonde staring at the amulet.
"His name was Kanjigar.He was one of the greatest Trollhunters there ever was." Blinky stated.
"Mere hours before you found the Amulet a battle was taking place under the bridge between Kanjigar and one of the most powerful Gumm Gumm's there are. Bular is his name. Moments before you came along Kanjigar made a choice, before Bular could take the amulet from him he saw a way to keep it from his reach, but at a cost."
"His life." Yang finished.
"Yes. Kanjigar fell from the bridge and into the sunlight, thereby turning to stone and killing him."
Yang winced as she realized that when she had gotten the amulet by touching a dead Troll.
"And I basically can't get rid of this thing till I die, can I?"
"I am afraid so."
"I need a moment to process this." She stated as she sat down and held her head in her hands.
Blinky could tell Yang didn't want this, but surely the girl realized this was her destiny, she could surely become one of the greats with a little time. Blinky walked to the girl and began to speak
"Destiny is a gift." he began.
" Some go their entire lives, living existence as a quiet desperation. Never learning the truth that what feels as though a burden pushing down upon our shoulders, is actually, a sense of purpose that lifts us to greater heights. Never forget that fear is but the precursor to valour, that to strive and triumph in the face of fear, is what is means to be a hero. Don't think, Lady Yang. Become!" He finished his speech as Yang looked at him.
"If I die with this thing in hand, I might as well go down in a fight." Yang said before nodding at the trolls and Ruby and walking off to their homes and dorms.
The next night didn't seem safe for Ruby for some reason, she felt like that she was being watched and Yang came up to meet her and showed her the polished amulet she had worked on in the day.
Unaware of the large dark troll in the shadows, until it was to late. Bular was slightly surprised to see the amulet had not only chosen a human, but such a small and frail looking one too...and adorable...he mentally shook the feeling off and focused on the amulet.
Yang and Ruby froze before Ruby screamed and Yang decided to spilt up, both wanting him to not hurt them.
Yang began to drive away with her Bumblebee trying to stay in what little sunlight that was left. She could hear Bular demanding the Amulet, before letting out a roar as the sun disappeared behind the horizon. Bular began to chase the girl, the girl began to panic as Bular chased her.
Until some rose petals and a loud bang was heard as Ruby held her signature weapon on her hands and pointing it at Bular.
"LEAVE HER ALONE!!" She shouted as she swung her scythe at the dark troll and Yang dawned her armor as she met Blinky and Arrrrggh.
Bular has enough of Ruby before punching her straight into the bridge and she fell to the ground, groaning in pain as she held her hip.
"Ruby!"
Yang got really angry and walked up in front of her sister to protect her.
"Kick his butt, Yang!"
"Lady Yang! You can't fight him! He'll kill you!"
Yang turned around to face the group before smiling at them and turning to Bular with her eyes burning a blood red.
"Don't worry guys! I can handle this!" When she shouted that, her gauntlets came out and she leapt off the ground and close enough to Bular to the point where she could harm him with the punches as he swung his fist at her in which caused more damage to her but she got back up with her hair blazing like a flame.
She took a step back and launched herself forward before striking a punch at Bular's face.
Yang was pulled out of her mind as Blinky stopped moving. Yang looked up in awe at a giant underground city lined with beautiful crystals and stones.
The most oppressive one was one one across a canon with giant crystals jutting out of it.
"This is the world you are meant to protect young Trollhunter, For this. Is. Troll Market!" Blinky exclaimed as Yang stared in wonder.
"Awesome!" Yang added in amazement as she began to look around with a innocence Blinky had not seen in centuries.
Blinky knew for sure at that moment as she began to look around and take everything in with such wonder and curiosity that Yang would be a Trollhunter no one would forget.
