This is my first FanFic so any criticism or pointers would be appreciated.
My main characters are OC's and belong to me but everything else is owned by Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum
So without further ado, let's begin!
Green Prologue
The boy (well not really a boy, he was nearly 18) sat in the tree watching the 3 beowolves that were stalking him, trying to find his scent. The pure-black wolf and human abominations skulked around their crimson red eyes scanning the forest. He wore a black, hooded trench coat and an emerald-green vest-shirt with his logo on it; a human skull surrounded in green hood of the coat cast a shadow over his eyes and forehead.
His forest camo cargo pants were caked in mud after the 6 days he had spent in the woods. He had black running trainers with emerald highlights that were also covered in mud. He held a black, metallic, automatic crossbow in his hands, aimed at the 3 Grimm.
He somersaulted of the tree before firing a shot into each of them. Most people would believe that it had been a wasted effort as the bolts seemed to do nothing to the hostile Grimm, except agitate them. They turned to him and howled as the found their prey. The boy smirked as he flipped a switch on his crossbow and bolts started emitting a high-pitched beep which started to speed up until it became constant and at that second all three bolts exploded in a ball of fire, leaving the beowolves as bloody piles of gore.
Just as the boy turned to leave a he heard a roar behind him and an Ursa crashed into the clearing, most probably drawn by the sound of the explosion. The massive bear-like Grimm roared. The boy almost smiled as he pressed another button and the wings folded in to the sides. A large blade extended from the front, turning it into a sword. Then he actually smiled.
"Say hello to Inferno."
To this the Ursa charged forward and swung its claw at the boy's head. He ducked before jumping forward and bringing his sword to the Ursa's now exposed weakpoint, cutting deep into its flesh and tearing through its muscle, all the way to bone. He pulled out the blade then slashed multiple times at the injured Ursa's back, cutting deep with each slash. The boy then backed off and let the heavily bleeding Ursa turn to look at its attacker. Blood gushed from each wound and the green forest floor was covered in its gore. The Ursa roared, not a fearsome roar but one of pain and fear before collapsing. The boy watched its crimson red eyes extinguish. He heard a ringing and pulled the phone out of his pocket, then answered it.
"Hello?"
"Ralen, glad to hear you're still alive." came the voice, which sounded like its owner had been brought up on vodka and yet still had youth.
"It's not the first time I've been out on one of these trips, Niko."
"No. But you, or more accurately we, are going to Beacon tomorrow, so I need to make sure you're not injured before you even get there."
"Oh yes, I completely forgot."
"You forgot about going to one of the most prestigious schools in all of Vytal!"
"Well I have been fighting against Grimm, non stop, for the past 7 days now."
"No excuse, I've been doing the same thing except for the fact I'm already on the way to the airport (or airship-port)."
"Wait, when's the airship?"
"About 2 hours."
"Ah... I better hurry. So bye!" Ralen said before closing his phone and running of in the direction of the town, and the airship.
Beacon, the greatest school for hunters in all of Remnant. This is going to be an interesting year.
Silver Prologue
The white tiger faunus (human with animal traits, both physical and psychological e.g. Ears or skin would resemble those of certain animals and possibly a tail) looked up at the sky, as clear as possible without a cloud in sight. The waves were calming and only enhanced the peaceful atmosphere. Her silver, tiger-strip skin glistened in the sunlight as did her pink and silver bikini. She had tiger ears that popped out of her white, flowing hair. Anyone could tell she had a beautiful body that rivalled that of professional models. She was greeted by wolf-whistles as muscular men passed her and stared at her perfect body while she lay on the beach.
This is the good life. she thought and sighed.
"What are you doing here?" came an irritatingly nagging voice.
"What did you say?"
"I said, what are you doing here, faunus trash?" said a girl about her age, wearing a flame bikini that matched her long, orange hair.
Before the faunus could react an alarm went of and a voice shouted over the loudspeaker "Grimm alert! I repeat, Grimm alert!"
Then, as if on cue, a massive shadow black crab rose out of the water. White bones spiked out of the shell and 8 crimson red eyes searched the beach, trying to pick which of the fleeing people to attack. The faunus girl reached into her handbag and removed a silver glove and a silver revolver. As she put the glove on her left hand massive blades shot out of the fingers, creating a malicious-looking claw.
She turned and ran towards the Grimm joined by the girl from earlier who now wielded a massive orange katana.
"Ready?" asked the faunus.
"Don't worry about me, trash."
They both glared at each other, staring icicles.
This stare match continued until a massive claw smashed in between the two, waking them up from their trance.
The human girl ran up the claw, intent on reaching the head of the beast, while the faunus distracted it by bombarding it with revolver shots. The giant crab roared (yeah it roared even though it's a crab) and brought its claws up, ready to crush the tigress. This act however, sent the human flying into the air and as she came down, sent her katana clean through the Grimm's head, piercing its brain and killing it instantly.
As she jumped off its head the human walked towards the faunus, sheathed her sword and held out her hand.
The faunus holstered her revolver and retracted her metal claws
"Not bad, for a faunus"
"Not to bad yourself, for a human."
They both laughed as they shook hands when the faunus said "I'm Ferocia Silverclaw, but you can call me Silver."
"Nice to meet you Silver, my name is Clau..." but before she could finish a black claw crushed her leaving nothing but a pool of crimson blood that stained the sand. The Grimm crab, with a massive hole still in its head, picked itself up and roared, again (Yes I know it's a crab I'm talking about).
"Shit!" Silver cursed before turning and un-sheathing her weapons, basically un-retracting her claws and removing her gun from its holster. As she raised the revolver, it glistened in the sunlight. It was made of sliver and had black engravings of her symbol: a pouncing tiger.
"Giant, mutated, crab, Grimm, thingy meet Sabre (the gun) and Tooth (the claw glove)!" she shouted as she ran towards the Grimm, firing shots repeatedly. It tried to slam her with its claws but she rolled out of the way and kept on running, this time shooting at its eyes. It swung wildly in an attempt to hit her but she expertly dodged every attack until she made it close enough to the beast to jump on its head and run towards the hole in its cranium.
"This is for that random girl you just killed!" she screamed as she plunged Tooth into the hole, causing the crab to shake violently, trying to throw her off. However, considering that she had 10 inch claws stuck in its head, Silver managed to stay on.
"Enough!" she cried as she ripped out Tooth and placed Sabre's barrel into the now considerably larger hole in the Grimm's head. Then came the sound of constant gunfire as Sabre began firing into the beast causing it to screech in agony. The sound alone made onlookers feel pity for the Grimm, something that will never happen again, but eventually after about 5 minuets of constant shot's the Grimm finally fell lifeless to the floor: and didn't get back up.
She jumped off the carcass and casually walked of the beach. She was covered in blood yet didn't seem to notice as she walked through the streets and looked up at the town clock. 12 o'clock. That gave her 3 hours to get ready before leaving for Beacon and starting the journey to become the greatest huntress ever. She laughed to herself as she made her way home; still drawing the eyes of everyone she walked past.
Beacon. Soon to be my new home.
Amber Prologue
The girl stood, scanning the bookshelf for anything that would catch her attention. Finally she her eyes noticed the heavily detailed cover of a new book: Ninjas of Love 2. Apparently, the prequel had some very steamy scenes which the girl decided would make a good read. She grabbed a copy and walked over to the counter and smiled at the receptionist, handing him the book. He pulled a wrinkly hand through his aging air as he read the name and price.
"Ninjas of Love 2? Are you sure you're old enough for this kind of book kid?" he asked, scanning the book in the till.
"Well yeah, I'm 17 now Bernard. Not like you'd remember, you old fart." she joked.
"Ok, ok. That would be 15 lien, Jiang." he said, then, while she counted out the required pay, sighed.
"It's seems like yesterday, when a little 5 year old came running in and stared in awe at the amount of books full of 'adventure and magic'. Now that little girl is all grown up." Bernard reminisced.
"Yes and now she's tying to buy a book from you! Here's your 15 lien." scolded Jiang playfully. "Thanks for the book Bernard."
Before leaving she decided to check herself out in the mirror opposite the till. Her amber Cheongsam (Chinese dress) had white embroidery in the shape of Chinese dragons. It hugged her form and showed of her curves and features, emphasising her beauty that stemmed from her Asian heritage. Her pitch black hair was styled in a simple ponytail which reached to about her shoulders.
She walked out of the shop, saying bye to Bernard, and admired the view from atop the mountain. Her hometown was positioned on top of an old mountain were greenery and mist was constantly present. Before she could walk to the old Siheyuan houses and start on her new book she heard a girl scream.
Bernard appeared beside her and handed her Long chi, her jian (Chinese sword) and shield. Jiang inspected the jian and admired its shining metal blade, and amber leather trimmings that served as the grip. The shield was perfectly circular and was also amber in colour with a design of white dragons circling the shield.
"Hurry up and help that girl." His voice was different, more serious, more emotionless.
"Yes Sensei." Jiang replied before taking off towards the origin of the scream.
She arrived and say 3 men in pure black suits standing over a panda faunus who could only be under 9. The faunus was bruised and bleeding while the men simply watched, bloody machetes in each hand.
"Get away from her now!" She shouted her voice rich with anger.
"Or what, you'll kick us. Maybe bite us?" one of them mocked.
"I'll show you a true bite." She hissed, drawing Long chi. She slashed at the man and a small trickle of blood came from the cut under his eye.
"Stupid girl, now you're gonna pay!" another of the men said before all 3 charged Jiang.
The first one came from the left and brought both blades towards her neck. She simply blocked it with her shield then plunged her jian deep into the man's chest. He seemed surprised to see a sword sticking through him but had no time to wonder as Jiang pulled the jian out and twirled, decapitating the man. Blood spurted from his neck and his comrades stared, open mouthed, at the young woman. Then, summoning their courage, both attacked her at the same time. She blocked all the machetes, 2 with her shield and 2 with her blade, but grew tired as both men pushed the weapons closer to her. However, as she neared defeat she pushed both men back the slightest bit and ducked. The men couldn't stop from disembowelling each other as they swung, trying to hit Jiang. They shared the same look of confusion that their companion had shown moments before.
"Idiots." Jiang mumbled as the both fell, dead. Then, sheathing Long chi, she picked up the faunus and rushed her to the hospital back at the village.
A week later she waited at the village's airport for her flight to Vale. When she got there, another airship would pick her and others up and take all of them to Beacon academy. As she stepped on the flyer, Jiang heard a voice behind her and saw the panda faunus running towards her.
"Bye Jiang, thanks again for helping me!" said the panda girl. Before Jiang could respond an older male voice spoke up.
"Leave child, I need to speak with Jiang in peace." Bernard said.
"Ok uncle Bernard." came the reply before the girl ran of.
"Goodbye child." He said to Jiang.
"Goodbye Sensei. I'll make sure to be back for the winter holiday." She replied, bowing before him.
"Oh, and one more thing," she said as the Airship's doors started to close, "Stop calling me child!"
Bernard smiled and watched the Ship go until it became enveloped by the mist...
"May Beacon hold everything you seek."
Indigo Prologue
"Lilac squad what's your status?" came the voice from the mic, muffled by the sounds of gunfire and explosions.
"This is Indigo 5, sir. I'm the only survivor from both indigo and lilac squads." replied a teenage voice.
"Shit! Get to cover and stay there Indigo 5 while I send a Bullhead to your position for extraction."
"No. With all due respect sir, I'm going to finish this mission no matter what."
Indigo didn't hear the commander's reply as he turned off the headset. Instead he fired a few shots from his rifle at the 2 men who were shooting at him while he took cover behind a crumbling wall. Both fell with multiple bullet wounds. Indigo then checked if the coast was clear and located a pile of sandbags he could take cover behind. Taking a deep breath, Indigo rushed across the deserted street. Suddenly, he heard a loud crack and was thrown back onto the desert floor. His vision became blurred but he could still tell that his left arm was practically non-existent. Instead, in its place was a puddle of blood that gushed out of his gory shoulder. Indigo looked at the sky as death's sweet embrace took him.
"GAME OVER" the screen read.
"Damn! How could I forget snipers? Argh!" screamed the teen banging his fist on the table. "Must remember for next time."
"Dear, when is your plane?" called his mother, who started making her way down the stairs. He turned as she entered the room.
"4, mum"
"Well its 3 now so get up and let me see the suit."
Obediently, he stood up and turned around letting his mother examine him. He wore an indigo suit which consisted of: An indigo blazer, a white shirt, indigo tie and indigo trousers. The teenager wore formal black shoes and his short, bright purple hair was spiked upwards. A pair of black rectangular glasses completed the 'cool yet well-dressed' look. A tear formed in his mother's eye.
"You look amazing, just like your dad;" she said "here is something he would have wanted you to have." His mother held up a large black case. The teen opened it and pulled out an indigo sniper rifle (Looks like a Barret 50. cal) and a leather sheath to go over his back. He put the sheath on and inspected the gun.
"Pinpoint accuracy up to a mile. Enough stopping power to halt a charging ursa. However, it has enough kick to throw you backwards so I recommend using it when you are in a fixed position. Do you like it Harry?" said his mother, explaining the weapon. At the mention of his name the teen turned sour.
"First of all, don't call me Harry. It's Lance." He said, his voice rich with hatred. "Secondly, I think it's awesome."
"Ok Har... I mean Lance. Now press the button just below the trigger."
He did and the barrel became half its original length.
"In this form it becomes a SMG which can fire 100 rounds per minute and has a clip of 50 rounds."
"Nice"
"Flip the little switch on the stock."
Lance did and a blade shot out underneath the barrel, turning the gun into a pike.
"This is insane." He murmured then aimed down the sights of his weapon, getting a feel for it. He noticed the spear wouldn't take much strain and was meant only for last-second attacks. After he was satisfied, Lance returned the weapon to rifle form and holstered it.
"Your father never named it so that's up to you, Lance. Anyway, your bags are at the front and ready to go." said his mother, smiling.
"Ok mum, bye. I love you." Lance said as he kissed her and walked out the front door.
"Love you too! And make sure you phone me!" His mother called as he reached the end of the road. Lance waved back before turning the corner and had a rather uneventful journey to the airport.
