Well, hey there. This is the first chapter of my new story. Now, this is a sort of sequel to my other RWBY story. I recommend that you check it out first. It's only 12 chapters and took me roughly a week and a half to write all of it. Although, I will upload the chapters at a slower pace. Anyway, this is a really shitty chapter, but I have a couple of others ready to upload as well and I think that they're better than this one. So if you hate this one, I get it but I would suggest sticking around just to see if it gets better.
Anyway, that's it so enjoy the first chapter of the sequel.
Team CFVY had seen a lot of activity recently. Their overall effectiveness as a whole team had increased greatly. Not much else had happened. They heard that Ruby's brother had disappeared but that was a few years ago. They didn't know much about the whole situation but they couldn't help but feel bad for them.
However, there was one strange occurence that turned into several.
It was a mission like any other. They had been sent out to a village that had been bothered by grimm recently and were expected to deal with them. The locals didn't manage to tell them, however, that the grimm were deathstalkers.
They had strolled out into a clearing in the nearby forest, expecting a simple fight. It turns out that the clearing was right next to the deathstalker nest. They had been ambushed, right when their guard was down.
Velvet was the first to scream. Coco would like to say that she was the only one to scream, but that would be lying. Velvet turned and ran to Yatsuhashi. He put a hand on her shoulder and pushed her behind him.
A deathstalker was right in front of them, ready to attack. Another one was circling them and Yatsuhashi made sure to keep an eye on it, protecting Velvet.
Coco and Fox were at the front of the group. Coco held her position and Fox charged toward the deathstalker. He was about to strike at the beast, when it lifted its stinger and slammed it into the ground in front of Fox.
Fox took this opportunity and slashed at the stinger several times. The grimm lifted its stinger again and backed away.
The deathstalker that circled them charged towards Yatsuhashi. He turned as Velvet screamed, running forward and putting up his blade in a defensive stance. The grimm had swiped at him with its claws and then grabbed onto his sword and pushing down on him. The large man grit his teeth.
The deathstalker was readying its stinger and it soon struck down towards Velvet. Fox and Coco turned to look at them. Fox ran forward in an attempt to push her out of the way.
As the stinger neared the shy girl, there was a rustling sound, it sounded like a large beast, most likely a deathstalker. Coco converted her makeup bag into its minigun form and pointed towards the sound.
In the blink of an eye, a red and white streak had tore across the field, right next to Velvet. The streak stopped and it was a person. They had just saved Velvet.
They wore a hood, pure white, coming to a black tip. They had a black zip up hoodie with red on the zipper. They also had a fairly normal pair of jeans, excluding the sheath on the back of their waist, housing a quite impressive weapon.
They had a pair of strange gauntlets. They stepped towards the grimm and bent their arms up towards their shoulders. They then threw their arms downwards. Inside the top of the gauntlets was a blade. It had a joint in the middle. When unsheathed, the blade will swing around on a pivot. Then the joint will unfold, fully exposing the blade.
The mysterious savior dashed towards the grimm and, before you know it, the blades are stuck inside the creatures head. They use their pure strength and brute force to slowly tear the beasts head in two.
The team froze. One person had been in the fight for no more then 7 seconds and they had already killed a deathstalker. The person just stood there, as the other deathstalker had moved behind them. They turned and rolled out of the way of the creatures stinger.
They looked back at Coco.
"You gonna use that thing?" they yelled.
Coco was afraid of the spread hitting their ally. It could cause serious damage.
Their ally yelled out again.
"Just shoot!" they commanded.
The mysterious person had managed to impale the tail of the beast as it tried to sting them again, holding it in place.
A rain of bullets had flown across the battlefield, a few brushing their new ally. They grunted as they tried to ignore the pain. They finally released the beast and dropped to the ground. Coco, satisfied with the state of the grimm, ran over towards the hooded figure.
She reached down and removed his hood. He had scars on his face, both new and old. He was bleeding down from the side of his forehead. His jacket sleeves had been ripped by the bullets, leaving marks or scars on his arm.
The group gathered around the man. Coco motioned for the others to move back. They complied as she unzipped his hoodie, finding a bullet wound. It had penetrated through his back, probably only just missing his spine.
Coco grabbed one of Fox' blades. She dug the bullet out of the wound. She threw the bullet away and stood up.
"We should get him to a hospital." she stated.
Then, the man on the ground groaned and stirred. Coco crouched down next to him again. She could hear him whispering something.
"My hero." he said quietly, with a smirk.
He groaned as he pulled himself to his feet. He brushed himself off, zipped up his jacket and started walking in the opposite direction of the village.
"Where are you going? Coco asked.
The man put his hands behind his head and stretched.
"Not sure. But probably somewhere better than here." he stated.
Velvet stepped up.
"M-maybe... do you want to... come with us?" the shy girl asked gingerly.
"I'm good. I don't roll with teams." he answered.
So they travelled back to the village, never expecting to see the man again.
A similar thing happened a few weeks later. They were on an extermination mission, there was a White Fang ambush and all that sort of stuff.
Then, out of the blue, the same man shows up to save the day. He was an amazing fighter. He showed a lot of promise with his weapons.
It was too convenient to be a coincidence.
He always showed up at the right time, right place all the time. Whenever Team CFVY was in danger he'd come save them.
After the battle had finished, Coco approached him.
"So what's up? What's all this?" she demanded to know, sounding a little harsh.
"What, I'm not allowed to help out?" he answered innocently.
"Well- no, it's just... why are you doing this?" she replied, blushing. She was sort of embarrassed for making him upset just because he wanted to help.
"Well, I haven't had a good fight in weeks. And you guys seem alright. Sure would be a shame if I let you die. I like you guys." he replied honestly.
Yatsu and Fox thought he was just trying to impress the girls. They just stood their ground, frowning.
Coco sighed. She felt like she would regret what she did next.
"Why don't you come back to Beacon with us?" she asked.
"Don't take it personally but I'm kind of on Atlas' most wanted list so Beacon sorta doesn't like me either. Maybe next time." he told her. He mock saluted goodbye then dashed away.
Coco sighed as Velvet stood beside her.
"Who is that guy?" Velvet questioned.
"No idea." Coco answered.
The team laughed and chuckled as they entered their dorm room back at Beacon. They were all surprised to see the man sitting on their windowsill, facing out.
Yatsu leaned over to Fox and Velvet and whispered "We should push him."
Coco slowly walked over to the window and put a hand on his shoulder. He turned and smiled.
"Thank God this is the right room, otherwise that might have been creepy." he said to himself.
"It still is creepy." Fox whispered to Yatsu. The two giggled like little school girls at the joke.
"So what are you doing here?" Coco questioned.
"Well, I was supposed to come see Ozpin but he rescheduled. So I thought 'Those guys seem pretty cool' and that's pretty much it." he told her.
"Anyway, I didn't catch your name exactly." Coco added.
"Rozen."
That was Ruby's brother.
"Ruby's brother?" Velvet asked shyly.
Rozen sighed and got up. He grabbed a bag off the floor and opened it. Inside were strange looking knee pads, gloves and shoulder braces. He strapped them on and looked out the window.
"Yeah." was all he said as he jumped out the window. However, he didn't fall.
The others were shocked.
"Atlesian gravity armour. Something I... apprehended. Allows the wearer to sustain more damage and grants them the abilty of levitation." he told them. "To make sure they don't die when they jump out of those drop ships.
Coco closed the window jokingly and Rozen slowly floated over and knocked. Yatsu walked over and closed the latch and walked away.
Rozen frowned and floated upwards, towards the roof.
Coco looked at the giant and pouted.
"Well that was rude." she said, punching him in the arm jokingly. She opened the door and stepped outside. It was just beginning to get dark. She made her way down the corridor, heading to the stairwell.
She went up to the top floor and got to the roof. Rozen was sitting on the edge.
"What're you doing up here?" she asked him.
He visibly sighed.
"I don't know. Thinking. I like you, you know? I've saved you many times. Why would I do that if I didn't like you guys? But... I don't want to get attatched." he admitted.
"What do you mean attatched?" the girl asked. She sat down next to him.
"I have spent all my life working alone. For multiple reasons. One of the most important reasons is whenever I develop a relationship with someone, it will always turn to shit, sooner or later. Most of the time, sooner." he said quietly.
Coco frowned. She barely knew this guy but felt the need to just give him a huge hug. So she did. She wrapped her arms around him. He looked at her. She smiled at him. He wrapped an arm around her.
"Well, getting attatched might not be that bad."
