The World of Remnant, is a beautiful and harsh environment.
Dark Creatures of Grimm Stalk all know continents and terrorize local populaces, hunting their prey down via dark emotions such as Fear, Despair, and Anger. Hunting and killing all living things that cross their dark paths.
Their favorite prey? Humans and Faunus's (human with animal features and traist) that inhabit the world, attempting to bring civilization to the wild lands of Remnant. Through the mystical like power sources know as Dust, literal crystal stones containing the power of Nature itself, Mankind has manage to make headway into slowly subjecting most of their land under their rule, though not without major setbacks from themselves. Warring tribes of bandits roam the wild lands, stealing, pillaging, and killing their fellow Man for resources or entertainments. Differences in in politics and ownership of land have lead to many disputes between Royal Kingdoms. One Great War was fought over Identity and the ability to express yourself, causing the fall of one Old Kingdom known as Mantle and the rise of a Younger Kingdom known as Atlas when most of the kingdoms banded together to rage war on Mantle and won.
After the Great War, most of the smaller kingdoms became absorbed by their mightier neighbors till only 4 were left: Vacuo, Vale, Atlas and Mistral. Vacuo and Vale sharing the continent of Sanus, Atlas controlling all of Mantle, and Mistral as well having the continent of Haven to itself. These kingdoms and their royal lines would then make the switch over to having Councils to run their governments and people, claiming that no one person should hold such power over the lands.
Many years later the War for Freedom was waged by the Faunus, who during all this had been seen as less then human and sold into slavery. Earning them the freedom and rights of their Human counterparts, they were given the small desert continent of Menegarie, which would become the name of their Kingdom once settled, as a form of reparations. Though While the War For Freedom had been won many Faunus's still experienced extreme forms of racism and discrimination, leading to the rise of The White Fang a peaceful protest group that tried to bring to light the crimes committed against their fellow Faunus, such as the low wages, abuse, and dangerous conditions from working in the Schnee Dust mines under the Schnee Dust Corporation Company. While successful at first after many protest broke down into violent riots and looting, the older leaders were forced to step down and a younger more militant form began to arise. This lead to more violent tactics and attacks against those accused of discriminating against Faunus kind.
While all this was happening though throughout Mankind's history another discovery was made and that was the Discovery of Aura, Aura is the Manifestation of ones Soul and allows the user to access untold special abilities and strength. From super speed, super strength, bending the very elements around themselves, or even slow time itself for a short while it help cto create supermen and women who would go on to become legends during their time. Many chose to become heroes and fought in many battles mostly by hunting down Grimm terrorizing local settlements, earning them the Name of Huntsmen. Eventually many Elder Huntsmen came together and opened schools for those who wished to become just like them, teaching students how to fight the monster's keeping humanity from expanding. One such school is known as Beacon Academy a 4 year training school for those in Vale seeking to become legends.
And this is where our story timeline takes, for it is the time for the Vytal Festival. A huge celebration where the Huntsman Academies enter in their students from 1st and 2nd years to compete in the Vytal Tournament. The Winners bringing much Prestige, Honor, Respect and Revenue to the Academy that host the event and the Academy that wins it all. And tonight was to be the Finals for the entire week long event. The stadium, city, and school filled with cheers and later on merrymaking till early the next morning.
But that is not to be.
Instead the surrounding areas are filled with cries and screams of terror and fear. Black smoke rises from different parts of the City of Vale and areas of Beacon Academy. Grimm have invade the city, those on land running through the city and school grounds seeking out lost and scared souls while their avian brothers filled the skies like dark clouds of harden beaks and talons, fighting and attacking the many Bullhead transports and Atlesian ships, causing many to crash into the ground killing most aboard and starting more fires and further damage. At the beginning of the invasion a massive Dragon like Grimm appeared having long slumbered underneath one of the mountain tops to aid in breaking down the allwas and release more Grimm from it's body. To the Grimm the air filled with dark emotions that they fed upon is like the sweetest of sugary treats to a small child and drives them forth like a black wave of shadows.
White Fang as well are taking advantage of the chaos and confusion, firebombing shops and the police stations, engaging in gun fights with both VPD and Soldiers of Atlas, killing all those who they claim are oppressing them, seeking nothing but vengeance for crimes made against their race all those years ago when they were not seen as equals but as slaves and cattle.
The biggest surprise though came not from the Grimm and White Fang though; the Police, Soldiers, Huntsmen and Huntsmen in training would come to find out as during the event known as the Fall of Beacon, Atlas's newest weapons would turn on the Defenders and turn the battle around for the Enemies. The newly introduced Atlesian Knight-200 ( a more Humanoid looking robot) and the Paladin-290 (an extremely large bipedal tank) suddenly start attacking their allies. Attacking all that they see the Atlas's newest toys once meant to help bring peace and security to those around the world, gun down their former masters.
All hope seems lost and just when the Humans and Faunus of Vale, the Huntsmen and Huntswomen of the four prestigious academies, and Soldiers of Atlas wonder how they could possibly turn the tide while being out number, low on Aura and Dust a single message is spread amongst the Defenders.
"The Beacon Has Been Lit, Aid Has Arrived"
As the Defenders of Vale tried to make sense of the message the Office of the Headmaster of Beacon, Professor Ozpin, standing upon it's large tower that dominated the Beacon Skyline was suddenly filled with a bright and powerful pulse of light, before a beam of pure blue energy was launch from within hitting the main command ship of atlas. This cause a massive explosion and as the ship began to fall out the sky and the signal that was bouncing off of it to all the turncoat robots failed.
For a brief moment nobody moved until one brave private walked towards one of the knights and gave it a small push, knocking it over and onto the ground where it laid motionless. Through out the city more and more groups found themselves surround by shutdown robots and a mighty cheer was heard as the Defenders realized that they had hope, they had a chance to live and see tomorrow.
A hope that grew 4 times when the sound of dozen of squadrons of bullheads came over the Walls of Vale, caring hundreds of fresh Huntsmen, and Atlesian fighter pilots and transports manage to leave their command ships, caring fresh troops and supplies.
The White Fang sensing the turn of the tide quickly ordered a retreat from the city, some discarding their uniforms and hiding out among the frightened populace, while the Grimm were pushed back with extreme prejudice. The White Fang Leadership of Vale Chapter seeing this as a great victory for they manage to blacken the eyes of both the Academies meant to keep the peace and the Military of Atlas, the so called puppet of Schnee Dust company and main oppressor's of Faunus.
While the tide turned and the Defenders begin their final push very few witnessed that the Dragon Grimm had attacked the tower office crushing it before another pulse of light appeared, this one even more pure and white then the previous pulse surrounded the tower and the Dragon became frozen, it's body turned to stone and stuck to the tower and just when everything was thought to be said and done for more explosion came from under the Tower causing itself to fall to the ground, and with that the Fall of Beacon came to a stunning end.
[Underneath Beacon Tower]
Deep beneath Beacon Tower, in a large atrium known only to a select few kneeled a young man of 22 years of age. His thick black hair slicked back, his swimsuit like clothing filled with holes and burn marks. A strange neck apparatus, that was once filled with water, was looking the same the once life giving liquid fully spilled out and quickly evaporating.
Why was it evaporating one may asked, well that would be because the entire basement was a washed in flames, with even more burn and energy blast, and weapons marks littering the room. Across from the young man was an equally young raven haired beauty in a red dress. Like the young man she too was covered in similar holes, looking like they both had been sent through a meat grinder.
At that time both received a message on their scrolls.
"The Beacon Has Been Lit, Aid Has Arrived"
"Give it up Woman!" the young man yelled to her, his breath coming out in pants, "Your scheming ends here and the Prize you sought for is long gone and outside your reach."
The dark haired beauty scowled, "I will destroy you and then I will find the others!" she stood up, tossing her scroll to the side, and summoned forth a glass bow and an arrow made of pure fire and she drew the arrow back, "and when I find them I shall make them suffer, suffer so much that you will hear their cries from the afterlife!"
The man stood up, in his right hand what seemed to be a an extremely large cavalry lance with a hole where the tip should be and a large Gouf Expandable Shield dropping his left arm along with his own scroll, which he then used that hand to rip off the device surrounding his neck, revealing several large gills underneath the black device. Using both his hands he gripped his lance like a rifle and aimed it at the woman in red. A loud humming coming from within the lance as it built up dust energy for one last and final shot.
The female's face paled before it hardened in anger, "Know this you Fishy Bastard that I play for blood, in fact that is the price that must be paid for being allowed become one of Ozpin's pawns!"
The young man smirked in response, thinking of one of his favorite movies, "Well I'm your Huckleberry. Thats just my type of game." before a slight cough broke out from his lips as the smoke filled his lungs. He looked her dead in the eye, mentally trying to psyche her out anything that would give him an upper hand, "Say when…".
As they stood there, the two combatants waiting for the other to make one final move, only one thought was going thru both of their heads.
'And to think… All this happened thanks to some fifteen year old girl in a red hood and her teammates…..'

Now I am sure all my old readers have been wondering what happened? It seemed nearly two years ago I found my groove and was about to start writing again before I went ghost.
A lot of life happened, I lost all the original chpaters for my stories, got into a car accident, lost love, found love again, got together with a new group (go subscribe to Intelligence Denied Productions on Youtube, YAY for shameless plug) and kind of sold my soul to them, won my soul back, reconnected with old friends and became a godfather.
So yeah Life, but lets see if we can restart from what happened two years ago!
Also keep an eye out I will be posting a Poll on my main page for which Story gets update next!.
