The Black Huntsman
By: Kurama Sage
A/N: Ok so I recently got into RWBY thanks to my brother and I thought that I would try a fic out for it. I've seen both volumes 1 and 2 so lets see how it goes. It really is a great show. This story will follow some canon but will go into AU territory. I'm not really set on the parings yet, I just know who my OC, Dante "Black Lightning" Iverson will be with.
Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY. That honor goes straight to Rooster Teeth for a great fucking idea that it is, BUT MAKE MORE FUCKING RED VS BLUE YOU FUCKERS!
It was a big day in Los Angles. It was the day of the State Football Championship. Everyone showed up to see the number 1 recruit in the nation try to win his first championship. His first three years were all derailed by injuries of key players in the first few rounds of the playoffs. Even the scouts said that this kid could go far. The person that was on everyone's mind was none other than star Quarterback/Safety, Dante Iverson, son of Philadelphia 76ers great Allen Iverson. He was 18 and stood 5'11", 185 pounds so he was on the smaller side quarterbacks. He had piercing blue eyes and had mid-back length black dreadlocks with red tips did up in ponytail so that it wouldn't get in the way of his vision he was well built and his muscle were shown through his skin tight sleeveless under armor shirt. His arms were covered in tribal arm sleeve tattoos. He was currently getting ready for the upcoming game in his usual way; by listening Tech N9ne and looking over his playbook.
It was during this time that his coach came up to him to talk to him. Feeling a tap on his shoulder he looked up and pulled his Soul Headphones off. "What's up Coach T?"
Coach T smiled at him. "This is it kid. Come on its time to address the team and as team captain you gotta give your speech before we head to the tunnel."
Dante smiled, "Well lets go." He got up and went with the coach to the center of the locker room to address the rest of the team.
Coach T stood in the center of his team and looked over everyone. He was expecting to see nervous players about playing in their first ever championship game. Instead he saw men looking ready to take what they worked so hard for. Coach T chuckled and began his short and sweet speech. Emphasis on short and sweet. "Ok men I know that you're all expecting me to give you all a speech about how we need to win this game. Well I'm not. I'm not even going to give you a speech. I'll see you men on the field." And walked off after nodding his head and his captain.
After Coach T left murmurs broke out until Dante stood in the center of his team. "Alright listen up. Coach T was right he wasn't going to give us a speech." Everyone looked at him with curiosity. "Because today that's my job. We have all worked too damn hard to get where we are to lose right now. Now everyone stand up and get you gear." He waited until everyone had their stuff and gathered in a circle around him to continue. "Can you feel that? Can you feel that thing that's beating inside your chest right now? Can you feel what's about to happen on this field? When you look back on this day, you will see that we came into this game as champions not in body. But in mind. When we go out onto that field out there I want you to leave everything you have on that field. Alright!?" everyone started yelling and Dante smiled. "Alright lets hit the tunnel!"
With that they all ran to the entrance tunnel, which was by the band and student section of the UCLA Bruins stadium.
Dante turned back to everyone while looking through his Revo-Speed helmet with a black visor. "Alright you all know the drill lets pray." He said this loud enough so that the entire team could hear him.
"Dear Lord the battles we go through life.
(Dear Lord the battles we go through life.)
We ask for a chance that's fair.
(We ask for a chance that's fair.)
A chance to equal our strides.
(A chance to equal our strides.)
A chance to do or dare.
A chance to do or dare.)
And if we win.
(And if we win.)
Let it be by the code.
(Let it be by the code.)
With faith and honor held high.
(With faith and honor held high.)
And if we lose.
(And if we lose)
Let us stand by the road.
(Let us stand by the road.)
And cheer as the winners go by.
(And cheer as the winners go by.)
DAY BY DAY!
(DAY BY DAY!)
WE GET BETTER AND BETTER!
(WE GET BETTER AND BETTER!)
UNTIL WE CAN'T BE BEAT!
(UNTIL WE CAN'T BE BEAT!)
WON'T BE BEAT!
(WON'T BE BEAT!)
AHHHH!"
With that they charged onto the field and proceeded to win their first ever State Championship. It was then where things went completely down hill. In the midst of celebrating their win on the field, a storm blew in. As everyone tried to get inside to stay dry, all hell broke lose. The storm escalated to a thunderstorm quickly. The winds were so fierce that it was blowing people back. Everyone began running to the shelter of the buildings. Dante was in the back trying to direct people inside he knew that with his 4.24 40' time that he could make it to the locker room in time to be ok. What he didn't know was that fate decided to be an asshole to him today. As he was directing the last bit of people he heard a scream from behind him. He turned to see his little sister stuck on the sidelines from team's equipment.
Without a second thought he ran to get her without a second regard to his teammates shouting for him to come back. As he got closer to his sister the storm got worse.
"Big Bro help me!"
"I'm right her Sophie! I gotcha!" he said as he got her out from under everything. "Now I want you to hold on ok?" he told her as he picked her up bridal style and ran with her to the locker rooms. Lightning was striking all around him as he ran. As he was almost to the locker room, a red lightning bolt struck the ground behind him. Looking down he saw cracks forming around him on the ground. 'Shit! With how this is going I might not be able to make it!' He thought. He looked at his sister and immediately knew what he had to do. He started running again and moved her into a position to throw. As he ran the ground started to give way under him. When the ground completely broke from under him, sending both him and his sister down, he threw his sister to safety. The last thing he heard before darkness took him over was everyone screaming his name.
It felt like hours to Dante as he fell through a black void. In all but a second the void became lush with color. He opened his eyes to see he was falling in a type of vortex. "What the fuck?"
"Oh I see you're finally up." A voice beside him spoke up.
Looking up he saw a man sitting in mid air next to him he wore black jeans with a pair of Chuck Taylors and had a white sleeveless shirt on with a white zip up hoodie on top of it. He had crystal blue eyes and spike red hair with black tips. "Dustin? What the hell are you doing here?" He asked shocked and confused.
Dustin chuckled. "Well if you must know, I was right there with sis when she was trapped under the equipment but you didn't see me. I fell in here before you did. And before you ask, no I don't know where we are."
Dante sighed and stood up. And stared around until he looked down. His eyes grew wide and he started stuttering.
Dustin rose his eyebrow. "Why are you stuttering about?
Dante just pointed down. Dustin looked down and only thing popped into his mind. "Well fuck". And with that Dante and Dustin fell out of the void and into the forest below them.
And that is the first part of this story. I know its short, but I want to see how you guys take it before I really start to get into it. Please read and review I really appreciate you guys' feedback.
