RWBY: OSIRIS
Chapter 1: What Humanity Lost
Okay, this Fan Fiction is written pre Volume 4 and like most fanfiction's this is in an Alternate Universe. In this universe, it's very different, people and events are altered and some don't even happen.
"Before destruction of Mountain Glenn a young boy was born with scarlet red hair, and silver eyes. He had an unnatural talent for learning quickly; with the right motivation of course. His motivation... was Death."
Ghale Osiris was born in Mistral. At 5 years old his parents were murdered In front of his eyes. He then was adopted by a young couple that were Huntsmen. Their names were Katheryn and Jerald and they took Ghale to Vale hoping he would forget the awful memories. Given the opportunity Ghale was taught most forms of combat. He mastered most martial arts and became very deadly with only his hands. He then went on to master the use many weapons such as; swords like the Rapier and Katana and ranged weapons like the Sniper rifle and sidearm. He learned all of these skills before he was 15. Then Mountain Glenn, where they had lived for ten years, was invaded by the Creatures of Grimm. Both Katheryn and Jerald were killed fighting the Grimm and protecting Ghale. He was then saved by a huntsmen, it was none other than the Head Master of Beacon Academy.
Ghale was then accepted into Beacon Academy and at the time, was the youngest to be accepted into the academy. He experienced his four years of school like any other student. That is until his final mission as a student.
On a snowy mountain cliff south of Vale was the aftermath of a fierce and deadly battle with Ghale and the rest of Team RIOT. Ghale knelt down holding his dying team leader; Mira Riley. Her once shining bright hair was now tarnished by a horrid mix of blood and dirt, blood seeped from a deep gash on her head, and her left arm had been ripped off by the beak of a large Nevermore. Ghale's Crimson hair and face was now covered in blood. On his back was a deep cut from claws of the Nevermore.
Mira tried to speak but no words came out.
"What?" Ghale asked.
She tried again to speak but to no avail. She then began to mouth her words.
"What are you saying? Mira?" Tear flowed out of his eyes, He knew what she was trying to say but he didn't want to hear it, not now, not like this.
Don't say it please. I can't lose her. NOT HER!
Mira stopped trying to speak and used her good hand to grab his face, pulled him near and kiss him. Ghale kissed back.
No, not now.
Mira's head fell back her eyes staring off into nothingness. More tears appeared on Ghale's face.
Not like this.
A loud screech came from behind Ghale. He turned to see his teammates; Osanna Tanaka and Barns Ivory, broken down and beaten. Barns was backing away from the Grimm holding an unconscious Osanna yelling "Back, Get Back!"
Then as if from nowhere, the large Nevermore landed in front of Barns and Osanna. The wind from the Nevermore's landing sent them flying past Ghale, they landed near the edge of the cliff. But at the sight of Nevermore Ghale's eyes began to burn and he stood to face it but was stopped by the sharp pain in his right leg it was broken. He didn't care, he forced himself to stand on it. "No!" Ghale yelled and his vision went white.
Ghale opened his eyes to a white plaster ceiling and a burning migraine. Thank god the blinds on the window were shut because light already leaked through them. He tried to sit up but he got a sharp pain in his back that made him cry out in pain.
"Sir?" A voice said somewhere nearby.
In a blur, a blonde nurse appeared on his right. "Doctor!" She yelled as she turned away. The noise from her voice made his head hurt worse.
"Be silent" A familiar voice said at a lower volume. "I will speak with him."
Ghale heard a door shut softly and a black and green blur moved to his left. Ghale's vision began to clear as he focused on the blur. It was Ozpin; Headmaster of Beacon Academy.
"How are you feeling?" Ozpin asks.
"How do you think?" Ghale replied.
"Terrible."
"Good guess." Ghale tried to sit up once more but Ozpin put a hand on his chest.
"Allow me." Ozpin pressed a button on the side of the bed that slowly moved part of it so Ghale could be in an upright position.
"Thanks." Ghale lifted his arms out of the thin white sheet that he was wrapped in. "Where is everyone?" he asks as he gets into a more comfortable position.
Ozpin hesitates slightly then answers. "Mr. Ivory and Ms. Tanaka are on the second floor recovering perfectly. As for Ms. Riley, she…" he trails off.
"What about her?" He got the answer, the memories from the night before came rushing back. Tears flooded out of his eyes before fully realizing his teammate and friend was dead.
"I'm sorry." Ozpin said as he walked to the room's lone window.
Ghale stared down at his lap with memories of Mira. All the missions they had gone on as a team, the holidays they celebrated together, and even the arguments they had every day.
He thought nothing could make this any worse, but it did get worse, he removed the sheet from him to see that his right leg had been amputated. Ghale was speechless
"But the Vytal Festival?" Ghale asked as he looked to Ozpin. "Mira was in the finals. It's her turn."
"Well…" Ozpin removed his glasses and wiped them with a handkerchief. "A moment of silence, then the tournament would continue." He places his glasses back on his face.
Ghale thought to himself for a moment then spoke. "There have been rumors going around of soldiers in Atlas getting robotic limbs."
"Really."
"Yes, I need one. Now."
"You believe those rumors?" Said a strong and deep voice from the door.
Ghale looked to the door and saw three people. One being Ironwood, a tall man with wide broad shoulders and wearing all white. The one on his right was Glynda, Ghale's aunt. She wore her usual garb, but this time her glasses were removed and she looked as if she had been crying. The third was a blonde man in a white doctor's coat holding a clip board.
Ghale remained focused on Ironwood. "Yeah."
Ironwood looked to Glynda. "Well, it is a very expensive procedure."
"I want it." Everyone looked surprised that Ghale was so forward.
"It may not work. It's still very new." Ironwood said as he took a step forward. "You may not make it."
"How much?"
"About one million Lien." Glynda interjected.
Ghale's heart dropped and he looked back down to his lap. "So in other words 'no'."
The room was silent for what seemed like an eternity to Ghale.
"Well, your parents did leave you some money."
Ghale looked over to her. "A million?"
She looked down at the ground. "Only 500,000. I'm sorry, Ghale."
"No, that's perfect." Ozpin said.
"What?" Said everyone else in unison.
They all stared at him as if he was crazy. "The Grimm were cleared out. And I believe the job was close to 500,000. I'm sure Ironwood wouldn't mind letting you get by without a few thousand." Ozpin said as he gestured to Ironwood.
Ironwood tried to hide a small smile. "I think we could work something out."
"Ghale are you sure?" Glynda said with concern in her voice.
"Yes. How soon can I have it done?"
"We have a room available on my ship."
Ghale hopped out of the hospital bed and balanced himself on his one leg. "Let's get going."
