Prologue

"Put that thing down."

"Come on, you're going to make me late. And I hate being late."

"Don't say goodbye. I hate goodbyes."

The leaves of the trees below the cliff rustled as the wind blew. The blue sky was obscured by clouds that foretold of coming rains, and the tall grass bending at the top of the cliff obscured the sight of the teenage boy near the edge of the cliff, meditating. Nine small humanoid figures of different colors floated in a circle around him, as their voices swirled within his head.

"Failure changes those who wish to be the best."

"Rage fuels those who fight for themselves."

"Ambition drives those who create and manipulate."

"Deception raises those who will go far."

"Logic pushes the boundaries of the mind and body."

"Trust helps those who will help you."

"Happiness brings you to your feet in times of despair."

"Fear crushes your foes, and pulls you up after falling."

"Memories give you hope, to make more and keep pushing."

"WE ARE THE META. AND WE ARE STRONG."

"Leonard?"

Instantly, the figures disappeared. The boy turned at the familiar voice. "Hello, Professor Ozpin." He turned back to the cliff and stared out over the Emerald Forest. "It's a cloudy day."

"Indeed." Ozpin took a sip from his mug. "You never did answer me as to whether you would join Beacon."

"I gave you my answer." The boy stood up. "I told you, I'm too good to be a student."

"Yet there is so much you need to learn to do." Ozpin looked at him pointedly.

"Like what?" The boy turned around angrily. He had glowing sky blue eyes and dark brown hair, and a leather glove covered his right hand all the way up to mid-bicep. A glint of metal showed between the edges of his shirt and glove.

"You need to make connections to those your age. You need to learn to trust again." Ozpin stepped forward. "Leonard, I understand that no one will ever understand what you went through, but you have to live in the present more. What you do now will get you nowhere in life."

The boy pulled out a scroll and tapped in a number. "I don't need to go anywhere in life. I was rebuilt for one purpose: to be an assassin. Now that I've escaped that fate, there's nowhere else I'll belong."

"Leonard…"

"Don't call me that." The glow faded from the boy's eyes as he turned away and looked away. "Only one person ever called me that, and she's dead. Call me Church."

"If you won't be a student, be a teacher."

"Huh?" Church turned, slightly interested.

"I'll bring you in as a second year transfer. After beating one of the best students in sparring, I'll explain the class you'll teach an independent course that will involve spending a year away from Beacon."

Church turned back to the forest. "And what would I teach?"

"That's up to you. You can lead them, Church. Train them. Find a family again."

Church turned, the nine figures reappearing floating in the air around him at shoulder level. "I'll do it upon one condition."

"What?" Ozpin asked.

"I teach them to fight. I teach them to destroy. And I teach them to kill."

And that's a wrap guys, but that was fun! I had this brilliant idea ever since RWBY first came out, but I was too busy to write it until now. Being in the military really does to you. Now that I have more free time, I have released this. Updates will be sporadic.

See you all next time!
