Hey guys and girls.
Welcome to the premire chapter of RWBNY: Shadows Of The Past.
The second season to RWBNY.
As I explained in the one chapter of RWBNY, this will be the second season to a fanfic I have created. I know RWBNY was powerful and everything was perfect.
But now we take it to a new level. A level where the children carry on with the legacy. But what type of enemy should I put in I wondered? In RWBNY, the Dark Masters, also known as the Apothicons were destroyed entirely by Naruto finishing what Nero and Lindow started all those years ago. Where Naruto used his full power of the Aether to destroy the Apothicons in the Aether itself.
Then the other day I was jamming away, playing Black Ops 3 and the answer was literally shown to me.
This entire fanfic will follow one of Naruto's children. One of his sons to be exact. The son he had with Blake.
So enjoy.
Disclaimers: I own nothing.
Chapter 1: Hell's Child.
Sitting across his father as he watched him work at the few paperwork pages he had left, young Lindow slouched in his seat as his father finished his work and scolded to his son. It had been well over 16 years since The Second Blight ended with Naruto killing the Apothicons' commander and thus creating a whole new form of relationship with the entire world.
Thanks to the Moon Platinum Concord Act that was signed by all races of Remnant after The Second Blight ended years ago, Remnant was now in it's first ever, true form of peace and freedom throughout the world. Not only that, but the Keepers that were trapped in the Aether had been set free to enact their role once more as the guardians of Remnant.
But that wasn't the reason. Due to the influx of transfer students into Fenrir Academy, Naruto's son he had with Blake had begun to take it on himself to not give a shit anymore and think it was fun to lock a few people into a room that had a low level Grimm in the room. Unarmed as a practical joke.
Lindow meerly rolled his eyes only to have his father slam a fist on the desk.
"Lindow. You have no idea how much trouble you're in." barked Naruto to his son.
"Oh come on, pops." barked back Lindow. His voice now toned and refined. "It was a joke."
"A joke that backfired miserably. Lucky for you, your step mother Cinder was walking past and got them out and dealt with the Grimm. This is the 4th time you've been in my office. You're becoming rather the troubled child." snarled Naruto sitting back shaking his head. "Lindow, you're such a brilliant boy. Why do you do this to yourself?"
"You really wanna know?" growled Lindow glarring at his father.
"It's because I'm sick of people comparing me to you. They take one look at me. The first born of all my siblings. And all they see is you. The man who was the Avatar Of The Aether. I've lived in your shadow for too long. I no longer wish of this." hissed Lindow.
"That's one thing. But locking a group of students into a room with a Grimm. I'm sorry, son. But you're suspended from Fenrir Academy." said Naruto only to have Lindow slam his hand on the desk.
"You can't suspend me." he growled. "What am I suppposed to do?"
Naruto meerly shrugged his shoulders. "Hopefully you'll learn to manage yourself better."
"Tsk. You're the same. Always worried about what will happen. All you ever do is sit there and do paperwork while Mother teaches. Do you have any idea as to what I'm going through?" barked Lindow only for Naruto to nod his head.
"As a matter of fact my son. I do. I was once a child like you. How do you think I got to be an adult? I was branded an outcast because of what I was in the past. I know what you're going through because I've been there myself." said Naruto now thinking. "3 weeks suspension. No games, no TV, no phone."
"That's unfair." whined Lindow with his father holding up his hand to stop him.
"I could make it a month and a half." said Naruto with Lindow huffing at what his father just did.
"I hate you. I wish you weren't my father." spat Lindow storming out the office.
"What am I going to do with you my son?" asked Naruto as a Keeper came into existance.
"Leave your son be. There is a chain of events that must be set in motion." said the Keeper with Naruto sighing.
"I know. But what am I going to do with him?" asked Naruto.
"Just leave him be. This must happen." said the Keeper vanishing from sight.
"I don't like where this is going." said Naruto continuing with his paperwork.
With Lindow.
Walking around the continent he grew up in, he growled in frustration at what was going on. He was suspended all because of a joke. His father had no sense of humor. What was his problem?
Looking to the large excavation site that rested on the horizon, Lindow clicked his tongue as he walked in that direction. He always went there to clear his mind of things. He felt so at peace there.
Why was his father such a hard ass on him? Why did he have to be such a pain? It made no sense. Sure he learned all the stories of the exploits of what his father and Team RWBNY did. Then banding together with old enemies to take down cosmic beings to save Remnant and gargle largle lar.
It bored him to absolute death. His frustrations stemmed when people began to compare him to his father and how he looked so much like Naruto. Apart from the cat ears on his head.
This frustration grew to have him now despise his father. He felt trapped, alone, restrained under the shadow of his father. He wanted to spread his wings and take to the sky. To be free and make a name for himself, not being known as the one who was Naruto's son. He wanted to be remembered as Lindow, the legendary Huntsman. But no, fate had to put him as this.
Making his way down the steps of the excavation site, he found the ruined and broken statue of the person who this tomb belonged to. He learnt that he was named after this man, but this was something he didn't like. Once more, he was compared to someone. Walking inside he found the unfunctional MPD device that helped Naruto acheive his full potential and gain the power needed to kill the Dark Masters.
Sitting at the foot of the massive pyramid structure, he breathed out a sigh of regret.
"Why must my life be like this? Why must everyone compare me to my father? It doesn't feel right." he hissed from inside the massive chamber.
But as he continued to brood on how crappy his life was, a stone tablet that had a battle etched onto it flared to life as it hummed with an eerie glow to it. The colour of the glow was a full scarlet red. Slowly walking to the stone image, he soon felt a pulling sensation as he neared the image.
When he was fully up close to the image, he placed his hand on it. But when he tried to remove his hands, he found that he was stuck. Grunting as he pulled his hand off the relic, he soon found himself being suck in. Lindow's eyes widened in shock as he struggled to break free from the object now pulling him in.
"Let me go." he hissed only to be pulled into the relic.
What he found was that he was free falling over Vision. But everything looked different. What was going on? Why was he seeing this? What did it mean? But he soon passed out as he came close to the ground and crashed into the dirt as various livestock took off in every direction from the scare they received.
With Naruto.
Doing his best to finish up his work to go home and get things ready along with Yang and Pyrrha, he soon felt a shiver as his head snapped up to look about. But he dropped his head down and went back to work.
"I get this feeling that I was thinking on someone. But I can't remember who it was. Should I know him?" he thought as he continued to scribble on the pages of his work.
Not knowing the fact that his memory of Lindow, his first son, was wiped from his mind all together.
A Keeper was seen coming into existance as he appeared before Naruto.
"Do you remember anything?" asked the Keeper.
"I remember I was thinking on someone. But I can't remember the name." said Naruto before looking out to the find the excavation site had completely vanished from view.
"This was what I was saying. A chain of events. And it has just been set in motion." said the Keeper fizzling out of existance.
Naruto resumed his work as if nothing happened. But for some reason, he had that feeling that he knew someone, but he just couldn't place his finger on it.
With Lindow.
Slowly opening his to find himself in a bed while he stared up at a stone ceiling while blue crystals were seen dotting the room, providing light and pushing back the darkness, he slowly got up when the door opened.
The person standing there was a woman with short blonde hair and beautiful green blue eyes. Her hair was kept neat and tidy as a flower was in her hair while she wore a white dress that hugged her body rather well, leaving a lot to the imagination.
"Who are you?" asked Lindow.
"I ought to ask you the same thing. But seeing that you asked first. My name is Hotaru. And you are?" asked the woman.
"Lindow. Lindow Stryker. Where am I? It looks like I'm still in Vision. But not the Vision I know." said Lindow with Hotaru arching an eyebrow.
"Vision? What's Vision?" she asked.
"This. This continent is Vision." said Lindow with Hotaru shaking her head.
"Sorry. But this is Agartha. This continent is called Agartha. The land blessed by the gods. Protected by the Keepers." said Hotaru.
"But I swear this place is Vision." said Lindow getting slightly angry.
"And I told you. This place here is Agartha." hissed Hotaru.
"Vision." pressed Lindow.
"Agartha." persisted Hotaru.
"Stop fighting. Hotaru, if our guest is up, please ensure he's okay to move." came another voice downstairs.
"Okay mother." said Hotaru turning to the door.
"Come on. We're going to eat." said Hotaru only to hear Lindow's stomach growl.
Hotaru meerly giggled as she smiled to the young man before her.
"Sounds like someone's also hungry. Come on. Let's get you some food." said Hotaru as Lindow got out of bed.
Walking down the steps ashe followed Hotaru, Lindow found a crystal like chandelier above a small dining room table as a woman with blonde hair finished with the food that she was cooking. Turning around, Lindow found her to be also rather cute. She was also wearing the same clothing as Hotaru.
The woman smiled as she placed the food down. They sat down and began to eat. The woman looked at Lindow and wonder what he was doing and how he got here.
"Boy, where did you come from?" asked the woman.
"I came from here. Vision." responded Lindow.
"But this isn't Vision. This continent is called Agartha." said the woman.
"Thank you. That's what I said." said Hotaru with Lindow rolling his eyes before an idea popped in his head.
"What year is it?" he asked them.
"The year is 2077." said the woman with Lindow going pale.
"No way. The place I came from, the year was 2198." said Lindow with them going wide eyed.
"So you came from the future? That's so cool." said Hotaru with her mother placing a hand on her.
"Now now Hotaru. We're at the table. Calm yourself." she said with Hotaru sitting back down. "But a man from the future. What's it like there?"
"Uh, it's rather peaceful. People have been experiencing peace never dreamed of. The Faunus, Reapers and humans are living in harmony with zero discrimination." said Lindow with the mother raising an eyebrow.
"What's a Reaper?" asked the mother.
"A Reaper is someone like me. Though I'm half Reaper. My mother was a Faunus, that's why I have cat ears. She was a cat Faunus." replied Lindow with his cat ears twitching a bit.
"This is so much to take in. But you should know my name. My name is Konan. This is my daughter, Hotaru. We've been living here on this farm for quite some time. Hotaru's father passed on when Hotaru was only 3 years old." said the woman.
"I'm sorry for your lose." said Lindow bowing his head. "Any form of leadership?"
"Why yes. The Overseers and the Priestess. The Priestess is the one who is the medium between us and the Keepers. The Overseers watch over the peace of our world." said Hotaru.
"I see. I have to go and see this Priestess in order to understand what happened to me. And see if I can get back home. Father must be worried sick about me." said Lindow.
"We'll see her tomorrow, but right now. You must be famished. Eat up." said Konan laying out some food for them.
And scene.
So the first new chapter for RWBNY: Shadows Of The Past has jus been released. With such a development happening, a lot has happened. Lindow, Naruto's son has been thrown into the past and he is now thinking on ways to gett back home to the future.
Not even knowing that his father's mind has been erased of any trace that he had a son with Blake. As well, this fanfic is going to be like an endless loop happening. If you remember from all those chapters for RWBNY, one such chapter was where Lindow called Naruto father.
As well, Lindow will be paired with one girl.
Hotaru.
There will be a few elements here and there. But for now only Hotaru.
Now we shall see what happens.
Chapter 2: Priestesses And Beasts.
Coming soon.
