(A/N): Hello everyone, YAKOM here with a new story by the name of Rubrum Mors, or Red Death. This - if you haven't figured it out already - is a RWBY and Xenoblade cross-over. I came up with the idea while playing Xenoblade an noticing the physical similarities between Shulk and Jaune
I hope you enjoy.
Jaune needed to get his mind off things, and his routine wandering of the emerald forest surly helped. Especially when he's being surounded by grimm on all sides.
"Woo, just what I wanted!" He mocked, cutting through each one. "Alright! I'm really feeling it!"
Jaune had been fighting for sometime now, why are they still coming? Several grimm surrounded him, he could take those. What scared him was the B-class that suddenly decided to show up. Calamari - a squid like grim, it rapidly generates tenticles to suck the life out of it's pray. I better take it out before this becomes a hentai. Too bad Jaune soon had to revaluate his skills and prowess, and did after a well-placed strike to the stomach. Upon hitting a tree, he realized he needed to find the rest of his team, and team RWBY, for they often accompany him. They see it as a team bonding experience, though sometimes the seperate like now. Obviously not the smartest idea.
"Pyrrah! Yang! Blake! Anyone! Hell, I'll even take Weiss, just help!" He cried, running through the forest.
In response, Blake and Ruby merged with his path, all of them running beside each other.
"What happened to you guys?" Jaune asked, running with them.
"Grimm, B-class." Blake answered simply, While she didn't talk much, she talked even less in battle.
"Same." Ruby said.
"So, you guys are saying we're being chased by three B-classes!?"
"Yup, I got a deathstalker's aggro on me." Blake replied, they did need to know what they were up against.
"Nevermore is after me." Ruby followed in response.
"Well, this calamari is getting clingy. We better do something before one of us gets tentacle raped," Jaune joked; however, his serious demeanor never left him. Something quickly drew his attention, a massive structure. It looked like a massive hand, the size of Beacon. How this went unnoticed, Jaune had no idea. However, if it hid itself so well, it could hide them too.
"Quick! That cave!" Jaune pointed it out.
"Go!" Blake said.
They all rushed into the cave and took positions behind objects to obscure their positions. Hiding wasn't the worst idea ever created.
"Everyone okay?" Jaune asked, he needed to be a responsible leader.
"Yeah... ugh..." Blake said, her falling out contradicting her claim.
Jaune quickly responded and caught her. It was in this moment he could reflect on her beauty. Moments he received at least once for every girl he'd ever met. This was when Blake's beauty presented itself. Her hair flowing down brilliantly down to the floor as he cradled her close to the ground. Her eyeshade giving off the sense of mystery she often always did. When awake, her eyes would often hypnotize him.
Jaune would've continued his reflections had the cave not started rumbling. Little did they know, they had wandered into a nest of arachnias - rare B-class grimm in the shape of massive spiders only common in area's of high dust concentration. Why dust? In that moment, an arachnia clamped down on a raw lighting dust crystal and shot electrically charged webs. Oh. Jaune picked Blake up and jumped out of the way. He tumbled until he hit a pedistal. Floating inside it was a strange artifact. A red sword-like object. Having drop Crocea Mors a few hundred feet back, this is what he needed. He grabbed the hilt and pulled it from over his head, to his front.
A blinding light shone through the cave. The sword had cut back and folded unto itself, before releasing a laser extension.
"What... is this?" Jaune's thoughts were interrupted by a unconscious Ruby falling to his side. "Ruby!" He screamed, rage filled him and he charged recklessly towards the arachnia. He was quickly struck down by electric webs, his muscles contracting to the point he couldn't breathe. He had quickly died of suffication.
He quickly came to his senses, still charging the arachnia. What was that!? Realization struck him, giving him time to prevent the webbing from doing the same. He had dodged the web, but upon reaching the oversized spider it had snapped at him. His legs coming clean off from the pressure of the tight jaws.
Realizing the mistake he technically never made, he jumped over the spider.
"Back slash!" He shouted, cutting clean through the spider upon landing. He turned to another on his backside. "Stream edge!" He cut through the top of the arachnia before he turned to the line of three.
"BUSTER!" He shouted at the top of his lungs. The length of the sword doubling in length before crushing down on the three. They instantaneously disintegrated upon contact with the intense hard-light beam.
"I... I think... I got 'em all." He said.
His victory was short-lived however, for his new blade had shot him full of a high amp electrical current. He let out an agonizingly painful shout, tumble unto the ground of what he did not know as, the right hand of The Bionis.
(A/N): Okay! That is the intro to Rubrum Mors. I don't plan on regularly updating this, mainly because there are already people here probably pissed at me for not updating 'It's Not Smut!' enough. So, sorry about that. Now, for those who are unfamiliar with it, I will soon be restarting 'Deus Ex' on my fictionpress. It just wasn't going in the direction I intended it to. If you haven't read that, you should. Especially if you like RWBY. I will also be starting up the Chaosphere universe, something I planed so intricately. From the end game, to alternate timelines. That's enough for now, so until next time... YAKOM!
