A/N: This fic ties in to Monsters and Masks. I don't own RWBY.
"So how did Ozpin... ya know..."
"Get in my head? Its... a long story."
Ruby and Oscar were animatedly conversing, walking along with the rest of RNJR and RWBY, reunited a few days before. Oscar broke off suddenly, listening to the little voice in his head
I'm not little
Can it. What were you saying in the first place?
I was asking you to ask Blake if Adam's Grimm mask was always white and yellow.
Wait a sec.
Oscar relayed the question, and Blake frowned.
"No... Why?"
Oscar relayed what Ozpin was saying almost in real time.
"No...no no NO! Blake, Adam may have been harsh on the train, but he wasn't a monster. He still isn't, but... Blood and Ashes. Cinder must have infected him.
"Infected? Oscar, what the heck is he talking about?!"
"It is difficult, but possible to... infest someone with Grimm matter, and that Grimm takes control of the body."
Everyone was now interested.
"You mean..." Began Yang, "Adam didn't cut off my arm. It using Adam cut off my arm."
"The worst part is Adam still sees what It does."
There was a silence for the time. Everyone pondered this new revelation, that Adam was no more a victim then they were.
Ruby started. "Can it be reversed?"
"The same power that you used to freeze the Dragon could reverse it...in the right amounts. We may see if you can do so, seeing as that's him right over there."
"WAIT, WHA--" was all that Jaune could get out, before Wilt's hilt took him in the temple. Adam walked towards them. Now that they looked, they could see the veins on Adam's mask pulsing.
"Hello to all. And goodbye, seeing as you're in my way.
A/N: And so begins the Argentum Chronicles. Hopefully it's not a trainwreck. I haven't decided whether to ship anyone with Adam yet. Suggestions always welcome. Thanks for reading!
