RWBY/bionicle Crossover
I do not Own RWBY or Bionicle
They Belong to RoosterTeeth and Lego Respectively
Chapter one:The Outsider.
It's been 2 weeks since the Grimm attack on vale caused by the white fang, since then Team RWBY has been focusing on relaxing and studying for their classes.
But for yang Xiao long she decided she could use some 'me' time.
Heading downtown, riding her favourite motorbike she lovingly named "bumblebee" she reached her destination.
A bar labeled the "Winters Embrace"
It was a little tacky but they made some pretty good drinks.
And they especially know how to make a Strawberry sunrise.
Yang walked into the bar to see the laid back Cat Faunus bartender cleaning another glass before looking up. A small gathering of people present having good time talking about past events or even dancing to the soft music.
"Well if it isn't the little Sunrise herself! What can I get you?" Joe asked with a smile.
Yang likes Joe; man doesn't give a care in the world as long as his customers are happy, that and he don't care about the age limit of drinking.
"The usual Joe, I have to be back at Beacon soon Ice Queen would tear into me if she found out I'm going out so soon before our group studying." She laughed; Weiss was not the most forgiving when it came to Yang's outings mostly because they happen so soon to tests or quizzes.
She sat down as Joe got the drink ready, scanning the crowd to get a read on the mood, it was calm but their was a air of tense emotion, she had seen it too many times in recent days.
Joe came to her seat with the drink, an umbrella in the glass.
"It will get better… people are just still recovering from the shock."
Yang sighed.
"Yeah… but still makes you think yah know?" she muttered as she took the drink thanking Joe. Taking a sip of the glass she relaxed for a bit while thinking about all that had happened recently, White fang crimes have disappeared, Torchwick is finally behind bars and Team Rwby is finally getting the last preparations of the tournament ready and she couldn't wait to feel the rush again.
She smiled at the thought,
It was then out of the corner of her eye she noticed something…or someone.
Far in the corner of the bar by an open window that let the moonlight down was a round table seating for a group. There was only one patron though.
This was the kind of guy that Qrow or her Dad would mention in their tales of going out on missions.
The Guy was completely cloaked, Hood so over his face that she couldn't even see the facial expressions. The whole body was shrouded with the black fabric, the figure had to be about 7 feet high.
A drink in hand and an empty plate covered in crumbs. But the most striking thing about him was the scythe.
Or rather Scythes.
A Wrist mounted weapon that was currently locked up on his forearm, ensuring the wielder could move his hand with ease. Her little sister Ruby would kill to get a good look at that kind of weapon.
She never had seen him before.
As Joe came around to reach another group of customers Yang tapped his arm politely to get his attention.
"Hey…the Grimm reaper in the corner…who is he?" she quietly asked
Joe's happy expression turned to one of seriousness and a tinge of fear.
"I only got a name out of him… Man showed up about 4 days ago, does the exact same thing: Shows up completely out of nowhere and I mean out of nowhere. I asked about a dozen people of where he went next and they had no clue…" Joe spoke with a hushed voice.
Yang listened as her eyes drifted back to the figure. And she swore his head lifted up for a second.
"Always sits at that table at the exact same time and orders the same thing, a bottle of water and a plate of food, only once did he ask for a beer, that was yesterday, the patrons complained that the room gets cold and its always when he's here." He said with a slight hint in his tone.
"Huntsman?" yang suggested. Ice base semblances were rare to the point of impossibility but Ice Dust was a common thing, probably this guys favourite.
Joe shook his head. "Not one I know, goes by the name 'Matoro'." he finished as he hurried to the other customers.
Yang tilted her head in confusion "Matoro?" she whispered. She's heard a lot of crazy names but this one was defiantly an eyebrow raiser, most names were associated with color this one was just…different.
She looked back to see the stranger still their drinking from a bottle of beer, probably liked the first one.
She made a decision, probably pretty stupid one. After she used her scroll for a second.
She got up as she placed a good amount of Lien including a tip as she strode to the table where Matoro sat.
She got ready putting on her best 'Dumb cute blonde ' act she usually pulls to get an upper hand.
"Hello!" she waved in the most sweetly way possible.
The figure looked up and turned his hooded head to look at her. She noticed the temperature fluctuating for a split second causing her to shiver.
"…" The figure looked at her with a gaze that suggested he was gauging why she was here.
"Man don't give me the …'cold' shoulder here" Yang punned giving a wink.
Surprisingly Matoro laughed. It was a small chuckle but it was…kind of good to see it.
"What can I do for you?" Matoro asked the voice sounding like it was never used in ages. Like the person decided speech was not needed for a long time. But there was some sadness in it…
"Well I'm hoping you can buy a girl a drink and maybe we can get to know each other." She smiled as she leaned on the side of the table with one hand to support herself.
Matoro's head tilted as if he was curious about something.
"Isn't the Drinking age 21?" he spoke with some humour in his voice.
Yang grinned as she waved it off.
"Ah its cool, Joes pretty chill."
She took the chance to sit down as she tried even harder to get a read off this figure. The air was cooler than anywhere else in the bar so that confirmed he's the source of the cold snap and she also got a closer look at his weapon of choice. It was Beautiful, the curves the shining silver of the blade, and even the clockwork that controlled it was so fluid she could swear it almost looked like the weapon was a part of him, ok if she didn't stop she's goanna end up like Ruby, cute little geek.
"Something catch your eye?" Matoro asked as he waved the waitress over to order a drink. But as he raised his weapon arm. She saw his hand.
It was as white as an arctic glacier completely mechanical, though she could have sworn there was something else intermingled with its workings.
Her jaw dropped at the sight. Did he lose it?
"You all right?" he asked with concern, not even fazed he just showed his arm.
"Y-yeah I though for a dark and mysterious guy you wear the cloak because…"
Matoro noticed his arm was exposed and silently covered it.
"I know why you're here." He cut her off this time was serous.
"wha-"
"Its pretty obvious, Outsider comes to a Bar, you never seen him before, and you're the kind of person that's probably not as ditsy as your leading me to believe so the biggest question is. What do you want to know of me?"
Yang was silent for a bit, this guy was sharp; she had to be careful here.
"Well…what's your name?"
"Matoro. Yours?"
"I'm Yang. Yang Xaio-long"
"Hmm,(little sun dragon huh?..) Interesting. So what do you wish to know about?"
"Well, I guess just because I've…never seen a weapon like yours before. Where did you get it" Smooth; now she really is thinking like Ruby.
Matoro looked to the twin scythes with curiosity.
"You would never believe me even if I told you how it was made, you could say that it was a gift..." Yang decides to take his word for it.
"Alright…Sooo…" Yang uncomfortably paused trying to find another topic.
Her eyes fell upon a black object on his belt.
"What's that on your belt?" she asked
Matoro's hand instantly clamped onto the Object and the Weapon on his right arm clicked in a warning. And the temperature plummeted
The Bar went silent.
That was when Yang saw his eyes,
Burning orange orbs that burned in the dark, she couldn't see the iris but see could see his emotion. Daring her to do something and when she looked back at that same object that enticed this reaction. His covered hand was griping it with a fierce intent.
She looked back and the eyes were piercing into her own lilac colored eyes. It was unsettling like he saw right into her.
After a couple of tense moments the figure sighed in exhaustion as he pulled the cloak over the object and the Scythes went to a relaxed position. And the air started to warm.
The bar went back to its ways though much more aware of the 2 in the moonlight.
The waitress came over with the 2 drinks he ordered, a strawberry sunrise and an unopened bottle of beer.
"Thank you." He quietly said as he handed the Lien to the waitress, even giving a double tip.
The waitress passed the drinks and walked away, Yang's eyes never left Matoro as she did.
"I apologize, its just that…No ones mentioned it before…" he said as he grabbed the bottle, opening it on the table.
"Yeah…I bet…you never answered"
"Its something that…was better off where it was."
Matoro stayed silent for a moment. Drinking the beer slowly, Yang barely sipping hers, Ember Celica ready to unfold on a seconds notice
"Tell me something…what do you consider to be most important to you, more than anything in the world." He asked
The question kinda threw her off
"What do you mean?"
"I think you know."
Yang thought for a moment.
"Family."
Matoro seemed satisfied with this answer
"Then hold onto it, never let anyone determine what is yours."
"Ok…. how about you then, I answered your question." Yang
"what would that be?"
"well what kingdom did you come from can't be atlas right?"
Matoro nodded but then looked up to the moon.
"There will be a tale I will tell you…not now…but when you and the others are ready."
"Wait what?" Yang asked as Matoro stood up and started walking away.
"He-Hey! Come back!"
What did he mean by 'others'
But as Matoro walked out the bar door and turned the corner, yang rushed to catch up, she lost eye contact but knew the pace he was walking he cant get far.
She busted out the doors and looked in the direction he turned and…
He was gone…
"Wha—Where did he go?!" Yang's eyes flashed red briefly in frustration
Their was no way he could move that fast….
And now she was left with a mountain of questions that may never be answered
Left alone in the light of the shattered moon
"I'm telling you the guy just disappeared!" Yang repeated for the hundredth time.
"But some one should have seen him later on? So why didn't they?" her partner Blake asked as team RWBY walked down the Halls to their dorm
"I DON'T KNOW! The guy was just 2 seconds a head of me and he just vanishes!" Yang was still mift that the guy gave her the slip.
"Yang calm down its okay, Joe said he comes back at the same time right?" her Red cloaked leader of an adorable sister did her best to sooth her sisters temper.
"Yeah…every night at 8pm." Then the same idea came to her head and a small grin came to her face.
"Then I Your team leader have decided that we should confront this Huntsman and interrogate him to find out more!" she announced with a little heroic pose. That's when Weiss decided to burst the bubble.
"I think you might be forgetting something Ruby…" she muttered
"What's that?" Ruby asked
"Well other than this guys name we still know next to nothing about this 'Matoro' For all we know he could be a part of the White fa-" she stopped a moment at the Pointed look from Blake, Cat ears twitching with annoyance at this accusation under the Bow.
"Not that he being a fanuns might be an issue…but still we have to be careful, he's dangerous."
"Well I believe we should put this to a vote!" ruby said with a smile
*3 dings and a buzz later
"Then it's settled! Tomorrow night we find this guy and make him talk!"
Yang's mood improved with her sister's enthusiasm that's when she remembered something.
"Well even if he doesn't, I'm sure you'll like to see this up close."
Pulling out her scroll Yang showed Ruby the picture she took at the bar
"EEEEEEEEE!" Ruby squeed
"HES GOT DUAL wrist mounted SCYTHES!"Her eyes sparked with unparalleled excitement.
The other 2 looked very concerned.
"Come on guys, we better get to bed." Weiss said with a small yawn
The others agreed and went to their room.
But they never noticed the certain mistral Trio, with a certain half maiden as their leader. Lurking in the darkness
"Hmmm. Interesting."
They'll be here…
He was certain of it.
Matoro sat in the bar as he waited, the girls probably wanted to make sure they didn't arrive too early.
He pondered of where this self-imposed exile has taken him
He had traveled to many different dimensions before, helped out as much as he could…but never enough to redeem himself…
He looked down at the bottle of the sharp tasting liquid he was offered here. It was good in some regards, foul in others but he learned to ignore those
There was much that displeased him, and much more he wished he could ignore.
It took him quite a bit to learn the language but he managed. He was a translator after all.
He may never know what drew him here, Perhaps it was the over abundance of death that the Grimm apparently love to create. Grimm, Creature of anonymity, perfectly appropriate.
Rahi never acted like homicidal psychopaths. He had slayed a great deal of the beasts especially during the attack caused by the White fang, that's when he saw them.
Red, White, Black and Yellow
He was about to continue his pondering when the doors burst open.
There here.
Team RWBY walked up to the Bartender to ask about what they already know.
A finger pointing later and the team looks in his direction.
He never expected the cloud of petals.
"OMIGOSH IT'S SOOO, COOOOL!" A little red form clung to his arm practically zipping like a Le-matoran on caffeine examining each component, even Nuparu was less enthusiastic about weapons than this girl was currently. He swore she would have torn his arm out if she weren't using self-restraint.
"IT'S GOT SO MUCH SELF CONTROL, BLADES CAN BE INDEPENET, CLOCKWORK IS LIKE A DREAM, AND ITS SOOO BEAUTIFUL! PLEASE MARRY CREASENT ROSE!" ok she just reached crazy.
"I…Believe that's enough swooning over ones weapon for one day sis." Yang said with a sweat drop as she pried her sister with a great feat of strength. All the while red was weeping at her separation.
Blake started first.
"Ah…Ahem, Are you…Matoro?" she asked.
"I believe I am if I'm the one you're looking for."
"Well we would like to ask you something.'
"How did I know about the rest of you?' Matoro
"Yeah, some of us are famous. but even then you can't just know who we are." Weiss joined in, Matoro looked down at his food as he grabbed a piece before holding it before the maw of the hood
"You are correct, I know your names and abilities, but I don't KNOW who you are personally." He said as he looked at each of their reactions.
They all looked at each other with curiosity in their eyes
"So…you knew we were coming?" Ruby asked
"Of course your friend still has many questions," Matoro said while eating the food bit
"Sister actually, How did you just disappear like that?" yang placed her palm on the table her eyes looking straight into matoro's hood, the orange color faint.
"…I'm not sure if you're ready for the tale just yet…" he said as he stood up.
All 4 of them took in his imposing height, but yang was not deterred
"Oh no you don't!" she grab his weapon arm and pulled him to a stop.
"You want to tell us something, then tell us! We've been though enough investigating to deal with another shady cryptic character." Yang said as her eyes flicked red.
They all stood silent as the starting contest lasted
Then the bar doors opened again.
They looked over to see 2 people walk in.
People team RWBY recognises.
"Mercury?" Weiss said.
"Emerald?" Ruby also.
"You know them…" Matoro whispered dangerously, Yang's grip not letting up but she could feel though his motions that something was wrong.
"Why? their from Mistral for the tournament, we've talked to each other a couple of times their ok."
"And unlike how your thinking if I know anything…outside of the 5 of us, they would not ask to know where I am and not you after following you 4 with out you even knowing…"
They got the message.
"You mean?"
Once Emerald and mercury with an air of smug confidence came to Joe and started asking about something, Matoro after escaping yang's grasp moved along to distance himself but not before telling the others to stay silent and out of sight.
Once the question was asked Joe pointed to behind them.
Matoro moved to a table in the middle of the bar. In the same direction Joe pointed.
Confirming both his and RWBY's suspicions. Team RWBY stayed hidden as the 2 turned to look where he was
"What are they doing here?" Ruby whispered.
"Shh" Weiss hushed.
"None of us told them we were here right? So how did they find this pace?" Yang asked
Blake with narrowed eyes watched this new point of view of their so-called "friends"
"No we didn't, lets watch… "
Emerald was first to great Matoro. She then took a seat after a few words were exchanged and matoro offering drinks, mercury followed next.
2 minutes passed and the mint haired girl and the kick-boxer were getting frustrated about something as they talked.
Then something peculiar happened.
Emerald seemed to notice something.
Ruby watched as he tried to cover-up what she noticed. It was calm but the temperature started to shift. A soft clicking noise was heared.
Yang's ember Celica unfolded.
"I think were gonna have trouble here…" she said warily
Emerald seemed to be very keen on finding out, Mercury on the other hand rolled his eyes as emerald started to lean closer. The temperature going into a free-fall at this point
Her eyes locked on him.
And the Frost came.
Everyone but RWBY fled at this point
Like a Blizzard unleashed he exploded with a swung his scythes in her direction, snowflakes flying at blinding speeds, emerald barely dodging out of the way. A backhand though smacked her away with unexpected strength as she was launched into the tables. A deep cut in her check from the blades could be seen as her aura flashed before fazing out.
Team RWBY gasped.
Mercury tried to use one of his greaves to kick him in the head but a whirlwind of ice blocked all their visions.
When the ice cleared Mercury's foot was separated from his body. The stump sparking with electricity. Matoro didn't even lift a muscle
"How the?!" Mercury sputtered
Matoro then slashed him away with the twin cutters sending him flying into a bunch of tables scattering the continents every where, his aura protected him but it was a very strong hit, he was already in the red.
And so was Emerald
As Matoro marched over to the Mint haired girl he stomped his foot onto her chest. A coat of ice formed on her body.
The sound of a rib cracking heralds a cry of pain.
Ruby nearly charged out but yang clamped her arm on her wrist, pointing to somewhere else
He bent down. And whispered to her. His voice filled with rage.
As he did team RWBY saw his cloak loosen up just enough to see the object he Jealously guarded.
A mask. Blacker than any Grimm's hide, it had an image carved into it like a man holding his arms out and legs spread, the head on the crown of the mask and the arms acted as eye sockets.
There was something about that mask that unsettled them all…
Like it was…
Looking at them.
When matoro finished speaking to emerald he walked out but not before flash freezing her to the floor. Ensuring the mask was still on his belt he proceeded outside while dropping a large sum of Lien on the table as he left, with Joe hiding behind the counter.
The bar doors closed once again.
But team rwby had left out the opened window in an attempt to follow him
They were about to round a corner when a flash of light appeared.
When they turned all they saw were frozen footprints that suddenly end. But Matoro was gone.
They all turned to each other absolutely baffled at what they saw.
"Did you see that?!" Weiss nearly shrieked
"We all saw it Weiss! And I still don't believe it!" Blake too tried to make sense of what she saw
"No Dust, Not even a flare of his Aura, and he still vanishes with not even a single clue?! Who the hell is this guy?!" Yang finished their thoughts
Ruby stayed silent, all she could think of was the worn out look in those eyes… and the sinister color of the mask on his belt.
If he had a mask the whole time…
Why waste time on a cloak?
