Rwby: Dark and light
"Purple" Trailer
"Well now, what do we have next? Ah yes, Purple. A royal color… but of course like the theme of this world, not everything is as it seems. Labeled Faunus by society, some hate this person for that reason, others hate this person for another reason. The blood coursing through their body is anything but royal, one might say… third class. Jokes aside, despite being placed at the bottom of chain from birth, the child is definitely special. I should know, I explained it when I placed the child on that doorstep all those years ago… what am I talking about? I'm sure you'll figure it out…"
-1st P.O.V- -Mura sa-ki's P.O.V-
You know not many people would appreciate a wonderful day like this, maybe it's because today's a pretty big day for me. I mean you know the story goes, girl likes guy, and guy is to shy to express his feelings for you because… reasons. I've known this guy for years and it never dawned on me that 'Hey maybe I really like spending every second of the day with this guy…' Now he isn't exactly what you'd expect to be an ideal boyfriend, for one he's younger than me. Now that seems so weird; he's only 2 years younger than me, now it shouldn't sound weird in practice, until you realize that a 17 year old dating a 15 year old does sound weird in an average conversation. Before any of you go off on me for getting down with a minor, blah, and blah. Listen for one I'm only 17 and here on Patch I'm still a minor too. Next I would not do anything to hurt the kid, ever… I care about this kid too much, Its just, when I'm not with the kid I don't feel... whole. I'll wait for him to reach the proper age before we do anything... intimate.
I walked down the street on a beautiful Saturday, I was heading towards the Academy of Signal to visit said boy. I only live a few miles away and I enjoyed the walk, it gives me time to think. Honestly I was kind of giddy, my friend is kind of… dense. I mean its not exactly his fault, he has to deal with a lot of crap from people. He had to pretty much claw his way up the chain at Signal; as a result he's probably one of the strongest people there. But what he makes up for in academics and physical capabilities, he lacks in just general social activity. To give you an example; he was able to gain control of his aura a whole YEAR before anyone in his grade, however in contrast… I'm literally his only friend. The only interaction with other people he really has is sparring matches, and those only end one of two ways. He has only lost a fight to one person. (Who wasn't a teacher.)
In fact, I was the only student to ever beat the kid. Granted he and I have been training together for years. He was definitely different; he was the only person in Signal without a weapon. While everyone else was building his or her very own masterpiece, he was doing push ups and sit ups. This certainly paid off because, he discovered his semblance before a lot of people. As far as I've seen, he can concentrate his energy into a ball and fire it, resulting in an explosion or piercing.
Believe it or not, this caused him to become a target for bullying rather than being more popular. Any bullies then met the receiving end of an energy ball.
It didn't take me long to reach the Academy training yard, there I found him training just as hard as he does on any weekday. Needless to say I wasn't very happy, if he keeps pushing himself like this I'll be a friend to a puddle of goo. I walked up and leaned on a pillar nearby and watched the young future hunter train his ass off. His black messy hair danced as he moved, his tail swayed with his movements. Sweat was flung off his muscles as he struck a test dummy, causing the dummy to shatter and fly across the yard. He flipped backwards and delivered a diagonal axe kick to two other test dummies, completely splitting them from the shoulder to the pelvis. He landed on his feet just in time to strike the severed top half into the wall behind them. I then watched him charge a yellow energy ball in his right hand, in one fluid motion he spun and threw the energy ball, as it collided with the dummy and exploded. Now the only dummy left was incinerated, he stood straight up, looking real proud in his purple Martial arts uniform with the symbol of a Grimm roaring with two claw marks in an X pattern on top of it.
"You know their just going to make you clean that up, right?" I said as he walked over to a pile of unused dummies that were soon to suffer the same fate.
"M-Mura? Hey, how long have you been standing there?" He stammers, with a small blush on his pink cheeks. Needless to say I squealed a little on the inside…
"Oh, just long enough to see you become the enemy of mannequins everywhere." I said chuckling.
"Yeah," he chuckled "they don't like me at clothing stores." He joked, scratching the back of his head.
"Man, to be training on a Saturday, you really want to accelerate another grade that badly?" I asked.
"Well I really want to graduate and go to beacon with you." He said bashfully.
"You can't stand the Idea of being partnered with someone other than me, can you?" I replied.
"Well, I'm not exactly fond of other people that much, so it would make sense I'd get paired with the person I'm most efficient with." He said as I walked up to him, he was 5 feet tall and I only towered over him by eight inches.
"I guess that makes sense… but I still don't know why your training on such a special day." I said stroking my purple hair.
"Special day? What's so special about Saturday?" He asked. To say that I face-palmed would be an understatement.
Now, he is an orphan, so it would make sense that he wouldn't know that today is his birthday. However when he was left at the orphanage where my mom worked, his basket that he was left in had two cards with messages in it. One of the messages told us: his name, his current age, and THE DAY HE WAS BORN. That was the card we gave him when I met him, I have yet to find the right time to give him the second one, but the point is, HE SHOULD KNOW HIS OWN BIRTHDAY!
"Today, my young friend; is your BIRTHDAY! Congrats, you're 15 years old!" I exclaimed.
"Really? Huh, cool…" He said thoughtfully.
"That's it, just… cool?" I asked.
"Well yeah, I don't really see what the big deal is?" He replied.
"You idiot, we gotta do something special for your birthday, like go out some time." I said, ending it with a small smile.
"Ok. Go where?" he replied.
"Man, you're dense, No I want you to go on a date with me." I said bluntly.
"W-Wha'… I-I mean… Why? I mean why with someone as young as me?" He stammers, when he's around me, he's like the most innocent kid in the world.
"Listen dude, most guys my age are douches who don't understand the meaning of 'no'. Plus I have the best chemistry with you, so it makes sense." I reassured him.
"T-Thanks…" He said, slightly embarrassed.
"So how about it, you want to have dinner with me?" I asked confidently.
"Sure, where are we going too eat?" He asked.
"You can come over to my apartment. I stocked up on enough food, so hopefully you'll get full for once." I replied.
"Ok. Wait, hey, I get full… sometimes!" He said defensively.
"Oh bullcrap. I've seen you walk through the hallways clutching your stomach. Your semblance might be cool but you still need like a trillion more calories than me, so being the great host that I am, I'm going to give you a feast." I said happily. I may have seemed confident on the outside, but inside I'm terrified because, despite knowing the kid for years, he can get hard to read sometimes.
"Ok… Do I need to dress up for this?" He asked.
"No, you don't have to… I'm going to wear something normal." I replied.
"Great! I'm gonna go get ready!" He said excitedly, before running off down the street.
I chuckled to myself as he forgot about the smoldering dummy he had to clean up. I left the training area and turned down the path to my own home. I wonder when I started liking him? About a month ago we had the bright Idea of raiding a White Fang recruitment rally, seeing as we were strong enough to hold our own against teachers (Whom are Hunters/Huntresses) we thought we could hold our own against White Fang grunts. For the most part we were right, turns out I am a fairly good speaker, because I was able to change the minds of those who wanted to join. On top of that, the grunts were not that strong, even with dust rounds in their guns they weren't that threatening. However their was this one guy, he had a huge freaking chainsaw weapon. My aura wasn't strong enough to combat the weapon, but my little friend was able to hold him off for a little bit. Unfortunately we weren't unable to catch him, but we escaped with our lives. I saw the fight between my friend and the chainsaw guy, while my buddy wasn't stronger than me; he definitely had more determination than me. He would take that chainsaw to the face and returned an explosive energy ball to his chest. I was terrified I was going to lose my best friend, but luckily he pulled through for me, it was there I discovered I couldn't live without my tailed friend.
It was only a few hours after I got home I heard the doorbell ring. I opened the door to find my little buddy; he wasn't dressed up in like a suit or anything but he was dressed up compared to what he normally wears, he looked spiffy. He had a black training shirt on, that was tucked into his normal dark purple martial arts pants tied with a black belt made out of the same material. I chuckled to myself as I saw his hair was kind of damp, it looked like he tried to comb it, but his hair is like the most unruly substance on the planet, I know, I've tried to tame it. But his hair really brought out his beautiful brown eyes.
"Well don't you look nice," I said with a sly smile.
"Yeah… I took a shower." He replied with a goofy smile.
"Good, you want to come in and eat?" I asked.
"Yes, please." He replied.
We sat down and started eating; I knew he was trying really hard not to just hit full throttle and chow down. We talked about some random things for a while: Movies, Books, school, and the exams. But next comes the presents, I had two things to give him, and not like a new scroll or training weights. Instead both of these are rather personal items, tailored to him of course.
"So I got you some presents," I said
"Really! Like what?" He interjected excitedly, as he finished eating.
I reached into my backpack that was placed to my right, and picked up two pieces of paper.
"So do you remember, back when you were younger, my mom gave you a paper with your birthday and stuff on it from your parents?" I asked with a sigh.
"Sure," He replied.
"Well there was a second note, one describing something special about you." I said handing him the old piece of paper.
He opened the paper and his facial expression changed from curiosity to a blank expression as he read the beginning of the note. I can't read his face at all.
"Can you read out loud?" I asked.
"Sure." He replied.
"Dear people, who find this child. In my previous note I explained the Child's age, birthdate, name and other personal information he should know when he reaches the age of ten. In this note I have placed a warning; the boy I have placed in your care is very special. This boy may have trouble controlling his emotions, as he gets older. Intense amounts of anger, sadness or grief will increase his physical capabilities as well as become uncontrollable. His semblance is something incredibly destructive, so hopefully he doesn't see you as an enemy to be targeted by this form. The boy also requires a lot of food; he considerably more calories more than any Faunus or Human on the planet. Next, I cannot stress this enough, do NOT under any circumstances allow him to look up at a Full moon. If you do this, none of you will survive. Do not give this note to him until you believe he is ready. To the boy himself, listen to me, you may not know me and I hope you never have to, but you are not alone. You are a very special boy, but you are not the only one of your kind, there is one more boy out there just as special as you. If you can find him and train to be the best you can be, the both of you could be the most powerful people on the planet. –From your former guardian." He spoke in a monotonous voice, ending it with a sigh.
"Not the only one of my kind? What does that mean, of course I'm not the only one of my kind, I'm Faunus. What does it mean by not looking up at the Full Moon, its not going to kill me is it? Ugh." He continued
"Well I hope you're not too mad at me, I felt it was about time for you to know." I said nervously.
"No I'm not mad, I never knew my 'Guardian' so I couldn't really care less. My problem is finding a place to keep it so the other kids at the orphanage doesn't steal it." He said.
"Well that is something I want to talk about." I said trying to cheer him up.
"What do you mean?" He replied, as I handed him another piece of folded paper.
"Well you have been living at the orphanage for about 15 years now, and since my mom started working in the hospital I don't really have a reason to go there other than you… and I know you don't really like the human kids over there so…" I said.
"Wait you want me to live with you?" he replied
"Of course, we're together now, so it makes sense. And before you say 'Isn't this a little fast?', we've been friends for most of our lives, we might as well already be married." I said, semi joking at the end.
"Ok, I'm fast but not that fast, calm down. But sure I'd love to come live with you, that would make me very happy." He said, slowly getting happier and happier.
I got up and kneeled next to him, I embraced him as hard as I could. "Thank you so much." I said. The rest of the night was nothing but happy days and nights, no innuendo intended.
-One-month later-
It has been a while since my friend came to live with me, and while we never did anything inappropriate we did however do romantic things. My mom's former room was turned into an office, and I didn't want to make him sleep on the couch forever so… he slept next to me. And both of us were pretty embarrassed when we saw each other in our underwear, but we got used to it. In the news of how our school life is going, My buddy aced the exams and is now in the same grade as me, and also is up for being valedictorian already.
At the moment we were having breakfast before going to school in a couple hours.
"Good morning Hun." I said, kissing his cheek.
"Morning." He said, his cheeks turning red.
"So anything special planned for today?" I asked.
"Well I talked to Marcus the other day, and he said there's another White Fang Recruitment Rally down on fifth and congress." He replied pulling his black martial arts boots on.
"Really? Wait you don't like Marcus, why did you go ask him by yourself?" I asked.
"You're right I don't like Marcus, and he doesn't like me, he's vulgar and rude to you and I don't like it. But we need to work together to help people, so we try to be professional." He said, a little bit of venom entering his voice.
The thing about my little boyfriend is this, when he's around me he's the sweetest thing on the planet. But when he's forced to talk to people he doesn't like, he becomes very dark and volatile, he and Marcus have gotten into plenty of fistfights, all of which my boyfriend won but I had to stop them.
"Oh he's just a jokester, he acts all confident and vulgar to make up for his insecurities. Don't worry about it." I replied.
"Ok…" He sighed.
"Now what time should we go to the rally?" I asked.
"We can go raid the place at about nine." He said with a challenging smile.
"Calm down, you animal… No pun or offense intended." I said, realizing what I said the minute I said it.
"None taken. I don't know what it is, just the idea of being able to fight that Chainsaw guy again just makes my blood boil." He said putting on his backpack.
"You might be addicted to fighting people." I joked.
"Maybe." He replied.
We finished breakfast and started our way to school, as we were walking some people from the other Academy 'Receiver' started yelling obscenities at my young boyfriend. Its kind of easy to forget some people don't like Faunuses, which enrages me to no end, and I'm human.
"HOW ABOUT YOU SAY IT TO MY FACE! YOU WORTHLESS WASTE OF SPACE!" My boyfriend yelled as he charged up an energy ball in his left hand.
"Calm down Kiddo, they aren't worth your time to kill." I said grabbing his wrist, as the bullies ran away.
"I wasn't going to kill them." He said with an annoyed expression on his face.
After we reached school, the whole day went absolutely as normal. We got back home, finished our homework and prepared to raid a White Fang Rally, just a normal Thursday for us. We put on black cloak hoodies and Grimm masks, seeing as
I'm not Faunus its kind of hard to hide myself.
We reached the Warehouse in the dead of night, just as it was starting. Thanks to our disguises they let us right in, the chainsaw guy wasn't there much to my boyfriend's dismay. But there was this guy with a drill sword thing, so he should provide a challenge.
"Welcome ladies and gentlemen, today is a special day. You see all around the island of Patch our other rallies have consistently thwarted by two vigilantes, however we prepared this time." The man with the drill sword started to say.
"Great I think this an ambush." My boyfriend whispered.
"We had a double agent feed the wrong information to their informant, and told them to come here tonight to try to stop us again. Let us welcome our special guests… THE VIGILANTES!" The Man said as the every cloaked grunt in the room removed their cloaks and pulled out their weapons. Ranging from swords and axes, to guns and rocket launchers.
"Great I guess it is an Ambush." I said removing my cloak and mask; I reached over my shoulder and pulled out my sword. It was a black 5-foot blade with white stripe like tendrils swirling up the sword. In the mean time my boy friend jumped, removed his cloak and mask, while landing on the stage in front of the White Fang Sargent.
The Sargent burst forward and struck my boyfriend with a spinning drill blade, which he blocked with one hand and fired an energy ball into the Soldiers face. I ran forward and started to take down one grunt at a time very quickly. It only took a few minutes for 20 of them to back me into a corner. Now I need to activate my semblance. My hair changed from dark brown to dark purple and my eyes changed from hazel to neon orange. What is my semblance you ask, well in a way its like X-ray vision. However I can't just see bones, if I focus on a layer of a persons body I can see that system of organs. For example can switch from, bones, to blood veins, to muscles, to cardiovascular system, etc. It also allows my brain to process images faster than a normal person. This allows me to find a structural weakness in a person's body; I'm a master of anatomy so I could take down a number of people before they knew what hit them. It took me the same amount of time for me to get cornered to take down the first ten grunts in front of me.
I had a second's breather, I watched as my boy friend was fighting the Sargent and a few grunts at the same time. He was also a master of pressure point combat, so he was doing major damage to all of them, or at least the hit he could get off. The Sargent was keeping him at bay with that weird drill weapon; I heard a large bang and turned to my right and managed to dodge a large fire dust shot from what looked like an RPG weapon. I dashed forward just in time to see the large woman wielding the weapon turn it into a battering ram. She hit me just as I jumped and attempted to land a hit over the head, the hit resulted in a dust shot being fired into my stomach, sending me into the opposite wall. And man did it hurt!
I could barely stand back up, the woman fired another shot, and at this point I was to weaken to move. Luckily an energy ball collided with it and pushed into the far wall to my right. I turned to find my boyfriend firing another energy ball at three grunts rushing me; killing all three of them. He rushed forward and stood in front of me as grunts and the Sargent surround us.
"End of the line kids!" The woman with the launcher said as she charged up another, stronger, dust shot.
I stood next to my boyfriend with my sword at the ready, gaining my second wind. He charged two yellow energy balls in both of his hands; we looked at each other before yelling, "JUST TRY US!"
He fired both energy balls at the Sargent and the Launcher woman; the resulting explosion knocked out a few grunts around them, but only knocked them over a few feet. We both rushed forward. We stood back to back and destroyed any grunt that came our way. What I failed to notice was, my boyfriend was grabbed while trying to protect me and was thrown out side the circle of grunts. What came next was one of the most painful experiences of my life; the launcher woman planted a massive fire dust shot into my spine and fired it. I landed a few feet way from my boyfriend. His aura was gone but he stood back up just as angry as before, just another special thing about him, he is the only person I know who can survive and fight with out his aura, and it only makes him stronger. He turned to see my broken but still conscious body, he ran over to me in tears.
"God, Mura! We need to get out of here!" He screamed, as the grunts and the Sargent started laughing.
"I don't think I'm making it kiddo. I can't move and my aura is at a sliver." I said couching up blood.
"NO! I refuse! I can't let you die! What happened to being partners at beacon! I- I CAN"T LIVE WITH OUT YOU MURA!" He screamed.
"I can't live with out you either, but you need to get out of here, and show the world how amazing you are. If I die take my death and use it as fuel to become exactly as the note said, become the strongest in the world." I said reaching up and touching his cheek.
"No… I can't let you die! I- I love you Mura! Don't die please!" He cried. Out of the time we've been dating that was the first time one of us said 'I love you' I don't know why but I was starting to wish I said it more.
"I love you too Krist… Kri… Kr… K…" I tried to say as I kept coughing up blood, and tears streamed down both our faces.
"No… Mura…" He whispered through tears, and a guttural growl.
I watched as his hair stood up and inverted forward with spiky bangs fall in front of his face, his hair glowed a bright white along side his tail. His eyes lost all color at first, and then obsidian pupils replaced his normal eyes. His teeth got sharper and he ripped off his already torn GI, showing of his bloody muscles. He reached down and picked up my sword, it started to change too. It grew bigger, it's length increased by a couple of feet and its width went from a broad 3 inches to 6, the handle also got bigger to compensate.
I was barely able to lift my head up to see, he stood up and threw the giant sword over his shoulder. I couldn't see his face any more but I imagine it to be very angry. The best way I can describe the way he looked is, he looked like a humanoid Grimm, except the colors seemed inverted.
He dashed forward at a speed I was barely able to register and cleaved right through the woman with the battering ram cannon. He let out deafening roar that would scare Grimm. He then swung his sword to the right and cut through two other people, the Sargent attempted a stab with his weapon but was met with a hand piercing his gut.
"W-What 'cough' are you?" The Sargent choked out.
"I … am … the … light. I stamp out darkness… I … am your death!" He growled just before he pulled out the poor man's guts and tossed him away like trash, blood splattered on his face, he wiped it off with his hand and then licked it off of his hand.
It took him only a few seconds to slaughter every White Fang soul in the whole warehouse. After a loud Grimm-like Roar, my sword turned back to normal, as did his body. He seemed to came back to his senses and rushed back over to me…
"Mura, I don't know what happened but I'm going to get you out of here." He said trying to pick me up.
"Listen…" I coughed violently "I love you" I coughed again "so much." I managed to choke out.
My ears began to ring as he was yelling something. My eyes became blurry. Blood in my lungs, at least the last thing I see is my beloved…
-1st P.O.V Switch- -"?" 1st P.O.V-
-One-month later-
One of the hardest things I had to do was tell her mom about her death. I had to find a good enough lie to tell her and the police, after that I chose to just shut off. I kept training; for what I couldn't tell; vengeance, retribution, or because I don't any thing else. Sleep became nothing, I had nice dreams snuggled next to Mura, but not even nightmares would greet me at night.
I'd walk aimlessly to school, the bullies would try to aggravate me, and I'd either ignored them or knocked them out with one punch. I talked to no one, not even teachers, unless they spoke to me first. Today was the day I was graduating a valedictorian, a week away from going to Beacon and becoming a hunter for both Mura and I.
I adopted her sword as my own and begun to train with it. Now I was not only one of the best martial artist in the school (Aside from some blonde girl I never met.) I was on my way to becoming a master swordsman as well. I don't know what happened before she died, all I remember was blacking out and waking up with all of the White Fang soldier's dead and Mura dying in my arms. Her mom and I were the only ones at her funeral, she barely had any friends other than me, but none of them stayed at the service.
I stood on the balcony of our apartment, staring out at stars. I ended up combining her symbol with my own, in side the mouth of a roaring Grimm was a sword, and behind the Grimm was the broken moon with one of her lilac eyes on one side and a neon orange eye on the other side. It's a complicated design, I know, but it stood for everything I am. The spirit of Mura, her purple color, and the monstrous anger I was slated to have from birth.
I walked back inside and opened the drawer to my nightstand. In a small blue pouch was one of the most precious possessions Mura ever gave me. An orange sphere with 2 dark blue stars in the middle; I picked it up and held it in my hand. I pressed my lips to it as a tear slipped out of my eye, I then said out loud, like a prayer…
"I swear to you Mura, the whole world will know my name…"
HA, HA Cliffhanger! Sorta… Anyway guys that's the 2nd trailer and man was it a challenge, I had to rewrite the whole thing because I wasn't getting anywhere. Now the next two trailers I have to combine, mostly because I want to get the story a move on, and you know… other stuff. But the next one might be shorter you never know. And Finally I have been the AlphaJman and/or Jacob Ethan Barnett, and I'll see you guys in the next one, don't forget to review and SEE YAH!
