AN: Hello readers and fellow RWBY fans to the second installment of RWBY: A Rising STRM or really more specifically the second trailer. As always Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY that's Rooster Teeth. Now without further ado I introduce you to Azure.

The large grand mansion that rested comfortably in the city of Atlas in the kingdom of Atlas with its bright blue walls fitted in nicely with the greys, blue, whites and blacks of the city.

Behind the large blue blue doors was a large hall that most unlike itself was unusually quiet and empty save for one person. Said person was slowly making his way through the hall going down a large set of stairs.

Slowly making his way down his shadow was cast on the wall by the light that almost lazily shined in through the window he was careful with each step. He gingerly placed his right foot on the next step, and as soon as it was set down he continued his journey starting to go at a faster place taking two steps down at a time "I have got to hurry up before someone walks in." the thought crossed his mind as he neared the bottom of the stairway.

"Six to go, four, two , one and !" He cheered to himself.

As the floor came in contact with his feet he broke into a silent ran almost like he has quickly hopping along the floor. After he crossed the twenty odd feet he placed his right hand on the door handle, slowly putting pressure trying to turn it but he couldn't. "Oh great it's locked and I left the keys upstairs." He brought his hand up to his face effectively smacking himself "ow, idiot.".

Crouching down so he was eye level with the lock he reached into his pocket and removed two thin pieces of metal one was completely flat and wide while the other was thinner and had a small hook on the end. Blinking he shoved the two pieces into the lock and began to try and jam it open but to no avail. He worked diligently on it as he tried to pick the locks, then one of the pieces snapped in two. "Great wow I am such an idiot!" He ripped the broke half out and through the pics behind him over his shoulder. An idea suddenly popped in his head as he reached to a small box on his belt. Opening the casing he pulled out a card well what looked like a simple game card. Grinning he folded the card in half and went to put it into the lock.

"Excuse me sir but I would rather you didn't do that sir that would be a very awkward conversation with the Lady, your mother I would remind you and we wouldn't want that now would we sir?" A voice called out from behind him.

He glanced behind him and looked at the woman who had appeared on the staircase and was slowly walking down said staircase. "Sorry Rachel I just need to get out and didn't want my Mother to find out so I went to leave and it was looked and I do not have my keys so I was going to force my way out." He responded meekly. The woman started to walk closer to him and continued "I understand sir but there really was no need it is not as if you are breaking out of the house you could have unlocked the doors numerous other ways." Thomas's cheeks flushed at that "yes well I supposed I could have done that but it was far less interesting and I clearly was in a hurry to leave so the thought escaped my mind."

The maid smiled lightly at that as she brought her hand up to her face to hid it and Thomas thought she actually looked cute probably would have tried to charm her if she was anyone else. They both looked at the doors when she responded back to him "Yes sir of course you new but I would imagine one to many Rond movies if I hand to guess sir."

"Yes you are most likely right Rachel one to many spy movies." when another female voice could be heard they both turned towards it "Í i'm sorry what are you trying to do Thomas my dear son trying to leave without telling me?" The owner to the voice appeared and Thomas immediately looked at her. She was wearing white blouse with a green scarf and light over jacket as well as a long white skirt adorned with green embroidery "because I know my incredibly special son wouldn't try to sneak away especially when we have high class event to attend." Thomas groaned as he backed toward the door "well you see Mum I wouldn't I just need a stroll in the city before we go and I promise I will be back in time for the ball I promise okay." She kept as straight face as she thought about the request and Thomas silently sent up silent prayers hoping she would say yes.

"Fine yes you can go but I want you back a half an hour before we need to go attended." She said as her demeanor cracked and she smiled but then she got a call on her scroll as the ringtone yelled out. She answered the scroll as she said " Thanks so much mum and don't worry I'll be back latter." Thomas's Mother smiled as she waved him off as he went to open the door.

Thomas quickly went to the door and went to open it but stopped himself and went to the keypad for the lock and typed in the six-digit code 678241. It chimed to indicate that it was unlocked so he reached over and pulled the door handle opening the large double doors and walked out into the street and the early night air.

~~~~~~~~~ Later

Thomas was walking down the side of one of the bustling streets in uptown Atlas. It was very different from what he remembered as a young boy but of course back then it was a lot more prominent in what he is back then than it was nowadays. As he casually walked down the streets he walked by a squad of the new prototype Atlesian Knights that were to hit the rest of the Kingdoms in a few months. These new ones were a lot sleeker than compared to the older Atlesian guards, the new ones had a white and black shell compared to gray they also had a more humanoid look to them the stride seemed a lot more fluid and they could probably be passed off as a human if you threw some skin on them. The squad consisted of five of the mech droids and they all wore the stripes of yellow and blue the tell tale sign of the military police or well the police Thomas supposed. The blank face plates were exactly that as they walked by completely undistracted.

Further along the street a blast of air knocked him off balance and his tall top hat was close to falling from his head. Frantically he pushed it back onto his head and made sure that the tall blue black top hat with a blue ribbon wrapped around the base a pair of cards slipped in between it. "Dust that was close." He muttered to himself as he stopped walking, surveying the surrounding area. He spotted a girl his age at the counter behind a counter at a neapolitan shopp. "Well this should be fun."

As he walked over to the shop he straightened his hat and unbuttoned his vest and walked over to her "Hello I was wondering if I could have a banana,chocolate peanut neapolitan please?" He asked her. She looked surprised as he walked up and asked her for some icecream "um yeah sure you could um how much would you like?" She asked timidly. " He smiled reassuringly " well I'll have however much you would like and for two and yes I'll pay extra plus tip." She blushed at that and tried to convince him other wise " I don't think I can do that-" but Tom interrupted her " yes you can and you will besides is your next break soon?" "Well yes it is but I," Thomas eyed her again and smiled even broader as she continued "oh well okay um two scopes I guess, uh 10 lien please." She moved behind the counter as she scooped the ice cream into two cones. Seconds later she moved from out of the counter and walked up to him, handing his cone to Thomas.

They sat down at one of the small table lining the outside of the shopp. "Yeah this is just my summer job then I'm going to the Academy here in Atlas, I have been training at one of the primary hunter Academies for five years now, how about you?" She said inquisitively. Thomas went to answer but was stopped when they heard a shout from behind them, "Help! Help! He's attacking me!" Thomas turned around and watched as the Atlesian Knights turned around from their patrol route and ran to the call for help. They quickly turned down an alleyway and shouts could be heard as the mechanised police squad grapple with the assailants when a shot rang out before a strangled cry and the Knight's monotone robotic voice " The target has been apprehended the area is secure everyone remain calm and continue your daily activities, thank you." As that was said the group walked out with two of the robots holding a struggling man. As he struggled his hair moved and revealed two short triangular ears that instantly pegged him as a feline Faunhus.

Thomas cringed as the robots carried the faunhus off to the street corner were a patrol car was waiting. Thomas turned back to Jessica and saw the look of shock or was it pity? Thomas couldn't tell but he got his answer when she spoke.

" Oh no, just great" She seemed to be saying more to herself than to Thomas.

Anger became the first feeling in Thomas, "Wow she is just like the rest if them." He thought coldly. "Right well enjoy the ice cream I hope you enjoyed it, maybe I'll see you around some time." At that Thomas turned around and began to walk off back towards home. The girl questioned after him "where are you going we were not done talking right, please come back!" But it wa useless as he was already half way up the street when just about the worst person he could see after what had just occurred. That person was Camden Winchester one of the most despicable people Thomas had meet and that was saying something. Thomas quickly tried to hide his face and walk by him. Camden and the three guards trailing him passed right by and Thomas thought he was in the clear " fhew that was a close one.". As soon as the words escaped his mouth he instantly regretted it as Camden flew around and looked at him so hard he felt like Camden was burning a freezing hole into the back of his head. His annoyingly proper voice grated on Thomas's sensitive ears, " Oh well look at what we have here if it is not our good friend Thomas cottontail, oh wait I am sorry it is Goodwitch right, how could I forget after all her face is everywhere and I doubt it's the only thing." With that Thomas was full of rage and turned around the fury evident in his eyes, "Shut your ignorant mouth right now Winchester or you won't be hiding behind your dogs for much longer!" A wire thin smile appeared on the Winchesters face " But remember what happened last time you said something like that."

Thomas stopped and balled his fists as the memory floated to the front of his mind.

-Flashback-Four years prior a business party in the heart of Atlas.-

Thomas was standing near the punch bowl at the party being very sure to take from the non-alcholic version of the sweet fruit juice. It tasted amazing as he downed another glass of the drink. He was quietly trying to stay away from the bustle of the crowded dance hall. His suit was tight around the neck and shoulders as he constantly brought his hand up to his making sure it was still there on top of head. "Where is Mother she can't have gone far could she?" He wondered quietly as he stood there debating if he should go look for his mother, "she has only been gone for five minutes right, maybe?" With that he went off to try and find his Mother.

As Thomas made his way through the high rollers and associates of the kingdom of Atlas, he began to frantically spot the bright blue of his mother's dress but it was impossible in the mass of people. He was starting to feel very claustrophobic and very anxious. His head snapped around when he thought he heard his mother's voice but the noise of the party and music was giving him a dull headache. He started to walk again when he found his way to a door, it was a plain one just yellow with the Winchester sigil emblazoned on the door like every other door in the mansion Thomas had been stuck in for the past three hours. "Well she could be in there yeah he said to himself?" trying to get some confidence into himself before he stepped up to the handle and twisted it open walking into the room. As he walked in and the door behind him stayed slightly cracked open, the music and conversation was slowly blocked out. He surveyed the room and only saw one person in the room, the boy looked to be about his age, but he was taller than Thomas by a good three or four inches with a head of bright orange/red hair that was slicked back. "Um excuse me but have you seen my mother her name is, ah Donna Goodwitch I'm her son and I can not seem to find her." The other boy seemed to finally notice Thomas and he snickered "what are crying like a baby because you can't find your Mommy how sad."

His voice was filled Thomas's ears and he was confused " Why are you being rude I did not do anything to you I was just asking a question." Thomas told the boy who he could now guess at who he was " He must be the one Daniel Mansner." Daniel's smile grew wider as he paced over to Thomas ignoring his question " Wow you really are getting ready to cry aren't you?" As he got closer Thomas began to quickly move back desperate to put distance between himself and the rapidly approaching boy.

But it was too late as Daniel quickly caught up to him and pressed him against a wall "why are you were that ridiculous top hat, after all you've been wearing it all night. What have you got underneath that thing?" Suddenly time almost seemed to stop as all the sounds around him completely stopped, he looked at Daniel and saw the redhead reach out and grab Thomas's hat.

Thomas freaked out "NO!" He practically shouted as he shoved his hand into Daniel's face pushing the bigger boy back a little bit hitting him in the eye. Daniel cursed, "That HURT you stupid brat." Daniel's face clouded with rage as he reached for Thomas again but suddenly Thomas wasn't there against the wall he was behind Daniel

Daniel turned around confused when he saw Thomas behind him instead of in front of him . Rushing for Thomas again he slammed into the wall dropping almost instantly from the force of slamming his head into the wall. Thomas was over in the corner of the room standing their stark white as he tried to comprehend what just happened, "I can teleport?" he asked himself before the wave of nausea hit him sending him to the ground.

Thomas dropped to his hands and knees, his heart hammering in his chest as his hat fell off his face. That's when he noticed the door to the ball was wide open and in the Door stood a Tennager maybe four years older than Thomas himself and he was obviously brother. He looked between Daniel's limp form and Thomas, " I swear I didn't do anything wrong." Thomas insisted to the older boy. Looking at Daniels one last time he looked up then he gave Thomas scariest smile Thomas had ever seen. " Well, well, well, look at this the Goodwitch welp and how fitting the term to oh how the rumors will spread." It took Thomas a second to realize what this new person was referring to. "Oh no, no why now, why did I let someone see them." Thomas thought franticlly to himself.

-End of Flashback-

Thomas shook his head as he tried to put the unpleasant memory back in the recesses of his mind. Camden seemed to enjoy the discomfort that he brought along to Thomas evident by the grin plastered on his face. " How is the face by the way Thomas does it still hurt after all these years?" He chuckled lightly and continued "maybe everyone should see the cause of it don't you agree?" Thomas ears perked up at that under his hat "Just leave me alone Camden I do not have time for this." and then Camden's three body guards reached out for Thomas but he didn't give tem the chance his semblance activated. He appeared out of their reach as they stared confused at what happened. Thomas pulled a card out from inside his vests pocket, it was a ace of spades but it had a unnatural blue glow, he quickly threw it towards them with a flick of his wrist. As it flew towards the pavement the guards began to do move for him yet again but as soon as they did the card landed on the ground and exploded in a torent of water between them and Thomas turned and ran down the alleyway behind him. "No you idiots get after him now go, go !"

Thomas ran down the alleyway until he was at the back of it" Dust, you idiot you just blocked yourself in." he told himself. He placed his hand on the wall on quickly worked out a quick plan, reaching into his vest again he pulled out five cards, a bright green four of clubs, a red ace of crystals, a blue two of spades, another blue ace of spades amd a white queen of hearts. He had just enough time before the three guards ran into the alley blocking his escape sort of. The bulkiest of them ran at Thomas first. With another flick of his wrist he was quickly stopped in his tracks as bright white and brown stone erupted around the man's feet trapping him to the spot. This brought the other two after him. They ran in one just behind the other making them an easy target, one of the blue cards slammed into the wall a realesed a raging stream of water into the closest man slamming him it to the wall. That made the third one stop and pull a gun on Thomas "Took you long enough." Thomas quickly teleported right next to the man as he fired where Thomas used to be. A punch to the jaw sent the man wind back slamming him into his colleage trapped in stone dispatching them. Through his burn and water Dust cards at the ground a thick steam bellowed up into the air.

He walked out of his way of the steam filled alley way. Camden had rushed to the scene and was desperately trying to make his way through the stream " WHERE ARE YOU, YOU STUPID RABBIT !?" He yelled looking for Thomas desperately. With his Faunhus senses he quickly found himself behind Camden " Well I am right here Camden." He said quietly. He heard the arming of a gun he quickly moved getting out of the steam before three shots rang out. "Oh this is perfect." Thomas thought to himself, throwing his last card into the alley the vortex of wind spiraled up sending the steam away and blasting Camden into the far wall. Running onto the street and looked around until he located the nearest police unit "HELP! HELP! Someone is attacking people in the alley again and he has a gun! Please POLICE help!" The Atlesian Knights immediately looked over to Thomas and rushed over. " How can we be of assistance sir?" the indifferent robotic voice of the robot trying to sound concerned. "Officer someone had a gun a he was shooting it in an alley way back there, I think he was fighting these men." they responded almost immediately " Thank tou for your concern stay back." then over a radio they called in more units to the location. The two that ran over quickly dove into the alley and began to wrestle with Camden his voice heard crying out as he tried to convince the robots he did not do anything.

A minute later as more police units arrived Camden and his men final were brought out the three bodyguards unconscious and Camden cursing left and right at the Knights trying to convince them to let him go, "Get your hands off of me you stupid robots unhand me do you have any idea who I am?!" That's when the reporters got on the scene snapping images of the scene while one walked over with a camera man trying to ask the police what had happened, the human officer did his best to stop the reporters and Camden became very aware of the media suddenly surrounding him. He stopped taking almost immediately, "how does that shut him up and not common sense?" Thomas wondered as he headed home eager to leave the street that's when he realized that the reporters were beginning to turn on him recognizing who he was. " Aw Dust just what I need the media in my face." He quickly turned and quickly teleported as far as he could about forty feet away before he broke into a run.

AN So what do you think of this trailer. As I am finishing this trailer at 1:30 in the morning I really don't think it is two bad. So you can tell his semblance or at least understand the basics of it. Before it is asked yes he is related to Professor Goodwitch at Beacon. So this trailer will be the most dialogue heavy as the other two are practically done or started so this is the last to be conceived. With each trailer I am trying a different way to write each chapter so you can expect a lot more in the fighting scenes for the other two Trailers. Speaking of them they should drop next week during the weekend over here on the East coast. I will see you guys next time so please comment, review and like. I really mean it because it really does help because I get to see what you guys enjoy and want to see so do comment please.
