"Shit."
An SK-BIO Type A (behemoth) has been located around the Emerald Forest. Exact location currently unknown. Subdue, but, if possible, do not kill. A containment team has been notified, and is en route. Attempt to limit casualties. Contact [XXXX-XXXX] upon contact with the specimen.
I put my scroll back in my pocket, and I looked up, noticing a familiar white-haired girl walk towards me.
"Hey."
To which she non-verbally replied by walking away. I sighed and closed my eyes. Well wasn't she quite rude?
From below me, I heard a familiar voice, "Jaune?"
I opened my eyes and looked down, my blue eyes meeting Pyrrha's green.
I smiled, "Hey."
Pyrrha and I stood outside a cave, inspecting the drawings on it. I asked, "Think this is it?"
"Hmm. I'm not so sure."
All of a sudden, we could hear a loud guttural roar coming from some point in the forest. Seemingly in response to the roar, we could hear hissing come from deep within the cave, and the sounds of something scuttling closer... 'Damn, the behemoth might be closer than I thought...'
"Hey, Pyrrha?"
"Yes, Jaune?"
"We should probably get moving." Just as I said that, a large Deathstalker burst through the cave entrance, hissing as soon as it caught sight of us.
"Yes, that would probably be a good idea!"
The two of us bolted in the opposite direction where I was mostly sure the relics were. Unfortunately, however, I... tripped.
"Oof!"
"Jaune!"
Quickly getting up, I tried to dispel her worries, "Don't worry I'll be-"
SLAM! "yeet!"
I was prevented from finishing what I meant to say, however, as the Deathstalker hit me with its claw, and I was sent hurling through the forest.
'Can I please stop getting interrupted!?'
"-uuuuup!"
THUD! "Oof!"
I was still hurling through the air due to the Deathstalker when, all of a sudden, I came into contact with something-
THUD!
Of course, I was once again interrupted - at least it was just my train of thought and not while speaking this time - when I, along with the thing I bumped into midair, ungracefully landed on the side of a tree.
I groggily opened my eyes, my vision still rather blurry... and why was everything upside down? I looked down to find myself hanging from a branch.
Ah.
"What was that?" Getting my bearings, I looked to the direction of the sound to see Ruby, head swaying and eyes swirling.
I coughed to get her attention. "Hey, Ruby."
CRASH!
Turning towards the source of the noise, an Ursa could be seen moving into the clearing, frantically swiping as if it was distressed. Soon enough, we saw the reason for it acting like so when it went limp and fell to the forest floor.
"Yee-haw!"
An orange-haired girl rolled off of the Ursa's back, got up and groaned. "Aww... It's broken." Jumping onto the Ursa, she inspected its dead body.
"Nora!" A black-haired guy with what looked to be a streak of magenta hair on his left side entered the clearing, looking down and catching his breath, "Please, don't ever do that again."
He looked up towards the Ursa's body, only to find his partner, or at least I'm pretty sure Nora was his partner, missing. He looked around frantically before looking towards the ruins, spotting her inspecting one of the golden relics, all of which looked to be... chess pieces? She picked up the piece, and began dancing singing to herself, "I'm queen of the castle, I'm queen of the castle!"
"Nora!"
She stopped and gave a salute before skipping off, "Coming, Ren!"
Once again, the sound of trees falling over could be heard, allowing with some hissing and clicking. Looking towards the direction of the fallen trees, I could see Pyrrha running into the clearing, a large Deathstalker, the one which had flung me across the forest, hot on her trail.
"Jaune!"
"Pyrrha!"
Standing up, Ruby looked towards the large scorpion Grimm, "Whoa!" Running, she jumped off the branch and rolled, landing right next to Yang.
Yang looked towards her sister, "Ruby?"
"Yang!"
Nora popped up between the two, "Nora!"
Click Click Click!
I put my attention on the Deathstalker once more, still chasing Pyrrha as she made her way towards us. I sighed, I guess I should get myself down.
As I got myself off of the branch, I heard Blake speak, "Did she just run all the way here with a Death Stalker on her tail?"
Yang growled, a little bit of fire erupting from her, "I can't take it anymore! Can everyone just chill out for two seconds before something crazy happens again?"
Ruby lightly slapped her sister on her sleeve and pointed upwards, "Um... Yang?"
"How could you leave me!?" Looking up, I saw Weiss barely hanging on to a Nevermore's talons.
Ruby responded, "I said 'jump!'"
Blake, looking up and crossing her arms, said, "She's gonna fall."
"She'll be fine..."
Ren said, "She's falling."
Nobody moved. I sighed, guess I'll have to catch her.
Moving towards where I believed Weiss would land, I put my arms out, "I got y-"
THUD! "Oof!"
'Interrupted again!'
I, unfortunately, missed my mark and instead of landing in my arms, she landed on top of me. "Ugh... Just dropping in?"
Weiss responded, her voice dripping with sarcasm, "My hero."
Weiss and I made our way to the group, as we got closer I could see a red blur zoom past before landing with a thud in front of Ruby - it was Pyrrha.
"Great! The gang's all here! Now we can die together!" Yang remarked.
In response, Ruby said, "Not if I can help it!"
Worried, Yang yelled towards her sister, "Ruby, wait!"
Ruby rushed towards the Deathstalker, pulling out her scythe - I believe she called it Crescent Rose -, using the recoil from her shots to boost her towards the scorpion Grimm. In response to her sudden attack, the Deathstalker pushed her back wish a fast swipe of its claw.
"D-d-don't worry! Totally fine!" Turning around, she came face-to-face with the large scorpion. Shooting a sniper round into its face, Ruby turned around and ran away, sheathing her scythe - or turning it into its compact form, rather.
Yang ran forward to attempt to help her sister, "Ruby!"
High above, the Nevermore gave a loud caw as it flapped its wings, unleashing a torrent of black, razor sharp feathers towards Ruby and Yang.
Unfortunately for Ruby, one of the feathers managed to snag her cloak, keeping her in place. 'Damn over-the-top inconvenient hunter outfits...' Unfortunately for Yang as well, a few feathers had struck around and straight ahead of her, cutting her off from reaching her sister.
Yang yelled, "Ruby, get out of there!"
Ruby struggled to set her cloak free, "I'm trying!"
GROOOOOOOOOOOAR!
The Deathstalker stopped in its tracks, turning towards the source of the sound. Several loud and heavy footsteps could be heard. The source of the sound emerged into the clearing.
The behemoth. It stopped for a moment, and turned towards the Deathstalker.
GROOOOOOOOOOOAR!
The behemoth lived up to its name. It was as tall as the Deathstalker was long - not including the tail and the stinger. Its skin was pale and flabby, its muscles bulging and swole. Its face was devoid of a few sensory organs, visibly missing eyes, ears and a nose, all that was there was a large mouth filled to the brim with an assortment of teeth. It stood on two feet, its arms at the side, ready to strike at a moments notice. How it sensed its surroundings, no one knew.
Not even the Foundation. Or at least, not yet.
Turning its attention away from Ruby, the Deathstalker skittered towards the large monster, seemingly accepting its challenge.
"Ruby!"
"Yang!" Captializing on the distraction, Yang ran towards her sister, helping her get free of the feather's hold.
"What..." Weiss began, "what is that thing? I-I've never heard of a Grimm like that before..." She looked fearfully at the behemoth.
"That," I pointed towards the pale, towering monstrosity, "is a behemoth. As to why you've never even heard of a Grimm like that before..."
"That's because it isn't."
Sorry for the kinda short chapter! I originally was going to make the second part into once piece, put I decided to split the second part into two parts. Expect the third and final part to this coming up in a few days (I hope.)
First and foremost, addressing the reviews:
Artjom435: So is jaunes Sword a scp?
Nope. I haven't any ideas or plans on making it into one, and the Foundation probably wouldn't have him wielding it were it one in the first place. It's just stronger than your average sword. A little special, but not too special.
X3runner: Cool concept hope this develops and we delv into SOC's like SCP-035 and the plage Doctor.
Thanks! I haven't really thought of doing any chapters on those two at the moment, sorry. Maybe if I get an idea, though.
Guest: Interesting idea. I would love to see how it will develop. Curious as to how you will write the keter class scp.
Thank you! I have a few ideas for some Keter SCPs. One of which being a really, really stupid idea which is pretty much nearly 0% serious.
Guest: Hmmmm most, interesting, I like it!
Thanks!
Qwertynus: Can we get some Lob Corp elements too? Like, fancy, cool, terrifying ECHO armors and weapons or something?
Thanks for clarifying what you meant in the PM! I still need to learn a bit more about that, but I don't really plan into bringing any other fictional universes into this crossover just yet. Maybe in the future, but for now I plan to just stick with RWBY and the SCP Mythos.
For those wondering, the behemoth is an organism created by Sarkist cults. SK-BIO Type A is it's "actual" name or designation, I think, but it's often referred to as "behemoths" by Foundation personnel. Taken straight from the Sarkicism Hub page on the SCP Wiki:
SK-BIO Type A
Colloquially referred to as "behemoths" by personnel. These entities are commonly over 4 meters tall, weighing approximately 7,000 kg, with pale, flabby skin. Lacking visible eyes, ears, and noses - their faces dominated by a large toothy mouth. The first recorded instance of an SK-BIO Type A was SCP-2480-2. They appear to be of limited intelligence.
I didn't really know what to put as a number, so please excuse my use of X's.
Sorry for any OOC, and please tell me if you believe a character should have acted in a different manner. Except for Jaune. He's still clumsy, he did trip while trying to run from a Deathstalker, but he's more competent. Not with the Sword and Shield though, so he still needs training. He knows how to fight. Just not with a sword and shield.
As to Jaune's semblance... all I can say at the moment is that it will be different that the semblance he has in the series.
Currently, this has mostly just been the events that have occured in the main-series, changed only ever-so-slightly. Now with the appearance of the behemoth, however, some questions are going to pop up. Will they be answered? Maybe. Will this story be badly written? Most definitely.
On a random note, I wrote this chapter and the other one while listening to the OST of Violet Evergarden.
It's really good.
Anyway, please leave any suggestions or ideas you may have, and please point on any mistakes you see in this chapter.
