Thank you to Agent Numbuh 227, IChangedMyNane990, Guest 1, Guest 2, SkylanderZilla, and OceanBlueSeaEyes for the reviews!
…
Agent Numbuh 227: Thanks! I wanted to try my hand at writing one. This will be updated frequently, I will try and have most of the volumes already written, so if I take a hiatus then that's why, I want to write the full volumes and then post so that way I don't have to rush. Also about the Beowolves, sorry if that confused you. I forgot that the Grimm don't bleed, they disintegrate. Sorry for the confusion.
IChangedMyNane990: I'm glad you're interested!
Guest 1: The Grimm don't bleed. I forgot about that. Sorry for the confusion.
Guest 2: This will be updated frequently so you will have a lot to look forward to.
SkylanderZilla: Thank you! I will continue.
OceanBlueSeaEyes: I will continue. I don't know how far I will take this, but for now I plan on going until the current volume, so at this moment, Volume 6, as that just ended a month ago.
"What's next?" Taiyang asked.
"The White Trailer." Summer said.
"The White Trailer, wonder who that will be about?" Qrow asked.
"You'll find out literally in a few seconds, Qrow." Tai said. Qrow grinned.
She clicked on it and words appeared on the TV screen.
White Trailer
"Everyone is entitled to their own sorrow, for the heart has no metrics or forms of measure. And all of it... irreplaceable."
"Well… that's doesn't sound good." Summer said, still thinking back about the red-cloaked girl with silver eyes who resembled her so much. That's her daughter; her daughter will grow up to be a Huntress. Just like her and her team.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome... Weiss Schnee." An announcer says.
"Schnee?! Your daughter is going to be on a team with a damn Schnee? What the hell is this?!" Qrow yelled. Tai and Summer cringed at his loud voice.
Raven shook her head in frustration. "Qrow, shut up. I don't think that Summer's daughter will have any choice on who her partner is. Drop it, will you."
"Drop it? Hell no, Rae! There is no way I will let Sum's daughter be on a team with a fucking Schnee, I'd rather chew my own arm off." Qrow told his sister.
"I think Summer has that choice, Qrow. You aren't the father of that child. Or at least we don't know who the father is yet. So ultimately the decision is Summer's." Tai told the Branwen male.
"Also if you would have paid attention the announcer said 'Weiss Schnee,' it appears that the young Schnee girl that we heard about has a younger sister in the future. The girl we know is Winter Schnee." Raven told her brother.
"Whatever. A Schnee is still a Schnee." Qrow grumbled.
A young girl in white with a barely visible scar over her left eye walks out on stage into the spotlight as a piano plays the opening of "Mirror Mirror" before a crowd of people, occasionally taking pictures from their stands around the white castle they appear to be in. She closes her eyes and begins to sing.
"How'd she get that scar?" Tai muttered.
"Might find out if we keep watching." Raven said in a slightly in an annoyed tone, wanting to watch the trailer without anymore unnecessary interruptions.
"Mirror, tell me something. Tell me who's the loneliest of all..." Weiss started to sing.
"She has a really nice voice. Maybe she's not so bad." Summer said to the black haired Huntsman-in-training.
"Fat chance. I bet she's just like her stuck up, bratty sister." Qrow said.
"Okay! Enough! Let's continue shall we?" Tai wanted to finish the three trailers they still had to watch.
While she sings, the view sinks down into her scar-free reflection on the stage, the world tilting until she opens her eyes and finds herself in another place, the light and shadows shifting until a warrior in giant armor with an equally massive broadsword appears before her. She backflips just as the Giant Armor brings its blade down on where she was, and the song continues as her flashback takes over.
"Whoa! Is that a flashback? We might actually get to see how the Schnee girl got her scar." Tai said, leaning in to watch the fight that would take place.
"What type of Grimm is that?" Raven asked. She has never seen an Armored Grimm before.
"It's a Geist Grimm. It can possess that Giant Armor. It's called an Arma Gigas." Summer informs her team.
"How do you know that?" Qrow asked.
"I read a book about the different types of things a Geist Grimm could possess. A suit of armor isn't that far-fetched." Summer shrugged.
Weiss sang again, this time off-screen. "Mirror, tell me something. Tell me who's the loneliest of all?"
"What do you think the lyrics of the song are referring to?" Summer asked the rest of her team.
"The girl is alone. She has no one and her songs are the one outlet she has to express herself and try and get some attention." Taiyang explained.
His teammates looked at him like he had grown a second head. "And how would you know that, Mr. Philosophical?" Qrow asked.
"I… The lyrics clearly say that she is lonely, it wasn't that hard to figure out, Qrow." Tai told them.
Weiss unsheathes her own rapier, Myrtenaster, and darts forward, getting a hit on her enemy before twirling into a landing. The Giant Armor swings again, but she dashes away and lands several spinning slashes on the creature. It retaliates when she uppercuts into the air, arcing its sword around and hitting Weiss' rapier, which she brings up just in time to merely knock her back. When she slows down, Weiss looks up to see the Giant Armor leaping into the air and hurling the sword down on her, then swinging it back up in an effort to get its fast-moving target. It finally hits her blade again, and she is knocked away until she rolls back on her feet.
"She's good. Probably had private tutors and trainers to get her to that level." Raven said. Her team couldn't refute her, she was right after all.
"Fear of, what's inside of me. Tell me can a heart be turned to stone?"
"More lyrics, now referring to herself and her self-esteem. Maybe?" Summer said, she glanced at the blond young man next to her but he shrugged, not fully knowing what the lyrics could be a reference to?
With white energy now gathered on her fingertips, Weiss motions to the ground beneath her, and a snowflake symbol appears that propels her forward at extreme speeds. Despite the Giant Armor's attempts to slash at her, Weiss disappears and reappears all around it, leaping through the air using her glyphs and landing a blow with each pass.
"That's definitely a Semblance. But wait; is there such a thing as hereditary Semblances?" Raven asked, looking to her team leader.
"Hereditary Semblances are extremely rare, but they can and do happen. If it's a strong Semblance then yes, it could become hereditary." Summer told the other dark haired female.
After a slash to the face, the Giant Armor aims at Weiss' feet, who leaps over it and gets an undefended fist to her head. Weiss is launched yet again, but this time, her attempt to get back up is weak and unsure. A worried Weiss closes her eyes, and in the real world, the spotlight suddenly cuts out.
"Ouch. So now we know how she got that scar." Tai said.
"That's gotta hurt." Qrow said with a small smile on his face. He didn't like the Schnee family, which was obvious.
Summer slapped him on his shoulder. "Stop it, that girl is not at fault for what her father has done, or will do in the future. Remember that, Qrow. This is all in our future." Summer scolded the younger Branwen.
The moon makes itself known when the clouds in front of it pass, showering Weiss in its light as she sings, eyes still closed. In her mind, she stands back up, eyeing the Giant Armor with blood trailing down the left side of her face, and holds out her sword, spinning the revolver in the hilt until a red energy appears over the blade. The Giant Armor runs up and drops its sword on her, but it meets her rapier and is deflected off.
"How was she not crushed under the weight of the sword?" Taiyang asked.
"She had Fire Dust coating her rapier blade." Raven said in a monotone voice.
"Right…" Tai said, chuckling awkwardly. "Sorry."
"Mirror, mirror, what's behind you? Save me from the things I see! I can keep it from the world. Why won't you let me hide from me?" Weiss sang.
"I get the feeling that the girl is going to have a major turning point, and soon." Raven said.
"She's still going to be a bitch." Qrow muttered. Raven glared at her younger twin brother and he shut up. Qrow knew when to shut up when Raven was angry, and he really didn't want to be on the receiving end of one of her beatings. Those hurt and they could last for weeks.
Weiss switches it up and spins, a cyan light now creating a wave of ice when she strikes it into the ground that freezes the Giant Armor in place. It swings again, but Weiss runs ahead and jumps on the sword. Myrtenaster is now glowing yellow, and she rolls on the broadsword and slashes at her foe, destroying the ice crystals in shards of purple but impaling its weapon into the ground. She rotates the hilt again and a snowflake circle spins under her when the Giant Armor tries to hammer its fist down on her, but she rolls out of the way and activates the glyph, launching the warrior up into the air and becoming trapped by Weiss' beams of blue energy.
"That Semblance is both extremely powerful and versatile. That could be useful to exploit for your daughter, Summer." Raven told her team leader.
"My daughter is not going to exploit that girl's Semblance just because it's powerful, Raven!" Summer exclaimed to her female teammate.
"That's what I would do." Raven said.
"That's because you will use whatever you want and can to win and be the strongest." Qrow deadpanned.
"Well it worked, right? We are the strongest team of Beacon Academy." Raven boasted.
"Mirror, mirror, tell me something. Who's the loneliest of all?"
With one final leap into the air and her real self singing the last lines of her song, Myrtenaster glows with the white markings on its blade and Weiss descends onto the Giant Armor. When her attack is done and she lands in a crouch, the black hollows of the enemy light up and crash to the ground in a shower of ice and snow behind her.
"Impressive final move." Raven said, hand on her chin, analyzing the style of fighting.
"Who are you and what have you done with my sister?" Qrow asked in a stunned voice.
"Oh shut up! I can complement people. Even if she's a Schnee I have to give credit where it's due." Raven said.
"You never complement people, you use insults veiled as complements." Qrow pointed out. Raven growled and put her hand on the hilt of her sword.
"Okay! Don't kill me, I was joking!" Raven glared at him and huffed. "Kinda joking." He finished. Raven punched him and unsheathed her sword halfway.
"I'm the loneliest of all." She finished the song.
Weiss gets up and closes her eyes, finishing "Mirror Mirror" to a gentle shower of snowflakes and a roar of applause from her audience. She opens her eyes and looks around as if in a daze, then peers up at the slightly-scattered moon above.
"It was a nice song." Summer said.
"It was nice, but really sad." Tai said, glancing at the siblings. "You two good, or should we stop for now?" He asked.
"We can continue." Raven said, sheathing her sword fully.
She dips her head and bows to the crowd as the curtains close around her. The screen fades to black.
"Do you think we could listen to the full song? I want to figure out her motives from her song. And your daughter, Sum." Tai said to his teammates.
"Maybe, let me check the Volume 1 menu." Summer said, as she went back to the menu and scrolled through the episodes that they still needed to watch. The last episode listed was called 'Volume 1 Soundtrack.' It's the last thing listed, we can go and listen to the soundtrack after the volume ends." Summer answers her light haired teammate.
"Cool, I want to figure out the motives of the girls." Tai said.
