Chapter 2
Hello everyone, and welcome to another chapter of For the Future. Wow, you guys really like this huh? I'm actually proud that this got so many follows and favourites so quickly, thank you. As for the Death Battle reactions, I may do that during volume breaks or something. But for now, this is my priority. Remember to Favourite the story, Follow the story and as usual, Review. Now, shall we get to the White Trailer?
As usual, I do not own RWBY. That privilege belongs to Roosterteeth and Monty Oum (R.I.P)
Willow Schnee did not plan for this to happen. She had planned to go about her meetings, observe the reports of the quarry, tutor Winter and make sure Weiss was behaving (that girl is a hyper child, but she will learn to be a proper Schnee) and after that, have a little... 'relaxing' time with her husband Walter. She blushed at the idea but managed to hide it. Instead, she was now stuck in this place with these crazy people and being forced to play through this childish prank.
'Visions of the future my ass. Oops. Sorry, Grandmother.' Willow thought, remembering her grandmother teaching her to never swear.
But at least she found some people who are competent, like Summer Rose. She is actually a very nice woman once you get to know her. Athena Nikos is also a very respectable woman. Her very aura seems to radiate power and confidence, it's obvious she and her husband were a perfect match. Willow can only imagine how powerful their daughter Pyrrha would be in the future.
Then there was Rachel Arc. She shuddered and clutched her womb again. Seriously, Willow had nothing but respect for that woman. 'I was in so much pain after I had Winter and Weiss but to have EIGHT?! I'm amazed she is still walking.'
She then looked over at the guys who were conversing with each other and smiled at her husband. He was a good man. Out of the two of them, Walter had the more stable head and was the more sociable one. 'I couldn't have picked a better man to lead the Schnee Dust Company with.'
Willow was soon snapped out of her thoughts when Summer called them over, saying the next vision was coming. She sighed and decided to play along with this person and watch these things. You may have guessed already, that Willow doesn't believe in these kinds of things. Like visions and other beings, but if it gets them out of here, she will humour this SkyNinja.
She took a seat next to Walter and sighed. "Let's get this over with."
With that, the screen started again as she nibbled on a chip, it starting to display text. A quote of some sort.
"Everyone is entitled to their own sorrow, for the heart has no metrics or form of measure. And all of it... irreplaceable."
Taiyang frowned at the text. "That's quite a deep quote. Wonder who wrote it."
"It's definitely not a quote I'm familiar with, that's for sure." Alexandros replied popping a piece of popcorn into his mouth.
The text was now fading, replacing it with the same introduction they saw in the last trailer:
ROOSTERTEETH PRESENTS
A man's voice was now heard as the scene changed to what seemed like a stage. His voice sounded like it was coming through a microphone.
"Ladies and Gentlemen. Please welcome. Weiss Schnee." The announcer said, there being a round of applause as they welcomed this girl.
She looked seventeen years old at least. With piercing blue eyes and very light blue hair. She looked beautiful, and had the grace of royalty. She wore a light blue top as well as a jacket with the same colour, with the interior being red. Her skirt and boots shared the same light blue colour with the inside of the boots sporting the same red colour as her jacket. This was Weiss Schnee.
Walter gasped and Willow covered her mouth in shock. This was Weiss? No, there was no way that was her, their daughter was only four years old, and this woman was at least thirteen years older than the child. Willow narrowed her eyes and observed this woman.
'Well, she has my daughters looks. As well as the fact this may be what she looks like in the future. Also, she is bearing the Schnee logo on her jacket. And nobody is allowed to do that unless they are in the immediate family.'
Summer smiled when she heard the name. "You have a beautiful daughter you two."
"Indeed, she also seems to hold a sense of royalty." Ozpin replied.
Willow blushed at the compliments, but also saw Ozpin was right. She smiled as she realised Weiss must have outgrown her childish nature and become a proper lady.
A piano started playing as the crowd had become silent waiting in anticipation. Weiss closed her eyes counting the beats in her head, before starting her number.
"Mirror, tell me something. Tell me who's the lonliest, of all?"
Summer smiled as she listened to Weiss' singing. "She has a beautiful voice."
Walter closed his eyes, listening to the singing of his daughter. She always wanted to be a singer, it seems like she got her wish.
Sudddnly, the scenery changed. It seemed to be in a stadium of sorts. A training area perhaps. Weiss opened her eyes and what appeared from the shadows was a giant knight. It must have been four times her side, and wielded a giant sword.
Willows voice got caught in her throat. Her baby was going to fight THAT? No! Unacceptable! She refuses to let this happen, but the more she looked on, the more she was starting to realise that maybe these were in fact visions. But until then, she grasped her husbands hand tightly and waited to see what would happen.
The knight stood up as the two stared each other down. Weiss' eyes sharpened as the creature prepared to swing, but she managed to flip out of the way in time as it's sword smashed into the ground. She then drew out her own weapon.
Rachel frowned as she observed it. She may not be a huntress but she did learn about weapons a lot since she would always fix her husbands ones whenever they got damaged. "It's quite an elegant weapon. A rapier which is used for quick strikes, meaning she would prefer to take her opponent down as soon as possible. And it seems the rapier has dust canisters too."
She then felt all eyes on her and turned to see everyone staring at her in shock and surprise. "What? Who do you think fixes John's weapons?"
As Weiss got in her stance, her singing continued in the background as she charged.
"Mirror. Tell me something. Tell me who's the loneliest of all?"
Weiss zipped towards the knight and landed a hit before doing flipping over it and landing, taking advantage of her speed and agility. However, the giant creature tried the same tactic again, but Weiss used her speed to dodge and unleashed a series of quick strikes to damage it's armour. This time, the knight actually struck it's target, which was blocked by Weiss' weapon. The force of the blow however, knocked her back, and as she recovered, the knight tried finishing her off by jumping and slamming it's weapon into her. Luckily, Weiss found an escape by dodging to the right, and flipping backwards to avoid another swing.
"Fear of, what's inside me; tell me can a heart be turned to stone?"
However, like last time the knight managed to land another hit, sending her flying but thankfully, she blocked the brunt of the force. Recovering, she took some dust out her pouch which helped activate her semblance.
"Glyphs?" Glynda muttered, surprised. "Impressive, quite a unique semblance."
"Indeed. Perhaps we may have another future huntress." Ozpin agreed, observing her fighting style.
"BAH! YOU CAN DO NO DAMAGE WITH A TOOTHPICK LIKE THAT!" Odin roared. "She needs a hammer! That's how you win your battles!"
Willow growled slightly as she rubbed her forehead. "Quiet, you oaf. My daughter is in the fight of her life here!"
"Dear?" Walter grunted. "I know you are nervous, but could you please let go of my hand? You are killing it."
She frowned and didn't realise she was nervous until she saw her husbands hand. He was right, she was squeezing it too tightly. Summer and Rachel walked over and gently lead her over to the spot they were sitting in. "Please relax Willow. I'm sure she will be fine."
Qrow nodded. "Indeed. She is a very talented fighter, the giant hasn't even landed a hit that she hasn't blocked."
Athena, however was unsure about something. "Hey guys? The song she is singing sounds sad. Do you think she is speaking her thoughts? "
"WHAT?! PREPOSTEROUS!" Willow yelled standing up. There was no way. Her daughter has got all the luxuries in the world, the best tutors and love. How could she be sad?
Using her semblance quickly turned the fight in Weiss' favour again as the beast just couldn't keep up with her as she kept on using them to land small quick strikes to weaken it again. Meanwhile, in the background the pianist who was helping Weiss with her song was doing it's little solo as she kept on landing hit after hit, then she used a glyph to suspend herself in the air.
Alexandros clicked his tongue in disapproval. "She is starting to get cocky. That is the worst thing you can do on the battlefield. Can start to cloud your mind."
And he was right, when the knight swung again she jumped over it which provided the opening the creature wanted as it delivered a solid hit to her face, sending her crashing back into the ground
Willow gasped in horror and covered her mouth while the two woman on either side of her squeezed her shoulders in response to keep her calm. "It's okay, it's likely her aura absorbed the blow. She should be okay."
She nodded, but that didn't fill her with hope.
Weiss grunted in pain a little, as she stood up and looked down. It cut to a shot of the moon as she sung to a crescendo, which sent shivers down everyones spines. It cut to her face back at the stage before going back to the battle as she got up back up and opened her eyes, revealing blood running down her left eye.
"You just had to jinx it." Taiyang said earning a glare from his friend.
"Shut it Xiao Long."
Willow and Walter were grown beyond worried as she was now shaking. She was hurt! Her precious babys perfect face was tainted! But she relaxed a little seeing her daughter have a determined face as she was going to finish it off.
Deciding to fight seriously now, she readied her weapon and activated one of the dust chambers as the blade gained a red aura, the knight charged at her one more time and did a vertical slice to end it but she was ready and her blade met the creatures sword, the dust effect knocking it back.
"Mirror, Mirror. What's behind you? Save me from the things I see."
Weiss then did a spin before stabbing the ground as a path of ice formed through the knight rendering it unable to move. As a desperate attempt, it swung it's sword at her but she jumped on it, her blade now yellow as she did a strike which disarmed the knight, as it looked around in confusion.
"Now this is what I'm talking about!" Odin bellowed and laughed. "Turn that hunk of junk into scrap metal little girl!"
Willow smiled in relief as she was fighting seriously now, but Athena made her realise that the song lyrics did indeed seem sad. But that wasn't right. Weiss was happy... wasn't she?
"I can keep it from the world, why won't you let me hide from me?"
As the knight was confused, a large glyph formed around Weiss as she held her weapon, the barrel shifting to a chamber which held white dust.
"Mirror, Mirror. Tell me something. Who's the loneliest of all?"
For one last effort, the creature charged at her and tried to punch, only for her to dodge and now that he was in the right place, she activated the glyph which launched it up into the air, as she summoned six mini glyphs to attatch to its limbs and head, keeping it in place. Now that it was in one place, she jumped up into the air preparing her final attack.
"I'm the loneliest of. All."
Her blade was now glowing with white markings as she charged, stabbing the creature through the chest and landing in a pose as it evaporated away as it fell. As she stood up, Weiss was back at the concert, now finished her song. Hearing the sound of applause and cheering, she looked around and looked up at the moon to see pieces of it were gone. She then smiled slightly and did a curtsy. The curtains drew and it was replaced with the same picture of the four shadows.
They all knew Ruby was the first one, and now they saw Weiss was the next.
"Two down. Two to go." Taiyang muttered. They all nodded in agreement as Walter stood up. "Willow, I think it is safe to say this is no prank."
"You're right." Willow replied as she opened her eyes. "Which is why we are going to stop this from happening. I just don't understand why she chose to be a fighter."
"I'm sure we will be able to find our answers soon enough. But for now, we need to stay strong and hope for the best." Rachel said.
Everyone sighed and collected their thoughts. The future seemed crazy, and it seemed there were more Grimm based on Rubys vision. And Summer was dead, so that didn't fill Taiyang with confidence.
'Seriously, what is wrong with me and women?!' He screamed in his head. 'Both are from my team, so I should know them well enough and trust them. And yet, my first wife left me for god knows what reason and now Summer is going to die. Am I just doomed to be a single father?'
He was interrupted from his thoughts when he heard a grunt of pain as someone landed in front of him.
Everyone looked over at the newcomer, who seemed to be a child. Twelve years old maybe. He had red hair and wore a black jacket with some sort of symbol on it. But what worried Walter was the clear features on his head which made him a faunus. He growled and clutched at his wife protectively. The boy then looked around and just muttered.
"Well, fuck."
And that's a wrap. And yes, Adam has joined! The reason I chose him is because nobody else has been close to Blake back then aside from Adam, and I didn't want to make parents. Well, if you guys have any words to share please review and next time we will be going through the black trailer and seeing the Bellabooty! Oh wait, that's not right...
Also, did you guys catch Yang vs Tifa in Death Battle? Sadly, it was spoiled for me by someone on this site but a cool fight nontheless.
Anyway, Favourite, Follow, Review.
Safety and Peace, and I will see you guys in the next one.
