The screen booted up some sort of media player. It showed a lone knight running down a white beach with a man narrating.

"We see the struggles of others unfold around us, as the fight for the things important to them" as the man neared the water a massive hydra was reviled.

"Oh the story has monsters and heros!" Said Ruby enthusiastically.

"You really like fairy tales don't you?" Said Blake

"Yeah Yang would alway read me one at bedtime."

The scene changed a abandoned castle orange runes covered the floor and a sword set in a fire. In the background a man walked away.

"There's a man who fights on behalf of his broken homeland."

"Well that's encouraging." Sarcastically stated Weiss.

"Give it a chance. I'm sure there be something involving a corrupt business." Said Blake.

"OOOH! BURN!" Chorused the two sisters.

Yet another man in blue and silver armor stood on the edge of a dark cliff overlooking a nameless abyss."Another who fights to prevent his kingdom from being broken."

This time it was of a man with an almost comically oversized hat in brown robes. He clutched a staff as he road an elevator upward through a massive library. "One man believes in research for the sake of knowledge."

The group unknowingly looked at Blake

The scene changed to a dark dungeon. Mounds of books covered the far wall, and skeletons hung in chains from the ceiling.

"And maybe this knowledge will give you the power to fix your mistake."

"What could he have done?" Asked Ruby.

"Necromancy?" Supplied Weiss.

Now a man in a heavy red cloak overlooked a doomed city, its inhabitants all but waterlogged corpses in the fading moonlight.

"With this power you may have to do terrible things to many to save the lives of many more."

"That's kinda dark." Said Weiss

Blake said. "It probably was intended to be."

"True"

A woman in white robes of a priestess stood an a ruined church.

"How can the gods be so cruel? To stand idly by, while the powerless have everything taken from them."

Well that kinda got to the girls. While none of them were particularly religious they did kinda wonder why Monty let things happen the way they did. Surely he could have made the Grimm into something beneficial, or made the Fanus would be able to live equally?

A man in golden armor, shaped as if he was being hugged from the rear, with a strange sickle sword stood in a corner.

"Perhaps if you give them something, they will give you something in return?"

Now deep in a cave strange spiderwebs filled the walls while a beast slowly climbed into frame, it's yellow teeth practically glowed against its red skin.

"Surely there is a reward for faithfully serving the gods of this land."

"I don't think you would what a reward from gods like that." Said Ruby.

"Normally I'd argue differently but in this case I will agree." Agreed Weiss

The next image was of a man in heavy stone plate with a huge curved club slung over his shoulder. He stood alone in a darkened pit.

"Or maybe you'll be cast aside, to fade from memory."

A man stood on the ramparts. He wore simple armor with a white tunic over it. He was staring at the sun, high above.

"A fool who dared to believe in something greater"

Now a man in armor of a knight kneeled before a hole in a roof

"Without ever knowing that your final acts could change fate."

"That's kinda deep." Said Yang

"Church?" Asked Ruby.

"Hun"

"Non canon Reference and 4th degree warp fuckery. Just ignore it." Said Blake

The screen faded to black. And reemerged with a low red flame arcing through the background feeble husks crawled around in the dark.

"Man is born from the dark, a soul that is kindled, flickers, dwindles, and dies in the shadows of his gods."

"Well that's a interesting view." Said Blake. She hadn't expected something this dark, but this story was not going anywhere pleasant.

A man fought against a strange creature. It was as if someone had cut the head and leg from the thing. In one and it held a massive bidet. It grabbed the man in between the bidet's prongs, and slammed him repeatedly into the ground but he got up."The human form is fragile and death comes quickly, but the spirit is strong and clings to life like only a mortal can."

"Damn right we cling to life. Just try and get one of us to die without a fight." Said Yang.

"Yep the Grimm will never wipe us out." Backed Ruby

A woman kneeled over a grave in the fading light of dusk. She looked over the fresh corpse of a man in armor.

"So in a way man was not designed to become undead. Fear of death is what let's us live. Take that away and humanity becomes harder to hold onto."

The woman reached out to touch his face but it suddenly rotted, as if he had willed decomposition back for months before giving up

"Without humanity you could become more hollow then man. Yet an undead who would die for something has nothing to fear."

"Undead? That's not good. But he makes a good point on dieing for something." Said Ruby. The girls were somewhat surprised at Ruby's statement. She was right, when you are willing to die for your cause your will to complete it simply grows. For those who can not die, it simply is a inconvenience. Probably a painful one but still.

Weiss stated "That's a bit cryptic. It makes sense but is leaving something important out."

A knight charged several misshapen beasts and monsters. Just as he would attack it would switch to a new one.

"For death simply becomes a stepping stone to his goal."

The knight now stood in front of a opening doorway that blazed with light.

"Now that is a very interesting philosophy." Said Blake.

"Philaspony?" Asked Ruby

Blake explained for the younger girl. "Fill-las-o-p. It means your thought process."

The knight now lay in an abyss of pure darkness he slowly pushed himself off the ground.

"If you fall down seven times, stand up eight. That's the cry of the undead. It's not a matter of life or death."

The knight now charged down a narrow bridge. A massive red dragon lay in his path ready to spit fire.

"Its about what breaks first- your will or the barriers in your way."

"Yea! Uplifting motivation!" Shouted Ruby.

"Monty! Keep it down you dolt. The entire dorm will hear you." Said Weiss.

The lone knight walked down a narrow rampart. Bodies littered the stone. A hesitant woman asked. " H-have you seen my father? You wouldn't miss him a suit of armor just like mine."

This time the knight was joined by a companion. This other man wore a suit of bulbous armor his helmet shaped like a massive onion. He hefted a massive sword in one hand. They were overlooking a pit that had these strange beasts inside. They looked like jagged funnels of teeth.

"Friend I have an idea, a good one really. I will rush those dire fiends and you can slip away in the confusion!"

"Is that her father? It definitely is a distinctive set of armor." Said Weiss.

Yang said. "I kinda just know he is. I wonder if he'll escape too. He's probably pretty strong if he can lift a sword like that one handed."

This time the knight was joined by a new companion. He more a bucket helm with a feather stuck in it. His tunic had a sun displayed proudly. The two sat at a bonfire. "Why…? Why…?" The Knight's companion stood alone now staring into the sun.

"After all this searching I still can not find it."

Now he walked through some deserted cave. Magma filled the floor far below. Doubt now filled the man's voice.

"Was it all a lie? Have I done this all for nothing?"

"Don't lose hope bucket man! You find your…. Thing!" Said Ruby.

"Thing? Really." Said Weiss.

Ruby simply shrugged.

Now a lone knight leaned his sword on his shoulder. His armor and talbrade in tatters darkness circled around him as if it wanted to attack. The knight's voice was haunting and full of regret. "All of you… Forgive me for I have availed you nothing."

"He's definitely screwed." Said Yang.

Our original Knight walked out of a tower onto a far too high and narrow bridge. Inside you could barely see another clad in thick armor.

"I'm Finished… We're both on the brink you see. End of story. You bloody fool."

The knight from the roof now lay in a scattered pile of stone. Water flowed freely in the narrow tunnel. Our knight stood over him as if he was his killer.

"Regrettably, I have failed in my mission. But perhaps you can keep the torch lit."

Our knight began to walk out of the dungeon. He moved from the dungeon to the ramparts. Then he walked up the cliff below.

"There's an old saying in my family."continued the broken knight. "Thou who art undead art chosen. In thine exodus from the Undead Asylum maketh pilgrimage to the land of ancient lords. When thou ringeth the Bell of Awakening, the fate of the undead thou shalt know."

"That sounds a bit weird. It must be really old." Said Yang.

"Or it could be recent and just artificially aged through that pronunciation." Noted Blake.

The view returned to dungeon and the broken knight.

"Well now you know, and I can die with hope in my heart."

"What? Don't die sir knight someone can save you!" Said Ruby.

"Sis it's a story." Said Yang.

Our knight walked away from the bonfire. The original narrator now returned.

"So do we fight for one man who fell?"

A new man covered in robes of golden thread walked towards the camera.

"No. We do it for the many who fell before us,"

A man in bright gold and white armor of a priest walked up a cliff side. A massive mace rested on his shoulder.

"For the souls of nameless Soldiers Warriors and heroes."

Our knight stood beneath a massive bell as it rang. The view slowly zoomed out to reveal the top of the tower the bell resided in. An old man said.

"Did you ring the second bell? That is incredible, I must say."

The knight now stood in a infested pit. Spiderwebs the covered everything. Another bell slowly rung. A woman said

"I can not do it myself for I lack the strength, and the bravery but you…"

Our knight lay curled in the Corner of his cell as a young woman said.

"Finally the curse of the undead will be lifted, and I can die human. Please, save us all. Please…"

"Well I'm not sure what to think about that." Said Yang. "I have a feeling that whatever it was a trailer for will depressing as hell."

Blake said. "It you're probably right about that Yang"

"Gah the next one is starting!" said Ruby.
