RWBY: White Trailer

Don't have much to say, just that I'll do my best to roll these out quickly. This one should be the easiest, for obvious reasons.

Once again, note that I'm not affiliated in any way with Monty Oum, or Roosterteeth, I simply think that both they and this show is absolutely amazing, and if you've never heard of it, then go and give the trailers a look!

Mirror, Mirror

Everyone is entitled to their own sorrow, for the heart has no metric or form of measure. And all of it…irreplaceable.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Please welcome, Weiss Schnee," the announcer said.

Clad in all elegant white, with her long white ponytail hanging to her right, Weiss walked forward onto the stage as cheers echoed around her.

The organ began to play, and the spotlights focused on her, blotting out the crowd.

Weiss waited for the right note, bowed her head, closed her eyes, and began to sing.

"Mirror…tell me something…tell me who's the loneliest…of all…"

She felt as if she were falling through the floor, standing in another place.

She stood in a darkened chapel, the only sources of illumination the high windows.

Something stirred in the shadows before her, and then the light fell upon it. A giant knight clad in polished steel armour knelt before her, and rose to its feet, clutching a powerful sword three times as tall as Weiss herself, and as tall as the Knight.

Weiss started in surprise, and then the Knight brought its sword across with both hands and sank it into the floor where she had been standing.

Despite her heeled boots, Weiss backflipped away with ease, dodging the strike and drawing Myrtenaster – a thick rapier with an elegant hilt incorporating a six-chambered mechanism – then sliding forwards towards the Knight, the blade pointed straight at it, held with her arm close to her body.

"Mirror, tell me something…tell me who's the loneliest of all?" she sang.

The Knight blocked the strike, flinging Weiss high into the air. Her skirt flared out as she landed behind the Knight, and it turned and swung one-handed. She slid away from the strike, ending up straight behind the Knight, and struck several times with Myrtenaster. Unaffected by the strikes, the Knight swung its sword in a large arc, and Weiss ducked behind her blade as the blow threw her across the room.

The Knight pressed the attack, leaping high into the air and bringing its massive sword down. Weiss dodged the attack, leaping to the right, backflipped away from an uppercut, and blocked another swing of the blade, throwing her across the room again.

"Fear of…what's inside me…tell me can a heart be turned…to stone?"

This time, Weiss used the momentum to throw herself back to her feet, and she drew patterns in the air with her fingers, causing a glyph to appear beneath her feet. A screeching sound rang out as she ran forward at a blinding speed, slashing and dodging as she threw herself around the Knight, conjuring a glyph perpendicular to the ground and leaping from it, taking advantage of her lower position to land a score of hits on the Knight.

Weiss conjured a glyph on the ground and used it to propel herself into the air, scoring an uppercut on the Knight, conjured another glyph perpendicular in midair and dived forwards, landing two quick hits as she flew past the Knight, and landed on a midair glyph – then leapt off it to dodge a sword swing.

And into the path of a massive punch the Knight had thrown with its free arm.

Weiss was thrown across the chapel, landing hard. She gasped in pain as she tried to stand up.

On the stage, Weiss sang wordlessly, warbling a sound that was both heavy and beautiful.

In the chapel she rose up, blood leaking from a cut across her eye. Weiss pointed Myrtenaster at the Knight, and then she drew it back, activating the revolving mechanism and switching to the red canister. Red light shrouded Myrtenaster's blade.

The Knight ran forwards towards Weiss, leaping and bringing down its sword.

Weiss raised Myrtenaster in response, and when the blades met the Knight was knocked backwards and off balance, while Myrtenaster hadn't budged as it gave off a red pulse of energy.

Weiss took advantage of the distraction to change settings again as she spun around and drove the blade into the ground, causing ice to erupt from the point of the blade and surge towards the Knight, trapping its feet.

"Mirror, mirror, what's behind you? Save me from the things I see."

Even trapped, the Knight was still able to swing its blade, but once again, Weiss dodged with ease, landing on the blade in a crouch, Myrtenaster glowing with a yellow light.

"I can keep it from the world; why won't you let me hide from me?"

She rolled forwards and slashed at the Knight's wrist, shattering the ice that had trapped it and landing in a crouch in front of him, facing him. Its sword embedded itself in the ground behind her, and the Knight looked at its hands in confusion, and then at Weiss.

A blue glyph shone beneath Weiss's feet as the Knight's sword fell to the ground, and as Myrtenaster switched to a purple canister. The Knight started forwards towards Weiss, taking long strides.

"Mirror, mirror, tell me something."

It raised its large fist and brought it down, though to no avail as Weiss had dodged again, raising her right hand and conjuring a smaller version of the blue glyph.

The Knight looked down as the glyph flashed beneath it, throwing it into the air.

Weiss swung her blade in a pattern, conjuring circular glyphs that flew towards the Knight and bound its limbs, and she conjured another beneath her, leaping into the air.

"Who's the loneliest of all?" she sang, raising her arms.

Weiss drew her arm back, and triggered the mechanism, silhouetted against the cracking moon.

Myrtenaster returned to the white setting, and white runes lit up along the blade.

"I'm the loneliest of…"

Weiss conjured one last glyph and propelled herself forwards with a determined expression, striking the Knight with a powerful blow that shattered its bonds.

White fire leaked from the joints in the Knight's empty armour and it disintegrated as soon as it hit the floor behind Weiss, who had landed on one knee, Myrtenaster extended behind her.

"all…" she sang as she rose to her feet.

Feeling the scar over her left eyelid as she opened her eyes, Weiss looked up at the broken moon above. She didn't celebrate, didn't react, just closed her eyes, bowed her head, and then looked straight at the cheering crowd, and took a step to the side, curtseying.

That was much easier, although I'm still not entirely sure just what the announcer said at the beginning.

Unfortunately, Black will probably take a while to script, given the complexity. With this one, it wasn't so bad given that there's only the sluggish Knight versus Weiss.
