A.N: Hello over again reader who aactually read towards the fourth chapter! You made it all this way handling my horrible stroy writing! If you stick all the way through to the end than I thank you! Also the Special Chapters charecters is not the lead roll. The leading Roll will be Ryce and we will be focusing on his point of view unless I decide to change perspective. So Special Chapters are just Chapters introducing "YOUR" O.C to my story so you can tell who they are when I introduce them in the main story line. Oh! also concerning the name of Draxi, it's actually Draxi but I was up at 1:00 in the morning making it so my bad! Anyway, if you have any questions, comments, or a O.C that you want to submit just P.M me or leave it in the review. I always welcome any new readers to my gosh awful story. And now onto the our lead Charecter Ryce!
Chapter 3: Doing the Deeds
Ryce Savel P.O.V 3rd Person
( 2 Years Before the events of RWBY Volume 1)
Ryce had been woken in many ways before. To his dog jumping on his bed or to his sister punching his arm he didn't expect to be woken up the way he was today. While Ryce was sleeping he heard a loud "BOOM". This caused him to tumble off his bed and land on the wooden floors. Ryce growled and stood up before exiting his bedroom, which he really didn't want to do, and got himself ready in his bathroom. Ryce than opened the door to see Roman yelling at some of the White Fang members who appeared to drop a case full of dust and caused the giant explosion.
"You insuperable idiots!" Roman yelled out tapping his cane of the ground. "Are you trying to get us all killed here?!" Ryce could easily tell the Roman was not happy about this. This scene reminded Ryce on the part where Ruby accidently caused a giant explosion on canpus, due to Weisses waving around a Dust bottle around her face. "Ha, Crater Face." Ryce mumbled before approaching Roma.
"I could see that your day is off to a great start." Ryce teased Roman. Sadly for Ryce he didn't exactly knew what time it was at all, due to his cell phone, which he now has to call his scroll, is set to Los Angeles in the U.S. Roman gave a small grunt before responding. " No wonder why us humans hate them, there morons." Ryce had nothing to say back about it since he didn't want to argue about racism to Adam, the only person that could kill him right now.
"But anyway." Roman said rubbing his temple a little trying to calm himself down. "Your going to be coming with me on a job of mines in a few minutes so get yourself ready." Roman than shooed Ryce away much to Ryces dissapointment. Ryce knew that Romans "Jobs" is not going to be a friendly helping or construction. It would be robbing, maybe in mugging someone. Something that Ryce doesn't want tot do. Ryce sighed before heading to his room again and sat on his coutch thinking what he can do. Ryce knew that he could barely fight good, he doesn't have any skills as a criminal, and doesn't even have the proper weapons to fight off anybody with a weapon themselves. Ryces thought was soon interrupted by a knock on his door.
"Come in." Ryce called out. The door open to reveal Cinder standing at the entrance. Ryce immediately scrambled up to his feet and gave a slight bow. "Cinder, what brings you to my living quarter?" Ryce took a glance up to see Cinder give a small smile. Ryce gave a small "gulp" and hoped for the best.
"Don't worry Ryce, I'm here to give you something." Cinder said and with a wave of her hand a White Fang Grunt carried in a box and placed it on the floor near Ryce. "Go ahead, open it." Ryce than kneeled down and open the box to reveal a set of clothing and what appears to be a one handed sword in a sheath.
"What's this for?" I asked Cinder. She gave a smile of amusement before waving towards the Grunt dismissing him from the room. The clothes you see in there are special, they are align with an elemental dust that I quite favor." She than further her point by raising her hand and lighting it onfire. "I'm guessing it's fire?" Ryce said. "Yes, I'm quite fond of it." Ryce go tout the clothes and placed them oh his couch before grabbing the sword that was also in the box.
"And what about this?" Ryce asked as he unsheathed the blade. It had a dark tinted single edge blade with small stripes of red on the hilt. "That is your new weapon." Ryce looked at the weapon he had with a mix expression of amazement, because the blade was finely crafted, sadness, because he would have to use the sword, and confusion since he didn't expect to get a weapon at all. "This blade can easily trunk into a handgun as well. She demonstrated this by grabbing the sword from Ryces hand and showing him a small button. "This button as you can guess makes this blade into its firearm form.
She pressed the button and it transformed into a handgun in a blink of an eye. "That's amazing." Was the only thing Ryce could say at his new weapon. "I'm glad you like it, the blade names is also Darer so take care of it." Cinder than turned the gun back into its blade form and gave it back to Ryce which he proceeded to put it back in its sheath. "So how about the clothing, I know that you align them with Fire dust but what will the effect of it be?" Ryce said while examining the clothing. It was a simple dark black shirt, with dark jeans, and a Red and Blake Grimm mask.
"They help you defensively since they could can absorb damage from the enemy like Aura, it also has offensive ways to attack by throwing my fire balls around." Ryce was understood this but was still confused on one thing. "How about the Grim mask?" He asked picking up the Mask. "It's for secrecy, after all we don't want the council to know about you." Cinder gave a small smile at the end of this sentence which worried Ryce.
"Thanks Cinder." Cinder gave another small smile before walking out and closing the door behind her. Ryce sighed and decided to put the clothes on. He looked down at his old clothing that he was still wearing, which was a simple blue shirt, blue jeans, and his sneakers. After removing his old clothes putting them in his clothing drawer and putting on his new darker clothes he walked out of his room to find Roman. Surprisingly the clothes were a good fit for Ryce and was quite Comfortable to move around in.
After a while of searching for Roman he found him near a side door that leaded out of the warehouse. "Hey Roman, sorry I'm late Cinder had something she wanted to talk to me." Roman gave a small grunt before opening the door and walking out. "So what did Cinder want with you?" Roman said while looking back at Ryce. "She had some stuff that she wanted to give me." Ryce said with a shrug. "Well good for you darkman." Ryce raised on of his eyebrows at his new nick name. "Did you just call me darkman?" Roman gave a small chuckle. "Hey, I'm not the one wearing pure dark clothing, and even the Blade you have is Blake as well!" Ryce gave a quick glance at his blade which was now strapped on to his back before looking back at Roman. "It's not my fault that Cinder has a knack for this type of clothing." Roman started to laugh at this while still walking.
"It's time" Roman stated while looking at the store filled with dust. The stores name was "Dust Now or Never". "So what's the plan, do we just walk in and Rob the place?" Roman gave a small smile before walking towards the store. "Oh, sure we wait here for the store to nearly cloth and we just gonna walk in." Ryce mumbled to himself and followed Roman while taking out his blade from the sheath and putting on his Grimm mask. "Please don't make me do anything that I'm going to regret."
Roman walked in the store with a cigar in his mouth and his cane by his side, with Ryce appearing next to him with Darer at his side. "Hello there buddy." Roman said while walking up to the cashier. "I heard that you have a special case of crystal dust here." (A.N: Crystal Dust is not drugs!) The cashier nodded his head quickly. The cashier was a middle aged man with a average build. 'Nothing to worry about.' Ryce thought staying near the front door of the store.
"So let's say you give me it and we don't have to get our hands dirty." The cashier nodded his head and sucked behind his counter and came back with a silver case. Roman took the case and opened it showing capsules of Crystal dust. "Thank you for your cooperation but sadly we can't stay and talk, me and my partner here have places to be. Roman lifted up his cane and gave a whack to his head which gave a sickening sound to it as the man fell behind the counter. "You didn't have to do that Roman" Ryce growled clearly unhappy with Roman choice. "It's not liked killed the man." He said closing the case and walked out the front door with Ryce right besides him.
"So what now?" Ryce asked. "Easy, I called for a Bullhead to pick us up in abou-" Roman was interrupted by the sight of fire and both Roman and Ryce dived out of the way. "What the hell!" Ryce yelled out and he could see Roman scowling in front of him. Ryce turned to see who Roman was staring at and what he saw surprised him.
It a teenager with British themed clothing with red stripes on the, along with Claws strapped on to both his arms. The British themed clothing got Ryce the most, since he didn't expect to see that. The teen approached the two, Claws ready. "I say that you need to give that case back to that old man." 'Crap' Was all Ryce could think. Ryce looked over to Ryce and than back at the teen. "And who gonna make us?" Roman said with his cane at the ready. "Draxl Franzen, a hunter in training in Beacon Academy will!"
'A hunter in training from Beacon, this went from an Average robbery and into a hell hole.' Ryce was now started to think the odds were against them before Roman cut his thoughts. "Hey partner, I'll leave this boy to you." He said and walked back. 'You bastard!' I yelled in my head still staring at Draxl who was now starring at Ryce. 'Ok, think, think, think there's got to be some-" Ryce suddenly relized that the accent that Draxl had was a British one. "Another one from earth it can't be, but if it is.' Ryce decided to try out his plan and hoped it would work.
Ryce breathed in deeply before lowering his own voice and saying "You talk tough for a British Teen." Ryce knew that was uncalled for and he knew that the British wasn't all that bad. But to Ryces relief it workes. Draxl lowered his Claws and gave a look a of surprise and confusion. "How do you -" Draxl couldn't finish his sentence as Ryce charged him and delivered and overhead swing with the blunt of the blade. Draxl quickly raised up his own Claws to block the attack and the two weapons closed against each other. "Who are you?" Draxl managed to get out. Ryce gave a frown, knowing that Draxl couldn't see his face and said in his deep voice "I'm a man that came from a place that you once came from." Ryce disengaged him and rolled to his left and a wissing nice came to his ears.
Roman managed to get a shot off with his cane, and the explosion hit Draxl and launched him into a building. Roman gave a quick motion of his head to tell Ryce to follow him. Roman ran to a ladder that was leading towards the roof top and Ryce was right behind him. They both quickly got up the ladder and Ryce gave a small glance to see that Draxl had gotten up from Romans attack and was hot on their tail. Roman and Ryce quickly ran to the edge where a Bullhead was at and they jumped in it as Draxl managed to get on the roof. "See you stripes!" Roman said and started to laugh. Draxl quickly ran at the Bullheads before it could take off and jumped after.
'Sorry buddy.' Ryce thought as he turn Darer into its gun form and started at Draxl. Draxl put his Claws to block the bullets which protected him but the force of the bullet manage to stop his moment as he fell back down on the roof. "I'm guessing I'll see you later Draxl." Ryce mumbled before heading towards the cockpit where Roman was at with a White Fang grunt. "Good job Ryce, that was a good fight!" Roman said. "Thanks." Ryce mumbled as he waited for the Bullheads to reach their hideout.
