Hey everyone, ironfist97 here with an announcement!
I know you all are wondering when are we gonna get HIRO: Volume 3?
Don't worry, Volume 3 is here, but we need to address the story of the young boy we saw at the end of Volume 2. So...
1. HIRO: Volume 3-The Final Days of Spring= This six chapter fanfic will technically serve as the beginning of Volume 3. Oceania will serve as the main setting of this six-part story. The fanfic takes place during the events of Grimm Eclipse, and will serve as an introduction to HIRO: Volume 3. The reason I am doing this, is because the young man and several other new characters will play major key roles in Volume 3, and I feel if I don't do these six chapters, then HIRO: Volume 3 will feel incomplete to me, and I want to give you all a great story that I hope you all will enjoy.
Now, some of you have been wondering: Why are you focusing so on the Spring season, while it should be the Fall season, like in RWBY. Well, I have two answers for this. My first answer, is that I littearly thought Volume 3 of RWBY took place at the end of the school year, and at the start of Summer. However, I rewatched the first three episode of Volume 3, and the further episodes after it, and realized that the Vytal Festival was held during the Fall season. So, that was my bad. Second, Spring and later Summer, play a pivotal role in the setting of HIRO: Volume 3, and it also plays in with several characters in the volume.
The next question you all are wondering is: Why are you even doing this? Well, that's for two reasons again. The first reason is, because I want Volume 3 to be a full story. A grand story that Volume's 1+2 have been building up to. And second, this will explore the lives of the people who live in Oceania, a town that doesn't have the protection of the Vale Military, and hasn't been attacked by the Grimm who live outside of Vale.
I know a lot of you are thinking that:("This is pointless! There is no reason for all of this useless stuff!") But, I promise you all, that this will greatly flesh out some of the new characters that we will meet in Volume 3, and the young man is also connected to a few RWBY characters, so I promise that this won't be horrible. This, is just my idea of fleshing out the story more. And besides, this story is mandatory for several characters, especially Hero and the perdicament that he is in right now.
Now, a lot are you are also wondering: What about Autumn? What about "You-know-who?" And: Are Cinder and the others still trying to obtain the "You-know-what?" My answer to all of this is: Don't worry, everything is still there. Please, don't worry.
Anyway, comment and let me know what you all think. Until then...Keep moving forward!
