Authors note at the end of this chapter that i should have really included in the Update with Yang being in the Death Battle. Heh Silly me and also...FUCK YEAH! YANG WON! WOAH!
(Two Days Later)
Éclair followed Ozpin to the team she was going to be assigned too; she was wearing a black hoodie with red accents and red sleeves however the right sleeve being Ripped off, On both her forearms were forearms guards with the right one having a hidden blade, strapped to her left arm was 3 kunai knives marked with a fire emblem, On her left shoulder was a shoulder guard with a Lightning Bolt on it, She wore black pants, Strapped to her waist were two pouches, she wore black knee-high platform boot and a Grimm mask covering the upper half of her face(She can change her hair, her Name and her outfit but can't change her face). They continued watch with éclair mostly wondering why ozpin had a sword on his back
Ozpin stopped and Éclair did the same, she walked next to him and saw the dorm room name "RWBY", Ozpin then handed her the sword. "I Believe you were considerably skilled with Saber Wolf however while I am aware you would be most comfortable with it, it will be best if you use another weapon or something similar too it."
Éclair took the sword and unsheathed it revealing the sword, it wasn't like her original weapon it was completely straight and like her old weapon was single edged, the handle was roped, it had no guard either.
"What's the weapons name?" She asked.
"It doesn't have one, that's your choice on what it's called."
Ozpin turned to face the door and knocked on it, the door opened and ozpin walked inside and saw Ruby, Yang, Neo and Weiss.
"Good morning, Miss Rose, Miss Xiao Long, Miss Schnee, Miss Politan."
Ozpin looked towards one of the bunks and noticed someone was missing. "May I ask where Miss Belladonna is?" He said causing all of them to laugh nervously, ozpin raised an eye brow then shook his head. "Never mind, anyway I would like to inform you that from this point on your team will be assigned a backup member."
"Really?"
"Yes." He stepped to the side and éclair walked into the room but upon immediately entering the room she began shaking and sweating with fear at the sight of yang.
"You're are back up member?" Weiss asked, this caused éclair to become even more frightened
"Y-y-yes my n-n-name is Aka-I MEAN SCARLET HAY- I MEAN ECLAIR, SCARLET ECLAIR!" Éclair began laughing nervously to try and hide her nervousness but was obviously failing; the four girls looked at her with a look on confusion and then looked towards ozpin who had his face in his hand.
"Nice to meet you Éclair, Well we're actually about to head out into town too look for our friend Blake, she is a member of this team." Ruby explained
"o-o-okay" she said still nervous, she stepped to the side and team RWY and neo walked down the hall to head to vale, Éclair looked towards ozpin only to find him gone, she quickly ran after her teammates muttering one barely audible sentence. "I'm so boned..."
Aidan, Blake and cinder were currently sitting down drinking coffee, Well Cinder and Blake were while Aidan was drinking water but usually Aidan would be happy about hanging out except if it didn't make him feel very awkward. What made things awkward was the fact that there were 4 people Blake, Cinder, Him and their "New" Friend Sun and what added on to that is this wasn't technically friends hanging out.
'The most awkward moment in my life' he thought too himself
"So..." Blake finally spoke after two days, which caused Aidan to shiver at her voice. "You guys want to know more about me?" She asked.
"Finally she speaks! Nearly two days and you gave us nothing but small talk and weird looks!" she gave him a firm look. "Like that!" Sun said with a laugh.
"Guys, are you familiar with the white fang?" She asked. This caused Aidan to crush the cup he was drinking from and everybody looked towards him. "Yes...I am quite familiar with the white fang." He said with through his gritting teeth.
"Yes, Aidan and I are familiar with the white fang. You could say we have our own personal grudge against them." Cinder explained, and this caused Blake to tense up and then looked at sun for his answer. "Of course! There's not a Faunus on the planet who doesn't know them!"
Blake took a sip of her coffee and spoke. "I was once a member of the white fang." Cinder spit her coffee and in the process spat it on Aidan, sun went cross-eyed and began choking on his drink, and he puts his cup down and wipes his mouth. Everyone then looked at Aidan who was now covered in coffee and stood up and took his hoodie off and throw it in the garbage and walk back to the table
"You know i prefer it when you set my clothes on fire...NOT SPIT COFFEE ON IT!" he said obviously annoyed. He sat down while sun and cinder returned their attention too Blake.
"You were a member of the white fang?" cinder and sun asked in unison, "Yes I was for a majority of my life, I guess you could say I was born into it." Blake said, she then proceeded to explain the rest of the story with Aidan, Cinder and Sun listening carefully. "So, I decided enough was enough and left, I didn't want to use my skill for violence anymore and instead would dedicate my life to becoming a huntress under, all with the help of a black bow." Blake's cat ears wiggle under her bow.
"Have you told any of your friends any of this?" Sun asked and Blake looked down in shame. "Telling her friends isn't the problem Ruby, Yang and Neo would understand and I'm sure team JNPR, CMSN and ARIL will understand but the problem is Weiss and Legolas." Aidan explained and cinder looked at Aidan in confusion.
"How is Legolas a problem?" She asked, she could understand Weiss but Legolas. "Legolas is a soldier remember, his first instinct would too arrest Blake for conspiring with a terrorist group, and that would cause him to butt heads with us and that's something i want to avoid." He explained.
"That's if I decide to go back..." Blake said.
Team RWY, Éclair and Neo were walking through vale looking for their missing comrades. Ruby, Yang, and Neo were calling out their names while Weiss simply did nothing and éclair remained silent.
"Weiss you're not helping!" ruby said her voice laced with annoyance by her partners behavior. "You know who could help, Police!" she said. Neo and Ruby turned too Weiss and gave her a look that told her she was pushing it. "Weiss..." Ruby said with irritation. "It's just a suggestion." Weiss said. Unknowing to Weiss, éclair was slowly losing her temper.
"Weiss we should hear her side of the story before we jump to any conclusions." yang said. "And when we do you'll know that I was right!" Weiss said back, enough was enough.
"What the fuck is your problem?!" Éclair yelled shocking everyone. "What do you mean what is my problem?!" Weiss yelled back. "She's a fucking Faunus and a former member of the white fang so what! She's your teammate and you actually willing to turn her in?!" éclair said.
"She lied to us about who she was, and why are you now all of a sudden picking sides when you haven't even met her yet!" Weiss said back. "I'm siding with her because all you schnee's seem to only know how to do is look in the faults everyone has, your too busy looking at the fact that your friend, your own teammate was a former member of the white fang that she was relying on you to understand her problems!"
"The innocent don't run away!" Weiss said. "They do when they're betrayed by their friends!" Éclair shot back, this actually stung Weiss a bit forcing her to stay quiet. "And i think Weiss hair looks fine today!" a new voice said causing everyone to jump in panic. "Ahhh Penny where did you come from?!" ruby asked slightly scared. "Hey guys! What are you doing?" She said ignoring ruby's question.
"uhh.." Was all ruby said
"We're looking for our friend Blake." Yang explained. "You mean the Faunus girl?" She asked shocking everyone. "Wait how did you know she was a Faunus?" Yang asked. "The cat ears." Penny said while pointing at her head.
"She doesn't have cat ears, she wears a Boooooohhh" Realization dawned on the five of them and they remained silent as a ball of tumbleweed rolled by. "She does like tuna a lot..." ruby said.
"Where is she?" She asked. "We don't know, she's been missing since Friday." ruby explained.
"That's terrible" Penny said, she approached ruby which caused her to grow incredibly uneasy "Don't worry my Friend! I won't rest until we find your teammate!" She said, Ruby did her best to keep smiling but was obviously failing.
"Penny is it?" Éclair asked. "We appreciate your willingness to help but we got this covered right guys..." her voice trailed and ruby looked behind her to see why and noticed Yang, Neo and Weiss were gone leaving Éclair and Ruby with penny.
"Ruby...I'm really starting to hate your sister and partner right now..." Éclair said.
Aidan, Cinder, Blake and Sun were walking alley, Aidan had called in his locker in order to retrieve his weapons since he left the school without them and also a pair of new clothes since...a certain ebony haired pyromancer decided to go and spit coffee all over him.
"And it should be here right about now." Aidan said and his locked crashed into the ground in-front of him and he opened it reveal His Weapons Dragonoid, North & South Dakota however he noticed one of the weapons was missing.
"Where is Raiden...?" Aidan asked himself out loud, He looked on the clothes and saw a note and took it.
Dear Aidan,
Ryu needed Saber Wolf (Raiden) Back for some combat training,
he is deeply sorry but since the sword did belong to Akane
he has the right to use it and will return it once he is done with it, he will return it.
You're loving Brother, Tengiz "Terry" Simmons.
Aidan let out a sigh and simply took his shirt off which earned him some angry comments from Blake and Cinder.
"WHY ARE YOU CHANGING RIGHT NOW!?" Cinder and Blake said in unison. "Heh...Hypocrites" he said while putting the new shirt on. "No one complains about Mr. Wukong not keeping his shirt closed and revealing his chest but when someone takes their shirt of in public in an alleyway it's not a problem." He said, Cinder and Blake opened their mouths to protest then looked towards sun who was standing their remaining quiet and simply shrugged.
Aidan reached in for the locker and pulled out the hoodie that terry put in and then let out a sigh. "Besides it wouldn't have come to this if a certain pyro learned to keep her drinks in her mouth and be glad it was just my shirt and hoodie and not my pants." Aidan said and this earned him a growl from cinder, before Aidan put the hoodie on he turned around and saw Blake starring at his left arm.
"Ahem..." He said snapping Blake out of her trance. "I would appreciate if you didn't stare at my Arm." he said.
"Sorry, but curious why did they call your sword 'Saber Wolf' when its name is 'Raiden'?" She asked. "Nope. Next Question." he said while putting the hoodie on.
"How did you turn your left arm become that?" She asked this time. "Jury's still out. Next" he said and this answer was honestly beginning to annoy her. "How are you Related to Terry and Ayane when you're clearly not a Faunus." she asked.
"I was put into a foster home when i was 14, i was diagnosed with amnesia, I can't remember anything about my past the only info i do have is what cinder told me and that was my real last name and that we were friends for a while before i up and disappeared. Terry's and Ayane's parents adopted me."
"Who is akane? And whoever she is tell me why you have her sword." she asked, no demanded if it wasn't his weapon why did he have it in the first place. Aidan put dragonoid on his back and took his pistols and kicked the locker door closed.
"We need to figure out what the white fang want with that much dust." he said changing the subject.
"Only problem is we don't know where..." Blake pointed out, her voice had a hint of annoyance in it probably because of the fact he dodged her question.
"I might know." Everyone looked at sun. "When I was on the ship, I heard some guys mention offloading a large shipment of dust coming in from atlas." Sun explained, upon hearing atlas, Aidan shivered at the name, he never been there but he never liked it there...It made him feel uneasy.
"How huge?" Cinder asked.
"Huge, Schnee Dust Company." He said.
(Hours Later)
Blake was lying prone on the roof of a ware house, cinder was prone next to her while Aidan was kneeling next them.
"What are the chances of them actually coming here?" Aidan asked. "Pretty high if they are the ones stealing the dust." Cinder said. "And pretty low if it's not them." Blake added in.
Aidan has an ulterior motive for being here, if it was the white fang that puts him one step closer to finding Akanes killer and that puts him closer to getting revenge.
"She was my girlfriend." Aidan said surprising Blake and caused her to look towards him in confusion and then realized he just answered her question from earlier. "She was originally supposed to be going to beacon not me, if she was still alive she would most likely be where i am right now." Aidan began laughing lightly. "I wonder how she would have dealt with leading this team...probably would have done better than Me." he said smiling. "She was originally supposed to go to beacon instead of me but there was a dust robbery, not the one Ruby stopped but a different one, Akane met yang and they both stopped it, one of them ran away and akane chased after him." he explained.
"What happened?" Blake asked. "Yang told me before that member left, she didn't get a good look at him but she saw one thing though, Black and Red." Upon hearing that Blake's heart skipped a beat but she didn't let the expression show on her face.
'Adam what have you done?' she thought to herself. "When yang finally caught up..." His voice began breaking. "There was blood everywhere...and she were laying there in a pool of blood." Electricity began surging around Aidan and this caused cinder and Blake to get up and back away.
"Aidan calm down." Cinder said and all of sudden the electricity stopped. "I'm only at beacon to become a huntress in her place, I could care less about my life after that. All that matters to me is bringing her dream to life." He said and simply took out his guns to check their ammo. Before either of them could say anything further sun jumped onto the roof holding a bunch of apples.
"Did i miss anything?" He asked and handed one the apples he has too Aidan, who gladly takes it and begins eating it.
"No, they already offloaded the shipments but now it's just sitting there." Blake explained. "Cool" Sun said, he took one of the apples he was holding and handed her one of the apples. "I stole you guys some food." this caused Cinder and Blake too look at him questioningly while Aidan continued to eat the apple sun gave him.
"Do you always steal without a second thought?" Blake asked. "Hey weren't you apart of a terrorist group?" Blake glared at him while cinder slapped her hand against her forehead and simply pulled it down her face. "Alright, too soon." He said. the wing began blowing around them and they look up to see a bullhead fly over them and above the area and land near the shipment, Multiple soldiers walk out of the bullhead and upon seeing them Blake's heart stopped.
"Oh no" Blake said. "Is it them?" Cinder asked. "Sadly...it is..." Blake said sadness evident in her voice.
"You didn't think it was them did you?" sun asked. "I did think it was them...I just hoped that I was wrong." She said, Blake closed her in despair, Aidan slowly raised his hand to place on her shoulder but stopped when a new voice appeared and yelled at the white fang members, upon seeing cinder knew he was. "Roman Torchwick..." She said.
"So that's roman Torchwick? Huh he looks and sounds like a bigger jackass than Ruby, Legolas and Ra described him to be." Aidan said.
"This isn't right. The white fang would never work with a human. Especially one like that. Blake said.
"Well look on the bright side." Aidan said standing up and unsheathed dragonoid, Blake stood up too and unsheathed the katana of gambol shroud.
"We take down Mr. Jackass over there, we stop this operation." He said with a grin, Blake jumped down and Aidan did the same catching both cinder and sun off guard.
"What are you doing?!" Cinder and Sun said in unison, Cinder let out a sigh. Blake landed on the ground in a crouch while Aidan landed and rolled forward to a nearby shipping container for cover and Blake did the same. Blake peaked around the corner of the container and saw roman yelling at a white fang soldier.
"No, you idiot! That's not a leash!" Roman said in anger, and before he could react Blake appeared behind him holding the katana of gambol shroud too his neck. "What the?! Of for fuck-" he was cut off by Blake.
"Nobody move!" She shouted, Aidan jumped in front of them with Dragonoid ready, several white fang soldiers unsheathed their swords while others pointed guns at them. Blake used her free hand to remove her bow and reveal her cat ears.
"Brothers of the White Fang! Why are you aiding this scum?!" She said, Aidan looked at the members in front of them and saw them begin to lower their weapons.
'They don't know what to do?' Aidan thought to himself but he heard laughter and he snapped out of his thoughts. "Didn't you get the memo kid, I'm just the hired help." he said.
"Then who's in charge?" Blake asked, The wind began intensifying and Aidan, Blake and roman looked up to see two more bullheads arriving and one of them was open to reveal a man in it holding some kind of spear, jumped down and landed in front of the white fang soldiers. He was wearing a black long coat with silver highlights, Black pants, The Spear was a double ended glaive and in the center of the pole was a dust chamber similar to what Myrtenaster his face however was hidden by a hood.
"Him." Roman said cockily. The mean stood and lowered his hood to reveal his face, he was probably in his late twenties or early thirties, His eyes were red and he had long silver hair. "It's a pleasure to meet you Ms. Belladonna and I'm assuming you are Mr. Bianchi." He said calmly, Blake became confused at the last part of the sentence until Aidan spoke up. "Yeah and you are?" He asked.
The man bowed and spoke. "My Name is Maverick Argyris and as my 'Associate' Roman already said, I am in charge of this operation." He explained.
"I guessed as much, now next question how do you know our names?" Aidan asked.
"For your name Specifically, An associate of mine wishes to find and kill you." Maverick said calmly. "Apparently you butchered someone close to her during your time as an experiment." He explained.
"What?!" Aidan exclaimed, an e-e-experiment...Him?
"As for how I know your name, Ms. Belladonna, Well let's just say...the school flew too close to the sun." He said.
"Aidan..." Blake said, Aidan turned his head to look at Blake. "Ra..." she said. It then hit him.
"I'm going to kill that pyro..." Aidan growled but then looked at maverick who was smiling. "But first I'm going to kill you." As Aidan said this electricity began surging around his free hand.
"Kuwabara, Kuwabara." Maverick said, Aidan stopped moving for a moment and started laughing much to the confusion of roman and Blake.
"If you think I'm going to miss because of that you're dead wrong!" Aidan fired a blast of electricity at Maverick but a flash of red jumped in front of him and blocked it, when Aidan stopped and saw a man with red hair, red shirt, a long sleeved black trench coat with red designs and a white symbol on the left side, Black Pants, Black shoes and black gloves.
"Adam?!" Blake said in shock. The man called "Adam" Sheathed his sword and the red parts of his attire began glowing. "*Laughs* what do you know boy, It did work." Maverick said. Aidan charged towards maverick and Adam unsheathed his sword and performed a vertical slash, the slash extended and hit Aidan square in the chest sending him flying away from the others. Roman smiled and pointed Melodic Cudgel behind him at Blake's feet and pulled the trigger and causing an explosion knocking her back.
(Aidan)
Aidan was sent crashing into one of the shipping containers; Aidan crawled out of the container and saw the man named Adam waiting for him.
"I'm surprised that didn't kill you." He said. "I don't die that easily." Aidan said readying his weapon. Taurus raised his sword but before he could do anything else he was stopped my maverick.
"Taurus, Leave now." He said earning a confused look from both Adam and Aidan.
"WHAT THE FUCK?! YOU HAVE HIM ABSORB AND HIT ME WITH MY OWN ATTACK AND YOU TELL HIM TO LEAVE?!" Aidan shouted angrily. Maverick simply chuckled at this. "What's so funny jack ass!?" Aidan yelled.
"As much as I would love to see how you handle yourself against Adam, I rather keep him alive. As I recall you're searching for the murderer of Akane Hayashi no?" Maverick asked.
"How do you know about that?" Aidan asked. "Well, See if you kill Taurus you'll get your revenge however that will put a stop to my-" Maverick was cut off by aidan swinging dragonoid, Maverick blocked with his glaive and punched aidan in the chest knocking him back, Aidan pulled out north Dakota and started shooting at maverick and fired three shots. Maverick raised his free hand and blocked each bullet with his aura, Maverick raised his glaive and orange rune-marks appeared on the blade and fired a fireball at Aidan, The fireball hit North Dakota and caused it to explode in his hand but Aidan brought up his aura at the last minute.
The smoke cleared to reveal electricity surging around Aidan. "Taurus, I you advise. Leave now." Maverick said this time more sternly. Adam simply remained and ran too rejoin torchwick.
"Now then boy..." Maverick spun his glaive and pointed it at Aidan. "Show me your power." He said his eyes began glowing. Aidan readied dragonoid. "With pleasure!" He said with a growl.
'Oni might not be exaggerating about this boy being dangerous.' maverick thought to himself.
(Blake and Sun)
Blake slowly got up. And turned her head to see roman pointing Melodic Cudgel at her and fired a flare, before Blake could react a fireball flew past her and clashed with the flare causing both to cancel each-other out. "He's mine!" Cinder yelled as she ran past towards torchwick, Blake unsheathed gambol shroud and also charged towards torchwick but she saw a flash of red and her Gambol shroud clashed with a red sword, she looked to see Adam.
"Long time no see, Blake." He said, Adam broke the clash and swiped at Blake's feet but she jumped back and readied gambol shroud. "Adam, why are you working with that scum?!" she asked, She turned gambol shroud into its pistol form and fired several shots at him, Adam pointed blush and did the same the bullets hit each other and knocked each other out of the air.
"If we're truly to become equals with them, we need to show them what we are capable of." he said. "That isn't equality, its fear!" She said. They both stopped firing and Adam charged at Blake and swung wilt, Blake used her semblance to dodge it and slashed again however Adam quickly recovered from his previous attack and swung his weapons causing the attacks to clash with each other, Adam swung his sword again but Blake used her semblance to dodge and put some space between them. "Better to be feared the-" before he could continue a banana peel fell on his head, He reached for it and pulled it off and then looked up only to see sun falling down and landing on him and then jumping over to Blake.
"Leave her alone!" Sun said. Taking out Ruyi Bang and Jingu Bang and turning it into its staff form. Adam got up and looked towards the two, He picked up wilt and got into a combat stance, Sun charged at Adam and swung his staff, Adam blocked the attack and pushed sun back and slashed at his feet but sun jumped and kicked Adam square in the chest knocking him back. Adam Pointed blush at sun and fired several shots but sun spun Ruyi Bang and Jingu Bang and deflected them. "HE'S MINE!" Blake ran past sun and dashed past Adam slashing in the process but Adam blocked them, Blake began slashing constantly at Adam who effortlessly block them, Adam swung wilt and Blake used her semblance making a shadow clone to take the hit and jump behind him, however Adam anticipated this and kicked Blake in the stomach as she landed and slashed her knocking her back. Sun kicked Adam in the chest and Ruyi Bang and Jingu Bang separated into their Nunchaku/Shotgun form and swung them, Adam blocked the hits but had quickly leaned to the side when sun grabbed one of the guns and pulled the trigger firing the gun, Sun continued swinging and firing his weapon while Adam either dodged or blocked the shot. When sun stopped shooting, Blake took the opportunity to slash Adam knocking him back in the process.
(Cinder)
Roman fired more flares at Cinder who did the same and fired more fireballs and each of their attacks canceled each other out, Cinder jumped in the air and roman fired another flare at her, Cinder fired a fireball and summoned her swords. When the fireball hit the flare it canceled each other out and cinder slashed downwards, roman blocked with his cane causing their weapons to clash.
"Is there anyone in this school who isn't a weirdo?!" Roman asked, He broke the clash and pushed cinder back and fired a flare at her, Cinder jumped up onto a nearby shipping container, Roman fired another flare at her but cinder jumped onto another container too avoid it. Cinder looked down towards roman and pointed her palm at him.
"That's grand coming from a punk like you!" She fired another fireball at torchwick however he ran away from it back towards Black and Sun.
'I'm starting to see why Ruby had such an easy time mopping the floor with him.' Cinder thought to herself.
Aidan charged at maverick swinging his weapon relentlessly at his opponent however much to his annoyance the older man blocked all of them with his glaive, Aidan continued this assault until maverick counter one of the attacks and grabbed aidan by his neck and threw him into one of the shipping containers.
"Is that you're best?" Maverick said with a sly grin, Multiple bullets came out of the container and were flying towards maverick, Maverick quickly turned the dial on the center of the pole arm and stopped when the arrows on it hit blue, Rune-Marks appeared on the blade of the weapon and he stabbed it into the ground creating an ice shield to block the bullets, Aidan ran out of the container and swung dragonoid breaking the ice shield, Aidan pointed South at maverick but he side stepped dodging the bullets and swung his glaive at aidan but he blocked with his pistol.
"Hm, maybe oni was right about you." Maverick said, Aidan pushed maverick back and fired more bullets, Maverick spun his glaive and blocked the bullets however one of the bullets made it through and went through his right shoulder. Maverick fired an ice blade at Aidan but the blade hit south and cutting it in half. Aidan dropped the destroyed pistol and looked at his opponent.
"Those were my favorite guns!" He yelled.
"Cry me a river." was all simply maverick said, Maverick raised his glaive again but stopped when Aidan spoke, "Hold up, I don't understand something..." Aidan said.
"And what's that?" He asked.
"Why? Why are you helping the white fang?" Aidan asked and noticed maverick smiled at his question.
"You feel the Faunus pain, No?" He asked.
"What?"
"You disagree with the way Faunus are treated am I correct? Humans have done nothing but corrupt this world, corroding it, Poison it and where does all the blame go to The Faunus." He explained. "The Faunus have been on the receiving end of the human race's wrath and all they want in life is to be mere equals but are still denied the equality they deserve. Being forced to thrive in the darkness that humans themselves have created."
"But aren't you a human yourself, the way Blake reacted too you and Torchwick is enough to tell me you aren't a Faunus!" Aidan said. "No, I'm not human...*Raises his arms in the air* I will be the one to bring remnant back to its former glory, I will lead the Faunus into equality." Maverick said raising his glaive and turning the dust dial to the yellow section and the rune-marks appeared again and the blade and maverick pointed it at Aidan and fired a blast of electricity, Aidan blocked with dragonoid but unbeknownst to Aidan though his sword having a third form that was a firearm caused the gun components to become unstable. Aidan broke through Mavericks attack and too his shock the sword started sparking, he threw his sword towards maverick but he deflected back it back at Aidan, Aidan dodged it but the sword stabbed into a nearby dust container.
The sword exploded and this caused the dust container it was stabbed in too explode, Aidan was sent flying by the explosion. Maverick used ice dust to shield himself from the blast. When the explosions stopped, Maverick broke the ice shield and looked around for Aidan's body and saw him lying on the floor trying to get up. Maverick walked over to Aidan with his glaive ready.
When maverick reached Aidan he stabbed Aidan with his Glaive and lifted him up. "It appears oni was wrong about you." Maverick turned the dust dial to electricity and electrocuted Aidan earning screams from him. "Oni was indeed wrong about you." Aidan looked at maverick in the eye as he continued to electrocute him and Aidan's eyes flashed red for a moment.
'Wait did his eyes just?' Aidan reached for the end of the glaive he was stabbed with and grabbed the pole, Aidan pushed the blade deeper in his chest and lifted the glaive and maverick off the ground.
"WHAT?!" Maverick looked at Aidan in shock, Aidan threw maverick at an already destroyed shipping container and this caused the glaive to be pulled out of Aidan's chest, Aidan fell on his knees and gripped his chest with his hand. Maverick recovered and his aura appeared around him for a second. "DON'T TEST ME!" He yelled.
"I won't let you..." Aidan said, doing his best to stand up. "What?" Maverick said standing up. "I won't let you destroy the world she wanted to protect." Aidan said finally managing to stand up. "I won't let you kill her dream!" Aidan yelled, His left arm started glowing red, much to mavericks shock.
"I forgot about his damn enhanced arm." Maverick cursed to himself. "I said…DON'T TEST ME!" Maverick pointed his glaive at Aidan and ran towards him, Aidan still gripping his chest was unable to make an attempt to defend against it. Maverick thrust his glaive forward but before instead of hitting Aidan, the glaive hit an ice wall.
"What?!" Maverick yelled in anger, before he could react two kunai hit the wall in front of him and began glowing red and exploded knocking him back and destroying the wall. Aidan was unmoved but before he could do anything, someone grabbed his arm and he looked to see a girl in a Grimm mask.
"Come on! Before he gets up, we need to regroup with Ruby and the others!" She said, Aidan listened but something about her voice sounded familiar to him. The girl ran and Aidan followed her.
(Roman)
When Torchwick ran back to Taurus, He was hoping he would have dealt with the girl however much to his shock and dismay the girl wasn't just beating him but there was another kid with her and he had a tail.
'Where are these kids coming from?!' He thought to himself, Roman looked above Taurus and the other two to see a shipping container hanging above them and fired at it, the container fell and Blake, Sun and Adam jumped out of the way however sun landed right in front of Torchwick who had Melodic Cudgel pointed at him.
"Today just isn't your day?" Roman said. "HEY!" Roman looked up and he silent cursed himself, Sun used this opportunity to escape and go find Blake. Ruby stabbed crescent rose into the roof of the warehouse. "Well hello their red, isn't it past your bed time?" Torchwick cockily asked.
"Ruby are these people your friends?" Penny asked. "Penny get back" Ruby said. Roman used this opportunity to fire a flare at her, Ruby turned back too look at roman only to be knocked back by an explosion. Roman laughed but cut it short when he rolled out of the way and looked towards the source of it and when all the color drained from his face.
(Cinder)
When Ruby was sent knocked back by the explosion roman caused, Something snapped in cinder and all she saw was red and looked towards roman and fired a fireball at him but he dodged it and he looked towards her and upon doing so began running, Cinder jumped down from the container and was about to chase after him however she was stopped when penny jumped down in front of her and her swords came out of the metal pack on her back (Unintentional rhyme). Cinder looked in shock and jumped back when penny launched the swords at multiple white fang soldiers charging at us, Cinder used the opportunity to jump to the rooftop and help ruby up.
"Are you all right?" She asked her voice full of concern.
"I feel like i got hit by Magnhild..." Ruby said putting a hand on her head; Cinder chuckled lightly at ruby comment. Cinder and Ruby both looked up to see penny using her swords too pull down a bullhead with her swords.
"How-What is she?" Cinder asked.
(Maverick)
Maverick got up and looked towards the destruction that was being caused, When he reached the source he wasn't expecting to see a girl pulling down a bullhead, He turned around and saw the Aidan and the girl from before, he raised his glaive and fired a fireball at them and it hit them from behind launching them forward and watched as they landed on the ground on their fronts. Before he could fire another one, he had to move out the way of the bullhead finally crashing down into the shipping yard.
'Hmm, Maybe another day.' He thought to himself as he began walking away.
(Éclair)
When she and Aidan were launched forward but fortunately for her, the black knocked aidan out however it also knocked her mask off thus revealing her face, When they crashed forward, she immediately got up and picked aidan up(Which was difficult because he was heavy as fuck) and ran for the entrance. When she reached it Cinder, Blake, Sun, Ruby and Penny were already there and for a moment cinder eyes widened in shock but then quickly dissipated it.
She sat Aidan down next to a nearby crate and simply checked his pulse and not surprised by the fact that he was still alive. 'Why am I not even surprised by the fact that he's still alive.' She thought to herself.
"Is he okay?" Penny asked. Éclair did not turn around too respond she simply kept her back turned. "Yeah, He has survived way worse from what I heard about him at the school." She explained. "So…um Blake was it…I'm Scarlet Éclair, I'm team RWBY's Support member."
"Nice to mee- FUCK I FORGOT ABOUT LEGOLAS AND IRIS!" Blake screamed.
"What?" They all asked in unison. "I'll explain later ruby, you're the fastest out of everyone here, go to beacon and find Legolas and iris!" Blake said.
"R-right." She said and in a flash of rose petals she was gone.
(Ruby)
In a matter of seconds ruby had arrived at beacon, and much to her surprised there were scorch marks everywhere in front of the school and from how each of them looked, the person was using fire dust.
"Legolas? Iris?" Ruby yelled out in concern. "Over here!" Ruby turned around to see Iris carrying legolas on her back and with Heaven flower in her other hand. Ruby ran towards them and helped set legolas down on the ground. Legolas armor was completely destroyed and he was covered in scorch marks as well, Ruby looked towards iris and saw the same thing, however iris looked concerned.
"Iris what happened? Who did this to legolas?" She asked her voice full of concern for her friends.
"Ra..." Iris said no emotion evident in her voice. "Ra?"
"Yes ruby! Ra did this! He and some mercenary with the ability to control shadows nearly killed me and legolas! What don't you understand?" Iris yelled her voice now filled with anger. She looked at ruby and saw her looking down at the floor and she immediately regretted what she said. "Ruby, I'm sorry I didn't mean to yell...I can't believe that." Iris explained.
"It's fine, let's just get legolas to the infirmary" She said while picking legolas up, ruby quickly helped her and moved to help her.
(Hours Later)
After getting legolas to the infirmary, Yang, Neo, Weiss, Blake, Éclair, and Cinder returned with a still unconscious Aidan. They stopped by his dorm room and were semi surprised to find all of Ra's stuff gone but ignored it and put Aidan on his bed.
"The stab wound on his chest, it's gone but how?" Éclair asked. "He always claimed he was a fast healer, Maybe that's why he can survive half the stuff he deals with." Neo guessed but she was just as curious.
"We should probably let him get some sleep and we could use some ourselves." Éclair said, she walked towards the door and neo followed her. They entered the hallway and both headed toward their respective dorm room, Éclair didn't mind not wearing her mask because luckily for her, neo had never met her before the incident so she was safe.
When she reached the dorm room all four members of Team RWBY were standing their looking at her.
"Guy's what is the matter?" She asked somewhat scared she wasn't wearing her mask. The door behind her closed and she saw cinder leaning against it.
"Akane…Is that really you?" Cinder and yang said in unison.
"Aww…Crap baskets…" Akane said.
(Unknown)
How she ended up interrogation room was beyond her, If she could blame anyone it was definitely that fox huntress she fought. 'Taser at the end on the Escrima sticks..Seriously how is that fair. Granted it's effective but serious that's bullshit' she thought to herself, her ears twitching in anger, She put her hand on the top of her hand and brushed past her ears.
The door to the interrogation room opened and a man in a green suit with white hair and glasses came in holding a scroll in its tablet form. "So you are the Mercenary Sienna and Azure captured during their mission?" He asked.
"So what if I am?" She said, causing the man to laugh. "You're a little young to be a Mercenary don't you think?" he asked somewhat surprised by her age.
"Well aren't you a little old to be a school headmaster?" she responded. The man remained calm and simply continued speaking. "So you are aware of who I am?" He asked.
"Yes, your name is Ozpin a Huntsman and Headmaster of Beacon Academy and your bounty is 10,000,000 Lien." She said. "10,000,000?" Ozpin asked a little shocked at the number.
"Yep. No one will take the bounty though…They mostly go for anything related to Schnee or Human politician or Higher up white fang members." She explained. "I see." Was all he said before continuing.
"Ms. Gatti I believe you name is." He said causing her to glare at him in confusion. "It's my job to know these things as a Teacher and a Huntsman. I am not here to arrest you or execute if that's what you originally thought, I am here with an offer." He said.
"What offer?" She asked. "I would like you to join my school as a student." He said shocking her. "are you insane or are you mentally challenged?" She asked.
"No. I simply cannot stand by and watch someone waste their talents on taking the lives on others when they can be using it to protect others." He explained.
"But…I killed people…human politicians…" She said.
"Yes however I am aware of the corruption they have caused and while I do believe that you should be punished for your crimes however I'm offering you a chance for redemption." He said. "If I accept, who will be put on a team with?"She asked. Ozpin showed her the scroll and three windows were open she looked at the windows and saw three people two boys and one girl. The first boy had white hair and was wielding a giant sword; The Girl had blue hair and was wielding what looked like a Naginata Sniper, The third and final boy was wearing some kind of atlesian armor and was wielding a sniper rifle.
"So that's the team I will be assigned too?" She asked.
"Yes. The former member of the team turned out to be a Spy for the white fang and nearly killed Ms. Bellerose and Mr. Largorio and before anything could be done, he escaped." He explained.
'They were really willing to betray their own teammates like that?' She thought to herself. She was torn by the decision, One Hand she has a chance to become something more than a mercenary and actually put her skills to better use and on the other hand, She could kill Ozpin now and collect the bounty setting her for life but even if she could kill him, she would still most likely be killed the moment she leaves this room.
"Alright…I'll join you're school." She said. he stood up and walked towards the door gesturing for her to follow; She stood up and followed him.
'Maybe this is the better choice.' She thought to herself.
AKANE IS ALIVE! DUH, DUH, DUH! Well for a majority of you who have read "Return of a Dragon" And saw that scene..you probably though that Koori oni was akane but unfortunately you are wrong. Originally i wasn't gonna bring Akane back because of reasons and me doing it in my other story was personally a mistake in my opinion HOWEVER The reason i'm doing it in this story is because it's a waste of an OC and she has a lot more potential than that and so i brought her back.
That death battle though was...EPIC! i liked that they were Able to get Barbra too reprise her role for the Match up and we can all agree it went out with a Yang, And for all u Final Fantasy fans out their i'm sorry that tifa lost but...Yang is just too hot for Tifa to handle, She almost had a victory until things just snapped out of place.
Now lets talks about the first two Episodes of RWBY Volume 3 and can i just say...THE HYPE IS REAL! The Animation has improved since Volume 1 and 2 and i like a majority of the newly revealed characters already and i'm Definitely looking forward too the fight Between Qrow and Winter, Personally i find it funny and ironic that Neptune has Aquaphobia(Fear of Water) given his namesake and his weapon however i'm not gonna hold that against him(Probably) and...can i just say...Poor Scarlet(The canon character not my OC) That had to hurt.
Nora's Semblance though...Damn...I'm tempted to make a Fight between her and Aidan and find out who wins...It's almost shocking.(I know that was shitty.)
ANYWAY! Next Chapter! Aidan, legolas and Iris get a new Team Member and Things are opened up a bit about iris and Akane starts facing the music. I WILL SEE YOU NEXT CHAPTER!
