Sup everyone! I thank you guys a ton for liking the Dust concept. To be honest I wasn't so sure myself. Anyway, enjoy this chapter because… let's just say that Hank shows off his skillz (skills with a Z). Before I forget I decided to make this canon to the series, not today though. I don't know how, but I am a FanFictioner! A FanFictioner can make the impossible possible! WHO'S WITH ME! *all the Fanfiction members cheered*
Three Days Later
It was a nice Friday afternoon, all the students (and hunters) are having a nice lunch… until Ruby thought of something. She pulled out her Scroll and put it on the camera and started recording. "Um sis, what are you doing?" Yang asked looking at her half-sister curiously. Ruby just smiled and pointed her Scroll at the hunters across them. "Hey is that thing recording?" Hank asked. Ruby nodded. "Hey Hank, do it for the Vine." Ruby said. Everyone but the Support member face palmed. Hank smiled and lit up his cigar. "Oh snap Ruby, better get ready to get your mind blown to bits." Caira suggested know what he's going to do. "You know I'm not just good at hunting," Hank started. "I'm also a good performer." Hank finished.
When he took a deep breath from the cigar, and then exhaled creating a ring of smoke across the table, making it look like a jellyfish. The Weiss, Yang, and Blake clapped, while the leader kept on recording. Hank did multiple rings in front of him, blowing others through them, while inhaling the old rings. This made a small crowed around the table. Hank made trick after trick, blowing everyone's minds and for the final act, he got up inhaled as much as possibly (not killing him though) and made the biggest heart of smoke towards Abe and Caira. Everyone clapped and Hank bowed. "Hank, I think you've out done yourself." Parnell congratulated. "Just had to do what I had to do." Hank responded. "And I got everything. It might even go viral." Ruby said, putting the Scroll back in her pocket. Although the awesome performance Hank gave, Goodwitch thought differently. "You shouldn't be smoking in school grounds." Goodwitch growled.
"Sorry 'bout that just had to do it for the Vine. AM I RIGHT PEOPLE?!" Hank yelled out, followed by cheers. Glynda sighed. "Just, don't do it again." Glynda instructed before leaving. Abe tapped Hank's shoulder.
"What up Abe?"
"We need to talk."
Abe and Hank left the dining room and closed the doors behind them.
"What the hell where you thinking?!" Abe yelled/whispered. "I don't know what you're talking about." Hank responded innocently. Abe grunted. "About that heart around Caira and me." Abe answered, getting a bit ticked off. "Oh that, well I was trying to help you." Hank said, crossing his arms. "I don't need help from you old man. I got it all covered." Abe responded, shoving Hank. "Exactly what you said before the Aviary Disaster, The Dam Flood, the Medlab Catastrophe, should I keep on going?" Hank asked, giving a sarcastic look at the Trapper. Abe sighed in defeat. "Ok I get it, but not a word ok. You know you're the only one I actually trust on keeping this secret right?" Abe reminded, remembering all that events.
Aviary Disaster Flashback
Sunny, Abe, Caira, and Markov had dropped from the ship weapons ready. After a few minutes of searching and battling wild life, they found the Kraken causing the trouble. Being fully evolved, it was a hard battle. "I got the dome ready!" Abe yelled out, throwing the dome. But unfortunately it missed locking three out of four hunters. The fourth hunter being Caira wanted to enter the dome, but the Kraken managed to get the sneak attack on her. Abe wanted to drop the dome, but the amount of electricity it took damaged it. Hearing Caira's screams for help didn't help at all, but Abe finally dropped the mobile dome. The Kraken ran off leaving Caira nearly dead. After that they managed to kill the Kraken, but Abe couldn't stop blaming himself after that mission.
The Dam Flood Flashback
Abe missed by an inch with the tracking dart.
The Medlab Catastrophe Flashback
Abe wasn't able to track the monster.
When that thing was settled, Ozpin called the Hunters with their Scrolls. (Finally got what was needed) "Finally some action." Caira mumbled.
Ozpin's office
"You called?" Parnell rhetorically asked, as he opened the double doors. "Yes I did. Now remember what you said about the effect 'Dust' has with Slash?" Ozpin reminded. "Yep, I think he's back to normal by now." Hank responded. "Well, last night, I got security footage from a 'Dust' mine." Ozpin said, putting said footage to the screen.
The hunters where surprised to see a Kraken and Behemoth eat the crystal, with the rock monster eating the whole cart. Both monsters fell to the ground, with a change of style. The Kraken now had a darker back almost looking black and the front a mix of white and red. The Behemoth seemed to have a green tone to the rocklike skin, looking like it can reflect light.
Ozpin turned off the footage, looking worried. "This is really bad news." Abe mumbled taking off his hat. "Ironwood, the one in charge of the robots, said that his models aren't doing much. He almost even lost his best robot Penny." Ozpin stated. "And let me guess, you want us to go out there and do our job." Parnell said. Ozpin nodded. "Especially sense we have a field trip coming up soon, and I don't want any monsters putting my students in a bigger danger." Ozpin said. The hunter agreed to the job, mainly because they enjoy it.
The hunter ran back to the dorm, and readied their weapons. "I'm really excited to fight the monsters with new powers." Caira cheered, butting on her jetpack. "Don't get to cocky Ms. Diaz. We might've fought the monster before, but while their overpowered with 'Dust'… who knows what could happen." Hank suggested loading his Laser Cutter.
Outside
The hunters finally left to a heliplane and waved good bye to their friends. "You think they'll be ok?" Jaune asked with worry. "They're pros at what they do so you don't have to worry much." Nora stated. "You're right Nora." Jaune said turning to the hammer/grenade launcher wielder.
A few hours later
The hunters where currently on their way to the mine that was attacked last night by the monster. "We're right above our destination, preparing to land." The pilot instructed. "No need to for landing sir, we got it covered." Abe said before jumping of the heliplane, going to a free fall. "Land somewhere faraway so that the monsters won't find you as easily." Hank suggested to the pilot and co-pilot. Both nodded in agreement and after all the passengers left they did just that.
Solid ground 9:55 P.M.
If it wasn't for some remaining lights, the whole place would be engulfed in darkness. The hunters walked to the cart that had the 'Dust' from the video. Abe put his custom shot gun in the ground and placed his ear against the ground. They were quiet, waiting for the Trapper do his job. "It's faint, but they're still in this area." Abe instructed getting up. "Ok, we got a Kraken and Behemoth. Which one should we get first?" Hank asked, looking around the area. "I say we get Squid Face first, sense it's weaker and easier to defeat one." Parnell suggested. Everyone agreed to that idea and went to the forest that seemed to surround the area.
Getting deeper to the forest gave them the chills. After all, new world, new creatures, and new dangers, but the same fun as before. They would see red glowing eyes and without another thought kill the creature known as Grimm. "Hey, it's disintegrating!" Caira observed, as the Ursa started to fade away. "Oh snap, Griffin is not going to like this." Parnell chuckled at that thought.
After a few more minutes of exploring, they finally heard a familiar sound. "Activating cloaking." Hank warned turning invisible as well as his team. They quickly ran to the source of the sound and found their target, feeding on a Grimm. Abe quickly pulled out the mobile dome and got closer to the monster. Without it noticing Abe throw the device at the Kraken's face making it angry. "Surprise motherfucker!" Abe yelled and started shooting. The Kraken backed away a bit and started to spit out the Banshee Mines.
The rest of the hunters wasted no time and started to attack. "Going, Super Soldier!" Parnell yelled, feeling some pain already. The Kraken flew up to the sky and started to shoot balls of lightning from its hands. It managed to get a few good hits on Abe, but thanks to Hank's shielding device he didn't felt a thing. Caira and Parnell were shooting together with enough fire power to force it to go down. "Armor destroyed!" Parnell yelled out. The monster charged at full speed to the Medic. Abe quickly threw a Stasis Grenade (that's what it's called right?) to the Kraken slowing it down. Caira dodged the tentacle by using the jetpack dodge missing by an inch.
The team used whatever they had in their power to deal with the monster. Parnell is going head on, Hank shielding if necessary, Abe slowing the monster, and Caira healing as much as possible. Once the dome was down it tried to escape, but Parnell aimed his rocket launcher and fired, making the Kraken fall to the ground, and bursted to blood. "Alright, I thought sense it ate 'Dust' it'll be much harder." Caira stated, reloading her weapon. "Well it was at stage 2, but maybe it evolved recently." Abe suggested. Without any other plan they head back to the heliplane.
But, once they got to there, the heliplane was nothing more than just scrap in flames. Caira instinctively ran to it and checked if the pilot and co-pilot where in it. Hank shielded Caira so that she would check the vehicle without any injuries. Caira was relieved to see that the seats where empty, but then there was the question if they were injured… or eaten. "What could've done this?" Hank asked looking at the wreck. "Abe, any tracks?" Parnell said turning to the Trapper. "Way ahead of you dude." Abe said dragging his fingers to the floor. Abe narrowed his eyes to see what he thought, Behemoth tracks, but also a set of foot prints. "Um, guys you are not going to believe this, but, we got AT LEAST five pairs of human/faunas foot prints." Abe instructed getting up. "That makes no sense!" Parnell yelled. "I know, I thought maybe only two, sense the pilots might be running away. BUT here! Oh shit. It seemed that whoever was with the monster was walking side-by-side." Abe responded scratching his head.
Then there was a slow clap in the darkness that broke the silence. "You are a smart group." A voice said. The hunters raised their weapons. "Show yourself!" Caira commanded. The figure walked forward to be Roman Torchwick. "Who are you and what do you want!" Parnell yelled aiming his shotgun. Torchwick shook his head. "I'm just a simple man with simple business and that business is 'Dust', robots, weapons, and robbery." The villain answered. "Hey, you're that Torchwick guy Pyrrha talked about!" Hank yelled. Said villain clapped. "You are smart for an old man." Torchwick chuckled. "Where are the pilots!?" Abe asked aiming his weapon. Roman clapped his hands and two White Fang member come in, with said pilots. The hunters are about to pull their triggers. Torchwick waved his figure. "Now, now, we don't want any violence, or blood. How 'bout a deal?" Roma asked. The hunters lowered their weapons. "Ok, your equipment for their lives and another ship." Torchwick suggested. The hunters looked at each other, he means bull shit. So they nodded, and threw their weapons and gear in a pile to the ground. "Hey what about his suit?" a White Fang member asked, tightening his grip on the co-pilot's neck.
"Oh trust me, if anyone wears this without the proper training, they will die in the spot." Parnell said holding his hands up defensively. Torchwick nodded and the member through the pilot and co-pilot to the ground. Caira and Abe ran to check if they had any injuries. "Hey what about the jet packs?" the other White Fang member asked, picking up Hank's Laser Cutter. "We don't need them, now let's get moving. Oh and the heliplane is right over there." Torchwick said pointing to a heliport with said vehicle. Caira and Abe helped the pilots up. "You guys ok?" Caira asked, dusting of the pilot. "The rock monster… they had it under his orders." The co-pilot said shaking in fear. Hank shook his head in disbelief. "Impossible, a monster that size shouldn't be able to follow orders from anyone." Hank said crossing his arms. "But it's true, he said to find the squid one." The pilot defended. Suddenly a roar was heard in the distance.
Wasting no time, Parnell activated the Super Soldier and personal shield, and ran to the villains. "What the!?" Was that Torchwick could say before getting punched in the guts. The White Fang members charged at the Assault member, but they only saw a fist to the face. "We don't have time to lose!" Parnell yelled, getting his rocket launcher. The team grabbed their weapons, found rope, tied the villains, and ran to the heliplane, with the unconscious villains with them. Caira activated the boost device to go faster. "Whoa, your technology is amazing!" the pilot complimented. "Why thank you." Caira thanked.
When our heroes finally got to the heliplane, they turned to see that the Behemoth was gaining on them. The pilot and co-pilot hurried and hotwired the vehicle. Everyone sat down and they took off. "Can you go any faster!?" Parnell yelled, punching Torchwick unconscious again. "Can't you guys fight it!?" The co-pilot yelled to the hunters. "Well yes no problem, but we just captured the most wanted criminal of this world! Plus, if we leave you here imagine what they would do if they wake up." Hank stated. The pilots understood and went full speed back to Beacon. Suddenly the heliplane stopped, making everyone lose balance. "We're hooked!" the pilot yelled out. The hunters looked outside and saw what was holding them back; it was the monster's tongue. "It's going to bring us down if we don't do something!" the co-pilot yelled. Caira was way ahead of them and shot a grenade at the tongue. "I hope you like spicy food!" Caira yelled. The monster roared and finally let go of the vehicle.
"That was a good plan Caira." Hank complimented. Caira smiled at the Support member. "Next stop Beacon Academy." The co-pilot instructed. The hunters sat back down and yawned. "You really think capturing me would solve anything?" Torchwick said gaining consciousness. The hunters glared at the villain. "No, but at least there will be one less criminal in this planet." Abe responded angrily. Roman just chuckled. "What's so funny?" Parnell asked, lifting a fist. "This isn't the first time I've been in jail, I have ways of escaping." Torchwick said, before a rather short girl appeared. Everyone was started at her entrance. "Hunters, Neo. Neo, Hunter." Torchwick introduced her to the Hunters. Parnell tried to grab the girl known as Neo, but she as well as Roman and the two White Fang members shattered.
"The fuck?!" Hank yelled seeing that they escaped to another plane. Roman smiled and the Neo girl flipped them and the plane went to a completely different direction. "I hate her already." Caira mumbled.
Yeah, me too Caira. *hides a picture of Neo* Anyway, I'm sorry if I'm rushing through all of this. I'm under a bit of stress right now and I type quite fast when I am or, when I got the whole thing in my head. Yes this will now be canon to the series, but let me ask you something. What is your favorite RWBY episode? My personal favorite is Search and Destroy. Yes Neo did just appeared in the ship, and here's how. When the Behemoth grabbed the ship, Neo quickly along the tongue and landed on top of the ship and from there, sense in the official wiki she can make illusions out of glass, she did just that. Tell me which episode you want me to start the canon story in the review, and I'll see you guys in three weeks and four days. *going to a cruise to Europe. Italian pizza here I come!*
