Drakiden Ruby
I am terrible sorry the rubbish that the last chapter was and to properly apologize did I put lots and lots of Effort and thinking in that chapter.
Seriously that one was a ton of work.
Xio Long household
"Where is Dad?" asked Ruby, while she enjoyed the delicious meal her sister had made for her. Raw rabbit flesh with bones and brain. Yummy!
"Don´t know." answered Yang while eating some strange red paste cheerfully. She swallowed one bite, her eyes turned red for a moment, and she groaned happy. Ruby gave the substance a wary look, well remembering the one time she had ate something of Yang´s food. It was easily in the top five worst experiences she had in her entire life! It had felt like her whole body was on fire and, even with the help of her Aura and Drakid regeneration, it had took over one month for her to taste anything in her mouth again. This stuff could be used for warfare. Honestly, she could fill some of Yangs "food" in some bullets and use them to take Grimm out.
"What do you mean, you do not know? Didn´t he tell you?" asked Ruby.
"He sent me a message that he is meeting some very important people. That is all." answered Yang.
"Some very important people? Who could that be?" wondered the young Drakid.
"No idea. Ruby, could you please eat without showering yourself in blood and guts?" asked Yang. "It is always so troublesome to wash it of you."
"Yang I don´t complain about your and how you eat it and you don´t complain about my eating preferences! I thought that we agreed on that. And it´s not my fault that I can´t reach my back!"
said Ruby, while continuously stuffing more of the bloody mush in her mouth.
Yang smiled. She expected Ruby´s refusal, but she knew her sisters biggest weakness and was prepared to fully exploit it. She put one of her hands in her pocket and took a particular Item out of it. She saw how Ruby suddenly stopped any activity, and with horrified look watched how Yang brought the object directly in front of her face.
"Well, I think that I have to eat this delicious, little strawberry myself then. Too bad." said Yang and moved the strawberry extremely slow to her mouth knowing, that Ruby´s dislike for water was far smaller then her love for strawberries. She was just about to take a bite when Ruby screamed defiantly and pounced her.
In exactly that moment opened the door and a gray haired man, Taiyang, Qrow and an unknown blond woman came in and saw how Ruby, who was covered in blood, laid on Yang with her claws around the throat of said individual.
Some time earlier. The Patch Club.
Taiyang ordered his fourth drink already, before they, after two hours of waiting, finally came.
Three figures, each one concealing their form sat down beside him.
"Took you long enough!" said Taiyang grumpily, knowing exactly who they were.
"Well, we had some bad luck on the way here, but we are here. You requested my presence after all." answered the middle of them.
"Yes I did, but we shouldn´t speak here about it. Come!"
"What is the reason for that behavior?" asked Ozpin. Taiyang had, after meeting them in the tavern, not spoken a single word to them and had brought them into one of the backrooms of the pub.
"My daughter Ruby Rose." answered Taiyang. He inhaled deeply before taking a picture out of his pocket and showing it to them. Their reactions did not disappoint, considering that the photo was taken by him yesterday.
"Is this some kind of Joke or…..." began Glynda but was interrupted by Qrow, who said: "No that is no joke, this is how my niece looks like over two years now."
"That is impossible!" spoke Ozpin."Anyone who was turned into one of them went insane after two weeks!"
"What do you mean Ozpin, can they, can they really infect people?" asked Glynda.
Ozpin groaned and gestured his fellow huntsman to sat down. "Yes they can, but only under very special conditions. You should better sat down because, if I have to explain this, I have to explain how the Drakid came to exist and that is a long story. The Drakid are the descendants of the Dragons, big, fire spitting reptiles, who were able to fly. But that isn´t nearly enough to describe them. In contrast to their descendants, the dragons were a peaceful species. They lived in a big city. Just like us. They also fought against the Grimm. Just like us. They absented themselves usually by crowds, but if a man once made it through the wilderness to them they were friendly and welcoming. Evil tried to wipe these wonderful creatures out. But it did not succeed. They were predators and fighting was practically in their blood. No matter how numerous the Grimm were, the Dragons showed again and again, what they were capable of. They fought the creatures with claws, fire and magic and proved to be an obstacle that darkness could not crush. But then changed the evil it´s tactics. The Dragons died almost 300 years ago out.
Once again sent the darkness all it´s wrath at the city of the dragons. The ground was black with Grimm, Nevermore and Griffin darkened the sky. Each Dragon who could fight wAS engaged in the defense of the city. The children and babies of the Dragon, the old, sick, infirm, those who were no longer able to fight, they all were left behind along with some people, which were at that time in the city. They thought they would be safe there, but evil found a way to them. In the form of a grimm, which looked like a woman. The Dragons tried to fight her, but she was different than all the other Grimm. She killed every Dragon, who younger then ten. Then she drove the young dragons and the people together. No one knows how she did it but she had somehow managed to merge the humans and dragons. The Drakiden were what came out of this merger. Some of them were crazy and broken. It were the weak. They began to immediately attack the other parts of the city, who were spared by the Grimm women. Using their hearing, that was able to perceive even the heartbeat of a living being and a superior sense of smell, they were found even the last hideout and slaughtered all. At this point, the victorious Warriors of the Dragons came back and found this terrible massacre. They attacked instantly, only to find out that their flames did not burn their skin, that their claws and teeth could not penetrate their scales. They killed every single one of them, by the breaking of bones, necks and by melting their eyes, nose and ear canals through concentrated fire. Then they noticed three things: firstly, that it were their own children and wards, which they had killed, second, that were a significant portion of their young neither under the creatures nor with the slaughtered thirdly, the seven, nicest, purest and most innocent Dragon children were still there. They also were hybrids, like the others, but they were still there. They had not changed, they were still the lively figures from before the disaster. The Dragon began to rebuild their society and tried their best to handle the hybrids normally, but that didn't work. The most innocent of all dragons, which first of all liked, were excluded from all, sometimes even from their own families. These hybrids began to change, they backed off and isolated themselves. A month later, a large group of people came again and the Dragons accepted them again, even though she had experienced so much suffering. And a short time after they had taken up the people, they´re "guests" transformed in the hybrids and attacked the Dragon. These hybrids were bigger, stronger, faster and were smart unlike the beasts against which they had fought so far, thinking tactically and were able to use aura. The dragons were so angry alone by the sight of their previous children and loved ones that they themselves attacked the Drakid without plan and order and realized too late that they were different. Almost simultaneously, the outer areas of the city were attacked and overran by Grimm, they overwhelmed the defenders with their pure mass. And what really put the death knell on the dragons were the Alphas. When the battle began, the seven Drakid, who lagged behind, began to change. They were bigger, faster, stronger and became evil. The other Drakid were no were near as powerful, as brutal, as deadly like them. These Drakiden were descendants of the largest and strongest Dragon families, those families who still fought and if only to buy the survivors more time. The other Drakiden had lost all memory of their previous lives, but those seven knew what they did, and who they were. They recalled how her family and friends had turned off by them and therefore slaughtered those who had betrayed them in the most terrible ways imaginable. Those who once were their families tried to fight back with everything they had, but it was pointless. The hatred these Alphas had, surpassed everything what Remnant had seen until this moment. These seven had another advantage: semblance, they were superior to even the strongest Dragon. The few dragons that did make it out of town, were chased by them and brought to the track. After the dragons were eliminated, the woman gave her monsters a new target. The kingdoms of men and Faunus. Dozens kingdoms existed before the great war. There was tension and the Faunus suffered discrimination, but people lived their lives and were happy. Until villages suddenly began to disappear. They initially suspected that Grimm were responsible, until survivors from arrived from this villages and reported, that people with the brand name and uniforms of a different Empire had done these atrocities. War broke faster out then you could imagine, simple discrimination against the Faunus turned into slavery as the Kingdoms stripped all their rights away. Kingdom after Kingdom went down and those who remained turned into tyrannies. Hunters killed each other instead of helping the people and the Drakid raged without that someone showed them serious resistance. It was a bad time and the power of the remaining kingdoms was not sufficient to achieve a victory against the Drakid, they were to weakened when they finally saw who was in reality responsible. The victory did not come through the power of the armies, no, victory came through four simple souls, who found each other by chance and finally brought hope and victory. These four simple souls were Jake Arc, Eis Schnee and Hawk Branwen along with her brother Falcon Branwen. These four are better known as the founders of the Legendary Three Families, the Schnee who, with their summonings, would be able to fight the Drakid and help their comrades with their glyphs, the Branwen who had similar senses with their transformations as the Drakid and would track them down. And finally, the Arc family, who, despite their inconspicuous appearance and naivete, always surpassed all expectation, came out with their enormous Aura reserves as shields for their friends and would always develop into outstanding heroes and leaders. However, these four young people came to a village. In the same village there was an old man, who at that time was attracted to the curious adventurer by chance. The first impression these four made was by no means a good one. Jake Arc tried to flirt with Eis Schnee and Hawk Branwen alternately, called Falcon to several competitions and lost miserably. Falcon drank either all the time or argued with Eis in a way one did not know if they were about to rip their throats out or clothes off, while Hawk simply polished her sword and watched the others. They were a really strange group, which was the reason why no one took them seriously, as they said that they were Drakid hunters. Something what changed rapidly when the villages was attacked by these creatures, only to be beaten back.
The shield semblance of Jake protected the team, while Eis supported the two front fighters with glyphes and Summonings, Hawk and Falcon, who had turned into an intermediate form of bird and human. It was the perfect anti-Drakid formation. What was even more fascinating was that the hunters' weapons were able to penetrate the scales of their foes. These four had by chance found out that the claws of the Drakid themselves could overcome their almost insuperable defense. With the exception of Jake, they wore weapons made of Drakid body parts and killed the dreaded monsters. This, along with their perfectly complementary skills, made it possible for them to win. This old man, who had watched them during their battle with Drakid, told them, that they could save this world if they helped him. He trained them and, without their knowledge, enchanted them that all of their descendants would have the same abilities as they had. They moved on, fought Drakid and founded families, who were once again drawn up in similar teams, like their parents, to kill Drakid. But despite all these successes against the Drakid, they were not able to kill any of the Alphas. Therefore, the old man, the old wizard, came again and enchanted the genes of the three families to create a warrior, who could beat these monsters. In each of the three families, such a warrior could be born, and finally, it happened. This warrior, who came out of the Family Schnee, succeeded in defeating one of the Alphas, even if she succumbed shortly afterward to her injuries. This warrior had a special feature, she had silver eyes. With time more and more of the Alphas were beaten and the Drakid withdrew from the war. Unfortunately possessed the silver eyes two devastating weaknesses. They do not destroy, but merely freeze and it seems that the Alphas have somehow managed to escape." said Ozpin.
"But how?! The silver Eyes are strong enough to destroy dozens of Goliaths at once, I´ve seen it myself! And what is the second weakness?" asked Taiyang.
"Taiyang, a couple of goliaths are in a complete different world than a Drakid-Alpha. And the second weakness is something that spreads through all of the three families. Their abilities were once simple semblances, but the old man used also Dragon genes and implanted them into the ancestors. The only differences were that he used no curse to make them evil, that he just used small samples and that the Branwen Faunus were. Every member of the families can be turned into a Drakid. If someone with silver eyes would be turned into a Drakid, that person would most likely become an Alpha-Drakid." answered Ozpin.
"But we have talked enough now, if Ruby Rose, your daughter, has indeed not succumbed to the curse could that be something that just might give us the edge we need to survive, when the Drakid will again savage this world!"
And? Was it any good? Review
