So, without further ado.
I own nothing.
'I'm going to die.' Were the panicked thoughts of Weiss Schnee as she stared fearfully at the ever-approaching ground
Looking to her side Weiss saw the person responsible for her current predicament, and now the person she hates the most in the world.
Naruto Branwen.
He didn't even look panicked! He even had the gall to be in a lying position spinning in the air as if they weren't about to become a stain on the ground.
"Come on Weiss, you know what you have to do just summon something and we won't go splat!" Naruto said over the rush of the wind
Weiss couldn't help but glare at him, as she remembered how she got into this mess.
*Earlier*
Naruto made sure to stay a good dozen feet away from his mother and sister, as they and Ruby fawned over Krystal, who was enjoying all the attention.
"So, that's your mother." Weiss remarked from her spot next to Winter as she practiced her summoning
Weiss had been surprised at the appearance of Yang and, her and Naruto's mother. She was further surprised when she saw how young she looked, if Weiss hadn't known better she'd have thought Raven was Naruto and Yang's sister.
"Yeah, that's our mom Raven Branwen, word of advice, don't piss her off." Said Naruto, Weiss nodding slowly as she couldn't the chill she got when she looked at Raven
She didn't know what but that woman was dangerous.
"Weiss focus." Said Winter getting Weiss's attention as she turned back to her task
Pointing Myrtenaster at the ground Weiss created a summoning glyph and tried focusing.
"Excellent form! Now think to your fallen foes! The ones who forced you to push past where you were, and become who you are now. Think of them, and watch as they come to your side." Winter instructed, Weiss grimacing as the glyph began flickering out of existence but eventually dismisses it when nothing appeared
"I can't!" Shouted Weiss stomping on the ground
"Stop doubting yourself!" Winter reprimanded slapping Weiss on the head
"I'm trying!" Retorted Weiss
"Mommy, daddy! Look, look!" Said Krystal running up to her parents holding something
"What is it sweetheart?" Asked Winter
Krystal grinned proudly as she presented a tiny Beowolf in her hands that was moving its head around curiously.
"Look at what I made." Said Krystal, as they looked at the Beowolf surprised before Winter smiled
"Very good Krystal, it's bigger than last time. You'll be doing bigger summoning's before you know it." Winter congratulated, surprising Weiss further while Krystal ran back to her grandmother and aunts
Winter looked to Weiss gaining a mock innocent expression.
"What did I forget to mention that Krystal's started summoning, must've slipped my mind." Said Winter innocently
Weiss couldn't believe it, her three-year-old managed to do something Weiss herself has been trying for years to do. It's just not fair!
Suddenly Weiss went ramrod straight remembering something.
"Naruto!" Weiss said, getting his attention while confusing Winter
"Yeah." Said Naruto
"You said that your Semblance was being able to create energy constructs, right?" Questioned Weiss
"Yeah, why?" Naruto asked
"Do you think you'd be able to help me with summoning?" Weiss asked thinking it would help to have someone else assist her
Naruto thought about it, he wasn't sure he'd be able to help, as while their Semblances are similar they're still different. Looking at Winter she nodded a little, interested to see if he could help.
"Sure, I could help you. Though I should tell you my methods are… extreme." Said Naruto
"I'll try anything." Said Weiss confidently it won't be too hard
Naruto smirked as he looked up in the sky much to their confusion.
"What're you doing?" Asked Winter
"Seeing how high we'll have to go." Naruto replied, Weiss suddenly having a bad feeling
"How high, how high for what?" Weiss asked nervously
Which only increased as Naruto opened a portal on the ground.
"How high we'll have to fall." Said Naruto
Before Weiss could protest he pulled her into the portal as they both fell through. Instantly Weiss felt the wind blowing against her, looking around Weiss instantly screamed seeing she was thousands of feet in the air, she immediately grabbed onto Naruto for safety…
… Or she would have if he hadn't pushed away from her.
"What the hell is this!?" Shouted Weiss
"I told you my methods were extreme! Now you have two choices either summon something to save us, or we become a red stain on the ground!" Naruto replied crossing his arms
"You're insane!" Weiss yelled, Naruto laughing in response
"Thank you! But flattery won't help you here!" Said Naruto
So, Weiss and Naruto plummeted to the ground, Weiss repeatedly trying to summon something while Naruto began doing various tricks. With each failed attempt Weiss grew more and more desperate, before looking to Naruto with pleading eyes.
"Naruto, please just put us back on the ground! I can't summon anything, please just make it stop!" Pleaded Weiss, Naruto instantly glared at her
"Enough Weiss! You asked for my help and this is it! You have two choices summon something and live or die! Which is it Weiss, do you want live!?" Demanded Naruto
"Y-yes!" Weiss stuttered
"I can't hear you! Do you want to live?!" Naruto shouted
"Yes!" Said Weiss louder
"Say it louder!" Ordered Naruto
"I want to live!" Weiss shouted
"Then do it!" Said Naruto
Weiss looked down at the approaching ground closing her eyes.
'I want to live, I want to live, I want to live!' Weiss thought repeatedly
"Weiss open your eyes." Said Naruto
Weiss hesitantly opened her eyes before they flew open seeing she and Naruto were being held by a giant blue and white knight. The knight placed them on the ground kneeling before Weiss.
"Well done Weiss you managed to summon." Naruto said smiling at her, which she hesitantly returned still shaky from her near-death experience
Though the moment ended when Winter stormed up to Naruto slapping him hard across the face.
"What the hell were you thinking pulling that stunt!? You could've gotten Weiss and yourself killed!" Shouted Winter glaring at Naruto
"Okay first ow, second, I had everything under control if Weiss hadn't managed to summon anything I would have gotten us down safely, at the last minute. Besides it worked didn't it." Said Naruto motioning to knight
"What kind of lunatic thinks falling thousands of feet from air is a good method of training?!" Winter demanded
"Who do you think taught me." Naruto remarked dryly pointing to his mother, who shrugged at the attention directed at her as she focused on her adorable granddaughter
'Suddenly really glad Naruto was taken instead.' Thought Yang
While she's confident she could survive a fall that high up, surviving it as a kid before unlocking her Semblance not so much.
"Well at least I know where your apparent insanity comes from." Winter said snarkily, Naruto scoffing
"Oh, please like your training was any better, at least mine has results." Retorted Naruto
"You haven't changed at all, you're still the same reckless idiot you were three years ago." Winter said
"And you're still a stuck-up Ice Queen." Naruto threw back
"You mean sane, I'm sane." Corrected Winter, Naruto smirking
"Five hours, locked in a room, position 26." Naruto said smugly, Winter turning bright red
"You said you'd never speak of that!" Hissed Winter
"I said no such thing. But ooohh, I had never figured you for a screamer, I think you woke all of Mis-" Naruto was cut off when bright red Winter cover his mouth
Weiss listened in muted horror, thankful for Winter stopping Naruto, she had no interest in hearing about her sister's sex life.
"Mommy what's position 26?" Asked Krystal curiously, Winter turning even redder
"I'll tell you when you're older sweetie." Winter squeaked in response
"So, Yang how do you think dad's going to react?" asked Ruby looking at Yang
Yang thought about it.
*Signal Academy*
"Now remember, when you decide on what weapons you use, make sure it's one you feel comfortable and familiar with, not one that's "cool" or because it don't think it's the most attention grabbing." Taiyang lecture his class when his Scroll rang
"Huh, hang on a moment." Tai said grabbing his Scroll
"Qrow what is it, I'm in the middle of class… no, no wait slow down what happened at Beacon?" Asked Tai
The class looked curiously as their teacher's eyes widened dramatically and his jaw fell open
*Beacon-Headmaster-s office*
Ozpin looked over the competitors that were moving on to the doubles round when suddenly…
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!"
Ozpin's head shot up when he heard the shout as he looked around, before landing on his coffee mug.
'Maybe I should switch to decaf.' Thought Ozpin
*With Yang and Ruby*
Both girls looked up surprised when they heard the shout, before shrugging it off.
"I'm sure he'll take it well all things considered." Replied Yang
*Later*
"I don't wanna go daddy!" Krystal cried her arms wrapped tightly around Naruto's neck
Naruto sighed sadly rubbing his daughters back, Winter had revealed that they had to get back to Atlas and Krystal didn't want to leave after meeting her daddy. They were both in Krystal's room on Winter's airship, Naruto comforting her.
"Krystal, it's alright I'm sure your mommy will let you come and visit whenever you want." Said Naruto
"I don't wanna visit, I wanna stay with you!" Said Krystal between sobs
Naruto knelt down setting Krystal on the floor as she rubbed her eyes of tears.
"Krystal, I want to give you something." Naruto said, as Krystal looked at him through watery eyes
Naruto pulled out a necklace with a heart shaped locket with a W and K engraved on it.
"When your mother told me about you I started working on this and just finished it." Said Naruto handing the locket to Krystal
Taking the necklace with shaky hands Krystal fumbled a little before finally opening it, inside she saw a picture of her parents on one side and her on the other.
"As long as you have this with you, I'll be with you, always and forever." Naruto said putting the locket around her neck
Krystal instantly threw her arms around his neck which he gladly returned.
"Will you sing to me daddy?" Asked Krystal resting her head on his shoulder
"Sing." Naruto said a little surprised
"Mommy said you used to sing to her. Will you sing for me to?" Krystal said with wide hopeful eyes, Naruto smiling gently
"Sure sweetheart." Agreed Naruto thinking of what song to sing for her before thinking of the perfect
(Safe & Sound-Taylor Swift)
I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, "I'll never let you go."
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone,"
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Don't you dare look out your window, darling.
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby
Even when the music's gone
Gone
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
La, la (la, la)
La, la (la, la)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
La, la (la, la)
Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound...
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh
Naruto smiled when he heard Krystal breathing lightly showing she fell asleep, carefully Naruto place Krystal in her bed pulling the cover, when Naruto prepared to leave the room he felt Krystal grab his hand.
"Love you daddy." Mumbled Krystal sleepily, Naruto smiling as leaned down kissing her forehead
"Love you to Krystal." Naruto whispered
Naruto exited the room closely door quietly behind him.
"I remember that song." Said Winter from behind him getting Naruto's attention as he looked at her
"You said your mother used to sing that to you when you were little." Winter said with a small smile
"Yeah she did." Said Naruto smiling fondly at the memories
Winter stood still for a moment simply staring at Naruto, before she shrugged and leaned in kissing his cheek surprising him.
"Uh, what was that for?" Asked Naruto
"For being you. Also, Krystal's been watching the Vytal Festival and cheering for her Aunt Weiss's team, now that her fathers on the same team she'll be cheering even louder so don't disappoint." Winter said
"Wouldn't dream of it." Said Naruto
With nothing else to say Naruto exited the airship glancing back at Winter before heading out.
He saw Weiss standing in the courtyard staring at her Scroll.
"Something the matter?" Asked Naruto, as she quickly put her Scroll away
"Just a persistent caller. And shouldn't I be asking that, what with Winter and Krystal leaving so soon." Weiss said
"Uh, yeah, yeah I'm fine. We should probably go back to the Dorm, you and Yang have a match tomorrow." Said Naruto, Weiss nodding in agreement as they headed back to their dorm
*Next Day*
"So, you two ready?" Asked Naruto leaning against the wall as Yang cocked her gauntlets and Weiss loaded Myrtenaster's rotary chamber
"Of course, we are, this'll be a piece of cake." Yang said arrogantly yelping when Weiss slapped her head
"Don't get arrogant Yang." Weiss said
"What, I can't help it if we're awesome." Defended Yang
"Still don't underestimate your enemies, you never know what to expect so always keep your guard up. Good luck and try not to destroy the ring Yang." Naruto said heading to the stands
He soon arrived and took his seat next to Ruby and Blake. Yang and Weiss stood in the center of the ring waiting for their opponents to show up. Their opponents, Flynt Coal and Neon Katt of Team FNKI, soon entered the ring and the match was underway.
It was going well, aside from Yang's short fuse getting even shorter with all of Neon's taunts and puns, when Naruto saw something on the other side of the stands, something that shocked.
"Naruto, is something wrong?" Asked Blake seeing his expression and looked where he was but didn't see anything strange
"Uh, no, no, everything's fine. Um, I just remembered I need to do… something. I need to go." Said Naruto getting up and walking away much to his teammates confusion
As Naruto exited the stands his expression turned to rage as his sclerae turned black.
'What is she doing here? More importantly how is she still breathing.' Thought 'Naruto' his face twisted into anger
Making his way to the other side of the arena 'Naruto' looked around growling lowly when he saw she was gone. Looking around trying to find her, he saw her by an exit as she walked out of the arena.
Following quickly 'Naruto' arrived at the Docking Bay as he looked around, going to edge he looked at the ground narrowing his eyes when he saw a flash of white in Emerald Forest.
'Naruto' then appeared in the forest, teleporting down from the Colosseum, where he saw the woman. Following after her 'Naruto' gritted his teeth at the game of cat and mouse while unknown to him certain individuals were feeling his aura and the woman he was chasing.
*With Pyrrha*
Pyrrha winced when Weiss tackled Flynt into a pillar of lava putting Aura at zero, with Flynt barely hanging on, just then something happened.
"He's here"
Pyrrha stiffened and looked around confused.
'What was that? I thought I heard something.' Thought Pyrrha trying to find the source of the voice
"He's close, go to him."
Pyrrha frowned in confusion, and a little fear, at this voice.
"Jaune did you hear that?" Pyrrha asked looking at her partner
"Hear what?" Said Jaune
"He need's us, go to him."
"That right there, that voice." Said Pyrrha, Jaune giving her a confused look
"Uh, there's no voice Pyrrha. Are you feeling alright?" Asked Jaune
"We must save him."
Shaking her head Pyrrha gave Jaune a fake smile.
"Uh, yes I'm fine it must be th stress of the tournament." Pyrrha lied, Jaune nodding slowly
Once Jaune looked away Pyrrha's frown returned.
"We can't lose him again."
'Who's him?' Thought Pyrrha not sure she'd actually get an answer
"Naruto."
Pyrrha did a good a job hiding her shock, the voice responded, that's not normal.
'Who are you?' Pyrrha mentally asked gulping
"You."
*With Cinder*
Cinder sat up on her bed going through her Scroll with a smirk, looking at all the information she managed to pull from Ironwoods Scroll.
"Sister."
Cinder looked up eyes widening, before they quickly narrowed gaining an orange glow. Sitting up Cinder looked around.
"Come to me sister."
Spinning around Cinder summoned a fireball, frowning at not seeing anything.
"We need you Autumn."
This made Cinder stiffen, how did it know that, no one besides her underlings and mistress should know she has the Fall Maiden's power.
"Come to us Autumn, he is here."
Cinder's eyes widened a little at the mention of "He" remembering her mistress mentioning a "He" that was supposed to arrive at Beacon soon.
'What's happening.' Thought Cinder when she was further shocked as the fire in her hand went out even though she didn't will it
Creating another fireball only for it to go out again.
'What's going on with my Maiden powers.' Cinder thought in panic and fear
If her mistress found out she could no longer use the Fall Maiden's powers… Cinder shivered at the thought
"You will help us sister, whether you want to or not."
*With 'Naruto'*
'Naruto' soon arrived in a forest clearing narrowing his eyes in anger at the woman standing across from him.
"Winter Maiden." 'Naruto' growled
"Hello Dark One." Greeted the woman
The woman was in her twenties, with bleach blonde hair that bordered one white done up in intricate knots, ice blue eyes that glowed with power, wearing a white and blue dress.
'Naruto' sneered at the Maiden, he can wager a guess why one would be here, aside from that pathetic girl who has the Fall Maiden's power.
"I take you're here, for my weakling brother." Spat 'Naruto' circling the woman
"He is close to awakening and it is my duty to protect and serve him." The Winter Maiden not the least bit scared
"Always the loyal lapdog, tell me where was the loyalty when one of your sister's power was being stolen, or when another was being slaughtered." 'Naruto' mocked, the woman clenched her fists
"And so likely the cycle of the seasons the Maiden's shall be born anew." Said the Winter Maiden, 'Naruto' scoffing
"You still foolishly follow that silly nursery rhyme, how pathetic. Now tell me what's stopping me from killing you right here and now?" Said 'Naruto
"We both know in this form you don't have access to your full power, you cannot bet me." The Winter Maiden said
'Naruto' smirked raising his fingers to his mouth whistling sharply. The affect was instant as several Grimm appeared from the woods snarling and growling at the Winter Maiden.
"I don't have to fight you, I just have sit back and watch my Grimm rip you to shreds." Said 'Naruto' as he walked in front of the Maiden
"Allow me to make one thing perfectly clear, I don't care about, your sisters, or my brother, you can all live in your happy little fantasy world where everything is good and happy. Me, the only thing I care about is getting my Selene, and I already found her. So, listen and listen well, if anything, and I mean anything happens to her, there will be war." 'Naruto' said
"You would wage war, for one woman." Said the Winter Maiden
"I'd gladly burn this world to ash for her." Growled 'Naruto' before calling off the Grimm and walking away
"Do yourself the favor and stay out of my, otherwise I won't hesitate to kill you like I have your predecessors." 'Naruto' stated
*Later-Headmaster's Office*
Pyrrha sat nervously in the Headmaster's office, having been called in by Ozpin after the doubles round.
"Well, it comes as no surprise that they've chosen you to move on to the final round of the tournament. Your performance was exemplary." Ozpin remarked turning away from the window
"Thank you, Professor Ozpin, but I would have never made it this far without my teammates." Said Pyrrha humbly, while Qrow snorted
"Personally, I think it's the other way around." Qrow threw in, as Pyrrha stood up facing him
"I'm sorry, but I don't believe we've been introduced." Pyrrha said
"Name's Qrow." Introduced Qrow shortly
"Qrow is a trusted colleague of mine." Ozpin said
"Professor, if you don't mind me asking, why have you called me here?" Questioned Pyrrha unsure why she's hear
"Please, take a seat. What is your favorite fairy tale?" Ozpin asked leaning back
"I'm... sorry?" Said Pyrrha confused at the question
"Fairy tales, stories from your childhood. Surely you must remember some of them." Replied Ozpin, as Pyrrha looked up in nostalgia
"Well, there's The Tale of The Two Brothers, The Shallow Sea, The Girl in the Tower, The Fallen Angel..." Pyrrha listed Ozpin frowning at the last one
"I'm sorry, but I don't believe I'm familiar with "The Fallen Angel" what is it if you don't mind me asking?" Said Ozpin in curiosity
He's been around for a long time and has never heard of a story called "The Fallen Angel".
"It's actually not much of a story more of a poem, it goes like this:
There are many things in this world, both light and dark
Like the seasons of spring, summer, fall and winter they two have a darkness
For spring, there is happiness at new life but at the same time hunger for more before the year ends
For summer, the happiness of friendship but also the pain of destruction of all the new life that must be took before winter
For fall, the changing of the seasons and the beauty of life but also the madness of time passing by
For winter, the season of love and happiness there is also despair at the loss of family
All things have light and darkness in their heart be them mortal or gods
The God of Light his love for us mortal is his light blessing us with life but his darkness is his love for his brother
For the God of Darkness his darkness is his pain and sadness but like everything he HAD a light a woman named Selene a young woman who did not see him as a monster but a Fallen Angel
They were happy for he was her mortal sin and she his fatal flaw
Even time can't keep them apart for both she'll be reborn countless time reliving their happiness for all time." Pyrrha recited, surprising Qrow and Ozpin at the poem
"My Great Aunt told me that as a little girl, it was always my favorite." Said Pyrrha
"That is… quite the story Miss Nikos. But what about The Story of the Season? Have you heard that one?" Asked Ozpin
"Well, of course! A callous old man, who refuses to leave his home, is visited by four traveling sisters. The first understands his reclusive nature and urges him to use his time in solitude to reflect and meditate. The second brings him fruits and flowers, tending to his crops and revitalizing his garden. The third warms the man's heart, convincing him to step outside and embrace the world around him. And the fourth and final sister begs him to look at all that he has, and be thankful. In return for their kindness, the man grants the maidens incredible powers, so that they may continue to help others all over the world. They graciously accept, and promise to share their gifts with the people of Remnant 'til the end of days. Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall; the four maidens. My mother loves that story." Said Pyrrha
"Would you believe me if I told you that one's been around since I was a boy?" Ozpin asked
"You're not that old, Professor." Replied Pyrrha laughing a little
"Well, would you believe me if I told you it was true?" Said Ozpin turning deadly serious, Pyrrha instantly going quiet
"I beg your pardon?" Pyrrha asked uneasily
"What if I told you that there were four maidens existing in this world, that could wield such tremendous power, without Dust?" Continued Ozpin
"You mean... like a Semblance?" Said Pyrrha trying to make sense of what she's hearing
"Like magic." Ozpin responded with a small smile
"I…" Said Pyrrha unsure how to respond though something in the back of her mind was telling her to just leave the office now
"Yeah. First time hearing this, it's pretty crazy." Qrow remarked
"You're serious?" Pyrrha said looking between them amazed
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Ozpin said straight-faced
"... No. Why... why are you telling me this?" Asked Pyrrha while feeling her head starting to hurt
"We are telling you this, Pyrrha Nikos, because we believe you are next in line to receive the Fall Maiden's powers." Ozpin revealed
"We?" Pyrrha said her eyes widening, as the elevator doors opened revealing Goodwitch and Ironwood
"Sorry we're late." Apologized Ironwood
"Wait, what is this? Who are you?" Pyrrha asked narrowing her eyes that unknown to her briefly flashed blue
"You know who we are. We're still the same teachers and Headmasters you met when you arrived at Beacon." Reassured Goodwitch
"But we've got a little part-time job." Qrow added
"We are the protectors of the world." Said Ironwood
"And we need your help." Ozpin finished
Pyrrha looked around as all eyes were on her.
*Later*
Pyrrha stood in the elevator along with the four "protectors" unsure where they were going.
"Where are we going?" Asked Pyrrha
"The vault. Under the school." Ozpin answered
"I'm sure you must have questions." Said Goodwitch, Pyrrha nodding hesitantly
"Maybe one, or two... I still don't understand. You said I was next in line to receive the Maiden's power. What do you mean by that?" Pyrrha questioned while trying to block out the increasingly loud voice telling her to walk away
"The Maidens have existed for thousands of years. But much like in nature, the seasons change. No two summers are alike. When a Maiden dies, her power leaves her body and seeks out a new host, ensuring that the seasons are never lost, and that no individual can hold on to that power forever." Said Goodwitch
"So, how does the power choose?" Wondered Pyrrha
"Through a series of stupid and convoluted rules." Qrow answered bluntly over his shoulder
"Qrow." Goodwitch said in warning
"At first, the only thing that was certain was that the powers were specifically passed on to young women. But as time went on, it was discovered that the selection process was much more... intimate." Goodwitch added
"... Intimate?" Said Pyrrha really starting to think the voice was on to something with leaving
"As we understand it now, when a Maiden dies, the one who is in her final thoughts is the first candidate to inherit her power." Goodwitch clarified
"Unless it's a dude or some old hag. Then the power goes to someone random, and our job gets a lot harder." Added Qrow
"Honestly, we've run out of time. I don't know if you've not noticed, but things are getting a lot scarier out in the world. Tensions are high. Grimm are growing stronger, more prevalent. And it's not going to be long before the peace we've been enjoying for so long goes out the window." Qrow said
"You're not... talking about a war?" Asked Pyrrha worriedly
"Not a war between nations." Ironwood said
"We can fill you on the details once we know that you're with us. For now, all you need to know is that one of the Maidens has been attacked. And for the first time in history, part of her power was stolen." Said Qrow
They soon arrived at the end of the large hallway where a machine with lit screens and two pods, looking in one Pyrrha silently gasped seeing a woman inside wearing minimal clothing and a scar over her left eye.
"Is that..." Pyrrha trailed off
"The current Fall Maiden, Amber." Answered Ozpin sighing heavily
"She's... still alive." Said Pyrrha holding her self
"For now. We're using state of the art Atlas technology to keep her stable. But there is a lot about this situation that is... unprecedented." Ironwood said
"What do you mean?" Asked Pyrrha, with Ironwood closing his eyes with a sigh
"Won't... her power... just transfer to the next host?" Pyrrha said
"Look who's been listening! She is smart." Qrow said whispering the last part to Ozpin
"Under normal circumstances, yes. But this is a delicate situation. It's not uncommon for the last thoughts of the slain to be of their attacker. And to make matters worse, no one's seen the power split like this before. For all we know, it will seek out its other half." Explained Ironwood
"... Her assailant." Pyrrha said putting the pieces together
"And that would not bode well for any of us." Said Ozpin
Lowering her head in thought Pyrrha walked up to the pod placing a hand on the glass before rounding on the adults.
"If all of this is true, why keep it secret!? If this girl is so important... if we're truly on the brink of war, why not tell everyone?" Pyrrha demanded
"From what we understand, it used to be common knowledge." Said Goodwitch
"Excuse me?" Pyrrha said
"How do you think legends and fairy tales get started? Even the craziest ones come from somewhere." Remarked Qrow taking a swig of his flask
"Our group was founded in order to protect both mankind and the Maidens. Those hungry for power hunted them with the hope of inheriting their strength." Goodwitch added
"And as you can imagine, the ones that succeeded weren't exactly the ones you'd want to have unimaginable power." Said Qrow
"And so our brotherhood chose to remove the Maidens from the public eye, allowing their existence to fade away into legend." Ironwood said
"The things we're telling you go against hundreds of years of human history and religion." Continued Goodwitch
"No one would want to believe us. It would cause an uproar." Ironwood added
"It would cause panic. And we all know what that would bring to clawing at our Kingdom's walls. Which is why we would like to..." Said Ozpin looking away
"No." Pyrrha said
The four instantly looked to Pyrrha but were surprised to see rather than emerald green eyes they were now sapphire blue glaring at them.
"Miss Nikos-"
"No, I won't do it. I will never become a Maiden, I won't betray him in such a way!" Said 'Pyrrha' clenching her fists cutting Ozpin off
"Okay kid maybe you should calm-" Qrow was cut off when 'Pyrrha' turned to glare at him
"My decision will never change, find someone else because I will never be part of this." 'Pyrrha' said preparing to leave when Ozpin placed a hand on her shoulder
"Miss Nikos if you would just…" Ozpin began, when 'Pyrrha' turned to him and her eyes widened
"No, not you. You shouldn't be here, you should be dead!" Shouted Pyrrha knocking Ozpin's hand away
'Oh no.' Thought Ozpin realizing the mistake he just made
"Leave me alone! All of you just stay away from me! Where is he, where is he?!" 'Pyrrha' shouted in panic, as the ground began shaking while Ironwood's Scroll rang
"For the love of- What is it?!" Demanded Ironwood his eyes widening at what the soldier said
"Ozpin, a large group of Grimm is heading to Beacon now! What the hell is going on?!" Ironwood said, Ozpin having an expression of shock and slight fear
"We must calm Miss Nikos down now! If we don't something bad will happen, something worse than any Grimm!" Said Ozpin when 'Pyrrha' shouted something that turned his blood to ice
"KUROGAMI!"
*With Naruto*
Naruto looked over Shadow Ash, planning to use the gauntlets instead of Black Bird for the singles round, when heard something.
"KUROGAMI!"
Naruto's head snapped up his eyes black and red.
'Selene.' 'Naruto' thought spreading out his senses to find her
He soon found her under Beacon along with five other people, one of them being incredibly weak, though he soon became enraged when he recognized the weak signature as the near dead Fall Maiden, and him,
'He dares try and take her from me again!' Thought Naruto punching through the wall
Lowering his head 'Naruto' breathed deeply before his head snapped and opened his mouth unleashing a horrifying roar.
"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
All over the Kingdom of Vale Grimm turned towards the direction of Beacon throwing their heads back unleashing roars of rage, as they all began running towards Beacon, while four beings throughout Remnant looked up with a single thought running through their minds.
'It's almost time.'
*With Pyrrha*
"Oz!" Said Qrow after the roar sounded
"I know!" Ozpin replied making his way over to 'Pyrrha'
"Miss Nikos, we need you to calm down, if you don't he will kill everyone here and won't stop until everything is dead, do you want that to happen!?" Said Ozpin trying to get through to her
'Pyrrha's' head snapped a look of despair on her face.
"N-no, he's not a monster, I know he's not, he won't hurt anyone." 'Pyrrha' said gripping her head as the shaking began to lessen
"He wouldn't hurt anyone, I've seen it, he's kind, he's not a monster." Said Pyrrha her voice slowly returning to normal as she groaned standing up
"Miss Nikos, is that you?" Ozpin questioned slowly while maintaining his distance
"Y-yes Professor I'm fine. Um, I think I should go, I just, I just need to think." Said Pyrrha unsure and fearful of what just happened
"You have an important decision before you, Miss Nikos. There's no guarantee this transfer will work. And there's no telling if you will be the same person if it does. I advise you to take time on this matter. But understand that before the Vytal Festival is over, we will need your answer." Ozpin said acting as if nothing happened
Pyrrha nodded slowly making her way back to the elevator wanting to get as far away from all this possible. Once Pyrrha was gone Ironwood and Goodwitch turned to Qrow and Ozpin.
"What. The hell. Was that Ozpin?" Ironwood demanded
Ozpin sighed knowing he has a lot of explaining to do.
So, what did you all think, was good, did any of you tear during Naruto and Krystal's moment, what about the little poem, along with Pyrrha's little reveal. All will be explained, unless you already figured it out, in the coming chapters. Also be prepared for next chapter, as next time you'll see that Naruto is not someone to be crossed. Now then I believe most of you have been for the next Chibi segment so here it is.
Omake: Taken To Far
"They said I couldn't, they said it would never happen." Muttered Naruto pacing back and forth rubbing his hands together a deranged look in his eyes occasionally releasing a few chuckles
"They said I could never conquer Remnant, well guess what I'm the one laughing now!" Naruto shouted donning a crown and cape, wielding a scepter, and standing on a throne held by Beowolves
Naruto laughed maniacally as he stood over his army of Grimm as they conquered Remnant.
"Look at me now suckers! You said I could never do it! Well now, ALL HAIL KING NARUTO!" Shouted Naruto breaking into fits of maniacally laughter
Sitting in the corner huddled together were Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang, with the former three glaring at the latter.
"You just had to mock him didn't. You had to say he'd never win. Bravo Yang, bravo." Said Weiss sarcastically, Yang chuckling nervously scratching the back of her head
"Come on how was I supposed to know he'd take it literally. I mean it was just a game." Yang said, Naruto instantly rounding on them with a crazy look
"This is no game! THIS! IS! SPARTA!" Shouted Naruto
"Yeah, go daddy!" Krystal said from atop a Grimm dragon dressed as a princess cheering for her daddy
"He's definitely taking it to far." Muttered Raven with a deadpanned expression
Alright hope you enjoyed that. Review if you liked, go away if you didn't.
Storm out.
