AN: WARNING! RANT IN 'AN' AT THE END!

I found a nice cozy tree to sleep on… somehow the damn branches were semi-comfortable, don't ask me how, I have no fucking clue why hard wood was this comfortable… nohomo. Jokes aside it was a rather peaceful night. Right before I found a place to rest I scouted the area, I was probably a few hours away from the trade city that got attacked a while back. I was thinking of spending a day or two completely rummaging through the town. And if I saw Torchwick or someone associated with him to kick the ever living hell out of them.
I woke up to the song of birds and the tree slightly creaking under me. "even after all the shit I'm still a heavy fuck…", just as I finished my thought the branch under me broke and I plummeted down to the ground hitting at least 5-6 more branches on the way down and slamming face first into the ground.
"Ughhhhh", a low growl like noise come from me.
Getting up and readjusting my bones to not be in the middle of my body, I looked around. I was still wondering how at least 1 or 2 Grimm hadn't attacked me while I was sleeping. "Well they can sence fear, and anger, the latter of which I have plenty of. But I can't use my aura while in this form so maybe that's connected?", I thought and started to walk towards the abandoned city.
It took me about an hour or so to small hill near the northern part of the town. I wasn't high enough to see the shoreline with the docks on the other side of the city unfortunately. What I could see on the other hand were Grimm, or rather the small amount of them that I could see.
There was a small pack of 7 or so Beowolves in front of a broken down gate that led into the city. Last time I was here I went through a breach in the wall towards the western side of town, but I hadn't seen any Grimm in the city it self for some odd reason, for a whole week no less.
"Well whatever was making them not go into the city is now gone.", I thought, "Well I do need to do my daily exercises", I grinned. I reared my head up and howled towards the morning sky.
The pack of Beowolves were immediately on alert and looked up at me. They too howled and charged at me and I at them. The difference between me and them was that I was a lot quicker and stronger.
When I got close enough I jumped on the closest one. I embedded my claws into the side of it's head and landed on top of it. I was about to try and rip it's head off when two of it's brethren pounced on me, pushing me back a bit but with not enough force to make me fall back. As they pushed my backwards I felt my claws go through the flesh of the one I had grabbed.
The two Grimm on top of me bit me in the shoulders. With a grunt I managed to grab them both by the throat and rip them off of me, throwing them to the side. My eyesight started going red. I pounces back onto the Beowolf I had grabbed before and without delay bit into it's unprotected throat. It thrashed a few times before coming to a stop and started to dissolve.
I turned my attention to the other 6 Grimm that were now circling me, and growling. As I was looking at the 3 in front of me, a Beowolf attacked me from behind. As it landed its claw on my back I turned around and grabbed it be the hand. Then I swung it around and threw it at the 3 I was looking at earlier.
He crashed into one of them as the other two managed to dodge to the side. I took one by surprise and tackled it to the ground, once more biting into it's throat. After it died I turned and saw two Beowolves jump at me.
I instinctively attacked with my right claw. I was able to hit the one on the right with enough force not only to nick it's left eye out but to also push it into it's friend causing them to go past me in a heap.
4 of 5 Grimm were on the ground trying to get up, so I rushed the one that was up. Instead of jumping I went under it and pushed it upwards so that I can bite into it's throat. This time though the Grimm managed to smack me across the face hitting my eye, which hurt A LOT.
Usually when my vision was purely red the majority of the pain was dulled, but I guess that rule wasn't the same for the eye as I howled in pain letting go of the Beowolf.
In a fit of pure rage and with one functioning eye I kicked the damned Grimm in the face with such force that I could hear it's neck snap.
Unfortunately another Grimm jumped on me… unfortunately for it of course as I grabbed it from my back slammed it into the ground in front of me and proceeded to tear it to shreds with my claws.
With only 3 Beowolves left, me with my one functioning eye and another trying to regenerate I howled once again and jumped onto the Grimm.
The fight was a massive blur of claws, teeth and blood thrashing all over the place. As I managed to kill 2 of the Grimm off I grabbed the last one by the jaw with one hand and with the other I grabbed it's snout and started to forcefully open it's mouth.
I think it was able to realize what I was trying to do as it started trying to pry my hands off, whist kicking my with it's feet. It wasn't able to make me stop and finally with a loud SNAP, I broke it's jaw off and it fell limp to the ground.
As I stood there staring at the disintegrating Grimm, my anger leaving me and my vision going back to it's normal colour, I felt a sudden pain in my right foot. Looking down I realized that when I hit the Beowolf with my foot I may or may not have dislocated one of my bones there.
Thankfully after a small 5 minute break all wounds were healed. Unfortunately the blood that was covering my fur, not so much. I was actually becoming more and more red with each wound I got.
"Well… this is gonna be annoying to clean up", I thought and headed towards the town.
The city itself hadn't changed much since last time. Well the structure that is. There were a few Grimm that I could see in the distance walking down a road and through alleys. There were a few small Nevermore's that I smacked around if they got too close to me. But other than that no other Grimm.
I went to the docks, and not so much to my surprise most of the crates that were there last time were either ransacked or just gone.
"Damned Torchwick", I thought as I was looking through shipping containers. I was wondering were I was gonna look for Torchwick when gunfire got my attention.
It came from the east side of the city. "Well I got nothing better to do", I thought as I went on all fours and sprinted towards the noise.
After about a minute or so I was standing on top of a building to get a better vantage point. In front of me were a group of people. Well faunus… from the damn White Fang. There were a total of 4 of them standing near a pickup truck that had a bunch of Dust in the back of it. A big panda faunus was putting another small crate in the back of the car and had a big hammer next to him. There were 2 more, both looked like deer faunus with machine guns scanning the road they were on, and one more wolf faunus with a big ol bushy tail taping away at his scroll.
"That the last of it? Don't want that Torchwick guy blabbering about how there's probably more in the city… again", said the wolf faunus.
"Pretty sure I checked everywhere. Why are we doing this again? I mean helping the human", said the panda faunus.
"Cuz Adam said so", said one of the deer faunus, prompting me to growl under my breath.
"C'mon let's get going… I feel like were being watched", said the other deer, it sounded like she was the only female of the group.
"I know. C'mon in the truck, I want to get some food", said the wolf faunus.
"Oh you cunts ain't going nowhere", I thought as they all got in the truck. As the last door was shut I jumped and landed on top of the roof of the car denting it, prompting the occupants to swear or scream. The driver window was down so I reached down, grabbed the wolf faunus and pulled him out.
"Ello pup", I said bringing him up to my face and then trowing him to the side and into a wall. Then I jumped down to the other side where the panda faunus just got out of the car. I grabbed him by the arms and flung him into his wolf friend.
The two deer faunus stepped out of the car and backed up, starting to shoot at me with their machine guns. I let out a gutteral growl and jumped towards the closes one. I tackled the male deer faunus to the ground then got up holding him and threw his to his two other buddies that were trying to get up.
The other deer faunus stopped shooting and changed her machine gun to a sword and with a yell charged at me. She impaled me in the ribs making me howl in pain and back up making her loose her grip and let go of her sword.
For a brief moment she stood there stunned as I pulled the sword out.
I looked over it and then looked at her, even though the mask was covering most of her face I could see her disbelief from her body language as she was slightly shaking.
"Well… that wasn't very nice", I said and bent the sword in two with my arms and threw it to the side. Then I got up to her, she was frozen in place, and picked her up by the neck.
"But I was becoming a little hungry. I always wondered if deer faunus tasted like regular deer", I said and opened my jaws a bit. I wasn't actually going to eat her of course, but I did want to scare them a bit.
"WAIT!", said the wolf faunus.
"And why should I postpone my lunch, Pup?", I asked.
"I know you", he said, "you're the creature the people have been calling 'Natures Beast'. I know you help people and don't eat them."
"Hehehehe", I laughed, "Got me there. But me not eating people doesn't mean I don't kill", I said and tightened my grip around the faunus' neck.
"Please let her go!", said the other deer faunus.
"Tell me Roman is.", I said.
"What?", said the wolf faunus.
"Tell me where Torchwick is and your little friend here gets to live", I said.
"He doesn't have a permanent place as far as we know", said the deer faunus, "We just deliver him Dust"
"Where?", I ask as I let go the female faunus go.
"To the east about 15 kilometers from the city, there's a beach, he comes by boat every Friday evening by boat. He oversees the transport of the Dust and then he leaves. That's all we know.", said the male deer faunus.
"So in two days. Good to know. Now listen to me very carefully. I will be there but if you gave me a wrong place or if anyone else know I am going to be there I will hunt all of you and feed you to the Grimm personally. But you don't have to worry if you aren't lying, I only want Roman", I said.
"How can we trust you?" asked the Panda Faunus.
"You can't but I am Hunting Torchwick right now so unless you get involved you will not be harmed.", I said, "Also I would recommend you leave the White Fang, that organization is going down the wrong path."
"What do you know about the White Fang", spat back the panda.
"I know they hurt innocent people", I said.
"Humans aren't innocent", he said.
"Some of them aren't,but most of them are. Are you really going to judge the whole human race just because a few racist twats have treated you differently", I asked.
"Well...", he started but I cut him off, "Because if I acted on my anger when people judged me, I would have left a bigger path of bodies than the Grimm ever have in the last 20 years."
"Why are you after Torchwick?", asked the wolf faunus.
"Because he isn't part of the innocent, and like Adam Taurus, he is hurting innocents. The White Fang was once for equality between Humans and Faunus, but now it's nothing short of a terrorist organization. All the proof you need is to look at the people Taurus is allied with, because the White Fang may have a leader that isn't him, but he is the one pulling the strings. So please for your own safety leave the White Fang.", I said and jumped on the building they were under.
"And… sorry for the weapon", I said before I rushed eastward jumping from building to building.
I was keeping to the seaside while running eastward. A few hundred meters after I left the town premisses the beach turned into rocky outcrops until the ground went up and it became a cliff edge with about 50 or so meters from the top to the splashing waters below.
After about an hour of running I ended up on an edge peak that extended above the water. On the left was a big drop to a small rocky beach that had one small naturally formed path heading inland.
"Guess this is the place.", I thought. I turned back into my human form and sat on the peak and looked at the ocean in front of me. It was very peaceful. One would easily think this is a place back on Earth. Forget that the Grimm exist. Forget about the worries in the world in general. And just stare at the ocean, with the water splashing into the rocks below.
And it was nice, to have such a peaceful moment. At least for a bit.
2 days later
It had been 2 days since my rather odd interrogation / talk with the four White Fang members. I had been scouting the area out a bit. The peak that I was on had the best view point and if there wasn't much light it would be hard to see my silhouette from the beach down below.
Also after the natural path that went from the beach inward there was a dirt road that looked used. I figured that it was from where they brought the Dust down to the beach where I would assume Torchwick was going to be at.
I was waiting patiently for night to come. As it did the light from the broken moon was all that was left illuminating the area.
As I was starting to think that the 4 faunus had lied to me, a small light emanated from the ocean. As it came closer I could hear the engine of a boat. And sure enough after a few minutes the same boat that Torchwick escaped with from the docks at Vale showed up, with dear ol Torch-face in it.
As it was nearing the shoreline I could hear car engines coming from the right. I assumed it was the White Fang bringing the Dust.
The boat actually beached itself but two big poles came from the nose and dug into the sandy rocks below it. Then a ramp from the top of the boat extended down and Torchwick followed by Neo and a few henchmen went down it.
A few minutes later in a single file, as the path didn't allow for more, about 10 or so White Fang members came down carrying boxes.
When they got to the beach they laid the boxes on the ground. I could see the four faunus I talked with at the town 2 days ago. They seemed… nervous for some reason.
"Doubt they are scared from Torch-brain over there", I thought.
"Is this all?", I could hear Torchwick ask.
"Yeah, we searched the whole town, that's the last of the Dust", said the wolf faunus from yesterday.
"Good good", said Torchwick, he then motioned to his henchmen with his head, and they went and started transporting them to the boat.
"It has been a pleasure as always gentlemen", said Torchwick, "Please send Adam my kindest regards". By now most of the crates were loaded or were getting carried on the boat.
"Well it's now or never", I thought and got ready to jump.
Just as Neo and Torchwick were about to get on the boat themselves, all the White Fang members put their guns up.
"Ah", said Torchwick, "I had a feeling something like this would happen.", he turned towards them, "So I came prepared", he snapped his fingers and all his goons drew their weapons out, and a massive gun suddenly appeared on the top of the boat.
"You see my little friends you never try and bullshit a bullshitter. Though those crates were convincing", said Torchwick, "But for ones filled with fakes they were rather easy to spot when you have a handy device", he pulled out a small scroll look-a-like, "You see with this, I could put a Dust crystal on a specified slot, or even a box of them, and it would tell me if they were actually Dust crystals. I was just waiting to see what you were going to do. So my deepest apologies, but this is our farewell."
"ARWOOOOOOOOO", my howl pierced the night and I jumped and landed with a heavy slam on top of the gun on the boat. I then grabbed the two barrels and started pulling until they both came off and I threw them aside.
"Well… I did not expect this.", said Torchwick.
I jumped down to meet Torchwick, Neo and a few of the goons.
"Roman Torchwick", I said with a slight growl, "it seems like we meet once more. This time though there isn't anyone here to distract me."
"It would seem so wouldn't it?", he said. He was a lot calmer than what I expected. Couldn't say the same for his goons though.
"Well 'Nature's Beast', or however the media is calling you. May I ask did you make those rag tag bunch of zoo animals turn on their respecting boss.", he said. The faunus stiffed but didn't shoot, as most of them were looking at me with what I would describe as shock. Or that's what I gathered from their body language as their faces were mostly obscured by their masks.
"I do not know what they have planned, nor do I care", I said, "THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING!?", "But I am here for you, Roman Torchwick. But if you wish a name, I am called Warwick. And you are my prey", as I finished my sentence I leaped towards him.
As I collided with the small group of Torchwick's henchmen. Himself and Neo jumped back with Torchwick shouting orders. Then all hell broke loose. The goons that weren't busy with me beating them to a pulp were shooting at the White Fang members, with Torchwick and Neo now on the top of the ship.
I finished up the last of the goons and then looked at Torchwick. Just as I jumped at him something hit me in the snout and pushed me to the side. It actually had enough force to make me go past the boat and land on the rocky beach.
As I got up and looked back at the boat, on the front of it standing with the moonlight illuminating her, was Cinder.
My snout had gotten singed from what I presumed was her fireball. I glared at her my vision becoming red, my body feeling with rage.
"Well if it isn't the little puppy.", she said, "unfortunately I don't have time to play fetch tonight. Roman get the boat going"
Roman said something into his scroll and the boats engines came to life. The two metal poles that were used to stabilize the boat out of the water began to extend pushing it further back into the ocean.
I rushed towards the boat but a set of fireballs and gunfire began bombarding me as I got closer to the boat. The guns didn't do that much to me, as most of the bullets went off my skin, but the fireballs, especially the ones hitting my face were preventing me from getting too close to the boat.
I had considered jumping on it, but it got into the water and sped off faster than I thought it would. And yet again Roman and now Cinder escaped my grasp.
I looked at the speeding boat for a while, me and Cinder locked glares before she went back into the boat. I then heard footsteps behind me and remembered the 10 faunus that had attacked Roman.
I turned and faced them. They had their masks off and were looking at me.
"Why did you do it?", I asked them.
"We thought about what you said", said the wolf faunus, "It wasn't an easy decision, but we decided that we would leave the White Fang. And we also thought that maybe we could stop Torchwick… guess we didn't think that part all the way through".
As he said that, my vision turned back to normal, and a small smile crept up my face.
"Haaaahahaha!", I laughed.
"What's so funny?", he asked with a confused look.
"Nothing", I said, "I'm happy that I managed to help you make the right decision. Even if what you did here was the peak of idiocy. Going up against Roman and his gang is not an easy task, even if his goons are incompetent."
"Maybe next time we should coordinate better huh?", he said with a chuckle.
"That we should friend, but tell me what is your name?", I asked
"Tenn", he answered.
"Well Tenn, I am glad I could help you and your friends make the correct decision, but now that you have left the White Fang were would you go?", I said.
"Oh we have hideout. All of us were friends since we were children so we had made a small bunker of sorts in the woods north of here, we will be there for now… we can't risk the White Fang finding us… we have heard stories of people who have left… not the most forgiving group when you think about it", he said.
"Well I wish all of you the best of luck, I hope we can meet again. And if you need help I will always be willing to lend a hand.", I said and then leaped to the wall on my left and climbed back up to the peak I was on earlier.
"WAIT!", Tenn shouted at me, "How CAN we find you if we need help?"
"Follow The Howl of the Wolf", I said looking back at him
For some effect I stood as tall as I could reared my head back and looked at the moon.
"AWROOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..."
AN: RANT TIME! When I first started the fic I wanted it to be different from the thousands of meta fics aka, plop OC/SI in world, give OC/SI OP powers because reasons, make OC/SI join team RWBY, follow the story of the show to a fucking point, change literally NOTHING!, probably do a popular pairing or even make a harem (side note to the guys that do this with team RWBY, you do know that Ruby is FUCKING 15 Y/O FOR THE FIRST 3 VOLUMES OF THE SHOW RIGHT?), and then… well that is it really not much else to the story, it just kinda… exists. And unfortunately I have been doing just that the last few chapters, and thanks to a review by *squints eyes because 10+ years of gaming have destroyed my vision* Kalbario, not only did he (or she, cuz fuck if I know how genders work these days) give me some awesome ideas to work into the story, but also worked as a kick in the but to wake me up from this meta writing I was doing, so thx m8, *gives vodka as thanks*, so I will be going back to my original idea, making an awesome Werewolf, a creature so fierce and powerful that the damn Grimm would think twice before attacking. Also I will still be keeping the shitty chapters with interactions cuz I think the conversations between the characterswere ok, but I do admit that chapters 4,5 and 6 were my worst ones with me putting bullshit in them for convenience sake. Also another flaw that I have made… I have lowered the amount of jokes in my chapters, I shall fix that too! Have a nice day ya cunts!
