Hey doods I'M and I want to give a quick thanks to for letting me use his OC team. Oh did I just reveal a new team ;) Ared is working on his own story so go check out his story when his finished.
Now then back to Gray Snow.
Me and Yahto were in the library researching information on Leviathan Grimm. We learned that they were rare but were among the most dangerous type of Grimm. Yahto was silently absorbing information we were reading.
" Well I think we have quite a battle ahead of us." Yahto didn't look up from the book he was reading as I spoke.
" Come on Yahto, like that's anything new. You and me are always finding ourselves in the worst situations. Still if what we learned is true than it is gonna be a tough fight." I couldn't help but smirk as I finished. I always tried to test myself so facing a rare type of Grimm is once in a lifetime challenge and I was itching to accept.
" I know but I think we may need help. If were fighting near water then I suggest we get someone else who can be of assistance." Yahto finally put down the book he was reading and took deep breath and looked at me.
" True so who did you have in mind ?" Yahto took another deep breath. " If we need to immobilize the Leviathan in the water then we need to freeze the water."
I could feel my heart sink, realizing who Yahto meant. " Grey we need Wei-"
" No. no way is she getting involved. I am not risking her getting hurt if I can help it." I was adamantly against Weiss getting put in danger if I could help it.
" I understand how you feel Grey. I worry about Blake but I know she can handle herself in a fight." I was caught off-guard at what Yahto said and then he realized what he said as his eyes went wide. It took me a moment before I fully understood what he said.
" I should have seen this coming. For some reason I'm not as shocked as I should be." Yahto let out a deep sigh and bowed his head in shame before regaining his stoic persona.
" So will Weiss be joining us ?" I thought it over for a moment. Weiss would be useful but I didn't want her to get hurt so I came up with another plan just in case.
" I'll allow it if she agrees. I'm still against it but I know your right." As we began to clear our table up of the books we gathered a group of other students began to approach us. One girl with blonde hair in particular stopped in front of us.
" So aren't you the two who took down a pair of Nevermore by yourselves." Me and Yahto sighed as we knew what was going on.
We had been on an assignment to clear out and Ursa den which went rather quickly but a pair of Nevermore decided to ambush me and Yahto. One thing led to another and it ended with us riding a Nevermore before crashing in front of Beacon. Since then a bunch of rumors we going around about us.
I finally noticed that the group of students were all 2nd year girls. Me and Yahto had become famous but it started earlier ever since I fought the training droids and set the new record which I beat by one.
" Grey we have things to do. Let's go find Weiss." I nodded at him and we began to leave until I felt a tug on my arm, it was the blonde girl from before.
" Oh you don't need her. You can always come have fun with me." Her blue eyes were staring into mine but I was getting really annoyed so I activated my semblance and shocked the girl, not enough to hurt her but enough to make her let go. I turned to Yahto and nodded at him, signaling for us to leave.
" I'm really getting annoyed by this." Yahto gave me an agreeing nod as we made our to the dorms
" Agreed."
Me, my team, Teams rwby, and Jnpr were sitting together enjoying our lunch as we talked amongst ourselves. Then the topic of me and Yahto's research came up, courtesy of our respective girlfriends.
" Grey what have you and Yahto been researching every day after class and training ? " Weiss asked while her and the other's eyed us. Rouge and Ashley tensed up knowing what we were planning.
" We were planning what to do for Professor Port's assignment. We just need your help if you want to." Yahto was calmly explaining to Weiss and the others while I nervously took a sip from my soda. Then Weiss turned to me.
" Grey what does he mean ? What creature could be worth so much trouble ?" Weiss was glaring at me and I was starting to crack under her gaze slowly but surely. I let out a sigh and turned to Yahto who nodded at me.
" We were planning to fight a Leviathan. Yahto and I need you to come and fight with us." Eyes darted me, Yahto and Weiss while we waited for her to respond. Eventually she let out a long sigh. " Fine I'll do it."
Jaune nearly chocked on his water, while Pyrrha did her best to help him. Ren just stared at us while Nora and Ruby were beaming at the news. Nora couldn't help but ask questions.
" OOOHHH Are you gonna bring it's head !?" Me and Yahto both nodded causing Jaune to once again nearly choke. " I wanna help to." Everyone stared at Jaune as he spoke.
" Why is that ?" Yahto asked while Jaune took a calming breath. " My family has a history of being warriors and hero's and I want to be just like them. So if I help fight a Leviathan then I can actually be like them."
" Well if you want to be a hero than helping us will get you noticed." Yahto calmly took a sip from his tea before speaking again. " I want to warn you now that it will be dangerous but your help is welcomed Jaune."
" So it's Jaune, Yahto, Weiss and Me against a Leviathan. I think I like these odds." Everyone laughed and we continued the rest of lunch enjoying each others company.
Me, Jaune, Weiss, and Yahto were sitting together across from Professor Ozpin as we discussed us four leaving for a while to face the Leviathan. As Yahto and I explained to him Professor Ozpin would occasionally jot something down on his scroll or a sheet of paper.
" Are you four quite sure you want to do this ? I understand it's for an assignment but I still worry for my students." We all nodded causing Ozpin to sigh as he smiled at us.
" Well if that's it then very well. I arrange for an airship to fly you to your destination and back to Beacon. You may leave whenever your ready and I look forward to your return." We all thanked Ozpin as we left his office and regrouped.
" So when do you all want to leave." Jaune asked the moment we stepped out of Ozpin's office.
" I vote now. I'm itching to fight this thing." I turned to Jaune who gave me a thumbs up and Yahto who nodded at me. Weiss just sighed at me but nodded her in agreement.
" What could ever go wrong." I said, failing to realize that anyone who said those words always had something go wrong.
Me Yahto Jaune and Weiss were standing on a beach trying to determine where the Leviathan would be. All reports indicated that it was near the coast line that were standing at on the west of Beacon.
" So how do we find it ?" Jaune asked. I didn't have a clue as to where to go but then another idea came to me and I'm sure Weiss wouldn't like it. I walked to the very edge of the beach so the water was rushing past my feet.
" Yahto can you give me my scythe." I had finally constructed my new dark-steel scythe and I made sure to make it indestructible by conventional means. Yahto threw me what looked like a pipe to the average person but was really my scythe in it's deactivated form. I clicked a switch on it and my scythe extended to it's full length.
It had runes etched onto the blade but aside from that the scythes only unique property was that it was retractable. I quickly deactivated my scythe, which I dubbed Eclipse Rose and grabbed my retractable sword and activated it. I pricked my finger slightly so blood would seep and drop into the water. I was banking on this luring the beast out to face us. After I was done I walked back over to my friends and stood alongside them as we waited but thankfully we didn't have to wait long.
After about five minutes I saw the water seem murky and black then it rose up. It was massive and a little unnerving to say the least. I was largest creature I had seen outside of movies. It had onyx black scales and the standard white Grimm mask with red markings stylized on. It's blood red eyes noticed us and it roared loudly. I felt my bones chill slightly but at the same time I felt my blood boil at the idea of a fight with this along side my friends. I activated Eclipse Rose and planted it in the sand. The others drew their weapons but I walked forward slightly so I was ahead of them.
" Ok you overgrown reptile, we're gonna be taking your head back with us." Instead of trying to kill me immediately the Leviathan stared me down and moved closer slightly. I prepared myself but it didn't charge at me. It was trying be eye level with me but it was having a difficult time so it rest back slightly in the water and opened it's mouth.
" You humans, always weak and arrogant for your own good." I backed up to regroup with my friends as I digested that the creature was speaking. Our eyes all went up in shock but the Leviathan focused on me. " Did did you just speak ?"
" Pitiful that the master believes this one worthy. I am one of the Chosen, my master's most powerful and loyal subjects. I am-"
" A giant talking sea serpent that's been terrorizing the coast. Ya I'm defiantly taking your head now." I had enough of this thing speaking down to us. I hefted Eclipse Rose over my shoulder and stared down the Leviathan who was staring back at me.
Jaune gave me a worried look but Yahto put his mind at ease. " It's alright, he's always like this in a fight." Weiss nodded in agreement with Yahto as the Leviathan stared at us. I took a step forward and glared back at it.
" I don't care what you are or who you serve so just know humans can kill monsters." The Leviathan roared at me one more time before and retreated a decent distance to the water.
" I shall devour you and turn all you love to ashes."
" Kinda hard since you live in the ocean." I think I hit a nerve because it rose and got ready to fight me. I readied myself and took the lead for the fight.
The Leviathan shot forward at the ground but we all dived out of the away and readied ourselves. We had a plan and as of now it was a time to use it.
" Weiss, Yahto I need a boost ! Jaune Lets Go !" Me and Jaune ran forward and jumped towards the Leviathan and we were flung into the air above it by Weiss' glyphs. We came down and landed on the creatures head as it wiggled and squirmed to throw us off.
Jaune drove his sword into it's scaly head as I did the same with Eclipse Rose. The Leviathan's skin was incredibly tough so Jaune channeled his aura into his sword to get through it. Luckily for me during the time I forged Eclipse Rose I made sure to send my aura through it and since then my aura is embedded into it so cutting through the creatures scales were easy. The Leviathan squirmed and bucked wildly and succeeded in knocking us off.
I turned mid fall and crashed into the ground while Jaune floated down courtesy of Yahto. " It's skin isn't that tough but it's tough enough so Jaune had trouble getting through."
The Leviathan charged at us but Weiss put up a glyph to shield us but she was having trouble holding it back so I put my hand on our side of the glyph and sent my aura into it so reinforce it as Jaune flanked around us and drove his sword into the creatures left eye. The Leviathan screeched in pain as it moved away from the glyph.
We all regrouped as Weiss fired dust bolts at the Leviathan but to no effect instead this seemed to anger it more. " I will feast on your corpses !" Yeah I think we angered it more.
We all readied ourselves as the Leviathan glared at us with blood dripping from it's destroyed left eye, courtesy of Jaune. Yahto moved forward as he sheathed Sky and held Sea. He aimed his open had at the creature as his arm glowed with a faint light blue glow, I knew what he was doing.
The water the Leviathan was in started to encase it in a bubble as Yahto drove Sea into the ocean causing it's blue gem to glow. Now with both hands Yahto began manipulating the ocean so he could encase the Leviathan entirely and it worked but Yahto was sweating and breathing heavily, doing something this massive must have been taxing on him. " Grey NOW !"
I ran forward into ocean and arced out my arm as I put my hand on Sea's handle and sent large amounts of my aura into it causing electricity to move down the blade into the ocean. The electricity began to arc out in the bubble Yahto created for the Leviathan, electrocuting it in the process. It screeched and roared in a mixture of pain and rage until it fell onto the beach.
Me and Yahto were panting, we rarely did things like this because it left us near exhausted and tired but now was an exception. Yahto grabbed Sea as I deactivated Eclipse Rose as I put it on my belt and walked over to Weiss. " I need Nirvana." She nodded as she grabbed Nirvana as it hanged from her side.
Weiss handed Nirvana to me so I turned to face the now dead Leviathan. I walked over until it began to stur and let out a massive roar that sent sand flying everywhere but Weiss put up a glyph to shield us from it. The Leviathan rose up and glared at me and Yahto
" I will DESTROY YOU BOTH !" I was feeling exhausted and Yahto was in the same boat as me. Weiss looked a little tired from casting glyphs but Jaune look energized enough but he did look nervous. I caught my breath as Jaune ran to my side.
" Grey are you ok." I took a few breaths as I stared at Nirvana's runes that ran down the blade. " Jaune I need you to throw inside it. I doubt Yahto is in any shape to fight right now." Jaune gave a shocked look as Yahto walked moved over to us.
" Don't count me out just yet." Yahto had a determined look on his face but I could the sweat beading down his cheeks and his chest heaving for air.
" Can you do it ?" Yahto gave me an affirming nod so I took his word for it. He drew Sky and held it in an off-hand grip while standing alongside me and Jaune. Jaune had his sword and shield at the ready while I was wielding Nirvana. The Leviathan roared at us as Weiss walked towards as.
" Weiss I need you to stay back and let me end this." I could see she was about to protest but Yahto gave her a nod, she only sighed and stood behind me.
" My master honestly believes that this weak human is worthy. Pitiful !" The Leviathan roared one more time before opening it's mouth as it tried to devour us. Weiss casted a shield glyph that the Leviathan crashed into, causing it to rear back in anger and confusion. Me and Jaune ran forward as Yahto used Sky send us into the sky above the Leviathan. Jaune put his shield up as I used it as a footpad and dived at the Leviathan with Nirvana. Jaune floated back down but I rocketed into the Leviathan's mouth as it closed it's jaw to devour me so I let it.
Weiss was on her knees and was distraught as it appeared as if the Leviathan had swallowed Grey. Yahto was kneeling with Sky, having used the last bits of aura to safely bring Jaune back down safely. Jaune was standing and had Crocea Mors at the ready as the Leviathan let out a long screech.
" Is that all you pitiful creatures are capable of ! I wil-" The leviathan began to screech in pain but stopped all at once as it crashed onto the sand motionless. Even the distraught Weiss was shocked at what had happened. The Leviathan's mouth began to open as Grey forced it's mouth open as he appeared with Nirvana and him coated in the black blood of the Leviathan. When he got out he fell to his knees but used Nirvana as a crutch before looking everyone else in the eyes and smiling.
" I think we won." Grey turned to the dead Leviathan before continuing. " Like I said humans kill monsters." Weiss ran over to Grey and hugged him while still coated in the Leviathan's blood.
" YOU DUNCE, YOU COULD HAVE DIED !" Tears were streaming down her face so Grey let go of Nirvana and hugged Weiss tightly, staining her dress in the process but comforting Weiss all the same. " Like I said I'm not dying anytime soon `cause I still have things worth fighting for."
" Grey what did you do to it ?" Jaune asked while observing the dead Leviathan with Yahto. " Well after I let myself get eaten I stabbed it in the tongue then I just started stabbing the top of it's mouth until Nirvana`s runes began to glow. I decided to move further down and stab it in the throat. When I felt us crash I made my way out and forced it's mouth open and here we are."
" So how are we gonna get it's head back ?" Jaune asked as Yahto pulled out his scroll. " I have that taken care off, we just need to get it's head off." I broke off my hug with Weiss and shakily got up to my feet. I grabbed Eclipse Rose and activated it as I moved towards the Leviathan's neck.
" This could get messy." I brought Eclipse Rose and began to cleave through the creatures neck to cut it's head off. " This may take awhile."
Me, Jaune, Yahto and Weiss were finally landing at Beacon while other students gathered around our airship as the pilot maneuvered the Leviathan's head in order to release it from the cables it was attached to. As soon as I heard the head drop I decided to open the emergency exit and jump out of the air ship and landed in front of the crowd of students as the airship and Leviathan head stood behind me. I could see looks of admiration, shock, envy and many others as eyes darted from me to the Leviathan head. I suddenly heard the others walk beside me.
" You couldn't resist jumping could you Grey." Weiss said while shaking her head at me. Yahto and Jaune smiled at this while I playfully shrugged at Weiss.
" You knew that before you said yes to me." Weiss became flustered and blushed furiously at me. Then I saw Professors Goodwitch, Ozpin and Port walk through the group of students and towards me and the others.
" Haha a fine trophy indeed ! Passing grades for Teams Rwby, Gray and Jnpr !" Professor Port patted my shoulders while Professor Goodwitch examined the Leviathan's head.
" What happened to it's eye ?"
" Oh I uh stabbed it." Jaune said nervously before Yahto put a hand on his shoulder. " And what about stab and cut wounds on it's head ?"
" Oh me and Jaune jumped on it and tried to cut through, it partially worked so I killed it from the inside." This surprised everyone, even Professor Ozpin who was normally so reserved.
" HAHA Well Done ! I must have this mounted right away !" Professor Port grabbed the leviathan's head and began to drag it. He was dragging that which we needed an airship to move. Everyone made room as he dragged it across the court yard and into Beacon, my mouth gapped at the sight.
Then I saw the rest of my friends run through the crowd as Pyrrha hugged Jaune tightly. " JAUNE, YOUR ALIVE !" Jaune was blushing but her never the less returned the hugged.
Blake did the same thing with Yahto only less dramatic. " Welcome back Yahto. I was worried about you." They shared a warm hug as Yahto's cloak wrapped around them both.
Nora and Ren went to go join the rest of their team but Ren gave me a smirk and nod before going. Then Ruby, Yang, Rouge and Ashley joined up with me and Weiss.
We all just stood there talking about what had happened but I made sure to leave out the fact that the Leviathan could even speak. I noticed that some students were eyeing Weiss but I shot them glares that made them turn and leave in terror. Satisfied with that, I continued the day with one more victory under my belt.
I was sitting in Professor Goodwitch's class while she read off who would be facing each other today. It had been a week since the Leviathan and since then Me, Yahto and Jaune have become the envy and admiration of most students.
" Grey Rose vs. Ared Wolf." I heard a collection of gasp and murmurs as people heard my name. Ever since the training droid incident people were terrified of facing me in a match and that made it more difficult to find a sparring partner when everyone else was busy. This was around the time the person called would forfeit and I would be without someone to face.
I never heard it. I walked up to the stage and waited for my opponent. A moment later a student who looked like a first year like me was standing across from me.
He had short black scraggly cut hair like me, he was wearing a black t-shirt and I could see the strap of holster tucked under his right arm-pit. He was wearing black jeans, with red stitching. His belt symbol... it was a wolf head with three red claw marks. I recognized it as The White Fang's symbol as I felt my blood boil. He was wearing black combat boots and I noticed his sword, a katana with a golden and black stylized dragon hilt like Yahto's swords.
It looked like he was wearing what looked like an ear-piece. We stared at each other but I couldn't stop staring at The White Fang belt buckle he was wearing. He was probably with them as an agent. I couldn't help but remember Adam as I mentally prepared myself to focus on the fight.
" Begin !"
Me and Ared stared each other down as he pulled his katana out. It's blade was black and felt a sense of sadness because it looked like my old sword. Nirvana was hanging at my side so I grabbed it and held it an a defensive stance. Ared got into a similar stance and we stared each other down.
Ared ran forward and so did I as we swung and our blades collided. Ared's speed was impressive enough to keep up with me when I didn't enhance myself. We traded swift sword strikes as we fell into what would seem a staged battle. Ared was relying on fast strike that didn't have enough force behind them but that was the point. They were meant to wear me down and find an opening. We fell into a blade-lock and stared each other down.
" Play time is over." I said, catching Ared off-guard. I broke off and twirled Nirvana in complex orbits will still striking at Ared. My style of fighting was more based on precision and speed while backing up with strength so all my bases were covered. Ared began to parry my strike but then he spun around swung at me as our swords collided.
Something was different. I felt the weight behind this strike but it was slower than all the others. I quickly realized that he had switched styles and was relying on strength to overpower me. These strikes were slower but just even more heavy ended so parried and kicked Ared in the stomach to put distance between us.
I drove Nirvana into the ground and grabbed Eclipse Rose and activated it. I planted it, blade first in front of me as well. I hefted Eclipse Rose over my shoulder and stared down Ared.
" If you wanna give up, now`s your chance." Ared just smirked at me and charged. I began swing Eclipse Rose in orbits as his sword and my scythe collided in a flurry of sparks. I fainted a swing at his neck before quickly spinning Eclipse Rose and pulling his feet from under him.
He fell to the ground in a heap as I held my scythe up to his neck. " Your pretty good. We should train together some time." I offered him a hand which he took and helped him.
" Yeah we should." He sheathed his sword and I deactivated Eclipse Rose. I grabbed Nirvana and put both my weapons on my belt as me and Ared walked off the stage. Even after our match I still a small bit of animosity toward Ared because he wore the White Fang symbol without care but then again I had no right to judge him but I would make it a task to keep an eye on him.
I took my seat as I watched Ruby go up against another poor first year student. It was a rather short match to be honest. The student charged at Ruby with a greatsword and went for an overhead swing. Ruby sidestepped and spun Crescent Rose and held the blade against his spine. Ruby could have severed the student but instead she drop-kicked him in the stomach causing him to tumble over Crescent Rose and lose his sword in the process. After seeing this, Professor Goodwitch called the match declaring Ruby the winner.
The rest of class was followed by many other duels but thoughts of Ared were still lingering in my mind.
Me and Weiss were sitting together and holding hands on a bench in the Beacon courtyard. Classes had ended and we were trying to figure out what to do about me meeting her family.
" Grey, I'm scared."
" Scared of what Weiss ?" She rested her head on my shoulder as we watched the sun move across the sky. " I'm scared about what my father will think about you."
" I really don't care as long as I have you." I let go of her hand and wrapped my arm around her waist. " I know but I just don't know what to do." She sounded frustrated and with good reason. She was a Schnee heiress and dating a Faunus was something I was positive her father would hate massively, especially one with my past.
" Me neither but no matter what happens I'll always love you Weiss." She looked up at me in shock and surprise as to what I said. " You really do ?"
" Of course I do. The time we've been together has been filled with some many memories. Some good and some not so good but it doesn't matter. If I had to carry the world on my shoulders to be with you than I would. Your just that important to me Weiss." I could see tears welling up in her eyes and I was starting to tear up but I held them back as Weiss and her beautiful icy blue eyes stared into my silver eyes.
" You can be an impulsive, cocky and arrogant dunce."
" Hey !"
" Your always willing to shoulder other's burdens by yourself. You always try to help others without even knowing them, your kind compassionate and you have always treated me like a princess. Even if your a dunce, your my dunce." She hugged me tightly and I happily returned her hug.
" Now and always." We looked at each other and moved in to kiss. I felt a sudden warm embrace as our lips connected and it felt like the world stopped but all that mattered was right now. I was with the girl that I loved and that was all that mattered.
What a heart-warming ending. Thanks again to TheWriterAredWolf for letting me use his OC team but only Ared has appeared as of right now.
Also doods I'll be doing an Eragon/Inheritance story with an all new OC ( insert dramatic reaction).
