Volume 2, Episode 7: A Dire Warning

I couldn't be any prouder.

I am now the leader of my very own team, Team RWBY 2, destined to carry on our parents' legacy.

I'm just having some time to myself in the forests, reflecting on everything that has happened. I beat my rival Sapphire in a tournament and won it, Winifred had faced an Ursa alone and won, Black had gained the trust of the gentlemanly Terra Hillsworth, and Yao has gotten hooked onto this band called The Sirens.

However, there is this one thing.

This Dust guy that killed my teacher? She basically can't die. They say that she is a servant of some sort of ancient Grimm.

Speaking of Grimm, rumors say that they've returned. And I've heard a few Huntsmen and Huntresses, such as these Oren Hallowhart and Azul Sangre guys, have identified a few new types.

There's Ragnarök, which I'm sure is some sort of giant quadruped beast with a snake tail.

There's also Carmilla, some sort of hellhoundish beast. Oren told me that's he managed to slay one of these guys with his Screaming Angel Sword.

Garret Strider also told me that he had faced a Kitsuninja and Tinker on some bike called Kriegpferd.

I'm snapped out of my thoughts when some sort of boy falls out of the clearing, panting heavily.

"Are you okay?" I ask. "What's your name?"

He's panting heavily, as if something had been chasing him.

"My…..My name is Cheelus." He gasps. "I….I have to warn you about something…."

"The Grimm have returned?"

"YES! But….they're not….being led….by the witch. They obey….someone called….the Juggernaut."

My eyes go wide.

"Juggernaut?" I ask. "I thought….he was a myth!" I then notice a red spot near Cheelus's backside.

"I may look human, but I….WAS a Faunus. A Cheetah Faunus….before Juggernaut…..cut off my tail…..*gasp* He and his Grimm forces….decimated the White Fang base…..I was the only one…to survive."

"Oh. Well, that explains why you run so fast."

"He wants…*pant*…to exterminate both of our species, Briar! Sorry, Rudolph….Remnant could be facing another war! The only way….we must win….I believe…." Cheelus looks at me with seemingly pleading eyes.

"Is that Humans and Faunus must put aside their differences….to face this threat together!"

"Is there anything I can do?"

"You….WE….must fight. But if you can't, then find someone who CAN!"

I nod. "Everything will be alright, Cheelus. I'm the son of Ruby Rose, who vanquished the Grimm Queen Salem years ago. If she can end a war….

Then so can I!"
