A month….. A FLIPPING MONTH!
I am very mad at myself for not sitting down and continuing this story!
Updates for the story will be coming out at…. Random times, because highschool sucks.
Anyway onto the reason most people are still here, The actual chapter.
RWBY: The Dark Artist Chapter 20
Two white fang members were guarding a cell in the middle of the woods.
"What are we doing out here!" Said Member One
"You know He told us to be out here." Said Member Two
"All we are doing is guarding one cell! Plus this guy is harmless!" Said One.
"Be quiet and do your job!" Said Two as the masked man that was talking to Hector walked up.
"You two may leave now. Your work is over!" Said the masked man.
"Yes Sir!" Said the two members as they left Him.
"Are you ready to talk?" Said the man as he walked into the cell. Inside was a green haired man wearing a hat. He had bruising on his face from multiple punches and attempts to make him talk.
"No." Said the man.
"Why won't you talk N? We have those two girls that you want to protect. So talk or they'll get hurt." Said the masked man.
"You're lying Marcus." Said N as he looked up at his mask.
"What makes you say that "False King"?" Said Marcus.
"You have too much arrogance in your voice. As if I would fall for that. Plus I got a bit of help." Said N as a fist appeared going at the masked man.
"What?" Said Marcus as he put his arms up to defend. But nothing hit him. When he looked up he saw that N was gone.
"WHAT!" Said Marcus as he looked around the room. N and his only connection to two Legendary pokemon was gone.
He stormed out of the room and started to search for N. But N had not left. He was sitting right where the man last saw him. The only difference to the room was the now open door and the purpled haired pokemon cutting him free.
"Zoroark you're illusions never fail." Said N as he rubbed his hands.
"You know it!" Said the Zoroark as she got up and helped N get out of the chair.
"Where to next?" Asked Zoroark.
"Anywhere but here." Said N as they started walking south of the cell.
(Rwby Dorm)
After a good hour of just talking and explaining things about Remnant to the two trainers, the Rwby team saw it better to shift the questions to their actual target.
"So Hilda… How long have you and Rosa know Hector?" Asked Ruby.
"Well I met him back when I started my journey. He was traveling around by himself and ended up joining me." Said Hilda
"I met him a few years after these two finished their journey. Hector came back it Unova to help out with an evil group of people that were trying to take over." Said Rosa.
"So you've known him for a long time?" Asked Ruby.
"Yea." Said Both trainers.
"Anything interesting you can tell us about him?" Asked Yang.
"Well I can't think of anything.. Wait! I know!" Said Rosa as she was about to say something but Hilda cut her off.
"I have one!" Said Hilda. "It's about a nickname that was given to him."
"What was it?" Asked Weiss.
"The Matchmaker." Said Hilda.
"Tell the story now!" Said Yang who looked like she was about to start laughing.
"Well Hector loves Shiping. When he was younger he used to do it with real people." Explained Hilda.
"Isn't that, I don't know a bit extreme?" Asked Weiss.
"It is, but i'm pretty sure he still does it. Anyway, whenever he made a pairing it would always become true!" Said Hilda.
"What? How?" Asked Blake.
"No idea but a way to prove it would be…. hmmm…. Was there ever a time when Hector said something like "I knew this would happen" or "Falling into place"?" Asked Hilda.
Everyone nodded.
"Well that means that his ship was sailing and he helped make it happen." Explained Hilda.
Everyone thought about it and soon was laughing. All except Ruby who though over all of the things that brought her and Penny together, Hector putting them on a team to see what the explosions were, Hector setting up the teams for the mission in Vale, and how he got Penny to stay with them.
"Hector was the matchmaker in my relationship…." Said Ruby.
Everyone looked over at Ruby who looked like she was about to fall over. Yang caught her as Ruby said. "Has my entire relationship been a lie?"
"No." Said Hilda. "Hector never does anything like this unless he can tell that there are feelings there. He does it when he knows there's a possible connection to be made."
Ruby regained the color in her face. "Thank Oum.." Ruby got up and sat down.
"Anything else?" Asked Blake
"Nothing I can think about… OH, if you scratch him on the forearm he will either laugh a lot or pass out." Said Hilda. Rosa looked at Hilda from the corner of her eye and saw that Hilda shook her head no.
"Good to know." Said Blake as she smirked.
"Why are you girls asking us all these questions about Hector?" Asked Rosa.
"No reason….." Said Team Rwby.
"One of you have a crush on him." Said Rosa as Blake stiffened.
"Blake, you don't need to be so nervous, Hector is a laid back guy." Said Hilda as she patted the girl on her back.
"Thanks…." Said Blake as she smiled
"Now we have to go get some rest. Thanks for the good time, see you girls later." Said Hilda
"I'll guide you two back." Said Ruby.
"It's alright we can make it back." Said Rosa as the two girls left the dorm.
Once they were out of earshot Rosa asked Hilda a question.
"Why didn't you tell them about that?"
"I didn't say anything because Hector would kill me and he has his own problems. He doesn't need more with people that don't even know what happened." Said Hilda as the two walked back to the room that Hector had sent them a message.
(Trainer room)
As Hilda and Rosa entered the room they saw that Hector was sitting in a chair, writing in a journal.
"Do you really still have that thing?" Asked Hilda as she sat on her new bed.
Hector put the jornal in a box and locked it up.
"Old habits are hard to get rid of Hilda. You should know that better than anyone." Said Hector as he smirked and pushed Hilda's bag, which spilled wrappers of chocolate.
"The fact that our bags can hold 3 fishing rods, a bike and tables, is kind of scary, but for you to have yours actually spilling wrappers should be a bit concerning for your health." Said Hector
"Alright I get it." Said Hilda as she laid down on her bed, pulling out another piece of chocolate.
"Did the girls explain anything?" Asked Hector.
"We know what this world is about and how to survive it. We also found out a few sad things like how there are only four cities in this world and the we learned more about Grimm." Explained Rosa.
"Did they ask anything about me?" Asked Hector looking up from his journal.
"We told them about your nick-name Matchmaker." Said Rosa.
Hector just put his hand up to his face and sighed. "Why did you tell them about that?"
"Hey, it was either that or we tell them about what happened at Geosenge town." Said Hilda.
Hector tensed up. "Fine. I'll be happier if they know about Matchmaker instead of that."
"Good." Said Rosa as she got ready for bed.
'Those two are a bit of a problem….' Said Darkrai.
"They are fine. Plus I feel like we have other matters to attend to." Said Hector as the he also got into bed.
(Outside)
"Is there anything new to report?" Asked a radio.
"The other two are in the room now. They do not seem like threats but that doesn't speak for their pokemon. All targets are sleeping as well" Said the man who was watching Hector as a hawk.
"We will be waiting to hear anything new soldier. Keep us posted"" Said the radio as it was turned off.
"Why am I even doing this?" He asked himself. "This kid is nothing more threatening than the others here. What makes him special?"
"Many things." Said a woman as she walked up behind him.
"Madam Cinder?!" Said The man as he bowed.
"At ease. Now tell me. Has anything new been found out about Minawa?" Asked Cinder.
"I saw a few things of interest." Said the soldier "Minawa talks to himself a lot. He has a journal that he keeps away from others under lock and key in a box. He also likes tacos. That isn't anything important but I found it interesting Ma'am." Said the soldier.
"So he has secrets…. Good." Said Cinder as she looked at Hector sleeping from the roof of her dorm. "Soldier you may now leave."
"I have to stay ma'am. I'm also here on orders from Marcus." Said the soldier.
'Is that what he calls himself? Oh well' Thought Cinder. "Very well. Keep me posted if anything interesting happens." Said Cinder as she walked away and back to her room.
"That woman still scares me…" Said the soldier as he looked back at Hector. Who was missing from his bed.
"Where did you go?" Asked the Soldier as he looked around the room, Hilda and Rosa were already asleep. Hector was the only one missing.
"See anything interesting?" Said a dark looming voice.
"AHH" Screamed the soldier as he pointed a gun at the voice. A hand shot up and crushed the barrel.
"No need to be violent." Said Hector. "I just need you to come with me."
"I would rather die than help the enemy!" Said the soldier as he punched Hector in the face. Hector didn't even budge.
"Ya know, that could be arranged." Said Hector as his hands shot up, put the man to sleep and dragged him away.
(Morning)
Hector walked back into his room from a long night.
"Where have you been?!" Asked Hilda as she threw a pillow at Hector.
"I was busy with stuff. Anyway we have classes to get to and people to teach" said Hector as he dodges the pillow and started leading them to the auditorium.
"So who will be teaching today?" Asked Hilda.
"Well we can't start anything about combat since the students don't know much about that, so either me or Rosa will be teaching everyone" Said Hector.
"I wanna teach!" Said Rosa.
"All right but just so you know we are taking a trip to the forest that's nearby, so don't start anything until we get there." Said Hector as they walked in
The auditorium was empty.
"Where is everyone?" Asked Hilda.
"Everyone is at the camp for the pokemon. I told them to go on ahead so they can be early to class, and it looks like they will be." Said Ozpin
…
The three trainers thanked Ozpin for the info and ran outside.
"Everyone is already there!" Said Rosa as she saw the airships coming back.
"We need a fast way to get there!" Said Hector.
"I have an idea." Said Hilda as she brought out a pokeball and smiled.
"Where are those three!" Said a student who was in the forest with Goodwith.
"They will be here any minute, calm down children!" Said Goodwitch who was becoming mad that they were late.
But the student did anything but remain calm.
"GRIMM!" Screamed a student who saw a giant dragon-like creatures coming towards them
"Remain calm and get out your weapons!" Said Goodwitch as she looked at the creature. It was jet back and unlike any other grimm she had seen in her life.
The students were about to attack when a familiar face poked out from the creatures back.
"SORRY WE'RE LATE!" Screamed Hector as they flew down
"Mr. Minawa what is the meaning of this?!" Asked Goodwitch.
"I was busy with something." Said Hector
"No not that! I mean about this!" Said Goodwitch as she pointed to the giant dragon.
"Who's the most badass dragon in the world! You are!" Said Hilda as she was petting the dragon's head
"I am! I am!" Said the dragon
Hilda, Rosa, and the dragon stopped.
"Since when could Zekrom talk?" Asked Rosa.
"Since you guys came to this world." Said Hector "I don't know how but pokemon can talk"
"Ok" said the three.
"Now!" Said Hilda getting everyone's attention."We are today going to be talking about your bond with your pokemon! We are in the forest so you can see your pokemon show off your full power!"
"YEA" said everyone
"WAIT! Don't actually use your full power, we don't need anyone getting hurt or alert the grimm to our location" Said Hilda..
"Yay" Said everyone a bit less amused but still excited.
Everyone with a pokemon started talking with it and asking it to use it's attacks.
"Now for everyone else." Said Rosa as she got the attention of the hunters that didn't have pokemon. "For now all of you will be with me learning about the pokemon here at the camp!"
Everyone else went with Rosa into the camp to see the pokemon.
"So it looks like half have pokemon and the other half don't. That's good." Said Hector
"Hector!" Said Zoroark as he walked up.
"Hey Zoroark. Learn anything new?" Asked Hector.
"The guy finally talked " Said Zoroark "He said that a guy named Marcus sent him on a mission to scout us out."
"Marcus….. I don't know anyone by that name so it must be a fake name" Said Hector
"Also I got a bit more info on this Cinder person." Said Zoroark. "Apparently she's at the school, undercover as a student"
Hector smiled "Thats good to know. What did you do with him?"
"Gardevoir and Lucario turned him over to Ozpin and they are on their way here" Said Zoroark.
"Good" Said Hector as the two watched and laughed at the students tried to learn.
As the two watched a pokemon watched from the shadows.
Said creature jumped out and tried to attack the two of them.
Hector jumped out of the way and Zoroark returned the attack. The two went back and forth until they knocked eachother away.
"Who do you think you ar- Zora?" Asked Zoroark
The purple haired Zoroark looked back and smiled "Good to know you still remember me Zoro."
"B-but how?!" Asked Zoroark
"I have no idea where I am but can you and Hector come with me?" Asked Zora
"Sure lead the way." Said Hector as the two followed Zora
That's all for now folks! Not much else to say beside apologise again for the lack of a chapter in about a month.
SORRY!
School sucks.
