A Harsh Reality Ch. 35: Recovery
Okay, something that I do need to tell you about how the DustWolf was so good, but other stuff will naturally resolve itself. The actual DustWolf holds about the same intelligence as every other Beowolf. It has a pack mentality, and a hunters instinct. So it wasn't actually that smart, Grimm is. More details in this chapter about how that works, but that's something that should be clarified. As for how I can do all the OC's and concepts that I do, I just pull stuff out of my ass that I think would be cool/OP. Finally, the reason I stick in the warnings is so that you know where to skip over if you don't want to read lemon stuff. I should probably stick in a warning after too so you know when you can start reading it again. Ah well, always next time. Remember that 120/80 thing I said would be hard? Well, y'all got me to 125/90 so thank you so much for that, even if that does mean that I have to write more lemon. Ah well, here's the chapter you wonderful people.
Torchwick watched as the black cloud that was Grimm form at the front of the ruins. Since forming up their allegiance, Grimm had made it clear that most of their meetings would take place by the ruins. Simply put, they would comply. Grimm and them wanted the same goal. Plus, Grimm was offering immunity for them if it was successful. That was an offer they couldn't refuse.
The DustWolf is gone, it said proudly. But that hunter base is destroyed beyond repair. And, I learned that a small DustWolf causes that much problems. The time to increase will become more.
"But how will you handle it?" Torchwick asked. "Controlling that one Grimm made you almost completely gone."
You fool, I only had one Grimm that I had to control. Something as powerful as dust needed to be watched over, and I was there to do so. I can still control multiple Grimm, but I only had to control one. We need five more to get out there. I will craft a Boarbatusk, two Ursai, and two more Beowolves. Let us see how far I can stretch our resources.
Beacon Academy: Professor Ozpin's Office
The four stunned members of team RWBY silently entered into their headmaster's office, and took a seat. Ozpin watched them as they entered, and carefully studied their faces.
"Is the Grimm taken care of?" Ozpin asked.
"Yeah," Ruby said lightly, rubbing her head. She had woken up from her concussion while on the bullhead, and her team had filled her in on the details of what happened after. She didn't believe it when Yang first told her, but then Weiss and Blake backed her up. It was something completely bizarre, something that couldn't be true.
"Then why do you four look like you failed?" Ozpin continued.
"Because we did," Ruby said quietly. "I-I was knocked out, so I think it's best if someone else tells you."
"Tells me what?" Ozpin asked, his frustration building.
"We killed the Grimm," Weiss said, choosing to bail her girlfriend out. "And when we did, something happened. Some kind of a black cloud with a red and yellow glow formed, and then it... It spoke or something along those lines." Ozpin leaned back in his chair, and just looked straight ahead. "It called itself-."
"Grimm," Ozpin finished. "You saw Grimm." Ozpin stood, and walked over to the window and surveyed the damages that were still being repaired around Beacon. "The Legend of Grimm is not a fairy tale, just as I assumed and feared." He gently picked up a stack of papers, and pulled out one of them. He tossed it to the four girls, and then walked back over to the window. "In there is what I was able to write about the Legend of Grimm {A/N}. It is everything that I saw, and it's the best source for it. I suggest you read up. If Torchwick was involved in the robbery, that means that they have all been recruited by it. It's going to use what it's learned to destroy man. All hands are now on deck."
"But we killed the DustWolf," Yang said confidently. "We killed the Taituo, the Releo, Teriphile, and the Ritigoru. What's the issue?"
"A Beowolf is one of the most generic form of Grimm {A/N}," Ozpin said, his voice sounding distant. "A Beowolf, or an Ursa, or even a Boarbatusk are all the three most basic forms of Grimm. Can you imagine a Nevermore or a Death Stalker with that same level of power? Or how about this, think of the struggles you had with the Taituo and Teriphile. No, this is going to evolve into something much larger." He sighed, and went to sit back down.
"Tomorrow is going to be a special assembly for the entire school," he started. "I will find the footage from the hunter base, if anything exists from the destruction. I will also pull up the footage from the DustWolf attack on the dust mine. You are all dismissed for now. Try to live your lives normally." Team RWBY nodded, and went to leave.
The door closed, and Ozpin pulled out his scroll. All that was left was a simple message from Summer, written before she had died.
It's back. The Legend is back, and it's coming after me. Protect Ruby, she might be the key to this problem.
It all made too much sense now. A simple warning that should of have been addressed when Summer died, but one that no one understood until then. The unfortunate harshness of this current reality was that they were under prepared.
Team RWBY's Dorm
The door opened up, and the four girls wordlessly entered into the room. Weiss, Ruby, and Yang did so because they were caught off guard. They weren't prepared for the idea of the story, the one that they had heard so many times before, to be real. It scared them. The main tales that they had heard indicated that Grimm had only been defeated off of a surprise. Something about killing one of the Grimm that it had done. How would they defeat it?
Blake was more prepared. She had suspected something while looking over her report and the recent Grimm encounters. Plus, the White Fang used to talk about Grimm like a god of some sort. Something that had the ability to increase the powers of creatures, beats. This talk only came up after they shifted to a new leader, which worried Blake. Would they ally themselves with Grimm when the time came around? Only time would begin to tell. To pass the time, Blake pulled out the file.
All four girls read through it, and a few things that weren't mentioned in any versions that they had ever read stood out to them. The first, the lack of names. It was one of the rare things that was never comprehensive from story to story. Alexis would become Aleya from one story to the next. The second, how Grimm was defeated. It placed too much of itself into one Grimm, and when that Grimm was killed, it was forced to release it's energy so that it could be contained. With so much of it contained, it was almost powerless. Everyone's best guess was that what little remained continued to work with the Grimm that were created in an attempt to lower man's numbers. The final detail, the weapon that had killed the Nevermore, a scythe. None of them were entirely positive as to whether or not they become the first to discover Grimm, and then this detail happens to be evident. But none of them were willing to say anything.
Yang, the slowest reader, finally placed aside her files, and just shook her head.
"I can't believe this," she mumbled. "The Legend of Grimm is a real thing, and it's killed real people. How are we going to attack something that's just a black cloud that happens to glow red and yellow?"
"We don't," Ruby said instantly. "According to this, that's impossible. We'll have to just contain it again, and hope that it'd stay like that."
"I'm with Ruby," Weiss said. "Containment seems to be the best, and only, course of action." Blake just wordlessly nodded, and then leaned back in her bed. Yang sensed her partner's distress, and climbed down with her. It was going to be a long day.
Ancient Ruins
Torchwick, who had somehow managed to gain the main go between for the other three and Grimm, walked over to where the cloud rested.
"You sent a messenger?" Torchwick asked. A Beowolf had come leaping into their base, and the meaning couldn't of have been clearer.
Yes, Grimm's voice came. I have crafted a new Grimm. Only this time, I simply need you to see it.
"Why is that?" Torchwick asked.
Because, you imbecile, this one isn't recognizable on sight. It also would help if you could somehow release these somewhere else, speed up the mayhem. Torchwick just nodded, afraid that it might try and kill him. That wouldn't be hard to do for Grimm either. Are you aware of Rapier Wasps? Torchwick nodded, remembering how nasty those little Grimm were. They packed nothing lethal, but one sting could hurt terribly for days. Allow me to introduce you to it's successor. A small mosquito flew over, and landed on one of the pillars next to Torchwick.
"I hope you don't mind me asking," he said cautiously. "What is this and how will it help us?"
This, is a Hypomos. It's my play off of what you humans view as annoying mosquitoes. You hate it when they "bite" you, so let's ramp that up a little bit. It's non lethal, because toxin isn't my specialty. But it does have a few things that might be able to keep some people at bay for a long time. And better yet, soft targets.
Team RWBY's Dorm
Weiss finally stood up, and let out a deep sigh.
"I can't sit here with just this," she said. "I'm going to the library. Would any of you care to join me?" Ruby instantly stood up, and looked back at Blake and Yang. Yang watched over Blake carefully, and saw her not even make a move. This was completely out of character for Blake. Something was off with her, and now it was Yang's turn to play detective.
"You guys go ahead," the brawler said, her voice implying everything that she needed it too. "We'll stay behind." Weiss and Ruby just nodded, and left the room.
As soon as the door closed, Yang dropped down to where Blake was.
"What's wrong?" She asked, wrapping her arm around the Faunus.
"Nothing," Blake said, her voice sounding incredibly distant.
"That's not nothing," Yang said instantly. "Please, what's wrong? I know it's only been a little bit, but you've been completely gone since Grimm. Please, let me help you." Blake nodded, and then sighed.
"When I was on the streets, it became clear to me that a Faunus didn't fit in anywhere. We weren't a beast, but nor were we a man. We didn't fit any stereotype that anyone wanted to put on us, so we just became killers. The Creatures of Grimm became the number one reason that Faunus' were kicked out of normal society, so I have a harbored hatred for them anyways. But after the leader change in the White Fang, the Legend of Grimm became a popular conversation topic. I hated the idea that it could be real, because that would mean that there's a single source for the reason that I'm an outcast. Now that I've seen it, I'm afraid. How are we going to stop this thing?" Yang just lightly kissed her girlfriend, and gently rested her hand on Blake's cheek.
"We'll find a way," Yang said softly. "Don't worry." Blake suddenly pulled Yang in for a longer kiss, and just held it there.
WARNING: A CITRUSY FRUIT IS INBOUND
Blake let her hand trail down to Yang's chest, and just started to lightly caress her breast. Yang moaned softly, and Blake kept going. Yang broke the kiss, and then followed her partner's lead, and found Blake's chest. As opposed to going for that, she let her hand go down further. She found exactly what she wanted, and gently slid her hand into Blake's underwear. Blake let out a sudden gasp, and Yang began a slow pumping motion.
Blake began to have difficulties keeping up her motion, and that attempt. She took off the first article of clothing in the encounter, and tossed Yang's shirt and jacket to the ground. She then thanked the fact that Yang never wore a bra, and latched onto her right breast with her mouth. Soon, it was Yang who was giving out short gasps of breath. She made a decision, and pushed Blake onto her back.
She lowered her head down towards Blake's thighs, and moved in. Blake suddenly let out a loud moan as Yang's tongue entered her. Yang had managed to only remove her girlfriend's underwear, giving her perfect access to the most pleasurable part of her girlfriend. With Yang's expert tongue, Blake soon reached climax. She let out a very loud moan {one that they were positive someone must have heard}, and gushed out fluids. Blake fell back, and started to move towards Yang.
It's Over
"It's fine," Yang said instantly. "This was to comfort you. How do you feel now?"
"Better," Blake replied, smiling widely. "Thanks Yang." She laid back, and let her girlfriend pull her in a hug. Yang always knew how to break Blake's exterior, no matter how hard she tried to keep it up.
What neither girl noticed, or what both of them were too preoccupied to notice, was the tiny mosquito on the wall. It was the Hypomos that Grimm had crafted, and Grimm was currently in the mind of the tiny bug. A moment of weakness, vulnerability, openness. The Faunus girl had left herself available for Grimm to plant something in her mind. A seed that would sprout eventually. Damage done there, time to explore a little more.
It flew underneath the door frame, and quietly worked it's way into the halls. It spotted something of interest, and quickly waited.
Ruby and Weiss walked down the halls without much worry. Nothing else may of have existed on Grimm, but plenty existed on the Grimm that existed. If they couldn't learn how to fight Grimm, maybe they could try and stop the monsters it made.
Ruby felt a small prick on her neck, and she quickly swatted at it. She turned in that direction, and watched as a small black cloud floated off. Wait, a small black cloud? That seemed familiar.
"Something wrong?" Weiss asked, noticing her partner's hesitation.
"No," Ruby said, shaking her head wildly. "I just got bit by a mosquito, that's all." Weiss nodded, and kept moving forward. Ruby did too, but she kept looking behind her. Almost sensing something off with her neck.
End: Fixed the lemon warning. So I took yesterday off, so please no one hate me for it. Okay, first A/N, the Legend of Grimm thing is the one shot that I wrote called Legend of Grimm. This Ozpin and myself have similar minds. Second A/N, I just default to Beowolves so I thought I'd include that. I am happy to say that I did purchase a ticket to RTX {or Volume 2 premiere of RWBY} so if you have your ticket or plan on getting one you can come and meet me, which will be so underwhelming then what it is that you think of me, no matter what. Yeah, questions, comments, follows, favorites, and feedback is appreciated.
