I do not own RWBY
Long time no see
When ghost was assigned to keep an eye on the tournament he wasn't expecting much. Sure the fights where good and entertaining he was however sertend that he could take them all and win within minutes. The boring thing was that he had to act like a real civilian cheering for his favourite fighter. He really liked that Mercury kid.
Of course things got out of hand earlier today when Drake girlfriend basically put the kid in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. He was tempted to go and explore a bit learn the facts about what happened and hear both sides story, but he couldn't leave his post. Orders are orders so he stayed, walking around a little bit getting to know some people.
He however never expected to witness a dismemberment during one of the fights. Even less that it would be a robot and that it would be the invincible girl that would do it. But here it was right in front of him lay the remains of the robot, the girl who did it looking at her with a face of shock.
Most people by now have started running to the exits, the alarm of a Grimm invasion clearly audible. And then there was that speech from that women that just send chills down his spine. The information they got said that the attack would take place during the finals but that clearly is incorrect. So now there is only one option left, to fight.
His semblance makes him able to use the shadows to move but gives him also the option to store a couple of things in it, like his weapon. He is fairly sertend that if he helps the students infront of him now they won't recognise him and won't try to fight him. So what, being the good guy for once won't hurt anyone.
The kids are doing a good job on their own, they have severely injured the nevermore but that also means he is even more pist off. Jumping over the railing he starts running at the big turkey, turning his machete into machine gun mode and firing at it to get its attention. Succeeding in doing so it turns his head so that it can see his new attacker.
Changing his weapon back he ducks under the incoming wing. Putting all his strength into a jump he jumps over the creatures head, by doing so he succeeds in cutting out its right eye. Landing on the other side he quickly turns around and shoots the left eye. Completely blinded, the Grimm starts screeching and swinging his wings around damaging the arena.
Looking at the students who are staring at him with wide eyes he just shrugs. "I already did my part, finish it." He tells them, it only took a minute or so for the fifteen to finish it of. "That's what I'm talking about! Fuck yes!" 'Ghost' yells before realising that he is now the centre of attention. "Oh uhm...hello there, I am...Bob, Bob Brown. Huntsman from Vacuo."
"I recognise you from..." But before the youngest of the bunch can finish her sentence two veteran huntsman interrup him. "Students you need to go and leave this area immediately, we will take over from here." The oldest one of the two says.
"Yes and...who are you?" The second one with green hair asks 'Bob'. "I am a huntsman from Vacuo...I will go with the kids, make sure they make it to the ships." He quickly says trying to get as far away from the huntsmen. "Alright...kids let's go!" He shouts at the the others who haven't said a thing.
Knowing there is no room for discussion they all nod and start running after their new 'teacher'. "Wait hold on! Where do I know you from!" Ruby asks him, using her semblance to catch up with him. "Listen up kid you will need to go on without me. I have other business to attend, and to answer your question. Long live Humanities hand front." He says to them making all of them take a step back before he vanishes right in front of them.
"Well...I now know from where I knew him." Ruby says receiving blank stares from all the others. "What was a trapper agent doing in the audience?" Jaune asks the question most of them have been thinking. "Does it matter right now, we have to get to Beacon." Sun says, they all agree with him and continue running.
Later in Vale with 'the poet'
"P-please help me!" A young woman screams from the top of her apartment building. Surrounded by Grimm she has no where left to go and accepts her death. Only for a man with what appears to be a mask kill all Grimm and open the door that was stuck for her. She says a quick thank you to the stranger before bolting into the building.
Looking around 'the poet' can see smoke rising from all over Vale. The Atlisian army cruisers shot out of the sky by one of their own and Grimm filling the sky. The only thing however he can think about right now is. 'I warned you.'
Now there is only one thing left to do, let the people know who their real protectors are. Taking out a camera he kept on his belt, he aims it at the city. He knows that from the moment he hits record the whole world will see what is happening. Thanks to a really helpful guy that works for the CCT in Atlas. He however also realises that he has to take of his mask so that people will understand him.
Taking it off in what feels like forever he can finnaly feel the wind touching his face again, or what is left of it. Half of his face is not recognisable because of burns. From his red hair is also almost nothing left. You can just make out his purple eyes. Shaking his head he focuses again and hits record.
"People of Remnant, this is what happens when you give animals the same rights as us. What did the citizens of Vale ever do to them!" He says, to emphasise his words he zooms in on a couple of White fang soldiers. Then quickly refocus on the burning city. "But out of this tragedy something good will come. This will be the day humanity starts taking back what is rightfully ours!"
"I am 'the poet' one of the red hands most loyal soldiers and I deliver you this message. Join us to put these muts in their place once and for all." Now filming a couple of Grimm about to rip apart a family, but they are saved by 'ghost' in trapper gear. "We couldn't stop this tragedy but we can avenge the people who died here tonight."
"So don't listen to the council or the military and join or cause!" He finishes, putting away the camera and putting on his mask again. Satisfied with his little speech he just gave, he looks to a nearby street and sees no one other then his former boss. General James Ironwood, together with a blonde woman and a tall guy with black hair and red eyes. "Well look who we have here."
Jumping from the roof and having his weapon in bow form he slowly walks up behind the tree. Right when he almost is scratching the generals back an Alfa Beowulf jumps in front of them and is about to take the ladies head off. Only for an arrow to hit the beast right between the eyes, killing it instantly. Stunned from what just happened they all look behind them to see a trapper standing behind them.
"Hello again general, missed me?" The trapper says looking directly at the general. Both Qrow and Glynda look at him demanding an answer about how he would know him. "I have no idea what you're talking about, now surrender!" He answers while gripping his pistol tighter. "Forgot about me already, you actually hurt my feelings."
"Shut up! I don't know who you are and I don't care. Now get out of our way we got more important things to do." Qrow answer instead of the general, making the trappers attention now change to him. "Hmm I see...don't worry Grimm reaper and Indigo are taking care of Beacon. You do know who the Grimm reaper is right?"
"Grimm reaper...Drake? He isn't...wow that kid can really lie." Qrow mutters under his breath, also Glynda can't believe that all this time they have been lied to.
"Now second try, look closely." The poet continues, seeing that he will properly never guess it he goes into a military stands and takes out his military barret. "Recognise me now." He says after removing his mask. "N-no t-this is impossible! Luitanent Mashiro is dead."
"No no no, my bullhead crashed that doesn't mean I died. My body was never recovered after all." The poet or Mashiro replies, looking behind him he sees a creep and shoots it in the head before facing the general again. "Nobody ever listened to me! And look what is happening now, not so peranoid after all." The general is at a loss of words so Glynda decides to take over.
"You where an Atlisian army luitanent? Why did you never return to your post?" She asks him trying to figure out the end game here. "Well I was going to but due to my injuries I wasn't able. My life was however saved by my master Edward Swart and he showed me the truth."
"Yeah yeah, what are you doing here?!" Qrow cuts in, starting to get annoyed. "Well the world now sees the real face of the White fang, so it's only logical that we take revenge." He answers, putting back on his mask and taking a couple of steps towards the tree of them.
"And besides, you are going to tell me everything about the maidens." He continues making all tree of them go wide eyed and all ask the same question. "How do you know about them?!" They all demand while getting into a fighting stance. "Orders from the big boss, now tell me."
"You really are crazy when you think we are going to tell you that." Goodwitch replies while gripping her riding crop tighter. "Okay then I could only try...what you think I can take on tree trained huntsman?" All tree of them are confused by his statement and drop their guard for a second.
Activating his semblance that slows down time he fires off an explosive arrow at Goodwitch who is standing in the middle. Seeing the arrow heading in the direction of his colleague, the general quickly jumps in fromt of her. The explosion completely drains his aura making him fly backwards and knocking him unconscious. Looking towards the one who fired, he is gone like he has never been there in the first place.
Looking back at the general they see that his robotic arm is gone. Running over to him Glynda tries to wake him up but with little success. Looking around for incoming danger Qrow decides that the trapper is gone but he can't shake the feeling that someone is watching them.
"We need to get him to a hospital now!" Glynda yells at Qrow who is helping the large man up. However looking ap at a nearby rooftop he sees another trapper with a machete on his back. He is holding what looks like an anti air rocket and aiming it at Ironwood ship. Before he can do anything about it the man fires the rocket, hitting the ship in the engine compartment. Minutes later it falls down and expolds, taking an entire city block with it.
"There where people living there dipshit!" Qrow yells at the man who fired. He just turns around and drops the rocket launcher. "Collateral damage." Is his reply before vanishing, turning back around Qrow helps the general who by now regained consciousness. "W-we n-need to get t-to Beacon." He is able to stamper out before falling to the ground.
"You are right, I can only imagine how it is there right now. Rogue robots, Grimm the White fang and to make matters worse the red hand also apparently." Goodwitch says while helping the general back to his feet. Qrow just looks in the direction of Beacon. "Let's just hope oz can get the situation under control."
"Qrow go, with your semblance you will be there in no time." Glynda says while clearing struggling to support Ironwood. "No I will stay here with you guys, let's just hope oz knows what he's doing." He answers, helping her support the general and start moving towards Beacon.
Meanwhile with Indigo
"Bang"
Standing on top of the Beacon academy dormitory building Indigo is killing White fang and Grimm left and right. The atlisian army robots whent offline after the last atlisian ship whent down. However Indigo had something different on his mind right now.
'God damm it Drake, where are you?!' He mentally yells at his friend. Everything was going fine until he entered the cafeteria and Indigo lost sight of him. All this time he has stayed here and killed as many enemies as possible who tried to enter the cafeteria. Now however his instincts tell himlike to duck.
Doing just that he is able to avoid the claws of a griffin. Standing back up he tries to bring up his rifle as quickly as possible. Only for it to be smacked away by one of the grimms paws, landing on the other side of the roof. Before he is able to do anything else he is hit in the chest, making him fly backwards.
Luckily for him he is wearing the standard red hand armour plate, because his aura is already almost depleted. Standing back up, only to be hit again and almost fall of the roof. He tries to bring up his pistol and shoot it in the face. However the Grimm is faster and tackles him to the ground, knocking the pistol out of his hand.
Opening his mouth the griffin tries to bide of his head, the only thing stopping it is Indigo right arm. Reaching for his knife with his left he gets it and stabs it in the left eye multiple times. Screeching it backs away from him and tries to fly away, seeing this Indigo dives for his pistol and shoots it in the back of the head.
"Well...g-god damm my weak aura." Sitting up straight he catches his breath before walking over to his rifle and looking true the scope. Only to see Drake walk out of the building covered in blood and eyes screaming bloody murder. He doesn't stay there long before he starts running in the direction of the leaving White fang bullheads.
"Well shit...what the fuck happened?"
The end
