Greetings, huntresses and huntsmen from across the World, welcome to the next chapter of RWBYS: Heroes. I hope you will all enjoy it as much as I had writing it and now on to the reviews.
girani4: No, I wasn't... They were actually based on some of my own high school experience's, though a bit embellished. And who else in my stories is such a huge Batman fanboy?
Lord-of-the-Abyss1: Okay bye.
Anyways, now story time.
Morgenstern was standing on the balcony of his fortress, looking down on the blue marble known as Remnant.
"Something is troubling you, isn't it?", a voice said.
Morgenstern didn't say anything as the woman next to him leaned on the balcony, "A rhetorical question. I would know if your troubled.", she continued, "Is the thing troubling you because of meeting a girl who possessed the same powers as you... or because of the conversation with your mother?"
The memory of his meeting his mother still fresh on his mind. He had kept an eye on that Alexis Morgenstern girl. When she had spotten him watching over her, she once again hugged him, calling the Dark Messiah her 'fairy godmother'.
His mother had come to find her granddaughter. She had told the girl to leave, allowing mother and son to speak for the fist time in decades.
"...The Worlds are rotten and those who are making it rot deserve to die. Someone has to do it.", Morgenstern said to his mother, "So why not me. Every action I have taken. No matter how violent or how cruel. Even if it means sacrificing my own mind and soul. Was for the greater good."
"My god...", Gia said, staring up at her son, "You may actually be completely crazy."
Morgenstern just stared down at his mother, into her emerald green eyes, "I had hoped we could be something like a family again.", he spoke, "I hoped you would share my vision for the future."
"I dreamed of you as an adult for so long. Wondering what man you would become with the power you would have... Here you are...", Gia said, the same flame of determination she had passed on to her eldest son, "And I am so disappointed."
"You always thought of something to justify your actions.", the woman next to Morgenstern said, "But for some reason you can't right? You can justify your actions against your children, your friends, the woman you love, but you can't justify the atrocities you have committed to your own mother."
Morgenstern placed his hands on the balcony railing, leaning on them. "What do you want me to say. That I have become a monster who ruled over an empire of bones. That I betrayed my friends. That I killed you.", he said, pushing himself off the railing and turning to face the woman.
"Yes Lily! I killed you! I wanted to kill the child you carried!", Morgenstern shouted to Lily Skywalker, "And I hate myself for all that I have done!"
He was panting heavy, looking down at the woman before another voice forced his attention away.
"Lord Morgenstern.", Cinder said, walking towards him, "Adam is on his way to accomplish his mission."
For a moment, Morgenstern looks around, like he's forgotten where he is, and what he's doing. "That's... That's good.", he said, walking passed her, "Then soon we can move on to the next part of the plan."
Back in SCC, Ruby as playing a game of Remnant against Avaro. The game has been pretty much even but Ruby's forces has taken the blunt of the action.
"Alright, time to turn this game around!", Ruby said drawing her card. Looking over it, something else caught her eye, "Is that the Bat-signal?"
Everyone turned to look out the window and indeed, in the clouds above the village the distinct Bat symbol could be seen shined on them.
"Uhm, I need to go iron my dog.", McGrath said, folding his laptop and running out of the cafe.
"I need to do a lot of homework.", Sweetie Belle said, running after her big bro.
The little girl just ran past Blake, who has been looking for her boyfriend, had just entered. She spotted Skywalker standing near the bar, talking with his cousin. Greetings the other, she walked over to him. "Did you see the Bat-signal, Jason?", she asked, "Pretty weird, right?"
"Oh, sorry, Blake didn't see you there.", he said, "Is there something you need?"
"My parents are going to give a speech of how we are going to take the White Fang back in a few days.", Blake said, "And I thought maybe we could spend some boyfriend and girlfriend time..."
"Sorry, Blake. I can't.", Skywalker said, rubbing the back of his head, "I am going bowling with my cousin's and Toshi."
For some reason she looked a bit angry at this, "Fine.", and with that she left the cafe.
"Cousin, I might not have a lot of luck with my LI. But I think you should go after her.", Ethan advised.
Skywalker was about to do just that when in a yellow blur, his uncle Henry appeared.
"Hello there.", he said cheerfully.
Almost on instinct, Skywalker turned around telling him, "General Kenobi."
For some odd reason, the uncle got a broad prideful smile on his face, "You are strong and wise.", Henry said, placing a hand on his nephew's shoulder, "And I am very proud of you."
"Welp, dad finally has someone who would do that meme with him.", Ethan mumbled, sipping his drink, as he watched his cousin disappear in a blur of white.
"So great we humans can now communicate solely through memes.", Ciaran said, leaning against the bar.
"H-How did you get in here?", Ethan said startled.
"Through the door? Duh!", Ciaran said, rolling his eyes, pushing himself off and walking to Winter.
"Where is Alexis?", Sutakira asked, looking behind his uncle as if expecting her to appear at any moment.
"Oh, Kendall is bringing her over.", Henry said, "I just wanted to see if you guys where all here."
Inside the White Fang headquarters, Taurus kneels before the High Leader of the White Fang, Sienna Khan.
She is a female, tiger Faunus with orange eyes, dark complexion and wild black, chin length hair with an asymmetrical bob style. Her Faunus trait manifested as an extra pair of ears, and her body was adorned with numerous tattoos resembling tiger stripes.
She is seen dressed with a form fitting black dress with light green accents on the rims of the outfit.
Sienna is sitting on a throne flanked by two guards on either side of her. "... Adam. I'm not going to repeat myself, so I want you to listen when I tell you that the White Fang will not attack Haven Academy.", she told him, "Nor will the White Fan joined the likes of Morgenstern."
"High Leader Khan, I am begging you.", Taurus began.
"You should beg for forgiveness and nothing else!", Sienna interrupted him, "And you should be more grateful your punishment was not more severe. You are a symbol for many in our organization, but that doesn't make you infallible."
"I was merely trying to follow your example, High Leader.", Taurus said, "Strength and unwavering conviction. The humans have seen that strength now."
"I was one of the first to suggest violence where violence was necessary. Peace bred complacency and acceptance of our place in the world. I will not allow humanity to push us down without pushing them back." Sienna said, "But the destruction of the Huntsman Academies and joining forces with that mad god crosses a line! The loss of the CCT has brought global communication to a crawl! And the White Fang is more of a target now than ever before!"
"You have justified humanity's campaign against us, and for what!? Empty promises from a god of evil? A god who does whatever pleased him! Morgenstern death and destruction is not an examples of strength, Adam. It's an example of your talents being diminished by shortsightedness!"
"If you want to know more about the Dark Messiah, then why not talk to him yourself?", Taurus said, rising up just as the door opened.
To their surprise, Hazel Rainart enters, Sienna rises from her seat and her guards all point their spears toward Hazel.
"What is this!?" Sienna demanded to know.
"Apologies.", Hazel said, "I don't aim to cause any trouble."
"You've brought a human to this location?", Sienna turned to Taurus, "This is grounds for execution!"
"I have no idea what he is doing here!", Taurus protested.
Sienna sits back down, her guards still pointing their spears towards Hazel. "You don't like me. You have no reason to like me.", the tall man began., "But you don't have to like me to get the results you want."
"I'm starting to doubt either of you fully comprehend what it is that I want.", Sienna said, "I want humanity to fear the Faunus, to know that we demand respect! I do not want to start a war with the humans that we cannot win!
"That's where you're wrong.", Taurus said, as he begins to advance toward Sienna while continuing to speak, "With the help of the Dark Messiah, we can win a war against the humans. Because the Faunus are the dominant species of this World. We're better than humans. We have everything humans have and more. Humans shouldn't just fear the Faunus, they should serve the Faunus."
"You have allowed this Dark Messiah to twist your mind. I've had enough of this conversation for tonight.", Sienna said, "Guards, take them away."
But to her shock, the guards remain stationary.
"I will admit, Sienna, you were right about my popularity. My followers in Vale already see me as the true High Leader. And many here in Mistral feel the same.", Taurus said as four armed White Fang soldiers enter through the main doors and stop, pointing their weapons into the room as Sienna rises to her feet.
Four more soldiers reveal themselves with their weapons drawn, two on each side of the room, as Sienna's guards point their weapons at her. Sienna quickly judges the situation, though taken by surprise.
Her eyes narrow darkly, "If you think I'll just step aside and follow beneath you, you're wrong."
Taurus was about to impale her on his blade, but before the metal could pierce Sienna's flesh, a stream of red energy appeared from the sky, creating a line between the two.
Everyone looked up to see a humanoid floating above them, arm's crossed, his eyes still glowing red from the after effect.
"You.", Taurus spitted out as he stared Skywalker down.
The man was unmistakably Jason Skywalker but something was off about him. Instead of his usual outfit, he was dressed in a black form fitting armor uniform with white boots, and a clear white cape connected to his shoulders, floated around him.
"Stand back High Leader Weiss.", Hazel told her, "Things are about to get messy." as Skywalker landed between the two.
Taurus roared, unleashing a sudden flurry of strikes against Skywalker but he deftly evaded them, not moving from his spot. With a single shove from Skywalker, the bull Faunus was send flying into a wall across the room.
Sliding to the ground, Taurus could just see Skywalker slowly walk towards him. The Faunus loyal to Taurus charged at the man in black. With a single glare of his glowing red eyes, they found themselves cut in half by his Heat Vision.
"T-This isn't Skywalker...", Taurus thought standing up, "I know that alien... He doesn't kill... Not willing or with no other option available..."
In a blur of motion, Taurus felt a strong hand grip his face as his feet began to dangle off the floor.
Being so close to his opponent, Taurus could see the deathly white skin, covered with deep red and purple veins. The sclerae of his faintly glowing amber eyes are jet black.
"The Worlds need people like me, Taurus. But do they need scum like you?", Skywalker taunted, intensifying his grip on the Faunus face, "Now tell me... Do you bleed?"
With a sickening crack, Skywalker painted the wall's with blood and grey matter. "...I guess you do bleed.", he quipped, throwing the lifeless corpse casually aside, Hazel looks down at Taurus body before returning his sight to Sienna.
"I hope you understands what this means, Sienna?", Skywalker said, walking towards her, cupping her face with the same hand he used to kill Taurus, "And just to make sure you don't forget to whom your life belongs to now. One of us will come visit you from time to time, High Leader."
He placed a kiss on the red tip on her forehead, before letting go of her face covered in Taurus blood and turning to Hazel.
"When were you planning on telling me about this?", Hazel said as the two left the room, "I don't appreciate you withholding things like that."
"Lady Salem was concerned with Sienna's willingness to cooperate especially with Adam Taurus on the lose.", Skywalker said, "Now she doesn't have to be concerned for either of them."
Blake was sitting with her knees to her chin, in a a tree, overlooking the the village below.
"Blake."
Looking over her shoulder, she saw Skywalker floating behind her. "Is something wrong?", he asked, but she ignored him.
She turned around only to find him already floating in front of her, "Did I do something wrong?", he asked, "Please talk to me."
She didn't say anything, but neither did he move, He was just waiting for her to speak.
After fifteen minutes of silence, he finally decided to speak up, "Is this... About us not spending much time together?", Skywalker said. He noticed she turned her eyes away from him, "Blake... I am so sorry. But everything has been so hectic lately. And I wanted to get to know my family..."
He placed his arms around her middle, making her head rest against his chest. "How about I cook you diner tonight, just the two of us.", he said, "And after how about we go to a romantic movie?"
She gripped his shoulder, thinking about the conversation she had heard between him and Fluttershy, but for some reason she decided against it. "S-Sounds good to me.", she said, looking up to him with a smile, "...But let's make it an action movie."
"I knew there was a reason I liked you.", he said with a grin.
In the World of Remnant, Marc was walking through a village, ignoring the stared people where giving him.
At long last he found the inn he was looking for. Stepping inside the crowded establishment, he looked over the heads when he spotted the person he was looking for near the bar.
Making his way through the crowd, he headed towards a short boy. His skin is tanned. His hair is an unkempt umber with green undertones.
The boy was dressed in dirty and scuffed white shirt that laces across the chest. The sleeves are rolled up to his elbows, and there is a pocket on the left tricep. His olive pants are held up by orange suspenders, and are tucked into worn, brown boots. The pants are patched over the knee, and a quilted cloth hangs loosely out of his left pocket. His hands are covered by orange gloves, with green straps overlapping across the back of the hand in an X shape, and around the wrist.
"You know, I don't think kids are allowed in here.", Marc said. The boy turned to face him, showing he has a a faint, perpetual blush and freckles on his cheeks. His eyes are hazel, the main iris being forest green, with accents of burnt orange and yellow around the pupil.
"Whoa... It's you... Your tall.", the boy said in awe, looking up at the much taller man before turning his head to the side and speaking softly, "Shut up, I'm getting there."
He looks back up at Marc, who had his arms crossed. "Mr Marc, sir... I'm supposed to tell you... I'd like my cane back."
Marc nodded with a slight smile, he lifts the collapsed cane from under his coat. "Welcome to the fold Oscar.", he said, tossing it at the boy, who catches it reflexively.
The cane immediately extends itself out from the collapsed base when it touches the boy's hand.
"Or should I say... Welcome back Ozpin."
There ya go, hope you enjoyed it.
