Hello everyone!
The rewrite is up!
Okay a was a little vague on why i wanted to rewrite "Rise Of The Outcasts" but there are several things and one of them being my ability to write has long since gotten better, since i first wrote the story and i noticed A LOT of mistakes when i first started it. Namely how the setting worked and of course, my spelling.
Really i could count at least ten misspells in the first chapter one, not the prologue of course. Plus it had a very weak story line and not enough meat on the bones to make a decent story. Originally of course, as i made some changes to the idea and added more onto it, namely giving Xero and Ruby a good reason to distrust the kingdom's leaders as they had screwed over Ruby for no reason other then they could and no one standing up for Ruby, only added salt to the wounds.
So yeah, after some thought i changed the timeline to be a bit different form the other one and hopefully better for it. Even the speech and trailer have undergo a change in scenario. Namely Ruby being the one that got the blunt of the damage and Xero making a course of action that would change all of Remnant and she have a big role to play as she is also a MC as well.
But instead of Ruby deciding to go with Xero, she is the reason he leaves in the first place and decides to take on the corrupted council members and of course, Ozpin. His cold way of doing things, not to mention him withholding certain pieces of information and withholding such info could and will get a person killed. While i understand his reasoning, which are well founded but it doesn't change the fact what he did was wrong. Not to mention, like everything else, it came to bite him back in the ass and lets not forget the fact, his "Defend and wait" plan on stopping Salem just isn't working anymore.
Especially proven during V 3 and 7, when Cinder was able to ruin everything and Ironwood finally losing it. Not that i can blame him, as the mouths if not years of stress, civil war threatening to break out, the truth of Salem's origins and finally Salem herself showing up, finally pushed him over the edge. So i'll stop rambling and let's get on with it, as always i don't own Rwby.
So please read, review and "What the fuc-BOOM"
Prologue: Home
Home.
Definition, the place where one lives permanently, especially as a member of a family or household, relating to the place where one lives or at the place where one lives.
But really, a home is so much more then that. Yes it is a place where a person lives at permanently but home is where the heart is. It's where the good and bad memories are, where you feel the safest and most comfortable.
It's a place where you feel no evil or harm can befall you.
A place where you can always come back to, without fear of being judge.
A place where you will always be welcomed at.
A place where you could find either friends or family, ones that will always have you're back.
A place where you can run too, when you're in trouble and find people who are ready and willing to help.
A home is, should always be a such a place and at one point, Ruby Rose believed Beacon to be a second home. Next to the one on Patch with her dad of course but that has changed in the worst way possible. Betrayed by her kingdom for trying to stop a terrorist attack and with no one to believe her, save for a few, she is banned form ever achieving her dream.
Despite the evidence to the contrary, many turn on Ruby, even her "Friends" and "Teammates". Ones that believed Ruby never truly belonged at Beacon even though she had proven herself time and time again. No matter how skilled she was with a weapon that is known to be the most difficult weapon to master in all of Remnant, no one respected her.
The only ones that believed her and believed IN her, were Xero Von Branwen, the son of Raven Branwen and the older half brother of Jaune Arc. His team, Argo Mascot, Velvet Crowe and Saeko Busujima. They, along with Jaune Arc and team CFVY believed in Ruby. Many flaws in the kingdoms had gotten on Xero's nerves, especially the blatant corruption.
He himself was discriminate by both humans and faunus, as he was a one of a kind Saber-Tooth tiger. Hated by one side and feared by the other, Xero protected his friends and family with a fierceness that would scare even Grimm away. So to learn that Ruby had lost her dream due to corrupted people and no one, besides himself and his team had stood up for her, he decide enough was enough.
He has seen people, those who were like him get screwed over at every single chance possible, he had enough of it. Ruby being betrayed was just the final straw and the fact the Grimm were going stronger, only made it worse. Plus with the only person who could do anything about Salem, was nothing more the a cold, manipulative old man Xero knew he would need to deal with it himself.
With his mother's backing, he would see that the corruption fall.
He would succeed where Ozpin had failed.
He would finally put an end to Salem and the Grimm alike, become nothing more then just a bad memory.
He would do this by helping his own people and make all those who were cast out by society rise.
As the leader of the Outcasts.
Done.
Hopefully this version of the story will be better then the old one. At the very least, this one won't have as many spelling mistakes and make a lot more sense. So yeah, i'm going to be using "Von" in Xero's name, to see if i like it or not. Plus, if this wasn't clear, Von means "Son of, so Xero is calling himself the son of Raven, rather then Nichols.
You'll known why in the next chapter, till then:
Devil out.
