AN: Hello people, to my first story on . Posted the first chapter like an hour ago and already some reviews. My policy for reviews is that they are welcome, criticism is fine but no hate. To the first few people who first reviewed, thank you but I have no idea what you are saying.
Anyways moving on, this is a RWBY and Warhammer Fantasy crossover, not 40k. As much as I love 40k, this is Fantasy, before Age of Sigmar. Moving on, the plans I have of this series are perhaps some very crazy one, ones I've never seen before, which you will have to wait and see. Other than that I will be filling in any blanks into bot the world of RWBY and replacing some parts of Fantasy with my own, most of which comes from me playing Total War: Warhammer. Most of what I know of Fantasy comes from there so expect discrepancies.
Enjoy!
Chapter 1-Shattered Moon, Shattered Home
Beacon Academy was, for the most part, quiet. The exception to the quiet was Professor Ozpin, the headmaster of the school. Ozpin was sitting in his office. The sound of the gears moving around the room was soothing and quite relaxing. However, Ozpin was far from relaxed.
The reason being that a very strong energy reading came from a region deep in Grimm territory. Well, really more like ten miles from the border of Vale. But, still, in Grimm territory. "What could have caused these readings?" Mused Ozpin. After thinking on this, Oz decided to send a team down there and check things out in the morning.
Morning…
Weiss got up slowly. One had to be careful if they wanted the shower first. I mean, come on. You do not need to spend almost an hour washing your hair. And while she had a fair amount of hair, she did not spend as long as the blonde oaf that was Yang.
Getting out of bed slowly, feet almost on the ground, closer, closer, and BEEP!
Weiss' foot shot back onto the bad. "Dang it, almost had it."
Ruby was up in an instant. She jumped down from her bed and grabbed her scroll of the desk. "Ladies, we got a mission from Ozpin and he needs us right away."
Weiss groaned. Why, why did their have to a mission on a Saturday?
Blake, can you wake up Yang." Said Ruby, fixing her cloak, somehow already dressed.
"Sure, let me get dressed first." Said Blake, sitting up as she said that. Weiss raised her eyebrows as her bow twitched. Turning away, Weiss shook her head as she went over to the dresser to grab her clothes.
Pulling on her clothes, Weiss fixed her hair into its classic off-center ponytail. Grabbing her scroll of the desk, she put it in her pocket and went to help Blake wake up Yang. Ruby was sitting on Weiss' bed, looking at her scroll. Shaking her head, Weiss stepped up next to Blake.
"So, who going first?" asked Blake, fully dressed. "You first. I'm not going near that oaf." Weiss said.
Blake huffed. "Fine."
Jumping onto Yang's bed, Blake positioned herself so she was sitting next to her. She shook her shoulder lightly, then harder. When that didn't work, she shoved her off. Yang landed with a thud.
"Ugh, who shoved me off?" asked Yang, rubbing her head.
"I did. Now get dressed. Ozpin wants us." Said Blake, looking at Yang from above.
"Fine, fine. No need to shove me off." Grumbled Yang. Standing up, Yang went over to the dresser, got her clothes, and put them on. All the while grumbling about not being able to sleep on a Saturday.
"Yang, stop complaining. If Ozpin needs us, them it must be important." Said Ruby.
Yang huffed, but stopped complaining.
Ozpin's Office…
"Team RWBY, thank you for coming." Said Ozpin as RWBY walked into the office.
"No problem professor. What did you need us for?" asked Ruby.
Ozpin opened up his scroll and showed them the screen. "This, is Monikers cove. It has no city or town there. But, as of last night, it has three towns, two a major city. One of them are about the size of patch, but the other two are the size of Vale."
Ozpin regarded the four ladies with a look of concern. "I want to figure out what this is. That is why I am sending you four to make contact, and see if they intend harm to Vale, and by extension, Remnant."
"Sir, you can count on us." Said Ruby, giving Ozpin an exaggerated salute.
Oz chuckled. "Well then, a Bullhead is waiting for you at the landing pads."
Meanwhile, at Monikers Cove…
Franz woke with a start. Quickly standing up, he grabbed Ghal Maraz. Looking around, he saw the soldiers that rushed outside the walls to assist him were getting up.
"Up, up. I want everyone single person outside the walls inside NOW!" yelled Franz. The men moved quickly to comply. Franz saw a Captain directing the soldiers inside the city.
"Captain!" called Franz. The Captain turned to face Franz.
"Yes Sir. What can I do for you?" asked the Captain, giving a salute.
"I need you to take some men and get contact with the two other towns. I want them to send someone so we can talk and get this figured out." Said Franz.
The Captain saluted. "Yes Sir, I'll get on it right away."
Franz nodded. Turning away from him, Franz looked at Deathclaw. He had a look of slight wonder and curiosity on his face. Franz patted his neck and got on the griffin's back. Taking off, Franz looked around the area the city was in.
To the west, about a mile, was Nuln, and to the south, sat Marienburg.
"I honestly didn't think she was serious." Thought Franz. Shaking his head, he started to enjoy flying around. Glancing at the sky, he pulled the reigns that Deathclaw had in his mouth. The griffin squawked, not liking the sudden stop. Franz didn't hear the squawk, he was to focused on the moon, or what was left of it.
"By Sigma." Muttered Franz. Seeing the moon, shattered, had Franz in a panicked state. He knew of three things that the moon dictated. One, the Celestial Order used to moon to chart star movements, two, he knew from Derick that the Witch Hunters used the moon for routing out anything that threatened the safety of the people, and three, he also knew from experience that Dawi runes used the natural power of the moon for power.
If the moon is shattered, then three important factors that accounted for the safety of his people were lost. Franz shook his head. He still had his army or armies now. With them, came his officers, men who could boast of having fought with Franz's father, and still face down a troll and win. It was men like that who helped him settle the Empire into an age of peace.
Willing Deathclaw faster, Franz flew to the center of Altdorf, Roland's Square. As soon as the Griffin landed, Franz was off, running toward the highest point in the square. Climbing up, he pounded his gauntlet against his chest piece.
"Everyone settle down!" People turned to face Franz, their voices quieting down. Franz removed his helmet, his short brown hair in tangles. Setting the helmet down, he spoke again. "Now, I assume you all are worried, but I know we were sent here for a reason. I do not know when we will return to our home world, but I know we will go home."
Franz let the people's voices die down before speaking again. "In light of the recent events, I will be issuing a draft order. This will require all able-bodied men and women to serve." This announcement caused some people's voices to rise. A few older men and women were shouting it isn't right for a lady to fight while the younger folk were all for it.
"I understand that allowing women to fight is seen as wrong to some, but I feel that these are changing times and see no reason not to allow anyone who wishes to serve and protect our homes." Franz took a deep breath, then continued. "However, since I will be issuing a draft, I will let anyone not wishing to serve to have the option to do so."
Stepping down from where he stood, Franz walked toward where Deathclaw stood. Hopping on his back, Franz and Deathclaw took off and set off for Wächter Castle. Flying over the city, Franz only sighed. He knew that keeping the people calm, or at least safe, was important, then he could see about finding other people on this world, or at least something intelligent.
Slowly breathing out his nose, Franz and Deathclaw soon landed in the castle courtyard. Jumping off the griffin, who sat down and started cleaning his wings, and called for his advisors and officers to meet in the map room.
In the Map Room…
"You cannot be serious. There is no way we have traveled to another realm of existence!" cried Ulfgar Greenhorn, general of the Dawi forces.
"Ulfgar, you have fought hundreds of battles alongside us. We have seen things that defy logic and reason. Why can't we travel to new realms where life is?" asked General Thames, general of the 56th "Sigmar's Honor Guard" battalion.
Ulfgar huffed, clearly beat on the matter.
"Gentlemen, now is not the time to argue. We are in a new world and we will work to our best ability to work with that information," Said Franz, "Now, Thames, I want you to work with the other commanding officers in securing our safety and finding suitable location for farms, mines, and such."
Turning to Ulfgar, Franz continued. "Ulfgar, if you are willing, I would like you to assist Thames in doing that. We all know Dwarfs are the best in finding ore and mining it."
Ulfgar reluctantly nodded. "Aye, I'll help ye, but I will be wanting a mine all to me self. Ye got that, laddie." Ulfgar said, glaring straight at Franz.
Franz looked right back with equal vigor. "Loud and clear Thur Draf." Ulfgar laughed.
"The one human that can speak my tongue. Where did you find the time to learn it?" Franz smiled.
"Studied Dawi runes with a rune master when I visited one of your strongholds as a boy." Franz replied.
"As interesting as this sounds, but shouldn't we get back to talking about how we are we are going to deal with being stuck here." Derick said.
Franz face turned monochrome again. "Right." Looking everyone in the face, Franz set his hands on the table. "If there is anyone or anything that is a being of intelligence with cities and such, and if they are more advanced than us, then they most likely know about us being here. We need to get ourselves self-sufficient and make contact with any life here, but I want anything we need to do so done first, is that clear?"
The various officers saluted, fist over their heart while standing straight. "Yes Sir!" Ulfgar put his hands together and bowed his head, the Dawi gesture of allied unification.
Saluting back, and returning the Dwarf gesture, Franz dismissed the officers. Only the High Celestial Wizard, Master Engineer, Ulfgar, and Derick stayed.
"Sire, before you leave, there is one thing I need to talk to you about." Said Clovis, the Wizard.
"And what is that?" asked Franz. Clovis pulled out a rolled-up piece of parchment from his belt. Unrolling it, Clovis set it over the table.
"This is the planetary constellation of The Old World." Clovis pulled out another chart. "And this, is the constellations we have charted so far here."
Franz looked at the charts. To his eyes, the charts looked the same. "So, they look the same."
Clovis shook his head. "That's just it. They are the same, but the moon is shattered."
"So, let me hear ya strait. Every star is the same but the only thing different is tha shattered moon?" asked O'Neil, the Imperial master engineer.
Clovis nodded. "Of course, this is only the first of many new star charts made. We could find things that are different but, from first looks, not many."
Ulfgar snorted. "Well, as long as nothing from the stars and moon threaten us in anyway, then I see no reason to worry about such trivial things."
O'Neil stroked his beard, parts of it singed from long work in maintaining the Steam Tanks. "Well, I don't know about stars and such, but if them folks here have better tech an' stuff than us, they might be able to help us make new Steam Tanks."
Ulfgar huffed. "Lad, the best Dawi engineers have looked at them Tanks, and even them can't remake 'em."
O'Neil sighed. "Even if they couldn't help us, it would still be good to get a third opinion, no offense to the Dwarf engineers."
"No offense to me, but the lads probably will take offense."
O'Neil's shoulders slumped. "Guess I will have to take the anger of Dwarfs then."
Franz placed his hand of the engineer's shoulder. "No need O'Neil. It makes sense that you would want another look at the Steamer's"
O'Neil visible relaxed. "Thank you sir." Picking up his hat, a black and red color with hardened leather on the head, and the crest of Reikland on the front, O'Neil headed to the door. When he left, Ulfgar nodded to each of the remaining men and proceeded to follow O'Neil.
Clovis gathered his charts and left as well. Only Franz and Derick remained. "So, how are ya holding up?" Derick asked, worried for his friend.
Franz sighed. "As well as I can. I honestly didn't think Vora was for real, but being here changed that."
He shook his head. "Now is not the time to fret on trivial things. We will do what we were sent here to do and do it to the best of our strengths."
Derick nodded and opened his mouth to speak when bells interrupted him. Quickly leaving the room, both men raced outside, just in time to see a giant metal object fly over their heads. "What in Sigma's name was that?" asked Derick.
Franz said nothing. Down below, in the courtyard, Ulfgar was yelling to his men to get the Gyrocopters airborne and protect the airspace above the city. General Thames was also yelling as well, telling the Captain of the 10th "Flying Muskets" Air Corp to get airborne as well. Derick was shaking Franz's shoulder, trying to get him to respond to the outside world.
Franz did nothing. His mind was shot, and was trying to fix itself. He did not know what he saw, but that flying piece of metal confirmed that people were here, and much more advanced than them. He only hoped they were friendly.
With Team RWBY, a few hours before reaching Altdorf…
"Alright, here's what we know." Said Ruby, pulling out her scroll.
"And that is…?" asked Blake, cleaning her weapon, Gambol Shroud.
"I was getting to that." Huffed Ruby. "Any way. All we know is that some massive energy reading came from Monikers Cove and three towns popped up."
Weiss blew air out her nose. "Is that all we know?" she asked, hoping for more.
"Yep." Said Ruby.
Yang laughed. "Well, it's better than nothing right?" All three of her teammates looked at her queerly. "Of course, it could be energenius of us to know this much." The three girls groaned.
The pilot was chuckling. "Heh, good one."
Ruby waved her hands in a stop motion. "No stop," she cried, "you've doomed us all."
"What Ruby," stated Yang, grinning, "He's just piloting me along" Blake covered her ears, all four of them, while Ruby and Weiss covered each other's ears with their hands.
"Kid, you remind me of my daughter. Bet she would love to meet ya." Said the pilot.
Yang face had a massive grin on it. "Then we should try and meet some time." The pilot nodded. "Sure thing, how 'bout when we get back from this here mission." He suggested. "Since you two have oh so wonderfully hit it off, might I ask your name?" asked Weiss, stepping next to Yang.
"Sure, don't mind at all," the man adjusted the controls of Bullhead, then turned to the girls, "Names Toby O'Brian." With that, Toby went back to flying, completely missing Yang and Weiss' faces of surprise at his normal sounding name, expecting something long and complicated
The two turned and went back to their seats. Blake, who was looking at her scroll, only glanced at them. Ruby was cleaning Crescent Rose.
An hour passed. Then another. By the time they were getting closer to Monikers Cove, everyone was ready to finish their mission.
"So, how are we going to do this? Are we just going to land or jump?" asked Ruby.
"Well, here's 'ow we are going to do this." Toby pointed to himself. "I am going to fly you over there. Now using my extremely limited knowledge of flying, I will tip this bird on the side, spilling you four out and then going on my way."
The girls couldn't tell if he was serious or not. "Or, we could all jump out and let this old bird crash, causing mass panic in those towns." When the ladies of Team RWBY didn't respond, Toby laughed. A full on, deep lung laugh. "Come on ladies, I wouldn't do that to ya. Just pulling yer hair."
Yang's eyes turned red for a moment. Blake moved to calm her down. "Yang, he's just joking. Nothing serious." Toby nodded.
"I do this to all my new passengers and ya'll are nothing new."
Ruby folded Crescent Rose into its compact form and holstered it on her back. "Alright, now that we have that out of the way, let's get this done." She said with determination.
The others nodded. Toby got their attention when he dived a little bit.
"Ladies and…ladies, we have arrived. Thank you for flying O'Brian air. Hope you enjoyed yer flight." Setting down in a clearing, the girls hoped out. "I'll do a fly over the largest city. Get their attention. Might send someone to get ya." Toby saluted them, and then took off.
A howl ripped through the trees. Not a howl from a Beowulf, but something more bird like, with lion mixed in. "Anyone recognize that howl?" asked Weiss, rapier held loose but ready to move at an instant. The others shook their heads. No one knew that noise. Not even Blake, who knew most noises from creatures found in Remnant.
A growl came from the trees. The girls formed a circle, weapons deployed and held at the ready. Out of the trees came armored creatures. Blake gasped, fully knowing what those creatures were.
"Blake, what are those?" whispered Weiss.
"Those are the only things that scare Grimm." Fear was clear in Blake's voice. "Half lion, half eagle. Demigryphs."
A man riding one of the Demi's laughed. "So, lass, you know of us then?" he asked, his thick accent not recognized by the girls.
"Only your mounts, sir." Blake said, fear still present.
Another Rider laughed. "I can feel the fear in your voice, girl. Your friends would feel the same way, if they ever speak."
Ruby was the first to speak. "Um, hi. I'm Ruby Rose. The one who you were talking to was Blake Belladonna, this is Weiss Schnee, and my sister, Yang Xiao Long." Ruby pointed to each one of her team as she said her name.
The first rider who spoke stiffed in the saddle of his mount. "Did…you say Schnee and Rose?" asked the Rider.
"Um, yes." Answered Ruby. All ten riders present dismounted, and bowed.
"Uh, what are you doing?" asked Yang, lowering her arms, but only a little.
The first rider who spoke and bowed rose. "My name is Captain William "Rose" Schnee."
Blake blinked. "So, are you just another Schnee, then?" she asked, a little bit of trepidation.
"What do you mean "another Schnee." I am the last of the Schnee-Rose line."
"And how are you the last of the Schnee's?" asked Weiss, unbelief clear in her voice. William motioned for the other riders to rise. Reaching toward his head, his helmet came off. The first thing the girls noticed was his white hair. Not white from age, but natural white. His face was marred with scars but one could still tell he had youth to his looks.
Weiss could not believe her eyes. The man, William, looked exactly like her great-great-granduncle William Schnee.
"William. How can you be alive? Everyone thought you fell into a Dust mine and didn't come out." William looked confused.
"Sorry lass, but you must have me confused for someone else."
"Uh, Weiss, who is that?" asked Ruby.
"He looks like my great-great-granduncle, William." Answered Weiss. Out of the corner of her eyes, Ruby saw William eying both her and Weiss with caution. Yang and Blake didn't know what to make of this situation.
Yang was very confused. On one hand, here was this guy saying he was the last of the Schnee and Rose lines, whatever that meant, and on the other hand, here was these things that scared Blake, and not much scared her, except Zwei.
Blake, for all intent and reasons, was terrified. Terrified of the Demigryphs. The legends about those beasts were well known, at least to Faunus. Demigryphs were responsible for pushing Grimm into the Badlands, or as the legends said. Seeing one for real really puts one fear in its place.
And finally we have William. Here he was, on orders from his brother General Thames to scout the surrounding forests and sent up a patrol. And yet, he did not expect this. But the two whose last names that he shared with did look like…By Sigma.
This final thought is what went through William's head before he started walking toward the girls. Yang was the first to notice this and moved to stop him.
"Hold it buddy," she said, raising her arms in a boxer's stance, "Not going to let you come any closer."
"Dear girl, I mean no harm." Said William, still walking slowly forward.
"I will set my weapon down, to show I mean no harm." William set his halberd down, spearhead pointed toward his mount. After setting his halberd down, William started forward again. Stopping a foot from where the girls stood, he got a proper look at them. The blonde one, Yang, had hair reaching her knees. Blake, the one clad in black, was still looking at the Demigryphs, fear clear in her eyes.
When his eyes saw Ruby and Weiss, standing next to each other, his mind ceased to function.
"Durch Sigma. Nichten, is that really you?" asked William, his old tongue spilling through his normal speech.
"What did you just call us?!" cried Weiss.
"Nieces. I called you nieces." Said William, eyes starting to water.
"Wait, how can you be their Uncle. They're from totally separate families!" cried Yang.
"Nein, it is very possible. See some of the things I have, then you will believe it possible." Said William, his natural accent and way of speaking more forth coming.
"But how is this possible. There's no way we are your nieces!" cried Weiss.
"Sir, we need to go. Bolts and thunder abound." Said one of the William's men. William nodded. He pointed at Ruby and Weiss.
"One of you will ride with me, and the other with Sergeant Hanz." The rider next to William, Hanz, nodded. "And you two will have to walk. Demigryphs don't people ride them unless they prove themselves."
Yang immediately had problems. "Then, if you have to prove themselves, why do Ruby and Weiss get to ride with you?" asked Yang, hair flaring up a bit from anger. If William saw her hair catch fire a second, he did not say anything.
"Simple, they already have."
"What do you mean, "already have?" asked Blake, still pale as slate.
A roar was heard, and from the volume, the owner was pretty close. William grabbed his halberd from where it sat on the ground. Using hand motions to fast for the girls to follow, the Demi's and their riders circling around the girls. William put his helmet on his head and readied his halberd.
The girls, on the part, were surprised that these men would protect them. But, that didn't mean they wouldn't be ready for a fight. Ruby unfurled her scythe, Weiss stood with her rapier, Blake held Gambol Shroud close, and Yang adopted her classic boxer/kick-boxer stance. As the girls of RWBY and the Demigryph Knights stood in formation, the owner of the roar came forth from the trees.
Grimm, and not your normal Beowulfs and Ursa. No, this was a herd of Midus. Midus were a unique type of Grimm for the gold fur it sported. Other than that, it looked like a boar. A boar with two pairs of tusks and eight legs. It was this Grimm that surrounded our group. A Demi roared, but the Midus remained defiant.
"So lass. It seems that these beasts do not fear our mounts. And you said they did." Said Hanz.
Blake shook her head. "The legends say the Demigryphs died off before the first Midus showed up." William laughed.
"Even they don't, we will give them a reason to fear. Men, prepare for battle."
By this time, the Midus had surrounded the group. But they didn't know one of a Demi Knight's special tricks is being an escape artist. And that skill proved to be very useful to this particular group. Being surround not once, but sixteen times by a Greenskin war party kinda made use that skill a lot.
And these Midus were about to see that skill first hand. "Men, Entfesselungskünstler." The Demi's roared, liking the plan. The Knights lowered their halberds and set them in the crook of their arms. "What do think you're doing? No one fights a Midus, let alone a herd!" cried Weiss. The Knights didn't reply. The only thought they had was protecting these girls, even if they gave their life.
"Kostenlos!" The order to charge sounded and charge they did. Surging at the Grimm, who returned the charge, the Knights engaged in combat. Midus hide is tough, tougher than most hunter weapons can pierce, but Imperial halberds are designed to pierce and chop at tough hides, such as those of trolls or the armor of Chaos Chosen. Hence why they are beating back the Midus.
Jabbing his weapon at the side of a Grimm, William then dragged the spear point along the hide of the beast. His mount then lunged, tearing a chunk out of its side with a powerful swipe. The rest of the Knights were faring the same, tearing and chopping the Grimm with an almost grim efficiency.
The girls, however, weren't doing much. While, yes, they were fighting, their weapons really couldn't do a whole lot against Midus hide. Ruby was zipping around, slicing with scythe when an opening was clear. Weiss was using her Dust, encasing a few Grimm in ice and striking a few other with lightning. Blake's weapon didn't have much in stabbing and chopping power, so she was mainly darting around, assisting where it needed it. Yang was having the most luck, her fists having the power to least land some damage.
"Men, grab the ladies, we're out of here!" shouted William. Two Knights raced over and grabbed Blake and Yang, sitting them in front of them. Hanz grabbed Weiss, setting her behind him, so to better use his halberd. William moved to where Ruby was, grabbing the back of her cloak and sitting her in front of him.
The Knights charged through the Grimm again, breaking through them with brutal strikes from both talon and axe. Having broken through the Grimm, the Demigryphs raced through the forest. Dodging trees and more Grimm alike, the Knights urging their mounts faster. Finally, they broke through the trees. The girls saw a massive city in front of them, with people outside the humongous stonewalls. The people were wielding swords and shields, halberds like the Knights, and what looked to be rifles.
Ruby heard William give a shrill whistle, alerting the men armed with weapons. The men with halberds formed into a battle line, spear points toward the forest. The swordsmen formed up alongside them, shields held as straight as a wall. The riflemen lined up behind the battle line, prepared to fire over them men's heads.
Seconds passed.
The Demi Knights had stopped, the Knights dismounted, and rushing to join the battle line. Only the girls, William and Hanz stayed back.
A minute passed.
Then the Grimm burst through the trees. Beowulfs and Boarbatusks charged at the battle line. CRACK! A volley of rifle fire slammed into the charging Grimm. Multiple enemies fell. More came. As they came closer to the men, they responded with a charge of their own. Charging at the Grimm, the swordsmen and halberdiers hit the Grimm hard, causing the Grimm line to falter.
Swords fell, claws flashed, men sent flying from a Boarbatusk, the head of a Beowulf flying into the air, black ichor spewing from its neck. One swordsman rushed a boar. Raising his shield, he blocked a hit from its tusks. Swinging his sword horizontally, he cut a large gash along the boar's side, ichor flowing freely. Flipping his sword in a backwards grip, the swordsman thrust down, piercing the boar's hide, killing it.
As the Grimm dissipated, a wulf struck the man's side, cutting three, deep gashes. Before the wulf could finish him, an axe head came down on its head, removing it from its shoulders. The Halberdier hoisted the swordsman up, and, standing side by side, rushed back into battle.
As the men were fighting the Grimm, a shrill cry came from above their heads. Karl Franz, mounted on Deathclaw, landed between the Grimm, scattering them. Deathclaw swiped his claws, slicing multiple Grimm in a single strike. The rest of the Grimm scattered under the Griffin's gaze. The Grimm cowered then started fleeing.
With the Grimm fleeing, the men visibly relaxed. Franz eyed the recent battle with trepidation. If the Grimm were terrified of Deathclaw, then maybe the Demigryphs could scare these creatures of darkness away as well.
"Sir, Captain William wishes to speak to you!" yelled a Sergeant.
Franz directed Deathclaw over to where William and the girls were standing; Franz dismounted and handed Deathclaw over to a Demi Knight. Approaching the small group, Franz stood with his hammer resting on the ground, hands resting on top.
The one in red spook first. "Hello sir," she started, her voice peppy, "My name is Ruby Rose."
Franz's face remained the same, but on the inside, he was shocked. If this girl were related to the Roses, then it would be a wonder.
"And this is my team." Ruby continued. "Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long." Ruby pointed to each person as she said her name.
Franz was very shocked. But, he didn't show it. If these two girls were indeed a Rose and an Schnee, then lots of problems would arise.
"Greetings, Ruby Rose. It is an honor to meet one descended from the Rose and Schnee family lines." Greeted Franz, bowing his head in respect.
The blonde one, Yang, spoke up. "Yes, I want to ask you about that. What is it about Ruby and Weiss here being royalty or something?"
Franz gaffed. "The Rose and Schnee family lines are legendary in our history. It is a wonder that these two are alive."
William chose that moment to speak. "Sir, they also resemble my brother's daughters, almost to the dot." Franz looked at the two. Ruby's red hair and silver eyes and Weiss' white hair and pale blue eyes did resemble William's nieces, Anna and Sofia.
"William, have young Ruby and Weiss here taken to Clovis. He will tell if they are your nieces or not." William nodded and led Ruby and Weiss away. Blake and Yang started to follow them but were stopped by Franz. "As for you two, I want you to come with me."
