AN: Before we go any further, you need to read the OC description I made to understand some things and elements I'm using in this story and any other story that I will release that involves Ace in the future.
Hope you like this and tell me your opinion about this.
Ace had one heck of a life.
At first, Ace wanted to become a huntsman after the stories his parents told him about their adventures. So, at the age of seven, he started training because he wanted to do it and was too stubborn to stop, but, it was the start of a crazy decade of training. It was harsh from the start, but it wasn't enough to stop him.
A year later, he experienced his first kill.
It happened when there was a serial killer was known as Jack The Ripper who put the town on its toes for weeks. When Jack entered Ace's house, he saw Ace trying to find something in the fridge, but, due to Ace's training in aura sense, he knew something off was behind him, so, he continued searching and pulled the nearest thing to throw at him which was frozen meat that was able to give Ace the time to get a weapon to defend himself which caused the home to wake up.
In the end, Ace killed the serial killer by accident.
When Ace got found by his parents, he looked so much traumatized because he was eight years old that killed a person and was covered with blood over his clothes and hands. It took him about 2 weeks or so to get back to normal thanks to his mother, Regina Reigns Storm, while his father, Zack Storm, threw the body in the forest and gave it to any wild creatures to eat the corpse.
Flashbacks and trauma were a thing for Ace until they were gone by the time.
At the age of ten, Ace went to his grandmother, Valentine Storm, to train on aiming and shooting which went well.
Years later, he made the Dust Decoded with the help of his grandfather, Joseph Storm the Second, and his uncle, Crank Storm.
Later, he got his dual-guns, Ivy and Orchid, after he passed her exam because he was great, he reminded her of her young.
The Sabrewulf Gauntlets were found a few months after the exam, and they got found inside a mountain.
At the age of 14, he found the Demon Sword after he encountered an old person called Fujin Takahashi when he was traveling around the island of Patch in a training on surviving alone in the wild.
Fujin asked Ace to train in the Demon Sword and other techniques, which Ace accepted. He trained on many different techniques about aura and fighting styles and later, he trained on the Demon Sword. At first, he felt something weird the moment he touched the sword, but he ignored it and trained on the Iai-Jutsu which was a crazy thing to do because it required focus and aura to do, even with that toughness, it didn't stop him and continued to push the limits.
He found a secret ability where he could change the sword to any weapon if he thought and focused on that weapon. That opened crazy possibilities because of the imagination Ace had and the training on different weapons Ace was into before.
Later, he found about the 'Demon' who have been prisoned inside the sword after he transformed into him because of a crazy fight against hordes of Grimm, and after he listened to the story, Ace promised to take care of the sword.
After he finished, he returned to his family, explained his experience, and proved to make sure nothing was hidden between the family.
Later, the Demon Rider idea came when one day, Ace was in a junkyard that he uses for training. He was carrying a chainsaw and without noticing, he let it work and put it on the ground without releasing it, which caused him to maneuver around the place like a wild motorcycle.
After he stopped the wild ride, it gave Ace an idea and wrote it down on his book of ideas for the future. He didn't know what to make until a gust of wind flipped a previous page where he had a design for a Motorcycle he wanted to make and gave Ace an idea to mix both ideas.
He looked for any old motorcycle in the junkyard and found one where it needed so many repairs. He called a mechanic friend and gave him the idea. The two were able to make the motorcycle to the design Ace wanted, but they weren't able to make the other ideas because they didn't have the right tools to make it, but that didn't mean Ace wasn't happy with what he had.
Later, he entered Beacon and he bumped into a turtle Faunus called Violet Entrapta the day before the initiation. The next day, when he landed in the Emerald Forest, he met a girl named Skyler Eindhoven. They continued together until they arrived to get the chess pieces and met there Violet and a boy with short blonde hair called Carl. Before they returned to Beacon, they encountered their first big threat as it was a big Grimm that had a weird face with half of it having bones while the other had a half creepy smile and twisted horns on top. Its body was heavily armored, the left hand was a giant ax and the right one was a giant sword and got bladed toes. After a crazy battle that involved Skyler launching Violet inside her turtle shell and Ace Suplexing the Grimm, they returned to Beacon to announce their team.
They made team ACES: Ace Storm – Carl Andersmith – Violet Entrapta – Skyler Eindhoven.
The first year was going smoothly. The team was creating a bond, the classes were good, and nothing was special most of the time. In the second semester, things were getting interesting as Ace decided to forge his bond with the team more than he did.
So, he began to work with Carl on a band and music and it happened with the team which made the band of 'The Mentally Unstable Hosts'.
With Violet, she upgraded the team's scrolls and some of their weapons like making Carl's weapon, Nevan, fuse with dust and made the idea Ace wanted for the Demon Rider. Violet shared her knowledge of weapons, programming, and inventing with the others, which Ace benefited the most out of it.
Skyler, on the other hand, didn't have anything that team could share except for her caring for the team, but Ace noticed that she had a crush on him after a little bit of teasing and confirming. He decided to ride it and try to see if something might happen, so Ace planned to have a date after the Vytal Festival Tournament.
When they reached the doubles round, they lost after Ace didn't notice the geyser under him, which caused the match.
When things were going normal after, everything went downhill in the Fall of Beacon.
This night was one of the worst things that happened ever. Things were bad at first, but it went downhill after Carl's injury, and after that, Skyler's death.
That moment destroyed Ace entirely. Her last moments were heartbreaking to Ace because he wasn't able to help her fast enough and her last words were putting the salt on the wound.
After her burial, both Carl and Violet went on a different path that Ace didn't know. While Ace went to his house and cried for days, Ace's parents were able to comfort him and he returned slowly to the same Ace but would carry the burden of Skyler's death for his life.
As time was moving on, Ace returned to train on the aura to be able to master the Iai-Jutsu. Later, Zack told Ace to use an old route Storm family were using before the academies, which was going around Remnant, doing what a huntsman should do, and surviving in the wilds until the academies open. Ace made it and he finished both Mistral and Atlas.
When he was in Vacuo, he met Nora Valkire, Lie Ren, Oscar Pine/Ozpin/Ozma, Winter Schnee, Qrow Branwen, Robyn Hill, what was remaining of the Ace-Ops, and the Shade Academy staff. Then, it was followed by team RWBY, Jaune, and Neo returning to Remnant from the weird island they have been. In the fight against Salem's troops combined with the Crown assistance, Ace was able to help to beat Salem's troops and end the crown by putting Gillian down to the prison and coldly killing Jax. Which resulted in Gillian planning on revenge that didn't happen.
After they finished, Salem came by herself to get the sword of destruction, and because you're talking about Ace's Demon Sword and the Sword of Destruction, 2 weapons that were made by god made some bad resulting involving a crazy sand storm that nearly buried Shade academy, but Ace was able to get the sword and put Salem outside of the city to hold backless. In the fight, Ace's power got revealed to everyone, and after a fight that destroyed an entire volcano, they beat Salem and had the sword as one hope to stop Salem.
After they returned to Beacon, Ace made a team that involves Neo, Emerald, and Mercury. At that time, Salem was quiet and nobody knew what will happen, but around that time, they had to stop the spider faction, which had Ace fighting the number one assassin in Remnant and it didn't go well for our fellow assassin.
A while later, Yang went on a hard time involving her anger as she unlocked something in her semblance called the Metastability, which was another level of uncontrollable rage and power that made her very deadly. Ace was able to give her one strong attack to be able to knock her out and Yang was able to comfort the Meta to be able to live together and use her when she needed her to come.
After that whole madness, they didn't take a long break because Salem returned in person and went to the Emerald Forest to get the Crown of Choice by herself after many failed attempts to find it, but it didn't go without notice as Ace was trying his wild stuff against the Grimm and called everyone to stop Salem.
However, Salem was prepared for the fight and used the Staff of Creation to create a portal to send team RWBY and JNPR away, while Ace, Neo, Mercury, Emerald, and Oscar/Ozpin were the remaining ones to fight. After a long and hard battle, Salem got the Sword of Destruction and combined it with the Staff of Creation, and the Lamp of Knowledge to create a danger that put Remnant in the next big nightmare.
After long interrogations with Ozpin after she pulled the old wizard from Oscar's body to know where was the Crown of Choice was hidden, and at the same time when the relics weren't able to find it because Jinn wouldn't wake up until decades later and Ambrosius needed hints to create a portal next to it, she decided if Ozpin wouldn't say something, then, she would conquer Remnant and whoever tried to come and stop her would die at the moment.
The remaining Beacons such as Qrow, Raven, Tai, Goodwitch, and many more tried to stop Salem, but she killed all of them. Ace was the only one left after he escaped in the last seconds, but after that, everything went downhill.
The Grimm became stronger and deadlier, everyone was dying, family, friends, loved ones, anyone was dying. When Ace went to his family, everyone died except his 2 years old sister, Luna. That destroyed Ace in every shape and form. When he went to see if there was anybody left around Remnant, nobody of his family was alive except him and his sister.
Another person he had to take over with Luna was Jaune's nephew, Adrian Cotta Arc after he went to Argus to see if there was anybody left. He found Adrian crying alone as Saph and Terra were dead and he was about to get attacked before Ace recused him.
The more years passed, the worst Ace became. He had to take care of the two toddlers and ensured that both of them would train to defend themselves if the situation needed. Also, The Dust Decoded got destroyed alongside the Demon Rider around that time, so he only had Sabrewulf Gauntlets, Ivy and Orchid, and the Demon Sword to survive. It wasn't a bad thing because Ace was able to survive thanks to the Iai-Jutsu and having both Luna and Adrian at the field.
One day, when Ace had to fight Salem, Ace shifted between his Demon Form and his human body so much and combing it with Relics shenanigans, made him half-human half demon-looking. Because of that, Ace went into a depression and had to live like that until he found a way to turn back to normal.
Years later, he found both Carl and Violet who had a hard time dealing with Grimm. After he helped them, he reunited with them which made him very happy for the first time in years and didn't care for their reasons why they left.
In 2 decades since Salem's control of Remnant, things went the same route of surviving and finding any survivors left. Until Salem was able to find Ace, which caused a battle that had Salem throwing the moon's remaining pieces like meteors on them.
The result of it wasn't good for Ace.
It made him snap after Salem killed Carl, Violet, Adrian, and Luna in front of him.
Ace turned into Jack the Ripper mode and destroyed everything in front of him to find Salem, and was able to find her. Finally, after a long time of hiding, he decided to fight, knowing that he was Remnant's last hope because if he was able to beat Salem, he would use the relics to fix everything.
That fight was like gods fighting.
The fight destroyed everything in its path. Atlas got vaporized, the Grimm land got destroyed, Menagerie got cut in half and the reality was getting shattered. The fight was destroying the world more than anything that came before it.
At the Moment, this fight was happening in a place where the background was a dark blue colored, and they were standing on what was remaining of their fight.
Standing there was a male figure that looked in his 40 with nothing but destroyed clothes and a sword on his hand, and a tall white woman with her black dress and a scary figure that carried a glowing sword.
Ace and Salem went to new levels and now, it seemed that one move can end everything. Ace, with the strongest and last attack with him, and Salem preparing her strongest too were ready to end it.
They attacked with one mighty cry before they clashed, making a mix of blue and gold glowing appear from it that spread to space. It didn't put them away, they continued to move forward and it was breaking more. The force wasn't like anything before and the reality wasn't able to handle anymore, until, The Demon Sword cut the relic's blade from the amount of force, and suddenly, everything went black like a blur, taking Remnant and the universe with it.
…
Silence…Darkness…Emptiness…
This was the feeling Ace have felt after that last swing. He was floating in the air and slowly opened his eyes. He saw the ceiling was white and nothing was around. 'Is this…heaven?' Ace asked himself. Suddenly, he got pulled somewhere and landed on the white floor. Ace stood up, but he was tired because of everything he did in the fight.
"Where…THE FUCK…AM I?" Ace screamed at the top of his lungs. He couldn't take it anymore. He would be crazy after all of that, and resulting in him dying is the most devastating thing ever.
"Calm down, Ace." A voice told him. He turned around saw them. It was the fucking gods.
"You…YOU!…Do you realize…WHAT…JUST…HAPPENED?!"
"Yes, we know. We saw everything from the beginning to the end, and I got to say…you have a great spirit when you fought Salem. It was enjoyable to see but sad at the same time." The God of Darkness said.
Ace couldn't take it anymore. He was about to snap in front of the gods and nobody would be able to stop him.
"You don't have to snap in our faces because it's not worth doing anyway because you have to understand what we will say." The God of Light said, making Ace raise an eyebrow. "You see, if you haven't noticed, you have broken the fabric of reality itself because you fought with weapons made by us, which resulted to destroy everything...including you and Salem." The God of Light explained.
Ace got shocked to the point he collapsed and started crying with all of his heart and emotions.
Even after all of that, he died. All of this time, twenty years that drove him to madness turned out to be pointless shit in the end.
After he stopped crying for what felt like an eternity, The God of Light patted his shoulder but Ace shrugged it away. "Hope is not lost yet, young man. You still had one chance." Ace lifted his head and raised an eyebrow. "You will go back to the past and fix it." The God of Darkness said.
"What?! Are you serious?!" Ace exclaimed.
"Yes, you want to save the world, aren't you? Then, we offer you the chance to go to the past and stop Salem before she gets the relics and has your world in peace with us away from you like what we did for a long time." The God of Darkness explained. "Oh! Don't forget Avon with you."
He snapped his fingers to summon Avon in his demon body next to Ace. As he stood up and saw Ace and the gods in front of him, he knew something is happening. "You ready to fix the past." Ace said.
"I see we are given a second chance, huh?" Avon turned to Ace.
Ace nodded before he asked, "Are you ready?"
"If we will do anything to prevent Salem and to get me away from them, yes, please," Avon answered while pointing at the gods.
"So, how will we go back?" Ace asked before going.
"Oh, simply your soul and memory will be in your younger self and Avon will return to the sword once again." The God of Darkness said.
"Now, good luck with you two, you're the last chance to win," The God of Light said before snapping his fingers before everything became white.
…
A few weeks before Beacon.
Ace felt weird because he had become younger but something was weird in him. As Ace opened his eyes he noticed a lot of scrap metal next to him. That was where he realized, he was in the old junkyard he was using for training. When he tried to get up, he felt a weird and painful feeling and that's where he knew.
"Gahhhh! My muscles and aura got weaker all of the sudden. I should work on that a lot when I go to Beacon." Ace groaned loudly as he got himself back and stood to examine everything around him and saw that his weapons are there. The Dust Decoded, Ivy and Orchid, and the Sabrewulf Bracelets in a table he was using to write on. Under his foot was the Demon Sword. Ace grabbed it and felt the same way he felt the first time he got the sword.
"Well, we're back, boy," Avon said.
"Yes, we are. Right now, let's work on doing what should we do? After I get a shower because this body is all sweaty." Ace exclaimed.
"Damn it! You ruined the moment."
"Who fucking cares?!" Ace yelled.
