Sorry for my bad English.
After some deep thinking, and seeing how good The Witch and the Unicorn is going, I finally took a decision and decide to do what I not wanted to do. Giving a better look in what I planned for this fic, I decide to remove another chapter of this fanfiction and put it like another story. I decide to do that because the main point of the team STRK history is to show their adventures through the academy and beyond that.
Some chapters seems to only fill space in the history and not add any benefit in the plot outside the fact of bring popularity to their story.
Different from the chapter involving Yang, the chapters involving Weiss did not brought anything to the plot. The same could be said from the chapters with Glynda. This supposed to be their story, their own problems, their own plot and adventure, a history behind another history. Making the original characters appearing only to interact with them briefly may work but entire chapters with them only served to waste some time and words in what could be another fanfiction.
The characters from the show still will appear but not always filling an entire chapter and see what people will think about the "next" fanfiction I will post.
When I started this I choose something different to do from the original show, still would have Grimms but a also different type of enemy. I'm sure I mentioned this before but I saying this again because I am more tempted to went back to my old idea just to make most different possible from any type of fanfiction related to OCs I see around.
The problem I wanted to make this not take so to not make this fic too much long and upload a part before another, I decide to upload the first chapter of a multiple chapter and upload the rest later in the same chapter of the first part just to keep with the story without some delays. It is something I want to try and if the results be satisfactory, I will keep making this story like that.
Enough talk. To the fic!
Vale
Vale is a town where anything is always happening.
At night some party is happening inside of an abandoned warehouse, in the biggest building of the town, or even in the sewers.
The same could be said about crime.
A little group of thieves covering their faces with bandanas were trying to snuck inside of a dust store. They needed to act fast before the White Fang get everything of the town, and left them with is left, which is not too much.
-Can you go any faster? –One man of the group whispered to the one using a blowtorch.
-Thanks to those freaks of the White Fang, it becomes hard to invade a store, you know? –The one trying to break the door open said.
After what seemed like an hour, he finally was able to melt the lock enough and open the door. They silent cheered and made to enter in the building but stopped when heard something land in their back. All the group turn around and had just one second to see the smoke grenade before explode in their face.
-What is happening?!
-Who is?!
-It is the White Fang?!
They all shout almost at the same time after having their vision covered with the smoke. If they had paid more attention would had heard someone just land close to them.
-I'm not with the White Fang. –A voice spoke. –I'm something worst.
One of them pointed a gun at the direction were the voice was coming but was blasted by a laser and send flying back and landing inside of a trash dumpster. The others all grabbed their guns, revolvers and shotguns, and start to shot at the direction where the laser came. From above, a figure of a man blasted the ground around them, sending all of them in different directions. Some crash against the wall behind them, others landing roughly on the floor.
The man landed in front of one of the gang, who tried to shot against him but had his gun kicked away from his hand and his head stomped on the floor. Without look to where the next attack would come, the man pointed his cannon and shot a laser in another member of the thieves. The one with the shotgun tried to shot at him but the man merely tilted his head to the right dodging the shot. Trying another shot with the shotgun, the man grabbed the cannon of the gun and pointed to another direction a second before the thief pulled the trigger, then he had his face punched with force enough to send him flying back. Dropping two grenades, two thieves of the group stopped in the advance against the man to look in horror to the two black balls in their feet. Both grenades exploded in a flash blinding both thieves, who felt they heads being grabbed and bumped in each other with force enough to knock both them down.
The man seemed to the last of the group who was point his trembling gun against the man who just took care of the entire group with little effort. The man merely walked to the thief who began to shot with his gun, missing each shot by a yard as the man kept approaching.
He grabbed the thief by his neck and raised him above the ground, forcing him to look direction at the man's eyes covered with black glasses.
-W-who are you? –The thief asked.
-Someone that you and your buddies should worry about… a lot.
Was the last words the thief heard before receive a headbutt and lost consciousness.
The man walked away with his cannon in his shoulders after dump the trash.
Beacon - Team STRK Dorm room
-A group of thieves, all man, were found unconscious inside of a trash dumpster last night by the police of Vale. –Lisa Lavender spoke as the team STRK was watching the news. –After someone start to hear a commotion not far from where he lives, he gave a peek into his window and found a vigilant fighting the group of thieves.
-Vigilant? –Koro asked.
-You don't know about the vigilantes Koro? –His partner asked.
-I should?
-Well, considering your… late night activities, it is a surprise that you never meet one of them. –Sally said.
-You mean one of those dorks wearing Halloween costumes and pretending to be superheroes? –Koro asked.
-Of course not. –Sally said. –Vigilantes are something very common not only in Vale but as well in all the cities actually. When some people were not able to become hunstmens, they start to run around and making the job in their own way.
-They don't have permission or authority to act as they please. –Said Ryan. –Even like that they keep going after thieves and criminals and dealing with them in their own way.
-This doesn't sound so different from those Rogue Hunters I heard about. –Koro said.
-It's because different from the vigilantes, Rogue Hunters actually play by the rules. –Said Sally. –Vigilantes have their own way to deal with criminals like we just said. They went too far in their way and some criminals are sent critically injured to Police Stations or even end up killed by those vigilantes.
-And another words, they are also the bad guys?
-This actually is debatable. Some people actually like the vigilantes despite their actions. But it is not all of them who try to pretend to be the nice guy.
-I assume by this comment that you are not a fan of a vigilant Sally? –Ryan asked.
-Close to my house has a little village where some troublemakers used to cause a lot of ruckus, then come a man and kicked butts and not a day after this, he start to charge the people for his so called "services".
-If they not paid the price, he would leave them die with no care, right? –Koro asked.
-Pretty much.
-What happened to this guy? –Ryan asked.
-He came to my house and tried to charge my aunt for services she did not asked for, when she refused to pay he threatened her, and she kicked his butt. –Sally smiled at the memory. –But my opinion about vigilantes is not only about this man.
Koro listened the words his teammates, save for Unicorn, had just said to him. He start to wonder if ever would learn something in Beacon that is not boring enough to make him almost fall asleep. He also start to wonder how come in all his times stealing food, he never had meet one of those vigilantes before.
All he faced in the past was police officers and thieves but never someone who could be called a vigilant. Wait.
Koro was a vigilant before come to Beacon?
Most likely not.
He just used to steal food for his people and he did not think that would put him in the "vigilant" category.
In the end, it doesn't matter.
Koro already stole food during various nights before become a student, and not matter what, be a police officers, the White Fang or even the vigilantes, they would not stop him from help his friends.
Speaking of which, tonight he and Ryan would get some more food the academy "generously donated" to the poor people of Vale.
Vale - Business distric
The lone figure stood watching the city from a high perspective, watching the town as if was his homeland. His cannon seemed heavier than before and because of this, he knew the night would be rough.
There were things huntsmens could not do simple because of the rules they followed. He did not like those rules, it impossible for him to help those in need. So he decides to be one of those who have their own rules.
Criminals, thieves, rapist and murders deserve to suffer more than just stand behind the bars.
He did not care if they did this wishing for equality, if the White Fang cause trouble he will pay to them a visit, exactly like the last two times.
For a moment he thought he had been mistaken for the feel of his cannon. The night was very quiet, the only sounds he could hear were some cars running and some talk. He was about to turn around and look in some other place when found in the roofs two figures running. Holding hard his cannon, he followed them.
Ryan keep wonder how his partner continue to convince him to made part of his schemes to steal food from restaurants. At the moment he was holding a bag open while his partner threw food inside packages used for food to go. Throwing the last package, Koro landed on Ryan's left while the gunslinger closed the bag.
-I think we have enough.
-Remind me why you need me for this?
-Because you have hands. –Koro's answer only made Ryan frown. –C'mon. They are waiting.
- I'm going to want some compensation for that. –Ryan said throwing the bag over his shoulder and following the one-armed ninja. After a couple of steps, Ryan felt the unmistakable sensation of a laser hitting his back.
-What was that? –Koro asked turning around.
Ryan also turns to his back to see the figure of a man landing in front of them.
The man had his hair all bleached and some beard could be see. His eyes covered by red goggles and a black sweatband covering his forehead, a black overcoat over a grey shirt and black pants. In his hand a cannon long enough to match the size of a full grown man.
-You both choose the wrong town. –The man spoke.
Koro raise an eyebrow at the man's statement while Ryan was visible nervous.
-Man, you seems like just came from a comic book. –Koro spoke.
-When have you ever read a comic book?
-Shut up Ryan.
They would still be arguing if the man had not pulled the trigger of his cannon and shot another laser against Ryan like last time, absorbed the shot.
-Seems that shots won't work on you… but your friend for another side…
He pointed the cannon against Koro and shot. Koro immediately disappeared in a smoke screen making the laser hit the nearest wall. Koro reaper behind the man with his katana in his hand and brought the katana down, only for the man disappear in the air.
Ryan's eyes widened and he grabbed both his tomahawks and used one to block a stab from a knife attached on the man's cannon. He tried to hit Ryan with the handle of the cannon and Ryan blocked with his second tomahawk.
The man ducked a swing from Koro's katana and used to sweep kick to knock both boys from his feet. To his surprise both boys manage to land on their feet. Koro start to kick and attack with his katana but the man was able to block each attack with his cannon and with a protector in his wrist.
After disappear again dodging a vertical swing from Koro's blade, the man appeared again not far from where they were.
-This may take a while. –The man said before charge.
Part 2
Beacon – STRK Dorm room
Sally time from time had some feelings in her stomach. Her instinct was telling her that something was happening, and was not because of her semblance she felt that way. Looking through the window, she watched the city of Vale at the night, the buildings lights brightening the city just a little as something was happening.
-They are fine. –Unicorn spoke.
-I thought I was the one who could see the future. –Sally thought as she turns to her partner. –How are you so sure?
-And why are you worried?
-I just have this feeling…
-Like a hunch?
-It is more than a hunch. –Sally said and turns back to the window. –I felt that something is happening to Ryan and Koro.
-And like I told you last time, they can take care of themselves. –Unicorn said as she turned the page of the magazine she was reading.
Sally looks back to her partner and only prayed she was right. Was not the first time she had this sensation, and sometimes it did not end well for those close to her.
Vale
Ryan hates Koro, with every bit of his being.
He knew that soon or later this late night escapades would give him some problem, police, other thieves, and much more. The last thing he wanted to deal was a vigilant.
He crashed in a pile of trash after be hit by a ice shot from his enemy's cannon.
-So there is something what you cannot absorb. –The man said.
-Actually, I just take more time to absorb ice. –Ryan said still on the floor.
-I will gladly take note of that. –The man said as he pointed his cannon against Ryan.
Pulling the trigger, he lost the balance resulting with the shot hitting the wall followed by the fire escape above them when Koro wrapped his scarf on his ankle and pushed. He saw behind his goggles Koro falling in his direction with his katana ready to stab him. He rolled to the side and the blade of the katana buried deep in the ground.
The man kicked Koro away from his weapon and threw a grenade in his direction, which exploded in midair. The man back turns to Ryan, and saw the teenager gunslinger holding his tomahawk like a pistol which he used to shot the grenade in midair. Grabbing some throwing knives from his coat, he threw some against the gunslinger who shot each one with his revolvers, and wondering why he used those instead of his cannon.
The man charged against Ryan who prepared for the assault. He stopped and kicked the dirty on the floor against Ryan who felt what was left of the knives he just shot and then, the man punched Ryan expecting him to block, and as he did, he felt more of the knives shards press against his skin when he blocked the punch. Groaning in pain, the man took the opportunity to kick him in the stomach and hit his face with his cannon. Ryan resisted the strike on the face and attacked the man with his tomahawk. The vigilant saw the attack coming and tried to hold Ryan's wrist only to be pushed down by the gunslinger monstrous strength.
Koro reappeared and gave to the vigilant a sweep kick making him lost the balance and would be on the floor, if Ryan had not kicked his back, followed by Koro kicking his face, making him spin in midair but not lose focus, kicking both Ryan and Koro in the chest and pushing them away.
Ryan drew his revolvers and shot against the vigilant who rolled to the left and once was again in his feet, received a punch in the stomach from Koro who tried to give him a kick next. The man was able to get the leg before made contact with his face but felt something hard hit his cheek, making him lost the grip in the ankle and resulting with a knee in his chin.
Rolling away from the young ninja, he threw two more grenades against them both. Ryan shot one while Koro threw a fire shuriken against the other but instead of smoke, it come a blinding flash. Ryan covered his face trying to shield his eyes from the light, meaning that he was not able to see what was in front of him.
Ryan felt something sharp hit his shoulder and push him back until he hit the nearest wall, almost penetrating his aura. With Ryan temporally immobilized, the vigilant attacked Koro aiming his fist to the ninja's face. To his surprise the scarf wrapped around his wrist and hold his punch and he barely had time to react when Koro, with a ice kunai in his hand, gave a cut on the man's face. He did not stumbled back because the scart still was wrapped in his wrist. Next Koro attacked the man with the kunai a few times, not cutting his skin only because the man's aura. He dodged the last strike and head butt Koro with force enough to make him lost the strength on his scarf and release the man. He grabbed Koro by the neck and pushed him down to the floor and stomped his scarf to not make it move.
He aimed his cannon to the ninja's face and pulled the trigger. Even with his leg stomping hard the scarf, it was able to stretch and hit him straight on the chest, making him lost the balance and the laser fly straight ahead. Recovering quickly, the vigilant threw more knives against Koro who using the kunai, blocked all the knives but failed to notice one hit his scarf.
The man charged against the ninja again and Koro tried to use his scarf to attack but finally notice that it was trapped in the wall. This lost of focus allowed the vigilant to hit him in the face with a kick and push him back on the floor with a stomp. Followed by another stomp in Koro's arm.
-This time I will not miss. –The man said as he pointed again his weapon against Koro's face.
What come after what the strongest punch the vigilant ever felt in the right side of his stomach, followed by an uppercut then by a cut on his shoulders which forced him down to receive a knee on his chin. Despite all the damage he suffered, the vigilant was able to land on his feet to see Ryan getting Niji, Koro's katana, out of the floor to give back to his partner.
Ryan charged against the vigilant who got a machete from his overcoat. Ryan dodge the machete attacks by backing away from the first swing and ducking the second attack and cutting the back of the vigilant's knee with his tomahawk putting him on the knee. Koro jumped high behind him, aiming a kick to the back of his head. To the ninja's surprise the man dodge the kick and grabbed his ankle and threw him to Ryan, who was able to get hold of his partner and threw him back against the vigilant with his kanta armed.
The vigilant blocked the blade with his cannon and jumped away to dodge an attack from Ryan's tomahawk, then he ducked a swing from Koro's katana, side-stepped a kick from Ryan, blocked a attack from Koro, then blocked a strike from Ryan. The vigilant keep blocking the strikes from both partners as much he could until he transformed in a blur and was a few meters away from them, but had to block and dodge shot from Ryan's revolver and shurikens from Koro.
Ryan punched the floor making some of the electricity on his body spread around the floor, forcing the vigilant to back away more. He jumped and grabbed a fire escape to not be electrocuted. By Ryan's side, Koro made a fuma with fire dust and threw against the vigilant who used his cannon to shot against the fuma, exploding it. The vigilant used the smoke caused by the bomb to sneak behind the duo who still were facing the smoke waiting for the vigilant's next move.
He went up in the roofs and dashed past them and silently landed behind them. Aiming the cannon against Koro, he expected end with one of them to be better to deal with the second one. Before he could pull the trigger, Koro swung down his katana shooting a yellow arc of electric dust in his direction. The vigilant found no choice than use his semblance to dodge, becoming a blur again and dodging the flying arc, and his eyes widened when notices Ryan's fist a few meters from his face but he was fast enough to block with one of his arms, but the damage was too big.
-This guys strength… is enormous! –The vigilant thought. He was easily in the top ten strongest foes he ever faced, and the boy is just a teenager. The vigilant quickly had to jump to the side to not be hit by an electric chain but had to use the cannon to block a very strong shot from his revolver, nearly breaking his cannon. –If he hit my cannon again with those shots, it sure will break.
The vigilant had no time to lament the damage in his cannons Koro appeared from behind him and tried to stab him with his katana, but the vigilant notices the young ninja and side stepped and grabbed the blade and then, he elbowed Koro's face and kicked his stomach.
Ryan jumped and tried to cut him with his tomahawk and the vigilant just ducked and head butt Ryan's face and tried to punch his face, but Koro's scarf wrapped around his wrist and he received a cut from the tomahawk on the face. He grabbed Ryan's wrist before the second swing cut his face and kneed his stomach, pushed Koro's scarf and kicked the ninja and then, gave a cut on his face with the machete. He then hit Ryan with the back of his cannon and kicked Koro on the knee, elbowed his cheek but was kicked in the belly by Koro while he rolled on the floor. After that he had to dodge the strike of the tomahawk from Ryan by pulling away from the gunslinger while pointing his cannon charged with ice dust against him. To his surprise Ryan was able to duck the shot and approach him quickly, kicking his knee, punching his collarbone and kicking him away with the sole of his sandals.
The vigilant quickly recovered and shot against three ice shurikens Koro tried to throw against him. Koro made a motion with his hand and pointed against the vigilant with two fingers, releasing a lighting spear against his opponent. The vigilant's eyes widened when saw the spear coming and tried to jump away, but found himself being held tight by Ryan from behind. He was about to shout that he was going to be hit too only to remember that Ryan can absorb energy.
The lighting spear hit both Ryan and the vigilant, electrocuting the later while Ryan absorbed the electricity damaging their foe. Ryan released the vigilant whose fell in his knees, not noticing Ryan raising his fist high and bringing down against the back of his head. The force behind the strike was strong enough to bury his face on the concrete of the floor, knocking him unconscious.
Panting heavily, Ryan and Koro approached the unconscious vigilant with their guard still closed, not wanting to give the vigilant a chance.
-That… was… something… -Koro said while panting. He did not have this kind of workout make a while now.
-Oh shut up. –Ryan complained. –What's up with this guy?
-This seems like some lame plot twist if you ask to me. –Koro said. –We just have a talk about vigilantes this morning and we meet one in the same night.
-Destiny is a cruel lady. –Ryan said while sitting on the floor.
-What we will do with him?
-We give him to the police?
-I'm not very popular with the police Ryan.
-What surprise. –Ryan sarcastically said. –We can't leave him unconscious. Who knows what will happen to him.
-Oh I know. –An unknown voice spoke. Ryan and Koro turns to see a man with a purple mohawk standing not far from where they were. Alongside him, more guys with punk rock hairstyle. –It has been a while since this guy keep interfering with our business. Thanks a lot for make our job easy.
-From what I can understand, you punks are criminals and could not act while this guy was around. –Koro spoke.
–But then you guys heard a commotion going and went to see to discover us fighting against him. So you guys waited for him be defeated or beat us and be too much tired to defends himself from all of you. –Ryan spoke.
-Nothing personal. –One of them said. –It is just business.
-Now how about you guys leave so we can deal with him?
After the last sentence was said, the men took from their back anything they could use for a weapon, pieces of wood, pipes, baseball bats, and knives. Ryan looks at them and look back at the unconscious vigilant, and let out a deep sigh.
-You will do this, will not you? –Koro asked.
Ryan's answer was charge some of his electricity and shot at the feet of the aggressors. Distracted with the little explosion, Ryan took the opportunity to get the vigilant from the floor and screamed:
-Legs why I want you! –And run away. Koro following behind.
End of the chapter.
See you next time.
