AN: Thank you everybody once again for sticking around to read this and reviewing. It has come to my attention that I had left some things unsaid in the previous chapter and I'm here to answer some of them; mainly because I don't feel like putting it in the chapter (fucking lazy am I right?).
withdranwnmadness000: Didn't consider it flame, I more or less considered it as a helpful tip. To answer your question about Ares' hair think of it as James Heller's buzz cut from prototype 2 but just a little longer. For Ares being able to read I'll have something planned for him and the siblings in the future so don't worry, and for the Behemoth and Gorgon I'll also have something planned for them as well. Anyways for the names I actually like Arachne for the Gorgon so I'll consider it as one of the top names to name her, but the Behemoth I'm feeling kind of iffy about, but overall thank you for pointing out some flaws and I look forward to reading more of your RWBY stories.
dracohalo 117: Yeah you can tell me about the ideas I don't care; just no pairing ideas because I told one of my friends about it and she wanted me do a pairing and a lemon so I said "Yeah... no." so anyways feel free to shoot some ideas.
animeandgamerlover2: As for the system I play on it's an Xbox One so sorry if you're a PS4 user.
One last thing I promise; I decided to add the Elder Kraken in honor of one of my friend's late dad since he was like another father figure to me. So without further adieu let's roll on with the story.
A yelp of pain echoed throughout the forest followed by the tearing of flesh and snapping of bone. A Beowolf's body slumped to the ground with its neck in an awkward angle and blood pouring out of it; Ares stepped over the body and stared at the rest of the pack as they slowly backed up and stared at him in caution. One Beowolf tried its luck and tried to lunge at him only for Ares to grab it by the neck and slowly squeeze it until his claws dug into its neck; the Beowolf tried to pry Ares' hands off its neck but stopped when it felt its throat ripped out. Ares let the body slump to the ground in a suffocating heap and glanced back at the rest of the pack who were backing away further while slightly whimpering, growling slightly at their cowardliness Ares charged the nearest Beowolf and lifted it above his head before bringing the grimm's back on his right knee drawing a loud crack from the grimm's spine. Ares threw the body at another Beowolf that tried to tackle him knocking it down, he then marched over to the Beowolf and curb stomped its head turning it into a mix of blood, brain matter, and skull fragments. He then looked at the remaining four of the pack that had twenty original members and smiled at them showing his razor sharp canines.
The rest of the pack decided that this monster was going to kill them if they didn't run, so they chose what any animal did when facing an apex predator... they ran. Ares snorted in amusement at these so called predators and turned to look at the academy. Sensing that it was almost dawn he decided to make his way back but not before grabbing the golden stinger of the Deathstalker he had killed earlier; on his way back he felt as if something was watching him, numerous occasions on Shear taught him that something was always watching you. Ares looked around and sniffed the air and caught a small trace of poison, dismissing it from staying up all night he made his way back to Beacon with a Deathstalker stinger in tow. What he didn't see was a figure slowly descend to the ground using webs as a rope and watch him leave before leaping back up into the trees and disappear into the night.
Arriving at the entrance of the school Ares pondered how he was going to get in without drawing suspicion; he noted that the dorm room window the girls and Ken resided in was to small to fit the stinger in and the front entrance was probably going to be crawling with students in a few hours. The back entrance seemed like the most logical solution but he noticed that there was a teacher patrolling there every so often when Rei, Ken, and him jumped out of the tower and explored the campus; sighing in annoyance he decided to go through the front doors and make his way to the dorm room. The halls were quiet and peaceful it was... nice for once; no wildlife trying to kill you, hunter trying to kill you, and scientist trying to capture you. That quiet and peacefulness only last for five minutes before a green blur sped through the hallway and knocked Ares into the wall.
"Oh goodness are you alright young sir?" A green haired individual asked in a fast voice. Ares shook his head before he got a look at the man in front of him; he had messy green hair, glasses, a white shirt that was partially tucked, a yellow tie, and mismatched shoes.
"Are you alright?" The man repeated. Ares nodded his head and began to make his way back to the dorm room only for the man to speed in front of him.
"Where are my manners, my name is Doctor Bartholomew Oobleck. And you are?" Dr. Oobleck asked quickly. Ares just stared at the man with a neutral expression and walked past him dragging the Deathstalker tail; Oobleck once again sped in front of Ares making him scowl at the speedster.
"Sir, I believe I didn't catch your name." Oobleck stated.
"Because I didn't, now leave me alone." Ares huffed in annoyance drawing a confused look from the doctor.
"What type of language is that? It doesn't sound native." Oobleck observed while cupping his chin.
"No shit. Can you move so I can be on my way." Ares growled.
"Hmm, what type of faunus are you? There aren't any recorded that have spikes on their backs and a barbed tail. Are you part of a lost tribe?" Oobleck quickly asked while getting closer to Ares.
"I'm a Goliath, now move before I move you." Ares snarled while stepping closer to Oobleck.
"It seems you do not want me here at this moment." Oobleck mused.
"Holy shit! God gave this man some common sense!" Ares replied sarcastically.
"Can I ask you a quick question?" Oobleck asked; Ares just sighed in annoyance before grabbing Oobleck's arms and lifting him up.
"Ohhh, is this a greeting gesture in your tribe?" Oobleck asked curiously.
"No, it's a fuck off gesture." Ares replied setting the shorter man down before grabbing the Deathstalker stinger and walking off towards the dorm room.
Ares finally arrived at the dorm room and knocked a couple of times, hearing no reply he knocked a bit louder making somebody groan and open the door. He was met with a half awake Yang in black shorts and an orange tank top; she looked at Ares then at her scroll to see what time is was then back at him before shrugging and going back to sleep. Shrugging at her actions he came across a rather peculiar sight; Ken was sleeping in between Ruby and Weiss while Rei was snuggled against Blake snoring softly. Ares looked out the window and saw the sun was rising before looking back at the six individuals; he went over to Blake's bed and leaned over Blake to wake up Rei. She began to groan and shift in Blake's grasp as Ares shook her.
"Ares... go away." Rei groaned tiredly. Blake began to shift in her sleep and groggily wake up, only to catch a site of Ares chest near her face. She blushed a deep shade of red and tried to look away but for some reason her eyes always drifted back to them, she then noticed Ares' gaze and directed hers to what he was looking at. Rei was still snuggled against her and started smacking her brother's hand away to let her sleep more.
"Fine... I guess you don't want the shiny thing I brought back after all." Ares said. Rei bolted upright startling Blake and making her quietly yelp in surprise making Ares look at her, she blushed at him as he gazed at her before snorting in amusement.
"Okay I'm up! Where is it?! Where's the shiny thing you brought us?!" Rei quickly asked while looking around.
"Not so fast baby sis. We still need to wake Ken up." Ares said as he moved over to Ruby, Weiss, and Ken.
"Good luck with that, he seems really latched onto them for some reason." Rei said while going back to snuggling against Blake.
"Why are you still snuggling against me?" Blake asked.
"Because you're so warm~" Rei said as she rubbed her face against Blake's arm.
"Hehe okay, but for five more minutes only." Blake said while pulling the girl into a hug.
"Awwww but why?" Rei groaned.
"Because we have classes for today." Blake explained in a soft tone.
"Ugh fiiiiinne." Rei huffed, "Ares how do you plan on waking Ken up?" Rei asked.
"Don't know I haven't thought about that ye-" Ares stopped when he looked back at Rei.
"What?" She asked.
"Why are you cuddling her like that?" Ares asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Because she's so warm~" Rei said. Ares looked at her with a deadpanned expression then at Blake with the same expression.
"H-hey don't look at me like that. She just won't let go." Blake said waving her hands. Ares just rolled his eyes before setting them back on Ken and them. He sighed wondering how he was going to do this: One option is he could just do what he did with Rei but that would take to long, another option is what he could do yesterday and scare him but he could harm the two around him, the final option is to threaten to take the giant stinger away. After giving a quick thought he chose the third option.
"Ken wake up or I'm going to take the shiny object away." Ares brusquely said. Ken bolted upright startling Ruby and Weiss awake making them look around frantically before setting their eyes on the boy between them in confusion.
"Where is it?! Where is it?! WHERE IS IT?!" Ken said frantically before leaping out of the bed and jumping up to Ares' face and grabbing it before pulling it down so it was eye level to him. Ares slowly grabbed Ken's face and pushed it away from him before standing up to his full height.
"It's down the hallway because the thing is massive and wouldn't fit." Ares explained
"Come on let's go see it!" Ken yelled while trying to pull Ares, "Why. Won't. You. Move?" Ken asked while struggling to move his brother even an inch. Eventually he gave up and slumped down to the ground after exerting himself to much from the pulling.
"Because Rei won't let go of Blake." Ares replied while looking at the two before sitting in front of Weiss and Ruby's bunk; both of the girls laughing at the situation before them.
Ken looked at his sister, "Rei are you serious?! You're giving up the shiny to cuddle with her?!" Ken pretty much shouted.
"Yes!" Rei shouted in a muffled voice since it was against Blake's stomach.
"But whyyy?" Ken groaned.
"Like I told Ares. She's just so warm~" Rei said.
"Oh come on! She can't be that warm." Ken said in a matter of fact tone.
"Why don't you come over here and find out?" Rei challenged.
"B-because I don't want to." Ken said as he crossed his arms.
"I think you're just chicken." Rei replied back with a grin.
"I am not." Ken huffed.
"If you're not chicken then you wouldn't have a problem seeing how warm Blake is." Rei said.
"F-fine if I see how warm she is will you let go Rei?" Ken asked.
"Yes." She answered. Ken just rolled his eyes before going up to Blake and hugging her before realizing how warm she was and cuddled against her like his sister is doing.
"You're so warm~" Ken said as he nuzzled against Blake who groaned.
"Why is this happening to me?" Blake groaned as both younger siblings nuzzled into her.
"Blake that is so cute!" Ruby squealed as she pulled out her scroll and to take a picture.
"Ruby no!" Blake yelled as she tried to move.
*Click*
Ruby fist pumped at the successful picture and saved it. Ares' hand suddenly had a strange attraction to his face as they both met each other; knowing this could go on for hours (he should know he had to deal with it) he decided to help Blake out. Ares calmly walked over to the three and started to pry the siblings off of Blake who also helped.
"Nyuuuuuu" Rei groaned as she was losing her grip and finally let go before Ares threw her over his shoulder. Rei was easy to pry off... Ken on the other hand wasn't; Weiss, Ruby, and Yang (who had been silently recording the whole thing from her bunk) had to help pry Ken off who finally let go after his hands got clammy. Ares threw Ken over his shoulder just like he did with Rei to prevent them from going after Blake again.
"Alright you three you got to get out." Yang said while stretching.
"Why?" Ken asked.
"Because you three can't watch us change kid." Yang explained. Ares didn't need to be told twice and opened the door with the help of Ruby and walked out to let the girls change.
30 minutes later:
The girls finally walked out of the room in their uniforms and saw that the siblings were waiting there. Ares had his arms stretched out while Rei and Ken were swinging from them while giggling. The four girls started laughing a bit at their antics before Ken finally noticed them.
"Oh hey guys!" He greeted while still swinging from Ares' left arm.
"Hey kid" Yang said with a grin, "Mind explaining to us why you're swinging from big man's arms." Yang said with a raised eyebrow.
"We usually do this when we're bored." Rei answered while swinging.
"How often do you do this?" Weiss asked.
"A lot. We do it for a long time too." Ken said while Ares just shuddered at the memory of them swinging from his arms for hours straight.
"Well anyways let's go get breakfast before it's gone." Blake said.
"Okay!" Ken said as he jumped down from Ares' arm and ran down the hallway while Rei did the same. A couple of seconds later the girls heard a scream and dashed down the hallway to see Rei and Ken with open jaws staring at something. The girls slowly rounded the corner and followed their gaze at the object they were staring at before their jaws dropped to the floor; around the corner was a severed Deathstalker stinger. Ares calmly walked around the corner to see that Rei and Ken saw the shiny object he had grabbed for them and smiled when they ran up to him; he leaned down so they could hug him.
"Ares! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Rei squealed in gratitude a she hugged him tightly.
"Yeah! Thanks big bro!" Ken had shouted while hugging him. The girls just stared at them before turning their attention back to the stinger.
"H-how is this here?" Ruby asked with wide eyes.
"I killed it and brought it here." Ares said.
"Uhhhhh..." Ruby scratched her head not understanding.
"He said he killed it and brought it here." Rei translated. Ruby's eyes bulged at what Ares said before speeding up to his face making him back up.
"That's so cool! What weapon did you use?!" She asked excitedly.
"My bare hands." Ares stoically stated.
"My bare hands" Rei translated in a similar expression as Ares trying to mock him; Ruby's eyes practically bulged out of her head at the person in front of her.
"So let me get this straight... you killed one of the most dangerous grimm types out there with your bare hands?" Weiss asked with a raised eyebrow. Ares just nodded his head at her question before picking his siblings back up.
"I don't believe it. And how did you dismember it and bring it here without it disappearing?" She asked; Ares just looked at her and shrugged before walking off to the cafeteria.
The six arrived at the cafeteria and Ruby and Weiss took the younger two to go get some food while Blake and Yang looked around for a table. The three found an empty table and sat at it while discussing a few things... well two were discussing the third was just had his head in his arms while slightly swaying his tail. Ares began tapping his claws against the table to alleviate some of the boredom while his siblings got their food. Blake and Yang noticed his impatience and decided to try to strike up a conversation with him.
"Hey Ares." Yang said grabbing his attention, "Where's your parents? Because I didn't see them with you guys." Yang asked him; Ares just stared at her with a neutral expression making her uncomfortable as he just gazed at her. For the next few minutes he just gave that soul piercing gaze that made her shift in her seat uncomfortably before she decided to speak up.
"O-okay I see that's a touchy subject and you don't feel like talking that's cool." Yang said nervously, "Just please stop staring at me like that." She pleaded. Ares just blinked a few times before looking in another direction and started his tapping again, he caught site of the four people from yesterday making their way towards them.
"Hey guys." Jaune greeted at the three.
"Hey vomit boy." Yang teased.
"When are you going to stop calling me that?" Jaune asked crestfallen as Pyrrha just patted his back.
"Hmm, probably never." Yang said happily.
"So where's Ruby and Weiss?" Pyrrha asked as she looked around for them.
"There in line with Rei and Ken getting breakfast." Blake answered reading her book.
"Oh, soooo did you guys do the paper for Oobleck?" Jaune asked trying to strike up a conversation.
"Oh crap that was due today?!" Yang shouted.
"Yes Blake, we discussed this two days ago." Blake said impassively flipping a page of her book.
"Shoot... Well time to copy of Weiss again." Yang shrugged, the rest just laughed. Ruby, Weiss, Rei, and Ken arrived at the table with food and drinks on their trays.
"Weiss. Paper for Oobleck. Now." Yang said.
"No. Why didn't you do it?" Weiss asked.
"Because I forgot and I wasn't asking. Yoink." Yang said as she snatched the papers from Weiss and began copying them down.
"Hey!" Weiss exclaimed as she tried to grab them back but Yang used her hand to stop the girl's advance. Rei and Ken giggled in amusement while watching the two girls bicker, they began shoveling the food into their mouths quickly before Ares had to slow them down.
"Slow down you two, it's not going anywhere." He warned them as Rei began to eat more slowly but Ken kept up his speed.
"Ken I just told you to slow down." Ares berated.
"But I'm hungry..." Ken groaned.
"I know you are, but if you eat that fast you'll get a stomach ache and have problems in the future." Ares said.
"Fine..." Ken grumbled and began to eat more slowly. Team JNPR watched the three interact and wondered what language the older one known as Ares used, it didn't sound native.
"What type of language is that?" Jaune asked and Ares looked at him making him slightly shiver in his seat at the older brother's gaze.
"Oh... It's our native language I guess." Ken shrugged while shoveling food back in his mouth.
"That's cool, what's it called." Jaune asked.
"I dunno." Ken shrugged again looking at Jaune.
"Wait so even you don't know what it's called." Pyrrha asked causing Rei to look at her.
"Nope." Rei giggled as she looked back at her food only to frown.
"Ken did you take my food?" She asked as she looked at her brother.
"No, why do you always think I take your food?" Ken asked back.
"Because you're always the one to take my food when you think you don't have enough." She explained.
"Well it wasn't me this time. It was Ares." Ken said pointing his them to Ares who had a piece of bacon in his mouth, he then scowled at his younger brother.
"You little fucker." Ares growled. Ken and Rei gasped covering their mouths with their hands.
"Language!" They both shouted in unison; Ares just rolled his eyes before swallowing the rest of the bacon piece. The two teams just laughed and began to discuss future assignments before the cafeteria doors opened. Ozpin and Glynda walked towards the two teams and quickly greeted them before saying they needed to speak to the three siblings privately; the siblings followed the two adults outside and began to discuss a certain matter with them.
Outside of the cafeteria Ozpin, Glynda, and the siblings were discussing the matter at hand.
"Due to you three being different ages I have unfortunately had to make a somewhat difficult decision, you three must be separated during your classes." Ozpin informed much to Ares' dismay as he started growling and placing Ken and Rei behind him.
"But what'll happen to Ares?" Rei asked.
"He'll attend our normal classes while you two will go with someone special." Ozpin explained.
"Who are we going with?" Ken asked them clinging to Ares' leg.
"You'll be going with the school's doctor Mrs. Miles. " Glynda answered, she then noticed that Ares had tightened his grip on the siblings and the younger two seemed to shrink back at the mention of the doctor. Ozpin noticed this as well and tried to mitigate the situation.
"Do not worry they'll be in good hands." Ozpin tried and noticed that the older brother wasn't budging, "If it makes you feel any better you can visit them periodically throughout the day." Ozpin said and noticed this seemed to have an effect as Ares' grip loosened and Rei and Ken relaxed.
"How often will he get to see us?" Rei asked.
"A total of three times a day." Ozpin said.
"...Okay I guess that's fine then..." Ken said quietly and looked up at Ares who looked down at the two.
"Alright... you two try to be on your best behavior okay?" Ares asked as he knelt down to their level.
"Alright, we will." Rei said hugging him, "What if we're in trouble?" She asked.
"Don't worry, if you're in trouble just run until you find me or scream for help and I'll be there right by your side and deal with the problem." He said.
"You promise?" Ken asked.
"Cross my heart." Ares said while putting his hand against his heart.
"Okay we believe you." Rei said as she and Ken hugged Ares before walking up to Glynda; Ares then walked up to Glynda.
"If they have a single scratch on them I'll hold you and your staff accountable and let me tell you I'll hunt every one of you down and rip you apart until you're nothing but a pile of steamy pile of flesh." Ares threatened; while Glynda didn't understand any of it but she assumed it was a threat regarding the safety of his siblings and nodded before leading the children to the doctor.
"Do not worry Mr. Ares the doctor loves children they're in safe hands." Ozpin said. "While I would usually say this is where we part ways but I must inform you that this school enforces uniforms." He explained. Ares stared at the headmaster stoically for a few seconds before one thought came through his mind.
"You've go to be fucking kidding me." He deadpanned.
In Port's classroom:
Everybody in Port's class was dying; not from being shot at, stabbed, or eaten by grimm but by boredom.
"But the mighty Nevermore was no match for my bravery and skill ha ha." Port laughed and began to tell another story.
"Is it me or does it seem like Port is extra boring today?" Yang asked as she set her head down in her arms.
"Yeah it does." Ruby replied, "Blake what do you think?" She asked.
"Yup." Blake answered reading her book.
"Will you three be quiet?! I'm trying to take notes." Weiss hissed looking at Port before quickly writing something down. The classroom door opened and drew the attention of everyone, stepping through the doorway stood Ares in a uniform although with some key differences. His blazer was unbuttoned and his shirt wasn't tucked in while his tie rested in his hands. His blazer and shirt has numerous holes in it from the spikes on his back protruding out and his pants had a hole in it for his tail to go through.
"Well you must be the new student I was informed of." Port mused, "Well since you're here you might as well take a seat." He said. Ares nodded and began to walk towards the girls hearing murmurs from numerous people and promptly ignored them as he took a seat next to Blake. The girls looked at him amusement as he shifted uncomfortably in his current attire. Port began to tell another story on how he took down a Nevermore; meanwhile while the rest of the student body fell asleep or began to look at their scrolls; Ares merely listened to the older man's story in amusement and took mental notes at the hidden teachings the man said in his stories.
"Alright young huntsman and huntresses who will test their might against the ferocious beast in the cage?" Port asked as no one raised their hands, "Hmm, mister Ares how would you like to battle the beast in the cage?" He asked. Ares just shrugged and walked towards the center of the classroom and stood there swaying his tail.
"Young man don't you want to change your current outfit?" Port asked. Ares just shook his head and gestured for Port to open the cage, Port then swung his axe down on the cage releasing the grimm inside. A boarbatusk walked out of the cage and saw Ares as its first target and squealed in fury at him before rolling up into a ball and shooting towards him. Ares sidestepped to his left as the boarbatusk rolled past him before uncurling itself to turn towards him; both of them glared at each other before the boarbatusk curled into a ball and began rolling towards him again. Ares then sidestepped to the right as it zoomed past him and collided with a wall, taking this chance he shoulder charged into it making it fall to the ground before he grabbed one of its tusk and broke it boarbatusk squealed in pain before it quickly got up and smacked Ares away with the remaining tusks. With the tusk still in his hand Ares waited for the grimm to roll again, as it began to curl up into a ball and roll towards its victim it was suddenly stopped and thrown into the wall leaving it dazed. While the boarbatusk was on the ground Ares marched up to it with its tusk in his hand and proceeded to stab it multiple times in the stomach before quickly stabbing it through the side of the head making the tusk come out the other side.
"Well if I do say so myself that was quite the show young man!" Port laughed twitching his mustache. Ares just shrugged at the man's behavior and walked back to his seat before sitting down next to Blake again. The team stared at him in awe and began asking questions.
"That was amazing!" Ruby whispered as she stared at him and he just shrugged at her.
"Yeah it was. You've got to show me how to do that." Yang said.
"While as brutish and uncoordinated as it was I must admit it was impressive." Weiss said as she went back to writing notes.
"It was good." Blake said reading her book.
"But before the Ursa had a chance to devour me I-" Port was interrupted when the bell rang. "Oh...well it seems my time is up. Have a good day students!" He laughed. The students filed out of the classroom and made their way to the next class. Due to him and his siblings only knowing team RWBY Ozpin decided to give him the same schedule (Fucking convenient right?) to help them better familiarize themselves with the school. The five then entered the next classroom and Ares saw the same green haired speedster he encountered in the hallway and tried to walk out only for said man to recognize him.
"It's you! Oh we have so much to discuss about the tribe you were part of!" Oobleck said excitedly.
"...Are you shitting me?" Ares deadpanned.
Well it seems you all are enjoying the fuck out of this story so far and thanks for sticking with it.
