So how about that season finale RWBY? Hammer Flower is now canon. And oh my gosh there is a traitor! And Cinder really hates RWBY.
Also I have been watching Zero Period Productions quite a bit, and I'm up to date with his current play through of the Maids II Deception Mod. How would I describe it? Well I'll just use what I saw in a youtube comment.
Start of Mod: Here's a little underground village and a girl whom you can dress up however you want.
End of Mod: Existence itself is being threatened by an enigmatic villain who shouldn't reasonably exist within this setting and you have no way of actually stopping her.
Holy crap what a Mod. I look forward to Zero finishing it.
Anyway the deadline for the pairing for Kyr is right before his character arc which I'm just going to come out and call the Volkahir arc. If you haven't suggested a pairing by then Kyr is going with Seranna. All other pairing suggestions have the deadline of right before the dance.
As a reminder here are the pairings so far:
Blake x Sun
Jaune x Pyrrha
Weiss x Getsuga
Kuyou x Velvet
Nora x Ren
Please leave suggestions in a review or a PM even.
Was there something else? I can't remember.
Disclaimer: I do not own Skyrim or RWBY, if I did, the Empire wouldn't have left a terrible first impression.
Chapter 3: The Badge and the Burden and the Tale of Two Leaders
The next morning Team SVGD was unpacking after getting into their school uniforms (Getsuga refused to get rid of his gloves).
Kyr had a few of his books that the Shnee expedition team that found him managed to salvage, Getsuga suggested Tuskon's Book Trade for modern rewrites of some of his old favorites.
Silver had his trophy from when he won the recent Mistral regional championship.
Kuyou had a Wanted Poster of a man with silver hair, the name on the Poster said "Smoke."
Getsuga had picture of a younger version of himself with a woman with snow white hair, ruffling his hair with one hand, and the other hair drinking from a flask, looking like she wasn't expecting a camera to be there.
This Woman was Eisen Shnee, and unbeknownst to most people at the time, she was Weiss's mother.
They then proceeded to convert their beds into Bunk Beds.
After they were done Getsuga and Kuyou suddenly covered their ears.
"I think Ruby just blew a whistle," said Getsuga.
"Let's get to class, its 8:20 right now," said Silver.
They then walked over to Professor Port's Class, where the professor was waiting.
There was also a rabbit Faunus there which Kuyou actually blushed at for a moment.
They took their seats as Teams RWBY and JNPR barely made it on time.
Professor Port waited for them to take their seats before he began his lecture.
"Monsters, Demons, Prowlers of the night, yes the Creatures of Grimm have many names, but I like to refer to them as prey, haha…"
There was an awkward silence.
"…And you shall too upon graduating from this prestigious acadamey." Professor Port continued as he continued his lecture then gave a story.
"The moral of the story, A true huntsman must be honorable, a true huntsman must dependable, a true huntsman must be strategic, well educated, and wise."
"So who amongst you believes themselves to be the embodiment of these qualities?" Professor Port Asked.
"I do sir!" shouted Weiss.
Getsuga looked up in surprise. Winter was never this arrogant.
Kyr smirked but only the rest of their team knew why.
"Well then," said Port, "Let's find out, step forward and face your opponent."
A cage started to rattle.
Weiss's teammates cheered her on, but she yelled at Ruby specifically.
A Borbatusk came out of the cage as Weiss fought it.
She struggled while constantly berating Ruby even when she gave her actual good advice.
Which she eventually followed anyway.
"Well it looks like we are indeed in the presence of a true huntress," said Professor Port, "Be we are now out of time, remember to stay vigilant, class dismissed."
Ruby tried following Weiss as she stormed out of the class.
"Weiss!" Ruby called.
"What!" snapped Weiss.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you being" Ruby began to ask before Weiss interrupted.
"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you? You're supposed to be a leader and all you've been so far is nuisance."
"What'd I do?" Ruby asked.
"That's just it, you've done nothing to earn your position," said Weiss, "Back in the forest you acted like a child and you continue to do so."
"Weiss, where is all of this coming from?" Ruby asked, "What happened to working together as a team."
"Not a team led by you, I've studied and trained, and quite frankly I deserve better," said Weiss, "Ozpin made a mistake," she added before walking off.
Ruby looked down before she heard a voice say, "Well Getsuga owes Kyr 50 lien."
Ruby looked to see the face of Silver Draconis.
"Is she right, did Ozpin make a mistake?" she asked.
Silver chuckled, "That remains to be seen, it's only been one day after all, and as the saying in my family goes," he began, "Cyrodil wasn't built in a day."
Ruby perked up at that, "Heck I bet even the legendary General Stormblade started out as a force of nature after only one day," Silver added.
Then Kuyou showed up, "Say wanna hit the library and work on that assignment?" he asked Ruby and Silver.
"Where's the rest of your team?" Ruby asked.
"Well Getsuga's hitting the gym for some practice, and Kyr is off to lecture Weiss."
(Beacon terrace)
Weiss was standing at the terrace looking at the view when she heard a voice say, "I'm not perfect but I'm still leagues better than you."
She turned around to see Kyr standing there, "Your words not mine," he added when she did so.
"I don't appreciate your animosity towards Ruby," he said.
"She's a child," Weiss tried to argue.
"So are you," said Kyr glaring.
"How dare you," said Weiss angrily, "You're only two years older than me."
"You're right," said Kyr surprising Weiss, "That is a nice scar on your eye bye the way," he added.
Weiss was confused by that and even more shocked when he just ripped his uniform off exposing his bare chest and back.
"Now look at all of mine," he said.
"When you compare all of these to your one measly scar, you are a child compared to me," he said, "Especially if you throw a temper tantrum after not getting your way."
Weiss looked down at that.
"But that's not the main reason I came to speak to you," said Kyr causing Weiss to look up confused.
"The main reason I came was to tell you a story. A tale of two leaders."
"Who are they?" asked Weiss genuinely curious.
"These are the tales of Ulfric Stormcloak, the High King of Skyrim, and of Aster, the leader of the Dark Brotherhood. Ulfric did everything he could to free Skyrim from the Empire and by extension, the Thalmor. He even went so far as to kill the previous High King Torygg in a duel. Ulfric received a lot of hate, even to the point of people twisting the story. Like saying that he murdered the High King and forgetting that the duel even happened. But Ulfric never let that get to him. He fought until he eventually drove the empire out of Skyrim. Eventually a moot was held and he was voted to be the next High King."
"Now Astrid was the leader of a group of assassins, the Dark Brotherhood, I hear they still exist today. But anyway for the longest time Astrid ran the Dark Brotherhood her own way, even going so far as to ignore the five tenants which govern the organization. Deciding that since she's the leader her word is Law. Everything began to change when the Keeper bright the Coffin containing the Night Mother to their sanctuary. For during that span of time, the newest assassin in the Brotherhood, who was also now considered the best, turned out to be the Listener, which by tradition would be the rightful leader of the Dark Brotherhood for it was the listener that could hear the voice of the Night Mother. Despite never voicing any opinions about being the rightful leader, Astrid felt threatened by the Listener, it eventually got to a point where Astrid made a deal with a Commader Maro that if she sold the Listener out to him, he would allow the Dark Brotherhood to continue to exist. So the Listener walked right into Commander Maro's trap while pulling off a contract that would make the Dark Brotherhood go down in history. But just like Astrid betrayed the Listener, Commander Maro betrayed Astrid. And he sent his army to demolish the Dark Brotherhood. The only survivors were a redguard, a vampiric child, the Keeper who was absent, and the Listener who survived Maro's trap, and came to try to help the Brotherhood. Everyone else, including Astrid, perished."
"So Weiss in conclusion, the way I see it you are like Astrid, I suggest you stop this self-centered attitude you have or you might end up the same way."
"You seem pretty knowledgeable about a group of assassins," said Weiss sounding suspicious.
Kyr just pulled out his dagger the Blade of Woe. "You remember how my Storm Blade is a relic from the Stormcloak rebellion?" asked Kyr.
Weiss nodded. "You didn't think it was the only thing I had from that era did you?"
Weiss looked wide eyed, "I already said that this dagger has a tragic history. This dagger was Astrid's dagger. And it was also the very dagger that ended her life, by the Listener's hand."
"Think about what I said Weiss, oh and could you do me a favor and go find Getsuga at the gym and tell me he owes me 50 Lien?"
"Why can't you do it yourself?" asked Weiss.
"I need a new uniform, I really was not thinking that part through," said Kyr scratching the back of his neck awkwardly.
Chapter End…
Yeah I really have no good excuse for why this is taking so long. I didn't even get this betaed cuz I feel I've already kept you waiting long enough. I was originally planning to add Weiss talking to Getsuga in the gym this chapter do this chapter being short. This conversation with Getsuga is important to the plot and Getsuga's character in general. I'll go into that next chapter as well as hint at some of Getsuga's backstory. Also one more thing I need to say, some of you may have noticed that I never said what kind of faunus Getsuga is supposed to be. That is not a blunder or oversight, it's is intentional. I tend to reveal that in the finale of Vol 2.
Anyway if you have any questions, comments, concerns, constructive criticism, suggestions, or you just wanna say hi, leave a review.
Now as per my current schedule my next fic update will be Shadows of Remnant.
