Man this has taken a while to get started. Allow me to explain, after I finished the last chapter of Shadows of Remnant, I was given a chance to do a Reading of Team Monochrome. That is still in progress, but I've just been in a Skyrim mood lately, and I've been receiving so many alerts of people favoriting and following this fic. Let me just say, I am so happy that so many people love this fic. It is my second most liked fic so far. I would like to ask you all to keep an eye out for a couple of fics I'm planning. One is a multi-crossover of Dragonfable, Star vs the Forces of Evil, Gravity Falls, Fire Emblem Awakening, Fire Emblem Fates, Undertale, and Skyrim. I'll have more to say about it at the end of this chapter. The other is secret project. I'll give a hint, it's a crossover where one is more well known universe, while the other is one that not only receives little love on fan fiction, but also is a hidden gem in its respective field.
Anyway at the moment I plan to at least alternate between this fic and the reading when it comes to writing, so at the time I'm typing this A/N I don't even know what will come out first.
If this chapter seems short, that would be because it was originally supposed to be part of the last chapter, but wasn't because I felt bad for keeping you all waiting that long. This part is going to focus on Getsuga and Weiss.
As for the pairings, thank you to those who voted, it appears people like Kyr x Serana. There was one vote for Silver x Pyrrha, but while I'm willing to be flexible, I'm not going to break up Arkos over one vote. I would need a lot more popular demand to do that.
So here are the pairings so far:
Kyr x Serana (2 votes)
Getsuga x Weiss
Kuyou x Velvet
Pyrrha x Jaune
Nora x Ren
Blake x Sun
If you want to see Kyr with someone else, you need to outvote Serana by the time his character arc begins. Which will happen right after I get through the events of Forever Fall and Jaune's character arc.
If you want a pairing for Silver or anyone else, do so before the chapter before the dance. I have come up with a default pairing for Silver, but I want your opinions. Heck part of the reason why I'm even asking for pairing suggestions is because I like the idea of interacting with my readers.
Oh, before I forget, one pairing I will not do is Silver x RWBY. I will not say why yet, but when I reveal a certain plot point you will understand. If it's a very big deal to you, PM me, and I'll try to be as vague as I can be.
And one more thing, if you want Pyrrha to spared, please leave a review telling me so. I've already said I'm willing to spare Pyrrha if I get enough popular demand. I cannot stress this enough, IF I AM NOT TOLD THAT YOU ALL WANT PYRRHA TO LIVE I WILL KILL HER OFF AS SHE WAS IN CANON. IF SHE DIES IN THIS FIC DON'T COME CRYING TO ME. Sorry I just wanted make sure that was absolutely clear.
Anyway Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY or Skyrim, if I did own Skyrim Maven Black Briar would not be the Imperial Jarl of the Rift. At this point my disclaimers are just saying how I could make the Empire more likeable, because I actually do like the Empire.
Chapter 4: Meltdown
Weiss proceeded to walk to the practice Arena as the sun was setting where Getsuga was practicing on the punching bag.
"Hey Weiss what's up?" he asked grinning.
Weiss was not sure what to make of Getsuga.
Sure he claimed to owe her family a debt and Winter vouched for him, but she had no clue what that debt was.
And the paranoid, distrustful, slightly racist part of her mind couldn't help but think he had a hidden agenda.
After all, even if he was a half-breed he was still a Faunus, and she couldn't see a faunus being nice to her.
Sure Kuyou was slightly nice to her, but he was more of the actions speak louder than words kind of guy when it came to judging people.
Her name didn't mean a thing to someone like Kuyou "The Kitsune" Vulcan.
But Getsuga just seemed too nice.
"Kyr says you owe him 50 lien, mind telling me what that's all about?" Weiss asked.
"Oh that," said Getsuga grinning, "You see Kyr and I made a bet. He's supposed to be good at reading people, he claimed you were the type of people to judge people before getting to know them, and I claimed you were a compassionate person."
Weiss had too much of this niceness and just shouted, "That's it you are being way too nice. Just drop the act and tell me what your hidden agenda is! Are you with the White Fang?!"
Now that was the wrong thing to say.
The moment Weiss compared Getsuga to the White Fang images went through his head.
A shadowy figure,
Fire everywhere,
A glowing red blade
A grimm mask,
Insane laughter,
A younger Getsuga crying,
Next moment Getsuga had punched Weiss across the room and into the wall creating a crater.
His blue eyes had turned red.
"Oh I'm sorry," said Getsuga sounding slightly different, "But DO I LOOK LIKE AN INSANE TERRORIST WITH A GRIMM MASK!"
Getsuga was clearly pissed as he shouted "DON'T COMPARE ME TO THE WHITE FANG! THEY ARE A SICKNESS! A DISEASE! A PLAGUE ON REMNANT!"
After that Getsuga's eyes turned blue again and he saw the situation and said, "Oh no, I had another psychotic episode didn't I?"
Weiss climbed out of the wall and noticed the clear pain in Getsuga's eyes.
"A psychotic episode?" asked Weiss confused.
"I'm just calling it what it is," said Getsuga.
"I'm sorry Weiss this tends to happen when I get angry and I absolutely hate being compared to the White Fang. They are a bunch of liars, thieves, murders, and hypocrites. They say they are in it for the Faunus but they are only in it for themselves," Getsuga added.
Weiss decided to try to comfort Getsuga by putting a hand on his shoulder, "What happened to you?" she asked concerned.
Getsuga just point to the claw mark on his left eye, "You see this scar? It didn't come from any grimm."
Weiss couldn't believe what Getsuga was implying as if she couldn't hate the White Fang even more.
As Weiss decides to leave, she hears Getsuga say, "I guess what I'm trying to say is, The White Fang needs to burn" as his eyes glowed red at the last bit.
One thing Weiss was wondering. When Getsuga punched her she sensed know Aura or semblance being used.
Now normally one would think of course one of Getsuga's punches packed that much power as he has a modified right arm.
Except Getsuga used his left arm.
(The hallway of the Dorms)
Weiss decided to give Winter a call as she knew Getsuga better then she did.
"Oh Weiss," she said upon picking up.
"Winter I need to talk about Getsuga," she said, "I encountered one of his psychotic episodes."
Winter sighed, "Please tell me you didn't compare him to the White Fang," she said.
Weiss's silence was all the response she needed.
"Look Weiss, I'm sure you've noticed Getsuga's scar, what you don't know is that is not his only scar, just the only one he keeps visible."
Weiss looked shocked at that, what did the White Fang do to him?!
"I'd like to beg you that you not hold that psychotic episode against him. He cannot help that part of him. Now if he hasn't told you what kind of Faunus he's supposed to be, I won't either, just know that with the type of faunus he is, that personality is in his nature. And he desperately tries to hold it back."
Weiss nodded and hung up.
She decided to check on Ruby, and saw she fell asleep while trying to do homework.
And she had ordered a bunch of books about leadership.
(Team SVGD's room)
Getsuga walked into his room only to be approached by Kyr who had casted a silencing spell on their sleeping team mates.
"Did you have another episode?" asked Kyr.
Getsuga nodded.
How Kyr was able to find about his nature, he didn't know, but Kyr promised his mouth would stay shut until he was ready to speak. Just like how he was willing to keep silent about his "modified" right arm.
"Just remember that I'm here for you," said Kyr before his eyes started to glow icy blue like they did when he saved Ruby from the Deathstalker, "And remember you're not the only Beast here."
Chapter End
Omake: Deleted Scene 2: Yang and "The Broker"
Yang was traveling the streets of vale.
She was seeking someone called "The Broker."
He was called that cause he dealt in all kinds of wares and products, including information.
Junior was a dead end after all.
Luckily The Broker was easy to spot, as he wasn't human or faunus. He was part of a race that was rare in this era.
He was a Khajiit.
She found him sitting by a carpet with many different objects on it.
"Can S'baad help this one by interesting her in some wares," said the now named S'baad.
"I'm looking for information," said Yang holding up her scroll with a picture of her mother on it.
S'baad thought for a bit, "Hm, this might be a tough job, but S'baad accepts, but S'baad does not work for free."
Yang reached into her pocket but just realized how low she was on lien.
She was so close.
"This one does not need to fret, for she can pay S'baad with something other than money."
This caught Yang off guard.
"What are you suggesting," asked Yang.
"Simple," said S'baad, "a favor for a favor, information for information. S'baad'll look for information on this woman and this one will look for someone for S'baad."
"Just tell me what to look for," said Yang.
"S'baad is looking for someone called the Dragonborn. He would naturaly go by a different name, just look for relics from the era of Skyrim on him, use of the Thu'um, and bear logo."
"In the meantime, S'baad will keep is ear to the ground and search for this one's person."
Yang shook S'baad's hand… er… paw?
Wow that was fast. I didn't think I'd finish this in a day!
Also I wonder how many of you thought the chapter title was going to talk about Weiss.
Anyway, as for the multicrossover, I'm holding a contest. A make your own Dragonborn contest. I'd like you to suggest a Dragonborn of your making to me. Send me a pm with the details.
I need:
Name:
Gender:
Race:
Personality:
Allegiances (includes what guilds they are part of and who they sided with in the civil war):
Fighting style (warrior, rogue, mage, or combo):
Skill level (from rookie to maximum potential):
I will use multiple dragonborns as this will be a multiverse, I will use between 3-9.
If I use your Dragonborn I will credit you.
Anyway we now have hints of Getsuga's backstory, and that omake, another deleted scene. Like the Jagged Crown, it was a scene I wanted to include but couldn't find a good place to put it.
Anyway, I wanted to say something but it seems to be escaping me.
Well if you have any questions, comments, concerns, suggestions, constructive criticism, or you just want to say hi, please leave a review.
Also remember to vote for the pairings.
