Holy hell it's been a while my bad just with a new job school life this kind of fell behind but raising from the dead here I go again.
Just as things were going well another surprise had a shown it self as the girls where welcome by Professor Goodwitch.
"Professor Goodwitch?" Ruby question surprised by their teacher being here.
"We had gotten word of your emergency signal before it was lost, and we order to receive any news about you all, we're glad you're all safe" Goodwitch eye's lock on the Chosen Undead
"But I'm going need answers on what's going on" her tone sounding more of a demand then a request.
Ruby began rubbing the back of here head nervously "That's a long story" Ruby began lightly chuckling but stop by the annoyed look of Goodwitch.
"Miss Rose am going to need more than that" her tone make Ruby flinch away thank god Weiss came to the rescue.
"What she was try to say Professor was that it might be better to talk in a more private area" Weiss tried to push on "And it might make it easier for are ... friend" she continued while glancing at the knight, he might be strange but he's been helpful so far.
To much as a surprise to the Undead so was Team RWBY by this approach by Weiss .
Goodwitch took the young Schnee words to thought it would be better and easier to get answer in a enclose private area "Very well if you can get him to follow me".
All had turn to the Chosen Undead who had been Quietly watch things unfold as it was he's way to observer then react, well now thinking about it, it might have gotten him in trouble more than help but what can you do... wait why is the Yello... no Yang waving her hand in front of him.
"Hellooooo Big Guy you in there" Yang question when they ask him if he was ready to go he just stood there not doing anything, but the his helmet started to move.
"Yes Lady Yang my apology it seemed my mind wander again , and to answer you yes I will go with you all it might be my only way to find where am I". the warrior continued he really didn't have a clue of what to do now so sticking with them for now was wise, and it wasn't like he couldn't fight his way out if needed.
...Hopefully it wasn't needed.
But Yang just smiled "It's cool Big Guy just making sure you didn't hit you're head to hard in that fight" that got a small chuckle out of the old warrior, she like the guy so far he was going make things fun.
But a cough from Goodwitch brought there attention "Good we are going to get on transport travel in silence to a close by Beacon building where we can talk this all out understood" Goodwitch commanded.
Everyone just nodded and follow her to said transport which was another ship.
"Great" thought the Undead "More flying"
-**Scene Change**
True to her word the trip to wherever they were going was silent with team RWBY sitting on one side the plane with Goodwitch staring down the Chosen Undead sitting but himself with he's head lowered not even look back to girls.
Gilda on the other hand wasn't taking her eyes off of there "guest" just because team RWBY vouch for him didn't mean he was to be trusted, but she did wonder where he came for she could tell by he's armor it's been through some real wear and tear.
Being a Huntress for as long she had a good eye for detail, and his armor look like it's been broken a thousand times than put together with scratches and small dents in some places, and the metal it wasn't anything she recognized before it look way to old so where could the girls had found him.
Chosen Undead chose to withdraw to his mind to put the puzzle of the new situation together, he's got no clues no guide of any kind what does this new world hold.
First
He was suddenly awaken in the room of the first flame which was already a problem since the flame should of destroy him, so what pulled him back and why did it take so long.
Second, nothing was the same.
The first flame was gone so should the world be dark.
There was a strange monster in the abyss he barely escape with his life, he still didn't know what that was or how the power flame came from.
Third these lands
Everything having to do with these lands seemed just wrong and he's seen some unbelievable things in his time.
There were no undead from at least he could see.
They all had strange weapons and ...things such as the thing they were flying in.
Last of all there knowledge some of what they said just didn't match up, the monster known as grim appeared
at the beganing of man but he's never or heard anything like them so something or someone told wrong.
By Nito dying breath this so Damn confusing.
He had no clue of what to do now he never did so much thinking on one sitting.
...
Now he had a headache he didn't know he could get those.
The Chosen Undead rested his hand on his helm thinking maybe playing it as it goes was the best chose.
"Where here" Goodwitch said drawn everyone attention.
"You three (pointing at Yang Weiss and Blake) will be escorted to a different waiting room while I speak with and are Guest separately understand"
"Yes Professor Goodwitch" they called out in union.
"Good now" looking towards Ruby
"You two follow me"
{Scene Change}
When Ruby and her friends got a mission this is not how she saw it going to end.
Ruby found herself in a black dark room similar to one she been in before when Proffeser Ozpin had asked her to enroll into Beacon.
But now she was in the company a real life knight in not so shiny armor,who her and her team found after he appeared from fire.
...
Yea didn't think this how the day was going to go.
But she stands by her choice it was the right thing to done bring him along or else he been surrounded by Grim plus he's been nice and helpful, hopefully Goodwitch could sees that.
Ruby had pulled from her thoughts as Goodwitch entered the room.
"Alright you let began with introduction I'm Glynda Goodwitch staff member of Beacon academy".
Which got a reaction undead "What's Beacon?".
"You don't know what Beacon is?" the teacher questioned "There are many things I do not know of in these strange lands" Was the quick response from the Undead.
"Well for your information Beacon is a training school teaching and guiding young minds to there best to be Hunters and Huntress.
"Train school?" the age warrior questioned again
"I think I answered enough question as you have yet to introduce yourself "
Goodwitch pressed on.
"Well that is true it is unfortunate that I don't have memoirs of my name or birth place or even how old I am any more" which he had no clue to how old he could be by now couple decades, centuries made even a thousands year old.
"Do you expect me to believe that" Goodwitch press on "Because that is very convenient".
Ok that one annoyed him "You think I speak lies Witch!" The now annoyed warrior insulated that she thinks he lies.
"It's Goodwitch and it has to be a lie how else can you avoid the question" Goodwitch counter back both hands now slammed on the table glaring at the knight.
Ruby could only sit by as potential argument was about to kick off she had need a way to steer this away.
"Umm Proffeser Goodwitch" Ruby flinch as both as Proffeser and Undead turned towards her "I think he's telling the truth me and Blake had a conversation with him ask the same question he really having a hard time remembering.
Goodwitch attention now on the Huntress in trading "Well then Miss Rose than please tell what happen on your misson".
"Well it went like this" Than Ruby started to explain some of the events that had unfolded "Then there a loud ROAR coming the pit" Ruby explained hands moving about has she told the story "And that's when the Grim showed up so we-"
"Wait" Goodwitch interrupted " This sound you say called to the Grim!".
"Ummm yea I guess and that's when we had to evacuate but we had to hold the Grim off".
"I see will please continue" she was going to have to tell Opzin about that one.
Ruby continued her story of her team battle,and the Non-Stop Grim.
"Then came the strange part was when a coiled sword part of the ruin set it self on fire.
"Wait the BonFire!".
Both Ruby and Goodwitch turn to the undead.
"You know what she talking about?" Goodwitch question.
"Well he did appear from it from" the hooded girl answered
The undead nodded his head "I know of the but it's best we let Lady Ruby finish her side of the story I'll tell mine" they'll be here all day if they keep cutting each other off.
Goodwitch couldn't help agreeing with "Very well go ahead Miss Rose we won't interrupt tell your done".
And with that Ruby finish her story, the Nevermores, meeting the undead, how her team almost knock out there employer, and final how it was the mysterious warrior who kill all the Nevermores following them.
To say Goodwitch was surprise to say the least as first year where able adopted to such a changing mission, and that there 'Guest' was help to her students.
But it was unsettling how he was able to take 4 Nevermores so easy, and he's sudden aperence.
"So I think it's time for you to tell us who you are and what's your story"Goodwitch said towards the warrior.
The Chosen Undead took moment to think of how he was going tell story for they didn't need to know all if the detail of what he's done.
"Yes is only fair".
Then began his story but told a little differently of how he was a traveled knight from a very dangerous land of monster and man alike of how he's had many, many, many, MANY battles,challenges and hardships.
They ask why go though why put himself in that kind danger, and honestly he couldn't answer after he's long travels there was just force that called him to keep going!.
He never let go of that feeling to see it to the end no matter pain or anger it caused him he keep going, because he thought if he ever let go of that feel.
...
He'll go hollow just like everyone else around him those who each had there goal only for it to pull them into madness and death.
He seen the end of most of them.
... Him being the end to most of them.
But they didn't need to know anything about that, so he change it a bit to tell them, that had thought he had finally died and for it to be the end.
They didn't take it as well as I thought
they would as both had as by the look of shock on there face but Ruby was first one to talk.
"YOU DIED" she didn't need to yell but guess saying you died isn t normal.
"Yes yes I did" the Chosen answered "But there nothing to worry about living the life (undead life) I did it was only a matter of time, because death comes to all in the end".
"But to say something like to so little you must be mad" Goodwitch cut in.
Well she wasn't wrong he did know how much of his sanity he had left after the great journey.
"I'm no mad man witch" Undead replayed with a little venom "I've seen true madness".
"I said it's Goodwitch" repeated again.
"Whatever" the Undead giving a lazy response "Now will you let me finish my tale or are going to be rude.
Goodwitch felt like her teeth wanted to grind "Yes finish please".
"Thank you now where was?" The undead thought over.
"Oh yes that's right me dying, after that I was pretty sure that I was done in till well just waking up in a ruin area not to long ago". He still didn't know how he was here right now the first flame should had burn his soul but question for later.
"So how did you end up at that Bonfire in FireLink Shrine?" the hooded girl question foucus on finally having her answer
"Well that's simple I traveled through another BoneFire" the man simply answer.
"You traveled through ... another Bonfire" Goodwitch repeated in disbelief
"Yup"
"I can't believe if your serious or just crazy at this point" Goodwitch sighed"Care to elaborate on what you mean".
"Well" the knight started "Some Bonfire are link you see and traveling between them is quite possible through sorcery that I can not understand fully".
"I see" Goodwitch accepted she didn't what a even bigger headache "This is went you met the girls" a nod was all she receive.
"Ok have One more question for what are your plans now?"Goodwitch question.
"I haven't have the foggiest idea I'm in a place unknown to me surrounded by strange technology unknown with no clue what must do next and no allies to call upon". It had been a long time since the Chosen Undead had been so lost and without direction.
That had caught Goodwitch off guard it seem like he truly no plan, it was probably best if she contacts Ozpin so he could speak to the guest but Miss, Rose had chosen to speak up before her.
"Hey we can help you" Ruby cut in to the Undead.
"How"?
"Well you can come to Beacon there's all kinds of helpful things there" Ruby said
"Really"? The knight question
"Yes Miss Rose is correct it be in your best case to come with us to Beacon, there we can inform you to all you need to know and you can help us with what we don't understand with this development" Goodwitch explained
Well it was a start, and maybe he could find out why he's been bought back here in this world.
The Chosen Undead turn he's to Ruby where she had a small smile and a hopefully look in her eye's.
Maybe he could make some allies as well.
"Very well then I accept your offer" the Undead really hope this was for the best.
"Excellent I'll set up all the arrangement and well be on are way the rest of your team will be set in here for you to update them Miss, Rose is that understood". The witch explained.
"Yes Proffeser Goodwitch" Ruby quickly answered.
"Good" and with that she step out.
(Scene Change)
A little later the rest of team step into the room with Yang first to speak.
"So sis how it go? Goodwitch didn't go to hard did she" Yang did always had a bit of a protective side when it came to her sister.
"Actually" Ruby started "It was a rough start but I think everything turn out ok.
"Because he's coming back to Beacon with us! Ruby excitedly said.
All of girls had shock looks on there faces hearing this news.
Suddenly a huge grin appered on Yangs face as she walk over and wrap her arm over the now confused Warrior.
"Well big guy looks like your coming with us, and your friend Yang is going show you the town" Yang proclaimed.
"Yang no" Weiss sighed
"Yang yes" Yang exclaimed
The Chosen Undead chuckled at the antics maybe this wasn't a bad idea.
"I do have one question" Blake spoke up getting the Undead attention "What do we call? You if your coming with us we have to call you something.
'She has a point' thought the Undead if he was going to interact with them he had to called but what?
The age warrior took a moment to think about his life (undead life)and reflected about how he traveled wander place to place look for loot and secrets.
When he thought about it that was what he was a warrior, knight, and a Wanderer.
Huh... Wanderer.
"Wander" the Undead say aloud.
"What was that big guy?" Yang question arm still around the warrior neck.
"Just call me Wander for now" he stated again
"Hmmm Wander huh I like it" Yang replied
"Yea sounds mysterious" Ruby put in while waving her hands in motion.
'Good' the Undead thought to himself this was a new start so maybe a new name should go with it.
"That's good and all but I have one more thing to ask about". Weiss express
"And what's that Weiss?" Blake question
"Well since we meet you (points towards the warrior) we have yet to know what you look like, and I have to say if your going to be around us I at least want to know".
Huh? Was the collected thoughts of the rest of team RWBY he had he's helmet on the whole time they meet, and it was pretty hard to tell how old he was with him talk thru the helmet.
"Well I suppose there no real problem with that" in all honesty he's kind of forget how he look, he didn't take his helmet very often anymore after a arrow went into the back of he's head.
...Fucking monster ambushes it was every single time it annoyed him to the limit of how many ambushes his run into, he didn't understand how they were smart enough to set it up.
So after that he rarely took it off but I guess there not use to talking to a faceless men as he had grown us to.
"Very well" as he said that his hands had when to the side of his helm I mean there be no wproblem.
Unless he was hollowed right now and is about to scary the shit out of them.
...
He'll take the gamble.
(Scene Change)
Unknown Location
All around there nothing but darkness, that it seemed not even the strongest of lights could pierce the echo of a voice calls from the darkness it's self as if a whisper on the wind.
"It has returned"
