The Hero of Life: RWBY

by Justaaverageman

A Boy turned Savior is sent to Another World to Save His Own and on Every Step of his Adventure a new problem appears. He will do Whatever it Takes, even When He has to Bring Out a Part of Him that Every Human tries to Delete From Themselves. Some say Talent Beats Hardwork and Others say Hardwork Beats Talent. Who's to say that Both Aren't the Same.

13. No Longer Weak

Some would say flying through the air in a metal box was anxiety filling, but I couldn't agree it was quite soothing. As I sat straight just how my instructor taught me, my High Tech scroll rang. I brought the scroll to my face and the face identification let me in. The caller was General Ironwood. Finally he'll give me the details of my mission. I press the green button and my superior's face pops up.

"Winter your mission is to have these Schematics be retrieved by Eorlund Gray-Mane." He said with his normal monotone voice. As he was talking, multiple blueprints of very specific parts of a machine popped up on the screen.

"Yes sir, anything else?" I say with perfect professionalism. Always best to get all the information before a mission is normally the deciding factor to success and I always succeed.

"Yes, he might not be willing to cooperate so you might need to "convince" him to help." He said full broadcasting what he meant, another barbaric mission that normal troops could accomplish.

Annoyed and uncomfortable I say. "...I see sir. It will be done." He nods his head. "Sir have a good d…." I was cut off before finishing. One day I hope he will give me the time of day. I looked at the schematic to just quench my boredom. It seemed like it was a part of a machine I've heard talk about. While they might be rumors it is always good to keep an open ear. The rumor says that Ironwood is funding a project to better keep Atlas safe if a Code 5 ever happens, which wouldn't ever happen. Atlas is always evolving to become better in every way.

For The Record

So it's been a good week since I wrote in this. Ok so important shit. I fought two kidnappers that came from Konoha and were heading back to their base. Good news, both of them are dead now and I brought the children back home. Once I found out even more kids were kidnapped I went after banditville that had all of the kids. Under the shadow of night I snuck in and planted a few Explosives for a contingency if I was caught. I released the prisoners and helped them escape. The second all of them were free the bandit chief caught me.

This bitch was crazy. It turns out she's been following me since day one and she planned on me coming to her home to save the kids. Well she was right. I came, but I set off the explosives. After that me and her fought, she kicked my ass pretty bad, but I fought long enough for Qrow to come save my ass. As I fought more I learned a couple of things about Aura that I need to train so other people can't exploit it on me. Then after a couple of grunts The Second in Command came at me. We were about equal, but my Aura was low and my Dust ran out so I got fucked up. A new big scar on my right shoulder, I still hope chicks dig scar because I feel more are coming on the way. The Villagers came and saved my ass and they took me to their Village and let me heal. There I met Minato, Kushina, Naruto, and Sasuke cool right, I warned Minato the Village Mayor to prepare for war. I'm going to need his help against the Witch after all this isn't just my War it's this whole world's.

Also Qrow the Huntsman that saved me is Ozpin's puppet so you know I have to keep an eye on him. He's gonna be traveling with me for now on until I find out what to do after I forge the Sword.

Fast forward a couple of days. Me and Ozpin had an argument and I'm pretty sure he's not happy and if daddy Ozpin ain't happy Qrow ain't happy, so I'm pretty sure no training. The reason for the argument was because they are keeping the world in the dark about the Witch, which I totally disagree with.

So future plans I'm heading to Whiterun, yeah Whiterun I'm going to fucking Skyrim. I fucking love that game too bad the main character probably won't be there. Also I need to find a smith or a person to make said Sword because I ain't a good Smith, I probably know who to go to, that old fuck, you know who I'm talking about. And yeah sure I made a Sword back in my world, but it was shit nothing like my Awesome Longsword that was made at Kakariko.

Me and Paarthurnax talked and it seems my world is making itself into a world where the military is governing, damn do I wish I could go over there to tell them to stop, but I can't. Also the main problem is the Gods. There is no weapon or power to hurt them, just our Will to survive the Will to not surrender. That is our weapon. I don't know how, but I'll figure it out.

I'm almost there just another 300 miles then I'm finished with the first step. If you're reading this you need to know I'm not some robot…...I have emotions and let me tell you I'm tired of traveling, fighting, and just the wilderness…...I'm just tired. Those fucking anime show that make traveling look so easy I hate them. You have no idea the amount of Grimm I attract because of my emotions. So far the Grimm haven't been that hard, sure I had a few encounters that could have gone better, but nothing really unstoppable has come at me. I have a theory. I believe that the less Grimm near the Kingdoms, but the ones there are older and ready to attack when a weakness is shown and in the meat of the world is a lot more Grimm, but their just younger ones that don't know where they should go, but when they turn old enough they head for the borders of the Kingdoms to wait. That's why so many Grimm are so weak and young here, well that's my educated guess.

So I've been reading up on Vale with the new book I bought. So Mount Glenn was abandoned because of a massive Grimm invasion. The whole place was destroyed just ruins now, but there's an underground subway that was supposed to evacuate to Vale, but it wasn't working so all of those refugees were cornered and the Grimm slaughtered them, that's some sad shit.

Also the laws of Grimm are pretty serious two years in prison for doing it, fucking stupid.

5 years after the "Great War" did the law come into place. I'm still iffy about history books because most of them say the King of Vale won the War with the weather and nature on his side. It just seems too one sided like it was planned by God or the King was just an amazing tactician.

Reading through the whole book I got to the myth part, I don't know why a history book had it, but whatever. One of the myths tickled me funny. The story goes as.

A man out in the mountains of Vale way before the Vale was ever a kingdom witnessed a battle of the ages Two Titanic Godlike creatures fought one with Redish Black flame the other with Whitish Blue lighting. They both fought for hours trying to damage the other one. Each of their attacks made the land quake, each projectile fired made an explosion that could destroy Vale by itself. Once all was said and done. the Titan that used the blueish white lighting fell unconscious and fell to the valley below. The one that used the Redish black flame stared down to the other Titan then left. The man traveled down the valley to see the Titan close up. Once he got down to it he got a closer look. The beast woke up and greeted the man kindly. They talked about why the beast fought and all the titan said was "For the Throne." The Titan had wounds and with compassion the man helped the beast heal with mystical herbs that he found growing around the beast, the healing process took days. One day the man left the Titan to find more herbs to finally finish the healing process. As he got back to the beast he knew was gone, the light blue skin it had was gone instead blackness filled the space and his eyes were no longer blue they were crimson red. The Titan turned into a Grimm and chased the man, but he escaped barley. That was the only sighting of said creature.

I thought this was a cool story, but it did have a messed up ending. The Titan becoming a Grimm, don't know if that's a metaphor or actually real. Mysteries, god I hate mysteries. Time to get back to the real world.

Day 68 of 720 Before Earth's Death

"So are you going to train me or are you gonna ignore me?" I say annoyed. Yup I knew it since two days ago when I talked to Ozpin he's been pissed and there's been no training.

"..." He didn't speak.

"Me and Ozpin have different philosophies. I get it, but that doesn't mean I still don't need training. Are you even listening?" I say getting angrier. I need his training to get stronger and I'm not going to stop until I have it.

"For fuck sakes kid I ignored you fine the first time and yeah your a bigshot you don't need training." This fucker said. I really just want to fight him so he has to train me.

"Fine." I say letting him cool off so I can hit him with the same question later. I'm not giving up that quickly.

On our travels we got to Rocky Mountain tops and right now we kept walking on an inclined hill. As we were walking my foot slips into a hole. I pulled it out and kept walking, feeling a bit annoyed. After five minutes my foot slipped into a hole, but it went up to my knee, seriously what the fuck. I pulled myself out again and started looking carefully at the ground making sure I didn't fall into another hole. After 15 minutes my leg slipped into a massive hole that made my whole leg go in. Fucking hell this is annoying It's like my bad luck got worst. I pick myself up again, but my leg gets grabbed and I start getting pulled down.

Quickly I grab the floor and start to go against the force. As I pulled I heard a shriek that lasted 4 seconds. The second it ended the ground I was on started to crumble. I fell into a cloud of Dust and I fell on the ground with a thud.

I did a Radar Pulse and it seemed that the ground underneath me and Qrow caved in making an area that's a good 70 foot diameter and the scariest part is that there was a Grimm in the middle. With detail I knew what it was, it was a Fucking Centipede. It was massive at least 100 feet long and It's width was a good 10 feet, not only that each of Its legs were razor sharp and It's mouth was a circle with an endless amount of teeth inside above Its eyes it's mandibles with It's red eyes. All I knew was this was a boss battle.

I could go straight to True Aura mode and my Semblance, but that's too easy. I need to get better and I can't always rely on those techniques so I'll just take it on fully vanilla.

"He's mine." I stepped up to fight it.

"Sure just don't die." he says with a concerned face before jumping out of the hole to spectate. I didn't know he thought this Grimm appeared because of him

As if the word go was said the Centipede came at me head first. I ran at it while drawing my Longsword and when it was a foot in front of me I jumped over it and landed on It's back. I would Aura strike it, but this was just my combat skills, no techniques. I saw that it's bone armor isn't actually connected, but was just separate plates. Bingo found my target. I stabbed inbetween it armor and the blade sunk into Its body as it expelled it's black goo. As I pulled my blade out, some things that were pure translucent stuck onto my blade and started to climb to my arm. I tried to smack them off, but they just stuck onto the hand when they came into contact. I jumped off the Grimm to see the larva things.

They just stayed there. Dammit the Centipede. While I was distracted by the larva the Centipede was circling me and was doing laps around me building a wall with It's own body, ok change of plan if this gets out of hand I'm using Dust. Quickly I jumped on the Grimm, jumping to get out. As I was about to escape the snake maneuver I was caught. My upper body was free, but my lower body was being crushed by it. As I'm stuck it started to stab me with It's razor sharp legs, fucking how. Fuck ok using it. With all of my strength I push my hand into my left pocket and grab my compactor and set it on 6 and with all my strength back up to my mouth and swallow the Dust.

A cold feeling entered my body and I grabbed the sides of the Centipede and started to freeze it, what you think Dust can only be used on my Semblance it works with physical contact too. With a screech it lets me go and I escape. As I got back my Aura flared up. What the fuck I look down at the larva and I see they started to become solid like a cocconed butterflies, are they feeding on my Aura. I grabbed one of the eight and crush it. I did it to five other ones, but before I could get to the last two they hatched and two Grimm came out. The jumped off of me and grew wings and started flying. What the fuck. As they flew they looked at me and started shooting looges from their mouths. I side step them and I look at what they did. They were corrosive.

I pulled out my Revolver and shot the two down with just two bullets. I looked back at the Centipede and it was a foot away with one of It's legs coming to stab me. I quickly used Aura palm and stopped it's attack. Then I grabbed its leg to not let it move. I started to cover it in ice slowly, It's body started to freeze over. As it was getting to the quarter point it just detached It's body from the ice cover part of its body, you've got to be kidding me it can do that. It backed up and started circling again, same trick. That's a no no.

I summoned the Dust into my Aura strike and I cut the wall centipede. As the wound opened up an army of larva came at me quickly and I froze them. Injured the centipede detached once again and all was left was 10 feet of Its body. Quickly I put pressure on it. I attacked the Centipede. Instead of being belly down it got on half of It's legs, the top half stood up like it was a center. It slowly reconfigured It's sharp legs combining to create two massive clubs that were at arms, seriously this is just getting annoying. As I get close to it, it swings both if It's clubs down on me, but I dodge at the last second. It's clubs were both stuck and I took the opportunity. I jumped onto It's head and stabbed it. It didn't go in so I started freezing it, mostly It's eyes to blind it.

With stupidity it attacked me, I jumped off the Grimm and it striked itself with full force making a small crack, all I gotta do is destroy the mask and that would kill the Grimm. Quickly while it was dazed from It's own hit I poured Aura into my legs and launched myself straight for the crack. Longsword first I met the crack. It went in a bit, but it wasn't enough. With an idea I focused my Aura to move the Ice Dust to the tip of my Sword that was inside the Grimm mask and with obvious skill it did so. With it in place I activate the Dust making the small Dust particle at the tip of my blade expand because of physics it makes the mask break itself from expansion.

The beast falls over just squirming and freaking out. Then a second later it shrieked and then faded because of Its death. It turned to black Dust before my eyes and I looked at Qrow.

"That would have been easier if I had some training." I said still pressuring him on the subject.

"You need clothes more than training." He said pointing at my clothes.

"Wha…...what the fuck, my clothes!" I say while looking at the shreds of fabric I had. My right pant leg was destroyed up to the knee and the left was almost completely gone. All that's left was to the middle of the thigh. My Shirt was destroyed, only the left side of my chest was covered and the rest was gone.

"Idiot, the Ceptile's blood was corrosive you didn't notice it because of your Aura." He said nonchalantly. Mother fuck I liked those clothes.

"Great, Whiterun is still a couple of days away." I say annoyed. Dammit fucking things called Ceptile.

Qrow looked at me and saw the two big scars that showed my struggles of this journey, both wounds looked almost lethal and I've only been on Remnant for two months. He hung his head down in thought and after a couple of seconds he said. "Listen kid, I'll train you, but I want one thing. Tell me you'll save us, you'll defeat Salem once and for all, you'll fight to make this world a better place." He said with complete seriousness.

I look at Qrow and chuckle a bit. "Huh I've been fighting for that since day one. Listen I'm sorry I'm an annoyance in your eyes, but what I'm doing is the safest and most cases the dangerous route, but in the end I will beat her." I said with full conviction.

"Good, I know I'm a dick to you, but you made mine and Ozpin's job a lot harder so you know it's your fault." Wow what a dick move.

"So time to train." I said, getting excited.

Day 71 of 720 Before Earth's Death

Over the last 3 day Qrow has been training me hard, we stopped traveling and stayed in an opening where there weren't any trees to get in the way. So my clothes problem I fixed by tearing up my black flannel and strapping the raggs of it to my right side which was bare. I look like a hobo, but it's only temporary. Now that I think of it I should pay attention to my fig…...

As I block a strike of his Sword I get kicked in the face and as I'm launched he grabs my leftover clothes and pulls me back to his open arm clotheslining me, Fucking ow. I get dropped to the floor with a thud and I slowly get up and see Qrow with a smug look.

"Come on you're hardly a challenge, use your Semblance, or your Dust, or that one move that makes you stronger." He said with a bored look. Qrow is way better than I thought. He knows every attack I do and he tells me how to improve so I'm not so predictable.

"No, I need to grow my skill in battle." I am convinced that's where I go wrong in my fights. My Semblance is my main weapon and my True Aura makes it so my main weapon actually works against stronger people, but my skill is nowhere near Huntsman.

"Yeah you definitely do." He said. Hey at least I know I'm right on some things.

"So what's your assessment?" I ask for a professional's opinion, really if you ask a professional you could get the best information to help you get better.

"Let's see, you're good if you use everything, actually being serious your great. you put Raven in a pickle back at the Village only a few people could have done that, but that's when you're relying on three different factors: your Semblance, True Aura, and Dust. Your creative with your Semblance and your True Aura closes the gap in speed and power and Dust manipulation makes a good balance, but your skill in Swordplay and aiming, right it's shit you normally use your Semblance to carry you through the fight which is a crutch and your True Aura move is a crutch too if you rely in it you'll die from a enemy that's faster than you and Dust, you use it like your life depend on it. I'll say it's useful, but you rely on that too much. what happens when you can't get to your Dust. It's good you're going for only Swordplay, but you need to learn to adapt quicker." He said going over most of the things. So my Swordsmanship and my marksmanship need practice and me adapting to a fight. Good, those are my goals, time to improve them.

"Yeah come on ten more rounds before we sleep." I said happy to have a reachable goal.

"Kid, we've been at this since the morning. I think this is enough." He said, a little surprised I still want to go.

"No, I need strength or I'll lose someday, I need every inch of strength and your my path to reach for more." I said charging him for another round of one sided fight.

"Great another round." He said smiling a bit at my determination and annoyed he has to deal with me.

For the next ten rounds of mock fights every round Andres did something better than the last. Slowly he was becoming a force to be reckoned with.

"Adam, Sir." A big man with massive shoulders with a tattoo on his left arm and in a White Fang getup said looking at his superior. His superior turned around and looked at his subordinate.

"You're here finally." Adam said in a serious tone.

"What is your command, Sir?" The big man said ready to do Adam's bidding out of respect or some other unknown reason.

Adam pulled out a map and laid it on a table nearby and said. "Soon we'll be raiding a SDC mining facility, you'll be the commanding officer. The mission is to kill all the faculty members and release the enslaved. You'll have to do this alone. I'm needed elsewhere." He said point at where the mining facility that was next to a mountain.

"Sir, what about the Faunus staff?" Adam's right hand man said knowing what his friend would say.

"They will die too." Said without hesitation.

"Shouldn't we hear them out before killing our own people?" The Lieutenant said hoping Adam would stop going down the path of death

"We won't forgive any Faunus that turns their back on their enslaved brother and sister to get better treatment." Adam said in disgust.

"….Yes, Sir." The Lieutenant said complying with Adam's commands.

"Now go Daichi, your Bullhead and forces are waiting for you." Adam saw his friend's body language and said "Listen friend, while I do force my ideology onto you. I do it so our kind won't have to keep fighting for our place on Remnant, stay safe friend." Yes this was for the long term goal not the short term. I need to do what is necessary.

"Goodbye Adam." He said walking out of the camp to the landing zone for the dozen of Bullheads that were going to be used in the raid.

Day 72 of 720 Before Earths Death

After the three days of training me and Qrow started our travel again with me going along my normal routine of me slaughtering every Grimm.

Yesterday we finally got out of the rocky mountain and got back to a forest. The really cool part was that on the Rocky moutain I saw Mount Hellios the fucking thing was massive. It was a full on volcano with the top open with a light smoke coming out of it, I'm so close I can't wait. The whole day of traveling and sometimes spontaneous training from Qrow so I stay on my toes.

"So what was your world like?" He said bored of the days of traveling.

I look at him and there really isn't any point not to tell him. "My world, Earth's is nothing like Remnant. We don't have Dust or Aura, or Grimm were just normal humans on a planet with nothing, but ourselves and hundreds of animals. Even though we don't have Grimm we still go to war, but it's been a good 60 year since the last world War and it has been peaceful since then, well mostly for my country." I say remembering my world's history. What I fell asleep in class most of the time, the teacher was cool with it, I'm also pretty sure he was the one who tried to fight off the Dragon back on my planet, may that idiot rest in peace.

"No Grimm, that sounds like a perfect place to raise some kids." He said with a grin that I've never seen on his face, I mean I've seen him grin, but this one was one filled with hope. Weird what he just said.

"Not perfect, but pretty good." I said agreeing. If I had a kid I would never want him or her on Remnant. It's way too dangerous.

"How was your childhood? You were probably fed with a silver spoon." He said, assuming, wondering why he thinks I'm spoiled, time to change that because it really isn't true.

"No, actually my family was dirt poor when they came to the place we lived now. They worked their whole lives and when they had me they worked harder for all of my siblings. Over time we slowly got money. Since I was like 6 I started working with my dad. He worked in construction, but he became an entrepreneur and started buying houses to fix them up and renting them out. Everything he did I was there to see. I learned so much from him, and when I turned 10 he started to really put me to work. Everyday after school we'd go down to someone's lawn to mow it or fix a house. It was tiring, but satisfying to know I fixed what so many can't. My dad with some of my help got enough money to buy our house and ever since then I lived pretty good. The road to get there was hard, but worth it." I said pretty much my childhood, sure I had days of me doing nothing at home, but that was like a fraction of the time. I'm not a child that was abandoned, beaten, or broken when he was little or the spoiled brat Qrow assumed I was. I helped work for what I got. I didn't wait for someone else to give me my future. No, I created my own.

"That good kid everybody needs to have a good relationship with their dad." He said with a smile. A good relationship with dad, yeah right.

"That's the thing I hate my dad." I said with anger seeping out of my words.

"Why?" He said, confused. Yeah he was my role model in life. He taught me to work, to solve problems instead of getting angry. Really the man I am today was because of him, but my dad made a fatal mistake.

With a deep breath I said. "...He cheated on my mom. And just so you know that's one of my main rules of life I live by, to never cheat on the woman you love and he broke it. Enough about my sad ass life, what about your family." I said wanting to get off the topic of my dad. My rules of life or some would call my moral compass is simple, but easy to follow. Some might say cheating isn't that bad, but to me it means the world and I can't forgive a horny dog even if he's my father.

He nodded to my little speech and said, "Well we're about to go from sad to downright depressing. I was born into the Branwen tribe. Life was shit, I was treated like a slave and when I became of age they taught me to kill. I got good, real good, but I hated it. I hated myself. We raided Villages, caravans, and farms to keep us alive and the other bandit taught me to kill for fun to keep the Grimm away. Then one day the chief told me and my sister to go to Beacon to learn to be stronger so we could learn to kill Huntsmen because they were our main problem. We went to the Beacon and learned everything we could about fighting and when the chief called us back Raven and I disobeyed. We abandoned them and became Huntsmen after a while my Team became my family, Team STRQ we were the best of the best. After a while Ozpin took me to the side and told me of Salem and I joined his cause, so did my sister until she abandoned us and left to go back to the tribe and it seems she took over. When I was at Beacon he taught me so much and gave me a new purpose in life, he gave me a New reason to live." He said. Holy shit was his life way worse than mine. I wasn't forced to do other bidding. I know since I was little I was lucky to be born so fortunate, but now I really understand how lucky I was. Also a new purpose: what was his last one?

"Damn you make me seem like a bitch." I said, trying to release the tension with a joke.

"Because you are." He said coolly

"Nah, do you have kids?" I asked because he was in his 30s or 40s and I thought he might have kids.

He paused before saying "...No"

"How about a girlfriend?" I said I was just curious about his life.

"Used to, but not anymore." He said in a somber tone like he was talking as if they're dea…..Ohhhh that's why.

"Are you serious you don't have any other family that isn't Raven?" I said kinda praying for this sad sack of shit.

"I got my nieces, they're the ones I fight for, to give them a life where they don't have to die like every other Huntsman." Yeah this life of a Huntsman is harsh. I would never let my children become Huntsmen if I could help it.

"What's their name?" I ask curious because his outfit kinda reminded me of someone, mostly the crooked cross.

"Ruby Rose and Yang Xiao Long." The second he said Ruby he had my full attention. Not the obsessive kind of attention, she helped when I was at my lowest point. I owe her a lot beside, she was kinda cute, obviously I'm not going to say that to him or he'll beat me into the ground.

"Ruby Rose, you're her Uncle." I said surprised, but the more I looked at him I saw the similarity. The face structure and the cross.

"Yeah, how do you know her?" He said accusingly like I did something bad.

"She helped me escape from the Beacon." I said not really afraid of him.

The second I said that he relaxed and said. "Oh yeah she did. Heh, the first time I ever heard her doing something bad." Seriously so she's a good two shoes, not really judging because I used to be one, but did not expect that.

I say with full confidence. "She's a good person, I can tell." The only reason she let me go was because I said I wanted to save my people and she believed me stupid, but It's what a person with a good heart would do.

"She is, I fight for her and her sister." He said it like a mantra. She has a sister who wonders what she's like?

"What a selfless man you are." I say sarcastically.

The air around us turned from jokey to serious the second a frown fell onto Qrow's face. "We also got to talk about something important." He said with dead seriousness.

"What and it better not be something about my personality because I ain't changing." I said still in a joking mood.

He looks at me annoyed and says. "No, I mean you're killing spree. You've killed at least 43 and at most 52. You need to stop before someone with authority wants your head." Ohhh yeah that. I could justify killing them all I want to myself, but the world will still frown upon that.

After an awkward silence I say. "Qrow I know I need to stop it, I just need to get to my goal even if I need to kill." I said pretty much saying I won't stop because I won't.

"What happens if me or Ruby gets in your way." He said angrily.

"I don't mean it like that. I mean it in the ones who deserve it I'll do it to them, but the innocent I'll just knock them out." I say. I have morals, yes I'll break some, but the innocent will not be touched if I can help it.

"Kid, if the government doesn't come after you and take you down you'll just do it to yourself. I know I've been there." He said he was more concerned than angry like he understood where I am.

I knew since I told myself I'll do what is necessary if I need to. If needed I'll become a Monster to protect everyone I've already came to terms with that. I say. "I know, but I'm fine with both of those. My cause is bigger than me and if need be I'll die for it."

With ignorants of my situation he says. "And if you die, what about the things you leave behind. The people who care about you feel what they would feel." Nothing, they'll feel nothing, just death.

"Nothing because they'll be dead." I said as monotone as possible to try not to let my emotions touch that subject so my floodgates don't crack.

"What do you mean?" He said confused, he didn't know. So either Ozpin doesn't know everything or he's keeping Qrow in the dark.

"Ozpin doesn't know yet, it doesn't matter if you know. My world is being held hostage by the Gods and if I don't do this they'll destroy my home along with everything on it." The second I said Gods his face paled. Does he know of the gods? No, if someone told me Gods are holding their family hostage I would react weirdly to.

"..." Qrow didn't speak.

With a heavy heart I say. "I don't like killing, but if it's necessary I'll do it and if it brings a better tomorrow. Don't think it doesn't destroy my Soul, it's just what is necessary to do what's right for my planet. They need me so I can't fail." I can't fail them because I didn't finish the job properly.

"What happens when you start to be controlled by your bloodlust?" He said with a tiny amount of fear.

"Then I'll point myself to my enemies and let myself loose." I said fully convinced I would do that.

"Why with the self sacrificing shit. You can still save your planet and still live." He said annoyed at my willingness to die.

"I know, but I won't take any chances. I hope I can live through this….I want to live my life." I say as a crack appears in my imaginary dam that keeps my emotions at bay.

"To live you'll need to know how to fight properly and you're going to live. Tomorrow I'm going to teach you about my Sword style and no complaining if it's too hard." He said with a smug grin. Maybe I will live after all of this, I thought hopeful.

Annoyed about his comment, I say. "Do I ever complain Qrow…..and thanks it means a lot." I say. Throughout my journey many people have helped me while I might think this world is against me at every turn theirs the people who will help me get further to my goal. I'll beat the Darkness of this world.

Somewhere else in the forest. "Hazel, Tyrian, have you found your target?" Said a Grimm that had tentacles coming out of the bottom of it.

As soon as the Grimm was noticed Tyrian scrambled for it to talk to his Queen. "Yes my Queen, we'll be upon him soon." He said with a crazed smile.

The Grimm turned to Hazel and said. "Good, Hazel, while I understand your disgust with killing children I want you to kill this child before he becomes a true threat." Hazel brow frowned not with hatred, but with annoyance.

"Yes Salem." He said with no hesitation.

"Good now back to the hunt you go make me proud." The Grimm said before disappearing into the brush.

Tyrian looked at Hazel and smiled and said. "Hazel, you need to be more respectful to our Goddess."

"She'll receive respect when she earns it." Hazel said, speaking his will.

"Maybe I should teach you something about respect, maybe if I take an arm you'll understand to always speak to our queen with the utmost respect." Tyrian said with anger. Whenever anybody spoke bad about his Queen he'd be furious.

"If we fight Salem would be displeased." Hazel said, defusing the situation with precision.

"Yes, yes she will, I can't let that happen, never happen." He said crouching down talking to the floor.

Hazel seeing the terrified Train he says. "We rest for now, tomorrow we are back on the hunt for this child."

With a change of subject Tyrian started giggling. "Yes children are the best, they are so soft and adorable and when they're in your hands they're so….Breakable." He said while making a fist and tightening it while laughing maniacally.

Day 80 of 720 Before Earth's Death

Well Qrow's new training really pushed me further than I've ever gone before. Pretty much my skills with my Swords have gotten seriously better and after all I still trained my Aura and my Semblance to their limits.

After the last eight days we finally got to Whiterun. As we walked to the road to the gate it looked like the one in Skyrim. The place was on a hill, but it was way bigger than the game. The homes spanded as far as the eye could see. Around the city were plains that looked lush with green grass. Farms were outside the walls spread out all over, the cool part was there were guards walking around making sure the area stays secure of any Grimm. What wasn't here was the tundra. It was a good warm temperature that felt good on my skin.

Around the city was a 13 ft tall wall that was made of stone with cement pigment between the stones making it immovable.

As we got to the steel reinforced wooden gate. a guard with a yellow outfit with a helmet came to us and said. "Welcome travelers, are you going to enter our Great city?" He said cheerfully. He's not like the one in the game, but then again in the game a civil War and Dragon attacks were happening so I'd see why that guy was an ass.

"Yeah we need to get in." Qrow says.

"Sure, but not him, no homeless allowed to lollygag inside the city." He said pointing at me. Wait, do they just throw the homeless out into Grimm territory. Well this world is more brutal than mine so it wouldn't really surprise me. It's work or be left for dead society. Brutal, but a good way to keep them from getting lazy.

Annoyed that I'm being called a homeless guy, I say. "I'm not poor. I just had a tussle with a Ceptile." I don't like homeless people. Ok let me phrase that better, I don't like the young homeless people their young and can get a job and can keep it way better than a old guy, but they just come up to you after you went to a store to ask for change to feed them because their too lazy to work for it, yeah I have a bias, but I do have a good reason I already had a couple of fights with homeless people because they aggressively tell me to give them my money. I won all the fights pretty easily because you know aggressive healthy teen vs hungry guy.

"Oh you're a Huntsman?" The guard says looking at me. Shit!

With a save Qrow says. "No, he's my Apprentice and do you know the nearest bar and Huntsman clothing store is?" Of course Qrow wants a drink, but seriously not jokes he needs to tone it down with the drinking the whole way here he was drinking. The fuck also stole my emergency alcohol and drank it when I was deailing with some Grimm, the old fuck.

The guard nods and says. "Bannered Mare is in the plains district to get some mead and Natures Gift's for Huntsman clothing. Have a good day Huntsmen." He spoke like a fake salesman.

Me and Qrow were let into the city and wow did it look pretty. Butterflies flying everywhere and different types of flowers in pots that made the city look more colorful. The houses weren't made of thatch and shit wood it looked like a wood structure, but they used cement to fill in the gaps and make the houses incredibly strong. The place wasn't as technology advanced as Vale or Kakariko, but it is modern there's light poles and scrolls being used. So its Skyrim meets our Era.

"I'm going to go get clothes." I said wanting to stop being called a hobo.

"You got money," Qrow said, surprised.

"Yeah I got a good 2500." I said, remembering how much I got in my thigh pouch.

"How'd you get that?" He said with an eyebrow raised. This fucker, he thinks I stole it.

"No I didn't steal it I worked on Silverkeeps broken wall for the cheddar." I said telling the truth. Seriously you kill a couple of people and he just assumes I break every law.

"Good, I'm going to get a drink, don't die here or I'm going to be really disappointed." He said monotone.

"I don't die easy." I say with confidence.

"Good, later." He says walking away hunched over, wondering why he does that?

I look around and head to the plains district. I wonder if that pompous asshole is gonna try and talk to me about the Cloud District because I'll fucking suplex him.

As I got there I saw a store with multiple armors on display and a billboard that said Nature's Gift, found it. I walk in and see to my left aisle of clothes and to my right was the counter and cashier and in front of me in the back of the room was a door probably to the back room.

As I step a foot further a Beautiful black haired Woman with a healthy slim figure with light peach tone skin. Who looked 5' 7" buts still walked confidently out of the back door. She had a light blue sundress that made her look really good. She had white leggings with blue flowers on it with fancy, but comfortable heels. She noticed me and I said. "Hi...do you hav…"

Interrupting me she screams. "Ohhh my god homeless man!" Dah shit.

In an instant to save my ass I say. "Wait, wait, no please I'm here to buy clothes!" I yelled as she came at me with a Retractable Staff out of nowhere, holy shit she's actually going to fight me.

She stopped and looked at me confused and said. "What, do you have money?" Oh thank god I didn't have to knock her out.

"Yeah." I said hopefully defusing the situation.

Her eyes go wide and she sheepishly says. "Oh...my bad." Her face turned a ting pink from embarrassment.

Feeling kinda bad I say. "It's fine, I do look like a hobo right now." To make her feel less like an idiot.

After a quick apology she looks at me in thought and says. "Hey you look familiar."

"I do?" I say confused, but then again, dammit I think she knows who I am.

She pulls out her scroll and starts tapping on it and says. "Yeah, hold on a minute" she taps it one more time then her eyes go wide and she looks at me then the scroll and me again. "No way, no way, your Ryuu!" She said like a fangirl, a better reaction than I thought. Also does she have a photo of me?

"Uhhhh hi." I say lifting a hand so wave awkwardly

Her surprised face turned into excitement and she started rambling. "Oh my god you're really him. My sister Lavender told me all about you. She even sent me this picture two months ago." She showed me the photo and it was me and another girl smushed together, holy shit it's that one girl for Kakariko. This is her sister! I look back at her and she's just smiling and says. "You got an outfit from her, now you need an outfit from me, I got you come on."

I followed her to get some clothes. "Ever since you saved Kakariko, Lavender sent me a picture of you. I've been making sketches of your Huntsman attire." She said excitedly as I followed her to the back room to check out her sketch.

Surprised by what I say. "Really, thanks, but why?" I ask because I'm a stranger to her even if I did save her sister.

With a blush she embarrassedly says. "Because you're just like the Heros in the books. You've been traveling from town to town saving them, first was Kakariko from the White Fang, then Silverkeep from that Crazy Mayor and Grimm, and the latest you saved the hostages from the Brawnen tribe for Konoha. Every Hero needs a good outfit to go with their title." Holy shit is she fangirling hard, while It's narcissistic to say this, but I do like being praised and let me tell you she's doing a lot of that.

"Thanks, so what is it?" I say really excitedly the only thing that's been made just for me is my Longsword and I'm getting an outfit to go with it.

"Here look." She said, waving me over to a table with a massive amount of sketches. She picked five pieces from the pile and handed them to me.

It was a sketch of a man with black tight t-shirt with deep red highlights at the edges, red with black vambraces with black fingerless gloves, there was a chunk of exposed skin at the elbow of my arms. The legs were pure black jeans that looked normal and skinny combat boots that were deep red with parts of black. On paper this seems like a casual look to me, but it still looks good.

"It's Ryuu prototype 1 or 2 because you got those last clothes from my sister's store." She said happy.

I had one question only because I'm still fighting in a life or death situation. "This looks awesome, but where is the armor?" I said not wanting to die because I wanted to look cool. Also my armor did save me before when the 2nd in command at Banditville when she shot me multiple times. My leather chest piece saved my ass from being swiss cheese, may it rest in pieces.

With a confused look she says. "It is the clothes, duhhh. The shirt is pretty much a Kevlar vest and so is all of the clothes." Holy shit I didn't think of that. It makes it practical and effective, the perfect combo.

Really happy with everything about it I say. "I'll take it, how much do you owe?"

She thought and said. "Well that would be…..1500 for everything." I don't know if I'm being scammed or getting a good price, but I don't care, money means nothing to me.

I hand her the money immediately and say. "Here, so when do I get it?" I said really excited.

She looked a little embarrassed and said. "Well the thing is I already made one to put on display so you can have that one." She's already made one, but why she hasn't even met me until today, doesn't matter, she's just fangirling.

"Does it have my measurements?" I say concerned because of my idiocy. I don't know how to pick good clothes. They're always a bit tight or too big. I want something I'd be happy to die in.

The first word she said slow. "No, but it's flexible so you'll be able to squeeze into it." I gave her a look and her expression turned a little annoyed. "Ok I'll make you a brand new one, but it'll take two days." Woo.

"I kinda need it right now." I said jestering to my rags of clothes.

With a pinch of her nose she says. "Ok take the display and I'll make you a new one, but you better take care of the display clothes because you're returning it and if you don't I'll come for you." She said threatening things which to me looked pretty cute.

"Good to know." I said a little concerned because I'm pretty sure these clothes are going to get destroyed.

She goes to a rack with multiple clothes and grabs a small stack and comes back to me. She lays it on the table so I can put it on. Like a normal man with dignity I gave her a gesture to look away because while I may look better my insecurities still lingered. Not to say I looked horrible because my god was I happy with the results of my countless hours of training, the best part was that because of Aura there were no stretch lines.

With my shirt off I put on the new shirt and I do the same with the pants. Finally I tied my Gray Bandana around my neck again, gotta stay consistent with this iconic treasure. When I look back at the woman she still had her back turned, I'm not playing. I really thought she was going to be peeking at me, guess I was wrong….good I like honest people "So how does it feel?" She says

"A ting tight, but it feels really good." I said flexing a bit in it and was it comfy the boots felt so light I'm pretty sure they weren't their and they had some incredible foam at the point my feet feel like their in a cloud and the shirt might be a bit tight it was awesome and I felt the armor inside the shirt and man did it feel strong and the jeans were the same as my last comfy and stretchy to a fault. Overall my new clothes were so good to wear.

"Of course it does, those last clothes you had were cheap brands, but these are high quality." She said with pride. I'm only getting high quality now. I can't go back to cheap shit now.

Really happy with this I say. "This is awesome, thanks…...what's your name? Sorry I forgot to ask." Stupid, stupid I told myself to ask before getting in with the converation not after it.

With a genuine smile she says. "It's Veronica, and don't worry about it. I tried to kick you out when I first saw you." Hah jokes.

"True, do you know where a man named Eorlund Gray-Mane is." I ask because I'm looking for the man of the hour.

In though she said. "Eorlund he's to the right of the great stairs to Dragonsreach." Boom got his location going to kidnap, I mean talk to him.

With an ecstatic smile I say. "Thanks later."

As I was about to leave she said, "Wait before you go, can I take a selfie?"

"Your sister asked the same, sure it's the least I could do." I said happy with my new armor.

With a snap the picture was taken, but in that instant She kissed me on the cheek and said. "I'm so going to keep this." After saying that she looked at the ground and said "Hey Ryuu" in an emotional voice.

"Yeah, is something wrong?" I said, a little concerned, what I try to be a good guy whenever I can.

She says. "No it's just thank you, when you saved Kakariko from the White Fang you saved my sister from a grizzly death, my sister means the world to me and you saved her without thinking of your own life." Like she was on the verge of tears.

With a smile and as Heroic of a voice I can, I say. "It was worth it, and I'd do it again, thanks Veronica for the awesome clothes."

"Your welcome Ryuu now go save some more people." She says getting her excited expression back.

I say while leaving. "I will, I will" the final two words were for me and no one else.

With a smile she waved me goodbye. With me gone she realizes something. "Dammit I didn't get his name, ahhh I'm an idiot….maybe I'll see him later before I leave. He was really cute and nice." She said while getting more of a blush the more she thinks of him, he was way more than she expected. You know what, I'll give him a present when he comes back.

Ok so this is like Whiterun from the game so just go the normal way. I walked down the street, but it was complex with multiple different ways to go, fuck It's nothing like the game. Ok just go to the big ass castle. I walked until I got to some big ass stairs, found the great stairs. I looked to the right and saw multiple shops and a special place it was called Jorrvaskr, guess the companions are here too. Looking a little more I saw a building with an anvil sign with a display of beautiful weapons and armor and behind both was a Belo of smoke coming from behind the building. Guess he forging, time to get my Dragon Sword.

"Mister Eorlund, you must understand these pieces are very critical to Atlas's safety." Winter says, trying to convince the annoyed blacksmith.

"Yeah and you make it sound like I give a damn." He said as he went back to hammering a hot red piece of metal.

"Please sir, we can come to an agreement, if money the answer will reward you generously." She said trying everything for the old fool to accept the agreement.

With a furious expression he says. "No, I don't care about money. You Atlas folk are all the same thinking you can buy anything with money, even slaves."

With a conflicted face like she wanted to argue with him she said. "...We aren't talking about what goes on in the SDC this is about Atl….."

He got up leaving his work and interrupted her with no remorse and was ready to rip her a new one. "You seem to not understand Atlas, Let's the SCD get away with it and now Atlas is forcing us to supply their mining next door. If that's the Atlas I'm going to help then fuck that, now leave." He said with a red face full of anger, little did she know he had the whole thing planned from the start.

Winter quickly went back into professional mode due to an opening she could use for him to cooperate. "Sir, then we can come to an agreement on that subject. If we stop the operation over there will you agree to build these?"

"Like hell I would. if I do agree to this you'll just start the mining again when you're done with me, I know you slimy bastards." He said with venom seeping out of his mouth.

Her composer crumbled as she drawed her weapon to threaten the man, she was playing straight into his hands. "I've had enough of this. I gave you ample opportunities to comply, but you left me with no option.

In an instant her blade clashed against another. "What the hell do you think you're doing, he is an old man without a weapon." I say with fury.

With a flick of her Sword she tries to knock my Sword aside, but mine don't budge. She got annoyed and said, "Get out of my way, citizen this is Atla….."

I interrupt her and say. "I don't care who you're with if you can't come to an agreement then leave or we're going to have a problem." I fucking hate goverment, mostly when their bullying people around to get what they want.

"You dare challenge me!" She says furious that a child was interfering with her business.

"I do bitch." I say getting ready to fight.

Suddenly the door to the store was kicked open and Qrow walks in with a drink and says nonchalantly. "Hey Ice queen, you mind chilling before you burst."

"Qrow, why are you here?!" She says getting more annoyed by the second.

"Could ask you the same, but I wouldn't give a shit. If you want violence I'll be your target." He said taking the violence away from me, fucker for once I want to fight someone and he tries to take it away.

"Hey she was mine." I say annoyed, I want to hit her down a peg.

"Kid I'm like 30 percent sure you can take her, but she's hot headed she'll actually kill you if she wins." He says right before taking another drink. Heh I had worse chances and came out on top.

"Wow you're a bitch." I said just out of principle.

She starts to grind her teeth and says. "I'll remove that tongue of yours!" She popped a valve, good. I like getting people aggravated with me. It's one of my specialties.

Before the woman could even move, Qrow spoke up. "Try it and I'll report it to the Valelan Council. I can see it now, headline "Atlas Specialist critically injures Vale Citizen for no apparent reason other than she was pissed." After listening to Qrow she begrudgingly sheathed her weapon and went for the door.

Before she left she said. "Ironwood will hear of this." Before slamming the door, leaving. Good riddance. I hate "Superior people".

"Like I care what the Tincan says!" He yelled at the door.

"You have history?" I said curious.

With a nod he says. "Yeah me and her were on a mission in Atlas a couple years ago." That makes sense.

"Damn that must have sucked." I say, who would ever be around a person who acts like that.

He looked at his drink and said. "Nah it was pretty good she wasn't as uptight. She only got this bad until Ironwood took her to be a specialist." Specialists, oh yeah their Atlas Academies Personal Special Ops. Fuck Atlas their a bunch of asshole practically forcing newly trained Huntsman to join the specialist to become the best kindom around.

"Think she was brainwashed?" I said because of my movie filled mind.

"No, her skulls too thick for that, she actually had a crush on Ironwood back then and I guess she does as he says to get his attention." He said, assuming.

"Damn she is thirsty." I said knowing the feeling of doing things to get someone's attention.

With a grin he says. "You can say that again."

Now the commotion was over. I look over to the white hair man I've been looking for, for so long. He looked almost exactly like from the game half dressed with armor and a scraggly beard with long white hair with dirt all over himself. "Uhhh hi, are you Eorlund?"

"I am boy." He said rubbing his temple like he was annoyed.

I pulled out my red Dragon Scale and said. "I'm here to have you forge me a special blade out of these materials."

"I will not." He said seriously while looking into my eyes.

"Why?" I said completely surprised.

With an annoyed voice he says. "You ruined my scheme." The second that reached Qrow's ears he started laughing.

"What, she was going to attack you." I said confused.

"Kid, he wanted that to happen." Qrow said, telling me the obvious.

With a realization I say. "Oh…. I'm sorry, but please I need this forged." I said keeping my composer to try to convince him.

"If you need it forged you can do it yourself." He said pointing at a furnace with molten metal in it.

"I would, but I'm complete shit at smithing and these materials can only be molded in Mount Helios's Flames." I said hoping he'd help me.

With an annoyed look. "...No I won't do it, you ruined my plan and now you want me to climb that treacHerous mountain to make you a silly weapon." He says as if I was a child who asked a stupid question.

I get on my knees and beg. "Please I'm begging you I need this to save my peo…"

He cut in before I could finish and said. "Save your people, that's what everybody says. If you want your blade forged in that Volcano then you can do it yourself." He yelled at me while pointing to a chest full of equipment. No, No, No!

With a suppression of my emotions I say. "Fine." I walked over to the chest and picked it up and I started walking out. "Thank you," I said , forcing myself to say it.

With a chuckle he says. "I'd expected the opposite out of your mouth boy, you got manners at least." He went back to hitting a hammer to a metal piece.

As I left the building I threw the chest down on the floor and tried to control my fucking rage, but failed. "Motherfucker!" I yelled at the top of my lungs.

"What's wrong kid." Qrow said behind me a little concern. So far for him he's never seen me so angry, I've been annoyed in front of him before for sure, but I always stayed calm.

With a couple of deep breaths I start thinking clearly again and start making plan after plan to resolve this issue. "Qrow this weapon I'm about to forge will be the key to beating the Witch and if it's shit what use will it be." I said still pissed.

For the first time since coming to Whiterun, Qrow got serious when he heard that. This was the weapon to truly make the difference. "That's bad, I would say let's rough up Eorlund, but I've met him before he's an incredibly stubborn man, he won't budge so what's the plan?"

"I'll make my weapon." I said, I hate being reliant on people, but thier is a chance I can do it by myself, theirs a percent chance that the Sword comes out good enough and I have to take that chance and if I do fuck up who says I can't have someone else redo it.

"What happens if it's not strong enough?" Qrow says concerned.

"I'll go kidnap some other smith and make them redo it." I said just making up some stupid plan.

"That's a bit much, but whatever as long as you don't start breaking laws left and right." He said ok with said plan.

"Let's go." I said ready to just get this over with. If I need to, I'll bring that old guy who made my Longsword. He's probably better than Eorlund Shitstain.

Immediately we left Whiterun and went to Mount Helios. Helios wasn't that far away, it was like 10 miles away so we just little jogged over, which for us was pretty much a full sprint for Earthlings. To make the trip easier I used my Thread to pick up the chest of equipment and keep it close. I already looked inside it and it was a bunch of equipment. I didn't know what it did. The good thing is it had a manual, it was shittly done, but it's still a manual. The way it works is you make a mold and put said mold into a concrete fire resistant covering and put it into the lava and on top of the cover is a hooper where you put the material so when it melts it goes straight to the mold inside the cover, this is complicated.

Ignoring the forging process for now I started to talk to Qrow to cool down my anger as we followed the path up Helios.

"So do you have any more tips for fighting?" I said wanting something to think about instead of the situation we're in now.

With a quick drink he says. "Hmmmm your Semblance is versatile and you use it well, but you can go further." This got my attention.

"How?" I said wanting to know what he meant.

He pointed at the ground and said. "Think about the battlefield. If you put your Thread into the ground you can start shaping the battlefield into your favor." Holy shit he's right I could make the surroundings a nightmare for my enemy and a dream land for me.

"That's an actual good idea." I said a little happy that I got a new strategy in my set of tricks.

"Also how good do you think you are at Aura manipulation?" He said.

"I think I'm good at it." I said not really knowing if I'm really any good at it.

"Wrong, you're not good, you're great and you could be using it to a further extent." He said, shattering my mentality about how good I am with Aura. I could use Aura further, how? "Your talent with Aura is incredible, if you practice I'm sure you can do an Aura Arc. You can make it fly towards your enemy while you're not in range. All you have to do is put the Aura to the tip and let it leave your weapon. Your defense with Aura it's…..ama...amazing you condense your Aura to a certain point and pretty much stopping all damage, I've been trying my whole life to be able to do that, but you, you learned it in months of being here. Kid you're a prodigy with Aura. You're able to use Aura to a level that not even some masters are able to do. It's so bullshit even your Aura comes back fast as shit, it normally takes dozens of minutes to get it back, but over at Banditville you got it back in five minutes flat. Kid, Ozpin once told me if you Truly master Aura a man can become something Else and if you keep progressing I'm sure you will become that Something Else." He said with a dead serious tone.

"..." I stayed silent to think. Am I really that good at Aura over at the Monastery? They didn't mention it, but I do see what Qrow is talking about. If I keep getting better I can become this something else, if it makes me stronger I'll reach for it, but if it won't it's useless to me.

"Kid, while you're great at Aura you still can improve." He said still wanting me to get better.

"I know that that's why I'll never stop improving." I said with resolve. Every day I hardened my resolve and trained with intensity. When I say everyday I mean it if I'm injured I practice my Aura if I can train my body I do and I always use my Semblance whenever I can. Since the day I came here has been nonstop training and it might seem like I'm an emotionless machine only looking for power, but I just don't want to lose, I don't want to lose because I didn't put my all into it.

With a smile he says. "Good now let's get to the entrance into the mountain"

"Into it?" I said confused, I thought we were going to the top to forge the blade.

"Yeah there's a hole in the mountain to get into it. It's where weapons are made. Mount Helios is a place where the best weapons are forged. It's the reason Whiterun was built close to it so it can profit off of it. Hell, even my Harbinger was forged here and let me tell you it served me well." Wow this place makes the best weapons. Hopefully it's amazing flames and can make up for my terrible weapon making skills.

Wait, something felt wrong about his story and I say. "So you're good at making weapons?"

With a nervous chuckle he says. "No Eorlund made mine, if I made it. It would probably break in the middle of a death fight." You've got to be kidding me.

"Wait, why did he make it for you, but not for me. Better question, why didn't you help me convince him" I said angrily.

"It was like 20 year ago he doesn't remember me, one out of thousands of people he's met. Also you ruined his plan and the bigger reason this mountain has been getting more and more dangerous. Strong Grimm live on it and sometimes if you're not careful you might fall into a pit of lava. Even Whiterun stopped paying Huntsman to escort smiths because there's always casualties." So this is Mount Doom, fucking great.

"Great, we're climbing that mountain." I said annoyed, why can't anything ever be just safe.

In a different part of Mount Helios Two powerful enemies lurk. "We're close Hazel. I can't wait to please my queen with his blood." Tyrian said going into his psychotic mode.

"Hmmmm." Hazel hummed showing no emotion. Soon they will meet their foes.

For the first day we got ¾ up Helios's rocky landscape filled with Grimm and spots of greenery. Most of the fucking way Grimm came from everyway direction, they weren't that strong, but their was so many of them. Afterall Quantity is a Quality all of Its own.

While we climbed Helios I tried out the attack, Qrow told me off. It took a couple of tries, but I got it, and I see why he says I'm a prodigy with Aura. When I did it I felt one of my scars flared up from the sight. It looked just like the attack Adam used to almost cut me in half, fuck did it bring back bad memories. I am scared of him, sure, but that doesn't mean if we meet again I won't fight him, but that doesn't mean the scars he left me with will ever fade both mentally and physically.

After the little trip down memory lane I started timing how fast my Aura charges. I had Qrow beat the Aura out of me then I counted how long it took it to come back completely. Well the time is 25 minutes for complete recovery, but something was weird. For the first 25% it came back in minutes, but when it went past that threshold it slowed down. There could be many reasons why maybe it is because of my natural instinct to put my shield back up when I'm defenseless or some other reason. All I know is that I am becoming very proficient at Aura control.

Day 81 of 720 Before Earth's Death.

Finally we got to the entrance. It was massive. It was just a door hole in the stone volcano.

"Come on or are you afraid of the dark." Qrow said, having a little fun.

"No, I'm only afraid of Crazy women." I said truthfully, seriously have you met a woman who's on a rampage, it's scary as shit, even demonic I would say.

With a chuckle he says. "Hah, me too, they are the scariest." Hey at least I'm not the only one.

We walked into the entrance. All I saw was pitch darkness until we saw a red light at the end of the tunnel. As we got closer heat started to hit us, hmmmm that feels good.

As we exited the tunnel the heat intensified, ok not as good. I looked and it was amazing the fucking volcano was hallowed out on the inside with only a massive hole in the ceiling that released all of the toxic fumes in this place. The floor beneath us was a couple feet deep, but under that was no more rock, this was a fucking cliff. The floor had an edge protruding to the middle of the volcano, it looked like the place in the shadow of Mordor that you make the New ring. I walked to the edge and looked down, 50 feet down was lava. Guess that's why there's metal rope in the chest.

"Here we are, kid, this is the Skyforge." He said taking another drink from his flask, seriously he always has that.

"You've got to be kidding me." I said surprised, then again I shouldn't be I'm in the land of references.

"Well what are you waiting for?" He said pointing at the cliff.

Well time to get to work. "It's going to take a while to prep the melting." I say with annoyance at the manual and it stupid process

"Go ahead, I'll be outside keeping watch." He said walking back to the entrance to protect me from the Grimm.

"Hey if there's any trouble, holler!" I yelled at him.

"Sure kid, but I don't think you'll be much use in a fight." He said with a cocky tone.

"Asshat" I said to myself, seriously he acts as if I'm a liability in fights, maybe back then, but now it's different.

Eh fuck him let's get started. I start prepping the process. I open the cover to put the mold in. What do I want a Longsword or a Shortsword? I already have a Longsword so Shortsword it is. With my Thread I make a quick model of the blade of the Shortsword I want and I put it in the clay and start covering it. Over a good hour I did everything and went step by step by what the manual said. With it done I put the Red Dragon Scale in the container so it can melt into the shape I want it to. At the edge there was a metal latch bolted to the ground, guess this was used for this. I latch the metal rope onto the latch and slowly lower it until it was literally in the lava. The manual said leave the metal there for a good 15 minutes. Mine isn't metal, it's the King of the Dragons armor so let's make it 30 minutes.

I finish and I look down at the slowly melting Scales. This is it. The creation of my ultimate weapon. I felt the relief fly into my body. The weight of the world was partly relieved, it felt so good.

First step complete

Might as well go to Qrow and see how he's doing. I start walking to Qrow. As I leave the Skyforge I see Qrow with his flask in his left hand and his other his Harbinger in scythe mode, Qrow hardly ever uses the Scythe mode only for tough Grimm. Feet away from him were Manticores. The Lion looking Grimm that looked more dangerous than they really were.

I felt rumbling and I saw dirt come off of the ceiling. An avalanche of rock came from above us and hit half of the manticores and in that instant Qrow started to slaughter the Grimm. They didn't even last a couple of seconds. After he was done he turned to me with a cocky smile.

Well if you can do what he does, guess you can be cocky sometimes. "Guess you didn't need any help." I say.

"Of course I didn't. I'm a badass." He said, patting himself on the back. Well there goes my respect for him.

"Don't go breaking your hand patting your back." I said wanting to break his self jerk session.

With a smile he says. "That's a good one, so are you done yet?"

I shake my head and say. "No it needs to melt into the mold. It'll take 30 minutes more than we can leave." I say. I'm going to get it down the moutain and back to Whiterun to start sharpening it because fuck staying up here for too long when I could do all of it in the safety of the walls of Whiterun.

"Good, I don't like this place. There's way too many Grimm for my liking." He said looking below where Grimm started to crawl closer.

"Yeah, but it's a perfect place for me. Maybe if we stay at Whiterun a while I'll come up here to start exterminating these Grimm." I say a little cocky. Well I know I can take Grimm no problem so if this place is infested with them might as well cull the herd.

With a frown he looks at me and says. "Kid you're crazy. You're good, but not invincible. Remember that you've been lucky so far, so don't push it further than it needs to." ...He's right

"Yeah thanks for the reminder." I say a little grateful, while I have been getting stronger I've also been getting cocker and that's bad. You always need that person to tell you, you need to calm down.

I sat down on a rock and looked around. There were Grimm in the forest part down below; they hadn't noticed us so I ignored them for now. Just doing nothing and waiting didn't sit well with me so I started practicing my Aura again.

I've been thinking our bodies can only hold so much Aura so where does the excess go? Maybe it leaves the body and becomes like air and if I'm right I can start feeling the world around me, by sensing it through the Aura in the air.

Instead of pouring my Aura into the ground to do a Radar Pulse I just sat still and felt the air around me swearl. I forced my Aura into my brain and ears and my skin. Instead of my perception getting faster I felt the Aura in the air, holy shit I'm right. I listened a bit more and I heard the trees, grass, birds start leaking with Aura, their bodies were giving off that excess Aura. Guess I found a cool new trick. The only way I could explain how this worked was it was just like echolocation, the thing bats use to see. I let a bit of Aura out of me, but only a bit away from my skin and I let the Aura in the air bounce off of mine and I heard and saw the Aura around me, already got a name for it, Aura Vision. I started searching more and more, seeing all of the life around us. This was incredible. I started to smile a bit from the life around me.

Feeling at peace and just feeling the life this world was giving off I started relaxing. As I heard the Aura of life, I felt a disturbance. Down the mountain and a bit to the right of my position, Aura stopped leaking like the life around that area just died, that's not a good sign. Soon I felt two other Auras, one that was sickly purple entirely except for a tiny spot inside that was a beautiful purple light and the other was a Brown that seemed dead on the outside, but the inside was burning with passion it seemed like it was driven by pure will.

They're coming towards us. Might as well warn Qrow if this will be a problem. God I feel something's bad is about to happen.

"Qrow I sense two Auras down there and they're coming towards us." I said stretching a bit and drawing my Longsword for a potential fight.

"You can sense Aura? You know what nevermind, how long until they get here?" He said drawing his Harbinger and putting away his flask.

I focus back on their Aura and I hear them speed up tremendously. "Shit, they just sped up, we got 10 seconds, get ready!" I said grabbing my Dust capacitor.

"Just our luck." Qrow said annoyed

I looked in the direction the two Aura were coming from and started to search for them. Qrow, noticing me looking that way, started searching too. In a second a man jumped out of the brush from below and landed between me and Qrow. This guy has a creepy smile that looked psychotic. "Hello there travelers!" He said in a sing-song voice. The guy was a pale man with gold eyes and a brown braided ponytail, it looked somewhat like a scorpion tail. He wore a white sleeveless shirt under his trench coat with leather belts strapped to it, along with white pants. His jacket is left open, exposing his bare chest, which is crisscrossed with some sick scars. His arms are covered with purple wrappings and leather vambraces. He also wears leather boots covering his entire shin with knee guards. On each ear was identical earing.

This guy looks like a serial killer combined with a pedophile.

"Hi, do you need something?" I say bending my knees a bit if he tries to attack me right off the bat.

With a giggle he crouches and looks at me and he says. "Yes I'm looking for a child, he of your size and looks just like you and has delusions of being a Hero." He just described me great, he's here for me.

Before I spoke another person landed on the other side of Qrow. The new guy was a tall and muscular middle aged man. He has short brown hair, a brown beard, Brown skin, and Hazel eyes, how much you wanna bet his name is Hazel. He wore a dark green coat over a white shirt and he had a large belt. His pants were black, with a pouch strapped to each pants leg, and his boots were brown with white fronts.

His hairy arms have some scars near the edges of his sleeves, dude's a cutter, wonder what skeletons he has in his closet. "So you're here for me, why?" I said thinking who would want me. Ozpin, no his puppets right next to me and he could have done it so long ago. Salem, it's a almost definite yes, but there could be a new faction that just revealed itself.

With a joker-like smile he says. "Well my queen wants you dead of course, now do me a favor and di…" The guy was about to finish until Qrows foot hit the guy's face, launching him towards me. Dammit he did it before I could. On instinct I twist myself out of the way and kick him in the chest sending him further behind me, wow this guys a pushover.

Qrow landed and with a serious face said. "Fucking hate psychopaths, Andres their from Salem don't hold back. Either they die or we do!" So Salem's group, so they finally came for me and just before I got my ultimate weapon, fuck my luck.

I look at the Big guy and I see him still standing there with a calm expression like we didn't just kick his friend away. "I kinda got that when he said he wants me dead. I'll take the Psycho you take the Big one." I said getting angry on purpose to fuel my Semblance.

"You'll both die." The big guy says before taking off his coat and throwing it to the side, wow you're cool. As the coat hit the floor Qrow was inches in front of him already attacking him.

"It's unlikely." I say with an annoyed voice. I look away from the other fight to focus on mine. As I look in the Psycho's direction and I see him inches away from my face just staring into my eyes. I uppercut him, but he didn't even seem fazed by it.

With a giggle he says. "Your eyes their the one's of a murder. It's nice to meet a fellow killer my name's Tyrian Callows and don't worry I already know your name." Why, seriously everybody always knows if I killed somebody is it like a six sense that people on this planet have.

"Shut up and fight, fuck face." I say as my hand goes to my Dust capacitor.

Immediately I put the compactor at 8 and swallow. I start feeling the sensation of tingles all over my body. Immediately I cover myself in my hard light Thread to get my defense up so I can use my True Aura without the fear of it being broken easily. Before I could start the process for my True Aura Tyrian came at me with some bullshit speed, dammit why is everyone incredibly fast now.

He jabbed at me with his right, but before he could I blocked it with my Sword. His weapon was a handle and on both sides had blades in them and above hand were two holes that looked like guns.

Before I could counterattack he jumped over me and kicked me from behind. Shit this guys better than I thought. I backed up a bit, but the guy kept the pressure up. I blocked another attack, but the second I did he dropped to the floor and tried to trip me, this guy fought erratically. As the more on the defensive I got, the more he smiled with glee, what a creepy asshole.

Then he decided to speak up as I blocked one of his attacks, we kept blades clashing making sparks fly everywhere. "You know, I knew you weren't a threat the second you kicked me, but Qrow Brawnewn he is a true Huntsman by every right, too bad you're not as good."

He grabbed my blade with his right hand keeping me in place and stabbed my gut with his left blade, it hit my hardlight decreasing the damage it did, but it still made my Aura flare up. fuck what steroids does this guy take.

I backed up and put up my guard so I could think of a plan. Tyrian was well, aggressive wasn't a good enough word. He didn't even give me a millisecond to get a breather. What made it even worse he's movement was so fucking erratic I didn't know what to pay attention to, his blades, his legs, or his headbutts. While he was pushing me back I did block most of his incredibly powerful attacks, each time I block a attack a small shockwave would be unleashed, seriously this guy's stupid strong.

If normal people were watching our fight it would seem as if we were disappearing and appearing everytime we clashed. I didn't like how he was making me go on the defensive so much so I slashed at him, but he just disappeared and appeared behind me, he kicked the back of my knee making me fall to my knees and with the strength of a dump truck he punched the back of my head. He sent me flying into the ground head first.

I got up out of instinct and got back into a defensive stance, ok don't do that again. This is getting fucking annoying he's way too fast and strong I need my True Aura. I tried multiple times to get my True Aura up, but he kept pressure up, making sure I didn't do anything, but fight back. He was fast and it looked like he wasn't even trying to fight, this fucker was mocking me. You know what fuck this.

I drop my Longsword and grab the guy by his coat and headbutt him with intent to break something.

Tyrian didn't even move, no the fucker took the blow and stepped back a bit without even flinching. I looked at him and his nose was broken, he didn't show any signs of pain. Actually he looked happy that I broke it. He grabbed his nose and started to fix it.

As this opportunity showed itself I dug deep within myself and grabbed my Anger and Rage. With the Anger of my burning world, my surroundings start to light up red from my Aura. Finally time to kick his ass

"Finally, are you at full power, I can't wait to show you how powerless you are to the Queen's servants." He said, licking his two blades, dudes weirder than junkies that yell at nothing.

In an instant I grabbed my dropped Sword and was upon him with a powerful downward strike. He didn't move, he just stood there doing nothing. A millisecond before my blade hit his head a blackish purple thing stopped it, great what bullshit is he gonna pull off now.

I looks what it was and it was a tail, a scorpian tail fuck this guys a Faunus. "Well if you're going all out I shall do the same."

He looked at me then started to giggle maniacally then he ran at me with bullshit speed, I kept up, but barely. He stabbed me again with his right, but I blocked. His other hand came at me with a purple Aura covering it and for some reason he touched my right chest. When he touched me my Aura in that area disappeared, what the fuck.

In an instant his hand was replaced with a stinger, the stinger's needle penetrated my Aura and my Aura filled Thread as it went a good inch in my chest and I felt a wet sensation. Shit it hurts like a bitch. On instinct with my left hand I uppercut the asshole and he took it and flipped backwards with my force.

Dammit I grab my new wound and check it and see a purple liquid drip out, fuck the guy poisoned me. Dammit I'm going to die from poison. It hurts….

Wait…..I don't feel anything, I don't feel his poison.

I look at Tyrian and I see him just giggling like a schoolgirl. He doesn't know that I wasn't affected by it.

After a good laugh he says. "I directly hit you. You'll be dead in minu…." With purpose I closed the distance between us and attacked. Tyrian suprised by me still going as fast, he hesitated a bit. Before he could even block I hit him with my open palm using an Aura Disruptor, I got like 6 seconds let's make it count.

When my Aura disruptor hit him, his eyes widened in realization that he fucked up bad.

In a millisecond I stabbed him in the throat, but Aura blocked it. I kept the assault up hitting every direction. Tyrian tried to back up, but without his Aura buffs speeding him up I started to really put the hurt on him.

To help me a bit more I summoned a dozen Threads and made them enter the ground and emerge under his legs and wrap themselves around his legs keeping them in place. 3 seconds left, this isn't working. This guy was adapting fast, he was learning how I striked and started to predict it before it happened even without his Aura buffs, his tail was resilient and fast enough to stop half of my attacks. I drawed my Shortsword with my left and I attacked one again, but with a plan.

He blocks my Shortsword and then he barely blocks my Longsword. He smiles at me like he thought he was keeping up with me still even with a disadvantage, time to shatter that illusion. I release the Thread under him and with my right leg kick him in the nuts then with a spin to build up momentum I kick him up the face, while summoning a couple of Threads to go into his mouth and try to kill him straight off the bat, because fuck this guy. When he was hit in the family jewels he hunched over grabbing them in pain. With my second kick he went straight in the air with his back to me.

With both Swords I start launching multiple Aura Arcs to damage him as much as possible before his buff comes back. Each of the Arcs hit him hard, making his Aura flare intensely.

Final second I grabbed him by all limbs with my Thread and pulled him back with speed. He was defenseless and he couldn't move outta the way.

I got under him with both hands on my Longsword. As he got close to me I stabbed up into his back making his purple Aura flare again and making him scream in pain. After that I backed up again to make a new plan. I checked on the Thread inside of him and it seemed that this guy trained his Aura to protect his insides, great I can't cheat me way out of this.

Tyrian got back up while rubbing his back. His having fun face disappeared with one of anger.

For some reason he aimed his fist at me then started shooting, fuck. I immediately started spinning my Longsword like a pinwheel blocking the full automatics bullets, while I did that I started summoning hundreds of Threads behind my back to start my next plan. He came running at me and I horizontally slashed at him, but he just slid underneath my attack and hit me in the back, flaring my Aura, even with my hardlight Thread up his attack did a hefty amount of damage. As I turn I see his right hand stretched out with a purple Aura, he's gonna try the same trick.

As he's about to touch me, but before he could I pull a couple of strings attached to his left hand, his attack got pulled to the right changing the trajectory making it go straight past me.

As it went past me. I punched him with my left hand in the face, but his tail got in the way.

Instead of pushing against the tail I grabbed it and wrapped my Thread around the stinger and started to crush it with all the force I can, to take it out of the equation and made my arms attached to the tail and started pulling. As I was about to stab him I poured my Aura at the end of my blade making the Aura Arc into a precise hit and then stabbed him in the gut.

By just the power of my new attack he gets sent back, but he only goes so far because of my arm still attached to his tail making it increadbile vulnerable to a attack, I fucking hate that tail.

With an Aura Strike I hit the tail with all the strength I can manage, the rocks and grass around us got pushed back a bit from the shockwave of the impact. Instead of hitting his Aura it hit the armor of It's tail and shattered it, the dumbshit isn't using his Aura to protect his tail what an idiot. He must have thought his tail is strong enough that it doesn't need Aura so he doesn't waste it when he defends with it. As I pulled back he screamed in pain then grabbed his tail to sooth it. This guy while I am doing good I can't keep it up forever mostly because I'm a trickster and they only work once, idea Qrow. I look for Qrow quickly and see him fighting just behind Tyrian a couple dozen feet away.

l yell loudly. "Qrow, Switch!'' He looks at me and does exactly what I said, you gotta love people who actually follow orders. He runs at speeds you'd only see in DBZ. Tyrian, hearing what I said, looks at Qrow. He looked at Qrow which made him less able to defend against me. As he looked away I poured Aura into my legs and launched myself at Tyrian. As I got closer his tail straightened towards me so I would impale myself on it, that's not going to work asshole. I swung with my Longsword at the wound I inflicted last time and the instant my blade met the meat of the tail it got out of my way. With nothing in my way I rocketed into the back of his head, legs first knocking him forward.

I don't just stop, I keep going and I land a couple feet away from the Big Guy. I look back and see Qrow taking full advantage of Tyrian's stunned state.

Qrow ran past him, but grabbed his ponytail and started dragging him through the floor, damn brutal. Before I let them fight I gotta let Qrow know. "Qrow watch out he can cut clean through your Aura if he touches you with his purple Aura it's his Semblance."

I look back at my new opponent and I see him with yellow Dust crystals in his arms where his scars were and his veins were glowing yellow. Fuck, guess he's a Dust user as well. He charged at me and with every step the ground under me felt like an Earthquake was happening. As he got to me he slammed both hands down over me. I dodged out of the and kicked him in the side. It didn't even move the big guy an inch.

I back up and start using my Thread to discreetly draw my weapons. He came at me again, but this time I charged too. As he got to me he tried to grab me, but I went between his legs and got to the other side and stabbed my Longsword into the back of his right knee hoping to drop him. The good thing was that he did drop a bit, but he recovered with ease. He turned around and looked at me annoyed and again slammed both hands down onto the ground making a cloud of Dust appear.

Fuck where is he? Even though he was a mammoth of a man he was quiet as shit. I quickly did an Aura pulse and I sensed his Aura was right behind me. As I turned around his fist was coming at me like a bullet. Instead of blocking it I grabbed his fist and went with it to minimize the damage he was going to do to me, he hit me in the chest making my Aura flare, even though I took a lot of the power behind his attack away, he pretty much destroyed a quarter of my Aura with that.

Because I went with his momentum I was launched towards the other fight with all of my weapons falling out of my holsters and sheathed. I drop to the floor and clenched my chest to sooth the pain, fuck I think he broke a rib or two or five.

I get up and see Qrows fight go past me. Then I heard. "Andres, Hazel is Sheer Willpower he won't go down easy." Fucking knew this guy's name was Hazel, people on this planet aren't very creative.

So this guy is Sheer Willpower well sucks for him because I'm Sheer Willpower With a Fucking Brain.

Before I could charge Hazel again Paarthurnax speaks up. "Yes Andres you are, but you can't beat this man even if you use everything. You Need the Sword." The Sword, but it's in the Skyforge and…...

Wait...maybe just maybe it would work, but that means putting Qrow in a bad position, but we'll still lose. These guys are more skilled than me and Qrow's handicapped by having me around and I'm almost out of Aura. I need the Sword.

I look over to Qrow and see him holding Tyrian by the leg and throwing him away from him. "Qrow can you take them both? I need to go grab the Sword!" I yell out to him

He looks at me confused, but says. "Now…..dammit go get it and get back before I get killed." Hey at least he doesn't sugar coat it. Good time to grab the Sword.

I looked over to Hazel and I saw him come at me charging, he leaned forward to be more aerodynamic to get more speed to trample me. Remember they're more skilled and experienced than you, but I don't need to be stronger. I just have to be smarter, like Qrow said, make the battlefield my bitch.

I summon hundreds of Threads into the floor and make them go into the ground and start digging a bit and spreading itself out so when I tell it to do something it can. I also used some of the Thread underground to grab my weapons that lay back where they fell out of my holsters and sheaths and pointed them all at Hazel to do some damage. As Hazel was 20 feet from me I made a massive piece of the ground increased height. As Hazel got to it he was about to go over it, but all of my weapons at once attacked him in the back making him lose his footing. He tripped on the uneven ground, wow that sounds lame, but it wasn't the elevation difference was about a 1ft difference. because he was unbalanced he fell forward.

He was in the perfect position to get him out of here. In an instant I ran up to him falling and with at least 10 percent of my Aura into my right leg I kicked him so hard on the face it started to make cracking sounds as his Aura shattered, wooh big guys gonna be out of commission. I aimed my kick towards the bottom of the cliff, so Qrow won't need to deal with him for a bit. As Hazel was sent flying back down the Mountain he punched with both hands in my direction and a beam of lightning hit me. I tried to dodge, but I'm not fast enough to dodge lightning so it shattered my Aura. The worst part was my hardlight Dust ran out that every second so there was nothing to buffer the damage. For a couple of seconds my body convulsed uncontrollably, motherfucker that hurt.

After the convulsing stopped without a second thought I ran to the Skyforge to get my ultimate weapon. I ran with everything my legs could give and finally I made it to the entrance and I entered.

---

With Andres gone I need to take care of these two. I ran at Tyrian and launched an Aura Arc, he dodged to the left. The second he dodged I turned into my bird form. I flew above him to surprise attack him.

When Tyrian dodged he lost sight of me and started to look everywhere. I revert back to human form and come down on Tyrian with a spinning Sword slash. At the last millisecond he looked up at me and was about to dodge, but was too slow. He was beset by a tremendous amount of force that sent him on his knees and creating a crater where he kneeled, Tyrian's Aura flared again. Me not wasting the opportunity I kicked him upwards making his head snap back and then I placed my shotgun at his throat and fired.

In an instant his tail hit the shotgun away from his throat and kicked my feet right under me. When I fell Tyrian got up and slammed his foot on my chest. With a frightening smile he pointed his gun at me and fired.

Except it didn't, thanks Semblance. Tyrian confused and looked at his weapon to inspect what was wrong. Taking advantage of Tyrian's confusion I punch him at the side of the knee.

Tyrian yelped in pain as his leg bent a bit. I grabbed his leg and shoved it off. I grabbed my Sword and got back, but before I could get back, Tyrian's tail grabbed Harbinger and started to pull against me. I kept pulling until I was hit from the side straight in the ribs. I was sent flying luckily with my weapon. I hit a tree hard making it fall down behind me.

I get up and see an enraged Hazel coming at me with arms stabbed with red Dust crystals. He punched and a beam of fire came at me. I dodged it, but behind me appeared Tyrian. Instead of hitting me in any way he grabbed me and held me in place with a hold I had never seen before. I tried to get loose, but he just held me in a way I couldn't get out. With me defenseless Hazel shoots another fire beam at me. The beam hit me and I felt my Aura flare.

I transformed into my bird form to get out of the hold and flew away. As I look back I see Hazel grabbing Tyrian and throwing him at me. Quickly I revert to human form and aim my shotgun at Tyrian. When Tyrian was a couple feet away I shot him in the face.

Seeing Tyrian stunned from the shot I grabbed him and used all the force I could do throw him into the ground. Tyrian hit the ground so hard that a crater was formed and his Aura flared intensely. I got back down to the ground and put space between me and my opponents.

Should I go into the air, no they've adapted already it won't work again. Tyrian and Hazel attacked at the same time.

Damn, where's Andres. As they got to me I blocked both of Tyrians' blades with my Harbinger and with my other hand I caught one of Hazel's fire fist stopping it dead in Its tracks. With my whole body I tried to force them back, but they didn't budge. I kept pushing until the ground under us shook.

Shook wasn't a good enough word, the ground was rumbling like an Earthquake was happening and the whole area started to shake from it, no it didn't stop there even Whiterun felt the ground shake like a magnitude 5 Earthquake. The trees shook and fell over without discrimination the birds flew away from the danger. As all of us looked around I heard a Roar that shook me to my bones, it didn't just stop there both Tyrian and Hazel were stunned with fear. It was so loud that I'm pretty sure the people of Vale heard it. All of us stopped fighting to look where the sound came from. My eyes go wide as I turn around and see something come out of the top of Mount Helios.

A Fucking Dragon

The Dragon was made of pure black fire with Deep Red Edges climbed out of the top of the Volcano. Just looking at the beast hurt the eyes because of Its brightness and It's very presence made my decades of hardened resolve crack a bit. The beast roared once more showing It's dominance. The heat that came off of the Dragon started to make the trees around us light on fire and our Aura started to take damage. The Dragon looked up and flew up into the air and slowly dissipated. oh god I hope that was Andres or we're going to be in trouble.

---

I ran in and went for the metal rope holding my weapon in the lava and started to pull it up. I got to the rope and started lifting the cover out of the lava to get to my Sword, hopefully the weapon that's going to save me and Qrow. As I was pulling it up, Paarthurnax spoke. "Andres this is it, this is the moment that you truly become a force to be reckoned with, a small portion of my power will be within this weapon, but make no mistake this power is mine, but you control it, you govern what it does, what it destroys, and what it Kills. Before you start using it. I must warn you to use it wisely, for this power can corrupt the foolish." He said, finishing with a vague warning, no time to decrypt it.

Getting angry again to get my Semblance at full power before heading back to the fight. I say annoyed. "I am no fool Paarthurnax….will something bad happen when I use the weapon, you know like my Soul gets destroyed or it slowly kills me overtime?" I said a bit fearful because most of the time really powerful things have a price to use it.

With a huff he said. "Yes, you are no fool and no, the weapon will do nothing to you if your Will is strong enough, now time is of the essence hurry before Qrow is killed." Yeah I got to hurry. He needs me and I really don't want him to die.

As I get the cover over onto the edge I instantly pry the thing open with my bare hands to get to the weapon faster. When it snapped open I saw the Sword, I would say it was what I've been hoping for the whole time. That it was a masterfully crafted Sword with incredibly sharp edges that could split the sea if it were to hit it, but I would be lying.

I looked at it and I felt only disappointment in my skill to create weapons. The thing wasn't sharp or anything, the thing was as blunt as a baseball bat, the blade was crude and looked like it would snap at one use of it. It was everything I hoped it wouldn't be.

"While It's effectiveness is Heavily decreased it does not matter. Go before your Ally dies." He said snapping me out of thought.

I grabbed the white hot blade. The thing was that it didn't even burn me, as my fingers touched it I felt the tremendous power inside of the Sword just waiting to be used. It was so much I was sure if I used it I could destroy Mount Helios with it. The thing was I tried to transfer the power to my body, but it stayed inside the blade not moving. Damn Paarthurnax was right, I can't make it mine. As I look at it I try to make it work so I have an idea how to use it, but it didn't do anything until I thought. Come on work. Work!

And like it was told it released a massive black flame with dark red edges erupted from the blade and headed for the hole at the top of Helios. Before I knew it the flames released a roar that reminded me of the attack on Earth. As it got to the top it started to form a almost replica of Paarthurnax and once more did it roar, I felt fear course through my body from the idea of him tricking me and how I just released a part of him, but after the Dragon flew a bit in the air it dissipated into nothing, Holy shit I think I peed a bit.

Shit Qrow still needs help, I think as I snap out of my fear. I reach for my capacitor and pop a 2 in my mouth and feel the power of water fill my body. It sounds lame, but it's very useful if I can use it right, and knowing me I'll use it right. My water Dust powered Thread isn't like the rest of the Dust types. Instead of it activating to turn the Thread to water it's already water so I'm controlling Threads made of water and they have the same tangibility as normal Thread if I want.

Ready to fight I ran back to the fight and as I ran my Aura came back, holy shit is my Aura regeneration bullshit. As I get to the exit I look for Qrow and I see him getting his ass kicked. Both of the guys were teaming up on him and were giving Qrow a beat down.

"Andres, use the Sword." He said in a commanding voice.

Confused, I say. "Hold your horses, I'm not even in range." I could use my water Thread to attack them with it.

"Just do it!" He said annoyed.

So far he hasn't steered me wrong that badly so I'll do as he says. I slash horizontally and abruptly a tidal wave of black flames comes out and starts to go towards the fight. Qrow seeing the attack coming, he got outta the way quick before he could get hit. Tyrian and Hazel didn't see it and got consumed by the flame, holy shit that was awesome.

I ran towards Qrow and I saw him running into the now dissipating flames and got back to fighting Tyrian, he's got him…. I'm taking the one with no Aura, I thought happily that all I needed to do was just kill him and it's over.

I run up to Hazel and stab his chest with the Dragon Sword and unleash Its power. He screeched as his Aura shattered, what how his Aura shattered unless his Auras regenerating as fast or faster than mine. Instead of backing up he closed the space between us and tried to punch me, I dodged and hit him in the side. Which didn't happen. He was too close and before I could back up he grabbed my hand and started to punch me with his other hand.

With my water Thread I covered his head and made it go into his mouth and made a bubble of water on his head so he could start drowning. He let go, but before he did he punched me in my right shoulder dislocating it, I yelled in pain and dropped my new Sword, motherfucker that hurt.

Quickly Hazel swiped at the connection between the bubble of water and me, with it gone the water fell to the ground. Getting out of his water prison he couched out the water inside of him and then tried to punch me with his right, but I blocked it with my Shortsword then he punched with his left. I had to block that with my hand. We had a stalemate for a couple of seconds before my Shortsword started to creak and crack, slowly the crack started to spread all over the blade, Dammit. I dropped the Sword and grabbed his hand in one fell swoop.

I pushed with everything, but it didn't work. I looked at his arms and I saw he had yellow Dust crystals then they started to shine indicating they were being activated. Suddenly I started convulsing, but I stood my ground.

Wait, Dust is flowing inside of him.

could I do It, could I take away his power.

Well it's better than dying. I close my eyes ignoring the immense pain and electricity and look at our Aura and I see his Aura covered with an electric field. With no knowledge I went and grabbed it with my Aura and I felt the electrification increase, but I pulled and pulled after a good tug it came loose and I felt the lighting Dust enter my body. I open my eyes and see Hazel crystals gray out. The pain in my body doubled, it was way worse than the first time I tried Dust consumption.

Instead of focusing on the pain I fought through it and got back to fighting. Hazel looked confused that the Dust ran out, but then he looked at me.

I have Lighting and Water Dust inside me might as well make the most of it. With my water Thread I start to cover Hazel in it. With a couple of swipes he disconnected the connection, but the water was still on him. While his hands were connected to me I activated the lightning Dust, electrocuting him. Suddenly Hazel's force behind his fist decrease then his Aura shattered again for some reason. With this opportunity I draw my Longsword and slash at his right hand.

As if his fingers were made of butter the Longsword cut through all five of the fingers, but left a little bit of the thumb.

Hazel screeched in pain and tried to back up, but I didn't let him. I slashed again, but went for the body. With his other hand he started to try to block my attack. I went under the hand and cut his forearm a bit and chest all the way down the waist, it wasn't that deep, it was pretty shallow this next one won't be. Instead of a slash I stabbed. Hazel with desperation grabbed the blade trying to stop it, it didn't stop. The blade went straight into the chest near the spine and I started to force the blade towards it. I'll do to you what Adam couldn't do to me.

As I was about to kill Hazel I heard Qrow yell in pain. I turned around and saw Qrow on the ground with a massive gash above his waist, blood was flowing out like a river and Tyrian was a couple feet away from him and heading for him to finish the job.

As if my instincts controlled me I grabbed the cracked Shortsword off the ground and filled it to the brim with Aura and threw it at Tyrian, it would be given one last good use before it was gone. Tyrian at the last second saw the blade and with a cocky smile caught it with his teeth. He looked at me and smiled and was about to speak, but the Shortsword in his mouth exploded knocking away from Qrow and shattering his Aura, what h….how the fuck did I do that.

Shit got to get to Qrow before he died. I pulled the Longsword out of Hazel and straight for Qrow. Before I could get to him Tyrian came back lunging at me, seriously this guy's Aura's gone and he still wants to fight, sounds kinda like me. He slashed at me, but I dodge and counterattack.

He dodged my counter and stabbed me on my right side. I punched, but he ducked under and kicked out my legs from under me. I fell to the ground and he tried to stab me again, but I blocked it with an Aura palm. I rolled out of the way and kicked him in the chest, he skidded back with blood coming out of his mouth with a maniacal smile.

I swang at him, but he masterfully used his blade to redirect my blade and then stabbed me again with his other hand. He is hitting me a lot, but his attacks are seriously weaker than before.

Quickly I grab my right Dagger and stab at Tyrians neck to fucking end this, but at the last second he used his left hand to block the attack, in the middle of his hand was stabbed straight through and form the sound his weapon was making it was also destroyed too. Like a spider monkey he jumped over me with his hand still impaled, his hand was cut straight from the palm to the middle where the middle finger and ring finger connect, seriously what drugs is this guy taking to just ignore all that pain.

Again he stabbed again at my back shattering my Aura, dammit I can't lose, not now of all times.

Quickly I turned around, but as I did he stabbed me vertically in the left abdominal section, he didn't stop there, no he slowly picked me up with his blade making the blade go almost through my body, the only thing stopping it from going through was my Thread stopping it. The pain in my body was enormous and it was just getting worse. Inside the innards of my body Threads were struggling with holding my body up enough so the blade stopped digging further though my body.

No, I can't let this happen I need.

I

Need

To

Live

With desperation to live I grab his head. He just smiled at me manically not knowing what I was doing. Then with fury I started frying his head with all of my Lighting Dust and to stack on top of that I forced water into his mouth and nose to intensify his experience. After a couple of seconds of the full intensity of a Dust crystal unleashed on him I ran out of my Water and Lightning Dust, little did I know I unlocked a part of his mind that was sealed from him.

Still stuck on his blade I make my Thread grab my Longsword and bring it to my hand. Once in my hand I cut off his entire right arm that was holding me up. I didn't hear a single thing from Tyrian, not a sequel or a Giggle, nothing, he's dead good.

Before I hobbled over to Qrow I quickly grabbed the blade with the arm and pulled it out of my stomach. As I did, blood started to pour. The pain was so bad that I fell to the floor. The heat slowly left my body and now I was cold. Not willing to die, I slowly get back up. In an instant I start doing a patch job on my massive wound because what good am I if I die as I patch up Qrow.

As I hobbled over I hit a tree in my way on my dislocated shoulder, the hit shoved the bones to go back where they were supposed to, finally I got to Qrow and saw his wound up close. His guts were trying to leave his body, but he was using his hands to hold them in. I checked his pulse and I felt it and it wasn't strong. Then I realized that he's unconscious while holding his wound, maybe he did it out of desperation or he knew I would beat them and heal him before he died.

Fuck, fuck ok I got this I've been training to do this since the beginning. I summon my Thread and make them enter his mouth for the safest way and start to trace his intestine and guts to get the lay of the land and figure out what piece of gut goes with what because his insides were messed up beyond belief. After a second I figured this wouldn't work. Instead I closed my eyes and poured some of my little Aura that regeneration into Qrow and I spread all around inside of him and then I absorbed it back.

With the information I got to work stitching his guts together. Slowly, but surely I finished him to the best of my ability. It looked shittly done on the outside, but on the inside I did it with the most careful and cautious movement so I didn't kill him. His intestines were mangled, but now they were all stitched up and it seemed like they stopped bleeding profusely. I looked back up to look at my surroundings.

I saw Hazel grabbing Tyrian's still standing corpse and booking it into the woods, dammit he's still alive. I drew my Revolver and started firing every bullet except for one. All of the bullets hit Hazel, but he didn't even flinch and kept going until out of sight. Dammit, dammit. No they be dead soon, Tyrian already dead and Hazel practically on death's door they're done for and I can't leave Qrow or his inside will open up again without my Thread.

I pulled out my Dust capacitor and put it at 9 and I shoved it in Qrow's mouth and released the Dust. Qrow unknowingly swallowed the Dust and it started to work. It's magic, literally.

He'll live, I swear.

With Qrow done I started to stitch up my massive wound properly. I got on the floor and I did the same process as Qrow and started to stitch myself up and after I swallowed a healing Dust as well, damn I'm feeling more and more like Doflamingo.

Dammit we need to get out of here before the Grimm come. I grabbed all of my weapons with my Threads and sheath them all, the Dragon Shortsword went into the now destroyed Shortsword sheath. Carefully I grabbed Qrow and put him on my shoulder so I could fight and Hall him around.

As I was about to leave a Grimm with tentacles coming out of It's bottom came out of the woods. it was an orb with blackness and dark purple all around it, it made clicking notices that you'd expect to hear in an alien movie. It floated towards me then it spoke.

"It seems you survived, that can't do." The female voice said in a voice I can only think of as royal. Pretty much it sounded like an asshole.

"Salem?" I said guessing, hoping I was wrong.

With a laugh that sounded as fake as a sales rep she said with a formal tone. "You know of me, good. You've grown strong, you were nothing, but an Ant when you came to this planet and now you're a Roaring Lion. I would try to convince you to join my side, but those eyes of yours, they say you'll never join me. Now I can't have any loose ends around so you'll need to die before you become a thorn in my side." I looked at the orb and saw the witch. Her face would be beautiful, but it wasn't, her skin was a dead gray and around her eyes were red veils that went with the red eyes of hers.

This was the face I'll shove my blade through to save my world, this is the face of the person who commands Grimm to take hundreds of lives everyday.

With venom pouring out of my mouth I say. "I ain't dying bitch, I'll be coming for you and I'll kill you for the people of Remnant and so I can watch a horrible person like you die."

She laughed at me and said, "How Heroic you are, but what you don't understand is that Heroes never w….."

Blam…..

The orb exploded from a bullet fired from my Revolver. The thing stopped floating and dropped to the ground and disappeared like a Grimm would, I got tired of hearing a woman with a superiority complex. Knowing what she was going to say I said to myself. "Heroes never win, but Warriors do." I'll be coming for her soon, but not yet. Dammit I need to get to Whiterun before things get bad.

As I start running with Qrow I hear howls and other sounds I didn't know Grimm could make. Salem joons couldn't take me so she sent the fodder to finish the job. I started to grin and thought one thing as I started to fight for my life and Qrows against an army of Grimm coming my way.

Doesn't matter because I ain't gonna die because I can't, not yet.

Aurthor's Note

It's Whiterun, I really like Skyrim so I brought it into my story, the story that uses References as it's backbone.

So Tyrian and Hazel, obviously they ain't dead by how I described some things about them, but they will come back different.

Also this is a notice I do have a lot of things I forshadow, Even the ending. Almost everything in the story is their for a reason.

Also he finally made his Dragon Sword, part 1 of 6ish is done.
