Willpower isn't the virtue of never faltering or hesitating.

True Willpower is the virtue, the courage and spirit, to do what must be done, to finish what you started.

No matter how long it takes.


HUNTER

The silence was all that rang through the cold room, as, what a wise and powerful demigod had deemed the 'Ozluminati' in a certain fanfiction, all looked at one another. "Hunter, tell us what happened," Ozpin said slowly, and I nodded.

"I was kidnapped by Salem and her forces while I slept."

Several of the Ozluminati's eyes widened at the reveal, but they didn't interrupt and I continued to speak.

"When I came to, I was in Salem's castle, in front of the Grimm Queen herself. But we weren't alone. She had both Raven and Cinder at her sides."

A hurt wince from Qrow was the only verbal response to Raven's name.

"But that wasn't all. I'm afraid that Cinder Fall has become the Summer Maiden. Meaning that Salem now has the allegiances of both Spring and Summer."

A cold blanket of dread covered the room, as I glanced around. "So, are you saying that Cinder gave you your, now healed, wound?" Ozpin asked, but I shook my head. "No, it was something much worse, and someone stronger than even Salem. His name is-" "Azrael" I stopped cold as Ozpin spoke the Titans name, and I felt some of my blood drain from my face as flashes of the Grimm shot through my mind.

"You know him?" I asked, and Ozpin nodded.

"Unfortunately I do know of him." Ozpin continued in a grave voice, a voice filled with regret and sorrow.

"I'm afraid we haven't been telling you everything," Amber said, glancing at the others' faces. "What do you know about Azrael?" I asked, and Ozpin sighed, before looking me in the eye.

"Azrael is what we call a Titan. An evil being of immense power, with the strength to defeat all of the maidens at once. There are currently 4 Titans that walk this world." My eyes widened, "4 titans? 4 Azrael's?" I asked fear creeping into my voice, but Ozpin shook his head. "Luckily, or unluckily, Azrael is one of the stronger titans to have existed, and is one of the oldest." I gulped, at least there was a silver lining to this cloud.

"A titan isn't limited to any one species. They can be Humans, Faunus, or Grimm. There are very few requirements to becoming a Titan, but those requirements are hard to fulfill." Ozpin continued, before holding up a finger for every requirement he listed.

"1st, their might must surpass, or at bare minimum equal, that of the 4 Maidens.

2nd, they must bear the gift of Magic

3rd, their heart, and soul must be evil without doubt, ruthless and cruel, merciless and malicious, villainous in every way.

And finally, they must receive the blessing of the Brother God of Darkness and become nigh-immortal. Unaging, immune to sickness, disease, poison, and venom."

I raised my eyebrows at the last requirement, "Wait, so the Brother of Darkness is still active with Remnant? I thought he and light left long ago." Ozpin nodded, "You're mostly correct. The Brother Gods did leave us long ago, we don't know why the Brother of Darkness creates the Titans. But we do know that the titans he creates cause more devastation than the Grimm. And more often than not, they are just below the surface, waiting for a moment of weakness, to attack."

I ran a hand through my hair in slight annoyance, I needed to have a haircut.

"I never did ask. But, how did Summer Rose die?" I asked, looking around. The eyes of those who knew Summer didn't meet mine.

"Summer Rose was the Former Summer maiden, and one of the strongest Summer Maidens to ever live. Before her death at the hands of a Titan dubbed the Titan of Despair. After her death, we lost all traces of the Summer Maiden, and unfortunately, it seems that Salem and Cinder found her as a result." My eyes widened slightly at Ozpin's words.

I'd suspected that Summer had been the Summer Maiden. It did fit in with the theme of Maidens having their titles in their names. Cinder Fall, Fall Maiden, Winter Schnee, Winter Maiden. And as such, I'd always thought that they would have a massive reveal.

Surprise! Not only is Summer alive but she's the Summer Maiden!

I could definitely see it, and It seemed I had been half-right. But more importantly…

"The Titan of despair? Who's that?" I asked, and Ozpin again, sighed, "Ironically, we know more about the Titan of Death, than any other titan. So far, we only know the titles of the other 3. The Titan of Deceit, The Titan of Despair, and the Titan of Destruction. We presume that they all hold some resemblance or power related to their titles, but we are yet to confirm this." I clenched my jaw, as I thought of Summer suffering at the hands of the Titan of Despair.

What kind of sick things did that Titan do to her?

It would stand to reason that the Titan of Despair, inflicted great despair and woe upon Summer.

Likely she insulted Summer, made her feel guilty, showed Summer her worst nightmares, and the like.

It is highly possible that Summer committed suicide to escape from the Titan of Despair.

If that's the case, then I'm going to put the Titan of Despair through hell.

"But enough talk about them. This time of year is meant to be joyful and full of festivity." Ozpin said, his tone taking on a more positive form. I frowned, confused, "huh?", Qrow barked out a laugh, "You mean you don't know? It's the school dance buster, happens next week." My frown deepened as I stared at Qrow, then at Ozpin, Glynda, and Amber.

I wasn't exactly well-versed in the RWBY timeline, but I thought the prom was further away.

Huh, doesn't matter, I'm not going anyway. "We would like you to attend." Ozpin asked, and I cursed myself, "Why?" I asked, making sure that my tone made it clear that I didn't want to attend.

Why I didn't want to attend?

Well, I'd only been to one prom in my life, during primary school, and I was basically locked inside for hours on end, me an introvert locked with a bunch of loud, rowdy almost strangers, not a good experience.

It was a good thing that I had better luck remembering Anime, Book, and video game lore. Because it took me 3 years just to start and remember the names and faces of a majority of my fellow classmates.

"As an Allie, and part-time teacher at Beacon, you have helped us in a multitude of ways. However, despite that, you are still young, you should be enjoying yourself whenever you can, and bonding with the students." Ozpin said, and I scoffed, "Ozpin, I despise social get-togethers, Proms, and family reunions, I dislike social interaction in almost every form. Besides if I attend I'll probably just stay near a wall, or sneak away. I won't bond with anyone." Glynda raised an eyebrow, but said nothing, while Amber looked dishearted. "Then how about attending as a bodyguard, if nothing else? You can stand guard and watch, protect the students from harm?" Glynda asked, and I raised an eyebrow.

While I doubted that Cinder would still attempt to infiltrate the school prom, I hadn't actually been around that often. I hadn't seen Cinder, but then again she could already be in Beacon. It was an unknown.

However, if Cinder was still in beacon, then there was a good chance that she would attempt to upload the virus onto the Beacon servers. If that happened, then the fall of Beacon could still occur, even with me around. Ozpin could die, Phyrra could die, and lots of others could die as well.

And I wasn't confident in exploring necromancy until I had a safe way to either cure it or destroy it should it get out of control. I sure as hell wasn't having a walking dead rip-off occur here, or a Doom Eternal crossover.

Remnant, despite its large world and possibilities, can only provide suitable accommodation for so long. I advise you seek passage into another realm soon.

Wait, I could go to another realm?

I mentally facepalmed, of course, I could go to other realms, I had multiple options before arriving here after all, not to mention the dungeons. But why should I go to another realm?

At the rate that you are growing, you may soon become too powerful for the inhabitants of Remnant to keep up with. The Titans, despite their immense power, are limited. You however have unlimited potential. Remnant's foremost uses are drying up quickly, in fact, there are few benefits to remaining in remnant anymore. You have acquired Aura, a semblance, multiple techniques and have a good foundation of power.

I can't just leave Remnant like that. I need to kill the titans, stop Salem. You know save the world?

And achieving that goal will take far longer if you remain in this world.

Travel to another world, one where you can grow at rates you've never considered possible, and learn techniques that will leave all of Remnant helpless to your will.

A stronger world means a stronger you.

I winced.

Fine, I'll think about it. But If I'm leaving Remnant, I'm not going to leave it in danger.

Can you create a quest?

Matching your desires and goals before departure?

Certainly.

Ah okay. Also.

GOD PERK!? That's gotta be OP. Only problem is that to get it I need to kill or defeat the Brother Gods.

So Once I complete this, I leave this realm right?

Correct.

Excellent!

I nearly went to leave the room, when I realized I was still in a meeting with the Ozluminati, "I'll go as a bodyguard. Happy?" I asked, and Ozpin nodded, "Very."


I sighed in exasperation as I entered my home. I needed to do something, but what?

I stopped as I saw the Blueprints laying flat on one of my workbenches, the words still random and unreadable, but seeing it, something clicked in my head.

If I made something using my Ether perk, then I should get the Ethersmith Perk, right?

Correct

A grin grew on my face, as I rushed over to a nearby pile of trash and broken parts. Quickly I rummaged through them until I came across an old and broken mecha-shift katana. Without hesitation, I grabbed it and ran over to another table, placing the weapon on the bench, I took a deep breath, before with a nod, I got to work on my first Ether-shift weapon.

I yelled in excitement, pumping my right fist into the air in victory. "Finally! I've got it!" I bounced up and down, before turning around and seeing Ruby jumping around in excitement behind me.

"AAAHHHH!" I screamed in shock and surprise. (Think of Eggman's shout of surprise when he realized Dr. Stone was watching him dance. That's how I screamed)

"AAAHHHH!" Ruby screamed in shock and surprise.

I shook my head as I looked at Ruby, "What are you doing here?", Ruby shrugged, "I was looking for something exciting. And I found you! Awesome right?!" I deadpanned, "Knock next time and… were you going to brain me?" I said the last part in disbelief as I spotted Crescent Rose in its Scythe form in her right hand. Ruby's eyes widened, and she had the decency to attempt to hide the massive weapon behind her back. "Maybe…?" She said awkwardly, a light blush forming on her cheeks.

Oh, she's blushing. Something embarrassing is on her mind! Ah, wait, she was going to kill me. That's probably it. I sighed, "What is it, Ruby? I've got important stuff going on right now." My voice snapped Ruby back to reality, and she shook her head, before pointing to the batmobile, "Is that your car? Cause it looks Awesome!" I nodded, "Well, yeah it is. I built it myself, just haven't gotten around to a fuel source yet…" I trailed off as I realized something. I could use Ether as a Fuel source. Rushing past Ruby, who spun like a top and yelped, I once again began to rummage through the junk pile, eventually coming across a Dust converter. A device that would turn Dust into Fuel for vehicles. Picking it up, I returned to the desk on which I'd just been working, putting it down, I opened the interior of the engine and looked through it.

Ah, there.

Swapping a couple of the engine parts with custom-made ones, I worked for what felt like seconds. Probably because it was.

"Done!" I said, turning around to see Blake next to Ruby.

"A-"


"So what's that do?" Blake asked as I finished the implant into the Batmobile. With a nod, I turned around to look at the cat Faunus, "Well, it converts my unique Aura into Fuel. So not only does it run on Aura, but my Aura and my Aura alone." Blakes's eyes widened, "That's… Incredible. I didn't know such a thing was possible." I shrugged, "Yeah. I do amaze myself sometimes." My gaze then shifted to Ruby, who was looking at my Ether-Shift Katana. "Woah there!" I said as I snatched the weapon away from her. Making the girl pout. "Why'd you do that Hunter?" Ruby asked, and I sighed as I put the Katana into my inventory, "I don't know how this Katana will work, it could react violently, and I can't risk hurting you." Again, Ruby blushed, and I turned my attention to Blake, "Either of you." Blake joined the Blushfest but added a purr as she did.

Hahaha, this is easy.

"Hunter. I was wondering. Are you going to the Prom?" Ruby asked, and I returned my attention to her, tilting my head I said, "Kind of. I'm just going as a guard for the event but-" "Can you be my date?" Ruby blurted out, her face as red as a tomato. I could only stare at her in surprise. I glanced at Blake, who was clearly jealous, and then back at Ruby.

If I say yes to Ruby, Blake will be jealous, and I won't be able to accept any other requests. As well, I'll have to find a Tux. On the other hand, If I reject Ruby, and accept Blake or Yang, then she could be bitter.

Fuck I take it back, this is not easy.

I scratched the back of my neck, "Uhh, sure I guess? Just don't expect dancing. I don't dance." I said, making Ruby smile with a face worth a thousand diamonds. (not Minecraft diamonds, those things are fucking priceless) "Yay! Take that Yang!" Ruby shouted with a jump, I blinked frowning, "Yang? What's she got to do with this?" I asked, and Ruby stopped. "Uhh. She kinda dared me to see who could get a date with you first. But I win!" I groaned shaking my head. "Ruby, I don't think she meant a School Formal Date." Ruby stopped, "Huh?", "I think she meant an actual date. You know, kissing and all that?' Ruby's eyes widened and the blush returned in full force. It was cute actually. But more importantly, how and why the fuck didn't Ruby know this?

You do know that this means that both Yang, and Ruby like you. Likely Blake as well.

I nodded, Yeah I knew. But now, I had a plan. "Okay, Ruby. Do you have any idea as to where Yang could be right now?" Ruby blinked, and shrugged, "I guess she could be riding Bumblebee around Vale right now." I nodded and summoned my car keys to my hand. "Okay then. Ruby, Blake, thanks for coming. But I've gotta go looking for Yang." Blake frowned, "Why?" I tilted my head at the cat Faunus and raised an eyebrow, "Well, a little birdie told me you guys have class later today with me." Both of the girl's eyes widened, and I grinned. "So you should be getting back to Beacon right now. But first…" I turned around and summoned 2 items I had made for them. "These are for you." Both of the girl's eyes widened and blushed sprouted on their faces as I gave them the jewel boxes. "What are these?" Blake asked, as she opened hers and gasped as it revealed a silver ring, while Ruby opened her own and it revealed a pair of grey earrings. "They're jewelry, made from some very expensive materials I found a while back. Don't lose them okay?" I asked, and both of them nodded, while I smiled and waved as they left.

Why did you do that?

I did some thinking, and the chances of me getting or finding miraculous jewels are rather sizeable. So by giving team RWBY jewelry that matches the disguised forms of the Miraculous, should I get the Chinese Miraculous Box, I can swap them out for the Miraculous, and basically make a Sub-Plot for myself.

Besides, It was nice wasn't it?

Yeah, Yeah.

I shrugged as I turned to the Batmobile, but glanced at the blueprints. Sighing, I walked over to it and returned it to my inventory, before entering the Batmobile.

Taking a deep breath, I placed my hands on the wheel and pushed some of my Ether into it, the effect was instant. As the engine roared to life, I quickly checked that all of the weapons were operational, and they were. And If I was right, I could give them extra punch by fueling them with my Ether. Oh, this was good.


YANG XIAO-LONG

"Shit shit shit!" Yang yelled in panic as she ran from the thugs that were chasing her. "Come on little girl! We ain't gonna hurt ya!" One yelled before another shouted, "Yeah, we just wanna Kill ya!"

It was her own fault really, picking fights with random bars in attempts to find her mother. But it was costing her now, she was out of rounds and nearly out of Aura.

Just need to find Bumblebee, then I can escape. Hopefully.

Turning a corner, Yang's eyes widened as she ran right into the waiting arms of another Thug. "Gotcha!" He yelled. "No! Let me go!" Yang yelled as she struggled to get out of the thug's arms, but failed. The Thug then turned her around to face the other 2, who were both laughing, "This is going to be-" the Thug didn't even get another word out, because it was then that a pair of headlights turned on, illuminating them all accompanied by the revving of an engine. Yang turned her head, and her eyes widened as she saw a completely black, fucking AWESOME car there. "Holy shit…" She muttered when suddenly fucking missile launchers sprouted from the front of the car and were aimed straight at them. "Put the Girl down, and no one gets hurt." A scrambled voice said from within the car. After 5 seconds of silence, the voice sighed, and the missiles were launched straight at them. The Thug holding Yang barely had time to shove her away before he was met with a face full of metal and flame. The Car then spun around and drove next to her in one action, "Get in" The voice said, and Yang happily obliged.


HUNTER

"Get in" I ordered, and Yang quickly did so. Opening the Bat-mobiles door, she sat down on the chair next to me and quickly strapped in, before looking at me and her eyes widened further. "Hey" I greeted with a nod, before revving the Bat-Mobile and taking off at speeds that would've given a cheetah a heart attack. Once we were on the open road, Yang finally spoke, "Wait this is your car?!" I chuckled and spared her a glance, "Sure as hell is. Built her myself too" I wasn't looking at Yang, but I could practically feel her smile, which quickly got wider when I told her something else, "And don't worry about Bumblebee, I got as much of him as I could find and stored him in the trunk." It seemed that Yang was happier about getting to keep Bumblebee than she was about losing the loyal vehicle.

Hmm, If I could get my hands on transformer Bumblebee, I could definitely give him to her.

"So what's he got?" Yang asked as she ran her hands against the Bat-Mobiles dash. I chuckled, "I'm not really that much of a vehicle person, but the Bat-Mobile is the exception to that rule." Yang gasped slightly at my words, "Not a Vehicle guy? But this car's awesome! And you just said you made it." I nodded, "Yes Yang, you're right. But If you had listened, you would've realized I said that the Bat-Mobile is the exception to that. Now I'm going to be completely honest, the Bat-Mobiles shell wasn't me, but someone else, who I don't know. But I did build its interior, so I know how it works. Ask anything about this Car and I'll know the answer" Yang hummed, "What kind of fuel does it use?" "My Unique Aura, using a modified Dust converter." "How fast can it go?" "Around the speed of sound If I pump enough Aura into it." "How many weapons does it got?" "You've already seen the missiles, but It's also got a machine gun, grappling hooks, spiked tires, bomb launcher, grenade launcher, and a lot of explosives. Oh and this" As I said the last part I pressed a button on the dash which made a giant round saw sprout from the front of the Bat-mobile with its blades to the side so it didn't rip up the ground as we moved. I pressed the button again and the Blade vanished, "Woah! This is one hell of a vehicle. What'd you call it again?" Yang asked in excitement, I chuckled, "The Bat-Mobile." Yang laughed in response, "The Bat-Mobile? Why'd you call it that?'

Because it's the fucking name of the vehicle Yang, and it looks like a bat?

"Uh, it looks like a bat?" I said awkwardly which only made Yang laugh harder. But she eventually stopped, "Thanks man, for what you did back there. Saving my ass, and Bumblebees parts." She was clearly unhappy about Bumblebee's destruction since the last part was pained. I shrugged, "It's fine. I'd gladly save you, or Bumblebee for as many times as it takes for you to get stronger." I glanced at Yang again and saw her blushing.

You're doing this on purpose.

So what? I mean it, that's important.

We drove the rest of the trip in silence until I pulled up at Beacon's gate after showcasing the Bat-Mobile Aquatic mode and giving Yang a heart attack. "Yelp, here we are. Beacon." Yang smiled slightly as she got out, but then I got out as well. "Why are you getting out?" Yang asked, and I shrugged, "Teaching your class. Duh." I then grinned, "And I got something special for today…" Yang shivered, dreading what was to come.


Quick question. Can the people of remnant learn techniques or skills from other worlds?

Depends on the technique or skill. They can learn some things, but cannot learn others without a specific trait. For example, they cannot learn magic sense without magic.

I clapped my hands to get the attention of the class, in which I succeeded. "Okay class, I bet you're wondering what is for today's lesson. Correct?" The class all nodded, and I grinned, "Well fear not, for today, I will be attempting to teach you a technique long forgotten. Spinjitzu!" As I shouted the last word I activated my wind Spinjitzu, which appeared a ghostly green in color. As I stopped, I could hear gasps and awe from the class, but I held up a finger. "The key word is try students. I cannot be certain if you all can learn this technique, but I will try. Don't be discouraged if it doesn't work the first time. It can take time to learn this." The class all nodded, and I then leveled a glare at Cardin, "And you will not use it for evil. This technique is essentially a 2nd semblance, so I expect you all to treat it as such." Cardin gulped and nodded, and I sighed. "Good. Now then, follow me." turning around I walked off.

Eventually, we arrived at the obstacle course that I had created. Which was almost an exact replica of the one from Ninjago's monastery. Except there were 5 of them instead of 1, but apart from that they were the exact same. "What are these?" Weiss asked, I then gestured to them, "They're the best way to learn Spinjitzu to my knowledge, or at least the first step in learning it. I only had time to make 5 of them, but it should be enough. Today 5 of you will undergo the course, then tomorrow another 5 may go once you understand it." Ruby chuckled, "That looks easy" I raised an eyebrow, "That's not the point. The point is to complete it before I finish my tea, without Semblances, all you get is your physical skills and a wooden sword." I leaped over to a spot where I could see every course, and was visible from every course. I pulled out a box of names, and pulled five out, calling them as I read them. " Jaune you're obstacle course 1." Jaune gulped but headed to his obstacle course anyway. "Ruby, obstacle course 2, Blake course 3, Weiss course 4, and Dove Course 5." (I put the names on a wheel of names. That's how I chose.) Once everyone was in position, I continued. "I remind you. You cannot use your semblances to complete or assist in this course. The only weapon you may use is the wooden sword you find on the ground next to you, touch the ground and you fail. There may be no smart-assing, no loopholes. If I do not judge that you completed this course you did not complete the course." I didn't even tell them to begin as I reached for the pot of tea.

I groaned as I watched Jaune get knocked to the ground by the first obstacle.

"Fail!"

I sighed as Blake was whacked away by the punching bag.

"Fail!"

And on it went, again they attempted to complete the course. And again, and again they failed. Soon the sounds of grunts, blows, and my voice calling out the word "Fail" became constant.

I looked up as the sun began to set, and sighed as I stood up. "That's enough for today. Another 5 will try tomorrow." Without another word, I turned around and drove off in my Bat-Mobile.


Greetings!

*Catches a flying truck*

Well, that's rude. Listen guys I'm sorry for taking so long to update this story, I was just working on other stories and reading other stories. So I sincerely apologize, and I will try to make sure this doesn't happen again.

On the other hand, I think I did well with this chapter. And we are getting closer to chapter 15, where Hunter will summon the winner of the pole. (Likely corrin at this point)

The Bat-Mobile was a suggestion for a Gacha Token by a reader, which is why Hunter now has it. So if you have other suggestions for Gacha tokens feel free to review them, or PM me.

I hope to see you all again soon!
