Of course Guts is always a struggler… M for Berserk (RubyXGutsXCasca) Rewrite in progress!

4. Black and White, Good Vs Evil

Rwby: of Guts and Blood: Chapter 4: Black and White, Good vs Evil.

Chapter start

[Aftermath of Guts vs Ruby.]

In the Days after the events of Guts and Ruby's epic battle. Everyone saw the 15 year old in a new light.

Much like how many treated Pyrrha before, The students worshiped the ground she walked on.

Even some teachers too but they kept themselves more professional

mostly.

Which was good as Ruby didn't want to be treated differently

Something that she was finding harder and harder to avoid as of late.

Where as before Ruby could walk up to anyone and strike up or try to strike a conversation normally ( with as normal as her Social anxiety could allow)

Now everyone was much more clamped up when they just saw her.

Much less when she tried to talk to them.

It was almost enough to drive her insane.

Fortunately she had her team with her for support who didn't teat them differently,

So long as she didnt go easy on them in training.

However there were some positives from the fight

One Pyrrha apologized to Ruby for trying to separate Guts and Ruby before. She felt Guilty at how Greedy she had gotten and her position had gotten to her head.

However with the match she understood how outclassed Ruby and Guts were compared to her.

Still while Pyrrha didn't try to take Guts from Ruby anymore, they still held a friendly rivalry.

Pyrrha was practically one of the only people who Ruby would actually use her Semblance against in combat class.

Of course that was after the repairs were finished.

And of course the new rule forever Barred Ruby Rose from Fighting Guts in the combat arena.

Next time they chose to fight each other they'd have to go outside to do it.

Speaking of Guts and Ruby.

The end of the battle and the reveal of Ruby's feelings for Guts. Had changed their relationship quite drastically. In the following days.

While both were rushed to the medical wing for being Aura Exhausted as well as physically.

They both happened to lay down next to each other's beds.

And thus they started conversing.

"Hey Ruby?"

"Yes?"

"Even with all you know about me? Do you still love me?"

Ruby sighed "of course dummy."

Guts sighed

"You then need to know what you saw from the beast if Darkness wasn't the worst." Guts said

"Wasn't the worst?" Ruby asked

"No…my past is something that I have come to terms with on my own." Guts said

"That's…not healthy…" Ruby said

Guts scoffed "it worked." Guts said

"Yeah but at what cost." Ruby said

Guts didn't respond thinking of that exact question

'At what cost indeed?' Guts thought as he raised his left hand now bandaged

'Obviously Casca, the band of the hawk, We'll…everything' Guts thought.

"Look I understand that you have some trauma associated with your past. Especially with that I saw. But I promise no matter what I won't abandon you." Ruby said

"It's not the fact you willfully abandon me…but more of the fact you have no choice. After all, you remember initiation." Guts said

Ruby paused.

"What were they?" She asked

"In my world they were called Apostles, humans who gave up their humanity for extra power. They were my world's version of the Grimm here. And they hunted me just as I hunted them." Guts said

"Why?" Ruby asked

Guts scoffed "because I had no choice… they wouldn't let me go. In my old world…or here." Guts said

"Who was that woman I saw during the black sun?" Ruby asked

"…her name…was Casca…she was the second in Command Of the Band of the Hawk. A mercenary band I used to follow in my younger days. Before everything went to shit." Guts said

Eventually things progressed forward where we began friends. And eventually." Guts said stopping

"Lovers?" Ruby asked

Guts only nodded

"What happened to her?" She asked

"I honestly don't know…" Guts said sadly.

Finally he turned to Ruby "how are you feeling anyway?" He asked

"Sore, in pain…slightly horny, mostly just tired." Ruby said

"Horny really?" Guts asked

Ruby blushed as she turned away

"Shut up." She hissed

Guts said nothing and just laid there.

She sighed before going on to explain

"My mother was considered a nymphomaniac. Something she passed down to me. Ever sense the age of 8 I knew what sex was and had to constantly masturbate to keep myself in focus.

It was hell and it only got worse when I unlocked my semblance.

It turns out my semblance had linked itself to my body in all forms which was speed. Including my libido Meaning whenever I activated my semblance my libido would shoot up until I gave myself an orgasm to calm down.

Me and my family were worried if I ever got out of control I'd be a terror on legs fucking anything I see in a desperate quest to give myself relief.

Consentual or not I'd fuck them. And to be fair I knew it was a risk. Before the battle. I'd not be able to go a day without an orgasm and if I was a week past. I'd be screaming and begging." Ruby said

"But?" Guts asked

"But you helped me." Ruby said with a smile.

"Due to your situation you made me push my semblance to the max. Eventually I did what you asked me to do the second day here." Ruby said

"You flew." Guts said

Ruby nodded "my libido is no longer connected to my semblance, I can run forever and no longer worry about getting horny from it. However, that still means I can't pleasure myself. If I try to masturbate with my hands and I activate my semblance I'll be unable to cum until my body fully calms down from the edge.

And I'm still a nymphomaniac as well that didn't change. I'm just not hyper hyper sexual due to my Semblance." Ruby explained.

Guts nodded "well it seems we both got trouble's to deal with." Guts said

Ruby nodded "Indeed. But we can solve them together." Ruby said with a smile as she reached out her hand across the bed.

Guts smiled "together." As he grabbed her hand.

Ruby sighed "and just know…if we ever find Casca Again I'll drop everything we've had to let you be with her." Ruby said

Guts froze "Ruby." He started

Ruby cut him off

"No no. This is a promise to me. At least. I will not interfere with the life you had. The life you deserved to have. I'm just here to show you that you in fact do deserve it." She said

Guts smiled "ok…seeing as I can't convince you I'll accept it." He said

Ruby nodded

"Good. Talk tomorrow Guts." Ruby said as she broke contact with Gut's hand.

"So Ruby?" Guts asked

"Yes, Guts?" Ruby asked

"Does this make us boyfriend and girlfriend?" Guts asked

Ruby smiled "I'd like that at least." She said

Guts didn't say a word but Ruby did hear him mutter after a bit

"I'd like that too."

As both teens went to sleep.

The next day they woke up to nurses over there bedside talking frantically

Guts groaned "what is it?" Guts asked

The nurses who were talking to each other jumped and spun around to Guts

"Sir! Um it's just that…with your injuries you looked like you were going to have to stay here for at least a week." One said

"Looked like? What's it looking like now?" Guts asked

"Well…I'm not sure how this is possible but apparently…your in a clear bill of health." The nurse said

Guts looked over to Ruby

"What about Ms Rose?" Guts asked

"See we have an explanation for that. Due to her semblance she has, she heals faster. So she is also allowed to go." The nurse said

Guts nodded as he looked over to Ruby who was still asleep.

Finally at noon Ruby was woken up

They were given a meal by the staff before they checked out.

Guts and Ruby walked down the hall fortunately it was the Weekend so many students were off campus for relaxing in their dorms so they were not spotted from their stroll.

Ruby clung to Guts still feeling like her legs were like jelly but refused to let Guts carry her

Guts admired her tenacity. As they moved to their Dorms which were next to each other and across from JNPR's dorm.

Ruby tilted her head "wait…we're we always like this?" Ruby asked

"You didn't know?" Guts asked

Ruby shook her head

"FINALLY!?" A roar could be heard from the Dorm room

Yang kicked the door off its hinges her semblance activated as she stomped forward towards Guts

However she didn't throw a punch at Guts but rather pointed Harshly at Guts

"After what you pulled yesterday! Your lucky I don't beat you to a bloody pulp here and now! You nearly killed Ruby! You have no control over yourself! Why should I let you anywhere near Ruby ever again Huh? Answer me?!" Yang roared

Guts noticed Blake and Weiss looked out of the dorm at the three.

Suddenly both Blake and Weiss looked in awe as the iconic sound of a weapon opening up was heard

Yang looked down and noticed Crescent Rose was leveled at her neck.

"Listen Yang. Guts wasn't in control for the latter half of the battle; he had no say as to what went on. He's better now and is sorry. So please don't threaten my boyfriend! Ruby hissed

Yangs anger died down instantly at hearing the word boyfriend.

"Boyfriend?! Eeeek!" Yang cheered as she grabbed Ruby into a hug and spun her around into a hug before she dragged Ruby into the dorm and closed the door before Ruby could say Goodbye to Guts

Guts let out a chuckle at the light hearted nature of the sisters. As he made his way to his dorm.

However he couldn't help but look back and think.

'That's the second time Yang went off. I think I'm going to deal with her next. Seeing as I have nothing left to teach Ruby.' Guts thought as he walked into his room.

Guts stripped off his armor and laid it on the desk as he got into pajamas the only clothes he had which frankly were from the Beacon School store but still it was clothing.

Guts laid on his bed catching up on some Readings Ozpin had him do. On current events.

Well currently events comparatively

He was reading about the Great War.

Guts shook his head thinking about the tactics used in the battles.

And of course the major legendary events.

Like the Desert crossing of Vacuole from the last King of Vale.

After a while he finished the reading and was planning to get some Supper either alone or With Ruby

Suddenly there was a knock on his door.

"Come in." Guts said

Guts looked over and saw Yang peek in

"Can I come in?" She asked looking past the door.

Guts nodded

Yang stepped in and shut the door.

"Can we talk?" She asked

Guts looked at her surprised but complied by putting his scroll away.

Yang sighed

"Look. I've been shitty to you. I've never given you the benefit of the doubt with your actions. I mean you've trained Ruby to be the best huntsman in the school. And even allowed us to grow and that should count for something." Yang said

Before she looked at her lap.

"But immediately after I heard you I stormed out at you and threatened violence on you. Against someone who could crush me like a bug in a second." Yang said

"Are you asking why I didn't?" Guts asked

"I mean it's not like I didn't deserve it." Yang said

Guts sighed as he sat up and patted the bed

"Come on, join me." He said

Yang sighed and stood up from the chair at the Desk and joined Guts on his bed.

Guts sighed "I didn't attack you for blaming me because I'd be a hypocrite. And two you weren't wrong by your acquisition.

I am dangerous. I'm quick to anger. I attack in a blind rage. And I'm a potential danger to my allies. Sound familiar?" Guts asked

Yang looked at Guts in awe and shock

Guts nodded "that right Yang. You and me are basically cut from the same cloth. And while Ruby has my raw talent and skills. You however have something equally good and bad. My rage." Guts said

"My semblance." Yang said

"Yes. As I said before it's both a blessing and a curse." Guts said

"But I'm willing to help you control it. If you'll let me." Guts said

Yang flinched back.

"Like as an apprentice? But I thought Ruby was…" Yang asked

Guts shrugged "there's not much I can teach Her now. However You, Weiss and Blake still have plenty of room to Grow.

Don't forget you 3 were the only ones to Beat the Headmaster of Signal along with Ruby which means like Ruby you have the potential to reach the same point she's at. The only reason she's first is because of her semblance."

"And her skills from signal." Yang said

"Even then it's mostly because of her semblance that she was able to learn so fast." Guts said before he put his hand on Yangs shoulder

"But you have the same potential. After all, at my lowest point I only had what you had and I climbed myself higher to be where I am now. So you can get to the point with Me and Ruby. And my hope by the time you leave for Summer you'll be there." Guts said

Yang looked shocked "really a year that's a bit soon don't you think?" Yang asked

Guts shrugged "not really. After all most of you have the skills it's only just thinking about it a different way or considering a tactic you never thought of to just bump you up just a little bit higher." Guts said

"And once you figure that out and keep using that all the time you will be at equal strength as Ruby. After all All four of you know the ins and outs of each other's fighting style's." Guts said

Yang nodded, realizing he was right.

"So are you willing to allow me to help you?" Guts Asked

Yang nodded eagerly "yes…and…thank you… I wanted to talk to you about this anyway because ironically that was my major fear." Yang said

Guts smiled

"You have a good heart Yang. And I will do whatever I can to help you progress." Guts said

Yang nodded "thanks Guts…I should go get ready for bed. Oh that reminds me. Tomorrow Weiss wanted to go check out Vale's docks and Ruby was wondering if you'd be willing to join us?" Yang asked

Guts smiled "I'd be happy to come along." Guts said

Yang nodded "very well I'll tell The others to expect you and we will wait for you at the air dock so we can explore the city together." Yang said

Guts nodded.

"Thanks Yang Good night." Guts said

Yang nodded and left the room leaving Guts alone.

Guts sighed as he got ready for bed

Only to hear his scroll vibrate from the bed

Guts picked it up and looked at the message

It was from Ozpin.

'I know your getting ready for bed but I must ask you come talk to me in my office I'm sorry it can not wait.'

Guts sighed as he turned to the door and headed up to Ozpin's office.

As Guts entered Ozpin's office he noticed the headmaster once again looking out the window.

However his coffee wasn't in his hands,

His cane was.

Ozpin was ready for a fight.

"Hello Guts." Ozpin said tensely as he looked around

He noticed Ozpin, Himself and Glynda in this room.

Both beacon Teachers had there primarily weapons in hand

And Guts had left his downstairs.

"Hello Ozpin." Guts said equally tense.

"…please sit." Ozpin said

Guts stepped forward and sat down reaching for his belt where his dagger was

Ozpin raised an eyebrow and raised his cane just incase Guts was about to attack him as was Glynda

Guts slowly raised his free hand to show he wasn't going to do anything rash as he slowly drew the dagger and put it on the desk the handle facing Ozpin as he slid it over to him.

Guts was now fully disarmed

Well aside from the hand cannon.

Ozpin sighed and relaxed

"Judging by the atmosphere you understand why we are calling you here right?" He asked

Guts nodded

"I will ask you the same question I asked you before. Judging by how prone to violence you are. Why should I accept you let alone keep you at my school?" Ozpin asked

Guts leaned back and answered coldly as if it was fact

"You shouldn't." He said

Ozpin and Glynda glanced at each other before asking

"Are you a threat to this school?"

"You both know the answer to that." Guts said

"If we were to keep you on hand. Is there a risk that you could by any far margin lose control of yourself, would you be a threat to the students?" Ozpin asked

"…Most definitely." Guts said

Ozpin sighed sadly

"I see…Guts it pains me to say this but unfortunately we're-." Ozpin started but was cut off by the ding of the elevator.

Ozpin and Glynda looked at each other and looked at a scroll which showed who knew what

But apparently it shocked Ozpin enough to keep Ozpin from finishing the sentence.

Suddenly the elevator ding again

"Enter." Ozpin said

Guts heard the door open and a single figure step out in combat boots from What's Guts heard

"Ms Rose, what can we do for you tonight?"

Guts turned around to see Ruby standing in the middle of the room.

"I've come to be Guts' defendant to request he remains here at Beacon academy." Ruby said

The air was tense as both teachers looked at each other.

"Very well, let us hear your arguments." Ozpin said

Ruby laid the events of what occurred during the battle flat out.

Guts confirmed with the truth of his story something that Ozpin knew of or at least most of it.

However the lost children and Tower of Conviction were events new to Ozpin and made both of the teachers nearly spill their dinners.

However in the end Ruby was convincing enough to say that Guts wasn't of sound Mind and several appointments to therapy would have a resounding impact on Guts and the risk of a threat from Guts to the school would practically disappear entirely.

Ozpin and Glynda looked at each other then to Guts

"What do you think, Guts?" Ozpin asked

Guts shrugged

"I mean it's not that bad of an idea. I'm willing to try it." Guts said

Ozpin and Glynda looked at each other

"I'll give Professor Peach a call." Glynda said as she left.

Ozpin announced to Guts his determination

"As of now until a to be determined date is set Guts you are no longer allowed to be allowed to Spar with normal students during combat class. People who want to face you will have to sign a special slip to be allowed to fight you. Your name will be taken out of standard rotation for combat class and if you are seen facing a student not on the list. You will be kicked off of Campus immediately, do you understand?" Ozpin asked

Guts nodded "yes Headmaster. And I must say this is much better of a situation than I expected to have." Guts said

"Oh another thing. You will have to make mandatory scheduled appointments with Professor peach our guidances council once a week until she has determined you are under control. If you fail to make a schedule once per week you will be put on probation and will not be able to face anyone for that week. If you are caught facing anyone even if they are on the list. You will be kicked from Beacon. Understand?" Ozpin asked

Guts nodded "yes Sir." Guts said

"Last thing. You are no longer allowed to compete in the Vytal Festival tournament. I am sorry." Ozpin said

Guts shrugged "I highly doubted I would be allowed to compete anyways, I am a solo team, I was already prepared for that news."

Ozpin nodded "very well professor peach will get in contact with you soon. Have a good night you two." Ozpin said as he turned around and headed to the elevator

"Oh. And congratulations. I have a feeling you have a long prosperous life ahead of both of you." Ozpin said with a smile as the Elevator closed on them.

Ruby and Guts looked at each other

"That was strange wasn't it?" Guts asked

Ruby shrugged "Ozpin is always eccentric." She said as she left the elevator "night Guts see you tomorrow." Ruby said

"See you tomorrow Ruby." Guts said

Ruby poked her head out of her dorm

"Oh one last thing you better be in vale tomorrow. I'm cashing in my Favor then." Ruby said as she disappeared through the door

"Great." Guts said as he rolled his eyes. He flopped on the bed and went to sleep.

The next day Guts woke up and saw a message from his scroll

"Hey sorry about last night. I gave Yang a stern talking to about what happened but she said you already spoke about it…thanks. Yang is a great sister but she's overwhelming at times. Anyways we are at Vale I'm sorry we didn't wait for you but apparently Weiss got impatient. (First for me too I know) tell me when you get here and we can try to find a place to locate each other." From Ruby

Guts sighed and laid back down he checked the time 10:07 Guts got dressed and headed to Vale.

He got there and it was his first time actually entering the city. When Qrow brought him to Beacon they took a direct airlift to it and passed by the city all together he got a good look at the city from the sky but being here it's different.

"Huh looks a lot like what Rickert described of Falconia." Guts said to himself. As he walked down the road to explore.

He got to a spot and noticed police tape and a few officers filling out paperwork.

"Yeah yeah come on Joel, let's get this paperwork done so we can grab another cup of joe." The first cop said

"What happened here?" Guts asked

"Oh well look if it isn't Mr vigilante here. Listen we don't have time to explain every minute detail of our lives, like we did to those 4 girls earlier." The cop named Joel said

"You know I think they were huntsman." The other cop said

"Huntsman!? please they were being lead by a 15 year old either they were skipping class from Signal or something else I believe." Joel said

"Do you have any idea where they went?" Guts asked

"No now go away!" Joel said however his buddy nodded "yeah they headed back down main streets and after a stowaway monkey faunas."

Guts nodded and took his leave.

He walked until he found an alleyway with roof access and climbed up he would have an easier time looking for Ruby and the others from here.

After a bit he found. The team arguing about something or at least Blake and Weiss were ranting to each other about something when he approached.

"Hey what's up?" Guts asked

Blake and Weiss were to busy arguing but Ruby and Yang waved to him

"Not much Blake and Weiss are talking about fanuas rights and how the White Fang are more victims than terrorists." Yang explained.

"True if your talking about them 10 years ago however once the founder stepped down it's clear as day that the white fang went off the deep end." Guts said

"And who are you?" A girl with black and green pants. And a white shirt asked from behind Guts turned around and looked at her.

"Names Guts." He said

"Are you a firend of Ruby's?" The girl asked

"Yes Penny, yes he is." Ruby said

"Friend Ruby your heart rate has increased drastically are you alright I have noticed it occurred when your around friend Guts-." Penny said while Ruby was waving at her frantically to shut up.

Guts smiled and noticed that Blake and Weiss were still ranting. Hey want to go get something to eat I kinda just woke up so I'm kinda hungry." Guts said

Just then his stomach growled to confirm that story.

"I think you and Ruby should go ahead I'll stay with these two and make sure they stay safe." Yang said

"Yes I must be getting going as well it was nice to meet you all firends. So many in one day!" Penny said as she jumped for joy before running down an alleyway.

"Well she's…something…" Guts said

"Yep but she's a good firend." Ruby said before her stomach rumbled.

"Wow that's loud! I heard it from here." Yang teased

Ruby spun around blushing like a tomato "YANG!"

Yang laughed " kidding you two go get food. And remember don't do anything I wouldn't do!" Yang said

Ruby blushed harder at the implication but then smiled and went to tease her back "you mean bust into a nightclub pop the bartender's jewels and do more property damage than a horde of charging Grimm?" Ruby asked for clarification

However Yang didn't take the bait and brushed her off "Hey it's the thought that counts." She said

Ruby rolled her eyes and joined Guts and leaned onto him. "So where are we getting our food mister?" Ruby asked

Guts smiled. "Well that depends How about anywhere you want my lady?" Guts said

Ruby pulled away and lightly smacked his arm "now your just covering for yourself. Remember this is my favor I'm calling in." She said

Guts shrugged "guilty…however in my defense this is the first time I've actually been to Vale." Guts said

"You can explain later than tell me how do you feel about noodles?" Ruby asked

Guts raised an eyebrow but waved her to go ahead

They ended up at a small shop called A Simple Wok.

Guts and Ruby sat down across from each other in a wooden booth the floor was dead quiet however Ruby could hear yelling in the kitchen apparently there was s game or something on and a betting pool was set.

"Not the best choice you made for a first date setting Ruby." She muttered to herself.

Guts tilted his head but didn't comment. There orders were two of the basic bowls. The owner nodded and headed off to make the meals

"So tell me. I know your past story. But How did you get yourself into Beacon?" Ruby asked

"Well funny thing I found myself awoken in the snow in the forest. And a man rescued me." Guts said

"Ok ok so you happen to have been rescued by my uncle Qrow. And after impressing him with your combat skills he brought you here. Ok the one question is… how the fuck did you end up on patch Naked with only your cloak in the middle of a Grimm forest?" Ruby asked

Guts…had to answer to that. He couldn't tell her everything about his past life. Heck her uncle barely believed it. And Ozpin only slightly believed it there was no way Guts could mention the Godhand, but Ruby already knew of Casca, and the band of the Hawk to Ruby. But how would be the best way to describe it.

Yes Ruby knew of the eclipse but he kept it vague. Best to keep the Godhand a secret until absolutely necessary as far as Ruby was concerned Apostles were just Grimm with human origins. He didn't have to mention they worked for a higher power.

Instead he just shrugged "let's call it a drunken night out." Guts said hoping his smile was believable

Ruby rolled her eyes and sighed

"No wonder you got along so great with my Uncle." "I'll be frank I know that's a lie but I won't push." Ruby said

Guts nodded in thanks and got back to what Ruby said about her Uncle

"Yea but I think he stopped for a bit after I saved his life." Guts said

"You saved his life?" Ruby asked

"It's one of the reasons he brought me here." Guts said

Ruby was impressed about Guts saving his Uncles life. She had idolized her uncle. And said as much. And now that Guts looked at it, it did seem remarkably similar.

"So how have you been doing? I mean your technically a student but also a teachers aid? That's impressive I even hear your teaching a few classes if Glynda is busy." Ruby said

Guts shrugged "yea but mostly first and younger years I only basically correct forms and oversee fights. But it's good and technically I'm getting paid for it so it works." Guts said

"Wait your getting paid for it normally Huntsman only get paid after school Is done we take on a few missions shadowing huntsman but that's usually considered like an internship kinda thing." Ruby said

"Yeah from what Ozpin said my role was kinda like a paid internship only because legally while I'm here as a technicality as a student I can't be factuality until I leave. And because bureaucracy I can't quit becoming a student just to be hired on full time until I take four years. So it's either I sit in boring classes twiddling my thumbs as I could face monsters twice as bad as the Grimm or I make a different here. The choice is kinda obvious."

Ruby nodded and finished her soup when a bout of screaming was heard on the otherside of the door with some gunfire.

"Sounds like some gang violence." Ruby said as the owner collected there bowls.

"True my shop kinda skirts the lines of the nice and rough part of town. So many gangs find themselves crossing paths here. However as I know it the inside here is considered a safe zone so." He said

Suddenly there was a crash as the door was busted in and a gang stomped in

"Hey no violence in my store. You can do it outside as much as you want but we agreed none in here-." The shopkeeper said

"Shut up grandpa!" The leader said as he stepped forward. Towards Guts and Ruby. He leaned down and talked softly Ruby leined back away from his foul breath but Guts remained impassive

"I saw you on the road walking over here. I don't think you noticed but this is our territory and you need a tribute before we pass. Only a $5 tip per year. Pretty reasonable. However there are other ways of paying as well." He said as he caressed Ruby's cheek pervertlily

Until he felt Guts knife under his throat.

"We aren't paying. And I don't give a damn. Now you let her go and back off or I will cut your balls off and feed them to you." Guts said

"Why you?!" The boss said before Guts clenched his fist and threw him across the room sending him through the wall. " I'll pay for that if you just pay for food." Guts said casually Ruby just sat there stunned as did the other gang members.

"You…you'll pay for that." One of the gang members said but sounded unsure

Guts huffed and turned to Ruby "sorry you have to see this… after what you've just been through. " as he stood up

"Doubt it… see where I had come from I had a moniker, something to instil fear into those who would oppose me and from what I've heard the name still lingers…My name is Gut's and I'm The Black Swordsman." He said

"Heh you think we're scared of little pet names COME HERE!" Two charged at Guts at once one leaping over a table to get to him Quicker.

Guts just drew Dragonslayer and drop it down.

( play Berserk Forces OST )

Guts broke the table and cut both gang members in half as he instilled fear into them.

"H-holy…" one of the members said stumbling back as there friends died on the floor

"Be very warned… my sword has gotten very dull. However it's 5 times as thick and does 50 times as much damage as a normal sword. You better pray you die quickly or this will be painful." Guts said with a smile

"FUCK THIS IM OUT!" The gang members said as they fled.

"Wait for me!" Another said following.

Guts sighed as he walked over to the shopkeeper. And dropped a pile of Lein on the table around about $500.

"For the table and the wall." Guts said as he walked back over to look at Ruby.

To his surprise she wasn't looking horrified at the dead bodies like he expected. But packing and checking everything. Getting ready to go.

"Are you ok?" Guts asked

"No not entirely, don't get me wrong I've seen dead bodies. And I'm use to killing. Probably the effect on the Grimm I've had when I first saw them as living things…" Ruby said

Guts nodded "very well let's go." He said as they left and headed back to beacon. As they got a text from Yang saying they were there.

Guts brought the both of them back to the room and Ruby opened the door to hear from Weiss.

"I'M A VICTIM!" every night I'd come home to hear my the White fang had stolen another shipment of dust. Another official killed. And each day my father would come home furious. Which made a very difficult childhood. So you wonder why I'm angry at the White fang, it's because there nothing but Thieves, murders and Criminals!" Weiss ranted

It was here that Blake snapped

"Well maybe we were just tired of being pushed around?!"

And after a second to process what she said she ran past Ruby and Guts to get as far away as possible. Ruby screamed after Blake

"Blake please come back."

Guts was furious. Not at Blake but at Weiss. She thinks she knows the meaning of difficult childhood. He growled

Guts put a hand onto Ruby's shoulder. "Ruby there's nothing we can do for now." He said

Ruby nodded but still distraught guts helped her up into her bed Weiss was huffing at herself. Once Guts was settled he shut the door. And stood before them Dragonslayer out acting like a sentery.

"As of right now the situation has become untenable. For the rest of the night I'm putting the remains of Team RWBY on house arrest until further notice do not leave this room until I get back and give you further instructions. Ruby as leader, I must request you give a report about the confrontation, how it started and what was said, Yang can you fill in the periods that me and Ruby were absent and please send it to me." Guts said both Yang and Ruby nodded as Guts sent a glare to Weiss before a softer look at both Ruby and Yang before he left the room and shut the door.

"I don't think Guts likes you very much, Ice queen." Yang said

Ruby pulled out her scroll and started typing

Weiss huffed "rude." As she turned away to get ready for bed. "I wonder why he didn't want my form of events.

"Probably because he didn't want to have to shift through your biases." Ruby hissed as she typed out the report. And as she typed she got more and more frustrated. She was supposed to be a leader and she couldn't stop a damn argument from breaking out.

"Shit I can't write this Yang can you-." Ruby was shocked when she got a message from Yang with an audio file attached apparently she had the clever idea to record it all.

Ruby sighed and worked tirelessly to transcribe the audio file before she sent both. With a request to tomorrow have permission to give team RWBY house arrest parole to search for there wayward teammate.

He didn't respond to her.

Guts in the meantime made his way to the headmaster's office sending a message to him via scroll.

"Headmaster there's an urgent issue going on with team Rwby. I've secluded them to house arrest I'll be at your office in a bit to explain." -Guts

A few moments later Guts entered Ozpin office at the top of the tower to the waiting look of not only Ozpin but Glynda too.

"Headmaster. First off We're you aware of Ms belladonna's ties to the white fang?" He asked

"Former ties." Ozpin said insisting also telling Guts in as few words as possible why he accepted her to this school.

Guts smiled the old man never missed anything, "very well. The situation that has occurred is her revealment of her past to her teammates, causing her to flee into the night." Guts explained.

"Damn it if Ms belladonna knew about the protected measures we could have employed she might have been more willing to stay on campus." Glynda said

"That is true. However I don't think we have anything much to worry about." Ms Rose has sent me a transcript of the argument as well as an audio file. With the request they given parole of there house arrest to search for there missing teammate." Guts said

"I don't see a problem with that." Ozpin said

"Nor do I it's the weekend after all, altogether I do have a question, what possessed you to put them under house arrest?" Glynda asked

"Several reasons one. They already lost one teammate I didn't want them to lose another so soon even if it is for a search party. two tensions are high and they wouldn't be good at searching right now anyways. And Weiss needed to calm down from everything." Guts explained.

Glynda turned from skeptical to impressed at his assessment and nodded "very well I will condone the arrest." Glynda said

"I'd recommend this is not put on the record. Ruby and the team dynamic as a hole doesn't need to have a criminal charge placed on her record right yet." Guts said

"However she still failed to stop the argument from getting out of control." Ozpin said not incriminatingly but just pointing it out.

"True but Ruby and I left the group for a bit and put Yang to oversee the two from what I hear the argument started around that time." Guts said

Ozpin nodded "very well team RWBY will not have a blackspot on there record in replacement for one thing." Ozpin said

Guts nodded

"Seeing as you said you took Ms Rose away from her leadership duties. You also have some blame on this incident. Not enough to blacken your record but still as a result. You will be joining the other members of Team RWBY in search of Ms Belladonna." Ozpin said

Guts nodded "that is fair Headmaster." He said

"Very well inform the team there house arrest will be resented by sunrise tomorrow there they and you will going off to search for Ms Belladonna." Ozpin said

Guts nodded and left.

Glynda sighed

"I don't understand why you punished Guts for this he clearly had nothing to do with it and it wasn't his place to interfere in the team dynamic." Glynda said

"True but my reasons for ordering Guts to join team RWBY weren't as a punishment." Ozpin said

Glynda sighed "very well headmaster I'll take my leave."

The next day Guts and team RWBY walked down the road of vale calling to Blake.

"Blake! Blake!"

"Blake!"

"Weiss you're not helping!" Ruby said

"You know who could help in the search, the police."

Ruby groaned "Weiss."

"What I'm not wrong!" Weiss said

"Technically you are. The Huntsman and police are different to each other this is an internal Huntsman affair and the police are legally obligated to stay out." Guts said

Weiss was shocked but growled and countuned

"I can't believe it a white fang member right under our own noses." She said

"Weiss we don't know that." Yang said but weiss kept ranting

"I mean she must be good if she snuck past Ozpin and professor Goodwitch." She said

"Who said she did?" Guts asked cutting Weisses argument out from under her

"Well…how else could you explain that she got in with being affiliated with a terrorist group." Weiss said

Guts huffed and walked off clearly understanding that Weiss wouldn't understand even if he slapped it in her face.

"Blake!" Ruby said again

"This is getting us no where we should split up and find her quicker." Guts said

"Sure and once we do find her you will realize I was right." Weiss said

"And I think Weiss's hair looks wonderful today!" Penny said from behind causing Ruby to jump

"GAH PENNY WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?!"

"Hey guys. What are you up to?" Penny asked

"We're looking for our firend Blake." Guts explained

"Oh the fanuas girl?" Penny asked

They blinked as they wondered how she knew before Ruby asked

"Umm how did you know?"

"Um the cat ears?" Penny asked

"What cat ears she wears a bow…" Ruby said before the revelations hit her.

"She does like tuna a lot." She said

"So where is she?" Penny asked

"We don't know we were just looking for her." Guts said as he noticed the others were gone 'fuckers.'

"Here you can join us if you want." Guts said

"Really?" Ruby and Penny asked Penny happy being included and Ruby shocked she looked around and saw that Weiss and Yang had indeed left causing her irritation to rise.

"Yea come on let's go." Ruby said in a cheerful tone as the three of them headed down the the road.

It was just becoming dark when they heard an explosion near the docks and a smoke cloud rising from it

"Oh no… Guts" Ruby said

"Yea I see it too let's go!" Guts said

"Stay here Penny!" Ruby said as the two rushed off toward the docks

Penny looked and from her robot eyes she saw past the crates and locked onto 3 signals one being Blake. One being an unknown Faunas and one being Roman Torchwick.

Penny gasped and ran after them towards the dock

Roman was fighting a 2V1 and holding his own quiet well between Sun and Blake while he allowed the white fang time to gather the dust crates and send them off.

Roman was getting annoyed but finally he separated Blake from her weapon and had the monkey bastard at gunpoint.

"Hey!"

Ruby stepped to the edge of the wear house and stuck Crescent Rose In

"Oh hi little red isn't it past your bedtime?" Roman said

"Ruby are these your firends?" Penny asked as she followed them to the roof

"Penny get back!" Ruby said

Roman used this opportunity to send a flare at the two of them.

However Guts who was hidden nearby blocked it with his metal Hand who snapped it infront of his girlfriends face. Crushing the explosion. And throwing it back sending it with his own explosion at Torchwick's feet which blew him backwards. "Gah!"

Guts stood up "you two focus on the White fang and prevent them from stealing anymore dust. That prissy guy in white is mine." Guts said and before Ruby could say anything on the contrary he jumped off the roof.

Guts rushed forward towards Torchwick intent to cut him in half with Dragonslayer with his full weight beh the strike.

However he found his sword being blocked by his Cane

'What?' Guts asked as he jumped back

"Impossible…I mean it's impressive but how is your cane able to block my sword?" Guts asked

"It's not really that impressive Kid." Roman said taunting

"No it really is. I've been known to cleave Armies down with this blade. horses, heavy armor, nothing is safe. Yet you blocked it with a dainty cane, so I must ask who are you?" Guts said

"My name is Roman Torchwick. And I must say I'm impressed, your clearly worthy of your moniker, you're the one that was recently revealed. So you are the one they call the nigh mythical Black Swordsmen.

I do wonder, rumor has it that your a man of great rage and terrible power…is that why She left you?" Torchwick asked

Guts was startled "Who?" Guts asked confused

"You know exactly who… did it sting to see her enjoying herself to the man you followed for 5 years of your life. Someone you strove your hardest to find your friend." Torchwick taunted

"Did it hurt when she left you after so long pushing yourself to help her?" Torchwick said

"Shut up." Guts said his aura growing darker as his rage built up inside him. He was gone. They had no place here he was happy. HE can't bother him.

"They are always watching my friend, you know that. And one day he might visit you again. In person…" Torchwick said

Guts Snapped and he charged at Roman the face of Griffith filled his mind

"SHUT UP!" Guts roared as he jumped and drew Dragonslayer back intent to slam it down on the ground and squash Roman like a bug

"Oh shit!" Roman said as he rolled away from Dragonslayer as it slammed down where he once was the attack was so strong it cleaved a crack into the barge down to the water level.

Torchwick sat down, his legs gave out under him. This kid was a fucking monster and he just pissed him off.

Unknown to Guts his rage and attack induced panic in Vale however, instead of leading Grimm it was worse.

Instead behind Torchwick a portal opened and out stepped a man in hulking armor with a scale shield and heavy Warhammer. Grunbeld was back.

Guts looked over shocked

"Grunbeld!?" Guts asked

"Hello Blackswordsmen. Ready for round two?" He asked

"I'm impressed that your not a Grimm form." Guts said

"You can thank your rage for that now I can fight you as a worthy opponent and not being bogged down by the black sludge." Grunbeld said

Torchwick didn't understand a word he was hearing but he knew that he was way out of his league. And he did the sensible thing… he ran.

Team RWBY was unable to stop him as the White fang got away however they were more focused on the fight at hand.

Ruby who had at least a slight idea from her talks with Guts figured that This fight was out of their league and told her team to stay put.

Grunbeld charged and took a mighty swing with his Warhammer at Guts who was able to block it with Dragonslayer and being amplified by his aura did nearly no damage.

"Impressive…you've clearly gotten a lot stronger sense we last met. And without that pesky armor either, still your no match for a member of The Band of the Hawk!" Grunbeld said as he swing again

Team RWBY watched as Guts and Grunbeld fought.

"Ruby, do you understand any of this?" Blake asked

"No but clearly they have a history. And he is clearly someone we shouldn't mess with." Ruby said trying to give her team a warning while still trying to be vague and respect Guts privacy.

Yang punched her fists together, not really caring and just wanted to fight.

Until Guts went flying past them blowing clean through 3 containers

"GUTS!" Ruby cried in panic

"PERISH BLACKSWORDSMEN!" Grenbeld said as he fired a cannon shot after Guts which ignited the dust and sent off a massive explosion

"GUTS!" Ruby cried falling to her knees

"Holy shit! RUBY WE NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!" Yang yelled clearly terrified at this man thinking Guts had just died the rest of the team in shock as there mentor figures bit the dust.

Ruby was in shock thinking Guts was dead no man could survive that explosion. The thing she fought so hard for just a few days ago was no more…

What was life worth living in that case?

But it didn't matter because to Ruby Guts was dead.

Or so she believed until she heard a terrifying Roar she heard only once before

A roar that made her blood run cold.

"ARGHHHHHHHHH!"

"Oh shit." Ruby panted terrified.

Grunbeld was walking away when he heard the roar and he turned back to the Storage boxes shocked

"Impossible…"

Walking out of the fire Barely a scratch on him was Guts looking mighty pissed

"If you have the Time to go back to the Hawk. Give him a message for me. I'm coming for that fucker! AND I! WILL! HAVE! GRIFFITHS! HEAD!" Guts roared as he fell to his knees

Grunbeld watched in apprehension as the Blackswordsmen withered on the ground. Before he noticed something. His body started to turn black and with a distinct pattern.

The process was slow but it was clear Guts body was naturally forming the Berserker armor.

"That is powerful magic to collect such a powerful cursed object across different planes. Or is it a bastardization of it? I guess we will find out." Grunbeld said

Guts face snapped up as the triangle muzzle fell over him and the transformation was complete. He let out a angry Scream of Rage and charged

Grunbeld loaded another cannonball into his shield and fired.

However Guts with the power of the Berserker Armor as well as his aura. Sent the cannonball back with a massive swing which hit Grunbeld in the gut

"STRIKE!" Yang cheered

However Ruby didn't seem as happy to see it. She fought Guts before and it nearly killed her. And from the looks of it Guts might have just unlocked his semblance…

Ruby was questioning if she could keep her team alive if it came to blows again.

Guts didn't let up he jumped into the air and went to cleave in Grunbeld's skull where just as before he raised his Warhammer to block it

Where as before Guts barely got through Grunbeld's hammer and made a service hit on him this time Guts cleaved right through the hammer as well as cut the arm off.

"ARGH!" Grunbeld screamed

The rest of team RWBY was horrified as Weiss made a visible gasp.

Guts turned his head to them and let out a predatory growl and stalked towards them.

"Shit he's coming this way!" Ruby yelled as she cocked Crescent Rose

You think we can take him? Ruby, he just cut a giants arm off!" Yang yelled

"We have to do something!" Ruby yelled

However they didn't as Guts walked towards them Grunbeld reattached his arm and transformated into his dragon form. As his size lingered over the Docks

The team followed looking upwards in shock seeing the massive Dragon.

"WHAT THE FUCK!?" Yang cried as she saw Grunbeld towering overhead

Guts was sent flying off to the side with a flick of his tail as Guts crushed another container.

"Well great that's even more property damage." Weiss said

Guts jumped off he container lifted it up and threw it the dragon.

"$100,000, $200,000." Yang said teasing Weiss about the property damage cost.

As the container crashed into Grunbeld, Guts shot his cannon at the crate blowing it up

The explosion popped eardrums as Guts charged forward! Grunbeld in his giant form was dazed the explosion knocked him out of his form he was done fighting.

He didn't even notice Guts hand come up behind to behead him.

Ruby gasped and turned away as Guts didn't hesitate and executed him.

His body did vanish as well as the blood but it still meant that 3 of the four witnessed a live execution on possibly the closest thing they will see of an actual human.

Guts let out an angry roar of victory before he started to walk back towards the group.

This time is walk was different it wasn't hunched forward or angry. But passive however the group wasn't taking any chances as Yang held onto Ruby protectively. And Blake and Weiss got there weapons ready.

However Guts shook his head and suddenly the Darkness around his head faded

"Ah, so that how's I do it…" Guts said

"G-Guts?" Ruby asked

"…Yeah." Guts said tiredly before he suddenly pitched forward.

"GUT'S!" Ruby cried as she ran over to him.

"That brute nearly tired to kill us and she still considers him a firend?" Weiss said

"Somethings never change." Blake said, shrugging.

"True…like this team." Weiss said smiling to Blake

"Yes Weiss I wanted to you to know I'm no longer associated with the white fang and I find there actions deplorable."

"Yes I kinda figured. It took Gut's ranting for me to finally understand." Weiss said before she looked over to Sun.

"You I'm still not sure about!" She said.

"Guys he's not waking up!" Ruby said

"Freeze!" The police officer said

"Were huntsman." Yang said arms still raised

The officer nodded and lowered his gun. "Fare enough what happened to him?" He asked

"Let's say he hulked out and most of the damage is his fault. Before he passed out." Yang said

"Is he a huntsman too?" The officer asked

"Yes."

"Very well I'm going to have to file a report but I won't take you into custody. He clearly needs medic first. Get out of here, I don't want to see you here." The officer said

At Beacon Ozpin was by his deck looking as his scroll. And the news feed about the docks incident. And a message from Qrow

"Queen has pawns."

Before he could respond Glynda sent an urgent message.

"Ozpin Guts is in the medical wing in critical condition!"

Ozpin stood up and headed down to the medical wing as quickly as possible.

When he got there team RWBY was waiting outside the room

"Team RWBY it's glad you're all back together. Now let's find out what happened shall we?" Ozpin stepped in followed by team RWBY and saw Guts hooked up to the medical equipment but tossing and turning like mad.

"He's delicious please get back!" One of the doctors said before turning to the nurse "Gas him!"

However the Gas only made him more fritful. As he tossed harder and nearly broke the bed.

Only to suddenly let out a massive scream which forced everyone to cover their ears. Guts woke up and shot up knocking over a ton of medical equipment. As he woke up from his nightmare.

He looked around and got his baring before he processed to tear off all the medical equipment

"Woah woah woah easy easy buddy your ok your safe!" The doctor said trying to keep the equipment on so they can monitor guts but he shoved him away

"Don't touch me!" He yelled

"Guts!" Ruby cried as she ran over to him

"Ruby?!" Guts asked looking up as she got there she hesitated with his outburst of not to be touched she feared his reaction.

"He took the choice from her as he hugged her with both arms as tight as he could

"Thank god your safe!" He cried into her shoulder

Ruby was shocked as was everyone else Guts was well known not a touchy figure. But here he was blatantly hugging Ruby.

Ruby didn't say anything as she felt him shaking. And just allowed him to calm down.

"Well now that that is settled." The doctor said as he left the Room to give the others a chance to have a private word.

After getting Guts situated Ozpin sat down to talk to Guts about the debrief.

As Guts explained what happened Ozpin nodded

"Hmm it sounds like you unlocked your semblance Guts?" Ozpin said

"Semblance? Really? that's amazing!" Ruby cheered.

"Pretty terrifying but I also have to agree." Weiss said

"I wonder what's the physical adjustment it does. To angry to die?" Yang asked

Guts smiled "something like that."

"Guts I must ask that you explain what happened fully at the docks. You explained Torchwick got away but that doesn't cover the awaking of your semblance or the damage to the docks." Ozpin said

"Are you sure you want them here?" Guts asked

Ozpin eyes shot open in shock a blaintent use of magic really?

"Oh no mister your not getting rid of us that easily! No your telling us exactly what happened and how the hell that giant came out of no where." Ruby said

"Giant?" Ozpin asked

"An apostle." Guts explained. Ozpin sat back and nodded until Guts finished.

"So it was one." Ruby said

Guts looked at Ruby and nodded

"A real one."

"Ok ok can someone explain to me what is going on." Yang asked

Ozpin looked over to Guts and asked "do you trust them?"

Guts nodded "and JNPR with my life."

Ozpin nodded "very well I suppose I'll fast track a few things. Team RWBY if you will please bring team JNPR to my office we need to have a conversation." Ozpin said

Team Rwby nodded and left leaving Ozpin and Guts alone. "I've been told by the doctor he wants you to stay here for the night. In the morning we will tell Team's RWBY and JNPR.

"About her?" Guts asked

"No but about magic and how you really came to this world, we will infer her and talk about the threat she may pose. But we cannot do anything about it now please don't mention the magic of this world you can explain the magic of yours and how you got here but let me explain this world's magic.." Ozpin said

"Oz there is another thing." Guts said

"Yes?" Ozpin said

"Roman Torchwick spoke of my history.." Guts said

"The known criminal what's that got to do with anything?" Ozpin said

"The thing is he spoke of stuff only I know of which means Torchwick and possibly the White fang might be working with either the apostle's or even the godhand themselves…" Guts said

Ozpin nodded and left. Allowing Guts to sit back and Relax and think of the day's events. As he texted his Girlfriend via scroll.

The next day Guts made his way to the headmaster's office and saw teams RWBY and JNPR impatiently waiting

"Ugh why won't Ozpin let us In already?" Ruby asked

"Probably because he's waiting for everyone to get here." Guts said

Ruby turned around and lunged at Guts for a hug "Guts!"

Guts grabbed Ruby and they held each other. And looked deep into each other's eyes before a cough interrupted them.

"Oh come on Yang they were about to kiss too." Nora moaned clearly teasing them than trying to be mean Yang lightly punched her anyway. "That's my sister your talking about." Yang said

"Yeah so? You told us about how she's a nymphomaniac? What's kissing got you do with that?" Pyrrha said

Ruby turned to Yang accusingly

"You told them?" She asked

Yang raised her hands "I'm my defense you were too loud one night and they were worried it was a nightmare." She said

Ruby just blushed at the implication that most of her friend group understood she was a Nymphomaniac

Guts smiled to be honest he had gotten so use to Beacon and it's life he didn't know if he wanted Ru Return to midland. Don't get him wrong he'd love to see Casca again alive and well, but here he actually felt like he had a home.

"Let's not keep the headmaster waiting." Guts said as he strode forward. Clearly the others didn't share his enthusiasm as Guts strode forward and opened the door.

He was met with Glynda and Ozpin looking out the window together. But aside from that no other members of the brotherhood.

"No Birdman?" Guts asked much to the two teams' confusion.

"No Qrow will not be joining us." Ozpin said as he spun around and raised an eyebrow

Guts shrugged "didn't know how descreet you wanted to be." Guts explained

"Plans changed." Ozpin said as he stood up. "Team RWBY, JNPR your here for multiple reasons one of which is your attachment to Guts as a person… and the other is that we need your help…" Ozpin said

"Ohh foreboding." Nora said

"Of course Oz. Say your going to expose everything but still keep up the cryptic shit." Guts said rolling his eyes

"You know that's my charm." Ozpin said

"More like annoying moniker." Guts said

"Much like you and the blackswordsman?" Glynda asked Guts looked to her and she smiled "the legend travels. I dear say you underestimated how quickly word spreads now." Glynda said

The other teams were confused with the banter but were brought back to the serious topic.

"So what are we explaining first? Your world or mine?" Guts asked

"Our world Guts. You are apart of Remnant now." Ozpin said

"Ok I'm really really confused!" Yang said

"What's your favorite fairy tale?" Guts asked

"Fairy tale?" Ruby asked

"Yes, fairy tale you'll understand soon enough." Guts said

After everyone gave there answers. Ozpin spoke

"Ever heard of the story of the seasons?"

"Wait are you saying?" Blake asked

"The story of the seasons is full blown truth." Guts said

"How would you know?" Yang said

"Because I am the one who lived through it…" Ozpin said

"But your not that old professor." Pyrrha said

"Wait…you told me before that you made more mistakes than every man woman and child on this planet." Ruby said

Ozpin smiled

"Very astute Ms Rose…yes I am…Cursed." As Ozpin explained his story. Leaving out the Gods and Salem. But explaining the story all the same.

"Holy crap…" Yang said

"So…what is this great evil your up against?" Jaune asked

"Simply put we don't know." Ozpin said

"All we know is that there vast." Glynda said

"And that they have the white fang in there pocket as well as the Grimm." Guts finished

"Wait your sure?" Blake asked

"You we're at the Docks that night." Guts said

"Yes but that doesn't explain the giant." Weiss said

"Giant?" Ren asked

"That requires a shift in perspective." Guts said stepping forward.

"Please understand that in this world there are two basic planes of existence." Guts said

"Guts.." Ozpin warned

Guts however turned on him " they need to know. It won't make sense otherwise."

Ozpin sighed and nodded

"anyways there are two planes… the physical realm where you me and everything you know exists. And the astral realm. The realm where Monsters, demons. And Gods dwell.

First a little history however I'm not from Remnant as you probably picked apart. And where I came from it wasn't nearly as technologically advanced as here. The gun had just been invented if that gives you any context." Guts said

As Guts went through his early life he noticed everything was looking at him in awe. Especially as he killed 100 soldiers in a single night to save Casca.

Even Goodwitch looked impressed

Then he got to the eclipse and everything changed.

As he explained the eclipse and how devastating it was. Guts took note of everyone's reactions. Yang was simultaneously angry and scared her Ruby was horrified at the betrayal of Griffith having the full context she understood why Guts didn't want to share the info easily. Ozpin looked ashen. Many others looked like they were in denial. Pyrrha, Blake, and Weiss most notably.

Guts countuned recounting his post eclipse adventures. And eventuality how he was able to actually restore Casca's mind.

"But in the end I failed." Guts said

"I died. And I ended up here." Guts said

"And that's when you ended up here and you saved my uncle?" Ruby asked

"Yeah." Guts said nodded

"So wait in that case how old were you when you actually died?"

"I didn't keep track of my age but I believe I was around 24 when I kicked the bucket." Guts said

"Really?" Ruby asked Guts nodded

"That's still really impressive especially from the dangerous world you lived in." Ozpin said

"This is really weird to see about you." Yang said

Guts shrugged "to be fare it's strange for myself as well." Guts said

"So what's that have to do with what happened at the dock?" Ren asked

Guts nodded "Yes. Well that requires a bit of back story. When I arrived on Remnant I was followed by the monsters I once killed. And they tried to kill me again. This is a beast that looked like a Grimm but it was an apostle with a grimm fusion. It was as strong as an apostle normally was in my world. They said thay would keep hunting me." Guts said

"Damn even with the hard life you already have they still won't give up." Glynda said

"I've dealt with it before." Guts shrugged

"Anyways the docks occurred as the rage I've felt. Seeing as Grimm feed off negative emotions this apparently is true for apostle's as I summoned a full apostle from my world without any Grimm interference." Guts said

"An real apostle?" Jaune asked

"What did he look like." Nora asked

"He was a giant." Ruby said

"Yes Grunbeld is quiet fierce and quiet powerful as well if I didn't have the berserker armor given to me when I fought him I would've died." Guts said

"But you fought him off quiet well at the dock" Yang said

Guts shook his head "yes however I didn't have aura back then. So it was much weaker. Plus I was getting older and I was already injured when I fought him." He explained

"So…what does this berserker armor do?" Ren asked

As Guts explained the armors capabilities everyone went to a horrified state.

"What the fuck?!" Yang screamed

"You had to deal with that?"

Guts nodded as he turned to Yang who was processing what he had told her about her anger issues. And it suddenly made sense as to why he said as he did.

"And you have to deal with it again but now as a semblance…" Ruby said worriedly.

Everyone caught up to what she had said and relize the same thing however Guts held his hand up.

"No not exactly. While my semblance is infact the Berserker Armor it's power has changed maybe it might be because when I first came here I slayed a true manifestation of the Beast of darkness. Or my inner demons. But when I had the armor on when I fought Grunbeld I was in full control of my actions." Guts said

"But you acted so must like a monster how can you be sure?" Yang asked

"Yang I had no intention to attack any of you at that time the new trouble about the armor is far more worrying. For one I feel that when I stop using my semblance my entire energy is drained which is why I passed out.

And for another thing once I take off the armor any injuries I sustained while in the armor return in full force." Guts said

"Wait…what does that mean?" Ruby asked

Guts lifted up his shirt and revealed a massive scar across his chest.

"Grunbeld broke 3 of my ribs when he threw me. The only reason I'm standing here at all is because of my Aura." Guts said

"Oh my god!" Glynda gasped. Hand to mouth horrified.

Ruby rushed over for a chair and thrusted Guts into it.

"Ruby-!?" Guts said

"No! After this meeting your returning to the hospital until that wound fully heals! That scar is way to deep to not have permanent damage if gone untreated Aura or not. Your wasting Aura just fueling your healing." Ruby said in a finial tone.

Guts sighed "alright I'll do that." He said with a smile

"Holy shit I did not expect. That outcome." Blake said

"Yea you'd think with someone as stubborn as him from what we heard he'd put up more of a fuss." Yang said

Ruby just hugged Guts deeply "I'm just worried about you." She said

Guts smiled and nodded "I'll be safe," he said

" well with that story out of the way. You've caught up where we can explain the situation." Ozpin said before nodding to Glynda. Who erected a hologram from the middle of the room

" this is a security footage I collected the night Ms. Rose encountered Roman Torchwick. As she played the fight until her interference.

Guts looked over to tease her and get a word in but Ruby just pointed at him and shut him up.

"This is what happened after my arrival." Glynda said as she showed the fight with Cinder and everything else that happened and there escape.

Guts narrowed his eyes and looked at Ozpin who nodded

"Sir…" Guts said

"Yes that Guts was indeed magic." Ozpin said

"So we need to consider the enemy. Has at least a Maiden on there side." Ren said

"And with that the ability to gather apostle's." Guts said

"Half maiden." Ozpin insisted "We got information from Qrow my agent in the field of someone attacking the Fall Madien Amber. Falls has extensive powers of fire. Which matches with the attacks caught on camera."

"I'm really confused Qrow our uncle knows you?" Yang asked

Guts nodded

"But where is the other half?" Nora asked

"Still alive but in a coma. Qrow told me he rescued her before her attacker could symphon all her powers." Guts said

"Which means they might come back to finish the job." Ren said

"The Vytal festival!" Jaune exclaimed

Ozpin clenched his fist in anger "shit." He hissed before he stood up "The festival is far too set up for us to cancel the event without arousing suspension I'm afraid we will have to go on with it." Oz said

"We should move Fall." Guts said However Ozpin shook his head

"She's already in critical condition if she move her she won't survive. She's already on life support already." Ozpin said as he sat down.

"I hate to be the one to admit it but, James has the resources we need." Glynda said

"Ironwood?" Weiss asked

"The General?" Blake asked

"He is apart of this inner circle. Along with the other two Headmasters." Ozpin said

"How long will it be until he can gather his forces?" Guts asked

"It shouldn't take too long. Most of the Atlas military is set on standby anyways. I just have to think of a good reason for there presence." Ozpin said

"Well you told me in history. The Vytal festival is set forth to ensure unity and cooperation with the kingdom's. What better way to show that to have a foreign kingdom overrun security?" Guts said

Ozpin sat down in through. " Hmm it would work but James is a prodigious man I'm not sure how he would handle the task." He said

"True. However this is also only for the public face. And maybe a few peacekeepeing guards. The real security will be us. And other Huntsman you trust." Guts said

Ozpin nodded "yes I can see this working." He said as he stood up "I need to go and inform Ironwood of the new update. And send a request to the vale council for the request to co-opt security with both beacon and Atlas." He said he looked over at the two teams.

"This is not official yet. We need at least four members to agree to it before we make you offically into the brotherhood. But for now your unofficially apart of this. I do not need to tell you that what is descussed in this room is need to know only." Ozpin said

"Yes sir but I have to ask. What do we have confirmed of the enemy?" Ruby asked

"Well we have confirmation of Roman Torchwick, and a half maiden." Ren said

"Which we can link all the Robberies to." Weiss said

"As well as the White Fang." Blake said

"That and with the Apostle's that's a very powerful force. The one thing that bothers me is what unites them?" Guts asked

Ozpin turned to Guts "What do you mean?"

"Well I can't really say about the other factions but I know the Godhand. The "general's of the Apostle's are very focused on causality and fate. But also dominance. They follow orders biased on what they consider god or "the idea of evil" but why someone who isn't an apostle would willingly join forces with them. Even if uninformed. Something else is pulling the strings to loop all these different groups together." Guts said

" perhaps we should investigate this." Ruby said

"No!" Guts said

Everyone froze. Ozpin and Glynda most shocked true they were going to say no as well but with Guts insistence really made them wonder.

"The investigation at the docks was big enough. The enemy knows we are at least on their radar even if they don't know we know they're all connected. They will be more tense and ready for something. We need to wait for them to calm down before we go and investigate once more." Guts said

Ozpin smiled "well said Guts. It's true the enemy is reeling from what has been done to them. Use this time to relax and smooth yourselves over first. Then we will go at them and keep them occupied." Ozpin said

"Very well headmaster." If you excuse me I think I'd head to the hospital right now." Guts said

"Actually I do mind just for a few minutes more" Ozpin said

Guts sighed and sat back down.

"The rest of you can leave us. Ms Rose, please stay as well." Ozpin said

Glynda looked over. "I think I'll give you a chance to be alone I'll send the paperwork to the Council and to Ironwood." Glynda said.

"Thank you Glynda." Ozpin said as she left. Leaving the three of them alone.

"Ms. Rose please understand that there are some things that cannot be revealed. However due to circumstances that I have just been aware of I feel if I don't do this now I will be doing a disservice to you. Your mother. And all that she strived for. I also believe my head would be split open by your "boyfriend?" Is that the word?" Ozpin said

Ruby shrugged "We haven't talked about it together much but if willing I'd consider us that yea." Ruby said

Guts was shocked "even with my history and learning how much older I am?" Guts asked

"I mean yea it is weird. But not as weird as being taught by "The wizard." Ruby said

Ozpin smiled "I'm afraid it only gets weirder from there Ms. Rose, do you know of the story of the girl in the tower?" Ozpin asked

"Yes it's a very dark tale in my youth my mother only told me the first half about how a man like the wizard whisked the women away and life's happily ever after. I later found in Beacon library the full text and found out the hero died and the woman eventually went mad with power and eventually turned herself into…Grimm…no!" Ruby gasped covering her mouth in horror

Ozpin nodded "I'm afraid that is true. It's that exact tale of the tale of my curse ment and how I wound up here." Ozpin said

"But then our enemy is?" Ruby asked

"My ex-wife, yes. It is complicated. And like me we are stuck here imprisoned by the gods.

"What is her name."

"Her name is Salem. And as much as I know what I must do…I can't kill her. Even if I caused our breakup. With our ideas not able to coincide I still love her." Ozpin said

Ruby gasped

"You said your old and have been reincarnated several times. But what keeps her here why hasn't she not died from old age yet?" Guts asked

"I suspect several things. Either we are binding each other. Her physical magic anchoring her to the plant. Or and I really hope not. The Grimm." Ozpin said

Guts nodded "I'm happy you were able to tell Ruby this." Guts said

"Wait you knew?" Ruby asked

"I knew of Salem. I didn't know her history and I didn't know how old she was." Guts said

"Yes however there is another reason I called you here. Mostly for Ms, Rose but Guts is here for your protection as well. Do you remember what I told you first when we met Ms Rose?" Ozpin asked

"That…I have silver eyes?" Ruby said

"Yes. It's a very rare trait. There is a legacy of sort with those who had silver eyes. If you know of the story creation of humanity. You know the Grimm were apart of this world long before huntsman. And while certain. Para-groups exist pre huntsman. They were never as effective as what we have today. Either because they couldn't recruit. Or were wiped out in larger Grimm attacks. Except for one.

A cult of warrior's to be frank but they were the best in the businesses. Legend says they have the power to kill a grimm with a single gaze." Ozpin said

"Wow!" Ruby said

"When I say the group was in fact a cult I mean it. There have been a lot of religions in Reminant's history. But only 2 were actually real. The brother gods. Light and darkness. Of course you know this story of the creation of Grimm. I make sure each huntsman and combat schools teach it. Which is why the mandatory Fairytale class exists." Ozpin said

"Anyways in the cult there were only 2 real parameters to become a member. One is to be good at killing Grimm." Ozpin said

"And the second?" Ruby asked

"You had to have silver eyes." He finished

"So your saying…" Ruby said

"Yes you are part of a legacy that is very very old. The actual silver eyes are actually passed off from the god of light himself." As they worship the god of light and considered the god of darkness pure evil." Guts said

"But you don't." Guts said

Ozpin shook his head.

" gods are gods they don't follow the rule of "good" and "evil" Guts, you can attest to this." Ozpin said

Guts nodded "yes even if the God hand are more cruel you can't really consider them evil I can't speak of the idea of evil because I haven't met him. But I don't believe that the brother gods are really gods." Guts said

"But the powers? What else would they be?" Ruby asked

"From what I've seen and in fact heard from Griffith when we met on the hill of swords again. I believe the god is universal. However the brothers. Move freely and interact. Where a true god wouldn't need to… therefore I feel comfortable in considering the brothers are not gods. But in fact Godhand." Guts said

"Really a remnants version of the Godhand?" Ruby asked

"Yes it makes sense as they strive for humanity for control and balance. That's not to say that they are not still powerful but they are not as powerful." Guts said

Ozpin nodded "that's reasonable. Sorry we got off track. But anyways your eyes are in fact powered by the magic of the god of light. And as that. Salem will have an eye on you." Ozpin said

Ruby nodded in understanding.

"Don't worry I'll protect her." Guts said

"I'm sure you will Guts" Ozpin said

"But first I get to protect you as you make your way up the hospital come on up you get!" Ruby said as she shooed her boyfriend out the door.

Ozpin watched them with a smile. Yes, the future would be safe indeed.

Guts laid back down in the hospital bed as the doctors looked him over for the wounds again.

He was soon sent on his way again but this time in a lot less pain the doctors stating that he had missed that would thinking it was only a scar.

Still Guts was fully on the mend now and in a weeks time he was fully allowed to fight again.

For now he sat in his room tinkering with his hand as well as thinking about his past.

'I wonder what Casca is doing now?' Probably either taking up my mantle or dealing with my funeral.' Guts though

Suddenly there was a knock at the door Guts opened it and found Yang standing there.

Guts nodded before letting her in

This was the time they established was going to be when they had there Anger training.

"I want you to get as angry as you can but don't lose focus of me." Guts said Yang nodded

However whenever Guts went to trigger Yangs rage she saw red.

The first time it was in Guts room and she flew at him with a punch. Which he very easily blocked caught and disarmed her of.

He held her in that position until her semblance shut off.

"Gods damn it!" She screamed as she dropped to the floor.

"Hey hey no worries we have to start somewhere." Guts said as he put a gentle hand on her shoulder

Yang nodded

Guts stood up picking Yang up with him.

"Ok let's see what we can do this time activate your semblance but note the exact time that you lose focus on me.

Yang did just that even if the final outcome was the same this time Guts twisted her arm and threw her down on the ground when she went to hit him with her other fist.

Yang relaxed and Guts got off her. She sighed

"Ok Well I've been able to see my semblance but I can't fully activate it unless I lose control." Yang said

Guts nodded "then I guess we will begin with over time we will start with you just shy under the point of where you lose focus and slowly add more power/anger." Guts said

Yang nodded as she stood up

"Shall we do that now?" Yang asked

"No it's far too late anyway, but I also have homework for you." Guts said

"Ugh Homework?" Yang asked rolling her eyes teasingly

"Yes homework. Tonight before you go to bed I want you to activate your semblance but I want you to limit the anger to only the point before you lose focus. And hold it for as long as possible." Guts said

Yang nodded "ok…" she said

Guts put a hand on her shoulder and gave a squeeze. " you've got a long way to go I won't lie but you are on a very good path and are in very good hands." Guts said

"Ok…when are we going to meet again?" Yang asked

"Whenever we meet each other in the halls tell me how it goes. We will physically meet after dinner." Guts said

Yang nodded and left the room.

While Guts had training with Yang almost everyday

He had training with Blake and Weiss the normal time for his classes.

For Blake he taught her how to lay ambushes on the fly. And think of trapping there opponents in the moment.

As for Weiss Guts taught her how to limit her opponents control to allow it so she was able to get better strikes in.

As of now the Battles between Team RWBY were a lot more even instead of Ruby stomping her team completely each one of them won each 1/4th of the time.

Indeed all of team RWBY were now at the same power level.

Guts felt good to even bring them on an Apostle hunt.

Unfortunately though, team JNPR needed a lot of work.

He was happy that he had Team RWBY's help training them

Ruby helped with Pyrrha.

Weiss helped with Jaune

Blake helped with Ren

And Yang helped Nora.

While Guts watched he felt good with how trading was going.

He at the end of it decided to give the two teams break from classes along the same 4 weeks the teachers did for the end of the semester.

Of course being the workaholics Team Rwby was they trained during that time.

Actually it was worse than that.

As there were no classes to go to they trained Every single day.

Sun up to Sundown.

At least JNPR did and other Foreign students and other Grades were shocked by JNPR's training.

Rwby trained non-stop

At least for a solid week they did a full session of training in the Emerald forest (with Ozpin's permission)

The idea was on Sunday they would pack All the gear they would need and use the launchpads to fling themselves into the forest.

They wouldn't return until next Sunday.

Guts would watch them on the camera's and intervene if help was needed.

The goal was to exhaust them.

Drain them.

And break them.

It failed on all three accounts

They came back more energized.

Excited

And more In determined than ever.

It was then Guts realized he didn't make one Monster

He made 4.

And clearly the news of the training spread as the next week JNPR followed suit.

Guts didn't expect them to last 2 days.

Whether from sheer spite, or grit he didn't know.

But JNPR didn't…

They went 2 weeks.

Guts sighed as he realized that the two best teams in the school have now started a petty rivalry to one up the other.

Guts and Ruby's relationship grew deeper during this time.

They spend more time in each other's arms. And Ruby would return late at night from Guts dorm.

Her teammates questioned her about it all the time.

"What did you do?"

"Did you have fun?"

"Did you have sex yet?"

Ruby rolled her eyes the first two she answered easily

Unfortunately she got asked the last one more often than anything else.

And Ruby had to avoid the question

She took very long showers.

And no Ruby and Guts didn't get intimate yet.

Ruby didn't even know where to start.

It was frustrating.

So she kept to herself and tried to get herself off in the shower.

Fortunately Yang being the only one Ruby actually told this had stashed a Dildo in there for if Ruby needed it.

It was one of the few things that kept her sane.

Another thing she worked on was training with her silver eyes.

Despite she had no idea how to activate them it didn't stop her from trying.

And she put real effort into them.

Eventually she was able to get them to glow consistently

Unfortunately she had no idea how. So she was just stuck

Guts had encouraged her progress one day as Ruby sat on the floor of Guts Room

Ruby sighed as she got no farther than before.

Guts had been reading trying to figure out anything else about Torchwick's movement's.

"Ugh I can't do it." Ruby said flopping on her back

"Ruby it's only been 6 days you've made incredible progress.

"Yeah but do to my quick thinking. I'm usually able to get it done by now." Ruby said

"Yeah but think of it as a better challenge." He said

He sighed as he put his scroll down

"How about this…I can try to give you an incentive." Guts said

"Oh how?" Ruby asked

Guts patted the bed as Ruby looked at her boyfriend couriously but sat in front on him

"Yes?" Ruby asked

"Face the mirror." Guts said

Ruby did so allowing Guts to scoot forward to have his chest pressed up against Ruby's back.

"I know you've said you've been horny for a while. So what I'm thinking. If you can get your eyes to activate. I'll squeeze your tits." Guts said

Ruby moaned

"I take it you like that idea?" Guts asked

Ruby nodded

"Very well let's begin," Guts said

"How?" Ruby asked

"Put your arms behind you." Guts said

Ruby did so and felt the tip of Guts cock in her hands Ruby blushed and looked to Guts who just smiled

Ruby smiled back

"Now try to activate your eyes." Guts said

And that's how they did it.

Ruby was unable to get anymore of a glow but something told her that wasn't it.

"I don't even know what it will feel like once I do it." Ruby said

Guts smiled I have faith you will… he looked over and noticed it was late.

"You should go I think your teammates will be worried about you." Guts said

"Wait." Ruby said making guts turn

Ruby pressed her lips onto Guts as she pulled away with a smile

"Love you." She said

Guts smiled back

"Love you too Ruby."

The next few days Ruby and Guts focused solely on this training method.

Ruby actually felt herself getting better at drawing upon her eyes even if she couldn't truly activate them

However there was something else she was noticing to

Her arousal.

Guts had moved to placing his hands on her chest as Ruby tried to activate her eyes.

But it also made it so Guts was teasing her.

Not that she minded honestly. It was just that well…

Now she wanted a fuck

Specifically she wanted Guts cock which she felt every day in training.

So to that point Guts made a deal.

I'll edge you each day you fail to activate your eyes

"Once you do I'll let you cum." Guts said

"And if I can't activate them before I desperately need to fuck?" Ruby asked moaning as Guts fondled her breasts

"Then I'll ruin the orgasm and we start again." Guts said

Ruby groaned Ruined orgasm's were terrible for her. They kept her on edge but at the same time reset her Arousal physically meaning she had to build up an orgasm again which was twice as hard mentally.

Ruby groaned and accepted having no choice.

Ruby got to the room groaning from being backed up

She felt so close but Guts had called the end of training and Ruby was sent to her room.

While Ruby went to bed she didn't notice Weiss was under her bed thinking deeply. Scowling.

She knew Ruby liked Guts. But Weiss had also fallen for Ruby…

Which was a problem…

She wasn't sure if she could handle having Ruby taken away.

She'd need a quick solution.

By the end of the week it was noticeable that Ruby was on edge.

The rest of her team was worried but Ruby waved there concerns off.

After all they knew Ruby wasn't a walking distacter like before.

Still it didn't mean they were not worried.

Finally with 3 days left to the Break Ruby was able to activate her eyes

"Yes!" She said

Guts smiled

"Excellent love. Tell me do you think you can do it again?" Guts asked

Ruby thought before a minute before trying

No result.

"Well now we know what it feels like now we go for consistency

"But first your reward." Guts said as his fingers dragged down Ruby's Belly to her Pussy as he slipped his hand underneath her panties and brushed her folds

Ruby bent her head back and groaned as Guts circled around her clit.

Ruby gasped and lurched forward trying to escape as she came hard.

However Guts arms were too tight as he pulled her back making her lay on him in her post orgasm haze.

"Ugh…your mean." Ruby said

"But that was your reward, love. Next time you get it you can expect the same thing." Guts said

Ruby sighed

"Tease." She taunted

Guts smiled

"Good night Ruby. I'd recommend changing your panties tonight." Guts said

The next day Guts had his first visit to Professor Peach,

Guts didn't know what to expect at all so he just entered.

They didn't do much that Guts considered to be important, but Guts did talk about his past.

Specifically well as much as he could say.

He got into his past his early childhood up until he met Griffith

What confused him was why Professor peach likes like she saw a ghost.

"I think we should leave it here for today." She said

Guts shrugged and got up

"Ok I'm not sure what that did but that's just the beginning." Guts said as he left.

As he left Peach leaned back and sighed

"Ozpin what the fuck did you get me into?" She asked as she poured herself a drink and threw it back

It was something her best firend Glynda Goodwitch would see and question whether or not the sky is falling as she was not known to drink or swear.

By the end of the year Peach would consider herself an alcoholic.

Ozpin didn't know what to do.

The fact of what Guts had said was terrifying in and of itself.

And the fact that they might be working together.

Ozpin was having doubts about himself as of now.

Was he even capable of dealing with this?

He didn't know. Perhaps when James got here he could calm his nerves…

For right now he could only stay the present course…
