SLVR "Linen" Trailer


The screen turned black as texts fade in on the screen:

"Jump first. If your destination is worth the risk, you'll figure out a landing strategy by the time you hit the ground."

Ozpin smiled and nodded at the quote on the screen, ignoring the stares he got from most of his peers. His deputy rolled her eyes knowing how much the Headmaster loves to see his students getting launched into the sky.

"Some things never change," Qrow mutters.

The camera panned out showing the ruined cities that once populated Mountain Glenn. Standing atop on one of the buildings is a young man with bleach blond hair spiked upwards, his black bodysuit worn over by a white fur vest.

"Mountain Glenn."

"Indeed, Glynda. It seems like Mountain Glenn will be where this setting is taking place. Dr. Oobleck would have a field day with this."

This young man is named Lycan Arcadia, a member of Team SLVR. Lycan surveyed his surrounding areas before jumping down from the building, to continue his investigation.

The scene cuts to a bullhead buried in rubble, Beowolves crawling around it. They sniffed the air with one of them straying from the pack as it scouts the area. As the lone Beowolf walked closer towards a building, it seemed to have sensed something as it jerked its head up to see Lycan landing on it, breaking its neck upon impact.

Lycan drop rolled and lunged towards the Beowolves. He targeted two nearby Beowolves, delivering two roundhouse kicks and sending them flying in the opposite direction. One of them slammed into the bullhead, quickly recovering as it tried to attack Lycan; only to be swiftly dispatched by a punch and a kick.

This got a nod from a certain blond girl. "I like his style."

"Of course, you do." Weiss rolled her eyes.

"His uniform reminds me of the White Fang's," Blake said causing her entire team to look at her. "Just the color scheme." She said quickly.

"His fashion sense is decent," Coco commented.

Sun sighed, "Blake, you really need to stop being obsessed with the White Fang." It was almost as if 'White Fang' was her triggered word.

"O-obsessed?" She glared at him with an incredulous expression.

"Yeah, yeah. Style and terrorism aside, this kid really knows how to throw his punch and kicks." Qrow said as he drank from a bottle. After gulping down half of its content; he resumed his critique. "All of his attacks were calculated and precise; meant to bring down an opponent with minimal action. Something very valuable out on the field. You should learn something out of that, Yang."

Winter stared at the drunk man, "Since when were you this analytical?"

"Cool it, Ice Queen. I was a teacher at Signal."

Another Beowolf lunged at him with both of its arms clawed and out, intending to tear the offender apart. Without breaking the momentum, Lycan intercepted the Beowolf's attack, wrapping his arms around its waist and German suplex it, crushing its head into the ground.

"I'm liking this guy even more," Yang said with a smirk.

"He is very efficient despite not using a weapon," Yatsuhashi noted as Velvet was taking pictures, without the camera flash, of course.

Ruby seemed to be devastated at that, "No weapons?"

"I'm certain we'll get there, eventually," Pyrrha assured her.

"Yeah, a few Beowolves aren't really that much of a problem," Neptune added in.

The dead Beowolf was kicked away from the bullhead wreckage as Lycan jumped onto the bullhead, scouring around the wreckage. Finding nothing, he jumped down into the bullhead and the screen quickly fade to black.

"He seems to be searching for something."

"It appears so." Ironwood nodded. "I wonder what he could be looking for."

The scene cut to Lycan walking down the streets, ignoring the Grimms that had spotted him out in the open. One of them was prowling around the roof before leaping down on its prey.

He didn't bother to glance up, throwing a knife at the Beowolf in the air. The Grimm plopped to the ground, its head impaled by the knife that he had thrown. Several Beowolves had gathered around him; blocking his path, but were easily slain as he produced another knife and killed three of them with ease.

"Where is he getting the knives from?" Jaune asked.

Pyrrha answered him, "Most likely from the white bracer he's wearing."

Meanwhile, Ruby's leg was bouncing, anticipating the reveal of Lycan's weapon. Sure, the knives did count as weapons, but she knows that there was more to it.

The Beowolves didn't stand a chance against Lycan as they were quickly slain with just a few strikes. Seeing that they didn't stand a chance, one of the Beowolves howled into the sky, calling for reinforcement from its brethren.

They converged at Lycan's location, proving to be nothing but cannon fodders as they were swiftly killed before they could even gain a numeric advantage.

"Not every kill has to be powerful, or extravagant," Glynda said to her students as she watched the young man on-screen eliminating the Grimms without any flair. "That goes especially for you, Ms. Valkyrie."

Nora choked on her pancakes and chuckled nervously as her professor turned to glare at her.

As Lycan slaughtered the surrounding Grimms, a white Beowolf appeared and lunged towards the spiky-haired youth. Lycan's leg shot out, kicking the white Beowolf knee in and uppercutting it, sending the unique Grimm into the air.

"Hold up." Weiss put up a finger, "Was that Beowolf colored white?!"

"Unless you're colorblind. Yes." Qrow responded helpfully.

"Coloration aside, it didn't seem to be anything special," Neptune noted with Weiss nodding at Neptune's assessment.

The rest of the adults had an intriguing look.

"Professor Port would certainly like to see this specimen. Dr. Oobleck as well. A shame they're not here." Ozpin said.

"I took several pictures of it, Headmaster Ozpin. I would be happy to share it with them." Velvet spoke up.

"Thank you, Miss Scarlatina. They would be very grateful."

"Your colleagues will be joining us, eventually."

Lycan's arm brace, the Wrist Holstered Dagger Talons, started to shift revealing his weapon; Razorbolt.

From the audience, Ruby giggled; causing Coco to give her an odd look. The fashionista glanced at Yang, who merely shrugged in response.

On the other spectrum, Velvet was snapping photos so that she could incorporate Lycan's fighting style into her weapon and semblance.

He dashed towards the falling white Beowolf, slicing through its body like butter and proceeded to decimate the rest of the surrounding Beowolves. Yet, despite slaughtering Grimms left and right with frightening speed. A single Beowolf managed to land a blow on the spiky-haired boy.

"He let his guard down," Neptune stated as a matter of flatly.

Glynda nodded, "Indeed. A lesson to be learned, children. It doesn't matter if you're skilled enough to eliminate a large group of Grimms. If you let your guard down, you will be caught off guard. Simple as that."

"That's also a bad move on the Grimm's part," Yang smirked.

Lycan glared at the Beowolf, his golden eyes glowing as he tore the Beowolf apart with a grunt and continued his onslaught. Grimms were flung into the air, already hacked into pieces as Lycan lashed out violently against the horde.

The scene cut to a Beowolf trying to crawl away from the aftermath of the carnage only to be stomped on by Lycan, who was looking bored.

His boredom quickly faded as he heard the sound of heavy footsteps heading towards him over a wall. Another unique Beowolf burst into the scene, its cluster of spines made it stood out from the rest of the Beowolves. Thw Grimm possessed even more armor than an Alpha, a series of bone-like spines extruded from its shoulder, thighs, and forearms. A long sword-like spike was coming out of each wrist, and it has a unique mask; two thick horns growing out of it.

The unique Grimm appearance seemed to catch the audience off guard.

"Another unique Beowolf?" Weiss asked, inspecting the intimidating Grimm on the screen.

"Maybe a different variant?" Neptune scratched his head. "I heard that certain Grimms in different environments change their behavior, and sometimes, their appearance."

"That sounds like a decent hypothesis." The heiress replied, "I can't believe I'm saying this, but I wished Professor Port was here."

"Professor Port would most certainly like to see this." Glynda sighed, "Despite his… Bombastic stories and behavior, he is quite passionate when it comes to studying Grimms."

Meanwhile, Ironwood leaned towards Ozpin and whispered, "I never seen this sort of Beowolf before. What do you make of it?"

Ozpin face was impassive. "I wouldn't put it past Salem to create a new variant, but let's not jump to conclusions."

Lycan barred his teeth and grinned, revealing rows of sharp teeth.

Blake blinked, "He's a faunus, huh."

There were certain faunus that is almost indistinguishable from humans unless one takes a closer look at their features.

"Didn't see that coming." Sun agreed.

"Not White Fang, Blake." Yang said jokingly, "Not everyone who wears white and red is a –"

"I didn't say anything." Blake huffed as she elbows her partner in the ribs.

"Sorry, sorry." Yang laughed, "Hope I didn't offend anyone."

He cracked his knuckles and readied himself to fight the heavily armored Grimm.

The Beowolf let out a mighty roar but was silenced halfway as a large blade impaled itself through the back of its head, killing the Beowolf in an instant.

"Well, that was a disappointment." Qrow snorted before frowning at the next scene. "What's that?"

An armored humanoid android wielding duel broadsword stood on top of the slain Beowolf. It pulled its sword out of the corpse and heaved it over its shoulder, molten eyes blazing as it pointed another sword at Lycan, challenging him to a fight.

Penny frowned, "That appears to be some sort of combat android. Not one that I am familiar with."

"So cool!" Ruby stared eyes wide at the mechanical knight, ignoring the context.

"Another one of Atlas's toys? Jimmy?"

Ironwood shook his head, "As Penny stated, this is the first time we have seen this sort of model. What's it doing out there? It appears to be alone."

"… I believe this was what the faunus was looking for." Winter said as she watched the fight played out on the screen.

The Armor shot towards Lycan, forcing him on the defensive as its large sword clashed against his clawed gauntlet. He managed to land a blow against the heavily armored foe, but that proved to be fruitless as it didn't even damage the mechanical knight.

Despite wielding two large broadswords and possessing no aura, the Armor proved to be a capable combatant as it swung its massive blade with ease. Lycan narrowly dodged its attack, leaping over its blade and positioning himself behind the Armor.

"It's strong," Blake noted. She had dealt with the Atlas's military androids before, but unless they were large like the Spider Droid, they tend to be not as impressive. This particular android, on the other hand, proved to be a dangerous opponent for the faunus on screen.

"It is." Ironwood agreed with his arms crossed. He already had Winter and Penny writing notes down on the android on screen. If they can replicate the one on screen, Atlas will have a huge boost in its military, all while lowering military causalities.

Blake, on the other hand, didn't seem to enjoy the fact that the Atlesians were taking note of this but didn't protest.

"It could be a Grimm possessing the android, similar to the Arma Gigas Grimm I fought during my concert," Weiss added in, remembering how she received her scar from that day. She then frowned, "But if that's the case, it wouldn't be killing another Grimm, would it?"

"Regardless, that is still a possibility," Winter said as she wrote that down.

Lycan crossed blades with the Armor once more, only to be slammed in the guts and launched into the sky with a fierce slash from both swords. The mechanical knight stabbed both of its swords on the ground as its eyes glowed bright orange, launching a concentrated fireball at the falling faunus, who narrowly dodged it. The fireball continued its trajectory before erupting in an explosion high above the skies.

"It has ranged capabilities. A destructive one no less." Winter mused.

The faunus landed flat on his back against the rooftop with the Armor not far behind. He jumped back up just in time to avoid a crushing blow from the Armor as they resumed their duel. Their blades sparked against one another, Lycan slowly lost his ground, never gaining an edge against his armored opponent.

Then he saw an an opening. Lycan spun around and delivered a fierce kick onto his opponent's torso only to find that that the impact barely moved it. In retaliation, the Armor swiped at Lycan's feet, knocking him off balance and smashed him through the cemented rooftop. Lycan hit the earth and stumbled to his feet, holding his head with one hand as his opponent jumped down from the roof and quickly kicked him into a pillar. It crossed its blade into an X and slammed it against Lycan's Razorbolt.

"Come on, you can do it." Yang encouraged the faunus on the screen. "Cut that tin can into scraps!"

"Break its legs!" Nora joined in after eating all the pancakes she could handle.

As their blades grind against one another the faunus grinned as his pale, translucent clone materialized and slammed its foot into the Armor's face driving it back. Lycan pressed on the offense, using his clones to disorientate his opponent as he struck against the armored foe multiple times in quick succession.

"Hey, that's similar to my semblance!" Sun exclaimed.

"Lycan's semblance is mixed between yours and Blake's. He can send out one clone at a time that will last for a single hit." The Hosts explained.

"So, Blake and Sun had a baby and was trained by yours truly?" Yang said while wiggling her eyebrows at Blake.

Both faunus sputtered on this with Sun looking away and Blake glaring at the blondie, her cheeks slowly turning red.

"You can put it like that, yes."

Yang laughed as Blake proceeded to strangle her, failing miserably as she put Blake in a headlock.

Glynda shook her head, "Children, please."

"So, that's his name. Lycan." Beacon's headmaster mumbled to himself.

A Dust cartridge housing four different types of Dust was briefly seen as Lycan quickly snapped them into Razorbolt, preparing to use them in conjunction with his semblance.

Ruby squealed as her sister rolled her eyes. "Ugh, my baby sister's innocence is tainted by her lust of weapons."

"Quiet, Yang!"

The Armor picked itself up as Lycan calmly walked towards his opponent, sending out his clone to attack, only for it to be cut down as the Armor stomp towards Lycan, not slowing down by the faunus's semblance.

As it raised its sword to strike down one clone after another, one of them suddenly solidified into stone, headbutting the Armor in the chest and causing it to lose balance. Lycan immediately took advantage of this and attacked the mechanical knight with blistering speed.

"Yup. He's definitely yours, Blake." Yang nudged at Blake who promptly snarled and looked away.

Weiss took this opportunity to get back at her faunus teammate for leaving her questionable reads on her bed. "I agree with that sentiment, Yang. It's not hard to imagine what your offspring would be like. Especially with Yang around..."

"Hey!"

"W-Weiss?! What did I do to you?!"

"You left your books on my bed, and those weren't school textbooks." The heirless replied, not wanting Winter to know of the whole incident.

The Armor fell flat on its face allowing Lycan to kick the mechanical knight into the air and summoned a clone made of fire. The fire clone smashed down onto the Armor's head, causing the ground the explode and dropping the android into the underground carven.

Midair, the Armor clenched its fist as it recovered, making cracks in the carven floor as it landed. It quickly stood up and glared at Lycan as he barreled down with the full moon in display in the sky.

"There's that full moon again," Weiss mumbled.

Ozpin hummed for a bit, "At times when the planet and moon are rotated in a certain way, our shattered moon can appear to be whole. While rare, this phenomenon does happen ever so often."

Weiss had a thoughtful look before remembering her obsolete lessons way back in her childhood, "Oh, I recalled having a lesson on that with one of my tutors. It was a one-off lesson and a trivial one."

"Know it all."

As Lycan descends upon his opponent, the Armor's eyes glowed very brightly as it charged up its most powerful attack. Lycan knew that he won't be able to reach the mechanical knight on time, not without help. He summoned his clone and had it launch him towards the Armor, smashing into the mechanical knight with great force, sending his armored opponent into the ground as Razorbolt buried itself deep into the Armor's visor.

The android's head shook violently and started to glow orange, overheating as it wasn't able to unleash its charged attack. No longer capable of containing the stored energy, it exploded; shaking the entire cavern and ending to the Armor once and for all.

In the midst of the explosion, Lycan managed to escape; losing one of his claws in the process as he watched the pieces of the Armor raining down on the paved floor. The camera panned over towards the Armor's visor still sporting one of Razorbolt's claw lodged in its eyes. Lycan snatched up the visor, along with the claw and walked away.

Screen fading to black.

After a moment of silence, Nora was the first to speak up. "That explosion... It was awesome!"

"Yes, Nora. It was." Ren sighed as he pulled the energetic girl down to her chair before she could bounce around the room. Nora did put a lot of maple syrup into her pancakes.

"I liked that one," Yang said with a savage grin as she hounds in on Blake. "We get to see Blakey and Sunny little boy all grown up."

"I swear, Yang… I will end you!"

Ozpin drank from his mug, relishing his drink. "Who was it that we just saw?" He asked.

"Lycan Arcadia. A wolf faunus who is part of Team SLVR." The Hosts replied.

"Thank you."

"You are welcome. We will now be adding more guests to the roster. Though we must warn you that the next batch of guests may not be to your liking."

Everyone tensed up. "Who will be joining us?" Ironwood asked.

"Roman Torchwick and his associate Neo Politan."

"What?!" Team RWBY cried out, along with Winter.

"You can't be serious?!" Winter shouted, "We've just captured Torchwick, and you're just going to free him?!"

"Yeah!" Ruby and Blake agreed.

"Calm yourself, Specialist Winter," Ironwood commanded with a stern expression.

"Indeed." Ozpin sighs, "May we ask why though?"

"We are neutral. We do not discriminate."

Qrow empty out the content of another bottle before dropping it out of existent. "Well, might as well get this over with."

On cue, Roman and Neo appeared at a different section already seated on their cushioned chair. Neo was the first to react as she shot up and surveyed the room, her eyes narrowing at the cast before her.

"You!" Yang growled as she spotted the familiar young woman that one-sidedly sweep the floor with her.

Ironwood and Winter leered at Roman who was trying to make sense of his surroundings.

"Oookay… Neo? Let's get out of here." Roman said urgently as he got off from his seat and stood behind his partner in crime.

Qrow snorted at that, "Good luck."

Neo frowned as she realized that she didn't have her weapon with her. Even more so, she couldn't use her semblance here.

"Your semblance will not work here, but rest assured you are safe. We are your Hosts, allow us to welcome you to our domain. Please make yourself comfortable as another batch of guests will be arriving soon."

"I must be dreaming," Roman muttered wishing he could smoke right now. At that moment, a pack of Remnant's finest cigar appeared before him with a lighter, catching the thief off guard. "I am dreaming." He said as he accepted the pack and lit up his cigar. "Ah, just what I needed. Let's take a seat, dream Neo. Ow!"

Neo had kicked Roman in the shin with an upset expression. She produced a sign out of thin air that stated the following, "I'm real."

He stared at the sign for a moment before laughing, prompting her to kick him again.

"Please tell me we won't suffer from secondhand smoking," Winter said with disgust.

"You will not. Rest assured."

"So… Where are we?" Roman asked, "If I'm not dreaming right now, ow! Neo, if you would kindly please stop kicking me?"

"We will explain your situation as soon as the last batch of guest arrives."

It turns out that their next guests are none other than Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury; who appeared a few rows in front of Roman and Neo.

"Hey, it's Cinder and her teammates from Haven!" Ruby waved them hello.

"C-Cinder?!" Roman sputtered as his cigar fell from his mouth.

Cinder glanced at her surroundings, realizing that she was in the presence of her enemies. Ozpin, Ironwood, Qrow… The list goes on. With her quick thinking, Cinder shushed her two lackeys and played the innocent game. She didn't know what was going on, but she kept her mind calm and open.

"How do you know my name?" She replied, her eyes burning into Roman's socket.

Roman opened his mouth but shut it instantly, fearing for his life.

"Silence." The Hosts commanded, causing everyone to freeze. After a moment of silence, they started their greeting. "Welcome to our domain."

/-/

Roman and Neo sat comfortably away from Cinder and co., while the secretly sinister trio was enjoying their snacks.

"I see. This will be entertaining." Cinder purred as she rested her arms on the armrest. Her mistress will definitely want to hear about this.

However, she knows that whoever these Hosts are, they are definitely not someone or something Salem could face off against. It was also blatantly clear that the Hosts know of her true allegiance, yet it seemed that they do not have the slightest concern about it. They were, in a sense, nothing to them. Plain and simple.

Nonetheless, this place intrigued her greatly.

"Eh, I got nothing better to do anyway." Mercury shrugged as he rested his feet on a footrest that he called up. "So, what are we watching?"

"We're watching Team SLVR and their adventures!" Ruby explained excitedly, "There was this guy named Simin who had this awesome rotatory system on his jacket that lets him infuse Dust on his clothes and –"

"Okay, Ruby. That's enough. You can explain that to them after we get a short break." Yang turned towards the screen, eyebrows raised.

"Correct. After the viewing of Team SLVR is completed, we will provide you a short break. Without further ado, let's begin the next presentation."


NEXT: SLVR "Viridian" Trailer

I plan on doing ALL of SLVR trailers.

I also strongly advise you to watch the SLVR Trailer on YouTube. The animations gets better as it goes on.
