Sorry for my bad english. A warning. Every time that the words are writing like that, is someone thinking. Just saying before someone try ask.
On the highest tower of Vale. The knight with black armor stare the twilight from what could be the best spot to watch the sunset. Vale is really a beautiful city if be look from the right spot. But for someone who have bad memories can be a painful vision. The knight still remember the days on the city when he was just one among the others teenagers, but this make a long time ago.
-Sir. -The woman in black appeared. -What exactly we are waiting for?
-He cannot wake up unless use her power.
-But she is dead a long time ago. How we gonna get her power?
-Is all a question of planning. Just let them running free for now. We need at least one more Umbra Witch to keep with the plan.
-But i am the last Umbra Witch who exist and have the power we need, i alone don't have power enough to...
-Wrong. Have one more.
The woman sighed.
-Only if Cereza or Jeanne were compatible.
Vale
The nights on the city were almost always full of movement. All adults and some rebel teenagers could be see walking around to have some fun. Like drinking or something more obcene.
Glynda drive her car to where was that pup what was in the coupon. The white nissan altima 2002 run along the other veicles like was going direct to home or going for some wild night, not that Glynda would do something like that. She just wanted a drink or two then leave the place. What would happen if any of her students saw her like some woman who use alcohol to try forget her problems. Since she going to have sometime for herself, she was not wearing her normal attire. A black sleeved turtleneck blouse, a white tight jeans and a brown leather jacket. Her hair was untied flowing free and she was still using her leather boots, leaving behind her cape and earrings.
She parked right next to the bar. Some male faces turn the head to see the blonde leaving the car. Glynda know that she is a beautiful woman, but she let those matters aside because of her work. She just ignored the stares and enter on the bar.
The Gates of Hell was a bar with a gothic atmosphere. Some gargoyle statues were in the wall, almost no light to iluminate the place, a red neon sign with the name of the bar behind of the balcony. Below the sign, inumerous bottles of drinks. Glynda look around to the customers of the bar. They seemed like normal people, some mans in business suits and womans in teasing dress, but deep, she knew that something was different with them, just couldn't say what was.
Her attention was caught by the bartender who was cleaning a bottle. He was a really big bald man with some tribal tatoos on the head, wearing black glasses that hide completely his eyes. He was wearing a dark brown shirt and overcoat, his hands were with rings in every finger and a bracelet in both arms. His ears full of earrings and a golden necklace. Glynda walk to the balcony but feel some eyes on her from both mans and womans around. Maybe because she was dressing in a different way from the rest of the customers, was the only reason she could think.
In the moment she sit down, the bartender turn his attention to her.
-What i can do for you? -He spoke. -Are you here for a drink or pleasure?
-Excuse me?
-Either way, I'll hook you up. -Glynda give to bartender a stare that could open a hole in the wall. -Ok, ok. Just a "no" would be enough. Anyway, what you want? -Glynda get the coupon from her pocket and show to him. She notice that he give a strange look to her. -Hard day, huh?
-Pretty much. -Was all she said.
-Is easy to a huntress kill some monsters, but angels is another history.
-What? -He turn around and start to mix some drink for Glynda. -Wait a second, you know what those creatures are? -He didn't move, just keep mixing the drinks. -What are those monster?
-Like i said, angels. -He still not turn around to talk to her. -They appeared from nothing and only you could see them, right?
-You know something about what happened to me today?
He finally turn back to talk to her and in his hands, a wine cup with a purple drink.
-More or less. Here, to make you feel better. -He put the drink on the balcony to Glynda take it. -All i know that the one who took care of those matters are really lazy make a while.
-Lazy? -Glynda asked before give a sip on the bottle. She have to admitt, this guy is creep but know how to mix a drink. -Someone else can see those creatures?
-Angels baby. They are angels.
-Do you really expect to me believe on that?
-You gonna believe in due time. For now, is better you not be around of the ones you care about.
-What do you mean?
-They never go close to that school of yours.
-He know that i'm from Beacon?
-If only you could see them, it seems that they are there for you. Why? That question i cannot answer.
-What do you want from me? You not make me come here only to have one more customer.
-Baby, i don't want nothing from you, maybe except some assistance.
-With what?
-My business partner seems to be dealing with her own business, so i need someone else to help me to deal with some plagues around. But you couldn't handle the problem.
-Excuse me? I'm a professional huntress. I can deal with anything from this world.
-Like the angels on the school? -Glynda sharping gaze turn into a sad one. She saw the monsters and couldn't save a life when she was around. The life of the student that died in front of her will forever be on her shoulders with the weight of the guilty. -If you can't deal even with the most weak of them, you can't possible survive against some of i deal in the daily bases.
-If you think that i can't handle, why did you wanted to me come here?
-I didn't.
-What?
-In the moment i saw you, i thought was just a woman trying to experiment a new place to drink. Not that i mind, i can always have one more customer, but who told you about The Gates of Hell?
-A messenger.
-Interesting. -He start to think about he heard. -A advice. If you don't want any trouble, i recommend you to forget what happened today and keep with your life.
She couldn't. No after those so called angels by him kill one of her students. If they are around on Vale and are hurting people, Glynda as a huntress couldn't allow them fly around doing what they want. Bartender seems to know a lot about them, she need to make him tell everything he know about them.
-Who are you anyway?
-The name is Rodin. Is all you will have.
He notice that she want answers.
-How do you know that those monsters are angels?
-I face them even before you start to walk baby.
He seemed old actually.
-How manny species have?
-A lot. One more dangerous than other.
-How come nobody know about them?
-Who would believe that the good and angelical angels are killing people? Some of them are expeled from above and come to the earth.
-Expeled?
-Hey, they are living beings. What's mean that they can be good or evil. I just happen to hunt those who think that can do what they want.
-Why?
-To not be bothered by them later.
-Why i can see them?
-I don't know.
Glynda was sure that he could answer that, but it seems that he not have all the answers for her questions. But have more things that she need to know.
-Who are you business partners? They can see angels too?
-Yes, they can. But who she are, is none of your concern.
-Why not? -She asked angrily.
-Do you reveal those type of information to your enemies just because someone who want answers asked?
Of course not. Rodin is hiding something or someone, she should know as a person who hide a big secret from the others that is not a good idea to answer any question that someone ask just because are curious. It seems those person who work with Rodin must have their enemies. So he not gonna reveal nothing about them. She could force him, but she don't know if he would give any true information. For now, she decide to give other questions.
-Do you know someone else that can see those angels?
-No. Is impossible to any simple human to see them. You must be special.
-How special?
-I don't know, just that.
She sighed and give another sip on the cup. She once thought that saw everything that Remnant was behind the curtains since Ozpin told to her about the magic powers who were walking around. Now, angels are coming from the skies above and wanting a piece of her for reason unknow for her. Ozpin said that he gonna try discover what are those creatures, but she doubt that he gonna discover anything that Rodin just told to her. She make a note to remember to herself tell to Ozpin everything Rodin told to her, but first she need make sure that all the information that he is talking about is true.
For now, it seems that Rodin not gonna reveal nothing about his business parnter and of course, about himself. So what more she can ask? There something.
-When i was on the bullhead coming to Vale, the time slow down around me. Do you know anything about that?
-Maybe. I know someone who can do that, but like i said, she is pretty lazy lately. -Must be his partner. No. If was, he would not say about it. So have someone more in the middle of this. The question now is... who? She finished her drink, give to him the coupon and start to leave the place. -A advice baby. Pay attention to your surroundings.
Rodin said before Glynda leave the Gates of Hell. With all the bartender said in mind, she start to wonder what's going on on Vale.
Beacon
Train with the champion of Mistral sure give to someone good results. Jaune not only was able to win his first match on the combat class like also becoming a strong warrior like the members of his family. Done with another training session. He sit down on his rear, panting after another workout. Pyrrha could see his skill growing with him.
-You are doing great Jaune. If we keep like that, you gonna be in our friends level in little time.
-Don't need to try raise my moral Pyrrha. I know that will took time to at least face one of our friends toe to toe.
-I'm serious. You have potential Jaune. You just need keep practicing.
-Hehe. Thank you, i just... hey, what is that light?
-Where?
-There. -Jaune point to Vale, but Pyrrha tilted her head in confusion. -You are not seeing?
-Jaune, the only light i see is from the buildings. Maybe we exagerate on the today's training. Let's go back and rest.
-Yeah, maybe you are right.
Jaune said, but he keep looking to the light before leave with his partner.
Vale
Glynda drive her car to go back to her house. But what Rodin told to her before leave keep on her head. So she decide keep driving without destination to see if something will happen. For now, everything was normal. But she keep her eyes open for anything. Seeing that nothing happened, she decide to go back. But when she decide to turn around a light come from above.
-Just when i was going back. -She said.
Glynda leave her car and saw coming from the sky two creatures who were exactly the same. They appearance are far different from the Affinties. Their bodies were less humanoid and in used masks that seemed like birds beak or something similar. The landed in front of her.
Second Sphere Virtues
Grace and Glory
They have the same simbol of the angels on their arms and legs. But instead of spears, they both have huge claws. One generating flames and the other lightnings. Glynda somehow knew that those two wouldn't be so easy to defeat like the affinties.
She get her riding crop from the car and got ready for them.
The first one with the flame claws that she somehow reconize as Grace come first. She create a barrier in front of him and he jump to the side to attack her. She was caught by surprise by the speed of the angel, but was able to give a jump back. But when she landed, he was right in front of her. With wide eyes, she created a barrier and blocked the attack of Grace. She pushed the barrier and her enemy away.
The other she reconize as Glory come next. Glynda shot some purple shots against the angel who was easily dodging the attacks. He jump above and threw his claws against Glynda, she create a barrier and block the attack but the claws were holding the barrier and then, Glory pushed himself against Glynda and broke the barrier. She clenched her teeths. She was about to try another attack when notice Grace behind her.
-When did he... -She didn't have time to think, she have to dodge the claw coming from both her front and back. Wasn't a easy job, both monsters were fast, she almost was caught in their attacks every time she dodge. But she notice that Grace is slower than Glory. She couldn't find a opening on them like that, she need space. She raise her crop and created a light what blinded both her enemies. -Let's try this. -She make come from the sky lightnings on both her enemies. It seemed have less effect on Glory, of course. While Grace was recovering, Glory already start attack Glynda. She tried another barrier but like Grace, he jump to the side and go after her. Glynda tried a fire wall, but Glory give a jump and landed on her back. -Oh no, you don't! -Raising her crop, she create a purple whip with her aura and start to attack Glory, but he parried and dodge all her strikes with no problem. -Dammit!
Glynda keep swing her crop, trying hit her enemie. From above, a woman was watching the fight.
-This is all you got? Will not be enough. -The woman said.
Grace recovered and attacked the huntress. Now she have to deal with them at the same time again, she tried blind them agains, but when she raise her crop to evoke the light, her crop was get off from her hands by Glory.
-Oh no. -She whispered. Glory don't waste time and attacked Glynda sending her to above. -Ugh! -In midair, he hit the huntress with a three combo. -Ugh! Uh! Ow! -He finish sending Glynda to the street. -Uh! -She hit hard the floor and Glory landed a little far from her. -Ugh. He is strong. And Grace is stronger than him. If wasn't for my aura, i would be unconscious. -With effort, Glynda got up, but was sending back to the floor when Grace jump after her, but she create a bubble with her aura to block her opponent's attack. Grace was on the top o her bubble, attacking and trying to break her protection. Glynda make one push and send her enemy to the sky, then used her semblance to call back her crop. She point her weapon to the enemy falling to... -Ahhhhhhh! -But she forgot about Glory and was electrocuted before could do anything. She fall on her knees, but wasn't enough to take her down.
She raise her crop and the floor below Glory crashed and he used both hands to not be smashed by the asphalt. Grace come back and start to spinning with his claws, Glynda create a big ice rock and make fall above him, smashing him on the floor. Groly jump after her and she grab him with her telekineses and threw him to the nearest wall, then to the floor, to the floor agains, Grace come from the ice rock and Glynda threw Glory against him, but he jump away and she push Glory back to hit him on the back.
They both got up and seemed angry, such as Glynda.
They both attacked at the same time and Glynda create another barrier and this time, they attacked the barrier trying to break and finally get rid of the huntress. Glynda evoked again the purple whip and wrapped around Glory, she start to spin him around and threw him with force on the floor. Grace then come from her back, but she make a little explosion with her aura and send him to the wall.
-Nice try. -She saw Grace coming like a missile against her, but she also have to pay attention to Glory who come from her back, she nearly dodged their attacks and used the whip to send Grace away. But he moved only some milimeters. -How? I used so much force in this attack. -She look closer and notice that Grace was slowly going away and Glory was moving like was in slow motion. -What? -She did't understand but decide to wonder later. She used the timing to create a spear with the debris that Glory create when send her to the floor and make fly through him. The time moved againg and Glory start to scream in pain because of the hole on his chest. Glynda make a little ball with her aura and send to the hole. -Say goodnight. -Glory start to feel something grew inside of him, then he exploded with the little aura bomb that Glynda make it. -I haven't using this move for while. Good to know that still work.
She turn her attention to Grace who jump and again got her crop from her hands, she saw the claw slowly coming to her face. Her anger was going all the way through her body, those creatures are more hard to deal than any grimm she ever fought. Again she was disarmed by her enemy. Her anger make her clench her hand and without think properly, she ducked the claw and punched Grace in the stomach. When she come to her senses, her enemy flew away with the force of her fist. Grace crashed on the wall and fall to the floor. Glynda look to her hand.
-H-How? I... i not strong like that. And i didn't use my aura in that attack. -While she was wondering, she look again to Grace and saw that instead of dissapear like the affinities, he was being dragged by some dark enery from the floor. Some hands grab his body and push him to the dark energy and then dissapeared. -What happened? -She look around and notice that Glory also dissapeared. The streets were empty because of the late hour, so nobody must have see the fight. She sighed, somehow, she was able to punch Grace with force enough to put Yang on the shame, but she don't know how she did that. -I was always that strong?
She know that not. She may have a athletic body, but not strong like that. She look to her hand and then to the shattered moon, feeling something that she didn't felt a long time ago. But she couldn't say what was.
From the darkness of the alley, Rodin lit a cigar with his finger.
-Another one? -He blew the smoke. -Beautiful.
Limits of Vale
He walk a long distance for the job and it is better the money be worth of the job.
-This is Vale? Is not so bad actually. -With his sword on his back and both pistols on the waist, he start to walk his target. -Time to find that party.
End of the chapter. Glynda face two more stronger enemies and Rodin have a eye on the huntress. Someone else gonna enter in this little war and i already gonna say, is not a OC, so i don't need to worry about the rules for RWBY OCs. To be honest, i take a couple of minutes to choose Glynda's clothes when she go to The Gates of Hell, i not so good in those matters, but... meh. I hope that everyone is satisfied with her attire, because i plan to give more clothes to her. She is a woman, or course.
For Jaune, still will take a while to him play a hole on this fic, for now, don't expect him do something for now. Remembering also that to keep Monty's rules for OCs, i changed Fernando's last name from Hazashi to Minuano. I'm tired of explain about why i choose that name, so if you want to know why, give a look on the recent chapter of Sons of Darkness or STRK, my OC fic.
Leave a review if possible and see you next time.
