Chapter 3.

Things have been rather...interesting as of late for Taiyang Xiao Long, along with his wife, brother-in-law and ex-wife. Having been pulled from their home along with professor Ozpin and Glynda Goodwitch, the Schnees, the Belladonnas, the Rens, the Arcs, the Nikos and the Valkyries to read the adventures of the young man, known as Riddick S. Rexton, traveling on an alternate version of their universe. Thanks to their host Imhotep or Hotep as he's called.

After Summer had finished her turn it was now his turn to read the book, and await to see what comes next.

"So, is everyone ready?" Imhotep asked.

All of the adults nodded feeling anxious to see what the screen will show them. That is until Imhotep spoke out. "Before we begin, I brought in a very 'special' someone who would very much like to read this as well." With a few claps of his hands the sound of a door opening was heard and closed within the void.

The sounds of footsteps were heard and suddenly both Kali and Ghira felt their instincts going haywire, they froze like statues in their seats, while Kali looked like she was about to pass out Ghira bared his teeth and lets out a small growl. Even Ozpin himself froze when he senses something...familiar coming his way.

"Well now...this is a surprise indeed."

Ozpin looked ready to leap out of his seat when he saw her. The infamous Grimm Queen herself; Salem!

Summer, Raven, Taiyang, Qrow and Glynda were about ready to draw their weapons, only to find out they left them when they were brought into this realm. Willow and her husband looked more whiter than humanly possible when they sensed the dark aura around Salem, as did Jonathan, his wife, Achilles, Helen, Thor, Sif, Li and An were unnerved by the queen's presence as she drew close to them.

"When our esteemed host told me of this little gathering, I was skeptical at first, but now that I see all of you here I can tell things will be...interesting." Salem smirks upon seeing the face of her foe.

"W-W-What is she doing here?!" Raven questioned through gritted teeth, her face had a few sweat drops rolling down as she kept her gaze on Salem.

Imhotep placed himself between Salem and the parents. "I brought her here just like how I brought you all. I've already explained everything to her, even showed her the first chapters as you were reading the second chapter." He explained before anyone could say anything. "She's agreed to be on her best behavior for the remainder of this viewing, I hope you all do the same, any complaints some of you have can take it up with me after this is over with." With a snap of his fingers a lounge chair appeared out of thin air, a few feet away from where Ozpin and Glynda sit.

Salem lightly chuckles as she walks by the adults who eyed her like hawks, Ozpin the most, his eyes never leaving her when she passed by and sat down on her chair.

"I'm not liking this one bit." Raven hissed under her breath.

"For once, Rae, I agree." Qrow said while gripping his seat tightly.

Summer was lightly trembling the entire time. She knew about Salem through Ozpin during her time in Beacon, as well as the war both her and Ozpin wage without the public knowing. She vowed that she would stop Salem and end the war before it got to the point where her daughters would be dragged into it.

"Now then. Mr. Xiao Long, care to begin?" Their host said, gesturing him to begin reading.

Tai briefly looks at Salem and then to their host, with an uneasy look on his face. Regardless he nods and opens the book as the screen flashed to life.

(City of Vale)

It was nighttime around the city, many people were either sleeping, heading out for parties or late-nighters still at work or head home from work. Usually it was a peaceful night in the city...mostly peaceful.

"Give us the damn bag, you animal!"

A woman with light brown hair, blue shirt and white blue with a brown cat tail, was backing away from three thugs, who were closing in on her. "P-Please, just leave me alone!" She pleaded tears threatening to fall. Her assailants however only laughed.

"You come across our turf, and expect us to let a mongrel like you walk away, without paying us? No deal." The leader cackle wielding a metal bat. His two partners having a knife or a pipe were cackling, and closing in on the poor Faunus woman. She braced herself for their attacks when suddenly...

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

The sound of gunfire was heard, and the cries of pain and shock came from the thugs. The woman saw them holding their hands as their weapons were on the ground, sizzling and smoking as if something hot struck them. Then they heard a metallic sound in the air. The woman and the thugs were looking around themselves, trying to find the source of the sound, but the sound echoed in the air and alley.

Then the woman saw something on the roof of the building beside them. The thugs looked up, and saw the one who shot at them. On the edge of the building, was a man dressed in a red and black outfit, with a helmet covering his entire head, metallic lips were seen where the mouth is, with an upside down triangle with four edges, the same image was on his chest. And in his hand was a pistol in the shape of a T-Rex head. The stranger was tapping his pistol against his hand, creating the sound that echoes in the air.

"Well, that's one way of making an entrance." Qrow utters, still feeling really uneasy about being in the same place with Salem of all people.

The sound of the metal echoing in the alleyway sent shivers to some of the parents, but for Salem, it had a rather...soothing effect on her. She recalled seeing the young man in action from a separate room while her host had her enemies, along with the parents read Riddick's adventures, just seeing him easily taming two Grimm she never created before was a sight to behold as well as turning into the Quantum Ranger and besting her Grimm. Especially using them to kill those foolish humans, the Blue Sons, and fighting the musical assassin.

"Hmm, I hope to see more of this young man soon." Salem said with a smirk, and lightly licking her lips.

The woman felt hope rising inside her, while her assailants felt anger inside. "Who the hell are you?" The leader called out.

The stranger tapped the pistol on his hand one last time, and stops tapping. slowly moving his hand away, he takes one step off the edge and lands before them "Who am I? That's none of your concern, since I'm someone who despises scum like you." He simply answered them.

This angered the thugs even further, and they charged blindly at him.

"Pathetic." The stranger said before charging at them with greater speed, before any of them could react the red and black stranger appeared behind them. The stranger and the thugs were frozen like statues, until the thugs fell on the ground. The woman was amazed that the stranger easily took those horrid men down like they were nothing!

Then she saw her savior walking over to her, and offered her his hand. "You alright miss?" He asked her.

She nodded and hesitantly grabbed his hand. He helped her on her feet, started dusting her off and handed her bag back. "Um... thank you, sir." She thanked him still surprised that a human would save a Faunus like her, since most humans would ignore something like this.

Her savior waved it off. "No worries ma'am. Just try and stay away from places like this." He turned around and was about to leave when.

"Wait!" She called out. He stopped and turned to face her. "Could you at least tell me who you are?"

The man was silent at first, then he answered. "I'm the Quantum Ranger." With that he turned and leaped high into the air, the woman jogged out of the alley, just to see him leaping over a building and vanishing into the night.

The woman smiled and gave a silent thanks once again, then she saw a two police cars coming into view and let out a sigh of relief that she's out of danger. Thanks to that one human, the Quantum Ranger!

Seeing the young man rescue that Faunus woman, brought a smile out of Ghira and Kali, they were pleased to know that Riddick wasn't biased about the Faunus race like other humans were.

The same can be said for Summer. She had friends who happen to be Faunus before, and she understood their strife and desire for equality, it did her heart good to see this young man helping the Faunus, despite his killing nature.

(Insert Evolution- The Big O OST)

It had been a week since I arrived here in the city of Vale. Apparently, I'm not on earth any more. No shit, I really am, on another world! Sounds like something out of fantasy or sci-fi right? The world I'm in is known as Remnant, and even though there're humans here, there's the other race known as the Faunus, like the ones I met at Forever Haven. How do I know? I went to the local library, that's how.

And another thing I found out that, those creatures that attacked me were known as "The Creatures of Grimm" or simply "Grimm". From what I found out they were known to be as the bane of humanity, when mankind was created on Remnant, the Grimm for some wild ass reason sought out their destruction. At first both the humans and the Faunus were on the brink of extinction, until they found a way to fight back, with a rare element called "Dust", why it's called that I don't know. Apparently Dust had incredible powers over the elements, with this new power humanity was able to fight back and drive the Grimm away.

Unfortunately it could only do so much as each kingdom of Remnant had to keep the Grimm out of their lands, but no matter how hard they tried, the Grimm always seemed to find a way in.

I don't know how I ended up in this world, but I will find out who brought me here, so I can beat the living shit out of them.

"Yeah, wouldn't wanna be in the shoes of the guy who brought the kid to our world." Qrow said before drinking his flask.

"Still I am curious as to who brought him to Remnant, and for what purpose." Glynda ponders.

Ozpin gave a slight hum to himself while briefly turning to Salem, who's gaze was still fixed on Riddick. 'I can only think of one reason why.'

Anyway after arriving in the city, I was able to find a good enough hotel to crash in, thanks to the lien Imam gave me though I can't always relay on them forever. Eventually I'll need to find some type of job to earn enough money.

During my time here in the city I started patrolling at night, exploring the city to know the layout of the land, I plan to do the same with the kingdom of Vale, and hopefully visit the other kingdoms. While patrolling at night I ran into several crooks, thugs, rapists and the like so I gave those bastards a visit as the Quantum Ranger, while helping those they've terrorized.

The people I saved in this city were mostly Faunus, especially if their attackers happened to be either supporters of the Blue Sons, or members of the Blue Sons. Boy were the Faunus surprised to see me, a human, helping them after I really rained hell on those Blue Sons.

Me helping the victims has earned me a spot on the media, many of the victims mostly the Faunus had told the new reporters, how they were saved by a red and black warrior, naturally it was me who saved them.

Even so, whenever I'm wondering the city, I see a lot of people mistreating the poor Faunus, it was really sickening. This one time I saw these three brats picking on a little Faunus girl, a rabbit if I remember right, and let's just say I scared them so bad, they literally shit themselves and left a trail of piss in their wake. Of course the people who saw me sticking up for the girl, was absolutely terrified of me. Good. I want them to see what happens, when you mistreat a Faunus in my presence.

This made some of the adults chuckle at the expressions the people had, but they couldn't blame them. Riddick can be a very scary person if he wanted to be, and they saw first hand just how scary he can be. But in Salem's case seeing his intimidation demon in the other room, filled her with shivers of pleasure rather than fear.

Though I did do some research on the Schnee Dust Corporation, apparently the Schnee family is one of the biggest companies in Remnant, to supply every kingdom with Dust, however they did have some major bad blood, not just with the Faunus, but with some people too. I did some digging on the family, the head of the family household is a man named Jacques Schnee, his wife Willow Schnee was the only daughter of the Schnee family, before she was married too Jacques and had his last name changed. However, with Jacques running the show the tension between the Schnee family and the Faunus have only spiked over time.

I also found out they have three kids, an older daughter named Winter, a second daughter named Weiss and their only son Whitley. A rather shitty name to call their son, if you ask me.

Both Willow and Jacques felt a little insulted by Riddick's words on their son's name, which made Qrow chuckle loudly agreeing with the off worlder.

Anyway I had found out that Winter had defied her father to join a military branch, in the kingdom of Atlas, if I remember right was known to be the most technological kingdom in Remnant. Because of this, her little sister Weiss was declared to be the heir of the Schnee family.

From what Imam told me, that the people of Forever Haven used to work for the Schnee Dust Company, until they couldn't take the abuse anymore. Tch, fucking slave drivers the lot of them.

I did promised myself that I would personally meet the Schnees, but because of their status, it won't be easy. Here I am, walking outside in the city, pondering as to how I can meet one of the Schnees. As I passed by an alleyway I noticed a poster stapled on the wall. And on the poster, was the daughter of the infamous family herself. From what I can see, Weiss is a pale skinned young girl with pale blue eyes and long white hair pulled back into an off-center bun tail and pinned with an icicle shaped tiara.

She wears a thigh-length strapless dress with a faint color gradation from white to pale blue at the hem. A small piece of black lace sits in the front of her neckline and the hem of the dress is scalloped and stitched to resemble snowflakes, with layers of white tulle under the skirt. Over this she wears a bell sleeved bolero with the same color gradation as her dress from shoulder to wrist, lined in red and with a ruffled collar.

I'll admit, she's a beautiful girl at first glance, but beauty is only skin deep. On the poster it said that she'll be appearing in Vale for a concert tonight. "Hmm." I hummed to myself. 'Perhaps I should pay Weiss Schnee a visit.'

(End background music)

Hearing that Riddick was gonna pay their daughter a visit, Willow was worried on whether or not Riddick might actually try to hurt her daughter, after hearing about how her family's company under her husband's rule, has been treating the Faunus.

"You...you don't think he'll hurt the poor girl...do you?" Katherine asked feeling worried about the young girl.

"I wouldn't put it past him to do it." Raven remarked which earned her a jab from Summer.

It was dark in the city of Vale, most of the people were either at home or at work, however a large number of people were gathering at a large building. It was a stadium which was holding the concert Weiss Schnee was scheduled to perform. Many people were taking there seats and waited for the show to begin.

Suddenly they all heard the announcer speaking. "Ladies and Gentlemen. Please give a warm welcome to, Weiss Schnee." The audience were cheering and clapping as the curtains rose and revealed the young heiress herself.

Weiss smiled at the crowed and waved at them. Soon a piano started to play, and the crowd became silent. Weiss closed her eyes took a deep breath and began to sing.

"Mirror, tell me something, Tell me who's the loneliest of all?"

Hearing Weiss singing before the people on the screen filled Willow with pride. Willow always believed that Weiss would become a great singer one day, and now here she is, performing in front of a live audience.

"Your daughter has a lovely voice." Summer commented with a smile on her lips.

"Indeed. She has the voice of an angel to perform to the people." Kali said agreeing with Summer.

This made Willow smile at the comments of the other two women. "Thank you. I'm glad my daughter will be able to achieve her dream."

With that they turned back to the screen only for them to notice a very familiar person hiding in the shadows.

High above the stage, standing on the catwalk was Riddick who managed to sneak inside the stadium, to see the young heiress sing. The young ranger wanted to see the young heiress in person, but with the bodyguards around her it would be difficult, so he has to find another way to get close to her. To see whether or not if she's like her father as everyone else pictured her to be.

"Mirror, tell me something, Tell me who's the loneliest of all?"

"Heh, gotta admit she's got a nice voice." Riddick said to himself. Then he saw something in the darkness at the corner of his eye. Thanks to his ability to see in the dark, he saw someone on the other side of the catwalk, and it didn't look like a worker.

He saw the figure putting a large duffle bag down next to him, unzipped it and pulled something out. The figure was assembling something, Riddick couldn't make it out at first, but when the man finished it Riddick's eyes went wide. The man had assembled a sniper rifle, stood over the railing of the catwalk, and lowered the rifle downward. Riddick followed the barrel and saw that it was aiming for Weiss! 'Shit! An assassin!'

Hearing Riddick's comment about Weiss eased Willow's worries, but they only rose back when they saw a sniper aiming his weapon at Weiss!

"Oh, no! Weiss!" Willow gasped with her hands over her mouth.

"Shit, he's gonna kill her!" Ghira snarled.

Glaring at the assassin, Riddick decided to take action and save the young heiress's life. "Oh, no you don't."

The assassin was looking through the scope of the rifle, seeing the young Schnee as she sang before the audience. He was hired to take out the young girl by an anonymous client, who the guy/gal was, he didn't know or cared. But they did promised him a lot of lien if he killed the little bitch. And he was going to, as soon as she finishes her performance, he'd pop her little head wide open.

However he suddenly saw a flash of light at the corner of his eye, he looked to his right, only to see a red gloved fist ramming straight to his face. The assassin fell down and held his face. He looked up and saw it was the Quantum Ranger who punched him, Riddick in his ranger suit towered over the assassin cracking his knuckle. "Ok bub you only have one chance, who the hell are you and why're you targeting Weiss?"

The assassin only grunts in anger at the ranger's sudden attack. "Sorry pal, can't tell you why I'm after the little Schnee bitch." The assassin said while reaching his knife behind his back. "Who I am though, the name's Deadeye!" The assassin pulled his knife out and lunges at the ranger.

"Fear of what's inside of me; Tell me can a heart be turned to stone?"

Riddick easily dodged Deadeyes knife strikes, grabs his writs and twists it hard enough to make him drop the knife. Riddick then gave an uppercut, only for Deadeye to move back and gave a left hook which struck the ranger's helmet. Staggering from the punch, Riddick held his arms up to block the assassin's punches.

"You should've minded your damn business!" Deadeye said before he gave a right roundhouse kick. But the ranger caught the man's leg and spun him around and slammed him on the catwalk.

"It becomes my business when a jackass like you, targets little girls!" Riddick snarled.

Seeing Riddick attacking the assassin, Deadeye as he calls himself, made a majority of the adults heave a sigh of relief, more so for Willow feeling grateful that he stopped the hitman from killing her daughter.

"C'mon lad, get him!" Thor exclaimed with a wide grin.

"Get him in the sweet spot!" Sif called out along with her husband.

The only ones who weren't cheering were Raven, who was still on edge over the fact that the queen of the Grimm was with them, had a small smile on her lips from watching the young man fighting. And Salem who only watched on with her smile growing slowly, the young man interested her greatly, the way he fights, the outlook he has on life and those eyes sent shivers down her spine. Truly an amazing specimen for her to behold.

"Mirror, mirror what's behind you? Save me from the things I see! I can keep it from the world, Why won't you let me hide from me?"

Riddick had Deadeye pinned on the catwalk, as he was punching his face over and over again. Deadeye was able to kick the ranger back, got up and tried to tackle him. Both of them started to wrestle each other, hoping to gain the upper hand from the other.

"Mirror, mirror, tell me something, Who's the loneliest of all? I'm the loneliest of all."

Riddick held Deadeye against the railing of the catwalk, just in time to hear the audience cheering and clapping as Weiss finished her song. "Dammit!" Deadeye snarled, angry that he failed to kill Weiss.

"Thank god she's safe." Willow breathed out, feeling very relieved that her daughter was safe, the same can be said for her husband who placed a hand on her shoulder.

Riddick brought him close to his helmet, glaring at him through the lens. "Now I'll ask you again, who hired you to kill Weiss?" He demanded as his grip on the would-be assassin became tight.

"Hey, hey, hey, guy, guy easy! I don't know the guy ok? Hell I didn't even see his or her face, they only contacted me through my scroll. They offered me a lot of lien, if I were to take out that Schnee bitch after her performance. But thanks to you, I lost that chance!" Deadeye snarled at him. His angry sneer however just turned into a grin. "Thankfully however, I have a back up plan."

"What do you mean?" Riddick questioned.

Deadeye reached into his pocket, and pulled out a small device and pressed a button on it. On the screen there was a timer which had 1:30 on it.

"A little plan I just cooked up in case things went south. I just planet a bomb under the car that Schnee bitch takes, should she survive my sniper rifle, she'll go up in smoke." Deadeye said with a twisted smile forming and started to chuckle.

Hearing what Deadeye said made the adults worry again, Willow felt her blood turning cold when he mentioned a bomb under Weiss' car.

Growling loudly, Riddick grabbed the man's head and twisted hard enough, which earned him a loud snapping sound from his neck. Kick the dead body over the railing, Riddick ignored the startled cries from the audience and made a mad dash outside to save Weiss before it's too late.

Just outside the stadium, Weiss was walking over to her limo, where her butler Klein was waiting for her. "That was marvelous milady, you preformed that beautifully." Klein smiled at the young heiress.

Weiss smiled back. "Thank you Klein. Now, let's head for the nearest bullhead and return home, so that I may train for applying for Beacon."

As soon as Klein was about to open the door, they suddenly heard a beeping sound. And it was getting louder. "What the?" Weiss said before hearing someone shouting.

"GET BACK!"

Then she felt someone tackling both her and Klein away from the limo when...

BOOOOM!

"WEISS!" Willow cried out as tears were flowing from her eyes.

Everyone, save for Raven and Salem, held their breath waiting for the smoke to clear from the screen. Willow prayed silently to whoever was listening that her daughter would be alright, fortunately her prayers were answered.

The limo had exploded, sending parts of the now destroyed car and smoke everywhere. Both Weiss and Klein were coughing when the smoke hit their faces, fanning the smoke away from her face Weiss was able to get a look at her savior, and gasped at a familiar red and black warrior. Riddick had made it in time, had he been any later the girl would've surely died. Turning back at her, he looked her over from head to toe to see if she had any injuries, fortunately she had none.

"You ok?" He asked her using the voice of Eric Myers the same voice he used on Blake on the train.

Weiss slowly nodded at the red and black ranger, still taking in his full appearance. She had heard a lot about him from the news on TV, the Quantum Ranger was becoming someone of a hero in Vale. He had singlehandedly fought and defeated all manner of criminals, from robbers, kidnappers, rapists, murders even members from the White Fang and the Blue Sons. While she may not be a big fan of vigilantes and his method of handling those vile barbarians, her respect for him grew the minute he saved her life.

Seeing Weiss and Klein alive and well made everyone let out a major sigh of relief. "He saved them, thank goodness he made it." Helen said with a relieved smile.

A small sob caught everyone's attention as they saw Willow wiping her tears from her eyes. "S-She's safe...thank god!" She said through her weeping. Willow felt eternally grateful to Riddick for saving her daughter's life, despite the hardships she has with her husband, she still had to remain strong for her children, if she were to meet him she would pay him whatever he'd want. Maybe even ask him to marry her daughter.

Turning back to her Riddick began to explain what happened. "Someone hired an assassin by the name of Deadeye to kill you when your show was over. Luckily I was around at the time, and stopped him, though in doing so he rigged your limo to explode. Had I not arrived any sooner, you would've been killed."

Weiss only looked at him with admiration, for the longest time her family was on the receiving end of all the negativity, from both human and Faunus alike, having the name Schnee wasn't easy for her she always tried her best to carry on, despite all the scorn from those around her. Every since her family's company has been attacked by the White Fang her view on the Faunus was becoming darker, but not as dark as her father's view on them.

Truthfully, it began to scare her. Every time she looks at herself in the mirror, she can see herself becoming like her father. While she's out and about she may act strong to those around her, while getting nothing but scorn from them, especially the Faunus, but when she's at home in her room she would often cry to herself.

This bit of information made Willow cry even harder, hearing about the hardships her daughter was going through, all the hate and scorn she got from others due to what her husband had done to their company, it broke her heart to know her daughter was suffering. "Oh, Weiss..." Willow utters as tears continued to fall.

Even Jacques was shocked to hear about what his daughter's going through, was his daughter really suffering that much?

Just because she may act high and mighty, didn't mean all those words affect her, in fact they hurt her very deeply. What hurt her even more so was the state her mother was in, once a proud woman, now reduced to a drunken shell of her former self after what her father had done to her family's company.

All she wanted was to bring back the honor in her family, try and bring forth a good company, a better company that treats others like equals, that's all she yearned for and why she's training to become a huntress.

So when she heard news about the Quantum Ranger, she would secretly grab any clippings and information about him. While he may not be biased to the Faunus like her father, she wasn't sure how he'd feel about her family, while others who have a strong dislike for her would've let her die, this ranger saved her life. Uncaring about her status in life and saw her as a normal person.

Suddenly they heard the sirens from the police, no doubt someone called in the explosion. "Well, looks like my work here's done." The Quantum Ranger said before turning to walk away. But before he could leave he looked back at her, his visor staring deeply in her icy blue eyes.

"You take care of yourself miss Schnee. Until then, see ya!" With a quick flick of his fingers giving her a salute, he turned and jumped high in the air and landed on the rooftop of a nearby building and vanished into the night.

While Klein was dealing with the police, Weiss only stared at where the ranger had vanished. She felt a new wave of determination rising within her. Clenching her fist tightly, her eyes were hard with a newfound resolve and nodded firmly. 'I'll become strong, just as strong as you. And when I do, I hope to meet you again; Quantum Ranger.'

With that said and done, Weiss and Klein were escorted to a bullhead for Atlas. On the way Weiss was beginning to make plans for her training, she will become strong. Not just to restore her family's honor, but to break free from the shackles her father placed on her, and take control of her own fate. And hopefully free her mother from her despair.

The Schnee matriarch was silent. Her daughter had gained a newfound resolve and determination to set things right, but what confused her was the last part, what did her daughter mean freeing her from despair? Had something bad happen to her in the future? This worried her, whatever happened to her in the future, she'll make sure to not let it happen.

A week had passed since I saved Weiss's live. When word on her assassination attempt hit the news, her father told the reporters that he wouldn't stop at nothing, until he found the ones who hired the hit.

Hmph, sure he may seem like a caring father and that, but I can easily see right through him. He only cares about the fortune, and keeping his daughter alive in order to keep up the nice-guy act. Anyway, right now I'm taking a little stroll around town, with it being so quiet, I can get a little me-time. Then I heard some music nearby, looking over I saw a local bar with flashes of lights from the windows, and music blaring through the walls. This wasn't exactly the first time I've been to a bar, and it won't be the last.

So I went over to the bar, and the doors opened themselves for me. As I walked in, I saw several people on the dance floor, dancing to the beat of the music, others sitting at tables and the bar drinking. The color of the inside was mostly black, red and white. Then up ahead was a guy wearing a teddy bear mask playing the turntables. I walked up to the bar, took a stool and the tender turned his gaze at me. "Give me whatever you got." I said to him. Nodding to me, the tender left to bring me a drink.

"Heh, well whaddya know? Looks like our boy knows how to cut lose." Qrow smirked while sipping his flask.

This made some of the women frown at this. "Don't you think he's a bit young to even drink?" Katherine questioned with a disproved frown.

"He shouldn't even be going in there in the first place." Summer pouted. She didn't like the fact that Qrow would drink himself silly, especially when he visits, last thing she wanted was for him to drink in front of her daughters.

As I waited I looked around the club, seeing all sorts of people here. Then I noticed someone coming, I narrowed my eyes to get a good look at him. And who I saw, made me scowl. The man who walked in, wore a red-lined white suit with long black pants and black shoes. His accessories included a small gray scarf, black gloves with buckled sleeves, and a black bowler hat with a small feather tucked into its red band. I already know this guy, Roman Torchwick, a wanted man on Remnant who's known to be the biggest criminal mastermind in the world. I ran into this guy plenty of times as the Quantum Ranger, and somehow the little weasel always seemed to escape.

I saw him walking further into the club, when I noticed three other people walking toward him. The first one, a man, wore a black vest over a white dress shirt, a red tie, black gloves and black dress pants. He has gray eyes, short black hair, along with a matching beard and mustache. The other two were girls, and from I can see, they appear to be identical. Twins perhaps?

The one on right wore a white, strapless dress with cyan lining. Her accessories include a large white flower hairpin above her left ear, a white feather scarf, a silver pad with cyan and red feathers on her left shoulder, white gloves, a small silver bracer over the glove on her left arm, a bow in the center of the top-most part of her bodice, a silver chained belt, cyan wings on the lower back, and long white boots with blades at the heels.

While the one on the left wore a red strapless dress with black lining. Her accessories include large red and white feathers above her left ear, black fur hanging off her shoulders and held at the front by a dark gray chain, red gloves, a black bow tied around her waist, and long red boots with very high stiletto heels.

Roman and those three people stopped before one another, and began to have a talk. 'Hmmm, I'll have to see what you're up to later, Roman.' The tender handed me a glass of liquor, I silently thanked him and started sipping my drink. You must be wondering why someone my age, would be drinking like this. Well, when you live with a group of marines most of your life, before going solo, you tend to do things with them. As I sipped my drink, I felt someone approaching beside me.

"Hey there handsome, what's a guy like you doing here all by yourself?"

(Insert Procrastination- The Big O OST)

The whole void was filled with a rather upbeat music with horns blaring, some felt it helped liven up the mood in the void, especially after the heart scare Willow had from her daughter almost dying.

"At least we know why he's in a bar." Kali noted.

"Seems like growing up around these...marines, has left an impression on him." Ozpin said while sipping his mug.

"Still he shouldn't even be in there in the first place." Summer frowns with her arms crossed.

Before anyone from her family could retort is when they heard someone calling out to him. And who they saw made the members of team STRQ gawk when they saw who it was.

I looked to my left, and I raised a brow to who I saw. The girl is without a doubt, a fairly hot and rather beautiful looking one at that. She's a fair-skinned young girl with lilac eyes and bright golden hair worn loose that fades to pale gold at the tips with a cowlick sticking out at the top. She wears a tan jacket that bares her lower stomach, with golden brown piping and short, puffy sleeves with black cuffs that feature two gold buttons.

She also wears a brown belt covered by a pleated brown piece of material reaching from hip to hip around the back of her waist, with her emblem emblazoned on the right-most pleat in gold. Underneath this is a longer, white, asymmetrical piece of material reaching to her knee on the right side, as well as a pair of black mini-shorts. She wears brown, knee-high boots and orange over-the-knee socks, with the right sock pushed down just below the knee. A lavender bandana is tied around her left knee. An orange infinity scarf and black fingerless gloves complete her outfit.

Summer, Tai and Qrow felt their jaws dropping when they saw a much older version of Yang on the screen. Even Raven was surprised to see her daughter as a teenager. She looked exactly like her with the colors of her former husband Tai in the mix.

"Y-Y-Yang!?" Summer gasped.

"Is...is this young lady someone you know?" An asked while looking back and forth between them and the screen.

"She's my daughter. My first daughter I had with Raven, before she left us that night." Tai answered, his eyes still glued onto the screen. She looks like a carbon copy of Raven in every way with his personality all rolled into one. 'I wonder...is she still hellbent on looking for Raven?'

Raven only stares with her eyes slightly wide. It has been awhile since she last saw her little girl, now here she is, a future version of her daughter no less, before her very eyes.

The other adults minus Salem only stared at team STRQ for a brief moment before returning to the screen.

From what I can guess, she appears to be my age or a year younger than me. She definitely has both the charm and the looks, that would easily turn several heads of overly hormonal men in her direction.

"Just having a drink is all. Was there something I can do for you?" I asked her before taking a sip of my drink.

She just shook her head. "Nothing really. Name's Yang, Yang Xiao Long by the way." She introduced herself, while stretching out her hand at me.

"Riddick S. Rexton." I replied back while shaking her hand.

She tilted her head and raised a brow. "Riddick huh? That's an interesting name." She grabbed another stool and sat beside me. I merely grunted and sipped my drink again. While I was trying to enjoy my peace, I could feel her eyes on me, staring at me like a hungry lioness eyeing potential prey. Her grin seemed to slowly widen when I turned my eyes at her.

"Like what you see?" She said while leaning forward and smooshing her breasts against the counter top. I knew she was trying to seduce me, I've seen plenty of women like her back on earth, both young and old trying to get me in the sack. Sadly, I don't have time for things like that.

"Just wondering why you're staring at me is all." I said not being affected by her charm.

Just seeing how forward Yang was to Riddick made Tai grit his teeth, he didn't like how his daughter was acting around a total stranger, even if he did save the lives of others. Summer was feeling mixed about this. On one hand she was happy to see her adopted daughter grow to into a beautiful young lady, but on the other hand she wasn't too thrilled on how she was acting.

"Is she...trying to seduce him?" Helen slowly asked, feeling put off by the young blonde on the screen.

"It looks that way." Achilles said with an uneasy tone.

Even Raven blinked a few times before sighing to herself. 'Is this what's become of Yang after I left? An amorous teenager thinking with her libido?!'

However the young man's words merely caught them by surprise. Judging by his reaction it would seem he's dealt with this kind of thing before, and wasn't even affected by Yang's charms.

"He must have incredible patience to endure her charm." Li blinked with his wife nodding.

"...I'm not sure whether I should be relieved or offended by this." Tai said with a small frown. 'I mean, while I am grateful he isn't ogling my daughter like a piece of meat, the least he could've done was complement her.'

This seemed to make her drop her grin, and gain a surprised look. Shaking her head she placed her left arm on the counter, and placed her head on her knuckles. "Nothing, it's just seeing someone with black hair and red eyes like you, kinda reminds me of my uncle."

Now this perked my interest. "Your uncle?" I questioned.

She nodded. "Yup. His name's Qrow Brawnen, my uncle has black hair and red eyes like you, though now that I think of it." She suddenly leaned a little too close to my face, her lilac eyes staring deeply into my blood red eyes.

"Your eyes are a lot darker than his." She said before back away, which I inwardly sighed in relief. "But anyway, you with that hair and eye color and drinking at a bar, reminds me a lot of him."

I slowly nodded and returned to my drink, or would have, if she hadn't suddenly wrapped her arms around my left arm. "Hey, Riddick care to have a little dance?" She asked while smashing her breasts against my arm.

I shook my head. "No thanks. Not much of a dancer."

Yang only pouted. "Ah, c'mon, it'll be fun." She gave an extra push which caused my arm to go, in between her bust. "I'll make it worth your while." She said with a seductive smile while liking her lips.

Again, I shook my head. "Some other time perhaps."

"You know she does have a point. He does have the same eye color as you Qrow. If a little darker." Summer commented.

Qrow only gave a small smirk. "Perhaps. He could be mistaken for a relative of ours." He said while sipping his flask.

Some of the adults chuckled at the young man's refusal to dance with Yang. Raven only rolled her eyes at her daughter's behavior around him, while for some reason her brow twitched every now and then when she saw Yang being forward to Riddick. 'That daughter of mine better not think of trying anything with him. She doesn't even deserve a man like him!' She blinked in surprise at the sudden thought that popped in her mind. 'W-What am I even thinking?! She's my daughter, why should I care of who she falls for?'

"I wouldn't mind seeing him dance." Salem said to herself, while picturing herself in the young man's arms, dancing under the moonlight.

Yang pouted again and removed herself from my arm. Then she suddenly turned her eyes to Roman and the guy he was talking to. Leaning closer to her I said. "This guy owe you or anything?"

She shook her head before turning to me. "No, not him. More like the guy with those two girls, his name's Junior Xiong, he's the owner of this bar."

Heh, Junior? Really? A man his age and he has such a name like Junior?

"He's the reason why I came here. He has some information I need, but when I saw you I almost completely forgotten why I'm here." She gave me a smirk and a wink.

Finishing my drink, I stood up and stretched myself. "Well if that's the case, what say we both go over to old Junior there, and say hello?" I said to her. She looked at me with a confused expression, but when she noticed the growing smirk on my lips she had a confident smile and nodded.

(End background music)

"Somehow I have a feeling this is gonna get ugly." Ghira said knowing that something crazy was gonna happen.

"No doubt about it." Kali nods.

We made our way over to where Roman and Junior were, though whatever it was those two were talking about, Roman had left by the time we arrived. No doubt they were talking about business. Heh, no matter I'll let Roman enjoy his freedom, for now.

Both Yang and I stopped at the counter top when Junior sent those twins away. "Strawberry Sunrise, no ice." Yang ordered before quickly adding, "oh, and one of those little umbrellas"

"She's WAY too young to even be drinking such things!" Summer exclaimed with a disapproval expression. "If I catch her doing that at the house she's so GROUNDED!"

I only shook my head when she ordered her drink, then turned my sight on Junior who was beside her.

"Aren't you and your boyfriend a little too young to be in this club, blondie?" Junior asked turning himself to the young bombshell.

I only scoffed at what he said. Me? Her boyfriend? Dude, we only just met like a second ago.

Yang however only giggled. "Aren't you a little old to have a name like Junior?"

I gave a small chuckle. "She got you there, pal."

"So you know who I am. You got a name, sweetheart?" Junior asked.

"Yes, Junior, I've got several." She said with an all too sweet smile. Uh oh, I know where this is going. "But instead of sweetheart, you can just call me sir!" Right before he knew it, Yang grabbed Junior by the balls in a vice-like grip, making Junior here whimper in pain.

The men in the void all winced and almost crossed their legs when they saw Yang grabbing Junior by the balls. The women gave a chuckle at this while Raven had a small grin forming, nodding in approval of her daughter's action.

I grinned and started chuckling at the man's pathetic face, the moment I saw Yang, I knew I sensed a fighting spirit around her. I met a lot of MMA women, as well as female soldiers back home on earth. I even had the pleasure of going toe-to-toe with them. I can respect a woman who can hold their own in a fight. 'This girl's got claws, I like that in a woman who can take charge.'

'Should we ever meet child, then I will gladly take charge of you~' Salem inwardly purred over the thought of having Riddick swear loyalty to her.

"People say you know everything." She then pulled out her scroll, which I'm familiar with since living here in Vale for a couple of weeks and got myself one and quickly learned how to use it, she brings it to his face and from what I can see, a picture of a black haired woman wearing white clothing on her scroll. "Tell me where I can find her and I'll let you go." She demanded with a no-argument tone.

"You might wanna answer the lady, Junior. I can tell that she won't take kindly to a liar." I told him while enjoying his suffering, damn, makes me wish I had a bowel of popcorn.

Junior glanced at the screen, face contorted with pain. "I've never seen her before, I swear!" He said with a slightly higher voice.

Yang however wasn't happy with his answer. "Excuse me?" She seethed and squeezed his balls harder.

"I swear, sir!"

I chuckled again, however I noticed several men wearing black suits and red neck-ties gathering around us, red swords drawn out and slowly closing in. I narrowed my eyes, already knowing that a big fight's gonna break out, heh, seeing these idiots surrounding me reminds me of those Blue Son bastards I killed in Forever Haven. I'm gonna enjoy breaking them.

Yang kept her eyes trained on Junior. "Hm, looks like we have an audience. This must be kind of embarrassing for you, huh?" She said with a smug smirk. "Awkward."

"Oh I'm sure. Having your balls being crushed before your men ain't doing much for your image." Qrow smirked, agreeing with his niece.

"If she were to squeeze a little harder she would've made him squeal like the little pig he is." Raven said with a smirk of her own, which frightened some of the adults in the void.

Junior strained from the pain. "Listen, blondie-sir. If you and your boyfriend want to make it out of this club alive, I suggest you let me go. Now!"

Yang granted his wish and lets go of his balls. Junior sighed heavily with relief, only to glare at her. "You'll pay for that!" He snarled, before putting on sunglasses and storming of. Though, Yang followed him, hands behind her back, with me in tow.

"Oh Junior, I was just playing with you! Don't be so sensitive!" She said innocently. "Come on, let's kiss and make up. Okay?"

...Wait, what? Is she serious?

Junior pauses. "Huh? ...Uh, okay." He then leans in, with his lips all puckered up.

Just before they got a little too close for my liking, quicker than lightning, I socked Junior in the face breaking his glasses and sending him flying across the bar. He shatters the glass overhead, lands near a countertop and an empty bottle comically falls on his head.

Yang with a gobsmacked expression, turned to me while I was massaging my knuckle. "What? Like I was gonna let that mutt go and take your first kiss." I said to her with my arms crossed.

When they heard Yang offering Junior a kiss, Tai looked about ready to explode, if it weren't for Summer calming him down. What came next made everyone laugh when Riddick slugged Junior's face. Even Salem let out a small laugh at this.

"That boy's alright in my book!" Tai grinned with a thumbs up. Feeling happy that Riddick prevented his daughter from kissing a scum bag like Junior.

(Insert The Words- The Big O OST)

This however only made the men-in-black rejects, surround us with their weapons at the ready. I turned my back to her, and made got close enough for our backs to touch. "You've got your wish, Yang. Looks like we'll be having that dance after all." I told her with my eyes glaring daggers at the thugs before me.

Yang looked over her shoulder and grinned. "Thanks, I wouldn't have it any other way. Though, you might wanna get back. Cause this party's going out with a yang!"

Summer, Raven and Qrow all groaned loudly due to Yang's terrible pun. "I swear Tai. Your puns are a very bad influence on your daughter." Qrow said with his palm on his face.

"Oh c'mon, that was a great pun!"

"No it wasn't."

With a yang? I looked over my shoulder, only to see something which completely blew me away. Her once golden bracelets started to transform, they covered Yang's hands and forearms gauntlets, acting as arm guards. The gauntlets have a golden color and the shells inside are red and orange.

She thrusts her right fist forward, and back as if loading a bullet in a rifle, but what caught my eye is that the top of her gauntlet slides back, and ejected a red and orange shell. This girl has shotguns in her gauntlets?! She jumped high into the air, giving a couple of flips, before pulling her right fist back, and a wide grin on her face.

Taking her advice, I jumped out of the way, just in time to see her slamming her fist into the ground. The aftershocks from the impact, created a ripple on the floor, and sending Juniors men in the air. I was wide eyed when I saw the power behind that punch, and what else caught my eye is that she was literally on fire! And yet it didn't seemed to hurt her or anything. Standing up, Yang had a grin and charged.

"Heh, now that's something you don't see everyday." I said to myself and thrust my elbow backward, striking one of Junior's men in the face. Then I did a spin kick and sent him flying to his buddies. Bringing my bowie out I charged at the thugs, one of them brought his sword overhead and tried to slice me in half, but I blocked it with my knife and Spartan kicked him in the gut.

Another thug tried to come from behind me, but I grabbed the guy I kicked, spun around and slammed him against his partner. I then ran straight for another thug and as I did, I jumped and slammed my knee in his chin, I rolled over him while grabbing him by his head, and as my feet hit the floor and flung him across the bar and crashed against a glass pillar.

Some of the adults, mainly Thor and Sif, were cheering out for the young man on the scree. While Salem watched with her smile growing more and more.

Then I dodged one thug's axe when he tried to take my head, followed by another one with a bat. I swiftly dodged their pitiful attacks and blocked them with my bowie, then I swung my blade down at the guy with the axe, severing it completely. As he cried out in pain I grabbed the axe and used the back end of it, and slugged him in the face, then I kicked the bat wielding man in black in his balls, right before I gave a backwards spin kick.

As I fought my share of these guys, I looked over and saw Yang making quick work of them. Her weapons created powerful explosions when she punched the men in black, since they were part shotguns I figured they had to hurt like all hell, even if they weren't lethal. Her fighting style is somewhat similar to kickboxing, I should know I also trained in that fighting style. Along with several others. Though, I noticed that she seems to be using her fists a lot more than her kicks. Hmm, she could use a bit more training on that.

I suddenly ducked as bullets zoomed over my head, I quickly took cover behind a glass pillar and saw that the DJ player, brought out a Thompson machine gun and started shooting. "YANG!" I shouted out.

"I'm on it!" She exclaimed as she easily dodged his bullets and used her gauntlets to propel herself up, and kicked the DJ player in the head. Yang then fired her gauntlet again which sent her elbow striking him in the gut. Grabbing him she slammed his head on the turntable, getting under him she hoisted him up and blasted him with her gauntlets. I saw him landing before me as I got out of my cover, I turned to the fiery blonde and flashed her a grin and thumbs up, which she returned. Then I saw those two twins walking towards me.

"Melanie, who're these two?" The girl in red asked her sister who had her arms crossed.

"I dunno Miltia, but we should teach them a lesson."

I heard Yang grunting as she reloaded her shells. I put my bowie away and brought out my jagdkommando daggers, I turned to Yang and said. "I got the girl in red, if you got the one in white."

She grins at me as she got into a fighting stance. "Sounds fair to me." Then she charges and she collided with the girl in white, Melanie if I heard right, which left me with her twin Miltia. Miltia with her claws raised charges at my, and would've taken my head had I not used my daggers to block the first strike, then she started slashing me with her claws and I had to block them. She swings her right claw at me but I blocked it, and thrust my other dagger at her but she dodged it, then she brings her left claw downward forcing me to jump back.

"The kid's good, very good, if that fight with that assassin before was anything to go by." Achilles noted with a nod.

"Indeed. If he's this good without aura, imagine how strong he'll be with aura." Glynda said with a small smile.

"Probably the most powerful huntsman Remnant has ever seen." Ozpin declared while sipping his mug.

Though, it left me open as she lunges at me with both claw aiming for my chest. I then timed my move right, and leaned to my left, jammed my dagger in between her claw and forced it down, then I did the same with her other claw when she tried to swing it at me. As I held her claws with my daggers she suddenly got a little too close to me.

"You know, it's rather a shame that I have to fight a handsome guy like you." She said with a small grin forming. "Had I met you sooner, I could've given you a pleasant night."

I grunted and smirked. "Sorry lady. I'm not one who does a girl on their first date." I pushed her back then heel kicked her, and then I gave an uppercut sending her in the air and spin kicked her. I saw her flying across the bar and crashed against a wall. When I saw her head hanging I knew she got knocked out. "At least buy me dinner and maybe see a movie first."

This made some of the adults chuckle at their brief talk.

Then I turned to see Yang having already taken care of Melanie. I was about to walk over to her when I saw Junior appearing, with a bazooka in hand. "You two are gonna pay for this!" He said before taking aim and fired multiple rockets.

Me and Yang jumped back to avoid the rockets, Yang then started shooting her gauntlets at the rockets, which bought me time to go for Junior who converted his bazooka into a large bat. I struck with my dagger which he blocked, then I swung my other dagger at him, this time I was able to land a hit. Though it only scratched his arm. He grunted before giving me a shove and hitting me in the head, and struck me at my side sending me flying.

I landed on the ground feeling my head pounding, and the ringing in my ears. I slowly got up just in time to see Yang using her gauntlets to block Junior's bat, but when he swung it at her again it caused her to stumble back. Using this to his advantage he gave a strong swing of his bat and sent the blonde fist-fighter flying and crashing into a glass table.

Running to her I stopped at her side, and grabbed her arm to lift her up. "You ok, Yang?" I asked her.

Looking at me she gave a smile. "Yeah, I'm alright. Just stand back and watch me take this guy down." She told me as her smile turned into a full blown grin. To my amazement her hair seemed to come alive, and small flames were seen. Getting back on her feet, she slammed her fists together which created a shockwave, and her hair had erupted into a raging fire.

"Kick his ass firecracker!" Qrow cheered.

"So him no mercy!" Thor and Sif exclaimed with mad grins.

Even Raven had a predatory smile forming when she saw her daughter fighting the fool who owned the bar. However she paid more attention the Riddick on the screen. True, she saw how he fought in the first chapter, but seeing him fight always made her blood rush with excitement.

With a burst of speed Yang charged at Junior who fired off more rockets, Yang easily evaded the missiles and dodges Juniors swings. Then she let out a hail of punches at Junior, and each strike her gauntlets let out small burst of explosion. I was pretty damned impress on how strong she is, then to my awe and surprise I saw her lilac eyes turned bright red! She then gave a strong right hook to Junior, which destroyed his weapon and pushing him back. However I saw something in his right hand.

I narrowed my eyes and saw that in his hand, were a couple strands of golden hair. And the only person with golden hair in this place is...

"Dead man walking." I said to myself. If Yang is like any other women I've met before, who cares about her looks, then Junior here is in a world of pain.

Summer, Tai and Qrow knew exactly what comes next. Much like Raven, Yang goes ballistic if so much as a single strand of her hair is plucked, a trait she hasn't grown out of sadly.

I heard Yang gasp at the sight of her hair in his hand, then she let out a growl and somehow caused an even bigger explosion around her, her hair exploding into a ball of fire and the glass around us shattering from the shockwave. Then she charged at Junior like a pissed off African bull elephant, she gave a mighty yell and delivered a powerful right punch in his face.

(End background music)

The punch was powerful enough to send him flying out of the bar and landed outside. Yang jumped out of the window and I gave chase, as I got close to the window I heard another voice calling out.

"Yang? Is that you?"

"Oh! Hey sis!"

"What're you doing here?!"

"It's a long story." I heard Yang sighing loudly. Deciding to see who this sis of hers is, I jumped out of the window and landed on my feet. When I turned my gaze at Yang I saw who she was talking to. The girl was a little younger than Yang and I, I'd say she's 15 years old, at least. She's a fair-skinned young girl with silver eyes and black, neck-length, choppy hair that gradates to dark red at the tips.

The void was quiet. There wasn't a sound amongst them as most of the other adults turned their gaze to Summer, who stared wide eye at the screen at the girl who looked just like her.

"...Ruby...?" She utters softly.

"Ruby? Is...is she..."

"She's...my daughter...who I have with Summer when Raven left me and Yang years ago." Tai said while gripping the book tightly.

Like how my black hair has red in it. She wore a long sleeved thick black blouse with a high collar and red trim on the sleeves, a black waist cincher with red lacing up the front, and a black skirt with red trim. She also wears a pair of thick black stockings and black combat boots with red laces, red trim around the top and red soles. Her outfit is topped by a red hooded cloak fastened to her shoulders by cross-shaped pins.

The girl looks at me as I walked towards her and Yang. "Yang, who's he?" She asked the blonde beauty.

"Huh? Oh! Right. Riddick this is my sister, Ruby. Ruby this is Riddick. I just recently met him today." Yang introduced me to her sister.

Ruby, as Yang called her walked up to me, and stood on the tips of her toes. Barely going past my chin. As Ruby stared at me, as though she was studying me as I her, I gazed into her large silvery eyes they were so wide and filled with wonder, curiosity and most of all; innocence. This girl is by far the most innocent girl I've ever met, she's so pure she's practically radiating waves of purity from her being. And that... unsettles me greatly. There's no way anyone, least of all her, can be THIS pure. Not in a cruel world, especially with people like the Blue Sons running about.

'This girl won't survive in this hell.'

The way how Riddick thought of Ruby didn't sit too well for Summer, Tai or Qrow. Mainly Summer. Apparently he seemed to have some sort of problem with how Ruby is, personality wise, which is not surprising considering the life Riddick lives in. Still that didn't make things easy for Summer, for someone to think so little of her daughter.

Ruby tilts her head like a curious cat. After a minute she finally backs away from me. "Riddick, huh? That's an interesting name." She said with a bright smile then stretches her hand out to me. "Name's Ruby Rose."

I looked at her hand with a raised brow. I'm still not sure how there can be someone her age, having this much purity, and not change as the years pass. Well no matter, once she sees just how cruel and dark this world is, she'll have to see things differently.

I then grasped her hand and shook it. "Riddick S. Rexton."

After telling her my name Ruby then went back to her sister, no doubt to talk to her about something. Suddenly I spotted something on a nearby rooftop from one of the buildings. I narrowed my eyes in hopes to get a good look, but it was too far for me to see. Looking back at the sisters, I decided to let them catch up with each other, and make my leave.

Seeing the young man leaving so soon made the adults raise a brow.

"I wonder who it was he saw." Kali utters.

"We'll soon find out." Ghira told her.

"Ugh, honestly Yang. Did you have to cause that much damage in there?" Ruby said while rubbing her face. In all her years of living with her sister Ruby knew that Yang's temperament would let to messes like this, which is why her father Taiyang, had sent her out to find Yang and bring her back home before she causes trouble, again.

"Hey! It ain't my fault that the guy pulled some strands of my hair." Yang said with her hands raised up defensively. "Besides I had Riddick helping me back there. Right Riddick?"

...

"Uh, Riddick?" Yang looked over her shoulder only to see the red-eyed teen, not where he should be. "Riddick? Riddick?!" She called out but no one answered back.

"Maybe he must've left for home. Like we should be doing right now." Ruby suggested.

"Yeah, you're right." Yang slumped her shoulder and walked towards her motorcycle with Ruby behind her.

Up on a rooftop across the street, was a shadowed figure watched the two half-siblings leave on their motorcycle, and turned its attention where the young man once stood. The figure had been following the young man for quite some time, having seen him fighting off a pack of Grimm, before turning into that red and black warrior, fight a group of those members of the Blue Sons and the musical assassin Scaramouche.

The young man had perked the figure's interest and was very curious about him, and wanted to learn more about him. However, it would seem the young man had left the moment the figure turned its attention at the two half-sisters.

As it kept searching for him, unaware that said young man was right behind the figure, with one of his knives drawn out and was so dangerously close to the back of the figure's neck.

"BOO!"

"GAH!"

The figure almost jumped out of its skin at the sudden sneak-up from behind, it managed to put some distance between itself from whoever had the gall to appear behind it with it's hand on the hilt of it's sword. But to the figure's surprise, it was that boy who it'd been following for weeks! The boy who caught it's eye had somehow managed to get on the building the figure was on, and snuck up from behind without making any sound at all!

The figure gritted it's teeth upon seeing the boy's red eyes glaring at it, his knife still pointing at her with a small scowl on his face.

'How the hell did he get behind me that fast?!'

Everyone saw just how quickly Riddick left the two girls by themselves, amazed that he didn't even make so much as a sound when he left, that was when they noticed the figure that was watching from the shadows. What happened next got a few laughs out of them when he scared the person when he suddenly appeared behind them.

"I gotta say. This boy is scary good." Ghira complimented.

"Indeed. He's very skilled in the art of stealth, more so than any other huntsman." Ozpin said with an impressed look on his face.

However what came next was a shocker to the members of team STRQ, when they saw exactly who was following Riddick.

'Hmm, well now ain't this interesting.' I managed to find my way to the building where I saw movement earlier, when Yang was talking to her sister Ruby. For awhile now I've felt like something's been following me, but I couldn't tell at first, that is until I saw this stranger here tried to hide from me.

(Insert The Storm- The Big O OST)

The person before me, who appears to be a woman, wore a shallow cut black and red dress, five necklaces with an assortment of beads, a red girdle-belt, and a pair of matching gauntlets, and a pair of fingerless gloves while on her left hand on her middle finger was a ring, which I couldn't make out at this point. An object that looks to be made from feathers hangs from the right side of her skirt. She also wears solid detached black leggings, and under her leggings she wears black boots, which have red high heels and soles.

But her most distinctive feature is a fearsome, full-face mask that resembles the face of a Grimm. The mask has four eye slits, further enhancing the character's inhuman appearance, the slits are black and red inside.

The woman lowered herself to the roof, having been surprised by me had made her put her guard up, as her hand was seen on her sword. The sheath however was a rather interesting looking one at that, but I turned my focus back on the woman who dared to follow me around, like some kind of stalker.

"...R-R-Raven..." Summer utters with wide eyes.

Both Tai and Qrow were silent as was Raven herself. The bandit leader wasn't sure why her counterpart was following the young man, what made her a little upset, is the fact that someone a few years younger than her managed to sneak up behind her without her even noticing.

"I don't know who you are my dear, and frankly I don't care. I know you've been following me since day one." I suddenly heard a small gasp from her, clearly she wasn't expecting me to notice her following me. "But I don't take to kindly to people following me, without a good enough reason." I slowly walked toward her my knife still aimed at her, as she tenses up and grasped her sword tightly. As I made my final step, like a cobra she lunged at me drawing her sword out, and tried to take my head.

However I was able to block it with my knife. She pulls back and started swinging her sword in a downward strike, but I quickly dodged it and blocked another strike. She jumps high in the air and points her sword downward, and lets gravity take her down.

I dodged it in time as the tip of her sword struck the roof, looking at me through her mask I lunged at her, and thrust my knife at her, which she pulled her head back and grabbed my hand. With my hand in her grasp she pulls her sword free and tries to kill me, only for me to bring out my jagdkommando out and block it.

We glared at each other for a minute until I gave her a head-butt, which caught her off guard and freed my hand. Then putting my knife away I gave a right punch to her masked face, then shot a straight left punch and delivered a powerful right uppercut, which sent her in the air and knocked her mask off. I grinned knowing I can finally see who this woman is. 'Gotcha.'

Raven stared silently as her counterpart was beaten by Riddick. She prided herself of being the best there is. To see herself being beaten by someone younger than her was a sting on her pride.

"Heh. First time of losing to a kid, eh Raven?" Qrow quips while ignoring his sister's glare.

The woman fell on the roof with a grunt, her mask landing and rolled away from her reach. Placing my jagdkommando away, I slowly made my way towards her as she supported herself on her arms. "Now then, perhaps I can see the face of the person who's been following me." I stood next to her, she then slowly turns herself to me but what I saw made my eyes go completely wide, and my jaw hanging from my mouth. 'What. The. Hell?'

(End background music)

As I looked down at her without her mask, she looks very similar to Yang, sharing the same facial shape, though her hair is more ravenous and black with red highlights, her eyebrows are a little bit higher, her complexion is significantly lighter and there are slight age lines under her eyes. Her hair is loosely done up in a ponytail, tied by a red shawl, with the ends resembling curved black feathers.

The Yang-look alike stared back at me with her eyes slightly wide, as I stared back her in complete confusion. Who is this woman and why does she look so much like Yang?!

In all her life Raven Branwen has always been able to overcome those, who think they could beat her in a fight, but they were sadly mistaken. Raven had always came out on top in her fights, because she's strong, and the strong always survives while the weak perish, that's just the way the world works.

However, never in her whole life had she ever came across someone like this young man, who she had been following for weeks would keep up with her. She could tell that he hasn't even unlocked his aura, and still he managed to hold his own, an admirable quality for a young man his age. To be able to notice her and sneak up on her is one thing, but to last this long against her, was something she could respect.

As she lied on the floor of the roof, she got a good look of his shocked face. His face was lean, sharp with a narrow chin, there was no imperfections or any trace of fat. His hair was abyssal black with a reddish tint at the edges in the style of fire, the right side of his face was covered by a long strand of his hair. But what really perked her interest, is that his eyes are red, red just like hers and her brother's, except they were a much darker shade. Almost like blood.

Still the fact that he has her cornered like this, meant she had to think of a way to escape and with his dumbfounded expression, she had only one option. 'I know I'm gonna regret this, but I won't be let you beat me that easily.'

This caught everyone's attention. Just what exactly is Raven's counterpart up to?

After what felt like an eternity I was able to speak. "Who... who're..." The before I could even react, the Yang look-alike suddenly leaps at me, grabs my head and then rams her lips against mine. 'What the hell?!' My eyes were wide as dinner plates, as this ravenette slithered her tongue passed my lips and collided with mine.

Everyone, save for Ozpin and Salem, were shocked when they saw Raven's counterpart kissing Riddick. The ones who were most shocked were Summer, Qrow, Tai and Raven herself. Their jaws were practically hanging and looked ready to fall off.

"...I...uh...wha..." Qrow fumbles his words, trying to absorb what he just saw.

Suddenly Summer tackles Raven to the ground and began shaking her teammate with furious tears running down her face. "RAVEN BRANWEN! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS, WHY WOULD YOU GO AND KISS SOMEONE YOUNGER THAN YOU, WHEN YOU STILL HAVE TAI, HOW COULD YOU?!" She exclaimed loudly, feeling betrayed over the fact that her friend, even though it's her friend's counterpart, kissing a young boy like that since she was married to Tai and have a child with him.

"Would...you...let...go...!" Raven shouted while trying to stop Summer. "That's...not...me...!"

Those who watched Summer almost strangling her friend heard the sound of sobbing, they turned and saw Tai sitting on the floor in a fetal position beside the couch, with an aura of sadness and depression around him.

Fortunately it didn't last for long and they calmed down. Somewhat that is.

In all my years of living, never once had I ever gone out on a date with any girl, much less kissed one. And she just stole my first kiss!

I felt one of her hands running through my hair, while the other was sliding down my arm. The hand suddenly was pulled away when...

"UGH!"

I grunted as a fist slugged me in my gut. The woman pulled away from the kiss to give me a somewhat sympathetic expression. I looked down and saw that she used the kiss to get close, in order to sucker punch me. Heh, clever girl.

"See? I knew I would never do something like that on purpose." Raven pointed out.

"But still, tricking him with a kiss just so your other self can sucker punch him seems kind of...underhanded you know?" Katherine said with a small frown with her husband nodding.

"I'm really sorry about that. But I have somewhere else to be." Then she removed her fist from my gut as I slightly stumbled back.

She turned and was about to make her escape, when I quickly recovered and lunged at her. She barely had any time to react when I crashed into her. We rolled on the floor of the roof for a good minute, when we finally stopped, I pinned her beneath me and my knife at her throat.

"That was a sneaky trick you pulled, but you're gonna have to do better than that." I said to her while leaning closer till I can see myself in her eyes. "Now, you gonna tell me who you are, and why you've been following me?"

The woman beneath me only glared at me, as I glared back at her, I can tell that she won't be easy to crack, but I have ways of making people talk. And she won't be an exception.

As we stared at each other for what felt like an eternity, I sensed multiple presence surrounding us. I looked away from the woman, only to see seven members of those Blue Sons bastards surrounding us, with guns pointed at us.

"Now what?"

"Oh no, not those clowns again!"

"They just don't know when to give up."

Salem recalled seeing the Blue Sons from the first chapters in the private room. Those pitiful fools and their superiority complex made them easy prey for one such as Riddick in her opinion.

Things were not going Raven's way. She hoped that little kiss she pulled would be enough to distract the boy and make her escape, unfortunately he recovered a lot quicker than she hoped, and now here she is beneath the boy she's been following, and now both of them were surrounded by those Blue Sons bastards. This was definitely not her day.

"Well lookie here boys, if it ain't the brat that caused us grief back at that damned village!" One of the said while pointing a rifle at the red-eyed teen.

"Ah, so it's you shitheads again." Riddick snarled. "Didn't you idiots learned your lesson, after I've kicked your sorry assess?"

"SHUT UP! You've caused enough pain to our brothers, and sisters! I've been looking forward to killing you, and now we'll finally get our wish." The Blue Son grunt said. Before they could do anything, something unexpected happened.

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

The sound of gunfire was heard. Both Raven and the boy looked themselves over thinking they were shot, but to their relief found no wounds. It was then they saw five of the Blue Sons falling down, with bullet holes in their heads.

"I thought he'd never shut up."

Everyone, save for Salem and Raven, were stunned to see the members of the Blue Sons suddenly getting killed. And saw that they were killed by their own members.

They turned as saw that it was the two other Blue Son members, were the ones who killed their partners, as the smoking gun barrels proved them right. "You know what to do." The first one said to his partner. Before Riddick knew it, he was tackled by the Blue Son soldier, with a surprising burst of speed and pinned him against a door leading to the building from the roof. Then Raven found herself being picked up by the second Blue Son soldier, and held her by the throat. "Now with those idiots out of the way, you're gonna answer some questions I want answered, and you're gonna give them to me whether you want to or not."

Raven was chocking when his hand was squeezing her throat, as she tried to break his hold on her. "Ack! A-And why would I...answer anything you have to ask?" She said glaring at the man choking her.

He suddenly smirked which somehow sent chills down her spine. "Maybe a little persuasion is in order." He turned to his partner and nodded.

The Blue Son soldier who held Riddick by his neck, began laughing which soon turned into a howling cackle, as he suddenly began to change right before their eyes. What should've been a man, was now a monster. With skin as black as night and bone white armor on his torso, biceps, thighs and his head had a skull like dome shape with two red marking on the sides. On its back had spines, while its mouth had no lips or even a nose as its lipless mouth had long dagger like teeth, while on the lower jaw had two small tusks growing on the sides of its chin, and two red eyes glaring down at the young boy.

Raven knew what this creature is, it was an Imp! A Grimm that belonged to a class of Grimm species known as the "Changelings", a type of Grimm that is known for transforming itself into the form of any human or Faunus, and easily infiltrate cities and fortresses to spy or destroy their enemies from within.

The say that everyone was shocked, surprised and horrified by what they saw was an understatement. A Grimm in the guise of a human being, a Changeling, this was something very new to them mainly for Ozpin and his circle. Salem on the other hand was very intrigued by this Grimm.

"...a...a shapeshifting Grimm..." Summer breathed out.

"A Grimm that can take on the form of either human or Faunus?" Li utters with a sense of dread building up. "This does not bode well at all."

The very thought of a Grimm that can take on the form of a human or Faunus was downright terrifying. They could easily cripple a kingdom from within, sow the seeds of distrust among others, or even assassinate very important people. And the fact that they have yet to find a way to reveal a Changeling Grimm is even worse.

The Imp squeezed Riddick's neck, as was letting out a maniacal laughter from its distorted voice.

"NO! LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Raven shouted as she tried to pry her captor's hand off her neck, as the Imp was slowly chocking the boy before her. Normally she wouldn't even care about anyone but herself, her tribe as well as her daughter, but a part of her was telling her to try and help the young man she's been following, before he get's killed by that shape-shifting Grimm.

"Then tell us where the Spring Maiden is!"

This question caught Raven by surprise. How did this man, if he even is one, know about the Spring Maiden?!

Ozpin felt his blood turn ice cold when the Imp mentioned the Spring Maiden, almost making him dropping his mug, while the other adults aside from Glynda, team STRQ and Salem, were confused by this. Why would a Grimm be concerned by something from a fairy tale?

Salem smirks to herself as a creature from her realm was seeking out one of the Maidens, and it would appear that Raven has one of them.

"W-What are you talking about? What Spring Maiden?" Raven asked trying to play ignorant.

"Don't lie to me! We know that you've been in recant contact with the Maiden, her energy is all over you. So you better tell us what you know, or else!"

Raven could only glare at the man who was holding her, then turned her gaze back at Riddick, who was trying to break free from the Imp's grasp. Then she turned back at her captor. "I don't know anything, about some damned Maiden!" She spat at him.

The man raised a brow as a twisted grin formed on his lips. "You don't huh?" He turned to the Imp who looked back at him. "My friend, if you would please bite the young man's arm off."

This caused Raven's eyes to widen, when she saw the Imp stretching Riddick's left arm out, and slowly moving to sink his teeth in.

"NO, LET HIM GO!"

"THEN TELL US WHAT WE WANNA KNOW! OTHERWISE YOU'RE LITTLE FRIEND HERE IS DEAD!"

Everyone, mainly Raven, were very surprised by what was happening. Why would the other Raven even worry about some boy she barely even met? Raven herself was shocked by her other self's words and actions. Why would she even care what happened to him? Why was she even worried about him when he could easily defend himself?

"Heh, well that's something you don't see everyday." Qrow said with a disbelieving expression. "Raven actually caring about someone. Guess our boy must've done something to her for her to even be worried."

This only earned him another smack on the head by Raven.

Riddick glared daggers at the Imp, as it moved its head ever closer to his arm. He decided to use it, even with the woman in front of him, he had no other choice.

"QUANTUM POWER!" He shouts at the top of his lungs, as the Quantum Morpher glowed bright like the sun.

(Insert Marvelous Bio-Boost Armor-Guyver OST)

BOOM!

An explosion erupted from the morpher, sending the Imp that held Riddick flying back and falling on the roof, with blood oozing from its mouth and covering its jaw. Raven and her captor saw Riddick glaring at them, surrounded by fire and the glowing morpher on his wrist.

"What?!" The man gasped in surprise.

Riddick's body was then consumed in the flames, and then the flames part ways revealing the young red-eyed off worlder in his ranger persona; the Quantum Ranger! The fires around the ranger died out, as the Power Ranger stood tall and proud before them, the black parts of his helmet flashed their multi colored digital lining, and faded.

The man was so stunned by Riddick's transformation, his grip on Raven loosened giving her the chance to break free, and ran towards the ranger. But she was halted when the Imp managed to grab her by the ankle. Raven glared down at the Imp and was about to use her sword to cut its hand off, when the Quantum Ranger calmly walked over and stepped on the Imp's wrist. The Imp growled as the ranger was crushing its wrist to force it to let Raven go, he pressed harder on it to make it release its grip on her ankle, which worked as Riddick brought Raven close to him while backing away from the Imp.

They turned their attention to the man who was questioning Raven, only to see him tensing up and the sound of stretching fabric was heard. It was then they saw him loosing his human appearance, and transformed completely into another Imp, as it let out a short roar finishing its transformation. The Imp along with its partner who stood up, glared and growled at the humans before them.

Everyone was taken aback from the young man's shouting and sudden explosion of fire, right before a new background music began playing. Summer was touched by Riddick's actions in helping her teammate from the Imp who grabbed her ankle, they were all surprised to see the first man was in fact another Imp in disguise, which explained as to why he killed the members of the Blue Sons.

Salem merely smiles to herself upon seeing the Imps before her. 'If I can create such creatures, then bringing the kingdoms down from within will seem like mere child's play.'

"Hang on tight, we're taking this somewhere else!" Riddick told Raven as he leaped over to the next building with Raven in his arms, while the two Imps gave chase.

Unaware that hiding in the shadows, someone had been watching what had transpired, and slowly walked out to show only his shoulder. "At last. After all these years, your finally here. My nemesis."

The last part caught everyone's attention. Who was that figure and what did he mean by 'nemesis'?

Well this certainly took a major turn for the worst. One minute I was busy trying to get answers from the Yang look-a-like, then we got surrounded by those Blue Sons bastards, which were the ones I fought at Forever Haven and chased away, and the next thing I knew they were all gunned down by two of their members, who happened to be Grimm in sheep's clothing. I read all about the Changeling Grimm, they're perfect for infiltration, information gathering, spying and sabotage. They still haven't figured out a way to expose the disguised Grimm amongst the people, which hopefully they do find a way soon.

But for now, I have to take care of these two Imps that followed us at a construction yard that the black haired Yang and I went to. So now here I am, standing inside a half finished room, with the black haired Yang taking cover somewhere when I told her to do so, with the two Imp on both sides with the three of us new a large opening where the wall and window would be built.

The two Imps growled at me, bearing their fangs and claws as I clutched my fists tighter. Then they both charged at me with their claws aiming at me. They managed to grab a hold of me, the Imp on my right had my arm in its claws, while its fangs were in my shoulder, my uniform offered me some protection but I could still feel the teeth on my shoulder. And the Imp with a bloody jaw was on my left seemingly holding onto me. However, that's were it was mistaken as I pushed my left hand upward with my hand wrapped around the Imps neck, almost crushing its windpipe. I could hear it giving a strangled growl, which I smirked.

"Not so funny when someone else has your neck, huh? Jackass." I told the Imp as I gave one strong squeeze and tore its neck open as blood gushes out. The Imp gave one last yelp before its eyes dimmed. I let go of the dead Grimm, as it leaned so far back it fell out of a five story building, and was impaled on the teeth of a blade from a bulldozer facing upward. The dead Grimm was already starting to dissolve before being impaled.

"Now THAT'S how you take care of a Grimm!" Thor bellowed with a wide grin.

"I'll admit it was indeed impressive for him to crush its neck, since it did tried to bite his arm off." Ghira noted while sipping some tea.

Salem merely watched on how the young ranger just continues to impress her over and over again. While Ozpin hopes that his counterpart may be able to gain Riddick's trust and aid him on the war with the Grimm queen.

I turned my attention to the other Imp, I brought up two fingers with my left hand and rammed them in its eyes, the Imp cried out in pain as blood flew out from its wounds. I pulled my fingers out, grabbed its head and threw it over my shoulder and across the room. The Imp wailed as it flew across the room, while blood flew out from its eyeless sockets. It crashed against block of stacked bricks, spilling some of them in the process. The Imp slowly got on its hands and feet, panting heavily as I glared at it through my helmet. Then it lunged at me with its clawed hands stretched out for me. My helmet briefly glowed for a second, then I simply stepped out of its way as its claws only struck air, I quickly grabbed it by both arms and pulled them back.

"Unbelievable!" I heard the black haired Yang exclaimed, no doubt stunned to see me handle these two Grimm.

With me pull its arms back, I forced the Imp on the floor with my foot on its back. As I slowly pulled its arms the Imp was letting out weak and strained growls, no doubt in serious pain. Well, it won't be in pain for much longer, as I gave one final pull I heard the sound of flesh tearing and bones break, and the sound of the Imp giving its one chocked cry as blood came flying out of its mouth, and it went limp beneath me.

The sounds of bones crunching made some of the women flinch from the screen, while Thor and Sif only grinned like loons hoping to try something like that themselves.

(End background music)

I let out a much needed breath after killing two Imps, I heard footsteps coming my way as the black haired woman stood beside me, and watched as the Imp dissolved. There was a brief silence between us, when I decided to speak. "Now then." I said to her, catching her attention as I removed my helmet off my head, and turning my gaze at her. "You wanna tell me why you've been following me for weeks?"

The woman only stared back at me for a moment, before letting out a sigh. "Sorry. It's just, I happened to be around in Forever Fall looking for something I needed. Then I heard some gunfire, so I went to investigate." She said explaining to me why she's been following me. "And when I got there I saw you fighting a pack of Grimm, you seemed to be doing well against them I thought you'd be fine. I went to go about my business when I saw more Grimm show up. I was about to step in an help you, and then you suddenly turned into what you are now." She said while gesturing to my ranger outfit.

"I was very surprised to see how you handled them. And after that fight, as well as taming those two Grimm that Hellhound and Razor, which I'm still trying to figure out how you did it. I was about to leave, but I decided to follow you instead. You peeked my interest from that moment I saw you in Forever Fall, especially when you fought those Blue Sons and saved that village. Not many people on Remnant would ever go against the Blue Sons, except for the huntsmen and huntresses, and yet you did so without hesitation. Especially facing off against Scaramouche. Not many people have ever gone up against him, and lived to tell about it."

"Well at least we know why she's been following him." Tai said aloud, still feeling a little depressed that his ex-wife would even kiss another guy much younger than her. Even if it was to trick him.

'Still I'm sure there's another reason for me to even spy on him for that long' Raven ponders over the reason for her counterpart to be intrigued by the off-worlder. True, he possessed great fighting skills and such, but there must be something about him that caught her interest. But what?

As she finished explaining herself, I merely gave a slow nod. "I see. Even so, I don't like being stalked from someone I don't even know." I said giving her a slight glare.

She gave a small smile. "Sorry, my name's Raven. Raven Branwen." Raven introduced herself.

At least I now have a name, now for my other question. "Riddick S. Rexton." I introduced myself. "Now you mind telling me why..." I suddenly stopped my question and tensed up.

Raven noticed my behavior and asked. "What's wrong?"

"Someone's here." I told her while putting my helmet back on. We both were quiet as possible, waiting on whoever is coming towards us. Then we heard the sound of footsteps echoing all around us. We turned around as the sound of the footsteps were coming from behind us where a door was, I could faintly make out an outline of the figure walking toward us, but I couldn't see clearly enough due to my helmet preventing me from fully seeing in the dark.

"Who's that?" Summer asks.

"Not sure. But whoever that is it can't be good." Tai said while gripping the book.

Ozpin narrowed his eyes a little when he felt something off about this new comer. Something about this person felt wrong...dangerous.

Then suddenly the figure spoke. "So, you were able to sense me the moment I stepped into this building. I'd expect nothing less from you, Quantum Ranger."

I then suddenly froze as I heard the figure's voice. 'That voice! No way, it can't be! Can it?'

The figure then stepped into the light of the shattered moon, revealing himself, then I let out a light gasp as heart skipped it a beat. No, it can't be!

There stood before us, was a man wearing black clothing underneath a white long sleeved robe, the outfit itself looked like something out of feudal Japan. While the man looked to be either in his early or late twenties, with black hair combed back reaching down his neck, whit finely trimmed facial hair around his mouth. There's no mistaking it, it is him!

"D-Deker!" I exclaimed in total awe. It really is Deker, the human/Nighlok hybrid from Power Rangers Samurai! But I don't understand it, how is he here, for that matter, how the in the hell is he even real?!

The way how Riddick reacted made everyone raise a brow. Did he know this Deker person? "I take it this Deker fellow is someone Riddick knows?" Johnathan asked their host.

Imhotep nods. "Yes. As you noticed he's from Power Rangers Samurai, one of the later generations of Power Rangers in later years. He just so happens to be an enemy in the show."

"Is he dangerous?" Kali asked.

"Very dangerous and a very skilled swordsman."

I heard Raven gasp loudly, as she gained a look of fear on her face. "Deker? As in the Deker, the White Demon Swordsman of Remnant?!" She asked with dread in her voice. So even she knows about him too? How's that even possible?!

Deker grinned from hearing Raven speaking his name. "Yes, the very same swordsman that's known throughout the world. And it does my heart good that you remember me, after all, you and I have fought each other countless times, Riddick." He said with his grin growing wider.

Everyone was stunned to see Raven's counterpart actually looked scared. By the tone of her voice and how she knew this Deker person, speaks clearly that he was very dangerous indeed. And what's shocking even more is that he somehow knew the young man's name. The question is...how?

I froze like a statue when he spoke my name. How the hell does he even know me, when I only know him as a fictional character?! "What're you talking about? I never met you before! I only know about you and what you are, but I've never met you personally!" My words made him lose his grin as he raised a questionable brow.

"You don't remember me? Or the many battles we had before?" He questions as he advances towards us.

"No, I don't even recall meeting you before!" I exclaimed while putting myself in front of Raven, with my hand close to my Quantum blaster. Knowing who this guy is after seeing him go against the Red Ranger from Samurai, Deker's by no means a pushover. He's dangerous, which means I'll have to be careful. We watched as Deker continued walking towards us, while his lips turned into a thin line as he looked himself over. "I see it's this form of mine, that's why you don't remember me." He said as he was walking towards a wide pillar before us. "Perhaps I should slip into something more...recognizable." As he stepped behind the pillar, something happened.

BOOM!

A loud explosion and shockwave rocked the room, as some parts of the room caved in from the sheer force of the explosion. Raven and I had to brace ourselves from the smoke and debris, until all was quiet again. We turned our gaze at the cloud of smoke before us, and saw a dark figure walking out of the smoke. My breath hitched as I saw a white foot stepping out of the smoke, before the whole body came out. What was once a man was now a monster. There stood before us was Deker in his Nighlok form! His white body looked almost like samurai armor with red mixed with it, and his skeletal face incased in a red glass faceplate, leaving only his two soulless white eyes staring deeply at us.

Having finally stepped out of the smoke, Deker spreads his arms out for us to see him in his glory. "Now do you recognize me?" He said to me with his voice sounding the same but distorted which made him sounded even more menacing.

No one, save for Salem, said anything. The very appearance of Deker's Nighlok form was truly something to behold. They could feel it irradiating from the screen, the power coming from him sent shivers down everyone's spines. More so for Ghira and Kali. Their instincts were screaming, telling them to run away from the being before them. Even Ozpin's hands started shaking.

"...brothers above..." Achilles utters.

"This...this is what a Nighlok looks like?" Willow questions.

"...a demon." Li said while holding his wife closer.

The tension around us was heavy, here standing before us was someone who's supposed to be a made-up character, was releasing such a killing intent I've never felt before, not even the Grimm could put out this much killing intent.

At the corner of my eye I saw Raven practically shaking like an earthquake, and her eyes filled with fear. "T-There's no mistaking it. He really is the White Demon Swordsman Deker!" She spoke with fear oozing off her being. Not that I don't blame her, normally I ain't afraid of anything, but I hate to say it, but he gives even me the chills. Still I can't let this guy live. Lord only knows just how powerful he really is in real-life, and there's no telling how much damage he could do.

"Yes, the very same swordsman that has lived throughout the centuries, traveling all over Remnant in search of a worthy opponent to satisfy me!" Deker said to us as his eyes glowed softly before dimming. "Unfortunately, there hasn't been a single human or Faunus to ever match my strength. No matter where I go it seems that I keep running into nothing but weaklings."

The way he spoke to us, I could hear the disdain and disappointment in his voice, from what I remembered in Power Rangers Samurai, the only person who he considered to be his worthy rival was Jayden Shiba the Red Ranger. And if he's anything like his TV counterpart, he'll go to any lengths just to find someone to be a worthy adversary. And it looks like I'm it!

"Only a small number of warriors I've encountered have fought and bested me in combat. And one of them happens to be you, Riddick Rexton!" He said to me which made me tense up, and Raven moving close to me for some reason. "And now that I've found you, it's time for us to settle the score!" He then slowly began to walk toward us in slow paces.

"So, he's been around for centuries, fighting numerous warriors to placate his lust for combat. But no one could even stop him?" Glynda summarized. "Just what're the chances of Riddick even beating him?"

"Looks like we'll find out won't we?" Tai said.

"Still the thing I'm wondering is...how does Deker even know Riddick if he's a fictional character? For that matter how did he end up on Remnant?" Summer questions.

"Hopefully we'll find out later on."

"Now hold on, I already told you I don't even recall anything that happened between us!" I exclaimed trying to get some sense into his head. But it would seem my words fell on deaf ears.

"You say you don't remember me, yet you know my name and what I am? Could it be possible that you're obviously lying...or perhaps, you think I'm not even worth remembering?" He questions me with a slight snarl in his tone as he continued advancing.

"No, it's not like that at all, dammit!"

"Hmph! Even so, a friendly reminder you have no hope of defeating me, even as you are now. You don't even have the Fire Bird to come to your aid like before in our last battle."

Everyone blinked from what Deker had mentioned. A Fire Bird? And it would seem that he believed that Riddick somehow knows this Fire Bird, just what is this Fire Bird the Nighlok speaks of is what's on their minds.

Fire Bird? The hell's he talking about? No matter, I'll figure it out later. "You'll never know!" I said while pushing Raven back which she obliged, and I got into a fighting stance.

"That's unfortunate, for you!" He said as he raised his arms to his face. Then with his last step, he quickly sprints across the room with his right fight cocked back, making me brace myself for his attack.

The sound of a window shattering was heard, as well as the screams of Riddick as he was tackled by Deker, and bursting out of the window from the building. Both ranger and Nighlok were free falling from the five story building, with Deker's hands wrapped around the boy's neck.

Raven made her way to the window to see the young ranger and Nighlok falling. "RIDDICK!" She cried out.

Everyone flinched from the Nighlok's first attack. This was the start of a rivalry between two warriors. Now, which of them will be the victor?

BOOM!

Riddick crashed into the ground first while Deker easily landed on his feet, away from the crater the young ranger made. Riddick slowly sat up while pushing the debris off him. "Dammit all, that hurt!" He groaned feeling the pain from crashing into the ground.

(Insert Imminent Battle! W-Guyver OST)

Riddick looked up just in time as Deker was seen coming at him with a flying kick! Riddick quickly raised his arms to block the attack, he grunts as the force of the impact slightly moved him, then he quickly spreads his arms out only for Deker to leap over him. The ranger looked above him and felt the Nighlok grabbing him by the neck, Deker lands on his feet with his hands around Riddick's neck and throws him over his left shoulder, sending the Quantum Ranger flying into a pile of rocks.

Riddick felt the wind getting knocked out of him, he knew that this Deker would be incredibly different from the TV Deker, but he had no idea just how right he was. He saw Deker's shadow and looks back up. Deker was looking down at the young ranger, feeling a little disappointed that his rival wasn't even putting up much of a fight. But he waited for thousands of years to face him again. And he's not going to let this chance slip through his fingers!

As the two were fighting, Raven was running down the stairs to get to where Riddick and Deker are at. She wasn't sure why she was worrying about some boy she barely knew, sure she's been following him since day one and was caught by him when he and her daughter were exiting from Junior's bar, but she wasn't sure how or why she's worrying about his safety. She knew all about Deker, his reputation as a swordsman was legendary in all of Remnant. His skill, strength and power is without equal, no one not even Ozpin or General Ironwood would even think of fighting that monster! She would rather face "her" after crossing swords with that demon.

'Riddick be careful! If this really is Deker, then there's no way to survive this!' She thought to herself as she ran down the stairs.

Everyone aside from Salem were stunned to hear about Deker's exploits, how even Ozpin or Ironwood wouldn't even fight someone of Deker's caliber, If Raven thought she would rather fight Salem instead, then that tells them that Deker isn't someone to underestimate in the slightest.

Back outside Riddick was throwing a hail of punches at the Nighlok, which Deker was blocking with one hand, before throwing a spin kick to Riddick's face. Riddick quickly blocks it before throwing a left jab, which Deker dodges it and counters with a right hook. Striking Riddick in the face.

Back at the building Raven finally made her way to the bottom, and was seen running out of the entrance. 'Many huntsmen and huntresses have fought Deker before, and none of them returned alive!' As she was looking for the two fighters, she stopped and spotted Riddick with his back against a pile of steel beams, with Deker looming over him.

"Oh no. Riddick!" She calls out to him.

Deker heard Raven's cries and turns his gaze at her, not pleased to have her interrupting their fight. "Stay out of this woman, or else!"

Raven heard his threat and was slowly backing away, the Riddick stood up glaring at the Nighlok through his helmet. "No, leave her alone!" He said to Deker which he merely chuckles.

The bandit leader suddenly felt her heart skip a beat when Riddick placed himself in front of her counterpart. Despite being grossly outmatched by an immortal demon swordsman, he willingly put himself between her and Deker, even though it's suicidal? She wasn't sure why but she felt...touched by this act.

Summer noticed a hint of pink on her former partner's face and frowns over the fact that she hasn't gotten over the kissing part.

"Still defending the weak I see? You really haven't changed at all, my nemesis."

Riddick leaps away from the Nighlok, putting some distance between him and Deker and keeping himself in front of Raven. "Look, I don't know how you know me, or why you wanna fight me. But there's no way I'm letting you hurt someone, just to force me to fight you!"

"Heh, still lying to me? Have you truly forgotten me, after all this time?! Perhaps my friend here, will help jog your memory!" He said to Riddick as he slowly walked over the steel beams. On his back was a long sword, which he reach over and grabbed the handle. He pulls his sword out and revealing a katana blade with the back of the blade colored red, and serrated like teeth. Deker gave the sword a few swings and brings it close to his face, with the tip of the blade pointed at Riddick.

Raven let out a gasp in shock, while Riddick stepped back in surprise. "Uramasa!"

Deker with his sword in hand, leaps high in the air with his eyes glowing brightly. Riddick jumps back while reaching for his Quantum Blaster, by the time Deker swings his sword downward, the sword not only sliced through a dumpster, but it also cleaved a building behind it, while sending a powerful wave cutting through other buildings, leaving a trail of destruction and stopping at the road, causing all cars to stop and people to cry out in panic.

Everyone's jaws nearly dropped when they saw Deker sliced through several buildings in one swing!

"Holy shit!" Qrow gawks.

"This Deker fellow...he truly is a monster!" Jacques gasped with wide eyes.

"I doubt even Atlas would survive a battle with him." Glynda said with fear in her eyes.

Salem merely hums to herself with a small smile forming. 'A warrior that strong would be a formidable ally in the future.'

'Holy shit!' Riddick felt his blood turned ice when he saw a massive trench leading from where he stood, all the way to the street in the city, and multiple buildings cleaved in half. 'I knew he'd be a lot more powerful in real-life than in the show, but I'd never imagine he'd be this powerful!'

Regaining his composer Riddick with the Quantum Saber in hand, turned his gaze back at Deker who thrusts his sword at him. Riddick parried the first strike and tried slicing Deker's head off, but Deker blocked it and swung his blade horizontally at Riddick's chest, causing sparks to erupt and Riddick shouting in pain.

As the two fighters fought, Raven was breaking out in a cold sweat as her eyes were glued to the destruction Deker caused. She felt her heart pounding and racing so much, it felt like it was about to rupture any second. She knew all the stories of Deker's power and how he could easily slice through a Bullhead with ease, she wasn't even sure why she's still around. She knew it's suicide to go against someone of Deker's caliber, and yet she's still here, worrying about some boy she found in Forever Fall, and meeting her daughter in some bar. She should be leaving and let Riddick deal with Deker, and yet she can't leave.

'Why? Why can't I leave? What's stopping me from leaving? Is it that boy, that very same boy I've been following for weeks?' She inwardly exclaimed to herself. 'Why am I even worrying over him? He handled those Grimm and Scaramouche easily, so why should I even worry about him now?! I only just met him...and yet...I feel like I...know him from somewhere...but why?'

Tai, Summer and Qrow were wondering about that themselves, especially Raven. Why is she still around knowing that she couldn't fight Deker? Is really because of Riddick? That very same off worlder who she's been stalking for a while now? Tai wasn't sure why but he had a rather uneasy feeling that something might happen between these two in the future.

As she was going through her mind, the sound of clashing swords broke her from her trance. She turned her attention to see Riddick and Deker running while swinging their swords with such blinding speed, then she saw the Nighlok pushing Riddick back forcing him to run straight to a wall. 'Oh no! He's cornering him!' She thought to herself. She knew that as strong and skillful Riddick is, even he would have trouble against Deker. She just had to do something, and something quick! But what?

Qrow narrows his eyes as he leans forward. 'What exactly ARE you gonna do, sis?'

Riddick grunts loudly as he was pushed against the wall, then Deker came up with his hand on the wall and his sword against Riddick's neck. The ranger and Nighlok stared into each other's eyes, as the Nighlok was slowly pushing his blade against Riddick's neck.

He has him. He has him right where he wants him, just one slice across the neck, and Deker will finally finish Riddick off here and now!

Riddick felt a drop of sweat on his face, as he was growling under his breath, berating himself for letting Deker cornering him.

"Goodbye ranger." Deker said to him, ready to slice his neck wide open and end his life.

Everyone held their breath when they saw Deker ready to kill the young man. Most of them were on the the edge of their seats but the one who was close to falling off was Raven. She was leaning so close she looked ready to fall any second. She wasn't sure why but she felt...fearful...afraid for the young ranger.

However before he could kill him, something caught his attention. Riddick noticed this and looked up. Above them on the wall was a swirling red and black portal that seemed to appear out of thin air, and to Riddick's surprise and awe, Raven jumped out of the portal with her hand on her sword. Her sudden arrival caught Deker completely off guard, which gave Raven the advantage as she drew her sword out, and swung it at Deker. The attack was so fast, Raven was seen standing behind Deker with her sword in the air.

"Raven?" Riddick said under his breath, surprised to see her lending him a hand.

Everyone, save for Salem, were caught off guard by the other Raven's sudden appearance and lending Riddick a hand with Deker. Even Raven herself was caught by surprise that her counterpart would be willing to do such a thing.

Deker's face had a glowing line that appeared over his right eye, the cut started from the top of his head, and ran down all the way to the bottom, reaching his jaw.

Raven was panting heavily as she regained her senses, and realized just what she did. 'D-Did I actually, cut him?!' She felt dread coming back as she looked over her shoulder and felt her blood turning ice cold.

"That doesn't look good for her." Kali utters to her husband.

"No. It doesn't" Ghira nods.

Deker was trembling, he was livid, no, Angry at what that woman just did to him! "You miserable WHORE!" He exclaimed with anger in his voice. He turns his gaze at her when his eyes glowed white hot with fury, and charges at her. Raven barely had time to react as Deker had his hand wrapped around her throat. Raven cried out in surprise and pain, as the Nighlok tackled her to a stone pillar of the building creating a small crater behind her. Raven was letting out strangled cries as her neck was being crushed under Deker's grasp.

"RAVEN!" Summer, Qrow and Tai cried out in unison from seeing the bandit's counterpart being strangled.

Raven's eyes were wide when she saw Deker choking the life out of her counterpart. Why? Why didn't she just leave? Obviously Riddick could've handled this himself, and yet still she chose to help him. For reasons unknown, during the whole viewing with her ex-husband and teammates, her heart began to pound whenever she laid eyes on the young man. She wasn't sure why but she couldn't even tear her eyes away from him. But right now she was fearful for the survival of her counterpart.

"You bitch! I told you to stay out of it!" He growls at her as he slowly squeezed her neck. Wanting to make her pay for interfering in their fight, and wounding him in the process.

Raven's vision was slowly going dark, her strength was fading as she was being choked by this demon. She inwardly scolded herself for sticking around to help someone she barely even knew, and yet for some wild ass reason she wanted to save him. She wasn't sure why but she just had to. As she was being strangled she could see her life flashing before her eyes, her time in the tribe with her brother, learning how to survive in the wilds, going to Beacon with Qrow to kill Ozpin as part of their secret mission, partnering up with Summer Rose and forming team STRQ, marrying Taiyang and giving birth to her daughter, Yang, finding out about what Ozpin was really capable of when he turned her and Qrow into birds. And the shadow war he was waging which was nothing but a hopeless battle, and her leaving her husband and daughter but not before kissing her little girl goodbye.

Ozpin's blood ran cold when the video and Tai's reading revealed everything. The very war he kept trying to keep a secret for so long was now heard by everyone.

The others, save for Salem, all stared wide eyed when they saw and heard everything. A shadow war? A hopeless shadow war? The one thing that caught Summer, Tai and Qrow's attention the most was Raven's last act of motherly love and the very reason why she left.

Sumer looks over to Raven who only had her head lowered. But she could easily see a tear falling, no doubt regretting her actions of leaving Tai and Yang, but still now she knew why. 'We're gonna have to have a very long talk with Ozpin. Eventually.' Summer thought while turning to her former headmaster, who still had an uneasy expression, while Salem had a smile that seemed to be growing every minute.

'...Looks like...this is it...I'm gonna die, I really am gonna die...Y-Y-Yang...I know what I did to you and your father was wrong, but I...I wish I had the courage to see you again.' Raven felt tears flowing from her eyes as the last image of her daughter flashed before her eyes. 'Y-Yang...my sweet baby girl...I love you.' Just when her life was about to end right there fate had intervened.

"DEKER!"

The sound of Riddick's cries caught his attention, but didn't react in time as Riddick swung his sword across Deker's back with a great amount of force. The Nighlok hybrid cried out in pain which was enough to force him to let go of Raven, who let out a loud gasp and starting coughing violently. Raven looks up and saw the young man putting himself between her and the Nighlok hybrid, she felt her face heating up and her heart almost skipping a tick when he stood tall and proud before her.

Summer, Tai and Qrow felt tremendous amounts of relief when they saw Riddick coming in to save the other Raven, but to see and hear Raven's thoughts really struck home. She still loved Yang even after running away from everything. '...maybe...there's hope for her yet.' Were the thoughts of the former members of STRQ who gazed at Raven who only watched on regardless of any tears falling.

'He...he saved me!...He actually saved my life!' Raven thought to herself. Her heart was slowly beating faster and her face was growing warmer. Raven moved her hand to her heart and slowly clenches her fist, a small smile had wormed its way to her lips feeling grateful to Riddick for saving her life. Then she snaps out of her trance, taking their fighting as an opportunity she swings her sword in the air and created a portal and jumps right into it.

Somewhere in a different location a black and red portal opened, and Raven leapt out of it, landing on her feet and closing the portal behind her. Raven sighs to herself while rubbing her still aching throat and turns to see the moon above, a lots happened today and right now she's really tired and wants to head back to the tribe for some rest. She brought her finger to her lips, slowly tracing them as the feeling of the young man's lips were still fresh on them, she smiles softly again before raising her left hand she looks at the ring on her finger. It had the image of a crow with its wing wrapped around its body, which made up the surface of the ring, with its beak near a ruby gem in the center. She's had this ring for sometime now, she knew it wasn't from Taiyang however as she left the ring at his place. Raven wasn't sure why she had this ring but she never wanted to part ways from it.

Tai blinks at the sight of the ring on his ex-wife's finger and cups his chin. "I don't remember giving Raven a ring like that before." He utters to himself before going back to the book.

Sighing softly, she turns back to the moon and could faintly see the image of Riddick briefly showing up on the moon's surface. "...I'm not sure why, but I hope to see you again soon, Riddick." She said before leaving for her tribe.

Back in Vale the fight between Riddick and Deker still raged, as the young man created a large cloud of dirt and dust, blinding Deker's eyes.

Using this to his advantage, Riddick continued his assault on Deker, swinging his sword rapidly causing sparks to fly everywhere. With one strong Spartan kick, Riddick sent Deker flying back nd rolled across the ground. Deker slowly got back up only to see Riddick's sword glowing yellow. Riddick let out a loud war cry as he swung his saber in an X formation and swung the blade across it, sending it flying towards Deker.

But Deker raised his sword up and swung it downward, cutting Riddick's attack in half, resulting in a great explosion.

BOOOMMMM!

The sound of the explosion could be heard in the city, as many of the citizens were panicking and others were calling the police.

The attacks from both Riddick and Deker completely blew everyone away, some cheered, more so Thor and Sif, while others merely smiled/grinned/smirked from the display before them.

"That was an impressive fight. Even though he was out classed, Riddick still fights on no matter what." John noted with a proud smile.

"Indeed. I'm sure he'll make an excellent huntsman." Li agreed.

While he may agree with some of the others about the young ranger, Ozpin was still shaken over the fact that the war he tried to keep hidden was now exposed, even if it was briefly mentioned. He dreaded on what will happen when more secrets will be revealed.

(End background music)

Back at the construction yard, Riddick was panting from his assault on Deker, he knew that attack of his wouldn't be able to finish Deker off so easily and was prepared to fight if he tried anything. Deker was silent for a minute until he let out a chuckle.

"Truly this was an amazing battle, even after all these years. I'd expect nothing less from you, Riddick. But don't think I'm beaten just yet!" Deker said as he slowly stood up and brought Uramasa close to his face, ready to continue the fight. Or, he would've continued fighting, if the sound of police sirens hadn't caught their attention.

"Grrr, dammit all." He cursed under his breath. He relaxed his stance, placed Uramasa back in its sheath and returned to his human force. "As much as I would love to finish this duel, we will continue this another time. But know this Riddick Myers, the next time we meet, there will be no distractions or any interruptions. And only one of us will be left standing." He said to Riddick before turning around and jumping high in the air, and vanished from sight.

"It's finally over." Katherine sighed in relief. The fight between the two was enough to give her a heart attack.

"No doubt about it. That's one fight that will truly be one for the ages." Her husband commented.

With Deker gone, Riddick let out a heavy sigh of relief and returned to his civilian self. "Damn, that was intense." Riddick said to himself, wiping the sweat from his face. He looked over his shoulder to thank Raven for helping him, only to see that ravenette had vanished. "Raven?" He said looking all around to find her. But the sounds of the police sirens were getting louder, meaning they were getting closer. "Dammit, gotta get out of here." With that he quickly made it way to a wall, and used whatever he could grab to climb up and made his way to the roof.

Lightly panting, Riddick looked downward to see police cars rolling in, and the cops coming out of the car. "Tch, you guy's are a little late. Not that you could've helped anyway." He said while walking away from the edge before they could spot him. As he was walking he pulled out his scroll, opened the map on it, and saw a blinking dot that was leading away, far away from Vale. During his encounter with Raven, Riddick was able to slip a tracking device on her without her knowing. He invented the tracking device, incase he ever ran into people that caught his attention, or to keep track on them. He narrowed his eyes as the icon which was Raven, was now in Anima, the continent of the kingdom of Mistral. No doubt that portal ability of her is how she got there.

"Heh, Mistral huh? Don't worry Raven, we'll see each other again real soon." He said while putting the scroll away.

Raven blinked when the young man somehow placed a tracer on her counterpart. 'He's good. Very good to actually put a tracer on me without me even noticing.'

Unknown to him, something was watching him. In the shadows was a glowing yellow orb, it gave a clicking sound as it came out of the darkness. The creature has a spherical body that is covered with bone-like plates, along with red tentacles ending in white, bony barbs and a single eye. This creature is known as a Seer, a Grimm. The Seer was observing the unsuspecting ranger, while keeping itself hidden from him.

"...a...a Seer?" Willow utters, feeling unnerved by the sight of the Grimm.

"A Grimm that's spying on the boy? This doesn't bode well." Ghira said with his eyes narrowed at the creature.

Salem however had a ghost of a smile when she saw her creation spying on Riddick. No doubt he caught the attention of her counterpart. 'This should be interesting.'

(Unknown location)

In another part of Remnant, hidden from the world was a barren wasteland, with rocky terrain and enormous purple crystals sprouting from the ground. The sky is stained a dark red. Black pools were seen everywhere, as multiple Grimm rose from them and surrounded a castle of sorts. Inside the castle was a meeting room and sitting on the chairs around a long table, were multiple people, but the one who stood out the most was the one sitting before them.

The person who appeared to be the leader, was a woman, but she was anything but human. Her skin is a deathly pallor, covered with deep red and purple veins that run up her arms and face. The sclerae of her eyes are jet black and her irises glow red, even brighter when she is agitated. She has a black diamond-shaped marking in the center of her forehead. She also wore a very long black robe with red designs resembling eyes. She also wears a ring resembling an insect on her right index finger. She has white hair formed into a bun with six offshoots from which ornaments are suspended. This woman is known as Salem, queen of the Grimm.

Everyone who wasn't a part of Ozpin's group froze in awe and fear upon seeing the homeland of the Grimm, as well as the spawning pools from which they came from, never in their wildest dreams would they even imagine they'd see the home of the Creatures of Grimm in their lives.

Salem was observing through another Seer, that was on the table before her. The Grimm allowed her to see through the eye of its kin, the Grimm queen smirked as she saw Riddick walking away from the edge of the building and giving her a full view of his face. That scowl and cold piercing look from his red eyes made her shiver in delight, she liked what she saw and silently purred to herself. "So, this is the one who cause that disturbance, Watts?" She questioned one of her subordinates.

Sitting on a chair to the left, was a man named Arthur Watts. A servant to Salem. Watts is a tall middle-aged man with a slim build and slightly tanned skin. He also has short black and gray hair as well as a mustache and green eyes. He wears a gray overcoat with yellow linings, a yellow dress shirt and a black necktie. His pants are the same color as his overcoat. His yellow-buttoned undercoat and finger-less gloves match his cordovan shoes, under which he wears yellow socks.

The mention of the man named Arthur Watts caught the attention of the Schnees, mainly Jacques. He recalled there being a man by that name in the Atlesian science division, but was presumed to be dead after escaping the authorities. It would appear though he seems to be under Salem's employment.

He nodded to confirm his queen's question. "Indeed he is milady. This boy just suddenly appeared out of thin air, who is or how he came here is beyond my understanding, milady." He spoke to her, answering her as best as he could.

A chuckle was heard from the other side of the table. The one who chuckled was a pale man with gold eyes and a brown ponytail braided to resemble a scorpion's tail. He wears a white sleeveless jacket with leather belts strapped to it, along with white pants. His jacket is left open, exposing his bare chest, which is criss-crossed with prominent scars. His arms are covered with purple bandages and leather vambraces. He also wears leather boots covering his entire shin with knee guards.

The man gave a twisted smile as he leaned over the table. "You mean to say is, you don't even know how he appeared in the first place, do you Watts? Some genius you are. HAHAHAHAHA!" The man laughed with a sick and twisted smile.

The sight and the laughter of the crazed man made everyone uneasy while Salem merely had an impassive face, having grown used to Tyrian's twisted mind.

Watts however shot the man a scowl. "Shut up Tyrian! At least I was able to pick up this disturbance, while you were busy roughhousing with the Ursa!"

Before an argument could breakout, a large hand slammed onto the table. Silencing them. "Enough! This is not the time to act like children, in front of the mistress!" The man spoke to them with a stern tone. The man in question is a tall and muscular middle-aged man, has short brown hair, a beard and hazel eyes. He wore a two-tone olive green coat over a black 3/4 sleeve shirt, and a large belt. His pants are black, with a pouch strapped to each pants leg, and his boots are brown with white fronts. His hairy arms appear to have some scars near the edges of his sleeves.

Ozpin nearly dropped his mug when he saw Hazel among Salem's ranks. He still remembers the older brother's anger at him for the death of his sister during her time in Beacon, even to this day Hazel never forgave him and is still hellbent on killing him.

Salem nods to him. "Thank you, Hazel. The last thing I need is another shouting match."

The man, Hazel Rainart lightly bows his head. "My pleasure, mistress."

Turning her attention to her right, she spoke to another member of her group. "What do you think of this boy, Cinder?"

The girl in question stepped into view, revealing herself. Cinder Fall has ashen-black hair and bright amber eyes, while her fingernails are painted dark red. She wears a dark-red, off-the-shoulders, v-neck mini dress with yellow designs. There is a blue feather-like accessory on her right hip, at the top of an open portion of her dress. The dress ends in an upside-down triangular tail in the back, ending just above the knees. There is a baseball diamond-shaped keyhole on the dress' upper back at the same height as her chest. The sleeves end in a triangle shape, which are wrapped or tied around her middle finger, with the gold designs of the sleeve taking over at the wrists. She wears black shorts underneath her dress, as well as a black choker on her neck. She wears a gold loop earring with a black gem dangling from it on her right ear. She has dark, glass, high-heeled shoes and a jeweled anklet on her right leg.

And beside her are her two teammates, Mercury Black and Emerald Sustrai.

Emerald is a young woman with medium-brown skin and dark-red eyes. Her hair is a light, mint-green cut with a straight fringe and bangs, as well as two long locks on each side, in the back. She wears two bronze-colored rings on her middle fingers as well as a pair of high-heeled shoes. She also wore a gold, three-ring armband on her left arm and a string of gold beads near the same wrist.

While Mercury is shown to be a pale, well-built young man with gray eyes and, while draped in shadow, gray hair partially slicked back while unkempt at the front. He also wears a slate gray and black two-tone partial-zip jacket, that covers his upper body.

"So, there are others who noticed Riddick's exploits during his first time on Remnant then." Ghira mumbled with his arms crossed.

"Still the fact that the woman, Salem, is actually the queen of the Grimm. And she's sitting right here with us..." Athena said with a look of dread on her face.

She wasn't the only one. Those who weren't a part of Ozpin's group were terrified by the fact that they were in the same room with the queen of the Grimm herself, while Summer and her former team, along with Ozpin and Glynda were keeping a very watchful eye on her.

Cinder walked up to the table and saw through the Seer as Riddick was looking at his scroll. She had this smirk growing on her lips, liking his sharp features. "He certainly looks fascinating." She said which made Mercury snort.

"What? Seriously!? What's so great about some loser, who just seemingly popped up out of nowhere?" He said while crossing his arms, not at all impressed by Riddick.

"Aside from the fact that he was able to actually tame a Hellhound and a Razor, as well as fighting and killing Scaramouche, I'd say that's impressive enough." Emerald countered her partner, which made him give her a glare, while she smirked at him.

Salem nodded before returning back to the Seer. "Indeed. This boy is truly amazing. To be able to tame two Grimm is very impressive, we best keep our eyes on him." She said before raising a brow. "Hmm?"

Everyone in the chamber noticed her change and looked through the Seer, and to their surprise, the boy they were observing was gone!

"What the hell? Where'd he go?" Tyrian asked which no one answered.

This caught everyone's attention. Just what was going on this time?

I knew something felt off. Just before I could head back to my motel, I felt something, just like how I felt Raven was watching me. Seems I had another stalker. So I quickly found a place to hide, which was behind a large air duct, and waited for whoever had the gall to follow me. And to my surprise what I saw wasn't a human or a Faunus, it was a Grimm!

From what I saw I could tell it was a Seer, not much is known about these Grimm, other than the fact that they're still dangerous as their larger kin. The Seer was floating around making clicking sounds as it was looking for me. Well, I'll give a big surprise. With the Grimm distracted, I dashed across the roof and gave it a powerful spin kick, sending it flying at a steel pipe. I quickly made my way to it before it could recover, and grabbed it by the tendrils and started slamming it over and over again on the floor of the roof. Just like the Hulk did with Loki from Avengers.

The Seer was crying out in pain, which was good, I wanted it to know what happens to those who try to follow without a good enough reason. I pulled my bowie out and sliced off the tendrils, knowing it could still attack with them even in my grasp. Deciding to play with it a little, I kicked it up with my foot and started bouncing it on my knee like a soccer ball. I then caught it in my palm, then balanced it on my finger tip and spun it around. I chuckled to myself, feeling a little silly for doing this, but hey as long as I'm having fun in my own way.

Everyone was completely taken by surprise by Riddick's antics. The sight of him kicking the Seer as though it were a ball made some of the adults chuckle, while Salem who at first appeared indifferent had a ghost of a smile on her lips.

Then I was bouncing it around the roof like a basketball, its cries of pain were growing weaker and weaker from the abuse it was getting, so I decided to stop fooling around. So I threw it as hard as I could, and it crashed against the wall of a rooftop shed. I walked over to the weakened Grimm, who let out a weak moan before rolling over to face me. As I got closer, I suddenly stopped as it looked back at me. A creature like this normally won't follow me without good reason, which means someone's using it to spy on me. If that's so, then I'll give them something to remember me by.

I kneeled down and leaned a little closer to the Seer, which made it whimper.

"I know you're watching this, I don't know who you are, and I honestly don't give a shit. I'm not in the best of moods for whatever game you have. You better stop following me and leave me the hell alone, otherwise what I did to your pet, will be nothing compared to what I'll do to you." I said to whoever with a hard tone in my voice. "But if you really got the balls to face me, then by all means, come and get me. If not, then you stay in whatever rock you live in, and fuck off!" I said to him/her before flipping them the "bird".

With that said, I stood back up raised my right foot up, and slammed it over the Seer. Crushing it like a bug. Its blood splattered all over the roof and my shoe, as I rubbed my shoe against the spot where the Seer was. With it dead I pulled my shoe back as smoke was rising from the stains.

"Heh, hopefully they got my point." I mumbled to myself and began making my way back to the motel for a nice hot shower, and a warm bed with my name on it. "This is so not my day."

"That boy is without a doubt the most bravest and possibly the craziest soul I have ever seen in my life." Raven utters under her breath. It took an insane amount of courage to actually do what Riddick just did, even if it was suicidal to actually flip the queen of the Grimm off.

Salem however didn't appeared to offended by this. If anything she found the young man's courage to be...arousing really. It's very rare to find anyone who could actually look death in the eyes and not tremble in fear. The fight between him and Deker definitely proved Riddick's merit, despite being outclassed, he still fought on.

Even Ozpin himself was speechless by Riddick's actions. Not a lot of people could ever stand up to those like Salem and live to tell about it. 'Perhaps...there's hope for us yet.'

Everyone was taken aback by the surprise attack the young man performed on the Seer. All they saw was it getting slammed on the roof over and over again, before seeing it being bounced on the boy's knee and spun around like a ball. The only one who seemed to be enjoying this, was Tyrian who smiled so wide it almost split his face, and letting out a howling laughter.

While everyone else paid no attention to the cackling man, the last thing they saw was the Seer being thrown so hard at a shed and crashed against it. While they saw the Seer in Vale sliding down the wall, it rolled itself over to face the young boy who was advancing toward it. By the time the boy stopped, he suddenly leaned closer and was able to see through the Seer before him.

Salem, though while she was surprised at first, was smiling through the event and was glad to know that the boy could see her, which meant she now got a closer look at his face. She took in every detail of his face, and felt a shiver going down her spine, as his blood red eyes gazed into hers.

"That was truly impressive, he was able to somehow sense my Seer, a feat no one has achieve. But was playing around with it like some game, really that necessary?" She questioned her subordinates. Her followers merely shrugged their shoulders, while Tyrian let out a few small chuckles.

"I know you're watching this, I don't know who you are, and I honestly don't give a shit. I'm not in the best of moods for whatever game you have. You better stop following me and leave me the hell alone, otherwise what I did to your pet, will be nothing compared to what I'll do to you." He spoke through the Seer, assuming that someone was watching him through it. .

His tone and the way he spoke, made her servants glare daggers at him, even though he couldn't see them. How dare he speak that way to their mistress with such disrespect!?

"But if you really got the balls to face me, then by all means, come and get me. If not, then you stay in whatever rock you live in, and fuck off!" He said before flipping what she knew was his middle finger. Salem lost her smile when he made that gesture, and saw him standing up and slamming his foot on the Seer on his end, killing it in the process.

"HA! Now there's a man with a mighty and courageous spirit!" Thor bellows with a hearty laughter.

"I must say he truly does have the quality of a fine huntsman." Li agrees with his arms crossed.

"No question there." Summer smiles.

Everyone was quiet for a moment, while some of them, mostly Hazel was livid on how disrespectful the boy was to his mistress. And while Cinder was a bit livid herself, she did however like how much moxie he had when speaking to her mistress.

Salem slowly regained her smiled before dismissing her Seer. "Well now, that was a rather interesting first meeting. I look forward to see him again. in person that is." She then turned to her followers before standing up. "If any of you should ever encounter this man, I want you to bring him to me if you can. If he resists, you're free to do as you will, but I want him alive understand?" She said issuing a command to her followers.

"Yes, mistress." They all spoke in unison before departing.

As her followers left, Salem turned her gaze back at her Seer, which she called for it once again and have it re-show her the face of the boy that spoke to her. She gained a seductive smile, as she placed her hand on the frozen image of the boy's face. Salem purrs when her eyes met his, seemingly staring right back at her, as she gazed into the frozen image of the young man she could suddenly feel her heart beginning to pound like a drum, she felt her face growing warm as she gently caressed the frozen image. She wasn't sure why but for some reason she feels like she...knows this boy from somewhere, and yet she can't figure out why. Salem then moved forward and placed a small kiss on the picture of the young man's lips, before pulling away. On her hand was a silver ring with a dark purple gem with a reddish tint, surrounded by a serpent with its tail in its mouth.

Salem blinks in surprise to see her other self kissing the frozen image of the young man, while admiring a serpentine ring on her finger, the ring in question was indeed beautiful and seem to fit her nicely. The question is who gave her that ring in the first place?

"Oh yes, I look forward to meeting you in person, real soon." She said while licking her lips and chuckling while slowly stroking the frozen image of the boy.

The screen finally dims and Tai closed the book ending the chapter. Summer as well as everyone else turned their attention to both Ozpin and Salem who the former looked nervous under their gaze, while Salem was unaffected by them.

"I trust you all have questions about what you have learned in the chapter?" Imhotep asked knowing exactly what was going on in their minds.

They all nodded while Ozpin was inwardly panicking. Worried about what their host will reveal to them.

"Then you all might as well brace yourselves. For you will learn just what has been going on behind the scenes on your world."

To be continued.

FINALLY! FINALLY, AFTER ALMOST A WHOLE DAMN YEAR IT'S FINALLY DONE! Once I get the Chubby Muyo put together I am going on break to read one of my books I mentioned in TLC, and when I reach chapter 10 is when I will update at least one or two of my other stories, before doing a new one. On another note for any upcoming RWBY stories, those stories are for those who're still loyal and faithful to the show. Those who lost their faith in RWBY don't bother reading them.
