Welcome Hunters and Huntress to my RWBY Fanfiction. I absolutely love the series created by the late Monty Oum who has brought so many fans such joy. Also to give credit for the image I'm using, I had it commissioned by A-Sensitive-Cloud over on Reddit and I highly recommended checking out their work. This story will be going through each Volume. So please enjoy it.

The image is what my OC looks like

Chapter 1 - The Gray Thunder!

A lone Faunus stood outside of what was a shipping port that was moving a substance known as "Dust". For those who don't understand what Dust is, Dust is a source of energy in Remnant. The physical properties of Dust make it incredibly useful for a variety of purposes, particularly in the weapons of those who hunt these creatures referred to as Grimm.

This lone Faunus didn't use dust in his weapons which were two bracelets on each of his wrists which, when turned into the weapon variant, turn into two gauntlets that cover both hands and forearms and create claws on the end of his fingers. They aren't just used for close quarters combat they also produce concussive blasts that can be fired at long range. So yes his gauntlets are also his firearms. That's true for anyone's weapons.

"Naoki. I didn't expect to find you here."

The now named Naoki turned to see who had found him. "Adam? What are you doing here?"

"Our High Leader doesn't know you're here. But I did. The real question is. Why?"

Naoki turned, looking back at the dust shipments being moved. "Just needed some time alone."

Adam didn't say anything except. "Whatever you say."

Adam was a tall Faunus with a lean built and auburn hair that spikes backward in a windswept way. While most of his hair was red, he had streaks of brown. The most notable trait about him was the mask he wore as it obscured his entire upper face above his nose. It may not be the most obvious but his Faunus heritage was a bull, as he had two reddish-black horns, one on each side of his head, also seemingly slanted back. As for his attire Adam wore an asymmetrical black, long-sleeved, double-breasted stylized high-collared blazer with slit sleeves along with red thorn sigils adorned with a white crest that lined up on his left shoulder. His suit jacket had crimson lining atop his red shirt, with red thorn sigils atop a black flap attached to the bottom of the left hem and his wilting rose emblem on the back over an emblazoned white sigil resembling the curved stems and flower of the deadly nightshade plant. His blazer was half-buttoned, exposing a red shirt with a black line running parallel to his collar under it.

Compared to Adam, Naoki was of rather average height but wasn't as lean as Adam but wasn't bulky either he was more inbetween. Naoki's hair was short, gray and messy with spikes, his eyes were a light blue color. His Faunus heritage was that of a wolf with two gray wolf ears on the top of his head. Naoki also wore a mask that was similar to Adam's as it covered the top half of his face above his nose as well.

"Naoki. I want to know. Where are your loyalties truly?" Adam's voice was stern and filled with command.

Without hesitation je answered. "With the White Fang."

"Good. Now come on. The High Leader has something she wants us to do."

Naoki looked back at the shipments one last time before following behind Adam ready to return to the White Fangs main hideout.

5 Months Later

Naoki stood on the roof of the hideout clearly frustrated by something as Adam's voice broke the silence. "Naoki. You disobeyed orders. You put us all at risk. How could you be so reckless?"

Naoki turned to look at Adam. "I disobeyed an order that wanted me to kill an innocent man!"

"He had attacked us."

"He was defending himself! We were supposed to go into that facility and destroy it. Not kill anyone who tried to stop us."

"I was put in charge of the mission. You were supposed to listen to me."

"Really? Because Adam last I checked every time you lead a mission humans die. I'm not about to kill someone when I don't have to."

"So then what are you going to do? Runaway like your parents did? Like your sister?"

"No! I wasn't saying that." Naoki hung his head as the mere mention of his family had, brought up the last time he spoke to them.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought up your family like that. You are my brother Naoki. You know that I trust you. I just want to make sure you trust me."

Naoki let out a deep sigh. "Yes. I trust you. You and Ilia are the only family I have left."

Adam had walked up behind Naoki and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry. Things will get better."

"I hope so."

3 Months Later

Naoki was kneeling down before the High Leader of The White Fang, a Faunus by the name Sienna Khan.

Sienna was a female, Bengal tiger-based Faunus with amber eyes, dark complexion and wild black, chin-length hair with an asymmetrical bob style. Her Faunus trait manifested as an extra pair of ears, and her body was adorned with numerous tattoos resembling tiger stripes. She wore four golden earrings on three of her ears, one each on her Human ears, and two on her left Faunus ear as well as a small jewel on her forehead.

She was seen wearing a form-fitting dark gray sleeveless top with white trim, the top has a large diamond cut out of the back exposing most of her back accompanied by a smaller diamond-shaped cutout just above her breasts. A long gray skirt with white accents that shaped inwards towards her calves allowing from them to be partially revealed them and her over the knee black stockings with golden trim alongside two long splits on the side which revealed a pair of black shorts. Over the dress, she wore a back-revealing long red cape that was clasped by golden accessories at the top of her small diamond cutout, as well as a gray waist cincher with red trim that had a black golden buckled belt over it, which fastened a gray pouch on her right hip. Aside from that, she wore a pair of light gray wedged sandals that had red laces which were tied to her calves, as well as a black elbow-length fingerless glove on her right hand. She also wore a red rope with a golden bell on her left side wrapped around her waist with a matching rope wrapped around her right wrist. On her left wrist, she has a small gray vambrace.

"Naoki. You have become a problem. Many are starting to question your loyalty to the White Fang." Sienna leaned on her elbow as she glared down at the Wolf Faunus. "You have been disobeying direct orders for months now. Why are you doing this? You never questioned your orders before. Not until you let a human escape. Adam has told me you've become disillusioned with our goals." She looks to her side where Adam stood next to her, a hand resting on the hilt of his weapon. "The goal is to make all Faunus Equal. Do you wish to stop that from happening? Do you want all Faunus to be treated like lesser beings? Why have you failed to help us on this journey to become equal?"

"THE JOURNEY IS A LIE!" Naoki's voice echoed in the throne room as all went silent afterwards as the few members present looked from Naoki to Sienna who sat there silently for the moment.

Sienna's face never changed, keeping the same expression, still holding the same cold glare she had when Naoki first entered the room at her request. "Is it now?"

Naoki, realizing what he said, slowly stood up looking up at Sienna. "When I joined the White Fang I wanted nothing more than to see the Faunus become equal. But we won't achieve it by killing innocents." Naoki removed his mask allowing Sienna to look Naoki in the eyes. "I will no longer be a part of it." He tossed the mask making it land in front of the steps leading up to the throne. "I'm done." Naoki turned his back on Sienna and started to walk towards the two large doors leading into the throne room.

But before he could leave he was stopped as Adam had placed a hand on his shoulder. "Naoki don't do this."

Naoki said nothing and walked away, never looking at Adam unwilling to look at his old friend's face. Instead he chose to walk away. Forever.

One Year Later

The city of Vale was one of four major kingdoms that stood tall in the land of Remnant as each city stood as a reminder of humanity's perseverance and will to survive. The four cities showed that no matter what came to destroy humanity it would only inspire them to battle back.

Vale was a city that housed one of the largest shopping districts one could find along with many smaller settlements on the outskirts. The most well known part of Vale however was the prestigious Beacon Academy.

Beacon was a place that men and women come from far and wide to learn and train to combat the creatures known as Grimm. These men and women who come to schools like Beacon are those willing to dedicate their lives to defend Vale and its citizens. They become what is known as Huntsmen and Huntresses who are people with extraordinary skill and weaponry. Their weapons are used side by side by their unique powers known as Semblance. These trained fighters are humanity's first and last line of defense against the Grimm and those who seek to destroy humanity.

The Hunters and Huntresses became symbols of strength and pride but, more importantly, they were a symbol of hope.

It was here at the gates of Beacon that the young Faunus Naoki Blaze decided to head there as his eyes looked up at the school in awe as his eyes roamed the grounds. He could see people and Faunus who must've come from all over Remnant to become a Hunter or Huntress. Each was wielding their own unique weapons. Naoki's clothes seemed simple, being just a gray hoodie with three claw marks on the back that are under the hood. Underneath it he has a plain black shirt, he wears what would look like blue jeans that had ripped up knees, as for his footwear he wore boots that were made specifically for combat, fingerless gloves, and a pair of wristbands over his sleeves.

Naoki was brought out of his moment of awe as a nearby explosion caught his attention while his wolf ears twitched. He looked over to see three girls, one was wearing a regal white dress with a skirt who was currently yelling at a smaller girl wearing a red hood. He noticed a girl with a black bow sitting by with a book in her hand watching the whole ordeal. From what he saw she was wearing a black, buttoned vest with coattails and a single silver button on the front. Underneath this is a white, sleeveless, high necked, crop undershirt and white shorts with a zipper on the front of each leg.

She also wears black low-heeled boots and full stockings with a color gradation of black to purple at her ankles. Her emblem is visible on the outside of both thighs just below her shorts in white. On her left arm is a black detached sleeve with a silver cuff around her bicep, and black ribbons are wrapped around both forearms. A small, loose, black scarf is wrapped around her neck, and a gray magnetic backpack is strapped to her back, hidden by her hair.

He felt bad as the girl in white stomped off in frustration while the girl in black merely sauntered off leaving the girl in red. Said red dressed girl fell to her knees in sadness muttering to herself which made Naoki's ears fold over slightly. Naoki had walked over to the girl, extending a hand into the girl's vision with an offer to help her up.

The red hooded girl looked up with curious gray eyes, finding the Faunas boy standing there offering her help. She took his hand and in one swift motion he helped the girl onto her feet as he gave a friendly smile.

The short gray eyed girl smiled warmly as he let go of her hand. "Thanks for that..uh..um.." She was most likely trying to remember if she heard his name.

Naoki chuckled. "I'm Naoki Blaze. But, you can just call me Naoki. It's nice to meet you."

The girl's face lit up with a big smile. "Nice to meet you Naoki! I'm Ruby Rose!"

Naoki looked at Ruby seeing she was wearing a black long-sleeved blouse with a high collar and red trim on the sleeves, over which is a black waist cincher with red lacing up the front, and a matching skirt with red lining. She also wears a pair of thick black stockings and black combat boots with red laces, red trims around the top, and red soles. Her outfit is topped by a red hooded cloak fastened to her shoulders by cross-shaped pins. Her emblem appears as a large silver buckle on her wide black belt, which is slung around her hips on an angle. Attached to her belt are a pocket and a row of bullets.

Naoki chuckled. "Nice to meet you Ruby Rose. So I assume this is your first year at Beacon Academy?"

Ruby grew sheepish as she rubbed her arm. "That obvious huh..?"

Naoki laughed slightly. "Well last I checked, experienced Huntsmen and Huntresses don't go around blowing themselves up with Dust do they?"

Like a child flailing her arms Ruby replied. "But, it wasn't my fault! I mean it kinda was but still it was just an accident and now I won't have any friends because of it and this is going to be a horrible experience for me!"

Naoki crossed his arms as he let Ruby vent her frustration as he wanted to laugh at how fast she was talking.

After a few minutes Ruby finally finished taking a deep breath as she kicked at the ground realizing she just spilled her guts to a guy she had just met.

Naoki raised an eyebrow smiling at her. "Feel better now?"

"...a little." Ruby admitted as she kicked at the ground.

For a minute neither said anything until a laugh broke out and it was Naoki who started laughing while Ruby looked at him. Sadly it was a bit infectious as Ruby started laughing, unable to hold it in as she was laughing with the Faunus boy.

When they finally calmed down Ruby regained her breath as she shook it off. "So are you a returning student?"

Naoki wiped tears away from his eyes, calming down. "Nah this is actually my first year here."

A sweat drop trailed Ruby's head as she soon started crying crocodile tears. "I was hoping you would be able to show me around the school!"

Naoki raised his hands as he tried to calm the short red girl down. "Calm down, it can't be that hard to get around the area…...right?"

Later

The students of the Academy were all gathering together as Ruby came shooting in like a red ball of fire. The students around her raised eyebrows in confusion as Ruby ended up landing in the arms of a busty blonde haired teen who grinned like it was normal.

"Ruby!"

Ruby looked up seeing she was in her sister's arms so Ruby hugged her sister happily. "Yang! I'm so glad to see you!"

Before anyone could say anything a blur of gray had come right through the doors skidding to a stop. "Woah! See Ruby told you we'd find it!"

Ruby hopped out of her sister's arms and ran over to Naoki with an angry look and puffed out cheeks. "You could've warned me before you threw me like a ball!"

Naoki grinned at her. "You said you wanted to get here quickly and I got us here quickly."

Before the little argument could continue Yang decided to get between the two of them. "Ok! What the hell are you two talking about!? And how do you know this guy Ruby!?"

Ruby grinned as she appeared next to Naoki. "Yang, this is Naoki Blaze. Naoki, this is my sister Yang."

Naoki's ears folded over as said blonde was practically inspecting him like a lioness would a creature she was unfamiliar with. He had enough experience dealing with people looking at him weird since being a Faunus does that to you.

Naoki stuck out a hand to Yang fate be damned. "Nice to meet you Yang."

He could see she was wearing a tan jacket that bares her midriff, with golden brown piping and short, puffy sleeves with black cuffs that feature two gold buttons. Underneath this, she wears a low cut yellow crop top with her emblem on the left breast in black.

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 long, white, asymmetrical piece of material reaching to her knee on the right side, as well as a pair of tight black spandex compression shorts that reach her upper thighs. She wears a pair of brown, knee-high boots and orange over-the-knee socks, with the right sock pushed down just below the knee. A gray bandanna is tied around her left knee. In Volume 2, she wears a purple bandanna around the same knee. An orange infinity scarf and black fingerless gloves complete her outfit.

Almost without warning Yang gushed over his ears immediately invading his personal space as she started to scratch them and play with them which made him blush. "Your ears are so adorable! You're obviously a Faunus but I've never seen one like you before. Those ears are so cute!"

Naoki finally got the literal blonde bombshell to stop as his ears twitched. "Thanks. Never really get complimented like that."

After the little episode ended the room went back to being filled with chatter and groups being left to themselves. Naoki wasn't one to care what people think of him and neither was Yang while Ruby wasn't focusing hard enough on those in the background to care.

While the three talked, Ruby went on to explain what exactly happened when Yang left her behind. From running into a crabby girl who was actually Weiss Schnee the heiress to one of the largest Dust Companies in all of Vale. How she LITERALLY exploded and then how Naoki threw her like a dodgeball.

Before they could continue their conversation a familiar princess stomped over to them pointing a finger at Ruby. "You!"

On instinct Ruby jumped up into her sister's arms. "Oh god it's happening again!"

The girl in white merely continued. "You're lucky you didn't blow us right off the cliff!"

Yang looked at her sister who had jumped into her arms. "Oh my god you really exploded."

Ruby looked at the girl in white. "I told you it was an accident!"

Naoki rubbed the back of his neck. "Well to be fair you were shaking the vials of Dust around so..you're not entirely innocent in this either."

Ruby threw a smile towards Naoki, happy he was trying to help defend her over the incident while the girl in white gave him a dirty look.

She was wearing 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. On the back of the bolero is the Schnee Crest.

She also wears a small apple pendant on a silver chain and thin, rectangular silver earrings. Her boots are white, wedged heeled, and higher at the back than the front. They have a small silver decoration across the top of the foot and are lined in red. A thin white sash is tied around her waist with a pouch attached to the back.

"And just who are you?"

Naoki gave it a thought remembering how his sister would react to someone who acted this way towards her so he put his hands up defensively. "I'm just saying."

The girl in white grew red from frustration while Yang and Ruby were trying their best and failing to keep from laughing.

The girl all but yelled her question. "I said who the heck are you!?"

Naoki let out a sigh as he crossed his arms. "My name is Naoki Blaze."

The girl in white seemingly calmed down as she looked at Naoki. "My name is Weiss Schnee."

Naoki chuckled. "Well if you're the daughter of the man who owns the largest Dust company in Vale then you know well enough NOT to shake Dust Vials."

Almost as quickly as it left the laughter from Yang and Ruby came back twice as hard as the sisters gasped for air. Weiss on the other hand let out a scream of frustration as she threw her hands into the air which made Naoki's ears fold over.

"UGH! You are so infuriating!"

As Weiss stomped away anger clearly showing on her face as Naoki watched her walking away then Yang put an arm on Naoki's shoulder finally catching her breath. "This might just be the start of a beautiful friendship."

Soon a man dressed in a green suit with silver hair and glasses had walked up to a microphone with a metallic walking cane in his right hand. If Naoki was correct then he must be Professor Ozpin, the head of Beacon Academy.

"I will...keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge, to hone your craft and acquire new skills and, when you are finished you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But, I look amongst you and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose, direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this but, your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step."

Without so much as a second glance Professor Ozpin walked away leaving the students with feelings of anger, shock and denial. Yang huffed in anger at Ozpin's words while Ruby looked down in contemplation.

Naoki crossed his arms. "Sounds just like my Father." Naoki looked down at his sword. "This may be harder than I thought."

A blonde woman wearing glasses and a cape of sorts strode up to the microphone. "You will all gather in the ballroom tonight. Tomorrow your initiation begins. You are dismissed."

Later That Night

Naoki was sitting atop of the windowsill with a leg dangling outside as he looked out to the night sky.

His ears twitched as he looked to see Ruby next to him. "Penny for your thoughts?"

Naoki chuckled as he looked out at the view of the school while the wind rustled his hair. "Just thinking about home."

Ruby let curiosity get the better of her. "Where are you from?"

Naoki took a deep breath. "A small settlement outside of Vale. I lived in the forests with my dad, mom and my sister. The small Faunus community there is quiet and we keep to ourselves." He looked over at the girl with the black bow on her head. "Trying to get to know her not work out?"

Ruby rubbed the back of her head. "No. No it didn't."

Naoki merely chuckled slightly, shaking his head. "Sorry I shouldn't be laughing."

Ruby sat across from Naoki. "So I was wondering about something if you don't mind me asking."

Naoki looked at Ruby raising a brow. "What's on your mind?"

Ruby let out a deep breath. "What's your sister like?"

Naoki sighed. "She's always been a tinkerer. She loves building and disassembling things. Hell she built my weapons herself mainly because she said I was like a small electric inferno because I was alway so hyperactive and outgoing when I was younger. She'd always call me little brother, or little pup."

Yang had appeared nearly scaring him out the window and thankfully she chose to start tugging his ears and petting them. "Eh, I think I'd rather call you Wolf Boy."

Naoki had closed his eyes with a blush in bliss. "Come on Yang, cut it out.."

Yang giggled as she kept petting his ears as the boy practically melted into a puddle because of it. "Why? It's so much fun."

Naoki practically fell over onto the floor as Yang continued to scratch his ears as he growled like a dog while getting petted, seeming to enjoy it. Ruby couldn't help but laugh at the antics of her sister and friend while she yawned as it was time to get some sleep.

The Next Morning

A group consisting of Naoki, Ruby, and Yang had made their way to the lockers where their battle clothes and their weapons were stored.

Ruby was bouncing around like a rubber ball out of excitement. "Oh my gosh! Today's the day! We're gonna become Hunters and Huntresses! I am so EXCITED!"

Yang shook her head at her sister's antics before looking at Naoki. "Just try not to get left behind."

Naoki laughed as he crossed his arms. "Pfft. Speak for yourself. I can handle anything they throw at me."

The group separated as they went to their lockers to grab their clothes and weapons in order to get ready for whatever was coming. Naoki gathered his gear and got changed while doing so he looked around to make sure nobody was around. Once he was sure he soon readied his weapons as the writs bands changed, they became full fledged gauntlets covering both of his forearms, wrists and hands, once they did claws soon protruded from his fingertips, after that he thrusted his arm forward then back as it make a pumping sound and a shotgun shell flew from the chamber holding his other rounds.

Naoki caught it in his hand. "Nice."

He had his weapons return to being bracelets. He walked down the halls passing by other students but stopped when he saw Weiss talking to someone.

She had long red hair in a ponytail, as a top, she wore a brown overbust corset with a vertical strip of lighter brown in the center. Additionally, Pyrrha wore an elastic, black, A-line mini skirt and brown opera-length gloves on both arms. She wore a red ankle-length sash that wrapped around her skirt.

As for accessories, there was a small circular bronze plate on her right hip opposite two pouches with both connected to a belt. The plate bore her emblem. Underneath her hair, she always wore a brown circlet adorned with a pair of small, green, teardrop-shaped emeralds on thin chains. She also sported a large bronze gorget around her neck and a bronze bracelet on the upper half of her left arm.

Deciding that this wasn't his business Naoki walked the other way wondering what the first test he and any other student was going to have to take.

Outside On A Cliff Side

The faunus was about to find out as he joined a group of students consisting of Ruby, Yang, the girl with the black bow, Weiss, an odd girl with short orange hair who was bugging a teen who had long raven black hair and the redhead from before. Standing in front of them was Professor Ozpin and Professor Glynda and behind them down the cliffside was miles upon miles of forest.

Professor Ozpin took note of everyone who was standing in front of him before taking a sip of his coffee. "For years you have trained to be warriors and today your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest."

Glynda stepped in as she was holding a tablet and continued where Ozpin left off. "Now I'm sure many of you have heard the rumors about the assignment of teams. Well allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates…today."

Naoki had a sweat drop appear on his head as the realization of what was going to happen sank in. "Who do I even know at this school..there's Ruby. She's nice. She's funny. She's a total mess...There's Yang. She's cool. She's loud…she's also too fond of rubbing my ears…and there's Weiss…not even gonna go there."

He soon got brought out of his thoughts when he heard Ozpin say the following, "The first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years."

Naoki looked at Ruby seeing her world crumble before her so he just lightly chuckled at Ruby but suddenly stopped as he actually looked down. He saw they were standing on some kinda metal platform of some kind and it looked like it had a knight chess piece on it. "Weird?"

Suddenly the others started getting launched through the air which explains why they were on the platforms to begin with. He looked over at Ruby who gave a pleading look before she got launched through the air leaving Naoki there.

The faunus boy's ears folded over. "Never said this was going to be easy." He let out a sigh and perked up. "No time like the present!" It was his turn to be launched through the air, "YAHOO!"

Glynda pushed her glasses up with two fingers. "I still don't understand Professor Ozpin. Why would you allow that boy to come to Beacon Academy? Given his. "History". You still allow him to attend. Why?"

Ozpin simply took a sip from his coffee. "Given the fact he's the son of two people I've had a long history with. I feel that it is only right that I help him go down the path that I believe his father did." He looked down at his own tablet. "At least I hope so."

Emerald Forest

Naoki was soaring over the air laughing as he did and used the concussive shotgun blasts to launch himself even further along. After a small bit of time he saw a tree that just stood taller than the others approaching so he reached a hand out and grabbed onto it swirling down the runk leaving claw marks in the tree's trunk.

Once he safely landed on the forest floor he looked around. "Okay. Now I just need to head." He heard a snapping sound and quickly turned around readying his weapons as he fired a blast into the bushes and instead of hearing a Grimm scream in pain he heard a metallic clanging sound. "Huh?"

He saw the same redhead girl from before emerging from the bushes holding a round bronze shield. It seems the armor she had was elaborate bronze greaves that started below her mid-thigh before continuing downwards into her boots as well as a pair of cuisses that began mid-thigh and ended slightly above her knees. She was also equipped with a bronze bracer capable of connecting with Akoúo̱ atop the sleeve on her left arm. Her high-heeled boots were brown with bronze trim, matching her skirt and sleeves and reaching up to mid-calf.

Naoki gasped out of shock and shame. "I'm so sorry I didn't mean to fire at you, I thought you were a Grimm."

She placed the shield on her back. "No, I should be the one to say sorry. I shouldn't have snuck up on you like that."

Naoki retracted his weapons. "I'm Naoki. Naoki Blaze. A pleasure to meet you." He extended his hand out in front of the redhead with a smile.

The redhead returned the smile and grasped Naoki's hand, shaking hands with the faunus boy. "I'm Pyrrha. Pyrrha Nikos."

Naoki just smiled as the two let the other hand go. "Guess this makes us teammates huh?"

Pyrrha returned the smile. "Indeed it does." She looked at his gauntlets. "Those are pretty impressive. Did you make them yourself?"

"Huh?" He looked at his weapons realizing what she was asking. "Oh no actually my sister did. She's kind of an inventor. But I did tell her what I wanted them to do. So I helped. A little."

"That's really impressive." She took her weapon off her back showing it to him. "This is mine." She held out a javelin-sword-rifle combination.

Naoki whistled. "Impressive. Most impressive."

Before either of them could continue their talk Naoki's ears twitched as he quickly turned around readying his weapons. "Something is coming."

Pyrrha nodded as she readied her own weapons for whatever was coming until a large bear like Grimm stomped towards them. It was an Ursa Major which makes sense as it has large bone plating to help protect it, especially on the chest. Its paws are much larger, the claws longer, and have massive spines protruding down its back. The red marks along its skull are the only color on the model outside of the back fur and the white bones, and its eyes are soulless red. It even has a visible set of teeth, looking sharp and ready to tear apart unprepared enemies.

Naoki looked up in shock. "Okay. This might be harder than I originally thought."

End Of Chapter 1

So yes I have other stories but I haven't just sat down and just wrote anything in awhile. I did just that with this chapter. Hopefully that'll help me get over this block I've been dealing with. Anyway thanks for reading. I hope to see you again next time.
