What will happen in this chapter? Find out now!
[Play Opening One]
It's been a few weeks since Pyrrha and Jaune alongside Ren and Nora started dating, things have been fairly quiet since then. Everyone was still learning at Beacon, people were still living their daily lives, and the Hunters and Huntresses in Training were still training themselves.
The Gamer, meanwhile, has still been working with Ozpin and has been getting a steady flow of information still. He's been making sure his projects are still being worked on, and he's still got a lot of things right now.
Aaron was currently at the docks with his Team and Team RWBY, Aaron was holding a small cup of his favorite coffee. He had small bags under his eyes, apparently, the Gamer ability didn't always stop him from having a lack of sleep.
He had looked at Weiss with a small glare seeing as she was the one who woke him up THIS EARLY right after doing a lot of tax forms late at night, he still runs a lot of businesses after all.
"Weiss, why did you wake me up so early?" Aaron asked slightly annoyed
"Because the Vytal Festival is here." Weiss said
Aaron woke up a little more at that moment, he looked around and saw that the city was indeed getting ready for the Vytal Festival. He realized that it's here already, an event in Canon.
Along with the deadline for one of the most important events... a lot was coming up very soon and he didn't exactly have everything a hundred percent prepared.
Especially due to the fact that there was still a lot of information he was lacking right now with Cinder among other things... considering the Winter Maiden is missing also.
"What." Aaron said surprised
"I said the Vytal Festival is here, were you not listening?" Weiss asked angrily
"No no, I heard that but... it's already here? Now?" Aaron said holding his head slightly
"Yes, why?" Weiss asked now concerned
Aaron sighed as he looked away from the group and sipped his coffee with a serious expression, a lot of things were worrying him right now. The information he lacked made him have some doubts.
Including some recent security breaches they've had, there weren't any programs installed but a lot of people were killed... thus creating a shortage of guards that could protect the city.
"I'm so glad I put those warnings into place but we're still not entirely prepared." He murmured with a sigh
"What warnings?" Weiss asked confused
Aaron had looked back at the group, his serious expression intensifying slightly as he looked at them.
"Listen and listen well... we've got a lot of problems currently... for instance, I used to be a spy inside the White Fang Organization... I'll answer questions about that later. So hear me out for now." Aaron said
Everyone merely nodded in that moment, they were gonna get some serious answers about what he was up to in the past.
"For instance, someone I once knew that is dangerous in the White Fang is coming here soon. I gave a warning to Ozpin a few years back to be on the look out for that someone, it's for everyone's good. Alongside the people they were working with... we're low on guards because of these people." Aaron explained in a dark tone
Everyone looked at him with concern, it's like the end was near with how he was speaking. But it was understandable why he'd react like this, a low amount of guards plus a lot of dangerous information that could get a lot of people killed... makes a person worried about the future.
But it does beg the question... who is this person that he's so worried about.
"What do mean dangerous?" Blake asked
Aaron looked at her and gestured for her to come over, he put his hand over her normal ear, he glanced at the group as they wondered what he was about to say to her.
"One person, Adam Tauras." Aaron whispered
Blake had fear struck into her heart, Adam. Her old boyfriend, and most hated person to date. Aaron had backed off a little and looked at the group with a serious expression.
"Now, the thing I warned Blake about may have nothing to do with you... but in which case, it is still a high-ranking member of the White Fang organization that's here in Vale... one that may be acting under the orders of their main Leader elsewhere." He explained
Aaron sighed and looked at the sky with a serious gaze in his eyes, thinking about the events in Canon that happened and what he has to prevent from coming to fruition.
"The Vytal Festival is happening later after a couple of days, and that worries me because they might scale an attack... we're not sure... after all, I work closely with a lot of people despite being a Hunter in Training... I'm still a Police Officer and a Soldier by all means." Aaron said
Ruby had given him a small hug, it snapped him out of his thoughts. He then looked at Ruby, she was hugging him tightly as she looked concerned. He sighed and brushed his fingers through her hair.
"Sorry, sometimes it's just... hard to keep things safe. With all of the events and problems I've been told about... it worries about what's going to happen... I don't want to risk any lives... especially of those I care about." Aaron said
He hugged Ruby back after that note, earning a few aw's from nearby people. He had relaxed a little bit more and drank the rest of his coffee, he then teleported it to a trashcan as he focused back on Weiss with a more casual expression.
He can't focus too much on what's MAY happen... all he has to do is hopefully be prepared for whatever comes his way... he's doing his best to make sure certain events don't occur after all.
"So back to the Vytal Festival, it's a really nice day, isn't it? I mean... we're getting close to Fall and it doesn't feel that cold actually." Aaron said
"Yep, and I know the history of it. I've always loved the Vytal Festival for its culture and history." Weiss said
"I also know it, and I shall explain it since well... I am somewhat of an entertainer." Aaron said
Weiss then nodded and let him do his thing, she knew that he'd tell it pretty well. He's always been a bit of a storyteller, telling her tales about his time working with Winter and working with the Military for a bit.
She still found it a bit odd that Ironwood accepted him but it made sense considering how tough he was, he was considered a Specialist after all.
Aaron then had looked at the rest of the group, he had a look of a storyteller in his eyes. He focused his Magic and made a small screen in front of them.
[Play Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass Storytelling theme]
"A long time ago, there were was darkness. Then came from it, a bright light, Humanity had then existed but the everlasting darkness had come to attack and Humanity's last light was almost out. But that's when Dust was discovered, Humanity had a new light lit and had pushed back the darkness."
The images had shown humanity existing then being driven back by Grimm but then holding out a Dust crystal had moved them back as a bright light flashed around them.
"The four kingdoms of the world had been later born from this light, but the darkness had still surrounded the light. The festival is to commemorate the fact that the kingdoms had made the peace possible despite these circumstances, celebrating the culture by letting others in and have an exchange of culture. This also includes the one the excites people the most."
The scenes had shown the kingdoms rising up still being surrounded by darkness, it then changed to showing people having a fun time. It then changed to some curtains showing, all of this going with Aaron's words.
"The annual Fighting Tournament! Where people would test their skill in mettle... now it is much more different but still holds the same warrior spirit... and so we still celebrate this now... as a remembrance of the people of the world. Faunas... or Human."
The curtain was pulled showing two teams standing across each other in an arena with weapons drawn as a crowd was all around them cheering for them to fight.
The screen then faded away from his existence as his tale had ended.
"And that's the history of the Vytal Festival." Aaron finished
[End music]
The teams had clapped at Aaron's storytelling, he had bowed in response with a grin. He was always a bit of a showman himself.
"Thank you thank you, I'll be here all week." He said
Weiss had a content look on her face, he did explain it well and he did make it showy enough to keep people's attention. She'll have to give him that, even she was a bit entertained by the history of it.
And she already knew all of it.
"That's a good way of explaining the history, you even tied it some history of Remnant." Weiss said
"I do my best." Aaron said
Yang was actually pumped after seeing this amazing story, it may have been history but seeing that Humanity celebrated their culture through fighting actually made her even more excited for the tournament and the festival.
"Now I'm pumped for the fight!" She said a bit excited
"Yang, calm down now." Amber said sheepishly
Yang had calmed down a bit but she was still pumped up, Aaron then remembered something as he turned his gaze towards Weiss once again with a raised brow.
"Wait, we're here to see the competition right?" He asked
"No!" Weiss said offended
"Weiss, don't you know the old saying?" Aaron asked with a sigh
"And what would that be?" Weiss asked agitated
"Know thy enemy. There's no shame in having knowledge in a fight, knowledge is power, and power the key to victory. There is no shame in trying to learn about other teams and what they could do." Aaron said sagely
Everyone stood there in slight shock, it was a bit shocking that he agreed to this but... it was genuinely good advice, sure it was a tournament... but knowing what the enemy can do does make it easier.
Even if it does seem to be a bit unfair.
"That's some pretty good advice." Ruby said
"Thanks, so let's get going. Don't dally." Aaron said
He had decided to continue on their walk, they had noticed nearby a Dust shop was robbed. The police were investigating it nearby, he glared slightly at the scene with slight agitation, his ears moving a little.
'White Fang is still trying to continue Cinder's plan huh? That's gonna be annoying to deal with still.' Aaron thought in anger
"Another robbery, why would they just take the Dust?" One police officer asked
"I don't know, but we don't get paid enough for this." The other said
Weiss was also glaring at the scene in anger but for a different reason.
"Typical White Fang, they're just a bunch of degenerates." She said with spite
"Don't call them that!" Blake said semi angrily
Aaron knew what was going on and stood between them, he stuck his palms out while standing in between them with an annoyed expression. He'd rather not have this fight happen.
He'll prevent it right here... right now.
"Stop right now." Aaron said tensely
"Why should we?" Weiss asked annoyed
They had noticed the magic charging in Aaron's palms, he had looked at Weiss with his ears slightly folded as he glared at her slightly.
"Now is not time to argue about semantics." He said annoyed
Weiss's already pale face had paled even more at the sight of this but she didn't care, she wasn't gonna stand down from something like this.
"I'm not going to let this go, they're just a bunch of criminals!" Weiss yelled
Aaron then sighed, he then backed off. He knew that she was gonna be adamant and argue about this... him trying to stop it at this point might make the situation worse.
Ruby looked at him in confusion as he stood near her, he then looked at her with a raised eyebrow upon noticing her confusion.
"Why aren't you gonna stop them from arguing?" She asked
"Ruby, I can't stop them. I don't use my Semblance to hurt people that don't deserve it, I try and use it to stop them from hurting each other or to teach a small lesson... and it seems like I'm not gonna be able to stop them from arguing about this." Aaron explained
They had looked back at the argument, Blake was getting angrier every second as Weiss prattled on and on about them.
"Those Faunas only know how to lie, cheat, and steal!" Weiss said
"That's not entirely true." Aaron pointed out
"HEY STOP THAT FAUNAS!" A sailor said
The group looked over at where they heard the sailor, Aaron then face palmed in extreme agitation as he realized what event this was. This just made his point go down the drain in an instant, his life really sucks... he blames Murphy's law for this.
'Gods dammit Sun.' Aaron thought
That's when a monkey Faunas was seen holding a banana while standing on a street light with a grin, he looked back at the sailors whom were angry at their stowaway.
"Thanks for the ride guys!" The monkey Faunas said
Two detectives then arrived on the scene, Aaron was tempted to say something but... decided not to right now considering the fact that he's not exactly in the mood to deal with ANY of this.
"Get down from there!" Said one of the detectives
A banana peel is then thrown on his face as the monkey Faunas ran away, Aaron got the banana off the detective's face and teleported it to a trash can. He sighed soon afterward.
"I'll deal with him Detective." He said
"...You better." One of them said
He then notices Sun run by them, time slows down a bit as he winks at Blake while the Gamer just gives a small thumbs up.
'I should really stop him, then let him go just to screw with Weiss a little.' Aaron thought
'Agreed.' Dani thought with him
Aaron looked at his sister as time was still slowed down, he just raised an eyebrow in confusion while she had a casual look on her face while sipping on a smoothie.
'When did you get here and how are you reading my mind?' Aaron asked
'About two minutes into Weiss's argument with Blake... and we're twins... remember?' Dani said
'Right... wait, when we could we do that?' Aaron asked
'...I think about a week ago?' Dani said
'...Makes sense to me... I was wondering if you said something during our training session.' Aaron said
Time then speeds up and Sun continues running away at a faster pace soon afterward, The Gamer looks at Weiss with a slightly bored expression soon afterward.
"Weiss, that's the competition." Aaron said
"AFTER HIM!" Weiss said pointing forth
Aaron nodded, he then focused his magic. He flew in the air, he opened the chat room.
[Crystal Hero opened the chat room]
CH: I'm in the air and I'm after him.
RR: Alright.
SD: Awesome!
SC: Keep an eye on him.
GC: Good luck!
SD: Try to get him.
BC: Don't try to hurt him.
IS: We need to study him!
CH: Got it!
[Crystal Hero closed the chat room]
Aaron then continued flying after him, he noticed the team had bumped into Penny along with his. Dani merely smiled, Penny was one of her favorite characters in RWBY.
The Gamer finally found the Monkey Faunas as he had stopped on a roof, the Monkey Faunas looked at him playfully as he landed a few feet nearby.
"So you got me?" The Faunas said
"Yes, Sun." Aaron said
"So you know my name?" The monkey Faunas known as Sun asked a bit surprised
"Yep, Sun Wukong. Haven Academy. You came here early... that much I know... gotta say, what you did was PRETTY illegal." Aaron said simply
"You think you have me right?" Sun asked with a raised brow
"Correct, by the way. Look at your feet." Aaron said
Sun Wukong looked down to see that he was frozen in place, he looked back up at him in fear. He knew that he was probably in a lot of trouble for what he did now... especially considering that the Faunas in front of him could keep up
"Who are you?!" He asked in fear
"I'm Batman." Aaron said in a deep gravelly voice
Silence reigned over the area for a bit as Sun's fear then turned into confusion while the Gamer stood there and looked at him with a slightly blank expression.
"...What?" Sun asked in confusion
"...Just joking... my name is Thompson, Aaron Thompson." Aaron then said jokingly
"Oh, so your name's not Batman?" Sun asked confused
"Of course not... listen, I let you go if you promise me this." Aaron said
"What is it?" Sun asked with a curious tone
"...You owe me a pizza." Aaron said simply
"...What." Sun said in confusion
Aaron then unfroze his leg, The Gamer took a couple of steps back soon afterward with a bored expression.
"You heard me, a pizza. One medium pepperoni pizza, that will be all." He said casually
"...Okay then... see you later?" Sun said
"Yep, I mean... I go to Beacon Academy so." Aaron said
He jumped off the roof and flew away, he then opened his gauntlet, he told Weiss that he got away. He heard the Heiress's anger from far away which made him chuckle slightly, he then teleported there a few moments afterward to save time.
He saw Penny nearby with a smile, he looked at her with a grin as he waved slightly at her.
[Play Saturn Valley theme from Earthbound]
"We meet again Penny." Aaron said
"Oh, hey Aaron!" Penny said happily
"Wait, you know her?" Haruko asked surprised
"Yep, been a bit hasn't it?" Aaron said, ignoring Haruko after telling her answer
"I'm so glad you gave my father those tips!" Penny said
"Anytime, tell him I said hi. Gepetto is a good friend of mine and we haven't talked for a bit." Aaron said
"Of course, how are you?" Penny asked
"Good, and I see you've meet Ruby?" Aaron asked
"Yes, I've talked to her... she's quite nice." Penny said happily
"Then you know about us dating then." Aaron said with a small smile
"Of course, I could tell by her adamant words about you when she mentioned you but I thought it was someone else. I did remember you talked about someone like her so fondly." Penny said with a smile
"Common mistake, we're going on another next week. How was your trip here? I take it was enjoyable?" Aaron asked
*Record scratch*
"Whoa, whoa, whoa." Yang said
The blonde then got between the two, which interrupted their conversation as everyone wondered how in the hell did these two know each other.
"How do you know each other?" Yang asked
"It was on one of my travels, I had met her father and I helped him with a project of his. I can't elaborate more on it, it's top-secret, and I swore to never tell anyone about it due to its nature. I helped Penny with her life and taught her some important stuff, I even told her about my life. I wasn't able to always keep in contact with her, so it's nice being able to reconnect." Aaron explained
"And that's how you met?" Arian asked simply
"Yep!" Aaron said casually
The rest of Team ATAC, and Team RWBY all face-faulted while Dani just looked at the scene a bit sheepishly while tilting her head slightly. Aaron had blinked slightly as he looked at them a bit sheepish while Penny stared in confusion.
She had no idea what just happened, she's not exactly... good with social situations still. Even with all the contact she had with the Gamer and some other people.
"I probably shouldn't have said that so casually." Aaron said, rubbing the back of his head
"Definitely." Dani said a bit sheepish
"Why would everyone face fault over our shared history? Is it not true what happened?" Penny asked
"Talk to your father about that one, well see you Penny. I'm betting you have things to do." Aaron said
Penny then went on her merry way with a little hum, he grinned a little as she walked away from the scene.
'I always did like Penny, she's like a very curious little sister.' Aaron thought to himself
'Thinking the same exact thing.' Dani thought with him
Aaron then looked back at the others, Blake and Weiss went back to their argument which made him look a bit annoyed. He was hoping they'd stop talking about this by now... guess he can only hope huh?
"Stop it!" Blake yelled angrily
"Stop what? That rapscallion broke the law! Give him time, he'll join the rest of those degenerates!" Weiss yelled back angrily
"You ignorant brat!" Blake said
She then walked away, Weiss and Blake continued to argue the whole way back to Beacon. Aaron getting more and more agitated, Ruby did help calm him down a little but he was still getting angry.
They were now in the dorm watching the situation, Aaron being visibly angry while the others watched a bit disappointed in Weiss.
"How is this an issue!?" She yelled annoyed
"You're causing the issue!" Blake argued
"You're defending a group of Faunas that want to destroy humanity as a whole!" Weiss argued
"There's no such thing as true evil, it's people like you and Cardin that caused them to hate humanity so much! It's people like Aaron who get their lives disrupted by them!" Blake argued
"She has a good point Weiss." Aaron said through clenched teeth
"Her logic is sound considering everything that happened." Dani said slightly annoyed
"You think I'm like Cardin?" Weiss yelled with an indignant tone
"Your discriminatory!" Blake yelled
"I'm a victim! You want to know why I hate the White Fang, you do! Well, I'll tell you why! The reason is that they killed off people I cared about, they made my life difficult by messing the the company which caused my father to lash out, it took one person to make some change! And I'm trying my best about it but it's hard to not remember what they've done!" Weiss said
"Weiss, calm down." Arian said
"NO! THE WHITE FANG IS EVIL AND SHOULD BE DESTROYED! They're just a bunch of thieves and liars!" Weiss yelled
"Well, maybe we were tired of being pushed around!" Blake yelled
The room suddenly went deadly silent, Weiss backs up surprised at this. Everyone except Aaron looks at her in shock, Blake then dashes out the door.
Aaron walks over to Weiss, he has a look of fury on his face. He was hoping that she'd just DROP THE TOPIC ALREADY!
"You really are ignorant, aren't you?" Aaron said in silent fury
"So she is one of them, wasn't she?" Weiss said angrily
Aaron's dark aura then flared outward, he looked at Weiss with even more fury. He was getting sick and tired of this. She was making progress and now she was regressing slightly back into that shallow hole she was in.
"Don't assume things Weiss, you need shut up, calm down a bit, and think about the situation for a moment." Aaron said
He walked away from Weiss, he looked back at her, his eyes glowing red slightly as he growled in anger.
"Don't assume everything based on little fact Weiss, even I'm aware of that." Aaron said
Weiss was filled with fear as she realized how badly she had just screwed up, he glared at her even harder. He wasn't in the mood to deal with this, he has bigger threats and wanted to avoid this.
"That's smart for a Faunas... huh?" Aaron said
He looked at Ruby with a serious gaze, he needs to take care of some things and do damage control on the situation.
"I'll be with her for a bit, I would recommend you start looking while I start supporting. I'm not gonna be able to tell you where she is... she needs some time alone, you should look for her yourselves." Aaron said
He then teleported away, not before leaving scorch marks on the area below. Arian walked over to Weiss and put a hand on her shoulder.
"He's right you know... we don't have all the facts about Blake... Aaron knew her the most." He said
"My bro does know what he's talking about sometimes." Dani said
Weiss looked down in thought and clenched her fists slightly... she really messed up... didn't she?
Blake was now seen looking at a statue, Aaron saw as she pulled off her bow.
"Glad you finally decided to stop wearing it." He said with a smile
Blake turned around to see Aaron with a sympathetic look on his face, he put his arms out.
"Don't be afraid to let it out." He said
Blake ran over and hugged him, she sobbed into his shirt soon afterward. Aaron then hear some footsteps, he put a serious look on his face.
"Sun, I know your here." Aaron said
"Of course, something happen?" Sun said confused
Aaron then opened his gauntlet, he typed a message for Ozpin.
{Blake told the truth about her heritage, she needs a break. I'll be supporting her for a little bit.}
Aaron sent the message, he patted Blake on the head. She let got, Aaron had returned his shirt to it's original state. He's luck that he can do that sort of thing, saves on dry-cleaning.
And he can't always afford to pay for that sometimes, even with all of his businesses.
"Come on, we're taking a break." Aaron said
Sun was now standing nearby, Aaron put his hand on the ground as a large magical circle appeared under the three of the,.
"Teleport." He said
A bright light was now under Aaron, Blake, and Sun. It flared up and they were gone, leaving behind a small note that glowed slightly.
{Be back soon}
{Aaron}
A couple of days later...
Aaron was now sitting with Blake and Sun, they were sitting in silence.
Until Blake stopped sipping her tea and she put it down.
"Looks like I'll have to explain." Blake said
"Finally, she speaks!" Sun said
Aaron elbows him in the gut, he really needs to learn how to read the room sometimes.
"AGH... I was kidding." Sun said annoyed
"Just be glad I didn't give you a boot to the head or the legendary three shoe beating." Aaron said
"Three shoe beating?" Sun asked
"You don't want to know." Aaron said darkly
He then looked back at Blake with a somewhat serious look.
"Enough Kitten around, we need to get down to business." Aaron said
"Monkey business?" Sun asked with a grin
"No and since my Semblance gives me an ability for this kind of thing, I help Blake explain everything." Aaron said
Aaron then made then magic screen again, Blake was connected to the screen through a thing thread coming from where here heart is.
"Sun, are you familiar with the White Fang?" She asked
Sun was about to say something overblown, but Aaron glared at him with the 'Don't do any stupid shit' look.
He immediately gave a more calm expression.
"Yes, I am familiar with that group." Sun simply responded while nervously looking at the Gamer
Aaron nodded at his response which made him breathe out in relief soon afterward, and Blake continued.
"I was a part of it for a bit."
"You were?" Sun said surprised
"Back then things were simple, things were different. The White Fang was a peace group made to bridge gaps between humans and Faunas, we were a group bent on peace. My father used to be the Leader a long time ago in fact." Blake explained
"Wow..." Sun said
The scene shows a human and a Saunas shaking hands as she spoke the words, the scene then changes to the human now harassing the Faunas. The Monkey Faunas frowns at this, knowing that was an accurate depiction.
"Despite the promises made, it never did happen. We were still thought of as lesser beings, so the White Fang was supposed to be the voice of our people... and I was one of them." Blake explained
A younger Blake was shown at one of the rallies with other Faunas and few people, all in support of Faunas Rights.
"I took a part in every rally and boycott but during that time I was an optimist. I thought things were going to be better at that time... little did I know that things would change later." Blake explained
The scene then changes to someone with the old White Fang symbol behind them stepping down, and a new one with the current one rising up.
"Five years ago, things changed. My father had stepped down and a new one stepped up, and this one was bent on using a new way of thinking. Sienna Kahn." Blake said
"Whom I still have a bone to pick with." Aaron growled
The scene from earlier now had the Faunas using a weapon to fight back the human, Sun looked down slightly as Blake looked at the Gamer confused for a few moments before shaking her head.
She had no time to focus on that... she needed to tell the truth.
"Instead of peaceful protests, we organized attacks. Instead of boycotting shops, we set fires to them. Instead of asking people to stop using Faunas labor, we hijacked them. The worst part of all of this was... it was working... but instead of respect, we got fear." Blake explained
The scene then changes to a Faunas looking down at a human with a malicious grin and a bloody axe.
Aaron then disconnects his Magic and looks at a shocked Sun.
"That's when she left seeing things changed, and she became a Huntress in training. She did all using a little bow to not be a criminal, and the rest is history. I knew here in the White Fang because I used to be a Spy... I managed to get a lot of information before I left... good thing too since I was about to be found out." Aaron finished
Blake nodded slightly in confirmation, she did remember that Adam mentioned a spy that managed to escape... it must have been him then seeing as he looked eerily similar to the one mentioned.
Sun looked at Aaron with a curious expression.
"What's your story?" He asked
Aaron looked at him in shock, he then calms down slightly. He looks down, with a shadow over his eyes. He thinks about it for a moment, he knows that he shouldn't... but at this point... he can't lie to them any longer.
He then sighs as he looks at them with a slightly flinty look.
"Okay... but you can never tell anyone of this." Aaron said
"You don't have-"
"I need to get this out. I've been lying about this for too long... about who I am." Aaron interrupted

[Play Final Fantasy X Main Menu Theme]
Aaron then looked at them, his eyes filled with sadness as he looked back on his life slightly.
"A long, long time ago. The universe was born, and from it came life. After a bit, the first bit of life was born and came from it was the start of time itself along with the timeline." Aaron said
"Wait, what does this have to do with you?" Sun asked confused
Aaron then glared at him annoyed, did he really need to interrupt right now when he was just about to explain?
"I was getting to that." He said
Aaron then cleared his throat and continued.
"After a bit, multiple universes started to exist. Through this came endless possibilities being made, this was called multi-universe theory. I was born along with my twin in one of the universes by my mother."
"You were born here and then you lived with Ruby and her family." Blake said bored
"Nope, that's not even the case actually." Aaron said simply
That's when Sun and Blake but looked at him with confusion. What did he mean by that? A few moments of thought and... they realized what he had mean by that soon afterward.
Aaron noticed this and had nodded in confirmation.
"That's right, me, my mom, and my twin... we were all born in another universe." He said
"I don't believe it." Sun said a bit skeptical
"...Well, then... I know just how to prove it then." Aaron said crossing his arms
He looked at him with a sharp gaze soon afterward, he had an idea that was going to work. He knew exactly who to call on.
"...Chrono... come on out." He said
Soon afterward, the mythical man himself appeared in white sparkles floating in the air. They were lucky that not many people were around or else it would be pretty weird to see a man floating in the air.
The Gamer lazily gestured to him.
"This guy will confirm it." He said
"Yep, this guy is from another universe... now before you think I'm his Semblance... Blake, have you ever seen him do anything like this?" Chrono asked
"U-uh no." Blake said surprised
"Exactly... now if you excuse me... I've got other matters to attend to... peace!" Chrono said
He then disappeared, Aaron sighed soon afterward while shaking his head.
"Well... there's your proof." He said
"...Okay... considering the fact that was really weird... I'm gonna believe you." Sun said
Aaron nodded before looking down slightly with a sad expression on his face.
"...I died in the universe I was born in actually." Aaron said
"Wait what?!" Blake asked shocked
"Yes, I died in it. I was sent here to stop a great evil, I can't reveal her name yet... not until after I kill a certain someone." Aaron said with a serious expression
"Who?" Blake asked
"...Cinder." Aaron said in a serious tone
"Who's that?" Sun asked with a confused expression
"A very evil person, this goes way beyond anything else. The only other people who know of my origins are Yang and Ruby's father and uncle, Ozpin, Glynda, Amber, and Haruko." Aaron said
"Wait? Amber and Haruko?" Blake questioned
"I'll explain a long time later, for now. We need to stop the White Fang's current plan, which to rob a giant Schnee freighter." Aaron said
"How would you know that?" Sun asked
Aaron looked at Sun with annoyance before groaning exasperatedly.
"I'm a detective... and I had this information in my pocket." He said
Not entirely a lie, since he was a detective there were some suspicions of the White Fang robbing a giant Schnee Freighter... so he was able to use that to his advantage to tell a half-truth.
"That makes sense... you don't seem like a detective though." Sun said
"...Just be glad I like you to a certain point, otherwise you'd be like Cinder when I get my hands on her." Aaron said with a pointed glare
"Wait how did Dani get to this universe then? You died but... you never said she died too?" Blake asked
"Long story that I'll explain when this is all over." Aaron said with a serious expression
Sun backed off and they got their plan together, they left the shop paying for the tea as they now had a plan to put into action.
A little bit later
Right now Aaron is on a rooftop looking at the docks with Blake and Sun who currently isn't around, he noticed It with a bored expression as he looked at the Cat Faunas near him.
"He's stealing something." He said plainly
"Don't assume that." Blake hissed
Aaron then raised an eyebrow and looked at her with a questioning gaze soon afterward.
"Did you forget how we met him?" He asked
"Okay, you're right. Jeez." Blake said
"Of course I'm right... I mean come on, the guy stowaway'd on a boat... there was a pretty big chance he'd be a bit of a thief too." Aaron said
"What did I miss?" A voice then said
Sun then came back with two green apples, Aaron glared at him slightly soon afterward. He may have the Thief Class but he has standards when it comes to stealing, he'll steal from another thief but a shop owner trying to make money.
That's where he draws the line usually, amongst many other lines because he has pretty high standards for that kind of thing.
"No." He said plainly
Aaron then teleported the apple back to the area he stole them from, he sighed reached into his small bag that he pulled out from his jacket pocket (read: his Inventory).
He grabbed out a banana, a box of sushi, and a slice of pizza from it with a plain expression.
He handed the banana to Sun, the box of sushi to Blake, and ate the pizza slice.
"How did you keep these items in that bag?" Sun asked
"Magic." Aaron deadpanned
"...Keep your secrets then." Sun said
They then looked over and saw the White Fang had arrived, Aaron nodded at Blake and Sun.
"Targets have arrived, let's cause some monkey business." He said with a smirk
Sun smirked at the pun while Blake rolled her eyes, they looked over at a new voice.
"Hey! what's the hold up!" The new voice said
"ROMAN?!" Aaron said shocked
He noticed him over there, he put his hand on his head as he remembered that he was in jail.
"How did he?" Aaron asked himself before coming to a realization
Cinder broke him out... she broke him out of jail... just to continue her goddamn plan... she's determined and that's starting to piss him off a little.
"Fucking Cinder." He hissed
"She broke him out?" Blake asked
"Yes, I thought I had him put away. Looks like even without Amber, she can still do some powerful stuff." Aaron said
"Amber?" Sun asked
"I'll explain later, for now. I need to go put him away again, this time a bit longer." Aaron said with a glare
He drew his weapon out along with Blake, Sun looked at them in confusion. He had no idea what they were about to do and wasn't liking it every much honestly.
"What are you doing?" He asked alarmed
"My job." Aaron said
He then teleported him and Blake behind Roman without anyone noticing them. Blake had her blade at his throat while Aaron kicked his cane away, they both looked at the White Fang members.
The Gamer turned his sword into a gun and aimed it at them, making sure to keep his finger on the trigger. He wasn't gonna let anyone try anything right now.
"Attention Faunas, you are all under arrest. Put your hands in the air!" Aaron yelled
"And wave them like we just don't care?" One of them asked
"...That's optional." Aaron replied
"No, weren't going doing like this." One of them said with a determined expression
Aaron then put his hands on the ground then a giant pillar of fire appeared nearby him, some of his clothing was burnt off as he planed immensely along with quite a few others.
"Anyone else feeling a bit stupid?" He asked
They quickly shook their heads no, Aaron then smirked slightly. At least these mooks were smart enough to not try and attack them when he showed them what could happen.
Though what he did had taken some MP out but it was a good enough bluff nonetheless. He can't do too many of those after all.
"Good, as for you Roman. Cinder busted you out, didn't she?" Aaron questioned
"How do you know who she is?" Roman asked surprised
"Because I'm going to kill her and the false Goddess she worships, and you want to know why?" Aaron asked
"...Alright, I'll play along... why?" Roman asked
"I'll tell you why, it's because she'll cause so many deaths if she wins... including yours." Aaron said
"Wait, what!" Roman said angrily
"Yep, and Neo will be all alone." Aaron said
"How do you-"
"I know a lot about your personal life Roman, now shut up and come with us peacefully!" Aaron yelled
"Nope! I'm gonna need some assistance here!" Roman yelled out
Blake's blade was shot out of her hand and Roman rolled over to his cane, Aaron then turned his gun on him as he was about ready to fire it as three more bullheads came in.
He realized that he must have ordered a lot of back-up then, he growled angrily as he knew what was about to happen
"Shit!" Aaron yelled
He then dodged an explosive flare right as the bullheads landed, revealing plenty of White Fang troopers. The Gamer sighed slightly as he transformed Vita's Pax into its sword form, readying a card to break.
"Dammit... guess I'm in for a fight huh?" He asked
Meanwhile
Ruby and Penny noticed that flames were rising in the distance near the docks... the two had a feeling that something was going on there... and it wasn't good.
Ruby looked on in worry, having a feeling that her boyfriend was there... and most likely fighting whoever WAS there.
"...I have a feeling that Aaron is there." Penny said
"...Then we're gonna have to go help him." Ruby said
She then charged forth with the Android Girl following her, they had to help out the people they cared about... it did leave them wondering what they had gotten themselves into now?
Back at the battle
[Play Wild Arms 3 Battle theme]
Currently, Aaron was fighting off large groups of Faunas, he looked over to see Blake was fighting Roman along with Sun. They were doing well but they were still having trouble.
He wasn't doing too bad... but he was exhausting himself slightly, he's never fought such a large army before by himself. Even of this size, plus most of them had Aura... which made things hard enough.
Aaron then noticed one carrying a minigun, his eyes widened as he saw the barrel begin to move.
"Oh shit, Heavy!" Aaron yelled
The gun started to rev, he had jumped high over the bullets. He then kicked downwards, flying towards another person in the large group. He kicked the guy in the face as he was landing and then kicked them across the battlefield before shooting a few bullets at the soldiers around him.
He breathed out slightly soon afterward, this was starting to take a bit of a toll. He took a quick swig of a Stamina Potion (which restored his HP, MP, PP, SP, and Aura) and felt a lot better soon afterward.
He then heard some footsteps behind him, he turned around to see a group of White Fang member pointing their guns at him. In response, he smirked slightly soon afterward as he prepared a spell.
"Hey guys, hows the health plan?" Aaron asked causally
They then started to fire at him, the bullets bouncing off his Barrier that he managed to cast over him. He knew that he could fire out of it and it was tough enough to handle their bullets.
If it can handle an Alph Beowolf, then it can handle a few bullets from sub-standard guns.
"Apparently it's great!" Aaron yelled
Then started to fire rapid-fire around everyone, he then spun around and kicked a person high into the air after dashing towards them. He then turned around and punched another in the face before spinning and kicking one behind him
He then turned around to the member that he punched, who was on the ground afraid with their gun a fair distance away.
"Sup." Aaron said casually
"Please don't hurt me." The soldier said
"Already did." Aaron said
"What." Is all he could say when he suddenly passed out
Aaron panted a little, he then looked over to see Ruby had joined the battle while the carnage occurred.
"Ruby!" Aaron yelled
A bunch of other White Fang soldiers then surrounded her, his eye's widened as he knew she'd have a harder time then he did fighting them. After all, they weren't Grimm... they were a lot more clever.
And he can't risk losing her to them... they'd probably kill her for being a Human!
"NO!" He yelled
The soldiers then hear some yelling behind them, they look around.
"Wait, who's yelling?"
[End Music]
[Play Megalovania at 1.2x speed]
Aaron's sword lights on fire as he charges towards the White Fang Soldiers with a glare in his eyes as they were a bright red with energy crackling around his body slightly.
"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM HER!" He yelled
They looked over at Aaron in fear, then were then attacked by him. One was punched in the face, another was kicked, another hit Aaron on the back of his head but it broke their weapon.
"What!" They yelled in fear
Aaron then transformed due to the amount of pure rage in his system into the Dark Dragoon form. He then looked at him with a glare, he then slashes the air rapidly soon afterward.
The soldier looks in confusion, wondering what the hell that did. Aaron then merely pointed a finger at him with a menacing expression.
"One Thousand Hits." Aaron said
"What?" They said in confusion
They then felt immense pain, they passed out and fell over to the ground defeated.
Aaron looked at the last one, he stood there in fear.
"I don't want to die, I didn't mean no harm." They said in fear
"Then you shouldn't have joined the White Fang." Aaron said venomously
"All we wanted to do is just be equal, but we must have lost sight of the goal." They said remorsefully
"Yeah, you did." Aaron said angrily
"Maybe I should quit the White Fang and find a new path?" They suggested full of hope
"Well... you probably should have said that before I punched you in the face." Aaron said rolling his eyes
"When did you do that?" They asked confused
"...Right now." Aaron said casually
Aaron then lite his fist on fire, and he punched him in the face. The transformation ends as he's used up all the Magic in his system, he was dead-tired... but he managed to get them away.
He turned around and saw one was about to attack him, he blocked their attack but was back-attacked by another White Fang member before being attacked by another.
They kept attacking him, hurting him more and more as time went by. His Aura steadily lowered as he was hit each and every single time without being able to fight back
Aaron slides backward as he was kicked away, he looked up at them and tried to grab his weapon but it was kicked away by one of the soldiers. He growled slightly to himself as he realized he can't summon it back without using MP.
He's already out and... he doesn't have any Mana Potions on him right now. He already used them all in his training sessions and didn't make anymore... a rookie mistake.
A White Fang Soldier took out a knife as two of them held his arms, Aaron looked down with a sigh as he realized... he was probably going to die. His body couldn't move anymore due to how exhausted he was and he didn't have his Secondary Weapon... he was modifying it slightly before Weiss took him out.
And he forgot it back at Beacon when he was staying with Blake and playing emotional support.
Meaning that right now... he didn't have a lot of options.
"...I've lost... dammit." He said
Aaron kept his eyes closed as his attacker raised the knife over him, Ruby watched on in fear. She looked at Aaron with determination as she fired off a bullet towards the White Fang Soldier attacking him.
They fell over, making Aaron open his eyes and look over at her in shock with the others looking at her angrily.
She then put her hands over his mouth.
"DON'T GIVE UP NOW AARON!" Ruby yelled
He then feels a new from within him, he grinned slightly as that energy charged through his veins like lightning as his Mana instantly recharged... he then noticed his PP run down to zero soon afterward.
Unlike the Dark Dragoon form or Red Mage form, this form had a warm yet powerful feelin. He then transformed into the new form, which caused a bright flash of light as the White Fang Soldiers around him were blasted away.
This new form looked a lot like a white variation of his Dark Dragoon Form... a Light Dragoon Form... that would be a fitting name for it.
Aaron looked at his attackers with his now sky blue eyes and grinned under his helmet.
"...It's over." He said
Aaron summoned his which turned into a spear in his hand, he then aimed it at it downward as a bright white circle appeared under them. Aaron then uttered some words.
"Lux."
A bright light engulfed the area, when it died down... all the White Fang Soldiers were on the ground defeated with slight groans. The Gamer slowly landed onto the ground soon afterward.
He then lowered his spear soon afterward. Aaron transformed back to normal, he looked over at Ruby with his normal blue eyes and smiled.
[End Music]
"Hey Ruby, we still up for that date?" Aaron asked
"Yeah, so what about the other White Fang Soldiers?" Ruby asked confused
Aaron looked over to see Penny using her weapons on the bullheads that were getting away, he looked back at her with a wide grin.
"Penny's got it, so we should go get Blake and Sun." Aaron said
"Okay, how can Penny do that... and who's Sun?" Ruby asked
"That Faunas from a couple of days ago." Aaron explained
"Oh, well I'm up for new friends!" Ruby said
"Alright, after this battle is over." Aaron said with a chuckle
Aaron noticed Roman was at the last transport, Aaron teleported over there with a bright blue flash. Roman noticed him standing nearby with a glare and jumps back slightly in shock.
Right when he was about to get away too.
"You're going back to prison, Roman." Aaron said
"I'll just break out again!" Roman yelled
"Not this time, I'll make sure of it." Aaron said
He then coated his fist in bright flames, he then looked at Roman as he reared it back soon afterward with a slight grin on his face.
"Flare Punch." Aaron simply said
He then punched him in the face thus knocking him out, he picked up Roman's body, placed it over his shoulder, and teleported back over to Ruby with a slight grin on his face and slight thumbs up.
"Got Roman." Aaron said
"...Don't ever change Aaron." Ruby giggled
About an hour later
The police had shown up and took Roman back into custody, Aaron's currently explaining what happened in the last couple of hours to Weiss which she was surprisingly understanding of.
Obviously omitting a few details, like his origins being mentioned. He'll explain it to her after he defeats Cinder.
"And that's what happened." He finished
"You mean to tell me that she was a part of the White Fang back when it was peaceful and then left after differences on how it should be run along with the fact that her father was the former leader?" Weiss recounted
"Yep, pretty much." Aaron explained
Weiss then walked over to Blake, she put a hand on her shoulder with a soft expression.
"You should come to your teammates and friends... I know I was... wrong but I'm willing to understand sometimes... seeing what the White Fang did to that store just... set me off slightly." She said
"...Thinking on your words... yeah... I can understand why that'd set you off slightly... I kind of assumed it was over... the Faunas mainly." Blake said
"Aaron is one of my greatest friends... but I do not blame you for thinking that... next time if something is bothering you... don't run off... especially with some guy you barely know coming along with." Weiss said
As she mentioned Sun, he waved slightly with a smile. Ruby then jumps up into the air happily soon afterward.
"YAY! Team RWBY and ATAC is back together!" She said
After she landed Aaron gave a hug, he looked at her with a soft expression and a small smile.
"Sorry for leaving for a bit, I couldn't let her be alone." He said
"It was Blake, I can understand why... and thanks." Ruby said
Aaron nodded, he then heard someone running behind him and looked blankly ahead.
"Wait, it that Haruko running towards me?" He sked
"YES, IT IS!" Haruko yelled angrily
"OH SHIT!" Aaron yelled in fear
He started to run with Haruko about to drop-kick him as the image turned still along with turning grainy.
{TO BE CONTINUED}
[Play Ending One]
Next time on The RPG Hunter
"Looks like I have a side quest, cool." Aaron said to himself looking at the menu
He then saw a small ancient looking totem on a stand. He blinked for a few moments and gave a small 'huh' as he stood there.
"I have to touch this?" He asked himself
Aaron then touched it and started to feel an energy coursing through his veins, it didn't feel bad but it felt... powerful to say the very least.
...Well, this chapter is a hell of a lot better now. God that one guy managing to take down Aaron was cringy... really, really cringy.
But yeah, there are a few things I should address at least
The guy who asked that question was a reference to Futurama... because I really like that show still
You should assume that Team ATAC was doing their own thing which didn't really matter.
Aaron can light his fist on fire along with his sword... that's cool as shit and no one can say otherwise
Aaron can change the effects, how you ask? Because Magic is bullshit.
I made Weiss a bit more sympathetic, especially in this version because that scene was not that great... it kinda aged like milk honestly.
I'll see you guys in the Fandom.
