Author's Note: With Ryuuto in a coma, there isn't much for me to do, but to skip to the next planned part of his story. Volume 3, Chapters 9, 10 and 11: PvP , The Battle of Beacon, and Heroes and Monsters.
Hyperion - 04
-RWBY VERSE, THE KINGDOM OF VALE, BEACON ACADEMY-
Ozpin frowned as the Vytal Festival Tournament was interrupted by a broadcast. He glared at the Queen chess piece on the hologram in front of him. He then looked at the monitor for Ryuuto's vitals. Its been a long time since Ryuuto's memories and power had been awakened, and he was having trouble keeping the boy's friends in the dark.
"Come on, Ryuuto. If you want to wake up, this would be a good time to do so…" Ozpin muttered to himself. When the hacked broadcast ended, alarms started to go off.
"Alert. Incoming Grimm attack. Threat level: Nine. Please seek shelter in a calm and orderly manner."
Ozpin gripped his cane tightly, watching the city of Vale be overrun with Grimm. Qrow Branwen and Glynda walked in quickly. "Oz-"
"Get to the city! Try to get Ryuuto awake! Something!" Ozpin commanded.
"But-"
"NOW!" Ozpin said, leaving zero space for argument. Glynda and Qrow shared a look before rushing off to complete their tasks.
"I'll wake up the kid." Qrow said, running to the infirmary. "I'll meet up with you in the City later!" Glynda nodded and went off on her way.
-In The Infirmary-
Ryuuto was held in stasis, with technology supplied by Atlas. Unlike Amber, however, this was just meant to keep him stable until they were entirely sure he was ready to be awakened. Qrow rushed to the chamber and opened it, catching the falling body of Ryuuto.
The formerly comatose boy took a while to regain his bearings, before he opened his eyes. He then pushed himself off of Qrow, his eyes now a burning gold color. "I sense something off. Grimm attack?"
"Massive." Qrow supplied. Ryuuto nodded, understanding the situation's basics.
"I see. May I borrow your Scroll?" Qrow handed his Scroll to the boy, who quickly did a few things, and then called for his Weapons Locker. He went in and pulled out his own Scroll and Armageddon, a faint smile on his face. He then returned the Scroll to Qrow. "Alright. Let's go kill some Grimm."
-The Battle of Beacon-
The first thing Ryuuto saw when he got to the battlefield, was the absolute chaos going on. Civillians running, Atlesian Knights scattered around, Grimm coming in, hordes of them.
He drew his axe, shifting it to it's bow mode and loading it up with Lightning Dust. He fired, catching the Grimm's attention as he killed a few with his deadly accuracy. He then put his normal weapon away, focusing on his Magic and forming a red sword made of pure energy. "Come at me, monsters!" He yelled out, as the Grimm charged at him all at once.
He swung his blade, red energy arcing from it and cutting through the Grimm like fodder. As Ryuuto cut through Grimm after Grimm, two people, a man and a woman; watched from above.
The man had flame-like hair and black eyes, accompanied by a orange-red jacket, black jeans, and dress shoes. He looked at Ryuuto with a strange concoction of mild disgust, fascination, and pride.
The woman had black hair with purple highlights, violet eyes, a figure most would kill for. She wore a combination of a dress and armour. She glared at Ryuuto with pure hate. "This is your brother, Blaze? His power is… okay for his state, but still. I expected more from your supposed equal."
Blaze only smiled. "Ah, Lilith. My sweet dark angel, you don't understand. The issue is that I was born powerful, while Ryuuto gets stronger with training and fights. He's been comatose for a good while, the fact he's fighting like this right out of the gate… I'm proud of him."
"Of course you would, you softie." Lilith sighed, before a faint smile appeared on her face. "So, you plan on trying to convince him to join our new friend?"
"Salem would like more allies." Blaze nodded, but then shook his head negative. "But Ryuuto would never join someone he considers dark at the moment."
"What shall we do then?" Lilith asked, curious of what her lover was planning as she placed a hand on her hip. Blaze only smirked.
"We fight." Blaze jumped down.
Ryuuto finished up killing the last Goliath in front of him, about to let his sword dissipate, but then growled and turned to block an attack from Blaze's glaive. "Brother…" Ryuuto narrowed his eyes. "You and me got seperated all those years ago and now when you finally meet up again, you attack. How rude."
"Well, you certainly matured. I guess that Awakening and coma really did you some good, hm?" Blaze tried to taunt, but Ryuuto only showed mild annoyance, his brows furrowing. He pushed back with his sword, knocking Blaze back. Ryuuto raised his sword to the sky, with it shifting into an orange axe quickly. "Ooh, you know how to use your Magic properly! Who taught you? Ryuu? Mikhail? Whirl?"
"Alpha." Ryuuto said crossly, causing Blaze to take a step back briefly. He then regained his bearings and took a deep breath.
"I see. Getting trained by the Almighty in Magic, huh? You lucky dog. But don't think that'll help you." Blaze motioned for Lilith to come forward. "But that won't help you. You're outnumbered, two to o-"
Blaze was cut off by large shards of rock charging right for him and Lilith, forcing them to dodge. Ryuuto looked back to see the rest of Team HPRN, who were all armed and ready for battle. Nero took his place next to Ryuuto, with Pearl on his left. Hades stood next to Nero. "Ryuuto. As your Team Leader, I command you to get out of here and do something useful." Hades said as his pet Cerberus, a controlled Beowulf, walked up to them.
"But-"
"GO!" HP&N yelled simultaneously, with Ryuuto's eyes widening before he nodded firmly, determination in his eyes as he rushed off. He sensed something was off at the School, and ended up finding his way to Beacon's Vault using the elevator. Thank his past Father Light and Uncle Darkness that Qrow didn't notice him copying the key to the Vault into his own Scroll.
He quickly found Ozpin there, along with… Pyrrha and the Jaune kid? "OZPIN!" He called out, causing the gray haired headmaster to look at him.
"Ryuuto?! Thank goodness you're awake!" The headmaster smiled, before getting serious. "We need your help! Keep an eye out for someone with Maiden powers!"
"Right!" Ryuuto sensed exactly that coming towards him, and charged at the feeling, encountering a black haired young lady in a red and gold dress. He swung his magic-powered axe at her, and found her counter with an obsidian blade.
They stood there in lock for a few seconds, with the woman looking visibly frustrated. "Who are you?"
"Me? I'm simply a Hunstman-in-Training and former Assassin!" Ryuuto smiled a little too cheerfully. "Who're you?"
"Cinder Fall." She gritted out. "The Fall Maiden and your superior." Ryuuto's eyes widened as she shot a fireball from her free hand, knocking him back. The reincarnated God gritted his teeth, supressing the pain he felt, but then heard an arrow shot. He turned to see that Amber now had an arrow sprouting from her chest. Ryuuto got up unsteadily, going to summon a weapon, but Ozpin stopped him.
"RYUUTO! THIS IS NOT YOUR FIGHT TO FINISH! WE NEED YOU ALIVE!" Ozpin yelled.
"But I-"
"Take Miss Nikos and Mister Arc and go! Now!" Ryuuto hesitantly nodded, before waving his hand and causing a shield to form beneath his friends' feet. He snapped his fingers, causing the shield (and by proxy them) to disappear.
