RWBY: The Unknown Sibling
(Harry is two years older than Ruby and three months older than Yang)
To the Anon who mentioned my timelines in ages. He is correct, Harry is the same age as Yang.
As Harry levitated himself and his partner to the floor using air dust. It is important to understand what Dust is and what it does. When the earth was first formed into the landmass of Pangea there was a Landmass worth of nine continents.
In short one became known as Atlantis and home to the very first of the magic users of Britain. The last continent of Remant, however a great travesty occurred which spawned the Creatures of Grimm. The Magic Users had rallied and separated Remanant from the rest of the world to save them from the Grimm.
The energy known as Dust was the remains of the magic that powered the barrier sealing Remnant from the rest of the world. As a result Dust was ennabled to be used to power the continent's cars and nessessities all the way to firearms. However that was just the solid and liquid forms of Dust, it also became known as Natures Wrath mad Manifest. But dust still existed as particles in the air which people inhaled and exhaled as they breathed. This dust was unadulterated, unmutated, hadn't formed into a crystal of Burn, Freeze, Growth, Wind, Lightning or whatever element you can think of.
Harry's semblance allowed him to in essence absorb and circulate the unaligned dust into his body. Due to his body having a magical core it allowed him far greater control in how the dust was used, controlled and released. In essence if he wanted to make himself faster and stronger, he would convert the ambient dust into a form of bio-electricity and channel into his legs and arms making the density and tightness of muscle and bones to become closer together of further apart. A primitive version of the Pym Particle (I do not own that. Marvel does. That is how Harry's semblance works).
Adam's semblance on the other hand is much simpler. Dust worked alongside the Laws of Physics and thus everything on Remnant was more or less the same as the outside world. Adam could selectively absorb a specific time of energy or radiationt that was not immediately harmful or in the long term develop health complications. He could absorb heat, kinetic or even gravitational energy to name a few and he then channelled them into his patent 'Moonslice' attack. Moonslice was a technique that was unparalleled in cutting ability. It was able to cleave two of the robots on the Schnee Dust Train in half with no problem. However there were two shortcuts into powering up the Moonslice. 1) Somebody or him passed energy or dust into him which Adam directed into his sword or 2) He used the blade to block incoming attacks which in turn powered up his sword.
Both boys had one more thing in common with each other, Adam's clothes seams and decorations began to glow when he gathered energy. The brighter the glow, the stronger the attack. Harry had an aura encompass him. Brighter the glow the more energy Harry had absorbed.
Now this brings us to Harry's weapon; White Absolution. When Harry had been creating his weapon, he had accidentally cut himself several times and must have spilt two to three litres of his blood in to the working of the blade and at one point imbued it the blade with his magic and semblance. The result was the blade was in effect bonded to him and him alone. No-one else would be able to use it as effectively.
"Get down!" Shouted Adam, shoving Harry out the way as he unsheathed his sword and shot the Beowulf in the snout with his rifle sheathe. Harry snapped his sword down, four fingers on the counter weight balance mech-shift to release the blade into a free folding form and then his thumb hit a concealed button in the guard. Which caused the blade to drop open (Brawl in the Family). A deafening boom reverberated around the forest as a Beowulf erupted into a small inferno as Harry's fireball dust rounds erupted from the shotgun.
The sword acted as very large wand. That was the key function to get the weapon to work at full effect. Harry slid his hands onto the hand and a half hilt where concealed along the base of the blade were what orginally looked like spikes. These spikes were leavers, that unlocked portions of the blade effecively locking away some forms of the blade. Thankfully all the weapon transformations were on the the same shift mechanism but due to how many weapons he had, to access them all would cause his weapon to overheat and break. Hence the leaver selection.
The blade whirrled and the mecha-shift howled as the sword split in half, began to curl and the hilt extended and the two halves of the blade formed into scythes. Harry smirked at Adam's bottom half of his face, since the upper half was covered by his mask. "Seeing is believing." Harry said as he split two more Beowulf's in half with almost casual ease. Soon enough the pair were heading to the North of the Forest.
(Nanuuk)
Nanuuk and Damania had paired up. Damania Darkshroud had been in a bit of bother with an Ancient Ursa. Her weapons were a pair of compact machine guns also known as Uzi's, which turned into long knives individually and when combined together formed a O-Katana in otherwords a very large katana.
"I take it we're now partners." Nanuuk asked gruffly unsheathing his claws and the pair turned on Boarbatusk. With very little effort the two faunus ripped through the small pack.
(Relic site)
It was BY who reached the artefact site first, they were also the only pair to have not been harrassed by Grimm. "These are the relics." Yang noticed that all of them were doubles and that not all of them were present. "What are they?"
Blake grinned to herself; chess pieces. But she wan't going to tell Yang that. Blake and Yang were disrupted from their musings as Harry and Adam crashed into the clearing. Adam looked around as two Ursa crashed into the arena "Hey Yang, Blake...We may have a small problem."
Blake raised an eyebrow at the two males. One of whom popped his neck, and the sword began to whirl and it broke apart into an exceptionally large scythe. It was much larger than Ruby's blade and her Uncle's scythe's combined. Yang didn't know about her Uncle's weapon scythe form as he rarely ever used it. "Hey, cous. Who's your friend."
Harry snorted "Adam...My team mate." Adam discharged his rifle, Harry altered his scythe into a sniper rifle, aimed and fired. Instead of the standard sniper rounds Yang was used to hearing from the pair. These were melodious and thunderous booms. Almost like thunder-claps, Blake's eyes widened. The first round was almost definitely a military grade round and then two bolts of dust shells. One was definitely lightning and another appeared to be extra explosive.
One of the Ursa fell over not leaving a trace behind "Son of a bitch...I wanted the head for a spoil." Harry grumbled collapsing the sniper scythe back into his broadsword. "Adam picked a relic?" Adam grunted and chucked a white relic at "Bishop...Clever Ozpin...Real clever." Harry murmured.
This got Adam, Yang and Blake's collective attention "What is it? What do the relics have to do with anything?" Demanded the blonde. Harry sighed "Did you ever learn anything about strategy? Listening to how words are spoken. Our abilities would be evaluated. We would be given team-mates today, it is in your best interests that you find someone you can work with. We would select a relic and guard it."
"Meaning?" Harry groaned "None of you played chess at all. Aside from the eight pawns in the front rank, there are one king and queen= one pair, two bishops, two knights and two rooks."
The scenary burst open as Pyrrha came charging through the foliage, slung her spear through the hind leg of the Ursa. Harry nodded "Got a partner?" He asked. Pyrrha gapsed and nodded as a massive Death Stalker appeared with Jaune on it's stinger. Harry shook his head "You ran through the forest with a DEATHSTALKER chasing you. Your partner got a ride on it...interesting. Adam would you kindly hold the relic. I'm going to finish that incoming..." Harry stopped as the Ursa collapsed on its side as a spear erupted through its forepaw.
"I chucked my spear through its hind leg. It comes back to me via my semblance in a linear fashion." Adam cringed "That's going to leave a mark and a hole."
Just then another Ursa charged in with someone riding it "Is riding Grimm the national sport now?" Moaned Blake already not looking forward to dealing with the antics of her peers. The next pair to arrive were Weiss and Ruby who dropped in on a Nevermore and on Jaune. Harry and Adam smirked, Harry didn't see Jaune's antics but Ruby had gibbered away madly to him about Jaune's non-existant flirting skills.
By now everyone had assembled and grabbed a relic. Only Adam, Harry, Yang and Blake new what they meant. Yang had grabbed both the white knight pieces one for Ruby and Weiss. "Now we're all here, if we've all got a Relic we can now leave and deal with this small group of Grimm." Squeaked Jaune in fright.
Harry grinned "You expected this to be easy? Merlin, you need to shape up quickly kid. Anyway teams of four, pick your targets..." A deafening screech took the words away from him "...Change of plan. Anyone with long range weapons scatter and provide covering fire. We head to the temple ruins on our North-East...The rest of you are going to unfortunately be bait to lure them into our own trap."
Everyone nodded "Run, hide and trap the Grimm...Wonderful." Griped Jaune. The plan was made and everyone began making their move. Most of the Faunus winced at the pitch and how loud the gears and various other gears and cogs that moaned, groaned and shifted as the sword morphed into a very big sniper rifle. "Yes Ruby...I know. It's probably a disgrace compared to your mechanised thing. At least it works." Harry called as he aimed and fired.
There is one small difference between Ruby and Harry's weapons and that was not just size. Harry's rifle was not only larger in terms of size but also in caliber. It was because of this that when the long ranged capabilities of both Harry and Ruby's rifles turned on the four Nevermore's. Three of Harry's thunderous rounds slammed into one of the flying Grimm. Well that grimm had not a chance and fell to pieces in mid-air. The rounds were accompanied by nine sharp snapping rounds of Ruby's sniper and the falling three anti-material rounds shredded the second Nevermore.
By now WBY were taking up positions and were beginning to bring down havok on the remaining two Nevermore's. Adam, Nanuuk and Damania had formed a close unit as they faced off against the Beowolves and Ursa as Jaune, Pyrrha, Ren and Nora rallied themselves to face down the raging Deathstalker. Adam's semblanced charged up, Nanuuk popped his claws and ice began to form. With a thrust the normal stable terrain became icy. "Adam, now would be a good time to do whatever it is you do."
Adam grunted as he charged forwards, the Ursa stepped on the ice and slipped. Adam smirked, he stopped running on the ice and went into a slide. He unsheathed and resheathed his sword and a crimson shockwave sliced into and through the Ursa splitting it almost in half.
Harry fell back rejoining his partner. Suddenly a Beowulf...An extremely ancient one hit him; claws extended and they raked across Harry's chest. Harry's aura protected him from any damage but not his clothes. Harry growled in fury and his eyes flickered from silver and red rapidly switched alternatedly and then suddenly his eyes turned brown and red.
Harry channeled his dust into the blade and it began to heat up and gained an earthly look. Harry growled and swung the sword with all his strength; the two different dusts melded together to form lava dust. Generally those two dusts should ruin any sort of metal but those weapons didn't have Harry manipulating them. Harry struck the Beowulf and sundered its almost utterly armoured chest, the lava landed on the Beowulf and began to eat its way through the bone armour.
The Beowulf pack screamed but couldn't run as a Bulkhead hovered just above their positions and the sound of gatling gun unloading its payload "Come on newbies, exams over. Get on so we can get out."
Harry's team had just rejoined RWBY and JNPR; who had easily taken out the Deathstalker. "Lads give us cover. More specifically give me cover." Harry ordered. Team RWBY was the first to go. Harry picked up Weiss and chucked her into the Bulkhead; as he did so Blake had used him as a springboard to jump inside. Adam had pushed Yang up and accidently got a good look at the Blonde's firm backside. Harry finished off with picking Ruby up like a kitten and bundled her onto the Bulkhead.
"Harry get on...You can be of more assitance if you're on as well." Instructed Yatsuhashi who along with an orange haired teen that Harry hadn't met grabbed his arms with almost casual ease.
Eventually everyone had been pulled, pushed and lifted on board "So, what's next after this exam?"
