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.

Harry was the last one on the Bulkhead when he heard a whining sound. Yatsuhashi, had grabbed Harry by the shoulder and very easily pulled him into the bulkhead. "What's that whining? It's killing my ears." Growled Adam.

Harry looked at his blade and his eyes widened "My blade…Something's broken on it." As he listened, he winced. It sounded like one of the lever mech-shifts that incorporated onto the main weapon mecha-shift was gone and it also meant the magazine for at least two of the weapons were compromised. How compromised he didn't know, but all he knew was that his weapon was absolutely fucked.

"How many weapon forms did you put into that thing Harry?" Asked Ruby curiously, as she wandered over to check that he hadn't been injured that badly.

"Scythe, double ended scythe, sword, two swords, sword staff, blade staff, sniper rifle, rifle, shotgun so about nine definite maybe a few more." Harry wasn't prepared for the crippling blow to the shin that Ruby had delivered.

"You're an idiot. An absolute idiot. Too much stress on the shifts and support systems. How often has this thing broken or exploded?" Harry sighed "Remember when I had my arm splinted and my left hand looked like I had shoved it in a brazier? Then. Whole thing went ka-boom. Pretty big bang…What did you think happened to the shed?"

Yang stared at her cousin "You blew up the bloody shed! Why are you not dead? I was picking out bits of metal from the walls for three weeks." Harry grinned "I'm just good at surviving. Broken legs, back, ribs, skull, hands at least once."

Velvet stared at her crush "How did you break your legs?"

"Playing a sport a zero-g…'Bout fifty metres up. Power went. My team won, broke my legs as I landed…I broke my ribs during the same sport not eight week later. That was in my first year of the school."

"And you carried on playing?"

"It helped get my mind off the homicidal maniacs who were out to kill me, along with the corrupt ministry. Then there was the international tournament involving a dragon, lake and a killer maze."

"How are you still alive?" Demanded Weiss.

Harry cocked his head at her "Can't die. Less can't die more like only one guy can kill me. So that's why I am still alive."

"Then how are you still sane?" Rumbled Fox.

"What proof that I am sane? Or that I'm insane. The definition of insanity is to behave oddly or violently" Replied Harry. The whining sound stopped and it was shortly followed by a devastating crunch.

Harry sighed as his blade exploded into fragments, they began to glow red "Get back." The fragments then combusted into a fireball which threatened to engulf the entire bulkhead until it stopped spreading and slowly condensed and vanished.

Harry was standing up. Smoke coiling off his body and especially around his fingertips and ears. His eyes were glittering a fiery red. Velvet stared "How did you do that? That was absolutely amazing and I thought Yatsuhashi was pretty damn cool."

Harry grinned "My semblance is unique. I can absorb dust both aligned and unaligned, and switch to which ever one I need on a whim and my body adjusts to it. I can seemingly pull the elements out of the air and use them as weapons of my own. This then means I can use it to recharge my aura. My final techniques if I sacrifice my natural aura defence I can alter reality to how I see fit. Mugger, turn floor into pothole and fill in cement. House fire, put it out. Physical abuse, well I can do a lot."

"I want proof and I want the truth." Snapped Weiss. Harry cackled "You can't handle the truth. If I told you the truth, which I have this leaves you with a hell of a lot of power over me. You can keep it to yourself which I would prefer or you go to the councils and they come and try and to take me away." Harry smiled and licked his teeth unsettling everyone on the Bulkhead. It was one of utter satisfaction.

"You can't stop an entire council."

"I don't have to. Just have to break, maim and kill enough of them and hopefully they'll get the hint."

Velvet stared at him slightly concerned "They can be stubborn and persistent."

"Velvet, they've not met me. We still on for Saturday?" Velvet blushed as she worked out Harry was able to juggle multiple conversations at once. Harry sighed, and rested against the bulkhead and looked at the surviving fragment of his sword which was main mecha-shift drive and custom grip.

"At least I don't have to remake the grip. That's a hassle." Ruby smirked at that at least with a handle she had some idea on how to help her brother remake his weaponry.

"I know what you're thinking…Yes, you can help. Plans were going to be your Birthday present and then all those bands you like released new albums etc. These were now going to be Christmas present."

Harry suddenly found himself seeing dark spots appear in his vision "Ruby…Breathing…Survival."

Ruby let go but still held on quite tightly. Harry groaned stood up as they were nearing Beacon "What happens next?"

"You go to the medical wing and then you're put into teams." Harry paled "Can I skip the medical?"

Yatsuhashi shook his head "I'm afraid not."

Harry grinned "Well I'm not go…" He knew no more. Yatsuhashi had suddenly blind-sided Harry and caught him in the temple crumpling the boy to the ground.

"I read his profile…We can blame the Grimm."

Adam stared at the giant second year "Let's make this realistic." With that Adam also joined Harry in blissful unconsciousness.

The two came around in the medical wing "Apart from these two having headaches and concussions you are all free to go."

Soon enough everyone appeared in the auditorium.

"Cardin Winchester, Russel Thrush, Dove Bronzewing and Sky Lark from this day onward you'll be collectively known as Cardinal, CRDL. Under the leadership of Cardin Winchester." Announced Ozpin to lots of celebratory gestures of the team.

"Jaune Arc, Nora Valkyrie, Pyrrha Nikos and Lie Ren from this day onward you'll be collectively known as Juniper, JNPR. Under the leadership of Jaune Arc." Jaune Arc stared in shock and Harry along with the more supportive nod. Jaune was already feeling out of his depth.

"Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Yang Xiao-Long and Blake Belladonna from this day onward you'll be collectively known as Ruby, RWBY. Under the leadership of Ruby Rose." Ruby was in shock, Harry hugged her as Yang rubbed her knuckles into her head.

"Finally. Harry Potter, Adam Taurus, Nanuuk Russ and Damania Aphrodisiaca from this day onward you'll be collectively known as Hand, HAND under the leadership of Harry Potter."

Harry grinned as he shook hands with his team mates and hugged Damania, as they followed Glynda to their dorm rooms where they found their luggage had already been placed "Professor."

"Yes Mr. Potter?"

"Do you know where the smithing rooms are? On my way here on the bulkhead, my weapon kind of blew up. I also need…"

"Parts and access to the smithy. I'll have the information sent to you on your scroll. As for parts, this is a combat school so we keep a decent range of parts for all weapon upgrades/repairs but if you require anything specific and it's not illegal we can order it in although we will have to organise how you will pay us back."

Harry nodded and he entered the room "Bunkbeds are or four singles?" Asked Damania. Harry shrugged "Bunks, more room that ways." With that Harry, Adam and Nanuuk assembled the beds, due to them being stronger they were able to push the beds together and keep them in place whilst Damania darted around them and screwed the beds together to keep them together.

Soon enough the beds were assembled and Harry chucked his bag onto the top bunk and emptied it. Out of his rucksack he pulled out what looked like a poster tube and accompanied it were boxes of shells and rounds.

"How much ammunition have you got?" Asked Adam curiously.

"Far too damn much. Dust rounds, dummy rounds, full metal jackets, hunting rounds and amongst others. Quite a lot of it if not illegal definitely frowned on to have." Harry replied not looking up.

"What are you going to do if people ask why you have that ammunition?"

"Protection of self and others against harm. If it's illegal why make it. So you know, we are all on the same team. If someone gives you grief, let me know and we will all give them grief. We aren't individuals we are now a team and we look out for one another. I want us all to be able to be comfortable with each other but able to keep some information from each other."

(RWBY Room)

They had assembled bunkbeds but they looked really unstable. But they would hold their weight. Ruby grinned at the job being done vanished into the corridor and began trying to track down her brother. It was easily said and done.

Due to her semblance of speed, she could become distracted by auditory learning skills and as such her written grades were high end average. She found her brother or more like she ploughed into Adam who had just walked out of their room. His visor powering down, he adjusted his energy absorbance into kinetic and impact energy. "Ruby…right? I'll get your brother."

Ruby smiled meekly as Adam yelled into his room and Harry appeared, wrapping a new bandage around his hand, hilt on his shoulder and poster tube in hand. "Adam want to see something awesome."

Adam grinned "What?" Ruby clicked her fingers, and shook herself over in a way that Adam could tell was childish accidental sexual advances. He shook himself, he had seen what he predicted a small fraction of his Leader's skill with his semblance. Adam shivered at facing Harry with him going full tilt with his semblance.

Ruby began to vibrate leaving floating rose petals around her feet. Then one moment Ruby didn't have the poster tube in her hands and the next she did. "How did you…" Adam didn't blink. It was like the girl had teleported.

Ruby grinned, pulled her scroll out and took five pictures of Harry's utter confusion "Looking for this brother?" Harry snapped around to see Ruby holding his plans for White Absolution.

"How did you do that Ruby?"

"You know when you were showing me how to run up trees…Well I investigated more into how I could use my speed in less noble causes. I found that over short distances providing I got a warm up I could effectively 'teleport'. The teleportation is me moving at extremely high speeds."

Harry shook his head "Come on Ruby." With that Ruby and Team Hand headed towards the store rooms to see what Harry needed to be ordered along with what was already present.

The results weren't good. The only saving grace was the fact that the metal was aura conductive and mined straight from the quarries in Vale. Absolution had been made with that particular metal and Harry knew that Vale metal was good enough for him.

Ruby pinned the blueprints up in the window and began scribbling things down on a sheet of paper "You made some good plans brother dearest." She said eyes glistening with laughter at his grin.

"However, you should have made two mecha-shift type weapons. A sword/scythe/firearm and another one or perhaps two." Harry nodded.

Adam snorted "I'll lend you Wilt and Blush, I'd recommend something like them for a second set of weapons." Harry nodded "Thanks."

Ruby grinned impishly "I have it. Sword/Scythe/Manreaper/Shotgun sword. Rifle/Sword like Adam's and vambrace rifle/blades with blades forming protective padding around forearms and 360 positioning for claws and blades." Harry stared at his weapon smith of a sister "How many of those can we make here and now?"

"None of them. We can pick up the majority of the bits whilst in Vale but the support shaft and shifts we're gonna need to get them pre-ordered."

Harry nodded "Come on. Let's get out of here and we can go to dinner."

Dinner was a tame affair. CRDL sat the furthest away leaving teams HAND, RWBY and JNPR sitting together and getting to know each other. Meanwhile the older students were scattered around ready to answer the questions of the younger ones.

Everyone retired early that evening. Harry quickly checked that the alarm clock was set for what he thought was a reasonable hour of 7:30. With that Harry fell asleep.

(6:45)

Harry sat bolt upright in bed. He had, had no dreams. No visions or anything from Voldemort and to be honest it was refreshing. He jumped out of bed, landing cat like and headed into the shower.

Adam grunted and opened his eye. He saw his partner jump out of his bunk. Clad in nothing but pyjama pants, Adam saw the scar ridden back of his team leader. Adam was known to confront issues, so he'd get up and dressed and he and Harry would have a chat about it.

Harry was dressed in the uniform and had his tie made and draped around his bed "What happened…To your back?" Harry spun around his eyes flickering to electric yellow and electricity appeared in his hands. "Adam…What are you doing up?"

"Heard you wake up. Now what's up with your back?"

Harry snorted "Was an orphan. Mum was actually my aunt and dad was my uncle. I was given to them and masqueraded as their son until they were murdered. I was then given to my aunt's sister and her family. To say they didn't like me is a polite hyperbole for how they really felt about me. Their son could do no wrong despite being the town tyrant and me…Everything was my fault and occasionally if it was a bad day at work. It was the belt and occasionally the frying pan…hot by the way."

Adam winced "Sorry for asking…" Harry smirked "You've got some similar?"

"Working in the Schnee Mines. Faunus are treated as second class workers. We live, eat, sleep and shit in the mines. It's why I left and joined the White Fang. I participated in the rallies and got into a few fights with the authorities but left when we were told to blow up a train."

Harry stared at him "I wouldn't have been surprised if you had blown the train. From what I've seen Humanity are dicks. Only a matter of time before someone stands up to us and then when it happens it just gets messy. Besides the instigators don't die. They get rich. People like us, we're the one who die."

Harry's words were said louder than he had intended and had subsequently woken his team. They got dressed and soon enough the kettle was on and the four were sitting at the kitchen table as Ozpin walked by.

(Outside)

'We're the ones who die'. Ozpin was surprised to hear students were up and in particular team HAND. Using his override code, he entered the room. The four looked up "Hi Professor. Cup of tea?"

And that was how HAND spent their morning. Chatting with the Headmaster about their personal opinions on the world over a cup of tea. Ozpin was many things and he liked to say that he liked to know his students. He was above giving them detention just to chat to them but once they started doing missions, he would ask them questions that would slowly give him an insight to the people he was guiding.

Ozpin stood up "Harry, I received your request for those materials. Just so you know it's going to be hard to get them due to Vale laws."

Harry swore "Stupid bloody short sighted plutocratic assholes."

"Plutocratic?"

"Democracy run by the rich…Rich get richer, poor get poorer and Faunus get shat on again…Oh well…I'll think of something."

Ozpin felt chills run down his spine "What do you mean by that Mr. Potter-Branwen."

Harry smile a wolfish smile "Never you mind Headmaster. Plausible deniability and all of that."

Ozpin left promptly deciding it was best if he didn't know what they were planning. "Basically they're giving military all the crap Huntsmen and Huntswomen should be getting but since we are so young we are not allowed to have them for 'own safety'. If need be, couple distractions, destroy couple buildings. Military get involved we waltz out again…Anyway I want breakfast."

(Dining Hall, Breakfast)

Team HAND and RWBY entered the dining room and the AND, and the RWB of the two teams good nature vanished. CRDL and SNTL, another first year team were busy terrorising the little Owl Faunus and Velvet from earlier on.

"Adam, Nanuuk, Damania…If you want to head to class you can. But I'm getting stuck in. Seems eight onto is unfair. Eight on four however…" Harry got up only to be followed by Adam, Nanuuk with Damania following tentatively.

Harry, Nanuuk and Adam: 6'2, 6'3 and 6'4. All still growing. Three big young adults with a lot of power in their bodies. It's still a bit intimidating. "Excuse me boys…" Began Harry.

"Who you calling a boy, punk…" Growled Cardin stopping what he was doing "…You're the faunus lover. What you doing being on a team with them animals. They enjoy this." Harry groaned.

"Okay you bastard child of incest. Yes I'm a faunus lover. I prefer faunus to humans." Snarled Harry, is good natured vanishing. Cardin, Dove, Sky and Russel all stood up. They were joined by Steele, Nean, Lion and Forrest joined them.

Harry's eyes turned yellow and he rushed forwards. He disappeared in a sonic boom and when he reappeared his fist was embedded in Cardin's stomach folding the boy over like he was cardboard. Sky paled and tried to back away but Harry, grabbed the boys wrist. Harry's skin turned brown taking on the texture of earth and with ease pulled Lark into him. Harry hoisted the boy up onto his back and casually like one throws a toy around chucked him backwards.

Nanuuk was less dramatic. He grabbed the two closest to him; Dove and Russel and promptly slammed their heads together sending them to the floor.

Adam began glowing and with great strength planted his hands on Steele and Forrest before shoving them physically backwards, tumbling head over arse.

Damania smiled toothily revealing her lioness faunus heritage "I'm the sweet one…Run." That the other two did. HAN looked at her "What? It worked. Now best we had leave for lessons."
