A/N: Azeroth: Yeah, Nyarlathotep is apparently going to do as much for this as he can.
Expect about 2,500 words every chapter.
And again, I don't write these stories. Nyarlathotep does.
I am merely a messenger.
...
Malandish awoke with a start.
Ruby leaned over. "You okay?" She asked.
Annoying pest!
"Fine. Just... A nightmare."
"Oh."
The two sat in silence.
Everyone else was asleep. Except Ozpin, Goodwitch, Malandish, Ruby, and of course Anarariellea.
"Are we close to Beacon?" Malandish asked Ruby.
"Any second now." The ship halted, coming to rest. "Speak of the devil." Said Ruby.
And she shall appear.
"And he shall appear." Malandish murmured. Ruby turned to Malandish, vaguely surprised.
Everyone else woke.
After leaving the ship, Ozpin turned to Malandish. "Would all of you please follow me?"
...
Ozpin escorted the group to the entrance hall. He turned to Malandish. "Please wait until you are called."
Malandish nodded. "Certainly."
Anarariellea did not visibly respond.
After a curious look at Anarariellea, Ozpin headed up to the front of the stage.
After the other children made their temporary farewells, and left, Malandish leaned toward her sister. "You should say something. It makes you seem like a corpse!"
Anarariellea looked at her sister.
Malandish shrunk back, realizing what she had said. "Sorry."
Anarariellea looked back towards the stage, and said, in Darnassian, "Would you stop apologizing? It wasn't your fault."
...
After assigning teams CRDL, RWBY, and JNPR, Ozpin called the two Kal'dorei up to the stage.
Ruby leaned over to her sister. "Think Ozpin will make them students?"
Yang raised an eyebrow? "Don't see a reason why not. They're skilled. They're talented. And their Semblances are awesome."
"Agree with you there." Murmured Ruby.
Ozpin called the students to attention. "Allow me to introduce Malandish and Anarariellea Starbreaker. During initiation this year, these two accidentally found themselves in the Emerald Forest. They accompanied the now formed teams RWBY and JNPR to the ruins where the relics had been placed. There, they were beset by an army of Grimm."
On the viewscreen above Ozpin, a video of the two fighting the Grimm began playing. The students began to murmur.
"As it was, the two failed to bring back a relic. And normally, that would mean they failed initiation." continued Ozpin. He turned to the two of them. "Which means that normally, I'd be asking you two to leave."
The murmuring grew louder.
"However, I think that, in lieu of that, we can potentially create an initiation specifically for you two. This is, of course, assuming you wish to join Beacon?"
It took a moment, but Malandish stepped forward. "The two of us would be honored to join. Presuming, of course, that we complete our... initiatons."
Ozpin nodded. "Of course. May I make a proposition?"
Malandish nodded. "Certainly. You are headmaster, after all."
Yang grinned. "Whoever this chick is, she's got skill to keep up with Ozpin."
"My idea," Began Ozpin, "Is that we have one of you fight a second-year team, here at Beacon. The other one will fight Professors Goodwitch, Port, and Oobleck."
"I approve." Said Malandish instantly.
Ozpin raised an eyebrow. "You do not want to consider it? Or even ask your sister?"
Malandish grinned. "To be honest, if you hadn't suggested that, I would have. And as for my sister, I have full confidence in her abilities. And it makes full sense to me."
"How so?" asked Ozpin.
Malandish's grin grew wider. "Simple. You can test your second-year students against an outsider with no idea of their abilities, and, similarly, you can make certain your faculty is up to snuff."
A few laughs came from the crowd of students.
Ozpin looked hard at Malandish. "Very well. Which of the two of you will fight the faculty?"
"My sister will. And if you wouldn't mind, I think she should go first." Said Malandish.
"Very well. If you would follow me, I will show you to the training arena."
...
Impressive. Thought Malandish.
The training grounds was a large circle, surrounded by space for safety reasons, presumably, then a large auditorium style seating arrangement.
Ozpin took a seat in the seating, Malandish sitting next to him.
Glynda, Port, and Oobleck took their positions on one side of the arena, Anarariellea stood alone on the other side. They looked to Ozpin.
"Begin." he said calmly.
Anarariellea charged, pulling her dual blades from her sides.
Port and Oobleck began blasting her with fire.
Anarariellea swiftly dodged their attacks, her swords beginning to glow blue.
A mini-blizzard began, freezing the three teachers in place.
While Oobleck and Port tried to blast their feet free, Goodwitch summoned several magic circles, each blasting beams of fire.
Anarariellea met them head on, slicing them in two.
Goodwitch's eyes narrowed. She pulled the blasted ground beneath Anarariellea into a large spear, and sent it hurtling at the Kal'dorei.
Anarariellea breathed frost, freezing the spear instantly. She shattered the spear with an idle backhand, finally reaching Goodwitch.
Goodwitch pulled ice from the air into a shield. Anarariellea sheathed a sword, and held out a hand.
The ice shield turned into a prison, effectively defeating Goodwitch.
Port and Oobleck pulled themselves free.
As Oobleck attempted to deal with Goodwitch's shield, Port charged Anarariellea.
His blunderbuss-axe met the dual swords head on, the two seemingly equally matched.
Until another pair of swords pulled themselves from nowhere, and threw the old man back.
Anarariellea's twin blades, and the extra pair from nowhere, began assaulting Port.
"Your sister has a rather impressive skill set." Remarked Ozpin.
Malandish did not respond.
Anarariellea had defeated Port, and was in the middle of beating Oobleck.
One more swing of the four blades knocked him out.
Anarariellea sheathed her blades as the students roared.
...
Anarariellea left through the locker rooms, and headed for the farthest back she could find.
She hated being the center of attention.
She passed Malandish. The two didn't say anything.
But one does not always require words to communicate.
Finding a seat in the back was rather easy, seeing as everyone had taken seats as close to the front as possible.
But, of course, Ruby, Yang, Ren, and Nora, decided to sit near her.
She did not return their greetings, despite Nora's persistence.
Instead she watched as Malandish met her opponents; Team CFVY.
...
Malandish held the Twinblades of the Deceiver in a pose as though she was wearing boxing gloves.
"That doesn't look like the right way to hold those." Remarked Coco Adel, leader of CFVY.
"And that matters, why?" asked Malandish. "Unless that purse of yours is magic, I see no weapons bar the ones the guys on your team have."
The crowd ooed.
Coco grinned. "Our's are a little... subtle for outsiders."
The crowed ooed louder.
"Says the girl whose so obsessed with fashion that she forgot to bring a weapon."
The crowd gasped. Then the students began to bet among themselves.
Coco's expression darkened. "Enough talk. If you two wouldn't mind?"
Yatsuhashi Daichi, and Fox Alistair charged.
Malandish easily blocked the two attacks.
Fox and Yatsuhashi pushed, trying to gain any ground against the Faunus.
...
"You and your sister are rather impressive." Remarked Yang.
"Yeah, your Semblances are awesome!" Said Nora.
Anarariellea turned to Nora. "Semblances?"
...
"Huh." murmured Malandish. She pushed them back to their teammates. "It seems I've underestimated your skill."
"Really?" asked Coco, as the two charged again. "How so?"
Malandish easily dodged the strikes the two close-combat specialists made against her. "The fact that your teammate, (Fox was it?) is blind."
The two pulled back to Coco, and looked to her.
...
"The moves you were using against the faculty." Supplied Ren. "The snowstorm and the multi-blades?"
Anarariellea looked at him. "That was not what I was doing. I was using my magic."
...
"Do you have something against blind people?" Coco snarled.
Malandish carefully placed the Twinblades on her back. Her right hand grasped the front of her mask, the left grabbed the strap holding it on.
Malandish pulled off her mask, revealing two black pits where eyes should have been.
Gasps filled the stadium.
Three members of CFVY looked at Malandish in shock.
...
Ruby began stuttering. "T-t-the p-p-physical m-m-manifestations of ones s-s-soul. Everyone has it. Don't you remember having yours unlocked?"
Anarariellea shook her head. "No."
...
"W-what..." stuttered Coco.
Malandish grinned, showing her shark-like teeth. "You mean my eyes? Or rather, complete lack of them?"
Coco nodded, too stunned to speak.
"Simple." Malandish threw her mask aside. "They were pulled out by a girl, so filled with fear at what she saw, that she'd sacrifice anything to make certain no one else had to."
Team CFVY recovered, and held their weapons at the ready.
"And what happened to that girl?" asked Coco hesitantly.
Malandish spread her arms wide. "She became a terrifying demon, determined to kill the ones who had driven her to perform that act."
Coco's eyes narrowed. "And let me guess. You seek vengeance against her? You want her dead?"
Malandish's grin faded. "Yes and no. Yes, because I want all demons dead. And for no..."
...
"Then, what have you guys been fighting with?" asked Ren.
"Our own physical and magical skill." Said Anarariellea, folding her arms.
...
Malandish had no eyes, but Coco felt like she was being stared through.
"No, I'm not ready to die yet."
In the split second that followed, Coco realized that Malandish, whoever she was, was far more a Huntress than Coco could ever be.
And that she was toying with them.
Coco switched her purse to mini-gun form, and began shooting at her.
...
Well, well, well.
It was a gun.
That... was unexpected.
The firepower of the gun was extreme.
It was all Malandish could do to deflect them with her gloves.
Malandish could see Coco's determination, Velvet's fear, Yatsuhashi's surprise, and Fox's resolve.
They will fall before you.
Malandish misjudged a bullet's trajectory, and it ripped her arm off.
Coco stopped firing, the shock of what she had done on her face.
Gasps filled the stadium as Malandish's purple blood spurted from her shoulder.
Malandish was surprised.
A near fatal mistake. Were we not what we are.
Instead of crying out, Malandish began to laugh.
...
Anarariellea ran from her seat, ignoring the shocked cries of Ruby, Yang, Nora, and Ren's expression.
She hoped that she would make it in time.
Or, better yet, that she wouldn't have to interfere at all.
...
"What is the matter with you?" Coco demanded. "Your arm just got ripped off!"
Malandish's grin showed every single one of her teeth. "So?"
Emerald flames appeared around Malandish's surviving arm, and morphed into a Aldrachi Warblade.
Yatsuhashi and Fox took several steps forward, so they were in front of Coco and Velvet.
Malandish charged, and smashed the Warblade into Yatsuhashi's skull, effectively depleting his Aura, and knocking him out.
In the place where he had been, a small purple orb now floated.
Malandish turned, and did the same thing to Fox.
Malandish then roared.
...
The twin purple orbs flowed into Malandish.
They moved throughout her body, empowering it, and seeking injuries to heal.
...
With a blast of emerald flame, Malandish's arm regenerated.
As the other Aldrachi Warblade appeared in her hand, she yelled at Coco.
"THIS IS A FIGHT!"
She charged Coco, and brought the Warblades down on her weapon, which had changed into a purse again.
The two strained, before Malandish kicked Coco in the stomach, then brought the Warblades into a sweeping spin, knocking her back.
Malandish turned to find Velvet charging her, copies of Malandish's Twinblades in her hand.
Malandish went to lazily block Velvet's move.
Malandish realized something, then pulled the Warblades into a defensive position.
Velvet's attack shattered the floor beneath Malandish.
The two traded blow for blow, evenly matched.
Until, finally, the fake Twinblades vanished, and Velvet found her Aura depleted as well.
Malandish turned. Only Coco left.
She had returned her weapon to gun form.
She was nervous.
Kill her.
Malandish could see her fear.
Destroy her.
Coco fired again, the bullets ripping toward Malandish.
Malandish either deflected them, or sliced them in two.
The situation continued for a minute, then, finally, Coco ran out of ammo.
Malandish held her weapons at the ready.
SLAY HER! MAIM HER! BURN HER!
"Concede." Said Malandish.
Coco nodded, then fainted.
Malandish turned to the shocked audience, and bowed. "That, ladies and gentlemen, is why you never underestimate your opponent."
...
Anarariellea breathed a sigh of relief.
Her eyes found what had been her sister's arm.
Now, it was a pile of bones.
The blood had vanished as well.
Anarariellea began to wonder what Ozpin would do them, now that he knew that the two of them were more dangerous than either his faculty or students.
...
Ozpin stared.
His mind raced at the tableau.
Both faculty, trained Huntsman, and a second year class, had been beaten by these two.
Ozpin's mind turned to the potential outcomes.
One; he insults them, and they kill him.
Two; they are evil, and are infiltrating his school in order to find the Fall Maiden.
Three... They joined him, and helped defeat Salem once and for all.
There were others, of course, but those could wait.
...
A/N:Azeroth: BWA HA HA! DIDN'T SEE THAT ONE COMING, DID YOU?
But, in all honesty, most max-level Azerothian adventurers would outclass Remnantians.
These two are, however, some of the strongest.
