A/N: Hello and welcome back to my story. For those who have followed or favorited my story, I bring you my second chapter, in which our main, overused, team that we all love learn about the 'monster of the forest', this will be fun. Now onto the story.
Team RWBY dorm room, a week after the initiation.
It was Friday night, and after a week of boring class lessons and getting to know each other, Ruby thought it would be a good idea to have a movie night as a way for the team to bond, and since it was a stormy night, Yang decided to watch horror movies. Weiss was opposed to the idea at first, but no one can withstand Ruby's puppy eyes, even the heiress.
"Why did we agree to this?" she asks.
"It's better to do something together other than studying, don't you agree ?"
"Blake, are you ok with this?" she asked again
"Yes, i have no problem with movies"
"Oh Weiss, don't tell me you are scared of some movies. Are the legends of the forest beast keeping you up at night?" Yang teased with hands in the air trying to imitate a ghost.
"Shush! Do you really think that it's real, it's just a story that appeared years ago to keep kids scared, it's just that, a story." Weiss finished blankly, slightly glaring at her.
"What about the witnesses?'' Ruby asked
''Either liars or crazy people, who really knows?''
"Don't be a party pooper, i think it's fitting for the night to try to scare ourselves, I mean tomorrow is Saturday, so we are free to do this, are we not allowed to live a little?" Yang replied.
"*Sigh*. Fine, just chose something that is not just jumpscares and gore, so no Saw."
"Alright, Alright, we'll watch something classic, is that fine with you?''
"Yes, thank you.'' Weiss accepted with a small smile on her face.
Ruby then stood up and said:
''Until you decide on the movie i'll go grab the popcorn, it's allways good to have a snack with these.''
BOOM*, just then lightning struck, illuminating the dark room, followed by thunder. Ruby jolted up and ran to her sister for comfort. She is scared of lightning, a lot.
Weiss sighed, and tried to calm her partner, but then, a loud sound followed the thunder, one that will haunt the for the rest of the night...
"ROOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHH*...
All the girls remained shocked and scared when they heard that sound, starring at the window, but for a moment Ruby was able to gain her composure and ask:
"WHAT WAS THAT?!"
Yang followed, shaking a bit:
"Do you still not believe the stories, Weiss"
Weiss was shocked beyond belief, even paled a bit, and was unable to form any words
''I think we should scrap the movie night and try to go to sleep'' Blake said
''Yes'', all the girls agreed at once, scurying back to bed.
This was a night all of Beacon will remember for a while.
The next morning, everyone was talking about the sound that occurred last night, even team CRDL was looking a bit shaken from it. Team RWBY decided to talk to a professor about it, but before they reached Prof. Port's class, they got a message from The Headmaster on their scrolls, calling them to his office. They immediately went there, hoping he would tell them something about the sound. When the elevator doors opened, they walked to the man that sat at his desk, waiting for them. Lifting his gaze from the table to meet theirs, he started to speak:
''Ah, team RWBY, thank you for coming, how was your first week as a team?'' he asked
''We had some difficulties at first, but now we are ready to face anything!'' Ruby happily explained.
''Even the beast from the last night?'' Ozpin curiously asked
''Um...well...", she timidly said, all her excitement gone
"Wait, it's real?'' Weiss asked, not believing the headmaster
''As real as you and me Miss Schnee, as real as you and me. I heard it before, and I believe it's finally time we deal with this." he said.
''We?'' Yang asked, curious
''Yes. Next Saturday, we will go in the forest to try and apprehend it. I will personally supervise you in this mission helping you if things get too out of hand. You have this week to prepare, so use it wisely, understood?''
''Yes headmaster'', they said in unison
''Oh, almost forgot, for the last two days before this mission you will be excused from classes, again, to relax a bit before we start, ok?''
''Thank you Headmaster'' said Ruby.
''Do you have anything to else to add?''
"Should we expect violence?'' asked Blake
''So far, he is only aggressive to the grimm,very aggressive, and avoids any human in sight, so we should tread carefully.''
"Understood"
"Anything else?''
They shook their heads.
''Then we will meet at the bullhead launch pad, have a nice week girls.''
They nodded and left.
''This will be interesting to say the least." Ozpin said to himself, drinking from his mug.
NextSsaturday, in the bullhead towards the forest everyone was waiting to reach the landing zone. Ruby and Blake were checking their weapons, Weiss was making sure she had enough dust, Yang was cracking her knuckles, waiting for a fight, and Ozpin was running his thumb on the top of his cane.
''We are nearing the landing zone, so make sure you're rea...
"ROOOOOAAAAAAAR".
There it was again, that unnerving sound, even Ozpin was standing straight when he heard it. Blake had it the worst, since her faunus ears were sensitive, and this was louder than the first time, since they were closer.
''We're here. It's time to drop girls''
''Do we really have to do this?'' asked Ruby , scared
''We have no choice Miss Rose, we're droping now.'' responded Ozpin
Gulp*
The bullhead doors opened, and they jumped, hoping this mission would end easy.
They landed, and Blake caught the smell of a dead grimm.
''He's near.'' Blake warned
''Where?'', asked her partner
"There." She pointed to some trees who have been shaken a bit, maybe from a fight.
They walked in between the tress until the saw the grimm and immediately flinched. Weiss almost hurled when she saw the disfigured grimm, laying there, skinned, chunks of it's flesh missing, and it's bone mask ripped from it's head.
''This must be it, we are nearing it.'' Ozpin's voice brought their focus back. '' we need to split up and find it, be careful, understood?''
They nodded, and went their own path. Weiss walked slowly, paying attention to her surroundings, Myrtenaster in her hand, chambered with ice dust.
clank*clank*clank*
She stopped when she heard the noise of metal around her. She stopped and waited until she saw it, the back of the monster, and from the top of her lungs she screamed:
"OVER HERE I FOUND HIM''
The thing stopped in front of her, easily towering over her, while she tried her best to not show any fear, and she succeeded. While she was waiting for her team, she studied the 'man' in front of her. He wore a metal armor that fitted his body perfectly, his chest plate was sticking out in the front a bit, a bone ram skull as decoration on his chest plate. His stomach area was covered in interloping metal plates that allowed him to bend. His arms were covered in full plate armor, without shoulder plates. His legs were covered in grieves, just like Phyrra. From the front and back of his waist, long pieces of fur were draping down to his feet, a small Beowulf skull on the front of his belt above his groin, and his helmet was rounded in the back and sharpened to the front, a single visor, and a black feather as a plume. His collar was surrounded in fur, and the joints in his armor were covered in a black leather-like material. To his side was a long halberd, longer than him, with a simple V shaped axe head, a hammer on the other side, and on top, a long, diamond shaped spike. All of this was mounted on a thick wooden pole covered in leather, with a metal round tip at the end.
After she ended her examination, her team arrived, and Ozpin immediately approached him and asked:
''Who are you?''
A/N: now we know he looks, and that Weiss was scared of him, what will happen, we will see. See you all next chapter.
PS. this took a few hours to make, and I'm very happy that i was able to make it longer, and i think i will pair him with Weiss, I'm also asking for your opinion in this, leave it in the reviews.
