MAJOR SPOILERS FOR RWBY SEASON 6 AND PRIOR
To be honest, I'm beginning to think, I need to add a semi-crack description in the summary.
Also as I said in the last chapter, this chapter will involve a graphic scene. Wait... What am I saying? This is RATED M and has been since the start!
Anyway, if you can't stand graphic scenes, then keep reading.
Why? Cause I'm terrible at writing them, and I ended up writing something different altogether.
It was kind of in the moment, yeah.
THIS CHAPTER HAS NO GRAPHIC SCENES, I LIED/CAN'T WRITE THEM.
Alright, what I really want to say is that the main point of last chapters message was the White Fang Rally. If you've kept up with RWBY then you would know Blake's backstory, unless you read RWBY fanfics first, then got into the anime, which is actually also my case. Blake despite growing up in a well-off household, with loving parents, makes the choice of going and involving herself with the White Fang Rallies. Yes, I know, I probably shouldn't capitalize Rallies, but anyway, Blake even as a child was fighting to make a difference. On that point, I finally have something to fill up the younger years with. So, for the future chapters, I think I might be having less focus on Roger, (poor Roger, he's becoming less and less of the main character), and more onto Blake and Adam. I was going to do Alex as well, but he already has enough development, so for the time being, Roger and Alex will take the back seat.
On another point, I would like to address some comments. (In Order)
June 2hd: I have not read Peerless White Emperor, so I can't make any references to them. I'm more of a 'Desolate Era' and 'ISSTH' person, though they did both already end, so I just read 'SFSP'. As for making an OC based off from Akeno, that would be very hard for me, as I can't really write her character. An OC based off Anko would definitely be easier, but still somewhat too hard.
July 5th: Well, Nakama as the word itself doesn't exist in Remnant since it's Japanese, but I suppose you are right.
July 5th: Yep, Haki is OP as a Semblance, this will also include Conqueror's Haki, of course, just to make it more OP. There'll be even more things to make it more OP, it's also for that reason, that I gave it to Alex due to his character and personality.
July 5th: Roger probably won't be able to summon meteors from space. I'm still kind of deciding on the strength of the Gravity, but Devil Fruit Awakening as a Semblance will be present. Also on the reason why it doesn't do much to aura is that Roger uses his Semblance unintentionally in the same way as Phyrra, minimally to create the illusion that he is invincible. I'll expand on this more, in future chapters. Also, Adam is definitely stronger than Roger. Roger though reincarnated, never had the particular drive or will to become the very best, only wanting to become strong enough to change history. Adam, on the other hand, has the dream of helping the Faunus, and maybe even create equality for them and humans or another goal. It's because of that, Adam has a will and something to drive him to become stronger.
September 6th: That probably won't happen as Roger would be to OP.
October 10th: You can't stop me.
October 24th: Yah.
October 29th, 29th, 30th, 30th, 30th, 30th: Roger will have more fights, eventually. Though for now, he won't find many as a student attending Signal. Also. Gravity applies to all things, this includes Humans and Faunus with Aura. When people unlock their Aura, they create an invisible shield around their whole body that deflects and blocks against a lot of attacks. This invisible shield, in my crazy mind, works like that a normal shield. Piercing damage will be more likely to destroy a shield, than blunt damage, if you manage to get the shatterpoint. Roger's Semblance works similar to blunt damage, instead of trying to specifically penetrate the weak point of someone's Aura, it tries to places pressure on the whole of someone's Aura. Meaning, that Roger's Semblance is more of something that is used to hinder people only, until later, when it becomes stronger. So there you go, that is the reason why Roger's Semblance is quite weak against those with Aura. Also, yes, the trio is getting older, though they still aren't in Beacon, so don't expect too much. White Fang also is presently a peace organisation, so... There's some before anything happens.
After Writing this Chapter Note: I need to stop trying to write everything in one day/I need a Beta to stop me.

Third Person
"Roger, isn't coming?" Blake asked Adam, who was standing next to her.
Adam replied slightly grinning, "No. He doesn't want to come," while looking to the other Faunus that gathered, getting ready for the White Fang Rally.
Though most of the ones Blake and Adam had attended were mainly peaceful, not all of them were.
Thankfully, it appeared this one was peaceful, but...
"Let's get in position..." Blake said somewhat somberly as she saw the police arriving.
The police would always watch the White Fang Rally, intervening only when a fight would happen, but otherwise, even if stones or garbage was thrown to the White Fang members, they would only watch.
It was disgusting to both of them, "Don't worry about them Blake, this one will be peaceful, I have a good feeling about this one..." Adam reassured the younger Faunus, still grinning.
Blake gave her own smile and reply, "Adam, stop grinning, it doesn't suit you."
Adam didn't stop, even if it was a pretend, or forced, he had to keep doing it.
Someone had to keep smiling.
Of course, that person wasn't him, it was Alex.
Alex, the one that never stopped smiling, to Adam, he was similar to a Symbol of Hope.
How could he not be? Adam lived in a world where Humans and Faunus despite having a common enemy, chose to fight each other first. Almost as if Grimm weren't the greatest enemies to Humans and Faunus, but themselves.
But, still, Alex kept on smiling.
And Adam would try to do so as well.
Even if the news of how a few Rallies in the outskirts of Vale had recently become more and more violent, regardless if a new faction of the White Fang under Sienna Khan which preached more "activity" was beginning to rise, or even if Humans and Faunus still hated each other. He had to smile.
Doing so, he picked up his sign. On it was written, 'Equality', 'Peace' and 'Love'.
Blake's one was almost the same, but Adam noted the additional word that seemed to be hastily added by black paint, 'Freedom'.
He would have kept on smiling, but he saw a familiar figure holding something he shouldn't have with a jacket that had a symbol - White Fang.
Dropping his sign, he began running.
Tukson's Book Store
"Still nothing?" Roger asked the elder Faunus.
Tukson reading a random book, replied in a bored tone, "Nothing, though I did get a call earlier, it turned out to be a false lead."
"A false lead?" Roger questioned, wanting to know regardless.
"All the way in Menagerie, the person you asked for was a green haired, red-eyed human, right?" Tukson answered.
'Right... There wouldn't be any reason Emerald would be there...' Roger thought.
Tukson noticing Roger in thought wondered why Roger was looking for a human, especially one with green hair and red eyes.
At least, that meant it would be rather easy to find someone like that.
"Even, if she was in Menagerie, it would be impossible for you to find her there. Your school year's going to be starting again soon, and you hardly have time to go to Menagerie and come back. Not just that, finding her would also be hard itself considering how big Menagerie is." Tukson said, listlessly.
Roger, took a deep breath, he knew Tukson was right. Travelling to Menagerie would take him time, and finding her as well would take time. It was also unlikely that Emerald would even be there. Likely a false lead, Emerald was more likely to be in Vale, than anywhere else.
"I've never seen you as interested in someone before. You weren't half as interested as when you first mentioned her. Is she an internet celebrity or something?" Tukson asked, to which Roger laughed and replied, "I suppose, you could say that..."
White Fang Rally (Adam)
Adam ran. Far faster than the figure he was chasing, however, it didn't seem the figure was alone, as when he got to a certain corner, several men wearing armour similar to that of Atlas and Vale Security Gear appeared even with guns.
"Looks, like it's a Faunus..."
"Heh, a Bull Faunus, didn't they all die in that fire?"
"No, one survived..."
"What was his name again?"
"Adam Taurus..."
There was a fidget from Adam's old name being recalled. Yes, it was still his, and he would never discard it, but, he also had a new name, he would never discard either. Adam Silvers was his name now, in a way he liked how it didn't signify his Faunus feature, though was also sometimes annoyed by his comparison to Gold.
"Regardless, sorry, kid, but we can't let you through."
Adam quickly looked at everyone, their armour and guns meant that they likely weren't people with their Auras unlocked. Had that been true, then the armour would have to be a strange cosmetic choice. He had never heard of Huntsman or Huntswoman wearing the garbs of soldiers, especially those of normal soldiers.
"I'm sorry, but I have to go through," Adam replied, hoping to end the situation peacefully.
However, the guards did not have the same mindset, "Sorry, but we really can't let you go through, especially a Faunus."
"Can't we just blast him? He'll die with the rest of them, those animals..."
"Oi, watch your language."
"Fuck off, they're just animals..."
Adam, however, didn't flinch. He saw how the guards bickered with each other, there was about ten of them, eight of them didn't particularly like the Faunus, one was neutral, and another just seemed to be doing his job.
"Kid, I'm just doing my job, but, let me tell you, I don't want to hurt you, or any of your other Faunus friends, just please, run."
The other guards didn't say anything, but, Adam didn't run.
"Haha, don't run, stay!"
Blood was rushing to his head.
"Does it matter? We can just take care of him right now."
He felt that if he ran, he might lose something important.
"Is he afraid?"
It scared him.
"Just a little Faunus without a weapon."
Back, then, his family was right there behind him.
"Let him run, let him watch."
He ran and watched as they all were engulfed in flames.
"He can't do anything."
He couldn't do anything.
"Screw it, let's just take care of him now..."
But, now he could.
White Fang Rally (Blake)
It started out peaceful. All White Fang Rallies did, but, often, quickly they would descend into madness, and the people would often take that chance to criticise how the Rallies weren't, in fact, peaceful when in truth, the humans began the chaos.
People, both Humans and Faunus gathered to watch. Some watched, some to take part. There was at least now a hundred people taking part, and even more watching.
Some even threw stones. Everyone was born with their own depravities, and there were some in the world, that believed being born a Faunus, was such a depravity.
It was sickening, but such was the world.
Blake and Adam, however, were used to such Rallies, during these times, the adults would always move to the front, and Blake had frequently been told to not participate in them due to the danger. Adam, of course, was different, in the sense that he had unlocked his Aura.
But, regardless, Blake still participated. Hoping for that day, the world would one day be like a Fairy Tale, or perhaps, she would find people to help her...
White Fang Rally (Adam)
Adam didn't have any weapons, he, of course, left his weapon back home as he was going to a White Fang Rally, and thus had to instead augment his hands with Aura as to deal with his foes.
As he expected, none of them had unlocked their Aura, though it was still difficult. He was much younger than the people around him, they seemed to have actual experience with fighting other people.
It was clear, he was steadily losing.
But, still, he had to win. Dodging most of the blasts, the rest impacted on his Aura. He didn't know much of his Semblance, but from what Roger somehow figured out, there needed to be a medium. A weapon.
One he didn't have. In the span of a second, he appeared behind one of the guards, and delivered a devastating a punch, one empowered with Aura, it made the guard fly quite the distance, but the armour had absorbed a large amount of the impact and had cracks with it, but, the guard did seem to be down for the count.
Another guard, took the chance, using the butt of his gun, attempted to hit Adam, but at the second before, Adam felt a presence behind him. He moved and dodged the guard's attempt, both confused at what just happened.
He just managed to dodge an attack that he didn't know was coming. Was, it perhaps his Faunus genes? It could have been, but as he was confused, another shot came, which he dodged, almost as if he knew where it would be coming from.
It was strange, but he stood still.
White Fang Rally (Blake)
It continued. Stones fell from the sky, thrown by people. Some stopped upon seeing Blake, afraid they would hurt a child or be seen hurting a child.
But, there were always those radicals.
Those that hated Faunus with a passion, believed their existence was different to their own - a sin.
Even they weren't afraid of throwing stones or garbage to children.
Blake, however, continued, still adamant, but as she did so, she could have never thought of how infamous this event would become in Faunus history.
White Fang Rally (Adam)
Dozens of blasts came, but Adam stood still, dodging them all with minimal movement. There was a sense of precognition that came with it as if he knew where they would come from before they came. Adam taunted the guards, walking slowly letting them shoot, but miss. And it worked, annoyed by their missed shots, the guards ran to face Adam.
However, as they came, Adam merely dodged or blocked or their attacks, and replied with his own.
Two guards were taken down in an instant as Adam pretended to be off guard. Seven left, but as the battle was going to continue, it was interrupted.
KABOOM
There was an explosion, and Adam looking at where it was, noticed it was near the White Fang Rally, and to close for his liking.
However, as his guard was down, he was shot, by a barrage.
Stumbling, he felt his Aura take a great blow, far to concentrated on elsewhere, he neglected to think about the guards taking the advantage.
Adam, however, didn't fall down, instead, he ran as fast as he could, away, to see if Blake was alright.
White Fang Rally (Blake)
Near the White Fang Rally, an explosion occurred.
Dropping down a few buildings, fire came to both Humans and Faunus alike, though more to the latter who were closer. Almost as if someone was targetting the Faunus.
At the same time, everyone began running.
The Faunus were of course first, since they were the closest.
Some Humans chose to help, others took pictures, and those that had thrown stones had disappeared.
It was unfortunate for Blake, but as everyone ran, she was too small and unnoticeable.
Thankfully due to her cat-like reflexes, it was easy for her to dodge the stampede of people.
But, the fire was coming closer and she was being brought closer to it.
Additionally, due to there being so many people, it was harder for her to escape.
But, even as the people moved, she was struck by fear, unable to move.
She, however, did see Adam running towards her.
White Fang Rally (Adam)
He ran as fast he could, the fire was spreading, he would be relatively fine, whatever was left of his Aura would protect him - hopefully.
Blake, however, was a different matter, he could see her in the middle of people near the back.
She lacked Aura that could protect her, and so with his all power, he moved, dodging everyone quickly running to Blake, but...
KABOOM
At the same time, another explosion occurred, and with it, another building came falling down with even more fire spreading. Undeterred Adam kept on moving, he had to get Blake.
Though she was standing still, it was clear that she was too afraid to move, the fire had slowly begun to surround her and some others that weren't as lucky.
Adam seeing the fire, knew he had to go through it, and that was what he just did.
White Fang Rally (Blake)
Blake was afraid, the fire was hot, her instincts telling her to find high-ground, but she couldn't. She was surrounded by fire, and while she was standing still struck by fear, in the inside she was panicking.
A hundred thoughts all at once.
In one life, perhaps she would have never gone to this Rally, but there was no need to think about that.
From fear, came hatred. She remembered everything Adam and the others had told her, about how humans would often bombard or attempt to sabotage the White Fang Rallies.
It was the fault of humans, wasn't it?
It was all their fault!
Why did they have to harm her?
Would they do the same to her friends?
Adam, Alex and Roger? What about Yang and Ruby as well!?
White Fang Rally (Adam)
It was the obvious choice that Adam moved to Blake first, yes, there were other people, but, even if they were closer, it would always be Blake that he would save first.
As he ran to Blake, his hair and horns caught fire, his clothes somehow managed to avoid being caught. To some, he may have looked like some sort of monster, his flaming red hair on flames with his horns akin to a monster also on flames with his clothes a bright red. But, as Blake saw him, she saw only an angel.
Perhaps, she already had her Fairy Tale, but life was always cruel.
As Blake stayed still, part of a building had begun to fall. Adam saw it, and he knew what he had to do. As quick as he could, he pushed Blake out of the way, and just as he was able to avoid it himself, he stumbled and part of the building had fallen on him.
Whatever Aura that Adam had left was instantly depleted, it was by no means enough to protect Adam from even part of a building falling down on him.
Thus, fire enveloped his body, with nothing being able to protect it, his horns began to burn as did his hair.
White Fang Rally (Blake)
Adam was in front of her, part of a building on top of him, and he was on fire.
"Why... Does this have to happen to me?" Blake said to herself, panicking.
Why had the day changed so quickly? "Adam... Get up... Please!"
It was the fault of humans, right?
Her hatred intensified.
White Fang Rally (Adam)
Could he fall here?
No, he couldn't, there was still so much to do.
He refused to die, as did both his body and spirit.
With whatever strength he had left, he got up.
He picked up Blake, and he saw a group of people, it seemed stupid, but, he felt half-dead and sometimes, just like Alex once said.
If you don't take risks, you can't create a future.
He threw Blake out of the fire, then fell to his knees, and the last thing he saw wasn't Blake, but rather a familiar guard...
White Fang Rally (Stephen Ast)
He felt guilty.
Stephen Ast felt guilty.
He told the boy to run, but he didn't, he fought, only to then run to the explosion.
His colleagues were different, they left as soon as they heard the explosions knowing what would happen.
But, he couldn't bear to leave.
He had to do something.
Just in time, he made it seeing the boy throwing a little girl, and though to most it would seem crazy, he had seen Faunus mothers and fathers throw their children aboard boats and ships for a better life.
Out of the fire, the little girl was thrown and into a group of people, Faunus, but he rather preferred to call them people, both as he was too lazy, and never really see the difference between Humans and Faunus.
Of course, the little girl was caught, no one wanted to, after all, be seen simply letting a child fall on the ground, or perhaps, it was just that they wanted to help?
Stephen Ast didn't know everything. But, he did know, that at this moment right now, he would have to help this boy in front of him.
Picking up the boy, he prepared to take him to the other people, but buildings continued to fall down, it was strange, his team was responsible only for the first explosion, regardless it didn't matter.
He took him to leave the other way.
White Fang Rally (Blake)
Adam was gone.
It was their fault.
It was Humanity's fault.
But, not only just their's.
Her parents also did nothing.
The White Fang also did nothing.
All of their peaceful White Fang Rallies.
In the end, it accomplished nothing, absolutely nothing.
She... Would never lose another loved one again, never again...
Hospitals (Stephen Ast)
"What do you mean, you won't treat him?!" Stephen asked the doctors and nurses, refusing to treat a comatose Adam, why?
"He's a Faunus... And... You don't have enough money either way!"
Without hesitation, Stephen threw bills of Lien, more than enough to treat Adam, it was dirty money, received from the act he had just done, but perhaps, he could at least save one life from it.
Unfortunately, they didn't budge.
"Sir, we're gonna ask you politely... To leave, please take your money and go!"
Stephen didn't reply, nor did he pick up his money, instead he simply left.
It was another hospital he made it to, they also refused to treat him.
"We're sorry, but... Our parent company would cut our funding if they found out we were helping the Faunus..."
Then another.
"Our apologies, but... We currently lack the equipment..."
Again and again.
"So sorry, but, we have no more room..."
More and more excuses. It didn't make sense. Stephen had seen Faunus treated at hospitals before, why had it changed now? The answer he sought was given to him at the last hospital he went to.
"We would, however... Please don't tell anyone... But we are receiving extensive pressure from Omenic Incorporated and the Council as to prevent Faunus from getting treated by hospitals not their own, following their Terrorist Bombings..."
It made sense now, didn't it?
Omenic Incorporated, the company he had been hired by.
They were currently the largest company in Dust Mining, Agriculture and Healthcare, though it did seem they were going to lose the top position for Dust Mining to the up and coming Schnee Dust Company, their position as the top in Agriculture and Healthcare was undisputed.
They by using the excuse of a terrorist attack of radical White Fang members, who was in truth a human in the guise of a White Fang member, was able to temporarily restrict Faunus from receiving medical attention from anywhere except their own hospitals, in that, the danger of Faunus pulling another stunt was too great.
For any other company, it would be difficult. But, Omenic Incorporated, dominated three industries, three very important industries. A little bit of lien to the right people, and nobody would suspect a thing. Omenic Incorporated, at least to Humans was seen as a charitable and protective organisation, due to their cheap and reliable services, only due to the fact they relied on Faunus labour.
Stephen didn't know what their plan was, but, he feared it would be some time until, Faunus could be treated again, and Adam, was in critical condition, and he made a choice. He knew of Faunus that had it done to them by their parents as to protect them, and some Faunus even did it to themselves. Carrying a small knife, he began to cut it. As he finished, he only had one thing to say...
"I'm so sorry..."
The next day, Adam was treated and woke up in the hospital, missing his identity, Adam seemed to be affected by memory loss or amnesia. But, he was missing more than just that. And, he screamed.
Menagerie
"Brothers, Sisters! Omenic Incorporated in Vale has called the attack on Faunus a terrorist action by Faunus! We must not allow for humanity to push us down without pushing back!" Sienna Khan's words were powerful and inspiring.
But, as she was creating her own waves in Menagerie, gathering her followers and influence as well as waiting for Ghira to resign, else she is forced.
Another was creating his own waves.
Omenic Incorporated
"You're a fucking monster..."
"What the hell are you?"
"Goddamn... Faunus..."
Blonde hair, blue eyes with a slightly odd ear shape, Alex was at Omenic Incorporated with bodies of guards on the floor surrounding him.
Then a shouting could be heard, "I don't know who you are, but, the name's Johan Orange, early retired Huntsman, Lady-Magnet, and there's no way I'm going to be losing to you!" A man with slightly dark skin and a short beard with greyish armour said as he ran to Alex with a greatsword attempting to slash vertically using the blunt edge.
The slightest movement and Alex dodged. His hands turned to a metallic black and used it to punch just above the waist of Johan, completely knocking him through another room with a single punch.
"The fuck was that... Did that punch, just bypass my Aura?" Johan noticed, getting up coughing blood and slowly went back to the room he was previously in.
Seeing Alex was still there, he ran with the intent to fight. Still using the blunt edge, but this time striking him horizontally, Alex didn't move this time.
Instead, his right metallic black hand caught the greatsword above his head. Johan pushed down the Greatsword, but found himself unable to move it down, he was recently injured causing him to retire early as a Huntsman and become a guard, but still, there was no way a kid could match him, right?
"Fuck, the prosthetic arms aren't working as well as my real ones..."
But, then, eye to eye, he looked to Alex.
That powerful expression... It didn't belong to any kid, nor a Human or Faunus...
Terrifying, as if he was facing a Conqueror of some sorts.
The Greatsword then without Johan even noticing, broke, following which was a direct punch by Alex who moved slightly back right into the stomach due to the sheer height difference.
Johan this time, didn't get back up.
Lying with his chest on the floor, and bleeding from his mouth, he managed to cough out a few words, "Two punches? What's your name kid... I want to know your name before I die!..."
Alex walked closer replying, "Alex Silvers..." and Johan laughed smiling, "JAJAJAJAJAJA. A good name! Do it kid, I'm ready to die, I've lived... Quite the good life!"
"So you don't know where Adam Silvers is?" Alex asked.
"No... We don't... Maybe the Chairman does... But he would never tell us grunts... Must be your brother eh?" Johan said still laughing and smiling.
"Thanks... That's all I needed to know!" Alex said while smiling, his stern expression gone as he turned the other way.
As he began to walk away, Johan shouted, "Oi. Are you just going to leave us here? We know your identity, you didn't do much to hide it... You even told me! If you let us live, then... We're going to tell-" Johan stopped for a moment as he vomited out some blood, before continuing, "We're going to tell Omenic Incorporated, even if I don't, the guard's will, you're an idiot for not killing me or them... Some humans are as- No even more frightening than the Grimm you know!"
However, still, with the smile, Alex replied, "I don't care."
With that, he began to leave the room, with Johan giving a great laugh. "JAJAJAJAJAJA! A kid invades Omenic Incorporated? Not just that, he kills nobody? There are plenty of people that would rather kill than even think of crossing Omenic Incorporated! They've wiped out the history and existence of certain families for less you know? Don't worry, I knew I was going to die, from either someone like you or even Omenic themselves when I signed up for this job, so do it!"
Alex however, gave the same reply, "No, I already said I don't care."
Johan took a deep breath and spoke, "To think the day, that I lose... I would be spared..." He stopped for a moment, then shouted as loud as he could, "I PROMISE, NOT EVEN DEATH CAN TAKE AWAY MY LIFE AWAY UNTIL I REPAY MY DEBT TO YOU!"
Alex stopped. Those words... He knew that in the same way that Sabo and Ace would never accept to be under Luffy. Adam and Roger wouldn't either accept to be under him. Though Johan was older than he was, in his late twenties, Luffy had a crew member over fifty years older, didn't he?
Thus, Alex turned around, and squatting in front of Johan, he offered his hand.
Confused Johan, didn't know what to say, needless to say, he was even more confused by that Alex said next.
"Join my crew!"
Alex just found his First Mate...
Grimmlands
"So, even his Will has been Inherited..." A woman with a deathly white complexion said to no one in particular with a smile.
Completely alone in a tower devoid of life, unless you counted as the Grimm as having life, somehow. She wasn't normally completely alone, she did have Human and Faunus companions... But they were unfortunately preoccupied.
Below was the stabbed picture of a certain Beacon Headmaster, below also were the stabbed pictures of an old man, an engineer, a man in robes and even a King.
There were other pictures on the floor, but they weren't stabbed, with Johan added to the pile on the floor, there was also a boy with purple hair and blue eyes, another with pink hair, and many others.
However, she was holding one in particular. It was none other than Alex, with his blonde hair and blue eyes. She caressed the picture as if it was some sort of treasure. Smiling she whispered a few words to it, "God's Natural Enemy still lives..."
Placing it on the table, she recounted memories from such times only herself and the certain Beacon Headmaster would remember from. There was a time when the Grimm were not as powerful as they once were. Not that they were weaker, no, rather everyone was stronger.
People existed, capable of splitting apart entire continents with ease, destroying mountains with their fists as training, even one considered weak within the past, could easily reign as the strongest within Remnant.
It was a time when even the Gods of Light and Darkness feared walking the Earth. After all, that was when he still lived... Recalling him, she also remembered a certain promise she made. "I haven't forgotten, I'm still waiting..."
As she continued to recall her memories, one of her companions had returned. It was the youngest, her name was... Cinder. Yes, she may as well tell her story, while she thought about it. It was a very interesting story...
Haven
"Jinn," Ozpin called out to the Relic of Knowledge.
"Wonderful." Jinn stated leaving her lamp stretching, "It's a pleasure to see you again, old man. What's your question, you have two left."
Ozpin thought about it, could he really use this chance as a question?
No, he had to, this information was far too valuable.
"I want to know the history of Remnant."
Jinn, however smiling replied, "You already know the history of Remnant."
Ozpin merely replied with, "No, I don't. Tell me about him, the Pirate King."
There was a moment as Jinn became stiff and even shivered, which Ozpin didn't even know was possible for someone like her.
"The Pirate King... Even I do not know everything, only parts. But, I will tell you to the best of my ability, old man..."
Ozpin waited, as he did, his surroundings turned white, and he found himself to a scene, one he had only heard legends about...
...

Notes:
Edited the last chapter slightly.
Don't forget, Adam, Alex and Blake, think that Yang and Ruby are actual Faunus.
I alluded to one of Chris August's song, I think, properly, hopefully.
Also, I tried to kind of parallel Stephen Ast's Hospital Scene with Adam, like the one with Law and Corazon. Stephen and Adam's scene is obviously less powerful, as being a Faunus is nowhere as bad as the White Lead Disease.
Also.
Alex = Luffy.
Adam = Ace. (I put Ace's quote of running away, with Adam somewhere in the chapter :D)
Sabo = Roger.
Yes, they met differently in comparison to One Piece, but that's how their personality fits. Yes, I originally did Zoro and Sanji, but that doesn't work as well.
Now to...
IMPORTANT NOTES:
END OF VOLUME 1.
I RECENTLY WATCHED THE OZMA AND SALEM BACKSTORY, AND OMG, WTF, WTH, I WILL TAKE THIS CHANCE.
Yes. I know it came out quite some time ago, but, due to my lack of resources, I'm forced to watch youtube clips, reactions or read the RWBY Wiki.
Anyway, my original plan was to make Signal Academy either one big Volume or four small Volumes.
BUT, THIS HAS CREATED THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY FOR ME TO WRITE ABOUT THE RWBY AND ONE PIECE WORLD.
So...
THIS IS THE END OF VOLUME 1, AND NEXT CHAPTER WILL BE A FLASHBACK VOLUME OF TWO-FOUR CHAPTERS.
(It won't be only flashbacks, but it will be mainly flashbacks.)
ALSO, THIS IS THE PERFECT TIME FOR A TIMESKIP!
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT I'M WRITING ANYMORE.
I'VE BEEN WRITING STRAIGHT FOR THE PAST TWELVE HOURS.
I MEAN WRITING FOR FOR THE PAST TWELVE HOURS STRAIGHT.
WAIT WHICH ONE IS IT.
SCREW IT.
GOOD NIGHT.
One last thing, this was originally going to be two chapters, but... OZMA AND SALEM.
