Chapter 4: Berserker

~FantasyRider's domain~

"Hello Ozpin" said Salem as she and her 'minions' were there.

Immediately Ozpin and his inner circle immediately tensed up and were ready to fight at a moment's notice.

"Rider, why did you let HER here?!" demanded Qrow as he was glaring at Salem, he reached for his weapon but remembered that they were armless.

The queen of the Grimm simply ignored Qrow and stared at Ozpin.

Rider entered and answered "alright... I'll be honest... They also NEED to see this... Although this viewing will be more beneficial to you guys..." he sighed before he snapped his fingers.

Soon everyone's eyes widen as the knowledge they gained.

"Y-You..." Ruby whimpered as she looked at Salem with a glare, her eyes began to water as she at the creature that took her mother away from her... And whatever she did to her people...

The others looked at the rest of the Grimm Queen's entourage.

"YOU!" roared Yang as she began to charge at Mercury and would reel her arm back for a punch, it was because of this douchebag's legs that got her in that situation!

Ironwood would glare at the enemy and reached for his pistol to kill Watts but he realized he doesn't have his weapons.

Pietro looked at Watts with such disdain.

"Whoa... Dude... That's... Wow..." muttered Sun as he gained the knowledge along with everyone else, so all this time there was a secret war going on between the Headmaster of Beacon and this scary lady...

"As much as I like to watch you tumble and beat each other's asses into oblivion... We need to continue this segment... The others can be caught up..." with the snap of his fingers Rider the audience were immediately seated with food, drinks, snacks placed under them.

"Wait aren't we supposed to like get a recap or something?" questioned Neon Katt as she was now confused, so many things were happening at once and it was difficult to keep up.

Neptune would agree "yeah, you suddenly brought us here! Dumped this info and are expecting us to just accept things?!"

After a moment of silence Rider answered "yes"

Before anyone could say anything else he popped out of existence.

This flabbergasted those who were new, except for Salem and surprisingly Fox.

The team leader of CFVY looked to the others who were here before asking "so any of you guys know what we're doing here?" she tilted her sunglasses down.

Everyone began to fill in the new comers, albeit begrudgingly to the 'villains'.

"Wow... So we're watching an alternate world where we live with beings known as Revenants?"

"Yep!"

"Yes!'

"Yippers!"

Coco sounded somewhat impressed by the clothing described but a thought came to her "you know one can't help but think these Revenants are edgy"

~With the Villains~

"Cinder... Take note of these 'Revenants', they could be a potential ally... Or a threat..." said Salem to her underling as she was intrigued yet disturbed by the fact that these Revenants were almost true immortals like Ozma and herself.

"Yes mistress..."

"I bet I can beat them no problem" boasted Mercury as he leaned back in his seat and would rather enjoy the show.

"I doubt it" said Emerald as she rolled her eyes, but underneath she was shaken that she had switched sides and joined the 'good guys', it made her shiver with disgust.

Watts was intrigued, perhaps he can make these Revenants to supply his mistress, maybe she'll even fancy him over Cinder.

Hazel glared his eyes at Ozpin, now his rage was furthered by the knowledge that he's now sending children to their deaths.

Tyrian was thinking that perhaps he'll have new people to play with, forever.


Chapter 4: Berserker

~Emerald Forest, Near cliffside, a few minutes ago~

Ozpin the headmaster of Beacon Academy stared at the screen on his scroll, he let out a smile as he saw the recording of AJ reviving a Bloodspring and giving the blood-bead to Mia, he smiled as he looked out to the forest.

"Wait you were watching us headmaster?!" asked Nora with a bewildered expression.

Ozpin nodded "yes but that was to ensure you student's were not dead... Security measures as well..."

"Oh... Okay!"

He heard footsteps behind him and he saw Glynda looking at her scroll with a worried expression.

"What's wrong Glynda?" he asked as he approached her with concern.

The deputy headmistress shook "I-I just... Ozpin! I just lost 4 vital signs of Revenants and a student's Aura is in the red! Critical!"

"WHAT?!" screamed the Heroes with shocked expressions.

"A-A whole team... J-Just got w-wiped out?" quivered Ruby as she heard that the equivalent of a full team of Huntsmen were killed.

"Ha! So much for 'immortal creatures'!" laughed Mercury as he found it ironic that these guys who were supposed to be 'immortal creatures' were dead.

"Well... We did see the corpses of four Revenants in the previous viewing..." muttered Roman as he remembered seeing 4 bodies along with 2 others when the students confronted Oliver.

Velvet couldn't believe that a huntsmen team were all gone, just like that and a student was heavily injured and on death's door.

Seeing his teammate be distraught Yatsuhashi would gently place a hand on the bunny girl's shoulder to ease her worries.

Hearing that the elderly huntsman's eyes widened as he turned to the forest and soon his eyes gave a flash of red "blood... Fresh..." he knew where it was coming from.

"If any students are on their way make sure that they do not go out... I'll find the Lost that did this..." he said as he grabbed his cane and would jump off from the top of the cliff and head to the direction where he smelled the blood originating from.

The heroes would have hope that Ozpin would arrive in time to help them as Roman's words about the 4 dispersing bodies in the previous chapter meant that the one who killed a team of Revenants was Oliver.


~Emerald forest, clearing, present~

"RRRAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHH!" screamed Oliver Collins as he prepared his Great-hammer for combat, his eyes glowing menacingly at the 12 students.

"Whoa who's that guy and why does he look so angry?" asked Scarlet David as he saw Oliver for the first time.

"That's Oliver Collins" said Jaune as he stared at his friend with immense worry "... He was a friend to my counterpart... He's one of the Lost now..." he said the last part somberly as he remembered that the friend of his other self is now an enemy.

The Faunus (exception of Tyrian who was laughing his ass off maniacally) felt fear and when they saw his glowing eyes behind his mask those that were having a negative effect felt like they were prey to a predator.

"W-Why d-do I w-wa-want to... R-Ru-Run away f-fr-from h-hi-him...?" asked Sun as he trembled with complete fear, his instincts were telling him to run away.

"R-Rider d-did say w-we'd k-know i-if we c-continued..." trailed off Blake as she was now gripping the arms of her chair hard enough to make it crack.

"He's one of these 'Lost' you say?" hummed Salem as she was now examining the person that was Oliver Collins, he was acting and behaving like one of her creations, that earned her curiosity more.

"Oliver..." Jaune mumbled softly as he saw his first friend become one of the Lost.

AJ also looked saddened but he still presented arms and prepared to fight his former friend.

The Lost in human form charged at them with incredible speed that made everyone recoil a bit from just how fast.

The speed they saw Oliver move in was too fast, faster than Ruby's or Oobleck's speeds.

"W-Woah!"

"Holy shit!"

"S-So fast"

"H-Has he a-always been that quick?!"

Were the various responses as they saw the speed of Oliver when he rushed at everyone.

Luckily though Yakumo was there as he parried the attack but he was sent flying a few feet back.

Yang and Nora would both swing their weapons respectively at Oliver in an attempt to stun him.

But the Lost proved to show it's challenging side, for the creature swiftly ducked and would swing its hammer at the two with the intent of injuring or even killing. However Louis would block this attack as he placed a foot firmly on the ground beneath him, he turned to the others and motioned them to press the attack while Oliver's busy.

The Lost with the mask would immediately pull back his hammer and swung it in a wide arc allowing the more nimble and agile members of the group to score a hit.

Soon a glyph could be seen under Oliver's feet which turned black, his body was unable to move as he growled out at the assembled hunters/Revenants.

For Weiss though she was having trouble trying to keep him in place, the Grimm were easy and she could even do it on Lost, but for some reason Oliver's proving to be difficult "g-get him! I-I can't hold him for long!"

Everyone nodded and would all charge at Oliver quickly.

"Kick his ass!"

"Yeah beat him up!"

"Go team RWBY, JNPR and Revenants!"

The 1st year Beacon students shouted and cheered for their counterparts to win against Oliver's Lost form.

The first to strike were Louis, Blake and Ren as the 1st used his red bladed sword to slash at the Lost's leg, the 2nd would hit the enraging creature's arms, the 3rd would jump up and flip while firing his dual SMGs at Oliver.

The second to strike was Yakumo, Yang and Nora as the large sword wielder would swing down on the Lost's back, the gauntlet user would use her strength to strike at Oliver's arms, Nora would jump up and use her own hammer to strike at his head.

AJ, Jaune and Pyrrha would attack, AJ used his pipe to strike at the neck making a sickening crunching sound, Jaune used the blunt end of his shield to bash Oliver's masked face while Pyrrha used her sword/spear/rifle to slash at one of the monster's exposed openings.

Mia and Ruby would be at the back waiting for everyone to move so they can fire.

Weiss herself was having trouble to even keep Oliver pinned, they needed to end this now or they'll be in a lot of trouble.

Unfortunately while she thought that she would lose concentration and Oliver would be free of the Glyph, he looked around and spotted the closest person, Nora.

Those who saw that would look at Nora on screen and try and warn her.

"Nora watch out!" this came from Jaune as he instinctively wanted to rush over to his teammate that's like a sister to him and fight, but he was reminded that he's viewing nothing more than a screen.

Ren seeing his childhood friend be targeted tensed but reminded himself that he was in a movie theater and that she was sitting next to him.

The ginger girl looked at him with worry and had a bad feeling in her stomach.

"Nora watch out!" Ren warned her as he spotted Oliver look at Nora, without any warning the Lost would grab the ginger hunter by her neck and toss her up a bit before slamming his Great-hammer against her stomach.

The force was strong enough to send Nora a few feet, her body would go limp as she skidded on the floor.

The young girl herself coughed up blood as her Aura was immediately broken, sparks of her Aura could be seen as she tried to get up but felt very weak and heavily injured.

"NORA!" screamed the usually stoic Lie Ren as he looked at his partner with panicked looks, but that would be a poor decision for him.

Oliver wouldn't care as he grabbed the worried male by his leg and toss him in the air as well, he would then jump up and bring down his Great-hammer, slamming it on Ren's body forcing him back to the earth.

A sickening crunch could be heard as Ren let out a scream of agony, he felt something in him break and he also coughed up blood.

Jaune and Pyrrha were feeling cold, they saw Nora's body go limp and her Aura cracked as if trying to fix itself but having difficulty, and seeing Ren that's physically weaker be essentially smashed with enough force to break someone's spine.

"T-There's no way that Oliver's that strong! T-There's just no way!" mumbled Yang as she tried to reason in her head, Aura takes time to recover but they took a full 15 minute break in the previous viewing so Aura should have been repaired fully, but Oliver just one-shot Nora and shattering her protective barrier with ONE strike.

Salem was having ideas about having her Grimm be powerful enough to do that, but then again the more powerful the more difficult it is to control a Grimm.

"I-If he's actually THAT strong t-then t-there's no doubt that he could have killed both Whitley and that girl easily too.." Weiss stated as she felt colder than normal at the thought of having her brother be murdered and she couldn't do anything, she felt powerless.

"Not even Yatsu's that strong!" exclaimed Coco Adel as she saw the brute strength of Oliver and compared it to her friend.

The silent giant nodded as he too was shocked at the amount of raw power from just one swing.

"S-Sage... Y-You can take him right?" asked Neptune nervously to his teammate hoping that their friend could match Oliver.

The teen shook his head.

"B-But.. N-Nora's stronger than all of us... And Oliver just... Swatted her like a fly..." Ruby stuttered as she couldn't believe just how powerful Oliver was after obtaining the Thirst.

"Ren!" shouted Jaune as he saw two of his teammates be immediately put out of action and are bleeding, he kept his cool though as he and Pyrrha were next to team RWBY and the 4 Revenants.

Oliver roared at them but then was interrupted by the sound of something fast approaching them, it turned and attempted to strike with a swing but missed.

The figured jumped and twirled above the beast and would use quick and precise strikes with something blunt to hit at the Head, Neck, Chest, Leg and arms. The figure turned out to be Ozpin, the headmaster of Beacon.

"H-Headmaster!" Weiss managed to stay as she was having difficulty controlling her breathing, she was behind held up by Yakumo.

Seeing their Headmaster arrived the student's felt a sigh of relief.

"Hoho! Looks like Ozpin is taking matters into his own hands" boasted Port as he saw his friend's arrival.

Salem saw how young her ex-husband looked compared to what he currently looked liked, she noticed that he looked younger.

"Thank you headmaster" thanked Jaune as he turned to the elder huntsman.

Ozpin himself waved him off "my student's lives are in danger from something I feel like they're underprepared, so of course I would arrive."

Though that earned only even more ire from Hazel as he was seething with rage and being held back.

Yang saw Weiss being held by Yakumo and couldn't help "aww Weiss-cream look, you're knight in shining armor is holding you~"

"Q-Quiet you brute!"

Blake and Ruby grabbed Nora and Ren as they approached the group, Yang would quickly grab Whitley and the strange girl and bring them over.

Now everyone was together and the headmaster looked to Oliver.

"Young Oliver... You shall finally know peace..." he said in a somber tone as he gripped his cane hard and bowed his head in solemn respect for the young Revenant who had turned to the thirst, he looked up and his eyes flashed red as he saw the creature in front of him begin to act.

Seeing that Ruby would be confused "how come the Revenants eyes flashed red when we see them?"

She received an answer in the form of a smack to the head courtesy of a boot and a note that says [dramatic scenes]

"Owie"

Yang would come over and rub her head gently and caressing it.

Oliver would let out a growl before gripping his head and as if struggling, he let out growls and groans of bestial nature before he let out a monstrous roar up to the heavens, as this happened there was a swirl of gust circling around Oliver and soon that wind turned into black like substance with a red hue as it swirled faster, soon though it covered the former Revenant in a torrent of black like wind and then exploded.

But what stood in front of them wasn't human in appearance anymore, it was monstrous and towered over all of them that it was blocking the sun from their position, it's body was HUGE that AJ would be a toothpick in comparison but it's skin was ash black and gave off a black like aura, it's legs were long but malnourished, it's arm chunky yet deformed, around the head was a mask of sorts reminiscing of a boar's snout, protruding out of the back were dread lock like hair, but the most prominent of all were the eyes it revealed through the mask.

Malicious, Murderous, Anger, Hatred, Revenge, Desire, Loneliness and Red...

The new monstrosity let out a savage like roar at the group and it's Great-hammer also changed, instead of a usual blunt end this one was... Corrupted, changed for there was spikes at the end of it as if to be used as a stabbing weapon.

What they saw shocked everyone, for they never expected Oliver to transform into what is essentially a monster.

"Holy shit... Holy shit... HOLY SHIT!" screamed Cardin as he saw the size of the Hammer and felt like he was going to be turn into a fruit.

The Faunus in the area felt dread and fear well up in their beings, Sun and Blake got up and hid behind their chairs in pure terror. They now know why they were feeling this way, because Oliver was literally a monster in human form, something that would inspire dread into their beings and now was released and looked ready to begin the hunt on the Faunus.

Qrow was ready to drink out of his flask before it was taken by Roman who drank it instead and almost drank the whole canteen out of the sheer impossibility and size and malice of the creature they witnessed.

Salem looked in awe at such a creature, the way it inspired fear and dread to those in the audience and surrounding it, it gave her an idea on what kind of new Grimm she could create.

"Cinder, take notes... These viewings shall be a great source of information and ideas..."

"M-Ma-Ma'am?' not even Cinder was spared from the killing intent.

"Oh dear..." Muttered the elderly Revenant Huntsman as he prepared to fight for his and his student's lives.

"So... What's the plan old man?" asked AJ as he stood next to Ozpin and readied his Pipe, though he figures it probably won't help much now that Oliver's changed.

"What we're dealing with is a Greater Lost... One of the few Lost that can be the equivalent of an Alpha Grimm or even Ancient... Students, prepare yourselves...For the fight for your lives and the lives of those who are unconscious..." said Ozpin as he steeled himself and prepared to fight the Greater Lost.

Next to him AJ nodded and also prepared, he looked at Oliver's new form and muttered "let you finally know peace... Oliver Collins..."

Yakumo heaved his sword in front of him "roger that sir and you new kid, be sure to protect your heart"

Louis nodded and was behind Ozpin along with Mia, the two younger Revenants brandished their weapons respectively.

"We'll follow your lead sir, just tell us what we have to do..." was Louis' words as he prepared.

Mia didn't say anything except raise her bayonet at the enemy and steadied her breathing.

AJ turned to Jaune and the others "you guys make sure that no Lost or Grimm approach us while we're facing Oliver okay? We have people to protect and we can't do that if we're fighting him"

Hearing that the blond male nodded "alright though it'll be tough considering we're down by 2, but we'll watch over them"

"Revenants, ATTACK!" gave the order from the grey haired elder Revenant as he and the 4 others charged to Oliver's Greater Lost and the battle began.

"GO GET HIM GUYS!" cheered Ruby as she wanted to bring morale back up, she knew that the heroes were gonna win.

Despite her optimism the others weren't fortunate to believe, the sheer raw power that Oliver was giving off made them feel small.

Weak...

Insects...

Worthless...

The first to attack was Oliver as he would swing his weapon down onto the approaching Revenants, but they dodge out of the way and would retaliate respectively.

Ozpin would swing his cane in a rapid succession as each strike was against one of the Lost's arm joints.

Yakumo swung his Greatsword in an arc that created a gash across both of Oliver's legs.

Mia would then aim her Bayonet with one hand and fired, but instead of a bullet it would be an orb the size of a bullet and would fly across the sky and hit Oliver on the chest which dispersed, she followed it up by firing another shot, then another but she took a step back and then pressed herself up off the ground and fired one more round at Oliver before she stood on the ground.

Ozpin and Salem's eyes widened as they saw what Mia did 'SHE CAN USE MAGIC?!' they both thought at the same time, then it came to a realization that Louis also used something similar to magic.

'Is it possible that with the rise of Revenants, magic returned?' internally questioned the Beacon headmaster as he stared at his Revenant students and his counterpart fighting a Greater Lost.

'It shouldn't be possible! Magic vanished!' thought Salem with disbelief as she and her ex were the only one's who could actually use magic.

Neon Katt was excited "OH MY GODS FLINT! LOOK AT THAT! ACTUAL MAGIC!" she wasn't the only one though as there was another orange and excitable girl.

"LOOK RENNY, MAGIC IS REAL!"

"Y-Yes..."

Those who didn't believe were in disbelief...

"S-So what A-AJ... A-And L-Louis d-did w-wa-was..." stuttered Weiss as she tried to make logical theories but they were thrown out the window with the reveal that Revenants can indeed use magic.

"OHMYGOSHWEISSWEHAVETOKNOWWHATMAGICTHEYKNOW!" squealed Ruby loudly as she went hyper on her words at the prospect of magic being real.

Louis would place a hand on his weapon before gliding it across, not long after flames would spew from the hilt of the blades and travel to the tip of the edged weapon, however not only did his weapon become engulfed in flames but also the other Revenants weapons were inflamed all at once.

AJ would hit Oliver in the back with his pipe and would and repeated the pattern before rolling back a bit and breathing heavily, not cut out for prolonged combat.

However this proved to be a wrong idea as Oliver would open his left palm and a swirl of red energy forming into a ball was created, he then crushed it and soon an explosion of red like energy exploded from him knocking Yakumo, Ozpin and Louis back at once.

After recovering from his low stamina the obese Revenant would use his left hand to form an energy around his fist and fire it at Oliver, it did little damage but it gotten the monster's attention.

"HE HAS A FUCKING AOE?! THAT'S SOME BULLSHIT!" screamed Yang as she looked on at frustration.

Those who weren't used to the term had confused looks.

Penny would answer "oh, Area of Effect! It's a term used in video games that happens when a player uses a spell or special ability to damage their enemies if their surrounded or to 'buff' and 'debuff'"

Eyes wondered to her, some of them being weirded out.

"Speaking of buffs, HOLY SHIT! Did Louis just enchant everyone's weapons with a fire element?!" shouted Jaune as he looked in awe.

"Aww yeah! Now we're talkin!"

"Yang don't you da-"

"You could say that they're 'Hot' on Oliver's heels eh?"

A lot of groaning and what sounded like a distant 'BOO YOU SUCK'

Followed by a distant 'I get it!' 'Shut up Nappa'

The trio who were knocked down immediately got back up and attacked once more, this time with strikes to the weak points.

Ozpin would aim his cane's blunt end to hit Oliver's kneecaps in order to force the Lost to lose balance, next Yakumo would slash at Oliver's back creating a large gash, Louis would then use his flaming weapon to slash at the beasts' elbows to force it to lose the grip on its weapon.

The Greater Lost would turn to the 3 and swung once more in a large arc but this time it would swing it's Great-hammer with momentum and would manage to hit them in the side and send them towards the others who were unable to fight.

"Louis!" Blake and Weiss would shout with worry at seeing their friend be sent their direction and hitting a nearby tree splintering it in half.

"Yakumo!" Yang and Ruby called out to their friend who skidded next to them, he had some blood dripping from his forehead but he was still breathing.

"Headmaster!" this came from the remains of JNPR as they saw the Headmaster land next to them and his Cane landing near him.

Ignoring the others cries Oliver turned and would see AJ, he attempted to swing but suddenly felt his back being used.

Mia would use the blindsided Lost's back as she got up and would be on his shoulders, she fired repeatedly into his head but he grabbed her using a hand and smack her against the ground and stomping on her stomach.

The gunner coughed up blood and felt some of her bones crack at having being crushed by Oliver's foot.

AJ seeing the others be wiped out or be defeated would quickly, he looked at Oliver's changed form before shouting "OLIVER!" he was hoping to get the attention of the monster that was once his friend.

The enlarged enemy slowly turned its head to the last capable Revenant and removed its food before turning to the young teen staring at him.

In that one moment the young teen Revenant would jump up and be holding Louis' sword that he dropped when he was thrown, and it was this moment that decided their fate as AJ swung the inflamed sword down cutting the larger Lost.

*SPLAT*

"Oouuaaaggghh..." the sound of an entity dying could be heard.

The enormous Lost... That could block out the sun... The one that killed without remorse... The one that nearly wiped out an entire batch of students...

*BOOM*

*CLANG*

Fell forward... Dispersing into ashes... Leaving nothing but its weapon as proof of its existence...

The Greater Lost...

Was Defeated...

"H-He did it... AJ... Killed Oliver..." muttered Ruby wide eyed, she couldn't believe that AJ actually killed Oliver with a pipe of all things.

But...

"D-Damn it..."

AJ's body shook as he looked down and his hat's shadow covering his eyes, he fell to one knee before placing the end of Louis' blade into the ground where Oliver dispersed.

"D-Damn it all..." his voice shaken as the sounds of whimpers could be heard, they grew louder before he shouted to the heavens.

"WWWWWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!?"

He had made a friend...

The first person who he met beside that girl and became friends with him...

The one who helped him at the start of initiation...

The one person he promised to partner with and explore the world with...

The one whom he had cherished...

And the same friend who he was forced to put down...

The obese male sobbed as he placed his head against the hilt of the sword and just let it out, it was tough on him as he was hesitant to fight even when his pipe brushed against Oliver's form, he hoped that Oliver was still in there and that they could talk it out...

But deep down he knew...

It was too late...

So with a hardened heart and will...

The boy who had woken up and befriended a man who was kind to him...

Gave that man an eternal rest...

He sobbed as his tears dripped from his eyes and down his mask.

He felt a hand on his shoulder but didn't look to see...

In that moment he just wanted some time to himself...

...

...

...

...

Those were sympathetic to AJ's plight bowed their heads in respect "may you find peace in the Brother's embrace Oliver..." prayed Port as he gave respect to a student who perished.

Ruby looked ready to cry as she hugged Yang, Weiss, really anyone as she didn't want to think that way, being a Huntsmen didn't kill ending human lives...

Right?

Mercury just shrugged "eh... 6/10 for action, minus points for presentation."

He was eventually punched by Yang as she got up and marched to him and used her fist to do the deed "SHUT THE FUCK UP CRIPPLE!"

Before things could escalate the screen resumed.

However that moment of silence was cut off when a voice spoke from nowhere...

"You Revenants are Freaks! Get out of here!"

Louis would be the one to notice where it's coming from and he made everyone step back "get back! It's a Vestige..." they all turned and saw what looked liked a corrupted dust crystal.

It was in the shape of a crystal resembling dust but there was spikes protruding from it, malicious and almost menacingly, a faint black aura with red lines surrounded it.

"Huh? Did Oliver drop a Dust crystal?" questioned Nora after everyone had a moment of silence for Oliver.

Weiss shook "no Valkyrie, it's a Vestige that Louis had pointed out obviously... Though I do wonder why it looks like a refine Dust crystal... But somehow it looks..."

Pietro finished for her "... Wrong... That Dust crystal is wrong... There's no records of something similar."

Ironwood nodded "yes... This 'Vestige' feels so wrong... There's... Something to it and I don't like it..."

"Be careful everyone... Don't touch it... It's something that the Lost sometimes leave behind when they disperse..."

"...Someone has to be Sacrificed..." that voice was something both AJ and Jaune knew immediately.

"O-Oliver?" Jaune went and picked it up but was stopped by Ozpin.

"I would not advise it young man... These Vestiges are capable of corruption... It could transform a Revenant to a Lost in an instant... And any Huntsmen that has tried to hold it... They die immediately afterward..." he said as he remembered seeing a Huntsman try and take Vestige only to have his life be taken in an instant.

No warning... Nothing left...

"Whoa... So... Something this dangerous can be left behind by the Lost on chance then?" Mercury was the one to ask this, it was so dangerous that not even the Revenant themselves are able to touch it, not without becoming one of the Lost.

"Yeah... It seems that way... But something so small can cause so much destruction of the body and mind..." muttered Oobleck as he studied the Vestige and couldn't help but feel the need to study it, with the most safest way of course.

"Without Blood beads, we won't make it!"

As though something bewitching has overcome him and his sorrow, AJ would get up and approach the object, his hand would reach out and grab the Vestige as they talked, and immediately the spikes extended penetrating his hand and he squirmed and shake uncontrollably.

Ruby noticed as she tried to stop him "STOP!" but it was too late.

"What are you doing!? Let go!" Louis would say as he saw his partner do something reckless despite having just gotten out of a fight.

"What is that idiot doing?!" screamed Weiss as she couldn't believe the obese male would do something so stupid.

"Let go fatass!" yelled Yang as she now tried to reach and stop him but couldn't due to it being a screen.

"Nononono!" Ruby cried as she was going to see AJ die, they had just won a battle for their lives for Brother's sake! They can't lose someone now!

AJ let out groans of pain as he tried to not let this power consume him, but then a soothing voice could be heard.

"It's alright... You can do it..." she then gently placed a hand where his heart would be.

Then as if a surge of power coursed through him, the obese Revenant would have blue like aura charge through him and up his arms into the Vestige, it glowed a bright and fiery blue as if purifying it, his eyes also glowed a vibrant shade of blue as he calmed down and everything seemed okay.

Not long after a bright blinding light flashed and expanded engulfing everyone in the vicinity.

"W-What?" muttered Whitley as he was blinded and soon everything went black.


~Unknown location~

[BGM: Memories of the Lost]

When AJ opened his eyes the first thing he noticed was he was in a black like void, but soon shapes began to form and he was on a stone like path, there was nothing except for the faint light emanating from nowhere and what looked liked to be floating orange like lanterns 'lighting' the way.

"W-Where am I?" he asked as he turned and saw a street light, he saw a fence and a single pathway leading forward.

Without any knowledge or any reason he decided to move forward.

He went past the light post.

Jaune would look around as he followed the path until he came across an image playing in front of him.

"Please don't do this! I'll pull my weight! I'll do anything just don't kick me out!" the sound of Oliver begging was heard and the image was showing Oliver kneeling in front of a man and a crowd.

"You Revenants are Freaks! Get out of here!"

"Yeah we don't want your kind!"

"Oliver... By majority vote you are no longer welcome to the town... I'm sorry..." said what assumed to be the Mayor as he looked at Oliver and covered his eyes with his hat, his tone of regret.

But what shocked Blake was that the people who kicked out Oliver were all Faunus, they all had animal characteristics and appendages, even the mayor had rabbit ears but they were droopy with emotion.

She then continued unable to speak as she would go through another light post.

Louis would stop in front of another scene, this time Oliver with his weapon.

"Mommy... Daddy..." were the sounds of a child crying in agony before the sounds of Dispersal were heard.

Ruby looked at shock at Oliver, there was a Bloodspring and there was a single Blood bead, in front of him was a pile of ash and he had his hammer out.

"Someone has to be sacrificed..." he then looked at the single Blood Bead "without Blood beads, we won't make it!"

Ren would look down and shook his head, he then saw the path before following it leading to yet another scene.

"Wandering us Revenants like us are nothing more than pawns for the Kingdoms..." said an unknown voice as Pyrrha walked and saw the scene of Oliver be surrounded by Revenants, they all looked menacing and seemingly threatening him.

"Any blood beads found are the key to our survival... Even if it means... Sacrificing some Revenants to get the job done..." Nora looked on in bewilderment as she saw these Revenants force Oliver to do something he didn't want to.

Whitley continued to walk down the path watching these... Memories of Oliver Collins...

Mia would be approaching a new memory of Oliver, this one was recent because it showed him sitting on the ground with his mask broken, in the distance she can see AJ's retreating figure.

"I guess you reap what you sow... Right?" he said as he winced and gritted his teeth, he then looked up at the vanishing figure of his friend and smiled somberly under his mask "well... At least as long as one of us makes it... Uuuaoaggh!" were Oliver's last moments as a Revenant before he became a Lost.

Ozpin stared at Oliver's last memory before the sound of the Lost taking control was heard, he walked and saw everyone else ahead, he walked to them.

AJ would look around and saw everyone had varying reactions, but they all were of obvious one...

He turned to look at the girl who was without her mask staring at her almost emotionless "where are we?" he asked hoping she had the answer if she was being this calm.

"This is a memory echo, it's a place where lost recollections still wander." she stated as she looked at everyone else.

Louis would be the one to ask the question of all "is this... The memories of one of the Lost? T-That couldn't be..." he was in disbelief at such a thing.

"M-Maybe we're all having a crazy dream!" tried to explain Weiss as she had a difficult time believing this.

But it would be Jaune who called out on that "I doubt it... It's not possible for 13 of us to have the same dream AND the memories of Oliver..." at the mention he looked down at the path that lead to here and saw all those visions in clear picture.

"Jaune's right... I don't believe it but the evidence is clear... We're... In Oliver's memories..." said Yakumo as he looked down and saw that he was weaponless.

"T-Then did that m-mean we all..."

"Yes" was the short answer of Mia as she couldn't believe that they're in someone's memories.

"Hey you! How do we get out of here?!" Demanded Yang as she approached the white haired and black hooded girl who seemed to be calm.

Said girl pointed to the stairs leading to an iron door of sorts "If you that stairway, I believe it should take us back to the world outside this memory, come..." she then proceeded to walk to the door.

The large iron doors opened revealing a bright white light, the girl entered and she vanished from the realm.

Seeing that everyone would walk towards it, but due to the stairs having one they all went one by one.

AJ was the last and as he reached the light he heard Oliver's voice once last time.

"Thank you... My friend..."


~Rider's theater~

And with that the viewing ended, leaving everyone flabbergasted

"W-What did we just..." muttered Taiyang as he breathed in and out, he didn't know why but he felt as if he was there.

Rider came back, he looked at everyone "I suggest everyone take a few minutes of a break..."

"Rider... What did we witness?" asked Ozpin as he felt like he was actually there yet not.

"What had happened to everyone is somewhat hard to explain... I don't know the full details but... Let's just say that it's best if all of you go back to your rooms... I'll be here." he simply stated as he walked to the area and would stare at the screen.

"U-Um... M-Mr. Rider? A-Are you going to be okay?" asked Ruby as she stared at the omni-potent being.

He looked at her before rubbing her head "don't worry, everything's gonna be okay Rubes... I just need some time is all... I'm... Exhausted, something came up and... Well... It's best if you don't worry about it okay?" he says before he gently pushed her to everyone else.

Soon he was all alone, albeit with hearing the sounds of arguments and threats being muffled.

With a wave of his fingers everything vanished and he was once again in an endless void "damn it... I don't know if I can do this... I'll need to contact the other writers, keepers, archivists and lore-keepers... They can do a better job then me... It's kinda hard to focus on making sure to write everything and keeping an eye on everyone else at the same time... Multi-tasking can be good though rarely. This, is NOT one of those times..."

He sighed as he began to walk in a random direction, humming a tune and soon he too would slowly vanish from the white void leaving only the echoing of his footsteps...

Until...

Everything became silent.


Okay... I'll be honest with all of you.

I CANNOT do a Reaction, at least one of my own stories, I tried and everytime I just end up getting blanks which is why this story is seemingly dying like my other one's.

I feel like I didn't do the reactions enough justice nor did I account for everyone, I'm pretty sure I missed pretty much a LOT of people.

You could tell I kinda just gave up on the reactions near the end, because I started to self-doubt myself on making these reactions to my own story. I don't know if I could write good reactions at all to be frank with you.

So... If anyone WANTS to write the reactions for my stories, then feel free to PM me and we'll talk.

However as of now the whole 'RWBY watches Code Remnant' is either on hold or done, depending on how things go.

In fact I'll do one better.

I'll do a poll in which case you guys can vote whether or not I should continue doing reactions or not.

Since then this is FantasyRider35, signing out.
