I opened my eyes and slowly the blurriness of my sleep wore off. Feeling lazy I just laid there looking at the white ceiling with a part caved in, it seemed familiar. I get up while rubbing my eyes. I looked around and I froze like a deer about to get hit by a truck. I looked around and saw a beaten up black drawer with a TV on top of it that was connected to a console, it was a PS4.

It was my PS4. It had the spill mark right on top of it. I felt like I was dreaming, but it felt so real. I looked at my room and saw every piece remembering every story behind every single thing from the dent above my bed to the stains on the carpet. As I was about to have a minI freak out I get a sweet bread scent. My eyes widen and I turn around and start running through my house to get to the source. As I got to the kitchen I found pancakes being cooked on the stove. I looked at the spatula and followed it to the person wielding it. It was my mother.

Mommy!

She was cooking until she saw me come around the corner and said. "Andres you're finally up you lazy bum. Hurry up and eat. You need to cut the grass before the inspector comes over and gives me a ticket again." She said this every week for me to cut the grass before the inspectors came to judge if it was good enough for a daycare. Is this real? I know almost every dream I get my hopes up, but I just can't help it. I want to believe this is real.

"Mommy!" I said flinging myself at her to hold her, to know she's real and not some figment of my imagination. Even if this is a dream I want to just hold the people I love, it's been way too long.

"Andres. Now that we both know our names you can get to eating." She said sassing me like she so always does.

"Is this real?" I asked hoping it was real. The whole me going to another world that was hell was just a dream, please god I don't want to fight for everything. I just want to be normal and have a normal future and not be the Hero of the worlds.

With a shake of her head she shattered my hope and said. "No, but you can believe it for a while." Believe a lie why. no I deserve this and anybody who agrues against that can go fuck themselves.

I understood what She said and I complied. I looked over to the other side of the kitchen and saw the table that had almost all of my immediate family. I talked with my whole family, my sister, my two brothers and my nephew and no father to be seen. With a grateful smile I played with my nephew, something I wished I could have done more with before the whole crisis, talked to my two older brothers and bantered with my older sister. We talked about my adventure and I cried about how hard the universe has been hitting me from the trauma from the deaths of my friends, my crush, and my enemies. The helplessness I feel when I can't overcome the next big obstacle. Why did it have to be me?, but No matter what I was still going to complete my mission, that doesn't mean I can't release the stress that comes along with said mission. After my cry session we talked about my relationships. My sister and my mother wanted to hear everything about Clover from how I met her from when she kissed me goodbye, and about Violet and Coco. They couldn't stop gossiping about it for an hour. After hours of talking, laughing, and me getting to eat my mom's best cooked food pancakes, I felt at home where I should be, but couldn't.

All of the sudden they all stopped acting like themselves and they just stared at me and said. "It's time Andres you need to go, save us before it's too late." God why couldn't this last.

"Why can't I just stay in here a little longer." I said hoping they would agree, but I felt in my heart or my soul, I needed to go.

"We are the lies you created to help yourself. While a lie for a short time might be helpful. It will never last forever and when it outlives itself it will cause chaos." Huh my logic, they're right I need to go.

"Then later, not a goodbye because I'm coming home I swear." I said with a voice full of resolve. I remembered why I was fighting so hard for my family, for my friends, for the people who don't deserve to become piles of ash because gods want everyone dead. I got up and started walking out.

I walked out of the front of the house where all of our cars were at. I turned around and the sight of my house turned from pristine to destroyed and now rubble, if this is real I'll rebuild my house and with my Thread it'll be easy.

Remembering from my other dreams I looked into the sky to leave the dream and I did. I looked up and saw half of the sky was pitch black and the other side was so brightly white that it blinded you if you looked at it. Guess I think these gods are the ones to govern my planet's destiny, Well not for long.

An eye of the storm opened in between the two opposites and a beam of light shot down onto me and started to lift me up.


As Andres got out of the dream a purple figure stood where he did happy that it helped the kid, after all that kid's going to need it.


"Raven, what do we do, our vehicles are destroyed?" Vernal asks her leader to give her the next task that needs to be done.

"Leave them, we'll walk from here." I say with a stoic face. My village and almost more than half of my family is dead. I would be sad or angry, but I had time and preparation to come to terms with this outcome. Afterall strength comes from seeing the death of your family. The ones who live through yesterday will grow far more than before.

Vernal started getting angry. "How could this happen? We're one of two strongest tribes out there. How did this happen?!" She was pretty much screaming at this point. I know why and I let it happen for two different reasons.

"Because we were too weak, complacency made us weak thinking we were the top of the world, but that child showed us the truth." I said, trying to get my point across, once she understands what I say she will unknowingly spread it throughout the village like a disease, but instead of killing the host it'll nourish it, heal it and make it strong to never let something like this happen again.

"Why aren't you angry, why aren't you furious? He killed almost half of us!" Vernal screamed at me like I was the cause. True, I planned this, but she didn't need to know about it.

I think and say what I believe. "Because this family only takes in the strong and the ones who died were too weak to be with us."

"So when we die you'll just call us weak and abandon us like we we're not once family. What about that fucking kid we need to avenge our family or are you so hypocritical that you'll say you'll kill him, but really let him live." Yes, nothing will ever change my mind about only the strong are our family even if they were once a part of said family.

I had about enough of her rebellious attitude. "Vernal do not speak to me like I don't care. Our rule is the strong survive and the weak die, they were not strong enough to survive a child that came out of the woods. If they were truly family they would have beaten the kid. They died no point crying over spilled milk." I say with a serious tone making my point the head idealism of my village. Yes, Andres was stronger than I thought and he took out about half of my tribe, but that was only because I expected him to come later, not the night I decided to rest from spying on him. He predictably did as I thought, but he was fast to the trigger he came a whole day earlier.

With barely held back rage of how I was not affected by the situation Vernal strained to get out. "So you'll forgive the k….."

Before she could finish her thought I interrupted knowing what she would have said. "I never said Andres wouldn't die. He will someday when we get our strength back and when he won't see it coming." He will either die or join my family.

"Please Raven let me take a couple of our elites and we'll come back with his head. He's already injured and he won't be able to fight back." Vernal said, wanting permission from me. I would give the ok, but he's my second reason. He's my ticket to strength. I've pointed out his blood lust and now he won't be able to ignore it. He will succumb to it's pleasure and once that happens I'll be there with open arms to hold this world's next greatest Warrior. With that type of power on my side nothing will stand in my family's way. Not my misguided brother, not the governments, Not Ozpin, and Not even Salem will be able to control us.

"No, that's an order and you know what happens when you don't follow orders don't you Vernal." I say with absolute authority. If they do go after Andres right now he will most certainly die and I can't let that happen.

"Yes my Queen." Vernal chokes out because of her overwhelming rage. She will only grow stronger from it, she will need it. I feel a storm brewing and I feel Andres will be the epicenter of it.

"Good now go announce to the family we're heading to Vacuo." I said as I planned for my next moves.

"Yes my queen." Vernal said as she left. His bloodlust needs time to evolve and consume him and being around when he's like that will only kill more of my family and it'll keep Ozpins away from checking up on me. Can't let him find out about my new powers too soon.


Day 61 of 720 Before Earth's Death

I wake up shooting out of bed and look around ready to fight anyone, what yesterday I fought a fucking village of bandit, let me be paranoid.

All I found was a room that looked normal and had one widow that let in the sunlight.

Wooooh I survived, Ok equipment, che... wait. Shit, my other weapons I gave them to the prisoners, damn needed to get them back. I looked around and looked outside. The sun was at its highest point so it's around 11AM to 1PM. I need to wake up early after a battle because this is like the third time and I don't like sleeping more than I have to.

Looking around more I see a full body mirror, holy shit it's been months since I saw last myself and fuck did I look fucked up. My clothes had holes and tears on them and my face had way less fat and was more muscular than before my body looked like I was one of those guys that worked out to look good and my hair in the two months I've been here has grown and it was at the middle of my neck, need to cut that soon. I look at the gash on my shoulder and see through the torn shirts that it was still stitched up and it didn't look like it healed that much and I felt my other wounds weren't in great shape and the bruises over my face and body told me I wasn't fully healed. I looked at my most important article of clothing I had, my bandana around my neck got a new tear in it. I left the room and started walking somewhere to see where I was. I know I'm in Konoha, but not where I am.

I enter a hallway and go right. I got to some stairs and I descended slowly as I got to the bottom. I saw the Red haired woman from yesterday cooking some food with her Blonde child next to her trying to grab the food from the hot pan, kid don't mess with hot metal, seriously it fucking brutal.

She heard the footsteps and turned to look at me and said ''Oh you're awake, good. come and eat." She said cheerfully, well I am hungry and I'm like 98% sure I'm in a safe zone.

"Sure." I say walking over and took a seat at their nice table and as I sat down she slides a plate full of meat and a little bit of vegtables over to me, fuck I ain't eating those. I start munching down the meat and tearing the juicy delicacy apart. She sets a glass of milk in front of me, hell yeah for some good bones, gods know I need them strong.

After I finished ¾ of the meat quietly. I hear footsteps from the outside. The doorknob turns and the Blonde guy from Banditville comes in, guess I'm in his home, cool.

He sees me and smiles and says. "Hey you're awake, how are your wounds? You took a beating over there?" Yeah I did, but from attacking a bandit hotspot and all I came out was this I'm pretty sure I got a really good outcome.

"Yeah...I mean they're good, but they still haven't healed that much." I say a little nervous because you know I'm in his house eating his food and he helped me a lot.

"I see, no physical training until they close properly now." He says happily as he sits down at the other side of the table. His smile turned serious and He said. "Can you tell me what happened out there?" Uhh I mean I could tell him a lie about why the bandit kidnapped the kids, but I'm not that type of guy, anyways I'm terrible with lying. So I told him what happened.

After I finished my recollection of what happened he got on the floor on his knees and put his head down onto the floor and said. "Thank you. You saved this village's future generation and you saved my child. I can never repay you for what you did, but what I don't understand is why they came after our village?" While he was talking I thought I heard a couple of sniffs when he was talking so either the blonde guy was sniffing or the mother who left a while ago was, I'm pretty sure it's both of them. If I was him I would be full on crying with gratitude to the person who saved my kid.

His question. I know why, but should I tell him. If I do: I feel better about myself, and might gain some trust, wow that's about it. If I don't: he will probably look more into it even when he doesn't need to, I'll have another reason to hate myself. "I know why." I say making up my mind

"Really, why?" he says surprised while giving me his full attention.

"They wanted me." I said not hiding the truth because fuck that it make way to many problem in the future that I can't predict.

"They wanted you, but why go after my village?" He says confused while getting into his chair.

"When I let the prisoners go, me and the bandit chief had a little bit of a chat and she told me she kidnapped the people to lure me out. She knew that if I learned that kids were being kidnapped I would help and she'd caught me. Well she was right she caught me, but I had a contingency." I said not really liking the reason the kids were kidnapped because someone wanted to get to me.

"Why did she want you?" He was interested in why do all of that to lure just one person.

With disgust I replied. "Because she wanted me to join her family. She said I acted just like her family. I didn't follow the laws and I did what I believed was right." Oops I let out a little too much.

"I see what laws have you not followed." He said with a different tone, one that I couldn't pinpoint what it meant. Oh shit he's probably a cop fuck.

Quickly responding I say. "Saying it like that I sound like I'm a full blown criminal, but the laws I broke are absolutely stupid. The laws against citizens fighting Grimm." I say hoping he can relate to my reasoning.

With a sigh of relief he says. "Yes, the law of Killing Grimm is redundant. Wait where did you come from?" He said the final part with wide eyes.

"Silverkeep?" I said automatically. In realization why he asked that. Shit I think he knows who I am now.

"You were there weren't you, at the attack. You fought back, that's why." He said figuring it all out.

Well there's no point in lying and I feel he won't turn me in. "Yeah I was there on the front lines." I was a little proud of what I did, who wouldn't be.

"Your Ryuu!" He said excitedly that I was him. Fucking Elixir probably gave me that Alias to hide my idetity, no need for that now. Still sounds cool as fuck.

"Oh yeah they called me that." I say a little happily that my Alias is so cool, mighty as a Dragon.

"Wait, some people say you were at Kakariko as well." He said he wanted to know if I was there.

"I was. That day was horrible. I got a scar that will haunt me for the rest of my life." I say knowing that if he had a stick up his ass he would try to turn me in.

"Heh I thought you were a criminal, but you're just a Hero thank you Ryuu for risking your life for our children." He said a little fanboyish, oh that's why he was able to figure it out so fast he's been keeping his eye on whoever seems like Ryuu and from the trajectory of where Ryuu has been Konoha was the next village, smart one this guy.

Feeling a massive amount of pride in myself swell I snuffed it down with my natural humbleness and say. "No problem. Do you know where the Huntsmen that was there with me yesterday is? I need to talk to him about something privately?" I need to go face the puppet of Ozpin and boy do I feel I'm going to get an earful.

"Last I saw him he was at the local inn drinking at their bar." He's drunk, hum, maybe he and I can have a little bar buddy session.

"Thank you, I'm gonna go find him." I say as I get up and start walking out as I'm about to leave.

"You're welcome to stay here until your healed Ryuu." I hear the blonde guy behind me. Oh shit I thought he was going to say something about the vegetable I left.

Wow I got a place to stay until I'm healed enough. "Thanks…..what your name." Oh shut I didn't get his names seriously I need to ask people names now before I get to the important shit.

With a realization he noticed he had not greeted himself yet and said. "Oh Minato Uzumaki, I'm the Mayor of the Village." Uhhhhhhhh. I nod and robotically leave the house because of the massive reveal. I was just in Minato's house. Kushina was there with her blonde child, that was fucking Naruto. Now that I know it's them it kinda makes sense. Images on a 2 dimensional screen look way different in real life so that's why they looked familiar, but I never recognised them. And that one kid I saved must have been Saskue, he didn't act like Sasuke so maybe his brother didn't kill his family. Hopefully none of that bad shit happens in this world.

I've learned from the last villages that even if they looked exactly from the T.V shows from my world it doesn't mean they're going to be as powerful or important and I'm not taking a child with me to go fight the queen of the Grimm.

Holy shit was that a mind radler. Well got to find the Huntsmen. I walked down to the bar, Minato gave me directions before I left. as I walked by people waved and said thank you. Some kids even ran up to me and hugged me and gave me presents, AKA gummy bears wait no, it's gummy Grimm and a Huntsmen action figure. I took all of it even if I didn't want to so it would make them happy so I took the gifts. I ate the gummy Grimm as I walked and stashed the stuff away in my bag. Damn is this bag getting filled fast. I finally get to the bar and I enter. I walk in and everybody looks at me, making me blush.

Nah I fucking with you I just wave and the went back to their things. I looked around and found my target in one of the secluded booths. I walk over, but as I'm about to get there a big buff person stops me and says. "Sorry only V.I….." He was about to finish, but he was interrupted by a groggy voice.

"Let him in, he's the one I was talking about." The Huntsmen says from the booth. He was expecting me, well I've been expecting him before he expected me, beat that.

"Oh sorry sir." The big guy says before scurrying away.

"Sup kid take a seat, we have a lot to talk about." The Huntsmen says nonchalantly. He's a laid back type of guy.

"We do. I know you're not going to take me back to Beacon or you would've done it when I was unconscious. No Ozpin just wants you to keep an eye on me." I say with certainty. Since before I gave CFVY that letter I've been planning for Ozpin's Puppet's arrival.

"Good detective skill kid and yeah you got the jist of it." He said as he took another drink from his glass that smelled like a gin and tonic.

"So what else you want." I say knowing the next topic he wants to talk about.

His non caring attitude turned serious in a second and He said. "I want to know why an inexperienced child like you just ran straight into enemy lines without backup and thought you could just fight them off. Are you brain dead? It was more than 100 bandits and you made it on their shit list. You got lucky, if me or the villager weren't there at that second they needed to be you would have been dead." I get what he's saying after all I go through every possible outcome that could have happened when I have time to think and most of them end with me dead.

"It was a terrible decision on my part, but I had no one to come and fight with me so I soloed it and I wasn't about to wait because that place they were about to tourture the prisoners and the one they went for was a kid. If I knew that I would die when I did it, I would've done it again. I won't just let people around me get hurt like that without me trying something. I'm alive with all of my limbs and I can still fight so I came out of it alright thanks to you and the villagers." I said I wanted him to understand I knew I could have died, but I was fine with that if I'm not willing to die for the people now when I will be able to do it when the shit gets worse.

"Yeah without me you would have died during your fight with Raven." He said annoyed, accepting what I said. Raven, that was Chief Bitch, she was strong, fast, and she adapted to everything I did. I might have been close to her same power and speed field, but on the skill compared she would win by a mile.

"True, now that was your sister." I remember her saying brother to him.

"Yeah." He said with a frown. It wasn't directed at me, but at something else probably Raven.

"You were in that Tribe." I said piecing together everything. If he's her brother that means at some point he was a part of those bandits, or maybe I'm wrong.

"I was back then when there were just a dozen of us, but I left and I chose the Huntsmen way." He said. Guess he was with the bandits. Well I sure as hell can't beat him in a fight and I understand not wanting to be around people who will make you do horrific things. Also he redeemed himself by choosing a path that typically means saving the weak and the innocent.

"Your sister didn't do the same." I said as a statement.

"No she did, but that didn't last so now she's Chief Bandit." So she was a Huntsmen too, but turned bandit. Either she's a natural evil which I don't believe, or she only cares about herself and her family, or she has a plan to do something disastrous.

"She's moving up in the world." I say in a joking manner. Wait his name I still don't know his name. "What's your name?"

"Qrow" He says

Qrow, you're serious he was named after a bird that supposedly gives bad luck. "Really Qrow, it sounds like a crow. You know a funny story. I'm pretty sure I was shit talking some crow while I was coming over here, was that you." I said in a joking tone. I don't get to have fun that much anymore so I'll take whatever I can get.

"No of course not a Human can't be a crow!" He said incredibly skittishly and suspiciously. His face started to go pale and he looked away to the hot barkeep

Still not picking up on the obvious signs I say. "Calm down it was a joke." then I saw he face he looked like he was just caught in a lie, you got to be fucking serious. "Wait a minute why'd you freak out?"

"No reason." He says nervously. Holy shit he was that crow.

"You are that crow, how long have you been following me." I said surprised. So he knows where I've been the whole time. Dammit he outmaneuvered me!

"First off I'm not a crow, but I've been following you for a couple of days." He says the first part pretty much trying to lie, but no and he's only been following a couple of days that are impossible, he's lying to me. Also I held this fucker in my hands and yelled at him when I was drunk. He's the one who drank all of my whiskey that time!

"Couple of days that make no sense unless. You sister that has the same Semblance by hereditary and can turn into….a Raven, wow real original." I say figuring it out I get unimpressed fast. The Qrow turns into a crow and Raven turns into a raven, but what about her opening portals maybe that was someones elses Semblance it could've been I didn't know where they were.

"She's been following you?" Qrow says curiously.

"Yeah She said since pretty much day one." I said angry I never saw the fucking Raven following me.

"Wow she really wanted you." He said, wiggling his eyebrows. I'm going to ignore that because I don't want to think about what would have happened if she did make me join.

"Ehh don't care, she kidnapped kids. That's one of the many things I would get angry at anyone if they do it and she just expected me to join her. the fucks wrong with that bitch."

"Yeah she's gone off the deep end. So how's our traveling method going to be?" Qrow said getting to the point. Yes I have another blunt person.

"I got this. I've been thinking about this one since I first gave Team CFVY that letter. I will travel like I normally do fighting every Grimm along the way, and training, you don't get involved unless I'm about to get killed or you start getting attacked too. Also if you want to you can train me so I can survive better it'll make your job easier." I want to convince him. What I have is an actual Huntsmen which I'm pretty sure is the same level as the bandit chief. If he teaches me I'll only grow even further.

"So you pretty much want me to be a helicopter parent and a glorified teacher." He says taking another sip of his drink.

"Yes, I'll be leaving in 3 days so be prepared by then." I said, wanting to get out of here as soon as possible. one last trek and I will finally be at my goal, well the first step to my goal. Just this last Town and I'm at Mount Helios and I'll have the Dragon weapon which from Paarthurnax word He said it will give me a fraction of his power.

"Kid, I'm always prepared." He said with a cocky grin. I like this guy, too bad he's Ozpin's puppet, maybe and this is a big maybe that I could get him on my side.

I walked out of the bar leaving Qrow and walked around the town to get a little familiar with it.

Konoha wasn't like Kakariko. It didn't have all of the latest technology or Silverkeep which was filled with machines that looked like they worked too often, no Konoha was lively, kids ran around playing games, old people stayed outside and watched their grandchildren. The road was just dirt that's been walked on so much that it was as solid as concrete. They still had cars but they looked used, the atmosphere of the town was of Authentic. I took a good 30 minutes just walking to the main gate. As I get to the gate one guard sees me and waves me over. As I got closer I saw he was the one from Banditville. He was the one telling me I was a liar and such. The surprising thing was that he apologized for his accusation yesterday and gave me a Sweetroll and told me it was from a shipment from a town over, huh guess Humanity has a chance after all.

To get a good view I walked up stairs to get to the top of one of the watchtowers to see Konoha. As I get to the top I see a view that I won't forget.

All the way at the opposite side of the village was a massive mountain that didn't have faces, dammit I thought those would exist. Underneath the mountain was a big red building, that's Hokage's place. I wonder who is the boss right now. I mean it could be Minato, but that old guy could still be kicking.

Under the Hokages building were just a sea of homes. The Village span at least 14 miles wide and at least 18 miles length that went to the mountain and the mountain gave the village a natural barrier from the Grimm. The place was massive and it looked self dependent. They had everything farms to the west inside the city and outside of it. To the south was the marketing plaza where the stores were and in the middle there were schools surrounded with homes. This place didn't rely on the kingdom to live; it was independent, that is awesome. I kept looking at the view for a few more minutes appreciating the way of life here, it was peaceful. One of the guards sees me and just looks at me while I'm being taken by the sight and shakes his head and mutters something, eh like I care what other people think. I like the view so I'll look at it.

I leave the guard tower and go to the market plaza to find a Dust store. I went to the store and restocked. I walked in and I got my supplies replenished. I also got a quick history book about Vale and some extra Dust so I can experiment with it.

The Monks while I was at the monastery told me to experiment and find ways to combine Dust to create Dust that will only help me in the future.

My wounds are still healing up and normally a laceration like this heals up in 7 to 10 weeks divided by Aura's healing factor that makes it 1 to 4 weeks, yeah Aura heals that quickly I've checked. And if I add healing Dust to that equation I'll be ready to go in three to five days, hopefully. I set the capacitor at 9 and put it in my mouth and swallow. Throughout my entire body I felt pain, but the wounds that were still healing were the most painful and burned with intensity, mostly the shoulder wound. I ignored the pain to the best of my ability and got to my training.

I walked back thinking about who still has my weapons because the village militia probably took it and is keeping it safe. I'll go get them soon so I start heading to Minato's house. I didn't realise it, but his house was beautiful with a shade of orange with a Naruto style written all over it. I walked in and told him my plan. He told me if I wanted to train in his backyard it was fine. So I went to train in his backyard.

I can't do anything athletic because of the chance at opening my wounds and I'm pretty sure nothing related to my Semblance because yesterday I used it so much, I mean every fight I was in over there I used my Thread. I summoned my Thread and they flailing around like noodles, they were keeping a firm strength for a second before it went.

No Semblance, so Aura training. I get in the middle of the backyard and I start focusing my Aura into my head then to my toes over and over to get more fluent with my Aura. It was like if my body had a vein that let Aura flow through them, but inside the veins there's dirt or something clogging the veins from letting Aura move to it's best ability so the more the Aura flows through the veins the more it unclogs. It was repetitive, but it felt good to do because you improve from the effort you put into it.

As I keep this up my focus slips and I accidentally don't catch my Aura at my feet so my Aura just goes into the ground. From instinct, like when you don't catch a ball, I went for it. Instead of me going for it my Aura does. My distangled Aura and my Aura combine again, but as the connection was made I had a massive amount of information come into my head like my Aura had a memory of it's own. It was just dirt, but I could clearly see it all from the grains of dirt to my foot slowly digging it's way into the ground making an imprint. I pulled it back and I felt my Aura complete itself again.

Holy shit what was that. I connected my Aura when it already separated. With that one thought ideas and ideas came at me like a tsunami. I smile like a psycho, Wow I think I know what this means if my hypothesis is right I feel a new different type of power up is coming.


"Later Clover, Azule!" Ruby yells while waving goodbye to her new friends. She and her teammates were leaving Kakariko to get back to Beacon and resume classes. Team RWBY waved goodbye to the Mayor and Clover as the walked into the bullhead

"See you later kids!" Clover said with a smile. Over the past 2 weeks they actually got somewhat buddy buddy with Clover not for information just because if you look past her misdeeds you'll find a decent person.

"Goodbye future huntresses!" Azules says with a jolly attitude, god it turns out he's brother.

The door to the Bullhead closed and Weiss spoke up annoyed. "So nothing, no criminal activity or White Fang sightings. This was a waste of time."

"No Weiss it was worth it. We meet a butt load of people that are getting ready to fight against the White Fang." Ruby said seeing the positive side of the situation."

"Yeah that's good to know, but we still don't know the White Fangs next move." Blake said still annoyed that no White Fang members were still around.

"Yeah we don't, but that doesn't mean we should just wait sitting on our asses for them to knock at our door. When we get back, let's get some of the teachers to train us personally." Yang said confidently. She's changed a bit since Clover and her partner defeat them in seconds. A flame in her soul was lit and she wanted her team to join in on it.

"That would make us better prepared when the White Fang peek out of their hole again." Weiss said seeing the benefit if they do that.

"Then Team RWBY let's get to training." Ruby says happy to get better with her Crescent Rose.

"You heard the leader, time to get a swole!" Yang saw getting happy to train more with her team.

"Hey Ruby." Weiss says a little quietly.

"Yeah Weiss." Ruby responds.

"Do we tell Ozpin of Clover's action?" Weiss says while Blake across the bullhead hears this and walks over to enter the conversation.

Ruby thought about it for a while then said. "...No." This got the attention of Yang who looked happy her sister didn't always do as she is told.

Yang starts to hug Ruby and says. "Wow my little sister is getting rebellious."

"No, it's just ever since Andres pointed out how Ozpin manipulates us. I've been getting a bad feeling about him." Ruby says giving her reasons to her trusted teammates.

"Then we don't tell him, I don't trust him and neither should you guys." Blake says bluntly to Weiss and Yang because her and Ruby didn't trust Ozpin while Yang and Weiss are on the iffy side.

"He hasn't been manipulating us though." Weiss said calmly.

"He hasn't recently because we're all suspicious of him and he gave us advice to gain some trust back haven't you guys thought of that?" Blake says really not wanting to let them trust their Headmaster. Since Andres told her Ozpin was manipulative the more she noticed it. He'd give kids advice and often they would follow it and almost never have I heard some say his advice was stupid. They did as He said because he was at the pinnacle of what we're striving for and all he had to do was tell us to do something and we would do it.

"He could be doing that, but that's a major if." Weiss said keeping an open mind the world is always more complicated than he's a manipulator don't trust him.

"Guys we don't tell Ozpin or anyone else, not even JNPR." Ruby said with complete seriousness.

"Good I don't want Jaune to believe we have another thing in common." Weiss says going along with her leader's plan. Also since all of the events around Andres have been happening they decided to not tell them because of how angry Pyrrah would be at Andres and she's not someone you want to piss off. Also jaune he's been a pain in the a...I mean just a pain he stopped asking Weiss out everyday, but he still tries to flirt with her and it just makes her so angry.

"Why don't you give him a chance?" Yang pretty much acting as Jaunes wingman.

"Because if I am going to go out with someone I want to be comfortable around them not annoyed." Weiss said, Jaune might be a nice guy, but his first impression for her was terrible and he keeps pestering her with going on a date with him. She might be bias, but once he stops acting like an animal in heat she might think about it, but right now whenever she's around him she just gets uncomfortable and angry.

"Still haven't given him a chance." Yang said sheepishly.


Day 62 of 720 Before Earth's Death

For the first day it's been smooth sailing. My body wounds are scabbed up and now they started to really heal, but I do feel the phantom pains from my two major wounds and the muscle aches I feel everyday from training. Also a group of people came to me when I was training in the afternoon and told me they were grateful for what I did for them and their families, they were the hostages at Banditville. Turns out most of them are from other villages not just from here and they told me that they're going back to their own villages soon. Good they all will make it back home. I decided to stop training that day and just talk with people, it's something I don't do often enough.

From afternoon to sunset we talked. They told me that the village is a tough village, they had to be when you're nowhere near civilization. They were strong and if I didn't save the prisoner the whole village would have. They believe so much in the whole concept of family they believe the whole village is their family. Coincidentally the bandit said the same thing.

The villagers listen to me recollect the talk I had with the chief and her statement that her family is her tribe, but her family has to be strong.

They were disgusted by her logic and spat at her name. They told me that they were the Branwen Tribe's, they were the strongest, most fearsome tribe out there and I drove them off, huh I'm getting up there on the food chain slowly, but surely.

I told them it wasn't just me that fought against them, but Qrow as well, they said they'll thank him too later. We talked and talked and right before it was sunset one of the kids said innocently. "What happened to the bandits? Did you put them in jail?" My eyes go wide in surprise. The villagers didn't tell them what happened. I looked over to the older villagers, but they were having a discussion by themselves.

Without anymore thought I say quietly from my own shame. "I k…. I killed them." Maybe I shouldn't have said it, but I wasn't about to lie about what I did. Hopefully they take it well.

"But why their people, you should have put them in prison, you're a Huntsmen." One of the older kids said a little angry at me. Why is he angry at me, it's not my fault they were bandits who kidnapped kids.

"..." I didn't respond, my mind filled with arguments why I did it. I gave myself every excuse to validate my action to make what I did right. As I self mouthed myself the kids looked at me disappointadley for many different reasons and left to not be around a murder.

As I kept thinking about what Raven said the more it made sense and as I was thinking the older people saw the interaction that accrued and came to me and said. "We understand why you had to do it. They were dangerous beyond belief and you did what you had to, to survive and protect us. You might see youself as a murder now, but know a murder kills for the sensation a Warrior kills for what they believe in and for a cause greater than himself." An old man says giving me some good old wisdom.

I rebudled that. "But some of them I just killed out of hatred and the fucking hunger to just kill." I killed and not just that I eviscerated their bodies, some are now in chunks and just puddles of blood. I am a murder, I'm worst than ted Bundy he kill 30 or more people and do you know how many I've killed since I came here…. Fucking 52 I've been counting and every single one has been weighing me down. That might not sound like much, but imaging 52 people in a room.

"You might have, but you controlled it. You killed the one who deserves it and you did it to protect us." An old lady says trying to make me happy.

"I just wish things would have gone a different route. I could have captured them without killing." At the moment I wanted all of them dead, but now after what I did 43 of them I saw my wrong doing. They were terrible people maybe, but did they deserve that.

"Hey you did your best and sometimes your best doesn't satisfy you, but you have to get over that. The outcome could have been better, but you're only Human, you're not perfect so don't beat yourself up over it." An old man says, trying to make me see sense. He's right I am just some Human. I'm not some bullshit protagonist that can solve the world's problems. I'm just some kid trying to save his planet. I'm not special, the world doesn't revolve around me or my problems.

"Thanks." I am really grateful for their words.

"No problem youngster." An old man says as they start saying their goodbyes. Now they're gone I could really think this out.

While I still believe in my former philosophy to destroy the problem now instead of just letting in lingerie. It's just when you apply that to my journey that means to kill and destroy people. It feels disgusting, but I can't let me not wanting to kill a couple of bandit's get in the way. I need to live and not die to finish this quest. "I'll do what must be done." My bloodlust might take me over someday, but as long as I reach my goal without innocents killed I'm good with it. No enemy is safe around me I'm no fucking Batman or Superman, I won't let the villains live for them to escape and cause trouble in the future no. I'll kill them and keep going. I might hate myself, but it needs to be done. I still have lines I will never cross, sorry Earth if those ever emerge, also the justice league would be all over my ass if they heard what I did yesterday. Bunch hippies. I'll become a monster if I need to.


Day 63 of 720 Before Earth's Death

I grab an empty dull gray Dust crystal and start my experiment. As I started I felt a pain in my chest then it started to spread throughout my body. It wasn't normal pain, it was like the life force was being forced out of my body. Maybe I should stop. As I kept this up, red veils started popping out of my skin, they were veins. It was like energy. The crystal started to slowly turn red. ok gonna stop now.

As I was about to stop I heard "Andres No!" I turn my head slowly from the pain and I see Minato in front of me and then he hits the empty Dust crystal out of my hands. The red veils disappeared when I stopped holding the now gray crystal.

"Wow what just happened." I said having a little blackout.

"Andres, listen to me you cannot do that again I don't know how good you are at Aura manipulation, but you can't do that you'll die if you keep going!" Minato said with complete seriousness.

"Kinda figured that 10 seconds in, thanks by the way." I said happy he knocked it out of my hands. Yeah that fucking hurt, didn't expect that. It kinda felt like a piece of my soul was being pulled out by my own hands, weird.

"No problem. You ain't gonna do that again right?" He said a little worried.

"Nah no point of it if it kills me." I say really their is no point if it if it just kills you before it becomes useful, well this new power up is getting shut down dammit and it could have made me last way longer in a fight.

I watch Minato leave to go back into his house. "That was pretty dumb of you." I hear out of nowhere. He's back finally it's been a while.

"Paarthurnax your back and why didn't you stop me." It would be way too convenient if he just got here.

"I wanted to see you fuck up again." Wow ain't that fucking music to my ears.

"So how was the talk with the monk?" I ask wanting to keep improving my techniques and I really hope we even have a chance.

"He wasn't that specific, but He said to quote "Will to fight, to live is the Will of life, could be destroyed by God's, but if Will Strong, Gods can't stop." Great the monk speaks caveman and we're listening to him, great.

"So Will is our weapon against gods." I say kinda expecting that. So my Will, my motivation to keep moving forward, my need to save my world would be my weapon against Gods.

"Yes it is. I see your injured in another life and death battle." He said snarky, he can go screw himself. I need to fight and bleed for all of my strength. He just got it because he was the son of the last Dragon king.

"Yup so I was wondering why don't you just attack the Witch." I ask because it been on my mind ever since I was told of Gods. It doesn't make sense why not have one of your weaker Dragons come here and attack the Witch while he gets ready to attack, but the gods would know the Dragons betrayed them, hmmm this is complicated.

"I thought of that long ago, but went against it. To make a portal is energy consuming and I need to attack the Gods at full power the second they are at their most vulnerable so I have a chance at winning. There are so many flaws in the plan I decided to throw it away." That's true when an enemy doesn't know you'll strike they're at their weakest, for example Banditville 43 dead because they felt safe around their "Family".

"Why don't you just send your weakest Dragon to attack the Witch." I said giving ideas, I want to see if I missed anything.

"My race doesn't know about what I'm doing." He says.

"They don't?" I say surprised why don't they know their in the fight as well.

"No they have an idea, but none look into it because I told them. If they knew there could be a snitch that could get the Gods attention. Also if a Dragon is on this planet for too long the Gods will notice and come to investigate and my surprise attack will fail."

"Wow they really listen to you and what do you mean, why do they have an eye on this planet, why is it so special you haven't attacked it with your army yet." The idea popped into my head. I'm on a planet that the Gods know about and the Dragons haven't destroyed it.

"Yes they do and because the gods have an attachment with this planet, I don't know why, but they do." Another mystery I wonder is why are these Gods even killing the universe for.

"That's not insightful, so good news I'm close to getting your Scale forged." I say really happy. It's been a drag of the 2 months training my body to it's limit's everyday and getting involved with major events is just bad. Finally I'm at the next step of my deal now when I got the power I can go attack the Witch.

"Yes, soon you'll be on the first step to actually accomplish what so many others haven't." That's an ego boost. With how much everybody keeps saying I'm special I should have become egotistical, but I won't let myself, I have no time to look at myself like I'm amazing, no it's time to train or do something to get closer to my goal, no time to brag about myself.

"Yeah I'm getting closer to my goal so what's been happening over on Earth?" I say hopefully that they are not destroying each other over another little problem.

"You're not going to like it. The planet has started to militarize it's society, making every able person to fight back against the Dragons." I saw that coming a mile away. It's just I hoped they wouldn't do that.

"Is there tension between Counties?" I say hoping the world stops with the petty shit and looks at the threat in front of them, the Dragons.

"No, there has been a temporary alliance for the future." Woooh that's relieving I thought my world would still be arguing about anything.

"Tell me even if my whole world fights back against you at their best it won't do much will it." I say knowing the answer.

"No they will just die trying to fight against an almost unbeatable foe." That was cocky, but I'm pretty sure what he's saying is true.

"So my world's forcing people to fight even when they don't want to." I say guessing because you know drafts and such.

"Yes, some outright said no and they've been imprisoned. The children are being taught the truth of what happened. Your world as you know it is gone. There's no more school, hanging out with friends, having birthdays. It's just training to use a gun and building hundreds to thousands of outposts throughout the world." So they're forcing people to fight in a battle that they will lose. Dammit if they keep it up when I finish my deal my world would just be military lifestyle. I get it, but my world saw the power Paarthurnax army had. I only killed that Dragon because I got lucky and even Paarthurnax said before they destroyed most of the military outposts throughout the world in a single hour. I know if they didn't militarize the world people would riot, anarchy will ensue and they'll kill themselves. It's just why can't they just live their lives the way they want and not force people to do as they say? Really I'm the only chance my world has at living and what my worlds attempt are just futile. They're just wasting the little amount of time they have if I do fail this. It's best to know when you are defeated and just live the happiest you can before death comes for you.

"Dammit, Paarthurnax please I'm begging you. Can you take me back ho…." I want so badly to go back home and tell the world to not force everyone to fight and let them live their lives because even if the world fights back they will still lose, they'll lose the time I'm buying them.

"No you made a deal, you will hunt the Witch." He said with seriousness.

"What point is the deal if my world loses it's soul." I said angrily what happens when my world stops being itself. Instead of being the diverse people we are, we become solely Warriors that will fight and only just train to die inevitably. At that point why even try? I'm trying to save my world, not a new one that wants every person ready for War and ready to force everyone to fight with them even if they don't want to.

"Uhhh…..Tell you what Andres, if there is a major event on earth that could destroy it I will teleport you home. I'm sorry I'm harsh, but if I keep opening wormholes the Gods will start to notice." Thank god if they need me I'll be there, hopefully nothing will.

"Thank you Paarthurnax." I said with gratitude.

"No problem Ryuu." He said mockingly. Eh he's just jealous that I have a way better nam….ok our names are pretty much equally cool. I hope my world can go back to normal when I finish all of this.


Day 65 of 720 Before Earths Death

It's been two day and I feel better both emotionally and physically. Oh yeah good news a wonderful old lady came by yesterday and taught me to sew and did it help my clothes tears and holes were all filled or covered up, but i didn't use it on my bandana because I'm still new to it I'll fix it when I'm way better to not ruin it. I've gotten prepared to travel while getting me an emergency bottle of liquor if I need it. In my training nothing special happened, except those two things and my wounds healed up. I think I have more days to finish up the scarring process, but I like keeping to my schedule. When I was here I didn't talk to Minato, Kushina, or Naruto too much. I don't know why it's just they're not my crowd of people. I was getting ready to leave when Minato walked in.

"Hey Andres I want to thank you again for what you did, many don't agree with the means, but the results were worth it and again we all truly appreciate what you did for this village." He said bowing with respect.

He needed to know after all I'll need an army if I plan to go after this Witch and I'm pretty sure this man could be one of the main reasons I could have one. "Your welcome, also Minato, listen and tell no one, a War will happen soon between Humans and Grimm, it will be far worse than it is right now. I don't know when or where, but it will happen, you need to prepare your village or it will fall." I say wanting him to be ready to fight back when needed, wow I'm a fucking manipulater I'm become just like Ozp….no I'll never be like him.

Minato listened with seriousness, soaking in every word. "Thanks for the Warning Andres." He said, understanding the Warning.

"No problem I should get going, I have a mission." I say with happiness. It's been so long that my determination started paying off. I'm so close to the power that could save my people just in one last trip.

"Andres you're welcome in Konoha anytime." Minato said. Hey I might take him up on that offer.

"Thanks again." I say walking out of his house and headed to the gates to Konoha.

I exited the house fully ready for the wildlife again. I would have asked for a vehicle, but from what Elixir said they won't allow it. As I walked to the gate people waved me goodbye, thanks Konoha. As I got to the gate a massive group of people came out of the alley and ran at me.

They tackled me hard, but not painfully. I looked at who they were and it was the hostages. Every Single one of them came to say goodbye. I hugged every single one of them and said my goodbye. As I was about to finish there were two kids waiting, Saskue and Naruto. "Hey Ryuu, thanks for saving our butts, hope I see you again." Naruto says happily, hope this kid has a good life and they don't deserve what this world gives out. "Goodbye Ryuu, stay safe." Saskue says. I like the Sasuke way more than the other fake one.

"Both of you I will." I say agreeing with them. I'll probably come back at some point.

I walk out of the Konoha and when I get to the forest I look around for Qrow. Asshole better show up. "Finally you just had to do the whole dramatic exit didn't you." I hear behind me, fuck is he sneaky then again he's a bird.

"I wasn't about to deny them that." I said what's the worst when you want to give someone your gratitude and they just leave out of nowhere.

"Ahh let's get moving." He said. Slumped over.

"Yeah let's." I say while walking in front of him.


Day 66 of 720 Before Earth's Death

A day into traveling we made some good progress and no issues, just normal me training with Grimm. We got ready to set up camp and Qrow spoke up for the first time the whole day, yeah he's real quiet that's kinda why I like him, no noise. "Kid why didn't you stay at the Beacon?" Why didn't I stay at the Beacon well theirs multiple reasons.

Annoyed that he keeps calling me kid, I say. "The names Andres and I didn't trust Ozpin." The real reason why I didn't stay there at Beacon.

"Why, Ozpin's a good man?" You might think that, but what I see is a man who puppeteers people to get to his goal.

"Feeling in my gut told me not to trust him and I follow my gut. It's the reason I'm even alive." It's true if I didn't listen to my gut the Dovoca would have killed me way before all of this.

"You know your journey could have been so much easier if you stayed at Beacon. We have teachers that could have trained you." He said telling me what resource that are at Beacon, Ehh I didn't need them and anyway it the best that I went on my own I learned a lot and I'm pretty sure if I wasn't at Kakariko and Silverkeep they would have been destroyed so you know I feel like I picked the right path

"I'm not that good at verbal learning, I learn my best when I'm under pressure and Beacon was like a prison the second I woke up their it reminded me that I'm all alone in this world and I didn't know this world I couldn't take the chance that I landed in a school of murderers or vampires." I said because of my paranoia. I didn't know what type of world I was being sent to so you know best to stick to your own until you figure out the rules of the world.

"I get your point." He said agreeing, didn't expect him to agree, but he did grow up with bandit's so you know his philosophy might be different than others.

"So why do you trust Ozpin?" I asked because if I want Qrow on my side I need to know what Ozpin is offering.

"Ozpin gave me a home, he trained me and he's been a good friend, the best I could have asked for." Damn I pretty sure I can't beat that fuck. Well, operation bring Qrow to my side failed.

I mean might as well keep trying. "That's good, but don't you ever think he's manipu….."

He interrupted me and said with full conviction. "No he isn't, you're just like Raven you just expect Ozpin's a manipulator, but he's a good man who wants to give this world a chance at peace." I mean I do listen to my gut, but could it be wrong this one time I mean Ozpin hasn't shown any actual menace except for trying to keep me in his school. No listening to your gut, it has kept me alive.

"... So switching topics, do you know why I'm even out here." I said switching the tone from serious to kinda joking. Don't want the guy who's my bodyguard to betray me and kick me to the Beowolves.

With a shake of his head He said. "Nope, Ozpin just told me to keep an eye on you." Guess Ozpin doesn't know about Mount Helios, good I have to stay a step ahead of him. Qrow started to drink from his flask.

"Cool so I'm heading to a specific place and when I finish up there I'm going after the Witch." I say giving him little information about my plan.

The second he heard what I said he spit out his drink and coughed for a couple of seconds, after a couple of seconds He said. "What?!" I don't know why he looks like he's freaking out shouldn't he be happy? I'm going after this world big bad guy.

"That's the whole point I'm here and the Witch is my target." I say with conviction.

"Kid Oz and me have been trying to get anywhere near her our whole lives, but every time we get to the Grimmlands we get pushed out before we could even get close." He said giving me some information. So Ozpin is against this Witch, and she's in the Grimmlands.

Then again this world's armies are weak. I kill at least a 100 Grimm a day and at most 300, most of them are young Grimm and like 3% are actually tough. I thought literal armies could at least hold off a couple million Grimm by themselves. "Damn is this world's armies weak." I said with disappointment.

"Armies? they weren't there." He said, confused. Wait why not.

"What, then who was there." Please don't tell me, I'm pretty sure what this is all about.

"A couple of us." He said sadly, fuck I knew it, I fucking knew it. This world ever since I came here I never heard anyone say anything about the Witch except Paarthurnax and the only ones who know of her are Ozpin and his puppets. He's having a fucking War in the Shadows and the result of it will change the whole world.

"So this world doesn't know of the Witch." I said figuring it out.

"No they don't." He said

"But why?" I say because I want to hear their excuse for not making it common knowledge.

"This is a War that must be kept from the people or they will fear and that will attract the Grimm like a fly to a fly zapper." He said like it was true. Fear No that not the reason the Grimm would come no they would come for another emotion one way more Angrier.

"So you're fighting the most evil person on this planet and you're not telling the world." I said with anger. So many times I have seen this scenario in comic books and movies, but this isn't a movie, this is reality and people's lives are actually in danger because he and Ozpin want to keep things to themselves.

"This isn't their War." He said like it was the truth. Like hell it wasn't.

"It is, but you're keeping it away from them. Their very lives are decided on this Shadow War, they have every right to know and they will fear, like hell they would. The Humanity I know wouldn't fear, no they will get angry and want blood. Every death that has happened to people is because of the Witch. People's friends, family, spouses, Children all of them have been taken from by the Grimm and the Leader that commands them." I said yelling at him. I hate secrets, now I remember why I don't fucking trust Ozpin, it him and his secrets.

"It's more complicated than that." He said like what I was saying was nonsense.

"Like hell it is." I said pissed.

"Kid shut up already, I gotta go piss." He said angrily back.

He's an agent of Ozpin, which means I can't trust him yet. He walks around a huge rock out of sight.

It seems a little disgusting, but I need to know what he's doing over there. Time to use it. I pour half of my Aura into the ground and make it spread in a hundred foot diameter of me. As they hit my length I told it to go I sucked all of it back in, most of it came back, but some was lost, but it was worth it. My new move Radar Pulse I just have my Aura go into a surface and anything touching it I can tell who they are and every detail that have, very useful. I had a similar technique using Thread, but it wasn't that useful, but this new one is really good. As I close my eyes to listen to the Aura that reconnected with me. Qrow. Pulled out a scroll and started a face chat with someone, I know who it is.

Without a second thought I walk over. I turn the corner and Qrow sees me with wide eyes.

I walked over and summoned a single Thread and grabbed the scroll out of Qrows hand and made it face me so I could see the man who couldn't chain me down and say with venom. "Ozpin it's been a while."

Ozpin saw me and was surprised for a second, but got his stoticly annoying face back up and said. "Andres, I'll have you know you left my school unattended, that's against our rules." Fuck your rules.

"Eh I don't go to your school anyway." I say it with clenched teeth showing how pissed off I am.

"So what is your next move?" He said wanting to know how to outmaneuver me.

"Get what I came here for and after that I'm going to attack the Witch." I say with complete seriousness.

Ozpin's blank face broke and he looked paler and said in a frantic voice. "Wait why so soon, you're not skilled enough and you have no idea where she is. You can't please." He finished like he was begging. He's begging why, I want to know why I'm so important.

"Somewhere in the Grimmlands and why shouldn't I." I say, showing off my listening skill as I look over to an annoyed Qrow. Fucker gave me the location on accident.

I look back at Ozpin as he collected himself and with a stern voice like it would control me He said. "Because in this Shadow War you'll be the most important part and if you try to go for the Witch right off the bat you'll die for no reason." Is that it then why keep the world in the dark, why not have every person attack this bitch and end the Grimm threat.

"Your argument is weak, you better make a better one before I make my final decision." I said putting pressure on him. I want the reason why he's so focused on me going after the Witch….also I want to see him squeal.

He lost his cool and started to yell with rage and anger. "Listen child, you're the only chance I have at winning my War I…" while he was talking I heard a bit of fear, one of him failing his goal. His War like hell I'm not you puppet Ozpin.

"Your War, no you don't understand this….. You see this just turned my War. I don't fucking trust you or your plans and I'm not your puppet you can control him, but not me. Once I get strong enough I'm going for the Witch and I'm going to kill her." I say with rage that an egg could boil off of.

"You don't understand….." He said with anger still in his voice, but was ignored.

"Here I'm done talking to him." I say while tossing Qrow his scroll back. Qrow looked just surprised how I was talking to Ozpin.

I walked back to my bed and got ready to sleep. It took an hour for Qrow to come back to the camp and he looked pissed. That night no more words were spoken, just the way I like it.
