A man sat in silence in his temporary base alone in his quarters. He felt sadness that his friend was gone and taken from him and his revolution.

Maybe it's for the best. Oliver was an incredible friend, Soldier, and rock to my morality. He stopped me countless times from going too far because he didn't see it fit.

He was aggressive with his actions, but he never wanted genocide and I'm sure at the end he would become a enemy, for his morality would make it so.

Now that my Rock is gone I'm free to do as I want. Instead of just destroying facilities that hold my people now it's time to kill the silent "Innocent". Because of these fakes that "Support" Faunus keep my people in chains, but not anymore. Now I lost both of the most important people in my life, nothing is holding me back.

On that day one man was happy his servitude was over and the other would become the monster everybody thought he would become. The Man was there no longer, only a Monster remained.

Yatsuhashi walked in with a smile I never thought he could express. "You look happy, good because Glynda is pissed you missed the whole day of classes. How was your pow wow?" I said really happy that Yatsuhashi got to talk to his brother.

"It was overwhelming and a wonderful experience, he's in Whiterun's prison so I'll be going there in a few months to see him." He said a little disheartened.

"Prison, what happened?" Velvet said, surprised by the sudden turn of events.

"Yes, he had done terrible things." With that he told us more in depth of his past and Oliver's transgressions.

In the top of the tower a couple hundred feet away two individuals that controlled the World secretly were having a very important meeting. "Ozpin, we need to tell him or he'll go straight to her." She said wanting to convince her stubborn friend.

"Glynda he's not that stupid, yes he's grown much stronger, but he won't head straight for her." I said not seeing that possibility.

"Ozpin, did you see his eyes when he first met you. He was emotional and irrational and now he has the power he's been striving for, he will go to her because he made his first step to his goal. He won't be thinking properly." Glynda said wanting me not to make the same mistake again.

"Maybe….that look he gave when we met was …...startling." I knew from day one he was the key to my goal, but if let out of control he would be my enemy.

She's right I need him back so I can start indoctrinating him. "Maybe you're right, it's just he's a wildcard, he doesn't care about the delicate balance we created so this World doesn't collapse on itself."

Glynda knew the risks of telling a child of this World's greatest secrets. "It's a chance we have to take, he's the only way to win this War." She said knowing their one chance at victory was worth it. They both agreed and started to contact Qrow to inform the rebellious child.

In the Beacon Gym Team RWBY and Team JNPR just finished their team match. JNPR was on the defensive thanks to RWBY's incredible teamwork, but RWBY still lost because of Pyrrha's almost perfect offensive and defensive fighting style.

"Dammit, I felt we almost had you." Ruby said, rubbing her hurting head. They fought for a good 15 minutes and damn was it tiring.

Pyrrha put an ice baggie on Ruby's head to help it and said. "You were close if I didn't dodge your team moves I would have lost in the first five minutes." RWBY felt a bit better knowing that, but remembered that Pyrrha was too nice to really give the cold hard truth.

Ruby sat down feeling better from the ice while Yang said. "Aww you're just saying that, no go on keep complimenting us." Yang really wanted to be praised after all she's been working really hard to surpass everyone possible.

"Nahh you guys lost, we're the winners. Right Ren." Nora said, teasing Yang.

Jaune walked over to a laying down Ren and said. "Ren's passed out."

"Aww I wanted some valuable time with him." Nora said seductively.

"That sounds totally not inappropriate." Jaune said, a little creeped.

"Hey I don't want to hear it from you Hero boy, I see you adding more red to your outfit, why's that?" Nora said, putting Jaune in the hot seat.

A light blush covered jaune and he said mickly. "Hey I'll be a Hero someday, like Ryuu. I….."

Nora interrupted to tease him. "That's why you're adding red to your outfit! Aw you're such a fanboy." Nora said point fun at him.

"Why wouldn't I be he's saving people?" Jaune said, trying to be bravado. Little did they know he's been trying to look more like Ryuu or what he believes Ryuu looks like, so far all people know is he's 7 ft tall who's handsome and saves people or that's just the rumors that's been circulating.

Pyrrha put in her two cents. "He's also breaking the law to do it." Everyone looked at her, really they never thought she of all people would say that.

Weiss spoke up and said. "You mean the Grimm license nonsense that constricts the normal people of society from protecting themselves." Outright Weiss destroyed the sensibility of that law.

"It's still a law." Pyrrha said trying to defend the law of the land no matter how stupid.

"Not a very good one. So you're a big fan of Ryuu." Yang said, being blunt.

Not wanting him to know of his fascination of him he says. "Uhhhh kinda, but Nora's on the same boat she won't stop talking about him!" He deflected most of the attention on her.

Nora rolled her eyes and said. "Why wouldn't I? He helped Silverkeep and Konoha and I'm pretty sure he was at Kakariko and Whiterun. Dude's a trouble magnet." Ruby and her team looked at each other a little unsettled about how easily Nora figured it out.

"Yeah he is." Blake said, agreeing. Of course, of all people Blake agreed with Andres. He wants to save his people and on the way he's saving hundreds of lives.

"He's a criminal and that's putting it nicely." Pyrrha said a bit angrily.

"Pyrrha why, he's been saving people isn't that enough to at least get away with those stupid laws." Yang said a little bothered by how Pyrrha really didn't like Ryuu.

"It's not that. He a murder. From the reports that don't glorify his action he has killed 3 White Fang members and he slaughtered 43 living breathing people. What he's done is atrocious and that's why I don't like him or support him." Pyrrha said talking like she was speaking about a mass murder, but then again she was.

RWBY looked at each other with an ashamed look, but Weiss looked at Pyrrha and said. "Your right what he has done is terrible, but I would rather him kill those rapists, human traffickers than letting them roam freely. The Branwen tribe is gone and they haven't been sighted since. Anyways we're not going to be much better than him anyways, we're going to have to kill the enemy too." Since Glynda gave them the cold hard truth of being a Huntsmen and Huntress they knew they would have to kill people someday too.

"The truth of Huntsmen." Pyrrha said, saddened at the thought she would take a life.

As JNPR started packing up CFVY walked in and Coco waved over to them and said. "Hey kiddos, how's training?"

"Tiring, and life taking." Jaune said tiredly as he grabbed Ren and started to pick him up.

"Sounds lively." She said, smiling at their pain.

Jaune looked at RWBY and said. "Hey we're going to our dorms to rest, see you tomorrow." They started walking to the exit

"Cool, we're going to keep training." Ruby said heading to a bench to work on strength.

Nora looked back and said. "Geez even I don't like working out this much." Never before had they ever heard Nora say anything bad about working out.

As they left Coco walked to them and said. "Hey freshman…. I heard you talking about Ryuu?" She wanted to know if they had a connection with him.

Blake not taking kindly to the question she says aggressively. "Yeah you got a problem with it."

"Depends, you're acting pretty defensive about his actions. It almost seems like you're protecting a friend." Coco said, pointing them out. Guess Andres did meet some people before going into his adventure.

Ruby wanting to keep their secrets to themselves says awkwardly. "Well it's just we admire his…..Heroism."

"Well there is a lot to admire. I'd know, I met him." Coco said with a wiggle of her eyebrow.

"You have?" Ruby said surprised.

"Yup at Silverkeep." Coco said. Now that Ruby thinks about it, the attack on Silverkeep happened when CFVY was over there.

Ruby had an idea. "So are all the stories really true? Is he really that selfless?" She acted to see if Ozpin's and Clover's words about Andres were true.

"I haven't heard the stories, but from my experience he's incredibly selfless to an idiotic level, but he's is a Hero. He didn't get paid for helping in the attack, but he did it anyway because he felt he had to, Fucking idiot." Coco said, acknowledging Andres's Heroism.

Good now there's been three instances of positivity towards Andres's actions Ruby knew for sure he was truly doing right by the World. Ruby thought there had to be more than just that so she said. "It sounds like you're good friends with him?"

"Well I have felt him up." Coco said confidently.

All of RWBY yelled. "What?!" None of them expected that.

"What he kinda liked it, I hope." Coco says not really sure. He didn't scream rape so that's a up.

Velvet entered the conversation and said. "Well Coco and his relationship is….weird, nonetheless we are his friends." Ruby suddenly got an idea. She didn't know why, maybe it was because of her loose lips or her want to spread the word of Ozpin's shadiness.

"Like how good?" She said wanting to have a gauge.

Yatsuhashi spoke up and said, "We did bond in the attack, a bond forged in battle. We saved him and he saved us just as much."

RWBY suddenly turned to her team and said. "Group meeting." She grabbed them all and took them to the side and whispered.

"Should we tell them of Clover and her troop and about Ozpin." Her team looked taken aback by the sudden want to spread the word.

CFVY looked confused why they suddenly wanted to have a meeting. "Why, they don't need to know?" Blake said because unless it's a necessity she doesn't like giving information.

"They don't, but if they do maybe Andres would get word of it and come back." Ruby said wanting to get Andres back here.

"Why do you want him to come back?" Yang said confused because there's almost no reason for him to come back.

"He can't save his people by himself, he needs people on his side. Also it would be cool to see him again." She said, kinda wanting to see Andres again. What she wanted to be a Hero her whole life and now there's a person out there that's her perfect image of a Hero and there's a chance she can meet him.

"Fine, let's tell them." Blake said knowing it takes more than one person to make a change.

"I'm cool with it." Yang said, agreeing.

Weiss shook her head and said. "I disagree. What if they tell the authorities of Clover's actions." While Ruby saw an opportunity, Weiss saw a tragedy.

"Wohh what's with the dirty new Ice Queen." Yang said baffled by Weiss' support for a former White Fang group.

"The White Fang needs to be eliminated and this new group is going to hunt them. Why wouldn't I support them?" She said all about the elimination of the White Fang, Blake frowned a bit at that remark.

"That is a possibility, but I have faith they won't tell." Ruby said and after a few seconds Weiss gave up and agreed with her Leader.

Over the next hour Team RWBY told Team CFVY about Clover and Andres' affiliations with them. Some reactions were on opposite spectrums. Fox was angry for whatever reason, Yatsuhashi was happy, Coco was thrilled to hear Andres accidentally amassed an army, and Velvet looked a bit relieved.

The White Fang made the Faunus's image into something to be feared and now there's a group out there to turn that around. They spoke for the rest of the day about Ozpin and the potential of what could happen in the future, but one thing was for certain they would keep this a secret.

Out in the City in a certain building that controlled the entire Valan Economic and Political systems. In a dark room with two important individuals sat in high class chairs waiting. After minutes of waiting a Grimm that clicked came out of the darkness and headed for the two humans.

Both tensed up seeing the Grimm, but relaxed after remembering it's not an enemy. As the predator to life came closer, a single sentence was heard. The two influential figure hairs raised and their hearts clenched hearing it was time. "Activate Order Broken Tower."

"Jesus what takes that kid so long." Qrow said on a couch in Dragonsreach. It's been a day since Andres left for the mission already and we've gotten some news that conveniently lines up with Andres's mission.

The "Labor" Camps down the way was attacked by the White Fang. During the night all of the Slaves came to Whiterun, which in turn gave them freedom.

The second I saw the Slaves I knew what was happening. Guess the Anti-Slave talk finally paid off. When the Slaves entered the city we told all of them they no longer belonged to Atlas and now they had freedom.

Some weeped with joy and other were skeptical. The people gave them an option to join their community and start a new life or go back to their homeland. Most picked to stay, but some left never wanting to be near SDC ever again.

The more I waited the more nervous and anxious I got, did he get caught or is he…. No he's alive. Goddammit the little shit got me worrying about him. So now I wait for him to get back. Then a ringing was heard throughout the room signaling new orders.

In a destroyed house a man undressed taking off his disguise and his Dragon Grimm mask. His face was full of scars and his body showed more stories than a book could. He sat down and smiled.

His wrinkles and dry skin became apparent as he thought.

The child did good, far better than I remembered. Maybe it would be different. No, I still need to Direct Fate or my mission is for nothing. Nothing will stop me from saving all of them, not even the mythical thing called Fate. He will grow stronger sooner, Even if I need to force it.

Day 89 of 720 Before Earth's Death

Finally after hours of waiting for Oliver to stop talking and getting him arrested I got to my room and I felt a major nap and bubble bath coming, yeah I'm a man and I like bubbles, Sue me.

As I walked in I saw Qrow with a worried look on his face and his foot shaking his whole body.

Feeling tired at the same time excited I say with enthusiasm. "Mission accomplished, so how was Mount Helios?" Time for the unboxing. It's like a loot box from those stupid microtransaction games, expect this loot box is guaranteed a legendary and I had to work three months for it.

Qrows frown turned into a half smirk and said. "You know you really got to stop putting yourself in dangerous situations."

The very idea of having a peaceful life after this is almost unreal. "It comes with the mission. So does that mean bad news?" I said, hoping it went well. I really don't want to jump through more hoops for my supposed God weapons.

With a shake of his head he grabbed something and said. "No, catch."

With trained and enhanced reflexes I caught the sheathed Sword, fuck yeah it's done. I looked at the object that took three months to get, well objects.

I unsheath the Sword and all I felt was the power inside the blade and it was addicting. With joy I saw a clean and slick looking Black Blade with the edges emitting a red glow, it was so polished I saw my reflection. Just like my Longsword It was sharp, maybe even sharper and it felt a perfect balance of weight, not feather light, but not Warhammer heavy.

Like what happened with my Longsword after it was destroyed, someone made me a better version. So with that Eorlund created me a Shortsword, the blade was black and the hilt had red ribbons on it and it had certain symbols on the middle of the blade, it seemed familiar in a way.

While the Sword got most of my attention the sheath got the other part. The sheath was a light neon shade of green, wow did he really make the other scale into a sheath, what a waste.

Feeling disappointed at the absolute absence of creativity I looked closer and I saw a button. Hoping something cool would happen I pushed it and it turned into a full on shield. Holy shit it's a collapsible shield, not only that it felt practically weightless. I looked at it and it was awesome. huh, waste my ass, shows me to assume.

It was a Zelda looking Hylian Shield. It didn't have the legend of Zelda markings, but it was shaped the same. The markings it did were engraved into it so it looked like it was a Dragon's mouth with sharp teeth at the edges. Finally I have something to shield me from attacks, good because I'm getting sick of having too many scars.

Suddenly I heard Paarthurnax's voice. "Andres the shield is like the Sword, just try and it will spur flames, of course not nearly as strong as mine...wait don't try it in here." Damn Paarthurnax that hurt, I'm not that stupid.

"Wow this is a big power up." I sat down as I looked at the two masterfully crafted shield and Swords, feeling the faint flame of hope get bigger a tear fell from my eyes, one of many if my emotions had to say about it.

One step closer to saving them, one step closer to finally not having to look over my shoulder for the next big atrocity that's coming for me. I've finally made some real progress.

Qrow saw this and with some unwillingness said. "Well it's a big step.….so what are you going to do now?" I haven't really thought too far into the future so. Ok I can't go straight to Salem by myself so I need to assemble my army and head for her lair, seriously when I think about it to myself I feel stupidity coming off of it. Well that's most of my plans.

Stuttering from nervousness because I really didn't have a plan I say. "I….Maybe…..Guess now's the time. I'm going to the Grimmlands, but first I need to get my ar….."

Qrow cut in and said with a serious tone. "Andres, that's not the best decision."

God dammit. I knew from day one ever since I came here someone on the "Good" Side would try to take me back to Beacon, but I really hoped it wouldn't happen and definitely not from one of my friends. They're going to try to stop me and I can never allow that.

"Why…" I say while getting a good grip on my new blade and get ready to fight, so this is it a burned bridge, why does the world make me fight my former allies. It was fun while it lasted Qrow.

Qrow seeing me grabbing my blade he immediately says. "Calm down, it's not what you think. It's….your not going to beat her with only an army, you're going to need something a little more…..Magical." With that he defused the situation. So he's not trying to take me back to Beacon.

Feeling the weight of having to fight a friend vanish I let go of my new weapon and say. "Oh I just need magic. I got that so no worries." Yes I knew learning at the Monastery was completely worth it. Gonna pseudo magic Salem's ass.

"You do?" Qrow said dumbfounded.

Wait, I've used Dust in front of him and he doesn't know its magic, shit. "I mean…. No." I said trying to get away with my slip up.

"What do you mean?" He said pressing on.

Well it's not like it's a game changer, I think. "Oh so you don't know, Dust is magic. It's just crystallized over thousands of years." I said completely believing in it. Yeah I trust the Monks and their research and from what I can tell it's their practically spot on, on practically everything.

He looks at me confused. "...That's a crackpot theory, but that's not what I'm talking about. Listen, this wasn't supposed to be told to you, but there are women of incredible powers in this World." Women who are powerful. Is he talking literal or metaphorical, I'm all about strong women, but I don't think they will be that much help.

"..." I say while gesturing to him to go on. If he has something game changing it's worth listening to.

"Let me tell you a tale of a Hermit and Four Helpful Maidens. (Insert Cannon RWBY Here Because I'm Way Too Lazy to Write That Shit Down). So pretty much their four maidens and only four can exist. While so few their power is unrivaled, some would say if one mastered their magic they could take on a whole Huntsmen Academy by themselves.

Jesus, I know how strong a Veteran Huntsmen is and a Huntsmen academy normally has about 20 of them and not just that theirs the hundreds of Huntsmen in training there so damn is that incredible, like broken incredible. "So you want me to recruit them." I said getting happy about even getting that firepower on my side.

With a nod he says. "Yes, but there's something else. Me, Glynda, and Ozpin don't want you to go die. We need you to live and for that to happen you need to be given the truth. Our circle believes that the only way to defeat her is to use the power of the Relics." Relics I need a little more of a description of them because if it's a lamp that's ancient it's not worth it.

"Relics, what do you mean exactly?" I sat because I can't be lugging around ancient shit.

"I mean….you know what let me tell you a story. There were once two Gods. One of Light and the other for Darkness. They both fought over how the World should work so instead they created humans to decide. They gave them Creation, Destruction, Knowledge, and the most important Choice. With this humanity flourished." He said giving a really simplified version of the story. (If you want the descriptive version find the cannon fairytale video on it.) Great so those two fucks created Remnant, well Remnant I'm about to kill your Gods. Jesus Christ I never thought I would ever think that.

"So they gave humans free will." I said not really getting the message.

He shakes his head in disagreement and says. "No, when I mean Creation and Destruction I'm talking literally. At each of the 4 Major Huntsmen academies across the World have a Relic. They are hidden from view, but are protected by proximity of the schools." Why is four the magic number? So these Powerful Relics are on the Four corners of this World. Seriously it took me three months to get around a quarter of the World, while I have time I just don't like wasting it.

"What exactly do they do?" I ask because if they just give me some wisdom it's not worth it, wow I'm being really negative.

"I don't know, but one thing is for sure if you want to defeat Salem you're going to need them." He said sure they are the key to win. So all I know is their powerful, better be or Imma start smashing shit, AKA the Relics.

"Dammit, so more traveling to get these relics." I yell. Fucking hate traveling.

Before I could rant, Qrow spoke up. "That's the thing to get the Relics you're going to need the Maidens to open the locked door to them." You gotta be kidding me. I started breathing in deeply trying to calm down, but I couldn't.

I walk over to a chair next to the bed and with one hand throw it at the wall. On impact it turned into splinters.

It's not just one thing, but multiple. I got one step forward, but fifty steps fucking back. Not only do I gotta find these Maidens that I assume are in hiding because I haven't heard of them yet. I have to find them, convince them to open the locked door to the Relics in the Four Fucking corners on Remnant, but last, but not least I know what this means, I have to talk to ally myself with Ozpin.

"I'm about to blow my brains out… so you want me to go back to Beacon." I said fully getting the big picture now. They're using this information to lure me back to Beacon and to pretty much force me to work with them if I want my army or any of the Relics.

They're using my World as Leverage!

"Yes, we want to start planning how we're going to go about this." He said, trying to convince me. Yeah Qrow that's a nice way of looking at it. God I fucking swear, all the time I hid myself from Ozpins control and now to get to my goal I need to collude with him.

"..." I was silent, but my face was red with pure anger about Ozpin finally getting me in his grips and I never knew.

Qrow trying to calm me down from my little moment he says. "Andres this is the best option. If you had an army at your side they would be demolished by Salem's Grimm, but if you had the Huntsmen Academies, The Relics, and Maidens at your side we have a massive chance at finally beating her." How many times have I heard that? A month ago all I needed was the New Dragon Sword, but now I need three or more different things to actually win.

After looking at the pros and the cons. I begrudgingly say. "...Fine I'll go back to Beacon, but if Ozpin even tries to manipulate me I'm out." I have no chill when it comes to Ozpin. Yeah so what I don't like the guy, my first impression of him was him hitting me and knocking me out. Of course I'm not going to like him.

"Agreed." He said happily that I finally was convinced.

"I'm going to go take a bubble bath, when are we leaving? I'm assuming you're getting the transport ready." I said knowing Qrow wasn't just waiting on his ass for me doing nothing.

"Tomorrow in the Afternoon." He answered.

"No Rest For The Wicked." I say as I punch a hole in the wall next to me and walked straight into the bathroom fuming. A minute later a butler came to ask if everything's alright. Qrow said he'll pay for the damages.

It's been 30 mins since my talk with Qrow. God was that a fucking kick in the nuts. Not only do I have to travel the World to get the relics, I have to ally myself with Ozpin, who mind you is a highly respected individual on this planet so if he said don't follow me so many people would listen, so I'm kinda forced.

I sunk deeper into the cool tub filled with bubbles. I laid my head back trying to relax, but I couldn't.

I can't. I'm too focused to rest. For God sake just look at my body, this is what happens when you're so focused and relentless that no matter what nothing would get in your way even if you're cut to pieces.

I'm sick of it, the suffering, the pain, the scars that will follow me every day for the rest of my life. I look at my left arm and just look at the scabs tissue on both the forearm and my hand and fingers that got mangled.

I had to take off the bandages for the bath. Not just that, also my two massive torso scars that look grotesque and my giant scar on my shoulder and the buckshot shotgun scar I have in my left thigh and the other smaller scars from bullets and blades I have all over my body. I know that this is a Sacrifice that needs to happen for my World to live, the destruction of my body. I won't stop, but that doesn't mean I like it.

I'll save both Worlds. The Faunus and humans. The Faunus discrimination ends now, I've seen the atrocious acts this World does.

I've started to see the World is corrupt to all hell. The Atlas government needs to go, other bandit tribes like the Branwen tribe needs to go, the fucking disgusting people in power that would sell lives for money or more power needs to go, and Salem needs to go.

I swear to Faunus I'll stop all Slavery and they'll get their rights like everyone else. I can't do much about racism, racism will die out over time when people live together and get over their differences.

So many promises can I really do all of them? The weight of the Worlds is already crushing me and now the promises are really starting to get to me.

I already know I'm changing, either it's from the pressure or something else, but I don't know where my "Do Not Cross Line" Is anymore. I'm way more willing to kill and commit immoral acts. I'm sure at least one of the White Fang I've killed was an early teens child. Huh I swear if the younger version of me saw me now he'd call me a murder like everyone else.

As I thought more of the person I thought I would become a stream of tears started to come out. I always thought I would be the best morally right person that would be a light in the sea of shit that is reality, but now I'm the opposite of that. For the next hour I cried about so much that I was confused by my own thoughts.

After I got out and got dressed and went straight to bed without talking to Qrow.

Day 90 of 720 Before Earths Death

After hours of sleep there was a knock at the door. I got up from a 12 hours sleep and opened the door. A butler that looked a lot like Alfred from Batman. "Hello Mr. Andres, apologies for disturbing your sleep, but The Jarl would like to speak to you before your departure." He said like a proper gentleman, unlike my groggy self.

"Uhh yeah sure I'll be right there." I say as I yawn.

"Thank you, Sir." He says before walking away with precise and graceful movement, seriously is everyone some sort of master as a fighter.

I look into the room and see my bed that was a mess, what when I get nightmares I move a bit and Qrows neatly made bed. Nowhere to be seen I guess he went to get our transport, guess I'm going to meet the wizard of Oz.

Time to start packing. I put all my belongings into my bag and tightened all of my weapons. Hold on a second where my Bow, shit did I forget it somewhere.

Wait no, I haven't seen it since Konoha. Dammit some little shit took it, whatever I hardly ever used it, but I would like it back. Having another range attack is always useful.

Shit now that I look at my clothes I got a little nervous, shit Veronica gonna be so pissed with me. The display clothes she lent me were fucked up, some partes were shitly stitched together and the other parts were destroyed. God, I feel my ears rigging already from the yellings that are about to be directed at me.

Ready to head out I exit the room and head to the main hall. While walking I realized I didn't even look around me the whole time I was here, I was pretty busy. The walls were carved with Skyrim like symbols and the walls were made of stone and aged wood.

Really the place looked amazing to live in. Not just that, but the hallways were pretty lively. Kids ran about the hall playing their games and maids told them to keep it down, is Dovahkiin letting the kids play in here. Well in the game anyone was allowed in Dragonsreach just not the back.

As I got to the hall where people ate and where the thone is I saw Dovahkiin he waving a hand for me to come over

I walked to him and as I got closer he said "Follow me." I did as he said and followed him through the back of Dragonsreach. We came out the back where the guards trained and passed that to a balcony that was away from any nearby person.

Am I about to get betrayed, nah that only happens in movies…..Then again.

As we got there he said "Andres what do you see out there that's strange?" As he pointed at the lush green of the fields of grass that surrounded Whiterun. Is this a test?

"Uhhh, I don't know.'' I say pretty much failing the imprountu test.

He nodded understandingly and said, "I would be disappointed at your observation, but you haven't seen this before, the Grimm are gone."

My eyes go wide with surprise as I observe the field again. "They are?" I say, feeling a pit in my stomach like a bad things about to happen. "Where are they?" I ask Dovahkiin because he seems the most informed.

"You think they're planning an attack on Whiterun?" I said from straight paranoia. Since what happened at all the other settlements I've been at I'm paranoid that somethings going to happen at every turn.

"No, not here somewhere bigger that if destroyed it would disrupt the very balance of this World." He said mysteriously. If I can, I'll try to help.

"Mysterious, so do you know where?" I said because if it's to destroy balance, I'd say it's Vale that's in trouble.

He shakes his head and says. "No I don't, but the reason I called you over was to thank you." Oh is that it?

"You're welcome," I said out of manners. Well I did it for the Sword, but I would have still tried to save the Slaves even if there was no mission.

"The other reason is to give you something." He said

"Cool, what is it?" I say hoping for something really cool.

With a tone of seriousness and direct eye contact he said "My country's loyalty." Uhhhhhh did not expect that.

"What!?" I said confused, why in the hell would he give me his Country's Loyalty.

With a smirk he said. "Yes you heard me, for what you have done for us and will do in the future. Andres do you know of my Country's Legend?" In the future, does he know?

"No." I say intrigued. This story convinced him and so many other people to follow me.

"Well then I'll tell you. Once in time our country's founding father came into contact with a God on the very land you're standing on. A beast that was the King of both the Land and the Sky. The man prayed to the God and begged for a way to live in honor of the God, yes he was quite religious. The Beast accepted the request and gave him a prophecy, one day there will be a Hero that will climb Mount Helios and forge a blade that will help him in his endeavours. When this Hero came he wanted the man or his descendants to help the Hero for without help, destruction is inevitable the Beast told the man. The man didn't know what mountain the beast was talking about and with a lift of its hand a volcano started to emerge from the ground, with this the man fully believed in the Gods words. The man later became the one to create Dragonsreach to be the monument that is the Beast's Will. Over the years people joined in his crusade to create a civilization to help the future Hero. The man grew in strength and with strength people flocked to him for protection. With his influence he convinced the people that they would become the Hero's helper one day. The legend became the motivation of the citizens to become stronger and hard workers so they would be of help. Even to this day people are moved by this tale. This tale is the reason Whiterun has never been destroyed by Grimm, bandits, and other armies." He finished, holy shit either a Dragon did that or a other God because the King of both Land and Sky that's a Goddamn Dragon, gonna talk to Paarthurnax about this later. So I'm getting help from the past.

"So a God created Mount Helios and he had a prophecy?" I said to get a confirmation. So I already have an army.

"This tale is real, you're the fruit of the legend now and you're on your way to save this World correct." He said knowingly.

I look at him befuddled, he knows, but how. "...Yes I am." I said because why not he's already an ally and if he is a spy for Salem it won't make a difference. She already knows I'm coming for her.

"You will need help defeating Salem." He said confidently.

"You know!" I say loudly, but...what. I mean nobody knows about Salem unless Ozpin has his fingers in their ass.

"Of course I do almost all the World Leaders do." He said a little annoyed, with that he blew my mind. She is known way more than I thought. Now that I think about it, the people in power don't really care for her.

"You don't sound happy about it." I said picking up on his anger.

"Because I'm not, most of them I believe are in cahoots with her, none of them are ever willing to attack her and now more than ever it seems she's planning something big, World ending big. Even if everyone of them are allied with her it won't matter because a living Hero is going to kill her and rid this World of Grimm for it has been prophesied." Dammit, so most World Leaders are potentially corrupt. This is getting easier and harder at the same time.

Ignore the bullshit prophecies because I don't believe in Destiny or Fate, I say. "Your Country's Loyalty, does that mean when the War starts you'll be there with me?"

He smirked and nodded. "Whiterun will and so many others as well, I have connections that want to rid this World of Grimm." He said like a badass. It's not just Whiterun that's behind me, but others as well." I have my army so all in need is the Relics and hopefully the Maidens.

"This is great news, thank you Dovahkiin." I said with complete gratitude.

"Don't thank me yet, just make sure you're fully ready to go to War with the Grimm because while you have our Loyalty I will not let my people die because of an unprepared Leader." He said seriously, hey I'm always prepared.

"Gotcha," I said excitedly.

"Good, now go learn and become more powerful. I'll be waiting for the call." He said waving me off.

"Then I'll see you on the battlefield." I say like a badass as I walk away from the Jarl.

I walk out of the Palace and head down the great stairs. As I got to the bottom I decided to go talk to Eorlund, while I really don't like him he still deserves thanks for what he's done for me.

I walked into his store and all I saw was three men in Atlas military uniforms standing straight and across from them behind his counter Eorlund was yelling at them.

"No I don't know who attacked your Slavery camp!" He said angrily and annoyed. Dammit did they track it back to us, but how.

The front guy uniform was different his had silver lines next to the blue. He stepped up and said. "Mr. Gray-mane if you don't cooperate with us we'll have you arrested." Oh good I thought they knew. False alarm.

"For what?! I didn't do anything, if you want actually information go talk to your former Slaves, but no you come to me probably because I won't build your stupid equipment for you!" Eorlund yelled. Didn't that Winter chick want him to build something for her. She probably called her people to harass him, what a corrupt power hungry bitch.

"This is your last Warning before we take you into custody." The commander said as he brought out his handcuffs. God damn, guess I'll help out.

"That's enough, why are you harassing my friend?" I said getting involved.

Two of the Soldiers turned around and made a wall between me and the situation. "Civilian, this is Atlas business. Stay out or you will also be detained." One of the Soldiers said. Like they can.

"If your trying to arrest him for the attack on Slavery camp he wasn't involved. Him, me, and multiple credible Huntsmen went up Mount Helios to forge a weapon during the attack." I said trying to get him free, fuck these guys if I have to I'll kick their asses.

"Where is your evidence?" Said the commander, annoyed. Guess he thought he could get away with arresting the asshole without resistance, God I'm hating Atlas even more for this.

I pull out my sheath and press the button while the Sword is still inside and said. "This Sword and shield, they were made days ago on the day your Slavery camp was attacked and I'm sure Eorlund has papers of his creations." I said confidently, Jesus why did I say that, fuck me I'm terrible with lying. Please Eorlund actually have papers.

Eorlund looked at me surprised and went for something under his counter and said. "I do, every weapon, shield, and trinket I made was documented and that day I made those two weapons." He said with a smug smile. Fucking awesome we didn't get caught.

The commander looked a bit hesitant by the evidence, but regained his composure and pointed at my new toys and said. "This is not sufficient enough evidence, but we will be holding the weapons as evid…." The door opened and he was interrupted, lucky him I was about to decapitate him. Fucking hate corrupt bastard who think they can step on people. Too bad for him if he tried to step on me he would have lost his legs.

I turned and saw who stepped in and interrupted the asshat. "Soldiers, what is the meaning of this?" Within a second I recognized the person it was Winter. Why, I mean she sent these guys here, why isn't she helping?

"Specialist, were here under orders to investigate any suspicious suspect." The commander said shakenly, holy shit she didn't send these guys, guess I misjudged her, my bad.

Her professional expression turned annoyed and she said, "That is enough, Ironwood wants all personnel to head back to the Chariate for a briefing on the situation." Damn did you hear that, they're getting sent to their rooms.

"But he's our prime suspect." The commander said, trying to convince Winter.

"On irrelevant opinions, now back to base with you!" She yelled at her fellow Soldiers. With that they left annoyed they couldn't do anything. Winter turned around to face us and said. "You will pay if you had any hand in this, the both of you." Like you'll ever catch me.

Winter left for her base and Eorlund said with anger. "What a bunch of narcissistic bastards….. So kid, why'd you come here?"

"I'm here to thank you, while I don't like you. I won't underappreciated what you've done." I said believing what I said. While you can really hate a person, but if they do do something good for you or others they at least deserve a thumbs up, the moral of the story is don't demonize people because you don't like them.

Eorlund looked surprised and said, "...Kid you're not all that bad, now leave I have a flight I need to catch." Looks like someone getting out of dodge.

I go for the door to leave and say. "See ya, oh yeah I was wondering did you give my weapons names?" The whole idea of giving weapons names is ridiculous to me, but this is legendary ass shit so it has to have a name.

"The Sword is Erebos and the Shield's is Ochrana." He said, gotta say those are some pretty badass names.

"Thanks again and don't die soon. I might need your help later down the line." I say leaving. You know maybe in a couple of months I'll need some armor or other things made.

I walk out and head further into the city. I walk by multiple people helping the former Slaves integrate with their culture by letting them stay in their homes and giving them free meals to get them into working order.

As I kept walking I got to Nature's Gift, aw crud. I don't want to get yelled at, but I really want my ordered clothes, she'll forgive me right. I hope.

I open the door and enter. The place looked the same as before, but at the cashier was a man leaning over a clothing rack inspecting it instead. Woooh no yelling.

I walk over and I get a good look at him. He looked in his 50s, his Black hair was starting to turn gray. His skin was a bit wrinkly, but he looked pretty young still.

While his body looked old his clothes looked new. He had a sweater that had a blue and green hands holding hands. And under it it said Family. He also wore dark blue jeans. On his sweater he had a nametag and it said Blaine. Behind him nailed to the wall was a board that I didn't see before it had dozens of photos. A couple had words on them, but the one that popped out the most was Veronica hugging multiple kids and behind them was a place called The Martin's. On the bottom of the photo it said. "Gave Orphan Kids New Clothes, I'm Not That Bad Of A Person" Guess I assume too much, she's a way better person than I thought.

"Uhhh hi I'm here for my clothes." I said a little sad that I didn't get to see Veronica again.

"What's your name?" He said getting up and grabbing a clipboard.

"Andres Mondragon." I said

"Sorry I don't have you on the list." He said as he looked up at me suspiciously.

I felt a slight headache coming as I knew what my name was. I rub my face and say. "Is Ryuu on the list?" Yes I like my Alias, but it's not my name.

He smiled and said. "Yeah, ha your Ryuu. So you finally came."

I am a couple of days late to get the clothes. "Yeah I was a bit busy with work. So you have my clothes?" I just want them fast so I could go get some trash food that's delicious.

"Yeah here you go, but before I do you want to tell me what happened to the display clothes." He said, grabbing a stack of clothes wrapped in string.

"They uhhh, ok let me be real with you. I've been through at least 5 life or death situations since I got these so you know." I said trying to give a actual reason, fuck it is my bad.

Instead of being mad he laughed and said. "I see, Veronica was right about you. You're a trouble magnet." Hey…..Dammit he's right.

"Life hates me." I say this because I'm starting to believe it.

"Well, look on the bright side, people around Sanus love you." He said smiling.

"They do?" I said surprised. The fuck do they like me for…...oh yeah I'm a "Traveling Hero".

"Of course. Everyone loves a Hero that does it for the people, not the money like a Huntsman. Mostly here in Whiterun. I know it was you who saved the Slaves and so does everyone else, but don't worry we won't tell. We wanted that place to be destroyed anyway. The former Slaves are looking up to you and so do the Citizens here, but none like my daughter." He said telling me Veronica is his daughter.

Also not just that he kinda outed his daughter about being obsessed with me. "..." I stay quiet.

"She just won't stop talking about you. Ever since you came here she's been so happy that her passion for designing reignited. You know she really looks up to you." He said with gratitude. Cool, I'm inspiring people, like a true anime character.

"I'm not that great of a person." I say remembering all of the horrible shit I've done.

"Of course. Heros make the biggest sacrifices." He said completely understanding. He is right.

"They do." I said, getting somber.

With a stern voice he says. "Just know this, my daughter is practically obsessed with you so don't try to take advantage of her. You got me because not even my Lord Dovahkiin could stop me if you do." Oh shit he's threatening me. It's new to me because I guess my Ex's parents never saw me as the threat type so they didn't do it.

"Don't worry, I'm not a scumbag." I say knowing I won't take advantage of her.

"Good now here and give me the display clothes Veronica really gonna want this." He says as he hands me the clothes and points at a changing room.

"Disturbing…" I say kinda creeped out, but who am I to judge. After I changed out of the tight torn clothes and into the new specifically designed clothes I felt amazing. The display clothes were pretty tight and uncomfortable, but this, this is nice, I didn't feel any restraint of my movement at all and it was lighter than a feather. I walked over to the guy and curiously said. "So where is Veronica?"

He responded proudly. "She left to Kakariko yesterday to visit her sister. I'm keeping watch over her shop and yes she's only 21 and has her own business." This shop is her's holy fuck is that awasome. What I haven't heard of many 21 year old successful entrepreneur.

Kakariko, huh the universe has a sense of humor. "I might meet her again then, I am heading that way." I say a little annoyed

"Ah this sounds like the beginning of a Romantic Tale." He said laughing. Haha laugh it up, no, but seriously it would be so ironic if we both fell in love.

"I thought you wanted me to stay away from your daughter." I say confused, dammit old man, make up your mind.

He starts shaking his hand and gesturing in a certain way of saying no and he says. "Oh no she's allowed to be with anyone, but right now she's in that phase where she only sees you as the Hero not as the person you are, so give her time to get her head straight then she can make her decision." Ah so that's what he means. Men who are in my head somehow listening in, here's a lesson always clarify, if you don't you might get in some kind of trouble.

"Ahh, hey so all of the Slaves are free right." I say getting away from me hooking up with his daughter. They seem free, but always clarify.

"Yeah once they got into Whiterun's walls as refugees they became free. Just so you know they're all so happy, most of their lives they've been in chains and now because of your actions they're free to do as they want." He said joyful of the events that transpired.

"What about the former Slaves that left?" I ask because some might have gone to the White Fang.

He shrugged and said. "I don't know maybe they wanted to join the White Fang or go back to their family or homeland. Most of the Slaves wanted to become a part of the community here, they said they had nothing to go back to. Soon we'll be building more houses so they can have a place to call their own." Fuck are Whiteruns citizens charitable.

"Wow you guys are pretty generous." I say absolutely surprised with the support the former Slaves are getting. Only if everybody was like this everywhere.

"Of course they need to be able to stand alongside us if they're going to be able to stay." Ah so to stay you must earn your keep. That is this city's culture. Some might say it is immoral to do it, but in a tough World like this you need to be tough on your citizens to make the most of their time.

"I'll be off then Blaine." I sat going for the door.

"Goodbye and remember Ryuu, we'll be behind you when the time comes." He says giving me a thumbs up, yes so Dovahkiin's promise is real.

"Then I'll see you there." I said smiling for that moment. The moment that my army I accidentally created formed to save this World and mine.

I walked down the street with a massive smile. I looked around and my mood just kept improving. The people waving to me and the Faunus became more cheerful, the sight that I'm actually doing some good was amazing. It's like getting a pat on the back that you don't have to force on yourself to keep going, which I do a lot.

You know what, I want to celebrate. Fuck eating healthy for a bit and lets think about all the junk good that I could eat, how delicious it would be.

I mean I haven't had a proper modern meal in a long time excluding Minato's dinner. So what will it be, a big ass steak, maybe some chicken nuggets, or Pizza.

It's decided I'll get pizza if that exists in this World.

As I kept walking I finally found a pizzeria, yeah I didn't ask for directions this time. I walked in and all I smelled was cheesy and greasy deliciousness. The place looked modern with a slick look, the pizza here better be good. I went to the cashier and a guy came to take my order.

Immediately I ordered just a pizza with cheese and pepperoni and the equivalent of a Pepsi, nice and simple. Yeah I like simple foods, nothing complex.

I paid and he told me to wait at one of the tables and I did what he said. As I sat down to wait for the call.

After the briefing of the Gulag situation everybody went into Whiterun to investigate the possibility of outside help. Before Winter could get out she was waved over to her Superior she admired for most of her career. "Winter, how's the progress on the investigation going?" He said professionally as they walked away from the crowd and people that were leaving.

"We're turning up nothing." Winter said slightly annoyed that they can't do anything. The Jarl of the place is immune from their actions because of no evidence of him being a part of the Gulag situation. Some of my men tried to get some information out of Eorlund, but I thought they needed to hear this useless brief that wastes our time, curse my inability to not follow procedure.

He nodded and turned to Winter and handed her a picture and said. "Expected. Listen Winter I have a new order and these are top secret. I need you to capture this boy and bring him back to me." The boy in the picture was the universe's latest punching bag, really did you ever really doubt it.

Surprised by the one she is now looking for was him she said. "I know this child."

Ironwood's attention was immediately on her and she said "You do? Where?" His voice was mostly professional, but there was a slight tone like he was excited to hear this.

Completely willing to give the information to my superior I say. "In Whiterun he stopped me from getting the essential part for Atlas's Tim…"

Interrupting the moment he thought about the situation he said. "Winter you need to capture this boy before he leaves. His flight leaves soon and make sure Qrow doesn't see you doing it. It'll bring suspicions about me." The General was completely serious.

"Yes General!" I said happily that General Ironwood actually trusted me for this, it Warmed her heart.

I waited for a hour and I was fucking hungry, yeah I've been really hungry especially on my trip since I had to ration food. As I waited I started to practice my Aura. You know Aura is weird because it has so many uses, but why doesn't anybody use it the way I do.

I mean I learn it really fast and I'm really good at it, but someone like Qrow isn't, but he's been practicing for dozens of years.

It could be age or that I'm from a different World like how I assume my Semblance works, but how about how I think.

Wait, maybe I'm onto something. I come from a different World and maybe it's because we see Aura as different things. He sees it as protection and hardly as offensive. I see it as a tool for everything, that's it.

I see it like how anime portrays power like Aura. I see it as an opportunity and how to improve it and I have a visualization of it because anime has things otherworldly, but Qrow he's seen some stuff, but Semblances seem a bit too weak to actually give the same imagination as anime.

Semblances typically have a weakness and power from anime normally don't so they can be the same. The point is Qrow sees Aura in a tunnel vision way, but I don't I look for any improvement I can because I know their is a improvement because anime has shown me the improvement is their its you have to find it, so pretty much anime is my guide to getting stronger by ripping off moves from it. Wow, turns out cartoons and anime are saving the universe, isn't that ironic.

As I play around with my Aura I get an idea that is so overpowered if I can actually learn it. I grab my fork and stab my hand…...and the fork pierces the skin, OW. The fuck….no I need to practice it. Wait if I can do this this means that I can make a forcefield, yeah my idea is overpowered.

As I wait for my order I keep up the practice on the new move. After a minute they called my name, I couldn't wait.

I get up and walk over and start to think. It's been 3 months since the last time I actually ate fast food, while that doesn't seem that long, for me it was as if it lasted a lifetime. Huh I remember so many times I took eating good food for granted, not anymore.

Most of the time I've been eating dry jerky that's tasteless and different foods for all of the weeks I've been traveling, not that happy of a time and not just that I couldn't eat too much so my food could last. Now that's finally over, my training is complete and I don't need to be moving on foot to every location. Yup I unlocked fast travel, thanks Qrow.

I got to the counter and the guy handed me the pizza, 8 massive slices that looked good. My taste buds reacted and started to flood my mouth full of saliva. With every ounce of my Willpower I stopped myself from eating the whole damn pie in one bite, no….I need to savor the flavor.

Finally got to my seat and as I went for the first slice of greasy pizza two small hands grabbed the tray and took it, in an instant I went into battle mode completely ready to suplex the person who grabbed my food into the ground.

I am very serious with MY food.

As I was about to grab the little hands I heard a kid's voice I remembered. "Mine, I need it more than you." The kid said. When I saw the kid I knew who he was. He's the kid that wanted to go back to his mommy at the Gulag, wow that sounds condescending, but it isn't.

Surprised to see him here I say. "Uhhh hey kid." After a second I remembered why I looked at him. "Give me back my pizza." I say ready to throw the kid out the window.

"Nah, you're a Hero, you don't need it, but I do." He said as if he was starving to even sell it he started to rub his stomach like it was empty. This lying shit.

With pure I don't give a shit attitude I say. "I don't give a shit if I'm a Hero or not, give me my pizza back."

The kid was slightly hesitant after I said that, but he kept trucking on. "Come on, I'm a hungry homeless child and my father can't work for money." Behind the kid was the dad that had the scar on his throat, shit I didn't even see him.

Maybe I can le…..no the kids lying. "I call bullshit."

"Yeah you're right." He said with a cheeky smile, feel bad for the dad, he has a cheeky kid.

"But my dad and I are both kinda malnourished." He said guilt tripping me. Why with the guilt trip.

Having enough of the conversation I say. "Fine, take half." The kid smiled and sat down at my table while dragging his annoyed dad with him. "So how's life? I told you I'll save you and free you." I said with some theatrics.

"..." The dad looked at me unimpressed and looked away, but gave me a thumbs up. Wow, tough crowd.

The kid, nervous about his dad's douchiness, quickly said to save the conversation from becoming awkward. "Dad said thanks douche bag, but really thank you. We're free now." The kid happily said.

Seeing the kid eat a slice of pizza completely relaxed I felt real good, my mood is starting to turn. "You're welcome, even you jackass." I said pointing at the dad that started eating a piece of pizza. "So what's your plans?" I said curiously.

The kid looked a little sad and said, "Well Dad and I are going to save up money to go back to Mistral to go back to my mommy." Damn they still have to wait to see their mom/wife, I would give them money, but I practically have none left from my clothes purchase.

"Good. Kid, how did you end up in that hell hole?" I said curiously. Maybe it's another Oliver situation.

The kid looked uncomfortable and then said. "Dad….did some stupid things when he was younger, stuff that if brought to court he would have never saw they light of day, but before that could happen the SDC assholes came to him and gave him documents of his actions and as blackmail. They gave an offer to erase all of the crimes, but he needed to work for them. He knew he was boned from the start so he chose the lesser punishment, but without him knowing other things were in the papers like how his child would have to work with him. That's how I ended up there, they tore me and dad apart from my mom and right now she's gathering up evidence against SDC. I forgave him already, but 4 years of my life were taken from these fucks, I want a little compensation." The kid said as he rubbed his fingers together like how someone's gestures for getting money.

Huh the kid goes through hell and comes out with a positive outlook and a healthy thirst for revenge, sounds like a true protagonist of his own story.

Speaking about revenge I look at the kid and say. "You're gonna join the White Fang." He better not, I'll beat that out of him if I have to.

The kid did a raspberry and said. "No, they're a bunch of Warmongers." Jesus the kid is smart, that'll take him a far way.

"You know a lot from your age. Well good luck getting back to your mom. Do you think she's still waiting for you?" I asked. Dammit Andres what's with the insensitive question.

"Of course she told me she would." The kid said smiling.

"Then you'll see her again." I said hoping to cheer him up. The thing was I wanted to question him more, but not now too many personal questions. "Well enough depressed shit, time to dig in!" I said excited to finally eat my food. What's wrong with me, why haven't I been eating while he was telling his story?

As I was about to take a bite into my pizza the door to the restaurant opened and like a threat appeared, my hair raised up.

Feeling an incoming threat I used both Aura Location and Aura Pulse, which created a new move Aura Sense. The Aura around the threat that looked fiercely cold that was so cold to even Ice Dust would compare. The Aura pulse showed me who it was. Winter.

Fuck, knowing the universe she's here for me. Ok plan, I'm gonna run for it, but first I'm gonna sneak out of here.

Got to get to Qrow, wait there's a chance Qrow's in on it...no there's almost no reason what would he gain by doing this, even though he might be pretty pissed with me. Ok if Qrow is behind this...he'll become my enemy.

Ok time to leave. I get up and turn towards her and as I'm about to grab my food I hear behind me "It's a Schnee, you're the worst. Go back to daddy." Winter in an instant turned to the kid I was just talking to and because I was between them she saw me first.

"..." I look at the kid with complete dumbfoundedness and facepalm from his ignorant stupidity.

Winter, surprised to see me, hesitates for a second and then says. "You Citizen, I need to have a word wit…." Fuck this.

"Behold my Ultimate Technique." I look at her yelling. With that I ran with full intent to get away, but before I did I grabbed my four pieces of pizza. I'm out, I'm not going to just wait for her to come arrest me.

Stupid fucking kid, not only have you ruined my lunch, but also my day.

I ran out of the store leaving the kid and the dad and also leaving the Popo. As I got a good distance Winter came outside yelling for me to stop, yeah no problem let me just stop running and surrender. Bitch can't catch me.

As I'm running towards the Bullport I hear loud footsteps, you've got to be kidding me.

I turn around and see a White and Blue Beowolf, a Ursa, and a horse Grimm and on top of it was Winter rideing it, what the fuck she tamed Grimm and all of them are white and a bit of blue. I call hacks.

Running as fast as possible I look for an alternate way. Right now I'm in the main street that has a lot of space, but if I take an alleyway not all of them can follow me. As I see an alleyway I run into it. As I looked behind me and each of the Grimm had to come in one at a time, plans working.

As I get to the other side of the alleyway I get hit from the side and as I'm falling over I get a clear look at it, it was fucking human sized Nevermore. She has a army on her side, fuck. As I get up I try to grab the fuck, but it flys out of my range. Instead of spending more time on it I keep running.

I look behind me to see how much closer the fucks got and no one, shit they went a different way, ok be prepared. I quickly pop a Hardlight dust just in case.

As I looked back to where I was running, the Beowulf came at me teeth first out of an alleyway I was passing by. In an instant I tossed my pizzas in the air to be caught by Threads and grabbed its head and squished it, wow that was way easier than I thought.

I kept running and like in movies where the bad guys corner the protagonist the Ursa and a giant bee like Grimm cut me off at an intersection, hold on where all of the citizens.

I looked around and saw a ghost town, but there was one person who gave me a thumbs up from his window as he shut it, their fast at hiding.

Not seeing the Grimms as a threat as I used to, I grabbed both my Longsword and Erebos and threw them at the Grimm. As they flew kinda lamely two Threads grabbed each of the Swords and guided them to the Grimm. The Longsword went straight through the Ursa like a bullet meant for piercing and Erebos stuck inside the bee Grimm and lit it aflame. As the bee died by fire it fell to the floor as it cooked, both disappeared like a regular Grimm. I recovered my Swords and kept running.

Finally after a good 5 minutes of running I finally saw the outdoor bullport full of people down the road. Too focused on running I didn't notice the shadow under me that was growing fast.

With a crash I was body slammed into the pavement. I dug my right hand into the pavement and threw myself forward away from my assailant. Recovered fast I turned to see my attacker. Winter was on the horse Grimm and the Nevermore was at her side.

With a flick of her finger the Nevermore spread it's wings and thrusted them towards me. It sent dozen razor sharp feathers, oh fuck.

Caught a little off guard as they came at me I held my hand out and made a transparent red Aura shield, it was similar to Aura palm, but more Aura consuming. As the feathers got to my palm I didn't block or deflect. Instead I contained the kinetic energy from each of the feathers by creating an Aura forcefield around the kinetic energy and not letting it be released.

The Aura shield stopped the feather so they dropped to the floor, but the kinetic energy stayed, but slowly built up behind the shield as each feather was stopped.

yes this is it. I knew it as long as I believed it would work like how I think it will, my Aura will do as I say, also I totally got better in fight or flight situations. And like that I made force fields awesome

I almost absorbed all of the feathers, but one of them passed my little shield and got me straight in my face, Owww…. my beautiful face.

As I rubbed my face from the attack I saw the absorbed energy from the attacks in my hand was starting to glow brightly, the kinetic energy looked like a Crimson Ki Blast from DBZ. Seeing it grow brighter and brighter by the second I realize.

Shit gonna blow, immediately recognized it looked like it was from DBZ I tried to throw it, but it stayed in hand. Fuck, it can't leave me.

I look at Winter and I see her charging me with her horse and Nevermore with Rapier in hand, wrong move. I smirk and dash to her horse and with kinetic blast in hand I smash it into the horse's face.

The blow obliterates its head and it starts to evaporate, oh I'm so gonna use that later. Getting more overpowered by the day. Winter with grace jumped off the horse and landed.

Looking at the shitty Nevermore I get a little pissed at it. With two Threads I send them at the nevermore at speeds that even adept Huntsmen eyes couldn't keep up with. I wrapped the Threads around its body and squeezed, with enough pressure it looked like what happened to that black guy in that shit Resident Evil movie, that legend died in literally pieces, but this enemy is down, Another one bites the Dust.

One left. I looked at Winter and she looked pissed. "Child, cease your actions, the Atlas military needs to have a talk with you." At least she has a bit of restraint.

"Nah don't want to." I said like a defiant child.

"You have no option." She says as she gets into a stance to fight.

Like hell I do. "You have no power over me, no one does." I say with pure determination. No one will govern my actions, only me.

Still trying to talk it out, she says. "If you don't comply I'l…"

She stopped talking as her body was restrained by dozens of Threads that came out of the ground. Like an actual smart person, I had one Thread grab her weapons and pass it to me, she had a really tight grip ohh sucks for her future lover.

I held it in my left hand and with a swing of my hand it flew into another neighborhood, out of sight and out of mind. Most people rely on their weapon too much and when without it are typically worse fighters the same goes for me.

I ran up to her and punched her kidney and kicked her in the chest. Like a monster she ripped out of my Thread, heh not impressive it was just a couple of Threads.

With fluent and skilled movement she dropped low and kicked my feet out from under me, seriously everyone does this to me. As I fell she tried to get a good punch in, but missed due to a Thread moving the trajectory of the punch.

With her close enough I wrap my legs around her neck and arm. She quickly tried to get me off, but I had too strong of a grip. As I held strong dozens of Threads anchored into the ground behind me and then when ready pulled me and her. We flipped sides.

She was on her back and I was on top of her. I could kill her….but I can't. She's Weiss's sister and Nicholas's granddaughter, she's also a part of a military that would be on my ass, but that's not the point. She won't die by my hand.

Time to finish this. I punched her in the face with an Aura Disruptor. She punched back, but she had no actual power behind it.

She saw her punch not even budge my head which scared the shit out of her, she had every right to be. In an instant I gave 10 more punches in the face making her Aura flare harshly and making her look disheveled. With a final move I knee her in the chin giving another flare and with the momentum I flipped onto my feet and started to run towards the bullport, hooo I got lucky, she really underestimated the fuck out me.

As I got closer to the front door to the bullport I heard a yell behind me. I turn while running and see her in a running stance with multiple rune circles behind her that looked like gears and one looked just light blue.

Shit she's gonna try something. As I think this she starts running and holy fucking shit she's going as fast as a jet. In a second she got halfway. With a boost of Aura in my legs I ran into the bullport.

I accidentally trip and fall over. In an instant I got up and got ready to fight her. I looked outside and she was gone, nowhere to be seen. The fuck where she go.

As I inspected the outside a hand grabbed my shoulder. On instinct I grab the hand and twisted it while kicking out their legs. In a matter of a second I was on top of my new attacker and ready to break a wrist.

Under me was Qrow with a really annoyed look. "Andres…..What the Fuck." He said getting angrier by the second.

I immediately got off of him and helped him up and said kinda shaken up from the adrenaline. "I'm sorry I thought you were Winter or a new enemy." He could still be an enemy, God what's with my paranoia.

His annoyed became confused and he said, "What did you say Winter, what happened?"

"Winter came to question me, I don't know about what, but I don't trust her and she attacks me. She was outside, but she left." I said pointing at the barren street. Now that I look at it all the people are gone.

I looked for Qrow's facial expressions to see if he was a part of it. He frowned and said. "That's weird, let's keep our eyes peeled." He waved me over and said. "Come on, let's get to the ship it's about to leave." Ok it really seems like Qrow has nothing to do with the Atlas situation, but what I know is they are after me. Also I do need to give Qrow some credit he really doesn't deserve my paranoia of him.

That's why the place is empty. They all got on the flight. "Oh shit I was about to get left behind, you wouldn't have left me right." I said jokingly. Shit if I didn't run all the way here we would've missed the flight.

"Kinda want to now." He said rolling his shoulder to relieve its pain, oops my bad.

"Funny," I said, hoping he was joking. By the look of it this Bullhead isn't just for me and Qrow. "Any stops while we're going to Vale?" I ask because I'm pretty sure it will need to stop for refueling and let people out.

"This is a Domestic Bullhead, it's meant to transport people across Sanus without having to go through the thousands of Grimm. So were stopping at Konoha, Silverkeep, and Kakariko." Yep my observation skills are on the spot, gonna see my friends and associates.

"Cool," I said as I walked through the Bullport and got to the actual Bullhead. I walked in and saw a bunch of people giving me glares, I think I was holding up the flight.

As I walked I noticed one of my Threads was still out. I brought it in front of me and it was the Thread I told to hold my pizza, wow I forgot about this one.

The thing was, the pizzas were gone, but only one remained. I sighed and grabbed the pizza and sat in my seat next to Qrow.

Slowly I ate the pizza trying to remember the good times in my life, my memories should give me strength not fear.

As I remembered the taste I also remembered each of my birthdays I'll get a box of pizza and a small little birthday song. My mom would tell me she loved me and cry about how I'm growing up too fast. My brother fighting with me over who gets to play the games, and my older brother telling me I'm a crybaby for crying because my other brother got to play more than me. While it's a happy memory it's also a cringy one, God I hated myself when I was a kid.

After I finished the pizza I wiped the tears in my eyes and next to me Qrow gave me a pat on the shoulder, seriously stop being so friendly it's going to be so hard to fight against you when Ozpin or you betray me.

Yeah, I'm already calling it.

After hours of doing nothing, but practicing my new move that I will call Aura Revenge. Remembering the talk I had with Dovahkiin I mentally say. "Hey Paarthurnax, was it you who made Mount Helios?" I mean King of the Dragons is probably the closest you can be called to God.

"No, but I have heard legends of it." He responded.

Kinda wanting to brag about the near impossible task I did.

Lets see one I took on a good chunk of Grimm without Aura which I've been told is suicide, I fought against Adam Taurus and lived, I fought against people that out did me at every turn and won and after that I when to fight hordes of Grimm, I took out the most vicious tribe out their and killed a hefty chunk and lived, and I took on Salem's Lieutenants and the Atlas military.

Damn I could write a story about this, oh yeah I have my journal I'll write it all down in there. I'll do that in a bit then. "So Paarthurnax I'm the chosen one. I finally forged your blade." I said as I felt Erebos.

He scoffed and said. "Don't think too highly of yourself, yes you're a part of the very few that have made the blade, but even they failed."

"Very few, there were others." I was completely surprised. He always talked about it like no one has ever done it before, dammit I'm not special.

"Yes all of them had the same spirit you have, but each made a crucial mistake." They failed, so their planets were erased. Good job Andres you just fucked up your already shitty mood.

"Their mistakes what are they? Gotta make sure I don't do what they did." I said trying to make the most of the events, always learn from your predecessors.

Parthunnax coughed like he was about to sing and said. "The First was Alex, a strong woman with a head as hard as yours, she died because she decided to have a one night stand and her lover happened to be an ally of Salem. One stab in the neck as she slept, she didn't deserve that. The Second was George. He was smaller than the rest, but was a wizard in the art of Aura like you, his body did not translate to his personality; he was rigid around the edges and had a brutal temper. He fell in love with a woman and they had children. One day he decided to stop his fight against Salem to live his life, he let his planet die for his pursuit of happiness. While he stopped fighting she didn't. His family was killed years later and with blind rage he charged her castle and perished. The Third was Megan while strong in body her mind wasn't the same. While having a Heroic spirit her will wasn't strong enough. Over the years of fighting and seeing the people she befriended die at her side she stopped and secluded herself. Then one day at the brink she gave up and hung herself. The Last is Byron he was…. The most cowardly of them all while they all stood against Salem, Byron didn't even try to fight. He gave up the second he got here. Somehow as if the universe was willing Byron to succeed he finally made his weapon. Even with the power of a King in hand Byron didn't even try. He laid down and let the time I gave him to stop Salem go by. The fucked up part is when his planet was destroyed he got up and vanished. I haven't heard from him since." Fuuuuuck. So only four people ever got this far. Ok my lessons are, Paranoia will keep me alive, Don't stop fighting Salem because she won't stop, and Keep my Morale up, and the most important Never Give Up.

"They were all human." I said because they would have sticken out like a sore thumb and I know humanity isn't kind to the unknown.

"No Alex had animal traits which helped her fit in with the Faunus, George was a shapeshifter, Megan was a giant whose growth was stunted so she just looked like a massive woman, and Byron was like a human, but had four arms two on each side. They were all bipedal." So human-like. Guess evolution didn't out pace humanity.

Something stuck out to me. "...Is Byron dead?" I said not knowing.

"I don't know it's been a century since I last heard from him." Paarthurnax said not knowing too.

"He's an alien and I don't know their age he'll die at. I have a bad feeling about this guy." I said. If he is alive he could come after me because of my association to Paarthurnax.

Let's just hope that doesn't happen. I tried to rest, but I couldn't because of something. Suddenly I remembered an incredibly important question. "What about the weapons that the others made their four other weapons that are as devastating as mine?" I said starting to shake from the power being out there in the World, I know how powerful it is. I used it and I was only going 20%.

Parrthunax completely nonchalantly says. "One is in a ditch in the middle of nowhere, another is in the bottom of the ocean, the other is in the rubble of a lost civilization and the last is…...I don't really know." Fuck one is uncountable, I feel Byron is the cause.

"Dammit problems left from a forgotten age." I say rubbing my head from the new headache from the new problems.

"You won't have to worry about it. The people need my permission or the permission of the ones I gave it to use the Dragon Sword or it will only work as a typical Sword." He said. In a second I calmed down. Hoooh I thought I was gonna fight four Warrior that have Parthunax's power, I know how much the universe just loves to shit on me and it is indeed something it would do just to fuck with me.

"Thank God.'' I say thanking a higher power. Oh yeah I haven't really addressed that issue.

"Why are you thanking them?" Paarthurnax said, confused.

"Not the Twin Gs, My God, ever since you told me there are so many Gods out there I knew the one I believed in is out there, maybe not watching me, but he is out there." I say still having faith.

"You humans and your religion…..So while you have the time let's talk about our plan about the Gods." He said, getting serious, more problems great.

Back near Vale in a room completely soundproof in Mount Glenn two humans and a Faunus waited on their "Boss". "Hey Neo, did you get me a Snickers like I told you to?" A man known as Roman Torcwick said questionly at his short counterpart.

"..." His little Neapolitan partner in crime shrugged her shoulders.

"You always forget." I said annoyed. She may be good at stealing and fighting, but she's a clumsy forgetful idiot sometimes.

From across the table Adam sat trying to meditate for the incoming anger he'll have to hold back. "Quiet already, silence is more appealing than you." He said directly to me.

"What's wrong Adam you mad because all of your plans keep failing." I said poking at the bear.

In a second Adam grabbed his scabbard and said. "Say goodbye to your head." Might have poked the bear too hard.

"Enough stop your fighting before I incinerate you both." A marvel to the man's eyes walking in said, Cinder arrived. Hot, but bitchy.

"He started it." I said like a five year old, my personality seemed too relaxed for a country destroyer and that was because I'm not one.

"Adam, how's the new recruits?" Cinder said, wanting a report. Heh heard about that, his second in command caught.

"Not many, the attack on the Gulag was unsuccessful and most of the Slaves chose a peaceful life over the White Fang." He said completely with a flat tone, he's not angry that's not his Memo.

"They're actually thinking." I say trying to get another raise out of Adam. While I may say racist things I'm not one, but I don't really care what someone else thinks of me.

"Roman, why haven't you been delivering on the Dust I've asked for." Cinder says as she directs her attention onto me.

"Because you want stuff that's impossible to get." I say firing back, bitch wants me to do the impossible.

"Make it possible or you'll be no use to me." She said threateningly. Great, the your no use to me anymore, classic wannabe villain.

"Still will be impossible to get that Earth Shattering Dust you want." I said not caring how she would react. It doesn't matter how much bitching she does at me it won't make me magically able to rob the most secure place in Vale. She completely ignored me.

With a sexy smirk she says. "Now that's done. It is time Adam gather your Soldiers, Roman get your recent scores here, in a matter of weeks Vale will be no more. I'll send you the battle plan in two days. You both are free to go." Yes my lord. With that she leaves, seriously it's like she hates me.

I look over to Adam and say. "So Adam, what do you do in your free time? Shulk in a corner to try to be as edgy as possible." I just can't help myself, he's a Beacon for people who love shitting on other people and I happen to be one of those people.

"Say all of your insults now, because when this is over I'll have your head." He says as he gets up and leaves. Wow really original, he must have got it from all of the T.V. shows.

I look over to Neo and mockingly say. "Uhhhh, I'll have your head." Neo, what's your say in this?" She's my right hand man. I mean woman. Always need ideas for plans.

"..." Silence as she frowns

"You are absolutely right. We're gonna need a contingency." I say completely agreeing, this whole Cinder thing has a chance it's going to fail and I won't be failing with Cinder.

"..." Suddenly she brings out a picture of Beacon's logo. Her Semblance is awesome.

"We could try to convince Red, but she won't believe us." I said debunking that plan. Would I snitch on Cinder? Of course I would, bitch is keeping me hostage at this point. While she may be stronger and smarter, her arrogance is her downfall.

"..." Suddenly the logo turns into a newspaper about a new traveling Hero, uhhh a Hero what a joke those don't exist, he's probably out there for that glory.

"A new Hero you say, Ryuu. an interesting plan." While I don't like Heroes I will side with them if I need to, time to brainstorm.

Inside invisible to the human eye the man who had more scars than Veteran Warriors listened to the meeting. He thought of one thing. He needs to shatter the Child's pride before he makes the same mistake I did.

Day 92 of 720 Before Earth's Death

Knock, Knock.

The door to a very important person's house opened. Minato stood there in an apron as he looked at me and Qrow.

"Hey Minato." I greeted him, well I think he's my friend.

He gave me a friendly smile and said, "Hey Ryuu, are you taking my offer already?"

I nodded and said. "Yeah the Bullhead we were on had an engine malfunction and they said it'll take a week at minimum to repair it." Yeah midway through the flight a small Nevermore got past the automatic turrets on the Bullhead and hit one of the propellers and destroyed it.

Yeah the second that happened I thought the universe wanted me to have another life and death situation. After that happened me and Qrow, the Huntsmen and the "Student" Were tasked to take out any Grimm that came close to the Bullhead with a 50 cal sniper they have in emergencies, yeah I got a good killstreak.

"Tough break, come on in." He said understanding.

"Sorry I'm not the one you'll be bunking, it's for my friend Qrow." I said, pointing at an awkward Qrow who waved back.

Confused, he said. "Oh, what about you?"

I looked at Qrow and he gave me a glare and I said. "I'm heading to a friend's house."

He nodded. "That's fine, but do you want to stay? Kushina makes a great spicy steak and Naruto and Saskue would be happy to see you again." He said, trying to convince me to stay for a bit. It's working, but i…..

"You know what sure, bring the little boogers here." I said picking relaxing instead of work.

Over several hours I had dinner with Minato's family and while having dinner Sasuke's family came over for a little celebration to thank me for saving their son.

Turns out they were a part of a splinter group that tracked down other Branwen tribesmen that separated from their tribe, guessing they didn't see they light of day again. Oh yeah Qrow was there too being the odd man out. turns out the Uchiha clan is alive and Itachi is sitting across the table from me, what the dudes a genius and a badass. I had a good chat with the adults, we talked of the battles we've been in, it was pretty much all of us measuring dicks and so far I was third best.

After drinking a bit with the men Naruto, Sasuke, and Itachi took me out to play fight, Kushina was ok with it. Naruto was shit, Sasuke was pretty good, and Itachi Holy shit I feel a protagonist when I see one.

Naruto acted like the one in the show, but instead of just showing fake happiness, but was actually happy, Sasuke was happy and acted like a kid, Itachi was the same in the show, but way more protective of his brother. Also it turns out Sasuke took my bow and didn't tell me, he apologized for doing it. Instead of taking it I let him have it, maybe he'll get really good with it. The kids bothered me so much about snacks.

I talked to Minato and Saskue's parents about taking the kids to go get some snacks and they were ok with it, the little shits spent the rest of my already tiny finances. They gorged themselves and passed out.

Both Minato and Kushina took them upstairs to put them to bed and left me and Qrow to ourselves, the Uchiha family already left and let Sasuke have a sleepover with Naruto with his brother Itachi.

Sasuke and Itachi act nothing like the ones in the show, well it just shows you how normal they'd be if all that bad shit didn't happen to them. It's good to know some people get some happy stories in this shit stain of a World.

The sun fell and all of the people left and the only ones remaining were me and Qrow, the buddy cops. "So Andres what's with the disappearing act." Qrow said with a whiskey bottle in hand, the man can hold his liquor well at least.

With a smile I say. "Nice analogy, I need to check up on a couple of friends." I have time and the Monks are just a couple of miles away.

"You mean you want to run away." Qrow said accusingly, ok maybe not buddy cops.

I shake my head and swirl the water in my hand and say. "Nah too late for that, I'm halfway down to Wonderland and I can't climb my way back up. I am going to go through with what I said, but I will meet you at Silverkeep." If I'm going to the monastery Qrows not coming, they deserve to be able to live peacefully without Ozpin trying to pupperier them.

Qrow getting pissed. "Why not let me come along because you're sounding pretty suspicious." I rub my head and feel my anger rising fast.

"Because I don't want Ozpin knowing these people, your eyes are Ozpin's and no matter what Ozpin will have no say in their lives." I said with unbudging resolve.

Qrow slammed his drink on the table in front of him and said pissed. "It's always about Ozpin, Ozpin, Ozpin, what's your problem with him? He may be manipulative, but he's a great man that wants this World to be free from Salem and ever since I met you, you never gave Ozpin the benefit of the doubt. You just keep being paranoid beyond any reasonable standard towards him." Now not just anger, but sadness started to seep from me. Since day one I knew this talk was coming, but even with that foresight I knew I wouldn't be able to keep my cool.

I say slowly trying to keep my cool. "I know, I feel my instinct, my gut recoils everytime I think of Ozpin. I can't…."

Qrow cut me off and said angrily. "You mean your instinct that you can't always trust."

I tried to say something, but only two words came out with such low volume as tears started to flow from my eyes. "It not….."

Calmly Qrow said. "You need to trust us, we're on the same side."

With that the flood gates opened, my anger towards myself and my past mistakes came at me. "Do you really think I don't want to trust you?! Qrow for fuck sake I want to trust you and Ozpin, I want to trust Paarthunax and everyone else, but I fucking can't! I already made a wrong move with Clover and thank God my luck saved me! I messed up once and it was almost all over, my Life, my Planet, and Everything I fucking care about!"

I shut my mouth to stop myself from going further and as calmly I said. "Qrow you have to understand, I have to be paranoid and scared at every corner and every person I meet because I'm all that's stopping my planet from becoming another number in an endless cycle."

I wanted so badly to take the easy road on my quest. I wanted to make friends and allies that so I don't have to carry this burden myself, but I fucking can't, I'm too scared. Ozpin scares the shit out of me, with a single hit he knocked me out. He was out of my fucking league, he could have manipulated me without me even knowing, like whats happening now. Even other people I can't trust, I've already been backstabbed by Clover and she's my best friend on this planet. Even her I don't trust completely. I want friends, but I can't trust anybody, nobody is an exception.

"Do what you want, but if you fail it's on you." He said looking down at the floor not making eye contact.

I got up and forced myself to stop crying and I wiped my tears away. "I'm fine with that. Tell Minato and Kushina that I had to go early and don't make trouble for them ok Qrow." I said as I left the Uzumaki Household.

"Yeah." Qrow said by himself as he looked behind him and said. "Come on out."

Minato comes out seriously and says, "Ozpin really wants him."

Qrow took another drink and said. "He does, the kids a one of a kind and we want him to get rid of the Grimm."

Minato raised an eyebrow and said. "Sounds too good, call me old fashioned, but I know every person has a bad side and I'm waiting on Ozpin to finally reveal it." While Mayor he doesn't see much action, but before he saw the truth of the World and its dark dirty secrets, he knew the World and its people well.

Qrow looked at his drink and said. "Ozpin is not an enemy, he's the pinnacle of justice in this World." Like it was a mantra.

Minato raised his brow again at those words and walked over and said. "Here some blankets for the night." After giving the blankets he walked back upstairs, but before leaving completely he said. "Qrow don't let your relationship with Ozpin blind you to who he is and from getting to your goal…..goodnight." Qrow looked into his glass of frustration.

As he swirled his drink his reflection appeared from the waves and like a hallucination there appeared strings on him that controlled what he did. He looked a bit closer and Ozpin appeared behind him holding out his hand moving it with strings attached. Qrow put the glass down and went straight to bed.

After I left Minatos house I was real upset like…...I can't even put it into words. Well even if Qrow does follow me I will know from both Aura pulse and Aura Echolocation I'll think about this later.

So my plan is to go to the Monastery and get a bit of training and the new lessons that they said they we're gonna teach me when I come back, if I was more attuned with Aura and let's face it I'm getting even better with Aura. After that I'm going to Silverkeep.

I'll make it to the Monastery in a day, yeah I got that much faster. With Air Dust that makes my speed increase by a massive amount and my legs pumped filled with Aura. Still every Grimm I come across I slaughter in seconds, they'll never get past me. The weird part was all of them were heading in one direction, I smelled a battle coming soon and guessed Dovahkiin's Warning was right. With my luck I'll probably be in the middle of it.

Day 93 of 720 Before Earth's Death

Going 40 miles per hour I got their way earlier than I thought. The night has passed and the beginning of morning started to appear. I walked to the gate that protected the monks from the outsiders with symbols all over it. I walked up to it and held up my yellow amulet. It's a new one because I am with the Monks now, not a candidate.

The doors opened by themselves and I walked in and as I was about to get to the building. Two of the monks came around the corner. It was Gyatso and Oshua. They greeted me and we had a good chat.

Not having a lot of time, we entered the Time Chamber and continued our chat in there. We came to an agreement that I've passed the intermediate levels of Aura so we started to go after the Master level shit.

Hours Later

In a meditation position I focused, but as I did it unconsciously flexed my arms. "Andres you need to breathe more and no flexing your muscles." Gyatso said as he hit me with a stick to "Motivate" Me more.

"Mmmmmm" I ignore the sting and focus on my soul, instead of letting my extra Aura that I can't contain leave I used my Aura and took a hold of it and created a new shield around my body. It wouldn't defect physical attacks, but mental attacks. The shit I haven't fought against yet, but am very afraid of.

Slowly I started to flex again. This time I got a smack to the head. "You're working on your soul, not your body so stop flexing."

Getting a little annoyed I say. "What if I'm flexing, there's nothing bad about that?" I said questionly

He shaked his head and said, "This is because your focus isn't entirely on the soul. You need to have complete focus on your soul to protect it from mind control and possessions." Dammit he's right I need to have complete focus, and to be honest I don't want to be someone else's puppet.

Day 95 of 720 Before Earth's Death

Six days later, but really two because of the Time Chamber. After four days of constant focus on my soul I got to a point that I can run around while having my mental shield up, Gyatso said it would get easier over time as I used it like everything else. The other two days he gave me lessons for different techniques to replenish your Aura faster. 1. Is meditate and increases the Aura flow of your soul so Aura comes faster 2. Is a extreme way, but in a pinch is the best, instead of relying on your Aura you use your Aura to grab Life's Aura and make it into your own. That's fucking incredible, but their's a rule, you have to stave off Nature's intent.

Which means every thing that the Aura I absorb comes from. I need to defend myself mentality from its intentions whatever they are, pretty much it's a competition of Wills and if I lose I could become one with nature which means I die. Gyatso said it in that way.

I was taking a short break and as I flowed my Aura through my body I was relieved I could take some of my techniques and push them further. "So is there a next level of Aura palm?'' I immediately asked to see if someone already did it.

Gyatso looked at me and said, "Yes, but it's useless in battle, but invaluable to stopping a single attack that will kill you or the people around you." That sounds useful in a bad way.

"How does it go?" I ask to get every move under my belt, while I might be stronger than others. That's not where I shine the most, my creativity is my versatility and that's what turns the tides of battle fast.

He gets up and gets into a stance and shows how to do it while he demonstrates. "Same as Aura palm, but do both hands at the same time and gather all of your Aura. When it's all there expands your Aura so it extends past your body and creates a bubble shield that protects however it is in said shield." That is awesome for saving people, but it would take too much Aura.

"Sounds useful in rescues." I said getting up and stretching.

"It is now time to try it." He said. Wooooh more training.

One Hour Later

"Fuck, I'll get it soon." I say as I try again and again to get it right. Frustration started to kick in.

Four Hours Later

"Fuck why can't I get it.'' I said getting really annoyed like table tossing annoyed.

Gyatso over at the coffee table drinking some tea in the chamber said calmly. "Andres you can't expect your learning everything in just take a couple of hours it takes years to even understand its concept, while I know for you it normally takes hours to learn these techniques, but something it takes more time.'' I started to do a breathing practice. They taught me to calm down and I understood what Gyatso said.

I guess I'm expecting too much from myself, learning a practice that takes years to learn, but expecting it to come to me in hours. I need to turn my ego down, it's been getting too big for my comfort.

Day 97 of 720 Before Earth's Death

Over the past 6 days I improved my techniques and I finally got my Aura bubble up, barley. The red shield that symbolized my Aura only expanded in a 2ft radius.

I look over to Gyatso using one of the Dust tables to mix Dusts together to create unique Dust. Since I came back I really have been wanting to tell Gyatso about the incident over Mount Helios.

The power of two different Dust going through me, it felt like I could have bent the World to my will. I need that power if I want to save my World. "Hey Gyatso, back then I was in a big fight and in the moment I did something stupid….I absorbed the enemies Dust while having my own in my body already. I know it's against the first rule….." I tried to explain before he got upset. I wasn't fast enough.

He got up fast and stomped over angry, I haven't ever seen him as angry as he was now. His face burned red and he yelled. "You idiot, do you want to die, that isn't compatible with our bodies!" I know he wasn't yelling just because of my stupidity, but because he cared for my well being, but it's still a kick in the ass to be yelled at by a friend.

"I know Gyatso, but I controlled it for a bit and I was able to fight with it. This could be one of the keys for my victory." I knew I was being naive and ignorant of the Warning the Monks gave me of using two Dust at the same time.

He pointed at me and said. "Do you really want to walk this path, because if you do you won't Live. I know I say that a lot, but this is the thing even the craziest of monks don't do."

I closed my fist and kept going until my Aura flared and said. "I was so strong that not even a few of the strongest in this World could stop me, Gyatso I need it. I need it to save everyone." I know this was incredibly dangerous, but what have I done that hasn't been dangerous.

"Fine, I'll teach you." He said getting closer as he made certain gestures and hand signs like it was straight out of naruto.

As he got to me he closed his hands together and applied pressure for a minute and then opened it. It was a luminous glowing pink flower. As I looked closer to see the flower Gyatso blew at the flower making the petals fly straight towards my face. In an instant I knocked out, but I heard mudders as I was in a black void. "The truth will come to you, …. Secrets will open your mind, for now rest for your trial awaits."

Day 99 of 720 Before Earth's Death

After a good couple of days training the day finally came. It was the final night and I decided to have dinner with Gyatso and his family. Yato, Aang, and Gyatso. I would have talked to the other monks, but they had things to do, good thing all of them came to see me when I was in the time chamber.

Aang was a good kid and he went to go catch some fireflies, something I never did as a kid. He caught none and I did, but didn't tell him so he wouldn't get jealous. He got tired and fell asleep. It was sunset and me and Gyatso and Yato were having dinner.

"Gyatso you sad I'm leaving tonight." I said as I was eating their bean soup. They're vegetarians so no meat, God I'm a typical shonen main character. What's more unoriginal than loving to eat meat.

Gyatso looked a little sad as he said. "No, the beans are burnt."

Behind him cooking some fruits for dessert a mad woman said loudly. "What you say!" You know one of those moments when you fear for your friends life yeah that was this moment.

Gyatso looked at his soup and fearfully said. "Nothing dear, the beans are wonderful." Good save Gyatso, you were about to sleep on the couch tonight.

I start laughing at that little movement. "Hahahah, seriously when I grow older I hope I can have a life like this." I said, being really hopeful, what I can't be doom and gloom all the time.

Yato turned around and poured me another bowl of bean soup and said confused. "You want to grow old and wrinkly, really I'd like to keep my beauty." Women and their looks, their personality is always the thing I look for, I want a strong independent woman that can take my shit and deal it back.

I push the bowl of beans away a bit and grab my glass of milk and say. "Kinda, but with someone I love." That came straight out of my heart, funny thing is I once said that in front of the whole class and they all laughed at me saying that's lame.

Really I always wanted to find the one and you know tie the knot, wow is that going to be hard after this whole dilemma.

Yato gave me a genuinely happy smile and said, "That's very sweet Andres." I smiled for the complement and thought of the future I could have.

After this whole World ending thing I want a farm away from the World and to have my wife and kids there, them not having to deal with the World's problems and me being a strict, but good father I always wanted to be. I want to be there for my kids every step of the way. Now all I gotta do is find that special someone.

Gyatso spoke up with a somber tone and said. "That is, but the way you live life right now…...you'll never get that." He gave me a strict glare telling me to speak up.

The tension in the room skyrocketed. Yato knew a serious talk was about to happen and with 60 years of wisdom in her belt she quietly slipped away, she knew the men could handle their little talks.

Not willing to agree with what he said, I say. "I'll do it after my mission."

His glare intensified as he got angerier. "What happens if your mission ends with your life?" Gyatso I think about that everyday, I just don't want to think about it. It hurts to know that I have to sacrifice every fiber of my being to save everyone, but I'm the one left to die, after everything I've done.

Its stupid, but I want a reward, just something good in life. Really I'd take anything, even a hug from my dad.

I looked at my milk and a single tear fell. "Then I done fucked up." I said in a low cracky voice as I thought more about it.

Gyatso let up and said. "Remember Andres, live life, you're human like everyone else."

I can't be right now, my World needs a Hero not a crybaby teen that cries at every emotion he feels. "I'll be human when I can, but not now, this World needs a Warrior." I fully gave into this way of thought and practically nothing would get me out of it.

He looked saddened at my answer and said, "Being human doesn't make you weak Andres, truly it makes you stronger beyond your wildest dreams." I would love to believe that, but anime logic and the power of friendship isn't gonna save people, because only I can.

I very quietly say. "I'll try Gyatso, but the mission comes first."

A tense silence comes over the both of us and in an awkward way Gyatso cuts the tension. "So Silverkeep, you're quite the Hero there."

Trying to not say in the gloom mood I say jokingly. "I think at least or they still remember that I knocked down a big building while I was there." Yeah they did not give me much shit when I was there for that. Then again I was always working on their wall or training.

"Probably the latter," He said, taking a sip from his tea.

Thinking of the settlements I remembered the message I gave to Minato and Dovahkiin. "...Gyatso, a War's about to begin." I said ready for another tense conversation.

He nodded and said. "I know, the air is tense with the feeling of a looming battle, why do you bring it up?" He knew, well the monks are spiritually attuned with life so I guess they can feel the uneasiness.

I put down the empty glass of milk and looked straight at Gyatso with a straight face and said. "Because I'm going to start it.'' I got a reaction I never thought would happen.

He looked straight at me, not surprised. Instead he had pure anger. His face contorted with anger.

It was something I never seen before from him, he was always a chill guy. "Andres, I'll smite you here where you sit if you mean to bring my people into this War." Instead of being in the presence of a teacher I was hit by a wave of fear. Fear of my own teacher destroying me.

I knew the answer to his question, but I slowly got it out. "...I was thinking about it, but I forgot you're here for peace and you already found it. The War isn't with humans, but with the Grimm. They're migrating right now and from what I learned over my travels they don't do that. They're planning something behind the scenes." I know Salem's behind this, but what is is she planning?

His anger decreased tremendously as he said. "You wish to destroy the Grimm."

With a half truth I said. "I do, they stop this World from becoming truly peaceful." Is it really a half truth? It is a step towards my goal.

"..." Gyatso stayed quiet thinking.

He's on the fence, time to sell it. "While I think you'll decline, but I beg you when the time is right please help me to bring this World into a new age where we can live freely." I'm not lying, I will bring this future, but that's not my goal.

He looked down and said. "I cannot give any promises, everyone here wishes to stay away from the outer World and its problems." His voice was filled with resolve like he already decided. He's a family man. I know what he chose already, the thing is I probably would have chosen the same thing.

wanting to push a little harder I say knowing if I fail. "Their problems would become yours if they fall.'' Right now humans are all over the World and the Grimm are so far apart they don't seem so big of a threat, but when the World falls and they're the only one standing the small threat becomes an unstoppable force.

He sat quietly breathing normally. Wow Ten minutes ago we were talking about our crushes when we were kids, guess I bring tension with me. "..." As we both sat quietly letting the tension of our important conversation dissipate.

My scroll starts ringing from an alarm I put to not be late to Silverkeep. That's my queue that it's time to go. "I think it's time for your departure." Gyatso said as he got up and walked over to the bowls of food and started to pack some in some tin foil.

I get up too. "Yeah it is." I am a little sad that my time here was so short. As I walk over to Gyatso, Yato comes back out to say her goodbye.

As I get to my mentor and friend he hands me a tin foil wrapped food for my travels, yeah I kinda left my bag with Qrow because of the heat of the moment.

As we walk out he says. "Andres remember all of the teachings and maybe you'll be able to learn the ultimate Aura technique and maybe make your own." Ultimate Aura techniques, that sounds epic.

As we get outside to their porch I say. "What does it do, shoot laser beams or bend reality to my will?" I exaggerate a bit to get us into a good mood before I leave.

He shook his head like I was an idiot and said incryptivly. "No nothing like that, let's just say it levels the playing field."

Wow he got my hopes up, I'm pretty sure if he says is right I'll just make my own ultimate Aura techniques. "Lame, thank you Gyatso for everything and you too Yato." I said really grateful that I got to train and have a little of the normal life.

"Thank you too Andres, you bring an atmosphere of safety when you're here." Said Yato, I thought I brought the opposite when I'm around.

"Later I'll come by sometime." I said as I popped an Air Dust and disappeared from their vision, love being fast.

Gone from sight Yato sees Gyatso with a frown and goes over to him and hugs him while rubbing his shoulder worryingly and says. "Honey you alright." She heard it all, she understood where Andres was coming from and she wanted to help him.

"Conflicted, that's it." He said, grabbing her hand and kissing her forehead as they went inside.

With a Warm smile she says. "Hey don't worry about it right now. You know you always make the right decision when the time comes."

Day 100 of 720 Before Earth's Death

Like I said to Qrow, I'd meet him at Silverkeep. I just got there before our Bullhead, which landed at 1PM, so I ran for 14 hours straight and I was tired. Qrow came off pretty calm, nothing like how heated we both were back at Minato's house.

The Bullhead's next departure time was tomorrow at 5 PM, kinda excited to see Clover and everyone at Kakariko.

Immediately getting with Qrow we headed to the Mayor's office, time to greet my friend Elixir. AKA the mayor.

Knowing the way I headed there without a misstep. I went in without asking and passed by a bored secretary. I got to his door and I opened it and he was their head in hand while the other was signing papers, guess being Mayor isn't that glamorous.

He saw me and greeted me with a massive smile and said let's go get a drink, dudes using me to get out of work.

Without missing a beat we went to the bar in the middle of the evening. It was a little awkward because Yin was the one to serve us. I apologized again for that day and she said it was not a problem.

We got drinks and talked about the recent news. Which was me or Ryuu, dude loves that he made the name. In other news a bunch of Beacon girls are fighting crime in the city.

Turns out crime over there is at its lowest ever, suspicious. I told him what happened on my adventure and of course I kept some secret. He gave me a very detailed course of his career of being Mayor.

It turns out he's been doing good by the citizens and they love him, but his health been declining a bit. He's also been taking out all of the laws Ebony put in place when she was here, she legalized a lot of things to make her operations go smoother. Also Ebony went to Vale's maximum security prison after I left, bitch deserves worse. Like torture.

After that we got serious and I gave him the same message about the War I gave to everyone else. He nodded and commented about the Grimm situation. All Grimm attacks stopped all over Sanus and the Grimm seems to be migrating.

The good part is the Council of shitheads sent Huntsmen to every town and settlement to protect them, the bad news is the CCT Towers around the Vale area stopped working. The Villages can communicate with each other, but with Vale was impossible. He told me nothing like this has ever happened and it was very coincidental with the migrating Grimm.

He thought of conspiracy after conspiracy. After our drinks I took him to his house AKA office to sleep, he was hammered and tired of work. Like last time, me and Qrow slept in the lobby of the mayor building.


Pyrrha

She is one of a kind. Talented beyond belief and not just that she pushed that talent as much as possible, she holds her belief with iron strong resolve and most importantly she is selfless.

A Hero you could say. Someone who will save people. Someone who very easily sacrifices themselves for the greater good.

"Pyrrah, may I speak with you." I said a unbenounced pyrrha who was in a jumpsuit.

Surprised to hear her Principle behind her, she turned around and saud."Oh Headmaster, I was going to the gym." In her hand was a duffle bag filled with workout accessories.

"Yes I can see that, but I need to speak with you about something only you can solve."

Like any Hero she needs to know the situation enough to sacrifice herself to stop it.

'Only' she can save the Fall Maiden.


Day 101 of 720 Before Earth's Death

Me and Qrow woke up and got ready to leave. Before I left I went and gave Elixir a goodbye and we headed to the bullport for our travel. We forgot that it was scheduled at 5 PM so we just waited there eating shit bullport food, seriously it was disgusting and I've eaten rotten M. .

While we were waiting people who knew me came up to me to get pictures and just to talk, they were here the day of the attack so they don't know me from the news.

Good news, the news still doesn't have a face to go with the name Ryuu and the images of people think I look like are awesome.

I mean some guy gave me a picture of how people think I looked like and it was unreal. The picture detailed me as a hardened 20 year old with piercing red eyes with a sharp jaw, by far all I could call this picture of me was handsome. It looked nothing like me.

Qrow after the 15th guy who came up to me started to get annoyed, dudes just jealous. At some point after hours of waiting a guy finally recognized Qrow and it was adorable, Qrow was stuttering and being really polite, he's only nice to people who admire him.

How come he isn't nice to me. After waiting so long the flight was finally open and I was the first to get on.

It wasn't like the last Bullhead with me being last. It didn't have the airplane seating, instead it had just seats on the sides of the Bullhead which left a lot of space in the middle of the plane. We waited for the people to get on and after a good while the boarding stopped and the flight took off. Going to meet the wizard of Oz, still is he a wizard?

It was a quiet flight, nobody talked and most were asleep. There were like 50 people on the flight. I was about to go to sleep until a kid pointed at Qrow and said angrily. "Look, it's a Huntsmen." On instinct I tensed up then I realized it was a kid. Must be admiring Qrow, he is a pretty famous Huntsmen.

The kid was about 10 years old. He wore normal kids clothes and the man next to him which I assume is his dad. I looked at the kid's face and my heart stopped.

The dad's eyes go wide open and looks at the kid and says in a quiet whisper. "Henry, shush!" I started to breathe deeply as I saw the kid.

Qrow looked away knowing what was coming. "..." The fucking kid looked like my nephew Ezilkil.

The kid looked even angrier and said, "You probably think you're above the rest of us don't you. That you're so selfless that other people can't compare." I quickly calmed myself down and tried to rationalize this kid isn't him. Oh shit. Does Qrow know him or something or does this kid not like Huntsmen.

The dad got really pissed and said. "Henry enough!"

Qrow still looking away kept his mouth shut, it's for the best you don't want to be arguing with a kid. "..."

I quickly before I started crying I shut down my emotions to not just burst out in tears and hug my nephew's doppelganger. The kid slowly started to cry and stutter as he spoke. "Do you ever think how absolutely selfish you are by being a Huntsmen, your family has to live with the thought of you dying everyday because you want to seem Heroic. And after when you do die you leave behind a shattered family." I knew exactly what the kid was talking about. The kid was saddened by this, maybe someone in his family died being a Huntsmen, could explain why he's against Huntsmen so much.

Qrow stopped looking away and faced the kid and stayed silent. "..." I think Qrow is getting pissed.

The kid seeing Qrow actually acknowledges him, gets us and starts pointing at him and screaming with a cracky puberty voice. "You're a glory seeker aren't you, it's all for fame and money. You don't care about the people do you, no, I already know because how can you care about us if you don't care about your family enough to not be a Huntsmen." I looked at Qrow and saw a vein pop out of his neck, he must be getting hit hard. At this point the whole Bullhead was just staring at the kid screaming.

The dad had enough and grabbed his kid by the hand and pulled him back and said quietly. "Stop talking or you're not getting into that private school!" The kid stopped and the dad looked back at us and said. "I'm so sorry, he has….bad experiences with Huntsmen." I know I can tell.

"No problem." Qrow said calming down, guess Qrow has a touchy spot for family.

Jesus that was out of nowhere. I once in a while got another look at my nephew. Every Time i saw his face my heart hurt. I wanted so long to see anyone for my world, but right now I can't. I'm in the middle of Grimm territory so no emotions.

I tried to ignore the kid so I looked at my clothes admiring the work, then the Bullhead started to shake and a noise above us was heard throughout the Bullhead. Qrow and me immediately got up and one other guy too, he was the Bullhead security Huntsmen.

As I got closer, the metal ceiling opened up, two talons grabbed both pieces of metal and ripped open the Bullhead out to the World, the air pulled out papers inside the Bullhead.

In an instant I jumped into the griffon and sliced its head off in a single strike with my Longsword. Knowing that isn't all of them I get on top of the Bullhead. With my Thread I put safety harnesses on myself and stab the metal roof of the Bullhead just in case I slip so I don't fall off to my death. I looked around as I felt my heart drop.

Throughout the sky every flying Grimm you can think of was there. The entire sky was practically black from all of the Grimm only specs of the blue sky could be seen, their hundreds of thousands out here. Is this where all the grimm are migrating to?

Most were far out looking like black dots because of the distance, but some were close. The Grimm closest to us looked at us and came with a vengeance. I grabbed Erebos and unleashed its black hellflame. Within a second the closest Grimm were ashes, but the fire didn't go far because of how fast we were going.

I kept going letting loose wave after wave of fire trying to keep the Grimm from getting at us, slowly they gained ground as they got closer. The hard part was some Grimm went under us and came from behind making the situation 5 times worse. At some point Qrow and the other guy got up with me and both had the 50. Cals and helped me out, they hand mine and with my Thread I used it to have an extra gun to keep them back. We started to push them back and most Grimm started to ignore us. Seriously what the fuck, last time the Bullhead Warned us with a alarm that Grimm were near what happened to it.

Like a breath of fresh air I relaxed a bit.

The Universe didn't like that, at that very second a serpent Grimm with wings came from under the Bullhead out of our sights and smashed through the right wing completely ripping it off.

The Bullhead started to beep and fell from no power and no balance. I looked inside and everyone put on their seat belts and both Qrow and the other Guy got down and did the same. Dammit, Dammit. Only the people with Aura would survive. I read all about it in the papers when I had time. I can use my Thread and use Dust to…..wait Aura Bubble. That's the answer.

Without a second thought I filled both of my hands with every ounce of my Aura and like how I practiced a red Aura shield started to surround me and slowly expanded. It wasn't fast enough and my Aura was almost empty and it only covered half of the Bullhead.

With urgency I closed my eyes and sensed the Aura around me. Slowly with pure Willpower to not let the people on this Bullhead die I absorbed the Aura in the air. As my Aura replenished thoughts of death and enticing voices that told me to rest with them came to me, in the moment it didn't really affect me at all and I kept going. The ground got closer every second and the bubble shield was about to be finished. With a final push to make the bubble bigger the Aura buble completely surrounded the Bullhead and not a millisecond later we crashed straight into a horde of awaiting Grimm.

God save us.
