Chapter 9: The Secrets and Pain of Truth

It was finally over the days of boredom are done. I'm going back to Vale… Fidelis was actually pretty cool and wish he could come and stay but, he does train these shitty goons though. Now I hope I can relax in the air conditioner and just lay there. Me and 'my team' were going off on the bull head. We went to walk in but, before I walked in I put a sleeping band around my eyes so I can just relax and I won't have to see how high up we were.

I heard an explosion and bolted right up from my seat. Which was a dumb idea because I slipped and again I fell through the hatch. I don't know why everything feels like a rewind of my past events. This time though Neo felt like this would happen and she had parasol at ready and hooked my leg and pulled me. I was actually glad I didn't fall because we were in the middle of an ocean and I don't want to get eaten by Moby Grimm.

"Thank you~ " I said in a singing voice. She nodded and went to go look at what was the loud bang in the cockpit. She ran out the cockpit and opened the hatch, she grabbed the three of us and threw us out and she jumped out with us. I was shocked to see what happened and we were falling and everything went black for me.

Neo's Pov

I grabbed the boy and hugged him and opened up my parasol and we gently floated down toward a scarlet red forest. We landed onto a pile of red leaves, I placed him down and I went to look for Emerald and Mercury. I heard their voices and I went to call for them but, they were talking about Crimson. Mercury said, "Damn that kid. I wish Cinder didn't go that far with her trick that she was his mother."

"I know but, deal with it do you see how much power he has!" She silently screamed at Mercury.

"Fine but, we'll be able to kill him soon after he destroys Beacon from the inside." Mercury claimed through his sly grin.

I was shocked that I didn't know about this and ran to Crimson. I found him looking over the edge and looked depressed. I was worried for him. He looked at me with worried and eyes that lost hope, that lost its light. He looked saddened and I started to walk to him and He jumped off the cliff and said, "Thank You Neo I wish we could meet again."

He went by like a flash of red disappearing and I didn't see a trace off him. I went to my knees as I trebled and the first noise I've ever remembered, I made a sob and I felt something wet dripping of my cheeks down to my chin. They were tears I haven't cried in a long time, the feeling of despair I didn't know what to do. It felt like someone shot me and stabbed in the heart. I wanted to try and tell him how I felt, how I was glad I met him, I wanted to thank him. He was someone I don't think I will ever meet in 10 lifetimes.

Crimson's Pov

I woke up and saw Neo walking away and I thought it would be nice to scare her up above a tree and I heard everything Mercury and Emerald were talking about. The pain I felt in my chest was worse from when I lost my real mother. I needed to know the truth, if she really died or not, I always did wonder why my 'mom' wore red she was okay with red but, she never took off her clear white silky cloak. She gave me a red cloak she knitted because it was the sign of love, there were also a sign of death. I never thought much about it. After I heard the conversation I went over to look at the cliff and decided I'll train back at Beacon with new weapons and new appearance I will keep my old somewhere. I will use it when I knew the answers to my troubles. I decided to say good bye to my old life and I wanted a life that is full of friends and I wanted to be with my siblings. I will miss Neo but, when I'm ready I will try to find her and tell her something important. Before I fell to my knees in a dark alleyway I thought about the way I left Neo it was abrupt and she probably blamed herself. I wanted to learn something new adventures and missions I will deal with romance and mysteries when I'm ready or at least done with school so I can focus on my expeditions on finding my mother. I went on and found a box and put my Old Crimson outfit and Blood Moon into the box and tightly sealed it.

I went on to buy a black tailcoat and red contacts. I dyed my hair black with a few white highlights. I went on and went to a weapon shop and found a very expensive katana. The material was Vanadium a rare element found in the depths of Grimm Underground tunnels and finding this was perfect. He wasn't going to make it as flashy as Blood Moon and just added a spring lock hand cannon into the sheathe. I forgot to place my red ribbon that I wore when I was training at the cliff in the box, so I just wore it around my new black long-sleeved tailcoat. I then stood at the front of Beacon, ready to sign in once again.

I walked by and Team JNPR and Team RWBY with some security guards confronted me saying I was trespassing. I shrugged and the security guard shoved me back which ticked me off. I grabbed his arm and completely twisted his arm back and kicked him into the arms of another guard. Everyone looked at me in shock, like I just killed a man. "Relax he isn't dead. He just won't be able to use that arm for a long while." I nonchalantly say while looking up at the two moons one shattered and the other remaining in its beautiful form.

"Why would you do that?" The innocent Ruby asked as she trebled probably never seeing someone arm turn that way.

"He touched my newly bought outfit little missy…" I respond with a tone of anger. "Will you guys let me pass?"

"I'm sorry but, you might be working for the White Fang so we won't let you go through." The woman in white which is the Schnee.

"Oh but, you will Snow Angel all of you will regret it, if I don't pass." I commented on Weiss's answer.

A breeze gushed towards all of them as I grabbed the little red by the hood as she swung her scythe at me. I knew how to defend and disable a scythe wielders so I grabbed Ruby's Weapon and I unfolded it because it mechanics were so close to Blood Moon's so it was easy to wield it. I smashed the scythe of the edge as Ruby gasped and struggled as I inched the blades closer to the edge. I looked toward all of the students of the school. I through Ruby back and she was straight on her feet. She sprinted and used her semblance to try to get her scythe back but, my speed was now faster than Ruby's and because of the training my reflexes were increased tenfold. I grabbed my sheathed blade and stopped Ruby hitting her with my new weapon and she was grabbing her nose as it seemed I have hit her there.

The yellow beauty looked at me rage filled eyes and started to go on the defensive. She tried hitting me but, I dodged all her hits. I knew Yang's semblance so I just taunted and used some tricks Neo taught me and she couldn't get any power from my attacks. Everyone looked at me with fear in their eyes. I saw a glyph form under me and used my new formed weapon to dig into the ground and shot up into the sky. Ruby who seemed to have gotten her scythe back tried going on the offensive while the rest of Team JNPR and RWBY were attacking me I dodged because I knew hurting them was futile. I hurt one the rest become determined to kill me. I grabbed Ruby's Crescent Rose and used it to disarm Blake and Weiss. I threw the scythe up and appeared before yang and grabbed her Ember Celica and I learned how to disarm gauntlet type weapons to brass knuckles to Yang's two babies.

Team JNPR was a little easier except for little Miss Centurion. I grabbed Juane's shield and sword and threw it at the green Chinese themed outfit which caught him off-guard. I grabbed his two weapons and threw them into the ground which made a little sound boom from the impact it made into the ground. I dodged the pick themed girl's hammer and it hit Ren and embedded him into the ground and she dropped the hammer and tried picking her unconscious friend out of the ground. The Centurion put up a little fight but, I faked a punch and grabbed her shield and blocked her shots and threw the shield at her like it was a Frisbee.

I heard a sip of behind me and there stood a shocked woman in an intellectual combat dress which was the one and only Glynda Goodwitch. I looked over to her right and saw Ozpin and asked him, "Was that enough for an Entrance Exam?"

He looked at me with eyes of concern and told me for only one condition, "To keep violence and limb breaking to a minimal outside of a combat arena." "Also what is your name young man?"

"I'm Brisk Blade, S-s-sixteen Years old, and Species Human, also I want to enroll as a first year student." I responded with a slight hesitation of my age.

A/N: Well that escalated quickly. I kinda feel bad for Crimson. Will his new life be filled with the friends he wanted or enemies he didn't want? I had a bit, of writers block and I was stuck on the first paragraph for about a day until I took a cold bath and thought of a new way of making the story. I never intended to make Cinder his official mother but, People PM and they never really liked the idea of Cinder being a loving mother type and they talked me into how she would never be a mother type and I now agree. After watching what she was planning in Volume 3 Chapter 3 and what Qrow talked about the embodiment of fear he talked about. I changed my mind and now I feel like things will get really interesting in Beacon. Neo won't give up on Crimson though. I had fun writing the action scene in this one and it was really fun re-creating Crimson's new personality. He is still the innocent boy he is, but he is keeping up a façade to keep his new identity a secret. I really hope you enjoyed this and I'm going to post a new story about Ruby and I think you guys might like it. Hope you guys will find it great like I did, I am halfway done with its first chapter it's going to be called "…." You'll find out later. Thanks for reading!
