"Cardin Winchester, Russel Thrush, Dove Bronzewing, Sky Lark, you acquired the black Bishop pieces. From this day forward you shall be team CRDL. Lead by Cardin Winchester." Ozpin announced, they all bowed then left the stage.
Jaune and his team took the stage "Jaune Arc, Nora Valkyrie, Pyrrha Nikos, Lie Ren, You four collected the white rook pieces, as such from this day forward you shall be team JNPR, lead by Jaune Arc." Ozpin announced.
"What me really?" he was shocked.
"Congratulations young man." The headmaster conformed the truth.
Pyrrha punched him in the shoulder knocking him over to much of the amusement of the rest of the students.
They stepped to the side as Ruby, Wiess, Blake and Yang took the stage leaving me alone backstage with Fenris, my spell had worn off but I had let him know that for now I can't talk to him for a while.
"Ruby Rose, Wiess Schnee, Blake Belladonna And Yang Xiao Long. You recovered the white knight pieces, as such from this moment forward you will be known as team RWBY, Lead by Ruby Rose." Ozpin made the last team official.
"I'm so proud of you!" Yang exclaimed as she hugged her sister. They then moved off the stage.
"I would like to Call upon the student who arrived at the ruins alone, Miss Alexa Bowie Fal'catta." Ozpin called me up.
I was alone on the stage with Fenris. Beaten and bruised, still a little buzzed, I had a crop top on as Yang had said it was. My ribs were still broken but they were't jutting out any more, the magic mead could only do so much, I was was wrapped from the shoulder's down to my stomach, Fenris stayed close to my legs.
"You retrieved the dust sword, as the solo student you found a unique ally in the form of that wolf, dose he have a name?" Ozpin asked.
"His name is Fenris." I winced, the adrenaline was long gone.
"You finished this with broken ribs." He was building me up, why?
I go to hand him the relic, "No keep it, you may need it."
"Thank you sir." I place it in my belt.
"You are to chose your team... Who do you trust most." the entire school gasped... this was a first.
I looked at the teams that have been formed but there was one I knew more than any. "I choose team RWBY."
They came up and joined me on stage. "You shall now be Team RWBBY, Ruby Rose, Wiess Schnee, Alexa Bowie Fal'catta, Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long." We all hugged as we took our seat. "This is shaping up to be a very interesting year." Ozpin's words echoed around me dimly as we sat down... this would be a fun year.
Author's note I've done some research about the swords that I described Alexa to wield and found That I gave a basic description of a pair of Polish Karabelas. They were used by Polish mounted warriors, this fact is brought to you by my over active information guzzling mind. Enjoy the story.
Chapter 4: Classes
I was asleep in my bed when a loud whistle woke me up I fell off and rolled into Wiess who had also been woken up by the same noise. We glared at Ruby in the exat same moment."Good morning team RWBBY!" she was way to energetic this early in he morning.
"Ruby what are you doing!?" The two of us demanded from the cold floor.
"Now that you two are awake we can begin with the first order of business." Ruby was way too happy for this early in the morning.
"Decorating." Yang said while holding a lot of odds and ends
"We still need to unpack..." Blake held up her suit case and it opened spilling out it's contents onto the floor, "... and clean."
We stood up and Ruby blasted the whistle again and our ears rang. Wiess, Blake, Alexa, Yang and their fearless leader of team RWBBY! BANZAI!"
"BANZAI!" the other two yelled after her and they all had a single arm up.
"Weiss... what have we gotten ourselves into?" I ask her.
"At least your sensible." She was sincere about that.
I didn't really have much more than my clothes and my gear, but the others had all sorts of things, from book to a full painting, Blake seem to hide her books from us... I wonder why? When all was said and done we were left with a pile of five beds.
"This isn't going to work." Weiss was the first to speak.
"We do have a lot of stuff." Blake pointed out.
"Don't look at me all I have is school supplies, weapons, clothes, and special items." I really did have the least stuff.
"Yeah... you have some explaining to do." Weiss was still confused about my mead from the forest.
"Maybe we should ditch some of it?" Yang asked.
"Or we could ditch the beds..." and she was starting to get exited, "... And replace them with bunk beds!"
"That sounds really dangerous." Weiss pointed out.
"And Super awesome!" Yang was in support of the concept.
"It dose seem effective." Blake made three for it.
"Whats a bunk bed?" I was more than confused.
"Um yeah... its a bed on top of a bed..." Weiss said.
"What if your sleeping on top and roll off... or the frame breaks?" I was not for this.
"We have five beds so you can sleep on the normal bed." Ruby told me.
"Well we should put it to a vote." Weiss was hoping for a different idea.
"I think we just did." Yang crushed that dream.
Blake Ding
Yang Ding
Weiss Buzz
Ruby Ding
Alexa Hrmmm
We rushed to fix it and when we finished we had a two extremely dangerous but surprisingly safe bunk beds and mine sat in the middle in prim roll off territory of the landing zone.
"Okay now onto our second matter of business which is..." she spun around and some how landed on her bed, "... classes, we have a number of classes together, first we have one at 9 o'clock."
"Wait did you just say 9 o'clock?!" Weiss was alarmed.
"Hummmm?" Ruby was clearly not happy with the interruption.
"It's 8:55 you dunce!" She ran out of the room leaving the rest of us behind.
"T... TO CLASS!" Ruby ran out and team Jnpr across the hall scrambled behind us, I faintly heard Jaune yell crap.
It wasn't until we got to last class that I had realised that Fenris had followed me all around and despite Professor Ports protests he fell asleep his desk.
I tried to pay attention to his story but it sounded so much like my fathers hunting stories that he would tell me to get me fall asleep as a child that I was nodding off, my father would like this man.
"Now who among you believe yourself to be the true embodiment of a true Hunter?" Weiss's hand shot up.
"I do sir!" she sounded angry... why?
Okay I'll admit I went to the wash room while she had her fight... why were they so far away? As I was coming back to class I came across Ozpin with Ruby heading back to the dorms with Fenris.
"Oh Hi Ozpin is everything alright with my team?" I was concerned.
"Things will settle but I have to ask you something in my office.
"Alright."
When we got there I was amassed by the room. "How... how is this possible?" The shear size of the gears, how quite they were and the size of the glass panes.
"As expected architecture is vastly different, from your home." He smiled as I sat in a chair.
"Yes it is but I'm guessing that's not why I'm here?" I refocused on Ozpin.
"Correct." he sat back in his seat behind his desk that was just a mechanical as the rest of his room.
"Why am I here?" I was still confused by the gears around me and wanted to study them.
"Tell me about the drow." his straight forward question baffled me.
"What?"
"Your people the drow... if they were to come here what would happen?"
"They would murder every last man,woman and child."
"Why?" he already knew the answer.
"To please the demon goddess Loth, Queen of spiders, my mother." My arm ached where she had marked me.
We discussed further about my and the implications of it in this world. "Do I try to hide my power?"
"No... At one point we will try to connect with your world... but act like its your semblance until then. By the way have you filled in the rest of your team?"
"Blake and Weiss? No not yet... I'm worried that I'll sound insane." I was truly concerned about this.
"Very well, this weekend you all shall meet here and you will explain to them your past." he then proceeded to dismiss me back to my dorm.
As I walked into the the dorm Weiss pulls me back into the hallway. "You can't sleep in class." That is all she said.
"Sorry I but my father would tell me similar stories for me to fall asleep as a child... force of habit." I moved to enter the room.
"Also... Your not from Remnant?" That's when I noticed the concern in her eyes.
"How did you..." I was going to ask.
"Pocket dial as well as Ruby and Yang. Why didn't you tell us?"
"I... the world I'm from... it is less advanced... there are more dangerous threats then the grimm... more races... more kingdoms."
"And the drow?" she lets me into the room as the others watch me.
"The drow... their pure evil... there are a few exceptions...but there are so many cities of them... and they practice drow sacrifice... in order to please my blasted birth mother the spider Goddess Loth..."
I explain my past... my true age... my magic... the people I have seen killed... the people I've saved... my home... my family.
"Alexa... you... I... how?" Weiss was stumped.
"Magic flows through me... I use magic in battle... my acts... healing... but I haven't fully regained my power."
"How much magic power do you have?" Blake asked.
"As a bard... not much, I do have more than most... I am mostly support but I do have a plethora of combat spells... but I cant take a hit... as we saw during the initiation." I winced from a twang of pain from my ribs.
"Soooo... is your aura activated?" Weiss asked trying to stay on a subject she understood.
"No. And I'm not sure that I want to... we don't know that I even have a aura... I'm not even mortal... I'm a demigod... for all I know I'm immortal." Curled up in a ball the very thought hitting me... I was the child of a goddess. "And if I did... what power could I have... more than likely my mothers blood in me will affect my power... I don't want her power."
"Very rarely do the previous generations powers affect the next." Weiss sat next to me.
"I'm still worried." shaking as Sat on the other side of me and wrapped me in her embrace.
"We know... I know you'll find your way home... I bet you friends and family are working hard to get to you."
Meanwhile...
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE HAVE TO SUMMON EVERY SINGLE DEMON LORD TO GET A PIECE OF THE RITUAL TO SUMMON LOTH!?" Fargnar bellowed at Tereatoa.
"No I said we have to summon every Balor to get the information to summon the the Demon lords to summon Loth, and to summon them we have to summon a uncountable amount of lesser devils to get that info and before that every damn imp."
"GGGGGRRRRRAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Well that is a comforting thought... if it wasn't for the fact that their personalities only worked together while I was there... I have to hope our allies are helping them..."
"Hey your here right now Alexa." Ruby held me tighter.
"I know." I opened up from my ball.
"Alexa... are you gonna be fine here?" Blake asked.
"Yes... but I can't stay here, this isn't my home..." I pulled Ruby off of me and and scratched Fenris's ears as he came over to me.
"Hey let's focus on that when we have to." Yang said, "but for now sleep."
I hated that night the nightmares made no sense.
I was running through Mythral Hall but the stone was melting away behind me, the dwarfs didn't see what was happening and burst into flames.
Then I was battling an army of drider as they ate my friends, the half drow half spider monstrosities of Loth smelled like death.
I then found myself on a sea of blood, ghouls reaching out for my boat, pulling chips away.
Then the sea drained and found myself face to face with a high elf her, she was just an entire pallet swap from me...
"Your nothing more then a child of Loth, your a disgrace to the title of demigod, you devil spawn. I can't believe that I can be categorised with you! ME! A daughter of Hanali the elven goddess of love." She scolded me
"You know nothing of me!" I drew my weapons, but she was go replaced by a drow holding a small moon.
"Ignore her child... Your nothing like your mother." she sat in a silver throne.
"Your...Eilistraee!" I was in awe the only good drow goddess, she over saw all who foresoke Loth's teaching, even if they didn't follow her.
"I don't need your admiration just follow your heart... to where ever it leads you and whom ever it guides you to love." She glided over to me, "Your just as much my daughter."
"But... I have Loth's blood in my veins."
"No its your blood, not your father's and certainly not your mothers, your's. But for now wake up.
I woke up in a cold sweat but I didn't remember mt dreams, I knew it was important... but my mind wouldn't remember no matter what.
Eventually I just fell asleep from exhaustion.
What did you think? TELL ME PLEASE!
