Chapter 2: The Initiation
A mansion in the middle of the countryside, sun rays shining on the grass, the sounds of the birds tweeting, Two kids with white hair, playing with wood swords, how old are they? seve, eight, maybe nine, a blonde woman in black and red watching them. The three…were happy, they laughed, they argued, they cried, it was a happy family.
Tony felt happy to see such a happy family, the woman called the kids, he couldn't hear the names, they were muffled, apparently one of the kids fell down and scraped his knees, he didn't cry though, he just laughed while the blonde woman tended his scraped knee. The other kid yelled at his brother for being so careless, then they continued playing, sadly enough, through all that Tony saw, he never saw the "Father".
Sadly, the good times came to an abrupt end, the flames engulfed the world, Tony saw the woman speaking to him, he couldn't understand what she was saying, then two big doors closed on him with small slits on it, the woman ran off, he couldn't see the kids; his blood run cold as he heard the woman scream in pain, then the laugher to finish seeing a reptilian like monster walking in front of him, his laughter was distorted, it was rough.
He wanted to scream but couldn't, he was covering his mouth, he was scared, no, he was terrified.
Ruby woke up, same as Yang, Blake and Weiss, they heard some noises so they looked around to see the one making the noises was none other than Tony, he was pale as his hair, shaking, sweating, he was mumbling in his sleep, he looked…terrified. The four girls walked over to him then looked around, no one else was awake, only the four of them.
"What's wrong with him?" Asked Blake a little concerned.
"Looks like he's still sick" Added Ruby.
"More like having a nightmare" Yang commented.
"Well, better wake him up or else i couldn't sleep, i mean, it's the middle of the night" Weiss complained as she walked over to him.
Weiss kneeled down and started shaking the man "Hey, wake up…" she didn't admit it, but was concerned too
Tony saw the monster, no, the demon in front of him turned around to face him, walking closer, the feeling of dread completely took over and he started shaking violently, he wanted to run but his legs didn't move.
"Hey, wake up" Weiss said while noticing that he was looking worse than before.
The demon kneeled over, he could see the crimson reptilian eyes, watching through the slits of the door, Tony closed his eyes, his heart started beating faster and faster, like it was trying to escape his chest, the hair from his lungs were lost completely then he remembered his gun.
"Hey, wake up!" Weis continued shaking the man.
Tony opened his eyes, still in his dream, with his left hand grabbed Weiss by the right shoulder with a strong grip and with his right hand he got his gun and put it in front of her forehead, it was done in an instant…then he pulled the trigger…nothing happened, he continue pulling the trigger. The girls looked at the man who in an instant did the action, at first they were scared, specially Weiss who had a gun to her head and the trigger was pulled multiple times but then they saw that the man was shaking uncontrollably, sweating heavier than before, gasping for air and in his eyes, his icy blue eyes, completly lost and in deep fear, in deep terror, he wasn't completly there, or there at all.
"Hey…Tony…?" Ruby broke the silence, concerned for his friend.
"Tony…put the gun down…" Weiss said, still scared "It's me, Weiss, the princess"
Hearing the words of Weiss, Tony snapped out of the trance He was, his vision gained clarity, He saw Weiss blue eyes then He saw what He was doing, his gun in her forehead, pulling the trigger, She was scared, he saw the other three girls, not as scared as Weiss, but still scared. Tony immediately dropped the gun, his breathing got heavier, he let Weiss go, he stared at his hand, shaking in fear, fear of himself. Tony lowered his head staring at the ground and put his hand over his face, covering it, what did He just do?!
"Hey, you okay?" Ruby was still concerned.
"Just…a bad dream…" Tony said, not looking at them.
"Come on, that doesn't seem like just a bad dream" Yang commented, also concerned.
"Just…a bad dream…" Tony repeated himself, trying to calm himself down.
"I have to agree with Yang, that wasn't…normal" Blake joined the conversation.
"Just a bad dream okay?!" Tony raised his voice.
No one said anything for a few seconds, Tony raised his head and looked Weiss in the eyes, She was still there. She didn't move, did He scare her so much that She couldn't move at all?
"I'm sorry Weiss…" Tony's voice was full of regret.
Tony stood up, grabbing the gun, holstering it then he walked outside "I need some damn air" he muttered.
Soon the girls found themselves alone again, everybody was still asleep, no one but the four of them saw what just happened, they couldn't avoid to look to each other, speechless, from the little they knew him, the guy wasn't like that, his normal expression was like mischievous but to see him like this.
"Tony…" Ruby broke the silence again.
"He looked like…" Weiss stood up "...A child scared. Holding for dear life"
"No kiddin'" Yang Looked at where he was sitting, the floor was wet from all his sweat.
"Most of the people that come to any of the academy had bad experiences with the Grimm" Blake spoke "Wouldn't surprise me that he went through something traumatic"
They decided they would talk with him later and went to sleep again, meanwhile, Tony kept himself walking aimlessly. He was still in shock because of the dream, what was it really? He remembers himself having similar dreams, two kids and a woman but this one, this one felt so real…the flames, the dread.
"Damn it…" He cursed.
He let himself fall into the grass, staring into the dark night sky and the broken moon, he felt as broken as the moon, a man with barely memories, trying to pick up the pieces of himself thanks to a nightmare, he couldn't avoid to laugh at himself; Tony wouldn't admit it but he was lonely, the only person he had was Nell but when Ruby got happy that he said he would be their friend he felt good but now he threw his chance away, what a good job.
He didn't move until the first rays of light started appearing, the day will start soon so he better give Goodwitch his report.
"Hey, how are you feeling Tony?"
Tony turned his head around "W-Weiss?!" Tony stuttered, feeling a drop of sweat on his neck.
"I see that you didn't expect me at all"
"Anyone on that matter" He shrugs "So, what are you doing here?"
"I want to ask some questions" She crosses her arms "But if i'm being honest, I'm here to check on you"
"Ask away" Tony closes his eyes.
"First, why did you carry a handgun around, we were told that we had to leave our weapons at the lockers" Weiss takes a small pause wondering if she is going to get any answers from him but decides to continue " Second, Who are you really and Third…what did you dream about?"
"Well babe…" Tony takes air, he did give her quite the scare, it would be only fair to answer the questions, she was checking on him anyway "It's has to do with my assignment, won't go into what my assignment is but one cannot be too careful with what I hunt, you never know when they'll appear"
"Grimm?" She asks, confused.
"Worse, but if i do my job well, you'll never encounter them" He says with full honestly "To you second question, name's Tony Redgrave and I'm a mercenary hired by Ozpin and new student here and before you ask, I'm not wanted or a criminal"
"I'm guessing you won't say more because of your assignments" Weiss scruffs.
"Kinda, but really, cannot say lots about me, Afterall, Tony Redgrave might not be my real name…" Tony's voice felt painful "I have amnesia after all, I just know that my family was killed"
"I see…" Weiss sounded a bit regretful now with what she asked "I'm sorry if my question…was out of place"
"Nah, don't sweat it" Tony shrugs it off "And to answer your third question"
Tony explained the dream he had to Weiss changing the demon part for a shadow, better if she didn't know about the existence of demons anyway.
"Well, that explains a lot" Weiss looked away, thinking that it was an awful dream "...maybe it was a memory?"
"Who knows?" Tony sits and looks at Weiss's eyes again "Weiss, look, i'm sorry if i scared you, i'm so sorry…"
Weiss sighed "You wanna make it up to me? drop the princess and we'll be even" She couldn't really be mad at him at the moment.
"Wha…Sure, won't call you princess again babe" Tony felt better, He was scared that he blew off his chances of friendship.
"And the babe too!" Weiss yells annoyed.
"Whatever Babe" Tony chuckles.
"Gosh, you are incorrigible" Even if she was annoyed she smiled.
The two of them parted ways, Tony went directly to Goodwitch office where he found her already waiting for him, He sat down in a chair and started explaining demons to her fully to the best he could.
"These demons are quite problematic, to think hunters would have such trouble fighting them" Glyda said reflecting on what Tony told her.
"Some of them can go through Aura and everything, they aren't a walk in the park I tell you" Tony pauses for a second "And they can feed of others aura too"
"So how do you fight these enemies?" Glyda is curious about the demon hunter.
"I'm just that good, lesser demons are quite dumb really" Tony takes a deep breath "They are not like a trained fighter but a higher demon and devils…You better run"
"Run?" Glyda seemed confused, how strong are higher demons and devils.
"Run, lose them and don't get killed because if they catch you" Tony raises his hand making a finger gun, aiming at Glyda "Game over, you are dead because they are far stronger than hunters, they surely see you as toys made of glass that shatters with the minimum strike.
"Have you fought…" She gulps "...Higher demons or devils?
"Haven't fought a Devil yet even though the sound of fighting one makes my blood boil in excitement" Tony chuckles giving a maniacal smile "But higher demons i have killed"
"How can you fight these monsters and just laugh"
"Lady, since i have a memory, i've fought demons, that's over six years of experience fighting an enemy that could be hiding in that shadow or posing as my best friend"
"Well, this is still a tough pill to swallow but I thank you for your assistance and your report" Glyda maintained her composure but Tony would notice her fear "We better start moving to the initiation"
The two of them leave in seperate ways, Goodwitch first needed to meet with the headmaster while Tony went for the rest of his weapons but his path was cut by a girl in black and white, Blake.
"You know, you have the sister worried, you holding up alright" Blake said.
"Define worried" Tony makes a pause "Yes, I'm doing better"
"Good to hear" Blake gives a small smile and his bow twitches a little, Tony notices "Won't pry in your business so i'll leave it like that"
"I appreciate it" Tony smirks "I won't do the same Kitten so don't worry"
He continued walking but he could see Blake a bit shocked, she was wondering if he figured it out and if he did. He's more perceptive than She thought but she could do the same because her instincts are telling her that he is hiding something and he smells like…death…
Soon Tony found himself in the locker room, he saw some familiar faces like Ruby, Yang, Weiss and the blonde guy but he also saw new faces like the guy in green and white with black hair with a purple streak on his left side.
There is also a redhead girl who has a dress of black and pink, her hair is short and orange, she appears to be bothering the poor guy in green, Tony wishes him good luck.
The last one he notices is another redhead, whose clothing is more like armor made for a warrior, her hair color was of a deeper red almost as close as the red of his jacket.
"Tony!" Someone said, obviously, Tony knows it's Ruby.
"Hey Little red hood" Tony chuckles.
"Hey handsome" Yang comes closer with Ruby to Tony "Feeling better"
"For the third time, yeah, I'm better" Tony says annoyed but he's happy
"Are you sure?" Ruby asks with concern.
"Yeah" Tony just answers while taking his gun and sword from the locker.
"OH! ARE THOSE YOUR WEAPONS?!" Ruby exclaims excitedly.
"Yeah, my two handguns and my sword"
"Does the sword change?!" Ruby asks with a shine on her eyes.
"Nope, just a simple sword" Tony deadpans.
"And the handguns…?" Ruby sounds a bit dejected now.
"Well, these two either but they are made by an awesome gunsmith that I know, this is actually her tenth try to make guns that i can handle my dance"
"I'm sure i can handle your dance pretty boy" Yang winks.
"Yang, stop it" Ruby interrupts her sister "So…nothing fancy eh?"
"Why so disappointed? The classics are great!" Tony Smirks.
They walked a bit, apparently, Ruby is quite the weapon nut and that is something that Tony can respect because He is also quite the weapon nut too.
They meet Weiss, the blond guy and the redhead warrior and they appear to be talking.
"Look who decided to appear" Weiss smiles at Tony.
"Can't get enough of me?" Tony Smirks.
"Ew, no, not going there" Weiss says disgusted.
"You guys know each other?" Says the blonde guy.
"Short story that I'm not going to get into, Name's Tony" Tony greets the blonde guy.
"I'm Jaune, nice to meet you" The guy now recognise as Jaune greets Tony
"And you babe, what's the name?" Tony says, wondering about the redhead warrior.
The sound of a jaw dropped, it was Weiss's Jaw that dropped in disbelief.
"You don't know her?!" She asks
"Should I?"
"This is Pyrrha Nikos! how you don't know her?!" Weiss started a speech about Pyrrha.
Tony didn't listen a lot because it was giving him a headache, he just heard, champion, tournament, four years in a row and cereal.
"Yeah, that's me, Hello" Pyrrha said cheerfully though she was a bit embarrassed.
"Well, good for you tho it sounds a bit of a pain, anyway girls and my dude, we gotta get going!" Tony leaves before Weiss can continue with her speech
They found themselves in a cliff close to the Emerald forest, there were some platforms and everyone was instructed to step in each one of them. Ozpin and Goodwitch were standing in front of them, Tony had a good feeling about this but he just crossed his arms waiting for them to start.
"For years, you have trained to become warriors and today, your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest" Ozin says, still with his mug in hand.
"Now, I'm sure you have heard rumors about the assignment of teams. Well, Allow us to put an end to your confusion" Glyda makes a small pause "Each of you will be given teammates. Today"
Tony notices that Ruby seemed to be thinking about something.
"Well, all of you with the exception of one to be more precise" Ozpin interrupts looking at Tony, everyone doesn't notice and continues with his speech "These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon; so it is in your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you can work well with. that being said…the first person you make contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years"
Ruby seemed shocked about it "WHAT?!" she exclaimed
"After you are partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition along the way. Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path, or you will die" Ozpin says, his serious tone continued, he was joking.
No one said anything but felt the weight of his words "You will all be monitored and graded for the duration of your initiation, but our instructors will not intervene" He makes a pause looking at everybody "You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics. Each pair must choose one and return to the cliff. We will regard the item, as well as your standing and grade you appropriately. Are there any questions?"
Jaune, of course, raised his hand. "Yeah, um. Sir…"
"Good! Now take your positions" Ozpin inturrims him.
They are immediately sent flying thanks to the platforms they were standing on; it was like a catapult with enough strength to send someone flying. Tony looked at everybody, they were taking it well with the exception of Jaune but that was expected.
"Wooooh Yeah!" Tony screamed excited while flying doing a backflip.
Tony contine flying, doing tricks, living the life as he would say until he lost enough altitude that he really needed to make a landing. Tony got his sword out getting ready and when he saw a tree below him he did a helm breaker.
The tree started getting cut in half but it was thick and tall enough that it slowed Tony's fall till he touched the ground then the tree just fell over in two.
"That was fun, now gotta get that relic" Tony said "But i should also avoid the others, don't want the other to think they can make a team with me"
Stealth was what Tony used even though he wasn't really a fan but he did it nonetheless, in his mind stealth is not as fun as going guns blazing but for some jobs he did before…well it was a must so he knows how to get around.
In his way he found a couple of teams already formed, Ruby and Weiss which was odd, he could only wish Ruby luck.
He also saw the team of Yang and Blake, he also saw Pyrrah and Jaune, another odd couple but could be good for Jaune.
While running through the forest and stopping immediately, dodging a claw that appeared out of nowhere, it was a beowulf! Tony found it disappointing because he couldn't get a workout out of it.
WIthout thinking twice Tony did a stinger to the beowulf with enough strength to cut in half, his disappointment only grew.
"Well, what a drag, expected something better really" Tony sheaths his sword, bored that he didn't get a workout.
Tony continues walking until he finds himself on some ruins, those must be the ones Ozpin was talking about so he gets closer to them to find Yang and Blake already there.
"Hello handsome, looks like you got here" Yang greeted Tony.
"Oh you know, I was taking a relaxing stroll in these woods," Tony joked.
Tony looked around to see some pillars with some relics on them.
"So these are the Relics then" He kept looking at them "Took yours already?"
"Yeah, we got ours" Blake said and points behind Tony "But there is one that is odd"
"Odd in what way?" Tony asks with curiosity.
"Well, one of the relics looks different doesn it?" Says Yang.
"Must be the one that the Headmaster said for the exception…a black knight in full plate armor and a sword" Blake adds.
Tony gets closer to it and it's oddly…familiar, he can't get the feeling it's related to him but decides to shrug it off and takes it
After he took it…the headache started again, flashes of the dream last night started flowing through his mind; Tony tried to shrug them off until He hears something that shook him to his core "Damned Sparda offspring!" He steps back, feeling like he is going to puke, his head was a mess right now.
"Hey, isn't that?" Says one of the girls snapping Tony from his trance.
Tony turns around to see Blake pointing above so he raises his head to see…Ruby falling?! What the hell?!
"Heads up!" Ruby screams but to the surprise of everyone Jaune, that is flying crashes into her sending them into some trees.
"Did your sister just fall from the sky?" Asks Blake what Tony was thinking.
"I…" Starts Yang speaking but is cut off by a roar.
The three of them turn around to see an Ursa flailing his arms around to then fall down with the girl in pink to fall from the Ursa, once again thinking of What the hell?!
"Aw, it's broken" She says disappointed.
"Nora!" Says the guy in green appearing, catching his breath "Please don't ever do that again.
With a great speed she disappears from his sight leaving him wondering where she went, Tony, used to seeing faster things, quickly followed her with his eyes as she ran into the ruins looking into a rook shaped relic.
"Oh!" Nora says excited and picks the relic doing a small dance "I'm queen of the castle, I'm queen of the castle!"
"Nora!" the guy in green yells.
"Coming Ren" She says as she giggles.
Tony shook his head, thinking this should be the last thing he ever expected to happen then he saw Pyrrah running from a death stalker and once again; What the hell?! he thought again.
To his surprise Ruby appears standing next to them then she notices her sister.
"Ruby!" Yang says happy.
"Yang!" Ruby tries to give her a hug.
"Nora!" Nora appears between them out of nowhere.
Tony just facepalms ignoring everything else, he was wondering if he drank something this morning that is making him go crazy…no, he didn't even drink water so all he can do is blame his rotten luck with women at this point.
"Agh!" Yang snaps, angry, her eyes turning red "I can't take this anymore! Can everybody just chill out before something crazy happens again?!"
"Stole the words out of my mouth" Tony says annoyed.
"Might steal something else later" Yang says flirting but still annoyed.
"No!" Tony snaps too.
"Em guys…" Ruby starts speaking, pointing up.
Everybody raises their head for the second time to see a nevermore and on it's claw they see Weiss hanging. Tony couldn't give a damn anymore; he just gave up and expected next a giant unicorn of whatever.
"How can you leave me?!" Weiss says.
"I said jump" Ruby deadpans.
"She's gonna fall" Blake deadpans.
"She'll be fine" Ruby deadpans again.
"She's falling" Ren deadpans too.
"To hell with this!" Tony screams and jumps.
Everybody is surprised by the strength of his jump and the high he could get; on his way he also picks Jane from the hood then when he got literally to Weiss altitude in a moment. Tony grabs her princess style while still having Jaune by his hood.
"Hold on!" He says to both of them as he starts falling again, landing like it was nothing then dropping both of them and as he does that Pyrrha arrives.
"Great, the gang's all here, now we can die together!" Yang exclaims, full of sarcasm
"Not if I can't help it" Ruby says as she starts heading into battle, alone.
"Ruby, wait!" Yang exclaims, worried about her sister.
"Damn it!" Tony Yells as he unsheathed his sword.
Ruby starts running towards the Death Stalker, shooting behind to give her a boost in speed and tries to slash the Death Stalker but it counters it with one of its claws hitting Ruby sending her away. Ruby stands up to see the Dead Stalker behind her, she shoots him falling back and starts running.
Tony and Yang start running towards Ruby but to their surprise, the Nevermore comes flying, shooting his feathers; without thinking twice Tony gets one of his guns and starts shooting the feathers but one of them gets Ruby's cape pinning her down.
Tony tries to deflect the feathers that come to him and Yang with his sword but they are too slow, the Death Stalker is on top of Ruby, ready to strike with its stinger.
"Ruby!" Yang screams worried.
Then a blur of white passes through them. It was Weiss who created a wall of ice saving Ruby and trapped the Death Stalker stinger. Tony and Yang felt relieved, they quickly reunited with the other and saw the Nevermore flying over them.
"Guys, that thing is circling back!" Jaune points to the sky worried "what are going to do?"
"Easy, you guys get the things and we get the hell out of here" Tony interrupted.
"He's right, that is our objective after all" Weiss agreed with Tony.
Soon the teams get the relics of the pedestals and start running to the cliffs leaving behind the Death Stalker, they make a good run but Tony felt hatred in the area, he felt death…a demon!
They continue running to some ruins, the nevermore above them and behind them the Deathstalker and he came with a friend; another Dead Stalker and of course, the demon was somewhere, this time everybody felt that hatred on the air making Tony stop.
"You guys go ahead and take one Death Stalker and Nevermore, I'll distract the new two party members" Tony says drawing his guns "This party is getting crazy!"
"Wait, Tony no!" Says Weiss.
"Just Keep Moving!" Tony screams with a grin on his face.
Tony aims his handguns at one of the deathstalkers, starting shooting away feeling finally excited; he avoids the other Death Stalker taking the attention of the new one running deeper into the forest.
Of course, he got his attention, while it was coming closer Tony took the opportunity to reload his guns to then holster them, he was going to use the sword now. He did a stinger of his own closing the distance between them hitting it on one of the claws; The death Stalker used its other claw to get Tony but he blocked it to then counter attack with a sword slash on its head.
The deathstalker attacked with its stinger but Tony blocked it, noticing that it had quite the strength pushing him backwards. Tony smiled but then he felt pain in his back and a green flash that passed by him, it was a lizard like creature, a demon known as blade.
"Look how decided it was time to play" Tony mocks the demon "Come on!"
Tony does another stinger but this time to the blade sending it flying backwards. Tony notices the Death Stalker stinger so he just steps back letting it hit the ground then he immediately puts his foot on its tail and cuts the stinger off with his sword; the creature roars in pain and launches Tony over him leaving his sword stuck on the ground.
Without thinking twice, Tony gets an idea getting his guns out and turning in the air to be upside down aiming at the death Stalker; Tony started spinning and firing away, like if he was a tornado of bullets quickly shredding the Death Stalker and Tony lands over it to continue shooting until the guns doesn't shoot anymore, they couldn't handle the stress of Tony's trigger happy nature but the monster was dead.
"I think i'll call it Rainstorm" he says while dropping of the monster and picking his sword "Now it's you and me sewer crocodile"
The blade charges at Tony doing a flurry of slashes with his claws, Tony dodges the attacks and blocks the one he couldn't fully dodge trying to find an opening in the attacks. After a few moments he finds it and quickly kicks the Blade away then does a stinger that is blocked by the shield that is on its arm.
"Blast off!" Says Tony doing an upper slash cutting the arm of the blade and launching both of them in the air.
While on the air Tony starts slashing the demon with a three hit combo then finishing with a helm breaker. Both fall to the ground but the Blade quickly backflips launching itself to Tony so he answers in kind with a stinger.
Both pass through each other, after a moment the blade falls cut in half while Tony got a small cut on his right cheek.
"Now this is what I was talking about!" Tony grins again, sheathing his sword "Better get going and meet with the others"
After a while Tony reaches the cliffs finding Weiss, Ruby, Yang and Blake waiting for him, they smile at him knowing that he was alright.
"Did my ladies miss me?" He smiles, opening his arms.
"Of course, I can't get enough of you handsome" Yang continue flirting gaining a stare from her sister
"Well, you went alone to fight a Death Stalker you moron!" Weiss yelled at Tony.
"Miss you too" He smirks "Did you get the other two?"
"Yes we did and it was awesome!" Ruby exclaims with a smile.
"Good, well gotta get going then babes" He walks past them.
"Wait, your back!" Exclaimed Blake.
"What the hell happened?!" Weiss runs behind Tony, looking at the injury.
"Must have been a serious fight then to deplete your aura" Yang says, a bit concerned.
Tony thought first on what he should say because after all he doesn't have an aura, he decided to roll with it.
"Yeah, it wasn't easy, especially since I got an…let's say unexpected visitor but it's all good, both of them are dead" He says shrugging it off and continues walking.
After some time
The ceremony started as Ozpin started naming the teams, he found out that Nora, Ren, Jaune and Pyrrha got in the same team as Team JNPR and named Jaun the leader; Ozpin also named the next team that has Ruby, Yang, Blake and Weiss as team RWBY and making Ruby the team leader.
"And last but not least, the team is composed by one member, Tony Redgrave who'll be working closely with team JNPR and Team RWBY" Ozpin said looking at Tony with high expectations.
"This just gets better and better" Tony grunts.
AUTOR NOTES!
So, there we have it, another chapter done. I'm trying to get better with the comas and everything, hopefully this is an improvement from the last one.
Anyway, now that the teams are formed we can start going with the bonding with the teams so we are going into more of an original stuff for the fanfic until we get to the next crisis
Also, Still having issues with calling Tony, I noticed when I was doing the readback to do some corrections and fix some things that I wrote Dante and left it there, God can't wait till he remembers who he is!
Anyway. So i've been playing Dark Souls 3 again, i had a strength build that i didn't remember that i had so yeah, it's fun, didn't remember that character and to be honest, i was planning on playing Dark Souls 2 but for some reason i uninstalled it and i'm kinda Mad about it because i lost all the progress and i spent a couple hours/days farming the Mad warrior armor so yeah, Pissed about it.
For the nightmare and the sad parts i was listening to Pay money to my Pain, a J-Rock/J-Metal Band that does the lyrics in english, Such an amazing band, I was listening to Home and Out of my hands - revival-
So, into going into details, Tony/Dante is strong mostly because his biology, he doesn't know why really but he is stronger, faster but doesn't know how to use his demonic powers, he just believes it's he is just strong but when he remember oh boy oh boy, it's going to be tasty!
Also, Tony is not using the Rebellion just yet, he is using the generic sword Number six but don't worry, he'll use Rebellion at some point, he just can't at the moment.
Now To answer some reviews.
holandia1103: First of all, thanks and Fair enough. i can see your point, maybe it's because i wrote in another language first that i use commas a lot, soooo yeah and don't worry, i appreciate you pointing this out, because, yeah, i kinda hate commas, but i'm so used to using them that iiiiiiii don't know, i'll keep an eye on it to see if i can improve it and tone them down. also, a great point in the "Two Days Later" and such in bold.
Red Dusk 369: So I'll be numbering the things I'm answering.
1- I had an idea first of going for another character than the RWBY team, i first thought of Pyrrha, but nah, i want her to stick with Jaune, Neo was an interesting choice but i have a plan for her and Roman, Emerald was good, really good but i couldn't like, figure out how to put her in that position, Coco just no, i like her, don't get me wrong but i don't see her with our Devil Boy. i was actually thinking on Velvet, she was a strong runner up but in the end i decided on Team RWBY at the end mostly because he's going to spend most of his time with them, be on missions with them, i think the more time you spend with a person the easier and true the emotions are, specially since their live are going to be at stake, so that's my reasoning on why going with Team RWBY, i already explain why not Yang and Blake so yeah, I hope my reasoning doesn't disappoint much.
2- Thanks, glad the start wasn't a trainwreck! i honestly like having the Rules down, it's a good idea to have bullet points to guide myself, give myself an idea and you an idea.
3- Oh yeah, Demons are totally more Dangerous than a Grimm for the reasons i listed, They can think and that makes them Dangerous unlike *COUGH COUGH* I ALSO READ LEGENDARY DEVIL HUNTRESSES *COUGH COUGH* Man, we sure have something, maybe we should drink water or something. I actually was thinking on going the same road that on The New Teacher, that even Lesser demons are something you need to watch out for. in my opinion, Lesser Demons like the Hells, Pride, Lust, etc Lesser demons that are just grunts won't pose, like that big of a challenge to normal hunters, Lady can take them, no problem but they are going to be a good way to lure the hunters into a false sense of security, they are going to have something that the Hunters will need to watch out for and lear the horror of what a demon can actually do, Higher Demons are going to be a Nightmare, Dante must Die for a hunter, not a job for a Human. Grunts, Yeah, they can be big trouble but they can manage, Higher than that, leave the job to the expert.
4- I agree with you, rushing to the next crisis it's not fun, i mean, yeah it is fun but what about what happens in the middle, the slice an life, i don't see how they are going to form the bonds if they don't know each other in between, just jumping from crisis to crisis it's not enough for me to create a strong friendship, trust and even love, conflict creates strong connections too but they go hand in hand with each other. So I 100% agree with you.
I Hope this is good enough, I'm sorry if I rambled a bit, it's kinda my nature and could myself clear and share some light into what I was thinking and what we agree and disagree on. I hopefully can deliver a story that we can both enjoy. Thanks for the Review, feel free to answer and give me some pointers too.
malonverse400: Hey, thanks, i know i have some errors and i'm trying to get better at it, thanks for pointing it out, glad you are enjoying the story and yeah, the part of the bullets and Ozpin, Very DMC, actually got it from the ending of DMC 3 with Lady. Also Point for Ruby!
Tony the tired one: Baby you know it! Actually, Salchipapas is my favorite Fast food at the moment, there is a restaurant that they know it how to make them good, like real good, specially the Salchipapa Rancheras, oh mah god! also planning it to be in the story hahahaha. Cheers mate!
Reapergod9: Point for Weiss.
"Score for Ruby! I'm up one" Ruby puts her index finger up to Weiss.
"Where do you learn to count?! We're Even" Weiss says annoyed.
Anyway, Keep Voting, it will help me do the choosing too, if they are even to the point i'm going to start working on the romance, i'll use a d2 (basically a coin toss) to choose who gets Dante.
A small advance.
"Hey girls, thanks for looking out for that Brat, he gets lonely pretty fast"
"Love spending time with you my lovely ladies but business beckons, I gotta go"
