Hey guys the Monstrel's here for you growing reviwers. I tend to keep Shingei no RWBY near cannon while going off somewhere later on. I hope you like it. Anyways, I've taken my time to look at your reviews and respond to them (I do this a lot).

InterestingAuthor345: Yes, I've read the manga I still can't Hannes died like that. This always happens when I read Attack on Titan, once I start liking a character they get killed off soon after. I'm not sure if gonna have Qrow die like that or kill him off at all but don't be afraid to give me ideas.

AnAustrialianGamer: Thank you very much.

Dusk Mind: To be honest I'm not sure how that happened but I can assure you I didn't copy from you, it was a coincidence, really it was. Anyway, I've changed it now and I won't let happen again. Please don't sue.

Well here's chapter 2! Enjoy! I don't own RWBY or Attack on Titan


The Fall of Vale Arc

Chapter 2: A Grimm Tragedy – Summer to Fall.


xxxx

(At the Town Centre...)

The citizens just stared wide eyed at what for many was the first Grimm they had ever seen… and their last. Nothing could prepare them for what came next.

Its head rose high above the wall for a few moments before pulling back. All everyone could do is watch in terror, as the actions of the Leviathan became clear to them all. The Spinosaur Grimm gave a massive kick on the gates of the outer wall, as a massive explosion caused rocks and broken buildings went flying through everywhere like meteors, crushing countless houses and killing innocent people on the streets and followed with a huge shockwave of dirt that blew the citizens off their feet. However, outside the breached city walls, more trouble was coming.

D:

"I-It broke a hole through the wall like it was nothing..." Jaune murmured, kneeling on the ground in shock.

As unexpectedly as it appeared it vanished in a puff of smoke. But what happened afterwards caused greater concern. For some reason, the Aura Barrier became visible in a translucent whitish colour, slowly evaporated into thin air. In its place was nothing to protect them.

"It's destroyed the barrier!" yelled Yang, terrified.

Suddenly, a Beowolf came through the large hole big enough for its giant-sized relatives to walk through; it was relatively small but was more than enough to generate panic as it attention to dinner.

"One got inside!" a man screamed in fear. "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"

"The Grimm are coming!"

"They breached the wall! Everybody run to Wall Maria!"

"Quick or the Grimm will devour us all!"

The creatures first entered in ones and twos. Then, threes and fours. Then, by the dozen. Until, an entire horde of Grimm easily entered the city and began attacking people. For the first time in a hundred years, there was now nothing that could stop these man-eaters from destroying the Vale District.

Panic couldn't properly describe the pandemonium that erupted from the people of Vale, as the all tried to flee to Wall Maria. The townspeople began screaming in terror and ran franticly to find safety.

D:

"W-We gotta get outta here, girls!" the boy suggested, shaking in fear. "Quickly! Before those things get us!"

However, the raven-haired girl noticed the damage to the residential areas and a boulder flung on top of a familiar house. She bolted off in the opposite direction from the crowd and she headed towards the hole in the wall.

"R-Ruby! Where are you going?!" Yang shouted, in confused terror.

"Our house is over there!" she exclaimed worryingly without a glance, as she ran off. "I've gotta find mom!"

Ruby began to run to her neighbourhood alongside Yang and headed back home. Of course, Jaune was left behind on the town central as he tried to call out to his friends hoping to warn them of the dangers but to no avail. He tried desperately to calm down and grasp what was happening but tears began to flow through his face and dread enveloped him in its icy grip.

"Oh god. Oh god! OH GOD! T-This is it... I-Its over!" he thought, in despair. "Th-This town... Is... Overrun by the Grimm! We're gonna get eaten!"

"Jaune! Jaune! Are you okay?!" A familiar voice brought back to his senses.

:D

"G-Grandpa James!" the blonde said, as the old man grabbed Jaune's shivering arm to keep him from being separated in the chaos. Apparently, he had spotted the boy in streets after the big explosion. "Since when did you get here!"

"Jaune, thank goodness you're alright!" James exclaimed, in relief. "They're evacuating the citizens to Wall Rose!" he informed him. "We're have to leave this place be the."

The grandson nodded in assent and the both of them ran to the boats.

"Grandpa! What about Ruby and Yang?" Jaune asked, in shock.

"They'll be fine" he assured him.

(On the frontline...)

"There's a way to kill them... I wish I remembered before I charging in like this" Craig thought to himself, as a Nevermore turned its attention from the civilians to him.

His eyes narrowed as she brandished his weapon: a gold-coated whipsword named the Gilded Slasher. In sword mode, the raccoon boy sliced off the incoming talons that reached for him as he twirled to the side before the toes grew back quickly that's to the Grimm's instant regeneration. The teen's eyes widened in shock as the same claws reached for him and he jumped off the building he was on to one opposite of the street, thanks to the 3D Gear. The giant crow looked over the rooftop before looking over its shoulder to see Craig holding throwing something that came from his pocket.

"Hey Birdbrain! Suck on this!" he called out, as a massive blue burst from the Dust Grenade launched at the back of the Nevermore's head sending it crashing into the building in front of it. The raccoon boy watched as the smoke cleared and saw that the back of the Grimm's skull had erupted open upon impact of the explosion and was slowly knitting back together.

"Damn it! What's the weakness to these things?!" he growled to himself before he took off into the sky high above the collapsed Grimm. "I've got to find my friends and find what to do!"

:D

The new recuit had only graduated just over a week ago, so unlike most of his comrades he was still used to using 3DMG and Dust Weapons for combat purposes. But this shouldn't be happening. For crying out loud he was just a Wall Guard, he wasn't prepared for this. He launched himself away from the monster with incredible speed before noticing a massive explosion.

As the smoke cleared from the vast explosion, he watched as the big bird beneath him get up, its body emitting immense coldness as it began to take off after its prey. Craig floated down to the rooftop before the creature could eat him and could feel the chilling breeze coming from the body even from down below, as he tried to find anything that could of tell him how to kill it he noticed screaming people running away from the man-eaters. Some couldn't get away. He couldn't remember how to kill them efficiently but he could at least help as many people as he could. The Faunus wished he paid more attention at the Academy.

Raising his head to look over the destruction that the Grimm had caused, the ring-tailed boy frowned as she saw dozens more moving through the gate where he had meant to guard half an hour earlier. He felt a massie burst of Aura and saw several Signal Guard soldiers fend off the creatures before he jumped high above the buildings, set on helping them.

D:

The Faunus looked around and saw more monsters flooding in by the broken gate before launching himself to his companions' direction. He couldn't really do anything to help until he knew how to kill the Grimm. They could only slow the Grimm down, not stop them completely.

(Somewhere, in the Town…)

D:

Ruby and Yang ran faster to their home, even seeing a countless number of corpses were crushed by pieces of the debris and bumping into people fleeing from the danger. Despite seeing the widespread carnage, the redhead still hoped for the best. The sisters hurried through an already severely damaged residential area, hoping that their home was still intact.

"Once I make a turn here, my house should definitely be there!" Ruby thought. "I just hope mom is okay!"

Moment later, as she turned the corner Ruby landed their house but she was shocked that a huge boulder that was flung by the Grimm's kick and crushed their house on impact, however, her mother was nowhere to be found in all the debris.

"Mom!" Ruby yelled. "Where are you?!"

She called out for her mother but no one answered her. The girls kept calling even though it seemed hopeless. Suddenly, the sisters felt tremors under their feet. Ruby raised her head slightly and saw a Grimm before me. It was a Beowolf. The younger sister gasped and froze on the spot.

D:

The Grimm didn't do anything to her yet. Its red soulless eyes stared into her frightened silver ones. Ruby couldn't move her legs nor hear Yang's cries for her to run. She fiercely trembled before it; fearing that it would kill and eat her. It lowered its head near her and before it could bite…

"GET AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTERS, YOU MONSTER!"

*Slice!*

The big bad wolf's freezing created an opening and a figure appeared behind it and she hacked away at its necks. The Grimm collapsed to the side and its beheaded corpse avoided landing on Ruby and Yang. Ruby's eyes widened when she saw who landed on the ground near his sisters. It was Ruby's mother but she was different.

Her flowing red hair was tied up in a high, long ponytail, leaving only a few streaks to frame Summer's face. She was no longer wearing her housewife clothes and was now dressed in some kind of battle outfit. The mother wore a black dress over a red combat skirt, held together by a white belt. She also had knee-high black boots and red stockings that reached the middle of her thighs. However, her most notable feature was her snow-white cloak draped over her with the 'Wings of Freedom' on her back and red lining underneath. All in all, she looked like an older, battle-hardened version of Ruby.

XD

In her hand was her weapon, a large double-headed battle-axe almost as long as she was tall. It was crimson red in colour (not including the Grimm's blood) with silver edges on the blades and a white handle, with a long cord at the base. Its name was the Rosa Eclipse and with it in hand she revived the epithet she had discarded long ago: 'The Bloody Flower'.

"Wow, mom…"

Summer heard her daughter's voice of praise as they finally walked over. She grabbed the two girls and made a run it. Of all honestly, she hoped she'd never had to be forced into combat with those things ever again.

"We have to hurry, mom" the blonde girl told her. "The Grimm have gotten in. More will come at any moment."

"I know, Yang" the red woman said hurriedly, before she looked over at her quickly approaching child, "Ruby, thank goodness you're okay. But you shouldn't have come here."

Ruby hesitated for a moment. "Thanks mom..." she was unsure how safe they were.

"Damn it!" Summer snarled furiously, while running as quickly as she could towards away from the house she had lived with her family for over a decade. Her fear and determination made it so she could no longer feel the fatigue built up, she was out of practice from all those years of living peacefully. She had to save her daughters! "Goddamnit..! Why did this have to happen?!" she cursed, mentally.

:D

It has been studied that the Grimm flocked over to large concentrations of life, although it wasn't certain if it was out of instinct or not. It has also been noted that Grimm will fight back against whatever is deemed to be a threat and a veteran Huntress from Beacon definitely fit this category. Summer prayed that those abnormal ones didn't let their 'instincts' guide it to where her and her children would be.

"Hey another one of those wolf Grimm" warned Yang. "And it's bigger than the last one!"

"It's always a Beowolf" Summer muttered.

"C'mon mom, this it should be easy for you" Ruby cheered, earning a frown from her mom.

"Ruby this isn't a game!" the woman said stiffly.

As expected, a large dark mass could be seen moving over the wreckage. Out of the darkness came the beast. It was truly a terrifying creature even if it was hunched over and not standing at its full height of 7'6 ft. When it saw its adversary, it let loose its infamous howl from a wolf-like maw lined with razor sharp fangs. An Alpha male.

Summer took a combat stance as Huntress prepared herself. She shifted the Eclipse from axe form to sniper mode and gave the mutt a headshot. However, half a dozen of its friends came to get even.

:D

"Did you build that yourself?" Ruby asked, curiously.

"I am not discussing this" Summer retorted.

By the time the Beowolves had surrounded them, the Rosa Eclipse was already fully reloaded and ready to fire.

"Take this!" Summer shouted. The shots from the axe-sniper echoed and shook with a boom as each mongrel was shot through the head. "For whom the bell tolls" she thought to herself.

Unfortunately, one Beowolf was faster than it looked and the round only grazed its left arm, tearing out a chunk but it wasn't fatal enough, it regenerated.

"Damn, you almost had it mom" cursed Ruby.

"So… you have to destroy its mask?" Yang asked, curiously.

"Let's talk about that later" answered Summer.

:D

Alone, she surged forward with incredible speed hoping to catch the Beowolf off guard. The results were what Ruby expected as Summer's right hook collided with the beast's lower jaw, tearing pieces of its skin with an Aura-enhanced knuckle-sandwich. With a pained growl, it retaliated with a swipe of its right claw which was blocked by the woman's left forearm.

"Too slow, puppy" Summer mocked, before punching it straight in the face mask, shattering it in several places. The Beowolf fell back into the ground with a whimper and struggled to get out of its daze but Summer finished it off with a point-blank blast.

Yang was impressed by what she saw. Even though it had been a decade she last fought a Grimm, she took it down with such efficiency and grace. Though she was trying to work out why someone as strong and talented as her left Beacon and forbid her daughter from joining. If she hated that much, why did she keep her outfit and weapon this whole time?

Ruby, on the other hand, was so awestruck she had completely forgotten about serious the situation was. Much to the older woman's chagrin, she started fangirling; giving her fighting tips and saying how epic she was.

XD

Whatever praise Ruby was going to give next was interrupted as an Ursa Major tackled Summer, forcing her backwards. At this close range, the sniper mode couldn't be used effectively. That left only the axe.

"Put it in a headlock!" Ruby cried out, even though her mother was already thinking it.

"Crap! This Ursa is different from the others! I don't have time for this!" shouted Summer, getting increasingly frustrated, she just wanted to get her girls to safety.

"This Ursa really is different. Is it Abnormal?" Summer thought as she got a closer look at the beast. It actually seemed bigger, even by Ursa Major standards, and it had many more protrusions on its back.

The former huntress grappled with the Ursa to try and headlock it but the beast head-butted upwards, knocking Summer up into the air and crashed there the girls knocking them off their feet. Dazed momentarily, the Roses regained their bearings and the white-cloaked woman tried and to lunge at the Beowolf again with her axe. At the same time, the gun barrel was reloaded again for another shot.

The Ursa lunged forward with its claws but Summer dodged to the right and grabbed hold of its healed left arm in an armlock. Straining with all her might, the Huntress was able to bend its arm backwards and break bones before following up with a series of left punches to its open wound. However, she forgot about its tail which it used to knock into Summer's torso. The hold was broken and the Ursa used its spiny protrusions to try and gore Summer's front-side but was blocked by her Aura, causing minor damage.

D:

The Ursa Major then quickly turned to face its opponent and locked its jaws over Summer's left arm. She repeatedly beat at the creature's head with the right fist but this only caused it to tighten its hold. It drove its claws deep into her arm leaving gouging marks before Summer used her Semblance: Wind Manipulation. After creating a large gust of wind to force the bear off, the mother shot it in the face.

"ARRGGH!" Summer screamed, as the pain set in.

"MOM!" Ruby cried out, as she rushed over to her.

"Ruby, don't worry, I'm fine" her mother reassured, despite being in pain. "Let's just get to the boats."

Next, they came across a Boarbatusk down the path which aggressively did a spin attack. Summer sent her axe crashing into the pig's back, cracking a large piece of its armour off. She followed up by pinning it down with her full weight and punching it repeatedly in its face and simultaneously trying to aim the gun barrel at its underbelly. Just as another round was about to fire, the warthog Grimm's left tusk shot forward and dug into Summer's right-side and attempted to force her off. Before it could do any more damage, Summer sliced it right down the middle.

"MOM!" Ruby shouted. The girls moved to her again with concern at the amount of blood she lost.

Just as the ex-huntress was about to instruct the children on what to do, the ground began to shake and they all looked towards the gate to see a small group of 12 metre Grimm heading towards them.

XD

Summer glared up at the approaching monsters. "Since when did the Giant Grimm walk together in groups? It's as if something is drawing them here? But what could it be?" she thought suspiciously.

"There are three of them!" Yang shouted. "We have to get out of here now!"

"I'm almost out of Dust, damnit!" Summer swore. "Yang, please get Ruby to Wall Maria!"

"What about you?!" the girls demanded, however, the golden girl didn't hesitate to grab her sister. It was going to be to get through to the boat but she had confidence they'd make it.

"I'll hold them off!" the mother informed her and then he told Ichigo. "I need you two to run to Wall Maria as fast as you can! Don't look back and don't try to help me! Just run! Find your Uncle Qrow. He'll take care of you!"

Yang and Ruby bolted back down the road as quick as they could but Ruby couldn't stop herself from looking back to check on her mother. She watched in awe as Summer took down the 12 metre Hyena-like Grimm with a large, compressed air-blade and the 14 metre Lion-like Grimm with some amazing speed and acrobatics, even climbing on top of it despite her multiple injuries.

Ruby's awe turned into sheer terror, however, when the 15 metre Tiger-like Grimm grabbed onto her mother's leg and she was slammed heavily into the ground. Her mother's battle-axe sniper was thrown out onto the road and slid near Ruby.

D:

"Mom!" Ruby shouted and she skidded to a stop.

Summer groaned painfully on the rocky road and he struggled to get back to her feet. She clenched the left side of her torso and she believed that some of her ribs had been broken. It was astounding that was all she came out with but unfortunately she had been disarmed.

"Ruby! What are you doing?!" cried Yang

"I need to give mom her weapon to fight off those things!" she ran back holding mommy's old toy but was oblivious dire situation she was in.

"RUBY! DON'T BE STUPID!" Summer screamed as the Tiger Grimm moved towards her daughter. "JUST RUN!"

It was too late the monster grabbed hold of her daughter and was about to turn her into its next meal. But it never got the chance. In an explosion of fury and motherhood, Summer grabbed the Rosa Eclipse that fell out of the screaming Ruby's hands and using an air current she created made an Aura-enhanced air blade across the mask, ending its unlife.

Everything went black as the giant disentergrating carcass collapsed onto some buildings and fell right down on top of the family.

(Elsewhere...)

"Raaah!" Qrow hefted his scythe straight through a leg of a 15 meter-class Grimm sending it toppling to the side as it became unbalanced at the loss of its limb. The old man flew forward on the 3DMG at incredible speeds slicing through the gut of an 11 meter class as it reached forward to grab him but it was too slow. It's lower half stumbling backwards as the top half fell forward and collided with the ground.

Qrow didn't stop as he made his way for the third Grimm in his path, turning his Black Gleaner into cannon mode and shooting it through the right arm as it reached out for him before slicing it diagonally in half from shoulder to hip, black blood spraying across the street as the lower half of the body slumped down the upper half slid to the side, crashing into the building to its left.

Not stopping to look back at the three Grimm he had disabled, knowing he hadn't killed them, he had shifted his Dust Weapon from scythe mode back to cannon form and sent a shell straight at one earlier and watched as it had pulled itself back together. Those Beacon Hunters hadn't been kidding when they said it was hard to kill even one of them. But his mind wasn't on what they had told him, no it was on the two familiar kids he had heard running off into the streets, not in the direction of the gate.

The old man needed to get to them soon. Increasing his speed even more he flew above the rooftops and spotted three figures at a crumbled down building, a disintigrating monster corpse having smashed into the houses after being dealt with.

(Earlier…)

"Ruby! Ruby!"

Slowly, the red girl regained consciousness thanks to her sister's calls. Finding her barely conscious mother pinned under the rubble that once served as a building, Ruby tried to pull her trapped mother out.

"MOM! Hurry, Yang! You get that end of timber, while I push this pillar up with everything you're got!" she cried. "We gotta get mom outta here!"

"I know!"

However, Ruby felt something that it wasn't right, as she saw the surroundings of the area, there were dozens of Grimm already swarming in Vale District.

The girls looked on in terror. "Oh no... FASTER YANG!"

"I'M TRYING! IT WON'T BUDGE!"

"It's too late… The Grimm! More are coming. Sweetie, my legs were crushed by the rubble, even if you managed get me out, I won't be able to go with you. I can't even feel my legs" Summer muttered, as noticed through her Aura's sensing ability. "Ruby! Yang! Quick, you've got to get away! Do you understand?"

D:

"Yes I do! I want to run away! But first we're getting you out!" Ruby objected, still struggling to move debris with her bloody hands and continued her efforts. "I'll carry you if I have to!"

"GROOOOAAAAAAHHHH!"

Ruby tried to pick up the heavy wood to free her mother but then, a loud roar from a nearby added even more stress to the situation. The scene revealed a big, dangerous Grim, 14 metres at its full height, had appeared 50 ft. away from them. A black dragon-like monster, it had sharp, white claws; red, soulless eyes; large, black bat-wings. The dark scales on its back were protected by white hard bone-like armour, an arrow-tipped tail and goat horns. It even had a disturbingly wide grin and kept chuckling like a hyena. To make matters worse it spotted the girls and was going to their location.

"I-It-It's a Fearbringer!" Summer exclaimed, in uncharacteristic fear. "Of all the Grimm that found us… this is the worst one possible!"

This was an S-Level threat. According to its bio, only the largest battalion of Hunters are only able to manage to kill this Grimm, even when most died in the effort. Even if she wasn't injured, she wouldn't stand a chance one-on-one. Though, unbeknownst to the sisters, Summer knew this Grimm on a more personal level.

"Keheheheh..."

"You're coming with us, mom" the redhead told, continuing her efforts. "So be quiet and let us help! I'm not leaving without you!"

"Yes, you are!" her mother insisted. "Hurry! There's no time!"

D:

"DAMNIT, MOM! WHY CAN'T YOU JUST BELIEVE IN ME, FOR ONCE?!" Ruby argued, in frustration.

"WHY CAN'T YOU JUST DO AS YOUR TOLD, FOR ONCE?!" Summer yelled. "I'M GOING TO DIE HERE AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT! THIS IS MY LAST REQUEST!"

A silence filled the air, as the weight of Summer's words came crashing down on all three of them. Ruby still attempted to move the pillar away, refusing to accept her mother's fate and leave her behind.

"We will all get killed if you stay!" she insisted, to her dejected daughter. "Please listen... Ruby" Summer begged the kid, then turning to her adoptive daughter. "Yang... please make your sister understand… At this rate... We will all be-"

Yang was completely torn. A great part of her wanted to run in fear, taking Ruby with her but another wanted to desperately help her step-mother out of there and save her. "I-I can't do that...". The exchange was cut short when the huge Dragon-like Grimm was seen moving closer to the girls' position, much to their horror.

"Teheheh..."

Suddenly, with the monster bearing down on them, Qrow came down from the roofs with his 3D Maneuver Gear. He sped towards them noticing a Grimm closing in on them. Landing behind them, he caused an uproar of wind from the sheer speed he had descended at.

:D

"Uncle Qrow!"

"Ruby! Yang! What are you girls doing here?!" he asked, as he arrived. His eyes opened wide as he saw his sister beneath the house, obviously stuck, while the two children were trying to rescue her. "Summer! Oh crap, this… this is not good!"

The woman looked up at him with wide eyes as the kids looked over their shoulders at him wondering how he knew where they were. The scythe he held in his hands was coated red, as was most of Qrow himself was covered in blood just as his was. Uncle Qrow tried to help lift the boulder but it wouldn't budge.

"Brother! You came!" she cried. "Quick, take the girls away from here and run!"

He simply stood there not knowing what to do. If he took them away, it could very well be the last time they saw her. Tightening his grip on his Death Gleaner, he quickly pulled out the massive blade from his back before walking towards Summer and knelt down.

"C'mon Summer, that's not the only option. Don't underestimate me, little sister. I'm gonna kill this Grimm and then, we'll get outta here" he reassured, tilting his cowboy hat. "After all, killing Grimm and saving lives is what soldiers are trained to do."

"But wait! Qrow, you can't fight something like that! Don't do it!" she pleaded. "That's a fool's idea!"

"Well, I'm just the 'fool' to follow it through!" Then, Qrow charged towards the huge Grimm as he prepared his black scythe, against his younger sibling's protests as Ruby rooted for him.

:D

"She's right, I definitely can save the kids if I leave her behind and that Grimm is stronger than any other that I've faced in my whole life"he thought, as he went after the Grimm towering above the family. "But now is my chance... to repay my debt to you, sis!" he vowed. "Nothing fancy, just kill it an-"

Unexpectedly, Qrow stopped his tracks and gasped, as he stared directly into the approaching Fearbringer's face. Its unnatural grin sent chills down his spine. Its sinister snickering seemed to drain the confidence right from Qrow's heart, making him oblivious to Ruby's calls to move forward. Its heavy breathing made him sweat profusely. Its soulless eyes craved blood… his blood.

"Whoohoohoohoo..."

The fear on the old man's face… was very real. He tried to rationalize what the right course of action was. Should he definitely save the children and leave Summer? Or face the S-Level Grimm with the slim chance of saving all of them? He began to doubt his chances of success.

Moments later, he immediately folded away his scythe and sped back, grabbing Ruby and Yang away from the debris, as the Grimm approached. Whether through fear of the Grimm right in front of him or reasoning on the sure thing, he chose to retreat, save both the children and leave their mother behind.

"Thank you... Big brother…" Summer said gratefully, as they made a run for it.

"Hey! No! Uncle Qrow! What are you doing!?" Ruby demanded, as she only manged to grab her mother's blood stained cloak. "Mom's still stuck in there! Wait, put me down!" she protested.

D:

"Qrow! Take care of the girls! Yang! Make sure your sister stays out of trouble! Ruby! Be a good girl!" Summer cried to them. "Please, all of you must survive and live on happily! I love you all!"

"MOOOOM!" Ruby cried out, tears streaming down her face. "WE HAVE TO TURN BACK! WE CAN'T JUST LEAVE HER THERE TO DIE!"

"Fufufufu..."

D:

Back to the wreckage, Summer watched her kids be carried by Qrow away from her, suddenly, memories flows into her mind as her life flashed before her.

From the time she was a happy, little girl playing with her late parents.

From the time she joined the Academy with her brother to fullfil her dream in becoming a Huntress.

From the time she graduated at the top of her class and rubbed it in the faces of those who doubted her.

From the time she joined Beacon and first saw the Commander and his right-hand man.

From the time she became a Captain and met the Team she was leading.

From the time she lost her dear friends in a giant, bloody massacre on her last mission outside.

From the time she decided to resign being a Huntress and left Beacon, saying goodbye to her comrades.

From the time she met her beloved Thorne and married him.

From the time she first held her newborn daughter in her arms. The happiest moment of her life.

DX

Tears began to flow out, as the young woman covered her mouth and cried silently. The evil monster was now directly over her.

*Rumble!* *Thud!*

The man kept running, carrying the two resisting children in his arms.

*Rumble!* *Thump!*

"I-I don't wanna die..." she whispered, helplessly.

However, to her astonishment, the Fearbringer simply walked right past her licking its lips with its snake tongue through the gaps of its shark-like fangs. The Grimm was only a few metres away from her and it allowed Summer to get a good look at it. "This is… It's definitely the same one that devoured all my friends at Beacon!" But that astonishment didn't last long when she realised where it was going.

It was heading straight towards her family. Specifically, Ruby.

"Ahehehehehehe…"

"It was after Ruby the whole time?" Summer thought, incredulously. "But why would it be drawn to her?"

D:

Regardless, she had to protect her family, she had already lost many she cared for to this monster and she would be damned if it killed her child, too. Seeing the monster go after her daughter made Summer's fury increase and her silver eyes had a flash of blue causing the Fearbringer froze when it was about to take off in the air after them.

"Heheheheh…?"

"HEY DRAGON!" Summer shouted furiously through her tears, as she pumped out all the Aura she had. "IF YOU WANT SOMETHING TO EAT, I'M RIGHT HERE!"

Suddenly, the Grim turned back drawn by the Huntress's vast light blue Aura and stomped nearby the debris as Ruby in gasped horror; the huge Grimm dug under the debris and finally captured its meal in both hands.

"Ruby whatever you do… don't join Beacon. I don't want you to see what I saw outside" Summer last thought.

*Thud!* *Creak!* *Clatter!*

DX

"Heeeeeeehahahahaha!"

"NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Ruby shrieked, hysterically.

"Ruby! You mustn't see this!" cried Yang, as she closed her eyes. "Cover your eyes!"

DX

But Ruby couldn't look away, she was too shocked. Just as they ran away, Summer hacked away at the Grimm's hand with her Rosa Eclipse to hold it off for as long as she could. However, the Fearbringer began to twist her body in retaliation until her spine gave away with a sickening crack that echoed across the street, as Ruby still watched in horror. Finally, the smiling dragon opened its wide mouth and placed it's dead prey on its tongue, moments later, the mouth closed at full force as Summer's blood sprayed all over the area...

*Crash!* *Crunch!* *Splatter!*

"WAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"

Summer's daughter, Ruby Rose, was horrified, saw her own mother get devoured by a maniacal Grimm in full view... a moment, she would never forget. It would haunt her for the rest of her life.

TO BE CONTINUED...


"On that day, everything changed. Mankind suddenly received a Grimm reminder... we lived at the mercy of monsters and... We are disgraced to live into these cages we called 'The Walls'."


Next time, on Shingeki no RWBY...

Ruby: I don't understand... I don't understand...

Qrow: It's… it's…IT'S BECAUSE I LACKED THE COURAGE TO FIGHT IT!

Jaune: Wait… what happened to your mom? Girls, where is she?

Craig: They… they didn't make it. Only I survived…

Qrow: There are still more people out there we can save! Don't close it yet!

Craig: Seriously guys, what the actual hell is that?!

*****-***: OOOORRROOOOOAAAARRRRRHHHH!

Qrow: God help us all…

Jaune: We can never go back home again...

...Chapter 3: A Grimm Reminder - Maria Falls

Ruby: I'm going to kill them… every last one of them…


That last part always makes me tear up. So, what do you think? Its good, bad or alright? This is my first crossover afterall. I've replaced the Smiling Titan with giant dragon because... why the fuck not? It was originally gonna be a giant hyena but I thought 'Dragons are cooler'. Yeah, the Grimm here release chilling winds when they die. While you're waiting check out my other stories.

Oh one last thing: what Sembalances shall the major characters have. Leave any questions in the reviews don't be afraid there's no such thing as a stupid question... just stupid people. See you next time!
