SEASON THREE IS HERE OH GOD YES!

Rwby belongs to Rooster teeth and Monty Oum

Outside of Beacon

Team Rwby strolled towards Beacons airship docks ready to go to the tournament and fight for Vale, Ruby however had a slight epiphany. "Guys? I just realized something, what about my new powers?" To say that the four were panicking was a slight understatement. "HEY!" The four who now were jumping away from every noise louder than normal leapt from the figure that approached them. "I am now assuming you're worrying on how to hide your powers, the answer is light of the sun." The massive man moved his hands in circles cryptically as he spoke adding a slight crazy vibe to it. "Dad?" Blake asked taking a closer look at the hood and capped figure. "BINGO!" The cat faunus pulled the hood down allowing the sunlight to wash over his capped head continuing in a slightly hushed voice . "So I'm going to say this now, Vampires powers are unfortunately eliminated while the vampire is in sunlight, but! if that vampire needs to use their powers they only need to go into the shadows." The four blinked as one suprised at how the Arch Baron had easily concealed and explained the situation of Ruby's powers.

"Soooooooo Ashy what are you doing here?" Yang nickname for Ashford earned a snicker from him. "Oh we usually come up in larger numbers to do business and watch the tournament," his eyes darkened within seconds after that, "But this year Grimoire thinks Brutus might try something with his ally's, so myself and several dozen elite troops have been dispatched to guard the festival and tournament." The four nodded, it made sense with Brutus and a bunch of White Fang Vampires running about. "You should probably go to your match, wouldn't want you to be late because of me." The cat faunus smiled as he walked into the crowd towering like a monolith above many shorter people before disappearing around a stall.

Meanwhile Grimoire was at the airship docks with a cloak and hooded Tuckson waiting for a certain Atlesian airship to arrive. "So are we going to tell Ironwood about us or no?" Grimoire turned to the Librarian, he had known Tuckson to be a very subtle man but with that question Grimoire began to think otherwise. "I believe we must ask the other Lords and Independant Barons first, if they approve we will tell Ironwood of our existence, hopefully before the bullets start flying." Tuckson nodded taking out a piece of gum to chew as the ship landed.

Tuckson for his part tried to not choke from laughing at his lord as the Lord in Vale was strangled in a hug from Lady Althea. "Mercy.." Grimoire managed to choke out as he finally got a breath of air. This action did manage to get him released long enough for him to introduce the Librarian to the Lady of the Northern lands before moving on to more pressing matters. "Should we tell General Ironwood of our existence?, hm well he seems to be a little gung-ho but if we explain everything to him he should keep things quiet until after the initial public engagements." Tuckson looked from the grinning woman in front of him to his equally grinning lord. "I told you she's good at these things." Tuckson sighed shaking his head before turning back to Lady Althea. "So do you have the wanderers? or did the ones in Atlas take a different ship?"

"Yeah, they've started following Rusty around calling him 'Boss' and 'Chief', they are still gathering some stuff." Tuckson nodded and Grimoire smiled. "It's good to hear that Rusty is still leading his little band, weather he like it or not." A chorus of voices were heard exiting the airship and a crowd of raggedly dressed peoples in rust colored armour led by a short rust haired, red eyed man who had a massive rusted looking iron stake hanging from his back. "I wonder how he and Wolfram will get along this time. Tucksons question was answered as Wolfrom seemingly coming out of nowhere ran right into Rusty causing a pileup of agitated Vampyres who were growling and grumbling for people to "Get your hand away from that!" and "Not the Grenades!" Before several spherical objects were thrown from the pile over the edge of the cliff to harmlessly explode down the cliffside. The pile of bodies however was still struggling to untangle themselves from the human/faunus knot.

Grimoire shook his head as he walked towards the knot. "Good morning ladies and gentlemen! How are all of you?" The bickering mass stopped for a moment to respond politely or not as politely. Rusty from deep in the pile decided to make his voice heard. "Grimoire? M'Lord? Can you kindly get us out of this pile? I would be ever so thankful." Grimoire chuckled as his semblance produced multiple arms of varying lengths and thicknesses that after forming reached into the pile and slowly untangling the pile of bodies.

In the distance team JNPR watched the interaction with perplexed expressions. "Are those?" Jaune began before Pyrrha nodded. "That woman looks to be from Atlas, perhaps she is in charge of the Vampires there." Team JNPR watched as the group of Vampires slowly dispersed into a form of circle as they moved towards the fairgrounds."We will probably see them the next time we go down to Chains Gate." Ren stated calmly as they walked towards the Fairgrounds as well.

20 Years before the war

The screams of people was the first thing Grimoire heard as he awoke. He smelled smoke and Dust, Heard the sound of cannon and the song of steel battling in the streets. He was up in an instant quickly putting on his tunic and leather armor with chainmail between them and after strapping his blade Ragnarok to his back and sheathing his short sword to his hip he placed an iron Salade over his skull. He ran down the stairs of he and his Brothers house and gathered an empty pack and stuffed it with two sets of clothes and enough food to last awhile before he ran out into the streets which had been consumed by soldiers both from Rosewood and cloaked figures battling it out with no holds barred. The bodies lay strewn about the street with most of them being from the attacking groups side. Grimoire began running towards the guard station Thorn had been posted at hoping beyond hope that he would still be there.

He passed the central square filled with fighting soldiers. He watched as a Rosewood guard was brought down by a war pick to the neck and an axe to the leg. He shook his head and continued running towards the Central Citadel of the City. He rounded the last corner and came onto the main street of the city which was surprisingly less populated than the other streets and citadel sat before him, a squat fortress with walls higher than the buildings around it and towers barely taller than that with the tallest being reserved for the King of Rosewood, Which Rosewood did not have, or any Royal family for that matter the city and surrounding land had been run by the nobles and military since the Late king's death roughly three years ago, died without any family, poor man.

Shaking his head out of his thoughts he ran towards the Citadel waving his arms and shouting for help. His words were answered when the gates opened and out of them rode a company of cavalrymen galloping as fast as it looked possible. Grimoire ran to the side to let them pass only to be grabbed and thrown onto the back of one of the horses. He looked up to argue with the rider only to see Thorn looking down at him with a serious look in his eyes. "They opened the gates, troops from the Kingdom of Atlas are pouring in, we have been ordered to retreat to the wilderness and hold out for as long as possible,the least we can do is make the Atlesian army suffer in the long run." They rode in silence, gathering others who wanted to leave as well until they had two full companies of horsemen and roughly thirty civilians to make up the families of the soldiers. As they left Grimoire looked back from atop the horse he had been given to watch the city he grew up in burn as he left it with those who chose to resist to find a new home, and hopefully have vengeance.
