I do not own RWBY or its characters. It belongs to Roster Teeth
The mysterious person from the last chapter was walking down a hallway towards a door guarded by two White Fangs soldiers. The White Fang guards gave him a glare. The Mysterious person ignore them and enter the room.
Inside the room was a giant crystal right in the middle. Beside the crystal was Adam. The crystal began to shine and the image of Salem appeared. The Mysterious person is wearing a black cloak with gloves. On his back is a double sided sword. He wears a black mask that covers his entire face with only his white eyes to be only thing could see.
"Master Salem what do you need me for," the Mysterious person said.
"To answer for your disobedience Malakai," Salem said with anger in voice.
"You mean trying to stop you from destroying amazing opportunity. Besides we didn't lose anything important," Malakai trying to defend himself.
"Your monsters kill my half my men including the commander," Adam yelled enrage.
"Like I said nothing important was lost," Malakai said with a chill in his voice.
Adam pulled out his sword began to charge at Malakai. Malakai grabbed his Double sided from his back and block Adam's attack. Malakai push Adam with his weapon.
"STOP," Salem yelled. Adam put his sword away
"Control yourself," Salem said calmly.
"But he killed my men," Adam trying to argue.
"I will punish himself. For now focus on the plan," Salem ordering Adam.
"He will betray us," Adam said still enrage.
"I said focus on the plan," Salem with a higher voice.
"Yes master," Adam calmly agrees and leave the room.
"Such person to overreact," Malakai said.
"You were given orders to destroy Ruby," Salem said irritated
"We don't need to. Ruby has the potential to become an extremely powerful Huntress. Imagine all that power on our side," Malakai said with some admiration.
"She's too big of a threat. We need to eliminate her," Salem getting more irritated.
"Is that the reason why you want to destroy her? Or is it for some other reason," Malakai said.
"That's not important," Salem said.
"Does she remind your past? Or someone you used to know," Malakai said with curiosity.
"You walk a fine line. Don't tempt me to destroy you," Salem said.
"Fine I'll continue with my work," Malakai said. He left the room. The crystal turn off and the room went dark.
Malakai activate a communicator and begins to talk into it.
"You know your orders servant," he said.
"Yes. To get Ruby to Haven academy," a voice from the communicator said.
"Exactly. Contact me if there are any developments," Malakai said.
"Yes master," the voice from the communicator said
Camera switches to Ruby and Team JNPR
It was raining hard on the swamp area that they were hiding in.
They were behind some trees. Lie was on watch while Ruby, Nora and Jaune were talking with each other.
"Who were those people," Jaune still in shocked.
"Whatever they are certainly not friendly," Ruby said.
"Maybe the white fang got new friends," Nora said.
"They act more like enemies then friends," Ruby said.
"I guess they don't get along," Nora said.
"It should not be possible," Lie said to himself.
"What's not possible," Ruby asked.
"I was shooting at him non-stop and he just deflect the bullets," Lie said in disbelief.
"That can't be," Jaune said.
"Not to mention that they manage to see me coming," Ruby said.
"Who are these people," Lie said.
"I believe I can answer that," a voice called out.
Ruby and the gang turn around to where the voice came from and saw a teenage boy sitting on a rock. This Teenage wore a black mask that covers his eyes and brown hair. He wore a green jacket with a blue shirt and pants.
"Who are you," Ruby asked.
"A friend, you don't need to be hostile," the person said.
"How did you sneak up on us," Jaune said.
"It's easy when people are distracted," the person said.
He stand up the rock and walked towards Ruby and Team JNPR. He shook Ruby's hand and said, "The name is Xizor,"
"Nice to meet to you Xizor," Ruby still in disbelief on how he manage sneak up on them.
"What are you doing here," Jaune imminently asked.
"I can ask you the same," Xizor fireback.
Jaune was taking about by this.
"What are people like you doing here," he asked.
"We're trying to get to Haven Academy," Ruby said.
"Haven," Xizor said intrigue.
"But based on our situation we'll never get there," Ruby said disappointed.
"What is your situation," Xizor asked.
"Well were defend less, the White Fang have gotten new allies, the roads possibly have been blocked," Ruby said in defeat.
"Interesting. How about this, What if I can tell you I know a way to Haven that is not blocked by the White Fang," Xizor said.
This grabs Ruby's attention.
"You do," she asked.
"Yes I do, But it's dangerous," Xizor said.
"I'll have to talk with my friends about this," Ruby said.
"Sure take all the time you want," Xizor said.
Ruby and Team JNPR gather up and distance themselves from Xizor.
"I think we should go with him," Ruby whisper.
"Are you crazy we don't even know him," Lie said.
"But he might be able to take us to Haven," Ruby said.
"And what if he doesn't. He could be working for the White Fang for all we know," Jaune said.
"He also wears that weird mask," Nora said. Everybody turns to Xizor and he just waits there for their answer.
"I'm going with him," Ruby said.
"Ruby we don't what we're getting into if we go with him," Jaune said.
"Well you guys don't need to come along, you can go home if don't want to," Ruby said rather upset.
"Ruby we're your friends we're always going to be there," Jaune said concerned
"So are coming with me," Ruby asked.
Team JNPR looked at each other and sigh.
"Fine we'll come," Jaune said.
"Xizor we're coming with you," Ruby said.
"Good timing," Xizor said.
"Why's that," Ruby said.
"Because I think you're White Fang friends have found us," Xizor said.
Ruby looked past the tree and saw a squad of white Fang soldiers.
"Come on let's go before they find us," Xizor said.
"I think I heard something," one of the white fang said.
"Too late let's go," Xizor said.
Xizor began to run with the others following him.
"Where is this cave," Ruby said.
"Right here," Xizor stopped in front of a cave that goes down.
"Is this safe," Jaune said with fear.
"Safer down there then up here," Xizor said. They ran into the cave just as the White Fang were in there area.
The Cave was pitch black and nobody couldn't see anything.
"Does anyone have a light," Jaune said.
Xizor then lite up the room with torch.
"Where did you get that from," Jaune asked.
"From that guy," Xizor pointed at a skeleton on the guard.
Ruby and Team JNPR cringe at this.
"Let's keep going," Xizor said. They began to walk again.
They stopped at three different paths.
"Which way do we go," Nora asked.
"We go left," Xizor said.
They went down the left path.
Everyone remained silent for a few seconds until Nora asked, "Why is this path so dangerous,"
"Its home to many Grimm," Xizor said.
"Wait were in Grimm territory and you didn't tell us that," Jaune said angry.
"I told you it was dangerous. But you said were okay with it. Don't worry we haven't seen any Grimm yet," Xizor defend himself.
"But we have no weapons and you decide to take us into a place where the Grimm lived," Jaune infuriated
Sounds of growls began to echo the tunnel.
"Looks like we have company," Xizor said
Two Grimm Beowolf slowly walk towards them.
"So this is the end," Jaune said.
"Not yet. Hold this," Xizor passed the torch to Ruby and runs towards the Grimm. He then pulled out two swords and then jumps and lands on one of the Beowolf. He then stabs his sword into the Grimm's head. However the Beowolf knocks Xizor off it head and sends him flying into a wall. The Grimm runs towards him and Charge at Xizor. However Xizor rolled away and the Grimm hit its head on the wall. However the other Beowolf grabbed Xizor with it palms and tried to bite his head. However Xizor use his sword to stab the wolf in throat. The Beowolf let go of Xizor and dropped dead. Xizor breathe a sigh of relief. However he turn his head and saw the Grimm he stabbed in the head began to charge at him. He stand up and raised his sword and hold his ground. But then Ruby jumped on the Beowolf's head and push Xizor sword down farther and jumps off the Grimm. Which cause the Grimm to roll towards Xizor and stops right in front of him.
Xizor pulled the sword out of Beowolf skull and walk towards Ruby. He grabbed the Torch from Ruby and continue to walk down the tunnel.
"You're Welcome," Ruby annoyed at Xizor not saying thank you to her.
"Come on let's go," Xizor said.
"Oh no we're not going with you," Jaune said.
"Oh is this because I didn't tell you about the Grimm. If you want to fight the Grimm be might," Xizor said.
They heard more growls coming from the direction they came from.
"Move out," Xizor said.
They began to continue down the tunnel.
"How many Grimm live here," Ruby asked.
"You don't want to know," Xizor said.
"Yeah you're probably right," Ruby said.
"Is it too late to leave," Lie asked.
"Well if you want to fight the Grimm with your bare hands then no you can still go," Xizor said.
"You don't need to be so rude," Lie said.
"Well since I'm your escort I can as rude as I want," Xizor fireback.
"Still you don't need to be," Lie mumbled.
Xizor raised his right hand to signal them to stop just before they enter a massive cavern.
"Why are we stopping," Ruby asked said.
"Because of those," Xizor pointed to the top of the cavern. At the top were massive bat creatures.
"What are those," Ruby asked.
"Grimm," Xizor said.
"They don't look like any Grimm I seen," Jaune said.
"Why doesn't that surprise me," Xizor said mockingly.
"Alright for this part you all need to stay close to me," he said.
"What if we don't," Nora asked.
"Well then you will be in their stomachs," Xizor said jokily. He turn his head towards the others were glaring at him.
"What," Xizor said confused.
"Get around and be quiet, we don't want to wake them up," he said.
They enter the cave and slowly walk through it. They made sure to not wake up the Grimm bats.
"I have a question. How do you know your way around," Ruby whisper to Xizor.
"This isn't my first time in this cave," Xizor whisper back.
They were a few meters away from another tunnel when gunshots were fired. They all ducked to the ground. They look at the way they got in and saw the White Fang.
"Kill them," one of the White Fang yelled. The White Fang continue to shoot at Ruby and the others. However in doing so, they woke up the Grimm Bats.
"You idiots you woke them up," Nora said.
The Bats began swarm at the White Fang and began to eat them.
"And that's our sign to leave," Xizor said. They all ran towards the tunnel. However the Grimm Bats landed and blocked the tunnel. Xizor put Torch in front of Grimm and they see what it is.
The Grimm bat has a bone mask covering its face and only allowing its piercing red eyes to be seen. It raised its wings and screamed an unearthly screech. It wings had bone on the edges and the legs had bones coming out of them.
The other Grimm bats began to surround the group and screamed at them.
"Why are they not attacking," Jaune said.
"Because light blinds them. They know we're here but they don't know how dangerous we are," Xizor said.
"So we're safe," Lie asked.
"Well until the torch goes out or they figure we're easy picking," Xizor said.
"That's not really encouraging," Ruby said.
"Does anyone I have a plan," Jaune said nervous.
"Just give me a minute," Xizor said. A moment later he said, "I got nothing,"
"I got an idea. I'll distract them while you guys get to the tunnel," Ruby said.
"You did realize that they can see where you going," Xizor said.
"I know. But it will give you guys time to get to the tunnel," Ruby said.
"Ruby you can't," Jaune said.
"Sorry Jaune," Ruby speed away with speed into the darkness. The Bats began to chase after Ruby
"Ruby no," Jaune yelled.
"We need to go," Xizor said
He grabbed Jaune by the arm and pulled him as they ran away.
Ruby turn her head to see her friends got into the tunnel and began to turn back. She ducked as Grimm Bat tried to grab her. She jumped on one of the Bats heads and launched herself with her speed. She landed in front of friends.
They began to run down the tunnel until they were far away from the Bats. They were breathing heavily.
"That was close," Jaune said.
"We should rest a bit," Ruby said.
"Good idea," Lie said.
Xizor put the torch on the floor and everybody sat around it.
"So Xizor what can you tell us about the people that attack us earlier," Ruby asked.
"Oh yeah. I will tell you after I get some sleep," Xizor said.
So this is my recent chapter.
What are your thoughts?
