RWBY: Creature Shifter
Chapter 3: The First Step & Jack the Ripper!
Hello, Fanfiction Archive! I apologize for the hiatus. I've been busy with the real world, which has been a major witch to me.
This Chapter will be the one where things will really kick off.
Also, I'm scrapping the Dragon form because to me, it seemed a little too unrealistic. Sorry if you liked the idea.
Without further ado, here is chapter 3!

And now, on to the chapter!
Darrel wakes up and notices everyone slowly getting up considering it is 7:00 a.m. afterwards; he grabs a change of clothes and heads to the restroom.
"Today is the day I get to show this academy my power." Darrel says with confidence.
After changing clothes and then relieving himself, he heads to back to the ballroom. He begins to put his stuff away and as he does this, he notices every now and then, Blake is staring at him.
'Looks like the blackette is interested in me.' Darrel thought.
After packing up his stuff, he then heads to the cafeteria and sees that the staff has prepared an enormous spread of food. Darrel then selects five foods: a trio of pancakes, a glass of OJ, a carton of raspberry yogurt, two sausage patties, and a chocolate donut. Because if you see sweets, and you are going to be active, only select one.
Darrel then selects a table near the entrance and begins to dive in. Soon, he notices Blake coming to join him. Blake then sits down next to him.
"Good morning, Darrel." Blake greeted him.
"Morning, Blake. Glad you could join me." Darrel said, greeting her.
"So, Darrel about last night…" Blake inquired about last night's events.
"Look Blake, I did that because even with the candle light, I couldn't see and I didn't want to blind people with a flashlight." Darrel explained about his side of the whole Troodon incident.
"So, Darrel, maybe after the first week of school ends, maybe you and I could go out somewhere?" Blake asked Darrel, making it sound like a date.
No sooner did she say that, she started blushing and he almost started choking on his donut.
"Blake, if you are asking me out, my answer is yes. I'll go out with you. I will tell about plans tomorrow." Darrel said compassionately after swallowing his donut.
Blake's eyes went wide and a smile formed on her face. Blake then embraced Darrel in a hug and then gave him a peck on the cheek. This left both with a blush on their faces.
"Thank you, Darrel for your answer." Blake thanked him.
Both finished their meals and then disposed of the rest before heading to where the lockers where… with both of their lockers being next to each other. Darrel then made a snicker of laughter.
"What's so funny?" Blake inquired about him snickering.
"Nothing. Nothing at all." Darrell 'lied.
"Code for locker: 1131954." Darrel muttered to him self his locker code.
Darrel then pulls out his weapon: Ol'Painless.
Ol'Painless is a black and white spear/anti-material rifle. The spear form is a long staff with black and white stripes going down the cylinder with the blade being bone white.
Darrel then pulls his weapon out. He also glances at his secondary weapon: Compliance. Compliance resembles the pistol that thugs and cops use, except the wire at the bottom is blue instead of red.
"Hey, what kind of weapon is that?" Blake inquires about his other weapon.
"This Compliance, a pistol that uses electrical Dust crystals to fire electrical blasts that paralyze the target for 30 seconds, sort of like a taser, if you will only with a little extra power to it." Darrel explained his pistol.
"Ol'Painless on the other hand, is my main weapon. The spear is sharp enough to slice through steel. The ant-material rifle mode fires powerful bullets that can pierce a Death Stalker, at least in theory. Not only that, but it also has chains at the butt of the spear that I can use like a grappling hook." Darrel explains his primary weapon.
Darrel then converts then converts his weapon to gun mode. The sniper rifle looks the same as the spear mode, except the scope's lens is red. Darrel then converts his weapon back to spear form and then holstered it. Afterwards, he heads off to where the initiation will start.
"See you on the field of battle, Ms. Belladonna." Darrel 'flirts' with Blake.
As heads to where initiation is, he notices Jaune trying to flirt with Weiss and Pyrrha Nikos, the champion of the Mistral Tournament.
"Jaune, you are doing it all wrong, my friend." Darrel says with swag.
All three people turn to see Darrel leaning against some lockers.
"What do you mean by that, Mr…?" Jaune inquired about both what he meant and who he is.
"Just follow me, will ya?" Darrel said with a little cockiness.
Jaune follows Darrel behind the lockers, leaving the ladies confused.
"Name's Darrel Maximus. I know you when I heard Ruby and Yang saying something about you last night. And what I mean is that you are flirting with both girls instead of with just one." Darrel explained to Jaune.
"So which girl should I try and talk with?" Jaune inquired.
"Flirt with Pyrrha because she seems interested in getting to know you while Weiss seems irritated." Darrel explained his choice.
Jaune then walks back to the girls and ignores Weiss and talks to Pyrrha.
"Would all first year students please report to Beacon Cliff for initiation?" Glynda's voice on a PA announced.
Everyone then heads for the cliff overlooking the Emerald forest. Darrel is positioned between Blake and a guy with olive skin, black hair, red eyes and an average build. His clothes were a red vest and cloak, black jeans, and black combat boots. He had the logo of a shark on his arm, possibly a family crest. His weapon resembled a red and black double barrel shotgun.
Ozpin and Glynda stood in front of the students.
Ozpin began his speech, "For years, you have trained to become warriors. And today, your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest."
Glynda then began her half of the speech, "Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of teams. Well allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be assigned teammates… today."
Darrel was eager and impatient to begin.
Ozpin then continues his half of the 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 you can work with. That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your next partner for the next four years."
Some students, like Ruby, were scared, while others, like Darrel were eager to begin.
Ozpin then concluded, "After you've partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition along the way, so don't hesitate to destroy everything in your path… or you will die. You will be monitored and graded for the initiation, but our instructors won't intervene. You find an abandoned temple at the end of the path, containing several relics. Each pair must chose one and return to the top of the cliff. We will regard that item as well as your grading appropriately. Are there any questions?"
No one questioned Ozpin.
"Good. Now take your positions." He instructed them.
Darrel positions himself low to the ground like an animal would before pouncing, while Blake takes out Gambol Shroud and strikes a ninja-esque pose. The mechanism beneath their pressure plates click and they are propelled into the air.
'Wooooohooooooooo!" Darrel screams at the top of his lungs in excitement from the rush.
Darrel is now close the tree-line, so he pulls out Ol'Painless in spear form and then activates its grappling hook, and launches it towards a tree and then he propels himself down the tree via swinging. Afterwards, he pulls his weapon out of the tree and switches to sniper rifle mode and scans for danger. He then puts Ol'Painless away and begins walking to where the temple is.
Before Darrel crosses a river that runs through the forest, he hears some rustling amongst the brush around him. Emerging from the brush, were a dozen creatures. They resembled werewolves, except they wore bone masks with red lining and they had red eyes and spikes sprouted from their backs, arms and legs.
These are Beowolves, the most common type of Grimm to exist.
"Only a dozen Beowolves? Too easy." Darrel smirks with confidence.
Darrel then pulls Ol'Painless out and instead of lunging towards them; he stabs it into the ground.
"Utah's thief." Darrel proclaimed.
Darrel began to convulse in pain. His body grew larger. His skull grew larger, longer, and slightly thinner. Emerging from his snout were small yet razor sharp teeth. His neck became more S-shaped. His arms grew larger and more muscular and two of his fingers shrunk, and the two that remained grew large claws. His legs became larger and more muscular. One of his toes shrunk, one reduced to a hallux, and the three that remained grew claws, with the once third toe raised off the ground with a foot long slasher claw. Emerging from his posterior was a tail that came to a stiff end. He now had red scales covering the topside of his body, black triangular stripes on the back of his neck, back, and legs, and his underside had olive green colored scales. Emerging from the back his head, back of his arms, and along the side of is tail, were small white feathers. Top things off, his eyes were olive green with black horizontal slits.
Afterwards, he let out a long shrill hiss/ raptorial shriek. Darrel was now a 23 feet long, 8 foot tall, 1,100 Utahraptor
"So," Darrel said in a hissing voice. "Who wants to dance with Jack the Ripper first?" Darrel challenged and mocked the Beowolves before charging at the nearst one.
Wow! Talk about a cliffhanger!
Now let me explain how Darrel fights: if he is fighting a human, he uses Ol'Painless. But if he is fighting a creature, he will use one of his forms.
Also, the forms that you will 'see' are ones that I know there is a zt2 download for and I'm able of obtaining, at least for most.
R&R, my friends!
