Well, I've returned!
I got back from passing out candy to kids, so after weeks of writing, I give you… Blood Beast!
On October 13, a young lady was walking down the street to her home. Little did she know, she was being watched. She felt a breeze above her and a demon hissing.
She looked up, and before she had time to utter anything before something attacked her.
The next morning, the police found her corpse, drained of blood with four puncture wounds in her neck.
Meanwhile at the Beacon lunchroom, Teams RWBY, DIMD, and JNPR sat at their usual table. "So, who's going to the Hallow's Eve Masked Ball?" Matthew asked. 11 hands shot up.
"What, my own boyfriend isn't going to the ball?" Blake stated looking at her boyfriend, slightly miffed.
Currently, he was reading… a newspaper? "Since when do you read the paper?" Yang asked.
"Huh, oh sorry. I was focused on something else."
Blake looked at his appearance: his hair was askew, his eyes were slightly red, and he had bags under them.
"You look like you haven't slept in awhile. Is something wrong?" Blake asked, concerned.
"Take a look at this: lady found dead, drained of blood with 4 puncture wounds in her neck. That screams VAMPIRE!" Darrel said. "Not only that; this is the 8th one this month. Something is seriously wrong." He left and searched the lunchroom for a very specific person. He found said person, and the two left for the library.
Unaware, Blake followed them.
Meanwhile, Darrel & Vlad Von Reinhbach was in the library.
Vlad had pale white hair & skin, eyes black as coals. His attire was a hooded trench coat, black pants, and shoes. His symbol was a trio of blood drops on his breast pocket.
"Have you learned anything?" he asked, his voice unintentionally cutting through the air.
"Just that the Draculas can only be killed with a Crucifix and Holy Fire." Darrel smirked. "Good thing you have both."
"Well, I've learned that each murder is a young woman and at night."
"So, this is what you've been doing; trying to deal with a Grimm?" Blake stated as she walked into the library.
"Blake glad you could join us?" Darrel stated.
"So you think the murders are being committed by a Draculas? I thought they were a myth!"
"You're wrong!" Vlad shouted. "My whole life, while my younger brother got all the attention, I devoted my time with my uncle. We lost him to a Draculas, the same that has returned in 13 years! Since then, I've trained to slay it, made a weapon to kill it; HELL, I've even unlocked my aura and semblance my dang uncle had!"
"Well, if you are done, and since we have the 3 key members, I can set my plan in motion." Darrel said.
"What plan?" his girlfriend asked. "You will be the bait to lure it out, and then you and I will weaken it to the point where Vlad will kill it."
"I believe that is an excellent plan, Mr. Maximus. My question is, when & where will it be orchestrated?" Vlad asked.
"Tomorrow night at the docks."
The three departed from the library, with Blake pulling her shape-shifting boyfriend aside and then slapping him.
"That's for keeping me in the dark." She said, upset.
"I deserve that." Then she kissed him affectionately.
"That's because I still love you, nevertheless." She said, wrapping her arms around him, and nuzzling her head in his chest. Darrel also wrapped his arms around her as well.
"Well, I don't know about you, but after nearly a week of little to zero sleep, I could use some." He said yawning. He headed to his dorm, his Faunus girlfriend not letting up her embrace. The two entered his dorm and Darrel slipped his shoes off and climbed into his bed, as did Blake.
"Quick question: why are you snuggling me? Not that I mind or anything." He asked.
"I thought that by having your girlfriend sleeping with you, you would be able to sleep better." She then gave a 'puppy dog pouty lips face'. HOW IRONIC. "May I pwease snuggle wif you?"
"I don't care if you asked or not; you're always aloud to snuggle with me if you want. After all, you are my girlfriend."
Blake gave a rather loud yay before pressing her body against his, nuzzling her head in the crook of his neck.
As the day progressed, the rest of team DIMD informed Ozpin of their leader's actions, and since he had already knew about it the moment it started, he allowed the boy to rest.
The next day was rather uneventful and soon, Darrel, Blake, and Vlad were now in the locker room, grabbing their gear.
"Remember that if we stick to the plan, everything will go alright." Darrel said, reassuringly.
The trio departed and headed for the airships and soon arrived at the docks. They all landed in the center of the docks, and their ride departed.
"Okay, you know the plan, right?" Darrel asked. The other two nodded.
While Darrel & Vlad dashed away to the shadows, Blake simply walked around the docks. "OH NO! I'M JUST A YOUNG LADY, OUT BY HERSELF! AT NIGHT! WHATEVER WILL I DO?!" Blake shouted, making as much noise as possible.
Suddenly, the Draculas emerged from behind the shipping containers.
It was roughly 6 feet tall, and covered in black skin that formed a cloak over its broad shoulders. It had bone armor & spikes on its arms, legs, & back. It did have the characteristic bone mask with red markings & eyes, but what was surprising; its mouth had 4 8inch long fangs projecting outwards from its jaw.
"Normally, I wouldn't reveal myself to my victims, but I'll make an exception." The vampire Grimm said with a Transylvanian accent.
"You won't be able to drink her blood, I'm afraid." A hissing reptilian voice said.
Emerging from the shadows of some shipping containers was Darrel as a 30 feet long, 10 foot tall, 2.5 ton Baryonyx. He was brown with yellow stripes on his back, legs, and underbelly, and a lime green eyespot. Said eyes were yellow with black slits.
"You must also deal with me!" Vlad shouted as he appeared opposite of Darrel.
"So, the shape shifter, the Reinhbach, and a Faunus girl. You shall face the wrath of… Draculas!" it shouted.
He opened his mouth and he spat with a barrage of red arrow-shaped energy blasts, which Blake dodged with her Semblance, Darrel countered with electrical orbs, and Vlad absorbed them with his sword, Impaler.
Blake charged forward, Gambol shroud in katana form. She made a sideways slice, but the Draculas blocked it with his claws and made a slash with his other arm knocking her back.
Darrel lunged forward, hook claw raised high. He made a downwards slash, which the Grimm barrel rolled under. The Spinosaur then tried to snap him up in his jaws, and he was able to grab it by its leg. He tossed it and discharged a blue electric bolt from his mouth, effectively pushing it even further back.
Electrocuted with 4,000 volts, the Vampire Grimm was completely paralyzed, allowing Vlad to land the final blow.
He grabbed it by its throat. "This is for my uncle!" he shouted. He plunged his crucifix shaped blade into its chest, the blade erupting from its back.
The Draculas gurgled in pain, foam bubbling in its mouth before its body went limp and its eyes dimmed. Then it disintegrated into ash.
"Well, it is over." Vlad said, sheathing his sword.
"So, what do you plan on doing now?" Darrel asked, since he was back to his usual self. "I'll still continue to become a Huntsman, to honor my family."
"So, what do we do? It is too late for any airships to take us back to Beacon." Blake stated.
"Well, we're in luck; I know a place we can crash for the night." Darrel said. The three left the docks and Darrel directed them to a small apartment complex.
"This where I lived when I went to Signal."
The three entered and were greeted by a receptionist. "May I help you?"
"We would like to rent a pair of rooms for the night." Darrel said. She handed them two room keys. "You're rooms are #'s 17 and 20." They took their keys and walked down the hall until they came to said rooms.
"See you two in the morning." Vlad said and then entered his room. Blake & Darrel entered their room as well.
"I just remembered something." He said fearfully.
"What?"
"We didn't bring a change of clothes, or sleepwear."
Blake smirked. "Oh well we'll just have to sleep in our underwear then." She noticed his nervous look. "Honey, you've seen me in my underwear before, why should it be any different now?" she asked.
"It's just, I'm afraid of what you'll see under my clothes." He said with a sorrowful tone.
"Then why don't you change first so you can get it over with?"
He groaned. "Fine."
He stepped into the bathroom and a few minutes later, he emerged. He wore nothing but a pair of baggy, blue underwear, revealing his toned body.
And Blake couldn't take her eyes off of him.
"So, what's wrong with this?" she asked, motioning to his rather toned body.
"It's what's on my back."
He turned around and his back was littered with what looked like several small incisions in his back.
"What happened to you?" she asked, appalled by said scars as she rubbed his back.
"These scars are from when the WF injected me with the DNA of the various extinct animals. Don't worry; I fell zero pain from them.
Blake then went into the bathroom and came back in her matching purple lacy underwear. The two climbed into bed and fell asleep in each other's arms.
The next day they left, albeit in their same clothes, returned to Beacon, and were paid handsomely. Oh, and got showers too.
October 31st. The day of the Ball.
Currently, Teams RWBY & IMD were in the ballroom, decorated with orange & black balloons. They wore dresses, suits, and masks of their signature colors.
"Hey, where's my Danny?" Blake asked, like a child.
"Boss said he wanted to make and entrance." Matthew said.
They heard the door open, and what they saw made them laugh.
Darrel was wearing a usual tux, but he didn't wear a mask. Instead, he had blue feathers that curled up around his eyes and a Tragopan style feathered beard hanging from his chin.
He walked towards his team & his girlfriend's team, all 7 of them trying to contain their laughter.
"So, what kind of mask is that?" Yang asked.
"It's not a mask; this is what remains after I've changed back from a certain dinosaur. I did that so I could have something that looked like a mask." He said, defending himself.
Blake simply wrapped her arms around him, raised her mask up, and kissed him.
"I don't care how you look; you're still my Prince Charming."
And before they danced the waltz, they shared yet another kiss.
Well, another chapter written!
Also, whoever can guess who the dinosaur Darrel 'wore' to the Ball? Whoever gets it right, PM your idea for an OC grimm that will appear next chapter.
FYI, next one is a major tear jerker, at least for me and Darrel.
