-Epilogue-
Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang arrives to Professor Ozpin's office, escorted by Qrow. When they came in, they see the headmaster at his desk, Prof. Goodwitch standing next to him, and a man they never seen or meet before.
He was tall, pale white, and wore long black trench coat. His hair was black and spiky, and had one eye patch for his right eye.
"Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang, sorry to call you all at this late of time, but I would like you to meet this man." Professor Ozpin stated.
"Greeting, Team RWBYE. As it is proper to greet your full name in regular manner, I can't say it based on protocol. You may call me Shade, and I am the director of CCSSAD." Shadow said.
"CCSSAD? You mean the CCSSAD!?" Weiss gasped.
"Hey Weiss, what is the CCSSAD?" Ruby asked.
"You never heard of them?" Weiss looked surprised at her leader/partner. "They are!"
"Cross-Continental Secret Service Agency Department." Blake admitted, which Weiss frowned at her for stealing what she was going to say. "They are basically an organization who keeps the information about each kingdom a secret. They're kind of like a spy group, Ruby."
"Really!? Like from a movie!?" She asked with a star shining in her eyes.
"Not quite like from fictional works." Shadow said. "I'm from the real deal, and even though you're young girl, Miss Rose, please keep yourself professional."
"Oh, I am sorry, sir." She said sheepishly.
"So, why are we exactly?" Yang wondered.
"You see, Mr. Shadow here wants to discuss about your member, Mr. Knight." Ozpin admitted.
"Ellix!?" They all said in unison.
"Do you know where he is!?" Yang shouted.
"Miss Long, calm down. Let's breath in and out." Professor Goodwitch said like an order.
She calmed herself down. "Yeah, what about him?"
"As I can probably guess…well no need to guess, your teammate, Ellix Knight, has ran away approximately 3 hours ago, correct?" Shadow asked.
"Yes, he did, sir." Blake answered. "He knocked me out cold while we were getting snack, suggested by my partner here for celebration."
"I see. Well, here is some shade of truth about your friend." Shade said as the four girls listened very carefully. "What I am about to say is a top-secret, classified information. Before I say it, each of you must promise me that you will keep this a secret from your friends, family, and everyone else besides all the people who presented in this office right now. All of you will do that, correct?"
The girls looked at each other for a moment, and then nodded in agreement to Shade. "Very well. Then, let's begin. Your friend and teammate, Ellix Knight, had work for the CCSSAD alongside other three selected young people with unique talents and skills for a secret, special operative or simply put, a mission. The objective of the mission was to infiltrate one of the White Fang's secret HQs to achieve a secret weapon the organization was rumored to be developing."
The girls looked a bit shock, but they kept their passive look as they listened calmly with interests in their eyes. "Fortunately, they succeeded the mission, but unfortunately…he and his team decided to disband and never came back to report the result of the mission. They did not tell us or me about what they found out, or anything else."
"Basically, Ellix and his other teammates became rogue agents." Qrow spoke, slouching on the side of the support pedestals that attached from the floor to the ceiling.
"Exactly…" Shade said.
"Wow…I…we didn't know that Ellix was a secret spy agent! That sounds so…um, cool." Ruby said, trying to sound serious, but also excited.
"You may think so, but what he and his teammates have done is a harsh violation to my organization, which brings you four here." Shade said.
"What do you mean, sir?" Blake asked.
"Mr. Shade here wants to hire you four, Team RWBYE…well in this case, just RWBY to find Ellix and bring him back." Ozpin admitted.
"Exactly." Shade nodded. "I believe that only four of you young huntresses can bring him back with ease. Whatever he has when he and his teammates exploited the White Fang is also being searched by the White Fang. It may relate with the secret weapon they're developing. Whatever it is, we don't want to let it fall into the wrong hand."
The girls looked calm, but Yang was the first one to speak. "Sir, we will take on the mission and bring Ellix back."
RWB looked at Yang with shocked expression, but deep down, they know the reason.
"Yang…" Ruby sighed.
"We will bring him back, no matter what." Yang said determinedly.
"I agree with my partner, sir." Blake joined in.
"So will I." Weiss said.
Ruby thought to herself for a moment and then decided. "They need me as their leader, and I am worry for my teammate, Ellix. I will do this mission, too."
Shade nodded. "Very good. I am glad that we can cooperate, and I know a perfect spot where you Team RWBY can start looking for him, and I am sure you will find him there."
He took a device of some kind, which projected a hologram of the map of Vale. "According to my Intel, Mr. Knight is heading to this location." The map zoomed in closer, presenting a city of some kind. "We believed that he is currently heading to this location, Shimmer Rain City or by official name, the State of Shimmer Rain."
"Shimmer Rain City? The most beautiful, historical, artistic, and romantic city in all of Remnant? That Shimmer Rain City!?" Weiss asked excitedly. Everyone stared at her, which she cringed a bit. "Ah, I mean, he is heading there?"
"…Yes, he is. We do not know why, but he is heading there. Most likely to meet up with his other teammate. We want you four to head there as well, and find him and catch him before he escapes." Shade explained.
"Shimmer Rain City…where have I heard that before?" Ruby asked.
"It is an old, pretty city, but…not the friendliest place in the world, for at least us Hunters." Qrow stated.
"What do you mean, Uncle Qrow?" Ruby asked.
"Didn't you pay attention in Dr. Oobleck's class?" Weiss asked scowling. She responded with a rubbing on her head.
Weiss just sighed. "Shimmer Rain City, although part of Vale, is an independent state, meaning it acts as its own country."
"Oh!" Ruby finally gets it.
"But, unlike anywhere else in Remnant, they have an old law that states they don't use Huntsmen or Huntresses to defend their city, but the city itself must protect its own citizens and itself."
"Huh, why would they do that?" Ruby asked.
"If you were paying attention in class, you would know." Weiss scowled in response.
"Anyway." Shade said, turning their attention back to him. "As Miss Schnee said, Shimmer Rain City is very strict when Hunters present within itself. The government of the city state believes that having or hiring Hunters make them and their people weak, bringing fear to the general public. Enough about the city background, you will learn them more once you arrive there, but as for arriving and staying there, you four must be undercover."
Ruby looked very interested now. "Undercover mission? Fine by me!"
"All of you four will be undercover as an extra for a movie." Shade said as the hologram changed to important information. Ruby squealed for a moment, but stopped herself by holding it.
"You four will be undercover as an extra for the mystery film, 'Sherrylock Holmes.' I am sure you four young ladies heard about it, and I suspect at least one of you is a fan." Shade said as he took a quick glance at Ruby. "All the information each of you need will be in this individual Scroll I will hand to each of you now."
He handed them the specialized Scroll. Ruby drooled over, feeling very cool about it. "Now, that is all I have to say. As for my last words, good luck to you, Team RWBY. No matter what, you must find Mr. Knight before the White Fang finds him."
He left the office quietly as they watched him go by. Qrow glanced at him slightly as he glanced at him, too.
"Professor Ozpin." Ruby spoke.
"Yes, Miss Rose. What is it?" Ozpin asked.
"May I do one teensy little thing?" Ruby asked, gesturing her fingers into a loop of some kind. The other girls didn't like the sound of that.
"Um, yes. What would that be?" He asked with a curious look.
"Everyone, please cover your ear." She said.
"Uh oh." Qrow said. Everyone did what she told them to when she burst out a scream that is worthy enough to break a glass, but it didn't luckily.
-Meanwhile-
Adam Taurus came into a private quarter at some kind of secret headquarter.
A mysterious figure was standing as he looked through the window, facing away.
"Master Leo, I came to discuss about…"
"You suspect about Cinder and her lackeys' allegiance with us, the Fang." Leo spoke.
"Yes, Master. With all due respect, I don't trust her or her friends at all." Adam said.
"In time, my loyal apprentice, we will get rid of them and suck her power out. For now, she and her friends are useful to our cause and personally, Cinder and I share the same enemy. Do I make myself clear, Adam?" He said, revealing his full appearance when he turned around.
Like other member of the White Fang, we wore clothes, mix of white and black, but he had metal pads for his shoulder with long white cloak flowing down on his back. He wore a golden mask that looks like a face of a lion with discolored eyes; one red and one blue.
"I understand, sir." Adam nodded.
"Now as for our next step, one of our Intel reported that our common enemy, Ellix Knight is heading to Shimmer Rain City. I want you, along with some soldiers and the Red Reaper to go there and capture him."
"Yes, Master. I will go there immediately." Adam bowed before he left the room.
Adam walked down the corridor as he headed to a certain training room. He entered the room, and met him, meditating. The man wore red clothes with long red cloak and hood. He wore a dark gray skull mask over his face.
"Master Leo ordered us to head to Shimmer Rain City. Are you mentally prepared for it?" Adam asked.
The red hooded figure stood up from his sitting. He stood about around Qrow's height, but his body was more build with muscle. "Yes…yes I am."
The figure summoned out his weapon, transforming completely into a red scythe, looking a bit similar to Ruby's Crescent Rose. He waved his scythe around and sliced one training dummy's head off.
Author's Note:
And, so Volume 1 is completed! I decided to just upload the rest of the chapters, including this epilogue today since I edited them all at my best ability. I am glad that I finished this before I go back to college, with my last semester before I graduate in May. That reminds me about update; well, unfortunately I may not be as active because I will be busy with school and job hunting, too. It is my last semester and I want to be active in seeking jobs and doing school-related stuff. However, that does not mean I will abandon this fanfiction and all other stories I'm working and future stories that I want to work on, someday in the...well, future.
I really did two fanfiction stories for RWBY. First with Tales of Ellix Knight: RWBY-OC, and second and currently, Tales of Ellix Knight 2: Dusk till Dawn Volume 1. Like I said in the beginning, this is just the first of the multiple volumes I want to write for this fanfiction. It is a series of mine that I work on when I have the free time. I just want to say thank you for supporting me, and I hope all of you will continue to do so for what will come in the future. What's crazy about this particular volume is that yesterday (1/12/16) is the 2-week anniversary since I started writing this volume. Time files!
Speaking about the future, what will go from here you ask? Well, there is Volume 2, but before that, in my prequel fanfiction aka my first RWBY fanfiction, I said that I want to do a movie for this series in between each volume. For now, the unofficial title for that movie will be called "RWBY OC The Movie". The title will be updated at later time, and I will start working on it since pretty much most of the stuff is completed for Volume 1. The only things that are left are the special ending and bloopers. I will get those two at later point, even though I already finished writing the special ending while I didn't start the bloopers chapter yet. I am going to take a break in writing RWBY fanfiction for a bit while I do some research and brainstorm stuff for the movie fanfiction, and I will probably work on my other fanfiction I want to catch up with.
So, what will it be about exactly and when exactly this movie fanfiction be out? Well, I really don't know when it will be out. Like I said, I may not be as active as possible once college begins again for me, but I think I will have a trailer for it, which I will upload it here in this fanfiction, so this fanfiction will not be closed until I upload a chapter specifically for the trailer. Other thing I will tell you about this movie fanfiction is as you can already guess, Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang will travel to Shimmer Rain City, undercover as movie extra in order to find Ellix and bring him back, but many mysteries have left to be answered, such as this mysterious Code that Cinder Fall and White Fang want that, according to them and Shade, the mysterious director of the CSSAD, is a piece of something that relates with a secret weapon. As well as mention about Ellix's other teammates. It appears there are something surrounding Ellix, but perhaps the questions will be answer in the movie and Volume 2, which will centers around that.
Anyway, guys. I just want to say again if I have not said it before that thank you for reading, reviewing, and supporting this fanfiction. It really is crazy that I wrote two RWBY fanfiction in 4 months since October with my first one, and now I have just the first part of the sequel done this month, January. Well, folks, I think that is all I want to say and I hope that all of you will be looking forward for what comes next after this. Next times in Tales of Ellix Knight 2, Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xia Long will go and find their escaped, now official rogue member of their team, Ellix Knight. What kind of adventure, drama, and life-changing events await for our young huntresses? What is exactly Ellix hiding about? See you all next time...
Suddenly, a portal opened in the fabric of space and time, somewhere deep in the Emerald Forest. A mysterious lad on a motorcycle drove through the portal before it closed-in, disappeared like a shooting star in the night sky. He put on the break to look around his surroundings.
"I wonder what world or dimension I end up in this time." The young lad said. He took off his helmet, revealing his face to be a descent of Japanese with mostly curved brown hair and his eyes were dark color. He wore black coat with red shirt underneath it with the number 10 on it, printed in white color. His pant was also black and his shoes were the same color, too.
"Well, whatever this place is, objective is objective..." He mumbled. Suddenly, he felt presence as he took notice. Gleaming red eyes surrounded him. Beowolves appeared out of the bushes, growling and snarling at the intruder.
"I take it that these creatures are the monsters that exist in this world." He said as he revealed a white belt with some kind of device attached in the center. He took out a card from his Deck holder.
"Henshin!"
He inserted the card into the device on his belt as strange holographic emblem made up of binary code appeared in front of the belt as it started speaking in computerized, male voice.
"Kamen Ride...Ddddd...Decade!"
