Chapter 11 : The Royal Guardians

It was early afternoon and Ken was currently working on his A.I. he had been wanting a personal A.I. since he became a captain, having one would be really useful for task he wants done and when in missions it would most definitely be beneficial. Rosa was at the cafeteria with team RWBY and JNPR right now, he decided to stay and work on his A.I. Of course she would bring breakfast for him but he felt it wasn't necessary, still she she offered to do so and he eventually gave in and accept her kind offer.

He held the device observing it attentively, making sure there were no defects before he were to activate it. "Okay, here goes nothing", the device was a small chip he had been working on for quite sometime. He made the chip to be universal so it would fit in all communication device, with one deep breath he inserted the chip on his scroll and activated the program as it began to load.

He watched as the loading screen go from thirty percent to fifty as he patiently waited for it to finish, the screen merely had a loading bar with the name of the program on top of the page reading 'Loading Artificial Intelligent'. Just as the loading bar was at one hundred percent, Ken heard the program began to speak as it activated. "Scroll model 'MD723E/A', loading Artificial program to device. Codename 'Zina'"

"Looks like it's working fine, now time to set up Zina" he then began to scroll on his tablet as to set his personal preference. Everything appeared on the green light as he now pressed the button to awaken his personal A.I.

A 3-D female model A.I now stood at the top on his screen as soon as he activated the system, the female A.I. appeared completely blue, with long hair and was only able to cover herself with pixelated shirt and shorts. Not that Ken model her to be like that for his own guilty pleasure but it was because it was the only model he knew to make her. Putting clothes on an A.I. would require to learn complicated coding and Ken knew only the easy codes for his artificial intelligent. Some had human models while some had faunus types, there were even some had human size A.I. but most had models like Ken's, a miniature model that stood on his screen and can revert back inside his scroll into 2-D mode, the blue mini looked at the young soldier and gave him a friendly wave with the biggest smile on her face. "Hello, my name is Zina. A.I. model 9351151514, how may I be of use master"

"Hello Zina, my name is Ken Markes"

"I have already scanned your scroll and identity, my eyes have scanners and can scan any life form's face for their identification"

"Ummm I know, i made you like that"

"You are Ken Markes, captain of squad thirteen of the mistral military special forces organization 'Royal Guardians'. You current occupation however is huntsmen in training in Beacon academy, you're the adopted son of the high ranked soldier and chief of the Royal Guardians. Colonel David Markes, you are a hybrid of human and gri-"

"Okay that's enough Zina, let's see if all system is check"

"Affirmative master"

It didn't took Ken long to double check if everything was okay, just the simple data check, system synchronize, security check, etc. "Okay every seems to be running fine, alright Zina. Let's try a few test runs" Ken placed the scroll by his lap as Zina nodded determinely. "Yes master"

"Okay, call Rosa for me"

"Calling Miss DeLaise"

Beeping noise of his scroll began to echo throughout the room, seconds later Rosa's voice was heard through the tablet. "Hello, Ken? What's up?" From the sound of her voice, it was obvious she still had food stuffed on her mouth. "Hey, yeah it's me. I just wanted to check some things, don't mind me"

"Oh okay, did you finish with what you were working on?" Said Rosa as she continued to stuff more food on her mouth. "Yeah I'll make sure to introduce to you to her later"

"Wait, it's a her-" Ken immediately ended to call as she was about to question him, Zina appeared back on the top of his tablet "Master? Why not show me to her during the call, I would have shown myself through her scroll"

It was one way to do it but Ken wanted the two to meet properly, "Yeah but it's better in person"

"Copy that master"

Just as he was about to stand, he froze where he sat as he heard a loud roar coming from the landing port of the academy, "What was that?"

Immediately Zina went to work as she began to use her skill as a personal A.I. And hacked into the school's security cameras to check where exactly the sound was coming from, she successfully hacks in and turn the nearby cameras to look for the source, "Master, it appears a large grimm has infiltrated Beacon defenses"

Ken looked at the screen and saw exactly what Zina told him, the grimm was large but familiar to him. "How did a grimm breach the academy so easily?"

"In my analyses, it appears the grimm is a-"

"Sentinel" Ken knew very well what this grimm was, it was the type of grimm he mostly encounters during his missions. This grimm was dangerous, no normal huntsmen could take it down alone, about three or more could take down at least one, if anyone were to encage this grimm then they would most likely end up eaten or killed. Either way he just needed to get there as soon as possible, "I've got to get there fast"

Ken dashed out of his room already in his combat outfit, he didn't want to waste anymore time so he used his semblance to quickly dash through the crowd. "I hope I'm not too late"


Yang Xiao Long was currently working on her dear sister's homework, honestly she didn't really care. The accident with Ruby drowning had made her realize how fragile her sister and leader can be. She always thought of her as a cute talented little girl but even a girl like her has their limits to the outside world, Weiss was doing her own homework as well while Blake sat on her own bed enjoying her free time reading as usual. Ruby sat on a chair eating a hand full of cookies, despite being cute she still left a mess on the floor with every bite she took on each cookies. "Ruby please don't leave the room in such a mess, clean this up" Weiss said pointing with her pencil towards the little red.

"Soowy Weeis (Sorry Weiss)" she said with her mouth still full of cookies, "Ruby please don't talk with your mouth full" said Blake still on eyes on her book.

"I can't believe this is so much, why of all the weeks does this week had to be the week when we had to buried in homework" Yang complaint, she never did like homework, Yang only did homework when the days are closing in. It was one of her flaws which she was proud of, but now laying on her bed with stacks of homework around her, but still she didn't regret it.

"As much as this is boring, I'd really kill for some action right now" Yang continued to complain as she let her head fall on the paper beneath her. "Yang stop complaining, this is due to tommorow and it was your idea in the first place anyway" said Weiss.

"Well it's not like I-" Yang was cut from her sentence when a sudden roar was heard from the halls, it sounded more like a shriek then roar but almost demonic and dark. "What was that?!" Blake yelled.

Weiss raised herself from her bed and began putting her combat skirt on to observe the source of the sound "I don't know but it seems it came from outside"

"Finally some action!" Yelled Yang as she as well began changing into her outfit, sooner or later the entire team of RWBY had changed into their clothes. "Team RWBY! Onwards to danger" yelled Ruby while raising her finger pointing at the distance.


As Ken had swiftly maneuvered through the crowd, he finally made it to the front of the academy and was now heading towards the landing port. As he was finally outside he took notice of the students running for dear life while others ran towards his direction, even some nearby stood their ground to defend the academy. Ken yelled out to them as he tried his very best to evacuate the others "Get out of here! It's not safe! Get as far as you can from this place"

"No way, we're huntsmen. We fight or die!"

"Yeah fight or die!"

"Don't retreat!"

"Attack!"

"Defend the academy!"

"Fools they don't know what their up against" Ken thought as he watched the other student rushed towards the beast, he used his speed to catch the other students rushing towards their death and was thankfully able to stop the majority of them. The others were badly injured and laid limp on the floor, some were still conscious but was unable to move from fear of being killed or heavily wounded. "Just grab the others, I'll buy you all some time to retreat" Ken instructed the students, he then equipped Bon Fortuna on his hands and rushed towards the grimm.

"Your crazy!"

"We can't let him fight on his own"

"Let's just do what he says for now"

The other students began helping the others limping on the floor, there weren't many but minutes later they began retreating back to the inside of the building with most carrying students with them. The grimm before them was fifteen meters large, it appeared to have the body of a human but many changes was obvious to it's features. It had complete white skin with large claws on his hands and feet, bone spikes were sticking out from it's back, it had two large tails with half of it being completely red. What made it more terrifying was the grimm's mask it had on its face like any other grimm had, it's fangs were sticking out from it's mouth and lastly large horns made a pattern look as if it was demonic. Of course the last thing about the grimm was it may resemble the human body just a tad bit but it only stood on its hands and feet like most grimms and animals, it not only did it had two arms like a human body but rather four. The extra pair of arms was located on the shoulder above the arms of the grimm, and the extra pair didn't have white paled skin but rather it was completely black. It was definitely bigger then a goliath, way bigger in fact and more dangerous.

It takes a very high skilled huntsmen or huntress to take these kind of grimm down, and Ken was no different. But he couldn't underestimate these monsters, some cases shown that these grimm had intelligence but most didn't, he may be strong but he still needed a plan to take it down. He shouldn't just attack carelessly, just as he was about to attack he noticed one student still laying on the floor near the grimm, the sentinel took notice of this quickly and reached for the unconscious student ready to devour her. "Damn it I got to stop it"

Ken uses his semblance to get closer to the student and grabbed her close, meanwhile team RWBY had just arrive at the scene and made it just in time to witness what was happening along side JNPR by their side. "What's happening?!" Ruby questioned.

"A grimm had infiltrated beacon defenses and now Ken is out there alone fighting it" Pyrrha informed, JNPR had been there the whole time to see the situation beginning to get out of hand. "He's out there?! Why didn't you go with him!" Yang yelled while holding Jaune by the collar of his shirt lifting him up.

Jaune being the guy he is was struggling from her hold and easily gave her the answers she was looking for, "He told us to stay back, he said to everyone to not encage this grimm"

"Is he crazy? Is he trying to get himself killed?!" Weiss said raising her voice while looking at the distance for her friend. "Has he lost his mind?! That's stupid" Blake said.

"No...it's smart"

"Huh?" Said team RWBY in unison, they looked at the person behind them to see none other then Rosa walking towards them and towards the window over looking the landing port where Ken was. "What are you taking about, Ken is out there and he needs help" said Weiss urgently.

"You guys have no idea what you're up against, that grimm out there is a sentinel" Rosa said pointing at the monster in the distance.

Ruby and Jaune scratches the top of their head with a single finger with a puzzled look, "Sentinel?"

Rosa signed as she looked at her leader out where the grimm was, "A sentinel is a high class grimm that absolutely can not be taken down alone or with trainee huntsmen or huntress, students like us can't take down a grimm like that"

"What makes Ken any different?" Ren asks as Rosa continues, "Ken has experience taking down these types alone, I've seen him in the past take those babies out no problem. All though that doesn't mean it makes him unbeatable, if there are a group of sentinels then Ken might not be able to handle it by himself"

"That still doesn't mean we just stand here and do nothing" said Ruby raising her voice, it didn't matter to her if Ken had experience. What she sees is a friend in need for help and she is willing to give it, she didn't want to risk to lose a friend, especially one that saved her not to long ago. "We need to help in anyway we can, I think it's best to move in two pairs on each side to catch it off guard and maybe we'll-"

Rosa interrupts Ruby's plans and tells her one last information they all needed to know, "Ruby, what makes sentinels high class and dangerous is because they devour humans and faunus. Unlike most grimms attack humans and faunus because they choose to, sentinels need to. They devour other grimms too but in most cases it's human and faunus they eat, which might be the case why it's here.

The two teams were left in silence as they can do nothing more but pray for dear monty Ken Markes would survive this disaster, Rosa herself didn't like the idea but it was the only way for them to make sure everyone was safe. It was best to leave it to Ken, they only hoped he knew what he was doing.

Ken grabbed hold of the unconscious female student by his arms and quickly uses his speed to dash out of the sentinel's attack, but somehow he was too slow to react and he was left to see the hand coming down on him with great force. He was too slow for it to dodge so he enters the first stage of his grimm to block his attack, his eyes quickly changes to black and red and raises his arm to summon the bones from his arm to create a barrier between them to block its attack.

Team RWBY, JNPR and Rosa saw this happening and screamed to Ken to retreat trying desperately to help him. "Ken get out of their!" Ruby screamed.

"We gotta stop it!"

"Ken!"

The others began to move towards the grimm not caring whether they get devoured or killed, all rushed only to save their friend. Ken could only do was defend himself using the stage one of his grimm, but even that was too slow to summon. "Crap, I can't create a shield. It won't make it in time"

"Ken nooo!"

Ken closes his eyes and clenches the student he saved by his arms and waited for the sentinel to crush them flat with it's hand, he knew very well this was going to happen. He rushed in knowing very well the risk of losing his own life was high, but he did it anyway to save a person he didn't know in person. His body just moved on his own, guess this was payback for the humans and faunus he eaten in the past.

He continued to close his eyes but was finding odd that the grimm's attack took long, it was almost as if it stopped. He opened his eyes to see what was going on and found a figure standing before him with a large sword by his head and stopped the sentinel's hand with his weapon with one arm, the man wore a tight sleeveless grey shirt with black pants with a belt with pouches, the belt had a crown symbol on its center. He wore dark brown gloves and wore boots, the man appeared very built and large, his hair was as long reaching his ears and had scars throughout his body, not only that but he looked like he had the same cloak as Ken with the Royal Guardians symbol on his back. Team RWBY and JNPR stopped their tracks as they saw the new stranger stopping the grimm's attack just in time to save their friend, they signed in relief but still kept their focus of the grimm. They weren't too far from him now, they were just about in ear shot to hear what the man said to Ken. "Really how could you get yourself in a such situation like this, are you really my son?"

"Fa-father"

The man appeared before him was David Markes, father of Ken and mentor. He held the sentinel's hand by his sword using only a single arm, with his built muscles he appeared to have no struggle holding the grimm like that. "Father? Is that Ken's dad?" Blake asked.

David now slashes the sentinel's arm off of his large sword and away from himself, he then turns to face the grimm and informs Ken. "Go and make sure everyone is safe, do not encage until further orders, understood?"

"R-roger"

Ken then began running back with the student by his arms and informed the others to retreat, "Hurry get out of here, my father has this under control"

"Are you sure, you were almost crush back there" said Yang.

"Yes don't worry about him, he'll be fine for sure" while Ken was running he let his thoughts roam free, he was deep in thought about the earlier situation. The risk of him dying back their were not to high but the girl he held was very much higher, "I almost got this girl killed back there, I've got to keep my focus or els I'll end up letting..."

He didn't want to finish that thought so he ignored it and went back to running towards the buildings, David now facing the grimm before him now stood in his stance while he waited for the beast to attack. Despite being a large man, his sword appeared very enormous and appeared impossible to hold, it was approximately five to six feet long, with a single-edged large blade approximately one foot wide. David must had to posses such great strength to hold such a weapon.

Suddenly beowolves and ursas began to creep behind the sentinel and went rushing towards the other students at the building, David ran back towards ahead of the grimms and block their path standing in front of them. "Going somewhere?" His voice was deep and mature, it was to be expected from an adult.


(Insert, Bleach Ost : Number One, Here)


The beowolves and ursas spread around the warrior while he planted his sword on the ground, he then held his arms up and stood on his combat stance. Just then a grimm came running towards him to claw at his chest, David wasn't as fast as Ken but he was much more stronger. He catches the beowolves arm and lands and heavy right hook on its face making him lose its head and die instantly on the spot. More beowolves came towards him but he easily dodges each one trying to claw him and punches another right though its chest and throws the grimm off, he then grabs the other two beowolves and bumps them at each other on the head and throws them away as well. This time two ursas came running at him but David was faster and punches the grimm on it's stomach, ribs and head to finish the creature off. He then turns to the next and grabs the ursa's head and plants it hard on the solid ground and crushing it's head, David now calmly walks towards his sword and raises it from the ground and places it on his shoulder.

About a few more grimms were left and he wanted to end this quickly, "Oh there's more? Well then I'll just finish you guys off"

All of the remaining grimm rushed him one together and prepared their claws to slash him into bits, David smirks and quickly slashes his sword on the side and kills the majority of the creatures of the dark. He then swings again and kills about three remaining ursas, he then looks at his front and sees one last beowolf standing. He holds his sword by the top of his head while it spins around his hands and uses the momentum of the circling speed and slashes the grimm in half, knowing very well no more grimm was present except the sentinel, he places his sword by the ground and makes a small crater and a loud toud noise from impact. The sentinel looks at David with eyes like predator and yells out a shriek like demonic roar, David merely raises a brow and walks towards the creature. "Oh right, I forgot about you. Let's end this"

The blade of David's sword now suddenly opens and began to charge blue lightning around the weapon, it look like it work almost the same as Ken's but only it was blue and not yellow. David then uses his speed and ran towards grimm and appeared right in front of sentinel, his charged weapon now ready to kill began to shine brightly while David yelled out. "Aura Slash!"

The swing was powerful and devastating, slash on the grimm left a bright blue trail where David swung and easily kills the large grimm. It was so powerful the trail actually cut the sentinel in half and it fell to the ground lifeless in two while David walked away back towards his son. He then looks beneath his feet to find a limping beowolf trying desperately to escape the area, but he stops the creature and plants his foot firmly on its head and crashes it like a melon.


(End Epic Music)


The group watches as David calmly walks back with his enormous sword on his shoulder, team RWBY, JNPR and Rosa were astonished when they watched him fight against those monsters. He was powerful and strong, he may be a bit slower but he makes this up with his strength. "How does he hold that sword like that?" Jaune asked.

"My father's semblance is strength, he can take more punishment then anyone can handle without breaking a sweat. He can even make his skin hard as steel" Ken explained, his father was one of those people he can never beat. Even with Bon Fortuna's sharp blades can never pierce his skin, "Is that the reason he can hold that gigantic sword?" Pyrrha asked while they watch David walking closer.

"Yes and no, right now he isn't using his semblance. His strength alone can lift his weapon and wield it, he only uses his semblance to swing faster and use his weapon easier. His weapon's name is 'Annihilation'" said Ken.

"Incredible" Ren whispers to himself.

"Seems the battle is over" Weiss said as she began to walk back to their dorms, "Wait no it's not" Ken suddenly informs everyone.

Somehow the battle wasn't over, another sentinel suddenly appeared behind the dead grimm's evaporating body and let out a roar making it's presents know. It appeared a bit smaller then the fifteen meter class but it still prove to be deadly, Ken screamed out to his father as it began to dashed towards his direction. "Father look out!"

David turns behind as the sentinel came closer to his path, all though danger was coming his way, he didn't move one inch but looked as if he was waiting for something.

Suddenly two soldiers appeared from the sky and slashed the sentinel's arm, they wore dark green cloaks with the Royal Guardians symbol like Ken. Then more of these soldiers appeared behind the grimm and slashes the beast on its back making it roar loudly in pain, the grimm stops it's tracks and then more of these soldiers with Royal Guardians cloak appeared from the grimm's side and began shooting the grimm with tazer bullets to stun the monster. The sentinel couldn't do anything but stay still and receive shocks from their rain of fire, Ken watches these soldiers stun the beast until five more soldiers appear in front of him. All with the same cloak, "Captain, long time no see"

"It's been a long time sir"

"You missed us captain?"

Ken faces the five mysteries soldier speaking to him while team RWBY, JNPR and Rosa stood still observing the situation. "Hmmmm you guys are bold as always" said Ken grinning with arms folded.

He then straighten his back and kept his arms crossed, "Guardians! Line up!"

Immediately the five soldiers stood in line, three on the left and two on the right. They stood in silence while Ken walked between the two groups, "Let's give them hell, formation B! Understood?!" Ken yelled.

"Yes sir!" They said in unison, Ken raised his voice once more as he equipped Bon Fortuna. "Guardians! Encage!


(Insert, Kill La Kill Ost : Before My Is Body Dry, here)


The five soldiers along side Ken began to rush towards the sentinel while the other guardian soldiers ceasefire and back away for the six guardians to move in. The first two guardians summoned their weapons which the first wielded a sword similar to Jaune's only the blade was longer, the second wielded twin Sai-s. Both tried to go around the sentinel but was about to get cut off by the hand of the grim, thankfully the third and fourth guardians stepped in and slashes the sentinel's hand and backs it away from the soldiers. The third guardian wielded a katana while the fourth wielded gauntlets with claws (similar to wolverine claws), both third and fourth guardians jumped towards the stomach of the sentinel and land a clean deep cut on the grimm's gut.

The fifth guardian and Ken then climbs up towards the sentinel's arm and lands a slash on its neck, the fifth guardian wielded a long handled dane axe. Meanwhile the first and the second guardian climbs up from the back of the sentinel and slashes their weapons close between the shoulder and neck area, they then jump off from the grimm while the third and fourth guardians strikes the hands and feet of the beast.

The grimm let's out a shriek once more while it tries counter by waving it's arms around to try and catch the soldiers, Ken was able to wrap his steel wires on the sentinel's neck from his earlier attack, so he then pulls the wires hard and bring the beast's head down closer to solid ground. The other guardians quickly encages by slashing the grimm's face multiple times before backing away, Ken quickly uses his speed and maneuvers around the sentinel to trap it with his steel wires and secure it in place. He covers the sentinel almost completely with wires, using knives to keep it in place on the floor the grimm struggles through the treads. Some began to loosen but most stayed strong, its hands and feet were bound and its chest were stacked with wires. Ken had definitely ran out of wires, he checks his arm guards to see if any wires were left but to his expectation, there was nothing left. He then walks to his fellow guardians and orders "This won't hold him long, we'll end this by executing formation D. Keep focus and make sure your partner stay by your side, am I understood?"

"Yes sir!" The they said in unison once more, the third guardian then steps in and speaks "Sir, the sentinel is beginning to break free"

"Then let's move, Guardians! Encage! Execute formation D! Go!"

"YES CAPTAIN!"

All six guardians began running towards the sentinel full speed while the grimm slightly breaks free now able to move its extra pair of arms and head. The grimm launches several large bones from it's body and hurls towards the group of soldiers, they easily dodges each one and begins to execute the formation. The first and second guardians jumps towards the sentinel's neck and slashes it's side, while the third and fourth guardians jumps towards the same direction and lands the same attack. While the fifth guardian and Ken jumps towards the pair of arms and jumps forwards hurling them selves towards the bottom of the neck, Ken begins to spin using his signature techniques while the fifth readies his dane axe and slashes the bottom of the sentinel's neck. As they finish their attack, the four guardians executes the final phase of the formation and slashes the side of the grimm's neck together making the head of the sentinel fall off.

All six guardians stand together while the sentinel falls to the ground, Ken activates the flammable steel wires and ignites the grimm in flames. They began to walk back while the lifeless grimm begins to evaporate with the flames still burning in the background, "Formation D is 'Decapitation'" Ken mumbles.


(End Epic Music)


Team RWBY, JNPR, Rosa and the other students of beacon watched in with amazement while David stood by the sidelines with his large sword still resting on his shoulders.

As the group neared the other students, Ken turns to the five guardians and crosses his arms. "I'm impressed, you guys haven't lost your touch"

The fourth guardian steps in and chuckles, "whatcha expect from us, the guardians never slack off"

"You guys better not or els it's back to 'Ken's boot camp' for you all"

The guardians frown while Ken merely smiles at his squad with gladness, meanwhile Ruby and the others run towards him. Ruby tackles Ken with a hug from behind, thankfully he keeps his balance and prevents them both from falling. "You were amazing back there! Who are these guys?" Ruby says still clinging on the young soldier.

"Ruby hey, this is my squad of the Royal Guardians" Ken presents them, the five guardians stood firmly while ten normal guardian soldiers disarms their rifles and stood close to the five. "The first guardian over there is Wade Broekman"

Wade Broekman wore a dark blue skintight heavy armored suit, he was mostly covered in armor ranging from, his arms, legs chest, crouch, back and stomach area with white bulletproof plates with it's design being not just a normal plate but also works as a holsters, except his back plated armor. His weapon hanged on his belt, being a katana on its sheath, it transforms into a flame thrower and can stream flames on the blade of the katana itself to cut and burn the victim's wound. His weapon's name was the 'Blazing Eclipse', he as well wore the traditional royal guardian cloak around his outfit. He also wasn't human but a faunus kind, his wolf ears being very much exposed on his hair visibly.

"The second guardian over there next to Wade is Misty Wellheim" Misty was oh so similar to Yang, with her attitude and fighting style being almost the same. The only differences were that she had grey hair and her gauntlets had claws which made her fighting style a bit altered from Yang's, she wore a short sleeveless black and white shirt that reveals her stomach with the top of her bosoms being slightly exposed. She had bruin shorts similar to Yang's but her shirt and short connected each other with a sling, the sling crosses each other to her exposed flat stomach which forms an X. Lastly she wears white greaves going downwards to her black boots, her weapon was gauntlets just like Yang's only they were grey and had claws and they wore more armored and shot repulsors blast instead of bullets. Its name was 'Ministes Fangs' she also wears the royal guardian cloak.

"The third over there is Sakura Hana" despite her name, she had short red hair with cat ears as she is a cat faunus. She wore a completely black skin tight suit just like Wade only she didn't have armor, she wore black heels matching her outfit and wore a belt with her weapon attached to it, they were twin Sai-s which transforms into dual pistols. It's name was 'Sinis Blossom', just like her teammates she also has the same cloak.

"Fourth is Martin Russel" Martin was the brains of the group, he thens to avoid battle but when ordered or pushed too far, he can be very destructive when fighting. He wore a white shirt and black pants with light armor similar to Jaune's only the plates wore grey, he wore brown boots and had short blonde hair and glasses like any other nerdy individual. His weapon was sheath behind his back attached to his sling around his torso, it was a sword which folds into a crossbow. He equipped foldable arrows with variants of types, but his most use was normal arrows and explosive bolts. It's name was 'Hestesfolgen', his guardian cloak hid his face trying his best not to attract too much attention, he never liked the crowd.

"Last but not least is Lars Huffman" Lars was the loner of the group, he didn't greet nor made eye contact with the little red or Ken's classmates. He had jet black long spiky hair and was the tallest of the group as well. Most being 5,6 or 7 but he was 6,2. He wore long sleeved brown shirt with black shorts and plated shin guards. He wore black combat boots and fingerless gloves and had a scar running down his left eye downwards reaching his cheek, his weapon was folded behind him which was a long handled dane axe. It transforms into a rifle and can also make it's handle shorter for throwing action, it's name was 'Thunderdrum'. Yes yes of course he was the cloak around him too, for goodness sake yes everyone in the royal guardians has the cloak.

All of them being seventeen like him, they were all train very young as Ken in the military, all of them hand picked by David to create squad thirteen of the Royal Guardians Organization. Team RWBY and JNPR greets all of them with smiles and waves while they return the gesture except Martin, that was Ken's whole squad. Five young warriors and ten soldiers, not much but they definitely get the job done. David now stood by Ken's side as they see Professor Ozpin and Goodwitch emerge from the crowd and stood before them. "David Markes, Colonel of the Royal Patriots and Chief of the Royal Guardians Organization. It's an honor to meet you" Greeted Ozpin while offering a hand to David.

"Likewise, it's an honor to finally meet the headmaster of Beacon academy" said David as he shook Ozpin's hand.

"Royal Patriots?" Ken asks. "I'll explain later" whispered David to his son's ear and looked back at the two professors.

Goodwitch was lost in words, before her was a young and handsome man that appeared in his late 20s. He was very buff and muscular, he was tall and big, his hair was not as amazing as Ken but they were still long and slightly spiky. She couldn't help but feel the blood rushing to her cheeks, making her form a light blush as she continued to observe the strong barbarian. "And you must be the infamous Glynda Goodwitch"

She heard a voice call to her as she was lost in her thoughts a moment ago and came back to reality while trying her best to keep her composure. "Ummm-ahh, y-yes I'm Glynda Goodwitch. It's nice to meet you Ken Mar- I mean David Markes"

"Weird? Glynda never stutters like that" Ken thought looking at his professor, "Sorry for the mess we made, it was kinda to be expected when that sentinel showed up" David says.

Ozpin holds up his hand and replies, "Oh it's noting to be worried about, please feel free to follow me. You all must be very tired from your long trip" Ozpin offers to them.

"Sure of course, why not" David answers while Ken walks back towards his friends as they begin to follow Ozpin to his office, Ken was about to reach his teammates until he felt a certain hand pull him back to his squad and was carried by David on his back with one hand. "Why do I need to come?" He asks

"Because we got important matters to discuss" David answers.

"Didn't you forget I'm a student"

"Didn't you forget you're a Captain, I know you hate meetings Ken but you need to know this"

"This better be important"

Meanwhile three pair of student from haven academy observed the soldiers from a distance, the girl with amber eyes had a grin on her face as she watches Ken with amusement. "Sooner or later, you'll be mine" she mumbles.


Later at Ozpin's office, the guardians sat on chairs while the other guardian soldiers stood back outside guarding their airship they arrived with. Ken stood at the center with David sitting across him with a mug on his hand. "Mistral Military renamed the army into the 'Royal Patriots?' But why?" Ken asked.

"They are trying to strengthen the power of the military, with Atlas now having the Atlestian Paladin and Knights. We kinda have nothing but the Royal Guardians when going to war with them, so we renamed and retrained our soldiers and so Royal Patriots was born" David explains while sipping on his mug.

"This is nonsense, it's like they want to go on war" Ken argues. "It's only for safety measures Ken, don't get so worked up. Besides there are bigger threats out there then getting hung up with atlas and mistral"

"And that is?" The young soldier asks in his serious tone keeping his eyes on his father.

"They call themselves Hybrids" Lars says keeping his head low.

"Hybrids?"

David took another sip of his mug as he continues, "They are a group of people who have been reported able to control grimms and been doing terrorist acts like the white fang"

"Why call themselves hybrids? Ken asks as he sat back to his chair, "No one knows, we never saw their faces. They left marks of their names on each crime they do, if this threat starts to get out of hand then the white fang won't be our only problem anymore" Martin says.

"Who could they be?" Sakura mutters silently.

It was strange, a group of people who are able to control grimm. Ken had the same abilities too but he was able to communicate with other grimm because of his grimm heritage, he was able to control them because he asked them to do tasks for him. But never actually control them, they still all very much still have free will. This was very strange, he wanted to get this on as soon as possible. "Ohhh yeah Professor Ozpin, I want you to meet my next member of my team" Ken said.

"And who may that be"

He then gestures Wade to come to him which he quickly does and salutes his captain, "Wade, I do believe you got my message recently"

"Yes sir, I've received your message and my answer sir is YES"

"Oh oka-really? I thought you'd need a reason to join but okay"

Ozpin looks at the individual and tells him to come closer, "Come closer child, do you really plan on being a huntsmen? What's your purpose in doing so?" Ozpin questions.

Wade simply kept his soldier like attitude and turned to professor Ozpin, "I have no reason sir, where Ken goes is where I go"

"Not the best answer but...very well I'll let you be a student here in beacon, however you still need to go to initiation like the rest of the student"

"Of course sir"

"The system in Mistral has changed Ken, not only did they renamed the army but they also established a new sector for the public too. The 'Royal Police' is what they called it" David continues.

"What's with the 'Royal' thing? It's not like Mistral has any fancy to prove" Ken argues while he was handed a mug by Goodwitch.

"I don't know but I guess Mistral took a liking on the name when they made the Royal Guardians, so now we're the Royal Army" Misty answers taking another sip of her tea.

"I also want to inform you that after the Vytal Festival, you'll be going along with your squad on a mission on a abandon ghost town near Mountain Glenn" David informs as he took his son's attention back to him.

"What's the intel?" Ken questions eyeing his father, "A group of white fang members apparently ended up there when they tried to escape the police, they stole a bag full of Dust not too long ago and are now hidden amongst the buildings. We send a few patriots to investigate but they haven't respond in days, we do know that they are keeping them occupied but reinforcements are still needed"

"We're there to finish the job then" Ken answers knowing well enough the purpose of the mission, "Yes and no, we recently had reports saying they have hostages but they said you aren't needed. I'm doubting their skills so I want you to go in and investigate"

"Yes father, is there anything els you need?"

"Actually there is also want thing I almost forgot"

"Damn it why did I even ask" Ken mutters hating the stacks of request he has been receiving, "I want you and your squad to guard around the building while the Vytal Tournament takes play"

"You want me and my squad to go as security?"

"Basically yes"

"I sometimes hate this job" Ken mutters once more feeling slightly irritated.

David then finishes his tea and places it on the table near by, "Alright, now that 'that' is set aside. There are still thing we need to discuss, like the Vytal festival itself"

"Wait before we go any further, which ship did you guys use to get here?" Ken asks.

"Oh right, we told Sig to give us a ride" David answers.

"You used the Black Hawk!"


Ken now walked back towards his dorm along side Wade, both now wanting to cling to their bed they soon arrive at the front door and open the door. "Handle is unlocked" Zina says through Ken's scroll.

"Thanks Zina" Ken thanks, "No problem Master"

Ken sees Rosa on her bed now wearing her bed clothes which was given by Ken himself, she watches the two boys enter the room and questions the two. "Why is he here?" She asks being slightly rude.

"Don't be rude to your new teammate Rosa" Ken said as he sat on his bed.

"Wait...new TEAMMATE?!" She screams. "Hello My name is Wade Broekman, it's nice to meet you"

K-R-W-?


Common : Hope you guys enjoyed that cause I sure did, I really hoped you all liked it cause I wanted this chapter to be special which was one of the reasons why it took long to upload.

Ken : Geez took you long enough.

Common : Shhh now Ken, I am speaking to the readers.

Ken : Whatever.

Common : Thanks to you guys, our studio has gotten lots of upgrades and comfortable furnitures, I can't thank you all so much for what you have done. It means so much to me.

Weiss : You better not start crying or something

Common : Shhh Weiss, I am having a moment.

Weiss and Common : (Looks at Each Other And Rolls Their Eyes)

Common : By the way, next week's author's section will be different and special. I plan to answer all your curios questions meaning I'll be doing a Q&A next week, feel free to leave some questions for me to answer and I'll answer them next week.

Blake : Ohh Joy.

Common : Geez you guys are no fun today, anyway we'll be starting our favorite segment. SPECIAL GUEST!


Special Guest

Common : Alright everyone, today's special guest is a reader of mine who had been reviewing my chapters with great kindness.

Ken : Okay please come out 'TheMAO17' !

MAO : LEEEEROOOOOOOOOYYYYYY JEEEENNKKIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNSSS! (crashes through window) Ow! Ow! Ow! Oh God! Oh God! The pain! THE PAIN! PAIN EVERYWHERE! Why?! WHY?! WHY DID I DO THAT?! SON OF A- [several minutes of excruciating pain and vulgar swearing later] (Dusts himself off) Sorry about that...(Looks at the broken window)...I'm not paying for that. (Sits down) Anyway, here I am.

Common : Alright MAO, if you wouldn't mind. Here in special guest we like to ask lots of question.

MAO : No problem. Fire away. I'll answer the best I can.

Ken : Alright here's the first question, what do you think of the story so far ?

MAO : It's all right, I guess. Not much else I can say on the matter.

Jaune : Ohhhhh and why is that ?

MAO : I'm not really one for detail...other than sometimes in writing. I sometimes like to give short, simple answers. (Looks sheepish) I'm not that social.

Ruby : Okay next question, what do you think of the story's main protagonist 'Ken Markes' ?

MAO : He's alright, I guess. Nothing bad to say about him. Just one thing when it comes to his secret room. (looks at Ken) Ken...you are not Batman...you will never be Batman.

Ken : (Stares)

MAO : (Stares back) Problem?

Ken : Oh don't mind me, I'm just minding my own business.

Blake : Okay? Next, from the scale of one to ten, how much do you love the RWBY series?

MAO : 10, a solid ten. In fact, I dare someone to say less than 10 when asked this.

Pyrrha : Well that's surprising.

Yang : Oh oh I'm next!, who is your favorite character of RWBY ?

MAO : Ruby, hands down...by the way, Yang. I've been meaning to apologize for the whole "not letting you have any cookies. I guess I was being kind of a j***. So (brings out a small box of cookies) friends? Oh and don't worry Ruby (pulls out an even bigger box of cookies), these are yours. (Notices Yang glaring at him) She's my favorite character. Your argument is invalid.

Ken : Hmmmmm interesting.

Common : Okay next, if you wanted to put this story in a different route, what would that route be?

MAO : Well, for one thing, I wouldn't have made it a harem. Not really a fan of those...well, not the ones where either the guy gets all the girls or it's left ambiguous. I TOLERATE the ones where a decision is made. The story would've had a main pairing...as for who, I don't really know. I would've either decided before the story was made, or I leave it up to the fans.

Common : Very interesting, Okay last question. Which character do you think should end up with Ken?

MAO : As I've said in a review, I'd have to go with Weiss.

Common : Aha yes, all though I am curios. Explain why Ken should end up with this character?

MAO : Well...think of it like this. Weiss is pretty much like a princess in some ways. As for Ken, he is bodyguard material, especially if you take the literal meaning of Royal Guardian. There have been plenty of cases where the guard and guardee have fallen for each other. That's just an example, anyway. As for the reasoning...it's more appealing, I guess. I mean, the Soldier and the Princess...or Heiress, since Rosa is apparently the Princess in all this. Anyway, to me, Ken/Weiss has more appeal. Plus, Chapter 10 kinda sealed my decision on the matter. It was just too cute! After all, a (somewhat) tsundere Weiss and a stoic guy like Ken...it could work. And again, it feels more right to me for some reason.

Ken : Hmmmm alright, you gave me something to think about.

Common : Alright Alright, do you have anything els you want to say to the readers?

MAO :(Looks at readers) Two things: 1) If you read this story but haven't followed or faved, you really should. It's awesome! 2) I happen to write RWBY fanfiction as well. If you're interested, check out my profile for the stories I'm currently writing.

Ken : Alright! Thank you for coming here 'TheMAO17'

MAO : You're welcome. Thanks for having me. I had a really good time!

Common : Alright if you mind, would you like to assist us on doing the outro. It's easy, you do about the reviews for today's chapter and we'll do the rest

MAO : Uh...okay. (clears throat) Common would appreciate it if you left a review. He is accepting of all opinions.

Ken : If you like this chapter then feel free to click that follow or favorite button, or if you like it that much then why not both.

Ruby : If you have questions for Common for the Q&A the go and feel free to message him and he'll answer them next week.

Rosa : If you have any idea for an Oc then go ahead and fill the registration below, don't forget we are not only looking male Ocs but female Ocs as well. So if you have an idea for a character then go ahead and fill the registration, you'll never know your character might end up on this story.

Common : Lastly don't forget to tell me who you think should end up with Ken and why, I'd love to read all of your responds.

Ken : Until then.

Unison : See ya laters!

Common : (Whispers to MAO) pssstttt dude, do you know anyone here that writes good lemon scenes, I know how to write them but I'm really bad at it. I tried a year ago on my previous story but in my opinion I failed so hard, so do you know anyone who can write those scenes for me?

MAO : (Whispers back to Common) Well...I know of writers who wrote lemon scenes, though I'm not sure about the whole "writing the scenes for you", since they have their own stories to deal with. Then again, it doesn't hurt to ask and-, wait why are we talking about this?!

Ken : Hey what are you guys talking about?!

Yang : Why you guys whispering ?

Ruby : I wanna know!

Common And MAO : S***!

Authors Note : By the way guys, have you notice just how convenient that when I posted this chapter it was on june 13 and Ken's squad is number 13. :)
