RWBY: INFINITY CORE

Chapter Six: Message

1 hour late after getting checked out by Dr. Lee and is meeting up with his team for an unknown reason.

I made my way to where I was suppose to meet the rest of the team, after a good walk to make it there, I looked around an didn't see them. That was until I certain speed demon was running and calling out my name.

"LUUUUCCCCIIOOOOO", with a loud thud she runs into me and knocks me several feet onto the ground, as I look up I am holding Ruby as she looks up at me.

"HI", she says with a huge smile looking at me.

"HI…HI is all you have to say after nearly giving me a heart attack and not to mention the small crater that is now in the middle of downtown Vale," I say looking at my team leader both amazed and surprised as she was able to knock me down with speed alone.

"Yup pretty much," she says as she gets up and give me a hand up. After I am up on my feet I can see Yang and the rest of team RWBY walking up, all them giggling as they see me and Ruby.

"Well it looks like Ruby found you, and I guess you can say she knocked the air out of you," she says with a smirk on her face at her witty comment, as Blake rolls her eyes and make her way to the front.

"Okay now that we are all together do you think we can do what we came to do," Blake says as she crosses her arms.

"What exactly are we doing," I say looking at my team.

"DO YOU REALLY NOT KNOW," Weiss says getting really chose and pointing her finger in my face. I guess from my face she could tell I have no clue what is happening. She lets out a sigh while grabbing her base of her nose and speaks again.

"Tomorrow is the Beacon Vytal ceremonial dance , you know food; drinks; and dancing, we are all on a mission to look for outfits, for tomorrow." she said still waving her finger in my face.

"I never knew about that, and now that I think about it I don't think I have anything to wear myself, but if I don't go I won't have to worry about it," I say getting some looks from everyone as they look shocked.

"Aww what do you mean you aren't going," I hear Ruby say as she pouts.

"Yeah what do you mean, it will be fun and its going to be the last fun thing we will get to do this term, cause right after this we are going to have to start advance training for the next up coming huntsmen patrol," Yang says as she looks at me tilting her head waiting for me to respond.

"I agree with Yang, this is going to be fun as long as we are there as team, if our whole team isn't there, then its going to be weird and misplaced," Blake says standing next to Yang and crossing her arms looking at me.

Before I knew it I was being looked at, and then they soon all stared to give a pouty face and inching closer.

"OKAY OKAY OKAY I will go but, if I do I will need help finding a suit, I have never needed one before so I don't own one." I say to the now pleased crowed.

"No worries I will help you out," Yang says as she puts her hand on my shoulder and winks, "I will to," Blake's says as she stands next to Yang.

"Okay so now that; this is settled, let team RWBY's first new mission as a team begin," Ruby says as she grabs Weiss arm and mine and then leads the way leaving Yang and Blake towards the back as they follow closely behind.

As we walk we see store after store and go inside in each and everyone one of them looking for clothes that we want. Me and Ruby seem to just sit there and the rest of the team goes and looks for things we can wear, all from Weiss getting clothes for ruby, most of them looked… very stiff. I guess Ruby thought the same thing as the corset that she wearing with one of the outfits, seemed smaller then what she is usually wearing. Looking at me and mouthing for me to help her, unfortunately I couldn't since right when I got up Yang and Blake grabbed my arm and yanked me to the left, and let me to the back side of the store, I am guessing where the mens section was.

"Okay now lets see, what kind of look are we going to go for," the over excited blonde said as she flew by the isles looking at any and everything there was. I have to admit there are just to many to look at, but I to made the attempt to look at what was around. I have to admit there was some very nice lines of clothes, what I really liked where the color embroidered on the outline of the suits stitching. I continued to wonder around and look at the suits, when one particular one looked familiar to me, I walked over to it and looked it.

There was nothing really that different about it, when compared to the others, except for on the sleeve there was a symbol etched on the side…. It was a crest of some type, I reached for it and in an instant I saw another series of vision but this time it was stable and I actually could see clearly what was happening.

"Finally, I knew it, I knew he was the one, I want him to be transported to Babylon right away. If anything gets in the way have the soldiers take care of it. He must now be prepped for operation BLACK LIFE," the man said as he looked at the doctor grabbing her and kissed her. After there embrace he looked at her and started to give tears of joy.

"I can't believe it", the man said as he walked closer and bend over as if looking at me. "You are going to change the world, and when your work is done we will be in a new world, a world wh—," the vision faded as a presents shook me out of it, I looked to see Yang looking down at me with a worried expression.

"Are you okay Lucio," Yang said with a slight higher pitch than normal, I look around me and see that I am indeed on the floor.

"Yeah… I-I am fine, I guess I just slipped," I tried saying as hard as I could to sound convincing to her, but I could tell with her eyes she knew I was lying, she then stood up and lowered her hand to help me up.

"Thanks," I said as I got up and brushed my pants, then looking back at her smiling.

"I am fine, I promise," I say as I grab her hand and lead her down the rows of clothes continuing our search for me to find an outfit.

"You know we are looking for a suit for me, but have you and Blake found yourself's a dress?" I say to try and get to her stop worrying about me, and to mostly start conversations and get to know each other better.

"Blake and I are going to start our shopping when we get you, your suit." she says smiling at me and then she see's a suit that she really likes; and beings to start yanking my arm to follow her closely. She finally stops, and gives me time to see what she saw and I must admit it was a pretty awesome looking suit. It was an all silk black fabric that has an aura infused stitching that made it comfortable to the wearer, and had a bright baby blue outline stitching near the collar and lower half near the bottom, and the pants had a stripped bright baby blue line that went from the base to the bottom of the pants leg.

"Wow I have to admit this is an awesome suit," I said still looking at it.

"Seeee I told you I would find you a suit," Yang said as she nudged at my shoulder, then reaching and grabbing the suit from the rack and started to walk away my guess heading for Blake.

"Yang," I say stopping her in her tracks, as she turned to face me.

"Yeah whats up," she says as she looked at me.

"Have you ever heard of a place called Babylon?" I say.

"Well not of anything recently, but prof— er I mean said that back in the day there was a band of people who believed that grim where the true rulers of the world, and made a pact with the grim to help them reclaim what humanity took from them, but due to this the four kingdoms came together and destroyed there kingdom and found that was were there was the highs concentration of grimm, so the kingdoms withdrew; but not with out a victory again babylon, why?" she says after giving me her brief history lesson on the name I gave her.

"I was just curious I had heard the name before, but couldn't figure out what it was." I said as I shrugged my shoulders and started to follow behind her, and when she looked away my eyes fell to the ground as I tried to understand what that vision meant "Babylon… huh".

After a few minutes of walking we see Blake looking at dress near the front, from what it looked like the dress she was holding was an all black dress with that was shoulder less and would be fitting to the figure. Then in the back ground you could Ruby and Weiss arguing over the dress Weiss picked out for Ruby.

"NOOOOOO WEISS I am not wearing that, I would rather be eaten by a beowolf than wear that," the red head says as she is trying to speed her way from Weiss who was trying to keep up the speed demon."

"I will do whatever it takes to ensure you look presentable, not only as a girl, but as a leader as well," Weiss said as she continues to attempt to capture our super speedy leader.

"Can I see what you picked out for her, Weiss," I say as I attempt to get Weiss's attention. She then stops pursuing Ruby and grabs the dress she layed across her arm and lays it out for me to see. Soon after I say that Ruby comes flying behind me and hides will peaking over my shoulder.

"Here, now maybe you can help me convince Ruby to at least try it on," as Weiss looked at me saying that I happen to see Yang and Blake walking off to left going to look at the dresses. Although the sight was a bit…. different. It looked kinda weird actually, it was bright pink puffy dress that had bright purple buttons going down the chest to eh bottom with very puffy shoulders and a giant bow in the back.

"Ohh— uhh— wow Weiss… th-that— uhh looks, um….. nice….", Behind me I could hear Ruby giggling in my ear.

"See Weiss even Lucio thinks that, a rainbow throw up on that dress, can we at least dial it down a bit, and if you agree to that then I will actually help out more in finding one," the sly Ruby Rose said.

"Uggggh fine, I guess I have no choice, but that means you actually have to go to every store with me until we find a dress, deal." Weiss said as she moved closer to Ruby making her point clear.

"Fine fine, and I know we are looking for a dress for me; but lets not forget about you to Weiss," Ruby says.

I look at there argument for a little while and decided to look for Blake and Yang, now that I think about it they have been gone a for a long while, I look and look and finally find them at the front of the store holding bags in there hands. I am guessing they finally found a dress and are waiting for us, I make my way to them, but I guess at the angle I am approaching they couldn't see me and thats when I over heard them talking.

"Do you really think, I chose right Yang," Blake ask's Yang as she swings her bag around and opens it a few times.

"Yes Blake for like the 100th time I promise it is a very nice dress," she giggles," you are going to be turning heads at the ceremony tomorrow." Yang finishes.

"Ohh I don't know about that, and I am sure you have had plenty of dates lined up haven't you and if not that then I am sure lots of people have asked you right," Blake says with a sly grin, then it hit me, I assumed that I would be lucky enough to be with her tomorrow, that I forgot that she could have already had a date since she has been there longer. Plus it never even occurred to me that she could have a boyfriend or even somebody she likes.

Just because we had that moment doesn't necessary mean that she has feeling for me, let alone want to even go with me or even us as a team. "Man", I say as I think to myself about the fact that I have gotten my hopes high. I turn away from them and decided to head outside from the side entrance on the other side of the store.

"Wait what Yang," Blake said in shock to what Yang said.

"I was kinda hoping to spend tomorrow with Lucio, I can't explain why, but look Blake there is something I need to tell you, but you have to promise me not to tell a soul, not even Ruby or Weiss okay," Yang says grabbing Blake's shoulders.

"I won't I promise now tell me," Blake says in anticipation.

" Last night while you and the rest of the team were out, I heard something coming from Lucio's room, so I went inside, he apparently had a bad dream, so he changed and without him looking I saw his body… He had lots of scar's Blake, and I mean lots of them and in the middle of his chest is an even worst one." she continues to speak about her encounter with Lucio.

"He showed me his pain and his about his past, we had a moment of understand… the understanding of being alone and looking for someone who might not even exist anymore." as Yang spoke, her eyes began to glisten from tear's about to form.

"I can't fully explain Blake, but with him I feel comfortable about myself and he makes looks at me, not as a warrior, huntress, teammate, but as a normal girl… guess its been awhile since I have ever been treated that way…. or the fact that I have wanted someone to treat me that way," As Yang spoke she felt Blake's hand touch her shoulder and she is forced to look up at Blake's eyes.

"I think, as cliche as this is… you need to flow what your heart is telling you, because if you don't someone else will." Blake says as she lets out a small girl and pulls away from Yang. Shortly after there talk, Ruby and Weiss make there way to them with there dresses and Lucio's suit all ready to go.

"See Weiss I told you I could find a nice dress." Ruby says with a confident grin.

"Yeah Well I guess it snow's in the summer time to sometimes," Weiss says sarcastically.

"Now that the gang all here w— wait where is Lucio..?" Ruby says tilting her head, the girls all look around them and see that Lucio isn't around them

OUT SIDE THE STORE: LUCIO

I really should have thought this through better, I just can't believe I didn't think about that. As i thought to myself I hadn't realized it yet, but I had been walking away from the store.

"heheheheh," I stopped in my tracks and heard what sounded like a little girl. I looked around and couldn't see her, and then it was silent. I looked around me and noticed that nothing was near me; no cars; no people; no sound, hell I wasn't even in the city anymore.

"hehehehe, it looks like the man is confused," the little girl said finally appearing onto of a lamp post. Wait a lamp post, how is that possible I just looked around and I wasn't in the city anymore, but after a another look, I was in the city, but this city was different it wasn't Vale. The city we were in was destroyed and in ruins, the little girl was just sitting there looking down with an umbrella covering her eyes.

"So you are finally aware you aren't home anymore," she spoke sounding like she was behind me, I turned quickly to see that she wasn't there, she continued to speak always sounding like she was close by my, but everything I would look I was unable to find her. "You are in my domain and in my domain,… no one escapes", with her finishing her words, a sharp pain strikes me in the back as I am sent flying into one of the collapsed buildings.

The pain was harsh, but I quickly reacted and got up from the rubble searching for the little girl.

"Where are you" I yelled, still trying to look for her. I instinctively reach behind my back for me weapons, but realized I didn't bring them with me when I left this morning, (not to self make sure to always bring you weapons) I thought to myself.

"Are you sure you really want to know", as she spoke she released a powerful purple particle cannon as I braced for it, I saw it pass right thought me. My heart stopped as I awaited for the pain to come or at least something to happen. Nothing ever did, but I heard what sound like something crashing into the ruin behind me. I stopped and turn to see a man get up and stand as if the power was nothing. I recognize this man, he was the man I have been seeing in my visions. The little girl then proceeded to walk forward and passed right though me as if I was a ghost… or like I was never there.

" I shouldn't expect anything less from the goddess of the grim, but by now you must know I am not entirely human," the man said wiping off the exact same coat I saw at the shop.

"You know why I am here right, Saber," and in a flash the little girl, morphs into a fully groan woman wearing a black dress and has blonde hair with bright red eyes and ribbon tied around her waist and makes a bow in the back.

"Yes, but surly you should know it won't come easy, and how dare you even think you can approach me," even if you are more than human.

"I am the first manifestation of grimm, I am there goddess, I have spared you right now, do not exert my kindness," the dark figure says to the man in the coat.

"Well now that there is a problem, cause you see I always get what I want, and right now I… want… you." He says pointing at the figure.

"You insolent fool, I have grown tired of humans thinking they can do as the please, and I have grown angry," with that said a dark matter surround her and the forces of grimm start to form around her out of thin air, and the man is unfazed by this, instead at incredible speed he flashes right in front of her and jabs his right hand into the stomach of the goddess. She moans in pain as the grimm around her fade back out of existence, and it is just the two of them.

"Now I wonder who the fool is," he says with his hand still in her and as he find what he is looking for, he begins to pull his arm out, while the girl yells in pain, as tears flow through her checks and her bright red eyes begin to fade, she cocks her head back in one final stroke, as the man in the coat rips his hand out of her, as only the whites of her eyes are showing and she falls to the ground, she twitches a bit and then she stops…. and quietly begins to fade into nothing.

He looks up from the girl, and looks at his hand; he is holding onto a black crystal core with a white outer glow.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, finally I now have the power, and soon my life long goal and a changed world will finally come true, there is only one thing left to do before I can achieve that," and as if he could see me, he turns to face me.

"Isn't that right….
