little side note here:
New grim are white fang members turned into a more feral but still anthromorphic versions of themselves. Enjoy this chapter, oh and I don't have internet at the moment so i trusted one of the authors I knew on fanfiction to get this done, and to my friend Keeper Of The One Winged Angel I shall be back soon.
ozpin wasnt joking when he said they would start in the morning because at six am, it was time for weiss' match to start.
" good morning ladies and gentlemen today we start off with weiss schnee and blake belladona wish them luck folks. As weiss took postion in the coliseum she frowned as she thought.
" what am i going to do, if this thing can turn into what i fear then-. Weiss however was cut off as a familar voice went through her ears.
" weiss its been so long since i last talked to my second child how are you. Weiss looked up sharply and glared as the grimmor had decided to take the shape of frost schnee, her father.
" shut your mouth you filthy creature. Frost laughed at what weiss said and grinned a face splitting smile.
" oh come now my little snowflake thats no way to talk to your father. Weiss growled as she raised her sword and pointed it at frost.
" shut up your not my father. Frost pouted at weiss's words and stepped closer.
" but, snowflake i just want to spend some time with you like we used to. Weiss couldn't take the pressure any more and laid a glyph on the ground allowing her to zoom by frost and slash him across the side making him cry out in pain.
" agh you little brat how dare you! Weiss snorted as she laid down another glyph and attacked him two more times.
" shut your mouth you arn't my father. Frost growled as he healed his injuries and glared at his daughter.
" hmph seems im going to have to train you to respect me girl. weiss winced at these words and her eyes widened as as frost laid down a speed glyph.
" how can you do that, that shouldn't be possible. frost laughed as he used his new speed to apear behind weiss and kick her to the ground.
" i am a creature of grimm any thing is possible. weiss grit her teeth as she stood up before quickly flicking her wrist and laying down one of her own glyphs as she ran forward. seeing this, frost grinned as he to ran foward. the two schnees met each others attacks, before seperating and attacking again multiple times. both trying to get an advantage over their enemy.
after a few minutes both schnees seperated, breathing hard from the effort they put in.
" i must admit weiss you impress me now, however you still deserve punishment for insulting me. weiss growled as she reloaded and her eyes darted around as she tried to think of a plan. but as she did this, frost pressed his advantage, and disarmed weiss.
" you lose again little girl. weiss grit her teeth and growled as she heard this words.
" I haven't lost yet. frost smirked as he prepared to zoom forward and finish weiss off.
" oh? and what makes you so sure you can win. weiss grit her teeth and and clenched her fist.
" the fact that my name will be greater then yours. weiss then activated a set of yellow glyphs in front of her fists, and punched frost hard in the gut making him fall to his knees.
"gwah i think you broke my ribs. weiss grinned and put a glyph in front of her left fist before punching frost in the face sending him into the ground,and bouncing him off of it. as frost fell down, weiss picked up her weapon and glared in frosts direction.
" im not afraid of you anymore. frost laughed as his mouth filled with blood and spat it onto the ground.
" hmm of course your not, i know what you are afraid of now. frost then grinned as he morphed in front of weiss's eyes, his body becoming more feminine, his weapons morphed into a familar sword, and lastly his voice changed as he spoke.
" your afraid of yourself weiss. the grimms transformation was then complete showing an exact replica of weiss, except for her scar being on the opposite side of her face.
" now then weiss can you manage to fight yourself hmm. weiss growled at her clone but grinned as she put her sword away.
" your a bigger idiot then i thought you were if you turned into me. the fake weiss's eyes narrowed at these words and hissed.
" what do you mean, your afraid of yourself. the real weiss lost her smile but walked forward as she spoke.
" you may be me, and I may fear what I am, but i'm not the same spoiled brat I used to be, I care for and protect my team and they do the same for me, and I'll be damned if I let myself be the reason why we fail. the fake weiss frowned and her image then flickered before returing to its original form.
" hmm your a brave girl to stand up to both of your fears lord therist will have fun breaking you just like he did to your ancestor. weiss's eyes widened at this information and she wasted no time in finishing the grimm off as she cut its head off as it started to laugh.
" thats the match, the winner is weiss shcnee. the crowd and team rwby cheered at this and weiss sighed as she slowly walked out of the coliseum. as she exited, neptune was there to greet her.
" hey snow angel you okay, that fight seemed to be way more personal then it should have been. weiss nodded and then swayed for a moment before collapsing into neptunes arms.
" weiss?!, crap I gotta get you to the medical tent now. neptune then ran to the nearby tents to find the medical tent. meanwhile, a few hours later, Ruby and nocturne had started their plan and were walking towards therists pyramid with their masks on, and their hoods up. when they neared the entrance of the pyramid the new grimm gaurds came out to stop them.
" stop right there and state your buisness here. nocturne turned to ruby and nodded before turning to the guard and reaching into his robe.
" we have a message for your master. the closest guard turned his head at this, but kept his gun in hand.
" whats the message sir. nocturne smirked as he gripped his scythe as he spoke.
" die. nocturne then whipped out his scythe, and slashed the closest guard to him before throwing his scythe and killing three others. ruby, on the other hand, took out her scythe in gun form, and shot two on the right killing them as well.
" alright that worked are we moving to phase two nocturne? nocturne nodded at ruby as he caught his scythe and flicked the blood off of it.
" yes we proceed as planned. the two then walked into the pyramid together, and were quickly surounded by new grimm.
" Halt cease and desist this instant, you will go no further. nocturne chuckled as he threw back his hood and stared at the closest new grimm.
" oh? really because i can think of one reason why I am. the new grimm soilder raised an eye brow at this and grinned.
" and whats that. Ruby grinned as she whistled in response, causing a fire ball to fly in from behind them. the new grimm, were unprepared for this, and were sent into a wave of chaos when the fire ball hit, causing the perfect distraction for nocturne and ruby." come on ruby ranma will cover us. with that, ruby and nocturne left while ranma stepped into the pyramid in their place.
" agh what the hell happened somebody stop them. As the new grimm struggled to regain order, ranma's eyes could be seen shining through the smoke and he was quickly surounded.
" Alright human scum we have you-meep-g-. the new grimm member however was unable to finish his sentence from fear as ranmas fire filled maw came into veiw. while the screams of pain could be heard, ruby and nocturne made their way through the pyramid, checking out each room on the way to the dungeons. as ruby looked around in the area she noticted a lack of enemies.
" i don't understand where's all the grimm at. nocturne frowned at rubys words and rubbed his mask.
" i don't know the only reason why i geuss he would send out his grim would be to hunt some one down be alert this could be a trap. Nocturne and ruby then continued down the dark hallways until they reached the dungeon. As nocturne got ready to open the door, he turned to ruby.
" are you ready for this. ruby nodded and the two then entered the dungeon, finding grim strapped to the wall.
as they entered grim slowly looked up causing his eyes o widen in surprise when he saw them.
" Ruby?! dad!? what are you to doing here your in danger. nocturnes eyes widened in surprise when he heard grim call him dad, causing him to run over to grim and hug him.
" when ozpin told me you remembered what happened i wasn't sure what to think, I am so sorry that i abandoned you grim. Grim sighed and looked up at nocturnes mask with a smile.
" i forgive you dad i know why you did it and if you didn't i wouldn't have known Ruby or anyone at beacon. nocturne chuckled at grims words as he cut his chains and helped grim stand up.
" can you walk son. grim nodded and grit his teeth while he healed his wounds, leaving some scars on his chest and side.
" i can walk well enough, ruby its good to see you again. ruby at first didn't say or do anything but soon enough, she lept forward, pulled up her mask, and kissed grim.
after a few minutes of kissing ruby pulled back and looked at grim with worry in her eyes.
" grim i was so worried about you what happened in that tunnel. grim grimaced and rubbed his head and tried to think but only came up with a blank.
" I don't remember anyway thats not important right now, we need to escape. ruby and nocturne nodded but as they turned to leave, clapping could be heard as a clawed foot entered the room.
" well done nocturne you maned up and came to rescue your son, that pissed off godzilla at the entrance is really making short work of my new grimm to such a waste. nocturne growled as he held his scythe towards therist and glared at him.
" therist so we finally meet face to face took you long enough to come back. therist laughed at that and waved a finger at nocturne.
" ho oh your funny nocturne so hows the wife? nocturne growled at that and clenched his scythe even tighter.
" you already know you bastard. therist shook his head at this, and chuckled.
" ah why yes i do, all jokes aside you have some balls coming in here when i was hunting down the white fang. grim stepped forward at these words and chuckled as he looked into therists eyes.
" so Adam did take my advice, hmm seems your at a disadvantage now therist. therist growled at this and raised a hand to hit grim but before he could ruby shot his hand with her scythe.
" you will not touch him again you bastard! therist hissed as he healed his hand and laughed at rubys words.
" oh and what makes you think i will let you leave with him. grim waited a moment and grinned before pointing behind therist.
" Ranma for one thing. therists face twisted in confusion and turned around to come face to face with ranma.
" oh god da-. but, before therist could finish, ranma breathed a fire ball into him sending him into the wall, and hitting his head on it, knocking him out. grim grinned at ranmas apearence, and hugged his dragon.
" hey boy i missed you haha, thanks for the save. nocturne smiled at this display and wrapped his arms around grim,ruby,and ranma.
" well now that therist is knocked out we can shadow travel lets get out of here before therist wakes up, his grimm and new grimm armies are probably coming back to. nocturne then shadow travled all of them out of the pyramid and back to beacon.
meanwhile at around the same time nocturne and ruby were entering the pyramid, yang and blake were walking down to the coliseum.
" so what do you think your going to face. blake grimaced and gripped gambol shroud tightly.
" I don't know precisly but i hope its not going to be what i think it is. yang frowned and put a hand on blakes shoulder.
" hey whatever it is you can handle it, im going to check on weiss. blake nodded and sighed as she walked towards the door as the announcers spoke.
" greetings once again ladies and gentlemen, now we continue the first round of our tournament with the last member of team rwby Blake Bellodona. blake then entered the coliseum and looked around at the auidence, locking eyes with sun for a moment, before falling on the grimirror who was grinning at her.
" ooh a kitty cat i have always wanted a pet. the grimirror then stalked around the many boulders and dust crystals.
" hmm but i must wonder what it fears,perhaps it fears rejection. the grimirror then turned into ruby as it switched rocks.
" your nothing but a lier and a spy. blake winced and the grimirror laughed as it transformed into yang while switching rocks.
" you were supposed to be my partner i trusted you. blakes eyes narrowed at this and her lips started to tremble while the grimm transformed into weiss.
" ha you thought we were friends please i always knew you were worthless. the grimirror then laughed as it stepped in front of blake and watched the tears drip down her face.
" oh but, its not really rejection that you fear is it little kitten, what you really fear is-. the grimirror then paused as he transformed right in front of blake, turning into adam.
" having to fight me. blakes eyes widened at this and she stepped back in fear however, before the fake adam could take advantage of this, a tulip landed on blakes head, making her look up into the stands which allowed her to look at the real adam, who was wearing a cloak.
" adam? as blake whispered his name the real adam nodded at her and smiled. seeing this, blake glanced back down at the fake adam and hissed as she ran forward and sliced at his chest. the fake adam wasn't expecting this attack and received a clean slice across the chest as punishment.
" agh impossible no one can see through our illusions of fear. blake said nothing in response and turned around to slash again with gamboul shrouds sheathe. the slice while blocked was powerful and sent the fake adam skidding back in the dirt.
" you dirty faunus, ngh fuck you. the grimmirror then held its wound as its image flickered and then disapeared.
" heh so the cats not afraid anymore well- then die! the grimmirror then made one last effort to run forward and attack blake but it was all for nothing as it sliced through a shadow, before blake appeared behind it and cut its arms off. now defeated, the grimirror then dropped to its knees and sighed.
" damn it i failed. blake then cut the grimirrors head off ending its life as the crowd cheered. back in the stands therist clapped until he felt a tap on his shoulder and saw a cloaked scar.
" my king, there has been a breach in your sanctuary. therists eyes widened at this information and he growled as he turned to cinder and spoke.
" stay here and judge them, scar take my place until i get back. therist then shadow traveled back to his pyramid.
At one am that day, grim, nocturne, ranma, and ruby arrived back at beacon, and were all rushed to the hospital. when grim awoke, he found himself surrounded by his friends.
" hey everyone good to see you all. hearing grims voice , everyone quickly began speaking until glyndas voice could be heard.
" thats enough!, now i know you all have questions for grim but ask them later, he has buisness to attend to. the teens in the room grumbled in response but eventually left as ozpin, ironwood, glynda, winter,qrow, and nocturne entered the room.
" well this certainly is a party whats the ocasion oh wait no let me geuss its therist. ironwood nodded and sheepishly rubbed his hands.
" yes we need to know what hes planning. grim chuckled at this as he put his hands under the patient gown he was wearing.
" well sorry to disapoint you ironwood, but all therist shared with me was pain. grim then took off the gown showing the adults in the room. everyone flinched at the three jagged claw marks on grims chest, along with the stab mark from the knive. ozpin then was the first to move, as he laid a hand on grims shoulder and smiled down at him before speaking.
" thats enough of that, now Qrow, what do you have to report on the enemy. Qrow sighed as he ran a hand through his hair and looked out the window.
" well its not good even now the enemy is inside our borders. ironwood scoffed at that and looked at qrow with disbelif.
" impossible securities to tight theres no way they snuck in here. glynda glared at ironwood for interupting and hit him over the head with her crop.
" shut up you child we need to hear this. winter ignored the present spat and instead, turned to Qrow.
" Do you know who they are? qrow sighed and shook his head.
" no I had to stop both because of the tournament and therists return all i know is that their here. nocturne nodded at this information before looking down at grim.
" i think we have all we need from my son lets let him talk to his friends he has been gone for nearly a month. ozpin nodded and shifted his smile to nocturne before drinking his cofee.
" quite right nocturne, the tournament also starts up again in an hour so i declare this meeting adjourned. the adults then left the room leaving grim alone for but a second, before cardin and his team walked in.
" hey grim how are ya doing? grim arched an eyebrow at cardins appearence and scoffed.
" im sure you know how im doing cardin therist sent my torture to everyone after all. cardin nodded at these words and frowned while the rest of his team looked sheepish.
" look we just wanted to say thank you. grim tilted his head at these words in confusion.
" what for? Cardin smiled sheepishly and chuckled.
" for opening my eyes to my actions you and jaune really snapped me out of it. Russel nodded as he added in as well.
" we all learned, and becams nicer people from it. Dove smiled in agreement as he spoke.
" yeah we even stuck up for rubys and jaunes team so they could look for your dad to find you. Sky spoke last with the biggest smile on his face.
" basically we are saying thank you for helping us make friends. grim smiled at their words and nodded in acknowledgement.
" your all welcome im glad you all changed for the better. cardin shook grims hand and then gestured for his team to start to leave as he followed them.
" want me to send the others up? they all have questions for you. grim nodded as he watched cardin leave and waved.
" yeah thanks cardin i'll see you later. a few minutes later, and all of grims friends were in the room and since grim knew chaos could follow, he decided to speak first.
" alright I'll take team Jnprs questions first, then team SSSN, then my dearest friends on team RWBY may speak. hearing this, jaune raised his hand first.
" what happened in that tunnel? grims expression darkened but none the less, he anwsered jaunes question.
" the tunnel was part of therists plan that we so foolishly played a part in, sure we stopped the city from being destroyed but, therist had a much bigger back up plan, capturing me, and he sent one hell of a general to do it. jaune frowned at this but nodded as nora raised her hand.
" did you break the generals legs? grim chuckled at noras question and shook his head.
" no i did one better, i killed him, he was a tough foe but, eventually my semblence allowed me to kill him at the cost of almost all my energy. nora nodded at this and calmed down as pyrrha raised her hand.
" do you remember how they got their hands on you? grim thought on this for a moment but as he did, a massive head ache came on making him wince.
" no, there was a woman in therists base that had an obssesion with me, i think she may have captured me im not sure. Ren asked his question quickly, after seeing the look on grims face.
" are you alright? grim sighed as his head ache faded and nodded.
" i am now thank you for asking ren. jaune coughed as he teams questions were anwsered and stood up.
" well our turn in the tournament is soon so, we have to go see ya grim. jaune and his team then departed while grim turned to suns team.
" so im geussing you have some questions. sun grinned at grim and shook his head.
" not anymore you answered them already but you can be introduced to the team. grim nodded and smiled as scarlet and sage stepped forward.
" so this is scarlet and sage of team SSSN? good to meet the mature members of the team. sun and neptune scoffed at this, while grim chuckled as the two spoke at the same time.
" hey were both mature. scarlet scoffed at these words and rolled her eyes.
" please you two are as mature as a puppy now then it was a pleasure to meet you grim, but we have to go train goodbye. sage and scarlet then dragged sun and neptune out of the room as team RWBY surrounded the bed.
" so i think blake has a major question for me regarding one leader of the white fang so i will let her go first. blake quickly zoomed over to grims side and looked at him with interest.
" you talked to adam. Grim nodded and smiled at blake.
" i did i convinced him to change his methods and rebel against therist. blakes eyes brightened up at this, and she hugged grim in happiness.
" thank you for doing that, grim hes the only family i have left. grim chuckled and patted blakes back before turning to weiss and yang.
" im geussing you two want to berate me for my choice to stay behind. weiss shook her head no as she looked at grim.
" what you did may have saved lives, and while it was honorable it was also stupid but im ok with what you chose to do. yang on the other hand frowned at first.
" well im not happy my sister was worried that you died, we all thought you died at first, but im glad your back, we all are. grim smiled at his friends and sighed as he laid back.
" well its good to be back girls, so whats the plan for today. ruby responded by zooming over to grim and laying a hand on his chest.
" you are going to stay here and rest mister and i am going to take care of you. yang and the other girls grinned at this as they started to leave.
" take good care of your boyfriend nurse ruby. Ruby blushed at her sisters words but, stay snuggled into grims side.
" oh i will, you girls have fun watching jaunes team. grim smirked at rubys words and kissed her cheek.
" so you missed me eh geuss i have to make it up to you how about a date. ruby blushed at these words but nodded.
" uh sure theyll let you out soon later tonight then?
grim nodded and smiled as he picked ruby up and hugged her to his chest.
" good until then lets relax. ruby blushed but humed in content as she snuggled into grims chest and relaxed with him.
