I'm back! And here we are: 50th chapter! I never thought I'd get this far but I did! And what better way than to not only give you a new intro but bring in the icon of the BBC sci-fi show about prehistory and spec. evolution, Primeval!
So without further ado, let's get started!
(Play Primeval Theme)
There's a black background and shards of glass floating in a sphere formation.
Shards come together to form two pairs: one an image of Ruby Rose, then of a screeching Velociraptor.
Two more pairs form an image of Weiss Schnee then of a shrieking Troodon.
Two more pairs form an image of Blake Belladonna then of a Dinofelis leaping towards the screen.
Two more pairs form an image of Yang Xiao Long then of an Ankylosaurus flailing its club.
Two more pairs form an image of Darrel Maximus and a T-rex roaring, jaws glowing light blue.
Two more pairs form an image of Isaac Von Reinhbach and Woolly Mammoth trumpeting in a blizzard.
Two more form an image of Matthew Lewis then of an Utahraptor leaping down, the sun behind it.
The last pair forms an image of Dalton Goldenrod then of a Megalania running towards the screen, hissing.
All the shards come together to form RWBY with Primeval below it before all the shards scatter.

Noon
Forever Fall Forest
A group of AK-200s and soldiers-led by Penny- were patrolling this part of the red forest.
Why, you ask? Well, Team CEELI had requested since their leader, Cassiopeia had a premonition of sorts that something was going to happen, and no one argues with the daughter of their boss.
One AK had picked up something on its scanners behind it and barely turned only for it to get slammed into the ground, hard and its head torn off and rolling towards the others.
They all opened fire on the beast, but it was far too fast and those that were unlucky- robot or not- had their throats ripped out and/or mauled to death or shutdown.
The beast pounced on Penny and just before it killed her; it was gunned down by the remaining knights and soldiers, killing it.
When Penny got a good look at the beast, her eyes widened in fear. "Oh no…."
24 hours later
Beacon Mortuary
Teams RWBY, JNPR, CFVY, & DIMD were called down to the mortuary due to Team CEELI requesting them for a dire mission.
"What could be so grim that 21 huntsmen & huntresses need to see?"Yang wondered.
"Well if it it's got my Impy worried, then it must be important."Coco said, concerned for Imperious.
They arrived to see not only Team CEELI, but also Ironwood & Penny.
"Ruby!"Penny hugged Ms. Rose. "Good to see you too, Penny."She said with a strained voice. Penny is strong you know.
"So Imperious, what's so urgent that you need that need us to see?"Darrel inquired.
"This." Ethan removed a tarp covering a metal table, revealing a most grotesque beast.
The head was bulbous at the top and there was a large opening in the center where the 'eye' would be. The mouth was dog-like and had sharp teeth that were stained with blood. Neck was thick and muscular. Body was thin yet muscular and the way the back arched made the spine visible under the skin. Arms and limbs were long and spindly but muscular, and terminated in 5 sharp claws.
The skin was sickly gray, and it would be 7 feet tall if it stood up and it weighed in 1,100lbs.
"What is that?"Jaune asked, grossed out.
"What we feared would return: a Future Predator."Cassiopeia said, dread in her voice. "It's from the future?!"Nora said, energized.
"I'm afraid so. The time it comes from is a post-apocalyptic Remnant."Luis said.
"WHAT?!"They all shouted, horror-struck.
"What happened to our planet?!"Weiss yelled.
"10,000 years ago in the future of our home, an asteroid strikes the middle of Remnant and in a matter of just a century all 3 races: Human, Faunus, even Grimm became extinct. In their place, ordinary animals have taken over once more, and the out of all the creatures, the Future Predators are one of the Apex predators of Remnant."Imperious said.
It took a whole lot of willpower and comfort for all of them not break down in tears from that.
'Everything I want to protect and love….gone. 'Darrel thought, traumatized.
"What makes them so special? The Future Predators?"Pyrrha asked, still a little shell-shocked.
"For starters, their sharp teeth and claws can pierce bone and metal with ease, and when they go for the kill they always go for the jugular."Luis stated.
"They're also very fast and agile, able to run 77mph and can even scale walls."Emily added.
"They're also durable to some extent. They can shrug off gun fire anywhere except the head and heavy force by impacts can be fatal."Ethan stated.
"And despite appearances, they're actually bats. That 'eye' is their ears fused together, making them excellent at echolocation and tracking prey."Cass added. "And on top of that, they're as smart as us."
"So what we're dealing with is super powerful killer bat?"Darrel summed up.
"Yes. During their first year, Team CEELI had engaged them several times." Ironwood removed his glove, revealing that his hand was metal! "It was them- these monstrous bats- that nearly killed me and murdered Cass's mother, my wife."
Luis hugged Cass to prevent her from breaking down in tears.
"Sir, allow us to deal with these pests."Ruby exclaimed, confident.
The general sighed. "Very well." He hugged his daughter. "Be safe." "Yes sir!"

10:00 p.m
Forever Fall Forest
All 21 Hunters were patrolling the forest, with Darrel as a Tarbosaurus.
"Smell anything, Darrel?"Blake asked. "Hard to tell."He said his voice deeper.
Suddenly, they were surrounded by over 100 of the monstrous bats! Even worse, Cass noticed that some had bat like wings on their backs! "They can fly now?!"
"Pick your targets, people!"Jaune shouted.
Imperious generated a gust of wind that wrapped around each of his allies. "It's ok; I'm boosting your speed."He stated. They all nodded.
Ruby and the 3 she was fighting were a blur: constantly jumping and running about, trying to land a hit on the other and Ruby stunned one with an AP round to the back, allowing her to stab it with CR in the ears, killing it. Another was impaled through the top of the skull and the other was decapitated.
Weiss used her glyphs to block most of their attacks of her three and finished them with a stab to the skull- rapier and/or ice spear.
Blake used her shadow clones to evade the 3 she was fighting and finished them off with headshots, slit throats or decapitation.
Yang tanked hits from her 3 and then finished them with snapped necks, broken backs, or heads blown off.
Jaune, even with a speed boost was having some difficulty with just one but he bashed it over its head with his shield and then brings his sword down the top of its skull, killing it.
Pyrrha was fighting 4 and was faring well, and took them out with headshots or decapitation or even a spear through the mouth.
Nora was like a monster, blowing up 5 with 3 shots of her grenade launcher and smashed the legs and heads of 4 others to bloody pulps.
Ren was very graceful yet deadly, even pinning one to a tree with one part of SF by the blade and pumping its head full of bullets with the other half. One tackled him and nearly killed him had Nora not thrown it off and broke its back with one electrical charged hammer slam.
Darrel was surrounded by 15 of them but they were no match for his power: some were ripped apart by his jaws, some crushed under his feet, thrashed by his tail or blown up by his red heat ray.
Isaac was constantly teleporting about and either slicing the heads of the bat off with his scimitar or pumping skulls full of lead with the MP44.
Matt has now upgraded his cloning ability so that they exploded on contact and he used that to take out 4 of them. He also blew heads off with his db shotgun or slicing them in two with his claymore.
Dalton was brutal: bodies broken with his sledgehammer, blown up and 7 were all kinds of dead with his Grimm gauntlets.
Coco was mowing any that came at her with her minigun; and those that could get pass her spray of bullets had their heads crushed by the handbag.
Fox used his tonfas to slice through 5 of them and one imploded with his technique of making his opponents implode by swelling up.
Velvet had manifested hard-light copies of Darrel's spear and Isaac's Scimitar for 4 of them and easily impaled/slashed through them.
Yatsuhashi was a brute: in the wake of a single swing of his massive sword, 5 of the future bats laid dead and another 8 were crushed by a shockwave when he slammed it down on the ground.
Cassiopeia was livid. While she only handling one, she was firing bullet after bullet from her rifle into it, backing it into a tree. "Die, you piece of-!" The curse was unheard as she fired the final bullet into its head, blood, bits of bone, and brain matter smearing onto the tree.
Ethan was given the speed boost since his semblance was similar to Yang's: boosting his defense but a drop in speed with each hit he takes. Then again, he was slow enough with his shoulder-mounted machine gun, killing 10 of the monsters.
Emily was like an acrobat with her chain boomerangs, taking off 2 heads at a time via impaling them at the top of the skull and yanking back, tearing their hands clean off.
Luis was having trouble with 2 of them, his ordinary arrows from his wrists-mounted crossbows doing little damage. In pain, he crouched into a fetal position, generating a turquoise green shield of energy around him and the predators were now beating on the shield, and it was starting to crack.
Ethan came in, snapped the neck one, and then pinned the other, allowing Luis to kill it with a fire Dust arrow to the mouth. "Always having to save your rear end, huh Luis?"Ethan said jokingly. "Shut up!"Luis retorted.
Imperious was like a tornado-literally. He was using his semblance of wind manipulation to slice through 10 predators with not the blade, but pure air pressure! And another 5 were killed by his guardian angel that he summoned.
In total, over 100 Future Predators lie dead. "This isn't right! Future Predators were never this coordinated nor could they fly!"Cass said, exhausted.
However, one flying predator had escaped the carnage and tackled Coco, its teeth going for her neck. In rage, Imperious's anger was transferred to his angel and her appearance was more of an adult woman and instead of short swords, it had a scythe.
It fired two red lasers from her eyes, knocking it off of Coco and allowing her to bat it away with her scythe into the sky.
Having a pair of leathery bat wings on its back, it was able to fix its path through the air and fly towards where the anomaly was which was on the edge of the Forever Fall Forest and entered the anomaly.
Its home was the ruins of Vale; specifically Beacon Academy!
The place was covered in vegetation and parts were collapsed as humans haven't been around for decades to keep the place in top form.
But the most notable and frightening aspect was that it was crawling with future predators, both normal flying and a variant that had webbed hands and feet and fins on its arms and legs. They either were feasting on various unknown animals or communicating with bat-like clicks and dog-like barks.
Suddenly, all activity ceased as they heard the sound of their QUEEN walking into the main room.
The upper body was similar to a Future Predator, but the head was a bit more elongated and there was a red patch above her ears, signifying her dominance. Neck was more muscular. Arms were much longer and muscular and ended in 5 blade-like claws. Her 6 legs were like spider legs and ended in sharp serrated spikes. And the tail was long, segmented and ended in a sharp blade like tip.
All the other Predators were silent while the one that had returned was shaking, whimpering, and its wings bent down in fear.
'Tell me, my pet…WHERE ARE THE OTHER HUNDRED?!'She demanded and shrieked.
'They were killed, my queen.' It then explained what happened. 'One was human but turned himself into a monstrous reptile.' It told of Darrel. 'And the ones who killed our kin from the past have returned.'
With that, the Queen struck the ground next to it with her bladed tail and then hoisted up the predator with her bare hands.
'Fail me again, and I won't be as forgiving!'She scolded. 'Y-Yes my queen!'She released him and he scurried off.
'I want my 4 best swimmers to go and tell the Mer Queen of this!'She demanded. They ran off.
She looked to the rest of her kind. 'The rest of you find me the shape-shifter and bring him to me at once!'
Yep, I took one of the most terrifying animals from Primeval and made them even scarier; including a Queen I call Xenator. Her name means alien predator. And she will be an important villain later in the story.
