AN: Yo everyone! Here I am, with another chapter to Alter Zwei. I saw some good feedback, though only two reviews, some people have favorited and/or following this fic.

Now, what I forgot to put in the last chapter, is the reduction of OCs from the last two stories, such as the IMD and Raoul Konstantine not being in this second Alter. The only OCs that you'll see, are Dore and Canus, as I have somebody else in mind for the former's 'birth', who is part of RWBY canon, but hasn't been seen in the show as of yet. Who is it? Well, you're just gonna have to wait. XD

Anyway, enough about that. Let's get started!

Chapter One:

Battle Royale

She looked at the redheaded young woman and the blonde young man in front of her. The feeling of her heart beating hard and fast in panic in her chest was unbearable.

A part of her, wanted to rush forward forward and embrace them both, but the rational side of herself squashed those feelings. She had a mission to complete, and had no time to play family with these two.

Besides...they would never accept her, once they found out what she really was.

She took in a deep breath as she readied herself, waiting for the group of students to make the first move.

And she wasn't disappointed as the first one to make a move, was the blonde haired monkey Faunus, who jumped in the air, his weapon in it's bo staff mode as he proceeded to deliver an overhead strike, which she blocked with her shield, before quickly counterattacking by stabbing forward, making the said Faunus jump back to safety, thanks in part to his monkey genes.

That was the que for everyone to begin their own assaults, as they launched their own, with Coco of Team CFVY activating her minigun/brick purse and unleashing a suppressing stream of bullets, the masked woman then used her semblance to yank a steel plate from the floor and used it as a makeshift shield against the fashionista's attack, however this left her open to Yang and Blake who attacked on her right and left respectively.

However, she gave them a surprise, as she sent the piece toward Coco, but thankfully Yatsuhashi was there to cut it in half with his sword, sending the two away from the two Upperclassmen, and missing them.

This however was a distraction as the girl now focused on the two members of Team RWBY. Using her shield she blocked the slash from Blake, while locking blades with Weiss.

"Please stop!" Blake said to the girl as her Gambol Shroud's blade locked with the shield. "We won't hurt you!"

"Blake! She attacked a student and 12 Atlas soldiers, not to mention destroyed Atlas Military Property!" Weiss admonished, as she pressed the attack, "Plus I don't think she's in the mood to back down!"

"You got that right, cake eater," the masked girl said, which caused Weiss to flush in anger at being mocked...especially with the slang that ALL rich kids hate. But before she could make a comeback, the shield on the said girl's left arm holding Blake's sword at bay split down the middle, before opening up and revealing the unmistakable shape of a gun barrel.

Then the barrel snapped forward, pointing into a wide-eyed Blake's face. The masked girl's mouth formed into a small smirk.

"You better move," with that she squeezed the trigger...

A loud bang was heard, as Blake back flipped away, while her clone took the hit.

Seeing one of the obstacles driven back the girl then focused on Weiss, as her shield went back to it's original form and jabbed it at the Schnee Heiress' head, which made contact resulting in a metallic thud.

(A/N: I want to make one thing perfectly clear before moving on. What happens next is not meant as a bashing, this scene is meant for action purposes only. Now *pulls out a bag of popcorn*, on with the story.)

"AGH!" Weiss yelped, while being dazed by the surprise blow, before the feeling of an armored foot hitting her in the stomach made her gasp, followed, by Myrtenaster being swiped out of her hands by the masked girl's longsword.

Then the coup de grace came when the white haired girl felt two hands on the sides of her head before pulled downward and into the masked girl's knee.

Ruby winced as she saw her partner go down, and immediately went to her best friend's aid, first by firing a few shots from her beloved Crescent Rose, forcing the mystery woman back, and then used her semblance to speed toward Weiss and catch her before she hit the ground.

She then looked back at the girl who was now fighting Sun's teammates, Sage and Scarlet, and her thoughts more or less spoke true.

'This is a lot tougher than I thought...,'

Meanwhile

Beacon Tower

Professor Ozpin, along with Glynda Goodwitch, could only watch what was happening on the holo-screen, as their students, along with Team SSSN attempt to stop the mystery masked girl, only for her to resist them...quite violently they might add.

Qrow, who was with them moments ago, had already left the office to the Colosseum to stop the fight, since his nieces were fighting the said girl.

Glynda watched the brawl happening before them with narrowed eyes. She was shocked and horrified at what the girl had done to Mercury Black, though to be honest she thought the boy was too smug for his own good. But that doesn't excuse the mysterious young woman for doing what she did, and attacked him after approaching him to shake Yang Xiao Long's hand. Sure, the legs were thankfully prosthetics, but still...

"Ozpin, we have to stop this," she said, turning to the Headmaster, "If this continues, someone is going to be seriously hurt, or worse!"

The Headmaster silently agreed with her, as he watched the broadcast. Thankfully, the students who have not joined in the fight have begun to be evacuated by the staff in the arena, while the only ones remaining were the four teams fighting the girl.

He could see the raw skill that the mysterious huntress showed, especially since she was holding back in her punches against the students. Though, he almost had a heart attack at the sneak attack on Miss Belladonna with the surprise sub-machine gun in her shield, but aside from that, the girl was intending to be as non-lethal as possible.

This certainly has made him curious, and he intends to find out more about the girl.

With that in mind, he grabbed his cane, while leaving his mug behind as he stood up.

"You are right, Glynda," the older man said, "We need to stop this fight. Plus, I'm interested in this girl's motives...provided James doesn't shoot her first and ask questions later."

Glynda sighed at that, knowing that the Headmaster of Atlas will not take the destruction of his toys, or his men being beaten to a pulp, lightly.

The two proceeded to exit the office, both of them intending to stop the skirmish at the arena.

At Said location

Scarlet David gave a yell of surprise as he was swept off his feet, before he felt a hand grab his ankle and was then thrown through the air and into Neptune.

"OOMPH!"

The two boys rolled across the floor for a few meters before stopping. Neptune was the first to stand as he shook his head to get rid of the dizziness.

"Ugh, man! That chick's tough!" the blue haired boy said, as he turned back to the fight, as Team CFVY's Fox Alistair and the rabbit faunus Velvet Scarlatina moved in to stop the masked girl, but like before, they were beaten back.

"No kidding," Scarlet said, "It's like fighting a one ma-er...one woman army,"

Neptune didn't say anything as he watched Fox, get a palm thrust to the chest before being bashed in the head by the shield, and finally a spin kick which sent him to the ground.

Both boys winced at that.

"Ohh, that hurt,"

The two then stood up as they prepared to fight her, again. But then a blur of red and bronze got their attention as the Spartan herself rushed in to stop her.

The girl was too busy finishing her fight with Velvet, that she barely had time to block Pyrrha's slash from Milo with her own weapon. But when she realized who she was facing next, her heart began to beat wildly in her chest.

"That's enough!" Pyrrha shouted at her, "What you're doing is not the right way!"

The girl didn't say a word at first, before she pushed back against the sword. Gritting her teeth as she did.

"It's the only way!" she countered, "You don't understand what's coming, do you?! You and these ignorant fools are only getting in my way of stopping it!"

Pyrrha's eyes blinked at that before pressing on.

"Who are you!?" She demanded, "And what is coming!?"

The girl just shook her head, "You wouldn't understand..." she said, her tone holding a tint of sorrow, "You already know part of it due to Ozpin telling you about that...that thing below the school,"

Pyrrha was shocked as soon as the girl said that. She headn't even told anyone yet of what Ozpin, Ironwood, Glynda, and Qrow had shown and told her, or the hard choice they placed on her shoulders.

"How...how do you know...,?" Pyrrha gasped out, but the girl shook her head.

"You would hate me if I told you," she said, her tone wrought with grief, "But know this. I'm doing this not just to save Remnant, in fact I could care less about the Four Kingdoms...I'm...I'm doing it for... for you and Jaune,"

Pyrrha blinked surprisingly at that, "Wait, what-...?"

The surprise gave the distraction the girl needed. While giving a scream of effort, she used her own polarity on the metal floor of the arena to make another section break, and lift it from under Pyrrha's feet before flipping her backward.

"Pyrrha!" Jaune shouted as he rushed toward his partner to help her.

The girl, after watching the two for a moment, immediately began to turn around to leave. She wasted too much time already. Only for something red and black to come speeding toward her, forcing to lift up her shield and block a large scythe.

She growled in annoyance, as she saw the attacker was none other than Ruby Rose herself.

"Get out of my way, Rose!" she snapped, but Ruby shook her head.

"No! I want to know why you attacked Mercury!" she said, making the girl growl again, and Ruby thought she saw her eyes glow red under the tint of the mask for a moment. Not like Yang's eyes when she's angry, but more...like...

"I already told your sister, why," she said, her voice beginning to sound feral, "Ask her for the details!"

Ruby was taken aback by this, as she tried once more to make the girl in front of her stand down, but said person wouldn't hear of it.

Having no other choice, the little Reaper decided to use force to try to stop her, first by firing her Crescent Rose in sniper rifle mode, but then she was surprised when the most unexpected thing happened, she blocked the shots with just her bare hands. Memories of that night of the robbery at the Dust til Dawn store, and possibly the same woman with the Opera mask at the CCT on the night of the Dance.

"I...i-i-it's you...," Ruby said in shock, "...you're-"

"Anyone can do the same as me if they concentrate, Little Rose," the Masked Huntress said, "However, there are those who cheat by stealing power that doesn't belong to them. However, I've already wasted enough time with you, and I have no more time for talk"

She proceeded to charge toward the younger girl, as the said Rose, immediately went on guard, before the girl swung her sword down toward her, which was thankfully blocked by Crescent Rose's own blade resulting in a loud clang echoing in the air for everyone in the arena to hear.

Ruby grunted as she strained to hold the girl back, but the said rogue only increased it, as she pressed further. The Little Reaper had to close her due to the pressure.

'She's...she's too strong!' Ruby thought, her mind reeling and wondering why this girl was so strong.

"As I said before," the Rose heard and opened her eyes and saw that her face was close to the masked visage of the one she was fighting, "Get. Out. Of. My. Way!"

With that, Ruby felt the ground around her rumble, before she felt vertigo and was sent flying away.

"Ruby!" Yang shouted in worry, but it was unnecessary as Ruby, still on the flying piece of debris, used her to semblance to quickly jump off, before landing on the ground, using her aura to cushion her fall.

The brawler sighed in relief before turning to the one who nearly hurt her sister, and saw the masked huntress running toward the stands.

She then slammed her fists together, her hair glowing while her eyes turned red.

"You messed with my sis, you messed with me," she growled and was about to charge off, when she felt a hand on her shoulder. Turning to the side, she saw her Uncle Qrow beside her who looked at her with a serious frown.

"Easy there Firecracker," Qrow said firmly, "That girl already gave you and the rest of these kids a good thrashing already. Time for the grown ups to have a shot,"

Yang looked like she was about to argue, but a squeeze on the shoulder, and Qrow's red eyes narrowing a bit more, stopped her.

She sighed in irritation at that, before she caught sight of Mercury still crawling on the ground with Emerald running towards him to get the now legless boy out of the arena.

Remembering what the girl said to her, Yang decided on a different target to vent out on.

Emerald was busy dragging the two heads shorter Mercury toward the stands, wanting to get out as quickly as possible.

"Where the hell did that masked huntress come from!?" the green haired thief asked, as she had her arms under his, while said amputee was grumbling.

"How should I know!?" he said, "But one thing's sure, she's doing our job for us, even if we didn't frame the blonde bimbo,"

"Idiot! We're suppose to sow doubt and distrust against Ozpin and the other Academies, and that part of the plan is being fucked!" Emerald reprimanded, as she continued on toward the safety of the stands.

"I'm sorry...,"

Both of them froze at the familiar voice, before turning and seeing none other than the said blonde herself, who was giving a not so friendly smile.

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but did you say something about framing me, and something that involves distrust and doubt?" Yang said as she playfully dug her pinky into her ear, "Cause I think I got something in my ear when I was coming over to talk to you."

The two didn't say anything, but then Yang's hair started to glow gold, and her eyes shifted to red.

"So, how about you two and I have a little chat,"

Cinder was furious.

No scratch that, she was downright pissed off, as she scowled at the opposite wall of the hallway.

This was not part of the plan at all! True, that masked huntress had helped in causing fear and panic to a level where the Grimm will be coaxed into a frenzy, but it's not enough to bring in the large overwhelming amount needed to bring Vale and Beacon to their knees. Not to mention, placing doubt, and distrust toward the Hunters, the Acadmies, and finally Ozpin.

'Well, at least the virus I installed in the CCT hasn't been compromised,' she thought as she drew out her black scroll, a smirk on her face as she opened it, and saw that the signal to the virus was still strong.

'I'll just have to improvise the plan a little,'

She then closed the scroll, and prepared to leave and rendezvous with Emerald and Mercury back at the hideout. Yes, they had hit a snag, but nothing they couldn't fix.

However, before she could, a distinct sound like a disc flying through the air caught, and she snapped to her left, and barely had any time to dodge the incoming round shield, which embedded in the spot where she was. If she hadn't caught the sound just a second earlier, that would've been a very messy decapitation.

"Well crap, I missed," she heard and snapped around, seeing the one responsible for making a mess of the original plan. She turned as the shield pulled itself from the wall, black energy surrounding as it returned to the arm of it's owner. "I'll be sure not to miss the next time."

Cinder's brow scrunched, as she glared at the girl. She took notice of the malice in her voice, and the tightening on the grip of her sword.

"Who are you?" she said, "Did I wrong you in another life?"

She felt the glare from the masked eyes as the girl answered.

"In a way you did," she answered as she assumed her guard stance, with the shield up in front, weapon gripped tight, and her front foot forward, "As for who I am...it's Arkos... Dorée Arkos."

She then charged at her, making Cinder use her Fall Maiden Powers to block the sword strike, which almost caused her to buckle.

"And you...," Dorée growled, "...Are at the top of my shit list, BITCH!"

Patriot-112: And finally! Done! Man that was difficult to write! Not to mention, my grandfather and my weedeating job kept me EXTREMELY busy!

Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, and I will appreciate any ideas you think would help the story move along...though, except for certain angry flaming trolls who would want me to terminate this like they do to so many others.

But, enough of that, please leave a review, fav, or follow. And visit my Arkos Child Challenge Forum if you're interested, no rush intended.

Until next time. Later!
