RWBY: Foresworn
Chapter II: My Fuck Fuse Has Fucking Broken
"YOU UTTER COCKWOMBLE! YOU PARANOID, SHADY, GOAT LOVING OLD BASTARD. JUST WHEN WERE YOU GOING TO DIVULGE THIS SHIT-STORM ON US…OH WAIT YOU WEREN'T, YOU WERE GONNA DUMP THIS ENTIRE CLUSTERFUCK ON A HALF-TRAINED, SWORD WIELDING TEEN WHO IS ALREADY DEALING WITH YOUR BULLSHIT!" Alastor Moody thundered.
The reason for this recent outburst, Harry had demanded that the Headmaster open his mouth either willingly or by force and explain, his piss-poor, pessimistic, pre-maid martyr plan. Harry would have understood if it was Dumbledore's delusions of grandeur and desperation to be remembered outside of being the 'Defeater of Grindlewald, Supreme Mugwump and other such Titles' but no. It was to do with how that snake-faced, alabaster skinned, bald-headed goose egg on a scarecrow frame, black-robed…menace that was Lord Voldemort aka Thomas Marvolo Riddle or as Harry thought "Male Salem 0.5." And how said edge-lord annoyance had cheated death.
"So, he swiped left at Death by splitting his soul! Fucks sake Headmaster, how fucking hard was that, to tell us that our big-bad end-of-days-nose less snake fucker had split his fucking soul…Now finding said fucking artefacts, now that could have been a fucking better way to waste everyone fucking voluntary support by doing something fucking useful…By the Oum and his fucking testicles. This is why I prefer the Creatures of Grimm, clearly evil, clearly want human-a-la-carte served raw with sides of terror and fear. But no, by wasting everyone's time and risking Mr. Weasley's fucking life guarding a fucking prophecy which in the end caused my Godfathers death, which I blame you fucking for Headmaster; you could have had your currently cuntucky fried useless minions being cuntucky fried useful by investigating shadows and looking for these fucking horcruxes. But no, you play all megalomaniac and dictate us like a fucking chessboard." Harry thundered.
"Language Harry!" Scolded Mrs. Weasley.
"Mrs. Weasley, with all due respect my fucking language, which is Queen's English, thank you very much is the least of our fucking concerns. Now I'd like to draw our attention to the Goliath Grimm in the room…Horcruxes…Where the fuck are they? What the fuck are they? Why were they fucking made in the first place? Where were they first fucking made or even recorded? Who fucking made the damn things? How the fuck do we destroy them?"
Dumbledore turned grey "You don't get a choice to opt out of this…Either square your monumental fuck-ups with us, or Harry and I fuck-off back to our own disaster." Neville chimed in, he too was furious but more of a slow-burn in comparison to Harry's loud and explosive.
"Horcruxes are items of significance to the creator. Generally stored in places that have significance to the creator. To cheat death. Herpo the Foul allegedly and either in Egypt or Greece…and not a clue." This came from Bill.
Harry turned to Bill "Thanks…see Dumbledore. See how you being open makes this whole fucked up situation, that much more fucking manageable?"
"I'll talk to Gringotts, my bosses in the Tomb-raiding side. They go directly to the upper management. You can almost guarantee that they'll investigate every vault, for even a hint of the Horcruxes. Then find and destroy the rest…hopefully."
Bill nodded before vanishing with a soft pop. Harry turned to the Aurors "Start investigating Tom or Thomas Marvolo Riddle, he's a half-blood at least or a magical from two squibs so pureblooded. What are you fucking waiting for? Sweet jesus is everyone in this fucking club, THAT attached to Dumbledore's fucking asshole that you fucking wait for him to shit to give you orders?"
Dumbledore said nothing, he had his own investigations. He had a feeling that Harry and Neville were going to deal with him last. "Tonks, Shacklebolt, Jones…with me. We're going to need to chat with Bones."
Dumbledore went to protest "You've fucked us already. Right now the Wizarding World doesn't need a fondling and kiss. It needs a right good fucking with a bilge hook and a latex bloody dildo. We're still trying to figure out who is who."
Ron cocked his head "What's a bilge hook? What's latex…" Hermione covered his mouth and whispered later.
"You're taking this by the horns." Neville commented.
"Rather grab it by the horns than get it in the balls and the neck. Six people are allowed at the neck and only one at the balls and last I checked…"
"That one ain't here." Neville finished with a smirk. He could tell that his best mate, missed Velvet. Hell, even he missed Velvet; maybe its due to the innocent look the Rabbit Faunus could put him and Harry on their arses.
"Think she's carrying on…"
Harry looked at him "She threatened me with my own blade to come back. Knowing her and her team, they've probably gone to Shade and are having a whale of a time. When we get home, I'll find them."
(RNJR and Yang)
The Geist had been dealt with and now they were slowly moving along the deserted roads, heading slowly towards Haven. "Ruby, you do know it's going to take us a few months to get there." Yang commented
Ruby stared at them "Er…sorry. I've never really left Patch before heading to Beacon."
Nora and Ren nodded in understanding "You should have told us that you were planning to head to Haven and Mistral on foot."
Ruby nodded but Jaune spoke next "It doesn't matter. What's done is done. We're heading to Haven."
(Weiss and Isabella)
The two girls were bored as they sat in their respective rooms. Although the Arctis Family had allowed Isabella time and room to train, decompress and eventually talk about her experiences as a Huntress-in-Training.
"Isabella, your father and I are concerned, you've not been sleeping, you haven't…" Began her mother. Her face became one of panic as she saw Isabella sink to her knees.
"Sweetie, what's wrong?"
Isabella looked at her mother "I…can't stay here. I can't remain in Atlas, I need to do something…I need to find people: Kobi Pow; an Orphan, with the semblance of explosions, carries around a tonne of tyres and Lava, girl from Beacon. We were part of a team known as NIKL with our Leader Neville. Neville and his mate are possibly in danger, but I can't do anything about that but I can find my friends and head to Shade or Haven. Heck, I might be able to get hold of Adam, Nanuuk and Damania."
"Who, who and who?"
"Three Faunus First Years, some…good people and decent enough friends. NIKL was a shield, HAND; Harry, Adam, Nanuuk and Damania they moonlighted themselves as the Little Gentle Gents or really Big Nasty Maniacs. Very good at making point and demonstrating it, when Beacon got attacked…Harry led the defence and we managed to live with minor injuries."
Artoria nodded "And I think its fabulous. You and your friends made it out alive. But General Ironwood has ordered a lockdown, no-one in or out. He has also asked after you…"
Isabella nodded "Hadrian and I never agreed on General-Headmaster Ironwood, Harry's term for him…But there is one that I think is pertinent 'General Dick…tator. Or Dick…tator Headmaster'."
Mrs. Arctis nodded "I shall pass on your request to your father. He will at least, think this over instead of rejecting your plan out of hand like I am. Your great-grandparents, my grandparents, they were Huntspersonel and fought in the War. Same with your fathers side of the family. We profited immensely from their ventures and want you to be happy. We didn't expect you to be taken into the Huntspersonel lifestyle; when you said that we hired the best that we could. We as your parents could and would and probably should prohibit you from doing anymore; but we might not."
Isabella nodded "I understand mother…I just hope Weiss will be able to help."
Her mother snorted "Not a chance. Jaques Schnee won't allow his daughter to do anything…Stupid man…" She stopped "Your friend Hadrian…he appears to be an uncouth or at least blunt-to-the-point-of-rudeness young man, is he not?"
Isabella nodded "Correct…He has…valid points for disliking Atlas. He really disagrees with the Schnee Dust Company, I guess it's do with all of the rumours that circulate about Faunus treatment. He was on a team with three Fauni and was as much as an animal as them in fighting. They were the Team, designed to pretty much go 'Over there and hold' or 'Get them out'. Very good at what they did. When asked their secret they'd say 'Power and stupidity. Power and stupidity'."
Mrs. Arctis snorted "That makes sense. Those who are intelligent and wise have garnered lots of power but do not use it or use too little, gaining the image of washed-up has beens and the stupid cannot wield their power anything more than a blunt instrument."
Isabella grinned "That's HAND in a Nutshell. They gave everything they did a proper Huntsperson welcome…in essence a mountain of over-the-top violence, swearing and a tonne of screaming. Although less screaming, more of a wordless battle cry."
(Weiss)
Meanwhile a much familiar discussion between a multi-tasking, manipulative man and his very much defiant daughter. Weiss sat down; she was already sick of this! Her father had barely checked on her before organising a well-fare concert in order raise funds for the restoration of Beacon Academy.
Weiss moved her bed to one side and picked up her sword "I will not let my father break me…I will do what I want to restore the Schnee name, and I'll do it as a Huntress."
In her mind, she pictured Harry Potter. His snark, wit, bad habits and even worse temper "The ball is in your court. Your blood provides you with the tools to build your future. So what the fuck, are you going to fucking do with them?" Her own manifestation of a menace said mentally.
"I will train…No-one understands, no-one can understand what is going on. No-one gets what I've seen. I've seen some weird things, but…what do they mean?" Weiss muttered to herself.
Her mind went back to the defence of Beacon. She remembered vividly the twin flashes of white light, the stone Grimm, the Dragon Grimm falling and breaking into pieces. She caught a glimpse of a scuffle atop Ozpins tower, where she'd only been once. That was after the accident with the train…She still blamed Harry for making that worse.
Her eyes hardened. She knew what she had to do.
(AND and Kobi)
"So, you three loons 'ave come after me…and you want me to join you morons in causing mayhem and pandemonium wherever we go?" Kobi asked.
Damania nodded "Sums it up. We can't promise you'll reunite with your old team…BUT we can promise you an adventure and bloody good story, as Harry would say."
Kobi stopped "Let's do this…No-one in the family will exactly miss me, there's a lot of us and Patriarch Junkrat…ain't exactly the most collected of individuals." Adam nodded.
"Anyway, we're needing to head to Menagerie. There's another one or two that we need."
Kobi nodded "Think we'll see the Schnee and Arctis again?"
Nanuuk shrugged and breathed in revealing his teeth "Maybe."
