A/N: Sorry it took awhile I was holding it off as I made last minute changes to my character profiles and future events to the story. I also made the prologues into Books, I also put in quotes like in the four RWBY Trailers.
"For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack."
Forever Fall Forest
We see dozens of Red Trees as we see two people one on the left is seventeen year old teenage boy and one on the right was fifteen year old teenage boy as well. Both are laughing as they sit on a rock and look up at the broken moon.
The boy on the left is Duncan Grimm, he is currently wearing a Hooded Active Cool Casual Jacket Outerwear Solid/Plain silver jacket and we see a Beowolf howling at the moon necklace and wears some armored boots and his eyes are pale Yellow and the hoodie covers his head and we see his tail as it looked dog like silver as his hair from the tips and has fair skin. He has two Machete's that are on the rock, as they are called Midnight Shadow.
The boy on the Right is Desmond Grimm, he's the younger brother of Duncan, he has fair skin and is wearing a Black Hooded Letter Pocket Embroidery Fish Mouth Streetwear as he also has his hoodie covering his head but his hair is black and has fair skin and his eyes match his brothers as they are pale yellow and has a Beowolf Necklace like his brother. His weapons next to his brother is two handheld axes as they are black, their names are Wolfsbane.
Both Desmond and Duncan are enjoying the night sky as they say their final farewell's and go their separate ways.
Desmond: So bro? What are you going to do now since your now going outside of the pack?
Duncan: I don't know? Maybe see the world? Enjoy the moment.
Desmond: I'm jealous. [Pouts.] You get to leave while I'm still with the pack.
Duncan: Hey. You are still young. And you are my brother, you got an important job for the pack.
Desmond: [Groans.] Great now you sound like Uncle Will.
Desmond does a pouty face as we see his puffy face and crosses his arms as Duncan pats his brothers back.
Duncan: [Chuckles.] You know Desmond, I swear you are a great little brother.
This was enough for Desmond to turn around and smile showing his canine teeth.
Desmond: And your a great big bro.
Then suddenly we hear a twig snap as the two look in that direction and see a dozen of Grimm as they are mostly Beowolves as they growl at the two. Beowolves have a bone-like mask with red markings characteristic of most Grimm, as well as the bone-like spikes protruding from their arms, back, and knees. Their hands and feet are also tipped with long, sharp, white claws. They can vary greatly in size, with the average specimen being about the size of a human, but with larger Beowolves appearing that can be more than twice as large.
Desmond: [mocking] Well, well, Duncan, it seems that we're surrounded by Grimm.
Desmond then picks up his axes as Duncan picks up his machetes as he scrapes them as we hear a dark chuckle from Duncan as he smiles evilly and we see his canine teeth.
Duncan: I feel bad. For them.
The Beowolf the lunges at Duncan as he lops his head and then dissolves to dust and then another Beowolf comes in to attack as Desmond then turns his axes into smith Wesson pistols and blows off one head of a Grimm. Those guns were powerful enough to blow a head off a Grimm as Desmond despite being small still had enough strength to hold those weapons up, more Grimm come in and try to lunge and claw at them, with little success.
Suddenly a boar like Grimm called a Boarbatusk comes in, a Boarbatusk is a quadruped with many features associated with a real-world boar, including cloven-feet, a line of hair sprouting from its spine, snub snout and tusks.
The Boarbatusk has four eyes and a bone-like mask that seems to be strapped to its face by a black vein-like organic tether. It has a series of plates along its back and on its thighs, and two extra sets of tusks, including two large curving tusks. However, their underside is comparatively under-protected and vulnerable, with little to no body armor or shielding. And Duncan sees it and it starts to spin itself and roll right at him but he then smiles and used his leg as it tensed up and built more muscle then humanly possible and kicks the Boarbatusk and then it acts like a pinball knocking into everything and every Beowolf there until it returned to Duncan as he raised his leg and brought it down crushing the Boarbatusk as he had a look of excitement as it seemed he loved putting them in pain.
Desmond was the same as he showed his canine teeth smile as he laughs maniacally at the brutality at slaughtering Grimm. Then we see a huge Ursa, a Ursa Major. They appear much like the Beowolf, with black fur and bony spikes on their backs and arms, as well as white, bone-like masks with red detailing, but are much larger and stockier.
As the Ursa Major roared at Desmond he roared back as he then attacked with his gun as he took out its knees and it fell forward and when the Major looked up we see two guns under its chin and Desmond showed him his canine teeth with a smile as he pulled both triggers and blew off its head. As the two brothers were both enjoying their kills we then see a huge Ape like Grimm called Beringel, like many Grimm, Beringels are covered in black skin, with bone-like plates covering their bodies at certain places like armor. A red pattern or symbol resembling an eye is present on their back. In short they appeared to have "burnt" skin, with an internal red glow visible from within, where the skin is thinnest. They have well-developed hands with opposable thumbs. They are quite large, at almost twice the height of a Human on all fours.
Now Beringels usually stay the Kingdom's of Sanus or Anima so finding a Beringel out in Vale was really, really rare as the brothers look up and see the Beringel pound it's chest and roared at them.
Duncan: Well, this is a surprise.
Desmond: Yeah, you never see a Beringel this far from its natural Habitat.
The Beringel then jumps up and slams his fist where the brothers used to be. They were surrounded on all sides as one had his guns out and the other had his Machete's, though they weren't worried, in fact they smiled at them. Then suddenly Duncan inhaled sharply and we see him exhale in a large Howl as it sent dozens of Grimm flying away as some of them cover their ears from that loud Howl.
Duncan: [Sighs.] That was fun.
Desmond: Yeah.
As they then see the Beringel and a few other Grimm just stand around not knowing what to do, they were scared. Something the brothers revel in.
Duncan: [Inhales Deeply and Exhales.] I just LOVE. The smell of fear.
Desmond: Yes, brother. It's like an intoxicating high that we monsters seem to enjoy.
In the moonlight the brothers then changed in front of the Grimm showing them what they are as their auras of Silver and Black surrounded the two and their weapons were dropped to the ground and their clothes were removed leaving only their pants and we see a tattoo on Duncan's back or Desmond's shoulder that have a Moon with a head of a Beowolf howling as then the two smile in gleefully something the Grimm notice as if the two that were hunting for were the most dangerous creatures to have ever come out.
As their auras went away and we see that they went under some physical change as their mouths became angular and their teeth elongated and their eyes became vertical and ears started to get pointy and their body mass grew and the hair on their body grew and sprouted out from their backs and their fingernails started to grow longer as if they were claws as they shined in the moonlight and their feet were on the balls of their front feet as caused their legs to extend into something of a bipedal creature and their shoes were ripped apart and we see their toe nails were now claws and their skin was nowhere to be found as it was now covered in fur and their faces were more wolf like in nature as they growled at the Grimm.
It was something unheard of the Beowolves were scared as if they offended them the Ursa and Boarbatusk were no different they bowed their heads down in fear as all run away from them, all but one, the Beringel as he pounds his chest and roared at them something the two just smile.
Desmond [Werewolf Mode.] : [Deep Voice.] And there was one.
Duncan [Werewolf Mode.] : [Deep Voice; Menacing.] It's killing time!
The two then run on all four as if quadrupeds and confuse the Beringel as it swats at Desmond as he dodges before Duncan then jumps on his back and used his talons to cut its face and bone as their talons were incredibly sharp and the Beringel roared in pain and Desmond cuts its hind legs as it then knelt down in pain before looking up to see Desmond and we see his sharp teeth glistening in the moonlight and bites him on the neck as it yells in pain before grabbing Desmond by its waist as it tries to crush him with both hands in anger, as the Beringel was distracted Duncan then used his claws and sliced off the Beringel arm as it falls to the ground releasing Desmond as the two see the Beringel wounded and sliced up.
It started to understand that he was not the monster here, they were as Duncan and Desmond then lunged at the Beringel as their claws glistened in the night and sliced of the Beringel Head and his body fell down and evaporated.
As the two look at each other and everything around their surroundings they then howled at the moon.
Elsewhere in the Forest
While some leagues away we hear Beowolves howl along with that howl as they felt a compulsive need to do it and a few wolves heard it as they howled as well.
As now every one from the Beowolves to the regular animal wolves within their vicinity howled at that howl in harmonious music.
Elsewhere we see a fire pit as we see a fair-skinned young woman with wavy black hair and amber eyes. She front. Underneath this is a white, sleeveless, high necked, crop undershirt and white shorts with a zipper on the front of each leg, emblazoned with the YKK logo of the real-life Japanese zipper manufacturer.
She also wears black low-heeled boots and full stockings with a color gradation of black to purple at her ankles. Her emblem is visible on the outside of both thighs just below her shorts in white. On her left arm is a black detached sleeve with a silver cuff around her bicep, and black ribbons are wrapped around both forearms. A small, loose, black scarf is wrapped around her neck, and a gray magnetic backpack is strapped to her back, hidden by her hair.
A black ribbon is tied with a large bow on the top of her head, and she wears purple eye shadow in cats eye style.
She was startled by that sound as she laid in her sleeping bag but it honestly felt nice for her to hear that animal sound in the night. As she looked in the fire a bit worried about what she is planning on doing next.
Meanwhile
Back with the Brothers as they stopped howling we see their bodies reverted back to human form as we see their skin and short hair and wolf ears.
As they put on their clothes they felt at one with their beast side and walked away from that place.
The Tribe
As we see dozen people in pitched up tents and are armed with weapons we notice that they had two animal traits of Wolf ears and Tails.
We see a few children playing around and women were working the laundry as most of the males were looking outside the camp and keeping a watchful eye to their surroundings.
They then see the Grimm Brothers, Desmond and Duncan as the two returned they see the tribe let them in and went back to their watching in case of anything bad was out there. When they reach the Main tent and we see the chief there as he was meditating we see there is dozen of scars on his back and his tattoo of the pack as it was the same as the other two. It was clear that they all are from the same tribe and when he opens his eyes we see Red vertical eyes and his hair was white and we see their wolf ears and tail as it is stained in red.
It was clear that this old man has been through a lot in his time and yet he is gentle as he waved them to sit.
The Chief: Desmond, Duncan, sit.
Desmond and Duncan: [Bowing their heads.] Yes, Chief Lycaon.
As they sit Lycaon then shared some soup with the two as he asked them what has happened outside of camp.
Lycaon: I heard of your victory. Tell me, what happened outside the camp?
Duncan: It's like this Master Lycaon, we fought a dozen of Grimm, Beowolves, Boratusks, and some Ursa! And then we fought a giant Beringel! And we used our beast powers and—
Lycaon: Did anyone see you?
Duncan: No.
Lycaon: Good. Survival is guaranteed. We go out in small numbers so that we can live longer so that both Faunus and Humans never find us. This is the way.
Duncan and Desmond: "This is the way."
It seems that the the group are some sorta cult a very secretive bunch of people who have monstrous abilities.
Lycaon: Now, Duncan, I want you to go to the City of Vale. There is a Headmaster at Beacon that wants you to attend his academy.
Desmond was very interested in Vale as he never has seen the city itself but always wanted to visit.
Duncan: Vale? Beacon Academy? I'm going there?
Lycaon: Yes. Now rest up and get ready to go tomorrow morning we're going to move to Minstrel kingdom. "This is the way."
Duncan: "This is the way."
As Desmond and Duncan leave the tent we see Lycaon sighs and looks up at the sky as we see smoke leaving the top of the tent.
Lycaon: Please... let him be safe from evil.
Morning
We see Duncan has left with his machetes and a travel bag as he looks down where his tribe was and looked sad before walking away from his tribe. His family once more.
It has been a few hours since he had left and we see he made some distance as he walks to a valley and we see train tracks.
Duncan: Could use the train to cut my time in half.
And right on que we hear a train horn blaring as he then looks down and we see two people were fighting some sorta mecha spider as he then pulled out his machete's and jumped and slide down the hill and attacks the mech spider droid as we fade to darkness.
Few hours Earlier
We see it is morning and we see the girl from earlier as she sits on the rock and look up in the sky, her name is Blake Belladonna.
Then we see her Partner in the White Fang, Adam Taurus. Adam was a tall Faunus with a lean built and auburn hair that spikes backward in a windswept way. While most of his hair was red, he had streaks of brown. A noticeable trait of his appearance was the mask he wore, which obscured his entire upper face above his nose.
Adam also wore an asymmetrical black, long-sleeved, double-breasted stylized high-collared blazer with slit sleeves along with red thorn sigils adorned with a white crest that lined up on his left shoulder. His suit jacket had crimson lining atop his red shirt, with red thorn sigils atop a black flap attached to the bottom of the left hem and his wilting rose emblem on the back over an emblazoned white sigil resembling the curved stems and flower of the deadly nightshade plant. His blazer was half-buttoned, exposing a red shirt with a black line running parallel to his collar under it.
His mask was whitish-tan with red, Japanese style, horn-like symbols decorating the front and two slits on each side presumably to allow for vision. This is a redesigned version of the Grimm masks typically worn by most members of the White Fang.
He wore long black dress pants, black shoes with red soles and black gloves with red sigils resembling the Greek letter Ω (Omega), the last letter in the Greek alphabet.
He wore a black belt with white domino marks on it. His color palette generally consists of black and red.
Adam: Blake, it's time.
She slowly turns toward him.
Blake: Okay.
The pair run through the forest until they reach a cliff, and they look down to see a train rushing through the forest along some tracks.
Adam and Blake slide down the hill and jump onto the top of the train, digging their weapons into the roof as they land. Upon boarding it the two jump onto another car, Adam slashes at a hatch before lifting it as they enter a car full of AK-130 Androids.
Adam: Looks like we're gonna be doing this the hard way.
The Androids activate and circle the duo. As the two seem very calm and not really concerned about the androids there
Blake: Don't be so dramatic.
Then a Android activates the guns on its arms and points it at them.
Android: Intruder, identify yourself.
Adam responds with a smirk and then fired his sword Wilt, dashing behind to shoot it's head off with Blush and then cutting the Android in two. The rest deploy blades and he and Blake uses her Gambol Shroud weapon, and proceed to completely annihilate the Androids in the car. Eventually, Adam kicks one and they burst out of the freight car onto a flatcar and encounter a horde of Androids running towards them.
Adam: Let's do this.
They decimate the horde and enter into a second freight car.
Adam then opens a box and examines the contents inside as they were dust as we see a logo of a snowflake and a title Property of the Schnee Dust Company.
Adam: Perfect. Move up to the next car.
He then closed the trunk and looks at his partner.
Adam: I'll set the charges.
Blake: What about the crew members?
Adam: What about them?
As Blake looks away as she doesn't like to shed blood but they had more pressing matters as Adam senses something was with them as he turns his head around and sees a Spider Droid climbing down from the ceiling of the car. Adam moves to fight it.
Blake: [anxiously.] Adam.
Adam and Blake try to fight it, but it doesn't go so well. Adam grabs Blake before she is about to be crushed by the droid's legs.
Blake: We need to get out of here.
Eventually it transforms his arms into a big gun and it fires a shot and knocks them back as the fight moves out of the car onto another flatcar.
Adam: Buy me some time!
Blake: Are you sure?
Adam: Do it!
Blake distracts the droid while Adam readies his next attack. As she jumps back to Adam some time later... the droid transformed his arms into one canon again as Adam saw this and warned Blake.
Adam: Move!
The droid fires a powerful beam. Adam catches the beam with Wilt. As his body starts to glow, the droid jumps toward him.
???: INCOMING!!!
Adam and Blake then got distracted and we see a individual flying at the spider droid and double kicks it with such amazing force that it flew off the train and we see our savor was Duncan Grimm and he showed his wolf tail and canine teeth but kept his ears hidden with a hood over his head.
Duncan: Is everyone ok? What is going on? What was that Spider... Mechanical... Thing?
Adam: Uh, thanks for your help.
Adam then sheathed his sword away as Duncan then noticed Adam with a mask over his face and Blake with a bow over her head. Blake was shocked to see this stranger come in and saved the two with ease when it was extremely difficult to handle.
Adam: Your pretty strong? Are you some sorta Faunus wanting to join our cause?
Duncan: Oh, no I was hitchhiking and I thought to use the train to get to where I need to go.
Adam: Well, you won't be using this train we're going to blow it up.
Duncan: But what about the people?
Adam: What about them? Their just filthy humans that deserve what's coming to them.
Blake seemed to look down as if she didn't like that idea. Especially Duncan as he knows that there is plenty of bad people around the world on both sides, Monster, Faunus, and Human, he doesn't like bloodshed as he tries to avoid fighting, seeing how he is fighting Grimm is the exception, he can be himself but fighting People? He and all members of the tribe promise to not fight the Humans and Faunus and to avoid killing them.
Duncan: Listen, you have what you need, why not decouple the train and leave the Humans alone.
Adam: No. They need to pay for what they have done to us, to you, to any Faunus being discriminated by the Humans. They need to be treated the same as us. And if humans get in our way we kill them in the name of Justice for any Faunus out there.
Duncan didn't like that as he balled his fists and looks at him with a glare.
Duncan: No. That's not Justice. That's Murder. I can't let the both of you kill these innocent people who are just working for their boss.
Blake was surprised to see someone stand up to Adam and his ideas on justice but he wanted him to stop because Adam was their best fighter in the White Fang and he called him out on killing humans needlessly but he just grips his sword in anger as he doesn't like human sympathizers who won't fight for their freedom.
Adam: So... you love these humans?
Duncan: I wouldn't say love them, more like... generally like them, I mean everyone has their opinions about each other and—
Adam then shot his sword at Duncan as he was distracted talking to Adam as it hits him in the head and knocks him back on the ground. The sword returned to Adam as he looks at Blake as she looks down.
Adam: Set the charges. I want to leave as soon as possible.
Duncan: [Menacingly.] That... Hurt...
Suddenly Duncan eyes went vertical and looks at Adam and then lunges at him and tackles him on the ground and beat him up with his fists, Adam was shocked to see someone get up and attack him as he then used his weapon wilt and attack him, Duncan then used his weapons Midnight Shadow to block him as he used Blush in his other hand and aimed it at Duncan but he dodged it and used his weapon and transformed the two into a double barrel shotgun as he had was close range but as Blake looks on in fear before she has an idea and then leaves them and heads to a separate train car standing near the coupler between the cars.
Adam gets annoyed he then fires a another close range shotgun at him as he stands back up and notices Blake on the another car.
Adam: Blake, what are you doing?
As she looks at Duncan and he looks at her as if he knew what was going to happen she was going to leave him.
Blake: Goodbye.
She severs the coupler and lets the released cars slow down as she lets the rest of the train continue en-route.
Adam: [Surprised.] Blake?
As Adam was distracted Duncan then forcefully Kicks him in the head and knocks him into the flatcar face first as it left a dent in it and proceeded to knock him out as the train came to a halt and Duncan knowing he's going to be pretty mad runs away.
Then we see some White Fang coming in and securing the flatcar and noticed how their leader on the mission was now out cold and missing Blake.
Few Miles away
We see Blake by herself as she looks down on the road in confusion and shock and didn't know where to go she just kept on walking away thinking about what she had done. She saved those workers from Adam but now she has no idea on what she should do next until a certain familiar individual from the train caught up to her.
It was Duncan as he was leaning on the fence which Blake then seemed to have stopped and looked at him confused before she takes out her weapon and points it at him.
Blake: You again? Are you here to hurt me?
Duncan: No. I'm just a stranger saying thank you for helping out another stranger.
Duncan then bows his head in front of her as if shocked to hear that. She immediately then puts her weapon away and begins to walk away.
Blake: Don't mention it.
Duncan: I'm curious though? How did you get into the White Fang anyway?
Blake just stares at him and walks away as he follows closer behind her and walks even more quickly.
Duncan: Ok, mystery ninja lady my name is Duncan, Duncan Grimm yours?
Blake was curious on why his last name is Grimm seeing how the world is full of Grimm and this caused her to actually say her name.
Blake: Blake Belladonna.
Duncan: Belladonna? Like the poisonous flower?
Blake: Yes.
Duncan: Well, Blake Belladonna, I just want to say you did the right thing saving those people on the train.
Blake then stops and Duncan looks at her with a tilted head, Blake looks at him as she wants to know what he's doing talking to her.
Blake: Why are you here? Why are you talking to a white gang member like me?
Duncan: Listen, I'm not going to ask about your past unless you're willing to talk about it and right now you're not with them, not anymore. Besides if you were still with them you would've let the rest of the train blow up and follow your jackass boyfriend.
Blake: He's not my boyfriend.
Duncan: Really? Then he's a Jackass.
Blake: Those are horns on top his head. He's a Bull.
Duncan: Oh. I guess that makes sense. I thought those were donkey ears.
Blake then shakes her head and leaves before Duncan follows her again.
Duncan: Ok, sorry! I was just joking.
Blake: Please, stop following me.
Duncan: But you look like you need help.
Blake: I don't- [Sighs.] I don't know what I need. I thought that if I left the White Fang I would at least have an idea. I just don't know what I should do?
Duncan: Why not help people? You seem pleased enough to save them why not go to Beacon Academy? With your skills you could be a great Huntress and help Human and Faunus. In fact I've been accepted to go there.
Blake: I don't know.
Duncan: The way I see it you have two choices. Go into hiding and do nothing. Or actually do something and help Human and Faunus and achieve equality. The choice is yours.
Duncan then went ahead of Blake as she looks down at the ground in thought before looking back up to see he was gone and looks around to see where he went and couldn't find him.
Blake then thought about it some more and maybe needed a change, maybe she could help people both human and Faunus.
Vale, Beacon Academy
We see Beacon Academy as we see it lies along the east edge of the city of Vale and has a wide river that runs through part of it.
Beacon is situated just before an impressive cliff's edge that overlooks the city across the sound. At the top edge of the cliffside are several large, circular aerial docking bays, where airships and Bullheads can dock and allow their passengers to disembark. At the base of the cliffs, a docking bay is also available for water-going surface vessels, and a path from there leads upwards to the top of the cliff.
We then get a closer look at Beacon Tower as it is the most prominent part of the academy buildings is a large tower. The tower was surmounted by a number of green spheres or lights (possibly the beacon after which the academy was named), as well as an intricate clockwork mechanism consisting of many interlocking cogs and gears. Situated immediately below this was Ozpin's office, which sat high above the clouds and afforded an impressive view of the surrounding area.
Ozpin Office
We see Ozpin himself as he looks like a middle-aged man with tousled silver hair and thin brown eyes. He has a light complexion and sharp facial features. Interestingly, Ozpin has black eyebrows, suggesting that he may have had black hair when he was younger.
He wears shaded glass spectacles and a small, purple, cross-shaped pin on the cowl around his neck. His outfit mainly consists of an unzipped black suit over a dark green, buttoned vest and green shirt. He also wears black trouser shoes and long, dark-green pants. Next to where he is seated is a Cane, The Long Memory as he drinks his Hot Coco as it is monogramed with Beacon Academy emblem as it is two axes.
As he looks at four files as then a elevator opens and we see a Seventeen year old kid with Red hair and Red tinted glasses with a black trim and fedora and had black dress vest with red long sleeve shirt that had his sleeves up to his elbows and black pants and wing tip shoes and had a long red blade it was on his back that was holstered.
It didn't seem to bother him as he took a sip of his coffee mug and put it down and puts his hands together and under his chin.
Ozpin: Well... I see you've accepted my invitation...
Book Covers
We see four books as we see the Letters D,A,R,K and D was turned around and we see the title The Beast Within, and we see Duncan Grimm and Desmond Grimm as they show their Canine Teeth and smile as they had their backs towards each other and had Midnight Shadow and Wolfsbane in melee form in each hand as their book cover was black and so was the letter but there was a tint around the D and a few engraving was white as then we see a Wolf head howling at the moon on the back cover was white. As it closes and we see a D letter was put away leaving three other books out and we fade to black.
A/N: I don't want to add music themed stuff to the background as it will feel totally confusing to RWBY fans out there so for Future notes I will only add my Characters Music that fits the situation for a fight and we will leave the background music for RWBY fights if you can understand that. Just letting everyone know what I'm doing and in no way saying anything bad about RWBY and their Creators as it is their series and characters only my OC characters are mine.
