Hey its your beautiful author with a new fanfic! I came up with this while watching Monty Python. Hope you enjoy.
Chapter 1: Killer Heart
Gripping my chest in pain from the hit I noticed something, I was in more pain than I should have been. Ignoring the pain in my ankle I tried to inhale air unsuccessfully. I had difficulty breathing as I felt my heart pound away painfully in my chest. So painfully in fact that I fell onto the ground and gripped at my chest. 'What… what's wrong with me?' I questioned as I fell to the floor of the now silent arena.
*5 Minutes Beforehand*
Lights were flashing as the whole arena was silent as they waited for the announcer to begin the match. Two girls stood opposite of each other in a karate uniform, one with long inky black hair that was tied up into a ponytail. On the opposite side of the black haired girl stood a girl with short brown hair with a taunting smile showing across her face as she glared at the black haired girl.
"Alright! Ladies and Gentleman! Today is going to be the final match of the Diamond Nationals! It has been a long day so far for the two girls onstage, but it has all led up to this point! On the left hand side of the stage we have Samantha Opine!" As the announcer said that the girl with long black hair straightened her back and waved to the crowd.
"And on the right hand side of the stage we have Elise Drasil! Everyone give these two a cheer as this will be the final fight of the competition!" The announcer shouted with great vigor, invigorating the crowd to replicate his act as well. The announcer then took a breath and looked down at the crowd.
"I would normally talk about the two competitors but I think we know these two girls well enough! Last year Samantha Opine made it to 2nd place while her rival Elise Drasil made it in 3rd place. These two have been going at it since then and have finally made it up to the finals fighting for 1st place!"
Elise began to frown after hearing the word rival causing her glare directed at Samantha to intensify. Samantha seemed to be completely oblivious to this as she was in a world all to herself while she readied herself to the fight.
"Anyways! We have been talking long enough, let us begin this fight!" The announcer yelled to the crowd as a referee walked onto the stage and stood in between the two girls.
The referee pulled his hand out and said "I want a nice clean fight! Whoever is thrown out of the arena boundaries or is unable to fight will lose!"
Time seemed to stop as both girls readied themselves for the oncoming onslaught. Samantha readied herself in a basic karate stance while Elise replicated her.
The referee, seeing that both of the fighters were ready, counted down.
"Three!" The two girls glared at each other as their bodies tensed up.
"Two!" Samantha curiously stared at Elise who reached into her sleeve and grabbed something and placed it into the palm of her hand..
"One!" Elise smirked evilly at Samantha as she tensed her muscles.
"Begin!" The referee, not noticing that Elise had hidden something in her hand, began the match. Almost instantly Elise charged in like a wild animal to hit Samantha.
'What the? What the hell is Elise doing?' Samantha questioned as this was nothing like Elise's normal fighting style. Elise would almost always play it cautiously and take advantage of counterattacking.
Samantha, ignoring the useless thoughts, raised her fists to block the punch only to feel that Elise's fist had more weight than normal. "Gah!" Grunting out in pain as she felt a punch hit her arm.
Flinching in pain she didn't see a punch heading straight for her face until the last second. 'Shit!' Samantha thought as she tried to dodge only to get decked painfully.
Nearly falling over from the weight of the punch Samantha stood up again to block a punch. 'Gotcha!' Samantha thought as she aggressively began her counterattack on Elise. Exchanging punches and kicks Samantha slowly made ground on Elise after an especially devastating front kick.
Not willing to give away a free opening Samantha began throwing kicks and punches like a hailstorm. Slowly she began to push Elise back to the edge of the arena. 'Now eat this!' Samantha smiled in her head as she did a roundhouse kick only for her to feel pain in her ankle from a kick from Elise.
Gripping her leg Samantha felt as if she broke it. 'She can't do that! Why is the ref not doing anything?' Samantha questioned as she looked at the referee only to regret her actions as a punch landed square in her chest.
"I have you now Sam! This is what you get for always taking up my spotlight!" Elise quietly shouted as she continued her onslaught onto the now perfectly open Samantha.
"This is what happens when you take my honor!" Elise whispered harshly as she through an aggressive punch into Samantha's face. Samantha taking the hit nearly fell over only to catch herself and deliver a back kick into Elise's gut. Elise not expecting the hit grunted in pain and glared harder at Samantha. Elise seemingly having enough of this gripped whatever was in her hand tighter and readied a punch.
Samantha trying to not lose grit her teeth and stood up. 'I can't let Elise get away with this! She is obviously cheating!' Samantha thought as she readied her fist and threw it at Elise who stepped towards her.
"And finally, this is what you get for being in my way." Elise said as she dodged the punch aimed at her face. After dodging Elise then launched her readied fist directly at Samantha's chest leading to a sickening crack to echo around the arena.
Slowly, Samantha gripped her chest in pain and fell to the ground as a now happy Elise raised her fist in victory. The crowd shouted in glee despite seeing Samantha fall to the ground.
"Stop the fight!" The referee instantly stopped the fight after hearing the cracking noise that came from the now downed Samantha. Running up to Samantha he tried to check if she was okay. "Ay kid, you okay? Can you stand?"
Samantha tried to respond only to give a gasp as she gripped her test tighter. The referee knowing what was wrong immediately tapped a radio on his side and shouted "I need a medic now! She is going into Cardiac Arrest!"
After hearing that the arena seemingly quieted down and stared on in shock at the young girl now going into Cardiac Arrest. Some people shouted in worry as 3 medics ran onto the stage. But most surprisingly of all was Elise who was bewildered and looked at the now downed Samantha.
"Wait! I didn't mean it! Is she going to be okay?" Elise ran up to the downed Samantha in worry as two medics put her on a bed and began to move her out of the arena.
"Step back! We need to get her to the defib, lets go!" One of the medics yelled as they moved Samantha out of the room. All the medics quickly moved Samantha out of the room despite the protests from Elise and quickly tried to make it to the medical bay.
*Samantha POV*
After trying to punch Elise I felt an extreme pain in my chest as I felt something crack. "Gyah!" Coughing out in pain I gripped my chest which was rapidly beating. Gripping my chest to try and ease the increasing pain I fell to the ground. Breathing in and out with difficulty, I tried moving my attention to the now shouting referee who was tapping me on the shoulder.
"Ay kid, you okay? Can you stand?" The referee asked me as I had tears forming in my eyes. Weakly I tried to say no only to gasp as I felt the pain in my chest worsen. The referee seemed to take my response as a no and shouted something that I had difficulty making out. Focusing on the pain I could feel my heart beat irregularly.
'Am I having a heart... attack?' I thought with difficulty as the pain just seemed to almost paralyze me. Suddenly I felt my body moving so I opened my eyes. Despite my vision being blurry I could make out three men in blue outfits trying to transport me out of the arena as a teary faced Elise tried talking to them.
Unable to understand anything they were saying I focused back onto my thoughts of dying. 'Shit... I am actually dying? How? Why?' I thought as I felt my mind drift back to past memories.
Memories of me coming from a well endowed martial arts family. My family was a very strict family that had difficulty showing love for me, but despite that all I still loved them with all my heart. I saw memories of my childhood with my family and older sister, memories of me going through school, and even some memories of me crushing on someone.
While going back to my memories I felt a shocking sensation which almost seemed muted. 'What was that?' I questioned myself before going back to viewing my memories. Ignoring the shocking sensations I went back to remembering things I did in my free time. Due to me enjoying martial arts I began to look at anime's to get some inspiration for new moves.
I even based a few of my moves off of famous attacks from anime characters. Passing past these memories I began to remember the rest of my life up until the tournament. Memories of being with my family, memories of being in school, my latest birthday of turning 17, and finally the tournament. I was inspired to win after seeing Elise's determination but ignored the obvious signs that she would do anything to win.
My mind seemed to be murky as my thoughts and memories became harder to form. 'Guess... this... is it... for me.' I thought for probably the last time after viewing a happy memory of me with my family watching the Killer Rabbit scene in the Monty Python movie.
'Please... just give me... one more... chan-'
And with those last thoughts I embraced the coldness that my body felt and let my mind drift to sleep only for something weird to happen. Instead of being dead I began to go in and out of sleep. Unable to form thoughts I just let myself wake up and go back to sleep. Time slowly passed as I drifted in and out of sleep. I was unable to form thoughts until one day I began to feel.
I would occasionally feel something when I was awake. Sometimes I felt warmth, other times I felt squeezed, and finally I felt cold again until I finally woke up to a loud cry and grunt.
'Wha-What is happening?' My thoughts, with difficulty, sped back up to a pace where I could barely think rationally.
"Congratulations Miss Scarlatina but I have some bad news..." A voice sounded out so loudly that I began to cry. 'Its so loud!' was all I could think after hearing the strange Australian accented voice. Trying my best I began to filter the voices instinctually to an acceptable noise level.
A gasp echoed out around the small room from what I would guess would be my mother. "Oh no, is she alright?! What's wrong?!" Despite whatever tiring endeavor she just went through a very nervous voice of a mother asked for answers.
"Please, relax. There is nothing... well wrong health wise. It is just that what is wrong with your daughter is extremely rare." The doctor trailed off only to be stopped by my mother.
"Just, tell me! Please I must know what's wrong with my baby." My new mother asked with a hidden force that made itself known in her voice as she gripped the doctors hand.
The doctor coughed lightly and apologized. "Sorry, but your baby seems to have Albinism and Acute Faunus Disorder, or in simpler terms she has more than one Faunus trait."
My mother gasped and began to lightly cry which caused her to shake me. "She has... Acute Faunus Disorder?" listening in I questioned what a 'Faunus' was in my head as the doctor answered my new mothers question.
"Yes she is probably the most unique Faunus or person in Remnant right now. A 1/20,000 chance of having Albinism and a 1/300,000 for having Acute Faunus Disorder. Most Faunus only have one trait that they receive at birth, but with this disorder your daughter can develop and receive most traits from her given animal, that being a rabbit."
My mother seemed to cry more as I began to ignore this and finally remembered what a Faunus was. 'Wait... A Faunus is from RWBY? So I really got a second chance... But having more than 1 trait seems dangerous.' I thought as I remembered how racially oppressed the Faunus were.
"Please Meg calm down, from what I can see it only seems that she developed a tail and ears. More extensive tests when she is older will have to be done to see if she retained other traits, but at the end of the day she is fine. With some help from medicine for her Albinism she will be just fine."
My mother calmed down after hearing this and wiped her tears while holding me. Sniffling a few times she finally stopped crying and cradled me. "You are right Dr. Bisman, I overreacted. I was just simply afraid of how my husband will react to this. But now I think it is time for the most important part of this whole ordeal."
Hearing those words I regained my limited focus and listened to what my mother was going to say. "Your name will be Akari Scarlatina. Akari means Light and weightlessness. Because of your hair color and that you will now help light the way into the future I have chosen this name for you." My mother grinned happily after naming me.
"A wonderful name, I will get that recorded down and send it in today. Would you like for me to call in Will Scarlatina and your other daughter now?" The good doctor asked my mother as I was still contemplating my new name.
'So wait, I'm a Scarlatina? Like with Velvet Scarlatina from RWBY? Besides that she said my name is Akari? It seems to fit just right, I like this name.' I felt happy about the name and giggled aloud only to hear my mother coo in response.
"Yes, please call him in now." My mother simply responded to the Doctor and began to play with something on my head. 'What the?' I questioned as I felt her hand stroke something on top of my head which was very sensitive.
Giggling once more I began to enjoy the attention my new mother was giving me only to hear the door open. "Honey, it is great to see... Whats wrong with the baby?"
My mother stopped playing with me after that and harshly whispered "We will talk later! Anyways her name is now Akari Scarlatina, after all you got to name Velvet." My mother harshly responded.
My new father Will Scarlatina seemed to grumble something and reluctantly gave me a little pat on the head. "She is beautiful honey. Here lets get Velvet to see her new baby sister." Will said to my mother as I tried to open my eyes to see my new sister.
With my eyes barely open I began to make out different shapes of the people in the room. One being a tall brown haired man who looked rather well built. Looking away from him I looked up and saw a beautiful brown haired woman with long rabbit ears adorning her head. 'Woahhh beautiful.' I got entranced at her looks until suddenly I felt the bed dip slightly.
Looking at what caused this I saw my new father leaning on the bed with a second kid in his arms. This kid had brown rabbit ears and what seemed to be brown hair. She was happily cooing and making baby noises until she saw me and reached for me. My mother took this action as us wanting to be together so she grabbed the second baby from my dad and held both Velvet and I in her arms.
"Heya little Velvet, this right here is going to be your new sister." My mother happily said as she rocked both Velvet and I in her arms.
Taking one more glance at the rabbit girl that was looking curiously at me I began to feel sleepy.
'This... this is... nice.' I thought as I finally went to sleep due to the rocking from my new mothers arms.
And that was the chapter. Hope you all enjoyed this new story that I came up with randomly. Honestly I was watching Monty Python and saw the Killer Rabbit scene and thought about how cool it would be to see a character in RWBY based off of that. Things came together and finally formed into this. Favorite this or leave a comment if you want. I also wanted to note in this that I am not dropping my other Fanfics, I just get sidetracked easily and the such. Anyways hope you all liked this idea, I know I certainly did. Can't wait to show how this character evolves.
Who else knew that Velvet Scarlatinas family was actually named? Meg and Will Scarlatina. I certainly didn't know before I researched it.
