Beacons New Protector Chapter 1: The Failed Protector, a Dishonored + RWBY Crossover fanfic

Hello everyone, welcome to the first chapter to, "Beacons New Protector" with RWBY and Dishonored. With Dishonored 2 coming out soon, I couldn't help myself. This takes place in Season 2 of RWBY and the Totally Chaos ending Corvo, now without any further delay, let's start!

Speaking: "Outsider"

Thoughts: 'Outsider'

Powers: {OUTSIDER}

"I failed..."

That was all Corvo could say, over and over in his head. After everything, all the challenges, every objective, every KILL he had done...all for her...all for...

Emily Kaldwin, future Empress of the Empire of the Isles, and the daughter of Jessamine Kaldwin, the late Empress. Emily was just a child. A child that he swore on his life he would do anything for. Anything to keep her safe... and she had just died right before his eyes.

The BASTARD! Havelock just jumped off the catwalk with Emily in his arm, both falling from the lighthouse, hitting the ground and dying. Damn him! Damn him to hell!

He fell to his knees at the edge of the catwalk, taking his mask off and feeling the tears roll down his cheeks. He failed. He had just let Emily die right in front of him.

So many emotions were running wild within him. Anger, sadness, but the strongest was guilt. His mind wandered to Jessamine, oh Jessamine. She had also died right in front of him, killed by Daud and his group of assassins. He had fought against them with all he had, but their dark magic was too strong. There he was, held right there in the air as they killed Jessamine and took Emily.

He remembers holding Jessamine as the life left her body, her blood covering his clothes. The person he had been protecting since she was twelve was dying in his hands. With her last breath, she told him one thing: "Save Emily". Save her one and only daughter, keep her safe.

With this new drive, he promised her and himself that no matter what it took, no matter how much blood had to be spilled, he was going to save her! But...at the same time...maybe that was his undoing.

Since his escape from prison, he killed everything in his path until he got Emily back. It didn't matter who had to die, not thinking about how each kill slowly pushed this dying city over the edge. Death was everywhere and with the plague raising chaos, it wasn't long until crime rose.

He did this. He did all of this with his blood lust, killing anyone who had a hand in the death of the Empress. No one was spared.

To make this journey even more chaotic, he met the being that made itself out as a god living outside of reality itself, watching everything from the void. The Outsider.

He came to him in his dream after his escape from prison and gave him his mark, with it came the power of dark magic. He was able to do the impossible, breaking into places that no man could. He had many powers, collecting runes that only made them stronger.

Even with these powers...he couldn't save her...

What is he going to do now with Emily gone? There was no one to be Empress, there was the plague infecting everyone. None of the lower class had a chance of surviving, the nobles keeping them within the quarantined areas.

The nobles will destroy themselves by trying to gain power. With no ruler they will go on to lie, cheat and backstab each other until there is nothing left.

This country was going to die and he had put the final nail in the coffin, destroying itself from the inside. No one was coming to help, not with the plague around. They would wall the whole country off to stop the sickness from spreading.

This was it.

Sure, he could escape, but he didn't have the drive to do anything anymore...

He looked down off the catwalk. The same fall that claimed Emily. He couldn't see the bottom, he was sure no one could survive the fall, no one...

He didn't know how long he just sat there, staring down what looked to be an abyss. Maybe it was time for him to be done, he tried the best he could, never backing down from any missions. No matter how difficult it was, he had completed the assignment without failure. Maybe it was time to stop.

Standing up, he walked closer to the edge. He had no family. No friends or allies, nothing to look forward to. He was...a failure.

The Failed Protector...

So he stepped off.

The rushing wind was all he could hear as he fell down. He thought he would have some trace of fear, but he felt nothing, but the cold wind.

His only focus was the rapidly approaching ground. He accepted it, watching the ground and waiting for his death to happen.

Closer...

The ground was approaching, this was it! He slowly closed his eyes and awaited for what was to happen next.

...

...?

Was this death? He felt no pain. He opened his eyes to see he was five feet above ground, but he wasn't moving. The world around him had turned gray as time itself came to a stop.

"You surprise me, Corvo." An echoing voice said, "I didn't think you were going to do this of all things."

In a flash of light, there stood a normal looking man with pale skin and black hair. He wore a brown jacket and blue jeans, a completely average looking man. All should know better than to fall for this, for this was someone who could be considered a god. This was the Outsider. He walked forward to Corvo, who was upside down in the air

"Outsider." Was all Corvo could say. This was strange, as far as he knew, the Outsider didn't show himself in this plain of existence, reserving his interference for key moments that could change history.

"I have to say, Corvo, it has been interesting to watch these events unfold. You killed your way through enemies and what used to be your allies akin to a blade of vengeance." The Outsider looked to the side Corvo followed his eyes.

Corvo's eyes shot open in shock at the bloody, mangled bodies of Havelock and...he turned his head away. He'd didn't want to see what had happened to Emily.

Outsider continued to talk, "But, young Emily has met a tragic end. Now, with no Empress, this land will die." He said with an empty voice. He looked back at Corvo, "All caused by you, Corvo. One man brought it all down."

Tired of hearing this, Corvo spoke out. "What do you want Outsider? Why do you show up now?" Corvo didn't want to hear this man talk, he already knew he had failed.

The Outsider didn't look surprised about the outburst, "Corvo, did you know there are only eight people with my mark? Eight people free to do what they want with its power?" His voice echoed.

"And what you did with it has been most enjoyable, but, this ending is a bit unsatisfying. It would be a waste if you were to die right here."

"My life is not something for you to toy with, Outsider." Corvo said a bit angered, "What does it matter how my life ends?!"

"Oh but it does matter Corvo. Give me a chance to do something I rarely choose to do." The Outsider leads on.

"What's that?" Corvo said, a small trace of venom in his voice.

"Something different. I'm going to intervene, Corvo. I am asking you a once in a lifetime deal. A chance for a different start."

"...What?"

"Corvo, there's only so much I can tell, but there's more to the void than you'll ever know. The void is the outside of reality itself, but who's to say this is the only reality."

Corvo stayed quiet, letting the information sink in. He tried to think, but it was hard to think when just a few moments ago, his life was about to end. After a long pause, he finally spoke.

"You...want to send me somewhere else?"

Outside spoke up "Ah, you're starting to catch on now."

"Why? Why would you want to do that?! What would you gain from this?!" Corvo tried to move, use his power, anything, but he couldn't. He was completely in the Outsiders control.

"Entertainment. Besides, what would young Emily say if she saw what you just tried to do?" The Outsider said with a smile. Being a higher being made you miss some social queues, but manipulation was not one of them.

That was a low blow, but it made him think about this offer, "Where would I go?"

"Somewhere out of my knowledge, Corvo, that's what makes this interesting." The Outsider began to grow bored, "My patience is growing thin Corvo, make your choice now."

He didn't know what to do. Maybe...maybe he needed to leave, get as far away as possible. It was a selfish thought, but there was nothing for him here now.

Corvo looked right into the black orbs of the Outsider, not knowing what could happen. Then he thought, 'Did it truly matter?'

"I'll go."

"Excellent choice, Corvo."

With a snap of his fingers, a hole opened below Corvo's still frozen body, "I won't be able to intervene much in this world, but I am watching. Do try to not to kill yourself this time."

With another snap, Corvo began moving once again. He began to go through the portal. The last thing he could hear was the Outsiders distorted voice, "Farewell, for now, Corvo."

Corvo was falling through what must have been the void. He couldn't understand what he saw while falling. Random objects floated around, some of what he saw was familiar, broken buildings and such, but other things were past his understanding.

He continued to fall past the objects until there was nothing around him. He was surrounded by absolute darkness, not able to feel anything. He wasn't even sure he was still falling, his sense of time feeling distorted. That was until he finally saw a light rapidly approaching.

A sudden, crushing force hit him as he got closer to the light, his ears started to ring and he felt the worst headache of his life. His body shook violently, so many different things were happening, it got to the point he couldn't hear his own shouts of pain!

He blacked out due to the stress of the whole ordeal but continued to fall. Falling closer and closer, falling into the light.

**Scene Change**-

[Beacon Academy, Headmasters office]

Both Ozpin and Goodwitch were both discussing the recent food fight that team RWBY and JNPR partook in.

"You're being too soft Ozpin." Goodwitch argued, "They need discipline, how else are they going to learn?!"

"They're still growing, let them enjoy themselves." Ozpin waved her tone off as he took a sip of his coffee, "They'll be ready when the day comes for them to become true hunters and huntresses."

Goodwitch signs, "We could use someone to help watch them, we're understaffed."

"It's a little too late for that, but you are correct. We could use another pair of hands." He took a moment to think, "Something to look into."

"I have more paperwork to complete, so we'll have to speak more on the subject later." Glynda said as she left his office.

Ozpin thought about what Glynda said about getting another staff member. Where would he even look? Retired huntsman? Possibly even start a prisoner rehabilitation program? He took another sip coffee

"Another day." He said, simply. Glynda wasn't the only one with paperwork.

**With Corvo**

Corvo was passed out in the middle of what seemed to be a forest. He began to stir, grunting as he started to move. His whole body felt sore, even opening his eyes took a bit of effort. He took a look around, seeing his new environment, taking everything in.

In a flash, he remembers falling into a light and all the pain that followed...he didn't ever want to feel that again. There was a slight bit of discomfort as he tried to stand, but he ultimately ignored it. He had to find out more about where he was.

Looking around his surroundings, he noticed he was in a small clearing, a little too quiet for his liking, but he couldn't complain. Taking a look up in the sky, he saw the sun in the middle of the air, so if he had to guess, it was mid afternoon. At least he was getting somewhere.

Corvo needed to check his person before he continued anywhere, unaware of any dangers in this world. He pulled out his trusty sword, the blade popping out of the hilt cleanly, showing it to be working fine.

Corvo continued to go through his equipment. He had his gun, crossbow, and a few gadgets. Nine grenades, some mines, nine spring razors, some explosive rounds for his gun and sleep darts for the crossbow. Good. Armed to the teeth.

Opening his coat, he saw he still had six bone charms. The little things gave small effects that made a hell of a difference, making him faster, stronger and several effects on his power. Corvo finished checking over himself, everything seemed in order. It was time to move.

He started walking through the forest. It was...peaceful, but he needed higher ground to truly tell. Looking to a high branch on a tall tree Corvo used his {BLINK} to teleport.

"Good, that still works." Corvo walked to the sturdiest part near the edge of the branch. He took a look around, mostly forest, what looked to be buildings off in the distance.

He put his mask back on, feeling almost...complete. He zoomed in on the shape and saw what looked to be a city. He wasn't too sure, but it was better than nothing. It was a ways away, he'd need to start moving now to get there before nightfall.

Corvo blinked back on the ground and kept his sword in his hand. It was better safe than sorry, who knows what this new world has in store for him.
