RWBY: Foresworn

Chapter VI: The Other Boot Has Dropped

Voldemort hissed. That insufferable, decrepit Old Man of Albus Dumbledore; had been present for the majority of his personally led raids. The only one that he wasn't present for was his raid on the Bones Family Mansion; where Amelia Bones had been killed. The Bitch of an Heiress, Susan Bones had managed to escape, not before accidentally killing Vincent Crabbe IV, the Crabbe in their year with a blasting hex that caught the boy square in the ribs.

Voldemort smirked, it seemed Salem's spell had worked. He'd managed to break the barrier momentarily between her own world and here. Voldemort was not so arrogant to believe that only one of these portals would work, he'd set up several across Magical Britain. No-one would be able to stop the creatures of Grimm everywhere.

Voldemort smirked; he didn't know what tricks Harry Potter had learnt; but he did know from Salem that the boy had become much more dangerous. Voldemort, knew he needed to cut his losses and with a killing curse as a distraction he erupted into a plume of smoke.

Everyone watched as the rift convulsed and out of both sides came two creatures, they resembled a Sabretooth Cat charged out. They didn't get far as a massive hammer effortlessly reduced the skull and head into a black mist, shortly accompanied by the body. As for the other, it split neatly in twain. "I fucking hate Sabyrs." Harry growled.

"When did you fight this? I thought they dwelled in Mantle."

"Mate, if you saw the white patches on the damn thing these ones belong to Solitas."

Neville groaned "Seriously, what did we do to deserve Solitas wrath?"

"Human stupidity, Human ignorance. Basically humanity. Thankfully Sabyrs haven't spread anywhere else."

"Harry, Neville…please, rule of stupid. Sabyrs? Grimm?" Dean asked.

Harry sighed "Creatures of Grimm, horrible monsters that prey on humanity. Grimm have a monstrous amount of sub-species of which Sabyrs are one. Unknown how many species of Grimm actually exist, they all desire to eat human flesh."

"Okay, what would you say are the most common types of Grimm?"

Harry furrowed his brow as the portal disgorged four lupine looking Grimm; all of which resembled Professor Lupins werewolf form. "These are Beowolves, they're all over the place. Young ones like this, will launch themselves at people; older ones are much smarter."

Much like the Sabyrs, these four Grimm were effortlessly dispatched by Harry and Neville. "Why do I have the feeling that this was conveniently set up so I can't go home."

"What makes you say that?" Questioned Seamus.

"This has appeared in the middle of Diagon Alley; I don't trust the Wizarding World or rather Wizarding Britain not to try and domesticate Grimm. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if you wanted to try and conquer the land where the Grimm come from."

"That's hardly fair, we're not that bad." Seamus commented.

"That's the low bar. Honestly, this place either loves me or hates me; wants me to fuck off so Tom Riddle leaves you alone or is on its hands and knees begging me to save you. So, don't forgive me if I don't think you can actually be logical and reasonable."

"You can help us right?" Dean asked.

"I could, Dean. I could indeed…"

Deans' eyes widened "But what's in it for you? I'm thinking."

Harry nodded "You're catching on quick."

"Harry, Neville…I want in. I don't know what you're doing these days but I want in."

"It'll be tough; you'll be training with breaks, strains and sprains; you'll be cursing Neville and I to whatever deity or entity you can name. But, should you pull through; you've seen the physical results."

Dean nodded "Too look that good and be able to hopefully stand with you, not behind you envying you; that'd be fucking ace."

Harry nodded "I won't waste my time on half-assers, what I'm giving you are the keys to your own potential."

Seamus nodded "Harry, Deans' folks were killed earlier on this Summer. Same with mine, we've nothing left."

Neville looked at the duo and nodded "Harry, go get the passes sorted out. Please, don't kill anyone but get our licences."

As Harry made his way over, Scrimgeour and a retinue of aurors consisting of Fudge's bootlickers and lickspittles met him halfway. "Potter, you seem to know what that thing is. How the fuck do we dismantle it?" Growled one of the bodyguards.

"Stick your cock in it and say A-Wop-Bop-A-Loo-Bop-A-Lop-Bam-Boom."

"Are you being serious?"

"Completely."

Scrimgeour raised an eyebrow "All of you are dismissed, I can deal with this."

"I want answers…"

Harry growled "I want to bend you over and run my sword right up your ass and murder you, Dawlish. I still don't forgive you for trying to kill my Head of House."

Dawlish stared "You're still…" He stopped as Harry casually pressed his blade to the mans throat.

"Still a spineless cunt who feels strong when ganging up on ones elders. Your no man, you're spineless, will less, witless, piece of shit; who if he doesn't clear off will become an armless, legless, skinless piece of flesh rolling down Diagon Alley like a turd in the wind."

Dawlish paled and tried to turn to the Minister "You're threatening an external contractor who's been doing a damn better job than most." Dawlish sighed, sounding more like a petulant child than a grown adult.

"I don't know a thing about rifts and portals. I don't know how to get rid of it, I do however know the things that are coming out of it. However, due to its appearance and my exceptionally low bar of faith, confidence and belief in the Wizarding World; I don't trust anyone near it…"

Scrimgeour nodded "I shall do my best."

Harry nodded, but inwardly knew that Scrimgeour was going to have to do something drastic in order to get the Wizarding World to listen. As they were having this discussion, Neville with Dean and Seamus's help had been managing to just about repel the incoming Grimm.

"You, get paid to kill these things?"

"Yup."

"You and Harry operate in Teams of Four, and Harry's acts as little more than 'monsters with sticks' and telling people where they can stick their bullshit."

"Yep."

"Harry, has a sister and a cousin. Both of whom are as dangerous as they are beautiful…one moves superfast and the other has an explosive temper."

Again Neville grunted in agreement "Harry, has in fact, mellowed and is dating a Rabbit Faunus; and a Faunus is someone who is essentially human but with a distinctive animal trait, and Harry was on a Team with Faunus. He also got a reputation for picking up any gauntlet that could resolve in punching a Faunus hater. He also dislikes the authorities to the extent he'll deliberately go against their orders, shrug and make up some bullshit excuse like 'I didn't get the memo' and 'My scroll broke'."

Neville nodded "I joined him in a lot of those excuses."

Dean and Seamus had just managed to throw an explosive hex down the throat of a Creeper causing it to explode violently. "Well, that's a new one…Physically forcing a Grimm to open its mouth."

"Neville…said something about…learning on the job."

Harry shook his head "I've been influencing him too damn much."

(Blake and Sun)

"Wow, my parents said they'd came from Menagerie. Never thought I'd actually make it here." Sun said amazed.

"The majority of the island is filled with things that make Faunus bottom of the Food chain; so we've had to adapt." Sun nodded, but he was entranced by the rapture and the splendour of Kuo Kuana.

"Is there a particular reason why you came here?"

"I came here, because I wanted to come home." With that she headed up the path to the largest and most visible building. Sun, followed, feelings of apprehension and a tightening of the gut.

(DANK)
Just behind them another boat moored up and four more figures piled off. "Oh, sweet land…I never thought I'd see you again." Kobi called.

"You might not wanna kiss there, or kneel there. This particular part of the dock, is host to some interesting mushrooms; mushrooms that are mostly pain relief but also happy fun times…The juice of the mushrooms is particularly absorbent through skin." Nanuuk announced getting the Explosive Teen to yelp and jump backwards.

"Welcome, Kobi…Welcome, to Kuo Kuana one of the largest if not the largest safe havens for Faunus. Come, we must pay our respects to the Chieftain." Adam rumbled.

"Won't he hate me because I'm a human?"

"Doubt it. Distrust you, most certainly but we'll vouch for you."

Adam looked through his visor and his eyes widened "Blake's here with that annoying Monkey Clone Dude."

Damania gulped "Wukong is here…We need to save the Belladonna's from him. DANK, with me and best behaviour." With that her coat fluttering in the breeze, she strode off. Nanuuk following behind her, easily mimicking her gait and stride with ease with Adam dragging Nanuuk with him.

"There are also White Fang members here. Both OG White Fang and the nutters causing the crimes."

"I thought…"

"Harry taught me this, never judge everything by the actions of a few."

"I heard Harry liked a fight."

"He does, he likes the good fight for the right reasons. The right reasons are the best reasons to him. To him, Faunus rights and true Faunus equality would endear him to Ghira; although, I think Ghira would like to throwdown with him." Adam retorted. "Ghira and Kali, they're the best. Most people here won't hear a bad word against them. I don't, they managed to help me, save me in fact."

"Does Adam have a crush on Blake?"

Adam fixed Kobi with a deadpan stare "She's like my sister."

(RNJRY)

They left the inn at first light, but not before having a very hearty breakfast and purchasing all the long-lasting food they could possibly need.

As they left they didn't see the man in a brown full-length leather dusty "Excuse me."

The Waitress turned "Yes? I'm sorry we're not officially open for business."

"I'm not here for your delightful beverages, I'm here because I'm on a quest for information." With that the man laid a picture on the table.

"I'm looking for this girl."

The Waitress nodded "I did see her, last night. She was in the inn just across the way." The man bowed, and left. He was so close! Her Grace would be so proud of him!

The game was a foot! He, Tyrian Callows, would be seen as more than Salem's mad dog! He'd be recognised as the best retriever and hunter of all the Dark Council!
