So as of right now Cerberuse's Light is on hold because nobody is really reading it and I don't want to expend time into something where only one person will read it. This is not a full fledged series and is a background that will tie into my future story The Avatars. This is based off the idea of the story A Lone Wolf's Howl by Deteriorated. I asked him if I could use the idea and he was all for it. This will be only a couple chapters long and I am reinventing Blade Wolf. You'll see my friends. The black trailer from Rwby takes place a couple years before the show starts. You'll understand.

"I've got my own war to fight." The communication with Raiden cut out and Wolf couldn't help but worry for his friend. A few months after the death of Armstrong, Raiden had just taken off to complete his own missions. Wolf wasn't allowed to accompany him as Raiden said it was for him to do alone. Wolf didn't argue and had just been living with Sunny.

Despite the great home and the environment Wolf was built to kill and stop wars. The last part was instilled into him by Doktor. With Raiden he could do both of those and it kept people safe, which he had found large amounts of joy in doing. Thanks to Sunny and her mechanical prowess she had rewired Wolf like no other AI before and now he had feelings. They were confusing to him and he was often running in circles with them so he supressed most of them but found that joy and sadness were ones he knew fairly well.

Listening to how Raiden sounded made him feel sadness. He needed something to do so he decided to go back to Maverick for work. Doktor enhanced him and even built him a HF chainsaw like the one he had when he fought Raiden. He didn't remember much about his previous life with Desperado but for some reason he always had files in the back of his storage. They were locked down tight and nobody could get through them which had bothered Wolf. They couldn't be deleted either which explains how they remained even after he would have his memory wiped.

It was four digits but if he messed up then the system would reset and he would be locked out. For now he would just enjoy his work with Maverick. In the meantime he would still try to break the code. He had no idea what was present in the files but he was very curious and wanted to figure them out. The main problem was that they were so heavily imbeded inside him that even if he hooked up to a computer the files could not be accessed. In fact from the computers view point, there were no hidden files that were present.

Only Wolf could access them but when the system reset and locked him out it reset his memory of the numbers he used. He tried writing them down but wasn't very good at it and realized there were thousands of choices and that he had only three chances before being locked out for a week. It made him feel anger and he wanted to rip the memories open and look at them. He knew he wasn't made by Desperado even though his oldest memories were with them. He was much more advanced than anything they could have ever created. He knew he wasn't a proto-type like he told Raiden but he was told by Desperado that he was so he went with it.

He recieved his first mission from Maverick to stop terrorists from launching a nuke at a neighboring country and he felt a little happy to finally be out in the field again. He knew these missions would be a very good means for him to live. To have a purpose was something that living people longed for, and despite his metal outside, underneath he felt very much alive.

Three Years Later.

Wolf sat in the office where Sunny sat working on the blue prints for a new type of ship she had been wanting to create. Wolf was 'sleeping' silently when she slammed her hands on the table causing him to raise his head in surprise.

"Is something wrong, Sunny?" She looked over at him and felt guilty for having woken him up.

"Ya, just this ship doesn't want to play nicely. Sorry to wake you." Wolf just nodded that he didn't care and lowered his head. There was the beeping from his communicator that caused them both to jump a little. The holoscreen appeared in front of Wolf to show Borris smiling at him.

"Hello Wolf, we need you for a mission. Can you come down?" Wolf nodded his head and replied in his usual bland, robotic tone.

"I'll be right there." He shut down the screen and stood while stretching his legs. Sunny stood and kneeled next to him.

"Be careful out there ok?" Wolf nuzzled into the girls arms as she hugged him close. She loved the cybernetic wolf with all her heart and he cared for the girl as well. She always was waiting for him when he returned from his missions to make sure he was ok. She brightened his day and he had grown to love her for that. She was like a close friend who just so happned to know how to slice you open and fix you if you got shot.

"I'll be fine. Keep working on your ship for me." He broke free from her embrace and gave her a metalic lick which caused her to laugh. He started to walk away when she waved at him.

"Go get 'em tiger." He turned back to her and turned his head sideways.

"I'm supposed to be modeled after a wolf. Not a tiger." Sunny scoffed and waved him off.

"Expression Wolf." He nodded his understanding and left. He didn't quiet understand all the social terms yet. Sarcasm was fairly difficult from time to time for him. He was learning, however. He just made his way down to the briefing zone and found the others waiting for him. They nodded at him and gave their usual greetings while he sat in his usual spot in the corner behind the projector.

"What's the mission?" The projector put images over the screen showing crime scenes where there were large destroyed buildings and strange burn marks from fire scattered around the area.

"Lots of towns in northern Russia have been attacked recently with these strange burn marks and slashes from some type of weapon that we believe to belong to a large sword of sort. The only survivor we have gotten a hold of said the person wore white and had a mask with red lines. The strangest part was when he said the attacker had lion ears and fought like a cyborg despite having no enhancments to boot. We believe this to be a very dangerous cyborg, despite what he said, that has just gone rogue and has started to attack people. We want you to go in and take him out. Should be pretty simple."

Wolf studied the pictures and his interest started to peak. Especially at hearing the part about the man having lion ears. Maybe it was part of his costume. Wolf nodded and went to the hanger to gear up. He reached his weapons and if he could he would be smiling. He opened up his back and used his tail to place the shortened chainsaw into the compartment. The chainsaw could shorten down for easier storage while being hidden and not getting caught on anything.

He grabbed his throwing knifes and loaded them onto his legs and checked his systems. When he was pleased that he was ready he had Doktor look him over one last time before loading onto the helicopter. The ride was a couple hours long and took him to an isolated spot in the Russian wilderness. This was due to the fact that seeing a military vehical near a town dropping off a strange robotic Wolf would cause problems. It was snowing when he arrived but it was peaceful and slow. Like a dream but it was real. The helicopter hovered about twenty feet above the ground so Wolf just hopped out and plopped to the ground with no sound.

He quickly scanned the area and connected himself to the Maverick sattelite and got a reading from the others.

"Glad to see you made it ok, Wolf. That storm hasn't hit yet so that's always a bonus." Kevin was always trying to be optomistic about everything which Wolf enjoyed about him.

"The man was last seen at a small town just north of you position, we believe him to be heading south while destroying any town he comes across. Marking the next location now." Wolf's marker appeared on his HUD and he thanked Kevin before taking off towards the town. It was about twenty miles away from his current location but he could run at thirty miles an hour so he would be able to reach it in an hour. Two if he found delays.

When Wolf reached the town he mentally cursed himself. It was already destroyed. The fires were fresh however which led Wolf to believe that the man was still near. He entered and saw dead all around. He went to a strange burn mark and found a small pile of red dust on the ground. He collected some for analysis for the Doktor when he returned. He started to search the town for survivors but found none. He reached the southern end and saw shoe prints in the snow that were heading south. Wolf lowered his head and brought his comms up.

"The town has been destroyed." The others all got saddened faces, "But I believe I have found his trail and am going to investigate." They nodded and Wolf clicked the comms off and took off. He ran for only a few minutes when he got the feeling something was wrong. He slowed down and changed to thermal vision. He saw nothing but looked up and quickly moved to the side. A man came crashing down from the trees and almost impaled Wolf with his sword. Wolf turned his thermal vision off and looked at the man.

Pale white with white clothing and a mask. The lion ears were very much present and when they twitched Wolf realized that they were real. The man gasped when he got a closer look at Wolf.

"Lq-84i?" Wolf shuddered. He had not been called that in a long time. The better question was how did this man know who he was?

"Who are you?" Wolf spoke darkly. He sent back a live video and opened the comms to the others who were perplexed.

"Those ears are real?" Sounded like Doktor but Wolf wasn't sure. The man walked forward only for Wolf to get into a ready stance causing the man to step back.

"Don't you remember me? I was one of the men who worked on you. It's me...Risten." Wolf didn't know this man and didn't drop his guard. He noticed an insignia on his chest that was a red wolf with three slashes through it.

"You worked for Desperado then?" The man seemed very confused by this and shook his head.

"No...the Atlas Defense Corps. You really don't remember me?" Wolf shook his head. He made a quick scan of this Atlas Defense Corps and found nothing. The man just stared at Wolf silently.

"What happened to you. You're decked out now." Wolf didn't lower or falter. He just kept eye contact.

"I can find no evidence of what you are saying. My mission is to exterminate you." Risten was surprised and back up while holding his great sword in both hands. Along the handel was the same red dust from earlier.

"Why?"

"You killed all those people. You must be destroyed as you have been deemed too dangerous." Wolf drew his chainsaw and held in above his head. He extended it which gave off a loud click. Risten got a frown on his face and just sighed.

"It was for the good of the Faunus. Those human beasts deserved what they got." Did Wolf hear him right. That he wasn't human? That may explain the lion ears.

"I don't want to fight you. But if I must, then I will." Wolf reved up his chainsaw and waited. The man charge and swung at Wolf's legs with lots of speed despite not having any obvious cybernetic enhancements. Wolf jumped over and delivered a quick slash to his back which just bounced cleanly over. Wolf didn't understand and quickly scanned him and found some form of shield over him. Doktor came in over the comms quickly.

"Wolf, he has some form of shield cloaking him. When you hit him it weakened. Just keep repeatedly striking him until it breaks." Wolf grunted his understanding and rushed him. Risten's sword was engulfed in a fire which surprised Wolf and when he stabbed it into the ground it sent fire eerywhere and launched Wolf away and into a tree. Wolf quickly got back up and faced him.

"Massive energy spikes are radiating from his sword. You need to dissarm him right now." He heard Borris tell him over the comms. Wolf rushed forward but jumped up and slashed his arm wielding the sword. The man dropped it and faced Wolf. Wolf landed and jumped back at him quickly only to be stopped by air. The man threw his hands to the side and slammed Wolf into the trees. Wolf didn't suffer any heavy damage but knew he would need to change his strategy.

"Did...did he just use the wind to throw Wolf!?" Wolf got up and shook himself off and saw that Risten had his sword again. Wolf started to rush him when he whipped to the side and threw knifes at him, which hit but were stopped by the shield. He flinched so he could feel them but his body was safe from harm. Wolf started to run in circles around him quickly and started to throw multiple knifes at him. He blocked most of them but a couple got through. Wolf threw his last knife and mentally cursed himself.

"His shield is almost down and he's tired. Finish it!" Wolf jumped up and started to do rapid front flips and came flying down and into the man who claimed to be one of his creators. He blocked with his sword at first but Wolf twist and launched it away and sliced one of his arms off. He had broken the shield and got ready for the killing blow. He put his chainsaw away and launched his tail at his chest only for it to be stopped by the wind. The man was struggling but smiled at Wolf.

"Security...overide code...8391...good to see...you again." Wolf almost let up but kept pushing. The force keeping him back stopped and his tail entered his chest and pierced his heart and killed him. The man gave him a smile and coughed up blood. He went limp and Wolf pulled out his tail. He whipped it to get the blood removed from it and was confused. Did he just give me the code I have been looking for? Was all he could think. He did say that he built Wolf and if that was true then he would know the overide access code. Wolf was sceptical but knew he had nothing to lose.

He returned back home and waited for nightfall. He lay asleep at the foot of Sunny's bed and accessed his files. When asked for the securiy code Wolf slowly entered the numbers. He paused and then hit enter. It started loading and then opened. Wolf couldn't belive what had happened. He quickly looked at the files and saw that most of them were corrupted. The few that weren't were videos. He picked the first one and saw it was from seven years prior.

It was his point of view and showed him waking up. There were three men in white lab coats around him. He recongnized the man he killed earlier as one of them and felt remorse for killing him. He had been telling the truth. One of the men walked forward and smiled. He held up three fingers.

"How many fingers am I holding up?" Wolf heard his voice in the recording answer, "Three." The scientists smiled and gave each other high fives. He heard a door open and turned to see a man with a military outfit with lots of medals walk in. He had black hair with graying sides.

"Is it working?" Risten looked upset.

"He...and yes, he's working." The military man walked up to Wolf and gave him a look of confusion.

"Can it move?"

"He just woke up General Ironwood." Risten practically spat at him. This Ironwood fellow didn't seem to care and just nodded.

"Weaponize it and get it ready for a departure." The three scientists looked worried.

"You...you can't be serious!?" Ironwood turned to them and frowned.

"I am." One of the scientists chuckled uneasily.

"He just got built. He has to train and learn. Not just get thrown into the field." Ironwood chuckled.

"We're not throwing it into a battlefield. We're going to assign it to the Schnee Dust company so they can get some extra man power...er machine power. The White Fang have been robbing their shipments and asked for some mechs to help them. Not get it ready." He left no more room for discussion and left. The video ended.

Wolf was in disbelief. He clicked on the next video and saw he was in a box. There was a sound and the top opened and Wolf popped his head out and looked around. The people around him backed up in fear at the sight of him.

"Ah...you're here." The camera turned to a man with white hair and a suit. He had a girl behind him who was looking at Wolf in fascination. She too had white hair and pale skin.

"What is it daddy?"

"That is Lq-84i. It's going to help daddy at work. Now then, how was the trip?" Lq-84i said nothing and just climbed out of the box and sat down. The camera looked around with his sight and then rested on the girl. He stood and walked closer to her. She didn't back down but was scared of him.

"Who...are you?" Lq-84i's voice asked quietly.

"Weiss Schnee. Heiress to the Schnee Dust Company." The video ended and Wolf cursed. This was giving him nothing at all. There was one more video to look at. It was from right before he started to work for Desperado.

He was on a train and was looking towards the rear where the remains of a giant mech lay. There was a girl and man on separate carts and then the women cut hers from the mans. Lq-84i jumped down and started to engage in combat with her after some brief discussion. She had a sword that was also a pistol and whip of sorts. The sheathe itself was also a weapon which entranced Wolf. He saw as he was about to deliver a blow she disappeared and reappeared and slashed into him. He ended up being cut in half and the girl left him there.

This girl seemed very dangerous. If what he saw about him being the protector of the Schnee Dust Company was true and that she had been attacking their merchandise then he would have to stop her from harming anyone else. The real question was where was this taken? He needed the Doktor. Wolf stealthily left Sunny's room and went to Doktor's and woke him up.

"What is it, Wolf?"

"I unlocked the files and I need your help in restoring them. They have been corrupted and you can help me restore them." Doktor flew up quickly and threw his glasses on. He had wanted to know what was in those files almost as much as Wolf did. They went to his computer and hooked Wolf up to it. The files were now available and Doktor went to work on trying to restore them. One by one they were destroyed as they were too unstable to maintain restoration. Wolf was saddened that so many were being destroyed. They got to one and it was restored.

"This...this cannot be." According to this document, Wolf was from a completely different world. A place called Remnant. He was a weapon that was mostly focused as a guard dog. He had been hired by the Schnee Dust Company to protect their cargo. The strangest part was that on the bottom it had numbers that were almost like coordinates.

"5624.29 by 8263.11. What are those supposed to mean?" Wolf asked the Doktor confused. Unlike everything else that was fine print, this was written in pen on the bottom.

"It looks like coordinates for the stars positioning, maybe. Which means you may be from outer space. That would explain your advanced AI system." Wolf played the videos for Doktor which disproved his theory.

"I think we may be looking at alternate universes, Wolf." That was Doktor's final conclusion. Despite how insane it sounded it actually made the most sense seeing as the video had humans and they had never heard of the Schnee Dust Company.

"Mayhaps the substance you found was dust. It was in the mans sword which we did recover. It might be a fuel supply of sorts. Wolf, I think we can get you to this world by using this dust. We could also reverse engineer it with some of our technology and make you more advanced and powerful. This girl looks tough and if she is dangerous and needs to be killed then you will need every bit of help you can get."

Wolf looked back at the video and paused it when the girl was walking away and nodded.

"Let's do it. I need to find the truth. This is only part of it. If I can return then I can kill her to keep her from hurting others while finding this Ironwood man and finding out about myself." Doktor got his trademark smile and looked at the remaining files. They started to restore them but they just faded away.

"Only one file. That's all we need. Me and Sunny will get to work right away. She will work on your upgrades and newer model while I work on the teleporter. You will need to wait while we do this." Wolf hated waiting but knew he had to.

"I will learn the truth and kill her." He looked back at the screen and growled.

"I'm coming for you."

There we go everyone. First chapter of this short background thingy. I will also be doing similar ones for the other Avatars. The Avatars are Travis, Wolf, Kell, and Zack. Travis is from my story No Fear. Wolf is from this obviously. Kell and Zack's stories haven't been made yet but they are as follows.

Kell is an Argonian from Black Marsh who goes to Skyrim after being kicked out by his clan for refusing to complete his trials. He discovers he is Dragonborn and destined to save everyone and kill Alduin.

Zack is a boy from New Marais who was there when Cole McGrath detonated the RFI and killed the beast. He didn't know he was a condiut but he started to die. But, he didn't. He then gets some other Conduit friends as Bertrands successor Bryce Kalahart tries to finish Bertrand's work and kill off the conduits who survived. He has to make choices that will decide his destiny and everyone elses around him.
