Here is the first chapter to the RWBY self insert story I mentioned some time ago. There will be parings in this story, as well as my Freezing: Wolf God. Unlike Wolf God I do not have a 5 page minimum before I even consider posting a chapter, so the chapters will vary more for this . So you all know I am still writing the eleventh chapter of Wolf God, which is about half way done or so. That said it will sill take me a bit since I'm am doing some drawing as well as writing other things. Lastly cheers to those of you who have favorited me as an author and or followed me. Now onto the story...
An unusually cold night greeted me with an icy slap as I walked out into the night. The night sky was clear, the stars barely visible behind all the streetlights. Even though I had two sweaters on and thick pants it was cold. At least it wasn't raining. I walked down to 185th to get my mind off of upcoming exams. The first thing I noticed was that the street was a little too quiet, as if nobody was driving on it at all. Where are the late night drivers? Reaching into my pocket I pulled out my cell phone checking the time. My phone displayed 10:15. An eerie silence filled the air.
I quickly walked, which for many was about the same speed as them jogging in some cases, to my old high school. Once I entered the deserted parking lot a heavy darkness crept over the area. What the hell? The darkness seemed to move like water as it hung above the parking lot. Mesmerized I followed the darkness deeper into the parking lot. For some reason the darkness gathered just before the chain link fence that blocked the foot ball field from the south parking lot.
I watched intently as the darkness gathered into a a cloud, and inside it looked like there were two people talking. One I could tell was female though her clothing was hazy so I couldn't quite what she was wearing other than a white coat. Maybe a lab coat? The other person was a male though details were even harder to see on him. The dark cloud combined with the dark color of his cloths nearly hid him from my sight. Their lips moved but I couldn't hear any words what so ever. Then the male pointed at me and his lips moved. Even though I didn't hear the man in blurred in gray speak I understood what was said; Kill him.
The dark cloud shifted a little in shape and several shadows landed on the ground forming into a rough humanoid shape. It was translucent with a thin lanky body, impossibly long arms, and hands equipped with long fingers ending in claws. The shadow forms were the same light gray color making them somewhat visible despite being translucent. The four forms rested on all fours waiting patiently. I tensed slightly. I shifted my feet to be further apart with one behind the other while having my arms out and ready to move at a moments notice. The humanoids tensed leaning back slightly. Can these things touch anything?
I narrowed my eyes at the closest shadow form. "Don't give me whatever you consumed. I have no desire to look like a husk." I said then the closest shadow form jumped at me. I crouched down just before the shadow form passed over me with incredible quickness. The other three charged. I rolled to the right avoiding the second shadow form. I sensed something behind me and turned to see the first shadow form claw my leg. Pain laced through me as my question was answered. I growled but reached for the creature's arm and grabbed something solid with my left hand.
I struck the elbow with a palm forcing the joint to bend backwards. The joint shattered and the shadow form screeched. I let go stumbling backwards a little with a ringing in my ears. The other three rushed me again. I leaned out of the way of the first shadow form driving my elbow into the things chest. Bone, or something like it, broke from the force making the thing bounce back onto the ground limp. The second and third shadow forms swiped at me at the same time with blinding quickness grazing my chest and shoulders. I heard the one behind me hiss as one of the other two prepared to jump at me.
This was too good to pass up. "Come at me ya bastard!" I hollered then ducked right before the shadow form rushed over me and attacked the weakened one. I risked a glance behind behind me to see the shadow forms rip into each other. That glanced cost me. Within that several second time frame the last shadow form sliced my chest and arms. Blood gushed from the deep cuts causing me to fall over hard onto my side. My vision blurred but I could make out the shadow form get close to me.
Fine. I guess this is how it'll end. My life snuffed out by a group of translucent shadow monsters in the middle of the night inside of an empty high school parking lot. Just swell. The head of the shadow form drew close to mine before its thin line of a mouth opened to a maw of shark like teeth. Something moved just past the shadow form's head catching my attention. The thing was a quick white blob with my current vision. The approaching maw of teeth stopped then turned to stare at the blob of light that had gotten close.
A hiss escaped the thin throat of the shadow form. My vision briefly cleared to show that the light blob was actually an orb. In the moment after the hiss a tendril lashed out from the orb and zapped the shadow form, which vanished in an explosion of shadow that spread out and faded. Again my vision blurred though I could see that the orb floated close to me. It hovered by my head for maybe ten seconds or so, feeling more or less like an eternity. Finally light burst forth from the orb blinding me and relieving me of my senses.
OoOoOoOoOoOo
The next thing I felt was pain. A searing fire covering all of my body. Lovely. I opened my eyes slowly being greeted with the sight of trees that had red leaves...Bloody hell. How did I get to here? It hurt but I looked around. The trees around me all sported red leaves and some rested on the ground in a thin carpet. I could somewhat feel my limbs which was a good sign. My cloths were sticky around my chest, legs, and arms. Why are they sticky? I put my fingers on my chest and brought them to my face. My fingers were soaked in blood. Well that isn't good.
I sighed. I have somehow transported to a fictional universe and I was still bleeding out, brilliant. With a grunt I rolled over onto my stomach catching a glimpse of the pool of blood on the ground where I was. The forest was a little too quiet for my liking. Assuming I was actually in the world of RWBY I had to get out of this forest before any Grimm could eat me alive. Getting up was grueling but I slowly rose ignoring the protest of my muscles. Once on my feet I swayed a little feeling dizzy and somewhat heavy to the front. Why am I heavy in the front? I'll have to figure it out later.
Walking hurt like hell. My body screamed at me as I made my way to the nearest tree in front of me. Vision blurred a little but I kept going. I have to get out of here. I dimly heard twigs snap and break under my feet. I reached out and bumped my hand against the rough bark of a tree. Step one complete, now to get-
I was snapped out of my thoughts when the bushes near me rustled. Leaning heavily against the tree I tensed. If it was a Grimm in there I was screwed. With the bleeding and being weakened I had no chance against anything if I needed to defend myself. Something black emerged from the bushes. Yep, a Grimm. Bite me. I waited as more black emerged, a large patch of pitch black fur revealed itself. As it continued to back up I also took a step back, only to step on a small twig and snap it.
The Grimm stopped for a second sniffed the air and whipped around to see me in all my blood soaked glory. Malice and hatred glared forth from the two glowing crimson colored eyes. A low growl issued forth from the mask covered muzzle of the Grimm, a Beowolf. The instant the Beowolf took a step adrenaline surged through me and the pain I had previously felt vanished. It rushed at me with a speed I didn't anticipate and knocked me back into the clearing with a giant black paw. I growled as I landed on my back.
I rolled to my feet as the Grimm charged me. The world slowed down while something in me snapped. Suddenly I felt energy swirling around me then focused it at the approaching Grimm with my thoughts. The Beowolf slowed possibly sensing or smelling something was off. I knelt down before sticking my hand on the ground. A sheet of ice spread from it quickly covering the clearing. The Grimm slipped and madly tried to get traction. While it slid on the ice I felt pain and desperation burn in my blood. Then fire erupted in a storm around me burning everything.
I began breathing heavily as more Grimm showed up. A bunch of them. While they filed into the scorched clearing I counted nine of them. They operate in packs...Oh hell. In the back of the group I could see a Beowolf that was larger than the others and more covered in the white bone mask armor, or whatever it is. I clenched my fists and fire appeared again. They charged me and I fought them. Using the fire I burnt three of them but that didn't keep the other six from attacking me. For the next four minutes I fought the six Beowolves with fire burning their corpses and earning more wounds from their large claws and fangs. The pain was starting to come back to me but I ignored it and looked for my next target.
The last Beowolf moved towards me, but cautiously. For some reason I reached out my hand seeing it tremble, with bruises and cuts on my arms from blocking claw swipes. I focused my eyes on the Beowolf before uttering. "Mine." A rush of energy left me in a sudden wave, then I began to fall. I caught a glimpse of the Grimm's eye color change from the crimson red to a bright silver. What happened? I blacked out as soon as I hit the ground.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Professor Ozpin studied the recorded footage of the unknown individual again that had been found by a third year team from Beacon, for the fourth time. Watching as the female, presumably a Faunus due to the wolf ears on her head, appeared inside of a clearing in Forever Fall forest in a flash of white light. She was attractive for her apparent age of either 18 or 19. Her hair was roughly mid back in length and soaked in blood that made it next to impossible to tell what color it was. Her body was mostly soaked in blood draining form the various wounds that she had appeared with.
In the video the Faunus's eyes opened slowly revealing them to be a bright sky blue in color. She looked around then limped to a tree after getting up. As she leaned against it a Beowolf backed up and found her. Then a fight broke out where the female unleashed ice and fire at her attacker without the use of a weapon. The rest of the Beowolf pack ran in to join the fight before getting destroyed them selves by the Faunus attacking with fire around her body. Several died in the first charge but the remaining six Beowolves managed to land blows that left claw scraps on Faunus's forearms, and a lucky one managed to claw her face. The only one who didn't attack was the Alpha Beowolf, who used caution while approaching the wolf Faunus. She reached out her arm and muttered something before collapsing onto the ground limp.
Professor Ozpin took a sip of coffee and rewound the video focusing on the Faunus, and turned up the volume. With that section of the video on replay he heard one word; "Mine". Then she fell over as the Alpha Beowolf walked over to sit by her body. The camera caught the Beowolf staring at it curiously. The professor paused the video with a clear view of it's eyes. They were no longer crimson red, but bright silver in color.
"Another Conduit..." Ozpin commented just before the tall blond figure of Glynda entered his office. "How are our guests doing?"
Glynda ran a hand through her hair then pulled out her scroll. With a few key commands a video popped up showing the wolf Faunus and the Alpha Beowolf in the same room both sleeping, the Faunus on the medical bed and the Grimm on the floor. Then she pulled up an image of another room, though this was was dotted with claw marks and dents from the its previous occupant. "The wolf Faunus is doing better, but she was badly injured when team GREL brought her in. She should be able to talk in a few hours, though I'm not entirely sure why having the Grimm in the same room as her calms it."
"Did you notice the color of the alpha's eyes?" Ozpin said.
Glynda raised an eye brow. "No, why?"
"They were bright silver." Ozpin replied. "Do you know about the legends of the Conduits?"
"Of course I do." she answered. Glynda knew Professor Ozpin had something in with his questions and observations, but what was it? What was the professor aiming for? What did this conversation have to do with their unexpected guest? The headmaster of Beacon sipped his coffee waiting for Glynda to speak. "The main legends of the Conduits speak of one of their own with the ability to bind Grimm to them and control them. But there hasn't been any evidence to prove they could control Grimm."
"Until now." Ozpin said. Glynda's gaze shifted to the video feed of the wolf Faunus who stirred. Despite the amount of injury the wolf Faunus had sustained she was awake far earlier than Ozpin had anticipated, though that was okay with him since he had some questions for her.
"Should we say hello?" Glynda inquired, then Ozpin nodded.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOo
A deep growl emanated from somewhere close by but I couldn't quite figure out where. My body was sore as if I had jumped into a boiling pot of oil then ran a marathon after. I groaned opening my eyes slowly. This time I was in a room of some sort with blank walls the color of steel. I glanced to my right, a wall. Looking the other direction I saw a machine sitting next to whatever I was laying on. On one side of the machine was a holographic screen, but I couldn't read it whatsoever, though I spotted a tube that ran from the machine to my left arm. It was covered in pristine white bandages. I guess someone had the idea to get me to a hospital. I looked back to the ceiling then something nudged my head.
Turning my head I stared directly into bright silver eyes within a white and red mask, the alpha Beowolf. A weak whine escaped its snout as it gently nudged me again. Slowly I moved my hand to pet the Beowolf's mask. A small smile crept onto my face. "I'm okay." I told the Beowolf who rubbed it's head into my hand affectionately. Wait... Why did it do that? Were they even possible of what I'd just seen? The Beowolf's right ear twitched then a growl rumbled from it. The alpha turned around to face something. I followed it to see two people enter from a door, also steel in color. To the left of the door was a table that held several items on it whilst a window occupied the wall to the right of the door from my side of the room.
The first person was a tall woman with blond hair in a kind of pony tail behind her that seemed to reach mid back. Shoe wore a black business skirt along with a white long sleeve shirt holding something in her hand. Ah, a Scroll. I could see a stump attached to her waist most likely her Huntress weapon. Behind her a man with gray hair and green clothing entered, a cup of coffee in hand. This might be interesting Professor Ozpin, Glynda Goodwitch.
I heard another growl beginning to issue forth from the Grimm. I lightly bumped the alpha on the head with my left hand. "Easy." I rasped, my voice feeling a tad bit horse. The Grimm looked over its shoulder to me briefly before lowering it- himself to the floor. A male? How did I know that?
"I was hoping to ask you some questions." Glynda said. Naturally. "Do you know how you got injured?"
I narrowed my eyes at her. Usually the first question is "What is your name?" or "Who are you?" rather than "How did you get injured?". Knowing who these two were it wouldn't be a good idea to lie. Time to see how they'll take it. "I'm sure you've seen me fight the Beowolves, but I already had some injures from my world." I answered then waited for it to sink in. Glynda narrowed her eyes with an incredulous stare while Ozpin mulled it over barely showing anything that indicated he was, save for a tiny light dancing in his eyes.
"Another world you say?"
I nodded.
"Do you have evidence of this young lady?"
I opened my mouth to speak then clamped it shut when his words sunk in. "Young lady"? What the hell? On top of inter-dimensional travel the universe seemed to have a sense of humor. I took a deep breath. "Could I have a mirror?" Glynda nodded and help up a medium sized hand mirror. I glared daggers at the reflection in the mirror, it just glared back. I had a female body complete with a set of animal ears on my head. Awesome... I'm a Faunus with ocean blue colored eyes. Wolf ears sat towards the top of my head and matched the color of long flowing hair, which was a stone gray in color. "I was male before appearing in this world. The evidence is on the small black and silver colored device."
Glynda put the mirror down on the table then took a few seconds to pick up my cell phone. "What is this device?"
"A cell phone." I said then reached down to pet the Beowolf's ears with my finger tips. "You'll need me to unlock it." She brought it over to me then I grabbed it inputting the lock combination. For some reason I felt the need to explain a cell phone to them. "My cell phone here is an example of advanced technology from my world, though your communication devices put it to extreme shame." Luckily I had a recent full body photo of myself and a friend of mine together. Once on the photo I slowly turned the phone in one hand to show Glynda.
"Which one is-
"The guy beside the tall blond was what I looked like." I interrupted earning a quick glance from her.
"What are the other items from your pockets?" Ozpin asked gesturing to the table. Glynda scooted it over so I could see it, while retrieving the cell phone from my hand. Three other items rested on the table. I recognized them instantly and answered. "Keys, wallet, and an Ipod; a music listening device."
"How did you get to our world?" Glynda said continuing to, I guess, record my answers to their questions in her Scroll.
"Hell if I know." I commented then shrugged, or tried to. Pain shocked through my body at the motion causing me to grit my teeth and let out a small growl. "The last thing I remember before waking up in this world was an orb of light then I was here."
Glynda frowned then looked to her Scroll again before holding to where I could see it. "Do you have any idea how you did this?" She tapped a button then a video of...me...fighting the Grimm played. The video started with me creating a layer of ice in the clearing before fire blazed around me in an angry haze, charring the clearing and any Grimm that got too close. This just kept getting better. Not only did I get transported to another dimension. I got a non-human female body AND I also got superpowers. Universe- 3 me- 0.
"Not really." I replied since saying yes or no would be a lie. "At the time I could feel energy around me and I just kind of grabbed it with my will, assuming that makes sense."
"It does." Ozpin commented then I raised an eyebrow. How the hell does that make any sense for this world? There isn't anything like magic or its equivalent. "What were you called on your world?"
"Brandon," I said. No way in hell was I going to give away my last name. Who knows what would happen?
"Since I believe you are stuck, would you like to attend my academy in order to learn about our world and to train your skills?"
Like I could say no to this? "Yes, I'd like to." I answered then Ozpin took a sip of coffee. "However I'll need some things first."
"What do you need?" He said raising an eyebrow.
"First of all I am NOT using my old name. Second I think it would be wise to have at least a collar for the Beowolf here so people don't try to kill him right off the bat."
Ozpin glanced at the Beowolf for a minute, the dancing light in his eyes again. "Alright. What will your new name be?"
"Eve." I answered then looked to the ceiling before closing my eyes. "Feel free to record my history as unknown or whatever corresponds to someone with little official documentation."
"Before we leave there are some things you need to know." Ozpin said standing up. "You are a Wolf Faunus and a Conduit." I raised an eyebrow at that. "Conduits are special individuals who can manipulate the energies of the universe."
"Kinda like magic I guess." I commented.
"Many would describe their powers in that manner." Ozpin replied grabbing his cane.
"Most Conduits are unfortunately as much of an enemy to the kingdoms as the Grimm are." Glynda said closing her Scroll. Living here is going to be hell...
"However, not all of them are evil." Ozpin reassured me. "But I suspect you will be treated differently for being a Wolf Faunus who is also a Conduit." I nodded in agreement then they left. Shortly after I closed my eyes, letting sleep overcome me.
