Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! Here we'll be seeing Team Seven going out on their first real mission, though it will be different than what most of you would imagine. Also the appearance of a surprising new character. So, without further ado.

I own nothing

'How can there be Grimm here? It doesn't make any sense.' Raven thought jumping through the trees with her team

One of the first things she did upon regaining her memories was do thorough research to see just what this world she landed in was like. In all her research she did not one did she come across anything like the Creatures of Grimm, the closest being the Tailed Beasts but even they weren't creatures created solely for destruction. There was always the chance that Grimm did actually exist and that simply there have been no survivors in previous attacks, but that didn't add up with his recent attack, there'd be at least one survivor from previous attacks to talk about them.

'And even if they were simply passed off as ravings of a madman there'd still be some type of reference to them. But not once have I ever heard of black creatures with bone plating attacking, not once! If Grimm have existed in this world why are they just now attacking?' Thought Raven

She thought her presence might be the result, but that wasn't it either as Raven's been in this world for sixteen years and yet no Grimm attacks until now. It also couldn't be from her reawakened memories, as seven years is still enough time for even a rumor of Grimm to spread.

'The only other explanation… is them.' Raven thought worriedly

The Brother Gods, the God of Light that created life on Remnant and the God of Darkness that created the Grimm, with both having created humanity on Remnant. Raven could only believe the God of Darkness was here in the Elemental Nations, and if he was then his brother likely was as well.

And that honestly scared Raven more than Salem.

'Damnit Ozpin.' Raven cursed mentally knowing somehow Ozpin knew the Gods were no longer on Remnant

She had believed the Brothers were still on Remnant but simply didn't interfere, either because they wanted humans to make their own choices or they simply didn't give a damn anymore. Now she had to worry they were in fact in the Elemental Nations somewhere, which worried Raven immensely.

'There's no use worrying about what ifs, right now I just have theories and guesswork. For now deal with the Grimm, figure out the rest later.' Thought Raven pushing everything else to the back of her mind and focusing on the mission

*Timeskip-Three Days*

"Alright team we've arrived." Kakashi stated as they entered the town

'Yes thank you for pointing out the fucking obvious.' Raven thought rolling her eyes while taking the time to look around

The town was in ruins, buildings falling apart, fences ripped apart, claw marks littering everything in sight.

'Yeah Grimm definitely caused this.' Raven thought having seen the aftermath of enough Grimm attacks to see the signs

It wasn't precise enough to be caused by humans, even ninja, not to mention no signs of damage caused by weapons or Jutsu and to destructive to be regular animals along with a lack of blood, as Grimm didn't bleed, whether from humans or animals.

And the tracks they were to irregular to come from a single type of animal, or regular animals for that matter.

"Where is everyone Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura asked looking around fearfully at the abandoned town

"Hard to say, they could have left for a safer location or have hunkered down somewhere where the animals can't get them." Replied Kakashi, the pin-haired girl sighing in relief

"They could have also simply been killed and bodies dragged to be eaten." Raven said morbidly, wiping away Sakura's relief instantly

"You three go on ahead I'm going to scout around." Said Raven planning to find a safe place to transform and find the Grimm

"Raven I think it'd be best-"

"Pecking order." Raven said suddenly

"-that you should go do that. Let's go Sakura, Satsuki!" Kakashi said hurriedly fast walking away

"You sure it's a good idea to go off on your own Raven-nee?" Asked Satsuki worriedly

While she knew Raven can handle herself, it still worried Satsuki as Raven was the only family she had left and didn't want to lose her.

"Don't Satsuki I'll be fine. Just make sure to keep your meat shields within grabbing distance in case you need a sacrificial lamb." Raven said walking off

"Wh-what did she mean by 'meat shields'?" Asked Sakura fearfully looking to Satsuki

The female Uchiha merely gave a blank look before turning to follow Kakashi without saying a word.

"Satsuki, Satsuki? What did she mean?!" Sakura asked

*With Raven*

'Where could they be?' Raven thought looking down at the ground to try and spot the familiar black creatures

She wasn't sure if these Grimm behaved the same as the ones in Remnant, drawn to negative emotions being attracted to negative emotions and having the innate desire to kill humans and destroy all artificial creations associated with them. If that was true then there's likely a location around here that still possesses traces of negative emotions or just something that keeps the Grimm from moving elsewhere.

Though Raven also admitted the possibility that these might not even be Grimm and simply be twisted animal experiments created by some mad scientist, and she simply jumped to the conclusion they were Grimm. But she felt they were in fact Grimm as the similiarities was to great to be anything but Grimm.

After several moments of flying Raven finally spotted something of attention off in the distance. Flying towards it Raven soon arrived and saw it was the ruins of what she could only guess was once a great city. Landing on top of a tower and transforming back, Raven couldn't help but whistle in appreciation at both the view and the size of the place.

'I didn't think a city this large would exist in this world.' Raven thought impressed

The fact it looked like it existed long before the Hidden Villages was even more impressive, it looked even bigger than Atlas, the largest and most advanced kingdom. Though Raven was pulled from her thoughts when she heard a voice in her head.

"Strange." Kyuubi muttered

'Oh so you're talking now. And what do you mean strange?' Thought Raven

"Grrr, excuse me for not being a chatterbox human, and what makes you think I'll answer your question." Kyuubi growled

'Because why else would you speak unless you found this place strange enough to warrant speaking.' Raven retorted mentally, Kyuubi growling again before relenting it's curiosity to great

"Tsk, fine. What's strange is I've been alive for centuries, maybe thousands of years, I never kept track, and I have seen every land this world has to offer and neither I nor my siblings have ever seen a city this vast." Kyuubi answered intrigued at the thought of a city just suddenly appearing out of nowhere

That only increased Raven's own intrigue, a city that not even the Tailed Beasts have seen. Crouching down Raven gained a thoughtful expression.

'You think it could have been hidden under a widespread Genjutsu or Fuinjutsu? Like sealed in its own pocket dimension.' Raven thought

"Impossible, I've existed long before humans could create an illusion or seal large enough to hide something this big, let alone a technique to hide it away in a pocket dimension." Kyuubi rejected

'Interesting.' Thought Raven feeling like it was just one mystery after another

Being reborn in this world, Grimm appearing, and now the ruins of a city.

Though a thought struck her, what if only certain people could find it.

"Explain human." Demanded Kyuubi

'What's the magic word~' Raven thought smirking when she heard the fox growl

'Alright, alright touchy much. What I think is what if only specific people were meant to find this place, and I just happen to be one of them.' Raven thought, Kyuubi scoffing

"What you think those cursed eyes are the reason. Doubtful, no Uchiha in history has ever found this place, not even Madara." Said Kyuubi

'Well none of them had magic.' Raven retorted, the Kyuubi going silent at that not wanting to admit she's right

If her magic is what allowed her to find this place then that just created more questions she couldn't answer. Did that mean magic did exist in this world, or at least once did, if so were there other people that had it. Or was it because she had her Aura. Before Raven could continue her thoughts she heard something, something incredible familiar.

*BANG* *BANG* *BANG*

'A gun? That shouldn't possible.' Raven thought knowing no one in this world knew how to make guns, let alone what they were

*BANG* * BANG*

But there it was, Raven would recognize it anywhere.

This definitely had Raven's attention. Jumping off Raven ran down the side of the tower intent to find out just who possessed a firearm in this world.

When she was low enough Raven pushed off the tower flying through the air landing on the roof of a building, that luckily didn't collapse under her. Not stopping her momentum Raven rolled and started jumping across the rooftops, while jumping or sliding under anything in her way.

'Oh I've missed this!' Raven thought smiling widely

One thing she missed back in Remnant was free running across the kingdoms, the wind on her face, the danger that one misstep could be fatal, and just the excitement of it. It just wasn't the same in Konoha where falling off a building at most break her arm or leg or jumping through trees. While in Remnant falling off a building in one of the Kingdoms would mean becoming a stain on the ground.

Qrow called her an adrenaline junky when they were younger, Raven preferred that she lived to the fullest.

Running along the edge of the building Raven looked down to the roads below and saw the familiar creatures running down there.

'This just got more fun.' Thought Raven her smile now looking dangerous while she grabbed her swords handle

Running ahead of the Grimm, Raven jumped off the building freefalling to the ground while the Grimm ran towards her

The Grimm noticed her falling form and one of them, a Beowolf she noticed, jumped into the air with its claws at the ready. Smirking Raven closed her eyes before they snapped open and she drew her sword slicing the Beowolf straight in half down the middle.

Landing on the ground, which cracked under her, in the kneel with her sword back in it sheathe while both halves of the Beowolf dissolved into smoke behind her. Standing up straight Raven looked at the remaining Grimm, counting eleven Beowolves. Looking at them Raven held her sword forward pushing it out just a little when a twelfth Beowolf jumped up behind her.

Grabbing her sword Raven drew it and suddenly sped past the Grimm to the other end of the street slowly returning her sword to its sheathe, once it clicked the Beowolf fell down exploding into smoke. The remaining Grimm turned to her growling.

Looking at them Raven instantly sped forward slashing one across the chest before in a spin movement killed a second and a third.

'One, two, three…' Raven thought throwing her sheathe behind her flying through another Grimm and stabbing into another

'…Four…'

Speeding forward again she slashed through two more before giving a diagonal slash to a third.

'…Five six, seven…'

Throwing her sword as it spun around slashing through three more.

'…Eight, nine, ten…'

When her sword returned Raven slid it back into its sheathe still stabbed into the last Grimm

"And eleven." Raven finished as the Grimm dissolved away

Flipping her hair Raven prepared to continue towards the sound of gun fire…

*SCREECH*

…Only to stop as a flock of Griffon dived bombed her

'It never ends.' Raven thought

Jumping into the air with a shout Raven slashed her sword around killing three, before doing a front flip slashing a forth. Finally she stabbed her sword down on the fifth one that had landed on the ground.

Seeing all the Grim were dead Raven sheathed her sword and began walking away as the Grimm hit the ground their remains quickly dissolving into the smoke.

'This body might have the strength of my old one but at least I was able to get my speed up to par.' Raven thought

'Now to find out where those shots were coming from.'

Jumping back up to a rooftop Raven continued her running knowing she was getting close as the shots and sounds of fighting were getting closer. It didn't take long before she reached what looked to be a park with numerous Grimm either fighting someone or dissolving into smoke.

Though when Raven saw just what the Grimm were fighting she froze in shock at what it was.

Or more specifically who it was

'Th-that's… no, no, no, that's impossible.' Raven thought unconsciously taking a step back

She couldn't see clearly who it was fighting but she knew exactly who it was. The white blur, the bladed rifle and kama, the white rose petals flying around.

Shakily Raven reached up and grabbed one of said petals out of the air looking at it with wide eyes.

She wanted to deny it, to say it was a trick, that she was seeing things that weren't there.

That she was dead!

"Summer." Raven whispered staring at the petal

Looking down at the fight again, any chance at denial was wiped when a bright light emitted from the persons eyes and all the remaining Grimm were reduced to ash. There was no doubt now, Raven wished it wasn't true, but it was.

Drawing her sword Raven opened a portal to the street below. Stepping through Raven gulped seeing Summer's back turned to her, which she was thankful for as she wanted to postpone this confrontation as long as possible. It was honestly a coin toss on Summer's reaction to seeing her again, either happy or pissed off.

Personally Raven wanted to portal out of there and pretend she didn't see anything, but she couldn't.

With each step she took it felt like Raven was walking to her own execution. Finally she only stood a few feet away from Summer, who thankfully still hadn't noticed her presence.

"Summer." Raven called out

Summer stopped in her tracks hearing the familiar voice, reaching up she pulled her hood down and turned around to see her former partner standing there.

"Raven." Said Summer surprised to see her here not having thought anyone else from Remnant was here

'She looks the same.' Both girls thought

Raven saw Summer looked younger than back in Remnant, but still older than her maybe around nineteen.

'But she's still short.' Raven thought amused her partner was still shorter than her

She looked exactly like her daughter as well, with only her hair being longer and her outfit being black and white, along with her cloak being white as well. Raven also noted the black and white rifle with a curved blade attached to the bottom held in one hand and the matching kama in the other.

For several moments both partners stared at each other in silence, neither showing what they were really feeling.

"You're here to." Summer stated after a few moments

"Yeah, for sixteen years now. I only regained my memories seven years ago." Said Raven

"Same as me." Summer muttered to herself before looking at Raven again

"Did you get here the same way I did?" Asked Summer

The way they arrived not needing to be said.

"Yeah." Raven replied, Summer nodding slowly with narrowed eyes

"Ooohhh..." Summer hummed in thought

Suddenly Summer vanished in a flurry of white rose petals, Raven's eyes widened before quickly drawing her sword blocking a slice from the kama aimed at her neck while Summer reappeared above her the barrel of her rifle pointed right between her eyes.

Acting quickly Raven used Substitution with a piece of rubble, thankfully just before Summer pulled the trigger.

"What the hell?! Are you trying to kill me?!" Raven demanded

"Yes." Summer answered coldly glaring at her with glowing silver eyes just before she vanished again

'Damnit!' Raven cursed activating her Sharingan hoping they can track Summer's movements

Summer's Semblance was the same as her daughters, being able to move at high-speeds. The only difference was Summer was much, much faster than Ruby making it nearly impossible for people to track her movements, unless they could predict where she'd attack from. Considering they were partners for years Raven knew how Summer fought, but she didn't know if she picked up any new tricks in this new world.

Blocking another strike Raven took the opportunity to grab Summer's arm and toss her away, though she quickly righted herself and landed on her feet.

"Can you at least tell me what I did to warrant the attempted murder?" Raven asked, Summer glaring at her even releasing a growl

"You wanna know why?! You know why!" Yelled Summer as her rifle unfolded itself into a scythe before she connected her kama to the end creating a dual ended scythe

'Oh shit.' Raven thought knowing if Summer was using her scythe she really was trying to kill her

With a shout Summer appeared behind Raven her scythe held above her head before bringing it down only for it to be blocked again.

"You abandoned us all! You left Tai alone to take care of Yang, you left Qrow your brother and twin, and you left me your partner! We were a team, a family, and you just left!" Summer shouted attacking more ferociously with each accusation before stopped and jumped back

"But you know what I could have forgiven all that because I know you Raven, what kind of person you are. But the one thing I will NEVER forgive, the one thing that I'm most angry about?" Summer said her eyes glowing brighter with each word before speeding towards Raven

'Oh.' Thought Raven finally realizing why Summer was angry

"YOU BROKE YOUR PROMISE!" Summer shouted appearing above Raven bringing her scythe down

*BOOM*

Raven grunted quietly feeling the ground crack under her from the power behind Summers attack. Looking Raven flinched a little seeing Summers tear-filled glare, thankfully her eyes were no longer glowing. Her arms were shaking before they dropped to her side and her weapon fell out her grip.

"You broke your promise." Summer repeated in a whisper not having the energy to be angry

Raven stared at her in sadness before looking away as she sheathed her sword. She remembered the promise, it was the last time she saw Summer alive.

*Flashback*

Raven quickly transformed back to her human form and took off running.

'I'm almost there, I'm gonna make it! Please be alright!' Raven pleaded mentally

A few days ago she'd gotten wind that Summer had been sent on an extermination mission, this normally wouldn't concern Raven knowing Summer could handle a few Grimm on her own. What worried Raven was that mission wasn't a high-risk one, in fact it looked simple enough a team of first years could handle it. This caused Raven to become increasingly worried for her partner and immediately left for the mission location, she would have normally just open a portal to Summer, but somehow she found a way to block the connection, so she had to get there the old fashion way.

Sure Raven knew she was being paranoid and maybe it was nothing to worry about, but given Summer having silver eyes and working with Ozpin, it made her a target for Salem. So Raven was understandably worried this mission was a trap set by Salem to kill Summer.

Reaching the location Raven grabbed her sword prepared for a fight only to stop and freeze at what she saw.

'No… please no…' Raven thought slowly walking forward

Summer was lying on the ground her cloak stained red with blood.

"Summer!" Raven screamed running to her

Falling to her knees Raven rolled Summer over and desperately searched for a pulse.

'Please don't be dead, please don't be dead, please don't be dead!'

Raven released a breath in relief when she found a pulse, albeit a weak one, but it was there.

"Alright Summer open your eyes, come on you need to wake up." Raven said shaking her gently to get her to wake up while being careful not to aggravate her injuries

Summer groaned in pain before her eyes opened partway seeing her partner looking down at her.

"He-hey R-Rae. Fancy seeing you here." Summer said giving a weak smile, Raven laughing

"Only you could act so casually despite nearly dying." Said Raven

"What did you expect, I'm too awesome to die. Hehehe, oh it hurts to laugh" Groaned Summer holding her side

"Hey easy, easy. I'm gonna get you out of here." Raven said about to open a portal before Summer stopped her

"Don't bother." Said Summer moving her cloak showing numerous slash wounds across her chest and abdomen

"No…" Raven whispered not willing to accept she was going to die

"Hey, don't worry about it, I didn't go down alone." Summer said pointing to where five bodies were on the ground likely all having been sent by Salem

'I should have gotten here sooner.' Thought Raven angry at herself for not being faster

"Raven, I don't know how much longer I have. But can you promise me something?" Asked Summer

"Anything."

"Promise me, you'll look after Yang and Ruby, that you'll protect them. Promise me." Summer pleaded

"I… I promise." Raven said, Summer smiling despite the situation

"Can you also take that stupid mask off. I want to see m partners face one last time." Summer said

Nodding Raven reached up and removed her mask.

"You're still so beautiful." Said Summer reaching up and touching Raven's cheek, which Raven held in her own

"Tell the girls…. I'm sorry… I couldn't… come home." Summer said as the last of her strength left her and she went limp in Raven's arms

"Summer… Summer…" Raven said shaking her not wanting to believe she's gone

'Please don't die.'

Suddenly water droplets began falling down, looking up Raven saw it started raining. At least it would hide her tears.

Hearing a groan made Raven's snap back to Summer hoping it was her. But she remained still.

Hearing it again Raven looked to the other bodies and saw them starting to move. This angered Raven, that these bastards dared to still live while Summer was dead. Gently setting Summer down, Raven grabbed her sword as the rotary chamber switched out the blades. Drawing her chosen one showed a serrated lightning dust blade.

Approaching the still living attackers, Raven's eyes flared with her Maiden powers.

She was gonna make sure they died, slowly and painfully.

*End Flashback*

"You promised to look after Yang and Ruby, but you didn't, you left them alone. Tai was broken about what happened and Qrow couldn't stay around because of his Semblance. I trusted you Raven and did nothing." Summer said glaring at her, Raven not saying anything knowing it was true

"Can I at least explain why I didn't?" Asked Raven

"You can, but I doubt anything you say will make me forgive you." Summer retorted

Raven looked at her partner seeing the hatred and resentment in her eyes.

"You." Raven said simply

"What?" Summer questioned confused

"You, I couldn't keep my promise because of you." Said Raven stopping Summer before she could say anything

"I went to Patch fully intent to keep my promise. When I arrived Yang had left with Ruby in a wagon, she had found out you weren't her birth mother, and gone to try and find me. They both would have been killed by Grimm, I was about to intervene but Qrow beat me to it. When they were safe I followed them home and I saw Qrow and Taiyang, they were still working with Ozpin." Raven said clenching in her hands in anger

"And so?" Said Summer not seeing what that had to do with anything

"And I was going to kill them." Raven said bluntly, much to Summer's shock

"Wh-what?"

"They both loved and cared about you, yet they still chose to work with the man that got you killed. Seeing that I was going to kill them both and take the girls away where they wouldn't get dragged into a war that'd get them killed as well." Said Raven

As far as she was concerned Ozpin was responsible for Summer dying, he knew the danger anyone allied with him was in, Summer already being a target for her eyes alone, and yet he still let her fight against Salem. And seeing Qrow and Taiyang still willing to side with Ozpin despite that angered Raven, as not only did they ignore the fact Summer died but also put Yang and Ruby in danger as well.

She doubted Salem had any qualms about killing children or corrupting them to her side.

"So why didn't you?" Summer asked quietly knowing once Raven put her mind to something it's nearly impossible to change it

"Because you wouldn't want that kind of life for them, moving from place to place or joining the tribe." Replied Raven

"So I kept my distance, I watched them while transformed and interfered when necessary." Raven said looking away

She didn't do anything during the attack on Beacon because she had been preoccupied and didn't arrive until it was already over. But the damage had already been done, Yang lost an arm and Ruby had to watch two of her friends be killed.

"Oh." Summer said unsure what else to say

"I should probably be going. It was nice seeing you again Summer." Said Raven planning to get back to her team and then go home

The Grimm were taken care so there was no reason for them to stick around.

"Raven wait." Summer said stopping her

Sighing Raven turned, prepared for whatever Summer was going to do whether it was attack her again or shout and insult her. What she wasn't prepared for was when Summer pulled her close and slammed her lips against hers.

That wasn't something Raven expected.

Though while she was surprised Raven quickly returned the kiss, feeling happy that Summer was the one that initiated it. The last time they kissed was just before they graduated Beacon, they had been in the relationship that started halfway through their first year. It was kept secret, mostly because Summer was embarrassed as Raven was the first person she started dating and wanted to see if it'd last before making it public. Raven personally didn't care if anyone found out, only keeping it secret because Summer wanted it kept secret. Though she was sure Qrow had known, he'd always known how to read her, but never said anything.

But while both loved each other, they decided to end things due to different goals. Raven wanting to return to her tribe and Summer wanting to stay and help fight Salem.

During the kiss Raven took the time to reestablish the link between her and Summer.

Soon they pulled apart, Raven looking surprised while Summer was red-faced.

"Not that I'm complaining, but what was that for?" Raven asked

"Just… even if I'm still mad, it was really great to see you again. A familiar face in an unfamiliar world." Summer said smiling

"Yeah, it was great to see you to Summer." Replied Raven giving a small smile

"Hey, Raven. Do you think we'd be able to… I don't know meet up sometime and talk, you were alive longer and I wanna know how my girls have been." Summer said as the one thing she regretted most when she died was not seeing Yang and Ruby one last time

"Definitely." Said Raven, Summer smiling widely

"Great! So uh, see you around." Summer said before vanishing in a burst of petals grabbing her weapon as she left

Raven smiled a little, plenty of unexpected things happened, but none of them unpleasant.

Finding Summer was in this world was unexpected but welcomed to know she was alive. But that brought up the question…

Who else was here?

So, what did you think, good. That's right Raven isn't the only one who's been reborn, Summer Rose is here as well! Not only that but we got a flashback showing Summer's final moments in Remnant and some insight on Raven. Now some of you I'm sure don't like Raven, given her hypocritical nature in the show, but me I personally I like her as she's the one character that knows the fight against Salem is hopeless, Team RWBY might talk a big game about stopping Salem, but they were terrified of just an illusion of Salem, how do you think they'll be when they meet the witch herself? Now I'm not bashing Team RWBY, they're some of my favorite characters, I'm just showing Raven has good reasons to believe the fight is hopeless, for starters she's seen first hand what Salem is capable of, second Ozpin told Team STRQ the secret of his immortality and that he's been fighting Salem for thousands of years and yet hasn't gotten any closer to stopping her, and third Raven only even joined Beacon Academy to learn how to kill Huntsmen not to fight Grimm or get caught up in a secret war.

Now I'm not trying to defend Raven's actions, as abandoning her daughter was definitely the worst thing she could do besides working with Cinder, but it's better to see things from Raven's perspective rather than just "oh she's a hypocrite let's all hate her and condemn her". But that's just my opinion on the matter. Anyway back to the chapter, lots of things happened we saw Raven fight, her and Summer's confrontation, and a promise to meet again. And lastly the question I'm sure is on plenty of peoples minds, who else is reborn? Well you'll just have to stay tuned to find out. So, review if you liked go away if you didn't.

Storm out
