Chapter 5: what am I ?

3rd POV

Gunshot, explosions, the sound of warfare can be heard. Men calling for help from their comrades. Death can been seen in the form war, smelled in the form of blood, taste in the form of bitterness, heard in the form of shots and touched in the form of the coldness of your friends dead body. Darkness is the only thing that can be seen.

???:...I don't get it...
Crimson: save your strength...the doctor is on his way
???:your a Sith...but...most of the time your not like one
Crimson: I don't understand
???: that's the thing...your here...helping me, another would of discarded me
Crimson: you know my standards
???: yet you care
Crimson: the Sith care...they care for what they want
???: what was I for you?

One week before
Pyrrha POV

First day of school it's amazing, but kinda weird, we just woke up to the noice of a whistle. And now that we managed to wake up, me and my team are getting ready for the day.

Time skip 30 minuets

We were finished but then we heard a commotion outside.

Jaune: what's going on ?
Ruby: we're LATE!!!

We then started running heading towards our first class.

Time skip classroom

We were paying attention to mr Port class. It wasn't that amazing since he almost all the time is talking about his childhood. I couldn't hold myself but to space out. While looking around I noticed everyone here. On one side we had team Rwby with Ruby...well being Ruby and Weiss getting mad. In the other we had Barren and Willow. Barren...I think he's asleep, and Willow is writing everything that Ports says. Then we have other students doing their own stuff.

Time skip combat class
Crimson POV

We were at combat class, something I can finally do with out being bored to death. I know everything that has to do with this planet and...Galaxy...damn it, I missed the Empire. Wonder what happened with the Second Death Star, I wish I get to see it at full capacity. The empire has been doing great but those damn rebels, they cause more to the average person than what they cause to us. I won't doubt that if the Empire falls the public will hate the rebels. They are causing millions in debt and killing innocent bystanders. They are nothing more than a goddamn street shit gather to do what the-

Hot Willow: Mister Barren!!!
Crimson: Yes Goodbitc-Witch
Goodwitch: would you like to participate with someone today? You've seen pretty concentrate in something...what was it?
Crimson: how good you look
Goodwitch: you couldn't handle me
Crimson: Really?
Goodwitch: 100%
Crimson: the way I see it is...I have Willow over here,  let's see...Green eyes, Blonde hair, Pale skin...and what is this, she's WAY Younger
Everyone: ohhh

I can see she gets furious with me from the way her face got all red and she took me in her magic bubble and threw me in the arena.

Goodwitch: you will be fighting Miss Nikos for that

I then see Pyrrha get up and enter the Arena.

Pyrrha: I'm sorry this is the way we get to know the best of each other
Crimson: don't be, now show me what your made off

She came running at me to kick me but I intervened using my hand to block her kick. She then threw her shield and I deflected it. She then took her sword out and transform it into a gun. She started shooting at me and I activate my lightsaber. I burn every shot she shot at me. Everyone were surprised with my level of skill. She then forced pushed me...wait no...that's her semblance...telekinesis...no, polarity. I think, maybe she can control metals. There's no telekinesis here, only magic. But I failed to notice that she took my lightsabers while I was thinking.

Crimson: good work Pyrrha, you disarmed me
Pyrrha: thank you Barren, but I know this is far from over
Crimson: good

She started analyzing my weapons and she then figured out how to activate my weapons. She used one and gave me another.

Pyrrha: gotta say...this is a nice toy you have here...but what if we level the playing field?
Crimson: more than happy

We started doing circling around each other seeing who will make the first strike.

Crimson: let's make this interesting...no semblance
Pyrrha: I accept your challenge...something else?

I then smirked at her and said;

Crimson: don't let the blade hit you

I then ran at her and she was about swing at me but I slide down her and kicked her from behind. She did a roll and got back on her knees. I ran at her with my sword hold tied but then she forced pushed me. I was send against a wall.

Pyrrha: I'm sooo sorry
Crimson: don't be...dirty, that's how I like it

I then got off but as I was about to strike at her she turned her weapon off, I couldn't stop my swing so I was forced to turn off my weapon as well.

Crimson: What is wrong WITH YOU?!!!
Pyrrha: it's over, I broke the rules
Crimson: not that!!! The Lightsaber!!! I could of cut you in half!!!
Pyrrha: there's no such thing that could-

I then took her shield and cut it in half with one swing of the sword. She was shocked at the revelation. I then took the shield and went to my seat.

Pyrrha: Wait!!! Where are you taking my shield?!!!
Crimson: get it fix...I did brake it

Time skip lunch

I was walking down to the dining hall with Willow. She was eager seeing that we're eating lunch somewhere else beside the ship.

Willow: Barren?
Crimson: yes?
Willow: why don't we have food like this back at the ship?

I then looked at her plate and she had a slice of pizza, monster and ice cream.

Crimson: cause we don't...we don't need have of that

She then looked at me confused. Bitch monster great.

Crimson: never mind

We then saw Team Rwby come to our table.

Ruby: hi
Crimson: hello
Weiss: so Barren hows been your stay at Beacon?
Crimson: normal, I see history and Grimm study as a waste of time
???: but don't you know that history is important

We then turned our attention towards the voice. We saw it came from Pyrrha, and Team JNPR behind her.

Yang: yo
Nora: look who we here, the great-

Nora was interrupted by a yelp of pain. We turn around to see it was team CRDL. They were pulling on a innocent Faunus ear. she was a normal girl with a pair of bunny ears. From the way it looked she was under a lot of pain.

Pyrrha: that's horrible, someone should do something about him
Crimson: tell me about it

I then used the force and started choking him. One second he was fine and then he was seen in the floor holding his throat and scratching in it so he could breath. Everyone was in shock and some tried to go to him. Me and Willow kept eating while everyone started surrounding him. A lot of people tried to help him but couldn't. I made sure to apply the correct amount of force so I wouldn't kill him so quickly. After 5 minutes his face started turning blue and that's when I let go of him. He then toked a big breather and passed out. Then his team toked him to the infirmary. Everyone were scared of what happened to him. There was blood, tears and saliva all over the floor.

Willow: that was interesting don't you think
Crimson: what's interesting about that?
Willow: nothing

Then JNPR and RWBY came back. Nora was all hyped but Ren manage make her come to her sense.

Yang : that's karma for ya
Blake: maybe if he wasn't such a jerk then that wouldn't have happened
Weiss: hey...Barren
Crimson: what?
Weiss: I was meaning to ask...would you like to-

Weiss got cut by Glynda entering with both doors slamming open.

Glynda: Mr Barren!!!
Crimson: what is it with people and my name today?!!!
Glynda: sorry about that, but Professor Ozpin would like for you and ms Willow to go and visit him
Willow: sure

We then got up and started walking.

Glynda: oh...knowing him you two should come to, he will be assigning a mission for them

Jaune: W-Waite?!!! Your saying we get to go on-
Glynda: shut it, it's only for you

Time skip Ozpin office

Crimson: what's the matter Oz?
Oz: you see my boy, we have a little problem, it's actually quite easy I need you to go to the outer walls and kill some Grimm
Crimson: but I'm not a Huntsmen
Oz: I know, and that's why I will make you and Ms Willow official Huntsmen
Willow: so that means we get paid
Oz: correct
Willow: yes
Crimson: Oz...why did truly brought us here?
Oz: what's your Favorite fairy tale?

Ruby POV

We were waiting down stairs for Professor Ozpin to call us up.

Ren: so ms Goodwitch, what do you think he's doing?
Goodwitch: knowing him...probably something stupid and irrational

Willow POV

Oz: have you heard of the Silver eye warriors?
Barren: you mean that old bed time stories bull crap?
Oz: yes...now, what if I told you they are real...including the maidens
Willow: what are they?
Barren: the maiden are 4 magical girls with unique powers that derive from the seasons. And the silver eye warriors are well...I don't think I need to explain what they are, but the twist is that those eye have powers-
Willow: Like yours?

I then see he has stop moving and Oz is now glaring at him. I think I screwed this one up.

Barren: ....sort of, it's said that this eyes will show fear even in to the eyes of Grimm
Willow: what's the difference then
Oz: Barren...what is she talking about?

I then see he starts staring at me, I can feel his rage starts to build up. And I start to feel pressure on top of me. I started feeling bad...I think he was trying to consume my force...but only to an extent that wouldn't harm me only made feel sick.

Oz: Barren I'll take responsibility for the girl, obviously she didn't know and I didn't, but what ever your doing stop it
Barren: fine

He then slowly toked his mask off, but his hood was covering his face. Oz was almost at the edge of his seat, dying to know what dwells beneath that hood. So he slowly took the hood off, his beautiful crimson hair could been seen. Those eyes full of hate, red...yellow, on their own their beautiful but when you know why there like that you pity them.

Oz: incredible...I have never seen eyes like that
Barren: and you won't

He said in a cold manner.

Oz: and why is that?
Barren: what do you know about the Sith?
Oz: to be honest...nothing
Barren: what about the Force?
Oz: being honest mr Barren...I don't know anything
Barren: that's to be expected...the less you know...the better, I'm only gonna say this one Oz...anything that was said here stays here
Oz: understood...I'll let Glynda explain the detail, of your mission but for what I wanted you was to...keep an eye on ms Rose, teach her or at least protect her, I can't afford for her to fall in the wrong hands

Oh boy, why did you had to say that.

Barren: affirmative

I can see he then put his mask on but I know he is smirking under that.

Crimson POV

We were going down the elevator and then I felt Willow hugging me. I was about to protest but she cut me off.

Willow: I'm sorry, but don't worry Master

I don't know why...but I couldn't get mad at her, but I do need to get rid of this anger.

Crimson: fine

We then reached the first floor and we were met with everyone.

Glynda: what did he said?
Willow: he said you will fill us in on what to do
Jaune: let me get this straight, he called you two to see him only for Goodwitch to tell you exactly what to do?
Crimson: more or less
Glynda: then follow me

Time skip

We were in a bullhead heading towards where Oz told us. Everyone has been quiet...to quiet.

Ruby: so I guess I'll break the ice , Miss Goodwitch why are we here?
Glynda: you will be shadowing Barren and Willow as they exterminate a small Grimm infestation, this will also function as practice for when your in the real world, thats why both of your teams have been selected
Weiss: but miss Goodwitch, Barren and Willow aren't-
Willow: LOOK!!!

Willow just took out her scroll showed she's actually a huntress.

Everyone: When?!!!
Crimson: when we went with Oz
Everyone: ohhh

We then made it to the location they wanted us to go. Glynda then provided us with a back bag with almost everything we will need.

Crimson: for how long?
Glynda: until every creature in this sector is dead
Crimson: 5 hours
Glynda: Splendid

We then started walking towards the center of the sector under my command.

Jaune: why are we exactly in the middle of the sector?
Ruby: yea, this is not how we hunt Grimm
Crimson: cause this is how I hunt such primitive creatures...now everyone, go up into a tree and stay there, they will come to me
Pyrrha: what are you implying?
Crimson: that I'm the bait

Everyone then looked at me with Faces of concern.

Weiss: your joking..right?
Willow: nop, now let's go
Weiss: what is wrong with you?!!! He will be destroyed!!!
Willow: don't you have fate in my master?
Weiss: * flustered * Fine!!! But if anything bad happens I'm blaming you
Willow: sure thing princess
Weiss: heiress
Willow: honey your family has more money and power than all 4 kingdoms
Blake: she does have a point
Weiss: not helping

Then they all got in position as I instructed, cause being honest, it doesn't get as easy as saying climb a tree and stay there.

After they were set I focused all my hatred, sadness and fear that I have stored for over a thousand years.

Pyrrha POV

W-what is this? So much hate, pain and conflict. This suffering is so intense as if someone has hold back their entire life and even though that's not enough. I noticed Willow seating next to me, so I tried speaking with her.

Pyrrha: Willow
Willow: yes
Pyrrha: your master...why does he has so much...
Willow: pain? Hate?
Pyrrha: yes
Willow: he's a Sith Lord , their all like that...although Barren sometimes breaks character

Sith? I think I have heard that before...but from where?

Willow: hold on...we have company

I then see around 200 Beowolfs surround us. I was shocked. How are we gonna take care of them?

Willow: you look surprised
Pyrrha: * whispering * of course, how are we gonna kill all those thin-

I then felt the air getting colder. We could all noticed it, I could see my breath, something that should be impossible this time of year. I see him expanding his arms and then all the things in the ground around a 5 mile radius  was frozen solid. He then did something I wouldn't imagen. He used Force pushed in away that all the Grimm that were incased in solid ice broke like they were nothing. He then fell on one knee and started breathing heavily.

Willow: OK EVERYONE, KILL EVERY STANDING GRIMM!!!

Everyone started doing what Willow said but I didn't, for some reason I felt obligated to go help Barren out.

Pyrrha: Barren !!! You ok?

I then see he turns around with his remaining strength and nods. I get under him so he can use me as support and I help him walk to the nearest tree, there I carefully set him against it. I was about to take his mask off to help him breathe but he stopped me.

Barren: Never...take this mask away from me...unless...your ready...to see what's beneath

He then passed out and I stood there keeping guard in case a Grimm wanted to attack.

Time skip the slaughter

I see that Barren has gathered his strength back and was ready to go back.

Ruby: THAT WAS SOOO COOL!!! How did you did that ?!!!
Barren: we can say it's part of my power
Ruby: WOW

I couldn't help but giggle at Ruby's child like attitude. It was something that brought joy to all of us.

Time skip one hour
Barren POV

We were ready to leave until we saw the ship explode. From the remains of the ship came White Fang members running towards us. The entire team started fighting them. But I...no...I'll kill them all. I used forced push on Everyone, all the white fang soldiers looked at me, they looked like they were gonna give up, but I know that their animal instincts were screaming at them to kill me...before I killed them, it was either them or me. All of them threw a war cry and just like that they began running at me. They started shooting but I deflected every shot. All those who were brave enough to challenge me on combat were struck down by my sword. One of them wielding a massive bastard sword came running at me. A tall man of an amazing 7 feet almost 8 tried to strike me down. I used the force and crushed all of his vital organs. But with his last breath he tried swinging that massive sword, I ran at him and with a swift swing I manage to cut both sword and man. Seeing he was not dead but in massive pain I used the force once more and destroyed his head. I then looked around and saw the rest of Team RWBY and JNPR fighting the remaining of the all the white fang members. I started running around the battle field swing my sword killing foe after foe. No animal was equal to my strength. But half way the battle field I missed to notice a sniper, blinded in my pride I reacted quickly and I managed to cut the bullet in half but that proved to be my worst mistake. One of the pieces was send flying toward Willow. I tried using the force to stop the projectile. It hit her right in the center. I saw once again how her body fell down. In my moment of rage I brought the sniper with the force and cut him in pieces. Both teams where witnesses of my brutal execution. I then started executing every remaining soldier in sight. This was no longer a fight...it was a carnage, with no survivors, they all begged for mercy but I didn't give any. I send a distressed signal to Alex. Confirmation came, it said 5 minutes. But then my worst dream came true...more soldiers came. The rest of the teams were forced to keep on fighting. I quickly ran towards Willow to check on her condition. She was bleeding a lot. I started feeling scared, scared of loosing her, but why, why do I feel this pain, it first happened that time when she was almost killed and now again. I picked her up in my arms and carried her out of harms way. I knew both teams could fend for themselves. I went behind a few trees, I took of my cloak and used it to put it underneath her head. She looked at me with fainted eyes. I was beyond angered.

Willow: let me see them
Crimson: see what?
Willow: your eyes, one last time

I took my helmet off and for filled her wish.

Willow: no...not those eyes...I wanna see your true eyes

I couldn't manage but to laugh and get rid off my anger. My eyes changed from their golden and crimson blood eyes to my green ones. She smiled. Happiness filled her face.

Willow:...I don't get it...
Crimson: save your strength...the doctor is on his way
Willow: your a Sith...but...most of the time your not like one
Crimson: I don't understand
Willow: that's the thing...your here...helping me, another would of discarded me
Crimson: you know my standards
Willow: yet you care
Crimson: the Sith care...they care for what they want
Willow: what was I for you?
Crimson: ...

I then see her smile disappear, she looked sad and destroyed.

Willow: that's what I thought...for once in your life...can you please...

She then starts crying.

Willow: C-crimson...please...be human, that's the only thing I wish

I was shocked with this new revelation, she then smiles, she brings both our heads together and for a moment our lips connect...it was short but sweet...nice and simple...didn't last more than 5 second but it felt like all the time I needed. Never did I knew what was a kiss from someone else. She then passed out from the lost of blood.

Crimson: Willow?...Willow?...can you hear me? Please, don't...don't leave me like this...

I was beyond destroyed, I don't wanna see her die...I don't want her to die. I couldn't help myself but to scream.

Ruby POV

We were fighting the last of the invasion of white fang members. But I don't know how much longer can we hold, our auras are low and we're all tired. To top it off, it also began to rain heavily.

Time skip 2 minuets

We saw 3 ships came in to our position. Once they land we see Soldiers come out of them. They took their weapons and started shooting the other's on sight. It was yet again a slaughter. They tried to defend themselves but not even the armor or bodies of their fallen comrades could sirve as shield from their weapons. They died on the spot. I couldn't hold myself anymore. I collapsed on my own and started crying recalling all those men and women killed...no, this was massacre.

Pyrrha POV

We just finished taking care of the remaining white fang members. The last one was taken care from the one I think is in charge. He then came at me, looked at me and then with a serious tone approached me.

???: where is Master Barren?
Pyrrha: I don't kn-
???: here Alex

I then turn around and see Barren walking towards us holding Willow in his arms. Almost numb, my heart sank, all the troops came running at him, they took her and put her in a medical bed.

???: she's stable, but she has lost a lot of blood, there's no time, we need to go back Sir
Barren: understood

They then leave and disappear out of sight. Barren then came towards us. I then got a good look at his face. I was shocked, his crimson hair...green eyes. It couldn't.

Crimson POV

I was walking with Alex towards one of the ships until I felt a pull from my hand. I then look at Pyrrha crying but happy at the same time.

Pyrrha: C-Crimson?

To my surprise I then touched my face to reveal I didn't had my mask on. I didn't had a choice but to answer.

Crimson: yes







Boom !!! Cliff Hanger, hoped you leve it and I'll see ya soon. Hope you have a wonderful Day/Night and I'll see ya in the next one BYE!!!!
