Chapter 36

I still can't believe it....

Well... as shocked as you may be you seen it with your own eyes....

But.... I... They need to know....

Heh. Don't think that's gonna happen soon mortal....

(Y/N) View

You put the lime in the coconut and drink them both up! You put the lime in the coconut and drink them both up! You put the lime in the coconut-

Shut the hell up!!!

I growled in frustration at that infuriating song!

Oh, well I had to do something to distract myself.

*sigh* You really know how to ruin the moment....

I sighed as I glanced at the sleeping, bare naked Cinder laying next to me. Yep. Had off screen sex with Cinder too.

....Also didn't you say that you feel everything I do?

............yeah.....

Well I'm having fun for the both of us!

*knock knock knock*

I sat upright and looked at the closed door to my room.

"The Queen requests your presence! I don't care what you're doing in there but hurry up!" I heard Phoenix shout through the door.

"Tch." I grunted in annoyance but sighed knowing that Salem needed me.

I glanced at Cinder's naked form on last time before getting up and picking up my clothes from off the ground. Just as I was about to head out the door I some shuffling behind me and a seductive voice.

"Leaving so soon~?"

My hand froze on the doorknob before I responded. "Well duty calls." I glanced over my shoulder to see Cinder sitting upright and using the cover to cover her breasts. "Don't worry though. I'll be back for our trip to Beacon."

"Good. I'll see you soon~" She smiled with a wink.

I really hope not.... o_o||

Shut up.

With my own smile I looked back towards the door and left. I walked down the long dark hallways towards the large throne room. Once I entered the large and spacious room, I stood right at the end of the long table as Salem sat quietly at her throne and Phoenix stood next to her like a lapdog.

"Morning Salem." I greeted.

"Good Morning to you as well (Y/N)." Salem said with an emotionless look on her face.

"So you called for me?" I asked.

"Yes (Y/N), I require your assistance a relatively small, but important, task for you." Salem spoke. "I need you and Falcon to travel into the wilds of the castle to take care of an asset of ours. Falcon shall inform you on the details during your travel there."

"An asset?" I questioned but she elaborate on it.

"Come on." Phoenix said in an annoyed tone before he started walking towards me.

"Yeah yeah yeah." I brushed him off as he walked past me.

When I turned around Salem spoke again. "This may be difficult to face but do not let your mind slip."

I glanced at her from over my shoulder but her face was still emotionless but her voice was definitely more stern than when she spoke beforehand. I raised a brow but I nodded and quickly followed after the lapdog.

Timeskip

"Okay, explain to me why we're out here?" I asked Phoenix as I followed behind him.

Salem's domain.... or better known as the realm of the Grimm. A nightmarish land with a dark red sky, a dark purple ground, and multiple black pools that birth Grimm into the world..... And we're out here for some reason.

"We're out here because the Queen heard of your ability to understand Grimm and wants to use that ability to her advantage." He said without even glancing at me.

"Why? Can't she just snap her fingers and they'll listen?"

"Yes she can. There isn't any Grimm she can't control." He stated matter a fact.

"Except....." I smirked, knowing that I caught him.

".....Except for one." He said with a growl.

"See? Was that so hard?" I asked, which caused him to turn around and glare at me.

"Shut up." He glared.

"Oh calm down Falcon. You wouldn't want your precious "Queen" to get her uncontrollable Grimm later than she should, do you?" I asked which made him turn around with a growl.

"Don't call me that!"

"Brings back memories doesn't it? Oh a certain mother?" I smirked which only made him growl louder.

"Just shut up and listen. The Grimm may be an obstacle we'll have to deal with but its not our main priority." He held up the bag in his hand. "We have to feed the prisoner."

Prisoner?

"What, you guys keep someone out here and expect them to still be alive?" I asked.

"Yes. She's capable of defending herself but there's no way she can escape without exhausting herself before more Grimm kill her."

"She sounds powerful."

"Incredibly so. But can be bested like anyone else."

After a few minutes of traveling we came across a mountain that oddly has dark clouds surrounding the top.

"We're here." Phoenix stated.

"Ominous!" I said. "So where's the Gr-"

Before I could finish my sentence the whole mountain shook as a VERY loud roar was heard.

"Okay..... What the hell was that?" I asked.

"A dragon." He stated calmly.

"......THE FUCK?!"

.....Huh.... I guess I was wrong. O_O!

"What the hell do you mean there's dragon?" I asked.

"Up there. Right now. Is a Dragon. Now shut up, and let's get the job done." Phoenix said.

"I'm seriously going to kill you one day. With no regrets." I said before another loud roar shook the ground. "He's coming."

We both looked up just as we saw a large figure slowly emerge from the clouds above. A set of claws legs showed themselves first before the giant mass of the body, the large black n red wings, and that majestic looking armored face of his.

"This has to be the coolest thing that I've ever saw." We, me and the idiot, admitted as the dragon started heading down.... towards us. "Oh shit."

With a massive boom the dragon landed on its wings and hind legs as it glared at us with its glowing red eyes. It was like it was studying us with a gaze like that. But then the dragon opened its massive jaws and let out a loud roar so powerful that Phoenix and I skid back a little.

"Well aren't you a beauty." I said as I looked at the dragon.

"Tch. What did it say?" Phoenix asked.

"Well he-" The dragon let out a loud growl. "She said 'You have invaded my territory humans. I'd advise you to leave immediately unless you'll regret the consequences. Unless either of you are worth my precious time then leave.'." I said.

"Or?"

I glanced over at him with a blank look. "What the hell do you think "or" means in this situation?"

"Tch. Why should we have to prove ourselves? We only came here for the prisoner lizard." Phoenix hissed.

"Unless you want to die from arrogance then let me talk." I spat. "First off that dragon is a her. A real lady that can easily kill you in a fight. But as much as I would LOVE fighting a dragon I know that I'm not strong enough to win... yet. Anyways all she said was "prove yourself to be worthy" which means all you have to do is peek her interest. And you know how easily I can do that with girls." I smirked.

"I doubt with your "charms" she'll just swoon over you." He retorted as he dusted himself off.

"Let's see."

I walked over the dragoness with a smile as she looked down at me with a bored gaze. But once she saw me smiling the gaze became more curious.

Pfft... my charms won't work. I'm glad this body has these odd charms.

Uh.... thank you? o_o

"*Ahem* Hello my lovely lady." I said with a bow. "I must excuse my incompetent.... associate here. A beautiful girl such as yourself must have many things to do so I understand your anxiousness. But I can assure you.... I'm worth the while."

With a smirk I raised my arms a bit as I activated my semblance, but unlike the other times I made sure I was flashy.

"Haaaaaaa!" As my hair darkened and spiked upwards, my eyes turned grey, and dark flame slowly appearing around me, darks clouds from above started to circle around and spark off lightning. I could definitely see the dragon look at me intensely as if completely interested in my semblance. Once I was done I let the dragon inspect me as her once bored look turned completely curious of me.

"Now, dear lady. May I have a private conservation with you within your home?" I asked politely.

She continued to inspect me but a low growl, which could be translated to a simple "yes", escaped from the fangs of the dragon. She lowered her head to the ground, allowing me to climb aboard her with a smirk.

"The bag birdie." I gestured the bag with a smirk. He scowled but tossed the bag to me, which I caught. "Tell our precious Queen that everything's going as planned." I told him as the dragon started flapping her gigantic wings and flew up her mountain.

It only took a few seconds for her to already reach the top, giving me a view of the mountain, which actually has an hollowed out inside (meaning an inactive volcano with zero lava). As I peeked over I, regrettably, leaned over to much and... well slipped off.

I had zero time to even react before I fell face first into the stone ground.

CRASH!

"Fuck that hurt!" I shouted in pain. I lifted my face from the ground and sat on my legs. "How many times is that going to-Fuck!"

I cursed again when I was suddenly tackled by something in a blur. Whatever it was, it caused us to roll for a bit before the mystery thing was on top of me. What ever it was it was heavy enough to knock us both to the ground.

My first instinct was to punch through whatever just jumped on me.... but my eyes widened when I saw a face. A face that (Y/N)'s memory says that she's dead....

"I didn't think that you would be saving me..... Sweetie."

I-It can't be! B-But she's dead?!

The woman's silver eyes showed nothing but pure happiness as she looked down at me with a smile. She looks completely identical to the woman in this body's memories so there's no denying it; This is Summer Rose.

"I never thought I'd ever see you again!" Summer said as she got off of me and stood up.

".....But I never met you before." The idiot said.

"Huh? You don't remember me? But I would always....-Ohhhh! Uh, that mayyyyy have been my fault... Hehe...." She laughed pretty nervously....

Flashback 10 years ago

3rd Person View

Back at the desolated city of Mount Glenn stood the tall skyscraper of the metropolis. It was destroyed and missing whole chunks of it, but it was still standing. The building lost its purpose a long time ago but a young boy seemed to found another use for it....

On top of this giant building was a set of doors that led to the stairwell to all 250 floors.... which is equivalent to....

"10 kilometers!" An 11 year old (Y/N) shouted as he busted through the doors.

He barely managed to walk a few more steps before he nearly collapsed on the ground. He wobbled from side to side as he walked closer to the edge of the rooftop, giving him a great view of the city.

"I *huff* never want to do that again! *huff*" He huffed.

Then suddenly, I mean out of nowhere, Summer appeared right next to the young boy with a pile of white rose petals falling around her.

"Hey sweetie!" She greeted.

Completely shocked that some woman popped out of nowhere, (Y/N) jumped in shock.... which lead to him stumble and fall off the building.....

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-!"

BOOM!

Summer could only peek over the ledge and stare wide eyed at what happened to him.

"Uh.... Oops?" O_O||

Mini Timeskip

"I'm soooooo sorry sweetie! I didn't mean to scare you like that!" Summer apologised.

However, (Y/N) was STILL upside down as he originally fell head first off the building. He was fine... well not dead...

"Everything is spinning.... and pain!" @_@ (Y/N) groaned.

"I'm sorry!" She cried. Summer quickly reached into her pocket and pulled out a bag of cookies. "Here! I made these for you!"

She took one of the cookies and, kind of forcefully, put it into your mouth. She kinda had to make you chew it before your eyes widened and you ate the cookie on your own.

"Mmmmm~"

"Hehe! I see you like them." Summer gave a soft smile.

Due to (Y/N) having his mouth full, or the fact that he's probably suffering a concussion, he nodded.

"Well I made a bag of them for you! I know it's not much but it'll last you a few weeks if you-"

Summer stopped when she noticed that, the now rightside up, (Y/N) had stuffed all the cookies in his mouth. She stared wide eyed at him for a few moments before smiling again.

"Hehe! You must have been hungry or my baking is just that good!" She put her hands on her hips triumphently.

And once again, (Y/N) nodded.

"Well I can see you must be holding up pretty well here...." She glances around. "....despite, y'know, the Grimm." She looked back at the boy. "I still don't get why Raven would just.... *sigh* but I guess that wasn't her fault..." She noticed that you had your had tilted in confusion. "Oh! Uh, Raven and I was friends.... once...." Her smile wavered but remained. "...I still need talk about that... Oh! I almost forgot! My name is Summer! Nice to meet you."

You swallowed your last cookie and responded back...

"I-I'm (Y-(Y/N)."

That wasn't nervousness.... that was the concussion....

Back to now

"....yeah. I'm not entirely sure if you remember that day..." Summer said as she finished her story.

I stood there, in disbelief and realization, as I just stared at the cheery woman in front of me.

This.... actually explains some things. I thought you were just an idiot but this woman clearly given you brain damage.

......I'm not an idiot! Q_Q

"Soooooo..... What are you doing here?" She asked.

"To feed you." I said blankly before tossing the bag to her.

"Thank you kind sir." She smiled as she caught the bag. She quickly unzipped the bag and pulled out a red apple. "So... how's life?"

"It's... interesting to say the least." I shrugged. "Yours?"

"It's Uh, boring?" She gestured around the empty crater we're in. "I mean... it has been for years now..."

"And how exactly did you get here....?" The idiot said, but it wasn't a bad question.

"Oh...." She looked off to the side. "....I... it's a long story.... I've been here for so long....-Well...." Her cheery attitude came back as she looked up to think. "....there was this one time I escaped...."

Flashback

"Wooooohooooooo!!!" Summer shouted.

ROAR!

The Nevermore, which had the renowned Huntress on its back, roared in annoyance as it glided through the sky.

Back to now

.......I.... have no words for that

......This is DEFINITELY Ruby's mom. o_o||

"So, how did you kill the drag-!"

Suddenly, the woman's eyes glowed brightly as she shot her gaze behind her as the Grimm Dragon landed on the other side of the room. Despite that the Grimm was on the other side of the room, her massive jaws was a few away from us. It hissed loudly but Summer's gaze only grew brighter and brighter causing the Grimm to stay back and hiss.... but the same went for me.

It was this strange pain that went through my entire body. It was burning me from the inside out!

"Arghhhh!" I hissed and held my head tightly.

Huh?

Wait I can-!

"(Y/N)!" Summer said in a worried tone.

She quickly turned back around and rushed over to me to make sure I was okay. Her eyes being so close made me feel so weak... but slowly her glowing eyes went back to normal.

I-NO!

"Are you okay sweetie?"

I growled before pushing her back, barely a nudge from how weak I felt but a push none the less.

"You!" I hissed. "Do that again and I'll cut you down where you stand!"

She looked taken back by my words. "W-What?"

"I'm not your savior mortal and I'm not that idiot you think I am! I'm simply using this wretched body to further the goals of my mother! Salem!" I yelled. "My only job was to give you the food, nothing else!"

Summer just stared at me in shock, but that didn't matter to me. I quickly walked past her, bumping shoulders with her, before going up to the dragon. I stroked her snout a few times before getting ready to climb up. But before I did I felt Summer grab my arm. I stopped my movements as she spoke.

"Don't be like them (Y/N).... I know deep inside of you is goodness. Don't let this evil control you." She said.

I growled as I snatched my arm away from her, then climbed onto the neck of the Dragon. Once I knew I was properly on the neck I gave the prisoner a death glare.

"Don't expect for some miracle Rose. This body is under my ownership and with it, I'll lay waste to everything." My glare intended. "....Including your precious Rose."

As if the dragon knew how to give off an evil exit, she gave one hard flap of her wings and we were already in the air. Then she flew towards Salem's castle.

Hehehe....

What's so funny mortal?

Nothing....

A smirk unconsciously spread across my mouth....
..............

That was the mental recap that continued to replay though my head. I'm not sure if it's my will that's remembering that over and over again or the idiot's.

I still can't believe it....

Well... as shocked as you may be you seen it with your own eyes....

But.... I... They need to know....

Heh. Don't think that's gonna happen soon mortal.... but right now I'm just going to enjoy the festivities while they last....

"And that's the match! Team RWBY is victorious!" Professor Port announced through the speakers as the crowd cheered.

"Wait what?!" I blurted out of realization. "Damn it! I missed the fight...."

"Hey.... keep it down. We don't want you blowing your cover the first few hours of getting here." Emerald, who was sitting in the chair to my left, whispered over to me with a slight glare.

"*sigh* Guess you're right.... but I didn't snap someone's neck for these clothes for no reason." I whispered over to her.

"I'm gonna have to disagree with that." Mercury, who was to my right, said.

I redirected my gaze to him and glared. "Unless you want so arms that match your legs then I'd advise you to stop talking Mercury."

He flinched a bit. "Okay okay.... jeez."

"Well since the match is over we need to do some recon." I said as I got up from my seat and stretched my arms.

As I do so, I couldn't help but look down and admire that victim's ominous sense of clothing. A long all black hooded robe that reached all the way down to my ankles, but underneath was a (F/C) and red skintight suit similar to Cinder's, a pair of black shoes, and to top it all off a black face mask. So none of my features showed other than my (E/C) eyes but I looked badass and ominous at the same time.

I smirked to myself before glancing at Emerald. "You know what to do."

Emerald looked up at me and asked "And what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to find something to eat. I'm starving." I said before walking with the direction of the crowds of the audience as they headed towards the exits. "You'll do fine!"

I could basically hear Emerald's eyes rolling behind me.

Mini Timeskip

Now show me the bacon.....

I thought to myself as I glanced around the school grounds.

I want muffins.

How can you even eat? You're inside your own-

Nevermind, found one.

I stopped in my tracks.

The hell you mean you found one?

I found a muffin....

FROM WHERE?!

.....Muffin Butto-

Both our thoughts were cut off when we heard this one sentence.....

"GANGWAY!"

In less than a second I was flat on my back with someone on my chest.

.....I'm getting a real sense of Deja Vu here....

"I'm soooooo sorry!" An all too familiar voice said.

A really good sense of Deja Vu...

Slowly, my eyes locked with the person who fell on me... and, due to my luck, they were silver.

Ruby....

"I-I wasn't paying attention to where I was going! I'm so sorry!" Ruby apologised again as she quickly got off of me.

"It's fine..." I said as I got up and dusted myself off.

"Ruby!" Another familiar voice shouted.

Ruby and I looked behind us to see the rest of Team Rwby jog over to us.

"I know we said we were gonna eat but slow down." Yang said.

"Sorry." Ruby repeated as she scratched the back of her head. "But I'm hungryyyyy!!!

"That doesn't mean you should be knocking down people left and right, like him." Weiss scolded her as she gestured to me.

"It's fine." I said blankly.

"Hey, aren't you apart of Emerald's team? I hear some guys talking about your match." Yang asked.

"Yes.... and it was hardly a challenge." I told them as I crossed my arms.

"Heh. You're really confident." Yang said with a small smirk but I didn't respond back.

Blake, who hadn't spoken yet, says. "Well, we'll see your combat skills in the next rounds... but..." Blake stomach growls. "We're all starving right now."

"I guess we'll see you later!" Ruby cheerfully says her goodbye.

The team of girls turned to take their leave but Emerald arrived with a red wallet in her hand.

"Hey! Might be hard to eat without this." Emerald said as she walked up to us.

"Huh?" Ruby turns around to see her wallet before she starts patting herself in a panic. "No, no, no, no!"

"Good to see you, Ruby." Emerald giggles.

"Oh! Thanks, Emerald!" She takes her wallet back. "Oh. Guess I dropped it."

"What's up Em?" Yang asked.

"Just left the stadium after your amazing fight! You guys were awesome!" Emerald said with a fake smile.

"Oh, thanks." Ruby said.

"I heard your team progressed to the next round too." Blake said while taking a small glance at me.

"I heard that you guys crushed it." Yang said.

"Well I can't disagree." Emerald said.

"That's great. Uh, why don't we all go and get some victory food together?" Ruby offered.

"Oh, gosh, that's so nice of you, but my teammates are all kind of...." She glanced behind her to see Mercury sniffing his boot.... *sigh* Such a disappointment.... "....introverted. Really socially awkward."

"Yeah, I could see that." Yang agreed.

"Oh yeah, looks Silver and Mercury are going to move on to the doubles round." Emerald said as she patted my shoulder.

"Well, we voted that Weiss and Yang to going to the next round." Ruby said.

"I will happily represent Team Rwby." Weiss says with a little curtsy.

"Yeah, we're going to kick some butt!" Yang said as she pounds her fists together.

"Hehe, well I'm sure ours boys won't go easy on ya." Emerald said.

"Wouldn't have it any other way." Yang said.

"Alright, well we're going to catch some more fights." Emerald said as she turned around. "Come on Silver."

"Naw. I'm gonna head with them. I was looking for somewhere to eat." I told her.

"*sigh* Alright." She said before walking off.

"Bye." Ruby said before the girls started walking off.

I followed behind them soon after.

Heh... they're still the same old girls.... But I can easily tell Ruby isn't as cheery as she would be...

Well they most likely think you're dead.

Only if they knew I was here!

They can't and they won't. If they did then that would definitely fuck something up... for like five minutes. Remember they could easily die when this is all over.

We'll have see about that....

Yes we do... but right now I'm hungry.

I sighed before quickly catching up to the girls.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hey guys! I can finally say that Volume 3 has finally made it to this book!

And who expected Summer Rose to appear? I think I might have messed up part of my timeline with her but she's still here.

Also, I think I might have to go back and edit Chapters 34 and 35. Why? Well if you watched Volume 6 of Rwby to the end you know what Atlas really looks like. And I got it WAAAYYYY off. But I'll worry about that later.

I hoped you guys liked the chapter!
