(Howdy y'all, I've decided to make another story centered in the world of RWBY. This time with our lovely Ice Queen at the forefront. Upon rewatching the show recently, I found myself realizing that out of every girl in RWBY, Weiss Schnee captivated my heart with her growth in the series. For new readers, do note that I do my best to add my own elements of lore but I do try my best for it to fit inline with the world of RWBY for my stories to work so don't necessarily expect a 1 to 1 retelling of the show as honestly that'd be a bit boring to just have your character unnaturally try to fit in scenes he has no business being in. Also note this isn't gonna be like she falls in love with you at first sight, it would be VERY unrealistic given Season 1 Weiss's attitude buuut that's why we all love her huh? It'll be a bit of a slower burn compared to the other RWBY books I've made. Regardless, I hope you enjoy what I have in store, I present to you: The Reaver.)

Character Description:

(Note: My personal interpretation of what the Reaver looks like. Can obviously be changed to whatever your preference is. However, aspects like the Semblance and Age can't be changed.)

RWBY - (Volume 1) Chapter 1: Bloody Evolution

(??? Months Ago)

Sirens. The earliest memory you can recall is the blaring, piercing sounds of sirens overwhelming your senses. As your attuned ears twitch with every unending blare, you can feel your headache growing more intense. With only ominous crimson lighting just barely making out what's in front of you. The power to the facility is out, you don't remember how that occurred, all you can remember is that you need to run. You find yourself racing down what feels like endless corridors and doors as you hear what must be dozens of footsteps all messily stomping their way to you. Your lungs burn as you find yourself having to choose between two paths, there's no time to think. You choose the left path and continue sprinting with all of your might as you now hear the sounds of a voice screeching at you.

???: "Subject R5-VR get back here at once!" A man yells out, you come to a screeching halt as you heave, gasping for air as you've come to a dead end. Your eyes frantically look around every potential way of escape, but it's no use. You feel like a cornered animal as you look back to see several men dressed in white armor, armed with rifles rushing at you. Your heartbeat intensifies as you can feel every panicked throb in your chest, you can't go back, not again. The men aim their rifles, hearing them power up, ready to fire at you as your eyes widen before you hear the same voice from earlier yell.

???: "DON'T SHOOT THE SPECIMEN." The men continue to aim their rifles as they move out of the center of the hallway as a slim, well-dressed man with short hair and a distinct well-trimmed mustache comes through the crowd of armed men, his hands clasped behind his back as you freeze up in terror. "All of these theatrics and for what R5... We've already captured the other specimens. Come now, and this will all just seem like a bad dream." He says as his stache furls upwards, a barely perceivable smirk on his face.

You: "NO!" You ferally screech and bare your teeth, you seethe in a frightening rage as your back is against the wall. You feel your head's throbbing ache become numb as the grip on your sanity is slipping. You feel heat rising from your back, a sharp burning pain overwhelms you as you collapse to your knees in pain.

???: "R5, stand down this instant!" Your eyes flare with rage, glaring up at the man as you feel yourself become more feral with every passing moment. Something Primal within you has awoken as you feel unbearable pain rising from your spine. A dark ash colored jagged pattern is painfully spreading across your back and cresting over your chest. Harsh glowing crimson and amber cracks lay within this chaotic pattern, you feel the three diode cylinders in your shoulders flare out, steaming with a soft amber color emanating from them, several strands of your hair now taking on the properties of a violent pulsing amber. An obsidian colored visor clamping shut on your eyes as you're on the verge of completely going psychotic "He's destabilizing, subdue him at once!" The man yells, waving his arm to give the order to fire. Your eyes flare a bright amber as you can feel mechanisms and gyros whirring within you before violently catapulting yourself towards the crowd.

(??? Months Later)

You wake up in a shock as you sit up, gasping for air in a panicked state. Your head sporadically looks around only looking at the extremely worn down walls and cracking ceiling above you, back at the crappy abandoned apartment you've been held up in for the past few weeks. You slowly begin to relax upon realizing that it was solely a nightmare. Your heartbeat returning to its normal pace as you turn to look over at I6-NS. His thin glasses reflect the harsh yet flickering artificial lights above you directly into your eyes. You flinch and rub your eyes as they burn from fatigue. Your blurry vision adjusts and focuses on your comrade. Seems he's already dressed for the day sporting his signature indigo and black patterned dress shirt with black slacks. His light ash brown hair swept up at the front of his hairline as he looks at you with his arms crossed. You glance over at the clock on the wall, seeing that it's currently 1:37 AM.

You: Specks, buddy... I love getting woken up at 1 am as much as the next guy, but could you also I don't know...NOT do that?" You say with a rather snarky attitude, you feel the diodes in your shoulders raise up slightly, ejecting steam, you glance at them as you groan. You're running on empty.

I6: "Unfortunately for us, we don't have that luxury. Come on, the store across the industrial section just unloaded a new shipment of Dust a few hours ago." You and I6 have been busy since entering Vale the past few weeks. You've learned that Vale by far has the largest Schnee Dust Company exports in all of Remnant, you and I6 were already on the run from Atlas for SEVERAL reasons so for someone who needs Dust to keep your implants functioning properly it was a no brainer for you both to head to Vale. I6 is quite a bit more sympathetic than you are in having to steal Dust from these stores but in your eyes you're simply 'liberating' it from the clutches of that corrupt Schnee company. Despite not really remembering anything, the name Schnee just irks you in a special way.

You: "Yeah, yeah... What a pain." You say unamusingly, getting up as you look at the half broken mirror that was left in the room from whoever the previous owners were. As you always sleep shirtless, you take a few moments to look at your body. You've gained a nice amount of muscle than when you first escaped the facility. Sadly, you're still quite self-conscious about the precise surgical scarring around your chest and torso. Patches of your body have been replaced with healed yet still slightly visible skin grafts and small pieces of machinery nestled right above where your heart should be with a dimly lit amber core embedded in your chest. The 3 diode cylinders in each shoulder all hum softly before you regrettably glance at your back. Looks just as bad as you remember, a large surgical scar trails down your entire spine, with several small pieces of metal scattered sporadically across your back. All for the sake of 'strength', regardless the pain's gone now from those initial surgeries even if the scars can never truly be removed.

You throw your shirt on which...REALLY needs to be washed before putting on your dark crimson jacket you had 'liberated' from a clothing store. You extend your hand and wait a few moments, your eyes narrow slightly as you notice your board hasn't woken up yet. You glance over in the corner to see your steelpunk style board still not being called to you. It's somewhat messily slapped together with grey and black pieces of industrial titanium all aligned to make out the basic shape. You've since sharpened the front edge of the board to give it some more combat versatility while its center has small bits of wiring and inner welding and its Gravity Dust centered core lying exposed. You've named it the Empyrean Cyclone but right now you might as well call it the piece of crap. You extend your hand several times, each time with slightly more annoyance as eventually the board flickers and lights up with a dim amber glow, its oscillating metal blade fans sputtering to life as the gravity dust embedded within it causes it to lift off of the ground and hover over to your hand. It collapses from its full length and folds in half, now being much easier to carry. Its likely running low on Dust as well, you pinch the bridge of your nose tiredly. (Design is reminiscent of Ekko's Hoverboard from Arcane)

You: "You think we'll end up running into that one dude with the bowler hat again?" You ask while you hook your collapsed Empyrean onto your back, seeing that I6 picks up his fountain pen from a half-slanted table, placing it into his pocket before thinking to himself for a few moments.

I6: "I doubt it, they just hit one of the stores by the residential zone a few days ago. The probability that we'd see him again is next to zero." Ever since you've both started 'liberating' Dust from nearby stores you've had a few encounters with a man with bright orange hair wearing a peculiar bowler hat, each encounter seems to annoy him even further so you're honestly kind of hoping you do see him juuust to see his reaction.

You: "I bet you 5 Lien he will." I6 groans, pushing his glasses up revealing his emerald colored eyes constricting into vertical predator-like slits.

I6: "I'd take you up on that offer if it weren't for the fact that you're flat broke." You tut and begin to head out the door with your finger raised.

You: "Ah, ah, ah my friend. Weee'reee broke." You state with a sly smirk

(1 Hour Later)

You've don your hood now, doing your best to act as inconspicuous as possible while walking down the street. While there hasn't been anything more than the odd eyewitness account, You and I6 have been avoiding the authorities for a while now as it seems like surprise, surprise they don't enjoy you steali- er liberating Dust from random stores. You both reach the end of the block before peeking your head out as you lock eyes with a quaint little shop called "From Dust Till Dawn" that's quite an adorable name.

You: "Alright, what's the plan Specks?" You crouch down while I6 looks around the corner as his eyes constrict into thin slits, he mumbles to himself for a moment. You impatiently tap your fingers against your knee as he stops mumbling, his head tilting in confusion.

I6: "Curious." You glance up at him confused

You: "What's up?"

I6: "From what I can gather, there's several men in there...one girl." You groan as you stand back up, dusting yourself off before stretching your arms slightly. Gripping your Empyrean as it hisses and extends back to its full length.

You: "So we gotta do this all stealthy?" You carry your Empyrean Cyclone in your arm beginning to walk out onto the street.

I6: "...Perhaps not?" His voice murmurs out as you look at him quite confused. You're just about to speak before suddenly you hear glass being shattered, your eyes immediately looking to the Dust shop. Seeing a man skidding across the pavement, a girl bursting through the window now. She's slowly gets up as you take a closer look at her, her red hood flowing in the wind as your eyes widen in surprise seeing a massive mechanical blood red scythe extends seemingly extends outwards of her hand. That's...new to say the least. You glance past the girl with the unexpectedly badass scythe to see lo and behold, the bowler hat guy.

You: "Looks like you owe me 5 Lien, Specks." You give a cheeky smile to I6 as he rolls his eyes unamused. I6 begins to walk towards the store but you hold out your Empyrean to the side to stop him. You notice that the bowler hat man is scowling at the red hooded girl. Who simply twirls her large scythe around her in a elegant yet powerful flourish, slamming the tip of the blade into the ground as it digs into the ground itself slightly. You can gently hear the music she was blasting from her earphones, she clicks them as the music stops. You whistle in slight astonishment "Hold up a sec Specks, I wanna see how this goes." I6 looks at you confused before he simply shrugs. You speaking causes the bowler hat guy to glance over at you, which in turn makes the red hooded girl glance back, she seems confused. "Heeeeyy bowler hat guy, missed us?"

Bowler Hat Guy: "Oh son of a...As if my night couldn't get any worse, you just continue to prove me wrong." You stick your tongue out playfully at him, as his brow furls down in anger the girl in red just keeps looking back and forth between you both. "Okayyy..." He turns to his remaining henchmen as they look at him confused "Get her! Then focus on those two knuckleheads."

Almost instantly they rush over at the girl in the red hood, I6 tries stepping forwards again but you simply just hold him back with your board. She certainly doesn't seem like she needs the help as she slightly dodges out of the way of the first henchman's swing, using her momentum to jumps on top of her massive scythe before spinning her legs around and harshly kicking the first henchman that unfortunately ran headfirst into her. The man goes flying back, still using her momentum to fling herself upwards, her weapon now out of the ground as she lands on the ground stylishly before she... fires it like a gun? It's also a gun? Alright new information there, regardless, the recoil from firing her weapon causes her to spin violently towards another approaching henchman. She bursts her scythe upwards to cause the man to careen through the air, you glance upwards to see that the man is quickly falling right towards you. You and I6 both take one giant step to the side as he plummets down next to you. While he's out, you scoop down and rummage through his back pocket. Finding a red vial of Burn Dust as I6 looks at you disapprovingly.

You shrug focusing back on the fight as she fires her weapon again, bringing down the butt of her scythe on top of another unfortunate man. You see rose petals being strewn about the area, you look at this strange girl confused, your eyes widening as you notice that one of the henchmen has his gun raised directly at her, you quickly toss out your Empyrean as it hums to life. You jump onto it as it flares forward with shocking speed, you twist your leg and body to fling the board upwards, holding onto it with one hand while the other hand skids along the ground. The Empyrean connecting violently with the jaw of the last henchman, it causes him to fly upwards as the girl jumps up above you with incredible speed before slamming her scythe down at the airborne henchman, his body slams into the pavement with a satisfying crash right next to the Bowler Hat guy's feet.

Bowler Hat Guy: "You were worth every cent. Truly, you were." He grumbles sarcastically while dropping his cigar and crushing it with his cane, you hear police sirens steadily approaching as your eyes widen. Crap you need to move soon, getting caught by the police for your various 'liberations' would certainly not be a good way to end the night. "Well, Red, Amber, Four Eyes. I think we can all say it's been an eventful evening, and as much as I'd love to stick around... You watch him raise his cane at you. You scoff, what does he plan to do with- the bottom of the cane opens with a target reticle on it. You narrow your eyes perplexed. "...I'm afraid this is where we part ways."

You: "Ah crapbaske-" The bowler hat guy unleashes a bright red blast at the two of you. The girl fires her scythe down at the ground which causes her to propel upwards but you weren't so lucky you swerve your body upon your hoverboard to cause the blast to directly hit your Empyrean instead. You are catapulted back, skidding across the ground painfully as your amber colored aura shimmers across your back before shattering. I6 runs up next to you, checking to see if you're okay before taking out his fountain pen from his pocket.

I6: "You REALLY need to learn how to dodge." You look at him with a very annoyed face, groaning while sitting up from the ground you glance to see where the bowler hat guy was only to see that he's gone. The red hooded girl looks back at you with worry in her silver eyes.

Red Hooded Girl: "Are you alright!?" You cough before giving a weak thumbs up as I6 helps you off of the ground. You watch the bowler hat guy climb the ladder of a nearby building, the girl then turns to the shopkeeper who's now walking out the front door. "Is it okay if I go after him?" The shopkeeper gives a short 'Uh huh', and the girl sets off. You glance over back at the shopkeeper who's now staring at both of you, this was certainly not how you expected tonight to go...buuut maybe it's not all lost. The shopkeeper slowly walks over to attempt to pick up a black container, you close your eyes and sniff the air. It's faint but you can definitely recognize the scent of Dust in that container, a good amount of it too.

You: "Oh here sir! Let me help you with that." I6 sighs, facepalming. You smirk while approaching the container, the man looks at you with a stern expression. You tilt your head in confusion as you watch the man stand between you and the container. "Oh- listen old man, I'm just trying to-" He then pulls out his Scroll, it's extremely blurry but he shows a picture of what you presume to be you on your Empyrean along with I6 frantically running from the police with a large trail of Dust crystals and powder behind you both. Your eyes widen "Whaaaa, you think that's us??? I'm frankly...APPALED sir that you could ever think that's us. That could be annyyyoonne on a hoverboard." He solely crosses his arms unamused as you feel a bead of sweat go down your face.

I6: "R5, we've got company!" He shouts, you watch as several police cars start barreling their way towards you both. I6 clicking his fountain pen as it extends and unfolds several times, fully becoming a lavish silver and lavender spear with the pen's tip acting as the blade now fully sharpened. You believe he's started calling this weapon of his Kanagawa. (Example of his weapon shown below)

You: "Ah- well uh- can't say this hasn't been fun but- OH MY GOD, LOOK AN URSA!" You point in a random direction as the old man looks towards where you pointed confused, you quickly hop on your Empyrean, it flares with an auburn color as you swerve past the man and swiftly pick up the container filled with Dust. The man shouts angry old people noises at you with his fist shaking in the air, you quickly maneuver your way to I6, holding out your arm as he quickly takes it. You yank him up onto your board behind you, now heading straight for the police cars that aren't slowing down. You maneuver your body upwards, your board following suit as you just barely are able to hop over the careening cars, their tires screech as your Empyrean scrapes off the edge of one of the cars. "Block the road!"

I6 nods as he closes his eyes, his indigo Aura shimmering as his Kanagawa glows a indigo color. He begins aiming his pen-spear in the air before elegantly beginning to write in the air a trail of an ink-like glowing substance now being left behind by his movements. His Semblance is fittingly called Canvas, it allows for his Aura to be harnessed and expressed through his writing which will come to life. He expertly draws an ink-like barrier before outstretching his hand as it flickers an indigo color before growing in size, completely blocking the path behind you both. You laugh upon evading the police once again before your attention gets caught looking up at the building that the red hooded girl went up. You notice that it seems like an all out war is taking place up there, several streaks of purple flares striking at an Atlesian airship, dark storm clouds now spiraling above the aircraft.

You: "What the-" You and I6 are stunned watching the spectacle of flashing particles, lights and flames being tossed around. Your mind flashes back to the red hooded girl, will she be okay in all of this? You feel yourself wanting to turn towards them but you've already got what you needed...it's not your problem anymore, right? I6 places a hand on your shoulder, you glance back at him as he gives you a serious look. You look down and sigh it takes you a moment to finally convince your stupid brain to follow through with this "Fine, fine, FINE! I'm going but I'm not gonna like it!"

With a loud whir you fling your body to face upwards before stomping your foot on the front of your board, its amber color flaring before shifting to a violet color, now hugging the wall of the building as you careen your way to the roof. You and I6 look to see that now along with the airship, the girl in red and the bowler hat guy there seems to be a woman there with blonde hair, glasses and a sporting a purple cape, a wand in her hand. Damn she is VERY attractive, you snap yourself out of the slight trance looking at the woman. The girl in red glances back at you, looking slightly relieved while the woman seems VERY annoyed by your presence. You quickly open the black container you 'liberated', seeing a plethora of different Dust powders. You grab a small red vial as you open it, a bit of Dust spilling out when doing so. The girl in red along with the woman with glasses look at you confused.

Woman with Glasses: "What are you doi-!?"

Before she gets the chance to properly yell at you, you place the vial up to your lips before beginning to chug it down, it's an strong metallic and generally awful taste but oddly enough has the slightest hint of cherry flavor that fills your tastebuds, the Dust goes down your throat with one big gulp. You close your eyes as you throw the empty glass vial on the ground, it shatters as your Aura flares with a violent shimmer and begins to change colors, the diodes in your shoulders flaring upwards with a crimson red color and ejecting steam, your spine burns as it dimly lights up. You feel yourself getting psyched up as you stomp on your board, a small burst of flaming embers come from your foot, the board flies upwards and spins tremendously in the air, the oscillating fans expanding and splitting apart. It switches and transforms into a proper work of ingenuity that you are damn proud of, your Empyrean's hybrid rail-gun blade mode. Its original amber core now humming with a crimson color. You aim the tip of your blade as it surges with power, the center of your blade beginning to emit a dim crimson glow as your Aura shimmers for a moment.

(Railgun-Hybrid Form Example)

You pull the trigger to your blade as a precise beam of molten flames explodes from your blade, the force from your blade causes you to skid backwards, the beam jettisons itself right into the Atlesian airship causing it to be thrashed backwards, a decent sized scorch mark now being left from the blast, your weapon hisses as you focus your Aura into your feet, getting low to the ground, readying yourself. Brilliant flames beginning to blast outwards from your feet as the servos in your leg muscles contract and whir violently as you explode upwards right to the ship. You ready your blade as this time a steady beam of flames cover the center of your blade, you plunge your sword directly into one of the Atlesian airship's wings, you glance up to see fiery black glass shards are barreling towards you. You go to raise your blade to defend yourself only to see several small ink-versions of foxes dash in front of you. These ink-foxes take the hits for you as they explode into ink splotches on the ground before they fade away. Suddenly an enormous ink-fox head forms and bites down on the ship, It burns a glowing red color before it was exploded by the woman in the ship. You glance back down to see the red hooded girl utterly starstruck upon seeing both your and I6's weapons with a dorky look on her face.

Suddenly you feel the airship lurch violently, you feel yourself got knocked over and fly off of the ship, you quickly toss your blade downwards as it flips and shifts back into its board mode, landing on it safely. You feel your Aura quickly draining, as your diodes flare upwards, ejecting more steam. Your aura's color returning to its original amber color. It seems like you needed a lot more than just that small vial to get you back up to speed. You glance up to see the bowler hat guy is no longer there, now a woman in a red dress stands there, her Dust infused clothing glows vibrantly. The woman with glasses blocks it, but the flame splatters behind her and glows hot as the red dress woman raises her hand. She back-flips out of the explosion, of which being so strong it destroys part of the roof, you stumble down to your knees only to see that those shattered pieces of the roof are gathering together to become a large makeshift arrow. Holy CRAP that's cool you think to yourself as it gets launched at the aircraft. Only for the woman inside the ship to blast it pieces, but then those pieces flare and reform to hit the side of the ship. The wreckage of the blast separates and reshapes into more arrows that encircle the airship, but before it could move in for the final blow the woman inside the ship summons several fiery rings around herself that expand violently and disintegrate the shards.

You glance over to see I6 continuously swinging out small arrows made of ink, the girl from earlier reverting her scythe into its rifle form and firing at the shop. Nothing seems to be doing any affect as she's simply blocking each attack. You see a dark blazing circle form right underneath you and I6, you feel your leg mechanisms whir to life as you dash and tackle I6 out of the way of the blast, you look up to see that the airship has flown away and now your decision dawns on you...WHY did you do that!? The woman with glasses is staring daggers at both you and I6

Red Hooded Girl: You're a Huntress!" Both you and I6's eyes widen in stark terror upon hearing that this woman is a Huntress. You should've figured as much from the level of skill she had but the confirmation simply put it all together. You both attempt to slowly step away from the conversation "Can I have your autograph?!"

Huntress: "And where do you think YOU two are going with that stolen container of Dust." CRAP, CRAP, CRAP you both freeze in place as she looks at you with her arms crossed. You feel a sense of utter terror creeping over you.

You: "I-uh-uhhh nowhere sir- I mean ma'am- huntress lady!" You both stand at attention as she glares at you both.

Huntress: "That's what I thought." You and I6 look down dejected as the red hooded girl looks over at you both confused.

(Hours Later)

You and I6 are now bound in handcuffs, both sitting in a interrogation room as you lean back against your chair, your eyes closed as that Huntress from earlier has been pacing back and forth in the room.

Huntress: "8 counts of burglary, 3 counts of aggravated assault, 9 counts of resisting arrest. These are all VERY serious charges, boys." She states while holding a tablet, listing off each of the crimes you've been involved in. Placing it down on the table as it clearly shows off various camera footage of you and I6 running from the police. "If it were up to me you'd both be handed straight to the police cause of your crimes."

You: "Hey, hey you've got no proof that those two very handsome individuals in that footage is actually us, and can you REALLY call that burglary? I personally think it's more like we- er... THEY are 'liberating' those items." You cheekily state while attempting to balance your chair on its back two legs as the huntress shoots you a glare, flicking her wand with a soft purple glow which forcibly causes the chair to fling back down as you lose your balance and hit your head against the metal table "OW!" You hold you head in pain as I6 simply has his eyes closed.

Huntress: "Quiet! As I was saying you'd be heading straight to jail if it wasn't for the fact that there's someone here who'd like to meet you." She says stepping to the side as a well dressed man in with shaded black spectacles and a green scarf steps into the room. He has grey hair and a mug in his hand as he steps towards you both. 

???: "Good evening gentlemen, do forgive my friend's temper, it's been a long night for us all." He says as the Huntress rolls her eyes and pushes up her glasses. "I must say, you both are a very intriguing case to say the least. We have no records of you in the slightest, we've checked for accounts of you both yet found nothing in our vast array of information. Yet from our footage you both seem like very experienced fighters equipped with the skills to design some of the most dangerous weapons I've seen in quite some time. So I must ask...who are you?" You and I6 glance at each other, neither of you really know that answer yourselves.

You: "Well...you'd think that would be an easy thing to answer but to be honest, I can't really tell you." The man pulls up a chair and sits across the table, leaning forwards with his hands clasped against the table, gesturing with his head for you to continue. "I'm-" You cut yourself off, a simple letter and number designation probably does not look good for you both. You try to think of a name that works perfectly for you, after a few moments you speak again "(First name) (Lastname)...yeah that works, I'm (F). I6- er...INARI (Lastname)and I here don't really remember much past a few months ago. Kind of annoying to be honest." I6 looks at you very confused by the sudden name change you've given the both of you. The man looks at you both with keen interest in his eyes.

???: "You've both developed a form of amnesia? Intriguing to say the least...that is, of course, unless you're lying to me." You look at him with a rather serious expression as he takes a few moments to stare into you and Inari's eyes. "But from what I can gather from your eyes it seems you're telling the truth. Which begs the question...from the recent string of crimes you both committed you had the perfect opportunity tonight to slip away without hassle, yet you decided to head back and help Miss Goodwitch, why?"

You: "Again another great question...that I really don't have the answer to...I just couldn't shake the feeling that I wanted to help. Maybe it was just seeing that someone was in trouble or something deeper within me just forced me to go up there but I couldn't walk away from that, which surprises even myself if I'll be honest."

Ozpin: "Do you know who I am, Mr. (L)?" You shake your head "I am Professor Ozpin, the Headmaster at Beacon Academy...I have a proposition for you if you'd like to hear it." You stay silently observing as he continues "I have the unique position to make these string of crimes...disappear if you understand what I'm saying."

You: "What's the catch huh?" You tilt your head at him, your eyes narrowed, you've quickly learned fromthe short period of time you can actually remember that people always seem to hide their true intentions.

Ozpin: "The 'catch' is for you both to join my school for one year. Allow those untapped skills of yours to be put to good use helping the people of Remnant." You groan, being a Huntsman never crossed your mind but it seems like a loooot of unnecessary work "After the first year is completed, I'll leave it up to you both on whether or not you'd like to continue your curriculum, by then your records will been wiped clean and you'll be free to go."

Goodwitch: "Professor Ozpin, you can't seriously be considering this?" The huntress you now know as Goodwitch interjects as he glances back. You glance downwards while thinking, you genuinely do not like the thought of essentially being forced to do this, but do you really have any other choice beside going to jail where...HE might find you? 

Inari: "She does raise a good point...why are you giving us this option?"

Ozpin: "Because when you live for as long as I have, you tend to know potential when you see it. It'd be a shame for that potential to never be fully realized...wouldn't you agree Mr. (L)?" He asks, looking at you. You take a few moments, well, more than a few moments to truly think and weigh your options.

You: "Fiiinnneee. We'll join this school of yours...but I won't like it." You grumble while rolling your eyes, being indoctrinated as a Huntsman in training is not how you thought your night was gonna go, you just hope the rest of this year goes by quick without any drama. Professor Ozpin chuckles while taking a sip from his mug.

Ozpin: "I look forward to seeing what you both can achieve during your tenure at Beacon Academy, truly." You sigh, glancing over at Inari as he seems far more excited to be doing this than you are. Well how bad could becoming a Huntsman really be.

(One Day Later)

You've been dreading this whole flight, surrounded by a bunch of bright-eyed teenagers while you're just sitting on your currently hovering Empyrean. Being a Huntsman is certainly not a line of work you find yourself enjoying. You already find people quite aggravating and you are not the most patient of people. You're simply riding backwards on your board, it slowly is moving backwards, you've completely tuned both the news that was playing earlier about the bowler hat guy who you learned their name was Roman Torchwick. Along with that you ALSO tuned out the entire welcoming message that Glynda Goodwitch gave as you only groan, Inari glances over at you while rolling his eyes.

Inari: "You act as if we're headed to prison, be grateful that Professor Ozpin gave us this chance to prove ourselves." You yawn, you couldn't care less to be completely honest.

You: "Look Inari, it's suuuper cool that you want to do this but heeerreee's the thing. I DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS! I'm only here cause the other option was heading to jail. I just want to get through this year so I can get on with my life." You murmur, your aren't exactly in the greatest mood at the moment, the fact that Professor Goodwitch made you give up all the items you've 'liberated' other than your jacket might've been a good cause of it.

Inari: "Well, I think if you allow yourself to, you can find ways to enjoy this experience we're now a part of." He states proudly while looking out of the window of the airship you're in all the while you just lean your back against your board looking up at the top of the airship not paying attention to where your board is slowly drifting to.

You: "Look I appreciate the enthusiasm but I don't think there's anything at this school that could possibly make me enjoy i-" While still hovering on your board backwards you feel yourself knock into something, you lose your balance as you completely fall off your board, you hear a girl's voice.

???: "Hey! Pay attention to where you're going, you delinquent!" You groan and hold your back in pain from falling, your eyes closed for a few moments not knowing who got in your way before slowly opening your eyes and glancing to see where the voice is coming from.

You: "Listen lady you should just watch where you're standi-" Your eyes look upon...an absolutely gorgeous fair skinned girl with pale blue eyes and long white hair who is standing above you, looking down at you disapprovingly. A scar trails down her left eye as her hair is pulled back into a braid on her right side that's pinned to her head with a silver, icicle-shaped tiara. You are taken aback by her truly, for the first time in your life, you feel speechless. You don't have a clever one-liner or witty retort for this you just...stare. Her stern pale blue eyes just look at you, narrowing ever so slightly as she takes a good look at you, her expression softening for just a moment. The faintest of a pink blush appears on her cheeks as unknown to you, you have quite the red face on at the moment. Her stern expression quickly returns as she clears her throat.

Girl in White: "What huh? Scrambled that brain of yours from that fall? I guess that would imply you had something in that head of yours in the first place." She says while crossing her arms, her hips slightly tilted. You look at her with an annoyed expression, quickly standing up to your feet, raising your hand as your Empyrean flies back into your hand. She glances back at your hoverboard with a 'hmph' noise, rolling her eyes "Of course a ruffian like you would have something as barbaric as THAT monstrosity."

You: "Hey now wait just a damn minute here, Ice Queen. The only barbaric thing around here is your manners." You know you should honestly just apologize but she called you emptyheaded and insulted your board so now you're juuusst gonna dig in your heels. This is a great plan.

Ice Queen: "Ice Queen!? Just who on Remnant do you think you are!?" She says getting up in your face as you both glare at each other intensely, with some rather expert sleight of hand you reach up behind her ear and smoothly take off one of her rectangular silver earrings without her even noticing.

You: "You got it right the first time, I'm just your standard ruffian." You say with a sly smirk, opening your palm showing her the earring she was just wearing. She gasps slightly, quickly reaching up to her ear now noticing that it was in fact stolen right from under her. Her cheeks flushing with a slight pink color in embarrassment. She swipes her earring out of your hand angrily as she does not care for your snarky attitude whatsoever.

Ice Queen: "Why- The nerve of-!" She stutters about to completely erupt on you before you both feel the airship slow to a halt. You both glance towards the airship's doors opening slowly as she sighs before taking a quick glance back at you, as if she was going to say something but she simply walks away, you glance over seeing that a few rather well dressed butlers quickly attempt to follow behind her, carrying her obscene amount of luggage before exiting angrily off of the ship...Despite that interaction going as wrong as it did...you can't lie, she was really cute. Her getting worked up made your heartbeat intensify, so...that's a feeling you suppose.

Inari: "Soooo...what was THAT about?" He says walking next to you as you watch the girl you've now labeled as Ice Queen walk away. You recognize that one the back of her outfit there's a large snowflake symbol...the same symbol found on every shipping container from the Schnee Dust Company...curious.

You: "I don't know..." You glance down at your palm, showing that you actually are holding her other earring in your hand that you manage to quickly swipe from her while she was on the verge of exploding. "Well...whatever the case, I doubt that we'll be seeing much of THAT girl anytime soon...Let's just get going." You state with a slight nod, taking a deep breath as you both step off of the airship, getting yourself ready for what this Beacon Academy has to offer.

(That about wraps up the first chapter of the Reaver, got quite a few exciting things planned for this book and don't you worry you'll melt that Ice Queen's heart soon enough. Hope y'all enjoyed.)
