Atlas's Heart

Blood To Be Spilled

I look across the raging war and feel the steady beating of my heart.

The camera zooms in on Y/n from behind looking at Beacon.

Waiting in the calm before the storm
I pray my aim will guide me through the dark!

He opens his eyes and sees Beacon burning and covered with rubble.

Guitar Solo

Like turning pages
A memory fades inside my mind.

The camera zooms past the clouds and the sky and focuses on Amity Coliseum.

But through the ages
I tell the story everytime.

The camera flips to a fight in the arena of the Protectors in their match.

Our song of declaration
Will wake this broken nation.
Let's take up arms, friend
We'll fight until the bitter end!

Suddenly the arena is engulfed in flame and is completely empty with Grimm everywhere.

In a world so wracked with sorrow
We fight to turn around a fucked scenario!

The camera flips to Team RWBY going against a horde of Grimm and them losing.

Shake up the passage of time
Just stop and rewind, stop and rewind!

Ruby opens her eyes from falling down, she stands up and they shine silver.

Hold onto virtue
Take hope and take it when there's nothing left to do!

Flip back to Y/n facing against a dark feminine figure wielding dual blades with gears flying past.

Save what was once left behind
Just fall and unwind, fall and unwind!

Tyler and Alecks stare at each other with their weapons drawn and run at each other screaming.

Rise up with each arpeggio
Feel your heart beating steady and low.
You are an anthem marching strong
A Savior of Song, a Savior of Song!

Weiss screams out someone's name and a giant figure appears, splitting the screen in two.

——————Atlas's Heart——————

Your mind and body have to work overtime in order to compensate for the Faunus's speed and agility. You also notice she hasn't used the weapon on her back yet, just her fists and legs to try to pummel you.

"If I could just land a blow on her, glancing or not." She jumps over you and you try to fire your pistols at her, but you're not quick enough, she kicks your weapons out of your hands and she gets in close. You defend yourself from all of her attacks, she jumps off of you and you're pushed away and on your backside. You pull your pistols back to you and aim.

"Wait a minute, what if I..." You focus your Semblance into your pistol's magazines.

"Well, this was fun! But I'm afraid you lose now!" You yell to her.

"I don't see a situation in which that happens!" You fire a round at her, she pulls her staff off of her back and blocks the bullet. You holster Luna and the only keep Sol at the ready. You raise your hand out and activate your Semblance. Her weapon vibrates and is flung out of her hands straight to you. You place the staff on your back.

"How!?" She screams.

"You know, I still don't know your name!" Her face grows annoyed.

"Talia! And you are?" You hide your shocked face well.

"She doesn't know my name, but they know me and Weiss are dating?"

"Y/n Ironwood! I presume you know my father?" Her face goes from annoyed and angry to fearful.

"The General?" Her fearful expression quickly vanishes and her face returns to a focused one.

"Well, it's nice to meet you." She yells a battle-cry and runs straight for you. You begin firing a hail of bullets at her, she tries dodging them but they're too fast and she is hit. You touch the ground and activate your Semblance, forcing her to the floor. You walk to her and kneel beside her, curious about why she was worried about your father.

"Why did you just get scared? All I did was mention my father, is he doing someth—." You're suddenly hit by another person, another body, not an attack. You catch the person and notice it's the cheetah Faunus. You look at the direction she came from and you stare.

"Oh no..." You see a massive tower of fire coming from near the tundra, and all you can hear is overbearing laughter.

"HAAhAHAAhaAAHHHAAA!!!" Tyler has lost control.

"Shit. ALECKS!!" You scream out. After a moment of silence from your friend he answers.

"I KNOW!" You and Alecks run toward Tyler to confront him before he goes out of control.

"TYLER!!" You scream at him.

"HAAHAAA LITTLE IRONWOOD!!" The fiery tower begins to fade away into thin air. You and Alecks pull your weaponry out and get ready.

"Listen man, you need to calm down." You tell him.

"I am calm Y/n. I'm very calm, if you would like to see me crazy. I'd be happy to show you." His crazed eyes widen and flames engulf his entire body, blocking your vision of where he truly is. All you can see is his glowing red eyes. Full of rage.

"Hey Y/n, I have a really bad good idea."

"What the hell does that even mean?" Alecks turns to Tyler and holsters his weapon.

"Tyler man listen, we're in the middle of a fight. A Tournament fight, meaning that our opponents are very tough. If you're looking for a good fight, help us win it." Tyler's flames turn a dark blue.

"Powerful opponents correct? How do you know if I even want a good fight? What if I just want to inflict harm upon anyone in my way? What if I want to kill?"

"Then you can inflict harm upon them, but you just can't kill them. Once their Auras are gone, you've won! You will be the strongest!" Tyler stays silent for a moment, the pure heat from his flames is starting to sting through your Aura. You grit your teeth and fight through it, to help your friend.

"You make good points. But mark my words Alecks. If they're not strong enough to satisfy my desires, you'll be next." Tyler begins to walk forward, you and Alecks move out of his way to avoid melting. Tyler walks past you both and speaks to VLLT.

"You four will fight me. I will determine if you're worthy to be Huntresses!" Team VLLT all line up and draw their weapons. You and Alecks look at each other.

"Hey, I'm not stepping in, he'll kill me." Alecks says.

"Well let's just hope he either doesn't kill them, or he is enough to defeat them all by himself."

"This is bad girls." Lyria says.

"I alone will be enough." The girl in the hood walks forward and draws a long blackened blade.

"One of you isn't fun, I want to crush all of your spirits and hopes!" He lowers his flames so they can see him, you inspect him and see the veins in his arms are turning orange. The Dust that his blood is fused with begins to flow faster through his body.

"Hmph. Fine. I'll allow it. Team VLLT, lets go!" All four girls run at Tyler.

"LETS BATTLE!!" Tyler flies forward using his flames.
