RWBY: Multiverse Destruction

Chapter 22: The first Halloween in Rimuru city

It was October but only Rimuru had noticed as no one else had, he had an idea for what they could all do in the new month. But he would have to explain it to them all which would be kind of easy but confusing to them at the same time.

"Ahem, citizens of Rimuru city...I er...I mean, let's hold a towns meeting." Rimuru said as he turned into his slime form and jumped over to the center stage of the city, before turning back to his human form.

"A meeting about what?" Shion asked curiously.

"Oh that, you'll see." Rimuru said as he smiled, he watched as everyone gathered around to listen to what he needed to say. "Ahem, right then. Since everyone is here, it's currently the month of October, the perfect month for pumpkin picking. And of course." He turned around and put a mask on. "Halloween."

"Uh...Halloween?" Rigurd asked. "What's that?"

Rimuru chuckled nervously knowing they wouldn't understand. "Let me explain. Halloween is a tradition that is celebrated every October on the 31st. Kids and adults dress up in costumes to celebrate Halloween, the costumes can be anything from a dragon to the devil, or anything you can imagine. They also get candy for free instead of having to buy it."

"Free food?" Gabiru asked. "That's better than getting served prison food."

"Bingo." Rimuru said. "Though eating all the candy in one day would be bad, but yeah. Since it's October, we can celebrate Halloween. I just need for you all to make the costumes for the kids, and don't worry about supplying candy, I gotcha on that."

Scarlet watched from a distance as she grins. "Halloween huh? Ara...seems interesting." She walked away as she had the perfect costume design for herself to wear.

Rimuru got a chill down his slime body as he looked towards the entrance of the city, seeing Scarlet walk off. "Shion, I'll leave you in charge of preparations. I gotta go do something real quick."

"Of course lord Rimuru." Shion said as she smiled.

Rimuru had caught up with Scarlet as he glared at her. "Yo, I heard you did some bad stuff while I was gone....care to tell me who you are and why?"

Scarlet stopped as she turned her head. "And how did you manage to know I was the one?"

"I had a hunch." Rimuru said as he crossed his arms. "But that didn't really answer my question on who you are, and I also heard Milim killed you..yet here you are alive and walking."

"If you're so gun hold on knowing who I am, then I suppose I should tell you." Scarlet said. "I am Scarlet Rose, an immortal being."

"So...uh yeah, I'm gonna have to ask you not to like ruin Halloween for us." Rimuru said. "Chillax and cool down."

"I wasn't planning on killing anyone today, I have my own costume to make for the celebration." Scarlet said as she turned to face him. "I should tell you though, one of the demon lords is dead."

Rimuru was silent as he feared what she was going to say, but it only mad him angry on the inside. "I swear on their death I will put you down Scarlet." Rimuru was working on being a demon lord soon, but it seemed he needed to make his promotion quicker.

"By all means, try it." Scarlet said as she grins. "That pixie didn't even put up a fight." She turned around and walked off. "Chow slime boy."

Rimuru could feel the evil aura flowing off of Scarlet as he turned around and went back to town. "She killed Ramiris...I won't forgive her." His aura flowed off his body as everyone in town could feel it generating off of him. "Great sage, were you able to calculate any weakness?"

"Negative." Raphael said said. "She doesn't appear to show any signs of weakness to anything. However, her immortality has a few draw backs."

"I'm listening." Rimuru said.

"The draw back to this is, she grows weaker instead of being stronger after she regenerates." Raphael said. "Her body would pulse as her immortality eats away at her body slowly."

Rimuru listened as he rubs his chin. "So the only way it can't is if she eats?"

"Correct." Raphael said. "She isn't human however, she's a human hybrid."

"Oh you mean like Shion and the others? They were Ogres. And now they're not." Rimuru said

"Affirmative." Raphael said. "Scarlet is part Grimm, a creature of darkness. These creature's don't exist in this world. Only in a fairy tale."

"Wait back up, you said Grimm?" Rimuru asked. "They only exist in one place I can think of...but how is that possible?" He was thinking as he scratched his head. "Oh man, it's on the tip of my tongue..."

~~~

The city of Rimuru was decorated with spooky stuff, and each building had trick or treaters. While some were throwing a Halloween party. Rimuru on the other hand was still puzzled as he trying to figure out where he's seen Grimm before, but could never put the pieces together.

Scarlet had walked in unannounced in a devil costume as she glared at Rimuru. "Ara...you're in your slime for I see."

Rimuru jumps as he was startled, he quickly turned into his human form as he spun around. "You again..great sage told me everything about you."

"Is that so?" Scarlet asked as she snickered. "Kihihihi...ara ara, I feel special." She looked at him for a moment as she walked beside him. "Don't worry, I'm not going to gobble any of your town's people up...not yet at least."

Rimuru turned his head to look at her. "I'll be sure you don't. I only want piece in this world, not murder and destruction."

"Oh please, a slime like you wouldn't be in a league with a Maiden." Scarlet said as she grins. "I'll let you in a on little secret...I've faced stronger foes than you, one in particular a God of death. By the name Forgotten." Her eyes glowed as she spoke some more. "However, the God of death from my knowledge died from Gogeta."

"Wait did you just say Gogeta?" Rimuru asked. "As in Dragon Ball Z Gogeta?"

"Ara, it seems you're a manga fan..how is that possible for a slime creature?" Scarlet asked as she snickered. "Of course, it's all real. Even the creatures of Grimm are real too." She walked away. "So I'd watch your back Rimuru."

Rimuru watched Scarlet walk away as he stood there. "Did you catch all that great sage?"

"Affirmative." Raphael said. "Calculating...she's telling the truth. There existed a Death God named Forgotten, his brother was killed by a spirit and when he died when he was human. He fell off a cliff to his death below."

"Ouch...you'd think him being a God of Death he'd be able to come back from being killed again." Rimuru said as he sighs. "I guess we have a new foe to worry about that isn't Clayman."
