RWBY: The Runaway

Vol 1 Chapter 1: I Am The Runaway

Y/N's POV

"Icarus... check! Rapid Strike... Check! Golden Crow... Check! Netherite Armor... Check! Food... Check! Lien... Check! Water... Check! Okay! I think I'm all set to go!" I said checking my bag.

For those of you that don't know, my name is Y/N Winchester. And if you couldn't figure it out, I'm in the middle of the forest. I currently lived in a cabin that I built all by myself. I am 16 years old and I am known as "The Runaway." Why people called me that, well I just take care of business and run away. But yeah I'm heading to wherever the wind breezes. And that is currently North so I'm heading North.

I just travel a lot, been traveling all over the place. So it's most likely that I know where everything is at. Okay well not most likely know but likely know. But anyways, it's time for me to head out and see what awaits me today I guess.. All different kinds of humans and faunus I see every day. It's not that I hate them, not at all. It's because I might be scared at them.

Let me explain, So I have a older brother name Cardin and he was like all older siblings. Teasing a bit here and there, leading, putting an example out for me. It was both our goals to be a huntsmen. So we asked Dad to train us and he agreed to. But that's where things change for the worse and I have to go through hell every single day. Cardin was excellent in training but the same can't be said for me. I tried to put all my effort to succeed, to be the best I can be but it wasn't enough to satisfy them. And that led to the point where I can no longer call them family.

Instead of treating me as their son, they treated me as some slave. The so called meals they gave me was less than a snack. I was hungry, scared, there was so much filling in my head. I thought I was going to be gone and no one will know about me. My parents let Cardin and his friends beat me down, scarred me. Scars, there's so many scars. Most of them are on my back and my arms.

But then I randomly woke up what appears to be war cries. I was confused as I couldn't see what was happening when I was in chains, was there a big fight or a war? I remember every single second of what happened back then. But as I was continue walking north I ran into something, a sign. A sign that told me where I am.

"Welcome to... Kuroyuri..?" I said a bit confused.

Kuroyuri? I've never heard of this place before... There's no one here and it's too quiet... I should gear up and see what's left of this place. I wasted no time putting on my Netherite Armor, Icarus was attached to the armor so that's cool. I put on Rapid Strike as well as Golden Crow, I think I'm ready to go. I should probably put my bag somewhere where I couldn't forget it, I put it next to the sign.

As I walked around, I started to take notes of this place. It was damaged, damaged a long time ago. When, I cannot answer. But why wouldn't they fixed this place, I bet it will look beautiful! I started to check inside of houses, nothing but old and broken furniture. There was even some food in the houses but old and rotten.

"This place... what happened to it? Did a Grimm come and attack? Or was it a person, or a group of people?" I asked myself

3rd POV

Y/N sighed to himself as a frown was put on his face. Everywhere he goes, there's always destruction. Everyone he sees, someone gets hurt. Why can't everything just be... in peace? He continues to look around till he heard something. A noise he doesn't like to hear. A Grimm, but it's nothing like he used to hear. Fortunately the Grimm appeared quickly above him, flying out of the sky. Unfortunately...

"What... What the hell are you suppose to be..?" Y/N asked himself as he looks on at the Grimm.

The Grimm let out a loud screech as it begun flapping its wings, getting ready to battle. Y/N eyes widen before he prepared himself as well, taking a defensive stance. A defensive stance that requires him to just simply stand there like a normal person. The Grimm let out a battle cry as it rushes towards him, only to be knocked back by Y/N's defenses.

Y/N's Netherite Armor is known to be one of the strongest armor in the world, but not many people know about it. And Y/N learn to used his aura and spread it across his armor. So whenever someone or something attacks him physically, Y/N won't take much damage at all and the opponent will be send back. Y/N did his research and learn that Netherite was known to be heavy. So while he was traveling, he came across someone that was really good with weapons and armor. And now the armor he wears feels like his casual outfit, if he had one.

"I can't just win by defense, time to rush in." Y/N thought to himself

Y/N tapped on the ground once before Golden Crow begins to change. The boots have two forms. One acted like normal boots, the kind for walking around. This mode helps him more to take a defensive stance. The other mode is for him to really move around, go on the offensive. People do say that Speed can be a weapon. Golden Crow can be turned into some kind of roller skates. 

Y/N circled around the Grimm, extending his arms outs and shooting fire out using Rapid Strike. The Grimm tried to protect itself, covering itself with its wings before flying off. Y/N tried to shoot it down with fire and electricity but the Grimm was dodging it. Y/N growls as he tapped on Icarus, activating it and now giving the ability to fly. Changing the mode of Golden Crow, he took off into the skies.

Now Y/N hasn't use Icarus as much as he wanted too, he didn't want to fly all over the world because it would give him attention. And Y/N wants to be hidden. He was able to get used of how fast and how slow he wanted to go. The landing was a bit difficult, he was able to land. Even with Golden Crow, but when it's in roller skates, oh boy he crashed and burn.

Y/N continues to shoot out fire and electricity, the Grimm was dodging well till it got hit by a stream of fire. The Grimm screeched before turning at a 180 degree, charging at the bit with much speed and force.

"WHOA!" Y/N exclaimed as he fly up, Barely able to dodge the Grimm attack. "Damn... that was close..." Y/N said to himself as he tries to find the Grimm. He check the left side, and the right side, and behind him with the result of nothing. He looked upward only to see the Grimm shooting some kind of Acid from its mouth? Y/N eyes widen as he tries to dodge it, only his left arm got hit.

All he felt from his left arm was burning, and a bit of pain. With that in, Y/N won't be able to make turns clearly. So he headed down to the ground, trying to land as the Grimm was right behind him. As Y/N landed, he turned around only to be met with a powerful smack from the Grimm's wing. Then another one, and again as the Grimm was assaulting him with its wings. Another powerful smack send him back but he was still on his feet, there was no doubt that his aura was chipping away.

The Grimm charged at Y/N again at a faster speed, giving Y/N no time to use his aura on his armor and send it back. So he raised his arms up and blocked the Grimm's assault.

"The Grimm's wings... it's just likes hands... just like normal human hands..." Y/N thought to himself as he continues to block.

The Grimm hit him again with it's wing, sending Y/N back but still on his feet. The Grimm tried to charge in but Y/N reacted much faster. His fist covered in electricity as he punches the Grimm, sending it flying and crashing towards the building.

"D-Did that work?" Y/N asked himself, hoping the battle was over.

But unfortunately it wasn't over as the Grimm rises from the bricks and stones of the crumbled house. The Grimm seemed to be angrier, and holding back. Y/N eyes widen as the Grimm headed towards him, faster than he could've predicted. He couldn't dodge as the Grimm tackle him, sending him crashing to a house. Buried in the destroyed house, the Grimm flew upwards only to fly down, crashing onto Y/N. This continue for a while as the Grimm crashes down to Y/N only to fly up and do it again. The Grimm stopped its attack, landing at a safe distance from him before shooting out acid from its mouth.

The Grimm flew upwards, onto the roof of building as it looks at the damage. Assuming the boy was killed, it was about to fly away. Until a huge fire abrupt and shot at the Grimm, the Grimm barely dodging. Actually the fire was spreading everywhere, all around Kuroyuri. But the fire was not damaging the houses, the fire wasn't reaching the houses. The Grimm was looking around at the fire till it looked back at the boy. Y/N's eyes... the irises of his eyes are red, the scleras of his are black. The Grimm let out a screech charging in, only for Y/N to charge in as well. The battled ended with one quick motion.
