Lethal Protector: RWBY × Yang × OC (COMPLETE)

(RWBY V4) Tipping Point

It is a cloudy day, and RNJR is following a mossy stone tile path through the wilderness. While walking, Nora Valkyrie stretches her arms up wide.

Nora: Another day, another adventure!

Beside her, Jaune Arc reads a map while Ruby Rose, Damian Locke, Pyrrha Nikos, Terry and Lie Ren continue alongside them.

Ruby: What's on the agenda today?

Jaune: Walking!

Nora: With a side of...?

Ren: Walking.

Ruby: (sighs) Haven is a lot farther away than I thought.

Damian: Ruby: How long did you think this journey was going to take?

Ruby: I don't know! I grew up in a small area; I've never been this far away from home!

Jaune: Right but... how long?

Ruby: Maybe like, uh... two weeks?

Jaune: (looking up from the map to glare at her) What?!

Ruby: Okay, fine! Three or something! (not making eye contact) Look, whatever.

Pyrrha: Well, I guess things can't get any worse. We have a map, supplies, and most importantly each other. We can do this.

Terry: But really, 3 weeks? Shouldn't it be a lot longer than that?

Ruby looks around while the others go offscreen, feeling unease in the wind.

Nora: Hey, I think I found something!

Ruby turns and rushes over. Nora, Jaune, Pyrrha, Terry, Damian and Ren are looking at a town sign. Nora moves the ivy growing over it to the side to read what it says.

Nora: Oniyuri? Never heard of it.

Jaune: Me neither.

Ren: I have.

Damian: So have I.

The other five look at them, surprise on Nora and Ruby's faces.

Ren: You might think of it as Anima's Mountain Glenn, had it never been completed. Years ago, the richest members of Mistral were unhappy with how the Kingdom was being run.

Damian is next to speak, there are wide shots showing the various unfinished buildings, disrepair and neglect of the village.

Damian: Frustrated with the council, they pooled their resources together to build their own city, with their own laws. They hoped that one day, it could maybe even become its own Kingdom. Many thought it would be the future.

Ren walks away from the other six

Ren: I know my parents did.

Ruby: What happened?

J&P: The Grimm.

Ren tightens his hands into fists.

Ren: Not just any, one.

Ruby briefly faces Nora in confusion, but Nora doesn't move her concerned gaze away from Ren. Ruby turns back to him.

Ruby: One?

Pyrrha: Wait a minute. Damian, how do you know this story?

Ruby, Jaune, Pyrrha and Terry look at him.
