Team RWBY and Ozpin shuffled up a mountain. "Um, headmaster... we got a tail," Yang spoke and pointed at a crowd of the deranged towns people holding saw blades, axes, pitchforks, and torches. "Yes, let's hurry before they catch up. I expect them to know this mountain better than us," Ozpin said as a bead of sweat ran down his forehead.
The 5 hurried up the rocky side and over the edge where in a dip was a few trucks with the White Fang symbol spray painted on the side with a large hole in the ground.
"This is it, now we need to find the White Fang that had disappeared and get out of this town", Ozpin ordered as the 5 went down to the trucks that were loaded with drills, cables, and other mining equipment. "Strange", Ozpin spoke as he picked up a pickaxe from a crate and then set it back down. Wiess came up and looked in the box seeing the dust covered equipment, "What's strange? Looks like pickaxes, just a tool for digging." Ozpin looked to the hole and noticed 2 pairs of cables going down it then said, "It is strange because this place doesn't have much if any value. No dust, not enough resources for a mineshaft, and the most strange... no Grimm..." "Is that bad?" Ruby asked looking around "I thought having no Grimm was good?"
Ozpin walked over to the hole seeing a cable car that had a layer of dust and footprints on it then said, "usually yes it is good, but with a disappearance and the villagers attacking people I'm afraid that the lack of Grimm may be because someone killed the Grimm and the townsfolk."
Ozpin then hopped down with team RWBY jumping down after. It was a very dangerous situation that may come up. They may fall into a trap of a murderer.
The cable cart creaked and rattled more and more. The 5 in the cable cart yelled and screamed as the cart cracked, then broke apart, making them all fall into the dark abyss below.
"Ugghh, 5 more minutes Ya-" Ruby spoke quite groggy as she felt cold stone under her. Ruby shot up from the ground and looked around, finding herself at some weird house with graves all around it and 2 bird baths. "Team?" Ruby semi yelled as she got to her feet "Ozpin... anyone?"
The sound of a music box cut through the silence catching Ruby's attention.
Ruby followed the stone pathway and past an old tree to a slightly rusty metal gate. Ruby pushed the gate ajar, and shuffled through the gap into a field of white flowers and old graves that looked to have been broken apart in a fight. Out in the field there was a large tree with many newer unbroken grave stones with a doll in a red dress leaning on the tree. Ruby climbed the hill and looked at the clean grave stones, and read the names. Gherman, Maria, Eileen, Alfred, Ludwig. Ruby stood over the strange life like doll. As Ruby raised her hand a shadow of a monster with floating tendrils rose behind her. Ruby reached for Crescent Rose but felt nothing as she turned around. In front of Ruby was a man with silver eyes like Moonlight and black 'n' deep red hair with a black uniform with deep red underneath. The strange man stared at Ruby unblinking. "H-hey... ummm... do you know where my friends are? My sister has blonde hair and is very confiden-", Ruby spoke before slightly interrupted as the man stepped back and started walking away. "So you aren't my sister Rose", The man said as he walked away. Ruby followed after seeing his weapons on his back and side. There was a katana with a large red cloth hanging from the handle and long pistol on his sides with a rifle and a folded scythe on his back. "Well... I am a Rose but my name is Ruby Rose", Ruby spoke as she followed the hunter "and you didn't answer my question. Do you know where my friends are?"
The hunter did not speak as they exited the garden and walked up the steps to the workshop. The hunter grabbed both handles and pulled making dust that had been left on the steps take flight, and made Ruby cough. "You know this is so strange", Ruby spoke as she put her arm to her eyes as dust got in them "we went to some village and then I got called Vileblood by the villagers and was attacked, and then we go to some hole, and now I am here without my weapo- HOLY WEAPONS OF OHM!" Ruby swore as the house was not a house but a workshop filled with weapons of all kinds and books filled the shelves. Beakers filled with red substances with silver on the top, gears, barrels and pieces of equipment to make weapons filled glass cupboards. A table with a wall filled with saw blades, swords, hammers and chains caught the eyes of Ruby as she marveled at the workshop with its old designs that had not been seen ever.
"Vileblood huh? Yes, these new nobles have been calling themselves that title, but they are not close, just lies of what Vileblood means. If you want to find your friends Ruby, it will be dangerous... and very messy." The hunter spoke as he pulled a serated sword off the wall and grabbed a few gears, a handle as he sat at his bench "You may call me Elliot Wickleson, the Pale Blood Hunter."
Elliot then handed Ruby a new weapon for her, it looked like a slim saw blade with a strange handed and a pair of gears at the hilt. "What is this?" Ruby asked as Elliot then grabbed both sides of the handle then pulled apart making the blade turn and the handle to extend into a pole making a scythe. Ruby stared in awe and wonder as she then looked to Elliot.
"Tell me little Rose, are you ready to save your friends?" Elliot asked as he walked to the gravestones by the steps of the workshop and leaned down. When he did little white monsters chuckled and appeared from fog.
In a flash of fog Ruby had blinked to appear in a new place. The place was a large city made of dark dusty stone, gothic architecture, and statues of strange being.
