RWBY The Champion and The Monster (RWBY x OC's) [On Hiatus]

Bonus, Remember Their Message (Volume 10 Prequel)

Nora

Nora: (narrating) We buried our friends today.

A crowd stands on a large sand dune in Vacuo.

Nora: I mean, you can't really bury someone that isn't there. (voice breaking) But we needed to do something.

Refugees from Atlas stand in front of a large gravestone that reads "In Honor" in the sand.

Nora: We needed to move on.

Nora falls to the ground, sobbing.

Nora: Putting the memorial at the gate site was Ren's idea. I think everyone lost something that day.

Back in the sandstorm after arriving in Vacuo, a Ravager abducts an Atlesian evacuee. Winter screams and attacks the Grimm with ice shards and a large whirlwind. As more Grimm approach, Coco Adel shoots them down with Gianduja as the rest of Team CFVY, Sun Wukong, and Neptune Vasilias arrive to help.

Nora: When the sandstorm cleared, we saw Ambrosius had kept his word. We were just outside the city.

The sandstorm clears to show Vacuo in the distance.

Nora: It was a relief for us, but for the Vacuans...

Sun: Run, this way, come on! Hurry, to the city!

The ground rumbles as the evacuees run away screaming. A Blind Worm emerges from the ground as the flashback ends.

Nora: Grimm attacked the city for days. Things have calmed down since then, but there's still something worrying me.

Nora walks through a crowd of Vacuans and Atlesians in the current time.

Vacuan: The last thing we need is a kingdom of orphans!

The angry Vacuan throws an empty can at the young boy, while Neon Katt knocks it away.

Neon: (grunts) It's not our fault we're here! No one came to help us when we needed it!

Vacuan: We've had our own problems. (throws another can that is deflected) The world doesn't revolve around Atlas!

Nora: (somberly) What's wrong with orphans?

Nora walks up to the two Vacuans and looks back and forth at them. The men huff and walk away. The boy starts to cry.

Nora: Hey, everything's gonna be okay.

Boy: I wanna go home! (runs away)

Nora: (narrating) What if we can't move on?

The camera zooms in to Nora's scars on her neck. Neon, looking at the scars, gasps and looks away when she sees Nora looking back at her.

Nora: What if we're all just too... scarred?

Oscar

Oscar: (narrating) If there was anything I wish I could borrow from you, Ruby, it would be your certainty.

Oscar stands in front of the memorial, with Vacuo visible in the distance. Oscar looks over to see the sun setting on the horizon.

Oscar: You always believed things would work out... all the way up until the moment they didn't.

Inside of Shade Academy, a dark room is lit up by a lamp clicking on, showing Oscar reading at a desk in Shade's library.

Oscar: Ozpin has no explanation of what might have happened to you, your team, Rody, Donald, Jaune. I thought maybe I could search for an answer. (book slams shut) But given Vacuo's history of colonization, its records of antiquity are even worse than most places in Remnant.
