A Different Huntsman (a RWBY fanfiction)

chapter 13

Months later, after the Fall of Beacon. . .

"Hey, sis," Mesagi said, as he went towards his sister, who had long brown hair and sky blue eyes.

"What is it, bro?" She asked. "Neo told me she wanted more Neapolitan," Mesagi replied.

"Again? She had one just this morning," his sister heaved out a sigh at this.

Mesagi had gotten out cold after the event that nearly got him killed by Neo.

He was out the entire time Beacon had fallen, and when he woke up, he knew it was too late to do anything.

Knowing that the White Fang might look for Neo, Mesagi convinced his sister and parents to let Neo stay with them.

Considering that his parents are always out at work at Atlas, they agreed, because they trust the siblings the most.

The sister sighed again. "Okay. Here's some money. Go buy her 3 tabs of Neapolitan," she said to him, giving him some Lien before pushing him out.

. . . .

"Why am I always the one to buy stuff for them?" Mesagi muttered, as he had a plastic bag with tabs of Neapolitan.

He then stopped, feeling someone staring at him. Well, four pair of eyes, actually.

'Aaaaaaaaah. . . Damn,' Mesagi muttered before putting the tabs of Neapolitan down.

"Okay, who are you people?" Mesagi asked, before he suddenly felt a blade around his neck.

He gulped, before he realised the weapon was a scythe, and blinked when he saw 3 more people coming out.

He felt like he once saw the blonde boy somewhere, but his memory during Beacon had faded a little too much.

"What do you guys want from me?" Mesagi asked, before he felt his back enveloped by warmth.

"Mesagi you don't remember me?" A familiar voice said to him, but he couldn't remember who.

"Who. . . Are you?" Mesagi asked, and when the person came in front of him, Mesagi's eyes widened.

He recognised and had remembered every single facial features of the girl in front of him.

"RUBY!!!" Mesagi glomped the brunette to the ground, as memories of Beacon came around.

"Good you remembered, Mesagi," Ruby said to him, hugging Mesagi back happily.

"Alright, I hate to spoil the mood here, but where were you the entire time during the fall of Beacon?" The black haired Chinese-looking guy asked.

"Sorry. Remember when I was kidnapped by the White Fang?" Mesagi asked them.

"Yeah. Everyone in RWBY went haywire. Then Prof Oz suggested about having a real huntress to get you back," Ruby replied.

"Wait what? What's her name?" Mesagi asked. "Prof Oz only said her name was 'Megu', and you're familiar with her," she replied.

"Megu. . . Is my sis!!!!" Mesagi yelled in shock, before getting his mouth slapped by the girl with the orange hair, causing Mesagi to fall on his back.

"Oops. Sorry. You have to keep your voice to minimum," the girl said to him.

Mesagi nodded. "She is?! Whoa that's shocking. Anyway, what were you doing when you were held hostage?" The blonde asked.

"First day of getting kidnapped and I'm already fighting with Neo," Mesagi replied.

"Neo? You killed her or something? Because recently we haven't really seen her," Ruby asked.

"No. She's. . . Should I spill the truth?" Mesagi asked. "She's living with you?" The orange haired asked.

"Yeah. Under the watch of my sister. Don't underestimate her, nor me," Mesagi replied.

"She's dangerous, Mesagi. You can't-" "I'll be fine, Ruby. She already swore that she'll never join White Fang after what they did," Mesagi cut Ruby off.

"Huh. Did you already found your semblance?" Ruby asked him. Mesagi nodded.

"Apparently, I can literally temporarily nullify anyone's semblance or aura. That's how I won against Neo one-on-one," Mesagi replied.

"I see," Ruby replied. "What happened to RWBY?" Mesagi asked her.

"We've split up completely. Weiss is somewhere, Yang lost her left arm, Blake. . ." Ruby trailed off.

"So casualties were made huh. Anyone else?" Mesagi asked. "Pyrrha," the blonde said, and he kept silent when he saw the blonde in the brink of tears.

"Be strong, Jaune. Pyrrha wouldn't want to see you crying like a baby," Mesagi comforted Jaune.

Jaune nodded and wiped any tears that threatened to come out of his eyeballs.

Mesagi then grabbed the plastic bag again. "If there's anything you need help with, here," Mesagi said, throwing them a circular device.

"What's this?" The black haired asked. "That, Ren, is. . . What my parents called as, 'Silent Screecher'," Mesagi replied.

"Silent Screecher? Does it screech in your ears?" The orange haired asked him.

"If you were to destroy that thing, yes, it will screech your ears. But it can help notify me since I have the 'Loud Whisperer'," Mesagi replied, taking out a circular device from his earbuds.

"Noted," Ruby told him and Mesagi nodded. "See ya," Mesagi said, before running away rather quickly.

"Can we really trust Mesagi taking care of Neo?" Jaune asked. "Hey, he knows his semblance, his sister is strong, how would they get beaten by Neo?" Ruby replied.
