Mere Myth (RWBY x Male Reader)

The Way Back. An Offer You Can't Refuse!

From where we left off the medical team had treated the injured members of JNPR and Glynda called for all Beacon students to the front of the grinning monument for an emergency announcement. Glynda now stands before her students with Prof. Oobleck beside her. The unconscious form of their attacker lies on the stretcher behind the teachers with multiple straps holding his head, arms, chest, waist and legs down to restrict his movement. Some students in the crowd try to get a better look at the restricted person but were unsuccessful.

Glynda: As some of you may be aware the outcome of this trip has taken a drastic turn. For better or for worse, we are not sure.

Some murmuring rippled through the crowed but died down soon after.

Glynda: Earlier this afternoon team JNPR discovered a chamber deep within the structure. It appeared to be a tomb dedicated to a figure of major significance, which we believe is the man you see behind us. You should know that he is exceptionally skilled in hand to hand combat, proficient with a sword and at will is able to become unharmed by any physical attack. It is vital that everyone of you is prepared for combat against him.

Oobleck: Due to the danger he possesses we will task two teams with ensuring our guest does not escape or hurt himself. Team RWBY and team JNPR will be the teams responsible for his containment. Please make your way to the armoured vehicle on your right.

With that the Beacon students were dismissed and began to travel back to the academy. The teams RWBY and JNPR sit in the armoured vehicle across from each other with the restrained man between them. No one talked during the trip until a certain blonde broke the silence.

Yang: So...this is the guy, huh? Doesn't seem like much.

Phyrrah: I would be fooled too if I didn't see him awake. He looks so human but everything about him says he's not natural.

Blake: What happened down there?

Jaune: After we split at that intersection in the temple we found a skeleton in the hallway. Prof. Goodwitch went to go find prof. Oobleck but Nora ran off with it's skull. Don't ask why, even she doesn't know.

Nora: Heh heh

Ren: We ran after her and found this room with a sarcophagus in it. 'He' was in there.

Yang: So he's a zombie?

Phyrrah: No. He said something along the lines of him 'waking up' before he attacked us.

Blake: The temple is supposed to be close to three hundred years old. Are you saying he 'woke up' after a three hundred year sleep?

Weiss: He couldn't have. The longest anyone has gone without basic needs is three days. Someone living for three hundred without any nutrition is impossible.

Phyraah: It dosen't matter if its impossible. He was there and beat us so easily. It took one hit from him to knock me out. One. Hit.

Jaune: And every attack we landed on him didn't slow him down.

Nora: Except for yours truly!

Jaune: Yeah...don't even get me started on his sword.

Ruby: He had a sword? Can I see it?

Weiss; Why are you so obsessed with weapons?

Ruby: Why aren't you? Please? Let me see. Come on, come on, come on.

Jaune: Are you sure? You don't know where it's been.

Ruby: Was it in a dead body?

Jaune: No but-
