On the
frozen continent to the north known as Solitas, there was a kingdom known as
Atlas. The most influential family of Atlas owned an enormous mansion that was
more like a castle and fortress than a home. One of the structures on the property
was known as the White Cathedral due to its architecture rather than any
religious reason.
The
White Cathedral was a great cavernous hall left abandoned long ago and haunted
by the ghosts of a resplendent past. The only thing left to guard the hall was
a suit of armor, more of a sculpture than an actual bodyguard. But recently, an
evil entity had taken up residence within the suit of armor drawn by the
family’s bitter resentment towards one another. The entity was a Geist, a
creature of Grimm, and by merging its being with the suit of armor, it became a
manifestation known as the Arma Gigas.
The
possession of the suit of armor had come to the family’s attention, and the
father of the family took it upon himself to pull the strings necessary to have
the Atlesian military come and destroy it. But when a challenger did finally
come, it was not a soldier, but instead a girl. She bore a regal stature
wearing a strapless, white combat dress with a white and red-lined bolero. Her
long, white hair was tied into a ponytail off to the side of her head rather
than behind, and she carried a weapon known as a Multi-Action Dust Rapier.
The
girl was Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company’s vast fortune.
Weiss
willingly walked into the White Cathedral to fight the Arma Gigas herself to
prove to her father she could become a huntress. Her father forbade it, but
entitled by her sorrow and becoming the loneliest one of all, Weiss was
determined to become the strongest huntress in the world.
Weiss
stopped before the Arma Gigas regarding it with her blue eyes as it rose. It
towered over her and took hold of its gigantic sword. Weiss drew her rapier in
her left hand and pointed it at the Grimm. It swung its sword, but Weiss
disappeared in a white flash as she dashed around behind the Gigas striking it in
the knees.
The
Gigas swung again, and Weiss dodged its attack jumping into the air and stabbing
it many times over. The Gigas took no damage and whacked Weiss away with one
giant swing. Weiss defended herself with her rapier, but she was knocked back
several feet sliding against the floor on her toes.
The
Gigas leapt at her and brought its sword crashing down. Weiss managed to dodge,
but the Gigas moved quickly and hit Weiss again. She was still able to defend
herself, but this time she landed on her back.
Weiss
flipped back onto her feet and revealed her Semblance by summoning a white
glyph beneath her. She dashed forward at impossible speed dodging another
swing. She backflipped into the air and made several slashes to the head of the
Gigas. Weiss summoned another glyph and shot herself to the ground where with
several dainty and dance-like movements, she made several hits to the Gigas’
knees.
She
jumped into the air again and used another glyph to propel herself forward. She
made several cuts on the Gigas’ chest and then summoned another glyph on which
to land. The Gigas swung its sword and Weiss jumped over it, but then the Grimm
slammed its enormous fist into her and launched her back several yards.
Weiss
went to stand, but found herself nearly beaten. She had little strength left
and was out of breath. But worse than that, a jagged spike on the Gigas had
connected with her face and left a cut down her left eye. Blood streamed down
her face and splashed on the floor.
Weiss managed
to stand, but she was forced to keep her eye closed. She pulled the trigger on
her rapier and the barrel revolved until it stopped on a form of pale green
Dust. Weiss pulled the trigger all the way and the hollow blade of her rapier
was filled with the Dust’s energy.
The
Gigas charged and swung its sword down on Weiss. She lifted her rapier up and
when the Gigas’ sword connected with hers, the pale green Dust took on the
shape of a circular shell shielding Weiss from the attack.
Weiss
then spun and selected an ice Dust on her rapier. She impaled her blade into
the ground and a train of ice crystals shot forward trapping the Gigas’ foot
and immobilizing it. But the Gigas was close enough to strike Weiss and it
tried to do so, but she jumped onto its sword and switched back to the pale
green Dust. She ran up the Grimm’s sword and slashed at its hand. The release
of energy caused the Gigas to be disarmed.
Weiss
landed on the other side of the Gigas and faced it. It charged her, but she
summoned a glyph at her feet and rolled out of the way. The Gigas landed its
heavy fist onto the glyph and shattered the stone floor. Weiss waved her hand
and the glyph exploded launching the suit of armor into the air.
Weiss
waved her sword in a circle and five miniature glyphs appeared. She cast them
out and they flew at the Gigas each entrapping a limb and suspending it in the
air. Weiss then summoned a glyph beneath her and launched herself into the air.
At the apex of her climb, she selected a new experimental form of Dust known
only as Ultima. It filled her blade with a glowing white energy, and Weiss shot
downward with another glyph and struck the Gigas.
Weiss
landed on the floor kneeling and heard the suit of armor clatter against the
floor behind her. The Geist Grimm had been defeated.
Weiss
stood and wiped the blood from her eye. Now, maybe her father would let her
train at Beacon Academy in the Kingdom of Vale.
