Chapter 89: Foreshadow…
Quick small update.
School is starting and my writing will be showing signs of being slowed down so be prepared for it.
On a side note though for the RWBY Gamer fic rewrite I have planned finally stored up about 26 chapters worth on the side whew...
But here's a quick question though do you want me to release the fic soon
Or...
Wait a bit longer for me to get some chapters in stock.
Also any good names to go along with it?
I was thining of naming it GAMER PATH: RWBY or simply GAMER RWBY or other ideas would be cool.
Anyway hope you enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 89: Foreshadow…
~Albus POV~
"Hey is Ghira or Sienna here currently?"
"Hmm… Ah! Sub Leader Albus sir!"
"Ghira isn't here but High Leader Sienna should be inside why is it urgent?"
Nodding my head I already my way towards the White Fang HQ in Menagerie with either Ghira or Sienna in charge but seems like my old friend is out but the work acholic mad woman Sienna is here.
Great…
Sighing out loud I enter inside to see Sienna there wearing her whole new look as she glanced at me as she talked to her men, "With the forces coming – Huh? Albus, why are you here? I thought you would be working on that serum you were working on?"
Sienna is a female, Bengal tiger-based Faunus with amber eyes, dark complexion, and wild black, chin-length hair with an asymmetrical bob style. Her Faunus trait manifested as an extra pair of ears, and her body was adorned with numerous tattoos resembling tiger stripes.
She wore four golden earrings on three of her ears, one each on her Human ears, and two on her left Faunus ear as well as a small jewel on her forehead.
She was seen wearing a form-fitting dark gray sleeveless top with white trim, the top has a large diamond cut out of the back exposing most of her back accompanied by a smaller diamond-shaped cutout just above her breasts.
A long gray skirt with white accents that shaped inwards towards her calves allowing from them to be partially revealed them and her over-the-knee black stockings with golden trim alongside two long splits on the side which revealed a pair of black shorts.
As I come walking inside the base of hers I waved at her with a smile but the expression on my face betrayed her expectations, "Going back to the drafts after creating a living ice cream monster. But I came here with some issues."
*Brr*
Showing off my Cursed Energy again the others backed off but for Sienna, she looked bemused about my energy as she tilted her head confused as she called the guards to leave, "Oh…? Seems like you regained your semblance again. But then again that wasn't the case, was it? Guards, please leave we have an important matter to discuss."
"Yes, High Leader Miss!"
Like that the guards left us in peace before Sienna places her hand overhead as she spoke out to me, "Sigh… ok mister Magic man what kind of shit are we going against this time? More of Salem goons or another magical threat from another world?"
Hesitating slightly a bit I began to clear my voice out as I sat down and gave her one word for Sienna that made her confused, "No this time our enemies are… ghosts… and possibly Alternate Universe counter part threats."
"…."
"…."
At this, we kept our silence before Sienna came towards me and checked my forehead trying to find something before she replied in concern, "Are you perhaps high or something? Or are you experiencing a fever talking about such nonsence?"
I feel insulted.
But wouldn't be wrong...
Better get to explaining to her then asap.
/////
"So… these Ghost called Curses are now in Remnant right…?"
"If according to that and doubles in this world then yes."
"Right… alternate universe Penny girl but you aren't thinking –"
"No I'm thinking correctly if she came here then… the rest must have followed here as well."
"This… really doesn't sound good doesn't it?"
"Depending on what the AU versions did or what Neo did then it's safe to assume the worst."
"Oh TRUTH damn it."
"Yup TRUTH damn it indeed Sienna."
Yes, that would make sense with the changes as we both ponder the situation given to us.
With Penny's mere existence this changed everything we originally planned adding a newcomer to the mix Curses.
We both paused letting the information properly sink in as the planning to wait things out till Beacon Starts was a no go anymore because originally the plan was to stay hidden and gather our own forces before the time was right.
The right time to show our gifts to the world Alchemy, Hamon, Breathing, and Magic as well as many more but with this changes things for us.
Now I need to teach people to become sorcerers to properly deal against any rogue curses but not only that they can't be dealt with by the normal means and I don't even know if magic would work against them.
Looks like I need to start testing on this matter soon.
For now, though it seems like another hurdle presented itself and I got to figure out something about this.
Sigh…
Why me?
/////
~Ozpin POV~
I sense a great disturbance in Remnant.
Using my Aura and Magic I sensed something awaken in Remnant as if the hate itself is all around us not from our emotions no I assure myself…
But rather they came to be themselves.
At least that is what it feels and ever since the disappearance of Raven being the Spring Maiden died and transferred to her only daughter Yang Xiao Long it all became more relevant of these curses.
As such I have begun to do some reading of my own time to deal with this new threat.
It has to be something Salem concocted something different from Team RWBY and Jaune's point of view as this revolves around something more on the magical side of things.
Thus I have returned to my very own studies on how to combat these Cusres that and the General losing the Winter Maiden is a big blow to us.
We only have the Fall Maiden and Spring Maiden with us while we have no clue where the Summer or Winter Maidens are at this current time.
And to make matters worse though…
I feel as if a great change is coming towards Remnant and this feeling reminds me…
…
..
.
Reminds of the signs of the Great War that happened across Remnant.
The signs are presenting themselves once more again.
I can just feel it in my soul that something is happening and to make matters worse I have no idea what's to come.
But at least while the uncertainty of the future and its glooms are at the distance…
*Click*
Turning on the video camera feed of Yang being taught to use her Maiden powers from our very own Fall Maiden there is still a thing called hope for the future.
Wheater this new wave of negative emotions will damper the world or these curses bring to ruin the Huntsman and Huntresses have to rise to the occasion or else…
No.
I shouldn't be thinking like that.
Not when Yang forewarned us about these curses thanks to Raven giving her the final info needed we need at the time in the past we didn't know till now.
Curses are ghost-like beings that can harm others while we have hardly any means to fight them off.
For this, I need to research back my own strategies to combat this new foe that Salem seems to have made in her plans.
But worse I should be on the lookout for this leader of theirs that could be related or even allied himself with her.
The Cursed King…
And with the sudden rise of Curse King Cultist in the newest form village in Mistral Konoha there couldn't be any coincidence or perfect timing for this Cursed King to appear.
Whoever this Cursed King is I will make sure he regrets threatening the balance and peace of Remnant.

~Salem POV~
Everything has been going mad the second's thanks to the Cursed King.
"Haha…"
Really everything is falling into disorder thanks to these Curses and even I lost my Grimm forces to them a couple of times.
The younger Grimm are tougher to control because they rely on instincts but…
"You're majesty the tests subjects are ready…"
Smiling at this I turned around to see my greatest asset I have obtained thanks to the troubles of curses I obtain something greater.
The brilliant and loyalty of Dr. Merlot working on enhancing the Grimm.
To be more precise the Mutant Grimm as I saw the works being done on them from his lab as I came to visit.
Fascinating.
It was merely by pure luck I managed to contact this mad man using one of my Seers to find more suitable places to spawn Grimm using the Grimm Pools but never I would think to meet another like-minded individual similar to Watts intelligence but to the biology of Grimm than technology.
I certainly got lucky with this one.
There exists a group of Grimm that have been genetically modified to be superior to even Alpha Grimm in every way. I should know I made them fight against each other and the results spoke for themselves on who won.
They pose powers like exploding and creating waves of crystal-like bone spikes.
Strikingly similar to Semblances for Humans and Faunus but for Grimm their own abilities that are quite… last resort or useful.
Hehehe…
Unlike all other Grimm, their eyes, markings, and inside of their bodies were green instead of red. Their spikes took on an appearance similar to glowing green crystals.
So far the only species that have been seen in the mutated form are Creeps, Beowolves, and a single Death Stalker….
At least when the Dr. Merlot could capture but here though…
I could give him free reign to do as he pleases.
Connecting my mind to the Mutant Grimm was surprisingly easy as they follow commands as I hear Dr. Merlot speak to me joyfully, "I hope the Mutant Beowolves, Geist, Goliath, Manticore, Nevermore, and my personal favorite the Sea Feilong does well my lady."
Yes…
They will do very nicely indeed…
