Time for a sequel! Hello everybody! I am The Burning Ruler and I am here with the first chapter of RWBY: The Phantom. As you can tell from the summary, this is a sequel to RWBY: A Demon's Life. This story will mostly follow Chris, but I may be tempted to follow Shade every once in a while. I got the feeling to start this on November 25th. This has been uploaded at midnight on February 7th to commemorate the debut of my first story. I am now going to respond to the reviews on RWBY: A Demon's Life chapter 30. Here we go!

Valkerix: Huh, you make a good point. I guess anything can be a cliché. Good to know you like the interactions between characters. Also, you actually found Shade relatable? Interesting…

Lunaris Eclipse: I just want to say, thank you so much. That review actually made my day when I read it, which was about seventeen days after I started this, but it still made me happy. Also, just so you know, it's sir. Finally, you have an awesome life too!

Well then, it's time to start this story!

Chapter 1: Team CAOS

Chris woke up early. It had been twelve years since they got their father back, and he and his sisters were ready to enroll at beacon academy.

"Girls. Time to get up." Said Chris starting to get ready. The girls woke up and got ready as well. Chris dressed in an all-black outfit, Audrey in a red shirt and skirt, and Olivia in a grey tank top with navy blue jeans.

Chris' hair was long, similar to the length of his father's, but it didn't cover one of his eyes. Audrey's hair was long as well, going down to her mid-back, and Olivia's was short.

After getting ready they went to the living room and got breakfast.

"Good morning you three." Said Velvet.

"Morning mom." Said the three children.

"Still don't know how you all still manage to talk at the same time." Said Velvet causing Olivia to let out a slight chuckle.

"I guess Dad already left for Beacon." Said Chris.

"Yeah, but he had a message for you three. When you get into the school, try not to let your grim side out. At least, not at first, and try not make the same mistake he did. Don't reveal it in front of the whole school." Said Velvet.

"We are much better at controlling it than dad was. Trust us." said Olivia.

"You know, yesterday isn't really helping your case there Olivia." Said Chris.

"Hey, that was an honest misunderstanding. Dad looked mad and he took out his swords. I reacted. That's all." Said Olivia.

"So that excuses whacking him with your axe and then going grim?" asked Audrey.

"It was a reflex!" said Olivia.

"Maybe we stop this conversation before it gets out of hand?" asked Velvet.

"Good idea mom." Said Chris.

The three kids ate quickly and got ready to travel to beacon.

"Have a good day!" said Velvet.

"Bye mom!" said the kids.

Chris, Audrey and Olivia all walked to the airships together, getting on one.

"Here we go. First day." Said Chris.

"Actually, tomorrow we get tested to enroll." Said Audrey.

"Right, but still, technically." Said Chris.

The three kids were just talking among themselves before Chris saw a girl that looked much younger than them and lonely. She was a human with long blue hair tied into pigtails and purple eyes. She was wearing a purple shirt and skirt, and she was just standing in a corner alone.

"Wanna introduce ourselves?" asked Olivia.

"Why not." Said Audrey as they all walked over.

"Hey there." Said Chris.

"Oh. Um, hello." Said the girl.

"You seem surprised." Said Audrey.

"Well, it isn't often people come up to me to talk. Especially not Faunus. I've always been a bit of a loner." Said the girl.

"Well, if you want to be left alone we'll go." Said Chris.

"Sorry about my brother. He's a bit of a jokester." Said Audrey, smirking.

"It's ok. My name's Scarlet. Scarlet Eclipse." Said the girl.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Chris Fall. These are my sisters, Audrey and Olivia." Said Chris.

"Nice to meet you as well." Replied Scarlet.

"Hey Scarlet, I gotta ask something. How old are you? You don't look seventeen to me." Said Chris.

"It's not polite to ask a girl her age Chris." Said Audrey, but Scarlet silenced her.

"No need for that Audrey. I'm actually fourteen. The only reason I'm here is because I was allowed to skip a few grades due to my abilities. Wait. You said your last name was Fall right?" asked Scarlet.

"Yes, why?" asked Chris.

"Fall, fall, why does that name sound so familiar to me?" asked Scarlet.

"You might know our dad. He's, pretty well known here in Vale." Said Audrey.

"Alright. What's his first name?" asked Scarlet.

"Vincent." Said Chris.

"Woah, wait a second. You're telling me, that your father, is THE Vincent Fall?! The one and only Vincent Fall?!" asked Scarlet.

"Never heard him called that before, but I guess." Said Olivia.

"Oh my god. I can't believe I am friends with THE Vincent Fall's children." Said Scarlet, acting like she just met royalty.

"Have we been royalty this whole time without knowing?" asked Audrey, confused at Scarlet's reaction.

"Sorry about the overreaction. It's just, Vincent Fall has been my idol for years. Ever since I was five my dream was to meet him." Said Scarlet.

"Well, I'm sure we could pull a few strings and get you to meet him. Assuming you want to." Said Chris, looking at the girls.

Scarlet looked at Chris as if he had just offered her a kingdom. "R-really? You think you could introduce me to him?" asked Scarlet.

"Yeah. I'm sure we could work something out. Maybe you could meet him today when we get to beacon." Said Olivia.

"That would be amazing. If you could introduce me to him, I would be in your debt forever." Said Scarlet.

"No need for that. He's our father, and he's very kind hearted and pretty laid back as well. I'm sure it wouldn't be hard." Said Audrey.

"Ok. Thank you SO MUCH! Vincent Fall was the hero of my neighborhood. You couldn't go anywhere without hearing stories about him. I really wish I knew if those stories were true." Said Scarlet.

"Well, I'm sure you can ask him. You might even be able to ask us. We might know." Said Chris.

"I only want to know one thing right now. Is he really a grim hybrid?" asked Scarlet.

"Yes he is. Can we tell you a secret?" asked Audrey.

"Of course." Said Scarlet.

Audrey leaned in to Scarlet. "So are we." Whispered Audrey.

"Really? All of you? Do you mind if I see your grim forms?" asked Scarlet.

"Wish you could. But there are a few too many people here. Not a good idea to reveal our grim forms in public you know." Said Chris.

"No problem. I'll use my semblance. Hold my hands." Said Scarlet. The three held their hands in a circle.

Not long after, Scarlet let go. Everything was frozen in place.

"Did you freeze time?" asked Chris.

"Yep. My semblance allows me to control the flow of time. I can stop it, or speed it up at will." said Scarlet.

"Cool. So, you want to see our grim forms?" asked Olivia.

"Hell yeah!" said Scarlet.

"Well, here we go." Said Chris, as the three went grim. Audrey became similar to a Beowolf, Chris grew to the size of an Ursa, and Olivia became a King Taijitu.

"So awesome…" said Scarlet, star struck.

The kids turned back to normal.

"Thank you." they all said at the same time.

Scarlet turned time back to normal speed.

"Hey, looks like beacon is getting close." Said Olivia.

"Yeah, not too far off now." Said Chris.

Not long after that, the airship landed.

"Alright. Gym, right?" asked Chris.

"Bingo." Said Audrey.

The three took off with Scarlet. They arrived in the gym and saw Shade talking with Ozpin.

"Scarlet, wait here. I'll be right back." Said Chris, leaving towards Shade.

"Is he getting him now?" asked Scarlet.

"I think so. Why? Nervous?" asked Audrey.

"I'm about to meet my idol. Of course I'm nervous!" said Scarlet, shaking.

Not long after that sentence, Chris started walking back with Shade. It was only a matter of seconds before they got to the group.

"That was fast." Said Audrey.

"Hello Audrey. Olivia. And you must be Miss Eclipse." Said Shade, smiling.

"Oh, u-um h-hello sir." Said Scarlet.

Shade let out a hearty laugh. "No need for nervousness Miss Eclipse." Said Shade.

"Now see, that's where you would be wrong sir. You were a legend among men where I lived. I do need to be nervous." Said Scarlet.

"I see. If that's true you must have heard some stories about me." said Shade.

"Many. But, if I may make a request, may I see your grim form?" asked Scarlet.

"Of course Miss Eclipse." Said Shade, going grim and smiling, revealing his golden teeth.

"Wow. The original Blood Brother." Said Scarlet.

Shade then returned to normal before cracking his neck.

"It has been far too long since I did that. Nice to meet you Miss Eclipse. I am sure we will see each other again." Said Shade smiling to her, before walking back to Ozpin.

Scarlet looked as if she was about to faint.

"See, told you he was laid back." Said Audrey.

"Still in awe huh Scarlet?" asked Chris.

"Just a bit. Give me a minute." Said Scarlet.

Not long after people started to pile into the gym to get ready for the assembly. Once everyone was there, Ozpin and Shade got on stage to make a brief announcement before telling the students to set up in the gym and be ready for their test tomorrow.

Chris, Audrey and Olivia all got set up and Scarlet set up next to them.

"Not long now. Tomorrow we enroll at Beacon." Said Chris.

"Not a guarantee." Said Olivia.

"I know, but we were trained by full-fledged hunters and huntresses. I think we've got a good chance." Said Chris.

"Really? Full-fledged hunters and huntresses?" asked Scarlet.

"Yeah. We started training when we were five." Said Audrey.

"You have had twelve years of training from full-fledged hunters and huntresses?" asked Scarlet, shocked.

"Yeah. We got our weapons when we were five on Christmas, the next week we started training." Said Olivia.

"You guys are shoe-ins for enrollment." Said a voice from behind them.

Chris turned around to see a girl wearing a bandana around her forehead. She was dressed in a full length black night gown. She looked to have medium length hair that went down to her shoulders, and it looked like it was blonde.

"Hello. I don't believe we've met." Said Chris.

"Right. My name's Heather. Pleasure to meet you." Said the girl.

"Pleasure is all mine. My name's Chris. These are my sisters Audrey and Olivia, and our friend Scarlet." Said Chris.

"Nice to meet you all, but we should really get to sleep now. We'll need rest for tomorrow. See you later." Said Heather, laying down.

The other four said goodnight and went to sleep.

After a long sleep, the three kids woke up at the same time. They started getting ready, with Scarlet and Heather waking up while they were.

"Morning." Said Olivia.

"Good morning." said Scarlet, getting up and ready. After everyone was ready they left for beacon cliffs. They arrived to see Ozpin and Shade there, waiting.

They got set up for their enrollment test. Not long after, everyone else was there and Shade gave the same speech that Ozpin gave about their test.

Everyone got ready to be launched. Chris was launched first, followed by Audrey, then Olivia. After a few more Scarlet was launched, followed by Heather.

Chris grabbed a tree branch and swung, launching himself towards another tree, swinging his way down to the ground before running. After a few minutes of running, he slowed down. While walking through the forest he heard a high pitched voice cheering. It sounded like whoever it was was having a great time. He followed the sound, hoping to find a teammate. He got to where he heard the sound to see Scarlet cutting down a pack of Ursa with a pair of swords. Chris activated his gauntlets as he saw an Ursa behind Scarlet. He dashed forward and hit the Ursa with an uppercut, sending it into the air. He shot a few ice dust rounds at it, freezing it, before jumping up after it. When he got to the same elevation as it, he sent it back down to the ground. It made impact, cracking the ice. He fell down, shattering the ice with a punch, killing the Ursa. He turned to see Scarlet, cutting down the final Ursa. She put her swords in their sheathes that were hanging from her waist.

"Hey Chris. Thanks for the assist." Said Scarlet, turning around and locking eyes with Chris.

"No problem. Guess we're teammates now." Said Chris, walking over to Scarlet.

"Great. I was hoping to end up on the same team as at least one of you three." Said Scarlet.

"Wish granted. By the way, dual wield longswords." Said Chris.

"I told you Vincent Fall was my idol." Said Scarlet.

"Interesting." Said Chris.

"Thank you." Said Scarlet.

"So, any idea where to go to find the relics?" asked Chris.

"I happened to overhear a few students talking about it, they seem to think it's just over this hill." said Scarlet.

"Alright. Let's go then." Said Chris.

He and Scarlet began walking up the hill, getting over it quickly. After reaching the peak they saw what looked like a temple. Beginning to climb down they saw that there were two people already there. Getting closer, they recognized them as Audrey and Olivia.

"Hey girls." Said Chris after he got behind them.

"Hey bro. Scarlet." Said Olivia.

"Looks like we have the first pick of the pieces." Said Audrey.

"Yeah." Said Scarlet.

Audrey then picked up a black knight. Scarlet then grabbed the other.

"I guess we need to get back to the top of the cliffs now." Said Chris, as the four began trekking back through the whole forest, reaching the cliffs quickly as they didn't meet any opposition on the way back.

"That was fast." Said Olivia.

"Yeah. I noticed." Said Audrey.

When they reached the top of the cliffs, they were greeted by Shade and Ozpin at the top.

"Well done." Said Ozpin.

"Very well done." Said Shade.

After a few hours, all the students had entered the gym again as the teams were announced.

"Randy Lee, William Unger, Ian Smith, Nate Johnson. The four of you retrieved the Black Rook pieces. From now on you will work together as Team RUIN. Led by Randy Lee. Heather Jones, Allison Davis, Zachary Williams, Ethan Moore. The four of you retrieved the White Bishop pieces. From now on you will work together as Team HAZE. Led by Heather Jones. Chris Fall, Audrey Fall, Olivia Fall, Scarlet Eclipse. The four of you retrieved the Black Knight pieces. From now on you will work together as Team CAOS. Led by Chris Fall." Said Shade, announcing the final three teams.

"Looks like this will be an… exciting year." Said Shade, smirking.

After all the teams cleared out of the gym, all the teams had went to their dorms.

"Alright. Teamed with three Blood Brothers." Said Scarlet.

"Yeah. Lucky you." Said Chris, smirking.

"And there's the arrogance." Said Olivia.

Chris just shrugged. The girls just shook their heads. As they all set up, Scarlet realized there was only three beds.

"Why are their only three beds?" asked Scarlet.

"This is why." said Olivia, beginning to hover.

"Altering gravity. Cool." Said Scarlet.

"Yeah. Alright. Tomorrow, we start our training at beacon academy." Said Chris, getting in bed.

"Yeah. We really made it." Said Audrey.

"Let's get a lot of sleep. It isn't going to be easy." Said Olivia.

"This will be quite the experience." Said Chris as they all went to sleep.

Chris woke up before anyone else. Looking outside he saw the sun was just starting to rise.

"Might as well start getting ready." Said Chris. He got into the shower and got dressed in his school uniform. When he got out, he saw that all his teammates were still asleep.

"I guess I'll go get some fresh air." Said Chris, leaving and going to the roof.

When he got to the roof he noticed it was a little windy. Not too windy, but there was a pleasant breeze, causing his hair to be blown to the side. He sat on a bench and watched the sun rise.

"Hey Chris." Said a voice from behind him.

Chris turned to see Heather.

"Hey Heather. Ready for the first day?" asked Chris, smiling.

"Of course. How about you?" asked Heather.

"You need to ask? I've been ready my whole life." Said Chris.

"Don't think I'm going to let you out do me." said Heather.

"That sounds like a challenge." Said Chris.

"It is." replied Heather.

"Oh, it's on." Said Chris, a challenging look on his face.

Chris and Heather continued talking for a while. After his conversation with Heather, Chris decided to go back to his room. Once he got there, his teammate started to wake up, on after the other.

"About time you three." Said Chris.

"What?" asked Audrey.

"I've been up since sunrise." Said Chris.

"Why?" asked Scarlet.

"I'm an early riser." Said Chris.

After everyone else was ready, they left for their first class. Professor Port greeted them as they walked in.

"Ah. Headmaster Fall's children and Miss Eclipse, correct?" asked Professor Port.

"Yes." Said Chris.

"Just as diligent as your father. Good." said Port.

"You taught our father as well?" asked Olivia.

"Yes. Your father was one of my best students. Your mother was my second best." Said Port.

"Good to know." Said Audrey.

"I believe you will excel in this class, at least if your parents are any indication." Said Port, smirking.

'Alright, class number one. This is the beginning.' thought Chris.
