RWBY's Monstrous Education

Seregios

A/N: As always, thanks to my good friend qazse for help with scripting and reactions.

"I'm getting the scary spiky one?" Velvet asked, a bit fearfully.

"Well, not so much spiky as covered in hundreds of blades, but yes." Katana confirmed.

"Wouldn't something a little nicer and softer be better?" Coco asked, concerned for her partner.

"She's already nice and soft enough. She needs a bruiser by her side so people like Cardin will never even think of attacking her. And I think this one in particular might just give you a few things to think about, Velvet." Katana explained.

"Well, I guess if you say so..." Velvet said with a bit of hesitation.

"I wanna see it! It looks so cool covered in sharp things!" Ruby cheered.

"Yeah, let's do it!" Yang agreed.

"Maybe I could get some ideas from this, too, about new weapons I could make with my semblance." Cinder pondered.

"Well, it looks like everyone's in agreement. Let's do this!" Katana declared.

A familiar scene was shown where the hunters exploring an abandoned forest gathered together, before one of them was snatched away with a scream as Rage's voice echoed out ominously. "A bladed terror soaked in blood, claiming an empire of corpses. Only one thing goes through a hunter's mind when faced with the screaming fury... STEVE!" Rage declared as the taken hunter was thrown back at the feet of the others.

A girl was then heard singing for some reason. "~Thought there was a chance we'd be alone!. I could've wished a thousand wishes, for Steve to disappear! What the fuck's your fucking problem!? Why's he always here! Do-do-do-DO-do-do-do- Steve! Do-do-do-DO-do-do-do- Go away! What's the deal with your friend Steve- oh, hey! How's it going~?!" She sang as two of the hunters took the now injured one away to safety as the leader told them to run while he would stall for time and as he said this, the beast landed behind him.

Nora broke out laughing at this. "That's so good! Take that, Steve! Bet you won't always be there now!" She declared.

"Why would anyone have a problem with Steve? It's a pretty name." Ruby asked in confusion, but also with a slight pout, offended someone would make fun of someone's name like that.

Pyrrha blushed, likely thinking she knew why the singer had hostility towards this "Steve" character. "I think I know why she's a bit... upset with Steve." She admitted.

"Stupid third wheels, cutting into romance times..." Blake grumbled under her breath.

"Oh yes, fellow hunters! Welcome today as we explore this bloodthirsty stalker, Steve! Or, I guess his birth name, Seregios." Rage explained as face hidden in the fog of Frenzy Virus, only red eyes glowing, before it raised its head, exposing its face as it roared in fury, the scales around his neck rattling as he did so.

Everyone flinched as the Frenzied beast roared and those razor-sharp scales rattled. Especially Velvet, who leapt behind the couch, fearfully peeking up after a few moments. "I-I had a Charlie Horse." She explained.

"So, why does he keep referring to this fierce, dangerous creature as Steve, perhaps the least threatening name I've ever heard?" Ironwood questioned.

"Well, legends say that when the first expedition team went out and discovered Seregios, since they were out in the middle of the field and got attacked by this thing out of nowhere, they didn't have time to sit down and come up with a name for it, so the hunter decided to call it Steve for the time being." Katana explained. [1]
