Chapter 1

"Hya!" Ruby let out a grunt of effort as she swung her scythe, decapitating a Beowulf with ease. As the tip of the blade bit into the soil, she pulled the trigger, sending a 50 caliber round through the gut of another Beowulf behind the first one.

Ruby took a deep breath as she looked around the forest clearing where her team was doing battle. It was one of the simple missions designed to simply keep their skills sharp. All they had to do was clear out a pack of Beowulves that had made their home near the walls of Vale. Each of her teammates was doing as well as she was, tearing through the Grimm by the dozens with no difficulty.

Yang grinned as she punched the Beowulf in front of her, caving its chest in. It stumbled backward, tripping up several Grimm behind it. As they all tried to extricate themselves from the dog pile they found themselves in, Yang leaped up and punched in the center of the group, discharging her gauntlet into the middle of the Beowulves, causing them all to dissolve.

Weiss was dashing around the battlefield, bouncing from glyph to glyph, face a mask of concentration. She finally stopped, staying in one place and casting several Dust-augmented glyphs to burn, entrap, bisect, and various other methods of execution for the Beowulves.

Blake was jumping around, throwing her blade from enemy to enemy, slashing at them with the heavy outer blade of Gambol Shroud. Leaving her doubles behind her to serve as distractions for the Grimm, she was able to easily outrun and outmaneuver all of the Beowulves she fought.

While there were large numbers of Beowulves, the battle went easily, the skill and training of the four girls allowing them to easily dispatch the pack of Grimm. Everything was going fine and dandy, until the Alpha of the pack showed up.

The giant jackal-like Grimm roared, smashing its fists against the ground. The four girls readied their weapons before charging at the monster as a group. "Nightfall!" Ruby cried out, directing Blake and Yang to dash forward and execute one of their combo attacks.

Blake ran ahead, tossing the blade of her kusarigama behind her towards Yang. Yang caught the grip of the sword and stopped, crouching on the ground. Blake kept running, and as soon as she felt the ribbon become taut in her grip, stopped and pulled forward. Yang jumped up, firing down to add extra height. She swung up and over Blake, before swinging down towards the Alpha Beowulf. She released the blade at the right time to fly directly towards it, firing her gauntlets at the Grimm.

Blake, Weiss, and Ruby bolted towards the Grimm as Yang's shots staggered it. They began swiping and stabbing and shooting, and the battle was over in an unexpectedly short time. The four girls stowed their weapons and surveyed the battlefield, filled with broken shrubbery and branches, as well as half-decayed Grimm body parts. "Well that was fun!" Ruby said towards her teammates.

Yang's eyes got wide as she saw one final Beowulf creep out of the trees behind her sister. "Ruby, look out!" she cried out, activating Ember Celica once more. She began running towards Ruby as her sister turned, trying to draw her weapon but getting it caught in a bush. No no no! Yang thought as she started shooting over her sister to attack the Beowulf. However, only clicking greeted her ears – she was out of ammo.

Ruby drew back, reluctant to abandon her baby. She was about to activate her Semblance to pull a last-minute escape, when a black shape threw the Grimm to the side. Her eyes, as well as the eyes of her teammates, followed the shape and saw two Beowulves, one attacking the other!

The two Grimm tussled for a moment, before one achieved a decisive victory and tore the other's throat out with its claws. The victorious Grimm paused for a moment, shaking the blood off his claws before looking at the four girls. "Well don't all thank me at once."

Team RWBY froze. One thought was shared across their minds. Did that just. . . They stared at the Grimm, blinking rapidly out of shock. The Grimm just stared back, blinking as well. "Uh. . . hello?" The Grimm spoke once more, this second time breaking the four Huntresses out of their stasis.

"AAAHHHHH!" Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang screamed in unison as they activated their weapons and began firing at the creepy Grimm. "Please stop shooting please stop shooting please stop shooting!" the Grimm said, running around in circles with its hands over its head, bullets bouncing off it.

AN:

So here's the first chapter for Soulless Fiend. This isn't intended to be anything serious or long or anything like that. It's just kinda intended to be for any humorous situations I think of, or that other people request that I can fulfill.

This is why the "prologue" was about the definition of a Grimm. Because here we see a Grimm that is decidedly un-Grimmlike.
