Death Rides on Swift Wings: a RWBY x Male Reader x Highschool DxD Story

Chapter 50: Salem

Hey everybody, it's your friendly neighborhood Author Man here!

I've been going back, reminiscing on some of my earlier projects. And I have a question.

Do you guys want me to bring Saturday Morning Cartoons back?

For those of you who are new, or just don't remember (I don't blame you), Saturday Morning Cartoons is a series of stories based on old cartoons. I tried to update these stories every saturday morning, hence the name. For an example, my Kirby male reader x BNHA was the first (and last) of this series.

But yeah, do you guys want me to bring this back? I think it could be really cool. If you think I should bring it back, give me some ideas for cartoons.

See ya in another life Brotha!

*Y/n POV*

I slowly opened my eyes, feeling chains and shackles tied around my legs and arms. I looked around, seeing I was tied to a chair, in a massive black room.

"Oh good, you're up."

I turned to my right, seeing a hot woman with black hair and a red dress standing there. She walked closer, examining me.

"Who the f*ck are you?" I asked.

"Not important," She said, "Right now, lady Salem is dying to meet you."

'Salem? That the Grimm lady right?'

She pulled me to my feet, and attached a chain to the shackle around my neck. She jerked the chain, and pulled me out of the room.

I tried to break the chains, but no matter how hard I pulled, they wouldn't break.

"Don't even bother," The black haired woman said, "These chains were specially designed to hold you, and only you. They won't break."

"Well, alright then."

She forced me into a large room, which looked like a throne room. I looked around, taking in the massive room. My eyes eventually landed on the woman at the front of the room. She had white skin, and black veins all over.

The black haired lady kneeled down, and pulled my chain, forcing me to kneel as well.

"Thank you, Cinder," The woman, lady Salem I could presume, "Welcome to my castle, Lord Gremory."

"Thanks for having me," I said sarcastically, "It would be nicer if I weren't chained up."

Salem chuckled, "If we did that, you'd just try to kill us all."

"Yeah." I shrugged.

"Anyway," She said, "While you're here, I would like to propose a deal with you."

"A deal?"

"Yes," She said, walking down to me, "You serve as the leader of my Grimm army, and in return, I will do anything you want."

She put a hand under my chin, and lifted my face so I was looking at her. She looked at me with a sultry gaze, apparently thinking something I was not.

"Come on Y/n," She purred, sending shudders down my spine, "Together, we're unstoppable.~"

"You know, while that does sound... enticing," I said, "I'm going to have to respectfully decline. Great Red!"

Great Red's gauntlet formed on my arm, and I snapped the chains.

"You shouldn't be able to do that." Salem said, oddly calmly.

"You designed these to hold me, Y/n Gremory, but I have the power of five dragons inside of me." I explained, "Pretty simple."

"Fine then," She said, "Give me your best shot."

"Divine Dragon: Holy Fist!"

My gauntlet began to glow brightly, and I charged at Salem. I jumped into the air, and reeled back my fist, sending a punch flying at her.

"Die!" I yelled.

I expected to destroy her in an instance, but instead, I felt something stop my fist.

I looked to her, and saw that she had grabbed my fist. She wrapped her hand around my wrist, and threw me at a wall.

I crashed into it and fell to the ground, spitting out some blood.

"Holy shit..." I said weakly, "How the f*ck did that happen?"

"Y/n,"Great Red's voice came to me, "She's powerful. Even with the five dragons, she managed to defeat you. I'm sorry."

"Don't beat yourself up," I said, "I just need to hit a little harder!"

I jumped back up, yelling, "Divine Dragon: Divine Blade!"

I pulled out Ascalon and ran at her, as Ascalon began to glow. I ran at her, slicing in a diagonal at the last second.

She stopped my blade with a single hand, and pulled it out of my hand. She kicked me into a wall, and threw Ascalon. Ascalon pierced my gut, impaling through me into the wall.

"F*ck..." I said weakly, my vision darkening.

I saw Salem walk closer to me, and leaned down to my face.

"Goodnight Y/n," She said, as my vision went black, "Maybe you'll be more open to negotiation when you wake up."
