Chapter I
Good and evil, right and wrong; Makoto Yuuki had thought he had plenty of experience with what was seen as good and bad in society. He may have had some incidents in the past which might of changed the way he viewed things compared to others, yet ultimately he was a good person.
He fought a battle deemed impossible and rid the world of what he thought was truly evil; Nyx and the dark hour. However this cost him the ultimate sacrifice; his own life.
He wasn't actually dead, yet he wasn't alive. He spent years, maybe even decades in this state. Not knowing if he was awake or sleeping, drifting throughout the collective unconsciousness. His senses were stripped away from him, yet he could still feel the world.
Will this ever end? He would think to himself, his mind eventually began to fill with uncertainty. Every thought like this caused a crack in the seal which his soul made up, realising this he tried keeping himself together.
Eventually large chunks of the seal were missing, and Erebus's roars and screeches got louder as it realised the seal was cracking. Makoto began to doubt his strength as the seal, only causing the seal to corrode even more and it was like this how the seal which separated Nyx and Erebus became undone.

Roman Torchwick was not having a good day, between robbing dust stores and keeping the white fang in check he barely had the chance to relax for even a minute. The woman he was working for, Cinder, hadn't even provided him an end goal or anything of the sort; so all he could do was steal, recruit more members of the White Fang and keep away from the police.
All was going well, and he didn't really mind doing all the hard work such as working with the white fang and organising the robberies and dust. However Cinder sending him out to Mountain Glenn was a completely different thing. A place known to be abandoned and overrun by grimm was surely going to be more trouble than what it is worth.
Roman had taken a small group of the White Fang to search the area, a city destroyed by grimm; and hopefully would help their group break into Vale and lead the Grimm into the Kingdom. Lost in his own thoughts Roman accidentally splits off from the group and ends up alone.
"Oh great, I somehow managed to lose those filthy animals," cursing at himself Roman begins to call out for the members.
"Mr. Tiger? Miss Deer? Absolutely useless." Torchwick kept strolling casually through the ruin streets of Mountain Glenn, growing even more uneasy as the growls of grimm came to his ears. The alarm bells in his head began to ring, so he quickened his pace and stopped calling out for his lost comrades. He then tried to retrace his steps, which somehow only ended up with him being even more lost.
"Just where is this damn entrance to the underground city," he grumbles to himself as breaks into a run as the growling of a grimm grows louder. Only now do the grimm start showing themselves and start running after him, it didn't take long for a whole pack to be hot on his tail. The growling and roars of the grimm was almost deafening at this point for poor Roman, who was now sprinting down the broken streets of the abandoned city. The destroyed buildings became a blur to Roman as he was running as hard as could, not even caring what direction he was going in anymore. He turned back to look at the grimm behind to see there was even more than before. Whilst looking back he lost balance and felt himself smash into something. He tried standing up, however his head was spinning like crazy and he could barely focus on what he just crashed into. Blue? It's human I think. They aren't wearing the White Fang uniform, are they a huntsman? Still disorientated from the hit and forgetting about the imminent danger behind him stumbled forward towards the blue haired boy.
"Take it easy," the boy spoke in a quiet yet surprisingly deep voice, "I think I can hold them off for a bit." The boy picked up a strange looking blade off the ground and a pistol. Roman just stared as the boy sprinted towards the grimm and engaged in combat. His head spin not getting any better, Roman just found himself collapsing and letting it all fade to black.

A hard ground and a sore neck is what the blue haired boy woke up to, slightly disorientated as well. Calm for someone who just woke up in a completely destroyed suburbian area, with no recollection of where they were, why they were here, how they got here and with absolutely no recollection of who they were.
He thought this sort of odd predicament must be kind of normal to him, for he was a calm as one could be in a situation like this. He began searching his person for any hints on who he was, and he found was a mp3 player and headphones, a dead cell phone, a strange blue key, a wallet and a holster on his hip. Having a look in the wallet he found a student ID card, and a large sum of money.
"Makoto Yuuki, Second Year at Gekkoukan High," he read quietly. Having a quick look around the area he found two weapons, a strange looking blade which had a unique hilt and an… evoker? It looked like a pistol from its design, yet Makoto knew that it wasn't a pistol, yet had a different use entirely. The blue haired boy heard the sounds of roars, and what seemed to be a stampede. His curiosity piqued Makoto decided to check out what was going on. He put the evoker in the holster, and picked up the blade and began to run towards where the noise came from. Turning a corner a large group of black creatures came into view, with what appeared to be a red haired man running away from them. Shadows? The man was looking back at the crowd and didn't see the boy standing there, and ran into Makoto who was attempting to take in the situation. Makoto picked himself up and noticed the redhead was having trouble standing. Adrenaline filled Makoto, and he gripped his sword harder and instinctively wielded the false gun
"Take it easy… I think I can hold them off for a bit."
Makoto charged towards the group of werewolf like creatures, jumping and slashing at the first one he came into contact with. Somehow within the matter of seconds he was surrounded by all of them, and chose a simple stance which had a solid guard yet was ready for going on the offensive. He quickly formulated a plan in his head. He had no clue how to use the evoker so he unequiped it and quickly jumped back and twisted around attacking the monster blocking his way, however another creature was behind it and Makoto was hit hard and sent flying. Luckily enough he was sent towards the other man and wasn't wounded too much.
Makoto picked up the redhead's body and ran for the closest building which could still be entered. Makoto going as fast as one could began climbing the building, hearing the scampering of the creatures coming closer and closer as he climbed up flights of steps. Coming to the fifth landing he decided to stop and make here his chosen battleground. The grimm appeared within seconds of him stopping, but due to the restricted space, it was hard for so many of them to move around, making it easier for Makoto to fight one on one.
Surt. Suddenly the blade in his hand extended and a yellow flame came off from the blade, ignoring what just happened Makoto strikes at the first monster, slashing it and it attempts to attack back. Makoto dodges the attack and attacks vertically slicing the creature in half. He moved onto the second, attacked, dodged and attacked again. The fight was fairly repetitive yet made easy because of the environment which let Makoto hold the advantage in battle. Within minutes all the creatures were slayed, and Makoto's blade had returned to normal.
"Well then… That was very interesting," a very cocky sounding voice came from behind Makoto, looking back he saw it belonged to the man he just saved.
"What's your name kid?" The man asked, curiosity evident in his voice.
"Can't you be a bit more grateful," Makoto mumbles under his breath.
"What was that boy?" The man growled.
"Nothing, nothing. Makoto Yuuki is my name," the man eased up and became amused by Makoto's responses.
"The name's Roman Torchwick, now then why don't you tell me why you're here kiddo." Makoto was beginning to get pissed off by this guy's attitude, he just saved his ass and now he's acting all cocky. However Makoto decided to play it cool,
"That is what I would like to know, I don't know how I got here or even where here is. Also the fact I don't know where I came from either doesn't help." Roman looked like he just won the lotto, a smile permeating on his face.
"Well then, you need help and I need help. So why don't we help each other?" Makoto grew suspicious, but felt like he had no choice but to accept.
"What kind of help do you need?" Makoto asked with a tinge of hesitation in his voice. Roman began to laugh,
"Oh, you will see…" Torchwick began walking down the stairs, indicating for Makoto to follow him. Just what is going to happen from here on… Makoto wonders to himself as he follows Torchwick.
