Chapter 1

A Normal Life

"A Lord of Remnant has immense power and with it he may do whatever he wants, with none to challenge him except maybe four equally strong young women. Your fellow Lords are merely doing as their parents order them to do, you don't. I believe that you will break this cycle of abusing this power that was gifted to us, your life is your own and no one else controls it but you.

Night had descended upon the great city of Vale with the moon high and bright in the sky, perfect time for all of the rotten lowlifes to come out and prey on those wandering the streets alone. The normally busy and bustling streets and roads were now all but empty as citizens retired for the night. Most except for one shadowed figure that stood on top of a building with the only light coming from a device he had on his forearm. Several small windows continuously popped up and disappeared as he typed away on it, a small loading bar popping up a few seconds later.

EXTRACTING DATA...

EXTRACTING DATA...

DATA EXTRACTED

"They don't even provide a challenge anymore." The figure grumbled in disappointment as he swiped a finger over the screen and sent the data off, but not after making a copy of it. A few seconds later his scroll started beeping in his pocket which made him sigh "yes Torchwick..." He answered with a bored tone.

"HAHA! Kid I gotta tell ya that was some of the fastest hacking I've ever had the good pleasure of experiencing. Now about that what else I wanted to talk abou-"

"I don't care about your plans nor do I wish to join your little revolution...you got it now pay me, less you become the next target."

"Ugh...gotta say I'm a little disappointed in your decision, this would go a lot smoother if-"

"NOW ROMAN!"

"Alright alright! Chill out!"

After a few seconds another beeping distracted him from the scroll and he looked at the device on his wrist again, a smirk appearing on his face as he saw the funds being transferred. "it's been a pleasure." He said before severing the connection and putting his scroll away. The figure then walked to the edge of the building and let himself fall down to the ground "piece of cake."He muttered after he landed and pulled a pack of smokes from a pocket. He lit the cigarette with a zap of green lightning from his fingers then proceeded to walk down the street.

"Better get back to school before I'm missed I suppose...though it is quite the bore, being the only one without a team." He said exhaling a cloud of smoke from his mouth.

"Beacon...home sweet home..."

-Later-

Sneaking back inside the school would've been easy given it was any other night, but as the gods would have it. Another student was sneaking around at the same time he was trying to sneak into his dorm. Neither saw each other before the colliding while going around a corner "ouch!" A feminine voice yelped out while the other let out a light grunt in surprise.

"Geez watch where your going! Oh hey Gabe...gross you smell like smoke!" The girl exclaimed while covering her nose.

"First, that is rude and second I told you not to call me that Ruby" He snapped back.

The male sighed as he stood up and brushed himself off before offering a hand out to his younger classmate who was wearing a tank top and some pajama bottoms with cookie designs covering them. "Why are you wearing that? You look like a stalker." She giggled as she was helped to her feet. A groan came from his mouth as he looked down at his attire and realized she was right. He had some black pants of with a pair of combat boots, a tight black shirt and a black over coat. Topped off with a black hat.

"All that black doesn't match your eyes or hair." Ruby said as he reached up and pulled the hat off, the man once again letting a sigh come from his lips as his semi long bright green colored hair fell down. He quickly fixed it so only one of his eyes, which was the same color as his hair was covered "you my fashion adviser as well?" He asked. The younger girl giggled then shook her head before starting to stare up at the male.

"You have really pretty hair and eyes you know that Gabriel?" She said after a few seconds of awkward silence. "Yeah so I've been told...by plenty of people...except they never stared as long as you have." Gabriel replied with a light smirk on his face.

"Oh...u-um I just remembered I wanted cookies! Bye!" The girl yelled out with a blush before sprinting away in a flash of rose petals.

"It's always amazing how those petals just appear out of nowhere." He chuckled then went back into his room which just happened to be his own personal room. After all he was the only one that didn't have a team which in his opinion was nothing but a blessing since he had the whole room to himself to use as he pleased. Half the room was turned into a a little workshop with tools and dust lining the walls while the other side was used or his bed and other everyday things.

His bed, clothes all the basic necessities along with other items of his. He started removing his clothing until he was in nothing but just a pair of boxers, his body covered in scars and also lightning like tattoos that went from the middle of his back, down his arms and ending just before his wrists. Just as he was about to lay onto his bed a loud blonde called from the other side of his door mere seconds before bursting inside.

"Hey Gabe have you seen Rub-" The long haired blonde froze once she saw Gabriel half naked before her eyes and as said male looked behind her he noticed the rest of the team was staring as well. After a few seconds of very VERY awkward silence Gabriel outstretched his arms and shrugged his shoulders "she went to go get cookies she said now if your not gonna join me do please leave." He answered bluntly.

Yang seemed to consider it and actually took a step forward only to be pulled back out by a certain tomato colored heiress "s-sorry!" Weiss yelled as she slammed the door. The loud banging noise made the teen male cringe before he then sighed and laid on his bed "heh...I like it here after all." He hummed. A light glow pulsed from the tattoos on his body which made him frown while closing his eyes.

"I left because I wanted to get away from that Lord of Remnant nonsense...I thought if I could get far enough away from that damn place I would be fine...I thought I could live a normal life." He mused while staring up at the ceiling. His eyes started to feel heavy and he slowly drifted into sleeps embrace.

-Nightmare-

First person POV

The same dream...every night it's the same damn dream...I I'm in the damn hallway again. Thousands of doors litter the walls and torches dimly light this dark place, the door behind me is being banged on while screams come from it. I never have the courage to open it so i run from it and try every door I can...but no matter how hard i try none of them open, the screams and the banging get louder while the door at the end of the hall seems to get closer and closer. I've ran to try and reach the other end of the hallway but there is no end, it's endless. I run till my feet bleed then i keep running, i try the different doors until my hands bleed from trying to pry them open.

I feel no pain from it as my whole body feels numb as the screams grow louder, finally as i fall to my knees once more i yell and clutch my head for it to stop. It stops but I feel a sense of death and hopelessness instead of relief. Before I wake...one word echoes through my ears, my bones and my soul.

OBEY

-End Nightmare-

Third Person POV

Gabriel shot up in his bed panting as he awoke and looked around his room, his mind didn't register that his hand was covered in green electricity "n-no...I'm ...in control...I'm in control..." The teen growled as he gripped his arm. The sweat that had already accumulated on his body slowly got worse.

Count to three...this power is yours...not your fathers anymore...repeat it...

"O-...one...this power is mine."

"T...UGH!" Gabriel fell to the floor as the electricity went up to his arm, pain erupting in every fiber of his being.

It is testing you, to see if you are worthy. Beat it.

"Two, I am worthy." He forced out from his clenched teeth, the pain and power receding as he stood up from the ground.

"T-Three this power is mine, I am worthy...it no longer belongs to my father." He growled as one more flash of light blinded him and he felt for a moment, tranquility and harmony. After he recovered from the light he looked at his body and noted how it had returned to normal, except of course the large amount of sweat coming from his body.

"Don't worry...this power hasn't beaten me yet Grandpa." He announced to himself before going to get ready for his morning classes as he saw the sun was rising.

-At an unknown location-

Three figures stood around an old stone table and were silent for a moment before one spoke up "it appears baby brother has gotten a step closer to control...though he is far off still."

"It appears so...however we'll bring him back broken and beaten before he can awaken it fully." Another spoke.

The last didn't say anything to the other two who looked to each other then walked away. It was only then that the third person spoke "always the child, always the dreamer...only he would want something as pathetic as that." He growled as his body started to give off waves of energy, the table cracking from the power.

As his anger dissipated he chuckled and walked away as well, his hands slowly tightening into fists.

"Heh...a normal life is the exact opposite of what he'll get."

-Back at Beacon-

Gabriel had gotten himself showered and dressed in time for his first class which happened to be with the most boring teacher ever and the most boring subject ever. The history of grim with Professor Port. Who almost immediately put half the class asleep though despite knowing this he continued on about his numerous feats. Only rarely ever actually focusing on the actual subject he was suppose to be teaching. Gabriel found himself looking out among his fellow bored classmates and allowed himself to day dream until he was interrupted by a paper ball hitting his cheek.

He looked over towards the culprit to see a half asleep Ruby sticking her tongue out at him, the faintest if smiles graced his lips as he returned the playful gesture with one of his own. Not long after the young girl fell asleep with her head on the desk. The smile that had graced his lips before had remained while he watched her sleep. He, the young girl and her team had quickly become friends and since he never had much of those growing up he liked the warm feeling in his chest.

That feeling multiplied as he looked to her teammate Weiss who happened to be staring at him as well, both their faces flushed and they quickly averted their gaze from one another. In the Emerald forest both he and Jaune had attempted to catch the falling heiress which resulted in the two boys slamming into each other in midair. The embarrassing part about it was Gabriel still managed to catch the girl but then landed on his back, the wind being knocked out of him and dazing him for a few seconds. However once he regained the air in his lungs he noticed how he had caught Weiss, one of his hands was on her upper back while the other was dangerously close to her butt.

If that wasn't bad enough their faces were mere inches apart which Weiss didn't notice until she too recovered from the fall and once she did she went bright red along with the teen boy who caught her. Yang whistled at the two of them which broke them out of their awkward staring contest and they both tried to move, Weiss attempted to push off Gabriel's chest while he tried to sit up. The result was Weiss straddling him and their crotches pressing against one another "u-um, my bad?" The green haired boy offered in apology only to get a hard slap across his face.

Weiss then shoved him down and roughly used him to push herself up onto her feet "d-do that again and your gonna be on the end of my blade." She mumbled down to him before walking away with her arms crossed.

The thought of the memory had sent a shiver down his spine and he could tell it did the same to Weiss as he noted how she lightly shivered and sat up straighter he quickly wrote 'I'm sorry' onto a piece of paper then tossed it at the heiress who spotted it and snatched it out of the air. Port was too absorbed in his telling of how he chopped three heads off three separate Grim with one sweep of his Axe.

After she had read it she glared at him with a blushing face then wrote something on the same paper then flung it right back at him, though it hit him in the forehead as he wasn't paying attention. The face he made must have been funny as Weiss covered her mouth and giggled at him, Gabriel smiled at her then read the note 'as long as you never do it again...I suppose i can overlook the position you put me in'

The rest of the class went just like that, the both of them passing notes back and forth at a slow rate since Weiss wanted to focus on the lesson but then would get hit by a second paper courtesy of the green haired teen. Once class was over he stood up and waited for most of the students to file out so he wouldn't get caught up int the traffic "finally." He breathed once h got out of the room.

Right behind him was Weiss and her team "Gabe!" Their leader yelled as she tackle hugged Gabriel who grunted in surprise "h-hey Ruby." He groaned out. As they walked and talked he couldn't help but notice Weiss glancing at him every now and then "got a crush on him?" Yang asked rather loudly with a grin.

"Shut up." Weiss responded then made her way up to Gabriel "hold still." She ordered then reached towards him, the male closing his eyes and prepared to get slapped again. However he felt a tug on his tie and looked to see her fixing it for him "I refuse to be seen with a dolt who can't even fix his tie for himself." She told him.

When she was almost finished she looked up as Gabriel looked down, her ice colored eyes meeting his bright green ones. The two of them again stared at each other until Yang whistled again. Both teens stepped away from each other and started to make their way to class, Gabriel ended up behind Weiss and watched how she walked. with a sense of confidence and authority. That feeling from when their eyes met came back and he found himself staring at her sheer beauty, his heart started beating faster and his face started to redden.

Weiss turned and looked at him "you coming you dolt?" She asked before giving him a tiny smile which only made that feeling in Gabriel's chest grow more.

"Y-Yeah im coming." He said walking after her and once he got closer he saw that she too was blushing a little. After that he walked next to the heiress, both glancing at each other when they thought the other wasn't looking.

"Second day and I already fell for someone...yeah I'm gonna love it here." He hummed with mental delight, now all he had to do was make it thorough the rest of this damn schools classes.

I actually completed this faster than i thought and do hope everyone enjoys it though it is short. Sorry! and , if you don't then at least leave a review so i can get better. That being said all constructive criticism is welcome but if you turn out to be an asshole then eh I could use the laugh at your comments, now I'll start writing the next chapter probably tomorrow or the day after but don't expect me to update every day. Cause I can't do that too lazy. Thanks for reading and hope you have an great day! Cya!
