Sooooo I decided to do this crossover with Mortal Kombat and RWBY. This story will have random updates till I finish my other stories. The team I have for Beacon Academy team name will be KEJS (Cages). I'll be impressed if you can figure out the team members before I release the full team. The first member I'm giving you. If have any team pairing request please let me know. I'll explain how these worlds are going to clash in the first chapter of the real story line. Also I'm going to be pairing Ruby up with someone. Please R&R.

Also I don't own RWBY Rooster Teeth does and the MK characters belong to Netherrealm.

Chapter 1

A lone figure is seen on his knees in mud, his shoulders are visibly shaking, rain pelts him from above, and on closer inspection he is seen to be in a big puddle. Lightning strikes and lights up the night sky and the scene below, the figure is a young teen barely about 16. Another streak of lightning strikes, and shows that the teen is not sitting in a pool of water….. but is in fact, in a pool of blood. Bodies litter the ground around him, many have deep cuts, and most if not all have been either decapitated, sliced open, or have a limb missing. Weapons ranging from maces to kunai, from rifles to revolvers are scattered among the bodies.

The teen is seen holding a small body while two more lie in front of him. Each body was littered with cuts, bruises, and holes; he held the body of his younger sister. She had long purple hair that cascaded a little past her shoulders, blood coating it in various place. Her brown eyes were desperately clinging onto her life, as she stared at her older brother. She had barely turned 13 years old, her face was swollen and bruised from receiving various blows to the face.

The other two bodies were the bodies of his mother and his father. His mothers chocolate brown hair was tied into a bun. Her face had various cuts and bruises from the earlier fight, and her blue eyes stared off into the rain with no sign of life in them. His father had received the worst of the beating. His short raven black hair had been singed, cut, and speck of blood in it. His right ear was gone, a deep cut showed on his face that started from the top of his left eye and stopping at the bottom of his chin. The worst of his injuries was at the back of his head. The back of his skull had been caved in due to a mace repeatedly hammering the back of it, blood continually oozed from the wound, bits of his father's skull and chucks of brain sat on the ground.

"Big brother", a soft but broken voice called from his sister. She was surprised at all the energy it took for her to utter a few words. "I'm….. I'm sorry I… I didn't fight hard enough."

"No. No Vi you… you did good. I couldn't have fought any better. You gave it your all and that's what mattered. I'm proud of you." The teen pulled Violet closer to him and held her tight. Violet tried to put on her best smile, she felt her head get bigger as her dad would say when she heard her brother say he was proud of her. Her smile only lasted for 2 seconds till she winced in pain from all the pain it took just for her to make a simple face movement.

"Brother..." Violet started to say but was cut off.

"No Vi. Stop using your energy to talk and focus on channeling it to your aura. It'll kick in; in a bit I'm sure of it." Her bigger brother said with sureness in his voice, although she could tell it was close to cracking.

"Not this time big bro. Not even both of our auras together could heal me." For every word she said she felt her energy drain and a strong urge to close her eyes hit her. "This time it's time for me to go."

"No. NO!" her brother's voice finally cracking. She felt his hot tears falling on her cheeks; the tears were a welcomed presence against the cold rain. Her eyes were slowly closing. She put her hand to his cheek, her hand felt like lead and it threatened to fall at any second. Her brother lifted his hand to hers and squeezed, the hold telling her to hold on as long as she could.

"Goodbye, Takahashi. I love you, big broth…" She didn't wasn't able to finish the last word, as an endless sleep had taken a hold of her. Takahashi felt Violets hand slacken and slip from his hold. Tears started to fall like the rain around him, he had lost everything his home was no longer a home but a grave, his family had been slaughtered, and him family's possessions had been taken.

"Goodbye Vi. I love you too." He leaned down and kissed his sisters head. For the past 13 years he had looked after his baby sister. He had begged and pleaded his mom and dad to let her sleep in his room when they first brought her home from the hospital. He would always make sure she was buckled into her seat before he would strap into his own booster seat. They were inseparable when they grew older, there was hardly a time when they weren't together. Now she was gone, her body limp in his arms, her body drained from all the life essence needed.

Takahashi grew angry with every second that passed; he laid Violets body on the ground, and rose to his feet. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails pierced his skin and drew blood; the drops of blood fell in the puddle of blood. He felt his aura start to regenerate at a much quicker pace, his Semblance had activated because of his anger. Weapons and bodies started to rise a sort of bluish aura started to glow around each one that lifted. Takahashi grit his teeth tightly, images flooded his mind, images of him and his family laughing, playing, and spending time together. Then he looked into the rain and at the sky and yelled defiantly into the air.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" when he yelled his Semblance threw what had been wrapped in the bluish aura in every direction. Bodies threw blood everywhere, swords stabbed into the ground, or into the walls of his home, yet his family's bodies and weapons stayed where they were. Takahashi walked to the bodies of his family and said his goodbyes. He kissed his mothers cheek, he hugged his father's body, and he kissed his sisters head one last time.

"Goodbye my family. I will find the man who did this and I will kill him." He said with anger poured into the last sentence.

Takahashi's POV

I walked away from the scene behind me, and as I did I thought to myself. Now is not the time to cry. Now is not the time to mourn. Now is the time for revenge. I walked to my parents room first, I searched for anything that would be of use to me. I searched through my father's desk and came up with a few hundred lien and a picture of our family. I pocketed them and went to look in my mom's purse; I came up with a few lien and a picture of me and my sister going to Signal. Violet had been just starting and I was going into my third year of it, sadly the picture had been taken three months ago.

Tears threatened to fall once again at the memory of me and Violet on that day. I forced myself not to cry and put all the lien and photos in my wallet. On my way out I saw my dad's favorite pair of red lens sunglasses with a black frame (Imagine the sports style Oakleys), I picked them up and put them on. A digital like HUD showed up after a retinal scan, showing my current aura status – it was at 87% showing the green turning slightly yellow.

I then pocketed my fathers and mothers scroll on the way out of their room, not really knowing why I did. I then walked into my sister's room, the room had various pictures all over the wall with various posters of movies and bands. I smiled when I gazed upon some of the pictures most were of me and her together, some of her and her friends, and a few of her and her best friend/crush. I walked up to her dresser and on top was a picture of me when she had just started getting into photography. I had just turned 13 and was halfway through my first year at Signal Academy, in the picture I wore a dark blue T-shirt, black jeans, and a red baseball cap. On my right was a girl with short choppy black and red hair, with a black skirt and black T-shirt, and wearing a red cape on her back. Then on my left was Violet, she wore a light purple dress and her hair was in a ponytail. It had taken three tries for us to get the picture right but it was worth it in the end.

I smiled at the memory and put the picture in my wallet and looked around her room for anything I could remember her by. Then in the corner of my eye a small little box with a red ribbon caught my eye, I walked up to it and on the top was a little note.

Dear Takahashi, Don't open this till your birthday, 'cuz I know you will find this box somehow. Love Vi. I was tempted to open the box right there but I didn't so I picked up the box, her scroll next to it, and picked up her favorite necklace I got for her at the beginning of the school year. Before I went to my room to pack up what I was gonna take I pulled out my scroll and sent a quick text to two people I needed to talk to. I told them to meet me at the park in 20 min. I pocketed my scroll and went into my family's weapons room.

My father had been a well know hunter from Beacon Academy, my mother wasn't a famous huntress like my dad, and she liked it like that. I walked up to my father's armor and stared at it for what seemed like hours. It was leather armor it had various places where some of Remnant's strongest metal clashed with metal, like the bracers. It was a darkish red, with black details on the sides. (Ok, so I don't know how to describe his armor very good. It's his armor from MKX). I remembered the times when I was younger when my dad would come back from a mission, I would run up to him and hug him while trying to take his sword from its sheath on his back.

I let out a few tears at the memory then started to suit up with it. After about 15 minutes, I was fully armored. I was about the size of my father so it wasn't too loose on me, though I still had room to grow. I walked up to the weapons rack, trying to adjust to the weight and feel of the armor. I picked up a simple dual edged sword and gave it a few swings. I wasn't one for the different options a weapon could turn into, like my sisters dual daggers that could change into single shot railgun dual pistols, but due to her Semblance of speed she could reload or cut you to pieces before you could blink.

I wrapped my sister's necklace on the hilt of the sword and sheathed it on my back. I walked to my room and grabbed a few clothes and stuffed it into a backpack. I took a few more minutes to gather what I needed for my journey around my house, in the end I had a sleeping bag, a box of matches, a bit of food, a few vials of highly explosive Dust, some water, and what I had packed earlier. On my way out the front door I called the emergency line and told them about a killing at the destination of my house. As soon as the call ended I took along look at what used to be my home. The walls were stained with red, walls me and Vi used to draw on. The hardwood flooring that my mom taught me how to dance for hours on end. I felt my heart grow heavy, not knowing when or if I would be coming back to my home, back to the island of Patch. So before I broke down right then and there I slammed the door to what used to be my home and ran into the night to meet the ones I texted earlier. Mr. Taiyang Xiao Long and Yang Xiao Long, the family of my girlfriend of 3 months – Ruby Rose.

- Line Break-

The park I was supposed to meet Yang and Taiyang was about a 5 minute run from my home, so I wasn't surprised that I was the first one there. As I waited for the two I thought about what I was going to tell them and how they would react to my plans. I was so deep in thought that I didn't hear someone walk up behind me.

"You'd better have a good reason to have me come out here at 2 in the morning while I'm on my break from Beacon." A feminine voice said behind me. I turned around to see none other Yang walking my way still rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. She yawned and stretched when she finally reached me, her long blonde hair looked a mess and her clothes showed sign of her quickly getting dressed.

"Where's your dad?" I asked trying not to sound as if I was about to cry. Yang simply shrugged her shoulders and looking more awake. Once she had fully awoken, she was taken back in surprise at the sight of me in my father's armor with a back pack in one hand and my sword strapped to my back. Yang opened her mouth to ask about what was going on, but was interrupted by a voice cutting through the night air.

"Kid, I hope you have a perfectly good reason for me to drag my butt out of bed to meet you here at this hour!" I turned to see a grumpy looking Taiyang walking my way. Once he reached us he raised his eyebrow in a questioning way at the sight of me.

"Kid, does your dad know you have his armor and his favorite shades? 'Cuz I gotta admit it suits you, makes you look just like him when we were at Beacon." The blonde haired man said with a slight smile on his face. If the recents events hadn't occurred, then I would have grinned and felt like I was invincible, but instead I just felt sorrow and before I knew it I broke down and started crying.

At first Yang and her father didn't know what to do, they simply watched for a few seconds before Yang went up to me and hesitantly pulled me into a hug. Taiyang stood there not knowing what to do.

"Hey, Taki what's wrong? What happened?" Yang began going into her 'serious older sibling mode', "Do you need me to get Ruby here, too?"

"No! No please don't get Ruby involved in this please!" I pleaded.

"Whoa! Ok kid what's going on?" Taiyang asked as he stepped up to me.

"My family… my mother, my father, and Vi they're dead." I said as more tears started to fall from my eyes. They looked stunned especially Taiyang, he knew my dad and my mom well and knew that it would take more than a horde of Beowolves, a few Nevermores, and a King Taijitu to put down my parents when they fought together. Yang was the first to react to the bomb I had just dropped on them.

"What?! How…how is that even possible?"

"They…. They came a few minutes before we were about to call it a night…." I told them the whole story how the sound of a Dust bullet rand through the air and hitting my father in his knee, starting the whole fight. We barely had time to grab our weapons from the family armory, before what looked to be hundreds of them burst into the room. Our plan was to fight our way to one of our rooms to call for help but on our way from the armory we had been forced into the garden my mother had planted in the middle of our home with an open roof for sunlight to hit the plants. "We fought there for what seemed like hours, till they drove father to his father to his knees. Soon after mom was forced to the ground and sis and I were knocked unconscious for an hour minutes. When we awoke we saw mom dead and dad holding her body crying and a strange looking older man standing in front of him and another holding a mace. The older man looked at us and said something to dad in another language I didn't recognize. 'Don't you dare touch them' dad said and the man with the mace struck him in the back of the head with it."

Yang held a hand up to her mouth, Taiyang had fallen to his knees his eyes staring into space, tears welling in his eyes. I had long let the tears fall until I felt like had no more tears left, and with my voice broken I continued.

"Vi reacted before I did, she grabbed her dagger and stabbed the man who hit dad in his thigh. The man simply pulled out the knife and kicked her in the side of her head. I went to help but something was holding me back and lifting me in the air. I looked down and saw a greenish hue around me, I looked to the old man and he was holding his hand up with the same hue around his hand. He said to me, 'You boy you are the reason we are here. If it were up to me I would kill you now slowly, painfully, then I would harvest your soul for you to serve me for eternity, but my emperor forbids it.' He said with a sigh. He then threw me against a wall and said he couldn't do anything to Vi though. He turned to the man and gave a nod, the mace wielder then picked her up by wrapping his hands around her throat and he started to beat her."

Yang's sorrow had now turned to anger, her lilac eyes now turned a deadly shade of red, her body started to glow.

" I'll kill each and every one of them!" her gauntlets now mechanizing into its battle form. Taiyang had gotten up and pulled out his scroll.

"I'll call Qrow and a group of other Hunters and we'll hunt them down and kill each and every one of those…." Taiyang was desperately searching through his scroll looking for the names.

"NO!" I yelled at them. They were a bit taken back at my sudden outburst, usually I was not one to let my anger out. I sighed heavily, "No please don't involve anyone. This isn't any ones fight but mine."

They grit their teeth and asked at the same time in a low growl, "WHAT?!"

"It's not anyone's fight but mine. I don't want anyone getting hurt because of this. This is my problem and I will find each and every one of them and kill them." I said in a very serious tone. They looked ready to argue with me but before they could I cut them off. "And before you try to say something to try to stop me, the reason why I'm not letting anyone go is because everyone I know you will call each has a family and if this was to get out of hand, which I know it will these people won't just target them but their families also. I can't let any lives get caught in that, especially you two. Ruby needs you guy and…."

"AND YOU'RE HER BOYFRIEND, FOR OUM'S SAKE!" Yang cut me off. "Did you ever think how she would feel if she knew her boyfriend was out there all alone, fighting and not knowing if you will ever come home."

"You don't think I'm thinking of the affect it will have on her, I love her a lot Yang." I snapped at her.

"If you ever loved my daughter then you would let us help." Taiyang yelled. "You can't take on these guys by yourself kid. What happens when she finds out what happened to you, where you are, and decides to leave to help you? You know more than we do that whenever her friend is in trouble she'll go as far as the ends of Remnant to save them."

I knew that of course, personally. When we had started Signal together in our first year together, me and Ruby had went to the lake a few miles from our home to relax and unwind from all the work. We had dropped our weapons at the tree line a few 100 meters away from the water. We spent the day relaxing in the water, eating cookies I had brought, and having a good day…. when an Ursa Minor had appeared behind us and attacked us. I had told Ruby to get Crescent Rose while I drew its attention. My plan had worked up to the point where Ruby was a stone's throw away when the Ursa had hit me in the chest and left a pretty nasty cut. I fell to my knees and the Ursa let out a blood curdling roar, I knew it was over for me right then and there, but before the Ursa went to deliver the final blow Ruby had somehow made it to me and stood between me and the Grimm. She had her arms extended and she looked ready to die for me. The Ursa hesitated at the action and it swung its massive paw down for a killing blow…. when out of nowhere a blade swung over us and cut the Ursa's arm clean off and then cut in half by a scythe. The Grimm started to evaporate and we turned to see Qrow Branwen with a scowl on his face. That night we had both gotten lectures about going anywhere alone but Yang just smiled and helped my mom wrap my torso in bandages.

"I know that Mr. Xiao Long, that's why I need you both to tell her I'm dead." I said with pain in my voice. As soon as I had said that both their mouths dropped.

"If Ruby thinks I'm dead instead of looking for these people she won't go looking for me. Therefore it'll keep her out of harm's way and I won't put her or you in danger. I wouldn't be able to live with myself knowing that I was responsible for her getting seriously injured….or worse." I turned away from them hugging myself. Ruby had been my friend for 6 years and girlfriend for 3 months. She had been my first girlfriend, my first kiss, and my first friend ever and she had been the best ever….of all time.

"But.." Yang started to argue back, but her father put his hand on her shoulder. She looked at him and she saw that he had tears in his eyes, not for losing his friends since Beacon, not because Takahashi denied us help, but because he knew that Takahashi really loved Ruby and that he was really willing to do anything to keep her safe even if he couldn't be with her. Yang started to cry as Taiyang went to Takahashi.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned to see Taiyang. "As much as it kills me to say this…we will do this for you." As he said those words I let tears fall down my cheeks and nodded my thanks. Yang started to cry even harder and she walked up to me and wrapped me in a tight embrace.

"You come straight home and as fast as you can when you get each and every one of them you hear me?!" Yang said.

I wrapped my arms around her too and squeezed as hard as I could. "I promise."

We let go and I turned to Taiyang and I shook his hand.

"Can I see Ruby one last time before I go, sir?" I asked while pulling down the sunglasses and rubbing my eyes furiously. Taiyang nodded and Yang went to get her bike. Once she arrived I jumped on the back and held onto her for the ride.

It took 5 minutes tops to get there. Yang parked Bumblebee and turned it off.

"Doors unlocked. I need a minute." Yang said her helmet still on, she hadn't moved since we had parked. I nodded to her and walked inside and up the stairs to Ruby's room. I stood and stared at the door not knowing what I'll do. I took a deep breath and opened the door, I saw Ruby fast asleep on her bed. I grabbed her desk chair and put it beside her bed. I sat there for about 5 minutes just watching her sleep, she looked so peaceful and after what she told me about her first days in Beacon she deserved to be at peace. I smiled and caressed her cheek. You see Ruby was supposed to be in her 3rd year at Signal Academy with me but instead she was bumped to Beacon due to her stopping a Dust robbery and she got a personal invite from Beacons headmaster, Ozpin. She was paired with her sister Yang and two others, Blake Belladonna and Weiss Schnee, together they are team RWBY and Ruby is their leader.

I felt Ruby stir slightly, and I brought my attention back to her. For so long she had tried to get me to notice her then one day she got tired of waiting for me to make the first move and just kissed me senseless. I smiled at the memory and leaned over and kissed my head.

"Hey Ruby, I'm glad your back home so you will be near your dad, uncle, and sis when you find out what's happened to me." I grabbed her hand and laced my fingers with hers. Tears falling from my eyes, my heart breaking, and pain seeping into my voice like a river. "I really wish that we could keep going, I wish I could tell you while you were awake that I'm not dead just fighting in a battle that'll take a while but I can't do that. If I do then you will leave beacon and try to find me and follow me till the end of my mission. I wish I could have your help too; together we probably take down this gang in half the time it'll take me to do this on my own. You've been with me through a lot Ruby, we got through a few years of Signal together, killed lots of Grimm together, and survived through a lot of Yang's puns together, that had to have been the hardest of all the challenges."I let out a small chuckle. "But this is something I have to do on my own. I can't put you in danger, I couldn't live with myself if you ever got hurt because of me , and I would probably lose it if you died because of me. So for now this is goodbye." I leaned over and gave a quick peck on the lips and got up to leave. I put the chair back and on the way out of her room I stopped in her doorway.

"I love you Ruby Rose. I promise I will come back for you, I don't know how long it'll take but I will be back. I hope you don't give your heart to anyone else but if you do….. I will understand." And with that I walked out of the room and down the stairs and there at the doorway stood Yang, Taiyang, and Qrow.

"It's time for me to go." Yang walked up to me and hugged me. I returned the hug and we stayed there for a few seconds before she let me go and I reached in my bag and pulled out a black leather jacket and a brown one.

"Here I want you guys to have this. The black one was mine and the brown was for you." Yang went to deny the gift but I stopped her.

"I was gonna give mine to Ruby tomorrow, and mom was going to give you the brown one to you for your birthday." I held them out to her and she took them with a sad smile. I turned to Qrow and Taiyang and I shook both their hands.

"If you ever need anthing, some lien, food, a bed, or someone to talk to, don't hesitate to ask." Taiyang said to me. I nodded a thanks and I looked to Qrow.

"I got a boat at the docks for you. I'm headed to Vale anyways so I'll go with you to there then we will part ways." Qrow said. I simply nodded together we walked out, I turned to look at the home one more time and saw Yang on her knees bawling. My scroll made a noise and I looked at it and read a message from Yang telling me to keep in touch with her, her dad, and uncle. I texted a quick reply back saying I'd try and walked with Qrow to the docks. As we got further and further away from Patch, I felt my sadness turn to determination. Determination to overthrow this gang and come home to Ruby but from now on I no longer exist. Takahashi Kenshi is dead and the ones he loves are safe, and his family will be avenged.

Ok so that's the first chapter in this series. Some of the characters I'm putting in this series from MK will be teens. Also I'm going to put some love drama between Kenshi, Ruby, and an OC I created for this series in the next chapter. Let me know what you think of it so far and thank you. Remember to guess who's all in team KEJS, of course Kenshi is the leader who will be the remaining members.
