I own nothing besides my OC's and anything related to him, anything related to RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum, May he find peace in the embrace of the Gods. (A/N at the bottom.)
EDIT: Right, hi guys and gals, this is a re-written first chapter since we both had literally no sleep during that time and a reviewer pointed out that it looked like another persons fic and neither of us want that, so taa-daa and also do not expect an update for the next two weeks, this was by sheer luck that we managed to get this out there through the business wifi which officially we're not allowed to do but I'm a computer wiz and biologist, strange combo don't ya think?
Either way we hope you enjoy, be sure to hit that follow and favourite button to feed our mojo and feed our drive to make more of this story.
"Hold the line here, I'll be back." A man said with steely determination, unaffected by the swiftly approaching Black Death on the horizon. A pair of seemingly animalistic yellow, worried yet caring pair of eyes met his as he brushed the owner's cheek and kissed her lightly before slowly stepping back. "Grab a rifle...I'm sorry...I love you." He said in a voice that only she could hear. It carried sorrow in unbearable amounts; she was unable to reply, frozen in place as the realisation hit her like a runaway freight train.
She would die on this very hill. The sounds of gunfire and screams of men and women alike dying are muted and distant as she could only stare at the man who promised her he'd take her hand after it was all over, she realised that he'd made that promise knowing that this was all going to happen, that her death would be real. She found it hard to believe that she hated him at one point, the man she grew to trust and eventually fall for, to find out that you have lived and watched yourself and everyone you love grow, live and die so many times it drove him insane was a foreign thing that she was glad she didn't experience, but he did and she wanted to be the light at the end of his tunnel, yet after everything that's happened, he knew she would die and wouldn't do anything about it. No, that he couldn't do anything about it.
I love you to...even if you lose everything again, I pray you start anew...but then again, you've never been one for the quiet life. Was the last thing she thought before she looked over the trenches with a light smile and acceptance to see a set of silvery jaws on a black and seemingly decaying mouth, a sharp icy pain occurred before nothing but white. Not knowing that after her lover had completed his eternal mission, his eternal punishment, he would be granted exactly what you wished for him. And that he says Thank You.
(Don't mind me, just a pain stopping time skip!)
The man awoke in the midst of a clearing of a green forest, Green being the primary word here, lush with the many healthy trees that seemed to mostly be Elm trees, branches stretching out to reach each other to only just fall short of their goal. He could see stars that resemble dancing flames as they sparkle brightly like they weren't supposed to, rather than the ruins of a super-weapon or the burning orange sky like it was supposed to be. He could feel blades of grass brush against his cheeks as a soft wind blows through the area, a distant and final reminder of where he's supposed to be as his nerves finally set alight.
His body ached with every thought; every attosecond would've been pure agony for the average person were it not for his experience in ignoring it. His eyes lit up with a dull blue hue as his mind and the computer within him set to work analysing what the extent of the damage to him is. Nothing major it seems, the odd scrape and burn that would visibly heal in a few seconds. Next came his senses, and realisation of just where he is physically, he doesn't actually know, no connection to any known network could be found anywhere in range of either psionics or electronics.
He took a single deep breath and took note of how the atmosphere is different to that of his home world named Laat, there's only a slight difference, but the percentages that showed up on his HUD showed them in vivid detail as ever. There's a higher concentration of Oxygen and a few differentiations of other core elements in the air, this world seems to be a continental world if he had to guess.
But either way he needs to stop worrying about that and go through the basics, he needs to figure out the level of organisation the locals have on this planet, how technologically advanced they are and how he can survive until he gets the resources required to get him back home. If he can even get back home that is, he did just fire a weapon that was supposed to destroy the fabric of reality at a universal radius, now you might be wondering why did he do that?
Because the universe was on the brink of being completely obliterated by a species that consumes biological and non-biological matter to grow and spread. Essentially a virus, but the virus part was simply a cover for the true monsters inside them.
He closed his eyes and groaned tiredly and then his eyes shot straight open, widened in a mixture of confusion and shock. Did my voice sound much higher pitched than it's supposed to or am I hallucinating again? He opened his HUD and ran a full toxicity test on his body, along with a biological marker test, his eyes as usual glowing a subtle light blue hue as he did so. The results...surprised him. "Shit." He said in a tone of exasperation.
Like I said, surprised. It turns out that he isn't poisoned or anything so that's a plus, he knew the possibilities of being on another world or time period but he must have gone through the fountain of youth on the way because now instead of having the body of an 25 year old or the body of a 12 year old as he would when he normally resurrected on his home world backwards in time. He now instead has the body of a 6 year old; well at least his right arm is still bionic. Isn't it?
"Only one way to find out." He said in a half groan, anticipating pain due to a brand new hole in his arm. Without hesitation he cocked his revolver named Pantheon and shot his right arm, the bullet ricocheting off his skin like a rocket, his revolver nearly flying out of his hand, obviously not used to the recoil yet.
"Ah...forgot...bullet proof." He said to himself with an obvious sigh of relief, before de-materialising Pantheon and deciding to move on. He placed a hand on the ground and closed his eyes, his legs then got into position before he took off in a sprint in a certain direction, at 90 metres per second, to the nearest river. (That's around 200mph by the way, the speed of a formula one car.)
He wears a button-up white shirt kept partially unbuttoned, a plain gray hoodie with the hood up, and a black leather jacket with a pair of wings, the left being a demonic wing and the right being an angelic wing, with a generic one-handed short sword through the middle coloured in red on his back.
On his lower body he wears plain blue jeans and black shoes, if you listened to his voice enough you'd be able to hear the mixture of German and English (North-east London.) accents behind his voice. An overall casual looking and sounding guy, if he wasn't a 6 year old at this current moment, at least he looked older in this outfit, thankfully he knew he could modify the size of his clothing to fit him which is a God send for when you see a shirt you really like.
He some came upon his prize and automatically dived his face into the water taking as much of a mouth-full of the tasteless liquid as possible before wiping down his face with a happy sigh. He may be nearly invincible but that doesn't stop him from dying of thirst or hunger, though if either were bound to happen he'd form a protective shell and enter a dormant state and proceed to grow like a plant until his body has enough nutrients to be able to function on his own.
He soon savoured the current moment and lay in the river, any and all dirt wash away from his skin revealing fairly pale skin that looks like it could use just a little bit more sun. Eventually he stepped out the river, his body heating up to evaporate the water still currently on his body and in his clothing. He stopped for a moment and looked straight up, his eyes quickly adjusting to looking straight at the sun, midday.
He started to follow the stream upwards in a casual walk, for a few miles his motion tracker pinged many a time but he left it, assuming it to be the local flora, but even then he made sure to keep his special baby within his reach. Eventually it reached dusk; he stopped to take a slight glance at the sun before he wordlessly started looking for a tree that has a suitable branch to hold his weight, which isn't easy.
But after around 20 minutes of searching he eventually found one, a large tree but it could hold his weight so he wouldn't complain. He climbed close to the top and lay slumped against the tree trunk, his eyes starting to glow a subtle blue hue as he waited out the night whilst playing solitaire, his mind staying active whilst his body slept.
His morning alarm went off, scaring the living b'Jesus out of him as usual, but as his HUD flickered off and his other senses started working again, he soon heard the strain of the tree branch he's currently sitting on his sudden movement making crack at the seams. His face formed into a scowl before he started. "Oh for crying out lou-" As he said this the branch fully gave way and he screamed almost like a little girl as he started falling rapidly and landed face first from the tree, the branch landing on top of him.
He gave off a muffled growl and got up easily, his skin rebuilding itself easily, his bones and muscles seemed fine, no major damage despite the added giant branch to the back. In order to take out his anger on something he punched the branch that tried to crush him, almost pulverising it from the force of the blow, also knocking it into the tree which also started groaning. "I swear if yo-" CRUNCH.
There was silence for a few minutes before the sound of a very angry 6 year old started raging profanity in the many hundreds of trillions of languages he knows. As he started to calm down from his temper tantrum he decided now is the time to fight back against the abusive tree.
He gave one hard push with his legs sending it up a few feet before rolling from under it, by the time it landed he was already clear, but a smaller branch still slapped him in the face, which he gave a muttered curse before getting to his feet and brush himself off, now in a bad mood.
He suddenly started getting foreign scents surrounding him and at this point he realised, he was about to be ambushed by something. At this his custom high-frequency treated Muramasa Samurai sword materialized into his left hand along with Pantheon in his right hand so this time he could stand the recoil of his stupidly modified revolver.
Vengeance, as his sword is named, looks like a stereotypical samurai sword, a curved, slender, single-edged and tapered blade that crackles with black lightning under the high-frequency vibrations, the blade itself measures in at around 70-71cm in length. The hilt is two handed swept, but his body seemed capable of holding it in one hand without difficulty, the hand guard is squared. Overall the blade is stunning; there's an inscription along the blade in Japanese: "私の贈り物死の天使と生活の鬼にこのブレード。" This translates to: "I gift this blade to the Angel of Death and the Demon of Life." You can guess who made it for him back in the mid 15th century.
His revolver, Pantheon, as it's named, he had made himself, the original chassis is based off the Rhino 200ds revolver as stated before, but now the barrel was extended and the gun itself was so vastly different in its inner workings that it may be considered overkill for nearly every situation depending on the bullet type, for example, a miniaturized version of the Raufoss Mk. 211 bullet meant for anti-material rifles, like what he was using now.
He could feel his heart rate climb higher and higher, with a satisfied smirk plastered on his face, as soon as his enemy decided to strike, they simply paused in mid-air from his perspective as his heart rate climbed to around 2651 bpm, how is his heart not exploding you may ask?
Well that's simple, his entire body is physically engineered for killing as much as possible in as little time as possible, a one man galaxy sized army rolled into a human looking male, so very valuable tools of war besides your hands is your own biology, his own biology being so malleable he has engineered himself to be quiet close to indestructible and almost a biological robot, his organs have are a primary example of this, you kind of need those to live, so you enhance them to enhance you, at this heart rate his perception of time slows, his strength and reaction speed increases as adrenaline flows through his body and his blood sugar levels are automatically regulated by his bionic arm and HUD.
At this point in time he has a chance to get a good look at his first opponent. Something that reminded him a slight bit of what he just destroyed...in the future orrr on another world, fuck it don't think about it, it's irrelevant. What he's looking at however has glowing red eyes, black fur and bone all over its body, similar in size and shape to that of a werewolf at around the age of a century, only it looked like it'd been corrupted by a demon or black shift energy, though black shift is so rare that he couldn't comment on what a corrupted werewolf looks like.
He scowled as time temporarily resumed again, he simply stepped out of the way of the lunging...thingy...and used that moment to fire a shot at its head, which promptly made its head explode upon impact, deciding that using his revolver would make this whole thing less strenuous he let it fade into blue mist then nothingness as he gripped his blade with both hands, waiting for the now howling horde to head his direction, he figured that he needed to let off some steam from that stupid, stupid tree. So just incase he formed a Wakizashi that became strapped to the back of his jeans along with a few Kunai up his sleeve, his Daisho style would soon be emphasized in the form of combat.
Beowolves, Creep, Ursi and Boarbatusks alike started to creep out of the bushes and each had their own style and look to them, but each had that same Grim (Pun intended, I think.) feeling to them, a sense of dread and despair tried to assault him, only to be swatted away from the experience and Will power of a soldier who's lived longer than existence itself, literally.
His heart rate started to get into a steady beat of just over 2500 bpm, his eyes turning a deep purple, covering up the sclera in his eyes as they react to the adrenaline pouring through his system, his pupils are slits like a snake's as he gave off a sadistic grin of anticipation, his sword also charging with a slight red glow as red shift energy started forming, as soon as they reached 35 meters away from him, he let out a sociopathic laugh before charging with a cry of Vengeance. (Also intended.)
Today Summer Rose is having a very nice day, it's ironically a summer's day, the sun is shining and it's currently overcast, herself, Taiyang, Qrow and her daughters; Ruby and Yang are currently having a picnic. The three adults present were once a part of Team STRQ, the best of their time at Beacon academy, renowned for their skill in and outside of combat. They're more than a Team though; they're family and family always stuck together.
Which is why when Summer heard that Raven, Qrows sister, had disappeared without warning, leaving Taiyang alone with a recently born baby Yang, she instantly felt obligated to help him, as a result, the two spent much more time together and gradually fell in love, got married and had a child together named Ruby...Nice. It has been around 4 years since that point and they were still one big happy family. But their peace and happiness was interrupted when they all heard the howling of Beowolves and a few seconds afterwards, what was either a battle-cry or a cry of pain.
"Qrow stay here, we'll see what's going on." Taiyang said in his serious voice which Qrow nodded at, drawing his weapon and comforting the currently afraid Ruby and Yang. At this, both Summer and Taiyang rushed with weapons drawn to see what's happening, it didn't take them long to reach the site of the carnage, there were many bodies, all of them Grimm, all of them slowly disintegrating into a black mist.
They watched in slight awe as someone hooded is tearing through the Grimm like they were nothing, but the horde was steadily growing in size, so they decided to intervene, starting it all off with a Yang. (Triple Pun *blows smoke off end of pun-gun*.)
"Ooooohohohohoho come to the Grim Reaper." The boy said not knowing how ironic that was, he has a sadistic glint in his eye showing his current slight instability, if that didn't give it away then I'm pretty sure his grin would because it appears to reach his ears, the giant, black wolf thing currently roaring at him decided to charge at him and he happily charged in turn, sliding under the legs whilst leaning back to dodge the swipes from its claws before back-flipping onto the Beowolfs back.
"Missed me." He said with a teasing smirk. It shook him off and as it started to charge again but he stood his ground and before he could slice his foe in half, he shot a kunai behind him in 200 milliseconds, killing a sneaky Creep instantly due to being hit in the head by a searing hot knife with the force of a bullet. Before turning again, he saw the Beowolf in front of him dead and two adults, one male, one female from the looks. (200 milliseconds is 0.2 seconds...so yeah, fast.)
Well atleast he now knows there are people here, human though, that concerned him slightly, they tend to be slightly less accepting as a whole. They were both confident in their abilities but were obviously concerned, likely with the amount of these things in the area. "You okay?" The male asked, he gave a brief nod before firing 3 kunai past them both killing two Alpha Beowolves and an Ursa Major by leaving each of them without a head and turning around and cracking his neck.
"Thanks...we didn't catch your name there." Taiyang half asked. At this the short guy turned his head a little, they noticed his deep purple eyes before he seemingly disappeared in a rush of wind into the oncoming horde of Grimm, making Taiyang and Summer look at each other with slight looks of confusion and concern. "Okaaaaay then…" Taiyang said awkwardly before Summer spoke up. "We've got to help him." She still held concern for this short man and at this they both nodded and also charged into the fray, none of them seemingly noticing that a horde was starting to encroach from behind.
He was having fun and he was not going to let it be sPOILED BY PEOPLE! He shook his head rapidly. Don't let go yet, still need the sane me. He thought to himself, what he didn't realise is that this may have been a cakewalk for him as he was untouched by the slow attackers, the other two however did not have the ability to literally slice things in half if he poked it or mind control anything and anyone inside this continent.
For Summer and Taiyang this is likely the most difficult thing they'd ever had to survive in, it'd been 5 minutes, they lost sight of the short guy they saw earlier and they are starting to run low on dust and ammunition, they didn't think they'd need much, they were going on a goddamn picnic! Who would need large amounts of ammunition on a picnic?! (Me when I go to a posh sushi restaurant, normally involves going through the fish tank.)
They soon found themselves surrounded as another horde had appeared out of nowhere, soon enough they found themselves very much overwhelmed. Taiyang is barely standing and blocking attacks, Summers Aura is depleted and she'd taken a few hits and now she is bleeding badly. The couple looked at each other with realisation hitting their souls like a bullet train, they weren't going to make it out of this alive. Taiyang took his remaining dust and used his remaining Aura to shield the both of them as long as he could; the two hugged each other tight as Summer started crying silently in Taiyangs' arms.
They were both saying their prayers before they witnessed a literal miracle, they heard a Very angry war cry as a red wave of energy sliced through every Grimm around them, to their amazement, they each survived, the clearing also got bigger as everything besides the three people remaining had been completely atomized by what they didn't know was red-shift energy.
They saw the short man from earlier on one knee as Taiyang slowly brought the Aura shield down, nearly exhausted, they stared at him in awe as he glowed the same red that killed the Grimm, his swords slowly disappeared into blue mist before nothing, he slowly stood up and raised his hand into the air firing a blinding red-white beam into the air that went straight into space and into the great beyond until it stopped abruptly and he was left standing there, his outfit literally steaming.
The last thing Summer saw before she fell unconscious was the short man walking towards them as Taiyang was saying her name and for her to stay awake and with him.
Initiate TARDIS MODE. (Time-skip.)
Summer gasped for air as she woke up, her vision clearing up despite the sudden white light, she saw herself in a patient's gown laying down in a hospital bed, she saw that she was in the hospital, the sterile white walls and hospital equipment along with the annoying EKG monitor told her this, she looked at herself and saw her arms covered in bandages and felt pain in her upper and lower body.
Breathing heavily, Summer looked around and that's when she saw Taiyang sitting on the chair directly next to her. From the looks of it, he's asleep whilst leaning back on the chair, snoozing quietly, as Summer slowly sat up she grunted in pain, Taiyang heard this as he slowly woke up and saw her. "Summer, don't move, don't move you'll only hurt yourself." Taiyang said in that same worried one that Summer always found cute in him. Summer looked at him and asked calmly, the pain slowly leaving her body as she now remained idle from movement. "How long was I out?"
Taiyang replied nearly instantly, still worried. "6 hours, you were really out of it, everyone was worried, the doctors said you'd be fine because of different treatments and-." Summer put a finger on his lips giving him a warm smile so he'd stop rambling. "Calm." She said with a smile that she tried not to let form into a mischievous smirk and a slight authoritative tone which she knew he secretly liked.
Summer just couldn't hold back the smirk however as Taiyang sighed and breathed deeply to calm himself said "You're always worrying about me." Summer said in a slight teasing tone at which point Taiyang smirks also with a light chuckle, kisses her on the lips and says "I have to, I mean...Why wouldn't I? With the first time I found you injured like this I-" Summer kissed him again to get rid of that train of thought which promptly succeeded as he kissed back.
That's when Summer remembered the most important people to her and asked "What about the girls?" Summer asked with evident worry, Taiyang replied instantly with a calming voice to soothe his lover. "They're fine. Qrow is looking after them whilst we brought you here." Summer let out a brief sigh of relief before the shock of almost dying again hit her, leading her mood to suddenly drop like a rock and a cliff, seeing his wife like this however lead Taiyang to hold Summer's hands and said in a calming and soothing tone "Summer, you're safe. That's all that matters now."
She looks at Taiyang and asked "And...the man that we were going to save?" Taiyang gave off a half jealous chuckle and said "Well, he saved us, don't know if you remember what he did but he helped you how he could, didn't say a word to me, we made sure we got here safely."
Summers mood picked up a little at her husband's jealousy, she smirked a little "Jealous?" Taiyang looked and sounded like he was half serious. "That I couldn't help you Again when you were about to die Again? Yes." This isn't the first time Summer had a near death experience, the first one was at the point she discovered her powers, it took her more than a while to recover from that and Taiyang had been there every step of the way, her whole team was there, further emphasizing the family bond they shared.
As Summer sat there silent, regretting trying to lighten the mood, a Doktor came in and asked "Is everything alright in here?" Summer looked at the Doktor and replied "Yes, thank you." She paused for a moment before deciding to ask. "Do you by any chance know the condition or whereabouts of the other man who brought me to safety?" She asked in a slightly curious voice that came naturally.
At this the Doktor blinked at the memory, finding the boy incredibly impossible but at the same time she was there and witnessed his scans. "Yes, as far as I know he's fine, he's currently undergoing blood tests so we can get a more accurate ID." The Doktor looked a little distant as she said that. Taiyang and Summer looked at the Doktor with slight trepidation. "Is he alright?" Taiyang asked hesitantly. "I don't even..." the Doktor said, still recalling the memory of the scan results they ran over and over again. Summer asked in slight angst. "Is he okay? Can we see him?" The Doktor hesitated a bit more, still looking distant and said "Yes, let me bring...him...here."
Once the Doktor said that, she left to get Summer's out-of-place technical 'savior'. As Summer leaned back, she looked at Taiyang and saw him having a bit of curiosity as well as jealousy and slight worry eliciting her to smirk at Taiyang, even though she shared the former and the latter emotions. Seeing this, Taiyang looked down attempting to hide his face in embarrassment which Summer giggled at like a school girl.
"Awww," Summer said as she gently patted Taiyangs head as if he were a puppy. "You're cute when you're jealous." She said in a teasing tone. As Taiyang chuckled half-heartedly and smiled he then said on a serious manner. "Summer, I don't want anything like this to happen again; lucks gotta run out eventually, the kids need their mother now more than ever." Summer gently smiles as she leans up and kisses Taiyang on the lips showing her agreement and at that exact moment, the doors suddenly open revealing the Doktor and a boy in a slightly unbuttoned shirt, jeans and shoes.
His hair is rough and ginger but a little bit darker due to it being wet from where he recently washed it, his eyes are a dark brown, his pupils are slits like a snake's, his skin is fair but slightly pale, he has rings around his eyes suggesting a lack of sleep, his body is well built, it wouldn't surprise Summer if he trained everyday to keep himself fit, what was a little odd though were his nails that seem to look human but every so often he'd glance at someone and they'd grow before shrinking again, like claws. He wore a tired smile that looked like it could go through Hell and back and be unchanged. The smile of a lone parent.
His eyes told a story, no, not a story, a lifetime and much, much more, you could tell just from looking into his eyes...there was a quote Summer thought was appropriate when she looked into his eyes: 'The prettiest smile, hides the most secrets, the prettiest eyes, have cried the most tears and the kindest heart has felt the most pain.' Somehow she felt this boy fully qualified for that quote, as much as she didn't want it to be since he looked so young and so cute, he just had that face you could go 'awwww' at all day and hair that you'd want to play with for hours on end, she could imagine his face when she'd do that, that made her giggle internally.
However that didn't stop her from blinking witlessly at the Doktor and the boy, Summer proceeded to look at the Doktor in confusion and asked "Ummm...I thought you were going to bring in the person who saved me and my husband?" Taiyang shot a look at Summer that said 'Hey!' The Doktor chuckled distantly and tiredly and said "Well...this is the boy that saved you both...much to our confusion and lack of belief." There was a moment of silence until Taiyang said "You're kidding me right? Mine and my wife's life was saved by a kid? I was outclassed in combat by a kid?" He sounded like his pride had taken the fast route down the crapper. L glared at him with crossed arms and said "I'm not a kid..."
"You look like you're barely 7!" Taiyang cried. "I know, I'm 6, hurts doesn't it?" He then said with an amused tone and a short laugh making Taiyang almost explode. Summer proceeded to stop herself from giggling at her husband's hurt manly pride and calms him down "Calm down Tai-boo." Taiyang stops himself from retorting as Summer kisses him, he kisses back and he lets out large puffs of air, his face now red with a mixture of anger, pride destruction and embarrassment, the kid proceeding to bite back a laugh at the man he knew from that point forward would be fodder for his infinite amusement. And his sense of humor broke the bounds of reality.
She then looks at the boy, smiles warmly and says "Come here, please." As soon she says that, he steps next to her bed with that same warm smile, Summer looks down at him slightly and asked "Did you really save us? Was it really you today?" His hoodie and leather jacket proceed to materialise in a shroud of blue making him look older than he is and said "Yes, you two are lucky to be alive." He sounded slightly too monotone for it to sound like it's coming from a person but rather a pre-recorded message or someone who's said it so many times it got old very quickly.
Taiyang proceeded to just blankly stare at the boy with a tired expression. "I'm not even going to ask." He wiped down his face with a groan at the fact his brain can't even and began to melt inside his own skull. Summer looked over to the boy, smiled and said "I don't know how you are capable of doing what you did, despite you being a child. But...you have my thanks."
The boys eyes glowed a faint light blue as he spoke with that same smile he walked in with and a gentleman's tone. "I'm just glad you're safe, ma'am." As Summer smiled with a light blush on her features at his over politeness, Taiyang was glaring daggers at him in the background. "Call me Summer." she said before the Doktor started to tug him away lightly emphasising that it's time for him to leave.
He gave the Doktor a look in the eyes as she suddenly straightened in posture slightly and simply stood there seemingly paralysed before he spoke to Summer "I'll work on that, ma'am and I'm glad you're okay, make sure to stay that way for me." The first part was said with amusement which she rolled her eyes at, as the second part was said with sincerity which honestly touched her heart.
With that, he left Summer's room with his hands in his pocket, before the Doktor turned to leave after seemingly waking up, Summer asked "Who is he?" The Doktor looks directly at her and replies slightly nervously "Well, we don't really know." The couple blinked "You don't know?" They asked in unison. The Doktor sighed said with an exasperated tone "He literally doesn't exist, he doesn't match a Faunus or Humans DNA, though there are traces of Faunus like genes, just...odd ones...but also..." She started to hesitate. "But what?" Summer asked.
The Doctor replied "His bones aren't made of your everyday collagen, calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate, it's like they're made of some kind of different material that is almost metallic but is definitely organic in nature, his brain gives off an electronic signature so large we can't even get a proper x-ray of him, his brain activity doesn't even come into the realm of possible numbers, his muscle density is beyond that of physically possible, the boy is a living impossibility." (Unsurprisingly, first time he's been described like that though.)
None of the people she is currently talking to knows exactly what she just said but they got the gist of it, the child is unique, the Doktor proceeded to say "The boy is going to stay here, for many more tests and then he will be taken in by child services." Feeling hurt on the inside, Summer asked "SO he's going to be used like some sort of lab-rat?" "No no no no, not at all, we just want to find out more about him." The Doktor said hurriedly. "No that sounds like a lab-rat right to me." Taiyang is narrowing his eyes at the Doktor now in an accusatory manner.
The Doktor nearly gulped. "You don't understand, he will not be hurt, they're just tests." As Summer sighs in sadness, the doors to get into the room open. When Summer, Taiyang and the Doktor looked at who opened the door, they saw a man with short and spiky black hair with a blonde streak up the front most spike, purple eyes that slit almost to the point of a snake's, pale skin and is wearing a blue striped suit with a red tie and sneakers. Around his neck is a necklace with a pair of wings, the left is demonic and the right is angelic with a sword through the centre of them. The man looks at Summer and asks "Are you the one who found the boy?" He has a very thick Central London (English) accent.
Summer nodded and replied "Yes and you are?" The man replied "I am...his caretaker...I've been looking after the boy since he first entered the system." As he said this he grabbed a chair and sat on it backwards facing the two of them. "Excuse me sir but I don't think you have ac-" She froze as soon as the man clicked his finger. "Sorry, that's a part of my Semblance." He said with a small smile.
Taiyang blinked as they both nodded in understanding, wishing they also had that Semblance for certain moments. "What do you mean caretaker?" The man simply smiled warmly. "I'm more or less his brother, it's difficult to explain so I'm not going to but what I am going to do is plead that you take him in." He did sound a little desperate.
Summer then asked with surprise and concern "Why?" The man said "He's had a bad life and I've been trying to keep him away from hospitals in hopes this would never happen but now that we're here I've got no choice but to ask you otherwise he will die here or they will get hurt from what he will do in retaliation." The two parents looked concerned now.
"What do you mean?" Taiyang asks. "Listen, I'm sure at one point in life I can explain why it is important you take him in but I can't do it now, if you adopt him they cannot do anything about it legally and would be forced to give him up to you." Now he looked and sounded desperate, the couple looked each other in the eyes. "We owe our lives to the child and I won't let him be experimented on for the rest of his life, Tai I think we should do this." Summer pleaded to Taiyang who met both gazes and closed his eyes sighing deeply.
"I won't toss the kid to the wolves; I owe him more than my life." Taiyang said as the other two brightened up considerably, the man seemingly wiping away tears. "Thank you." The couple smiled warmly at him before Summer asked. "What can you tell us about him?" The man smiled a little "His name is Leanardo Stason, L for those who can't pronounce his name, he prefers it that way. He's a Nephilim Faunus." When the man said that, both Summer's and Taiyang's eyes widened and Summer said "A...Nephilim Faunus?" Taiyang then said "Aren't they supposed to be a fairy tale?" The man replied "As far as we all know, yes. But he is one, or as close as we can get."
He answered many other questions, got them to sign the papers he produced from seemingly nothing and stood up to leave but before the man left, Summer asked "Oh, by the way, we haven't gotten your name. What is your name?" The man chuckled as he turns to her and replied "Call me Dimitrios, Dimitrios Stason." At this he produces a fedora from tiny little blue particles and puts it on his head, clicking his finger. "Access...Where?..." The Doktor asked before flinching slightly under the two death glares she is currently receiving.
(LET'S DO THE TIME SKIP AGAAAAAIIIIINNNNN~~ I feel like watching that now.)
L as the man turned boy has finally been identified as, is currently sorting through hospital files and personal, deleting anything relating to him in memories, files, computer memory etc etc. "Mind explaining where I am and why I'm here?" He asked seemingly no one before a chuckle is heard. "All in good time little brother." Dimitrios could hear the 'hmph' come from L.
Dimitrios stood a couple metres away from L. "You win." As he said this, he slowly started walking towards L with his hands in his pocket. He couldn't see the expression on L's face but it's definitely something along the lines of shock and disbelief. "But...You all died before I got to the machine." He said in a low whisper. "Yeah, I know, I was there, we all were." He said solemnly. "So that's it huh?" Silence. "I won a bet against God?" Dimitrios chuckles at that. "It sounds fucking ridiculous when you put it like that but yeah, you did." He says with a light hearted smile.
"Why am I alive?" L asks in a now distant voice. "Because the woman you loved wished you'd get a life, a good one, before we give you the adventure we know you'll crave for, you get bored reaaally easily." They both chuckle at this. "She knows me too well." They both smile and nod at that. "You're relatively young but your lifespan has been shortened just so we don't send you insane in something that's supposed to be a good thing before paradise." Dimitrios says in his usual brotherly tone.
More silence follows before L speaks up. "What will I do?" "You saved your parents after they attempted to save you." L looked Dimitrios directly in the eyes at that. "A family? Remember what happened last time I had parents?" L said with slowly growing disapproving tone.
Dimitrios replied "This time will be different and you know it will be, look at her!" He did so and saw a little bit of sadness before he saw the couple smile. "You made a deal with God and now he's paying you in full, giving you a free life that your wife wished you, you can do whatever you want, there's no eventual goal here, just you and this life doesn't affect your Karma, lucky bastard." He looked at him with a warm smile as he said the last part in a mutter that L could hear, L began processing those words. Did he truly accomplish the impossible? Did he really do what he had to? Was it all over? Could he finally stop? These were the things he thought to himself before Dimitrios started speaking again.
"I created paperwork to ensure you are legally adopted. Consider this thanks for all the things you have done to ensure the continued existence of...existence..." Dimitrios looked slightly confused on how to word that sentence, but L was too caught up in his own shock that he didn't notice. L was beyond shocked even. Here he was in a new world as a child and then the woman, Summer and her very, very entertaining husband decided to take him into her family...after a moment of silence which would be an eternity for someone like him, L said "I don't know. I'm not the quiet type."
Dimitrios chuckled and said "Yes well believe it, you did it, you beat God himself at his own game and now he's giving you what you Needed all along...though Abbie did say that you're not one for the quiet life ALL the time so he threw in an extra adventure for you should you choose to activate the chain of events." As Dimitrios looks at L he says "I'm proud of you, beating God?" He chuckled whilst shaking his head. "Never thought I'd see the day, you did well kid, you may be an insane super-soldier now but hey, we trust you enough."
He then punches L's arm with a wink and said. "Alex says Goodbye...We'll take care of Sylus, Alec and Abbie, they'll be safe...You're classed as KIA, by the way since you did technically die, Fate is ready to be summoned on demand. I'll see you soon little brother." L nodded to him before he left the room and out of this current plane of existence.
L just went and sat on his bed trying to process what just happened before giving up and giving his body a rest, he was glad that his family would be safe, but now they no longer could be reached by him, he was half sad and half relieved, they could live a life full of peace now that he was gone, he wished them well, but now it was L's time to let go, to be Free. After almost five days in the hospital, Summer made a full recovery and was excused from the hospital, as she and Taiyang agreed she would no longer be taking on missions unless absolutely necessary.
Driving in their car, a Fiot 500, it looks, sounds and drives like a Fiat 500. Taiyang is driving with Summer next to him and L is in the back seat, tinkering with his Rhino 200ds revolver, trying to remember how he made a certain modification three lives ago. It's bugging the shit out of him. L is atleast happy that the hospital didn't officially try to take away any of his things, because if they did, there wouldn't have been a hospital, he's Very possessive of his things.
Though one staff member did try to take his zippo, with a black playing cards Jester patterned on it, it looked old, very old, this resulted in one person, one person only suddenly falling to the ground and will never get back up, from everyone else's perspective, L just brushed some dust off his jacket before leaving with his new mother and father, it was actually him switching off his heart through an electro-magnetic frequency transported through the dust in the air. (Science.)
Before leaving the hospital, Taiyang called Qrow and informed him of what had happened. To say the least, Qrow was very positive over this situation and is glad that to him they made the right decision. After almost half an hour of driving, they arrived at a wooden cabin that is two stories tall, in the outskirts of the city. This family sure loves the outdoors. L thought to himself.
Once Taiyang parked the car, everyone got out of the car and headed inside. As soon as the door opened, two small voices cried "Mommy!" Oh no...children...oh, wait, I'm a child... His face projected anything but what he was thinking right now. A red and yellow blur, two small girls, one having blonde pig-tails and lilac eyes while the other one has short black hair with red highlights and silver eyes, rushed up to Summer and gave her a hug.
Feeling her daughters hugging her tight, Summer laughed and said "I'm happy to see you girls but please be careful, mommy is still healing." As the girls separated, they looked at L who stared intently at his revolver before it made a click and he smiled before making it disappear back into blue-shift energy, the girl with the black hair and red highlights asked "Mommy, who's he?"
Summer smiled as she placed both her hands on L's shoulders and replied "This is your new brother, Leanardo Stason. Believe it or not, he is the one who saved mommy and daddy from the monsters." His nervous smile spoke about his thoughts on this situation, Taiyang scowled in the background remembering the situation they were saved from...by a child, but it lightened as he remembered the hospital.
When Summer said that, both girls brightened up and the blonde-haired girl said "Really?! Cool!" Summer chuckled as she looks at L and said "Leanardo, I would like to meet your new sisters: Yang Xiao Long and Ruby Rose." As L sees his new sisters, his thoughts started sparking again. They don't look like...ohhh, how caring of Summer. He thought to himself with a small smile as his HUD made his eyes glow a sky blue hue as his senses analysed Yang and Ruby, his brain sent the information to the supercomputer hooked up to his nervous system.
L smiled nervously as Ruby and Yang said "Nice to meet you!" In unison, L's face fell to sheer horror and he managed to let out a small yelp before being tackle hugged by the half-sisters that were still giggling madly, one playing with his hair and sitting on his legs whilst the other hugged him like a koala on his back trying to use him like a climbing frame. His face had the literal expression of 'Help me.'
Seeing her daughters 'getting along' with L, Summer giggled before saying "Alright you three, it's already late, so you should be heading to bed." Both Ruby and Yang whined and Ruby said "But mom! You just got here! And we haven't hugged the life out of him yet!" (*pats L's back*) They both giggled more as L hoped that last part was a stress induced hallucination.
Summer gently rubs Ruby's head and said "I know, sweetie, but mommy is still tired. Maybe tomorrow we can all watch a movie, I'll make my special cookies." She said the last part in a sing-a-song voice, bribery at its finest. Both Ruby and Yang cheered and dropped L who fell to the floor again with a loud thud and a grunt, as Summer laughed and said "Okay, come on girls. Let's head to bed."
She then turns to L who was recovering from the super-effective assault of his new sisters and said "Come on, little guy. There's an empty room where you can sleep in." As L nodded with a smile plastered to his face that he couldn't help, he followed Summer upstairs. Once they were gone, Taiyang sighed as he shook his head until a voice said "So, that's the kid?"
When Taiyang looks over to the source of the voice he saw Qrow leaning on the far side of the wall. Taiyang nodded and said "Yeah, that's the kid." Qrow walks towards him and said "Soooooo, it's true then? He's a Nephilim Faunus? " Taiyang shook his head in a nod and replied "Yes, but...I can hardly believe it...obliterating a horde in one strike? He was taking his revolver to pieces and putting it back together again with his eyes closed faster than I've seen most gun nuts so who knows what else this kid can do."
Qrow chuckled and said "If given the chance, you think this kid can become a Huntsman?" Taiyang didn't need to think about it and said "If he does, he will become more powerful than us put together...Maybe the equivalent of Ozpin." High praise indeed. Once after Summer put Ruby and Yang to bed, she showed L his new room he will be staying in. When Summer tucked L into bed, she lightly kissed him on the forehead and said "Welcome to the family, son." L smiled and couldn't help himself when he said "Thank you...mum." Touched by L's words, Summer smiled as she left his room and closed the door. Laying on his bed, L smiled and thought I'm Free...I can live... He chuckled to himself at how surreal it all seemed and for the first time in a long time he let out silent tears of joy as his body developed a slight white ethereal glow of white-shift energy being formed from someone who is truly one with themselves.
With that, L let his body sleep in his new home with his new family...as much as he didn't want to admit it, he was getting a little soft on the inside, he was starting to come out of the shell again, like before the first time he died. (Unintentional rhyme.) After Summer had put the three children to bed, she went into the master bedroom and sat on the bed, thinking about the scars she noticed, some began at the base of his spine and seemed to run down, one even seemed like a bite on his neck, shaking the thoughts from her mind, she curled up under the duvet as Taiyang came in and they both slept through the night peacefully.
A being looked down upon L and said to himself. "This boy...has found Life...He does not remember days, he remembers moments, he didn't find himself, he created himself, he didn't see life as a problem to be solved, but rather a reality to experience, he knew it was simple and perceived it as such, never making anything complicated, unless for entertainment, he didn't know what would happen tomorrow, he didn't hide from it, he walked through everything that was thrown at him with a smile, a hero, never dwelling on the past, just remembering it and learning from it, so that he is never doomed to repeat it, he smiled at the fact he had enemies, that was how he and everyone else around him knew that he stood up for something, what his motivations are? I don't know. All I know is that it has been a privilege to wager against someone who stood up to me and called me wrong, a man who is better than I and I lose. Because he has taught me the reason I started to create life, because it's not about how I make life, it's how You take life. A story to be made."
Since there's alot of things including lore around L that you won't understand we're going to put two entries on certain things either L can do, L has mentioned or whatever, this is essentially a Codek so don't forget to tell me in a review what you would like explaining and we'll type it down here since he can just give me a really long winded explanation that I won't even understand, I'm a biologist not a physicist, anyways let's look at the two primarily used parts of L outside of his other plethora of abilities.
Blue-Shift Energy - Blue shift energy is a part of "Spiritual Energy" spectrum that can create and modify matter on demand, it can be used like an infinite storage system, repair tool, a method of healing to a certain extent, matter creation and modification (Yes including food, steak and kidney pie, nomnomnom.) Blue-shift energy is a Positive spiritual energy, meaning that it is good and feels good to use it and isn't very taxing on energy for those who use it often, similar to stamina. Also, the larger or more complex an object you create or modify, the more energy it takes up.
Red-Shift Energy - Red shift energy is another part of the "Spiritual Energy" spectrum that can destroy most forms of matter and energy and can be used as a shield as well as destroying matter and other energy types. Unfortunately, Red shift energy builds up in the user and is a negative energy making it extremely potent if used for too long and not vented it could destroy the user and what's around it, being a very destructive force it is incredibly difficult to control what it does and does not destroy, even for those who have mastered its use such as: L Stason, D Stason, A Stason etc etc.
EDIT: Whelp, there's the updated version that we wrote, we hope you can enjoy it, it's been hell to write this and I hope you guys enjoy becasue we pulled quiet a few overnights to get this done for you. 10k words, woot!
Well, yeah, I'm TimoremCordeNostro and I've been unsure whether or not I should post this or not for a single reason, I was scared shitless at what L would put, yes you might be thinking 'wait, you didn't write this!?' that's because I sort of did and sort of didn't, L is sort of a split personality/imaginary friend sort of didlio. Sometimes we can share memories and more often than not share emotions and as a result we function as two people.
This came to me through a single question: What would L do in the RWBY universe? The soft smile on his face meant he would grow soft, which promptly turned into a scowl as I started laughing. But hey, not my place to judge what he does and doesn't do, so if you liked this Introduction please tell me what you thought of it through a review and if you liked/loved this fic so far, don't forget to follow or favourite or if you're unsure then that's also fine, this isn't a prison, just a harmless story...sort of.
If you've come from my other fic and you're wondering what's happening with that, don't worry, that will be updated as soon as I can, work is starting to pile up on me, a few days from now is my birthday, which I don't care about since all I do is work, exercise and play. Two days after that I'm away for a month so it's not looking that bright :/
This section is here because it was close to a whole number and it was bugging the shite out of us, you don't have to read this part, no, Really, you don't have to read it...just skip to the next paragraph...NOW...fine, keep reading, I don't care what you do with your time, it's yours not ours.
L's body is YOUNGER not different so he will keep every single guddam scar on his body. And yes he isn't human, what is he? Ah you'll have to stay until his past comes over to haunt him. *evil laugh*
Also, as the story goes on we're am very much unsure about Pairings, we want to hear your opinion as time goes on because we are very, very unsure and I'm sure as hell am not going to leave it up to a sociopathic super-soldier that lives in my head...or I live in his head...God that's confusing...
Anyway, thank you ladies and germs for reading we hope you have enjoyed, we'll see you in the next chapter bye bye!
