Chapter 1: Whatever it Takes
Location: Emerald Forest, Vale Kingdom
The forest was awfully quiet for all things considered. Normally, it would be filled with chirping from the birds on this bright and sunny day, but today's not one of them. For travelers, this could mean a Grimm is nearby and is stalking its prey, but it wasn't because of those reasons. It was because of the lack of Grimm in the area. Bodies of decapitated beasts of the once fearsome creatures, with only about twenty Beowolves or less. While the rest never got the chance to hear the agonizing cries.
Standing in the bloodbath, was a boy in his mid-to-late teenage years. He had dark charcoal spiky hair with sideburns, golden eyes, and small pointed ears that almost made him an elf. He wore a torn green camouflage shirt, black vest, a short-sleeve black and camouflage jacket, military pants, and black combat boots. At first, he didn't look any different from any of the Hunters trainee, if the giant charcoal reptilian tail and small, white maple leaf-like spikes coming from his lower back and down to his tail. This boy is part of a rare Faunus species, that even is looks down on by both humans and Faunus.
This boy is a Godzilla Faunus.
The boy wipes the sweat off of his forehead, his daily training of killing Grimm and he was almost on par with some of the professional Hunters and Huntress. Keyword "Almost". He could beat other trainees from any school academies in any of the four kingdoms, but he can't seem to quite reach where the veterans are at. He should know, he has met one.
"That's quite enough, kid!" a rough voice said.
The Godzilla Faunus turns around to see a tall man, with the same hair and eye color as the kid. Though, the only difference was that his hair was neck length, and was more muscular than an average man. He wore mostly black and grey short-sleeve, leather jacket, military pants, black leather plackart and combat boots. He also shared the same tail and spikes as the boy, only twice the size.
"Yes, sir", the boy responded before picking up his iron sword. from the ground.
The two Godzilla Faunus walk away from their "training grounds" and return to a small wooden cabin near the forest. The elder Godzilla Faunus was the first to open before stopping the young Faunus from entering.
"Clean up", he said as he turned back and close the door.
The teenage boy sighs as he turns around and walks towards a tree stump. He sat down as he instinctively picks up a dirty cloth and starts wiping off the corrupted blood off of his sword. While Remnant has many people combine their weapons with melee and a gun, his was mostly used for training. It was a basic sword like any old one. Wiping it clean and his trying to scrub off the Beowolves' blood off of his clothing, he didn't stop until he was spotless. Not that the older Faunus was a germaphobe, but it's because Grimm's blood is a pain in the ass to clean.
Almost getting the blood off of his boots, he could hear faint footsteps coming from the north. Despite not having canine or feline ears, every Faunus has a higher level of hearing and he's no exception. He got up from his tree stump as he listens closely to the footsteps. They weren't Grimm, these footsteps were moving in a rhythmic one-two. He came to the conclusion it was either a human or a Faunus.
'Shit, how did they find us?!' he thought.
He starts running to the cabin, using his free hand to bang on the door with the older Godzilla Faunus swiftly opening it with annoyance.
"What is it?!" he growls.
"Someone's coming!" the younger Godzilla Faunus whispers.
The elder Faunus was about to retort until he heard the footsteps as well. This time, it was getting closer. Without a word, the older Faunus signals the boy to get inside the cabin and he obeyed. With the boy now in hiding, the older Faunus reach behind his back and pulled out a black automatic machine gun and with one swift motion in a large gladius sword. He waits for the intruder to reveal themselves so he can attack them.
The intruder came out of the shaded trees as it shows to be a man in his thirties with short graying black, spiky hair, dull red eyes, and small stubbles on his chin. He also wears a gray dress shirt with a tail, black pants and shoes, a silver cross and rings, and a torn red cloak. He was also carrying a silver and red sword behind his back. The intruder looks at the Godzilla Faunus with a small smirk as the older Faunus took a good look at the man.
"It's been a while, hey Goji?" the man spoke.
"It's Haruo, Qrow. Not Goji", the Faunus sighs in both relief and annoyance.
The man who was named Qrow chuckles and waves his hand dismissively at Haruo's attitude. He placed his hand on Haruo's shoulder only to have Haruo slapping it away.
"Ah, still sore about the exile?" Qrow asks smugly.
"What gave that away?" Haruo sneered.
The two adults continue discussing, whilst the young Faunus eavesdrop in the conversation. He couldn't hear due to the thickness of the wooden door other than hearing the strange intruder laughing and his mentor groaning in annoyance. He couldn't understand why this human was being so casual with Haruo, but he could feel he might've seen him before.
"Kid, get your ass out here!" Haruo yells.
The young Godzilla Faunus flinches at the sudden burst, not sure if he knows he's listening or not. But not wanting to hear the shout twice he slowly opens the door and carefully steps outside of the cabin. He looks at Qrow as so did he. He's not sure if this is a trap, being told about his kind is hated by both man and Faunus, he can't be too sure if it is the case.
"So, you're the pipsqueak?" Qrow spoke.
He doesn't know how to respond to the question. He eyes Haruo for any permission to speak, and the only response he got was gesturing his head at the spiky-haired man.
"Um, yes?" he responds, unsure if he gave the right answer.
Qrow chuckles before taking a small flask from his pocket and unscrews the cap.
"What's your name?" he asks.
The kid didn't respond, but he took a deep breath and spoke in a hush but audible tone.
"Reshiasu. Reshiasu Gojo."
Qrow looks at Reshiasu for a moment before taking a drink from his flask. The smell of alcohol was emanating from the man and the metal flask and it didn't smell good for Reshiasu. Without any time to react, the alcoholic Hunter starts ruffling with the young Faunus' spiky hair and didn't seem to care.
"Heh, you sure this old lizard ain't your paps?" he chuckles.
Reshiasu frown at the thought and so did Haruo. Sure they do look alike in facial features and hair color wise, but they aren't blood-related. Even Haruo himself would say he doesn't have any son.
"You know damn well I don't have a child Qrow", Haruo said quite grimly.
Qrow just shrugs at the Godzilla Faunus' threat before removing his hand from Reshiasu's head.
"Whatever, I'm just checking on you 'cause old man Oz has no one else doing it", Qrow said blatantly before grabbing something underneath his torn cape. He was holding a small metal box and gave it to the older Faunus.
"Spare parts and some seeds are in there as usual. Don't expect anything new in there."
Haruo opens the metal box and did see that everything was in there as the drunk Hunter has said. He closed it and silently thank Qrow as he went on his way back to wherever he came from. Reshiasu kept his eye on him before he disappeared back into the treelines, though he could've sworn he saw the man turn into a bird. He shook his head and went back inside the cabin.
Inside the cabin only had a small table with two chairs, two beds being spaced by a small lamp table, a rug made out of a deer, a small and a small crate holding their food. He saw his mentor sitting down on his bed, placing his weapon beside him and the metal on the lamp table. Not saying a word he sat down on his bed. The silence was something they, or for Reshiasu, grew accustomed to. They never speak even when the teenage Faunus was a kid. Afterall, it's what Qrow said; they were exiled.
"Kid, I want you to promise me one thing", Haruo finally spoke.
Reshiasu looks at the older Faunus, not used to the sudden change of mood.
"What is it Mr. Nakajima?" he asks.
Haruo didn't look at the young Faunus, only twiddling his thumbs. Something that the teenager has never seen him do, he could feel the sudden emotions coming from the older man.
"If there's... any chance that I die...", he said nervously, "Promise me you'll prove this world why we're called the King of ALL Faunus. Whatever it takes."
Reshiasu was shocked. He couldn't understand what brought this up, for all he knows that the Godzilla Faunus is basically one of the deadliest Faunus in all of Remnant and reason so. He knew why he was exiled with Haruo; since it was he who caused them to be. Haruo killed so many lives both man and Faunus, during the Faunus Rights Revolution, that they begin going on a global genocide because of Haruo. Reshiasu could remember it like it was yesterday. His mother died at the hands of the group called White Fang after Haruo's actions. He was about to be killed if it weren't for his mother sacrifice and told him to run away. He ran into Haruo and before any of the White Fang members could lay a hand on them, Haruo just took him and ran into Emerald Forest and been living there for eleven years.
He has no idea why the older Godzilla Faunus took him, he can't help but feel angry and spite at Haruo for destroying his life, but also feel grateful and accepted that Haruo saved his untimely death at the same time.
"W-What brought this up?" Reshiasu asks.
Haruo glares at the boy causing him to shut up, but he sighs in defeat before speaking.
"The reason I'm saying this is that in the future you'll have to fend for yourself and I won't be there to help you. I train you to fight off Grimm in case you decide to live off somewhere else and I won't stop you. But, remember this Reshiasu; the world hates us because we are Godzilla Faunus and because of me. They'll see you and will most likely blame and kill you because of those reasons. So, return that hate back and show them you are no pushover and do whatever it takes to prove it."
Reshiasu didn't respond, he let the words sink into his brain and process it. It was true that the world hates them and he has learned to use that hatred against them. Both man and Faunus. He admires his mentor but also resented him for his actions. But for the sake of staying alive, he knows he can't stay quiet forever.
"I promise", he said.
Haruo lets out a small, but genuine, smile and roughs up the boy's hair.
"Remember kid: whatever it takes."
Whatever it takes.
Those were his last words before he died two days ago. The rain was hitting on Reshiasu as he stood over his handmade grave of his mentor. The pile of stones and the wooden plaque was placed near at the burnt down cabin. He didn't know why it happened, but the horrid memory played through his mind like a tape recorder. A giant swarm of Grimm of every kind came in and attack them without warning. Haruo told Reshiasu to hide in the bunker as he took care of the swarm. Reshiasu refused but all he could remember was that he was knock out when he said no and found himself in the bunker.
When he tried to get out, he found the door was stuck and he had to use all of his might to open it. When he did, he saw that wooden beam pole was preventing it from budging as he sees his home was now destroyed and was on fire. He looks around to see several dead Grimm with bullet wounds and severed body parts. Reshiasu tries to find his mentor only to cAme across a pile of dead Grimm with two figures standing on top. One of them was Haruo, his chest being stabbed by a large halberd covered in his own blood, and the other one was someone he didn't recognize. It was a woman wearing a skimpy red one-piece suit being hold by yellow ribbon, red high socks, long-sleeve fingerless gloves, and heels. She had short red hair and giant bat-like wings. He yellow eyes showed malice and delight as she holds on Haruo's neck as he was choking on his own blood.
The image was horrifying but before he could anything, the woman then disappeared into the burning flames. He was sent back to reality as he felt a warmth from his cheeks. Placing his hands on it and realized he was crying. He never felt this way about the older Godzilla Faunus, he never felt this much sadness since his mother died. Another thing made him realize something: Haruo Nakajima became his father figure. He never saw his father after his mother died and he was a human from what he remembers. Most likely dead because of Haruo, but the more he thinks about it, the more he had looked up to him and was the closest thing he has for a father. Though their relationship was teacher-and-student at best, he can't help but wish they had a father-and-son relationship.
Cursing himself for being so blind, he begins blaming himself for not stopping this death. But he remembers what his "father-figure" had told him if he ever died.
"Promise me you'll prove this world why we're called the King of ALL Faunus. Whatever it takes."
"Whatever it takes..." he muttered.
He looks at Haruo's weapon, still lying next to the gravestone. He thought long and hard about his next decision; he knew he can't stay here anymore and he isn't going to be Grimm food anytime soon. He grabs his mentor's weapon, strapping it across his back and begins walking away from the crude grave. His mind so focused, not even acknowledging he took some spare parts, ammo, and food in a leather bag from the bunker and came out. It didn't matter, he has a vow to keep.
"I promise to prove them wrong. I vow father", he said as the word felt alien for the first time, "I vow I'll find the killer and make them pay. Whatever it takes."
Looking out with his golden eyes burning with hatred. He'll make sure the world will pay for their actions. Whatever it takes.
Location: Beacon Academy, Vale
Ozpin looks down at his Scroll as he sees the fraction of Emerald Forest was put by the rainstorm. He was glad that it didn't extend to any nearby towns or cities, but from what the video footage showed several groups of Grimm enter the forest and then scatter what took about two hours at most. To a normal person, they wouldn't know what attracted the demons to that specific area of the fire, but it seems too clear to him. That area has home to Haruo Nakajima the Godzilla Faunus.
He thought for sure the area was sealed off to mask any negative emotions coming from the exiled Faunus. From what he got from Qrow, Haruo wasn't alone. He looks closely as he sees the young Godzilla Faunus leaving the once safe haven, carrying Haruo's weapon. It then hits him; Haruo's dead and now with this boy being the last of his species, it won't be long till everyone will go out their way and kill him.
"We need to stop him from reaching any cities", a female voice said.
The silver-haired headmaster didn't turn around to see whose voice belongs to. It was his associate Glynda Goodwitch, one of the teachers in Beacon Academy. She was a stern woman and she wasn't fond of vigilantes and Ozpin wasn't even fazed by her usual level of sternness.
"Mhm", Ozpin mumbled.
"If word gets out that there's still a Godzilla Faunus alive, who knows how many lives will be lost by him!"
"Mhm."
The blonde mildly glares at Ozpin's response, still not even looking at her.
"Are you listening to me?!"
Ozpin grabs one of his mugs and took a sip from his mug.
"I am, Glynda", he finally responds, "Though, I feel like this boy isn't like Mr. Nakajima."
"What is going on about?" Glynda asks, raising her eyebrows.
"All in due time Glynda, but right now we need to keep an eye on him and see how the other Kaiju Faunus will react."
Glynda didn't like how Ozpin is handling the situation. Everyone knew that Kaiju Faunus are vastly stronger than their normal Faunus counterparts. They heal quicker, they have abilities no one dares to come across, and what makes them more dangerous is that they're all based on giant mythical creatures and they don't stay in one place for too long. They tend to wreak havoc on any city they're in, but with the exile and mass genocide of the Godzilla Faunus, every Kaiju Faunus went into hiding and try to blend in and live normal lives in hoping they don't get the same treatment.
"You better not do anything stupid Oz", Glynda mumbles.
Ozpin didn't respond, being too focused on Reshiasu in hoping he can shed some light on this Faunus. Whatever it takes.
