A young boy around eight years old was running through thick snow away from a burning village in the middle of the forest on the island of Patch. He didn't know where he was going, despite the many cuts and burns the boy felt no pain. Only rage and determination. He had made a promise to his father that he would stop his sister no matter what the cost. The boy kept running until he collapsed from exhaustion.

(Y/N)'s POV

I woke up feeling like my head was on fire, I tried to get up but soon realized that my hands were bound together in handcuffs and I was chained to the ground. I looked down at myself and saw that someone had bandaged my wounds and judging by the way they were healed I say I've been here for a few days. I looked around and saw that I was in some sort of containment cell.

"Hey, Hey! Anyone there?! Let me out of here!"

The door flew open and two men wearing grimm masks, black hoods and white armor came into the room and looked at me.

"Why did we even take him? He's just a kid!" said the one on the left. They were talking as if I wasn't there.

"Ever heard of the slave market newbie? We could make a bit of money with this kid," The man on the right said. He had a bit of an evil smirk on when he said that.

"I did not sign up for this! Fighting against discrimination is one thing, but kidnapping kids is another!"

The man on the right grabbed the other man by the throat and pinned him to the wall.

"Get used to it! This is how we have to do things sometimes in the White Fang. It's not always sunshine and rainbows. But look at it this way, this boy is contributing to our rightful cause. Just in a different way."

The man let the new member of the 'White Fang' go and he rubbed his neck a bit. He looked at me for a split second and seemed to drop something shiny on the ground.

"If you really want to sympathize with this boy maybe we should sell you as well, I heard they're always looking for Faunses down there."

The man growled and stood up.

"Fine I'll go along with this but it doesn't mean I like it."

"Good now can we go? I have some important duties to attend to and I don't want to be wasting my time looking at a filthy human boy."

The man grunted and they both left but before the new member left he looked back at me and smiled a little.

I looked down at the shiny object that he dropped and I saw a key ring lying on the ground. I made way towards the key but was stopped abruptly by the chain on my leg, I lay down on the ground and stretched as far as I could while my hands were bound. I just barely managed to get the key. I sat back down and struggled to unlock my hands for what felt like forever, I had to keep looking at the door every now and then to see if someone was watching me. After an eternity I was able to unlock the lock by keeping the key in my mouth while I turned my arms and head until the lock clicked. I quickly unlocked the bounds on my feet and ran towards the cell door.

I fumbled with the key ring as I tried the many keys with the lock until I found one that fit. I opened the door slowly but there was still a loud creak as it opened, I froze when I heard two voices coming down the hall.

"Hey, what was that noise?"

"I don't know maybe you should check it out?"

"Fine, lazy ass," the man mumbled as he came closer to my cell. I held my palm out and waited. The man came into view and he saw me standing there free of my chains.

"Hey kid. I don't want any trouble so why don't you be a good boy and cooperate?"

I closed the door shut, I could hear the guard's tounge click as he walked over to the door.

"Smart move kid, making my job a lot easier here."

I heard the guard's keys jingling and right at that moment I pushed the door open with all my might, hitting the guard with it.

"Indicus? What's going on over there?"

I stepped past the guard before he could get up and I ran in the opposite direction from the two guards.

"He's getting away! Hurry!"

I could hear a pair of footsteps getting closer and closer so I ran even faster. I eventually came to what looked to be an exit, but the moment I opened the door, another White Fang member opened the door. The man looked down at me for a second, and pulled out his weapon. It looked to be a pair of Bastons. I turned to try and run away from the man but the guard chasing me had finally caught up.

"Ah, Newbie. You cornered him, great. Let's get this human back to his cell before the boss finds out we screwed up."

The man continued to look at me, then looked at the guard and threw his Baston stick at the guards head knocking his mask off.

"What the hell?"

The man ran and the guard and hit him with his other stick rapidly until the guard fell on the ground, unconscious. The man picked up his Baston stick and holstered it, the entire time I stood there frozen. After the battle was done I was about to run away but the man called out to me.

"Wait! Kid I'm not here to hurt you. I'm here to help you."

I recognized his voice as the one who left me the key in my cell and I slowly walked towards him. The man removed his mask and took off his hood to show he had dark green eyes colored eyes and white hair.

"I'm Alba, what's your name?"

"Uh… It's (Y/n)"

"Nice to meet you (Y/n), don't worry I'm going to keep you safe, we're going to get out of here but you're going to have to listen to exactly what I say, understand?"

I nodded my head multiple times, Alba smiled kindly at me and put his mask back on.

"Good, let's go, the guards get lazy around this time so it's the best time to get out of here."

We both quietly made our way to the exit, Alba would keep a sharp eye out for any other guards that may show up out as we moved as fast as possible. Eventually we got to one of the exits to the base.

"Okay I'll go first I'll knock on the door one time once the coast is clear."

I nodded my head in understanding and he went out the door.

"Hey Tukson lovely night out huh?"

"Yeah definitely, I wonder if there will be any action tonight."

"Probably not, no one knows where we are and besides who would attack us at 3 AM?"

"True, true well I have to continue my shift tonight. I'll see you later."

"Yeah see ya."

There was a single knock on the door and Alba motioned me to follow him. I noticed that the place that the White Fang was hiding in was an old ruins used to disguise the White Fang base. Everything was going smoothly until we got to the edge of the forest.

"Well, well what do we have here."

We turned around to see a man with red hair and a cane standing behind us with all the White Fang members all with guns pointed at us.

"Now, now boys where do you two think you're going?"

"I'm leaving Roman. You've corrupted the White Fang beyond redemption!"

A few of the White Fang members shifted uncomfortably at the statement and Roman just laughed.

"The old method of the White Fang wasn't working. I'm here to introduce a more... persuasive approach."

"By killing and stealing?! By attacking innocents, like this boy!"

"I never said the new way of doing things would be passive."

"You're sick," said Alba as he held up his rifle.

"Well I think I've heard enough from him. Let's clean this mess up."

Half of the White Fang members hesitated while the other half open fired immediately.

Alba shot back and managed to hit four of the White Fang members before we were forced to retreat behind some rubble.

"What do we do!?" I asked with fear evident in my voice.

"Uhhh... I'm working on it," Alba said as he fired at the White Fang members. They were pushing closer towards us and we didn't have much time left.

"Okay, on the count of three run I'll cover you and meet up with you in the woods okay?"

"A-alright"

"One...Two..Three..." Alba poped up from cover and started shooting his gun and screaming like a mad man. The remaining White Fang members dove for cover.

"Get them you idiots it's only a fauns and a boy!" Yelled Roman

"RUN (Y/N)!" shouted Alba.

I didn't hesitate as I bolted towards the forest until I heard a yell of pain behind me.

"Agh-Dammit!"

I turned around to see Alba on the ground clutching his now bleeding knee. The White Fang members all closed in on him surrounding him.

"Well, it looks like this is the end of the road for you Alba," said Torchwick as he pointed his cane towards Alba.

"Just do it already you bastard," said Alba with gritted teeth.

"With pleasure." With that Roman blasted Alba at point blank range in the chest. Alba coughed up blood as the force of the blast caused him to smash into a tree.

"NO!" I shouted as I ran back towards Roman not caring that all the White Fang members had their guns pointed at me.

"Stupid kid."

Roman fired his cane towards me while the other White Fang members hesitated to fire on a child. As the bullet came closer to me time seemed to freeze. As in time actually froze a bit. I could see the bullet as it cut through the air. I moved out of the way and time sped up again and I looked at my stunned opponents.

"Don't just stand there. Kill him."

This time they all fired at me but time didn't freeze this time. Everything else did, the bullets stopped right in front of me and fell to the ground with ice forming around the bullets. The White Fang members stepped back in fear I grabbed Albas Bastons and I advanced on the White Fang.

Everything was a blur after that. I didn't even think about what I was doing it was as if something else was controlling me. Every time a White Fang member would get close enough I would quickly knock them unconscious with my batons until their was only one member left and Roman.

"D-Do something!" stuttered Roman.

The White Fang member took a small step towards me and took out a two handed great sword. I didn't even hesitate to attack him. I threw one of my batons at his face causing him to raise his sword. I then hit him where the sun doesn't shine and jumped back dodging his blind punch downwards. I caught my baton in mid air and ran towards the man again. He swung horizontally with his great sword and I jumped above the sword hitting the man directly on the nose. He staggered back and I took this opportunity to use my batons and cause him to fall on his back. Once on the ground I hit him with my batons on both sides of the head causing him to become even more disoriented. I then hit him with all my might knocking him unconscious.

"W-What are y-you kid?" Roman asked as he backed away.

"I am the harshness of winter, the bringer of the cold, the purity of the elements. I am NEBULA!" I said in a deeper voice that was not my own.

With that I stuck out my hand and a White beam, almost like White fire, shot out from the palm of my hand sending Roman flying back. I collapsed and was breathing heavily. I looked around me and noticed that the ruins we were fighting in were now covered in a thin layer of frost. Bullet holes riddled the entire landscape and quite a few unconscious bodies were on the floor.

I held out my hands in front of my face, there was a white Aura surrounding me and I could see that my skin was much paler than before.

Well, that was fun, thanks for letting me stretch my legs kid. But just so you know, you owe me one.

Wha? Who are you?

You just said it yourself, anyways I'll see you around.

A sudden pain surged through me as the white aura surrounding me disappeared

"Alba!"

I ran up to his defeated body and gave him a shake.

"Alba, c'mon wake up Alba!"

He remained unresponsive and I checked for a pulse. There was one but it was very weak. His eyes fluttered open a bit and his eyes widened in shock.

"(Y/N)... What happened to you?"

I was confused by his words and I looked down at myself. I was wearing a white cloak that I definitely didn't have before. Looking at my arms and legs the wounds I used to have were completely healed. There was an icy blue aura around me and when I looked closer I realized that the aura was in some form of armor

"I...I don't know," my voice changed back to normal and the aura disappeared leaving only the white cloak.

I looked up and saw Alba smiling at me.

"I'm sorry I can't go with you kid," He said weakly.

"Don't say that Alba you're going to be fine."

He was not going to be fine. Blood was staining his white hair and he looked really pale.

"You're going to go far (Y/N), I wish I could help you more-" He coughed up blood and looked at me with heavy eyes.

"Just remember to always be a good person on your journey. The world needs to be made a better place through good people."

I looked at Alba and even though I barely knew him. I felt as though I had been with him my entire life. I guess that's how strong bonds are made through combat

"Okay Alba I promise."

He chuckled a bit and said "Good..."

Before closing his eyes and drawing his last breath.
