HELLO EVERYBODY!
I
AM
BAAAACK with another chapter for this amazing story that I've decided to do. Thank you all for your reviews. I appreciate the fact that you took time to do them.
As it stands, the scoreboard for pairings is:
Yang: 3
Blake: 3
Neo: 1
Ruby: 1
Weiss: 2
To stay single: 1
That's what it's looking like at the moment. I think by chapter three I'll end the vote and give a winner. But now for another question:
Should Black stick with the White Fang or Go to Beacon with Yang?
Before you all become keyboard warriors, I just want to tell you Black will at some moment meet all of the cast of RWBY (the anime in general; not the team) and even some before the start of the Anime. So now you can enjoy my Story!
Read away!
The Zero Humans Plan
It had been about 5 years since Black had begun his life. He had learnt many things while under the tutelage of 'Aunt Azure' and his fellow brothers sisters in the orphanage. They had taught him how to change his own nappies, wear his own clothes, walk on two feet, even read books. His feelings towards them were neutral; he didn't particularly like them, nor did he overly hate them. Maybe it was the fact that he was a faunus too; a monkey faunus to be precise (that damn Goku). But he couldn't bring himself to want to immediately destroy their very existence.
"You still lookin' at that shitty book, brat? Sheesh, you'll turn into an introvert with you readin' all the time."
Black smiled as he heard his favourite person in the orphanage talk to him. Looking up, he saw a large-chested woman who was barely dressed, drinking a can of liquid. He eyed the can which stated Juice but he had found out awhile ago, that there was more Sugar than actual fruit juice in the thing. The woman sat down behind him, picking him up and placing him on her lap. Black rolled his eyes at the woman but continued to read his book. He could almost see her trying to understand why he was reading such a complicated book; as if she was looking into his brain.
"Stop staring at me, Ma. I can read what I want to." Black replied. It earned him a hard fist to the head, which he giggled at.
"Oh shut up, brat. Before I give you another ass-whooping today."
That was the reason he loved (he was disgusted by the word, but it was true) this woman. She loved to fight. In fact, she was ruthless when it came to fighting; even saying that she would never hold back on anybody, no matter who they were. She also seemed to be the polar opposite to Aunt Azure, who was a lot timider and definitely much kinder than this monster of a woman.
"Why are you readin' this bullsh-crap anyways? The Quantum Theory? You ain't supposed to be readin' stuff like that at your age."
Ah, Black noticed she had quite the potty mouth. Swear words were easy to make their way out of her lips if it wasn't for Azure there to stop her before she could unleash them. Black could tell that she had learnt by now to not swear in his presence... But it was too late. His literal first words when he had finally been able to control his jaws properly was 'Bastard!'. He had screamed out the words with all the oxygen in his tiny lungs. Azure had gone completely berserk; shouting all day at his Ma. Those were good times...
"Hey, Ma, can we go practice now? I'm in the mood for some training."
The woman gulped down the rest of her liquid in one more go; wiping her mouth with her sleeve. She crushed the can into a ball and threw it out a window, making a cat squeal as it ran off. Looking down at him the woman smiled wildly. Black grinned back as he placed in his book marker & closed his book.
"I thought you would never ask, kiddo." She replied, the hunger for battle back in her voice. Taking him off her lap she got up, dusted herself off and left the room. "Meet me in the training grounds after you put back all those books."
"Thanks, Aunt Emberly."
"I told ya, just call me 'Ma'. And you're welcome."
Black was now gleaming as he hurriedly put away his books back on his shelf in their places and ran to meet the woman.

Black had learnt by now that this body was nowhere near as powerful as it once was. Not even at a tenth of what his power used to be. Therefore, he had to train it up again. But this world called 'Remnant' didn't have martial artists everywhere like Earth did. so it wasn't possible to go and train with someone anywhere. So, he had simply gotten enough attention from his sweet Ma, to train him...
Well, if training was basically beating the ever living shit out of him.
"Come on kid! You can do better than that!" She growled, hammering punches into him and sending him flying with a kick. Black grunted as he hit a tree, slumping over slightly. He quickly rolled out of the way as a punch nearly connected with his head and shattered the tree that had been behind him. Getting up, he began his routine of simply dodging as much as he could before he was inevitably caught and bashed around until he was half-dead. He scampered out of the way of another barrage of hits that would have surely killed another man,
"You're too damn powerful, you gorilla woman!" Black shouted; knowing that it would only increase her overall strength. It worked like a charm, as Emberly's eyes began to glow and a fire was produced in her fists.
"What did you say, you shitty brat?!" Emberly roared, the shout even echoing. She moved towards him in a burst of flames; causing Black to widen his eyes as he ran away from the fearsome woman. Where he was once standing erupted like a volcano into a fire. If it wasn't for the fact that he was slowly learning her move for move, he would have been dead ten times over. The crackle of flames grew louder and he flashed away once more as his last hiding spot burst into flames once more. "Fight me, fucking brat! I'll smash you into next week!"
Black panted as he felt himself drain of ki. He could use instant transmission once more before he was completely out. The exhaustion wanted to make him keel over and drop, but pure willpower was sustaining him from defeat. He had to get stronger as fast as possible. He had to show those despicable Angels that he was not finished with them. Black shouted as he narrowly missed being burnt to cinders. He cupped his hands as he got ready to unleash an attack of his own.
"Kaaa..."
The woman grinned as she began to attack once more; throwing fist after fist against him to destroy his concentration. He kept on.
"Meee..."
The boy used his feet to block a punch and jump back from one of her own kicks; gaining distance.
"Haaa..."
Her grin got wider as she took after him, aiming a kick to his side that was left uncovered. He winced but didn't break under the pain even though he was sent sprawling.
"Meee..."
Emberly walked over to his prone body that was half covered by a bush he was in. He was in tatters but still focused. Grabbing a leg, she attempted to lift him but noticed she couldn't move it. He wouldn't budge. So she prepared for his attack instead.
"HAAA!"
The pure black blast of ki enveloped her upper body; almost blowing her away if it wasn't for her Aura, yet even that was whittling away and she felt the sharp pain of the attack as her aura depleted. As Black finally ran out of ki the blast diminished, she stood smiling over his body. He was dripping with sweat and panting heavily.
"Pretty good, kid. I actually felt that." She hissed, her body steaming from the after-effects of the attack. It quickly caught fire as she lit herself up again. She raised a fist of fire, to which Black audibly gulped. "Lights out."
o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
When Black awoke once more he was covered in water, with a mask covered over his face that allowed him to breathe. He recognised it from the many times he had been submerged within it. He smiled as the water healed him. He could feel his body growing stronger day-by-day. Aunt Azure raised an eyebrow at him and turned to the door of the room.
"He's awake everyone!" Aunt Azure shouted, with her answer being a tidal wave of children rushing into the room. The children surrounded Black and began firing off questions all at the same time.
"Did you beat her?! Did you, did you, did you?!"
"How did you get knocked out?!"
"Did she do the scary fire thing again?!"
"Why would you fight her?!"
"Enough! One at a time!" Azure shouted over the children's racket. Black was smiling at them. She smirked as she remembered the beautiful smile he rarely gave. Unfortunately, she didn't have her Scroll on her to take a picture, but she would forever remember the times he smiled.
"Tell me you won? Right?" A brown eyed and haired boy asked. He seemed quite shy, as his voice was soft and low in volume.
"... No. Sorry, Auburn. She's a monster." Black answered, taking his time as his mouth was dry and tasted of dirt. He knew why of course. That gorilla woman had dragged him through the grounds all the way home. He was thankful that Aunt Azure had washed out his mouth.
"Aww..." Auburn returned, looking down. His cat ears also drooped in response to his mood.
"You can say that again," Azure interjected, still working her water semblance to heal Black's injuries.
"How did you get knocked out?" A girl asked, her irises two different colours. She had cat ears also, but they were spotty white on black. her tail was black with the tip being white.
"She punched me. In the face. Really Hard."
"So coool!" The girl replied, scribbling notes on a notepad.
"That is not cool, young lady! And don't you have homework to submit? Tomorrow?" Azure challenged, to which the girl pouted cutely and stomped off to do her homework. Her tail swished violently from side-to-side.
"Arianna," Black called out. The girl stopped and whirled round to look at him; her pout still on her face. With a smile, he said:
"I'll tell you the details later... And help you with your homework."
The girl's pout turned into a beaming smile as she ran upstairs. "Thanks, Black!" She shouted, her tail now swaying lightly.
"Ugh, why do you keep spoiling the girl. You two barely get along." Azure snorted, to which Black just snickered. That was not true in the slightest; he and Arianna got on immensely well.
"Did she do the scary fire thing again?" Another girl questioned, her skin covered in green scales. They were around her neck, arms and legs but she also had a large scaly tail.
"Yes, Chloe. She did."
"Hahaha, you made her mad didn't you?!" Chloe laughed loudly.
"Yeah. I did."
"She was really mad when she got back. She said you called her a gorilla woman."
"I did."
"Then that's revenge for calling me a dragon, asshole."
"Hey! What happened to the NO SWEARING policy?!" Azure interrupted,
"But... You are a dragon-"
"I am not a dragon!"
"No arguing! That's enough questions! Get out!" Azure screamed, to which all the kids got out of the room before Azure got angrier at them. Silence filled the room as Black let himself heal. Just as he was about to close his eyes, Azure called out to him.
"Just why are you doing this, Black?"
He looked over at Azure who was giving him a stern glare.
"To get stronger."
"By getting smashed into pieces?"
"Well, it works."
This was true. At only three, he could now lift cars and they would be as light as a feather. Azure had nearly fainted when she saw it.
"But you're completely broken. You can't always rely on me to be healing you every time you're sent half-way to hell. You're 5, at least act like it. How many 5-year-olds do you see beating up grown men?"
This was again, true. Someone was trying to bully one of his 'brothers' (since that's what they were as his family) by pulling on his shirt. They were hating on him for being a faunus; something that Black would not allow. He proceeded to absolutely beat the ever living shit out of the boy, his stupid ass friends, his older brothers and his father. They had all been sent to the hospital for injuries while Black & his 'brother' snuck away home.
That brother had been the shy and timid Auburn. Black had taught the boy a few tricks to keep bullies off him, but it would be up to Auburn to do anything about the bullying himself. Black would not and did not want to protect him forever. He had more important things to do than that.
"They shouldn't have bullied him."
"You should have called Emberly to deal with it."
"That would take too long."
There was a moment of silence as Azure and Black stared into each other's eyes. Azure gave up after awhile, rolling her eyes but continuing to heal him. Black stood firm; his resolve strong enough. Another person walked into the room.
"There you are, kid. How's the body?" Emberly inquired, looking over at Black. "What's good Azure."
"I'm fine, Ma." Black responded, raising an arm in the water to wave at her.
"Emberly, stop beating the crap out of a 5-year-old." Azure sighed, reducing the amount of water surrounding Black. He was nearly fully healed anyway. "His body can't take this much damage all the time."
"Don't speak on the boy's behalf, Azure. He wanted it, I'm just giving him it."
"So if Black asks for death, you'll give him it?! Azure exclaimed, turning around to her. "Everybody can ask for something, that doesn't mean they'll get it!"
"Azure. You've seen the benefits of his training. Why are you doubting the boy's abilities? He can lift things a 5 year old can't. He speaks fluently, even though we haven't taught him half the words he knows. Why start now?" Emberly challenged.
"Because I can't keep healing him every time he's broken like this! How can I just keep watching him turn up almost dead?!"
"You can..." Black cut in, wrestling himself out of the rest of the water. Azure grunted and the water disappeared behind him. "And you will."
Azure scowled as she turned away from him and back to Emberly. Black walked out of the room to get a change of clothes; since his others had been burnt.
"Emberly, for the last time, please go easy on the kid." Azure pleaded, but then noticed the slip of paper in her hand. "Also, are you doing the shopping?"
"Yeah, I might as well. Could use a walk around town." Emberly replied, turning to walk out the door of the room. "See ya."
"Wait."
Emberly turned her head to see Azure.
"Take Black with you. He hasn't seen much before, so why not-"
"Sure, sure. I'll take him. You watch the kids then."
Emberly left Azure in the room, walking down the hallway to the Boys room. Knocking then pushing in, she saw Black struggling to put on a t-shirt. She snickered, Going over to help him with it. He grunted when he realised that he had been provided help but was thankful, nonetheless.
"What now?" He inquired, wearing tracksuit bottoms. Emberly just watches him. "Ma, what do you want?"
"We're going shopping, brat. Get your shoes on. We'll meet downstairs."
Emberly heads out, stomping downstairs and leaving Black to wrestle more with his trainers. He eventually wears them then heads downstairs. Emberly is sitting on a chair in the kitchen, with her feet on the table; peering over the list.
"I'm ready, Ma." Black called out, getting her attention. She gets up and ruffles his hair, to his annoyance, before exiting the house. Black follows after her.
o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
"Then that idiot Port, the fat man-child, decided it would be funny to change the story of how the mission really went to all the girls back at camp. Of course, I-"
"Beat the shit out of him too?"
"You got that right. I was almost gonna castrate that asshole, but the girls held me back. Luckily for him, he got away with only second degree burns."
Black Emberly were walking home with bags of groceries in their hands; with Emberly reminiscing about her days as a Huntress. Black was only half paying attention, his mind was truly somewhere else. He wanted to understand this world that was so familiar to Earth, yet so different. It had the same atmosphere, yet it was subtly changing all the time. Things such as technologically weremuch more advanced here than anywhere else. It made Black frown, understanding what would happen if Humanity got so far in technology; the only thing they seemed to be good at.
'I'll stop them. Just as I did before. The extinction of all sentient life is still a righteous decision that I made, yet I was rejected by those ignorant fools of angels...'
Was what black had been thinking. Now, he had to think differently; for the sake of the faunus. They were the oppressed here; they had done nothing to deserve this racial anger that had been stirred up by Humans, yet they were always on the receiving end of their wrath. Things would need to change... But what? They had a group that were promoting equality for all faunus, trying to peacefully let humans know that there was another race trying to make a living.
Emberly took a left into an alley that lead straight back home. As Black followed, the hair on his skin bristled and he was jolted out of his thoughts. They were being followed; his body could feel it. His saiyan instincts were warming back up, and with a quick scan of the ki around them, he could identify 4 that were surrounding them. He looked towards Emberly who he noticed had stopped talking. The wild grin on her face was back. Meaning that she knew.
"You can come out now, you little shits. No point hiding anymore." Emberly shouted as they reached about midway of the entire alley. In front, two people blocked off the exit of the alley. They were holding baseball bats. Black looked behind to see the same thing.
"You're pretty good, lady." One said, his voice deep enough to strike fear into people. Well, not Black or Emberly, but it was deep. "How about you give us what you got? Nobody has to get hurt, nothing bad has to happen to anybody."
"Oh, really?" Emberly replied, with a growl. "Well, I got 11 kids to feed back home, so if I say no?" Emberly's fist squeezed as her grin grew wider. Tension began to rise and Black could feel his hairs straighten even more.
"Sorry, lady, but a 'no' means you're asking for a beating."
"Then it's a no from me."
There was silence for a second, long enough that Black could hear his own breathing and his heart beating as fast as ever. His body began to shake as this feeling that he could never hope to describe was beginning to blossom in his chest. Emberly gave the bags to Black who took them.
Everything that happened next was a slaughter. Simple as. Black could only watch as Emberly, pretty much eradicated the 4 men. Blood flew and splattered against walls, bones broke audibly, screams pierced the sounds of the fight. And Black loved every part of this show. Black understood now that this was his ma. He couldn't remember ever having someone to look up to like this except Gowasu, but his feelings for Emberly surpassed Gowasu's long ago. She was his parent, he was her child. He loved her with every part of his being. It seems the Angels had given him the Shinigami as his mother; maybe they weren't so bad after all.
It was over too soon. Black realised this after he saw his ma holding one of the men by the neck. He was a broken piece of flesh and bones but his mother seemed to be staring at him strangely; as if understanding something at him.
"You're a faunus." she spat angrily. "Aren't you?"
"...Yes." The voice answered, sounding weak and frail. Black could hardly believe that he had once tried to intimidate them with a deep voice.
"Why would you do this?!" She roared, smashing him against the wall. the man coughed up blood. Black felt a shiver of ecstasy from just watching it. "Why would you help these idiots do this?!"
"So I can feed my family." The replied, voice even more frail than before. "Just as you want to feed yours."
Black and Emberly's eyes widened, not expecting such an answer but also understanding his plight. Emberly let the man go, heading over to Black to take one of the bags of groceries. Black gave her one, which she proceeded to give back to the faunus man. He bowed down in a way of saying thanks and scampered away. Emberly turned back round to Black who was kicking over one of the men. She watched as he looted the man from his money, his cigarettes, his lighter and his scroll.
"Black, what are you doing?" She finally asked, as he head over to another man. He proceeded to do the same thing, but came up short. He only had a few Lien on him and a flick knife.
"Well, we need all we can get to repurchase the groceries we gave away. So these idiots here need to give it up." black answered, to which Emberly smirked.
This was most definitely her child.
She looted the last person, even finding a picture of the man and his wife. She burnt it in anger. He had more Lien than the rest, so it was all good in the end. They began to make their way back to the store with their 'borrowed' money.
"If you ever learn anything from me, Black, remember this..." Emberly stated, turning her head to talk to him. "Faunus come first. Only few humans deserve to live."
Black nodded, knowing that this was something that he would remember for all of time. It would be a sentence burned into his memory. He now understood what he needed to do.
Zero Humans Plan. He would save this race of his, no matter the cost. Not one human should be left alive.
That's about it folks! As you can see I did try to alter Black's mindset which will be needed for this story to continue. I REALLY hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Don't forget to cast your votes! See ya!
