Chapter 1: Arrival
The sky above the beacon hunting academy was clear and quiet except for the bullhead carrying three of the four members of its newest students. The bullhead landed without incident and outside of it stood Professor Howard Ozpin, head master of beacon. The bullheads doors opened and out stepped the three students.
"I take it you're Aries?" Ozpin asked. "Yep." Aries replied. Aries was a rather tall man for his age around five feet tall, he had a muscular build and had these dark piercing green eyes, and his hair was roughly the same color as copper and he wore armor that light weight but incredibly durable, his main weapons were a short sword and a spin out shield.
"Then you are… Rebecca?" Ozpin asked. "Yes, pleased to meet you." Rebecca answered. Rebecca was about a head shorter than Aries around the four foot range, she had a more lean build with deep blue eyes and blue hair, her combat attire had more of a Japanese ninja theme to it, her main weapons were twin Sai's that doubled as throwing weapons, they could return to her thanks to the magnets hidden under her gloves.
"That means you're Stephan then?" Ozpin asked. "You bet ya!" Stephan replied giving a mock salute, Stephan was around the same height as Aries but he had Rebecca's' build, he was tall and lean but not slow, his armor looked like he just came off the set of an Indiana jones flick, his main weapon was a bo staff that had a hidden blade in the end of it, his eyes were a foggy grey and his hair was blonde.
"Where's your leader?" Ozpin asked as he looked for Kuuga. "Kuuga had to grab some things, he'll be along shortly." Rebecca replied. Just then the four heard someone shouting random gibberish and looked up to see Kuuga dive bombing them from on high."Oh fuck me." Aries muttered as he and the others scattered and took cover.
As the four took cover Kuuga landed feet first with a resounding crash, when they all looked up they saw bits of debris landing on the ground and dust billowing out from the crater. "WAHOOO! That was fun!" Kuuga cried as he walked outta the crater. "I take it you're kuuga?" Ozpin asked as he dusted himself off. "Yeah, sorry about the hole in the ground by the way." Kugga replied apologizing for the mess he made. "No worries, I was thinking of replacing the walk way anyhow." Ozpin replied.
Just then Goodwitch climbed out of the bullhead and saw the crater. "Is everyone alright?" she asked. "Yeah we're fine, Kuuga was just making his grand entrance." Aries replied as he thumbed towards Kuuga. Kuuga just looked at goodwitch and gave her a wave. Meanwhile Goodwitch pinched the bridge of her nose and muttered under her breath "It's his first day here he doesn't know the rules." Ozpin meanwhile was just sipping at his coffee like always waiting for them to finish. "Are you done now?" Ozpin asked. "Yep." Kuuga answered. "Good, let's get going." Ozpin replied as he lead kuuga and his friends to his office.
As they made their way to Ozpins' office Ozpin was trying to pin down Kuugas' personality, it was proving harder than anticipated. It probably wasn't helping that as far as he could tell, he only had the one duffle bag on his shoulder. Ozpin usually gave his students the benefit of the doubt but he couldn't get the thought that maybe Kuuga was dangerous outta his head.
"Hey Oz, why do you keep lookin' at me?" Kuuga asked as he pulled a chocolate bar outta his pocket. "No reason, you just seem rather familiar is all." Ozpin replied as they piled into the elevator. "Well I can't think of why, we've never meet as far I as remember… which need I remind you is only about 4 months back." Kuuga replied as he took a bite of his chocolate. "Kuuga those things are bad for you." Rebecca exclaimed as she tried to swipe his chocolate bar only for Kuuga to hold it above his head. Having a good two feet over her it was easy for him. "So what, I always train to burn what I eat." Kuuga replied as he took another bite. "Ahm!" Goodwitch exclaimed as she cleared her throat curtly getting the two to stop. "Sorry." Kuuga apologized as he finished his chocolate.
The elevator made its way to Ozpins' office rather quickly and the six got outta the elevator and walked into the office kuuga saw another team, it consisted of four girls. "Kuuga this is Ruby Rose and her team, team RWBY." Ozpin exclaimed as Ruby went to shake Kuugas' hand only to be shot down by Kuuga as he walked past her. "Oz, mind if I ask WHY they are in here?" Kuuga asked.
"Due to limited space, your team and team RWBY will have to share a room." Ozpin replied as he took his seat behind his desk. "That could be problematic, some of my team mates have volatile tempers and I don't wanna have to be cleanin' Ruby guts of the ceiling." Kuuga argued hoping to sway Ozpins' decision. "I'm sorry but my minds made up, you'll just have to learn to get along." Ozpin replied.
"Ugh, fine, team KARS we're movin' out." Kuuga replied as he made his way to the elevator. "Do you even know where you're going?" asked Weiss. "No but we'll find our way eventually." Kuuga replied as he got in the elevator. "Boss, wouldn't it be easier to follow them?" Aries asked. "You are being too logical, when have I ever done anything the easy way, seriously I can't remember when have I done anything easy." Kuuga replied as he joked about his memory gap. "Never in the time I've known ya." Aries replied as he grabbed his pack and moved into the elevator followed by Rebecca, Stephan, and team rwby.
Soon the eight of them made their way to the student dorms and piled into team RWBY's dorm. "It's okay… not great." Aries exclaimed as he set his bag down. "Well, it's a small room we did what we could." Weiss replied as she sat on her bed. Just then gun shots were heard, and they came from Kuugas' pistol. "Are you out of your mind?!" Blake cried as she marched up to Kuuga only to stop dead in her tracks when she got this eerie sense about him. "Well let's see, I've been blown up… twice, horribly burned only to have two big ass scars, one on my right arm the other on my jaw, and I have no recollection of my past life, so… yes I am out of my goddamn mind." Kuuga replied as he listed off his problems.
"How did you survive getting blown up?" Weiss asked sounding rather skeptical. "My semblance is regeneration… which is why I only have two scars." Kuuga replied. "Wait, if your semblance is regeneration, then shouldn't you have ZERO scars?" Yang asked as she kicked off her boots. "My semblance fixed most of the damaged parts of my body, but couldn't fix my arm or jaw all the way." Kuuga answered as he secured what looked like a hammock to the ceiling using the holes he shot. "Why don't you remember anything though?" Blake asked. "You know how some people block out horrible events to stay sane, well the same thing happened to me." Kuuga replied. "Us." Fang injected. "She doesn't know about that yet." Kuuga muttered under his breath so the others wouldn't hear him.
Kuuga finished setting up his hammock and threw his duffle bag into team RWBY's closet. "Do you mind?" Weiss asked. "What?" kuuga asked. "We don't want your clothes mixed in with ours." Weiss exclaimed as she threw Kuuga his duffel bag. "But there's nothing else in here." Kuuga argued. "You didn't bring any other clothes?!" Weiss all but gasped. "No, just the one's on my back… and some combat armor but that'll be here tomorrow." Kuuga replied.
Weiss almost threw up not knowing how long kuuga was wearing his current set of clothes. "That's it… after lunch we're taking you shopping." Weiss said. "The hell you are… I gotta train." Kuuga argued. Just then Ruby popped up between the two of them. "Look, Weiss I'm sure Kuuga knows you mean well… but he doesn't have to get any new clothes if he doesn't want to, and Kuuga you can't just train all day… we gotta get to know each other so's to work together better as a team." Ruby said as she refereed the two.
Just then a knock at the door was heard. "I got it!" Yang yelled. Yang opened the door to see a mail man in the hall with Goodwitch behind him. "Is Kuuga here?" Goodwitch asked. "Yeah I'm getting ready to kill the ice queen, what is it?" Kuuga replied. "There's a package for you." Goodwitch replied. "That's my armor, wheel it in would ya?" Kuuga replied.
The mail man wheeled in a rather large wooden box with the name "Village of the black sun" stamped on it with the address for beacon stamped under it. "I'll get a crow bar." Blake said only to hear the sound of breaking wood. She turned to see the rest of her team shocked to see Kuuga tearing the crate apart with his bare hands and even his teeth. Once the crate was practically eviscerated Kuuga spit the last chunk of wood outta his mouth at Weiss's head hitting her dead on. "Ow!" Weiss yelled. Kuuga saw that his armor was wrapped in plastic wrap for extra padding. "Ah good… more fun for me." Kuuga grinned as he tore into the wrapping and eventually got his armor uncovered. His armor was red and black and had a bit of a dragon theme to it.
The helmet had a black visor and the shape of the helmet was that of a dragon's head… even with two straightened horns sticking out the back the helmet itself was red (The helmet doesn't ACTUALLY look like a dragons head, the top and bottom of it are just jagged to look like a dragons mouth with no sculpted mouth piece). The chest plate and sleeves of the armor were red with some black highlights on the chest plate around the pectoral area. The two gauntlets started at the elbows and ended with pointed finger tips on the hands, the gauntlets had black on the elbow armor and the joints of the fingers everything else was red. The lower portion of the armor was mostly red except at the knees, those were black. The boots looked like armored combat boots, the toes were black as was the heel, and the rest was red. It had a cape too the inside of it was red while the outside was black, the end of the cape was purposely tattered for aesthetics. There was a sword sheath and belt, the belt and sheath were black while the buckle of the belt and tip of the sheath were red.
To say team RWBY was dumbfounded was and understatement. "Ah, there you are you beautiful piece of blacksmithing, did you miss your daddy?" Kuuga exclaimed as he gently took the armor apart and placed it near his hammock. "He's talking… to his armor." Blake deadpanned. "So what… I talk to crescent rose." Ruby said. "Yes but you don't ask her if she missed you… do you?" Blake replied. "No." ruby answered. "I CAN HEAR YOU!" Kuuga yelled. "And for your information Blood Scale is more than just armor, he augments my physical abilities 100 fold their natural limit, is indestructible, and… is all I have left of my family." Kuuga said as he looked back at his armor as it stood next to his hammock.
"You named… your armor?" Yang asked. "Yeah… don't tell me you don't name YOUR weapons." Kuuga replied. Team RWBY just stood there whistling nervously and scratching the backs of their heads. "Thought so." Kuuga said. Just then the lunch bell rang. "Well, let's go get some lunch then shall we?!" Kuuga exclaimed. "What about the mess you made?" Weiss asked pointing to the pile of wood and plastic wrap. "I'll take care of it." Goodwitch replied as she used her wand to lift the debris off the ground. "Thank you Glynda." Kuuga said. "Yep, I'm used to cleaning other people's messes." Goodwitch replied. "Like Ozpin's." Kuuga joked.
Soon the eight made their way to the dining hall, got their food, and sat down by team JNPR. "Hey ruby, who're they?" Juane asked. "This is Kuuga and his team." Ruby replied. "We're known as team KARS." Kuuga added. "Well I'm Juane arc, this is Lie Ren, Nora Valkyrie, and Pyrrah Nikos, We're team JNPR." Juane said as he introduced his team mates. Ren was reading while Nora was shoveling food into her mouth. Pyrrah meanwhile was trying to read kuugas' personality.
"Well you know who I am so let me introduce my team. This is Aries, Rebecca, and Stephan." Kuuga said introducing his team. Just then the twelve heard someone crying. They looked over to see it was Velvet Scarlata of team CVFY being picked on again by team CRDL. "Not again." Pyrrah muttered as she went to get them to stop but was too slow as Kuuga bolted over the table at full speed, rage in his eyes.
"Please stop." Velvet whimpered as Cardin yanked on her ears. "Why don't you make us." Cardin taunted. "SHE WON'T… BUT I WILL!" Kuuga roared as he punched Cardin in the face with enough force for there to be an audible 'crack'. Cardin laid limp and unconscious on the table possibly with a broken jaw. "Get 'im." Sky said as he and the rest of team CRDL rushed Kuuga.
Sky pulled out his daggers and tried to stab Kuuga but as he went for the lunge Kuuga caught the daggers and snapped 'em like twigs. "Uh-oh." Sky said. "I'm capable of catching bullets, what could a dinky knife do?" Kugga asked. Just then Dove leapt into the air ax in his hands ready to kill Kuuga. "Miserable punk." Kuuga said as he kicked Dove across the dining hall. Russel pulled out his rifle and leveled it at Kuugas' head ready to fire. He pulled the trigger and fired. Kuuga was able to dodge the bullet but it nicked his left eye.
"AH! You pathetic little shit… I'LL FUCKIN' KILL YOU!" Kuuga declared as he threw Sky at Russel knocking him down. When Russel went to get back up he was met with Kuugas' pissed off face, his eye was already healed. "Wait, how'd you fix your eye?" Russel asked. "My semblance is regeneration, it was a quick fix. BUT IT STILL HURT LIKE HELL!" Kuuga screamed as he started to pound Russels' face in repeatedly with his armored right hand.
Blood was flying off of Kuugas' Gauntlet as he wailed on Russel, that is until Aries and Yang grabbed him to stop him. "Boss cool it already!" Aries yelled. "Yeah you're gonna kill him!" Yang screamed. Kuuga let out a few heavy breathes and looked to see Russel's' face had been damn near reduced to a pulp. "Oh god…*Sigh* Did I red out again?" Kuuga asked Aries. "Yeah, ya did." Aries replied.
Kuuga looked around to see the mostly horrified faces of the other students. (I say mostly because only Kuugas' team, Nora, Pyrrah, and Ruby weren't affected.) Just then the massive doors to the dining hall burst open with Ozpin and Goodwitch walking in. "We heard a commotion." Goodwitch said. It didn't take the two long to see team CRDLs' members laid out and bloodied.
"Who did this?" Goodwitch asked. "I did." Kuuga answered. "They were picking on a faunus girl and no one was doing anything… so I did." Kuuga explained. "Who was the girl?" Ozpin asked. "Me sir." Velvet answered. "I see… Kuuga come with me, Goodwitch get team CRDL to the infirmary… oh and when they wake up tell them their suspended for two months." Ozpin exclaimed. "Right away sir." Goodwitch replied. "Yes sir." Kuuga complied as he followed Ozpin.
It didn't take Ozpin and Kuuga long to reach Ozpins' office. "Kuuga, do you realize the severity of what you did?" Ozpin asked. "I do sir, but I couldn't just sit by and do nothing!" Kuuga replied not knowing he was starting to yell. "I'm sorry." Kuuga said as he calmed down. "I understand why you did what you did, but next time instead of attacking your fellow students… perhaps you should try a less violent solution first." Ozpin advised. "Yes sir… what is my punishment for my actions?" Kuuga replied. "Since you had good intentions, and it's your first day I'll let you off with a warning but next time there will be consequences… do I make myself clear?" Ozpin exclaimed. "Yes sir, it won't happen again." Kuuga replied. "Good, now go be with your friends… I'm sure they're waiting in team RWBYs' dorm for you." Ozpin said. "Yes sir." Kuuga replied as he walked out the door.
As soon as kuuga was gone a figure cloaked in white came into view. "I suppose you heard all that?" Ozpin asked. "Yes, his anger is great… but if controlled properly it could be of great use." The figure said. "I agree, it must be hard for you… not being able to see him." Ozpin exclaimed. "I have no choice, if they knew I were alive it would only bring him pain… and he's got enough of that." the figure replied. "True, don't worry I'll take good care of him." Ozpin said. "You better, he's my student after all." The figure replied as they slipped out of the room.
