Can't sleep. It's nearly 7 in the morning and I can't fucking sleep. Being nocturnal has it's uses but it sucks when the sun's in your eyes when you want to sleep. Anyways to the story.
Chapter 2: Initiation and Team
The next day I show up at the cliffs and see team RWBY standing there with Ozpin and Goodwitch.
"What are they doing here?" I say curiously.
"They will be watching your back in case something bad happens to you out there." says Ozpin.
I tug him aside and out of reach for everyone to hear. At least I thought I did. "I can't go all out if they're watching. Whenever people see what I am they flip shit and run or try to kill me."
"They are a non-judgemental team. They won't care what you are. Just do what you know how to do." he says.
I sit there glaring at him. "Fine but if one of them attacks me I will not hesitate to kill. I have had so many people try to kill me and I'm sick and tired of it." Ozpin nods and we returned to the group.
Goodwitch went through what I had to do and told me to step on the platform.
"Say. Why is there a platform here anyways?" I see team RWBY back up. Then it hits me. I look back to Ozpin as the clicking starts. "You cheeky dick waffle." I get flung through the air towards the forest as Ozpin just sips his coffee.
"Did he just call you a 'cheeky dick waffle'?" says Yang laughing at what I said.
I fall through the air and decide to kill anything as I land. Tendrils wrap around my fists and create huge hammer-like hands and launch myself towards the ground. When I hit the ground, Spikes come up from the ground and pierce through an unlucky Ursa. I morph my hands back to normal and dust myself off.
"That could have gone better." I say as I start to walk north toward the temple.
I walked for nearly and hour and nothing attacked me. I stop and sigh loudly.
"Damn it. WHY IS THERE NOTHING TO FUCKING KILL!?" Just then I hear a bush rustle and look toward it. I ignore it thinking it was just a rabbit or a squirrel. I turn back to the direction of the temple and start sprinting as fast as I can.
In a matter of a minute I reach the temple and see chess pieces. Must be the relics… Man is he on a budget or something. I walk up to the black king piece and pick it up. Once I turn around I hear a loud screech. I look to where it came from and see a deathstalker and a nevermore along with a pack of beowolves.
I raise my hands above my head in disbelief. "Where were you?! I was itching to fight something!" One of the Beowolves rush me and I grab it by the throat. I shake my head in disappointment. "You should have rushed me as a group. Now I can just do THIS!" I jab my hand into the beowolf and toss him at the others. As soon as the beowolf touched one of his buddies, Tendrils come out of him and grab the rest of the beowolves along with some trees and rocks. The tendrils retract and bring everything back to the original beowolf killing all the ones that were grabbed by the tendrils."Now all that's left is-" I got interrupted when the stinger of the deathstalker goes through my chest. I look down and back up at the deathstalker in disbelief. "Really?! While I'm talking to myself?!" I grab the stinger and pull it out. I broke off the stinger part and tossed it aside. I morph my hands into the hammerfists and Slam them onto the ground in front of me. Spikes erupt from the ground and pierce through the deathstalker wounding it severely. I proceed to jump above it and slam both my fists into its head. Tendrils wrap around the body and I absorb it while my body healed itself. The nevermore knows it won't win and tries to run. "No you don't!" My right arm morphs into a whipfist (look it up because it's hard to describe.). I launch my arm at the nevermore and grab it, yanking it back to me. I slam it into the ground while jumping in the air and whipping the blade downwards, slicing the nevermore in half and absorbing it.
RWBY's POV
"What the hell?! He isn't human?!" says a shocked Weiss.
"How did his arms do that?" asked Ruby.
"Who cares?! We have to kill him before he tries to kill us?!" says Weiss.
"What?! Why? Because he's different? I mean we don't even know why he's able to do that. Why don't we see what he has to say before we jump to conclusions?" says Blake.
Weiss shakes her head but agrees to it. "Fine. But if I don't like the answer I'm going to kill him."
Yang just stares at me with her mouth gaping.
"Yang? You okay?" asked Blake.
"That… Is… Awesome!" says Yang. Blake just shakes her head and walks out into the clearing.
My POV
I see Blake walk out into the opening and I sigh with a sad face. "Let me guess at least one of you wants to kill me because of what you saw?" Blake nods and I sigh again. "I'll meet you guys back at the cliff." I sprint back to the cliff as fast as I can and stop as soon as I enter the clearing. I look at the cliff and see there's no way back up and a bridge that would have lead me back up destroyed. Team RWBY comes out of the treeline and I see the one in White smirk.
"Need help getting back up?" She said snidely. I shake my head and turn around. I back up to where they are and sprint at the neverending abyss. At the edge I jump as High as I can (Which was about ¾ the way up) and wall run the rest of the way up and just to show off I do a frontflip at the top and land before Ozpin.
"Do you have the relic?" he asks. I take out the Black King piece and toss it to him. He catches it with ease and smiles. "That wasn't so bad now was it? Now about your team. I have decided to put you on their team." Ozpin says pointing to team RWBY.
"NO! One of them already wants to kill me after what they saw." I say.
"To bad. You're on their team." I was about to argue when team RWBY walks up. "Ah team RWBY. I have some news for you. Mr. Stack here will be joining your team. There were mixed reactions amongst the team. The white one was in disbelief, The Yellow one smiled, The black one was indifferent, and Ruby could barely contain her excitement. "Now if you'll excuse me I have things to do." Ozpin walks away along with Goodwitch.
Back in the dorm room Weiss kept complaining. "I can't believe this?! Why do we have to be stuck with a freak like you?!"
"Hey!" I shouted. "I didn't ask to be like this thank you."
"Oh sure and we're suppose to take your word for it?"
I stand up and tower over her. "You don't know the first thing about me. So why don't you take your snide comments and SHOVE THEM UP YOUR-"
"OKAY! I think we should all just calm down. Okay?" Says Blake. I give Weiss a dirty look and sit back in the corner of the room on Blake and Yang's side. I hear Ruby sigh in relief. "Now Jordan. You say you didn't want to be like this so why don't you tell us your story."
I sigh and hang my head. "You might want to sit down for this." Weiss and Ruby sit on Weiss's bed while Yang and Blake sit on Blake's bed. "When I was 15 the military broke into me and my family's house. They killed my parents, Sister, and my dogs. They then took me to a top secret facility and handed me over to some scientists. The main scientist was a man named Alex Mercer. He was creating a virus called Blacklight and needed test subjects. So far everyone died when introduced to the virus, But when they injected me with it I bonded with it. I was turned into a weapon that they wanted to control. They made me kill the other infected subjects and absorb them. I gained their memories of when they were human and with the 'special' infected I gained the powers that you saw me use along with others. They poked and pricked at me with needles, Cut me open, Hell even flat out shot me and tried to burn me alive. I escaped by doing the unthinkable. I killed one of the guards that came to get me and morphed into him. I became that soldier and walked out of the base without anyone noticing. I was in that facility for two Years and the only thing I wanted when I was out was Revenge. So I hunted down the strike team that killed my family and killed them along with all the scientist that were working on the project so no one would have to go through what I went through. I also burned all their research material so it can't be replicated. After everything was said and done I came here to escape the military and everyone in Atlas. So I can start a new life."
Everyone was speechless. Hearing what I went through really did a number on them. It also did a number on me. I brought back memories that I didn't want to see. Me and my family. Together. Happy. I get up and walk out of the room while trying to hide the tears in my eyes. Never again. I thought to myself. Never again will I ever be happy. I see a room full of instruments and decide to go there.
RWBY's POV
"Wow. Didn't think anyone could have it that bad." says Yang.
"And you wanted to kill him." says Blake to Weiss.
"How was I suppose to know… That!" she said waving her hands. Blake looks over to Ruby and see's she's crying.
"You okay Rubes?"
"It's just so sad." She said as she cried. Blake goes over to Ruby and holds her. Yang gets up and heads to the door.
"Where are you going?" asked Blake cocking an eyebrow.
"To go see if I can find Jordan. He's probably hurting even more than we are." Says Yang as she leaves to go find me.
Yang's POV
I ran through the halls looking for Jordan everywhere but I couldn't find him. I then heard a guitar being played and decided to follow the sound. I come to an empty room and see Jordan sitting there with a guitar.
"Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when September ends
like my father's come to pass
seven years has gone so fast
wake me up when September ends
here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are
as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when September ends
summer has come and passed
the innocent can never last
wake me up when September ends
ring out the bells again
like we did when spring began
wake me up when September ends
here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are
as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when September ends
(SOLO)
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when September ends
like my father's come to pass
twenty years has gone so fast
wake me up when September ends
wake me up when September ends
wake me up when September ends"
He sits there after the song and cries. He cries and cries and I can only feel sorry for him. He's lost everything and was tortured for two years. No one should live through the pain and suffering that he has. I take a step forward and he looks up at me. He puts down the guitar and starts to come toward me. He gets to me and tries to leave but I stop him. "Jordan."
"Just leave me alone." He said as he squeezed past me.
I grab his arm and hold him there. "Jordan. You don't have to deal with this alone. You aren't alone anymore."
"And why should I care. I'll never know happiness for the rest of my life. My family is gone. My humanity is gone. All I am is a freak at a school that kills monsters."
"Your point being?" He looks at me after I said that. "Happiness is something you create. Your humanity is still there. And you may not have a family but you have friends who care for you." I pull him towards me and embrace him in a hug. "You don't have to be alone. Not anymore." After hearing that he breaks down and starts to cry. I hold him close whispering soothing things into his ear. Trying to calm him down.
After a couple minutes we head back to the room. Everyone was asleep so I slipped into my bed while Jordan just sat in the corner. "Jordan." I whisper to him. He looks up to me and I motion for him to come over. He gets up and silently walks over to the bed.
"What Yang?" I open the covers up and he just raised a brow.
"Well? Come on." I say.
"Yang. Like I said before. I don't sleep. Nightmares always keep me up."
"Well I have a way to fix that. Now come on." He surrenders and hops up into the bed. I wrap my arms around him and flare some of my aura. His eyes start to close but he fights the urge. "Shhhh. Just go to sleep." His eyes finally close and he lays there finally asleep. I look at him and think to myself. You aren't alone anymore Jordan. You never will be again. I close my eyes and follow suit. Falling into the world of dreams.
Chapter two complete. Hope you guys liked it. I focused more on Yang and Me for this chapter just to start to ease into things. Well see you next time. Stack out.
