Hey IT'S YOUR OLD PAL NERRY HERE WITH ANOTHER CHAPTER FOR YA'LL! Now, I have realized that, while I said Kha'Zix and the others would be OOC, I have realized that I took that slightly too far, so I will try to make Kha'Zix slightly more in character, such as not being a happy go lucky kind person. He's going to be human and faunus hating as the actual Kha'Zix would. Same with the others. They will closer to themselves than I originally thought. Leave a review saying if you want me to go back to the old way or not. And if so, should I rewrite the first chapter? ENJOY YO STORY!
Kha'Zix sat in the bullhead, his insectoid antenna twitching with the sounds surrounding him. He did not care to go about meeting anyone, they would not have any impact on his future here. He would be 'kind' to those his mortal human body called parents out of repayment, but he wouldn't needlessly go around talking with humans. Though, if they had food… that would be another story entirely. He would talk just long enough to get the food and then leave.
Glancing down at his weapons, Adapt and Evolve, he looked them over. He had since painted them his usual colors, purple and green. Kha'Zix merely glanced around anxiously, his old instincts telling him to hunt down those with strength, but he had since learned to tame those feelings. Though the instinct of sensing those with strength is still running strong. He could sense a slight bump in power in the red haired girl, but he paid it no heed. He was far stronger than any in this pathetic world. Back in the League, he fought gods on a daily basis, what threat could mere humans give him? He had picked up the baggage he bore with him and rose to the window of the metal beast he was inside.
Looking throughout the bullhead, the only person he took even the slightest heed of was the silver eyed girl. He knew not where her power came from, only that she was no mere human. While he would still kill her with ease should he so choose to, her power is far greater than any of those around him. He was still much too far ahead of her for her to pose even a broken nail however. No amount of hidden strength could bridge the power gap.
After a while, a bump was felt as the metal contraption landed on the ground of the landing zone. Kha'zix had wisely chosen a seat next to the exit, being one of the first ones out, taking full advantage of the situation to get away from the human's, power leaping away from the contraption.
'Hmmph. Now where is that assembly hall they were speaking of…' He began showering around until he heard a noise not even rebirth would cure his fear of.
BOOM
'IT'S A FUCKING TOWER!' He ducked and covered when the loud boom came to his ears, but luckily it was merely an explosion. No towers around. He got up dusting himself off hoping no one saw that. He looked around and saw two girls in a crater, the scythe wielder from earlier, and a white haired girl. He cared not for either of them and began to look around the meeting place.
With his antenna twitching at even the slightest noise, he walked down the cement path to the assembly hall, after reading a map. He saw the large building in the distance and kept walking towards it. He was in no hurry. He saw the girl in red from before running into it with a blonde haired boy. He followed them into the building seeing the large crowd of humans and Faunus as they called other species here.
He crouched down on the seat he had chosen, looking around the area. He saw the headmaster and a blonde woman stand on the stage and give a speech, he cared not what it was about. He waited until the speech was over to focus. They told him where to sleep, that was enough for him.
He walked over to the area where the men were to sleep and placed down his sleeping mat. Laying down on it he tried to drift off to sleep. Key word, "Tried".
Looking to the source of his inability to rest, he saw two girls arguing in the corner, with one trying to ignore the two, and the other trying to calm them. He sat up, glaring at the corner of which they were in. He saw the one in white, the Schnee girl, being self righteous as he would expect from a member of the family. The other was a blonde girl, which eerily reminded him of the more emotion driven members of the league.
"Shhh! People are trying to sleep!" The girl in red and black whisper yelled. Peering at the four girls with his purple glowing eyes in the dark, he watched what was so important as to delay his sleep. The girl in white and the girl in yellow kept arguing without cease.
The girl in black clearly noticed his glaring insectoid eyes, but no movement to do anything. Instincts telling her to sit still no doubt. She slowly reached for the candle and blew it out. His glaring eyes closed as he began to sleep, as the argument was extinguished with the light.
The next morning he began collecting his weapons, Adapt and Evolve, from their cases. He smiled evilly at the blades knowing the lives he would claim with them on his next hunt. Moving out of the corridor, his danger instincts detected an incoming object.
Looking at the item he had just caught that would have passed him, it was a large spear that was aimed for a blonde boy flirting with an irate white haired girl. He cared naught for their names, only that he taught the girl who threw the spear a lesson in manners.
"H-huh?! Someone caught the spear? That's a change…" the red haired girl muttered. Kha'zix walked up and stabbed the spear deep into the ground. Deep enough that it would take a substantial amount of effort to pull it out again.
"Change is good. And next time you intend to impale your comrade, make sure there aren't so many witnesses." He left her in a stuttering mess to try and justify her actions. To ensure he was not followed by the nosy humans he activated his stealth. He cared naught for why she threw the spear, only that is was aimed at her comrade.
Walking into the platform, he deactivated his stealth. He saw an orange haired girl jump at his appearance and started yammering at him about how he did it and whatnot. He ignored her to keep his sanity from how fast she was speaking.
"Leave the boy be Nora." Her calm friend in oriental clothing said to his hyper friend. She turned and complained at him.
"Come on Ren! Aren't you wondering how he just appeared like that?!"
"Probably just his semblance." The boy replied calmly to the orange haired girl. Kha'zix gave a small nod of acknowledgement to the boy in thanks for shutting the girl up, but turned to the stage as the headmaster, Ozpin he believed, walked onto the stage explaining the initiation. Kha'zix tuned him out after the explanation of the relics. It would simple to find them.
The only thing that caught him off guard was being flung through the air. He gave a loud howl of surprise until he flipped around seeing that other students were following him. He glared in determination and sprouted his insectoid forms wings flying away from the place he WOULD have landed.
He flew, being reminded of his flights in his old world, seeing the world beneath him. As it should be.
Flying over the forest ignoring the surprised eyes of other students he kept trying to see the ruins. After a small amount of time he saw them. Diving down towards the ruins he tried to see where the relics might be. He began a nose dive, tucking his wings back into non existence as he landed on his feet, looking around the ruins for the relics.
'Are those… chess pieces?' Kha'zix was expecting items of ancient power as he had seen in his old world, not some worthless trinkets! Giving an exasperated hiss, he dived down to see which he should collect. He was naturally the first there.
'Perhaps the most versatile piece.' Picking up the golden pawn, he stuffed it in his pocket and prepared to leave. That is until he sensed a presence that he should not have felt in this world.
"Kha'zix, would that be you?" Kha'zix whirled around on the all too familiar voice.
"Vel'koz?!" Kha'Zix's mind was going many miles per hour. How could he be here? Though, the more he thought about it, the more logical it became. He was reborn, so why wouldn't Vel'Koz?
"Ah, it is good to know I am not the only one." Though Vel'koz's new body had some strangeness to it. One of his old tentacles was coming out at his lower back much like a tail, but it was his appearance that was strange. He looked like a male Faunus child wearing glasses. But for him to be here, he had to be of age right?
"You are not the only one Vel'koz. Now, why do you look like you do?" Vel'koz looked himself over and looked back at Kha'zix.
"The humans called it a lack of growth hormones. If I were a mere human or Faunus I would be dead by now due to their weakness." He said as he grabbed a golden pawn. He walked over to Kha'zix and looked him in the eye.
"Well, we are partners now." Kha'zix raised an eyebrow. He had never heard of anything about partners, or anything akin to it.
"What do you mean, 'partners'?" Vel'koz started walking back to the platform. He looked back at Kha'zix.
"The first person you make eye contact with is your partner for the next four years. Did you not listen to the headmaster's instructions?" Kha'zix rolls his eyes and follows him back to the cliff side.
"Perhaps I tuned him out, but very well. It is better than getting a human as an ally." The two kept walking through the ruins, looking around at the ruins in case there was an ambush somewhere.
"Hmph, looks like the league just has us paranoid. Let's just hurry for the wall." Vel'koz nodded at Kha'zix's words and began to run for the wall with Kha'Zix. They ran through the ruins, Vel'koz floating with a purple aura to keep up with the much faster Kha'Zix.
After getting to it, they both began to fly up, Kha'zix using his wings and Vel'koz being enveloped in a purple glow ascending the cliff. Ascending the cliff and looking behind him, Vel'koz looked behind them seeing that other members of the school were now arriving at the spot. They kept climbing until they arrived at the top, at which point they walked up to the headmaster and gave him their relics.
"Congratulations boys. Please stand over there while we wait for the other students." Kha'zix walked away with Vel'koz the area they were meant to stand. Kha'Zix looked at Vel'Koz for idle conversation.
"So, where have you been all this time? 'Kingdom' Wise that is. What they call kingdoms here are absolutely pathetic. As much as I loath to say it, the kingdoms of our old land would easily crush these lands." He crouched in his usual insectoid manner in the seat he had chosen, while Vel'Koz hovered above his chair.
"I agree. Valoran and the others would destroy this land. But I have been in Atlas before this." Kha'zix nodded at him, looking for any signs of the other students.
"Do you think the other two had made it here?" Kha'zix asked his friend curiously. Vel'Koz shook his head.
"Perhaps not, but even if they did, the chances of them finding us or vica versa would be utterly abissma-" He ceased his sentence as he turned around at the feeling of two very familiar presences. Kha'Zix whipped around towards the presences, seeing a tall woman with purple hair, purple eyes, a beautiful face, a perfect figure, and impressive… assets. The other presence was an unbelievably adorable boy with bright red hair and freckles, along with a short figure. The two were walking towards Kha'Zix and Vel'Koz.
Kha'Zix and Vel'Koz walked towards them in turn, feeling the familiar aura of the void, and reveling in it. It felt so relieving to feel the embrace of the voids energy around them once more, the void energy of the four present conjoining together and swirling around them, being invisible to anything that was not them.
The void swirled around the truly soulless beings, reminding them of their individual reasons for existence. The seeking of perfection, the thirst of knowledge, the will to protect, and the want to subjugate.
"Kha'Zix, I remember your smell." The woman said, crossing her arms under her large chest, clearly having gotten used to having it. She had a neutral look on her face, looking at Kha'zix with her eyes slightly squinted. They had fought in the league, and had occasionally been enemies or allies.
"And I remember your taste. Did you like all those bites in the league?" Kha'Zix said, snickering to himself. He was usually the one beating her, as she was always alone by preference. She grit her teeth remembering those times. Vel'Koz looked at the red haired boy, his eyes flashing purple.
"I see you have arrived as well, Cho'gath." Vel'koz said, scrutinizing the taller male. Cho'gath did the best sneer he could with his currently adorable face. It looked more like a child's glare. He and Vel'Koz had been opposing forces even before the League. They had very different goals. One sought knowledge through any means necessary, and the other sought to create chaos and disorder.
"Laughable, if a weakling like you could make it, why would I not be able to?" Cho'gath said scathingly, looking his old rival in the eyes. Vel'koz shrugged and looked away, turning to Kha'Zix.
"Exchanging childish insults with you would be a waste of my time." Vel'koz said coolly, looking to the two leaders of the group. Kha'zix exchanged his old malicious look for a thoughtful one.
"Now that we are here, what should we do get ourselves a foothold?" Kha'Zix said with crossed arms as they reined their void aura's, seeing that they had to think clearly. They became deep in thought, Rek'Sai speaking up after a small amount of time.
"Espionage. You often did that back in the league, so it should transfer over to here. We need to gather information before we can make any drastic moves." She said, looking over at the three others, all of them nodding in agreement at her decision. They needed to make sure it was safe enough for them to take action before actually taking that action.
Kha'zix sneered in thought, nodding a single time, quickly standing like a normal person while he saw the other people arrive on the platform.
After time had passed, most of the other students were on the platform, with Ozpin standing on the stage of which was at the head of the platform. He looked over, a few of the relics missing, which meant that students were still out there. He looked at his camera's to watch the student's, seeing them fighting a death stalker and a nevermore.
He nodded as he saw the 8 teens defeat the monsters, allowing them to scale the cliffside with the relics they had claimed. They cheered when they reached the top, Ozpin giving a smile from behind his mug.
Meanwhile Kha'Zix rolled his eyes at the over reactant celebration of their so called victory, looking over at them with his dark purple eyes. He made eye contact with the girl in the bow, causing her to quickly look away, remembering the malicious glow from the other night that had plagued her dreams. No one forgot the void hunter's gaze.
He sneered once more at her and the others, seeing them line up with the other teens as they looked to Ozpin who was reading off names and teams, along with what relic they received, congratulating them on completing their task.
Eventually, Ozpin came to the last three teams yet to be named.
"Khan Zixas, Chase Gathorn, Rebeka Saitya, Vellious Kozite." The four void beasts came to the stage, their alias' having been named by the silver haired man. Kha'zix resisted the urge to twitch his head like he so often had done in the league. Vel'Koz was too busy burying his head in a book to focus on the event, while Rek'Sai looked away from all the admiring and lustful gazes of human and faunus alike. Cho'gath laughed under his breath at her slight embarrassment, as back in the league she was considered anything BUT beautiful, which made her unused to the admiring of her body.
"From this day forward, you are to be known as team KCRV(Crave). Led by, Khan Zixas." Kha'zix gave the most sincere looking fake smile he could, looking at all the canon fodder before him. He saw no one and nothing of importance before him. Alas, he would have to blend in with them, and hide his hatred for the next few years surrounded by the inferior beings. All they were good for was forwarding his progress to perfection.
They walked off the stage as team RWBY and JNPR were announced, looking around him as the various teams and students dispersed. They all walked to the room they were provided in silence, looking around the campus they were at. Following a path through a garden, they saw no point to speaking as they already knew their plans.
Chapter one, End.
