Part two. Who's ready for some explanation! :O I still own nothing in case you were wondering.
I studied the map for a solid 10 minutes planning my next few moves. I knew that it would fall apart or I'll just say fuck it and go do something more fun or just better in general. But, first things first I need to drop off the body. So to do that I need to go down one then up two so I can stop by Remmnent. Wait. You probably don't know what that means do you... Let me explain. So, the universe is broken up into galaxies. Each one of these galaxies has a pretty fixed spot, one on top of the other. Then there's one in particular, I call it Earth prime because it's the oldest from what I'm told and there are other planets in other galaxies that are geographically similar. So this Earth Prime is kinda like the heart of the universe. And, like the heart, if it's destroyed the entire universe will die but only by a force outside of Earth Prime. So the fact that a man was able to get here from another galaxy is very VERY concerning. Oh and I guess I never mentioned... I'm the most powerful person in the Universe. Not only amI super strong (and super sexy) I'm also the only one able to freely teleport anywhere in the universe. So, of course, because of this I'm tasked with keeping order and balance in the universe. This means I have to do some... Distasteful things to keep said order. So. My plan. First I've gotta talk to Raidin. He'll keep an eye out for any galactic doors that will pop up then I'll head to Remmnent and talk to Ozzy and probably hang out there for a while, inspect the new hunters, things like that... I think that's enough to get me going. I grabbed the body and teleported to Raidin's temple. It was raining like always and the Thunder God was sitting under an alter meditating.
"Mark. It's been a while" he said.
"Hey. I'm here with bad news"
He opened his eyes to find me with the dead body of Sub-Zero, the leader of the Lin-Quay, around my shoulders.
"That really isn't good news. What happened?"
"He attacked me on Prime. I had to put him down. I hope this dousing complicate your politics. "
"Whenever you show up everything goes to hell. Sometimes literally. I can fix this but it'll take time."
"Good. I need a favor."
"What?"
"If you find any doors leading to lands outside of this galaxy, let me know as soon as possible."
"I can do this"
"Good. And if I need you to rally the troops can you?"
"Of course. Why?"
"Because I fear these doors will lead to something. Something bad."
"Okay. I'll keep them all on stand by."
"Thank you Raidin. I'll see you soon. But hopefully not to soon."
With those words I teleported to Remmnent. I really didn't like being on the stages of Mortal Kombat. Not enough allies. Not comfortable enough there and I almost don't want to be. Raidin is the only one I remotely trust. Remmnent on the other hand, LOVE that place. Especially Vale in the summer. Beautiful. Anyways I spawned in above Professor Ozpins desk in the interworking of the clock above his office. Ozpin is a busy man running Beacon, the best school on the planet for training Hunters and Huntresses to protect the people of Remmnent. It's one of the best combat schools in the universe besides the Jedi academy. Below me I could see Oz behind his desk and 4 students in front of him asking about schedules and such. School had just started less than a week ago and teams were newly formed. The one in front of the headmaster compromised four women, one younger then the rest. They all wore different colors and stood differently. The one in red, the youngest, stood slightly slouched and hid her weapon behind a red cape. The one in white stood tall and elegantly and branded a fencing like sword. A gentleman's weapon. The one in black stood proud but shy at the same time. She was obviously a quite one. She carried a sword connected to a gun hilt. The last wearing yellow was constantly shifting weight from one leg to the other while sticking her chest out giving a view not leaving too much for the imagination. She appeared to have shot-gauntlets which are pretty badass if you ask me. I then pulled out the spearhead from my gauntlets (which are way cooler) and jumped down behind Oz, putting the blade up to his neck.
"Hello Ozzy my friend. It's been a while."
"Mark. To what do I owe the pleasure."
"No. I snuck up on you good and could have taken your life. What do I get...?"
"Fine"
Ozpin reached into his pocket and pulled out 100 lien (currency on Remmnent) and handed it to me behind him. With that I put the knife away.
"How long has it been for ya Oz? It's been way to long for me." I said with a gin turning him around and pulling him in for a huge hug. He smiled and replied
"Almost 20 years Mark. Barely aged a day. How long for you?"
"Almost 100 man. It's been forever. I've been having less and less time to come here and goof off like the old days."
"Ehem. Excuse me but who are you?" The girl in white said to me in a rude and privlaged manner. This was the first time I saw team RWBY's face. White had a scare on her left eye, yellow had purple eyes with a small tint of red in them, black had eyes like a cat (probably a Faunus of some kind) and red... well red was adorable. She looked about my technical age of 15 which was good. I don't know I might have a shot. We'll see.
"I said, who the heck are you?" White asked again. I relalized I had taken a second to long looking. I could tell Red was blushing slightly.
"I'm sorry. Allow myself to introduce...myself. My name is Mark. Nice to meet you. And you are...?"
"Team RWBY." Red said. "I'm Ruby, this is Weiss, Blake, and Yang."
"Well. It's a pleasure to meet you but I really must discuss something with your headmaster."
"Well we were here first. If it can't wait then..." Weiss began before I cut her off.
"No. This is urgent and I garentee it's more important than whatever your little issue is."I said sternly. "Now please. Can you give us a minute."
They all looked at Ozpin and he gave them a nod, so they left the room and waited outside.
"Alright. Listen Oz. I was attacked by Sub-zero today on Earth Prime."
"What?! How is that possible?"
"I think he may have went through a galactic door. Basically a portal to anywhere else in the galaxy."
"What do you want me to do with this information?"
The door began to creak forward so I extended my hand and used a little trick the Jedi showed me to close it.
"I want you to keep eyes out for them and continue to train your hunters. I fear they may be going to a war bigger than the one you're preparing them for."
"Okay. I can do that"
"Also"
"Yes?"
"I'm crashing here for a while. Got any empty rooms?"
"Ummmmmm...let's see..." He checked his computer real fast. " I have the 10th room on the 5th floor of freshman dorms open. Looks like nobody claimed it."
"Sold. And also can you send me all the first year team information and tell the sparing instructor I'm going to be crashing class tomorrow. "
"1. Do you still have that scroll?"
"I do." I said as I reached into my back pocket and pulled out a digital scroll.
"Good. And 2. It's Friday. I'll let Goodwich know but you'll have to wait for Monday."
"Wait. Glenda is a professor? When did this happen?"
"A week after I was appointed headmaster. "
"Damn it. I had no idea. I'll have to say hi."
"She does hold grudges a long time just in case you forgot."
"Hey it wasn't entirely my fault. Qrow and Summer were in on it too."
"But you still were instrumental."
"True. But still... Fuck you not my fault."
"Fine. If you say so"
"Alright. I guess I'll head over to my room. Will the files be there by the time I arrive?"
"Depends. How are you getting there?"
"I'm walking. I want to see beacon again. It's been a while."
With that began to walk out the door but was stopped by four ears pressed tightly against it.
"Did you guys like what you heard?" I said as I walked passed them knowing full well those girls would be a big part of this world. After taking a nice stroll through the campus, I arrived at my new home for the next few X amount of time. I closed the door and looked at the 4 beds in the room. I pushed one against the far wall and stacked the rest next to it making one mega bed. I then took out my scroll and looked at the messages. 400 individual files and 100 teams. Something told me I didn't have to go through all of them though. That something was a small scrap of paper from the universe that read "JNPR. RWBY." And before you ask yes, the universe does communicate directly with me though sheets of paper that randomly appear. The universe may not be alive but it's definitely sentient. So with the two teams I needed and a weekend to study I got to work.
"Who the hell does he think he is?!" I heard through my wall.
"Coming in there and taking his attention off us. I'm sure it wasn't even that important."
"Weiss. Calm down. It's no big deal."
"No big deal? Yang. Common. We were there first. He might as well have just slapped us in the face."
"Don't you think that's a slight exaggeration?"
"I think it might be" I said as I poked my head out from my open door to see team RWBY opening the door next to mine.
"What a coiki-dink am I right. What are the odds that were neighbors now. I'm serious when I say I didn't plan this."
"Why would you have planned this?" Blake asked.
"Fuck if I know. I was just making sure you didn't assume I did. You know what happens when you assume."
"What?" Yang asked
"You make an ass out of you and me"
Small pause
"Well he's not completely wrong."
"Why thank you Ruby."
With that Weiss walked into their dorm with a disgusted expression. She obviously didn't like me much. Yang and Blake walked in after an awkward silence for about 5-6 seconds.
"I'm sorry about Wiess's behavior. She's used to being kinda spoiled in ways."
"Ruby, you don't have to apologize for the actions of one of your teammates. At least never to me. But I do appreciate the thought."
She responded with a smile that made me actually quite happy.
"Hey I have a question" I said kinda abruptly.
"Fire away"
"You you know a team JNPR?"
"Of course. Those guys are the best. We're like best friends. They're actually right across the hall."
"Really? Well that good to know. Thanks for the help on that"
"No problem."
"Umm so I've got some work I need to do..."
"Oh. Sorry. Don't wanna get in the way"
"Oh no you're not in the way it's just..."
"Yeah. I've got ya. Don't worry about it."
"Ok. I'll see you around I guess."
"Definitely. I'll see you around."
With that she walked into her dorm. I closed my door behind her, put my back against it and slowly slid to the floor. I had a damn crush. That's not a good thing in my line of work. Someone always seems to get hurt. I brushed the thought off and set aside the files I would need to look over during the weekend. I then left my dorm to go find Ozpin to see if he was in the mood to grab a drink.
I hope you enjoyed. part 3 coming soon.
