Hey guys sorry for the delay on the chapter. Also the contest is now closed for the OC character. I may have another one later in the story. Congratulations to... Nah I'm not telling you yet. The character will make an appearance in this chapter. Hope you enjoy
Alex woke up with a minor headache from the few drinks that he had the night before. He barely noticed the pain as he thought about the events of the nights before. He was terrified that he had told Ruby about his past. He knew that it was a bad idea that he had trusted Ruby. He didn't know if he could handle losing anyone that he trusted again. He also knew that he couldn't live the rest of his life by himself. Alex laid there for several minutes before he realized that Ruby's arm was wrapped around him. He liked the feeling of being close to somebody but it also filled him with dread. Alex lightly lifted Ruby's arm off of him as he quietly slipped out of bed. Alex walked over to the bathroom and decided to wash off from the day before. He stood under the steaming hot shower and enjoyed the way it felt on his skin. After several minutes standing under the water he shut off the valve and stepped out of the shower. Alex dressed up in black jeans and a purple shirt with a saying that made no sense to him. Why would you make a shirt that says People Like Grapes?
Alex stepped out of the bathroom just as Ruby began to stir from her sleep. "Gooooood Morning?" The girl said with her usual peppy and energetic attitude. He laughed at how she always seemed to be happy and upbeat even in situations that were negative. Even when she had no idea where one of her teammates were she still remained positive. "I don't know why but that may have been one of the most comfortable nights of sleep ever". She seemed to ponder what had made her sleep so great when she began to blush furiously. Alex chuckled to himself but decided not to address the matter any further.
"I think we should get checked out and continue our search. Also you should probably call your team and let them know your'e fine. After all it is around 2:00"
"Oh yeah that's probably a good idea"
After quite a hours of searching they still turned up empty handed. He had begun to give up on the search until he heard an explosion behind him. He turned to see a plume of smoke slowly rising from the docks. "Grab my hand and hold on tight" Alex said to Ruby. Ruby took his hand and he used his semblance to get them onto one of the crates. Ruby yelled out to Roman as he was about to shoot the faunus boy from a few days ago. Alex scolded Ruby and told her it was better to use the element of surprise. As the girl's head was turned she was hit by a dust shot from Torchwick's cane. Alex panicked as he saw Ruby drop in front of his eyes. He would not lose someone that was close to him again. He moved over to Ruby's side to examine her wounds. He was relieved to find that her wounds were minimal and he healed them with his aura but the girl remained unconscious. Alex was pissed that someone that he cared for was hurt so he decided to take his anger out on the bastards that did it. Alex flashed (Teleported I will also use ported so I don't have to write teleport every time) into a group of White Fang lackeys and went to work. As the first thug swung his sword at him Alex jumped and landed on the sword's hilt. He brought his heel into the mans jaw. He drew Vindictus from its sheathe and came down on another man with an overhead strike. The sword implanted itself into the man's head. He ported behind another faunus and shoved his sword into his back and twisted effectively severed his spine. He changed his sword into duel pistols and put bullets in the heads of two other men. He then shot the suspension cable that held a storage crate above the ground and crushed another group of soldiers. He looked over to see Torchwick trying to make a getaway. He flashed in front of him and sliced off the criminal's left hand. Roman howled in pain as Alex pushed him onto the ground and held the tip of his sword to Roman's neck. "Who the hell are you?" He demanded.
"You can tell Cinder that I'm coming for her. Tell her that she will regret not killing me when she had the chance. Also if you ever hurt one of my friends again I will not hesitate to end your pathetic life" With that Alex turned and walked away from the criminal with a smile on his face. Alex sensed Torchwick coming at him before he turned around and blocked his cane with Vindictus. "You really don't listen do you" Alex snarled as he sliced off the man's left forearm. "Now do you really want to lose your arm all the way to the shoulder." Roman glared at him and turned to run to his airship.
Alex returned to Ruby's side and scooped the unconscious girl into his arms and walked over to Blake and her faunus friend. He gave the girl to Blake and said "Make sure she gets home safe". He started to walk away from the trio before the blonde faunus stopped him. "Woah you can't just act like that didn't happen. You killed those guys without hesitation and without any effort either. How the hell could you do that?"
"What's your name?"
"Sun" he said seemingly thrown off course by the question.
"Listen Sun this world is a world of kill or be killed. Killing is not fun and killing is not right but it is necessary. As for how all you need to know is that I trained. I would appreciate if you and Blake would just forget about what happened here tonight" and with that he made his exit.
Alex opened the room to his dorm and immediately noticed that something was off. He noticed a green jacket on one of the beds with the word hope written on the back. Just then the door to the bathroom opened and out walked a boy he had never seen before. "Who the hell are you?" Alex said drawing his sword from his sheathe. The boy just simply looked away and almost seemed to try and make himself smaller.
"Ahh I see you've met our new student" He heard Ozpin say from behind him.
"Who is he and why is he in my room?" Alex snarled angrily.
"Alex Lace meet Ryan WhinterLight, your new roommate"
