Nothing. Nothing happened. I opened my eyes to see a woman standing in front of me, with a hole blown through her chest.
"Who would?..." I asked myself, then the woman fell down on the ground almost dead. I looked at who it was
"No," I said, NO!"
I saw Maria on the ground in front of me.
"I thought..." She coughed, "That it was time to return the kindness the you showed me four years ago."
I shushed her, "Don't say anything."
I looked up at the politician.
"Oops," he said sarcastically.
"YOU," I said getting up, "I'LL KILL YOU! And this time," I chuckled, "I'm Actually going to kill you."
I clenched my fists as armor made out of Dark Matter formed around me, healing my previous wounds from earlier.
"What... Is this?" The politician said surprised.
"Just remember that what ever happens after this, You forced on yourself, Governor Zack," I told him. By then, the armor had fully formed around me in the shape of a dragon, I ran towards him and starting attacking him. When he shot at me, I dodged him.
"What are you?!" He asked in a scared tone.
I vaulted over his head, behind his back, "The Dragon," A morphed voice replied.
I slashed at him, sending him flying down the street and getting the attention of all the citizens in the process. I walked towards him as he tried to back away.
"Oh no," I said with the morphed voice, "You're not escaping this time. Your past has finally caught up with you, governor Zack, any last words?"
"Please don't hurt me," He whimpered.
"It's a bit too late for that," I said, then stuck him one last time, killing him on impact.
"Darkness!" I heard Yang yell, then I blacked out
I came to with my hand in the air, about to strike Qrow, who was on the ground in pain. I lowered my hands and looked down at them.
"What have I done?" I asked myself.
I looked up from my hands and saw Tyrant with his machetes out, turned into a sniper rifle, ready to shoot me. I got rid of the armor surrounding me, and ran off into the crowd.
"I gotta run," I said to myself, "Get as far away from here as possible."
I continued to run through the city until I reached a place to where I could get Patch without anyone stopping me on the way. I looked behind me and saw Vale from the distance, it looked like a calm, peaceful place from afar. But any one from the city knows that it really isn't. I didn't like to leave the place I spent most of my life, but it was necessary. I got on a ship to Patch, and didn't look back.
It had started raining after I got off the ship, and I didn't have anything on but a t-shirt and a pair of jeans, "Great," I thought, " Now I need to find a place to stay for a while... Aha! I can stay at my fathers house!"
I knocked on a door, and A man opened the door, he wasn't much to look at, but he looked just fine for someone living by himself.
"Is... This Taiyang Xiao Long?" I asked.
"How do you know my name?" Taiyang asked me.
I dug around in my back pocket for a bit then pulled out a piece of folded paper, and handed it to him. He took a look at the document, then looked up at me.
"You're," He said.
I nodded and he hugged me.
"I... Thought you were dead," Taiyang Told me, tearing up.
"I need a place to think," I said, "So I decided to pay you a visit. Can I stay here for a little?"
"Of course you can," He exclaimed, "But why are you here?"
"I...," I trailed off, "I think I almost killed Qrow because of my inability to control my anger."
Taiyang looked me in the eye, "Did you?"
"No," I told him, "I regained control before it could."
"...It?" He asked
I sighed, "The Dragon, whatever the hell that is,"
Taiyang got up and stood in front of me, "The Dragon is a creature from when man was still starting out. It was so powerful, that it possessed some men, and drove them towards madness. The first person that this incident happened to, was nicknamed 'The Mad King'," He explained, "Now, The Dragon is but a spirit, that goes into the bodies of new born children. A lot of people think that it died in the war. And now it has gone into you."
"Why me though? Why not someone else?" I asked.
"It's because of your semblance," Taiyang explained, "Your Semblance is a perfect match for it, something that only happens rarely. Which means, that you must learn how to control it, harness its power for the betterment of yourself. And I know just the person that can help you."
"Who?" I asked.
"Your mother," he said, "Raven."
I was walking, then out of nowhere, Grimm showed up. I did everything I could to try and defeat them, but they were too smart. It's like they could predict my every move. I kept trying to defeat them, but was getting beat all to hell. Just when I was about to give up, a woman wearing a mask showed up and drove the Grimm away. She opened up a portal.
"Wait!" I said.
She turned around and looked me in the eyes, "What?" She asked.
"I'm looking for a woman named Raven, have you seen her?" I asked.
"Depends," The woman said, "I'm gonna need to know who you are... Full name, not just the first name. Can't tell who you are if you don't give your full name."
"My name is Ryan Darkness Hunter Xiao Long," I replied, "Now do you know where Raven is?"
The woman took off the mask, "You're speaking to her."
"You might be wondering why I'm here," I said to her.
"I know about the Dragon," She said, "I named you Ryan for a reason. That was the name of the man, before he turned into the Mad King."
"So then you'll help me?" I asked with hope.
"Depends," she said, "Are you up to the task? It's gonna be a hard one indeed."
"I'm up to it," I replied.
"Okay," She said, then closed the portal, "Hit me."
I swung at her with all of my strength.
"Wrong."
"Huh?" I asked.
"Your stance," she explained, "It's all wrong. We're gonna have to start from the basics."
I readied myself to strike again, when I lunged at her, she stepped out of the way and tripped me.
"And to think that you're my child," Raven scoffed, "Again."
"But-,"
"I said AGAIN."
After a couple of weeks of training under Raven, I had completely mastered my semblance, and figured out how to control the Dragon.
"Good," Raven said, "I can now begin to start calling you my son," she opened up two portals, vanished into one, and let me use the other.
I came out on a cliff side, over looking a small village, run by a corrupt Atlas official. I looked down at my right arm, which I replaced with a harder, denser shell, made from Dark Matter.
"Alright," I thought to my self, "Let's do this."
I walked towards the gate to the village, which was guarded by two White Fang soldiers.
"Hey! You!" One of them yelled, "Stop right there."
I walked in between the two of them, and pulled both of my arms up. Almost in an instant both of the guards were engulfed in Dark Matter. I kicked the doors to the village open and walked in. There was a village 'meeting' in progress.
"Hey! You!" I yelled.
The corrupt Altlas official turned towards me, "Who are you! And what do you want?"
"It's not what I want," I said, "Really, it's not about what anybody wants, it's about me delivering to you, what is already inevitable."
"And what's that?" He asked.
"Your death," I replied.
"Somebody kill him!" He said to his guards as the started firing at me.
"I can see what you're all feeling right now," I said, "It's fear, and you know what fear brings. Grimm."
Just then Grimm rushed in through the gate and started killing the White Fang guards. When they were done killing the guards, they looked at the villagers.
"Stop," I said,then they stopped and fell to dust, "Villagers, today the White Fang shall no longer threaten your village."
"But what if they come back?" One of the villagers asked.
"Then you will kill them," I explained, "With these guns."
I formed a bunch of guns in the middle of the village. I started to walk off when a little kid ran up to me.
"Thank you sir!" The kid said.
"All I did was the right thing. I stopped a corrupt leader," I told the kid, then took off the hood I was wearing.
The kid looked at my face, " You're that singer!" She exclaimed.
"Shh," I whispered, "Not so loud... I know I've given up on my singing career, but I can give you this," I finished, then pulled out a headset with a mic attached, "It's the headset I used."
The girl gave me a hug and ran to her mother, then the village elder walked up to me.
"Thank you, kind young man, for saving our lives," He said
"No problem," I replied, "Now, I need to go. I have to get back to Vale."
After I walked out of the gate, I heard a engine, and some terrible music to go along with it.
"They still haven't fixed their ship yet?" I asked out loud just as a Warthog drove up and stopped.
"Need a ride for some reason?" Sarge asked.
"Sure," I replied, then got on the mounted turret.
I walked into Vale, with a cape on that had a wing design and a Dragons eye on it. People stopped and stared at me like they haven't seen me before. I walked towards the courtyard for Beacon and went inside.
"First stop," I said, "Team RWBY's dorm."
I walked up to the door and knocked on it.
"May... I help you in any way?" Yang said answering the door.
I took off my hood, "Sup?" I asked.
"Oh!" She said, "It's you! Come on in!"
I walked into the dorm to see Ruby, Weiss, and Blake sitting in chairs, "You're not mad at me are you?" I asked Ruby and Yang.
"Not at all," Ruby said calmly.
"Just a little," Yang said enthusiastically.
"Sooooo," Ruby breathed, "What are you gonna do now that your not a Huntsman in training?"
"I'm probably gonna join some sort of military program," I replied, "Or maybe go into a fighting career."
Just then my scroll started ringing, I looked at it and saw that it was Zodiac, "I need to get this," I told Team RWBY, then walked out of the dorm, "What do you want?" I asked, answering the call.
"Two things," Zodiac told me, "First, why the hell weren't you answering any calls before now. Second, I found some people that we could use on our side."
"Well, I had to keep my location a secret," I replied, "where are these people?"
"There are two of them," He explained, "Twins. They're waiting for you at The asylum... You know, that bar."
"I'll head over there right away," I told him, then hung up. I popped my head into the dorm to team RWBY and told them I was heading out.
I walked up to the bar that those twins were waiting for me in, "This is the place," I told myself, "Let's hope that they didn't get bored."
I walked in and ducked just as someone threw a chair at the door I dodged my way towards the twins when I saw them.
"Are you the two Zodiac told me about?" I asked them.
"I don't know, are you the leader of the Fallen Remnants?" One of them asked in return.
"Yes I am," I answered, "Do you know who the Fallen Remnants are?"
"Not really," The other said.
"The Fallen Remants is a organization of Humans and Faunus, created by me, to unite the two races in hopes of re-establishing this broken down peace that citizens in the different kingdoms are led to believe is strong," I explained, "We have operatives in every kingdom making sure that every kingdom trains the best Huntsman and Huntresses, so far Beacon Academy has proved to be the most promising. We also make sure that all the headmasters work together on training them. Now, we have a special agreement with the headmaster of Beacon, giving clearance to just about every classified document."
"Sounds good," The first one said, "Oh by the way, I'm Lavender and my sister's name is Lilac."
"Welcome to the Fallen Remnants," I said.
I walked into Ozpin's office at Beacon academy, "Hey Ozpin," I said, "Do you need any more teachers?"
"Why do you ask?" He replied.
"I would like to become a Professor here," I explained.
"Hopefully you realize that I can't just hire people out of the blue like that," Ozpin notified me, "But seeing on how it's you, I can make an exception. What were you planing on teaching?"
