A/N: Guess who's back! Sorry I haven't updated this story in a while. I wanted to play xbox and work on my other story. Speaking of other story check it out. Also I stumped myself as to how to continue this story. Finally I've been looking for a job. It's hard to find a job when every available job is 18+ and you're 17. Luckily My birthday is coming up and I will finally be 18. Now that I have that out of the way. ON TO THE STORY!


chapter 12: Family Matters and So Does Revenge

In just a few days I was back on my feet and attending classes. I told the others about my eye but leave out the part about my dead Bros visiting me. They all felt sorry for me and told me they would help in any way they could.

"Thanks guys that means a lot." Soon Velvet comes in and sits down. I notice she seems down. "What's wrong Velvet?"

She looks up with a smile. "Nothings wrong Shadow." I stare at her and soon she cracks. "Alright fine. Cardin was picking on me while you were in that coma." I nod in understanding.

"Does anyone have any rope?" Everyone shook there head except for Blake. I look at her and she adverts my gaze. "Blaaaaaake?" She gives up and gives me some ribbon that she uses for Gambol Shroud. "Thank you. Now I'll be right back." I get up and go straight to Cardin. "Hey there Cardin." He freezes and turns to look at me. "A little bird told me you've been picking on Velvet while I was out."

"Well your little bird is wrong." he said. With a smirk.

. . .

I punch him in the face sending him to the floor then tie the ribbon around his feet.

"What are you doing?!" I drag him out of the cafeteria and onto the roof. All the while Teams RWBY and JNPR with Velvet follow. Curious as to what I was going to do. I go to the edge of the roof and dangle him off of it.

"You want to change your answer now?"

"You wouldn't dare!" I shrug and let go of the ribbon a little sending him down to the ground fast. Before he hits the ground I stop him. I pull him back up to the roof and stare at him smiling.

"You changing your answer now?"

"You're a psychopath!" I sigh and let him fall again. I stop him even closer to the ground so his face is an inch of the ground. I pull him up to the roof again.

"You know. Sooner or later I'm going to run out of room to stop your fall."

"Okay! Okay! I did pick on Velvet when you were out! Please just let me go!"

"See? Now was that so hard to admit?" I let him fall again and stop him half an inch off the ground. I then let him go and he sprints out of there like a bat outta hell.

"That was an... Interesting way to make him admit it." said Weiss.

"That was awesome! How did you know when to stop him?" Said Nora liking the way I handled the situation.

"I didn't." I replied with a grin.

"You just gambled a human life and don't even feel anything?" asked Pyrrha.

"Yup!" I said smiling ear to ear. Pyrrha just shakes her head with a grin. "You should know by now that I would do anything to protect my friends and loved ones. Even gamble with someones life."

"You this is gonna come back to bite you right?" said Blake.

"No it won't." I said smiling. Blake raised her eyebrow. "I have logic on my side." I hand her the ribbon and we all walk back to the cafeteria.


Soon Team RWBYS was called into Ozpin's office. We knocked on the door and Ozpin told us to enter. We all enter and stand before him.

"Alright team RWBYS, I have a mission for you. We have reports of a business being attacked by Torchwick."

"Isn't that normal considering how many dust shops have been robbed by him?" I asked.

"It would if the business was into dust. But this is a mercenary business. You should be familiar with it Shadow. It was after all your business that was hit."

My eyes go wide. "What?!"

"Yes it seems he is knows your alive and is trying to get you to stop hiding." I grit my teeth and clench my fists. Torchwick attacked my business. The place where I have all my friends and documents on...

"My family." I whisper. Everyone looks at me. "My business has files on all it's employees. Who they are, what they did in the past, and where there families live." RWBY gets wide eyed knowing what Torchwick is after. "I'm leaving right now." I turn and start running for the door. Team RWBY follow me immediately after. I summon a pelican and we all pile in. I get in the pilots seat and start up the engines. We took off at full speed toward my house. Hang on guys. I'm coming.


We reach my house in a matter of minutes and after I land I sprint in the house only to be smashed in the back of the head. I stumble a little but I turn around and hit my attacker. RWBY comes in and before I can do any more damage. I hear Torchwick behind me.

"Well that didn't go as planed." I turn and was about to sprint at him. "Ah ah ah." He grabs my little sister and holds a blade up to her neck. "Don't try anything or she dies."

"HA!" I summon a sniper and take aim at his head. "What makes you think I can't stop you before that happens."

"Simple." The same two other people who killed my brothers appear holding my mother and Mark. "You can't kill all of us." I look between them and give up.

"Put your weapons down." Team RWBY just looks at me as I throw down my sniper.

Ruby speaks up from behind me. "Are you insane?! We can take them!"

"I said put them down!" They look at me, then my family, then put their weapons on the ground.

"Good girls. Now then Shadow. Tell us where it is." says Torchwick.

"You know I won't. You'll just use him for your plan then kill him!" Torchwick makes disappointed tick sounds and kills my sister. "NO!" I see my sister's body hit the floor as a pool of her blood starts to spread.

"Only two more left. Tell me where he is."

I stare at Torchwick and the others. "Fuck you! You aren't going to have him!"

The man in the mask kills my step-dad with a shotgun blast in the chest. Mark falls and all I can do is watch. "One left. Your poor old mother is the only one left in this world who is flesh and blood. The woman who gave birth to you and raised you. Tell us where he is or we kill her." I look to my mom and see her mouth 'don't tell them'. I get conflicted really quick. I was just about to tell them when my mother headbutted the woman in the red dress and started to run forward, but the woman launched a fireball and my mother burst into flames. She was still running forward and as she got to me she faded to ash. "NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!" I kick my gun back up into my hand and fire all four rounds at the woman. She deflects all of them and I come out of nowhere with Lilith's chainsaw active and slice her across her neck and down to cut her diagonally. I turn to Torchwick but get shot by the man in the mask. Before I can do anything Blake comes out of nowhere and stabs the man in the arm. The man picks up his sword and runs out the back with Torchwick. They get into a Bullhead and start to fly away. I sprint back out front and get in the pelican Blake follows and tries to stop me but I'm filled with rage. (A/N: The others were too slow to react to what was going on and got left behind.) I push past them and take off after the bullhead with the others in the back. Blake comes to the cockpit and tries to reason with me.

"Shadow stop. You're blinded by rage just stop." I ignore her and see the Bullhead in my sights. I fire the machine guns on the nose but all the bullets bounce off. I swap the machine gun for the experimental laser and charge it. As soon as it fires it hits the left engine of the bullhead causing it to lose control and crash at the docks. I land the pelican and jump out the canopy as it opens. I move toward the crash site and see Torchwick crawling. I walk up to him and kick him in the gut sending him rolling and landing on his back. I flip him onto his stomach and grab one of his arms. (A/N: Just so you know one things. If anyone gets pissed off don't do this.) I pull as hard as I can and rip his arm off. Then I repeatedly slam his arm into his head until there's nothing left to hit. Blake sees this and runs up to me as I keep beating on the headless body of Torchwick

"Shadow that's enough!" she said. I keep hitting the headless body ignoring her. She comes up and wraps me in a hug. "Shadow! Please stop! He's dead! You killed him! Just stop." I turn to her and before I hit her I see she's crying. I start to calm down and drop the arm. I break down and start to cry for my now deceased family. She holds me close trying to comfort me. "It's alright Shadow. It's alright." The others made it to the crash site and ran over.

"Holy crap! What the hell happened?!" said Yang as she points to the body and tried not to puke. Ruby takes one look and runs back and starts puking, while Weiss looks away disgusted and went to see if her girlfriend was okay.

Blake gave yang a glare that read 'Now's not the time' and returned to trying to comfort me. Yang held up her hands in defense and walked away to call Spyro.


Spyro came about 45 minutes later and saw the wreckage and the body being loaded into a body bag by local authorities. He found us and walked over.

"What the hell happened here?"

"We'll tell you later. Can you fly that?" Yang said pointing toward the pelican.

"Of course but why didn't you ask Shadow?" Yang points to me. I looked like a man with nothing to live for. Spyro was shocked to see me like this. He looked back to Yang. "What happened?"

"Like I said before. We'll tell you later along with the rest of JNPR." Spyro nodded and we all piled into the pelican. Blake helped me into my seat and held me close still trying to comfort me. We took off and arrived at beacon in a couple minutes. JNPR was waiting at the landing pad per requested by Ruby. The rear hatch opened and we all walked out. Pyrrha looked and saw me covered in Torchwick's blood.

"What happened?" She asked concerned based on how I looked.

"Meet us in our room and we'll explain." said Yang. Pyrrha nodded and we all went inside. Blake took me to my room while Yang, Ruby, and Weiss went to Ozpin's office.

Ozpin looked and noticed me and Blake weren't there. "Where are Shadow and ms. Belladonna?"

"Blake is taking Shadow to his room." Ruby said.

"I see. How did the mission go?" All the girls got a saddened look on their faces.

"Sir. Shadows family was killed." Ozpin nods in understanding. "He also killed Cinder and Torchwick." Ozpin is a bit shocked at that statement.

"He killed Cinder?"

"Yes sir. He cut her in half." Said Yang.

"Killing Cinder is not an easy task. I'm surprised he did it... Okay. You are dismissed." The girls nod and walk out of the room.


To Team RWY and JNPRS in Team RWBY's room after the explanation

"Oh my god." Said Pyrrha in shock at what happened to me.

"If anyone survived that crash they're gonna die a painful death by my hand." said a pissed off Spyro.

"I still can't believe how he killed Torchwick. That's a brutal way to die." says Jaune holding his mouth.

"Shadow's been through a lot. I feel it's up to us to make him feel like he's not alone. We should help him in any way we can." Ruby said. Everyone agrees and decided to go to bed.


To me and Blake in my room

Blake looks into my eyes to see no emotion what so ever. My left eye is a deep dark blue but looks almost black. She wraps her arms around me. "It's okay Shadow. I'm here for you. No matter what I'm here for you." she says. I don't respond and just close my eyes. She does the same and falls asleep holding me as close as she can. No matter what Shadow. I will never leave you alone in this world.
