I yawned a bit as I made my way. I actually smelled something good.

I sniff the air like a hound. Hey when it comes to food, you got my attention.

I limped my way to where the smell is, while doing so I noticed something. There was...a trail, I don't know how to describe it but it's like a trail yet I can't see it. Yet I know it's there. This is so odd.

I was so entranced by the delicious scent that I hadn't noticed where I was walking.

I heard it through, the wet cracklings popping, the heat of the fire. I was in the kitchen, there wasn't much to it but it is a step up to what I'm used to.

There was a counter made from marble which held some plants, like the small bamboo tree sugar Cain and– is that chocolate?!

Oh dear lord I love chocolate! There it was, next to the plants in a plastic jar. Ohhhh! I want some! But luckily I knew better than to take without asking.

Thank you mom and dad.

I wonder who was cooking though?

I made my way around the counter to look, It was Ghira. He was probably holding the pan and shaking it above the stove, I limped my way to him to see what he was cooking.

He didn't notice me yet. So I took a look. Is that chicken? It looks absolutely delicious!

It was obviously grilled, yet it had a bit of bread crumb on it. Oh my god my stomach dude, hot oil began popping. I love chicken to my heart's content, the delicious white meat. So soft and just mmmmm~!

I have a good quote. It's Chicken ti–! "OW!"

Fuck I forgot how got oil can be! It landed under my eye!

I rubbed under my eye to get that stinging pain away. Then I heard Ghira gasp, I guess I startled him.

"Boy! Do not do that!" He scolded. I would have looked up by eye and was stinging like hell.

"Oh I'm sorry man, It just smells good I got distracted." I started blinking a bit, water was in my eye. I looked at him, a slight glare from him.

I nervously laughed. "Sorry man, I'm really hungry. What are you making?" I asked.

"Breakfast." He said. "Do you want some?"

Oh hell yeah I do! I quickly nodded.

"Okay, then head towards the dining area I'll make some more." I smiled and nodded.

I turned around, and was about to make my way. But...my eyes were glued on the assortment of knives. Each sharp blade with a pointed edge, I don't know why I was staring at them. But...they look tempting, very tempting…

I shook my head. The hell was wrong with me? My emotions are just everywhere at this point. I went back on track towards the dining room, all of a sudden I'm feeling pressure in my head.

This wasn't a good sign at all, it meant I might do something stupid as to cut myself. And honestly...I might do it.

No! Do not think that shit!

It seemed like forever but I finally made it. In front of me was just a grounded table which actually looked bigger up close, and there were pillows on the floor in place of seats.

I sat down on one of the pillows. Wow it's really comfortable.

No one was here yet, so I decided to take out my phone. Still had my awesome wallpaper, which is the Avengers endgame movie poster. Only what made it awesome was that the MCU characters were replaced with Shonen anime characters.

Like Goku is the hulk, All might is captain America, Freiza is thanos. The infinity gauntlet was the same, except the infinity stones were now replaced with the dragon balls all matching the stones.

Why was i Telling you this? Well I like to ramble even if you guys aren't here.

Am I breaking the fourth wall?

Oh well.

So I decided to check discord first, since I readily use that more often. The logo pops up and…

My heart started beating fast and my hands began to tremble, there were so many messages. Some from my friends others from servers I would regularly be in. There were just so many notifications.

I was on 27 servers, the limit on notifications was 99 I'm shocked that my phone didn't crash yet. I went to check these messages… 9/12/21. That's 4 months ahead of April and yet it says these are old messages. How long was I gone?

Every message was the same. The end of the world, I had a weird ability that I can tell emotions through text messages. I think the ability was called apathy? Not sure.

But I can feel this, everyone was panicking, frightened, while other messages were calm and accepting their ends.

One message said. 'Live with your loved ones as long as you can.' And 'see you guys and heaven.'

But most were panicked.

This was just...unsettling…

I went to YouTube, there were so many videos about this. The world ending. Just…What the fuck… I can't handle this!

I shoved my phone back in my pocket roughly. I was breathing hard and I actually began to sweat.

I took in deep breaths again. I felt so...empty...this was another realm of empty, to see the last…Remnants, I guess you can say if my universe.

I felt like puking now…

I heard some footsteps and looked up to see Kali downing her iconic outfit and Blake. She was wearing a white shirt and black pants. Huh.

Kali gave me a warm smile, then frowned at me. "Are you feeling well?" She asked me.

After what I saw on my phone. I'm not sure I'll ever feel better, I just shrugged honestly, I guess she can see my emotions.

"Eh…"

Was all I can say. Before any more questions were asked, Ghira came in with the food, it smelled delicious.

He placed the plates down, Blake got Fish, how cliche. Kali more or less got the same thing, though it was decorated with vegetables and there was sauce. I got chicken and rice. Man this was breakfast?

I like it.

Ghira sat down, he had his own plate of chicken. Except the rice was replaced with– hmmm...I think that's Quinoa. Man this smells delicious.

Ghira turned to me. "Enjoy." I nodded and began to dig into my food.

Ohhhhh… this food was so fucking delicious! I love chicken, now I love it more! Ghira, you have the cooking skills of a god.

I began to scarfe down my food, it was hot and delicious, my taste buds relishing in the texture. My teeth easily slice through both meat and rice, so this is what it's like to be a shark?

This honestly helped distract me from thinking about the death of my universe, I was grateful about it honestly.

And done. Everything was off my plate, I let out a satisfying sigh. I looked up to see the Belladonna family stare at me, stun and surprised looks, while Ghira was a bit disgusted at my table manners.

I rubbed my head and let a nervous chuckle. "Ummm...sorry about that. The food was really delicious and I Uhh lost control."

He huffed a bit. "It's fine, though I can understand that you probably haven't eaten for days."

"Wow…" Blake exclaimed. "He just swallowed the whole thing so quickly." She stared at me with awe. Kinda feel prideful for that.

Kali gave an awkward smile. "W-well at least you seem better."

I do feel a bit better. But a bit can only do so much. "Thanks...Also!" I turned to Ghira.

"You sir are just...wow! This was delicious! Thank you so much for making it." I praised him a bit.

He nodded and gave me a small smile. "Why thank Mr lara."

I mentally winced a bit. My dad would call me Mr lara sometimes, when I do a good job.

"So Angel, about earlier." Kali spoke, she had a look of concern. "Do you want to talk about it?"

Once again I shook my head. "Look I appreciate you trying to help me but, no offense I just met you guys yesterday."

Which is true, sure I have read the wiki a bit. And had seen their introduction in the volume. Which I still find it so god awful, Not Blake's parents but the volume personally and yeah Blake's character in it and the plot. But the thing is, I'm sitting right in front of them, I don't know how they actually act, for all I know. They could be a bunch of psychopaths trying to get my guard low so they can strike.

Though that prospect is probably unlikely.

"And once again thank you for saving me. But…" I sighed a bit. "I need some space and time to process this, then I'll get to know you guys." Kali frowned but I can tell she understood.

I continued. "Though I hope you guys don't mind can I get a tour of your house?" Honestly I am curious about this place, plus it's a good distraction.

Ghira hummed for a bit and nodded. He turned to his daughter. "Blake, do you mind if you show him around?" Blake looked up, she's actually already finished her food.

She nodded and threw me a smile. She got up from the pillow, so did I.

And I began to follow her.

As they watched the duo leave. Kali still frowned knowing she couldn't speak to him, but she can respect that he needed some time before he could speak.

Ghira noticed her frown and placed a hand on her shoulder. To comfort her. "Kali, it's okay."

She sighs. "I know...it's just, despite how well he hides it. He's in so much pain, I just want to help him."

Ghira nodded, completely understanding his wife. "I know, but he already said he needs time, he's lost his family and relatives. Just give him time." He began to stroke his wife's head.

She leaned in and purred in his touch. She was really a good mother even if Angel wasn't her child.

Still there something he had to contemplate. The young boys' mannerisms, despite being crude, were actually mature in a sense. The way he spoke was with clarity and respect, of course it was possible that his deceased parents taught the boy to respect others. But thing is, in the boy's eyes, despite the eternal pain he was in. He seemed older than he truly is.

A young man in a 15 year olds body. Who is Angel Lara?

This place is friggin awesome bro! The library was huge, there were just so many books. I think this is where Blake found Ninjas of love? Not sure, I don't think she's into porn yet.

We went to some rooms, one of them was mostly a plant room. Where there are mostly plants, I kinda like it because I used to take care of my plants.

We went upstairs, there was obviously more than what it seems. We went to her room. "And this is my room!" She had bookshelves, which actually has a moderate amount of books, I don't recognize those stories.

Her bed on the floor though she had black blankets, and...wait a minute. I take a closer look at what I'm looking at. It's a dragon toy, more specifically an Asian dragon toy. It was yellow and had lilac colored eyes.

Odd it kinda reminds me of...Yang! Oh wow that's cool, I wonder in the future they'll get into a relationship. Hopefully that kind of relationship develops properly.

Oh she was still talking. "It was so awesome!" She shouted.

"Sweet!" Had no idea what she was talking about.

Again who knew Blake was more...not mellow but more colorful. Her personality was more colorful, but I guess that means she hasn't joined the white fang due to her age.

Hopefully I can at least try and change her mind. We exited the room and went back down stairs, she wanted to show me the last room.

While we were going to it. She asked me a question. "So what do you think about the White fang? Aren't they awesome?!" She asked with glee.

As soon as I say White fang she asks me about them. I could just say they are a bunch of zealot assholes who speak bull about equality even though they've probably killed innocent people who probably didn't have any problem with faunus in the first place. It's because of them that most of half of the humans despise faunus.

I should have said that, but the thing is. I wasn't sure how they are in this universe. My presence alone probably changed something and I don't know what it is. But I did give a vague answer.

"I don't know."

She stopped and turned to me with a raised eyebrow. She looked slightly insulted. "You don't know?"

I shrugged my shoulders. "Yeah, I don't really know anything about the white fang." Lie.

"Everyone knows the white fang!"

"I don't."

She just kept giving a befuddled look like I was joking. I mean come Blake why would assume, even though I already know.

"Okay then." We continued towards our destination. "Well the white fang are an Amazing groups of Faunus who fights for faunus rights and against slavery!" She said it proudly. "In fact my dad was the founding member!"

Already knew that. "Really now?"

"Yeah, well used to. He gave up to take care of me, and let aunty Sianna take over."

Aunty Sianna. Interesting, honestly I don't blame her for the problems caused, I blame the red headed asshole Adam.

"That's actually cool." I said.

God this seems to take forever, but finally god we made it. She opened the door and...wow!

They have their own personal Gym! We went in, I was more excited honestly, there was weight racks, a pull a bar, punching bags and– is that fucking Boxing ring?!

I went towards it, it was a classic square boxing with the rope and all sides. This is so awesome!

"And this is my dad's gym."

I fucking knew it.

"This is so cool." I went towards the punching bag, some of them looked scuffed up with some holes. I want to try it.

"Can I try it?" I asked Blake. She was surprised.

"You want to use the punching bag?" She said.

But I nodded. "Yes."

"What about your leg?"

"I didn't say now, when I feel better." I simply said, Yeah I'm not gonna agitate my leg until I'm better.

Suddenly we heard knocking. Jesus that was loud.

"Oh someone's here! Come on let's see who it is."

"Okay."

And we left.

We saw Kali and Ghira going to the front door. Kali opened the door for us to see…

Oh what the hell! Why! Why were they here?!

It's the White fang. More specifically it's Sianna Khan, with some white Fang grunts next and behind her and...Mother fuck it's Adam, and younger version of him. He was actually shorter.

I felt anger starting to brew in me.

"Oh Sianna. What a surprise." Kali stated with sincere surprise. "We didn't expect you to be here."

The tiger faunus smiled. "I came for a visit, a little time away from work."

I call bull. I knew there was more to that.

"If that were the case, then explain why your subordinates are with you?" Ghira asked, crossing his arms, he looked a bit distrusting. Odd, never knew that side of him.

"I've heard you've adopted a child." She simply said.

I fucking knew it! That woman from yesterday had something to do.

Ghira hummed. "Indeed, just yesterday we took him in. He had no family, so it was generous we took him in after what happened to him."

Still grateful.

"Well then, can I meet h–"

He interrupted her. "Why are you here." Honestly caught me by surprise. "You usually don't visit personally at our home, and even then it is mostly during a festival. So why are you here?" I saw a small frown on her features. Adam didn't react.

"'May we come in." Ghira didn't say anything but nodded.

They came in. Kali left to the kitchen, I'm guessing to prepare tea. Something is probably up, and personally I don't really care.

I turned to speak to Blake and...she had a blush on her face. She was looking at Adam. What a simp honestly.

Oh great Sianna spotted me. Okay I won't lie she looks sexy as hell, she wasn't wearing her Royal outfit as I call it, instead she was wearing her flashback clothing. Honestly, seeing her with my own eyes the show dose not give justice to her. She was more curvy actually, her ass was just big.

Yeah I stated I ain't guilty.

But being sexy can only do so much. I looked at her without much expression, she smiled.

Sigh great I need to be polite. "Hello." Yeah hello, how cliche.

"Hello, so you're the one Ghira adopted." She smiles at me. I can tell from the movement of her eyes, scanning me. I didn't have any other features yet other than my horns and eyes. "You must be incredibly lucky to have been adopted by them."

I hummed and nodded. "Yeah honestly, without them. I'd be dead."

Without saying a word I turned around and began to make my way, I honestly don't want to be anywhere near them. I don't give a shit if that was rude, I want to be alone in my room now.

-

Sianna watched the boy limo away on his crutches. He was strange honestly, she had never seen something like him before. The curved back horns and the different colored eyes, she's known many faunus, but not his species.

But she was surprised honestly, not from his abrupt rudeness but the look that he gave her. She would have just topped off as him being curious about his sexuality. That did seem the case at first when he caught his eye staring at her rear, she found that a bit adorable. But then saw more.

Despite him keeping his face blank, his eyes showed more emotion including his body language. He was uncomfortable, Angry and disgusted. It was unnerving to see that in a 15 year old. It just didn't belong to one so young.

But why he had that look at not just her but at the rest of the White Fang was a mystery.

The tiger Faunus watched as her niece was talking to Adam, swooning over him. It's an adorable sight to behold.

She wanted to know why that boy was angry but perhaps it wasn't the time to do so yet. She had an urgent meeting with Ghira.

-

I grumbled a bit as I closed the door behind me. My good mood soured.

I sat in bed. I didn't want to do anything now, now that the white fang are here.

I laid back and stared at the ceiling.

Great, I'm depressed again. Sigh, guess I'll watch something YouTube.

Gonna avoid those...videos.

It was Night again, most of my time was spent on watching YouTube videos and some marvel movies.

Kali came in asking if everything was alright. I told her yes, she wanted to offer me dinner. I declined saying I wasn't hungry, god I hate seeing her frown.

I'll get to know her tomorrow.

The white fang had already left, and the Belladonnas were probably in bed. I decided to get out of bed to get a drink, I swear those knives are talking to me.

But then I felt something. This odd feeling…

I started limping out of the kitchen and to the front door, I opened it. I can hear the wind breazing, the sky was dark, yet clear. The stars were actually brighter, much brighter and there were so many of them, perhaps this was due to the fact that there were no carbon emissions polluting the air.

I like that. But I wasn't here to Star gaze. Instead I gazed out, ahead. Some Faunus were out and about, light poles were blaring brightly, and I could hear the sounds of the ocean waves. This was honestly relaxing but I didn't feel relaxed, instead I felt...unnerved. Like something was trying to get my attention.

Why do I feel this?

"Why are you outside?" I jumped a bit. I turned to see Ghira who was by the door, staring down at me with a questioning look.

I didn't say anything yet and turned my gaze back at the sea. "Mmm…" I turned and walked back inside and replied. "I thought I heard something."

Is this what a foreboding feeling feels like?

Miles away from Menagerie, there was a prison island. It was basically Rememants version of Alcatraz, though it was worse then the island at San Francisco.

The island was called Serpent's rock. For the island almost resembles the a serpent.

Giant waves crash violently against the sharp rocks. Light flashing, crashing constantly. The rain never seems to stop, but like Alcatraz it is a prison filled with the worst of the worst Criminals, Murders, rapists and down right just the worst beings.

Atlas guards constant vigil on keeping the prisoners in line, be it human or faunus. It's sad honestly, that the only place equality was prison. Because in prison, humans or Faunus you'll be treated the same way.

Today however was...unnatural. Almost every day there would be commotions, shouting fights, on rare occasions prison raids. Today however was different, almost every prisoner was quiet.

Too quite, they hid in the shadows of the cold cell, back against the cold stone walls. As if they were cornered by a predator or Grimm, fear is what attracts the Grimm.

The giant sea serpent Grimm, the Feilongs would definitely be attracted, and would slither their way towards the island.

The guards and the Atlas soldiers. Having no idea why. What can cause prisoners who have done the extreme terrible deeds fear.

The answer?

Was another part of the island, isolated away from the rest of the prison, yet was kept a constant vigil. Guards were stationed 24/7, cameras where continued to stay vigil, pressure sensor continued to be active, and of something where to set it off. Alarms would blare and would alert the soldiers to this place.

This part was heavily guarded for a reason. Inside was a man, barely even 5.6 feet in height, he wore a blue prison outfit. He sat on the bed staring at the wall, until he stood up. Walking towards the wall, he lifts his right arm, what should have been a hand was replaced with a hook that had a cruel curved point.

The hand was amputated with good reason. But he wasn't the one that did it, and never wanted it to be amputated in the first place. But it wasn't a choice unfortunately.

Placing the hook on the stone wall, the man pushed the metal in the concrete. The forcefully moved the metal through, there was a bit of an ear piercing scrape. As bits of stone were forced to move, he was drawing something.

With a hum he stopped and pulled back. On the wall, he drew the number 4. The man's eyes were shadowed yet there was a red tint, he turned a bit to reveal that half his face, or at least the left side of his cheek was gone. In place was a clear plastic covering that revealed his cheek muscles and teeth. The muscles twitched as he smiled, a malicious predatory smile.

He had begun to monologue to himself. "4 years, I must wait, then I'll take my leave." The man strolled back to his bed and sat, staring at the number, he had titles. Yet no one knew his name, so they gave him one. The nameless killer. It was said that monsters had many forms, he is a true human monster.

A content mirthful chuckle escaped his throat, a sickly purple glow appeared on him faded away. He said one last thing before he would completely be silent for a long time.

"4 years till synchronicity."

Wow bro, something big is about to happen in 4 years. I'm in deep shit lmao.

So let me explain a bit. I know it seemed strange that my emotions kinda seem everywhere in this chapter. And you are right with that. The thing is, I'm more or less using myself in a story. Because honestly this is kinda how I would react, I would honestly hide my emotions sometimes. Yes I did stare at Sianna khans ass, who wouldn't?

Also yes I do have something big for this story and it will be surprising. All I'm gonna say about our mystery character.

Question time from our reader Guest-questioner. Love the name by the way.

Yup I did admit that! And there will be tropes coming along the way!

Relationships? Unsure really, because 'I'm' in the story I wouldn't really be thinking about relationships yet. Harems I'm unsure really, I don't think I'm good with them. But nothing is really set in stone, and I might have them. If I do get one, it would be more aged appropriate women.

(Ones with big booties, like Kalis) Ghiras a lucky man lmao. An yes I'm crude.

Also thanks for the info, I also love Mandolorian

Thanks bro I will need the good luck!

See ya soon.
