Chapter 1: Welcome to Remnant
In the mountains of Washington DC, was the prison known as Curdan Cay and it was somewhat in ruins. The front door was blasted to pieces. A few civilians and army personnel we're at the gates entrance. The civilians we're greeting their love ones that we're taken from them by the DUP or by their full title "Department of United Protection". The DUP and Curdan Cay we're formed for one reason, to fight and detain conduits. Conduits we're people with special powers, powers like being able to control electricity, fire, earth, water, wind, light, shadows, gravity, and more. Conduits started to appear around the time of the Empire City event, when a monster called "The Beast", a conduit of immense power appeared. The Beast rampaged across the east coast, heading towards a city called New Marais. It was there that The Beast was defeated by a guy named Cole MaGrath. Helping him was another Beast, but unlike the first one, this one was good and blue. The first Beast was a lava red with dark rocks covering it. The second Beast was the same style, except it's lava was a dark blue colour. The second Beast was a teenager by the name Shyam Phoenix, the main character of this story and along with his future friends.
"What's going on Delsin!? Where are you!?" Said Shyam into his phone.
Shyam was a seventeen year old teenage boy, around 6"9'. He had tanned skin with some scars on his torso and both his arms, said scars match up to his Beast form. He had crimson coloured hair with blue highlights, which we're natural mind you. Before he got the Beast's powers, he had a scar on his left cheek from a stray bullet and his eyes we're dark blue with some crimson around the pupils. However, after he leeched off some of the Beast's powers, his cheek scar disappeared and his eye colours inverted. For clothes, he wore loose pants for parkour, a dark blue short sleeve shirt with a bird symbol, red fingerless gloves, black runners, and a half blue half red vest. He was a leacher conduit like his friend Delsin Rowe, a guy of First Nation decent. His first power was gravity, then Fire in Empire City. Then the Beast's powers when it first appeared and nearly killed him, but teleported him all the way to New Marais, while also putting him into a comatose state for about a week and a half. He got his light powers after a few months on the run.
"I'm in the control room Couch. So... Uh? Eugene, what button to I press to unlock the cells full of people?" Asked Delsin.
"Press the red button." Said Eugene.
"Okay, one problem, there all red." Said Delsin.
"Then press all of them!" Said Shyam in a ordering tone of voice.
"Geez, ok ok! Man, what is up with you Shyam. You seem more, what's the word I'm looking for here?" Said Delsin.
"I think the word your looking for is fixated. Yo Couch, what has you more fixated?" Asked Fetch, a young woman with the power of Neon.
"I just can't wait to see her. It's been a year since we have been separated, she has to be scared. I made her a promise." Said Shyam
"Over there! It's the Second Beast!" Said a DUP pawn.
Shyam blasts the pawn away, along with the pawn's group. They all slam into the far wall with a simple gravity pulse charge shot. Shyam runs down the hallway some more and comes across a row of cell blocks. The cells then open, and the people inside take a tentative look outside of their cells.
"What are you waiting for, your free, get out of here!" Said Shyam.
The people all look at each other and make a mad dash towards the exit to be with their families and love ones or maybe head to New Marais for sanctuary. Shyam sees some of the adults pick up some kids that we're also being held in Curdan Cay. Shyam doesn't however see a head of black hair with silver eyes. The people then start to scream when some DUP Knights come into the hallway and start to shot them. Shyam switches to his Beast powers and sends a wave of energy into the ground and transmutes the floor to form a wall to block off the DUP. Shyam then absorbs the light and dashes back the way he came.
"Yo D, anyone else in the prison or in the other areas?" Asked Shyam.
"There's something going on in the training area, there's more people in the north wing, some kid is in the east science wing and some people are being held in the west science wing. Your heading to the east science wing towards the kid. And who would be the lucky person our titan friend is so excited to see." Said Delsin.
"She's my adoptive daughter D. Any father would be worried sick if they haven't seen their kid in a year." Said Shyam.
Ellen Delaney was a six year old girl that had traveled with Shyam for about three years. Last year, she was captured when they we're corned in a shopping mall in Texas. Shyam was willing to let himself be captured, but he didn't know little Ellen could use her shadow conduit abilities to move others away, like teleportation. When Ellen was being dragged away, Shyam had telepathic told her, he would come back for her. Then this lead Shyam to Seattle and he met Delsin, a fellow leacher conduit and his Brother Reggie.
"She's your what!?" Said Fetch and Delsin at the same time, both in shock.
"Aw, look at that, the two are in sync. Don't they make a cute couple." Said a teasing Shyam.
"Shut the f**k up Shyam." Said Fetch.
"What she said." Said Delsin.
This caused Shyam to smirk as he rounds a corner to another hallway. Shyam runs down the hallway some more. He blasts open a closing door with his gravity vortex heavy shot. Some pawns and knights get in his way, but he easily deals with them. A rook does show up, but he was just sent flying into and through a wall. Shyam then thinks back to the time he meet Ellen.
Flashback to three years ago
Shyam is walking in a city in Florida. He sees some DUP checkpoints set up here and there, but not that many. Seems like the DUP had made this city conduit free, well almost conduit free. Shyam had a light coat with a hood on to hide his face. A pair of sunglasses we're on his face and a baseball cap was on his head. A DUP truck drives by and Shyam tenses up, but he relaxes when it passes him. He hears a struggle in a alleyway near him.
"Where's your rent man? You haven't payed in about a week. You holding out on us?" Said a voice.
"No! I need the money to pay for my daughters medication! She's sick!" Came a scared voice.
Shyam pops his head around the corner and sees a gang of ten people surrounding a man. The man was about maybe twenty five. The man had light brown skin and a shaved head. A small amount of blood could be seen on his cheek, probably from a blade of some kind.
"Like I care about your kid, she can die for all I care, as long as it gets me my money." Said the leader, with black light blade forming on his left arm.
"He's a conduit!" Thinks Shyam in shock.
Time slows down and the area goes grey in Shyam's vision.
"I could just leave and get the cops and maybe the Dups. They deal with the conduit and I get some cash for my travels (Evil Karma). But, this man needs his money for his daughter and the gang leader would kill him by the time the cops get here. They might even go after his family. I have to stop them (Good Karma)." Thinks Shyam.
Shyam gives a tired sigh and he sees his body glow a faint dark blue and he walks into the alleyway. As he passes the group, one thug grabs his shoulder.
"What's a snot nose brat like you doing here?" Asked the thug that grabbed Shyam's shoulder.
"I'm just passing through, don't mind me." Said Shyam.
The leader looks at Shyam.
"Then you got to pay to get through. Hand over any money you got kid or anything of value." Said the leader, while also having the light blade near Shyam's face.
The group of thugs thought that the Shyam would break down in tears and beg them to let him go, but they didn't get any reaction from Shyam. Shyam just looks at the leader and his blade.
"Your a conduit. I head that the DUP hand out some cash for anyone that calls in a conduit and they hand over the conduit without any problems. I think it was about one hundred bucks per conduit. One thousand for a leader conduit of his or her gang." Said Shyam.
The others look at each other. One thousand bucks just for one person. They all then look at their leader. Along with him, there was two others in their gang, both we're his right hand men. They all get out their guns and knives.
"What the f**k are you idiots doing!? I'm the one in charge here! Unless you want you families to find your corpse on their front door, then just try to take me on!" Said the leader.
The others rush the leader and begin to fight him, which they we're losing. The man flinched when Shyam tapped his shoulder. Shyam points to a dumpster and he has the man hide behind it. Shyam then absorbs the gravity around him. He then whistles very loud to get the others attention.
"HEY!" Yelled Shyam.
"WHAT!?" Yelled the gang members and their former leader.
"There's an even bigger reward for one conduit in particular." Said Shyam.
"How big?" Asked one gang member who held his gun gangster style.
"One million for one guy. The Second Beast as the DUP and the government calls him." Said Shyam, which was true.
A bounty was placed on his head for anyone that finds him and gets him caught by the DUP. If he escapes, they get half of the reward. Shyam has never been caught. Anyone that does notice him, they just don't call, due to what he is. Shyam sees the gang freeze in shock.
"Your kidding right?" Asked the leader.
"Nope, here's the guy's picture." Said Shyam as he pulls his hood down and places his sunglasses on his head.
The gang get a good look at the wanted picture. They look at the picture and then at Shyam, which repeats for about a minute.
"WHAT THE..." Yelled the gang members, but they we're thrown into the alleyway's walls by a invisible force.
The non-conduit gang members we're knocked out. The leader was semi conscious when Shyam approached him. The leader goes to grab Shyam, but Shyam grabs the leaders hand and something happens. Light goes from the gang leader into Shyam. The leader goes unconscious and Shyam stumbles a little bit and gets his bearings.
"Thought I was over this, guess not." Said Shyam.
He then uses his beast powers to develop his new light power, but not fully develop, just to the point where Shyam can reabsorb his other elements. Shyam then looks at the dumpster.
"You can come out now. Their subdued." Said Shyam.
The man comes out, but somewhat afraid. Shyam walks up to the man. Shyam then has his light heal the man's wound. The man doesn't say anything, he just stares at Shyam.
"Could you not stare, it's creepy." Said Shyam as he goes through the downed gang members pockets.
"Your him. The Second Beast! I though it wasn't true! How is it possible! You nothing like the DUP or the government described." Said the man.
"I'll take that as a compliment. Ah ha! New phone baby! Come to papa!" Said Shyam, with a small dark crimson glow coming off him.
"What are you doing?" Asked the man.
"Uh, looting, got to get food in my stomach some how. You think money grows on trees." Said Shyam.
"I wish it did." Said the man.
"So tell me Josh, why do you have to give money to these low life's here?" Asked Shyam.
"How did you know my name!?" Said a shocked Josh.
"I can read minds bub, took sometime to master my telepathy and develop it more." Said Shyam in Josh's head.
"My family lives by their territory, which it also on another gangs territory. The two fight over who gets my street for themselves. That was two weeks ago. These guys won and my street belongs to them, along with rent they make us pay them." Said Josh.
"But you need that money for your daughter Ellen. For her medical treatment." Said Shyam as he takes one members credit card and reads his mind for the code.
"Yes. She's very ill. The doctor has the treatment needed for her, but me and my wife can't afford it. The gang took too much money. We have until next week to pay or our daughter gets some cheap pills that may not work. We begged the doctors to give us an extension, but that was all they could give us. We're desperate now." Said Josh.
"Fallow me. I have a answer for your problems." Said Shyam.
The two find a atm and Shyam uses one of the gang members credit cards. He takes out about three hundred dollars for Josh. Shyam holds the money in his hand.
"This enough for your daughter?" Said Shyam.
"Yes! More then enough! Thank you!" Said Josh.
"Good, now don't rat me out to the DUP or I will find you and we will have a little chat." Said Shyam.
"Deal!" Said Josh.
The two then notice a DUP truck pass them with a trailer attached to it. Shyam felt the pull of blast shards in the trailer. The truck then drives off, heading south. Josh also noticed the truck pass them.
"More of those trailers. I think that one is heading for the abandon movie theatre just south of here." Said Josh.
"You sure?" Asked Shyam.
"Yes, they place those trailers in random locations, but none in the view of civilians. Some are even designed to look like other things, but that's all the gossip going around these days. Now if you excuse me, I have to call my- oh he's gone already... Good." Said Josh.
Josh then gets out his cellphone and calls the DUP hotline.
Later that night at the movie theatre
Shyam sneaks into the theatre. Just as Josh said, the trailer was there. Shyam doesn't absorb the blast shards in the trailer, he just makes sure no one could open it without the shards exploding. He goes over to the trailer, but a sniper laser is seen moving around the area and it lands on Shyam's chest.
"F**k." Said Shyam.
The lights then come on and gun cocking is heard around the room. A good two dozen DUP troops are there. Ten super pawns and two super rooks. One regular rook is by the door. Five Knights are around the room and six bishops are by the trailer.
"Hands up Beast!" Said one super pawn.
"If you say so." Said Shyam as he holds a flash bang grenade in each hand.
He throws them up into the air and more around the room. Multiple flashes of bright dark blue light explodes and blinds the DUP troops. One of the super rooks fires off its long range attack and hit three of the super pawns.
"Watch it!" Yelled the downed pawns.
Shyam takes the opening to get out of the theatre and heads towards the hospital to see a old friend. The troops get their vision back and they report that Shyam is gone.
At the hospital
Josh and his wife Michelle are heading to their three year old daughter's room. They had just paid for the medication needed for their daughter. The medication came in two forms, pill or a syrup like medication. They see a nurse come out of the room. The two then head into the room. It was a two person room, but no other person was in the room, so their daughter got the room to herself. Their daughter had black hair, rare silver eyes, and cream coloured skin. Right now, she was asleep. Josh gets a phone call.
"Yes? Who is it?" Asked Josh.
Michelle looks at her husband and raises a eyebrow.
"Oh, ok. That's fine. Thanks for calling me." Said Josh.
"And who was that?" Asked Michelle.
"The DUP, they didn't catch the Second Beast, so we don't get the full reward." Said Josh.
"And why did they call you and how did you know about the Second Beast?" Asked Michelle.
"He saved me from the gang leader that was demanding we pay rent. It's just... The kid wasn't like the DUP had described him. He looked about maybe fourteen years old. He did have the dark crimson eyes with blue around the pupils, but his eyes had no hatred in them." Said Josh.
"You we're saved by the Second Beast!" Said Michelle in low voice.
"Yes I was." Said Josh.
A nurse comes in and cheeks on Ellen. Once she was done, she leaves her clip board on the side table. She then exits the room and closes the door.
"Aren't they supposed to leave the door open?" Said Michelle in confusion.
Josh would have answered, if the curtain hadn't started to move. The curtain moves away to reveal the other bed that was in the room. There on the bed, was Shyam and he had his eyes set on Josh. Josh promptly gasped at the sight of Shyam. Josh gets his wife behind him.
"I though I told you not to rat me out to the DUP. Now most people would forgo the reward and listen to me. But there are some that take matters into their own hands and they end up with a black eye. You Josh, just happen to be one of those people." Said Shyam.
"Josh? Who is that?" Said Michelle in a scared voice.
"The Second Beast, in the flesh Michelle. I was here way before you two showed up. They never noticed me due to me turning invisible." Said Shyam.
"If your here for me, fine, just leave my wife and daughter out of it." Said Josh.
Shyam shakes his head. He then points to the clip board.
"Read what's on the medical sheet." Said Shyam.
Michelle takes the board. She reads through the sheet and sees everything was fine, until she reads the next sheet. Michele gasped at what was on the next page.
"Michelle!? What is it!?" Said a worried Josh.
"No no no no no no. This can't be happening. This can't be happening!" Said Michelle.
"What can't be happening!? Michelle! Tell me what's wrong!" Said Josh, now officially worried.
"She's one of them." Said Michelle.
Josh's world comes crashing down. His only child, was a Bio-Terrorist. His pride and joy, one of the things that people fear the most. Now Josh has to make a decision, ether let his baby girl be taken by the DUP or go on the run with his family to keep her safe. Shyam gets up and stands beside Ellen.
"So what are you going to do Josh? Are you going to throw away your daughter just because she's a conduit? Or are you going to take a chance and try to make your way to New Marais?" Said Shyam.
"We can't take the risk. Maybe the DUP can cure her?" Said Michelle.
Shyam then teleports beside the two and puts his hands on their foreheads.
"I'll show you what would happen if you did that." Said Shyam.
Josh and Michelle get images of what the DUP do to conduits. The experiments, the conditions, the training to kill, the mistreatment for some of the people, and the children dragged away kicking and screaming. Michelle promptly falls to her knees and cries. Josh leans on the wall. They couldn't do that to their daughter.
"Maybe..." Said Michelle, but Shyam.
"Maybe what? Do you think the DUP will just up and make things better for Ellen just because she's a kid. Then your wrong. So, are you going to throw away your daughters trust by forcing her to go somewhere that won't treat her right and you'll never see her again. Or option two, you let me take her to New Marais, I'm already heading there." Said Shyam.
This shocked Josh and Michelle. The kid that Josh betrayed, was offering them a chance for their daughter to be raised safely.
"How can we trust you? I betrayed you." Said Josh.
"Yes you did, but you better decide, because some DUP troops are coming up the elevator as we speak." Said Shyam.
"What!" Said Josh and Michelle in shock.
"Yeah, I've been reading minds every so often when I got here and when you two we're talking. Better decide now." Said Shyam.
The two parents look at each other. This was their only shot at keeping their daughter safe and sound, even if she was going to be hunted down.
"Can we have your word that you will take care of our little girl." Said Josh.
"You have my word. Now then." Said Shyam.
Shyam's eyes glow a fire dark blue colour and some energy goes off of his hands. The energy then goes into Ellen and she gasps awake. The little girl's eyes flutter open.
"Mommy? Daddy?" Said Ellen in confusion.
The two parents hug their daughter, possible for the last time. They quickly tell Ellen what is happening in the short form. Ellen was scared that she was going with the Beast. Shyam reads Josh's mind to see where the two live, so he could teleport there to get more clothes for Ellen.
"But I don't want to go!" Said a scared Ellen.
"Ellen sweetie, you have to go. The DUP aren't the good guys here. They will experiment on you. Your father and I don't like this as much ether, but we're doing it because we love you. So please understand what we're doing is out of love, not hate." Said Michelle.
"Will you come with us?" Asked a teary eyed Ellen.
"It pains us to say this, but no, we can't. Be we will try and meet you in New Marais, if the DUP don't try anything with us. Now go!" Said Josh.
Ellen gives her parents one last hug. Shyam then scoops up Ellen and teleports to her home. The two then leave town.
Back to the present
Shyam reaches the east science wing. He sees multiple doors to the testing rooms. He doesn't have time to bust down each door. So he calls Delsin and asked him which room it was.
"Yo D! What room is the kid in?" Said Shyam.
"You know I can't do all this and help you at the same time you know! But the kid is in room seven zero seven. Better hurry, some the scientists are starting something and it doesn't look good." Said Delsin.
Shyam says a quick thank you and dashes towards the room. Once there, he taps into his Beast powers and his eyes glow. Energy collect around his foot and he kicks the door in. The door flies off its hinges and hits a scientist. Shyam stomps into the room and freezes. There on the table, was Ellen Delaney, his adoptive daughter. Wires we're in her arms, bandages we're also on her arms as well as her legs. She looked conscious and had tear streaks on her cheeks. She had on a orange pair of prison pants and a matching short sleeve shirt. In her mouth, was a gag. The scientists in the room freeze at the sight of Shyam.
"Boo." Said Shyam.
The scientists all run for the back door. One tried to shoot Shyam, but he was thrown into the wall by Shyam teleporting beside him and throwing him into the wall. Shyam then heads over to Ellen. She was strapped down to the table, Shyam could also see some more cut marks that we're healing, bit would still scar. Shyam sees that Ellen was unconscious, probably from some kind of drug. Shyam heals Ellen and shakes her awake. He made sure to boost her healing factor to burn out the drug.
"Ellen! Come on white shadow. Wake up!" Said Shyam.
Ellen's eyes slowly open. She noticed that she wasn't gagged or tied down to the table. She also feels like she was being held in someone's arms. Her vision then refocuses and she sees Shyam smiling. New tears of joy start to form.
"Dad?" Said Ellen in a small voice.
"Hey there shrimp. I told you I would come back for you." Said Shyam.
Ellen gives her adoptive father a big hug and cries into his chest. It was him, it was Shyam, it wasn't a dream. Ellen feels Shyam stroke her head and rock back and forth to calm her down.
"It's alright I'm here." Said Shyam.
Shyam then picks up Ellen and carries her out of the room. Shyam then walks some more down the hallway and stops. He then blasts open the wall for the sunlight to pour in. Ellen then begins to absorb the light and gains some of her energy back, just enough to walk or run. Ellen then runs down the hallway with her stepfather. The two we're heading to the training area.
"Yo D, what does it look like in the training room?" Asked Shyam
"It doesn't look good Couch. Some kind of device is in the centre of the room and it's powering up. Let me take a look at the videoooooooo. Oh my god. Shyam get to the training room!" Said Delsin in a panicked tone.
"What!? Why?!" Said Shyam
"Because the DUP, somehow made a blackhole device and its powering up! So move your a**!" Said Delsin.
Shyam then does a full on sprint down the hallway. Ellen, who had heard some bits and pieces, runs after her stepfather, too try and help him.
"Never again. We will never be separated. He promised he would take me to New Marais." Thinks Ellen.
At the training room
Shyam just knocked the door down and he freezes. A strange device was in the centre of the room. Around the device, we're more people. Each had prison uniforms on and they looked scared. Shyam runs towards the device and takes a look at the monitors. All of the monitoring screens and gauges had a different reading, but Shyam somehow knew they we're all bad. He then starts to get the people free. He then noticed a shadow move upwards and form Ellen.
"ELLEN!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!? GET OUT OF HERE!" Yelled Shyam.
"No! You promised we would go to New Marais together! I'm not leaving you again!" Said Ellen.
"She's so grounded if we survive this." Thinks Shyam.
"Fine! Get these people free, while I deal with the device!" Ordered Shyam.
"Ok!" Replied Ellen.
Shyam then heads over to the control panel. Ellen forms a small shadow knife to cut the bonds that are holding the people. Delsin calls them every once and away.
"How's it looking Shyam. Things about to go off." Said Delsin.
"I'm trying here. Eugene has been telling me anything that could turn this thing off. I'm trying me hardest here. Oh no. Everybody out! Delsin, sound the evacuation alarm and open all the cells. The things about to go off!" Said Shyam.
On the top of the device, a black sphere forms. A pitch black sphere that draws in anything towards it. A wind picks up and pulls in anything that was small. Shyam and Ellen teleport people towards the door. They head back up to the device to make sure no one else was up there.
"That's everyone! Let's go!" Said Shyam.
"Ok!" Said Ellen.
Shyam grabs Ellen and tries to teleport. But he slams into the door that had just closed. Shyam tries again, same result. Now officially panicked, Shyam calls Eugene, to see if he knew what's wrong.
"Eugene! I can't teleport out of the room! The door is closed!" Said Shyam.
"Oh no, Shyam the DUP made tech that stops conduits from teleporting out of here! There has to be panel or something that is powering the device! Find it and destroy it!" Said Eugene.
Shyam and Ellen stay close to each other, so they didn't get pulled into the blackhole, which was growing in strength. Ellen falls down to the lower level due to the floor giving way.
"ELLEN!" Yelled Shyam in worry.
"I'm.." Said Ellen, but she stopped.
A large piece of the level she was on was falling towards her. She covers up and waits for the inevitable end. But she hears something.
'THOOM!'
'CRASH!'
Ellen looks up and sees a giant hand had caught the piece of rubble. It was connected to a giant being made up of blue magma, with dark rocks covering the lava. It's eyes had a fiery glow coming from them. It didn't have any gender specific organs on it, due to it being naked, but it had a male appearance. Outside, the sky had become dark blue and more white clouds had formed. Dark blue embers rain down from the sky.
"Are you ok Ellen?" Said Shyam through telepathy.
Ellen just nods her head. She had heard of stories about the Beast. But she has never seen Shyam take this form. Shyam cups his left hand and has Ellen stand in it. He then stands up to his full high. Shyam could alter his Beast form's size. Shyam sees energy arc all over the place. He puts his other hand over Ellen to try and shield her, but he knew the blackhole would kill them. The blackhole would then expand and devour the world with everyone in it. Shyam looks at the blackhole.
"As you said Ellen, we're in this together. I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise to you." Said Shyam.
Ellen begins to tear up.
"You don't have to be sorry. As long as I got to see you one last time, then it's ok. I love you dad." Said Ellen, with tears running down her cheeks.
A smile forms on Shyam's face. He then makes a fist, with Ellen in it to keep her close to him. He then opens his other hand up and makes his own blackhole. He slowly makes his way towards the other blackhole. Once with in reach, Shyam shoves his blackhole and some of his energy into the devise's blackhole. A blinding flash of white light happens and then a pilar of dark blue energy shoots through the ceiling.
Outside of Curdun Cay, by the gates
Everyone sees the sky change. They all then see the prison shake and more people come running out. Delsin is caring a wounded Fetch bridal style, much to her embarrassment. Eugene flies over and turns back to normal. He then makes more angles to grab any other people that had started to flout upwards. Then after a few gruelling minutes, they all see a pillar of dark blue energy shoot out of the prison. Once the pillar was high enough, it released a pulse of energy. They all feel the energy go over them, even some of the snow was evaporating a bit. They all didn't know about the blackhole device, except for Delsin, Fetch, Eugene, and the ones in the room when it was powering up. Delsin hangs his head down in respect for his friend, with Fetch giving him a hug. Eugene makes some angles and has them do a salute. But none of them knew that Shyam and Ellen weren't dead, in fact, they we're teleported to a very distant plant of bloody evolution.
On Remnant, Mantle
Shyam slowly opens his eyes. Ellen was on top of his chest, being held by his left arm. He slowly sits up and looks around. They we're somewhere in a different city. Ellen stirs and opens her eyes.
"Where are we?" Asked Ellen.
"I don't know. Stay close." Said Shyam as the two begin to walk down the alleyway.
As they walk, they notice it was nighttime. Which means they we're transported halfway around the world, because when they attacked Curdun Cay, it was around eleven thirty. Shyam looks up and gasps at two things. One was the flouting city up in the sky. And two was the shattered moon.
"My god. I don't think we're on earth anymore." Said Shyam.
Ellen had also looked up and saw what Shyam saw. Ellen clings to Shyam's waist for comfort. The two then hear something.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Came a scream of pain, which sounded female in nature.
"Jacques Schnee sends his regards you filthy animal." Came a male voice.
Shyam and Ellen look around the corner. They see six men standing over a woman. Said woman had long red hair and pale skin. The most noticeable part about the woman, was the pair of horns on top of her head. The woman had a knife wound on her stomach. Two other men had a six year old girl in their grasp. The girl had horns, wings, claws, and some scales on her neck. She had on a light red shirt, a pair of pants that we're white, and brown shoes. She also had tears running down her cheeks.
"MOM! PLEASE STOP! WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" Screamed the girl.
"Please... Take me, just... Leave my daughter alone." Pleaded the woman.
"Go to hell you faunus scum. She will pay a good price to those in Vacuo. You on the other hand, will die and no one will care. Maybe you shouldn't have stuck your nose in other people's business." Said one of the men.
"I should just leave and take Ellen with me, not our problem and this 'Jacques' guy sounds like a guy I don't want to be on his bad side (Evil Karma). But, that little girl is about to be sold into slavery and is seeing her mother die in front of her. These 'Faunus' are being treated like conduits, ether feared or hated. Ellen and I can help this girl (Good Karma)." Thinks Shyam
"Ellen, you teleport yourself and the other girl somewhere close. While I deal with the racists." Said Shyam to Ellen through telepathy.
Ellen nods her head and becomes one with the shadows. Shyam sees a black spot move around and over to the other girl. The shadow spot then gets right underneath the girl and expands upwards. The girl with wings let's out a squeak of fear, as she was pulled into the shadow realm, as Ellen described it.
"What the f**k! Where did the kid go!?" Yelled a different man.
"You said no one would care about this woman, well, I care about her. I may not know her, but at lest I can help her and her daughter." Said Shyam, as he absorbs some gravity.
"P**s off kid. You some faunus lover? Walk away or else." Said the leader of the group, who also had a gun out.
Shyam uses his gravity whip and grabs the leader around the waist. Just like Scorpion from Mortal Combat, Shyam yells.
"GET OVER HERE!"
The leader goes flying towards Shyam. Shyam then makes a gravity hammer around his fist and clothes lines the leader. A dark red shimmer comes off the leader. Said dark red shimmer also breaks off the leader.
"Next?" Said Shyam.
The rest charge Shyam with the intent to beat him to a bloody pulp. Shyam dodges a knife strike from one guy, Shyam throws him into the wall. The next guy had a small sword with him, Shyam throws a implode subdued gravity zone grenade at sword guy. A gun shot rings out and Shyam feels a strange bullet hit him. The bullet burned, like it was a incendiary bullet. Shyam just looks at the guy who shot him. Said guy had a shocked look on his face.
"A bullet? Really? I didn't even feel it." Said Shyam.
Shyam does a orbital slingshot gravity shot and sends the gunman flying into the wall. The fifth guy had brass knuckles and slugs Shyam in the face, but Shyam didn't even flinch. Shyam does a palm strike to the guy's stomach, winding him the process and knocking him out.
"What the hell are you?" Said the last guy in fear.
"Just your average citizen helping a damsel in distress. Lights out." Said Shyam.
The last guy was thrown into a dumpster. Shyam then goes around and subdues them all.
"You can come out now. Their not going to hurt you." Said Shyam.
A black mass raises from the shadows. Ellen and the other girl come out of the mass. The girl runs to her mother's side.
"Mom! It's going to be alright! Please! Help her!" Said the winged girl.
"No Russet... It's... Already too late for... Me. You there... What is... Your name?" Asked the woman, who was struggling to talk due to her slowly dying from blood lost.
"Shyam. Shyam Phoenix." Said Shyam.
"And I'm Ellen. Ellen Phoenix." Said Ellen, who was trying to comfort Russet.
"I'm... Rouge... Holy. Take... This." Said Rouge, as she hands Shyam a key.
Shyam takes the key.
"Take this.. To my house. In there... You will find... A laptop. Get it out... Of.. Mantle. There... Should be... Some lien... As... Well. Please... Take... Care... Of my... Little girl." Said Rouge.
"I will. I'll raise her if she was my own. Anything else I should know." Said Shyam.
"Russet... Mama... Always loves... You. Never.. Forget that. Take... My... Pendent... So you... Always... Have... A piece of.. Me." Said Rouge.
Rouge weakly takes off a pendent, which looked liked a dragon roaring and it was red. Shyam helps her put the pendent around Russet's neck.
"No! You can't die! I can't loose you! Your all I have left!" Screamed a crying Russet.
"Down here! I think the scream came from here!" Came a woman's voice from down the alleyway.
"We have to go. Russet, I know this is hard, but Ellen and I have been in your position before, we can help you. Come on." Said Shyam.
Russet takes one last look at her mother. Rouge smiles me last time and closes her eyes.
"Thank... You." Said Rouge.
Russet cries some more. Shyam reads Russet's mind, so he could teleport to her home. Shyam scopes up Russet and grabs Ellen. In mere moments, the three teleport away to the home of Russet Holly. The police and huntsmen appear and they see the men that Jacques had sent, pinned to the ground and the body of Rouge. They call in the detectives.
At Russet's home
The home of Russet was a two person apartment. Shyam had warped into the living room area. Russet looked ready to throw up.
"You get use to it." Said Shyam.
"Why?" Said Russet.
"Why what?" Asked Ellen.
Russet broke down in tears and fell to her knees.
"Why did Mom have to die! We did nothing wrong!" Screamed Russet, as she cried some more.
Russet cried her eyes out. She was now alone. Her father worked in the dust mines, while her mother was journalist for the newspaper. About two years ago, there was an accident in the mine. Her father died saving some of the other workers. After that, her mother did some interviews of the dust mines owner, Jacques Schnee, without much success. Jacques hated non-humans. Each one of his mines was a prison for faunus. Russet would see her father come home exhausted. Her mother was usually the one to help provide the money, but her father did bring in as much money as he could. Russet then feels someone hug her and rub her hair.
"I know what's it like to loose someone you love. I lost my parents in a explosion. My stepfather gave his life to protect the town we lived in. Ellen's parents had her go with me to keep her safe. Come with us. I promised your mother I would look after you. Get what ever you need, be it clothes, toiletries, pictures, etc. Ellen help her out and maybe find some new clothes." Said Shyam.
"Ok dad." Said Ellen.
Shyam watches the two six year olds head to Russet's room. Shyam heads to the other room. Once inside the room, he begins to search for the laptop and maybe a small safe full of money. Shyam does fine a laptop bag, with the laptop in it. It takes him awhile to figure out how it opens. He then looks in the bag to see if there was a piece of paper with the login code, he does fine it thou. He opens the laptop and finds some files, which he takes a brief look at. The things inside make Shyam's eyes glow in rage. The mines not open to the public, where death traps for any unfortunate faunus. Some families we're forced to do more work for less, if they ever wanted to see their children again. Some had children in them with shock collars and what looked like explosives on them. The other files have some other info on this Jacques Schnee, but not a picture of him. Jacques had one elder daughter that works for the military, another younger daughter, and a only son of the three kids. Ellen then comes into the room.
"Find the safe?" Asked Ellen.
"No not yet. I looked everywhere in here. The closet, dresser, under the bed, nothing." Said Shyam.
Ellen looks at the bed. It was a two person bed. The frame was big and had walls on the side. The mattress was also the same size, but one side of the frame had extra screws on it.
"What about in the bed?" Said Ellen.
"Wait what?" Said Shyam.
Shyam then lifts the mattress off the frame and finds a built int safe. Shyam just face palms.
"Of course it's in there, no one would expect it." Thinks Shyam.
The safe was a combination style one. Shyam just uses his gravity powers to rip the door off, as quietly as possible mind you. In the safe, we're small stacks of lien, if that was the name of the currency. This world's currency takes the form of a plastic card, Shyam sees that there is a black magnetic strip on the back. Shyam sees some different colours as well, turquoise, pink, yellow, and blue. An odd object was also inside of the safe. It was a object with a yellow diamond on the centre and it was white. Shyam presses the diamond and nearly drops the object. Once the object is opened, he sees a transparent screen between two grips. The object reminds Shyam of his phone, but more advanced. Shyam closes the object like a scroll. He then pockets the scroll.
"Are you two ready to leave?" Asked Shyam.
"I am, but I don't know about Russet thou." Said Ellen.
Ellen now wore a long sleeve shirt that was white with a black dragon on it. She also now wore a pair of grey pants. The two start to head out of the room, when something came through the window.
'CRASH!'
'SHATTER!'
Ellen was moved behind Shyam. Shyam puts his back to the wall. Shyam sees Russet was hiding behind the island. Shyam places one of his hands over his mouth to signal Russet to do the same thing. Russet does so, but with both hands and she was trembling. Shyam used a small mirror in the kitchen to see who had landed in the living room. It was a elderly woman with white hair and pale skin. The woman groans in pain. The unknown attacker comes in through the window.
"Nowhere to run winter maiden Fria. Soon our goddess will have the power to enter the Atlas vault." Said a young woman's voice.
"Don't they teach you kids how to treat your elders these days." Said Fria.
Fria was then thrown up onto the kitchen island, above some pans that aloud Fria to see Russet. Fria gives a little gasp. She knew she was dying slowly and in a couple years she would pass away, with her power going to someone else. Now, she sees that her attack plans to kill her and take the powers.
"I don't have much time. I just have to get that woman outside and then this faunus girl will become the next winter maiden." Thinks Fria.
"Any last words hag?" Asked the woman.
"Yes... Freeze you brat." Said Frai.
Frai has a ice beam shoot from her hand and freezes the her attacker solid. Her attack was still alive mind you, but she wasn't able to move. Shyam seeing his chance, he does a gravity vortex heavy shot and sends the attacker back through the window and down to the street below.
'CRASH!'
"AAAAAAHHHHHH!" Came a scream of a couple down below.
Shyam uses his gravity powers to lift Frai off the kitchen island and over to the couch. Fria the gets into a coughing fit, with some blood appearing on the corner of her mouth. Russet then comes out from behind the island. Frai eyes Russet in shock and realization.
"A dragon faunus! Their supposed to be extremely rare, if not myths! Ozpin told me that dragon faunus we're special when it comes to their aura and other things about them, but he never explained why. She's perfect." Thinks Frai.
"Hold still mis, I can heal you." Said Shyam.
Frai holds her hand up.
"There's no need kid, my time has come. You there, dragon faunus girl, what is you name?" Said Frai.
Russet goes over to Frai, beside Shyam. Frai holds out her hand.
"Russet. Russet Holly." Introduced Russet as she holds Frai's hand.
"My name is Frai. Your going to be playing a important part in the future. You may not know it at first, but a man in Vale, will help you understand. His name is Ozpin, the headmaster of Beacon. Any questions you have, he will answer them. Go, before the cops come." Said Frai as she closes her eyes.
Frai's hand glows as her aura flows into Russet. Russet's eyes glows a fiery white and she panics. Shyam hears the sirens in the distance.
"We have to leave. Let's go you two." Said Shyam.
Russet looks around her home one last time. She then takes Shyam's hand. Ellen holds onto Shyam by his neck. Shyam then looks across the buildings and warps to the top of the building across the street. He sees the cop cars surround the building. Shyam warps again across the roof tops, heading for what looks like a ship port.
Up in Atlas, the Atlas academy head office
General James Ironwood is a well dressed and clean man. He wears a white overcoat, with a grey undercoat. A black sweater, a red necktie, and white glove on his right hand. His suit pants share the same colour as his overcoat and are tucked into silver boots accented in grey. His hair is black with some grey areas. He has a strip of silver metal is above his right eyebrow. His eyebrows are solid black.
"Paperwork, the bane of every headmaster." Said James.
A ding goes off, signalling that someone is wanting to come in.
"Come in." Said James.
A soldier comes in with a folder.
"Sir." Said the soldier with a salute.
"At ease soldier. What is it?" Asked James.
"I was told to bring this to you, in the event that someone of importance passes." Said the soldier.
"Thank you. You are dismissed." Said James.
"Yes sir." Said the soldier as he leaves the room.
James takes a look in the folder and gasps. In the folder is a picture of Frai. The word deceased was stamped onto a piece of paper. James goes full on general at that moment. He reads the report. In the report, Frai was attack by a woman. She was thrown into a apartment and the attacker fallowed. By the pictures, the attacker was frozen in ice and thrown back out the window. But from the autopsy, Frai shouldn't have been able to move from the injures she had gotten. Someone else was in that apartment, but who? James then look at the recent report he had put off, the murder of Rouge Holly, a well known journalist and a single mother. She was murdered by some men sent by Jacques for some reason, but the interrogation was going slowly. James then looks over the report again. The apartment had things missing. A young child's clothes, some lien in a safe in the bed, and some pictures. One recovered picture was of Rouge, her husband, and their daughter. James then calls someone.
"Winter. Prepare my personal ship, I'm heading to Vale in two weeks." Ordered James.
"My I asked why general?" Came the voice of Winter.
"Personal matter with Ozpin. You are welcome to come if you want, it's your choice." Said James.
"Yes sir. I have a feeling I might be needed, so I will be coming." Said Winter.
"I hope Qrow is there, we will need him to find the new winter maiden." Thinks James.
Two weeks later, the city of Vale
"Thank you, have a nice day." Said Shyam.
He and the two kids got out of ship that was transporting dust. They had the driver of the ship to allow them to go with him on his supply trip to Vale, for a price that is. The three then head into the city. Russet also learned of Shyam's and Ellen's true past. Russet was amazed by them, due to them being from another planet. Russet also got a hold of her new powers. Now she won't have to worry about sneezing and covering the area in snow. Russet can also now levitate off the ground a few inches. The three head into a store that sells dust.
"Excuse me? Do you have any maps here for the city? If not, do you know where we could buy some?" Asked Shyam to the service clerk.
The guy points them in the direction of the library nearby. Shyam say thanks and the three head out. As they walk Shyam feels like they we're being fallowed. He takes a quick glance behind him and sees two people. One woman and one man. The two notice Shyam sees them and they start to walk a bit faster.
"C**p." Thinks Shyam.
Shyam picks up the pace. This leads them into an alleyway. The three hide with the help of Ellen bending the shadows to cover them.
"Damn it! Where did he go!" Said the woman.
"Maybe you scared him off." Said the man taking a swig from a flask.
"This isn't the time for your drinking problem Qrow! We we're asked to find Russet Holly. We did and she is with two others. One girl around the same age and a teenage boy. I told the General I could do this myself." Said the woman.
"Guess not ice queen." Said Qrow.
Two hours ago
James was in the office of Beacon academy. Qrow was a man with greying black spiky hair, he has dull red eyes, and some stubble on his jawline. He wears a grey dress shirt with a long tail, black dress pants, and black dress shoes. On his shoulders is a tattered red cloak. He wears a ring on his right index finger and a crooked cross-shaped pendent.
"So she's dead. Was it the one who attacked Amber?" Asked Qrow.
"From your description Qrow, no. This woman was in her late twenties. She had black hair and brown skin. This woman was also a wolf faunus, due to her having a tail. I brought my specialist with me to track down Russet Holy, due to her maybe being the new winter maiden." Said James.
"What makes you think that James?" Asked Glynda Gooodwitch.
Glynda Goodwitch is a middle age woman. She has very light blonde hair tied back in a bun with a curl hanging down on the right side of her face. She had green eyes and a thin pair of ovular glasses. She has some dangling teal earrings that match the hanging pendent on her collar. She wears a white long-sleeve, pleated top that has a wide keyhole neckline and gauntlet cuffs that flare in pleats at the wrist. Her lower body is covered by a black high-waisted pencil skirt with bronze buttons and a black-brown stockings. She wears black boots with a bronze heels and a cape that is purple on the inside and black on the outside. The cut of the cape is stylized to end in flames and arrows, with a row of diamond-shaped bronze beads on the back.
"Well, Frai had skin contact from her hands from Russet. So it is only logical that Russet would be the winter maiden." Said James.
"Then why come here? Wouldn't she be in Mantle?" Said Qrow.
James shows them a video. In the video, it shows Shyam warping towards the ship port, with Russet holding his hand.
"We find the boy. We find Russet." Said James.
"Then I'll go. Ice queen probably doesn't know how to deal with kids that saw someone die in front of them." Said Qrow.
Qrow then leaves to joining Winter in the search for Russet. James then looks at Ozpin.
"Oz, do you think this boy could be working for Salem?" Asked James.
Ozpin was a middle age man, with tousled silver hair and thin brown eyes. He has a light complexion and sharp facial features. Interestingly, Ozpin had black eyebrows, meaning he could have had black hair when he was younger. He wears shaded glass spectacles and a small purple cross-shaped pin on the crowd around his neck. His outfit consists of an unzipped black suit over a dark green, buttoned vest and green shirt. He wears black trousers shoes and long, dark-green pants. In addition, he has a cane in his hand. Ozpin takes a sip from his coffee mug he always has with him.
"Time will tell James. Bring Russet and the other two here so we can talk like civilized people." Said Ozpin.
Back to the present
Qrow was looking around the alleyway to see if he could find Russet, Shyam, and Ellen. Winter was also looking around as well, but she was loosing her patients.
"How can two kids and a tall teenager hide in this small alleyway!?" Said a frustrated Winter.
"Could one of the three's semblance. Russet had her aura unlocked, but she never discovered her semblance, so maybe it's one of the other two." Said Qrow.
"And why are you two fallowing us?" Asked Shyam.
Shyam had Ellen teleport him not far from Qrow and Winter. Qrow blinks at the sudden appearance of Shyam. Winter on the other hand looks for Russet and Ellen.
"By the order of General Ironwood, I'm going to give you one chance to come along peacefully. And for the one known as Russet Holy to come out of hiding, same for the other girl." Order Winter.
Winter is a tall and fair-skinned young woman with sky-blue eyes. She wears her white hair tied up in a bun, high on the left side on the back of her head. While her bangs shaped around the right side of her face, a small curled hair reaching almost to her left shoulder.
"Does snow white here speak for you." Said Shyam.
Qrow laughs a bit.
"No she doesn't. But we do need you to come with us and with the kids." Said Qrow.
"Then why should we. We've done nothing." Said Shyam.
"You we're at the sene of Frai's murder, which also happens to be Russet Holy's apartment." Said Winter.
"Sorry who are you, I was to busy ignoring you." Said Shyam, who didn't like anyone that was apart of the military.
"Specialist Winter Schnee." Said Winter.
"Schnee. Like Jacques Schnee. You his wife or something." Said Shyam, already disliking Winter.
"He's my father. Why does that matter." Said Winter.
"Because how do I now your not going to sell Russet into slavery, just like the men that killed her mother we're going to do." Said Shyam with some venom in his voice.
Winter was somewhat taken aback by the hostility from Shyam. Qrow on the other hand tensed up a bit.
"And how do you know Russet's mother?" Asked Qrow.
"I tried to save her from the men Jacques Schnee sent to kill her. I promised her I would take care of her daughter as if she was my own, which I intend too do." Said Shyam, who was glaring at Winter.
"I won't ask again. Ether come with us peacefully or by force." Said Winter.
"I'll take option three, leaving." Said Shyam.
Winter would have tried to rush Shyam, but something grabbed her and Qrow. The object throws them into the wall and pins them there. They both see the shadowy mass form upwards and Russet, along with Ellen pop out. Shyam then walks in front of Winter and Qrow, with his eyes glowing fiery dark blue. Winter was a bit intimidated by this, as she has never seen someone's eyes glow like that. Qrow on the other hand was shocked.
"Only maidens can do that!? How the hell does this kid do it?!" Thinks Qrow in shock.
"I think that's enough young man." Said Ozpin.
"Oz, showing up out of nowhere as usual." Said Qrow.
"Young man, let them go and hand over Russet Holy." Said James.
"If you don't, we can have this area swarming with huntsmen and the cops." Said Glynda.
Time slowed down and the area went grey for Shyam.
"Damn they have me corned. I could have take these two as hostages and make my get away with the kids (Evil Karma). However, I don't know what a huntsmen can do or be able to hold off both huntsmen and the cops, maybe some military personnel. If I use my Beast form, that will draw in some unwanted attention. Also, maybe they know who Ozpin is (Good Karma)." Thinks Shyam.
After a few seconds, Shyam glows a faint dark blue and places Qrow down, while dropping Winter.
"Fine I will come along, if only you tell me where I can find a guy by the name of Ozpin." Said Shyam.
"That would be me young man. My I have your name and the other girl's names." Said Ozpin.
"Shyam Phoenix and that's my adoptive daughter Ellen Phoenix." Said Shyam.
"Aren't you a bit young to adopted a child?" Said Glynda.
"Her parents asked me to look after her to keep her safe." Said Shyam.
'WHAM!'
A gravity whip slams down in front of James, due to him moving closer to Russet.
"And you general, stay away from Russet. I promised her mother I would take care of her. Frai also told us to find Ozpin and asked him some questions." Said Shyam.
"We can talk more at Beacon." Said Ozpin.
Shyam nods his head and has Russet stay by his side at all times, away from Winter and Ironwood. Ellen was also by Shyam's side the whole time.
Later at Beacon
James, Glynda, Qrow, Ozpin, Shyam, Ellen, and Russet we're in the Beacon headmaster office. Winter was ordered by James to head to his personal ship to rest up. Shyam was sitting in a chair with his eyes close and his arms crossed. Russet was on his left, while Ellen was on his right, both of which we're sitting in some provided chairs. Qrow was off to the right. Ozpin was sitting in his chair, with Glynda flanking him on his left. James was on Ozpin's right.
"So there's four maidens, each representing the four seasons. There's some crazy grimm witch hell bent on destroying all life on Remnant. You four are the only ones that know of this witch. And the current Fall maiden is in a comatose state due to her being attack by three other people and half of her powers have been stolen. Am I right?" Said Shyam.
"Yes you are right Mr Phoenix. Only the four, along some more trusted people that I know personally, know about Salem. She will come for Russet and get the winter maiden powers. Not only that, she will also be getting her hands on a dragon faunus, which are extremely rare, if not myths. From the knowledge I have, dragon faunus are more connected to aura, being very durable, they possess tremendous strength, their semblances usually related to a curtain element. For example, fire, wind, metal, darkness, poison, and etc. While it is admirable for you to take her in, I suggest you hand over Russet to general Ironwood for her safety. She will be taken care, you have my word." Said Ozpin.
It looked like Shyam would hand over Russet, but all the adults in the room we're surprised by his answer.
"No." Said Shyam.
"I beg your pardon." Said Ozpin.
"As I said, no. You have given me no reason to trust you. Woody here my never gain my trust, due to my deep hatred for any military in general. Russet will stay with me and Ellen. Both Ellen and I know what it is like to loose someone close to you. Ellen's parents gave her to me to protect her. My parents we're killed in a explosion, while my stepfather gave his life to stop a monster more powerful then grimm." Said Shyam.
"Kid sure got some balls and guts to insult Jimmy here." Thinks Qrow, who was also chuckling to himself about James new nickname.
"Young man, I suggest you apologize and reconsider. The atlas military is the most advanced military on Remnant. They can stop mostly anything." Said Glynda.
"They couldn't stop me from whipping Vale off of the map and believe me I can." Said Shyam.
This got the group to do a double take. Shyam was deliberately defying them and he wasn't even scared. Also, he was threatening them. Ozpin can tell when people lie. Shyam wasn't lying about whipping Vale off the map and something told the cursed headmaster, that there was more to Shyam.
"Are you threatening us!?" Said a shocked James.
"I think he just did. But he could be lying about the Vale part. Right Oz... Oz?" Said Qrow.
The three look at Ozpin. Ozpin was in deep thought.
"He was lying right?" Asked Qrow.
"Tell me Shyam, what else can you do?" Asked Ozpin.
"Well there's teleportation, Matter manipulation/absorption, I can release waves of energy that instantly disintegrate any human in the blast radius, regeneration, transmutation, and radiation absorption/manipulation. Oh and shape-shifting. Then there's control over gravity, fire, and light." Said Shyam.
All four of them are stunned. This one kid, had multiple semblances. Some of which sounded pretty dangerous. Qrow was frozen like a statue from the realization. Glynda and James looked ready to draw their weapons, but they knew that would only p**s Shyam off even more. Ozpin looks at Shyam, then at Ellen, and then finally at Russet. Ellen had the rare silver eyes, while Russet was a dragon faunus. Not only that, Shyam was possible the most dangerous person on Remnant. Ozpin thinks to himself.
"If Salem gets her hands on ether one of these three, it could spell disaster. Shyam is dead set on taking care of Russet. Ellen is already his adoptive daughter and she trusts him. Russet has probably built up trust with them. I have no doubt in my mind, that Shyam will go on a rampage just to protect his kids." Thinks Ozpin.
"How bout a deal then. Said Ozpin.
"What kind of deal?" Asked Shyam.
"You may keep guardianship of Russet, on the condition you attend one of the four huntsmen academies. You will be provided money, clothes, food, and anything else, as long as you attend regular classes and keep standard grades. You have until tomorrow to decide." Said Ozpin.
Shyam goes into deep thought. On one hand, they have a roof over their heads, Russet stays with him, they get some money till he gets a job, and they have food in their stomachs. On the other hand, this could also be a trap, they could be waiting for the right moment to swoop in and take Russet. Also, they might try to take him and Ellen in for experimentations on how their power worked. Shyam knew this was a huge Karmic movement, it could ether put him higher on the good karma scale or drop him into the evil karma side.
"Now I know how Cole felt when he was deciding on what to do with the RFI." Thinks Shyam.
Shyam then looks at Ozpin.
"I'll take your deal Ozzy. I'll attend Beacon." Said Shyam.
"Ozpin!? This can't happen! These three need to attend Atlas academy for their safety!" Said James.
"James, I know what I'm doing. Mr Phoenix here is making the right decision. He doesn't trust the military, last time I checked Atlas academy is also part of the military. It's his decision to attend Beacon, so live with it. I also believe we made a powerful ally today. Am I right Mr Phoenix." Said Ozpin.
"Yeah, sure, whatever." Said Shyam.
"I'll take them Tai's place, I'm sure he wouldn't mind them staying there till the intervention happens. Come one you three, I'll take you there." Said Qrow.
As they walk to the elevator, Shyam glow a bright dark blue. They see he looks normal, but his clothes look more clean. His skin looks healthier. His hair is more clean and fixed. They also noticed that Shyam's shirt's symbol had changed. It was now had a white eagle with one wing hitting away some red feathers. Ozpin would asked Shyam about this 'change' at a later date. Qrow just has a confused look on his face.
"What the hell just happened?" Asked Qrow.
"Don't worry about it." Said Shyam.
The elevator doors then close. James then looks at Ozpin with a concerned look.
"You sure are putting a lot of trust in that boy Oz, what if he's working for Salem. Qrow said his eyes glowed like a maiden's eyes. What if Salem made a male version of the maidens and he's the byproduct of it?" Said James.
"When we meet in the alleyway, I sensed no maiden power from him or a knock off of maiden powers. He's something else entirely. I'll ask him more when the semester starts. You should head back to Atlas to prepare for the new semester as well." Said Ozpin.
"I just hope your right about this boy Oz." Said James.
Beacon now has a beast of its own. How will the future students handle a guy with multiple powers and some dangerous killer moves. How will the world of Remnant change, only time will tell. The Beast is now part of the elaborate chess game, just waiting to be unleashed onto the enemy.
Till next time
Done! First chapter of my Infamous X RWBY. Russet is a girl's name meaning reddish brown, like rust. Shyam is a boy's name meaning dark blue or black. Ellen is obviously a girl's name and it means light. Their lasts names also mean a colour. Russet's last name relates to winter, Shyam's last name relates to a dark crimson, and Ellen's last name relates to shadows. Only five other infamous characters will show up. One is in Vale. Two are in Atlas. One is in Mistral. Finally, one will be a third party till around volume 4. I will try and get the next chapter done soon, but no promises due to my other stories. Pease.
