Chapter 5
The Adventure begins
Pitch black darkness lurked all around. The word 'Nothingness' did not serve justice to this place. An infinite black void as far as the eye could see, with nothing but the sound of silence. And in the amidst of this void, this Hell, there was a man.
The nerve wrecking silence was broken by this man's scream. His vocal chords being used to their absolute limit, his screams could be defined as cries of pain and agony, something you would associate with Hell. Like a soul, now being tortured for the rest of eternity for the sins it has committed.
The sound echoed all around the void, but it seemed no one was there to hear them, except the man himself.
SON GOKU, VEGETA, TRUNKS,
THIS PAIN YOU HAVE CAUSED ME.
I SWEAR UPON MY DIVINITY,
I WILL MAKE YOU SUFFER
AND DESTROY EVERYTHING
YOU HAVE EVER KNOWN OR LOVED
Beacon Academy, Ozpin's office
"Are you sure?" Glynda inquired.
"Yes, for now, at least. He has shown remarkable skills unlike any other student. But it is still not wise to put him on a team of his own." Ozpin communicated to Glynda.
"Alright, but what's really confusing is-"
"That boy doesn't use Dust, Aura or Semblance, rather he seems to possess his speed and strength naturally." Ozpin cut off Glynda.
"Yes. How could that be possible Sir?"
"I only know as much as you do. For now, keep an eye on him."
"Hmm, was his name Black, or Son Goku? His transcript says his name is Son Goku, but as far as I recall when we first encountered him he told his name was Black."
Ozpin remained silent as he stared at the Saiyan's picture on the transcript.
"Only the maidens posses great strength without any Dust or Aura. This boy has shown abilities that require neither of those. Just who are you, Son Goku?"
Black opened his eyes. Everything around him was blurry and his ears seemed to have stopped working momentarily. He rubbed his eyes with his hands. It seemed he was laying on some sort of bed, with a blanket on top of him.
"Arrgh..." Goku groaned as he sat up. "Where-Where am I?" The first thing he saw after sitting up was Yang sitting on a couch in front of him. He was in a room that looked like a hospital room. The clock on the wall showed it was 8 pm.
Yang had fallen asleep on the couch. "How long have I been out for?" Goku wondered. "Hey, Psst." Black tried to wake Yang up.
"Huh, wha-who's there?" Yang got up with a jolt. She shook her head to regain her senses and then looked towards Black. "Goku? You're finally up?! Oh thank goodness, you had me so worried!" Yang ran towards Goku's bed and hugged him tightly.
"Ergh, let go woman!" Black struggled to keep the blonde away from him. "I'm guessing the initiation is over?"
"Yep, it's over! And all of us got assigned to our own teams as well, teams of four." Yang reported to Goku.
"Ozpin wasn't lying. Who's team am I on?" This was the first question that popped up in his mind. Even though he still was against the idea of being in a team with some Mortal, he was actually eager to know how his luck had rolled.
Yang grinned. "Hehe, can't you guess? You're in a team with me of course!" Yang said cheerfully as she gave a thumbs up to Goku.
Goku stared at Yang's cheery face for a second, and then face palmed himself, "I wanna die."
"Oh come on Mr. Grumpy pants, you know you want to be with me. Besides we're not the only ones in the team. We have Ruby, Blake and Weiss as well."
"Wait, doesn't that make five people? You said that teams consisted of four people only."
"Yea well that's where the bad news comes. Everyone was shocked after hearing Team RWBY had a fifth member, as this is the first time in Beacon that a team contained five members. After all the teams were made, you were the only one left. Ms. Glynda informed us that all the other students had been selected, and there were no three other students left which could form a team with you. And because you had very close coordination with me, Ruby, Blake and Weiss during the initiation, Sir Ozpin decided to put you in a team with us." Yang explained to Black.
"Hmm, that is very bad news indeed. I would've preferred to work solo."
"Wait what? I haven't even gotten to the bad news part yet!" Yang said surprised. She went on. "The bad news is that since you're a special case, and no team has ever had a fifth member, we will have to follow the rules in a different way. You see, many tournaments in Remnant consist of teams of two, so that means from the five of us in team RWBY, only four of us will be allowed to participate. Also another thing is that you don't have your initial in our team name, RWBY." Yang finished.
"Hmph, I could care less about the name, but tournaments?"
"Yeah, it looks like there are going to be tournaments later, when we'll be a bit experienced. That reminds me, what was that attack you performed on the cliff? It was so awesome! There was a bright light in your hands, and then you unleashed it, and then the Nevermore exploded! You've gotta teach me that technique!"
The girl's praises made Black smile. "I know I'm amazing."
"After you passed out, me and Ruby carried you here to the nursing room. You were out cold and wouldn't wake up, so the nurse told us to let you rest a bit. Ruby waited with me in the room for quite a bit, but then I sent her to the dorm to unpack our stuff."
"Dorm?"
"Yep, each team has their own room. Team JNPR; Jaune, Nora, Pyrrha and Ren have their room right in front of ours."
"So...You're telling me the five of us are going to share a bedroom, for the next four years?"
"Duh, What'd you think?"
Goku fell back in disappointment, "Coming to this wretched school was a mistake! I should've never listened to you, I only came here because you said there were going to be a lot of strong warriors here!"
"Hehe you act like you don't care, but from the inside you're happy aren't you? Sharing a room with four other young girls?" Yang whispered in a mischievous tone.
"Hmph as if! A being like me does not care for such vulgar and useless things."
"Ya ya ya whatever. Now that you're up let me take you to our room. It's getting late, and our classes start tomorrow." Yang said, totally ignoring Black's remarks.
Team RWBY room
"So let me get this straight. Us four are going to be sharing the same room, with that guy?! Are you serious?" Weiss was fumed at hearing this.
"Hey, he's not 'that guy', his name's Goku! Besides, he's not like other boys, he's much more serious and isn't into that kind of stuff!" Ruby came in Black's defense.
"I don't care how much of a gentleman he is, I will not tolerate him sleeping in the same room with me!"
Blake was chilling on her bed with a book in her hand. "Yea, I'm not very eager to share a room with a boy I barely know either."
"Oh come on guys, he's not like that. You guys will know for sure once you get to know him a little bit. Just give him a chance." Ruby appealed.
"Absolutely not! If he's going to be in the same room with me, he better stay as far away from me as possible." Weiss yelled. She then pushed the fifth bed into the corner of the room away from the rest of the beds. "He'll be sleeping over here in the corner. One of us need to keep an eye on him at all times to see he's not up to anything."
Ruby sighed, there was no convincing these two. And it was expected, as they were going to be sharing the same room with a boy they barely know at all.
Then suddenly Yang kicked open the door. "Hey, Look who I found!" Standing behind Yang was none other than the Saiyan himself.
"Goku! You're finally up!" Ruby beamed up in joy.
"Hey Ruby, didn't I tell you to unpack our stuff? It looks like you haven't even opened the bags." Yang said as she entered the room with Black following behind.
"Ohh, I forgot." Ruby rubbed the back of her head sheepishly.
"Hey, Goku was it? You're going to be sleeping over there." Weiss pointed to the lonely bed at the corner of the room. "Also, a reminder that you need to keep all your belongings; clothes, weapons etc, away and separate from ours."
Black didn't like that Weiss was treating him like some nobody. "Listen princess, I have no interest in sleeping in this room with you either, but it is my burden. And don't worry, I'll stay as far away as possible from you. If you still have a problem, go talk it up with administrator. Trust me, on my way here, I tried everything I could to get my own separate room."
There was a moment of silence in the room. Then all of a sudden Black walked out of the room.
"There you go, you done ticked him off!" Ruby shouted at Weiss angrily.
Weiss sat on her bed, taking off her pony, "Well, I'm good as long as he's out of the room. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to sleep. We have a big day ahead of us."
Ruby was about to go after Black, but Yang stopped her. "Ruby let him be."
"What? Yang how could you say that?"
"Knowing him, he probably just went to the cafeteria to grab something to eat. After all he hasn't eaten till breakfast since he passed out." Yang giggled.
"Oh yeaaa, you're right." Ruby smiled.
Yang was right after all, because after leaving the room, Goku went straight to the cafeteria. The cafeteria was almost completely empty at this time. Most of the students had headed to their rooms. Black grabbed a bowl of fruit salad and sat at a random table. As he sat down and ate with a fork in one hand, he stared at his time ring on the other one.
That crack on the ring, it wasn't there before when he was in Trunks' timeline. What did it mean, and what did it signify? He was in a completely unknown world, with strangers whom he had never met before. Weiss' words "Stay away!" echoed in his mind. For the first time in his life, Goku began to feel homesick. He wanted to return to his timeline, his own universe, where he had all his power. It was the place he associated as 'home'. Staying in this place, Remnant, made him feel uneasy, and felt very wrong. It was like he was disrupting the original history of this world.
But the problem was, he had no way of going back. His time ring required a Potara to be used, and even if he did have a Potara earring, this crack on the time ring seemed very dangerous. Who knows where it would take him if used it.
He could have continued his 'Zero Mortal Plan' in this Universe, if only he had the power. But as of now this objective had much less priority and he was slowly beginning to forget about it.
Black snapped out of his thoughts as he sensed two people coming towards him.
"Hey Goku!" Jaune waved. Pyrrha was with Jaune and they both had a trays of food in their hands. They sat down beside him.
"What do you want?" Black questioned. He was still in a bad mood from the incident in the bedroom. Well to be honest, he acted cold and silent pretty much all the time.
"Oh nothing, I just came by to say hi. Me and Pyrrha were very hungry, so we came here to grab something to eat."
"I usually have dinner before I sleep, so I had to eat something." Pyrrha chuckled.
"Say Goku, how's your team doing? Is Ruby a good leader? I'm sure she's better than me." Jaune blurted out that last line.
"So she's the leader? Oh it's going wonderful. So wonderful, they don't even want me in the room." Black said sarcastically.
"Oh, well...that's sad to hear." Jaune said awkwardly.
Pyrrha stared at the saiyan through the corner of her eyes. She pretended to show no interest, but in the inside, her Aura was telling her something. Goku radiated pure energy, so that meant he had a pure soul. But this pureness wasn't ordinary. It didn't quite feel like pure good, rather...
She had to get a closer look, she had to know what Goku was, was he part of the light, or part of the darkness?
Goku noticed Pyrrha. They made eye contact for a second after which Pyrrha suddenly shifted her eyes downwards to her bowl.
"Did he notice me looking at him?! I must stay vigilant." Pyrrha thought.
"What's up with her? Was she looking at me? I still feel the same force from her. I should ask her about it."
"Hey, Pyrrha was it?" Black asked gaining the girl's attention.
Pyrrha got a little nervous now. Was Black going to ask why she was looking at him?
"Yes?"
"If you don't mind me asking, what's your Semblance?"
All of Pyrrha's nervousness went away. Rather, she was a little, surprised. She did not expect this kind of question at all. "Oh well, it's kind of complicated." She smiled. "You see, my power is magnetism."
It finally made sense! That's why Black felt a pull on his ring whenever she was near him.
"Yea and she can also unlock people's inner Aura, like she unlocked mine!" Jaune shouted in excitement. "Oh no, I didn't mean to say that!"
"Huh? Unlock Aura? What do you mean?" Black questioned. He was a bit confused, but quickly put it all together in his mind.
"Uh-umm nothing! I don't mean anything! I totally didn't mean to say that!" Jaune had no idea how he was going to cover this up. What if Goku told the Headmaster? He was going to be kicked out of the school for sure!
As Jaune sat there in anxiety, Goku turned his head towards Pyrrha once again. "So you can unlock a person's Aura?"
"Uh, given the occasion, yes I guess." She chuckled nervously.
"Hmm, I see. You seem like an interesting person Pyrrha. I would love to see you're abilities some time, if you would be so kind to show them to me." Black stated with a little smile.
Pyrrha stared at Goku's face. That smile, it was so heartwarming. She was frozen looking at him for a good couple of seconds. As she blinked and came out of her thoughts, "Uh, of course Goku. I would love to."
"Maybe I'm just over reacting. His presence feels weird but he doesn't look like a bad person at all." Pyrrha wondered.
Meanwhile Goku on the other hand was smiling for a whole different reason. The reason he smiled, was because he couldn't imagine the thought of unlocking his own Aura. He saw how strong these humans and Faunus became when they used their Aura. What unimaginable strength a Saiyan would possess if he unlocked his Aura. He couldn't help but hold the excitement in him and smiled when he didn't mean to. And, after all, Son Goku's smile was enough to melt anyone's heart.
But of course he had to get closer to Pyrrha first. She was not going to unlock the Aura of a total stranger she just met a few hours ago.
As Black conversed with the redhead for a couple more minutes, ignoring the annoying blonde who desperately tried to join the conversation every now and then, he noticed it was getting late. "Well, it was nice talking to you Pyrrha, see you tomorrow." He got up, put his tray at the counter and left.
"Small talks like these are exactly what I need to earn her friendship." Black plotted in his mind.
"That smile, why was it so, cute? Oh what am I thinking, I just met him." Whereas Pyrrha was on a completely different story, totally oblivious to the fact that Goku was only using her.
Jaune waved in front of Pyrrha's face to get her out of her thoughts, "Uhh Pyrrha? We should get going now. it's getting late."
"Uhh right!"
After leaving the cafeteria, Black headed straight to the Locker room.
There he went to his locker, opened it, and started taking off his Gi. He took off the top part of his Gi, dusted it with his hands, and hanged it inside his locker. His Black Divine Gi was his pride and joy, besides his Godly power of course, which as of now he didn't possess. Before he proceeded to take off the bottom part of his Gi, he glanced at one of the doors of the locker room.
"You do realize I am completely aware that you're there, right?" Black called looking towards the locker room door.
"Wow, some senses you got there! How'd you know I was here?" Yang stopped peeking and entered the locker room.
"It's pretty obvious. You need to learn to control your desires, young lady."
"What, you're too shy to change in front of a girl?" Yang mocked Goku in a mischievous tone.
"Hmph" Black opened up the red cloth holding up the bottom part of his Gi, and it everything fell to the ground, revealing his Divine package.
Yang's eyes turned from mischievousness to being shocked in a split second. Her eyes widened and her mouth dropped as her face turned redder than Pyrrha's hair.
"Eeek!" She squeaked as she covered her mouth with her hands. She was not expecting Goku to do that at all. She was only messing with him.
"You underestimate me again, and again Yang. You act all tough, but it only takes me a second to break you. But why is that? I've known you for quite a while. You're not like that in front of other people. You don't react like that at all when you encounter vulgar things, but rather whenever you're involved sexually with me in particular, whether it being you on top of me in our battle, me kissing you, or like now, seeing my reproductive organs, you seem to blush till no end. I genuinely want to know." Black questioned with still a blank expression on his face, showing no signs of embarrassment.
Black was serious. He legitimately wanted to know the answer to his question. Why was he the only one to break through Yang's barrier? The truth was Yang didn't know the answer to this question either. She never pondered about it. Now that Black mentioned, it was quite true. Why did she get so nervous with him?
"Ah-I uh-Ee-I don't-ah." Were pretty much all the noises that came out of Yang's mouth. She was so taken aback by seeing Goku like this, that not a single word could make it's way out of her mouth. All she could do was stare more and more to the marvelous body in front of him. The muscles were all so well defined, and looked so Godly it was unreal. And don't even get me started on the main focus, under the torso. Saiyans were well gifted in that department I guess, Goku especially.
"It seems you don't know either. Oh well." Black grabbed a grey pajama from his seat and put it on. Yang still stood there, speechless. Black grabbed his shirt in his hands and moved closer to Yang. He stopped right in front of her, and looked her dead in the eyes. Yang stared in awe at the being in front of her. Towering over her, this beast of a man stood, his muscles now more clearly visible than ever. His chest and abs looked harder than rock, and his arms looked like they could lift anything.
Yang began to get hotter. She could hear her heart getting faster and faster. Before, when Goku was a few feet away, she could at least move her mouth to say something, but now, her entire body had given up on her, she could not move at all. She glanced upwards, and looked straight into Goku's eyes. They were like tiny black holes, in which she could stare for eternity.
"You humans are so strange." Black whispered right in front of Yang's face. His face showing no hint of emotion, his words, colder and sharper than ever. His voice went straight into Yang's soul.
"Flip this whole situation around, and if I was the one to see you without any clothes on, I would be called a pervert." He whispered. After saying that Black walked away, out of the Locker room.
Yang stood there, her head spinning. So much had happened, she needed a moment to take it all in. She sat down at the seat right beside her, and took a deep breath. Goku's words echoed in her mind. Why? Why did he do always do that to her? Why was he always able to melt her heart and leave her completely weak? Why did she find him so special? Why did she always get so nervous and hot whenever he did this?
"Because, I Love you."
Black opened up the bedroom door, and peeked inside. Looks like the rest of Team RWBY was asleep. Not a single sound in the bedroom, except Ruby's little snores.
Goku entered the room, and made his way towards his bed. He put his shirt aside, as he didn't feel like wearing it, he wanted to sleep comfortably. He did not care about what Weiss said at this point. All he could think about now, was when he was going to unlock his Aura. Like a little kid, eager to know what was going to happen. He chuckled at himself and laid down on his bed, with his arms behind his head.
A few minutes later Yang opened the door. She quietly entered the room, laid down on her bed, and put her blanket over her. She did not say a word to Goku nor even look at him once. She was too shook up from what had happened, and needed some time to relax.
Goku noticed her entering the room and laying down on her bed. Seeing Yang again, the same question popped up in his mind once again. But there was another thing as well that he did not mention to Yang. It was that, although he wanted to know why Yang acted like that around him, he wanted to know about himself as well.
It was the same scenario. Whenever he was close to her, and interacted with her like this, why did he feel an urge? The urge to suddenly grab Yang with both his hands. To lift her up in the air and ruffle her hair. To tickle her neck with his nose and feel her body. His body felt like it wanted to corner Yang up against the wall, do things to her, but his mind was confused. His mind didn't know why he felt these urges. Back at the locker room, only he knew how hard he fought from the inside to fight against these so called 'desires'.
Black stopped all his thinking at an instant, remembering he needed to get up tomorrow. He closed his eyes, and drifted off to wonderland.
