Flashback
There Elridian was several meters away, facing his brother, with determination in their eyes. After many years of pointless death, destruction, hardship, and sorrow.
They were, by the entrance of a prison that contained the eater of creations, the last child of the All-Father, slayer of kin, and the all-mighty ebony dragon.
Elrid would do everything to ensure that Ryzorin didn't unleash the beast. Not even with the combined power of his and his brother's singularities would be able to stop it once it begins to consume everything until there is nothing but an empty void.
"I won't let you near the prison!" Elrid snarled with a fiery passion. "I don't wanna have to kill you!!! This is your last chance to back off, Ryzo!! We can still be..." his voice nearly broke, "brothers." He finished desperately.
He didn't understand why he still wanted to reason with his brother. Ryzorin wouldn't see things his way; he knew this, but he had to try. He didn't want to lose his only family. He didn't want to be the last of his species.
Ryzorin laughed at his younger brother like he said something so stupid that it was funny. He couldn't contain it; he always thought Elridian was pathetic, but this was something else.
Elridian growled.
He looked at Elridian with an amused expression. "We were never brothers. To begin with, you mean nothing to me. Your existence infuriates me. When I end your life, ill finally be happy and then ill take Soul Shatter for myself."
Elridian narrowed his eyes at Ryzorin, ignoring all the chaos that was going on around them. "You will not touch him." He stated coldly.
Ryzorin scoffed at his little brother before giving him a response. "You always did make things difficult for me. Since the day they announced that you were to be born, I should have known you would get in my way." He paused to look at the chaos, "I should have just killed them and taken the throne for myself. Then I would've completed my goal long ago."
"Yeah, you should have..why didn't you?" Elridian asked, somewhat curious.
Ryzorin shrugged. "I guess a part of me what do see how much we could fuck up before we got to this point," he ominously grinned at Elridian, "at least you didn't disappoint me on that." He then transformed into his singularity form. "Now it's time to finish this. Creation had its time." He began charging at Elridian.
Without saying anything back, Elridian shifted into Soul Shatter and did the same.
Before their fists could collide, Elridian created a portal behind Ryzorin and tackled him into it.
They appeared in another dimension far outside of their own, and with that, Elridian rammed his fist into Ryzorin's face, creating a shockwave that destroyed infinite realities. The older Void walker quickly recovered, then headbutted his brother hard enough that his skull nearly split but being an inheritor of a Singularity, his injuries healed near-instantaneously. He pulled back his right arm for it to shift into a massive blade that he used to impale his brother, then twisted it, causing Ryzorin to scream in agony. He retaliated by morphing both his arms into blades and ramming them into the middle of Elridian's chest. Both were spilling enough blood to fill entire pools and were relentlessly tearing off each other's limbs, with none of them giving in to the pain. More realities were being destroyed from their battle as time passed on. It seemed like they'd been fighting for an eternity, but it was merely hours of nonstop violence.
"WHY CAN'T YOU DIE, YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT!!" Ryzorin shouted while making himself the size of a galaxy. "WE'VE ALREADY DESTROYED COUNTLESS LIVES WITH OUR BATTLE ALONE!! AND YOU SAY YOU WANT TO BE CREATIONS SAVIOR!!" He chuckled, "YOUR NO BETTER THEN I AM!!!"
"ONCE I KILL YOU, ILL REPAIR EVERYTHING WE'VE DESTROYED!!" His little brother snapped back.
"NOT IF I HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT!!!" Ryzorin pulled back his massive fist and sent it towards Elridian.
Elridian pulled back his and put all of his power into it.
And once their fists met one another, everything went blank.
Flashback end
TEAM RWBYE'S ROOM
Elrid eyes opened, and he sat up from his bed. He sighed "ive been having that dream for over a month now, Soul." He spoke softly to wake the girls.
"El? You ok?" Summer asked.
"Yeah, im alright..just..."
"Do you fear that he may still be alive?"
"It's only been two weeks since ive been on Remnant, and im living every man's dream, and we've made significant progress. We have multiple factions under our control, near-unlimited resources, and loyal commanders. We know about Salem, our biggest obstacle. I have five Sentinels, who are also five beautiful women I care a great deal about and will help me restore my species. Of course, im afraid." He said softly in his mind. "I have everything to lose."
"I know I can't do much, El but Im always here for you." She smiled.
"Thanks, Summer, that means a lot." He smiled back.
"I understand. In such little time, we've done so much, and I have also grown fond of the girls. You have my word if anything unfortunate happens to them, ill kill whoever was idiotic enough to mess with us."
"Heck yeah!! High five, Soul!!!" Summer has her hand out for Soul to smack. He looks at her, then at hand, and gently slaps, which causes Summer to jump up high in the air in celebration.
This action causes Elridian and Soul to chuckle.
Elridian smiled. "Thanks, guys, I needed that."
"You're basically my son at this point, so no problem, sweetie!"
"No need for thanks. You deserve happiness. So do whatever it takes to keep it, even if it means you have to be a monster."
Elridian nodded. "I will." He gets out of bed and puts a shirt on. He then quietly leaves his room.
"You meeting up with Torchwick?"
"Yeah, I need to discuss last-minute details with him and Adam at the club...and I wanna check up on Neo." He said quietly.
Soul chuckled. "You aren't going soft me, are you?" The singularly asked jokingly.
"No." Elridian managed to get far enough from Beacon. "I may have a kind heart, but never mistake my kindness for weakness."
Soul grinned. "Good, Id be worried if you did."
Juniors club-VIP area
Elridian has been at the club for an hour and has proven quite interesting. Torchwick was taking his time getting to the club, so the teen was accompanied by Neo, who he was currently making out with ferociously, Adam, who was getting aggravated and attempted to ignore them but couldn't due to all the heavy petting that was going on between them causing certain sounds to be emitted and the twins eyes were twitching at the sight as they developed on crush Elridian. Unluckily for them, however, he wasn't interested, and Neo threatened to kill them on multiple occasions.
Adam sighs "the strongest booze on Remnant wouldn't be able to help me here." He thought to himself.
The twins stood beside them. He inwardly scowled at them but ignored them, taking another gulp of his drink.
"Can you two quit sucking face for like five minutes?" Milita in, an annoyed tone.
"Or for the rest of the night, "Melanie added, equally annoyed.
Neo broke the heated make-out session to glare at them, then faced the young void walker but instead of went for his neck.
The twin eyes twitched again.
Elridian smirked, closing his eyes while enjoying the sensation of his neck being sucked on. " Hey, you did ask for us to stop sucking face.." He chuckled, "Neo found an alternative solution." He quietly moaned, causing Neo to grin on the inside.
Summer sighed, wondering how she could deal with Elridian's antics.
"For once, I agree with the humans." Adam reluctantly added. "What's taking Torchwick so fucking long?"
"Don't..care..as..long..as..this..keeps..going, "Elrid slowly replied, doing his best not to groan in pleasure.
"I swear to god, if she goes any lower, im leaving!"
"Don't give her any ideas!!"
"No, please continue to give her ideas." Elridian grinned. The three of them glared at the red-eyed teen. "But if..it makes you feel any better, he's probably ensuring you guys got enough supplies for the raid."
Adam nodded in agreement. "Still can't believe we'll be raiding the tenth-largest dust mine on Remnant, especially since your girlfriend's father owns it."
Elridian shrugs. "Not like Weiss cares about her father. M'lady utterly despises the fucker, and I ain't too fond of him myself."
Adam smirked. "At least we can agree on that."
"Not the only thing we all can agree to." Roman chimed in, causing everyone except Neo to look at him.
"Where the fuck were you?! Those two!" Adam points at Elridian and Neo, "have been going at it for an hour!!" Adam practically shouted.
Roman just smirked. "Glad to know Neo was preoccupied. She can get a little chaotic when not entertained." He chuckled. "Shall we get to business?"
"Yes!"
Elridian sighed and lightly smacked Neo's ass, "as much I enjoy this, daddy's gotta handle this."
Neo got off of him and pouted, causing the teen to chuckle.
"We can finish this later, alright?" He smirked.
She smirked back and nodded.
Everyone grouped around the large table in the middle of the VIP room. Roman pulled out a map that had the layout of mines. Elridian inspected the map to ensure everything was correct and nodded at adam. "Are you sure you won't need Wrath? He wouldn't mind helping out. This security here is tight." Elridian said, genuinely concerned.
"Are you doubting we can complete the mission?" Adam asked in a low tone.
"Im not doubting you. Im just concerned about my people, and whether you like it or not, I consider you one of my people. I don't want to lose too many people."
Adam nodded, smiling on the inside. "Thanks for the concern but with the equipment you and Wrath provided. Im sure we won't lose too many people."
"Good, and do your best to recruit as many of the miners to our cause as possible. With what we have, im sure most wouldn't refuse our offer."
Roman chimed in, "and who's foolish enough to decline our offer?"
"Idiots with pride," Elridian answered. "Now, with that out of the way, any news with Cinder?"
"From what the woman will tell me, she'll have another job for us here soon. Other than that, nothing new." Roman replied before smoking his cigar.
Elridian nodded and then picked Neo up, who let out an inaudible squeal of joy. "We're going to go have our fun somewhere else. Later people!" And with that, the two love birds were gone.
Roman took the cigar out of his mouth and looked at Adam, smirking, "can't believe he's banging your ex."
Adam growled, "fuck off." Then he took a long swig of his drink, wanting to forget the fact his "boss" is dating his ex-lover.
A week later
After the raid on the Schnee dust mine, Elridian and Wrath have begun to experiment with dust. The void walker hasn't touched shit until now, and now he's glad he did.
After a bit of experimentation on himself with the dust crystals, he's discovered he can absorb the energy from the crystals giving him the ability to manipulate the elements, then combine that with his chaotic energy, the lethality and effectiveness of the dust is amplified tenfold.
However, the effect lasts up to an hour.
"Wow, just wow..." Summer couldn't believe Elridian created a building-size glacier.
She wasn't the only one amazed; Roman, Adam, and Neo were also watching the teen demonstrate his discovery.
"I'll need to talk to Wrath about implementing my power source into some of the technology." Elridian thought.
"El, you do realize what you've done, right?"
"Something awesome, of course!!" Elridian grinned. He looks at the others, "Adam. Roman." They look at him. "Looks like we're getting some upgrades."
They all grinned.
Two days later
"Alright, my little warriors were gonna be learning something exciting today. You've seen me use it a few times in the past few weeks. Can anyone guess what it is?" Elridian asked his four Team/lovers.
"Is it by chance thoughs symbols that you've been creating?" Weiss asked.
He smiled and kissed her on the cheek. "Correct per usual, M'lady." He then took out a piece of paper and drew several signs for them to study. "These are called 'Signs.' It's a rare form of magic that is usually only used by individuals of chaos and are somewhat similar to glyphs, but the possibilities of this are nearly endless. Ive used them to create illusions, have unlimited storage, enhance weapons or my physical
abilities..basically, you can almost do anything just gotta be creative."
The girls looked amazed. He couldn't blame them. He was amazed by it when he first studied the magic.
"AWESOME, WE GET TO STUDY MAGIC!!!" Ruby and Yang shouted happily.
"Calm down, you dolts!!" She looked at Elridian and smiled. "Please continue."
He nodded. "You guys will be studying the basic signs for a few weeks. Now before we start anything.." He takes a knife and a bucket out of nowhere which raises a few eyebrows.
"What are you doing?" Blake asked.
"Something, you guys ain't gonna like.." Before any of them could reply, he slits his wrist and pours his blood into the bucket.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!!!" They all shouted.
Ruby was the first to be by his side and smacked him. "WHAT THE HECK, EL BEAR!!"
"ARE YOU TRYING TO GIVE US A HEART ATTACK, YOU DOLT!!"
"Awe, I love you guys too! It's so adorable how much you worry about me." He chuckled.
Yang smacked him. "Not funny, babe."
"Damn tough crowd."
"As I said before, you are unbelievable." Blake glared at him.
He sighed, "the reason why I did that is that my Signs will only activate using my blood. Besides..." He showed his arm to them, and their eyes widened as its already healed. "My regeneration is pretty fast." He smirked.
"You sure there isn't another way to activate them?" Ruby asked, not liking the idea of Elridian harming himself.
"Nope, so time to bleed!!!" He then slashed his wrist again, much to the girl's distress.
Several hours passed, and the girls had difficulty using the magic mainly because they didn't want their boyfriend's blood all over them. However, after another hour, they managed to get two of the signs down.
"Alright, I think thats gonna be it for today, and before we go, I need to tell you all something."
They all look at him.
"For now, I don't want you guys using the Signs outside of our room or out here. Understood?" They nodded. "Good, and remember to keep your emotions in check while using chaos magic as if you don't, there's a high probability of you guys going insane. Understood?" They all nodded again and were silently shitting themselves.
"Man, im starving," Yang said.
"Me too."
"Alright, let's go out to eat. You guys have been doing well with training, so I know the perfect place for us to go, my treat."
"You sure we can pitch in, you know?" Weiss replied, with the others nodding in agreement.
"Oh, trust me, money ain't an issue, so please, I insist." He grinned.
Two weeks later
Elridian has been getting lost a lot in his thoughts lately. Sometimes he thought about his dysfunctional family. Sometimes it was how he would eventually reveal everything to his team, he didn't want to keep them in the dark, but it was the better move. They're too naive, they wouldn't be able to understand the greyness of life, but soon, he'll tell them but not yet. Speaking of which, the women he had in his life were making him proud. After a month of training, they have gotten significantly more toned and have physically grown beyond his expectations.
One of the many things the five of them had in common that made his world was that they were all loyal and supportive beyond leaps and bounds. Their flames of passion burned hotter than the sun and were highly territorial when it came to him.
Ruby and Weiss have improved on their physical and combat limitations.
Weiss and yang have improved on their tempers.
Yang is more versatile in close quarters.
Blake's overall skill has improved.
Neo, being Neo, was already in a league of her own and was by the most proficient with Sign magic which didn't surprise him in the least.
Overall they were everything he wanted, and he would do everything to protect them. He would slaughter all that dared touch or harm them.
He was snapped outta his thoughts by his little rose. "You alright, El?" She asked with concern in her eyes.
"Yeah, im alright," he said to Ruby, who was sitting next to him. Then he noticed everyone at the table was staring at him. "What?"
"Babe quit the bullshitting. You've been zoning out for over a month now, and we're getting worried." Yang replied while her head on his shoulder.
"Yangs correct. You've been doing this in our room, during classes, when we hang out." Weiss added.
"You're basically gone half the time," Blake said bluntly with sadness in her tone.
"It is rather noticeable," Ren decided to chime in.
Elridian felt a hand on his left shoulder. He looked to see it was the orange-haired girl Nora, "what's wrooooong? We don't need to start worrying about you too!! Jaune is already bad enough as it is!!"
"You guys should be more concerned about Jaune," he deadpanned, " cause currently, he's lost his balls and needs help finding them," Elridian said while glaring at the blonde.
Said blonde felt the void walker's cold glare and began to sweat as he slowly met his eyes with the younger teens. "W-W-What are y-you talking about, El?" He said with a stutter.
His glare sharpened, "first of all, only my girls get to call me that, so shut the fuck up. Second, im talking about how Cardin made you his bitch!" He nearly shouted.
Everyone flinched at the venom coming out of Elridian's mouth.
"As much I dislike Elridian choice of words, he's correct. Cardin has been picking on you since the first day of school." Pyrrha said, facing the teen.
"Nah, he just likes to mess around, ya know. Practically jokes." Jauned defended.
"He's a bully." Ruby deadpanned.
"Oh, please name one time he's 'bullied' me." He said while nervously chuckling.
"Deploying your shield in the doorway."
"Knocking your books outta your hand."
"Forcing you into one of the rocket-propelled lockers and making it blast off."
The blonde sweat dropped on how fast everyone, well, mostly everyone, replied to his comment. "I didn't land far from the school." He weakly added.
Elridian began to twitch as he was disgusted with Jaunes cowardice and was about to beat the 'bitch' out of him.
"I can smell his weakness," Soul growled, "it disgusts me!"
Summer could only shake her head in disappointment.
"Agreed," He said in his mind.
"Jaune, you know if you ever need help, you can just ask." Said Pyrrha.
"Oh!" Nora stood up and raised her fists, "We'll break his legs!" The girl said enthusiastically.
Jaune stood up with a tray in his hand. "Guys, really, im fine! Besides, it's not like he's only a jerk to me. He"s a jerk to everyone."
After his statement, a Faunus girl cried in agony. "Oww, that hurts!!!"
Cardin and his friends were laughing at the girl's expense while she was doing her to convince Cardin to let go of her ear. "Please stop." She said with tears threatening to come out.
"I told you they were real," Cardin said with her ear in his grip and laughed louder.
"What a freak." One of them replied.
As soon as Cardin let's go of her ear, everyone gasped in horror as Elridian snapped the bully's wrist, causing the armored teen to scream in agony, causing many to wince.
Cardin looked up and was about to reply but stopped as he looked into a pair of red eyes that bore into his soul. Cardin was beginning to sweat and felt death was about to calm him, but unfortunately for him, he got something worse.
Humiliation.
"So you think that was funny, huh?" Elridian asked.
The cafeteria was beginning to get cold, and everyone could feel fear crawling into their bodies as they heard the voice no one wanted to hear when Elridian was pissed, and they all simultaneously thought, "oh shit."
Elridian then faced the rest of Cardin's team with his eye emitting red electricity-like streaks from his eyes. "If you value your pathetic lives, Id suggest you leave before I decide to kill you in ways inconceivable to the human mind," with his streaks erupting more violently with each passing second.
Taking his warning seriously, they all ran away, causing the young void walker to chuckle darkly.
"NAH, LET ME GO FUCKING FAUNUS LOVER!!!"
He then casually snapped Cardin's other wrist like a twig, causing everyone to wince once more. Elridian dropped the bully ignoring his screams of pain, then faced the rabbit Faunus who stood there stiff as a board with fear in her eyes. "You." He points to Velvet, who looks at him, shaking, "what is your name?"
"V-V-Velvet.." The girl replied with fear in her voice.
He walked up to her, causing Velvet to look away in fear, but all the fear vanished as soon as she felt a hand scratching her left ear, hitting the right spot sending the rabbit Faunus into complete bliss.
"You're a second year, correct?"
"Y-y-yeah," the girl replied, almost groaning in pleasure at the sensation she felt on her left ear.
"You could've dealt with them quickly, so didn't you?" He asked with a hint of anger behind his voice.
"I-I don't know. I guess I just didn't wanna start any problems...I don't like hurting people.." She replied innocently.
The scratching stopped causing the girl to pout, but when she looked into his eyes, the fear came back.
"Your reasoning is absolutely retarded. If I were you, I would've gut them like a fish and then beat them with one of their severed arms. Do not let your timidness get in the way or otherwise.." He looked at Cardin, then back at her, "you could end up like him."
She stiffened but nodded.
"Good now," he takes off his belt, causing the girl to look away with a blush on her face, then turns around to face Cardin with a sadistic grin on his face, "im impressed your still conscious," he said while wrapping his belt around the teen's throat and tighten it causing Cardin to barely breathe, "now since you treat a Faunus like shit it's only fair you get the same treatment as they did" he then began to pull on the belt like it was a leash.
This action caused many to gasp. Many disapproved of it, while others didn't mind it thinking the Faunus hater deserved it. While team RWBYE and JNPR didn't like Cardin's actions, they certainly disapproved of Elridian's.
"Uh, guys...shouldn't we stop him.." Jaune asked.
"If you've got a death wish, sure," Yang replied
"It's better if we let him prove his point," Blake added. Though she disapproved of her boyfriend's methods, she couldn't help but smile at him, protecting another faunus.
"Ok, El, I think thats enough.." Said, Summer.
He dragged Cardin around like a ragdoll, and the boy desperately attempted to untie the belt around his throat but was stopped each time by a kick to the face and the fact his wrists were snapped like twigs. This went on for nearly a minute until Glynda showed up, much to Elridian's disappointment. "MR. RATH, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!"
The void walker looked at the telekinetic with a grin on his face and knocked Cardin out with a swift kick to his face, then let his hold on the belt go. "I was just putting a wild animal in its place. What were you doing? It took you an awfully long time for you to get here. Why is that?" He replied with a glare of his own.
The area went silent for a moment but was broken. "My office now," Glynda said, almost yelling.
"Gladly," he then walked with her toward her office, and Cardin was taken to the infirmary.
"I forget how brutal he can get sometimes..." Jaune said after a while.
"We do as well..." Ruby replied as she looked at Cardin being carried away. "He's usually so sweet with us..."
"And lets keep it that way..and just hope no one else is stupid enough to piss him off today," Weiss added.
Everyone else agreed with her statement and left the table as they were no longer in the mood to eat.
