Flashback

When he was born into this world, he didn't expect anything. He saw the memories of all the previous Void Beasts. They served the Singularity Inheritors before the boy known as 'Elridian Vero Narakas,' the son of the Void king and Queen, the tyrannical rulers of the Void Walker Empire. The species were known for their love of all things chaotic. They were renowned warriors feared throughout the universe for millions of years. He would've been proud to serve such a species; Void beasts were created to be servants, after all. However, when he saw the incalculable amount of memories of the ones before him, Wrath couldn't help but feel dread and despair.

For as long as there were Singularity Inheritors, the Void Beasts were mistreated. They weren't treated as loyal servants as their creators but treated like trash.

Actually, no trash was putting it lightly.

The horror committed against them was downright unspeakable, unfathomable, and disgusting. The young Wrath was terrified of his creator; would the boy do the same thing as the previous Inheritors, would he suffer, would he wish for his end?

To his surprise, that was not his fate. His creator was gentle, kind, and understanding. His creator treated him as a living being, a fate none before him ever received. Wrath and Elridian quickly grew close throughout his few months of life. He was there when the boy took his first life, experienced his first crush, was there through his first hardships, and had his first pet.

Rose was what Elridian called the creature. It was called a Wolf; it was a tiny furry animal that stood on all fours. It had red eyes and black and silver fur. When he first laid eyes on it, he felt something within him heat up. Wrath couldn't understand the feeling or the need to pet the tiny creature, but when his hand met Roses's fur. He couldn't help but admire how soft it was, and he continued to pet it with Elridian.

By the end of that day, he adored Rose. Whenever he got the chance to play, pet, or relax with her, he enjoyed it. So when he found out about her death, did he remember that Elridian was one of a kind. The other Void walkers?

They needed to be exterminated.

Wrath walked through the palace halls but stopped when he heard crying. It sounded like Elridian; he sensed his anger and sadness.

He ran toward his creator's location and found Elridian in his room in the corner. The boy is ordinarily cheerful, confident, and strong-willed, but what he saw wasn't Elridian. He had his arms wrapped around his legs, chin resting on his knees, and saw tears running down his face.

"Master?" Wrath said in a soft voice while making his way toward Elridian.

Elridian looked at Wrath and ran at him, enveloping the Void Beast in a tight hug.

This action surprised Wrath, but he hugged back nonetheless. "Master?" He said again with more worry in his voice.

"D-dad...killed Rose..." Elridian said, fighting through the tears.

Wrath's heart shattered. He felt grief, but it was overpowered by the rage that could turn the planet into ash.

He attempted to break away from Elridian's hold but was unsuccessful as his creator's hold only tightened. "NO, I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO AND I WON'T LOSE YOU TOO!!!" Elridian shouted, tears running down his at a faster rate.

"But.."

"Please don't do it..you'll just die like Rose..." Elridian said through tears.

The boy knew Wrath would've attempted something stupid. He loved Rose almost as much as Elridian, so to hear such an innocent creature be killed so causally infuriated him.

He wanted the Void King's blood stained on his body with entrail hanging out for all to see, but one of them had to be the one of reason.

"Ok, as you wish, master.." He said with reluctance.

Elridian frowned and broke the hug. The boy looked up at Wrath. "What did I say about calling me that?" He asked sternly.

"Not to call you that..." Wrath looked away in shame.

"Thats right." He wiped away his tears. "From now on, you'll call me Elridian understand?" He said with a fierce look.

He looked at Elridian, stunned, and didn't say anything for a few moments. "Yes...E-Elridian, I understand." He smiled at his creator.

Elridian smiled back. "Good! Now," the boy picked up his sword and looked back at Wrath, "Rose wouldn't want me to be sad all day. She'd want me to live on and get stronger!! So let's go train!!!" The inheritor said with enthusiasm returning to his usual self.

Wrath always did admire how quickly the boy could bring himself out of the darkness. Yes, he wasn't fully healed, but he needed to remain strong.

After all, he was Elridian Vero Narakas; nothing could keep him down.

Present

Wrath was currently at Juniors club, watching over the people indulging themselves with the Rose on his mind. It's been a decade since her death. He wished he could've watched her grow; she would've been a magnificent creature to be held.

A small part of him thought she probably would've died either way due to the circumstances back home, but the more he thought about it didn't matter anymore.

All there was Elridian and the mission. All he needed was Elridian, and he needed to help him complete the task.

Kill Ryzorin, his Singularity, and the Champions, then rebuild the Void Walker Empire in Elridian's image.

"Sir," a man said.

Wrath turned to see it was Junior. "Yes?" he asked.

"The Dragon Bloods didn't take the deal. Shall I order the hit?" He asked

A smile came to Wrath. "No, Im in a relatively good mood tonight. I'll deal with them tonight. You and the men enjoy themselves."

"You got it, boss, happy hunting," Junior smirked.

Wrath nodded and made his way toward the Dragon Bloods' base of operations.

Ten minutes later, he was outside of their base. It was located on the outskirts of the city. The building was reasonably large. From what his scouts had informed him, all the gang members lived here, which was idiotic if you asked him, but he was glad they were stupid enough to stick to one location.

It made things easier on him.

Wrath causally walks towards the base without a care in the world, and then a feral grin appears on his face as he sees a total of ten gang members by the entrance of the base playing a game of cards.

If they were his men, he would have beat their asses for slacking on the job.

One of the men noticed him walking toward them and quickly got up, aiming his rifle at Wrath. The others followed his example.

"WHO THE-" The gang member didn't finish his sentence as in the blink of an eye, Wrath's hand was on the man's face and, without effort, ripped his head off, spilling blood everywhere.

The others would've fired but were quickly slaughtered soon after, staining the small area with blood and gore.

All hell broke loose as Wrath was ruthlessly slaughtering everyone at the base, enjoying their screams, their pathetic attempts to riddle him with bullets or try to engage him in close quarters combat, only to end in humiliating deaths with their insides being torn away from their bodies, and blood splattered everywhere.

It felt like old times back home when he would slaughter Ryzorin forces.

Wrath felt at home.

Wrath sighed, feeling content with the elimination of the Dragon Blood gang. He chuckled at their deaths. All this could've been avoided if they had submitted to Elridian's will like the White Fang and Roman, but then again, they had the intelligence to make the logical decision.

The Dragon Bloods didn't.

With Elridian, Neo, and Atherius

"So you've been a busy boy, huh?" Atherius responded after being told nearly everything that happened.

Elridian smirked. "You could say that?" Holding Neo's hand.

Atherius looked at the woman known as Neo and back at the Void Walker. "I didn't think you were into older women," Atherius grinned before taking a swig of alcohol.

"I didn't either until I met Neo here and the others," he said, kissing Neo's hand. Neo smiled while resting her head on his shoulder.

Atherius still couldn't get his head wrapped around the teen dating five women, but he guessed it was the logical choice considering his situation. "As long as you genuinely love them, I see no issue," he took another swig before continuing, "so how far are you along with the Sentinels training?"

"Neo here is the closest to unlocking the Sentinel form Id say give her a week. Team RWBYE another month, and Team JNPR two months except for Pyrrha. I say a month or less for her."

Atherius looked impressed. "Seems like you've got yourself some worthy individuals," a thought came to his, "how much do they know?"

Elrid thought for a moment before answering. "They know about Ryzorin and the Champions, but other than that, they're pretty much in the dark," he answered truthfully.

He raised an eyebrow. "Why's that? I would've thought they'd known everything."

(They're too soft.) Neo replied with a smile.

Atherius gave her a confused look.

"The White fang and Roman work for me, the most wanted individuals on Remnant. How do you think that would pan out?"

Atherius frowned, knowing that he made a good point. Even if the boy did do a lot of good, people tend to only focus on th negative. "I see your point."

Elridian nodded. "Now then, I will need your assistance with a few things."

"Such as?" Atherius asked, putting his helmet back on.

He had raised his fist and raised his index finger. "First aid me in training my sentinels, especially when I begin to create the Void Beasts, and also because you're a far better fighter than me."

Neo looked at Elridian, dumbfounded at his last comment. It was hard to believe someone was more skilled than Elridian.

Atherius nodded. He could understand that request; creating an army of Void Beast takes a significant amount of time, but that time can be lessened if the Singularity Inheritor themselves summoned the creatures. The process is still tedious, and he should know, considering he saw Ryzorin do it daily when he used to serve him.

He raised his middle finger. "Aid Wrath with whatever he needs. He is only one person, after all.

Atherius nodded again.

Elridian raised his middle. "Lastly, we need all the information you can give us on the Champions. Im aware of their abilities and backstories, but we need to know their strengths, weaknesses, and what makes them tick. I can't allow my Sentinels to go in blind."

"I can do that."

Elridian smiled and stood up. "Im looking forward to our partnership," the took held out his hand.

Atherius grinned under his helmet and shook his hand. "Likewise."

"Jeez, is everyone from your universe so huge?!" Summer asked, still baffled by Atherius's height.

"Indeed. Death-Seeker will probably be around seven feet tall when he fully matures," Soul replied.

"Shit.."

They broke the handshake.

"Now, let's get started." Said Elridian as he would now begin the process of creating his army.

Ryzorin

"Good, the three of you have made significant progress through the past months," he looked at Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury with a grin, "here soon, you will be granted the power I promise, just one more month," the oldest Void Walker assured them.

Cinder smirked; she saw the power of his Champion. It was unlike anything she's ever seen before. It had so much untapped potential, so many applications, and so much potency.

She witnessed this power from his Champion of Madness, known as 'Yender.' Cinder didn't like the bitch but had to admit the crazy woman surpassed her in every conceivable way.

She was fascinated with how the crazy woman could bend their reality to her will. Cinder saw how she turned entire forests into barren wastelands, turned Beowolves into rabbits, and erased entire buildings. What made it more unbelievable was that it wasn't even a fraction of what she could do. It was all fascinating to see, and it made the amber-eyed woman wonder what her unique Champion ability would be, including Emeralds and Mercury's.

"I aim to please Ryzor," Cinder said seductively, causing Emerald and Mercury to look at her with comically wide eyes.

Ryzorin raised an eyebrow at the nickname. Nonetheless, he smirked. "Good cause now Im pushing your training to new heights," then a creature behind appeared, causing the Champions in training to move uneasily.

"Um, the fuck is that?" Mercury asked, gesturing to the massive creature behind him.

Its body was black with red lines running along its body. It was tall, standing at eight feet, and had a lean yet muscular body with bone-like armor covering its face, chest, lower arms, and shins with more red symbols marking the bone armor.

Ryzorin didn't move. "This is one of my newest creations. 'Stalkers' is a hybrid of Grimm and Void Beasts. They're designed to kill Huntsmen/Huntresses, but the problem is I haven't tested them on the field yet," he grinned sinisterly.

The three of them gulped.

Noticing their fear, he elaborated further. "Don't worry, though. It won't kill you. It'll just make you wish you were dead," he snapped his fingers.

In the blink of an eye, the Stalker was up in the air with its fist cocked back, then descended on the three at impressive speeds.

They quickly moved out the way before being turned into puddles of gore.

"HOLY SHIT" Emerald exclaimed as her eyes bulged out of her sockets and she saw the ten-meter wide crater the Stalker created.

Ryzorin felt pride at the three shiting themselves.

The Stalker aimed its sights on Mercury, rushing at him with thirty-inch claws popping out of his wrists, slashing at the grey-haired teen.

Mercury, thinking quickly, moved out of the way, shooting several projectiles at the Stalker.

Only one of them managed to hit before the Stalker Vanished into thin air appearing beside Emerald.

"EMERALD WATCH-" before he could warn her, the Stalker rammed its fist into the mint green-haired girl causing her to fly toward his direction. S

Cinder quickly shot several projectiles at the Stalker's face but missed their target before they could land.

It appeared before her, and she quickly blocked the Stalker's strikes with her swords.

Mercury seeing an opening, enhances his body with an Augmentation Sign, runs toward the Stalker, then jumps to land a powerful sidekick to the Stalker's cranium, slightly stunning the creature enough for Cinder to impale it through the chest, causing the Stalkers to release an ear-piercing screech that causes the three to cover their ears.

Emerald, fighting through the pain, shifted her weapons into sickles and charged at the Stalker. Then when she got close enough, she swung her blades at the Stalker's head.

The blades sliced through the Stalker's skull. Its arms dropped to the sides and collapsed to the ground.

The three of them looked at one another, smirking at the creature's defeat.

Cinder looked at Ryzorin with an Arrogant smirk, but it soon faded when she saw that the Void Walker only grinned. "You guys didn't think I'd make it that easy for you?" He gestured for them to look back at the creature.

Their eyes widened when they heard growling and looked to see that the Stalker's face was regenerating at alarming rates.

"Salem and I are still working out the kinks, but the regenerative capabilities have surpassed our expectations," he turned around," have fun killing it, and don't come back until it's dead." Then he walked away, leaving the three to fight against the Stalker.

"That ass!" Emerald snarled.

After that, all hell broke loose as the Stalker was twice as powerful and intelligent. The three of them had to use everything at their disposal to defeat the creature. They've severed its limbs several times, set it on fire, riddled it with projectiles, crushed it, and blown it up, but it would regenerate within seconds.

Thirty minutes later, they managed to slay the creature by decapitating it using chaos energy.

Cinder panted heavily with her clothes covered in the dirt and blood with some parts of it torn. "H-How come...w-we didn't...think to do that...in the first place?!" Cinder said through pants.

"To be...fair...it could regenerate...limbs," Mercury stood up straight, just as exhausted as Cinder, "who said it couldn't regenerate from decapitation," he stated.

"I-Im...just glad...it's dead," said emerald, panting.

The other two nodded in agreement.

After a few moments, they fully recovered but were still sore from getting thrown against objects, slammed against the ground, kicked, and punched in multiple areas and from slashes.

If it weren't for the enhancements of Signs, physical training, and boost in power, they would have been defeated long ago as their aura shattered long ago.

"Let's head back." Cinder demanded.

The others nodded.

Ten minutes later, they entered the castle.

"Wow, you three look like shit," Kalheerus commented before chuckling.

Cinder violently twitched, Mercury scoffed, and Emerald glared at the Hydian. "Fuck off, furball!" Emerald growled with her fist clenched.

"Awe, did we piss you off, little girl," Yender said mockingly before laughing at threes expense.

"I swear one of these days imma slit your throat," Cinder said, threatening the pale woman snarling.

Yender eyes beamed. In an instant, Yender was inches away from Cinder's face giving her a seductive smile. "Do it then. I want to feel the edge of your blade press against my delicate throat, then feel the incredible sensation of my skin being sliced as my blood squirts all over your face..." Yender's eyes glow brighter through each word spoken.

Everyone else sweatdropped at her disturbing version of pleasure.

"As much as I'd love to see that, I need to discuss something with Cinder," said Ryzorin appearing in front of them.

Yender's eyes glowed. "MASTER!!!" She shouted as she made her way toward Ryzorin, smashing her lips against his hungrily.

Cinder's left eye began to twitch.

Kalheerus noticed this and had a wide toothy grin. "Awe, looky here. I think Cinder is jealous," the cat-man chuckled.

"Fuck off."

"Didn't deny it."

Cinder glared at him. "I don't have to justify myself to you oversized house pet," she snarled.

Before Kalheerus could reply, Ryzorin broke the kiss, much to Yender's disappointment. "Alright, that's enough, you two, you both can kill each other later," he turned around, "come now, Cinder," he demanded.

Cinder quickly made her way to Ryzorin's side.

They didn't speak for a while until they got inside a room.

"So, what did you need, Ryzor?" She asked, sitting on the bed.

He leaned against a wall. "It's about my brother."

Cinder raised an eyebrow.

Taking this as a sign to continue. "What about Elridian?"

"Turns out he's working with Ozpin."

Cinder's eyes widen. "What about his other allies? Kalheerus said he had others working with him." She pointed out.

He nodded. "Still don't know how they are yet, but they aren't the ones we need to worry about," Ryzorin replied ominously, "it's his damn servant, Wrath," he growled.

"The Void beast?" She was confused by Ryzorin's anger towards it.

"Yes, Wrath is Forty-fours equal. He'll be the second-largest threat we have to worry about, and the third will be his Sentinels."

Cinder sighed. "Of course, he would have Sentinels.."

"He wouldn't be my brother if he weren't problematic," he bitterly chuckled. Ryzorin made his way toward his bed and laid down. "You should get yourself cleaned up and rest. We have a long day tomorrow," he said, closing his eyes.

Cinder nodded, but before she got up from his bed, she smirked, getting an idea. She crawled toward him seductively, having a mischievous look on her face.

Ryzorin felt Cinder get on top of him and opened his eyes, seeing Cinder was inches away from his face. "Are you trying to seduce me?" He said with a smirk.

"And what if I am?" She replied, placing her hand on his face gently. Then she leaned in, capturing his lip with hers.

For a few minutes, they kissed passionately, but Cinder broke the kiss. "Would you care to join me in the shower?" She said with a seductive tone.

He smirked, and without saying anything, they left the room.
