Hello my friends, I'm back with another chapter of Black Roses. Oh my, not really sure what went down in the reviews but damn. That person really hated me and my story. Like I said before the flames don't really bother me, unfortunately I read that review on a day I came home really stressed and annoyed from work, college, and allergies (Pollen is such a *****) so by reading the flame at the end of the day it added fuel the flame that was already erupting in me. I regretted the decision I made the next morning. So to make things better I tried to retrieve the review back from my Gmail so I can rewrite it BUT I did not realize till right now that gmail deletes trash after 30 days. So yea, shite, I do remember the name of the review takethisbigfatL... I think. Sorry, my friend, your review was honest and you expressed how you felt about my story and I should not have deleted. I apologize for that.
Now onto the second thing I want to get out is about the hate I've been hearing not just for my story but for every story in this website. is a website where people can create their own stories using the characters of Movies, Games, Anime, etc. Changing the characters personalities and how they act compared to their original versions. There are stories where Goku is a drug lord, and Godzilla as a happy little toon boy, and much more. Fanfics and crossovers give so many routes to writers to write. Why keep a character in a bubble with all their default personalities and powers. True that the original is better and will always be, but that should not stop people from popping that bubble and make some changes.
I don't believe that a bad story exists in this website; I believe that every story in this website is great and has the potential to be much more. People who don't like to read something different than what they originally read, in my opinion, won't have many options on this website. Then again I could be wrong. I did mention that Black would be OC in this story because it would help make this story work. And the reason on how Future Gohan is on Remnant and how someone lowly like Salem can hurt a god like Black along with hit nerf will also be explained further in the story, so I'm not really sure why people start judging an ongoing story before it could be finished.
Now that's all I wanted to say. Not really sure that will help those who hate different change their minds a bit. Oh well, that's up to them; now let's get this story started.

Black flew across the night sky making his way to where Roman and Neo were waiting for him. Finally spotting them by an abandoned building he descended down. Some of the White Fang members jumped when he landed. "Ah Black, glad you could join us." Roman lit his cigar and sucked in a bit before blowing the smoke out.
"What is it this time?" Black asked.
"Oh pretty moody are we." Roman said in an amused tone. Black still held his usual angry look. "Okay not one for jokes. I forgot, whelp then why don't we get down to business then." Roman placed a map on the table. Black, Neo and the other Fang members gathered around. "There's a Schnee dust convoy on its way here. We're going to give them a helping hand and deliver the cargo to Vale for them. There will be four trucks this time. Atlesian knights in each truck. They also got three armed jeeps one in the front, mid and back of the convoy. Neo here is going to be the innocent injured lost girl in this operation." The multi-haired girl grinned. "While she distracts the soldiers you all," Pointing at the White Fang. "Will place some EMP charges on the back of the truck frying those knights inside. Black as silently as you could take out the first jeep in the back then take out the second one, Neo will take care of the front one."
"What about the drivers?" A Fang member asked.
"Well my animal friend, I'll be using this," Roman held the prototype rifle. "The Aura Rifle, I found out that I could make the shots in this gun more precise. I'll be using it to take out the drivers." He grabbed the map and folded it up before placing it in his coat. "If all goes to plan then we'll grab the cargo and take it to the Bullhead and fly back before anyone else shows up." They all nodded and headed to the Bullhead except for Black. "Come on kid, that cargo isn't going to steal itself." Roman patted Black in the back. The black haired teen stared at Roman's leaving form before looking to the night sky. "Knowing Gohan he'll show up again." His fist clenched tighter an angry look appeared on his face. Reaching up he placed his mask on then his hood before taking off to the sky.
As a couple hours passed the heist group waited for the convoy. "Man how long till they get here?" A Fang member asked clearly bored of waiting. "I don't know, but if I have to wait any longer I'm going to lose my mind." Behind a tree Black was sitting in a meditation position. Practicing his Aura and Ki senses. A twig hit him in the cheek. Ignoring it he continued his meditation. Another twig hit him again. Then another and another, finally having enough Black stood up and glared towards Neo's direction. She grinned and waved. "That annoying little midget!" Charging a small ki orb he was about to fire it at her till a voice came on the comms. "Black put the dangerous orb away and Neo stop annoying him." Neo rolled her eyes and rested her chin on her palm. "Man can't leave you two unattended for one second without trying to kill each other." Black scoffed and turned back around.
Right before Roman was about to place the binoculars down he saw incoming lights. "Heads up the convoy is here." Soon after he said that the heist group all got up and readied themselves. "Showtime Neo."
The ice cream girl nodded and jumped off the branch she was on and then transformed herself into her a girl with black pigtails, green eyes, and tatter clothes with bruises here and there. She limped her way to the road. The driver in the front of the convoy saw her and immediately stopped when he saw her. The rest of the convoy stopped as well. "Two soldiers exited the jeep while the third stayed on the gun. "Hey kid you alright?" The soldier approached Neo to which she weakly looked up. She tried to respond but gave a dry sound. "She needs water. Quick give me your canteen." The second soldier handed the canteen to his partner who offered it to the girl.
In the back of the convoy, the soldiers in the jeep waited in bore. "What's the hold up?" Their faces became confused when they saw someone walk up to them from the side. "Who the hell is this?" From the gunner the soldier pointed the mounted gun at the man. "Hey stop right there." The man stopped and looked up at the gun pointed at him. "Hey isn't that Dark Saiya-." Instantly Black reached down and threw the jeep far away. White Fang members gather behind him as he made his way to the second jeep.
The driver of the third truck saw walk by Black and was about to honk the horn when all of a sudden an orange laser pierced his head. Approaching the second jeep Black lifted in a gun motion and fired three ki beams killing the three soldiers inside. Black then jumped on top of the last jeep and snapped the neck of the gunner.
Neo still drinking the canteen peaked. Black gave nod, signaling her that it was done. She stopped drinking and wiped her mouth. A smirk appeared on her lips as her eyes shifted from pink and brown. Using the canteen she hit the soldier to the left then spin kicking the one to her right. She rushed up and kneed the right soldier in the face knocking him out. She then turned and pulled out her umbrella from inside her tattered clothes and swiped the remaining soldier off his feet then unsheathing her blade and stabbing it in his chest. A sadistic smile spread across her lips as she saw the fear in the soldier's eyes.
Black noticed the soldier behind Neo twitch a bit. Walking over to him he grabbed the soldier by the neck and squeezed till a snap was heard. "Don't leave them unconscious finish the job next time." He said which Neo responded by sticking her tongue at him. Tossing the corpse away Black walked to one of the Atlesian knights that that were being pulled out from the trucks. "A machine that fights for humans." Black's fought these machines many times before, a reminder of the creation man could create that could bring the destruction of this world if the wrong people were to get a hand on them. Killing these Atlesian soldiers and the humans and faunas that have a target placed on them is not enough. In order to stop these mortals from causing further harm to this planet and restore it to its original beauty he absolutely must speed up the process of his project.
The sound of someone groaning in pain caught his attention. Looking to his right he saw one of the soldiers trying to crawl away. "We missed one." Lifting his hand he fired a ki blast. Neo smirked at the small explosion. Thinking that the job was done she was about to go and help out with the dust cargo only to stop when she saw Saiyaman in the air with the injured solider over his shoulder. "You monsters. You killed them." Saiyaman growled.
Neo held her glare while Black looked at him from the corner of his eye. They then noticed that some of the White Fang members that were with them were all unconscious on the ground. Saiyanman placed the soldier down. "Sir, you should get out of here and report this to General Ironwood." The soldier nodded and then got into one of the trucks and drove back. Saiyaman looked back at the two with anger. "I'll make you pay." He said with clenched fists. He dashed at the two and pulled back his fist but before he could reach them, Saiyaman was blasted into the trees.
From the hill Roman panted heavily along with several White Fang members. "Thanks for the assistance. Now let's hurry and grab all the cargo we can before Saiyaman gets back up."
Gohan shook his head and repositioned his helmet. "What the heck was that?" Whatever hit him didn't hurt but it sure did catch him off guard. Flying back up he saw a bullhead flying down to the trucks. "Oh no you don't." He was about to fly ahead to stop them but quickly dodged to the side when he sensed Dark Saiyaman. Gohan narrowed his eyes, Dark Saiyaman responded by pointing his ki blade at him. From his ki blade Black fired several hi blast at the hero. Saiyaman quickly dodged them all before flying straight at him, going Super Saiyan in the process.
A shockwave was heard from the distance. This signaled the conscious White Fang members to speed up the loading. "Come on fellas we don't have the time to slow down." Roman looked at the sky to see the fight Black was having against Saiyaman, unfortunately, he couldn't see a thing only shockwaves. "Damn they're fast." Neo nodded in agreement.
"Sir, we loaded the cargo." A White Fang member said. "Took you rodents long enough," He reached up and called Black through the comms.
"Hey kid, cargo is loaded. Finish up your little fight and meet us back in the hanger." Black ducked under a fist and gave an uppercut of his own. Saiyaman leaned back and gave a side kick to which Black blocked with his forearm. They continued to exchange blows as both tried to get the upper hand. Their fast movements stirred the wind around them and caused the trees to sway back and forth.
Black disappeared from Saiyaman's sights before reappearing and planting his foot to his gut sending him flying down to the ground. The crash blew some trees away. Black flew straight down, his eyes then widen when Saiyaman fired a powerful blue ki blast. "The Kamehame!" Crossing his arms he blocked the attack. Black gritted his teeth as the blast continued to push him back up. Saiyaman poured more energy into his attack.
Black's aura surged around him as he used all his might to push back the attack. Veins appeared on his temple and with a roar he powered up more and brought his arms to his side. His exploding aura canceled out the ki blast. To his surprise Saiyaman appeared in front of him and gave a heavy sucker punch to the stomach. Black's eyes widen in pain, his aura disappearing. A mixture of anger, excitement, and slight pleasure formed on his face. Saiyaman continued his assault punching Black in the face and gut not letting him anytime to retaliate. Pulling back his fist he launched a blow to Black's face only for it to be caught by his wrist.
Black gritted his teeth. "Damn Saiyan!" He gave his own sucker punch which caused Saiyaman to cough up saliva. Raising his hand Black created a big size ki orb and hurled it at Saiyaman sending both him and the orb to the ground.
Gohan used his arms to push back the orb. His aura flared up as he slowed down. With one final push he sent the orb to the sky. He flipped onto the ground but then immediately jumped back when the Masked man came straight at him with his ki blade. Pulling the ki blade from the ground he dashed towards Gohan and unleashed several combos of kicks, punches, and slashes. Gohan in his Super Saiyan form was able to dodge and counter these attacks with only some difficulty.
Saiyaman managed to get by Black's defenses and gave a hard kick to the face sending crashing into several trees. Using his hands Black flipped back to his feet and flared up his aura. Dashing forward he charged a ki orb in his hand. Saiyaman did the same. As the two were within reaching distance they pushed their attacks forward, the orbs collided and caused an enormous explosion which blew away the trees and shook the ground.
Ruby shot up when she felt the whole building shake. Her teammates were also woken up by the sudden tremor. "Whoa, what's going on?" Yang asked.
Blake checked out their dorm room and saw the other students that were also woken from the tremor. "We're not the only one that felt it."
"And I was having a nice dream too." Weiss rubbed her eyes. Team JNRP walked up to them. "You guys felt it too." Jaune said.
"Yup, though that felt a little stronger than the usual Remnant quakes we get around here." Yang said.
"This will most likely be on the news tomorrow." Ren said.
"Ren lets have some pancakes since we're all awake now." Nora excitingly said.
"Nora it's much too early for breakfast." Pyrrha replied.
"Did someone say pancakes?!" Lewis popped from behind causing the group to jump a bit. "Lew-Lewis please stop doing that." Weiss said. The cheery boy giggled. "Sorry."
"Where's Alli, Gohan, and Black?" Ruby asked not seeing any of them.
"Oh Alli's is right here." He turned to the side and pointed at his back. The group leaned to the side as they saw Alli holding onto Lewis's shoulders with her legs curled up to her chest, trembling in fear. "I guess she's not used to tremors, huh." Yang commented. Pyrrha walked over to her and petted the frighten faunas girl. "Alli it's okay. It was just a small tremor." The scared faunas looked towards the smiling redhead. Tears began to fall. "Pyrrha!" She jumped off and latched herself onto Pyrrha causing her to fall on her bottom. "There, there." She cooed the frighten girl petting her in the process. Weiss and Ren walked over to help calm the Faunas girl down. "Hey Lewis, where's Black and Gohan?" Yang asked.
Lewis responded with a shrug. "They weren't in the room when we woke up." Blake's eyes narrowed. The group exchanged looks wondering where their friends could have gone. Ruby unconsciously looked out the window.
Back in the forest, the dust in the air surrounded the area where Saiyaman and Dark Saiyaman fought. Suddenly a golden burst alive blowing the dust away. Gohan looked left and right trying to find where the Masked man has gone. Flying back down he searched the area a bit more. "Damn it, he got away, again." Gohan looked to the side. Seeing the dead bodies of the Atlas soldiers caused his anger to rise. "He's going to the pay for this." He pulled out a beacon and placed it the center of the crime scene for the police to come and arrest the unconscious White Fang members. He then jumped and flew back to Beacon hoping he could get some sleep after all this.
In a cargo bay the White Fang unload the dust crates from the Bullhead. "Man could've gone way smoother if Saiyaman hadn't shown up. Oh well can't win them all." Roman lit a cigar and sucked in a bit. "Hey Neo, that Aura rifle sure did come in handy tonight." His mute companion gave a nod from a box she was sitting on. "Got to blast Saiyaman away." Neo spread her arms out expressing her amazement of what he did. "Finally got him back for ruining all my heists." Roman said with a smirk.
"Can I have a try next time?" Neo asked in sign language. Roman gave a confused look. "Going back to using sign language? Where's your notebook?"
"Lost it."
"I see. Alright then, next time we go on another heist you'll get to use the Aura rifle. But I warn you it's got a real kick to it." Neo waved her hand in front of her with an unworried look. "Don't worry I can han-." She fell back in surprise when Black suddenly appeared before her.
Steam rose from Black's body as half of his disguise was burned off leaving burn marks all over his left arm and chest. "Wow, you're…smoking." Black ripped the remaining cloth from his body. Roman sighed, "I had a feeling that your fights with Saiyaman were going to start to turn out like this." He puffed out smoke from his mouth. "It was a good choice on my behalf that I had extra disguises made in case you would damage the ones who have now."
"Where are my clothes?" Black asked.
Roman pointed with his thumb to the armored jeep. "Say Black, when your disguise was ruined Saiyaman didn't happen to see your face, did he?"
"No, I escaped before he had the chance to."
Roman wiped the imaginary sweat from his forehead. "Whew, that saves us trouble." Neo popped her head out from behind the box a slight bump was seen on her head from the fall. "Why do you keep on appearing out of nowhere?!"
"I don't see what the issue is." His answer caused Neo to tremble in anger to which Black ignore but secretly took in the satisfaction of seeing a bump on the midget's head.
The sound of high heels echoed the hanger. Turning to face the source of the sound Black glared at who it was. Cinder stood there with an annoyed and slightly angry expression with Emerald and Mercury behind her. "Again you disobey. I specifically told you not to engage Saiyaman anymore. Your recent battles have caused him to increase his patrols around Vale. Do I need to remind you again who is in control here?" Cinders eyes glowed. Black continued to glare and was about to say something till someone else beat him to it.
"Hey, hey hey, cut the kid some slack. He wasn't entirely disobeying you. He was under my orders to come along on this heist. And if he didn't, Neo and I along with a hand full of the White Fang would've been captured by Saiyaman. Besides he fought him outside the city no real harm done there." Black glanced at Roman not sure why he was defending him.
Cinder looked between the two. Black held his usual expression while Roman smirked with his cigar in his mouth. "Fine, I'll look past this. But disobey me again and I won't be so forgiving. Now come I need you for some assignations, we need to clear up some loose ends before we can commence phase 2."
"Actually I can't let you take him." Roman said.
"Excuse me?"
"Oh I'm not saying that in some rebellious way. I just need him for a couple more robberies that I have planned. And since Saiyaman is patrolling more at night I need Black as insurance just in case we run into him like we did tonight. Roman explained.
Leaning over to Cinder. "Besides I think he likes working with us hence why we're making great progress in our robberies." Roman leaned away and walked up next to Black. "I mean just look at this smile." Roman used his finger to curve Black lip upwards. Neo on her tippy toes did the same on the other side together they formed a forced smile on Black face.
Black eyes widen, he was utterly surprised and confused. From behind Cinder Mercury looked away as he tried to suppress a laugh, Emerald on the other hand just raised a brow.
Cinder serious expression never left her face. "Very well, you can keep him. But if things get out of hand there will be very serious consequences for you Roman."
"Why of course. There are always consequences for everything. I should know I'm a crook after all." Roman smirked remained on his face. Cinder gave one last look to Black before walking away with Emerald and Mercury following behind.
Roman leaned to the side to see if she was gone. "Whew looks like she's gone." Taking a step back Black looked at the man in front of him confusingly. "Why…did you do that?"
Roman and Neo glance at each other. "Do what?"
"Defend me."
"Oh simple, I don't like how she treats you. Thinking you're some sort of pet of hers. If there's something the three of us have in common is that we despise her." Black glanced at Neo who winked at him. "That we do." Black looked away.
Roman yawned and stretched his arms. "Man what a night. I'm going to go take a nap. You should also get going," Roman reached over and ruffled Black's hair. The action surprised the Kaioshin. "Wouldn't want you falling asleep in class now would we?" Roman then walked away. "Hey Neo have you seen my chocolate ice cream bar?" Neo shrugged and followed behind.
Black stared at the two's leaving form. He unconsciously reached up and placed his hand on his head. "What…was that?"
"I can't believe I let him escape again." Gohan thought as he walked through the halls of Beacon now dressed in his normal wear. "I all those soldiers he killed," Images of the dead soldiers he failed to save came to his mind. "I can't let that happen again." Clenching his fists in anger. When he entered the school he noticed that a lot of students awake and talking about something. "What's going on?"
"Gohan!" Someone called out. To his right he saw Yang and the rest of his friends walked over to him. "Oh hey guys."
"Where were you? Lewis said you weren't in bed when the Remnantquake happened." Weiss asked.
"Remnantquake? There was no Remnantquake Dark Saiyaman and I were just…oh." Gohan scratched the back of his head in a nervous act. "Oh I couldn't sleep so I went to the library to read a bit. Most of the books fell off the shelves after the tremor so I offered to help a bit."
"You were reading in the middle of the night?" Yang raised a brow.
"It's a good way to get tired." Blake stared at the half breed her eyes narrowing.
"Sounds like something you would do." Pyrrha said. Gohan leaned to the side when he noticed something or someone holding on top her back. "A-Alli?"
The squirrel faunas peered over the red head's shoulder. "H-Hi Gohan."
"Why are you-."
"She got scared during the Remnantquake." Yang answered for him.
"Oh, sorry I wasn't there." He apologized.
"I-Its f-f-fine. Pyrrha a-and the other help me c-calm down a bit." Gohan smiled knowing he had good friends that he could count on whenever he wasn't there. "Say Gohan," The Saiyan hybrid turned to Ruby. "Was Black also with you?"
"No why?"
"Black was also gone from your dorm when the Remnantquake happened. We wondered if he was with you." Ren answered.
A look of surprise appeared on Gohan's face. "Black was gone too?"
"The mystery is still unsolved. Come, my faithful assistant, we shall search for your leader!" Nora said while holding a magnifying glass. "Aye aye, detective Nora!" Lewis said also wearing a detective attire.
Gohan and the rest sweatdropped as their two hyper friends actively looked around for clues. "They're quite active this early in the day." Weiss said.
"Yes they are." Ren and Gohan simultaneously said. Glancing at each other they sighed knowing each other's pain. From the corner of Blake's eye she saw someone in a black and gray gi walking towards them. "Well I don't think they're going to play detective that much longer."
"Why do you say that?" Yang asked. The cat faunas pointed behind her friends. Turning back they all saw Black walking up to them. He finally seemed to notice them and stopped. "You're all awake?"
"There was Remnantquake a pretty strong one I might add." Weiss noticed a small cloth pouch strapped to his waist. "Where were you? Lewis and Alli said you weren't in bed when the Renmantquake happened." She interrogated.
"Yes Black where you when the Renamntquake happened?" Nora asked with a light shining up at him. Black used his hand to shield his eyes from the light. "We already talked to Gohan captain and we confirmed it with him that you were gone when he left to the library. There's no escaping this Captain." Lewis added.
The group behind the two detectives sweatdropped. "They're really into this huh." Jaune whispered to Pyrrha. "It would seem so."
"Maybe we should stop them before Black gets angry." Ruby suggested noticing the anger rising within Black.
"She's right; Nora won't stop unless we tell her to." Ren agreed.
Black held an annoyed expression as he was bombarded with more questions. From the corner of his eye he glanced at Gohan. "I was out… walking."
"Walking where?'
"Vale where else."
Nora wrote in a small handbook. "Just walking huh? Then mind telling us that small cloth pouch strapped to your waist?!" Black raised a brow and looked down at his pouch.
"Nora I think that's enough. We should head to bed already."
"Not yet Ren we're about to make a breakthrough in this investigation."
Black eyes slightly twitched. With a defeated sigh he decided to tell them half of the truth. "I was at a herb store and when the Renmantquake occurred a good amount of herbs and other items fell off the shelves. I decided to take some for myself when I saw the shopkeeper distracted with a customer helping him put stuff back."
"You stole?!" The Schnee held a half surprised and half disappointed look. "Of course, I saw an opportunity to take something for free so I took it." Ruby and Jaune sweatdropped having spent more time with him compared to the others they knew that was the kind of person he was. "Well, I think I would've done the same." Yang said gaining looks from the others.
"What don't tell me you guys wouldn't have done the same? Even for something you really wanted?"
"Well there were some comics that I hoped to get but I didn't exactly have the money to buy it." Jaune looked up in thought. "Jaune?" Pyrrha was surprised by what he said.
"I think I would've taken a handful of cookies for free if I had the opportunity too." Ruby added. "That my little sister." Yang ruffled her hair much to her dislike.
"I don't think encouraging you sister in doing criminal acts is very wise." Ren commented. Alli and Blake hummed in agreement.
"Me too me too I wanna steal too." Lewis excitingly said. Black stared at the people in front of him with pure confusion. When the hell did stealing cause such a debate?
"You are all unbelievable! Weiss exclaimed, she then turned to the only two people she hoped that would be on her side. "What about you two would you steal too?" Turning to Pyrrha and Gohan.
"Me? I mean stealing no matter what is bad so no, I wouldn't." Gohan said.
"Well I was always taught never to take what doesn't belong to me unless it's paid by me." Pyrrha
"Thank you! You two are the only voice of reason in this group I can count on. I'm very grateful to have known you both." Weiss hugged the two. "And us as well." Gohan chuckled.
From the side Yang got slightly annoyed at the contact Gohan was having with the two girls.
"Now, back to the matter at hand." Releasing her hug Weiss approached Black. "You should take what you stole and return it to the owner." Weiss ordered.
Black's head tilted to the side. "And what gives you the right to give me orders?"
"Since I'm much more superior than you." The group's eyes widen along with some of the remaining students who were still awake.
"Oh, is that fact." Black towered over the Schnee and glared.
"Yes it is." Weiss stood her ground and responded with her own glare. From the sidelines the group was worried that something bad might happen. "Maybe we should do something before one of them decided to respond." Jaune whispered. Yang walked up and picked up the Schnee bridal style. "Wha-What you doing?!" Weiss tried to push off from the brawler's arms. "We still got a few more hours still classes start so let's go get some sleep before then." Blake followed them back to the dorm.
"Well thank god that's out of the way." Jaune yawned. "Yea I think I want to enjoy these few hours with some sleep too."
"But Pancakes." Nora whined.
"I'll make double for you in the morning." Ren said causing Nora squeal in excitement and run back to the dorm.
"I think we should get going too." Gohan turned to his team and noticed Alli crouched down. "Drop something?" The squirrel faunas pointed ahead. The two Saiyan's looked up. Lewis was currently sleeping on the floor. "He fell asleep." Black and Gohan both sweatdropped.
"Guess I'll carry him back." Gohan walked up and picked up the sleeping teen and carried him back to their dorm. Black was about to walk with but then saw a glimpse of a white petal float past him. He sensed someone behind and quickly turned only to see Ruby with a surprised look.
"Whoa, uh sorry didn't mean to surprise you." Black looked side to side. he could've sworn he sensed someone else. His eyes went back to the girl in front of me. "What is it? Are you here to tell me to return what I've stolen too?"
"N-No, that's your choice if you want to return it or not. But it would be nice if you did."
Black raised a brow. "I remember you saying that you would steal a handful of cookies if given the opportunity."
"Well yea, but I wouldn't do that. Doing bad things like stealing is something we shouldn't do especially since we're being trained to become huntsmen and huntresses." Black only stared. She really wants him to do the right thing. These mortals and their petty laws. "I also want to apologize for what Weiss said. She can be pretty uptight and bossy but she means well."
"I can see that." He sarcastically said.
"She's just trying to look out for you. She doesn't want you to get in trouble that's all." Ruby looked to the side. "I also wouldn't want you to get in trouble." Black slightly tilted his head to the side and questioningly hummed. Instantly Ruby freaked out not realizing that she just said that out loud. "I-I-I mean if Professor Ozpin or one of the other professors would find out you might get suspended or kicked out of Beacon and I wouldn't have anyone to train me!" Ruby nervously laughed as she began to sweat a bit.
Black sighed. "Very well, I'll keep what you said in mind." He turned and waved her off but not before looking over his shoulder. "But it might cost you in our next training session."
Ruby turned slightly pale. She hunched over and groaned. "Yea I kinda expected that." Her lips then turned into a challenging smile. "But like I said before whatever you throw at me I can take it." Black mentally smirked at her spirt. He turned and walked back to his dorm. "You better or else you'll never be able to survive a real fight against me."
After using their last couple hours of sleep the students of Beacon rose from their beds once again. The doors to the dorms opened and out came out teams RWBY,JNRP, and BAGL. "Goooooooood Morning everyone!" Lewis shouted through a megaphone. Blake an Alli flinched due to their sensitive hearing.
"Good Morning to you as well Lewis." Pyrrha greeted earning her a toothy grin from him. "How is he this energetic?" Weiss asked slightly amazed and annoyed.
"He's not the only one." Ren said his gaze looking the right.
"Pancakes pancakes I'm gonna eat some pancakes." Nora sang, skipping down the hall.
Ruby walked up to the squirrel faunas. "Hey Alli, how're you holding up? You know after the whole tremor thing from last night."
"I'm doing o-okay."
"We can see that considering that you're not clinging on to anyone like your life depended on it." Yang said. Blake smacked her up the head. ""Yang, be nice."
"It-it's okay Blake. I've always been quite the scaredy cat when it came to thunder or tremors."
"Ya know, I read that while faunas not only have the same attributes as animals in terms of better hearing, strength, and sense of smell. Some actually develop likes, and fears that are the same to the animal they match. This also includes their sleep schedule, eating time, and mating season." The last part Gohan said caused the girl's faces to turn a shade of red minus Ruby. "It's all based on their instin-."
"GOHAN!" The girls shouted.
The hybrid Saiyan blinked a couple times. "Uh…Yea?"
Yang placed a hand on his shoulder. "I think you've said enough. Thanks for the educational lesson though." Gohan noticed her face slightly red. He looked at the other girls and saw the same shade of red on their faces. Gohan raised a brow and scratched his head. "Did I say something bad?"
"He's so oblivious." They thought.
Ren walked up to him. "Well talk about it later."
"Sure, umm..ok?" Black was also confused by their reactions.
"I think we should head to cafeteria and get something to eat before we head to class."Jaune suggested the group agreed. Along the way they tried to change the subject to clear the awkward atmosphere that was still present.
Ruby walked next to her sister with a confused look due to a word she heard but didn't know what it meant. She looked back to where Black was quietly walking. She slowed down her pace till she was next to him. "Hey Black, you know a lot of words and what they mean right?"
The ex kaiosen raised a brow at her question. "Yes I do."
"What does mating mean then?" The group in front of them nearly tripped over at the question.
"Mating is when a male a female perform se-." Before Black could finish his sentence an arm wrapped around his neck and a hand covered his mouth by Yang while being pushed away Blake and Jaune. Ruby's ears were covered by Weiss and eyes covered by Pyrrha. "He-Hey what's going on I can't see!"
"We're protecting your innocence!" Yang shouted.
"Ehh?"
From the sidelines Gohan, Ren, Lewis, Nora, and Alli watched. "I guess we won't be having breakfast today." Ren commented.
"Get off me!" Black tried prying the brawlers grip but surprisingly he couldn't. He could use a bit more strength but then it could cause his power to rise more than normal and alert Gohan. Letting a growl out Black continued his struggle. He almost lost balance from Jaune and Blake pushing him.
As they continued to struggle a sound of someone clearing their throat caught their attention. Looking up they all saw Glynda standing there with an annoyed look.
After 5 minutes of scolding the group were finally freed from Glynda. "Well, that sucked." Yang commented as they walked out of the office.
"It indeed was unfortunate for us to have Ms. Glynda make an appearance." Pyrrha said.
"Why the hell did you all grab me?" Black asked still quite ticked off.
"To protect Ruby's innocence." Blake answered.
"Huh?" Did he hear right, did they just say to protect her innocence? To hell with her innocence he had to endure one of Goodwitch's annoying scolding. "I'll tell you all this once. Do what you did to me again and consequences will be greater than Goodwitch's scolding." Black's glare caused the ones who grab and push him to shiver in fear. Having given his warning Black turned and walked away. "Black wait up." Ruby tried stopping him but he was too far gone. Ruby hunched down knowing full well that he wasn't going to come back for the day. Her attention turned to her sister. "Yang I know you organized that response team. I'm 16 you can't keep "protecting" me from these things you don't want me to know."
"Hey, it's my job as the older sister." Ruby let out a frustrated sigh and walked ahead the other following suit.
The day progressed as normal with some unexpected events caused by Lewis and Nora. After classes, the group walked around the city for a bit before heading back to the cafeteria to enjoy a nice meal after a long day of pop quizzes which still mentally exhausted a couple of them. "Can't they give us a heads up when we're going to have these pop quizzes." Nora complained.
"If they did it wouldn't be called a pop quiz for nothing." Ren said. Nora slightly melted from exhaustion. Ren patted his childhood friend. "Just hang in there Nora you'll make it." His comfort caused a weak smile to form on her lips.
"I don't think I'll be able to make it through the week if we have more test and quizzes tomorrow." Yang groaned.
"That's what studying's for." Weiss said peacefully eating a banana. Yang leaned back on her chair and groaned louder. "I know but studying is booooring." She glanced at Gohan who was reading an apple while reading a book. "Gohan how do you do it?"
Upon hearing his name the hybrid looked up from his book. "Do what?"
"Memorize all these things you learn."
"He studies Yang he doesn't do anything special." Blake said.
"I know but he studies even more than Weiss and that's saying something!" Gohan lightly chuckled not really sure if that was a compliment or not. "Well my mo- I mean my father did have me studying a lot when I was kid. Guess that habit still stuck with me."
"I kinda feel bad for you. Being forced to study so much as a kid." Blake said.
"Well I wasn't exactly forced to. At first I was kinda rebellious towards the idea of studying but after a while, I started to enjoy studying." Gohan thought back at how his mother would hand him large textbooks to study. All those talks about being smart and ready for when he went to high school and college really paid off.
Yang scooted away a bit as a frightened look appeared on her face. "You-you enjoy studying!"
"Yea, is that a bad thing?" Weiss spoke up before Yang could say anything. "No it isn't. Rather it's good that you like to study, unlike some people I know." Her eyes landed Yang then to her partner or she thought. "Hey where's Ruby?"
"I don't know I saw her leave in a hurry after Professor Ports class an hour ago." Alli said.
"Jaune said he was going to go to the CTC to talk to his family when we passed by the city." Pyrrha added.
Huh, so they both left again." Their disappearance has been accruing a lot during this month. They all began to ponder the different reason for why they keep disappearing. One thought came to Yang's head which caused her to crush the soda can she was holding. "Unacceptable."
"Ooooo someone is in trouble." Lewis giggled.
"I think it would be best to ask them why and where they went off to when they come back before jumping to any conclusions." Ren said.
"I think so too. Who knows they're probably giving each other tips on being a better leader." Pyrrha added though she wanted to believe it was just that a part of her still felt slightly uncomfortable that they both left together for whatever reason.
"494, 495, 496, 4…97 c-come on Jaune I feel like I'm doing all the work right now." Ruby tried her hardest from falling to the floor her right arm felt like jelly.
"Heh, I think I should be the one telling you that." Jaune weakly smirked also shaking a bit from the sore and numbness. The two teens were currently doing one hand push-ups with Black standing on their backs. "Enough talking, you two should have been done by now. Do I need to add 30 more pounds and an extra 30 pushups?" Black said from above them.
"NO! 498," A grin formed on Blacks lips as he secretly added 50 more pounds to himself. Cracks formed blew Ruby and Jaune. They gritted their teeth as sweat dripped down their chin. "49…9!" Feeling like their arms were going to snap they still managed to lower themselves one last time. Veins appeared on their temples as they mustered the last of their strength to push their bodies back up. "500!" They both shouted Black hopped off right before they collapsed to the floor.
Both Ruby and Jaune heavy panted on the ground their bodies sore and covered in sweat. "I'm impressed you managed to push yourselves on that last one with the extra 50lb."
"You…You added… 50 more…pounds." Ruby said between breaths.
"Actually I've been adding 5lb for every ten pushups you would do before adding the 50 on the last one. Without you two even noticing you've been lifting over 500lb." Their eyes nearly popped from their sockets after hearing how much they were lifting. "Thus confirming that you two are ready." Black walked up in front of them.
Jaune glanced up. "R-Ready for what?"
"Too have your weights removed" What he said caused them to look up in surprise. They glanced at each other before steadily pushing themselves up in a sitting position. "Close your eyes." They did as he ordered. Lifting his hands a white line traced over them which grew brighter and brighter till it faded. Ruby opened her eyes and blinked a couple times when she felt extremely lighter. Looking down to herself she noticed that the arm and leg sleeves were gone and her sports bra didn't feel heavy anymore. Looking to her right she saw Jaune checking himself out probably feeling the same as she was. Ruby tried hopping back to her feet but ended up 80ft in the air "Whoa!" before falling back down. "Ouch!" Rubbing her bottom.
"How'd you do that!?" Jaune asked shocked to see Ruby jump so high.
"I don't know I just tried hopping to my feet and next I know I'm in the air!" Ruby one again looked down at her hands. "The weights helped restrain your new found strength."
"So how do I you know not cause myself to jump so high in the air?" Ruby asked.
"…Let loose." Was Black response.
"Let,"
"Loose?" Jaune finished.
"Yes, to control a new power you first need to fully experience it. So let loose until you're used to your strength."
"Experience our new abilities huh?" Ruby looked around for bit. Her eyes then landed at one location. "Hey Jaune." The blond turned to his friend. "Why don't we have a little race to see how fast we've gotten?"
"Alright but to where?"
"There." The two boys looked at the mountain she pointed at. "Isn't that a bit too far and high?"
"Come on Black's chased use further and we don't have the weights to hold us down anymore."
"It would be a good simple way to experience your new found power." Black added.
"Alright, I guess I got no choice then."
"That's the spirit! Ruby a pat to Jaune's back which almost caused him to fall forward. "Black you joining?"
"I'll wait here and be the judge."
"Alright then, there and back Jaune. You ready?"
"Ready as I'll ever be." The two crouched down.
"3, 2, 1, Go!" A trail of dust was left from the two as they sped into the forest. "Hmm they're faster than I thought." Black closed his eyes and concentrated on their Ki's. Thanks to their ki's being higher than what it used to be he could sense them more easily than before. It would most likely take them 45 minutes tops for them to reach the top of the mountain and back.
Time passed by and Black stood there somewhat bored. Maybe he should've gone with them but should he? He already knew that he could easily outspeed them but still, he felt like he was missing some…fun? Shaking his head Black immediately erased the idea of fun. Why would racing them be considered fun? With a sigh Black pinched his nose bridge. His ears picked up rapid footsteps heading his way. Looking up he his eyes widen and quickly leaned back as the fists of Ruby and Jaune pass over him.
The two teens skid to a stop and turned back around panting a bit. Black leaned forward and stood up at straight before glancing behind him. "You two still have a long way to go before you can get the drop on me."
"Told you." Jaune commented.
Ruby pouted but it quickly turned into a smirk. "Guess we'll have to keep on training till we can."
"That will have to indeed. But in order to proceed to the next step of your training, you two will have to pass this test of mines." Black said.
"A test?" Confusion in Jaune's tone.
"Yes, a test." Before he could teach them that he needs to see how much they've progressed since day one. And what better way to test their abilities than in combat. "So what's this test going to be about?" Jaune asked.
Disturbed from his thoughts Black glanced up at the two. "I'll brief you two about it tomorrow. For now, get used to your new abilities." Black walked past the two. "Now let's head back it's getting dark." Looking up at the sky they finally noticed that it was getting dark. "Oh shoot everyone is probably looking for us, we gotta hurry!" Jaune and Ruby dashed past Black and headed back to Beacon. Did they forget that time flies by faster when they train?
Back at Beacon, the group split us into three groups in search of their two friends. "Man we searched everywhere." Yang said.
"It could be possible that Pyhrra and the others found them in the city." Blake responded, trying to calm down her partner.
"That still doesn't explain why Ruby isn't picking up her scroll." Weiss added. Up ahead of the trio they saw team BAGL and JNRP waiting for them. "Hey guys any luck on your end?" Gohan asked.
"No, we searched everywhere in the school but no sign of either of them." Yang answered she then noticed Black with them now. "Black?"
They turned to look at the ex kaiosen. "Oh yea we found Captain walking in the park on our way back." Lewis said.
Weiss walked up to the ex kaiosen. "I'm guessing you haven't seen Ruby or Jaune either."
"No I haven't. Though I still don't understand why you all are so worried about."
"My sister is out there somewhere and I don't know where she is." Yang said.
"That still doesn't answer my question as to why you have to know where she is." Black said back.
Yang's eyes widen for a split second be they turned into slight anger. "Because she's my little sister and I-
"She's also your leader and a huntress in training. She's capable to take care of herself." Yang was going to retort again but Black wasn't done yet. "If I recall you said she was special for being accepted into Beacon, was that a lie?" The hall was quiet from the question. This girl was going to be an eyesore if she continues to worry for Ruby's safety. He had to get her off their trail.
The silence was in the hall was awkward even Lewis stayed quiet. Wanting to break the tension Gohan was about to speak up till someone else spoke up first. "Why's everyone standing here quiet?"
Turning to the source of the voice they all saw Ruby making her way to them with Jaune following behind. "Ruby, where have you been?" Yang asks ignoring the little argument she and Black were having a few seconds ago.
"Huh? I was in the city." She and Jaune then saw Black standing behind her sister. "How'd he get here so fast?!" They both thought in surprise.
"Really, and what exactly did you do in the city?" Weiss joined in. Ruby gave her best false questioning look. Gohan stepped in to explain a bit. "Well it's just that you've been disappearing quite a lot since the start of the semester."
"Jaune this is also the same for you. You've also been disappearing a lot as well." Pyrrha said.
"Yes, in which leads to our assumption that you two might be a… pair." Weiss says last. Ruby and Jaune blinked a couple time before looking at each other before quickly turning back to their friends with redness spreading across their faces. "WHAT NO!" They both denied.
"Then where do you two go and why at the same time?" Ren joined in as well with the interrogation. Both Jaune and Ruby were a loss at words not knowing what to tell them. They both gave a quick glance to Black who just gave his normal stare. Jaune wanted to give it a shot with his lie but before he could Ruby spoke first.
"I was… helping Jaune create a new armor set."
They looked over to the blond teen. "You want a new armor set?" Pyrrha asked.
"Y-Yea. I umm…" He quickly thought of an armor set he would need that could sound believable. "I wanted a new set of armor where I could more easily but still offer me the same protection. So I asked Ruby if she could help me come up with something."
"But Ruby is more into weapons than armor." Yang explained.
"Well that's half true Yang. While I am kinda a geek about weapons I do have my fair share of knowledge about armor too. The armor set I'm coming with will be made up with a different type of metal just don't know what."
"I see… well knowing you you'll come up with something." Weiss said. "But, that still doesn't excuse you from not telling us."
Rubbing her arm Ruby hunched down in shame. "Sorry guys." Jaune also held a look of guilt.
"It's alright Ruby we were just worried about you and Jaune." Gohan said. Yang wrapped an arm around Ruby's neck and pulled her in. "Yea at first I was pretty worried for Jaune's safety." She said with a cheery grin.
"Wait, my my safety?"
"She was going to clobber you if our assumption was true." Blake bluntly said. Jaune stared at the brawler with a scared look in his eyes taking a step back in the process. "Don't worry Jaune. We were wrong so you got nothing to worry about."
"Heheh lucky me."
Ruby nervously sweated but still forced a smile. She completely forgot how protective Yang can be when a boy tries to make moves on her or when she hears that they have an interest in her. "I wonder when she'll stop being so overprotective."
"I-It was nice that we cleared e-everything up with you t-two but I think I should be g-going. I still have some homework that needs to b-be done before it get any l-later." Alli said.
"Shoot I also forgot that we have that Grimm Biology project due in tomorrow." Gohan said. "Oh no that's right I forgot to do the research for it!" Weiss grabbed a hold of her hair in panic. She turned to Lewis and pointed. "Lewis we need you to finish that Death Stalker sculpture by morning!"
"On it Ice Queen!"
"Don't call me that!" She yelled before turning to the brawler. "Yang I am assuming you are finished with that essay we need."
"I….umm…yes." She said with a nervous smile which earned her a glare. Grabbing her, Gohan, and Lewis by collars she dragged them to the Library. "We're not sleeping until we finish this project!"
"EHH?!"
The group could only watch and wave as their friends we helpless dragged down the corridor. "She's really dedicated to her studies." Black commented.
"You have no idea." Ruby said.
"I think I'm going to go back to the dorm and catch up on some of the reading I missed." Blake said. "You too huh? Sorry about all this guys, I promise to make it all up to you all."
Blake smiled at this. "Don't worry about it. Just remember, we're your teammates and we promised to each other that we wouldn't keep secrets from each other." Ruby gave a nod which Blake then took her leave. "I think we should head back too." Ren said. Turning to the quiet teen they all saw him carrying Nora in his arms.
"Nora? What happened to her?" Pyrrha asked.
"Her hyper mood turns off by 9:45." He explained.
"And she just falls completely asleep no matter where she is?" Jaune asked his own question.
"Most of the time."
"Huh never noticed."
A hand was placed on Jaune's shoulder. "You also need to head to bed Jaune. We can't have you falling asleep in Professor Ports class again." Pyrrha said with a smile.
"Yea guess you're right about that." Turning to his two friends he waved goodbye. "See you guys tomorrow."
"Night guys!" Ruby waved. After they were gone a brief moment of silence loomed the halls. That's when Ruby realized that she was alone with Black. She slowly turned to him and said. "So Black." Only to see him already walking away.
"H-Hey wait up!" Black glanced over his shoulder. "If you're going to ask me about your test then save your breath."
Finally catching up Ruby smirked. "What friends can't hang out with each other?" Black raised a brow before continuing down his path. Ruby followed. "So wher are you off to? Cause your dorm is that way." Pointing to the opposite direction of where they were going.
"If you must know, I'm going to go read for a bit. I'm too…energetic from training."
"Wait energetic? But you barely spared with us today."
A smirk of his own formed on his lips. "Using your physical body isn't the only way you can train." Ruby face was a mix of confusion and surprise. "Image Training."
"Image Training?" Ruby repeated, "What's that?"
"You'll learn in due time." His answer earned him an angry pout from her. "Man this isn't fair! You mention about all these cool abilities and moves but you won't teach me any of it!"
Black sighed. While her enthusiasm is a good trait for her when it comes to training, it's also quite annoying as well. "Like I said your test tomorrow will determine if you're ready for the next step of your training."
Ruby let out a groan. She couldn't wait for tomorrow she wanted to learn more. This new excitement that started developing within her to learn more about this new way of fighting just kept increasing every day. And he could teach her everything he knows, her eyes gleamed with admirations, excitement, and something else. Black felt her staring and looked back. Ruby quickly looked away awkwardly scratching her head.
"I will not slow down if you fall behind." Eyes going back to him she saw Black holding the new book they've been reading the past 2 weeks. Ruby smiled and gave nod.
The two continued to make their way to the garden. From around a corner, a girl with green eyes peered out and watched as the two walked further and further away. A mischievous smile spread across the girl's face. "Oh what fun this will be."
And done. Dios mio, these chapters are taking longer than I thought. Mostly my fault got side track with the show Smallville, old shows are still good.
Now I want to say this before some else says it. Yes, I put ex kaiosen for Black and the reason for that is, the moment he killed Gowasu and started his ZMP I feel like he just stopped being a Supreme Kai in training and became his own God. A destructive, badass, beautiful god. But that's just me, can't really explain it but hopefully, you all understand what I'm trying to say and maybe accept it.
Now I'll try my very hardest to finish up with chapter 2 of Saiyan Instincts by next Wednesday. I would start finishing it up right now but by the time I post this chapter, it'll be 3:00 am so yea…I need some sleep.
Whelp I got nothing else to say. See you guys next time my friends PEACE!"
