[Cues: driver – the eye of truth]
Know this young one: These silver eyes perceive all things conjoined. The past, the future, and the present. Everything flows, and all is connected. These eyes are not merely seeing reality but is a gateway to an ascended level of power. Achieve it, and there will be nothing holding you back.
Those were the words that young Yuki was told by his father one day when his mother taught him some basics in kenpo. Mao Azure was what Yuki believed to be a man among men, and Haku Azure was the strongest woman in the world to him. His parents were responsible for forming the village he was born in, Crossroad Village. The village was a bustling place between crossroads for traders, travelers, and huntsman to pass through. The name by have been a bit bland, but the people would not have it any other way. An early Saturday morning had come upon the village and Yuki woke up with a spring in this step. Today was the last day of the year which was his birthday, and the cheerful child had a face full of excitement and innocence. He hastily got dressed making sure to fasten his blue boots. Getting his backpack and his hunting knife in his pocket, he went downstairs to the kitchen of his family home by sliding down the railing.
"Good morning, mother!" Yuki said running into the kitchen.
"And here's the birthday boy! Happy birthday, sweetheart!" Haku said setting down breakfast on the table. "And here's your special breakfast…pancakes, yaki onigiri, and a beef bowl soup with noodles."
Yuki took this time to savor his breakfast. While he was forking it all down, he asked where his father was. Haku had a thoughtful look on her face.
"Well, he mentioned he wanted to talk to you up on the nearby rock fiel-" Haku said before Yuki literally flung himself out of the window and was running off. "At least, he did not break it like his last birthday."
[Cues: Eterna City (Daytime) – Pokémon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum OST]
The cold air was rather light despite it being December as snow had not fallen for too long. The village was in full swing with people operating their business and with children playing with the little snow left behind. In a sense, Yuki was seen by this village at its "prince" and was looked to take over the reins when he got old enough to do so.
"If this isn't the birthday boy, how did old you make this time?" A fox eared Faunus said walking up with a deer Faunus woman.
"Hey-o, Mr. and Mrs. Quartz." Yuki said kindly. "I've made it to 10."
"Double digits at last. You're on the cusp to adolescence, the most confusing time before adulthood. Say goodbye to your childhood, kid." Tsubaki teased ruffling his hair.
What Yuki had not known was Tsubaki and Mizuki were former members of the White Fang who left the Vale sect due to disagreements with their sect leader's plans and Tsubaki's pregnancy.
"So, how long until my "nephew" is born?" Yuki said excitedly.
"We don't know if it's a boy and girl yet, but our firstborn will be here in just one more month." Mizuki said slicking back his silver hair. "I'm hoping for a daughter, though. My silky hair would look good on her."
"Hmph, you and your hair. I swear you're obsessed about it." Tsubaki said teasingly.
"My mother says he probably dyes it." Yuki said before running off.
Mizuki fumed yelling, "You little brat! It's natural! I have silver hair all over my body, damn it!"
Now the townsfolk were looking at him funny as Tsubaki facepalmed. She loved her husband, but he had a tendency to walk into making an ass of himself. She swore she had saw some of women looking to her silently asking if his color is natural. Tsubaki was not going to give them an answer.
[Music Ends]
Yuki had arrived at the rock field right outside of town and his father stood up facing the sun leaving a large shadow in his wake. Mao was a giant of a man with an equally muscular and well-defined physique standing at seven feet two inches. His wavy ocean blue hair was offset as his silver eyes were shimmering in the light. He wore his usual blue gi and boots with the family crest on the back of his gi.
"Father, I'm here." Yuki said coming up.
"So you're finally ten, Yuki. It's finally time I explained a few things about your legacy and the power hidden within. Firstly, I want to let you know that keeping secrets isn't a bad thing but keeping them from people who need to know is. This was why I left a circle helping to defend the world. But first, let's discuss the silver eyes." Mao said being absolutely serious.
Mao lifted a boulder before throwing it into a larger rock to make a seat for them to sit on.
[Cues: Dragon Ball Kai – Premonition Of A Grand Adventure]
"Long ago within the ancient times where dust was not completely usable yet, humanity struggled against the Seven Deadly Sins." Mao started.
"Aren't people still struggling with that?" Yuki interrupted.
"Let me explain. The Grimm are not just creatures of darkness that come from the evils of faunus and humans. Not only spawned from pools of tainted energy. They are spawned by someone. The Grimm have a queen, a beautiful yet wicked woman who is ancient yet ageless, Salem Grimore. Back then, she had managed to imbue seven of her followers with abilities similar to hers and they become known as the Seven Deadly Sins. They delighted in chaos and destruction helping Grimm to terrorize their fellow man. One of them is the reason we have Beowolves according to legend. When humanity was at the brink, the silver eyed warriors emerged." Mao explained.
"Where did they come from?" Yuki asked.
-(Cues: Dragon Ball Kai – The Braveheart Challenges the Strong)-
"Nobody is exactly sure, but the accepted origin is they were blessed and cursed by the Brother Gods themselves. Blessed with the power to eradicate Grimm and combat Salem but cursed with them baring heavy burdens. With the rush of silver eyed warriors, they engaged the Seven Deadly Sins. In the end however, only seven of the 28 warriors survived. The Seven Deadly Sins were slain except for two, Lust and Envy." Mao went on as he flashbacked to silhouettes of battles past.
[Music Ends]
"Did the two of them get away?" Yuki asked.
"Yes, and nobody knows what happened to them. It's quite likely that they did settle to reproduce with another person to keep their cursed blood alive." Mao said bitterly. "But onto what the Silver Eyes can do."
Mao's silver eyes shone brightly.
"The most basic ability they have is to emit a blinding flash that eradicates Grimm and harm people you'll want to hurt around you and in your line of sight. The first time you'll do that will be through extreme emotion, exhaust yourself." Mao mused.
"But I'll be do it on command with ease, right?" Yuki asked.
"Exactly. In time, you will learn to wield your power and be like water. Able to flow seamlessly." Mao said. "Moving on, there are three powers Silver Eyed warriors use in combat. Manifesta allows for one to sense the presence of others, especially those with aura, and to predict an opponent's moves shortly before they make them."
To demonstrate, he had Yuki throw rocks at him which he was able to dodge with ease and caught the last one before coming back to Yuki so he could continue.
"Armis allows for one to use their aura to create, in essence, an invisible armor around themselves dependent on your willpower and life force. Attacking with Armis will have attack the body past the aura of an opponent. Now, be warned that Manifesta and Armis can be learned by non-Silver Eyed huntsman provided they have the training. Hell, some can even awaken one or the other by accident." Mao said as he got up to provide a demonstration.
For Armis, he simply caused his arm to become coated in a metallic blue shade, the color of his aura.
"So, what's the last one?" Yuki asked.
"Well, there's a reason Salem fears Silver Eyed Warriors enough to try and kill us all off. The last one, Argentum Voluntatem or Silver Will, is a Silver Eyed Warrior exclusive. This one can't be attained by training alone, but it is something that is awakened…usually by tragedy. It allows one to exert their willpower over others." Mao mused strongly as he got off the rock.
"I'm going to hamper a guess that it's a more powerful flash of Silver Eyes." Yuki asked.
"That is very astute. One could call it a cross of it and Armis. Weak willed people would easily fall to it. Stronger willed people could resist but will take damage especially if the user's will be stronger than their enemy. This power would be Salem's worst nightmare." Mao said as Yuki was wide eyed and excitedly.
"Can you show me?" Yuki asked eagerly looking up at him.
"Sadly, I don't have this ability myself. Not every Silver Eyed Warrior gets it. The most I can do is use a bastardized version of Manifesta to emit my killing intent which keeps Grimm away. Summer Rose doesn't have it either to my knowledge. The last ones I knew who could perform was my mother and my brother…but they're dead." Mao said a bit saddened by the end.
"What happened to them?" Yuki asked.
"Salem…or at least her cronies got to them. It's a shame, they would have loved you dearly." Mao said hugging his son.
[Cues: Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors 2 OST – Cutscene 1]
As the two walked on the path back to the village, Mao perked up.
"However, I've spent my life studying aura and working to making techniques of my own on how to fight effectively with it. I've written a book with all the details and research I made on aura, Silver Eyes, and some secrets of the world that you'll need to learn about Salem among other things. You'll inherit that book the day you become a huntsman in training." Mao said pulling out said book out of his pocket.
The book itself was a simple journal with the insignia for the Azure family on it.
"Then, I will train hard." Yuki said looking up to his father. "I promise."
"That's my boy." Mao said as Yuki dashed ahead back to village.
"The day will come, Yuki, when there is an opportunity to show what you're really made of. So, think of all those you fight for, and make your attack from the depths of your soul. Because among huntsmen, nothing is noblier than self-sacrifice." Mao thought with a warm smirk on his face.
He had caught up to Yuki, and the day was spent celebrating the end of a prosperous year and Yuki's birthday. The presents were plentiful, the food was plentiful, and the love was all there. That day would mark the end of happy moments in his life, for tragedy was hiding in the shadows with fanged grins.
[Cues: Troops March On - Final Fantasy VI Advance OST]
An explosion had shaken the village enough for Yuki to fall out of bed. He looked out of the window and saw to his horror that his hometown was being attacked by the White Fang.
"But, why?" Yuki said horrified to see one gut a fellow Faunus.
Immediately, Yuki got out of his pajamas into fresh clothes and saw that was four a.m. in the morning. Getting his knife, he rushed out of his room. He found his mother still in her pajamas looking weary. She had several deep scratches on her left cheek and arms. Her weapon, an axe had chips in the metal, and she held it loosely. She was panting and clearly trying to hide the pain she was in from Yuki.
"Yuki, it's dangerous to go out there. You have not discovered your semblance or had your aura awakened… We hoped to do that when you were older, but we have no choice now." Haku said laying her hand on his hand. "For it is in passing that we achieve immortality. Through this, we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all. Infinite in distance and unbound by death, I release your soul—GYAHHH!"
[Cues: The Gestahl Empire - Final Fantasy VI Advance OST]
Yuki looked up to see a White Fang grunt had impaled his mother through her heart getting her to cough up blood on Yuki's face. The chameleon Faunus snickered at the sight as Haku could only gag trying to get out the last of the words before he tore it out. He had been hiding in the shadows waiting for the perfect chance to strike. Blood splattered all over the floor, and Yuki's face had a look of terror and near catatonia as blood soaked his face.
"Well well, sorry kid. Can't have your aura awakened and make things difficult…." He hissed. "Man, I love killing kids. They don't leave much of a mess."
Yuki stared at the bloody corpse that was his mother and he twitched. His lone silver eye burned as his body racked with pain. With an ear-splitting scream, his aura had painfully broken out much to Faunus's shock and irritation.
[Aura awakened….Semblance loading.]
[Welcome to your Semblance, YUKI OS v.10!]
The words that flashed up in front of Yuki were ignored in favor a simple desire, to kill his bastard in the most painful way possible. His semblance skipped the message in favor of aid in targeting a vital area that Yuki along with a small profile.
[Profile on Target]
[Name: Leon Blanco
Age: late teens-early twenties
Occupation: White Fang Grunt
Aura Levels: Average
Semblance: Invisibility [Copied into database]]
Yuki vanished turning invisible much to Leon's surprise.
"What the hell?! How is this possible?" Leon said panicked.
Yuki was operating on pure instinct as he circled him like a predator slowly unsheathing his hunter's knife. Leon whirled around only to get shoved over Haku's body as Yuki pounced with one hand on Leon's throat. Yuki made himself visible and Leon saw Yuki had no emotion. It was as if all of his was drained, and a muted Yuki drove a knife into Leon's skull.
Leon's aura shattered with repeated stabbings. Yuki's semblance was doing what it could to keep him mind mostly intact when he should have a meltdown. Making sure Leon was dead, he was promptly raided for useful items. Yuki refused to take the sword used in his mother's death and tossed it aside. Taking up his mother's axe, he exited through the front door. Shades of red and orange littered the town as the once humble village looked torn to shreds. A few of the village's local huntsmen were brawling against White Fang insurgents, but corpses were scattered about. Some of his neighbors and some of the White Fang's bodies littered the streets. Yuki kept the muted horrified look as he looted White Fang corpses along the way.
"Father, where are you?" Yuki said to himself.
His semblance piqued his question.
[Locating "Father". "Father" found in Town Square. Life force is weak!]
He sped off for the town square determined to save his father. His semblance would be a grim wakeup call as this would the last time he would see him alive.
[Cues: Dragon Ball Kai OST – A Disastrous Spectacle]
Yuki would arrive to see his battered father alongside a wounded Mizuki and Tsubaki. It was there that Yuki got a glance at the White Fang sect leader, Adam Tarsus. With his blade in hand, he looked a lot more menacing despite being a few years older than Yuki.
"So, you thought you could escape and cavort with humans to cover your tracks, Mizuki?" Adam said glaring at the fox.
"I had hopes that I did, you sick fuck. You call yourself a fighter for Faunus rights when you're nothing but a hypocritical bastard." Mizuki said only to get swatted with the blunt end of Blush.
"Adam Tarsus, think on what you're doing. How will bringing death upon innocent aid you? You'll only lead to more war and destruction. You can't believe this is right…" Mao said coughing up blood.
Adam promptly slashed his chest with Wilt effortlessly before sheathing his blade.
"I do." Adam said as Mao was bleeding out on the ground.
"You bull-headed motherfucker!" Yuki roared flinging the ax at him with all his might.
Sadly, his throw missed Adam and embedded himself on the White Fang grunt next to him killing him instantly as the body hit the ground. Yuki unknowingly tapped into Armis but no one had noticed.
"Yuki!" Mao, Mizuki, and Tsubaki screamed in horror.
Adam twitched at the insult and turned to the child whose semblance was keeping him calm and not terrified at the moment.
"You have some nerve, you loathsome human!" Adam said readying his sword.
"Because of you, my mother's dead and for that, I'll have your head!" Yuki said as he fired off weapons he had gotten of the corpses.
Adam had merely flared on his Semblance, Moonslice, slowly glowing red as the bullets and thrown items hit him as he walked forward. Yuki was so into trying to inflict damage that was ignoring the warnings his semblance was giving him.
"This is the end for you, child. Endure oblivion!" Adam said unsheathing Wilt.
[Music Abruptly Stops]
Adam had attacked, but Yuki had not gotten hit only falling on his behind. Mao and Mizuki's last acts were to save him taking that fatal blow. Tsubaki fall to her knees with tears streaming down her eyes.
[Cues: Samurai X (Rurouni Kenshin): Trust & Betrayal OST - The Will)]
"Dad, Mizuki! Why?!" Yuki said tears of his own stream downing his face.
"Because that is what true huntsmen and heroes do. Defend the defenseless. Your body will just move on it's own to do so. I'm sorry that I'll have to leave you and your mother." Mao said weakly.
"Mom's dead…" Yuki said with a sniffle.
"Oh…well then I guess I'll be joining her soon. We'll be rooting for you…from beyond. As for your inheritance, the key to it is within my study. I…love you, Yuki." Mao said before taking his last breath.
"FATHER!" Yuki shouted out.
Mizuki forced himself up looking to his wife telling her to run before dying of his wounds. Tsubaki has staggered up to her feet only to get shot through her stomach and receive a headshot from Adam and another grunt.
"No…." Yuki said in a quiet tone.
His silver eye sparked as his blue turned silver. Adam had raised his blade to strike Yuki down.
[Cues: Black Lagoon OST – The World of Midnight]
Someday I want to run away to the world of midnight.
Yuki's left blue eye had swirled into a matching silver eye as his pupils dilated.
Where the darkness fill the air, where it's icy cold.
Yuki had let out an ear-piercing cacophony of a scream as his eyes flashed silver unleashing a blinding light that sucked up everyone around him.
Where nobody has a name. Where living is not a game
Memories of home, playing outside, getting comfort when he needed it, and the village all seemed to shatter at the moment.
There, I can hide my broken heart, dying to survive. There, no one can see me cry the tears of my lonely soul.
All Yuki would see is silver before blackness fell upon him.
I'll find peace of mind in the dark and cold world of midnight…midnight…mid..nighttt.
[Music End]
When Yuki would wake up, the sky was black despite it being late in the morning. The village was in ruins. It was completely deserted with nothing but corpses. Yuki forced his body up, but he felt like he was punched through solid steel.
[Current Aura Levels: Low / Health: Critical / Healing Factor: Slow]
"My semblance…." Yuki said opening it up to look it over.
It showed his status which covered his profile down to the details. He was shocked to realized that his "skills" were organized like it was a video game. Everything he learned from whether it the kenpo or dishwashing.
[Cues: From That Day On - Final Fantasy VI Advance OST]
"I could look this over later…but I need to get out of here." Yuki said staggering to his feet.
He hated to do this, but he had to raid his father and his friends' corpses. To his relief, the White Fang had not looted them yet. Despite his hopes, the semblance reminded them that would be possibly be survivors on the White Fang side. He gotten wallets, keys, and useless scrolls. He knew he had to flee the village in lieu of the White Fang returning or the Grimm realizing that there was nothing stopping them from stomping a hole in the place. Yuki made the trudge to the family home to pack what he could at least carry for now. Clothes, identification, and cash were the essentials that his semblance instructed him to put together.
"I can't just call you my semblance, you need a name." Yuki thought.
[I am your semblance. While there is a bit more explanation to me, it is best you wait until you are out of the village and someplace easier. I need to connect to the CCT to fully implement myself. From here, I can only preform based from purely your perspective and limited data off the town's scrolls.]
That alone made Yuki realize this semblance of his could easily be a terrifying force if played right. He would literally become a human scroll…a technopath. That realization added to his desire to live, to fully explore his semblance of his. With his backpack packed, he went up to his father's study and found the book his father showed him. His semblance made it seemingly disappear into nothingness only for it to reappear. His semblance had copied it and burned it on its "database" as a backup apparently.
"Ok, I am probably going to have to still read this, but at the very least I can write a copy of it…" Yuki said to himself rubbing his head. "Of course, I cannot tell a soul what my semblance is. I don't need to a be a genius to know if that information was public, I'd be a target. My silver eye will make things worse."
Looking into the mirror, Yuki looked at his icy blue hair done up in a wolf's tail. He immediately undid it having the hair fall, a bang hiding his silver eye slightly.
[Cues: Awakening - Final Fantasy VI Advance OST]
It would be near noon when Yuki was ready to leave. He knew he would have to come back to get the rest of what gathered and hid in the former family home. There was just one last thing to do was to "pour one out" for the village. He had seen Mizuki do this for his own mother when he buried her a week ago. He had broken into the case in the local bar and got out the fanciest bottle of wine he could find before libating the entrance to the village. That day, he made three promises. One was to find a proper weapon for himself after looking down at his father's ninjato, Frostbite. The second was to fully explore his semblance. The third was ensure the demise Adam Tarsus …preferably with his own semblance that was now in his arsenal.
"With this first drink, I mark the end of my childhood." Yuki said taking a swig of the wine before tossing the bottle.
He began his journey to Vale as a wanderer whose wishes he held close to heart.
[Secondary A/N: (4/8/2022) – I got my fanfiction discussed and talked about it by Adel Aka himself on the marked date of one of his streams. I got advice and I went back to rework the trailer as it did have some errors. Now that the fic is complete, I felt I can add a few extra worlds. I find ironic that my take on the Silver Eyed lore was somehow better than what canon would eventually do. I do have a few words for Adel himself, Tsubaki is not a reference to Soul Eater. In the Naruto anime (not sure about the manga), Mizuki had a fiancée named Tsubaki.]
The U Trailer
-(2 Years Before RWBY Canon)-
The Usagi family was a lot like the Schnee family. Both had companies that had powerful ties to the community. For the Usagis, it was the Usagi Weapons Industries. This company had its hand in every kingdom designing weapon parts and the like for all huntsmen and huntresses. But alas, Atlas has its fair share of twisted. The Usagi family were possibly as cold-hearted as the Schnee with one lone white rabbit. Kelly Usagi had it all. Reputation, wealth, and the means to get what she wanted. Her parents trained her well enough for her to qualify for Atlas Academy's fast track program. With her in the academy, her parents slowly began to neglect her leaving her to the servants to care for leaving the family was bound to fall apart….
[Cues: Apollo Brown - Warm Rain]
Kelly sat in her massive room within the Usagi family home. Most wealthy teenagers would fill it with lavish amenities, but Kelly eschewed it. The only things rather lavish in said room was the fluffy canopy bed, dresser, and closest. The rest of the room was used for other things like the bookshelf containing her books on history, politics, theory, science, and so on. Her computer desk with had tons of equipment connected to it and a projector. Training dummies and various weapons were scattered about. A large open terrarium was in the center of the room having several rabbits inside. She was currently on her computer clad only in a robe currently writing her online autobiography while soft music played.
Atlas Academy can be described as a fine school, but it's rather suppressed. The learning curriculum partly centers itself that Atlas was the mightiest kingdom among the four. Pressure was high for everyone to join the Specialist program for our country's military. This was worse for myself and my cohorts who were in the Fast Track Program. How they ran things always made me uncomfortable and unnerved. The academy's headmaster had once directly called me into his office offering me to become an apprentice to Specialist Winter Schnee…for the tenth time that month alone. I actually asked the question of how it not biased that a general of the military is running the school for Huntsmen. Ironwood did not answer, but I was not expecting one. I wanted to be a huntress….but I could not continue at that school. I promptly handed in my school ID to him and dropped out. That had been my third year, and I never felt so jaded. I've been home for a few months now, and I do not even think my parents realize I dropped out. Not like that they care…father only sees me to produce heirs for the damn company and my mother wants to do nothing train to sate her overinflated ego.
Kelly looked over what she had typed only for a knocking to interrupt her train of thought. She flipped off her music and asked for whoever it was to come in.
[Cues: Teaching Feeling OST – Ivory Fiber]
In entered a purple haired chameleon faunus woman wearing a maid's uniform. Of course, no one would know due to her skin appearing pale as snow. This was Puce Blanco, one of the family 's many servants and a former White Fang lieutenant of the Atlas sect.
"Hello, Auntie Puce." Kelly said pleasantly.
One could say Puce was the "second mother". The irony was not lost on Puce that a former White Fang memeber was responsible for giving the young lady a sense of morals.
"It's your parents, they wish to speak to you." Puce said annoyed.
Her good mood sank as she said, "And what the hell does those two want from me? They finally realize I dropped out of the academy."
"Actually yes, they have, but only since last week to which is why they are calling you. The Schnees have come to visit." Puce said as Kelly smashed her fist on the desk.
"Oh for…let me guess, Whitley is with them. I don't even like the little shit, but my parents want to pimp me out to this prick. I don't even want to marry yet, I'm fourteen!" Kelly spewed. "Yet, they force me to socialize with him and his disgusting father."
"Look, let's just get this over with. I don't like it either, but your parents sign my shitty paycheck and keeping funding you." Puce remarked.
Times like this, she despised her family's wealth. Her father was purely obsessed with it and making more of it. She hated the greed that led to him to ruining smaller businesses, screwing over those under him, and treating people as expandable. Her mother only seemed to care about her husband, her swordsmanship, and her ego.
She threw off the robe and walked to her closest to get something on only for Puce to clear her throat.
"Your father also requested you wear this." Puce said holding a dress looking at with revulsion.
Said dress was a black sleeveless turtleneck minidress with cut out cleavage. Kelly was not a prude, but she was flat out mortified that her own father wanted her to wear that.
"What next? He doesn't want me to wear a bra with that!" Kelly asked indignantly.
"No…your mother suggested you wear lace underwear. She sent up some as well." Puce said bitterly.
Another reminder why of her parents not caring for her. She was guilty of pushing for her to hang out with Whitley, but now she's expecting her to seduce him. Kelly put them on feeling dirty and uncomfortable in those clothes and at what her parents were having her do. She could have refused, but she shuddered to the last time she had. She found herself eating rabbit stew…which used to Claire, one of her pets.
[Cues: Brilliant Red - Teaching Feeling OST]
Downstairs, the matriarch and patriarch of the Usagi family sat in one of the sitting rooms with the Jaccques and Whitley. Normally, Mrs. Schnee and Weiss would be here, but this was a meeting of business.
"Jaccques, how good it is to see you again." Papyrus said as another server poured a him a glass of wine. "And to you too, Whitley."
"Good to see a pair who understands the finer things in life. Not like my wife or my other daughter. She ran off to the military." Jaccques said bitterly.
"Don't you have another one?" Kale asked.
"Weiss…she'll may end up following the path of her sister at this rate as she idolizes her. Damn good singer at the moment, though." Jaccques said. "What about your daughter?"
"Currently, not doing anything important. Apparently, she dropped out of Atlas Academy. Seems she lost interest in being a huntress." Kale said nursing her drink.
"Ugh, huntsmen. How barbaric." Whitley said haughtily. "A waste for her."
"Well Whitley, Kelly is rather happy to see you again. She even gussied up for you." Kale said lying through her teeth. "I think she really likes you."
"Well, why would she not?" Whitley said with a smug grin.
Kelly finally came down looking rather unnerved wearing the heels, the underwear, and the dress. Jaccques had a dirty look eyeing her up and down which made her skin crawl.
"Puberty was good for her… she puts Weiss to shame." Jaccques said eyeing her.
Whitley had a satisfied grin on his face getting up to greet her.
"Kelly." Whitley remarked.
"Shitley." Kelly thought before putting on a fake grin saying, "Whitley, how good it is to see you."
"Kelly, do escort Whitley to your room. We'll send up some snacks." Kale said as Kelly and Whitley went on ahead up.
As they left, Papryus turned to Jaccques with a grin of his own.
[Cues: Teaching Feeling OST – Magenta Touch]
"So how about it, Jaccques? Whitley does like her." Papryus said slyly. "We'd be making money together if they got together."
"This is true." Jaccques remarked. "Weapons and dust are in high demand. With us working together, we'll be conquering the markets. But how do you suppose we ensure of this?"
"Simple, I had one of my closer servants whose been wanting a pay raise help me lace drinks on a tray with some snacks carry it up to their room. That'll ensure things…especially if she gets pregnant." Kale said darkly.
"Because we can force a marriage." Jaccques said catching on. "Or at least keep them closer to one in the near future."
"I can smell the money I….we'll make already." Papryus said hiding his slip of the tonuge.
"Let's just hope my son won't waste this golden chance." Jaccques said jovially. "He couldn't keep his hands off her last time."
Listening in on this, Puce had a look of pure rage at the fact that they were pimping out Kelly like this.
"That cunt, Navajo! I can't believe she sold Kelly out for a paycheck!" Puce thought moving to stop her.
However, Kale had seen her and called her in. Puce was inwardly hoping to Oum that Kelly would be safe.
-(Music End)-
Up in Kelly's room, Whitley was rolling his eyes over the state of it.
"Oh come now, this room's a mess." Whitley said crossing his arms.
"I was not expecting guests. Plus, I was in the middle of writing my autobiography." Kelly said putting her swords on the rack.
"You're still doing that? You actually dream of being a philanthropist?" Whitley said with a chuckle. "How noble."
Kelly caught on to the sarcasm only to be caught off-guard with his arm around her waist.
"I could help you to invest in that so bad if you were my woman." Whitley whispered into her ears.
Kelly really wanted to get him off of her, but she looked to her rabbits. She did not want to wake up the next day to find them all made into stew. She hated to put up with this, but the timely interruption of Najavo brought relief as he released her.
"Your mother and I brought you snacks of freshly made cookies and lemonade." Najavo said with fake sweetness as she set it on the table. "Enjoy, Mistress Kelly."
Kelly had a bad feeling about this. She knew Najavo did not really like her and was a total suck up to her parents. The "Mistress Kelly" was a major tip off and the bow cemented for Kelly that something was wrong. The moment she left, Kelly was on high alert. She walked over to a table with some basic lab equipment and put the food next to him.
"What are you even doing?" Whitley asked.
"Making sure this isn't laced." Kelly asked getting the poison detection kit.
"Are you serious?" Whitley said drinking the lemonade. "Are you sure you're not paranoid?"
Kelly tapped into her semblance and subtly modified her nose to one of a bear to take a whiff.
"The lemonade's laced…with Yohimbe, an aphrodisiac." Kelly said with a growl as Whitley was quickly under its effect.
Kelly's eye twitched once again as his hand pulled up the dress slightly.
"Oh, lace. How quaint." Whitley said with a grin.

Before he could go any further, Kelly whirled around and had him by the throat. Kelly's eyes went from her usual cerulean to a primal red. Whitley was slowly realizing he was in trouble as leopard ears tore out of Kelly's head. Spots formed on her body and a tail shot out as she seemed to bulk up. Claws formed on her hands tearing into Whitley's collar.
"Get this through your thick skull! I'm not interested!" Kelly said throwing Whitley out of the door and into the wall.
Her fangs came in as she pounced on Whitley. This mauling was payback…mostly out of anger for her parents and his. She hoped to beat the aphrodisiac out of him after getting a few broken ribs. When she was done beating him black, blue, and red, she returned to her normal form. With her dress torn up and the heels ruined, she kicked them off before grabbing Whitley by his hair.

Puce was inwardly wanting to die as Kale and Papryus made her perform like her faunus abilities were a damn circus act. She wanted to strangle Jaccques only to see Kelly come out with Whitley bloody and beaten.
"What the he-" Kale said only for Kelly to scream for her to shut up.
"I have tolerated enough shit for you two. I complained Whitley was coming on too strong. But you assholes not only encouraged him to it, but killed one of my rabbits for me complaining about. Now, you want to WHORE him and me out! For what? Fucking Money! Not if I have a say!" Kelly said dragging Whitley to the front door.
With a kick, Whitley was sent out into the snow-laden ground before she turned to Jaccques. In a few seconds, he was out of the house as well, flat on his ass.
"And STAY OUT!" Kelly said slamming the door.
She ran up into her room hiding her teary-eyed face. Papryus had went after the Schnees and Kale was livid. However, she hid her anger well. Puce went up after Kelly finding her shaking on the bed.
"Did he?" Puce asked.
"No. Not even close….it's just…why? Parents are supposed to protect you, not whore you out for cash." Kelly said shaking her.
Puce held her tight as Cinnabon, one of her rabbits, came out from her bed and hopped into her lap.
"It's ok, Kelly. I won't stand by and let them hurt you. We need to get out of here…the sooner the better." Puce said as Kelly nodded.
Entering the bedroom, Kale had a stoic look on her face as she quietly walked in.
"Kelly. I can't believe this." Kale said with crossed arms. "You assaulted Whitley when all he wanted was a bit of love."
"You bitch! You tried to lace our drinks to get me to fuck him!" Kelly snarled.
"I was just setting your and his future, dear." Kale said as her stoicism started to crack. "Mother knows best after all."
"I know you have a heart that's blacker than the Grimm." Puce sniped.
"Puce, I don't expect a poor woman to know what the elite struggle with. Now, as for you, young lady, you will clean yourself up for you to apologize the Schnees." Kale said.
Kelly was still shaking but spoke up.
"No." Kelly said finding a sense of nerve.
"Wrong answer!" Kale said unsheathing her katana slashing through the unit containing the rabbits slaughtering them.
Kelly screamed as the blood splattered all over her and Puce. She was hyperventilating holding Cinnabon closer to her as Kale inched closer with a slasher's scowl. Puce got in the way fully intending to protect Kelly.
"I don't know what you're doing, Puce, but get the fuck out of my way!" Kale said glaring at her maid.
"BACK OFF!" Puce said unleashing a sonic scream sending Kale through the wall.
Puce had a semblance, one that allows to weaponize sound. Puce tackled her and a struggled ensured. Kelly sat there for a moment only for Puce to be kicked through the door with Kale readying her sword. Before Puce could scream, Kale had her foot on her throat choking her.
"Time, I put you down, Puce. Say hello to your brother in hell for me!" Kale said readying her sword.

Kelly's eyes had went white and Cinnabon ran under the bed. Kale would look up at her daughter to see her transformation. Kelly green fur grew over her body and Puce could only look in horror. Whatever she transformed into, it seemed to merely combine the most dangerous parts of animals together with a humanlike shape. Kelly glared down at her mother before unleashing a savage roar.
"Oh Oum no…." Puce said weakly before starting to laugh. "Looks like you're screwed."
Kale raised her sword about to attack only to get backhanded through the same hole in the wall. The ZenBeast was loose.
[Cues: Altitude. - lost / found]
Kelly would awake twenty minutes later on the living room floor naked and exhausted. Puce aided her up and got her a robe.
"What happened?" Kelly said weakly.
"Your mom killed your pets and tried to kill me, and you went Zenbeast." Puce said worriedly.
Kelly felt terrified that she became that form considering the most dangerous part of her semblance.
"And the servants?" Kelly asked frightened.
"You killed Najavo. Popped her head like an animal cracker." Puce said with a laugh.
"And…Kale?" Kelly said coldly.
Kelly saw that the torn-up pieces of her mother all over the place, but Kelly could only sigh.
"Don't worry, I already had the servants pack most of your things in your room to a storage unit within Mantle. You need to get dressed so we get the hell out of here." Puce said as Kelly went up to her room to get into clothes.
The process was slow but only for Kelly to process all that had happened. Today, her life would change forever. Donning dark clothing, she took up her swords in their sheaths, Cobalt Crush and Princess Punisher. Kelly knew she was going to disappear and had an idea of "who" would take her place. Using her semblance, a rabbit faunus seemingly took her place as Kelly came down.
"Puce, I'm ready." Kelly said with her duffel bag packed. "And call me….Caeruleum."
Papyrus would come back to an empty home, the remains of his wife all over the place, and the place torn up. He sought out the servants but only found Najavo's corpse. He should have been mad, but he saw opportunity in all of this.
"Hello, insurance money." He said to himself rubbing his hands together.
