Chapter 1
--
"You want to be a hero? Then play the part and die like every other Huntsman in history! As for me, I'll do what I do best: lie, steal, cheat and survi-!" said Roman Torchwick (a 27 year old man with slanted, dark-green eyes and bright, long, orange hair, with long bangs covering his right eye. Black eyeliner traced his visible left eye. Wearing a red-lined white suit with long black pants and black shoes. His accessories included a small gray scarf, black gloves with buckled sleeves, and a black bowler hat with a sm
all feather tucked into its red band.) said to Ruby Rose. As he was about to be eaten by a grimm his life flashed before his eyes
"Man how did it end like this" thought Roman as he was about to be eaten thinking back to when he was a boy trying to take over the world, a boy called jack spicer and how his life turned out this way.
--flash back--
Roman/jack pov
A teen about 15 with pale skin, red eyes and with red hair held back by a pair of goggles wearing make-up under his eyes and wearing a black jacket,black leather pants and black boots,with red and white striped sleeveless shirt.
This was me before I was Roman Torchwick I know I did not have the fashion sense I have now back then I was Jack Spicer evil boy genius and I was Looking at a map and going on a rant, but little did I know this was the day I would begin my journey to what lead me to my fate.
"I want to rule the whole world! All of it! Not some of it. Not just Iceland or Fiji. I wanna rule the whole world!" Said jack
"Pardon me, sir". said jackbot 2121
"What? Can't you see I'm on an evil rant here?"asked jack
"Yes, sir, but your father sent you a gift from Hong Kong." said jack
"Oh, a puzzle box. Oh, let's see. And my prize is… a mask? Lame. All right, back to world conquest. My favorite pastime. Now, let's see. Europe might not be a bad place to start. Or is that too obvious? Could go in for the unexpected, like Paraguay. But is that enough of an attention grabber? Could go down through Africa, over to South America and--" ranted jack only to stop when he heard a raspy voice
"Onward to Asia" said the raspy voice
"Spooky ghost lady! Jackbots Attack!" Yelled jack only for them to pass right through her
"Plans for world conquest? My dear boy, we have much in common. What's your name?"asked the raspy voiced ghost
"Jack Spicer. Who are you? What are you?" Asked Jack
"Me? I'm your new best friend" said wuya
--end flashback--
After that meeting my life revolved around those Shen Gong Wu and in the Shaolin and Heylin dealing with people like the shaolin monks, chase young, and Hannibal Roy Bean just to name a few,but to them I am a joke, a fool and a push over. Heck it was because of Shen Gong Wu that I ended up in this predicament in the first place, but I'm getting ahead of myself.
It all started like this.
--flashback--
Jack spicer was in his workshop building a machine that will teleport him from place to place so it will make snatching wu from The Shaolin monks and the rest of the heylin. it will also be able to teleport a person to the liar with a photo and information of the location of the person.
"If I knew what I knew then what I knew now honestly I'd would have scrapped it" said roman
Jack pulls up his goggles as he turn of his torch
"Once I finish this machine powered by the eye of dashi it should be a piece of cake to snatch the wu from those Shaolin losers ." Said Jack
" I've learned over the years to never say that. It only just leads to jinxing yourself in getting you in trouble. It would have happened to me many times if it wasn't for Neo." Narrated Roman
"Hahahaha…. Go jack" said jack as he started the victory dance badly.
" In my defense I was an awkward teenage shut-in whose only friends was his robots" said roman as he was embarrassed by his past self
"I like to thing my style and dancing has gotten better." Said Roman as he remembers the last time he was dancing with neo at the safe house after a successful heist
"Oh yeah with this machine should be able to snatch wu quicker than the Golden tiger claws and automatically be brought back. I am an evil genius!" Yelled jack as he was setting up for the first test standing on top of the machine with a button
" With this machine I will show all of them that I mean business and will rule the world" said Jack as he pushed the button and activated the machine only for enormous amounts of energy to surround the machine as it teleports him knocking out all the power in the building.
—-- remnant—--
"Uh… where the heck am I" said jack as the dust clears and he sees the outline of a building as he sees he was in a Alley and saw a newspaper goes and picks it up.
"We're the heck is vale?" Yelled Jack panicking.
—--end flashback—--
"Well I learned two things that day: first , always put a destination when trying to teleport to places you could end up anywhere and second never use wu for a power Source. It overpowered the machine and sent me to a new universe. The machine was supposed to bring me back after 10 minutes as long as it had power." Said roman
" In all honesty I got lucky. Vale was mostly like America with it's language and culture but there was few things different about this world. First was the Grimm nasty creatures that eat humans, second the faunus humans with animal appendages and traits and third hunters people that were superpowered not by wu but by auras that gave unique abilities to each individual."said Roman
"Anyway after figuring out there was no way for me to get home. I started to do anything to survive. I would like,steal, cheat and con the people of Vale using my intelligence and trained myself in the art of thieving until I turned 16, I made my way to minstrel and unfortunately getting involved with Little Misses gang. I was in her gang until I was 20 when I met a 12 year old girl with Neapolitan hair who I would later care for like my family. After meeting with neo I left little Misses gang after a grand endeavor with neo that started our partnership and lead is to being some of the most notorious criminals in all of Vale. which eventually leading us to cross paths with cinder fall which leads me to now about to be eaten by a Grimm as I fight little Red. Do I regret my decisions in my life? No I would do most of them over in heartbeat except throwing my hat in with cinder and her brats. I would have taken neo on a vacation for a year instead. Oh well can't change the past. I just regret not showing the Shaolin and Heylin that the person that they called nothing but a joke, a fool or a loser made something of himself." Said Roman as the Grimms beck was about to swallow him when his body started to glow with particles and he was teleported away.
—----jacks lair—--
As Roman was fighting Ruby the Shaolin monks were walking through the lair in the dark it's been year since anyone has seen jack spicer and the monks were looking for wu that was in jack possession last
"I wonder what that varmint has been up to?"said clay as he pushed open the door.
"I don't know clay, maybe he finally got the hint and stopped trying to get Wu."said kimiko holding a flashlight as raimundo found the fuse box and flipped the switch turning on the lights
"Let's just grab the wu and get out of here before we run into the loser it's been two years since we seen him"said raimundo
" Yes jack spicer must be down to no good we must be careful"said Omi as they found most of the wu except for the monkey staff
"It's up to no good Omi." Said raimundo
"That's what I said." Said omi
"let's just grab the wu and get back to the temple."said dojo after that the Shaolin warriors leave with the wu back to the temple not noticing the machine going active and teleporting Roman back to this universe. Roman opens his eyes slowly and lowers his cane and blinks
"Ha even in the face of death Roman torchwick makes a grand escape."yelled Roman then he realized something
" Where the heck am I now?"said Roman as he steps off the platform goes over to a computer and blows the dust off it and turns it on as it comes on he recognizes the logo as his when he was 15. He then looks around and sees all his old inventions.
"I can't believe I am in my old lair." Said Roman
"Talk about pure luck, am I right Neo?" Said Roman only to realize Neo was not with him
"Oh shit Neo!" Yelled Roman as he ran back to the machine and turned it on typing in neos location and pulled a photo from his scroll of her.
" Here we go." Said Roman as he type Neapolitan and remnant to bring her here
Error insufficient power
"What! No no no!" Yelled Roman as he slammed his fist on the dash then remembered the Eye of dashi
"Where the hell is the Eye of dashi!" Yelled Roman as he looked to the side and seen cameras on the wall; they are hooked to the houses main breaker so they should record while he was gone.
"Ok just need to look back on the cameras and find out which of the wanna be heroes or villains raided his lair. I'll start with today and see what turned on the power to the machine" Said roman as he looked at the camera and saw and heard what the monks said about him and saw them collect the Wu. Roman grip his can in anger as he watches the screen he was about to make his way to the temple when he got a look at his attire.
"Right first I need to fix my attire and get a shower Atlas holding cells don't have showers. Second I need to find out how long I have been gone and what events I have missed and third I need to plan and get my cane fixed and I am not sure if there is any Wu still here so I will have to check." Said Roman as he calmed down a bit grabbing a cigar from his coat, noticing it was his last one and lights it.
" Another thing to add to the list." Said Roman as he turn and seen Jackbot 2121 deactivate on the workbench goes over and turns it on
" Power on! intruder alert! scanning …. Scanning complete identified Jack spicer." Said Jackbot 2121
" Pardon me sir, I did not recognize you." Said jackbot2112
" It's fine I am going to take a shower I need you to get everything operational and get me another pair of clothes like these along with a bowler hat." Ordered Roman taking off his coat
"Yes sir, right away sir."said jackbot2121
—--time skip—--
It's been a few hours Jackbot 2121 has gotten everything back in working order as Roman is standing in front of a mirror straightening his ascot and putting his hat on.
"Alright 2121 that will do. I need you to get me information for the last few years!"order Roman as he walked to the workbench to repair his Cane as well as attempt to connect his scroll to the network system on this planet which takes him a few hours to do as he finishes Jackbot2122 brought him the information requested.
" So in this world I have only been gone for 2 years and nothing has changed with the heylin and the Shaolin they are still battling for Wu."said Roman rubbing his chin as he began planning
" First I am going to need money that should be easy to get I'll just need to find low profile targets to steal from them. I need to get in contact with the black market and an information broker to build my connections." Said Roman as he walked to a room and walked to a wall on typed a code in and the wall opened and Roman pulled out the Monkey staff
" Of course this is the only Wu I have in my possession." Said Roman as he looked to his right and saw his old Wu tracker.
" This may come in handy." Said Roman as he started his work over the next few days he stole a fortune and got in contact with the black market getting him a new identity and buying a property and moving everything to the new lair.
" No more living in my parent's basement. Not that they even notice." Said Roman as he took out his scroll and looked at a picture of him and neo
" Now that's done I need to get the eye of dashi back so I can reunite with neo." Said Roman as he puts the scroll up as the Wu tracker starts to go off.
"Talk about good timing. Now let's see where this Wu is!"said Roman as he looked at the tracker showing Iceland.
"Iceland why Iceland." Complained Roman as he went to his Jet
—--iceland—--
The flight to Iceland only took a few hours as Roman starts to land the jet and get off the plane with the tracker in hand
"According to the tracker the Wu is ten minutes to the north." Said Roman as he began walking that way when he seen the Shaolin monks along with chase young, Hannibal Roy bean and wuya in her human form about to fight.
" Chase young, you will not get the swift feather. Said Omi as he was face to face with chase.
" I am not interested in the Wu young Omi." Said chase
" The answer is no, I'll never join the heylin." Said Omi
" Pity." Said chase as this was going on wuya and Hannibal Roy bean we're facing off against the other monks
"Moby Morpher!" Yelled Hannibal as he flung his vine arms at Raimondo and clay
" This varmint is get on my nerves." Said Clay
" You can say that again but he is not as annoying as spicer."said Raimundo as he blasted Hannibal with wind.
" I'll Agree with y'all that spicer was an annoyance." Said Roy as he got back up. While wuya and kimiko were fighting each other.
" Aren't you getting a little old for this wuya you old hag." Said kimiko
" Old hag I am barely 3000 for that you will pay." Said wuya as she started blasting at kimiko
While all this was going on Roman just walked past them and grabbed the Wu and puts it in his hat.
" Man they just don't change." Said Roman as he hear the comments about him and gets annoyed
" Now that's just rude." Said Roman as he aims his cane at them and fires it. It exploded on the ground getting their attention.
" Good now that I have your attention I already have the Wu so have a good day." Said Roman as he turned walked back to his plane only to be stopped by Omi grabbing his arm
" Kind sir you don't understand the power that is Wu, would you please hand it over to me?" Asked Omi
" Let go of me cheeseball!"said Roman as he kicked Omi into the monks
"Ah a new player in the game let me int…" started wuya but she was interrupted by Roman
" I already know you Wuya. I see you are still hanging off chase young like a coat." Said Roman
"Why you?" Said wuya about to claw at Roman when he held out his cane at her face
" I could care less even if you have a body now." Said Roman as all eyes were on him
" Do I know you, you seem familiar.? Asked Chase young looking at the man in front of him
" Once a lifetime ago when I was doing this song and dance with the Shaolin losers." Said Roman
" Wait a minute, cheeseball, Shaolin losers, those sound like something Jack spicer would say." Said Dojo popping up on Romans shoulder
"Get off me you overgrown gecko." Said Roman pushing dojo off him
"Gecko!" Said Dojo only to realize one person called him that.
" Holy cow your Jack spicer!" Yelled dojo
" Spicer!" Said clay, Raimondo, kimiko and Hannibal at the same time shocked
" Jack spicer!" Said Omi
" Now that I look closely I see it." Said Chase
" Jack!"said wuya shocked as she was one of the only one to be concerned about jack being missing now turning up fully grown
" I was but I grew out of It." Said Roman as he turned and started to head back to his Jet when chase young grabbed his arm.
" Where do you think you are going worm, you have some explaining to do?" Order Chase only for him to be blasted in the chest by Romans Cane 30ft.
" I don't owe you anything dragon boy." Said roman as he takes out a cigar and lights it. Looking at them
" I haven't been Jack spicer the evil boy genius in 12 years. The name is Roman torchwick the master thief."Said Roman looking at all of them then turns to the monks
" I have some business with you Shaolin losers.said Roman taking a drag from his cigar
