Team RWBY and Professor Oobleck were shocked at what was before them. "Incredible, these cylinders appear to be some sort of stasis containers." Oobleck said as he looked into one of them. "it looks like some kind of vehicle to me." Ruby said noticing a steering mechanism in another. Yang noticed that one was active. "hey, that one's sealed but has a viewing window in it." She said. "They all have viewing windows, you dolt." Wiess said. "Yeah, but that cylinder's window isn't shattered. And it appears to be frosted over." Yang countered. Blake and Ruby slowly and cautiously approached the active stasis cylinder. "Ms. Rose, and Ms. Belladonna I wouldn't get too close if I were you." Oobleck warned. "Who do you think is in there?" Ruby asked her Faunas friend. "I Don't know, but we're about to find out." Blake said wiping some of the frost away. Blake immediately jerked backwards and fell on her butt when she saw who was in the cylinder. "It's him. The man from the vision I had earlier." Ruby and the others turned to the now visible occupant of the cylinder. He appeared to be in his late teens with wrapped bangs framing his face and a cloth headband.

"Wow, talk about handsome." Yang said looking at the unconscious man. "I hate to say this, but I agree with Yang, he's quite the looker." Wiess said as ruby zipped all over the canister. "Ruby, what are you doing?" Blake asked trying to avoid looking at the sleeping man with a tint of red on her cheeks. "looking for the wake up button." Ruby placed her palm on the side of the canister while looking behind it. Yang squawked in surprise when the canister began to glow. "RUBY, YOU DOLT!" Wiess said causing the fifteen year old to jump and remove her hand. To everyone's shock and Ruby's confusion the glow subsided. "By Oum, that was interesting." Oobleck muttered. "Ms. Rose could you touch the canister again, but keep your hand on it for a few moments?" Ruby looked at the professor with a questioning glance, but complied.
As soon as her hand touched the canister, it began to glow. Oobleck rubbed his chin. "It seems to react to your aura Ms. Rose. You may remove your hand by the way." He said. Ruby nodded and began to lift her hand only for it to not budge. "I can't." she said in a panicked tone. While grabbing her wrist and placing a boot on the canister. Yang, Blake, Oobleck, and Wiess took hold of ruby's wrist and pulled. Suddenly the glowing stopped and everyone fell onto their backs. Blake and Ruby were the first to stand as the canister let out a hiss of high pressured air.

Blake watched as the canister door opened. For some reason Ruby felt that she and the stranger in the canister were somehow connected. Blake took notice that the man had the same clothes on from her vision. "Who do you think he is?" yang asked. "We won't know until he wakes up." Oobleck said as a cough emanated from the figure making the group of five to back up. The man blinked and rubbed his eyes obviously disoriented from being in stasis. He stumbled about before noticing Oobleck and Team RWBY.

"Who are you. Are you allies with the brotherhood?" he asked in his native tongue while getting into a fighting stance. Everyone, save for Ruby, were wondering what he said. "No, we aren't with the brotherhood. We're huntresses in training, we fight Grimm." Ruby said waving her hands as if to ward off any tension. Everyone blinked. "Ms. Rose I didn't now you spoke such an old language." Oobleck asked as Ruby gained a comical question mark over her head. "You speak Matoran? How." The man asked. "I have no idea." Ruby said scratching her head. "Rubes ask him if he speaks English." Yang said before taking up a defensive posture.
Ruby shrugged and looked at the man "My friends can't understand what you're saying. Do you speak English?" she asked the man's eyebrows raised. "the language I spoke before becoming a toa? Of course." He said. "Forgive my hostilities, you all startled me. it was muscle reflex." Oobleck nodded. "I understand. May we know your name?" the man relaxed his posture and nodded. "I am Krayix; Toa of Matter." He said. "Now I have a question. What are Grimm. Are they some form of Makuta?" Blake approached him. "No, a Grimm is a creature of darkness without a soul and is attracted to negative emotions." She said wondering what a makuta and a toa was. 'Makuta, while having a soul, are creatures made from shadows. So, these so-called Grimm aren't makuta.' Krayix thought. Suddenly something caught his eye. Frowning, he summoned his swords, and regained a fighting stance. The girls dropped into their respective stances, save for ruby. Said girl noticed that his attention wasn't focused on them. Turning around she gasped before using her semblance to hide behind Krayix. He gave her a questioning glance before resuming his glare. "Yang, behind you." Ruby said pointing a finger past her older half-sister.
Raising an eyebrow, yang glanced behind her before turning her body around as a creature emerged from the shadows. the rest of team RWBY and Oobleck followed yang's actions and stood next to Krayix. "What are those things, some new type of Grimm?" Wiess said raising Myrtenaster. "No. worse." Krayix said in a low and stern tone. "they're Vahki." Yang activated her shotgun gauntlets and Blake turned gambol shroud into its pistol form as the vahki slowly approached the group of six.

A/N: chapter 2 in the bag. You're probably wondering why Ruby is the only one able to understand Krayix. Well, that'll be explained later in the story. I will say this though. Krayix and Ruby are connected in a way. That being said please read and review. Constructive criticism is allowed
