"How does Yang have an elemental power?" Wiess asked as team RWBY, Pyrrha, Jaune, and Goodwitch headed to Ozpin's office. "Remember when I said that you, Blake, and yang were as strong as my former team." Krayix said as Wiess nodded. "well, I wasn't kidding. However, truth be told, I didn't expect her to have an elemental power." Blake pondered this information. "If that's the case wouldn't that mean Wiess, ruby, and I have elemental powers as well." Krayix nodded. "Time will tell what elements you five possess."
Yang looked to Krayix. "Five?" she asked. "During your fight yang, I sensed that Ms. Nikos and Mr. Arc had energy levels as high as you three. In fact, Pyrrha's elemental aura spiked slightly before you two clashed. "Don't you mean six?" Pyrrha asked. "Ruby's energy level is on par with mine. Therefore, it's five." Krayix said as they stood before Ozpin's office.

"So, the trembling earlier was Miss Xiao Long's doing?" Ozpin asked. "And mine. I intercepted the punch so it wouldn't kill Ms. Nikos." Krayix said sheepishly. "I see. Assuming you have experience with these elemental powers you wish to teach her how to harness and control her new power correct?" the human toa nodded. "As well as the rest of the students here once their elemental powers surface." Ozpin nodded.
"Understood. Use the emerald forest for her training area. There's a portion that's Grimm free unless you wish for her to use them as practice dummies." Krayix smiled. "I'll keep that in mind, but first she'd need to learn how to harness and control it." he said. "How will she learn that?" Wiess asked. Krayix grinned.
Later in team RWBY's dorm
"MEDITATION?" Yang practically yelled. The rest of her team, save for Krayix, sweat dropped. "Um Krayix, yang isn't one to do that." Ruby said. "She'll have to accept stepping out of her comfort zone, otherwise she could wreck the school or hurt people." Krayix said giving Ruby a side glance. "When I decided to become a huntress, I did it for the thrill. I'd go with the flow." Yang said with a down cast look on her face.
"No one can control fate yang, but we can control our destiny." Krayix said gaining the blonde brawler's attention. "when my toa team and I saved the matoran of Metru Nui. We gave up our powers, but for some reason I kept my toa power. I guess that I still have something to do before I can become a Turaga." Yang chuckled. "Toa Yang Xiao Long. Does sound pretty cool." She said grinning before putting on her aviator glasses. "There's a lot more to mastering your element if you're going to become a toa." Krayix said looking at Ruby, whom brought out a notebook.
"Really, what are the other conditions?" Blake asked. "Proving yourself worthy of being a toa and a blessing from Mata Nui himself." The human toa said. "What did it take for you to become a toa?" Wiess asked. Krayix's demeanor immediately darkened as his hair hid his eyes. Blake nudged Wiess with a hard shove while glaring at her. The Schnee realized what she had said. "I'm so sorry that I brought back bad memo…." Krayix gestured for her to stop.
[Sadness and sorrow; Naruto ost plays]
"It's ok Wiess." he said. "You told me your stories but I haven't told you mine." There was a knock. "Come in." Ruby said. the door opened to reveal Team JNPR. "we overheard you guys talking sorry if we were snooping." Pyrrha said. "Not at all." Krayix said before sighing. Team JNPR took up spots in the room awaiting Krayix's story.
[Sadness and Sorrow; Naruto ost ends]
"It happened a long time ago in the time before time." Krayix began getting a few raised eyebrows at the "time before time" phrase. "the matoran came to remnant through unknown means and I was in charge of protecting them, but that's a story for another time." The human toa said as he took out seven colored stones. Both teams jumped as the stones shot from Krayix's hand and landed on the ground. "the matoran originally came from a place called Metru Nui, which is where I'm from." Krayix said
"The toa team I was once a part of were originally matoran." Krayix said as six different colored matoran appeared. Team RWBY easily recognized them as the future Toa Metru. "Nuju was a seeker searching for knowledge from the stars." Krayix said as he spoke of the rest of the matoran. However, Krayix paused at the Ta-Matoran.
"Then there was my dear friend Vakama. He and I were Kanohi makers. Kanohi is translated to masks." Krayix said chuckling as ruby wrote it down. "We would make them from kanoka which translates to disks in matoran." The toa said as ruby finished writing. "One day we were visited by Vakama's predecessor Toa Lhikan. He gave Vakama a toa stone which can be used by matoran to turn into toa. However, only chosen matoran can use said stones." Krayix frowned
"Shortly after he was arrested by the Dark hunters, mercenaries hired by our Turaga at the time." Blake took note of the anger in Krayix's voice when he said the word Turaga. Krayix went on to tell his team and Team JNPR about his adventure to become a toa. He stopped when he reached the point of his tale in which he, Vakama, Nokama, and Matau reunited with Nuju, Whenua, and Onewa. "You ok?" Blake asked. Krayix closed his eyes.
"The latter part of my tale is a bit emotional for me." he opened his eyes when felt someone grasp his right hand. Krayix saw that Blake was holding it and had a reassuring smile on her face which again reminded him of Nokama. The human toa nodded and continued his story as he grasped Blake's hand with his. "We told them that we had originally come for toa Lhikan whom Vakama believed was still alive due to seeing Lhikan's spirit star still burning in the sky." Krayix said
"Who was that mysterious Turaga with them?" Nora asked. "To our shock, the mystery Turaga turned out to be Lhikan himself." Krayix said. "then came the shocking revelation. Vakama accidentally opened one of those spherical containers. Inside was Turaga Dume. The real Turaga Dume." This time everyone noticed the anger in Krayix's voice. "If Turaga Dume was inside those spherical containers you saw, then who…" Jaune began to ask.
"A being that was sworn to protect the matoran from a distance, but grew jealous of Mata Nui. He became dark and evil, tainted by the very shadows he controlled." Pyrrha frowned before asking. "What was this being's name?" Krayix looked at with a look that could scare even the most experienced huntsman. "Makuta Teridax." He said in a dark and monotone voice as the image of piercing red eyes entered his mind.
"We confronted him before escaping with six Matoran containers." Krayix said. "Shortly afterwards, Vakama and I faced him. My friend used the Kanohi Vahi. That translates to Great mask of time." Blake began to sense that Krayix was becoming distressed. "Vakama couldn't control the mask's power properly and we were caught in the time wave." The human toa said. "What happened then?" Yang asked.
"Makuta sent a tendril of darkness towards Vakama. I tried to get in front of Vakama." Krayix said before Wiess spoke up. "You'd sacrifice yourself to save others?" she asked. "In a heartbeat,. However, I was affected by the time wave and was too slow." Krayix said as tears began to flow down his face. Everyone thought the worst. "Yet someone saved Vakama. And that someone was…." Krayix nearly broke down crying. "It was Lhikan. He used his swords as a shield to prevent the tendril from grabbing Vakama. The backlash was too much for him and he perished after acknowledging us as toa." A bright light engulfed the room
Both teams found themselves overlooking a silver colored sea. They looked around. 'This must be where it happened. Lhikan's death, but where are…' Blake thought before a human tumbled by her and the others. "Krayix are you ok?" a red armored golem asked. "Yeah Vakama, but my right arm's out of commission." The human said holding his apparently broken right arm. Blake was about to rush up beside Krayix, but was stopped by Pyrrha. "This is a simulation. It isn't real. Anything you do won't help them." She said as Blake fought to get out of her grip. "I need to try." The disguised Faunus said.
"You love him don't you?" Nora asked. Blake froze and nodded. Suddenly, Ruby saw someone. "Um guys, look." She said pointing at it. What they saw was a roughly nine foot golem. "That must be that Teridax guy." Jaune said both unsheathing his sword and activating his shield out of pure instinct. Yang activated Ember Celica. "Don't. just watch." A voice said. everyone turned to see the younger Krayix looking at them as time froze. "It's my memory. Blake wanted to see what happened rather than hear the rest." He said. Blake blushed as all eyes turned towards her.
The memory continued.
Vakama took out what appeared to be the mask of time. "Ah, the mask of time. You two are excellent mask makers." Teridax purred trying to influence the future toa of fire and matter. "Come, join my brothers and me. it is your destiny." Vakama and Krayix looked at each other while Teams RWBY and JNPR watched on. The two gained determined looks. "We desire one great destiny, more than anything you could offer us you bastard." Krayix yelled as Vakama placed the Vahi over his own mask. "Swear jar!" Ruby yelled. "then face your doom." The shadow golem sneered at the two.
[Mask of time; Bionicle 2 ost]
Vakama and Krayix stood their ground as the mask of time activated. The Teams watched with bated breaths as the tendril of shadow clashed with the energy. It slowed but was still moving too fast. The younger Krayix glanced at his friend and the tendril. Vakama's eyes widened as it drew closer. 'He's not going to dodge in time.' The younger Krayix thought. He then moved to intercept the tendril. "NO, DON'T." Blake yelled reaching for the person she loved and not caring that it was a memory.
Out the corner of her eye, yang noticed someone approaching. 'that must be Lhikan.' She thought as the Turaga got hit by the tendril. The two toa and Turaga were knocked to the ground when the Vahi's power backfired making it fly off Vakama's mask and skidded to another pillar. Teridax watched this and chased after it.
[Mask of time; Bionicle 2 ost end and Lhikan's death; Bionicle 2 ost plays]
"Lhikan!" Vakama yelled as he and Krayix rushed to the dying Turaga's side. "That was meant for me." the Turaga weakly shook his head. "No, this is my lifetimes' journey. Both of yours lie beyond mine. I am proud to have called you my brothers, toa Vakama and toa Krayix." Lhikan said removing his mask and giving it to Vakama. Teams RWBY and JNPR watched as the blinking light on Lhikan's chest slowed before completely going dark. Everyone covered their mouths and cried as the younger Krayix leaned into Lhikan's body and yelled the deceased Turaga's name.
[Lhikan's death; Bionicle 2 ost end]
The surrounding area morphed back into team RWBY's dorm. Everyone looked to Krayix, who now had a solemn look on his face. "we defeated Teridax and sealed him away." The human toa picked up the stones and put them back in the bag. "Thank you for listening. I'm sorry if it upset you all." Suddenly, Nora latched onto him and cried. "We're sorry that happened to you." Jaune said. "I need some fresh air to clear my head." Krayix said as Ren pried Nora of him.
"Can I come with you?" Blake asked rubbing her arm." Krayix nodded before they left the room. "I too have secrets that our team and team JNPR know. You already know that I'm a faunas." Blake said as they walked towards the edge of beacon's cliff. "I used to be a member of the white fang." Krayix raised an eyebrow. "the terrorist group?" he asked. Blake nodded "It was once a peaceful protesting group that my father led. Some point after he stepped down it became what it is today. So, I left" She said. Krayix looked at her and remembered Nora's question to the disguised faunas.
"Were you speaking from the heart when Nora asked if you loved me." he asked Blake panicked. "Y-y-you h-h-heard?" she asked. "I was still present when I showed you and the others my memory of Lhikan." Blake looked away before looking at Krayix and giving him a light peck on the lips. The toa blushed. His face turned redder than Pyrrha's hair. "I know you'll outlive me if I don't have an elemental power, but I don't care." Blake said wrapping her arms around Krayix's neck. "I'll take the time I have left with you regardless." Krayix smiled.
"I'll agree to that if you let go of your fear." He said. "Fear?" Blake asked. Krayix pointed to the bow covering her cat ears. "there's nothing to be afraid of. You have the rest of your team to back you up." The human toa said. Blake smiled before undoing the bow and allowed the ribbon to slide out of her hands and gently blow away.
{RWBY end credits}
A/N: chapter 7 finished. Instead of Blake or Wiess discovering their elemental power, I decided to have Teams RWBY and JNPR learn about Krayix's past. Yes the Krayix/Blake pairing has begun. If you have any shipping names better than GoldenCat let me know in the reviews. Next chapter WILL have Blake discovering her element while Yang begins her training. As always, read and review. That being said, peace.
