Everyone watched in silent shock as the dust began to settle. Soon to their surprise there were two silhouettes in the fading cloud. Yang's eyes widened before looking to the empty seat next to her. "No way, when did he…?" Even Cardin was impressed. "I know he's fast, but holy shit. There's no way he's human." he said. The dust finally settled to reveal Krayix standing protectively in front of a cowering Blake.

Pyrrha sighed in relief, knowing that her friend was safe. However, she grew concerned when Krayix struggled to stay upright. "Blake, you ok?" the human Toa asked his faunas girlfriend. "Yes." Blake said trembling thankful Krayix had been nearby. "That's good." Krayix said before passing out. "KRAYIX!" Blake, the rest of team RWBY and Pyrrha yelled before rushing to his side.

{RWBY Vol. 2 intro plays}

Teams RWBY and JNPR waited outside the hospital wing while Ozpin and Goodwitch talked with the Nurse. Out of them, Pyrrha and Blake looked the worst. Pyrrha, because she might have fatally hurt a friend. And Blake because she thought it was her fault that Krayix was in critical condition. Ozpin then came out turning to Blake.

"Krayix will recover, but he asks that you dodge next time, Ms. Belladonna." Ozpin said as Blake's ears folded backwards. She felt someone embrace her. It was Pyrrha. "I'm so sorry Blake, if I hadn't…" Blake sighed. "I don't blame you Pyrrha, you didn't think it'd happen." Ozpin smiled. "Ms. Xiao Long," He began. Yang looked at the headmaster.

"Krayix, would like you to take his place for the time being." The buxom blonde raised an eyebrow. "Teach them while he's in the medical wing. He'll teach Ms. Nikos his fire stance once he's out. Also, go easy with the earth stance when sparring." Jaune spoke up whilst rubbing his nose. "Why yang?" he asked as his nose twitched. "Because I was the first to…. You ok jaune?" Yang said before noticing her fellow blonde trying to hold in a sneeze.

"Yeah. It's just… ACHOO!" Jaune said before sneezing. A gust of wind went through the hall causing Weiss to push down her skirt. "You dolt what was that for!" she yelled as a sheet of ice formed under jaune's feet. "WAAAHH!" Jaune screamed while flailing his arms about before landing on his back. "Hm, it appears that all the elemental holders here have been found." Ozpin mused. "Here sir?" Blake asked. the headmaster nodded. "The bearer of the elemental power of stone doesn't go to beacon. At least that's what Krayix said." he said.

"the bearer is in Vale. Yet I can't tell if the bearer is a boy or girl. Let alone WHERE in Vale he/she is." Everyone turned to Ruby. "Krayix taught me how to sense energy levels." She said. "Since Krayix temporarily put me in charge. I think it's best we work on the control of your elements you three before we search for the bearer of stone." Yang said placing her hands on her hips.

2 months later

Krayix watched as Weiss and Jaune sparred, using their respective weapons. "I'm impressed Yang." He said to the meditating blonde next to him. "How so?" she asked. "He half expected you to go after the bearer of the element of stone." Ren said also in a mediative position. "True." Yang said opening an eye as Blake and Pyrrha came into view arms clashing in a flash of red and blue elemental aura. "How are thing's going?" Krayix and Yang turned to see Ozpin and Goodwitch. "Good. Headmaster." The human toa said. "Krayix, I would like to say that team RWBY are exempt from my class due to their newfound abilities as are Mr. Arc and Ms. Nikos." Goodwitch said.

Is it because of that or is it because you don't want them to wreck your room again?" Krayix asked with a raised eyebrow. "Both." Goodwitch said with a deadpan. Krayix chuckled. "Krayix, I'd like you to take the Toa Vale and find its final member." Ozpin said. "They aren't Toa, not yet." Krayix said sternly before grinning. "I like that name though."

Later in Vale.

"So, the headmaster allowed us to bring our weapons?" Jaune asked. "Yes. A toa's weapon is just as important as their abilities." Krayix said. "now, normally I would have you pick your weapons from a Suva, but since you're already in tune with the weapons you have…." The six toa in training nodded at Krayix's implication.

"White fang." Blake said pointing at two individuals. "we should follow." Yang said. "agreed, I have a feeling that they'll lead us to the bearer of stone." The group of eight tailed the two until they met up with two people.

"That's Roman Torchwick. The woman I don't know." Blake said. Krayix's eyes widened when he sensed the bearer of stone. "It's her." He muttered. "Who?" Weiss asked. "The woman next to Torchwick." Everyone looked at him. "You're joking right?" Yang said before looking at the other elemental aura sensor of the group. "he isn't lying sis." Ruby said. "Great." Jaune said sarcastically.

Neopolitan or Neo as roman called her, couldn't shake the feeling that she was being watch. 'Can we hurry this up Luv. I think I may have someone stalking me.' she thought, eyes darting back and forth. "You alright neo?" Roman asked. Neo typed on her scroll before showing him. "Come now Neo, you know the white fang are serious about security." He said. "Really now?" a voice said.

The two turned to see a man in a grey hoodie and sleeveless high collared brown trench coat. "I don't see any of those Rahi people around. "Rahi people?" Roman asked. Neo immediately typed something and showed roman. "you mean the faunas." Roman said for her. The man rolled his eyes and ranted to himself making not only the thieves sweat drop, but the rookie Toa Vale as well.

"I'm such a Kohli head. Why do I keep forgetting that." The man said "You ok there?" Torchwick asked thinking this guy was a tad crazy. "sorry bout that. It's hard adjusting to life after sleeping for 750,000 years." Ignoring the last bit, roman decided to get down to business. "Who are you and what do you want?" he demanded. "The name's Toa Krayix and I actually came looking for her." The man said pointing at Neo. The ice cream themed girl backed up.

Krayix was about to step forward when he saw the woman's uneasiness. "I'm not going to hurt you." He said before a blade touched his throat. "Don't move." The man said as more goons entered the area. "Gentlemen, before we begin. I'd like to let you know," Krayix's cheerful demeanor quickly turned deathly serious. "Toa don't fight alone."

The Bullheads behind Roman and Neo exploded as a fuel tank flew into them. "What the?" Roman said as a wake of water swept multiple men into the sea. That's when he saw a familiar figure charge at the goons. "Red!?" he thought. "Neo care to take care of little red riding hood while I deal with our unwanted guest." Neo nodded and dashed forward. "I don't think so." A voice said as ice appeared in front of Neo. 'What the?' the petite heterochromatic girl said shocked as she slipped and fell.

Jaune swung his sword attempting to hit a white fang soldier. The soldier dodged the swing, but his weapon was cut in two. "the hell?" she said in surprise. Jaune chuckled. "power of air. Gotta love it." He said before bashing the soldier with his shield.

Pyrrha charged at more white fang soldiers while igniting the tip of milo. Swinging it, the spartan launched a stream of fire setting multiple enemies ablaze. One thug attempted to punch her. Pyrrha spun milo one handed to block the fist and returned it with a roundhouse kick to the jaw.

[Time to say goodbye; RWBY ost ends]

Krayix followed Roman to the top of a crane. "Why do you want Neo?" the crime lord yelled over the crackling fire and howling winds. "She's the elemental bearer of stone. A storm's coming to remnant, I can feel it. The master of shadows will come to this world. We need her help if we're to stop him." Krayix said. "Like hell I'll let you take her." Roman yelled charging with his cane.

[red like roses part II (Caleb Hayes cover); RWBY ost plays]

Krayix sighed before unsheathing one of his swords. Roman slammed his cane against the blade. 'Wow, he's strong.' Krayix thought grunting. Roman smirked having caught the "Toa" off guard. His expression turned into confusion when the man in front of him opened his eyes. His left eye was a solid ice blue with three commas surrounding his pupil (A/N: Think of a blue colored Sharingan) and had electricity sparking from it.

Krayix then swung his sword and sparks flew from every parry the dueling men made. Neo, having recovered from her fall, watched her Father figure fight the stranger. 'I have to admit. That man's pretty good with a blade.' Neo said impressed by "Krayix's" sword skills before rushing to Roman's aid.

"What are you!?" Roman demanded as the two men entered a deadlock. "I am the protector of the weak and defenseless. I am a force of good and a nightmare to the shadows. I am Toa Krayix." The human toa yelled breaking the deadlock before channeling fire aura into his blade.

[Red like Roses part II (Caleb Hayes cover); RWBY ost ends]

As he swung his cane, roman let his guard down. Krayix swung upwards whilst cutting roman's lower right arm off at the elbow. "AARGH!" the ginger haired man screamed in pain, stumbling towards the edge of the catwalk that didn't have a barrier.

'Oh no.' Krayix thought as he rushed to save the man. "I got ya." He said gripping Roman's remaining hand. "Why save me?" Roman asked. "I'm not that kind of man." Krayix said as Neo approached. Roman looked to the girl he saw as a daughter. "You're slipping." Krayix said desperately trying to keep his grip on the ginger to pull him up. Neo watched with tears in her eyes as roman sighed sadly 'Please luv, don't.'

Krayix felt a spike in elemental spike from Neo but he had to focus on saving the ginger haired man first. "Please, look after her. I was like a father to her." Roman said before his grip faded completely. "NOOO." Krayix yelled as he watched Roman fall and get impaled by a jagged piece of wreckage. The human toa lowered his head in sadness before getting up. He turned to apologize to the mute, but he jumped at what he saw.

Neo had turned into a statue. It was apparent that she was going to attack Krayix by the positioning of the parasol. "Krayix are you…" Blake began to ask but she covered her mouth when she saw Neo. "Roman's dead. I tried to save him." Krayix said picking up his sword and roman's hat. "You tried to save him. Why?" Blake asked. "Toa never kill unless forced to." Krayix said putting both items away to who knows where.

"Ok, time to free her." Standing in front of the petrified stone form of Neo. "Do we have to?" Yang asked. "Yes, he has to yang. She has the elemental semblance of stone." Jaune said. "I agree with yang." Wiess said. "Roman asked me to protect her. She was like a daughter to him." Krayix said.

Ruby looked at her squabbling fellow toa in training. "ENOUGH ALL OF YOU!" she yelled gaining the attention of everyone. "I don't like the idea either…., but if Krayix says we need her to finished our toa team then so be it." Krayix smiled solemnly. "Thank you ruby. A team leader sometimes has to make the difficult decisions and you made the decision." Ruby was confused.

"What do you mean?" she asked. "You are a future Toa of Matter. How I know this is because your energy level is the same as mine." Before anyone could comment he continued. "Yes, fire is usually the leader of a toa team. However, as part of the Toa Metru, I often found myself in that role due to Vakama's lack of confidence at filling Lhikan's shoes. I assume that's how the saying goes."

Krayix turned to Neo and applied Aura to her. Slowly cracks began to form and pieces fell. Neo let out a breathe when the stone mouth broke apart. The ice cream themed girl brought a hand to her head. "oh, what the devil happened" she said.

"I thought she was a mute!?" Weiss said in shock. "Of course, I'm a mute ye daft…. Wait, is this my voice?" Neo said in shock. "it appears I did more than un-petrify her." Krayix said scratching the back of his head. "What do you mean you did more than un-petrify her?" Yang demanded. "Miss Torchwick, you weren't born mute were you?" Krayix asked as Neo glared at him. "Why should I answer you? You killed the one person I considered family." She said.

"He didn't kill Roman, my boyfriend tried to save him." Blake said gaining the heterochromatic woman's attention. "I saw Krayix try to pull roman up and onto the catwalk." Everyone, minus Neo, bowed their heads now knowing the full story of how Roman had died. "The last thing he did was ask me to look after you. Said you were like a daughter to him." Krayix said holding out roman's hat. Neo shakingly took it.

"I had an accident that scarred my vocal cords." She said answering Krayix's earlier question. "So, why'd you want me to go with you in the first place?" the group of eight looked at each other before explaining what Neo had. To say the least, the petite woman was shocked and vowed to use her newfound elemental semblance to help people.

{RWBY end Credits}

A/N: So, ends the second arc of book one. Roman's death was going to happen either way, but I figured he deserved a better fate than being eaten alive by a Grimm. Next up will be the third and final arc of this story. Bear in mind that Krayix has yet to meet penny. So, introductions with Krayix will not go well with her being a robot. Vahki were basically the robotic police force in Metru Nui. For what Neo sounds like search RWBY Thoughts on YouTube. As always read and review. I appreciate constructive criticism. That being said. peace.
