Backstory
Since the killing of Laughing Jack 2 days ago, there have been 10 other victims found all over Vale. And on a related topic the police have been unable to identify who was Laughing Jack, but they were able to match the late mass murderer to 15 of the 34 murders, and have stated that there might be a second killer as more than half of the murders have not been a mat…. *CLICK*
Professor Ozpin sighed as he took a sip of his coffee and thought of Monday. The 6 young men had walked in and told of the story. In the end he had to pull a miracle out of his ass to prevent anyone else from finding out and stopping the Police Department from demanding a campus search for anyone that might have killed the newest mass murderer in Vales history. So yeah he believes he has the right to rest for a minute.
Only for his scroll to ring and Ironwood showing up on screen. "What does he want this time?" *CLICK* "Yes general?"
"So I've heard that someone killed Laughing Jack, Do you have any idea who did it?" he said while seated and his hands folded, and leaning forward during his question.
Ozpin just took a sip of coffee, "No, I don't."
"Oh, well then," he stated calmly and closed his eyes, only for them to snap open looking livid, and slamming his hands onto the table and half standing, sending his chair flying across the room, "THEN TELL ME WHY YOU NOT ONLY HAVE ONE BUT TWO TEAMS OF OVER-QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE EACH ABLE TO KILL AND WHERE BOTH UNACCOUNTED FOR DURING THE TIME FRAME OF THE MURDER?"
Team SNKE
After the news report the entirety of SNK just looked at Evan as he stomped over to the front door, before turning, "I'm going to Oz, I would suggest you do to." And in less than 5 seconds everyone was fighting to get out the door first.
There was yelling when they got to Ozpin's Office, "YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TELL ME WHO I CAN AND CAN NOT TAKE IN AS A STUDENT IRONWOOD! AND FURTHERMORE YOU CAN NOT BRING UP THEIR PAST AS THEY ALL WHERE UNDER THE AGE OF SEVENTEEN AND YOU KNOW THE DAMN LAW!" said Ozpin, and he sounds PISSED at this Ironwood person.
"FINE, IF YOU DON'T SEE SENSE I'LL GO TO YOUR COUNSEL AND ARREST THEM THAT WAY!" screamed the other person before the CLICK of a scroll being turned off convinced Evan to knock.
"Come in."
When they entered the room they saw Ozpin looking a little more than unsteady, his usually messy but oddly tame hair was everywhere, his shirt was partly untucked, he was missing his scarf, and his jacket sported all kinds of wrinkles.
"Oh, boys, Please do not mind my appearance; I've just had a rough few days." Said Ozpin as he takes off his glasses, laying them on his desk, and putting his face in his hands before looking up and smiling. "So what do you boys need?"
Seeing as he was the reason they were here to begin with Evan spoke, "Sir I wish to take a mission to hunt down the other killer known as Laughing Jack."
Ozpin thought about it while rubbing his chin and paused, "Alright I will make such a mission, but under 2 conditions. The first condition is, you must be accompanied by a teacher and a second year student. And the second is that you must do a team trust exercise. Do we have a deal?"
They all looked at each other before nodding, "It's a deal Professor."
And no sooner had the words left his mouth did the roof open up and the floor act as a spring sending then flying deep into the Emerald Forest. None of them noticing Ozpin disappear and reappear in less than a second, or the letter he slipped into Kevin's Trench Coat
After their landing, and a rather comical face-plant landing by Nico, and a killing of a Beowulf pack. They finally noticed the letter sticking out of Kevin's left coat pocket.
"So, should we read this now and kick his ass? Or kick his ass then read this damn letter?" stated Kevin as he held the letter, all the while half tempted to rip it into tiny pieces.
"Give me that." Stated Shura, snatching the letter out of Kevin's hands before he could proceed to rip it, and read it. "Well this is some bullshit, but it was part of our deal." He said while handing the letter to Nico, to Kevin, and finally to Evan, who upon reading the contents turned ghost pale.
'Dear boys'
'As part of our deal you have to do a team exercise, I have decided that this exercise will be a test of trust. You will not be allowed to exit the forest without telling your teammates each of your past, or at least you can't if you want that mission. So without further ado, I suggest you get started.'
'Sincerely, Professor Ozpin'
"So as leader I guess it is my job to set the example so I guess I'll start" said Shura.
"I was born the first, and last, son of Sol and Amanda Kong. I come from a rich family of Martial Artist known as the Kong Family, and I am the current heir of the family." sigh "A few weeks before my birth my parents were at the hospital for my mother's check-up when my father died trying to prevent an assassination. My mother died soon after giving birth to me because of her grief." At this Shura looked down before continuing.
"My grandfather started training me when I was six, and trained me until he died when I was thirteen. My uncle then took me under his wing and brought me to Atlas and continued my training there. And I'm now a student here at Beacon with a team I wouldn't trade for the most valuable thing on Remnant." he finished with a smile and a fist bump from Kevin.
Seeing as he might as well go ahead, Nico spoke next, "I am the son of James and Alison Bengal, of the Bengal Clan. We are famous for our Nitoryu, a two handed sword style that can be taught to anyone. On the day of my birth my Oto-sama died in an assassination by a knife to the throat, and my Oka-sama died that night by a poison being slipped into her IV."
"Did they ever find out who did it?" Shura interrupted.
"My Oto-sama's killer was killed by a friend of Oto-sama, but he died as well soon after from his wounds. And they did find the nurse who poisoned Oka-sama and found an Anti-Hunter organization that was swiftly put into a maximum security prison with no chance of getting out even after they die there."
"Do you know the name of your father's friend?" Shura asked, and he only receive a shake of Nico's head before he continued.
"Oji-sama started training me in Ittoryu, a one sword style of fighting, when I was 7. And when he died when I was ten, his student took me in and finished my training in Ittoryu, and started my training of Nitoryu when I was 12. He sadly died by Grimm the day I turned 16. And that's my life so far." he finished as formal as always.
Nodding his head Kevin was putting together his courage before stating, "This I probably going to be a long story, so I hope ya'll are comfortable." And after receiving several signs to continue, he sighed and began his story.
"Well ya'll need a little backstory first, about two hundred years ago there were 3 families known as the Flower Families, and these families where; Clover, Rose, and Snakeroot. After the war it was believed that the Clover Family had been completely killed off. And the last two families only had a few members left and so they called a truce, both sides knowing that as soon as the other was strong enough they would wipe the other out like they did the Clover's." he watch silently as the rest take in the new piece of history.
"My Grandfather was obsessed with power and the old ways, so in his mind every family member he had was a potential weapon against the supposed enemy, the Rose Family. So when I was two my father had enough a ran off to save his remaining sanity after suffering his father's insanity and obsession since his birth." The obviously me included went unsaid.
"He was soon found by a descendant of the thought Dead Clover Family, and was cut down. When I was four my mother tried to run away with me, but she was caught by my grandfather. And after taking me away from her, he pulled out our family heirloom, Frostbite. Frostbite is a giant sword with the ability to freeze anything it cuts. And without mercy he cut her down in front of me and took me home to begin my training of hell."
By this point Kevin's voice became cold with anger, and he looked ready to explode and destroy something. But before he did he was calmed by Evan's hand on his shoulder in a friendly manner, and so he continued, "When I was ten years old we were found by the last known descendant of the Clover Family, Wacian Clover. He stole Frostbite, stabbed my grandfather in the chest, freezing him, and shattering him in front of me before fighting me until I was able to surprise him and make him run away."
"About a year later when I was eleven, I tracked him down and fought him in the desert of Vacuo, and was again defeated. So about two or three times a year I would find and attack Wacian and lose or make him run every time. The last time I fought him was about a week before beacon, and got the police involved."
After several minutes of silence, Shura and Nico turned toward the hulking giant of the team, who seemed almost rooted in place the only thing marking him as living was the fact he was still breathing, and still calming Kevin from a violent outburst.
"My story begins when I was two, a few days after my sister was born." And before he could continue he was interrupted by Shura.
"Wait! You have a sister? Is she hot?" this was enough to make Evan look ready to kill before his eyes got sad yet again. "She died four years ago."
Feeling bad for bringing up the dead all Shura could do was look down ashamed of his actions, and let Evan continue.
"As I was saying I was two years old and my dad, Dr. Pence, and other Atlas military men were sent on a search and destroy mission, a mission that not only would end In failure but the only survivor being a crippled Dr. Pence."
"When I was seven my mom died of an unknown sickness, and without money to pay mortgage we were kick out onto the streets. Within the year I was taken in and trained by a former hunter on how to fight, and he was kind enough to unlock my aura and train me in that as well. When I was nine, and felt like I was ready, I dove head-first into the criminal underground and quickly became friends with another orphan named Forest, as well as another young bandit, and forest and I started tag-teaming in the underground fighting ring."
"Eventually my sister also got involved despite my protest, because all matches were fought for your life. If one was to lose, at best they would be killed in the ring, at worst they would play a game where they roll a wheel and detach a body part, even if you need the body part to live."
"Anyways, when I was thirteen I was given a secret invite to be a challenger for the title of King, but in order to do so I needed to earn the title of Prince. During a Prince fight anyone can challenge you and if they win they can challenge the current King. When I won the first fight easily, they decided to just throw me in the ring right after to earn the title. And after a long and difficult battle, I finally won."
"That afternoon I discovered that two of my challengers where Forest, and my sister." At this a single tear came down from his face as he barely held himself together. And looking around none of the others where bearing any better and now Kevin's hand on his shoulder was what was keeping his emotions together just enough to continue.
"Fallowing custom I went to gather their bodies, as well as my most fearsome opponent, and buried them with honor atop a hill outside of the city, as far away from the place of their death as possible while still being able to visit them. And soon after I started training with the hunter once again until two years ago. And because of the roller-coaster called life all I have left in this world of my loved ones are my cloak, necklace, and one of my most prized possessions of my armory."
After the last tale, no one wanted to spend any more time in the forest, but none of them wanted to break the silence until the sun was going down and Shura stood up, "Might as well lead by example, eh"
The next morning after Breakfast
After Breakfast they all decided to visit Professor Ozpin, and as usual they didn't have to even knock before they got permission to come in. Only this time Ozpin wasn't alone.
Beside Ozpin was a lean man that stood about 5'7" with salt and pepper hair and a manly mustache. The stranger wear a brown T-shirt and what looked like khaki pants before the desk hid his legs, and his shoes where showing just enough to be labeled as steel-toed brown combat boots.
At seeing this new person Evan's face had a weird look as if he was excited to see this new person, yet at the same time looking like a ghost due to wanting to be anywhere else but there at that moment.
"Tedd, what are you doing here?" asked Evan hoping that Tedd's bartender uniform was just in the wash, and he was just here to say hello to his former Headmaster, however his next words were enough to shatter his universe.
"Actually, I got a call from an old friend to do a favor for him and train some of his students." The more Tedd spoke the more an evil grin took over his face, "So without further ado, welcome to hell, ladies."
End
This was a little fun to write, not much but a little. I had each of their backstories fully created back during their first design back when volume 3 was hot off the press. Also Evan will probably never get over what he has done, but at least he can try to move on with the life he lives now.
