A/N: Welcome back guys and gals. Sorry for the cliffhanger ending in the last time, but I didn't really know how else to end it. Again, like I said in the end note of last chapter, his name is from Warhammer 40k, so I guess I have to add a disclaimer saying that I don't own anything.

The name Khorne is owned by GamesWorkshop

RWBY is owned by Rosterteeth

And I guess I still own my OC? Yeah I mean his name is owned by GW, but he different enough, I guess?

Anyway, This chapter will mark the start of volume two, so the time for their first mission is coming, and it will be special. That's all I'm saying.

I hope you guys enjoy the chapter.

Mave/Khorne Pov

I finally did it.

After literal years, I finally spoke my true name again. That cursed name that only meant only a tidal wave of suffering, just for their sick pleasure and my supposed 'training' to become a true grimm hunter.

The sheer uttering of the name forced my face into a scowl, and the girls saw this immediately. Fenrir wasn't faring too great either, since he was directly connected to me he could feel my emotions, baring his teeth with a soft snarl.

I looked at the girls that form my team and see them trying to form words to help or comfort me, but it's clear they don't know what to say. Weiss in particular was trying to start a conversation, but she didn't know whether to address me with my real name or the one I gave them. She goes back and forth in her soft murmurs before she faces me and finally speaks.

''M-Mave, why do you..hate.. your original name so much?'' The stutter and apprehension in her voice was clear as day. The ends of my lips can't help but go up because she referred to me with the name I gave them, but the question itself made me sigh in defeat.

''Because Weiss, when I think of my name,... I think of the little boy and all the pain he has been put through, just because of a cult. And what it means.''

Fenrir regained his composure as well and continued the sentence for me.

''It was his decision to change his name. He thought it would help him get over everything that happened and allow him to start a new life. He didn't want to be Khorne Rubrum, the tribe's slaughterer and pet offering.No, he wanted to become Mave Rick, a human with a chance at a decent life.''

Weiss looked at me with an understanding, and also, slightly disappointed gaze in her eyes.

''Mave, i understand what the both of you are saying, but I can't help but feel that you are not doing this the right way.''

I look at her with my eyes slightly widened, the girls as well. Fenrir also gave her a curious glance from the side.

''You you still are Khorne Rubrum, no matter how much you try and run from it.''

My hands tightened into fist at her words and my breathing gets a bit more aggressive. I will not lash out on her, but I'm certainly not enjoying this.

''It's not as easy as you think. There is more to it than that. The name 'Khorne' itself literally means 'to spill blood'. I don't want to bear that.'' I force through gritted teeth

''I also dislike my name. I know it is not the same situation, but I hate the Schnee name for what it is now.'' She threw a glance at Blake, who only gave back a sigh.

''Weiss...'' Her leader and closed the distance and tried to comfort her, a sad pout on her features.

''I hate the fact that the Schnee name is now seen as a symbol of hate of Faunus and material greed. I hate that I have to bear it's burden just because of what my father did.''

''Then why don't you just leave it all away?'' I couldn't help but ask her.

''Because in the end, I know I can make it be something better.'' she said in a kind voice with a small smile. ''You said you threw your name because of the pain and the meaning it has. I believe instead of changing it, you should work to change it's meaning. That day, when we went out together in the city, at the cafe, you told me you had a good life as a child before this madness started. You lived those moments as Khorne Rubrum, not Mave Rick. Are you willing to just trow those away as well?''

At the moment, I don't know how to process her words. A minute later and the confusion turns into a sigh.

''*sigh*You are right that, there was something nice before everything happened. But it was just too much to handle at the time. I hated everything for so long. I wanted things to change!*cough* I wanted everything to stop! I wanted to be free!'' Each one of my sentences became more frantic one after the other. As I was trying to shout something else, I feel something on my shoulder. I look at it to see Weiss's small hand resting on it and giving a slight squeeze. I follow her arm to her face, and I see one of the kindest smiles she has ever given yet, and her eyes are filled with a determination to help me.

''Mave, there's nothing wrong with changing your life for the better, but it isn't good to remove yourself from your own past either.''

She coughed in her fist before straightening her back and assuming a more professional pose.

''So Khorne Rubrum, will you take your name back and try to improve on who you are, or will you just let your history fade away as if you were not the same person?'' She asked me, with a lingering hope that I will chose to retake my name and make it better for me. ''No matter what you choose we will be here to support you.''

I look at the rest of my team and see that all are sporting reassuring smiles on their faces, Yang's being having a more mischievous edge than the rest.

Surprisingly, Blake giggled out of nowhere, pretty much startling the rest of us.

''Sorry.'' She said after stopping her small burst of laughter ''I just couldn't help it. I guess we both wanted to run away from something.''

I just give her statement a chuckle and a nod. I turn to look at Weiss to give her my answer.

''I will try, to make amends with my name and my past, but it's more than just that. They gave me this name because they wanted me to become a killer, so it's going to be difficult. *sigh* None of this leaves the room, and you will only address me as Khorne in private. Clear?''

''Crystal. I promise you on behalf of anyone nothing said leaves this room.'' Said Yang for the entire team in a serious tone that I rarely saw her use.

''I have to say, I am very impressed by you Schnee.''

''Huh. Why?'' She turned to look at the grimm wolf

''I talked about this with him once, and it hasn't ended as smoothly as it did with you. It is clear that there is some connection between you two.''

This left Weiss as a stuttering mess.''W-What do you mean? W-we're just close friends, that's all, right Khorne?''

Before I could even say something Fenrir turned to me and spoke with what could equivalent to a smug grin.

''Don't lie now brother. We both know what the truth is about your feelings for the doll.''

''D-Doll!?'' Weiss exclaimed with a visible red tint on her cheeks.

''Fenrir!''

Yang couldn't hold it in anymore and just howled in laughter. Ruby was giggling and Blake was just rolling her eyes with a grin, giggling a bit as well.

''HAHA! This wolf got both of you cornered!'' Burst out Yang

''*chuckle* There. That should be better. I hope you all are in brighter spirits now, after the events of tonight. If you all don't mind, I wish to return to my slumber, and I'm sure you all want to sleep as well.''

As if on que, Ruby let out a small yawn that probably could have melted anyone's heart. Our little leader noticed the looks she was given and hid in her cloak as much as she could.

''Now, before I leave I want to tell you something, Khorne. May we speak in private?''

I snap my head in his direction. All the amusement from his teasing gone. I nod and head outside the dorm, Fenrir following me, and go down the hall near a corner where we won't be heard.

''Like I said to you in the past, there is more to that name than the meaning to shed blood. The name also has a relation to a god-like being, whether it's just a derivation or something more. I believe now that you want to make amends with yourself, we should go back to the place where this all began so we may learn more.''

I stiffen, before relaxing back again and letting out a dreaded sigh.

''I will Fenrir. Not now, but in the future I will.''

''Of course. Now, like you humans say, Good night.''

''Good night.''

After we both said our parting words, Fenrir turned back into mist and entered my body, leaving me alone in the halls. I run a hand through my hair, thinking about what will have to be done in the future.

''Keep it together. I said it doesn't need to happen now, and I will not let it stress me out. I knew this had to be done one day. *sigh*''

I turn on my heels and go back in the dorm, where the girls are all sitting on their respective beds in their night clothes. Yang was already asleep and the rest where just laying and doing their own stuff. Those who are awake send me a small reassuring glance when I enter, and I return a smile to them. I go in the bathroom and change from the metal plates, leather and furs that are placed on me before taking a hot shower, in my sleeping clothes, before heading to bed and trying to fall asleep.

''Goodnight girls.'' I say to all of them, facing Weiss and putting a smile on my scarred face

''Goodnight Khorne.'' They responded in kind, Weiss even blushed a bit, but she didn't look away from me.

'*Sigh*. I hope this ends well.''

And with that last thought out of my mind I let myself go to sleep.

Weiss pov:

After I see Khorne going to sleep, I can't help but sigh and turn my head to my nightstand and grab the only gift that he gave any of us so far.

The bone knife with each of our emblems engraved on it. I grab the blade and stare at it, gently running my finger over the edge so I don't cut myself. After we got them from him, none of us tried to fight with them or train with them in any way. We all used them as decorations. While he didn't have any issues with it, I can see that he made them with the intention of actually being used in combat, not just as decorations. I can feel his sigh every time he just looks at the knives on each of our nightstands, just staying there.

''Hey Weiss. What you doin?'' Ruby asked hanging upside down from the side of her bed

''Eep!''

The little scare that she gave me was enough or me to cut my finger on the knife. It wasn't too bad, aura not protecting me from the cut because I was not even focusing it. Thankfully, my aura manifested enough so it would close, but it still hurt a bit.

''Oh My god are you okay? I'm sorry!'' Ruby quickly became a worried mess when she saw the small cut that she unintentionally caused.

''Shh! It's fine, but stop scaring me like that.''

''I'm sorry. I was just happy that things ended well with Ma-Khorne. I wish he wouldn't have went through so much.'' Ruby said with a sad pout and downward eyes.

''We all do Ruby. I'm sure none of us could have even survived what happened to him. Even if he was a cripple now who couldn't do anything he would still be stronger than any of us. But it's not a matter of making him forget what happened to him, it's a matter of making him realize how strong he really is and that no matter what happens, you can have a better life in the future if you work to change it.''

''Weiss... Are you okay?''

''Hmm? Oh, yeah, I'm okay. Why?''

''You've been starring at the knife for a while and you looked very, sad and frustrated.'' She said, now staying on the side of my bed.

''It's just...*sigh* I feel like we haven't done enough to support him. I mean, even these knives that he made for us ,with clear intention of actual use, we haven't even bothered to learn use them and just placed them as decoration.

Ruby realized what I was saying, widening her eyes a bit before wincing slightly.

''Weiss, do you think we did bad?''

I shake my head at her question ''No Ruby. I think we haven't done enough for him. We really need to help him, in any way we can now and for as long as he is with us as a teammate.''

''Oh, I know what we can do! I need to plan this well.'' I could literally see the lightbulb over her head, while muttering the last part.

''What Ruby?''

''It's a surprise! If you want to help, can you give me your binder please?"

''My binder? Why do you need my binder?'' I ask. I was not expecting this in any way.

''It's a surprise. Now can I use it?''

''Ruby...Ohh fine, just be careful with the papers, I still need them for Port's.''

She beamed at my answer like she normally would.

''Yay! Thank you Weiss!'' She whisper-screamed in my ear before bolting to my binder and then on her bed.

''*sigh* Why am I not surprised?''

I place the knife back on the stand before turning on my side and taking one last look an Khorne.

''If what Fenrir said is true, then he might actually like me. He might actually even love me. But how can I describe how I feel for him. Everytime we do something I feel, protected, like nothing will hurt us or endanger us. I feel like he is one of the only people that actually cares about me, more than just a teammate or friend. I feel, complete with him.''

I can't help but giggle and smile at him. I feel the same as him in the end ''Goodnight, Khorne.''

I let myself go to sleep, this night being the first I'm not plagued by uncertainties, but a sweet dream, one that keeps me at ease the entire night

''..Mhmm...I do...''

Line break:

Abandoned Warehouse

Middle of the night

Roman Torchwick Pov:

''Well this was just great.'' I mutter

This mission couldn't have ended any worse. Those weird kids come and stop the heist from happening and that savage in armor just kills one of the animal's higher ups and then literally feeds him to some dog and scares the other guys shitless.

''Roman.''

Oh great. It gets better. I turn around to look at my quote unquote boss. And it looks like she brought the kids.

''Heh heh. Wasn't expecting to see you here so soon.'' She ignored my remark as if I never said it.

''Your mission was, disappointing to say the least. I expected more from the best criminal on the face of Remnant.''

''Hey, you were the one who suggested I work with those idiots from the White Fang. Half of them don't even want to work anymore.''

In response, she opens her palm and forms a ball of fire, showing me just who is in control again.

''No matter, you will still continue to work with them, I'll make sure the rest will continue as well. All we ask is a little...

...cooperation.''

And it's done. We technically started vol 2. I know the first episode is the food battle, but It will happen, I just need to change it slightly so it isn't the same thing.

Again short chapter, but that's how I work. Next time I publish a chapter will probably be for my other story.

I'm hope you will stay on this ride, because there's still a while before it ends.

So yeah, Mave is Khorne now. That's awesome. Khorne, Khorne...Corn.

Anyway, he will change a bit from now, I hope I will make him from the better.

Also, the ship has almost sailed. All we need now is for them to make it official and it will go. Like I said before, this story will contain succulent, saliva inducing lemons. I will warn when those happen so if you don't like the sour goodness you can go right over it

I hope you enjoyed the story.

Bye
