Hey everyone KingLoki here been gone for a long time mainly because of a mixture of things. Depression, Family problems, deaths in my family these last few years. I can honestly say I was in a real bad mindset but one thing that kept it positive was my family holding together and staying away from dark thoughts. I had high days and lows but that's life. But I'm back and wanted to get a fresh start on my fanfic of Team L.S.T.R. Go more in-depth with them and give them all more personality i'm more wiser I guess you can say lol. So no more talking but one last thing before I start for anyone dealing with depression remember tomorrow is a day you gotta give a chance and so is the next and so on. If you need to speak to someone about anything my inbox is always open and will listen for those who needs it just a small conversation can go a long way.
Chapter 1: Prologue L
I remember faintly what they were like. I was pretty young when it happened both times. I remember what dad was like I believe a big man with black hair and dark eyes that seemed to always know where to look whenever he lost something. As if nothing was not in his sight. I remember waking up one night after a nightmare crying. He ran into my room making sure I was ok. He smelled of honey and mistletoe. My mother is a bit harder to remember. My father raised my more than she did. She was a Huntstress and was always on missions keeping the people safe and in doing so keeping me safe from the threats out there. My father was a Blacksmith forging weapons, armor and whatever else he was asked to make. I do remember one day when she came home from a mission she brought home pastries I liked from our local bakery. She was beautiful I can't remember her face well but her hair was snow white as was her eyes an ice blue her white wolf ears on top of her head which I inherited from her but had my father's hair color so mine are black ears but despite her appearance her smile…..I remember feeling warm whenever she smiled at me followed by a big hug.
The day I will remember vividly will be that start of everything. The fire, gunshots, the shouting. I remember my father telling my mother to run when she wanted to stay and fight but she knew she had to keep me safe. I remember the motion of her running fast. Faster than I ever seen her run even with me in her arms. The fire of our home getting smaller in the distance.
I lost my father and my mother ran all the way to the only sanctuary she knew of for faunus,,,,,,,,,The White Fang. She had friends in there who she knew she could trust. It was safe for a time roughly a year and a half until the next tragedy happened. Humans attacked a peaceful protest and killed innocent lives. She fought back protecting those who started but clearly a few of the humans were Huntsmen and they took her from me.
I remember when "He" came and told me what happened. The man who my mother had gotten close with I didn't understand their relationship but her always told me himself and my mother went to Huntsmen school together when they were younger. He took me in and then things changed. The White Fang switched leaders and became the group it was known to be today. More brutal and fierce for equality by any means necessary. "He" trained me taught me how to fight telling me that the Humans think we were weak and could walk all over us but he said they were only jealous because we are better than they are. I trained under him for years he taught me everything I know. When training with other recruits I broke another one's arm in an exercise I was so angry about it all fighting seemed to get me calm. My master didn't like when i got angry he told me emotions clouded my judgement he told me like my father.
It wasn't later that I learned what he meant by that. After a training exercise one of the recruits cursed at me calling me a "Halfblood" being due to my father being human and mother Faunus. I retaliated and fought 5 of them leaving them whimpering and battered. The last one got it the worse after he told me something. Something that was hidden from me that he heard while sneaking around to get snacks at night. He told me the truth of how my father died. My master was supposedly talking about it to our High leader how my Uncle named Raphael killed my father because he had a child with a faunus and used the protest to kill my mother. Hearing this my mind went blank. No not blank erupted in fire as if everything I valued was in question. My own family took mine away from me forever. Not random humans or bad people but my Uncle. I began to cry I sobbed and cracked. Then something shattered inside me. I pushed all the pain I felt and all the hurt into the crack and sealed it up. The tears stopped and everything became quiet.
I looked down at the large boy who was probably 15 smirking with a bloody lip and said "Thank you for telling me." No emotion in my voice as I cracked my fist into his mouth and kept punching not stopping until I heard a gunshot crack behind me.
I turned and saw my master with his glowing yellow eyes and gray white hair pale skin looking at me...no he was smiling at me.
I stood up dropping the boy unconscious from the pain from my grasp as Master approached me. Glancing over me looking me in my eyes and told me this. "Now you are perfection." I was 12 then and all my emotions were gone locked away by me running away from myself in myself.
That following year I was on a mission for the White Fang I already completed countless missions by then my success rate was the highest in the Fang I even got a nickname from everyone "The Black Wolf With The White Fangs". Stealing dust, escort missions, recon the works this time I was tasked to kill someone. A man who helped some humans severely harmed a faunus leaving him crippled. The rest were already dealt with and he was the last and he was mine.
I came upon his house at night and waited for him to go to bed before making my move. When he turned his lights off I snuck my way inside. Making my way upstairs and quietly opening his room door. He was asleep in bed and I quietly unsheathed my blade named "Hope" and stood over the man and was about to cut him down when I heard a scream by the door. Standing there was a young girl no more than 6 as she screamed her father woke up seeing me trying to get my blade out of my hands but I threw him off and tossed him against the wall. I walked slowly as he cowered in fear and begging for his life. As I raised my sword the girl ran in front of me hugging her father screaming "No please don't take my daddy away from me."
Something shifted inside of me causing my to lower my sword and smiled. I looked at the girl and patted her head even though she flinched away after I did. I sliced my sword through the man's wrist taking his left hand and told him this. "I'll spare you this once because your friends are all gone after what you guys did. Take your daughter and run as fast as you can and never appear before me again got it!?" The man pained out a yes and I walked out of his room leaving his house. Not knowing why I didn't kill him but having failed I had to go and report back to my Master.
Upon returning he was not pleased by my failure as I bowed before him: he asked why I has refused to do what he asked. Why did I fail to carry out my orders? Before I can answer I heard a voice deep within my head that seemed to come out of nowhere saying "I'll handle this...Brother." Next thing I knew I was no longer in control of my body as I stood upon and spoke but the words were not my own. "I was bored of following orders I am me and nobody else." Master looked furious almost felt the room drop a few degrees as he spoke again. "And who do you think you are BOY!? I raised you Laurentum when you had nobody else given you all the training you needed to not be weak and you swore loyalty to me." I smirked or I guess the "other" did. "I'm not Laurentum I am Loki and you old man…" He drew his sword and pointed it at him. "...you don't control me never will either." he sheathed back his sword and left the room. As soon as we left the room I regained control of my body and the voice started laughing in my head. "Hahaha that was fun brother what shall we do next?" I didn't understand what was happening I felt shattered but calm and my life was taking a turn.
Master gave more more missions that involved killing but every time before I strike the killing blow Loki would take over and stopped my I could care less but Master. was disappointed. I only learned later how much so.
During a simple raid mission after everything was completed I found my "allies" turn their weapons on me. Saying Master has no need for a "Broken Weapon" they put it his words probably. I saw how many they were it was 15 to one not nearly enough. Loki appeared again but this time he said "It's kill or be killed Brother. We don't kill for others we kill to survive only if attacked first...go wild." With that said he disappeared in my mind and I pulled out my White Fang mask. Unlike the normal ones mine was all black with blue claw marks on the front that covered my entire face and large white fangs on the bottom. What happened next was what they deserved.
Four Years Later…
I was walking in downtown Vale heading to my destination. The people around were either shady, drunk, making deals or all of the above. I kept my hood on my vest up covering my ears and kept to myself.
My hoodie vest was all black with white highlights running along his back forming a white wolf head and had on plain black jeans and combat boots with shin guards made of metal. On my side Hope never to far as it's blade made noises on my hip. Two men stopped in front of me clearly a bit drunk from the smell on their breath.
"Hey kids like you should be careful around these parts dangerous people lurk here." The tall one chuckling to himself. "Yea isn't it past your bedtime?" his shorter friend added on leaning in close to my hooded face the alcohol more present up close. I started to walk past them when the shorter one put his hand on my shoulder. "Hold on there buddy we aren't done with ya see. You should respect your elders kids these days am I right?" The short drunk one said. "Yea buddy you're right. You should give us something as an apology maybeeee everything in your wallet?" The tall one pulling out a pistol and aiming it at my head.
As soon as he did that his friend pulled pulled his hand back screaming as he looked and saw it was frozen solid. As he looked back at me I had already sliced off his pistol holding hand and he began screaming in pain.
I walked past them both but before leaving I pulled out my sheath and aimed it at the shorter ones frozen hand and fired "End" and shattered his hand. More cries heard I sheathed Hope and turned around continued walking as if nothing happened.
I made it to the club in question named "Juniors Bar" after its owner who given me some deadend information hopefully he can give me something new. When I get inside I am blasted by the loud music inside. Seeing many people dancing enjoying themselves. I begin looking for Junior and spot him at the bar chatting up some blond.
I make my way to the bar and stand next to him and wave at the bartender. "Rum on the rocks." He turned his head and saw me his frown getting deeper on his face. "Oh not you too already having a rough night." The man groans in a high pitched voice as he cups his "area". I look at him with my usual face no emotion no tells to my outer or inner thoughts I was always hard to read and that unsettled Junior. "You know why I'm here. I need more information. You can talk to you date later." The blond girl peeked over his shoulder. She was younger than I thought her long hair going down her back and lilac eyes looking me up and down as if stripping or sizing me up. "Uh first off not his date and second I'm using right now will be just a moment." She winked at me.
My drink arrives and I take off my hood revealing my dark brown skin and my black hair with my wolf faunus ears on full display the tips of them white like snow. I take the glass and down the entire drink with now facial change as the liquor burns my throat going down. I look at the girl and examine her more closely. Her hair a golden yellow almost bright enough to hurt my eyes. Her outfit a crop top and jacket showing her belly button with an orange scarf around her neck. Her shorts seemed to appeal for the opposite sex and medium high brown combat boots. Her chest seems to be her most developed part of her but I can see her arms are toned she clearly been working out.
"I only got one question." I ignore the girl looking directly at Junior. I grab his collar and pull him in close. "And that last lead you gave me was a dead end so help me out here. Where is Raphael?" My tone turning icy I can begin to feel my skin cool as my semblance begins to activate. As the blonde pushes me away with a strength I knew she had from her muscles. "Hey I said I needed him first." I feel heat emanating from her this girl is more than meets the eye it seems.
Junior takes this opportunity to put distance between us as the girl and I argue. "You'll pay for that Laurentum and you too Blondie!"
The Blond giggles to herself "Aww come on I was just playing can't we just kiss and makeup ok?" Junior flabbergasted and takes up her offer "Huh oh ok then sweet cheeks." Junior leaning in for a kiss but is punched in his face sent across the room into the wall. I walk up to her looking where Junior landed. "Was that necessary?" Wondering how strong she really is "Yea he was my dead end." She giggled and soon Junior's thugs surround the two of us blades and bats in hand.
I pull out Hope and the Blond bracelets click and form gauntlets with small barrels on the end of them.
Fine craftsmanship and can offer offence and defense to the wielder. She looks at my blade and whistles. "Is your sword always that long or are you just happy to see me?" I ignore her pun and focus on the upcoming fight. She charges into the thugs on the right I go left.
I can hear shotgun rounds going off and men groaning which means bad news for them. I slice and slash in fluidity amongst the group and parry all their blows. I sheath Hope into End and fire its shotgun knocking 5 guys back with the buckshot.
I focus my aura grab one of them by the arm and my semblance activates ice freezing over his arm and I toss him into his friends they catch him and I go into a Iaijutsu stance and in a blink knock them all back with a thin cut across all their chests.
Seeing all my goons down I turn to see the Blond knocking out the last of them. She walks up to me stretching. "That was a fun workout I'm yang by the way heard Junior call you Laurentum back there nice to meetcha." I remain silent as I see the twins Melanie and Miltiades appear ready to stop us from trashing the club even more. I prepare to fight but hear Loki in my head causing pain. "You had your fun it's my turn Brother." I feel Loki taking over and unable to stop him and go into the recess of my mind.
The Blond looks at me as I clutch my head, well our head and puts her arm on my shoulder. "Hey you alright you don't look so good." But before she can check on me Melanie kicks with her heel blades away from me. While Miltiades points her claw to my cheek and cuts me. I jolt up smiling my once black eyes now white like snow. Yang tripping Melanie looking at me. "Hey Laurentum you ok?" I look at her and smile wickedly. "Uhhh Laurentum isn't able to pick up can I leave a message?" I look over at Miltiades who looking at me with fire in her eyes. "Loki…" I look at the girl and glance over her. "Hey Mimi looking nice tonight you know we can skip the foreplay and go back to my place if you want?" I duck before her claws can connect to my face probably leaving a deep cut. "Ok that's a no then?" I laugh pull out Hope and lunge at her. I swing wildly but fast keeping her off balance and put my foot in her stomach. She knocked back winded and growls at me charging. I dodge her attacks and parrying. I dodge a swing and lean up close to her our lips almost touching. "Hey you've gotten better Mimi awww trying to impress me?" She leaps back away from me and I chuckle and back up away from her. "Hey Mimi don't blink." I wink at her and in a blink of an eye knock through a glass pillar. "Sorry if that hurt." I look over and see Yang deliver a hard shin kick to Melanie's face. She looks at me with an "Hey did you see that kick" face. I laugh at her face. "Yea that definitely hurt."
Junior appears from the fog with his Batzooka and shades on. "You'll pay for this Blondie and Laurentum!" Loki looks around at the ruined club. "Uh first it's Loki see white eyes and this all looks expensive. Sooooo put it on my tab?" Junior is growling now yup that definitely got him upset bad.
Junior's bat turns into rocket mode and he fires a flurry of rockets that Yang and I counter with dust rounds. I dash up swinging my blade but he blocks with his blade and goes into a swing I block but the weight behind it lifts me across the room hitting the bar and sliding over it. I put a thumb up grabbing a nearby bottle and pop it open. I watch as Junior pulls a lock of Yang's hair and she bursts into flames and her eyes turn blazing red. She dashes into him her fist crashing into his face causing an explosion on contact.
Yang cools off and heads outside and I follow her finishing the bottle.
Outside we see a girl with black hair and silver eyes standing over an unconscious Junior. She stands up wearing a black dress with red highlights with what seems to be a rifle on her back hip. "Yang? Seriously?! You blow up an club come on!" Yang's eyes turn back lilac and scratches the back of her head. "Oh hey sis listen it wasn't like what you're probably thinking." I step up a bit buzzed "Oh we were just on a date enjoying ourselves ain't that right babe?" I grab her chest which is a lot softer that it looks. "Ooooo soft." I look up as my face is about to get met with a fist. "Hey Bro take this one for me why don't ya?" Laurentum is pulled back to the top and I feel a fist hit my face which knocks me to the floor.
"Hey hands off the merchandise gotta take me out until I like you a lot to feel these!" She roars. My face already swelling but feel my aura healing it. "Loki's an idiot." Yang looks at me closely probably noticed my eyes change color. "Laurentum what the hell dude?" She clearly disgruntled about everything that happened tonight.
I sigh and look up at the shattered moon. "It's…..a long story."
