Hello everybody! I am The Burning Ruler and I am back with another chapter of RWBY: A Demon's Life. I am going to try to update this somewhat frequently while my SAO story is going on, but I can't make any promises. Now, to the review!
NInjaFang1331: Thank you. I am glad you are enjoying it.
Now with that out of the way, I don't own RWBY in any way, and let's start the chapter!
Chapter 19: Shade's true power
"Um, hey Blake?" asked Shade.
"Yes Shade?" responded Blake.
"I'm not really sure how to ask this but, how did this whole thing start?" asked Shade, referring to what he had just heard from her.
"I'm not really sure. I guess it started when you left and got injured. This may come off as selfish at first, but juts hear me out." Said Blake.
"Go on." Said Shade.
"Well, I'm sure you know how the Faunus are subjected to discrimination and hate on a regular basis right?" asked Blake.
"Yeah of course." Said Shade.
"Well, I've never really had anyone who cared about me. Well, before coming to Beacon. After witnessing how Weiss was so concerned for you when you were injured, and how much she cared about you, I found myself wishing that it was me who was hurt, and that she cared that much about me. I guess it made me realize that I just wanted someone who cared about me that much. I mean, it's easy to care about people, but for some reason it always seems like people couldn't care less about what happens to me." Said Blake.
"You do know that what you just said makes no sense right?" asked Shade.
"How do you mean?" asked Blake.
"Everyone cares about you just as much as anyone else. I'm sure of it. The only people that they might care about more are their significant others, but that's just natural." Said Shade.
"Thank you Shade." said Blake.
"It's what I do. No problem." Said Shade, smiling.
Blake smiled back just as Shade found their friends looking at a shop that was robbed.
"Oh god." Said Blake as she ran up to it.
"What happened here?" asked Shade when he got to the detectives investigating the scene.
"Robbery. Another dust shop this week." Said one of the detectives.
"Great. Just perfect." Said Shade.
"They left all the money again." Said the other detective.
"Just doesn't make a lick of sense. Who needs that much dust?" asked one detective.
"I don't know." Said the other detective.
"You thinking the uh… White Fang?" asked the detective.
"I'm thinking we don't get paid enough." Said the other detective.
"The White Fang huh? What an awful bunch of degenerates." Said Weiss, forgetting that Shade was there, but Shade didn't care about it.
But Blake wasn't so quick to forgive. "What's your problem?" asked Blake.
'Oh no…' thought Shade.
"My problem? I simply don't care for the criminally insane." Responded Weiss.
'Ouch. That stings Weiss.' Thought Shade.
"The White Fang is hardly a bunch of psychopaths. They're a collection of misguided Faunus." Said Blake.
"Misguided? They want to wipe humanity of the face of the planet." Said Weiss.
"So then they're very misguided. Either way, it doesn't explain why they would rob a dust shop in the middle of downtown Vale." Said Blake.
"Blake's got a point. Besides the police never caught that Torchwick guy me and Shade ran into. Maybe it was him." Said Ruby, trying to diffuse the situation.
"That still doesn't change the fact that the White Fang are a bunch of scum. Those Faunus only know how to lie, cheat and steal." Said Weiss.
"That's not necessarily true." Said Yang, remembering Shade was there.
"Besides, it's not like every Faunus in the world will join the White Fang." Said Ruby. But Weiss still didn't let up.
"Most do. The only ones I know who didn't are Velvet, Sun and Blake. All others are just like them." Said Weiss, not accounting for Shade at all.
Ruby was about to bring up Shade, but Shade just shook his head in the background, wanting to see how far Weiss would go.
Blake was getting mad. "You ignorant little brat!" yelled Blake.
"How dare you talk to me like that! I am your teammate!" said Weiss.
"You are a judgemental little girl!" replied Blake.
"What in the world makes you say that?" asked Weiss.
This argument went on all the way back to the dorm, which Shade only listened in to, to see how far Weiss would go.
"I don't understand why this is causing such a problem." Said Weiss.
"That IS the problem." Said Blake.
"You realize you are defending an organization that hates humanity don't you? The Faunus of the White Fang are pure evil." Said Weiss.
"There's no such thing as pure evil. Why do you think they hate humanity so much. It's because of people like how Cardin used to be. People like you that force the White Fang to take such drastic measures!" said Blake.
"People like me?" asked Weiss in disbelief.
"You're discriminatory!" said Blake.
"I'm a victim! You want to know why I despise the White Fang? Why I don't particularly trust the Faunus? It's because they've been at war with my family for years. War. As in actual bloodshed. My grandfather's company has had a target painted across its back for as long as I can remember, and ever since I was a child I've watched family friends disappear. Board members, executed. An entire train car full of dust, stolen. And every day, my father would come home furious. And that made for a very…difficult…childhood." Said Weiss.
Ruby walked over to Weiss. "Weiss I-" Ruby was cut off.
"NO! You want to know why I despise the White Fang? It's because they're a bunch of liars! Thieves! And murderers!" yelled Weiss.
Shade listening outside snapped at this. He kicked the door open, just in time to hear Blake say "Well maybe we were just tired of being pushed around!"
Everyone other than Shade was sent into a state of shock. Partly from Blake's outburst and revelation, and partly form the look of utter rage on Shade's face.
"I…" said Blake before dashing out the door, past Shade.
Weiss looked at Shade. His anger didn't fade at all. Weiss was about to talk, but Shade stopped her.
"Just shut up!" he said in a voice that sent chills into everyone's bodies.
"But-" Weiss was cut off again.
"I said SHUT UP!" he yelled, loud enough to startle team JNPR.
"Shade. I-" Weiss was cut off one more time.
"Listen to me. Right now. It is taking everything in my power to keep myself from ripping you limb from limb. The only reason why I'm even trying to hold it back, is because you are my girlfriend. At least for now. Me and Blake need some time away. We will be back by the weekend. Do not come looking for us. We will be back. For now, the best thing to do, is leave us alone." Said Shade, walking away, ignoring everything said to him.
He caught up with Blake in front of the school. She was crying. He wrapped her in a hug.
"That's why I can't tell her." Said Blake, wiping away her tears. "She'll just break my heart."
"That's why you have to tell her. Maybe it will cause her to rethink everything. Right now, she has nothing pushing her to rethink her opinion on Faunus. When we get back, tell her. If she feels the same way or at least is willing to give it a shot, I'll break it off with her. You have more reason to be with her than me. That, and you don't have anyone else that likes you in that way. Right?" asked Shade.
"No. I don't. But neither do y-" Blake stopped when she remembered Velvet.
"So, can you promise me you will tell her?" asked Shade.
"This weekend. Alright. I'll tell her when we get back. I just need some time to cool off first Ok?" asked Blake.
"So do I. I heard everything from outside the door." Said Shade, walking with Blake into town.
Back at the dorm
Weiss was sitting on her bed, crying her eyes out. Confused as to what was wrong with her. Why was she so cruel to Blake? Why did she say all those things about the Faunus? Why didn't she exclude Shade ever? She asked all these questions to herself, and just got sadder when she realized the reason. She still didn't trust the faunus. She is dating a faunus, has a faunus on her team, and is good friends with three more of them, but she can't trust them?
"What is wrong with me?" asked Weiss silently.
Ruby and Yang were already fats asleep, knowing that Shade and Blake were gone for a while, but Weiss couldn't get over it. She could only think about what she did wrong.
'Maybe I should just…end it now.' Thought Weiss.
"Weiss. I know what you're thinking. I was thinking the exact same when Yang said that me and Sun couldn't be together. I was about to do the same thing that you think you should do. Don't do it. Shade was the one who pulled me off the balcony. I will do the same to you before it even happens. I will say the same thing he said to me then. Suicide doesn't stop anything from getting worse. It just eliminates the possibility of anything ever getting better. It won't help anyone for you to do this. All we can do is what Shade said. Wait and hope that he can forgive you." Said Ruby.
Weiss realized that Ruby was right. She just needed to wait. "Thank you Ruby. You're right." Said Weiss, lying down on her bed. She doubted she would get any sleep but she had to try.
The days leading up to the weekend were pure torture for Weiss. Shade wasn't answering his scroll. Blake didn't even have her scroll with her.
In town with Shade and Blake
"Well Blake, today's the day. You ready?" asked Shade as they boarded the airship back to beacon.
"I'm as ready as I'll ever be. Oh, god I have lost my mind. Why did I let you talk me into this?" asked Blake.
"You knew I was right all along." Said Shade, responding.
"I hate when you're right." Said Blake.
Shade simply smiled as they approached the ground.
"We're here. Not much longer. You really should open up with you being bi. Might lessen the shock when you drop the bomb. You have a few minutes to think about what you're going to say." Said Shade.
"Can you let everyone else know?" asked Blake.
"You mean JNPR, CFVY, Sun, Sarah, Mercury, and Neo?" asked Shade.
"And CRDL." Said Blake.
"You sure?" asked Shade.
"Yeah. I'm sure. Better sooner than later." Said Blake.
"Alright. I'll tell them to wait for us." Said Shade, getting out his scroll and sending the same message to everyone. "Big news in RWBY's dorm in a few minutes. Get your asses over there ASAP."
He quickly got a reply from everyone almost instantly. "Alright. That's everyone. No turning back now." Said Shade.
"Alright. Let's go." Said Blake walking with Shade.
It took them only a few minutes to get back to their dorm room. As they stood outside the room, all that Blake could feel was a sense of dread. She didn't know if she could do it, but she knew she had to.
"Ready Blake?" asked Shade, quietly.
Blake just nodded, shaking.
"Alright." Said Shade, reaching for the doorknob and turning it. He opened the door and saw everyone waiting for them.
"You're all here. Good. Can we sit?" asked Shade, walking in.
Everyone parted, letting Shade and Blake sit on Blake's bed.
"Now, I don't have anything to say, but Blake has somethings that she needs to say. I already know what they are, but she said that she should tell everyone. So we called you here and I'm starting to ramble so I'll just let Blake talk now." Said Shade, taking out the flask of whisky he bought a while back.
"Really Shade? Now?" asked Sun.
"Shut up Sun." said shade, taking a swig of the alcohol.
Everyone turned to Blake. She was visibly shaking. She didn't want to say anything, and everyone could tell. Shade looked to the side and locked eyes with Blake. He gave her a look of, "you have to" and she looked back at him with a look of "I can't."
Shade sighed. "Blake, I don't want it to come to this, but if you don't tell them, I will. I'll be blunt and straightforward, but you can give more information. You're choice." Said Shade.
Blake knew he would. She took in a deep breath and let it out. "Ok. I'm ready. There is something that I've been hiding from everyone, and I need to get it out before I lose my mind. You see, I'm not what you would call, normal." Said Blake.
"I assume you aren't talking about you being a Faunus." Said Yang.
"No. I'm not. I wish it was that simple. You see, I'm actually, bisexual. I realized that a while ago, but I tried to deny it, but I realized I couldn't. I needed to tell you guys so you all would know." Said Blake.
No one reacted in a negative way, which was a good thing. Shade brought the flask back up to his mouth and just as the whisky started to enter his mouth, a female voice said "You too?" Shade started choking at this point, and Yang smacked him on the back, getting him over it.
"Thanks Yang. Sorry everyone, just a bit of a shock. Who said that?" asked Shade. He looked around the room, and everyone was focused on one person. He followed everyone's gaze to a girl with her hands clasped over her mouth.
"Who's everyone loo-" Shade stopped when he saw who had said that. He locked eyes with his girlfriend, sitting across from him, both of her hands clasped over her mouth.
No one even dared to say a word. They all just looked at someone else, waiting for them to say something. Shade was the first one to speak.
"Well, if I'm not mistaken, Blake has something else to say. Whenever you're ready." Said Shade, leaning back.
"Are you kidding me? How could Blake's news even compare to this?" asked Jaune.
"You'd be surprised Jaune. If you don't tell them Blake, I know. I won't hesitate." Said Shade.
"God dammit Shade. You suck so much." Said Blake.
"Just say it already. I can't wait any longer! The waiting is killing me!" said Sun.
"Fine. I'll spill. Just promise me, no one will freak out too much." Said Blake.
Everyone agreed. Weiss just nodded, still holding her hands over her mouth, trying to force her words back into her mouth, even though it was futile.
"You know. I thought it would be easy after that. But it just made it a million times harder." Said Blake.
"What do you mean?" asked Mercury, before he saw Shade staring at him.
Everyone was dead silent. It was almost a deafening silence. They were all looking at Blake, who was struggling to say anything. "I'm sorry Shade. I can't do it. Can you do it for me?" asked Blake.
"Alright. SO, as it turns out, Blake is in love with Weiss. She realized it after I was injured and put into a coma because of someone," he said looking at Neo, "The reason she didn't say anything was because of her father, and now everyone knows, and this just made Weiss uncomf-" he stopped before he finished the word "uncomfortable".
He looked at Weiss, who looked completely calm, compared to everyone else who looked like their head was about to explode.
"Alright, somehow this is more awkward than before." Said Shade.
Blake just looked up at Weiss, who gave her a questioning stare. Blake just nodded.
"I see. If that is true, I am willing to give you a chance." Said Weiss, shocking everyone in the room, but Blake was clearly expecting her to say no.
"I should've known. I shouldn't have said anything." Said Blake.
Weiss looked at Shade confused. He held up five fingers and counted down from five. When he hit one, Blake jumped up from her bed and almost tackled Weiss. She pushed Shade out of the way to get there, who fell on top of Velvet, with his face right in her chest.
Shade immediately jumped up and apologized.
"Shade, we all know Velvet liked it." Said Yang.
"Shut up Yang!" said Velvet, blushing and standing back up.
"Go for it Velvet! He's available now. Ask him!" whispered Coco.
"I heard that Coco, and technically yeah I am. But there's no guarantee for how long. What if it doesn't work out between those two and Weiss wants me back? Then I'm stuck on who's heart I have to break, and I'm not doing that." Said Shade.
"I wasn't going to ask anyways. I can wait a little longer. At least until Weiss makes up her mind about Blake." Said Velvet. "But just so I know, if it does work out?" asked Velvet.
"Of course. I would love to." Said Shade.
"Well, that's over with now. Only one thing left to do." Said Neo, looking at everyone else.
"What?" asked Shade.
"Three…Two…One!" said Neo.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHADE!" yelled everyone.
"Thanks guys! I completely forgot about this!" said Shade.
"Now, we don't have many presents, but some of us decided to share because it was expensive." Said Blake, going into Yang's closet and getting out the mod set.
"Holy hell! That thing looks like it weighs a hundred and fifty pounds at least!" said Yang.
"It is a little heavy." Said Blake just as Shade got there and took it from her.
"I got it." Said Shade.
"Thanks Shade." said Blake sitting next to Weiss.
"Seriously, I don't know what to say right now." Said Shade.
"Just put it to good use Shade. That's all we ask." Said Neo.
"Of course." Said Shade. With Shade getting his presents, they all decided to take him out for dinner, despite his protests. On their way out, Shade noticed the smile on Blake's face and looked at Weiss. He didn't see anything on her face.
'I hope it works out for her. I'll feel like an ass if it doesn't.' thought Shade.
'I hope this works out.' Thought Blake.
'Huh? I'm actually enjoying this more than I thought I would. Maybe this will work out.' Thought Weiss.
"You know Shade. I need to ask something." Said Yang.
"Yeah. What?" asked Shade.
"If Neo is your sister, why does she look so different from you?" asked Yang.
"I don't know. I never really questioned it much." Said Shade, hiding what he and Neo knew
"I was hoping this question wouldn't come up so soon." Said Neo.
"What?" asked Yang.
"Wait Neo. Should we tell them?" asked Shade.
"Better sooner than later Shade." said Neo.
"What are you talking about?' asked Yang. At this point everyone was there listening.
"While me and Shade are brother and sister in the technical sense, we aren't in the literal sense." Said Neo.
"So you mean that…" said Yang.
"I was adopted." Said Shade.
"I found Shade outside one day. He was passed out in an alleyway. I called my parents and they came to pick him up. We took him back to our house and he stayed there until he woke up." Said Neo.
"When I finally came too, I had no memories. The only things I had were the clothes on my back and the memory of a burning building. I still haven't found out where that building is or why I remembered it. I found out a few years later that I wasn't a family member. I didn't mind because they were nice people, so they decided to adopt me. That was on my 7th birthday. One week later was when…the incident took place." Said Shade.
"What were your adoptive parent's names?" asked Blake.
"Why does that matter?" asked Yang.
"I just want to know." Said Blake.
"The father's name was James. The mother's name was Audrey." Said Shade.
"James? You mean like you're name?" asked Weiss.
"Yeah. I couldn't remember my real name so I went with his." Said Shade.
"Wow." Said Velvet.
"Yeah." Said Shade.
Neo looked at Shade, and he shook his head. Neo still looked at him and he said "no". She continued to look and he screamed "NO!"
'They'll find out eventually anyways!" said Neo.
"I know! But not yet!" yelled Shade.
Everyone was confused. Shade had never blown up like that for no reason.
"Why not? Don't they deserve to know?" asked Neo.
"Thank about this from my perspective! Would you say anything yet?" asked Shade.
"I wouldn't need to! That would've been the first thing I told them!" said Neo.
"That's where you're wrong. You didn't do it! I did! You have no idea how much this has affected me over the years!" yelled Shade laving everyone behind.
Sun was about to pull Shade back, but Shade turned around and knocked him out cold with a single punch.
Mercury went after Shade but Shade grabbed his leg and slammed him into the ground. Shade began to lose control, becoming even more violent looking than that time in the cafeteria when he took down Cardin. He was losing to the monster within, and everyone trying to attack him wasn't helping. After everyone stopped attacking, Shade was almost completely different. Shade ran away before the monster could take full control and when it did, he was deep in the Emerald Forest. His teeth had grown into fangs. His finger nails had grown into claws and his eyes had turned black. He screamed at the sky, but it came out as a bone-chilling howl. It was heard clear as day at Beacon.
Ozpin looked out his window. He recognized that howl. When all of Shade's friends told him what had happened, Ozpin looked shocked.
"This is bad." Said Ozpin.
"What do you mean?" asked Jaune.
"No time to explain." Said Ozpin.
Ozpin took out a microphone and announced a code black.
"Shade left so we need to get to our dorms and lock the doors and ready our weapons?" asked Ruby.
"Yes. You must. Your friend is very dangerous. If he shows up soon, we may be forced to take…drastic measures." Said Ozpin with a sad voice.
"What do you mean drastic measures?" asked Velvet.
"We may be forced…to kill him." Said Ozpin.
"Why? What is going on here?" asked Yang.
"If you must know. I will tell you. You see, Shade is a, special case. He is not Human, nor is he Faunus." Said Ozpin.
"What do you mean?" asked Ruby.
"Well, not entirely Faunus." Said Ozpin.
"Then what is he?" asked Coco.
"He is, or at least was, what we call, a Blood Brother." Said Ozpin.
"What is that?" asked everyone.
"Shade has said that he was in the White Fang before correct?" asked Ozpin.
"Yeah he has." Said Weiss.
"He wasn't. He was supposed to be the start of a much more hostile group called the Blood Brothers." Said Ozpin.
"Who are they?' asked Blake.
"They were a group of violent humans and Faunus with overly violent tendencies. Whether this be through genetic modification, or from birth. Shade was supposed to be the start of this group, but there was a problem with his modification. He soon rebelled against his creators, and murdered them all, before burning the building to the ground. Reducing it to nothing but ash. I'm sure you are aware of the alleged "monster' inside him?" asked Ozpin.
"Yes. It has come up." Said Cardin, shaking at the remembrance of what the monster was capable of.
"I can assure you, that was not a monster inside him. It was his nature. He wasn't taken over by a monster. He was in full control of his body, even if he didn't know. It was part of his nature that caused him to attack." Said Ozpin.
'What do you mean?" asked Velvet, confused.
"I won't be able to describe it as well as possible. But there is a story behind that boy. Take out your scrolls and search Shade Hill please." Said Ozpin.
They searched what Ozpin had told them and they saw a picture of a boy that looked like Shade standing among the remains of a village. He was covered in blood. The village was burning, and dead bodies were all around Shade. This looked nothing like the Shade they knew.
"Is that Shade?" asked Pyrrha.
"Partly. That is Shade in a way." Said Ozpin.
"What do you mean I a way?" asked Velvet.
"You see, Shade was genetically modified in a way that had never even been attempted before. He was modified using the genetics of Grim." Said Ozpin.
Everyone was silent.
"Shade was the first successful attempt at creating a genetically modified Grim hybrid. What you saw when the 'monster' took hold, was only approximately one twentieth of his full power. If he was at full power, he could've easily killed anyone here. Not just the hunters and huntresses in training, but full-fledged Hunters and Huntresses as well such as Goodwitch, Oobleck, Port, and I. We would be almost powerless to stop him. It would take many of us working together all at once to stop his rampage. Not even I know what we would need to do to stop him, or if we even could." Said Ozpin, finishing his explanation.
"Does that mean that-" Velvet was cut off.
"Yes. He is at full power now. Whatever happened forced his grim side out. If he comes to the school, he could quite easily kill all of us without any trouble at all." Said Ozpin.
Just then, Ozpin received a message from Goodwitch on his scroll.
"Oh no. He's arrived." Said Ozpin.
Everyone in the room began to panic. Ozpin told them to stay in the room they were in and wait. I will record what is happening and it will be sent to your scrolls he also told them that if the unthinkable might happen, use the PA system to distract him and give Ozpin enough time to recover. Just turn it on and start talking.
They just nodded.
In the courtyard
Shade walked into view just as Ozpin arrived. Ozpin turned on his scroll and began recording. He set it up so that the others could see what was happening. Shade walked closer to the teachers. Just as Shade got within range, everyone began attacking him. Shade dodged every attack easily. He began laughing as they continued only to have Shade dodge every attack.
"My turn now." Said Shade in a demonic voice. He rushed down the teachers and swung his claws around wildly, getting off a few good hits on the teachers, causing many minor cuts wounds.
The teachers recovered quickly and began to continue the assault, only to have the same thing repeat over and over again. Shade dodge the attacks and attack back.
Ozpin and the teachers were running out of energy fast. They knew that it would be impossible to beat him like this. Ozpin looked back at his scroll and nodded. Velvet ran over to the P.A. System and turned it on. She began speaking.
"Shade! Please Shade, listen to me. It me Velvet. Don't do this. You need to stop. I know you aren't doing this. It's not who you are." Said velvet into the P.A. system.
Ozpin began speaking into his scroll. "Velvet whatever you're doing don't stop. Shade seems to recognize your voice."
"This isn't you. Don't let this thing take control of you. You're stronger than it. I know you are. You can break free. Just listen to me, please!" Velvet said, pleadingly.
Shade began grunting, as if he was fighting back against himself. His voice grew less demonic and started to sound more normal. "Velvet…" said Shade.
"Keep it up Velvet! He's fighting back." Said Ozpin into his scroll.
"Shade! Can you hear me! It's me Velvet!" said Velvet, continuing.
"Try to bring up some things that he would remember. Past memories of you and your friends." Said Ozpin.
"Shade. Remember when you defended me from Cardin and his friends? Or when you won the singing contest here at beacon?" asked Velvet.
Shade began to nod slightly.
"How about when you and Blake went out on a date?" asked Velvet.
"Blake…" said Shade, his voice almost back to normal.
"You need to finish this now. Say something that would be impossible to forget Velvet. Now!" said Ozpin.
"What about when I confessed my love for you Shade? Do you remember that? It was after the singing contest." Said Velvet.
Shade instantly dropped to his knees and passed out. He changed back into his usual self.
"It worked. He stopped the attack. Announce that the code black is over." Said Ozpin. And Velvet did so. Then she and all her friend s ran out to the courtyard to find Shade.
He was passed out cold on the ground. Curled up in the fetal position, and shaking. His breathing was shallow and quick. Not long after a few doctors showed up and took him to the infirmary. Not long after he arrived, he woke up. His friends showed up not long after that. When they entered the room, Shade avoided their gaze.
"Shade? Are you Ok?" asked Velvet.
Shade didn't respond.
"What's wrong?" asked Ruby.
Shade remained silent.
"Why won't you talk to us?" asked Coco.
Shade still didn't even so much as glance over at them.
"If you don't answer me right now, I won't like you anymore." Said Velvet.
'That'll get him talking.' Thought Blake.
However, Shade remained silent.
"Why won't you answer us?" asked Weiss.
"I'm not leaving this hospital room." Said Shade.
"What do you mean?" asked Pyrrha.
"Well, I'm not leaving it alive at least." Said Shade.
"What? What do you mean you're not leaving alive." Asked Nora.
"When I woke up, the doctors told me that I was to be killed for attacking beacon. There getting the injection ready now." Said Shade.
"What? You can't be killed!" yelled Jaune.
"That's crazy." Said Sun.
Just then, a doctor entered with a needle.
"Are you ready Shade?" asked the doctor.
"Yes. Goodbye everybody." Said Shade, holding out his arm.
His friends quickly surrounded him.
"You can't do this!" said Velvet.
"What do you mean?" asked the doctor.
"You can't kill him!" said Weiss.
"Of course not! Why would I do that?" asked the doctor.
"That's what he said the injection was for!" said Blake.
"It's not. The injection is to help him keep his destructive side under control." Said the doctor.
They all looked back at Shade. He was smiling.
"Weiss? Do you remember when you pretended to have amnesia in order to prank me? Didn't I say I would get you back for that? I always keep my word." said Shade.
"Why the hell would you do that?!" asked Weiss.
"I told you I would get you back. I delivered." Said Shade.
His friends got mad at him, but he managed to calm the down quickly after he got the injection. He went with his friends back to the dorm.
"So, I suppose you want to know why I exploded like that." Said Shade.
"That would be helpful, yes." Said Weiss.
"Alright. Let me take you back to the day my adoptive parents died-" Shade was cut off.
"We already know that story." Said Blake.
"And let me tell you the truth about that day.
Alright one more down. I actually had to type this out twice because just before I was able to save this chapter, my computer crashed. The next chapter may be in the works for a while. But anyways, that's the end of this chapter, and I will hopefully see you in the next chapter. Goodbye!
