Hey guys I know it's a long wait between chapters I'm just really backed up on work. Ill post when I can.
Chapter 4
Where have all the sane people gone?
Shaun POV
Pain.
That's all I feel as I appear in this dark place
I see that I'm young again. I'm in front of a small fire in a world of ice and snow. As I think, the pain seems to intensify. I feel a clawing sensation coming from my heart. For some reason I already know what is sitting there. My insanity, the beast within is trying to get out. The pain grows stronger. I start to cry and ask the pain to stop but it never does, but the pain does lesson enough for me to speak. As I look around I see a small petal fall next to me, I look at it and more appear.
A cloud of these petals floated towards me and a voice talks to me.
"Hey little guy, what's wrong?" it asked
"Have you ever had the feeling that something in your heart is trying to get out to do something bad? My heart shows love but it's filled with hate. It hurts, but if I let it out people will get hurt". I say with a whimper.
"What bad thing will happen?" it asked
"The beast that sits in all man's heart wishes to escape but can't. Mine wants out and it hurts. If it gets out I will lose control and I don't know what to do". I stand up suddenly and I look at the moon and it fills me with fear, the clawing feeling is about to rip me in half as I feel myself starting to change.
"The true nature of one's heart and soul show on the night of a full moon". I say as my voice becomes more ragged. I see in the whites of her eyes mine have become blood red. "I can't keep it in. run while you can". I fall over and my hands turn to smoke and I scream in pain as I change. My body was not, yet it was.
As the smoke clears I don't have control over, my body as it starts to run at the cloud of petals. I can finally see their colour. A blood, deep red yet with a mix of innocent strawberry red. As I approach the cloud at a speed I knew I did not possess, I dived at the petals, but missed. I keep chasing her as we hit a snowy peak.
As I approach I see the cloud of petals meld with another group must this one is of white and silver. I try to get through but I smash against a field of petals. As I move away the silver and white petals restrain me and take away most of the madness and I start to drift in to a world of black and white.
Ruby POV
As I look at Shaun for a second I see that something about him is familiar with my dream. I see his soft plush wolf ears that are a dirty blond colour. His tail is a light blonde with a tip of brown and white. His canine are sharper and are drawing blood from his lips as he winces in pain.
I hear the door slam open and Li looks worried. He then runs straight from the room for no reason muttering something about Professor Ozpin. I look at Shaun and he is slowly calming down. He starts to lay there asleep and only breathing the occasional wince was heard.
I hear a thundering set of footsteps, a click of heals and a tap of a light step. My team were almost here. I dive from my bed and throw a curtain around Shaun and cover his tail. I just get back to my when yang (surprisingly) gently opens the door and looks around.
She sees me awake and smiles at me then moves to me. She take me into a bear hug but it's a soft one not a bone crushing hug. She look extremely worried but that cleared up when I hugged her back.
"How are you doing Ruby, you just dropped with no warning"? She says calmly.
"I don't know, I just felt dizzy and I dropped. Then I was dreaming of a land of Ice and snow, a little boy who became a monster and my mother's grave with her standing there, then I woke up here with the curtains around that bed". I say only slightly lying.
"I don't see why they are hiding him" Weiss says walking to the curtains. "Let's get a better look at this mystery man". Weiss says as she rips back the curtain. But the bed was empty. "I thought you said that he was here". Weiss exclaimed. She looks around the other beds and no one is there.
A window suddenly fly's open and something fly's out in a blur.
"THERE HE GOES" Screams Weiss and she charges after the blur. Blake just giggles and follows.
"Okay sis I'll be back soon. I need to stop your partner from killing herself in your absence". Yang says with a quick hug and runs off.
As I look at the door I hear a rustle sound. I look at Shaun's bed and see that he is asleep in his bed once more. I look at him for a second and he seems to twitch. He starts to move around and get up. His eyes are an ocean blue once more and he seems calm. Then puts a hand to rub his hair and looks blank, then he sees his tail and he is about to yell when I plant my hand on his mouth to stop noise.
Shaun POV
As I wake up I'm covered in a sheet and a few blankets. I hear a voice more clearly then I normally would. Its high pitch and its painful. So I move under my bed and rap myself in a blanket. I then hear a curtain open and knew that was mine. The voice was getting higher in pitch as they moved around. I through my blanket through the window and I heard the voice stop then screech about running out of the room. Two other people followed the voice out of the room. After a few seconds I climb back into my bed and lay down.
But with all the noise I can't sleep so I sit up and yawn. I rub my hand over my head and felt something fluffy. I put both hands on my head and felt 2 fluffy ears sitting on my head. I rubbed them and it tickled, then a swoosh sound court my attention. I had a tail. It was a bushy tail that belonged to a dog or a wolf. I'm about to shout for Li when a red blur slammed a hand over my mouth.
With the shock I bite down and chomp into the hand. I hear an ear piecing scream and I jump back. I see that I've bitten a girl, and as I look closer I see that it's Ruby. I touch my teeth and see I have really sharp teeth. I taste an iron taste and its blood. I drop to the floor and back into a corner. My hand over my mouth and I start to bite my own hand.
The door gets smashed in and there is Yang. Red eyed. Blood is flowing from my hand now and I'm lying on the ground in the fetial position. She sees Ruby's hand has 2 bite marks and that I have blood on my mouth. She storms over to me. But when she gets there she sees that I'm in a pool of blood. A chunk of flesh from my hand lay in front of me but the skin and flesh have been healed.
When she got closer she saw the new ears and tail, she looked into his eyes and saw only fear, dread and confusion. As she got closer she saw his eyes dart to hers and something told her to get away. Weiss was over at Ruby healing the bite on her hand.
"Why are you so worried about him, he bit your sister and she has to punchers in her hand. If you won't do anything then I'm going to do something". Weiss said taking Myrtenaster from its sheath.
Just before she could take a step Shaun sprung up and rushed through the door and smashed it down. Wood splinters and glass shards riddle his chest as he runs. Pieces fall as he runs down the hall. His wounds have heal yet he still runs as fast as he can. Just before he gets out the main door he hits a heavily built male with brown hair and 3 cronies next to him. As they hit the ground they look at each other and back up 4 meters in opposite directions.
"So the guy who throw me through a wall is really a dirty, disgusting and lowly Faunus" say Cardin. His team and him all grab their weapons and get ready to strike.
"I don't want to fight you Cardin, Let me through now". I say an eerie second voice mixing with mine.
"Why should I let you through and how do you know my name"?
"Ozpin told me now, please move out of my way otherwise I will use force". I say in a threating tone.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! You really think I would be scared of you. Get him guys". His three cronies attack first.
I grab the knifes on my belt and role away, and kick one of them in the hip. I block a sword with a barrel and kick the guy in the balls. I move over to the one with the trident and pin it. He then spins if weapon disarming me. I dive and only manage to grab on knife.
"HAHA! What will you do without your weapon"? Cardin laughs, then charges at me with his mace.
I dive behind a wall. I see a button on the knife and press it hoping for a miracle. The sword shifted in places and became a katana like sword. I move around the corner and see the other knife and run for it. Cardin sees me and runs as fast as he can. But with his armour on is too slow. I grab the blade and hit the second button, now duel wielding 2 katana's, I charge at him and slash at his chest plate.
As the blades connect his armour just falls off and he falls unconscious. I hit the buttons again and they become daggers again.
"Now leave me alone ok". I say as I start to run again. As I look back I see Ruby in the window with a sad look on her face. I stop and jump into a tree to collect my thoughts.
UNKNOWN POV
As I sit behind the thousands of screens showing all the realities in my control, I remember those 2 teens I sent to the Remnant reality. I flip to their screen and see that the blonde one has grown a tail and wolf ears. The brown haired one has longer hair and is a bit buffer then he once was.
I see that they are now separated so I channel into the brown haired teens separate screen. He's trying to explain why his friend ran off. It hit me that they won't be able to live at that school, because I've had dealings with Ozpin before and he won't accept any favours for another 1000 years. So looks like I need to give them a place to stay.
Once that's done I put a letter in the blonde's room and smile at how he would react. I leave the rooms and put the house generator button in the computers. I hit the launch button and made it so the impact would leave a path to town and the back of the school. I laugh and walk back to watch the fun.
Ozpin POV 2 hours before He enters lab
As I walk through my school I think of what I plan to change my looks to next. Immortality is a pain when people know that you are still alive. I think back to when the two people who barged into my office and stalled me at chess. What are they and what is this darkness sitting inside the blond boy's heart and soul. As I walk down a secret hall I open the door to my lab with cameras to every room, building and most of the forests on the Beacon property. As I turn on the scream it shows a flaming object falling from the sky, I just groan.
LI POV
As I look for Ozpin I hear a commotion over by the front of the building.
When I get there I see 2 guys pale as a ghost, one holding his balls in pain and another on the ground unconscious. I walk over to check out the damage but I don't see who did it. I walk away and head to the infirmary to see Shaun.
On my way I see Team RWBY walking back from there and I see Weiss and I feel my chest tighten. 'What's wrong at me' I think. As I walk past Weiss rams me into the wall.
"Hey what was that for"? I ask in confusion.
"Your friend just attacked Ruby and fled the scene like a chicken". She says with a smug grin.
Taking in this information, I straight away face palm. He's not running because he's a chicken or an idiot. He's running because he thinks something else will happen.
"Okay go sit down and I'll explain a something about Shaun". I say as I head to the Infirmary waiting room.
I sit down around the coffee table and lay back. The girls all sit down, Ruby took the bandage off and the wound has healed. She looked a little shocked but waved it off.
"So as you may have guessed Shaun and I are not from here. Where we come from your world was made by a man called Monty Oum. He made it and Shaun loved that world. He dreamt of coming here for so long. And since he didn't believe he would come here he made multiple weapons, Armour and a semblance. He made his Ditto Adaption. It allows him to take have multiple semblances and use them when he wants. But he made a side effect. The beast of madness. The more semblances he gets the madder he becomes." I start to explain. They look like they didn't believe me.
"He also made it that he could release the madness by having a tail and ears. They help him dissipate the madness in him. If he can calm down he will be fine and by taking a small drop of Ruby's blood he now can use her semblance. By taking blood or some kind of large DNA piece he can learn their semblance".
"But now that he is really here and everything he thought is coming true he believes that he will lose control". I finish.
"You know that is all a load of crap. We are the main world and you are just from some other world. And your friend was just really good at hiding his Faunus heritage". Weiss says with a snort.
"Why did I know that none of you would understand any of this?" I say with a sad voice. I look out the window and I see the sun slowly descending into the distance. I look at a big tree and smile, Shaun's in a tree looking into the distance. I look at the direction and jump from my seat. A flaming ball is heading for the court yard. I get up and run out.
Ruby POV
Li's explanation was hard to believe but how do you suddenly grow a tail, ears, long teeth and then start to run away from everyone. Li looked out the window with a sad look. He smiled a bit when he looks out it and sees Shaun in a tree laying down with a tiny stream like mist floating off him. He moves from the tree and looks into the distance. Li suddenly bursts up and runs out of the room.
From the sudden move we all were shocked then we saw him run past a window towards the massive fire ball. Shaun was moving faster than Li and followed the fire ball into the forest.
As I get up I run to the door and see my team still in shock at the sight of a massive fire ball.
"Guys come on we need to move and see what's happening". I say.
Just as I say that the fire ball hits the ground and the shock wave throws everyone around. Weiss hit the wall, Blake hit the book case and yang hit the coffee table. They were all knocked out. I get up from the floor and see the window is smashed. I shard of glass has been smashed into my hand. I pull it out and run. Not thinking of the pain. I run straight out of the building and head straight to the smoky crater.
As I run there are smashed walls and windows, statues and arch ways have been destroyed. The forest though seemed like nothing had hit it. It then hit me, if this happened to the school then Shaun and Li would have felt a 10x more powerful blast being near the crater.
As I move through the forest I see barely any damage. Maybe one or 2 plants ripped up but nothing else.
I move closer and I see a trail. When I look at it, what I see makes me gasp and cover my mouth. Li is next to a rock with one of his arms torn off. I rush over to him and I see he's breathing normally like nothing happened. His eyes open and he looks at his arm and laughs then winces.
"Well this complicates things". He laughs out. "Well if everything I wanted is then…." He pauses.
Slowly the skin and bone start to reform and the muscles, fat and nerves grow back. I felt like vomiting as I watched. His arm was fully re grown and working in 10 minutes.
"I had a regeneration semblance. I can regrow any part of myself and the more I have to re-grow that part the faster I can re-grow it". He stated.
"Ok well I think we should go find Shaun before I lose my lunch". I say as I head to the stream of smoke. Li catches up to me and we begin to run as we see there is still a fire.
As we get closer we hear laughter. I look near a tree and see Shaun laughing up against a tree, with fire missing him as he lays on a green area and the tree is fine.
"HAHAHAHA, that was fun let's do it again." Shaun laughs his tail and ears with small parts of black.
He then shakes his head and gets up to move over to the crater still laughing. He looks into the hole and see's 2 big crates. He moves closer and grabs one of the crates. One has S.B on it and the other has L.B. He pulls a knife from his side and hits a button and it becomes a katana. He swings the blade and the front falls down. Inside was almost like a room. It was filled with a bed, a car, and repair stations, some weird machines that have windows 10 on its screen, a bath room, a kitchen and a living room/games area.
Shaun just has his mouth open. And walks over to a wall with photos and a letter. The pictures has a family and some with lots of friends. He opens the note and starts to get really angry. I take the letter and read it.
Dear my new toys
I have taken you from your homes and placed you in a world that will change because of you. Your own world will fall to a war in 7 months' time and only you two can stop it.
This world's science are trying to make a machine to brake the fabric of realities and attack others. I've estimated that they will be able to construct this machine in 5 months.
When they appear in your world, both your families will be some of the first to die thanks to this world taking all hunters and huntresses full and in training into a special commando troop.
You must make allies, Find their projects, destroy the machines, kill the scientists and take/delete all of their research.
Do as I say and they will live and I'll give you a device that will allow you to get you between your world, this world and mine. Have fun and these two rooms are an apology to you in advance, have fun.
From your favourite lord of realities
As I see the look on Shaun's face he waves over to Li and he pulls up a picture. It's of a girl around his age and he's smiling next to her. He pulls out one more photo and it has a family and a dog on it. When he sees it he smiles and a tear falls down his face. I look around the room once more as Li moves into Shaun's crate. He looks around and leaves. Walking to his crate.
I'm confused and now Li's explanation seems more realistic. I look out the door and see Li opening his crate. His looks like Shaun's but with a bigger computer and a different car. He read the letter and went straight to the computer. As he logged on a grinding sound was heard. Then Shaun went on his and his started up and the grinding got louder.
The crates move next to each other and they join. Rooms and walls started to form and soon two, one story houses are right next to each other, with a drive way that splits in 2 directions. Then the garages and back yards are joined together. It may as well been one house.
I look at Shaun and he has a sad smile on his face as he says one thing.
"Time to unleash the dogs of war" He says as his eyes flash a crimson red and he smiles.
Hey guys, chapter 4 is finally out. I did this in 3 days with little sleep while on a cadet activity. So I'm still doing this story and I will be holding this for now so I can re-write the first 3 chapters and to write chapter 4 of my Rangers apprentice and RWBY crossover story.
Ok I'll let you all know when I have other things on and if I'm going to make any more changes. CYA!
