7 years ago:
Allister kneeled patiently in the Dojo of the pulsing fist academy, watching as the current match was drawing to a close. Allister studied their fighting
techniques intently. As the fight ended. Allister straightened up. Master Kouga walked to the center of the room. Master Kogua looked younger, his beard not
so long and some hair remaining on his head. Master kogua carefully looked over each student. "Allister. Sai Ren." Master Kogua stated as he stepped out of
the ring. Allister immediately popped up and walked into the center of the room. Across from him was Sai Ren. Sai was maybe 2 years older than Allister, had
dark black hair, with a long streak of blue that matched his brothers pink streak. Sai and Ren actually resembled each other almost a little too much. Both Sai
and Allister took their fighting stances. " This time I will destroy you." Sai mocked. Allister smirked. Sai had been training here nearly 5 years and Ren 3. In
those 5 years Sai had promised he would defeat Allister nearly every time they fought, Which was a lot. However, At the request of Master Kogua, Allister had
not informed anyone that he has been living here his entire life, after being found abandoned, cold, and starved, as a newborn out in the wilderness. Allister
had been observing since he was 2 and training since he was 4. 8 years of hard work and dedication had effectively made Allister one of the youngest yet one
of the most successful students. "Fight!" Master Kogua called out. Allister's mind returned to reality as Sai immediately started with his signature move, a
quick flurry of roundhouse kicks, hoping to keep his opponent on his toes. Allister slid back out of reach. As Sai went to set his foot down, Allister snapped out
with his and managed to grab Sai's foot, pulling him forward. Sai became unbalanced as Allister stepped in and slammed a palm strike directly to Sai's chest.
Sai flew backwards and slid. Allister moved forward. Sai spun around and hit Allister's jaw with his heel. Allister smoothly rolled with the hit, turning and
laying his foot flat into Sai's chest. Sai slammed down on his back. Sai kicked up to his feet, backing Allister up. Sai quickly shuffled forward. Allister went to
sweep out Sai's legs. Sai jumped over Allister. Sai funneled his aura into his hand, causing it to pulse with the familiar purple color, before slamming his fist
into Allister's back. Allister staggered forward. Sai kept his distance, knowing an advance would only lead to problems. Allister righted himself and pooled aura
in his foot. Allister stomped down, causing the entire building to shake. Sai stumbled back and forward. Allister landed a jumping side kick to Sai's face.
Allister landed, took a step forward and kicked up and hit sai's face. Allister finished Sai off with a charged fist straight across his jaw. Sai's head snapped
violently to the side. Sai fell to his knees and the flat on his stomach. Allister placed a fist on an open palm and bowed to Sai before returning picking up Sai.
Master Kogua gave an approving nod as Allister carried Sai to the resting chambers. As Allister entered he was greeted by Clarice. "Hey Allister. Did you beat
up Sai again?" Clarice asked. "Yeah. It happens." Allister responded, as he started to lay Sai in the bed that he seemed to make his home, after each fight
with Allister. "You sure beat him pretty hard. And really quickly to." Clarice noted. "Yeah it's kinda weird." Allister admitted. "Well. It just means you're
starting to grow up and really getting powerful. I can tell you will be destined for great things one day." Clarice said. Allister blushed in embarrassment.
"Thanks." Allister said as he slipped out of the room.
A few Days Later, Allister was walking through the gardens of the the academy alone. 1 year ago Allister had been told the truth as to how he ended up being
an abandoned child. Every month Allister would take a couple of days where he would just spend his free time walking through out the the academy halls and
garden. Deep in thought. Allister thought of everything. Who his parents were? Why they abandoned him? Even what he would do if he ever got the chance to
see them in person? This day Alliser was so deep in his thoughts that he barely even noticed the footsteps coming up behind him. It was only at the last
second that Allister was able to recognize the situation and duck under an incoming swing from a metal diabo. Allister turned as the culprit swung again. As
Allister dodged the second swing he noticed his attacker was wearing a mask. Unfortunately for them they had chosen Allister's best weapon. As the attacker
made yet another attempt to hit Allister, Allister grabbed the end of the daibo and slammed the other end into the culprit's face. The masks shattered falling
off to reveal Sai. "Sai! What the hell are you doing?!" Allister demanded. "It doesn't matter what I'm doing. The only thing that matters is that you die here."
Sai said. Allister was shocked. "Why." "Why. Because I'm fucking sick of losing to you. This time I'm going to prove that I can best you. And the stakes have
never been higher." Allister's eyes widened in fear at Sai's insinuation. Sai immediately lunged forward. Allister rolled to the side of the daibo and lashed out
with a backfist. Sai ducked under the swing and slammed the daibo into Allister's ankle. Allister hopped on one leg. Sai stabbed the end of the diabo on
Allister's chest. Allister rolled over and jumped at Sai. allister grabbed Sai and slammed him up against a nearby tree. Allister reared back and punched
forward. Sai dodged to the side. Allister's fist impacted with the tree, barely smashing the tree in half. Allister tossed Sai to the side and stared at his own
fist. 'Since when have i been that strong' Allister thought to himself. Sai immediately jumped on Allister's back and pressed the diabo on Allisters neck. Sai
pulled up on the daibo trying to crush Allister's neck. Allister reached up and grabbed Sai's clothes, throwing him off of her. Sai landed and raced back at
Allister. Sai rolled under Allister's block and slammed a fist into Allister's shoulder, unleashing an aura pulse. Allister grunted as his shoulder broke. Sai
attempted to press the assault. Allister lashed out with a side kick across Sai's face, unhinging one part of his jaw. Allister turned around and slammed his
foot into Sai's chest, fracturing the bones. Sai stepped backwards before running back at Allister "Sai stop." Allister yelled. "Now its either you or me." Sai
said. Sai ran in and tried to reach up and gouge out Allister's eyes. Allister in an act of self preservation leashed out with his fist, directly at Sai's nose. Feeling
a lack of resistance, Allister looked up. Allister's eyes widened as he saw that his fist managed to fly directly through Sai's face, leaving a massive crater.
Allister staggered back, horrified at his own actions. Allister was barely able to contain himself as he started retching. At that exact moment Master Kogua and
some of the other high ranking academy managers. They were stunned as they looked upon Allister's bloody fist and the hole in Sai's face. "You...you killed
him." Master Kouga said, unbelievingly. "Wa. wait." Allister pleaded. "ITs is of no matter. It is against our belief to hold any whom have taken life on these
ground. Please leave." Master Kouga asked morosely. Allister clenched his fists as tears stung his eyes. "Please…. Master. Don't do this. He attacked me."
Allister responded. "That is of no concern. You have broken a cardinal rule. If you do not leave immediately then your safety is not guaranteed." MAster Kogua
continued. It took all of the strength in Allister's body to turn around and run off into the forest.
Present:
"Those are his sins." Kogua explained. While everyone looked somber at the retelling of the story, Ren stared intently into Kouga's eyes. "I know." Ren stated.
"What?" Kouga asked. "I was there. I knew my brother was going to attack him. I watched as Sai tried to kill Allister. I stood by as Allister killed my brother in
self defense. Have I wanted revenge-yes. Did I think Allister was evil- also yes. But, When I watch Allister after coming to beacon. The way he fights. The way
he treats his team, his friends, his family. I knew I couldn't kill him. Honestly, I saw too much of the man I wanted my brother to be within him. Allister has
been closer to the true Sai before he came to this academy. Allister is the one whom I consider my brother and I will always forgive my family." Ren spoke. As
Ren finished his heartfelt speech Allister chuckled from the ground below. "Well ain't that something." Allister said. "It's good to be with family." Kogua let out
a sigh before pulling his blade away and resheathing it. "Your kind words have touched my heart. Allister will not be killed for returning here. Your courage is
something to be admired young Ren." Kogua stated. Kouga walked over and assisted Allister to his feet. "And You Allister. If you have become even a ⅓ of the
man that I believe Ren makes you out to be. Then you've fulfilled everything I've ever wanted for you and then some." Master Kogua was interrupted when
Allister pulled him into a tight embrace. "It's good to be home." Allister whispered. The group looked on at the heartwarming scene, as all of the ninja's
sheathed their various weapons. Master Kogua pulled away from Allister. "Come now. We must celebrate. 2 of our finest students have come home.
That night Teams ENDD, JNPR, and RWBY partied with the students and faculty of the academy. The next morning however, It was time to get to business.
The group now stood in front of kogua as he sat rather seriously in his headmaster's quarters. "This academy is under imminent threat." Kouga said. "What
kind of threat?" Allister asked. " Long before the rise of hunters and huntresses, There was another sect which protected the world. They were known as the
Dynami. They are a clan of warriors whose bodies were physically on par with Grimm. There strength endurance and toughness was unmatched. However,
since they refuse the use of dust and Semblances they have since fallen out of favor to protect most of the world. The remaining clan members have been
fighting with us here at the academy for nearly 200 years over who owns the land. Normally, We are able to keep them at bay. But in light of some recent
events we have no choice but to take part in their challenge. A 6v6 tournament. Whichever side wins the most battles will permanently keep the land. Be wary
this is a fight… to the death." Master kogua explained. "I'm in." Allister stated promptly. "Hold on. Allister. Before you make such a hasty declaration there is
something that must be told." Master Kogua warned. Allister looked back curious. "When we found you as a child we were pretty sure, but after you killed Sai
we were 100% percent sure. You Allister are a descendent of the current royal family of the dynami." Allister looked stunned. "If Allister is royalty, why did
they abandon him? Look at him he's in perfect health, has great physical form, he's intelligent, what?" Yang asked. " The culture which Allister was born into is
one of great violence. They beat, train and fight everyday. Only the strongest specimen even make it too adulthood. Allister, despite his immense size and
strength compared to normal humans, is only a runt of the litter compared to the dynami." Kouga answered. Yang stepped back obviously trying to envision
Allister as small. "Allister do you believe you could kill your family?" Kouga asked. Allister shook himself out of his daze." Family? They are not my family. My
family is right here, almost. You guys raised me and team ENDD has stuck with me through everything we could possibly go through. I would gladly kill any
family for this family." Allister answered, confidently. Master Kouga nodded in approval. "I'm also in." Ren stated. "If darling get to punch some face. I want
in." Yang further said. Allister turned to Zade, Max, and Kenneth. "To the end." MAx responded. "What's a little death anyway?" Zade said. "Well, Eh what the
hell." Kenneth furthered. Allister turned back to Kogua. "IT has been decided The tournament starts in three days. Go. Prepare yourselfs. Make us proud."
Kogua finished as the group left the building ready for some hard core training.
midnight:
Allister stood in the garden, staring at the sight where he ended Sai's life. A cherry blossom tree had grown on the spot, immortalizing his first kill. The moon
shone down, it's light softly illuminating the forest. Allister raised his head as he heard the grass crunch behind him. Allister sighed as he felt a set of arms
wrap around his waist. Allister reached behind himself and placed his hand on top on Yang's head. Yang walked around to the side of Allister. "So, this is where
it happened huh?" Yang asked. "Yep." Allister responded breifly. Yang sighed. "How?" She asked. Allister chuckled, already knowing what came next. "How do
you guys manage to do it. How can you kill people. I know I volunteered because I wanted to help you and your famiy, but…" Yang trailed off. "Don't think you
can bring yourself to kill another person?" Allister asked, gently. "I mean killing grimm is one thing but humans." Yang responded. Allister turned and sat on
the grass, his back up against the tree. Allister reached out and pulled Yang into his lap. Allister held yang together tightly. "Killing someone sucks. As much
as I've done it, it's not necessarily proud of it. No one is. What I've learned though, is that the only way to put that behind you… is to find something on this
planet that you can place above all else in your mind as inequivically important. When I fought Sai, it was for my own life. When I worked as an Assassin, it
was for my team, my brothers. Now I have you. All of those things considered, and I see all the reason I need to take ones life and protect my own." Allister
explained. Yang leaned upwards and capture Allsiter's lips with her own. As Yang pulled away she whisphered to him. "Then the thing that drives me is you."
Allister simply held Yang close to himself. "I guess tommorrow we start training. We should probably head back." Allister stated. "No, let's stay here." Yang
mummured in his arms. Allister rolled his eyes before pulling Yang even closer. The two continued to sit in a confortable silence, both nervous and excited for
the future.
(Insert awesomely scored training montage here)
3 days later
Darron was practically numb at this point. He couldn't remember when the pain had started, nor did have any idea when the pain would end. Darron just lay
there, his body totally engulfed by his own crimson flames. However, not matter how angry and strong he got. The voices always seemed to be a distant
constant, never threatening to take over like before. Darron;s thoughts had begun to drift to his team, his friends, Blake. When suddenly there was a large
mechanical beep and the pain subsided. Darron breathed a sigh of relief as he reabsorbed all of his crimson fire. Darron looked over at Professor Ozpin as he
entered. "You've just made it 18 hours without losing your mind to you voices. That's rather impressive considering how short of a time you've been here."
Ozpin complemented. "Does that mean I can go home." Darron asked hopefully. "Not yet. But it does mean you are one step closer." Ozpin consoled. Darron
sighed, melancholy, as he pulled himself off of the table he was being 'trained' on. Darron followed Ozpin into a more comfortable room. There was a simply
couch in front of a monitor. "For your rapid progress then I can give you one reward." I contacted your team and they will be streaming their current mission.
You can watch as you complete the 2nd part of your training." Ozpin explained. Darron silently took a seat on the couch, Ozpin switched on the screen. Darron
smiled as images of Blake, and the rest of the group currently sparring in preparation. "I want you to use the liquid sorrow part of your semblance to build the
largest things you can think off and keep making it bigger and bigger, When the voices almost take over, stop rest for 5 minutes and start again." Darron
nodded as he began spitting the black liquid out of his mouth. Darron began molding the liquid into a statue of Blake. As Darron made the statue bigger, The
voices became rather raucous inside his head. Darron sighed as he focused on the video of his team.
As Ozpin exited the room Glynda Goodwitch stared at him. "You shouldn't have lied to him." Glynda said. "What does it matter who's doing the filming.
Ironwood's dragonfly drone is perfectly capable and how the hell is he going to know. Besides, it made him happy. That's something we need to do to
hopefully not degrade his overall mental state more than we already have." Ozpin explained as he walked away. Glynda groaned as she followed the
headmaster.
The morning of the tournament the 6 six competitors were all ready for whatever was thrown their way. The sun had just crested the horizon and the group
was making their way towards the gate of the academy. Jaune and Pyrrha walked together hand in hand. "Hey pyrs. Why is it that whenever we have to face
some life threatening situation it's always team ENDD that steps up to take the hit. I mean, we are trained hunters, we should be able to help those guys out
time from time." Jaune voiced. "Jaune. If I can be totally honest." Pyrrha stopped walking and suddenly grew serious. "We aren't prepared for this, or quite
frankly anything that Team ENDD has covered for us. We are hunters, that is true, however, we are trained to kill grimm. Mindless monsters of our own dark
subconscious. We aren't ready to take on intelligent humans who can go toe to toe with grimm barehanded, without any aura or semblance. Nor do I believe
that we have capacity to take lives of others like their asking. I know as hunters we might need to one day, but it's not today. And our hesitation could lead to
our deaths. Besides, I don't know what I would do if I lost you." Pyrrha explained. Jaune's looked at Pyrrha softly. Jaune leaned in and gently kissed Pyrrha.
"I'm not going anywhere. I promise." Jaune said. Pyrrha nodded as the made their way to the front gate. Once they and the rest arrived, master Kogua led
them into the forest.
As Master Kogua lead them through the forest, they made their way to a colosseum built sturdily. As they walked through the halls The rest of the group
couldn't help but feel nervous. They entered into the center of the arena and were amazed. Members of both sides were in seats all around the ring, but what
was even more terrifying was the fact that everyone form the dynamic was at least 7 feet tall. Throughout all of this though Allister maintained perfect
composure. The group waited patiently until their opponents arrived. These were just as impressive as the others, standing a minimum of 7' 8" And lead by a
girl who was easily 8'6" Allister stared intently as a man wearing obvious royal garb walked between them. The man was a complete giant towering at 9'0".
"Master Kogua." the man said in a deep voice. "King Artashir." Master Kogua responded. "I see you brought back my disowned son as means of dating me, but
I assure you his older sister. My daughter, my champion, will rule this day." The king spoke. "Eat your words." Kogua retorted. "How about you eat my fists."
The girl who was apparently Allister's sister taunted. Allister remained perfectly stoic. "Send out your first fighter." an announcer commanded. Allister was
perfectly ready to take the stage when Kogua stopped him. "No Your battle is with your sister. Last." Koga said. Allister nodded and backed down. Yang ran
forward into the arena. She was met in the middle by one of the smaller men. "Well hello there tiny. Im jyfer." Jyfer introduced. "Yang." Yang responded. "Why
is such a pretty young thing like yourself doing here. You could get hurt." Jyfer taunted. "This little thing can do more than you think." Yang responded.
"Fighters ready. Begin!" Upon the announcers call Yang immediately unloaded a shotgun shell at Jyfer's feet. The blast knocked Jyfer flat on the floor. As Jyfer
mover to push himself up, Yang slammed a fist across the side of his head. Jyfer planted his feet beneath him and stood back up, picking Yang up by the
slammed Yang violently to the ground, causing a small crater. Jyfer raised his foot to curbstomp Yang. Yang quickly rolled over and knocked Jyfer's foot to the
side. Yang sat up and unloaded a massive punch right to Jyfer's testicles. As Jyfer, gasped for air and stumbled back, Yang pressed her advantage, swinging
and hitting all over Jyfer's chest. Eventually Jyfer managed to right himself, despite the blows he was still taken from Yang. Yang stopped her flurry of punches
to see they had only left minor injuries on her opponent's chest. Jyfer snapped his knee to Yang's chin and she flew into the air. Jyfer followed up by slamming
a fist directly into Yang's stomach. Yang could feel the wind leave her lungs as she landed rather ungracefully. As Yang stood up, she barely got her arms up in
time to stop a kick from Jyfer, Despite her block, the force of the kick was still enough to send Yang careening across the arena. Yang staggered back to her
feet. Jyfer bent down and headbutted Yang sharply. Yang stepped back before running forward, punching and kicking at jyfer. Jyfer smirked as he causally
blocked and brushed off every attack that Yang was throwing at him. "Please give up darling. There is no way you can win." Jyfer taunted. "I will never give
up, Kill me first." Yang defied through gritted teeth. "As you wish." Jyfer said. Jyfer immediately tried to spin into a kick across Yang;s head. However, Yang
anticipated and rolled under the kick. Yang jumped up and punched Jyfer straight in the nose. Yang landed and moved to turn her attention towards his knees.
Her attack was short lived as Jyfer slammed his knee into Yang's chest first. Yang shook it off and began firing a volley of rounds off at Jyfer. Jyfer managed to
dodge most of the blasts, but used his arms to deflect others. Jyfer managed to get in close to Yang. the man began swinging his fists, hoping to clip the side
of Yang's head. Fortunately her small stature comparatively, allowed her great maneuverability around Kiefer's punches. Yang tried to take a swing for Jyfer
head but unfortunately was unable to , in her attempt, had left herself vulnerable. Jyfer grabbed onto Yang by the wrist and hoisted her into the air. Jyfer
placed another hand on her shoulder and began pulling. Yand screamed in pain as the shoulder was pulled out of its socket. Yang lashed out unloading a
shotgun shell at Jyfer's face. Jyfer dropped Yang and yelled out as the bullet tore into his eye. As jyfer cradled his face Yang managed to pop her shoulder
back in place. In a pained rage jyfer slammed out with his hand, hitting the top of Yang's head. Yang's head slammed violently on the ground. Jyfer reached
down and Yanked Yang up by her hair. Jyfer slammed his fist into Yang's ribs snapping some of them. Suddenly, Yang burst into flames and her iris turned red.
Yang twisted herself in his grasped and kicked his ribs back, snapping a few in return. Yang reached up and punched his jaw, snapping it in two. Yang pointed
down and unloaded a shell, snapping the knee of Jyfer. As Yang approached him, Jyfer managed to block a punch and land his own acoss Yang's face. Jyfer, in
his own rage continued to punch across her face, shattering her cheekbone."I hope you enjoyed your final moments. Don't worry yourself too much. I'm sure
your pretty boyfriend, I'm assuming, will see you in hell." Yang's entire eyes began to burn deep red. "Don't you dare touch him!" Yang screamed, popping up
with an uppercut. The force separated Jyfer's head from his torso, his torso from his waist, and his legs from his feet. As each body part rained back down,
Yang punched it viciously, sending blood and gore all over, Yang finished it off with one solid punch to the decapitated skull, which all but disintegrated. Yang
panted heavily as she came down from her semblance. Yang began to wobble unsteadily, As Yang finally felt her legs give out, she felt herself being lifted into
a strong embrace. Yang looked up to see Allister carrying her back towards the group. "You were right. Killing sucks." Yang stated. Allister smiled down at her.
"It always will… it always will." Allister placed Yang down and the remaining 5 competitors looked across the arena, anxious for the next life or death
showdown.
I'm going to level with you guys. I honestly wished I had done a little bit more with Allister and Sai's backstory but to be honest, I ,honest to God, spent almost 5 days working on this chapter alone and it just wasn't cooperating. Not to mention I've been bogged down lately I'm just glad I've been able to push out 4 chapters much less develop 3 them to 100%(fuck school). Hope you can forgive that oversight in development will continue to stick with this story.
