It's OK, Omega is here. What's up guys, here is the second to last chapter of Team CFIN, the story I know you all love so much *cricket noises*. Ahem, moving on, here is last chapter reference:
Reference 1: Mulan is the village that Ren and Nora are from in one of my favorite RWBY fics that just recently finished, Her white, pink, and brown knight. It's a JauneXNeo ship that I really enjoy, so go read it instead of this piece of crap.
There are three references in this chapter, one from Naruto, one from Kuroko No Basket, and the other from Cardfight!Vangaurd. Without further ado, let's start the chapter.
Pain.
That was all Cyan could feel as he lay in a pile of dead grimm. Joker had truly gotten his first challenge, but in doing so he had overclocked Cyan's body way more than he ever had before. So much so that, at the moment Cyan couldn't speak nor could he open his eyes. His throat felt like hell, Cyan guessed that Joker did a lot of laughing during his battle. Cyan also couldn't really fell anything , so he didn't notice when he was being dragged from the bloody battlefield by a boy with black hair
Yang was full of worry and guilt. It had been an entire day, since the grimm ambush, when Yang could finally move again. She immediatly took out her rage on some nearby trees, turning them into splinters. After she cooled down, Yang, Neo, and the rest of Team CFIN went back into the forest to see if they could find the blue-haired boy.
When they returned to the spot they had fled the day before, they found hundreds of dead grimm parts. Grimm themselves disentegrated when they died, but if you were to cut something off a grimm before it died, it would stay behind. The ground was covered in various limbs and pieces, and the dirt underneath had turned black from all the grimm blood.
"Holy shit!" Yang exclaimed, shocked by the level of carnage that she saw before her. "How did Cyan manage to do this?"
Neo was just as surprised as Yang was. They had both seen their fair shair of grimm massacres, but battlfields of this side were never done by one person.
The members of Team CFIN shared a look of confirmation, before Iris spoke up.
"Joker."
"What?" Yang questioned.
"Cyan has this split personality called Joker tha is ten times stronger than he usually is, as well as ten times more ferocious and bloodthirsty. The backlash of letting this personality out is that afterwards, Cyan can't move for ten days afterwards." Iris explained, she and her teammates knew that Joker was the only way that Cyan could had done this. "If he hasn't been taken by anyone or anything, he'll be here."
"Alright then, let's start looking." Yang said. "Split up and see if you can find any signs of Cyan."
They all nodded and began their search.
A few minutes later, Nagami discovered something. "I found something over here!" Nagami's exclamation immediatly brought over the rest of the group. In her hands was a broken handgun, the barrel snapped of at the base of the gun.
'I got something, too.' Feirin wrote, bringin out a stark white knife, that was snapped in half.
"Anything that shows where Cyan is?" Yang asked.
They all shook their heads.
"Dammit!" Yang cursed, punching a tree, that snapped in half at the force of the punch. "Keep looking, we could have missed sometihng."
They all continued their search, eventually finding the remaining handgun, and the rest of the Pawns, but no Cyan. Hours later, they give up their search coming to terms with that fact they didn't know where Cyan was. With their heads hung low, they return to the village to contact Ozpin, and tell him the bad news.
Cyan woke to find that, surprisingly, still alive. He was also actually able to open his eyes, and he felt that his throat was in better shape. Unable to turn his head, the main focus of his vision was a wooden ceiling. Cyan also noticed out of the corner of his eye, a small figure ferociously eating a large pile of food.
"Um, hello?" Cyan called out.
The figure stopped eating and looked in Cyan's direction. "Oh, so you're awake." The was male, and fairly young. Cyan guessed around fourteen or fifteen by the sound of it. The young man got up from where he was eating and walked over to the blue-haired boy, allowing Cyan a better look of him.
The boy had pitch black hair that reached down to his shoulders, topped off by a pair of wolf ears on his head. The boy seemed to have heterochromia, judging from his green right eye, and his red left eye. From what Cyan could see the boy was only wearing black cargo shorts, and a black torn-up serape(A/N: Look it up) with a hood attached to it.
"Sorry about your helmet, I needed to make sure you were still breathing, and I couldn't find a way to take it off without breaking it." The boy said sheepishly, holding up Dark Tyrant's helmet that looked like it had been near cleaved in half.
"It's fine, you have no idea how often that thing gets broken." Cyan said waving off the apology, or he would have if he could move. "I'm Cyan, pleased to meet you. It'd try and shake your hand, but I lietrally can't move at the moment."
"I'm Razi, Razi Kuro." The boy said with a smile. "So, why can't you move?"
"It's a long story, but I'm not going anywhere anytime soon, so I might as well tell it." Cyan said. Cyan began to explain everything from Joker to why he was in a pile of grimm parts, when Razi found him.
"So," Razi bagan to summarize. "You have a split personality named Joker that increases your fighting capability by tenfold, in exchange for not moving for a week. You're the leader of a hunters-in-training called Team CFIN, and you just singehandedly killed 200 grimm."
"Well, two hundred when I let Joker take over, I wouldn't be surpised if he tripled the number afterwards." Cyan interjected.
Razi started to shake, and before Cyan could wonder what was wrong, Razi excitedly exclaimed. "THAT'S SO COOL!"
'Well, that's a reaction I haven't heard very much.' Cyan thought, only ever getting that type of reaction from Aqua, before. "Did you only take off my helmet?"
"Huh, oh, yeah."
"Could you take the rest of it off? There should be a button on the back of my left knee." Cyan told the boy.
Razi did as Cyan instructed, and pressed the button. The armor quickly started to unfold, before turning into the claymore form of Dark Tyrant, only this time there was a large hole at the top of the blade resembling a half-moon.
'Huh, kinda looks like the sword of that infamous assasssin.' Cyan thought. 'What was his name? Mokuba? Rakuza? Zaboon? I'll think of it later.'
"I don't want to be rude," Cyan said. "But, do you think I could have something to eat?"
Cyan saw a look of uncertainty on Razi's face, before the boy smiled again. "Sure, just give me a second."
Razi walked back over to the table that held his pile of food, and returned with fruit and some meat, as well as a chair so he could sit down near Cyan. "Take your pick?" Razi encouraged.
"Can I have some of the grapes?" Cyan said, eyeing the small fruit with hunger in his eyes.
"Sure." Razi said, before he gave the Cyan the grapes, he sat Cyan upstraight so that he could have an easier time eating. This gave Cyan a better point of view, as Razi gave him a grape to eat.
The house he was in wasn't very large, and didn't seem to have many things in it. What the house did have was a fireplace, a table, two chairs, and the bed Cyan was currently laying in. On the other side of the room from where Cyan laid, there was a door, and to the left of that was a window showing the forest outside.
"So," Cyan said, chewing on another grape. "What's your story? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." Cyan added the last bit to make sure he didn't upset the boy, like he had Neo.
"No, it's fine." Razi said, calming Cyan's nerves. "Trust me, when you've been out here as long as I have, you really don't care what the conversation is, just as long as you can talk to someone. So, where to start. Well, first off, you don't seem to care that I'm a faunus."
"Well, both my sister and my girlfriend are faunus, combined with the fact that I'm a half-faunus. So, I don't think I should care whether or not you have wolf ears." Cyan said with a smile.
Razi smiled at Cyan's statement, and started to resume his story. "I grew up on the streets as an orphan in Vale. I wasn't very well liked there, even among other orphans. Which was mainly due to the fact that I'm a born glutton." Razi gestured to the pile of food behind him with an embarrassed smile. "When you don't know when your next meal is, you try and stay away from the guy who is most likely to eat all your food. One day, aboat four years ago, I was on the brink of starvation, and I knew that it would be the last day I would live, but a man passed by me and instead of walking past me and ignoring me, he offered me some food. I immediatly stuffed the food he gave me into my mouth. After I ate, the man gave me an offer to come with him and to never be hungry again. I was desperate so I agreed not caring if he was a good person or not. I would have been more wary of him, if he hadn't show me that he had wolf ears like I did.
"He brought me to this cottage, and unlocked my aura, trained me on how to hunt, and he gave me this." Razi reached behind him, and brought out a cobalt blue hachet. "When I press this button..." Razi said pressing a button on the handle, upon pressing the button, the hachet's handle extended three feet, and a spear point extended from the top. It formed a rather impressive looking halberd. "It's name is peredur, and it's saved my life a ton of times."
Razi contracted the weapon, and placed it back where it was, before returning to his story. "While I was here, I found and cultivated my semblance."
"What's your semblance?" Cyan asked curiously.
Suddenly, Razi's presense completly disappeared from Cyan's vision. He looked around frantically for the wolf faunus, but couldn't find him. "Where did you go?"
"I'm still right here." Razi said, his voice coming from exactly where he had been sitting.
"So, you can turn invisible?" Cyan asked, very confused.
"Not exactly." Razi said with a chuckle. "What my semblance lets me do is completly erase my presense from people's minds, it lets me be completly unnoticable. Scent, sight, hearing, touch, when I interact with someone in any of those ways, they won't notice at all. I could punch someone in the face, and they would just go about there day as if nothing ever happened."
"That's pretty overpowered." Cyan said, understanding how Razi was able to live in a grimm-infested forest without anyone finding out.
"Yeah, I had a lot of fun with the old man, when I finally figured it out." Razi said, smiling at old memories. "But, back to the story, about a year after he essentially adopted me, I asked him why he helped me. He told me that he was a retired huntsman, who didn't have long to live, something about a large ingestion of grimm blood."
Cyan shivered at the thought of that, grimm blood was incredibly slow and painful way to die. They had cures for small cases of grimm blood ingestion, but if too much is in your system, you're already dead.
"He said, that he helped me for two reasons, one was, because he wanted to help one last person before he died, and he said the second reason was because I reminded him of his daughter. He has told me that he left his family, because he didn't want them to be sad when they found out he died, so that instead of a man they loved passing away, it was one who left them without a reason. He finally passed last year, I buried him, in the area behind this house." Razi said, his eyes starting to water at the thought of the one person who ever gave him a home.
Razi quickly wiped away the coming tears, and continued to speak. " Anyway, he told me the name of his daughter, too. What was it, again?" Razi put his hand to his chin to try and remember, finally coming upon the memory he snapped his fingers. "Oh right, he said her name was Aqua."
Cyan immediatly froze, his blood running cold. Slowly, he managed to ask Razi a question that would either confirm or deny his suspicions. "Razi, what was the man's name?"
"Oh, he said it was Cobalt Matu."
Cyan's heart nearly stopped, and tears started pouring from his eyes. Cyan was sure that if he could move, he would have punched the wall.
"What's wrong, Cyan?" Razi asked, a little worried about Cyan's change in mood.
"Let's just say," Cyan said with a grimm smile, as the tears continued to fall. "That I just met my brother."
Cue shitty plot twist. Thanks to Magic Type for giving me the idea for Razi. Since this is the second to last chapter, I decided to include the story on how this all started.
It was about four months ago, and I was playing Devil Survivor Overclocked(great game by the way) in my room, when out of nowhere I got an idea.
"I wonder if I can make a RWBY character that has a sword that can turn into a suit of armor?"
After that I quickly wrote down all the ideas that were popping into my head, Cyan's semblacne, his teammates, Joker, all the while thinking. "People are going to LOVE this!"
So, yeah, I kinda misjudged on that front, but still I had fun writing this. See you next chapter, OK is out.
