Legends. Stories scattered through time. Mankind has grown quite fond of recounting the exploits of heroes and villains, forgetting so easily that we are remnants, byproducts, of a forgotten past.
Man, born from dust, was strong, wise, and resourceful, but he was born into an unforgiving world. An inevitable darkness — creatures of destruction — the creatures of Grimm- set their sights on man and all of his creations. These forces clashed, and it seemed the darkness was intent on returning man's brief existence to the void.
However, even the smallest spark of hope is enough to ignite change, and in time, man's passion, resourcefulness, and ingenuity led them to the tools that would help even the odds. This power was appropriately named Dust.
Nature's wrath in hand, man lit their way through the darkness, and in the shadow's absence came strength, civilization, and most importantly, life, life that paved the way to even greater innovation mankind sought to understand dust to understand the power they had within their grasp however some humans took this pursuit of knowledge too far and became less human than the grimm they fight against.
six years ago humans began advanced experimentation on dust attempting to figure out how it worked and how it could make humanity the true dominant species they began experimentation on grimm and in this they created nanites a new type of technology that could grant humans powers that surpassed what any semblance could give them however a mysterious accident caused the nanites to get out infecting the entire population of remnant.
the government has since covered this story up to keep the population from turning against them however they could not silence their mistakes and many humans have been changed by this event becoming something far from human evos no matter what they tried they could not cure these people, that was until one very special boy came along.
-PRESENT-
Atlas, the city in the sky. The city of progress and technology. The main military state of Remnant. Where even the citizens are armed better than the other Kingdoms military, and airships fill the skies.
a massive two faced beast rampaged through the streets, destroying any buildings that got in its way. Even the citizens of Atlas were running for their lives. The military could do little but try to take it out with heavy attacks but that did nothing more than piss the creature off as it plowed through buildings like a like a line backer on crystal meth.
The beast was able to move quickly, and each stomp it made to destroy buildings only made it move faster. People were running for their lives, and the military couldn't get a clear enough shot at it to kill it.
a boy watched all of this chaos through his binoculars as he ate a burger the boy seemed to be around sixteen years old with lightly spiked, slicked back dark hair. he sports a pair of orange goggles on top of his head, with a matching red-orange patterned jacket. His T-shirt is blue on the top-half and white on the bottom-half, with two orange rectangles on the left pectoral as well as black pants with blue geometrical patterns.
The boy had a perfect view of chaos that was happening in Atlas. The military trying to kill the creature that was stomping through the city, to no avail. Civilians running for their lives, as buildings were collapsing left and right nothing could stop it.
well looks like its time to play the hero again the boy said with a shit eating grin on his face as he took the binoculars off his face he jumped off the building he was standing on his jacket blowing in the wind magnificently as orange machinery began forming on his back twisting and moving to create two giant orange mechanical wings that bore giant turbines at the end of them that pushed the teen higher into the air allowing him to take off flying straight towards the monster.
as soon as the teen neared the beast noticed it noticed him, and without thinking, lashed out to try to slap him out of the air. It was moving as fast as it could manage for a creature as big as itself.
but it still wasnt enough as the teen maneuvered through the beasts fingers with ease and flew directly up to its face before the wings on his back began to morph right back onto his skin before slithering across it and collecting on his arms to form massive orange gauntlets that he then used to punch the creature right in the face sending it straight into the floor
the beast was out unconscious on the ground as the boy began falling onto it only to quickly transition back to his wings that allowed him to land perfectly on the beasts body.
the atlesian military quickly sent in one of their agents atop of the creatures body as he used his semblance to create a giant black forcefield that blocked sight from outside leaving only him and the teen inside of it.
Most of the civilians were afraid to get anywhere near the unconscious creature. They had seen it destroy so much, but now they couldn't see anything happening. The military kept people back, not letting the civilians get close to it or letting them see what would come out of it.
inside the bubble the teen placed his hands on the massive creatures face and began concentrating
bright white lines began spreading throughout the monsters body starting from its face going down to its legs
moments later a bright blinding light flashed throughout the bubble as the gargantuant hulking two faced monster was turned back into a human
whew my job here is done the teen said as he was layed out on the ground exhausted from the curing proccess "this might be the most exhaustion ive ever felt curing one of these evos" he joked to himself as the agent didnt seem to care but he was used to that this was just another normal day for him.
a small human sized hole in the field was opened allowing for a tall and fair-skinned young woman to enter through, she wore long white hair with blue eyes and black eyebrows Her outfit consists of a white long-sleeved coat with a single dark blue clasp around the center waist holding it shut alongside a red jeweled brooch on the collar. The coat's length runs down to her ankles and the sleeves are split from shoulder to elbow.
The teenage boy that was on the floor turned his head to see the white haired girl in front of him. He took a deep sigh before letting out a weak chuckle
"Hey beautiful, whats up?" he joked, still drained from curing the EVO
the white haired woman ignored him and walked past him towards the man who was previously the giant monster and placed a hand on his chest " hes breathing" she said in a stoic voice
the teenage boy got up back to his feet as the woman walked over to the man
"Another one cured another one saved hurray for team providence" he replied, stretching as he felt pretty drained still. He was always exhausted and hungry after curing an EVO, it took a bit of work and his power never liked to do things in moderation
you were reckless rex it could have fallen on a civilian she chastised instead of praising him
"And it didnt" Rex replied, putting his goggles back on as he looked over at her "Besides, its done, no one was hurt, and we saved a person, seems like a pretty good day to me" he said in a cocky tone still having that grin on his face
you just need to chill out winter maybe take a vacation oh i know a great coffee nearby place rex said
Rex just chuckled as he was just ignored by winter. Though his smile grew when he thought about a coffee. He was always more relaxed during a cup of coffee.
"A coffee is always a great way to unwind" he said with a smile in his voice. "But how about we get lunch first and you treat me as a thank you, you know since i continue to be awesome" he said cheekily to winter, obviously being sarcastic
winter simply walked past him with the man hefted over her shoulders "get back to the airship" she said simply leaving no room for argument
"Yes ma'am" Rex replied with a playful chuckle, even though winter was being serious Rex always liked to have some fun. He took a deep sigh as he walked after winter, heading for the bullhead. His stomach growled as he did so, Rex hadn't eaten all day yet
Rex made his way onto the airship, looking around at all the military personnel on board. He leaned against a wall, his stomach still growling. He had been too busy with the EVO to even think about food. As they began to take off his eyes turned to see winter with the man hefted over her shoulder
so what are you gonna tell the public rex asked he had been well aware of the nanite event six years he was also aware that civilians werent allowed to know about evos so everytime one of them couldnt be taken down and cured silently he had always asked the question of "well how are you gonna cover it up this time" cause it was always fun to see how they lie themselves out of trouble
"new species of grimm that adapted to the harsh conditions of the continentter said as if she had practiced dozens of times "ah blaming the grimm again huh i swear to god ive heard you say that exact line like five different times now" rex said with mock annoyance in his tone "yes well it is the most reasonable excuse and the one thats least likely to get people asking questions" winter explained like she was tired of having to say those words again. "yeah but i mean come on i know you guys can come up with something original"
"how about an alien invasion" Rex joked "a new weapon created by some company here in atlas" he joked again, getting a glare from winter "ok ok" he said as he stopped spouting suggestions of how the military could explain the events that he had cured to the public
rex took a seat as he turned to winter "so how about that lunch you said you'd get me?" he said jokingly to winter in hopes of finally getting some food
go back to your room she said as she walked off somewhere with the man most likely to get him back to his home before anyone noticed he was gone.
Rex just sighed as winter walked away "not even a slice of bread" he groaned to himself, his stomach still growling. He then stood up and started heading to his room. His shoes clinking against the metal floor as he walked.
"hey Bobo" Rex greeted, as he caught the pair of shorts that got thrown in his direction, he wasn't surprised to see his friend Bobo at all. See bobo was a monkey who got turned into an evo after the nanite event. The two of them were close to inseparable and it would usually surprise people when they found out Bobo could talk.
"lemme guess ironwood beat you in poker, again" asked rex although it was less of a question and more of a statement
"I swear to you he's cheating somehow." bobo explained, he was always the best when it came to poker or gambling of any sort, so the fact that he was constantly losing to ironwood kinda made him feel bitter "im never letting that guy shuffle the deck again"
"oh yeah that reminds me where is he now" rex asked "i havent seen him since i got here" rex said since usually ironwood was the one who would greet him while he was curing an evo
"I dont know he said something about talking to a nephew i dont know i didnt care enough to listen in" said bobo who was still salty about losing.
"woah ironwood has a nephew? jeez i kinda feel bad for the poor kid"rex said mockingly
Rex's head turned to the hallway as he heard something outside his door. He had gotten used to the sounds of this ship and knew it wasn't normal.
yo bobo you hear that
"Hear what" Bobo replied, completely ignorant of the noise in the hall
thats what im gonna go figure out you stay in here
"i dont think so" Bobo said getting up as well to follow Rex but not before getting his guns
Rex stepped outside the room and into the long metal hallways of the ship, his eyes immediately began scanning the area looking for what made the noise he heard.
his steps echoed through the halls of the ship as he slowly walked, looking for the source. It was a bit hard to tell but he thought he heard noises, faint voices perhaps from just around the corner of the hallway
He turned the corner and entered the new hallway. There was a good chance that he had imagined the voices and maybe the noise as well. But he continued down the hallway anyways. Still keeping an ear out for any further noises or voices
soon he stumble upon two people in robes neither of them noticed him or bobo as they hid behind a corner to listen in
Rex raised an eyebrow, confused at what exactly was going on. He took a quick glance at Bobo, who also seemed confused. He then turned his attention back to the people. He tried to hear what they were saying
"that is not what we came hear to do, we had a simple mission get in destroy the cure get out i doubt those orders are very difficult to follow" said the much taller figure in a monotone voice clearlry agitated "oh come on you cant tell me it wouldnt be satisfying to kill him right now it wouldnt interfere with the mission and besides i waas simply ordered to follow you not to help you" said the shorter one in an unhinged voice very clearly not mentally stable.
rex tried to get a good look at the faces of the two people in front of him, not having seen their faces yet. He kept listening to what they were saying, it sounded like they wanted to kill something. That's all he really caught on to but there was a lot said to process. As he looked back at bobo, he could see the look of confusion on his face too. He had no clue who these people were or what they came to do
"you two behind the corner tell me wouldnt it be better to just kill him now" the unhinged man asked revealing their location to the taller figure who snarled at them
Rex's eyes widened as he heard the crazed man in front of him speak. He thought for a second to himself before stepping into view. A smug smirk on his face "well, depends on who your talking about." he said in a bit of a mocking tone
"why did you not inform me that we were being spied on" the taller one asked the shorter one very clearly angry "oh my with how much you pride yourself on your tracking skills i wouldve thought for sure you wouldve found them before me" the unhinged figure said mockingly causing the taller one to snarl at him before turning back to rex and bobo ready to pounce
Rex didn't even flinch or react to the taller one being ready to attack them. He stood there watching what was going on with a smug smirk on his face. "So are you like some kind of crazy cult or something." he joked knowing it was only going to anger them more. He stood there calm and cool, clearly not scared of their threats or actions
the taller one rushed at him but rex dodged to the side manifesting the big fists from earlier to punch him in the side throwing him into the wall . He let out a cocky chuckle as he looked over at the cultist that he had just hit. He was completely unfazed and in fact his cocky confidence seemed to grow as he stood there. "Well, that was the dumbest thing you could have done." he said smirking widely and mockingly
as he said that the unhinged one swiped at his neck with his weapon a pair folding blades attached to bracers on the mans arm but luckily bobo was quick enough to shoot the man before he could cut rex
Rex continued to stand there, now he had a cocky smirk on his face as well as being highly amused at the fact that these cultists seemed to think they could even scratch him let alone harm him. He didn't even bat an eye at the strike that was made before it got interrupted, he just chuckled like it was nothing. "Well, that's a shame, your not even strong enough to harm me." he mockingly taunted them, trying to bait them further into attacking
"hmph your arrogance is undeserved" said the bigger of the two as he got out of the crater on the wall that rex had slammed him into his cloak falling to reveal an evo with a mainly mechanical top heavy body with long lanky white biological arms with blotches dotting them at random locations, each arm held five seperate long sharp claws aand it had incredibly long white hair looking uncannily like a wolf.
Rex looked on, his cocky smirk unwavering as he saw the man stand up. As his cloak fell to the ground, he saw the evos true form and wasn't even surprised. He had seen stranger evos so he wasn't shocked in the slightest "Is that all you got?" he taunted, baiting the man to attack him again
Rex was sent flying back, hitting the wall behind him with a loud thud. He grunted a bit as he hit the wall but quickly gained his composure and stood up. He looked over at the larger of the evos who attacked him, a cocky smirk on his face, seemingly unfazed by the attack. "Come on guys, can't you hit me a little harder, im getting bored just standing here." he said tauntingly, baiting the man to attack him again
Rex dodged out of the way of the first slash, the cut in the wall that the slash produced surprised him a little, but he was fine. A cocky smirk appeared on his face as he continued to taunt them. "Is that all you got?" he said in a mocking tone. As the second slash of the tall guy came toward him, he tripped and fell on his ass, not having expected the slash to come so suddenly
Rex rolled out of the way just in time to avoid being stomped on by the creature. As he got up, he attempted to sweep kick the creature, but it jumped over the sweep, and promptly stomped on his leg, causing him to grunt in pain.
As the creature attempted to slash at him, Rex quickly blocked the attack with his big fists. He was beginning to get excited, he was clearly enjoying this.
Rex attempted to punch the creature, knowing full well that it wouldn't hit. He just needed to get it off his injured leg. As it jumped over his fist, Rex was suddenly hit in the face with a kick and was launched back a few feet. He hit the wall with a thud and slid down it. He groaned in pain and touched his face which now had a large bruise covering most of it
As the creature tried to punch him, he quickly dodged it. The creature's hand got stuck in the wall, leaving Rex to catch his breath a bit. He stood there, slightly dazed as he waited to see what the creature would do next
Just as he seemed to be catching his breath, he heard a noise behind him which caused him to quickly dodge to the side in order to avoid the attack that would have struck him. As he dodged, he looked over to see that it was the unhinged man that struck at him. He scoffed a bit "really?" he said in a mocking tone
bobo quickly jumped onto rex's side "sorry kid hes fast" was all bobo said
Rex groaned a bit, still slightly dazed after being slammed into the wall. He got up and looked up at Bobo before speaking "Yeah, no kidding." he said, his cocky attitude now slightly diminished after being surprised like that
Rex stood there looking at the man in front of him, he had a somewhat surprised look on his face. He was somewhat taken aback by the fact that the unhinged man in front of him was not an Evo himself considering that he was working with one.
"Well, that makes you a bit of a surprise then." Rex responded, his surprise fading slightly. He looked from the man to the evo. He was now intrigued by the two of them. He had seen many crazy things, but a man working with an Evo like this, it was rare and somewhat shocking to say in the least. Rex was never one to avoid asking questions, so he spoke "So who are you two anyway?"
"ha do you really believe that we would- my name is tyrian callows and my friend here is biowulf"introduced the now named tyrian cutting off his partners words
"Well Tyrian, a pleasure." Rex said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone. He looked over at Biowulf, the Evo, briefly before speaking again. "I assume that you two have a goal of some kind." he asked, still curious about this unlikely pair
the now named biowulf gave tyrian a look before saying "dont you dare" but tyrian who clearly didnt care for his partners mission decided to reveal the goal most likely just to piss off his partner" we obtained information that told us the atlesian mylitary had a way to cure evos we have come to find that cure and destroy it" tyrian said giving biowulf a look the entire time because he knew the big brute wouldnt attack him he was too loyal to his master to do that.
rex quickly realized that he was this cure that they were talking about as to his knowledge he was the only thing on the planet capable of curing evos and judging by the fact that they didn't mention his name or describe him, it was very likely that they had no idea that he was the cure they were searching for.
"now if you dont mind this big brute has a mission to get to so i would appreciate it if you could please, die for me" tyrian said as his voice turned 50 shades of psychotic. rex didn't have much time to proccess what he had just heard as Tyrian suddenly lunged at him and began slashing at him with his blades. Rex barely managed to dodge the attacks, his senses heightened and adrenaline pumping as he tried to stay one step ahead of Tyrian's relentless attacks
Tyrian quickly kneed Rex in the stomach, taking him off guard. Rex stumbled backwards, grunting in pain, but quickly regained his composure and tried to swing at Tyrian, but he managed to dodge the attack with ease and landed a blow to Rex's gut, causing him to double over in pain. Rex groaned in pain, realizing that he was in for a fight
Rex was still dazed from the previous attack when Tyrian suddenly struck again. He kicked him in the face, sending him sliding across the floor, and before Rex had a chance to react he found himself on the ground as his legs were suddenly kicked out from under him. Before he could even process what was happening, Tyrian kneed him in the face causing Rex's head to snap back
"what happened to all that bravado from a moment ago kid?"As he lay dazed and stunned on the ground, Rex heard Tyrian's mocking question. He was slowly regaining his composure, but the blow to his face had done a number on him. He gritted his teeth, trying to ignore the pain, as he spoke in a strained voice. "Don't underestimate me." Rex responded. Tyrian just chuckled before delivering a final kick to his stomach
"ha this was fun and all kid but i dont have all day so im just gonna kill you now" As Rex lay there, dazed and in pain, he heard Tyrian's words and felt his hand grasp his collar, lifting him up to his feet. He saw Tyrian's weapon being raised and knew he was about to be stabbed. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a shot rang out causing Tyrian to flinch and drop Rex back to the ground. Looking up, Rex saw bobo standing there, the smoking barrel of his gun pointed towards Tyrian who had been shot in the face.
Rex lay on the floor, his mind racing a mile a minute as he tried to process what had just happened. He looked up at Bobo, grateful for the sudden save. "Thanks" he said, his voice still strained as he struggled to catch his breath
my god that actually hurt you bastard" tyrian said in an unhinged maniacal voice that seemed to be filled with nothing but pure unadulterated ecstasy."hahahahhahahahahahahahahaha" tyrian let out a psychotic cackle with his head raised to the sky
Rex watched in slight terror as Tyrian started laughing madly after being shot in the face. It was clear that this man was completely unhinged and seemed to have a twisted enjoyment in this situation. Rex struggled to stand up, still in pain from the beating he had taken, but managed to get up and stand next to Bobo.
Bobo seemed just as stunned and confused as Rex was, shaking his head and muttering "Psycho..." under his breath. Rex still stood there, his body aching from the beating he had just taken, as he watched Tyrian continue to laugh and cackle like a madman
Rex nodded his head slowly in agreement. He had never met someone so utterly insane and unphased by being shot in the face. It was clear that this "Tyrian" individual was a few cards short of a full deck.
ha tyrian looked back at the two "i will enjoy watching you bleed" tyrian said ooking at them with eyes that had not a shred of sanity in them his voice was incrediblly unhinged and it sounded like he was saying those words while still giving out breathy cacky
Rex looked at Tyrian, noticing the utter lack of sanity in his eyes. He shuddered at the sight, his fight or flight response kicking in as he prepared himself for another attack. Rex was still feeling the pain from the previous blows, but he wasn't going to go down without a fight
In a sudden burst of adrenaline, Rex brought his hands up, and nanites quicklybegan to compound into his arm transforming his right arm into a large orange metallic sword. He quickly blocked Tyrian's lunge attack, the two weapons clashing with a loud metallic clang." Tyrian callows allow me to introduce to you, the BFS stands for BIG FAT SWORD"said rex
he pushed tyrian away before slashing at tyrian which was dodged followed by another strike from tyrian that got blocked as rex attempted to kick tyrian he blocked it with his knee tyrian then attempted to headbut rex but rex headbutted him first then kicked tyrian backwards as rex then jumped at tyrian to deliver the finishing blow.
suddenly out of his hair came a large scorpion like stinger He quickly brought up his sword to block the incoming attack. Rex tried to push Tyrian back, creating some distance between them, but the stinger proved to be a formidable weapon. Rex knew he had to be cautious and find an opportunity to strike back effectively
Rex quickly took advantage of the brief pause in the battle to make small talk, trying to catch his breath while also looking for an opening between Tyrian's attacks. "So, you're a Faunus, huh?" he said, and based on the appearance of Tyrian's scorpion-like tail, he assumed the stinger might also be venomous. "I assume it's poisonous?" Rex asked, hoping to gather more information that could help him in the fight
"why yes would you like to test its efficacy" Rex raised his sword defensively, his face revealing the skepticism he felt at Tyrian's offer. "I'm not particularly inclined to become a lab rat no," he replied with a hint of defiance in his voice.
oh but your friend there seems the perfect type tyrian said as he raised the stinger to strike at bobo
Rex quickly realized the threat that Tyrian posed to his friend Bobo, and without hesitation, he acted. He stepped between Bobo and Tyrian, he didnt have the time to pull up his sword and he knew he couldnt block it so he just assumed he was going to die as the stinger reached mere inches from his stomach.
Just as Rex was about to accept his fate, a gunshot rang out, and Tyrian collapsed, clutching his injured eye. Rex was stunned for a moment, realizing that he had been saved at the last possible instant. He looked around, trying to find the source of the shot, and eventually saw Winter holding a gun.
"Nice shot," Rex praised, his voice filled with a mixture of relief and gratitude. Winter shrugged, holstering her weapon. "I had an easy target," she replied coolly before looking him over "youre fine." she said matter of factly
Rex nodded, his gaze still lingering on the downed Tyrian. "Yeah, I guess I am," he said, wincing as he rubbed his bruised and sore muscles. "Thanks for the save, Winter. I thought I was a goner there."
do you know who he is?
Rex winced as he tried to stand up straight, his muscles still aching from the fight. "Uh yeah said his name is tyrian callows his friend whos stuck in the wall over there is biowulf." he waved as it snarled at him He then turned his attention to Tyrian, his who was still lying wounded on the ground. "it seems like they are a part of some kind of organization, and they figured out that we could cure evo's
"They're not entirely wrong," Rex added reluctantly, "But it's far more complicated than they know." He said making sure to watch his words around the wolf evo before he glanced at Winter, trying to gauge her reaction to the new information
Rex nodded in agreement with Winter's command. "Got it," he said, his mind already going through the logistics of how he was going to accomplish that task. He looked around, spotting a few nearby soldiers who could help him. "Hey, could you give me a hand with these two?" Rex asked, gesturing towards Tyrian who was still incapacitated on the ground and biowulf who well... they could figure that out later.

Rex asked, gesturing towards Tyrian who was still incapacitated on the ground and biowulf who well... they could figure that out later.
"hey that dinner option is still on the table you know" rex said but winter ignored his advances
Rex couldn't help but chuckle at his own poor attempt at flirting, his usual cocky demeanor resurfacing for a moment before Winter quickly dismissed his advance with a cold glare. He shrugged it off, knowing better than to push his luck with her. "Worth a shot," he said with a small smile, already moving on to the task at hand of dealing with Tyrian and biowulf.
"What the hell?" Rex exclaimed, taken completely by surprise as a mysterious man in a black skull mask suddenly appeared out of nowhere grabbed Tyrian and biowulf and teleported away in a puff of black smoke before he could even react. He stood there for a moment, trying to process what had just happened.
He shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts. "Did that just happen?" he muttered to himself before turning to look at Winter, who was also looking just as confused as him. "You saw that too right?" he asked, his voice still sounding slightly dazed.
Winter nodded, her expression a mix of bewilderment and irritation. "I saw it, all right. Who the hell was that?" she asked, her eyes scanning the area where the masked man had disappeared, as if expecting him to reappear at any moment.
"I have no idea," Rex admitted, still trying to wrap his head around the situation. "But I have a feeling we're in over our heads here," he said, his eyes narrowing as he glanced at the empty spot where the masked man had been. He couldn't shake the feeling that something much larger was at play here, and they were just getting a glimpse of it.
Rex sat in Ironwood's office, his thoughts still reeling from the recent encounter. He fidgeted anxiously, waiting to hear what the General had to say.
so rex as you know you havent undergone any schooling due to your 'special circumstances'
Rex nodded, his curiosity piqued by the unexpected turn the conversation was taking. "Yeah, I'm aware," he replied, unsure of where Ironwood was going with this.
well what if i told you you werent the only child your age with special circumstances
Rex's interest was definitely aroused now. "Alright, I'm listening," he said, leaning forward in his seat, his eyes focused on Ironwood.
well not the exact same circumstances but special nonetheless kids who cant have proper schooling due to their special circumstances or responsibilities or power basically kids like you
Rex nodded, beginning to see where Ironwood was going with this. "Yeah i get it what are you implying here ironwood," he said, a small smile tugging at the edge of his lips. He found a strange comfort in knowing that there were others like him, experiencing similar challenges.
okay lets make this quick and easy.
Rex whipped his head around at the sudden noise of the door bursting open, and his eyes widened in surprise as he recognized the voice that spoke from behind it. "Wait, is that-how would you like to attend beacon academy mr salazar?" interrupted ozpin as he walked out of the shadows
Rex was left speechless for a moment, his eyes darting between Ironwood and Ozpin in disbelief. "Wait, you're serious?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper. Attending Beacon Academy had never even crossed his mind as a thing that he could do.
yes you see weve practically been collecting students with special circumstances today much like yourself. ozpin explained
Rex's mind was still reeling from the bombshell that had just been dropped on him. "So, you're saying you want me to just go to Beacon Academy? Just like that?" he asked, still trying to process the idea.
yes
"You make it sound so simple," Rex said with a small smile, his initial shock beginning to wear off and being replaced with excitement. "But what about the other stuff i need to do what if another evo shows up?" he asked, concerned about how attending Beacon would fit in with his current life.
weve figured that out already
"but arent i a little too young to enter beacon" rex asked "im only 16 im not old enough to join".
child i have made four exceptions to that rule 'TONIGHT' i dont think one more exception is really gonna matter all that much
Rex was taken aback by Ozpin's casual disregard for the age rule. "So you're just going to make an exception for me just like that?" he asked, raising an eyebrow in skepticism. He couldn't help but feel a little skeptical about being allowed to attend Beacon at such a young age. After all, most students were at least 17 before they even applied to attend.
yes
Rex couldn't believe his luck. "Well shit im in." he muttered mostly to himself. "So, when do I start?'
"right now" ozpin said as he clicked a button on his cane that caused the seat that rex was sitting on to fly out of the office through the roof.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
"couldnt you have just taken him there like a normal person?"asks ironwood
yes
