Pyrrha was in the auditorium next to Ruby and Yang when she felt a tap on her shoulder. Looking over she saw it was Onyx in a new set of the same clothes he had on.
"You're back, how did it go with the nurse?" Pyrrha questioned.
"It went fine, just put stitches in and took some pain pills, should be fine in a couple days" He said, purposely leaving the comment from the nurse out.
"Well that's good, ho-" Pyrrha was cut off by Ozpin.
"Good afternoon students. As you all know, we are here to officially welcome the two new teams of Beacon. Some of you may be surprised by only two new teams. Well this year I had changed the test and as a result, only eight people passed the test. With that said, will Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long please come up on stage." He announced as the four made their way to the stage.
"Ruby Rose and Miss Schnee, you two will be partners for the next four years aswell as Miss Long and Blake Belladonna. You four will make up Team RWBY, led by your leader Miss Ruby Rose." Ozpin said as Ruby's eyes widened in surprise as Yang pulled her into a bear hug.
The four girls left the stage as Ozpin had called the remaining four to the stage.
"Onyx Kanuchi, Pyrrha Nikos, Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren, you four showed tremendous teamwork. Onyx you personally showed excellent strategic thinking. Onyx and Miss Nikos you will be partners along with Nora Valkyrie and Mr Ren. I am proud to announce you four as team OPNR. You will be led by Onyx Kanuchi" Ozpin said as he gave a smile to Onyx.
Onyx being slightly surprised gave a small smile to himself as he gently grabbed his locket. Walking off the stage he was pulled aside by Ozpin.
"You know, she would be proud of you Onyx. Do not let the stress get to you, I believe you will do fine as a leader" Ozpin said with a smile.
Onyx gave him a smile back and a determined nod and waved goodbye as he ran to catch up to the rest of his new team. Walking up in between Pyrrha and Nora he caught up.
"SOOO! Mighty O'leader Onyx, what do we do now" Nora asked enthusiastically with a wide smile.
"Well I was going to suggest maybe resting for a bit more before dinner. Plus I want to check our room out" Onyx suggested.
"I agree, it would be nice to settle our things," Ren said as Pyrrha gave a small nod in agreement.
The group continued walking till they stopped in front of their dorm. Nora bursting through the door gave sight of their room. They walked in and took in what they had been offered. Two bunk beds on opposite sides of the room with one desk between them and a window behind it. The walls were light grey and they had pitch black carpet. There was one Dresser at the feet of each set of bunks and a door on the left side of the room that led into a bathroom.
Onyx walked into the bathroom and noticed a simple sink and toilet with a shower and bath mix set and a small closet. Walking out he saw Nora throw her bag on the top bunk on the right side of the room.
"Claimed! Ren! Get the one below me!" Nora exclaimed.
"Nora, you don't have to yell" Ren said calmly as he set his bag on the bed beneath her.
"Oh I know I'm just really excited to finally be here and start. What about you guys!" Nore asked happily as she looked to Onyx and Pyrrha
"Well I am glad to be here and excited as well. I hope we can do well as a team" Pyrrha said with a smile.
"Ya know, I never intended to be here. Thought I would be at home helping around the house, but life throws you curveballs ya know" Onyx solemnly. "So I hope not to waste this opportunity. I hope I can do right by you guys. I won't let you guys down" He said with a sudden change of tone of determination with Pyrrha picking up his quick mood change.
Everyone started to unpack their belongings, with Onyx being done first with the least amount of stuff being two books with plain book covers blocking the titles, two pairs of combat uniforms and a couple casual clothes. He looked around and saw Nora hanging posters and sorting out her clothes and some board games while Ren had a chess set and multiple books on Grimm and fantasy. Pyrrha Pulled out multiple books on fighting and combat and put them neatly on the desk while she took out what looked like a cleaning kit for her weapon. She sat on her bed and disassembled her weapon and started to clean it.
"Hey Ima take a nap, could you guys wake me up when dinner gets closer?" Onyx asked.
"No problemo Onyx" Nora chimed.
Onyx grabbed a change of clothes and changed in the bathroom. Returning,Pyrrha turned her head and brought her hand to her mouth as she flashed a bit of pink on her face. She tried to stifle a giggle as she observed Onyx wearing a normal grey long sleeve shirt with grey short shorts with a black cross on each thigh
"Onyx, I didn't know you liked to wear short shorts," Pyrrha said while giggling.
"They are called ranger panties or silkies thank you very much" Onyx said while crossing his arms.
With Pyrrha still giggling, Onyx walked to his bed that was above Pyrrhas and hopped up laying on his back. He put a wireless earbud in each ear and hit the play option on his scroll listening to a song called "Lilium''. He laid there closing his eyes and replaying the events of the test in his head. Feeling the exhaustion from the test finally settling in, as Onyx breathing became lighter and slower he let sleep overcome him.
"Child…." Onyx heard as he slowly opened his eyes.
Onyx looked to his right and noticed a familiar gate that led to a hill. He slowly got up feeling like his body could give out from exhaustion. He looked around and noticed he was in the same greyish lit space from the other day. He slowly walked up to the gate and put his hands around the bars to help his sluggish body. He noticed a chain around the gate entrance locking him out. He tried to break the chains to no avail. A small wisp of wind blew on Onyx which made him close his eyes. Once he opened them he saw a clump of bluish purple mist floating in front of him.
"Soon child… soon" The voice came from the mist.
The mist slowly moved towards Onyx, but disappeared as it passed through the gate.
"What the fuck are you! What do you even mean by your perplexing statements!? Why are you even in my head!?" Onyx screamed at the top of his lungs.
He got no response, just a slight breeze. He pushed off the gate and fell back, landing on his butt with his hands on his head. His breathing started to get shorter and faster. He laid down on his back controlling his breathing. He closed his eyes and fully calmed down. He felt a force pushing him onto his side, back and forth. He rolled onto his side and his eyes fluttered open.
Onyx was staring into two bright emerald green orbs. He blinked a few times and looked around the room to notice he was in his dorm room now.
"Finally, I was trying to wake you for the last minute Onyx. You were dug in like a tick. Are you okay, you started to rapidly breath frantically for a second" Pyrrha asked.
"Yea, I'm okay. Just a weird dream is all, what time is it?" Onyx asked while stretching.
"Just five till dinner, Ren and Nora left already. You wanna walk down with me?" She asked.
"Of course, let's go," Onyx said as he started walking towards the door.
"Wa-wait, you're going out in your short shorts?" Pyrrha asked with a giggle.
"Ranger panties and yes...I am. I don't really care if people laugh or whatever. These are cool and comfy." Onyx said with a small smile.
Pyrrha gave Onyx a look. She looked at his legs which were mostly exposed till right above the middle of his thighs.
'He does have the legs to pull them off, cant lie about that' She thought to herself while forming a mild blush on her face. 'What if he were to flex them, how much definition would sho-Okay stop Pyrrha thi-' Her thoughts were cut off.
"Well, ready to head out?" Onyx asked.
Pyrrha snapped out of her thoughts and gave a hesitant nod with a smile.
Onyx and Pyrrha left their room and walked for about ten minutes until they came upon the cafeteria. They quickly got in line and got their food and drinks and started to look for their teammates. Looking on, Onyx saw Nora flagging them down at a table with team RWBY. Onyx sat next to Ren and Pyrrha sat to his right. The table was silent at first as team RWBY looked at Onyx.
"What?" He asked.
Ruby started to giggle as Yang gave Onyx a seductive whistle. Blake had a small smirk while glancing from her book while Weiss refused to look at him with a little blush.
"Damn Onyx, didn't expect a dinner and a show" Yang said with a playful tone.
Onyx gave Yang a blank stare. Yang laughed as Onyx ignored her and started to eat his food, soon with everybody joining.
"So Onyx, are you doing okay, from the wound you got in the forest I mean?" Ruby asked.
"Oh, yea. The painkillers are working great. Haven't given it a clear look yet so dont know how well it's healing. Probably all good to go in a couple days."
"That's good. How did it even happen?" Yang asked.
Onyx grew a slight smirk, "Well Pyrrha here was basically left for dead. Not a weapon in sight. Cornered by a pack of Beowolfs. The end was near as a Beowolf went for the kill swipe as I jumped in and took the hit for her. Pyrrha came running to my aid, "Onyx! Are you okay" she said worried I was dead. I got up and wiped the blood from my mouth and said " I'm fine. Now time to finish this" I sprung into action. Slashing and stabbing the Grimm left and right until there were no more. I walked up to Pyrrha and picked her up and we went back to the cliff" Onyx told the story to the group.
Team RWBY started to giggle as they didn't believe the story. Onyx felt a sturdy punch to his shoulder.
"Hey, what was that for?" Onyx asked Pyrrha as he rubbed his shoulder.
"Onyx that is not what happened. You are such a dork." Pyrrha said with a light smile.
"Okay okay. I found Pyrrha and decided to help with a pack of Beowolf. While fighting something happened with my aura and allowed the Grimm to get a hit on me. We finished them off and I passed out. Pyrrha here actually helped me by giving me a decent field patch job. Nurse said she prevented any serious infection or worse from settling in '' Onyx explained.
"So it was actually her who saved your life?" Ruby asked.
"In a way, yes" Onyx said.
Everyone nodded and started to eat again. Onyx lifted his fork to his mouth, but was having trouble getting the fork in his mouth. Everytime it neared his mouth it would suddenly shift to the left or right.
"Okay what the heck, why is my fork broken!?" Onyx said annoyed.
The table began to laugh at his situation while unbeknownst to them, Pyrrha had her own smirk as she enjoyed the current situation and finished her meal with the others.
Pyrrha walked out of the bathroom taking a shower. She finished drying and brushing her hair.
"Hey Nora, Ren you seen Onyx?" She asked.
"Yea, he mentioned going to the roof a little bit after you left for the shower. Pretty sure he is still up there." Ren said.
"Okay, I'm going to check on him, it is getting late" Pyrrha said.
"Okay! Have fun!" Nora said happily.
Pyrrha wandered the halls till she found the stairs that led to the roof. She walked up and saw a door with a window. She looked through it and saw Onyx sitting at the edge of the building. She gently opened the door and walked up to him. She saw he had his fist together with his locket in them up to his face.
"Onyx?" She asked to get his attention.
"Oh, hey Pyrrha, what are you doing out here?" He asked.
"I could ask you the same thing, it's getting pretty late." She said while taking a seat next to him.
"Just enjoying the nice night tonight. As well as talking to my mom as well, updating her" He said.
"Talking to your mom? As in praying?" She questioned?
"Yea… she's not here anymore so it's my only way. You find it weird?" He asked.
"What? No no, I was just curious, is all" She said, "Did she give you that locket?" She asked.
"Yea… That reminds me, I owe you an explanation still about what happened with my eyes" He said.
"Oh yea, I was wondering about that" She said.
"If I'm going to tell you about that, then I need to tell you about the night I lost my mom because it's the same night I found out about it" Onyx said.
"Onyx you don't have to if it's unc-" She was cut off.
"No… it's okay. I haven't told anybody about it and I feel like I should and since you are my partner, I'm going to trust you and let you know" He said.
Pyrrha didn't try to argue. She was interested but more importantly she had a feeling Onyx needed to get something off his chest and she would help him even if it meant just listening to him.
"Did you ever hear about the massive storm Vale had back a couple of months ago?" He questioned.
"Yea, I saw the reports on it. It said it wiped out a small coastal village and they found no survi-" She cut herself off, 'No way is he..." She thought.
"Yea, that was my home. I had lived there my entire life with my mom" He said with a smile.
A silence overcame the two as Pyrrha processed the truth.
"It was the day of my birthday," Onyx said.
As he was finishing his 50th set of swings on his practice dummy, he checked the sky for the sun and noticed it's going to set soon.
'Shit, I'm going to be late' he thought as he started to sprint back towards his house.
He kept looking at the sun and saw it slowly descending further and further. He cut through a couple of planted fields hoping not to be seen by the owners. He started to jump and swing from tree to tree till one branch broke and he plummeted to the ground.
"Shit, that really hurt," Onyx said out loud as he got up and dusted himself off.
As he regained his composure and started to head back again, he noticed a random Crow looking towards him, as if it was watching him. He got annoyed and threw a rock at it.
"Scram you bird, get out of here!" He yelled at it as it flew off.
Finally making it to his doorstep, he got a good look at his house. A small two story house that was made from older wood that could use a new paint job. Not expensive but was affordable for him and his mother.
"I'm home mother" he yelled as he walked into his house.
Onyx saw his mother walk out of the kitchen with a bright pink apron around her waist. She smiled as she noticed him.
"Happy birthday, welcome home my wittle Oni!" She says to Onyx as she pinches his cheeks.
"Mom can you please stop calling me that, I'm 16 now and it's just really embarrassing" He said as he huffed in annoyance.
" Oh sweety, no. Get used to it" She said with a sweet playful smile as she walked up to him and kissed his forehead.
"Go wash up and come back down to the table and I'll have your present ready sweetheart" She said while smiling.
Onyx couldn't help but smile towards her, 'Her smile is so sweet and beautiful as always' He thought to himself.
" Okay mom, be right back" He said as he ran towards the bathroom upstairs.
Onyx stopped in front of a mirror and washed his face and hair. I noticed his white hair had some dirt mixed in with his purple tips. He quickly rang water over it and washed the dirt out and formed his hair to be mostly flat, barley not blocking his vision.
'I can't wait to see what she got me this year, I'm so excited, I just hope she didn't spend too much though' He thought to himself.
Onyx splashed water on his face. As he dried off he looked deeply into his own eyes. They had a pattern to them. They looked like a dodecagon, but every side was mountained out with the pattern being the color purple while the rest of his eyes were white with the pupil being black. He always wondered why they looked so abnormal.
He finished by washing his hands and headed back downstairs only to walk into a pitch dark room. Slowly stepping into the dining room he was met with someone jumping behind me.
"Surprise!" His mom jumped and screamed from behind.
"AHH!" Onyx screamed, "Dammit mom stop scaring me like that" He said.
"Onyx... do not cuss at me or so help your soul. I will make you regret it" She said in a quiet, cutsy way while having a small smile across her lips.
Onyx felt his face turn white and shivers go down his spine, "I'm sorry mom, it won't happen again, it's just in the heat of the moment when you scared me ya know?" He stammered out.
"Okay sweetheart", She said with a forgiving smile as she kissed his forehead, :Now here, put this blindfold on and have a seat, I'll be right back" His mom said as she handed him a blindfold.
Onyx put the blindfold on and sat on a chair next to the main table. He sat tapping his foot waiting for his mom to return.
"Mom, can I take it off yet?" He asked.
"No sweetheart just be patient" She said.
As Onyx was bouncing his leg repeatedly, he felt his mothers hands wrap around his neck and felt a cold metal chain being placed on him.
"Open your eyes sweety" She said with joy in her voice.
Onyx opened his eyes and noticed his mother holding a mirror in front of him. He looked at himself and noticed a silver heart shaped locket on a chain around his neck. He looked down and picked it up with his hand and looked at the amazing locket.
"It's amazing mom" He said quietly with a massive smile on his face.
"Nuh uh, open the locket up Oni" She said while hugging him from behind.
He opened the locket and saw a picture of his mom and him. In the picture his mom is smiling and hugging Onyx from the side while he was laughing in front of a waterfall. He smiled remembering it was the waterfall he found and took his mom to for her birthday earlier in the year.
"Now, what do you think of your surprise?" She asked quietly while smiling at him, waiting for him to answer.
"I love it mom, I love it so much". He said with a smile as he hugged his mother.
"I'm glad," She said as she gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Stay here Oni, I'll go get you brownies now" She said with a smile and walked off.
Onyx smiled as he sat and inspected the locket more. After a minute his mom had walked and sat the pan down in front and took her own seat. The two had conversed about recent events and how Onyx day had been.
"Mom, so there is something I have to tell you," Onyx stated.
"Oh and what is that hun?" She questioned.
"Now don't freak out, but I think I have unlocked my sembla-" He was cut off,
"WHAT!" she said, surprised with wide eyes, " You mean you actually found your semblance? What is it? When did you find it? Are you okay?" She questioned like a speeding bullet.
"I'm fine mom. Only a few cuts on my hands and other places, I found it about 3 weeks ago. I think it was when I was practicing in the woods and no, I can't tell you what it is." She sat there and sighed.
"Onyx, please be careful, I trust you, but please take your time, I'll be waiting for you to show me" She said with a caring smile.
They had talked for a few more minutes till Onyx let out a loud yawn.
"Welp I think I'm heading to bed mom; I'll see you tomorrow, love you" He said as he gave her a kiss on the cheek and walked up stairs to his room.
Closing the door, he slipped out of his clothes and got into bed. He took one last glance at the locket in his hand.
"I love you mom" He said as he held the locket in his hands and drifted off to sleep.
Onyx slipped his necklace off and handed it to Pyrrha. Pyrrha flipped open the locket and saw a smiling Onyx with a woman who looked like she was in her mid thirties. She had deep midnight purple hair and a bright smile as she hugged Onyx.
"She is very beautiful. That smile she has is infectious" Pyrrha said sweetly.
"Thanks, she would appreciate that. Probably smother you in hugs and kisses for the compliment. I love her smile. Always was able to calm me down." Onyx said with a little chuckle.
Pyrrha giggled at the thought of getting squeezed in a death hug.
"Anyway, that night I went to bed, I was woken by thunder" He started.
Onyx awoke to a loud crashing sound outside. He shot up and ran to his window to see there was a massive storm right offshore and saw the neighbor's house had been crushed by a boat that came from the ocean. He rushed downstairs looking for his mom. He ran to her room and saw she wasn't in there. He could feel his heart speed up as he started to slightly panic.
"MOM!?" He yelled hoping for her to reply.
He heard a scream outside and rushed through the door busting it down; as he did, a tree was pushed over by the wind and crushed there house.
'Holy shit, that was too close' He thought as he heard a pleading scream.
Onyx ran towards the screaming. Covering his face as the rain and wind was pelting him from all sides, he could see a silhouette of a woman trapped under some light poles. His eyes widened as he noticed it was his mother.
"Mom are you okay? How bad is it?" He quickly questioned her.
"I'm okay Onyx, but I think my leg is broken, hurry and get this pole off so we can leave" She said in a pained voice.
Onyx crouched down and was able to lift the pole off and grab her. He put her arm around his shoulder and began to move her.
"Mom, we can't just leave, what about everybody else?" Onyx asked with a sympathetic look.
"Onyx they're gone." She says sternly.
Onyx looked around and saw almost every building destroyed. He could see the piles of debris, limbs sticking out under the crushed ruble, blood stains on the ground. Onyx turned his head in anguished.
"I know it's hard Oni, but we have to go now" His mother said.
He nodded in response and started to move again. Walking for a minute Onyx set his Mom down when he noticed multiple Grimm approaching them. Onyx hardened his face as he formed what looked like a sword made a pure wind.
He slashed the sword towards one of the Beowolfs and watched as a thin gust of wind sliced through the air and cut the Beowolf in half, fading it to dust. Onyx quickly focused his eyes on the next Beowolf and dashed towards him at a high speed. He jumped as it tried to slash at him and landed on its other claw and kicked it in its chin, sending it tumbling in the air.
He formed the sword into a spear and chucked it towards the Grimm and impaled it, killing it. As he was about to focus on the last Beowolf, it slashed him across his back and sent him flying into a tree. Aura absorbing the hit, Onyx quickly recovered and focused on the last Beowolf as he noticed it encroaching on his mother.
Hatred filled his eyes as he dashed toward it; sending a gust of wind to its face. As it was disoriented, Onyx slid and swepted its leg from under itself forcing it to one knee. With the momentum of spin, he quickly hop onto its back and formed a small wind sword in each hand and with a scissor-like movement, cut its head off. Looking at his mom who was looking back at him, trembling and with a surprised face.
"Are you alright?" He asked.
She gave a simple nod and reached for him and put her arm back around his shoulder. She gave Onyx a smile..
"Is that what you were wanting to show me?" She asked.
"Yes, I seem to have the ability to manipulate wind itself and so far, I can form my own weapons and even use it as a force to push others or things away" He said tiredly, "But as you can see, I'm still new to it and it drains me pretty quick" He finished with a heavy breath.
"Well Onyx, I'm so pro-" she was cut off by a strong gust of wind and was blown away about ten feet.
"MOM!" Onyx yelled.
Multiple wooden boards impale the ground next to her. Onyx turned around and noticed the storm was basically on top of them. He looked back to his mom, then back at the storm. He closed his eyes and focused his semblance, able to feel the power of the wind around him. He focused everything into his semblance and launched it towards the storm, trying to divert it.
The winds clashed in midair and a thunderous boom was heard. Force on force as the winds danced against each other fighting for an ounce of dominance to trounce the other. Slashes of wind, sent in all directions forming the sounds of whips going off. Onyx had sweat bleeding down his face as his breath was becoming ragged. He was beginning to lose focus just as a slice of wind sliced across his right eye.
"AGHH!" He let out a cry of pain.
"Onyx!" His mother screamed in worry.
Bringing up his right hand, he covered his eye. He noticed he could still see as he felt a deep gash. He refocused his left hand on controlling the wind to continue to try and divert the storm till his eyes pulsated in pain and forced him to cover them both.
Uncovering his left eye, he could see what looked like 3 pole-like objects coming directly at him.
'Damn, I lost focus and allowed them through, I can't move in time. I'm sorry mom" He thought as he waited for impact.
He noticed a blurred object rush in front of him as the poles were about to strike. A couple seconds passed as he took in the scene before him. Seconds felt like hours as time seemed to slow for him. He felt a tear leaving his left eye.
"MOM! No No nononono, why did you jump in front of me!?"He yelled in anguish
"Because Oni, you are far too young to leave. You still have more to accomplish" She said as she coughed in between words with blood leaking out of her mouth.
She smiled as blood leaked from her mouth. He sat there with his dying mother in his hands. He looked up and noticed more Grimm approaching them.
Hatred filled his eyes as he focused and used his semblance.
"Leave. Us. ALONE!" He yelled with pure hatred and agony as a massive gust of wind was sent in all directions; blowing away everything, even the ground around them creating a 25-foot crater.
I looked towards his mom as tears leaked from his eyes.
"I knew you were special when I found you Oni, your eyes have changed. I am so proud of you sweetheart, please do not let my death hold you back, I want you to push forward. I love you Oni." She said as she coughed up blood in between words.
She pulled Onyx down to her and kissed his forehead one last time as her breaths became slower and less frequent, till she let out one last breath and stared at Onyx as her eyes lost their light.
"I love you, mom. I'm so sorry" He said inbetween sobs.
Onyx noticed that the storm had begun to move more down the coast. He gently pulled the rods out of his mom and picked her up and brought her to their old house as it lay in ruins. His head turned at the sound of multiple Bullheads coming in. They landed about 50 meters from him and noticed multiple guards coming out towards him..
"Son, are you alright? How many are left around here" He asked as he looked at the destruction.
"I'm the only one left, no one but me lived the storm" Onyx said as he clutched onto my mother.
"I see, please come with us and bring her if you like so we can give her a proper burial" The guard said gesturing him to the Bullhead.
Onyx picked his mom up and carried her to the closest bullhead and laid her on the bench.
"Can you please take me here; I will bury her there?" He asked the driver as he gave him some coordinates.
The pilot nodded after getting clearance to.
They were flying for about 10 minutes till they landed in front of the waterfall. Onyx looked at the waterfall and down to his locket. It was the same waterfall he had taken his mother to.
"Look mom, we're here" He said quietly to his resting mother.
Onyx began to dig at the base of the pond the waterfall fell into. After 30 minutes, he dug a six foot grave. He gently placed his mother into the grave and began to refill the grave. Filling the grave he placed a good sized rock at the head of the grave and carved his mothers name into it. He kneeled in front of the now finished grave silently praying. As he was praying a white haired man with a cane and glasses approached him.
"Who are you" Onyx asked
"My name is Professor Ozpin; I am gravely sorry for your loss Mr?"
"My name is Onyx, Onyx Kanuchi". He said as the man's eyes widened slightly but went back to normal.
"Well Mr. Onyx, I was wondering if you could answer a couple questions" Ozpin asked.
"Sure," Onyx said with an emotionless tone.
"First, on our way to your village, we heard a loud explosion like noise coming from the storm, do you know what happened?" He asked as he looked quizzically at him.
"It was me" He replied plainly
"What do you mean?" Ozpin asked.
"I was gathering as much wind as I could and manipulated it and threw it against the storm to try and at least divert it, to stop it from getting to her, but I wasn't able to since I haven't perfected my semblance yet. So, I don't have good enough control of it." Onyx explained with regret in his voice.
"Your semblance allows you to manipulate wind" He asked.
"Yes," Onyx said.
"Interesting. My second question is, do you have anybody else you can go to and be with, other family?" He asked.
"No, she was all I had, she found me when I was a baby and took me in. She cared for me and loved me, she… she was all I had" Onyx said as he fought tears from slipping from his eyes.
"I'll tell you what, I have a school that teaches young students to become Hunters and Huntresses, I think you would make an excellent hunter and it would give you a chance to work on your control for you semblance, we won't be accepting new students for another 3 months so how about I give you an apartment in Vale, then when the time comes, you come to Beacon?" He asked.
Onyx sat and thought about it for a minute before replying, "Okay, I'll go, just please give me 5 more minutes with my mom." He said with a sad voice.
"Of course, the bullhead will wait for you, take your time Onyx" Ozpin said as he walked to the Bullhead.
Pyrrha sat there with a sad look on her face, taking in all the information. He had just told his past to her. Trusted her with something that was obviously a serious deal to him. She smiled at the thought. She wouldn't betray that trust.
"Thank you, Onyx, for telling me," She said with a smile.
"Thank you for listening to Pyrrha… I really appreciate it. You're the first person I have told this to" Onyx said as he smiled at her and a silence overcame them for a minute.
"So you're going to guide me back to the room?" He questioned.
"What do you mean?" She asked, confused.
Onyx made a gesture with his eyes to his left hand which was being held by Pyrrhas. Pyrrha quickly released it and looked away with a tint of pink on her face.
Onyx chuckled, " Come on, it's getting late" He said as he stood up.
Pyrrha followed Onyx back to their dorm. Onyx yawned as they both entered the room. Onyx plopped onto his bed as well as Pyrrha.
"Hey Onyx, why don't you use a weapon considering using your semblance tires you out quicker?" She asked in a whisper.
"We never really could afford it. I mainly used a cruddy wooden stick for a spear and sword, but I did have a nice bow I made but that was lost that same night. Haven't really given it much thought to be honest" He explained.
"Oh, okay. Well we should sleep, don't wanna be tired for our first class tomorrow"
"Yea, night Pyrrha and thank you again" He said as he closed his eyes.
"Of Course Onyx, goodnight" She said.
Onyx drifted to sleep as Pyrrha was thinking of what Onyx just mentioned. ' Couldn't afford a weapon…' She thought.
A smile crept on her face as an idea popped in her head. She would have to give it more thought before acting on it. She closed her eyes and slowly drifted to sleep.
