RWBY: Innocence

Vengeance Personified

It had been three weeks ever since Kenzo disappeared. As soon as this was discovered, Ozpin sent out thousands of soldiers in a desperate attempt to bring back his Nephew. Soldiers scoured the land as they searched for their target, but none prevailed. Ozpin fell into a deep depression and spent most of his days inside his office, pacing back and forth and waiting for a response from the Soldiers. Yang feared for Kenzo's safety just as much as Ozpin did, but she knew that Kenzo would be okay.

During those three weeks of living out isolated in the wild, Kenzo had a lot of time to think about the events that had transpired at Beacon. The more he thought about it, the more he realised that Ozpin really did care about him and was only doing his best to protect him. Because of this epiphany, Kenzo spent nearly all of his time exercising and building up his strength to further better himself, surviving on fruit from the trees and running water from a nearby river. After one week of thinking and two weeks of training, Kenzo finally mustered up the courage to return to Beacon and travelled to his old home, now sporting a very short stubble.

"I've missed this place..." Kenzo mused as he entered the grounds.

It was hard to admit, but Kenzo had missed his old home. He missed his roommates, Miss Goodwitch, Professor Port, Ozpin and most of all, Yang. After having two weeks of living alone, Kenzo was finally ready to go home. But just as he was walking towards the massive school building:

"RUN!"

Kenzo looked to the left and saw the stampede of students running towards him. They looked absolutely terrified, as if they were running away from something. He then heard the roaring and screeching sounds and realized what was happening.

"GRIMM!" Kenzo screamed in horror as he joined the students in fleeing from the massive pack of Beowolves.

As Kenzo fled from the Grimm, he saw more students in front of him, battling other Grimm on a nearby field. Scanning the field, Kenzo spotted a crowd of students being guarded by Soldiers. Kenzo was about to run towards the group when:

"Kenzo- OW!"

Time slowed down for Kenzo as he saw the horrifying event laid before him. Yang was falling to the floor as an Ursa knocked her off her feet. Her ankle was in a terrible condition and she looked as if she was in a great amount of pain.

"Yang..."

Something began to build up inside of Kenzo. It was a feeling that he recognized, but not in this form. His eyes felt as if they were burning and his whole body tensed up. As his entire body began to shake, Kenzo fell to his knees as other students rushed past him. Kenzo's teeth were clenched tightly as he began to growl. Everything within him felt as if it was about to explode. Then, the unthinkable happened.

Kenzo leaned back and let out a deafening roar of rage as the ground around him began to quake violently. The other students and Grimm stopped fighting and turned their heads to see what was happening. Kenzo continued to roar furiously as his skin began to darken into a Pitch-Black. As soon as his entire body was completely Black, Kenzo's roaring turned into screams of agony. An ominous mist began to appear around him as loud cracking noises emitted from within his body. Then, he was silent for a moment as the ground began to quake harder. Then he let out a roar of pure, unfiltered rage as Kenzo was lost in the mist...

"Oh...My...God..." Yang whispered as the mist began to disappear.

Standing where Kenzo once stood was a tall man with Pitch-Black skin. His Black hair was wild and unkempt, but what truly stood out the most were the bones. Shiny White bones were covered across his entire body. A Rib cage covered his chest, a Spinal bone stretched up from his back to his neck, Arm and Leg bones covered his arms and legs, a Hip bone was wrapped around his hips and the front of a Skull covered his face. A pair of Crimson-Red eyes gleamed out from within the holes in the Skull. It looked like a monster from a child's dreams...

"What the Hell happened here!?"

The man glared towards the source of the voice. Standing ten feet away from him was a huge robotic suit, armed to the teeth with guns. Sitting in the cockpit was a man with a Black hat and White suit, Ginger hair that was swept over his right eye and a villainous smile on his face.

"Roman Torchwick!" Ozpin shouted, "I thought I had you locked up!?"

Roman laughed mockingly at Ozpin and shook his head.

"Nothing a little lock-picking can't handle!" He shouted back.

Roman then turned his attention back to Kenzo.

"Now, I lead these Grimm here and you showed up..." He muttered.

The man then started growling viciously at Roman. The sound was loud and haunting, making everyone around him shiver with fear.

"What the Hell are you?" Roman asked.

The man didn't respond.

"I said, what the Hell-"

Just before Roman could finish, the man opened his mouth and a thick, Black sludge poured out of his mouth like a putrid waterfall and splattered across the floor, creating a disgusting pool of sludge. Everyone groaned with disgust and one student vomited. Roman tutted with disgust at this appalling act and rubbed his forehead.

"It isn't polite to spit..."

The man then looked at the surrounding Grimm and started growling again, but much louder and more viciously. The Beowolves began howling, the Ursa began to roar, the Boarbatusk began to squeal and the Nevermore began to screech. The noise was so horrendous that most of the students began to cover their ears. The Ursa that was close to Yang left her to join it's pack in growling at Kenzo, when something momentous happened.

The man let out a roar that drowned out the threatening sounds of the army of Grimm. It was piercing, loud and frightening. The Grimm ceased their horrifying sounds and watched in awe along with the other students. Ozpin stared at his Nephew in horror whilst Yang gawked at the roaring monstrosity that Kenzo had become. The man continued to roar furiously whilst everyone watched him.

And then in a quick motion, he pounced...
