So MSGV is fucking epic, if you haven't given it a shot then do it. Two words, fire whale. Enjoy.

"What exactly is it you want to try?" Ozpin asked the man standing in front of the woman he was meant to guard with his life.

Starrk was quiet as he stare at Amber's sleeping form. "My entire life, or rather as far back as I can remember, I've been alone. My power has always been far greater than others, so much greater that anyone I got close to would slowly wither under my strength. It's almost like some kind of joke, a guy who doesn't want anything to do with power is given so much of it while others spend their lives trying to achieve the same strength." Starrk said as he looked at his hand. "One day the loneliness must have become to much and I split myself into two separate beings, me and a young girl named Lilynette. Whether I was the original or her, or even some combination of the two of us I doubt I'll ever know."

Ozpin, Glynda, and Qrow all listened to the Arrancar as he spoke, while they weren't quite sure how what he was saying was related to the maiden they could tell that what he was saying was important, at least to him.

"She and I were all the other had to fight off the eternal loneliness that followed us, until a man named Aizen came along. Aizen introduced me to others like me, those who were strong enough to remain around me. Normally I don't have much of an opinion when it comes to other people, but Aizen is someone I can truly say that I hate with every fiber of my existence." Starrk clenched his fist as he said this and the three listening could feel a noticeable weight fall onto their shoulders. "He lead us into a battle and watched as we began dropping one by one against ours opponents, never once batting an eye as his subordinates were slaughtered, and never lifting a finger to help."

Ozpin could hear the anger in Starrk's voice as he told his story, he'd never heard him speak in anger in the short time he'd known him, but if this was his restrained anger from telling a story of his past then he was truly thankful for his usual calm demeanor.

"My partner Lilynette and I were fighting four opponents at once, two captains and two others who I didn't recognize. They were all extremely powerful and Lilynette and I were forced to merge back into one, you've seen what I'm talking about when I killed those nevermores, but it wasn't enough." He explained shocking those who witnessed the attack he unleashed several days ago, to imagine an enemy that could over come that level of power was truly frightening. "Lilynette and I resorted to our final attack strategy where she separated from me again and took the form of wolves, once again it wasn't enough and Lilynette ended up destroying herself, not long after that I to was defeated and killed. Or at least I thought I was killed, I woke up in this world and ever since I've felt like a piece of me was missing, a piece of my soul. She and I are the she in that regard."

Starrk looked back to Amber. "I alone among the Espada had the ability to separate and reform my soul, I want to try and create a link between my soul and hers. If successful she wouldn't be at risk of dying from this ailment she has, she would have my power to help her manage." Starrk turned to the three behind him with a look of strange confidence. "Wake her up."

"This is insane." Qrow said from his spot next to Glynda. "Not only do we not know if any of what he's saying is true, we also don't even know if this would work." He exclaimed as he pulled a flask from his shirt.

Ozpin sighed. "Unfortunately Mr. Starrk he's right. We can't allow something this risky." Ozpin told him looking disappointed.

"I'm sorry Ozpin, but this isn't your decision to make." Starrk said surprising the group as well as setting them on edge.

Ozpin narrowed his eyes. "Please explain."

"This isn't your choice, it's hers." Starrk turned back to the sleeping woman. "This process would mean more than just her survival, if it succeeds it would mean that she and I would be forever connected. She would also likely obtain longevity like me, or I might loose mine. This isn't a matter that anyone but she and I should have any say in, now..." Starrk turned back to Ozpin and this time had a look that wouldn't allow him to say no. "Wake her up."

1 hour later

Ozpin typed several more commands into the console in front of Amber's pod, there were a few beeps followed by a hiss as gas was being released from the pod. There were several minutes of silence before the pod began to open up.

Amber remained motionless as Ozpin withdrew a syringe from his coat and stepped forward towards her, he gently inserted the needle into the vain in her left arm and pushed the medicine in. "What did you give her?" Starrk asked curiously.

"It's a neutralizing agent that will get rid of the sedatives in her system, she should be waking up in a minute." He explained as he removed the needle from her arm.

"Ozpin, thank you for this." Starrk said to the headmaster getting his attention. "I'm aware that this woman is of extreme importance to you three, and I apologize for being as forceful as I was in order to get this to happen. I want you all to know this, I am your ally. You gave me a chance Ozpin, and now I'm going to repay that kindness." Starrk wasn't a man of many words so when he spoke like this it was usually important and worth hearing. "Now if I could have some privacy, this could prove dangerous for those not involved. I can't say that I'll have enough control over my spiritual pressure to keep from accidentally injuring you if you remain." Ozpin was still for a moment before nodding and turning to Qrow and Glynda.

The three left Starrk alone with Amber as she began to stir lightly, Starrk felt the three get into the elevator and begin rising up further away from him and the woman in front of him.

Amber fidgeted slightly as her eyes slowly began to crack open. "Hello?" She could just barely get out of her extremely dry throat.

"Hello." Starrk replied causing her to open her eyes quickly and try to prepare herself if she was in danger but only managed to fall out of the pod, before she hit the ground however Starrk caught her. "Calm down, your safe." He told her as she stopped struggling. "How much do you remember?" He asked wanting to know if he was gonna need to explain everything to her.

She lifted her had to her face before looking up at Starrk and taking in his appearance. "I remember a little girl on the side of the road, but it wasn't real. I was attacked and they took my power." As she said this she heaved forward and coughed up a mouth full of blood onto the floor and some on Starrk's arm.

"Your soul was violently fractured, the damage is affecting your body and it's killing you. You will die from this." He explained to the girl who was still being held up in his arms. Her face was a mixture of emotions, sadness, fear, anger, as well as acceptance. "However, there is a way to save you." He told her causing her eyes to brighten a bit. "We don't have the time for a full explanation so I'll summarize it for you, this will sound insane but your gonna have to trust me okay?"

Amber nodded weakly as her strength was already fading.

"Okay, my name is Coyote Starrk and I'm an inhuman monster from another world who can save your life by merging my soul with yours causing the two of us to become forever linked." He said all of this with a completely straight face and in a monotone voice.

Amber just stared at him for a second before she started laughing weakly causing Starrk to raise an eyebrow. "Your not very good with subtlety are you?" She smiled.

"If we do this there is a very real chance that it could kill you, it may actually kill me to, but it's the only chance you have."

Amber lost her smile. "Your a total stranger, I can't ask you to risk your life for me."

Starrk laughed quietly at the response. "I'm several hundred years old and have already died once and been reborn in a new world. I've lived a full life, if I die from doing this then I'll be fine with it." He told the woman in his arms.

She was quiet for a moment. "How will this work?" Starrk repositioned them so that his back was against the pod and her back was against his chest, Starrk then drew Los Lobos.

"This blade isn't a normal sword, it is whats known as a Zanpakuto. Imagine if what you know as a semblance was instead a blade, this sword is the literal manifestation of my soul, it's name is Los Lobos. Where I come from there are a race of beings known as Soul Reapers or Shinigami, they have the ability to transfer their power to someone else by giving them their sword and allowing them to pierce their chest and soul with it. I'm no Soul Reaper, but the concept should be the same, the only difference in this process is that I will be piercing by own soul with the blade as well. The blade should act as a link between our two souls, after that it's up to me to merge them. In order for this two work there can be no friction between us, you have to be completely willing to do this." He gave her a moment.

"What are the chances of this working?" She asked him sounding slightly nervous.

"I'm not good with numbers, but if I were to ballpark it... anywhere between forty to fifty percent. This is your choice Amber." Neither spoke for a few seconds.

"Lets do it." Starrk nodded and turned the blades tip until it was pointing at the two, Amber put her hands on the blade as well.

"If you have any final words, this might be your last chance." Starrk warned her.

"I just want to say thank you for this chance." She smiled, then Starrk brought the blade towards them and pierce their torsos.

Topside

Ozpin, Qrow, and Glynda all stood quietly within Ozpin's office waiting anxiously. It had been nearly twenty minutes since they left and were beginning to get antsy. Then the pressure hit them, everyone of them had the air instantly knocked from their lungs as an ocean of energy came crashing down upon them. The weight was worse than the time during initiation and felt less controlled as well.

It lasted for about half a minute, before finally dissipating. Nobody had to say anything, it was clear to all what had been the cause of the energy. Nothing happened for several minutes and Ozpin walked over to the elevator and called it up, however it would appear that it was already on it's way. After about two minutes there was a 'ding' and the elevator doors opened to reveal Starrk holding and unconscious Amber whose head was resting against his chest.

"What happened?" Qrow demanded from the espada.

"It worked." Starrk stated as he walked over to the couch that he usually relaxed on when he was in Ozpin's office. He laid Amber on it gently before standing back up and turning to Ozpin who had stood from his desk and was walking towards Amber. "By the way, you may need to repair the underground area we were in." Before Ozpin could respond Starrk collapsed, falling face first to the ground cracking the floor upon impact.

Ozpin quickly checked his breath and sighed in relief to find that he was still alive. "Qrow, help me with Starrk, Glynda you grab the maiden. We're taking them to Starrk's quarters. Prepare two guards to watch the door as well. We have our guardian back."

On a boat leaving Vacuo

Emerald, Mercury and a third figure garbed in white all sat in the hole of the freighter. Mercury was annoying Emerald by asking her a series of riddles he was reading off his scroll. The figure remained silent until it's head jerked up getting the twos attention.

"What's up man?" Mercury asked him slightly worried at his companions quick movement.

The figure didn't say anything before standing up and moving to a window. "It's nothing, I merely felt something familiar, but it's to far and faint to tell." The figure walked back to his spot and sat down. "Wake me when we arrive."

And there we go, I was distracted by my classmates towards the end so I apologize if it was cluncky. Tell me what you guys think in the reviews. Later.
