The Phantom Of Remnant

With a bitter smile on his face, Magna silently thought, "I can"t believe I met one of Cinder"s future team mates…"

With mint green hair and beautiful tanned skin, Magna knew he had somehow stumbled upon the younger version of Emerald Sustrai.

Her face silently cried tears as her expression was a mix between fear and panic. Magna could feel how she subconsciously curled into a ball to feel even the slightest bit of safety.

Rage began building inside Magna yet he pushed it down deep as he softly caressed her head and gently whispered in her ear, "It"s okay now. Your safe. Just rest."

It"s might have been his whispering or something else completely but Emerald"s expression loosened as she calmly started to relax.

With a smile, Magna continued towards his house. Once he arrived, the twins were about to ask why he ditched them when they saw the girl in his arms and froze.

Magna quietly motion for them to follow him as he walked inside. As he thought, the moment he walked in with an unconscious girl in his arms, his parents demanded an explanation.

After he quickly explained why he brought her with him, Emily had a wide smile on her face as she muttered, "That"s my boy…" while Joshua heavily patted Magna"s shoulder with a hearty smile plastered on his face.

However, the movement seemed to wake Emerald up as she slowly opened her eyes. Instantly, she started crying and flailing about. Before anyone could react, Magna softly embraced Emerald while allowing her to attack him.

As time pasted, Emerald seemed to realise that Magna meant her no harm as her a.s.sault slowly came to a stop. Letting her go, Magna softly smiled as he said, "Don"t worry, your safe now."

Emerald studied Magna"s face as his gentle smile slowly calmed her down. Magna placed her on a nearby chair as he cautiously asked, "If your don"t mind, can you please tell me your name?"

"E-Emerald, my name is Emerald Sustrai." Stuttered Emerald as a small blush appeared on her face.

"OK, Emerald. Could you explain why those… "things" from before were calling you a theif?"

Magna"s words seemed to bring up a bad memory as she started curling up while shivering. Magna instantly reacted as he softly embraced her while gently caressing her back.

After a couple minutes she calmed down enough to start explain. She told him how her parents were killed in a grimm and that she became an orphan. With nothing left to her name, Emerald had no choice but to steal to survive as no one even tried to adopt her. Then she told him that when she was trying to steal something to eat, those men from before caught and started beating her.

"…If you hadn"t of come by, I probably would"ve been…"

Emerald burst into tears as she tightly clung to Magna. Seeing this young girl who could only steal to survive, crying into his shoulder, Magna silently buried his rage as he gently returned her embrace.

Suddenly, more pairs of hands appeared around Magna and Emerald as the twins and his parents hugged both Magna and Emerald.

After 10 minutes, Emerald cried herself to sleep. Magna instantly stood up and ran to the door only to be blocked by his father.

Joshua stared directly into Magna"s eyes as he asked, "Where are you going?"

Magna didn"t beat around the bush as he directly stated, "I"m going to do what I should have done."

Unknowningly, Magna"s eyes had turned completely crimson as a huge amount of killing intent oozed out from his body.

Yet Joshua didn"t move from his spot as he calmly said, "And who will that help?"

His question seemed to have stumped Magna as the killing intent oozing out of him slowly started to receed.

"Magna, I know your angry but killing someone won"t solve the problem. Just imagine what Emerald would think when she hears you killed people for her. Will she be happy?"

Magna didn"t know what to do. Inside he had so much bottled rage but he had no outlet. Seeing that Magna didn"t refute him, Joshua suddenly smiled and said, "Good. You still have a calm head. Let"s go out and hunt for some food. We have another mouth to feed."

Magna couldn"t even deny him as Joshua picked him up by his shirt and quickly ran off into the forest.

After a couple hours, both Magna and Joshua were resting in the forest on the way home. Magna was actually feeling really refreshed as he got to unleash all the rage he bottle up.

However, he also realise something. Ever since awakening the demon fox cloak, he"s been easy to anger. Luckily, Joshua managed to calm Magna down with hunting or else he would have never realised.

This is actually a down side to his semblance. Because he wasn"t raised the same way as Naruto or how he doesn"t have Naruto"s bloodline or mental fort.i.tude, Magna can"t handle the malice from the kyuubi. Even though the kyuubi inside Magna is only a memory, the memory also contains all the urges Kurama used to influence Naruto. This allowed Magna to realise that there could be abilities that affect him.

Thanks to realising this, Magna actually calmed down pretty fast. When the pair would rest before continuing to hunt, Magna would spend time trying to increase his influence over his aura and the white speck.

This helped to draw back the anger he was experiencing, causing him to calm down quickly. After feeling better, Magna and Joshua headed home.

However, as they got closer to their house, a sickly feeling appeared in his stomach. Before Joshua could react, Magna broke into a series of flickers.

Magna"s heart started rapidly beating as he could feel the emotions of alot of people surrounding his home while there were 5 people in the house emanating intense fear.

"BRING OUT THAT BRAT!!!"

"WE KNOW HE"S HERE!!! WE SAW HIM ATTACK US!!!"

"HOW DARE HE HURT THE VILLAGE CHIEF"S SON!!!"

As he got to his house, his eyes instantly turned blood red. Many people, mostly men, had surrounded his house as they smashed the windows and the walls. They even smashed the door down yet didn"t set foot inside.

Magna suddenly felt close to snapping yet remembering how his anger can affect him, he slowly took a deep breath in an attempt to calm down.

Suddenly, a man with bulging muscles picked a rock off the ground and throw it through one of the kitchen windows.

"AHHHHHHHH!!!"

That was the final straw. He just heard the scream of his mother.

"…I"m."

One of the men near the back managed to hear Magna.

He turned around and became surprised. With a c.o.c.ky smile he yelled, "HEY!!! THE BRATS OVER HERE!!!"

The crowd parted, allowing 4 c.o.c.ky looking men and 1 insane looking man holding a ice bag on his crotch.

However, Magna paid them no attention as his face slowly started to twist in fury. With his eyes dyed blood red, Magna roared as his aura exploded outwards, "I"M GONNA f.u.c.kING KILL YOU ALL!!!"
