Legacy of the Lost: Key-Hunt
The Story so far...
The war between for Cybertron has come onto planet earth. But this time, humans are all too aware of the battle
10 years ago, the dreaded Decepticon leader Megatron ordered and led the brutal massacre of 10% of the human population. In the aftermath of those horrific days, humanity evenly split into two main factions:
On one side, the side of justice and freedom, there is NEST, a coalition or united countries and nations that aids the Autobots in defending the innocent and helping the powerless. Within NEST there is Section 9, comprised of the greatest human soldiers/fighters, led by Maes Hughes.
On the other side, the side of power and conquest, there MECH, a secret society that worships the Decepticons and do whatever they have to to aid them. Unlike NEST, very little is known about how the organization works, aside from the fact they have many vast fortunes and resources at their disposal.
A battle for the earth wages, each side with two species joined in a common goal.
And at the centre of it all, there is the Amaha family; matriarch former ace pilot Masanae Amaha and the 20 orphaned children she took in and has grown to love as if they were her own:
Rin Ogata, , a ballerina and Motorcross racer.
Grey Fullbuster, a newly selected NEST Section 7 member
Zen Wesitria, second born prince of a land now assumed destroyed.
Ruby Rose and her half sister Yang Xialong.
Schnee Dust Company heiress Weiss Schnee.
Blake Belladonna.
Shirou Emiya, an aspiring hero.
Kurumu Kurono.
Qwenthur Barboss.
Tatsumi, another aspring young hero
Edward Elric.
Inori Yuzuhira, an idol of growing fame.
Izuku Midoriaya
Souma Yukihara, the son of a legendary chef with the skills to eclipse his father...if only he could get over his odd dishes
Nagisa Shiotam who is shaping up to be the greatest member of the family, currently in command of Omega Supreme himself.
Rinka Hayami.
Setsuna Sakurazaki, a skilled Kendo practitoner.
And finally, Henry Wong, an aspiring martial artist and baby of the family.
Together, sometimes seperately and with the aid of NEST and Section 9, this family has fought and defeated many powerful Decepticons with nothing but their wits and skills, often ensuring that NEST moves forward and more survivors of the war are assured and resuced.
But this is NOT a story of the Amaha clan. At least, not one with them in the spotlight.
This is the story of the ones who hold the hearts of the heroic teens...and the greatest adventure that may tip the scales in their side's favour.
10 Years ago
A couple ran as fast as their legs could carry them, a shady shape racing after them, pouncing from building to building, rage and irritation clear in its growls and hisses. The city around them was burning and abandoned; their pursuer and his comrades being the cause.
A crying ran through the air; a baby boy screaming in fear and cold
"Shush Oscar, please!" The woman begged.
"There's the door!" the man called out as he pulled the pins out of several grenades and tossed them at their pursuer, who let out a scream of pain and hisses of anger. "That won't keep him back for long!"
They leapt into trench, where the father tossed aside rubble to find a door with a clock and ax insigna. Placing his hand onto it, a whirling light burst as it opened, revealing an elevator...for one.
"Get in." The man ordered. "Get to your father."
"No, I can't do tha..."
They realized their pursuer was getting back up and hissing angrily. The husband and wife shared a final kiss before he pushed her into the elevator and pressed the down button. Just as the door closed, he managed to say:
"I love you."
The man then turned to face their stalker. He realized too late that it was starting to get darker suddenly. The two reprieves he got where that his wife and child were safe and that he didn't truly feel death.
Once the elevator opened, the mother rushed into a room, where a small pod and what appeared to be train tracks that went underground lay. Her son's whimpering had lessened but she was still scanning for something...and she found it.
Taking stick of tape, she then drew down several symbols: a cloud with an eye in it, Australia with a droplet of water, a panther, a pyramid and a car. She wrapped the paper around the squirming baby, who cried as the ink settled into his skin
"I know, I know hurts Ozzy." She cooed, kissing her baby boy's cheeks and forehead just as the lights flickered. She covered her son's mouth and listened as hard as she could.
A crash from behind the door. Their pusuer was there.
Steeling herself, she kissed her baby and placed him into the pod, along with a DVD labeled 'To Ozpin and Oscar.'
"I..." She struggled. "I wanted the best for you. I thought we could end the war before you learnt to talk. But...I have to give this to you. I love you, Oscar Be happy and safe.."
The pod then shot out just as the door came down, and there stood her stalker: A mechanical panther, growling at her and almost gleefully showing it's reddened paws...just as its leader, Megatron himself, entered the room.
"Where is the map?"
She said nothing.
"Tell us or join the others."
She still said nothing.
"...Very well."
The young woman waited for death...which came quickly.
LOTL
Ozpin was many things; a war hero, a father, someone who knew more about the histiry between humans and cybertronians than most...but above all else, he was human.
So, when a pod suddenly came into his room during his off-hours of leading the buliding of a school where he would become Prinicpal...and inside there was his screaming and bawling grandsom...He simply held the crying toddler, his cheeks stained with tears at the relazation his daughter and son-in-law, who had been SO CLOSE to helping to end the war...where dead.
And right on his only family member's neck was what had gotten them killed and would no doubt lead to great pain and suffering.
