Mission 1

Nero's POV

Nero was out on a "special" operation. He was to hunt down any and all demons found. "Man, the big wigs up top game me a real narrow objective, huh?" he sighed. He was already having a tough day. He walked through an abandoned town and fought a giant fire demon that talked. Then he continued tracking them further along through a jungle and then a frozen wasteland.

Seriously, the fuck is wrong, he thought, oh right those damn demons. Now he found a tunnel through a mountain, underneath a waterfall. Got to admit that these demons have a real sense of location, he thought grudgingly.

Heading into the tunnel Nero thought back to his arm, which had stopped hurting. He was really happy that it stopped hurting, now he wished it would go back to normal. Damn thing, at least this is useful when killing demons, he thought with a sad smile. At least the order doesn't know about it, they would probably put me down, well they could try ha. The thought of fighting against the order made him smile. I know that they could at least put up a fight against me, while these demons die too quickly.

Thinking of the order, they had told him that his "backup" would be catching up to him later. Whatever, I work best alone, he trudges onward, deeper into the tunnel. There was nothing suggesting that this cave was natural at all, if anything it looked manmade. Strange normally demons hate anything made by humans, since they consider humans as cattle or subjects to toy with. He was walking for what felt like thirty minutes, thinking how he would make that bastard in the red trench coat pay.

Flashback

The day had started out normally, me sitting in the order's church for their great demon god Sparda, with my arm wrapped up in a cast, so I could hide my arms hellish transformation. He had supposedly saved humanity from his own kind betraying them. He had gained powers far greater than that of a demon's, for he felt human emotions making him stronger. That had enabled him to seal the Hell Gate leaving the demon army trapped in hell. The high priest was talking about him with high reverence and all that. What that old guy didn't expect was a man wearing a red trench coat, with white hair, two guns a black one and a white one, and a huge sword to fall from the roof through the glass ceiling. He landed on the priests alter and shot the priest in the head. I was too slow to save the priest, but the rest of the people were in danger. So I jumped at him and slashed at him with Red Queen, revving up the blade so it burned with an orange glow of super-heated metal. The two swords clashed and I saw his face, he looked so familiar to me and I guess I looked familiar to him as well. He just stared at me and smiled, the entire our swords were locked in a crossing sparks flying from where they touched. He had shoved me back and started swinging with a speed so fast I could barely keep up with him, he got a few good times cutting my cast off and slashing open my stomach. I clutched my stomach with my good hand to keep my guts from spilling out onto the floor.

"Aww… come on and here I thought you would put up a decent fight," the man in red said, sad at my quick defeat. In a desperate attempt to attack him I reached out with my right arm, summoning a giant spectral version of it, grabbing him with it I felt something flow between the two of us. It felt like liquid fire was being poured into my veins, looking down at my stomach I saw the injury repair itself. My spectral arm was growing in strength as well, the man in red just looked pleased that I wasn't dead. He just stayed still in my grip, until I noticed red lightning crackling around him, I was blinded by a flash of white light and thrown across the room crashing into the concrete wall. I pulled myself out and noticed I wasn't hurt at all. The man in red looked more interestedly at me, noticing my arm. "Ah… I see why you looked familiar," he said.

"Shut up you fuck!" I screamed and rushed him as fast as I could. He was having trouble keeping up with me, every time he swung his sword I blocked it with my hand and punched him in the face knocking him to the floor. I jumped on top of him and continued to beat him in the face, with each punch he sank deeper and deeper into the concrete floor. I dragged him up to his feet and flung him into the concrete wall, before he hit the ground I had thrown his own sword at him it pierced his chest and impaled him into the wall. I sank to my knees in exhaustion, breathing hard. That when I heard clapping, confused I looked around for the source of the noise, it was the man in red.

"Now I know why you look so familiar to me," he said while pulling the sword out of his chest, blood was gushing out but he was not fazed by this he kept on talking. "You remind me of my brother, his name was Virgil, well you certainly have the same color as him. Yet you fight recklessly and brutishly, like me," he continued with a smile. I was absolutely confused how he shrugged of a hit like that and how he talked to me so nonchalantly afterword. His wound knit itself back together.

"How are you still alive?" I had asked surprised and still on guard, worried since I was out of energy he might use this chance to kill me.

"Oh right introductions are in order I take it," he said not listening to me at all, "My name is Dante Sparda," finishing with a grand bow. "So what is your name kid?" he asked me.

"It's Nero," I said deciding to play along with this guy so I can get my energy back.

"No last name, Nero? What are you a bastard," he smiled at his own little joke.

Before I could answer him knights from the order rushed into the room cutting me off from answering his question. Dante looked at me and smiled, "sorry kid guess this will have to wait until later." With that he jumped against the wall and kicked off to the other wall, he made it back out the way he came in two seconds.

Flashback End

I was so close to finally getting some answers to my heritage, because I have a suspicion that Dante knows who my father is or was. As Nero shook himself out of his thoughts, he could sense demons up ahead. He crouched down into the shadows along the walls of the tunnel. He saw a bunch of demon, about ten of them, with what looked like was a sword for a dorsal fin. So these things appear to be fished based, but there is no water around for them to swim in. Nero grabs Blue Rose, prepared for a fight.

He steps out of the shadow and says something to catch their attention.

"Hey you demonic fuckers. Are you hungry? Cause I sure want some sushi." He said jokingly to the demons. They roared and jump into the dirt, their fins were sticking out of the ground. Well shit I guess they don't need water to fight me then. Nero fires Blue Rose into the first one slowing it down then he yanks it out of the ground with his right arm's power. He smashes the thing into one of its brothers, they were reduced to a fine paste on the ground, the concrete cracked from the force of his throw. One of the demons got the jump on him, it had slashed his leg open destroying the tendons and muscle underneath his skin. "Motherfucker I'll rip you into pieces you little shit." Nero brings blue rose up firing six rounds into its body slowing it down, he yanked it up and his arm started to consume its life force, draining it dry. He could feel his tendons and muscles knitting themselves back together again, the pain was excruciating. He dropped its empty husk onto the floor. "Man you'd think that you'd have tasted better, but thanks for the snack anyway. Bring it on I'm still standing!" While the demons were thinking up their next strategy, Nero pulled out Red Queen and revs up her engine turning the blade a molten orange color.

With his sword charged up and ready to go, he waits patiently for them to attack. Two of the demons jumped him, this time with the life of the other demon flowing through his veins, he grabbed one while cutting the other one in half with a single swing of his sword. The next one that jumped out at him was met with his friend's body slamming them into the wall, they both died instantly upon impact. He acts before they could retaliate, grabbing one he squishes it in his hand and fires a charged round of bullets from Blue Rose tearing through two of them. He yanks the last one out and approaches it slowly.

Nero could sense its fear of him moving closer he starts to slowly carve it fin off. The demon screeched in pain, "I did promise you that I would rip you into pieces slowly, but I think I'm going to drain your life like I did your friend." He picked up its fin and impaled it into the ground.

"Don't want you to run away. No you hurt me so now I'm going to hurt you slowly," he snarled at the demon.

Reaching out he gripped it and slowly drained its life away. The entire time the demon screamed.

A couple minutes later

Now with that unpleasant business finished, where to next. Nero was nearing an exit to the tunnel, it was sealed off by a thick metal door, there was a sign right above the doorway.

"What the hell?" Nero said, the sign said that he was exiting the experiment tunnel. Is someone experimenting with those demons, but what are they doing? Thinking back, demons hate human made structures and would avoid them at all costs preferring their own creations, that and there aren't any demons that look like fucking fish things. These aren't normal demons someone is creating them. Whoever it is I will kill them for this, these things should not be allowed to exist.

Raising his fist up he smashed through the metal doorway. The alarm that sounded off was a shrill pitch that hurt his ears, due to his enhanced senses. He walked through the opening he had created. What he saw was the stuff of nightmares, there were dissected corpses of people and demons. There was a tank full of demons suspended before they could grow and there were ones of different stages of its growth. There were different breeds of these artificial demons. One seemed familiar it was the fish things on their name plate was Cutlass, on the plate it said they were a combination of a fish and a sword. There were a couple he didn't recognize a few of them.

There were Basilisks, cross between a gun and a dog, Gladiuses, crossed between a reptile and a sword, Angelos, it was created by crossing a man and demon soul placed into a hollow suit of armor, this was the lab of a mad scientist.

"How did whoever did this get a hold of the Order's suits of armor these things are supposed to be ceremonial? These things are too heavy to be used in battle against the demons." Nero pondered these thoughts, aloud, while looking around the room some more. Nero was distracted by this and he didn't hear the person who was sneaking up on him.

"N-Nero what are you doing here." Stammered out a familiar voice, it was Agnus.

This man is the Order's scientist, he supposedly is the reason the order has had more success in their operations. He created the weapons everyone in the order uses, except for my Red Queen and Blue Rose I made these girls myself. Nero thought smugly.

Agnus was a hunched over man who wore white robe-like clothing with a gold trim over the sleeves and neck lining. He speaks quietly and with a really bad stammer. He is a well-built person but he is a very cowardly person which is why he chose the role of the Order's scientist.

"Agnus what is this hellhole?" Nero asked bewildered at Agnus's sudden appearance.

"Y-Y-YOU WATCH YOUR TONE!" Screeched Agnus at Nero's comment at this place being a hellhole. "This place is the Order's laboratory, its where I conduct experiments on the demons looking for ways to help kill them weak points and all that. T-Then we discovered the usefulness of demonic energy by taking the souls of demons we can turn ourselves into angels to defeat this unholy menace." He spoke with determination to get his point across.

Nero was disgusted by this, the Order which he was raised by was using demons and turning people and animals into them.

"This is sickening! I am going to stop this freak show from continuing!" Nero exclaimed, rushing Agnus.

Agnus snapped his fingers, the Gladiuses in the container burst forth and slammed into Nero punching through the wall.

The room was mostly empty except for a broken katana that was floating in the center of the room. Nero would have been looking more closely at it, if not for the gladiuses that were currently impaling him into the wall. They pierced his shoulders and legs into the wall.

Nero saw the sword and his head started to pound and pulse. He felt as if the sword was calling him promising him power to kill all the demons he wanted.

"N-Nero how are you still alive?" Agnus notices his arm, "you have demonic power as well! That reinforces the reason that I cannot let you live. You found the Order's lab and voiced that you would go against the Order." Agnus was about to signal the artificial demons to finish what they had started when-

"Hey there kiddo I see you got yourself in quite the pickle. I was going to let you fight yourself, but once this guy cheated and called for backup I decided to help you out for a while," said an annoyingly familiar voice.

Before Nero could say anything, the Gladiuses that were holding him up were shot off of him. Nero fell unceremoniously to his knees in pain, he could feel his demon biology trying to reverse the damage done to his appendages.

"So you are creating demons that are loyal to you huh. That is very strange indeed, but you are very original in their names I couldn't think of better even if I wanted to." The voice said sarcastically, the person rounded the corner and it was Dante.

Of course I'm about to die and this idiot shows up. Swaggering in here like he owns the place seriously why? Nero thought coldly regarding Dante. Nero was closer to the broken katana. What the hell am I going to do with a broken weapon. It's not like I'll be able to hit them with a none existent blade.

"Hey kid would you mind grabbing that sword for me?" Dante said interrupting Nero's train of thought, though the way he said it meant that it wasn't a question. "While you do that I'll handle Mr. Scientist over hear. Come on doc let's dance." Dante whipped out his twin pistols and fired at Agnus, causing the man to jump behind a table he had in his lab. Sighing Dante jumped into the air over the table and flipped himself upside down. He was raining bullets around and at Agnus. The poor guy did not stand a chance, he was ripped into pieces and was bleeding out on the floor.

Nero had gotten to the sword and went to grab the handle with his right hand, because that one was the least damaged it healed quicker than the rest of his appendages. Once he made contact with the blade he was assaulted by a searing pain that covered him. The room was covered in a flash of white light, swallowing the living occupants of the room.

Nero had passed out from the amount of pain that flooded his senses. He was dreaming about a man, he wore a long silver buttoned blue coat with three separate coat tails with a white serpentine pattern, he was currently using the katana while fighting what looked like Dante on a Tower in the Rain. The man said the name of his katana and it changed his form.

He looked like a blue, humanoid creature, his coat turned sinewy and alive, his hair turned from spikey to a crest with a fin-like shape at the top, his neck has a membrane that curved inwards, the spine merges with two dark-colored bones exposed at the top as well, his sheath attached to his left arms sleeve turning into a clawed appendage, he had a bright blue aura surrounding him, very similar to Nero's was more dark blue, and his teeth turned into fangs. He had become a demon in appearance and strength, he completely defeated Dante and impaled him with his own weapon

The blade's name was Yamato. That memory being the last thing Nero witnessed before everything faded to black.

Ruby's POV

Ruby had woken up earlier than the rest of her team that morning. She wanted to modify Crescent Rose that morning before class had started. I think that I had better leave so I don't wake them up. But first I should change out of my P.J.'s. Changing out of her P.J.'s she put on her casual outfit consisting with her signature color choices, Red and black. She tiptoed to the door trying to not get caught by her team. She opened the door softly and slipped out unnoticed

" Success, I did it," Ruby exclaimed softly, "now where should I go to modify my sweetheart." Ruby thought on the places she could go, which wasn't a lot since she was not allowed on school grounds for nearly blowing up a few of her fellow students, as well as destroying the training room. That left her with the only place she didn't have to worry about wrecking the place, The Emerald Forest. The way out of Beacon was rather easy, since it was rather early in the morning, and the forest was close by. Ruby decided to speed up the process by activating her semblance, which let her move at high speeds but the only drawback was that it left behind a trail of rose petals. She sped down the trail leading to the forest, once she was on the edge of the forest she deactivated her semblance. She was heading to a clearing that was a little bit farther in the forest and she wouldn't have to worry about the Grimm, because Ozpin had Hunter teams roaming the forest every now and then to exterminate any and keep the population down, making this a great place to experiment with different modifications.

Arriving at the clearing Ruby took a seat on the ground. Pulling Crescent Rose from behind her and putting it in front of her. The weapon was in sniper mode, ' time to see if I can enhance the scope and firing power, oh maybe I could add more explosive power to all of my shots,' thought Ruby excitedly. She had designed her weapon in Signal, a school for training in combat and weapon use, and her uncle Qrow had trained her how to use it. 'I was really garbage at using it and I would still be if not for him,' Ruby truthfully thought.

While she was working there were three heavy thuds on the ground near her. Curious, Ruby picked up Crescent Rose and decided to walk over to the noises so she could investigate, what she saw were three weapons lying on the ground, there were two swords and a gun. The swords are of different types a long sword with what looked like a motorcycle engine attached to the guard, and the other was a katana in a dark blue sheath with gold wrappings around the sheath, it had ribbons gaming from the hilt of the blade. The gun looks like it is a highly modified revolver that can fire two shots from the chamber, there was a decal of a blue rose and thorns going along the barrel and receiver of the weapon. They were beautiful weapons, that showed who ever owned them took great care of them and Ruby was happy to meet such fine weapons. Looking at them closer, she saw they had created a dent in the dirt under them signaling they had fallen from a great height. She raised her head and saw what looked like an oval cut in the sky, it seemed as if reality had been cut away. Before she could do anything else, something came falling from the cut like a meteor. It crashed into the ground taking out a couple of trees as well.

Running over as fast as she could, which is pretty freaking fast, reaching the edge of the crater that was left by the meteor like thing. She peered over the edge, whatever was in there it looks like a person concerned she jumped into the crater to make sure whoever it was is okay. When getting closer she could see what he looked like.

He has white hair, is wearing a long black and red coat with emblem that looked like a halberd with horns atop the spike and a wing wrapped around it, he had two rings on his left hand one shared the emblem while the other had a rose design on it, the rose design is on his belt buckle, coat clasp, and coat buttons, with a red zip-up vest hoodie, but what really caught her attention was his glowing right arm. It has claws instead of finger nails, glowed a bright blue color, a segmented look with the glow running down his arm to his elbow, which was longer and more curved out than a normal elbow with his sleeve pulled up above it, the entire thing had a bone and muscle look to it and you could see the sinew between the cracks and above the glowing blue flesh, it gave off a strong negative wave of emotions.

This is bad I have to get him out of here, but where should I take him Vale is too far away, maybe I could take him to Beacon's infirmary. Ruby thought hurriedly, because the Grimm are attracted to negative emotions.

She was too late; the Grimm had caught his scent she'll have to deal with them first then help him. Switching Crescent Rose into scythe mode she stood her ground waiting for the Grimm to show up.

The Grimm burst from the trees and bushes, they were eight Beowolves and one alpha Beowolf. She opened fire on them, using her scythe to keep her rooted to her spot effectively countering recoil, she killed three of the Beowolves before they rushed her and she couldn't get her scythe out of the ground fast enough.

Before they reached her and tore her apart, the stranger had burst from the ground, leaving the ground underneath him cracked, he punched the first Beowolf in the side of the head which exploded upon impact leaving bits of grey matter and black blood flying in the air. His eyes were blood red like the Grimm's, but the thing that scared Ruby was the grin that was plastered on his face from killing the creature and how he didn't look like a human giving off an aura of pure blood lust, leaving Ruby frozen in the spot. He continued his onslaught, ripping the arms off a Beowolf then proceeding to beat its pack mates to death with its arms. He grasped the last Beowolf by its head and squeezed, while he did this it slashed his stomach open making him howl in pain, then the Beowolf's head exploded splattering him with brains and blood. All that was left was the alpha Beowolf, ignoring his injuries he launched himself at it with inhuman speed, it was too slow to react as he plunged his right arm into its chest. What happened next scarred Ruby as the Grimm started screeching in pain and fear, they never do that the only thing the express is hatred and frustration towards humans, the stranger's arm seemed to absorb the alpha, slowly as it kept on screeching. Ruby saw as his body exuded a blue smoke and how his injuries healed slowly knitting itself shut. He turned to face Ruby and once he meet her eyes his turned into to a dark blue, instead of the red they were. His eyes were full of fear, confusion, and apprehension then they rolled up and he passed out on the ground.

"Hey are you okay!?," Ruby exclaimed as she rushed to his side to check on his condition. I've got to get him to Beacon, but first I have to cover up his arm or else we'll be swarmed by Grimm, she thought in a rush. Taking his jacket off, since the thing was in shreds any way, she used it to cover up his arm. She grabbed his arm and draped it over her shoulder, blushing slightly until she mentally scolded herself, he is hurt, I think, and I'm taking him to the infirmary, she thought. She starts to drag him up the trail towards Beacon.
