Chapter 1: Welcome to Vale
Skyline over Vale 21:30
Two figures watched from their seats in an airborne Bullhead as the city lights passed beneath them as they made their way to an Atlas landing pad towards the outskirt of the city. Each one having a thousand thoughts flying through their heads as they began their final approach.
The first figure stood at about 5'5 with pale colored skin and curly orange hair with a small ahoge on top that stretched down towards her chin with a light pink colored bow at the top of her head slightly leaning back in the wind. She had bright light green eyes that seemed to shine with a sort of amazement as they flew over different buildings and each time she smiles it only helped to highlight the number of freckles she had around her cheeks and eyes. She wore a whitish-grey somewhat out dated blouse with short grey feminine overalls, as well as a black and green collar with a matching pair of stockings. She also had a small green backpack on as she happily swayed back and forth in the wind.
The second and most definitely intimidating member of the duo stood at an impressive 6'6 mountain of muscle with his skin being a very unique shade of light blue-grey and hair of an even darker blue styled to stick out forward in almost the shape a fin. His eyes were perfect circles of white with small pure black pupils that did nothing to hide his growing levels of both anxiety and excitement. He wore solid black military styled combats boots and pants with both legs having a holster at the hip with a Atlas styled white flack jacket covering his torso, shoulders, and neck with a plain black short sleeve tee shirt underneath the armor. His more unique appearance though came in his other more animalistic features. Along with his almost shark-like eyes and skin the second figure also had six gills, three lined three on each of his cheekbones and six more on his shoulders underneath his clothes. And to top it all off, just like a real shark he had rows of pearly white, razor sharp, triangular shaped teeth along his mouth.
And like his companion the second one also had something of his back, but instead of a small green backpack on his back being held by a brown sash was a bandaged wrapped sword almost as long as he was tall with a tan patterned grip with a small human like skull at the back of handle.
And if one listened or watched long enough the sword seemed to slightly vibrate causing the man to smile and show off his menacing mouth full of teeth, or frown from time to time as well.
Finally after a few agonizing last minutes for one of the two they land and after exit the aircraft with the taller of the two sighing very loudly and as he took in a large breath of cool Vale night air, while stretching out his somewhat tired muscles.
"I still hate flying." The second one says in a deep masculine voice as he was finally glad to have his feet back on the ground rather than in the air.
The first of the two quickly comes around and stands in front of him, "Fret not then Kisame I'll try my hardest to distract you the next time we fly." The first speaks up in a peppy and generally happy voice making the other one smile and mess with her hair a bit, "Yeah, yeah you say that every time we fly. Yet here I am still dreading the next time I have to get into the air." He says sarcastically making the smaller one just stare at him slightly disgruntled.
Though eventually he just laughs it off and waves to her.
"Come on Penny, let's go." He says to her making the ginger girl smile at him as she follows close behind him.
Once the two were in the building they were met with a number of Atlas soldiers looking to the two and nodding back to both of them despite Kisame's obvious nature as a Faunus.
"So, you excited Penny?" Kisame asks his ginger companion as she smiled and nodded almost franticly at him, "Oh yes, very much! I know that this festival will be most enjoyable. And that's not even thinking about finally testing myself against other combatants, well other than you." She says trying to look him in the eyes while they walked.
Kisame laughs a bit under hid breath at her attitude, but it was something he found refreshing, and he really didn't feel like would ever get old. Sure she'll learn and get better at social workings, but hey he was like her at one point, so it's fun watching her struggle with some of the same things he did.
They then made their way to an office where they were met with none other than general Ironwood himself making the two of them snap to attention in his presence.
The general looks to the two of them and lets out a small smile, "At ease you two."
Kisame and Penny relax a bit, but were still more concerned as to why they had been called in the first place. After all it's not everyday that the headmaster and general of your school and military casually calls you in for a simple chat.
"In the interest of time I'll just skip to what I would like to ask you two. In your own opinions where do you think you stand in terms of skill and competition in the Vital Festival?"
The two weren't really expecting this kind of question but nonetheless both of them answer.
"We're combat ready general!" Penny says with a crisp, but at the same time energetic salute.
"It's going to be a slaughter fest." Kisame says with a hand gripping onto his sword's handle, which seemed to get quite the rattle from the large weapon.
Both of the answers cause the general to sweat at both the childish response one gave him and the almost savage look the other had when they answered.
But he composed himself and shook his head as the two showed no sign of correcting what they said to him, "Well your confidence isn't shorthanded, I can appreciate that. But I have bad news for the two of you; unfortunately bad snow storms has kept the rest of your team from being able leave Atlas, so for the time being the two of you will be staying on base for the night, and starting when your teammates make into the kingdom the four of you will be staying at Beacon. Also tomorrow I suggest that Kisame you explore and get acquainted with the area, but do not make yourself known just yet to other students or potential competitors of the Festival."
This made Kisame raise a brow, "Penny can't leave can she?" He asks in a manner telling him that the younger male most likely already knew the answer, but still wanted to here it regardless.
"No, not yet, unfortunately she cannot leave on her own. It's at the moment too much of a security risk. Bottom line is that we can't have the risk of Vale citizens or Huntsmen finding out about her until the Vital Festival. But if you accompany her then starting tomorrow the two of you could explore the city a bit, though the both of you will be heavily monitored and tracked. I hope you understand."
Penny looked down a little saddened to hear that but nodded nonetheless out of respect to her general While Kisame nods a bit hesitant at the thought of being tracked.
Seeing as both of them weren't looking to ask anymore questions the general shimmered out of existence telling them that he was only a hologram and that they were now on their own for the most part until the others got to Vale and they were all sent to Beacon.
And while Penny merely pulled him along wanting to see all the sights of Vale in the morning Kisame couldn't help summarize everything he just heard in his own more accurate version from how the general reacted and what he actually told them.
'Are we going to win? Asks oh mighty Ironwood, hell yeah we are. Almost feel sorry for the poor bastards that go against us. The others are not coming for a few days. Which means Penny and I are going to have train and operate by ourselves. Behind enemy lines from all the talk back at the academy until the tournament so we can't give away too much information about Penny or myself, but at the same time map out the area. Seems simple enough. Strange that I can't help but think we're getting ready for war.'
Kisame was brought out his thoughts as Penny began to hum a tune to herself making the shark like student/soldier smile at her genuine happiness and wonder over simply being able to leave the labs and testing facilities that the two of them had been using for some time now.
"Come on Penny bunks are this way, or…" He trails realizing that the general simply said to go out tomorrow, but then again he should have been a little more absolute with his orders if he wanted them to really stay here, and besides Kisame knew how to keep a low profile. He might as well read between the lines on this and have a bit of fun.
Penny notices a toothy grin emerge on Kisame's face and tilts her head at him, "Or what? You stopped talking Kisame, is something wrong?" She asks generally concerned that something was wrong with her friend.
"Nothing, I was just about to ask where do you want to stay in Vale?" He asks as he makes his way over to a somewhat more secluded corner of the base.
"But Ironwood said to stay here at night." Penny said as Kisame looked around trying to spot a guard to anyone that might sneak up on the two.
"Yeah he did, but I know that you wanted to go out and look around, so what say you and me sneak out?" He asks leaning in and wiggling his eyebrows at the girl making her widen her eyes.
"No we can't do that. The general and the others would get very mad at us." She tries to reason with him as he laughs at her attempt to hide her own growing want to go out and explore.
"Look Penny I'm heading out, now you can come with me or you can sit here and be bored. Besides I heard there are some pretty interesting spots around Vale's center. Might even meet some cool people, but I guess if you want we can stay here…."
Kisame slightly looks over his shoulder to see Penny trying her best to glare at him, but all she did was puff her cheeks out somehow look even more adorable then she did normally.
"Fine. But how am I going to sneak out?" She asks skeptical of this idea to begin with. Kisame sends a small glance over to the sword on his back making the girl glare at him again.
Later that night 22:50
Now out and about Penny couldn't for the life of her hold a grudge against Kisame once they finally made it to the center of Vale as she found herself pulling him wherever she wanted to go stopping in front of every store they saw and planted herself in the window trying to look at everything and everyone in there.
At least Kisame could laugh at her a bit seeing as this was her first time in any real major city, and he wanted the girl to enjoy herself for once, she was getting antsy the entire flight to Vale. And hyper bored Penny was a sight he never wanted to see, ever again.
As they were walking Kisame stops to look at a dust store and looked to see that Penny was still staring into and slightly scaring the puppies in a pet store.
"Penny!" He calls over to her getting her attention. The girl looks up from her new favorite store and quickly walks over to the Faunus.
"Penny I'm headed into that dust store over there, do you need anything?" She shakes her head, "Ok now please don't wander off, five minutes I'll be gone five minutes can you stay put for that long?" She nods.
Nodding and accepting that as a good enough answer the shark-like Faunus walks over to the dust store named 'From Dust till Dawn.'
And for a while Penny did stand there happily humming and looking around at the city light, before quickly and easily getting distracted by a young couple holding hands and walking their dog. She then began following behind them not really knowing she was doing it as she was more focused trying to figure out what they were exactly doing.
Kisame calmly opens the front to the store and immediately couldn't help but let out a whistle seeing all of the impressive stock one little shop has left, especially when he remembered hearing all about the many robberies that were hitting the city at the moment.
Hearing both the ring of a bell and the whistle the owner himself pops up and slightly recoils from the sight of the intimidating Faunus in his shop with a greatsword on his back.
"Hey old-timer got any blue dust left in stock?" Kisame asks trying to look the man in his squinted almost completely closed eyes.
The old man nods and drops down to show him a small case full of crystals and a few vials of a wide assortment of dust making the shark show his teeth with a grin. "Perfect, I'll take as much as I can buy." He says before sliding a rather large amount of lien over the counter to the old man who looked to him then the card then to the sword on his back.
Sensing his worry the Atlas student sighs, "Look I know I look like a bit of horror story come to life, but I'm not going to hurt you. I'm just here to restock on water dust and then I've got to get back to my friend outside. Cross my heart that's all I came here for." He says to him before actually X'ing over his heart with his right hand to show the old man he wasn't lying to him.
Hearing this the old shopkeeper nods and then rings up crystals and dust cylinders and by the end of the sale had a rather large smile on his face, and a much larger bank account.
As Kisame turns to leave he spots a large assortment of magazines and books in the back of the store and shrugs his shoulders before going over to the back and trying to look for something Penny might like.
As he quickly scans and shelves for anything his little ginger friend might like he spots both magazines about weapon maintenance and even some girl and beauty ones he was thinking of giving to as both a joke and just general curiosity, might be fun to see her overanalyze anything and everything in them. As he goes to turn and pay he hears the door open again and the distinct sound of a gun being drawn from a holster.
He then sniffs the air and in the back of his mind he grins recognizing a distinct scent in the air, Faunus. And where there were Faunus committing crimes usually meant his least favorite group was right in the middle of everything, pulling the strings or the trigger themselves more often than not.
And with that on his mind, he smirks at the thought time of his new favorite pastime, "Time to go hunting."
Turning around he stalks around the shop with a very surprising amount of stealth for someone of his size and low and behold there was a man with small curled horns coming out of his head in a White Fang mask and uniform holding a gun to the old man's head.
Knowing that he had just essentially entered a hostage situation Kisame knew he had to act soon, but he was for the moment perfectly content to wait in the stores darker corner poised like a predator in ambush.
The man goes to look behind his shoulder and Kisame seizes his opportunity to get the drop on the man.
Fast as lightning he launched himself onto the thug and snatched his wrist in an iron-like grip before easily snapping it without a second thought, he then quickly places his free hand on the man's throat and lifts him into the air and kicks the gun away from the now airborne criminal.
The man had however was able to let out a scream when his wrist was swiftly broken before Kisame could clamp down on his throat alerting others outside. Kisame looks over his captive's shoulder and can see four other Fang members each with weapons standing outside the shop, most likely as lookouts or extra security, just in case.
"Well, well, well I thought I smelled trash." Kisame says loudly trying to get some kind of reaction out of any of them.
"Let him go!" One outside shouts to him.
Kisame looks to them and then to the ram horned one in his hand before he smiles again showing off his rather large assortment of teeth sending a wave of fear over the man in his grasp. Kisame then looks to the old man behind him with a serious expression on his gilled face, "Old man whatever happens keep the door locked and don't interfere."
The man nods and places his hand on a small red button under the counter that he had installed after the last attempted robbery on him.
"Now then, what's say you and me take this outside?" The shark asks his prey.
He then slowly starts walking out the door and into the street still with his hand gripping the terrorist's throat.
Once outside he walks slowly to the middle of the street and looks over both of his shoulders as the other masked terrorist surrounded him two his left, and two to his right.
"You all get once chance. Put down your weapons now and you'll only be arrested, you'll be tried fairly and justly and we'll leave up to a jury to decide your fate. That is of course after you all go through some thorough interrogations. "
They sneer at him and slightly nod to one another as they began to circle him.
"Or you can take the second option, and ignore what I just told you, and in return…." he then takes his free hand and slams it into the ram horned man's gut causing a loud and sickening snap to be heard as multiple ribs snapped in a single punch. Before casually dropping the unmoving man harshly down onto the cold street.
"…I'll try my best not to kill you by accident, no promises though."
Letting their anger get the better of them they all rush the shark not caring at all that they were ignoring their instincts to just turn tail and run from the apex predator.
Kisame for his part simply places one hand on his sword and grins.
