Do you want to hear the story?

Yes

The story of your Father, Ralen Trueans, death?

Yes

The tale of how he fought for his own people, and lost his own life for the final time?

Yes

Good, because their are stories Aila, that you must hear...if you want vengeance.

Ralen was in a large field of green, swaying grass. The air was sweet to smell, like honeysuckle. The wind was calm, with a gentle breeze. The sun was high in the sky, warming the ground around him and heating his skin. It felt good, good to be free.

"Well Well, I thought I was a sun lover." A voice came from behind him. Ralen smirked as he turned to his wife, Yang Xiao-Long. The two were older than they were when Beacon was their home. Ralen now had shorter hair, with small stubble on his chin. He grew slightly in height and his clothes now took a sharper image, with black details. His grey eyes kept shining however, a side effect of being a Deathless. Yang was taller that him, but not by much. Her leather jacket was now bigger, covering her entire upper body. Her mane of golden hair was longer, but still manageable. Her combat boots were still there, but were more well kept. Her lilac eyes also glowed, again, being a Deathless has it's side effects.

"It's a beautiful day, and I don't get mission with this kind of weather. It's good that we can enjoy it whenever we can."

"That I can agree on. Besides it a...Sun-Day." She grinned as Ralen face palmed. "We've known each other for 12 years, been married for 6 of those years. When will you ever stop making puns?"

"Hmmm...Never." Ralen smirked as he used his semblance to pull Yang forward. A blue smoky light latched onto Yang from thin air, and with a gasp coming from her mouth, was pulled into his waiting arms. His semblance had Evolved over the past years, now if he saw anything with a Q.I.P, he could manipulate it in any degree. Mutate it? Done. Use it to lift Grimm or people off the ground and sling them away? Next. Use the energy of the Q.I.P to make attacks of pure energy that could do a multitude of effects? Ok, now that he couldn't do...yet. He'll find a way, he's Galath isn't he?

"That's why I love you so much." He whispered in her ear. She smirked, then slammed her lips onto his. As the two fell to the ground, the couple kept up their dance of passion. As they receded lips, Yang looked into his deep gray eyes. The two looked stares, and Yang whispered words that he always loved to hear.

"I love you."

"I love you too." As they resumed their moments of passion, small footsteps were easily heard as the child yelled. "Mommy, Daddy! Look what me and Vestia found!" The couple pulled away, disappointed that there embracement was cut short. But they smiled. It had to be done, the two were parents now. As the two stood up, they followed their child Mika as he ran toward a tree, where they young daughter Vestia was waiting.

"Mommy! Daddy! Look what me and Mika found!" Vestia cried out as she pointed to the base of the lone tree. As Ralen moved closer, he saw what Vestia was pointing to. A helmet. His Helmet. It had blood on it.

A sudden flash of red light overtook him. As he looked up, he saw the area around him had changed. The sky was red, no sun in the sky. It was cold all around, and no living plant was in sight. The lone tree itself was dead. He lunged for his helmet on the ground, and put it on. As he felt the helmet slip on. He heard a feral roar from behind him. He rolled out of the large blade that was attempting to behead him. As he snapped his first four fingers on his right hand, said hand began to glow a brilliant blue light that took shape before dissipating, revealing the god-slayer. The killer of Kings. The blade of the Worker of Secrets itself.

The Infinity Blade

The monster was a Daeril, no doubt about it. It was a Rookbane, with a large sword. A Widow-Shriek. The Rookbane roared as it turned around and kicked its legs back while standing on its feet. Ralen sliced the feet out of the air, the legs falling to the dead ground. As the Daeril cried in pain, Ralen pulled out the gun he inherited from Ironwood, his father. Judgement it was called, and it was a powerful tool. He fired at the Rookbanes head, and it fell dead to the ground, a burning hole in the back of its head. Blood pooled from its deprecated legs and its now hollow head. As Ralen recovered to a casual position, he observed his surroundings in further detail. He let out a small gasp of horror, for their were bodies everywhere. Humans, Faunus, Daeril, Grimm, all the beings of Remnant were here, and they were all bloody messes. Many were either chard black from intense heat, or were massacred in horrible ways. One such example were two huntresses. One in white and another in red. The two were holding hands, but there entire body was cut and lacerated. The girl in reds eyes were horribly cut and the girl in white had a hole in her chest. Tears fell from his eyes behind his helmet as he saw the rest of his friends killed in horrible ways. Blake's head was seperated from her body. Jaune was shot in the head, Ren and Nore both had arrows in their chest, also holding hands. Thomas's upper and lower body were apart. The only people missing were Pyrrha, Coco, Sun and...Yang. Yang. Vestia. Mika. They weren't here.

"YANG?!" VESTIA!?" MIKA?!" He shouted out. No reply. He then ran. Running through the battlefield, he reached a small building. It was a 2 floor building, with a small garage and swing set. An Ideal home for a small family. But he didn't care right then. He had to find his family. He jumped up the stairs and slammed the door open. As he ran through the house, he ripped off his helmet and entered the main room, freezing as he entered. He collapsed, falling onto his knees, he crawled on the floor and reached the bloody bodies of his two children. Mika had a large gash on his chest, and Vestia's body had a hole in her chest.

"Mika...Vessy...I'm here. Daddy's here. Daddy's here. You can wake up now. Please wake up now...Please." He chocked on his sobs as he cradled the two bodies in his arms. They looked so peaceful, so tranquil. It was like they were sleeping. A moan came from nearby. Ralen looked up, and saw that the noise came from behind the couch. Gently putting his children back on the ground, carefully so they wouldn't be disturbed. Crawling on the floor, he saw what was behind the couch.

Yang was bloody, but breathing. Her hair had a combination of yellow and red in it, her face was heavilly cut, and in her stomach was a familiar looking dagger. "Yang!" He rushed to her side as he cradled her in his arms. "Stay with me Yang. Stay with me baby. Don't leave me." Yang's eyes then began to open, her lilac eyes were bloodshot, but had the smallest flicker of life in them.

"hey...ray. How's it going?" She weakly smiled. Ray's eyes widened as he gripped the dagger, then pulled it out. If it hurt Yang, she gave no sign. "I thought this was secure in the vault!" He then threw the dagger to the side. Turning his attention back to her, he whispered. "Yang...don't do this. Yang please."

"I...Love you." Yang then cupped Ralen's face, lilac eyes met grey, before she let loose a final breath and her life left her. All was still, nothing made noise. As Ralen held the body of his wife, his mind couldn't accept it. It's ok, he thought. She'll come back. She's a deathless, she'll come back. Maybe the Dagger malfunctioned, she'll be fine. Soon, I'll see her Q.I.P travel to a rebirthing chamber, It'll be alright.

No blue light came out of her. No Q.I.P left her body. She was...gone. As tears fell from his eyes, he held her close to him, sobbing uncontrollably. He then screamed, not in rage, but pure grief. It was not the sound of a sad man, but the sound of a broken man. Of a lost man, someone who had lost everything he had cared for. Everything he had fought for, gone. Everything was...gone. He was the last one left. Noises were heard... sounding like "daddy...wake up please. Daddy. Daddy!"

Ralen's eyes snapped open as he snapped up from his comfortable bed. He hated that dream, memories like that shouldn't come back to haunt anyone, but they always do. Ralen then heard the whimper of a small child next to him. He immediately turned to the noise, which was Aila, in her 6 year old glory. She stood in her small pajama's, with her hair slightly messed up. Her eyes were saddened, and had fear in them. He always did love the color of her eyes. They reminded him of her...

"Daddy. I had a nightmare." Of course, she had a nightmare too. Like Father Like Daughter, he supposed. "Are you ok Baby? What was it about?"

"I was in this red room, and their was some big black kite their laughing. It was scary." Ahh...Vaatu. He supposed that Vaatu was trying to get into his daughter, one thing about Q.I.P remnants, they usually want to have a body back. "Can I stay here tonight?" She meekly asked. He got out of bed, and picked her up. As he lifted her onto the bed, he got back into the bed and held his daughter close. "Listen Aila, you will have nightmares. Everyone has nightmares, but you learn to fight them. We're a family of fighters, me and you."

"And mommy too?" Ralen kept silent. Then hugged his daughter. "Good night Aila."

"Good night daddy."

(Play: Main Title; Daredevil. The show. Not the awful movie, sorry Afflek, that movie sucked).

High in the sky, we see the planet known as earth. On it are multiple red spots of war raging across the world. We fly into the atmosphere to focus on the area known as Republic City. We then focus on the Statue of Avatar Aang. We see his face, and fly straight through his eye. After the darkness clears, we are in an empty room. In it, there is a large tablet. It has the symbols of all four elements.

Air

Water

Earth

Fire

(Should be at 0:18 by now)

Immediately they start to shift and merge and mold. Tiles on the elements change size and position, and we get close up to witness it happen. The Air symbols sprawling loops are straightened to from lines, and a point. Water goes full circle, and makes a circle right above the new straight blade like design. Earth changes it's lines to make a hilt, with a small hole in its pommel. Fire becomes detail, as it surrounds the blade, hilt and cross-guard in black, dead lines.

(Should be at 0:34)

Electricty course on the floor, sparking through the walls and into the details of the blade, giving it color, warmth and life. It glows brightly as we zoom away, and it reveals a mural of the Infinity Blade. Soon everything goes black, with only the light of the Infinity Blade staying, until it fades. Then, a name is shown.

Rise.

Written by Rnij.

Everything goes black.

(Song should be over by then.)

Chapter 1: The Funeral

"In life, you were once Fire lord Zuko! You lead the short skirmish of Yu Dao! You singed the Republic Accords, creating Republic City! You fixed relations with the world of bending after the horrible 100 year war, you were an inspiration to all in life, and a inspiration to all in death!" The Grand Fire Sage chanted to the crowd of people watching. Most of the people were important figures in the world. Avatar Korra, Master Tenzin, CEO Asami Sato, President Raiko, and Headmaster Ralen Truean.

Wonderful, this guy really must have been that awesome to get so much recognition. Ralen sarcastically though. Why he was here instead of teaching at Lance Academy? The school he founded to restart the hunter people, he didn't know why. Probably because Korra, his friend, invited him. Yeah, that was why.

Ralen thought back to his time in the new world. After the collapse of the entire hunter culture - and by extension the death of Remnant as a whole - he was tricked again into being locked up in the Vault of Tears. Something about him always got Ralen in that Vault, maybe it was luck, destiny possibly? Galath never did believe in destiny. But Ralen did. After all, the two were the same man, different people. Ralen was locked in their for around...Ten thousand years. Give or take. Man, what was with Galath/Ralen getting locked up for Ten Thousand years, he had done the thing twice already! Not fun. Very boring, and violent. He lost track of the times he tried to escape - most likely through killing himself, a deathless is just that, deathless - that vault. Thankfully, someone got him out.

It was around 9 or more years ago, when he was freed. Korra and her friends were searching the world for "Airbenders" (Actually, "Benders" were people genetically modified to be able to control the elements, much like how hunters and Faunus were as well. Galath had planned for the next grand experiment to be him ruling over people with certain abilities. But they didn't need to know that.), when they saw reports of a cursed castle that mysteriously lit up - most likely due to the timing and the 'Harmonic Convergence' they had recently where she had fough a Q.I.P specter named Vaatu. Most likely the Q.I.P specter of someone like Salem, or maybe Raidrair? No, he was to long gone to become a Specter. Anyway. he remembered his shock when he saw the vault door open, he hid himself behind the throne and watched as the 4 teenagers, close to him in age - his body de-aged multiple times when he tried to escape AkA killed himself multiple times in both desperation and grief. When they investigated, he attacked. Much to their surprise, in fact. They weren't expecting someone like him in the Vault. After he single-handedly defeated them (or as they said...destroyed), he asked them why they were here. One thing lead to another, and when they asked who he was, he said that he was a hunter. They didn't need to know of his deathless roots.

Imagine his surprise, when they revealed that Hunters, were now a myth. A legend, a fairy tale. Warriors of a lost age, before bending, who fought the darkness without fear. The legends said that they vanished to the winds, one day to return. Imagine their shock, when he said that Hunters...were real. He was one of them, and they all died. That was certainly a shocker. After that, he joined them. Helped them defeat two foes, the Red Lotus and the woman known as Kuvira. A brilliant general and a person who he respected for both military skill and intellect. If she wasn't his enemy, she would have been a great huntress.

After Kuvira, he opened his school. Lance Academy. A school that represented freedom, an escape from poverty and inequality to fight for the people. To become legend. Many though that they were nothing more than glorified mercenaries, and Ralen as nothing but a second "Amon", whoever that was. But when the Hunters showed their skill, many couldn't disagree that they were powerful. And they feared them for it. After all, who starts a fully independent armed force which could possibly defeat armies, without supervision? That made him an enemy in the President of the Untied Republic, Raiko. The two had never gotten along, Raiko thought that Ralen's background was a lie and he was too mysterious to be left alone. Ralen thought that Raiko was sketchy, who comes from nothing but the slums of Republic City to the Highest office in 5 months? That seemed off. But that was something for later, the Fire Lady was finishing up her speech.

"My Father, was not a perfect man. He was very conflicted, and although he loved us, could get distracted by his duties. He said that his greatest fear was to not spend time with his children, but I will always remember him as the man who raised me, who loved me. His final wishes was that his funeral had a festive party with it, to celebrate his life and achievements, so why not give him his last request. We will miss you Fire Lord Zuko, Father, and we will remember you as well. Thank You."

The crown applauded loudly to the speech, but Ralen kept still. Fear. What a powerful word it was when you thought about it. Fear could destroy nations, could conquer worlds, could even bring down...

"Ralen, get up. The parties starting." Right, he lost himself in thought. Turning to his friend, he nodded as he stood. As the two walked to the party, he spoke. "Have you prepared the students Pyrrha?"

"Yes Ralen, Phase 1 is underway. Sun has reported that him and Coco have also found Menagerie again, with the entirety of the Faunus population. They have pledged their support and will return to the main land when called upon." Pyrrha replied formally.

"Good, now we come to the hard part. Telling Korra the plan." Ralen replied. He was thankful that the Collapse didn't claim everyone in the world. Most of the Faunus in menagerie survived the collapse and managed to hide their island and species from the world until they were ready. Ralen had sent Sun and Coco, who managed to get into suspended animation chambers underneath Beacon, with Pyrrha's help. When Ralen woke up, he used his spare time to search for survivors or people related to hunters, and he managed to find the three in the earth kingdom city of Ba-Sing-Se. After that, the rest was history.

"Pyrrha. Return to Lance and wait for my return. Prepare the students."

"Yes sir." And with that, Pyrrha walked away. Ever vigilant. If Ralen knew one thing, it was that Pyrrha could always be counted on. She was his best friend, right after Yang of course. She knew what it was like, Her, Sun and Coco all knew what had happened. But it was Pyrrha who understood. She lost love, she lost family. Sun and Blake broke up, but remained good friends. Coco and Velvet, despite rumors, were never romantically involved. Pyrrha had Jaune. Jaune was her's, Phillip and Eliza were hers. They, were gone as well.

He had reached Korra and Asami, who were talking to General Iroh II, giving their condolences. Ralen then tapped Asami's shoulders. "I know this isn't the time, but could I borrow her for a bit?"

"Well, it's not the best of times, but sure, Ok." Asami replied, as Korra followed Ralen to a small balcony, overlooking the fire-nation. This seemed...poetic. Nostalgic almost. But he didn't care right now.

"Ralen, what do you wish to discuss?" Korra got straight to the point, she always did rush into things. "I've been thinking a lot about the state of the world lately. What its becoming."

"Ralen, it's a party. Get a drink, dance with someone, have fun! We don't live forever." Oh the irony of that statement.

"Just hear me out Korra." She nodded, then he began. "The world is in peace. The nations are getting along, the Spirits are happy, were all safe right?"

"Yeah..Right. We did save the world..."

"But that's wrong." Korra raised an eyebrow at his statement. "Korra, you asked me a long time ago what was it that the Hunters fought, and I answered pure darkness. Well, I think it could come back. A horde of darkness is possible, and no one has means to defend from it. That's why I want to do something...a bit crazy." Ralen paused. Then continued. "I think the world needs the hunters again. It's time we brought them back, officially." Korra's eyes widened at this statement.

"Ralen, No! You can't do that. The world can only have 5 nations. 5. Plus, Raiko would have leverage to declare war on you for starting this! I just can't allow you-"

"Raiko? Leverage? Don't make me laugh Korra! Raiko is corrupt, he can only move his ass to do something if it benefits him. What I'm talking about is a new place were all are welcomed. Bender or not. Human, or something else."

"There is no possible way that I will allow this to Happen. For your own sake, I will not allow it!"

"Korra, you haven't considered the possibilities! I could, We could bring back an entire culture, and we would never have to fear anything again. With the combined strength of the Avatar state and the Hunter will, nothing would be able to stop us from changing the world! All I ask is that you consider it."

"I won't. This is a fool's errand Ralen. The world is as safe as it will be. I don't want to hear this ever again!" The two then glared at each other. Grey eyes meet Blue in a heated mental debate, before Korra marched off to rejoin the party, leaving the Hunter alone. He pulled out a small device, and held it to his ear. "Pyrrha, the Avatar isn't on board...Continue phase 1 as planned. We'll do the first plan." He then put the device away, and looked to the sun from the balcony. It was a beautiful sunset. One that reminded him of her. She always did like the sunsets.

So, that was that! I hoped you enjoyed, and I am now presenting three challenges for all of you readers!
