Beacons RAVE Sinclair Trailer
ESKK: Well time to introduce our antagonist for this fic so let's start.
(Start Story)
Salem glared down upon Ozma as he crawled away leaving a trail of blood in his path. Ozma her love her heart and not only was he conspiring with the Gods who betrayed her… he was basically abducting her children right from under her nose. She had lost too much already and their disagreement had caused them all dearly.
When Salem thought back to it… she wondered where she had gone wrong but she knew where and that was asking the God of Light for his aid. Her tale began like any other but different a long time ago she was known as Salem Raregroove the last living descendant of the cursed Raregroove bloodline. Long ago she was trapped in her tower held prisoner by her own father who would refused to tell her why. Salem knew somehow deep-down he was afraid of another Kingdom War another war between Rave and Sinclair, a war between Etherion and Endless.
It wasn't until one man showed up and saved her from her prison… the 3rd Rave Master Ozma. With the power of the Ten Commandments and his magic he scaled the tower and met her on that fateful day. From then love blossomed between them and despite himself being the Rave Master and herself being of the bloodline of the Rave's enemies they had lived happily for a time. But alas sickness took Ozma away from her as his sword and Plue were left behind in the wake as well as the 5 Rave Stones.
Plue remained with her as a comfort but then it began to go wrong. Salem had gone to the Gods begging them to bring Ozma back to her and when the God of Light denied her request she went to the Dark God. He granted her request… until his brother stepped in and at that moment Salem was forced to watch as Ozma died 3 times in her arm. It was then with his sword and her magic she attacked in a fit of rage.
It was then she was cursed with immortality unable to join Ozma in death and it was with this that she decided to use it to her advantage. She knew she could not wield Rave but she can use magic to make it seem like she could. She went to the leaders of the world passing off as the 4th Rave Master or in this case the 1st Rave Mistress and united them against the Gods. But it was then Salem knew she needed an edge and in turn she traveled with Plue and discovered the Sinclair's Heart. She took it and already she felt its darkness inside that she used it to pass off as the Rave Master and used her magic to disguise the Decalogue to which Sinclair gave her the knowledge on how to create as the TCM.
It was then she and her Raregroove army challenged the Gods only to be defeated again. In her rage her anger the gods were met with the one thing they feared above all else… Endless. It was only a phantom but the phantom alone caused much damage. The Gods had restarted mankind but until they could return Salem was forced to wonder the earth loss and alone. The Ten Commandments began Ozma's grave stone and Plue vanished not long after. She was alone with only the Decalogue and Sinclair who had gone silent as well.
When Salem tried her last effort to end her life she was forever warped and scarred into what she had become. For years she was seen as a Witch and a monster as she lived in solitude desiring her vengeance… until one day a man carrying a familiar sword and Carrot Nosed Dog appeared. Her Ozma had somehow come back to her and with Plue and the mythical Rave Stones the two rekindled their love.
They opted to unite mankind and in turn the new Kingdom was born uniting Symphonia and Raregroove and thus Operia was born. And in turn she had begun a family with Ozma who had begun having his doubts about what they were doing. To the people they were gods and during this Sinclair had answered to her for a time. When she no longer needed it she let it rest as her children held most sway in her heart.
Her daughters… Spring, Summer, Winter, and Fall, and her son… Nightfall Raregroove. Salem as she saw their children grow saw Nightfall was considered he Runt in their family. Though she did not see it that way and for many years he was what most would call a momma's boy. Ozma had his girls so Salem had her boy.
But when they saw their daughters inherit their magic Nightfall was seen to have inherited none of their abilities. Salem maternal instincts when into overdrive to comfort her son telling him that it happens from time to time and she didn't hold it against him nor did Ozma. Plue comforted him as well as her son was forced to rely on Dust for magic. But when she and Ozma had their disagreement on things and later how he tried to seal her children away needless to say Salem was furious.
In turn she brought down the full wrath of a Raregroove upon the Rave Master Ozma and in turn they found themselves here. Salem looked around and saw their family was destroyed her daughters… her boy they were all gone. Salem in turn before Ozma could say anything turned him to ash but she knew he'd be back one day. When this happened Salem saw it Plue glowing and in turn vanishing as she saw four lights scatter across the sky with each holding a Rave Stone within. Salem knew Plue must have used Etherion to escape with the Key Rave as without that Rave Stone the others were useless.
But she did not care for that as amongst the ruins she took her daughters stuff wolf doll and fell to her knees weeping and crying out her anguish. She had lost everything her love, her family, even her humanity. How could he… how could Ozma and the Gods be so cruel to her… If she had the Shadow Master with her she would bring forth Endless and with his power destroy the Gods where they stood and the world with it.
But as Salem's tears sprang loose she heard another whimpering sound. She was wide eyed as she knew that to be her sons as she looked and saw her son Nightfall crawling out of the ruble hurting, bleeding, but healing as well. She ran over to him and cradled him in her arms as he saw her cry out.
"Momma… it hurts." He cried out as Salem was wide eyed as she saw the injuries healed in a similar fashion to her own wounds. It was at this moment that Salem realized her son did inherit something from her, he had inherited a combination of her Immortality and Ozma's reincarnation cycle. He is capable of aging she saw this and healing like nothing. If Salem were to wager she would bet when her son's body reaches the end of its life span it will 'regenerate,' into a new one. Another theory she had was that he aged at a slower past then others. The more he ages the less he grows as she was wide eyed and smiled as she wanted to hug her son close but knew he was hurt.
"Don't worry sweetie… mommy's here." Salem said as she focused on healing her child's injuries as with her magic the healing process began. "And nothing will ever hurt you again." Salem said as it seems something good came out of this for her as while she may live eternally her son will grow old one day but nowhere near. "And together we'll strike back against those who wronged us." Salem said as she hugged her son close while healing him when they both noticed a dark light shining.
They looked as Salem was wide eyed as the Sinclair's heart was shining as it rose from the rubble and shined its dark light upon Nightfall. Salem looked as Nightfall's eyes shined to this as he reached his hand to it as Salem saw this as the Stone floated torts her son. "Dad betrayed us... momma." Nightfall said as Salem saw this and smiled as she would allow this.
Her son was chosen and she will not deny him his destiny as if Endless was on her side for this as well. When the Sinclair reached his hand Salem closed the hand around the Sinclair's heart and hugged her son close healing him. Her child was the chosen one in her eyes and mind he was the one who will put the world back to what it was meant to be. Her child… her baby boy… her Nightfall.
(Scene Break Many Centuries later)
Nightfall now as a 17 year old young man sat upon his seat in a dark room resting his eyes as he waited for his moment. Around his neck was the Sinclair's heart as despite the centuries he hasn't started his search for the other 4 yet… not until the Rave Master begins his search for the lost Rave Stones. As he sat there he soon heard a knock on his door as from it he looked out and saw it was Watts.
"Watts… what do you want?" He asked as he liked to be alone in the darkness.
"Your mother has requested your presence." Arthur said as Nightfall sighed as he got up from his spot in the darkened room which was only lightened by the light from the door.
"Very well." Arthur said as he got up and went to see his mother.
(Later)
Salem was proud of her son in many aspects as she had trained him herself. He may not have wielded magic but with the Decalogue's he had little need for it. But she did not allow him to disregard everything else. Salem had instructed her son to oversee a tower in which they may forge Shadow Stones. With the Sinclair's heart in said ritual area the Shadow Stones were among the strongest there was unlike the other towers they have scattered and hidden across Remnant. Her son was recently given his own to rule and oversee as he saw fit. Of course she had wished her son would be more of a child to take initiative.
But her son's new fortress was still under construction until recently. Now that it's ready she was going to give it to him to do as he pleases. Now if only he would stop taking those he finds attractive but then again since he wanted to rule over people in some way slaves for a harem was what he considered tribute. Despite these flaws she had seen her son was much like Lucia Raregroove reborn to that she at times was weary of him. They shared the same goal and once the Gods were done with Salem cared not for what Endless would do after.
Soon the door opened and her son walked in wearing a set of armor that was a mixture of Lucia Raregroove's armor mixed with that of a Huntsman and a King. Regal, protective, and lightweight for a powerful combination of power, defense, and speed. HE sometimes wears a fur cape over it or a trench coat that uses the Sinclair's Heart around his beck as the mantel. For now though he had not used a cape so his empty scabbard was still on his back with Decalogue waiting with Salem.
"You called mother." Nightfall greeted as lately Salem noted her relationship with her son was strained at times. She was protective of him yes but sometimes she fears Ozma or Ozpin will find Nightfall and try to take him away from her like he had done their daughters.
"Nightfall I had a proposition for you." Salem said as she handed Nightfall the map and opened to point out his new fortress. "In Mistral I've had this tower constructed for you to rule over. I was hoping you may use it as I made sure it was close enough to a village that they will know of you but far enough that they would have to seek your protection from the Grimm since the Tower attracts them like moths to a fire." Salem said as she looked to her son.
"I am… to rule it?" Nightfall asked as he looked to this.
"Yes… once you deal with the local Huntsman they may not be aware but the people there are from an old religion to us from long ago." Salem said as she looked to him. "They will no doubt treat you as a god once you prove yourself." Salem said as she looked to her only living child.
"I understand." Nightfall said as he looked to his mother. "How may I attract the Huntsman?" Nightfall as Salem smiled a bit.
"Just be yourself." She said as the tone and phrase was one that a mother tells their child for a girl they like but for these two it meant for Nightfall to do as he pleases.
"Very well." He said as he then took his leave but also grabbed his sword on the way out as he was not going to leave the blade of the Shadow Master behind.
(Scene Break Mistral Village of HELL outskirts Nightfall's tower a month later)
Nightfall was sitting on his throne with Decalogue in his right hand stabbed into the ground and his head resting on his left hand. Surrounding him was the tributes of riches, food, Dust, and slaves the people had given him. There were also Huntsman Weapons stabbed to the ground trophies of his as he had quiet the kill record on him since some of them was before the Great War. Thankfully Hell was off the map due to its distance making it isolated save for scouts and messengers. The woman who was with him were all wearing skimpy outfits as some of them were like slut maids, others were wearing nothing save for stockings and a collar with a leash.
Of course his throne room had a dark aura to it as it was lit only by blue torches and a skylight for moonlight. There was enough light to walk about but he made it dull enough to be considered dark as well. Plus there were also large amounts of candles as to help Salem had also added electrical system as well so her son can have the benefits of the modern world.
Clearly though Nightfall did not discriminate as his whores were of humans and Faunus. He took great pleasure in breaking each of them one by one. Some of them had stumbled upon Hell and had been taken by the people as tributes to him. But recently one got away from the village and called the Huntsman and Huntresses nearby unaware they were walking into a trap.
Speaking of the world's protectors the doors slammed open as from it a team of four ran in as he saw them all and glared at them. "What the, it's a kid!?" Came a huntsman in shock as he saw Nightfall.
"I don't buy it how can a 17 year old do all of this he should still be in a huntsman academy." Came another as the leader then spoke up.
"Easy we don't know what he can do yet." He said as he saw the slaves, riches, and trophies. "Plus he may use one of those girls as hostages." He said as Nightfall smirked as he began to get back up pushing a girl who was sitting with him down to the ground.
He began to walk torts them as he saw how they began to surround him while he held his weapon of choice. "We can take this kid!" Came another as they saw he was clearly dumb enough to let go of his bargaining chips.
He then grabbed his chalice as he held it up to them almost toasting them for making it this far. "What a timely coincidence." He said holding a chalice in his hand that he had picked up while placing Decalogue in its scabbard on his back surprising the group here. He then tipped the drink over showing it was in fact empty as he looked to them. "I was quiet parched… so I'll think I'll sedate it with a bit of action." He said as he was hoping for some fools to come challenge his rule.
The Huntsman then attacked as Nightfall blocked their attacks with ease as he used his arm to block a sword attack. The Huntsman then fired his gun weapon as Nightfall merely turned his head to the side and threw the Huntsman back. But before he could attack he gasped in pain as he looked and saw the Decalogue was stabbed into him as he didn't even see Nightfall move.
The other three attacked as they saw their ally fall from the blade staining the floor with blood. Nightfall then took his fallen foes weapon and fired it off at the other three as they ran to avoid it. Nightfall scoffed as he got his blade ready. "DARK SILFARION!" He roared out as he then vanished and attacked the three at his speed using the sonic swords dark twin.
He wasn't done as he then dodged gun fire from them as he then glared at them in turn. "DARK MELFORCE!" Nightfall called out as with Dark Melforce he created a vacuum of wind that send slash strikes at the other three Huntsman avoiding his slaves with ease.
When they tried to move though the three were shocked as they were paralyzed as Nightfall scoffed at them. "Sorry… but you are both centuries too early to be a threat to me and lack the power needed to be an actual threat." Nightfall said as he raised Dark Melforce up again. "DARK EXPLOSION!" He roared out as soon he slammed his sword down on a downed Huntsman. When he did the two remaining Huntresses were in shock at what they saw as they saw their leader die in a gory explosion of the weapons name sake as he lifted it up revealing the blade though dull was splattered with their ally's blood as with it splattered across Nightfall's face.
The last two females were looking at this as they got ready for battle but the way he moved and dealt with their allies and teammates made them weary. They nodded to each other as they got ready as they would two prong attack him. This in turn should allow them to keep him distracted long enough to get the girls out.
They then charged at him only for Nightfall to block it with Decalogue. He then kicked the other girl away as when he did this one of the slaves saw this saw the Huntress try to get her free. "Master help!" The slave called as Nightfall heard this as did the huntress as she tried to get them free but they put up a great struggle against being rescued.
Nightfall saw this and scoffed as he then held his blade in both hands as it was time to go for two on one for this little event. "DARK BLUE CRIMSON!" He roared out as he attacked one girl with his crimson sword and blocked the attack from the other huntress with his azure blue sword. He then began duel wielding as he fought off both huntresses with his two swords showing he was truly a master of his weapon of choice.
The two huntresses tried attacking him as he swung the blades about with ease even deflecting and blocking their gun shots at him. He then spun on the ground slashing them both away as he stopped himself using Dark Blue Crimson to stop the mentioned spin. The battle continued as he smirked at his foes scoffing at them in response. He then clashed his swords together and with a roar began a meteor storm of fire and ice as the two huntresses tried their best to avoid the attack.
But as they did so they quickly lost sight of Nightfall as he had one last trick up his sleeve. "DARK RUNESAVE!" He roared out as soon the Huntresses saw Nightfall come at him before he stabbed one of them and pulled back going for the other.
The two huntresses saw this as they glared at him but when they tried to activate their semblances they saw it would not come forth. "I see you've noticed…" Nightfall said as he glared at them as they saw this.
"W-what did you do?" One of them asked as she was shocked as the sword didn't do anything to them physically but maybe it wasn't meant for physical combat.
"I sealed your Semblances and with it your aura you can't use it anymore unless I unseal it." Nightfall said as the woman began to scoot back from him as they looked to each other. "I will though let one of you live… the other will die." Nightfall said as he glared at them as he looked to the two as he glared at them. "So in turn you can either pull the trigger yourselves or you both die." Nightfall said as he took out a hand gun and threw it to the two huntresses.
They saw the situation as not in their favor as they had seen his injuries heal like nothing. The two looked at each other as the partners were forced to choose they both die or one of them die. Be it by fear or cowardice one of the Huntresses acted and went for the gun as her partner smiled at this. But to her shock she saw her partner aim the gun at her instead as she had this crazed look of fear on her face. "I'm sorry." She said before pulling the trigger and killing her friend with tears streaming from her eyes in response. The shot fired as when her friend fell down dead she began to weep tears as in the end she wanted to live and she put her own self survival and self-preservation over that of her best friend and partner.
"Pathetic." He said as he walked over to her as he glared at her and saw her looks for a bit.
"Please let me go." She begged as she looked to Nightfall as Nightfall glared at her.
"No." He said as he then grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up in a choking hold. "I think I'll keep you around just for my own amusement." He said as he then constricted the airflow enough that she in turn passed out as she fell limp to the ground.
Soon he heard footsteps as he looked to its source and saw a young woman with long black hair and topaz colored eyes wearing a red dress like outfit. "Is it time, Cinder?" He asked as he glared at her as the woman named Cinder nodded.
"Yes Salem needs you in the front lines Nightfall." Cinder said as Nightfall nodded to her.
"I suppose it's time to pay dear old dad a visit." Nightfall said as he took his leave as he had two goals in Beacon the Sinclair Shadow Stone hidden there and his father.
