Second trailer: Gold

Enjoy!


The shopping district of Vale was quiet as the day ended, and the shops that lined the street were closing for the night. One particular dust shop, named "Enchanters" was about to close its doors as well. The shop's shelves were lined with a variety of packages, each containing a different assortment of dust. Crystals ranging in various sizes and colors lined the shelves in no particular order as well. A tall skinny boy with shaggy longish blond hair swept the floor of the shop by the window. He had hazel eyes and pale skin, and a kind face. He wore a light blue tunic that usually had a small chest plate over it, but the armor was currently tucked away with the boys weapons in the small apartment at the back of the shop. He wore light brown pants and an old looking pair of sneakers. A few leather pouches rested at his side, filled with various dust crystals.

As the boy finished sweeping, he heard his name being called as one of his younger sisters ran up to him. "Yuan! Yuan! Show me how to do magic!" She said as she waved a small red crystal in her hand, "C'mon show me! Show me!"

"Whoa whoa slow down," Yuan said as he leaned the broom against the wall and knelt down to the small girl. "First off, it's not magic, its dust" he said, picking up one of the packages on the shelf and pointing to the label. "Second, this stuff is dangerous, so I'm gonna have to take that" he said as he held out his hand for the crystal.

"Aww," the girl whined before handing the crystal over to the boy.

"And third of all," Yuan continued, tossing the red crystal in his hand, "I can't do a thing without Morning Star."

"Awwww, pleeeeeeesssseeeee?" His sister said with big eyes.

"Alright alright, you've talked me into it," Yuan replied, ruffling the girls hair as she giggled. Yuan placed the crystal inside the bag at his side.

"You're not going anywhere mister," a voice said from behind the two. Yuan turned and stood up to see his mother standing there, holding a baby in one arm while her free hand was on her hip. "We haven't closed yet."

"We've only got a few minuets before we close," Yuan protested.

"All the more time for someone to come in," his mother replied, but she seemed to be paying only half attention. the baby in her arms began to cry and another toddler was tugging at her leg. "Have you finished packing?" She asked as she rocked the baby.

"I don't leave until next week," Yuan replied. His mother gave him a fleeting but stern look. "Yes..." He sighed.

The small girl at Yuan's side tugged at his leg. "Yuan, I wanna see some magic!" She said.

Yuan turned to face the girl before speaking. "I'm sorry, maybe ill be able to-"

"I'll cover your shift," another voice said. Yuan's only older sibling, Aria, walked over to the group. She had blonde hair like her brother, but had longer hair and seemed a few years older.

Yuan's mother appeared to think about it for a moment as she switched the baby to her other arm. "Alright, fine. But don't go and use any of that in here. Do it outside."

"Yay!" The smaller girl said as she started tugging on Yuan's hand.

"Thanks Aria," Yuan said as he let the little girl drag him away.

"You owe me!" Aria called back. Yuan smiled and waved her off as he entered the apartment behind the shop. The first and largest room of the apartment was a combination of dining and living space. A couch fitted in one side of the room while on the other was a line of counters, and above those were cabinets. A few doors led to the bed rooms and bathroom on the far wall. In the center of the room stood a dining table, with one of its legs propped up with a brick. Around the table stood a abundant of chairs, all different shapes and sizes, though some seemed to be falling apart. On two of these chairs were the last of Yuan's siblings; two brothers that were playing a game of cards.

One of the boys spoke when he saw the skinny boy walk in, "Hey Yuan! We're playing Hunters, wanna join?"

Before Yuan could respond however, the small girl at his side spoke. "Nope! He's to busy showing me magic!"

"What?" The first boy asked, not noticing his other brother sneaking a look at his cards. "Cool! I wanna see too!"

The small girl began to protest before the oldest of the group cut in. "Alright alright, just give me a second to-" A bell chime sounded from the shop across the wall, cutting off Yuan.

"Wonder who could be shopping this late," the younger brother said, looking to the old clock mounted to the wall.

"Don't know," Yuan said, looking to the door to the shop. He had a strange feeling from his aura, like when it warned him from danger. The small girl tugged at his shirt again and started to complain before Yuan shushed her. He placed his ear to the door and listened intently.

"Welcome to Enchanters, humblest dust shop around. How may I help you today?" It was his mothers voice, saying the usual routine for any costumer. Yuan heard multiple sets of feet walking into the shop, almost a dozen from what it sounded like. "You must be the White Fang! We're honored to have such peaceful and influential visitors. If you need anything, just ask."

Yuan heard snickering from a few of the people who entered the shop. Then a voice spoke, apparently coming from a figure of authority, for the other voices silenced when he spoke. "Im glad to hear that. It will make things much easier."

Yuan's mother spoke again, her voiced confused, "What do you-" she gasped as Yuan heard multiple clicks, which sounded like weapons being raised.

"Now that we have the formalities down, we can get to business." The man said. "Empty the cash register." Yuan took his ear from the door and turned to his three younger siblings behind him. They had a look of fear in their eyes, and the little girl was whimpering. Yuan pointed to the children, then to one of the doors at the back of the room, before finally putting his finger to his lips. The boys got the message, and quickly but silently took their sister through one of the apartments doors.

After the door was shut behind them Yuan quickly went to another door and opened it slowly. Inside where three beds, and he quietly hurried over to the small cabinet by the largest bed. Inside was Yuan's small chest plate, which he quickly fitted over his tunic. There was also a large triangular shield, made completely of a silver-like metal. After strapping the shield to his arm the boy turned to the final object inside the cabinet. The swords blade was shiny silver, and the hilt was a circular shape horizontal to the blade, with a hole through the center like a donut. Opposite the blade was the cylinder grip to the sword. Along the outside of the doughnut-like hilt were holes, and Yuan took the red dust crystal he had gotten from sister and placed it into one of the holes with a click.

After taking the sword Yuan silently left the room and went back to the door that led to the shop. He slowly opened the door and slipped inside the store before hiding behind one of the shelves. He almost didn't notice Aria hiding behind a shelf as well, holding the toddler that had tugged on his mother earlier. She let out a small gasp when she saw Yuan, but quickly covered her mouth with her hand. Yuan motioned her to go and hide in the apartment, but she scrunched her eyebrows and shook her head as if to say 'I'm not leaving you'. Yuan rolled his eyes and motioned again, but this time he also pointed to the child in her arms. She sighed and reluctantly edged to the door and was quickly out of sight.

After Aria was gone Yuan carefully looked out from behind the shelf. Almost a dozen Faunus stood around the counter where his mother frantically tried to pull money from the register and into a bag. Almost all the men had strange masks covering their faces with slits for eyes save for one. The Faunus without a mask must have been the one who Yuan had heard earlier, as he was the one closest to the counter and giving the orders. He wore a black fur coat and metal bands on his wrist. He had two wolf ears on his head along with long slick black hair, and when the man turned to speak with the Faunus next to him, the boy saw a bandage covering the mans left eye.

The baby Yuan's mother was holding began to cry, and the masked goon closest to Yuan growled before speaking. "Shut up!" The baby cried louder, and many of the other Faunus started to get angry as well. Yuan took the opportunity and snuck quietly from behind the shelf. Yuan's mother saw the boy and stopped dead in her tracks. Yuan motioned for her to get down, but she stood frozen. The Faunus in front of Yuan spoke again, drawing his sword. "Hey, I told you to shut up, not freeze!" The Faunus was about to walk forwards towards the women, but Yuan struck the back of his neck with the hilt of his sword.

The man collapsed, but another Faunus turned to look at Yuan angrily before swinging his sword. Yuan blocked the strike with his sword before smashing his shield against the Faunus, knocking him out cold. Yuan's mother seemed to come to her senses and ducked down under the counter. The unmasked Faunus with wolf ears turned to Yuan and growled. "What do we have hear?" The man said, "Don't you know to stay out of grown up business kid?" Two Faunus appeared behind Yuan with swords raised, while two more next to the man pointed pistols at the boy.

"You don't like it, come and get me wolfy," Yuan said, raising his shield. The wolf Faunus growled again and motioned the other Faunus to attack. The two with pistols opened fire, but Yuan raised his shield and the shots bounced harmlessly off it. The other White Fang behind Yuan charged, swords raised. The blonde boy quickly ducked and rolled out of the way, putting the charging Faunus directly in the line of fire for the pistols. One was hit and fell to the ground, but the other avoided the shots, only for Yuan to slam his shield into the Faunus's side. The masked Faunus fell to the ground, and Yuan looked back up to the lead Faunus. The two White Fang soldiers at his side had stopped firing and were looking at their comrade that had been hit with their fire.

"Why are you not firing! Kill him!" The man ordered, making the other two jump as they raised their weapons and fired again. Yuan rolled out of the way in between two of the tall shelves. He stood up only to hear a shout behind him, and he turned to see another White Fang member charging him with his sword drawn. He raised his his shield and as the blade collided with it the metal on metal rang. The Faunus dropped his blade and clutched his hand before he was knocked to the ground from a hit from Yuan's shield.

Two more of the White Fang appeared on either side of the isle, swords raised. "Let's get em!" One said, and they both charged. Yuan pushed down on the red crystal in the hilt of his sword with a click, and the blade erupted into flame. The Faunus stopped in their tracks, one of them saying; "What the?" before Yuan slammed his shield into the stunned man. The second Faunus took a swing at the boy, but Yuan paired away the strike, slicing the White Fangs sword with his fiery blade. The Faunus looked down at the melted stub of metal in his hand before turning and running right out of the shop.

Yuan chuckled as the fire died out from his sword, the red crystal was completely deteriorated. Then he heard a sound from behind him and whirled around to see the wolf Faunus standing there with the two other White Fang members. The two grunts no longer held pistols though. Those had been replaced with much larger rifles, and were aimed right at the blonde boy. "What's the matter, afraid to face me alone?" Yuan said, pointing his sword at the man.

The Faunus made a noise somewhere between a growl and a chuckle before speaking. "Your in no position to make any sort of statements." The man motioned to the men on either side of him, "kill him." The Faunus opened fire onto the boy. His shield was just large enough to protect him from the hail of bullets, but the constant impact began to push him back. The gun shots ricocheted off the shield and hit the shelves. One of the shots flew into one of the larger crystals that stood with many others. The crystal shattered, causing an enormous explosion to rip through the shop, launching Yuan back through one of the shop windows. He landed hard on the pavement and his vision went blurry.

Yuan sat up and looked around. His vision was beginning to clear but his ears were still ringing. He could faintly hear sirens blaring, and when his vision cleared he saw his family shop, "Enchanters". But it was smoking, glass was broken, and three men walked out of the building and walked towards Yuan. He shook his head to try and clear his vision. He saw his shield to far away to reach, but his sword was still at his side. He staggered upright, clutching the sword, then reached inside his bag and placed more crystals in the hilt until it was filled with six.

The wolf Faunus laughed when he saw the boy. "Still got some fight in you huh? What're you gonna do without your shield?"

"I... I still got..." Yuan stammered to speak, his ears were still ringing. He raised his sword and pointed it at the man.

The man laughed again, louder this time. "Suit yourself," he said before speaking to the other two. "Shots wide open. Try and do it right this time." The Faunus lifted their guns to point at Yuan, but before they could shoot Yuan transformed his weapon. The grip extended multiple feet, and the hilt folded outward to create a sun shape. After the transformation the sword had become a spear-like staff. Yuan concentrated his aura and a white crystal on the staff began to glow.

The men aimed and fired at the boy, but Yuan raised his staff and a white bubble shield appeared around him. The shots bounced off the shield and flew into the pavement and air, forcing the men to stop firing as they took cover. As the shield faded another red crystal on the staff began to glow. Yuan swung the staff in an arc in front of him, creating two large fireballs that launched at the Faunus. The fiery missiles spiraled through through the air and exploded on the ground near the White Fang, throwing the two grunts back and sending up a billow of smoke.

The leader wolf Faunus appeared from the cloud of smoke, brushing himself off. Yuan swung the staff around and took a defensive stance as the man stopped a few meters away. "You want something done, you gotta do it yourself." The man muttered, before raising both his hands. The bands on his wrist extended and folded outwards, covering his hands like metal gloves. Metal blades like claws extended from each finger. The man flexed his gloved hand before growling and charging at Yuan. The blonde boy raised his staff and yelled out a battle cry before charging as well. When the two got close the Faunus jumped over the boy and landed behind him, slashing with his claws. Yuan raised his spear behind him and blocked the attack. The man continued to slash at the boy relentlessly, barley leaving Yuan time to make any strikes as he blocked the onslaught. The boy took a swing at the mans head with the bladed staff, but the Faunus caught the blade and kicked Yuan in the chest, launching him back. The boy landed next to his shield, coughing. He looked to see the wolf Faunus still holding the blade of the staff, observing the weapon. "What quality metal. It's a shame it had to be wasted on a human such as yourself. I think I'll keep it as a trophy."

"That's... mine..." Yuan coughed, which only seemed to amuse the man.

The Faunus laughed before answering. "Oh really? Why don't you take it from me then."

"Gladly," the boy grunted, raising his hand towards his weapon. A purple crystal on the hilt of the staff began to glow, until a bolt of electricity surged through the staffs blade and into the Faunus holding it. The man yelled as he was shocked, and Yuan picked up the shield next to him and threw it at the mans chest. The shield impacted and knocked the man down, and the staff fell to the ground.

The sirens got closer and multiple police cars and fire trucks appeared around the corner of the street. Yuan saw the wolf Faunus drag himself from the ground before quickly slipping into the shadows, then his entire family emerged from the burning shop. His mother and multiple emergency medics rushed to Yuan's side before he finally collapsed.
