Somewhere,at a forest close to the Sunlight village of Inamorta's south region.Zaven Diaz,a man of 26 years old with dark brown eyes,black and blue hair and a dark tan skin arrives at his home,a cabin near the Sunlight village,his place of birth and Stardust is serving the food for her and her husband and preparing two baby chairs for two little individuals;She has white and red hair and light brown eyes with a little green inside.
At a room with Blue and red colour theme lay two craddles with a baby in each of them.
The first craddle has a slightly dark tan skinned small boy with black and blue hair,dark brown eyes and small hellhound ears.
In the second lays a tan skinned baby boy with white and red hair,his eyes are light brown with red around the ears are hellhound's aswell,but they are white coloured.
Both parents pick up their children.
Zaven:"Time to eat,boys."
He says,carrying Zen as Lydia carried Andrew.
Lydia:"You are such cute angels~"
She puts Andrew on his chair as he giggles happily.
The Faunus family eats happily,both babies making a mess with their food.
Zenareth and Andrew were born at the same day,but they only took most of their parents' looks,being born at August 9th.
[Timeskip:Minutes after they have finished eating]
The twin babies sleep peacefully in their craddles as the happy couple washes the dishes,once they are done with the cleaning a bullhead can be heard descending on the field in front of their cabin.
Zaven:"Huh?Who would come in bullhead to this exact place?" He says as his wife shrugs.
The couple exits the cabin and waits for the bullhead's door to open as a worried Taiyang and ascared Qrow exit with Summer and Raven having stern expressions on their face.
Zaven:"STRQ?Why are you here?"
Qrow looks away,tears threathening to fall,Taiyang sighs.
Summer:"The boys." She pulls out her weapons,two Daggers. "We will take them."
Lydia:"B-but why?" She pulls out her Warhammer,shocked.
Raven:"Atlas has a plan to create supersoldiers using your children's blood,so we thought thry might be tested on at their 12nd or 13rd years old and until then we would keep them with us." She smirks and unsheats her sword.
Zaven:"Qrow,Taiyang!Do something!" He unsheats his blade.
The other two men prepare their weapons.
Qrow:"Sorry Zaven..."
Taiyang:"We can't refuse,they took our families."
Diaz glares at team STRQ for a moment then looks at his wife.
Zaven:"Take them out of here!" His eyes glow as two glyphs appear next to him.
From the glyphs emerge two Shadows that look like Zaven;Suddenly weapons float around him:Knives,maces,swords and axes.
Team STRQ charges,Summer being first;She swings one of her daggers at him,but Zaven parries it away and performs three cuts at her chest then kicks her away,sending some knives to cut her more,making her stagger back with ever slash.
Taiyang rushes next,getting hit by one of the shadows' punch and then getting kicked into the air;after that he gets slashed 10 times at the chest and face then grabbed by his leg and getting slammed against the ground until the shadow throws him against Qrow,knocking both out.
Raven cuts through the shadows and tries to cut Zaven's face,but he blocks the blade and pushes away,rushing at her.
Both swords clash with every swing,sparks flying turns her daggers into a Sniper Rifle and aims at the two fighting huntsmen,trying to focus on Zaven's.
Zaven lands a slash on Raven's shoulder then slashes multiple times at her until breaking her aura then kicks her shoots as the bullet pierces Zaven's shoulder and tears his arm off.
Zaven:"Aaaaaaah!"
He then gets hit by another bullet then followed by another more as Summer charges and starts cutting him multiple times on his chest as his grunts of pain are heard combined with the splatter of blood and the sound of flesh being cut.
Zaven stands without an arm and most of his body covered in cuts.
Zaven:"Do you really expect me to fall that easily!?"
His eyes become pure neon blue with white pupils and iris as many firearms appear floating behind him,he yells as the firearms open fire,bullets hitting repeteadly her and breaking her aura to the point of starting to go into her flesh.
Summer:"Ahhh!"
She throws one of her daggers at him,the time slows down as the dagger swiftly flies through the bullets,nearing Zaven's head,whose eyes are open wide in shock as the dagger stabs into the space between them,the black and blue haired man slowly falling with his eyes slowly becoming dull.
The bullets stop hitting her as she sees Zaven's lifeless body lay on the ground,she walks up to him with an evil smirk on her face.
Summer:"You should have focused in your surroundings too."
She turns to her team,not seeing Qrow unconcious or even in the battlefield.
Lydia runs with her two children on her arms,panting as the twin boys suddenly feels a tug in her heart as she almost dropped the babies,but they were caught by a saddened Qrow,she looks at him scared and ready to attack.
Qrow:"I'm sorry..."
He hands her Zaven's broken blade.
Qrow:"He got shot with poisoned bullets that Summer made herself,I won't let her or Raven catch you."
He puts his hand on her shoulder,looking into her teary eyes.
Qrow:"I will help you to get away from her and to a safe place."
Lydia cries on his shoulder as he silently cries.
Qrow:"I will take you with Kali and Ghira at Menagerie,they will keep you safe."
He holds Zen and pets his small ears.
Qrow:"And I'll stay with you to help take care of the kids."
Lydia kisses his cheek and snuggles on his chest.
Lydia:"Thank you,Qrow."
After some time they walk deeper into the woods,heading to the closest docks to move to Menagerie.
At a boat sailing to Menagerie
Qrow holds Zen on his arms while Lydia holds Andrew,both sitting on a room.
Qrow:"Sorry about Zaven,Lydia." He looks down at Zen,with a sad smile after seeing the baby's peaceful sleeping face.
Lydia:"It's fine,you didn't want to hurt him,I feel bad for what is going to happen to Taiyang."
She rocks side to side Andrew.
Qrow:"I promise i will protect the kids with even my life if i'll have bad luck " He says with a serious and determined face.
Lydia:"Don't worry,your bad luck won't affect me or the kids.I have a the Stars' blessing to protect me."
She looks up at the night sky as Qrow follows her gaze,smiling at the blinking stars and the shattered moon.
Once they arrive,they walk into the town of Menagerie,Qrow walks Lydia through the shops and stands.
Lydia:"It's been a long time since I have been here and seen Ghira and Kali."
Qrow:"Things haven't changed too much here,I also heard that Kali is pregnant since a week."
Lydia:"Good thing you agreeded to stay with us to help me take care of the boys."
Qrow:"Anything for you dear friend."
They arrive and knock on the door,as Ghira Belladonna,current leader of the White Fang,stands in front of them,his eyes open wide,shocked to see Qrow and Lydia.
Ghira:"Qrow,Lydia?"
Qrow:"Ghira,it's good to see you again."
He has a soft smile.
Lydia:"Hi Ghira."
She waves.
Ghira:"What are you doing here?"
Qrow:"We'll explain everything to you if we can get in."
Ghira:"Oh sure,come in,Kali is sleeping now."
He steps aside so both adults can enter the house.
As the babies sleep,the adults are sitting at the table,a cup of tea for eaxh person.
Ghira:"Lydia?"
Lydia:"Yes Ghira?"
Ghira:"I thought you were married to Zaven."
As he asks that,she looks down saddened.
Lydia:"I'm afraid he couldn't come with us."
He looks shocked.
Ghira:"W-what happened?"
Lydia:"Summer and Raven forced Qrow and Taiyang to help take away our children,I ran away while Zaven fought them to buy me time,after some time running,Qrow found me and gave me the horrible news *Sob* but he decides to stay and protect me and the boys now,so I need to stay here,I hope we are not too much of a bother,Ghira."
The taller faunus looks at them thinking then nods.
Ghira:"As your friend,I must help you in the worst can stay."
Lydia:"Thank you Ghira."
Qrow:"Also,Lydia will keep my bad luck off."
Ghira:"Heheheh,that's even better to know."
They drink their tea as Kali is walking down the stairs,once she sees Lydia and Qrow she gasps surprised.
Kali:"Lydia?"
She looks at Qrow.
Kali:"Qrow!?"
As the four adults sit at the table,the two baby boys sleep on a blanket close to them.
Kali:"Honestly,I never trusted Summer,even though she is a Silver-Eyed Warrior,she is one of the few evil ones,like the evil people that mostly exists in the human race and sometimes even in our species."
Qrow:"I didn't want anything to do but they were going to kill Taiyang and me in our sleep if we refused."
Ghira:"How cruel."
Lydia:"We will make sure the boys don't give you too much trouble."
Ghira:"I can always help."
Kali:"So I can."
She gives them a determined face.
Qrow:"Thanks."
He looks at the sleeping male babies,smiling softly.
Years later=
Zen and Andre play with their toys as Lydia is watching them happily,sighing as Qrow gets into his crow form and walks in front of the two boys,Zen is the first to react and hug the crow,making it caw surprised.
Qrow:'Damnit he's strong for his age.'
Andre then joins the hug as Qrow switchs back to his human form,the small boys getting pushed softly by the sudden transformation.
ZA=Zen and Andrew (In other cases would be for several team members)
ZA:"Papa!" They say at the same time showing their little adorable fangs.
Qrow:"Awww." He hugs them as they hug back and wag their little tails happily.

A small girl with cat ears is surrounded by human bandits.
Blake:"Please,leave me alone!I didn't do anything to you!"
Bandit:"Oh but we just want to play with you."
Thug:"We won't hurt you too much if you obey."
As they are slowly creeping to her they suddenly hear a gun being cocked.
Zen:"Leave our schwester alone you perversen!"
He aims a luger a the Bandit's head.
Bandit:"You and who else want to save this girl?"
The thugs behind him suddenly fall dead with their faces swollen and bleeding.
Andrew:"I'm here too,you svoloch'."
The Bandit then gets shot at his knees as Zen aims the pistol to the bandit's head.
Blake:"Big brother,no!"
Zen:"He and his perversen friends tried to do schreckliche dinge to you,schwester!"
Blake:"Please big brother spare him and let him go."
She looks at him with her big eyes making him feel guilty.
Zen:"Aagh, ,dummkopf!Go away!"
He lowers his gun as the bandit limps away,dragging his friends with then pets Blake's head.
Zen:"I guess I would be an horrible das biest without you."
Andrew:"Da!You are our obozhayemyy little sestra."
Blake:"Meow!Thank you big brothers." She says with her red adorable cheeks.
The twin boys hold each of her hands as the trio walks back to their home.
When they enter their home,Lydia stands with her arms crossed and a proud smile.
Lydia:"I see you two are training already."
Zen:"Ja!We have to protect our little Schwester after all." He says and pets Blake again.
Kali:"Hm-Hm-Hm!What a brave young one." She says giggling as the kids go play in the backyard.
Timeskip=
Ages-Zen,Andre:16 Blake:15
At a camp stand back to back Zen,Blake,Adam and Andrew,surrounded by White Fang members and Atlesian soldiers with blue glowing eyes,growling and snarling,limping and crawling aggressively.
Adam:"A moment ago they weren't acting like this!"
Blake:"Even atlesians appeared with those eyes!"
Zen:"Don't worry just shoot at them."
Andrew:"We should keep distance from them."
Zen pulls out his weapons,two Langes messer with a luger barrel at the blade of each sword;He shoots at the zombies as they run up to him,Andrew joins shooting his SPAS to other zombies,Adam slashes and cuts through the zombies as Blake is covering Zen from behind.
Suddenly roaring can be heard as an armoured zombie mech appears and shoots at them,almost everyone takes cover except for Blake who has been tackled by a zombie.
Blake:"Ah!Get off me!"
She shoots at the zombie holding her down and the undead that are approaching her.
Zen:"Blake!"
His eyes flash blue for a moment as he suddenly has a light machine gun,he aims and opens fire,killing the enraged undead and running up to his arriving,he helps her up and shoots the zombie before aiming at the armoured zombie and opening fire then he slices more zombies around him as Andrew is fighting the armoured shoots at the mech to support Andrew.
Andre hits the zombie mech at the sides then swings downward to make it then slices it in half while the armoured zombie tried to get up.
Adam:"Let's get to the bullhead!"
They kewp running and shooting,the zombies falling from the bullets,they all jump to the bullhead,Zen shooting at the zombies that tried to climb in the flying ship.
Once they are out of reach Zenareth checks on Blake.
Zen:"Are you hurt!?Did you get bitten!?"
He asks frantically,checking every spot,accidentaly touching some of Blake's privates but not too much.
Blake:"Big brother I'm fine,they didn't bite me."
The dark haired boy sighs and suddenly the ship starts losing balance in the goes to the pilot to ask wjat is wrong.
Adam:"What the hell is going on!?"
Pilot:"The controls are not responding and we are getting a lot of weight from nowhere!"
Adam:"What?!"
He goes to the trap door to the roof of the bullhead and sees more zombies ripping the wirings of the growls and charges,slicing one zombie's head off;after that he shoots his blade to another zombie,kiling it with the hilt breaking it's forehead;he catches his katana and slices in a circular pattern around him,cutting to pieces the remaining zombies.
Suddenly the bullhead loses control and falls into a clearing...
Blake and her twin step brothers get out of the crashed airship as Adam gets up with a big gash on his chest.
Adam:"Everyone besides me is alright?"
Blake:"Yeah."
Andre:"Safe and sound,comrade!"
Zen:"Everzhing ish foine,ugh,my head hurts a little."
They turn to the source of moaning and growling and see more zombies,the get into battle stance.
Adam:"I'm too tired to use my blade.I need a gun now."
Zen:"Here."
He gives the bull faunus a m1911 colt.
Blake:"We better find more weapons from those dead walking bodies."
Andre:"I say we shoot them down for now."
[Coming home-Elena Siegman Starts playing]
I need you
to sacrifice the vermin martyr
Zen cuts a zombie at the neck then shoots 4 times at another,finishing it with a stab to the chest as it falls limp.
Andre crushes a zombie's head flat then sweeps with his hammer another undead,crushing it's head too.
Bring me back where i say you die
I will make your last words come true
Adam shoots at two zombies in the head then decapites another three behind him;Blake switchs her Gambol Shroud into gun mode and shoots with great accuracy,killing many zombies as they start retreating to the same direcion the bullhead was going before crashing.
Now I know what I must do.
As they run together,zombies start to rise from the dirt as they jump to avoid getting caught by the rising hands.
Now in death!
Adam:"Watch out for the rising!"
Bring me life
All that I will be coming home now
I did it all for you
They reach what looks like an abandoned village and see a long box with an "?" in yellow.
Zen:"Adam try to touch that box!"
Adam complies and taps the box as it opens and many diffrent weapons appear and change diffrently.
Adam:"what the hell?"
Blake:"That's imppressive."
She says while shooting at the approaching zombies with Zen.
I'm becoming real now with all I am
All I am
Suddenly the weapons stop changing and stays floating a MP5,he grabs it and smirks.
Adam:"Nice!"
He goes to help Blake and Zen as Andre touches the box as it starts dinging and rotating from weapon to weapon.
Oh now I tried to separate reality from truth
Now you'll see what I can do.
Bring me life
All that I am will be coming home now
I did it all for you
The box stops at a M249 and Andre grabs it,grinning proudly.
Andre:"Excellent!"
I'm becoming real now with all I am
All I am
With all I am
I swear to you
I'll kill them all
I'll make them suffer
He sees all the zombies that are surrounding them as Adam runs up to Andre.
Adam:"I'l try to contact a camp to rescue us!"
And now in death!
He nods and pulls the trigger,unleashing a wave of bullets to the horde,Zen watches his twin brother.
Bring me life
All that I am will be coming home now
I did it all for you
I'm becoming one will all I am
All I am
I'm coming home now
I'm coming home now
Suddenly,Grimm appear and charge with the zombies as Adam finally joins his teammates and a great battle begins.
I'm coming home now
I'm coming home now
I'm coming home now
I'm coming home now
They are back to back again,the four together,like in that camp,shooting and fighting for their lives,tired but not too much to shoot,the splatter of bloods and guts can be heard as well as the growling,snarling,screaming and moaning of the zombies;and the screeching and howling of the Grimm
I'm coming home now
Coming home
I'm coming home now
Coming home
I'm coming home now
Coming
I'm coming
Home
Blake kills the last zombie,and the boys tear to pieces a Nevermore with their then sigh and wipe the sweat off their foreheads.
Zen:"Zhat better be the only time we have this kind of encounter,I'm low on ammo."
Adam:"I just used the last clip on the nevemore."
Andre:"...Those things weren't people,did you see how their eyes shone?"
Blake:"And they were eating on the dead bodies that wouldn't get it be...zombies?"
The three look at her,Adam is the first to answer.
Adam:"Definetly,they were zombies."
Zen:"But..."
Everyone's attention is on him.
Zen:"Where did they come from?"
As he asks that,a zombie yells,they turn at where the zombie is to see an Atlesian soldier without her legs,growling and snarling,Andre spots a strange crystal that fell from the zombie's pocket,he finishes the undead woman and picks up the crystal;The crystal looks like of dust,but has a bright light blue glow and voices are heard in his mind while he is holding the drops it,gasping and breathing quickly,no more voices.
Andre:"This crystal."
He grabs it,ignoring the faint voices.
Andre:"I'm hearing voices in my head becuase of the crystal,maybe someone had one of these and got cut or something like that,the crystal somehow made contact with the wound and the voices that I'm hearing maybe took control of a miner,making them go cannibalistic and or maybe they found a creature infected by more crystals and that creature infected the people that found it..."
They look at him with their jaws hanging.
Zen:"Mein Gott!Brother that's the most accurate theory!"
Adam:"Actually that is a fact,it would make sense since the Grimm didn't attack them,but they hadn't red eyes or markings,just their red blood."
[Treyarch-Mob of The Dead Secret Ending Song Plays]
A bullhead arrives and takes them home.
Blake:"Big brothers?"
ZA:"Yes Blake?"
Blake:"I was scared."
Zen:"We all just didn't show it."
Andre:"We wouldn't want you to feel hopeless."
Blake:"Hm,thank you big brothers!"
ZA:"You are welcome Schwester/No problem Sestra."
Adam:"You guys rest,you must be really tired after all this trash that happened."
Andre:"Da,my legs hurt."
They all laugh as they are taken to their home land,Menagerie.
