"*YAWN* Geez! How have we walked this much and NOT reached the mission grounds yet?" Xuya said as him and his team walked towards the rendezvous point of the mission.
"Now,now we're almost there." Kiruko said as she waved her hand at the boy without looking at him. "Wahh! Leader look there's the entrance gate!" Wendy said in excitement. "The ruined villages before us is the first location for our mission." Kirin confirmed.
As they approached the gate they noticed people from the kingdoms doing some warm-ups before they start. "Looks like there are a lot of people with no fear of death!" Xuya exclaimed with a toothy grin.
Suddenly they looked to the sound of girls screaming in delight, as they surrounded a tree with a guy in it. He was wearing a sleeveless black hoodie with the hood up, short, spiky, white hair, black elbow gloves that have white stripes on them. A pair of black pant with zip seal pockets on both sides, and black and white laceless shoes. "KYAA! His face is sooo charming!" one girl said.
"YAAA! He looked this way! Yishang Gu totally just looked at me! OOOHH I'm gonna faint!" Another girl shouted as she fanned herself with her hand. "Little Yishang, come down and let's talk!" " Yeah! Yishang form a team with us?" two girls shouted.
"You give up Little Yishang already agreed to form a team with us!" one girl with little backpack that had an '8' on it. "Only people as cute as me and Xiaoba are fit for him! Everyone else should get lost!" a girl with a '3' on a little backpack.
"Shut up Xiaoshan! This is just a fluke!" a random girl shouted. "...So noisy." Yishang said with a emotionless expression through closed eyes. Suddenly his eyes shot open; revealing his green eyes and said "Now… our mission will start!"
Two people were now standing in front of the previously vacant gate area. Xuya gave a deadpanned look at who stood there. It was his two friends Amy and Larxes.
"Hey! Listen up! Before you all start I'll explain the rules so pay attention!" She shouted in a commanding voice, which worked cause everyone fell silent. "Yo! Amy you're up!" "Okay!" Amy responded by stomping the ground causing a pillar of earth to rise up. Larxes followed by shooting a bolt of thunder at the side, and etched a map into the side.
Everyone except Xuya; who had a smirk on his face, looked on with awe struck looks. "If you can't tell by now, this is a map of the current mission grounds. Soon me and Amy will give each team a stack of "Tracking" charms provided by the Hei family. Your main objective of this mission is to stick your team's charms on the enemies from here on out. This course is divided into three areas, and each area contains different level Grimm, and Demons. Because of this they are not worth the same. Area three has very low leveled enemies, they can be easily subdued by just attaching the charm. Each is worth five points. Area two is filled with medium level enemies; you'll have to exert some effort to capture them. Each is worth 50 points. Area one, at the end, has four especially high leveled enemies. Each is worth 1,000 points! In other words if your team captures an especially high leveled enemy then you have won automatically. But, given your mediocre skills and will power, only those looking to die should feel free to try!"
After her long explanation everyone had freaked out expressions. Even Xuya was taken aback by this. He also could've sworn he caught the scent of someone wetting themselves.
"Geez Larxie! Don't kill their vibe like that. It looks like I'll have to make things clear." Amy put on a bright smile that seemed to calm them down a bit.
"The Mission has three periods in total. Each has a period threshold. If your team doesn't reach the threshold within the period, then you will fail and have to return back here until a winner is decided." She then pointed to small chart with "100" on the top, "500" in the middle, and "2,000" at the bottom. "These are the points required for each period, and when the mission is over the team with the highest score will receive the reward money!" she said the last part with enthusiasm.
"Hooray!" Xuya shouted with the crowd as his team looked at him with small smiles. "Leader really loves money huh." Wendy said with a chuckle. "You have no idea…" Kiruko said with a sheepish laugh.
Once everyone received the charms Larxes stood in front of the gate to the city, and kicked the door in. "What are you little snots waiting for? Your mission has already started!" She shouted as she turned around.
Everyone rushed forward, and scattered into the city. As Xuya passed Larxes they did a quick fist bump with smirks. "Good luck Xuya!" Amy shouted with excitement, to which he responded with an appreciative thumbs up.

"Strange, how come I can't see any trace of anything?" Xuya questioned as he looked at the abandoned buildings before him. He began to zip around the area searching for anything the objectives "This place is more dead than a zombie! Is anything even here? Come out wherever you are! Oi Oi Vixen Tree!"
"Xuya, please don't run around aimlessly." Kirin said with a extended hand telling him to 'wait'. Kiruko nodded in agreement and began to speak "She's right you know. Once they smell the delicious "food" that we are, they ought to come out runnin'!"
But before Xuya could respond he heard something from around the corner. "DENG! DENG! DENG!" five hopping zombies came from above and landed around them. "Wendy! Use that technique from earlier!" "Y-yes! Right away leader! VERNIER!" She chanted as the remaining members were surrounded by a sky blue aura.
"Whoa! My body feels super light!" Kiruko shouted in surprise. "This feels amazing! As expected from a member of one of the dragon clan's." Kirin praised Wendy, to which she responded with a light blush.
"Hehe! You guys are tooo slow! You should give up on touching a single hair on us!" One zombie lunged forward at Xuya, to which he dodged. "Illusion Technique: Instantaneous Escape!" He dodged the first attack and began to move around the zombie to confuse it.
He then flipped over the zombie, reached into his pouch, slapped a charm on the back of it's head, and nimbly landed behind the zombie. "Easy! The first enemy has been claimed by Xuya XiaoLong! Hehe...Eh!" His victory was short lived as he was now surrounded by the other zombies, and a single Beowulf.
"Dummy; we just told you not to let your guard down!" Kiruko scolded as her and Kirin charged forward. " Wait, you guys are suppose to be the dumb and easy ones!" Xuya shouted in false confusion.
"Xuya, watch out below!" Kirin unsheathed her sword and stabbed it into the ground and like Amy caused a pillar of rock to come out. Not only did it hit the zombies, but it also hit Xuya in the family jewels "GAAA!" He shouted in pain as he hit the ground face first.
"Th-Thanks for warning me at least…" he said in a slightly higher pitched voice. "My turn now!" Kiruko said with a grin as she threw 5 charms in front of her. Thanks to the boost in speed; she swiftly attached the charms to the remaining zombies, and Beowulf.
"Xuya, don't underestimate these low leveled enemies. They may not be strong, but they are used to working in groups." The green haired woman reprimanded the boy.
"Un-Understood. I won't be so daring next time! Ugh!" he groaned out as Wendy rub his back.

"Ouch that looked like it hurt" Raven winced at the event that transpired on the holo TV. "The new comers are so lively. They are making this look easy! Don't you think Rave?" "This is just the calm before the storm. They don't know yet, but the difficult part is awaiting them! The enemies in area three are easy, but they will come to the realization that there are not enough for everyone to advance." Rave explained with closed eyes. "Ah I see...Then that means that they will have to make a choice. They can choose to press on to the other areas...or they can choose to go after "easy prey…I hope it doesn't come to the latter." Summer then took on a worried expression that went unnoticed by Rave as she was to focused on the screen.
She could have sworn she saw unnatural movement on one of the rooftops, but couldn't catch what it was before the display charms cut to a different team.

…
As he was walking forward he was using his hand as a visor as he was searching for an sign of Grimm or Demons. They currently had a score of 40. "Eh? How come I can't see anymore signs of Grimm or Zombies? I was just getting warmed up!"
Kiruko seemed to be in deep thought. 'If there were enough enemies in the first area to advance, then this would be too easy...And given the current situation, it seems all enemies in area one are captured. What will everyone else do if there isn't anything else to capture.'
Xuya's ear twitched under his headband as he head a light buzzing coming their way. "Everyone look out!" He shouted as everyone followed suit and scattered. The light buzzing was caused by a energy beam; that collided with a nearby building.
"Hey you bunch'a chumps! Behave and hand over your shit otherwise… WE'LL BEAT YA AND TAKE'EM BY FORCE!" Said a woman in what looked like a skeleton inspired outfit with a skull on the hood that was over her face. The same could be said about her team as well.
"Tch. To think that there were people low enough to try and steal from others!" Xuya grunted out with his arms crossed. "Ding! Ding! You guessed right kid! From the very beginning that boy has been our target!" Xuya looked at them with a raised brow. That quickly was replaced with a toothy grin, as he punched his open palm. "Personally I don't give an Ursa's left nut who you are! But we won't just sit here and wait to die! Get ready guys!"
But before he could respond Kiruko stepped forward with her bladed tonfas drawn. "Hold on you guys! Xuya, if you don't mind, but i'll handle this. No matter what, I insist that we do this fairly. I refuse to use underhanded methods to win!" The young Black Dog responded with a smirk.
"What? Vomit head want's some? Fine then! I'll handle you myself. However if I win you hand over your enemies. But if you win; which you won't, then we'll hand over ours. Deal?" Kiruko nodded in agreement "Whoa, whoa lil' miss Reaper wanna be, Don't take things too far!" Xuya shouted at the woman, as Kiruko turned to the others with a big smile.
"Don't worry I won't lose!" "TSK! Whatever! But I can't promise that I will idly stand by and watch you fail the mission!" She responded with a thumbs up. The skeleton clad woman summoned a electric guitar and strummed the strings, and sent monstrous looking music notes made of energy. "BEHAVE AND ADMIT DEFEAT!" The woman shouted.
"Kiruko watch out!" Xuya shouted out. Kiruko dropped her smile to a serious one and sliced all the energy notes out of the air in one swift motion. "OH HO HO! Looks like you're not that bad. THIS SHOULD BE FUN!"
The green haired woman kicked off the ground and dashed towards the other woman. "Sorry, I really don't have a lot of time to waste on this. So...BEGONE!"
"Hmph! That kind of attitude means you're not taking me serious. It really pisses me off! Take this JEALOUS MELODY." She then started to move like a rock-star performing on stage. The energy notes seemed to move in a pattern as Kiruko maneuvered past them.
"With this sort of thing...Even if there were more you still wouldn't be able to hit me!" She then hit the ground with the tip of her tonfa, causing a chunk of rock to prop up like a shield that broke to pieces. Kiruko then jumped from rock to rock, until she was above the hooded woman. "It's over!" She shouted as her tonfas were lit ablaze using fire magic.
"Well...You're not wrong!" Suddenly Kiruko stopped suspended in the air. "What's going on? Did she just stop mid air?" Kirin questioned.
"Hehehe! You fell right into my trap, vomit head! Did you think that my music was just a form of attack magic?" "What?" Kiruko said surprised.
"It's also a sealing magic! After you moved together with the melody, you fell into an invisible score and became part of the music! Now that you are part of my music, I can completely control your movements. Once I stop playing, you can't move a step! I was saving this for Xuya back there but you'll do for now." The hooded woman explained.
"Leader, Do you know that person?" Wendy questioned, as she tilted her head up at him. "Not in the slightest." He said with a shrug. Unknown to him the hooded woman grew angry at what he said.
"YOU WHAT!? That's it! ROCK ON!: PSYCHO SCREAM." A much larger version of the energy notes came toward the still mid air Kiruko "WHAA!" Xuya and the others took on worried expressions.
As Kiruko started to get up a barrage of energy notes came towards her "HA HA HA! I WON'T GIVE YOU TIME TO CATCH YOUR BREATH! SURRENDER, GIRLY!" The green haired woman began to dodge the oncoming attacks.
"You can't escape my Jealous Melody!" the hooded woman reminded her as one of her attacks connected, sending Kiruko airborne.
"Damn, if thing continue like this, it won't end well!" Xuya said as he charged after the hooded woman. "Reaper wanna be! You're mine!"
But before he could reach her, another woman appeared in a similar attire but the top was made into a crop top, she was wearing a long skirt, and heels. She also had a pair of drumsticks with large tips.
"Whats next a damn Tamborine? Screw off! Get out of my way!" Xuya shouted as he cocked back his fist. "I won't let anyone interrupt my sister's performance!" she responded as she twirled the drumsticks in her hands, and slammed them on the ground as an energy shield appeared.
Once his hand made contact with the field it damaged it enough to make it bleed. "WUAH! What is this hard magic thing?" "You... If you want to to learn something and not get hurt then sit back and be a good audience!"
"Xuya…" Kiruko groaned out. "Don't worry about him right now! JEALOUS MELODY!" The woman shouted with irritation in her voice. "Kiruko!" Xuya shouted with worry in his voice.
He then turned back to the woman in the energy field. "You guys are really rustling my jammies! Do you think this can stop me?!"
"Xuya! Stop!" The green haired woman shouted at her leader, who stopped mid swing. "I said that I wouldn't lose, right?" "That's true...But I also said that I wouldn't sit and wait to die!" "Xuya...I recommended you to the guild because i believed in you. So can you try to believe in me?"
The young Black Dog and the green haired woman exchanged looks for a moment. "Things have gotten this point and you still don't have a clue... I WON'T FORGIVE YOU!" the guitar woman then sent out more energy notes. "I've had enough!" Kiruko mumbled under her breath.
She then started to wave her tonfas around as she combined her fire magic, and rock dust into a giant mass. "This where it truly ends! FEROCIOUS SHARK COMET!" she shout as she thrusted her arms forward, and the mas formed into a Great White shark made of fire and rocks.
"I-Isn't that a bit overkill?" the guitar woman said breaking out into a nervous sweat. After the attack reached her an explosion followed up. Once the dust cleared an energy shield was standing before them.
"What are you doing butting in like this? I haven't lost yet!" "Still talking tough Fu? Just shut up and admit defeat!" the two sisters argued.
"Even my DRUM-WAVE WALL was breached from her attack. Your strength is not enough to beat her! Besides I can't continue to watch you behave like a grade schooler with a crush. So let your big sister help you out!" The woman with the drumsticks said with a smirk.
"Tch...Fine I give. You won." The woman said with her head lowered. As the shield disappeared, they handed over their Grimm and Demons as promised. But before team Xuya walked of the woman with the guitar got Xuya's attention
"Oi! Boy! Do you really have no idea who I-huh?" she asked, but didn't realize that they left as soon as the received the Grimm, and zombies "OH COME ON!"

Kiruko glomped him into a bear hug from behind, and her generous bosom was on his back. "See~ what did I tell ya? I won!" "Yeah, yeah" he said with a light blush, do to his current situation, but that stop him from petting her head.
"Stop! We haven't finished our business XiaoLong!" the woman shouted. "Geez! You again? Didn't we settle this not too long ago?"
"I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT A WHILE AGO! SINCE THERE IS NO WAY TO DEFEAT YOU I WILL MAKE EVERYONE FAIL THIS MISSION!" The woman shouted with a wild smile.
"Wait, Fu! Don't do something stupid!" The woman with drumsticks said a little too late as Fu started to play a song. "ROCK ON!: MADDEN LULLABY"
"You still want to fight? We already know how your attacks operate!" Kirin shouted as she covered her ears. "What a sore loser~" Kiruko sighed out.
"Heh! Not this song! It's no use covering your ears... For people, this song is like a sweet lullaby. But when Grimm and Demons hear it they will rise up in a mad riot!" As she said that the current Beowolves, and Hopping Zombies began to rip off their charms and started to destroy everything in sight.

…
Summer and Raven were staring at the screen with wide eyes as and worry, as the once tame zombies, and grimm suddenly started to go mad, and the camera feed suddenly cut.
Summer then tapped Raven on the shoulder, and then pointed at the door not saying a word. Rave didn't need to be told on what Rose mama wanted, and got up and opened a portal to grab Qrow.

"Xuya, Kiruko, Wendy! We have to stop her. WUAH! You all are already asleep?!" Kirin shouted as she looked upon her sleep standing teammates. A zombie was heading towards Xuya, but was stopped immediately by a Kick delivered by the young tiger faunus. "Leave him alone!"
"Come on guys, wake up!" she said with ears still covered and her tail coiled around the hilt of her sword defending against the claws of a Beowulf.
"Hey! Lady, stop! If this continues everyone will be in danger!" Kirin pleaded, but the sleep-strumming Fu made her deadpan. "...O-Of course she's asleep too! How are her hand still moving?!"
'Maybe if i wake her up..." Kirin thought as she kick a nearby rock at Fu's head, to which she dodged. 'HOOWW?' she thought as she continued to kick rocks at Fu, who unconsciously dodged them all.
The tiger faunus was tackled by a Hopping Zombie, and a couple followed after it. But before she could retaliate she heard someone mumbling chants. The voice belonged to Yishang who had two fingers in front of his face.
"STOP!" To Kirins surprise, the zombies and grimm did as he said and bowed before him. "Y-Yishang?" He then widened his stance, over lapped his hands in front of him, and thrust his hands out as he kicked up a gust of wind that sent his charms out around him.
'H-How did he do that?' Kirin thought in confusion of the power before her. As the wind subsided, and his charms were on the grimm and zombies; he straightened his stance "Now everything is fine."
"Thank you...But, um, can I ask another small favor of you?" She asked with a sheepish look as she gestured towards Fu. "...!" He widened his eyes for a split second and sighed as he smashed a rock against her head.
"Thank you again for your help, Yishang. You really saved us!" Kirin shouted as she franticly bowed in thanks. The hooded boy just waved her off "No need to thank me...I already have the threshold goal for the first period." Kirin then took a look around and noticed the enemies the captured were now his.
"Well I'm off!" He turned on his heel and started to walk off. "Hey! Stop you little thief!" Xuya shouted with anger causing Kirin, and Yishang to turn around. "Stealing from me while I am sleeping is not that simple!"
Xuya then started to glare, and let out a low growl at Yishang. "W-Wait! It's not like that. Yishang just saved us…" Kirin said a little intimidated at the current Xuya.
"Thanks for your meddlesome help, but give up on taking what's mine!" They were silently staring each other down. For some reason the hooded boy's silence made Xuya even more mad.
"I've had enough of people obstructing me. Starting now I'm going to use my own methods to handle things!" he said as he narrowed his eyes. He then rushed at Yishang with his fist cocked back and shouted with fury "EVERYONE BLOCKING ME FROM COMPLETING THIS MISSION SHOULD JUST DISAPPEAR!"
As he thrusted his fist forward Yishang began to glow a white aura and thrusted his palm up to Xuya's ribs. "So impulsive...Do you wish to kill me?" he said with his palm still on his chest as Xuya began to sweat nervously.
Gu then released the energy stored in his hand and unleashed it into Xuya, causing multiple white energy beams to come out the back of his torso. Kirin looked on in fear at the scene before her. 'What was that just now...An illusion?'
'Wh-What the hell was that?' Xuya questioned as he dropped to his knees, gripping his stomach, and breaking out into a cold sweat. He the doubled over with one arm struggling to hold himself up. "D...Damn it…*COUGH* *COUGH*...WU!"
"Xuya! Are you okay?" Kirin asked worriedly as she started rubbing his back. Yishang slipped the same hand into his pocket and turned to leave, but turned his head to still look at them. "Don't worry. He's temporarily immobilized. You should pay more attention to your leader...Perhaps one day his impulses will get him killed!" He took one look at the three people in bone clothes, and a certain rooftop before walking off. 'Speaking of teammates...How come I don't see his?' Kirin thought as she looked around for his missing teammates.

Konoha Village Entrance 11:15
…
Petty and Baiken were making their way to Xuya, when Baiken's scroll went off. Momoko in her office came on the screen, but before she could speak Yuzuriha pushed her way in the camera view.
"Petty! Baiken! Where are you?" She shouted at them. "Oi! We're right here no need to shout!" Petty shouted back. "Is something the matter?" Baiken questioned.
"Yeah! We just saw our little Shin being attacked by a riot of monsters! And then the broadcast suddenly cut out!" "What?" Petty said in surprise. "Calm down I'm sure he's fine, but if it'll make you feel better I will look for him." "HURRY UP!" She demanded as Baiken started to focus on the observation charms.
"Found them! Looks like they're heading into Timber Woods!" Baiken said a little too happily. "So my little Shin wasn't hurt? That's great! That was all!" she said in relief as she hung up. "So we just gonna ignore that you just sounded like a scho-" Petty started to say with a toothy grin, but stopped as she felt Baiken's sword against her neck, and a deadly glare directed at her. She started to sweat nervously and put her hands up in defence.
"Okay, okay! Geez! But seriously what do you think caused the interruption just now?" She asked as Baiken re-sheathed her sword, and relaxed her look. "The only possibility seems to be that the observation charms were destroyed. Momoko put an innumerable amount of charms all over the place; which probably explains why she was so drained the other day." "But wasn't there a riot of moster's? Could it be those monsters destroyed the charms" Petty said putting her hand to her chin. "That seems to be the case. After all no members would intentionally destroy the charms that were keeping them safe, right?"
But somewhere in the forest Yishang stood before a pile of observation charms, and proceeded to destroy them. Then he turned and held his hand out, and summoned the charms he put on the monsters and destroyed them as well. "Go do what you must do!" "WE OOOOOBEY!" The zombies shouted as the grimm howled out and dispersed. "Now. my plans will come along faster!".
…
Timber Woods 4:30 P.M.
…
Xuya and Kirin were facing off against a mid-level zombie. It swung it's hand down, but was too slow to hit them as the back flipped out of the way. "So this is a mid-level zombie huh? This one is especially ugly!" He said causing light chuckles from his teammates.
"SILENCE BOY!" The zombie shouted as it thrusted it's living tongue at the two in front of it. Through the cloud of dust it kicked up, Xuya bursted out of it with impressive speed. "TOO SLOW, TOO SLOW! Take my charm attack!" he exclaimed as he slapped his charm on it's face.
"Easy Peasy." He said as he landed on the ground, but was stopped short by the zombies tongue. "Ha ha ha! Did you think you could capture me with a single charm? You're too naive!"
Kirin then slashed the zombies face with her sword. The zombie retaliated by swinging a gust of wind her way; which she dodged, but Wendy barely did. She looked over her stuffed animal/backpack to make sure it was still in tact. She sighed and hugged it as the button eyeballs popped of.
"*Sniffle* Nooo, Carla *sniffle*" Wendy started to tear up. Xuya and the zombie started to have a light conversation "Your previous attack must've broken her toy; adults who make kids cry are the worst! You should apologize to her right away!" "Wu, I'm really sorry…" they the started to stare at eachother "..." "..."
"WHAT THE FUCK! I DON'T CARE ABOUT HER STUPID TOY! HOW DARE YOU MESS WITH ME!" The zombie shouted in a fit of rage as xuya grabbed Wendy with a goofy look on his face.
"Since it looks like we're gonna have to use force to capture it. Looks like it's time to revisit that Black Blood technique from before!" He said as he moved his thumb to his mouth.
"FEROCIOUS SHARK COMET" Kiruko shout from the side of the two "GAAA!" The zombie shouted as it was hit with her attack. "Phew luckily I was just in time! This move requires a lot of magic energy than I thought" she then knelt beside the zombie and put out the flames. They now had 50 points.
"Well then, since it's hard work, why not let me use that technique to handle things?" Xuya questioned. "Ah...Um, because…" she pondered on how to answer him, as she looked to Kirin, who was consoling the young dragon faunus.
"Could it be that you don't want them to see my true face?" he asked with a slight sad look. "No! In fact I was just worried that you wouldn't win. We can't exactly finish without our leader" She responded "WHAT?" Xuya responded with a murderous expression
"Great now we need 50 more points to advance." she said ignoring him. "Hold up! If you really doubt me, then who was the one who was spewing that sappy shit, about believing in me?!" The young Black Dog shout out "I do believe! I believe that you would have lost.." "WHAT DID YOU SAY!"
As they were doing their own things, they were to distracted to notice the zombies tongue slither out. It slapped away Kirin, coiled around Wendy, and slithered away. "KYAA! Leader help!" "Huh?"
"What? The tongue was another mid-level zombie?" Kiruko said in surprise, as Xuya sprinted forward with a big smile. "Great! We got one without any effort!"
Kiruko was about to go after him, but fell over due to her magic being drained "Damn I used that move too much! I need to gather Magic energy!"
"Yo Kiruko, why don't you take a nap? I'll handle this little zombie in no time! Don't run, you malnourished zombie!" Xuya said in a mocking tone. "Who are you calling malnourished boy?" the zombie said from the tree it hid inside of. "What?" Suddenly it doubled in size, as it broke the tree apart.
"What kind of zombie is this? Does this even count as one!" Xuya shouted. " Mid-level zombies have lived for more than a century; much like an alpha type grimm. With practice, they can change their forms at will, and they need that special hat to count as one!"
"Thanks for answering, but…" He started to say before he was smacked hard by the zombies tail "NOW REALLY ISN'T A GOOD TIME FOR EXPLANATIONS!" he shouted while flying into a tree.
"Xuya" Kiruko said. They began to start to attack the zombie, but it moved Wendy in front of it. "What are you two thinking of doing? Do you intend to burn and slash up this girl with me?" "Damn!" Kiruko said as she looked down in thought.
"Hehehe! Looks like I'll have to handle things!" Xuya grunted out with a grin as he started to stand up with his black colored blood dripping from his hand. Kiruko knew what he was about to do and grew worried.
"Xuya! Wait!" "Don't worry about me losing; I clearly remember that move!" He said as he started to move the blood around in his hand. "If you use that move, then your Black Dog status will be revealed!" she whispered.
"So what? Do you want to hide it from them?" "It's not only them; the observation charms would let the whole world know!" "So what? Aren't those Hei sisters well known? How are me and them any different!" They argued back and forward
"Your Black Dog status is a rather sensitive matter for some. But I hope that people won't be weary of you…" She said with a sad look on her face.
Xuya looked at her and sighed. "WUAH! How troublesome! But aren't we almost out of time?" He said as he sat down with his legs crossed, and his palms against his knees. "Well, come on you filthy eel!"
Everyone looked at him with confusion. "That kid shouldn't be enough to pick your teeth with. As her leader I'll exchange myself for her. "HAHAHA! Did you hit your head as well? I can trade a snack for a meal? Sounds good to me!"
The zombie the opened it's mouth wide and lunged for the young Black Dog. In one scoop Xuya disappeared in the zombies maw. "XUYA!" "LEADER" Wendy, Kiruko, and the now awake Kirin shouted in horror.
"SPIT HIM OUT! YOU BASTARD!" The green haired woman shouted as she leapt in the air and slammed the blunt end of her tonfa into the cheek of the zombie; to which did no damage. 'Am I really drained to this extent?'
The zombie then shook her off. "Do you want to see that boy again? Don't worry, you will be reunited in my stomach. "DAMN! COME ON! I MUST HAVE SOMETHING LEFT!" "WAA! SPIT OUT OUR LEADER RIGHT NOW! Wendy shouted as she started to cry and slam her fists against the zombie.
"You are really noisy out there! BLACK BLOOD ARROW" Xuya's muffled voice came from the zombie's mouth. "Huh?" the zombie said in confusion as the front of its mouth ripped open with the arrow coming out of it. In one fluid motion Xuya took out a charm, spun in the air, threw it at it's head, and captured it.
"Did you really think I was the type of good person who would sacrifice himself for nothing? Stupid eel!" he mocked as he landed. "See? Now my status won't be revealed! What do you think?"
He was suddenly tackled into a group hug by the three "I-I thought we lost you! Don't do that again!" Kiruko said with tears in her eyes. "Alright! Geez! But anyways though there aren't enough monsters here to complete the mission." He said escaping the death hug.
"So that means we have to make our way to Mountain Glenn if we want to win." Kirin pieced together what her leader was thinking. "But I'm really weak after using so much energy…" Kiruko grunted out.
"AH! I've got just the thing!" Wendy started to rummage through her bag as she pulled out a sack. "Here eat this" she said as she handed her a green pill. Kiruko swallowed it, and her eye widened in surprise as her body started to glow green.
"M-My energy is steadily coming back! Thank's Wendy!" She said as she wrapped her in a back breaking hug. "N-No problem!"
"Now for your injuries...Sky Dragon's Healing Spell" She chanted as the air round them started to feel different as the wound on Xuya's back started to disappear. "Whoa! You know your stuff kid!" Xuya said with a toothy grin, as he pet her head.
The sky dragon faunus blushed and said "I-it's no problem! You've done so much for me already!" "Hey I think I got someone who would be happy to fix that for ya." "Really!" She said excitedly; to which he nodded in confirmation.
She then jumped and hugged him from behind, as he chuckled at her antics. "Alright! Mountain Glenn here comes Team Xuya!" "YEAH!" They shouted and raised their fists before pressing on.
Unknown to them they were being watched by eight sets of eyes, and four sets of smiles.

Timber Woods exit 5:15 P.M.
...
"It's already been some time since the third period started and we haven't run into a single enemy...Could it be that they have been captured" Kirin pointed out as the made there way towards Mountain Glenn.
"Heh, I knew that it was going to be like this. We should've headed for area one from the start!" Xuya said as he punched his open palm.
Team Xuya was keeping a good pace, until Xuya kicked something and looked down. "...WUWAAA! A DEAD BODY?" "KYAAA!" Wendy shouted from Xuya's back.
"Huh?" Kiruko said as she took notice of the other people left who took part in the initiation, sprawled out across the ground. "Wh-What happened to these people!" Kirin shouted
"Tch! You're too noisy. Don't go around calling people dead as you please. We are all alive! But we have been eliminated from the initiation. Someone should come and take us out soon..." The boy said as he rose up, and used his weapon for support.
"Do you mind telling us what happened here?" The young tiger faunus asked. The boy nodded and began to explain. "Sure...When the initiation started we were making good progress...We were in pursuit of a zombie and cornered it, but suddenly we were ambushed by the other monsters in the area. When we were almost struck down Gu Yishang showed up and saved us, but all the zombies that were there and ours became his. "Don't take on more than you can handle. If you wish to live you should give up now!" was all he said before he disappeared"
"The same thing happened happened to my team! Although I'm not happy about it, but that guy's strength is greater than ours!" a beaten woman said from the base of a tree. "No wonder there's no sign of anything here" Wendy said
"With that guy's power, i don't doubt he could take down the high level enemies in area one! No doubt he has already made it there by now." the boy said with a frustrated look.
"Fortunately, we were just going that way. I'll be sure to stick'em one for ya!" Xuya said as he gave them a toothy grin, to which they returned with a chuckle.

Timber Woods 5:20
…
"Alright we'll do it. Tell them to open the gate so they can get to safety. Alright bye, and tell Yuzuriha and Kazuha to relax their milk dispensers!" Petty as she hung up her scroll.
"What did Momoko want?" Baiken asked as Petty walked past her. "We gotta escort those people back to the starting point."
Before Baiken could answer she caught the sight of two birds off in the distance, perched up on a tree. She had a feeling that something was off about them.
The woman in the cream coloured coat waved her hand in front of her face "YO! Remnant to Baiken. Let's go!" "Ah sorry I just got distracted for a moment." She looked back at the tree and saw that the two birds were gone.

Mountain Glenn 5:30 P.M.
…
"Whoa! This place is huge!" Wendy said with stars in her eyes. "I've heard stories from my mom when ever she was on her first mission." Xuya said as he set Wendy down off of his back
"The buildings are covered in seals. They must've been put here to control the high leveled enemies here." Kiruko said looking around. "For safety reasons we have to stay together from now on!" Xuya said as he put his hand to his chin.
He turned around and saw them nod in agreement. As the started walking Wendy was in the back playing with Carla, while everyone else were having there own conversation. The eyes on Carla's face held together by gum feel off and bounced around a corner
"WAA! Come back!" She cried as she gave chase to the buttons, unnoticed by the rest of her team. "While we're searching, I'll give a brief introduction...The highest leveled enemies have lived more than five hundred years. In that time they have come into possession of unusual powers and the ability to use evil magic. For this event, not only are the restrained by the environment and the charms, they are also bound by chains made by highly skilled magic users!" Kiruko explained.
Xuya then raised his brow and grinned. "Oh? They are chained up? Then they don't seem as dangerous as Larxes and Amy said!"
"Don't get ahead of yourself. Those heavy restrictions are to slow them down enough so people have a chance to escape. So far no one has encountered one without being harmed...Unless you just so happen to be a powerful Youkai, or a member of the silver eyed clan." Kirin chimed in
…
With Wendy 5:40
…
"AHA! I've found them! They really got away from me! So leader who's the per-Huh? Leader? Kirin? Kiruko?." Wendy asked no one, as she searched around for her friends.
"OH NO I'M LOST!" she started to panic until, her frantic moving caused her buttons to drop again. "WHAA! NOT AGAIN!"
She turned a corner and looked upon a huge, muscular zombie. She looked as he turned his head towards her, causing her to flinch slightly.
"...Oh?" he said as he looked down at the buttons near the bottom of his robe. He picked them up and brought them to his face. "What the hell are these? Buttons?" he then crushed them between his large fingers lick a bug.
"YOU PIGHEADED ZOMBIE! YOU CRUSHED CARLA'S EYES!" She shouted in anger. "What kind of joke is this? I've been waiting half a day, and only this lost little girl came, I even killed the other two grimm to pass the time! Scram, I don't have time for you!"
The young dragon faunus shook with rage. "YOU! I WON'T FORGIVE YOU! SKY DRAGON ROAR!" A spiral of wing came flying out of her mouth and towards the zombie; who only put up his hand, and stopped it effortlessly.
"For a dragon you're pretty weak. You wish to join a guild with so little power?" the zombie said through closed eyes. Wendy then started to deliver weak punches to the zombies leg.
"*SIGH* Don't waste your energy. I don't fight children! I only fight with capable warriors! If you were to face off against me you'd-" "SKY DRAGON RISING CLAW!" He was cut off as Wendy lodged her opened palms into his nostrils; causing blood to drip out.
…
With Xuya 5:50 P.M.
…
"Wendy! Where are you? Wendy!" Kiruko shouted out as Kirin and Xuya sniffed the air. "She's close." Xuya said as Kirin looked at him in surprise.
Xuya said with his arms crossed and a relaxed smile"Alright in this situation we have to find the zombie". "How will that help?" Kiruko asked.
"Have you seen any movie? If we find the zombie we might find Wendy, or the sounds of our fight will reach her enhanced hearing, and she'll come runnin' to us!" "Wow...Just...Wow. that was unexpected of you to come up with something plausible" Kiruko said in shock
The only response the young Black Dog gave was an eye twitch, and light grumbling as they heard a strange noise. *KON**KON**KON* "See? That's what it'd sound like!" "But we haven't started fighting yet. You Kiruko have been arguing like an old married couple" When Kirrin said that Xuya, and Kiruko both blushed and avoided eye contact.
Then they saw Wendy being chased by a huge zombie. "WUAAA! LEADER HELP ME!" "...I told you so…" Xuya sighed out. "...So it seems…" Kiruko responded with a sheepish look.
"THESE STREETS WILL RUN RED WITH YOUR BLOOD!" The zombie shouted out as it reared back its huge arm. "DIE! EXPLODING DRILL." He shouted as his arm twisted like a drill. He punched the ground causing everyone to fly upwards.
"What kind of destructive force is this?" Xuya shout as he flipped through the air. Kirin and Kiruko were the first to recover mid air as they were jumping from rock to rock.
"Didn't expect to encounter one so soon!" Kirin said as she unsheathed her sword. "Let's see if you are as strong as the stories say!" Kiruko declared as she drew her tonfas.
"ICE TIGERS CLAW" Kirin shouted as she swung her sword, and caused a trail of ice shards to fly at the zombie. "FLAMING SHARK FINS SLASH" Kiruko shouted as she swung her tongas once causing two fire waves to fly towards the zombie.
The zombie quickly reacted as he thrusted his still twisting arm in front of him, nullifying the attacks. "To-Totally unharmed!" Wendy gasped out.
"HUMP! I'm a high leveled zombie! Any physical attack will be nullified as soon as it comes into contact with my arms. If you want to hurt me you'll have to do better than that!" The zombie the flexed his arm and pat it a couple of times. "Come on! I will stand here and let you hit me with your best shot here!"
"HA HA, this guys pretty good! Attack him with all your strength Kiruko!" Xuya shouted as he picked himself up. She then took a serious pose, but she suddenly turned, jumped back, and hooked Xuya around his neck; causing an audible crack, and foam coming from his mouth. "Wendy! Kirin! Run away!"
"Trying to escape eh?" He said as he started to move after them. "GAAA!" The restraints sent a shock to his body causing him to stop mid stride. "Just as I predicted!" The green haired woman said under her breath as she came to a stop.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!" The young Black Dog shouted as he rubbed his neck. "If you don't have the courage to attack then let me! Why did we have to run?" "Calm down. I've come up with a plan! Because of the chains, if you act quickly after seeing the zombie, then they will inhabit its movements, allowing others to time to escape!"
"So is our plan to continuously running away?" Kirin asked. "No, no. what I did was only to ensure that those chains had no way to be thrown off. Now it time for our counter attack!"

Timber Woods 6:10
…
"Summer, I told you he's fine. We're on our way back now." Raven said she hung on her friend "Sorry for bringing you out here for nothing"
"No problem. Kinda brings back memories of our time at Beacon. Although it would've been hilarious to see pineapple head catapulted out of nowhere." Qrow said as he unscrewed the cap of his flask.
"Also we've only dealt with grimm our whole lives. These demons are on a whole different level. I'd be lying if i said I wasn't a little worried about Xuya."
"Soo...How long do you think it'll take for the others to catch on? Yang would be fine with it. I don't know how you got Summer to let him make it out of his bedroom this morning." the drunkard said as he took a swig from his flask
Raven gave a deadpanned look "I literally had to wrestle her until he got to the gate. She may look sweet and innocent, but underneath that is raging grandma!"
"Look who's talking…" "WHAT WAS THAT!" Qrow looked off as he whistled nonchalantly. "HMPH! Let's just go already. But I can't help but feel something was off about that Gu guy…" Raven said as she started walking off to the entrance
…
Mountain Glenn 6:15
…
"Damn. those little mice were rather fast. Is this generation nowadays so cowardly?" "Hey! You old, bald zombie!" Xuya mocked as he gained the zombies attention.
"As for that offer of yours, does it still stand?" He asked as he got into a fighting stance. "HMF! Give it your best shot!" "Alright! Let's get started Wendy!" "Right away! VERNIER!"
"Heh, TAKE THIS!" Xuya said as he rushed forward with Wendy's speed boost, causing the zombie to widen his eyes in surprise. Xuya stopped in front of him and began his attack
"SECRET ILLUSION TECHNIQUE: SHIMMERING DODGE!" Multiple copies of Xuya came out flying in different directions. "What are you looking at?" Xuya asked from behind the zombie. "HA! HA! HA! AT LAST AN ACCEPTABLE OPPONENT!"
Xuya then jumped forward and farted in the zombies face as he picked his nose. "YOU LITTLE SHIT! HOW DARE YOU FART IN MY FACE!" The zombie started to lash out in a fit of rage. He didn't realize Xuya was actually restraining his arm.
"What the? When did my arm get like this?" "Now that arm of yours can't move.." Kiruko started. "You have no way to block these!" Kirin finished
"FEROCIOUS SHARK COMET!" "WILD TIGER GLACIER!" The both yelled, as a shark made of rocks and fire, and a tiger made of ice and water came rocketing at the zombie.
"HMF! You lot are a rare bunch of fighters, but...You are still too naive!" His restrained started to get smaller, as he transferred power to his covered arm and it grew just like the other.
He then blocked both attacks with his arm, and redirected the attack back to them in chunks "COUNTER EXPLODING DRILL!" "His power can be transferred to the other arm?" Kirin said in shock as her, Kiruko, and Wendy were trapped under rubble.
When the dust settled Kiruko was the only one conscious. "Uhg! Wendy! Kirin! WUU!" The air in her lungs was forced out due to the zombie stepping on the rock she was under.
"Just now, was that your plan? Really...IT JUST MADE ME HUNGRY" He shouted as he applied more pressure. "It really is the flesh and blood of humans like you that can stir my appetite!" He said as he started to reach for Kiruko.
Xuya cut his hand with his fang and thrust his hand forward "BLACK BLOOD ARROW!" the zombie then thristed his hand up to stop the attack, but found it was more than he bargained for.
"Wh-What is this?" he questioned as he slammed his now scared up arm down stopping the attack. "Dark-black blood it seems that you're not human, nor are you a faunus!"
Since you've already guessed. I don't have to hide it!" Xuya said as he took off his headband revealing his Black Dog ears. "Old man I'm about to become history's strongest exorcist Xuya XiaoLong!" "...HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! I didn't think that the filthy Black Dog race would continue to roam in this world! So you still wish to side with these foolish mortals?"
Xuya just looked at him like he was speaking a different language. "I have now good will towards your clan, but...It's rare to find someone I can take seriously. So, let's fight!" As he said that he transferred power to both of his arms.
…
Mountain Glenn 6:30
…
Destroyed observation charms littered the ground as Yishang started chanting. When he was finished the magic restraints shattered apart, releasing their capture.
A tall, anorexic looking woman with green eyes, short white hair, and a pair of white furred dog ears on her head. She was wearing a short black top, with a split at the bottom; exposing most of her upper body, a long black skirt that had slits on both sides, a thigh strap on both legs with a long dagger that had spikes on the guard, and a pair of black high heel shoes. Noticeable features about her are, the long scar going across her stomach, two screw head ornaments that, face paint that looked like blood coming from her eyes, and the Jinsang hat in the middle of her back.
"Now all those binding chains are useless you can move freely now, Shiti" He said to the woman, who kneeled before him. "Master Yishang, please give me your orders!" she said.
"*SIGH* I said that I don't like being called "Master". Just call me Yishang, like when we were younger…" "Sorry, I'll change that right away master Yishang!...Ah? I am truly sorry, I absolutely won't do it again, master Yishang!...Ah?"
The hooded boy just stared at her, until he heard the sounds of fighting behind him. "That Shijian is actually fighting seriously! If this continues, It will bring my plans to the attention of the guilds sooner than I anticipated…"
Shiti rose up with a cold expression on her face. "No need to worry. I will go assist to resolve Shijian's problem!" "No! That will only attract unwanted attention! I will handle this myself. As for you I have other plans…" He then summoned something wrapped in a cloth and handed it to her
"Shiti, if the plan is to succeed, we must seize total control of Mountain Glenn! All of the charms in the current area are under control of a Magic emitting core, two to be exact. If we can find them, then we can change their functions, and bring them to her! The other zombies already check the other areas, and couldn't find it. Thus it must be here. Use this sword to retrieve both cores and bring them back to me!."
"I will not fail you master Yishang!" She then grabbed the daggers on her legs and, summoned two dog heads to the ends of the cable attached to the hilts. "Ten! One! The time to hunt has arrived!" she said as she disappeared.
…
With Team Xuya
…
Black liquid dripped to the ground into a small puddle from a beaten Xuya's hand, as he was being held by the head by Sinjian. "Xu-Xuya...XUYAAAA!" Kiruko shouted in horror at she started to punch the rock that was holding her down.
"DAMN IT! HOLD ON XUYA! I'LL BE RIGHT THERE!" "Heh, it seems that today's fun still isn't over! *THOOM* Kiruko burst from the rubble. "LET HIM GO, AND LET'S SEE WHICH OF US IS STRONGER!" She roared as she got into a fighting stance.
"As you wish!" Shijian said as he dropped Xuya's motionless body. "Let me see if you have any skills!" He was about to attack, but stopped when he heard a familiar voice in his head
'Shijian, what are you doing?' He began to sweat nervously, as he looked up to a nearby building as he saw Yishang descend down, with his same emotionless look. "Yishang?" Kiruko said in surprise.
'Yishang...Master Yishang!' Shijian spoke telepathically. 'They are just low leveled mortals. Is it necessary to make such a big scene?' 'It's my fault, but…' Yishang then took notice to Shijian's injurys 'Shijian those wounds of yours...Those serious wounds don't look like the work of an ordinary human…'
Xuya then started to rise up emitting a dark green aura. 'Ye-Yes...I was about to tell you, master...One of them is actually…' Yishang then took notice of the blood covered Xuya charging at Shijian with a black arrow whirling around his fist.
"THINGS BETWEEN THE TWO OF US STILL AREN'T FINISHED, YOU MEAT HEADED ZOMBIE!" Before the huge zombie could react Yishang effortlessly pushed him out of the way, taking Xuya's punch directly to the face. *THUK* Yishang did multiple backflips through the are from the strength of the punch.
"What...What is this guy doing here?" Xuya questioned as Yishang finally landed holding face and knocking is hood off. "Do you want to steal our zombies again? You deserved that punch, no need to thank me!"
"I didn't expect a Black Dog to be able to break my disguise! That's why I could sense spirit energy flowing through you." Suddenly the remaining observation charms burst, along with the chains on Shijian.
"It seems like there is no way to keep pretending...SO BE IT!" A whirlwind whipped up around Yishang, he grew claws, the black part of his hair faded to white and a single braid went down his back, and his clothing changed to a white robe top and white pants, lastly a pair of white dog ears on his head, and a Jinsang on his back.
"Anyways, before long I will retreat with the zombies from here!" Xuya narrowed his eyes at him. 'Master, I have retrieved the cores. I'll be with you shortly.' Shiti alerted Yishang. 'Well done Shiti!' he praised.
Yishang and Xuya started to stare eachother down. "Heh! It seems that there is someone with even more serious identity issues than me! Oi, he's got a hat, if we catch him how many points would we get?"
"Xuya, things are not that as simple as you think. Do you know what this means? He hasn't received a Maiden's blessing, and he has been using a different form of power. Could he be...A Youkai as well?"
"You are correct! I am a member of the White Dog clan. Not only do I not require an aura to use magic, but like that fith you're standing next to that use's his blood as a weapon; my bones are my weapon"
He then dug into his ribs and pulled out two swords with a bone hilt. "Ew!" Xuya winced out. "It's time to make humanity to know it's place, and let the superior beings rule!"
…
Konoha Village entrance
…
Raven and Qrow almost reached the entrance, until they felt an abnormal pressure causing everyone to look up and see that a black mist was forming around Mountain Glenn
"I know I'm buzzed but you see that too right?" Qrow asked as he looked to his left to see no one beside him. He franticly looked around for his sister. He looked up and saw that she was flying at high speeds towards the commotion.
He was about to follow her but he felt a sudden pressure on his head. He looked up to realise a woman in a cream coloured coat used him as a launching pad. He was about to shout at her, but noticed the nice pantie shot he was seeing.
The drunkard then took his scroll out took a quick picture, and sent it to Xuya before taking off after Raven.
…
With Team Xuya
…
Yishang then pointed a sword a Xuya; to which he respond by flinching. Yishang then rushed at Xuya, and Impaled him. "Since you are one of the mortal lovers, you'll do everything in your power to hinder us. It's best you be dealt with now. DIE."
Yishang then flicked his sword along with Xuya into wall, letting him hang there motionless. "XUYA!" Kiruko shouted with tears running down her face. "Damn it! If i fought him by myself I'd die for sure. I have to use a charm to get in contact with Amy, and Larxes! We'll fail the initiation but now's not the time for that!'
Kiruko was about to call for help, but was stopped short from a kick to the side of the head delivered by Shiti. "Shiti…" "I have them Master Yishang!" "Good work, Shiti"
Shiti then looked in the direction of the green haired woman who was cupping her damaged cheek. "What should we do with them? Do you want me to kill them master?" She asked with a cold expression.
"No! Don't forget we won't commit any meaningless murders. Besides if we killed them all we won't have anything to rule over. Plus we already have what we need…" He began to pump spirit energy into one of the cores, which caused a black field of mist to form around Mountain Glenn.
A horde of zombies and grimm flooded the abandoned city. 'The charms have stopped working, or been destroyed! It will be a problem if too many get in here!' A dagger suddenly appeared at Kiruko's neck. "Don't do anything rash...A mere mortal in your condition is no match for me! Not only did master destroy thee charms, he also reversed their function! Now no one can enter this place! You'd better behave and watch up leave! Otherwise I'll cut your head off right here!"
Kiruko had no choice but to comply. 'Damn, there is too much of a ga between us. But i can't just sit and wait to die! There must be a way! I can't give up!' the thought as she looked at Xuya's still motionless body
Yishang finished opening a strange portal for them to leave in. As the zombies and grimm filed through the portal Shijian began to speak. "Master Yishang, there are no problems going with the evacuation stage" "Good. I will remain here and control the core. Report to me when everyone has passed though"
"I won't let you have your way!" Kiruko hit the ground causing a pillar to rocket out and hit Shiti in the face, then she followed up with a fire spell.
Shiti turned out of the way and was about to stab her in the back, but was stopped by a large sword. "You alright kid?" Qrow said from above her, as he kicked Shiti away.
"Master it looks like some huntsmen arrived" Shijian said as he started to go help Shiti. "Shijian, don't leave your post! Shiti...Take care of these obstacles now!" "I shall obey!"
"Huh. Guess you were right to be worried about this Yishang guy Rave...Rave?" Qrow asked as he looked to see his sister placing a shaking hand to the impaled Xuya's cheek.
"Xuya, can you hear me? It's your granny...Xuya, XUYA!" She shouted as a tears came to her eyes, as she looked into is hazy, half lidded eyes. "Si hu...si hu...si hu" Light breaths could be heard coming from Xuya, showing he was still living.
"Great, you're still breathing! Hold on a little longer; we'll take it from here!" She said as a hopeful smile spread across her face. 'Wait! Where's that dragon girl! She can heal him!' she thought as she saw Kiruko already lifting the rock of the now awake Wendy.
"Miss! Watch out!" Wendy shouted at Raven, as Qrow flew into a wall next to her. His aura flashed showing he could no longer fight "Qrow! Sorry, Xuya, I'll be right back!"
Raven then jumped high in the air and came down with a yellow dust blade, causing electricity to fly out upon contact. "Foolish human!" Shiti said as Qrow came up on her left, Kiruko on her right, and the now awake Kirin from the back.
The zombie woman began to move at high speeds cutting everyone around her, and sending them flying back.
Xuya's eyes slow closed shout as he was losing consciousness. 'I just can't stand the feeling of losing. That's it!' That was how a conversation ended between him and his mom. 'Why am I remembering that of all things' he began to think.
'But...I never really understood why I fear losing so much...Is it because I love money? Is it because I don't want to be bullied? Is it because of...Hormones? I only know...that inside is a voice warning me that if I lose...VERY bad things will happen.' suddenly the bodies of the two people from his dream played in his head.
For some reason that infuriated him. An unfamiliar energy started coursing through him, and the dark green aura started to show as he started to pull the sword out of his chest 'SO...I CAN'T LOSE!" "GUWUWUWUWUWUWU!" Xuya started to growl out.
Xuya's appearance started to change. His skin became white, he gained claw like nails, his hair started to turn emerald green, his teeth became sharp, the sclera of his eyes became black and his pupils were grey, his dog ears stood up like horns, and glowing black lines came from the sides of his eyes. His voice also got deeper, making his growls sound more animal like.
Everyone looked at him with concern, as this wasn't the Xuya they knew and loved. "He can still move?" Yishang said in surprise. "HAAA" As Xuya pulled the sword out of his chest, he let out visible breath
"GAOHAAAAA!" He let out a bloodcurdling cry as a fountain of black blood shot from his stab wound. He through the bone sword aside and set his sights right on Yishang.
Xuya then shot of with inhuman speed. Shiti tried to stop him, but was meet with a swat to the side of her head sending her flying away a few feet. "S-So fast!" Kiruko said as she tried to keep up with the blur that was Xuya.
As he started to close in on Yishang the blood that was coming from his wound formed multiple blood arrows around him "BLACK BLOOD ARROW BARRAGE!" Xuya said in a demonic sounding voice that sent a chill down everyone's spine
Yishang used his other bone sword to deflect to attacks. Xuya then appeared in front of him and unloaded multiple high speed punches and kicks into him.
Yishang lashed out with a jab, with enough force to send Xuya spin around. He recovered mid-spin and used the momentum to aid the force of his spining backfist, that sent Yishang flying.
"YOU BLACK DOG TRASH! YOU DARE GO AGAINST A FELLOW YOUKAI! THEN DISAPPEAR WITH THESE FOOLISH MORTALS!" Yishang shouted as he sent a ball of energy at him. Once the dust settled Xuya was nowhere to be found.
Raven, Kiruko, Wendy, and Kirin started to tear up, as Qrow shut his eyes and looked away. "ORBITAL BLACK BLOOD DROP!" They all look up and saw Xuya rocketing down towards Yishang, as his bare arms were covered in his blood leaving a trail behind him.
Before he could hit him, Yishang sprouted wings made of bones and magic, and flew out of the way. When Xuya's fists made contact with the ground, an audible snapping sound came from his arms, as blood came out in different places, as well as a small crater.
"RUUAAWWR! BLACK BLOOD RISING BARRAGE!" Multiple Black Blood Arrows shot upwards and hit Yishang directly.
Some of his blood got some of the low leveled zombies and grimm, killing them instantly upon contact. "Damn, this blood…!" Shijian said as he tried his best to lessen the damage. "Master Yishang!" Shiti shouted in concern as same blood splashed her in the face.
"*HUFF**HUFF*" Xuya slowly started to look more like his old self, as his eyes turned white, and he fell face first in a pool of his own blood.
Once Yishang landed his shirt was gone and wounds covered his whole body. He opened his mouth and blood came out "*COUGH* It seems I underestimated you before. You're just as terrifying as him. Now I won't make the same mistake twice!"
He dug into his skin again as he pulled out another sword, and raised it to stab Xuya. "GET AWAY FROM HIM, WHITE DOG!" A woman shouted as a sword came between them as two women appeared. "Petty! Baiken!
"There are more of you trash roaming aro-" Yishang was stopped short with a fist being smashed in his face, making him skip across the ground. Baiken crouched down and checked his pulse with one hand, as she pulled her sword out with the other.
A smile spread across her face. "He's still breathing, he can be saved! We just need to take him to Aki and he'll be alright." Baiken assured Petty; who responded with a nod
"Now...Which one of you dared lay hands on our brother?" She said as she looked around and cracked her knuckles. "Hmf! That'd be yours truly!" Sijian said as he stepped in front of Yishang.
Petty turned an insane smile towards him "Oh? Well then look's like we got a volunteer to die first!" They both charged at each other and collided punches, shaking the area around them.
As Shiti went to grab Yishang she was stopped by Baiken. "Where do you think you're going?" She then slashed at her stomach, making an 'X' with the other scar.
"Shiti! Shijian! Leave with the others! I'm their target!" Yishang shouted as he stumbled to his feet. "Shiti take Master Yishang out of here! I'll handle them!"
Shijian then twisted his arm and sent Petty flipping backwards and collided into Qrow, who had a nosebleed, as Petty's bosom where in his face. "Whoa. Sorry! About that." She was confused as to why Raven started beating him up.
Before Baiken could finish off Shiti, Sijian took hold of her and threw her away from her. "GO! TAKE MASTER AND LEAVE!" She wasted no time picking him up and heading towards the closing portal.
"Oh no you don't!" Baiken said as her hair turned white, and her eyes turned gold. "SPIRIT SLASH" She said as the sent a wave of energy at the two escaping White Dogs.
Shijian jumped in front of it just in time to take the hit for them. The portal suddenly closed, as Shiti and Yishang passed through. 'Heh they made it. Make sure you deliver, and make these mortals know there place!' He thought as Petty appeared in front of his face and kicked his head clean off his shoulders.
As her and Baiken returned to their normal state, Petty started to pick Xuya up to take him to get help. "Hey! Get away fro-" Qrow started to say until Raven grabbed his hand. He looked back at her in confusion.
"Believe me, I don't trust them either. But they are the only ones who appear to be able to do anything." Raven said through closed eyes as she tightened her grip.
"Um...They already left" Kirin pointed out. "Alright...How are we going to break this to everyone without certain individuals having a heart attack." The drunkard said as he searched for his missing flask.
"I really don't know this time…" Raven sighed out as she started to think about their next move.

I know that this one was a long one, but i hope you still enjoyed! Also how do you all feel about Omakes?
