An: I hope this came out ok, please let me know what everybody thought. I tried something with the fighting, I'm trying to find a fighting scene writin method that works for me.
—-WS—- (Nero's POV)
Nero groaned as he rolled from the bed into the floor of the tent. His legs had been tangled up in the covers, he pulled it off him and tossed it into the bed.
Nero stretched his arms out as he stood from the floor, he sat on the edge of the bed and yawned. He pulled on the jacket that Adam lent him, pulling the sleeve as far as it could go over his arm. They may have been accepting of him, but he sure as hell wasn't comfortable with it, yet!
'Shit, I was hoping that everything that happened yesterday was a dream! I shouldn't be in a different place than earth, how the fuck would I even get here!? The only thing keeping me from flipping my shit yesterday was the possibility that demons were fucking with me! I decided to play along with everything, but as the day went along I noticed that things were too detailed for a dream! I got my stuff back, Devil Bringer acted up towards that Cinder person, there are people here and they didn't bat an eye at my arm but then again they believe that I'm one of them as well. A completely normal person who showed up out of nowhere?' Nero placed his head in his hands and sighed, what was he going to do now?
'I have to find something for me to do, I can't sit in one place with my thumb up my ass doing nothing!' Nero sighed and pushed himself off the bed, he'll worry about all that later. He picked up his weapons and holstered them in their rightful places. Red Queen used a magnetic holster, that connected it to his back. He had to remove it from his previous jacket in order to use it with his borrowed jacket from Adam. Blue Rose was in the clear since its holster was on his thigh and it avoided any damage. He saw a table in the kitchen, he could do a really quick weapon check in there.
He pushed himself through the flap connecting to the main tent and found himself in the kitchen, where a woman was making breakfast on the stove.
"Good morning, guest! I don't believe we had the pleasure of making one another's acquaintance the other day!" She turned away from the stove while keeping her tail in front of her in order to keep from knocking stuff off the stove. Nero took in her appearance, she had magenta eyes with one being covered by her pink hair.
"Morning, thanks for putting me up for the night. I didn't have another place to stay for the night." Nero said, struggling to not look at the crocodile tail that was currently throwing him for a loop. 'Seriously, humans with animal features and traits!? That's a bit much,' he looked at the tail. 'Is it rude to stare or something?'
"My name is Mary, its nice to meet you!" Mary smiled and reached out her hand.
"Nero," he said as he took her hand in his, devil bringer glowing a faint blue.
"Does your arm always glow?" Mary asked as she turned back to the stove, quickly stirring the food before it burned.
"Yes, It normally glows. I don't really leave it uncovered for long though, so it doesn't really bother other people."
"Does it change color or is it a single color?"
"It varies, between light and dark blue colors. That's about it, I think?" Nero sighed, pulling up a chair at the table as he continued to talk to Mary. "Any reason for asking me that?"
"Nothing, really just curious about it, is all. It's not every day you meet someone who has a glowing reptilian arm, it's a rare sight."
"Oh, where's the kid at? I wanted to ask, why she slept in the bed with me?"
"She went with Mira to deliver food to Adam. Did she bother you?"
"Not really, I mean how would she? She stayed quiet and didn't toss and turn, staying latched to my arm like a tick. If she really pissed me off, I would have kicked her out and sent her back to her room."
"That's nice to hear, I'm glad that she didn't cause any bother! I worry about her sometimes, she has a habit of keeping things to herself. I am glad that you were kind enough to let her stay, if only for that night."
"Do you mind if I check my weapons on the table?" Nero asked as he shrugged Red Queen off his back and as he placed Blue rose on the top of the table.
"Sure, go ahead! I'll have some breakfast ready for you in a moment, are you good with eggs?" Nero nodded his head to her question, "good!" Mary turned around and started to fix him a plate, while Nero attended to his weapons.
He unloaded the gun, placing the bullets on the table and opening up the cylinder. He learned a neat trick for cleaning and maintaining his gun, if he focused energy from Devil Bringer he could not only power up his bullets but maintain his gun as well. He just had to make sure that he unloaded the bullets from the gun, otherwise they would be charged by the energy and need to be shot. The reason why, was because the overcharged bullets tended to explode if left alone for too long.
Mary watched him as he cleaned the gun, her visible eye widening at the sight of blue energy covering it. She had a plate of food in her hand and decided to wait for him to finish up, staying silent she watched as Nero examined the inside of the cylinder, looking for any remnants of sediment. After finding none, Nero was pleased with his work and holstered Blue Rose back where it belonged. He placed Red Queen atop the table and looked it over, the metal was still in good, Exceed was still in tact and the throttle still worked. He gave it an experimental throttle, turning the blade an angry orange. Smirking, he waited for it to cool down before he placed it beside his chair.
"Did you make your weapons?" She asked while examining his gun, it was a heavily modified revolver. She could see that it had two barrels, and eyed the intricate pattern of a blue rose that ran along the receiver of the gun.
"The revolver is mine, I call her Blue Rose, it can only be used by me since the kickback alone from two bullets is enough to break a normal person's hand. I designed her when I realized how difficult it was to reach flying demons as well as piercing their thick hide. It fires the bullets with a slight time difference, the bottom barrel fires a hollow point round that pierces the armor and the top bullet follows hitting the exact same spot as the hollow point."
"The sword, Red Queen, was developed by someone else, however I made a few modifications to it. The exceed system was already implicated in it, but I modified it for extra power and mobility. It can use the exceed function three times, this sword is more than enough to tear through demons. It can't be used by others for the same reason as Blue Rose, only I can use it making it one of my specialty weapons." Nero explained, with a small smile growing over his face. He loved his weapons, they were his long time companions and they deserved the respect he gave them.
"Demons? Is that what you call the Grimm?" Mary asked, her tail flicking behind her as she handed him the plate of food.
"Y-yes, that's what we call them where I'm from." Nero said, thinking back to the books that he leafed through yesterday while he was in Adam's tent. He had to remember that this wasn't the same place he was from, they called these things Grimm but they did have different names. He was safe in that regard however, there were no mention of creatures that resembled the demons he knew. He didn't have time to look through the whole book, which hopefully he could have access to again. If he was going to be around here for a while it would be good to familiarize himself with the indigenous dangers that he was going to face.
"Ok, but back to your weapons! I noticed that they didn't have mecha-shift capabilities but they are extremely advanced singular pieces more advanced than our weapons at least. Why did you create them like that, when you could have put them both together like a Huntsmen does?"
"Think of it like this, if you lost your weapon, which had both in one, you would have no means to defend yourself. I think having a weapon made for a single purpose instead of multiple, means that its damn perfect at what it does!" He quickly bullshited, something that sounded sort of logical. This day was starting to become very informative in a lot of ways at once. "Besides, I'm not a Huntsmen. I'm more of a passerby with no where else to go, in a way. I don't have a lot to go in the way of money, at least and I'm guessing that making a whatchamacllit is super expensive."
"Are you looking for somewhere to stay?"
"Yeah." Nero answered as he bit into the food on the plate, they were some good eggs. He would have preferred some pizza, but he would take what he could get.
"You could join the White Fang, Adam already seems to like you so I'm more than sure that he would let you stay here!"
"I-i don't know about that," besides he was pretty sure Adam trusted anyone who wasn't human easier. He handed her the plate and she took it with an easy smile.
"You wouldn't be working for free mind you, since it's obvious that you have more technical skill and combat prowess than the other White Fang members. You would make more money than them at least, all you'd have to do is jobs that Adam would assign you." She said with a small smile and clear patience in her argument. "There's some water in the fridge if you want some."
"What the hell, are you a recruiter or something?" He asked jokingly, she was trying really hard to get him to join. He stood from the chair and walked over to the fridge and grabbed himself a water and starting to take a drink.
"Sort of, I am in charge of the weapons department and we are always looking for people who know their stuff." She said, which caused Nero to nearly choke on the bottle of water. "I won't ask you to create more weapons for us or anything, I just want you to share some notes with me and you can do whatever else you want. If you want to work with Adam go ahead or if you just hang around the camp and protect it from Grimm go for it, I just want to protect my family and either way you'll be contributing to their defense."
"At least your honest, most people would have lied and tried to steal my stuff in order to examine them."
"Why would I steal from a fellow Faunus, we are all here fighting for equality aren't we?"
"Yup," Nero said with a casual smirk, he was starting to like the idea of a group fighting for equality. They seemed to be doing things in a somewhat peaceful way, only resorting to force as a last result in order to protect themselves.
At that moment, two people burst through the tent entrance and Nero snapped his head towards them. He instantly recognized one of them, it was Anna and she was being carried underneath the other ones arm. The other one had pink hair, a pair of dog ears and a crocodile tail trailing behind her as well.
"Mom, we're back!" The young girl said, while Anna struggled to escape her grip.
"I can see that," Mary said, "what did Adam say?"
"He loved the food!"
"Anything else?"
"Umm. . ." The young girl released Anna and cupped her chin.
Anna stared at the girl, "didn't it have something to do with his combat lesson?"
"How would you know, you were too busy laughing on the floor!"
"Yeah, I was but how did you forget when you were the one talking to him!?"
"Whatever, at least I talked like a normal person!"
"Girls! Mira, What did Adam say about the combat lesson?" Mary asked, while brandishing a frying pan that she pulled off the stove.
"He said," Mira cleared her throat, ""Ensure that Nero, the guest, arrives at the training grounds. I wish to have a discussion with him as well as for him to observe the teaching of the troops.""
"That was really close to how he actually sounded," Anna looked at Mira in disgust. "How low have you fallen, sister?"
"What's that supposed to mean!?"
"Nothing at all, just amazed at how you were able to copy his voice so well. It's really impressive!"
Mary rolled her eyes as she watched her children bicker, "well I guess that means your up, Nero."
"All right, I'm down for talking and watching a lesson. I wonder how he fights with that weapon of his?"
Mira hearing his question, jumped at the chance to talk about Adam. "He fights with passion and skill, he uses his semblance in perfect sync with his swordsmanship! He is singlehandedly one of the most powerful members in the White Fang."
"Anything else you got on him?" He wanted more information on what a semblance was, but figured it better to keep quiet. That question could draw unwanted suspicion on him.
"Well, he has a ranged weapon but he never seems to use for actual ranged attacks. He only uses it when he is at point-blank range. He uses his sword to attack at different ranges, it's almost like he's moving at high speeds and immediately returns to his original position as he sheathes the sword."
"Has anyone ever beaten him?"
Mira scrunched her face in thought, "I don't think so, he never lost once even in a friendly sparring match. He goes easy on everyone, but he doesn't tolerate stupid mistakes. He took on the entire class, and managed to beat them all in one single sword strike! It was awesome!"
"Huh, ok. That does sound impressive." He grabbed Red Queen and placed it back upon his back. "Are you two going there?"
"Yeah, I'm part of the class and Anna is going with just to make sure I don't get hurt." She picked the blue-haired girl up and placed her on shoulders.
"Well, maybe you all should get moving? Adam doesn't have the greatest amount of patience and he wanted to talk to Nero before that, didn't he?" Mary asked while pushing the two girls towards the exit of the tent, and gave them a bag before they exited. "Make sure to eat that, training on an empty stomach isn't a good idea."
—-WS—- (Nero's POV)
"So, this is the training ground?" Nero asked, taking in the sight of the barren ground. It was still inside the camp, the walls that surrounded the camp were made out of wood but the ramparts that ran along the top of them suggested that they were in the clear of wild animals. It was also located a good distance away from the other tents.
"Yeah, it's not much but its the best we have. I personally like it, we can cause so many explosions that we don't have to worry about other people!" Mira said, with a gleam in her eyes at the thought of explosions.
"Ok," Nero surveyed the area and spotted Adam, it wasn't really hard to miss him especially considering his outfit. "I'll talk to you two later."
The two kids nodded and walked over to where the other troops were standing.
He approached Adam, who kept his hands behind his back while looking in the distance outside the camp.
"Nero, I trust that you had a restful night with no disturbances?" He asked, with a thinly veiled question that ran synonymous with it. 'Did the humans try anything?'
"Yeah, it was real peaceful. I woke up so refreshed, I didn't know where I was."
"That's a relief, I wanted to ask you something." Adam said, turning to face Nero. "I want you to join the White Fang."
"What!? Just like that, you met me yesterday. I'm sure I didn't leave a strong enough impression for you to offer me a job."
"It wasn't going to be just like that, there's going to be a test."
"Okay, so there was going to be test. I still think that you're offering me a job, way to fast! You barely know me, let alone trust me! So why the hell would you want me, a total stranger to work with you?" Nero stared at Adam, hoping to come to an understanding as to why he wanted him to work with him. He could understand Mary's pitch, she wanted to make sure her family could stay safe but what was Adam's reasoning?
"If I was to ask you about where you were from, would you tell me?"
"What I could."
"Would you help me if I was in danger?"
"Huh, yeah why the hell wouldn't I? You don't leave anyone to die, if they need your help!"
"Even if they were an enemy?"
". . . Yes, you can capture them and use them to gain more information. It would be a stupid idea to let someone who had information die."
"What would you even have me doing?" Nero cautiously asked, while Adam remained silent. He was the new guy in camp, while the others trusted him implicitly they should exercise a small amount of caution.
"You would accompany me to Vale, I have to go with Cinder in order to establish contact with a human criminal."
"Your going to work with a criminal!?" He was confused, what was special about Cinder that allowed her this amount of control within Adam's group.
"Not willingly, I wouldn't be working with him if it wasn't for Cinder. I would focus on sending our message to the humans. I would ask you to help me, I have to lend him troops in order for him to accomplish his tasks."
Nero turned away from Adam and looked to the sky. He wasn't above helping them, he needed something to do while he was stuck here. He didn't even know if he wanted to go back, there was nothing there that made him want to return. He was already ostracized by the organization for using a gun to kill demons, and his attitude towards others didn't help all that much. He didn't believe in their religion which also caused a lot of people to dislike him.
While he would be here, he would need a place to stay and that could be provided to him if he worked with Adam. He would have a source of money and information as well as killing monsters, if anything it would be the same as earth. The only difference being he would have acceptance for what he was, even if they thought he was a Faunus, they didn't judge him for his arm's appearance. He pondered on this topic for a moment, if he was to take this job he needed to understand his employer.
"So, you want me to be sure to have your back should anything go wrong? I don't mind helping but I am more than enough to kick ass, if anything I might be too useful."
"Oh, are you sure about that?"
"Mmm, yeah pretty sure!"
"Then, I'm sure you'll pass this test with flying colors." Adam said, a small smirk growing on his face.
"Hit me, what's the test? Whatever it is I can handle it!"
"I want you to face me in a friendly spar." Adam said, while placing a hand atop his weapon.
"That's it, I was hoping for more of challenge but if that's how you want to do things." Nero said, taking a hold of Red Queen with his left hand while keeping his right unarmed. "What are the rules?"
"Combat stops when the other is rendered unable to fight. We don't have any devices that measure aura, this is the best way to gauge our abilities. Our auras will protect us enough allowing us to fight in even terms." He took a look at Nero, "well as even as possible." Adam smiled, as he looked towards Nero.
Nero frowned, that made things interesting. He didn't have whatever the hell he was talking about and he sure as hell wasn't going to mention it. Nero would have to win this fight perfectly and stylishly, he smirked. "You got yourself a deal, however one condition."
"What would that be?"
"If I win, I'm not a part of your White Fang. I am an equal, a partner. I don't want someone telling me what to do with my life, but if I am a partner then I reserve the right to refuse a mission. I get to decide how to execute the mission!"
"Hmm, those are steep terms but if we are equals does that mean I get an equal say in what you do?"
"That's what partners do? So what do you say, wanna make a deal with a devil?" Nero smirked as he saw the consideration on Adam's face.
"You have yourself a deal, however that means I'm not going to be holding back in this fight. If you want to claim to be a partner then you have to be strong enough for it."
Nero nodded as he turned and moved a distance away from Adam, while he addressed his troops informing them of the oncoming spar.
Nero stood at the ready and waited until it was time to start the fight, he heard a noise approaching him and he turned his head towards it.
It was Anna, she had a worried look on her face. "Are you sure about this, you don't have to fight Adam. You could change the conditions back to normal and just work for him!"
"No, that ain't happening. I won't let someone else have control of my life, since after all I am the one putting myself at risk if I lose."
"Bu-"
"I am not going to lose, I am going to win! Now get back to the crowd," Nero looked at the girl, "and make sure to watch my performance."
Anna ran back to the crowd and stood alongside her sister.
Nero stretched as he revved up the exceed system on Red Queen, he looked down at his right arm. It was going to be the first fight he had since fighting Berial, that cheating fucker used a cheap trick and got him sent here.
Adam moved back and eased into a combat ready state, keeping his hand on the hilt of his weapon ready to draw it at a moments notice. "You get the first strike, go ahead when your ready."
Nero switched Red Queen for Blue Rose, if his description of this aura thing was to be believed that meant he could take a full fight. Nero was more than willing to give him that, he charged Blue Rose while taking aim at Adam.
As he pulled the trigger Nero was already on the move, running around Adam while he unloaded bullet after bullet towards him.
Adam was able to use his blade to deflect each shot into the air, while the red on his body started to glow. Nero watched as he continued his assault that was getting nowhere, he needed to close the distance.
Adam sliced through the next bullet while releasing a wave of red energy towards him, Nero's eyes widened as he rolled to the side.
"How the hell'd you do that! You can throw laser's at me, what the fuck man! Talk about lame, is that sword just for show then!?" Nero yelled at Adam while he kept advancing towards him in a circle, with each shot he was getting closer.
Adam stayed silent, before he was gone in a flash and slashed at Nero's chest. Nero was unprepared for the sudden outburst of speed and barely managed to avoid getting slashed. He repaid Adam's effort with a point blank shot to the chest, knocking him back. Nero revved Red Queen one more time before he placed it on his back once more, it's blade glowing an angry orange while the edge had a red cherry glow.
Nero could feel the heat on his back, but thanks to the magnetic sheath it didn't touch is back.
Adam recovered from the shot to the chest, his body was glowing again. He rushed Nero and swung, his body seemed to multiply. There were three Adam's and all were in a line swinging their blades towards him, he was barely managing to keep from getting hit by his blade.
Nero grit his teeth as he jumped backwards, focusing energy from Devil Bringer to the bottom of his feet and jumped backwards once more. He fired Blue Rose while in the air, causing Adam to disengage in order to gain distance once more.
Adam lost his after images/clones, he stood at the ready while watching Nero carefully. Nero revved Red queen a third time, it's engine hummed and the heat coming from the blade was extreme. Nero rushed Adam while keeping his hand on Red Queen, he slammed the blade towards him with all his might.
The Blade moved through Adam, who was perfectly still it was a after Image. Nero had a split second to catch Adam's sword before it bit into his neck, he griped the weapon with Devil Bringer. Adam had a small look of surprise on his face while Nero brought the flat of Red Queen against his side, hard.
Nero laughed as he gained some breathing room, "you are pretty good, but I'm not going down without a fight! So let's rock!"
"Hmm." Adam returned the weapon to his sheath and waited for Nero's approach.
Nero hefted Red Queen and launched himself towards Adam, keeping it perfectly pointed at him. Adam parried the strike and kicked Nero in the stomach.
Nero gritted his teeth and brought Red Queen back down for an overhead slash.
The slash caught Adam by the shoulder and knocked him off balance, he felt Red Queen impact there but there was no blood he didn't ponder about for long as Nero seized this opportunity and punched him directly in the stomach with Devil Bringer. Nero felt Adam crumple around his fist as well as the invisible field that didn't allow him to actually hit skin.
Adam landed in a crouch with his weapon still at the ready, they were apparently not done with the fight yet. He readied his blade and approached Nero with caution, keeping his stance guarded ready to answer any of Nero's attacks.
Nero moved forward revving the exceed function as much as he could while he and Adam circled one another. He needed to go all out with this attack, if he took Adam by surprise he may have a chance to end it quickly.
Nero took a deep breath and focused on Devil Bringer, he pushed forward and grabbed Adam with a spectral fist. He pulled Adam in instantly, and slammed the flat of the blade into his stomach. The impact caused Red Queen to expel all the energy it was storing in its blade and knocked Adam across the field.
Nero moved in quickly grabbing him with Devil Bringer and smashing him into the ground, before he unloaded another round from Blue Rose into him. Nero wanted to end this immediately, the longer the fight went on the more likely it would be discovered that he didn't posses the invisible shield, that was protecting Adam, causing a whole lot of uncomfortable questions.
"I guess, I passed the test!" Nero holstered Blue Rose, while keeping his eyes on Adam.
Adam was weakened and on the ground still, Nero backed off and waited for him to stand. Adam pushed himself up on shaky knees, he struggled to his feet and pushed his sword back in the sheath. "That was an unexpected turnabout, you kept an ability hidden until the end."
"I don't think you have any room to talk mister laser katana beams, I was lucky I didn't lose my head! It was super impressive though, I will admit that much."
"What was that fist that grabbed me, was it a part of your semblance? I can only assume that the blue energy that forms around you, is all a part of a flexible semblance, able to stretch in forms that the bearer requires. This would explain the ability to fire charged bullets from your gun, the jumping twice in the air and the fist that grabbed me. You can manipulate that energy in order to do anything you wish with it."
"Yup, that's my semblance!" Nero said, who was silently grateful for the out that Adam provided him. He needed to find information about these things, he needed all the intel he could get in order to blend in. The internet might still be a thing, hopefully they have phones but I'll need to find out what they're called in order to gain access to one.
On the bright side, his headphones might be able to connect with their phones allowing to listen to music once more, hopefully they have the kind of music he likes in this place.
"So do I get the job, partners!?" Nero held his hand out to Adam.
"Hmm, your performance was sufficient enough and you seem able to plan strategy while in combat which is a necessity in our work." Adam took a hold of Nero's hand, gripping tightly. "I look forward to our partnership."
"All right! Now on to our first order of business," Nero looked to Adam who frowned in thought.
"That would be?"
"My pay of course!" Nero watched as Adam smirked, a small bit.
"Ha, I believe you may be right." Adam walked away from Nero and went to address the class.
The rest of the evening was spent training the troops and Nero lent a hand to help, after all this was now a joint effort between the two of them.
—-WS—-
AN: Ok what did everyone think, this was a new method on writing a fight scene and I hope that it was pleasing to read. Me and a buddy of mine, we tried to make it easy to visualize and see the fight play in your heads, while you fill in any details that I may have left out or missed. It's pretty easy to tell that Nero was going to win, and before anyone says that he should have wiped the floor with Adam, remember that Adam is skilled enough to hold his own against Trained Huntsmen but in the end it wasn't enough to best our Devil Hunter because Nero is used to fighting tougher and stronger enemies. The demons he fought back home were tricky creatures and employed the use of strength, tactics and dirty moves all in order to kill humans. Nero had an advantage from the start, especially since he was an unknown, his combat style wasn't known nor abilities meaning Adam had to work with what he could gleam from him. He used Devil Bringer at the end as a sort of Ace up the sleeve meaning it would be a surprise and dirty move, winning the fight for him instantly, since Devil Bringer is able to destroy any demon it comes in contact with, able to throw them around the field and devastate their health and hurt any others nearby.
Enough about that, let me know what everyone thought and I'll see everyone again next week. My free time is about to increase, in a small way. However, that means more time in order to type these up and hopefully continue my other stories. Writing this story is helping me overcome my writer's block slowly! I am so pumped to write more of my other stories and I am super grateful for everyone who takes the time to read the story and hopefully I can continue to produce an enjoyable story for everyone!
Review answers:
StyGian21: Thanks I really tried to write his personality as he was in the game, but I found it too volatile. He would go out of his way to avoid others and have down right mood swings, which was cool when I was 14 however now it feels sort of cringey when you look at it now. I hope that I can do more with the whole Blue Dragon thing, which I may since that is a cool plot point. I am glad that you like it so far. I hope that it continues to be enjoyable! I also thought it was weird how there were no half-Faunus in the show, that would be an amazing thing to cover and add a whole lot more depth to the White Fangs movement. It would show that they weren't not all that different if you are able to create a offspring with the other, showing that they deserved respect in a more meaningful way! I feel like they should hire a new PR person, they honestly can't do their job correctly.
SoNNeikO: Huh, I have no clue whatcha talking about summers! XD! (Oh who am I kidding!). You got me, I thought that would be a cool thing to add so I put it in and it helped me form most of the story. However, don't expect anything to be done with that right away. I got a good review reminding me that My pacing needs work. Otherwise, Thanks for the Review and I'm glad you found that little thing enjoyable!
Kamencolin: thanks, I like the idea for Adam's character and thought how cool it would be if he was less of a jerk and more believing in the movement and not easily swayed. He didn't trust Cinder at all and he knew more than he let on, I thought he would have betrayed her to be honest.
Mrsauce906: I'm glad that you like this Adam, I wanted to change him a bit. I couldn't change everything, he still needs his hatred for humans otherwise Blake wouldn't have left him. He needs to keep his attitude for doing everything for the rest of the Faunus.
I like Nero's personality in DMC 5 as well, he felt more focused and driven in his cause. Virgil was a given since it was said that his blade was able to cut throught reality itself or something. I figured that he did a lot of traveling in order to find power. On too the Dante matter, I may or may not but if he does show up it would have to be super dramatic and stylish otherwise he wouldn't be happy.
On the idea of a pairing, I do have one in mind and while normally I would be totally forthright with that information. I learned from a friend that putting the pairing up is a good way to gain a big following, but it also cuts out everyone who doesn't want to see a certain pairing. I am going to keep it a secret until it becomes official in the story, once the two get together then I will change the description to include the pairing. I want everyone to read this and offer feedback and give honest thoughts on the entire thing.
I'm excited for what I have planned as well!
Greer123: Thanks, I'm glad you like it!
On the idea of Vergil helping the Faunus, he wasn't really helping them more like they fit along with his goals and he freed them. They had the ability to see in the dark and actual adaptations that help them survive in this world, he would have seen this as wrong and proceeded to set things right, killing the humans is obviously what he would do since it is shown that he gives zero F* about any of them!
adislt: Yup, He is!
Also thanks for pointing that out, I hope I was able to answer that question as well as fix it, on the matter of attacking Beacon. They aren't there yet and he doesn't have any knowledge about what Adam would be planning. I had to finagle a way for Nero to gain that information. I hope that you keep enjoying the story!
lolrus555: ... you my good sir have given me a lot to contemplate and I thoroughly enjoyed reading your review. I hope I addressed the punctation things and while I can go back and change things, I have to stick to my guns and continue on, I hope that I can find some way to justify the things I did but I have a plan. I am glad that you liked the idea with Adam and all that, but I have a lot of work ahead of me in that Regard.
anonymus01: thanks for pointing that, now I need to finagle something in order to make it work and I will trust me on that! I appreciate the time you put in for your reviews.
I thank you for your criticisms and hope that you can bear with any continuity errors I make, since I am going to be trying to make them work in a way somehow, at least.
I also like how you actually gave examples for how they were foils for the girls in RWBY, I really smiled when I read all those things!
Guest: Glad you like it and no worries, I would never harm a character that I created, unless it was story purposes then RIP. I wouldn't dream of making her a martyr since that would be very effed up.
Oni Makai: I hope this was easier to read for you, I tried fixing the blocky paragraphs and broke them up where I could. I hope this helps!
Greer123: You are very welcome, I had to make myself write and I am glad that I did.
Guest: ??? I dunno what you mean, seriously. I'm glad that you thought the story was already good enough but I hope that whatever I did made it even better, since improving something good can only make it better!
Now it is officially Wednesday, 12:23 A.M I have finished Answering reviews and will now be posting it.
