Chapter 3: Haven's Fury
A striking blonde entered in one of the inns on town, some of the customers turned heads to stare at her beauty. No one noticed that she had a robotic arm covered by a glove. She was surely looking for someone in concrete inside the pub, ignoring whistles and unpleasant comments from the rude ruffians and thugs.
Her eyes would have burned on an intense fire if it wasn't for an old man calling her from the darkest corner of the inn.
"Hey Firecracker, good to see 'ya again." He greeted while drinking a shot of cheap whiskey.
Yang turned around when recognized the deep voice of her uncle Qrow. He was drinking and finding him on some bar was something probable. Luckily Yang hadn't had to search long on Haven's bars, pubs, and inns.
"Hey, Qrow." Smirked the blonde.
"Sorry, but there's no apple juice in this place."
"Ha-ha… Hey, gimme the same thing that is drinking this old feathered guy."
She sat in front of him, her purple tone returning on her eyes. When the men saw her sitting with the lone solitary man, stayed silent.
For a moment, Qrow thought of his sister, who was in the same situation with just a few weeks ago. He wasn't wrong at all, his niece's determination could be read on her expression and he knew that she was only sitting in front of him because she needed information.
The waitress came with a shot of harsh whiskey for the blonde and glanced at her with slight jealousy.
"So, you've left Tai's nest."
"Yeah! I'm too cool to stay there the rest of the year."
A loud explosion made the bar tremble, some glasses and bottles shattering on the floor. The sudden noise repeated again, so Qrow and Yang got up to leave the bar and inspect what was happening outside.
"We'll leave the chat for later." Said Yang while Qrow left some lien on the table to pay and gave the last drink to the alcohol, that night would be long.
The blonde got outside and saw dark columns of smoke on Haven Academy. Qrow joined her and stared at the top of the mountain.
"Prepare your new fancy arm, it looks that there's a big 'party' on the academy."
Meanwhile, on a camouflaged roof of some low-life suburb, Salem's henchmen were talking about their task at Haven and how the plan would go from now on.
The fall had just started and no one could stop it.
"The young Taurus, shall he still supporting us?" Asked Arthur Watts at the big man standing in before him.
Hazel grinned, the White Fang and its forces were the keys to make Haven fall. They were about to start a good show as in Beacon a year ago.
"He assured me that he would. Are you questioning my methods perhaps?" Watts pulled out his phone. "Is Lionheart going to show some cooperation?"
The headmaster of Haven, another key that would open the door to their victory. Poor coward puppet.
"Are you questioning my methods?" Watts answered back.
The first explosions on the top of Haven could be heard and the henchmen retired to a safer place. The hard work was in charge of the White Fang and the Grimm.
Despite that, they didn't know about another card on the table that would be crucial for them but for now, they ignored the presence of the vampire in the world of Remnant.
Dio, Ice, and Adam jumped from the airship to the top of the tower where the relic more likely would be. After their meeting and a little help, Dio was aware of Remnant's darkest and best-kept secrets.
The young Taurus led them through the entrance of the tower. His movements were unnatural and felt sloppy, like a soulless puppet. Despite that, he was capable of achieving his objective.
"Taurus, we must be quick with this, I sense something, a presence I've not felt since…" The vampire started to feel Joseph's and Jotaro's presence, not just in that world but also getting closer.
"Master Dio, there's nobody else here, this could be a trap." Vanilla Ice wasn't afraid but the absence of people in that place looked suspicious.
"That's because the director of this academy gave the order to leave this place, so then there's nobody who can protect the relic." Explained Taurus while he was trying to find the way to the correct chamber.
"It sounds like someone else's plan, Adam." Dio felt interested in the idea that someone else was planning something big.
"It is, the Dark Queen is so interested in obtaining all the relics and... something else." Answered the redhead faunus.
"Hmm. Maybe we should visit her 'majesty' later." If he wanted to succeed in that new world, he needed to know everything about those who could be an obstacle, or maybe allies.
"Adam, do you have an idea where this 'relic' is?" Ice thought that the faunus wasn't really useful in master Dio's new crusade.
"If you can't trust me we could 'ask' somebody who really knows where the relic is." It was time to prove how loyal could be Lionheart to the evil witch.
Following the tracks of the destruction of Haven Academy, Sun and Blake ended inside the building fighting many soldiers of the terrorist group. There weren't many huntresses to fight them as the situation of Mistral was one of the worsts on all Remnant.
Despite that, Sun had the hope to find his team, especially Neptune who supported their mission with the White Fang, and share the same cause to end with the invasion of the academy.
Blake was struggling with a group of members of the Vale branch, the one she was used to be in. Sun shoot at two of them with his nunchucks to help her from the distance and still be able to fight his own enemies.
They had to arrive at the tower, it was the first thing of Haven that they had to defend. If it fell, it was over, and all of their efforts would be a waste of time and sweat. They couldn't be fighting near the entrance of the academy, it wasn't the most indicate spot.
"Blake, let's keep moving!" Yelled Sun.
The cat faunus nodded and ran towards him. Blake prepared her pistol mode of Gambol Shroud and Sun used the shotguns on his own weapon to shoot behind them and distract or even aim at the White Fang members who were running behind them to overpower them and arrive at the tower.
Luckily Haven't wasn't as big as Shade or Atlas and soon they arrived at the courtyard that had the entrance of the tower. There already were a few students and future huntsmen fighting off the White Fang invaders and even some Grimm that negativity and fear attracted.
"Sun, I think Neptune's there!" Said the cat faunus.
Definitely, he had to be one of the fellow fighters guarding the entrance of the tower as she could smell him with her faunus senses.
"Let's help them." The blonde faunus will never let fall any huntress or huntsman against a bunch of anarchists.
Sun surprised one of the guards focused on shooting with a rifle at the Huntsman from behind and got rid of him. Blake continued shooting with Gambol Shroud as it was the most mature idea because there were too many people trying to occupy the tower. Some of the White Fang invaders ran towards him and attacked them, decreasing the number of enemies that the fellow huntsman had to defeat. Sun, meanwhile, shoot at Grimm that were around Haven's campus.
Blake localized a sparkly light blue hair between the group of students. She couldn't be wrong, it was Neptune!
"Sun, Neptune is here!" Announced the cat faunus.
But Wukong didn't even hear her as he was struggling with anUrsaa that managed to cause problems and overpower him until his weapons fell out of his range. Belladonna changed Gambol Shroud form and aimed at the ursa's back. The Ursa fell dead and Sun could get out of the corpse while it was dissolved as dust and the air scattered its dark scent. Belladonna went to help him get up and repeated the great news.
In effect, Neptune was one of the students fighting for the good of the academy. Exhausted, tired and hurt, some of the students had already retired from the field.
"Blake, Sun, it's good to see you. How was the honeymoon in Menagerie?"
"Sun, I think you should find a new best friend before I kill Neptune."
"Wow, wait grumpy cat! You can't kill my bro!"
"It was only a joke. And don't ever call me 'grumpy cat' again."
He had to admit it, Sun and Blake looked like a couple, quite the opposite personalities but with the same fiery spirit.
"Awww… your first fight as married."
Blake glanced at the blue-haired huntsman, she made him shiver.
"Buddy, please, don't make her kill us. Just tell us: Have you seen any of the White Fang's big fishes?"
Before Vasilias could answer, Blake quickly added:
"Have you seen Adam Taurus?"
The silence was made between them despite that shots of weapons and growls from Grimm were still there. Sun knew exactly what Adam meant to Blake and that was an issue they would have to face eventually.
"Taurus… the redhead with the horns? Actually no, only too many White Fang common members and Grimm that actually had surrounded us right now!"
The guns of the White Fang members were pointing at the small group of huntsmen and huntresses who tried to protect the tower.
"Huntresses and huntsmen of Haven surrender or die…"
"Yeah! Sure, the classic 'Surrender speech'. Can we pass to the part where we kick your asses?" Said the blonde faunus.
"Humans had treated us like beasts, slaved and even hunted us. Now it's time to pay for all what you've done to us."
Suddenly, a ship of the Atlesian Military announced its arrival with the loud sound of the engines running. With the spotlights it helped the huntresses, blinding temporarily at the creatures of Grimm, who were sensitive to the intense light. For the members of the White Fang, the airship used its guns to shoot, causing the faunus to run and hide to cover, leaving the weary huntsmen and huntresses who were defending Haven alone.
It was at that perfect moment when the airship unleashed its troops, led by Winter and with Weiss as a backup helping the other Haven students. While her subordinates were occupied with the White Fang members and her sister was with the students, Winter was left alone with the creatures of Grimm. In a matter of seconds, she surrounded the bloody beasts with frozen glyphs, using her trustful weapon to strike at the closer ones.
Deadly cold and sharp iron pierced and dissolved the evil creatures, turning them into a dark dust that would disappear with the night itself. The Atlas specialist didn't lose time when she had to fight Grimm but even then she gave an amazing demonstration of her abilities. Playing with glyphs, using various resources of her hereditary and unique semblance to show the other fighters how the Schnee held their legacy as huntsmen, just like their grandfather Nicholas, founder of the Schnee Dust Company. One by one, the monsters had been executed with the graceful and fast movements Winter made.
"Oh, God! Polnareff, your new girlfriend is an amazing warrior." Joseph Joestar was impressed about Winter's abilities.
"Mr. Joestar! She's not my girlfriend… yet. But yes, after she had a duel against my Silver Chariot those black furry monsters are piece of cake for her." Answered proudly the French stand user.
The battlefield was empty and the spotlight of the airship military service was on Schnee, who stood victorious among the creatures of the night.
"There's no doubt about that but more of those creatures are coming." Warned Aram seeing the beasts lurking in the shadows.
"They are not the only. Look, the other group of warriors is taking a strategic position against the tower's defenders." Explained Avdol.
Being men of action, the Stardust Crusaders couldn't stand there on the airship and do nothing while hundreds of people were fighting their lives to save the Haven Academy.
"Agent Winter and her soldiers don't have a chance, we must help them!" Sentenced Kakyoin.
"Pilot, open the rear door! We're going to help your partners." Jotaro ordered.
"Negative, I have orders to assure that you remain on this ship." Answered the atlesian pilot.
"Yare yare daze… I'm not gonna wait here until this airship crashes because of my grandpa… ORA!" Star Platinum opened the rear door so Jotaro and company could join the fight.
"Aram, you should stay here. If we want to come back home after all this madness has finished we need you to be safe." Advised Avdol before jumping.
"You don't have to say it twice." Aram was glad that he didn't need to fight but, on the other hand, he felt useless because even Iggy was going to fight although that dog had lost his paw recently.
The Crusaders jump out of the airship into the battleground. As soon as they hit the ground, Jotaro was fighting against some creatures of Grimm.
"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!" Star Platinum's ferocious punches vaporized the evil creatures quickly. "Yare yare… I thought that you were stronger."
"Kakyoin, Polnareff, take Iggy with you and help those kids from the other side of the tower."
Immediately Joseph Joestar was interrupted by a White Fang member.
"Son of a B****! Nobody shoots me while I'm talking! Hermit Purple!" Mister Joestar lassoed and pulled the White Fang member with his stand and knocked him out with a strong punch on his face.
Then, the old man picked up the weapon. "Oh good! This fancy futuristic gun is not so different to that Tommy gun I used in New York many years ago. Jotaro, you should pick one of these weapons, remember that Star Platinum is a short-range stand!"
"Yare yare daze… I don't need it, Jiji. ORA!" Star Platinum hit the ground making an earth wave that hit a couple of enemies that were hiding some meters away.
Finally, Avdol used Magician's Red as fire support against the White Fang soldiers who were shooting at the distance.
"Eat this! Crossfire Hurricane Special!" Several flame ankhs were thrown to all the enemies.
Meanwhile, behind the main tower, several teams of Haven Academy and young huntsman were recovering from the long fight that had to continue.
"Atlesian troops? I thought they were in the Atlas blockade." Commented Blake.
"Well, I don't care if we can have some extra help here. Hey, is that-…?" Sun couldn't believe what his eyes were seeing.
"Weiss!" Shouted loudly the cat faunus.
"Blake?!" The heiress ran towards them.
Belladonna felt her cold and small hands grabbing her neck as she clung to her. A few seconds ago the cat faunus understood that she was hugging her so she embraced Schnee back. She wouldn't expect this warm reaction but guessed time had changed the cold huntress too.
"What are you doing here?! Where have you been all this time?!" The young Schnee asked.
"Too long to explain and this is not the moment and the time. We must stop the White Fang, especially Adam Taurus." Answered the cat faunus but then Neptune interrupted her.
"More creatures of Grimm are coming!"
All the young huntsmen and huntresses tried to be ready to fight again but a little dog appeared in front of them. When the Grimm got closer, a sand creature showed up and roared behind the dog.
The huntsmen and huntresses stared confused at the dog and its stand and then surprise replaced the previous emotion when the sand creature moved and attacked at the Grimm and defeated some of them, vanishing their bodies into a black smoke.
Iggy couldn't help but be a show-off and he would execute a great show for the kids to enjoy. Suddenly, a couple of White Fang members tried to shot at Iggy but they received an Emerald Splash first. Kakyoin and Polnareff had waited for a surprise attack from the enemy all that time. When things got calm, the two stand users spoke with the young warriors.
"Is everybody Ok?" Asked Polnareff.
"Yes, thank you. But, first, who are you? And what are you doing here? I mean: Why did you come to Haven?" Weiss couldn't trust those strangers so easily.
"Yeah! Also, what kind of semblance do you have? Even your dog has one!" Sun was really impressed, he can emit spectral clones of himself but what he saw recently was in another category.
"Semblance?" Polnareff was confused, apparently, these kids could see the stands too.
"Well, my name is 'Kakyoin Noriaki', my confused friend is Jean Pierre Polnareff and this is Iggy."
The dog gave Blake a mischievous smirk that made her shiver frightened. Why did dogs always like her?
"We came here following the trace of a dangerous... 'man' named Dio." Continued explaining Kakyoin before he was interrupted by Blake.
"Dio! Are you talking about Dio Brando?! We saw him recently meeting with some important members of the White Fang. Maybe that's why Adam isn't here…"
"I think all of this is just a distraction to let Adam and the blondie weirdo doing something terrible." Commented Sun.
"Oh, really? Obviously, this is a distraction, monkey boy! But we can let those White Fang vandals bring more chaos." Claimed the young Schnee.
"Kids, we can't lose more time. Where do you think Dio and the other bad guys could be?" Asked the French stand master.
"INTO THE ACADEMY!" Answered Blake, Weiss, Sun, and Neptune at the same time.
Yang and her uncle quickly ascended on top of the city of Haven to arrive at the Huntsman Academy. They could see dark smoke coming from the buildings and Grimm in decomposition phase.
"Do you think it's too late?" Asked Qrow's niece.
"I hope not… Oz would kill me if something happens to the relic." He chuckled to himself. "Not if Salem kills us first with its power."
At the entrance of the academy, there were retired and hurt White Fang soldiers waiting for airships to come for them. Yang and Qrow ignored them because keeping the relic safe was more important than taking care of misguided faunus.
Inside, students were defending their academy risking their lives at it. Xiao Long remembered the disaster of Beacon, how that dragon Grimm appeared from behind a mountain and managed to infest the school with more creatures. Luckily, there was no trace of the evil dragon… yet.
"This way, Yang!"
The fact that her uncle was calling her by her name and not 'firecracker' or some other nickname meant one thing: Things were bleak and about to get worse. They had to run through the huge courtyard to arrive at the main tower, where the relic had been kept all those years. They had to dodge creatures of Grimm to arrive there, Yang wanting to help the students but had to carry on with her uncle. She had never been in Haven and less at the huntsman academy. Its designs were much different from Beacon, having an oriental and elegant style. A shame that the academy was being attacked and destroyed.
Qrow opened the way towards the Academy. He had the advantage that he knew exactly every secret and location on the buildings. They took an easier and shorter way, making the way around the first buildings to avoid distractions. Yang couldn't recognize his uncle, he had never acted so seriously since Summer died.
Xiao Long and Qrow entered the main tower, a big room displayed in front of them. The most notable thing was a sculpture of a beautiful maiden made of white ivory. Her uncle examined the figure, searching for something and inspecting the gold chains the statue woman was holding, but Yang noticed someone on the floor, laying, immobile. She walked towards the man, slowly and carefully, fearing he might be dead.
Branwen noticed that his niece was inspecting a possible survivor, more dead than anything else. But then, he glanced at the corpse and noticed that the man wasn't an ordinary person. He had a lion tail as a faunus trait and a deep grey hair as beard and mane. Qrow joined his niece and stared at his dead eyes. He was dry as if something had sucked his insides.
"Lionheart… It's the headmaster of the Academy." Said Qrow shocked.
Lionheart was a trained huntsman, responsible, experienced and wise headmaster. Seeing him dead in that particular way alarmed and frightened the Huntsman. He had never seen anything like that, a body drained. That meant they were exposed to a new hazard.
"There's no point in staring at him, it's too late. Luckily we will arrive in time to save the relic."
"Since when do you rely on your luck?" Asked the blonde making fun out of his semblance.
Oscar tried to pick up the pace of the former Beacon Academy students, but it was useless. Ozpin's cane was a useless weight and his physical form wasn't strong and resistant enough to endure a fight against Grimm, faunus, and robots. Some weeks of training didn't solve anything.
"Let's fight, Oscar." Said Ozpin on his mind.
It was easy for him to go barking orders from inside his mind. Oscar's aura wasn't as strengthened as necessary to let Ozpin take control of the body during a useful quantity of time.
"I'm a farm boy, not a huntsman." Complained the young Pine.
"The best way to learn to fight is entering the fray." Replied the headmaster of Beacon.
"That's why you died." Realized Oscar terrified.
Despite all the complaining, Oscar was feeling small and useless to help the people at Haven Academy. Those were gigantic Grimm that the negativity attracted, not small ones as he used to kill on his aunt's farm.
"Come on Oscar, you can't be worse than Jaune on the initiation day." Tried to convince Ruby.
A huge hallway was hidden under Haven Academy, a secret sanctuary where the most appreciated relic of the kingdom was being guarded, the best-kept secret. Taurus guided the two strangers until the end of the big basement, where a tough, thick tree with golden dust flowers was protecting the relic. On its trunk, there was a golden mechanism that only a maiden could open to access the relic.
"Ice, be useful for once and 'open' this door." Apparently, the vampire wasn't afraid of last Lionheart's words, that only a maiden could access to the relic.
"As you wish, master Dio" A spectre appeared behind Vanilla Ice and ate him, then the skull-faced humanoid monster devoured itself to become a portal to a void dimension. Finally, the ball-shaped floating portal disintegrated the door making it a big perfect circle in the middle.
Adam stared amazed at the semblance of Dio's henchman, who was capable to destroy he blinded gold door that brought to the chamber where the relic was. They let him pass as he was the one who knew the ancient legends of the relic and its uses.
"I'd never thought that the blood of that coward old man could make me feel so good..." Commented Dio. "Anyway, is that relic ready?"
Taurus got out of the chamber with a chest on his hands that contained the most wanted ancient magic tool on the kingdom.
The doors of the elevator that led to the basement got opened. Yang and her uncle ran through the hallway, seeing how somebody else had arrived first as the door was destroyed. The niece was amazed by the hidden magic tree under Haven Academy and wondered if each Huntsmen academy had one like that in the basements too.
"This is impossible! Only a maiden can open the chamber!" Said Branwen alarmed.
As they got closer, Yang noticed that one of the men was holding a chest, the chest that contained the relic. That man wasn't an ordinary villain. It was Adam Taurus. Yang's left arm started to shake and her irises turned red. Suddenly, the blonde huntress launched herself against Taurus using Ember Celica's powerful recoil.
"KID, WAIT!" Qrow shouted at his niece but she didn't listen to him because of her anger. In that instant, Yang's only wish was to punish that redhead monster. However, she would face another one.
"You're gonna pay for everyth-… AHHGGHHH!" Before the blonde huntress could get close to Adam, something powerful repelled her.
"Finally, some nice company." Dio walked to the young girl an grab her by the neck. Fortunately, her uncle shot against the vampire who dropped Yang to avoid the bullets.
"STAY AWAY FROM HER, FREAK!" Quickly, Qrow attacked Brando with his sword. The huntsman was fast enough to hurt Dio forcing him to use his stand in the battle.
"Hmm. Not bad, but now if you want to defeat The World in a duel, you need to be faster. MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA!" Qrow couldn't avoid all The World's rapid punches, but he wasn't defeated yet.
"Ha ha ha ha ha! Puny humans, no one can surpass Dio!" Brando really wanted to drink the blood of these two brave warriors but there wasn't so much time. On the other hand, Vanilla Ice had used his stand to open a way out to surface during the duel. Adam and Ice had already escaped from the basement. Dio ran away from there too and Qrow tried to follow him but first, he had to check if his niece was fine.
"I'm ok, uncle Qrow, just go get them." Branwen ran behind Dio meanwhile the blonde huntress tried to recover as fast as she can.
On the surface, Adam Taurus had called for a transport and also ordered the retreat of all his troops on Heaven. Dio didn't take so long time to arrive there, neither the airship, so Brando, Ice, and Taurus could board it quickly.
Finally, Qrow only could see how the airship was flying away. He tried to shot it with his shotgun but it was useless. In that moment, Branwen didn't know that he wasn't the only blackbird who watched how an airship was flying away to Haven Academy with Dio Brando and the Relic of Knowledge on it.
To Be Continued.
