Hey, UknownHero here and welcome to another chapter of the IBLS Chronicles. For those who don't know what IBLS is, write Iblis on Google because I'm too lazy to tell you all except say that it's basically a Muslim Devil. Anyway, my school year is done so expect more updates for my fic sooner. Anyway, let's start this thing!

Load Game… Start!

Chapter 4: Land, Shop and Fight

It was a peaceful morning in Vale. The sun was shining, the birds that weren't going to kill everyone were singing, the grass glistened with mildew, the sky was clear of clouds and the land of Vytal started to wake up, ready to perform their various jobs and kill the Creatures of Grimm. It was normal…

Until the plane landed.

"They really cheaped out on this plane for us." Igneous said with a sweat drop as the door fell off its rusted hinges when he pushed it open, "Seriously, this thing is slow as shit."

"Hey, this plane doesn't have a good Dust mileage so I modified it to burn Dust at a slower rate. We get a better distance but a slower flight." Burns explained as he shut the door,

"Take what you can get, Ig. At least we're finally here!" Skye said with optimism in her voice as the rest of girls got out. Their clothes were stitched pretty badly but O.B promised them she would buy new clothes for them since they either left their luggage back home or it was destroyed, though Blizzard knew she would just buy the exact same set of clothes that they were wearing now. Luckily her gloves barely took damage from the fight a month ago, "Anyway, we still have a day or two to grab some stuff, right?"

"Yeah," Bliz spoke up, "We should find a place to stay at least before we leave for Beacon, some supplies like ammo and arrows and maybe new clothes because I think there's a hole in my pants." Bliz said as she covered the hold,

"We should get some food first, I'm starving…" Luna complained as she held her growling stomach,

"The airport probably has a food court. Let's eat there." The future team and O.B said good-bye and thanks to Burns before making their way to the food court. As they walked through the airport, Igneous, Blizzard, Luna & Skye felt uncomfortable as they looked through the crowd of people. There were so many people that looked like they seen things they shouldn't have or carrying a weapon, regardless of being a Hunter or not. It was sad to see this, "This place is beautiful but it doesn't mean it has its own problems." O.B said, noticing their sad expressions,

"And now that we're here, there'll be more to add." Ig muttered, 'We have to find this guy before he tries to kill anyone we love.' Ig thought, remembering that they had people waiting for them back home and they weren't going to fail them. He snapped out of his thoughts when he saw a group of people holding up picket signs and chanting. He then noticed the ears, "Okay, what the fuck?"

"Those are Fauna or Faunus, whatever you want to call them," O.B explained, "They're basically people who have animalistic features. I heard that they're now treated equally but it doesn't mean they're not discriminated against." This angered them. They all hated racism and this is just as stupid as Earth's version of racism. But Luna was the one who was angered the most, but pushed it down to the other's level of anger. When they reached the food court, they all ate in silence. After that, they caught a taxi to the Shopping District, "Alright, I'll go get a place to stay, your school stuff and some spare clothes while you guys go out and explore for a bit."

"Okay, O.B." Bliz said as her older sister went to a random store, "C'mon guys, let's go get some clothes." She said as she showed the 500 lien O.B gave each of them. They all got replacements for their old clothes before they all separated to get their own stuff they want. Igneous bought some headphones and got a gift card he would use on his new Scroll to download some music and some new arrows. Blizzard was going to a weapons maker to see if she could modify her staff (which ticked Skye off a little for some reason). Luna went off to get some extra ammo for her Silenced and maybe an upgrade. And Skye was window shopping at a weapons store and bought extra air tanks with stronger containers. Soon, it was becoming night and Igneous was just wandering around, listening to 'Angel With a Shotgun' by the Cab. He was going to go find his friends when he saw a shop he was about to walk pass.

From Dust, Till' Dawn

'Sure, why not.' Ig thought as he walked into the store. The first thing he saw was Dust, thought not surprising considering the name of the shop. He asked earlier how much Dust cost and his jaw dropped at the price. He was sure the Hope Diamond was cheaper than Dust. And he was wondering when his Fire Dust in his Switch-Sword will run out. He just sighed and saw some gaming magazines on a rack at the back of the shop so he settled for reading a few. He pulled up his hood and started reading about the new releases, not noticing a certain red cloaked girl walk up next to him and start reading a weapons magazine. Because Igneous' headphones were a bit big for his head, they slipped off after a few minutes. He caught it before it hit the ground and was about to put them back on when he heard the bell ring and multiple footsteps, 'Shit, this might be a robbery.' Ig thought as he quickly put on his headphones and acted like he didn't notice. He shifted the left speaker out of the way so he could eavesdrop,

"Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a Dust shop open this late?" A man said. When Igneous heard a click of a gun, he knew he had to do something, but not now,

"P-please! Just take my Lien and leave!" Ig resisted a growl, hating the fact that this asshole was robbing an innocent old man,

"Shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, calm down, we're not here for your money." That calmed Igneous down a little, until he realized there was something more valuable in here, "Grab the Dust." And that pissed him back off, 'I need to stop him.' Ig thought as he looked to his left and saw a girl in a red hood. He was about to nudge her into getting her to hide until he saw a strange looking gun attached to her hips. He quickly out his head phones in the right place when he heard someone coming,

"Alright kids, put your hands where I can see 'em." The henchman said as he pulled out his sword. He got annoyed when the two punks didn't even move, "Hey, I said hands in the air! You two got a death wish or something!?" He yelled out more forcibly as he turned them both around, causing their hoods to fall,

"Sorry, what?" Ig asked as he pulled off his head phones,

"Yes?" The girl in the red cloak asked as well as she pulled her ones off,

"I said, put your hands in the air, now!" The man yelled at them, now past breaking point. Ig didn't show it but right now, he was angry, 'This guy is dressed up like the guys who wanted to kill us!' He shared a look with the silver-eyed girl before they both said,

"Are you… robbing us?"

"Yes!" The man exclaimed, finally getting somewhere,

"Oooooohhhhh…" The two future Hunter & Huntress say. There was a beat before Igneous kicked him in the balls while the girl picked him up and threw him against a wall. The other men noticed the two young kids and one pointed a gun at them,

"Freeze!" He yelled. Ruby & Igneous only smirked.

(Two seconds later...)

Blizzard heard someone screaming about a robbery not far from her location so she quickly paid the man and got out her staff before running towards it. She was about to enter the store when two blurs, one coloured red and the other black, crashed through the window with a goon. Bliz then saw it Igneous, the same uniform of the assassins and a girl she's never seen before, it reminded her of Red Riding Hood.

Until she pulled out her over-sized Scythe.

"Nice Scythe." Igneous said as he pulled out Raging Soul,

"Nice sword." Ruby said back, resisting the urge to fangirl,

"Okayyy..." A man in a white trench coat said in disbelief, "Get them!" Bliz knew she had to step in now so she quickly made Frozen Dreams into Frozen Nightmare and quickly charged in. She quickly bashed a henchman's skull, but saw no gore came out, instead just knocking him out with a head wound on him. She quickly shook her head and went back into battle. Igneous quickly tried to slice a neck off but only cut jugular, feeling a force pushing his sword back. He didn't care because he would die soon so he quickly threw a goon to Ruby and kicked one to Bliz, who he just noticed now. Ruby was kicking ass as she kicked one away and she stabbed her Scythe to the ground and aimed so that the gun would shoot away from them. She braced herself and fires it off to hit another one with the butt of her weapon, sending him flying. She fires again and brings the side down on one attacker and dodges the next's gunfire with her rifle's speed, getting close enough to knock him into the air and follow him upwards so she can beat him away to the leader's feet. Ig & Bliz killed the last two and went next to Ruby, "You were worth every cent. Truly, you were." The man muttered as he got his cane out, "Well Red, Black and Shorts, I think we can all say it's been an eventful evening, and as much as I'd love to stick around..." He then pressed a button and revealed a rifle with a cross grid on it, "...I'm afraid this is where we part ways." He fired. Ruby flipped away but 'Black' & 'Shorts' stayed, frozen to see the man that caused all their problems. Ruby didn't have time to yell as the bullet exploded, causing her to shield her eyes. A few seconds later, she opened her eyes to see a girl with pale blonde hair around her age, maybe younger, using an oversized circular shield before it shrunk back into metal gauntlets,

"Not even 3 hours and we're already in the middle of something." Luna said as deactivated her new upgrade and she caught her breath. She literally just ran 3 blocks in 13 seconds just to save her friends, "Kuso…"

"Hey, bad guy's getting away." Ig stated as he pointed at him as he was climbing the ladder,

"You okay if we go after him?" Ruby asked the shopkeeper, who only responded in an 'uh huh'. While Igneous and two of the girls of IBLS took the ladder, Ruby used her advanced recoil to jump up to the roof, "Hey!"

"Persistent." He grumbled under his breath as the others got up as well. Suddenly, a helicopter came out of nowhere, thought it reminded Igneous of a cargo bob. The man jumped on his getaway vehicles and pulled out a red crystal, "End of the line, kiddies!" he yelled as he threw the Fire Dust at them,

"Oh fuck no!" Skye yelled as she came from behind and fired her Air Cannon, blowing the Dust back at the man. He fired, causing the Dust to explode. It damaged the helicopter a bit and it flung it back but it quickly stabilized,

"Whoa-ho-ho-ho!" he yelled out with a sick smile as he thought the explosion killed them, until he saw something past the smoke, "Huh?" He then saw a woman in a strange, purple cape was now in front of the group of teens, casting a circle of protection over them with her wand. Only one word came to everyone's mind.

'Huntress.' Glynda Goodwitch waved her wand as the others looked on in amazement as she summoned purple magic missiles and sent them towards the helicarrier. Roman stumbled as he tried to find something to grab onto and eventually found his way to the cockpit,

"We got a Huntress!" He told the driver. The woman mentally sighed as she thought this would be an easy job before she passed on the controls to Roman and walked to the back of the heil. Outside, Glynda didn't let up her assault and summoned black storm clouds. Roman noticed it and thought for a split second if it was going to rain.

And it did. Just not rain drops.

Roman was struggling to keep the heli in the air while dodging ice shards from the cockpit, while one nearly going into his brain. Crimson knew she needed to work fast so she didn't mess around and aimed a burst of fire at the Huntress. Glynda quickly blocks it, but the fire splatters everywhere. Blizzard, Luna & Skye realized they were too close to the action and quickly rolled out of the way, "IGNEOUS!" Blizzard yelled as she saw the swordsman just staring at the battle. Crimson smirked as she made the embers of her flames glow before setting them off. Glynda flipped away but Igneous didn't react at all, not believing what he was seeing.

Then all he saw was flames.

Save Game… Quit!

I feel like I'm getting better with this each and every chapter. Anyway, I hope you like reading this!
