~Prologue~

"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, makes violent revolution inevitable" John F. Kennedy

Such in the name, a story can be settled by it. It is in the day; people always believed of unity towards one another, to seek a better tomorrow. But with all good things, it doesn't last forever. When the four kingdoms of Remnant formed, it started to separate the kingdoms, placing them into what would eventually be, a violent struggle to maintain who gets the top billings of Remnant. And that sparked a revolution, of hate; and ignorance.

Such things last from short periods to long, gruesome years of blood being shed. And as the sky settled, the four kingdoms decided it was in their best interest to bring a guardian to bring peace, and to more importantly; stop the bloodshed to go worse. And as the guardians brought the four kingdoms together once more, it reunited burned relationships in the trade foundations. Most importantly, it brought that the four kingdoms needed a source of education, and the academy's were then born.

With all good things however, the darkness still hides, with multiple factions ranging from the White Fang due to the racial battle of the new modified human race, the faunus. Then, old gangs from Mistral, Atlas, Vale and Vacuo returned; ranging from The Minute Men gang to Cloak and Dagger. But, with all good things, the goodness of the world will eventually have its light come to an end.

~Act I: Team MAE~

~Chapter I: A Mission of Circumstance~

Time: Dawn

~Area: Northeast of the defunct kingdom of Mantle

~One year and Nine Months until the 40th Vytal Festival

High in the sky, there is to be a Elysian carrier ship heading to a undisclosed location northeast of the defunct kingdom of Mantle. In the ship, has three young huntsmen in training, along with a small group of Elysian soldiers. As the soldiers finish loading their weapons, the three young huntsmen go to the center to be informed. As a screen comes down from the roof, it displays a live feed from General James Ironwoods office in the kingdom/academy of Atlas.

"Team MAE," Ironwood says directly, "you three are assigned to negotiate the rescue of Atlas's head of relationships for the kingdoms future. Her name is Justinia Frice, and thanks to satellite images, we know she is at this location. If anything comes down to a shoot-down, I need you to get her, by any means; alive." Elena Sin, leader of Team MAE then says to Ironwood then says to him; "Understood sir, I can assure you that if it comes down, Margro will get her if it comes to a chasing point of view. If the shoot-down happens; Auro and I will help the Elysian soldiers apprehend them, but not to kill the Faunus members."

Ironwood then says, "Understood. Just remember that Justinia is the target and to get her, that's all that we need." The transmission then cuts out, as Margro says to Elena; "You sure you want to go with this plan? I mean, it may not work." Elena then says, "No, for right now though; its the only option we got." Margro looks at her as Elena shows signs facially of doubt. "Look," Margro says to Elena; "I know your younger than me, and that I am admitably the one who came up with the plan, but we need you to lead not just us, but the soldiers."

As Elena is starting to word something out; Auro comes over, with Elenas new weapon; as he says, "Cmon, we got a lot more to do than feel regretful. I mean," he then pauses for a quick second to then say, "I mean that not everything is bad, and that it can always get better, before it even gets worse." Margro looks at him with anger, but Auro shrugs it off if it was nothing. "Auro does have somewhat..and I mean somewhat a point." Elena says in a tone that sounds more uplifted.

As she says that; one of the soldiers tell them that they are almost at the landing zone, as team MAE gets their weapons. And as they retrieve their weapons; Elena quickly rotates her weapon. As she remembered; two weeks after the events of Ro Dao, Elenas old weapon started to fall apart, and was replaced by a new; Dero xk51, which infused blade techniques from Vacuos best craftsmen and Atlas new blaster weapons. For Elena; she had a hard time to get used to the new weapon, but as time went on; it became much faster for her to attack and to stand back.

Margro and Auro on the other hand, had major repairs taken to their weapons, the Flame Gauntlets and wanted to keep their weapons in a way. For Auro, he wanted to specifically upgrade his to attack at a longer range, and that Margro wanted it just back to work in top of the line. And so it was, and as they trained it became apparent that Elena was starting to take charge and started to become what Nao would have been, a true leader.

But; as Elena finished looking her weapon; she was halted of reminiscing of the months since the incident of Ro Dao, the carrier came to a sudden halt; with Elena tripping and almost falling. And for a moment, there was silence, excluding the winds outside the carrier going at a luke-warm speed. And then, the pilot said; "Alright, lets get moving with this mission."

The door opens as the soldiers from the ship with Elena, Auro and Margro get out and the others not far behind also start. And as quick as it was, they started to make the short trek, through the snowing hills to an isolated trading outpost, that has been left in ruins. And as Elena looks at the ship, she says, "May the semblance work for me this time." And so begins team MAEs mission to retrieve Justinia Frice and to find if they can get any Intel on White Fangs whereabouts, where-ever in the four kingdoms of Remnant.

As they traverse in the snow, Elena; Auro and Margro stay close with the Elysian soldiers, and as such to keep Elena occupied; she kept asking a few Elysian soldiers some questions. They all mostly said classified, all excluding one question, "Sorry for asking this," Elena says in a bit of a childish deminer, "Why didn't they want to send the Knights instead of you guys?" The one soldier that actually responded said to her, "Due to this portion of mantle being so close to the north end, the temperatures would freeze the Knights at a rate that they would be in-vulnerable. The reason why they sented us all was that with special gear; we can keep ourselves warm and able to attack at extremely longer periods of time that the Knights can't."

Elena then went quiet as she kept walking as they then saw the defunct trading village. As Elena, Auro and Margro look to the village, the soldiers warn them to be extra careful as team MAE starts to walk to the village, with the soldiers going quiet, Elena, Margro and Auro stay close as they enter the town square, with the Soldiers keeping an eye from the roofs near the trading zone. Elena, Auro and Margro are then surrounded by the individuals holding Justinia hostage; The Cloak and Dagger gang. They kept their eyes on Auro as Margro came in front to address them, "We've come here for Mrs. Frice. If you don't give in to your part of the situation; we will take Justinia by force." Margro says as she stands, defying the original orders, that expressed Elena to be the one that'd address the gangs party.

As Elena and Auro witnessed that happen; there was pure silence all around the center of the town, as the Elysian forces all became worried of revolt after Margros actions. And then, for a second, a man came and walked to Margro, as she became alone; with Elena and Auro keeping an eye on the other soldiers. The man said to Margro, "So, you are here for the head of Relationship back at Atlas?" Margro keeps her voice quiet with caution as she says, "Why yes! Its for the sake of private manners." The man looks around, and then waves with the index finger and thumb closed. "Well then, I'm sure that can work in our favor." As he finishes waving, the woman; Justinia Frice comes out being dragged with a bag on her head. "I'm sure that the currency was sent to us, correct?" Margro says to the male, "Shouldn't that be known by now?" He thinks, as Elena has one hand on her new weapon, and Auro leaning at a certain readying position. "Well then," he says; "you may be onto something here."

And as soon as he said that; the Cloak and Daggers own weapons were then locked on Justinia and Margro, as Margro and Auro became tense, with their weapons at their ready. The Elysian soldiers then have their aiming set right at the Cloak and Daggers gang members. It then became quickly apparent that it turned to a major shootout waiting for the first bullet to strike. Elena then quickly tried to come in, as she said; "Is this really what we want? If I was to say something, we came here for the safety of the kingdom of Atlas, that has needed to branch out to multiple places. Not just the three other kingdoms of Remnant. For the sake of your organization, and for the Elysian military; I suggest we talk this out."

Auro and Margro quickly looked at her with two things, fear and respect. When those two came, Elena was then looked at by the male, as he was puzzled by her. "I would like to speak to the girl, without the weapons of the two parties at our heads." As he said that, the guns of the cloak and dagger came down as he then asked her; "I suggest you do the same for your party, miss." Elena then agreed as she stood, looking at Margro and Auro to stop and then looked around, giving a signal to lower their weapons as they so do so.

As Elena does that; she is then asked, "Would you mind if I invite you for some tea ma'am as we talk about Justinia?" Elena says, "Only if Justinia joins with us." He then agrees, as Elena; Justinia and the male goes to a tent located at the center. "I'm sorry if this is not in as good of a condition as it can be, even for your Elysian standards." he says. "Sir, you mind if I get a name for you?" he then expresses, "Eric, Eric Andersain." She smiles and says, "Well hello Eric. My name is Elena."

Elena then remembers; "Oh, right! I forgot a bit. So, I assume our part has been given to you though; yes? Or was there a transaction error?" Eric says to her; "Yes, about that. I should come clean that it was mainly a test to see who really was in control. I guess I know who's leading now." Elena says then, "I guess that I should apologize on one of my partners. But with that out of the way, I would say its safe to assume Miss Justina," as she comes into the room; with the bag still on her head as shes seated.

She is then quickly lifted of the bag on her head as she sees Elena. Eric then says; "I suppose that its proper time that you are introduced to miss," He looks at her as she looks at Elena with both hope and worrisome. "Justina. Justina Shiv Frice. And I know very well who you are, Miss Elena Sin. Young leader of team MAE and looking for..something. Whatever that is, i'm sure you can tell the man who is a leader of a infamous assassination job on a group once living in Mistral that had a woman called-" Eric then slaps Justina before she could finish her sentence. She then keeps quiet as Elena looks at Justina with doubt and wonder on what she would of said.

Eric then rushes and says; "You mind if you take miss Frice away from this town? As much as I love a self-centered ass, I would like Justina to go back to Atlas." Elena says back; "You mind if I contact you about..whatever it was when I return to Atlas?" Eric says, "Fine; but I want to speak with Ironwood aswell." Elena then responds with; "Fine." As Elena said that, she grabbed Justina as she started walking out of the village, with Margro; and Auro getting next to her with the soldiers coming up aswell. And as they left the area, Eric looked at the last of the Elysian soldiers; saying quietly. "For your sake Elena, I hope to god that She doesn't come after you."

And as soon as he said that; he noticed the wind starting to get more violent, as he finds a figure standing behind him, saying; "I hope you made sure that it'd be the last conversation that you would ever say. Eric." As the figure said that, the winds became worse to the point of hearing the screams of Eric being not even able to make a dent for the Cloak and Dagger to hear. And as Elena, Auro, Margro, Justina and the Elysian military made it in the airships, heading to Atlas; Elena thinks, "Who did Justina want to speak of?"
