Chapter 11. Symphony of Heaven and Hell

Intro: If you don't know it by now, go to chapter ten.

While Lucian, Ruby, Vlade, Weiss and Penny were dealing with two psychopaths, Yang, Ashura and their tag along Neptune made their way through the shady side of Vale on Yang's motorcycle. Well, Yang and Neptune anyway, Ashura was flying through the air on a lightning bolt. Those who saw him pass by simply turned their heads away and pretended nothing happened. "So," Neptune began. "Who exactly is this 'friend' of yours?" Yang, not taking her eyes off the road said calmly, "His name's Junior, he owns a night club around here. Last time I was there, he sent some goons at me." Neptune, now confused about why they were going there asked, "So why are you even thinking about going back there?" Yang laughed and simply said, "Because I got you as backup and also Ashura can easily curb stomp them." "You and your boyfriend are kinda strange aren't ya?" Neptune asked flatly. "I wouldn't have it any other way!" shouted Ashura. "And yes I can hear you!" Neptune gained a frightened expression.

In a matter of minutes, they reached the club. Ashura landed next to where Yang parked and stood calmly behind her. The calmly walked to the door and went in. The ears were then assaulted by the blasting music. Taking a few seconds to regain their senses, they spotted Junior and headed over to him. Junior, seeing the familiar blond again groaned, "Aaaargh, You're back and you brought friend, oh joy." Raising his head he motioned for some bounces. "Alright, you're coming with us" one said grabbing Yang's arm roughly, only for it to be gripped by someone stronger. "You do not treat a lady like that" Ashura commanded, throwing the bouncer aside. Seeing this, the other bouncers headed over to the young Animus. 'He, rushing me isn't going to work' Ashura thought confidently. Ashura dodge the first strike and kicked the goon in the neck, rendering him unconscious. Another bouncer that wielded a night stick tried to strike Ashura from behind, only to receive the blunt end of Ashura's ax and a healthy dose of electric shock. The goon fell into unconsciousness as the young hunter raised his head and said, "Next?" The music had stopped shortly after the quick skirmish started. But a noise did penetrate the silence, a low clap. "My," a sinister voice began. "It appears that your establishment is no longer safe Junior." On the stage, a strange man appeared. He was tall, taller than Lucian. He hid his eyes behind a pair of shades that hung snugly on his face. His hair was light blond almost white. It was shot but extremely spiked. He wore a black trench coat over a black Kevlar shirt. His pants were also black as was his boots and gloves. His face was passive, completely devoid of emotion. On his back was a black crate with the DDG symbol.

"Dark Dawn," Ashura said lowly with anger, shocking both Yang and Neptune. "Wesker!" Junior yelled at the man. Wesker turned his head towards the owner and said calmly, "I shall dispose of this rabble, quickly." With that Wesker disappeared and reappeared in front of Ashura, his right gloved hand now sporting large black claws. The surprise strike was block thanks to the Animus's preflexes. "Clever aren't you?" the DDG agent asked. Ashura smiled and said, "I prefer, shocking!" With that a surge of electricity left Ashura and entered Wesker, stunning his. "AAAAARGH!" the agent groaned and was quickly repelled from Ashura. Wesker quickly flashed away and reappeared behind Ashura and before he could react, Wesker slashed him in the back. "GAAAAHHH!" Ashura yelled, blood flying from the wound. Yang, seeing her love wounded, charged Wesker. Wesker skillfully dodged most of her attacks, but one caught him in the stomach. Wesker slid back, the close range blast leaving a visible wound. "Pathetic," Wesker stated as he straightened himself as his wound and clothing rapidly healed. Wesker prepared to strike again, but was forced to dodge as Neptune lunged toward him with his trident. Wesker then disappeared and reappeared rapidly around the three hunters, but one caught something. 'He's not teleporting!' Ashura realized. Ashura eyes and other senses were catching on quickly. 'He is greatly increasing his speed. He's faster Ruby no doubt, but he can only do this for short distances. And it looks like he can't keep this up for long. Guess Ruby wins in the endurance department here.' Ashura's eyes quickly caught up to the agent and was judging where his next stop was. "it should be,' he began mentally. He then suddenly turned around and thrusted his ax outwards and caught Wesker in the chest. "Here! THUNDER BURST!" and just like that an explosive round surrounded in lightning collided with the agent and sent him flying into the walls. Wesker dislodged himself and dropped to the floor. Getting to his feet, the agent yelled, "This isn't over!" With that he ran out the door. "Come on we're going after him" Ashura yelled, rushing after Wesker with Yang and Neptune close behind. "Is it always like with you guys?" Neptune asked. "Hey you could be bored out of your mind with Jaune!" Yang replied cheerfully.

~~Meanwhile~~

"ACHOO!" a familiar blond hair boy sneezed. "Bless you" a familiar red head stated handing the young man a tissue. "Thanks Pyrrha" Jaune said giving Pyrrha a loving smile. Pyrrha responded by giving a quick kiss on the cheek. "Someone must be talking about you!" a cheery orange hair girl said excitedly. "You need to calm down Nora, we're in a public place" Ren said pulling back into her seat. Nora pouted and said cutely, "You're no fun." Ren chuckled a little and said softly, "I can show you how fun I can be." Nora blushed and giggled happily. "So, what do you think they others are doing?" Jaune asked.

~~Meanwhile~~

In a hidden alley way, the other group of three young hunters were spying on a pair of young Faunuses. Blake's head peaked around the corner watching the pair's interaction with a look out. Bringing her head back she stared at the wall that had a small white claw mark on it. "This is the place" she said calmly. Mephisto nodded, he tagged the pair earlier and prepared to do the same for his love and somewhat friend. "Don't worry, I'll be close by." Mephisto said softly, kissing Blake's forehead. Then in a flash of green fire, he disappeared. Blake nodded to Sun, and then they both headed in. After putting on the standard White Fang mask, Blake and Sun joined the crowd and waited for the signal. The crowd suddenly became silent as Torchwich made his way onto the stage flanked by two scientist wearing DDG uniforms. The crowd then became restless. "Please, calm yourselves, I am on your side. Many are wondering why is a Human here? And I'll be the first one to say it, Humans are the worst. Case in point" Roman pointed towards himself. "So I understand why you are so afraid to be locked away or better yet killed. But before anything breaks out I would like to mention the fact you and I are all have a common enemy. The ones in control."

High above on the warehouse ceiling, Mephisto waited, his anger growing. Blow him a con man was tricking frustrated Faunuses to work for him and the DDG. But his focus was made more intense by what happened next. "So I and my friends from the prestigious Dark Dawn Group would like to give you all a gift" with that Roman stepped back and the curtain behind him fell, revealing a large mech behind him. "This used to be the latest weapon in the Atlas military's arsenal. Now it has been remained." The mech was at least 40 if not 50 feet tall. It was humanoid in shape. The chest area was well armored with twin thin red lenses on it and what appeared to be a hatch. The shoulders were also heavily armored. The left shoulder was a large shield like piece that covered it and the upper arm. The right shoulder was dome shaped with four conical spikes jutting out of it. The waist was thin and connected to a robust lower torso. The legs were human like and had large vents in the back. On the back of the mech was a back pack like device that had a large vent and two tubes that went from it to the chest. Finally the head looked like a gas mask crossed with a helmet. The opening on the head showed a single red eye. On the center brow, was a short metal fin. The mech was colored primarily white, with red and black accents. The large shield even had the White Fang symbol on it. "This, my brave soldiers is the Sleeve mk.1, the first in the line of advance mobile weapon platforms developed by the DDG. With these you shall have your justice."

"Bold claims from a false prophet!" a loud voice declared. Then next to Torchwick a large geyser of dark green flame erupted. In a second it was gone and in its place was Mephisto. "What you have there is a new weapon that will create pawns in the DDG's war." Turning towards the crowd, Mephisto bowed. "Greetings, I am Mephisto Erlking. I am here to stop you from going down the path that false prophets like these that guided you down. In the beginning, the White Fang was a peaceful group, devoted to helping their fellow Faunus and working to create equal rights. A peaceful civil rights group, they were, until a few twisted men and women sought to use them as a tool to further their own agenda. Now, you all are probably asking, 'What grounds does he have to say these accusations?' Well, I'll show you." Mephisto carefully lifted his arm, then to everyone's surprise, he quickly slashed it open. Many in the first rows ducked away, but they felt no splatter. Looking up they saw the spilled blood hovering in the air, glowing green like Mephisto's eyes. This sight was impossible to comprehend for many. "What you see here is what proves I'm not Human" Mephisto stated as his cut arm rapidly healed. "I was a weapon created by the DDG to be use as they saw fit. But I rejected that fate and now use my power to protect the innocent." A slow clap was the statement's follow up. "That's a nice story, too bad it's the last someone will hear it!" a voice laughed. Stepping from the shadows a young man appeared. His long blond hair was tied into a ponytail. His face was painted white like a clown. His violet eyes held mischief and malice intent. He wore a red dress shirt over a puffy white under shirt. His nails were long and claw like. He wore green dress pants with a green belt that had a golden buckle. In his hair was a pair of feathers. "Allow me to introduce myself, I am Kefka and I was created to kill you" the now named Kefka stated calmly. "Now please died, and try not to get your blood on my new shoes they're quite expensive." With that Kefka fired a golden blast at Mephisto. The young hunter reacted quickly and turned his spilt blood into a repulsion glyph. The golden blast bounce off the green barrier and flew past the wicked clown, who did not react in the slightest. Off stage an explosion blasted a large crate onto the stage. This made Kefka react. "Ignore that crate, it's not important," Kefka said quickly. Reacting like a normal person, Mephisto quickly dashed forward and grabbed the crate. Turning towards the crowd, Mephisto yelled, "Blake, Sun were leaving now!" With that the young Demon Shard leapt into the crowd, putting his hands on Blake and Sun's shoulders and teleported them away.

Kefka blinked and turned to Torchwick. "Well Roman, I guess it's time to give chase, chop chop" the mad clown stated amused, clapping his hands in rhythm of his last two words. The master thief quickly activated the mech behind him, quickly entering the hatch. Roman sat in the pilot seat and watched as the walls in front and to the sides quickly showed the area around him. Kefka hovered into the air and sat himself of the metal titan's right shoulder, holding one of the spikes. The mech's jets engaged and it shot forward, ready to hunt down its targets. "Whoohoohooo! I can get used to this!" Torchwick declared inside of the cockpit. The thief quickly checked the on board weapon systems and like what he saw. "Oh, a wrist mounted Gatling Gun, a charge ion ax and twin laser turrets mounted on the side. I always love getting new toys!" Torchwick proclaimed with glee. He soon saw the few nuisances up ahead and was closing in.

~~Meanwhile~~

"I'm surprise nothing happened" Ren stated stoically. "What do you mean?" Juane asked the only other male member of their team. Ren sighed and said, "Usually, something our friends are involved with seems to come and drag us into it. I am happy to say that we had a relatively normal double date." Nora simply giggled and poked Ren in the cheek, "Aw, come on Ren, it's not always like that." Ren finally smiled and said happily, "I guess you're right. It's probably just my imagination." It was at this moment that the universe proved him wrong. Mephisto, flying on a glyph with Blake and Sun, flew past the four as bullets and golden shots of light traced after them. It source was revealed as the pursuing mech came blasting through with Kefka sitting on its right shoulder. Three of the four members of team JNPR were stunned while Ren on the other hand had an eye twitch that was normally seen on Lucian. "Do I have to say it?" the ebony haired boy asked.

~~Meanwhile~~

Mephisto guided the floating glyph at break neck speed, swerving and weaving through the busy streets as the screams of surprise and fear filled the peaceful town. It finally seemed that the trio made it to an open area when a figure flashed into existence before them. This caused Mephisto to make a drastic move as he cancelled the glyph after slowing down. Reacting in the way to reduce damage, the three rolled along the ground, finally stopping and regaining their senses. "Well, certainly not doing that again anytime soon" Mephisto said helping Blake up. "Yes because your lives are about to end" a malicious voice stated. The three looked up and saw the man that randomly appeared earlier flexing is claws at them. Mephisto instinctually slung the case over his shoulder. The three young hunters got ready for a last stand, "Wesker, get out of the way!" or maybe not. The now revealed Wesker quickly dashed to the side avoiding being smashed into the ground by Virgil and Anderson. The two assassins straightened themselves and turned to see the young trio. "Talk about an early birthday present" Anderson said gleefully, drawing one of his countless blades. Virgil sent a deadly, and disturbing, three eyed glare at the three. "Hand over the artifact now or be destroyed" Virgil said venomously.

"Hey, wasn't Kefka supposed to be guarding it?" Anderson asked. "Not my fault, blame the faulting warehouse," a condescending voice stated. The six hunters and DDG agents turned to see Kefka arriving on the shoulder of Roman's Sleeve. Mephisto's grip on his staff tightened as his anger and determination grew. "I'd rather die than let you have this! With all of my strength, heart and soul, I'll make sure that you're sent straight to hell!" Mephisto yelled as his hellish green flames swirled around him forming a winged silhouette behind him, giving him an intimidating appearance. Virgil smiled viciously, "Have it your way." "NOT TODAY BASTARD!" a familiar voice yelled. The three assassins moved out of the way quickly as a red and black blur impacted into the ground. Dust was picked up and a large cloud of debris formed. Suddenly a red blade sliced through the cloud and cleared it, and a scowling Lucian was revealed shouldering his massive blade. His dark red aura swirling around him, some of it taking the shape of wolf heads. His face had the facial markings showing that he was tapping into his inner Grimm nature. In a few seconds bats gathered by the thousands high in the air, blocking out the sun momentarily before gathering in a turning mass that formed into a humanoid shape. And from it, Vlade appeared with Ruby, Weiss and Penny in tow. In a flash of lightning Ashura landed next to Mephisto, spinning his ax in his hand before pointing it towards the enemies before him, with Yang and Neptune riding in like an army's Calvary. Torchwick prepared his mech's Vulcan gun when an explosion knocked the machine off balance.

"Is it too late to join?" a familiar voice asked. Turning the assembled hunters saw team JNPR who were battle ready. Lucian smirked and yelled back, "You're right on time." Turning towards their adversaries, Lucian said in a serious voice, "Mephisto, Vlade, Ashura and I will handle the DDG agents, the rest of you need to take out that mech." Roman, from the safety of the Sleeve's cockpit laughed, "Man, I haven't had a good laugh in a while. Them? They can't even fight their way out of a bag let alone destroy a next generation super weapon. I mean seriously-!" before he could finish his rant Ruby used Crescent Rose's sniper rifle form to take out the machine's eye. "Oops," Ruby said sarcastically, "my finger slipped." Virgil, not wasting any time, charged at Ruby, seeking to cut here in half. But he was stopped by his sword colliding with Lucian's giant blade. "Not today!" Lucian yelled kicking Virgil backwards and drawing his revolvers. Lucian fired round after round in quick succession but Virgil had already recovered and was deflecting the bullets with almost invisible sword swings. Detecting something charging towards him, Lucian jumped out of the way as Wesker slashed. 'He's fast' the Grimmborn thought to himself. Luckily for him, Ashura caught the clawed foe off guard and sent him flying with a lightning charged ax swing. Anderson was next to intervene, but was stopped by Vlade thrusting Shadow Walker towards his head and was forced to leap back. Kefka, deciding to play smart, glided back while simultaneously firing an onslaught of golden magical bolts at the four hunters. Mephisto summoned a shield glyph and stopped the volley. Lucian, seeing that they needed an edge, decided to use something he was saving up. 'It's now or never' Lucian thought. He held his Stampede Hunters to his sides and like magic, the top covers popped off, revealing the large metal compartment above the barrel held a rod of pure red Dust that was set between two strange prongs. The Dust rods began to spin rapidly as he held the guns before him. Calmly, Lucian uttered two words, "Zero Impact." And like rockets, two bullets covered in thick red auras flew from the barrels with a large bang. Virgil, on instinct, swung his sword and hit the deadly bullets. But the contact caused the rounds to explode violently, shattering the sword and sending Virgil sliding back along the ground, creating a small trench in his wake. The three other agents helped their comrade up and sent glares at the four. Kefka, deciding to check up on Torchwick, did not like what he saw. The theif was force to exit the now heavily damaged mech. 'Hopefully he saved the combat data. Looks like those students use the obvious weaknesses of the prototype, that and Torchwick's cockiness didn't help. Now how to get out of here?' As if someone heard his mental pleas, a strange girl with brown and pink hair and mismatched brown and pink eyes appeared in a sound of breaking glass. 'Thank you evil forces of the universe!' the mad clown laughed mentally.

'That sound!' the members of LAVM screamed mentally. And to prove what they were thinking, Yang charged forward to punch her, only to have the girl, Torchwick, and the agents turned into nothing but shattered glass. "Damn it, illusions!" Lucian hissed, but calmed down once they saw that they left behind the three crates in their haste. "Huh, guess it's not a total loss" Lucian said with a sigh.

~~Later~~

"Gah! Watch what you're doing!" Virgil hissed. They were back at the hideout after escaping the assembled hunters in training. Virgil was currently sitting on a stool with nothing but his pants on as the girl that saved them gave him first aid. The girl gave him a harsh glare but didn't say anything. In all honesty, the young demon enjoyed the silent girl's company. At she gave him peace and quiet when he needed it. "Well, ain't that a precious sight. Two lovers enjoying each other's company." Anderson declared with a wicked smirk. Virgil gave the mad assassin a deadly glare before saying, "Well then Anderson, because you're the most healed, you get to tell the higher ups what happened." At this Anderson frowned, "You cheeky little bastard."

~~Meanwhile~~

"Have you recovered everything?" Ozpin asked Longbow through their scrolls. "Just about." Longbow answered, "Most of the wreckage is being sent to the Experimental Robotics Research Department." Ozpin laced his hands at this. He thanked Longbow before ending the transmission. Turning towards Ironwood and Glynda, Ozpin said calmly, "It seems that because of their action today, not only do we have three of the legendary artifacts but now your scientist have something to play with, isn't that right James?" Ironwood nodded. "Yes, the Sleeve wreckage is going to be dissected and examined by professionals." Glynda gave the general a questioning look. "Who might these 'professionals' be James?" "They are the head scientist in charge of the Mobile Hunter project, headed by Prof. Schenberg." Ironwood responded. "Your biggest critic?" Ozpin asked, genuinely surprised. Ironwood nodded, "While are political view may differ, this new development put us in the same boat. Hopefully this crisis can be solved before then." Ozpin and Glynda both nodded at this.
