Chapter 3
Time: Two days after the events of the docks
Location: Dinning hall of the HQ
"Do you know in normal schools when there is a gossip about something and people just start to spread only so then everyone sees the person who is the source of the whole thing like the weirdest thing?" asked Axl to Drake while he just ate his food.
"I feel like that right now." Replied Axl as he looked around only to see various of the cadets and some old hunters focusing back on their tables.
"Except you are not the gossip but him." Said a voice that Drake did not recognize making look behind him to see a man wearing a dark purple suit with some white and yellow on it with a white undershirt and some kind of bracelets that reminded him of Yang`s Ember Celica excepts this one were white and had one long handles on them.
He was also wearing a hat of the same colors as the suit and boots that did not look normal, he took of the hat to reveal he had backward blue-purple hair with two kind like spikes on each side of it.
Drake looked at the man and remembered he was one the men Colonel shouted about chasing him and not try to calm him down.
"Drake meet bastard that cheats, bastard that cheats, Drake." Said Axl as he ate his food.
"Just because I beat you every time we play poker does not mean a shit, nice to officially meet you Drake." Said Spider ignoring Axl calling bullshit.
Drake just nodded and focused eating, "Not a man of many words I see." Said spider while Axl shacked his head to Spider knowing that he was actually worried for what the doctor said about his soul, Spider tried to cheer him up but it looked like he was not having much luck about it, which was until he thought of something that might help a little.
"Say… mind for a game?" asked spider as he putted his hat back on and took a deck of cards making Axl groan.
'Here we go.' Thought Axl as he also joined in the game making Drake join even if he didn't want to.
LINEBREAK
Time: Present
Location: Ozpin`s office
"Ironwood certainly loves brining his work wherever he travels." Said Glynda looking at the various battle ships that were landing on the academy.
"Well… running and academy and the military makes him a busy man but I agree, those are a big of an eyesore." Replied Ozpin as sound from his table indicating someone was here sounded.
"Come in." replied Ozpin making the door open automatically to reveal James Ironwood.
"Ozpin." Said the man on a greeting motion while Ozpin gave a few steps forward and stood with his arms behind his back, "Hello general."
"Please drop the formalities." Replied James as both walked closer and shook hands, "It`s been to long." Said the general while Glynda came closer.
"Glynda! It has certainly been to long since we last met."
"Oh James." Said Glynda sarcasm clearly noted and waving her arm mocking him and looked at Ozpin, "If you excuse me I will be outside." Replied Glynda walking out of the room.
"Well she certainly hasn't change much." Said James as Ozpin offered a mug coffee that he accepted and put some of his own thing on it while Ozpin walked to his chair.
"I understand it could be hard to travel between kingdoms." Said Ozpin as he sat.
"Well, vale is a great place to be at this time of the year and with you hosting I thought it would be a good time to catch up."
"Well that little fleet outside makes me doubt you are not only here to catch up." Replied Ozpin.
"Oz, If what Qrow said is true-"
"If what Qrow said is true then we will handle it with precaution, we are in a time of peace, if you come here showing that time of power here, you will be given the wrong impression." Replied Ozpin.
"I am just being cautious."
"As am I… that is why we will continue training the best huntsman and huntresses we can." Replied Ozpin.
"Believe me I am." Said Ironwood turning around but stopped as he remembered something.
"I heard about the new heir of D Dragon Weapon development, you would not believe the surprise when I found out it was none other than your apprentice and yet we know nothing of who the current head is." Said James turning around.
"Were are you going with this?" asked Ozpin knowing full well than whenever Drake was involved it was not in the good of his heart of Ironwood to ask for nothing.
"Since finding out that the heir of the main weapon dealer for the MH is here, perhaps you might already know who it is?"
"I am afraid I don't, Drake came back with the title of heir and the papers to prove it after an incident on the docks, and even so I would not press Drake on that, and neither will you considering the bad blood between the two." Replied Ozpin Narrowing his eyes.
"You need to understand that his power could have been used in the benefit of all."
"And what good did it brought James? Many death scientist and the broken mind of a young child that until this day it is still like that." Replied Ozpin not wanting to continue this argument.
"I will not get closer to Drake, but consider the good things we would be able to achieve if we convince him to help." Replied Ironwood while having in mind that kind of power it is a danger.
"I hope so, enjoy your stay." Said Ozpin.
Ironwood just nodded and turned around heading to the exit.
'I am sorry Ozpin, but that kind of power cannot be left alone, that is why I have taken precautions this time, I only need the prefect chance to use it.' Thought Ironwood as he leaved the room.
LINEBREAK
Meanwhile on the library Drake had his legs on a table while he was leaning on the chair trying with his eyes closed just trying to enjoy of a little of piece with no luck since there were 4 girls on the on the next table playing a board game.
Drake opened his eyes to see that Ren was reading a book while Nora was using one of the sides as a pillow.
Next to her was Axl typing on an holographic ley board while he had had a set of familiar black chains wrapping his legs since he was still getting at day with all the school material and since X had requested Lambert to help a group of hunters with an tracking mission and his abilities could really help, so Drake was here instead making sure Axl was doing his job.
And finally next to him was Jaune who was now reading a book which Pyrrha gave him while said girl was now reading a comic she took from her partner, all of this while there were figurines of the board game flying at them.
"And…. Done, finally." Said Axl as the screen and keyboard disappeared and looked at his brother who took off his legs out of the table and made the chains disappear.
"Now I can finally relax before we are called any of you want to do something?" asked Axl to his friend and brother, "No" replied both at same time making him slam his face on the table, "You are no fun."
"I hate this game of emotions we play!" shouted Weiss making both brothers look at the table where team RWBY were to see Weiss crying and a second later Ruby sitting on Weiss while hugging her.
"Be strong Weiss we will get through this!" said Ruby while tears were falling from her check, "Shut up, don't touché me." replied Weiss while returning the hug.
"Hilarious." Said Axl as he leaned back only to see Drake checking his scroll, a couple of days ago they received a call from X telling them of possible maverick movement.
To confirm this he send a trusted hunter to confirm this saying that the moment that was confirmed both brothers were to go and aid the hunter on the job to analyze the information they could get and eliminate every maverick on site.
"He will call when he has to call, I am sure that whoever was sent was capable enough to confirm the maverick activity." Replied Axl while Drake nodded and put his scroll back while Pyrrha had stood up from her chair very fast to stop Jaune from saying something he should not.
"Lets just hope it is soon, the mavericks have stayed quite after the docks and I do not like that." Replied Drake as he turned around to see Blake giving a disapproving look at Weiss.
"Sup, losers." Said Sun Wukong who had arrived at the scene with someone that none of the brothers knew.
"Hey Sun." replied Ruby.
"Ruby, Yang, Blake… Ice queen,"
"Why does everyone keep calling me that?!" asked Weiss not liking that.
"Because you are one, plain and simple." Replied Axl as he stood up and stretched his legs, "Quiet you!" argued Weiss looking at Axl while Sun got closer.
"Drake nice to see you man, what the hell happened to your face and why the change of color?" asked Sun referring to his hair while Drake stood up in front of Sun.
"Wow, 2 Drakes." Said Sun while Yang chuckled, "Sun meet Axl, Drake long lost evil twin brother." Replied Yang while Axl looked at her insulted.
"I am the evil twin, I am far more bright than him." Replied Axl pointing at Drake who was twitching.
"If by bright you mean annoying then call me dark all you want, seriously I do not know how bullets bares with you." Replied Drake while he looked at Sun and raised his right hand ignoring Axl rambles about him being a saint.
"It is good to see you again Sun," said Drake while Sun shook his hand with a smile, "What the hell happened to you man? You disappeared all of the sudden."
"Nothing to important." Replied Drake while Blake tensed at that not that anyone else noticed.
"So you are Drake, thanks for taking care of my dumb friend, Neptune Vasilias by the way." Replied Neptune as they shook hands while it was now Sun rambling something.
"So Neptune, where are you from?" asked Weiss as he was now getting close to Weiss.
"Haven… and I don't believe I`ve caught your name, snow angel"
"um… I am Weiss." Replied Weiss while Jaune could not believe what was happening in front of him.
"Pleasure to meet you." Said Neptune while Sun had moved next to Blake.
"I never saw you as the board-game-playing type." Said Sun.
"Right… I think I am done playing, actually," replied Blake as she stood up and walked pass Sun, "See guys later."
Sun raised his arms questioning what was with her, "Woman right?" replied Nora while Axl nodded mentally.
"So now that the grumpy cat is gone someone has to take her place… what about any of you? Drake, Axl?" asked Yang while Drake just shacked his head, "Sorry not really in the mood."
"To childish for me." replied Axl as he headed back to his seat followed by Drake only to be stopped by a sound.
"Bwok… Bwok Bwok."
Both brothers eyes hardened and looked at Yang who was still doing chicken sounds.
"I will take Vale." Replied Drake as he walked pass Neptune and Sun while Axl used his wind to raise Weiss from her chair, "Hey!" and put her on Neptune`s arms not that he really minded while Jaune face palmed himself.
"So, siblings vs siblings?" asked Ruby seeing how things were turning while both brothers looked each other at the eye.
"No thanks, I do not need his help on this, besides he owes me for the last time." Replied Drake in his usual poker face.
"Still mad about that shooting game aren't you?"
"You were on the damn corner the whole time." Said Drake in cold voice as he looked the cards Blake previously had, while Axl had asked Yang if he could replace his hand since she already knew what cards were playing.
"Well Drake it was Blake`s turn so you are up, just so you know I wont go easy on you." Replied Yang with an evil smirk while Drake thought in a good strategy.
"I play natural disaster earthquake making all the enemies standing on ground paralyze while elimination half of them." Said Drake since his forces were most of all areal with only a few Grimm and food soldiers on land.
"Hold it bro, since I am playing as vacuo, all of my troops are natural resistant and boost meaning that only affects 25% of my forces being paralyze and none of them eliminated." Replied Axl with a smirk while Drake ended his turn meaning it was time for the other blonde to attack.
Yang looked at her cards and tried to fight a smile while eyeing everyone on the table especially Drake since that poker face was the bigger threat to her.
"I played Black Wings of return, since on my last turn I used a nevermore based cast I can now call a legion of them to attack my two neighbors kingdoms." Said Yang with an evil smirk
"You activated my trap card, sandstorm if I roll a 6 of higher then all kind of attacks against me will be negated, have I get a lower one then all of my forces in the desert area are lost forever." Replied Axl as he threw a dice to fall in 7.
"It does not matter since I still attack Drake-"
"I activate my trap card blessed wind of Oum sending the incoming attack one of my neighbor kingdoms, and since you launched the attack that means…" replied rake holding his card on the air as he then looked at Ruby with a ghost smile making her pale.
"Oh no my remaining forces!" shouted Ruby while she cried in agony and then pointed at Drake with tears on the eyes, "Don't look at me it was your sister who backstabbed you." Said Drake in defense.
"Hey! No fair you deflected my attack." Argued Yang but it was to late since Ruby was looking at her with those silver eyes with tears on them while moving her finger accusingly.
"You will pay for this sis, I play desperate alliance, since most of my forces are down below the 30% I can ask help to any of the kingdoms available that has lost 50% of their forces, and since you tricked Weiss on the last turn vacuo is pretty much available meaning I can take half of his remaining forces and take them as mine alone with one card from his hand." Replied Ruby no longer in tears but now equaling Yang`s evil smirk, making Axl groan as he gave Ruby one of the cards on his hand while he eyed Drake for a second.
Drake seeing this looked at Ruby who was now taking half of Axl`s forces and waited for Axl to made his move who was now looking in defeat at the cards he had in hand.
"I play massive dust accumulation, making a massive amount of dust energy gather in the center of the whole remnant." Said Axl as he planted his face on the table while Yang just laughed.
"That is all you are going to do!" Yang while laughing and then looked at Drake and stopped at what she was seeing, he was smirking.
"I am afraid this duel has gone to far, I play my emperor of terror card," both sisters froze at that, "If I accuse any of you of having the card mining of white gold and you indeed have it then a legion of Black Sky Emperors (See book one chapter 3 back to zero) will destroy over the 50% percent of your forces with no chance of negate of block the attack." Said Drake while Yang looked astonished but then smirked.
"That is a risky play you know, there are 3 of us, and there is the chance than none of has the card making you be in a tight position since if you fail the legion will attack you." Replied Yang noting that Axl began chuckling to them laugh like the bad guy on a movie, she did not like this, especially when she saw her little sister pale face.
"Don't tell me…"
"I accuse Ruby rose of having the card." Replied Drake as all of Ruby`s card fall on the table revealing that one of the cards was indeed mining of white gold meaning that Ruby`s forces were completely gone, "My brave warriors… why have you forsaken me why!" shouted Ruby with hands dramatically in the air and then fall on her side of the table with tears on her eyes.
"How the hell?" asked Yang and then her eyes widened in recognition, "You bastards!" shouted Yang while looking at both brothers.
"You had been working along the whole time." Accused Yang while Axl just put his arm covering his face, "That is indeed correct, no matter what problems we have whenever trouble comes,"
"The D Dragon family fight as one." Finished Drake who was looked at Yang with a victory smirk on his face as he raised a card to reveal it was explosive concentration making her eyes widen a more.
"What the hell does that card do to make her look so surprised?" asked Weiss still on Neptune's arms much to Jaune dislike, "Thanks to Axl`s Massive dust accumulation Drake can now blow the whole remnant thanks to that card."
"Are you mad!?" asked Yang slamming her fist on the table, "You will kill us all including your brother!" shouted Yang as Axl planted a card on the table, "Dual aura force, if there is an AOE attack then my kingdom can ask for the support of another to create a shield of aura to protect ourselves."
"Making you the only available target, you brought this to yourself the moment you mocked us Yang Xiao Long." Replied Drake while both brothers fist bumped while an angry Yang almost destroyed the table.
"Rematch. NOW" said Yang in a deathly voice only to be interrupted by the sound of 2 scroll making the brothers eyes widen.
"Sorry maybe another time, we have to go." Replied Drake as he brushed Ruby`s head who was still crying of her defeat and the rushed over followed by Axl who said his goodbyes and then left while Ren looked and the focused in his book.
'Looks like they are not having it easy tonight.' Thought Ren.
LINEBREAK
"After some time the hunter I send finally answered back from his position, he has confirmed of maverick involved in the area he is, you already know what you have to do, do you have the elixir ready in case of emergency?" asked X via scroll digital call while Drake was driving to their designated point with Axl as his co-pilot showing the bottle with the elixir which was the same thing Drake drank the day after he and Axl fought for the effects of the electrocution.
"Good, I will wait for the report and send another hunter that will intervene just in case of emergency, be careful both of you."
"Roger" said both at the same time ending the call while Drake focused on driving to the outsides of the city.
"Any idea where this place is?" asked Drake not knowing the coordinates.
"Beats me, judging by the fact that we left the city might as well be a place on the middle of a forest." Replied Axl, "If that the case I would have wished Lambert was with us."
"Agreed, speaking of back-up X did not say who was the hunter after all didn't he?"
"Nope, that means we will find out when we arrive I suppose." Said Drake as he speed up.
LINEBREAK
"I can already guess who was send here." Said Drake while both of them stood in front of a massive building with no walls only glass except for 2 of the higher floors, bigger than the one the mafia used the time Axl blew it.
"No shit, this place literally screams his name." replied Axl as both headed in of a casino-hotel called paradise lost.
Even the size of the lobby was ridiculous with only a big hall with nothing on his way until the reception.
"Can I help you?" asked the receptionist.
"Yeah, out uncle is stayed here and tell us to come, his name is ni jû ichi blackjack" said Axl making the receptionist eyes to wide, "Oh of course he called early today saying some family members would come today, please take this he is on the VIP area." Said the receptionist as she handed Drake a card.
"Thank you for your time." Said Drake and then both entered the elevator and inserted the card, the door closed and the elevator began to ascend.
"How did you know he was staying here with that name?" asked Drake with genuine curiosity.
"He always uses that alias in this kind of mission, here take it in case I cant give it to you." Said Axl as he gave Drake the elixir while they reached the VIP are only 3 floors away from the top of the building.
The door opened to reveal a casino-bar area with no white light on the room with people dancing while some were drinking and finally the ones that were gambling.
Both brothers stepped out of the elevator only to be stopped by an alarm sound on the entrance but not loud enough to made everyone looked at them thanks to the sound of the music.
"Excuse me." both brothers turned around to see 2 big man wearing suit with trays on hand getting closer.
"I am afraid you cant enter here with weapon, please put them here and they will be given back when you leave." Said the man politely while Drake took of the sheath with his 4 blades and the put purgatory on it.
"Both of you." Said the man referring to Axl making him took out heaven and earth putting them on the tray, "You better don't touch them because I will now." Said Axl as both began to walk to the gabling area.
"How are we suppose to find him with all this people?" asked Drake as he looked at all the tables around with no luck, "Simple we found a table with lots of people around while someone is being called-"
"Fucking cheater!" came the sound of a loud voice making both brothers turn around.
"Found him." Said Axl as both began to walk to a table that was indeed surrounded by a lot of people.
Drake and Axl made their way to reach the table and see none other than Spider leaning back on his chair while drinking something while many security officers and the dealer were holding 2 man that were trying to jump at him.
"Sir, he won clean and fairly there were no indications of any kind of trap." Said the dealer holing one of the man.
"There is no way in hell he could have won for the 7th time in a row!" shouted one of the men while many other security men came and grabbed the man.
"Why the hell I am not surprised."
Spider turned around to meet the gaze of both brothers, "About fucking time." Said spider as he stood up and greeted both brothers standing up and hugging them as if they were family.
"What the hell are you doing?" whispered Axl to spider, "Just play along."
"Are this your nephews mister Blackjack." Said the dealer getting their attention.
"Yeah, this are the ones I told you about." Said Spider pushing both of them to the table and making them sit.
"Your uncle has been cleaning us for the past few weeks and even decided to help us in the in the hotel while at it." Said the dealer while twitching at the mention of Spider cleaning them.
"I apologize for that he really has a gamble problem." Replied Drake while spider sat between the 2.
"It is only call a problem when you lose, not when you keep winning and winning!" replied Axl while the bartender just nodded.
"Seeing that you are familiar with the feeling why don't we play a hand." Replied Spider while he scanned the room with his eyes something that both noted.
"Are you sure? I mean we are only 17." Said Drake while he noted that many security men were getting close.
"There is no problem really, it is between family so there couldn't be any kind of ill intention." Replied the dealer with a smile as he began to deal the cards while both Drake and Axl took their wallets.
"How much should we bet?" asked Axl, "Lets begin with 100000 lien seeing that both of you get paid really good." Replied Spider putting his money on the table soon followed by both.
The dealer put 3 cards on the table, the number 10 of spades, a queen of spades, and a 7 of diamonds.
Drake carefully looked at his cards to see he only had 2 aces, he put them down and the looked at the rest.
Every time spider had asked him to play a hand with him Drake made him notice two things, there are only 2 types of great poker players, those who have an indestructible poker face giving your enemy the thought that you got a better hand than him, in this type Drake was that kind.
While the other was the one that faked every emotion at the perfection guiding the enemy to a trap, Spider was not just this kind of player but also the former adapting to whatever he sees fit, almost like a kind of a hunter point of view.
Shamefully Axl was neither of both since whenever he wants to hide his face like it happened early today during the board game, it means that he had a good play in hand making t obvious for those who knew him, which was doing right now keeping a close eye on the cards on the table.
"I raise to 150000." Said Spider.
"I stay." Replied Drake as put more lien on the table soon followed by Axl making the dealer put another card on the table reveal an as of spades.
"Bets?" asked the dealer.
"I raise the bet to 200000." Replied Axl putting planting the money on the table making Spider eyes widen as he and Drake put their own.
'you are not fooling me spider.' Though Drake knowing full well that he was faking his surprise.
The dealer put the final card to reveal it was the king of spades, making Axl plant his card on the table to reveal another 2 kings.
"Three of a kind!" shouted Axl reaching for the money only to be stopped by Drake planting his own cards.
"Three of a kind, and last I checked asses beat kings." Replied Drake not showing any emotion as he looked at spider who sighed.
He reached the table to flip his cards, "Nicely played…"
*CLICK*
That sound made spider stop as all of the sudden everyone all 3 of them had guns millimeters away from their heads.
"I am afraid the play time is over, Mister Spider." Replied the bartender with his usual smile while calling him by his real name now.
"Did you seriously think we would not notice you sneaking around and getting information on the other VIP without someone noticing." Replied the dealer as his eyes opened slowly telling he was death serious as the moment.
"Truth to be told, yes I did considering the lousy service and security this place has, but you missed something, I did not asked just the VIP but all the female staff as well… your girlfriend as a really soft spot behind her neck by the way seeing that you never found about that either." Replied Spider with a smirk only to receive and smack on the back of his head making his hat fall from his head.
"I suppose also was with your huh, which one was, Cindy, Kristy, Mindy… damn to many to remember." Replied Spider as he raised his head an eyes Drake who moved his eyes while they noticed that the Floor was being evacuated.
"You think you are so funny aren't you?" asked the dealer, "Not really just telling the truth. Can I ask for something? I only want to turn over my cards."
"hahahaha sorry but your lucks ends here mister Spider." Replied the dealer as he motioned to take the shot.
"It is going to be the hard way I guess." Replied Spider making the bartender raise an eyebrow.
"How the he-" the dealer never finished the sentence as a black blade had been impaled on his head followed soon by another 3 blades cutting the arms of the man holing the guns.
"Axl the cards!" shouted spider as picked all the money on the table and his cards and then kneeled to grab his hat and stayed on the floor followed by Drake, "Way ahead of you!" shouted Axl as he moved his arms quickly making all the cards on the table fly around them making many armed men being cut by them but that was not the intention of it.
"Jackpot." Whispered Spider and not a second later all the cards exploded around them while taking care of many and creating a black cloud of smoke around them.
The remaining men not wanting more surprises began to shot the cloud only for 4 blades came flying from the cloud and began to attack every of the armed men soon taking care of the remaining ones.
The dust cleared to reveal a thin wall of wind in front of them that had blocked every bullet courtesy of Axl, the wall disappeared and Drake began to walk where Purgatory was along Heave and Earth.
"You got better manipulating." Complimented Spider at Drake`s control of 4 blades while Axl just extended his arm waiting for something, "We want our money."
Spider just raised one card to reveal is was the 7 of spades, "So what? Drake and I had better hands so pay."
Spider smirked and moved his fingers to reveal the card behind the seven to reveal the jack of spades, "Cheating bastard!" shouted Axl as he looked at Drake who was now with his sheath and purgatory and handled Axl his guns.
"Focus Axl, what do you have to say?" asked Drake looking at Spider.
"The boss send me here to investigate some weird shipment that arrived at the city some weeks ago to confirm said shipment was here before which it was; but also many other things that passed though here."
"How do you know that? Wait don't answer that chat you had with the dealer tell me much of what you have been doing on your free time." Replied Axl poiting at the half of the body of who was the dealer.
"What can I say? I love my job, anyway we need to reach the following floors an-"
*CLANK*
Spider was interrupted by a loud sound.
"What was that?" asked Axl while everyone looked around only to see various sets of wind dust crystals appear in front of them.
"Axl!"
"On it!" shouted Axl as he raised both hands as a massive current of wind pushed forward in front of them to counter the equally massive force of wind that the crystal generated crashing with Axl's.
"What were you saying!" shouted Drake for the massive air on around them looking at Spider.
"I was not able to reach the higher floors! But according to many of the workers! Many weird things reaches that floor and according to the energy outlets on the basements energy used on those floors it is just ridiculous!" shouted Spider while he motioned at the elevator on the other side of the floor.
Drake just nodded and raised his arm to create a black energy chain that got stabbed next to the elevator door.
"You guys keep going, I will follow you closely after!" shouted Axl while the other hunters nodded as Spider grabbed the chain.
Before Drake could even use the chains to reach the other side of room many red dust crystals appeared in between the wind one.
"Well shit" said Axl as an explosion appeared making all of stop what they were doing and jumped to the massive crystal window behind them followed my a massive explosion with all the bodies of the men Drake killed burning on the sky while falling.
Everyone prepared their weapons to destroy one of the floor glasses while Axl manipulated the wind.
"Lets take advantage of this and reach the next floor this way." Said Axl and soon after the top of the building began to be surrounded by some silver kind of energy similar Drake`s creating a massive wall from the top and the bottom of the building.
Drake raised both hands to try to counter the energy only to find that it was making it his own transforming the black into silver.
"Plan B! Open a way into the lower floors!" shouted Drake making Axl release the energy wind that was holding them making all of them dive down
Axl began to shoot to the windows below to see they were instead absorbing his energy making him look at spider who took several card from the deck on his sleeve and then threw them at one of the floors successfully destroying the window on one of the floors below them, using this Axl manipulated the wing once again to push them there only to see the same kind of silver energy beginning to appear there.
"Axl! Let me go!" shouted Drake, which Axl just obeyed and did as such, soon after Drake created a black platform below him and focused to create the two massive black energy claws behind him while his eyes changed to red, he send the claws pass Axl and spider to maintain the silver energy away and open the path again.
The moment the claws touched the energy and opened the path, Axl speeded of the wind making them enter on the building successfully, Drake was about to expand more the opening but could not as he saw the silver energy beginning to corrupt his own making him dispel the hands making Axl shout his name before the silver energy closes his path making dive again.
Drake took Hell and putted some of his energy on it and the released sending a Crimson-black blade projectile diagonal down to destroy one of the crystal windows on one of the floors below destroying the window by the effect of an explosion before it made contact so it could not drain the energy of the attack and then using to chains to swing him self to land on the floor.
Drake looked back to see the energy closing his only way to the exterior.
Drake began to walk to what it looked was the hotel section with many doors on the side many of them beginning with the number 67 meaning that was the number of the floor he was in, he stopped at the sound of his scroll and took it out of his jacket and answer it.
"Are you ok?" asked Axl on the other line.
"Yes, I managed to enter, by the looks of it I am in the 67th floor, you guys?"
"76, it looks like the spa area, really big by the way." Replied Axl while Drake took a little device from his jacket and put it no his ear putting his scroll back on his jacket and then began to walk to the elevator while he noticed something.
"I changed to Hands-free move I suggest you to do the same, is anyone on your floor because there are signs here that people evacuating fast." Replied Drake as he saw some doors opened and many things like bags on them.
"It looks like the same here, better for us I suppose, we will wait for you here in the elevator-"
The lights went off.
"Good dammit Axl." Spider has joined the conversation.
"Not my fault!" Replied Axl.
Drake just sighed, "I am going to look for the stairs, I could try to use Hells` explosive ability over and over again in case the floors also absorb energy but that would take a lot of my aura. You guys keep going we will meet later."
LINEBREAK
"Be careful, and have the elixir had hand." Said Axl as he and Spider had changed to Hands-free mode.
"Got it, Drake out"
"I wonder what was that silver energy, it looked like Drake`s." said Spider as they exited the mud bath area.
"I am more concerned of the other hunter waiting for confirmation." Replied Axl getting his attention.
"Other hunter who?" asked Spider clearly not knowing about this.
"Yeah, in case something happened AKA this kind of situation… why did you stopped?" asked Axl stopped.
"Son of a Bitch." Replied Spider while he continued walking to the stairs.
"What was that about?" asked Axl as he followed him only to be both stopped at the sound of the elevator.
"Some one is toying with us." Replied Axl as he raised his weapons.
"Clearly." Said Spider clearly annoyed about something as he pointed his bracelets also pointing at the door.
The elevator opened to reveal a massive barrage of fire coming from the door.
"It looks like the explosion followed us to floor 76!" shouted Axl jumping to the room to his right while spider jumped to the left since using wind against moving fire was not a good call.
From the fire of the elevator exited a tall and muscular man wearing a black leather combat suit with a black helmet on it, but the most noticeable thing was the red glowing coming from the suit.
Axl who had landed on one of the mud pools slowly raised his head slowly looked at the man giving him a horrible sense of déjà vu.
Axl watched as the man stepped on the room while being surrounded by flames surrounding all the 4 walls on the room.
Axl really wished Drake was here since the effect of Heaven would work nicely and he could not create enough cold wind unless he was outside, and the worst part of all it was the fact that he dropped his guns on the mud and he could not find them he could use the wind to raise the mud with the wind but that would tell where he was.
The man had walked to the section he and spider had separated making the man look to the mug pool area and then to the other to see the foot massage area while carefully being watched by Axl who decided to return under the mug and look for his guns while the last thing he saw was the man slowly walking to his area giving him a risky kind of idea.
The man saw various pools of mug and raised both of his hands making the fire now reach the ceiling and then form stalagmites on them ready to send them down to all of the pools.
The man prepared to send motion his hands down only to be interrupted by a sudden explosion of energy from behind making the man stumble a little to the pools while making the fire on the ceilings and stalagmites, the man turned around to see spider with both arms raised with his bracelets aimed at him while smoke was coming from the lower parts of them.
The man raised one arm and fire began to surround him ready to shot at spider, "Axl whatever you are going to do it now!" shouted spider through the hands-free of the scroll, not a second later Axl surrounded using the earth properties of the mug clung the man from behind and to the pool with him.
The moment both submerged Axl`s hand came from the pull which spider took it and began to pull bringing him out of the pool only for the hand full of mug of the man to grab his leg.
"This was your brilliant plan!" shouted spider.
"Just you fucking wait!" replied Axl while looking at the man who was still under the mug to suddenly stop making Axl sent a kick under the mug and Spider pulling harder to see only the hand coming from the pool.
"What the hell!" shouted Spider; he looked at the pool to see it was now solidifying until it was completely solid.
"Did you solidified?" asked spider while Axl just stood up and walked on the pool, he then kneeled and put his hand on the mug, he then raised his arm and put his hand like if it was a blade and pushed it forward planting the hand on the mug and then retracted it with something on his hand.
"Did you read the reports of the mission involving a doctor named Phoebus?" (Book 1 of cold and old wounds for more info.)
Spider though for a second as he saw that in Axl`s hand was red glowing dust crystal that was radiating some kind of every with was not normal in dust crystal making him realize what was that.
"An Apollo?" asked Spider while spider stood up and began to look for his weapons after he crushed the crystal with his hands.
"I am going to need a bath after this." Said Axl as he retrieved his guns, "The previous subject of the Apollo was a young Faunus whose temperature was ridiculous, the moment I saw something glowing from his chest it was not hard to figure out what it was, and since mug solidifies at highs temperature I thought of this." Replied Axl as he took his guns and looked at Spider looking confused.
"Science." That worked with him all right.
"I wonder how Drake is doing?" asked Axl as he saw the elevator was in to condition to work and headed to the stair, "He should be reaching this floor by now,"
"Drake, come in in what floor are you? We are still on the 76… we have a little inconvenient." Said Axl as he put the finger on his ear where the little device was.
"… the 76 huh, say did the two of you had a happy time in the spa."
Both hunters froze at that, it was not the voice of Drake but instead of a woman that both knew well.
"Bitch!" shouted spider as he put 2 fingers on his ear.
LINEBREAK (SOME MINUTES AGO)
Drake turned around the corner to see a familiar hallway in front of him, with one of his blades at hand he slashed the wall to leave a mark.
He continues walking eyeing the numbers of the door and reached the end of the hallway one again to face a choice, right or left.
He turned left to face yet another familiar scenario, he looked at the wall to see it had been slashed in a different way than before, meaning he had already been here before.
The moment he ended the call with his brother and Spider, Drake proceeded to find the stairs only meet the same hallway over and over again but it seemed all right since the numbers of the rooms were not the same.
That was until he began to have the feeling that something was wrong, had he have lambert with him he would have known if something was happening, he tried to call his teammates but it looked like the signal was death giving him more bad feelings.
Deciding to try a theory he decided to begin to slash the wall on every corner of the halls, and after a good while he had finally came across one of the many marks he did, Drake eyed the numbers on the rooms to see that they no longer started by 67 but by none.
He kicked open one of the rooms to see it leaded to what he recognized to the emerald forest at night.
He blinked once and the twice to confirm what he was seeing, he walked to his next door to reveal it was a place he almost did not recognize, the room where he and summer played whenever she visited.
He looked at the next room in discomfort and opened it reveal what it looked was a fabric with many corpses on it.
'Considering that the last 2 places had been from my past and one more oldest than the previous then this place must be… where they found Me.' thought Drake as curiosity got the best of him entering the room not noticing that the door behind closed and disappeared.
He continued walking as his surrounding became darker.
He stopped as he noticed that in front of stood a familiar figure wearing a long white riding hood, he did not noticed but his appearance changed to the one when he was only 7 years old.
He walked closer and called her name but nothing could be heard not even his voice which he did not noticed as he raised his hands like the way a child asking for a mothers embrace.
The figure turned around and walked closer only for the hood to change of scenario to one with only black flames around him and the hood catching fire revealing another person under the hood one that although he could not see her face the smile she was giving him made him feel fear.
His eyes opened wide and began to feel the pain of the wound of purgatory taking effect making him beginning to cough and spitting blood making fall on his knees not noticing the other two figures in front of him, he reached his jacket quickly to pick to bottle only to drop it on the floor and then be kicked by a figure that he could not see clearly.
He fall on his back on the floor and then felt the extra weight on his body not really being able to do anything since the pain was increasing, that was until the pain suddenly stopped and noticed something very soft against his lips.
He opened his eyes and his vision began to fix to see a familiar green haired woman with a pony tail, dark blue sea colored eyes wearing a pink leather jacket and jeans of the same color with a little of black that gave a ninja vibe whenever everyone saw her, but the most noticeable thing was the green for hears coming from her hair.
"So how was it tell me the truth?" asked the woman who was giving him a flirty smirk and eyes while Drake noticed that she was straddling him,
"I am afraid that I have to remind you that lost a the sense of taste meaning that I could not feel nor taste neither the elixir and if I have to guess your kiss." Said Drake making the woman frown as she remembered his condition while the he did not mentioned that he felt her soft lips.
"It must be a bitch not to feel a good kiss, huh?" asked the woman not standing up.
"If you say so." Said Drake ignoring the comment about him not being fun, which was not a total lie on his opinion.
"What happened?" asked Drake while the woman stood up and gave her a hand which he accepted and stood up to see the bottle where the elixir was and ahead of them the decapitated body of someone he did not recognize.
"He is not much of a fighter but his semblance allows him to cast an illusion of some type to whoever enters his area of effect, when I reached the floor in which I heard an explosion I happened to see him using his semblance while you were beginning to feel the effect of your wound so I take care of him and helped you with the rest." Drake figured she had taken the Elixir and gave it to him mouth to mouth looked at her questionably.
"What? Unless Spider I do my job completely, that includes every possible person who is a threat." Said Marino while Drake was about to ask why did she knew this since X said that the hunter he sent was in standby, but he never got to ask since he was being called.
Seeing that Marino was here he took out his scroll so she could also heard the conversation.
"Drake, come in in what floor are you? We are still on the 76… we have a little inconvenient."
Before Drake could reply Marino had put a finger on her mouth while giving him one of her mischievous smirks.
"… the 76 huh, say did the two of you had a happy time in the spa." Said Marino in mocking voice making Drake ask himself what had she being doing here to know what was on that floor.
"Bitch!" came the voice of spider on the scroll.
"Oh oh oh, looks like someone found out, say how does it feel been clean out by a room attendant."
Now he had an idea what she had been doing, but now it was not the time for assumptions.
"Guys, focus what happened?"
"We had a kind of a fire problem." Replied Axl.
"Oh you met the guy on leather suit didn't you?"
"Fuck that guy!" shouted both clearly annoyed about whatever happened.
"Keep going to the stairs and wait for us until when you reach floor 96 which is the where the stairs end." Said Marino.
"How the hell do you know that?" asked Spider.
"Because unlike you, I do my job instead of being flirting with every thing that has nice hips and moves in perfect sync with their ass." Replied Marino as she ended the call having the last word in the argument.
Drake pulled his scroll on the jacket while looking at her with an eyebrow raised while Marino just motioned her head to follow him while she told him what had happened with spider.
Marino is an specialist on infiltration and disguise so she disguised herself as many things while she was here getting information, from things as simples as a receptionist, Massager and maid, etc. but while doing that last one a certain spider decided to seduce her not knowing it was her, seeing it would be fun to make his pay for not taking his mission seriously she played alone saying she was into bondage.
Spider saying he didn't have a problem being chained naked to the bed while blindfolded all of this while she took all the money he was carrying.
Drake actually threw a smirk at that as he remembered the time he met her.
It was during one of the hands of pokers Spider had made him play during the second day on HQ, she had come planting his head on the table with her leg while scolding him about scamming him while all he was trying to do was cheer him up.
For what she knew of her, she was a member that joined at a young age while stealing a lot of things and is self proclaimed the best thieve on the whole remnant who has the peculiarity of greeting everyone she liked with a tongue kiss thanks to her Foxes instincts not that many people didn't really bother.
LINEBREAK
"Can you please focus?" asked Marino looking at Spider who was giving her the bad eye.
They were now on floor 98, Marino had the idea to blow up the ceiling with Spider`s semblance, then for Drake to create 4 energy walls around them and a 5th as a ceiling and finally for Axl to use the wind to carry them to the next floor.
Thanks to the black walls they were able protect themselves from the storm of fire that was on floor 97 and finally reached the elevator that leaded to the upper floors thanks to a Key card she had obtained. All of this while Spider in her opinion was being a sore loser.
"She is right focus." Replied Drake while Axl still wondered what was between the 2 while Marino looked at Drake.
"You ok?"
"Yeah, no need to worry thanks to the elixir I actually feel like I could had maintain those constructs for a very good amount of time." Replied Drake as the doors of the elevators opened and they stood on a white room with another door in front of them.
"Well behind door number one we have…" Said Axl as the door opened to reveal a massive room way bigger and taller than the previous one.
"I suppose the hotel has 99 floors instead of 100" thought Spider out loud.
"What the hell are these?" asked Marino as he saw the various purple spheres on the room.
"They look like energy cores, but what do they activate?" asked Drake while Axl pointed the finger at something.
"That could be a good answer." Replied Axl getting their attention at the massive bird like standing there.
Marino spotted a computer and began to get the information about what they had been doing here.
"Project FALZAR… it looks like this has been used for the assembly… one of many on the whole remnant, that one over there is the first one that began assembly after the last were send to the white fang some weeks ago." Replied Marino while she copied all the information while Drake looked around.
"Where is Spider?" asked Drake making everyone look around and then all looked to the elevator on the other side of the room.
"You have got to be kidding me!" shouted Marino and not a second later the alarms went off making the walls on the side open to reveal a five androids.
"Huh, for a moment I thought they would be more." Replied Axl as the cores around them began to fly to the androids that absorbed the core.
The armors of the androids began to crack open and instead of circuits inside of them there was purple energy flowing on their bodies.
"Marino take the data and aid Spider in whatever he is doing." Replied Drake while the 4 blades unsheathed them selves while Axl took out his weapons while Marino nodded and ran to the elevator making the androids jump high and charge at her.
Seeing this Drake send heaven and hell to stab the two of them on the chest followed by a vertical drop kick on the handles of the blades sending them to the ceiling while at the same time with light and darkness on hand did a 360 spin slashing both of the androids cutting them for the half.
Drake looked to the direction the elevator was to see the doors closing with the android getting closer only to receive a massive air bullet sending him up only to receive a spin kick courtesy of Axl who then charged at the robot using the wind and putting his gun blades in a scissors position decapitating the robot as he passed him.
Axl landed and looked up see Drake landing next to him while he raised his arm to the ceiling making Heaven and Hell comeback leaving the 2 androids fall to the floor.
"That wa-" Axl was stopped by the 4 blades of Drake pointing at his throat, "Do not even there to finish that sentence." Replied Drake with his usual stoic look although one could notice the annoyance on the voice.
Unfortunately for them they heard a sound that made them look to see that the androids were standing up and those who were cut by the half were connecting with their other half while the head of the one Axl decapitated returned to his body.
The androids surrounded them and began to circle them as they created purple energy blades from their hands making the brothers take a back-to-back position while Drake Heaven and Hell circled around them.
The androids charged at them from all direction some of them from air.
"Axl!" shouted Drake while Axl just nodded, both made an spin motion with blades raised while the 2 blades surrounding them did a 180 spin the moment they did generating an small energy twister of their respective colors with the intention of sending back away.
But it did not work since one of them entered the twister with blade-raised ready to impale him on the head had it not being for a massive wave of wind pushing him to the side, Drake looked with widen eyes at Axl that had saved him, Drake immediately created a chains that wrapped Axl and pulled him away avoiding the two blades that were coming from behind him.
Axl turned around to see what it was making him give an smirk and raised his guns seeing that he had a really good chance of putting holes on them, he shot various energy bullets at the 2 that tried to impale him with a not much expected result.
"They are like Highmax." Said Drake as he saw the shoots being absorbed.
Drake could not thing of anything as he felt a sudden pain on his left side only to see one of the cyborgs delivering a spin kick making dispel the chains holding his brother while being send flying only to be intercepted by another one that had sent a flying kick planting on the wall dropping his blades.
One of the androids got closer with energy blades in both hands ready to deliver the final strike only to receive a sudden impact on it`s chest, the cyborg looked down to see Drake standing in front of him with his left arm, Drake raised his head to reveal the crimson eyes.
Drake made a second impact with his fist sending the robot crashing against the incomplete FALZAR destroying it on the processes, he quickly looked around to see Axl dealing with 3 of them using only the blades to cut the limbs that then would reconnect.
It looked weird to him seeing the fight since it looked like there was something he was not seeing something, he interrupted his thought and sidestep to avoid the incoming attack of the last android in which instead of sending flying or slice him he had a better idea.
He grabbed the it`s arm with his left arm so it would not absorb his energy thanks to the fact that it was a robotic one.
"Axl duck!" shouted Drake as he threw the android at the speed of a bullet.
Axl who had just kicked one the androids attacking him looked at the direction the warning came only to see one of them flying at him giving him only a few seconds to move the higher part of his body back avoiding the projectile impacting with another that was charging at him.
"Hey what the hell Drake!" shouted Axl as he returned to normal only to see Light and Darkness spinning pass him cutting the other 2 androids that were attacking him.
"I could have take care of them." Said Axl while Drake ignored the comment.
"Look behind you!" shouted Drake making Axl turn around to something weird, the androids that had collided each other were having a weird reaction as if they were stealing each other energies but also as if they were merging but looked like they were trying not to.
This made Axl realize that since they started the androids had never touched each other, Axl closed his eyes while he thought on something.
"Thing you can create something like a black hole or something to attract them all?" asked Drake as he walked to him while the blades began to circle around them while he had his hands on the pockets of his jackets while he saw that the cores of the androids could visible for while before they managed to separate themselves.
"Way ahead of you D," replied Axl as he opened his eyes to reveal they were crimson, "But I am going to need a minute at top." Replied Axl as he hides his guns under his sleeves and raised one of his arms while the other stayed on his jacket pocket while all the androids including the one that destroyed the incomplete FALZAR charged out of the debris of it.
Drake charged at the five at high speed with the blades still spinning now on higher speed making it look like there was a giant circle of a combination of the 4 colors around him, he phased to the androids cutting them by the half, he then stopped the deathly circle and turned around to grab one of the sliced androids by the legs with leg hand.
"Got it." Answered Drake as he hit the surrounding androids with the legs while two of the androids that had armed back together charged making Drake threw the legs at one of them while giving a massive punch to the other planting him on the wall.
He looked back at Axl to see one of the android going after them only to be sliced by two spinning blades, Heaven Decapitating him and Hell cutting his waist.
He then did the same with Light and Darkness sending to slice the remaining ones but stopped at the sudden change of the wind inside the room.
"Drake! Hold up to something now!" shouted Axl making Drake create a chain around his waist and then stabbed the other side to the nearest wall.
Drake looked around to see the wind beginning to take shape in green colored waves that were gathering up beginning to form a green spheres that began to absorb everything on the room except for Axl.
Once the sphere had absorbed all the androids Axl made the absorption stop leaving only the sphere on the air with the 5 androids fighting to get away from each other but Axl had began to compress the sphere forcing them to be closer making them reveal the cores faster.
Drake made his chains disappear and quickly created the giant claws above him and made and applause motion with his real hands making the claws do something similar crushing the sphere.
'Since the cores were dissipate the moment the androids absorbed them that meant that the moment they were absorber they lost their Physical form, but by making the android touch each other making them absorb each others energies make the cores return to their previous form' that was Drake thought as he made the claws disappear only to reveal pieces of metal fall on the floor.
"You ok?" asked Drake as his eyes changed back to normal while looking at Axl who only blinked to reveal his also changed as he nodded.
"Lets go then." Said Drake as both headed to the elevator only to see it opening revealing both Marino and Spider running at them.
"Make an exit quick!" shouted Marino and spider signaling nothing good was coming while the female was pointing at an specific wall.
"What happened?!" asked Axl while Spider threw over 20 cards at the wall completely destroying it to reveal the outside.
"And what happened to the silver energy!?"
no one asked Axl as Marino took him by the collar to the outside.
"Whatever you do! Do not stop the falling none of you!" shouted Marino pushed Axl out of the window followed by Spider who made sure his hat did not fall.
"Drake hurry!" shouted Marino while the 4 blades sheathed back themselves and then ran to Marino.
"Ladies first." Replied Drake pushing Marino who threw a cursed his name while he jumped.
He did not need to look back to the sudden explosion that happened on the top of the building and the following the floors one by one closely reaching Drake who was the last to jump but not reaching him in time as he fall on a pool.
Drake stayed underwater along with everyone else while Axl created spheres of air around their heads while Marino was giving Spider mouthing something that Drake decipher as 'I told you so'.
LINEBREAK
"Let me get this straight, An unknown enemy that can make my darkness as his own, an Apollo subject among many other things." Replied Drake while he drove annoyance clearly on his voice.
"What the hell happened with you two on the last floor?" asked Axl in the co-pilot seat while the other 2 hunters were behind.
"That is not important right now." Replied X who was talking via scroll, "I want each individual report next week, also I watched the information you got about the White Fang, Axl can you call your friends over there to see if he knows anything, proceed as you see fit." Ordered X ready to end the call.
"Wait sir, why did you send Marino instead of someone else?" asked Spider while Marino just smirked while X chuckled in the other line.
"Because I know you as well as you know yourselves, I knew sending you to a casino of all places would work for you but also distract you in many many ways making you risk your cover in some way, that is why I send Marino since you would be getting all the attention why not send someone who would go undercover, then I thought who better than Marino, good job hunters." Replied X ending the call causing Marino and Axl to burst out laughing while the man just looked down so his hat covered his face.
"So what now?" asked Spider wanting change the subject.
LINEBREAK
On an expensive hotel, on a dark room there was someone sitting waiting for someone to arrive.
The man stood up as he heard someone coming, the door opened to reveal Spider and Marino entering the room and closing the door while the woman was asking for an explication.
"So how did you know she would be there?" asked Marino.
"Because that was his second objective." Replied the figure making both of them stood and put their hands on their chest, the salute of the MH.
"Sir!" said both hunter at X.
"At ease hunters, please sit, Spider your report." Ordered X in a serious manner.
FLASHBACK
Spider waited for the elevator to open as he stood on the 99th floor armed with cards on each hand.
He examined the room as the door behind him closed.
There was nothing on the room except for the windows showing the silver energy outside and a table on the other side of the floor with a big chair looking at the window not letting him see if there was someone sitting on it, not that he really cared.
Spider threw a set of cards that blew up the furniture leaving only smoke, spider got closer to the smoke not dropping his guard.
"You look very eager."
Spider turned around to meet the face of a woman inched to his face making him launch more cards at her, which she catch easily, In front of him stood a woman with orange eye wearing a white with purple suit and a little of green, she had pale skin, purple hair with a hairstyle that covered her right eye.
"Is that all you-"
Spider clapped his fingers making the cards explode making him smirk for only 1 second.
"-got?" replied the woman steeping the out of the smoke and completing her sentence as a sudden twister appeared planting him against the window.
"And I who was expecting to meet my old friend and meet the final member of the family." Replied the woman while she waved her hand only to be interrupted by the sound of the elevator opening.
"Spider why the hell d- YOU!" shouted Marino as she threw several energy daggers at the woman who was waving at her like saying hello while she avoided the daggers.
"Another unwanted guess," said the woman as she send another twister at Marino who ran and jumped above it throwing more daggers at her, "Seriously again" said the woman avoiding them again to then notice that Marino was gone.
She turned around to see Marino with another dagger at hand aiming for her head which she avoided only to be suddenly stabbed on the back, "Not smiling now huh bitch." Said Marino who was now behind her twisting the blade making her scream for a second to only start laughing making her eyes widen.
"Back off!" shouted spider, which she did to see the body of the woman receiving various explosions, the woman looked at spider only to see him throwing a punch which she only smiled at receiving impact followed by an energy impact shot by the little hole on the up part of the bracelet blowing up her head spilling blood on the floor.
Spider then threw several cards at the body creating various explosions until Marino stopped him by putting an arm on his shoulder.
They both looked to where only was smoke and froze when they heard giggles, from the smoke stood up the deformed body of the woman as her and her suit began to regenerate completely, both hunters charged at her only to be pushed by an invisible force against the window while the woman walked to them, her evil smirk never leaving her face after it was completely regenerated.
She raised both arms and began to close her punch slowly making the same invisible force choke them, the woman smirked even more until she suddenly dropped her smirk and hand releasing the two hunters making them fall on their knees while breathing repeatedly.
"And I who wanted to see him again, another time it would be I guess." Replied the woman while both hunters saw how she disappeared all of the sudden and soon after did the silver wall on the outside of the hotel.
"You cant tell him about this, I will explain later." Said spider with effort as he stood up.
"No shit I cant tell him about this, he would go ballistic." replied Marino as screen appeared where the table used to be with a counter that start on one minute making both run to the elevator.
"The pool is on the east side of the building, we can destroy the wall and jump to it." Replied spider as the door opened.
"Nice plan dumbass, but the pool is on the west side." Replied Marino as they stepped in and the door began to close while spider looked at her narrowing his eyes.
"Who actually did her mission?" asked Marino reminding her she had been undercover the same time as him.
END OF FLASHBACK
"Is it possible someone turned her in a celestial?" asked Spider.
"Probably, but someone turned on celestial should not be that powerful" replied X as he stood up.
"I thank you both not to reveal anything to Axl and I ask you to keep it that way." Said X as he walked to the door.
"Sir, if I may ask, how did you know she would be there?" asked Marino.
"I have someone deep inside the mavericks, someone I trust with my life but the information of her being alive was really hard to believe, that is why I send spider there as a secondary objective." Replied X not stopping on his way to the door.
"And if you are going to tell bullet about this make sure she keeps the secret." Replied X as he exited the room.
"To tell her about this, if Axl gets ballistic how do you think she is going to get." Replied Marino standing up.
"She has the right, they were still on the same squad after all." Replied Spider while thinking who could be more trusted than Colonel to make the X say that
LINEBREAK
"I feel like if just went through some of Spruce Willis movies." Replied Axl taking a drink from a bottle of wine that he got in their way to beacon after dropping Spider and Marino.
"Don't know the guy, I am going to skip tomorrows classes and take extra pills to avoid any surprise tomorrow, after that we will think on how are we going to proceed" Replied Drake while Axl nodded knowing full well that the more you use the elixir consecutively the more infective it becomes.
"At least you will sleep more than 3 hours."
"Not that I could feel the difference" replied Drake while Axl offered a drink while Drake shook his head.
"Oh come on!, just because you cant feel the alcohol burning you does not mean that you cant feel the other effect." Replied Axl, "Now that I think about it that is a plus!" shouted Axl as he insisted making Drake took the bottle and take a drink while noticing three persons wearing the uniform of haven.
Drake eyed the 3 individuals that stopped in front of them making both brothers stop while Drake handed the bottle to Axl.
"Can I help you?" asked Drake noticing the one of the centers examining him with her amber eyes while she gave an step forward.
"As a matter of fact you can, we came here for the tournament just today, and I am have to admit that we are little lost" replied the woman in what Drake noticed was a very soft voice but also that made her resemble Marino on in some cases Yang whenever it was about something different if fighting or joking.
That made him look at her amber eyes to notice the very sense of mischief both had, but there was something else he did not like about her.
He passed her and her companions followed by Axl not leaving his side, "Your dorm should be by the east of here, it is really hard to miss, have a good night." Replied Drake not looking back.
"Wow you really are a ray of sunshine aren't you." Replied the only male of the group not really getting his attention while both brothers kept walking.
"I don't like her and neither does the green haired one, she had the same look Marino has whenever she wants something. I am going to raise the security on our room." Replied Axl with narrowed eyes while he took another drink.
While Drake just nodded praying to Oum that tomorrow was not like today, unfortunately for him, his prayers would not be heard.
AN: I swear I did not expect it to turn out this long.
Fun fact, I realized near the end of the chapter I was inspiring it based on the die hard movie specially that last scene of the jumping.
I know there was little RWBY here but I had to do this for various reasons like introducing some of the character I brought and a little about Axl`s past in the MH.
If you have problems visualizing Spider and Marino, fell free to search them, both are from the megaman X command Mission game.
Spider semblance is similar to gambit`s except of kinetic energy it is explosive, he can also detonate the whatever he touches when he wants to, he can use the semblance on humans, his bracelets has two card slots that threw highly concentered energy cards that does not only have explosive factor but also the energy one (That he used against the Apollo subject) and on the up side of them there is a similar hole similar to Yang's, the only difference is that it shoots the energy mentioned before, and lastly the cards, each card depending which one it is has a different concentration of dust and using the right combination he can create devastating effects.
Marino, in case you did not notice, her semblance is multiplication, being able to multiplication object like her daggers and herself although she can only do the last with herself and up to only 3 solid clones.
Can anyone guess who was the person`s whose name should not be mentioned in front of Axl?
Next time I finally start with a chapter that have had in mind for good time.
See ya
