21. Chapter 11: Beacons Makai Hunters

GARO Saviors of Remnant

ESKK: Well here it is the next chapter let's start the opening.

Disclaimer: I do not own the song used here people it belongs to the awesome Jam Project.

*Insert Savior in the Dark by Jam Project

"Where there is light, Shadow larks and fear reigns"

As marking show in the world around it looking like an eye, the marking then shift around making look like a horror, before shifting into a claw.

"Yet by the blade of knight, mankind was given hope."

As the Marking shift once more they given the shape of a Makai Knight Garo that soon was given color and raise it sword to cut the shadow around, darkness surrounds as a path of glowing Makai marking show around in twisting around making looking like rings of gold.

-Yuke kaze no gotoku sadame no kenshiyo yami ni magirete...-

The marking soon vanish as the helmet of Garo show, before the scene change to a shadow of Gold holding his sword as he extended the blade and took a battle stance.

*Drum beats

The shadow move around looking like he was fighting against himself.

-Nan tatakau no ka sore wa ken ni kike-

The scene change with Team GARO, Ruby, and Jaune standing near each other soon flashes as standing in their place was Garo, Zero, Dan, Yaiba, and Gaia with Ollette wearing her Madou Robes.

As the scene shift with Gold and Aron were back to back slashing against marking or object that came their way with Jaune, Ruby, and Raymond fighting against their own foes as they came at them

-Seigi da to ka ai nado ore wa oikakenai-

Garo and Yaiba were seen fighting against Kiba as they fell from a great high within a black and white world.

Then change to where it show Garo standing alone, then Yaiba, followed by Gaia, Dan, and finally Zero.

-Yami ni umare yami ni shinobi-

Within the Makai realm show many hand light skin or demonic looking was sprouting up, up into the sky like they wanted to be set free before red eyes opened all around as Nexus in the persona of Kiba began to rise from it as he grinned an evil grin of a monster made by man.

-Yami wo kiri saku-

Gold and Ruby were seen leaning against a wall as the sky rain down upon him.

-Harukana furushimi kara uke tsumida-

Team GARO and Team RWBY were seen with JNPR as well as other Makai Teams as the Knight and priestess took to their rides and rode off into battle in the burning Vale.

-Shimeida kara-

Team GARO with Ruby and Jaune fighting against horror that came from all side and cut them all down which was followed by GARO, RWBY, and JNPR fighting against many Grimm

-Yuke! Kaze no gotoku Makai no kenshiyo-

The screen showed Pyrrha fighting against multiple foes at once all of which were human as she showed why she was the champion. Gold was soon showed fighting against Nexus which was then followed by Ruby and Cinder duking it out which led to Weiss and Ollette vs Akane and Emerald at once as then Raymond came up as he was going against Blaze and Mercury with Yang helping the spear wielding knight out. It then led to Aron and Blake going against Ico and Roman as it was an all-out brawl.

-Tamashii wo kometa-

In the Makai world as Garo, Zero, Dan, Yaiba, and Gaia were fighting the environment around.

-Ikari no wa tatakitsukete jidai ni kagayake-

GARO and RWBY back flipped away before KIBA's Knights summoned their armors becoming Kiba, Zem, and Zex while Cinder and Akane summoned forth there Maiden Powers. It was then followed by GARO and Ruby doing the same becoming Garo, Zero, Dan, and Yaiba. The eight then charged against their foes as it showed one after the other starting with Garo and Ruby, then Aron and Weiss, Raymond and Blake, and finishing it off with Ollette and Yang.

-Garo!-

As the smoke clears, a word that was scorch into the ground as Kiba and Garo clashed blades glaring at each other as Yaiba joined in against Cinder as it was clear these four were intent on defeating the other.

(Start Chapter)

A few hours had passed since Nexus and his team had given the orders to his team and Roman and they were carried out with the upmost prejudice. Akane once done had gone off to hunt a few minor Horrors to sedate herself from the thrill and needless to say she had carried out her fights splendidly. If she was a true Priestess of the Order she could very well be the most powerful Priestess of her time. Of course it helped that Ico had accompanied her as the Blind Faunus Makai Knight had proven to be quiet the fighter. They had acquired School Uniforms for Haven Academy and needless to say knowing that Lionheart was one their side helped with their cover. It also helped they impersonated students at Haven for a bit to help keep their cover but it didn't help that Nexus was the target for many female affection there.

Ico was currently practicing kata's as even without his eye sight he would not let his skills fall to waist all in the name of his master and the promise to undo what was said to be absolute. It was clear Ico was loyal to Nexus unlike Blaze as he had heard Watts comment how Team KIBA was like a set of chess pieces. Nexus was the King, Ico the Knight, Akane the Queen, and Blaze the Rook. All they needed was the Bishop and you would have a complete set of a checkmate five.

"Ico?" Nexus asked, bringing the blind Faunus out of his training as he heard Nexus enter the area.

"Yes, Nexus?" Ico greeted as it's not every day Nexus came to him outside of mission's assignments.

"May I confide in and or ask your opinion on something?" Nexus asked as this in turn caught Ico off guard.

This line of questioning took the Zem user for a spin; usually Nexus had a plan for every situation with contingent-plans for all possible outcomes. For him to ask to share an idea with anyone (aside from Salem) was virtually unheard of and must have been of the utmost importance. And Ico could see why Nexus was bringing up whatever was on his mind with him:

Cinder and her little brats were too arrogant and would probably immediately disagree for no reason other to spite him, Hazel was off on an errand of sorts involving Dust (completely different than what Roman had been doing), Watts was at a conference to keep his public identity alive and Tyrion was...well, the less Ico thought of him the better. Blaze was in a similar boat as Cinder, and since he couldn't outright beat Nexus in a fight, may try and use whatever knowledge was shared to his advantage/blackmail for what little good it would do him. Akane could be helpful and would be more than happy to listen to her beloved Nexus (Ico may have been blind, but he could tell her feelings of loyalty went FAR beyond whatever the others felt) but if the subject related to certain topics (I.E. women)... he dare not think what the Winter Maiden would do.

"Of course, Nexus." Ico said truthfully. "What...troubles you?" Ico asked wishing to aid his leader in his thoughts.

"Not so much trouble as a...possibility." Nexus assured his subordinate. "It relates to Ruby Rose." Nexus said as he looked to Ico as he had some thoughts.

"The Silver-eyed Yaiba?" Ico asked in concern. "Why does she trouble you?" He asked as considering Nexus had struck a stab of fear into her during their last bout Ico assumed Nexus intended to end Ruby when given the chance.

"I remembered something both Raven and mother taught me." Nexus explained. "Once you take something, you spend your whole life fighting to keep it.' Ironic, considering my Semblance and origin, but there is merit to those words." Nexus said as Ico and Akane were like his apprentices or protégé similar to Mercury and Emerald for Cinder. Blaze was with Salem for as long as Cinder yet he was not given such an honor after Nexus came into the picture.

"Indeed." Ico agreed. "Cinder may very well learn from that. But what does this have to..?" Ico began but was cut off by Nexus.

"I'm getting there." Nexus assured his most loyal and rational minion. "We want Yaiba, which she possesses. Hazel and the others have dealt with Silver Eyed warriors in the past, and Ruby is a novice at best, in spite of her successful Horror Hunts. As much as I and Salem want her gone, I'd be a fool not to see what value and skill she possesses. Besides, I'd rather Cinder stay as below me as possible." Nexus said as Ico was not surprised by this confession.

"A sentiment I share." Ico nodded. "Blaze is enough of a handful, but tolerable. His sister on the other hand?" Ico trailed off as Cinder was an annoyance to them trying to make herself seem better then Nexus when it was a fools dream. The fact was Cinder was nowhere near Nexus's level of power or cunning and she was just a bug trying to challenge a god. This fact was one Nexus, Ico, and Akane reminded her daily to keep her in line.

"Returning to my point." Nexus said, as much as he loved belittling Cinder and Blaze, he still wanted to Ico's opinion of this idea. "Ruby is aware of KIBA, but not me or our identities. We arrive at Beacon soon, and she is very much a fairy tale loving child. Who's to say if she doesn't fancy the more...romantic aspects?" Nexus said as suddenly, Ico knew where Nexus was going with this. Still, he held his tongue.

"If I were to get the girl to fall for me, as well as manipulate a few things in the plan to work out differently...I could have both Yaiba and the Silver Eyes at my disposal. They are powerful rivals, but imagine what we could do with them on our side?" Nexus said as not only would they have Ozpin's ace in the hole but Nexus may very well have a new apprentice and a new power for Kiba's heir. Ico admitted, that while he found the idea of playing with a girl's emotions intolerable and was disgusted his master was contemplating this, that the plan did have some merit. Why battle each other when there could be...

Memories of his own beloved appeared in his mind, and he shook them away. "How serious are you in pursuing this?" Ico asked as he wanted to be sure of this.

"Not very, to be honest." Nexus said. "It's just a thought. I sense that you have some qualms?" Nexus said as nothing escaped his notice among his team even when they are apart.

"A few." Ico admitted. "If I recall, Ruby has a sister who happens to be the daughter of your former teacher, and she is rather protective of her. While there is no doubt in my mind you could defeat her, I imagine it'd be safer not to risk angering her. I'm also concerned about the current Golden Knight..." Ico said as he knew Gold can be a major problem in this regard. Nexus' mood soured, but he motioned Ico to continue. "While he too is nowhere near ready to cause an ample threat, you did enjoy fighting him and his 'Good Luck' Semblance could prove very tricky to deal with, possibly even risking you being revealed. That and...This may just be a rumor mill that Emerald brought up, but Gold seems to be rather close to Ruby. Whether as a teacher, brother-figure or, brother's forbid, lover, I don't know. All I'm saying is that you'd...we'd...have to be very careful and make sure she is nowhere near those two."

Nexus let out a sigh, but then smiled at Ico. "Thank you, Ico. Return to your Katas and then get some rest." Nexus said as they had to head to Beacon tomorrow.

"Nexus?" Ico asked as he readied himself regardless.

"If the opportunity presents itself, I'll give this motion a shot. If not, things proceed as plan."

He then chuckled. "Good thing Akane's not here. She would have murdered the girl in a rage." Nexus said as Ico then returned the chuckle before speaking.

"May I assume this never leaves us until necessary?" Ico asked as it would probably be better if Akane never hears of this.

"You assume correct." Nexus confirmed and with that Nexus vanished and Ico trained for a few hours.

(Scene Break the next Day Beacon)

An Atlas warship was landing at the sky docks of Beacon as many ships from Atlas flew by. Some would thing Atlas is transporting troops for war but in fact Atlas's academies is joint with the military sense being the strongest military power in the world it was no wonder they were transporting troops as well.

In Ozpin's clock like office he and Glynda looked at the eye sore in the sly as this was a bit overkill. "Wow looks like someone is over compensating." Eruba said as Ozpin looked at the fleet.

"Ironwood certainly loves bringing his work with him wherever he travels." Glynda said as she was not pleased especially sense this could compromise Team GARO's assignment here since they need to hunt down the attackers of the Two Maidens and bring them down. Plus with the appearance of Kiba Ozpin had a small hunch James may have been indirectly involved somehow. After all Qrow met Kiba and noticed similarities with his fighting style to that of Raven. If Raven had trained this foe then it would stand to reason she either has turned or she lost control of her student who gave himself to darkness.

"Well running an academy and the military makes him a busy man. But yes those are a bit of an eye sore" Ozpin said as Eruba spoke.

"Good I wasn't the only one who thought that." Eruba said as Ozpin looked. It was then that the beeping sound on his desk alerted him of a visitor as he already knew who it was.

"Here we go." Ozpin said as he looked to the door. "Come in." He said as the elevator door then opened to reveal a middle aged man in all white as on his right hand was a white glove.

"Ozpin." The man greeted as Ozpin straightened out.

"Hello general." Ozpin greeted as Ironwood walked to him.

"Please drop the formalities." Ironwood said as he shook Ozpins hand. "It's been too long." Ironwood greeted as he then turned to Glynda. "And Glynda it has certainly been to long sense we last spoke." Ironwood greeted as Glynda glared a bit.

"Oh James." She greeted before leaning to Ozpin. "I'll be outside." She said before leaving.

"Well she hasn't changed a bit." Ironwood said as he saw this.

"So what in the world has brought you all the way down from Atlas?" Ozpin said as he walked to his desk and poured some coffee. "Headmasters don't typically travel with their students for the Vytal Festival." Ozpin said as he handed the cup to Ironwood.

"Well you know how much I love Vale this time of year." Ironwood said as he reached into his coat and pulled out a flask and poured some of its contents into his cup. "Besides with you hosting I thought this might be a good opportunity for us to catch up." Ironwood said as Ozpin looked.

"Well I can appreciate quality time between friends. However the small fleet outside my window has me somewhat concerned." Ozpin said as he poured himself some coffee.

"Well Concern is what brought me here." Ironwood began as Ozpin looked.

"Well I understand that travel between kingdoms has become increasingly difficult." Ozpin began but Ironwood then spoke up.

"Ozpin you and I both know why I brought those men." Ironwood said as Ozpin drank his coffee.

Ozpin then sighed knowing very well why Ironwood brought his fleet. "We are in a time of peace. Shows of power like this is just going to give off the wrong impression." Ozpin said as Ironwood looked.

"If what Qrow said is true then." Ironwood said only for Ozpin to cut him off.

"If what Qrow said is true then we will handle it tactfully. It's the Vytal Festival time to celebrate unity and peace, so I suggest you not scare people by transporting hundreds of Soldiers halfway across the Continent." Ozpin said as Ironwood had a retort.

"I'm just being cautious." James said as he rather avoid the possibility that the greatest mistake Atlas had ever done wasn't here and siding with Salem.

"As am I. Which is why we shall continue to train the best Huntsman and Huntresses we can." Ozpin said as Ironwood nodded.

"Believe me I am." Ironwood said before he began leave the office only to stop to look at Ozpin. "But ask yourself this: do you honestly believe your children can win a war?" He asked as Ozpin looked while Ironwood left.

"I'm hope they never have to." Ozpin said as Eruba looked.

"Plus there are bigger threats then you know of Ironwood." Eruba said as Ozpin had to agree with his Madou Ring partner.

(Scene break Beacon Library)

"Ok folks dig in!" Gold called out as he served his specialty cooking to the crew as Raymond sighed a bit as Gold sat down with them.

"You know there is a no food policy in the library right?" Raymond asked as he looked to Gold.

"Then why are you eating it then?" Yang asked as Raymond was in fact eating the food as Raymond glared.

"Shut up and let's get back to playing." Raymond said as the group of Teams GARO and RWBY were playing Remnant the Game. Ruby and Gold controlled Atlas, Raymond and Yang controlled Mistral, Blake and Ollette had Vale, and Weiss with Aron had Vacuo.

"He's right though we'll have to clean this up later." Zaruba said as Gold glared at his Madou Ring.

"Hmmm." Ruby said as she looked over her hand.

"I say go for it Ruby." Gold said as he sat next to Ruby ready to rumble.

"Yang Xiao Long and Raymond Shiro prepare your Kingdom for battle!" Ruby called out as Gold smirked.

"Let's duel!" Gold called ready to duel.

"Bring it on!" Yang cheered as she and Raymond were ready for whatever these two may throw at them.

"We deploy the Atlesian Airfleet!" Ruby cheered as this caused Yang to gasp.

"That's right with these fly guys we can fly over your Ursai and nail your walls directly!" Gold called out as he smirked at this as Ruby made the sound effects of it happening.

"You fiends!" Yang accused as Raymond was calm about this.

"And since Atlas is part of Mantel, my repair time only lasts one turn." Ruby boasted as she saw victory with her and Gold's grasp.

Then Raymond chuckled a bit as he adjusted his glasses as Gold looked at him funny. "What so funny?" Gold asked as he forgot Yang has Beacon's best strategist fighting for her as an advisor.

"I won't deny your plan was sneaky and almost flawless but you don't get to my and Yang's position without saving an Ace for just the right moment." Raymond said as Yang lifted the card in her hand.

"Wait don't tell me that." Gold began as Yang smiled.

"That's right you just activated my trap card!" Yang called out as she revealed the Trap Card in Question Giant Nevermore!" Yang called out as she slammed the card down causing the table and gathered food from Gold to shake as everyone had agreed Gold was an excellent cook as Ruby was shocked.

"WHAT?!" Ruby cried out in shock as Gold was wide eyed at this.

"If we roll a seven or higher Fatal Feathers will slice your fleet in two." Yang called as Gold and Ruby saw the card is a risky one since it has a negative effect as this was where luck would come in.

"But, if you roll a Six or Lower, the Nevermore will turn on your own forces!" Ruby called as that was a very risky play as Gold saw this.

"Without sacrifice there can be no victory." Raymond said as he smiled to Yang. "So we shall take this risk to defeat your fleet and armies Gold and Ruby." Raymond said as he was getting into this little game as soon Yang and Raymond rolled the dreaded lucky seven as Gold and Ruby cried out in shock as Gold's luck was used against him.

Team JNPR was near team RWBY and GARO table as they were studying around, other than Nora who is sleeping, and Jaune, reading a comic book until it gotten taken away from Pyrrha and in its play, History of Grimm and Dust, as Pyrrha herself took the comic for herself to read.

Back at RWBY and GARO table with Ruby crying over her lose, as Weiss was going over her hand as Yang said, "Well Aron and Weiss, it's your guys turn."

"Sweet let's get started." Aron said as the Wolf Faunus was ready to rumble.

Going her cards once more and didn't get a clue of how the game words as she said, "I have… Absolutely no idea what's going; on."

"That's why I'm here Weiss-cream." Aron said as he slid next to Weiss. "See we're playing as Vacuo, which means all Vacuo-based cards comes with a bonus!" Aron said as he explained the game to his possible girlfriend.

"That sound dumb," Weiss made her statement as she still didn't understand and the bonus didn't seem that good for her. Aron then began to mess with her card, shifting them around.

"See… we've got sandstorm, Dessert scavenge- Oh! Oh! Resourceful Raider!" Aron said as he pulled out the card in question to show to Weiss as they made sure their strategy talk was kept hidden between them. "See now we can take Ruby discarded, Air fleet- (Ruby: Nooooo!)- And put it in our hand." Aron said as he explained how the card worked as Ruby over heard them even if the strategy was useless to her now.

"Okay?" Weiss started to get the idea a bit more as Aron started to go more into the cards, "And since Vacuo warriors have an endurance boost against natural hazards, we can use sandstorm to disable Yang's ground forces and simultaneously infiltrate her kingdom!"

"And that means?" Weiss asked as she was still lost on this whole thing.

"You're just three moves away from conquering remnant!" Ruby cry out as she wanted to do that to Yang.

"Which means victory is in our hands." Silva said as Aron smirked at this.

Soon enough, To Weiss as she see she was a step closer of winning the game as she gain a smile and started to laugh like mad, with thunder in the background as Aron joined her with chains forming behind the two as he struck an insane pose with his hands opened and arms crossed over his chest while laughing. "YES! FEAR THE ALMIGHTY POWER OF OUR FORCES! COWER AS THEY PILLAGE YOUR HOMES AND WEEP AS THEY TAKE YOUR CHILDERN FROM YOUR VERY ARMS-!"

As Weiss and Aron were going… mad, Yang interrupted her and said, "Trap card!"

"Hu?" Aron asked as he saw this.

Yang moved the pieces on the board around as she knocks down all of Weiss pieces and said, "Your armies has been destroyed."

Now Weiss was crying as she said, "I hate this game of emotions we play!" And with that Weiss was hugging Aron as he held her as he was also a bit tearful at his lost though not as much as Weiss was.

"Stay strong, Weiss! We'll make it through this together."

"Shut up! Don't touch me!" Weiss said as she just hugged Aron and both losers just cried together.

"Alright Blake your up." Yang said as she put her hands behind her head as she looked to Blake who looked to them.

"Huh?" She asked as she looked to them. "OH I'm sorry what am I doing?" Blake asked as she was kind of lost here.

"We're playing as Vale trying to conquer the Kingdoms of Remnant." Ollette explained as she tried to keep Blake caught up but Blake didn't seem focused or interested.

"Hey! Can I play?" Jaune asked as he looked to the group.

As the whole of Team RWBY turned their heads to look at Jaune Ruby spoke up. "Sorry Jaune, we've already got eight people for doubles." Ruby said as she looked to Jaune.

"Besides this game requires a certain level of tactical cunning that I seriously doubt you possess."

Yang then spoke up bring up something that happened not long ago during the game. "Uhh... You attacked your own naval fleet two turns ago." Yang said as Aron looked to her.

"Even when I told you not to." Aron said as he looked to his partner for this game as Weiss growled at that comment.

"Bring it on, Ice Queen! I'll have you know that I've been told that I'm a natural, born leader!"

Weiss gave Jaune an unsure look as she spoke up questioning what she just heard Jaune say. "By who? You're mother?" Eclipse quipped in to the holder of Gaia cutting Weiss off as they both looked to Jaune.

"And Pyrrha!" Jaune replied as Pyrrha shouted "Hello again!" in the background when Jaune said her name.

"Come on, let me play your hand for one turn."

Weiss leaned back in her chair as she spoke up still not convinced. "I'm not trusting you with the good citizens of Vacuo!"

"So deep water where are you from?" Aron asked causing Neptune to freeze up a bit at the mention of that word before he got a grip of himself. "Wait what?" Aron asked as he looked to Neptune when he saw this.

'That boy has a problem with water.' Eclipse said calling him out on it instantly.

"Haven..." Neptune replied to Aron once her regained himself as Aron gave the funny 'I know your secret,' look as he walked over to Weiss. "... And I don't believe I've caught your name, Snow Angle." Neptune asked as Aron began to growl a bit as he may not be the jealous type but seeing Neptune flirt with Weiss did put him on edge.

"Um... I'm Weiss." Weiss replied back causing Jaune to lean forwards a bit with a, what the hell, reaction as he spoke up, his tone matching his body's reaction. "Are you kidding me!?" Jaune called as it seems Neptune had beat Jaune there.

"Pleasure to meet you." Neptune said to Weiss not taking any notice of Jaune's reaction behind him.

"Well not to be a bother but I think someone here isn't very happy." Weiss said gesturing to Aron with her eyes as Aron looked to be seething.

"Wow Neptune might wanna back off I heard Wolf Faunus don't take kindly to guys stealing there girls." Gold said as Weiss glared at Gold.

"And I told you it's a trial period till the Dance!" Weiss countered as she did expect Aron to sweep her off her feet if he wanted her to date him.

"Got it." Neptune said as he saw Aron was really pinning for Weiss which was a shocker and ironic also as it seems a Faunus had fallen for a Schnee.

Sun then placed his hands on the table as he lean forwards next to Blake as he spoke to her from her spot next to Ollette. "I never took you as the board-game-playing type." Sun said as Ollette saw something was up.

"Right..." Blake replied as she looked up at Sun but pushing his arm out of the wall as she started to stand up placing the cards in her hands down on the table. "Well, I think I'm done playing actually... I'll see you guys later." Was, the last thing Blake said as she walked to the exit of the library causing, Sun to shrug as he looked to the group.

"Woman." Nora finally said to break the awkward silence as they all looked to each other.

Then a bell rung as Aron looked and saw under the board was a red letter as he noticed it was close to him and Ruby. "Heh duty calls." Aron said as he walked passed Ruby to head to their dorm and with his weapon tapped Eclipse as a silent signal that a hunt was coming up. Ruby saw this and understood as she had to get ready.

(Scene break RWBY Dorm Room)

At team RWBY dorm room, Blake was on her bed, thinking about what has happen back at the dock area.

'Brothers of the White Fang why are you aiding this scum!?'

'The White Fang and I are going in on a joint business together.'

*sound of fighting within the memory

Blake felt helpless, she can't do anything to stop the White Fang or help other Faunus out there struggling with the conflict that just being caught in the cross fire, for all she knew they were Join the White Fang or worst, becoming horrors, and what worst she felt something was coming and didn't know to stop it.

As she stuck in her memories trying to think of something, a memory of Headmaster Ozpin were talking.

(Flashback)

Blake was sitting in a chair in front of the headmaster as he carry his cane in with his normal cup of coffee.

"Well, This has certainly been and eventful evening as well as tragic," Ozpin said as he just gotten reports at what happen at the dock, and didn't know to be worry about it or not until the 'Earth Quake,' cover story, but that is not the point of having Blake here in the room.

As Blake look up to her headmaster as he sat down and said, "I'm sure that after a night of thwarting attempted robbery you probably just want to go home and take a nap, but... I was hoping that maybe we could have a chance to talk."

Rested his Ring hand down as Blake took notice to it as she saw Eruba, and reminded her of Zaruba and thought, 'Could he be a-' her train of thought were stopped as Ozpin snap his fingers as Blake snap out of her thought, and look to Ozpin as he said, "A little rude to be staring when I'm wanted us to talk."

"O-of course," Blake recover herself from making a mistake but she could still feel the presence within Ozpin's ring as her mind was on Kiba.

"Wonderful, as you know, in order to enroll at my academy, students must first pass a rigorous entrance exam." Ozpin stating a fact coming to his school is no easy task. "Most applicants spend years of preparation training at one of many combat schools around the world... You are one of the few who did not," Ozpin said as he took a sip of his coffee. Blake gave a look trying to figure out where Ozpin was going with this as he went on after taking a sip saying, "And you passed the exam with flying colors."

"I was raised outside the kingdoms. If you can't fight, can't survive," Blake spoken about the harshness most anything from outside the kingdom would know as it wasn't a total lie being as she was from Menagerie.

"Well you have most certainly Survived, Blake." Ozpin pointed out the one good thing that has happen, maybe something else as well as he was fully aware of this fact.

"I admire your drive. And I am proud to run a school that accepts individuals from all walks of life." Ozpin pick up his coffee to his lip before he could sip, he said, "Rich, poor, human…" Taking his sip and then said, "Faunus."

Blake in turn frowned at that but it couldn't be helped as the Headmaster set down his mug as he asked, "Why do you wear that bow, Blake? Why hide who you are?"

Blake kind of snaps at the headmaster, to what she said right away, "You may be willing to accept the Faunus, Professor Ozpin, but your species is not." Proven many time by Winchester when he was picking on Velvet, if only she could stand up for herself but too afraid it could hurt her race more than anything.

"True... but we are continuing to take strides to lessen the divide," Ozpin do care about all life of this world of human and Faunus.

"With all due respect, you need to start taking some larger strides..." Blake seem to be demanding, Ozpin to do more than he could and then settle down as she stated, "Until then, I'd rather avoid any unnecessary attention."

"I want people to see me for who I am... Not what I am," Blake still could let her secret of a Faunus be let out in the open yet, even if her friends, and the Team SSBR knew, she still don't want it to be let out.

"And what are you?" Ozpin throw a curve ball at Blake as she blink for a moment and said, "I- I don't understand what you're asking."

"How did you know that the White Fang would be at the shipyard tonight?" Ozpin asked, as he may read the report, but he does want to hear Blake side the story.

"I didn't... I just happened to be at the right place at the right time," To what Blake said is true, as she, Sun, and Aron went off of a hunch and rumor, it was at the right place and time.

"You wouldn't have been the first... But what happened tonight was not an isolated incident. I may be your headmaster, but I am also Huntsman... and a fellow follower of an order." Ozpin hinted but Blake didn't get the full picture as she raises an eyebrow to that. "…And it is my sworn duty to protect this world from the forces that conspire against it, as well as many other thing, to secret are best keep hidden in the dark." Blake is still raising her eyebrow to her headmaster, as Ozpin could not lie to a student, but could not tell the truth ether. "Blake… Are you sure there is nothing else you would like to tell me?" Ozpin wanted to know what happen as there are still dark area in the report he read.

Blake, didn't know if telling her headmaster about the masked young man Kiba who regenerated his head from Yang blowing it off and brought down a skyscraper fighting Gold was a good idea but if something or someone that dangerous was out there Ozpin should be made aware. But at the same time Blake wasn't sure if Kiba could even be defeated after all regenerating your own head after it was completely splattered across the ground from being blown up is something that shouldn't be humanly possible even with a Semblance. It may have been against her better judgment as she then responded, "I'm sure."

Ozpin look closely into Blake's eyes and saw a lie… but he cannot force people to tell as that would go against everything he does and for reason as well as he said, "Very well."

Reach for his mug and cane as he picks them up and said, "Thank you for your time, Ms. Belladonna."

Ozpin got out of his chair and to the exit of the room as he said, "If you ever need to talk to me..." Blake narrows her eyes to the headmaster as she did not want to talk anymore as he did get the picture and said, "Please don't hesitate to ask."

Ozpin left the sound of a door opening, as Blake snap out of her memories.

(End of flashback)

Blake blink and turn to the dorm door as Yang, Ruby and Weiss walked in. "Gauh should never had let him play." Yang said as Ruby laughed.

"You just mad because not only did Beret beat you with his tactical cunning but the new guy also beat you." Ruby said remembering Sun's teammate Neptune. "See if you would have just attacked him when I told you none of this would have happened." Ruby said as Weiss turned to Blake who was at the door.

"Stop." Weiss said pointing at Blake as the Faunus almost had her hand on the door knob. "Lately you've been quiet antisocial and moody." Weiss said as Yang looked.

"Uh have you met Blake?" Yang asked as Weiss looked.

"Which I get is kind of your "Thing." Weiss said as Blake turned to her. "But you've been doing it more than usual, which quite frankly in unacceptable." Weiss said as she wasn't done. "You made a promise to me, to all of us, that you would let us know if something was wrong." Weiss said as soon she pulled a 160. "So Blake Belladonna! What! Is! Wrong!" Weiss called as she pointed at Blake from above only to show she was balancing on a chair which was only its back two legs.

Weiss then gained a thoughtful look before using speed and putting the chair back where it belonged before returning to the group.

Blake closed her eyes to gain her cool as she looked at the group. "I just... I don't understand how everyone can be so calm." Blake said as the trio looked to their teammate.

"You're still thinking about Torchwick? And... Kiba" Ruby asked as she was concerned for Blake but was also afraid of facing Kiba again after what he did to Gold and Vale which was still recovering from the effect of it.

"Torchwick, Kiba, the White Fang, all of it! Something big is happening and no one is doing anything about it!" Blake called out as Yang put in her two cents.

"Ozpin told us not to worry. Between the police and the Huntsman, I'm sure they can handle it." Yang said as she tried to get Blake to go against finding them as Yang didn't want to cross paths with Kiba again and be reminded how her own strength if she's not careful could actually kill someone but unfortunately Blake wasn't convinced.

"Well I'm not! They don't know the White Fang like I do and they don't know what Kiba can do with them not even I know what Kiba is fully capable of." Blake yelled as that caused everyone to look at each other as she knew Kiba was a threat if not THE Biggest Threat since the Grimm considering instant healing may only be the tip of the iceberg that was Kiba's abilities.

"Ok between blowing up nightclubs, stopping thieves, slaying demons from Hell, and fighting for freedom, I'm sure the three of you think your all ready to go out and apprehend these ne'er-do-wells..." Weiss began as both Ruby and Eclipse looked.

"Uh who?" Eclipse asked before Weiss continued.

"But let me once again be the voice of reason... We're students. We're not ready to handle this sort of situation." Weiss said as Ruby had an argument. "GARO is more equipped for this type of thing and look what happened when we faced Kiba and look what happened to them, Vale nearly got leveled and Kiba stabbed Gold through the gut!" Weiss argued as Ruby was on the fence about this.

"Well yeah but-" Ruby began only for Weiss to cut her off.

"We're not ready!" Weiss yelled as Blake had an argument.

"And we may never be ready! Our enemies aren't just going to sit around and wait for graduation day! They're out there, somewhere, planning their next move, and none of us know what it is, but it's coming. Whether we're ready or not." Blake said as that was all Ruby needed to hear as she looked to them.

"Ok. All in favor of becoming the youngest huntresses to single-handedly bring down a corrupt organization conspiring against the Kingdom of Vale and with GARO's help bring down a super powerful Edge Lord Wannabe ... say I." Ruby said as she put a hand up as she was going to do this as long as GARO was with them on this.

"Yes! I love it when you're feisty" Yang called out with a grin as the last part was directed torts Blake.

"Well, I suppose it could be fun." Weiss said with her arms crossed.

"None of you said "aye." Ruby said sadly as she looked away.

"Alright then... We're in this together." Blake said as Ruby looked back.

"Let's hatch a plan." Ruby said as Yang smiled.

"Yeah!" Yang called out before Ruby went wide eyed and gasp as if she realized something.

"I left my board game in the library and I gotta meet with Aron for a Horror Hunt!" Ruby cried out as she remembered this hunt as Weiss was annoyed.

"We're doomed." Weiss said as this was not starting off as well as she would have hoped.

Ruby then ran outside to head to the library get her game, and then meet up with Aron. "I'll be right back!" Ruby called as she ran only to bump into someone in the hall.

"Ah… sorry," Ruby said as he look and asked, "Are you okay?" The person she bumped into reach down a hand, as that person said, in an arrogant tone as they said, "I'm fine. Just watch where you're going."

Ruby looked at the people in front of her as she sees Ico, Blaze, Akane, Mercury, and Emerald as Ico was now wearing a blindfold that covered enough of his eyes to hide them but also show the scars for his blindness. Emerald helped Ruby to her feet as she looked to her. "Oh Right sorry." Ruby apologized as Ruby looked to them seeing they all had the same Haven uniform on. "I'm Ruby. Are you new?" Ruby asked after introducing herself as soon a male voice was heard.

"Actually yes we are, visiting from Haven in fact." Nexus was heard as he walked torts Ruby with Cinder close behind him as one hand was half way out of his pocket while the other was holding the box for Remnant the Game Ruby had left in the library.

"Hey my game!" Ruby called out as she saw this as Nexus looked upon it.

"Oh this is your I found it while exploring the School a bit. Talk about a stroke of good fortune." Nexus said as he offered Ruby the box smiling to her as Ruby blushed at how handsome Nexus looked. Ruby look at both Nexus and Cinder's eyes as they both seem familiar to her but didn't recognize either of them as Cinder looks back at her giving a smile while Nexus offered the box to Ruby.

"Oh um thanks for giving me back my game." Ruby said as she took the box from Nexus.

"It's no problem a lovely gem such as yourself shouldn't worry about losing her belongings." Nexus flirted with her as Akane scoffed but assumed it was for their cover as Ruby ended up blushing at Nexus compliment to her.

'I don't like him.' Eclipse thought as she looked to Nexus as something about him unnerved the Madou Ring as it seems Cinder was glaring at Eclipse to which the Madou Ring took notice to which Eclipse knew to keep a close eye on them both. By the looks of it Cinder had a well disguised obsessive look when she looked to the Madou Ring.

Once she fell off from her blushing high Ruby then figured out something as she said, "Oooooooh! You're here for the festival! Oh, but exchange students have their own dormitory."

"I guess we just got turned around," Mercury said as he looked to Ruby saying it in an almost cocky manner unaware that Ollette was monitoring them through one of her Madou Tool spy gear she had set up just in case.

"Oh don't worry happens all the time." Ruby said as she was unaware of the rest of Team GARO was patrolling the school trying to find the students who had stolen the Maiden Powers. "Uh your building is just east of here." Ruby said as she gave the directions as Nexus smirked.

"Thank you then milady." Nexus flirted a bit with a small bow as it seems his allure was active here. "Perhaps we may meet again soon. But first might I inquire your name princess?" Nexus said using the Sauvé tone as if talking to a true beauty of the world.

"It's um Ruby, Ruby Rose." Ruby introduced as Nexus saw his plan was making progress more so then he had hoped.

"It's a pleasure to meet you then Crimson Rose Princess." Nexus flirted as Ruby was blushing very much at how Nexus seemed to act the part of some of her favorite stories flawlessly. "My name is Nexus Kite Sparrow at your service these three are my teammates here, Ico Ebony, Blaze Fall, and Akane Ketsueki together we form Team KIBA of Haven." Nexus said as he also wanted to play a bit of a game to see if Ruby would catch the bait he laid out.

Ruby shivered up a bit but quickly reprimanded herself that it was just their team name nothing more. Blaze rolled his eyes as he looked to Cinder and her teammates. "Come on sister we should head to our dorms." Blaze said as Cinder looked and agreed.

"That would be best I suppose perhaps we may see each other by morning light." Nexus said as he did a small bow to her.

Ruby just smile unaware of the threat she was talking to and said, "Yea maybe!"

"But until then." Nexus said lifting his right hand before making a Rose appear from it one that lacked its thorns. "Please accept this this gesture of my enjoyment of our meeting by chance or destiny." Nexus said offering Ruby the rose as this made Ruby blush even more as Ruby ended up accepting the Rose as Nexus and his teammates with Cinder and her followers then took their leave.

"Oh! And welcome to Beacon!" Ruby called out as Nexus smirked a bit as he planted the seeds now all he had to do was guide the pieces to their proper places. After all he never loses Ruby only two options will be to either join him once this is over or be consumed by him. Either way it was fun to see how angry Cinder was getting at the fact Nexus was flirting with the girl who had the armor she desired.

(Scene Break Aron in Vale that night)

As Aron and Ollette were sitting on a rooftop overlooking an area below him as he could smell the cheap perfume and the disgusting place he was staring at where the Horror had set up its den. "How much longer will she be?" Aron asked as he had to show Ruby some tricks of infiltration like these.

"Just give her a bit she is fast after all." Ollette said as she looked to Aron as she was to provide backup seeing as this was a three man mission after all.

"Maybe, but this night isn't going to last forever and the horror may already took its next victim," Aron said as he does take some of his duty seriously as Ollette patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I have sensors around as if the horror does get by us, it would be passing by one and we would be able to track it down again."

Soon enough some rose petals came forth out of nowhere on the roof top as Ruby came running in with her semblance as she look around for the other two as she saw them and said, "Their you guys are."

"Your late you know?" Aron said as Ruby nods and said, "Yea, I was talking to me team for a moment and I forgot my board game as well to meet you guys here, sorry about that."

"It's fine Ruby but… please keep track of time if you could and remember to put away your game when you're done at least," Ollette said as Ruby nodded and said, "Alright, so what going, are we going to walk up to a horror and get him away from the crowd or just cut it down?"

"Infiltration at the moment," Aron said as Ruby look to her Makai knight senior and asked, "Why infiltration?"

"Because we are trying to locate the horror at the moment, as we may get mission telling us about a horror or the area a horror could be hunting in, as in this area Inga have been found and report of people going missing are from this area of things."

Ruby walk over to the edge and saw the streets with many people walking around or hanging around as there were some guys talking on their phone, watching outside of a club, even some ladies that were dress up strangely and loosely to Ruby taste of clothing.

"So… what are we looking for?" Ruby asked as Ollette pull out a piece of paper as she started to said, "Report have been coming in from this area to the watchdogs as some women that come to their area has vanish mystery as later they could have turn up later some of them dead, some reported as dead after being missing for 6 to 7 months, for me I think someone could be using a date rape drug but don't always count on one things."

"Short term, looking for a guy that maybe more interested in women that around this area, no report of who the horror could be looking like or what they could do," Aron told as Ruby nodded and said, "So how are we going to track the horror down anyways?"

Ollette smile and said, "Join the crowd walk around see if someone with large amount of Inga within them to see if, follow to lead to their next or sort and cut it down."

"Simple enough I guess," Ruby said as Aron spoken up saying to her, "Not really, these horrors are smart and wouldn't give themselves a way that ease."

"I have a few things I may come in handy for you Ruby," Ollette said as Ruby turn to her friend as Ollette started pull out some items as she hand it to Ruby as she said, "Some gear to help you out."

Ruby saw it as some seem to be grappling cord to launch up into the air fast some new armor and a mask to wear as ruby asked, "What is all this for anyways?"

"Some basic stuff for you as the robe to help protect you more and are very flexible so you can move around with ease, some tools to help assists you while on a mission and a mask to help hid and protect your face," Ollette explain a bit to her as ruby took at the madou tools and said, "The things seem nice and all… but I would now what to do with it or if I would be even using it."

Ollette shrug and said, "Sorry of giving you a short run down on them, but if you want, I would want, you could a few thing of being a priestess, as some knight train in this to be better in battles against horrors, even making your own tools to use."

Ruby thought for a moment as training in the art of priestess… may not be a bad idea, as she wanted to get better, but there was only so much she can do physical wise right now so training in magic or construct tool could help her out, but the only question is… can she really do it?

"I'll give some thought, after this mission," Ruby said as Ollette nodded to her and then Aron said, "Try telling her what each tool down to maybe help her out on this mission, as right now, we need to get moving now."

"Right," Ollette said as Aron jump down from the roof and walk into the streets.

"Ok so details now." Ruby said as she held a scope.

"Ok as you know Crescent Yaiba is a hundreds weapon melded with a Makai Knight Weapon. This in turn allows it to be open for certain customizations but it's tricky with a Priestess aid because certain damages can affect the armor drastically." Ollette explained as she look to Ruby who listened.

"But some Madou Tools can be perfect when used to hide in plain sight such as the mask. It not only protects your face and identity but also acts as a mission visor." Ollette said as she then pulled out certain armor pieces. "Plus the defensive gear we use offers the user certain advantages with enchantment to boot." Ollette said as Ruby saw this.

"Oh like an RPG!" Ruby called out as she looked to Ollette.

"Exactly with these we can perform our mission and cut down the Horror before the Night ends." Ollette explained sounding like a teacher.

"Ok makes sense." Ruby said as she looked to the people below. "But it's good to see people get better after the Docks." Ruby said as Kiba still haunted her nightmares.

"For now but darkness always lurks and from it Horrors." Ollette said as she made sure Ruby was properly equipped. "Come on let's start investigating." Ollette said as Ruby nodded before the two jumped down and joined the crowd.

(With the Crowd Aron)

Aron sat outside a bar area as he listened in on the people inside with his chains and senses as he heard them talking. "Hey heard about this one club?" One of them asked as Aron waited.

"Yeah brothel type of place normally the rich and wealthy go there to get some action and business." The other said as Aron listened.

"Yeah they go in and come out with more money and contacts then before. They have every girl you could ever want and best part the police can't even find it." The guy said as Aron noticed this.

"Then how do you know it's real?" He asked as Aron listened.

"Because you need a special invitation no invite no find." He said as Aron heard this.

"A brothel that can't be found without an invite huh?" Aron said as he stood up.

"Found information for tonight's break in Zero?" Silva asked as Aron smirked.

"You know it." Aron said as they needed to find that invite as he took his leave of the area.

(Meanwhile later with Ruby and Ollette)

"Kind of like robbers." Ruby said as she listened in with Ollette at a park area as they looked around.

"Yes which may actually become legit look to those business men over there." Eclipse said as he looked to them.

"I see them why?" Ruby asked as Eclipse looked.

"They have the scent of Inga on them not at a Horrors level or a human tainted by their blood nut enough to be noticed." Eclipse said as Ollette then took out a monocle like magnifying glass and once activated she saw the objects in question being in there pockets.

"Hmm it seems they were invited by the Horror to its den, perhaps the Horror seeks more than woman it seems money as well." Ollette said as Ruby looked.

"Can it lead us to the Horror?" Ruby asked as Eclipse chuckled.

"Yes but making them give it up will be impossible if we wish to retrieve them we will need to pick pocket them." Eclipse said as Ollette stood up.

"Ok Ruby next lesson pick pocketing. Sometimes civilians may need something that a human has but getting it of their free will or with magic may cause a stir pick pocketing is a gentle precise task and with the right Semblance easy." Ollette said surprising Ruby.

"But isn't that illegal?" Ruby asked as Ollette sighed.

"Ruby just watch and follow my lead." Ollette said as it was illegal but to cut down Horrors they need to do things to make it so.

Ruby watched Ollette and did as told as Ollette walked by the two men in question. When she did she spun around them easily as Ollette during the spin had slipped her hands into the two men's pockets and left them continue their day and walked off. "Ok we got it." Ollette said once she rejoined Ruby as she showed the two passes to Ruby.

"Ohh let me see." Ruby said as she and Eclipse looked at the passes in question.

"It appears these 'passes,' are keys to access the Horror's den." Eclipse said as she felt this type of Inga before.

"Wait so the Horror can creates its own sort of pocket dimension this is troubling." Ollette said taking note to the Makai marks on it.

"Basically." Eclipse confirmed as Ruby read the pass.

"Pleasures of Kings?" Ruby asked as Ollette looked at it and saw what looked like silhouettes of ladies dressed in what was assumed to be slovenly outfits.

"By the looks and sound of it, it seems to be the name of a Brothel." Ollette said as Ruby went wide eyed as Ruby quickly gave both passes to Ollette.

"Gross! So gross ewww!" Ruby yelled as she rubbed her hands on her corset not wanting to touch things some sick pervert touched.

"Tell me about it." Ollette said as she hated those types of Horrors. "If I had to guess the Horror was in charge of this place so that makes anyone who enters it prime food." Ollette said as she looked to Ruby. Ollette looked to the two business men heading to the bus stop to which she used a Madou Tool and took a picture of them as she looked at her madou tool as it then once connected to her scroll showed the two business men's information.

"High class people think Weiss' daddy if I had to guess people such as lawmakers or bankers." Ollette said as she looked at the information she got on them. "Lots of Lien and lots of resources and connections." Ollette read as she knew those types of people.

"Ok and what does this mean?" Ruby asked as Eclipse then spoke.

"Think Ruby the Horror's targets were young girls who had either ended up dead or were later located before death. The lucky ones had no memory of what happened but the theme was the same young girls." Eclipse began as Ruby heard this.

"So the Horror is hunting young girls?" Ruby asked as Eclipse looked.

"Yes but it seems these girls served a bigger purpose to the perspective of the Horror." Eclipse said as Ruby looked.

"Ok so these passes are keyways to the Horror's den and given to the upper class." Ruby said as her mind began to link the connections. "Those girls are being used as slaves for the Horror for connections." Ruby said realizing where this was going.

"Yes if I had to guess the Horror is trying to pretend to be a human and if it's not it's probably under the belief of itself being human in its prime." Eclipse said as Ruby realized where this was heading.

"In other words the Horror has been doing stuff like this even before it became a Horror." Ruby began to realize as Ollette heard this.

"Wait." Ollette said as she pulled up news stories before the order was given and saw a serial rapist/killer was doing stuff similar to this as she saw this. Ollette then pulled up the image of the suspect of the case and saw exactly who it was as she then saw this man had to be there target. "I think I have our Horror." Ollette said as Ruby looked to her friends.

"We need to regroup with Aron and Silva see if our information matches up, then once we have enough we decide how we're going to go about infiltration." Eclipse said as she looked to her partner as Ruby understood.

"Right." Ruby said as she and Ollette then made their way to where they would meet up with Aron.

(Later that evening)

The group gathered at an alley as Aron looked to them as they relayed what they were able to learn. "As it stands we have two ways of entry, we go in like patrons and hit them fast and hard." Ollette said as she looked to them. "Or we go in using the pass and sneak our way to the Horror's nest." Ollette said as she looked to them. "But we only have two passes so I think we may have to try something else." Ollette said as Ruby then spoke up.

"Or we can try both." Ruby said as Aron looked to her.

"You have a plan?" Aron asked as Ruby nodded.

"Basically you two are the oldest here so you can easily pass off as an adult and his secretary once we do that I can use one of Ollette' Madou Tools to sneak in and make my way to the Horror once I do that I can give you guys a signal and you can meet up with me." Ruby said as Eclipse chuckled a bit.

"Seems your learning fast Flower Girl." Eclipse joked as the lazy Madou Ring felt something was wrong. 'Almost too fast.' Eclipse thought as she hoped she was just over thinking it but very few Makai Knights have been a prodigy and not turned dark.

"Ok that sounds like it can work but we need a backup in case things go south." Aron said as Silva chuckled.

"Skip such formalities Zero we all know how you are with a Plan B and your Plan B is normally think as you go." Silva said as Aron glared at his Madou Amulet.

"Touché." Aron said as this caused Silva to chuckle to Aron.

"Ok we all know the plan lets suit up and get our disguises ready we can't afford to waste time and allow this Horror to roam longer to consume more." Ollette said as everyone agreed to this.

(Scene Break Pleasures of Kings Access point)

As the guards were standing by, soon enough Aron wearing a disguise to look like a human business man, while Ollette was wearing a dress with an open cut at the shirt to show some legs.

As the two walk up to the guards/bouncers they look at the two as one held up a hand and said, "Do you two have an invitation?"

Aron reach into an inner pocket and pull out the passes and show them to the guards, as they took them and look at them as the guy said, "Any reason coming out tonight?"

"A Mix of business… and some pleasure," Ollette said in a sexy tone, putting it on for her act as the guards look at her as Aron title his head to her and said, "She a bit of a swinger to both sides."

The guard hand back the tickets as he said, "Alright then, just walk on through."

They nodded as they walk pass, and up to the door which looks like almost a back alleyway door as Aron put his hand on the handle, the edges of the door glow for a moment before Aron open it and was greeted to the site of a hallway.

They walk in casually, and let the door slowly closes Ollette madou brush came down her dress through the open part of it as Ollette grab it and pointed it at the door and have an open pathway for ruby to get through, as the Makai priestess shot a spell at it and soon glow before shutting all the way.

"Did you hit it?" Aron said as Ollette smile and said, "Yea, a pathway with Ruby will open, as long she keep a copy pass with her, it should be easy enough for her to pass through."

(With Ruby)

Setting out from a shadowy area, Ruby now dress in her new outfit for the mission, as it seem to be a tight red leather outfit, with white fury around the collar, with her breast showing as they were being push up by the outfit itself, as she wears a red mask that had Fangs on it and long point ear like horns, and has a medium size fluffy tail as she is almost looking like she in her Yaiba armor that is made of leather and more S&M style too.

Ruby look down at herself as she give a small frown and said, "This isn't my idea of style to sneak in a place."

"Do you prefer a black wool outfit and a simple raccoon mask or something?" Eclipse said in a small joking manner as she just describe a robber outfit as Ruby said, "Well something other than this…"

Ruby put her hand at her chest and push against as her size were a B cup borderline C cup but it feel a bit much for her as Eclipse said to her, "Nothing to do now, but hey look on the positive side of this."

"What's that?" Ruby asked as the madou ring said, "The color matches your theme."

Ruby raised her hand to argue but found she had none since it matched both her color and her armors wolf them. "Good point." Ruby said as she made her way through.

"Just remember next time you can ask Ollette to make you one more appropriate to your tastes." Eclipse commented as Ruby got to the entry way Ollette left and entered the vent area of the place.

"Yeah I got it. Let's do some sneaking around then Robber style." Ruby said as Eclipse groaned a bit.

"It seems that in your family the art making bad puns the apple doesn't fall far from the tree." Eclipse said as Ruby rolled her eyes.

"Oh everyone's a critic." Ruby said as she was crawling through the vents.

(With Aron and Ollette)

Aron was holding a drink in his hand as he asked for plain water and got it. As he stood there he saw the other business folks talk amongst themselves as he made himself look natural. Aron was trying to keep up with what these guys were saying as their discussion about Faunus equal pay and such was the only thing he caught so far in this entire discussion. "Care to chime in?" One asked as Aron took a sip of his drink before speaking.

"Well I wasn't paying much attention until the article of Faunus Equal pay came up. I won't deny some shady groups tend to claim they give Faunus equal pay as everyone else but I find a lot of times it's only a slither of the truth. Just ask my legal department I've had certain branches try and weasel this through me enough times I've gotten sick of it." He said as he imitated a rich douche perfectly. "I learn they give said Faunus minimum wage and no matter how long they work, they never get a promotion or higher pay especially in dangerous work situations." Aron said as the business guys were impressed while a few gulped a bit.

"I see you seem to have an eye for that sort of thing." One said as Aron smirked a bit.

"I heard you brought your secretary along though I hear she's more of a VP then anything with her subordinates." He said as Aron chuckled.

"No she's a coalition of mine we work with two separate companies but she's quiet the cougar with the money to hide it." Aron lied as he knew Ollette might kill him for that comment. "So where is the evening entertainment anyway?" Aron asked as he looked around for the mentioned 'entertainment.'

"The king of this place is probably still gathering them for the entrance just be a bit patient or if you lose that find one of the servants here and take her from behind at the desk." The man said taking his wine as Aron sighed.

"Yeah... I'll wait." Aron said as he took a sip of his drink. Plus he had no idea where most of these girls had been and rather not risk it cover be damned. And that's assuming he would even consider anything like that. "I'll go find a refill." Aron said taking his leave of these men as he went to the bar area where Ollette was drinking some vine champagne as Aron joined her served with beer which Ollette purified of any Horror lobotomy in a cup.

"Well how goes it?" Ollette asked as she sat there.

"I hate them all." Aron said as Ollette chuckled a bit.

"I figured you would though it's ironic you have the hot's for Ms. Schnee who comes from the same class of society these men appear to the public eye." Ollette said as she enjoyed her drink.

"Heh don't patronize me I don't know she's just different you know and this is from the guy who's met her younger shit stain of a brother." Aron said as he drank his beverage. "So think Ruby can pull it off?" Aron asked as Ollette shrugged.

"If she can or can't it would be the end of it for now we just need to hope she can pull it off." Ollette said as she looked to the Makai Knight.

"Heads up Zero." Silva began as Aron looked. "I smell a Horror." Silva said as Aron looked around discretely.

"Where?" Aron asked as he looked about.

"It's hard to pinpoint as the scent is pervasive. We best leave this part to Yaiba and Eclipse." Silva said as she knew how good Eclipse was with her job when she accompanied Yaiba.

"Hopefully your right." Aron said as soon the lights dimmed as Aron rolled his eyes. "And the show starts." Aron said as Ollette smiled a bit.

"Don't waste too much Lien on them 'dear,' we still have to head home." Ollette teased as Aron glared at her.

"Shut up." Aron said as he can name a few students particularly Team CRDL who would kill to be here as the 'entertainment,' arrived which got the men and a few ladies in the crowd riled up.

(Meanwhile back Ruby and Eclipse)

The two exited the vent after Ruby used a Madou Tool to open them silently but cutting them open as Ruby then snuck out of the vent and jumped down making sure her steps were silent. "Careful Flower Girl *Yawn* the Horror surely wouldn't leave its throne unattended nor would the Horror leave its fortress unguarded or its meat kitchen untended to." Eclipse said as this was an infiltration mission/lesson for Ruby to master.

"Great thanks for the heads up." Ruby said as she already knew she had to be careful.

"Hopefully Navi is not in my future." Eclipse said with a yawn as she was clearly still as lazy as ever.

"Bum." Ruby silently teased as she knew Eclipse was on the case as even when Eclipse sleeps she was always on point with Horrors and Grimm.

"Oi Flower Girl hide quickly!" Eclipse called out as Ruby did as told and hid as when she did she saw what looked like a demon Knight walk by dragged about a blood covered sword as the blood was clearly dried.

"What the?" Ruby silently said as she saw the creature with its glowing red eyes as she went wide eyed.

"A Horror Flower Girl I told you Horrors like this never leave things unattended it must be performing rounds." Eclipse said as Ruby looked to it.

"If I can take these guards down silently I can get to the Horror and clear a path." Ruby said as she took notice to this place having a red theme to it.

"Good idea but remember silent but deadly like Blake in battle." Eclipse said as Ruby nodded.

"Ok Blake maneuver got it." Ruby said as she then got ready. Once the Horror was passed Ruby extended her weapon and sliced through the Horror's neck causing it to turn to dust as the head fell to the ground and was sealed into her weapon.

"Also word of warning don't kill off to many otherwise the Horror will probably become suspicious." Eclipse said as Ruby nodded.

"You got it Eclipse." Ruby said as she knew the plan now.

(With Aron and Ollette)

Aron kept his lien to himself as he saw girls spin around on poles either in a daze like they were drugged, or showing clear signs as Horror or a Horror's familiars as Ollette smiled at one taunting her with Lien to make the stripper 'work,' for it. "How goes Ruby?" Aron asked as he sat next to Ollette acting casual with her.

"So far she met some trouble seems the Horror left guards about." Ollette silently said making sure they weren't being listened in on as she had a map on her pocket mirror to monitor Ruby's progress. She should be arriving at the locations we need her to mark with those seals soon." Ollette said as Aron nodded to her.

"Ok then we may need to blend in deeper." Aron said as Ollette smirked.

"On it." Ollette said almost instantly as she had already figured out which lady was Horror and which wasn't. "Over here baby." Ollette said sliding the lien between a gorgeous woman's top, thong, and stockings as the woman got the message. "Let's go over there." Ollette said as Aron saw her as he was wide eyed by this action.

"Is she... actually?" Aron asked as he remembered her cover.

"I was smelling lust from her... now we know why." Silva said as it was clear now Ollette really did play for both teams.

(Back with Ruby and Eclipse)

The two had arrived at a location labeled 'Kitchen,' as Ruby snuck in carefully after hiding behind very sexual looking furniture. Ruby used a kitchen cart to enter before jumping to another spot to hide. 'Heh I'm getting good at this.' Ruby thought to herself as she looked for where they kept the 'food,' and behold as she saw a cage with many girls young and middle aged as it seems they were each abducted by the man. But Ruby noted they were all young girls who should be in high school. Ruby then saw what looked like a spot to skin the meat mixed with a furnace shoot and saw Horror's familiars dump school uniforms into the shoot.

"Oh my god." Ruby silently gasped at what she was seeing as these uniforms all came from a school she was well aware of. After all she had attended that particular school before Signal Academy.

"Yes Ruby it seems your old school had housed a Horror." Eclipse said silently as she had a hunch as to who it was. "Hurry and set the tag and leave fast." Eclipse urged as Ruby understood and went to do as she needed. Ruby fist acted by taking the 'to eat,' list which was the menu of the evening for the Horror. She took it and made sure it burned as to buy these girls more time. Once she was done Ruby snuck through the shadows and slapped a seal onto the cage area and saw it glow as it waited for the needed result.

"Ok we got the seal spot not start making your way to the Horror's den it may be preparing to feed now." Eclipse said as Ruby understood.

"Got it." Ruby said as she used her semblance to dash out and back to the shadows as she began setting the tags for Aron and Ollette to get to her.

(With Aron and Ollette)

Ollette was enjoying herself as she was enjoying some wine from the ladies bare breasts as well as a bit of a lap dance as Ollette was enjoying herself as she then saw Aron who tapped his wrist where a watch would be. Ollette knew her fun was going to end now as she then sighed. "Here for your troubles and an excellent show." Ollette said as she handed more Lien as a tip to the stripper as she headed over to Aron.

"Ruby hit the spots needed and also cleared a path for us." Aron said as he looked to Ollette.

"So show time then huh?" Ollette asked as Aron nodded.

"Yeah let's move." Aron said as he began to make his way with Ollette to a restroom to enter the Horrors castle.

(Later at the Den)

Ruby arrived at her destination as she entered the area and looked around from the entrance and saw it seemed clear. Ruby began entering what looked like a throne room minus the actual throne as she entered and made her way to where she knew the Horror was.

"Go, go! Let's go! Shi-Ro-Gane!" Came a mysterious voice or voices as Ruby recognized all of them as her teammates and herself as it sounded like they were doing a cheer of sorts.

Soon the Horror was heard as Ruby saw a Huntsman weapon flung at her as she quickly back flipped and used her Crescent Yaiba Rose and used the scythe to deflect the attack. Ruby looked with a glare and was shocked when she saw Team RWBY in Bikini type outfits with Blake as a cat girl, Yang as a sexy Dragon Maid, Weiss as a slutty princess, and Ruby herself as her 14 year old self in an elementary school girl outfit. All of which the girls surrounded the Horror like they were his own personal sex slave harem.

"I thought I smelled two Knights and a priestess." The Horror said as Ruby wanted to gag as the thing was dressed in speedos, a heart shaped cape, a crown, and was holding his huntsman weapon from his 'glory days.' "You made a huge mistake coming here girl now I'll make you mine before your two Makai Knight allies get here." The Horror growled as it grinned at Ruby who was getting major pedophile vibes from this creep.

"Yeah over my dead body!" Ruby yelled as the Horror laughed at Ruby.

"That can be arranged this is MY Castle so what I say goes!" The Horror roared out as Ruby was ready to fight.

"That pervert that's how he sees me and my teammates?! When did he even see Weiss and Blake!?" Ruby demanded as Eclipse sighed to Ruby's question.

"Now is not the time it seems the Horror has made Team RWBY its next target." Eclipse said with a small growl as it was clear it would not allow this Horror to do as it pleases with Ruby the last heiress of the title of The Scorching Heat Knight Yaiba.

Ruby look to the horror as it was hard to look at him but she put on a front and said to him, "If you smelled me and my friends, then you must have acted fast to Ambush us."

The horror looked at her close to the outfit she was wearing and said, "Ha-ha-ha, it more like made it easier to find you. I'll care of you myself and the other two real soon after this." Licking his lips and show his lust came forth and hunger as well as it seem he plan on more than just fight her and win it seems.

"Really then?" Suddenly Aron and Ollette came out of nowhere, ambushing the horror itself as Aron fire his guns with Ollette throw her Bayonets in one hand and fire one of her pistols in the other as all the bullets and knives came forth and strike at the horror as he block most it with his cape he wears but it seem to have hurt him somewhat.

"Damn it, how did you two get here so quickly, scratch that, how did you know to get here?" The strangely dress horror said as he is upset at this as Ollette held up her mirror showing a hologram print of his castle as he calls it as she said, "Easy to get a lay out sense you created this area, all the room and halls, even all the nooks and cracks too it was easy to find with Ruby leading the way as well."

The horror growls as Aron said, "Also nice on trying to ambush us when you smell us out… too bad it backfired on you as well."

"What?!" The Horror asked as Aron smirked.

"I'm a Faunus you sexually harassing D-Bag! I smelled you out long before you decided to ambush us!" Aron said as he spun his weapons in his hands. "In fact we've been on your trail for a while but the problem was getting the people you already nabbed out of here to safety." Aron called out as Ollette smirked.

"Plus we dealt with most of your 'crew,' on the way here so that only leads you and your fake Team RWBY Harem!" Ollette called out as Ruby glared at Ollette.

"Don't call them that they are NOT Team RWBY!" Ruby shouted as she hated that this sicko saw her team like that.

"Plus we even did a bit of a background check on you when we noticed the girls disappearing seem to be from a nearby school, turns out you're a closet sex offender!" Ollette yelled as she pointed an accusing Bayonet at the Horror. "Former Huntsman who crashes and burns ending his career and forced to become a School Teacher and not even a combat school teacher a simple teacher for and in your words 'snot nosed brats,' who most of which don't even want to become Huntsman!" Ollette called out as the Horror was shocked it was discovered. "You were under investigation as a sex offender until the charges were dropped when the victim and her family suddenly vanished only for the mother and daughter to be discovered later raped with the killing injury being some form of stab to the head and the father well cops vomited when they found him." Ollette said as Ruby was shocked to hear this.

"Damn you..." The Horror growled as it glared at the trio. "Damn you what did you do to my castle!?" The Horror roared realizing where this was going.

"On nothing much Mr. Pedophile Demon! Simply put we located your victims who were still alive and set them free, knocked out your patrons and sent them on their way home and taking out any Horrors while we were at it, and left you with nothing but you." Aron said as the Horror was shocked as it then began to laugh like a monster pushed into a corner.

"I see... you wish to topple my Kingdom." The Horror said bring the fake Team RWBY closer to him as it growled out. "Well if you want to do that you'll find that the demon who rules this world is no push over!" The Horror roared as energy formed around it. "No you will all DIE!" The Horror roared out as its form soon burst out as arms and chains grabbed the fake RWBY to which they happily allowed it (and making the real Ruby Gag) as the Horror began to enter its true form.

The Horror's true form stood above them all as Ruby looked shocked and honestly grossed out as it seems the Horror's form was an amalgamation of lust as the demonic form roared out as Ruby honestly wanted to vomit at the sight of it. "The Amalgamation of Lust Lilith-Thu-Sana this Horror doesn't have a set gender and tends to take those with much lust and hatred in their hearts it's very sturdy and is comprised of an amalgamation of lust. Its tongue can also be used as a weapon for its serrated and many weapons it utilize come from its own body. Be careful Flower Girl this Horror is very tiresome." Eclipse said giving an analyses of the Horror.

"Well this should be fun." Aron said spinning his guns so he was holding them in there melee form as the bayonets extended for better combat.

"At least the outside matches the inside." Ollette said as she then looked to Ruby. "Well Ruby ready to cut down a Horror?" Ollette asked as Ruby extended her weapon ready to cut down the Horror.

"You know it!" Ruby called out ready to fight.

"Ok let's do this." Aron called out as he held his weapons ready as did Ruby.

Ruby went first as she held her scythe by the pommel of the weapons shaft before she blade flipped outward as she then grinded the blade across the ground creating sparks. When she did she used the momentum she built up raising her blade skyward and cutting an energy circle which she then stabbed her weapon through releasing a light from the portal and from it her armor shot out as now Yaiba took the stage.

Yaiba spun her weapon around as she then slammed the blade down showing she was ready as the two large scarves with the rings on them were releasing some rose pedals due to Ruby's semblance.

Aron then followed as he cut two energy circle on either side of him and from them his armor shot out before he became Zero. Zero then spun his weapons around before taking a battle stance as he glared at the Horror in question. "Wait the girl she's the second Knight I smelt!?" The Horror roared in shock as Yaiba glared.

"That's right here stands the Scorching Heat Knight Yaiba!" Yaiba roared out as she grinded her wrist on the shaft of the Yaiba scythe.

"Don't, you underestimate me!" The Horror roared out as it was ready to fight as it sent an attack out from its mouth which was a fire ball.

"Here it comes!" Ollette called as the two Knights and one priestess as they acted and jumped out of the way just in time soon.

Soon the Horror sent out its tongue and head tendrils at the two Knights to which Yaiba and Zero blocked each and every attack. The Horror roared out using its claws and multiple arms to attack. Zero responded by slashing a few of those arms with his blades as he spun his swords around before tapping them on each other causing the arms to fall off as the Horror roared out in pain. Yaiba followed it up by getting up close and personal as she stabbed the blade into the Horror body before running upward and proceeded to use her armor to slice one of the Horror eyes causing it to roar in severe pain.

"Ruby!" Ollette called as she summoned forth a violet Madou flame as Yaiba saw what Ollette was doing.

"Right!" Yaiba called as Zero decided to join in on this burning hot plan.

Zero threw one of his blades at the Horror as he then pulled out his Madou Light lighting a blue flame and lighting his sword a flame just as the first sword stabbed into the Horror. "Damn you!" The Horror roared out in pain just before it felt its other arms and tongue restricted.

"No to fast you're staying put Mr. Pervert." Ollette teased as she held wires which were connected to the Horror restraining it. She then strummed them a bit as the Horror roared out in pain as its limbs were detached as with its tongue weapon which then Zero jumped in.

"I believe this is mine!" Zero called out pulling his blade out and grinding it upon the other causing both to be lit in a blue flame. "Take this!" Zero roared out as he sliced through the Horrors body causing it to be injured severely from the attack.

"Damn you! Damn you all!" The Horror roared in pain as Yaiba was ready to end this.

"Hey Horror!" Yaiba called out as the Horror's eyes looked to Yaiba as she was ready. "Eat this!" Yaiba roared out as she then charged at the Horror. "Your night ends here!" Yaiba roared out slicing through the Horror and in turn cutting it in half. When she did so the Horror roared in pain as its body was sliced right down the middle as it roared out.

"Damn you Makai Knight damn you all to hell!" The Horror roared in pain before its body vanished into black smoke and vanished into black dust.

"Yeah we did it!" Ruby called out after reverting with Aron as Ollette looked around.

"Not just yet, we need to get out of here fast before the realm collapses with us inside it." Ollette said as Aron nodded.

"Come on!" Aron called out as they made a break for it.

(Scene Break that night Beacon)

"Hey Rubes." Gold greeted as Ruby came back to her dorm in her normal outfit again.

"Oh hey Gold what's up?" Ruby asked as Gold smiled a bit.

"I hear you and your team are going to be investigating the White Fang tomorrow." Gold said as he smiled at Ruby.

"Yeah we are." Ruby responded as she smiled to Gold.

"Then I guess you don't mind us tagging along then after all with Kiba out there you're going to need some more Makai Knights." Gold said as he smirked at Ruby.

"But can you do it?" Ruby asked as she still remembered how badly hurt Gold got fighting Kiba.

"Don't worry I got this." Gold said as he smirked. "Plus I'm all healed up and ready for some action so we're going to investigate the White Fang." Gold said as he smirked at Ruby. "Plus your team already invited us so no use complaining now." Gold said as Ruby smiled.

"Should have guessed." Ruby said as Gold smirked.

"So see you for the investigation?" Gold asked as Ruby smiled to Gold.

"I'd love it." Ruby said as the two went their separate way.

(Meanwhile with KIBA and CEMN (Crimson))

KIBA with Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury were gathered as Nexus was holding a cup twirling the liquid inside it around smirking. "What was that earlier?" Cinder finally asked referring to how Nexus was flirting with Ruby.

"That's the thing Cinder I need not explain my plans to you, you merely need to obey my orders." Nexus said as Emerald stood back not wishing to antagonize this.

"Let me remind you, that you wouldn't even be here without Salem!" Cinder argued as Nexus glared at her before he grabbed her and shoved her to the wall and held her by her cheeks.

"And let me remind YOU Cinder that I was the one who took down that Hybrid that Salem lost control of, Darkus was its name if I'm not mistaken. Unlike you I earned my spot while you on the other hand just stole and leached off the strong like a little parasite." Nexus said before he knocked Cinder down as she was pushed to the floor. "So I suggest you pick your words carefully, otherwise we may end up short a Fall Maiden." Nexus said as a bone spike came from his palm as this spike was like that of the Grimm.

"Hehe." Akane smiled with a slight laugh as she saw Cinder get over powered by Nexus.

"Now do I make myself clear on the chain of command or do I need to be a bit more extreme with my methods?" Nexus threatened as Cinder looked down and away from Nexus from the floor.

"No..." Cinder said as Nexus glared at her with his eyes glowing red.

"No what?" Nexus said as Cinder gritted her teeth with how Nexus was trampling her pride.

"No... Sir." Cinder corrected herself as Nexus smirked before sitting on his chair where a chess set was placed as he moved the pieces accordingly.

"Good now head back to your dorm." Nexus said as Cinder, Mercury, and Emerald obeyed as Akane looked to Nexus once Cinder and her team was gone.

"I do need to ask why did you flirt with, her like that Nexus?" Akane asked as Nexus smiled to one of his most loyal as he smirked.

"Not now Akane... the wall has ears." Nexus said gesturing to Blaze who saw this and glared as Akane understood.

"I see very well then." Akane said as Nexus then moved his chess piece with a smirk.

"All according to plan." Nexus said as after the damage he caused Grimm activity should be increased from the fear people are producing.
