GARO Remnant Knight

ESKK: Hey new chapter for Garo Remnant Knight which I bet you all have been waiting for now here it is. And yes it's another filler so don't bash me for fillers. Now then please enjoy ok.

(Start Chapter)

Deep in the Bad Lands a familiar kneeling figure lifted its head as it was in an eternal Sand Storm as it looked up as it sensed something. This being had stood guard here to ensure Salem would not pass by it as this being acted as her prison guard and her shackles. The being looked up revealing Shiro the White Yaiba as it had sensed something, something both dark and light but oddly familiar. Like a memory from so long ago it looked to the distance where the rest of Remnant awaited as it knew deep down it was coming from there.

The being then lowered its head again as the storm grew closer to it before the figure vanished once more as it knew it was time to test someone again someone close to her heart and strong like her. "My little Gem... how long has it been since I saw you?" A voice asked as it no doubt wished to see someone who was named after a gem.

(Scene Break New Beacon Team GARO dorm room)

Anya was frantic as she was looking around her pillow for a missing book as she was freaking out. "Where is it where is it?" Anya asked before looking to Omiko who was reading said book right now as Anya was wide eyed at the title. "Um Omiko is that my book?" Anya asked as Omiko looked.

"Yes though I have to admit I didn't know you were into such art." Omiko said as Anya was wide eyed.

"It's NOT Art!" Anya called out as she knew what it was and it was smut and she didn't want anyone reading it or knowing she read it. "Don't worry Anya your secret is safe with me, but I might be inclined to inform your parents and brother of such reading material unless you do me one favor." Omiko said as Anya was wide eyed at this.

"You must... let me borrow this book from time to time and don't spoil it." Omiko said as Anya sighed in relief at not getting into trouble with her parents with that book. Yeah to find your own daughter was a closet pervert would be traumatizing to any parent.

"Well then enjoy the book then." Anya said as she went back to doing her normal stuff as she left the room to explore a little.

(With Gurren)

Gurren was shirtless as he looked himself over. The Markings from the Relic seemed to have vanished as Gurren focused on them which then caused them to reappear as he knew this was strange even for him. "Gurren staring at those markings isn't going to make what happened yesterday with the Relic vanish you need to consider grabbing the other three." Zaruba said as Gurren looked. "Don't get ahead of me, I think that the Relics may be a requirement if we wish to stop a war from coming." Zaruba said as whoever the person trying to grab Arka was they were no doubt powerful and since Gurren is the Brother of Light Reborn in his bloodline then Gurren is possibly one of the only humans who can control each of those Relics.

"Yeah but..." Gurren said as he looked at his hand.

"Gurren you are being faced with trials very few can understand but you need to stand tall and remember your team, your friends, and your family will always stand by you." Zaruba said as Gurren nodded.

"Thanks... Zaruba." Gurren said before putting his shirt and duster back on before he left the bathroom as he had been going through a lot lately.

When Gurren left his the bathroom and dorm room he began walking around as he was worried for things to come as he wondered if Kiba and the Umbra will strike during the Vytal Festival. He often wondered if he was simply here for some greater purpose but now he felt like he was losing sight of his future and path it honestly scared him to think his soul wasn't even his to begin with. It scared him and he wouldn't even admit it to his friends.

As Gurren walked though he saw that outside a window that it was starting to rain as he chuckled to himself as he was on his way to the cafeteria to grab some food seeing as he was hungry. As Gurren walked out he put his hand out and saw the water droplets land on it as he at times hated the rain but also enjoyed it as it was kind of confusing with him at times. Gurren then pulled up his hood and began walking away to grab some food as he was hungry and wanted to eat.

(With Rey)

Rey was working on a bit of a project in the workshops as nearby were the original blue prints for Myrtenaster his mother's old weapon as he was more focused on the revolvers part of it as he was working on his own prototype. He had learned his mother had her weapon made for her which she now took to constructing her own weapons. Rey decided to add a bit of a boost to the Ginroken as he was working on his weapons big time without tampering with the main design of his swords. As he worked Silva then made a sound as Rey looked to his Madou Amulet.

"You ok Silva?" Rey asked as Silva looked concerned.

"I'm honestly not sure Zero it just felt like something was off for a bit." Silva said as she looked to her partner. "It feels like something has arrived at the school." Silva said as she had never sensed anything like this before.

"Hmm strange we should probably investigate." Rey said as he got up but Silva stopped him.

"No Zero we can't I don't know how but it feels like it's not something for us to intervene in." Silva said as she knew about two teammates who had a stakes in this.

(Scene Break Cafeteria)

Gurren sitting at the normal table he and his team eat at but by himself at the moment as he getting a Spork (Spoon fork) Full of mix veggies as he was about to take a bite... but stop and put it down as he took a breath and rub his eyes a bit, as with everything on his mind was bothering him too much he could think of eating, even when his stomach is telling him its hungry.

"Hey!" Anya voice snap Gurren out of his thoughts as he look up to his little sister as she said, "You're hardly touching your food."

Gurren let out a breath through his nose before pick up his spork again and ate his food this time as Anya watch him eat, she never seen him act this way him being moody and not saying a thing, even what happen the other day got her worry about her own brother as she said, "Gurren, are you acting this way because I borrow your socks for a puppet show? Or are you stress out, as I can lend you my stress ball that I use when I feel upset."

Gurren stop eating for the moment as he look up at his sister and said in a calm tone, "What do you need Anya?"

"I want to know what's wrong with you Gurren, ever since the Breach you've been completely out of character. I mean sure your aloof and moody most of the time but not at this level. So just tell me what's going on!" Anya yelled as she put her hand on Gurren's shoulder only for him to grab it the hand by the wrist.

"Anya... you wouldn't understand." Gurren said as the words Ozpin had told him made him shocked, worried, and sacred. What if he was wrong and Gurren was the Dark Brother or the fact that his life from birth to now wasn't his to live just some means for the brothers to keep fighting each other till they end the other.

"Then let me try ok." Anya said as she looked to her brother with worry. "I haven't let you down yet have I?" Anya asked as Gurren then sighed in defeat when Anya gave him that worried look to him the kind of a little puppy that is worried for its master.

"Alright." Gurren said as he didn't want to reveal everything to her like this. "Anya... you and I had lived our lives believing our fates and destiny were to inherit the armors of Garo and Yaiba right?" Gurren asked as Anya nodded.

"Of course it's been like that since we both chose the path of Makai Knights." Anya said as she knew Yaiba thanks to her mother was now tied to her bloodline.

"Ok well what if you found out something recently that has near destroyed your entire perception of your life and yourself." Gurren said as Anya was worried. "That resting inside you is something powerful and primordial that it can help you achieve your destiny and ambition with just a flick of your hand." Gurren said as Anya was confused.

"I don't..." Anya admitted but Gurren then continued.

"But the possible price of using that power and the reason you were given that power makes you scared and terrified to even utilize it because you're worried that if you use it, you may not be able to control it or worse you may not even come out the same person anymore." Gurren said as Ozpin dropped that major bomb shell on him that he was basically some God who created Remnant Reborn. Gurren was scared and terrified that if he were to lose himself to that power or even use it he wouldn't be Gurren anymore.

"Gurren..." Anya said as she put her hand on his as she chose not to use her Semblance knowing this was a deep fear in Gurren that she didn't want to intrude on. "I know you, I know you better then yourself at times. The Gurren I know isn't a coward and whenever his fear is shown he stands tall and bury that fear to battle as one who protects." Anya said as she looked to her brother. "So what if everything you knew has come into question no matter what happens you'll always be Gurren you're my elder brother by at least 5 minutes which means in the presence of me your younger sister you can't be sacred of everything and even with your team you can't be scared either." Anya said as Gurren looked to her. "You are Gurren Seijima Rose the Golden Knight Garo and most of all you're my family so if you get scared I'll go down into that dark pit myself and drag you out kicking and screaming if I have to." Anya said as Gurren was surprised by this.

"Anya..." Gurren began before he smiled a bit. "Thanks." Gurren said as Anya returned the smile. That was when they heard a thunder strike as they looked outside and saw a storm going on as Gurren was confused.

"This isn't right there shouldn't be a storm today forecast said so." Anya said as Gurren pulled out the Garoken. "Whatever is causing it, isn't natural." Gurren said as he looked to Zaruba.

"I can agree with you there Gurren and trust me when I say that an old sparring partner of your parents seems to be showing herself again." Zaruba said as Eclipse then spoke.

"I guess she wants you two this time around." Eclipse said as she knew Ruby no doubt has picked up on it already. "This is becoming very tiresome for me." Eclipse said with a yawn as she knew they had to go face her.

(With Ruby)

Ruby was frantic as she had felt this familiar feeling again when she was doing some paper work and going through the ingredients she had ordered. Ruby knew this feeling anywhere as she had felt it when she and Sirius had undergone that assignment together and the very same time she had discovered her pregnancy. Anya knew who and what it was and she knew that the being was after her kids this time as she had to hurry. This may be her only chance to learn her mother's fate as her Uncle hasn't gotten the chance to tell her and only Ozpin really knows what had happened all those years ago.

"Please mom don't hurt them too much." Ruby said as she ran to the door hoping to beat her kids there.

(With Gurren and Anya)

Gurren and Anya arrived at the door just in time to see it slam open as the wind was powerful opting the two to shield themselves from the winds. But when they got close the storm formed a tunnel of sorts as if granting them access to the one who wishes to see them. "Should we Anya?" Gurren asked as the wind blew hard as if telling them to enter.

"Do we have a choice?" Anya said before Gurren shrugged and the two entered the tunnel.

(With Kite)

Kite saw the storm appear as he looked out his window and saw with his own Aura and was smirking. "So seems the Lingering Rose does exist." Kite said as he smirked at this. "Let's see how you two can deal with such a powerful force Golden Knight and Rose Princess." Kite said as he watched the two enter the storm to greet their opponent.

"The Lingering Rose shall judge the two of her bloodline and judge the red Reaper Knight for a great power." Icarus said as Kite smirked.

"Well then Rose Princess will you claim the power and in turn show us all what it is." Kite said with a smirk as he watched the battle was about to begin.

(With Gurren and Anya)

Coming to the end of the storm tunnel, they reach what seem to be the eye of the storm, and kneeling in the very center, the familiar looking armor with a white color to it, as the twins step forth before it as they look down and waited for something.

"Ruby my gem… and Sirius… I good to see you again," White Yaiba said as Both Anya and Gurren drew their weapon and prepare for any attack the ghostly knight would do, as their eyes glow silver showing they are ready to fight, as the white Yaiba sense the powers.

"Two eyes… silver eyes… Who are you...? Have we meet each other before...? You're not them… you're not them at all… why aren't you them? Ruby… is it you?

Gurren and Anya grip their weapon tightly as they saw the White Yaiba look up at them

Ruby… RUBY!"

The white Yaiba stood up and pull its scythe from the ground before spinning it around as white flower petals flew from white Yaiba float around.

SHIRO

Gurren and Anya summon forth their armor as light flash when the armor was don onto them red and golden petals flew from them.

*Insert Rage Awakened

Garo grinded the Garoken against his arm fin while Yaiba spun her scythe around before taking her own battle stance as the three Knights growled at each other. "Careful you two she's very powerful and won't hold back." Zaruba said as Eclipse followed.

"Yes one wrong step will mean your demise." Eclipse said as Shiro then charged forward as the two Knights quickly jumped out of the way but when they did Yaiba and Garo felt the force of a hurricane kick hit them as they were sent flying apart as Garo spun in the air and landed on his feet as his boots grinded on the ground creating a trail of dust.

Yaiba spun in the air to fix herself before she landed on her feet on a pillar before launching herself forward at Shiro as Shiro say Yaiba sailing at her to which the two began to have a battle between Scythe Weapons. The two swung their scythes around clashing blades as Shiro and Yaiba glared down at each other as no doubt Shiro was very much confused and maybe a little insane. Garo then charged forward with a roar as he slashed down at Shiro but Shiro vanished in a flurry of frozen Rose Petals and appeared behind the Golden Knight before grabbing Garo's head and slamming him to the ground.

Yaiba then came in as she slashed at Shiro as Shiro once again vanished as Yaiba quickly acted and ducked under an attack from Shiro from behind before spinning and slashing at Shiro. Shiro then roared as soon her Madou Horse came running in slamming into Yaiba as Yaiba tried to block the attack to the best of her abilities but this Madou Horse was pushing her back.

"GOUTEN!" Garo roared as he came riding in on Gouten and knocked the White Akatsuki away as Yaiba smiled before she joined Garo on his Madou Horse before they both charged at Shiro on Gouten's back. Shiro saw this and jumped in the air avoiding them as soon Shiro's Madou Horse ran in allowing Shiro to land on its back as she then gave chase to Garo and Yaiba who were both on Gouten.

"Anya split up and circle around!" Garo called as Yaiba nodded.

"Right!" She called as she stood up. "AKATSUKI!" Yaiba called out as Akatsuki ran up next to Gouten to which Yaiba then jumped onto Akatsuki's back and began to run around a large pillar.

Shiro saw this before she jumped off from her Madou Horse before her silver Eyes began to glow and make her own scythe into a large crescent as she then sliced downward cutting the entire mountain in two as Shiro ran through the two halves. As Shiro ran through she used her semblance which left a trail of white Flower Pedals in her wake as they quickly began to freeze as when Shiro came through Garo and Yaiba were riding on either side of her as they sent there weapons at her trying to fight but Shiro showed her skills as she blocked and parried each attack from both sides.

Shiro then jumped up avoiding an attack which only got the edge of her cape as she then did a tornado air kick and kicked both Garo and Yaiba off there Madou Horses causing the two horses to vanish as Garo quickly fixed his landing and landed on his feet as did Yaiba. As Garo held the Garoken ready he then went wide eyed as he felt a pain in his chest where the Relic had entered his body before as he felt it pulse for some reason and when it pulsed it caused him pain

Yaiba roared out as she charged at Shiro and slashed at her but Shiro was proving she was a powerful Scythe User. Though Yaiba swore there was something familiar with how Shiro used the scythe. As she slashed off the top of her head she only knew about two Scythe Masters in her life as finding a Scythe User was rare as anyone who attempts to try and use it end up hurting themselves or worse hence why the Scythe is considered one of the most dangerous weapons in the world. In fact if her memory serves only less than 2% of people can master the art hence why Yaiba hadn't had a user before her own mother and after the original Yaiba.

"You see it don't you Gold Flower?" Eclipse asked as Yaiba was knocked back and slid on the soles of her feet.

"Yeah the way she moves reminds me of mom and Gruncle Qrow." Yaiba said as she was the only one to call Qrow that simply because... she was just so adorable in Qrow's words, that and Grand Uncle Qrow was too long. (Gravity Falls bitches!)

"Yes and you did find a way to beat them both when you proved yourself a Scythe Master so using the same strategy shouldn't be any different." Eclipse said as Anya nodded.

"Gurren!" Yaiba called as Garo looked. "Leave the rest to me bro." Yaiba called as Garo looked for a minute before he felt the relic pulse inside him causing him pain again before he conceded.

Garo reverted to Gurren as he looked a bit worse for wear. "Alright I trust you sis." Gurren said as he sheathed the Garoken. "But if things get out of hand." Gurren began as Yaiba nodded.

"I know." Yaiba said as Shiro spun her scythe around much like how Qrow or Ruby would do before taking a battle stance. 'This is my ultimate test huh, facing against a true master without holding back. No it's the biggest test because you taught Gruncle Qrow a few nifty tricks with a scythe to teach mom... right, granny?' Anya thought as she got ready.

Shiro soon charged at Yaiba who simply stood there before she smirked. Yaiba then swung her Scythe from behind in a sort of shovel maneuver as this caused her to pick up dirt and to Anya's joy it got into Shiro's eyes causing her to be caught off guard and giving Yaiba the chance to hook her scythe onto Shiro's own Scythe before with a quick tug Shiro was disarmed.

Yaiba then used both scythes as a sort of oversized nunchakus as Yaiba then began to hit Shiro before duel wielding the two scythe and attack Shiro. Yaiba then ran torts Shiro and did a cross strike at Shiro's insignia as Shiro was wide eyed at this as Yaiba smirked. Gurren then ran over to Yaiba as she reverted to Anya as she smiled at their victory.

*End OST

The Shiro Scythe then shattered into ice shards which returned to Shiro and reformed in her hand. Shiro stabbed her weapon into the ground by the pommel and looked to Anya and Gurren.

"I know now where I had met you two before."

"Don't worry you two she won't fight anymore after all she now does is linger." Zaruba said as he remembered that fight so many years ago.

"Ruby was... you vessel for those months, she carried you both within. I understand... you two drew me torts you a familial bond."

Shiro raised her left arm to Anya as frost formed around it. "Very well I shall give you my gift perhaps it is a belated graduation present or early birthday present but a gift nonetheless."

Anya saw the frost go torts her and enter the Yaiba Scythe and herself as Anya was confused at this. Shiro then took up her kneeling position as she looked to the two one last time before lowering her head.

"Gurren... my Crimson Lotus Grandson... and Anya my granddaughter gem... we will meet one day and when that day comes it will be when I can finally set things right."

Soon the tunnel appeared behind them begetting them. "Now go you still have a path to walk before meeting me."

And with that the two nodded and left as they followed the path.

(Later at New Beacon)

The group arrived through the same way they entered as they did they saw the Storm had ended outside but they soon saw Ruby run in no doubt excreting her Semblance as the gate way closed. "Gurren! Anya are you two ok!" She called out as she ran and hugged her kids.

"Yeah... by the way mom." Anya began as she smiled at her mother. "Grandma Summer said hi." Anya said as she smiled at Ruby who saw this and began to tear up at this.

"Anya Gurren next time you see a tunnel of winds like that come get me first ok." Ruby said as she was getting a bit teary eyed at this before she hugged her kids close to her.

"Ok." Gurren said as he enjoyed moments like this and best part was the relic in his chest stopped pulsing.

(With Kite)

Kite smirked as he felt it, Gurren made it out of that fight though it was a shame he didn't defeat Shiro he did acknowledge Gurren's power. "Heh." Kite let out as Aphrodite looked.

"Hey Kite what's up?" Aphrodite said looking over any other things they can obtain from Vale and Atlas' wealthy.

"Just... happy." Kite said as he smirked. "Because if anyone is going to take down Gurren it's going to be me." Gurren said as Bethany looked.

"Oh so a rivalry between you two huh?" Bethany asked as Kite smirked.

"No clue... for some reason ever since I met him, it seems I can't avoid fighting him when I am given the chance." Kite said as he sat on his chair. "When I saw his eyes it was like I was looking at myself, strange isn't it." Kite admitted as Icarus looked.

"Dark Knight Kiba, Golden Knight Garo fates eternally linked, future unknown." Icarus said as it was something he could not see which was strange.

"Then I'll pave that future with my two hands." Kite said as he got up. "After all we still need to locate that little problem Salem is having in Vale." Kite said as he looked to the message from Salem herself.

"Let Team GARO Deal with it we should focus on our own plans." Bethany said as Uroboros agreed.

"Yes that would be acceptable here." Uroboros said as he looked to Kite from Void Gear and saw the blue prints on his table. "Hmm a new weapon Kite? By the looks of it seems you will be making multiple weapons merging into one interesting." Uroboros said as Kite smirked.

"Of course after all I intend to finish it before the Tournament begins." Kite said as Uroboros agreed to that thought.

(Scene Break Rey and Winter)

Rey was holding his ear after he got the ear full from Winter for two days straight as right now the two were sitting in a villa like area as Rey was enjoying some cream soda while Winter enjoyed a cup of tea. "I don't understand how you can stand such drinks." Winter said as she put the cup down as her nephew seems to lack the need to tea but preferred Soda.

"And I can't understand how you can stand those bitter black drinks or those over sweetened cups of brown." Rey said as he enjoyed his soda.

"Hmm Weiss was right you do take after your father though." Winter said as Rey enjoyed his drink.

"So then after the two days of lecturing me and new record by the way congrats, what did you want to talk about?" Rey asked as he enjoyed his cream soda.

"Well I wished to catch up Rey." Winter said as Rey nodded.

"Yeah well made some new friends still have the guitar hobby and still avoiding Remnant the Game." Rey said as Winter looked.

"Of course I shall confess me and your mother do tend to go overboard with it." Winter said as she remembered when it ended up one on one with her and Weiss before Rey pulled an ace after he let them go at each other's throats. "Though I do question how the White Fang was able to get so much of our Cargo but with some alarming things going on as of late it doesn't seem so surprising." Winter said as Rey nodded.

"Yeah...so you know about my um 'side job,' now huh?" Rey asked as Winter nodded.

"Yes I do and even after the lecture I must confess I am proud of you, fighting the battles no one else can." Winter said as Rey smiled at that. "But your Glyphs does give you an ace over the Horrors especially with some of the few you created yourself." Winter said as Rey smirked and leaned back while plopping his feet on the table.

"Yeah I'm that awesome." Rey said with a smirk as he bragged.

"And I still wonder where that cockiness comes from." Winter said as she looked. "So how is you're summoning Glyph working for you?" Winter said quickly deflating Rey.

"Well like always no improvements. I honestly don't know what's blocking it, I get the glyph out and not even a full five seconds a symbol is added and it shatters." Rey confessed as Winter looked.

"Hmm well your mother had a similar problem but not at this level." Winter said as it was like something inside Rey was trying to keep him from summoning because she saw him practice with it with Weiss and he should have at least summoned a Beowulf or something. "Perhaps it's more to do with Zero and your father." Winter said as that was the only reason she can think of.

"What?" Rey asked as Winter looked.

"Rey did your father have a Semblances that was hereditary?" Winter asked as she looked to Rey who was unsure.

"Not that I heard of, dad died before he could complete my training, and mom only taught me basic glyphs and stop after that as advance once are harder to do. I don't even think mom knows of dad's," Rey said as he took a drink of his cream soda.

Winter sighed and said, "This might be tricky." "Doesn't have to be, if you know who to ask," Silva spoken out loud as Winter is surprise and forgotten about the madou jewelry Makai knight wear after she was told about them from Weiss after her mission from the abandon military base, that more of a factory now, but this was the first time hearing from one, with Qrow's madou partner never said a word if he had one to her knowledge, let alone his partner, Cole from back then.

She still remembers that man very clearly, even the first time she meet him when he first stop her attack from killing Qrow, or maybe at least try to wound him.

"Oh Silva, I forgot you were with dad when he started his Makai knight training," Rey said as he held the chain up on his madou tool as Silva giggle a bit and said, "Not quite right, I was there when I was given to him when his training was done and he inherit Zero."

Winter took a breath and said, "Talking jewelry… a talking necklace is nothing to be surprise about. (Deep breath before letting it out) Silva was it?"

"That's who I am Miss Schnee, but you want to know about Zero's semblance correct?" Silva said as she knew what was going on and just skip to the point as winter nodded and said, "Yes, I wonder if you can help clear up what is wrong with Rey's semblance."

Silva blind and said, "Of course, if you guess that Zero's Semblance is of a hereditary origin, then you are correct."

"I see," Winter said as her mother once said to her, she was afraid of something like this could happen in the family of two bloodlines mixing together.

"So what does that mean for me," Rey ask as he put down his soda and looked at his Madou partner for answer as she says, "Nothing much to say, another than your two bloodline of Zero's and Schnee maybe counteracting each other in some way which could hinder your abilities to use your Schnee bloodline semblance of glyphs."

Winter clear her throat for a moment and said, "Now that we know there's another bloodline involved… could you tell us what the bloodline semblance of Zero is… please?"

"Of course, I am here to help to the best of my abilities wither it's 'Makai Orders' reports, knowledge of horrors and family history sense I been around long enough when I first came into the Zero line when it first started." Silva said and begin to tell Zero's bloodline. "Now then Zero's father Aron was the last of his bloodline if memory serves, his Semblance is a hereditary that allows one to summon forth Chains made of ones Aura." Silva said as she began her explanation. "It allowed him to perform many great feats and at times even use it to look into one's mind." Silva said remembering Aron. "But it wasn't restricted to grappling and such he was able to make it his greatest ace in the hole on many Horror Confrontations." Silva explained as she looked.

"Aura Chains I think I heard of Huntsmen and Huntresses having such a Semblance in the past before the reports of such thing just stopped." Winter said as she can see why Aron may have been the last one.

"Yes though there may be one or two left out there but it's just speculation on my part." Silva said as she looked. "Now the Summoning Glyph had been Rey's biggest block, all the other Glyphs he can utilize and master from gravity to time dilution but some of them he had great difficulty with if you all can remember." Silva said as Rey and Winter knew what she was talking about. "It's a rare occurrence if not unheard of for two Bloodline Semblances to mix together so there hasn't been much research as to what the end result could be." Silva said as Rey looked.

"Any theories?" Rey asked as Winter too was curios.

"There have been many theories popping up, one such theory is that one Semblance will stand dominant of the two which isn't what is happening here from a second glance if the Summoning Glyph is so difficult to use. Another theory is that the two semblances haven't had the chance to settle so to speak and once that is done a whole new hereditary Semblance could be born from it." Silva said as Rey went wide eyed.

"Wait so I can have a completely original Semblance that I'll be the first one to have." Rey asked excited as Winter cleared her throat.

"I sense a 'but,' coming on." Winter said as she drank her tea.

"Yes for the new Semblance to make itself known Rey would have to have practice with the Aura Chains in a major sense to get it up to par, once that is done then maybe the Summing Glyph may be mastered, but as I said it's simply a theory since we have no previous cases of this to fall back and research on." Silva said as Winter listened.

"So basically Rey is a walking anomaly." Winter said as she did feel proud of her nephew and how he wouldn't bend to her fathers will.

"Yes." Silva said as she sighed. "Rey's family on his father's side have been able to use the Aura Chains for generations even to one at Rey's age who never used it before they had used it unconsciously at one point or another as it is second nature to them much like how the Schnee's have been able to summon for generations but it won't come easily." Silva said as she looked.

"So it's like a muscle then." Winter said with a chuckle. "The more you practice with it, the stronger it becomes." Winter said as she summoned her own Glyph. "The only way we can move past this block Rey has hit then we must test the absolute limit of his abilities." Winter said as she had an idea.

"Hmm the only way to do that is with live training to push him past his limits to literally make Zero utile the Aura Chains." Silva said which brought a grin to Rey's face.

"You had me at live training." Rey said as he was down for it.

"Very well then let's get started." Winter said as she would be here for the time being.

(Later into the training)

Rey was surrounded by Winter's Summoned Grimm as he smirked and held the Zero Blades at the ready as he was going to enjoy this. "This is going to be fun." Rey said as he was hoping for some action.

"Remember Zero the focus for now is to have the Aura Chains in use so I will help you by gauging the adjustments you need to make with our form and such." Silva said as she looked to her partner as Rey smirked.

"Don't worry I got this." Rey said as he looked to Silva.

"Very well but these are powerful Grimm Winter has summoned strong enough to get the Aura Chains to have a reaction to the danger." Silva said as one such as Rey needed an edge with those chains.

"And remember, do not focus on your glyphs as that's your strong point, your chains are at the weakest, and don't summon forth your armor, these aren't' horrors," Silva said as she just making sure to cover Rey over things as he held out his swords and said, "Yea-yea, I know. Let's do this."

Winter got the signal from her nephew as she send forth the Beowolves as a warm up being the weakest creatures of her summons.

The Beowolves came in a small pack a they charged at Rey as he said, "Let's rock."

*Insert song (DMC) Rock queen: future in my hands

He charged at the Grimm summons and began to attack them cut some of them down quickly as he could, even dodge a claw swipe aimed at him.

Winter had a slight control over her summons attack and tell them when and where to attack, better than a normal Grimm could do as she wasn't going easy on her nephew.

Rey back flip away as a Beowolf rapidly slash its claws at him, as he went a little slow on his next back flip as he let the Beowolf get close as he shot up his foot and kick it's chin moved its head to look up before Rey landed on his feet before sprinting forward and slash through the Grimm summon with ease making it turn into white dust that vanish in the air soon after.

Winter smile to that as she slash the air a bit giving the signal to more of her Beowolves and some her small Nevermore to charge at Rey, try to make him sweat.

Rey saw more coming his way as he smile and went out them without care, as he got close, he jump in the air before kicking a summoned Grimm in its face to leap into the air and slash away some of the nevermore.

While coming down, Rey held his blade in a reverse grip before plugging it them into two Beowolves that was below him, before he pull out and cut through their head as one side of the Beowolves faces slide off with the summons themselves fall down to the other side of where their faces drop at.

Nevermore came circling around Rey as she quickly put together his swords as they stuck to each other, before throwing it in the air, making them spin around slicing through all the nevermore circling around him.

AS Rey held out his hand to grab his swords, a Beowolf leap in the air in-front of him and snatch his weapon before he could grab it.

As the Beowolf landed, its head drop down with its lower jaw breaking with a loud disturbing sound, due to the soul metal sword weighted down in its jaws, as Winter saw this and thought, 'His swords are that heavy? How could that be possible?'

Rey came leap over to the Beowolf that grab his weapons and kick its head off on the side to get its jaw off his swords, as they were kick in the air as well as Rey snatch them back as he said, "Bad dog, my swords are not a stick to fetch with."

Winter giggle at that as she saw how that fit so well with what Rey said, but wonder about his sword themselves as she know those are not the kind of weapon the Schnee would use so it would be his father's swords he inherited them from.

Rey spin the sword down onto the Beowolf head decapitating it before standing back up straight giving his sword another spin before splitting them apart. "Come on." Rey said as soon he heard a roar behind him and turned to see an Ursa. Rey smirked as he quickly jumped back as he slid on the soles of his feet on the ground before he charged forward. As Rey slashed at the Ursa he was personally enjoying this little training exercise. Rey then jumped up and got on the Ursa's back as the Ursa began to try and buck Rey off as Rey laughed. "Come on wow there!" Rey called as he was enjoying himself.

Rey wasn't blood thirst no he simply enjoyed the adrenaline rush when he fights as for him it was a healthy addiction when directed torts the right target. Rey then stabbed the two short swords into the Ursa's back before he twisted them and sliced it open as the Schnee Ursa vanished as Rey laughed. "Come on Auntie, show me something tougher!" Rey called as Winter chuckled.

"Rey the toughest Grimm I have available to me is well an old playmate from Atlas." Winter said as Rey smirked.

"Then bring it out, let's take on Cerberus!" Rey called out ready for a fight before he got sucker punched by that Gorilla Grimm as it sent him flying. "Shit!" He cursed as Rey would have used his Glyph to stop his soar but he needed to use the chains thus Rey ended up hitting a tree knocking it down.

"Zero!" Silva called as Rey looked.

"Did you get the number of that car? Or check if the driver is a hot babe?" Rey asked as he got up before shaking it off.

"You ok?" Silva asked as Rey looked.

"Yeah just gotta walk it off." Rey said as he looked. "Hmm a Gorilla huh, want a banana?" Rey asked as the Grimm roared and went after Rey. "I guess not!" Rey called before he slid under the large Grimm and sliced its lefts before he went for its back and finally slit its throat killing it. "So about Cerberus!" Rey called as he knew that Grimm migrates at random because it's a creature that does as it pleases. It was actually by chance the Winter had discovered its den.

"Hmm he's clearly enjoying a tough fight he doesn't even bother with proper form and such." Winter said to herself and chuckled. "I suppose he got that from his father." Winter said as she sighed. "Alright Rey you want a tough opponent you will get it." Winter said before she summoned a large Summoning Glyph.

"That's more like it." Rey said with a smirk on his face as the Cerberus Grimm made itself known as all three of its roared at its opponent.

"Zero even now you're still reckless." Silva said as Rey smiled.

"Yeah but that's where the fun comes in." Rey called as he was ready for a fight. The Cerberus charged at Rey as he held his swords ready and said, "Here boy!"

The Cerberus send its left head down at Rey as he jump away from it and again from the right head, as he was about to stab into the heads, the middle one came down at him faster than he would think as its teeth came down Rey jump away but barely.

When the head came down the impact force, blew Rey back, skidding on the ground before stopping a many yards away, as Rey recover and said, "Whoa, got to watch out for those head team up."

Winter watch Rey recover, but she knows he'll have trouble against her summon Cerberus, and to her it was harder to control, as the beast was quite powerful she had send wave after wave of her summons pin it and cut off two of its heads, but the middle one was its strongest, even took her all of her aura to take it down, and a dust charge grenade she took off of one of her fallen comrades to bring it down, and even as a summon its power is no joke, taking much of her concentration to get the beast to stay on course, even more so to pull its attack so she didn't kill her nephew by accident.

Rey stood up as the Cerberus stood still for the moment as Rey got back up on his feet and said, "Looks like I need to up my game a bit."

Rey cut two energy circle down below by his legs as armor encase them, he not using his full Zero armor so the timer has no effect on him, but still need to be careful as Silva said, "Be cautious, even its just part of your armor, the metal could still devour you."

"Well like they say, nothing ventured nothing gained," Rey said as he charged at the Cerberus this time at greater speeds with the armor legging supporting him, as long he not using he full power of Zero, he not taking the easy way out, just a small handicap that also a double edge sword.

The Cerberus charged as well as the two came at each other, the summon launch its attack first sending it its middle head first as Rey jump over it, the other two heads lead him to a pincer trap as they came at him he quickly did a split kick to their noses as they back off, but as Rey came onto its back area, He try to stab into its spine, it's the bone armor on its was tougher than a normal Grimm's, then soon enough its tail grab hold of him, and throw him off its back.

Winter saw was Rey was about to do, going for its spine, cutting of its movement, as tested everything has a brain and a spine to act as its conduit to move it body, her summons were no exception to this as if you damage the spine or cut it, its movement will cripple, but her Cerberus isn't going down that ease with a simple trick like that, even if it was a smart move to do, but Winter will be damn if she didn't push Rey to summon forth his chains, as he asked for this, he going to take it, one way or another.

Rey was skipped across the ground like a rock on a pond but recover in the air and let his legs slow him down before he could crash into the trees.

"It's back is too well protective, you need to find another weak spot," Silva said as she giving him some advice, but didn't analyze the Cerberus as its Rey who need to figure its own on his own.

"Got it," Rey said as he got back on his legs and rush at the Cerberus once again.

The Cerberus saw this as it then roared at Rey as this was a very powerful Grimm as it pounced at Rey who quickly slid under it before he sliced at its stomach causing it some pain as Rey was on the other side right in front of Winter's vantage point. "There's a weak spot!" Rey called as he saw how it reacted to that attack.

"Don't be cocky Zero that is a recipe for disaster." Silva scolded as Rey smirked.

Cerberus had hit a wall as it got up and glared at Rey as Rey looked at it with a smirk. "Come on lets go for a walk." Rey said as he clapped to it gesturing it like a dog. Cerberus roared out as it then charged at Rey who charged straight at it and jumped to its head before running down its back as he was winging it like he normally did. "And now." Rey began but Silva saw it first.

"ZERO!" Silva called in warning as Rey looked and saw Winter was about to get hit by her own summoning making Rey go wide eyed.

"Aunt Winter!" Rey called as he tried to run to her as Glyphs appeared at his feet to increase his speed. But as Rey ran he soon saw new Glyphs appear around him as he looked at them and to his shock they all were the symbol of Zero mixed with the Schnee Family Base Glyph as Silva saw this. Soon chains flew out of them all as Rey saw a Glyph on his own back where the chains exited and entered the Glyph. Each Glyph produced a different cooled bladed chain as they ranged from ice, fire, earth, even wind as they flew at the Cerberus and pulled at it hard as the Cerberus was knocked to the ground while Winter was drawing her sword to stop her own summoning.

The Cerberus tried to escape but the chains were thick as Rey roared out and charged straight at Cerberus before summoning his armor becoming Zero as the Chains produced by Rey and Zero kept Cerberus at bay. Rey then jumped up and stabbed its center head before spinning forward becoming more buzz saw like and sliced clean through the Summoned Grimm cutting it in two and causing it to vanish.

Zero then reverted to Rey as he was catching his breath as Winter was visibly impressed. As Winter walked over to Rey the youngest Schnee smiled before Rey bonked him on the head hard as Rey yelped. "You boob." Winter said as the Chains retracted into the Glyphs and the Glyph on Rey's back vanished.

"What was that for I got the chains out didn't, I?" Rey asked as he looked to his aunt.

"I counted about 3 missed strikes and 5 now 10 ways you could have died with that cocky attitude of yours." Winter scolded but before Rey could retort Winter hugged her young nephew. "But... you did become more then you were before and for that I am proud of you." Winter said as Rey smiled.

"Nah I'm still me." Rey said as he broke the hug and walked away a bit. "I, just got a little bit stronger was all." Rey said as he looked to where Cerberus had vanished. "But now let's try summoning!" Rey called as he created the summoning Glyph as Winter chuckled as she did a mental timer as the Glyph appeared and to her shock she swore she saw someone standing before the Glyph before it shattered after a full minute as Rey was shocked. "Oh come on again?!" Rey called as he was getting real sick of these failed summons.

"No Rey you did it flawlessly." Winter said as Silva then spoke.

"She's right Zero it seems now that you have the Aura Chains Zero itself is waiting till you are ready in his eyes before you can summon." Silva said as Rey looked.

"Alright." Rey said with a smile as he saw that this was now the easy part to come.

"Don't get cocky, though I will be in town for the Festival I need to tell you that your mother needs you back at Atlas for a little party soon." Winter said holding Weiss' most recent letter as she passed it to Rey with an invitation for a Schnee Charity event.

"Great... wait you said my mother not the old Schnee asshole." Rey said as Winter sighed at Rey's colorful language.

"Yeah in fact let's just say your grandfather is going to be having a retirement soon." Winter said as the tone she used showed that Rey's grandfather and Winter's father was going to be answering for a few things that has come to her attention as of late.

"Alright." Rey said with a smirk on his face as he had been waiting for this to happen.

"Yeah let's just say Rey Schnee is about to join a charity event in Atlas to raise funds for the damage of the recent Breach." Winter said as she knew Rey was waiting forever for this.

(Scene Break that night Ruby)

Ruby was looking over her catalogue of cakes and smiled as she found just the one. "Ah ha!" Ruby called out from her room as she saw it. It fit both Gurren and Anya perfectly who were no doubt sleeping after the recent events. "Ok now just need to beat dad in making it before he has a chance to get here." Ruby said as she went to carry out her new mission which was Operation Birthday.
