Chapter 18
''Your daughter my lord?'' asked Vert.
''Yes, my daughter, no you may not ask Malicious, but I know its her, my creation, I must aquire her'' stated Fel.
''She's with Dragons Order'' stated Lucia, before growling out ''and she seems to have her eye on my man''
''Then capture him and use him as bait or anything, I want her and I will have her do you understand Lucia?'' asked Fel.
''Yes, my lord'' said Lucia bowing to Fel.
''I'm going to give Salem control back now, I need everyone to have knowledge a certain subject'' said Fel.
''The Relics'' said Vert ''it's fine my lord Malicious has told me all I need to know about them''
''Very, well then, I will give back control and you may explain'' stated Fel, before closing Salem's eyes, when they reopened they revealed Salem's eyes.
''Tell me of the Relics'' she ordered.
''Of course my lady, now we need a Maiden to open all of there Vaults, we have the Fall Maidens powers, but we don't have a Maiden, I'm thinking of Kidnapping one, a little girl, they're always fun to kidnap'' grinned Vert, before coughing and shaking his head.
''Are you alright Vert?'' asked Salem.
''Yes milady, it's just the madness I'm fine, just struggling to control it'' said Vert ''anyhow a Maiden can unlock the Vaults to allow us access, but then we get to the difficult part''
''Difficult part?'' asked Monarch.
''Yes, for you see the Brother of life gave the Relics a little… gimmick shall we say, they can only be activated and wielded by the Dragons, specifically the Dragons that inherit Dragons Order'' explained Vert ''Choice for Lyn, Knowledge for Merlin, Creation for Bārūban and Destruction for Tyrant, Overlord can wield them all though, most likely because he's the leader''
''So, basically our best bet is useless to us'' growled Adler.
''Not necessarily Adler, no, you know me, I am good with this, I'm sure once we get them I can work something out'' stated Vert.
''Excellent Vert, now Monarch I will have Watts prepare a new arm for you, after that you are to accompany Tyrian and Stag'' stated Salem.
''Understood my lady'' said Monarch.
''Lucia, you will start a hunt for Jaune Arc, Fel wants him to lure his daughter and I think I want him, for different purposes, you said so yourself Vert, Overlord can wield them all so what if we twist him to our side?'' asked Salem.
''Hmm, it certainly would be easier'' smiled Vert.
''An excellent plan Salem'' commented Fel.
''I will begin the search with great pleasure'' grinned Lucia.
''Adler, I believe you need a brother sister reunion'' said Salem, hinting at what she was getting at only for Adler to snarl ''and finally Kasumi, Watts has been waiting for you''
''Of course Ma'am'' grinned Kasumi.
''Hmm'' mused Vespa.
''What are you going to mock me again?'' asked Salem.
''No Salem, I think I've been a bit of bitch. How about I make it up to you'' said Vespa.
''How do you intend to do that?'' asked Salem.
''I'll handle the situation with your cowardly lion shall we call him, I think, I have a method, a method to make him loyal no matter what'' smirked Vespa.
''I'm listening'' smirked Salem enthused.
-LINE BREAK-
Watts lead Vespa through the halls of Haven, the Queen of the Colony strode behind him with a sense of superiority, Kasumi stood next to Watts, as they strode down the halls, Kasumi quickly pulled the door open and the three of them strode in, Lionheart tensed a little as he saw Watts, Kasumi and Vespa were unknown elements to him, so he didn't know if he should be more worried or if he should take pity on them, if they were in the same situation as him, instantly though Vespa sat on his desk.
''Lionheart?'' asked the Woman giving off the same Aura as Salem.
''Y-yes'' Lionheart gulped.
''Pleasure, Queen Vespa of the Colony'' stated Vespa.
''Which I will admit, I am still curious about'' stated Watts.
''No experimentation on my children'' growled Vespa, Watts simply put his hands up in a matter of defense.
''Just stating curiosity'' said Watts.
Vespa raised a brow to Watts in distrust ''well, I am hear to ensure your loyalty to our cause'' stated Vespa.
Lionheart stuttered out ''Of course I am loy-'' all of a sudden Vespa jammed her hand into Lionhearts mouth.
''Fake. Empty. Promises, I hate it when people give me Fake. Empty. Promises.'' Growled Vespa puling her hand out of Lionhearts mouth, he started to choke and then collapsed to the floor, Vespa then stomped upon his hand with her high heel.
''Your doing something to him aren't you?'' asked Kasumi.
''Yes, I infested him'' stated Vespa.
''Infested him? What do you mean when you say you infested him?'' asked Watts ''that would suggest… you put insects into his body didn't you''
''My body is full of insects'' stated Vespa ''all of them under my command, under my command they will start to feed and then, then your fully useful to be used for… breeding''
''Interesting how will you use him for breeding?'' asked Watts.
''oh, I'll lay and egg in his rotting corps and then when the egg hatches, the little one has something to eat'' cooed Vespa, Lionheart sweated at that and gulped ''now, I assume your loyal are you?''
''Yes Ma'am'' gulped Lionheart.
-LINE BREAK-
Dragons Order had set sail and was headed for Mengerie, they were going at a steady pace and were possibly going to reach Mengerie by the next day, it was sort of awkward as the group hadn't spoken since yesterday, Ciym and Arsha had gathered up a group of Florus, it was a rather small group, it consisted of Cecilia and Martina, they had left Mia in charge of the rest of the Florus, from there they had taken a few children, a few civilians and a few of the elders, they were planning on leaving Cecilia and Martina in charge from there with any Faunus representative or the mayor of Menagerie, they would handle things from there, they fully knew how and were more than smart enough to know how to deal with things from there.
Currently they were just drifting at sea; everyone was just sitting in the main hall of the bar, the group of little girls, where all sitting together, Pyrrha and Clair were reading comic books, Vivian was preparing more arrows and Zara was just cuddling up with Kole on the couch, which he didn't mind.
''What comics are you reading?'' asked Jaune.
''Teen Titans'' replied Clair.
''We've read these ones a few times, but we love them that much that we keep reading them'' said Pyrrha excitedly.
''Hmm, maybe we should look for some Teen Titan comics, in the future'' said Jaune.
''Yeah'' said Altair, it was kind of an awkward exchange, they hadn't really spoke to one another in a friendly way since Jaune had punched Altair, Jaune wanted to fix that now, but just as he was about to ask for a meeting he saw Thane nailing up a Sign ''what are you doing?''
''What, if he's allowed to ban rock and roll, I say I am allowed to ban something I hate'' stated Thane.
''Wait, you want to ban Cookies?'' asked Jaune, Thane let out a scream when he said this and ran to the bar, which he quickly ducked under, getting into fetal position and rocking back and forth, Vivian put down her bow and arrows and went to give Thane a cuddle to make him feel better.
''This team is fu-fudgeing weird'' said Kole catching himself before he swore in front of Zara.
''Don't judge, those things are Evil!'' said Vivian.
''Wow, usually kids love cookies'' whispered Altair to Kiran.
''Oh, is that a fact?'' asked Kiran.
''I guess'' shrugged Jaune ''guys, Ciym can we talk in private?''
The members of Dragons Order all looked at one another and nodded, Jaune lead them to his room, he felt that was probably a good place where they could talk in private.
''Look, I don't know if this is the right moment or not, but I want to say, that I'm sorry, I was an ass and I was acting rashly and selfishly thinking about nothing but my pain, I'm sorry guys and if you don't want me to lead anymore I understand'' said Jaune.
''Jaune that's not it'' said Altair ''we understand and we still want you as our leader, you've lead us this far and were still doing well so were not changing your leadership position, we understand how you feel and I think if any of us were in your position we'd act rather similarly''
''I know, I defiantly would'' said Kole.
''Me too'' said Thane.
''And if I found someone who had done what they had done to Vale to Valhalla'' stated Kiran.
''Thank's guys, Ciym and Altair I'm especially sorry to both of you, you are my friend Altair I shouldn't have said any differently, in fact your pretty much my best friend and I'm sorry I hit you both and if you want to hit me, go ahead I will take it gladly'' said Jaune.
''No I couldn't Jaune, I'm just glad your back to being you'' said Ciym.
''I'll hit you'' said Altair pulling his arm back and throwing his arm forwards ready to punch Jaune, Jaune closed his eyes ready to be punched, he closed his eyes ready for the punch, but it didn't come, Jaune opened his eyes only for Altair to flick him in the forehead.
''heh, you seriously thought I would do it? I can't hit you Jaune it's like you said, you're my best friend'' said Altair ''but if I get frustrated I might slug you''
''Fair enough'' said Jaune shrugging.
-LINE BREAK-
Later that night when all was quite and dark in the bar and the girls were sure the grown ups were asleep, they met together in the hall "remember we need to speak in codes to make sure they don't find out" said Pyrrha.
"Hmm" nodded Clair and Zara.
"Of course" said Vivian.
"We've completed the first part of the mission" stated Pyrrha "finding our XY's and XX's"
"Not all of us have" stated Vivian.
"Oh right, sorry Viv, but we will find your XX soon" said Pyrrha.
"What's next?" asked Zara.
"We need to make them stronger" stated Clair.
"That's what we're doing now, we're going to the place where they can train and get stronger" said Vivian "but I don't see why we can't go the long way to ensure we meet my m- XX"
"Viv, you need to be patient" said Pyrrha.
"I know" said Vivian.
They were going to talk a little bit more, but then the lights flashed on and all the members of Dragons Order walked out, both male and female and all of them had stern looks on there faces.
"What are you four doing up? It's way past your bedtime!" said Jaune sternly.
Before any of them could answer Zara started to cry and inspiration suddenly struck the girls.
"Zara has a nightmare and was going to U- Kole, we didn't want her to disturb Kole so we were comforting her" said Vivian quickly.
"Oh, it wouldn't have been a problem, I'm perfectly ok with her coming to me'' said Kole picking her up ''hey its ok, come on''
Kole picked Zara up, but then Zara reached for Arsha ''oh you want me to come too?'' asked Arsha, Zara nodded ''ok I don't have any problems with it if Kole doesn't''
''I don't, you can do it if you want to, that's all I'm saying'' said Kole with a slight blush on his face.
''Well, I do'' said Arasha, she was blushing too, they walked back to Kole's room, but just as the other members of Dragons Order were about to go back to there rooms, the girls they had asked each of the members they had bonded with to sleep with them, so Jaune and Ciym ended up sleeping together with Pyrrha, Altair and Kiran ended up taking Clair to bed and Thane ended up carry Vivian to bed with him, but she looked miserable as she looked at her friends, Thane had an idea why.
"You want a lady to come to bed with us too?" asked Thane, Vivian nodded and Thane sighed "I do too, but I just haven't found her yet, but I know she's still out there somewhere"
"She is, she is" said Vivian excitedly as Thane carried her to his room.
The other male members of Dragons Order carried there little girl to there room, the female members followed behind them, the girls snuggled up to them with a content smile on there faces.
Little did the girls know, they had heard everything and were determined to find out what XY and XX meant.
-LINE BREAK-
The next day Dragons Order had arrived in Menagerie, luckily even the nocturnal citizens were asleep as the Bar came to shore and parked down in a good spot, Jaune, Altair, Thane, Kole, Kiran, Ciym and Arsha got up they had agreed tonight they would approached Ghria Belladonna and ask if he could get them a press conference or something to unveil the Florus.
Jaune was slightly nervous, he was guessing these were Blake's parents, he wasn't sure of course they might just have the same last name, that's what he was hoping for anyways, he wasn't sure if he wanted to meet up with any of his old friends, but then again he wasn't really sure if he could call Blake a friend, she was an acquaintance at best, they never really talked much or interacted, so honestly they were acquaintances.
The group had no idea how they would or could convince the chief or his wife to hold a press conference for them, but they were hopeful, if not maybe they could draw a crowd or something, maybe put up some posters to announce something big, but they were mostly hoping for press conference, that way they could gather news casters as well, hopefully that would spread a more positive message of the Florus around all of Remnant.
The group that had went to ask were Jaune, Altair, Thane, Kole, Kiran and Ciym, Arsha had stayed behind, she wanted to unveil herself when they presented her, so she stayed behind and let the group of six go, but as they got close they could hear gunfire coming from the house, Thane stated the obvious ''that does not sound good''
Jaune immediately switched into leader mode ''Thane, Kole, Kiran, you three go up to the higher levels, help anyone in there, Altair, Ciym, you two are with me, were working up the lower levels lets go''
Thane, Kole and Kiran quickly got up to the top level, by using Thane's earth powers to raise themselves up to a higher level, they quickly jumped to the top floor where they saw a Faunus woman and a Faunus guard crouching behind an overturned table, the Faunus Guard got shot so the woman grabbed the gun and shot back.
The three then jumped through the window, Thane quickly drew out his sword and cut off the barrels to the guns, Kiran then shocked one of them and Kole punched the other in the throat causing him to drop to the ground.
The woman then sprang back up with the gun loaded ready to shoot, only to see the three members of Dragons Order, Thane quickly held his hands up, while the other two just looked indifferent at her.
''Whoa, whoa, whoa, friendly, friendly!'' cried Thane holding his hands up.
''Who are you?'' asked the woman holding the gun up ready.
''Were friendly alright, we were coming in this direction and heard the gun fire and came to help alright'' said Kiran ''I'm Kiran of the Valkyries, these are Thane and Kole''
''Hello ma'am'' said Thane.
''Sup'' said Kole.
''Well were not Faunus so were not with them'' said Kole simply ''listen ma'am, you need to trust us ok, I promise you can trust us ok, I promise''
''You're a Faunus'' said Kali pointing to Kole's dragon arm, Kole just looked down at it, shrugging he guessed it did kind of make him look like a Faunus, he'd probably have to explain it later, but the woman went on ''besides why should I trust you''
''Well lets see, your home is being invaded, your severally under gunned and we just saved your ass, so yeah I guess you can probably see the reason why you need us'' said Kole.
''Alright, I guess I can trust you, I'm Kali Belladonna'' said Faunus woman.
''Ok, were hear to help you Kali'' said Thane, but just then another window broke, they all looked to see someone had jumped through that window, it was another Faunus, a wolf Faunus to be more specific, who quickly tackled Thane out of another window.
''THANE!'' cried Kole rushing to the window he was tackled out of, to check on him.
''I'm fine Kole, don't worry about me!'' Thane called back, but soon enough gun fire was heard.
''Ok'' Kole breathed ''Ma'am you need to stay behind us''
''What, about your friend?'' Kali asked.
''Thane can handle himself'' stated Kiran summoning her shield ''Kole take the front, Ms. Belladonna stay behind me''
Kali nodded, but then noticed the scroll and picked it up, seeing it was Blake, Kali then got on the line to speak with her daughter and started to speak on it ''Blake you need to get back quick, the house is under attack, by the White Fang… don't worry there are some people hear to help us… three of them, well one got tackled out of a window but the other two ensure me he's fine… yes… wait what about my husband Ghria?!''
''Don't worry, there are three more of us, our friends are going to help him'' stated Kiran.
-LINE BREAK-
Ghira Belladonna, was downstairs fighting the assault off, with a few of his guards, but it wasn't going so well, many of the guards were either unconscious, injured or dead, but just then three people jumped through the windows, two male humans and one female Faunus.
The first human who had blond hair, he was wearing white armor he wore a black hoodie and blue jeans as well as having a sword strapped to his hip, he was using hand to hand combat, mostly a defensive style, while getting some good hits in, mostly relying on single strong punches to knock each of them out.
The second human with black hair, he was wearing black cargo jeans and like him and that ruffian his daughter brought home, he wasn't wearing a shirt, he was just wearing a jacket exposing his muscular chest and abs, he wore black boots, he had a more offensive style of fighting as he punched a dog Faunus in the face, then grabbing him in a chokehold and continuing to punch him.
The Faunus woman, had two sets of horns, one set were small black horns on her forehead, the second set were antler horns sticking out of the sides of her head, like the blond one, she had weapons on her person but like the other two she was using hand to hand combat and was more relying upon a style where she blocked an attack to draw an attacker in and then kicked them.
''Beautiful'' said the blond one.
''Myself or my form?'' asked the Faunus.
''Both'' answered the blond.
''Hey you two, less flirting more fighting'' said the black haired one as he continued to punch the dog Faunus in the face and pushing him down to the ground.
They then turned to him ''Mr. Belladonna?'' asked Jaune.
''Yes'' said Ghira, cautiously.
''I'm Jaune, these are Altair and Ciym'' said the blond ''were hear to help you sir, alright listen were going to help you fight these people off''
''Alright'' said Ghira.
''Alright?'' asked Jaune ''now questioning why were helping or anything like that?''
''No, I need help hear and if you're able to help me I am not about to complain, I need help to protect my home and my wife'' said Ghria.
''Aww, that's sweet of you, the way you care for your wife enough just to trust us, wait deos that make sense'' said Ciym.
''Yeah, it does, it's kind of natural thing people do to protect people they love, I know I'd do it if positions were reversed'' said Jaune looking at Ciym.
''Yes, so sad it won't really help hear'' said a cold monotone voice.
The group turned to see two fox Faunus walking in wielding some kind of gold daggers as several White Fang grunts ran in behind them, Ghira let out a wild cat like snarl and ripped his shirt off ready to go, but Jaune quickly got in the way to stop him.
''Why are you stopping me?!'' he cried out in frustration.
''Sir you have a wife don't you?'' asked Jaune.
''Yes I do'' said Ghira.
''Go to her then, don't worry we've got this'' said Altair igniting his claws.
Ghira took a moment to look at the three of them seeing that they were willing and waiting to fight them and hold them off so all he could say was ''alright, but save some for me I've wanted to fill them in since the day we met'' Ghira nodded to Jaune, Altair and Ciym, who nodded back and Ghira rushing out to check on his wife.
''Now is you two against us three you're outmatched both in skill and firepower'' said Jaune drawing out Corcea Mors and igniting it.
''We shall see'' said Corsac.
''No, we won't'' grinned Ciym drawing out her duel axes.
††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††
This shall be concluded in the next chapter, I had planned to make this all one chapter, but then it eventually got too long, so I cut it.
