Cerise:
"What do you mean, you have a trump card left?" I asked, standing straight.
Ozpin gave an evil grin as he pressed the button on his chain.
"Yes, Ozpin?"
"Trinity, please call the Elders."
...
Kana
I spun around mid air, thrusting my lance into the heart of a Nevermore as I leaped off it, grabbing the tail of another.
"You Huntsmen just don't quit!"
Providence growled.
I smiled, an air horn sounding from the Beacon Leviathan.
"ATTENTION, MY BABY NIBLETS!"
We all stopped, even Providence, turning to the floating castle. On top rested only a few people, my eyes focusing on the girl with a megaphone.
"ESPECIALLY YOU, UGLY IN THE BLACK! YEAH YOU, GIANT GRIMM BITCH!"
My eyes tried to focus in the dark, on the figures so far away, but it was taking time.
"I'LL SAY THIS NOW. TO ANYONE GOING TO TOUCH OUR KIDS..."
No way...
"WE'LL BREAK THEIR LEGS!"
My eyes adjusted on my Mother, Nora, standing proudly beside her team. Jaune, Neptune, Sun, Coco, Weiss, Blake, Yang and Ruby all stood tall, weapons at the ready.
"You have got to be shitting me..." Providence groaned.
"Ren is back taking care of baby Opal, and Velvet is taking care of the café, but we're here!" She shouted.
Icarus let out a hoorah as Nora brought out her hammer, standing at the ready.
"LET'S FUCK SHIT UP!" Yang shouted. Leaping from the airship. Icarus flew underneath her as swarms of Nevermores chased after her, Yang landing with a thud.
The birds launched spiked feathers as Icarus weaves through, Yang shotgunning the wing off one of the grand Grimm.
Weiss leaped off, shooting off a glyph and stabbing into the head of a bird with her rapier.
She fell as Nora dived off, slamming into the giant black beast, exploding off of it and catching Weiss as she fell.
They both descended as Ava leaped up, using her magnetism on Nora's metal exosuit to slow their descent.
The orange haired mom slammed her hammer down, blowing up the rocks and sending Grimm through the air.
Weiss swiped her hand, sending Glyphs across the floating shrapnel. With a bright light, she shot forward, bouncing off the various runes and slicing apart the airborne Grimm into tiny shrapnels.
More Grimm flooded in, getting crushed by the falling rocks as Jupiter sprinted in, Blake landing on the top of an Ursa, her Gambol Shroud sheathed in its head.
They stood back to back, Blake ejecting the blade of her weapon and grabbing onto the fabric, Jupiter shooting out her claws.
They danced around each other as the blades swung around them, blurring into circular saws that tore into the ground unit Grimms with geysers of blood.
Neptune hit the ground with a roll, blasting the head off a Beowolf and folding it out into his laser sword staff. Jupiter pressed against his back with a tisk.
"I won't forgive you, but maybe after this we could get a coffee together." She said, reeling in her claws.
"Sounds lovely." Neptune said with a genuine smile, slashing apart a Redback.
...
Ava
I let out a cheer as Dad and Sun landed, the blonde monkey taking out his staff.
Jaune twirled his shortsword, moving it with the precision and expertise of a surgeon. The Ursa roared as it brought down its massive clawed paw, Jaune giving nothing more than a smirk. His sword spun in his hand as he leaped and flipped sideways over the incoming paw, slashing it off and kicking it in the jaw. He landed on one hand, spinning and cutting its foot away.
The Ursa began to fall, bringing its remaining paw down. He spun up, blocking it with his shield and sheathing his sword in its jaw.
A growl escaped from behind him as he kickflipped off the falling corpse, landing on the shoulders of another Ursa, slicing away at the back of its neck and beheading it. As it fell, two Beowolf sprinted forward, leaping into the air. Jaune leaped up, bringing both his feet up into the stomach of the left wolf,spinning and cutting the other in half. He landed on one foot, bouncing up and kicking his boot into the other, sending it into two more wolves.
Sun leaped over, sending his clones out as he spun his staff, ramming it into the chest of an Ursa. He took the staff apart mid twirl, shotgunning away the heart of the beast.
Two more bears roared behind him and he ducked under, spinning the nunchucks and knocking away one's legs. He twirled his weapon, blasting away the skull of the fallen Ursa and shooting off the incoming paw of the other, kneeing it in the chest as Jaune stepped up on Sun's bent over figure and leaped up, slicing the next attacker in two.
They pressed back to back, giving a grin.
"Let's see how well that old boring antique works out for you."
"Dude, you're like 40, put on a shirt."
"You're 40, too. Don't use the word 'dude."
Jaune shot forward, blocking the attack of a Beowolf and spinning around, his blade meeting the shoulder of the feral beast.
An Ursa growled from behind him as I shot forward, forcing my semblance to move his shield into the correct position. My sword sunk into the side of the Ursa, dropping it instantly as it bleed and fell back to dust.
"You remind me more of your mother every day." He smiled.
"Thank you." I said. I blocked the incoming claw of a Beowolf as it shot its head forward, my boot pressing into its mouth and forcing it to the floor. Dad interlocked our arms, bending down and bringing me up over him, my boots pressing into his bent knees and thrusting me into the air. He slashed into the Ursa in front of him as I folded my sniper out, blasting away its skull.
I landed, Jaune giving me a large thumbs up.
...
Kana:
"YEEEE-HAAAW!" Nora shouted, bouncing off airborne Nevermores by hitting them with her hammer.
"Don't forget about me!"
The voice came from down low as an explosion rang out, Auburn flying into the air. He landed on my controlled Nevermore, Nora giving him a giant hug.
"Oh, you've grown so much!"
"You know it!" He shouted, holding up his glowing hammer. Nora leaped off, orbiting the bird and its intense gravity, firing up into the air and landing her hammer on Providence's head. An explosion lit up the skull, a scream erupting through the hivemind.
Icarus flew overhead, Coco landing on the same bird as I did. She walked with swagger as she slapped my butt, adjusting her shades.
"Keep the Nevermore steady, 'Kay sweetie?" She said, her purse folding out to a gigantic Gatling gun. Light erupted from the barrel as she began firing it, a devilish smile crossing her face. Nevermores tore in half, literally, as her bullets blasted through the night sky.
...
Cerise:
"You cheeky bastard!"
Ozpin gave a laugh, letting out another blast of his Leviathan's giant guns.
...
Ava:
Blake leaped through the air, jumping on top of an Atlas mecha drone, her blade spinning around the drone as it shot flaming blue plasma. Black Fang soldiers rushed forward as Ruby spun her scythe, giving a giggle.
She hit the ground, firing her rifle. The bullet exploded out the barrel, clearing a clean path as it destroyed all Grimm in the way with its raw power.
Weiss thew up Glyphs in the air as Baron jumped on one, shooting through the air as his saws shot around him, tearing apart Grimm. He landed in Sun's arms, who there him back into the air. Baron spun around, his tail wrapping around a Nevermore's talons as it swooped over. Sun threw up his staff as Baron caught it, twirling it around his hanging figure, unfolding it into the nunchucks and blasting away at the Grimm on the ground.
The Nevermore Baron rode gave a large squawk, unleashing its feather storm. Weiss leaped up onto a rune, spinning the dial. Her rapier and spreading runes out before her. The feathers hit them, slowing to a halt. They bounced back, flipping in the air and stabbing into the flying birds.
...
I threw my lance, stabbing into a Nevermore. Nora gave the laugh of a maniac as she brought her hammer to the side of the corpse as she fell, hitting the stunned Nevermore into Providence's chest. Auburn followed suit, bringing his hammer down into the elbow of the beast, blasting it away on a spill of gore. The sword fell with its dismembered arm, crushing hundreds of Grimm.
...
Ava:
Jaune stood in the clearing beside me, rotating his wrist and spinning his sword.
Four Ursa charged, one an Ursa Major. He gave a chuckle as the first one sprinted in a tackle. He stepped on its head, flipping and cutting its head in two as he kicked out his feet, hitting the next in the shoulder. It pushed the Grimm's figure to the side as he continued his spin, stabbing his sword into its shoulder. He pulled himself around it and onto the shoulder, taking out the sword and stabbing into the back of its head.
I threw my sword into the final normal Ursa, the blade landing in its back. Jaune ran forward, stepping on the sword's hilt and jumping up, backflipping and kicking the Ursa Major's head up with a crunch. He landed on his hands, spinning and flipping, his sword slashing into its armored chest.
It brought its claws down as he absorbed the impact with his shield, flipping his sword downwards as slicing away at its tendon. As the arm fell useless, the creature fell to a knee. He grabbed its shoulder, stepping up onto its knee and throwing himself up into the air, slashing away at its spine as he fell.
It fell to the ground as I unsheathed my sword, jumping over it as slashing away at its face, moving on to the Death Stalker.
It shot forward its stinger, my Dad thrusting his sword into the air. The sword stabbed into the stinger, my hand raising. Using my semblance, I took control of the metal blade stabbed into it and launched it back, pinning it to the ground. Excalibur spun as I stabbed into its skull, the creature dropping with a twitch.
Sun and Baron joined forces as a Redback creeped forward, hissing wildly.
Baron flipped into the air, Sun grabbing his feet as he spun and throwing him into the air. Baron rotated midair as he threw his saws down, Sun deflecting the mandibles of the spider with his staff.
Baron slashed into its back, liquid pouring out of the wound. With a grin he leaped up, opening his shirt as bananas rained down. Sun ran up, setting his foot on a mandible and leaping to the side, his clone shooting forward to the falling bananas and hitting them, causing them to explode into balls of fire.
It rained down onto the Redback, causing it to hiss in pain as it exploded, sending boiling blood into the sky. As the juices rained down, Sun landed, his hands on Baron's shoulders. A Beowolf ran forward as Sun's tail wrapped around its snout. Sun leaped off, flipping and launching it into the air. Baron the his saw, cutting it in two midair.
...
Kana
I looked down as the Queen of Flames sprinted around, her blonde hair almost ablaze.
Yang charged forward, her eyes a burning red.
A Beowolf shot forward and brought its paw up in an uppercut, the woman giving a laugh as she caught the claw, bringing her fist across in a hook and blasting away its head. She spun as an Ursa major growled, standing tall.
It swiped both hands down in an 'x' shape, Yang sticking her forearms out and blocking both, kicking it in the groin. It yelped, grabbing onto its package as she grabbed a fist full of its hair. Yang hoisted its head up, staring straight into its eyes.
"This is for my late sons, you shits!"
She shouted, uppercutting its head off.
She kickflipped off of it as a Beowolf charged at her from behind, interlocking her fingers and crushing its skull as she brought her hands down.
A Nevermore squaked as it opened its talons, swooping down. Yang caught the incoming talons with a roar, her feet pressing into the ground. Dirt rained through the air as grass was torn from the ground.
She threw the bird to the ground using only pure strength, leaping on its back as it flew away in fear.
The bird flew up towards me, Yang pointing to the Giant.
I nodded, taking over her Nevermore and commanding it to fly straight to the chest of Providence.
Yang let out a scream as she exploded, her hair bursting into flames. She charged forward, leaping off the head of the Nevermore, which exploded into gore beneath her feet. The woman flew through the air, bringing back her flaming fist.
With a warcry, she thrust it forward, punching into the armor of Providence.
An explosion of pure golden fire erupted as she flew back, my Nevermore catching her.
"Y-You!"
Providence hissed. Rusty flew to our mount as the beast stumbled back, the smoke clearing from his chest.
The armor had cracked away, revealing the gorey center. A heart pounded inside, its color the very same as Fluffy was after he came out of his corpse.
"That's the nucleus! Focus fire!" Coco shouted, turning and blasting away. Icarus shot forward, slashing away at the exposed flesh.
Rusty held up his hand, his eyes flicking in their sockets.
"Kana, the flesh outside the Nucleus is far too thick to pierce using ordinary means!" He reported.
"Shit! What do we do?"
"I'm afraid I have only found one solution, and I believe you understand what it is."
I bit my lip, flipping my lance onto my back.
"I'm sorry, Kana." He said, his voice fluttering.
"Let's go!" I shouted, leaping from the Nevermore. He shot off, catching me midair and landing on the ground in the clearing.
I watched as the two top predators of Remnant flight for control, explosion erupting in the black tsunami. Man and Grimm fought for control of the world.
My eyes locked on Providence as he turned to face me, his white heart pumping in the black sun. I lifted my Lance of Longinus, folding it into its spear mode.
Rusty nodded coldly as his chest opened, his glowing core exposed.
I watched as my friends and family fought among beasts of dark, standing as one united force, all children of the greater Hunt.
My one hand lifted the spear, the other, wrapped around Rusty's metallic heart.
"Goodbye, my good friend." I said, glancing into his sorrow filled eyes.
"I'm your... Friend." He said with a smile. "Goodbye."
I tore into his heart.
"DEVOUR!"
His energy flooded into my body, forcing me to let out a scream. I bonded it to my body as the world grew silent, my eyes burning with a red power.
I could feel my soul breaking, shattering and releasing its true power.
I channeled all of my Aura as it detached from my blackened soul, bonding to my spear as I uttered a single command, my last word.
"Die!"
The spear burst into a white flame as I threw it, launching the spear of destiny into the sky. The spear burned like a morning star as it burned bright. It's shotgun went off, firing it even faster. It shot through Nevermore after Nevermore as it shot into the heart of god.
It erupted in white fire, Providence letting out a scream as he grabbed at his heart.
It let out a beastly roar as it collapsed, pieces of it quickly fading away.
"No...!"
It's skin turned gray as its armor fell off, its husk of a body falling away.
...
Cerise:
"Release Fluffy."
...
Kana:
The white stallion flew out of the Leviathan, through the battlefield and to the mound of dust.
The dust flooded into him as his body grew larger and larger, his angelic head rising in a heroic fashion.
The dust was tearing my body apart.
My body was fading, my mind all but gone. All the heat left my body, cold plaguing my body. I felt myself drawn to him as I stepped forward, my boot pressing against Rusty's deactivated bland lifeless body sprawled out in the grass.
Fluffy walked toward me, my vision black and white, drained of all color. He glowed so brilliantly, his antlers stretching into the sky.
"Kana..."
"Who?"
He smiled, so it seemed, lowering his head.
I felt that my soul had vanished. I was animated dust, following orders from the largest source. This was what it was like to be a Grimm, a single leaf in a larger whirlwind.
God stood in front of me, his head bowed.
"Feed me..." He asked.
"Yes... Of course." I said weakly, my mind draining. His mouth opened, revealing horrid teeth as sharp as talons. No fear spread through my empty mind as my hand presses against his white tooth, tears falling from my eyes.
"Release yourself of this prison, Kana. Become Truth, not Lie."
My black, fake, and synthetic soul of dust burned as it flooded out of me, the deer absorbing the dust from my body. I gasped as air flooded back into my lungs, warmth taking my body.
I didn't feel light, I didn't feel weak. No, as this black energy flooded out of my body, and as Providence II took away the sins of mine and the others who did this to me, I felt my soul rush back into my body.
Like a hole dug in a lake, it flooded with the Remnants of Lie Kana, which had been praying to return to her half empty body since the Moonender stole her when she was only 8. How they destroyed part of her soul, extracting part of her. And now it was returned and restored.
Moonender.
As Kana returned to my body, as I truly was reborn, I understood. I understood its power.
It was the Nucleus of the very fist Providence, the one who created Dust. Preserved in its vacuum of soullessness. It wallowed alone, a tool, a weapon in the greater game.
But the divinity in front of me was different. As I took back my life by giving him my darkness, I saw that. He wasn't a weapon to be pointed at the enemy. He was a hero of peace. A true Huntsman.
I fell to my knees as I bawled into my hands, the deer turning and flapping its gigantic wings.
"Come."
The pale beast raised its head as the Grimm left the battlefield, grabbing on to its fur as it flew into the air, flying away from us.
I stood, wiping my eyes. I took in my first, true breath. Happiness erupted in my chest, my throat catching.
Coco let out a cheer, the others joining in.
"WE WON!"
Cerise stood on top of Leviathan, waving away at the flying Goliath. Ozpin stood beside him, saluting.
"Goodbye, my friends." It said, vanishing into the night sky.
It only took a few minutes.
The moon slowly shifted away, the light of the sun burning bright and lighting up the world of Remnant.
We let out cheers and laughter as we hugged ourselves in victory, crying in happinesses.
The sun glowed in the light blue sky, a smile on my face.
The Grimm were gone. Truly gone.
Today, Humanity had won. We had secured a future of peace, one where no fighting might just occur, if a miracle or two happen.
In this victory, we no longer where Children of the Black Fang, the SDC, Atlas, Beacon, Vale, or even of Remnant.
We are the Children of the Hunt.
