Remnant of Dream

A/N: This is part three of four of this massive battle. I think most of you will like this chapter, compare to the last one, this one got something more into it. Enjoy.

Chapter 36 – Little Mouse

Through out aeon of research into Grimm. The wisest and most diligent of those researcher, at least those that left notes before being eaten by the said Grimm they were observing. They came to a startling conclusion.

Grimm behave just like their animal counterpart when there was no humans around. Ursa hunted fish in the rivers. Boarbatusk root out truffle from the dirt. Beowulf - Manage Storieschase after large mountain cats and got it's face ripped off by the angry feline.

And so it was no surprise that even the enormous serpentine Grimm, Jormungandr, followed it's hunting instinct as a snake, along with hundreds of King Taijitu, Cave Cobra, Hydra and various variety of serpentine Grimm.

The entire reptilian horde chased after Nagisa Momoe, also known as Bebe. All because the girl just so happen to resemble the most delicious mouse they have ever seen. Bebe with her white flowing hair, pale white skin, unnatural agility and speed, along with her adorable squeak as she ran, also her penchant for cheese and cheese cake. Nagisa Momoe possessed an uncanny resemblance to a little white mouse on the run.

"Eeek! Why are they going after Bebe and Bebe alone!? Bebe don't like this!" Bebe yelled as she turned ninety degree and ran down a small alley at top speed.

Several smaller cave cobra Grimm went down the alley after her and were promptly diced up or smashed to a messy pulp by Qrow and Taiyang.

"No idea, but you make a great bait so far against them." Qrow said as he pulled out his flask.

Bebe glared at Qrow, then stuck out her tongue at him.

"Why not just transform and... you know, summon your familiars?" Taiyang asked.

Bebe pouted. "Bebe is not as strong as everyone else. Bebe's not good at fighting."

A radio crackled to life. "Hate to break this up, but you all need to get out of there. Jormungandr is heading right for you. Go north after you exit the alley, then take the third road on your right. Coco should be able to slow down anything that is chasing you." Jaune said over their ear pieces. "Oh! Over and out."

As if right on cue, several King Taijitu slammed into the alley entrance, damaging building on both sides.

"Come on! Let's move!" Qrow shouted, just as Bebe ran ahead of him on exiting the alley. Several Grimm hissed angrily at the prey that was getting away.

As soon as Taiyang and Qrow exited the alley, they saw a horde of Grimm charging towards them from the south. Both men followed Bebe north, every alley and road were spilling out Grimm of serpentine origin, all except for one road. They ran towards that road then turned the corner. Qrow quickly grabbed Bebe around the waist, then dove to the side of the street along with Taiyang.

"Give them everything we have! Fire!" Jaune shouted as soon as Bebe, Qrow and Taiyang got cleared, leaving them an open line of fire at the onrushing Grimm horde.

Velvet held a hard light copy of Coco's Minigun, while coco's Minigun was already unfolded and ready to fire. Adding in Nora's grenade launcher, the three heavy weapons were let lose on the Grimm horde with devastating effect. None of the Grimm had any cover, combine with two Minigun launching specialize burn dust tracer rounds, the bullets easily burned through multitude of Grimm, a single round even passed through several numbers of Grimm before it was extinguished.

Over the next few minutes, the Grimm were turned into Swiss cheese, splatter of dark gore from explosive rounds, diced up from Yatsuhashi's great sword, or pulverized from Fox's unique martial arts. Both Jaune and Pyrrha provided combine cover to stop any and all range attack from the Grimm.

The sound of battle soon died down. "I think that's all of them." Pyrrha said with exhaustion. That was the largest body of Grimm she had ever fought.

"Ren. Can you give us the latest on the Grimm's position." Jaune asked.

"One moment." Ren took out his scroll, then gave it a few tap. Various camera images flashed up. "We're in the clear for now. It will take them at least three minutes to reach our position and close us off. We should be safe if we continue our hit and run..."

Ren was cut off as a skyscraper collapsed in the distance. Jormungandr roared at them as it toppled the building, then it spat something out at them all.

"Duck and cover!" Qrow shouted as everyone took cover.

A black biomass hit where they previously stood, some of those vile liquid hit Jaune's shield and it began to turn black and was belching smoke.

"Jaune! Take it off!" Pyrrha yelled in panic.

Jaune did just that, then threw the shield away just in the nick of time, it soon melted into a puddle of slag.

"That was close." Jaune was interrupted by Ren who was coughing violently, a splotch of blood appeared on his hand.

"Don't... Hack!... Breath in..." Ren's warning came too late as everyone began to cough and felt their strength began to sap.

A sound of trumped was heard, golden bubble splashed into everyone and the Jormungandr's bile.

"I-I can breath again." Ren said as everyone began to recover.

"Bebe might be bad at fighting, but Bebe is really good at support magic. Bebe cleansed everyone and removed the poison." Bebe said with a golden trumpet in her hand.

"Well done kid. All of you, we have to move NOW!" Qrow yelled as Jormungandr barrelled towards them, knocking down everything in it's way.

Everyone took off to the roof of the buildings, even Jaune managed to keep up, with a little help from Pyrrha's Semblance.

"We're going to run out of places to run to!" Taiyang shouted.

"We need bigger guns to deal with that Grimm. My Minigun won't hurt it!" Coco added as a building began to topple behind her.

"Maybe if I summon Miss Tomoe's cannon with my semblance..." Velvet said before being interrupted.

"No! Last time you tried, it almost drained your aura dry. We didn't even get to the firing stage. Save your strength." Coco rebuked.

"I'm only trying to help." Velvet said dejectedly.

"I know Vel."

"Everyone! Watch out!" Qrow yelled as he bisected a winged snake.

"Ohpis! Don't let them bite you!" Ren warned as a swarm of Ohpis Pterotos dive towards them.

A blare of trumped and explosion dispersed the swarm of Grimm.

"Everyone get to the ground. We are going to get swamped if we stay up here." Qrow shouted.

As soon as they landed on the street, an enormous Hydra Grimm attacked, it's nine heads went straight for Bebe. Even thought everyone did their best to block the attack, it was too sudden, two heads broke through, their maws wide open to devour the tiny girl.

A red flash simultaneously cut off both heads. "As incompetent as always, dear brother."

Qrow growled as Raven made her appearance. "If you helped us from the beginning, we won't be in this mess!"

"Excuses, excuses. Besides I needed some 'extra' help and got some." Raven said with an all too wide smile.

Several King Taijitu and another Hydra came into view as they exited the side street. As everyone got into position, a loud bang echoed around the building, a whizzing sound was soon accompanied by the squelching sound of torn flesh and broken bones. One of the King Taijitu found an extra hole in it's forehead, within moments something curved multiple times in mid air then slammed into another Grimm, blasting a hole through it, then another and another. Soon the small horde was riddled with holes, even the Hydra was struggling.

"Tough little bastards aren't they, Raven." A man in his fifties with an eyepatch said with a large grin. "And it is good to see you again, boy. Been a long time." The man have straight long black hair down to his waist, scruffy moustache and beard. He wore traditional ceremonial samurai garb, he also wielded an ornamental musket.

"Holy..." Qrow then turned to Raven. "You brought HIM here! Are you nuts!"

"We need all the help we can get. And he isn't the only one." Raven said with an infuriating smirk.

"...Raven... Tell me you didn't..." Qrow was then interrupted.

"Hate to say this, but we got a problem! Jormungandr is almost on top of us!" Coco shouted as she blasted the massive Grimm with her Minigun.

It did nothing more then pissing Jormungandr off as bullets ricochet off it's thick armour. It hissed angrily then charged right at them.

"Leave this to me." An effeminate voice said, which was followed by a massive roar of pain from the Jormungandr.

The man or woman, wore long dark hair tied up in ponytail, wore a dark blue vest with chain mail, dark blue pants and held a massive long bow with rows of quivers just below his or her waist.

Jaune blushed up a storm when he saw the individual's face.

"Get your mind out of the gutter kid. That's a man you're looking at." Qrow growled when he saw the bowman.

"Ara. If it isn't little Qrow, did you bring me flowers again. We should really catch up." The bowman said with a grin. Qrow face palmed and turned red in embarrassment.

"Hey! You might want to put more arrows into that huge ass Grimm." The bearded man then added as an afterthought. "You can play with the boy later."

"Hai Hai." Within an instant the bowman drew back the string, then launched an arrow at Jormungandr's forehead, then another within second of each other.

Pyrrha and Ren were able to track the trajectory of the arrows and could hardly believe what they saw. The arrows sunk through the armour of the massive Grimm with ease, Jormungandr roared in pain as each arrow seemed to pierce the enormous Grimm with no resistance at all.

Qrow then came to a realization. "If those two are here..." He turned to Raven. "Tell me that nut job is not..."

Qrow was cut off by an ungodly screech that was worse then nail on black board. It got the attention of all the Grimm.

"Nora!" Ren yelled.

"It wasn't me! I swear! Cross my heart!" Nora defended herself frantically.

Indeed it was not from Nora. A man in blood red samurai armour appeared, he has short spiky black hair, he wielded a massive two handed Shinogi-Zukuri katana. The man has the most vicious smile anyone has ever seen.

"How glorious! The head of such beast will bring glory beyond measure! I must have it!" The man cackled in glee as he charged the Grimm horde.

"Is that guy crazy!?" Coco yelled as she had to stop her Minigun from hitting the man.

"Oh no, he is way beyond that." Qrow said with frustration.

What happened next had Team CFVY and JNPR blinking in shock. The man decapitated any Grimm that came too close, those that stood in his way were either cut apart or smashed aside like rag dolls. The man ran in a perfect straight line, never deviated from his intended target.

Then the man made a great leap at Jormungandr, his form tiny in comparison to the World Serpent. He cleaved down with a mighty stroke and gave a painful cut on Jormungandr's snout.

The world serpent roared in rage as it reared back by reflex alone, then it flung it's colossal tail straight at it's tormentor, smashing all the building on it's right side. The colossal tail hurtle towards the man. The enormous and unstoppable amount of Grimm flesh and armour bearing down towards him.

The man reacted by raising his left palm to meet the wall of flesh. With unexpected result. A deafening explosion of air was visible to the naked eyes for a split second. The Jormungandr's tail was smashed back with sickening crack of bones and armour. The red armour man was blown back to Qrow's group. His body smashed through multiple vehicles, crumbling them, it finish with him leaving a massive hole in the building's concrete and steel wall.

"Oh my god! It killed him!" Pyrrha shouted in shock.

"Yea right, if only." The older man said with a groan.

"Kids this days, how adorable!" The effeminate man said with a smile.

Qrow looked to Pyrrha. "Kid, it would be a beautiful day for all of us when that nut job finally kicks the bucket."

It was then the door of said ruin building was kicked off it's hinge, sending it flying. The red armour man walked out with an expression of annoyance. "Tsk! Tough bastard, that should have taken it's head off!"

"Speak of the devil and he shall appear." Qrow said with a sigh.

"Hey Toyo! Ya didn't really expect to take out a legendary Grimm just like that, did ya?" The old man asked.

"Of course he did. This is Shimazu we are talking about." The effeminate man answered.

"Ya right, I forgot why I stop inviting those crazy bastard to drink. He's as bad as his old man. The whole clan is freaking nuts." The old man groused.

The red armour man creaked his neck as he stretched out. "Pahh! Ya Winter clans don't haf ta balls for half ta stuff we do. All dat snow have frozen ya balls off. And the Autumn Clan, Pish! They got a girly man as their leader."

"The Summer clan has been the same for hundreds of years, led by the Shimazu." The red armour man looked very proud at that comment. "Led by a bunch of southern hicks. Ah yes Shimazu, who the fuck are they again?" The effeminate man said with venom.

"I will murder the both of ya!" The armour man shouted as he drew his katana.

"Enough! In case you idiots didn't notice, Jormungandr is still alive and kicking!" Raven shouted as she pointed at the massive Grimm.

True to her words, Jormungandr had recovered and glared at them with burning rage within it's eyes.

The old man scratched his beard in thoughts. "It's going to be mighty difficult to kill this Grimm."

Bebe jumped up and down to get everyone's attention. "Everyone just need to hold it off for a moment longer. Bebe only need a little more time."

The old man nudged Raven. "This is one of the maiden you told us about?"

"Yes. And?"

"Now I see why you called first dib on her, such a young maiden... YEOWWCH!" The old man yelped as Bebe bite him on the leg.

"Bebe is Bebe! Don't talk like I m not here! Bebe need you all to hold the Grimm off just a little longer. It is important!" Bebe pouted angrily.

"Right! Okay! All we need to do is to hold it off. That is dead easy." The old man said while nursing the bite mark on his leg. While the other two man laughed at his misfortune.

The red armour man heft his katana, then smiled. "If ta maiden we get is half as feisty as dis one, then I ain't complaining. I'll hold da Grimm off for ta time ya need."

"Thanks for the offer Toyo. But I got this." The old man then turned to Jormungandr. "You heard the young maiden, men! Restrain that Grimm!"

Five dozen men covered from head to toe in black robes appeared from the shadow of the ruins and the remaining buildings. They said as one. "Your wish is our command. Shogun-dono."

Each of those man took out a Kunai with steel wire attached from the hoops of the Kunai to the wrist of it's wielder. Each men flung their Kunai at Jormungandr, the blade sunk into the armour of the titanic Grimm, doing no obvious damage what so ever.

However that soon changed when each men channelled purple aura from their body to their weapon. The Jormungandr pulsed in purple aura, it became sluggish, it's movement slowed to a craw.

"In the past, the Winter Maiden taught us sealing technique to assist her in destroying enormous Grimm or seal away one's we could not kill. That teaching has been passed down through generations. This should hold it for awhile." The older man said to the astonished students and their group.

"Just who are you people?" Ren said with mild surprise.

The older man cackled. "Forgot to introduce myself, must be all the excitement. Oda Nobunaga of the Winter Clan."

"Nasu Suketaka Yoichi of the Autumn Clan." The effeminate man introduced himself.

"Shimazu Toyohisa of the Summer Clan." The red armour man introduced.

"Also known as the Clan of the Seasons. Raven, I already told you they will never..." Qrow tried to say.

"I know brother. That is why we decided to come here and offer our service. The clans will join as one for the first time." Raven said with a big smile. "We are going to create a new kingdom under 'The Law of Cycle'."

Qrow and Taiyang were left speechless, but before either could voice their strong opinion, Bebe interrupted.

"There! There it is!" Bebe was looking straight up into the skies, then she took out a platinum blow horn, pressed it against her lips then blew into it with all her might.

A high pitch and strong sound that was both surreal and indescribable slammed into everyone. None were ruffled by the bizarre sound wave of multicolour music notes, but everyone became bewildered as the night began to light up.

A/N: Still more chapters to go, hope you all like this one. And yes I threw those three in, since they were perfect for the role of the other three clans of The Seasons.

Before we go into the review, I will be adding some extra information regarding the three leaders of The Seasons, think of this as a little extra.

Atlesian report. Clan leaders of The Seasons. (Continue)

In my previous report I have given detail analysis of Raven Branwen, leader of the Spring Clan. Through our surveillance, spies and our captives, whom are under the jurisdiction of the Torture and Interrogation department. I have gathered a more complete intelligent on the three others leaders of The Seasons.

Oda Nobunaga, the leader of the Winter Clan, thus far the oldest of the four clan. His leadership have span well over thirty years. His tactical genius on the field of combat have undone many strong Huntsmen team and even our most elite of platoons.

Oda Nobunaga possess a unique semblance known as Bullet Devil. The Semblance allows him to control the velocity and trajectory of bullets he fire from his arsenal, which he chose an ancient musket with large titanium ball as ammo. As one can conclude, this choice of weapon have the potential to wreck havoc on all those that stood in it's path, be they Grimm or Huntsmen.

Nasu Suketaka Yoichi, leader of the Autumn Clan. The youngest of the four, and only just recently obtained the title of leadership. Nasu Suketaka Yoichi was a former assassin with success ratio of a hundred percent, no one has survived his assassination so far, and the reason for this are linked to his Semblance.

Nasu Suketaka Yoichi posses a semblance know as the Ultimate Spear, to put it simply he has the power to imbue any weapon with unrivalled power to pierce any object regardless of armour or Aura. There are no known defence that can stop his arrow, his weapon of choice.

Shimazu Toyohisa, the leader of the Summer clan. The man was raised from childhood to be the leader of his clan, like his father before him. It was said Shimazu Toyohisa had taken a man's life in single combat at the age of eight. His desire for battle and bloodshed were well know and this applied for all those with the name of Shimazu. It is said all Shimazu are berserker that are second to none in the field of battle. Shimazu Toyohisa are more so in this case.

Shimazu Toyohisa posses the Semblance know as The Juggernaut. The semblance made him an unstoppable force to all but the most ridiculous force or opposition. He is well known to charge head first into any and all fight, cutting down all before him, even Goliath had been rumoured to being send flying by this man.

But I am certain we shall get to the truth behind this ridiculous claim, as our interrogator continue tirelessly to extract the truth from our captive.

This conclude my report so far, I sincerely hope our request for extra staff and funding are approved. The threat of The Seasons must not be underestimated.

(Note: This was the last transmission we received from the director of Atlesian Grimm land Intelligence. Our supply team found the base destroyed and all the personnel dead or missing. No captive was ever found or recovered.)

A/N: And that's that chapter done, we only have one more chapter to go in this long battle arc (For me anyway). Then we move onto the more interesting chapters, those that will fit everything together. Now onto the review, I still do them even if there is only one.

ultima-owner: Just don't say that to Mami. No woman like to be called big in anyway, even if she got big pair of... (Click!)... No comment at all. And just to be absolutely clear, no one is holding a musket to my head.
