GARO Saviors of Remnant

ESKK: And with this we begin the Grimm Eclipse Saga as we delve deeper into the darkness that lead up to Nexus. Not his origins mind you but more of the reasons he is the way he is. Just remember one is not simply born a monster without prior causes to it. Eventually a Monster is born because humans create the darkness that is the monsters womb. Read and Review please.

*Insert When it Falls RWBY OP 3

The song began with a slow piano score as from it a red rose petal began to fall from the sky where Remnant's moon could be seen. As it slowly but surely fell it landed on a blooming rose as it was peaceful but the night was not for the night the Horrors ruled.

-Maybe red's like roses?-

When the guitar hit an Ursa was seen as it ran across destroying the flower as it ran across the land with a Horror riding its back. With the Grimm and Horror was an army of them from creeps to even Beowolfs as they were all accompanied by Horrors.

-Maybe it's the pool of blood! The innocents will lay in When in the end you've failed to save them?-

The screen began to change between Team RWBY, GARO, SSSN, JNPR, CMEN, and KIBA as behind the teams with Makai Knights were the armors of said Knights before the screen focused on Nexus, Akane, and Cinder as their eyes were starting to glow to show their own power.

-Their dying eyes! Are wide and white like snow! And now they know the cost of trusting you is obliteration!-

The screen went back to the army of Grimm and Horrors as they entered Beacon as the Horrors stopped to either possess any stray humans or for a quick snack on said humans as soon the Grimm, Hybrids, Horrors were upon Beacon Tower itself.

-Mirrors will shatter! Crushed by the weight of the world!-

The screen showed the Grimm and Horrors were at the window itself where Ozpin and Glynda were looking at it. But as Ozpin looked to the mirror he saw the past, four Makai Knights clearly identified as Garo, Yaiba, Bolg in its silver form, and Lord as the Makai Priestess with them looked like Salem but in a human form as behind her with a hand on her shoulder like a father to his daughter was a fifth Knight known as Kiba. Then the Window like mirror shattered showing James with his Atlesian forces on his airship.

-The pillars collapse in shame-

The screen then showed Aron, Blake, and Weiss walking as the trio were in what looked like Forever Falls but as they walked they soon looked and saw Adam with the White Fang there before his form shattered to revealed Jacque Schnee there but his eyes were showing Horror Markings as behind him was the shadow of a large Horror glaring at them. The scene then shattered revealing Akane as she was sitting on a combo of the CEO desk for the SDC and the throne for the White Fang as on either side of her was the White Fang's symbol and the SDC symbol showing Akane controlled it all.

-There'll be no rest! There'll be no love! There'll be no hero in the end who will rise above-

The screen then showed the Beacon people as Team's GARO, RWBY, JNPR, and the Atlas Soldiers lead the charge against an army of Grimm and Horrors who were being led by Nexus and Team KIBA as Gold and Nexus glared at each other before sliding to a stop and trading a crimson red and shining gold punch at each other causing he scene to change.

The screen then began showing Team's RWBY and GARO going against Cinder, Mercury, Emerald, and Adam and Team KIBA as they were in a major battle. Raymond and Yang were fighting against Mercury and Blaze. Blake and Aron were talking on Adam and Ico as it was clear this was an intense battle. Then it came to Weiss and Ollette as they took on Akane and Emerald as Weiss was trying to desperately save her half-sister from the darkness she was in. Trying to show the human Faunus hybrid that there are those who care about her but Akane wasn't listening as it may be Akane was too far gone. Finally it was Gold, Ruby, and Jaune vs Nexus, Solomon, and Cinder

-And when it ends! The good will crawl! The shining light will sink in darkness victory for hate incarnate misery and pain for all!-

The scene then began showing Qrow and Winter as with them was Ruby and Weiss as they left as from Gold was Lockwood another Makai Knight who had a cigarette in his mouth as the one who taught Gold got between the two to split them up before a photo flew in. On the Photo was an image of Team STRQ as the image zoomed in on Qrow's weapon's gears as soon the scene changed.

-When it falls!-

The song began to come to an end as it showed Team GARO, RWBY, and JNPR holding hands while falling downward before they were forced to split apart as the teams were being divided. But Gold look downward as Ruby was worried as she then glared seeing Nexus, Cinder, and Solomon there as Jaune saw this as well as did the rest of Team GARO as with the evil trio was the rest of KIBA.

Gold then flew downward faster as he then summoned his armor becoming Garo as the same could be said for Ruby and Jaune becoming Yaiba and Gaia. Nexus, Solomon, and Cinder all saw this and returned the favor as they jumped upward as Nexus and Solomon summoned their own armors becoming Kiba and Bolg as the two went at Garo and Yaiba while Cinder went for Jaune as when their blades clashed there was a huge flash of light.

Soon the screen showed the Madou Rings, Amulets, Brooches, Bracelets, and a scroll with what may be Penny's head inside it. The screen then showed GARO and RWBY sitting in a circle as the image circled around them as it looked almost sad for some reason. Soon the song came to an end as the image of Garo and Kiba appeared glaring at each other as with it was Yaiba and Bolg doing the same as it was clear this was only the beginning of things.

"GARO SAVIORS OF REMNANT"

(Start Salem's lair)

Salem was in her lair as she was going over some new data Nexus had acquired for her as she relaxed a bit. Ever since her battle with Ruby things have been back on track since no doubt Ironwood with his paranoia is all but increasing the defenses to wage an all-out assault on her. Pathetic in the end as Nexus would not fall to an army he WAS an army as Salem knew her son's power was infinite he could not be bested so easily. But then again perhaps it's the proud mother in her and the joy she had at Nexus becoming as powerful as he was. Salem loved her son as she looked at the old picture she kept with her smiling sadly a bit to it.

"Perhaps this was the god's way of trying to appease me and my wrath grant me a child to replace the one I lost." Salem said as she then glared at it. "But alas it is to late soon Nexus will watch this world burn for the hell it had caused him." Salem said as she was not going to take the fact Remnant tried to make a weapon out of her own child.

It was after that when Doctor Arthur Watts ran in as he looked very worried and frantic over some recent information. "Milady I bring troubling news… involving Nexus." Watts said as Salem then glared at her follower as she did not expect to hear that from him.

"What is it Watts?" Salem asked as Watts then nodded.

"I had attempted to censor the information regarding Merlot but it seems Nexus had acquired it already." Watts said as he looked to Salem. "And what is more troubling he has gone after Merlot himself." Watts said as Salem heard this and growled.

"Dammit all." Salem cursed knowing Nexus had few obsessions one of them was the answers for his birth his unholy creation by humanities science.

Ozpin's Office)

After the fiasco with the two Dark Knights and one female Dragon Knight Gold, Ruby, and Jaune made a full recovery but Ruby was now sporting a new scar on her chest where Edel had stabbed her. Of course they had scars all over them but the one Ruby took note of was the one where she was stabbed which had a matching one on her back.

Needless to say Ruby had barely been let out of Yang's sight after that while Aron was hanging out with Weiss very often now even taking a selfie with her for later use. "Well look at the love birds." Gold said as he arrived as he grinned at Aron and Weiss who were in the middle of starting a make out session.

"You mind Gold?" Aron asked as he glared at Gold.

"Not really but we got to meet Ozpin and so does Weiss with her teammates." Gold said as Weiss then sighed at this.

"So this is being 'cock blocked,' then." Weiss said as she then took her leave as Aron glared at Gold.

"Really?" He asked as Gold grinned a bit.

"Well looks like I got lucky then huh?" Gold asked as Aron rolled his eyes as they went to find the others.

(Meanwhile with Nexus)

Nexus was investigating a piece of metal he found from a relay station as he looked it over and saw the markings and glared at it intently. As he glared at it he knew where it belonged to as he had an old face to hunt down as he was going to get his answers. "I'm coming for you Merlot." Nexus said as he put his mask back on so he may find Merlot and learn why he exists.

(Back at Beacon Ozpin's office)

Team GARO arrived at the elevator just in time to see RWBY walk out as they all saw them. "Well, we have a mission and..." Ruby started before sagging. "We're going out to fix a few machine's that are a part of Vale's security network." She said with a sad sigh as the mission sounded boring.

"Not glorious but still important." Raymond said as Aron smiled.

"Just be glad you aren't spending an entire day sealing Gates." Aron said as Ruby nodded understanding it a bit.

"I know but still..." Ruby groaned as she was hopping for something far more exciting then maintenance.

"Look at the bright side, you're not playing escort to some moron so at least you got lucky there." Gold said as he was back to his happy go lucky self.

"Plus Ruby you just came back from recovery this mission will let you ease back into the driver seat." Ollette said as she smiled. "Plus you should have a teacher with us and with the modifications I made to Bumblebee you and Yang should be able to ride to the target with ease." Ollette said as Yang heard her.

"You did what now?" Yang asked as she never gave Ollette permission to do that.

"Best head out now Flower Girl and Fire Cracker we don't wish to be late." Eclipse said with a yawn as Yang glared at Ollette.

"We'll talk about this later." Yang said as Ollette smirked as they saw Team RWBY Leave.

"See you soon babe!" Aron called to Weiss as Weiss smiled and waved to her boyfriend before Team GARO Entered Ozpin's office.

(Later at Ozpin's office)

When Team GARO arrived it was Raymond who spoke as he looked to Ozpin. "So what's our mission sir?" Raymond asked as he looked to Ozpin.

"Straight to the point then I see." Ozpin said before standing up, "About two days ago a village had evacuated due to an oncoming Grimm horde, the horde arrived at the village yesterday according to a drone I had sent out."

"So you wish for us to clear out the Grimm so the villagers can return safely?" Ollette suggested as she looked to Ozpin.

"Not exactly." Ozpin said as he then showed images of the incident which showed Horrors among them as well as a familiar mask.

"Kiba?" Gold asked as he saw Kiba there.

"Yes it seems Kiba has been on the move lately more than normal in fact by the looks of it he's searching for something." Ozpins said as Kiba was then shown shooting down the drone.

"So you want us to tail him and figure out what he's looking for?" Gold asked as Ozpin nodded.

"Yes but as far as anyone else is concerned this is a extermination mission if you cannot find Kiba as we know the Dark Knight is fast with his movement." Ozpin urged as Gold nodded.

"Ok got it follow him if he's there and if not clear the village out and find a trail to follow." Gold said as Ozpin nodded in response.

"More or less." Ozpin said as Gold nodded to him.

"You go it!" Gold said as Goruba sighed a bit.

"This may be more than its worth." Goruba said as Silva nodded in agreement.

(Later at the Courtyard)

"AWWWWW MAAAAN!" Ruby cried out when she was told Team GARO's mission out in the courtyard as both teams made their way to the bullheads which were loading up their vehicles of choice. "You guys get to take out a tone of Grimm and Horrors while we run maintenance." Ruby complained as Ollette sighed.

"Hey at least you guys get a teacher to arrive with you at the station we gotta go solo on this." Ollette said as she looked to Ruby as they were unaware of the rest of Team KIBA watching them intently.

"Come on now we best head out even if it's Port who is aiding us for this." Weiss said as they all then headed out for their missions.

(With Team GARO)

The Bulwark arrived a few miles outside the village as Aron was loaded up in his pickup truck with Leila and Raymond in their car and finally Gold taking his spot on Zaruba. "Ok let's rip out and roll out!" Gold called out as once the engines were running the team drove off to find their quarry in question.

(Later in the Village)

The team arrived at the Village as they took note how things were odd here as Gold saw this. "Kind of quiet here." Gold said as he saw things were far too quiet to be normal.

"Yeah I know something isn't right here." Aron said as they looked around for the infestation here.

"Be careful Zero." Silva urged as Aron saw this. "We are not alone here." Silva said as this meant their quarry was hiding here.

"In coming!" Zaruba called out as Gold saw this and clenched his fist before punching a Grimm Square in the face sending it flying as its head was blasted off as well as Gold smirked at this.

"We got more of them!" Aron called out as more Grimm jumped out as Gold looked around.

Ollette got her weapons ready as she then smirked and pulled something from the car. "Finally I get to try this bad boy out." Ollette said as she pulled out a huge weapon of sorts as she then unwrapped it to reveal it. "Ladies and Gentleman Boys and Girls now making its long awaited debut I present to you the Makai Cross Punisher." Ollette called out as she pulled off the Tarp revealing the weapon in question as it was a huge cross. "With two machine guns in the front, a rocket launcher in the side, and holsters for any hand guns and Bayonets on the side this bad boy will get the job done and then some." Ollette boasted as she smirked at her weapon as Raymond saw this.

Ollette then pulled the heavy ass weapon to her arms and took aim before she began firing the machine guns taking out the Grimm in her way as she grinned at her oncoming victory. As she fired Gold came in and kept punching any Grimm that came his way as he was taking them down one by one as it was clear he was physically stronger then them. As he did so Aron was firing at the Grimm with his guns as he looked around knowing the Hybrid was walking among them as they kept fighting.

Ollette wasn't done as she soon saw a huge Ursa and then flipped her Makai Cross Punisher to the other side and held it like a Rocket launcher before the side opened and in turn fired the rocket at the Ursa before it could get too close as the Ursa was hit by it and sent skyward with it under it exploded like fireworks. Ollette then slammed her weapon down before the sides opened to reveal her many hand guns, revolvers, and the like as she pulled them out and began firing at her foes not letting a single bullet go to waste.

"Come on eat lead and dusty assholes!" Leila roared as she began laughing at them as it was clear she was kind of losing it with her new toy.

"Great she's triggered." Raymond sighed knowing how Ollette had used her Semblance to tag and shoot them all up as it was clear she was winning this fight.

"So where is the Hybrid anyway?" Aron called out as he kept firing before switching the position of his weapons for melee as he began hacking the Grimm with the axe blades of his weapons cartridges and slashing them with the Zero Blades that are the bayonets of his guns.

"They should be among the group but they seem to be blending in!" Silva called as Raymond was dealing with his foes as he used his spear to do the job.

"Well wherever they are they are, we will weed them out!" Raymond called out as he took out his handgun and began firing at the Grimm to keep them at bay.

"I got it!" Gold called out as he then roared out and then with his fist punched the ground hard sending all the Grimm down as Ollette then with all her bayonets she kept hidden flung each of them at the Grimm's head until they were the only ones left. "The hell?" Gold asked as Aron looked around.

"Dammit all it must have gotten away!" Aron called out as Goruba then spoke.

"I would not bet on it." Goruba said as they all heard this. "It's still in the area." Goruba said as soon the group were caught by surprise when out of the nowhere a hybrid roared out but the Grimm this Horror was merged with was not one they recognized... at least by first glance. It seemed to be a Beowulf but to the groups shock it had green crystals sticking out of its body as what was normally the demonic red color was a sickly green color now as they all saw this.

"Is that supposed to be a Beowulf?" Gold asked as he saw the Grimm/Horror Hybrid in question standing there.

"Should be but not one I know of." Ollette said as they saw the creature as it then roared out in fury as they saw it.

"Well whatever it is, it's going to be dead soon!" Aron called out as they all got ready to rumble.

"Yeah here it comes!" Raymond called out as the Grimm charged at them catching Aron off guard as he yelped at this while getting away only for Raymond to activate his semblance and use the barrier to knock the creature down.

"Ok Raymond give me a strategy!" Gold called out as they got ready for it.

"Let's circle around it! We need to know what we're dealing with here and snip it at the source! Keep it from making any escape attempts!" Raymond called out as Gold heard this.

"Ok Ollette we need a venue have any suggestions?" Gold called as the order was clear make a barrier for them to fight inside.

"I have a few!" Ollette called out as she began to load a special bullet into her revolver until she pointed her revolved and fired it which then released a spell which surrounded them all and in turn the Hybrid tried to escape only to hit the barrier which didn't deter it as it tried to force its way through.

"Ok you stubborn ass you aint going anywhere!" Aron called out as he used his Aura Chains to yank the Grimm torts them keeping it from making another escape as it roared out at them in pure rage and fury.

"Better armor up boys this thing won't go down without a fight!" Gold called out as that seemed to be the case here with this Grimm/Horror Hybrid they were facing.

Aron and Raymond nodded in response as they in turn summon their armor as first was Raymond with his spear then it was Gold with the Garoken, and finishing them off was Aron as soon Dan, Garo, and Zero took the stage. The three Knights then roared out as the charged the Hybrid who roared at them as they went at each other.

Zero went for the spikes area hoping to remove a possible weapon but when the blades hit the spikes Zero was caught off guard when the energy the spikes produced went off a bit as he saw he was unharmed. "Interesting it attacked your Aura but your armor defended it." Silva commented as Garo heard this as he went for the Hybrid and slashed at it with Dan jumping on its back and stabbing his spear into it but not enough to bring it down.

"Ollette keep your distance from the thing!" Garo ordered as he looked to Ollette who nodded.

"Got it!" Ollette called out a she went for long ranged weapons and began firing at the Hybrid who roared in fury.

As the three Knights attacked the Horror/Grimm hybrid they quickly began to see their attacks weren't doing as much damage as intended as it did the normal amount to any other Horror but not the damage they were used to. "This Grimm before the Horror was modified somehow." Zaruba spoke as Garo heard this. "More than likely it is due to this that the Horror is stronger now than normal." Zaruba said as Garo heard this and grinded his blade against his gauntlet.

"I see then we just have to hurt it twice as much then!" Garo called as Zero and Dan both saw what Garo was about to do as soon the violet lines on his armor began to glow showing Garo was aiming to end this.

"Go Gold Go!" Zero called out as the three began to charge in as Ollette jumped upward and fired another spell bullet at the three as soon the three Knights had a boost in power. The three then began slashing through the Hybrid as they based by him or got up close and personal as they were quickly overpowering it with their own skill set.

As they did this the Hybrid was being pushed to its limit as it was becoming evident it won't last much longer. Soon Garo roared out as he gave one last charge as the Hybrid used its claws to block and parry Garo to the best of its abilities before Garo kicked it and went for a stab after spinning about. "YOU'RE HUNT ENDS HERE!" Garo roars out as he then ran the Hybrid through as the Hybrid roared in pain before it struggled to get free until in the end it fell limp as its body began to vanish into dust as the barrier came down with everyone's armors disengaging.

"Hey look!" Zaruba called out as Gold looked and saw Kiba there as they were all shocked and quickly acted but Kiba passed right through them blasting Team GARO away and went for the hybrid. Once he was there he ripped off one of the green crystals upon its body before placing it in a stasis sort of container as he glared at it.

"KIBA!" Gold called out as Kiba then avoided another attack from Gold.

"Be gone I don't have time to play today." Kiba said as he then vanished into his shadows as Gold threw the Garoken at him but it missed.

"Ok well we know Kiba was here but did he act... I don't know off?" Aron asked as Gold saw it also.

"Yeah it's not like him to skip out a chance to fight Gold here." Ollette said as everyone began to regroup as they saw this.

"Well boss what's the game plan?" Aron asked as he looked to Gold.

Gold thought about it as it looked like Kiba was focused on something more important and as far as they all knew there was nothing out here that would even hint at Kiba's grand plan. But then again their mission was to tail him and that was what they were going to do. "Ok plan stays the same once we find Kiba which we did we follow him silently." Gold said as Zaruba agreed to this.

"Yes I did tag him and something about Kiba's movement suggested he has a personal reason for being out here." Zaruba confirmed as Gold nodded.

"Ok then load up people he's fast so we need speed to catch up." Raymond said as Ollette smiled to this.

"Way ahead of you." Ollette said as she loaded up her Makai Cross Punisher to the car as they were ready to go. "Come on!" Ollette called out as they began to take their leave of the area. "We are good to follow right?" Ollette asked as Raymond then held his scroll.

"Don't worry Ozpin gave, us the good to go to follow but try to avoid a confrontation if able." Raymond said as he was now stuck in the passenger side of Aron's pickup truck.

"Well then come on let's go!" Gold called out as he was ready to go.

"Which reminds me how is RWBY's mission going?" Aron asked as he looked to Ollette from his truck.

"I'll update you guys when I got the information." Ollette said as she had installed her personal scroll into the car she now drives.

"Ok wait for an update got it." Gold said as they had to move out now.

(With RWBY's Mission)

Team RWBY was finishing up their own mission as they fought their way through the Grimm while the Professor with them Professor Port was focusing on repairing the Damage done to the Control Station for monitoring things in this region. Yang was on Bumblebee which now had guns on the front as she was firing them off as Ruby was on her own Madou Bike taking care of the Grimm as it seems the tires were able to adjust to the ground it rides on as needed. In fact they were finishing off the last wave as Ruby then smiled at this as Ruby saw a large Grimm appear as Ruby saw this.

"It's all yours sis!" Yang called as Blake and Weiss jumped back.

"Ok cover me Yaiba Rose!" Ruby called out as it was clear this meant armor time as Ruby drove in and off a stone ramp before summoning her armor as once Yaiba took the stage she stopped the motorcycle as Eclipse then yawned.

"I never get to nap when I want to." Eclipse complained as Yaiba looked.

"Less complaining more helping!" Yaiba called as the two then revved up the engine and drove straight for the kill as soon Ruby began to finish the fight by jumping off Eclipse and summersaulting in the air before slicing down on the massive ape like Grimm ending it in one fell swoop.

"That should be the last of them!" Weiss called as Yaiba reverted to Ruby as she drove in on Eclipse.

"Yeah is it me or the Grimm seem more vicious then normal?" Blake asked as Eclipse yawned a bit.

"Let me see the Control Station." Eclipse said as she yawned a bit.

"Oh sure." Ruby said as Eclipse began to look it over as Port took the symbol out while finishing the last repairs.

"Yes... this is a sabotage job and this mark... the person who did this wants us to know he or she did it." Eclipse said as Port saw this as well.

"Now that is troubling." Peter Port said as he looked to the symbol. "Alright then you all head to the next station I'll get this to our staff at Beacon to figure out where it came from." Peter said as everyone nodded.

"Alright we're going to solo this mission!" Ruby called out as Peter Port wasn't done.

"And remember when you get to the next Control Station deploy a Madou Tool Drone with your Scroll to handle repairs." Port ordered Ruby as he made sure the scroll had the program downloaded.

"A Drone?" Ruby asked as Weiss was also skeptical.

"Don't compare it to the drones you know Flower Girl the Drones you will be utilizing are specifically designed for missions such as this from field repairs to Sentry weapons against Horror and Grimm there use is simple but not very much shared considering Atlas and its needless creation of newer weapons." Eclipse explained as Weiss heard this.

"Hey!" She called out as Port began to take their leave.

"Any who I'll leave you all to it just be careful." Peter Port said as he then took his leave of them.

"Well let's go everyone!" Ruby called out as they were ready to go.

(Later)

The group left the cave as they drove out with Ruby having Weiss ride with her and Blake riding with Yang as they drove down the dirt road. As they drove though the ground was soon covered in ice as everyone went wide eyed as soon explosions began to go off as Ruby and Yang tried to keep the bikes steady but it was useless as they all ended up crashing and burning but still alive as Yang saw her bike was in one piece no doubt thanks to Ollette's mods.

"What happened?!" Ruby asked as Eclipse then spoke.

"Oh great their back." Eclipse said as soon they looked and saw the masked forms of Frost, Zex, and Zem appeared as they all glared down upon Team RWBY.

"Why now?" Weiss asked as she had her weapon drawn as everyone was ready to fight as it was clear Weiss may have to fight her... half-sister again.

"Drop your weapons we aren't here to fight this time." Frost spoke as they saw Kiba was nowhere to be seen.

"Yeah tell that to the people you and Kiba's goon squad had hurt during the Breach." Yang argued as she wasn't dropping anything nor was Blake.

"Fine stay armed I'll just keep talking." Frost said as she glared at RWBY. "We need your help." Frost said as the tone she used showed she did not want their help but saw needs must be met.

"Oh you want our help that's a laugh." Yang said as Eclipse then spoke.

"She speaks the truth if she had any other option she would have used it." Eclipse said as she saw something fishy as well.

"Wait you want us to help you, with what?" Ruby asked as she was skeptical.

"Kiba... he's gone missing." Frost began as everyone heard this.

"Good riddance." Yang growled as Blake then shushed Yang for that one.

"How do you know this?" Weiss asked as Frost scoffed at her.

"Because he doesn't vanish for days on end without a good reason and most of all he lets us know if something is up. So we need Ruby Rose here to be bait for us while we try to find him." Frost said as Ruby glared at her.

"No not after everything you three have done to Vale!" Ruby argued as she wasn't going to help them find their missing leader/monster.

"Guess you leave us no choice then..." Frost said as soon Ruby was wide eyed as a Glyph appeared at her chest at with Frost as her hand vanished through it as then the vanished hand appeared at Ruby's chest smashed into it as Ruby saw this and went wide eyed as she hissed in pain from it when the hand smashed into her chest just before she or her team could attack it.

"What did you do?" Ruby asked as Eclipse sensed it.

"Ruby!" Eclipse called out as Ruby then saw Zex look away as Ruby then turned around to open up her shirt and to her shock saw a huge mark on it.

"What is this?" Ruby asked as she saw the mark on her chest spread about like dark wings as Blake and Weiss were all wide eyed at this.

"That is the seal of Destruction!" Eclipse gasped as she saw this. "This seal is normally used upon Knights and Alchemist who break the greatest of our orders laws to give them a slow and painful death... Ruby in other words-!" Eclipse began as Frost laughed a bit.

"I marked you for death Yaiba." Frost said as Yang saw this.

"Then remove it you bitch!" Yang called out as she then charged at Frost who then summoned a Glyph infused with her maiden powers and knocked Yang back hard.

"No I made it special kill me she dies instantly if she doesn't aid us in locating Kiba... every time she summons her armor she takes time off her life." Frost said as she glared at them. "My demands are simple team RWBY aid me and the others in finding Kiba and in return we will remove the mark once Kiba is found." Frost said as Yang growled at this as Blake looked to the others.

"Well any suggestions?" Blake asked as Ruby then looked down.

"Ruby... we don't have a choice now we must aid them." Eclipse said as it was clear she did not like the idea and by the looks of it no one did.

"What but Eclipse!" Ruby called out as Eclipse glared back.

"Ruby just listen to me your too important to allow to die like this!" Eclipse yelled as Ruby was shocked as she looked down a bit in shame as it was the same thing with Edel she didn't listen and in turn she, Gold, and Jaune all got hurt when that happened as well as a lot of people caught in the crossfire.

It was then Ruby decided to listen for once and give Frost her answer even if she hated it. "Fine a truce until we find your boss and when that's done you get this tattoo off my chest!" Ruby yelled as she glared at Frost and her two friends there.

"It shall be done." Frost said as the plan was simple find Kiba and get the mark off of Ruby.

Frost was going to keep her end of the bargain after all her beloved showed her that much as long as both parties keep their sides of the bargain everyone will walk away happily.

(With Nexus)

Nexus stood on a tree in the Emerald Forest as he took out the crystal in question and saw it was a game of hot and cold right now. "Where are you Merlot?" Nexus growled as he wasn't going to let this chance slip him by he was going to find Merlot and when he did he will answer all of Nexus questions whether he likes it or not. Nexus then jumped down and continued his search for one of the major players in his creation.

But as Nexus walked about he soon hissed in pain grabbing his head as if felt like something was stirring a memory inside him as he tried to remember. 'Remember Nexus...' A female voice called to Nexus from within as Nexus saw a scene of a void as he watched young girl with Silver Eyes vanish before his eyes. 'This world despite the darkness it holds... is too beautiful to vanish... so please promise me that..." the girl said but was cut off by something within as Nexus then saw her and tried to grab her only to grab a tree as he saw this.

Nexus then roared out and destroyed the tree with his powers as he noticed a wet feeling upon his face. Nexus looked and saw he was weeping tears of blood as he saw this and tried to figure out what was wrong. "Who was that girl?" Nexus asked as he tried to remember but the memory would not appear before him.

(TBC)

ESKK: Well here we are sorry for the short chapter people anyway hope you all enjoyed it and until next time ja-ne.
