GARO Saviors of Remnant

(Start Out in Sea)

We see seagulls caw as a ship moves over peaceful blue waters. A pan of the boat from bow to stern reveals… Passengers stroll across both the upper and mid decks. Blake Belladonna was resting her hands on the rail and stares out at the ocean. Blake blinks and looks over her right shoulder, somewhat startled. Two kids laugh over a joke. The duo almost smiles and turns to look back at the ocean. Blake knew her checkered past was coming for her and she somehow knew that Akane had a bone to pick with her and Adam. She was worried scared even as she only remembered one hybrid of human and Faunus among the White Fang and in her home town. There she had seen a little girl hated and taunted by her peers for her mix breed and she remembered Adam at the time helping those kids in ruining and humiliating her.

It was after the Battle of Beacon that Blake was able to even remember the girl as she only knew her do to one simple fact. She didn't do anything to help her as Blake saw for all her boasts of equality she was a hypocrite due to refusing to help a half breed who was proof humans and Faunus could get along and live as equals. She ran away to protect her friends but she also ran to find information of her own to see if Akane truly was who she thought she was.

Then footsteps approached Blake catching her off guard as she saw this. "Travelling alone?" The man asked as he looked to Blake who quickly got ready for battle as she was startled by him as she saw he was clearly the captain of this vessel.

"Oh…" Blake said as she saw she may have made a mistake.

The Captain held up his hands in a reassuring manner. "Now, now, no threat here. Just here to chat." He said as Blake began to lower her guard before him.

"And why is that?" Blake asked as she looked to the captain as she wasn't very trusting right now.

The Captain lowers his arms and then twists to lean idly onto the rail. "Well, not many people travel by boat on their own. It can be quite a lonely voyage. But I found those that do tend to have the more… interesting stories." He said as he knew Blake must have some stories to share.

Blake turns away from the Captain. "Maybe it's just… better for some people to just be alone." Blake said before some kids ran by startling Blake even more.

The Captain laughed. "Maybe, but with your paranoia, I think a few friendly faces wouldn't hurt." He said once he was done laughing as he looked to Blake.

"Who says I'm paranoid?!" Blake huffed with tick marks on her head not liking to be called out on something even if it was true.

The Captain laughs again. "No one, dear, no one. I'll leave you be. But uh, fair warning: these trips can be awfully boring." The Captain called out as he began to walk away again.

Once he's gone, she turns and looks at the ground for a few seconds before reaching up and undoing her bow. As she looked at her bow she then knew what was needed to be done for her destination in mind. "Won't be needing this." Blake said as she then let's go and watches the ribbon swirl in the air once before landing on the water.

As Blake walked away though unknown to her a hooded figure is shown to be watching them from a distance. Beside the ribbon on the ocean, the large scales of a sea creature are seen moving just above the surface. After they pass, the ribbon is gone.

(In Menagerie)

Akane was walking about as she glared at any Faunus who gave her the stink eye as she had a look of warning torts them. They screw with her they die simple as that and she had the power to make it so. Akane of course kept walking not caring who got in her way as she walked to a destination in mind. As much as she hated to go back or to even be back in Menagerie she knew she needed to pay her respects to a certain someone.

It wasn't long till Akane arrived at a boarded up home as she looked at the plate on it and saw the name. "Ketsueiki," was what it said as Akane knew this place better than anyone.

"My old home." Akane said as she entered it and saw the place had clearly seen better days. As Akane walked in she saw the door was locked before she saw the loose floorboard and opened it up pulling out a key. Once she had the key she inserted it and opened the door happy the locking mechanism still worked after all this time. She walked inside as she was grateful that Hazel have her some time to herself to visit her childhood home or in this case her childhood nightmare.

As Akane walked around she saw the house was covered in dust and dust sheets as it looked like a child use to live here as she knew her father and herself lived here alone. As she walked around she saw the old sofa and tore the sheet off and sat down on it and saw the TV was there. She then found the old remote and turned the TV on as she looked to it and saw black. No doubt with her father gone cable bill was never paid for among other bills, and most of all she noted that the lights weren't working at all meaning the bills were never paid. Not like he ever cared enough for that.

Akane walked around a bit more as she noted the old house as she saw flashes of herself as a child running around here playing with her dolls or her ball as she was an active child back then. But those memories were quickly connected to seeing her father come home late while she had to fend for herself as he came home either hurt or drunk. Akane swore sometimes she was going to starve before her father got home and she named many times she got sick that was the only time her father got a doctor for her.

She walked around a bit more and saw the old kitchen and saw phantom images of herself as a child learning to cook and burning herself a couple times before getting it right no doubt to try feeding herself. Of course her father did cook from time to time but Akane knew as well that her father wasn't a model father. He was uncaring and more focused on other things then his own daughter. Akane let her hand grace upon the counter as her outfit through updated to cover more as well as match with Nexus and her coming position on the White Fang she could still remember the pain and loneliness she felt.

Akane walked around a bit more noting the phantom images from outside of herself as a child playing alone in the backyard or herself coming home from school after her father never came to pick her up and the fact she had to wait out in the rain a couple times for his return or for him to wake up to let her in.

Akane in the end was a survivor and she knew this world hated her even if her father wasn't father of the year. She hated her father and loved him at the same time, she hated him for not being the father she needed in her life but loved him that his act of fatherly loved saved her life in the end. As Akane arrived at her old bedroom she saw it was just like she remembered when she was a child. She walked over to the bed and sat on it allowing it to bounce a bit before laying down and saw her old angel storybook. She took it and held it close to her chest for a moment before she began weep as she knew what the truth was.

Her father was gone, her birth mother didn't want her, and most of all she was going to be losing her surrogate mother soon. She didn't want to lose any more things but she knew it had to be done and she knew that at least Nexus will be there for her after all was said and done.

(Meanwhile in Patch)

Yang Xiao Long and Iris Merlot were seen sitting on a green couch in her home on Patch. She looks at the stack of three books on her right and instead picks up the remote control to her left. "Yang you ok?" Iris asked as she was concerned for Yang after all.

"Yeah... I'll be fine." Yang said as she tried not to worry the Silver Eyed Girl here. "Wanna watch some TV?" Yang asked as Iris nodded in response as she wanted to see some cartoons. With a click, the projected scene comes on, revealing a news segment from the VBC channel.

Glynda Goodwitch is shown unsuccessfully piecing together a building. Across the bottom of the screen it reads: "BEACON INACCESSIBLE."

"...with no end in sight. Try as they might, the local Huntsmen and Huntresses can't seem to get a hold of the situation at Beacon Academy."

Yang clicks the remote. As the next reporter speaks, the large lettering across the screen are slowly revealed backward, from the perspective of someone facing Yang. It reads: CCT Repairs "Underway". The subheading reads: Atlas officials working on solution, but not optimistic.

"...though the fail safes have supported wireless communication within the kingdom, the loss of the CCT Tower continues to prevent contact with the outside world. Talks with Atlas officials regarding repairs have so far—"

Yang clicks again, cutting off the reporter and bringing up yet another news segment. A horned anchorman speaks above the caption: Sending Citizens Home. The corner caption has the logo for VOX News.

"...Vale council voted this week to continue to ban any air traffic that does not have a direct correlation with evacuation. The council has made it clear that they feel—"

Yang clicks again. Her eyes widen and she sits up.

"Multiple rumors continue to circulate as to who was behind the attacks at the Vytal Festival Tournament." Lisa states.

The screen shows anchor Lisa Lavender and the VNN logo. The caption below her reads: WHITE FANG MEMBER, ADAM TAURUS, PRESENT DURING BEACON GRIMM ATTACK.

"While no one knows for sure, officials have confirmed that high-ranking White Fang member, Adam Taurus…" Adam's image appears on the screen at his name being spoken. "...was present for the attack. Any and all attempts to bring him into custody have been met with brutal force—"

Iris then took the remote and turned off the TV as Yang saw this. "Let's... do something different." Iris said as she noticed how all the happy atmosphere when she was being fostered here was all gone as if it was sucked right out of the house after Beacon fell.

"Like What?" Yang asked as Iris looked to her trying to think of something.

"I don't know something." Iris said as she looked to Yang wondering where Raymond was when you needed him.

Yang then sighed as she sat down just as the door opened as someone arrived. "We're home!" A voice chimed as Yang then leaned back and saw her dad and Raymond carrying things inside. Raymond was now wearing a hoodie under a shoulder pad on his right arm and a gauntlet on his left arm with Goruba on it. He replaced his normal pants with jeans that had armored boots, knee guards, and pouches on the belt area as his hoodie and armor had the symbol of Zero on it. Raymond also allowed his hair to grow some that it reached to his upper back allowing him to pill it into a sort of warrior tail or braided tail though right now it was a more samurai like tail.

"Hey, dad hey, Raymond." Yang greeted them as the two were carrying the items in as Raymond closed the door behind them.

"Guess what came in today!" Tai called out as he began to put the items down as Tai heard this.

"What?" Yang asked as she saw Tai looked exited.

"I can't wait for you to try this." Tai said as Raymond help him put the things away.

"What is it Mr. Xiao Long?" Iris asked as she was curios as she wasn't fully rehabilitated but she was good enough to walk on her own for a bit.

"Be patient Iris and you will see." Raymond said as the present was for Yang after all.

Taiyang soon returned after putting the things away, carrying one long white box. He sets it on the coffee table in front of Yang, revealing the Kingdom of Atlas symbol on it she looks at it and doesn't move.

"Well?" Taiyang asked eager to hear what his daughter has to say.

"It's… for me?" She asked looking at her father and Raymond.

Taiyang nods. "For you and you alone." Raymond commented as he was a major part of this thing.

Yang lifts the lid off the box to reveal a robotic right arm. Yang looks it over, somewhat wide-eyed while her father gushes. She blinks and her eyes droop a bit, revealing she's more distressed than pleased. "Brand new, state of the art Atlas tech. You know, I thought I was gonna have to pull some strings, call in a few favors, but you earned this one all on your own, kiddo." He said with his hands on his hips but Raymond saw she wasn't pleased about it.

"Huh?" Yang asked as she looked up confused at what her father said.

"Before I could even talk to him, General Ironwood already had one of his top scientists working on this, for you. He wanted me to tell you that you fought admirably. You should be proud of yourself." Taiyang said as he looked to Yang but Raymond spoke up.

"But before it could arrive I got my hands on it first and had a few Alchemist I knew do some work on it modifications and such basically with you that thing will take on anything Grimm or Horror." Raymond said as he looked to Yang. "But it was a request from me and as far as the Order is concerned this Madou Tool arm isn't one of theirs." Raymond said revealing he broke a rule for Yang at the very least.

Yang of course was met with silence as Iris saw it as she had stars in her eyes at it. "So are you going to try it on?" Iris asked as she wanted to see Yang try it on.

Yang then sighed as she knew these three meant well after all. "I uh… I'm not feeling too great right now. Maybe later?" Yang offered as this caused Taiyang to deflate a bit and puts his hand to the back of his neck as he sighs and considers how best to respond.

"Well, alright." He said as Raymond nodded to her as well.

Yang gets up and walks up the stairs, Taiyang giving her an encouraging smile as she passes in front of him. She pauses partway up the steps, turning in his direction. "Thanks, Dad." Yang said as Raymond saw her walk away as he knew she was suffering.

"The Inga she is producing is becoming very notable." Goruba said once Yang was out of ear shot.

"Yeah that's Horror pheromone right?" Tai asked as he was worried for Yang as he was informed on all the Horror stuff prior to this.

"Yeah I've been finding myself locating Gates a lot around here that I had the Watchdog and Alchemist put powerful wards on the property to keep it from happening." Raymond said as Iris shuddered remembering meeting the Horrors in question. "Anyway I'll be outside chopping some wood and training." Raymond said as he left to help around the house as he wasn't going to freeload around the house.

"And I'll go clean up my room." Iris said as she left as for a moment Tai swore he saw Ruby when she was Iris' age.

(Later outside)

Later, Yang sweeps the porch, adept at it with one arm. She pauses to wipe her brow and sigh as she then looked and saw Raymond practicing his Kata's as nearby was a pile of chopped up firewood as Raymond kept practicing with Iris watching as he was doing it against a training dummy. Raymond then jumped back from a kick before pulling out his spear and used it as a bow staff as he spun it around and hit the dummy even more. Yang then sighed in depression as she saw Raymond still had that resolve and in comparison she was weaker then him.

(Later some)

Yang and Iris were now getting mail from the mailbox down the driveway as Yang looked at one but tucked them under her arm as Iris looked to Yang concerned for her as Yang tried to be happy even if her happiness was a mask to keep her turmoil hidden. The two began to make their way back into the house as Yang wondered if this was how Iris felt when she was still heavy in recovery.

(Later inside)

Raymond, Iris, and Yang were helping clean the dishes as Yang handled the first part while Raymond dried the dishes with a rag being patient about it. But Raymond seemed a bit tired due to the fact with the Grimm and Horrors in Vale being at an all-time high it made sense that he was being called to do double duty lately.

As she lifts it out of the sink, it slips out of her fingers and she gasps. When it hits the floor and breaks, it triggers a flashback. Against blackness there's a gray slash moving from upper left to bottom right and the red markings from Adam's mask glow while the sound of a sword loudly resonates. In the kitchen, Yang rears back with a cry. She clings to the countertop and pants, out of breath due to fright.

"Yang!" Raymond and Iris called out as they went over to her to check on her.

"Are you ok?" Iris asked as Raymond was worried for her.

"Y-yeah." Yang said as she was on her feet again as she then hit her fist on the countertop. "Yeah I just need a minute." Yang said as she didn't know what was scarier Nexus and his monstrous power or what Adam did to her.

'She's not ok.' Raymond mentally thought as he knew there had to be a way to break Yang from this ruck she was in.

(Back with Blake on the boat)

It is dusk, and the boat continues its journey on the smooth water. There is still peaceful bird cry, and Blake was once again on the middle deck looking out at the ocean. A Faunus couple walk behind her and Blake watches them, slightly less twitchy than before. It's when she's about to leave that she senses she is being watched by someone on the upper deck. It's the hooded figure, and she immediately takes out Gambol Shroud.

"Whose there!?" Blake demanded as she glared at the foe in question as the hooded figure turns and runs for it, blonde hair somewhat visible beneath the hood. Blake stares up at the deck, no longer watching the ocean. She does not notice the dorsal fins of a giant sea creature momentarily surface. However, she feels the boat rocking on the wake it created and let out a grunt as she tries to keep her balance. The creature's long-necked shadow looms over Blake as she turns around to face the water. Its shadow also falls on a member of the crew on duty in the crow's nest, who is looking up at it in horror.

"RED ALERT!" A random crew member cried.

The alert immediately sounds. Two red lights next to a speaker pulse with the sound. The Captain and his First Mate come running out and look at the water from the upper deck, just above Blake. The Captain murmurs as the shadow falls over him.

The Captain's eyes widen. "By the gods…" The Captain said as he saw the large creature in question as he knew trouble had just arrived.

The long-necked creature is revealed to be a large sea dragon Grimm. It has a pattern of glowing red lines along the scales of its neck, and its eyes glow yellow. The Grimm swings its head back and forth, roaring and spreading its short forearms outward. The Captain turns and calling out to the ship. "All hands to battle stations!" He ordered as he was jumping into action.

"Sir, we've never fought a Grimm this big!" The First Mate cried in horror.

"We've never seen something this big! But we'll give 'er a fight nonetheless!" The Captain said with a grin holding his hat.

Meanwhile Blake jumped into action as she running off the boat and into the air passing by a cloaked figure who was eating a meal not even bothering with the situation going on. She creates one of her clones to give her added upward momentum, flinging Gambol Shroud forward in its kusarigama form. Attached to the ribbon on her wrist, it embeds itself into the Grimm's neck, then Tails sent electricity shocking the Grimm. Blake swings above the Grimm and shoots it in the back of its neck as it roars. Blake lands on the crow's nest while the Captain steers from the bridge. He keeps the ship stabilized in the Grimm's wake and steps outside to get another look at it.

Blake still shoots it while it arcs back into the water. The side of the ship opens up and the cannons come out. Blake continues her assault on the sea creature, once again swinging and shooting. The ship's cannons fire but are mostly ineffective. Blake falls back onto the ship's deck, lands on her back, bounces, and quickly gets herself back onto her feet. She discovers that her left shoulder is hurt when she moves to stand.

All the while the chaos was going on cloaked figure just kept eating his foot not even caring that lives were in danger. "Hold steady men, it's not done with us yet! GET THE HEAVY CANNON LOADED!" The Captain said as the First Mate changes from being nervous to battle-ready upon hearing this order.

The largest cannon on the ship rises up through a trapdoor on the deck, extends itself, and aims at the Grimm. The Grimm's dorsal fin splits apart and extra bone unfolds, revealing two wings. The dragon lets out a roar as it flies, its beating wings sending a gush of air at the ship. Blake cries out as she hangs on with her hurt left arm.

(With the Captain)

"Heavy cannon, OPEN FIRE!" The captain ordered as his crew followed the orders.

(Battle)

The heavy cannon shoots, but the Grimm easily evades it. It opens its mouth and an electric ball forms. Blake was about to go at it but then felt a foot on her head as she yelped in shock. "Hey!" She cried out as soon the first cloaked figure was shown to be Sun as he jumped torts the Grimm and while in midair, he activates his energy clones. Blake's eyes widen in shock at who she saw. "Sun?!" Blake called out in shock as she saw Sun had been the one following her.

Sun and his clones land on the Grimm's head. The two clones pull on the topmost tendrils of the head while Sun grabs its upper lip. "Not today, pal!" Sun yelled as he held on tight as when the dragon releases its electric blast, it goes harmlessly into the air, rather than at the ship.

"What are you doing?!" The Cat Faunus asked currently surprised to see Sun here.

From atop the enraged Grimm's snout, Sun answers her while holding onto the two tendrils his now-disappeared clones had grabbed.

Sun sweat drops. "Oh, uh, you know, just… hanging out!" Sun called out as he tried to hold on but the Grimm manages to get a small electrical charge around Sun and he lets go, shouting as he falls. Blake gasps and immediately springs into action again. She jumps onto and off the railing, using Gambol Shroud's kusarigama form on the crow's nest to swing herself around and catch Sun midair. They land on nearby rocks, with her holding him bridal style. Sun placed his hand to his heart. "My hero!" Sun praised but Blake wasn't having any of it.

Blake narrowed her eyes at him. "You're not supposed to be here!" She scolded as she glared at Sun.

Sun had a deadpan expression. "Yeah!? Well it looks like you can use all the help you can get!" Sun argued back as he gestured to the large Grimm attacking.

Blake glares at him and then rolls her eyes. "Ugh. Just shut up and fight!" She drops him before she began jumping back to the boat leaving Sun there.

"Yes ma'am!" Sun called out as he had one thought on his mind. 'The things I do for love.' He mentally said as he saw her go off.

(Command Deck)

On the ship, the Captain is steering while two of his crew are looking at displays. "Starboard defenses are down, sir!" The First Mate stated as that as bad news for them.

"We still got the heavy cannon?" The Captain asked as that was there heavy hitter for this thing.

"Aye, but it's moving too fast! We can't land a hit!" A crew member said as that was the drawback of the heavy cannon.

Captain grits his teeth. "Argh. How about the engines?" The Captain asked as he looked to his First Mate.

First Mate nods with a smile. "Fully functional, Captain!" she replied as that was some good news to hear as well.

"Well alright, then!" The Captain grins as he may have an idea on what to do.

(Battle)

On the deck, Blake is preparing to counter a hit from the Grimm's electric blast, but Sun jumps in between with a laugh of triumph. He uses Ruyi Bang and Jingu Bang to deflect it and lands on the heavy cannon, resting his staff on his shoulder with a crooked grin. But then a roar was heard after a hit from the beast as they looked and saw how it was a human roar as they saw the cloaked figure or his lack of lunch as he began to get up as by his movement he was ticked off.

"Hey!" The new guy called out as he glared at the Grimm. "I was just trying to enjoy my lunch during the voyage and then you! Had to come around and ruin it by knocking it overboard!" He roared out as Sun and Blake saw him move.

"Who the Hell is this guy?" Sun asked as the man walked past him.

"So now not only do I have to deal with you! But now I have to go the rest of this damn voyage without a proper meal!" The man called out as he then grabbed his cloak and tore it off as it revealed a Faunus as he had a tattoo under his left eye as well as Madou Robes that looked to be more torn as there were arm bands on the arm sleeves, armored boots and shoulders, fingerless gloves, and most of all his coat seemed to have a lot of zippers on it. This guy was a dog type of Faunus as he grinded his claws on the ship bars as on his head were a set of dog ears with white hair.

"So get ready ugly because I'm about to send you on a one way trip to pain town population YOU!" The man yelled as he flipped out over one ruined meal. "Doruba strategy now!" The man ordered revealing his Madou Bracelet as it looked a lot like Goruba.

"Kehehehe! Losing your cool over a ruined meal how amusing of you, Inuken but if you want to take that creature down take out its wings." Doruba said to the no identified Inuken.

"Got it." Inuken said as he got ready for battle.

"Another Makai Knight?" Blake asked as she saw him as she knew a Madou Tool when she saw one thanks to Team GARO.

"Huntsmen!" The Captain was heard as the trio of Inuken, Sun, and Blake looked over to him as he had come out onto the upper deck calling them. "If you can clip its wings and draw it out towards the bow, we could take it!" The Captain said looking at the three as Inuken got that much.

Blake turns away from the Captain to look up at Sun and Inuken as she didn't know if she could trust him. "Get that thing into position and I'll get the wings." Inuken said as he glared at the Grimm with his topaz colored eyes.

"Well you two are the ones who has swords right now." Sun said as Inuken rolled his eyes as Blake sighed in frustration.

"He's with you?" He asked as Blake rolled her eyes to him.

"Not now." Blake said as she got ready to move.

Sun spins his weapon back into a holstered position and runs toward the Grimm. "Now or never!" Sun called out as he then activated three clones and jumps into the air. The first clone springs Blake upward to the second clone, which does the same. The third clone swings her up. Sun waits, laughing and opening up his arms, but then loses his smile in confusion.

Blake then directed herself above him and lands on his shoulders. They sink a few feet while he grunts and Blake leaps upward off of him. Blake then saw the Grimm before glaring at it as she then charged downward torts it as she avoided the Grimm's Blast attacks at her. Meanwhile Inuken roared out as he was flying straight for the Grimm as he held his Makai Ken at the ready as it was almost like he was hiking on the air as he went for a wing. Soon Inuken and Blake passed by each other as they took out a wing each clipping the Grimm to keep it from flying anymore.

The two began to fall back to the ground as Inuken then flipped to land on his feet as Blade did the same as soon the two landed as Sun was able to catch Blade Bridal style with a smirk. Inuken meanwhile landed on the ground creating a crater as it seemed he was stun for a moment but got back to his feet. "This is the part where you say it." Sun said as he held Blake as she then rolled her eyes to him.

"Heads up." Inuken said as soon the trio lost their footing as the Grimm wasn't done with them just yet as the two began to jump away.

"Okay maybe later!" Sun called out before he began to jump to safety.

"I got the rest from here!" Inuken called out as he began to maneuver himself to take the Serpent on himself.

"What are you going to do?!" Sun asked the stranger as Inuken smirked as he then got closer to the Grimm as he then had his Makai Ken at the ready.

"Something that should have been done to start!" Inuken called out as he then got to a rock where he saw the Dragon was coming straight at him. "Let's end this in 99.9 seconds." Inuken said as he then cut open two energy circles in the form of a helix as when he did they opened up shining down a silver light upon him.

The dragon was upon him as soon armor shot out of the portal as soon the Dragon was knocked back by a Kris like blade as it roared at the figure. When Blake and Sun saw it for a moment they thought they were seeing someone else as Blake was the first to note it.

"Dan?" Blake asked as she was in shock to it.

"Can't be that guy is silver!" Sun called out as he was with Blake at the moment.

"Actually." The new Knight began as he looked to the Grimm. "I'm the Silver Lotus Knight..." The Knight began as he then charged at the Grimm and slashed at it causing it to roar in pain from the soul metal as when he did his Makai Seal appeared behind him as he glared at his foe.

"ZANGA!" Zanga roared out as he landed on another Earth Pillar that was still standing as he glared at his foe.

The Dragon roared at Zanga and began firing at him but he easily avoided the attacks by air hiking to avoid them. As Zanga saw he was in a bad spot for a moment he was about to hit the Grimm only for the Ship to come out of nowhere and bash into it as the Captain was no doubt helping. Zanga then roared out and charged at the Grimm's head and stabbed into its neck before he spun around it and began running down its back cutting it in half. As he did this Zanga was then seen jumping off its tail as he was once more airborne as he saw what was next.

"Finish it!" Zanga roared out as he glared at this Grimm as it was roaring in pain from the injury it sustained.

(Command Deck)

Captain points at the monster. "Fire!" The Captain ordered as it was time to end this.

(Battle)

The heavy cannon fires and hits the Grimm dead on. Its upper half is blasted to pieces, and it dies immediately. The Captain, the First Mate and Crew Member 02 all cheer. The cheer is upheld by the passengers on the ship who also join in with applause.

(With Blake and Sun)

On their rock, Sun celebrates while Blake smiles and lowers her head in relief as Zanga returned and called off his armor as he reverted to Inuken as he sat down already missing his lunch.

Sun of course cheered as he then lifted his hand for a high five. "Up top!" Sun called out not wanting to be left hanging.

"You best run monkey boy you're in the dog house." Doruba said as Inuken agreed as Blake then turned to Sun and glared at him. With a cry, Blake swings her arm around to slap him in the face. He rears back in slow-motion and the screen goes black, with to the sound of her hand making contact with his flesh.

(Scene Break that Night)

It is nighttime on the middle deck of the ship. Blake is at the railing again, only this time facing sideways. "Seriously, it was no big deal!" Sun huffs as it was revealed he was talking to the two Faunus Passengers on the ship. "Just enjoy the rest of your trip and everything will be cool! We got this!" Sun said as he walked over to Blake and Inuken as the two Faunus, a male with horns and a female with rabbit ears who we saw earlier, wave goodbye and turn away.

"So I'm guessing your Blake Belladonna right?" Inuken asked as he was leaning on the wall as she glared at him a bit.

"Who wants to know?" Blake asked as Inuken then took out a red letter and light it to ashes revealing a message.

"By orders of the Vale Watchdog the listed Members of Team RWBY Weiss Schnee Blake Belladonna are to both be located and monitored by a bodyguard due to the fact that a group of Fallen Priests and Knights have targeted them." Inuken said as the message with his orders then vanished. "I am to assume you're one of those members since at most one Fallen Priestess has made both you and Ms. Schnee her target. So in other words I'm your bodyguard." Inuken said as Blake looked as she glared at him. "The name is Inuken Tsuki at your service." Inuken introduced as Blake noted how the name translated to Moon Dog Blade.

"Someone from Gold's team made the request didn't he?" Blake asked as Inuken then shrugged.

"No clue just following orders kid." Inuken said as Blake then rolled her eyes as she saw Sun walk up to them no doubt hearing everything.

"You'd think they'd never seen a fight before." Sun said with a sigh as he walked to the group.

"What are you doing here, Sun?" Blake asked as she looked to Sun.

"Diggin' the new outfit, by the way!" He states pointing to her ears with a flirtatious grin. "Never did like the bow." Sun said as he was being a bit of a flirt with Blake as she then slapped his hand away.

"Sun! Have you been following me?" Blake asked as she glared at Sun as he looked a bit ashamed of it but he had a good reason.

"I saw you run off. The Night Beacon Tower Fell." Sun said as Blake looked shocked by this as her angered look went away. "Once we landed in Vale, you made sure everyone was ok and then you just took off without saying anything." Sun said as he looked to Blake as no doubt he had his reasons.

"I had to... you wouldn't understand." Blake said as Inuken then growled a bit as he looked to them.

"Let me guess White Fang and some of its members as well as the Fallen Priestess have brought up some bad memories for you that you need to sort things out at Home." Inuken said as Sun and Blake looked to him in shock.

"How did you?" They asked as Inuken then looked to them.

"Reason 1... I've been tailing you since Vale... and Reason 2 this boat is heading to Menagerie." Inuken explained as he looked to Blake and Sun as they looked surprised by this.

"Wait since Vale!?" Blake asked as she was shocked at how she didn't pick up on him.

"Yes if you have a problem then try to throw me overboard just know I'll still sniff you out." Inuken said as he sat down while looking to Blake as if almost daring her to try.

"Well, I'm coming with you. The Grimm are getting worse; you saw it yourself! And just because you're not going after the Fang doesn't mean they won't be coming for you! Besides, I'm… kind of already on the boat." Sun said with a smirk as Inuken saw this as Blake looked to Sun and the new friend here.

"There's really no stopping you?" Blake asked Sun as Inuken agreed with him on this.

"Nope! This is going to be great! Never been to Menagerie before! It'll be a regular journey to the east! Yeah, I like the sound of that." Sun said with his smirk getting wider as Inuken then sighed.

"What have I gotten myself into?" Inuken as he was heard face palming himself.

(With Nexus at Salem's lair)

Nexus was training as he was slashing and hacking at every Grimm that came his way as he dealt with each of them with trained ease. But as he did this he then saw a Grim grabbed and bite down on his injured arm as he roared out and shot it in the head and then cut another in half. They kept coming as Nexus roared out hitting every single one of them with ease. Soon a new voice was heard as it was one Nexus knew very well.

"Nexus enough!" Salem ordered as the Grimm then all stopped there attack as Nexus glared at her.

"Don't get in my way." Nexus growled as he grabbed his arm forcing his Semblance and Aura to heal it but the injuries he sustained weren't healing fast enough for him before he roared out falling to his knees.

"Nexus." Salem began as she hovered over to Nexus and pulled his sleeve up revealing the scar and injuries opened once more as she began to focus her power on healing the immediate damage. "Nexus pushing yourself like this won't accelerate your recovery." Salem scolded as Nexus looked away as she then looked to him knowing he was being a bit rebellious right now.

"Nexus despite what I say about Cinder you are the key to our victory but the fact the Silver Eyes and Golden Armor affected you this way the only way you can stand a chance is at full strength and with an equalized to even out the playing fields." Salem said as Nexus glared at her.

"And I suppose you have a suggestion in mine?" Nexus scoffed as he glared at Salem as she glared back.

"Watch your tone and I do have several suggestions but I need to look deeper into them before putting them into effect." Salem said as she looked to her son... her child. "Come." Salem began as she knew Nexus needed another treatment. "You're going to need another infusion." Salem said as she looked to Nexus as she was truly concerned for him.

"Double the dosage." Nexus said as Salem heard this. "If I can't heal through strength then I need another way." Nexus said as he wasn't going to lose he wasn't weak he was the ultimate life form and those who stand in his way will suffer for it... save for the Golden Knight no one is allowed to kill Garo save for time or Nexus himself. Nexus then stood up as Salem tried to help him but he refused her aid. "How is Cinder doing?" Nexus asked as he was forced to stay here with Cinder and her cohorts till she recovered with Nexus.

"She has some... difficulties but... so far she is making progress much like how you are." Salem said as Nexus then gritted his teeth as he wasn't going to let Cinder be stronger then him as this was her fault to begin with.

"Triple my dosage then I must get my strength back." Nexus said as the Seer saw this while floating in as Nexus glared at it. "Order the Grimm in the nearby villages to destroy and capture as many of their denizens as they can." Nexus said as Salem saw what Nexus was planning as did Zarathos.

The Seer nodded surprising Salem even more as she saw her son was already commanding the Grimm like it was second nature for him. "Now then my dosage." Nexus said as Salem nodded to her son as they walked side by side as her arm moved to him holding him close as they walked much like how a mother would her beloved child.

"Of course and when it's done we'll learn what hole Ozpin is hiding and flush him out like the rat he is." Salem said as Nexus then grinned at this as he smirked.

"I can't wait." Nexus said as he wasn't really concerned with Ozpin now the Golden Knight was hit target wherever he was hiding right now.
