-POV Kiran O' Donnell-
"You want me to give you the two who attacked Amber to you. After you stopped me from recruiting Ms. Schnee?" Ozma said. I nodded.
"Why do you need to recruit her anyways? Her combat abilities ain't it and you have Glynda for paperwork and something tells me you won't recruit someone to help her. Unless you're looking for someone to replace Glynda?" I said. Ozma groaned.
"Glynda is a valued member of my team but Hunters die young." Ozma said.
"Ozma, she's a teacher. Unless you're sending her to the Grimmlands during the summer she's not going to keel over any time soon. Besides that I caught them and I want to strike a deal with Salem. If I can't get to her base to kill her I will make peace with her. Or at least try to do something." I said. Ozma groaned.
"You can't reason with someone who's gone mad." Ozma said. I scoffed at him.
"She hasn't gone mad yet. Not any more than you have." I said. Ozma groaned and pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Fine. Take them. I don't care anymore. Just get out." Ozma said. I grinned. Taking the elevator down the tower Amber greeted me from the other side with a hug.
"Hey. Good to see you." Amber said after finally releasing me. Don't mess with her do not.
"Something tells me it's more than good for you." I said. Amber blushed and sputtered out an excuse. Fuck she still likes me. Grinning I laughed as she muttered something about Cinder and Emerald. I followed her as she walked through the halls and down a few stairwells to a heavily guarded room. A guard unlocked the door and opened it for us to walk into.
"Welcome to the Freezer." Amber said. There were rows and rows of stasis pods like they put Raven in only each of them were filled with a different person. It was a necromancers dream.
No. I will not let you revive people with these bodies.
Kabuto had a Reanimation Jutsu. It definitely was less powerful than the perfect revive.
New Skill gained! Summoning: Reanimation!
Summoning: Reanimation (Active)
A Jutsu created by the infamous Kabuto Yakushi while he was working with the Akatsuki in the Fourth Great Ninja War. Reanimates a dead person with a small boost to all physical stats and a large boost to HP, MP, Aura, and a massive boost to HPR. Chr is decreased significantly and affection is much harder to obtain. Costs 100,000 MP. Remember to fill out the paperwork beforehand!
Kiran no.
Kiran yes.
"Um… Your drooling." Amber said.
"Sorry. Remind me to ask Ozma next time I need a body." I said. Amber looked freaked out by that.
-5 Affection with Amber
"What do you mean bodies?" Amber said. I rolled my eyes. Forgot she's not as willing to kill people. It's good to have someone who's sane be the Maiden especially since Ozma's group is ruthless.
"Each of these people are here because they are criminals. I could use something like wood, earth, or any number of things to create a body but the best course of action is using a dead body. Nothing fuels a human soul like a human body. I'll ask them what they did to end up in the freezer and use a truth spell to make sure they don't lie but the guilty ones will be used for my spells." I said. Amber looked shocked.
-20 Affection with Amber
"That's cruel." Amber said.
"Let's ask this guy." I said, walking over to a chamber that held a guy that looked remarkably like Jason from Never Hike Alone. As I opened it he came out and coughed into his hand before waving away the mist.
"I'm surprised. I doubt I'm getting released." He said. His voice was deep and gravely unsurprisingly.
"What did you do to get locked up?" I asked, staring into his eyes. His face went blank.
New Spell created! Truth no Lies!
Truth no Lies (Active)
A spell that forces the target to say only the truth. Target must make an Int and Wis save or they will answer any question asked with complete honesty. Costs 1,000 MP per second.
"I killed six families. Attracted a horde of Grimm and destroyed a settlement. When the hunters were dispatched to capture me I killed two of them." He said. I looked at Amber pointedly. Grabbing the scroll I used to contain Raven off my back I put Jason in one premade rune circles. I had made four more. I doubt I'll use all of them but it pays to be prepared.
"Who are you going to revive with that?" Amber asked.
"Summer Rose. She knows the other Silver Eyes and hopefully can train them better than the others. Also do you know where I could contact Maria Cala something or other? I remember she had silver eyes from the visions but I can't remember her name." I said. Amber shrugged.
"She cut ties with Ozpin's group years ago. You might be able to find her in Vacuo but I really don't know. If you want to find her she does go to Pietro Polendina to get her prosthetics fixed once or twice a year." Amber said. That's the guy that made Penny. He'll be in Vale during the Vytal festival but until then I'm going to need a new way to contact him. I could take a train there but I also don't want to be anywhere near Mantle or Atlas. I suppose a quick stop couldn't hurt. I'd need to convince Neo to watch the bar with Alister though. Sending a quick text to the group chat I went down the rows.
"Okay who is this?" I said. It was literally Freddy. Fucking Freddy goddamn Krueger. From Nightmare on Elm Street is sitting in a stasis pod in front of me.
"Fredrick Kalsor. His Semblance, Dream Weaver, allowed him to kill people in their sleep. Lost a lot of Hunters to him. Please do take him." Amber said. Putting the scroll down in front of the pod and opening the door I activated it instantly getting him in before he even realised he was free.
"Okay now let's grab the wannabe Maiden and Illusionist." I said. Amber chewed her cheek before sighing.
"Over here. Ozpin has a separate room for Salem's lakeys." Amber said. Walking over to it we walked inside. The only two stasis pods were filled with them. Dropping them into the scroll one by one I stretch before dropping it back in the sling and placing it on my back.
"I don't think you should do this to them. But I won't stop you." Amber said. I sighed.
"Thank you. If I didn't have to I wouldn't but they chose to use their lives to make others lives worse. I would rather have them dead than the people I'm gonna revive." I said. Amber nodded as we walked to the exit of Beacon in silence.
"Be safe." Amber said. I smiled.
"I'll be fine." I said. How much stronger is Amber? Observe.
Amber Fossilia The Once Fallen Maiden
HP: 1,000
MP: 250,000
Aura: 10,000
Amber Fossilia the Maiden who falls to Cinder. Originally. This time she was saved and is now more than happy to be alive and help people. Considered the 'weakest' of Ozma's group she is the strongest in terms of willpower and commitment. Stubborn as a bull and strong enough to back it up.
Affection: 35 / 100
Is her last name really a pun on Fossilize? Amber shivered.
"That magical info spell is very uncomfortable." Amber said.
"It works. Plus I wanted to see how strong you were. Try training your Aura a bit?" I said. Amber blushed.
"Well I guess I could use a bit more Aura." Amber said.
"A bit? Be safe Amber." I said, leaving. She waved to me as I left. Walking to the bar I got a few weird looks and a well meaning police officer asking what the scroll was. Turns out people don't ask a lot of questions when you say semblance.
Chuckling I went in the back of the bar and dropped down into the cellar. A quick perusal through the menu got me restocked on the liquor that was running low. Unrolling the scroll I released Raven. She wobbled slightly holding onto one of the shelves I installed down here before blinking. Stasis apparently has some ill effects.
"I'm surprised you didn't leave me there forever." Raven said.
"I need transportation and you are faster than any train in the world. Besides I doubt you'll run away when I can kick your ass into the next month with ease." I said. Raven narrowed her eyes.
"You can try." Raven said. She had evidently forgotten that she was unarmed.
"I used all of my magic on your tribe, you no longer have magic, and I have refined my magic to where I use… almost half the amount of magic I used to use. Look around you. We are in a dirt cellar. You say no, I kill you." I said. Raven sighed.
"Fine. I need a sword to create the portal and a location." Raven said. Shrugging I grabbed a katana from my inventory and tossed it to her. My inventory is bottomless and I wasn't sure what I was gonna use so I grabbed a few of everything.
"A little outside of Mantle. I send a text to this burner scroll when I need a portal back here." I said.
"Got it." Raven said, opening a portal to what appeared to be the outskirts of Mantle. Activating a premade illusion rune I drew with a sharpie on my arm, my appearance changed from the confident green purple and orange suit wearing man in nine inch heels to a tall brown haired irish boy who does not get nearly enough sun or sleep. Perfect. Walking through the portal and into Mantle most people's gaze slid past me and onto the next thing. Walking through the streets I came across what looked like Robbie's shop in Breath of the Wild… huh. Walking inside Pietro was walking around on his weird spider chair as an old lady sat on a stool with mechanical eyes.
"Hello there! Please wait just a moment and I can help you in a second!" Pietro said.
"Actually I'm here on behalf of Ozm- Ozpin. He wants to talk to you Mrs. Calavera." I said.
"I don't have my Silver Eyes anymore so what does he want with me?" She said.
"How much does Pietro know?" I asked. He laughed.
"I know everything. Including their attempts to make an immortal maiden with my daughter." Pietro said.
"Cool then I can just say this outright. I'm not with Ozma. I bring you back to your prime when you did have your Silver Eyes but you'd have to die first and the process doesn't exactly look pretty once it's over." I said.
"Why would I want my Silver Eyes back? Ozpin will bug me until I die for me to use them in his asinine fight against Salem." Maria said, getting off the stool and walking over to me.
"Because you would be working for me." I said, dropping the Illusion.
"Your that spider faunus Qrow mentioned. He did say you specialize in Death magic." Maria said.
"Death and Earth." I said. Maria laughed.
"Semantics. Either way I'll accept. Where should we do this?" Maria said.
"I have a basement. Let me lead you." Pietro said, leading us down a long flight of stairs. Maria jumped up onto another stool next to a table in the center of the room. Pietro nodded before going back upstairs.
"Alright first things first." I said. Removing the scroll from my back I released Freddy before killing him instantly. Maria didn't even flinch as I picked up the body and slapped it down on the table. Using a bit of magic I turned Freddy's burned and scarred visage into about what I thought Maria looked like back in her prime with a bit of help from her. First I turned the hair a stark white then made the body shorter and gave it curves, her idea not mine. Next I altered the eyes so they were Silver but I think the magic comes from the soul. Putting in the details it was finally done. The body was identical to a female body with the help of a few articles on anatomy from the internet. Drawing a few magic storage runes around the body I filled them up quickly before summoning Thanatos.
"Here. This is the paperwork you need to fill out to kill and resurrect Ms. Calavera. It needs to be turned in at least an hour before you revive her and she needs to be interviewed before you resurrect her." Thanatos said. I nodded before taking the two manilla folders of paperwork he had. Maria looked shocked.
"What did you think this was easy? Snap my fingers and bam infinite youth with a bit on top? No. Hades would have my neck if I tried that shit. Be glad we get to do Greek paperwork. Roman paperwork is all in latin." I said handing her the folder of paperwork she needed to fill out. Pietro returned to the basement a few moments after we had begun.
"Paperwork?" He said, confused. Maria sighed.
"Bureaucracy exists even in death." Maria said. Pietro said nothing, merely shrugging ang turning around to go back upstairs. We continued working through the paperwork before finally finishing.
"Here hold the paperwork. When you get to the river tell him 'fees are for the dead. I need to turn in this paperwork.' Got it?" I said. Maria nodded. I killed her quickly, the paperwork vanishing before it had the chance to hit the floor and scatter. Dropping her body in my inventory I waited as my magic slowly refilled. Thanatos stepped out a portal with Maria's spirit in tow.
"Okay. Silver Eyed Warrior of Remnant, Maria Calavera, royal guard of humanity. Which resurrection style are you picking?" Thanatos said.
"Summoning: Reanimation!" I said, with no small amount of theatrics. I played the Naruto Ninja Storm games too much to not enjoy saying that. A sickening feeling floated through the air as black chains launched from the bodies chest latching onto Maria before dragging her spirit into it as the magic slowly pushed into her. She began floating slightly as her eyes opened wide with the whites turning a shade of black that rivalled the void and her irises grew to a white only matched by the purest forms of light. She fell onto the table as she inhaled deeply.
"It feels good to be young again. Now let's get on with the show." Maria said. She had a small hairline fracture that ran across the bridge of her nose and split into branches but stopped before it reached too far. I'd say I did pretty good. Pulling a cloak and a domino mask out of my inventory I tossed them to her. She rolled her eyes before putting them on. Maria stepped out onto the shop's surface level she inhaled deeply through her nose before sighing and then shouting in joy.
"Maria! Good to see you back in good health." Pietro said.
"Yeah. Hey I need your honest opinion on this." I said, removing the domino mask from Maria's face. Pietro flinched backwards at the sight.
"Figured. Welp you wore a mask anyways right?" I said. Maria glarred without much hate before tossing her mask back on her face. Turning on my Illusion we waved to Pietro as we left the building and began walking to the edge of town.
"Hold on. Where exactly are we going?" Maria said.
"Friend of mine makes portals. Problem is she's also a bit wanted so I can't be seen working with her." I said. Maria nodded. As we trekked till we were out of sight from the camera's in Mantle I shot Raven a text.
Donny: Portal
Burner: On it
A portal appeared in front of us. Walking through it we were on the top floor of the bar with Raven lounging on the couch watching TV in the sort of living room I made. She had changed into a tank top and track pants while letting her hair down. Rolling my eyes at the cheesy soap opera Raven glanced at me.
"What? It's good." Raven said. Maria nodded in agreement.
"Agreed. Although I prefer Tears of a Maiden to A Sick Hunters Trail." Maria said, unclasping the cloak and taking off the domino mask. Raven raised an eyebrow at Maria's cracks and eyes but said nothing and looked completely unfazed.
"Alright. I just used more magic in the past three hours than I have in the past few months. I'm getting a drink, taking a nap, and if anyone wakes me up besides Neo they will die a slow and painful death twice." I said, tossing the scroll on the chair. Raven waved me off and Maria chuckled. It is weird seeing Old Lady mannerisms coming from someone in their mid twenties.
