Prologue: The Supreme Lion King
The sky is dark and the fractured moon along with the stars is shining brightly on the Forever Fall Forest. Standing on a cliff overlooking a White Fang camp stood a young woman wearing white armour with a long white cloak with a blue underside. She has long slightly spiky black hair that covers her left eye. Her hair also has a large pink streak. On top of her head is a golden crown showing to all that she is royalty. Her emotionless and tired amber eyes stayed locked on the camp.
The only sounds she can hear with her lion ears are the flapping of her cape and the sounds of the forest. Tucked under her arm is a lion head-shaped helmet with a white mane. She takes a breath and strokes her large white fur collar which is covering the hood of the cloak, "You're late. Explain yourself," the female monarch spoke with no emotion but her voice still carried a lot of power. She also has a bewitching accent that affects all who hear it.
"A-Apologies!" the knight clad in white armour said and stood perfectly straight, "I-I discovered a White Fang scout and I had to deal with them before they could inform their comrades of us!"
"Is that so?" the female king asked, still stroking her collar as if it was a pet. She looked over her shoulder and stared right at the knight who flinched. Though they are wearing a helmet, with her lion ears the female monarch can hear the clattering of their teeth. She can even smell their fear.
"Y-Yes!" Knight said with fear and nodded twice.
"So you say, member of the White Fang," the King said with an unamused voice and suddenly two humans appeared out of nowhere. They are wearing the same armour as the imposter knight. One is a green-haired female and the other is a grey-haired male. The male dashes at the knight and kicks them in the head. Sending them onto the ground and knocking their helmet off revealing they're a member of the White Fang.
"H-How?" the White Fang member asked in bewilderment.
"A few things tipped me off, one you didn't address me properly when approaching me. Two, my people don't fear me, only my enemies do. And three," the King turns around, walks up to the White Fang member and speaks with a menacing voice, "I can still smell the blood of my precious comrade you killed!" She growled and drew a katana called Yamato and ended the White Fang's member life with one clean swing.
Sheathing Yamato the king presses the earpiece that's in her human ear, "The White Fang killed one of our own, repaying them by slaughtering every single one of them! Don't let any of them escape!" she growls then puts on her helmet. The wind starts to pick up and rumblings of thunder can be heard.

"It will be done, my king!" a voice from the earpiece said and White Fang camp soon came under fire.
"Emerald! Mercury! The hunt begins!" the King said.
"Yes, my king!" Emerald and Mercury nod and put on their helmets.
An airship flies out head and drops down a rope. The King and her two followers grab them and are pulled up.
The White Fang was caught completely off guard then their camp was suddenly hit by artillery fire, and white Knights armed with weapons called Gunblades rushed in and started killing every White Fang member they saw. "Regroup! Regroup!" a high-ranking White Fang member shouts. They tried to lead their comrades out of the camp when a huge fireball crashed right in front of them. The force of the impact sends a few White Fang members flying.
Some got up and saw a figure in white lion-like armour standing in the flames. Through the eye, slit sees a pair of glowing red eyes and a black aura is coming off the armoured warrior, "It's the Supreme Lion King!" a White Fang member shouted in fear.
The flames burning the camp suddenly grew stronger and thicker. They are a few unfortunate White Fang members who got caught in the growing flames.
The Supreme Lion King grabs the handle of her katana and crouches down. Then with great speed, strikes down the high-ranking White Fang member with one swing. With no leader, the White Fang members panicked and tried to flee. But there is no escape, the flames and white knights blocked every way out.
Their chances of survival dropped even more when the Supreme Lion King's royal knights arrived. Each wears armour based on fabled knights of the round table, Lancelot, Gawain and Tristan.
The one wearing Lancelot's armour spins her rapier then stabs it on the and summons white Grimm with blue glowing eyes then orders them to attack the White Fang. A Schnee is helping the Supreme Lion King. Something that baffled the White Fang.
The one wearing Gawain's armour only used her fists and legs to fight. Each punch and kick carried enough strength to break the armour and masks of the White Fang with one blow. She did have a weapon, Adam's. She took from him after beating him in one on one combat. So now she wears his weapon on her hip like a trophy.
Finally, the one wearing Tristan's armour. The White Fang knows who she is, daughter of the Belladonnas and traitor of the White Fang. She showed no remorse for shooting at her former comrades with her black bow called the Belladonna. She doesn't have to worry about running out of arrows as she can make them with her aura. As long as her Aura is not broken, she can keep shooting.
So the slaughter of the White Fang began in the Forever Fall Forest. They tried to beg for their lives but the Supreme Lion King and her white knights showed no mercy. "This is for our fallen comrade!" the white Knights shouted with rage.
The White Knights also shouted with pride in their voice, "For the Supreme Lion King!"
"I knew killing her knight was a bad idea! I tried to warn them but will they listen? No!" a White Fang member said to themselves. They're hiding in a ruined tent and praying to god that they are not found. But they did and before the Supreme Lion King could strike them down, her blade was stopped by a chainsaw.
The White Fang lieutenant is still alive. "I never feared you!" the lieutenant growled.
"Then you'll die braver than most," the Supreme Lion King said with no emotion in her voice. She pushes the lieutenant back. He regains his footing and rushes at the Supreme Lion King. It was clear the lieutenant has a great amount of physical strength but that means nothing if he can't hit his opponent.
The Supreme Lion King is too fast for him and counters all his attacks with a move called Judgment cut. It struck hard and fast. The attack is doing heavy damage to his armour and his Aura. But he didn't give up, he just needed to find an opening and finally take down the Supreme Lion King.
But he can't find any, her form is flawless, her attacks are relentless and unlike him, is not showing any signs of fatigue. But he kept on fighting, the sight of the blood of his fallen comrades on the Supreme Lion King's armour drove him to keep going.
Soon the Supreme Lion King's royal knights joined the right. The royal knight who fights with her fists matched his strength and caught his weapon between her hands. She holds him still as the Supreme Lion King and the Schnee slashed at them with their swords. Belladonna followed up by shooting arrows at his chest.
"Ganging up on one foe, don't you have any honour?!" the White Fang lieutenant growled.
"We do but the likes of you don't deserve it," the Supreme Lion King said and she and her royal knights kept attacking the White Fang lieutenant.
Soon, his body reached its limits and with one more Judgement cut his Aura finally broke. A slash at his chest made the lieutenant to his knees. Destroying both his weapon and chest plate. He then notices the white knights have him surrounded and is watching the fight. They too are stained with the blood of the White Fang.
Not only that, one of the white knights has the dead body of the White Fang member he was trying to protect.
"Finish me, demon king! So I can be with my comrades again but know this! The White Fang will avenge us!" the lieutenant growled.
"And they will join you in death," the Supreme Lion King said coldly and with one swift swing of her katana, ended the lieutenant's life.
The dark aura and red eyes of the Supreme Lion King have vanished and she snaps her fingers and the burning inferno suddenly vanishes. "Search the camp and find anything useful and bring them back here," she ordered her knights.
"What do we do if we find any survivors?" Schnee asked.
"Kill them on sight," the Supreme Lion King said coldly.
"It will be done my king!" all of the white knights said in unison and shattered around the camp.
"Sir Aqua! Sir Tifa! Sir Yuna! With me!" the Supreme Lion King shouts and starts to make her way to the main tent.
"My King!" shouted the royal knights she called out for and rushed to her side.
When they reached the main tent it was partly burnt so they went inside. Upon entering, they were attacked by White Fang survivors but were quickly killed by the royal knights. "Good work you three," the Supreme Lion King said and pats their shoulders.
"Thank you, my king," Aqua Schnee said and bowed her head.
"All in a day's work my king!" Tifa said happily.
"I never got tired of killing these losers," Yuna chuckled.
When the Supreme Lion King walked past her knights, Tifa asked, "What are we looking for, my king?"
"Plans, locations of other hideouts, supply routes. The usual," the Supreme Lion King said calmly and looked at the map that's on a large table. She takes her helmet off and puts it on the table. There was a cup of coffee on it, the Supreme Lion King sniffs it a few times, "Still warm," she said and starts to drink it, "You make better coffee Aqua,"
"You're too kind my King," Aqua smiles. She's currently looking through a nearby shelf to find any useful information. Yuna helped out Aqua in her search.
Tifa chuckles, "You know the White Fang is trying to make people think you use fear to make us follow you,"
The Supreme Lion King smiles slightly, "Fear is only effective on the enemy. Using it on allies will only lead to poor performance and betrayal. Isn't that right Sir Aqua?"
"You are correct, my king. If only my father can learn that lesson," Aqua chuckles and shows a few sheets of paper to the king.
"They are planning a raid at the docks at Vale. You won't believe who they have helped them out," Yuna said with a smile.
Curious, the Supreme Lion King looks at the paper Aqua gave and starts to chuckle."What's so funny?" Tifa asked. The king gives her the paper and starts laughing too, "This is rich!"
A white knight comes into the tent, goes down on one knee and bows their head, "We've gathered all we can and placed them in the spot you assigned!"
"Very good," the king nods and puts on her helmet, "Help the royal knights search the tent,"
"Yes, my king!" the knight nods and stands up.
The Supreme Lion King leaves the tent and walks back to the spot. "We found Dust crates and weapons stolen from the SDC," a knight informed her. "They honestly thought they could take us on with stolen weapons," the knight chuckled.
"But they still manage to kill one of our own!" the Supreme Lion King growls.
"Yes," the knight said sadly, "But we made them pay in blood!"
The Supreme Lion King nods, "And we will continue to make them pay! Not only for our fallen comrade but the Faunus they say the champion! Tell me! Have they done anything to help the horrid treatment of our fellow Faunus!"
"NO!" the White Knight shouts.
"That's right! They made it worse! They're not savours! They're criminals who use the plight of the Faunus as an excuse to steal and needlessly kill! We kill because it's the only way to deal with weaklings who poison our world! And once the White Fang is wiped out, the SDC is next! The true culprits for all the world's suffering! After they are dealt with we will show to the rest of Rement how a true kingdom functions!" the Supreme Lion King shouted and raised her fist in the air.
Her white knights do the same and shout, "All hail the Supreme Lion King! All hail the King of the Faunus! All hail King Cinder Lightning Farron!"
A/N: I decided to write this prologue to volume 1 because the Keyblade war is a big event, and I feel it deserves its own story rather than a long flashback. I've made Lightning and Cinder the same person. I'll be using costumes from Fate Grand Order because I'm terrible at making costumes.
