Sorry for my bad English.

What do you guys think about aliens in Remnant?

STRK Dorm room

It was midnight already and nothing from Ryan and Koro.

They did not pick up their scrolls, not answered any of her messages, nothing.

Sally knew that they could take care of themselves, but after so many times leaving during the night and not returning earlier than they normally do she felt that something was happening.

She couldn't close her eyes to sleep since every time she turns her head to the left, she sees both beds from the boys of her team empty. Perhaps was not only the fact that the boys did not return yet but also that her semblance is telling to her that something was happening. She turns to her partner and sees only her back. It seems she is already asleep.

Sally turn away from her and tried to sleep, hoping that once she open her eyes her friend already return. If she had give a better look on Unicorn she would have see that her partner also had her eyes open.

Vale

How come just food theft has become this?

Ryan was currently with the vigilant resting in his back while trying to drive away the attackers, something very hard with just one tomahawk and an unconscious man in his back. More precisely he was holding three nightsticks with just one tomahawk as he used his other arm to hold the vigilant in his shoulder.

Koro was better of course. He blocked every attack from the improvised weapons with his katana and cut down the most fragile materials in the thugs' hands. Things get a bit more difficult when some of them showed up with pistols and shotguns. The pistols were standard to common people but some of the shotguns were from military caliber, meaning that a good shot would cause some pain in Koro.

This however was not problem for the ninja who moved like a blur around the group, knocking their weapons down and throwing shurikens made of dust against the ones armed with guns. He landed in the middle of the group and for their surprise, exploded causing a smoke screen.

Some of them got distracted while the others keep pointing their guns around, trying to spot the vagrant ninja. Some screams were heard and the ones focused pointed their weapons in the direction of the screams only to soon after, more screams come from another side. It was clear to them that Koro was taking some of them down with stealth.

-Forget the ninja! Get the vigilant! –One of the thugs shouts.

They followed the order and went back to get rid of the vigilant, still unconscious on Ryan's back. Even without seeing them, they shot in their direction with hopes to put down the student and the vigilant.

They waited for a moment until more gunshots were heard, and some of the thugs lost the hold of their weapons.

-What is happening?!

-Something just shot my hand!

-How?

The thugs asked as more shots come, disarming more of them. The ones still with the hold on their guns opened fire again at the same direction from before, only to have their guns forced out from their hands by more shots.

-Where those shots are coming from?! –One of them shouts.

The one who just screamed had a black fabric suddenly wrapped around his neck and pulling him deeper in the smoke screen. After hear what seemed to be someone pummeling someone, the man was throw back at the feet of his friends, all beaten from head to toe.

-Where are you your coward?! –Another one shouts despite being very clear that he was the one scared.

A shot between his legs made him turn around in panic and open fire desperately with two revolvers while screaming. With ice kunais thrown from behind, the scared thug got both his legs frozen, followed by a gunshot whose the bullet hit nowhere in their sight and then, the a brick just fell in the thugs head, knocking him unconscious.

The smoke screen died but their three targets were nowhere to be seen.

What was left of the criminals were with their guard up and looking to everywhere, be the sky or even the floor, waiting for their next strike.

That was when Koro once again landed in the middle of the group, making them all turn to him with their guns pointed and pulling the triggers. Unfortunately for them, Koro was down, making them shot each other. Two of them still were in their feet while the rest would not recover so soon.

Seeing no reason to keep with the stealth, Koro decide to face the two thugs straight forward. What only two of them could do alone?

That was when the cavalry arrived, not for the heroes but for the villains. While Koro was used to hear his partner screaming, he was surprise to see Ryan flying above him and land far behind. Koro focus his attention to where Ryan came from and see a man holding a sledgehammer/bazooka in his hands.

-Boss! –The two thugs called.

-The task was simple. –The man holding the bazooka began. –Find the vigilant and kill him. Yet all of you are just being pummeled down by a pair of teenager! –He roared, clearly angered with his goons' fail.

-But boss… -One of them tried to defend themselves.

-What are you morons waiting?! Kill him! –But where interrupted by their boss roaring again, ordering them to kill Koro.

Koro knew the boss would not be easy as his goons, so he paid attention to him as he clashed against the last two thugs. One of them tried again use a gun only to Koro throw a kunai in his hand, making him loose the grip of his weapon. The other tried a close range option, holding a knife. Koro simply sidestepped and kicked the man on the stomach, then elbow him on the face.

He went for the first thug, who got hold of his gun again. Koro dodges his shots while pressing a button on his katana, making the blade color turn yellow. Instead of just cut the man as someone would expect, Koro simply touch the gun with the blade, electrocuting the man for a few seconds before let him fall unconscious on the floor. The second thug roared as he tried hopes tackle down Koro to immobilize him. Koro, without turn around to face the thug, used his scarf to wrap the bandit's hand and throw him on the wall on his left.

Frowning at the fail of his henchmen, the man with the hammer roared as he went after Koro with his weapon above his head. Koro got ready to dodge when suddenly the swing of the hammer was interrupted by a shot. The man tried again and the same happened with his next strike.

Looking behind Koro, the man sees Ryan holding one of his revolvers and aiming direct at him.

-Even with aura someone would feel his ribs bruised after one strike of my hammer. –The man said and then, his weapons shifted to a bazooka. –Let's see you survive this.

The man pulled the trigger and shot the rocket. Koro easily dodges the shot but notices that his partner was not going to move from his place.

-Ryan, dodge! –Koro shouts.

Imagine his surprise when instead of dodging, Ryan grabbed the rocket with his bare hands, holding it until the flame slowly extinguish it. Koro was surprise but not enough to forget about their enemy. When he turns around he sees the man putting another rocket inside the bazooka.

-Try hold this! –The man shouts as he shots another rocket.

Koro knew that if the rocket hit Ryan, it would explode in his face with combined forces of the rocket he was holding and the one the man just shot. Not having a choice and acting by reflex, he threw a red shuriken against the rocket, which exploded between the vagrant ninja and the leader of the thugs.

-Ryan! –Koro called. –Just take the guy out of here! I can take care of this stooge!

Nodding to his partner, Ryan left the alley and take the vigilant somewhere safe while the vagrant ninja deal with the leader of the thugs.

-You got some balls to not only stay to face Stone but also call me a stooge, bub! –The man, now named Stone, declared as he roared with his sledgehammer above his head while dashing against Koro.

The ninja smirked and easily jumped over the swing of his opponent and let it hit the wall, but was caught by surprise by the handle hitting his back, despite had just hit the brick wall. Koro rolled on the floor and had almost no time to react the hammer came down onto his stomach.

He exploded in another smoke screen, leaving Stone in the middle of the smoke. It was no use for him since he saw shapes of Koro's body around the smoke, reaching to above. He lifted his hammer to block a stab coming from above, making Koro widen his eyes in surprise with the fact Stone knew from where he was coming.

He jumped on the smoke again with hopes to get the leader with his guard down, only to be hit straight on the stomach by a swing of his hammer, sending him flying just like Stone did to Ryan moments ago.

-My semblance allows me to see what was left of your presence in midair, making impossible for you to sneak around me. –Stone said as he got ready to dash again. –Your tricks will not work on me.

With sneak attacks out of question, Koro had no choice than a straight attack.

Once away from the battle, Ryan went to a bunch of journals and removed each one until the vigilant was visible again.

Seeing that he was safe, he put the man back on his back and went direct to the nearest hospital. While running away from the group of thugs, one of the shots hit the vigilant on the back, making him bleed a little. Ryan did what he could to stop the bleeding but it was clear the man needed to go to the nearest hospital.

Ryan wanted to return to help his partner but he could not let the man just bleed to death. With little time to think, he decides to trust in his partner's skills and take the vigilant to the hospital.

Koro did not notice at first, but Ryan knew that a fight with the big man would not be easy.

Koro thought it would be an easy fight, but Stone proved to be a thought opponent.

He was not only strong but is quite fast with his sledgehammer/bazooka, and every time Koro tried to attack him while his guard was wide open, Stone would quickly rise again his defense and block any blow Koro tried to land.

His stealth would not be useful either. With his semblance, Stone could see where Koro was going and where he would strike.

He did not face such tough opponent since Glynda Goodwitch.

Stone rushed against Koro with his hammer coming down, and the ninja sidestepped just in time to be headbutted by the thug leader. Koro used his katana to stop his fall and kick the big man on his chin, making him stumble back while holding his face.

He quickly raised his hammer to block Koro's katana, whose the blade was yellow colored. Koro smirked expecting the electricity to stop Stone, but was shocked to see the hammer was not conducting the electricity.

Stone threw him away and the vagrant ninja landed on his feet while throwing shurikens against his opponent. Imagine Koro's surprise when Stone put his weapon into the bazooka mode and pulled the trigger while pointing against the floor. The explosion send him high in the sky and Koro waste no time in jumping after him.

Their weapons clashed in midair followed by Stone giving a kick which Koro dodge and then was able to his his torso with his katana with one cut. Stone tried to send the ninja far away with his hammer again but Koro was able to dodge while in midair, followed by a somersault kick from the vagrant ninja, making Stone fall face fist on the floor.

The big man recovered quickly, his face showing nothing more than anger. Koro decide to chill him out with some ice shurikens. Stone knew that take the fight in midair would give to Koro advantage, so he decides to spin his weapon to block the incoming projectiles. Once face to face with each other again, Koro dodges one of his swings and gave a cut on his face, which not fazed Stone even little. The big man was able to hold Koro by his neck and slammed him on the floor, or tried. Getting closer of the concrete, the black scarf suddenly wrapped around Stone's neck, holding Koro just in time to not be slammed on the concrete.

Koro escaped his grip and took advantage of his scarf wrapping around Stone to attack. He gave cut after cut on the big man's body, but his aura proved to be strong, yet he felt the cuts in his skin. Stone finally got rid of the scarf holding his body and used his fist to hold the katana. Koro saw the hammer coming down and was about to dodge, when something just stomped in his feet. Holding Koro down by the feet with his leg, Stone was able to land a powerful blow on Koro's head.

He came down with both knees and his only arm on the floor, soon enough the sledgehammer crashed on his back, putting him down and making him scream in pain. Stone smirked, finally putting Koro down despite already hitting him with his hammer a couple of times.

Wanting to end the fight before Koro could recover Stone put his weapon in the bazooka mode once again, only to put one rocket on the end of his bazooka. Putting back his weapon in the hammer mode, the rocket was on the top of the hammer, which means that hitting any surface would make the rocket explode inside the hammer, focusing the explosion in one point, causing a very powerful damage.

-This will put an end on you! –Stone shouts bringing his hammer down, not noticing Koro smirking.

The hammer hit the ninja's back, exploding upon contact. Normally, the hammer would protect Stone from the explosion, but what came next was a explosion big enough to send the big guy flying away.

He hit the brick wall and falls on his chest on the floor, losing the grip in his weapon and groan in pain. He looks ahead and sees Koro standing in front of him, unharmed.

-How… -Before Stone could end his phrase, Koro answered.

-Just a ninja trick.

-How… after… hit you… with my hammer…

-My scarf was protecting my back.

-W-what?

-My. Scarf. Was. Protecting-oh, I mean you want to know how. –To explain, Koro start to move his scarf, without even touching it. –I can conduct dust in my scarf, making it solid with ice.

-Your… little… -Koro interrupted Stone by pointing his katana against his face.

-Now, let me explain how the things work. This is my town. If you or any of the morons who work for you try anything, I will cut you all into pieces! –After finishing his phrase, Koro's blade was pointing direct to Stone's neck.

Before the big man could answer, police sirens were heard.

-Shit! –Stone spoke.

-Shit indeed. –Koro spoke.

Police Station

Neither Ryan nor Koro thought about even see the headmaster of Beacon in his pajamas, or even Glynda with a robe covering her form. Both of them were glaring at the partners, clearly not happy from being awaken from their sleep to deal with the thieves of the academy. Ryan was nervous while Koro remained with his lazy look on his face.

-I thought I let clear what I think about your actions Koro. –Ozpin began. –And to think you would drag your partner in your Misdeeds.

-And? –Koro asked.

-And the officers are half mind to send you to the jail regardless of your age. This also may cause Mr. Forest expulsion.

-Just for thievery? –Koro asked making both professors confused.

-Excuse me? –Glynda asked.

-We just took some food. Don't need to get Ryan out of Beacon because of that.

-Are you taking us as fools? –Glynda asked, clearly annoyed.

-It is not something hard to do. –Koro whispered to himself before Ryan spoke.

-We just took some food. That's all.

Both professors shared a glance before look back at the partners.

-The charges against you both are of taking criminals by yourselves, using extreme violence and violate the law of act with unnecessary violence.

-But we didn't… -Whatever Ryan was about to speak was interrupted by Glynda hitting her crop on the table.

-Hey! Don't go around giving speechless orders! –Koro said to Glynda, making her frown. She would give the vagrant ninja the scolding of his life if Ozpin not started to speak again.

-Are you two telling me that are not the responsible for the beaten of those thugs.

-The only thing I'm guilty is to give some congratulations to the man who did that.

-Koro. –Glynda began. –Those kind of act are punishable by law. You know that act as a vigilant may endanger your position in Beacon.

-So I don't need to worry about because I have nothing to do with this so called beaten. –Koro said surprising the teachers. –Be honest, I can understand you guys suspecting me but any of you would think that Ryan would take this kind of action?

Koro had a point. No matter with angle they see, neither of the teachers could see Ryan taking such drastic actions just to stop a robbery. Glynda remember of him being a bit clumsy on his moves while in combat, but he never harmed too seriously his classmates.

And being fair with Koro, his past misdeeds only shows that he like to take his enemies in stealth, never harming them more than necessary. Looking back at the gunslinger, they notice that he wanted to speak something, but feared Glynda would give him another one of her harsh glares.

-There something you want to say Mr. Forest? –Glynda asked allowing him to talk.

-What about the vigilant we defeated?

-Vigilant?

-Yeah. While we were walking around Vale, we were attacked by a vigilant.

-For what reason?

-Littering? –Ryan asked not wanting to them know about their thievery, even if Koro spoke about a couple of minutes ago.

-Let's say you both were attacked by a vigilant. –Ozpin began. –Do you remember what he looked like?

-He used a leather jacket, covered his eyes with red goggles, his hair was bleached and he had a cannon.

This description matched the appearance of a vigilant act on the streets of Vale, making justice with his hands of course. This information was classified, meaning that they had no way of knowing by any media, meaning…

-It seems that you both are telling the truth. –Ozpin said. Before Ryan could relax, Glynda spoke.

-But don't think you both will leave this situation without a punishment. You both still need to be punished for the misdeed of stealing.

-Punishment for what? –Koro asked.

-You just said about steal food from Restaurants Koro. –Glynda answered.

-Prove it.

Reaching her scroll, Glynda was about to select the recording about the talk they have in the room. But when she pressed play, the only thing it have was static. She tried go forward a couple of seconds only to see more static.

The cameras were not working.

But how?

Then the blonde's gaze shift from her scroll to the gunslinger, which the semblance is absorb energy, including electricity.

-It seems that our only punishment is from violating the curfew. –Koro began. –Meaning that we will just left with a warning, right professor?

Koro asked to Ozpin, knowing the rules and with no concrete proof of their misdeed, neither Ozpin or Glynda could punish them for their actions, even if they said for them, they would denied for the rest of the world.

-I… suppose you are right. –Ozpin said earning a groan from Glynda. –But do not push your luck again Koro. Remember that your actions will cause some damage to someone else besides you.

Koro groaned with the headmaster using the same line one of his friends used a couple of days ago.

Beacon

Courtyard

Of course leaving the police station without punishment doesn't mean Koro would not be scolded by his leader for his careless actions. Of course once she done scolding him, she asked about their battle from the last night.

-What coincidence you both face a vigilant at the same day we spoke about them. –Sally said before ask. –And what happened to them?

-The police checked the hospital where I left him but they said the room he was left on was empty. –Ryan explained. –It seems that he left before anyone could make any questions or arrest him.

-It seems that he was causing some ruckus in Vale make a while now. –Koro said.

-You don't seem very bothered with this. –Surprising was Unicorn who said that, entering in the conversation.

Koro just shrugged.

-To be honest, I would have done the same thing in his place if any of those losers tried to mess with my people there in Vale.

-The hobos? –Sally asked.

-I prefer the term, people with little money. –Koro said. –I actually wonder if we will ever see that man again.

As the team keep taking, none of them, even Koro, did not notice the lonely figure standing far away from them. The vigilant turn around to walk back to Vale and find more criminals but gives a last look on the team before depart.

-It is better I keep a close eyes on this team. –Then he vanished.

End of the chapter.

Oof! Took more words than I expected but it is complete. This resumes their first "volume" of their history. I becoming more and more inclined in use the original idea despite not fitting in Remnant. But after everything from the volumes 3 to 6, I think anything is possible.

I will put some more thought on this before come to a conclusion. For now vigilantes will be enough.

That's all folks. See you next time.
