Chapter 11 Fox and the Amazons

Winter enters the White Fang base and was greeted with at least 12 goons of this terrorist group. Winter drew her saber and aim it at the group and said as cold as the coldest winter.

Winter: Stand down. If you don't, I will not show any mercy to you savage animals.

Many were chilled to the bone. But they kept the bones warm and start unloading on the high and mighty Schnee. Winter Smirk and use her family's semblance that is the strongest one in the world, the Glyph Semblance. A glyph that had four swords in it with the blade pointing away from the center. And from it an Ursa appear and took the barrage of bullets. From behind Winter launch four dust energy blasts that flew from behind the Ursa hitting the group spreading them apart. The Ursa dissipated as Winter dashes through the Ursa to the group ready to slice and dice. The first guy got cleave in half from the waist. Winter was not showing any mercy. The next target uses a sword he drew to block Winter attack. Still had her icy stare which causes the Faunus to hesitate.

A summon beowolf Winter created chomp down on his head killing the guy before tearing him apart into messy confetti Winter then use her glyph to dash around the remaining 10 white fang members. In her dashing about she swiftly took 6 members before they could even react. The remaining four were more experience than the rest and was able to defend from her strikes. Winter stare at the remaining four and decide this the best chance she can test out her strongest monster.

When the four saw what she summon they try to run away but they got cleaved in half by a single swing. Winter was a bit disappointed that it was that easy. But happy her hard battle with the Grimm was worth her being able to summon it to aid her in battle. She then wonders around the base looking for Chro.

Chro was on his scroll playing Angry Nevermores on his scroll and he was getting good at this Scroll game. Then the door to his prison cell of sorts blasted off their hinges Chro knew it was her.

Chro got off the workbench he was laying on play the game on his Scroll: Grand entrance as usually Winter.

Winter not in the mood for Chro banter: Be quiet I had to go behind Ironwood permission to save you.

Chro sarcastically places a hand on chest: So in your icy heart, there is love.

Winter blush and annoyed with the Atlesian scientist: Shut up and get your ass to the exit. There is someone else here. And he not from Atlas.

Chro was surprised: really how can you tell?

Winter starts to leave: because I saw some guards knocked out. And I would not let these animal roam anymore.

Winter left and soon the past caught up to the present with her pistol aim at his head. She knew he was a fox with his fox tail poking out from his heavy winter pants. She felt she got this fox under her thumb but Kituma was not one you can pin down so easily. Winter notice his two animal traits and recognize as him being a Kishi. and her look became colder than the vacuum of space.

Winter: You're related to Kishi's. you fox are devils in disguise.

Kituma responds not looking or moving: Very original how did you take to come up with that. Miss Schnee?

Winter was stun for a second he recognizes her though he did not see her: How did you know!

Kituma smirk he mostly guesses from the knowledge he knew that one Schnee was in the military: Well one you have this real distaste for Faunus. Along with the fact it got a bit colder as you enter the room.

Winter was not amused with his joke of her being so cold she the temperature: another Snow Queen joke. Well, I must say off with your head.

Kituma chuckle: did you just make a joke?

Winter was done playing the foxes game no longer talking which Kituma could tell he could not talk his way out of this. He turns and fires at Winter. The Schnee fire back causing their bullets hit the other's causing neither to land on their targets. After missing a lot of her shots due to the foxes own, Winter charge at Kituma prepares to fight Kituma in close quarters. She tries to do a powerful punch straight towards his smug ass face. But Kituma moves his head to the side causing her to miss. Winter thinking quickly tries turning her punch into a horizontal chop but Kituma duck under the swing. Winter took this chance to swing her leg into his side. It hurt from the look on his face but he captures her leg under his arm. Winter was once again with military training in mind leap and wrap her other leg around Kituma's head, ready to use the strength of her legs to slam him into the ground.

Kituma figures this out as well and spins around before launching both away in opposite directions. Winter kept firing at Kituma who spin through the air causing the shots to fly past him. Winter landed on her back and rolled backward until she was on one knee and leg. Kituma, however, landed on his feet with no trouble which surprise even the fox normally he messes up cool stuff but he notices it might be when he tries to do cool stuff. Kituma thinks he should stop doing that to make less of a dumb ass of himself but what would the fun in that be? Winter pulls the trigger but the pistol was out of ammo.

Kituma teasing the Schnee: Somebody hasn't been counting.

Winter drew her saber and said: Silence Fox! I will gladly remove that tongue you love so much.

Kituma grabbing his own sword spin it in his hands a bit before resting it on his shoulder: Normally the go for the ball chopping, not tongue cutting. But I guess its something yours into. Not kink shaming you.

Winter had enough of him mocking her and dash in with a slash attack to cleave Kituma or do a nice slash across his chest. But the fox uses his large sword to parry the attack and prepare a powerful swing of his sword. But he notices Winter was using his parries force to spin around and descending her swing to slice him off his feet. Kituma leaps up to avoid the slash. While in the air he flips and prepares to stab his sword down into Winter. The Schnee roll out of the way and then got to her feet and did a dash thrust with her sword right into his face. The blade hit its mark? Winter did not hear a cutting sound all she heard was something hitting metal? Kituma turns his face to Winter and was caught off guard by the sheer madness of this fox catching the blade with this fucking teeth. Kituma gave her a wink before he pulls with his teeth on her blade closer to him. Winter was to surprise to counter his move as he delivers a blade kick to her chest knocking the air out of her but as not enough to bring this huntress out.

Kituma did a horizontal swing of his sword but Winter leans back far enough to avoid the swing and once the sword flew over her face she springs back up and swings her sword once more. Kituma ice pick grips the sword and block the strike. Their blade kept making contact with one another. Winter was getting sick of dealing with this Kishi.

Kituma sort of disappointed: Are you going 70% percent?

Winter confuse: Excuse me?

Kituma: I expect more from an experienced huntress especially one from a powerful family line.

Winter shot back: Kishi family were among the most powerful and mightiest Huntsman and Huntress in Remnant history but all die like any normal animal. And your fate will be no different.

Kituma was not amused by her comment and said back: to quote my dad, "FUCK FATE"

As he headbutted Winter hard in face shattering her aura which causes Kituma some pain but not as much as Winter was experiencing. Kituma took this chance to get the hell out of dodge. Winter tries to use her semblance but due to her aura was out of commission she was unable to. She slams her fist into the ground as she knew chasing the fox would be a death sentence, especially it was clear she underestimated him and he could have killed her with her not going all out easily. She won't make that mistake next time she swears on her grandfather's grave.

Kituma reach the end of the runway of the hanger and leap off and was falling down the mountain as he transform to his Grimm form with armor and all and change his long cape into the wings he needs which cause him to glide down the mountain instead of skydiving down to his "death" his ride lasted a few minutes as he landed safely on the ground and wasted no time running back to the Howling Brother bunker nearby since he knew the Atlas army be arriving soon.

Solitas White Fang Base

Winter exit the base and saw Chro waiting by the snowmobile but Winter saw who was coming and sigh. She knew he was not going to be happy. As some Atlas forces arrive and the general himself arrives at the White Fang base. As men head inside, Ironwood check on Chro who gave a thumbs up to the general to show he fine. James turns to Winter with disappointment on his face. Winter look away in shame she knew what she did was wrong but if she did not who will? James gestures her to follow him to a more private place so only the two can talk in private. The two soon found a small room but enough so they can talk one on one without anyone, or most people hearing what they are saying.

James turns to Winter not happy with her: You went even though I told you to wait until everyone's ready.

Winter shooting back in her defense: Sir if we waited who knows what would have happened… and I was not the only deciding to attack this base.

James curious who she is talking about: A third party? Who was it?

Winter explains to Ironwood: A Fox Faunus. Clearly from the Kishi Family line with their double animal traits.

James surprised to hear: … was there an older man with him?

Winter confuse why he asked that: No, he was alone.

James disappoints he can't get his justice on Guts for killing his men and Nicholas Schnee an old friend of his: Very well you are not going to be punished. But you go home.

Winter had a not happy look: You know I rather not.

James: Your Families Company stuff was stolen recently so I like to see what you can find from inside.

Winter rolled her eyes: He not going to tell me. But I will try sire.

Saluting her General before leaving the room. James stayed in the room alone to be alone with his thoughts. So the Kishi is alive and well. Ozpin will be happy but Ironwood is not sure. if his father any example then this boy is not the hero Ozpin claim he can be, he could easily join the enemies team. so like always Ironwood must be the one to the one to be the savior.

Sanus Howling Brothers Workshop

The brothers were working on some fun projects when Kituma came back and quickly took off the heavy winter clothes.

Sou: Let me guess went well and killed some people.

Nor hoping not: Please say no. I don't want blood on the floor.

Sou annoyed with his brother: stop being a pussy!

Nor was about to hit his brother but saw Kituma only in jeans and a tank top heading outside with his weapons in hand to train some more. But once he got out he was surprised to see a familiar girl.

Cinder: Kituma? Well did not expect you to be on these mountains.

Kituma smiling happily to see her again: Hey Cinder what brings you up in these mountains?

Cinder happy as well to see him: Training some more… but now you are here I was thinking. Would you like to go to a store in Vale? I think we can help each other.

Kituma was curious about what she means: Give me a minute then will get going.

Cinder nodded as he heads inside to get some clothes on. As he did Nor and Sou look at him with approving smiles on their faces. Kituma notices this and said: Hey were just met recently.

Sou knowing Kituma wanted to do it with her: Yeah but I think you want to swing for a home run.

Kituma blush: I rather go slow on this.

Nor saying: well didn't going slow cause you to lose Blake?

Kituma said in a way to hide how he really felt: Who needs that dumb bitch. If she wants to suffer that her problem not mine.

Nor and Sou were both surprised by what he said as he put on his red coat and gather his remaining weapon and went outside to go out with Cinder. As they walk to the Kingdom of Vale Cinder asked Kituma an interesting question.

Cinder: Do you believe that everyone's fate is decided the moment we are brought into this world?

Kituma surprise by her question and answered her very philosophical question: I think we make our own fate. Those who think they are predestined are too afraid to admit that it's their fault they went down the path they are on.

Cinder found his answer interesting: I see.. For me I think we are made for a purpose. Not a specific purpose but one we are best suited for.

Kituma: So you believe we all have a role to play but not one that specific.

Cinder nodded: Correct. Take you.

Kituma: me?

Cinder: yes you. You could be a huntsman. A general of an army. But in the end you all ways be a warrior.

Kituma curious why she thought he always fight: Why you think I'm carving the blood of my enemies?

Cinder: not exactly. But seeing how you fight and your attire it shows you choose a life of combat. No matter how much you tried to avoid violence. It's in your nat-

Kituma: Cinder. Stop.

Cinder see she touch a nerve or something: Sorry..

The two soon arrive in Vale and arrive at a fancy cafe named Aristocats. Kituma remembers the owner Duchess and Thomas made this lovely café and had three small kids which look adorable. They head inside and he saw Duchess on the register and she recognizes him she smiled.

Duchess: Kiuma. You grow so fast. Come here.

Gesturing to come closer. Kituma blushes but walk up and hug the older cat. She was a cat faunus but she had short white hair and a long white fur feline tail. She was around the same age as Kali though maybe younger. She wore a fancy purple dress and a gold necklace with diamonds in it. She was shorter then Kituma obviously. Also she had light blue eyes that shine like diamonds.

Kituma after hugging: Nice seeing you Madam but me and… my friend Cinder came to chat.

Duchess smiled: I see so the usual for you. But what about you dear?

Cinder said: Tea will be nice.

Duchess chuckle and said: is it the hair or the eyes dear?

Kituma: What?

Duchess finish ordering them up and Cinder paid for it since Kituma was nearly broke. Both took a seat a nice table. Once they sit the two sat in silence both were not sure what to say as they wait for their drinks to come.

So while they wait Kituma asked Cinder: So why you want to come here?

Cinder remember why she brought him here: Well a threat coming to Remnant and it not like any the world is ready for?

Kituma hope it's the same one he know because he does not have time to deal with aliens: So what is it? are they short and green?

Cinder shook her head: this is not sci-fi attack, rather a fiendish attack.

Kituma glad to hear that but hid this from Cinder: Fiendish? What masochists are trying to take over?

Cinder chuckle: They have tried but no. were dealing with real demons. And I know you fought one.

Kituma was surprised but tried to act dumb: What me/ fighting a demon?

Cinder: That black armor you were rocking was really good on you.

Kituma knew he saw him fight Preta… wait, was she following him?!

Kituma: Were you following me?

Cinder shook her head: not necessarily. I was going to kill the demon but you got their first.

Kituma understood knowing now she was not aware he was a Grimm: Okay… so are you saying we should team up? Like a dynamic duo?

Cinder laugh: Kituma does all your responses have to bring a smile to my face?

Kituma: I try dear. I try.

Cinder: Yes and maybe be more than sidekicks.

Kituma smiled: Wow someone swings for a home run.

Cinder smirk: Well I think you're someone who I think I want to be with you sly fox. Your devilishly Handsome, Smart, Skill and most importantly very, very witty.

Kituma smiled: Okay Cindy. So I'm guessing you got a target?

Cinder nodded smiling: Yes one in the mountains.

Kituma: I was going to hit that place anyway. Great minds think alike.

Cinder: it seems so.

Before they could continue to talk Thomas Duchess husband who was a tall fit man with light orange hair. He wore a light blue vest with fancy black pants and a bow tie. He had a thing cat tail with a round tip end. He also had yellow eyes.

Thomas: Here your tea madam. And you sly fox have your hot chocolate.

Kituma takes his drink while Cinder her tea. Kituma said to Thomas: thanks, Tommy.

Thomas said no thank him as he left the young lovers alone once more. As the two enjoy their drinks in piece Cinder look at Kituma drink his hot chocolate and think inside her mind: He hiding something. But I will find out and once I do maybe she can leave her boss and they can conquer the world, together.

Atlas Schnee Household

Winter park in front of her old home- no prison. She walks to the gate with the new and "improve" Schnee family emblem on the metal gate. She walks over and presses the button to call inside. Who answers? It was a very sweet family maid.

Maid: Who is it?

Winter: Winter Schnee.

Maid: Winter!? Oh, it's nice to hear your voice after so long. Now come in.

As the gate open. Winter prepares to step in but she hesitated. This place was the source of a lot of the pain inside her and her jailer still breathing and until he stops then she will be free from the chain still on her. Winter breathes and sucked it up and head inside to meet her jailer face to face.
