Shadow of the past

Chapter 57

Alone in the woods

Normal Pov: Drellin: In a warehouse in Drellin was someone sitting in front a computer with over 10 screens. It was a girl about 16 with long grey hair that was tie into a pony tail on the right side of her head. She wore a black tube top that show off her modest chest and stomach. There was a white bird on the back of it. She also wore grey pants with a white belt and grey boots. On her left arm was a gauntlet with a scroll in it. He also has a pair of headphones around her neck. She was rapidly tying on a keyboard as she looks over some things. She as a Lollie pop in her mouth as she took it out. "My this kingdom is quite interesting or at least the Elympios part of it is." She said as she look to her right. "How does the decrypted for that Spiritius data we got Jazamon?" She ask. Next to her was a small perch, on it was a small grey robotic bird with red eyes. "It currently at 73% Aiko." It said in a girl voice. "Perfect, once it done, we can figure out what their making and then sell them my babies." Aiko said .

"Up to no good I see Aiko." A voice said. Aiko cry out as she spun and fell out of her chair. She got up to see Angela, Ichigo, Tristen, Mira and Drake. Aiko sigh and sat back in her chair. "Can't you knock Angie foe real, nearly gave me a damn heart attack." She said. Angela giggle. "Sorry, so what you been up to?" She ask. Aiko grin. "Well I hack Spiritius to see what they are building, so I can know what to sell them and built a life for myself." She said. "Of course that when your not hanging out with Kazu." Jazamon said. "Kazu?" Ichigo ask. :He this boy my Tamer has a crush on." Jazamon said. "He the son of a local mechanic, he quite good with machines. We have a lot in common. But your not here to talk about my personal life. So I take it time to team up?" Aiko ask. "That right." Angela said. "Remind me why wee need her?" Drake ask. "Simple Drake, we all have our own goals. Myself, Ichigo and Tristen want to fix humanity, Mira want to give Faunus the same rights as humans and to take down the Schees, You want to be the world greatest swordman. And Aiko here." Angela said.

"I want a better life." She said. "Why is that?" Mira ask. Aiko sigh. "My father was Marcus black, a assassin and a bastard of a drunk. He try to train my big brother to be like him, going as far to beat it into him. He notice I was getting over and plan to sell me out for cash if you catch my drift." Aiko said. "Bastard." Tristen said.. "That he was my brother wouldn't have that so he kill dear old dad. But his legs were ruin from the fight and have to come off. Lucky I was born a genius and made him some new ones." She said as she puffs our her chest. "Yes, it was around that time when Cinder recruited him in exchange that you be care for." Angela said. "Yep, anyway, Angie I'm in. I just need to take care of something here then we can go." Aiko said as she turn to her computer. "So all we need now is Misuru Arctic now." Ichigo said. "Yes, last I heard he in Mantle." Angela said. Mira groan. "Great first I almost die of heat stroke and now I'm going to freeze my tail off." She said. "Better dress warm then fishy." Drake said as he got slap by her tail. "Ok all set let go." Aiko said as Jazamon hop on to her shoulders as they left the warehouse.

Takato Pov: And here I thought our day couldn't get worst. Ist we get attack by Grimm that force our train to clash. Then we learn the truth about Ozpin and get attack by several Digimon. Now we just walk into a fucking horror movie. We all stare at the bodies lying in the bed. I turn to Rika. "Take the girls down stairs while we handle this." I said. She nod. "Come on you three, you don't need to see this." She said as they left the room. "That is nasty." Yang said. "What do you think happen to them?" Blake ask. "Not sure, but there could be others. Qrow, take Yang, Blake, Matt and Oscar and check the other house. Ruby, you Weiss and Argo go check on the others." I said as they head out. Me and Kenji stay in the room and head over to the bodies. "So, how do you think they died?" He ask. "I'm not sure, from what I can tell it wasn't foul play. There no blood, or anything that say otherwise. And by how they look they been death for weeks, maybe a month at most." I said as I got up.

"Keni are there any kind of Grimm that could do this?" I ask. He cross his arms to think. "I'm not sure, I'm not familiar with all the kind of Grimm. My sister was more into that then I was. And were not on good terms for me to ask. So, what are we going to do about the bodies?" He ask. I rub the back of my head. "Not mush we can do for them with this storm going on. Let head down stairs to check on the others." I said as we head down, we saw Qroww group was back as they brush the snow off of them. "So?" I ask. He sigh. "It the same all over the village. All dead in their beds. It like they all went to sleep and never woke up." He said. "That certainly upsetting." Maria said. "Great, just what we need." Rika said. "So, what do we do?" Ask Solene. "Well, we found a flatbed that big enough for all of us. If we hook it to Yang bike, we can use it to get us to Argus." Blake said. "Ok, wait through the storm til morning and then get out of her." I said. "Agreed, it best we get some sleep." Qrow said. "Right." Rika said as we all went to bed. The next morning when we all woke up we were all so tire. I couldn't explain why. Right now Me and Weiss were placing a latch on Yang bike. "That should do it." i YAMN.

"Can we just go back to bed." Oscar said as he and Argo sat on a porch, the blonde leaning against him. "So sleepy." She said as Herissmon was in her lap ready to pass out. "If were all so tire, maybe we should make breakfast." Blake said. "You want to make it?" Oscar ask. "Not really." She said. "I doubt we have much food anyway." Blackgatomon said. I saw Ruby, Kenji and Qrow pushing the flatbed to us. "You guys ready?" Ruby ask. "Were set, in case this doesn't work we can have Kyubimon pull it." Rika said. "Well it done now, so let hook this thing up." Qrow said as he put his foot on it as the tire went flat. "We shit." I said. "You people are just beacon for bad luck aren't you?" Maria ask. "Lady, you have no idea." Rika said as she and Yang sat against a well. "I'm starting to think the universe just doesn't want us to go to Atlas." Yang said. "It just a flat, I'm sure there a spare." Ruby said. "It not just that, it everything, storms, clashes, Digimon. I'm so tire." Yang said. "Me too, it feel like we were always having to fight to get by." Blake said. "Yeah, but it what we sigh up for." Ruby said.

"We sign up to try and save the world, not just delay the inevitable." Oscar said. "Last night I couldn't stop thinking why are we even going to Atlas." Weiss said as we look at her. "Weiss we have to." Ruby said. "Why, Ozpin hid the relic behind giant doors under emorous schools. How long would it take for Salem to find a lamp in the middle of no where." Yang said. "But the Grimm." Ruby said. "They'll find it eventually sure." Yang said. "And I doubt we can destroy something make by the gods." I said. "Buy bury it or or just throw down the well, it would take years." Yang said. "It might ho happen in our life time." Matt said. "But we could be done with it right now." Yang said. Ruby look at the lamp, then to the others. She walk to the well and hold the lamp over it. "I am really tire." She said. "Ruby stop." Rika said as Ruby look at her. "Everyone please listen, I know it seem bad right now, but we can't give up hope. Because hope is what make us strong, it is why we are here. It all we have when all else is gone." Rika said. "She right, we can't give up now." Elize said.

"There no way in hell I'm giving up with out a fight." I said. "Me too." Kenji said. "I guess me too." Weiss said. "Me too." Blake said. "Sorry for being a downer." Yang said. "It alright is i ah!" Ruby cry out as she drop the lamp down the well. "No. no I didn't mean it." She said. "It ok you said you were tire." Yang said. "No there something down there." Ruby said. "Then were not alone here, why didn't we sense it." Rika said. "It most likely we were too exhausted to notice." Renamon said worry. "If there is something down there, then we should find the lamp as soon as possible." I said. "So, what we hop down the well." Yang said. "No I think I know another way, Qrow stay with the kids up here while we check it out." i said as we head inside. There we go to the basement where we found the lock door. I broke the lock and open it to reveal a series of tunnels. "Woah, these look to go under the whole village." Blake said. "Let get moving." I said as we went down the tunnel in the direction off the well. We soon spot sunlight as it shine on the lamp. Ruby ran to it and pick it up. "Good let get out f here." Hackmon said.

I then saw something moving. "Guys." Elize said as something came into view. Thye wre some sort of humanoid like Grimm. One let out a cry as I suddenly felt weak. "These things it cry saps my strength." I said. "Great , guess that explains why were so tire." Bearmon said. "Then let take them out fast." Matt said. "Tail whip!" I shout as i spun to cut a few down. "Pyro sphere!" Guilmon shout as he shot one. 'Lighting pierce!" Rika shout as she shot the lighting arrow at them. "Diamond storm!" Renamon shout as she took out a group of them. "Negative gate!" Elize shout as the black hands grab several of them. "Tear shoot!" Lunamon shout as she shot at one of the Grimm. Kenji was shooting them with ice dust to slow them down. "Fif slash!" Hackmon shout as he slash one with his claws. Ruby as shooting them down from a distance. "Poison Ivy!" Palmon shout as she grab one of them and threw it into the others. Weiss made a fire glyph to burn several of them. "Gear stinger!" Fanbeemon as she shot a few of them.

Blake was shooting into the horde of Grimm. "Cat gaze!" Blackgatomon shout as she shot her eye beam at them. Yang slam her fist into one and grab another and throw it into a group. "Bear fist!" Bearmon as he punch one in the face. Matt blade went hot as he cut one down the middle. "Petit flame!" Vorvomon shout as he blast one. Argo grabs one by the neck with he whip and broke it. "Holy beam!" Kudamon shout as he shot a gold beam at one. Oscar manage to strike one down with his cane. "Lighting Quills!" Herissmon as he fire his quills at them. "There too many." Fanbeemon said "Run!" Maria shout. We ran back the way we came until we reach the Grimm cry out again and Me and Blake fell down. Shit, these things are annoying. The Grimm try to reach for us. "Takato/Blake!" Rika and Ruby shout as their eyes let out a sliver light that destroy the Grimm. I use this to help Blake up the stairs. But the Grimm cry again as everyone fell. No, I can't move. We watch as the Grim slowly move for us. I notice Maria move to Rika and Ruby.

"Girls, what color are your eyes?" She ask. "Their sliver." Ruby ask as Maria gasp. "You have family . friends don't think about Grimm, focus on the thought of them , the way they make you feel." Maria said. "Hikari." Rika said. "That right Rika think of our Daughter, you want to see her again." I said as I took her hand. "Life is beautiful, it is precious and it must be protected." Maria said. The girls suddenly sat up as their eyes flash as the sliver light cover the area and all the Grimm were destroy. "Damn Riki, didn't think you and Rosey have that kind of juice in you." Argo said. "Now not the time, we got to go." I said as i saw more Grimm coming. We ran up stairs to grab Qrow and the kids. I shot a fire ball at the Grimm to set them on fire as we left the house. I connect the flat bed as everyone hop on. "Yang floor it!" I shout as she start her bike as we sped off. It didn't take us long to leave the village behind. "So, what the hell were those things." Matt said. "The apathy, their not strong or ferocious, they drain your will. I found a journal that state the leader of the village wanted to cut cost on huntsmen protection and wanted to keep everyone calm. So, he capture a pair of Apathy and seal them in the tunnels. But the rest of the pack found them and well you saw the results." Maria said.

"It was horrible." Lunamon said as she hug Elize as her partner comfort her. "And scary." Teepo said. "We won't have to worry about them now, but there another matter we need to talk about." Rika said as she and Ruby look at Maria. "In the tunnels you knew exactly what to say to us to make our eyes do that, how?" Ruby ask. Maria smile. "Simple my dear, I once had sliver eyes." She said. "So, who are you really?" I ask. "I was once a huntress call the Grim reaper." Maria said. Qrow look shock. "Your her, your legend, an unbeatable huntress. I wanted to be like you, I even base my weapon on you." Qrow said. Maria chuckles. "You shouldn't, I hadn't been the same since the hunters." Maria said. "The hunters?" Elize ask. "Human my mothers recruits, when a sliver eyes warrior is discover she sent them to hunt them down. Most likely because they can destroy the Grimm." Kenji said. "It match what Angela told me when we fought at Haven." Rika said. "After I lost my eyes, I became afraid. I thought it was best for me to go into hiding." Maria said. "There nothing wrong about being afraid, we feel it at times. We just need to over come it." I said.

"Your a interesting one young man." She said. "Maria can you teach us how to use this power?" Rika ask. "I already did, the rest is up to you." Maria said. That when Ruby scroll beep. "Hello?" She ask as she answer it. "Ruby, thank goodness I got through to you." Jaune said. "Jaune how are you calling us?" She ask. "Were in the city." He said. I pull out my scroll to see that I got a signal. "Guys look." Solene said as we saw a city in the distance. "Jaune were about to reach Argus, meet us by the gate." Ruby said. "Will do." He said "Look like things are looking up." Rika said "Let hope so." I said as we enter the city.
