Hey guys. Its that time again! The Summer of the Dead has arrived! This time around, you'll never know who will show up. Enjoy!

Pandora...Based on the Greek tale of a young lady named Pandora. She was given a box that was said to hold all of the negative energy of the world. But she was deceived to open it. And from there, her name will always be remembered as taboo. A law that shall never be broken. But have we humans have the capability to break the greatest law of them all? A new Pandora's Box is about to be open.

Remnant...

A hand rises from a black lake, as a Grimm climbs its way out of the black lake and roars to the red sky. It then walks along with other Grimm to one direction. A Grimm bird flies through the dark red skies as it enters a castle that ascends above the dark land of the Grimm. It goes inside and lands on a pale white hand with black veins. The hand belongs to a woman that is wearing a black robe with ghostly white skin, with black and red eyes. The woman then notices the rings it is holding on its claws. She knows who those rings belonged to.

She forms a meeting with other individuals on a large table. "Gentlemen...it appears our Fall Maiden Cinder...is dead..."

A man with a mustache raises his brow. "Well...how unfortunate...but really, am I the only one who thought she would fail us? But even I thought she wouldn't fail us 'this' easily...Absolutely disgraceful. She went missing for a week and this happens..."

A skinny man, sitting cross legged smirks. "Heh Heh...Must be a record..."

The pale woman stands up. "Regardless..." She walks up to her window. "...Whether you had any feelings for her...or not, this still won't be ignored...someone was able to defeat Cinder, and with her Fall Maiden powers in tact. This is problematic to our plans...Another piece of this, is her two peons hasn't been seen ever since. For all we know, they could have died too. Or...they could be hiding, revealing our secrets...sabotaging us..."

The skinny man then grins. "hehehe...If that's the case...they are already dead! Just give me the word your highness..." He bows.

"I'm flattered...But what I really want is to find out who killed Cinder, and have him brought to me. For what I heard, Ozpin has been killed by Cinder. The only people that can defeat her is him and a Silver Eye Warrior..."

A burly man with his arms crossed scoffs. "How can one person defeat one of us? Its unthinkable..."

"That is why I want you to find any information you can find and capture this someone...I want to personally meet this person..."

The mustache man crosses his arms. "With all due respect, have you gained any lead on who did it? It can't be one of those...children from Beacon."

The woman stares at a little device she holds on her fingers. "...no. I believe this will lead us to our answer." She smiles. Knowing that something interesting will be going on. "Make no mistake...Cinder held an important piece of our ultimate victory...and this...someone who killed her...escape this alive...Dr. Watts, I want you to give this to our undercover men to find out where this came from." She gives it to the one with the mustache as he nods. She turns to the skinny man. "Tyrian, I want you to stop your search for the Spring Maiden for the moment and await further information about Cinder's killer..." He grins with delight. "...and bring him to me." Then he slouches in disappointment.

But Tyrian thinks about it, then smiles. "Well...I always love meeting new people...hehehehe...HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Earth 2072...

Snoring can be heard through the room. A dark green haired boy with nothing but sweatpants is sleeping while his alarm clock is going off. Someone walks in. "Minato!" A girl with green hair, with blue streaks walks up to the snoring Minato. "Your alarm has been going off an hour ago! Maybe you should wake up!" He still snores. "Ugh...your so difficult I swear..." She turns off the alarm. "Wake up!" Still no response. "I swear...You leave me no choice." She then reveals her cord like tail and attaches it to the alarm clock. She then buffers for five seconds and then loud music BOOMS the clock.

Minato wakes up. "Agh! What the?! Mira?! What was that all about?"

"You've been oversleeping again! Your not going to be in your tip top shape if you keep this up! What if Mary calls you at this time?"

"Don't worry. She usually calls me at noon."

Mira crosses her arms. "Its almost 12:00 pm."

Minato then rubs his head. "Really? This never happened to me...well...maybe like two times, but other than that, never."

Mira sighs as she shakes her head. "...I don't know what you'll do without me..."

Minato sits up. "Hey now, I'm more organized than you think. I always know that Mary calls me at the afternoon. So she will call me somewhere around twenty minutes or at night." Then his phone calls. He quickly checks and sighs in relief. "Its not her." He opens the the phone as Mira scoffs. "Hello?"

"You remember this voice?"

"Um...not really? Who is this?"

"Re-Really? We fought, remember?"

"I fought a lot of people, you need to be more specific."

"Ugh...That doesn't matter. The point is, We have illegal coils in our hands. If you want them, you better find them!"

Minato rolls his eyes. "Ugh...look, that's not how it works."

"What?"

"I am a collector. You know what that means?"

"Um...not really? What about it?"

"I'm a bounty hunter for short. I don't just collect illegal coils just because some random person challenges me. I have to take the job from my boss."

"Yeah? So what?"

"It means your an idiot." Minato said.

"What was that?! I'm totally going to kill you now! Just come over here and meet yo-"

"Mercury! Who are you calling?!"

"Emerald! Get out of here!"

"Are you calling him?! Didn't you forget that we have to hide?!"

"Didn't you want to avenge Cinder or something?!"

"For all we know he could bring in help, and we will be screwed!"

"Stop being a baby will ya?!"

"Oh that is it! Give me your scroll!"

"No!" Minato hears some muffling, then he could hear wind and a crashing sound. They're voices are now more silent. "Crap where is it..."

"Damn it Merc! Forget it! Help me load up the coils!"

"Agh...slave driver..."

Minato places his phone on his bed. "Well..." Then he feels his phone vibrating. He presses a new tab and its Mary. "Hello?"

"Sorry for the early call, but I have a new job for you."

Minato smirks and rolls his eyes. "You don't say!" He sarcastically says as he leaves the room.

Mira follows. "This could be an interesting day."

In the year 2036, humanity discovered another dimension axis known as W along side X, Y, and Z. As a result, the inter-dimensional electromagnetic induction devices, known as coils were developed to draw out the unlimited energy source of the Dimension W. Giant Towers were made all around sixty locations around the world to stabilize the unlimited energy. This gave the entire world seamless amount of energy. The New Telsa Energy and the worlds governments called it the World System and it has changed society as we know it. The founder of New Telsa Energy, Shido Yurizaki, had proudly said, "Mankind had finally obtained, unlimited energy!"

Time pass and a warehouse is filled with goons and criminals, packing crates filled with weapons. The ones leading the operation is Mercury Black and Emerald Shustrai. They command the men to set up the crates for shipment on an upcoming truck.

"Watch it you idiots!" Emerald yells out.

"Calm down Emerald. I know they aren't bright, but they're all we got at this point."

"That's the problem. We really scrapped the bottom of the barrel here! We are wanted here, everyone now knows who we are, we can't run, we can't hide, and I just want to kill that bastard for killing CINDER!" Emerald groans in frustration.

Mercury places his arms on her back. "Hey now! Calm down. We'll have a shot at him. We can hide again, and when we have our opportunity to get him, we go for it! We'll kill him, and everyone he loves! Sounds good?"

Emerald crosses his arms. She looks at him with angry eyes. She then sighs. "Yeah. Its not like we have a choice. Its not like Cinder wants us to mope around anyways."

The men carry the large crate. "Carry the big box to the tru-" Then a needle hits the top of the crate. "Huh?!" The men then looks up on the roof of the warehouse to see someone with a dark jacket, flapping on the cold breeze of night time. "Boss! Its Bruce Wayne! Its fucking Batman!"

Emerald and Mercury looks where the others are staring at and see the intruder. "Its him!" Emerald yells out in anger.

Minato stands tall. "Now I know what you guys are thinking, 'how did he found us so quickly?' You guys want to know how?"

"Oh god! He used his spider senses!"

Mercury chuckles while Emerald face palms. "Heh heh...idiots am I right?"

Minato then brings out his phone. "You bozos didn't hang up your phone!"

Emerald then turns to Mercury with fire in her eyes. "YOU. FORGOT. TO HANG UP. YOUR SCROOOOL?!"

Minato brings his phone back. "Now lets get down to business."

Then Mercury looks down to see needles on his feet. "What the?!" Mercury then falls over with his feet stuck on the floor. "Agh!"

Minato then jumps down to everyone's level. "Now hand over the illegal coils, unless you want a piece of this." He brings out his sword from his back scab. The men surround Minato with guns and swords. "Wow, you really stepped up your game guys." He smirks. Minato then jumps up and pounces at the ones with the guns as the criminals begin to panic and shoot everywhere. Minato uses that fear to his advantage and hides in and out to take down the rest. Once all the guns are taken care of he shifts his focus on Emerald. He rushes in and gets in her way while she was on her way inside. "Hold up."

Emerald grits in anger. "You! Do you have any idea how much I wanted to kill you?!"

"You'd be surprised on how many people think that."

Emerald then shouts. "AAAH! You are DEAD!" She readies her green tomahawk and swings out of passion.

Minato easily dodges. "Give me a break." He then readies a chop to the neck. "Hm?" His hand fazes through Emerald as if she was a ghost. "That's right, she does that..." He looks around and see's an open door on the warehouse. He goes inside and overhears Emerald carrying a handicapped Mercury.

"Ugh! How can you let him get you like this?!"

"Shut up! Just give me those boots!"

"Alright. Are you sure you can take it though?"

"Oh I know I can!"

Minato hides behind a crate and see's Emerald gives Mercury new metal boots. These ones has coils placed in. "Aw crap..."

Mercury then tests his kicks. "Yeah! Now this is more like it! Lets give this new upgrade a spin!"

Emerald is still on her serious face. "Now Merc, this is only the prototype, so it could malfunction if your not too careful."

Mercury smirks. "I got this." Then he kicks the air, causing a powerful gust of wind break. Minato jumps out of the way and see's the crate he was hiding behind was cut clean, then the wind blows the crate into many pieces. "Ha Ha! This is the kind of power I like!"

Minato then throws more needles and Mercury jumps out of the way. "Great. You guys really know how to be pains in my ass."

Mercury chuckles with confidence. "Laugh while you can. But your going to die tonight."

"To you guys? Not in your life." Minato runs out of the warehouse. He rolls out of blasting range from Mercury's dangerous new upgrades. Minato then readies his sword.

Mercury then walks towards Minato. Then speeds up and runs straight at him and readies a jumping kick. Minato ducks. He tries to give Minato a face full of metal, but Minato keeps on dodging and striking back with his sword. Both boot and sword clashed and making flares with each clash. "Ha!" Mercury picks up some speed on his kicks as Minato jumps out of range. Then Minato's eyes widen once he see's Mercury multiplying all of the sudden. "Huh?"

"Careful Minato!" He hears Mira's voice in his small device in his ear. "You have to remember that Emerald can bring out illusions!"

"So that's her name?" Minato asked

"GO TO HELL!" The greenette screams out from the distance.

Mercury then jumps up along with his other duplicates. He smirks as he gets ready to battle the Wild Card. Mira shouts out, "Look out Minato!" Then something dashes past her. "Huh?!"

Mercury gets closer to an on guard Minato. "Hope your ready to-huh?!" Then in a flash a burning figure dashes in front of Mercury and punches him with great impact. "UGGH!" As soon as he got hit, all of the duplicates faded away.

"WHAT?!" Emerald see's her partner fall to the ground, knocked out in one punch.

The beaming figure of light then dims down and all Minato and the others could see now is a young man with a black jacket, slacks, and a cap as he adjusts it. "Who the-?!" Minato is both shocked and confused.

The young man is paled skin and grey dull eyes. He then tips his hat to Minato. "We'll stay in touch, Minato Arisato." He then jumps out, and disappears without a trace.

Mira runs to Minato. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah. But who the hell was that?"

Mira then flinched. "Wait. What about Emerald?!"

Minato then goes to where Emerald yelled at, and they gasp at what they saw. A tied up, unconscious Emerald. "Is that a..."

Mira shakes her head. "No. Not an illusion..."

Minato feels uneasy. This guy just came out of nowhere and beat those guys with no trouble. That and he knows who Minato is. "He knows my name...'we'll stay in touch?' Just what is he planning?"

Mira feels uneasy as well. "I don't know...I can't even see any illegal coils in him..."

Minato shrugs. "Can this day get any weirder?" Then a portal opens in front of them. Someone drops down on her face. Minato and Mira looks down to see an unconscious girl with a red hood. Then a head of a dark wolf with red eyes falls through the portal and it disappears into black mist

"Hey, Isn't that Ruby Rose?!"

"...Give me a break..."
