Niren Argent: Niren looked at the scene around him, it was a familiar one, corpses littered the ground, as well as several VITOL's the Knights refused to surrender out of the forty five that attack them only ten had survived at Mithril's insistence. "Hey Niren, it's Vanir and Nexus." Talia said, drawing him out of his reverie. "So it is." He said while started to walk over to his brother, steam rolling off of his body as well.
"Right, so two Knights of the Round dead." Vanir said while sitting at the counter of the wrecked stall that his friends had been eating at before the attack, Vanir noticed some blood dripping down one side of the counter.
"Yes, it would appear that, as well as the White Fang and their new friend's, the Knights of something planned for the festival." Niren said while examining the circuits in the Hades, he had a cigarette in his mouth, and used some of the sparks from the circuits to light it.
"That begs the fucking question though, What the hell IS their plan?" Vanir said while taking the cigarette Niren had lit for him and putting it in his mouth, flinching a little because some electricity coursed through his entire right side for a moment. Niren only shrugged, he was smart enough to predict the plans of most opponents, but Knight Commander Pendragon was far smarter than him.
"Great, the military's here, looks like they sent a specialist as well." Niren said after taking a moment to look around, he saw a woman who looked very similar to Weiss striding towards them with a group of robots.
"Right, i've had my fill of Knights today." Vanir said while slowly rising and making sure to grab Gram, he made a show of resting the flat of the blade against his left shoulder.
Lirril Evergreen: Lirril put on her usual quiet face as she saw the Schnee striding towards her, "Is there a problem?" She asked the Schnee.
"Of course there is, an attack from terrorists in broad daylight and eight students killing them instead of taking them prisoner? That counts as a very large problem." the Schnee said with a scowl.
"Do you know where my other teammates are?" Mithril asked after running up, only to get a nasty stare from the Schnee.
"Bring them." The Schnee said to one of her robots, a moment later it returned with both Rennic and Torque in tow, the two of them had been handcuffed.
The robots brought Rennic and Torque as well as their weapons, Magna Carta and Kronus "These two destroyed a train in their fight, and HE blew up a bridge." Schnee said while pointing at Vanir and the others. "Oh yes.. because we didn't keep citizens alive by containing our fights." Vanir said with a grin spreading across his face, his hand already releasing a wave of heat.
"Vanir! stop." Lirril said, the Half Faunus was in Schnee's face, Gram out to his left, anyone with a brain could tell he was itching for a fight with her. "Quiet." Vanir said while looking back at his partner, his eye was copper. "Oh shit." Talia said for the both of them.
Vanir Argent: "Come on Schnee, i want to see what your little army is capable of!" Vanir yelled while swinging Gram at Winters head.
"Vanir calm down!" Lirril shouted at him, He only swung at Winter again, and once again she smoothly dodged his attack, the robots keeping Rennic and Torque from moving however managed to be cut in half by Gram's razor edge.
The next swing Vanir aim for Winter was blocked by a saber, Vanir only smiled as he disengaged himself from the specialist and took up a stance with the hilt of Gram point in the air while the tip was pointed at the ground, his legs were bent and were moving up and down in sync with his breathing. "Finally, i get to see that military training Atlas is so famous for." Vanir said with savage glee.
"If i beat you, you are going to tell me everything you know about the Argent Knights, their strategies, their current military strength, and their technology." Winter said, her voice calm and her blade held out in front of her, Vanir only nodded, he would have told the military what he knew from three years ago anyway.
Mithril Fullbuster: Mithril stood next to Nexus, watching the scene play out, she wasn't sure why Vanir decided to pick a fight with a Schnee especially one who was a specialist from Atlas, but he did. "Nexus, anything odd about that saber of hers?" Mithril asked while nudging her team mate.
Nexus took a moment, his eyes glowing as he analyzed Winters weapon, after a moment he turned to Mithril and said "Nothing special, other than what appears to be a stiletto." Mithril sighed, Vanir was on his own.
Vanir Argent: "You want fucking information?!" Vanir yelled while swinging Gram, Winter was blocking his attacks better than most people could ever hope to. "The Argent Knights were at half their strength in terms of ships when i fought them last, they had hordes of robots, and plenty of fucking supporters!" He said while exchanging more blows with her.
Winter only continued to fight him, at this point she wasn't even trying to dodge his attacks, she was just blocking and striking back. "The Maleficar will handle this, keep your fucking military out of it!" Vanir shouted before stopping mid swing, a short blade was stuck in his stomach, Winters saber had a blade shaped hole in it. "Fuck you." He said, Winter soon began to hit him with a flurry of strikes, not seeming to care if he was hurt or not, within seconds Vanir had several dozen cuts and stab wounds on him, half his left cheek was missing as well, revealing the sharp teeth and his jaw.
"Trying to gauge those implants meant for healing eh?" Vanir said, the wound on his cheek made it difficult to understand him, soon steam began to roll off of him as his aura as well as several healing implants inside of his body began to fix them. "I don't blame you, it's what makes the Knights so difficult, and fun to kill." Vanir said while sheathing Gram "I'm going to get drunk now." He said while walking away from the Schnee.
Niren Argent: Niren sat down at the table that team RWBY was at, he began sip on the coffee that Talia brought him, after a few sips he decided to let it cool a bit, while he waited he decided to answer the questions everyone but Lirril and Talia had been plying him with.
"You want to know who attacked us?" He asked them calmly. "An organization that we worked for, not unlike the White Fang, only they don't give a damn about races." He took a sip of coffee, he wasn't pausing for dramatic effect, he was just trying to stay awake.
"These guys call themselves The Argent Knights, you may have seen some of their handiwork in the past, research labs ransacked, military bases turned to glass, etc." Lirril said while her friend took a moment to drink some coffee, She noticed Blake stiffen.
"Those attacks that are blamed on the White Fang, most of the large scale ones were done by them, this attack today will most likely be blamed on the White Fang as well." Niren said, he wanted to avoid the whole sap story about how he and Vanir were forced to kill and receive augmentations to their bodies that allowed for enhanced strength, speed, vision, and faster healing, but he felt that this was not the time for secrecy.
"The Knights took me and Vanir when we were young, neither of us remember how old we were, a side effect of the augmentations, for about five years we did what they wanted, then three years ago, we decided to lead a rebellion, they liked to call the Ebon Rebellion, we ended up wiping out half their armada, and losing about three hundred and fifty of our own." Niren said grimly, he always hated the looks people gave him when he recounted the exact number of allies he lost over the last few years.
"We have been fighting them since those of us left went to ground, Vanir and I here at Beacon, and about One Hundred across Remnant, though given how we all fight, it could be less that twenty now." He said while doing the math in his head, he took a moment to notice that everyone was silent and staring at him, except for Talia who had put a hand on his shoulder. "Go on." She said to him.
"This was the first time they decided to attack us in broad daylight, they most likely have a stealth ship nearby, Mordred could only have gone so far, i need some sleep, so i won't say anything else for now." He said while getting up and downing the rest of his coffee, Talia got up and followed him, Lirril decided to stay and talk with the others for a while. "Something big is about to happen." He thought to himself as he left the cafeteria.
Vanir Argent: As was his usual thing to do after a very stressful situation, or just a bad day, Vanir decided to go a get himself drunk at the nearest bar, he had left that place hours ago after drinking the entire stock, his healing implant made getting intoxicated very difficult.
"Sir, you need to come with us." a soldier said when Vanir stumbled on the campus of Beacon. "The hell i do…." Vanir said while trying to move past him, the soldier grabbed his shoulder, only to have his arm and most of his back broken by the drunk faunus half breed. "I hate you fucking military types." Vanir said, slurring his words a bit.
"Let go of him Vanir." Said a man that always angered Vanir, "Well…. if it isn't the fucking big man himself, come to grace me!" He said loudly, turning to face the General. " I aint going to talk about the Knights, you know damn well that they were your own little Black Ops group that failed, and now you want me an Niren to clean em up for ya, too bad, im done fixin your problems." Vanir said while stumbling towards his dorm, leaving the General with a wounded man and a confused expression.
Vanir is a hopeless drunk. Thanks for reading and putting up with my many errors.
