残り:四の影/ Remnant's Four Shadows
Volume 1, Episode 2: First Fights
Lisa Lavender did not know what to expect when the footage malfunctioned and suddenly showed new footage of some backwater village in the outskirts of Vale during the news hour. She was about to call technical difficulties, but she found something newsworthy to report and the rest of Vale (and Patch) would be now watching…
Midoribi was a small village where its economy was mostly focused on mining, farming, foraging, and/or fishing to sell within the village and to Vale's main city for it could turn a decent profit within the seasons. However, there was one problem, in the form of the White Fang members that were squeezing the place down for "protection money" and today was payday.
Jamborite whistled a merry tune after causing that explosion from earlier that could be seen from afar. She loved being a White Fang commander for being able to do whatever she pleased to those who "oppressed" her. The bear faunus led a bit of an independent all-woman troupe consisting of the wolf faunus Alamite, the sheep faunus Quartz, and the falcon faunus Marble. The cowering villagers were all gathered near the house belonging to the grand elder, who had the misfortune of being Marble's father, Slate.
"Marble, your leader just blew up a quarter of the crops! How do you expect us to supply you if you keep destroying them?" Slate said trying to stand tall.
"One of your brats threw a rock at me, and I had to return the favor. Now about that child…" Jamborite said looking down at the terrified child who was inching away immediately regretting his defiance. "I'll just have to make an example of you. So, choose. Your arm or leg?"
"Please, don't take either." His mother pleaded coming up with some lien. "I can pay for your mask…just…"
Jamborite slapped her hand away not interested in her lien at the moment as they fluttered to the ground.
"It's about the principle. I'm an elite in the White Fang, and I can't have some human worm think they can do that and walk away in one piece." Jamborite said with her green hair glowing in the light. "Or maybe I could just split the skull open. What do you ladies say?"
She was a mountain of a woman and was holding the child by his head with one hand.
"Go for it. It'll keep these guys in line. "Alamite said using a file on her claws.
"I actually want to see you do that. You have bragged that you have before, but I bet 500 Lien you can't." Quartz said waving the roll of Lien confidently.
"Honestly, I don't really care either way." Marble said using a table to snort up Electric Dust to achieve her "high" "Oh yeah, there's the stuff."
"Well, I can't say no to a bet." Jamborite said as she squeezed down with a fanged grin.
The child screamed as everyone who was not in her troupe watched horrified. However, a chilling tune began to play in the air bringing everything to a stop.
[Mood Music: Outlast Official Soundtrack _ 02 Welcome to the Asylum]
"The hell?" Marble said.
"So, even after all these years. The White Fang is still acting like a pack of bullies instead of doing anything productive. Then again, you had Adam as a leader. So, I'm not surprised you're still oppressing your own kind and humans. You four make me…quite angry."
"Who the fuck's speaking?" Quartz said fuming.
"Maybe it's the Crossroad Killer." Jamborite said loosening her grip on the child's head.
"Lunar." His mother said relived her child was not in any pain before getting him to safety.
"Crossroad Killer?" Marble said still high off the Dust. "What's all this about?"
"Oh right, I forget that you're new. So, let me tell a story….years ago, there was a mission to deal with a village that was "suppressing" faunus. Crossroad Village. Of course, that was the excuse Adam used for him to attack the place to get back at two ex-members, Mizuki and Tsubaki, who wanted to leave because they condemned Adam. You remember that cat bitch Adam was weirdly close to? His right hand?" Jamborite said gesturing to a paranoid Quartz.
"More like his go-to onahole. I remember Belladonna quite well. Hated the catty little bitch." Quartz said coldly.
"Well she and I were tasked months prior to find them. Blake and I had done so, and after a bit of lying and manipulation, Adam led them in for an attack. I remember the look on Tsubaki's face as Adam shot the fetus she was carrying before killing her. Good times. But about the Crossroad Killer. Apparently, the village leader had a son as Adam killed him and Mizuki in front of said son. That child triggered a silver explosion that wiped out quite a few White Fang members in that village seemingly vaporizing himself in the process. We never confirmed if that kid died, but Vale did. As far as the world knew, it was a Grimm attack that took the lives of those people." Jamborite said with a fanged look on her face.
Jamborite had no idea that the people of Vale were watching and listening to them. With choice words, she had essentially exposed a covered-up murder and was slowly shredding what little good reputation the White Fang left.
"Over the years, White Fang members in Vale were dying mysterious and violent ends to which the police could not even solve. So, it's a running joke that the Fang believes that child's ghost is going around killing those who hands were bloodied by the fall of Crossroad." Alamite said with a chuckle.
"Wait, how many died?" Marble asked with concerned.
"150." Jamborite said flatly.
A shadow moved through the dark corners of the village and Marble saw that.
"Uh, Commander Jamborite, just out of the curiosity, what does the Crossroad Killer look like?" Marble asked shaken.
"Well, here's makes him stand out. He's got hetrochromia….one blue eye and one silver one." Jamborite said as Yuki dropped his invisibility to appear nearby and not far behind Jamborite.
Alamite paled snapping out of her high, Quartz dropped the lien shaken, and Marble took a step back. Lunarite stammered and sputtered, but words failed.
"So, I'm a ghost, huh? I'm pretty sure I'm alive and well." Yuki said in a chilling tone.
Jamborite turned around and the music came to a halt as they stared at each other. The clear sky broke into rain giving off a darkened sky.
[Music Ends]
"I have to say." Yuki said with a grin of his own. "Thank you for filling in the blanks. Now, I will not feel guilty killing you four. In fact, it'll be my team's pleasure to deliver some karma."
"Team?!" Quartz said only to get hit by an attack hard enough to send her through a barn.
"You thought I came alone. I had plenty of time to get stronger and meet others that the kingdoms botched up on. She was from Mistral." Yuki said jovially.
WHAP! Marble had a face first meeting with her father's window.
"Atlas." Yuki said blankly. "Which leaves the one from Vaccuo."
Tendrils of water grabbed Alamite and flung her into the air causing her to land into piles of collected stone. UKI made their entrances with Kelly made herself visible being she was in her chameleon faunus form before shifting back to her human form. Lapis came out of the corner she was hiding in dispersing the tendril as Ivory followed cracking her knuckles.
"Who the hell are you?" Jamborite said taking a drop back.
"We're Team YUKI, and we'll be the last thing you'll ever see." Yuki boasted.
"Don't get cocky, you ghostly bastard!" Jamborite said throwing a punch.
Her semblance allowed her body to become solid silver and emit the explosive silver fulminate to give her attacks an explosive edge. Like the Schnees, Jamborite's semblance was actually a family semblance. The Vzryv family semblance allowed for one to get the power over a different explosive material found in nature. Yuki did not flinch using Manifesta to dodge the coming punch and deliver his own right into her stomach.
"It's not cockiness, sweetheart. I'm stating the fucking obvious." Yuki said as Jamborite staggered back. "I will make this place your grave."
Yuki was already scanning the woman's semblance and internally learning about it in the process. As Jamborite and Yuki fought, he gave orders to split off to take on one of the WF members authorizing lethal force if they wanted.
-(Ivory vs Quartz)-
[Mood Music: DragonBall Advanced Adventure - Battle Tension]
Quartz staggered to her feet and dust off the hay off of her body as chickens, ducks, and rabbit skittered away from the sheep faunus.
"I'm sorry about punching through that wall, but I figured it'd make for a cool introduction." Ivory said opening the barn doors to walk in. "Ivory Viridian."
"Quartz Cocin." Quartz said getting to her feet. "Wait a second, I know you. The poor woman's Pyrrha Nikos."
[Mood Music: DragonBall Advanced Adventure – Danger]
Now Ivory was a laid-back woman and played herself off as mostly too relaxed for her own good. But if there was one thing she could not stand, it was being compared to Nikos. BOOM! Quartz was sent flying into the village's wall screeching out in pain. Using a blast of light, Ivory had blown up half of the barn and sent the sheep hurdling into the wall while walking out absolutely livid.
[Mood Music: DragonBall Advanced Adventure – King Piccolo]
Quartz fell on her feet realized she made a critical error in bringing that comment up. Quartz tossed her mask off her face along with her White Fang jacket before triggering her semblance. Quartz let out a scream as her body bulked up from her pudgy build to a more firm one. She grew black wool at the back of her head and over her tail. Her long wooly tail has many small, yellows orbs attached to it. Her conical faunus ears retain their stripes but are now segmented with swirled tips. A pair of draconic wings lined with wool formed out of her back.
"Ok, I won't lie. That is cool." Ivory said still walking up to her.
Yuki's semblance was already scanning Quartz and Kelly was making note to get a DNA sample off Quartz to study for later.
"Impressed? The Haban family's infamous for our draconic semblances." Quartz boasted.
"Thanks for confirming my theory!" Kelly yelled in the distance.
"You can thank me where you're dead!" Quartz said flying into the fair. "I doubt you can get up in the air to stop me, Second Hand Nikos!"
Quartz had felt invincible in her dragon form and cocky in the air thinking she was safe. Taking a breath, she spewed yellow electricity in her plasma breath down at Ivory causing an explosion hoping she was vaporized. As the smoke cleared, there was nothing but a scorch mark on the ground.
"The fool thought she could take me. She could not even touch Nikos!" Quartz said laughing vigorously.
Then came a tapping on her shoulder from behind and Quartz turned to meet Ivory's fist fueled by her monstrous strength again. Ivory had dodged the blast and used the Twilight to make herself invisible. As for flying, she formed an aura of light around her body to allow for flight. Quartz's jaw dropped before she paled noting the scowl on Ivory's face.
"Damn it, if you think you can beat me in the air, you're still dead!" Quartz said unleashing her trident engulfed with her flames.
"You'll die trying like the rest." Ivory said as she unsheathed Hachiman and Ares to clash against Quartz's trident.
Crossing her swords, she blocked Quartz's next jab only to be kicked away. Making a platform of light below her feet to stand on, Ivory prepared to finish this fight and had an idea. She had the platform float down to the ground before stepping off it to let it vanish.
"Hey Haban, I want you to hit me with your best shot. Not with your paltry trident, but with your fire. For a dragon, your flames should be your only weapon. Unless, you're just a woolly gizzard with wings!" Ivory taunted going for goading her. "Why do you even bother being a grunt of the White Fang if you're so "great"? Adam makes you look like a little bitch."
Haban was seeing red as her body sparked dangerously as Ivory had struck a nerve for her. She dropped her trident and took a deep breath bellowing a great roar engulfing the spot Ivory to make a massive fireball. Quartz flew the ground completely exhausted return to her pudgy form as the attack had cost her stamina and her aura.
"Totally worth using all my aura." Quartz said panting.
However, the flames started to darken in color becoming pitch black.
[Mood Music: One Piece : Zoro - Battle Theme]
The flames swirled around molding into a visage of Salem herself as Ivory came flying surrounded by those flames with Ares out.
"Armis Iai: Salem's Smoldering Song!" Ivory said slashing through Quartz before landing gracefully on her feet still on fire.
Quartz's slash wounds tore open engulfing her in flames leaving her only to holler in pain as Ivory sheathed Ares. Before Quartz could fall, Ivory whirled around shooting her between the eyes with Suki securing the kill.
"I wield the light and darkness living within its twilight." Ivory said as her aura was slowly healing her burns.
Quartz's body was incinerated as the flames around Ivory died out. She stretched to get the crick out of her neck before taking up Quartz's trident.
"I wonder…" Ivory said imbuing it with light before trying again with darkness. "Okay, I have got to keep this. An emitter weapon is quite rare at least. It'll definitely have better use in my hands."
[Music Ends]
-(Lapis vs Alamite)-
[Mood Music: Undertale – You Idiot]
The wolf faunus tumbled to the ground with her back aching and soaked from the rain. Lapis strode up with a blank look on her face.
"I suggest you pray. It's the only thing you can do right now." Lapis said in a stoic tone.
"Pray? Are you fucking with me?!" Alamite said hastily snorting Fire Dust to boost her body's strength. "Once I activate my semblance, I'm going to kill you-GYAHH!?"
As she pointed at the glaring Lapis, rainwater surrounded her head with a layer of ice around her. Alamite tried to break the ball of water around her head, but Lapis restrained her with chains of water. Alamite screamed as she fought for breath.
"You idiot. You thought you could beat me in the rain…." Lapis said shaking her head. "Don't worry, you'll die quicker than the rest."
Lapis came close to lay a hand on the sphere around Alamite's head slowly freezing the inside solid. The wolf faunus saw her life flash before her eyes and her last memory was Lapis' words to pray.
"Dear Oum, who art in heav-"
Those were Alamite's last words before her head and neck were frozen solid. Lapis released the chains and the body fell forwards. The head broken into pieces of bloody ice with bits of the WF member's skull in them. Lapis raided the pockets for cash and also found a basic dust pistol.
"May as well." Lapis said pocketing it. "You won't be needing it."
[Music Ends]
-(Kelly vs Marble)-
Marble thought she had Kelly on the ropes by staying in the air and shooting at her with her machine guns. Of course, the only Kelly had not tried to attack as she was trying to secure the civilians. Yuki had led Jamborite away from the main area of Midioribi hoping to give Kelly space. With Slate getting the last man inside, Kelly turned to deal with Marble.
"Have you no shame? Your opponent was me, yet you tried to use these people as human shields! Aren't you suppose be fighting for faunus rights?" Kelly said with disgust.
Marble's response would sicken even the head of the White Fang.
"I guess, but I joined on just to get away with my crimes. White Fang makes good for covering for my murders, my stealing, my drug operations, and ruining men's lives by crying victim. I don't even care for fighting for fighting Faunus rights." Marble admitted with a smug grin. "It's all a means to an end."
"Then I doubt you care that your partner's dead." Lapis said walking away with Almaite's mask in hand. "I could deal with you, but Kelly deserves a one on one. I'll deal with the civilians."
Kelly smirked as she undid the thin orange rope for her haori before tossing it over to Lapis.
"Aw, how you going to get me up here?" Marble jeered.
"It's funny. Quartz said the same time before I clipped her wings." Ivory said walking up with Quartz's Trident. "I'm pretty sure Kelly has the means to kick your face in without our help."
"Certainly." Kelly said as she took a form familiar to Marble. "You'll have to thank Quartz for this!"
Kelly had transformed into Quartz's draconic sheep form gaining the bulk up as well. Her bodysuit with pads on the back and lower back to phase out let wings and tails down. The main difference was the bulbs were blue and the wool was green. Marble was slackjawed and so was the people watching.
"My semblance allows me….to become any animal and by extension any kind of the faunus so kind as I am knowledge of them. I gain even special animal-based powers." Kelly said flying up to her. "And oh so much more."
Marble opened fire as Kelly did the same with her new heated branch melting the bullets and Marble's guns.
"Well…fuck." Marble said blankly. "I guess I should surrender….SIKE!"
Marble caught Kelly off-guard with a flashbang to her face before flying away leaving Jamborite alone. Marble was hoping to get a good distance only to get punched into the ground by Kelly herself who was a bit blinded.
"You do realize I don't need my eyes to deal with you? Enhanced senses…dumbass. I can smell the cocaine on your socks, the cheap ramen you had for breakfast, and that you haven't washed properly because you clearly had sex last night with about 2 human men and a spider faunus woman." Kelly said flying down to land on the ground as Marble got up.
"Damn…." Ivory said impressed. "Remind me never to bet I could go without self-pleasure around her."
"I won't." Lapis said with a cheesy grin.
Marble realized that was bad as she was outnumbered and outgunned. So, she did the logical thing and surrendered.
"I…I admit defeat!" Marble said falling to her knees. "There's no use fighting you."
"That's nice, but it's too bad you're lying. Best part of my powers, living lie detector." Kelly said flashing a dangerous grin.
"Well then, fuck you!" Marble said getting out a grenade as a last-ditch attack.
"Armis Iai: Crescendo!" Kelly said rapidly unsheathing Cobalt Crush to launch a blue crescent moon-like projectile of compressed air.
The attack sliced through Marble's arms and stomach before Ivory swatting the project away with Hachiman before it got too close to her and Lapis. Ivory walked past Marble only to take the cracked mask off her face. Marble's body fell forward in two halves as blood oozed on the ground. Kelly returned her normal human state a bit winded.
"I'm going to have to train that form because my body feels like I just fought 1,000 Grimm with no rest." Kelly said as Lapis give her support with an arm around her waist. "Thanks."
"Figured, you'd want me to do that, considering Ivory's scents of sex would irritate your nose." Lapis joked.
"Oh, screw you, I haven't been fucked in a week!" Ivory touted with a pout.
BOOM! An explosion rocked the ground as the rest of team were watching Yuki deal with Jamborite.
-(Yuki vs Jamborite)-
"Why do you only dodge my attacks?! Fight me, Crossroad Killer!" Jamborite said as Yuki flipped backwards to gain distance.
"There's a reason for that. I've been playing coy to test your limits and examine your skills. The art of a good warrior is one who not only using his strength, but his brains. Plus, your semblance made you a risk factor for my teammates. So, I've using toying you to ensure that your buddies were taken out the equation. Seeing that my team is watching on the roof of that building looking slightly injured, I'd say that your squad mates are dead." Yuki said in a calculating tone. "I suggest you beg for this town's forgiveness if you want to walk out of here alive."
"You think I'll do that! Fat chance, you prick. Let's you handle an explosion that will take this entire town with you and your precious team." Jamborite said as her body took a silver metallic hue. "If you're so confident, let's see this full power from years ago when Adam killed your worthless father!"
[Mood Music: You Say Run – My Hero Academia]
Those words stung deep even if he knew she was goading him. Memories swirled of his parents and only added to the determination to give her exactly what she asked. His blue eye flashed silver as he brushed aside the bang his second one. Then came the silver flames as Yuki unleashed his aura sending shockwaves throughout the village with his mood music blasting.
"Oh fuck, here's it comes." Ivory said excitedly.
"Game's over for her." Lapis said bluntly.
Kelly was silent watching the small tear descend from Yuki's face. This battle was a personal one. Yuki flung his arm back engulfing it silver flames as his eyes glowed brightly. Jamborite crushed a Fire Dust Crystal to engulf her own hand in flames as they both charged screaming at the top of their lungs.
"Any last words, you miserable little shit before I sent to your father?" Jamborite said with a wild look in her eyes.
"Yeah, you're fucked!" Yuki screamed.
Yuki discretely used Lapis' semblance to surprising Jamborite by binding to make her an open target. Before she could react, she was smashed by that silver flamed fist in her stomach tearing through her "armor" and shattering her aura. Her body filled with silver as she screamed for mercy on deaf ears.
"Argentum Perficito!" Yuki said before using that one final punch to send her airborne.
"Going, going, going, and she's gone!" Ivory said as Jamborite before a twinkle in the sky. "It's a grand finish!"
[Music Ends]
"And that's that." Yuki said as the flames died out as left eye regained its blue coloring.
Lapis came up and readjusted his hair back to the way it was as Kelly asked how far Jamborite will fly.
"I don't even know…I might have enhanced that punch." Yuki said with a wink. "But she is going to die either from the impact or the blow's aftershock tearing her heart out."
"I got my hands on that wolf woman's scroll." Kelly said holding it up. "Think you can do a sweep of it?"
"Later, we need to head to Vale first." Yuki said a bit winded.
"Well, you're in no state to get us there, so I'll deal with that." Lapis said manipulating some of the clouds above.
Pulling down one big enough for all of them and their things, she molded it having it take a greenish color. Ivory put their things on top as they all boarded the cloud as it started to lift into the air.
"Wait! Thank you all for saving our village." Slate said as the village waved goodbye.
"You're welcome!" Ivory said cheerfully. "And don't worry about paying us. Just have some huntsman take the credit."
"Really? You're encouraging them to do what Lionheart did to cover the 20 times we saved Mistral from cults, mad scientists, and a horde of Grimm about to slaughter a group of unaware huntresses and huntsmen." Lapis said dryly.
"Honestly, if Vale finds out that a group of nobodies did this, then we'll make the huntsmen look incompetent." Ivory remarked.
"Besides, ever since Lionheart ruined our chances at ever going to academy to get our license, I'm resigned to this. Constantly protecting Remnant in the shadows with no respect to our names. It's a sad truth, Lapis, but it's one we all endure and dutifully do." Yuki remarked.
"I still don't like it, but as long as your happy, Yuki." Lapis said reversing her vitriol.
Kelly looked to Yuki with a bit of worry concerning earlier and Yuki had a hand on her shoulder looking into her assuring her in all face before letting go. Lapis had the cloud take off for Vale leaving the village behind as the villagers were cheering for them. Team YUKI was off to Vale to make their return blissfully unaware Vale knew to they were coming.
(A/N: This one was a bit longer as I wanted to get down the fighting styles for Team YUKI and how they all go hand in hand from learning from each other. I also got to indirectly show off Manifesta and really show off Armis. Next chapter comes the reactions of the people of Vale after the feed cuts out.)
(Edit 11/15/2018: I will most likely need to edit the trailers, but this was more pressing. Grammar was cleaned, and I removed unneeded music cues to replace with Mood Music to properly build it up.)
(Edit: 11/22/2018: How I missed these glaring holes, I'll never know, but I patched them up to finalize this chapter.)
(Edit: 1/2/19 : Chapters 2, 3, 4, and 5 were edited, cleaned up, and finalized.)
(Edit: 3/20/19: Chapters 1, 2, and 3 were edited AGAIN for errors missed and hopefully finalized for good.)
