残り:四の影/ Remnant's Four Shadows

Volume 1, Episode 5: For Want of a Swarm

Swarm – noun – a word that can be used to describe a group of butterflies.


Chronoa had finished watched the latest episode of RWBY and she already started to reboot several other smaller timelines now of frustration. She wrote a list of issues…only to stressfully crushed the list up.

"Ugh." Chronoa said tossing it aside. "I'm going to watch the Camp Camp timelines instead."

She listened to see what Team YUKI had done later tonight.


The smallest of effects can have drastic changes on the world if just one thing was changed. Of course, Team YUKI did not really care for this as the original timeline was not that pleasant in the first time. However, Team Yuki would walk the line between Spanners in the Works and Butterflies of Doom.


(White Fang HQ – Vale Branch – Medical Ward)

Eyes caked open as pain shot through the body. Adam looked around to realize he was in a hospital room and saw the doctor come in. A chameleon faunus dawned in white, Dr. Veau Blanco. She was the third youngest of the Blanco clan and the only child of the clan left in the White Fang.

"You're awake. That's good, you've been in a coma for two weeks after that human attacked our base. By some streak of luck, no casualties. But most of the injured were poisoned thanks to that human bomb and cannot continue working for the Fang." Veau said holding her clipboard. "30 had to be discharged a day later the attack due to medical complications. Another 10 quit despite having no injuries. They refused to continue serving if the "Crossroad Killer" was still around."

"Damn it!" Adam snarled. "I'll run a sword through him!"

"About that…I'm sorry, but it's best you see this." Veau said rolling up a full-length mirror.

Adam gasped that his entire left arm was gone, and his right hand was gone leaving a stump.

"You weren't poisoned, but the force of the explosion shattered your aura and sent hurdling into our weapons vault." Veau said sympathetic. "Nearly lost your horns and your balls."

Adam shook and screamed out in frustration.

"And there's worse news…" Veau said. "Our high leader….made a statement the day after. Its better you see this."


(13 Days Ago)

"So, that's how your semblance works? Think about insane." Ivory said taking a seat on a bed to process.

The team were in what the Triplet's apartments was as they raided for valuables. They had found lien and dust for themselves, and information on the HuMann Order to use for their benefit. Yuki had just explained his semblance's true nature to Ivory and Kelly.

"Yuki, you literally have a mental-spiritual computer program for a semblance! And considering both Faunus and Humans rely on technology so much…" Kelly remarked.

"It pretty much makes Yuki broken beyond belief. Basically, as long as technology advances, Yuki gets more broken by the year." Lapis said summing it up. "Let's face it, we all have broken semblances if we use them correctly."

"Fair point, but still…could Yuki take over the CCT?" Kelly asked.

"That used to be a theory I had." Yuki said with a wink.

"You're basically what Atlas wishes Penny could be." Ivory said getting up from the bed. "No wonder you have to keep that secret."

"As far as the public knows, I just copy others." Yuki said with a sigh. "Even that's too much, but whatever. I already made sure to secretly use my powers to limit who saw the broadcast. People know, but not as much."

"Either way, let's go. It's time I reunited with my "big sisters". I believe it's their birthday today." Yuki said tearing a portal open. "Lapis, clean up this place to leave no trace."

"On it." Lapis said using her command of water to literally clean the place.

The ridding of fingerprints, DNA evidence, and any other trace that YUKI was there was gone as the four went through the portal.

-Y-

With Junior's Club being still repaired, a certain pair of twins were holed up in their apartment bored out of their skulls and out of work for the long haul until it was repaired. Yang never really thought of the fact that her outburst led to people being out of work.

"Hey, sis. You've been staring at your cup of coffee for a while now." Melanie asked her twin.

"It's supposed to be our 21th birthday, and we can't celebrate with the party we planned thanks to that blonde bitch." Miltiades said bitterly.

Melanie sighed as she was just as livid as her twin, but she was trying not to sulk. However, a swirling portal appeared in the middle of the room. Miltiades scrambled for her weapons, and Melanie was seriously regretting having only heels for weapons as she was not wearing heels. However, out of the portal came someone they have not seen in a long time.

"Happy birthday." Yuki said as his team stepped through.

"Yuki! Lapis!" The twins said tackle-hugging Yuki and Lapis.

"Sorry, I haven't called. It's a long story, but I wanted to come see you two after I made sure to empty the triplets' apartment. I found out that your place of business got wrecked, so here." Yuki said handing them both rolls of liens. "Better the money that the HuMann bastards had be burned on something useful."

"You shouldn't have." Miltia said with her cheerful smile returned.

"It gets better." Lapis said raising up Alamite's scroll. "I've been looking through the scroll, and I discovered that Alamite stole a lot of money from the White Fang."

"How much we're talking?" Everyone asked.

Lapis gave the scroll to Yuki and he looked through it while growing a shit-eating grin on his face. Lien signs flashed on his eyes as he jumped up on the table dancing on it with strangely no music playing.

"Team YUKI are officially billionaires!" Yuki whooped.

Ivory and Kelly's jaw hung as Yuki had plenty of ideas of what to do with the money.

"First off, we'll need transfer the money out of Alamite's account to my account. That'll be easy for Serena and I to handle." Yuki said as a holographic keyboard and screen flashed to life in front of him as he stepped off the table.

"What the heck is that and who's Serena?" Melanie asked completely lost.

"Mil, Mel, we can talk after we go grab some breakfast. Is Kerry's House of Munch still around?" Lapis asked.

"Sorry, they closed down." Miltia remarked. "We could go to the Nekohanten. It's a new place that I heard plenty about."

"Wait, Nekohat..Shit, they're in Vale now?" Lapis said annoyed.

"Something wrong?" Melanie and Ivory asked.

"The Nekohanten is a front for the Shèngyàmǎxùn or the Remnant Amazons. Basically, a group of women who are tough as nails and traveled through the harsh landscapes terrorizing any stupid fuck who got in their way. They live the way of the nomadic outsiders who eschew the typical kingdom society. We, as in Yuki and I, have history." Lapis remarked. "About four years ago, a bit after Yuki and I met, we traveled to Crossroad Village for Yuki to mourn, but…"

"The Amazons had plans to take over the village to live there. I take offense to that and challenged them. They had me fight their heir, Shampoo, who was about my age. If I won, they were not allowed to violate Crossroad soil. It was a tough fight as I did not have the semblances I had now. I had to rely on your training and my skills with Manifesta and Armis. I had won, but they had a catch of their own. If a man defeats one of their own in combat, the defeated warrior must marry him. However, I passed on the offer and told the Amazons to piss the hell off of my land. Ever since, I've seen the old bat find ways to try to convince me and Lapis to join their tribe. At least, she's not forceful as she back then and only asked us once a year since then." Yuki explained.

"How strong are we talking?" Miltia asked.

"They make that girl who smashed your club look like a child looking a temper tantrum. They can wreck half a kingdom if its forces were caught off-guard by them. Most of them don't even have semblances or haven't awakened them yet. In fact, they eschew using them and settle for being just inhumanely strong. The leader, even though she's an old woman, can scare Grimm off with a glare alone." Lapis remarked.

"A lot like my father. The tribe values the use of Manifesta and Armis like my family. It's a miracle none of them are Silver Eyed Warriors." Yuki said keying away.

Team YUKI realized rather quickly they had a lot of explaining to, and Yuki decided that the twins could be trusted. Thus, they were let in on the dirty details…the lore, Yuki's semblance, and their stint with Tempus. The two were dumbfounded and were probably keeping their composure.

"A technique that can let you bypass aura? That explains so much…" Miltia said with her mind blown. "Does the Nekohaten deliver?"

"I might as well call them…." Yuki said asking Serena to find their number and call them. "But I can trust you with our secrets."

The twins were still blown away with what they were let in on such secrets. Secrets was nothing new for those in the underground, but this was bigger than that. Blanks had been filling in their hands as they realized why. Why Yuki always hid his silver eye, why Yuki was good with copying others, and why Yuki was insanely good with technology.

"Of course, you can. But, Yuki, you realize that you house a semblance that basically makes you a one-man army. Hell, it's like you have a team of the most broken semblances possible." Melanie exclaimed. "I wish I could find out what semblance I had!"

"Wait, what history you and Lapis with them?" Kelly asked flustered.

Lapis laid a supporting hand on her shoulder to calm her down as Serena piqued up.

"[Yuki, the Nekohaten is on the line. Shall I put them on speaker?]" Serena asked.

"Go on ahead." Yuki said as Serena put them on speaker.

"Moshi moshi, welcome to the Nekohaten, home to the best Mistralian food. Can I take your order?"

"Pink, how good it is to hear from you." Yuki said dryly.

"Yuki?!" The now named Pink screeched.

Everyone in the room could hear shuffling and clattered before Pink was pushed off the phone and a new older voice took over.

"Ah, young Azure. So, you figured out we set up shop in your turf."

"Cut the shit, Cologne. Why are you in Vale?" Yuki said seriously.

"Well, it's not to wage war. Sadly, the Amazons were sadly robbed. One of more less skilled amazons who is our accountant was killed in a surprise raid. I believe you meet the thief. You do have her portal semblance." Cologne said as Yuki scowled.

"Raven fucking Branwen. Of course…" Ivory said venomously.

"How many died and how much was stolen?" Yuki asked.

"Just the accountant and her sister, poor Ling-Ling and Lung-Lung…as for what was stolen, 35 million. We're not in Vale for you per say, we're here because we're all in no position to travel around as usual." Cologne said bitterly. "We have to pool the last of our treasures to set ourselves here."

"That so? Well, this could be interesting. I happened to come across a lot of money, and I may be able to help you out." Yuki said with a grin.

"Really?!" Cologne said excitedly.

"I'll be willing to hand over 20 million in exchange that the Amazons work for me while you're in Vale. I'll need backup for a few operations because I…have mixed feelings about who I'm getting involved with. Despite your scheming to want me to marry Shampoo, sadly I trust you more than Ozpin." Yuki admitted.

"I don't blame you. But I assume you want to order as well." Cologne remarked. "And how soon can you get us the needed lien?"

"I can deliver it today. Hell, even earlier if you have a bank account. I can just transfer the cash over." Yuki said.

"Give me that." Pink said yanking the phone out of Cologne's hands. "Yes, Yuki. I have the account this time as I head the finances after Ling-Ling's death."

"Under your name?" Yuki asked.

Pink confirmed it and Serena informed him that all the money was now out of Alamite's account into his own. Serena flashed up a message remarked that she also emptied the accounts for the other triplets. Yuki keyed away to find Pink's account and easily transfer 20 million into the account.

"It has been done." Yuki said. "Now I'd like to place my order."

Pink got out her scroll and saw the increase in funds come in seconds.

"Of course, the Shèngyàmǎxùn are in your deb-WHAA!?" Pink said as Colonge shoved her out of the way.

"So, does this mean you'll consider marrying Shampoo?" Colonge asked.

"Colonge, isn't Shampoo enjoying her freedom? She's basically in a state of impunity." Yuki remarked getting Colonge to pause. "Don't expect me to just say yes. Let things go on and see what happens."

"Just know that I will extend the offer to join to your whole harem as well." Colonge said. "Now what I can get you to eat?"

"Harem?!" Kelly said outraged as Lapis face-palmed.

Yuki ignored it and focus on placing an order asking if they have birthday specials as well.

"But Yuki, it's not your birthday." Cologne said confused.

"No, but it's a pair of twins that I know quite well. And they've hit 21 and can't celebrate it as planned. So, along with our orders, I'd like a red velvet cake." Yuki said coolly before giving the address.

"Consider it done, my boy. I'll have Shampoo deliver your order. Thank you for calling the Nekohaten." Cologne said before hanging up.

"Crap." Yuki thought.

"Who's Shampoo?" Ivory asked.

"Cologne's great-granddaughter and the heiress I beat." Yuki said blankly.

"She hot?" Ivory asked.

"She's a knockout, and before you ask, no you can't sleep with Shampoo. Cologne will skin you alive. A good chunk of the Amazon swing the other way or go for both teams, so you try your luck there, but not Shampoo." Yuki said rubbing his forehead.

"Your team is quite the odd case. Is there a reason it's a mostly all-girl team?" Miltiades teased.

"It just is, Milt. We all have our suffering as our bond. This isn't paltry perversion." Lapis said a bit serious in tone.

"Don't be so serious, Lazuli. Milt was just joking." Melanie said assuring Lapis of no hard feelings.

A knock on the door came and Milt answered to only to nearly get run over by a handcart wheeling in food by Shampoo.

"Shampoo." Yuki said phasing out his computer screen and keyboard to get up. "Good to see you again."

She was as he remembered with her long bluish-purple hair and red eyes. She now stood as tall as him with a flattering figure befitting her training. She wore the usual uniform for the café, a pale-blue cheongsam, white sash, and boots.

"Yuki." Shampoo said before hugging him. "Good to see you again."

Shampoo was originally a bit more honor bound to the code of Amazons, but the impunity had led her to be more free-spirited. At first, she felt it as a great insult, but later on realized that his refusal gave her "protection" from people in the case she lost a fight to prevent those who wanted to weasel a way to be either become the new heir or get in her pants. It also helped that him and Lapis were considered "honorary" Remnant Amazons.

"The same." Yuki said. "You look well."

"Same to…Shoot, it seems I have another delivery. I'm already informed that your meal's been paid for already. I'll have to go but do come by the café anytime you like." Shampoo said with a bow before rushing out.

At the café, Cologne was cursing inward swearing she would get Ozpin for ruining the moment. With Shampoo out of the door, the twins would have their party. Thus, would begin the falling dominos.

o-(Next Day, Noon)-o

(White Fang Headquarters, Mistral)

Sienna Khan had been hailed as fearless in her fight for the betterment of the Faunus, but never was she so afraid. For all her actions, she's began to have regrets. She had sent time reading the files and making calls with them all leading to one horrible and clear Earth. Her actions were all for naught. She had gotten a scathing talking down from Mizuki's mother who had visit her son a week before Crossroad was razed, and it only served to bring her mood down. Mizuki and Tsubaki had sent the headquarters letter after letter trying to tell what had been going on at the Vale Brotherhood, but she found it unanswered and hidden. The robberies of the dust trains she could get behind, but not the murders of innocent women and children. Not the raiding of villages for protection money. She had found those letters and more in the Fennec brother's office and it came with photographic evidence as well. Sienna Khan was sickened, and she had to do something today. She had called up a press conference and it was a rare moment when human reporters were allowed in. She got up wearing a whiter version of her outfit looking in the mirror. She sighed and got ready to face the music.

Out on the podium, she was meet with cheers, boos, and people asking questions before raising her hand to silence them all.

"Brothers and sister of the White Fang and the news media, you are all here concern what I have to say about the issue of the Azure." Sienna started off.

"We should find him and kill all his loved ones! Let him a taste of his own medicine!" Ilia yelled from within the crowd.

Sienna facepalmed before yelling, "Are you retarded, girl?! He already had his parents killed by our wayward brothers! I swear if I hear another stupid statement like that, I will make you wish the Crossroad Killer killed you!"

She took a breath and calmed down before continuing, "I apologize for the outburst. Running an organization like this, stupidity runs rampant. As for the matter of the Crossroad Killer, I cannot condemn him for the slaughter of our brothers and sisters in arms."

The White Fang members were clamoring for answers and Ilia threatened a riot only for Sienna to continue.

"I do not like the fact he and his team killed so many of the White Fang's members, but I understand why he did it. I am all for fighting for our rights, but what the Vale Brotherhood has done is nothing but sheer hypocrisy. It's clearly shown they don't give a damn about their follow Faunus when Jamborite's troupe shook them down for money or Adam slaughtering two of our own members. Mizuki and Tsubaki had tried to expose the hypocrisy, the murders, and the actions under the surface. However, there was a coup d'état they accidentally discovered. With help from the Fennec brothers, Adam was planning to overthrow me!"

A good share of gasps as one reporter stepped up adjusting his hat to ready himself.

"Miss Khan, is it true that you mentored Adam initially?" He asked.

"I supported him years ago, but I realized now that I made a mistake. I goaded him, I stroked his ego, and I blame myself for the path he chose. I hoped to use violence to get better treatment hoping to use fear and intimidation to get it. However, it's backfired. Yuki will be a determinant to the White Fang losing face…and we can't do anything." Sienna said with a bitter laugh.

"So, why can't we kill him?" Ilia asked indignantly.

"I don't know, maybe it's because his team consists of someone who controls an element that's EVERYWHERE on the fucking planet, someone who can turn into any kind of faunus, someone who controls light, and the Crossroad Killer who can probably do all three and has an arsenal of other people's semblances! Because we can totally take them on without losing plenty of lives! Ilia, get your head out of your ass! First off, we have no idea what connections Yuki could have! What if he has connections to an army, the government, or who knows? We just saw him with Ozpin not too long ago, you want the whole of Beacon and Haven on our asses?!" Sienna ranted as Ilia's skin color went from her normal hue to invisible. "Damn right, you better stay invisible, you little puissant!"

Sienna went on to stay that there is no point in trying to fight Yuki over this as his grudge was to the White Fang of Vale and asked her fellow members if they wanted to entertain the idea of Yuki being pushed to go all over the world to hunt every one of them down to which most sided with Sienna on.

"Which is why I'm going to do two things, most drastic, but I decided to do them anyway. The first is to say this message to Yuki Azure." Sienna said as everyone was on the edge of their seats. "I'm sorry this happened to you. Crossroad's fall was a senseless waste of life especially considering your father was avid faunus rights supporter. It actually disgusts me that he was killed out of sheer spite. I know my words can't undo the pain you endured nor the mental trauma of it all, but I only hope that this encourages you not to pursue the other branches of the White Fang."

Apologizing was hard enough for the White Fang to hear, but the next statement was probably worse. She made it official and publicly disavowed the entire Vale Brotherhood. She also called for the expelling of the Fennec brothers considering them traitors. That was a bigger bomb as the crowd was split on the issue. There were those for this, those against the idea, and those for it only because the Vale Brotherhood had stolen funds that were going to go other things. The White Fang were a terrorist group, but even they had to pay taxes to keep the kingdoms from actively getting on their cases. Sienna then took questions from reporters for another hour before the photo op was finished. Guards escorted the press out and Sienna returned inside with a massive headache joined by her assistant.

Her assistant, Mara, a Besenji dog faunus, came with a pair of glasses and a bottle of Menagerie rum. She wore business clothing befitting her thick and curvy frame while keeping a professional appearance with heels and glasses to boot. She was now responsible for dealing the finances after the brothers.

"Mara, how bad does it look?" Sienna asked as Mara poured a glass.

"Financially, we enough to deal with taxes, but not to pay most of the grunts and lieutenants. Even with cutting off the Vale branch…their criminal dealings were actually keeping us with a surplus." Mara said honestly. "I'm afraid this is going to haunt us in the future."

"Even if I hadn't…either choice would have ruined the White Fang later on. Alamite, that bitch! No offense." Sienna said hoping not to offend her faithful assistant.

Sienna took a swig enjoying the exotic coconutty passion-fruit flavor and its thick liquid going down her throat.

"Oh please, it's no issue at all. Total bitch, she was. I didn't want to tell you before, but I want to let you know that all of Alamite's accounts were cleared out. The Vale bank Alamite did business with refused to help us citing they won't let us get that money back. I did some digging, and I realized something. Alamite had her information concerning her bank on her scroll, and it was recently used after her death." Mara said downing a glass right after speaking.

"I'm going to bet considering its most likely Team YUKI who's three billion richer." Sienna said. "I wouldn't be surprised if it was."

"You'd be betting, right. They were in the news for donating 50,000 to assist in people's medical care for victims who were poisoned by that HuMann woman." Mara remarked.

"Oh great…" Sienna said pouring another glass.

"We have another problem." Mara suggested. "Concerning money and the Vale branch."

"What now?" Sienna said glaring at her.

"Seems a member who recently quit not too long ago was that living off the expense accounts." Mara said producing a file. "You remember her?"

Sienna opened it and scowled.

"Ghira's little kitten. Honestly, of all the people in the White Fang, I never fully understand why she joined." Sienna remarked. "Daddy's girl had it made."

"I believe Adam may have been manipulating her in ways Ilia wanted to. I'm actually ashamed that we glossed over the fact that Adam was grooming her, and Ilia was trying and failing to the same." Mara said exasperated. "I found this yesterday. Ilia was rushing out of the bathroom and she dropped it."

Mara pulled out a photo showing a younger Blake in the middle of changing and Sienna gagged.

"I believe she's about 14 in this…picture." Mara said disdainfully.

"Seriously! I just wanted to run an organization for faunus equality! I didn't ask for this shit!" Sienna roared.

"Well, what do we do?" Mara asked.

"For one, get Ilia out of the White Fang immediately. The longer she's associated with us, the risk this gets exposed increases. Hell, I'll have to swallow my pride and call Ghira." Sienna said downing the entire bottle.

"It could be worse…" Mara said hopefully.

Down in the barracks, Ilia was packing her bags. Her associate, a horse faunus, Spirit, watched in disdain. He was her partner on a few operations and he also had a thing for her. Of course, she had her eyes only for Blake much to his displeasure. Of course, there was also other things that prevented them from ever being a thing.

"You know this is a stupid idea. Are you really going to do this?" Spirit said.

"If you won't avenge those faunus, I perfectly will. Me and a few others are heading to Vale to kill that bastard and his bitches." Ilia said fuming.

Spirit could have went and told the higher ups about this, but he decided not to. If Ilia wanted to commit suicide and possibly get herself and the White Fang killed, he could care less. He was already planning to quit and return home to Menagerie either way.

"You know what…fine. Do what you want, I won't stop you." Spirit said getting up. "But I want something in exchange for me keeping my mouth shut."

"If it's sex you want, the answer's no. You know full well, I don't do men." Ilia hissed.

"Oh please. Sex with you is worthless to me at the moment. I'm more interested in your collection of photos of that cat you fawn over. I want some of them for myself." Spirit said as Ilia's face wrinkled in disgust. "Don't be a hypocrite…I know you're using them. Besides, Blake's in Vale anyway. You could get the real deal."

Ilia was uncertain, but her desire for revenge clouded her judgement. She handed some of them over and Spirit left with Ilia unaware that she put herself in danger. By nightfall, Ilia and two others would leave for Vale before Sienna issued Ilia's expulsion order. Spirit left for Kuo Kuana with a smug grin on his face leaving behind a letter of resignation for the White Fang to find. Spirit fancied himself a Robin Hood figure and was riding a houseboat he stole in one of his previous operation. He looked over some of the photos.

"I don't know who Ghira is going to skin first.…Adam or Ilia?"


(White Fang HQ – Vale Branch – Medical Ward)

"I can't believe it either. We've been disavowed." Dr. Veau said bitterly.

Adam let a primal roar before asking about the Fennec brothers only to be informed that they made it to Vale and have been overseeing operations with Ilia in tow as well. Even with the added help, it did not help to hide the fact that they were all disavowed by the High Leader herself and this could lead to the kingdom of Vale declaring open season on the Vale Brotherhood.

"Dr. Veau, how long until I can get replacements for my lost limbs?" Adam asked.

"Weeks to months. I'll make some calls." Dr. Veau said leaving the room.

Adam had no choice but to stew at the fact that he now had no hands. It did not help that the television was playing a marathon of a certain unpopular show.

"Doctor! Get in here and change the fucking channel!" Adam screamed.

Too bad, he needed fingers to touch the buttons!


(A/N: Yes, there will be some small crossovers. First up is Ranma 1/2, a manga I was introduced to through Love Hina's fanfiction (specifically writers like Snafu the Great and Karndragon). The reason why is I wanted to give some added backup and give Team YUKI people more likely to beat them in a fight. So, the butterflies had flown off with more early birds soon to arrive. And remember that the future vision triggers depending on the "person" met. Ah yes, this is going to interesting. I'll be taking suggestions for Amazons to add to the mix. Send it through PMs (and not in your review), a name, description, Semblance, and weapon. If I like it enough, I'll throw it in.)
