My Brother and I, are planning an event that will take place after chapter 15. This Event will be positively massive and exceedingly important.
However, until Chapter 15 is released, I cannot open the poll for it.
The Past is the Past, and the Future is the Future.
To change the past, you must change the Future.
To change to present, you must change the Past.
History, Time, and Fate are all matters of opinion.
HUNTER
Try as I might, I couldn't stop the tick in my right eye, as Glynda paced back and forth in the small interrogation room.
"Do you have any idea of the repercussions of what you've done? Raiding Area 51? And for what? A new set of clothes?" Glynda asked angrily.
After I'd returned from Aionios, I'd been quickly surrounded by Atlas soldiers.
Sure I could've taken them all out, I wouldn't have even needed to do anything, I could've just sicked Ramarak on em.
But that would make the already bad situation worse, and I didn't want to have an innocent life, if any, on my consciousness. So I'd let Winter, and by extension, Atlas, capture me.
As for why I was now wearing the Royal Guard uniform from BOTW, minus the hat, was because they took my clothes and tried to make me change into some prison clothes.
I'd been in those clothes for around 10 seconds when I decided to change into my prison clothes.
It'd taken a couple hours, but I'd managed to convince them to let me see Ozpin. But, as Ozpin was currently outside and dealing with Ironwood, I was left to deal with Glynda's wrath. Finally having enough of her ranting, I leaned forward, summoned Dawnbreaker, and put it on the table, silencing Glynda immediately. "What is this?" Glynda asked after a moment, walking forward to pick up the Daedric weapon and inspect it.
I waited a moment and leaned back as Glynda held Dawnbreaker in her hands, turning the blade around and admiring its glow. "It's a divine weapon," I answered, and Glynda quickly placed Dawnbreaker back on the metal table like it was radioactive. "It's Divine? How did you come across this?" Glynda asked, and I sighed. "First you need to understand, that this weapon, and the god who made it, aren't from this realm." Glynda's eyes widened, but I didn't elaborate further, "I'm sure you want to know the full explanation, but I don't want to repeat myself, and I don't want to be in this cell any longer. So perhaps we can skip past the scolding and you can bust me out of here?", Glynda looked between Dawnbreaker and me, her eyes flickering between the two. "Glynda, I think we should help him. He was wrongfully attacked after all." My eyes flickered behind Glynda, where Ozpin, Ironwood, and Lionheart had entered the room. Seeing the traitor of Haven I stood up immediately, narrowing my eyes, "Calm down Hunter, Ironwood has forgiven you for your actions today." Ozpin said trying to calm me down. Glancing at Ozpin I asked, "Is this room under surveillance?" Ironwood nodded, and I said, "You might want to fix that. I have Info about the whereabouts of the Queen's plans." Ozpins eyes widened, and with a glance at Ironwood, he nodded. The general pulled out his scroll, and pressed a few buttons on it, while Lionheart looked intrigued about what I had to say. With another glance at Ozpin, the two headmasters shared a nod, and Ozpin looked at me. "What do you know?" he asked, and Lionheart foolishly chose to walk next to me. Without warning, I summoned Deathbringer, its blade already pressing against Lionheart's throat. "We have a traitor in our midst. Don't we Lionheart?" I said coldly, glaring at Lionheart out of the corner of my eye. Glynda and Ironwood both stepped back at the sudden movement, Ozpin flinched and Lionheart's eyes widened in panic. "Release Lionheart this instant Mr. Aurum," Glynda warned, my words not registering with her, but even as I watched I could see both Ozpin and Ironwood realizing what I said. "Leo, is this true?" Ozpin asked, a sad expression on his face. Lionheart flinched, but I didn't let him speak, as I answered the question I knew was in their heads. "Because he's a coward. A coward who holds his life above the life of others. Who do you think sold out Amber? Heck, I'm willing to bet that the bastard was involved in Summers's death." At my words, Lionheart finally seemed to gain the courage to speak, "Lies, I've never betrayed you Ozpin, and I never will." I turned to face Lionheart, but before I could threaten him Glynda spoke, "Mr. Aurum, do you have any evidence to back up your claims?", and realizing I didn't, I paused, and almost immediately I saw a flash of hope in Lionheart's eyes, "Perhaps next time you accuse a loyal ally of Professor Ozpin you should get some evidence to back up your claim." Glynda continued, and as I dismissed Deathbringer, I couldn't stop the snarl that bore on my face. "I'm sure Mr. Aurum is sorry for his rash actions Leonardo," Glynda said apologizing to Lionheart.
This was bad, I'd accused Lionheart, revealed to him that I knew, and they weren't believing me.
In this kind of situation, where one accused another, no matter the outcome, trust would always be lost.
I knew I was right, and so did Lionheart, I just needed some way to force the truth out of him.
Use your Monado.
My Monado?
How was that going to work, It let me see the future, not the past.
Shulk's Monado lets you see the future, not yours.
Your Monado gives you the power of Influence.
My eyes widened slightly as I remembered what the description had actually said.
It wasn't Shulk's Monado, Nor was it Zanzas or whoever the Mechon lady was, It was my Monado and Unnamed Monado.
And It never said the Future, it said Influence.
Narrowing my eyes, I said, "I can and will prove it, Glynda, Ozpin, Ironwood." the three huntsmans looked at me with mild confusion, while Lionheart's eyes widened in fear. Holding out my right hand, I summoned my Monado.
Instantly I could tell, It was unique.
The Sword itself was the same length as the Monado I, around 4 feet long, and even its hilt was the same. But beyond that, It shared little in common with Shulks.
The Blade wasn't Red, but was a metallic silver instead, and was more akin to a key than a sword in shape.
From point to end, it was double-edged, the center having the same design as the Monado 1 did, and right above the Hilt, the blade edges curved around a seemingly clear gap, which would glow with the markings and symbols of its powers when I used them, and just like Shulk's Monado blue markings lined the inside of the blade.
My guess, was when I activated it, the outer blade would split and move to either side of the sword and a Blue Ether Blade would erupt from it.
(Search up Monado Zero, That's the design of my Monado)
Pointing the Monado at Lionheart with my right hand, I narrowed my eyes, just had to figure out how this thing worked.
Like your Darkness.
You simply need to will it.
Ah, thanks.
Taking a deep breath as I closed my eyes, I focused on the blade in my hand, on its power, and on its influence.
When I opened my eyes, I could already see Lionheart sweating, and I could feel his will struggling against mine. "Tell the truth" I whispered, my voice cold and still, "I am, I'm innocent." Lionheart struggled, and I narrowed my eyes, walking forward a couple of steps, I repeated, "Tell the truth." Lionheart shook his head, and I bared my teeth, fuck persuasion. Fear would have to do.
Activating 20% of my darkness, I felt my presence fill the air around, and the power of the Monado grew. A moment of resistance was all Lionheart had, as I growled, "Salem can't protect you from me."
And like a bursting dam, Lionheart fell to his knees. His will shattered "I did it. I'm the traitor."
Dismissing my Monado, I turned to look at Ozpin and Glynda, an eyebrow raised, "I told you so." and as the three Huntsman looked at me, the only sound that filled the room was the sobbing of Lionheart, as he muttered, "I'm the traitor. Me."
"I still find it hard to believe that Leo was the mole all along," Glynda muttered as we walked through the halls of Beacon. "How did you discover his true loyalties?" Ozpin asked, and I flinched.
How was I going to explain this?
"Magic." I answered, and Ozpin turned to look at me, "I think that's obvious at this point. But what magic? That Silver sword you summoned, Or something else?" I sighed, Ozpin wasn't going to let up.
While I could always tell him that I'd used my Monado, I'd revealed Lionheart's loyalties before I'd summoned it. But there was another option.
"Raven Branwen told me." I answered, stopping both Glynda and Ozpin in their tracks, "You have contact with the Branwen tribe?" Glynda asked, and I shrugged, "Kinda. I decided to spy on the Summer maiden, or is Raven the Spring maiden? Eh, I forgot. Anyway, I spied on her, and saw her meeting with Salem and Lionheart." At the mention of Salem, the hallway darkened, and I heard a sharp intake of breath from both Ozpin and Glynda.
Ah, right, they didn't know Raven was a sort of traitor.
"So she has the allegiance of the Spring Maiden." Ozpin muttered grimly, and I winced, "Uh, kinda? I don't really know the extent of her allegiance to Salem but-" Ozpin turned to look at me, "I need you to do something for me." I stopped and looked at Ozpin with a confused frown. "Do what?" I asked, and Ozpin rubbed his eyes in frustration, "Raven is one of the most powerful warriors in Remnant. Her skill alone rivals Qrows, but with the powers of a Maiden, it makes her almost unstoppable. I'd loathe to ask anyone, as they would almost certainly die, but you're far different and powerful. So can you eliminate-" I held up a hand stopping Ozpin, "I'm going to stop you right there Ozzy, while Raven is certainly a problem we must deal with, I don't want to kill her. I'm here to help protect Remnant, be it from criminals or Grimm. But killing, where capture or anything else is possible, Is above the line." Ozpin deflated slightly, and I chuckled, "Besides man, I'm legally broke right now." "We could offer you money to deal with Raven." Ozpin offered, and again I chuckled, "Mate, I'd curb stomp Salem for a Mcdonald's sprite, you don't need to pay me to protect anyone. Well, most people at least." I muttered the last part, and Glynda looked at me in curiosity, "What's a Mcdonald's sprite?", I ignored her question.
-New Quest!-
-Cursed Comments-
Objective: Curbstomp Salem
Rewards: Mcdonald's Sprite
Fuck I didn't mean it literally!
Ahh, too late now.
As we continued our path through the halls, I realized with slight surprise we were heading toward the cafeteria, and I walked a bit faster.
Stopping outside the room, I could hear the sounds of conflict and… declarations of war?
"Noo! Yang!" Ruby's voice came from the other side of the doors.
Aahh, the Food war of Beacon.
Looking back at Glynda and Ozpin who were staring at me with expressions of confusion and curiosity, I said, "Wait here." before opening the door and entering the battlefield.
"HERE'S JOHNNY!"
"We bow to you! The God of War!" Ruby, along with several other students, mainly Nora, Yang, Jaune, and surprisingly Pyrrah, declared as they bowed to me in respect and reverence.
When I had entered the Cafeteria, calling it a warzone was modest.
It looked like Hurricane Katrina had rolled through, barfed on the walls, curb stomped whatever common sense the students had, before giving them enough caffeine to give a water buffalo a heart attack.
Which was to say, that everything was an absolute mess and I narrowly dodged an apple pie as soon as I walked in.
Yang had screamed as she was launched into the stratosphere, and Ruby had cried out in grief that she had lost her sister.
Normally I would've joined in on the fun, that was why I had entered after all.
But all plans of alliance-making were thrown out the window, hanged, and ran over with a bus when Nora made the fatal mistake of hitting me in the face with a peanut and butter sandwich.
The room had gone quiet as the sandwich had fallen to the floor, and the moment it did, Hell broke loose.
I had lunged forward, grabbed an entire table still covered with food, and yeeted it at Nora with the force of a man seeking retribution.
I then proceeded to grab every piece of food thrown at me and launch them back at my foes, and after I grabbed Cardin I used the screaming boy as a Human shield/Bat to defend myself as I proceeded to annihilate the entire present Student body of Beacon.
The result was a mortified Cardin, a disgraced Student Body, a Cult of followers, and a Flawless victory in the war, which took around 20 minutes.
"You never told me you could dodge like that!" Ruby said in amazement, and I shrugged proudly. It was true, I had dodged or blocked, but mostly dodged, every single piece of food tossed at me. "I never took you for the dodging type." Blake observed with an eyebrow raised, I shrugged, "I'm really good at weaving through a crowd of people as well." "You ruined my dress!" Weiss shouted angrily, and I looked at her up and down, it was true, her white dress was covered in food. "Perhaps next time you'll think before you participate in such childish practices Ms. Schnee," Glynda said from behind me, and I had to bite back the swear that nearly left my lips. Weiss looked down in shame, and as I turned to look at Glynda, I nearly flinched from the glare that she gave me. But instead, Leveled my own death stare back at her, not blinking or moving an inch as I stared at her.
Finally, after around 30 seconds of Glynda trying to keep herself from blinking, she blinked and tore her gaze away, and I smirked lightly. Dominance asserted.
"Don't think you aren't going to face consequences Mr. Aurum, you made this entire situation worse and used a student as a human shield," Glynda said, glancing at Cardin, who was probably staring at me like he was going to kill me.
"What are you going to do? Give me detention?" I taunted, feeling brave, but as Ozpin walked out from behind Glynda, a twinkle of opportunity in his eye, I almost regretted it.
But a life of Almost was a life of never.
SALEM 3rd
"What?!" Salem, queen of the Grimm, yelled in anger as Cinder bowed her head even further. "Lionheart has been compromised, the Golden Scaled Faunus, Hunter Aurum, revealed his loyalties the instant he saw him."
Salem snarled, her magic emanating off her, causing Cinder Fall to turn a shade paler.
Taking a deep breath, the Dark Queen calmed herself, Cinder Fall was a useful pawn. Especially with the power of the Summer Maiden within her.
Losing the Fall Maiden had been an arguably annoying obstacle and problem, but luckily for both her, and Cinder, they had located the lost Summer Maiden, and now Cinder had her full power.
Although the Fall maiden would've made a lot more sense, it was Cinder Fall after all, not Cinder Summer.
But she digressed.
"Who is this Hunter Aurum? Is he the wizard that stopped your capture of the Fall Maiden?" Salem asked coldly, as a hologram of a picture of Hunter Aurum appeared in front of her. "No, the wizard that saved the Fall Maiden, had brown hair and blue eyes, and was shorter."
That didn't bode well.
As the numerous photos of Hunter Aurum flickered through, each one different, Salem considered the strange boy.
Even just by looking at him, Salem could tell that Hunter Aurum was a wellspring of potential, and a wildcard unlike anything Ozma, or her for that matter, had ever seen. Not only was his Semblance unregistered, but he appeared to have several of them…
Salem's eyes widened as a photo of Hunter battling the trio of criminals appeared. But that wasn't what shocked and frightened her.
It was the dark patterns that covered his right side.
"What is that? His Semblance?" Salem asked, the worry in her voice hidden completely. But Cinder didn't answer, as it was Arthur Watts who did.
"No. His listed semblance is named Gust. Which gives him the ability to control wind or gasses on a focused and compact scale. In fact, he has displayed several abilities that cannot be explained. Summoning weapons from thin air, and then dismissing them just as quickly." Watts said, as a video of Hunter summoning golden weapons, and then dismissing them appeared in front of her. "Could he have magic? Like the Wizard who… beat me?" Cinder asked a hint of venom in her words.
Salem leaned back, but her eyes continued to linger on the dark patterns that appeared on Hunter. "So, you've noticed it two?" Watts asked as he nodded to the Darkness. Salem nodded, while Cinder looked confused, "What about it? If he's a wizard then he might just be using your Darkness." But Salem shook her head, "Unlikely, my Darkness doesn't work that way. He, and the Brown-haired Wizard, may be members of a new group of maidens. A male variation." Watts and Cinder both looked at her, then at Hunter Aurum with confusion, surprise, and finally interest.
"A male Maiden?" Cinder asked quietly, and Salem answered, "A Bachelor. This Hunter Aurum may be the Bachelor of… say, shadows. And that Wizard you met may be the Bachelor of the Sky or Storm. But I would like to be certain." Standing up, Salem nodded to Cinder, "Gather your allies. You are to find, and if possible, capture this Hunter Aurum. But I want him alive. If you kill him, you will suffer." Cinder nodded a faint look of fear in her eyes. As she stood, Arthur Watts went with her and left the Queen of Darkness alone with the images of the Golden Faunus.
HUNTER
I didn't know when, but I heard something, and I opened my eyes.
I looked around, it was midnight, and I was in my bed. Alone.
The faint sounds of machinery were all I could hear.
After a minute of waiting, I decided that there was nothing to worry about.
What an Idiot I was.
"Hey, wake up!"
My eyes snapped open as I was smacked across the face, by Cinder Fall.
My eyes widened, then narrowed as I tried to stand, but I couldn't.
Glancing at my arms and legs, my heart stopped when I saw Black chains covering them.
And they were magic.
"So, you're finally awake. Hunter Aurum" A cold, feminine voice said in front of me. My head shot up as my eyes widened as I saw Salem, the Queen of the Grimm, sitting on her throne before me.
"Tell me, do you know who I am?" Salem asked tilted her head slightly, and I snarled in response.
"You are the girl in the tower. Salem, Immortal Queen of the Grimm and Ex of Ozma." I said, and I could practically see the surprise in Salem's eyes.
"So this is the boy you were so worried about Salem? I'm not impressed." My head shot to the side of Salem, as I saw Raven Branwen beside her.

…
WHAT?!
My eyes widened as I stared at Cinder Fall, the Fucking Summer Maiden!
"You seem quite surprised to see me here," Raven observed while I suppressed a growl.
"Tell me, Hunter Aurum, you know who I am. So who are you? Where are the others?" Salem asked, and I frowned in confusion. The Others?
Ahh, right, Bachelors.
"Ain't tellin' you shit. Salem" I snarled, making Salem frown, but I turned my attention to Cinder, "Oh, and Cindy. How's it feel to play with the big boys now?" Cinder's eyes widened in mild surprise as I continued, "Please, I can tell. We all have magic. Ravens the Spring Maiden, and Cinders the Summer Maiden. So you can cut the crap." Salem frowned, Cinder Snarled, and Raven's eyes widened in slight surprise. "Tell me, Hunter, do you know who Ozpin truly is?" she asked, and I scoffed, "Yeah, Ozma. I also know about your plan with the relics, and your little transgression against the Brother Gods." Silence fell over the room, and all that could be heard was Salem's heavy breathing. "I ain't joining you Salem. In fact, I've already promised Ozpin that I'm going to curb stomp your ass. So be a good little girl, let me go, and I'll break your jaw between the pavement and my foot." Salem stood up in an instant, her face barely hiding her fury. "Cinder, get Adam, and bring him here. It seems we'll be taking Hunter's power by force." My eyes widened slightly at Adam's name, and Cinder smiled, as Adam walked into the room. "Already here, Mistress. And I can't wait to try out some magic." I snarled at the Bull Faunus, as he walked up to me, putting on a Black Glove that he was given by Salem.
"Should've put your ass in the ground when I had the chance," I said, and Adam smirked in response. "Yeah, you should have, 'cause now I'll bury yours."
I kept my eyes on Adam, as he held out his right hand, and a Grimm parasite, the exact same as what Cinder would've used on Amber, sprouted from it.
Game, is there an actual chance he can steal my magic?
Not with a Grimm Parasite.
Your Magic is far too potent to be absorbed.
Plus on the fact that I am here, and you have nothing to worry about.
Okay, I'm safe
But like hell was I going to let a parasite touch me.
As the Parasite screeched and lunged at me, I snarled and activated my Semblance, cutting it in half, and tossing Adam back several feet.
"Fail, try again next time!" I taunted, as Adam shot to his feet. "I thought his semblance was inventory." he said looking at Cinder, but I laughed, "No it fucking ain't. It's Gust. But what I'm about to do, is not my semblance." I said, before activating 20% of my darkness, and as the demon mark appeared on my forehead, I broke through the Chains like they were putty. And I returned to base form.
I growled as I had a silent stand-off with Salem, Cinder, and Raven ready to attack at any moment.
But as I prepared to attack them, I heard a voice that froze my blood.
"So, you're still alive boy."
My eyes widened, as a shadow emerged from behind Salem's throne, skin white as chalk, black hair, and red eyes.
It was Azrael.
Flashes of our last encounter shot through my mind like a hot knife through butter, the pain, the torture.
The fear.
All of it came back as I stumbled away from the Angel of Death.
You must Escape.
Unlike Salem, Cinder, or Raven, Azrael is still too powerful to combat.
Retreat is your only option.
But how?
How the fuck was I meant to escape Azrael?!
My heart beated faster and faster, and I could feel the blood draining from my face, my entire body. Azrael laughed, "So you remember. I'm surprised you survived boy. You prove to be almost as unkillable as Salem. Maybe even more so."
Azrael's stats were the same as before, how was I meant to combat him?!

Salem grinned at my fear, almost appearing as if she savored it.
"You will die here. So that you never find your heritage." Azrael said as he walked forward, his shadow stretching out…
Wait shadows…
My eyes widened, as I reached into my inventory, praying to whatever Gods controlled my Gacha Tokens, that I would get lucky.
-Ender Pearl x16-
A throwable pearl, you teleport to wherever it lands
THANK GOD, FUCK EVEN THANK THOSE BROTHER GODS!
Summoning an Enderpearl into my hand, I summoned all of my strength, threw it as far as I could, and prayed that it worked before I got skewered.
My hopes were dashed, however, as Azrael rushed forward, and impaled me with his arm. "You aren't getting away," He said.
Then I teleported.
GLYNDA 3rd
Glynda's day had been… less than stellar.
Being told that a trusted friend, Leonardo Lionheart, the headmaster of Haven academy, was a traitor, and seeing the truth being forced out by Hunter Aurums' seemingly endless bag of tricks, had certainly put a dampener on her attitude.
Hunter Aurum, even as she thought of him, a sense of confusion filled her mind.
Some Faunus, most commonly higher predator Faunus, would emit an aura of some sort, for Lions it was royalty, and for Snakes, it was deception and untrust. But Hunters Aura was completely different. He radiated an Aura of power, and an Aura of domination, that said, 'Bow to me, submit to me, or else.' It was an Aura of a tyrant, and yet, Hunter didn't seem aware of it.
Shaking her head, Glynda tore herself from her musings, Ozpin had assigned her to find Hunter's place of residence, and that was what she was going to do.
But before Glynda could take another step forward, she heard the sound of an incoming projectile, and looked up quickly, where, much to her confusion, a purple-black pearl was falling towards her.
Cautiously, Glynda created a shield, should the pearl prove hazardous. But as it would turn out, her caution was unnecessary, as upon hitting the ground, the Pearl broke, and in an instant, the bloodied, donutted form of Hunter appeared in front of her.
Glynda's eyes widened in shock as she dropped the shield, and rushed to Hunter's side, dread quickly creeping in as she saw the wound in his chest. Judging by the size and structure, someone had plunged their arm into Hunter's chest.
Glynda glanced around Hunter searching for other possible injuries, her mind going a thousand miles an hour as more and more blood gushed from the open wound.
This wasn't good.
Hunter was going to die.
Grabbing her Scroll, Glynda went to call Ozpin, and as she dialed his number, she glanced back at Hunter, and froze as an inky black… energy, emerged from the wound.
"Yes?" Ozpins voice asked in her ear, yet Glynda didn't answer, her focus was completely on the phenomenon occurring before her.
"Glynda?" Ozpin repeated a hint of worry in his usually stoic voice. "Are you okay?"
Even as Glynda watched, the black energy, Darkness, she remembered Hunter calling it, healed him. The bleeding stopped, and once the Darkness dispersed, there was no trace of the previous injury, save for the ruined clothes.
"I'm fine, Professor, no need to worry," Glynda said holding the scroll to her ear, "Hmm, are you sure?" Ozpin asked, and Glynda despite herself, nodded, before saying, "Yes I am sure. I'll tell you about it later." And hung up, right before Hunter's eyes shot open.
SALEM 3rd
"You let him get away!" Salem yelled angrily as she walked up to the Titan's face and stared him in the eye. Azrael scoffed, "Watch your behavior Grimm Queen, it's unbefitting of one such as yourself to show such emotions." Salem flinched at the taunting tone, but she wasn't an idiot.
Azrael was one of the most powerful beings on Remnant, few rivaled him, and Salem wasn't one of those few. And even with the power of all 4 maidens, Salem doubted she could best Azrael in combat
Stepping away from the Titan, Salem took a deep breath to calm herself, before speaking again. "Loathe as I am to admit, you are right Azrael. But the fact remains, Hunter escaped, and now he knows about Cinder's status as the Summer Maiden." Azrael chuckled, "It matters nothing in the end. I will merely find him again, and kill him once and for all." But Salem rounded on the Titan, a flare of magic erupting from her eyes, "You will do no such thing. Remember, I granted you the gift of magic, you are indebted to me." Azrael narrowed his eyes, had it been any other titan, Salem wouldn't have dared play that card, but Azrael was unlike any of his brethren, he had a certain degree of honor, and that honor forbade him from going back on a debt such as the one he owed her. "Fine then. But who else are you going to send?" He gestured to Raven and Cinder, "These are your strongest pawns, and I doubt they could end the boy.", Salem glanced at Raven and Cinder, that was true, Hunter had managed to survive Azrael not once, but twice now, and that meant Cinder and Raven would find it nigh impossible to end him. But perhaps…
"Then send one of your brethren. I'm sure a Titan such as yourself has the power to do the job" Azrael raised an eyebrow at Salem's words, "You want to send a Titan who has no loyalty to you on the boy?" Salem nodded, and Azrael sighed, "Fine then, but when the boy's body returns in too small of pieces for you to use, don't say I didn't warn you." Salem gritted her teeth, "That's fine by me."
HUNTER
"Ow"
I opened my eyes quickly, and sat up, raising my right hand to feel where Azrael had donutted me. With a sigh of relief, I found that I had healed completely, thanks to Darkness. But I was still somewhat shaken.
"So, you're finally awake"
Raising my head, I saw Glynda crouching in front of me, a concerned look on her face. Realizing what happened, I groaned in annoyance, "I guess you want to know what just happened?", and Glynda nodded, with another sigh, I replied, "Got kidnapped by Salem, learned something I'll make her regret, nearly got murdered by the Angel of Death, teleported here, used Darkness to heal myself while you oogled at me but aside from that I'm just peachy." The last part was layered with sarcasm, though it wasn't really necessary, I was in a bad mood.
Glynda's eyes widened as spoke, "You were kidnapped by Salem?" I nodded, "Yeah" Glynda stood up saying, "Can you walk?", I rolled my eyes before jumping to my feet, "I'm fine Glynda. What is it?", Glynda looked in the direction of Beacon, before saying, "You'll need to tell Ozpin about this." and I shrugged in response, "Wasn't planning to hide it."
AZRAEL 3rd
The Angel of Death sighed as he watched his brother end his final victim. Their screams of terror and horror ended in a gurgling sound. "What is it brother Azrael?" the Titan asked, turning to look at him.
"I have a job for you." Azrael answered, earning a chuckle from the Titan, "A job? When did I ever listen to you? Mr no-mag" he taunted, but Azrael narrowed his eyes at the taunt. "I can always ask our sister. I'm sure she would love to do what you cannot." The Titan froze, and a low growl left his lips, "There is nothing she can do that I can't do better. Azrael." Azrael scoffed, before holding up a photo of Hunter Aurum "Then prove it. Bring me, or Salem, his, preferably intact, corpse." The Titan laughed at Salem's name, "Ah right, that witch bitch still got her grubby hands on you? Why don't you just kill her already?", but Azrael growled in response, "You and I both know Salem is not only immortal but our best bet at getting revenge on the Brother Gods and Ozma." The Titan sighed before turning away, "yeah, yeah, I know. Anyway, can't say I promise a mint condition corpse. So expect a couple open wounds when I bring him in."
Azrael grinned, "I'm counting on it."
And… there we go! Chapter 11 is done!
Now, Again, I'm running around doing whatever I feel like here, but I am trying to have a somewhat defined plot.
Also, I'm planning on starting a 2nd book, which currently looks to be a Godzilla x Seven Deadly Sins crossover. So yall got that to look forward to, just don't expect it to soon.
Spedyalarm out!
