We now see Hoshi walking inside a forest. As she walks, she sensed some thing coming towards her. She turned to the left to found an ursa. It growls at her, then charges at her. Hoshi, with a calm look, took her shield from her back, and hit it right where the face is with a strong force. So strong that it breaks the ursa's neck. She hit the road again as she puts her shield on her back.
She has been walking through the forest for about a 4 days. She felt really bad about her new friend's sister. She just wanted it to go away, but can't. She was hoping that things can cool down with her and Ruby. She's really mad about the whole incident with her sister. Now, she's just walking aimlessly through the forest, not knowing that she was near the mountain that her kind has been sealed away.
She sensed something again. With a sighed she took the shield again and aim it behind her. She was about to hit it, until it revealed to be someone. Thankfully, that someone was able to dodge it in time.
"Oh gods, sorry about that." Hoshiguma said as she puts her shield back.
"It's okay. Most people tend to get surprised when I show up." She said. She has a mask on concealing her eyes, and she also has horns on her head. Meaning she's an Oni.
"... So, who are you and how can I help you?" Hoshiguma asked awkwardly.
"Ah, yes, I haven't introduce myself." She bowed. "I am Yato, and I need you to come with me. Lady Shuten is expecting you." Yato said.
Hoshiguma widens her eyes as she remembered that name. "She's alive?"
"Yes. Now she is expecting your arrival at Mount Ooe." Yato said firmly as she straighten her back.
"... What happens if I say no?" Hoshiguma said as she reached for her shield slowly.
"... Then you will be forced to." Yato said as she grips her katana to ready for an attack.
No one moves a muscle. The wind was blowing through the forest as the two Oni look at each other in the eyes, mask for Yato's case. Yato whistles and came along three people that swiftly go towards Hoshiguma in a sudden move. Hoshi tries to block the attackers, only for her to fell unconscious and dropped to the ground. The three people consist of two girls and a guy. The guy is a big guy wearing a mask that conceals his face carries a long square shape shield, and has one horn on his head. The first girl is a blue haired girl wielding a retractable morning star chains, she's wearing a maid outfit, and the other girl is a red haired girl with the same face as the first girl wearing the same outfit, although she doesn't carry a weapon.
"... Thanks for the help." Yato said as she relaxed her body.
"Hmph. I'm only being generous because lady Shuten said so." The girl with red hair scoffed as she looked the other way.
"Y-yes, but I think I hit her to hard." The girl with blue hair said as she stutters a bit.
"Sister, don't worry about it. She's an Oni, she can handle it." The girl with red hair said.
"Alright, let's bring her to lady Shuten. It's getting dark around here." The masked guy with a shield on his back said as he went to Hoshiguma to pick up her body. "Rem, get the shield, Ram check our surroundings."
"Yes!" Rem said as she carried Hoshiguma's shield. "Oof! This is heavier than I thought!" She muttered to herself.
"*Sigh* Fine." Ram said as she close her eyes to sense anything around the group. She sensed two individual at the groups west. "I got two people coming from the west."
"Okay, let's hurry." Yato said as the group nodded. "Nao, you'll be in the middle."
Meanwhile the two people who are away from the group saw what happen. A lady wearing a hat while carrying a claymore sword and a girl with a spear and horse ears on her head.
"We should probably tell Doctor about this. Right?" The girl with horse ear said. No responses from the lady. "Skadi?" She turned towards the lady.
...
"Skadi."
"..."
"Skadi!"
"..."
"I'm gonna take that as a 'you are right' and 'let's go'." She said as she turn around and walk to return to their base. She then notices that Skadi is not with her. She turn back to see that she is missing. She sighed. "Should've known. Well she can handle herself, I'm going to report this to Doctor." She turned back and walked back to her base.
Meanwhile
"So... Where we heading?" Izuku asked his student. Sam, Amiya, and Tricia along with Izuku are now inside the bullhead heading towards northeast.
"I already told the pilot to go northwest from Vale." Amiya said as she puts her sword next to her.
"Yes, but where are we going specifically?" The green professor asked again.
"Rhodes Island." Amiya said.
"The walking hospital and security organization? Why?" Izuku asked.
"Because, Hoshiguma and I came from there. We represent Rhodes Island by being a student in Beacon." Amiya said.
"Huh. Neat." Izuku said as he then turn to look at Tricia and notices something. "Wait a minute. I feel like I know from somewhere." He said as he put a hand on his chin.
"Actually, yeah. You look familiar." Tricia said as she also puts a hand on her chin. "Oh! You're that one guy that was fighting that deathstalker invading a village while I was delivering with Lee and Cassie!"
"Wait! You ARE that one girl that was delivering a package to a friend of mine." Izuku said as he snapped his fingers. "Man, thanks for the back up by the way. I could handle it though, but thanks for the help."
"No problem, and if you need something to be sent. You can go to Penguin Logistics to sent your package, anywhere. We guarantee to send it no matter what." Tricia said.
"Your from Penguin Logistics?! One of my friends work there!" Izuku exclaimed, and they started a conversation together. Amiya was worried about her friend. She feared where she may ended up. Sam noticed this and decided to start a conversation.
"You okay?" Sam asked. Amiya perked up to look at Sam.
"Y-yeah I'm fine." Amiya assured.
"Okay." Sam said. Then he asked the most random things ever. "So, how long have you known Hoshi Demon king?"
"I-" Amiya widens her eyes and look at Sam right in the eye. "How did you know?" She asked seriously.
"Being around for too long, you tend to recognize familiar things around you." Sam said cryptically.
"... What-" Amiya was interrupted by a speaker from the bullhead.
"Approaching Rhodes Island airship." As the pilot says the Rhodes Island airship can be seen from the window. (AN: Imagine Rhodes Island's land ship that has thrusters below the ship like the one from Avengers.)
"Cool! An airship!" Sam said as he is amazed about Rhodes Island. "How is it flying though?"
"... It has thrusters below the airship along with a few thrusters on each side of the ship." Amiya said as she play along his usual self. She has suspicions about Sam knowing her title, but for now she keeps it quiet. "I already told Doctor about the situation and us arriving, so we won't need to explain the situation." She told the others as the bullhead lands on one of the pad. As the door to opens they were greeted with four people. One was a hooded figure with its hand on its pocket, the second was a woman with white hair and a bit of green, the third was a girl with black hair and droopy cat ears on her head, and the fourth was a woman with dog ears that has a familiar feel as Glynda.
"Welcome to Rhodes Island. We heard the situation." the guy with a hood on. "You can call me Doctor. Along with me are Dr. Kal'tsit, Jessica, and Instructor Dobermann." He said as he gestures the other three.
"Its good to see you Doctor." Amiya said.
"Doctor, it's an honor meeting you!" Izuku said nervously.
"Hey, I remember you." Tricia said as she walk forward. "Your that one guy meeting my boss." She said as she pointed at Doctor.
"Yes, you are right." Dr. Kal'tsit hit his elbow. "Right. Come with me." Doctor said to them as they all come with him through the ship. As they walk, they stopped at the center and the platform lowers down to reveal an elevator. "I'll leave the explanation to Kal'tsit about what we do after Amiya's report yesterday morning." He said as he gestured to Kal'tsit.
"*Sigh* You lazy f**k, alright." Kal'tsit said as she opens her tablet. "After Amiya's report, we sent a team of two to every corner of Remnant, and out of everyone, our operator that we sent to somewhere near Mt. Ooe at the far east, outside the kingdom of Mistral, found Hoshiguma." She said as she pulls out a map for the others to see. "Around here, they saw a group of four people knock Hoshiguma unconscious, and carried them somewhere towards Mt. Ooe. One of the operator, Skadi, went to follow them by herself, while the other one, Grani, came back here to report." She said as a picture of Skadi and Grani was shown. "With that, we have our suspicion that the group's base are at Mt. Ooe."
"So we'll be going there?" Tricia asked.
"Yes, we will provide some of our operators to help you in this mission, along with a transportation towards there." Dobermann said as she then calls the people through her earpiece. "Be ready. They are here." As she said this the elevator stops, then the door opens to reveal four people. The first is a woman with cat ears carrying a chainsaw and a bag or holster of sorts; the second is a woman as well carrying a shield and a glock, she appears to have horns and a tail; the third is a girl wearing a red hood with a wolf ears sticking out of her hood; and the fourth is a guy with rabbit ears and a band aid on his nose wearing a hood while carrying a sword on his hand and a case on his back.
"Hi there! We'll be the one that are going to help you in this mission!" The woman with a chainsaw said. "Call me Blaze, the coolest operator." She said.
"Codename, Liskarm." The woman with the shield and glock.
"Projekt Red." The wolf girl in red hood.
"Ayerscarpe." The rabbit guy said.
"With that, Jessica will accompany you as well." Doctor said making Jessica perked up and has a shocked face.
"What?!" Jessica said and looked like a cat has been hurt.
"It's a good opportunity to test that new device Closure, Mayer, and Silence made, right?" Doctor asked Kal'tsit.
"Yes, I was going to choose another operator to do it, but Jessica will do in this mission." Kal'tsit said as she then shoved Jessica in to the ship.
"But, it's my day off today." Jessica whined.
"Not anymore."
"Isn't that a bit harsh?" Izuku asked.
"Oh, she got used to it." Doctor reassured them. "Anyway, good luck, and grandma will be with you on the ship." He said as he then turned around and leave to his office with Kal'tsit leaving them confused about who grandma is. As they were leaving, Kal'tsis hit his head.
"Alright, c'mon! We're running out of daytime!" Blaze said as the other went to the ship and boarded it. "Okay, once we're out of here, we'll be addressing each other with codenames. The name we told you is our codenames, so what are yours? Except Amiya." she said as she sit on one of the chairs available.
"Exusiai." Tri- Exusiai said.
"Shirou." Shirou said.
"Deku." Deku said.
"With that out of the way," Blaze said as she went to her earpiece and said. "Pilot, let's go we're ready."
"*Sigh* I was really looking for a day off." Jessica muttered.
With that the group has blast off to the far eastern land near Mistral.
Meanwhile at Beacon
"Ruby! We're back!" Weiss said as she opens the door to her dorm with Blake following behind her. Weiss saw Ruby still sleeping in her bed with her sheets on over head. She sighed. "Ruby... I know that you are sad that your sister is in a coma, but if she were still awake she would've said something about you to kept going without her. Well, I think, since I never really know her that much." Still no response. "Well, I bought some cookies while we were gone, you want some?" Still no response. "Ruby?" Weiss getting impatient that she doesn't answer her questions. "Ruby?!" Weiss stomps towards Ruby and opens her sheet.
But Ruby was nowhere to be seen.
"Ruby?!" Weiss said as she searches for her. "Blake tell the professors!" Blake nodded as she then runs to find some help. "Ruby!" Weiss searches everywhere inside the dorm while calling for her.
"Weiss, what's wrong?" Jaune asked as he comes around the corner.
"Ruby's missing!" Weiss exclaimed. Jaune's expression turned serious.
"When was the last time you saw her?" Jaune asked calmly and seriously.
"This morning, she was asleep at that time. Me and Blake went to Vale to buy supplies, until we came back now." Weiss explains.
"Hmm... If she were to go out through the door me and my team would've seen or heard her. Since we don't really close the door much." Jaune notices that a few sheets were missing at their beds. He then notices a tied up sheet at the very corner of the window. He goes to the window to check it, and it confirms his deduction. "Crap, Ruby must've climb down through the window."
"Oh no." Weiss said as she was worried about her partner. While she does find her annoying at times, she was still her partner and ... friend, she guess.
Blake returned back. "I already alerted the professors." She said as she was panting a bit.
"Ok, thanks Blake." Weiss said as she looks through the window. "Ruby..." A strange feeling on her heart appeared.
"Don't worry, we'll find her." Jaune reassured Weiss as she nodded.
The shattered moon shines through the night with the wind blows.
With the pilot from before
"Welp, guess my job's done." The pilot said as he was about to take off. Suddenly, he felt a sharp sensation on his neck to see there's a scythe. He froze at the sudden appearance.
"Take me to where ever they're going." A girl voice from behind can be heard.
"But, miss I-I-I don't know where they are going. I'm just a pilot." The pilot said.
"Then figure it out!" She said as she pulls back her scythe, intent to decapitate the man. As she were about to do it, she heard a ship go off. She looked through the window and saw another ship going east. "Follow that ship!"
"Right away ma'am!" The pilot said nervously. With that they took off to follow that ship.
