"Are we there yet?"
"Oh my god, no! We are not there yet! You already asked that question multiple times!"
"Actually, I asked you 10 times."
"Who cares?!"
The sun has set, and the group that was on the front side of the bullhead was still walking north. It's been hours of walking and they haven't reached the place yet. The group already felt tired walking, except for Tricia and Izuku, and are now bored that they don't have anything to do.
"Can I at least play something? The silence is killing me." Sam asked, bored out of his mind.
"... I estimate that we should arrive in a few minutes, and Mount Ooe never has any Grimm problems, so I guess your good to go." Ochako answered, making Sam sighed in relieve.
"Finally." Sam pull out his scroll and began searching for a song. While he does this, their professor, Izuku, was thinking about what Ochako said earlier.
'Family? I'm not married though. Wait. What if I am? Did I get amnesia? No that won't be possible, I still remember my friends. Wait, is it possible to get amnesia about certain memories? Yeah, maybe that's it. O-o-or is it...' And there he goes his habit. Grani was doing fine, while still worried about her partner Skadi, Tricia was still quiet on their journey, and Ayerscarpe was getting a bit anxious.
"Hah! Found i-"
"We're here!"
...
In front of them is a house, a hut, and a garage. The garage door was open revealing a pickup truck with a few boxes that are strapped so it won't fell off. The group fell in silence as they looked at the small place they had arrived at.
Sam, almost pressing the song he wants to listen, got depressed. "Aw man..." Tricia pat him on the back.
"You'll get your chance." Tricia assured him.
"Can we just please get on with it." Ayer said as he was growing more and more anxious.
Ochako nodded as she went for the door and knocked. A few minutes passes, and the door opens revealing a couple. The guy has gray(silver?)hair wears a white T-shirt that has the writing '生鱼羊大卖场' (Raw fish and sheep hypermarket), jeans with a pair of boots, and on his waist is a tied up blacked furred jacket. Other than that he has a pair of bear ears and wears a silver ring pendant. He also has what looks like 'dead fish eyes', making him looked depressed all the time. The person next to him, his supposed girlfriend or wife, has a mixed colored hair consist of orange, brown, and white. She wears a mixture of both traditional and modern Mistralian clothing with orange, white, and brown color scheme. Other than that, she has tiger ears and tail, wears yellow glasses, and has sharper orange eyes than her boyfriend/husband. The most interesting feature is that she has fur on her body that matches the color of a tiger.
This is... interesting.
"...How can we help you?" The guy said with a depressed tone, while his girlfriend/wife narrowed her eyes suspiciously at the group.
Ochako cleared her throat, and made the greatest face impression ever. "Do not fear! Why? Because I am here!" She said while she poses a few moves and ending with her flexing her arms in the air, with a face that impersonates a certain symbol of peace.
...
...
...
He sighed. "Go wait in the hut, and wait for further instructions." He said with an expressionless face and tone as he then closes the door. Ochako then goes to the hut. She stopped and looked back to the group to saw them not moving and has the faces of surprise, deadpanned, and confusion.
"C'mon! Let's go!" Ochako said as she gestures to the hut. Which they nodded, and walked with her towards the hut. They arrived at the hut. Ochako opens the door, and reveals a variety of tools on the wall, a table, and a radio. The group went in, and found themselves cramped together.
"Hey! Stop pushing!" Tricia said.
"I'm not pushing! He's pushing!" Sam said.
"This is so uncomfortable..." Ayer said.
"Yep..." Izuku said.
"Who's touching me?!" Grani said with a blush on her face.
"Sorry, my bad." Ochako said as she then moves her hand upwards.
"Alright, everybody welcome to our humble hut. Please mind the floor and the walls." The guy from before said as the whole room slowly descends revealing a very futuristic pathway to the left of them, which they saw a path down to the earth. The walls around them slowly retracts making them have a good enough space to breath. The walls came up and the floor above them close up to conceal it's true nature. Then barriers shot out, making a wall so people won't fall off. "Initiating drop sequence. Begin countdown." The guy said. Then another voice, possibly the lady from before, counting down from 10.
"Everybody hold on tight." Ochako said as the platform they are in moved slowly to the left.
"To what?" Sam asked as then numerous handles shot out from the floor. "Oh." He said as he then grab hold to it, the other follows as well. Their platform is now on top of the path down to earth.

Sam and Grani holds tighter, with Grani having a nervous look on her face.

Ayerscarpe have a nervous look on his face.

Tricia and Izuku have determined looks on their faces.

Ochako just yawned.

They were dropped in high speed. As they fall in, the speed started to gained up with some of them are now in the air, except Ochako. Grani, Izuku, and Ayerscarpe are screaming. Tricia and Sam holds tighter. Ochako just stands and holds it like nothing happen. The platform started to slow their descend as they fall hard to the ground. They groaned as it was very painful. Ochako rolled her eyes, and said. "You'll get used to it." The intercom started to play someone plays a piano as their descend stopped in front of a closed door. The door slowly opens and reveal a very beautiful sight.
(Play : Coldplay - Clocks)
The door reveals an under ground civilization filled with many futuristic things and natural things. What's more majestic was they have some sort of holograms or screens above them showing the night sky. Their platform move through the door flying above the civilization. Below them, they saw gardens, farms, and many - many things. On their right, they saw a city with many tall buildings and houses outside the city. As the song plays on, the group stare in awe of the beauty they saw below them.
"Welcome to ground city." Ochako said like a certain old man with a cane.
"Wow..." Sam and many others said in awe as the city looked amazing with many bright colors. Their platform was flying and went through the traffic of flying cars and normal cars below. After a few minutes of wonder, they eventually arrived at a port in one of the tall buildings. Finally the song's over as they have arrived touch the ground on one of the building. They all left the platform once the barrier shut down.
"Yo! Welcome back, Uravity." A voice was heard in front of the group. They saw a man wearing a red hoodie and jeans. He has a beard, an X scar on his right eye, and a pair of horns on his head, making him looked like a demon. "So what news do you bring back from our comrade from the west?"
"They are in good conditions, and there are no movements yet from the Ooenians, Cartoonz." Ochako said. "Although something peculiar happen on my way back." She said as she glanced back to the group. Cartoonz then looks at the group.
"Who are these guys?" He asked with pure curiosity. "And is that a Sankta?" He said with surprise seeing one in the flesh.
"This are the peculiar thing that happen on my way back." She said as she then explained what happened to Cartoonz. He nodded in understanding.
"I see." He then turned towards the group. "Welcome to Ground City! Name's Luke, but you can call me Cartoonz. I handle this port's transportation schedule, and you are?"
"Izuku Midoriya nice to meet you!" He introduces himself as he bows.
"Name's Samuel. Call me Sam." He introduces as well.
"Patricia Zeppelin. Call me Tricia." She said.
"Ayerscarpe." He said still looking a bit nervous.
"Operator. Grani." She said.
"Granny? Where do I heard that name before?" He said as he puts a hand on his chin. He snapped his finger. "Oh! You must be the one that big lady talks about!"
"It's Grani!"
"Big lady?" Ochako said with confusion.
"Yeah, this morning. This lady shows up at one of our upper ground station and scare the crap out of the people there. Because they taught of her as one of the enemies, they engage her, only to be beaten mercilessly. Until one person recognizes her and stops the fight just in time before casualties were made." Cartoonz explained. "If you are wondering where she is now, she's with Brock and his wife."
"Wait, does she has white hair and red eyes, and she's this tall?" Grani asked as she held up her hand to describe her partner's heigth.
"Yeah. How do you know?" Cartoonz asked back.
"That's my partner!" Grani said as she then grabs Cartoonz shoulder. "Bring me to her!" She shouted.
"Okay! Okay. You don't need to shout. Jeez Louise..." Cartoonz said as Grani lets go of his shoulders. He turned towards Ochako and said. "Well I got to go now. Good to see you back." He said as he then turned around and said. "C'mon, I'll drive." He said as Grani went with him to find her partner.
"Where do we go now?" Izuku asked Ochako.
"We're going to meet my boss." Ochako said as they were about to walk.
Meanwhile
"Here have some drink." Patriot said as he gave Amiya a cup of tea.
"Thank you." She took it and drank the tea. "This taste good." Amiya complimented the well made tea.
"Thanks, I made them myself." Patriot said as he scratched the back of his head.
They were now in Reunion base of operation. To be specific at the med bay where they are waiting for Amiya's comrades to wake up. It's night time and a few soldiers are still on stand by to make sure there are no enemies sneaking in the base.
"I've been meaning to ask you." Patriot said as his tone became serious. "How are you fine with death? You are a huntsmen, right?"
"Yes. Technically huntsmen in training, but yes. I got used to it since I was 14 and became an operator in Rhodes Island. And yes this is on my own accord, nobody forced me to." Amiya explained.
"I see..." Patriot said as he then notices that one of Amiya's comrade is waking up. "Your comrade is waking up." He said as he pointed towards Blaze.
"Blaze!" Amiya said as she puts the cup down and rushed towards her.
"Ugh... What happened? I feel like a truck just hit me..." Blaze groaned as she rubbed her head.
"The ship fell down and broke in half." Amiya said.
"Oh okay..." Blaze said as she closes her eyes to rest. Until she opened them again with realization to what Amiya says. "What?! Where's the squad?! Where's my chainsaw?!" She said as she panickily stood up from her bed only for her to fall as she felt a bit dizzy.
"Miss Blaze please remain calm." Patriot said.
"How can I be calm?! When my precious is gone?!" Blaze said as she tried to stood up again, only to fell again.
"... Your weapon right?" Patriot asked.
"Yes! What else?!" Blaze yelled.
"... Your weapon is over there." Patriot pointed to the left. Blaze looked to where he pointed. On Patriot's left, there is stack of weapon cases. "And I can assure you that-"
"My baby!" Blaze proceed to run to find her weapon case. She found it and cradle it like a baby. "Oh sweet baby. Don't worry mommy's here." She said as she continued to talk to her weapon. Patriot sweatdropped at the scene before them.
Amiya turned to face Patriot. "Don't worry, you'll get used to it eventually..." She said with a deadpanned face. She then heard groans and saw behind her that the others have awoken.
"Where are we?" Liskarm asked while holding her head.
"..." Red didn't say anything and went back to sleep.
"... This was supposed to be a day off." Jessica said with a depressed tone.
The door to the med bay they were in opens and reveals Ch'en, Talulah, and 2 more people. One of them is a guy while the other is a girl. The guy wears a gray cloak, long pants, and scarf. He has his hoods up with visible bear ears. Other than that, he has yellowish gray hair and eyes. He also wears a mask to conceal his mouth. The other one wears a black jacket, jeans, sports shoes, white T-Shirt with the word 'CHA', a long orange arm band, and a face mask with an x. She has her hood up which shows that she has tactical ear flaps. Other than that, she has soft red hair, eyes, and tail indicating that she is a wolf faunus.
"You're awake." Ch'en said with a pinch of surprise. She then notice Red sleeping. "Well, most of you."
"How are you all feeling?" Talulah asked those who are awake.
"We're good." Blaze said as she still holds her weapon case like a baby.
"A bit hurt but fine otherwise." Liskarm said.
"... It was supposed to be my day off..." Jessica said still depressed about all this.
"That's good to hear." Talulah said with a relieve smile, and then replaced with a sympathetic one towards Jessica. "Sorry to hear that. You can take a rest here if you want to." She offered.
"... No thanks. A job is a job." Jessica said as she stood up from her bed.
Red then opens her eyes and stood up, startling everyone. She didn't say anything, only staring at the red wolf faunus, who is standing behind Talulah in fear. Everyone was surprised about this.
"Why are you hiding?" The guy in hood asked.
"Shut up Kevin! She's dangerous..." She warned Kevin.
"Alright, alright. Don't worry Lyu." Kevin said as he take a look at Red, still looking at 'Lyu'. "I still don't know what you are worrying about though..." He said still confused.
"Red... No." Amiya said firmly. Red replied with a pout towards Amiya and went back to sleep. "Sorry about that, Red always like this when she saw fluffy tails."
"It's... ok." Talulah said with an uncertain voice. Ch'en cleared her throat to remind her about something. "Oh, right. Since you are all awake, why don't you come with us to the planning room to discuss things?" Talulah offered.
"Hmm... Most of us are probably still tired from earlier. That leaves me and Blaze to join the discussion." Amiya said. "Alright then let's go." She said as she and Blaze walked towards the door.
"I'll look after your friends for you." Kevin said.
"Thanks." Blaze said with a smile and a thumbs up. After Talulah, Patriot, Ch'en, 'Lyu', Amiya, and Blaze left, the only people left in the med bay is Kevin, Liskarm, Jessica, and Projekt Red. An awkward silent befell upon them. Until Kevin break it.
"Want some soda?"
MEANWHILE
Sam and the others are now in front of a large office door. Ochako walked up and opens the door. Inside the door reveal an office with a large window behind the work desk. The seat was facing the window, a small tree can be seen on the edge of the desk along with a desk lamp, a stack of papers, and a pen. They can hear someone talking with a feminine voice behind the seat that was facing its back to them.
"Listen, I'm truly sorry to hear the ambush in Division 9. They have the best and most loyal soldiers, along with my late husband's best friend... I would, but I have a city to look out to... Do you have any idea how hard it is to run a city? No? Let me tell you how hard. It's a pain in the ass!.. I'll talk to you later general, I have guest." The person behind the seat said as the person then turn the seat around and greeted the guest. Revealing a woman with white hair with white hair, red eyes, and black horns on her head. She wears a black office suit with a red tie. She also wears glasses. "I have been expecting you Uravity." She said while looking at Ochako then she notices the group behind her. "And who are these peopl-" She widens her eyes and froze as she noticed Izuku is there. Silence fell on both the group and Ochako's boss. The woman slowly stood up and went around the desk and walked forward Izuku with her hands forward reaching him. "It's you." She said as she then loudly cried and hugged Izuku, surprising him and the others. This goes on for a five minutes until she lets go and tidy herself.
"Um... Boss?" Ochako called. "We have a... problem."
"Hmm? What problem?" The woman asked. Ochako proceed to tell her Izuku's problem. After explaining it, the woman is very angry. Her eyes literally turned red in rage and hatred.
"That purple midget." The woman muttered in anger. She then proceed to-
Oh.
Oh boy.
Umm...
Sorry for your inconvenience, it seems that we are having problems due to extreme cursing and ranting. So, we have no choice but to cut this part out. Thank you for your understanding.
Everyone was shocked at what the woman did, including Ochako since she never see her boss acts like this.
"I... was not expecting that." Ochako said while her eyes widens, but then she relaxed and said. "But I was expecting not expecting something. So that doesn't count." She finished with shrugging her shoulders.
"Sorry that you all had to see that." Her boss said as she cleans her glasses. "Anyway, welcome to ground city. My name is Tomoe Gozen and I run the place." She introduces herself to the group, although two of the group notices her last name.
"Wait, miss. Gozen? Do you know of a Hoshiguma Gozen?" Sam asked, once again making her eyes wide in shock, again.
"Wait, how do you know that name?" She asked him.
"We're friends with her." Sam answered. "She's... alive?" He said as he then saw her crying in joy which he muttered. "Oh boy, here we go again."
"She's... alive..." She cried as she then took out a picture of her in her suit's pocket as a kid. "My baby..." She said as she hugged the photo. "Where is she?"
"... That's the bad news. We... lost her. Her last sighting was that she was kidnapped by a group of people and they are headed to that mountain." Tricia said while wincing.
...
...
Tomoe took one deep breath and- "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-"
*CRACK!*
Whoa! What the?!
The screen cracked!
How in the f**k?!
Great... I have to get a new screen somehow...
...
...
...
...
Wait a second.
I'm the author.
I can do anything.
*POOF*
Yay!
My screen is back to normal!
Now to return to where we left off.
...
"Sorry that you had to see that, again." Tomoe said as she picks up a new pair of glasses from her desk. The group in front of her was blown away from her outburst. Sam was somehow stuck on the ceiling, Tricia got embedded to the wall, same goes for Izuku, and Ayerscarpe fainted due to the loud noise while standing. The office is now a mess, which Tomoe notice just now. "Ooh..." She winced at the sight of the group. She check her watch. "Hmm... Still have time." As she said that Sam falls to the ground with a thud and a groan escaped.
MEANWHILE
"Here we are." She said a she enters the planning tent. She went inside with Ch'en, 'Lyu', Patriot, and followed by Amiya and Blaze. As they enter the tent they notice a few people here. There was a rabbit woman like Amiya only white with a bit of grey color, an armored man with a helmet that looks like the head of a beetle, a deer woman with grey with a tiny bit of green, a woman with white hair and horns on her head that points sideways carrying a sword and its sheath, a lady with her hoods on and wearing a gas mask and kevlar, a man with blue hair and wears a coat and carries two swords on his hip, and finally a man wearing a helmet that covers the entire head except for the eyes so he can see, wearing heavy body armor. They are all standing around a table with the map of Mount Ooe and what surrounds it. Amiya saw the names on the map, 'Base' that where she is, 'Mt. Ooe' the huge mountain, 'Ground City' located up north of Mount Ooe, and 'Division 9' located near the mountain along with other divisions located mostly random. 1 to 5 was located in the forest, 6 was located at the south of the mountain, 7 was located inside the mountain, and 8 was nowhere to be found.
"Ma'am." The white rabbit woman greeted. "We got news that division 9 was ambushed."
"I see..." Talulah acknowledge that news. "Are there any survivors?"
"Yes. Few manage to escape, but some got taken away." The armored... woman? with the helmet like a beetle said with a radio like voice.
"That's not the only news." The deer woman said as she points towards an empty forest space located on the northwest of the mountain. "My troops spotted a few movements here. They are likely targeting Ground City."
"Crap..." Ch'en muttered.
"... What's the status on 7?" Talulah asked.
"They've obtained information that they are making their move to destroy Ground City tomorrow. They also said it will be a full frontal attack. " The lady with the gas mask and kevlar suit. "Apparently not, since Firewatch's troops saw a few of them running around Northwest."
"... Sh*t. They're compromise." Talulah said. She turned towards 'Lyu' "Tell HQ that Division 7 is comprimise." 'Lyu' nodded and left the tent. "Alright people we will move Division 3 and 5 to Ground City." She said as she pointed at Ground City. "With that we can have a chance to defend Ground City."
"I got an idea..." The blue hair guy said with a thinking pose. "We formed a- no 2 squad to infiltrate Mount Ooe, filled with our strongest men, to destroy their infantries and weapons, and IF possible we can also assassinate Shuten along the way."
"Hmm..." Talulah thinks about this plan. "Who are we going to send?"
"We can go." Amiya said as all of them turned towards her, startling a bit. "Me and my squad were trying to find a friend of ours. We have confirmation that she is inside the mountain."
"If she is inside the mountain, then you need to expect her being with the enemy." The white rabbit said. "Along with Division 9's former troops."
"What? Why?" Blaze asked confused.
"... You haven't told them have you?" The armored lady with the beetle helmet said.
Talulah sighed. "Yeah..." She turned towards the two. "Take a seat, this is going to be a long story."
MEANWHILE
"..." Sam has a look of slight worry on his face as he was in the infirmary. The others too have it. They are now looking at Ayer who was screaming as if the worlds going to end. At first after Tomoe's outburst, they were taken to the infirmary to be taken care of, along with Tomoe who accompany them. Ayerscarpe fainted at the outburst earlier. But once he woke up, he started screaming. He was begging to be electrocuted. They have no idea why but he just said he wants to be electrocuted. After calling someone with electricity powers, they are now waiting while watching Ayerscarpe going BALLISTIC.
"AGHHHH! PLEASE! SOMEONE! ANYONE! I NEED IT! SHOCK MEEEEE!" Ayerscarpe begging to be shocked.
"Dude... Calm down." Sam said trying to calm him.
"CALM?! I AM CALM!"
"Okay. Your call." Sam said as he puts both his hands up.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Ayer continues to scream and roll on the ground like some guy getting possessed.
The door was open revealing a woman about Ayer's age with long blonde hair that will probably make Yang jealous and yellow horns on each side of her head. She wears a combat dress and white jacket along with black stockings and high heels shoes. She also carries a staff that has a crystal stuck on the top part of the staff. She then proceeds to aimed her staff at the still screaming Ayerscarpe.
*ZAP*
She zaps him with her staff, and Ayerscarpe stop moving and screaming. His body got some smoke rising from his body. At this point everyone was worried, including the newcomer. Suddenly he woke up and went towards the newcomer and hug her. This act surprised her and the others.
"Thank you so much. You have no idea, how important that was." Ayer said still hugging her.
"Y-your welcome." The newcomer said as she has a blush on her face. Ayer lets go of her and went to his bed leaving the stunned newcomer. The door opens revealing Tomoe.
"Is everything good?" She said as she then noticed the red face newcomer. "Huh? Hey, are you alright Liz?" Liz snapped out of her trance and went to compose herself.
"Yes, everything is alright." Liz said. "I'll be going now." She said as she then leaves the room.
"Well, I think it's time to address the elephant in the room." Tricia said.
"You are right." Tomoe said as she then puts a hand on her chin. "Where do I start?"
AT THE SAME TIME AS TALULAH EXPLAINED THE STORY TO AMIYA AND BLAZE
Along time ago, a meteor hit remnant at the biggest mountain in the world, mount Ooe. The meteor affected the surrounding life in the mountain, along with the Onis that live in the mountains. With this they grew advance technology much faster than any other kingdoms. In mount Ooe we have two kind living there, originally there were five, but the other two disappeared and the other one just move to a much more interesting place. The Oni and the faunus. They agreed to live by the rule of the Oni, and for years they have live in peace. As the outside world went to war with one another, a clan of spies found their brethren had lived a hard life and went back to inform the ruler about this predicament. The ruler ordered them to stay quiet so their technology can't be used against them and others. The spies reluctantly agreed to this, but unknown to them one of the princesses, Shuten Douji, heard all of it and disagreed with her father's orders. So knowing that no one will listen to her except her best friend, she practice her potion making skills and her communicating skills so she can persuade people and control them. Of course it was all in secret. At the day of her father's death, which is hundreds of years later, she quickly stepped in as the new ruler of mount Ooe. With her potions and communicating skills she easily influence all the people of Ooe to follow her and liberate everyone from the humans. That's where the Kekkai sensen, a rebellious force against her rule, born, and so the hundred year secret civil war began.
WITH TOMOE
"And I am the current leader of Kekkai Sensen, along with the 9 Divisions." Tomoe said as she continues. "Although they like to call themselves the Reunion Movement and we are both different forces, we still have the same goal of stopping Shuten from conquering the whole world."
"I see..." Izuku said as he begin thinking... and mutter out loud. Tomoe felt nostalgic as she saw Izuku did this. "Wait, doesn't that mean that our daughter has been turned against us?"
"Yes, and that's why after this we are planning an assault on Shuten and free the people from her influence." Tomoe said angrily.
"We're in." Sam said with a determined face along with Tricia and Ayer.
"So am I." Izuku said as he stood up and walked towards Tomoe. "Listen, I know that I have memory problem and this is my first time meeting you, but I'm sure I would do this." He then kissed her on the lips, which she accepted.
*BANG*
"Ma'am! We have news that Division 7 is compro-" Liz walked back in the room and then saw her boss making out with Izuku, and immediately blushed. "S-sorry for the interruption!" She then quickly walked out of the room. They separated eventually and now with determination they began to plan for the to end the war.
WITH TALULAH
"And I am currently the leader of the 9 Divisions, although I like to call it the Reunion Movement." Talulah said as she then offered Amiya her hand. "Will you help us?"
"... Yes." Amiya took the offer.
"Yes! Finally some action!" Blaze cheered.
"Okay how do we do this..." Amiya said as she then take a look on the map.
