PART 1
Three hours earlier... right after the teams are inside the mountain
Talulah looked on as the two ships manage to slipped in the mountain's gates before they closes. "Good luck, my friend." She muttered. "EVERYONE! ONWARDS! FOR FREEDOM!" She shouted as everyone cheered and began pushing forward in a fast pace. "Yelena! Ochako! It's time!" She said as she then ran forward with her broadsword followed by both Yelena and Ochako.
"HELL FIRE!" A reunion soldier shouted as he and those in the frontline started to fall back. Talulah reared back her sword. As she continues to run, her sword catches fire. The shield guard made an opening for her. She got through and swings her sword causing a great wave of fire burning all of the enemies in the battlefield, some even melt from the fire. Of course Ibaraki just shrugged it off, cause the heat never bother her anyway.
When the surviving enemy thought they were save from the great fire wave, Yelena unleashed a a blazing cold that freezes everyone in the vicinity. They all died by frozen in ice. Fortunately for the enemy, the range wasn't as large as Talulah's great fire, making some of them survive, and Ibaraki not affected by the ice wave. As Yelena slumped down, exhausted from using her power right at her limit, Ochako stepped in with her right hand forward. And she uttered the word...
"Almighty Push!"
After saying those words, everything was blown back to the mountain in front of her. Ibaraki uses her sword to hold on to the pressure. It the blast lasted for almost 2 minutes, until the blast stops. As Ibaraki looked up, she saw that she and a few Ooenian soldiers standing behind Ibaraki were the only one left in the battlefield. For whatever reason, Ibaraki seemed calm.
Too calm.
Ibaraki then raise her sword in the air, and the mountain's hidden gate opens up across the battlefield. Every gate is filled with Ooenian soldiers, some equipped with sword and shields and some equipped with guns and futuristic guns. Their numbers are bigger then before. The Reunion soldiers looked on in disbelieve and shock while Talulah remain calm on the outside, but shock in the inside. Ibaraki then decided to speak up. "Don't you see! We outnumbered you! We let your group in so they can be turn against you! Including your precious spy division!" Ibaraki shouted with a clear voice. "Last chance! Joined us! Or die!"
"Never!" Shouted everyone in the battlefield.
"We will stand until our very last breath! In the name of freedom from Tyranny!" Patriot said as the soldiers cheered more.
"Very well." Ibaraki muttered. "Destroy them all!" She commanded her army as they all shouted and charge forward, with Reunion soldiers follow suit.
"Frost! Fall back, your to too tired! Ochako! Center! I'll handle the right!" Talulah said as they then split up to take care of each lane, except Frostnova who gone back to base to rest while occasionally help out the snipers and casters. With that, the second wave hits.
Blaze's on the left lane of the battlefield, she was the first to lead the charge. "Time for round two!" She shouted as she mowed down many enemies in her way with her chainsaw. As she continues to mow down the enemies, something knocked her back, making her almost lose her footing. She saw ahead of her and saw a man clad in blue and yellow armor carrying two normal but powerful chainsaw that appears to be emitting lightning. He had a blue helmet with a circle symbol. This causes Blaze to froze up a bit, seeing a very familiar face to her. "Master Tachibana..." Tachibana charge forward, luckily Blaze manage to block the incoming attack in time.
On the right side of the battlefield, Talulah's slashing through the enemies with her sword and fire slashes. Then one of her fire slash was dissipated by an ice wall. When she saw that ice, she quickly dodges to the right. There she saw a woman with light blue hair walking towards her slowly. She wears a black and white military suit and white hat while carrying a weapon made entirely of ice. With every step the ground became ice, and the temperature began to go down. Talulah heated up her temperature and her surroundings, melting the ice in front of her. "Talulah the draco..." The woman with light blue hair said.
"Esdeath the ice demon..." Talulah said as they started to walk in circle.
"I see that my reputation is known outside the mountain." Esdeath said as she puts a hand on her chest.
"Oh certainly Esdeath, who would not know the general who uses her own soldiers as disposable pawns." Talulah said.
"They're fine. They're androids, remember? It's not like they are actually dead." Esdeath said as she then raised her sword. "Let's start fighting, shall we?" Talulah just nodded as she then charge with her sword raised. Esdeath blocks her attack in time with her ice sword. Both fire and ice became hotter and colder to their surroundings.
On the center side of the battlefield. Ochako was pushing, pulling, throwing, and blasting away enemies with her gravity powers. Some enemies were sent flying to the sky, some got buried under ground, and some got crushed by the powerful gravity weight. She was doing good until, an explosion happen in front of her. The smokes cleared up to reveal someone she thought she lost long long ago. "K-Katsuki..?" She said in disbelieve. In front of her is an ash blonde guy with red eyes, wearing a black kevlar suit and black military pants. On his arms were grenade like gauntlets, that glows orange a bit.
"Missed me round face?" Katsuki said with a smirk on his face.
"I thought you died." Ochako said as she was about to tear up.
"She saved me." Katsuki said referencing Shuten Douji, which makes Ochako stop doing anything. "When I was on death's door, she gave me this juice that regenerate me till full health. Since then I have been grateful to her." He said as Ochako then looked serious. "What's wrong?"
"... You're not him." Ochako said as the ground beneath them cracks up and they both got sent to the sky. "He would never be this nice." She said as Katsuki fell down on one knee, due to the gravity pressure.
"... Your right, I'm not him. I'm a servant of Shuten Douji." Katsuki said with a straight face as he stood up with no problem. "You will surrender to us, and this conflict can end." He said calmly.
"... I'll get you out of there, Kacchan." Ochako said as she readies herself. "I promise."
"So be it." Katsuki said as he then grinned like a madman. "Let's do this, Round Face!" He said as his hand started to create small explosions. And they both clashes in the sky above. As they clash, below them Patriot and Liskarm were having some difficulties fighting this many people. Some soldiers managed to slipped through, but luckily the snipers and casters were able to handle that. Firewatch then reached for her pocket and grab a radio.
"Fire!" As she said this three projectiles sent down from above, killing almost every soldier the shield guards were having trouble with. Firewatch knew that this might happen, so the day before D-day she set up 3 artilleries hidden in the woods around the battlefield. The problem was that she can use it for 4 times to call in the artilleries, and each artillery only focuses on one area. So she had to timed it right.
Mudrock was bashing the enemy soldiers with her hammer, destroying them in one go. Seeing as there are many more soldiers coming, she thought this is the right moment to called it in. She dropped on one knee with a barrier appearing around her. As the soldiers kept hitting whatever they have the didn't notice the slowly growing golems behind them. As the golems finished growing, Mudrock stood up and release a blast around her that stuns everyone in the vicinity. She then bashes the soldiers in a very fast pace than before, with the golems started to attack and crush many enemy soldiers. Mudrock then spin around in a circle with her hammer hitting the soldiers around her.
Back to Blaze and her opponent. Both Blaze and her opponent clash chainsaw. Sparks flying everywhere along with yellow lightning. Both knocked back each other, and charge again, and they are back to clashing with each other again. This action was repeated over 4 times until Tachibana have enough of this. He then charges with his chainsaw in an x motion. Blaze dodges to the left and did a quick swipe with her chainsaw to his sides. She heard her grunt as she realized that this man is a real person. She didn't want to hurt him much, so she decided to not deal any lethal blow. Tachibana turn around with his left chainsaw over his head and aimed at Blaze. Blaze luckily manage to put up her chainsaw at the right moment and blocked his chainsaw from splitting her in half. He then uses his right chainsaw to hit her and then he hit her with both his chainsaw repeatedly. Slowly Blaze, started to lose her defense with each hit, and eventually she fell down on one knee. Tachibana quickly discard her chainsaw to the right, which the chainsaw accidentally mowed down some of the Ooenian soldiers. Blaze thinking quickly run towards her chainsaw, manage to reach it in time, then turn around, and her chainsaw was stabbed at Tachibana's chest without her thinking. Time seems to froze around them as Blaze look upon with horror as she accidentally killed her former teacher.
A memory flashback of a young Blaze with Tachibana training together in the arts of chainsaw warfare was shown. Flash forward to a few years older Blaze wielding her chainsaw with Tachibana as everything around them is on fire. Then after the battle, her teacher's death and funeral. Her capabilities testing in Rhodes Island with Doctor, a young Amiya, and Kal'tsit watching her progress.
Back in the present, Tachibana cough, blood spewing out of his mouth, as he then looked at Blaze.
And smiled.
"Not bad kid..." He said as his body flickers, and a bright light shone. As the light tone down, it reveals a white mannequin. The mannequin went limp as both chainsaw on the mannequin's hand fell down. She shook her head, and start mowing down every enemy soldier in the vicinity. While fighting, Blaze thought of something. Did they have the power to resurrect people and control their mind and will? She focuses back on the battle and leaves this question to be answered when they finally manage to get inside the mountain.
Back with Talulah as she continues to fire slash at Esdeath, with her also countering her with ice slash. They are both on equal ground. Fire and Ice both cancelling each other. Talulah decided on another approach, and charges close. Esdeath, somehow, does the same thing she did. Both weapons clashed and locked. "This starting to get boring. Want to go all out?" Esdeath asked.
"Heh. I was about to asked the same thing." Talulah replied with a smirk. As she said this both power increased drastically, which causes a few soldiers to either froze or melted. Then they clash again that causes powerful waves of fire and ice in every direction. At the sky Ochako is dodging Katsuki's explosion with every platform that she could bring up.
"Stop dodging Round Face!" Katsuki yelled as he had a very angry and annoyed look on his face. He then blast himself like a rocket towards Ochako, trying to headbutt her. Only for her to dodge again and him hitting his head on the platform. He then let out a scream of rage and began to send explosions everywhere. Unfortunately, Ochako got blast by one of his explosions and loses focus. The platform began to fall down, so does she and Katsuki. Thankfully, she regain her focus and everything is floating again. "I see your the only thing keeping us both floating. Pretty impressive focus you got there." Katsuki commented as he smirked. Ochako didn't answer and just glared at him. He frowned "What? I'm not allowed to complement you?" He asked.
"No. The more I look at you, the more I wanted to put you to rest." She said.
"Alright." He then put one of his hand up and aims it...
Below him...
Ochako realizes what he was going to do, and quickly acts. "Universal Pull!" She yelled as Katsuki was suddenly pull towards her with immense gravitational pull towards her. Not giving him a chance, Ochako releases a flurry of punches and kicks. "Almighty Push!" She said as she then push him to one of the platform, practically make him stuck there. Then she put her hand together. All the other floating platform suddenly closes in on Katsuki's platform. One by one every single platform has been piled up on Katsuki making a planet made out of earth platforms, where Ochako then she releases the planet imitation down, and added a huge amount of gravitational force downwards. Thankfully, she aimed it at the enemy, and it destroyed 1/4 of the soldier reinforcement, along with creating a crater. "I'm sorry..." She said as she shed a tear at her former husband's death. As she was about to go down, she heard a huge explosion at the crater and saw Katsuki really angry. His body is glowing, and seemingly his body seems to pulse. She then remembers how he dies back then.
A flashback was shown of Ochako escaping an invasion on her home with her helping a few people out and looking back at Katsuki, alone and taking on all the invaders. He looked at her one more time and smiled. After that, he got really angry and destroy everything in the vicinity. The next day, Ochako and a few people mourns for his death.
Cuts back to present time, and she widens her eyes as what is about to happen. She quickly came down and fall back. "Everyone take cover! He's about to blow!" She screamed as everyone saw a bright light coming from the crater and saw Katsuki glowing orange and was about to blow. The soldiers fall back, Liskarm, Patriot, Mudrock, and Blaze notice them falling back and follows them. Back at Katsuki, he suddenly calms down with a shock expression on his face.
"Oh n-" He didn't get to finish as he blows up completely decimating everything around him. Unfortunately, or fortunately, Talulah and Esdeath got caught in the blast. Talulah was fine since she was immune to fire, but Esdeath widen her eyes and creates an ice sphere protecting her. As the final soldier from Reunion manage to cross the shield guard line, they were met with a shock wave from the explosion blast. Thankfully the woman in the hood with horns on either side of the head appeared suddenly and cast a powerful shield barrier around every Reunion soldier and their base. But the blast was still too much for her too handle. Thankfully, Frostnova created a huge ice sphere that basically covers every Reunion soldiers.
After the blast dissipate and the smoke gone, they all saw that the battlefield. The battlefield is now a giant crater that looked like it got hit by a huge explosion, which it did. Thanks to the barrier and ice barrier, their base and everything behind them is safe, but not many made it to the barrier in time thus making their bodies incinerated by the explosion. From afar they could see an ice dome that seems like its going to melt anytime, the unconscious body of Talulah, who for some reason still have her clothes clean and in good condition despite being exploded earlier, on the ground of the crater, and the now standing up general Ibaraki of the Ooenian empire. Her clothes still clean and in good condition, standing up casually while holding her giant bone sword on her right.
"That god damned idiot..." Ibaraki muttered as she then looked towards the Reunion army. "Don't go celebrate yet Reunion scum! You still have to deal with me!" As she said this the mountain opens side ways to reveal a giant purple and green mecha that has a skinny and tall figure, a horn in the forehead, shoulder blades that went up, and a red cable attached to its back. "And EVA 01!" She yelled as the mecha's mouth split apart, revealing its teeth, and roared loudly. While roaring, Ibaraki powers up with her surrounding suddenly catching flames.
"I'm scared..." One of the soldiers said fearfully as he looked at the giant mecha. With the mecha and Ibaraki finally fighting, it was hopeless. Their leader is unconscious, some of their forces are tired from fighting the enemy soldiers, Liskarm, Mudrock, Frostnova, Ochako, and Blaze included, Firewatch can't really call in any artillery since they were all destroyed in the explosion, and the woman in the black hood passes out. Then suddenly Patriot steps in. Every soldier was surprised, and act to stop him from fighting them.
"Stop!" Patriot shouted, stopping everyone on its track. "I'm aware that some of you are scared, tired, and hopeless against the inevitable. We have come this far to fight for freedom. We have lost a few brothers and sisters in this battle, and no more shall fall now. I will stand in your place, as you have done so before. Let me, and our fallen brethren, be the one that will be remembered as heroes in history books and tales, with you being the one to tell the tale with your family and friends. Let me... handle this while you take rest." He said as he continued to walk into the crater. He jumped down inside the crater, and proceed to walked towards Ibaraki, who hold out a hand to signal the mecha to stand down.
(AN: I'm not good with making inspiring speeches, so if it's not a good speech, just think of the speech like "You have done a good job, let me handle the rest.".)
"Ohh... You are approaching me? Instead of retreating or waiting for the inevitable, you approached me?" Ibaraki asked in a mocking and overconfident manner.
"I could not beat you without getting closer." Patriot said as he was a few foot away from Ibaraki. Patriot readies his shield and javelin, while Ibaraki just casually lifts her sword and put it on her shoulder. Silence befell, and then Ibaraki shot ahead like a bullet and hit Patriot with a shield, which he luckily manage to raise his shield just in time for the sword to hit. Patriot proceeds to counter with hitting Ibaraki with his javelin to the left. She manage to recover mid-air and proceed to charge again, this time ready to counter his counter block. As she charges and Patriot readies his shield, she suddenly moves to the right mid-air and slashes his back. Frostnova, who was now not tired anymore but still drained, spectate the battle and a face of horror dawn on her face. Back in the battle, they each strikes first then counter, then strike again, then counter the counter attack. This pattern seems to be repeated many times, with new strategies and new maneuvers. But suddenly that pattern was broken when Ibaraki got frustrated and goes way faster and stronger than before. Patriot didn't expect her to suddenly show up in his face and slash him with a big fire slash, that was strong enough to destroy his shield as he was knocked back. Frostnova screams and comes down to accompany her father.
"Father! No!" She said as she runs toward him. Patriot stood up, with a big slash across his chest as Frostnova is now behind her. "Dad!"
"Yelena! You need to stay with the others!" Patriot said.
"I'm not loosing you! Not again!"
"Please I'm begging you! Go back!"
"No!"
"Yelena this is not the- ugh - the time!
"I don't want to be alone again!"
"Yelena, y-you have to know that you are not alone. You have friends to support you." Patriot sighed. "I have... cancer..." Those words froze Yelena to the core.
"W-what..?"
"Even if I get to lived, there is no telling when I will die."
"Since when..?"
"... A year since I found you."
Yelena didn't spoke a word.
"... I didn't want to make you worried. You are young, you have so much life ahead of you. Me on the other hand, I'm old. We will all die eventually, either of age or natural causes. You have to let go of me and be with someone who you wanted to be." Patriot said as he puts a hand on her shoulder. "Although try to be careful when picking someone, you can never know what these people true intentions are."
"...Yes, dad." Yelena said as she was crying. She turns back and walk towards the base. "Good bye, dad."
"Good bye..." Patriot said as his body begins to gain power boost. "... my snowflake." He said as he then yelled to the sky as his body was given tremendous boost from before. He blast towards Ibaraki, who was yawning and waiting for their fight to begin, and hits her with his javelin at her head as she was spinning and flying back at the tremendous strength. Patriot groaned as his body begin to feel pain. Not wanting to give her any openings, he proceed to charge to her again to hit her in every direction with super speed, totally being berserker right now. With each hit became more and more powerful, his health and cancer began to grow much worse. Knowing that his 2 final attack will kill him, he backs off to a great distance and throws his Javelin with all his strength and power. Pinning her to the ground with the javelin through her chest. Patriot then charges with all his might and right hand to punch her in the face really hard. Which he did, making a wind burst and Ibaraki, along with the javelin still sticking to the ground, got hit back really hard and fast that she went through the mountain's gate and inside the mountain. As the winds settles down, and the smokes dissipates, Patriot was seen standing with his fist outstretch.
And fell down.
The lights in his eyes faded.
And died.
The mecha was just standing there doing nothing at all, while the reunion army and everyone there, started crying and weeping the lost of a Patriot. Noticing the mecha was not doing anything at all, they got tensed and wait for the mecha to strike. This makes them a lot more tensed and scared. But suddenly...
"THAT F**KING HURT!"
The voice of the supposed dead Ibaraki was heard from the mountain gate. They all looked there and found Ibaraki with her right side of her torso and head gone, revealing a bloody mess. "You know! I was going easy on you! But you managed to hurt me this much!" She said as blood spilled out of her half mouth. "AND I HAD IT WITH YOU ALL!" She turns towards the mecha. "DESTROY!" She shouted at the mecha. "DESTROY EVERYONE IN THE VICINITY!"
The mecha stood silent.
And proceeded to stomp Ibaraki relentlessly. Stomping her, then rapidly punch her to the ground as it screams. Blood was flying everywhere. The mecha finally stops attacking and turn its target towards the Reunion. They all scream in horror as they saw that the mecha was running towards them, roaring. Until a blue and white mecha appeared and punch the purple and green one from it's right, and got sent to the left. They all looked to their left and saw the blue and white mecha gave them a nod. Blaze and Liskarm then recognizes the mecha, and nods back. The mecha then proceed to follow the purple one, to finish dealing with EVA 01.
"It's-" Blaze didn't get to say much as 7 ships appeared behind everyone. One big ship that seems to carry the same mecha that saves them, and 6 small ones that are fit to bring more soldiers or squad.
One of the ships turned around and proceed to fly down slowly. The door opens revealing Doctor with his arms wide. "YOUR SAVIOURS! ARE HERE!" He shouted as the ship touched down.
"Doctor!" Blaze and Liskarm called.
Doctor got off the ship followed by Kal'tsit and a couple other faces. "Wow, what a crater. Shame I didn't get to see it in person. Would've been an awesome sight." W commented only to get hit in the head by Mark.
"Don't say that. Good people might have died in the explosion." Mark said as he then notices the ice dome and Talulah. "What's with the ice dome and that unconscious lady?" He asked.
"Blaze! Liskarm! You're alright!" Doctor greeted them, then he noticed some people missing. "Wait where's the rest of the squad?"
"In the mountain, fighting the enemy on the inside." Frostnova said as she suddenly appeared between them.
"Um... who are you?" Doctor asked.
"What enemy?" Kal'tsit asked then Frostnova proceed to tell everything that happen earlier. "I see... Get the medical officers, and Surtr to get the one on the crater. We will then proceed to enter the mountain on foot." She tells one of the operator who is wearing kevlar, grey long sleeved shirt, black helmet and jeans, carrying a riot shield with what seems to be a flash on the middle of the shield and a hand gun. The operator has ash blonde hair and yellow eyes, along with a pale skin.
"On it." The operator said as he left to do that.
"Doctor, you explain the situation to everyone." Kal'tsit said.
"Yes, ma'am." Doctor said as he then approached the rescue team.
"We'll move after everyone here is patched up. Understood?" Kal'tsit said as the Blaze and Liskarm nodded. "Good, now go get some rest. Must've been a long day." She said as they proceed to leave.
"I'll go help them." Frostnova said as she follows Blaze and Liskarm.
Kal'tsit is now left alone, with everything happening behind her. She then walked towards the edge of the crater and saw the body of Patriot. "Good bye old friend..." She muttered as she then returned to the squad.
PART 2
Earlier... before the reinforcement's arrival... (AN: The mecha fight will be shown after this part. This is going to be one loooong chapter.)
Five ships were seen flying above the sea, with one small ship and one big ship catching up to them. Inside the small ship that was catching up to the others, the operators were chatting with each other.
"So you're twins?" Mark asked curiously.
"Yes, we are." The dark skinned man, now identified as Carlos AKA Thorns, said. "Although it may seemed nice to a lot of people, but in truth it's not. It's absolute h-" He was cut off by the dark skinned woman next to him, now identified as Carla AKA Thatcher, hitting him in the ribs. "... Absolute fun." He continued while gritting his teeth in pain as he then holds his ribs and groaned.
"Oh man up, I didn't hit you that hard Carlos." Carla said while looking at her rifle.
"Screw you Carla..." He said as he then went to check on his vials again.
"What's with the vials?" Mark asked as he notice the vials.
"These vials contains highly corrosive substance, made from a formula that I accidentally created years ago, probably your age, that I usually use on my sword as projectiles. Although, the ones I use on my sword are not lethal, that's a different formula which I also accidentally made. I can only bring three vials containing my most lethal corrosive substance mostly for demolition purposes." Carlos said.
"I see..." Mark said with fascination. On another seat is Cassie talking to a wolf boy named Aosta.
"So why're you here?" Cassie asked.
"My girlfriend is missing, so I'm looking for her now." Aosta said bluntly
"I see..." Cassie said. "Who's your girlfriend?"
"... It's Rebecca." Aosta said.
"Why the pause?"
"Why are you so curious?"
Cassie just shrugged. "I'm bored. When I'm bored I ask a lot of questions."
"... Try not to ask personal questions." Aosta said.
"So, where are you from?"
"Siracusa, just west of Vale near the docks."
"You lived alone?"
"No, I lived with two friends of mine, Chiave and Broca. After I answered all your questions, can I ask you questions?"
"Sure." As Aosta and Cassie started conversing with each other, Charlie is checking her stuff. Next to her is the lioness, Botan.
"Hey I know you." She said. "Your from the Penguin Logistics right?"
"...Yes, how do you know?" Charlie answered and asked hesitantly.
"I met your boss in one of my mom's meetings. He's a really cool guy. Talks highly of you and the other workers. He even showed us photos of you on your first day with those two." Botan said. "We did a collaboration once in one of my streams."
"You're a streamer?" Charlie asked as Botan has her full attentions.
"Yep, you are looking at Shishiro Botan, the lioness pro FPS gamer." She said proudly.
"What made you join Rhodes Island?" Charlie asked.
"To connect more with my parents, and my streams didn't get that much money since I'm an independent streamer." Botan said.
"Your parents work here?" Charlie asked surprised.
"No, they just made deals with Rhodes Island. Ever heard of Karlan Trade co. or Karlan Commercial?" Botan asked.
"Those companies that came from beyond the Atlas mountains? Yes." Charlie answered. "Wait..."
"Yep. That's my dad's company, Enciodas Silverash." Botan said proudly.
"Wow... what about your mom?" Charlie said as she was very surprised of the revelations.
"She's... a street gang leader..." Botan said hesitantly.
"Ok. What's wrong with that?" Charlie asked, Botan was surprised by this response.
"A lot of people didn't like me back then because of mom's reputation. Considering that I'm also a Silverash born from the love bonds of basically a king and a delinquent, it might bring bad news for both side." Botan said. "So they sent me to live in Vale with enough money and taught me how to live on my own. They would occasionally visit me, but it usually just for a day. Then I heard that they were cooperating in Rhodes Island, so I decided to join and here I am now." She sighed as she leans back. "I just want to be with them so we can be a family, not some distance cousin or something." She then turn her heads towards Charlie. "What about you? What's your family like?" She asked with a smile.
"I... can't remember..." Charlie said as she has a headache.
"Oh damn, sorry for your loss." Botan said. "Want to talk about something else?"
"Sure." And so they talked about something else. Near at the door was W seating alone while looking at Kal'tsit and Doctor. Unbeknownst to them, in front of her is the red haired lady with purple eyes, AKA Surtr, is looking at her and tried to connect the dots.
"Hey, you." Surtr called W, which she responds by looking at her. "What did you do?" She asked.
"What?" W confused at her question.
"What did you do to make her mad at you?" Surtr repeated her question.
"Oh... mostly property damage... and almost killing Doctor with an explosion." W said. "She didn't like that very much."
"Oh... Yep that'll do." Surtr didn't say much after that. "Where did you came from?"
"V-"
"Not that. Where did you came from?"
"... Babel." W said as she narrowed her eyes.
She smirked. "Hel." That made W looked at her in surprise. "You're not the only who escape to this place."
"Are there others you know?" W asked as she leaned in.
"Met some on my travels, I know two very closely, and the other one is living in a farm in Mistral." Surtr said.
"What made you moved here?" W asked.
"Same as everybody. To escape the war." She said. Then silence befell on them. "You still remember her?" She asked.
"...Yeah." W said. "Everyday..."
"... We all missed her..." Surtr said sadly. "Want to talk about something?"
"No, I don't think I will." W said as she then leaned back and closed her eyes. "Wake me up when we get there." With that W took a nap.
Meanwhile in the big dropship, both teams were amazed at the sight of the giant mecha and a few other vehicles there. They were in the cargo hold, surrounded by cargos, supplies and vehicles. "Impressed? We Rhodes Island usually have lots of help from Black Steel Worldwide who generously gave us the man power and supplies we needed." The snake girl from before said. "Hello everyone. I'm Emily, nice to meet you guys." She greeted herself.
"Hello, I'm Weiss Schnee. Heir to the SDC." Weiss introduced herself.
"Hi, I'm Jaune." Jaune said with a little wave.
"Pyrrha. Pyrrha Nikos." Pyrrha said with a little smile.
"Nora Valkyrie!" Nora said cheerfully.
"Blake." Blake said.
"Ren." Ren said.
Then they all turn to Erik. He noticed their looking at him. "What? Oh right. Erik Lensher at your service."
"Again, nice to meet you." Emily said. Then they heard a voice.
"Oy! Emily!" They all turn to saw an orange haired girl, a year or two younger than them, wearing a black shirt with long sleeves, a kevlar that has a grenade and a flashbang, long grey pants, a black beanie, black military shoes, and fingerless gloves. The most noticeable thing about her is that she has a scar on her right eye. "Have you seen Ace around? That bloody bastard is going to have what's coming to him." The girl said surprising everyone, except Erik and Emily, due to her way of talking.
"Is this because he stole your cigar?" Emily asked, deadpanned.
"No, it's because he stole my vodkas." The girl said.
"Aren't you too young to drink those?" Jaune asked, which made her looked towards him.
"Come here." The girl said as he obliged. Only for the girl to strike him in the nuts after a few steps away from her. Thankfully his reflexes kicked in and stop the, surprisingly strong, punch from the girl. "Huh. Good reflexes, and no, I'm old enough to drink whatever I want." She said impressed at his reflexes as she put down her fist.
"Despite her appearance, she's actually in her 40s." Emily said like a fun fact, shocking the team. "Everybody, this is the captain of the 3rd division of Rhodes Island, Miho Nishizumi." She introduces her. "Also, captain, no drinking. We're going to need everyone on their fullest potential."
"Uhhh... fine. But I'm still going to kick his ass." Miho said as she took of, leaving the group.
"Oh! Captain!" Emily called. Miho turns back to look at her. "You might want to take a left." Emily said as she grin evilly. Miho grin as well and nodded back. "Everyone let's go meet the others upstairs."
TIMESKIP
"Here we are!" Emily said as she opened the door, revealing 70 seats with at least half of them were taken. "This is where we all seated when we're on the air." She explained. "Sadly there's only the cargo deck, this place, the toilet on the back, and the pilot's room. We have a bigger ship that was design for mass evacuation if a very destructive disaster occurs, just for safe keeping." She said.
"Aren't you a pharmaceutical company?" Blake asked.
"That's just one of our branch. In truth we are an organization with lots of branches that sets to help everyone everywhere, no matter what." Emily said.
"Question. Where did you get all the money to make all this? Because I'm still skeptical about a pharmacist company in actuality is a PMC." Weiss said as she narrowed her eyes.
"Simple. We made deals with Karlan Commercials, Penguin Logistics, Rhine Labs, Knights of Kazimiers, Iberia, Aegir, Bolivar, Black Steel Company, and many more." Emily said.
"...I don't even know half of those, but I do know that Karlan is from Kjerag, and Aegir is a myth." Weiss said still skeptical.
"What exactly do you know about those two?" Emily asked. Weiss about to say something until Blake cut her.
"Karlan is a small trade company that was run by Faunuses from beyond the mountains of Atlas, and the only gateway towards Kjerag. Many people tried to acquire the information of the gateway, but none succeed. In later years, assassins were sent to capture and acquire the info, but none succeed and it led to the downfall of many nobles and companies. Not much is known about Kjerag other than rumors said that it was a place rich with dust and other materials. As for Aegir, it's a lost kingdom located between Vale, Mistral, and Menagerie that was once a very advance civilization, until disaster struck and the kingdom sunk into the ocean." Blake explained, making everyone looked at her in surprise. "What? I like history." Blake added.
"That would be correct, until we made a deal with Karlan that we would be the only one they would collaborate with, and Aegirians appeared in one of our outposts and wanted to made a deal with us specifically. Don't know how they did it, but they know almost everything that had ever happen to the world ever since they're kingdom sunk." Emily said. "Also don't tell this to anyone outside of Rhodes Island, including the headmaster. If you do we will be force to silence you, got it?" She warned with menacing eyes, that seemed to make everyone shiver except Jaune, Nora, and Erik.
"We promise!" Nora said as she pat Emily's shoulder. "And I never break promises! Right Ren?" She asked for confirmation.
"She might be... hyperactive and carefree, but one thing about her is that she always kept her promises." Ren said.
"Arc's honor." Jaune said while putting a hand on his chest. The others just nodded.
"Great! You can seat and wait here, or explore the ship. I'll be on the RX-78-2." Emily said as she goes to the cargo deck. With that everyone decided to split up, except for Erik he's staying with his granddaughter. As Blake walk through the seats that were taken and not taken. Someone did catches her eye. It was a girl, one or two years older, with short purple hair wearing a black and purple furry jacket, black T-shirt, black long pants, and shoes. She has a purple goggle on her head, and a sniper rifle on her left. She's not really a kind of person that would stick out much and prefers to be alone, like Blake, but what stood out the most was that this girl had three octopus tentacles as a tail. She's currently reading a light novel. Blake, who decided to stay and wait for their arrival, and also because she smell fish coming from the purple haired girl, went to seat next to her.
"Excuse me." Blake called her, she answered by looking up her light novel. "Is this seat taken?" She asked, she answered with a shake of her head. "Thank you." Blake proceed to seat next to her. Silence befell on them, with a few talking in the background, and due to Blake's faunus heritage she can faintly hear someone humming a tune that she found interesting. Only for her to realize that humming came from the other side of the seats. When she spotted that person who was humming,
Her heart beat beat loudly.
In her perspective anyway...
In front of her is a man, looks a few years older than her, with white hair and a streak of red hair, light brownish white eyes, wears a white coat with a black shirt, grey jeans, and black with dark redish brown outline shoes. He carries a sword on his right hip and a staff that was made for communication with a streak of blue flag attached to it. What made Blake heart beat loudly was the fact that he is incredibly handsome (for her anyway). He had a neutral face while humming a tune. He wasn't looking at anybody particularly, until he noticed that Blake has been staring at him. He stopped humming and looked at her, which she immediately looked away with a blush. He smirked at her reaction.
Blake didn't know what's going on. What made her suddenly have an interest in someone she hasn't met yet? Love at first sight? No, don't be ridiculous, this is not a fairy tale. Then she heard his humming became louder, and louder, until he eventually sings with a language she doesn't understand.

"Jiwaku berbisik lirih~~. Kuharus memiliki mu~~." He then stood up from his seat and continues to sing. "Aku bisa membuatmu~ Jatuh cinta kepadakuMeski kau tak cinta~~ kepadaku~ beri sedikit waktu~~ Biar cinta datang karena telah terbiasa~~... Simpan ma-." He was then cut off by a punch to the face interrupting his singing by the girl with purple hair that seat next to Blake.
"Kenapa kamu harus seperti ini..?" The purple haired girl muttered in depression to herself with a language Blake didn't understand.
"Ayolah, Andre... Kenapa harus di muka..?" The guy with white and a red streak hair said while he touch his face.
"Kamu tahu jelas kenapa." 'Andre' simply said. She then turn to Blake. "I'm sorry for my friend's behavior, he often charm girls like us with his singing and face, but don't let it fool you. Because in actuality, he's a ladies man." 'Andre explained.
"Hey, hey, hey. Andre, jangan bilang gitu dong! Aduh... Gue gimana mau dapat cewe kalo lu kayak gini..." He said depressively. All that feeling Blake has towards him is now completely gone.
"Ya, bisa dimulai dengan benerin sikap lo, El!" 'Andre' said. Then she realizes something, as she then turn back towards Blake. "Oh! We haven't introduce ourselves, have we? My name's Andreana Joyce Hendrawan, you can call me Andreana or Joyce." She then pointed towards the guy. "This idiot flirt, is Elliot Dimas Purnama, codename 'Elysium'." She introduces him.
"Pleasure to meet you lady." Elysium said with a grin.
"... I'm going to find another seat." Blake said deadpanned while walking away.
"W-wait..!" Elysium tried to call her Blake was already gone away. He then sighed. "There goes another one..." He said as he slumped to the floor.
"Hmm... Masih ada kesemaptan sih..." Andreana muttered under her breath, which Elysium hears.
"BENERAN?!" He asked excitedly with a happy and relief expression as he invade Andreana's private space.
"Bilang maaf dulu, dan mulai dari awal, dan mungkin kamu bisa..? Also please, munduran dikit, mulut lu bau." Andreana said as Elysium backs off and returns to his seat. "Hope he really fix it this time." She said as she returned to her seat.

In another part of the seats Weiss encounters someone she didn't thought she would ever meet again. It was a girl her age with long golden blonde hair styled entirely in large coils and brown eyes. Wears blue ribbons on her hair, long blue dress with long sleeves. Next to her is a man with red and white hair that reminds Weiss of a peppermint candy and weird white eyes. He wears a blue butler outfit with a red bowtie. Weiss decided to approached her.
"Excuse me. Luvia..?" Weiss called out. Luvia turn to her and immediately recognizes Weiss.
"Oh my gods! Weiss! It's so good to see you again!" Luvia said as she got up and went to hug her.
"Yeah..." Weiss said as she awkwardly hug her back. They both let go. "How long has it been? 9 years?" Weiss asked.
"7 actually." Luvia said. " Why don't we seat down and chat more?"
"Sure." Weiss said. They both then took a seat.
"Good to see you again miss Schnee." The butler said.
"Oh, Peter. It's nice to see you too." Weiss said as she then turned towards Luvia. "Are you with Rhodes Island?"
"Yep! My family thought that it would be good business to make deals with Rhodes Island. In exchange for supplies and knowledge, Rhodes Island helped us with our studies and protection, and other things. Also, you do remember about our companies rivalry with yours in terms of technology." Luvia said.
"Yeah, I do..." Weiss said.
"Well, Rhodes Island thought of the same thing! Why rely on one power source when you can make many power sources from other things!" Luvia said. "Best deal ever. Now I'm here as a representative of the Edelfelt Industries and an operator along with my butler, which you already remember." She explained. "So how was your days been since the last we've seen each other?" As Luvia and Weiss retell the stories ever since they're separated 7 years ago, Ren and Nora were exploring down stairs at the cargo hold. They were looking at the many vehicles and cargos that was hold there, along with the giant mecha sitting at the back of the ship. Below the giant mecha were a giant trapdoor, for easy deployment more or less. As they explore more of the cargo hold, they soon discover something that catches their eyes. It was a small girl with long white hair and cat ears. She wears a blue jacket that has Rhodes Island name on it, and a white dress. She was seen sleeping in one of the vehicles. It was a cute view.
*CLICK**CLICK*
"Hold it right there pal." A woman voice said as two guns were pointed at Ren and Nora's heads. "That is a 500 SW Magnum revolver with experimental aura breaking ammunition pointing at your head, courtesy of Black Steel Worldwide." She said.
"Turn around. Slowly." A man's voice said. Ren and Nora turned around and finally knows who was pointing at their heads. They saw two people pointing a rifle and a revolver on their head, an old woman and a man. The woman, the one holding the revolver, has white hair that was tied into a ponytail and silver eyes, wears a jacket as an impromptu cloak, black T-shirt with one long sleeve on her left arm, black gloves, black short pants, and black shoes. She also wears a cowboy hat, and has a halo and crystal like wings on her back. The man, the other one holding the rifle, has short black hair, wears a standard Rhodes Island jacket, long blue military pants, a mask and sunglasses that completely covers his face, and a hat. He also have horns coming out of each side of the head. "Who are you and what are you doing here?" He asked in complete seriousness.
"My name is Ren, and this is my friend and partner Nora. We're students from Beacon, training to become future huntsman and huntress." Ren said calmly.
"Just because your a kid doesn't mean we'll letting you go easily." The man said.
"Scout... Stand down." The woman said towards the man, Scout. She then turned towards Ren and Nora. "Kid's like you two shouldn't be here, what you saw right there is classified." She warned.
"You mean... the kid?" Nora asked.
"... Yes, the kid." Scout said.
"Is that a pause?"
"No, it's not."
"It is."
"It's not."
"It is!"
"It's not!"
"Aaaaand we're done." The lady said as she put away her weapon, so does Scout. "Sorry for spooking you earlier, needed to make sure you weren't lying." The lady said as she glared towards Scout.
"What?" Both Ren and Nora said.
"It was a scare tactic. A much better tactic, then knocking them, tying them up, and waking them up to torture." She said, making them relieved and scared, while glaring at Scout.
"I told you, I didn't know who that was! I thought he was a bandit or something with the way he dresses." Scout exclaimed as he received a smack to the head, courtesy of the lady.
"Hey! Watch that tone boy! Or I smack you again!" She said.
"Yes ma'am." Scout said hurriedly.
She sighed. "... You youngsters and those attitudes. Ugh." She said as she then turned towards the two. "Anyway, call me Outcast, this boy here is Scout."
"Hi."
"And we're elite operators of Rhodes Island. Me being the second oldest, and that sleeping kid the youngest." She said.
"Oh okay, nice to meet yo- wait did you say sleeping kid?" Nora said.
A sound of someone waking up can be heard. "What time is it?" The girl in one of the vehicles said.
"It's currently... 10:02 AM." Outcast said as she looked down at her watch.
"Huh... I should go up stairs now." The girl said as she got out of the vehicle with the help of Scout. "Thank you." She thanked him, which he replied with a nod. She then notices the two other people in the cargo. "Oh hello there."
"Hi!" Nora said cheerfully as she got close to her. "Your so cute~!" And proceed to hug her, which she doesn't mind.
"Nora. Please give her space." Ren said deadpanned.
"Okay Renny." Nora said as she lets go.
"Hi, I'm Rosmontis, what's your name?"
"Hi! I'm Nora Valkyrie of team JNPR!" Nora said as she flexed.
"Ren. Lie Ren." Ren said.
"Hello." Rosmontis said as a ping can be heard from the ship's PA system.
"Good morning everyone, this is captain John Price speaking. We are approaching our destination, all crewmembers please be seated in your seats. For we are about to initiate our pre-mission ritual. Thank you for your time." Said John Price.
"We should go now, don't want to miss it." Outcast said as she then goes upstairs followed by Rosmontis and Scout.
"Wait, what ritual?" Nora asked as she soon followed them along with Ren.
Jaune and Pyrrha were seating quietly and peacefully with a lady with blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing a white dress and carries a staff with a lantern attached to it. She also wears a hat that kind of reminds her of a sheep. She also have two horns that came out of her head from each side of her head, like W's. After that announcement from the captain, Jaune and Pyrrha were confused as to what pre-mission ritual is.
"Your new around here?" a man across Jaune and Pyrrha said. The man has black with a few hint of white hair, wears a beanie, and a military outfit with the name Rhodes Island attached to it. "Name's Gideon, and basically they're going to sing a song before every major mission."
"Wait how do you know we were wondering about that?" Jaune asked.
Gideon smirked. "Your face says it all." He said. Then the PA system went on. "Oh, here we go!"
PLAY: Arknights CC:2 OST - Art of Blade
A song can be heard playing from the PA system, while more people are started to coming up from below and took a seat. Making the place crowded. 'hmm's and 'ooh's can be heard from the operator that were there. Then one person began singing.
"I am the one, I'm here, I've infiltrated." Gideon sings in front of Jaune and Pyrrha, surprising them both.
"Your time has come to be downgraded." A man next to Gideon says, he wears the same thing as Gideon. He has short black wavy hair, beard, and a mustache. He has a name tag that says 'Mitchell'.
"I've already won as far as I can see," Elysium sang from the front.
"so keep your eyes on me." Andreana sang as well.
(AN: I'm just going to write down the name of whoever singing, my describing skill is trash and this might take longer if I described each one.)
"I recommend you keep your distance – I'm combustible." Miho sang as she sits next to Ace, who is seen a bit beaten up, while holding an MP5 gun. Her head began to nod to the rhythm.
"Keep on burning day and night – I'm unstoppable." Ace, with a face that shows that he had a struggle from earlier, sang while holding his hammer and shield. He also follows the rhythm by tapping his foot.
"I'm searing hot – I am untouchable!" Scout sang as he sits next to Outcast and Rosmontis.
"Yes, I'm on fire!" Outcast sang. "Ignited by a burning desire!"
"Can't contain this ember though you try!" Ghost sang as he holds a handgun.
"Despite all this time you try to stop me, I defy!" David Mason sang as he adjust his sunglasses.
"There's no bringing me down!" Soap and Roach sang at the same time.
"I am the one, I'll be bested by none now!" Kay sang as she sits next to Emily.
"When all is said and done," Emily sang.
"The day is mine!" Asbestos sang with a grin.
Meanwhile at the ship where the Doctor is currently at.
"Oh, like frostbite permeates into your bones," In another ship, doctor sings to the song. As it turns out the song was broadcasted to every ship that are in the area.
"I'll be the thief that sneaks through, to topple all your thrones." Thorns continues alongside Thatcher.
"I'll keep on pushing all night through the storm – I'm insatiable." Schwarz sang.
"Like a unrelenting swarm – insurmountable." Botan continues the song.
"I'll outperform – I'm uncontainable!" Nearl sang.
"Yes, I'm on fire!" Surtr continues to sing this chorus. "Ignited by a burning desire! Keep on melting holes right through the ice, And I disintegrate these frozen walls! I climb so high, there's no keeping me down!"
"I am the one, I'll be bested by none now! When all is said and done." Everyone, except (S)WM(P) and C(A)C(H), sang.
Then silence. Back with the bigger ship.
"Oh... As winter blows in to freeze it all to grey..." John Price sang.
"I'll be the heat that melts through to watch it fade away..." Everyone in the ship sang slowly, except (R)WB(Y), JNPR, and Erik.
"I recommend you keep your distance – I'm combustible" Sharp sang.
"Keep on burning day and night – I'm unstoppable." Eren Jeager sang.
"I'm searing hot – I am untouchable." Zombieman sang.
In another small ship.
"(I am the one, I'm here, I've infiltrated.)" Henry, Ellie, and Charles sang.
In another one.
"(The time has come to be downgraded.)" Deimos, Selever, and Ollo sang.
And another one.
"(I've already won as far as I can see, so keep your eyes on me!)" Clint, Natasha, and Shinso sang.
"Yes, I'm on fire!" Literally everyone on every ships in the sky sang. "Ignited by a burning desire! Can't contain this ember though you try! Despite all this time you try to stop me, I defy! There's no bringing me down! I am the one, your day of reckoning's come now! An overwhelming blaze that you can't outrun now! I've already won, prepare to be overrun! When all is said and done, The day is mine!" They all sang as Elysium was seen air guitaring.
"The day is mine!" Doctor sang.
"I am the one, I'll be bested by none now!" Everyone in the big ship sang.
"When all is said and done!" Captain John Price sang, and the song ended with Elysium. Everyone cheered, team (R)WB(Y), JNPR, (S)WM(P), C(A)C(H), and Erik included. Suddenly a huge explosion shockwave hits all the ships. They all recover from the shockwave and sat back to their seats. In doctor's ship, The doctor went to the pilot's cabin and saw a huge explosion mushroom cloud north east from the ship's perspective.
"What the f**k?" Doctor said as he goes to the radio. "Everyone there has been a massive explosion coming from the northeast! Every ship go northeast! There might be people down there!" He said as the ships went faster than before.
"There's a huge explosion..?" Weiss paled as she thought of the explosion that powerful. As the ship goes faster towards the mushroom cloud, it quickly dissipate and shows the giant purple mecha. The giant purple mecha stomps its foot at something and then continues to punch it repeatedly.
Charles saw this and immidietly inform the big ship. "Um... there's a giant purple mecha that reminded me of that one anime I watched years ago rampaging. You should probably sent in the one we have." He said nervously as the purple mecha continues to punch the spot.
Price got the news. "Emily! You're up!" He said as Emily nodded with a determined face as she goes down. "Everyone stay where you are seated! Let Emily deal with the giant robot."
"Sir! Are you sure she can do it?!" Jaune asked worried about Emily.
"Don't worry lad. She can handle it. She's train for this." John Price said as Emily was shown getting inside her mecha. She activated the mecha, and it's eyes glows. She flicked a switch and the floor beneath the mecha opens up, dropping the robot.
As the mecha was in the air, Emily stabilized the fall of her robot. The mecha quickly shifts position to a flying post as engines on it's back turn on, making it able to fly. She drives the mecha with great speed towards the purple mecha. With enough speed and momentum, she manage to arrive on time and hit the purple mecha, sending it away from the people. She stops for a moment and looks at the crowd and saw two familiar faces. Emily gave them a nod, and they nodded back. Emily then speed off to finish the fight.
Her mecha was on time again, as the purple mecha was trying to stand up. After getting closer, it turns out the purple mecha was bigger than Emily's. She activates the mecha's blaster shoots at its legs, trying to sever the leg, so it won't stand up. The purple mecha counters with blasters coming from its feet. Emily saw this avoids the incoming shots of blasters to the left. She shoots the blaster, effectively destroying it. The purple mecha roar and went to grab Emily. Emily dodges the incoming hand and turns on her energy sword. She slashes the hand off. The giant mecha howled in pain as it holds it missing hand. Knowing that this thing is not immune to her energy sword, she quickly went to cut of its legs. Unfortunately, the giant mecha seems to know her plan and went to intercept her by slapping her away. She was knocked back towards the ice dome, effectively breaking it and revealing Esdeath's unconscious body.
Emily stopped herself mid air, and went to turn back. Although the giant purple mecha is much faster than she thought, and catches her mecha. As she tries to reach for her energy sword, her right arm was cut off with a bite from the giant purple mecha. As she tries to find a solution, she still remember her blaster on her mecha's left arm. She then saw the cable attached to the mecha's nape. As the giant mecha was about to bite her, she shoots the mecha in the eyes, making it let go of Emily. Emily quickly out maneuvered the giant mecha and shoots its cable while the giant mecha is still hurt from her shooting.
She aims and she fires at the cable!
The cable got cut off, and the giant mecha froze.
Then the giant mecha falls down forward.
Emily gave a huge sigh of relief. As she was about to turn back, she got suspicious of the giant mecha. She turns on the blaster again and shoots it at the cable's spot, its legs, then its chest. After shooting it, she returns to the rest of them.
With the reinforcement, all the soldiers have been tended by the medics, there are some casualties, but due to their bodies being turn to dust by the previous explosion they can't say how much they lost. Blaze was seen helping some of the soldiers gets healed, until she saw Ace. "Ace!" She called out as she sprinted towards him.
"Hm?" Ace turns and saw Blaze. "'Sup Blaze?" He said as he wave a hand towards her. He didn't expect her to suddenly hug him. "U-um... Blaze?" He asked as he was blushing.
Blaze looked up with a relieved expression. "Ace! I thought I'd never see you again!" Blaze said with a smile.
"Heh. Don't worry, I'm always around you big cat." Ace said as he smirked and returns the hug. Only for his spine to almost break by Blaze.
"Did you just say I'm fat..?" Blaze asked menacingly as she goes to bear hug him with more strength.
"N-n-no! Please let go! I already got enough beating from Captain Miho!" He shouted as he felt his spine was about to break. Far away from Blaze and Ace, Miho and John looked at the two with smile on their face.
"When will they finally get together?" John asked as he looked at Miho.
"Hmm... I'll say 2 months." Miho answered as she shrugged.
"Well, I'll say a month." John said as he looked back at the two.
"2 Weeks." Ghost said as he suddenly appeared between Miho and John, startling them both.
"Jesus Christ, how you managed to do that still baffles both me and Miho." John said as he regain his composure, with Ghost just chuckles at his response. With Kal'tsit, still looking at the giant crater in front of them. She then looked up and saw a man sized hole by the foot of the mountain. She looked bellow and saw many people tried to lift Patriot's big body. She looked to the right and saw the approaching mecha that was driven by Emily, a few people carrying Talulah and Esdeath. From behind, Doctor approached Kal'tsit.
"Liskarm just told me that those three kids, that teacher dude, and some of our operator went into the mountain via airship." Doctor informed Kal'tsit. "Their location is in this gigantic mountain."
"... Amiya..." Kal'tsit said as she looked ahead. "Tell everyone we're heading in." She said as she still looks at the mountain.
"Yes, boss." Doctor said as he left to gather everyone.
"... What are you up to Douji..." Kal'tsit muttered under her breath.
Meanwhile in a hospital
A blonde man with blue eyes sit next to a bed with the comatose Yang, this is Taiyang, Yang' and Ruby's father. He sighed as he closes his eyes, lean down while holding his face and hope for her to recover. "C'mon Yang, please don't leave me. You're a strong girl. You can recover from whatever is happening to you in that mind of yours." He then became very depressed. "I can't lose the two of you."
After, the incident Taiyang was quickly informed of this along with his best bro Qrow. He has talked to the person who did this, and shouted at her. After knowing that she ran away, he's starting to regret shouting that day. Now, he has been visiting her while staying in Vale for two weeks.
"Sir?" He looked up to see a nurse called out to him. "Visiting hours is almost over."
"Oh, right. Thanks for reminding me." He said as he took one last looked at Yang. "See you tomorrow Yang." He then stood up from his chair and walked towards the door.
1 step...
3 step...
5 step...
Suddenly something fell down which causes a loud breaking noise behind Taiyang, which made him turned around in surprised.
But what he see now is very shocking...
"ALRIGHT LET'S DO THIS!"
Yang shouted while wearing a hospital gown with both her fist up expecting a fight with a smirk. She then realizes that she is not at the arena, and then she noticed her surrounding in a hospital. She also realizes that her weapons is not on her, and her clothes change to a hospital gown. Very confused, she finally recognizes the person in front of her, standing still in shock. "Dad?" She called out.
Taiyang hugged her, hard and not letting go while crying. "Thank gods, you're ok." He said while crying.
"What the hell happen..?" Yang asked very confused.
Meanwhile at the city of Vale
"So... you can stop time?" A guy with grey hair and eyes, wearing a grey long sleeved shirt and black long plants and black shoes asked.
"Yes, I can stop time, Mercury." Mostima said, very annoyed.
"I don't believe you." A girl with green hair and red eyes, wearing a white shirt, shorts and shoes said.
"You don't have to, Emerald." Mostima said as she holds up a wallet.
"What the-Eek?!" Emerald said as she squeak as if someone just grope her butt.
"Haha!" He laughed as he point at her, then trips over a pile of box that appear out of nowhere.
"You should put this wallet in a safer spot, that way thieves have a hard time searching your valuables." Mostima said as she gave Emerald her wallet back while eating an apple that came out of nowhere. "This applies to you as well, there are possible paranoid people that could put his valuables in a very protective spot. Even with your illusions, it can still give you a hard time searching it, because you need to focus both ways." She explained as they continue to walk through the town, with Mercury recovering from his fall. "Hey, does anyone feel like singing?" She asked.
"No, not really." Mercury said. "But I'm bored so, eh, what the heck." He said casually.
"How about you Emerald?" Mostima asked.
"Hmm... Alright, but we'll do one song, ok?" Emerald said.
"Ok~!" Mostima said as she pull out her scroll and search a song. "No... No... Maybe another time... Too lovey dovey... no lyrics... Aha! I bet you two know this one!" She said as she plays the song.
Play: Imagine Dragons - Enemy (feat. JID)
The song starts, both Mercury and Emerald instantly recognizes the song. Mostima smirked.
"Look out for yourself!"
"I wake up to the sounds of the silence that allows" Mostima sang as their surroundings slowed down until they all stopped.
"For my mind to run around, with my ear up to the ground
I'm searching to behold the stories that are told
When my back is to the world, that was smiling when I turned
Tell you you're the greatest
But once you turn they hate us" Mostima continues to sing while doing mischief at the pedestrian of Vale.
"Oh, the misery!" Mercury and Emerald join in on the singing.
"Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be
My enemy... y... y... y...
Look out for yourself!
My enemy... y... y... y...
Look out for yourself!"
"But I'm ready" Mostima sang as she let Emerald continues the second verse while Mercury just tripping people around and slapping them.
"Your words up on the wall, as you're praying for my fall" Emerald sang as Mostima decided to steal some money from people and pranking some, and Mercury decided this is his opportunity to be a pervert.
"And the laughter in the halls, and the names that I've been called
I stack it in my mind, and I'm waiting for the time
When I show you what it's like, to be words spit in a mic!
Tell you you're the greatest
But once you turn they hate us"
"Oh, the misery!" Mostima sang together with Emerald as she has a bag over her shoulder.
"Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be
My enemy... y... y... y...
Look out for yourself!
My enemy... y... y... y...
Look out for yourself!" Emerald and Mostima stops singing as Mercury continues and does the rap section. Mostima was off to steal more while Emerald does the same.
"Look, okay I'm hoping that somebody pray for me
I'm praying that somebody hope for me
I'm staying where nobody 'posed to be
P-p-posted
Being a wreck of emotions
Ready to go whenever just let me know
The road is long so put the pedal into the floor
The enemy's on my trail, my energy unavailable
Imma tell 'em hasta luego
They wanna plot on my trot to the top, I've been outta shape, thinkin' out the box I'm an astronaut, I blasted off the planet rock To cause Catastrophe and it matters more because I had it not Had I thought about wreaking havoc on an opposition Kinda shockin' they wanted static with precision I'm automatic quarterback, I ain't talkin' sacking Pack it, pack it up, Iont panic, batter batter up Who the baddest, it don't matter, cause we at ya throat" Mercury finishes the rap part and Emerald and Mostima joined in for the last part of the song with their bags bigger than before.
"Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be
My enemy
Oh, the misery!
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be
My enemy" Mercury and Emerald stops singing to let Mostima finishes the song.
"They say pray it away, I swear, I'll never be a Saint, no way
My enemy
They say pray it away, I swear, I'll never be a Saint
Look out for yourself!" Mostima finishes the song as they disappeared into an alley. Time continues as many shrieks, screams, and cries of despair filled in the air that day.
Meanwhile in a warehouse
"Alright people! We have a few more dust stores to rob! Don't want to upset the boss lady!" Roman commanded the White Fang members. They all, much to their annoyance, agreed. The boss lady is a scary person. "Now leave me be! I... have some planning to do." He said and they listened to his orders. As Roman began to plan, he felt as if someone is watching him. He then shrugged it off and continues the heist plan. That feeling returned and he decided to call out. "Neo is that you watching me? If so, knock it off! It's creepy!" He said.
"I'm afraid not." A voice said. Roman instantly know that this isn't Neo and turned around to face whoever it is. As he turned around he saw an arrow coming at him. He managed to dodge to the right, unfortunately the arrow hit him on the shoulder. He grunts at the pain and decided to run away, but another arrow was shot at his leg, making him fall down. Roman tries to crawl, but he was unable to do so because of the pain. "Sorry, my boss's orders." That same voice said. Turns out that voice belong to Faust, who has the ability to turn invisible along with his surroundings. He then shoot an arrow at Roman's head, killing him. Then a ringtone can be heard.
Never gonna give you up! Never gonna let you do-
"Yes?... Change of plans?... so I don't kill Neo now?... Cinder too?... What about Roman?... Yes I already killed him... ... ... Oooh my bad... You know a guy better than him? Cool... Alright see you." Faust said over the scroll as he then hanged up the call. "Sorry man." He said as he then turned invisible and retreated.
The door open to reveal a young girl with pink and brown hair and pink and brown eyes wearing a white button up long sleeved shirt, tight jeans(?), and high heels. She carries around an umbrella. This is Neopolitan. She looked down and saw Roman dead on the ground. Her eyes widen at the sight with her mouth slightly open. She dropped her umbrella and proceed to walk slowly forward to Roman. She kneeled down near his body, then she hold his hand, and began to tear up. She grip with harder his cold hand and began to breakdown. Inside her heart, she began to feel anger and determination to find the one who killed him.
If only Faust received the call earlier.
Meanwhile
"One more... and done!" MARK said as he bitten the last person in the village. That last villager then began to rise and became one of MARK's undead army. "Alright this should be enough to invade an unofficial kingdom." He muttered as he looked at the massive army of undead, some armed, while some aren't. "EVERYONE! TONIGHT WE HAD A FEAST! TOMORROW! WE WILL HAVE AN ALL! DAY! BUFFET!" He shouted to his army. "ONWARD MY ARMY! TO MENEGARIE!" He said as he laughed evilly with the army marched sout east. "Mark! I will kill you! And everyone you loved! Just like you did to me!" He said.
