(Special note to Gabe2000... I have taken the seeds of the pineapple you'd sent to me and planted a army of genetically modified pineapples, with porcupine DNA! And it's become sentient, I'm also still taking out the pricks out of my right hand. It was awesome! it just fired it out like a gun! This isn't relevant to absolutely anything, it was something I missed. Totally not something to be noted.)

(T-L-G)

This group of mine is now 7 strong. Adam, a thought to be deceased and formerly aggressive leader, Asoar and Cyrin, farmer sisters, both resourceful one and the younger a historian. Jaune, The Blood Knight, Adolpha, the she-wolf who consumed my flesh and became the first Grimm creature and now Sky, a member of this New White Fang and I, a Grimm imprisoned in a mortal vessel. "Think those wolves chewed the belts of those bandits?" Adam asks besides me.

It's a very intriguing question for him to ask, "Why?"

"They may have some useful things we can sell to shopkeepers and weapons smith."

"Adolopha has access to all our thoughts and most likely gain some knowledge about us." I answer. Have you ordered your pack as Adam questioned?

During the midst of the fight, I called for all the wolves to kill and snatch anything that would help your pack, Hunter Ares. They will shadow us with the pelts for now.

Thanks for thinking forward Adolpha.

You are welcome, Bull Red. I will continue to shadow with the pack.

I sense worry light from Asoar, she has her arms in her circle. Why is that? The danger is gone. My vessel feels a knock to my shoulder, turning around to Adam, "Talk to her."

"About what?"

"Maybe not including her into your plan to use her and send her off as a object? She looks pretty pissed." Successful as it was, Venators still elude my own education of them. Such complex standings for petty reasons. Might as well attempt to.

Taking a grasp of air, I look back to Red and subsequently, Cyrin who makes a fist with their opposable thumbs up. I don't understand what was means. "Oi, freak." Hmm? "Stay in the back." Looking to my right, Sky has bellowing fire around his Aura. It's very tempting to just... SNUFF THE LIFEFORCE OF THE UNGRATFUL! What the? Was that my... Not important right now.

"Is there a reason I have to, Sky?" With curiosity, considering he has treated fair hours ago.

"After the stunt you pulled at Dove, I'm not taking any chances."

"Is it because I am Grimm?"

"No, it's because you're a cute puppy." What? Cute puppy? Is that really a good analogy? "Of course it's because you're Grimm. You freaks are supposed to be extinct. Even the sea is cleared of Grimm, courtesy of Atlas Military." Hmm, he was a Huntsman so his words are understandable.

"Indeed it should've, but for some cursed logic, I am stuck as one of you."

"No you're not. You're just a filty Faun..." He stops himself, as if he just realized something. "...Grimm." He looks down, as his Aura is shadowed by a pale yellow.

"Whatever I am, you think how you like. Being cursed by the Gods to live like you is already shameful."

"Oh, you're religious too." He says with prejudice. "Ironic."

I move past him, walking right behind Asoar and Jaune. They sound like they are discussing about our previous encounter. "Look, it happened. Those guys were scum and Ares probably just sensed their emotions or something like that. You can call it a emotional improvising at best."

"So what's the worst to call it then, Jaune?" Asoar asks.

"Manipulative degradation of you as a distraction." Her Aura falters hearing that. He is not helping. I need to step in, she will continue to sense like this. Putting a hand on his white shoulder, he looks back at me. "Speak of the devil. Well, Grimm really. Stage is all yours." He slows down, coming behind me. "I'll have a chat with our guest."

I must say, in my life as a monster... I have never, ever felt so much leaving. "I suppose you're still thinking about... What did he call it? Degrading?"

"Manipulative degrading of oneself as a distraction."

"Right. You should stop thinking about it."

"Why should I? What you did was a act I won't forget"

"I may harm you not out of my will." I justify. She doesn't feel calm but it is being overwritten by another. Hopefully something better then now... Hopefully? Why did I thought of that? It is a pure word and I am not. To my vision and assumingly the others, I see houses' rooftops angled. "Town is up ahead."

(New White Fang Facility, Atlas Branch)

In one of the research labs that NWF have established, Flynt goes to oversee the research projects to a observation room with the head scientist overwatching one of their projects, Ciel Soleil. "Welcome back, Marshal General." Ciel greets.

"Sup, CS. How's your day?"

"Moderately well. Jogged for 15.2 minutes before coming here." She checks her watch and her face falls suddenly.

"You feeling down?"

"I used to check time for a friend. She was difficult to manage but it was my responsibility."

"Shame. What was she like?"

"She was abysmal to handle. Runs off whenever she wants but... She was my responsibility. And then the Fall of Beacon happened. Never realized she was a android, I just thought she was just a special girl. You saw her during the Vytal Festival before the Fall of Beacon."

Flynt puts his hand on her shoulder and comforts her, "We all have things nobody can comprehend. Now, how is the project?"

She taps into her Scroll, bringing up a tab of vitals and a live camera, "Subject Wojtek is growing well. Expected time of the subject to fully grow is 4 months and 24 days."

"Not for another additional 12 days after fully grown." Subject Wojtek growls inside its vat as it looks directly at Flynt through the one way glass.

"Can it... Can it see us? Through the glass?" He asks.

She looks at her watch before going to the Scroll, "Not certain. But with the multiple cloning of components and simulations, it may be using its unique vision of sensing Aura."

"And what about the strange blackwater we'd found during the Grimm Extinction? Is it what we'd thought it should be?"

Ciel activates something on her Scroll. A piece of wall next to them opens, revealing a pint of black bubbling liquid, "The single pint you'd brought 5 years ago is exceptionally impossible. For that single sample contains is estimated to have over 5 million unknown and extinct species."

"That sounds like a lot." His visor pops up a alarm, "Dang. Time for the speech. We'll talk more."

"Speech?"

"Yeah, better get going, this was pre-planned by Blake a while of months back."

(Town Road)

Why am I now beginning to question Adolpha's form? Why is it so familiar? The coloration is like a Grimm but the general appearance... I can't place anything on it. Shouldn't be important to me now, I have to make sure my kind prosper again. Perhaps I should try poisoning their water supply with my blood. But I have make sure Asoar and Cyrin don't consume it... What am I becoming? "Cyrin, do you know what this town is called?"

"This place is pretty uncommon to find in Mistral since this was a former Vacuo outpost couple hundred years ago. The local Mistralie who settled here kept the original name, Moriah."

Mowriyah? The word for sacrifice of the Gods? "How is it spelt?"

Looking right at me, she has a expression of confusion and curiosity. "Uh, M-O-R-I-A-H. Why?" Strange, why is that here and bastardized? But I suppose it's... fitting. "So, what do we here, Boss? That's you, Ares, BTW."

"Hmm?" Looking behind me, all of their eyes converge on me, including Sky's. Might as well task them. "Cyrin, Jaune, find us somewhere to shelter. Asoar, Adam, find out if anyone knows about me. I will go with Sky to contact his pack, the New White Fang."

I see Cyrin flailing her arms out, "So I'm stuck with Murderous Blood Knight here?"

"We all have a role. After Sky and I are finished, we'll converge back to the shelter Cyrin and Jaune presumingly finds." My head turns to the blue haired Venator, I am getting used to their customs. "Sky, I trust you to make the decision of my existence." His Aura changed to a shifting red and yellow. What was that one again? "Let's get to it. Break off." Soon after, everyone separates to their respective groups.

"So, Grimm. You're really trusting me with your entire existence of Grimm being known to all of the NWF and probably, Remnant?" Sky asks me.

"If you want your dead prejudice to control your rationality, then do so. I will not trampled over it."

"Sure." He takes out a small object and it opens to a transparent glass with symbols on it. It's very... intriguing. How does it work? "What are you looking at?"

"My kind have always wondered what amazing devices you Venators have. Quite innovative. The only innovative thing I'd seen."

"And you are our superior overlord, is that it?" He says. Strange wordings.

"No, I am neither your superior or inferior."

"Whatever." He puts the object to his ear, "Now shut it, I'm calling the NWF Headquarters."

(NWF Camp Beta, Vacuo Branch)

Inside of one of the many camps built by the NWF, Brawnz is top a podium with several mics, informing the loud and hate-filled crowds. His old teammates, May and Nolan appear beside him, in suits and scarves in their colors with the NWF sigil on the ends. May still wears her old beanie while Nolan now wears his pink sunglasses. Both of them have a golden ring to hold varying lengths of their hairs.

"Citizens of Vacuo, can't you see that we are also victims of these attacks? These insurrections are not established operations of the NWF. For 5 years, we've tried and tried our hardest to fend them off. But this attack have dwindled our morale severely, their casualty number are little while ours... Ours is not faring well. Time and time again, the Reds are a threat that poses a threat to our goals. And they might be one that'll stay for a long time. This fight will never be resolve, unless we have volunteers to repel the Red threat."

(Outside NWF HQ, Mistral Branch)

Ilia stands grounded with the crowd instead of being raised with Neptune standing right beside her along with NWF Security from the Menagerie Branch, talking to the indifferent and mixed crowds. "These delusional Faunus are following a outdated and outmoded ideal, one that shouldn't exist now. They believe in enslaving the human race and in their self-righteous mind, any Faunus that are deemed 'traitors'. Inside of the NWF are scared and frightened members but we keep fighting because we want to settle this petty dispute down. But the Reds are stopping that progress because they believe a dead Faunus' word. Adam was a unstable Faunus, honestly, I don't know how he'd stayed in power but lucky for all of us, it was short lived."

(Atlas)

Standing in front of the crowd, Flynt leans on a podium with multiple mics from numerous news network, "My fellow people! Hundreds of years ago, our city and our ancestors travelled north to be protected from the Grimm. It worked but at the cost of the climate turning against us, their oil reserves were running out, until they found best thing. Dust! Our ancestors created the innovative source of the world. But enough about our city if we can't defend it from the monsters that plague the people of Remnant. The Reds are a threat that must be dealt with, and it can be done. And these Reds, they threaten our main economical standing. I know that a lot of us use Dust in our day to day lives now. What would happen to our beautiful city when its Dust generators run out?"

(Main Square, Vale)

A large stage is set up by the NWF, Blake stands at a podium with Sun standing besides her. He still has his necklace, shirtless and only a jacket but now it has a half-cape with the NWF symbol on it. He wears blue formal pants, still having his chain and light brown riding boots. He has a Grimm Mask, heavily customized to his preference, having a gold tint and a yellow metal band wrapped around his head.

In the crowd, Ruby appears in the back, cloaked and hooded while Yang and Yatsu are next to one of the VPD cruiser along with other officers in front and behind a white limo with a balding man standing at the backseat. The crowd consist of normal-dressed civilians of Humans and Faunus and some NWF Security from the Menagerie Branch.

"For 5 years, the NWF have these goals in line: To approve our relationship with Humanity and creating a symbiotic bond with the Schnee Dust Company. Which the current head has agreed to appear. Please welcome Weiss Schnee." On cue, the man goes to open the door but Weiss instead does it, revealing herself in a white dress and a off-centered bun. The crowd claps at her honor as she walks up to the stage. Blake moves away for Weiss to take the podium.

Weiss takes a breath before starting, "A lot of you are probably wondering: Why am I here instead at Atlas? Well, I'm actually here for a personal reason for someone who needs some help." She peers down to the crowd, searching for Ruby. "But, the time of informing the public is near. The crime rate of Remnant has increased over the years, as our cities become more with Vacuo taking the brunt with the capital slowly becoming a criminal underworld from the NWF. But we can't let that waver our resolve, for they only-"

One of the crowd member, a Faunus in a large overcoat gets in front of the guards' faces and crowd, "Exitus Acta Probat!" He unbuttons his coat, revealing Fire-Dust wired to a bomb. A countdown from 4 seconds starts.

"Bomber!" Three NWF guards pile on the suicidal man to prevent the explosion to spread. Several members of the crowd, all Faunus so far takes out their masks and starts killing several crowd members. Yang and her section of policemen starts charging into the fray, concussing any Reds. "Make sure they stay down! Reds aren't-" The bomb pile explodes next to Yang. Her left ear rings loudly and she collapses onto the ground, grasping it. Yatsu gets her back up, patting her shoulder before gripping his sword by the handle and on the blade to chop down a Red.

"Keep your stance." He says, running off to grab a Red by his head, slamming it down to the ground, shattering his skull and the concrete.

Sun and Blake goes to get off the stage with some escorts but a Red comes through and kills the escort "Traitor!" The female Red shouts to Blake, running to her with a dagger in hand. Yang starts to go to her but Blake shoots the incoming Red with Broken Shroud, her reforged weapon, killing her. "Sun, protect as many people as you can. I'm going to get Weiss to her limo, considering she'd hung Myrtenaster."

"Got it." He jumps off the stage, twirling his Gun-chucks and getting some NWF Security with him. "Hey guys, make sure the people get out of here in one piece. Kill any Red and watch out for some, they may have Dust-bombs strapped on their chests." He takes out three Reds coming to his right. Amidst the chaos, the crowd scatters to the winds, trying to survive, even trampling on one another. Ruby is not one of them, making her way to Weiss.

"Weiss!" She shouts in the crowd, getting the attention of a Red. They look to the lost innocence and charges at her. The Red takes out her dagger plunges down on her. Ruby stops them by grabbing their wrist. Her strength isn't enough as the Red continues to push down. "Shit." She goes into her cloak and takes out a dagger, stabbing the Red around to her upper spine, twisting it. The dagger coming at her stops right at the edge of her eye. She feels her left hand starts to assumes a gun is in its hand. "No, no, no! This is not a time for G-Shock now, there is a actual threat."

Suddenly, a gripping hand takes her shoulder, twirling her to the person, "Ruby!"

"Yang! There you are! I was going to-"

"You need to get out of here! It's not safe here!" She takes Ruby's wrist and tries to drag her out with her prosthetic limb. The police sister looks back to her, "I don't want you to-" But finds that she had removed the limb and runs off to the stage. "Ruby!" She goes to run to her but hears a revving noise, snapping back to guard herself from a chainsaw.

The chainsaw user pushes down on Yang but she doesn't budge and pushes them back. She sees the chainsaw user is male, in a white sleeveless hoodie with a red line, showing his multiple scars of varying causes, black combat pants complete with combat boots, grey fingerless gloves and a tattoo design on his left arm. What's distinctive is his bone white face-covering mask, cracked. Red streams down from the large eye-silts converging to the chin, yellow pops on the cheeks and his black eyes are visible.

"Get out of the way, I'm looking for the Schnee." He says, revving up his chainsaw to make a fierce roar.

The former Huntress kneels to grab her dropped arm and twist it back on. "Dream on, big guy."

"Very well. You'll do anyways."

(Moriah)

Something has happened, his Aura presence has dulled. "Sky. What is wrong?"

"There's no on the line." He quickly moves it to the front of himself and the tapping, the tapping. He stops it and brings it back to his ear. "Hello!? This is Lotus White, anyone on the reserved channels, over!"

"Oh thank the gods! This is Lotus Ling Dao, Lotus White, do not return to HQ!"

He taps something again and speaks to it from afar, "Why, what's happening! Why wasn't anyone answering the main comms!"

"There is a attack from the Reds, HQ is compromised! I repeat, HQ is compromised!"

He looks agitated by the speaker, "This isn't the first time this happened, Lotus Ling Dao. We'll come back from-"

"Not on a world-wide scale! All NWF conferences have been targeted! We've lost contact with Vacuo and Atlas CCT first, most likely due to the leaders being humans. Shit!"

"Lotus Ling Dao, are you still there, over!"

"Reds just blew a explosive up, probably one of themselves! Lotus White, attempt to make contact with NWF outposts, I repeat-AaHhhhh!"

"Lotus Ling Dao! Come in! Lotus Ling Dao! Shit."

"What has conspired, Sky?" I ask. That speaker scream, sounded as if she had started to perish. "Were you able to contact your NWF?"

He pockets the object and looks at me. His eyes tell that, he has lost hope. "I'm not sure if there is a NWF in Mistral."

(Author's Note)

Woo, I honestly did not plan the speech thing, so sorry if it's clunky. To the other point, Mowriyah is a word from the Bible, where Abraham took Issac. Ares sees the word for sacrifice. It also has alternative spelling which the characters in RWBY use. Ares will pronounce and spell words like how most of us do like Wojtek and the phrase that one Red Bomber said, don't know if it's the correct spelling. I went through three translators to check.

Sorry this took 3 months.
