((That's all! Story START!))
"Before we begin. I wish to bring in some more guests for this little party… well not of my own volition of course but I will treat them as I have you all. As guests and at the same time, that also means that you cannot harm them or they harm you in return." Azrael says as he ignores the scathing glare from Cinder. He didn't care. He had followed his masters words to the letter.
"I wonder who they'll be" Ruby says curiously
(-Branwen Tribe-)
Raven was smiling at what her Tribe had brought from their latest mission out. "Good work, go put it away" She says with a hum as Vernal walks up beside her.
"What now?" Vernal asks her leader who was humming in thought.
"Move on to the-" Before she could begin, she dodged multiple shuriken. "Dammit we left one alive?" She asks drawing her sword and looking around. One by one around her however, her tribesman fell from shuriken or arrowstrikes around her.
Vernal manages to dodge her own strike sent her way. "Come on out so we can kill you!" she yells out as she pulls her weapons to the ready.
The first to jump from the trees, was a Warframe. Wukong, wielding a golden staff as he looks at her. And in quick succession, three more jump around them, Limbo, Valkyr and Equinox surrounding them.
"Dammit" Raven says with a snarl as she pulls her sword from hip, there was only four of them, and she could probably take them one by one but the Tenno were smarter then that as they all jump at Raven and Vernal.
She managed to block Wukongs Bo before Valkyr grabs the blade and pries it free from her grasp before her hand crashed into her face and sent her flying backward.
Vernal wasn't fairing much better as she tried to hold off Limbo and Equinox.
It wasn't long before were both thrown to the floor. They looked to eachther and nod as they grab both of them, who were struggling against their captors.
(-Salem's HQ-)
Salem sat at her throne as she hums in thought. She had sent every last one of her pawns on missions, and currently she sat alone. It was nice to enjoy the quiet as she looks out at the sky.
"Strange how a simple woman in love has fallen so far" a near angelic voice spoke through the halls. She stood, surprised that someone found her. She wore golden and red armor, a halo over her head as well as short muted yellow hair. "My name… is Gabriel, it is a pleasure to meet you Salem" She says taking steps towards her.
"Not many people would say that Gabriel. Why are you here…?" She asks standing to meet the clearly holy woman.
"Do you remember the Brothers…?" Gabriel asks her as she showed no fear towards the woman as she walks ever closer to her.
"How can I forget those two who cursed me." She scowls as she was ready to wipe this woman out with her magic.
"How childish those two are… they do not deserve the titles of deities. Regardless… I have seen your fall with Ozma…" She began before she was inturupted by Salem.
"That name means nothing to me now!" She yells out.
"If it means nothing. Then why get angered? My lord Raphael has Ozpin… Ozma… in his domain. We have manipulated him into believing we will help him defeat you, as he manipulates those around him. But if he does not wish to see that it is the… Brothers that are the true enemies, then… well I do not know. My lord has not explained this far"
"And what are you doing with him…?" She says stopping her rage for just a moment.
"We, as well as his students are watching the Multiverse. In hopes of preparing them for the Brothers. Despite what Ozpin believes. I do not enjoy lying as an Angelic being, but Raphael deems it necessary so I follow his orders." Gabriel smiles.
"And what do you want from me?" Salem finally asks.
"Come… watch the Multiverse with us" Gabriel says with a small smile.
"…Very well" Salem agrees, following the Angel just behind.
(-White Fang HQ-)
Sienna Khan was currently walking through the halls of her operation. She was the current leader of the White Fang, and her authority shows with how each white fang member fears and respects her. She hums in thought as she plans out her next course of action, the clacking of her heels was heard as she made her way to the throne room.
It was relatively quiet thankfully as she opens the doors and spots something that makes her pause. A human, wielding a long spear, standing infront of her throne, but what made her pause was what was around her waist. They looked like cannons. Parts of it even opening like mouths.
"Who are you and what do you want?" Sienna asks as the woman who remained emotionless as she steps forward.
"Guten Tag, I am KMS Bismarck" She says with a hum, keeping her spear close to hand. "And I have come to make you an offer" She says stopping infront of the Fang leader who stood a good head taller then the woman.
"And what would that be human?" Sienna asks standoffishly as she reaches for her chains on her waist, getting ready to fight.
"My beloved wishes to show you… The Multiverse… im sure you know what it is Miss Khan?" Bismarck asks her which she receives a nod at this.
"Infinite worlds of infinite possibilities. Im familiar with the concept" Khan says not exactly believing her. "As such if your beloved is offering… why have you come armed?" Sienna asks as she palms her weapon, ready to fight back.
"I come armed in case im attacked miss Khan, much like your armed now. Please let me escort you to the viewing area" She says still getting a look from Sienna, who wanted nothing more then to fight back and say no and the like. But her instincts told her otherwise, and she hated that. Her instincts never failed her.
"Very well… lets go" She says with a small growl as Bismarck nods and turns on her heels and led her to a portal that was close by.
(-The Repository-)
The first to walk out of the portal was the four warframes, carrying Raven and Vernal, who were still struggling against their restraints as they were unceremoniously thrown to the floor without a care in the world.
"Ah Raven Branwen and Vernal. What a displeasure to see you" Azrael says as he pulls his sword and once more cuts her from her bindings. He turned to see Yang and Qrow looking surprised at this as he looks down at the two from the Branwen tribe.
"You fight anyone here, and I will show you how insignificant you are. I will explain everything once everyone is here" Azrael explains getting a glare from Raven as the four Warframes took station around them all, acting as guard.
It wasn't long before Sienna and Bismarck came through as well. "Go ahead and pick your seat miss Khan, and please, no fighting, I would rather not anger my beloved" She says, getting a nod from Sienna, taking notice of how two Schnees were here but says nothing for now as she has a seat. She of course notices Adams former partner, but again, says nothing, already being able to tell that she would start a fight she cannot win.
It wasn't long before the last two people walk through, Gabriel, a small smile on her face, and just behind her was Salem, who strode through silently.
"S-Salem! You brought her here?!" Qrow asks standing, grabbing his weapon.
"Of course we did Qrow Branwen. Of course it was not my decision to make." Azrael says as he watches the others of the inner circle get their weapons ready, as Azrael sighs, finally having enough and waves his hands as the weapons disappear. "Enough. Ozpin, Everyone I know we have told you that our plan was to help you defeat Salem. But that couldn't be further from the truth, we wish to kill the brothers" Azrael explains as Ozpins eyes widened.
"You cant! The last time someone challenged them-"
"They are CHILDREN WEILDING POWER THEY HAVE NO BUISNESS USING" Azrael roars at Ozpin in return. "I returned the maidens power to you In hopes we can kill the brothers. I am sure more will be revealed in time, besides… Need I remind you, who Ran Ozma?"
"I do not need to be reminded of-" He began before once more intturupted by Azrael.
"Then you have no business to speak. I like you Ozma, doing what he feels is best to protect the world but the way you do it leaves a lot to be desired, which is why my lord has finally stepped in." Azrael says as his six black wings was spread as he weilds his staff.
"If hes so powerful why not go kill him yourselves?" Ironwood asks, clenching his fist at the fact that his revolver was gone.
"Because my lord cannot provoke the avatars of-"
"Brother! We cannot reveal that to them" She says as he stops and nods, retracting his wings, his anger now gone as he sighs.
"We will discuss this later professor. Regardless. Let us all have a seat and get prepared for this universe. I myself wont be here but miss Bismarck here will be your permanent host, at least until the intermission. Now if you would all find your seats, sit down, shut up and enjoy, maybe we could get this going" He says agitated now as he walks over to the projecter and lays a book atop it before turning on his heels and walking out, leaving Bismarck and Gabriel in the room with them.
Honkai Impact 3rd – Reburn
The shot opens up with a city, in the middle of the day. Bright and blue. But something was off about the city. Unlike the usual bustle of a metropolis… this city was quiet besides the sound of the wind and silence that permeated the air. The city had long been abandoned or evacuated.
"Woah whats going on in the city?" Yang asks as she sees how everything is so abandoned and left alone.
"Evacuation maybe?" Ruby asks rubbing her head in thought as she looks on, curious as well.
"I have a feeling it cant be good" Ironwood says with a hum.
"Agreed…" Qrow says, always having a sixth sense as he watches on.
The Train stations were closed even, the trains dead with no passengers aboard, the small alarms going off around it.
There was one person however that stood within the train station. Her name was Kiana. She had long white hair with piercing blue eyes. Her finger was currently dancing across her phone.
"The only person in the city, either shes very strong or very brave" Ozpin says with a hum, his eyes occasionally wandering to a Salem ever so often but she paid him no mind. Not yet.
"Or very stupid" Commented Raven getting an eyeroll from Bismarck as she watches on with the rest of the group.
"…id tap that" Yang murmurs out as Blake, who blushes lightly, says nothing, reminded of one of her books.
"I must follow through with this"
"Don't be so stubborn."
"But I Refuse" She spoke in both message form and in plain speech as she breaks a piece of the pocky stick she was currently munching on. She hums as she looks out at the empty city, her mind going a hundred miles an hour before he heard another ping from her phone. She looks down at it.
"I will… bring you back by force if I have to!"
"Seems like shes running from something?" Jaune says with a raised eyebrow.
"More like shes chasing something…" Pyrrha says as Blake looks down, almost reminded of herself.
"Well have to watch and find out" Ren says tapping his fingrs on his seat.
Kiana mumbles something before smiling, as the wind began to pick up. She smiles as a giant mech appeared from thin air next to the train station.
"Woah! More Giant robots!" Nora says with a grin as she watches.
"Why is it after her though is a good question." Glynda says as she watches on.
Kiana smiles at this, and quickly pressed a button on her thigh, and then the world around her turned purple as time slowed to a crawl, she jumping upward and out of the way of the hand.
"Woah time slow, what a neat ability" Pyrrha says curious as she watches as Kiana jumps out of the way of the massive hand skillfully.
Cinder however was interested in this ability, wondering if she could have it herself or if she could replicate it.
"if all shes going to do is dodge-" Raven says with a huff before Qrow threw a piece of popcorn at her to shut her up, whom she promptly glares at.
Kiana lands outside of the hands grasp, dusting herself off before catching the sight of the can that was spilling its content, smiling, she grabs the can and scoops it up, before gulping it all down and tossing it into the trash can.
Yang snickers as she watches Kiana drink of all things instead of run. Itd be something she would do.
Kiana ran off as time came back to normal speed, the robots hand crashing into the train station, throwing up dust and blowing out all of the windows. Seeing he didn't catch his target, he looks around for a moment to see Kiana running away.
"Smart choice. Hes much larger then her and can make bigger strides" Glynda says with a hum as she watches on with interest.
"The question is can she outrun a robot if that size?" ironwood says with a hum.
"Run for it Kiana!" Ruby shouts at the screen getting an eyeroll from Weiss, normally she would say how she cant hear her but at the moment she doubted Ruby cared.
Like a child, she stuck her tongue out at the mech and waves her fingers at it before picking up speed to get away.
"So immature" Sienna says with a small snerk. She wasn't chastising, she had plenty of immature in her ranks. It was always so amusing to watch.
"meh that's the fun sometimes" Roman says with a smirk as he kicked his feet up and watches on.
"No wonder you always get caught" Mercury says with a grin as Roman rolls his eyes.
The machines eyes turn a dark red before digging his feet into the ground and running after her, catching up with her in just a few strides, jumping over her and landing in the train station, crushing it under him.
"Woah! Hes quick!" Jaune says surprised at how quick the mech jumped infront of Kiana.
"I was not expecting something that big to be so quick!" Pyrrha says as she leans forward to watch. Some of them were now legimatly worried for Kiana now.
"Dammit now she has to fight it…" Ironwood says, worried for Kiana but watching the robot, how it moves for ideas for his own military.
Kiana had all but stopped running before she was thrown up in the air as she clung to a piece of debris.
Wanting to kill her, he picks up a train car and rears back to throw it.
Kiana, not wasting any time, began to transform as her eyes changed color from a bright blue to a glowing orange, her boots changing as well.
"Nice to see she wont run from a fight" Raven says as she watches on.
"I wonder what her abilities are" Salem says watching on, curiously as her hands were n her lap.
"Well have to watch and see" Cinder says, keeping an emotionless face around her leader.
Eventually the robot threw it at her. It flying straight and true through the air.
Kiana tossed off her coat, before jumping towards the car, as her body continued to shift, first her thighs gaining her armor, then her changing into combat shorts. She landed inside the train car moments later as she ran along it. As she ran along it, her chest plate changes, then, as she grabs one of the poles, her gloves change.
"Go!" Ruby asks with starstruck eyes, though she wondered if her weapon would manifest two or would she fight the big robot head on.
"I wonder what shell do against the robot" Ren says with a hum.
"Semblance?" Nora asks her closest friend who got a small shrug.
She finally leaps free from the train and high into the air.
Seeing that she survived, the robot pulls his sword off his back, and once more, rears it back before jabbing it at her. Ready for it, she twists to the side before jumping atop the blade and ran along it. Finally, her headpiece came in, looking like ears as she continued to run.
"Woah nice moves" Emerald says watching how nimble Kiana was.
"Shes really cool" Ruby says with stars in her eyes. This causes Yang to snicker and rub her head gently.
"She must be really skilled to pull off such a move like that" Ozpin says sipping his coffee.
She jumps over the wrist, and along the arm as she looks at him. The Mech raises his remaining hand, and begins to bring it down atop his arm but she manages to dodge it as she was now up in the air.
A emblem began to glow on her chest as six energy dots appears on her back. Eventually she opens her body as energy exploded from the dots and began to skewer the mech, as well as the city behind him.
"Cool!" Nora says standing and throwing her hands up.
"Fascinating…" Winter says watching on with a hum.
"Shes doing more damage to the city then actually killing the machine" Sienna says with a small snerk.
"Well it is abandoned so theres no worry for casualties. Besides the Robot would have kept destroying more of the city if she continued to run" Glynda says with a hum.
As the dust settles, she was standing atop the chest piece, hand pointed to the head before she stopped and touches the mech gently. Softly.
"Why is she doing that? Didn't he just try to kill her…?" Yang says curiously as she watches on.
"I don't know… its strange" Weiss says, also curious about that.
"Regardless, that was a cool little sequence. Though unlike the transformers ones, we didn't get to see any of us." Blake says.
"And you wont, most of these will have you in them in some form of capacity, but there will always be exceptions to the rule so… but anyway this snippet was to get you introduced to Kiana, who will be a major player in the next two scenes" Gabriel says with a hum as she opens the book and turns a few pages to get the next scene started.
They all turned back to the screen to continue to watch, absolutely interested in how this will turn out.
Honkai Impact 3-Will of Herrscher
The scene opens up with Herrscher holding up a woman with one hand at her throat glaring at her. Mei, the woman in and, could see the sun before her eyes looked at her once former friend of Kiana as her hand reached out to her.
"k-kia-na" She was gasping out before her hand touches her cheek. "W-Wake… up…"
"Wait? That's Kiana? What the hell happened to her?" Qrow asks as he takes a long sip of her flask.
"She changed from this… fun loving mischievous girl to… cold and heartless" Glynda says, saddened to see this, sure she may not get along with her as a student but she would be fun to eep around.
"You say that as if it's a bad thing? It makes her stronger for it" Raven rolls her eyes. Gabriel's fingers were twitching at this, wanting nothing more then to say something to Raven. Bismarck shook her head, her spear In her lap.
This causes Kianas eyes to go back to blue as she gasps, tears forming as she drops Mei to the floor, Kiana gasping as she clutched her head.
"Shes fighting back! Don't give in Kiana!" Ruby says standing and watching only to be pulled back into her seat by Weiss.
"C'mon kid… I know you can do it" Roman says quietly, liking the kid because she was a lot like Neo, sure she spoke but she was mischievous.
"Whats happened to her Miss Gabriel?" Winter asks as as Gabriel looks on for a moment before looking at Winter to respond.
"I will explain after all is said and done… there is a lot to unpack here and I do not wish to pause the video to explain." She explains.
Mei lands to the floor with a cough as she grasps her neck lightly, recovering from what was holding her off the floor.
Kiana continued to thrash on her feet clutching her head as Mei reaches out to her, before Herrscher began to laugh.
"Oh no…" Yang says watching worried for Kiana.
The orbs floating above her back began to spin faster before converging, turning into something that resembles an eye. It lets out an electric shock before it opens a black purple portal.
"What… what is this" Mei asks watching as something struggles to free itself, it white and pink in color. Finally freeing itself, he rears his hand back with a spear like object and jams it at Mei, who manages to dodge just in time. Mei was thrown back as she catches sight of Kiana who was recovering from what had happened earlier. She continued to roll for a bit longer before finaly stopping.
"Get out of there while you can dammit!" Blake yells at Mei, clutching her seat, worried what this new Kiana would do to her.
"She can win… I know she can…" Ruby says hopefully but the sad look of Gabriel told otherwise as they all watch with baited breath.
Mei let out a few coughs as the mech from earlier was standing over her, before attempting to squash her, but the foot was somehow caught in mid air. That's when it appeared, another mech, coming out of camouflage, was holding back the white mech from killing mei. Using its arms, he snaps the white mechs spear off before holding it in place as two missiles struck it, killing it.
"Someone came to her rescue…" Pyrrha says with a small smile.
"Makes you wonder if they could even do anything to Kiana…" Ren says with a hum, tapping his fingers on his chair.
"Well have to wait and see…" Weiss responds to Ren.
Mei looks around with small gasp, more mechs began to appear from nowhere. "This is… anti-entropy?" She says as the mechs began to run past her to fight Herrscher.
Herrscher, unfazed, raises her hands before bringing them down, forming parts of her new battle attire. They weren't just for show however as they began to let out more electricity like energy, as they formed portals, kicking up dirt around her.
"Fascinating… I wonder what kind of energy shes calling upon…" Ozpin says as he sets his mug down, giving his attention to the woman that captured them.
"I'd rather not find out professor" Blake says watching.
"Im sure our host will tell us at the end" Salem says with a hum.
She, impassive, began to walk, but her heels, stopping in midair as if she was on a staircase.
Click. Clack. Click. Clack.
The sound of her heels reverberated through the area, almost unsettlingly so. Out of each of the portals, more white mechs appeared from them, as she continued to walk upwards, raising her hands as she did so. She then projects her hands forward as they leave the portal to attack the Anti-Entropy mechs.
"Whats so disturbing about this, is that white is the color of purity and holiness… and its being used to wreak havok" Ren says familiar with colors and their meanings.
"Agreed Mr. Lie… though in some kingdoms it could also mean death" Glynda says, too familiar with colors and their meanings.
"Regardless of the meaning, it looks like their evenly matched for now but if she keeps summoning mechs like that, then they'll quickly be overwhelmed" Ironwood says watching, taking any notese can at defeating this monster.
The Entropy mechs clash, as one holds an Anti-entropy mech before another comes to his aid, punching off the Entropy mech, before being met by another Entropy. Three of them even attempted to jump one but he punched the ground to send them scattering.
Herrscher, stood at the top, watching it all as her portals release even more and more mechs.
"God its almost unrelenting isn't it…?" Weiss says as Winter nods at her statement. What worrries her is that she had just awakened, meaning that probably her power isn't even at 100 percent.
"Makes you wonder who can stand up to a woman like this…" Qrow says taking another sip.
"I could of course…" Raven says with a hum, remaining impassive, getting a nod from Vernal.
"No you couldn't." Sienna says to the human. "She can summon these things all day all while your human. Eventually you will get tired and eventually you will slip up. Whether or not you want to believe it. Your Still Human." Sienna says getting a glare from the two branwen tribe members.
"Humans. Your existence was a mistake" She says as she watched the two forces clash and fight one another. "War. Cheating. Jealoussy. Greed." She says as she watches her own mechs finish off the front line robots before going after the next group. They were stopped by an energy shield held up by more mechs. "You once made me lose everything. But today. I will devour everything because I am the Houkai!" The Houkai, the white mechs began to peirce the shields with their spears.
"Ill explain more in further detail after this viewing, but keep in mind that Kiana has been experimented on and is the reincarnation of another person." Gabriel says getting some looks but watch on none the less, terrified for the silver haired girl.
"Cmon Kiana… I know you can do it" Ruby says with a small amount of hope in her mind that Kiana would break free.
"Humans are like that" Salem says with a small smrik on her face, all but given up on the human race as Ozpin looks at her for a few moments, almost feeling like hes failed her. Salem sees this look and scoffs before teturning back to the screen, hand at her lap as Cinder notices the exchange and smirks.
Not idle however, more Anti- Entropy mechs, began preperartions to fire as they locked down to the ground around them. They began to take aim at Herrscher, who stood calmly in the air. The artillery unites finally began to open fire, hoping to end the threat quickly as shot after shot made its way towards her.
"Their wasting no time" Ironwood says, noticing how quickly they all began to fire on the leader of the faction their fighting.
"Yeah well they are getting their asses handed to them Jimmy" Qrow says as he had put his flask down, watching almost worriedly. Hes seeing what this woman can do, and how much they could have gotten their asses kicked when she first retrieved them.
"Better to end a fight quickly without theatrics" Glynda says looking at her students.
She watched the shots come towards her for a solid few seconds before smiling. She rears her arm back before snapping her finger. A second later, portals began to open up, taking every last shot into it, before she smiles, holding an energy orb within her hand. She clenches it in her hand before portals began to open up behind the Anti-Entropy mechs.
"Oh no…" Yang says watching how not only had she stopped almost every last shot that was fired at her, but was about to redirect it at her. It terrified her somehat.
"Dammit…" Blake says quietly. She was wondering if there was any hope for Kiana now.
Then carnage reigned as shots that they had fired at Herrscher, rained upon them, destroying them with shot after shot. She watches on with an impassive look at the destruction as another one of her Houkai, a form of a dragon, flew by before landing on the floor. She hums as she floats down and stands infront of her dragon, as Mei watches, from a safe distance finally.
"Holy shit…" Jaune says quietly as he watched as the Mechs were absolutely decimated.
"They didn't stand a chance…" Winter says quietly as she had watched on.
"Shes so strong…" Vernal says quiently before they began to finally quiet down. It was Ozpin who turns too Gabriel.
"So… if we may ask miss Gabriel… what happened to Kiana to make her so… cold and distant? Homicidal?" Ozpin was the first to speak up
Gabriel hums as she grabs her spear and walks to the front of the theatre as she hums in thought. "There is a lot to unpack here but ill attempt to make it short and sweet for you to understand." Gabriel says as she rubs her chin. "You see, Kiana was a regular person but she was experimented on and spliced with the previous Herrscher DNA. This had caused Sirin to be able to reincarnate within Kiana and take over. The scientists had, in hopes to take control of Houkai, Void energy."
"But that didn't go to plan when she awoke because of the DNA now coursing through her veins" Cinder says with a hum, wondering if it was still worth it, especially with how she would lose herself to Sirin, the Herrscher that took control of Kiana. No. its still worth it. She would have much more willpower then that child.
"Regardless… this was a blow to Morale for the commander and the other Valkyries, but they soldiered on none the less in hopes of bringing back Kiana to her foremer self. And they had created a serum to administer" Gabriel says as she motions to the theatre once more before walking back over to the projector and turns a few pages before starting it up again.
"So they'll save her then?" Ruby asks hopefully.
"They can try" Qrow says, not wanting to crush his poor nieces hopes but at the same, also hoping that they could do it. They'll just have to watch and see.
Honkai Impact 3rd – Final Lesson
"Alarm: Unknown Heat signature rapidly closing from behind! Speed: 420 Klicks per hour! Optical system failure! Unable to aqquire target. Sloped deck hit by energy shell! Weve lost our spoilers! Target is 1000 meters away!... 700!... 300!"
Himeko, who had been staring at the Anti-Houkai vail for the longest time before the alarms went off around her as she closes her hand around it. "Is she coming?" she asks to herself as she looks up.
"Whos she…?" Pyrrha asks curiously as she watches on. Noting the vial that she held in her hands.
"That is the Valkyries Major and trainer. Himeko. Shes almost like a mother or Aunt to the other Valkyries" Gabriel explains as she watches on.
"Looks like shes not giving up…" Mercury says noting how they were under attack.
"They are the ones with the possibility of defeating her. Id say she has no reason not to give up" Commented Sienna as she crosses her arms and watches on, wondering what these humans will do.
Outside however, the Houkai dragon Flew along the side of the ship as his wing impacted the shields before tearing through them, all while under fire from the ships cannons. He roared at the ship before flying at the ship and tearing off one of the cannons with his talons before flinging it through the bridge.
"Its Kianas Dragon" stated Glynda as she hums, watching the dragon move, destroying the gun and using it as a crude projectile.
"Where are the other Valkyries?" Comments Weiss.
"Their more then likely out on missions, with Kiana on the loose, they very likely have to limit as much damage as they possibly can." Ironwood comments getting a nod from some of the others. It made sense.
"Leaving Himeko to defend HQ" Roman says.
Himeko finally made it to the bridge, slipping the vail into her armor before the doors open up as she sees the cannon flying through the window. She smirks and holds her weapon ready as dust was kicked up around the bridge from the impact.
The cannon that was flung, was thrown once more and smacking the dragon straight on before a shadow was cast over him. It was Himeko, coming down and slamming her foot down onto the dragon, sending him into the ship with a hard thud. She lands at the head, as energy began to course through her blade. She raises the blade to bring down, but something surprised her, it was an energy burst as her blade collided with it.
"Yeah kick its ass Himeko!" Yang says with a grin, also feeling a sort of kinship with the red haired woman since she was the motherly type and fire haired woman. She had to all but raise Ruby it feels like sometimes.
"Finish it" Raven says before she too saw the energy, the blade colliding with it.
"That was weird…"
"I don't think that was a random occurrence" Comments Winter as she watches on.
When she opened her eyes, her blade in a defensive posture, she looked up. Relaxing her stance slightly. "What is this…?" she murmurs. She looks around and notices how she was on something that resembled a ship. It was then she heard a laugh, as she turns to face it as she sees God Kiana walking down on the air with the sound of her heels clacking with each step.
"Do you think you can escape?" She asks Himeko. Kiana had a bored look on her face as she looks at her former mentor.
"I don't think she plans to" Qrow says with a smirk as he takes another long sip of his flask.
"She doesn't know that though, shes just going to kill Himeko and be done with it" says Sienna with a hum.
"That just makes this more interesting" Comments Mercury with a smirk which causes Emerald to roll her eyes at her partner.
"Ive been waiting for you" she humphed with a smile, getting her blade ready as more energy courses through it.
"Confident" Cinder says with a hum, getting a nod from Salem.
"You can do it Himeko" Ruby says hoping that Kiana could be brought back. She was hoping that she could meet Kiana here in the Repository. Maybe if she asks Azrael she could come back with them.
Ironwood however was keeping notes on how this woman fought, for no other purpose then just incase he does have to fight her. This woman terrified him, she was much stronger then anything they had faced before.
"I hope your ready to meet your maker" Kiana says raising her hand which seems to grab Himeko and began to pull her towards Kiana at a frightening speed. Before she was stopped feet from her, who looked like she was punched in the gut. "Struggle all you want worm" Kiana says throwing her hand forward and sending Himeko that way as well. She moves her hand upwards that brought a block of purple metal from the ship below.
Everyone was watching with bated breath. Kiana was absolutely man handling Himeko without barely moving a muscle.
"Holy shit… shes destroying her" Emerald says quietly to herself as she watched Himeko being thrown left right and center with blocks crushing and turning to destroy the instructor.
"And shes showing no remorse at all for doing it… that's what worries me. Becsause shes no longer the Kiana that we, and I assume Himeko knows…" Ren says, his finger twitching on his seat.
Nora reaches over and takes his hand, not not only calm herself but him, knowing his mind was in turmoil.
Himeko hit it, creating a crater before two blocks seem to come from the side and enclose her with a slam. Kiana snaps her fingers as the blocks seem to segment and slide and shift with Himeko in the middle.
The four spears behind kiana seemed to shift and change into ribbon like structutres before flying towards Himeko, as the ribbons acted like swords and cut the blocks before another two, acted like spears and drove right through the block before Kiana brought her finger down and drove through it once more with much more force, sending the blocks and Himeko to the floor.
"She… should be dead by now…" Pyrrha says covering her mouth in shock at the absolute brutality that Kiana was showing to the much older woman.
"Theres no kill like overkill kid. Shes making sure shes dead" Qrow says quietly as he took another long sip of his flask, glad that hes able to keep this thing refilled throughout the entire experience, otherwise hed be more miserable then he already was.
"Have faith miss Nikos. Weve seen longer shots before, the best we can do is watch on and hope for the best and prepare for the worst" Ozpin says swirling his coffee mug. This woman was dangerous. He however, took notes on how she fought. She was Regal, keeping that demeanor and making as few moves as possible.
"Pathetic" Kiana says as she turned on her heels ad began to walk away.
"Don't ever turn your back to the enemy unless you confirm they are… out of commission" Ironwood said tactfully as he got a nod from Sienna and Ozpin. Having seen hunters get killed because they assumed they had finished their job before they were cut down.
As she walks away, a sword flew to her at high speeds from behind. Kiana was surprised as she turned, her ribbon catching it before turning to a portal and coming out the other side of her and slamming into one of the many floating boulders.
"Shes alive!" Ruby says with a grin and threw her hands up in glee. Weiss, smiling, grabs Rubys dress and pulls her back down onto the chair.
"Sit down you dolt" She says getting a small smile from Winter, glad to see that Weiss has made some good friends while at beacon.
"Shes strong, but is she strong enough to kill Kiana…?" Raven asks with a raised eyebrow at the determination that the red haired woman was showing.
Himeko stepped out of the crater with a ragged breath as she looks at Kiana. Pieces of her armor falling to the floor below, cracks along her armor and her hair down and messy, but she didn't care. "I guess your done attacking. Its my turn now… I hope you don't mind girl." Himeko says with a detrmained look on her face.
"Pheh.. who knew this woman had it in her" Vernal says getting a soft glare from Gabriel but otherwise stayed quiet as she watches on.
"Shes really pushing herself" Blake comments as she taps her fingers on the chair.
"Of course she is. I would do the same for my students" Glynda says pushing up her glasses, getting smiles from her students.
Mercury rolled his eyes and gaggd at what she said, getting a smack from emerald, not wanting to antagonize anyone into a fight.
Kiana palms her face as she laughs before stopping and looking at Kiana. "Die!" she says as portals began to surround Himeko. As spears began to fly towards her.
'Kiana, Everything would have changed once you woke up' As the sword that imbedded itself pried itself free, joining Himekos blade once more as energy charged the blade and took a heavy swing, destroying all the spears in one go.
"Such strength and power" Ozpin says with wide eyes as he watches Himeko Obsoletely decimate the spears that Kiana conjured.
"Its no wonder she was chosen to teach the other Valkyrie" Ironwood says.
However, RWBY wasn't focused on that, it was what Himeko had thought about Kiana, knowing that she not only lost a teacher but a close friend as well. And that hurts.
'The world will no longer be a pretty place, Life as you know it, will be replaced by something else. But… don't ever give up!' Energy continued to course through the blade.
Rwby and Jnpr smiles at this, glad that someone was there for Kiana, though the way she thought it, made it seem like she would no longer be around.
"You pathetic human insect!" before two more blocks of void attempt to crush Himeko before Kiana pulls her hand back like a bow and releases yet another energy block towards her and spears through the two previously mentioned void blocks.
Himeko, determined as ever, cut through the void blocks, and roars as she leaps towards Kiana.
"Go for it!" Nora yells with a grin.
"Don't give up!" Ruby says with a grin as they were both pulled back into their seats by their partners, but they all watched on as the woman pushed through with determination and sheer willpower alone.
"Miss Himeko is certainly someone who doesn't give up" Salem says admiring that about this woman. Its something that any of them could learn.
"Hey, there aint nothing wrong with determination" Roman says with a shrug.
Kiana, surprised, launches her ribbon like spears but was cleaved in half by Himekos blade, however as she continued to cut, her body was being riddled with cuts from the ribbons. Himeko clears the ribbons and jumps to bring the sword down on Kiana.
"Himeko just wont give up!" Jaune says with a smirk, rooting for Himeko.
"Because she has something to fight for" Pyrrha says as she reaches over and takes her crushes hand, which Jaune returns and looks back at Pyrrha and smiles.
"We all have something to fight for" Ren says with a smile, getting a nod from Nora.
Kiana, furious, balls void energy into her hands and launches it at Himeko which turned into a spear of pure void energy, but Himeko met it blade first and began to cave it in, hoping to cut through the energy.
"Don't give up now!" Yang says with a grin.
All this cheering got eyerolls from Cinder, Mercury and Emerald as all this touchy feely crap was nauseating to them.
Gabriel however was smiling at the good guys, glad that they had a rolemodel to look up to, before she looked down, knowing what was to come. It saddened her that they would be going through such turmoil. She hums in thought. Himeko deserved her rest now in the afterlife with them. No need to bring her back for no reason now.
Kianas mind, despite on the fight, began to think back of her students, her friends.
"Major" Mei says to her
"Major" Bronya says to her
"Major" Theresa says to her
"Major" Fu says to her
However, it's the last one that hurts Himeko the most. It was Kiana. "I'm definitely gonna be the bestest Valkyrie ever, Aunt Himeko!"If Himeko could cry at the moment she would as she grit her teeth, as four flame wings sprout from her back.
Ruby and Yang were crying at this, knowing it hurt so much to see the happy Kiana turn into this, not only that but the words struck a cord in their hearts. It struck a cord in all of their hearts as they look down or watch impassively in sympathy for the woman. All except for two.
Raven rolls her eyes. "Bonds are for the weak. She should just focus on her own power" She says before Gabriel finally snapped.
"That's it, I have had it with this woman" Gabriel says throwing down her light spear as she grabs Raven by the back of her clothes and pulls her from her chair.
"Raven!" Vernal began before she was backhanded by Gabriel.
"I despise human beings like yourself Raven. Not only did you abandon your husband and your daughter, REGARDLESS of the Reason, you could have at least said good bye, But no, that would make you look to weak right?" Gabriel says, the normally quiet and content Archangel has had it with this woman. "You are a poor excuse for a mother and a poor excuse for a human being! All for strength, what a weak and shallow thing to strive for" Gabriel scoffs squeezing her throat before throwing her back in her seat.
"Im going for a walk" Gabreil says grabbing her spear before walking out and slamming the door behind her. Yang and Qrow was looking at Raven who looked absolutely Murderous at the moment who wanted nothing more then to gut that woman.
"Get back to your seats and we can continue the viewing…" trying to calm any coming arguments that they may had.
With newfound determaination and power, she clears the void and roars as she was bringing down her blade.
"Dammit!" Kiana says as she wasn't expecting this at all.
With the previous events behind them, they continued to watch.
"She did it!" Ruby says with a grin.
"I knew she could" Jaune says with a grin as they watch Himeko in victory.
"Kiana, Be brave! Push on! You can still end this story the way you want!" She says to Kiana as the piece of armor on her back breaks from all the abuse and use.
Energy explodes from the ship where Himeko impacts. "Live… Kiana"
"Is… it over?" Emerald says quietly, trying to see through the flashes of white light.
"No… not yet" Qrow says rememebering something from earlier but decides not to voice it just yet. This got a few looks from some of the others, while some realized what it was.
Kiana however was gasping as she sees Himeko above her, blade missed, looking almost completely dead. "that's… my final lesson… for you…" she says as her sword breaks as she began to fall forward.
"She… she missed" Pyrrha says quietly, seeing the poor state of the woman, knowing that it was over for her now.
"She couldn't do it… she couldn't kill Kiana…" Qrow says as he looks at his flask for a long moment, as if asking if he could do the same… could he kill his niece or nephew for being a danger. Could he kill his former tribe for wanting to kill Yang for example.
"Of course she couldn't. Shes weak" Cinder says with a scoff, glad that she never lets her emotions rull her over.
"Compared to you, shes the strongest woman ive ever met" Sienna says with a smirk, knowing it would rile her up and truthfully, she didn't care.
Kiana stares in shock for a long moment before scowling, headbutting Kiana, throwing her back, but as Himeko fell back, the smallest of smiles grace Himeko in her dying moments.
Ozpin smiles behind his mug when he sees Himeko smile lightly, it was hard to notice but it was there, and only the most observant could see it. The others who didn't was balling and weeping at the loss of someone they looked up to.
"So… She didn't do it…" Ruby says wiping away her tears before Qrow, seeing the smile tapping her shoulder before pointing at the screen.
"Don't count her out just yet kiddo" Qrow says as they turned back to the screen to watch.
Kiana Gasps as the vail that was once in Himekos armor, was injecting into her back, releasing the fluid into her. Kiana yells out as at last, the energy from the void rushes out of her body, crackling.
"She did it…" Yang says with a grin, upset that Himeko died but that means Kiana would come back to life, or rather, Kiana would come back to her old self.
"I knew she could do it!" Ruby says with a smile before it faded. "That means she… died… sacrificing herself to…"
"Bring back the one she loved… Lets all be honest here Ruby… we all would do the exact same thing in her shoes." Jaune says reaching over and patting her shoulder, who smiles in return.
The world and ship around them began to fall apart, without Herrscher to control it, falling into the world below.
Kiana, now passed on, fell into the void as the ship collapses, able to now rest for eternity.
"What a roller coaster of emotions" Glynda says with a small sigh, getting a nod from Ironwood and Winter. They had enjoyed the viewings of course but it was such a roller coaster of emotions.
"Agreed. It is good to see that Kiana will be back to normal though it is a shame that Himeko had to die to bring her back. As such is the life for hunters I suppose" Ozpin says as he finishes his mug of coffee before setting it down and sighing.
"Well that's what we are here for professor Ozpin… to make the world a better place aren't we?" Ruby asks as she stands and stretches and pops her back, a bit stiff from sitting down for so long, not that she minded of course as it was cool to watch these many worlds.
"Do you think well be able to see Kiana around the Repository? She could be fun to hang out with" Nora asks with a grin as Ren pats her shoulder lightly, thankful his semblance allowed him to even out his emotions compared to some people.
"I myself am interested to see if we can harvest this void energy" Cinder says to her Mistress Salem and her cohorts who nodded at what she says.
"Yeah and get possessed by one just like that bitch? No thank you, ill stick to my aura and wits to be as strong as I can be. Id rather Die as me then live as somebody else" Roman says with a snerk as takes a cigar from the inside of his coat before putting it inside his mouth and lighting it.
"I still have a few things I want to say to that bitch from earlier" Raven says with a huff and getting a laugh from Qrow.
"Man… you really do hold onto grudges. Maybe have you considered what she said has actual basis or do you have your head so far up your ass that you cant see straight?" Qrow says taking another long siip of his flask before putting it on his belt.
"How dare you Qrow" She snarls as she wanted to do nothing more then strangle her brother at the moment.
-End Viewing-
It wasn't long before the door opened once more to reveal Azrael walking through, and closing the door behind him. "Good Afternoon… I assume you all enjoyed the viewing? At least to some extent?" He asks with a small smile as he held a book in one hand and staff in the other.
"We did to some extent though it was an emotional roller coaster." Weiss says with a small huff as this got a laugh out of Azrael and nods.
"Aye, this world is known to be like that and im sure you have so many questions though please hold off on them for now, especially why some people are here, I can already tell you all are going to be bombarding me with that particular question." Azrael says as he grabs the book on the projector and hands it to Bismarck who nods, taking it into her hands as Azrael replaces it.
"So… ive been meaning to ask… weve been watching all of these and you say you want to prepare us to fight…. The brothers… but what kind of training are you going to give us?" Sienna asks curiously as she puts her hands on her hips as Azrael could be seen giving a small smirk at them.
"I wish to go over a few things before we begin the training. Any skills and muscle memory you pick up here is yours to keep. Weapons are a no go as they could be bound to the world they came from. Regardless, I will begin yout training… now… Catch" Azrael says before throwing Ruby a vial of blue liquid, which looks very familiar to them as some eyes widened.
Azrael snaps his fingers as a bright light washes over them and taking them to their new location. He hums as he checks his clock, they'll finish in time for the next viewing.
-Void Dimension: RWBY (All) vs. Herrscher of the Void-
They all landed on the same ship like area that Himeko had fought on not too long ago that they had seen. The space around them was muted as boulders were floating above them
"Are we where I think we are?" Jaune says as he pulls his sword from his sheath, as Ruby was looking at the vial.
"We are… Prepare yourselves" Ozpin says pulling his sword from his cane.
"I despise having to fight along side you Ozpin" Cinder says as Ozpin stays quiet as they hear the familiar click clacking of the heels tapping against the seeming invisible floor.
"I see that im able to finally show you worms the power of the void…" God Kiana says as she kept the regal appearance about her.
However they weren't Hunters for nothing as they began to open fire on the woman who does nothing, merely lifting her palm as a portal opens up and absorbs the fire.
"Dammit what do we remember about her?" ironwood says as he keeps his heavy revolver pointed at her as he looks around, the ship was big enough to allow fighting thankfully and allowed them to maneuver.
"Shes not omnipotent! She didn't confirm Himeko had died just yet!" Ruby yells out as she jumps back, switching her scythe into her gun form and continues to fire at the god who simply looked bored at all of this, keeping the portal up.
"Why isn't she attacking?" Emerald says, staying as far away from the good guys as possible.
"Who Cares, take advantage of this while we can! Yo Red you said she wasn't omnipotent right?!" Roman asks getting a nod from the red reaper. "Throw me that damn vial!" He says as Ruby looks at Ozpin, as if asking before he too nods.
Right now, with this powerful woman they have to trust in one another or else they will all perish.
Ruby nods as she tosses him the vial who catches it and puts it into his coat for now, sending out the red dust flares occasionally.
"I wont let you" herrscher says as she sent a block of void energy towards the theif, only to be blocked by Qrow and his scythe.
"I don't like you you dirty theif but you better get your ass moving" He says using his aura as a shield to hold back the energy, Roman wasted no time as he looks to Neo, Who nods in return and jumps off the side of the ship.
"I wont let yo-" Herscher began before she was kicked in the face by Mercury and sent back.
"You talk too much" Mercury says with a smirk as he jumps back. It was then that Kiana decided to get serious as she uses her void to grab Mercury and slams him into the bridge of the old ship.
"You will all PERISH" She yells out as she grabs Ruby by her throat and slams her into the floor and raises her foot to end her before Yang jumped to save her, throwing punches at the god. Kiana scoffs and uses her telepathic abilities to send her flying, Glynda using her own powers to catch her before hitting a wall or sent off the side of the ship.
"Where the hell is he…?" Sienna says as she uses her chain to attempt to attack the god, though at this moment she knew it would a distracting tool, and she hated being the bait but she currently was doing just that.
"Roman is reliable. Give him some time" Cinder says, though she loathed to admit it as she notches another arrow to fire. Ozpin, using his speed and aura to get close to swipe at her, only for her to catch the blade midswipe.
"Ah the sorcerer… how quaint" She says before kicking him away as well as she absolutetly back hands Ironwood hard. Not one to take it lying down, Winter, holding her two swords charges at the woman, using her glyphs as buffs as she began to swing and swipe.
"Dammit were getting our asses handed to us by this woman. The only reason we haven't worked our way around her is because of how narrow this ship is" Qrow says as he held his sword in his broadsword form.
"That sounds like an issue for you!" Raven says charging forward with her blade in hand, taking swings at the woman who merely deflects it or dodges it all together.
"Roman better pull through Ruby" Blake says as she was firing her rounds at the woman who merely smirks at the group.
"Hell pull through" Ruby says, trusting of him then she usually was at this point. It was a miracle they weren't killed yet though she suspected this woman was merely toying with them, her pride will be her downfall
"How you doing Mercury?" Emerald says pulling him out of the debris, normally she would have left him there and continued fighting Kiana but Cinder ordered her to comre check on him.
"I'll live… how we doing?" Mercury says as he rubs his neck.
'Getting our asses completely handed to us thanks for asking!" Qrow yells out as he was cutting one of the razor sharp ribbons in half as he grits his teeth, no wonder Himeko had it hard at this.
"You will all perish regardless!" Kiana yells as she conjures energy in her right hand and launches it at them. The energy then turned into a drill as it made their way towards them.
However, before it could hit them, Roman appeared from nowhere and sucker punches her. She growls as she was thrown to the floor. Sending an energy blast towards Roman, He shatters like glass before she gasps, feeling the serum enter her skin as she could feel the energy begin to leave her body.
"NOOOOO" Kiana yells out as she collapses, turning back into her former self, collapsing and asleep now, absolutely exhausted.
"heh… hey I did it" Roman says with a smirk and a tip of his hat before they were called back to the theatre room.
-Repository-
"Good work… im glad you all began to show the signs of working together! I know you may not like it and some of you might even hate me for it but I promise its for the greater good… some of you anyway." Azrael says as he watches them all panting and exhausted from the fight.
"Why don't you all clean up, eat up and come back in an hour, ill have the next world up by then." Azrael says as they all nod and walk towards the door.
Whoooo heres chapter 2! Note that because these chapters are longer it will take me longer to get them out!

"In all my years of flying ive never been in such a massive dogfight"
"So which ones Nemisis?"
"Ive heard enough of your tall tales for one life time! Its time to see if you measure up!"
