Chapter 4: Serena's Resolve.

Qrow Branwen is having a shitty week, it's been two weeks since the incident that shaken the world, what with all that light show and everything, including to what had happened to Summer, sure, she is alive and all, but she is now forced to sit in a wheelchair from now on, and have to get help from Tai to carry her to the second floor up and down of their house.

Small blessings of mercy, if nothing else he supposed.

But that's not what got him in the dumps, no, what got him moody right now is the call he received from his sister, something of great importance that he should come immediately in a disclosed location, which has him annoyed has he was spending time with Tai, Summer and the two kids.

Something his sister is supposed to be doing.

Alas, he was forced to go in his bird form, in no small part to Ozpin ordering him to, saying that it could be important, so with no choice, he left with a note to the Xiao-Longs as to the why, and then went on his way where Raven instructed him where to meet.

Which happens to be in a forest with a center clearing with a camping site, the drunk huntsman knew immediately that this is the place, due to two guards standing in the front of the gate.

This is the main camp for the Branwen tribe.

With a caw, he dive's down and transforms back into his human form in front of the two guards who gripped their weapons, they didn't bring them out, but didn't let their guard down either.

"Well? Here I am, so are you boys going to let me in, or didn't my sister tell you I was called here by her personally?" He asked with a rhetoric droll.

They stared at each other before looking at the man and open the gates, Qrow raised an eyebrow, normally there would be a little scuffle as he would have expected, but it must be serious if they let it go that easily, something in his gut is telling him that he is not going to like this one bit.

Walking through the path, ignoring the stares ranging from disdain, anxiety, and some hope?

Okay, now he is confused, what the hell happened to make them show this beaten look, bandages and castings for some others that look like they went through hell and back?

Guess he will find out soon enough from the boss herself.

Reaching the very end of the camp, he sees a huge tent that screams Raven's, moving up to the stairs and stands before the flaps, thinking on how to approach this without escalating things, knowing his luck, shit just might hit the fan, thinking on what could be so urgent as to call him here.

One of the thugs opened the flaps and gesture him to go inside, and go he did without saying a word, when he looks up, his breath caught his throat.

( Insert Song: Fate/Zero OST/All the worlds evil: Angra Mainyu's Theme )

With two cots made on each side of the tent, lays one young girl with bandages and wrappings around her upper body, a black eye and couple of scars visible.

But it was the other occupant that has his attention, his sister in a similar condition, with a wet cloth on her forehead, her eyes with bags under them landed on his and spoke hoarsely.

"Hello, brother."

Qrow snaps out of it and slowly walks to her. "Raven? What the hell happen to you?" He said in a whisper.

Raven coughs before replying. "Take a seat, we have much to talk about." She sits up from her resting spot, removing the rag.

Qrow tsked, typical of her to ignore the question, but complies as he took a chair nearby and sat next to her cot. "So, what happened."

Raven took a deep breath and begins to tell her story. "It just all started like any other raid… couple of robbing here, several tearing down buildings there, the usual routine on what we do, and when we were almost finished with the final part of our said routine, she appeared." She told him.

Qrow took out his flask and chugged a bit down, already knowing of her sister's despicable acts, before spit-taking his drinks contents, coughing, regaining his bearings. "Was it her?!" He demands in worry from 'her' making a move.

His sister shook her head. "No, my current state was not done by Salem, if it were, I would be dead." The Drunk nodded in agreement, knowing her, she does not spare people who allied with Ozpin.

Or former allies in Ravens case.

Raven's face turns to a grimace. "My condition was made by a complete stranger, a woman by the name of Vlitra, who I thought was a delusional fool at the time, she even had the gall to call me weak along with the tribe as well." Qrow was shocked out of his mind from hearing that.

It is a known fact that the Branwen tribe hold the reputation as the strongest amongst all other tribes, and thus take their strength very seriously, and to hear someone calling them, especially Raven of all people weak is a sure-death sentence.

"But I was proven wrong, because not only does she looked down on us and called us weak, but she also did it in a way that almost makes it true." She finished with a mere whisper.

Qrow leans forward. "How?" He inquires while not looking forward on what she is gonna say due to the dread he is feeling.

"She did it in three ways, the first one was what she did to Drake." Qrow grits his teeth in hearing that name, he outright despised him as the sick bastard makes it no secret as being a rapist in the tribe.

How his sister tolerates him, he would never know.

"Which is?"

Raven took a shaken breath like trying to suppress a bad memory before continuing. "She did it by placing him inside a sack."

That's it?

"That's it?" Speaking his exact thought with a raised eyebrow, honestly expected a lot more worse than that.

Raven glares at him in the eye and says. "Qrow, she placed him in a sack made entirely of his own skin, which she torn off and wrap the top with cable wires while still being alive!"

Okay, that got Qrow to blanch and rear his head back in absolute horror and disgust from that one, he has seen fucked up atrocities and psychotic people in his career, but never something like this, this is a new level of pure barbarism to the core.

Tearing a person's skin from their very bodies and turn it into a sack to force them in? Who the hell does that sick shit!?

Raven moves on before they could get sidetracked. "The second one; she knows Qrow." Said man was confused, which she elaborates. "She knows everything, the existence of the two gods, Ozpin, and Salem."

He choked on air the third time. "WHAT!?" This is not good, someone knowing the secret war is not good in anyway whatsoever.

Raven nodded in agreement as it was the same with her. "And she flat out said it too, in front of other people, I don't know how, but she knows of the war between Ozpin and Salem."

Qrow shook his head in disbelief. "This is not good, if word gets out." He doesn't say further.

"And the final straw was me attacking her, and I lost pathetically, she just grabbed my blade with only two of her fingers like a card, then snap it with absolute ease and tore my Aura with just one slap, which send me flying through a building, I felt the strength from the force." The sister revealed. While keeping the secret of her being a spring maiden to herself.

The scythe-wielder would have been impressed and in awe if the situation wasn't so dire.

"Damn, that has to be one scary woman you have encountered." He quips morosely rubbing a hand on his face, until something clicks in his head. "But wait, what else do you know of her? What abilities does she have? Any kind of weaknesses? As well as what she looks like?" He questions in hopes of learning anything about this individual, either in appearance or any weakness, slim It may be on the latter.

Raven was quite for a few moments to think on this carefully before replying. "So far, the powers she had shown were speed and strength in extremely high abnormal levels, along with the ability to fly and bringing forth red, ethereal blades out of the palm of her hands, her fighting style were to something of a dancer's. An unpredictable fighting style" Memories of that fight still etched in her mind.

"But most importantly, and I can't stress this enough Qrow, she possesses complete mastery over nature, exceeding even that of the four maidens put together and beyond." She declared resolutely.

Qrow was becoming awed from this individual battle prowess, but everything grinds to a complete stop from the last part, power over nature? This is unprecedented! Only the four maidens could do it.

Without a word, the swordswoman turns to her right and takes a sketchbook resting on a crate, turns several pages before giving it to him.

Qrow drinks in the appearance of the person in the highly-detailed drawing and whistles in appreciation of the beauties looks, the ladies-man in him made itself known for a moment, he refocuses and looks up at Raven. "So, this is the person who gave you a hard time?" He rhetorically inquires while taking the book in his back pocket.

Something to show to Ozpin after this.

Raven shook her head in denial. "No, that is not a person, there is a lot more to it than she appears, and she is more powerful and dangerous than anything in this world, the worse monster to exist." She retorted vehemently.

The brother's eyebrows raised a level, he simply can't believe what he just heard. "What? Raven, what reason do you have enough to-" His words were caught in his throat the fourth time, as his sister is shaking, when she looks up, he sees tears spilling, with her eyes showing excessive amounts of something he never saw from her.

Fear.

Raven hiccups, really hiccups and says. "Because brother, I saw the silhouette of a six-armed giant monster behind that human exterior that it shape shifted into, eyes with so full of hate and fury, it is the same monster that happens to be the one responsible for the cataclysm, and its existence alone will have our knowledge, Ozpins, and most especially Salem's own be put into question, a monster that is far more ancient than every fairy tale that exists. The two gods? Ozpin? Salem? Our survival?" She asks mockingly with a laugh that is borderline broken as she holds herself in a vain attempt to comfort herself.

Qrow is disturbed by her behavior, but what catches his ear is when he heard the 'six-armed giant, eyes with hate and fury' part, this description is matched the same monster that was described by Summer, it clicked things together that this now named Vlitra is the same monster they were looking for, and both Summer and Raven had an encounter with it, and SURVIVED?

No, it would be more sensible that it allowed them to survive, both strong people he knew at its mercy, yet spares them.

Sparing the former of the two of its own volition is what he suspects, since Raven isn't holding a good record.

Raven looks down. "They all mean nothing to me now Qrow, and it gets worse because I have now seen the truth of everything, it revealed me its history by probing into my mind and showed me of what they are, and where it comes from, and what it fought against, a civilization with eight great warriors that makes the four maidens look pathetic, while it was defeated by just one, this world of ours also has another name called Gaea, it's honest to gods first and only true name." She shudders.

"So, when it comes to that monstrosity, it's safe to say that I have learned a hard-learned lesson that day." She whimpers openly as she looks back at him.

And the next thing she says will haunt him for the rest of his days.

"Is that the arrogance of man is thinking that nature is in our control, and not the other way around. After all, what can Salem and Ozpin hope to do against the very will of the planet itself, the one who can devour even a human's very soul?"

And she stated it all with eyes wide and haunting, along with a broken smile.

And Qrow continued to listen to what her injured sister had to tell him everything she knew, and at the very conclusion of her tale did he proceed to run out of the tent for it was proven too much from horror striking in his very heart, transforming back into the bird he is befittingly named for, and flies as far as his could allow, he needs to tell Ozpin about this.

As well as get the hell out of there, as his sister's broken state terrifies him, doesn't help from the slightly deranged laughter she is making in his haste, the drunk had never been so pale, because if his sisters' words were to be believed, then there is a threat out there even worse than Salem.

And it's skulking throughout Remnant!

( Two years later: Current Location of Mistral= Shirai Village )

BOOM!

The settlement lays under siege, attacked by bandits known as the Bearskins (Not my greatest idea in names, sounds like something that belongs to a football team for some reason), one bandit threw a couple of Molotov's into a house of a faunus family screaming in fear that was already on fire, one of many others that is enough to illuminate the rainy night sky.

No matter how hard it's pouring, the fires right now we're not relenting in the least.

"HAHAHA! Now that's beautiful, burn more, more, more!"

Was the deranged cackle of the thrower as he runs on to another house to incinerate, despite the pouring rain in the middle of the night with no clear sky in sight, thunder explodes and lighting flashes, it didn't deter them in the least.

This is a raid that has started not long ago, the bearskin tribe hide in the middle parts of the mountains that no one ever dares to go, and for good reason.

"C'mon fellas, we got plenty more houses to go, so get to it!" Yelled out the leader with a Mohawk, a short beard, cargo pants and a cheap black vest holding Molotov's by the belt, combat boots with one having the toes exposed.

The other bandits roared and raised their own weapons in the air before scattering to do whatever they please.

Many villagers run for their lives, plenty of village guards fought back to the best of their abilities, but sadly they were slowly but surely losing ground as they don't have the numbers that the bearskins have or have that much confidants to make it through tonight. If their being honest, they knew deep down in their hearts that this could be the end for them.

If they're going to die? Then they will take as many of these bastards along with them in the afterlife.

Meanwhile on the other side of the village, two bandits with flashlights in hand, kick off a front door off its hinges, and goes inside of a house, minutes later they come out, dragging a woman and her daughter by the hair with a harsh tug, making them shout in pain.

"Let her go! Please stop! Let my daughter go!" She screamed, desperately trying to escape from the killer grip he has on her and her child.

The attacker's pay's no mind from her plea, they just simply move on into a forest area not too far from the raid, just a small open area with plenty of bushes.

A perfect spot for what they're planning to do.

"Quiet, you little bitch! Or else I am going to do something to your daughter and force you to watch as it happens!" The one Bearskin threatened while holding the daughter with a knife close to her throat, making her whimper in fear as her hands was being tied up to a thin tree behind her back with a pair of rope, and her head being held by the neck, courtesy of his belt he pulled out from his pants, and lastly uses duct tape to shut her mouth.

The second bearskin holding the mother grinned sickly. "And if you want her to live through this night, you will do exactly as I say, so don't worry your pretty little head too much, you and I are going to have a very, very good time."

The older woman shuts up and pales, knowing exactly what they are going to do, and begins to start shaking.

The second thugs grin widens even further and licked his lips as he undresses her with his eyes. "That's a good girl." He purrs nastily, he then proceeds to reach for the blouse and was reared to tear it off, much to the mother's horror, and the daughter's despair.

He is planning on raping her in front of her child!

CHOMP!

Or he would have, if something didn't snatch him in a white flash, and disappeared into the undergrowth.

Both the mother and daughter, and the thug holding the latter blinked with a dumb confusion, trying to process what just happened, doesn't help that it was too dark see fifteen feet away.

WHOOSH!

But they become terrified from seeing a body flying into a tree.

SNAP!

THUD!

Which was followed by the sound of the now revealed bandits body bending in an unnatural angle as it collided with his spine and landed hard, but he was already dead as they see a huge chunk of his upper torso is gone like something took a big bite of off him. The mother and daughter were repulsed by the sight. But what they heard next rattled their own bones.

Growl!

"What the fu-!" The bandit didn't say further

CHOMP!

"AAAHHHHHH-MMMMMHHHHHPPPP!"

As he was suddenly pulled up into the air screaming while letting go of his own flashlight, and the knife the man once had landed on a mud pile, the same white blur once again disappeared into the undergrowth.

"MMMMMHHHHHPPPP!"

CRUNCH!

The muffled screams were silenced by a loud crunch and dripping noises.

GRRRR!

CHOMP!

CHEW!

.

.

.

SWALLOW!

.

.

.

.

.

THUD! THUD! THUD! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud. Thud. Thud.

The silence was deafening for a few seconds before the mother snaps out of it, hearing the mysterious monster running footsteps fading, meaning that whatever it was, it was leaving, with new-found strength, she runs to her child, but stops for a moment to get the knife of the mud and uses it to cut her daughter free from her bindings.

And proceeds to hug her and cries openly in joyful relief from being saved from a worst fate.

"Momma, look."

Looking back up to see her daughter's eyes widened as she points her finger, following the direction where her precious child is pointing at, it was the same mud puddle, she grabbed the flashlight and aims at it carefully while still holding her daughter closely, not daring to let her go. Once she is close enough for the light to reach it, the mother became shocked and frigid.

"My god." She breathes at what she is seeing.

The mud puddle has a giant paw print on it.

Mainly that of a wolfs.

---

( Back in the village )

Three Bearskins were strolling into the village square like they own the place with smug smiles splitting their faces.

CRASH!

But that changed when something big crashed through a house next to them.

CHOMP!

And takes a big bite out of the guy in the middle.

SLAM!

SLAM!

Stomps on the guy to the left. And does the same with one on the right, and then proceeds to enjoy its meal.

"What the hell is that?!"

The beast turns its head to the direction of that scream, while having his victim still halfway inside his mouth, with the feet visible and dangling like a rag doll with blood coating his nuzzle, slit Amber eyes peering through the darkness.

The entire tribe of the Bearskins were passing by while dragging the hundreds of civilians that survived were gob smacked.

What they see standing in front of them is a huge and terrifying white wolf that is comparable to the size of the buildings around it, if not bigger, it has four, thick golden rings on each of its legs, and immediately they knew what this beast was, and they paled soon after.

"RUN! It's here!"

"Were all gonna die!"

So, they fled, screaming for their lives, the village and its people forgotten entirely.

The giant wolf devoured the rest of his previous meal and took chase, while jumping over and ignoring the shivering civilians who were on their knees or stomachs, cowering in fear from the sight of it.

Focusing its attention in favor of the running Bearskins instead.

Which it didn't take long to reach them as it was much faster than anything with two legs.

"AHHHH-"

CHOMP!

Case in point. As the wolfs next meal was caught halfway in its mouth, throwing him up in the air while spinning, when gravity begins to pull down on the screaming Bearskin, with the beast jumping upwards behind him, it opens its mouth wide open showing rows of blooded teeth from the previous meals, and slams its jaws down hard on the bandit.

SNAP!

CRACK!

SPLAT!

And was bended forward like a closed book, resulting the man's spine to snap outward out of his back, the arms showing on the side of his jaws, limping. The giant beast begins to chew them back inside his mouth, swallows his food, licking his chomp's in glee while still on the move.

"OH MY GO-WHAM!" The second bandit was sent flying onto a house wall from a swipe of its paw.

SPLOTCH!

And was reduced to nothing but bits from the amount of force the wolf smacked him with, leaving a huge blood stain on the walls behind.

Then grabs the next bandit by his upper torso in his teeth, flips him up in a spin and grabs his legs, and raised him up high in the air.

"NO! NO! NO-"

SLAM!

SPLAT!

And slammed him hard on the earth, body bits flew in random directions.

After that came the next slaughter fest the wolf was concocting, screams heard throughout the settlement for minutes on end, and for once, it wasn't the villagers doing the screaming.

Eventually, all is silent save the rain pouring down, thunder and lightning coming up to in random intervals in seconds, many bodies and other body parts were lying on the ground, various organs open for the world to see, various faces of horror and fear forever etched.

And moving on to see the giant wolf growling and snarling.

The last of the victims was the leader himself, his feet were stomped by the monster's giant left paw, insuring he can't ever walk again, also making the man scream in horrendous pain.

But was silenced when the wolfs jaws closed in on his upper half, wriggling, turning and rotating his head around roughly like a house pet would on a chew toy while the man was flaring his arms around and hitting his captor's nuzzle in hopes to be released.

But the white wolf soon begins to pull, the leaders arms dropped in a limp as tendrils of flesh were being stretched from beyond the allowed capacity.

SNAP!

And his spine was snapped in two as he was ripped apart, blood sprayed into the air, and begins to chew on the rest of the Bearskin leaders' corpse while growling in delight.

Gulp!

The wolf raises its head up high and swallows its last meal, looking around and sniffing to see if anything else were around, detecting nothing, it runs run's out of the village, into the forest, and into the night.

The daughter and mother from earlier made it back into the village, ran into the village to see most of the people were alive, men and woman and children, but they set their sights on one person.

"Daddy!" The little girl yelled as she ran to someone who happens to be one of the village guards, said guard snaps his head into the direction of that familiar voice, fatherly instincts kicking in he ran to them desperately, and hugs his daughter tightly.

"Oh, my sweet baby girl, your safe, you're both safe." He murmurs in her hair in absolute relief, soon his wife joined in on the hugging.

"Hey look!" A random male villager yelled out as he points out to the direction of a hill.

And when the full moon peaks through the big opening of rainclouds, they become mesmerized at what they saw.

The same giant wolf that is standing on a flat boulder above a small mountain. Its white fur reflecting the soft glow from the moon behind it to prove its majesty further, no amount of blood on its muzzle doesn't detract any of that.

And it was staring down at them.

But the surprise however…

"HAAAAOOOOHHH!"

Came from the children as they raised their heads up to it in a mimic that of a wolf howling to the sky. Including the parents own daughter joining in.

The adults and especially the parents were bewildered from this oddly unexpected behavior.

But they became further surprised when the giant white wolf heard the cries of the children, it stares down at them, before staring ahead, rears its head up.

HAAAAOOOOHHH!

And howls out long and loudly into the night alongside with the kids, as if its heart is trying to reach out to them, the clouds once again cover's the moon, and the great beast along with it.

Vanishing into the darkness.

The father only heard of this beast that was spoken in whispers within the small various communities outside of the four main kingdom's walls.

"So, it is true." He said in awe, the other grown-ups who heard it were in the same boat as him. But snaps out of it as he, and the others begin to rally everything and preparing to leave, it's no longer safe here, as the amount of negativity is no doubt sensed by the Grimm.

Unknown to them however, they are bit preoccupied by other creatures more ancient than them.

But what they do know, is that the existence of a wolf that is said to stand above at the pinnacle of all wolves, hunts down sinners and the creatures of Grimm being a recent myth…

Has proven itself to be true, right in front of their very eyes.

---

( A week later )

In the highest snowy mountaintop in an isolated frozen island, a place where it is at its coldest, despite the clear skies where other mountain ranges appear as far as the eye can see and none dared to tread upon them.

"HURRAAAHHHH!"

Boom!

All the sudden, a yell was heard in the distance, shortly followed by an explosion of snow appearing from the side of the mountain.

Zooming in a wide area with dead trees torn from their roots, large rocks near to the edges that either fall from their place, explode and turn to rubble, or get sliced to pieces from gusts of wind.

BANG!

Two red blurs shoot at each other in mid-air, gusts of wind moving around from the amount of force put into it, jumping away from the other, jumping down on the snowy ground reveals two people.

The obviously much older individual appearing to be a mature woman in her late twenties is none other than Vlitra, not much is changed in terms of appearance, matter of fact she has hasn't aged a day, considering her origins is of little to no surprise whatsoever.

And right now, she currently is staring at the swirling red vortex turning down in a slow but steady rate, consequently making snow to calm down from the previous vortex of power. Said cause?

"Oh Vlitra~."

Happens to be a pissed off cat faunus known as Serena appears when the haze of snow cleared up.

In Vlitra's eyes, the much younger girl she raised for two years has now bloomed into a very beautiful young lady that just started into her teenage years, fifteen to be exact, her hair as white as the snow around her, reaching the approximately at the back of her knees, with spikes spread from top to bottom, her bangs close to her chin, and her eyes red as blood. (1)

Her attire was woven by the will of the planet personally to protect her from the cold. A full-length black coat with a hood that has two silver drawstrings decorated with beads at the bottom end, next came them silver chain ornament adorned with four large cylindrical silver beads that fastens to a loop on either side of the collarbone region.

With the large silver zipper that fastens to the top and zips down to seal the coat, wearing black gloves, knee length black square toed boots with the bottom zipper located in front of Serena's upper thigh area, having an open slit in the front of said area.

( Organization XIII Coat: Do not own )

It holds many uses such as preventing any rips and tears or any holes big or small, any kind of punishment it goes through and it will still look like it was brand new, her hood is also capable of having her face covered completely in shadows, as if staring into a dark abyss, making it almost impossible to see through it.

By inspiration from her Gohma whenever they teleported, she added her own touch of teleportation into the coat that unleashes a black and red corridor that only she and Serena can access to, anyone else would be torn apart if they so much as try to enter it to give chase.

Except for Siegfried and Dust of course.

"Yes, young one?" Vlitra responded nonchalantly, not at all concerned of her voice singing sweetly with a threatening undertone, much less a death-glare the much younger girl was giving her now.

She was secretly proud of her for showing such a backbone, even though it was aimed at her, but it was the thought that counts, and besides, if it were anybody else, they would be on a receiving end for a beating.

Serena was not amused, and it shows when her left eye twitched from her long-time companion's unrepentant reply. "Tell me, what purpose possessed you to drop a bucket of water. Filled with ice cubes I might add, when I'm trying to enjoy my hard-earned break by taking a nap from what I had to suffer through 24/7?" The Faunus demanded with a snarl.

Vlitra crosses her arms underneath her bust and respond back into what Serena dubs as the teacher mode and stiffens slightly, because when she's about to lecture someone, you better damn well listen lest she throws you in a pit filled with Gohma.

"It's like you said young one. because it's a break, not a day off, meaning you cannot be allowed to laze about while under a training schedule that I personally made out for you in order to get stronger than anyone in Remnant. But lo and behold, an hour later and you already got yourself a little complacent while I was doing something important."

Like speaking to her own counterpart, buts that isn't here or there.

"While yes, it's necessary to relax, as in rest our minds and bodies to recuperate from the hard activities for extended amounts of time, but you have more than enough rest, and thus to get you a little back on track, I have to keep you in tip top condition by knocking you down over and over again for these past couple of hours." As punishment being left unsaid.

Taking a breath. "Which was why our previous order of business is to sense the danger of impeding threats even when asleep, hence the bucket of water with ice cubes I dropped on you, not only it serves as your punishment, it's also to teach you a lesson in terms of awareness. If it was anything else that is more lethal, say slitting your throat in your sleep, what do you think would happen if you weren't keeping at least one eye open from possible immediate threats?" Vlitra asked rhetorically.

Serena's face furrows in consideration of her mentor's entire lecture and frowns when she heard of what would happen of getting killed in her sleep, in no way she can refute her on that.

It may seem harsh, but Serena understands where she is coming from, and she learned under her tutelage that sugarcoating is not her way of doing things, much less give a damn about what happens to others.

If someone told her 'Did you know several people got shot yesterday?', her reaction would be the same like someone asked 'Hey, did you know that watermelons are on sale?' Then good for them as she is not affected in anyway of what happens to the few that die within a single week.

Her teacher isn't the type to go out her way saving people left and right, the Huntsmen and the Academies exist for a reason, but she is far from trusting them because she had come across plenty that did not reach the criteria as protectors. Hell, she and Vlitra had to kill several hostile rogue Huntsman in four months alone, due to them, the rogues, being unruly provokers.

In other words. She and Vlitra don't come for trouble, it was trouble that comes for them.

While planetary obligations enforced Vlitra to preserve a species from near extinction as they play a part in nature, and mother Gaea loves her children with all her heart, and that includes humanity.

Vlitra is reluctant but complies to her counterparts wishes. But that won't mean she will coddle mankind, if their endangerment was done by their own hands, then she will make their life's a miserable hell for even wasting her time because of the consequences of their folly finally catching up to them with a colossal bite in the ass.

And considering the history that the sins of man she read through countless history books she absorbed herself in various libraries, combined with the demigods have committed during the days when Vlitra was at the height of her power.

Inevitably, she can't really blame her at all for thinking like that. Vlitra is far too old, cynical and jaded to take any human being or faunus in very high regards, and for good damn reason, she herself is not spared from the cruelties of reality, so she is of like-mind when it comes to humans and even her own faunus kind.

While she has seen the best in humanity and faunus alike, but it's the absolute worst that overshadows them. Justice and fate. Ignorance and escapism, they never learned, they never listened. It will only be a matter of time before they do something so bad that Vlitra herself would have come to punish them for their foolishness.

Simple way of adding it is that her faith in both races were forfeit long ago.

She snaps out of it as Vlitra talks again. "Now enough talking, we must continue on with your training, so show me what you have learned." She ordered as she goes into her battle stance, she brings her feet close together, one arm hunched upwards with the other slumped down with her hands sparkling with red electricity, swaying slightly with her coat moving along with her movements.

( Insert Song: Asura's Wrath OST= Wind Fang Yasha's Theme )

Seeing that time for words is over. Serena powers back up, a red aura wraps around her entire body immediately springs into action as she dashes towards Vlitra, rearing her left hand back into a fist, and throws a punch, Vlitra retaliates by swiping the attack with her hand and throws her own punch at her head, the cat Faunus tilts her head and brings a horizontal kick to her mentors' waist which was grabbed in a firm grip.

Then she was thrown to the opposite direction of the area. Serena tsks in frustration as she rights herself in midair and lands safely, she looks up and sees Vlitra already in front of her as she does a downward punch to her head, but she was having none of that as the young cat Faunus moves her head to the side and swing her right leg at Vlitra's feet, who then jumps up.

Far from finished, and to Vlitra's surprise; Serena then puts her back and hands on the ground, and mimics something called 'breakdancing', a spinning kick akin to a fast windmill which strikes home by hitting her crossed arms while still in in mid-air and sends her flying due to the strength that the much younger girl shouldn't have if it weren't for her heritage as a Demigod.

Vlitra grunts from the force the young girl could produce before she flips back into an upright position and flies upwards, summons her red ethereal blades in full glory before zooming towards Serena at high speeds like a lock-on missile with her blades behind her.

Seeing this, Serena coats her arms in a familiar set of ember and flames and goes in after her with a big leap, arms poised to strike.

And strike they did as the young cat faunus has her right arm colliding with her teachers' ethereal blade, the force caused a huge boom in the area as they stood there for three seconds until they jumped back to the ground.

Serena was the first one to land as she grabs a massive rectangle-boulder, causing cracks to appear from where her hands are, with a mighty heave, she throws it upwards and towards Vlitra like a catapult, the will of the planet cancels her blades, and with all her strength, backhands her entire left forearm on the massive rock into smithereens as if she were wearing a shield.

Shatter!

Only for Serena to appear in front of Vlitra in mid-jump with a right hook, but Vlitra catches it, who in turn throws her own right hook, only for Serena to catch it as consequence.

Thus, begins the struggle in trying to impose dominance over the other, in synchrony, they moved in between a huge crack, grunts and huffs were heard, then they pushed as one at each other, nothing happened at first, until a second push did, and a thud was heard.

Thud!

Not satisfied, they did one more push against each other, with Vlitra lifting her right leg, while Serena did the same with her left one, they put them down at the same time, and with a big push.

BANG!

A huge explosion occurred from the amount of strength was put into, causing the snow to blow outward from them and their respective clothes flapping rapidly, the whole place was no better as it was rumbling and the ground beneath them was cracking and they were spreading to the edges of the area, as if a mini earthquake was taking place, icy rocks were falling, ledges were breaking apart causing rockslides with a couple of more to go down with them, even half of the area is falling down and into the steep cliffs.

If anyone were to see this would be slack-jawed from the sheer magnitude of destruction caused by two people from simply doing essentially a pushing contest.

Serena and Vlitra were too stubborn trying to make one to submit over the other to notice the collateral damage being done, even when their upper bodies were slightly lining with the ground while grunts, huffs and puffs were emerging out of their mouths and noses.

They were like this for seven seconds before Serena decided that enough was enough, with gritted teeth, she pulls out her right arm and throws a punch, forcing Vlitra to let go of her other arm to block the punch with her forearms to form a cross, she slides back twenty meters away.

Then Serena appears before her, her right fist reared up and launches it in her stomach, then punches her again in the face, then swings her right fist upwards, colliding with Vlitra's chin, making her head to rear back from the amount of force put into it.

But Vlitra recovers quickly and throws her right hook to Serena's left cheek.

The cat faunus was stunned as her eyes were closed from the pain, before opening them back up as she brings her right fist at her.

But her master responds in kind by throwing her own punch with her right hand into Serena's own.

BAM!

A shockwave was seen and heard; it had enough force them to stumble back before throwing their respective left punch.

BAM!

The same thing happened again before they jumped back away from each other, before they dashed together, Serena brings her right knee at Vlitra, who blocked it with her right forearm, trying again, the young girl then brings her left forearm down that was blocked by the older woman's left forearm, then flashes their next attack by smashing their right fists, then switches to meeting their left elbows at each other.

After that became a flurry of fast paced kicks, punches, elbow strikes, sliding and low sweeping kicks, flipping in the air and causing snow to rise from the rising battle of attrition, followed by grunting and yelling.

Eventually, Serena gets a hit into her mentor's chest, sending her to slide back.

"AUUUGH!"

Vlitra snaps her head up with wide eyes as Serena appears before her, her right fist reared up and launches it in her face, which connects, the young Faunus removes her fist, throws a second one, this time right in the stomach, extracts that and does an uppercut to her chin with enough power to send her flying and spinning into a wall of rock.

BOOM!

Vlitra's back connects with a big explosion with a lot of shattered ice gathering up, the source of all Gohma extracts herself with her upper body limping like a puppet having its strings cut off, unknown to Serena, Vlitra was wearing a smirk, feeling pride within her chest from the girls progress, decided to end things here as it has been hours since they been going at it.

She disappears causing more snow to gather from the amount of speed, Serena's eyes widened in sheer shock from her mentor suddenly standing before her with her right hand on her hip.

Vlitra was appraising her for a moment before nodding in satisfaction. "You pick things up fast as ever young one." She praises, before a devilish thought occurred to her, and decided to take out a certain Demigod of greed's book, and it shows as a gleam in her eye sends a foreboding shiver down the Cat Faunus' spine, having a bad feeling of what is going to happen next.

And she is right as Vlitra rears her head upwards and exclaims. "Here's your reward!"

And brings it down on Serena, doing a headbutt so hard, Serena's face meets the ground with enough force to make the ground shake, and snow erupted from the impact, before the rest of her body goes limp.

But not before she thought 'That fiend!' Thus, rendered unconscious.

( End Song: Asura's Wrath OST Wind Fang= Yasha's Theme )

Huffing at her work, she gently grabs her young charge by the waist with her entire right arm, bringing her closely to her side, and starts walking back, all the while thinking back on that day.

In order to explain, one must rewind back the clock two years prior, when Serena was forced to be put in a temporal coma for her body to adapt the changes she had gone through.

And Vlitra remembered it very well even to this day.

---

( Flashback: Two Years Ago = Nighttime )

The very will of the planet itself was not happy, true, she is never happy about much of anything, demigods? Check. The seven deities? Hate them. Humanity? Goes without saying, and Asura? No rocket science involved with that last one. But what is currently making the very will of the planet to be very disgruntled about is that the place she is at right now.

'No, to be more accurate is the vermin infesting it.' Vlitra mused as her eyes narrowed from what's in front of her, clutching the still unconscious girl in her arms, currently wrapped in a blanket to protect her from the elements, Dust cawed and landed on a nearby lumps of rubble, Siegfried standing guard besides Vlitra, growling with his ears folded behind his head.

Standing before her is an abandoned village, that almost looks like a small city is crawling with Grimm and corpses lying about, one even in the grips of a mantis type Grimm, biting the corps like a corncob with blood and some guts spilling and dangling respectively. Safe to say is that there are no one left alive, as far as Vlitra's eyes can tell her, many more are heading this way, numbering in the hundreds of various Grimm.

There's enough Grimm to make an invasion.

This made Vlitra to narrow her eyes, she is no fool, the possibility of so many coming here is no coincidence, Grimm possess the ability to sense negative emotions from humans, drawn like moths to a flame.

And sometimes Vlitra's hatred for humanity unconsciously rises from her like a tsunami, attracting a lot of them that were heading her way in this village as a result, then again, the one called Salem must have managed to become aware of her existence in some way and found out her whereabouts, thus lead her black monstrosities here.

Two distinct possibilities that she can't put pass, but she can ignore it for what is occurring in the here and now.

Seeing enough, her eyes glow red as she decides to call upon her power, intending to 'clean house' as the humans like to say, raising one hand in the sky while holding Serena with the other, the build-up winds caused her hair and clothes flow like a scarf, the clear night skies become dark from the clouds gathering, blood colored lightning zapped in random intervals, the Grimm began to notice the ground is beginning to shake as smoke erupts from the hard surface.

And emerging from the ground is the returned Gohma, but this time instead of not only just the howlers, but a new kind that spawned alongside them, numbering in the hundreds that resemble to that of rhinos.

( Gohma Charger= Impurity level: 87 )

Under Vlitra's mental command, they attack with roars and howls, the Grimm were put off by the new enemies that weren't human or Faunus, Grimm are able to detect negative emotions, so to sense that these creatures that seem to embody a lot of rage made them pause from such an anomaly, that proved a mistake as a Beowolf was slammed by a charger, then right into a building, causing a dust cloud in the process.

Followed by an Ursa to be dogpiled by ten howlers. Followed by an Ursa to be dragged by ten Howlers, screeching and pummeling can be heard as flesh and bone were being torn from their hinges, squeals and howls being heard.

Far from done, Vlitra brought forth another type of Gohma to take care of the Nevermores, bringing forth twenty-two giant-like fish that are emerging from the clouds, one was lucky enough to take a massive bite on one of the Nevermore's where the wing meets the shoulder, making them spin in the air from the collision.

( Gohma Glider= Impurity level: 1,390 )

Next, she summons two specific Gohma that are spawning from the other side of the settlement, the first to appear is that of giant nine-meter turtles numbering in the hundreds, their shells having jagged spikes and red veins wrapping around the legs.

( Gohma Squasher: Impurity level= 680 )

Alongside them came just as much numbers and in much bigger shape and sizes, beasts in the height of 25 meters, more bulging red veins visible to see, a species of elephants equal or bigger to Grimm Goliath's, binging out their trunks in making trumpet noises as they March against the Grimm alongside with the Squasher's, Ray's and Glider's.

( Gohma Crusher: Impurity level=890 )

With all her Gohma going at it, she summons one more creature of her creation, to ensure that this specific Gohma protects both two animals and the last descendant while she heads to the front, she is not taking any chances of surprised attacks be they man or beast, gently putting Serena down to a nearby tree, she steps back several feet, looking back at the far end of the road where she arrived from, before raising her right hand in the air, red electricity dance around her entire arm and hand, before clenching it.

Black smoke more massive than the others, sprouting forth came a hybrid of both a head of a cobra, with the body of a turtle along with a forked, four-pronged tail, with the height of approximately one thousand meters, making it the biggest monster known and beholden only to her.

It then unleashes a mighty howl for the world to hear.

"HRRRRRHHHOOOAAAAAGGHHH!"

( Gohma Striker= Impurity level: 47,000 )

Vlitra grabs Serena's comatose form before jumping on the giant hybrids body, with a howler carrying Siegfried to follow suit, Dust was not too far behind, with but a mental command, the many red spikes shift and churn away before the center has only but one spike that turned into a crystal with an opening wide enough for a person to go into.

Placing her inside, Serena's body levitates in the center, the spiked crystal closes, the surface hardens to the point where her appointed charge is barely visible, preventing anyone or anything from daring to make any attempt on the young Faunus' life, turning to Siegfried who was released from the monkey Gohma, she began to talk to him.

"Siegfried. Keep watch over Serena while I am gone, Dust, you stay here as well." She ordered, both responded their own way as Vlitra jumps out, and clenched her fist as a dome of red spikes warped around the center like a dome, the last thing she saw was the peaceful look of the young descendant of Asura before focusing on her task.

( Insert Song: BattleTanx Soundtrack: Fremont Street )

THUD!

CRACK!

Ignoring the spider web cracks from the hard landing she made, Vlitra zooms in on a lone Ursa, within range it swipes at her, only for Vlitra to duck and grab the offending appendage and easily throws it in the air, then gets caught in the mouth of a glider passing by in the process, it then snaps it's teeth and half of the Grimm's body separates with blood flowing down like rain while the upper falls down with it, and the glider swallows with a big gulp.

She then sees twelve Beowolfs sprint at her just from across the street, thinking fast, she spots a crude shaped circular wall of concrete that was once connected to a building near her, walking towards it, she grabs the edges, pulls it, heedless of a dead male human body that is missing it's lower half likely from being crushed, she rotates counter-clockwise and throws it like one would to a giant Frisbee in high speeds.

SQUELCH!

BOOM!

The outcome is the spinning wall being the Victor as the wolfs were reduced to nothing but bits and pieces, they didn't even get the chance to react, much less make a noise, the spinning concrete collides with a building, crumbling from its foundations of the force.

Huffing in satisfaction, she jumps on top of the tallest building nearby with the grace of a gazelle, looking around as the battle of beasts is occurring everywhere; Grimm vs Gohma, explosions and puffs of smoke emerge randomly in different areas of this semi large city-like settlement with the buildings tumbling down from the impure monsters going at it like a bar fight.

Her eyes widened as her pupils dilate into demonic slits as she sees three alpha Nevermore's getting close to the striker, deeming it as a bigger threat, and are shooting their feathers away from its shell, thinking it is dangerous to get to close to the head and tail, so they aimed for those.

However, the giant sensed the danger, and make the spikes on its shell to glow menacingly as without warning…

"Destroy them." Vlitra mutters with a deadly tone.

SHHHHHHHUUUUUU!

Multiple red beams shoot out of its back, piercing the giant birds with pin point accuracy, the Nevermore's screech in pain as they fall to the surface, one is unlucky enough to die being impaled by the Strikers spikes from its shell before it's disintegrating body scatters to the winds.

( Shin Godzilla's Atomic Back Attack: Do not own )

Knowing that her charges within the beast is safe, Vlitra looks down on the edge and sees a total of four Beringel's climbing on top of the four-story building she is standing on, the first lunges into the sky and try to palm her to paste, but Vlitra saw it coming and moves to grab the arm, and slams it on the rooftop hard enough to make a dust cloud, resulting in making a big hole that she fell into the third floor with the Beringel along with it.

She swiftly regains her bearings and instinctively does a back kick into the torso of her attacker from behind with enough force send it flying to a bunch of working tables, papers scattering into the air from the impact before colliding with the wall that collapses on the monster.

This enrages the other Beringel as they soon entered the fray, Vlitra jumps from her spot immediately after, and dashes back at them, the Grimm respond in kind She slices one arm of the nearest one with her ethereal blade, making it scream, far from finished she then summons her second and cut's it's head off like a hot knife through butter, shutting it up immediately.

But the second one shoved the dead decaying fellow beast and rushes at her next, but she saw it coming and jumps to do a double kick into its chest, sending it flying towards out the window.

Vlitra lands on her back, but she places her hands on the ground above her head, and jumps back on her feet in time to block a swipe from the third gorilla Grimm, slapping the offending appendage, she moves in the beasts guard, and threw a punch into the chest, making a hole inside, it gasps as heat begins to radiate inside it and fire erupts from the back, making it go limp dead as it begins to decay, until nothing else remains.

Sensing the last Beringel that she back kicked earlier, its charging at her with rage in its eyes.

Seeing this chance, she jumps out the window and shoots a laser at her chaser in the head that pierced through the head killing it.

She lands and dashed behind the second one form earlier, grabs one of its legs, spins once, and she then casually throws the Beringel into the sky, and watch as a Glider grabs the Beringel's lower half with its mouth, with the Grimm struggling and squealing.

The glider silenced it by chomping down hard, blood sprayed with the gorilla to go limp and the upper half was thrown to the side runs at where she believes to be this places city square, the Gohma howlers will deal with them in her departure.

( End Song: BattleTanx Soundtrack: Fremont Street )

Not long before she arrives her intended designation, Vlitra slows down and walks forward and finds herself in the center of a wide area that is empty with only the buildings around her, and one much more taller building with multiple screens while having one main one that is bigger than the rest.

The ancient entity of the planet investigates the clouded sky as thunder begins to rumble, rain then to pour down on her. Vlitra was not bothered by it at the least, in fact, she welcomes it as she closes her eyes while dismissing the onslaught from afar that ended mid-point of her track here, now only a few of the Grimm remain, no doubt being killed off by her creations.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

Her eyes slowly open as she knows the Gohma Striker appears behind her with massive foot steps, it now stands behind the buildings awaiting further orders from its creator.

Turning around to it, she gives out a mental command to open the spikes, jumping onto the center of its shell came Dust and Siegfried perking for seeing her once more, Vlitra nods at them and moves to her desired objective inside the lone crystal Serena is in.

When she reaches it, Vlitra places her palm on its surface, the red crystal releases steam and out came the cat faunus floating there, while still sleeping even from all the noise being made.

Vlitra grabs her and jumps out, Dust following behind while the great white wolf was escorted out, courtesy of the howler.

Soon landing in front of a large building opposite of the other building with the massive T.V screen is no doubt a hotel and entered inside while the colossal hybrid guards outside, Siegfried shortly after being released and the lights are on and the interior is surprisingly undamaged from this nights fiasco, but then again this was a recent attack and the Grimm don't take interest in power generators. Scanning the area, it is deserted yet no damage was caused here.

'Perhaps the people were warned before the attack started? This whole place is void of humans save for a few dead ones, and I didn't detect even a single soul through my Gohma at all during the battle.'

Shaking her head of those thoughts, she scans to see an elevator, deciding to take highest floor to have the overview of the whole place, she goes in with the wolf and bird not too far behind, pressing a number for the highest floor, and up they went.

( Unknown location )

( Insert song: End of Silence-Blood Moon{Feat. Alexa Ray} )

Eyes slowly open to reveal nothing but darkness that seem to be twisting all around her, not certain as to why she is floating in the middle of it all, much less sure which way is up or down, left or right, only to look 'down' and close her eyes and thoughts start to move at the forefront of her mind.

'What is this…?'

'What is all of this…?'

'Is this a dream…?'

'If so, then what am I supposed to be dreaming about…?'

'And more importantly, who… or what… am I…?'

So many questions left unanswered, not knowing on what to do other than to open her eyes again, only to see another person floating before her, except for one detail.

'Is that… me?'

Indeed, for the one floating before her is herself, like staring into a mirror, unmoving, staring blankly without blinking with those dead, hollowed eyes, peering through her, much to her own discomfort.

However.

'Mother...? Father...?' She thought silently.

True enough, her other self was then now accompanied by two other adults that appeared in bluish particles, recognizing them as her parents, except their clothes were dirtied and in tatters, wear and tears, here and there, scars and cuts on some parts on their person in various spots.

Soon after, the black void begins to change and morph into a village, one that she lived in, a peaceful place to be in without Grimm and bandits to disturb it.

But the difference was that it is now burned to the ground, trees are on fire, and the most horrifying thing is the sight of burned corpses that are only skeletons that looked like they were trying to escape from the underground bunker but failed horribly.

'My home, why is it on fire? Why are these people dead? What caused this tragedy to happen? Just what is going on?' Were the various, and valid questions moving through her mind. But the situation does not end there.

For without warning, she sees her parents and her other self's own feet began to burn up in flames, slowly moving up to their knees, panicking, she tried running to them in hopes of not losing them too.

Keyword being tried as if she was dragging her feet through black tar that is not even there.

Not showing any signs of pain however, the fire has slowly ate away at their knees, they raised their hands to her with melancholic expressions, when the fire met their waists, desperation and adrenaline only filled her as she tries to reach them, her voice locked in place so no sound escapes her mouth, doesn't help as her movements were slow and sluggish, not soon after their entire being is engulfed in flames until they burst into ashes, much to her horror and despair.

Then flashes of memories started to come back to her with a force of a freight train, clutching her head in pain as memories of what happened, the time when her village was being attacked without warning, images of innocent people dying, dragged by the hair, or just being outright killed in horrendous ways.

But it did not stop there.

Another memory flashed in her mind's eye, images of coming close to being raped by a monster in the skin of a human, and fast forwarding to the battle of her savior against another young woman, who lost badly.

And when she sees the one responsible for all the misery wrought upon her and many others, as well as their death's, along with her parents.

"Now do you see?"

She snaps to the right to look at the very cause of her current plight, knowing it is a woman judging by the sound her voice being feminine, who's upper face is covered in shadow, but recognizes her enough.

"What?" Serena muttered in warning.

"The strong survive, and the weak will die, those are the rules that has been followed for a long time, it is the natural order of things." The person claimed, crossing her arms, Serena can tell even with her face covered in shadows, she can practically sense that there is a smug grin stretching on her tormentors' lips, while completely ignoring the threatening tone She gave.

"Shut up! Where do you get off saying all of this!?" She yells loudly, without thinking, she charges at her, throws a punch, only for her to vanish, appearing on the far right, placing a hand on her hip.

"I am just stating the truth. You seem like a smart girl, so why is it so hard to understand such a fact that is so simple, even you can see it? Surely you were taught that much?" She inquired with her eyebrow raised condescendingly.

Serena hisses at her with her cat ears folding on top of her head, her eyes glaring daggers at her from the sheer gall of this woman. "That is not for you to decide!" She retorted angrily, unknowingly repeating the same words of her once mighty ancestor not known to her.

The woman only scoffed at the response. "And yet, your parents themselves are weak, thus naturally their demise is to be expected, but it makes it no less pathetic considering that you somehow survived, the best part is that you will never, ever see them again, know this, if their flesh and bones weren't burned from the explosion, they would have been food for the vulture's by now." She cruelly said with a sneer.

"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!?" Serena yells loudly in absolute anger.

"God." She replied arrogantly before vanishing completely without a trace.

That did it, the second she disappeared, a pulse was felt within her heart, making her chest go upwards from an unseen force. Before falling to her knees and clench her chest in pain with her left hand and gripping the ground with her right.

Tears leak out of her eyes like a waterfall as she begins to weep in sorrow and despair, her face is covered in shadows from the horrid realization that her family is dead, and they are never coming back, hiccups and whimpers leave her lips.

It felt like several hours before her crying ceased, but at the end of that despair came another feeling. Like that of a small, insignificant spark that's been slowly growing into a bonfire.

The happy times when she was just much younger flash in her mind.

Having dinner with her family.

Walking with her mother while other pass by, who waved at them in greetings.

Napping on the couch in her father's office.

Playing with other children and climbing up some trees on occasions with innocent laughter echoing in her ears.

Serena's lips were now shaking as they slowly turn into an animalistic snarl as her memories keep coming, which made it even more painfully worse knowing that they are dead, she is starting to breathe heavily while her mouth slightly opens, showing canine teeth becoming even more sharper as her eyes were slowly opening, once innocent blue, now reveals blood red slit eyes while her upper face is still covered in shadows, without warning, she throws her head back.

"RAAAAVVVVVEEEEEEN!"

With a cry. Serena's rage exploded from within her with the strength of a thousand suns going super nova in a very close proximity.

Slamming her fists into the ground, causing massive spider web cracks, eyes shining red as her clothes were torn to shreds, her body begins to glow with tribal like tattoos around her body embedding into her skin, steam and crimson red embers erupt from her body, burning herself due to the power fluctuation.

But she doesn't give a damn!

Her body was growing a few inches taller in order to compensate, embers and deadly red electricity were swirling and dancing around her, and her once, smooth black hair morphs to the color of snow white, spiky hair as she screams out beyond ahead.

If Serena were to look behind her, she would see a shadow mimicking her bodies movements, that had a visage of a demon with four massive glowing arms, but she was beyond caring about anything that's happening around her as her mind has been completely shattered, with one thought repeating.

'I'll kill her...'

'I'll kill her...'

'I'll kill her...'

'I'll kill her...'

Getting back up on her feet with her shoulders shaking uncontrollably, she yells ahead of her in clear sorrow, anger and pain that lays deep in her heart, closing her eyes before opening them again a second later as she throws her head back, arms to her sides, and release a tearfully-wrathful cry as the power of wrath rises around her and her hair flairs wildly from the rising power.

Eyes wide and shining red with pure unyielding rage, with fresh more tears falling from her lids all the way down to her chin, even when droplets evaporate. along with an unholy roar from the monster behind her, moving together in perfect synchrony.

'I'LL FUCKING KILL HER!'

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHGGGGGG!"

"RRRRRHHHHHOOOAAAAAAAARRRHH!"

And her power causes a massive explosion, leaving everything in a flash of white.

BOOM!

( End song: End of Silence-Blood moon{Feat. Alexa Ray} )

---

"Augh!"

Serena wakes up from the hellish, but vividly detailed nightmare with a little jump, setting herself up, he is breathing heavily as sweat poured down her face, rubbing her hands on her face to rid herself of the sweat and tears.

Once finished, she looks down to see herself wearing gray shirt and pajama bottoms, a blanket on her lap, looking further to see herself in a rectangular, queen size bed with a nightstand on the left side, averting her gaze out through the large window closely to the right side of the bed, she sees rain occurring outside from a highest point.

She concludes she is inside of a penthouse if the large luxurious room is of any note, and the clock hanging on the wall points to be 8:14 A.M. Meaning it's the start of the morning.

Looking outside again only for her to freeze at what she saw.

A monstrosity of colossal size, far bigger than anything she has ever seen in her life. And being barely covered by fog and howling winds and occasional flashes of lightning to illuminate a little more of its appearance, it's shape from what she can tell looks like a demonic mix between cobra snake for a head with the body of a turtle that have red jagged spikes on its upper shell, currently standing in front of the gates like it is on standby.

Since it is not doing anything but stand there, still as a statue minus the head moving and turning at other areas like a sentry.

Her ears folded behind her head as her body is shaking with sweat sliding out of their pores, her red eyes gone wide and shrunk at the same time in fear from something that looks like a stuff of nightmares come to life, instincts screaming at her to run as fast as she can, but all she can do is sit there on the verge of hiding under the blankets and curl like a ball and let out a whimper.

"You are awake." Luckily, she doesn't have to do anything as a feminine voice cleared her mind from her fear-induced state.

Snapping her head to the left, the young cat faunus is pleasantly surprised to see...

"Miss Vlitra?" Serena asked tentatively while keeping guard on the monster.

Indeed, as Vlitra is presently not wearing her usual outfit, for her coat is held by a coat hanger nearby, still in her long black pants and boots, she reveals to wear a skin-tight black body suit that serves like some sort of sports bra, with a slit in her chest area, showing some cleavage, red tribal-lined tattoos are on display around her body, brimmed with life as it seem to have an ethereal glow to them. (2)

With the black gloves currently removed to show red tribal like markings all around her arms interlining at the back of her hand that have circles with a ripple pattern while the center having a slit pupil.

While wearing a white apron, holding by the handles is a tray carrying a bowl of cereal, glass of milk with buttered toast fresh out the toaster, and a washing clothe.

Siegfried and Dust's heads turn to the younger girl, the wolf walks to the other side of the bed, and nuzzles his nose against the little girls' shoulder with a whine, who in turn scratches his ears, getting a growl in pleasure, Dust stands on the headboard

The ancient source of all Gohma nodded as she placed the tray on the young cat Faunus's lap, folded legs came down revealing it to be a bed tray. "Yes, how do you feel?" Vlitra inquires as she begins to wipe the sweat from her face with a rag.

The young girl said nothing for a moment, before replying in gratitude with a smile. "I'm alright, thank you for asking." Hearing this, Vlitra sighed and continues. "Glad to hear it, and I know that you have questions for me to answer, especially in concerns with the big guy outside. But for right now, it is best for you to eat your breakfast." She said, she finished wiping the tears and sweat from the young girl.

Nightmares more likely.

"But-" Only to be interrupted by a gentle karate chop to the forehead, making her yelp, and she looks up to the slight glare Vlitra was aiming her with.

Don't argue." She commanded sternly, knowing that she would ask about the Striker outside the front gates, but she is not ready to know.

Yet.

The young demigod shuts her mouth, but it didn't stop her from pouting at her for being scolded while rubbing her head, but when Vlitra raised an eyebrow in a challenging fashion, she relents as she sighs quietly, and starts eating, aside from her eating, everything else is silent and peaceful.

Vlitra hmm's silently in satisfaction as she walks back to the kitchen and remove the apron and place it on the kitchen counter.

She returns and sits down on a comfy chair, with her left leg crossed over her right in a regal fashion and resting her right arm on the chairs armrest with her left supporting her head by placing her knuckles on her cheek, closing her eyes to enjoy the comfortable silence while discreetly linking herself with her Gohma through shared vision to see anything from the outside for any possible malevolent intruders.

Grimm? Human? Faunus? It matters little which comes first, they'll die all the same.

The dark entity of the world frowns as she links herself with a howler that is watching other howlers having a scuffle with thirty-nine Beringel's in the forest's undergrowth east from here, way outside of the settlement walls, while another vision shows chargers duking it out with the creeps.

The Crushers were having a tussle against their Grimm counterparts while Squasher's were beating down the smaller Grimm of Beowolfs, Ursa's and occasional Death stalkers as the stingers do little to harm their protective shells, one Squasher even manage to bite off the tail of another scorpion-based Grimm with ease, making Vlitra have her lips twitched slightly upwards in silent pride and satisfaction.

It just shows that her Gohma were more superior than Salem's precious Grimm in any day of the week.

Oh sure, there were plenty of casualties on the Gohma's side, but the Grimm were losing more numbers as much as her Gohma were getting killed, and even if they manage to kill them, they will have to face the Striker that is daring them to try and come near.

It was a massacre overall.

"Miss Vlitra?"

So deep into her trance she slightly jumped from Serena's voice, she looks at the young girl's direction, and notices that the child finished eating.

"Yes, young one?" She answered back.

"Are you alright? I mean, you look like you were thinking deeply about something, what is wrong?"

Vlitra mentally cursed herself for not paying attention before glancing back, thinking quickly. "I am alright little one, just thinking to myself, it's nothing for you to worry about. By the way, you should take look at yourself in the mirror." She gestures at the mirror near the closet, diverging the topic

Serena tilts her head in a cutely manner with a question mark on top of her head as her right cat ear twitched, wondering by what got her older companion to jump so easily, but walks to the mirror

'That's adorable!' Unknown to her, Vlitra's left eye twitched from the young girls' albeit unintentional action, if the circumstance weren't so serious, she might have pounced and proceed to glomp the young child, she lightly shakes her head as she sees Serina to nearly slip on her feet.

"What the?" She breathes out for what she sees before her.

Staring right back at her is a girl with snow white hair that reached mid back, with matching white cat ears, crimson red eyes with her pupils still being slits due to her heritage as a cat faunus, wearing nothing but a white t shirt and blue jean shorts, noticing something else underneath her shirt, she lifts it up, but not enough to expose herself, and she is bewildered further by what she sees.

Similar markings as red as blood akin to slightly thick bars wrap around her body reminds her of Vlitra's own tattoos, but the patterns are too different. For they wrapped up to her collarbone, and two extra more at the bottom parts on her hips that are symmetrically aligned together, with x-shaped crosses on her bicep section. (3)

"What happened to me? Why do I look like this?" Serena mutters out loud, checking every part of her body from this insane phenomenon, and she would have continued and suffer a possible panic attack, but a cough snatches her attention away, looking back at the older woman that was still sitting on the chair with her arms crossed, a Stern look sent her way.

"You mean you don't remember what happened?" She inquired, paying no mind to the howling winds beating against the windows in the background.

Remembering of what happened to her home came rushing back, Serena unknowingly clenched her fists as memories came rushing back, Vlitra noticed, but remains silent.

"I remember alright, all of it, but some parts of my memory are blank on what happened at the end." She answered, her face scrunches up as some parts of her memories were blotched from her highly emotional breakdown, her mind shutting down afterwards from all the stress at that horrible night, the face of Raven flashes in her mind's eye which in turn to cause her anger to rise, she snarls as her tattoos began to glow in response to said anger.

This caused Vlitra's own eyes to narrow sharply, noticing the temperature started to rise, a familiar power threatens to come out from the girl. Deciding to stop it before it escalates, she gets up from the chair and walks towards the young faunus, place her hands on her shoulders to snap her out of her angry trance.

"Calm yourself child, you'll burn down the building if you lose yourself to your anger." She commanded sternly, but not unkindly, while also mentally adding the Grimm could come this way from her negative emotions.

Serena's ears perked up. "What do you mean by that?"

Vlitra stared at her straight in the eye, making her squirm from their intensity. "Because you Serena, have awakened a power, that has not been seen for a very long time. From the ages that has long since passed." She revealed, memories of Asura came to the forefront of her mind.

Serena's face furrows, she parts her lips as another question formed in her mind. "What are you talking about?" She asked, hoping she doesn't sound rude to her.

Thankfully she wasn't, because Vlitra was expecting that specific question. "I'm talking about of your true heritage, for you see. You are more than just a faunus young one, you belong to another race that has long since thought died off. You Serena, are a demigod." Vlitra revealed to the young girl.

Normally it's not a good idea to reveal such information so early, but circumstances dictate otherwise as the young girls' sole survival depends on it, and she needs all the help she can get. While Vlitra herself may indeed be powerful, Serena is not and is still vulnerable to the arms of death, so therefore, it's up to her to help the child.

If one were to ask why Vlitra is doing this? Why is she spending her time and energy to help and protect the very descendant of her old enemy from the distant past not even remembered on this day and age? Because in some twisted sense of irony, she couldn't help but silently thanked Asura for defeating her at that final battle inside the planet, if it were not for him then she wouldn't even be here getting a second chance at life.

And at revenge against both Salem and the two God's if they would ever so much as dare approach her.

She is at an impasse with this man called Ozpin though, on one hand, he has something that should never have been given to a human at all, because immortality is a curse just as much as it is being a blessing. A double-edged sword that can go wrong at any time, if an immortal is not careful on how to use it, and as well as depending on how they lived their first life.

But on the other hand, jumping from body to body is far from the traditional kind of immortality she is familiar with, it is more along the lines of being a self-aware reincarnation process, so technically he wasn't cheating death, simply just starting life all over with a clearly younger individual.

Salem, however, that's a different story.

Recalling Summers memories that Salem has lived for ten centuries and have been fighting against Ozpin in that same timeframe, the latter reincarnating throughout the generations that has a like mind with the old soul who was burdened with, while the former has not once since died.

Therefore, Salem has the traditional immortality that cheats death and disrupting the balance.

Now she is the one that needs to die.

And if she can't die no matter how much her body was torn to shreds?

Well, just like they say, there are fates worse than death once she grabs hold of her soul personally and rip it out.

Even though they never even met, she has this feeling in her gut that they, as in Salem and the two gods of Light and Darkness, or at least one of them, may have a hand at the shattered moon as it is today.

Which would explain why the tides are much higher than they should be.

The white hair child's own eyes become wide with shock from that tidbit, naturally she can't control the shout erupting from her lips. "WHAT!" That resulted furniture and other items to hit the floor from her untapped power that is formed as red cinders.

"Serena!" Vlitra commanded with authority, her hands still holding the much younger girls' shoulders, not bothered by the force of her power except her hair and clothes.

Said girl tensed up tense as she heard her name spoken. "I said calm down, take deep breaths, and don't lose control of yourself."

Doing as she was told, albeit reluctantly, she took very deep breaths to calm herself, immediately her power recedes back in her body, feeling more subdued.

Her reaction is understandable, she had heard of stories and several fairy tales that involve a race of being half human and half god, but such a story being true, and she is one is unexpected and a lot to take in.

She would have denied it of course, but staring into the older woman's eyes, a part of her was telling her that no way she is lying.

Vlitra's eyes soften slightly from their stern look before continuing. "As I said before, you are born with a heritage that that has not been seen for a long time young one, however. The power it once carried is nothing more than a vestige of the past. Even so, with my guidance, you will be able bring it back at the height it once had before, it will be more than enough to make you a formidable force against your enemies." She promised her.

"What do you mean?" Serena asked.

"I mean that I decided that I am going to train you myself, personally." Vlitra shortly declares.

Serena's eyes shot open widely, with her ears perked upwards at the thought of being trained by Vlitra, she has seen her fight before, it left her awed, and it almost made her giddy.

And it shows as she was vibrating on the spot.

"But." Serena looks back up at Vlitra who is peering at her in the eye. "Whether you like to learn under me is entirely up to you, the training I will set out for you will be harsh, it will be difficult, and it will almost be cruel in its performance. I will not fault you if you decline my offer, if you do, then I will place you somewhere in an orphanage, where you-"

"I accept." Vlitra's eyes widened slightly from such a quick answer and is even more surprised from the glare she is giving her right now.

"I have said before that I made the promise of vengeance against the Branwen tribe, to avenge my family and my home after what they have done, and if this is the only way to gain power, then so be it. Once I'm deemed ready, I will hunt down Raven and her tribe with all that I am. I will not rest, I will not plan to make it quick or painless for them, and when I am done of making them feel the pain that I have felt."

Vlitra felt a shiver going up her spine from what she said next.

"I will make sure to savor every second from watching them burn." Her eyes glowed menacingly as she spoke her vow. Vlitra then sees Serena's body becomes covered in shadow, a figure morphs into a familiar visage of a six-armed demon glaring right at her, almost daring her to try and deny her this.

Vlitra only has one thought coursing through her mind.

'Oh Raven. I hope the day comes when you come prepared to reap what you've sown, because you've just created a monster of your own making. The only kind that has been more sinister than I once was all those millions of years ago.'

---

( Flashback: Two years = Ended )

From that day, Vlitra planned for Serena to be trained from the ground up, bones been broken, blood was spilt, and tears were shed, while also giving her the best education that is required to survive in this world.

But most importantly is to have Serena one day live her own life, to be independent and part ways from Vlitra when the time comes, and afterwards? Who knows, the young child might even find herself a significant other to claim as her own one day.

She doesn't want to be too close to the hip with the young one, much less stay with her forever, simply since she will die one day, be they from her enemies, or natural causes of old age.

True, Serena inherited the long lifespan that Demigods have are far longer than any humans. However, Vlitra herself will outlive her by a very huge margin since her life is connected to the planets.

Her own death won't happen in a very long time.

Shaking her head from memory lane, she looks back down on the young Demigod, before looking ahead, extending her free hand, she summons a red and black portal levitating in mid-air, and did a huge leap and into the freezing skies covered in the blizzard.

( Hours Later: Third POV )

A groan reverberates as Serena wakes up from her slumber, her eyes blurry from opening, as soon she focused more, she sees herself in a large bed with furs as blankets, concluding she is inside of a house that was abandoned in the upper regions of Mistral if she were guessing correctly, no doubt her master teleported themselves here.

Getting up, she stretches her back with the satisfying pop from her spine, she turns her head outside the window to have a look see.

When she means by house, she means a large, abandoned mansion located a little far away from civilization, nothing but wildlife and trees as far as the eye can see, it is cold enough to wear heavy clothing, yet in the same breath it is hot enough for plenty of other animals and critters to thrive in, depending on the time of seasons.

Her face gets a faraway look when her mind begins to wonder back when she was under the harshest parts of her training.

Endurance and strength development.

---

( Flashback: First Month of Training )

Currently in one wide open area of the dense forests of Mistral, we see Vlitra and a thirteen-year-old Serena standing before each other, the young faunus was wearing nothing but a grey shirt, matching shorts and having her hair in a ponytail so it doesn't get in the way, with the multiple Gohma howlers surrounding them.

"So, are you ready for the first part of your training?" Vlitra said seriously.

The cat faunus nodded just as seriously, not saying a word as she raised her arms in preparation.

Vlitra closed her for a few moments, snapping them open and said three words with a tone of a drill instructor.

"Let's do it!"

Like a signal, two howlers each moved to her feet and placed three heavy rocks around her legs and tied them up with strong green vine ropes, then two each more did the same with her arms, Serena grunts with some effort as she buckles from the weights from her slightly scrawny arms.

But she is forced to squat from the heaviest weight she had ever felt landed on her back, more ropes strapped on around her shoulders and armpits like a backpack would, from nine other howlers in quick succession.

Placing her arms behind her to carry the big boulder to maintain balance, she is grunting in exertion, sweat begins to drip from her forehead, shakily taking a step and after the next one, she sees Vlitra jumping like a gazelle, with her howlers not too far behind.

Seeing this, she tried to move to the hill up while clenching her teeth.

43 minutes later, next came the part of climbing up the ropes, one can imagine that it was a lot harder than it sounds. Serena's arms were shaking badly in every attempt, with Vlitra observing from one of the large branches as her arms were crossed underneath her bust.

Thinking, the physical strength of a demigod is abnormally higher than any humans, able to carry heavier things with herculean strength, but it isn't worth a damn if you don't work for it, develop it, nurture it, that is best way to gain it while a demigod is still young, the same goes with speed, but that comes later.

But the age of demigods has long since ended, barring the young cat faunus below her, although the power has been deluded throughout the eons, it can be brought back on top once again, considering on the account that the mantra of wrath is the most enduring out of all the emotions associated with the other seven mantra affinities.

'Rage never dies.' Vlitra thought with her eyes closed as she took a deep breath through her nose.

She snaps her eyes open as her ears pick up on the three howlers that were on top of the rope Serena is using to climb up with, and her red colored eyes focus on the rope.

Which is starting to make a tearing noise.

SNAP!

With a snap, Serena falls back down to the hard surface with a huge thud.

The first howler on the left covered its mouth with its right hand, the middle covering its eyes, and the right covered its ears.

Vlitra blinked twice and had to do double take with a strange expression on her face and raised eyebrow from the odd behavior of what her Gohma just displayed. But she closed her eyes, sighed and shook her head.

She can already tell that this is going to be a long training session.

---

( Flashback Time-skip: Seventh month of training )

Serena crouches calmly as she spots a deer from far ahead, wearing a camo hoodie with matching long pants to match the environment around her, having her hood up, still calm, she pulls out a big longbow from her back, and an arrow from her holster, nocks it and aims at the deer with a deep inhale, and slowly exhales…

And lets the arrow fly.

Thump!

And the arrow hits true as the deer was hit right in the sides, and it squeals in pain and starts thrashing around before it falls on the ground kicking its legs.

Serena walks in front of it, and gently pets it on the neck, closes her eyes in silent grace, before pulling out a knife and quickly jams it into the animal, ending its life quickly.

When its struggling ceased, she wrapped her arms around its waist, with a slight heave, she picks it up like a sack of potatoes, and left the area.

---

( Flashback Time-skip: Thirteenth month of training )

"Here we are Serena, welcome to the coldest mountains in all of Atlas." Vlitra announced, and when she turned around, she see's Serena with her hair tied into a ponytail, wearing a teal jacket, long black pants and running shoes.

And she was shivering from the cold.

Dust and Siegfried were nearby watching things unfold and not interfering.

"What are we supposed to be here for? I don't see anything that could be considered as training." She stated with her teeth chattering from the cold while rubbing her arms in hopes to get warmer.

BAM!

The cat faunus jumps in surprise when Vlitra slams her fist into the wall, causing massive cracks to appear in a spider web like pattern.

"The objective of this training session young one is to toughen you up against harsh climates that you will have to face later on in the future, to start things off, you are to climb to the very top of this mountain the second I marked here, and once I command a blizzard to hit in full force, that is when you start, but, should you lose your grip and fall, you are to try and climb again, and again, and not stop until you reached to the said top." She stated strictly.

Serena balked at that and thought she was crazy, until remembering that she is told that she is not a mortal girl anymore, she carries the blood of the demigods of old that were trained to survive the harshest conditions they were put through, and a full human would die from this kind of training.

Veteran Huntsman or not.

Remembering that she has a vow to uphold, so she has swallowed any complaints threatening to come out of her mouth and take it in strides, since she knows that whining won't get her anywhere.

The last time she did, it made things worse for herself, she had received some 'disciplinary procedures' from Vlitra.

The threats of ear twists are real.

"When do we start?" She quizzed firmly as she composed herself, and seeing this, Vlitra was inwardly surprised from the turnaround, but is also a little proud of her maturity and remembering where her priorities lie.

So, with that said, Vlitra brings forth her power over nature to raise up the winds, forming a blizzard snow is beginning to build up.

"Your next stage of training starts now Serena, good luck, and I will see you at the top!" She declared loudly over the raging winds before jumping into the snow storm like a rocket without issue and disappeared without a trace.

Serena hearing the signal, begins to grab the on and with some effort she begins to climb, thanks to the strength she has on her demigod side, she a little bit more stamina than others in her age, but it is still underdeveloped by demigod standards.

So hence why she was here for, to develop those arms muscles along with her leg ones while under severe weather conditions beating down on her.

"Hah!" She tried jumping to reach up from a gap standing in her way.

Unfortunately, an unexpected force of wind hindered her enough to start falling back down.

BOOM!

Hard.

"Ow~ that hurts." She groaned in pain from falling on her back, but she gets up and tries again, she reached a little farther than last time in about 100 meters.

"Shit!" Right until she lost her grip from a loose rock, causing an effect for huge chunk of rocks to be chipped off, bringing her back down.

But Serena managed to reach to the wall just in time to grab a huge cracked line to slip her fingers in, while hugging her body to the wall to avoid the falling rocks from hitting her she sighed in relief and moves on with a leap.

100 meters down, 8,848 more to go.

---

( Countless Hours Later )

'Damn it.'

Sweat and tiredness was getting to her and her hands are getting sore as time progresses, her arms are shaking from exertion, not making her time any better, every part of her is shaking, along with the cold getting to her.

When she looks up, an image of Raven appears standing on the wall like she doesn't give a damn about the laws of gravity, staring down on her with a smug grin, if anything, that pissed her to no end.

'Damnit… Damnit… Damnit…

Teeth clenched and her shaking became more noticeable as embers began to spring forth out of her body, and memories of her would-be rapist, her villages destruction, and above all else, her family's death flashes in her mind.

And her emotions exploded.

"DAMMIIIIIIIIIT!"

With a roar, her eyes began to glow red as she began to start climbing at a frightening rate, snarling, grunting and yelling, unknown to her, another image follows her exact movements alongside her.

A man with short, spiky white hair, glowing white eyes, a body made of hard metallic materials instead of flesh, included with a six pack, with many tribal tattoos and marks are etched around his entire upper body that has arms made of gold, wearing nothing but blue hakama trousers with red swirling flames, wrapping around with a torn golden waist sash hanging with a loincloth at the front, his right leg trousers barely held onto by a gold greave with his left trouser leg concealing his left leg entirely

With a mighty big leap on an outward piece of rock wide enough for her feet to stand on, she made a huge jump, her chest close to the wall, she leans back, and starts running on the mountain wall, with her arms dragging behind her.

Serena breaths heavily, and with a big breath.

"EUUUUUUUAAAAGGGGGHHH!"

She yells through the blizzard and out to the heavens as the figure beside her vanishes when she entered to the clouds in fast speeds.

Serena pierced through the clouds, and jumps high when her feet touched edge of a cliff, and slowly descends, and lands roughly, leaving her to tumble on her step in a roll, soon she stops and lays for several seconds, and gets up on her hands and knees, trying to catch her breath.

"Well done."

She brings her head and see's Vlitra standing on top of a boulder with her clothes and long hair dancing with the blizzard wind's like a scarf.

Serena sees herself at the top of the mountain with the sea of clouds blocking the grounds surface, with some other mountains peeking through. Behind her master, the sun sets down into the clouds from the horizon in the afternoon, with more sea of clouds floating above it, making a very beautiful sight to behold.

"You have made it before the sun could make halfway, congratulations Serena, you have passed todays training, come, here's a cave I made before the night hits." She gestures her arm to the young girl to follow her.

Turning her direction where she walking, and true to her world, there is a cave that looked like it was made by hand, no doubt with Vlitra responsible for that, but something clicked in her head.

"Wait! What about Siegfried and Dust?!" She asked loudly in concern.

Not stopping her stride, she replies to her student. "They are inside the cave, I had my Gohma to pick them up during your climb up here."

Serena sighs in relief, she loves both the wolf and bird, despite her being a cat faunus, she is not afraid of Siegfried at all.

So, she follows her with anticipation to sleep like a rock from what she went through.

Inside the cave are essentials enough to make it through tonight, with two sleeping bags, while a big campfire that has twenty fishes and rows of chicken being roasted with sticks inside of them from the mouth to the tail end.

The smell is enough to make her stomach growl and blushed when Vlitra turned to her with a raised eyebrow in underlined amusement. Serena turned her head away with a huff and crossing her arms and sticking her nose up in the air with a pouty face, eyes closed.

Vlitra shook her head at that, reminded that she is still just a child.

"Sit by the fire little one, dinner is almost done." She gestured the child to come closer as she did a last rotating.

Serena did obediently, she sits on a log that is on the other side of the fire, she now sits in front of her master who now placed the cooked fish by the end of the sticks on a flat stone with a cloth on top of it, and true to Vlitra's words, the fish were finished and drool slips past Serena's lips as stars replaced her eyes as her heart is beating in delight as she stares at the cooked fish.

"Here." The older woman then gives seven for Serena as she knows she has a big appetite from what she went through.

Who basically wasted no time to yank the fish out of her hands and begins to devour them like crazy.

The personification of the planet shakes her head in amusement at her charges behavior and eats her own fish in a calm pace.

She doesn't really need to eat, but it doesn't stop her taste buds and cravings though.

Minutes went by and Serena flops on her sleeping bag, all full from the fish she had ate tonight, a puff of air erupts out of her mouth in satisfaction, Siegfried, lying next to her and Dust shuffling on a nest, made by Vlitra.

"Miss Vlitra?" The child's voice made her pause from her ministrations on Dust, then turn her attention to her young disciple.

"What is it, child?"

Serena shuffles a little in nervousness, before building enough courage to speak. "I know that this is sudden, if not a little too personal, but just what were those creatures that you can control that are like the Grimm? And the power you wield, controlling the weather, are you one of the maidens from the fairy tales I've read before?"

Vlitra raised an eyebrow on that, pausing on how to go about this, but she sighs and sits down on the log.

"I was beginning to wonder when you will ask me this, and to answer your first question, well, to simply put, I'm not human." She replied.

Serena blinked in confusion. "So, what you are saying is that you are some kind of faunus?" She tilts her head in confusion.

She becomes even further confused when Vlitra shakes her head in a negative. "No. I am not a faunus either, and those creatures you are talking about are called the Gohma, they are beasts that are beholden only to me, and have been around since way before the Grimm even came to existence." She informed.

The cat faunus' ears perked up from that last bit. "Really?" Her eyes widened in curiosity. Eager to learn more.

Vlitra nodded. "Really, and to your last question, is that no. I'm no maiden, nor do I align to any season whatsoever."

Not a lie, but it's not the full truth either, she can in fact control all that is connected to nature itself. Turning a dessert into the biggest and greatest Oasis in the middle of Vacuo? Even that is not out of the question for her when she puts her mind to it, so being the will of the planet, it comes with the expected territory that pretty much goes without saying.

Serena pursed her lips and inquires. "So, wait. If you are not a human or a faunus, then what are you? You look like a human to me, and you certainly don't carry off a scent that a faunus in general would give."

Vlitra closes her eyes for a few seconds, then opens them, stands up and walks to Serena right through the fire without signs of her or her clothes being burned. Serena was not affected by this because she has witnessed many times what her caretaker can do, things that pretty much defies the laws of physics.

She places her hand on the child's head, who was confused by this gesture. "I am not human or faunus, simply because that I am much more than anything in this world, do take heed that what I am about to tell is something you won't come close to believing."

The demigod descendant frowned. "Such as...?" She trailed off.

Vlitra let's go and return's back to her log, sits down and leans forward.

"Such as when I revealed to you about being a demigod, what the Gohma were and exactly why you are much more stronger and faster than other children your age, and it's not even including the most top rated students in the huntsman academies that couldn't come close to the feats you've done under my guidance." She listed.

She had Serena to attend tournaments on occasions to face foes that we're much more experienced and more smarter than her, to gain further experience while also ordering her protégé to refrain from using her power too their full extent, that way as both a means not to draw attention to themselves, and not rely so heavily on her mantra of wrath constantly.

Using it too much can be costly.

"Doesn't help as to why the link between your heritage and my secret past is very inextricable." She stated a second later.

So it was, she begins to tell the forgotten history that dates back over eight-hundred and seventy million years ago. The golden age of demigods that had a physiology akin to being cyborgs, much to a starry Serena when hearing this, and they had mantra, the life-giving energy they cultivated for their daily lives with the mantra reactor as the focal point, with eight special elite demigods known as the eight guardian generals of their respective mantra affinity.

Pride. Lust. Greed. Sloth. Vanity. Violence. Melancholy. And wrath.

"And the names of the previous holders of these affinities were as follows as because when a general retires, they pass on their power to their successors. Deus. Olga. August. Kalrow. Sergei. Wyzen. Yasha, and Asura." Vlitra listed off to the young girl.

"Everything was peace and harmony, almost to the point of being a Paradise. But problems arose as they begin to fight against the impure Gohma in the war of creation that dates back even farther."

Then Vlitra tells her of the Gohma's main purpose and capabilities.

"To restore the balance from the damage caused by their civilization, they do that by devouring human souls as punishment and to weaken the demigod race as they get mantra through daily prayers." Vlitra explained.

Serena inwardly shudders from the implications.

"But time after time that these opposite forces clashed, no end was in sight for their endless war, when the time came, the source of all Gohma awoken appeared from a blast from the Karma's Fortress ultimate weapon called the Brahmastra against an entity whose power is deemed to be immeasurable, yet it was defeated albeit temporary by a lone guardian general name Asura, your very own ancestor." She revealed. If a little tersely.

The faunus was awed from this. She then asked eagerly. "What kind of person was he?"

"Dull, simple-minded, thick-headed, solves things with violence and swings his fists like an idiot and never bothers to actually think things through, quick to temper, rash, insubordinate and out of control. Pretty much holding the biggest track record of having his arms dismembered more times than it should be possible, even for demigod standards." She listed mercilessly with a deadpan expression.

Serena had a big comical sweat-drop sliding behind her head with a strained smile from that, so typical of her caretaker. Being so blunt as a massive war hammer to the face.

"But he was also a family man with a strong moral compass and would do anything to protect his wife and daughter from harm, although he is no match for his own daughter when she cries when she was but an infant."

The young girl smiled for real at that, reminded of her own family in her ancestors' position, but finds it endearing for him be put in such a predicament involving his daughter.

And so, she continues to hear the story with rapt attention.

"The peace was not made to last for him however, as the self-proclaimed seven deities conspired and killed his wife, kidnapped his daughter Mithra. Asura came to retrieve her after being falsely accused of murdering their emperor, only to be defeated and killed by Deus." She explains the details thoroughly.

"After they rid of him, they begin to set their plans into motion for the long-term campaign of this belief known as the Great Rebirth, so they may be able destroy the source of the Gohma once and for all and save the world. But the methods behind such an endeavor was gruesome. By butchering humans like cattle in a span of 12,500 years." Vlitra stated rather darkly.

"Wait! Did you just say that they have killed humans for over 12,000 years? How could they have lived that long, why and how many humans have they killed?!" Serena interrupted with a yell, slightly disturbing Siegfried and Dust from their sleep.

Vlitra quickly replied. "Demigods have a longer lifespan than any human being, 12,000 years is nothing to them, and as to the why they killed them is to fuel the seven deities' source of power inside the Karma Fortress, human souls. The souls that they have fought over with the Gohma in that same timespan, all in the name of the so-called Great Rebirth. That which by the way is not real in the least." She grimaced internally.

Oh yeah, and what indeed a struggle it was, battle after battle. War by war, and nothing changed in the slightest. But she didn't care back then as she wasn't in the most stable of minds back in those days, all she wanted was for the pain to go away, so much rage and hatred for the demigods ripped away both her sanity, and her own sense of self.

Becoming a monster that is of their own making.

"And to answer your last question? Seven trillion." Vlitra revealed, stone-faced.

Serena's eyes become wide in absolute shock and horror from this, her skin turning ghostly pale.

Seven trillion people?

Trying to save the world by turning the souls of humans into mantra, all in the belief of something that doesn't even exist in the first place?

That is just both sick and disgusting!

'And I thought humanity today was bad.' Serena thought with a vindictive grimace.

She didn't get to think on this for long as Vlitra continued.

"Moving on, when Asura was out killing off most of the seven deities one by one, along with their armies, with the sole exception of Yasha who soon learned of his folly and to what they were doing. They fought together against the head deity Deus inside the Karma fortress, and he was defeated despite the struggle between them." She tosses a log to keep the fire burning.

"However, that is when the source of all the Gohma decided to show itself to the world once again, it has grown more powerful than ever before thanks to all the leftover souls that escaped to the planet." She narrated while leaning her hand close to the fire.

"The two demigods of both melancholy and wrath speared through the hordes of the Gohma, and then eventually having to have an encounter with the entity itself, from inside of the planet and to the planets core." Her hand touches the flames, making it a little bigger.

"From there they encountered it, thus they battled their hardest and it was through the Asura and Yasha's teamwork that eventually defeated it, and the world was freed from its evil influence on the world."

"Or so they all thought." She said with narrow eyes while glaring into the flames in remembrance of her embittered defeat from those two.

"Wait, are you saying that this monster isn't dead?" She asked nervously.

"Correct, it was not killed, a part of it survived and slumbered for uncountable years, away from prying eyes and ears, it's still alive even to this day. The cataclysm that shook the entire world two years ago is the proof of its awakening, and it now roam's free once more." She said emotionlessly.

"But where could it possibly be? One would think that it isn't exactly subtle and should have been discovered sooner because of that very incident. And shouldn't it have killed humans off by now?" Serena asked with perplexity.

Vlitra chuckled, but there is no humor in it, it's just hollow and dead.

"Think about it, the fact that the Gohma haven't killed you on the spot while doing so to others not so fortunate should be the very first clue, with the second one as to why I command them, and they obeyed. And the final one is that I never said the creatures name throughout the entire story." She hinted.

Serena was thinking on her words for a few minutes, and when she finally put two and two together, did her eyes widened in realization as what she is saying.

Vlitra nodded her head in confirmation of her suspicion as she begins to stand up as her shadow begins to morph and change into something terrifying. "There you have it, I am Vlitra, the very same monster that you accurately summarized, I am the very source of all the Gohma, and most importantly."

Her crimson eyes peered into Serena's own with them glowing from the fire, the back of the girl's hair stand up from seeing a demonic visage behind her that its eyes are glowing alongside with her teacher.

"I am the very will of the planet itself, the devourer of souls, the one who has been called and accused as the very embodiment of all the worlds evils, the evils that humanity so despised. Yet, committing them so hypocritically in the process so many times over in turn." She declared as her shadow returns to normal, and she stares down at her protégé, waiting to see what she plans to do.

Serena was shocked, nay, her very soul was yelling at her to run away as fast as she could after hearing what Vlitra truly was and why she claimed she wasn't human.

She was outright terrified than ever before that someone like her unofficial caretaker was the very will of the planet.

But reason squashed that terror down, because if Vlitra wanted to kill her, she would have most certainly been dead long ago.

The fact she told her all of this should indicate that she is placing her decision on what she will do.

Run and flee? Or stay here alongside her and push away the fears aside?

She chose the latter.

'And I'll be damned if I become ungrateful from letting my fears control me for all the things that she has done for my sake.' Her master isn't like that monster in the past anymore, this she knew, because she has calmed down a lot ever since she woken up.

Never did she saw this coming, and it's all made sense now, the strange creatures that are like the creatures of Grimm, but only more dangerous, devouring souls notwithstanding, and her master commanding them with the ease backed by millions of years of experience, if not more.

But there is also another thing that she remembered, one she should done the first time, so she stands up, moves around the campfire, and stands before Vlitra, staring at her right in the eye with no expression on her young face, she did something that caught Vlitra completely off-guard.

By wrapping her arms around her waist in a tight hug, while pushing her face into her stomach side to side a few times before looking back up to her, tears freely falling, but not in fear though.

She will admit that at first, she feared her after finding out her identity.

But now, however? Serena can't help but feel her heart break, because for the very first time, those crimson red eyes that were so strong, steadfast and so full life were now dull, like she just aged rapidly despite her beautiful, otherworldly, dare she say, divine appearance, Vlitra hugged her back with one arm as she turns her head to the side as silent tears spill out of her eyes.

She had no idea how truly blessed she was to have the very personification of the planet itself as a friend this night, when everything was taken from her, she became her only pillar of light that healed her from her past scars and have been given enough strength to move forward.

But now, it is her turn to try and heal the scars left on her, no matter how miniscule the effort is.

Soon thereafter, they are sharing the same sleeping bag big enough for two of them, sleeping contently with trust to one another.

Though neither didn't notice the green glow they were exuding, being too deep in sleep.

Neither do they notice a shadowed figure at the entrance of the hand-made cave that had a gentle smile on their face before they disappear from the blizzard, as if they were never there.

( Flashback: End )

Snapped out of her musings as she hears footsteps, she turns to her left to see Vlitra and Dust coming in with her coming in from the door.

Siegfried however grew quite large in these two years, as expected of a wolf of a dying breed as a dire wolf that was hunted down to extinction.

Which it was intolerable to Vlitra after discovering this, so she made sure she shared a small portion of her power, resulting Siegfried to be becoming the pinnacle to all species of wolves, and due to his size, being a total of approximately twenty meters long, and 10.5 meters high.

But it doesn't even compare to his true size.

Which is why he has four golden ring-like shackles the size of tractor tires on each of his legs that are meant to restrain his power, and only she and Vlitra could release them, the last time they did, he became even bigger, his K-9 teeth are capable of cutting through a huntsman's aura like it wasn't even there, his body become durable that bullets or blades simply bounce off in a ricochet, she saw it first-hand too, she is also no stranger in witnessing him devouring humans and occasional faunus that are proven to twisted or evil to live.

And as well as being able to take down a horde of Grimm on his own is nothing short of awe-inspiring and magnificent.

He had earned a reputation among villages that have seen or heard of him, a beast that hunts down any malicious being that walks, Grimm, faunus or human, killing them in many gruesome ways that was never thought of, earning a lot of titles along the way.

The White Beast of Remnant.

The Alpha.

The Grimm's Bane.

The True Hunter.

The Apex Predator.

The shackled Wolf.

The Wolf King.

Siegfried had earned many names in their travels for the last two years, but the one name that sticks out the most was...

Primate Murder.

This name alone is enough to bring chills down to the most sinful of souls that wronged their fellow man down their spines, and no truly guilty person is spared once it set it's sight on them, thrash and flee, run if they can.

But their only hope is that of a quick and painless death once he has them in his jaws.

Whether this will reach the ears of the four kingdoms has yet to be determined as he stays mostly in the wilds with Dust staying along with him, per Vlitra's orders to avoid unneeded attention from the bigger settlements.

Although that changed when they were inside the industrial area of Vale, they heard news reports on television of a beast roaming throughout the areas within the forests of Mistral and the Everfall forest, and various eyewitness accounts from smaller settlement and occasional video recorded proof were included.

This opened a new can of worms for them as both the Valean and Mistralian council were thinking of ways on how to capture him as to put him on a tight leash to do their bidding, due to him being a very effective killer against criminal types and the Grimm.

It was a race as to who will get him first.

But Vlitra and Serena will never let it happen, and Siegfried will never allow himself to submit towards those weaker than him and his mistress.

Vlitra is the true Alpha in his eyes, and Serena is someone he considers as a cub, a part of this small family.

So, it shouldn't be a surprise that he is unable to get inside, he instead lays down on the snowy surface on his belly near the front porch to guard them from any unsavory things, unheeded from the cold.

The latter became annoyed from remembering what her master did. "First of all; Really, you had to do the old-fashioned head-butt? that is probably the first time I've seen you showing no taste at all, and Secondly, a reward? That is what you called it?" She snips at her teacher while getting up from her bed and exit outside to greet the large wolf while petting Dusts head gently, who was standing on a porch rail now has a small golden ring wrapped around his left leg, then reaches Siegfried by pressing her front closely to his neck.

"Hello Siegfried, how was your hunting trip?" She asked in a murmur as she rubs her face deeply against his fur while unconsciously purring. Because by mother Gaea, does she just want to fall asleep from how incredibly soft he is.

The feeling of his completely immaculate, snow white fur is top class!

"Hello as well, young cub. And it was a pleasant endeavor" He said kindly with a wolf-like smile on his muzzle as he rubs his head against her.

And that's another thing that amazes her, Vlitra also increased the beast's intelligence to the point of human-levels, he may not be able to talk like one by lips, but he is capable of telepathic means as more than enough to compensate. (4)

"I bet, shame I didn't come along to help out, just to avoid a certain sadistic teacher of mine." She stated out loud on purpose for said teacher to hear.

"Ever the snarky student." She brushed the insult off her shoulder like dirt. "Whatever happened to the demure girl I used to know?" She mock sighed with her eyes closed as she leans on the front door.

"She grew up in developing a hard center from dealing with her caretakers recently-found antics and sense of humor that I never knew she had, not even in a hundred-million years considering that it's you." Serena retorted with a deadpan while petting the giant wolf who was growling in content.

Oh yeah, she seen it in action, Vlitra doesn't like the idea of being ordered around by others, especially humans, telling her what to do to fit into their standards, more so for those in 'power'? She makes it her personal mission that if anyone were to give her a hard time just because 'they can'?

Well, let's just say that one does not simply piss off the very personification of nature itself.

And the results weren't pretty, nor will they ever be in the future.

Vlitra, the ancient will of the planet itself, with a rage/hate streak a galaxy wide, who can, and WILL spit in the face of gods for just being in her near proximity, that and just for merely existing…

Sometimes behaves like a rebellious child!

While in the city of Vale one time to get herself some supplies, and spend some time to herself, the young demigod during her time in a restaurant heard other students that were passing by, with one of them saying that one Glynda Goodwitch fitting the category of a 'control freak' very nicely.

She has heard of that name before, a huntress that teaches in Beacon academy, considered as one of the most accomplished student-turned-teacher's in history, with telekinesis as her semblance.

But is also notorious in something concerning her riding crop, prone to whacking someone with it to those who annoyed her or are too unruly.

Mostly the students.

The cat faunus can't help herself from pitying the woman should she ever meet Vlitra, if Glynda gives the dark side of Gaea any kind of attitude for over something small or trivial, she will ensure her life will be a living hell to the point of suicide.

Her friend, and mentor is simply just that evil, revenge and spite is practically her calling card.

Not surprising considering the track record thus far since her awakening.

Vlitra just shrugs in defeat. "Point."

The young cat faunus' bottom left eyelid twitched in irritation, but let it go for the sake of her sanity, though she doubts there is much left of it from Vlitra's way of doing things, mostly on their most recent encounters with less than good people.

Serena sighs quietly and asks in curiosity. "So, what now?"

"Now, we are going to go to a small village close to Vale to get something, and I have two gifts for you here, it is all for your hard work and dedication for all these short two years. Oh, and take off the gloves and coat young lady, you won't need them for this as they'll get in the way." She replies without looking at Serena as she goes inside to remove the rug and opens a hidden door compartment in the floor boards, bringing out a long and wide black case with intricate colored lines in both gold, blue and red.

Serena's ears perk's up in curiosity, getting back inside, she removes the coat and gloves as ordered and place them on a table nearby, wearing nothing but a black, short-sleeved turtle neck shirt, showing her developing hourglass figure, having an athletic figure and muscles in the right proportions for her age, waiting for the older woman eagerly.

Vlitra places the case on top of the bed, and gestures her to open it. Serena did just that, barely containing herself, she was taught better manners.

So, she flicks the metal locks, and gently opens the lid.

And what she saw mesmerizes her.

Before her are two broadswords of approximately the same 120 cm's in total length, with the handles long enough to fit three hands, while having that have futuristic-look to them, twins of the same but completely opposite kind.

The first one is pitch black with crimson red markings that are imbued both inside the guard that's curved upwards, having three openings around the guard and two dots on top of the other in the center.

The blade is engraved with red circles with the top fourth one having two red rectangular lines that go slightly up and to the other side of the blade. A red line reaching to the upper circle with two lines that stretched near it, and expands out to the edge of the blade, reaching to the very tip.

And the pommel has bulbous shape connected to the guard while the capsule-shape circles on two sides are touched by two rectangular lines, with the hilt open.

[ Secret-calibur 1: Excalibur Ascension Morgan – Nasuverse ]

The second sword is of similar design has the same curved upward guard that has smoothed blue lines instead of its dark counterpart, the diamond-shape engravement having two lines reaching the edge of the blade. Next came the blade color in the shape of an arrow with two smaller arrows curved outwards with yellow highlights.

The blade itself is radiating a heavenly blue glow, the bottom of the blade has scribbled lines of a language she can't make out, moving further up has a three-pronged trident-like arrows with two parts reaching around the blade with the line reaching all the way to the tip of the sword. The dark blue handle has an identical Capsule-shape circles and finally came the same open hilt.

[Secret-calibur 2: Excalibur Ascension – Nasuverse ]

To say that these swords are beautiful is an understatement of the millennia, never did she ever saw weapons of flawless designs that she is more than certain that they were not made by human hands.

Feeling a pull, without any thoughts, she slowly grabs the black and red sword in her right while grabbing the white one in her left, immediately, something is happening as they glow even more from contact, feeling like every inch of her soul is being scrutinized, before two voices were heard in the back of her mind.

'Worthy.'

'Worthy.'

The first voice was dark and outright sinister, but the second one was soothing and almost motherly in its welcome to its new wielder.

Looking at her hands, only to see seals or sigils channeling through, appearing from the back of her hands, then they both begin emitting an aura that mimics fire, in the color of both red and blue from the weapons they represent.

She looks at her right hand first, a red seal looking like as if blood is swimming through it, nothing but malice is felt from it. (5)

The one on her left hand is her right hands complete opposite, a heavenly blue glow just like the sword she is holding, with a warmth she never felt since she was a younger child. (6)

"And with those sigils do the blades that belongs to the world has now marked you as their true and only owner, use them in any way you wish, we will discuss on how to use them, be it single or dual wielding, later. No one else can grab these blades for their lives will be drained if they dare try to steal them."

To prove her point, the blades disappeared, the heavenly blade turned to blue particles while the dark one turned into a bloody red mist, yet a part of her knows that they are still here at the back of her mind.

Clenching her fists to get used to the feeling of two presence's inside her, she tries to summon them back, and summoned they were the same way they disappeared, her eyes shine with a joyful light, she puts them down, turns to her teacher, and jumps at her with a big hug. "Thank you so much, they're perfect, I will remember this and take care of them." She murmurs with a whimper as tears of joy spill out of her eyes.

Vlitra reciprocates the hug silently, Dust and Siegfried were smiling of being proud of their young companion.

The giant wolf was smiling at least, Dust is hard to tell with a beak, and since well, he is a bird.

"You are most welcome little one." She spoke softly, but let's go of the cat faunus. "While I hate to cut this short, we must get going, so grab your coat and gloves." She ordered as the case turned to dust when her young student grabbed the weapons, making them disappear the same way, grabs her coat and gloves, reaching a right hand out to Dust who perched in her forearm, and exits out of the house.

Vlitra summons a black and red corridor and walks in with no hesitation, Serena moved in soon after while Dusts ring glows the moment he comes near to the corridor.

Siegfried gets up from his laying form and follows suit with every loud step he takes, the corridor gotten bigger for him to fit through, the golden shackles flare up to protect their wearer from any consequence from entering.

When his tail came in last, the corridor was gone without a trace.

---

( The Next Day )

Vlitra and Serena were walking through the dirt road that leads an entrance to a unnamed village, Siegfried had to stay in the woods to avoid from being seen, Dust was allowed as he was just a big crow in the eyes of other people in the settlement as he perches on the edge of buildings and trees, so he is free to fly around as he wished.

It wasn't long before they arrived at the place Vlitra was looking for, except they stopped dead in their tracks, because standing in front of them, on the side of the path with their back leaning close to a tree is someone they didn't expect.

"Hello Vlitra, you too as well Serena." The melodious voice that reveals to be a woman said that is showing a gentle smile.

Serena was shocked as to who was talking, Vlitra was surprised as well, but for different reasons that don't align with the younger girls' own, and what she whispers next will shut the young demigod's mind down.

"Gaea."

The identity of woman on the other side continues to smile in a motherly way to the both of them.

(To Be Continued)

Finally, its finished, 'about damn time' is what's no doubt passing through the minds of my faithful readers, it was a long time coming to be sure, and I do hope that it was worth the wait and that you enjoyed the chapter. And by holy dog shit that is a lot of words I made, over 23,000 words. That's a new record!

And I hope that the unknown person (Revealed to be Gaea) shocked you guys, bet you didn't see that coming, did ya? Gaea has a dark side that is Vlitra, with a physical body, so, as the counterpart, if not a gentle side of Vlitra, who is to say Gaea didn't have one of her own, if not making one for herself?

Now for the reviews, Yay!

JessesanMan: Yeah, I'll admit it was a little weird, and I thought about fixing that, but it then occurred to me that Vlitra is an entity and never a human being, her mindset and standards are not the same as a humans when it comes down to decency or modesty. So, I guess of what I am trying to convey that it it is meant to show that Vlitra was learning to appreciate her new form and not caring what others think. Flimsy and weak as that sounds, but it was the only one I could come up with. But thank you all the same.

MorrigansMind: Thank you so much, I am glad this caught your eye :).

thermalsnipern7: That has been fixed, thank you for pointing that out my friend.

ultima-owner: I got that punishment from Soul Eater when death tore Asura's skin from his entire body, I would have gone with the one involving either the blood eagle, but I kinda needed Drek alive to serve as an example, and a warning, and it is indeed adorable at the end, because Vlitra isn't always going to be all rage and hatred for humanity all the time, I wanted to tone it down a little while not changing her true nature in the least.

ultima-owner: technical it was over a hundred-million years, and Vlitra slept in that time frame right under everyone's nose.

LordAzrael1: Well, you don't have to wait any longer because here's the chapter I worked hard to procure, I hope it was to your liking my friend.

Wacko12: Think Vlitra the being the same as Enkidu from the Nasuverse, not having a true gender, they both started off as mindless beasts of nature, with one of them being the rage and will of the world at large, so in this story, Vlitra will clearly be female.

Kilare T'suna: Well here's the chapter, and her being a descendant makes sense, because Mithra was the only demigod that didn't need mantra to sustain her life after Chakravartin's death, she became human and died living a full life, with a family for her own, and they in turn have a family as time passes on, but the Mantra of Wrath still lives on through Mithra's descendants, and why Serena possess the power is because of two things, one; is because the illustration of the main casts in modern day with Asura replacing the statue of liberty if you ever saw that, and two; is because rage never dies, that statements runs very deeply when you think about it, so yeah.

And sorry if they didn't broadcast the (failed) execution, it was due to Vernals hastiness, she was still young and not as calm and collected that comes with experience, and when you have someone you cared for, who you believed to strong and few dare to pick a fight with, was about to die, they jump the gun immediately after.

Infernius: Thank you for Vlitra's unique character and my hard work, and as you can see, I am not dead, so don't be sad and rejoice, for I am here!

And that is all the reviews for now, and before I take my break, my fingers are aching from the speed typing, here's the annotations and reverences for further details, which by the way I don't get strangled for this, including adding a power for the Gohma Striker, and Serena wearing a organization XIII coat, it may not be the most original idea, but I ran out of ideas for means of attire, and it is only a temporary solution before I could make an official outfit for here, if you guys are up for giving me suggestions on what she should wear based on the outfits from games, anime, T.V shows, just let me know on the review box or PMS me, either works.

(1)= Serena's hair length has been established, when she is using the mantra of wrath, her hair becomes wild and spikey that is like that of Jiraiya's without the ponytail he wears, via sage mode, and when she is not using it, or not fighting, it smooth's itself out, making it look like Sesshomaru's without the short bangs he has.

(2)= Vlitra's Tattoos around her body and face is pretty much identical to that of evil Kiliks from soul calibur 6, but only red and no face Tatoos whatsoever.

(3)= Serena's Demigod Tattoos are basically Gilgamesh's own tattoos, except however, try to imagine having the ones on his right side is replaced to match his left one, and add the X shape cross on the right bicep to be placed on the left bicep too.

(4)= Siegfried's voice would be Mufasa's voice from the Lion King, and for image sake, think of him being roughly as big as T-rex with his gold shackles on him, if the gold shackles were to be released, he will become as big as Ralph from the Rampage movie with the Rock in it.

(5)= The Red Sigil will be Hakuno Kishinami's command spell to represent the Secret-calibur 1: Excalibur Ascension Morgan.

(6)= The blue sigil will be Master Artoria's command spell for the Secret-calibur 2: Excalibur Ascension.

And that is all for today/tonight, depending where you all live, one more thing, new possible stories, ideas and summaries have been added, with one being Fate/Genesis, check it out for yourself and PMS me on what you think of it. For now, I must find a way around my Nemesis Titan that still a work in progress, curse the arch nemesis known as writers block!

Anyway, don't forget to review and Fave this story, I will feel loved if you do, and I hope the song from the top fits, Wrath of Vajra here, signing off.

But before I do that, lets not forget the previews that I forgot completely to put on, sorry about that everyone, so here it is, Durga. Would you kindly?

Durga: Of course.

[Preview]

Episode 5: Where two halves of one whole meet.

~Cue music: In Your Belief~

"Gaea and Vlitra, heart and mind, love and hate, life and death. The two beings that make up the very foundations of the world, yet they cannot be anymore at odds with each other as would night and day. Meanwhile Salem and Ozpin make their move in the shadows of their war, one that will bring the trio in the center of it by chance."

Screen Image: Vlitra and Gaea were conversing in a table inside of a house, an argument was getting heated as Serena tries to calm them both down before a fight ensues. Ozpin talks with Qrow and Glynda with Ironwood on a holo screen on Ozpins desk, with grimaces on their faces on what they are talking about, Salem talks with her subordinates, while the young Cinder Fall trains against the Beowolves in the castles training area.
