im back and I am late again. O my god I will probably never get back to my regular rhythm. I hate the world right now. Why can't there be magic and awesome powers in the world? If there is pleas inform me how to escape my boring live and join that fantasy world. Yes I'm done rambling now and I apologize by delaying for so long again.

Enjoy

Many days passed since the day the capital of Vale and with it beacon academy fell. The news were hard to swallow for the entire world but it was harder for the citizens. They lost there home and many of them there loved ones, either by separation or by the cruel hand of death. Not even one soul that witnessed that day without losing someone. Even those responsible for the attack were changed but not like the victims.

In a place far away from any flicker of light was a snake watching from a window down on a swamp were Grimm slowly started to crawl out. Each beast rose its head at the fortress before joining there brothers. Orochimaru simply chuckled at the sight. "Truly magnificent. Live being born from nothing. No, soldiers being born from nothing."

"Will you be quite and join the table already? The Grimm won't be going anywhere." A man with a huge mustache said as he impatiently tabbed his finger on the table.

"Watts, you truly know how to handle a computer but magic beats science every time. I will one day understand magic and turn it into a science that will outclass even god." Orochimaru said while sitting down next to him and Hazel.

The big man didn't care for what the snake was babbling about. Outclassing god is a foolish idea and a impossible one at that. However that snake is quite found of the idea of doing the impossible.

Opposite of the table were Cinder, the new fall maiden with her two servants at her side and the madman of the group, Tyrian who continued to giggle to himself.

Shortly afterwards the double door opened and there dark mistress seemingly her dark dress with her unnatural pale white skin and black eyes made it very clear that she was standing above all of them. She slowly moved to the head of the table and sat down at the biggest and most decorated chair. The other people in the room remained quiet until she spoke, even Orochimaru didn't know how strong she was but it would be simply stupid to oppose her.

Salem looked around at each member before speaking with a warm smile. "I must congratulate you all. Beacon has fallen, Cinder has become the fall maiden and Ozpin is dead. What more could we want?"

"It was stupid to kill Ozpin. If Cinder wasn't so rash about that decision we could have gained much more." Orochimaru simply said.

Naturally Cinder was angered by Orochimaru who thought he could dictate her. Sadly she couldn't answer because of her injuries. Tyrian however could speak. "How dare you call the plan of our dear mistress stupid! I will-"

He was cut of by Salem with nothing more then a wave of her hand. "Explain child."

The snake leaned back into his chair. "We know that death won't hold him forever, he will find a new body sooner or later. Maybe days or maybe months he will be back. If we could capture him and send him into a artificial coma we could make sure that he never leaves his useless body ever again."

Hazel grumbled. "The thought of Ozpin disappearing forever sounds nice but killing him over and over again would feel so much better."

Salem however smiled at the snake. "I certainly like the way you think but I also know that your actual goal would be to experiment and dissect Ozpin so you can understand how he works."

"I'm guilty of being curious. That's also the reason why I would like that girl with the silver eyes. I know my fare share around the subject of eyes that can be used as weapons so I wouldn't mind having her hear for ... questioning." Orochimaru said with a little chuckle at the end.

Salem enjoyed Orochimaru's way of thought. He was as twisted as Tyrian and maybe even mir cunning then Watts. She also knew that Cinder would do anything to get her hands on that girl. "Alright. Tyrian, bring me the girl with the silver eyes alive. If not then at least rip her eyes out, we have no need for a corpse."

The madman was slightly annoyed but agreed nonetheless. Orochimaru noticed how desperately she wanted to speak and he knew exactly what she wanted. "Don't worry Cinder, after I removed her eyes she can be your little plaything."

Salem stood up with a smile. Everything was going according to plan. "You all know what to do. Do not fail me."

Orochimaru chuckled as he got up from his chair. "I hope you won't mind me taking a little detour with my role. You see I while I was a beacon academy I went through some files and found someone very interesting I would like to visit."

Far away in a foster a heavenly wounded Fanus was running away frantically. He was a former member of the white fang and was even involved in the invasion of beacon. That day was also the day were he started to doubt Adam's ways of dealing with humans until he finally decided to desert.

Sadly for him the white fang under Adam's command doesn't forgive deserters, if he was just closer to the true high leader she might have been able to simply send him home without any trouble but now he was hunted.

As he continued to run he suddenly stopped as he saw the true terror before him. A hulking blue shark Fanus with a wrapped up sword stood before him and blocked his way. That beast was known as Adam's personal bodyguard and leader of a small squad of deserter hunters. His nickname, Kisame the iron grip shark.

That Name came from the belief that Kisame lost his right arm to the humans and has now a cybernetic arm. In reality however, Sharkskin already healed his arm. He was currently wearing nothing more then a iron glove and the normally white fang armor. "You lost your chance to escape traitor."

The deserter cowered in fear as the other hunters arrived. He tried to run away but a spider net caught him and immobilized him. The one who spun the net was a Fanus with dark silver hair and web markings over her body. Her name was Trifa and together with the dragon Fanus Yuma they were Kisames lieutenants of the hunting party. Both had smug grins on there faces as kisame approached the captive. The traitor pleaded. "Please. Don't do this."

Kisame didn't smile and he didn't show any hesitation as he grabbed the throat of the deserter and applied pressure. He hated working for the white fang and he hated working for Adam but the shark knew that he couldn't pass this opportunity. He was close to Adam and Adam didn't completely trust Orochimaru so he keeps his existence a secret. On days like this kisame truly hated being such a good at lies. With one final move he snapped he neck of the deserter.

The group cheered on a job well done as kisame simply looked at that limb body before him. "Everyone! It's getting late and there are still deserters on the move. Let's wrap this up and not waste time on executions. You see it you kill it. If you accidentally kill a human on the way you get a bonus."

The highly advanced and very active city of mistral was everything the two artists had hoped to be. Full of political and financial power plays that are easily corruptible.

Minerva and the two artists were currently waiting in a small office of a lesser known company of experimental robotics. The kind of company that will be crushed by the larger enterprises any day now. Sasori was annoyed while Deidara was still slightly confused why they were here exactly but he trusted that Sasori had a plan since he went straight into this building and simply said that this would be there ticket into the higher society. Minerva was also in the room trying to not look to much out of place which fair horribly.

Finally a simple man in a beat down suit entered the room and simply sat down behind the office table. "What can I do for you two kids and... large sex robot?"

"Hey." Minerva replied slightly offended. Somewhat because she actually has a few parts belonging to a sex robot.

Deidara answer the man before the conversation turned into a fight. "We are actually hear because we want to be part of the higher society. How my man plans on doing that I'm not completely sure."

The man leaned back into his chair. "Listen Kids. You are probably dreaming of being a great inventor we're fame and glory are at your very feet. I was once so full of ideas and ambitions but as you can see I opened this company and poured my life into it only to watch it crumble under the heal of the Schnee dust company. Give up on your dreams already."

Sasori didn't say a word as he gave the man a blueprint. He picked it up and scanned it with his eyes. "Blueprints of the Paladin? What is this? Are you trying to trick me Into buying something that is already on the market?"

Sasori simply gave him another blueprint. "The paladin was simply a reference so you could see how inferior they are to me."

The man looked over the blueprint that was labeled 'stinger'. The Akatsuki members watched as his eyes widened and widened and even his hands started to shake. This blueprint was the key to not only save his company but also play with the biggest of companies. Sasori snapped the man back into reality. "I want that everyone knows that this blueprint was designed by me and a place for us to stay with everything we desire. Then your company may produce this masterpiece under there company name."

The man slowly nodded and left the office to write down the deal. As he left Minerva noticed that the man had a brown spot on his pants were he obviously shit himself. Deidara meanwhile turned to Sasori. "Do you really believe it's such a good idea to give this guy such a powerful weapon? I'm mean this is a war Maschine."

"Oh please, as the creator of those weapons I know exactly were there weak points are. If they get out of hand or land in the hands of the wrong people I will simply leak there weakness on the internet. Like Minerva they are close to perfection but fall to one weaknesses." Sasori simply said to his partner.

Minerva was actually a little bit offend. "I seriously doubt that I have one weakness that could stop me."

"Alright Minerva, make a fist with your hand and don't let go." Sasori said as he got up from his chair.

Minerva obeyed and watched as Sasori moved closer. Without a word he wrapped one of his arms around her and held her close. His hand slowly went down her back which made her jump. At the same time his other hand went straight for her breast and started to massage her. He built her body and he knew exactly were the most sensitive spots were.

Minerva started to breath heavily and went to her knees while still holding her fist. Sasori stopped and gently took her chin while moving closer to her face. "Open your hand and I will kiss you."

Without a moment of hesitation she opened her hand and eagerly awaited her kiss. The puppet master however simply moved back to his chair. "If it weren't for those implants that made her feel things like a human would, then her main weakness would be if the attacker would go after the puppet player. Did you understand that Deidara?"

The blond artist looked over to Minerva who looked deeply disappointed and ashamed and then back at his partner. Before he could answer the business man return with the contracts and a new pare of pants. "If you would be so kindly and sign here."

"We won't sign until we read it through." Deidara answered as he grabbed his contract and started reading. Sasori started to read his contract but look over for a moment to Minerva. She was still kneeling on the floor and was absolutely devastated. Was it because she failed to hold her fist? Because she was grouped by Sasori just like that? Shame? Humiliation? Whatever it was Sasori didn't like that look.

"I still have a something to take care of." With those words he simply got of his chair and kissed Minerva on her lips. After that he returned to his chair and read the contract.

Tho others in the room were obviously stunned at Sasori's behavior and absolutely uninterested impression. As they slowly continue discussion there contracts with the business man, Minerva continue to wrap her hand around what just happened. Sasori just kissed her, she liked it and she wanted more.

"And what exactly do you want from me?" The Uchiha answer a bartender. Ever since the incident at beacon he has been going around on his own since it would be hard to infiltrate the White Fang being human. He was gathering information wherever he could while pretending to work as either a mercenary or a smuggler.

Naturally the pay wasn't that good since he wasn't well known which meant his attire and life stile had to suffer a bit. He wears nothing more then dirty rags combined with the almost completely ruined cloak of the Akatsuki and he hasn't had a shower with warm water since that day. What was also quite troublesome was the fact that his weapon was still in beacon academy. Now he had nothing more then some knives he picked up on his journey.

"I want you to go to that freak capital and tell my information that the deal is sealed. I can't send him a message since those god damm communication towers are defective because the one in beacon broke." The bartender said.

Itachi sighed. "Listen, i smuggled for you before and I know with freaks you mean the Fanus, but I don't want to go there."

"Too bad kid, I already bought you a ticket for the ship nearby so you will repay your debt to me." The bartender grumble again.

"Fine." Itachi simply answered. He didn't own the man any money, he simply owned him for always providing him with work. That might not sound like much but no one els would give a homeless teenager who claimed to be a hunter any kind of job. Maybe one as a kitchen assistant but not one were he could move around a lot or get information from the underground.

Besides, the ship is a luxury ship and he is heading towards a quite exotic place. What could go wrong?

Meanwhile the city of Vale is now nothing more then a ruin. The huge amount of grim continuously entering he city has forced all rescue units to abandon the city. However there were some foolish humans who actually entered the city. Looters.

One looter in particular was actually very deep in the city, hoping to find more valuables. He was a lesser known member of the infamous Brawin bandit tribe named Shay. His full name was Shay which made him the laughing stock of the whole tribe.

To prove that he was actually good for something he decided to enter Vale and still whatever he could from this ruined land. Easy enough, he just had to make sure that he wasn't caught by any Grimm, which naturally happened.

A Beowulf spotted the bandit and howled loudly which caught the attention of there Grimm nearby. Shay started to run but was soon circled by the hordes of Grimm. He pulled out his gun and shot but because of his panicked state he simply strived one of the beasts. The Grimm got angry and leaped forward to end the bandit's miserable live, however it that moment a scythe with three blades was thrown at the Grimm and killed the beast.

Shay couldn't believe his eyes as masked person simply walked up to the slain Grimm to retrieve the scythe. The Grimm actually appeared to be afraid of Kakuzu as he simply started them down. He was the only one left who fought against the Grimm day and night. The weaker beasts knew already to avoid him which they did as they slowly retreated.

Kakuzu looked over his shoulder to the bandit and then back at the barely visible dragon on top of the academy. He heard reports that some who matches Hidan's description was eaten by the best, he also knew that everything that was eaten by a Grimm would be instantly digested into nothingness. He couldn't accept that though, he will not expect that though. "Get out of hear unless you want to end up like all those corpses around us."

Kakuzu didn't know this but Shay was a very manipulative person. He knew a few things, like knowing a broken person when he sees one. The way that Kakuzu glances at the scythe made it clear that it wasn't his and that he was searching for the owner. Shay could need someone like Kakuzu so he came up with a plan. "Hey wait! You are that guy that they were looking for."

Kakuzu turned his head. "They? What are you talking about?"

Shay pretender to think. "What's was the name again? The owner of that weapon of yours."

Kakuzu eyes lighten up. "Hidan?! Did you meet him? Is he alright?"

"Yes Hidan, that was the name. Yeah I met him a couple of days ago. He seemed very confused so my partner took him to our hide out. If you want to I can bring you there." Shay said with a slick smile.

This was absolutely a lie and Kakuzu would easily see through it. However he was still denying the fact that not even Hidan's immortality could save him from being turned to nothing so he believed this strange. It's either believing him or completely dismissing the idea that Hidan could've survived. "Take me to him."

Somewhere in the wilderness was a beautiful little village named Shion. It was nothing more then a resting place for travelers or tourist who came to see the wonderful landscape. The travelers also enjoyed those landscapes together with there wonderful little Inns. The moon was already hanging high in the sky so the village was already quite.

In one room of the Inn a woman slowly opened her eyes. To her absolute delight she was close to the face of her lover who shared a bed with her. Konan moved one of Nagato's red hair strains out of away from his face. Nagato reacted by pulling Konan closer to him with the arm that was already wrapped around her. Konan couldn't help but giggle a bit.

Nagato was still asleep so naturally Konan remained silent while looking lovingly at his face. They were traveling around these past couple of days in hopes to find any leads on there enemies, sadly no one had ever seen someone who fit Cinder's description. Konan however wasn't mad, she was actually happy. She was finally alone with Nagato and the mornings together with the evenings fell so incredibly peaceful. The only cloud hanging above there heads was the loss of Hidan.

Konan smile disappeard. While he was annoying he was still Familie. Kakuzu is probably suffering the most under this loss, it was the first time she ever saw him so devastated.

Suddenly a loud scream echoed through the village. Both Akatsuki members shot up and Nagato immediately dashed towards the window to look out. It appeared a couple of bandits on motorcycles were attacking the village. They had huge sacks of loot on there backs and were currently throwing Molotowcocktails into buildings.

Nagato sighed and went to the door. "I'll shut them up."

Konan smiled. "Not like that."

Nagato looked down at himself and noticed that he was completely nude. He laughed. "I would be fun to beat some bandits up while being completely nude, gives them extra humiliation. I might even tee-bag them."

"Well in that case I might join you." The paper Angel said as she got up from bed and reviled to be also completely nude. Nagato enjoyed the sight much more then the thought of anybody seeing his lover naked

"Clothes suddenly seem to be extremely appropriate." He said as they both started to change.

As they finished clothing themselves and exited the building the villagers were in absolute panic. Some buildings were burning but the guards didn't try putting them out, they were running around just as scared as the villagers while the bandits fled.

Nagato grabbed one of the guards . "What are you doing? Shouldn't you put out those flames?"

"No! We have to run! Those bandits planned on killing us! They lead a giant hoard of Grimm to the village! They will arrive any minute now!" The guard answered while completely shaking.

"I got this." Konan answered while flying up in the air with her wings. The sight of this angelic being soothed the villagers, some of them even fell down on there knees believing they are actually seeing a servant from the heavens. Konan spoke in a loud and clear voice.

"Grab your loved ones and pack your bags as fast as you can in a orderly fashion! The Grimm will soon appear but myself and my love will stay hear and prevent those beast from following you! Listen to the guards and move as much as you can to a different location!" With those words the villagers immediately started packing there things, not everyone for themselves but all together.

Konan returned to Nagato who was leaning against a wall. "So, we will have a Showdown in this Village with a horde of Grimm?"

Konan shrugged. "It's a shame for the village but they couldn't help us anyway with our mission. Besides, in the morning this village will be completely desolated. We can do whatever we want."

Nagato moved closer to Konan. "What do you have in mind?"

Konan put her finger to her chin and pretend to think. "How about... naked hide and seek."

"I love you." Nagato answered while going for a kiss. However that was interrupted by the roars of the Grimm close by. Nagato was obviously annoyed.

Konan gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "First work then pleasure."

Nagato cracked his knuckles with a smile. "Trust me, i will enjoy this and then you."
