{Interlude 1: Fangs.}
The White Fang.
An organization of Faunus that fought for peace, after overtaking Occup and acquiring their peace. A subsection of the group broke off.
The Red Fang.
During the Revolution they were the strike teams, the soldiers, the killers. Afterwards, they weren't needed as much. Then, when the White Fang had their secrets exposed, they were tossed the blame. They were labeled Terrorists. They fight for vengeance, but they weren't the worst Fang.
That title belonged to the Feral Fang.
A group of bloodthirsty, murderous and psychotic Faunus that were no better then the Creatures of Grimm, that only wanted to plunge the world into chaos... Or, at least that's what they're painted as.
The Freedom Fang.
That was their true name, they didn't fight for peace, vengeance, or just for fun. They fought for equality.
The White Fang was satisfied living in Occup, making life hell for humans, they were at peace there.
The Red Fang wasn't satisfied with peace, they wanted to avenge all the suffering every Faunus had endured.
The Freedom Fang wasn't satisfied with peace, not if it meant oppressing humans. The didn't wish for blood to be spilled in the Name of those who believed in dying for their cause. The Freedom Fang was made by the old members of the White Fang who disagreed with their violent methods. Members who fought not to Rule, not to Subjugate, not out of Anger, but for Equality. They wanted Humans and Faunus to be equals.
That caused the White Fang to worry.
Why would they change the status quo when they had peace?
It caused the Red Fang to worry.
Why should they forgive the Humans?
So, they came to a conclusion, make them the worst. Make them the bad guys.
With the new King a member of the White Fang, it wasn't that hard to control the narrative.
And it wouldn't be the first, nor the last, time they did.
{Line Break.}
"Adam?" A voice brings Adam out of his thoughts.
"Yes? What is it?" Adam moves his gaze from the desert sand through the window, to a Faunus with a fox tail.
"Fennec says we're almost there, I just wanted to inform you, Sir." The Faunus says stiffly.
Adam looks at the Faunus for a second, then he puts a hand on his shoulder. "You're nervous, Corsac."
Corsac shifts slightly. "Sir, this has to be my biggest mission, I'm worried."
"Don't be. As long as I fight with you, no one will get harmed. I promise." Adam said with a reassuring smile.
"Thanks Adam, I was probably just being silly." Corsac let his body relax, his tail started waving slightly.
"No, your worry was well placed, we are attacking a Red Fang camp, you'd be crazy to do this without a thought." Adam said, walking towards the door of the Bullhead. "Our enemies won't hesitate to kill."
"S-sir?" A confused Crosac squeaks out.
"They will try their hardest to kill anyone who threatens them, they are ruthless, skilled, and enjoy the act."
Adam turns around facing a fearful Corsac. "But we aren't them, we will not kill anyone. No matter the odds, the choice. I'm not telling you to die, you and Fennec are to stay out of sight, avoid conflict. And if it seems I'm about to die, then leave, flee. You won't be a coward for choosing to live, you aren't a fighter, just know, under no circumstance are you allowed to kill."
"W-what if-"
"There are no circumstances that justify killing. We don't have to kill anyways, we're better than them. They won't stay, because they aren't loyal, once we subdue some, others will abandon the camp in self preservation."
Adam remains facing Corsac, even as the Bullhead doors start opening.
"Remember the plan, after I cause the distraction, get the Humans to point B, their transportation will be waiting. The other teams will get the Dust, Only stick around for a couple minutes, if I'm not back, leave. Got it, Corsac?" Adam spoke over the rushing wind, blowing his red hair.
"Y-yes Adam!" Corsac answers as Adam falls out the Bullhead.
In the air, Adam falls calmly, he slows down his breathing and focuses on his Semblance.
His view of the world changes as everything red on his body glows white.
The rest of the world loses colour, only white and black remain.
He angles his body when he nears the ground. His feet land first, and from where he landed, a wave of energy shoots around him like a ring.
He stands as the Red Fang guard surround him.
"It's Taurus!"
They shoot and rush him. Every hit is deflected by his Semblance, Moonslide.
He cracks his knuckles and prepares to fight.
{Interlude 1: Fangs, End.}
I've been struggling with where I'm taking this story, I couldn't write an acceptable Chapter, but I wanted to get something out.
I like the character of Adam. On this note, you've probably noticed what I'm doing to the characters themselves, but how would that affect everyone. The characters aren't all that different in circumstance, good guys are still good guys, the bad guys are still bad guys, but what about characters like Adam. Ones who were bad by how they were developed.
I'm not spoiling anything, but people like Raven, ones with inherently good motives (Survival) that were executed badly, when those are viewed differently, what does that mean for the characters?
My rant for justifying changing Adam is almost over.
Mainly he seems like someone who grew tired of how he was treated and fought back. (Gosh, that sounds like his canon Semblance.)
In this world, he wasn't treated badly, but humans in Occup were. After an Event, he decided to do something about it.
While writing this, I realized I missed my chance to make Character Shorts and Trailers, now I just have them rolling around in my head.
