Garo World of Remnant Origin of Nexus
Part 2: WE RISE TOGETHER
ESKK: Well here is part 2 of Nexus Origin story… please enjoy it folks.
(Start Vacuo Mountains Outpost outside Schnee R&D Facility)
The White Fang had camped out in this area of Vacuo as they were waiting for the signal while watching a base that was there target, a Schnee Dust Company Facility for research and development. "I don't like it." The Fang Member said as they were scouting so they can be ready to attack.
"Well suck it up the boss says having a hired gun will help push other Faunus to our cause and add more brothers and sisters to our noble goal." The Fang member said as he looked to the guy.
"I know that I mean I don't like the guy we hired." He said as his friend looked confused.
"Huh how come?" He asked as the Faunus sighed.
"That guy has a rap sheet on him that sounds almost like a nightmare and shows acts that should be impossible for him. Grim Reaper, Battlefield Soul Collector, Emissary of Hell, Jinx, and much more. People say he glides over a sea of blood and death wherever he goes corpses are found impaled upon spokes like armor of a Grimm. They even claim he's a Grimm in human skin others say with his sort of 'invincibility,' that he's a devil in the form of a human." The White Fang member said as they watched for the signal from there hired gun.
"This Merc earned this type of reputation for himself and not only because of what he does to his enemies. Even if the job succeeds he's the only one who comes out alive especially on suicide missions he just walks out with nary a scratch on him his teammates don't get off so lucky." The Fang Member said as he looked to his friend as the friend then gulped.
"So… we might be getting our ticket punched here?" The Fang member asked as soon a third voice was heard.
"Don't be an idiot." The White Fang Leader said as he glared at his troops. "In the end he's still a human scum if he comes back we kill him and make sure he stays dead." The White Fang Member said as it was clear they had no intention of paying this mercenary for his services.
"I… I don't know sir rumors say he doesn't take kindly to those who break a contract." The Fang Member said as he gulped a bit but the leader wasn't scared.
"Just shoot him down and he dies simple as that." The Leader said showing he was not afraid but when Nexus was involved he should be very afraid. Soon an explosion was heard as they all saw it and saw the base was exploding no doubt the Merc doing his job.
(Inside with Nexus Physical Age 16 Actual Age 6)
*Insert Shadow the Hedgehog Westopolis Theme
Nexus arrived at the mission sight as he had detonated the area for the signal as he was now dressed in a black mission suit that consisted of a black coat tattered on the edges with charms and such around the coat and a sash at the belt for his pants. On his shoulders were striders as he had a visor over his eyes that had a mic attached to it as he glared at his foes.
Nexus then drew forth Void Gear and began hacking and slashing through his foes left and right as he dealt with them like a butcher would a slab of meat. Nexus then converted his weapon to its gun form and began firing at his foes with ease as they all fell down one by one. Nexus saw one charge at him with a rifle to which Nexus switched his Void Gear to its Halberd form and used it to chop off his foes arm causing him to cry out in pain before taking the rifle for his own and firing at his foes. Nexus then used his Semblance to see what his foes were packing and saw a few interesting Semblances to own and in turn he acted and allowed the eye like runic design to appear on his hands and in turn proceeded to consume his foes one after the other. All that was left of those foes were shriveled empty husks with this terrified look plastered on their faces as there body began to dissolve much like that of a Grimm.
Nexus then made his way to the next target as he jumped down an Elevator shaft making his way to the labs and when he did he released a powerful burst of Aura which tore his way through the doors into the lab. Nexus then charged in as his visor noted targets and such as he hacked and slashed through them all with trained ease. Nexus kept slaughtering killing throwing knives at his foes heads even snapping their necks and slitting their throats as Nexus was a trained killing machine. Soon Nexus arrived at his prize as he then grinned at it and took the new tech which in theory should provide someone with Dust Based Abilities depending on what Dust Crystal was inserted but it put too much strain on others so it was logical Nexus can handle it with his Semblance the Thief.
Once Nexus had it on he heard White Fang soldiers entering the lab as he saw that was his cue to leave. Nexus quickly headed back to way he came and went to the main server room as he arrived there taking down any guards in his path and in turn began typing away on the main computer and saw the Self Destruct was there as Nexus smirked. Nexus then had the code transferred to his Scroll as insurance as with one press of a button and the entire base becomes a smoldering crater of pure destruction.
"Missions accomplished." Nexus said as he then removed his visors revealing his crimson red eyes as he headed out to meet with the Fang Member he was to get his payment from.
*End OST
(Later White Fang Encampment)
Nexus arrived as his bike was waiting here while meeting with the Fang Leader as he was being glared at. Once Nexus arrived to the leader Nexus glared at him as this was just business. "Alright the job is done so I expect my payment upfront." Nexus said as he was now wearing an armor set on his left arm as his prize and new weapon.
"Yes I have you payment right here." The Leader said holding his case as Nexus saw something was amiss and decided to play along.
"Down to the last digit?" Nexus asked as he went for the case.
"Of course." He said as Nexus then nodded to him.
"Pleasure doing business with you." Nexus said as once his hand was on the handle he had a gun in his mouth from the leader who then fired it off splattering Nexus head across the ground.
"Fool." The Leader said as the Lien was in the case but he should have known not to take employ from the White Fang the putrid human. "That goes to show you a human can never work with the White Fang." He taunted as soon laughter was heard as everyone was jeering at Nexus and his idiocy. But then another laughter was heard this one standing tall over the others as everyone stopped and saw the laughter was coming from the 'corpse,' as it began to rise back up with the head healing like nothing as Nexus grinned at them.
"I figured you'd all try something like this even after I warned you about the terms of the contract." Nexus grinned as his shark like teeth showed off showing he was going to enjoy what came next for them. "You keep your end and I keep my end we all walk away happy." Nexus said as his shadows began to move about as red eyes appeared in them. "But you cross me… only I walk away happy." Nexus said as his voice became more animalistic if not monstrous to the gathered Faunus seeing his demonic red eyes glaring at them with slits like a beast.
And with that the area was filled with screams as well as the sound of gore and horrors as the White Fang Encampment was being wiped out by one being by one monster. It was early afternoon when it all ended as Nexus was walking to his motorcycle as the blood on him was gone as behind him was something out of your worst nightmares. Corpses and bodies littered the ground as some victims were hanging by their intestines, some were missing there jaw's, some half of their heads, and for the most horrific thing some of them were torn apart and reattached to different limbs and body parts as if some monster decided to play surgeon with them and it wasn't the sane minded surgeon either.
As Nexus walked away he passed by the bodies he had impaled on stakes as they were all dying a slow and painful death or were already dead as Nexus walked with a grin on his face holding his pay + compensation and interest. As Nexus walked he soon heard movement and saw a lone White Fang Member gasping and crying as no doubt he was the lone survivor.
"Hey you." Nexus said as the White Fang was wide eyed as he saw a shadow stand over him and looked to see Nexus as Nexus saw the man was all but pissing and shitting himself. "There are two ways this will end for you both of which involve you dying… now will you die as a dog or shall you die as a maggot." Nexus said as his eyes were glowing red as the man saw he still had his gun. As the Faunus was scared he pointed the gun torts Nexus for a brief second before pointing it at his own head.
When the trigger was pulled the Faunus of the White Fang committed suicide in favor of facing Nexus and whatever he has to offer as Nexus laughed at him. "Faunus my ass you're even lower then what humans claim you as, you are just a cowardly maggot." Nexus said as he then began to walk away to his bike. Once Nexus got on his Motorcycle he turned it on and put his visors back on. Once that was done he activated it and revved the engine before driving off no doubt to cash in on the White Fang Members who had bounties on their heads.
(Scene Break Later)
Nexus was on his motorcycle as he came in for a parking in Vacuo after another Job of his. White Fang hired him to help steal a new Schnee Aura foci experimental and stir trouble for the SDC and well the Mercenary lab experiment was double crossed by the Fang and in turn Nexus dealt with them accordingly. Keep to the contract and he'll be your friend but break that contract in any way you die. As Nexus got off his motorcycle was a single wheeled one that utilized Gravity Dust to stay afloat on its single wheel as the large engine not only weighed to keep it on the ground but also allowed it movement and such to not only make a scene but also handle the transference of the needed force for his bike. The gravity Dust was focused on a side car which he saved in case he ever needed to transport a VIP passenger or precious Cargo.
Nexus got off as he now wore the foci as armor on his left arm as across his face was a bandage and on his head were his shades as he made his way to the Steam train shaped Crime Den. Once Nexus was at the door he took noticed to a truck parked outside with banging coming from the back of the trunk accompanied by yelling as if he had to guess it was another Mercenary stopping for a pit stop as he also noticed other rides here more than normal in fact. Nexus paid it no mind as once he was inside he made his way to the bar stool and sat down and looked.
"Hit me up the hard stuff." Nexus said as he was served his drink which was a shot to which he easily downed as he looked about after dropping the Lien he earned on the table. Once Nexus was done he was served another drink to which he downed it easily. Soon he was approached both another patron as Nexus saw him and ignored him.
"Yo aren't you a bit young to be a Mercenary kid?" He asked as Nexus glared at him.
"Say that to my kill and success count now get lost." Nexus said as he downed his drink as his body would naturally filter it out but he didn't care. He deserved to spoil himself a bit.
"Hey I'm talking to you brat! Kids like you should know then to play with the big men like us!" He said as he grabbed Nexus's hand as that was his last mistake. "Big mistake." Nexus said as he glared at the man as his restrained arm tensed into a fist. "That's a nice semblance you got there mind if I have it?" Nexus said as he then caught he thug by surprised as bone spikes shot out of his arm stabbing his hand and part of his body to which Nexus bent him over the counter and with his now glowing violet hand grabbed his face muffling his screams as he was consumed by him.
Soon the man fell down dead as Nexus saw he was now shriveled up and dissolved into dust with the shocked and scared look on his face to which Nexus paid him no heed while sitting down and eating his drink. The music stopped as all eyes were on Nexus as he went back to his drink as the bartender here was used to this stuff as he sighed. "I'm not a talker punk." Nexus said downing his shot.
"So who wins the Deadpool?" Nexus asked as the Bartender took out the money.
"Nunya." He said as Nexus rolled his eyes as on the wall was a check list of who they thought would die next. So far Nexus had no checks on him showing they tried and all failed.
As the music continued once more as the Mercenaries were enjoying their time Nexus downed another shot as he was about to head out to find some more work when a server walked up to him. "Um compliments of the lady in the back." He said as Nexus saw the lady and a lizard Faunus male with them as the lady gestured for Nexus to come to them.
"Looks like work found me." Nexus said as he then began to make his way to the duo in the back. Once Nexus was upon them he placed his hand on his weapon showing if they attacked he fights back hard and plays for keeps. "What do you want?" Nexus asked as he looked to the two.
"I'm Cord and this is Ebon we're like you mercenaries." Cord said as she looked to Nexus.
"And we have a problem." Ebon said as Nexus glared at them ready to draw his weapon.
"What kind of problem?" Nexus asked as he glared at them as if daring them to try attacking him.
"That guy you just killed was our teammate on a Job that needed three guys that we were performing." Cord said as Nexus looked to them.
"So you need me to fill in then." Nexus said as he knew these type of missions the type only 1 out of the 6 would make it. "Does it pay well?" Nexus asked as he looked to the duo.
"Trust me the cargo we've acquired and are transporting is worth 2 Kings Ransom's." Cord said as she looked to Nexus.
"I see." Nexus said as he looked to them. "I don't mind I had nothing better to do anyway." Nexus said as he agreed without much of a fuss.
"Well that was easy come on we'll show you the cargo just so you know what we're moving." Ebony said as he lead Nexus back outside.
(Outside)
They arrived at the truck as Nexus looked to the back where the banging was going off with rage filled roars as Nexus looked to see the armored vehicle. "Had to make sure this thing was bullet proof the cargo is like a Grimm magnet right now." Cord said as they headed to the back seat.
"Yeah can't risk it apparently our employer wanted this sweet little thing brought to them alive and unharmed as possible." Ebony said as he began to put in the code to which Nexus memorized instantly just by looking at it.
Once the locks came off the yelling became louder as it was female in origins as Nexus wondered what woman was trapped in there. Nexus soon saw a young lady about his physical age charged to the exit only to be held back by chains and Aura restricting cuffs and restraints at her arms, neck, waist, and legs.
"This is the cargo?" Nexus asked as slave trafficking wasn't new to him but all this protection for one girl.
"Yeah this little lady here we got confirmation she's a Schnee family bastard child." Core said which caused the girl to roar and charge at them as Nexus took notice to her crimson red hair as it seems the Schnee family was a touchy subject for her. "Half Schnee and half Faunus our employer probably wants to use this girl for some blackmail on the Schnee family." Core said as she began to close the door back up.
"I see." Nexus said as if this was the case this was a suicide job the employer wanted this kept secret hence why he had a limited amount of Mercs undergo this.
"Yeah... that your bike over there?" Ebony asked as Nexus looked.
"Don't worry I'll drive my bike you take the truck with my ride I can cover you all better from around." Nexus said as he then took his leave for his Motorcycle before stopping. "So who's running this rig?" Nexus asked as soon another person stepped up.
"That would be me." He said as Nexus looked to him and saw his crew gather around him and noticed the kid was 3 years younger than he was.
"Heh is this a joke?" Nexus asked as he was taking orders from a fresh out of juvie 13 year old.
"What was that?!" He asked as Nexus rolled his eyes to the kid.
"Well whatever as long as I get paid and get my cut that all that matters so you have a name kid?" Nexus asked as the 'kid,' glared as he didn't like Nexus tone.
"Alpha." He said as Nexus rolled his eye at him.
"Bet you gave yourself that name." Nexus said as that got a few snickers from the crew. "Anyway I got my ride over there." Nexus began as he pointed to his bike. "I know the frequency we're using so I'll keep up." Nexus said as he headed to his bike putting his visors back on and setting up the frequency for it.
"Good he takes initiative." Core said as she began to load up on the truck with Nexus as Nexus mounted, his bike and pulled down his goggles while the others got there caravan ready.
"So what's the cargo's name?" Nexus asked as he got ready.
"They call her Akane Ketsueki but once we turn her over she'll be known worldwide as Akane Schnee." Core said as she started up the truck.
"Alright let's head out then." Nexus said as he revved the engine and the truck and bike took off down the desert road to the first suicide checkpoint the 'employer,' had set up.
(Down the road)
The caravan comprised of Nexus motorcycle, one armored truck, and an armored assault and recon vehicle were driving down the road as Nexus was taking the lead no doubt due to his motorcycles speed he can scout ahead. "So about this cargo? How much this employer paying?" Nexus asked as he rode down the dirt road of Vacuo.
"Shit load of money enough to buy us a retirement each." Cord said as Nexus heard this and knew money and greed were good enticements for jobs like this.
"So how we splitting it when the job is over?" Nexus asked as he rode down the road with his marry band.
"You don't trust us?" The leader Alpha asked as Nexus rolled his eyes.
"I don't trust anyone it's, how I survive." Nexus said as he rode down the road.
"Jeez talk about hard core." Ebony said as Nexus rolled his eyes to him.
"Anyway when the job is done you get your cut." Alpha said as Nexus saw this kid was inexperienced and in all likely hood will get them all killed.
"Whatever." Nexus said as he counted at least five out of five of these people dying along the way. "So why does our employ need six mercenaries for this cargo of his?" Nexus asked as he drove next to the truck and heard the girl screaming in rage after a bump on the road.
"He made the rules we follow them." Alpha said as Nexus rolled his eyes as he drove with the caravan. "But if you must know he informed us that some of his rivals and enemies would use this cargo to their advantage against him." Alpha said as Nexus saw the holes in the story and knew this was a suicide mission. Nexus knew that and took the jobs anyway knowing he would survive the job easily.
"Sure we do." Nexus said as he didn't play by rules only when it benefits himself. "So what are we expecting Fang, Bandits, Grimm, or authorities?" Nexus asked as Alpha sighed to this.
"All of the above." Alpha said as Nexus then smirked at this.
'My type of tune.' Nexus mentally stated as he was waiting for the blood bath to begin.
(A few hours later)
The drive continued as Nexus took note how this was too easy for them and even as they begin to approach the first checkpoint. The sun was beginning to set as Nexus took note to how it was almost too easy. "Hey guys it's getting late we best set up camp for the night." Nexus said as he drove with them.
"No we keep driving." Alpha said from his Humvee as Nexus rolled his eyes.
"Fine when we crash for whatever reason I'll be sure to tell our employer how we lost his cargo." Nexus said as the crew agreed with him on this.
"Yeah boss I think we should call it quits for tonight set up camp and continue in the morning." Ebony said as the others agreed.
"Fine lets pull over and set up camp." Alpha said as that was agreeable for now as everyone pulled to a nearby dirt road to get camp set up.
(Later that night)
The band of mercenaries were gathered at the camp site as after they warded off a minor Grimm attack Nexus volunteered to guard their resource and cargo. As Nexus sat in the back of the truck with Akane who just glared at him Nexus was peeling an apple with his hunting knife his last memento from Raven and the Branwen Tribe. "Here." Nexus said tossing the apple to Akane who caught it with ease. "Eat can't deliver you starved to death." Nexus said as Akane glared at him as she was hungry.
"Fuck you." Akane cursed as she ate her given food as she glared at him. "I'm just another job right?" Akane accused as Nexus glared at her.
"Yeah you are we'll hit the first checkpoint by morning anyway and once that is done we will be down some mercenaries." Nexus said as Akane looked to him.
"What?" Akane asked as she was confused here.
"Basically put the employer made this a suicide job not witnesses no problem. He only needs one of us to deliver you so he can be silenced then and there." Nexus said as he ate his food. "Its basic strategy if you are a Faunus Schnee that means the Schnee family may very well pay the employer handsomely to keep you out of the public eye or to have you delivered to them." Nexus said as he ate his dried meat calmly.
"And your just going along with it even if you might die?!" Akane accused as Nexus scoffed to that.
"He wishes." Nexus said as he sat calmly enjoying his dried meat.
"Well I guess killing you for the key is out of the question then." Akane said as Nexus saw where this was going even when she didn't buy that he was unbeatable.
"And seducing me is useless also." Nexus said as he glared to Akane who saw Nexus had seen her plan before she performed it.
"Fuck." Akane cursed as she was now stuck here.
"Get some rest chances are we may be hit by White Fang seeing as their splinter cell will gladly kill you to help support their cause to kill all humans on Remnant." Nexus said as he began to get some rest as Akane glared at him.
"Don't worry knowing them they don't need much incentive to come hunting me down." Akane said as she began to rest as she and the White Fang had a history after all. "And when they show up... I'll be free again." Akane said as she sat down and waited before dosing off herself.
"Oh how so?" Nexus asked as he looked to Akane.
"What worried about your lack of pay check?" She asked as she glared at him.
"Yeah I took the job and I'll see it to the end even if I have to carry you over my shoulders like a back of potatoes." Nexus said as he was holding some Dust Crystals in his hand for later use.
"Just like a Mercenary only about his pay not caring about the lives they ruin, not like I have much of a life left to ruin." Akane said as Nexus looked to her.
"Oh figured a half Faunus half Schnee would be pretty celebrated." Nexus said as Akane glared at him.
"Don't taunt me! Ever since I can remember the Faunus and humans they all treated me like shit! I was the target of their hatred, humans saw me as freak of nature and Faunus they saw me as nothing more than a half breed who had no right to be among them!" Akane yelled as Nexus heard her and sighed in response to this.
"I see." Nexus said as Akane then glared.
"Don't go into some fucking bullshit speech on how we're the same! We are NOTHING a like!" Akane yelled as Nexus kept watch of his post.
"Hate to burst your bubble… but you might be wrong." Nexus said as he saw Akane was clearly suffering but he didn't care as he keeps saying she's just a job for him nothing more and nothing else.
(Scene Break that night)
The camp fire was put out as Ebony had first watch as he looked around to make sure no one would sneak up on them. He was almost dozing off waiting for Core to come in and take his place as Nexus was guarding their prisoner. Soon he heard movement as he looked and saw movement to which he grabbed his weapon expecting trouble. He made a poor error in judgment as he lacked night vision goggle which in turn gave their attackers the upper hand. Soon Ebony was grabbed causing him to scream out before his throat was slit as he was soon dead but caught Core's attention.
Core saw this as she glared as she quickly made the warning. "Hey guys we got White Fang!" Core called out as soon many of the White Fang fell in a single strike. She looked and saw Nexus's shadow returning to his as he stood at the trailer with his weapon drawn.
"Pathetic." Nexus said as he took aim and fired at each White Fang holding his weapon in its gun form in one hand not even bothering to take proper aim. Nexus kept firing not even caring that the White Fang was getting close. When they got to the door Nexus shadow acted once more and sliced the head off of the Fang member as Akane saw this and saw Nexus appeared shifting his weapon to its battle axe form and slamming it down creating a shockwave.
Nexus then used his weapon and changed it to its katana form and sliced through them with ease. "To easy." Nexus said calmly not even bothering to cut loose and was soon shot at and sliced by a group of Fang members bum rushing him. Nexus looked at them and scoffed before to Akane's shock bone spikes shot out of his body and the bullets were also absorbed only to be shot out of his body as well as the White Fang members were quickly dealt with. "No survivors." Nexus said as he saw one running away. He converted his weapon to its long range gun form and took aim using a sort of 'third eye,' of his to aim and when he fired the Dust bullet flew strong and true hitting the Faunus in the head with a head shot causing said head to explode in a splatter of blood.
"What the fuck?!" Akane called out as Core and the rest of the crew ran in seeing the damage Nexus did as she was honestly impressed. But Akane saw Nexus' injuries heal leaving behind a sizzling steam as the injury closed on its own.
"Wow maybe you should have soloed this job." Core said as she saw how Nexus pulled this off as Alpha quickly realized that backstabbing him may be a bit of a problem.
"Well if you run I kill simple as that." Nexus said as he looked around. "We best head out now there may be more White Fang members out here." Nexus said as he looked to Akane and rolled his eyes before closing the door on her.
"Yeah that maybe a good call right there." Core said as they should keep moving the sooner they finish this job the better.
"How much longer till dawn?" Alpha asked as his driver Leo looked.
"Not much longer." Leo confirmed as Nexus nodded.
"Come on then." Nexus said as they once more began to drive off to reach the first check point.
(Scene Break the Next Morning Caravan)
The Caravan of Mercs were driving to the first checkpoint as it would be a few minutes before they arrive. "Ok how many do we have left besides myself?" Nexus asked as he did a head count.
"We got me, Core, Leo, and Lyra." Alpha said as he glared at how they got blind-sided. "Which reminds me everyone sound in." Alpha said as Nexus rolled his eyes.
"I'm up front on Triple 6 so far nothing on my scope." Nexus said as he drove with them.
(With Core)
"All clear here but seriously could use a co-driver right now and not my scroll." Core said as she was on a radio with the others.
"Suck it up we have a job to do." Nexus said as they drove.
(With Alpha, Leo, and Lyra)
"All clear over here." Lyra said as she was on the guns and Alpha was on the passenger seat.
(Nexus)
"Is our cargo still healthy?" Nexus asked as he rather get the annoying woman to their target and get it over with.
(Core)
"One second." Core said checking her instruments to look over Akane as the security feed showed her brooding once more as Core nodded. "Yeah she's there, alive, and as angry as ever." Core said as she drove with the others.
(Nexus)
"Got it and the Checkpoint is just ahead of us acts natural." Nexus said as he drove and saw the checkpoint ahead of them as it was a form of look out post for Grimm activity for Research purposes. Nexus drove ahead and noticed the symbols for a place called 'Imperial Industries,' as Nexus knew that name from somewhere. Nexus ignored it and saw the place was sketchy at best as they drove up to meet with the group they were to talk to.
Once the caravan was parked Nexus looked to them as he dismounted his bike for inspection as Alpha got off the car to oversee everything as this was just the first of two checkpoints. "Guess you're the leader." An employee asked as he looked to Nexus as Alpha growled.
"No I am you idiot!" He yelled as Nexus sighed a bit.
"Yeah we lost one of us down the road hopefully we can still do business." Nexus said as he looked to the Employee.
"Of course as long as the cargo is undamaged." The employee said as Nexus nodded and watched them. "If you also wish we can do a quick look over of your gear make sure everything is operating as peak capacity." He said as Nexus glared at them.
"Don't touch my bike." Nexus said as for him it took a long time to get it the way he liked it from stealing, searching, buying, and murdering to get the parts he needed for it. Plus Nexus knew something was fishy and decided to investigate further as he saw how the people avoided the truck and did some work on the Humvee. Nexus activated the security on Triple Six and when it shocked people who got near they knew to steer clear of it.
Nexus then began tailing a random worker and once he had the guy alone slit his throat as cleanly as possible to avoid the possibility of leaving a scene and then consumed his allowing his corpse to dissolve and in turn give Nexus a new form as well as new memories and quickly saw what this was really about. "That sick bastard." Nexus growled as he knew everything and knew what to do next.
(Later)
"Ok we're ready to go." Alpha said as Nexus then stopped Alpha. "Hey boss… sorry about before but I had an idea." Nexus said as he looked to Alpha.
"Talk." Alpha said as Nexus used a semblance he acquired a while back to push things his way.
"Well seeing as you're the leader and the cargo is on the truck why don't you ride in the trailer truck instead of the Humvee. I mean since this operation is under your command it would make sense for you to lead from the Humvee." Nexus said as he was playing with Alpha to make him do as Nexus intended.
"Heh I see what you mean." Alpha said as Nexus nodded as he was manipulating Alpha.
"Plus if the Humvee goes down with you in it we can't talk with the employer about our pay and without our leader we'll end up falling into disorder." Nexus said as he looked to Alpha.
"No arguing with that." Alpha said as he then went to his radio.
"Ok crew change of plans I'm going on the truck with Core the rest of you stick to your normal vehicle." Alpha said as the crew nodded and in turn took there leave of the area no doubt to head out.
Nexus of course knew the Humvee must have been sabotaged or set up with explosives no doubt they would have done the same with Triple 6 if he did not set it up with the security shielding. The group were soon off as no doubt Akane was trying to find a way out to which Nexus had kept one of his familiars in the trailer with her to keep a close eye on her. Needless to say Nexus couldn't help but remember his own past as Akane was in a similar state as he was no doubt like him an outcast to Remnant. He didn't care… but a small part of him found kinship from her somehow which was odd since Nexus wasn't like her in species but like her at the same time.
"Focus on the job at hand." Nexus said as once everyone was loaded they headed out to get to the next check point down the road to the drop off point.
(Scene Break three hours later)
The crew was once more on the road as Nexus had a timer out as he knew they were attacked by nightfall of their first departure as he needed to consider every possibility to confirm if this was a suicide job or not. Normally Suicide Jobs involved the employ being unaware of this fact and the employer would pay people from bandits to crooks to get in the employ's way to pick them off one by one. Nexus knew many mercenaries can easily be bought for silence or information hence why Nexus would applaud the employ for taking precautions like this.
As they drove Nexus waited no doubt expecting something to happen as they met with a few Grimm on the way no doubt attracted by their own negative emotions and Akane's which Nexus knew was like a 'come get me,' beacon for the Grimm. No doubt Akane is keeping herself angry and pissed off to attract the Grimm to hopefully break her out of the trailer so she can escape during the chaos. Nexus saw that was not a bad plan and if executed properly no one would know she was gone till it was too late for them.
But as they drove the Humvee soon exploded as Nexus saw this as did Alpha and Core forcing them to stop as they saw the Humvee was now a smoldering wreck. Nexus got off Triple 6 and went to investigate as Alpha ran over to it as well. "What the hell?!" Alpha yelled in shock as Nexus looked it over.
"Not good." Nexus said as he looked over the wreckage and found traces of explosives.
"Not good how?" Alpha asked as Nexus looked to this.
"Someone is targeting you figures since if you're the leader whoever we're keeping away from the cargo will target you first to put us in chaos." Nexus said as he was lying through his teeth. "No doubt a splinter cell among our Employers own payroll." Nexus said as he got up and looked around for any White Fang.
"Great more problems." Alpha said as it was just the three of them now as Nexus saw the burnt corpses of Leo and Lyra.
"We're going to have to see this job through to the end." Nexus said as he knew what was needed. "Best to drive till nightfall with less of us it means we can be better rested and ready in case of a sneak attack." Nexus said as Alpha was about to protest but Nexus stopped him. "Please we need our leader so it's best we keep you in tip top shape." Nexus lied as he was using Alpha's inflated ego to his advantage.
"Ok." Alpha said agreeing as Nexus saw his plan was working flawlessly. Unaware to any of them a Seer Grimm was watching their movements as it was more focused on Nexus and Akane then anything as unaware to them someone had taken an interest in them.
(With Salem)
"Now this is interesting." Salem said as she saw through the Seer what Nexus has been doing and how he was easily manipulating the mercenaries he had allied himself with. "Funding his ambition and that girl." Salem continued as she saw the Schnee/Faunus half breed. "She may prove to be a valuable Maiden Candidate perhaps better then Watts original candidate." Salem said as she then saw Watts enter the room.
"You called milady?" Watts asked as Salem nodded to him.
"Yes I want you to gather every bit of information you have on the Mercenary Nexus his past origins, all of his exploits, and anything else of relevance." Salem ordered as Watts nodded.
"It shall be done milady." Watts said as Salem nodded to him as he left as Salem then continue her viewing of Nexus.
'Perhaps he may prove to be a valuable asset and ally in the coming battles." Salem said with a smirk as she had only seen a mere fraction of what Nexus could do that it oddly excited her to see what else he was capable of.
(Scene Break that Night)
Nexus was once more with Akane taking guard duty of her as Akane was in the corner in a fetal position brooding as Nexus had threw to her some better food then the apple. Akane opened it and revealed a steaming plate of food as Akane saw it was from Nexus who was enjoying his own meal in peaceful silence. "Do you even know what they plan to do with me once your job is finished?" Akane asked as Nexus sighed.
"I have a few clues on that." Nexus said as the thing he saw in the workers mind made him want to murder the entire company he worked with. "None of them in your best interest." Nexus said as he ate his food not even bothering to look at her.
"Then why do you keep it up?" Akane asked as she then scoffed to scold herself. "Why am I even asking you're just in it for the money a job like this is your go to means of funding." Akane scoffed as she glared at Nexus who then sighed to her.
"Maybe… but if the employer doesn't pay me… he doesn't get you." Nexus said as he finished his food and began to sleep.
"Wait what?!" Akane demanded a she tried to get to Nexus but not only was she too far by the chains length but also Nexus was already snoring asleep. "Dammit." Akane cursed as she saw Nexus was already asleep. Akane then finished her food and went to sleep herself no doubt it was going to be a long day tomorrow.
(Scene Break the Next Day)
Nexus was once more on Triple 6 as they were arriving at the last checkpoint before the drop off point. As they drove Nexus glared at it as he already saw the telltale signs of bad things to come. Nexus anticipated this but even he hated annoyances like the one appearing before them. Now it was just down to himself, Alpha, and Core as Akane was still in the trailer. As Nexus drove he took note to three white claw marks small and hidden on the wall as Nexus saw what this was.
"Hey guys keep driving and do not stop." Nexus ordered as Alpha looked confused.
"Why?" Alpha asked as Nexus was ready to book it.
"Because we may have just drove right into an ambush." Nexus said as if to answer his statement explosions and gun fire was heard as they all saw and in turn Nexus saw White Fang members as they aimed for the trucks wheels flattening them with ease as Nexus saw them all. "Dammit all." Nexus cursed as they had to fight their way out now.
"Dammit protect the cargo!" Alpha ordered as Nexus saw this as he saw Alpha and Core jump out of the truck to protect what they were transporting.
Nexus growled a bit as he got off Triple 6 and began fighting his way through the White Fang as they fired at him. Nexus deflected and redirected the bullets with ease as he came at a Fang Member and sliced his head clean off before stabbing one behind him. Nexus then fired as the one behind him was torn apart while the one behind the stabbed victim was shot dead.
Nexus roared out as he cleaved his way through his foes as he wasn't getting angry and he wasn't one for anger as he then grabbed a White Fang Member and slammed his head to the ground splattering it in a gory mess of blood and brain matter. Nexus wasn't done as he then went for his halberd and brought the building down atop the Fang Member as there were still more of them as Nexus saw them shooting at the truck as the idiot mercenaries were using it as cover.
"Core circle around!" Alpha ordered as Core nodded but as she did so she was soon shot in the head as Nexus saw this and saw the bad strategy Alpha used.
"That idiot." Nexus growled as he wasted a perfectly good ally for nothing. As Nexus fought his way through his foes he saw they were starting to regroup as Nexus then cursed as he had to use it. "Alpha get under the trailer now!" Nexus ordered as the two saw Nexus was standing atop of it as he got ready.
As the White Fang were moving in Nexus body began to catch flame as his Aura was mixed in with it. Once Nexus built up enough power he began to get ready as he gritted his teeth and growled before roaring out as the power was released as the White Fang who all got caught in it were burned to ashes as they each died from exposure to his power.
Once Nexus was done he jumped down and saw Alpha crawl out of the trailer Nexus was already looking over the truck.
"Well?" Alpha asked as Nexus then slammed the hood.
"Beyond repair it's not going anywhere." Nexus growled as he began to walk to the back of the trailer. "And it's all your fault." Nexus said as Alpha glared at him.
"How is this my fault?" Alpha asked as Nexus then grabbed Alpha and slammed him to the trailer.
"You made bad calls left and right and I covered for you on those calls! You wouldn't have gotten this far if it weren't for me." Nexus growled as Alpha glared back.
"I've been running this operation from the beginning!" Alpha yelled as Nexus then slammed him again and head butted him as Alpha cried out in pain.
"No when I joined I took over and just used you as a puppet. News flash our 'employer,' is planning on killing us off using the drop off scenario to pick us off one by one so he can have little trouble dealing with the last of us. News flash Alpha you weren't going to get paid and if you were knowledgeable enough you would have seen it!" Nexus yelled as he then slammed Alpha down.
"Shut up!" Alpha roared trying to punch Nexus who caught it with ease.
"Let's see my resources I have the only working set of wheels left in this rig, you have nothing but a few weak and useless guns and our cargo." Nexus said as he glared at Alpha.
"So I'll finish this job then so give me your wheels." Alpha growled as Nexus scoffed at him.
"Have you been listening this job will end in your life… but if you want my wheels you can have them." Nexus said before reeling back his fist and knocking Alpha's lights out.
Nexus then walked over to the trailer after taking Alpha's controller and opened it as Akane saw this. "What's going on out there?" Akane asked as Nexus then pressed the button freeing Akane.
"Your being let out once this job is done, I'll get you there and then get you out." Nexus said as he glared at Akane. "But first we have a little brat to deal with." Nexus said as Akane saw this.
(Later)
Alpha came to and found his body frozen in ice to restrain him as he saw Akane smiled at him with a smirk as she was on the side car of Triple 6. "W-what is going on?" Alpha stuttered as Nexus then revved the engine as Alpha was wide eyed to see the wheel of Nexus bike coming torts him.
"This… is your pink slip Alpha." Nexus said as he came closer bit by bit as Alpha was shocked to see what Nexus was going to do. "You've been relieved of duty and now I'll take over." Nexus continued as he got the motorcycle closer and closer to Alpha's head.
"N-no wait please! Don't do this!" Alpha begged as Nexus glared at him and then smirked.
"You chose to stand against me as a dog so you will die like a dog." Nexus said as he got closer as Akane smiled at this as she may dislike Nexus but she did like his tastes as Nexus came closer to Alpha's head to the point his head was right next to the wheel as the clamps of it began to dig into his skin causing him to scream in pain and fear while also crying for his life tears included.
"Please I'll give you anything, money resources you name it is, yours!" He begged as Nexus then grinned at Alpha.
"Oh you already gave it to me… your life." Nexus said as Alpha then screamed only for it to be silenced as Nexus got the wheel over Alpha's head crushing it in a mess of gore and blood as his eyeball was attached still as his brain juices mixed with his blood making a puddle of what was once Alpha's head. Nexus then revved the engine again causing the wheel to grind the remains of Alpha's head before he and Akane drove off.
"Now what?" Akane asked as she was now wearing goggles Nexus gave her as he drove the bike.
"We set up camp and talk strategy." Nexus said as Akane looked surprised by this.
"Wait strategy?" Akane asked in shock as she looked to Nexus.
"We're going to kill the employer and now that the annoyances are dealt with we have no more distractions." Nexus said as he drove off with Akane on the side car.
(Scene Break that night)
The two were sitting on a campfire as Akane was eating some food Nexus had hunted while Nexus was carving something with Raven's dagger. "So… you're going to kill your employer, take his money for everything he was worth and let me go?" Akane asked as Nexus looked to her and nodded.
"That's the plan." Nexus said as he kept carving. "And once it's done you'll never have to deal with a monster like myself." Nexus said as Akane looked to him in shock.
"How can you see yourself as a monster? You were only acting as anyone else would." Akane said as Nexus then sighed to her.
"Difference is I enjoyed it… I felt a sense of pride and pleasure putting those like him in his place." Nexus said as he then smirked a bit. "For me Remnant rejected me left and right so in turn if they wanted to make a monster out of me due to my origins then a monster they shall receive." Nexus said as Akane looked to him in shock.
"Your origins?" Akane asked as Nexus looked to her.
"None of your concern." Nexus said as Akane then sighed a bit and smiled.
"I guess… we're both sort of monsters." Akane said as she began to trace the empty stick that once had her food on the ground.
"You're no monster." Nexus said as Akane then glared at him.
"Wanna bet?" Akane asked as Nexus then got comfortable on his rock.
"Try and prove me wrong." Nexus said as Akane then sighed to him thinking it was better a stranger like Nexus than anyone else.
"My father… was an Avian Faunus of course he lost his Faunus parts during an accident and well looked like any normal human." Akane said as she began to tell her tale. "Then he met my mother Willow Schnee who was not only drunk out of her mind… but trying to get away from her husband or so he told me. One thing led to another and they had a one night stand which in 9 months resulted with me." Akane said as she kept drawing no doubt her night vision being a great help for her.
"So for the next 10 years of my life… I lived on Menagerie and let's just say I wasn't the most liked girl in my neighborhood. The Faunus all looked at me with hatred, disgust, and scorn that I felt like I was lost. So during a trip to Mistral I was hoping for better results… but I ended up in the same situation humans hated me because of my Faunus blood and Faunus hated me because of my human blood." Akane said as she kept drawing.
"So one day I joined the White Fang and there I met Sienna Kahn who was both mentor and mother for me when I had none." Akane said as she smiled to herself. "She believed in me when no one else would she put her faith in me when everyone wanted me dead. It was thanks to her that I was able to stand up to Adam my biggest of tormentors as an equal and show him his place." Akane smirked as she then got sad.
"One day… during a mission I and my team were attacking a SDC Dust Mines and well it was found to be a trap by bad Intel. I took charge and did my best but in a dire situation my Semblance activated at the worst possible time." Akane said before she summoned a Schnee Glyph as Nexus saw this. "Needless to say since we were at a Schnee Dust Mine and I showed the Semblance of the Schnee family my own soldiers and team turned on me." Akane growled crushing the Glyph in her hand. "They turned on me and treated me like a monster and I was alone more alone then I thought possible. And what made it worse my father my own father who showed me nothing but distance and this cold aloof nature did the one act of fatherly love for me and used a Portal Semblance to get me to safety." Akane teared up as she gritted her teeth refusing to let her tears fall.
"So I spent 3 months alone in the Cold Mountains of Atlas before finding civilization and in turn made my way to Vacuo hoping to start fresh." Akane confessed as she then sighed. "One thing lead to another and these punks catch me and well the rest is history." Akane confessed as she looked to Nexus.
"I see." Nexus said as he looked to Akane and then sighed.
"Yeah and ever since that betrayal… I've been killing them off one by one I didn't care if they were once my allies and I still don't they call themselves the speakers of Faunus demanding equality but they are no better than the humans they hate to the point they'd never acknowledge a hybrid of human and Faunas!" Akane yelled as she then glared. "I want to kill them I want to kill them all, they wanted to make a monster out of me for things outside my control so be it I want as much power as I can get just so I can make them all pay for the years of hell and torture they put me through!" Akane yelled as Nexus the appeared next to her hugging her surprising her.
"Trust me… I l know how it feels." Nexus confessed as he sat next to Akane.
"So what's your story then?" Akane asked as Nexus then sighed and told Akane her story. He told her from his earliest memory to now as Akane was shocked to hear this. "Wow that's fucked up." Akane said as she realized Nexus was a weapon for Atlas who went AWOL.
"Yeah they rejected me so I stood alone and even now I still stand alone." Nexus said as he glared at the fire as Akane then began to get comfortable as if to comfort Nexus.
"Maybe you don't have to stand alone." Akane suggested as Nexus looked to her in shock. "You want to create a new world right… maybe I want to be in the world also with you to uses its soils as a foundation for a new world." Akane said as Nexus then smiled to her and put his arm around her shoulders as it was clear he was very awkward about this.
"Maybe… we can share that world if the stars put it in our path." Nexus said as the two then smiled to each other as both ended up blushing at their close proximity before separating. "I um… will take first watch." Nexus said as Akane nodded in response.
"Of course I'll go to sleep." Akane said heading to the sleeping bag Nexus provided for her and fell into dream land as Nexus held his chest in shock.
"What was that?" Nexus asked as he felt what he assumed was his heart beating like a jack hammer.
"What was that?" Akane asked as she never felt like this around anyone before not even Sienna.
One thing was for sure the night would be very awkward for them.
(Scene Break Next Morning Vacuo)
The two arrived in Vacuo as Nexus was driving to their destination as he made sure Akane was cuffed to help with appearances as once they got to the garage area Nexus began to climb the steps to meet with his contact. Once inside they saw a pig of a man as this disgusting thing was clearly the company head as Nexus glared at him as he was even drooling.
"At last my bride and my key to the Schnee family fortune." He said grinning at Akane as Nexus glared at him as Akane glared at Nexus. As the man was about to put his hands on Akane Nexus stopped him with a glare and pulling Akane back.
"Not so fast my good sir, payment first." Nexus said as the man nodded as he then waved his hand.
"Here you go a case of unmarked Lien." He began as Nexus took the case and saw the Lien was there and all accounted for. "And one last reward." He said as Akane walked over to the man. Soon he snapped his fingers revealing the entire room was filled with armed soldiers and guards as Nexus saw them all. "A body full of bullets." He said as Nexus saw this as the man smirked at him while laughing as his laugh has snorts painting more of his pig like image.
"I see so this was the end game of the job." Nexus said as he looked around and watched. "Guess it can't be helped." Nexus said as he was about to grab his Void gear but a warning shot was heard.
"Just so you know if you do get out the police will be here before you can even blink." He said as Nexus then sighed as he looked around.
"I guess this is where my ticket is punched…" Nexus began as he then grinned. "See you… in Hell." Nexus said as soon the guns were all fired at Nexus filling his body with bullets of dust as this was over kill but Nexus was simply waiting for them to run out of ammo. Akane played her roll screaming in terror as the terror was real in some part as she had no idea how powerful Nexus regenerative abilities were. Soon once the gun fire was over Nexus was on the ground 'dead,' as the pig man was laughing as he took Akane by her arm almost licking her.
"Now come on my lovely bride we have a wedding to get ready for… or a ransom whichever I prefer." HE said as soon laughter was heard as everyone was gasping as they looked to Nexus. His injuries were being healed by black shadows sizzling as Nexus rose up like a reanimated corpse as he then grinned at them all clearly letting his bloodlust out.
"Nice try." Nexus said as he then made a huge grin as it was clear he anticipated this happening. "My turn." Nexus said before his shadows came out and from his familiars came forth and all took aim with rifles of their own. In turn they began firing at all the guards above as Nexus laughed. Soon the security guards on the ground charged at Nexus as Nexus took the guns from his familiars and began firing his rifles at his foes and when he ran out of ammo switched to another set showing Nexus wasn't one to die so easily.
Soon Nexus was upon the pig man as he was shocked and soon cried out in pain as he looked and saw Akane had stabbed him with Nexus dagger as she was grinning herself as if deriving a sick twisted sense of pleasure from the slaughter. The man was shocked as Nexus smiled at him as Akane did as well. "Now then… how do you want to die?" Nexus asked as Akane then smiled as she had her own to add.
"Slow and painful or horrific and agonizing?" Akane asked as the man was shocked before he could speak Akane cut him off. "Too late!" Akane called out as soon she slit his throat and then Nexus send shadow tendrils at him which stabbed into him and absorbed his memories. Nexus then smirked as the man fell down as only his clothing was left as Nexus then took out his scroll and accessed his accounts transferring all of his funds into his own accounts.
Soon police sirens were heard as Nexus saw this and saw the police and SWAT teams gathered outside. It didn't take them long to sneak on thought as both Nexus and Akane saw the SWAT Teams inside with them as Nexus glared at them all as he had an idea.
(Outside)
*insert Hellsing OST: Left Foot Trapped in a Sensual Seduction
Everyone watched wondering what was going on before out of nowhere large pillars of ice appeared in the shape of stakes as they were mixed with white bone like marbles as soon the sound of gunfire was heard inside. Soon screaming and horrific sounds were also heard as everyone began to get worried until the windows and glass doors all shattered with SWAT Members still alive as they flew torts the stakes and in turn were impaled on them as people were screaming in terror and shock at what they saw.
Soon the camera's and lights were on Nexus and Akane as they began to walk out using masks they made or had taken as people were all in shock at what they saw behind them. This mask would be an iconic image for those who would see it for days to come as Nexus and Akane stopped standing side to side as the two glared at those who stood in their way.
"Follow me lead." Nexus ordered as Akane then smirked as she brought forth her summoning Glyphs as from them Beowulfs, Creepers, and Boarbatusks came out all roaring as Nexus then grinned as the duo plus summoning's all charged straight to the crows as police all fired at them.
But it proved to be ineffective as once the chaos started people were running away as Nexus and Akane both side by side took out the entire Vacuo law enforcer's the best Vacuo had to offer until all that was left was the blood stain on the streets. Nexus the pulled out his scroll summoning Triple 6 and in turn the bike activated and drove torts them as it easily broke out of the chains and clamps placed on it as it then arrived to the duo.
Nexus then got on as he then waited as he tapped his fingers a bit. "What?" Akane asked as Nexus then sighed a bit.
"Get on we don't have much time." Nexus said as Akane was surprised by this and then made a sadistic grin of her own and got on the bike on the side car.
"Where to then Nexus?" Akane asked as Nexus grinned a bit as well.
"Where our next hunt waits for us..." Nexus said as he then revved the engine and in turn the two were off to parts unknown. For Nexus it was child's getting out as once he was out he and Akane drove out the same gates they drove into and off to the deserts that make up Vacuo. AS they drove they had no idea of the Seer that had watched them from start to finish as it seems this chapter of their tale was not over… not yet.
*End OST
(Scene Break Sunset Cliff)
*Insert Hellsing Ultimate OST Gradus Vita
The two were now parked overlooking Vacuo as Nexus and Akane saw it and Nexus then grinned to himself giving Akane a smile as the way she looked as the sun cascaded her body and her wings angled just right. In Nexus mind Akane was one thing for him and even a Monster can admire beauty. "An angel." Nexus said as Akane heard this as she smiled at Nexus.
"If I'm your angel then you're my demon." Akane said as Nexus smiled to her as the two now stood side by side. "So still plan on standing alone love?" Akane asked as Nexus then smirked at her.
"Maybe… maybe it's time for this demonic monster to no longer stand against the world alone." Nexus said as Akane smiled as she sat next to Nexus.
"Then I see this world will learn our names Nexus." Akane said as she smiled at Nexus whose name she had learned during this entire trip.
"Yes you and I the monster born by man diving into forbidden knowledge and you the monster half-breed born from hatred shall set out upon Remnant because if they do not stand with us…" Nexus said as Akane smiled.
"Then they stand against us." Akane said as she could hardly wait for the slaughter to begin.
"And when the day comes when our time comes." Nexus said as Akane nodded.
"When that time for our ascension begins…" Akane continued as they both agreed on one thing.
"WE RISE TOGETHER!" They both called out as they had attracted the attention of a certain being and now she was deeply interested in these two.
(With Salem)
Salem smiled at what her Seer showed her as she then smiled at this. Nexus and Akane they were different and from what Watts was able to show her on Nexus these two were worthy of their cause. Soon she saw Nexus looking at the Seer as with Akane before they both shot at it cutting off its connection as Salem smiled to this.
Salem then began to make her way to her meeting room as it was time to bring two more to join their ranks.
(Later meeting Room)
Salem walked in and in turn found Blaze, Ico, Watts, Tyrion, Hazel, and Cinder waiting for her as they all sat at their designated seats. They all stood up as Salem then took her seat as she then sat down. "Sit." Salem ordered as they all did as told. "As you know Ozpin has access too many armors at his disposal… and counting my own we only have three active armors on our side." Salem said as Watts heard this.
"Milady what of Solomon?" Watts asked as Hazel nodded to this.
"He's currently not among us but as long as he does not stand against us he is free to do as he pleases unless I say otherwise." Salem said as she then sighed as on the table behind her was a Dragon Dagger of sorts as Salem had that with her longer than anyone could know as near it was the stair to a familiar alter or in Salem's case a tomb for a beloved family member. "Now I believe it's time we add two more to our brood." Salem said as she then showed the images of Nexus and Akane or in Ico's case there signatures to be tracked.
"Tyrion, Cinder, and Blaze." Salem began as the three stood up. "I want you three to work together and track them down." Salem began s Blaze scoffed as Cinder didn't see much of these two as Tyrion laughed. "And bring them here and do not be afraid to test Nexus strength I Want to see what his powers are capable of." Salem said as she had been keeping a close eye on them.
"Milady why the girl though?" Cinder asked as Salem smiled to her.
"If you are to become our Fall Maiden Cinder… then she is to become our Winter Maiden." Salem said as she then looked over the files Watts was able to acquire for her that wasn't classified from him.
"And if I may… why recruit the boy?" Hazel asked as Salem then grinned to him as it almost matched Nexus own grin.
"I believe we may have located a candidate for the Armor of Dark Knight Kiba." Salem said as everyone was shocked by this that Salem after so long has chosen someone to done the Black Armor of the Dark Knight Kiba. After all Garo was considered the Knight of Light and Kiba his eternal nemesis was known as the Knight of Darkness. If Ozpin acquires Garo then with Kiba it will tip the balance in their favor.
"As you wish." Blaze said as they were then dismissed as Salem was smirking to herself as she watched the picture of Nexus with glee.
'Now then Nexus… let us see if you are truly worthy to be a child of mine.' Salem thought as she wanted to see if Nexus truly was worth the blood that flows through his veins… her blood.
(End Part 2)
ESKK: Well this might as well be a chapter at this point but hey more Nexus and his origins. So I hope you all enjoy and until the final two parts as I say leave me a review and ja-ne.
