Chapter 31

Hi guys! I want to thank Axel The Moon for sending me some interesting OCs that I'll insert inside the story! Anyway let's get to the new chapter! White Fang HQ, Morning

Syura has been a little bit nervous since the failure of the attack to the Belladonnas, now the faunus of Menagerie allied with the New Empire.

"Tsk! I should have been there. If I was , now I would be celebrating the defeat of my enemies" He said as he punched the wall. He heard the sound of footsteps behind him and when he turned in the direction of the sound, he saw Dorothea, who was smiling at him

"Tell me that you have good news" He said with an angered tone

"I don't have good news…" Syura flinched and felt his anger grew stronger "I have great news" Dorothea said with a wide sick smile

Syura sighed in relief "Oh finally, tell me everything" he said with a new found confidence

"It's better if I show you" She said as she began to walk in the direction of an metal door. Syura followed her and together walked through the door entering in some kind of lab full of incubators but all of them were covered by some tarpaulins. Dorothea approached one incubator and removed the cover.

Syura's jaw dropped in disbelief "Is that what I think it is?"

"If you are thinking of an augmented Soldier with an insatiable thirst for blood protected by Aura then yes" Dorothea said with a cheerful tone "I know, I know. My Alchemy is the best" She said proud of herself

Syura looked at the soldier. The soldier was very tall, the mask of the White Fang was fused with his face. His body was very muscular, Syura could see veins pulsing a strange green liquid

"He is in a perpetual state of pain" Dorothea said as she touched the glass of the incubator "He is always enraged"

"How can you control them?" Syura asked curios

Dorethea took out something from her pocket and showed it to Syura, it was a remote "With this I can control them and if I press this button" she pressed one of the button and the soldier squirmed in agony, much to Dorothea amusement "They can resist against many types of Dust and also to lightning, they can stay alive even at very low temperature and little caliber bullets are ineffective and of course they have Aura so they will not be easy to take down"

"This is just perfect, how many of them we have?" Syura asked anxious to see these abominations in action

"Two hundred but they will be more for when we'll attack Haven" Dorothea replied with a sick smile on her face

"Good, very good. You did well, keep it up" Syura said as he walked away

'I have some plans to do' he thought

Haven Academy

Today classes were ended, a young boy with brown hair and blue eyes with a pair of wolf ears was walking back to the students dorm. His name was Azure , he was wearing a white longcoat over a blue shirt and his body armor and black jeans.

'Man, I want to bury myself in the bed, I should do my homework tough…nah I'll just copy them from Gray' Azure thought as he yawned, then suddenly something stung his ear

Azure growled and turned to face a girl

"I thought I told you to not touch my ears, Regalia" Azure said annoyed as he looked at the girl called Regalia. She was one of his teammates, Regalia Nikos. She had a long brown hair and green eyes. She was wearing a blue armor with a white scarf and a waistcoat, while her cleavage can be shown, revealing her bust size.

"Yes, and I decided to ignore you" Regalia said with a cheerful smile "And also I needed to test my new stealth level" she added

Azure was about to reply when he felt that somebody was watching them, his ears stood up and he looked at his surroundings, Regalia noticed his behavior and activated her semblance.

Regalia's semblance allowed her to perceive the world as a videogame, with all the features of a gamer

Her eyes began to glow as she scanned the forests that surrounded the academy, after a few moments she found what she was looking for. There were two men inside of the forests

"There is somebody in the forest" She whispered to Azure

"The White Fang?" He asked as he looked at Regalia with a serious expression "Can you scan them?"

Regalia nodded , she looked at the two men and proceed with her scan

Name: unknown

Gender: unknown

Race: unknown

Level: 60/55

Strength: A/ A-

Ability: B-/ B

Stealth: B/ B

Weakness: unknown

Resistance: Unknown

Faction: unknown

Regalia sighed "No, it's not the White Fang, they are too strong to be with them"

"Let's return the others, we have to tell to Saturn about this" Azure said as he began to walk

Regalia nodded and together returned to the dorms

At the New Empire hideout

Tatsumi was in the command room, he was talking with a soldier when Najenda approached him

"Tatsumi, the recon squad has returned from the mission" She said as he handed to Tatsumi a report

"Thanks" he said as he dismissed the soldier and took the report

"By the way, why you ordered this recon?" Najenda asked curios

"I wanted to know more about of Leonardo Lionheart" Tatsumi replied "But seems like there is nothing much to say about him"

"I see…" Najenda said "You are starting to learn how to act like a leader huh?" She added with a smile

Tatsumi smiled back "Yeah"

Back at Haven Academy

Azure and Regalia quickly returned to their room where their other companions were waiting for them.

The first one was Toupee Gray, he had black hair and amber eyes. He was wearing a black hooded long coat that he always wear to cover his face, with black pant and some black body armor within his coat. Gray didn't speak much only when necessary.

The other one was the professor Saturn Green, due some particular he was allowed to join Azure's team. Saturn looked like a young man, he had a dark green hair and green eyes. The professor was a role model for all of three of them and they respected him.

Together they form team STAR

"Saturn we need to talk" Azure said with a serious tone

"Is something happened?" Saturn replied worried

"There was somebody in the forest" Regalia said

Saturn narrowed his eyes "The Whi-" he was interrupted by Regalia, who shook his head

"No, they were different from the fangs" She replied

Saturn thought for a moment "Tonight we'll investigate" he stated

Azure sighed "But I wanted to sleep tonight" he muttered

Regalia giggled and Gray simply snorted

Back at the NE hideout, evening

Esdeath decided that the new recruits had enough training for today, although she made this decision just because she wanted to stay with Tatsumi. She walked in the command room but she didn't found him, so she returned to their quarters and finally she found him lying on the bed alone. Esdeath sat beside him and smiled

"I take it has been a rough day for you as well" She said with a gentle tone

"Nah, there are just many things that I need to take care of, but it isn't that bad." Tatsumi replied then suddenly he grabbed Esdeath's hand "Y'know, I wanted to ask you something" she looked at her in the eyes "would you like to go somewhere tomorrow? I feel like I'm neglecting you too much "

Esdeath smiled "no, you haven't neglected me, you were just too much worried with other things like your duties and your daughter…" she said as she began to think

Tatsumi looked at her and then he realized something "Es, are you jealous?"

Esdeath looked at him with a little blush "It's just that I don't like to lose against that pinkette" she said

Tatsumi gulped "S-so you want a baby?" he asked as he felt a little scared by the answer

Esdeath stayed silent for a few seconds before she spoke again "Not now at least. First we need to defeat Salem then maybe…we can think about having a child" she said as she turned a little more red

Tatsumi nodded and silence fell upon them. Esdeath lay down on next to him, enjoying the warmth of his hand. The two remained like that until they fell asleep.

Meanwhile

Mine was checking on Mitsu, the little girl was resting inside her baby cot. Her mother was looking over her with tender eyes while behind her ,the door was slowly opening.

Akame entered the room with light steps in order to not wake up Mitsu, she approached Mine and putted her hand on her shoulder

Mine turned in Akame's direction and smiled.

"Are you alright? I heard about the White Fang attack at Menagerie " Akame asked to Mine

Mine nodded and sighed "I never been so scared in my entire life" the pink haired girl looked at her hand and saw that it was shaking "those bastards wanted to take Mitsu and give her to Champ, the only thought make my skin crawl " she said with a weak voice

Akame hugged her friend "That will never happen, I'll eliminate anybody that even tries to do something to Mitsu " she assured her friend

"Thanks" Mine managed to say as she hugged back Akame. After a few moments of silence, Akame spoke "Najenda wanted to talk to you about your Task Force"

Mine nodded and broke the hug then she walked to the door but she stopped at the edge.

"Y'know, I'd like to have you as Mitsu's godmother" she said "but be grateful!"

Akame nodded and smiled "sure, I'm honored "

Mine smiled "good, can you look over Mitsu until I return? I'll try to make it quick "

Akame nodded again and Mine left the room

Akame approached Mitsu and checked if she was okay, but she found out that the little girl was staring at her with curiosity in her eyes. Akame giggled and patted Mitsu's head but suddenly both of their stomachs growled.

"Do you want something to eat?" Akame asked and Mitsu smiled "me too, let's get something to eat " she added as she carefully picked up the little girl

At the training room

Wave was standing in front of team RWBY, beside him there was Kurome, Liver and Bulat

"So what we are doing here?" Yang asked with a smirk

"Yeah, I want to know too" Weiss added

Wave smiled and took a step forward

"Well from now on we'll be a squad and since I am the leader, I decided to practice our teamwork " he explained

"And why you are the leader?" Yang teased him

"Oh, because I also have a dragon as armor and also because Tatsumi said so" he replied

In the other side of the room, there was team JNPR with Leone, Susanoo, Lubbock and Sheele

Leone smirked "Well then, looks like you are under my command huh?"

"mmh yes?" Jaune replied

"I think that was a rhetorical question" Ren said to Jaune

"oh" the blonde knight managed to say

"Can we break some legs?!" Nora asked excited

Leone seemed amused by the question "Absolutely yes, you can break everything except your allies" she replied

"YES!" Nora exclaimed as she raised her hammer in the air

"Now, here's your first lesson: Dodge" The blonde Faunus said

"Dodge?" Jaune but then suddenly Pyrrha pushed him away, making him dodge Susanoo's mace "What the hell?!" the knight said with a shocked tone

"We believe that experience is the best teacher" Leone said as she got her fighting stance

And so Team RWBY and JNPR began their brand new hellish training.

In the hallways of the hideout

Najenda was walking headed to the command room, she needed to check some things. Najneda saw Qrow walking in her direction, he looked tired.

"You look horrible" Najenda said

"Thanks" Qrow replied sarcastically

"Wanna go to get something to drink outside?" The general asked as she decided that she would check those things later

Qrow looked surprised, but then he smirked "Don't you have your general duties?"

"There are three important thing in the army: Duty, Obedience and Loyalty. The Duty every soldier has to dream for a bright future. The Obedience that every soldier must have in order to survive. And the Loyalty every soldier should have for their leader and those that they protect. Of course for a general, the Loyalty must be earned . I know that you don't trust me, but as a general it is my duty to take care of my subordinates and right now you look like someone who needs a drink" Najenda replied

"Can't argue with that. Follow me, I know a place" the man replied as he began to walk to the exit of the hideout

On a rooftop of Mistral

Saturn was looking at the streets, behind him there were Azure, Gray and Regalia.

"Saturn, why we don't call the others? Together we'll find those men more quickly" Regalia asked

"It's simple dear, these people, as you said before, aren't normal thugs, they are professionals. If we start to look for them in numbers, they will disappear" Saturn replied as he saw someone in the streets "Qrow Branwen"

"Do you know him?" Azure asked

"I worked with him once…a very unpleasant situation" Saturn explained

"Who's is the lady with him? What the ? She is a level 120?!" Regalia said shocked

"I don't know but we are gonna to find out" The green haired man replied as he began to descend from the rooftop

In a bar

"And then I threw the head of the Atlesian knight at her feet, you should have seen her face, a true masterpiece" Qrow said, making Najenda laugh

"I would have paid to saw Winter's face" The general said as she took a sip of her drink

Then a group of people entered the bar, they were three students and older man

"Hey! I don't want minors in my bar" The bartender said as he stared at the group

The older man glared at him and placed his hand over one of his swords, the bartender hid behind the counter.

"Qrow Branwen" The man said as he looked at the two people in front of him

"You know him?" Najenda asked with a relaxed expression

Qrow groaned "huh he's one of those Atlas specialist…Auturn?"

"Saturn" The man corrected him

"That's what I said " Qrow replied as he chuckled

"What are you doing here Qrow?" Saturn asked

"Working" Qrow replied dryly

"With Salem" Saturn stated

Silence filled the room as the air grew heavier. Azure, Regalia and Gray prepared themselves for the upcoming fight. But then Najenda began to laugh with all her heart content

"I'm sorry but I couldn't help it. Who are you?" She asked

"That's none of your business" Azure replied

"They are, since you are getting hostile with one of my soldiers" Najenda said as she took another sip of her drink "So I am gonna ask you again, Who are you?"

This time Gray's eyes widened in horror as he detected an indescribable amount of killing intent coming from the woman that was in front of him

Saturn tensed up "You first"

Najenda smiled "I am a proud general of The New Empire, here to defeat the evil and save the citizens of the Remnant"

Team STAR was dumbstruck

"I need to take a picture of their faces" Qrow said as he took a picture with his scroll

"Do you think I broke them?" Najenda asked with a smirk

"I hope so" Qrow replied and laughed again

Azure was the first one to returned to his senses "Y-You mean that New Empire? The people that saved Beacon from Salem's attack?"

"Yep" The general replied

Regalia had stars in her eyes "Is my sister with you?!" she asked

"Ehmm… You should be?" Najenda asked as she raised an eyebrow

"Oh right, where are my manners! I am Regalia Nikos, Pyrrha Nikos is my sister!" Regalia explained

"Oh. Well, yes, Pyrrha is with us" Najenda said with a calm tone

Regalia smiled and thought about how much she wanted to hug her sister again

"I think I should apologize to you" Saturn said as he bowed

"apologies accepted" Najenda said as she made herself more comfortable

Gray was shocked on how fast the killing intent disappeared

'scary' he thought as he relaxed a bit

"We are the Mistral Secret Force, our job is to protect the civilians and take care of the criminals from the shadows" Saturn said

Najenda smiled "Take a seat we have a lot to discuss"
