Of Midnight Snacks and Moonlight Howls
(Ciel POV)
"What?! No way!" I told him.
"Yes way." replied my big brother.
"How is Genji better than ninety percent of the Overwatch members?! Both old and new?!"
"Cause he can easily dispatch them all. The only sort of two exceptions really are Symmetra and Zarya since their main attacks are beam attacks, which he can't deflect. I only say sort of because at a distance, he can easily handle everyone, even Widowmaker. Plus Genji's a cool dude to hang out and spar with."
"You only say that because he's a cyborg ninja."
"That and he's just awesome overall."
"Really? That's what you're going with?"
"Yup."
So disappointed… My older brother could make any decent argument out of anything. He could literally just pull something out of his butt in just a second and use it against you, and that can easily be taken out of context.
Sorry not sorry.
Point is, when he tries, arguing with him is impossible. Unless you're Foxy. He doesn't argue with her period. How does she do that?!
But when he makes arguements like "Because I said so", you can't help but feel like "What the heck bro?! That's it?!". Which is how I feel like at the moment.
Man… He gets to go to all the cool places without us… Apparently he went to this World where there were this band of Heroes called Overwatch. Filled with all sorts of men, and women, who could totally kick ass. I was just asking about who's probably the best out of all of them. And of course, he goes with the cyborg ninja. Probably because my brother was sort of a ninja back then. I say sort of because in his younger days, he basically was.
"So besides Metal Gear Ninja, who else did you think was awesome?" I asked him.
"Zenyatta. That guy was just as awesome as Genji. And Reinhardt, he was just a blast overall."
Okay, points for Reinhardt and Zenyatta. Respectable dudes to hang out with. I only know because big brother told us a few times of that World and how interesting it was.
"Well Leo, what about you? Who are your favorites from big brothers stories?"
"In all honesty, I would believe Strike Commander Morrison, Mr. Winston and Mr. McCree would have been interesting people to get to know."
"That's Soldier 76 to you..! Um...soldier!" said my older brother.
He can be funny at times. Right now? Not even.
"Right, of course." Leo said.
"What about you Foxy? Since you got to go with him, who did you like out of them?"
"Me? O-Oh… I would have to say Dr. Ziegler was nice to discus with and 'hang out' with. She also taught me how to better treat injured persons without usage of my Cleansing Flame, just in case. Now I'm able to perform numerous types of surgeries and procedures thanks to her tutelage."
Of course Mercy. Saw that one a mile away.
That reminds me, aren't Mercy and Genji a thing?
Oh. Oh!
Hehehehehe… Now I've got some more material to work with…
"What about you Ciel? Who would've you liked to meet?" asked my older brother.
"Hmmmm… I'd like to chill with and Zarya. Oh, maybe Bastion too. He seems like the kind of guy you'd like to laze around with all day."
"Bastion was interesting in his own way…" big brother said as he shrugged his shoulders.
"Okay...so what about the worst World you've been to?" I asked him.
"I wouldn't say the worst, but I would say annoying more than anything. The lands of Lordran, Drangleic, and Lothric. God, those places were full to the brim with all sorts of nasties…"
"Don't forget about Yharnam, Master."
"Oh yeah… That place… Remember those stupid Brain Suckers?"
I looked to Foxy and saw her shiver a bit. But more importantly…
"Woah woah woah! Brain Suckers?! Are you serious?!" I asked enthusiastically.
"Those were the worst things I've ever come across of all time. Plus they're just downright nasty…"
"Agreed… I wish to never see those horrid creatures ever again…" Inuba said.
Wow. They really don't like those things…
"What makes them so bad? Or nasty?"
"They're these gangly looking things with no eyes in their head, and they have this tendril stuck at the top of their head that they use to suck out your brain once we get a hold of you. Thankfully, that didn't happen to us at all. But that didn't stop them from trying."
There's a lot of things my brother and Inuba have faced down together over the years they've known each other. Plenty of nasties, icky creatures, and hey, even the occasional Hellfire Romba with the Dark Entities they came across. But they always managed to come up on top.
His last battle? Not so much a win. His trial? Complete bullshit. Those flying monkeys up top do whatever the heck they want, and in the meantime, my brother's trying to not only save those turkeys from getting cooked, but was trying to do the right thing, which they completely failed to do. How is it fair that he's the one to get punished when was doing their job? It's just nonsense on another level.
You know how people say, "Oh, Angels! So bright! So pure! So holy and good!" Yeah, that's nonsense. I'll admit, not all of them are complete bastards, but the vast majority are. They're supposed to be people's shepherds and guides. Not their murderers and agenda pushing schemers.
Honestly, I'd trust a Dark Entity more than an Angel now. You know how you grow up thinking, "Oh, so and so is totally awesome and cool! They're just awesome and totally not evil!" Great, got that in mind? Now, imagine you just found they're not as cool and good you thought they were, that they're just pompous jerks that are selfish and greedy. Complete reality check, yeah?
"Oh. Would you look at that…"
I just shrugged off whatever I was thinking about and tuned in to what my big brother said, looking around to see what caught his fancy.
"What?! What is it?!"
A let out a loud gasp as we entered a small town. I could not believe one of them was out here…
A Panda Tree Diner!
"Bro! Let's stop there and get something to eat!"
"We haven't stopped in six hours now, so it might be a good chance for us to stretch our legs." Leo added.
"Alright alright, hold your horses…"
I watched big brother turn on the signal lights and start turning in towards the rundown parking lot outside of the diner. As quick as he turned, he just slipped right in to one of the parking spaces.
Heh, doesn't he know barely anyone drives cars these days? Like almost no one. Not even cops. He doesn't have to follow any road rules because there are barely any! But he insists.
You're probably thinking by now my big brother's a total goody-two-shoes and a stickler for rules, right? Wrong! He follows rules when he can and when he should. But trust me, if feels like it, the rulebook is just out the window! Or burned to ashes, whichever one he prefers.
"Alright! Food time!" I shouted. "What do you guys think you'll get?"
"Very likely the same thing you will." Leo replied.
"Same." said my big brother.
"As will I." said Foxy.
"Aw come on! Have some individuality!" I shouted.
"We have individuality. We just don't eat as often at fast food restaurants or restaurants in general like you do. So we rely on you to get us the best meal in that case." my big brother said.
If he puts it that way…
"Alright! So then, our meal for tonight will be orange chicken! Honey walnut shrimp! Steamed rice! Annnnnnnnnnnnd…fortune cookies!"
Fortune cookies are the best. But those little fortunes inside? I hate those. I can't eat the whole cookie in one go without having to crack it open and taking out those little fortunes. I mean, I can do that, it won't hurt me or anything, but I'd rather not do it. Eating paper sucks.
"Sounds good. We'll wait for you over there." said my big brother pointing to one of the seats.
"Okay then. Be there in just a minute."
The line was really short, so it'd be like two minutes. In fact, was already about to talk to the guy taking my order.
"Hiya. So, I'll have four portions of steamed rice, orange chicken and honey walnut shrimp. Oh, and make sure we get some fortune cookies to go in with all that."
"Anything else for you miss?"
"Ummmm… Oh, and four jumbo sized drinks. Raspberry ice tea please."
"Okay. Will that be all?"
"Yup."
"Alrighty, your order comes out to twenty lien."
"Cool cool."
I whipped out my black and white wallet and pulled out one lien card and set it down in front of the order taker person, who took it and out it in the register.
"We'll have your order ready in just a minute."
And so the wait began until the most epic of epic meals would come my way, the coolest and most powerful Huntress in history using patience as her key weapon in this Hunt…
"Man, people need to stop going out towards the fields at night…"
"Why?"
"Cause people keep disappearing, that's why."
"What, you thinking it's a Grimm?"
"It could be…"
"Dude, no normal Grimm is going to come within a radius of this place with all the Huntsmen and Huntresses we have passing through here every day. Relax."
Now this could be interesting…
"Yo, you two. You think there's a Grimm out there snagging peeps that walk by?" I asked the two guys at the extra toppings bar.
"He does. I don't." said the skeptic of the two as he finished getting what he needed and walked off.
"Lay it on me." I said.
"Well, people have been disappearing lately. A lot more than the usual."
"The usual?"
"Yeah. See, some people just up and leave at times. Mostly just to go to Vale or elsewhere. But that road leading out to Vale… We have guys patrolling the area at night. Sometimes farther than we should be reaching out during that time. We've found five bodies within the two days. All ripped to shreds."
Almost obviously a Grimm… But it could be anything else. You never know.
"So why the skepticism with your buddy?"
"Well, we've been getting report from other local villages where they found that bandits have been tearing up bodies, possibly get people panicked when they walk by so they can incite hysteria amongst the people."
"Right right… Negativity and all that…"
"Right. But...the way those bodies were torn up… I don't think it was bandits… And...it might or might not be a Grimm…"
"What makes you say that?"
"Well… Some of the wounds we saw… They were too clean. Too precise. It's like a razor wire tore through them…"
Razor wire..? Nah… Not a Lasher. There's no bodies of water around here except near the Kitsukami estate. And that was six hours behind us. Maybe it's something else we haven't seen…
"Cool. We'll look into it later."
"W-We? Are you a Huntress?"
"Nope. But totally tooting my own horn here, I think we're better than veteran Huntsmen and Huntresses."
"But-"
"Relax. We got this."
I saw the order man bring me a tray of all four orders and grabbed, taking it towards my brothers and our Foxy friend.
"Nice… I could smell that a mile away." my big brother said as I set the tray down.
They each took their boxes and began digging in with the chopsticks that came with our meal. Looks as though they liked it. Well, almost all of them. Foxy and Leo seemed to be liking it. But when I looked to my brother Dante… Well… He kinda looked a bit lost. Like he was looking for something.
"So, we might have a bit of a problem."
"Problem?"
"Yeah, towards the nighttime time. Some dudes were talking about people disappearing on the road to Vale."
"And?"
"And...the main consensus is that it's bandits trying to scare people."
"Look at you using big words."
"Shut up." I said reaching over the table and bopping my older brother on the forehead.
"Here's the deal. One guy is going out on a limb and thinks it's a Grimm. Well, maybe something else besides a Grimm or bandit."
"And this is along the way to Vale."
"Yup. I'm thinking we take a stop near the hot zone when it gets dark out and we take a look around. We take care of the nasty that's hiding there, and poof, we're back on the yellow brick road to Beacon."
"Sounds reasonable. We'll leave in about an hour. It'll get darker then, and we'll have had time to take a look around the place before we head out."
"Sweet."
Whatever this thing was going to be, it doesn't change the fact it's gonna get cooked by us. Not like literally cooked, unless you're Foxy, but as in deaded with extreme prejudice. Catch my drift? Good, hopefully you can keep up.
The last of my summoned Aura Swords pierced through the flesh of the final pack members of the group of Beowolves. Thanks to Ciel, we were able to park the car, but also put it into a pocket dimension so it wouldn't get damaged.
"Aw come on, you took them all for yourself!" said Ciel.
"Don't worry. If those guys you talked to were right, whatever is behind the disappearances is going to be a team effort. See? Problem solved." I said.
"Yeah yeah…"
I looked up to see daylight had finally drawn its last breath for the day as it now slumbered, night taking its place as darkness swept over the land. The road was barely visible anymore, let alone the forestry on both sides of the road.
Let's fix that.
I closed my eyes and reopened them as the world became a sort of greyscale from my view. The only exception was that all corners and edges in the world now glowed white, making it even easier to see things around me.
"Master?"
I felt Inuba tugging on the sleeve of my light grey jacket hoodie, forcing me to look to my right. She stood a head shorter than I did, so I had to look down. It was in the reflection of her shining crimson eyes that I saw my own eyes. Black sclerae and glowing white irises. My Shadow Eyes. At the time, I was more concerned with own eyes, but admittingly, I couldn't help but stare deep within her own eyes, like I was searching for something.
"M-Master..?"
And yet again I was staring too long. I quickly turned my head forwards.
"Yes?"
"The wind has been picking up. Comparing that to the weather reports, there shouldn't be any wind tonight. That and...I can hear steps approaching us…"
Wind…
Wind!
Our heads turned towards an incoming blast of wind as we both leapt far to the right to avoid the burst. Ciel and Leo joined us on our part of the road as all four of us took a good look as to what almost hit us.
Normally, at a first glance you'd think it's just a simple wolf. Not a Beowolf kind of wolf. Just a normal wolf with black fur. Wrong.
This "wolf" was as large as five of my cars stacked upon each other. It's back was covered with numerous, white bone spikes and it's belly and head plated with the same bone like substance and red markings that gave the Grimm their distinguishable features. It paws were equally plated in bone and claws sharp like jagged razors. The back of its hind legs also had some of this bone like armor, only the back of the hind legs had some sorts of large protrusions that looked like curved blades.
Now I remember what this thing was. A Dykoa. And if I recall, this thing uses…
It loud out a loud howl under the moonlight as wind rushed around it and pushed outwards towards us.
Wind. The only five things that could make clean cuts like that, magic wise, are fire, high pressure water, lightning, wind, Light and Dark. But for more logical reasons, I narrowed it down to water and wind. Damn. So close.
"So what's the plan here?" asked Ciel.
"Leo, keep circling this thing and fire off shots at it. Make sure you shoot enough shots to set up just in case."
"Understood."
"Ciel?"
"Yeah yeah, in and out. Got it."
"Inuba, you and I are going to put the pressure on this guy. Ready?"
I saw her summon her pure white katana with black trimming and unsheath it with a small burst of white flame as she lowered her weapon to her side.
"Ready."
Dante and Inuba were the first two to move forward towards the Dykoa, slashing from the right and left sides as they moved past the giant wolf. Their strikes only hit the shield of wind it focused to its legs to prevent itself from injury. However, it's focus was entirely on them, unaware of the rapidly approaching Ciel who had left a large upward cut across the creature's face as she flew by it.
Large beams of white and black Aura soon flew towards the creature, who had raised a dome of wind around itself to defend. The special bullets hidden within the beams did not make it all the way to wolf, but the Aura beams slipped right through and made impact with the Grimm's body, leaving two large burning holes in its armored side as it leapt back and away from Leo and the others.
As it skidded to a halt on the road, the Dykoa leaped backwards into the air and let out a large roar, unleashing a massive gust of spherical wind that headed towards the duo. Inuba quickly raised up her sword with both hands and slashed towards the incoming wind sphere, unleashing an arcing wave of white flame that crashed into the sphere, fire and wind quickly canceling the other with a strong shockwave.
The wolf landed in the ground and began rapidly sprinting in a circle around Dante and Inuba. It was about ready to pounce for Dante, but Ciel had appeared immediately in front of the creature and knocked its legs out from under it midair, causing it to hit ground hard with its back. Dante and Inuba had leapt up above it and moved to stab the Grimm in its belly, their blades nearly metting their mark until it used an outwards spanning dome of wind to push them back.
Leo appeared above in the air in a streak of white and black Aura, twirling his handcannons around his index fingers three times before rapidly firing off twenty four shots from his guns. Streams of black and white Aura rained down from above the wolf as it darted and weaved between the shots, only to be dive kicked in the face by Dante as Inuba quickly flipped her katana backhand style and slashed at its hind leg. Her blade was blocked momentarily by the bone protrusion, but with a quick burst of her white flame that now coated her katana, Inuba let out a loud yell and left a deep slash on its leg.
Using its tail, the Dykoa whipped it at Inuba to push her back a considerable distance and opened its maw wide to take a bit at Dante. The young immortal raised up his sword as the creature bit down on his weapon, shaking its head about violently to try and disarm the teen of his weapon Dante kept his grip on his Longsword, using his left hand to repeatedly bash the wolf in its face until finally he landed a punch to its eye, making it roar loudly in pain as it leapt back. The Dykoa then opened up its mouth and began rapid firing numerous wind spehere at Dante. He blocked the sphere, but it was enough to blast him off of his feet and away from the creature.
It spun around and tired to take a bite at Ciel, but when it did so, she had already vanished. Inuba stood a few feet away from where the Dykoa landed and waited, raising her katana up defensively. The Dykoa leapt backwards then dashed forwards at lighting fast speed towards the kitsune with the wind at its back, maw wide open to devour her.
As soon as it bit, Inuba had turned into white flame. Before the Dykoa realized this was not the real Inuba, it had been too late. The white flames grew and expanded until they became an explosive burst that consumed the whole Grimm in a brilliant explosion of white fire that reached high into the night sky.
The Dykoa tumbled out of the column of fire, staggering upwards only to be brought down again after Ciel dashed by with her skeletal like scythe and slashed out its front right leg, while Inuba dashed by and took out the front left. Four beams of white and black Aura shot into its back legs, rendering it completely immobile.
But it was not entirely defenseless.
It unleashed another dome of wind to push away the trio, the Dykoa struggling to stand back up. It soon heard Dante's loud roar, weakly looking above to only see the point of the immortals Longsword only centimeters away from its forehead as it opened its mouth to attempt to unleash another blast of wind. But it was too late. The young immortals Longsword had pierced its skull directly, entering deeply from its forehead. It's mouth twitched slightly as it let out a low growl, then collapsed onto the floor.
I took my Longsword out of the Dykoa's forehead and took a step back before stepping in close to the side of its head. With a quick motion, I raised up my Longsword and cleaved off the Grimm's, lashing my sword to my side to clean off the black blood completely.
Most would think of my actions as un-needed aggression towards the Grimm. I say it's just being cautious. I did see a Huntsmen one time getting nabbed right after he thought he killed an Ursa. The thing just sprang back up and took his head. Afterwards, I took the Ursa's head.
"Glad that's over with…" I said with a sigh.
"Oh yeah! We kicked that things butt!" said Ciel as she slapped Leo's back, making him stagger forwards a bit.
"You alright?" I asked turning to Inuba
"I'm fine, Master. No injuries for me… Heh heh…"
"You almost seem depresssed about it."
"W-What?! No..! I, um…"
All I heard was "special procedure" from Ciel until Leo covered her mouth with his hand. Whatever was going on, Inuba seemed to be in on the joke since she was blushing furiously and holding the sides of her head with both hands.
I heard the corpse behind me shift suddenly, looking past Inuba to see the Dykoa's body bulge and turn into wind that blasted outwards towards us. It was harmless, but fairly strong. Unfortunately for Inuba, I caught a glance of something else as the strong wind rushed by and...well...forced up her skirt…
Again, staring too long.
She glanced at me as soon as I quickly turned my head away from her, not realizing her situation until she saw how red my face was. From the corner of my eye, I saw that her face soon became red as she quickly grabbed the front and back hem of her skirt and kept them down as the wind rushed by and slowly died down, her fox ears folding against her head in embarrassment. It was clear that she knew that I saw. Not that I was trying to do so or anything. It just...happened.
She didn't need to ask if I saw or not. A, she knew I saw and didn't need to ask. And B, if she did ask, I would deny it.
"C-Ciel, can you bring the car back now?"
"Yep! Presto, changeo!" she said pushing her hands forward.
Nothing happened. For a second, I did expect something to happen. But nope. Nothing.
"Just kidding with ya."
All it took was for her to snap her fingers as a portal of black and white Aura opened up on the road and traveled backwards, releasing our car from the pocket dimension Ciel placed it in.
"People traveling along these roads can rest easy now that the Dykoa has been dealt with." Leo mentioned as he opened the left back door and sat in the backseat.
"Yeah, but that doesn't mean they won't run into Grimm every now and then. They still need to be careful and not be dumb."
True enough. But still…a Dykoa? What's a Dremoha Class Grimm doing all the way out here? Near a populated area too…
Dremoha's are the tiers above Alpha Grimm. Then, you have Omega Class Grimm, the most powerful types of Grimm to ever exist. Many times the largest too. Although an Omega hasn't been seen for at least a century or so from what records detail. The important factor here is that usually Dremoha and Omegas lie dormant most of the time unless disturbed. Although Dremoha are more active, they usually stay away from populated areas unless they insticvely know a human controlled territory is weak. Then they'll attack, regardless of a build up of negativity. That town was a sort of hotspot for Huntsmen and Huntresses to pass through. But this time around, there were only about four of them in town. The Dykoa was acting confident…
It's confidence would be justified. If it attacked that town behind us, it would have destroyed the entire place and would have killed the majority of people there. And it would have walked away with little to no injuries.
Too bad for it…
"Hellooooooooo! It's like 3 am and we still have like four hours to go! Hurry up big brother! Or I'm stealing your ride and skedaddling!"
"Not a chance Ciel."
"Is something troubling you, Master?"
"Not necessarily… Just thinking it's a bit strange that a Dykoa is all the way out here. Other than that, nothing else is on my mind really."
Except that what happened a minute or so is still fresh in my mind. My damn photographic memory will never let me forget now…
"Master?"
"We, uh, should get going. The opening ceremony is at 8am, but I'd like to get there by seven just in case."
"Of course."
I opened the door for Inuba on the passenger side as she thanked me with a bow before sitting down and closing the door herself. After a quick walk to the other side, I got into the driver's seat and pressed the ignition button as the car quietly started.
"Seatbelt?" I said turning to see if everyone had their belts on.
"Yes."
"Yup."
"Already done."
Good. We didn't need seat belts technically, but it's good to practice safety. You never know.
With that, I shifted the gears into S and began driving down the old road once again after I turned on the headlights, which shined a clear white light down the night road.
"You know, you never said what model car this was. They don't really sell cars in Remnant. If anything, they're a rarity."
"This car came from Primordial, my world. It's the Cadillac Ciel 2017 model with a few of my friend Ross' modifications to the car."
"Wait wait wait! Cadillac Ciel?! Are you freaking serious?! It has my name?!"
"Yep."
"I totally have rights to drive this car now! Not like now now, but in the future! When I get my license! Or when I take it out without you looking!"
"Do that and I will never buy you chocolate covered strawberries or strawberry PopTarts ever again!"
"Le gasp! You fiend!"
"I should be calling you that if you were planning to go out in the car without my permission. Or a license. Relax, I'll start giving you driving lessons after initiation. And after that, you can go test for a license. Deal?"
"Seal!"
"I'm being serious."
"So am I!"
"Ciel-"
"Relax, I got it already."
"Good."
I saw Ciel eye the the holographic console and gasp as she reached forward and slid her finger up on the dispatch to turn up the volume. Nothing was playing.
"What are you-?"
I looked to the console and saw the song that was supposed to be playing and recognized it. Totally forgot this song has a slow startup.
(Lay Your Hands on Me - Boom Boom Satellites)
I looked in the rear view mirror and saw Ciel bring up her hands before dropping them back down in tune with the song, constantly moving them up and down as if she were playing an electric keyboard until she began singing the lyrics of the song.
"Lay your hands on me, while I'm bleeding dry
Break on through blue skies, I'll take you higher!"
I couldn't resist. It was too good for me not to sing to along with her.
"Caught up in circles
All dreams and bright lights!"
Unexpectedly, Leo joined in as well soon after I did.
"Wait I'm here always, brighter than sunshine!"
Inuba was the last of our group to jump in along the three of us.
"I fly
Fly out
Fly out to your heart
Fly out
Fly out!
Lay your hands on me
Stay close by my side
Drive me so crazy
Moonlight and star shine!"
Then the song dropped into high pitched warble that slowly built up to be louder and louder alongside a keyboard tune, all the way until the original tune of the song resumed without lyrics for a few moments.
"Faded into the setting sun
I'll see you again, I'll carry on
Feeling like I'm floating leaves in the fleeting sky
you can sing that song
Let it go!
Move on!
Let's go way out!
Spaced out!
Spaced out!
Lay your hands on me stay close to my eyes
Drive me so crazy wake up in your arms!"
We all threw our hands up in the air after the final lyric. Everyone kept their hands up for a few seconds, except for me, since I only had them up for a second since I was driving, and brought them down as the final segment of the tune slowly faded out.
"Man… Been a while since I heard that song on the radio." I said.
It was a good song. And I liked it a lot.
"Totally! Luckily I bought it and downloaded it!"
"Then why use the radio?" I asked.
"I forgot."
Of course…
I looked towards the distance and saw the sun beginning to rise, checking to see it was six in the morning. Which meant Vale was less than an hour away. In fact, from where we were, oh so slowly the city of Vale crept into my sight.
"Woah… Man, I never get tired of seeing Vale from the distance!" said Ciel leaning forward a bit more.
"It is a rather impressive city. Though compared to Vale, I do believe Beacon Academy will be a far more attractive sight." said Leo.
"Have you ever seen this Beacon Academy, Master?"
"Of all the times I've been to Vale, never. I've heard of it whenever passing people on the streets. Other than that, no real knowledge of the place whatsoever." I replied.
The city of Vale was in our full view now despite us being so far away. The sun had awoken just a bit more and began shining its light on the city as we drove down the road, surrounded by lush, green grass, and very tall trees that reached high up into the sky. They looked as though they have long stood where they were, as if they were silent, monolithic sentinels watching over the road in the thousands.
But they would never move. Unless they were secretly Ents, which would be slightly terrifying. I honestly wouldn't doubt it if someone told me this was the case. Who knows what kind of magic would be hiding in the outer road-forests of Vale... Who knows what kind of nonsense we'll encounter at Beacon…
Though I was hopeful. So were Inuba, Ciel and Leo. The short-run of our conversation with Ozpin was this.
"Bigger and better things. Come join us."
That was yet to be seen.
I always did like the opening of Kiznaiver. And the opening song. Which reminds me, it was a pretty good series, so watch it when you can.
But yeah, what good roadtrip goes on without some good music along the way? Trust me, in my experience, its always good to have songs to listen to that you like.
Now with the path to Beacon clear, our group of four head on to become initiated and on their way to become Huntsmen and Huntresses. Exciting, yes?
So with that...
That's pretty much it. Go check out my other story, Hero of Remnant: Veil of the Aether whenever you get the chance!
Also, I highly recommend you all go check out the freaking amazing collab Xera Stark and I are currently working on concerning his story XSRA's Flame. His story overall is absolutely fantastic and is a must read, so I suggest you read from the very start. But, if you're just interested in the awesome collab our two minds put together have created, then mozy on down to chapter 53 of his story for the start. I've said it once and will say it again, you won't want to miss out on this story, and especially this exciting story arc we've created.
Not only that, but check out his other awesome and highly entertaining story Rogue Huntsmen as I mentioned above. It's just pure awesomeness bundled into one story. And trust me, you'll love it.
