Chapter 9 – Neptune Vasilias
A few hours later, as the sun starts to set over Vale, Weiss waits near the docks. She sees a teenage boy show up. She smiles when she notices his light blue hair as he walk closer.
"Neptune!" she says eagerly.
"Hey Snow Angle, ready to catch some bad guys?" Neptune says, smiling back. Weiss then notice the people behind him come into sight and starts to have her smile fade away. Neptune continues, "And look, I brought the rest of my team, hope you do not mind. Sun just wanted to come along, then Sage and Scarlet hoped on also?"
"Yo." The monkey Faunus says while nonchalantly waving.
"I thought that it was going to be the two of us?" The heiress asks disappointed in the results.
"We wanted to have some fun also. Your team always gets the credit for the win and we want to help out." Sun reasons speaking for his whole team.
Neptune adds on, "Besides, Sage and Scarlet just got here and I wanted to show them that you are cool. You are cool with this right."
Weiss, wanting to impress Neptune, comments, "I am cool, they can help out. We will just spit up to cover more ground."
"You here that guys, everyone go around and call out if you see something." Sun tells his team. They all scatter and go in different directions, Neptune waves to Weiss and gives her a slit wink before he runs off.
Weiss then looks at the ground, even more disappointed than before, saying to herself, "I meant split up in pairs."
About a half hour later after looking around the docks. Weiss noticed no activity going on, "I do not get it. If the attacker where going to hide from the police or military, this would be the best spot." The heiress thinks as she looks over the containers. As she wonders, she hears a scream a distance away.
When Weiss looks in the direction of the scream, she see a monolith of ice has appear in the distance. She rushes to see what it was that caused this. Meeting up with Sun, Neptune, and Sage as they see the ice and who was in cases in it. It was Scarlet, with a look of horror in his blank, dead eyes.
"SCARLET!" Neptune shouts as he notices a person who is standing in front of the ice death trap. The person had incredibly long light blue hair and wore a sea captain hat with a black cross on it. He assumes she was the culprit and focused his rage on her. "What did you do to him!?"
"I assumed it was obvious. I froze him in ice. Stopping his heart and blood going to his organs, a very painful and terrifying death." The person says as she turns around to face her next victims, "I hope this was big enough to attract my team this time. Or at least, attract some stronger fighters from this world." She smiling sadistically at the four students.
"Now, who would like to try and avenge this man?" She revels her weapon of an incredibly large rapier.
Neptune then aims at the woman with the look of vengeance in his eyes. He fires a volley of shots at her, but the sadistic woman bocks all with ease. Sage rushes her with his sword and swings with all his force towards the women's head. She blocks the strike overhead effortlessly, summoning a shield of ice. She then pushes Sage's blade down at the ground and swipes toward him. Her the rapier goes across his chest and sends him back towards the others. The sadistic woman look at him in a bit befuddled at why the person was not cut in half from that attack. Sage gets up at looks at his friends.
"She is stronger than she looks." Sun comments as he pulls out his weapons.
Weiss stabs the ground her weapon, summoning a pathway jagged ice toward the sadistic woman. Sun also summons two yellow clones that run through the pathway of ice towards her the enemy.
"Interesting." The sadistic woman says, giving a slight smile of intrigue of her opponent's power. She jumps into the path of ice and destroys the two clones as she makes her way through ice to the students. She tries to stab Weiss. The heiress barley blocks the attack as Neptune turns his weapon from a gun to its trident form. He prepares for an attack but is stopped as his legs are froze in place by ice.
"Weiss what are you doing?" Neptune said trying to break free.
"That was not me." Weiss said as she struggles to continue to block the attack. The sadistic woman then looks into the eyes of Weiss, "I am intrigued with the potential of fighters in this world. To have these abilities without the use of an imperial arms is impressive, and at this age is even more impressive."
Weiss breaks free of her attack as she backs up to try to gain more ground. Neptune uses his weapon to destroy the ice around his feet. Sage then goes for a back stash on the enemy. The sadistic woman looks back to her enemy comes in but also notices that a counter attack is not needed.
From above, a man in dark blue armor dive kicks Sage in the side of his back. His body has bounced across the ground, stopping against a boat in the distance. Sage's lifeless body falls in the water and floats on the surface. The sword now falls out of his hand and sinks to the bottom of the ocean, the body slowly fallows.
"SAGE!" Sun screams before chaining his anger towards the new enemy.
"Wave, good to see you are still well and have your weapon." The sadistic woman says to the man in armor.
"Yes, General Esdeath, I am. So is Kurome." He point over to the shadows behind there enemy. The three students turn around to see a girl in black school uniform appears. She scolds at Wave, "Idiot, you ruined my sneak attack. Why do you always have to just blurt things out?"
Wave scratches the back of his head and apologizes for his actions. Sun then wields the pole form of his weapon and tries to attack Kurome. She parries the attack with her katana that Sun failed to notice her holding. She then reaches behind her back with her free hand into a bag marked "Kurome's Snacks." She pulls out a small cookie and eats it.
"For some reason, all of my puppets cannot work. So I guess I will make my own in this world." She then push back Sun and stabs him in the heart. Her blade bonuses off the body without penetrating his skin. The black eyed girl gives a look of confusion to both Wave and Esdeath.
"It appears our enemies may have some sort of force felid that protects them from major damage," Esdeath says, she looks over at where the two students died before and then looks at the alive ones, "but it seems to have its limits that prevent them from being immortal. Let us see end this quickly."
Wave nods to his leader and rushes into Neptune, tries to kick the light blue haired student in the stomach. Neptune blocks the hit with his weapon but is sent a few meters away. Wave rushes in to continue his assault. Neptune hold his weapon to swing down on his enemy. The armored Jaeger catches the head of the blade with both of his hands. Neptune then activates his weapons power and send an electrical pulse through the weapon, shocking Wave through his armor.
Sun runs to his friends to help finish off the enemy. However, Kurome follows him and rushes the blonde Faunus her katana aimed at his neck. Sun blocks the oncoming attacks from Kurome as he dismantles his pole into two nunchakus. The two clash blows as Sun takes the advantage in the fight. With one of nunchakus, he fires a shot at Kurome's shoulder. The black eyed girl screams in pain as blood pours down her arm. Sun goes for a second shot, aiming for her head. His eye's full of rage form the loss of his two comrades.
"Kurome!" Wave says as he looks to see his comrade in trouble.
Still being shocked by the weapon, the armored Jaeger picks up the weapon with Neptune and throws both at Sun. The monkey Faunus is hit by Neptune before making a second shot. The two guys skid across the hard concrete floor of the dock. Wave then walks over to Kurome.
"Are you alright?" Wave says to her looking at the injury.
"I am fine, thanks for the help." Kurome says as she sees the smoke coming from his armor. "What about you?"
"I will live, it will take a lot more electricity than that to take me out." The armored Jaeger says arrogantly as Kurome giggles at his bosting.
The black eyed girl walks over to Sun, gripping her weapon, Yatsufusa. Sun sees his weapon only a few feet away and tries to grab it. Kurome kicks his weapons before he could grab them. She stands over him and drive her sword into his chest. The weapon sparks against his aura. Until Yatsufusa runs through his heart. Sun coughs up blood as he tries to pull out the katana but his strength fades with his life. His grip weakens as the light leaves his eyes. She removes her katana as she realizes that the victim is now dead.
Kurome walks over to Neptune, who was trying to get up. Kurome walks over to Neptune and raises her weapon. The light blue haired student picks up his weapon as he looks over at Sun on the ground. "What did you do to him!?" Neptune says angrily as he swings his weapon at Kurome. The black eyed assassin parries his attacks at slashes over his body.
After a few hits, she realizes one of her attacks had drawn blood. Neptune starts to sweat as he tries another swing of his weapon. Wave runs in and grabs Neptune's weapon. Before Neptune could shock Wave like before, Kurome stabs the light blue haired student. Her katana penetrates his skin to his heart. Neptune coughs up blood, and let's go of his weapon. Once Kurome removes her weapon of inside his body, Neptune fall back on the ground.
He looks up in the eyes of his enemy, "Why are you doing this?"
Kurome smiles as she answers, "We are not from this world and there is a group that is helping out our allies adjust. Killing people who fight our General is just a bonus." She looks over to see Sun start to move and get up. She says still talking to Neptune, "If you are scared of death, do not worry, you will come back and help me out as a puppet"
"What?" Neptune says as he looks over in confusion of how Sun was getting up. "Sun?" the light blue haired student says, Sun just looks at him with a lifeless stair. Neptune looks in horror as he realizes what Kurome meant by a puppet.
