Trailer: Azure

Hikaru didn't look like your average girl, in fact she looked more like a boy. She wore a black biker jacket with jeans the same color as well as fingerless gloves. Although Hikaru had fair skin and lips like a sculptures, her hair was half shaved while the other was a long side swept bangs that was an odd shade of blue which made her look like a "pretty bad boy". Her shirt only enforced that insult because it was a shattered six pointed star that was almost the same color as her hair, it was girly but nevertheless she was still judged as a guy. She didn't mind though, it was what she like to wear and this hairstyle made her feel unique in a way.

Hikaru wanders around the streets of Vacuo, pondering about the mission tomorrow. This would be her team's first mission without an instructor and by the sound of it, seemed very important. She would continued to walk and became more concerned about tomorrow until she bumped into a gang of faunas's, half-human, half-animal people. They looked at her with disgust but would back away fast as soon as they saw her. Hikaru didn't have a gentle face that other girls would have either. For some reason it looked like she was always mad about something and other people would often mistake her for being pissed off even though it was just her face.

"Back off," one finally spoke.

"Yeah," another agreed, "or we'll beat your-"

"Guys we don't have time for this," someone else interrupted, "The boss will have our heads if we're late again."

The pair who almost started a fight were stunned but agreed.

"Your lucky punk," the first one said, pointing at Hikaru bitterly.

"Now let's hurry up," said the one who stopped them, "We can't wait here any longer."

The gang all ran off in a hurry and into a nearby ally, leaving Hikaru astonished that they would leave as fast as they came. While they left, one of them drops a flyer with three red diagonal scratches and a ferocious wolf over them. The logo of the White Fang, the once peaceful political organization that stood for Faunas rights now bent on earning respect for faunas's by any means necessary. The flyer stated that there was a shipment at ten o'clock in the junkyard. There hasn't been any White Fang activity around here in months so why would they start now? Hikaru choose to investigate the event however she couldn't decided the reason why she went. It was either the right thing to do or something to get her mind off from tomorrow.

The address eventually led Hikaru to a worn down warehouse in the back of the yard, maybe the oldest one there. If someone were to look at this building, they would have thought that anything in there was unsalvageable. All the windows were either cracked or broken and covered with dust that made it impossible to see through. A garage door was torn open and the rest were completely demolished. It's white paint was now faded and peeled that made it look older that it already was. Various graffiti layered over the paint, varying from gang signs to hate messages and even graffiti art. But the one that mattered was the logo of the White Fang on the only intact door.

Two guards stood in front, both holding pistols that could transform into swords. Hikaru chucked a rock to the trash can near to the pair that distracted them to check out that area. This gave her the opportunity to sneak in through the garage door since it was open and looked like no one was on the other side. When inside, Hikaru took cover behind one of the boxes and saw White Fang members swarming the building, each doing various types of work. Some were organizing weapons in the crates while others stood watch on the second floor but they all had the same weapon with them like the ones outside. They all wore the same thing attire, black pants with a black hooded shirt, an armored chest piece, and grey masks that resembled a Grimm. To symbolized that they were together, the White Fang logo was branded on their backs.

In the back was a stage with the boss standing in the middle with a mic. He held what looked like a gigantic buzzsaw that was covered with red stains, maybe blood but Hikaru hoped that it was just ketchup. The boss wore a different mask than the others, it had more fangs and markings that the grunts didn't have. He was more bulkier than them as well with a long black cape that covered his chest and had the White Fang logo on his back like the others. There were also scars that ran down his both of his arms, as if he was tortured at one point in his life. Even with his hood over his head, his pointy ears stuck out, revealing dog like ears.

"Hurry up you worthless bags of flesh," He barked, "We have to deliver these weapons to the other hideouts tonight!"

"Yes sir!" They all respond in respect or fear.

Whatever they were doing will become a problem for everyone in Vacuo later down the road, so Hikaru decided to call the police to handle it. She just came here to check out what they were scheming and didn't have time to deal with them herself. When she was about to dial the number, the box behind her suddenly moved and she found a White Fang looking at her surprised. Hikaru was equally shocked as they shared a moment of silence.

"Hey bo-!" He shouted until Hikaru dropkicked him to the ground.

Hikaru sighs and sees the boss stare at her with his eyes a blaze.

"Intruder!" The boss yelled as he swung his buzzsaw, "Get him!"

Again she was called a boy. Although Hikaru didn't care because it was a common thing for her but she did make a mental note of it. While the White Fang members closed in on her, Hikaru took out her disassembled weapon out from her sleeves. It was originally in three part pole with a blade attached to one of them but it easily came together as her black handled naginata, Oumagatoki.

Hikaru steadied her weapon towards the first enemy that charged at her. He attacked her with his sword but was deflected and countered by Hikaru striking upward at his chest. The next enemy was a bit more skilled than the first and was able to stand against her for a bit but was still defeated. One after another, they each fell and hopefully not dead in Hikaru's perspective but the look in her eyes, the stare that was engraved in her face said otherwise. Her face just encouraged them to attack her more because it made them all think that "if you don't get me, I'll get you".

Some of grunts learned from the others mistakes and decided to team up against her. Each one was on different sides, surrounding her and backing her up against a wall of crates. On the second floor, more White Fang members were taking aim at her but couldn't get a proper shot because of their comrades constantly moved in the way. Although Hikaru was trapped, she found a way to defeat them by swinging her Oumagatoki to create some space and with the blunt end, smacked one of them in the face. That one soon fell onto another that gave Hikaru an opportunity to slash them all horizontally across the chest. But after handling the group, more just charged at her.

While fighting, Hikaru noticed that they weren't the most experienced of fighters. Those with swords were striking randomly and blocked on pure luck but still had their defences broken. It didn't seem like any of them were properly trained for battle. The ones with the guns were mostly on the balcony and had unsteady handling, struggling to point and shoot. The grunts were all so weak that couldn't take a hit and were defeated quite easily. It seemed like it was their first time in an actual fight.

It was then she noticed that someone shot a bullet at her but missed and actually hit someone else. The one shot rolled on the ground in pain and clamped the wound, crying and saying that he was about to die even though it was just a graze across his leg. He cried and moaned until Hikaru got annoyed and decided to soccer kicking him in the face, breaking his mask and putting him down for the count.

"Oh my god!" One of them yelled from the balcony, "He got Steve!"

The room was oddly quiet for a bit with most of the White Fang members in shock and awe.

"For Steve!" Another replied taking aim and still shot another White Fang member.

Hikaru chuckled a little but it was almost more of a crackling sound that brought shivers to the ones who heard it. She had to concentrate even more because most of them were starting to chant "for Steve" and attack her relentlessly. The White Fang on the second floor were finally firing, raining bullets from above that were either missing their target or embedding itself into another White Fang lackey. When a bullet got to close for Hikaru to dodge, she blocked it by twirling her Oumagatoki.

This was getting ridiculous, their aim was painfully bad (especially to those getting shot) so Hikaru decided to collapses her naginata, revealing its gun form. Her gun was a pure black assault rifle with a scope to match and just for the moment, was loaded with rubber bullets that won't kill but will still hurt like hell. She pointed her gun at the closest target and shot them down, causing them to fall across the railing. Hikaru aimed for the next as she climbed the crates to the second floor, still taking out grunts along the way. She rolled across the balcony to avoid the bullets and retaliated with her own, aiming for their unarmored areas. Hikaru also fired at the ones on the ground and the other side, taking more of them out.

When Hikaru was done clearing the balcony of White Fang, she looked below and saw a crowd of White Fang members huddled together, all ready to spill her blood. She then jumps off the railing and into the hoard of bullets and blades. Hikaru wouldn't allow them to have the satisfaction of killing her and while in midair, expanded her weapon back into a naginata. She brushed her hand over the bladed end and activated her semblance which coated it with a light-blue aura and that made a slight buzzing noise. Before Hikaru landed, she swings her Oumagatoki over her head and smashes the ground with her blade in the middle of the group. The smash caused a ripple effect in the ground that made it look like it were water and the goons that were around her was blown away by the force, launching them everywhere across the building. A large crevice with a spider-web pattern replaced the group of White Fang and Hikaru stood in the center of it.

Hikaru grew a wide smile on her face for she was proud that she was able to defeat most of them. What Hikaru didn't know, was that her grin was abnormal because her eyes remained the same even with the smile. Her eyes still looked like it was full of malicious intent while her smile just increased that misunderstanding. The grunts that was still able to fight and saw the smile ran straight out of the warehouse.

"He's going to kill us!" They would scream and dart for the door.

"Forget Steve, I have a family!" A White Fang member yelled has he jumped out the window.

The warehouse was now cleared of White Fang members except for the boss. The boss on the still on the stage but something was wrong. He was standing in the same area as he was before, as if he was unfazed by the battle that took place. The atmosphere around him was different as well, it seemed more depressing and full of anguish.

"Those cowards...h-he would have stayed unlike them," He whispered and paused for a moment to look at the one she kicked, "H-he was the best of us...for Steve!"

The leader roared with his buzzsaw raised in the air and jumped towards Hikaru. He landed in front of her and tried to slice her apart but she backed away, dodging the strike. Hikaru was lucky that she reacted so quickly because his weapon hit the floor and made a clean cut through it. The boss wasn't done with his attack as he leaves his weapon to tackle Hikaru onto the floor and was on top of her. His weight was more than Hikaru could handle as she had the wind knocked out of her. When she did, all she could smell was the revolting odor that spewed from the faunas's mouth. Hikaru could see directly into his eyes, they were bloodshot red and burned with hate that was similar to the daunting gaze of a Grimm. He rings his fingers around her neck, his claws dug into her skin and caused droplets of blood to fall.

Hikaru still had her Oumagatoki in her hand and was able to get him off of her by piercing him in the chest. The moment he felt the weapon, he lept backwards and off of Hikaru but was near his buzzsaw. Hikaru's Oumagatoki didn't do much damage to him because he wore armor hidden under his cape. They stood on opposite sides of the warehouse, both with a weapon in hand and prepared for what was to come.

The boss growls and runs towards Hikaru as she raises her weapon defensively, ready to counter his strike with her Oumagatoki. When he struck overhead, Hikaru stepped to the side and used Oumagatoki to parried the buzzsaw. She slashes at him, knocking him back a little but not enough to make him fall. Hikaru tries to pierce him again but with no avail as he deflected the blow and countered it. She would duck under the attack but was kicked aside into the crates. The next thing Hikaru saw was the faunus charging at her, buzzsaw first. She didn't have any room to move out of the way and she couldn't possibly block an attack with that much force. So in a quick second move, Hikaru used her semblance again to coat the Oumagatoki but this time used it on the handle. When the boss made contact with the naginata, he tries to saw through it but was in vain. He didn't let up as he continued to saw through the weapon.

She doesn't know how long her semblance would last against a weapon of this caliber. Hikaru's ability was to coat an object to increase its offensive and defensive properties but she was losing aura fast. Hikaru had to think quickly because when her aura runs out, she'll be ripped in half painfully. The buzzsaw was inching closer towards her as sweat runs down her forehead. Her mouth dried up from the constant adrenaline flowing within her as she yells at the boss and does one final assault.

Hikaru then folded her naginata into an assault rifle once more and was able to shoot the boss in the leg. The boss backed away in pain, dropping his weapon and covering his injured leg. Hikaru's semblance didn't only coat her Oumagatoki but also her ammunition. Rubber bullets would have never been able to make a dent in his armor but now it could break through it, leaving him either severely bruised or with a few broken bones. Hikaru looked over that factor and shot him continuously. She shot him in the kneecap, the shoulder, the chest, and anything else that was open. When she ran out of ammo, Hikaru reloaded and continued the onslaught, making sure he doesn't get a chance to retaliate.

After her last clip, she changed her rifle back into a naginata and utilizing her semblance, Hikaru unleashed a flurry of slashes that demolished him completely and then knocked him into the air. As he fell, Hikaru would smack him right back up again to juggle him for a while. In the final strike, Hikaru concentrated all of the coating onto Oumagatoki's sharp end and sent a vertical shockwave up towards the ceiling, sending the boss right through it. When the boss crashed down, he landed in a contorted position that undoubtedly broke most of his bones. He roared in pain and cursed at Hikaru until she stared at him, hoping he would shut up. Her menacing look worked as it engraves itself into his mind, leaving a trembling impression to him.

"Bast...stupid...boy," Were the last words he utter underneath his breath.

Hikaru creeps towards the broken faunus as a cold sweat rolls down his skin.

"I'm a girl," She corrects him and stomps on his face, knocking him out cold.
