(Start)
The Screen showed Remnants moon as it slowly lowers to Vale as the street was buzzing with people as a new memorial was built as it seems people were trying to find semblance of their normal lives.
Story's tales of ancient times that have long passed, some tell of heroes battling monsters of another world, others tell of maidens and knights sealing away a powerful threat to Remnant. Mankind takes comfort in these stories and seek out the future with them. But even the greatest of heroes must step down eventually. Remnant a mere shadow of what it once was after its combat school Beacon had fallen, but humanity wanting to find comfort in their stories of heroes rebuild it in a new location, the old Beacon now stands as testament to humanities naivety of the real world and failure to accept what is standing before them.
The screen then showed Beacon as the events of Darkus' unsealing was still evident there as what was once a great and proud school was nothing more than ruins. A small grave stone with the names of all those who died in Beacon was at the gates to Beacons main building as it was erected to honor those who fell fighting.
These stories of Knights of the Makai Battling demon beast that devour humanity and created the Grimm now are just that, stories. Stories humanity finds hope in but if you rely solely on those stories, it will only make your fall much more painful. You may send you're smaller and more honest souls and you may send your knights of the Makai but in the end.
The screen showed two people walking through Vale as they had hoods up and walked calmly through the streets as they were wearing Madou Robes. They soon arrived at a Dust Shop as they looked at the side and saw a Makai Symbol next to it before entering it. As they walked they saw a Madou Tool behind an old man at the front desk as he had Dust Crystals displayed in a glass case in front of him. The two then walked torts the magazines as the girl grabbed a weapon catalog with her left hand revealing a Rose/Human head designed Ring as she took it out and began to read to see what was hot for gear at the moment.
The young man walked a bit deeper into the magazine section and found what he was looking for. The girl may love her weapons but so did this young man as he grabbed one of the weapon magazines and began to read through it.
But master what of the Golden Knight? Surely he will not take our plans lying down.
The Screen soon showed a group of punks walk in as they were led by their young leader as he looked to the old man.
Fear not my apprentice soon even the Golden Knights light will be eclipsed by darkness. And remember our law.
Two there are a Master and an Apprentice I know.
Yes and you are the Apprentice.
"You know old timer a lot of people in this part of town has paid my quite a bit for "protection," yet you didn't pay a single Lien why is that?" The young punk asked as crime had been on the rise lately especially with White Fang vanishing after their leaders disappearance.
"I don't deal with thugs especially young brats who are trying to pretend to be in power." The old man said as the leader glared.
"Hey I'll have you know I just turned 21 not to long ago so I have more strength then you!"
"So you say yet all I see are would be criminals." He said calmly not even bothered by the fact guns were pointed at him.
The young man looked to his cohorts as he glared. "Get the Dust and anything else valuable." The leader said as the thugs nodded and began getting the Dust.
In the Magazine section the young man saw this as he went to his ally and shook her shoulder a bit as she looked at him and took off her head phones that were playing music. She looked and saw the Dust being taken as one of the thugs noticed them before pointed his sword at them.
"Hey you kids hands in the air!" The Thug called as the boy took off his hood revealing Gurren as he seemed calm as the girl removed her hood revealing his fraternal twin Anya.
"You're honestly trying to rob us?" Anya asked as the thug was confused as the tone they used showed they were at the advantage.
"Y-yeah!" The thug said as Gurren glared.
"Big mistake." Gurren said calmly before kicking the man in the gut before pulling the trigger on his sheath launching it at the man knocking him back before he ran forward and then kicked him out the window.
(Outside)
*Insert Garo theme
Gurren stood there as the wind blew his duster with his sword drawn as the gothic skull ring on his finger chuckled.
"Impressive seems to me the old saying holds truth, like mother like children." Zaruba said as he chuckled at this.
In the store the thugs were about to go after Gurren only to be hit by a scythe on the flat side as some of them were either knocked out or bashed away.
*End OST
The leader looked at them before glaring as he looked to the group. "Well alright… GET THEM YOU IDIOTS!" The leader called as Gurren began cutting his way through swords as it wasn't long until the swords of his opponents were all cut to pieces as with the guns with a single slash.
Meanwhile Anya attacked the thugs inside as they were chumps to her and by the looks of it they wouldn't be much of a challenge. As she fought she was soon hit the leader away as the leader was caught off guard. Anya then pulled out her Madou Lighter and lit a red flame in front of his face causing the young man's eyes to react.
"Hey bro I found the Horror!" Anya called as Gurren looked as the Horror quickly jumped through the door only to be blocked by Gurren. The Horror was soon cornered between Gurren and Anya as the two looked at it.
"So which one of us will be the one to cut it down this time?" Anya asked as Gurren looked.
"A Horror is a Horror it doesn't matter who cuts it down as long as it gets cut down." Gurren said calmly as he glared at the Horror with his Silver Eyes.
"Thanks for volunteering then." Anya said as she sheathed her Scythe and jumped away to a fire escape and sat there to watch the fight.
"My, it seems your sister is as troublesome as always Gurren." Zaruba said as Gurren looked.
"Please focus Zaruba." Gurren said as the Horror then charged at Gurren and swiped at him but Gurren leaned back and dodged the attack. The Horror then tried to round house kick Gurren but with his sheath and sword blocked the attack before vanishing and reappearing before the Horror and slashing it before vanishing again and appearing behind the Horror as it turned and slashed at it. Gurren then jumped back as he took his battle stance as Anya watched.
"Seems your Gold Brother is using his Semblance Gold Flower." Eclipse said as she was awoken by the fighting while calling Anya by her nick name given to her by Eclipse.
"Yeah he must really want to end this hunt tonight." Anya said as she watched from above.
Back to the fight The Horror was thrown back as it rolled to the ground just as Gurren came and slashed down on it. But the Horror rolled away as it glared at Gurren. "You Makai bastard I own this town! Not you not anyone else!" The Horror called as Gurren glared.
"Vale belongs to the humans and the Faunus it is no place for Grimm or Horror." Gurren said as he glared at the Horror. The Horror then roared as its body then burst revealing a Horror that took the form of a large demonic rock based monster with sharp stone like fangs in its mouth as its body spoke entirely of Stone. Gurren then pointed Zaruba forward as he needed information on this Horror. "Zaruba!" He called as Zaruba saw the Horror.
"The Stone Smasher Horror Rocgorock its armor is too thick for your normal sword and it will take your awakened Garoken to pierce its body, its slow but very strong so don't get hit by it too much." Zaruba said as finished with the information.
"Understood." Gurren said as he prepared to raise his sword skyward. Gurren then cut an energy circle above him which then opened into a portal. From the portal gold armor pieces came out as they surrounded Gurren before attaching to him forming Golden Armor that had silver eyes. This was the Golden Knight Garo as the Horror was shocked.
"Golden Knight G-Garo?!" The Horror called shocked to see this.
The timer started as Garo glared at the Horror before walking torts Rocgorock as the Horror stepped back in fear.
From her spot Anya smiled seeing her brother summoning his armor as it never got old. "Seems your brother is ready to end this hunt, by the looks of it we weren't really needed." Eclipse said as Anya smiled.
"Well he was always straight forward about Horror Hunts." Anya said as she smiled for her brother. Though he could be a bit of a stick in the mud.
Garo drew his sword as he took a battle stance as the Horror looked like a cornered animal. Though like many Horrors who show there true forms it chose the fight tactic and charged at Garo with the intent to knock him down and escape. But Garo was ready before he punched the Horror and followed it up with a kick. The Horror was knocked down as it rolled on the ground a bit as it quickly got back up. But Garo was already upon it as it slashed at the Horror sending its blood flying which luckily it didn't land on anyone as the Horror clawed at Garo only for it to be blocked by the Garoken.
Garo forced the claw off before spinning and stabbing the Horror in the chest before cutting it in two. The Horror then let out a death gasp before it blew up into black ink like smoke as it was now sealed into the Garoken. "Horror… cut down." Garo said before reverting to Gurren as Anya jumped down as she smiled at Gurren.
"Well another successful hunt." Anya said as Gurren looked at her skeptically.
"But I was the one who cut down the Horror." Gurren said as Anya lightly pushed him.
"Don't be a stick in the mud we're supposed to be teammates after all when it comes to cutting down Horrors." Anya said as Gurren looked.
"I could have handled it on my own." Gurren said as Zaruba chuckled.
"Don't be boastful Gurren you two are at your best when you're a team and let's not forget who, were the three people who helped you design the Garokens Gun/Sheath combo when you kept trying again and again. Here's a hint one of them is here." Zaruba said as Gurren sighed.
"Let's go we have to bring this Horror to the Watchdog." Gurren said before Anya nodded and followed Gurren to the Watchdog Site. Unnoticed by them upon a building top was a Cat Faunus woman with a cat based Kabuki mask and in Japanese Priestess robes mixed with samurai robes as she looked down upon the two knights seeing the whole fight.
She then began to walk away in her red clogs and then vanished out of thin air like she was a spirit, or a ninja.
(Scene Break Watchdog Site)
Gurren had stabbed the Garoken into the wolf statues knife as when he pulled out a dagger was produced as a Priest took it to take it to the Makai. "Good work Golden Knight Garo, Scorching Heat Knight Yaiba the Horror shall be sent to the Makai to be sealed." The Watchdog said as this new Watchdog seemed to be older then her predecessor by the appearance of a young woman.
"Thank you." Gurren said as Anya smiled.
"It was no problem sealing Horrors helps pay the bills after all." Anya said as the Watchdog looked.
"Do not get a bloated head Scorching Heat Knight Yaiba after all you did was locate the Horror while the Golden Knight battled said Horror." The Watchdog said as Anya's ego deflated.
"Is there anything else you wish from us Madame Watchdog?" Gurren asked as the Watchdog looked.
"Not at the moment you two may leave, if another Horror shows up I will contact you." The Watchdog said before the two bowed respectfully and left once they stood back up.
(Scene Break that morning Seijima Rose Residence: Anya's bedroom)
Anya was the first to get up as she stretched after a good night's rest from what was left of the night after that hunt. As she stretched she moved to the edge and smiled as on her dresser was Eclipse on her stand while near it was her wardrobe. Leaning on said wardrobes side was the Yaiba Scythe as it awaited its master's call. The room itself looked like a teenage girl's bedroom if you counted the posters of weapons on the walls and weapon magazines normal.
Anya got up and stretched a bit as her joints popped back into place as she smiled. "Alright." She said before heading to the bathroom to begin her morning rituals.
(After the bathroom)
Anya walked out as she was refreshed and ready for the day. Luckily nothing could go wrong for her, at least in her opinion as she walked downstairs and saw her brother's bedroom door was already open. No doubt he was up and about as sense they had multiple bathrooms in the house they were free to use either for their morning rituals.
As Anya walked down the stairs she saw her brother Gurren eating his breakfast as it was simple for him and she looked sadly as once again her mother wasn't there. It had become somewhat of a routine she looks for her mother and hope she would be home but she wasn't here, no doubt had to work again. Their father was off Oum knows where while there mother was a teaching at New Beacon and with their parents work, preexisting fortune, and their own Horror hunts, everything was good financial wise.
Their family wasn't distant and they weren't perfect but they could use some work at the very least. Anya sat down and grabbed her breakfast of eggs, bacon, and toast not noticing the plate of cookies on the table that were recently touched as Anya sat down and began to eat.
As Anya ate a familiar figure in a black and red combat dress that had forgone the riding hood motif and take a more huntress like design as around her shoulders was a red hood that would never go away. As she saw down on the table Anya as Anya didn't notice before she spoke. "Anya can you pass the plate of cookies?" A now older Ruby said Anya nodded.
"Sure mom." Anya said before passing the plate to Ruby.
"3…2…1." Gurren said as it sunk in for Anya as she went wide eyed.
"Mom!" Anya called as she jumped up and hugged her mother as it caused Ruby to fall down to which the two laughed.
"Hey Anya." Ruby greeted her daughter as Anya looked to her mother.
"When did you get back? How long are you going to stay? How New Beacon!?" Anya asked fast as Gurren just ate calmly.
"I got back this morning they had me take some time off to be with family what with preparations to accept new students on the way. I should be here for about a week. New Beacon is great but kind of hectic at the moment what with the latest batch of first year students." Ruby explained as Anya nodded.
"So Cool." Anya squealed as she was happy to have such a cool mom.
"So as long as no jobs from the Watchdog comes in for you its mother/daughter/son bonding for the week." Ruby said as she and Anya appeared next to Gurren as she pulled both into a hug which caught Gurren off guard.
"Yay." Gurren said plainly as Ruby looked.
"Where do you get that from I'll never know." Ruby said as the family then returned to eating there food.
(Scene Break Atlas)
A young man clearly a Schnee was sleeping in as he lived in a rather spacious apartment complex usually reserved for those in his line of work. On his neck was a Madou Amulet as he was dressed in black clothing. Near his bed was a coat rack with a black duster on it as next to his bed was a scroll in a charger as he slept. That was when his scroll began to vibrate as it wasn't long before it rung playing Mirror, Mirror as the young man woke up with a shock and looked and answered the phone.
"Hello?" He asked as he wondered who was calling.
"Rey happy you decided to picked up I saw your concert and what I want to know where you got that scar?" Came a familiar voice as Rey looked.
"Mom it was just a Horror hunt gone south nothing to worry about." Rey said as Weiss scoffed.
"When my only son gets a scar like that of course I'm going to worry." Weiss said over the phone as Rey realized something.
"So you saw my concert?" Rey said as Weiss was surprised he caught that.
"Well I only watched to see my only blood son's talent and it's a shame he wastes it on something uncultured… but you did great on stage better than my time." Weiss said as Rey chuckled. That was when he got another call as he saw it and saw who was calling.
"Hey mom I'm going to have to let you go someone on the other line calling." Rey said as Weiss nodded.
"Bye love you." Weiss said as Rey nodded.
"Love you too mom." Rey said before hanging up and answering the other call. "Talk to me." Rey said as he listened.
"Hey Rey you're probably aware but guess who called trying to buy us off again?" A voice on the other end asked as Rey looked.
"Let me a guess a Mr. Schnee, head of the Schnee Dust Corporation." Rey said as his band mate nodded.
"The very same." He said as Rey sighed.
"You let him know I'm not interested in taking his money or endorsement?" Rey asked as the bandmate nodded.
"Yeah, though I can understand your problem with him bet you the Schnee Dust Corporation will start sinking soon and we don't want to be part of that sinking boat." The bandmate said as Rey nodded. That was when Rey heard a ringing sound and looked to see a red letter on his desk before walking over to it and picking it up.
"Hey man I got a message looks important, I'll call you back once I read it." Rey said as he picked up the letter. Rey then went to his duster and pulled out his Madou Lighter before lighting the letter aflame in a blue flame. Once the letter turned to ashes he saw the message as he read it.
"A Gate has opened in your district, the Demon Beast seeks the inventors of new machines, cut down this Horror." Rey read as soon his Madou Amulet spoke.
"My, it seems that you are on the case to another Horror." Silva said as Rey looked.
"I know Silva and worse part is I think I know where its hunting ground is." Rey said as Silva looked.
"Looks like the order might make you have to talk to your grandfather and aunt." Silva said as Rey sighed.
"Maybe if I'm quick about it I can avoid having to deal with him." Rey said as he was really dreading this assignment. Rey then grabbed his duster before grabbing breakfast as after he ate he stretched a bit before he was out the door.
(Later at a Bar)
Outside in the middle of a town, with a bar with a sigh overhead that says, 'Grande Lupo', as the name help make it stick out sometimes to the people that comes to their, but the silver emblem on the main door itself as it look like a ink paint with a wolf in it howling at the moon.
Inside a nice place to be, smaller than most bars but still nice with the atmosphere was calm with soft music playing, the only thing that may stick out from everything as against the back wall over the bar lay a bowl with a crystal handing over it with a few Makai symbols on the bowl itself.
With the few people inside mostly drunk off their ass, as one guy picked up a pack of Cigarette to see it was empty and disappointed by that as it seem he wanted a smoke.
As an older gentleman walk by the guy, as he taps his shoulder and said, "Yo, Gramps. You have any Cigarette?"
"Yeah. There's plenty in the vending machine outside," The old man said as he walk to behind the bar as the guy said, "That not what I asked." As the guy waited a moment before going out to get another pack of Cigarettes.
The old man seem didn't care as he pulled out a can of something before opening it and pouring a glass for it, as no one order it but he knew someone was coming in soon, as the Cigarette guy open the door, walk to the side drunk to get out of someone way as they came in as they said, "Thanks."
The guy look to the person who came in; thought for a moment before he just shrugs it off, and walks outside to get his pack of Cigarettes.
As the old man look to the person who came in and put the glass of something with cream and place in front of the person as the old man said, "Good to see you again Ray."
Ray was in front of the old man as he took the drink and said, "How it been old man." Took a sip and said, "Cream soda?"
"Of course." The man said as he was polishing a glass. "But something tells me you're not here for leisure." The man said as he looked to Rey.
"Yeah a Horror has shown up hoping you might have information on it that you can give." Rey said as the old man put the glass with the others.
"I might depends on what kind of Horror it is." The old man said as Rey looked to him.
"It's a Horror that basically hunts inventors." Rey said as the man looked before nodding.
"I know of such a Horror, it's called Machina the Machine Horror normally it possesses those who have been humiliated in a way the inventors do, such as inventing something but someone stealing his or her idea, or even his invention being saw as completely useless." The old man said as Rey looked to the old man.
"So what would Machina's normal targets be?" Rey asked as the old man looked.
"Quite possibly those associated with the host's humiliation and even the group they work with." The old man said as Rey had one more question before he goes hunting.
"The target's hunting ground where, is it?" Rey asked as the man who was about to polish another glass stopped.
"I know where it is but you won't like it." The man said as Rey looked.
"Try me." Rey said as the man sighed.
"It's the Schnee Dust Company main HQ here in Atlas." The man said as Rey sighed.
"As long as I don't get noticed I should be good." Rey said as he finished his Soda and paid for his drink. "Thank you for the drink." Rey said before he left to the Schnee Dust Company HQ.
"Good luck." The man said as Rey simply waved.
(Later Schnee Dust Company)
Rey walked to the large buildings grounds as he saw through the glass doors a crime scene there as from the look of it the Horror had fed there. "This is the 5th one this week." An Atlas guard said as Rey stayed hidden.
"Yeah makes people wonder if the Schnee Company really is what they say they are." The second guard said as Rey listened.
"We're going to have to check all members of the company even Mr. Schnee himself." The guard said before they were called on the radio to assist with something. Once they were gone Rey took his chance to get into the building so Silva can get a trail on where the Horror is.
Walking in greeted to the site of the front desk area along with seating area and a small, safe to say he can blend in around, as there were people around being line up for questioning, as others were working, as they say 'business must go on'.
Walking around as he asked Silva through their link, 'Any sign of the Horror or a trail?'
"No on the Horror, but there is a trail but its faint, but it seem the Horror is mostly leaving but it has been here multiple times to say," Silva said to Ray as his thought was, "So it's not someone working here, maybe someone with grudge."
He's not going to get anywhere by walking or standing around, he need to talk to a few people that may know a thing or two, and then he saw a lunch stand with some people gather around, as he thought, 'perfect' as he could talk to people while getting something to eat.
Ray walk up the Meal vendor person as he said, "One egg sandwich, and a water please." Been given the sandwich with the water as he pays for it.
Walking up to the nearest group that was talking to each other seeing what they were saying as he ate his sandwich.
"First Tom, then Jack, and now Mike. All the guys I know from Tech development. If this keep up we might not get the next product done and this company would go down the damn drain," someone said to their friends as they say, "Can you blame anyone. With Mr. Schnee going on with this Company and all the people he screw over, it's just amazing someone doesn't off the big man himself."
Ray needed to get a bit more and so he walk up to them after he took a sip of his water and asked then, "Hey, sorry to butt in, but I have to asked something."
"Who are you?" The first guy asked as Ray answer with a lie, "Just someone passing by, here to see a friend my mine who works here but it seem thing have been happening around I don't know what been happening with him, and I just have to ask something."
"Ah, sure I guess. What do you want to know?" The 2nd guy said a Ray. "You know when this all started, or if someone would be holding a grudge about something?"
"Well it started about I don't know 5 days ago, two people were killed. We don't know what happen to them as people are not giving out the full story, then a few days later another person was attack, their body was hanging from the upper floors, it was a pretty site, lastly was the other day as someone found Jack body within the vent with his lower half missing, as people say it was, some nut job guy who worked here, that had this crazy or brilliant idea of something, but Mr. Schnee saw there was no profit in it as it would cost more than the outcome, even giving the idea the money would come later but the guy was let go before it could happen."
"Really, you guy wouldn't happen to know the name of the person would you?" Ray asked as he took a bit of his sandwich as the first guy thought for a moment and said, "Jerry Smith, he was with Tech Development before he was let go, and his access was revoke."
"Hmm, at least it wasn't him," Ray said to keep up with his lie and he finish his sandwich and said, "Well thanks anyways."
"Good luck on finding your friend, hopefully he is a lucky one," The 2nd guy said before Ray nodded and walk off and said as he was about of range of anyone to hear him, "Jerry smith, let see if you are what I think you are."
Sneaking around avoiding cameras view as he came around every corner and reaching the employ files room, as the guy may have been let go but the 'Schnee Dust Company' always keep a file on a person that worked within their Company.
AS he was about to reach it as someone stop him and said, "Hey, this area is restricted to the employees only."
Ray turn to see a hired security guard man who looked really build up, as he see Mr. Schnee is putting some investment in security personal and not android as Ray held up his hand and said, "Hold on, I do have a pass, I just put it in my inner pocket."
As Ray went into motion of grabbing out something from his duster only to pull his hand out fast balled up and knock out the guy as he fell fast before Ray reach for him and grab before the guy hit the ground and said, "Sorry about this."
Ray drag the guy over to a janitors closet that locks from the outside, as he open the door and put the guy in as he said, "I'll call someone to get you out later." As he was about to close the door, he stop and bend down to pick the guy access badge off of his shirt and said, "I'll return this as well." The close the door and went on going to the files room.
As Rey entered the file room he saw that like everything in Atlas it was digital as Rey walked over to a terminal and began accessing with the man's badge. Luckily he had access so he began to search up the name. "Jerry Smith." He said as he accessed the file and began to look.
"I don't understand why you don't use your title as a Schnee to make hunts around here easier, your grandfather already knows you exist and so does your aunt eventually someone here will recognize you and attempt to bring you to your grandfather." Silva said as Rey read the file.
"I know Silva but I refuse to even accept that man as my grandfather, all he wants for me is to take his place as head of the Schnee Dust Company and that is something I'll never do after the Inga this place created with the Faunus and the White Fang." Rey said as he read over the file.
"You have a point there." Silva said as Rey nodded.
"Well it says here that the man had an invention that could revolutionize Dust production and even make it an alternative to Dust." Rey said as Silva looked.
"And sense this company literally runs off of Dust and the required new jobs that would require people to know how to work this it was a very risky strategy and could even cause the market on Dust to Crash." Silva said as Rey nodded.
"Yeah looks like we might have found Machina." Rey said as he quickly signed off and began to head out. "I better hurry after all someone might recognize me here." Rey said as he made his exit.
As Rey left the data room he decided to drop off the key at the front desk claiming someone had dropped it so hopefully when that guard woke up he can get his ID back. As Rey walked he soon heard voices and hid behind a wall and to his shock he saw his Aunt Winter walking down the hall passing him not even noticing him as accompanying her was a Schnee worker.
"Ms. Schnee I'm telling you I think I saw Rey come into the building, I didn't recognize him at first but he looked to be snooping around." The man said as Winter looked.
"I understand your concern and will bring it up with security and my father but until then I have important matters to attend to with my father, mainly involving the murders that have been happening here." Winter said as she walked away.
"Of course Ms. Schnee." The man said before taking a turn and walking away.
Rey quickly hid behind the opposite wall and it was good because Winter looked behind her as she saw nothing and shrugged. "That was close." Silva said as Rey looked.
"Yeah a little too close." Rey said as once he was sure Winter was gone ran in case she came back as he soon arrived at the main entrance and began walking to the front desk.
One he arrived he was met with a hologram of a young woman as she was clearly an AI going through Data on who had to go where. "Pardon me I found this security ID lying about and was wondering if you can have it returned to its owner." Rey said as the AI nodded.
"Of course please place it on the desk and let me scan your Scroll." The AI said as Rey was wide eyed as he had already put the pass in but before he could run the woman finished scanning his scroll. "I will be sure it is returned to its owner Mr. Schnee." The woman said as she cataloged the data for security reason. Rey looked around and saw no one heard as it was getting very close to night time as being that Atlas is very much a cold place all year round Rey was expecting it to get cold. Luckily his Madou Robes kept him warm during cold times, which was 24/7, and cool in warm places, which was far in between.
Rey quickly began to walk away hoping no one notices him and recognized him as he had to run fast or risk being caught by someone who recognized him. Luckily he made it as he looked for a vantage point that was hidden to keep an eye out for the Horror as sense this was its hunting grounds it will undoubtedly come back to feast.
"What about up there?" Silva asked as Rey looked to where Silva was looking and saw a building that was smaller than the others in Atlas and smirked before running over to it and climbing up its Fire Escape. Rey saw the place was condemned so it will probably be torn down soon which means he has to wait for the Horror to show up so with how low the sun is, it's only a matter of time.
"And now we wait." Rey said as he arrived on the top and waited for the Horror to show up.
(Later that night)
Rey looked up as he had pulled up his hood to keep his head warm as even though his Madou Robes kept his body warm it didn't excuse the fact that he was cold. Rey knew people of Atlas were so used to it they had practically built up an immunity to it but even they can only take so much before seeking the nearest warm spot they can find. Serious you Horror show up." Rey said as he waited for the Horror to show itself. That was when Rey saw a man walk to the building as the only people who should be entering is night security and the people who should be staying are those in the office parts that had late night work.
Rey saw the man go to the door before slipping through the locked doors right now the middle as if he was some kind of flat being. Rey jumped down and chased after him knowing that the Horror was going to feed. He ran after the Horror as his duster trailed behind him being blown by the wind as he ran as he went to the door and saw it was locked.
Rey tried to open it but it would not budge as he cursed and hit the door with his opened palm. Rey was about to break the glass to the door before he saw the key pad on the door turn from red to green as the door unlocked which was weird. It couldn't have scanned his scroll because it was in his pocket and he didn't present it and he didn't input that ever changing password.
"Seems someone inside is helping you." Silva said as Rey smirked.
"Let go!" Rey called as he opened the door and began looking for the Horror. But Rey looked around and didn't see the Horror here as he looked at Silva.
"The Horror is in this room but its remaining hidden trying to disregard you no doubt solely focused on its main target." Silva said as Rey looked.
"And who or what can that be?" Rey asked Silva but he failed to hear the footsteps behind him before it spoke.
"Rey what are you doing here?" Came a voice Rey hated with everything in him. Rey looked and saw none other than his grandfather, the head of the Schnee dust company and no doubt he was probably still mad about a little incident with the board where Rey basically told him off right in front of them. That did bring a smile to his mother and aunts faces when they heard but no doubt he wasn't expecting him here.
'He's not the Horror but if I had to guess he's probably the Horror's target.' Silva said through the mental link as Rey mentally nodded.
"Sorry old man but I'm here on business." Rey said as the stubborn head of the Schnee Dust Company looked.
"And what business would that be, admiring your inheritance?" He asked as he clearly wanted Rey to take his place.
"Fat chance!" Rey yelled before footsteps were heard as a dark ominous breath was heard. The breath was followed by a chuckled as Rey and Mr. Schnee looked around for the source.
"So I don't get to devour one, but two Schnee's for the price of one." Came a voice as Mr. Schnee vaguely remembers.
"Come out and show yourself Jerry I know you're behind the attacks!" Rey called before from the shadows a middle aged man walked out dressed in a lab coat as he smiled sinisterly at the two.
"You, I thought had you throw out of this Company," Mr. Schnee said to Jerry as the man just laugh at him as he said, "Yes you did, and it ruin my life. My wife left me soon she hears I was fired, and my accounted got frozen because of you, and there be nothing sweeter than devouring you, but first I think I would have my fun!"
The man raise his arm as it turn into a buzz saw thing as it started to spin making that buzz sound, as Mr. Schnee was shocked to see such a thing as he took a step back from fear, as Ray scoffed at him, as he may show he a big man with his money, but dealing with monsters he a coward its seems.
As Jerry came running up at the two, Ray pull out his two short soul metal swords and block the incoming attack.
The horror push down onto Ray as the buzz saw came close to him, but he put a foot behind him and shoves the horror back before slashing at him.
The horror cry in pain, as it look to Ray, his mouth up in a demonic way, as Schnee back away even more before reaching for his scroll and call security, but the horror throw a saw disc at him and hit the scroll before he could hit the dial button.
The saw came back to the horror as it throw it again, but Ray slash at it, deflect it back at the horror as it just caught it.
The two stood there looking at each other, as Ray held his sword in a reverse grip.
The horror soon changes its weapon from a buzz saw to chainsaw and came at Ray. The horror swung the saw at him, Ray duck away before slashing at it and kicking it away.
Stumbling back as Ray came up to it and did a hurricane kick to it throwing it off its feet and down on the ground as the chain saw was cutting into the floors as Mr. Schnee said, "Carful with the floors, they are high grade marble!"
Ray roll his eyes, as Mr. Schnee care about the marble floor, he wonder if the old man even cares about his family, a ray is fighting against a monster that could kill him if given the chance.
The horror rise back up and change his weapon again from chainsaw to a giant drill. Charging at Ray with the spinning spike end part as it rapidly spins, Ray parry it with his swords, as the horror is doing some thrusting motion like his mother with her rapier, it was easy to see it coming, as he hit it away.
Slashing at it left and right, before a high kick to the horrors chin making it back flip away and on its back making a spider web crack in the floor ruining it more.
"Rey he's a liability right now we need to get him out of here and make sure he keeps quiet about this." Silva said as Rey cursed trying to figure out what to do.
Unknown to anyone a shadow was sneaking up behind Mr. Schnee before knocking him out with a swift clean neck chop as Mr. Schnee fell down knocked out. Rey and the Horror looked and saw none other than Weiss there as Rey smiled a bit.
"Mom." Rey said as Weiss looked just in time to see the Horror charged at her. But Weiss then used her summoning glyph to bring forth Indominus as the creature roared and head butted the Horror away as Weiss ran over to Rey.
"Let me guess, Horror hunt?" Weiss asked as Rey looked.
"Yeah." Rey said as Weiss sighed.
"Seriously makes me wonder how I deal with the fact my son does this and still stays sane." Weiss said as the two then looked to the Horror.
"You get used to it." Silva said as she saw the Horror. "But right now we need to focus on him." Silva said as Rey and Weiss nodded.
The Horror was stuck in Indominus mouth and just about had enough before he roared and used a car jack like item to force Indominus mouth open and escape. Once he was out the Horror then transformed its entire arm into a missile launcher before taking aim and firing at the, summon and the result was Indominus being defeated.
The Horror growled as it glared at Weiss and Rey. "Schnee's I hate them, I hate them!" The Horror roared as his body soon burst apart revealing a demonic machine based Horror as parts of its body were organic to show the part that was a Horror. The Horror roared as it was taller than them.
"Rey..." Weiss began as she looked to her son who looked back. "Get to work." Weiss said as Rey smirked.
"On it." Rey said before raising his swords skyward before summoning two circles which merged into one and open. From them armor pieces came out before attaching to Rey as now in Rey's place was the Fanged Knight Zero.
Zero swung his swords around in his hands from side to side before striking a pose and blue flame symbol for Zero appeared behind him.
ZERO
"Let's finish this." Zero said as he took a battle stance and held his swords at the ready.
The horror roar as it change its arms into huge bladed weapon and soon enough it charge at Zero, as the Makai knight summon forth his glyphs around the horror, as he charge at it zooming all around before doing slash and dash attack, destroy its some of its metal parts.
As Weiss didn't want to be left out, she was train as a huntress before so why not put it to use, as she pull out her rapier weapon and gave the cylinders on it a spin as they lock in an elemental combo of wind, and ice.
Summon forth a winter storm that blow at the horror keeping it at bay, and change the combo again to fire, earth, and wind and shot forth lava bolt at it as it hits the horror as it cry out in pain.
Zero look to his mother and said, "You still got it." Weiss smile at her son and said, "Thank you."
Zero turn back to the horror as his thought was to end it now, as he put his sword together making a double end weapon, as he summon a glyph at his feet and shot forth at the horror as he slash at the horror making a huge gash at its side, before turning and spin weapon and went for a stab motion through its chest, as the horror gave a death cry before it burst in a black mist and seal within Zero swords.
After everything clear up, Zero armor vanish leaving Ray in place as he gave a smile to his mother as she walks to him and rubs his head as she said, "You may inherit the Schnee's white hair, and glyphs, but your more like your father every day."
"Come on, mom." Ray said that a bit embarrass even if there was no people around.
Weiss looked at her own father and wonder what she going to do as Ray said, "Don't worry, I'll ask someone to drop by and help fix up the place as well change his memories a bit, making seem he has a bit one too many."
Weiss sighed at that, at least there were some good things that came with the 'Order'.
"I'll get him into his office and remove some footage, just make sure no one would come here," Weiss asked her son as he title his head a bit and scratch at it as he said, "No promises, with how things going here, I'm just surprise it's just the one."
Weiss nodded as she understood, even after beacon and other crazy adventures afterwards she had, Schnee Dust Company is still on thin ice and a lot of people hates them. Weiss may have fixed the problem with Faunus payment and medical care; they were still getting the rough treatment with things, and to top it off her father is doing a lot of layoffs, things been treading.
"Well at least be safe," Weiss told her son as he nodded and they both gave each other a hug before Ray left out the door.
"The path of a Makai Knight is never a safe one." Silva said as Weiss sighed as Rey left.
"I know." Weiss said sadly said as Rey headed to the Watchdog site.
(Later with Rey)
Rey arrived at the Watchdog site not too long ago and had stabbed his swords into the wolf statue as soon a sealing dagger appeared which the Atlas Watchdog who was very male took.
"Thank you Fanged Knight Zero but your timing is impeccable. I will also send the priests to erase your grandfather's memories of the Horror and such." The Watchdog said as Rey nodded. "Now then another assignment has come up, one long term assignment." He said as Rey was soon presented with a red letter.
Rey drew his Madou Lighter and lit it causing a message appear. "A darkness from the old order has appeared one whose memory still taints all Knight and priests to this day. A remnant of the Dark Knight Order has appeared and wishes to target New Beacon Academy for a Sacred Gate, attend Beacon with another and seek out this Sacred Gate before the Dark Ones do and awaken the Messiah." Rey read as the Watchdog looked.
"The Messiah as you know is the progenitor of the Horrors and if a Sacred Gate has once again been born then you and the new Makai Team will attend New Beacon and seek out the Sacred Gate. If these two find the Sacred Gate before you do they can awaken ad bring the Messiah into our world." The Watchdog said as Rey looked.
"Man my band isn't going to like this sense New Beacon is all the way in Vale." Rey said as the Watchdog nodded.
"We have already taken the liberty of drawing up a transcript for you but you must be there soon, no doubt the Dark Knights are already there." The Watchdog said as Rey looked.
"Can I ask how you know all this?" Rey asked as the Watchdog looked.
"The order had spies among us, and we were lucky to find them." The Watchdog said as Rey accepted that answer.
"I will gather my things then." Rey said before leaving to gather his gear as well as inform his band of what was going on.
(Scene Break a few days later Vale's Watchdog site)
Gurren and Anya entered the Watchdog sit as they had spent a few days with their mother before orders had come in. The duo walked in as they looked to the Watchdog before bowing. "Hello madam Watchdog." Gurren greeted as he looked to the Watchdog.
"Welcome Golden Knight and Scorching Heat Knight I have an assignment for you that is of the upmost importance." The Watchdog said as she looked to them. "Are you all aware of the Splinter Cell faction of the Order that detached and formed their own order with the intent of cutting down and ruling humans if it meant cutting down Horrors?" The Watchdog asked as Gurren nodded.
"Of course." Gurren said as the Watchdog looked.
"Well the order after discovering spies has learned of the existence of one last Dark One and now they intend on unleashing the Messiah so it's to assume they are aware of the existence of a Sacred Gate and we have learned this Sacred Gate is in Neo Beacon we must find her before the Dark Ones do and unleash the Messiah through her." The Watchdog said as Zaruba spoke.
"The Messiah this could become extremely troublesome considering the Messiah can only rise through a Sacred Gate and a Sacred Gate is only born once every million years." Zaruba said as the Watchdog nodded.
"Yes if this Sacred Gate is attending new Beacon then you must find her at all costs, if these dark ones are aware of her existence then they must know who she is then." The Watchdog said as Gurren nodded.
"I shall assist with this assignment." Gurren said as Anya looked.
"Someone has to stop these two and if the Messiah is involved then failure is not an option." Anya said as Eclipse chuckled.
"That sounds like something Flower Girl would say, Gold Flower." Eclipse said as she knew Ruby would also accept this mission if needed.
"Good, two others will join you on this assignment as well and be part of your team they will reveal themselves to you once you arrive at Beacon, we have already took the liberty of making transcripts for you with Qrow and Taiyang vouching for you." The Watchdog said as Gurren nodded.
"Of course madam Watchdog." Gurren said as Anya looked.
"So who are our teammates?" Anya asked as the Watchdog looked.
"All in good time." the Watchdog said before the two bowed and left. "I pray they succeed." The Watchdog said as she knew the destruction and Hell the Messiah would bring upon this world if it was ever awoken.
Where there is Light Shadows Lurk and fear Reigns, yet by the blade of night mankind was given hope.
*Insert: In My World by ROOKiEZ is PUNK'D
The song starts off as the screen showed the Garoken, the Zero Blades, and the Yaiba Scythe accompanied by Zaruba, Silva, and Eclipse. Finally two Disks called Firestorm appeared as with it was a Madou Brush as soon everything burst out as the title appeared before it starting the song.

The Image show to a cathedral that showed young Arka laying there as around her were the three Makai Knights. When it came to Gurren Garo stood behind him. It then switched to Anya and showing Yaiba behind her as she looked depressed or perhaps in a trance of sorts. Then it showed Rey as he was in a similar state as behind him was Zero as the armor moved with him like with the others. Finally was Omiko as she held her disks ready to cut down as she looked at her wrist to reveal Madou Tools that seem to glow as they were wrapped around her wrist.
-Unmei nante kuso kurae! Yarikirenakute cry for pride!-
The screen showed Garo fighting Kiba as the two clashed blades in a world of white and Makai Symbols as the two flared at Silver Eyes met soulless white eyes.

The screen showed team GARO fighting through Horrors as they came falling down weapons drawn as before them was Salem with a smirk before she summoned a barrier to blow them away.

-Kizuki ageteku kizuna to ashita. Haite sutete mo kekkyoku taisetsu nana. It's my precious life.-
The screen showed New Beacons tower as a top is was Team GARO as they over looked Vale, the wilderness, and the school as the wind blew blowing their hair and dusters. The moon shined upon them as even though it was shattered it still lit the guiding light in the night to guide warriors.
