*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.
GARO Remnant Knight
-Dark side in my heart is. Nugisarenai kako no kanashimi. It's alright kokonor mo nai. Blastar hanachi Te wo nobashita-
The screen showed Gurren walking down a dark path as accompanying him was Anya, Rey, and Omiko as they when they passed Horrors came out as their hands reached out to the light they followed no doubt wanting to destroy it.
-Sakete toorenai michi wa. Itsu kara ko kanna data. Shoshite daremo inakunatta.-
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.
-Ah, ah; ah alone in my world. Hibikiku ai no uta. Yuganda sekai magatte negai. Kuzuresatte iku risou to ashita. Haite suteru hodo ni taikutsu data. Goodbye precious life.-
The Screen showed the Garoken before a hand grabbed it revealing Gurren as Gurren drew the Garoken and slashed away a Horror. It then showed the rest of Team GARO fighting Horrors as Gurren lead the charge.
-Unmei nante nurikaete. Kizu darake ni natte try for pride-
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.
-Ah, ah; ah alone in my world! Soredemo ai wo utai-
The screen showed Garo on Gouten, Zero on Ginga, and Yaiba on her Madou Horse Akatsuki riding torts an army of Horrors in the Makai as they were intend on winning.
-Hizuna sekai todokazu negai.-
The screen showed Omiko in a white room as her bracelets were off as her aura was building up to mass levels around her as she was panicking and scared.
-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.
-Dark Clouds in my heart is. Harewatari michi ni hikari was shashita. Let's fight osore wa nai. Moroha no tsurugi furikazashita.-
The Screen showed the team in the dark path again but this time they were running as they had weapons drawn before the stopped and turned around before the Knights summoned there armors while Omiko took out her disks and charged at the Hordes of Horrors coming after them.
(Start)
Team GARO and Team ARRK were walking through Vale as people were setting up for the Vytal festival. Omiko was reading the news, Gurren was being calm, Anya was enjoying a bag of cookies, Arka was relaxed, Raiden who was dressed in a suit over his Cyber armor was keeping Rena in check, Rena was hyper, Kuro was Kuro, and Rey was on the phone.
"Look I know we'll do the concert for the Vytal Festival don't worry our video practice hasn't failed us yet so our new song should be a hit." Rey said on the phone with his band mates. "Alright see you guys in a week." Rey said before hanging up.
"Can someone tell me why we're in Vale today?" Gurren asked as Raiden spoke. "We'll I'm here to scoop out the competition for the tournament, Rena wanted to eat at an all you can eat buffet, and both Arka and Anya wanted the day off." Raiden said as Kuro looked.
"Meeting someone." Kuro said as he looked.
"Oh who?" Rey asked as Kuro was silent.
"Well I wanted to go meet up with auntie Yang she said she wanted to talk about the appearances of the Black Claw leader and wanted my help." Anya said as Omiko looked.
"I'm coming along because it's my day off." Omiko said as they walked.
"Well I guess it's a boring day today." Eclipse said as Zaruba agreed.
"Don't worry, enjoy your day off." Silva said as Gurren looked as they soon arrived at the spot to go their separate ways.
"Well let's enjoy our day then." Anya said before Omiko looked.
"Wait we should go together as a team." She said as Gurren looked.
"Perhaps but we should meet back up before night falls that way we can get back to New Beacon." Gurren said as everyone agreed.
"Well; have fun." Arka said before the two teams split up.
With team GARO on their own now as Anya jumped up and down a bit as she said, "It going to be fun to see Auntie Yang again."
Gurren put a hand on her shoulder and said, "Calm down Anya, and beside she won't be in the area in the next hour or so."
Rey put his hand behind his head and said, "Time to kill and places to see, and I think I may join you guys."
Anya looks to him and said, "Why that?"
Rey shrugs and said, "What my mother told me about team RWBY before, I think it would be nice to see another person of it."
"Oh right, mom and auntie Yang were on the same team with your mother, and someone called Blake," Anya recall from what her mother said to her as Gurren said Blake Belladonna, Cat faunus because of her ears, and an ex-member of the white fang before she left as white fang wasn't fighting for peace and equality anymore."
Omiko looked at the twins and asked, "What happen to her?"
Anya shrugs and said, "Don't know." "She ran away sometime after the fall of beacon sense then, no one really knew or told what happen to her," Gurren told as Rey nodded now understand what happen, as his mother knew much but not what happened to her Faunus teammate.
Rey spotted a cafe and said, "Hey who' up for a cream soda?"
"I prefer a milkshake," Omiko said as Anya thought for a moment and said, "I do like a strawberry milkshake myself."
"Gurren?" Rey asked his team leader as he spoken, "Can't hurt for one soda."
Rey patted his back and said, "Now you're getting into the spirit." Anya giggle at that as the four went to the café and get their drinks.
(Kuro)
Kuro broke off from his team as they went off to do their things as Raiden look to student coming over from the other 3 school, Rena all you can eat buffet, and Arka… went to a flower shop to replace some plant and flowers she blows up.
Kuro went through an alley way, and jumping over a wooden fence, and to a back door area, as he pull out a key, unlocks the door and went inside.
Inside, one of white Fang old warehouses before they got kicked out by the Black Fang, as some things were left behind as it could be a perfect hid out for anyone.
Kuro looked around and walk right in.
Once he walked in he saw that a familiar illusion was in play before closing his eyes and then opening them to reveal a more bird like view and saw what was hidden. "Mom please stop the trick no one is here." Kuro said as from the shadows Emerald Sustrai as she looked to her son.
"Kuro your here, how did you find this place?" Emerald asked as Kuro looked.
"You and dad left your marks lying around." Kuro said as Emerald hugged her son. "And I had a little Semblance help." Kuro said as he looked to his mother.
"I'm happy to see you and all but where you followed?" Emerald asked as she looked to him.
"No but... is dad around?" Kuro asked as Emerald nodded.
"Yeah he's working on opening a garage but getting the lien is tough." Emerald said as she knew exactly why money was tough to get.
"Hey is that Kuro?" Came a voice of a middle aged man as from behind some vehicles came an older Mercury as his prosthetic legs seem to be in working order for the time being.
"Hey dad how are the legs?" Kuro asked as Mercury looked.
"Not broken." Mercury said as he pocketed parts to fix his legs when broken.
"Ok." Kuro said as he looked to his parents. They had to go hungry to get the money to enroll him into combat school and he worked his ass off to get a scholarship to New Beacon.
"Hey while your mom makes a bad attempt to cook something why don't you and I work on this car I got?" Mercury said as Emerald glared.
"My cooking isn't that bad." Emerald said as Mercury looked.
"Your right it's God damn terrible." Mercury said as Emerald glared.
"You're not a 5 star chef ether, dad," Kuro said as he still remember all the times he ate his dad cooking as well. Emerald giggle a bit as Mercury said, "Traitor."
Emerald headed to the kitchen area and said, "I'll try to cook something up while you two work in the garage."
Mercury wave to her and said, "Fine, let go Kuro, I need to help putting in new head lights, and put on the tail pipe."
AS father and son work together as they worked on a fixer upper as Mercury asked his son as he turn a turn a screwdriver, "So, how has it been with you lately? Find any girls you like?"
Kuro handed his dad a torque wrench and said, "Hardly, the ones I meet ether crazy, in over her head, a bitch that everyone don't like, and one was too happy." That last one was Anya as she to him was too happy about things it annoyed him as Mercury laugh at that and said, "You take a little more after your mother for looks and attitude, but-
Mercury throw a screwdriver at his son as he came at him fast but he stop it with ease with is finger to see the screwdriver was going to the side of his face, not at it as Mercury would not try to harm his son, as he went on saying, "-you got my talents."
Kuro toss the screwdriver in the tool box and said, "As what I've been doing, with everything going on, I've been doing some part time jobs as well getting pay for it."
AS Mercury was about to grab something until he felt a familiar thing, as he got out from under the car and look to see some lien.
Mercury look to his son and said, "Part time? Honest type job?" Mercury and Emerald gotten out the life of crime long ago, ever sense the death of their boss things fell part for them, as Emerald illusion semblance would be figure out as it may mess with a person mind, but not a digital image of a camera, and Mercury life of an assassin went out the window do to that his legs keep breaking down and it take a lot to fix it up.
Kuro look to his dad as he said, "Just stocking up thing on shelves." Kuro try to live an honest life as well, even taking up a part time a little bit after he join beacon, saving up his money and in hope to help out his parents as he get free food, a bed to sleep in, and the school does help supplies a small stock of dust for student and equipment for student with low income.
Mercury was about to hand the Lien back until Kuro said, "That's for you and mom. Oum knows you two need more than me."
"Kid you really are too kind for your own good." Mercury said as Kuro looked.
"Just to family." Kuro said as he knew this was the result of living the life of crime and giving it up. Low income and struggling to make ends meet. But ever since he got into New Beacon things have been looking up.
"Anyway you can tell us all about your time there during a meal." Emerald said holding some freshly cooked instant food.
'Thank Oum she used instant.' Mercury and Kuro thought lucky to be eating instant food today.
Kuro though smiled as in all honesty he missed home a lot.
(Scene Break team GARO)
The team were heading to where to meet Yang as Omiko soon noticed something. "What happened there?" Omiko asked as the rest of the team looked.
"Looks like a war happened there." Anya said as Eclipse saw.
"We better investigate real quick it might be a Horror." Eclipse said as she looked.
"Agreed." Anya said before Team Garo walked over to them. As they arrived they saw that it was like a war zone as there seemed to have been a big fight here.
"What happened here?" Rey asked as an officer looked.
"White Fang vs Black Claw these two groups have been at each other's necks for years already and it looks like the Black Claw will win." An officer said as he looked.
"Hopefully the Black Claw won't be another White Fang." Another said as he looked to his friend.
Gurren looked as he pointed with Zaruba. "No Horror so it's none of our concern." Zaruba said as Gurren looked.
"Let's go Aunt Yang is waiting for us." Gurren said as he looked to his team.
"Wait but shouldn't we help stop this little war between The White Fang and the Black Claw?" Anya asked as Rey looked.
"He has a point we can't intervene in human affairs only cut down Horrors." Rey said as he looked to his friends.
"Let's go." Omiko said as they walked away. Unaware to them Omiko looked back sensing a dark presence watching her as she looked and so only a crowded street, but when she looked closer she saw a young woman with a red mask and a dark version of a Makai Priestess uniform as she had a hood up. The crowd soon passed again showing the woman was now gone before Omiko looked and walked away.
Meanwhile upon a roof the kabuki masked woman watched seeing the entire exchange as she looked to them. The woman then ran off jumping from roof to roof to keep an eye on Team Garo without the Madou noticing her.
Team Garo were at a spot where Anya was told to meet her Aunt at. With the each teammate doing their own things as Gurren relax against a wall, Anya was drawing up a design for her weapon to put on her scythe.
Rey was doing some sword play with his twin short swords, as he wanted to keep his skill in top shape, as he maybe a rock band leader but he's a Makai knight as well.
Omiko is reading one of her books she brought along to help pass the time, waiting for Yang to show up.
As the sound of a motorcycle engine came to their ears, as they stop what they were doing for the moment as Gurren and Anya saw a familiar yellow bike coming down to the road and turning in where the team was at.
Bright yellow hair, and a robotic arm, and adventures outfit, it was Yang Xiao Long Vali. "Hey guys," Yang said to her nephew and niece.
"Hey Aunt/auntie Yang," Gurren and Anya said at the same time.
How are my favorite niece and nephew doing?" Yang greeted as she brought them into a hug.
"We're doing well." Anya said as she smiled.
"I am well." Gurren said as he tried to weave himself out of the hug.
"So this is Yang." Rey said as Yang looked.
"And who are your teammates?" Yang asked as she looked to Rey and Omiko.
"The name is Rey Schnee the Fanged Knight Zero and this is Silva." Rey said as Silva looked.
"Hello." Silva said as she looked to Yang.
"I am a Makai Priestess Omiko Byakushiki." Omiko said after closing her book.
"Wait did you say Schnee?" Yang asked as she looked.
"Yeah." Rey said as Yang smiled.
"So if your Ice Queens kid I guess that makes you Ice Prince." Yang joked as Rey looked.
"Not funny." Rey said as this may have not been Yang's bad puns but no one it Atlas or New Beacon had called him that.
"So Aunt Yang why did you need to see us." Gurren asked as Yang looked.
"Well after going to some sources I found out some leads on Blake being right here in Vale." Yang said as she looked to the team.
"Blake is here?" Anya asked as she was surprised.
"That's what I intend to find out." Yang said as she looked around. "Let's head to a café I can explain more there." Yang said as that made everyone nod.
(Later Café)
Everyone were at a café as everyone was enjoying some food. As Yang looked to them she finished her food. "Now then you guys heard of the Black Claw?" Yang as everyone nodded. "Well I heard Blake is one of their founding members and had challenged the White Fang at all there schemes." Yang said as she smiled. "Now I heard they are going to stop a White Fang heist at the Docks though it won't be until a big shipment of Dust from Atlas arrived at the end of the weekend and sense you guys are on break we can check it out." Yang said as Omiko looked.
I'm going to have to pass on that." Omiko said as she looked.
"How come?" Anya asked as she looked.
"Perhaps it has something to do with those bracelets and anklets." Eclipse said as Omiko looked.
"It's nothing." Omiko said before she got up and walked away.
"She's hiding something." Gurren said as Zaruba looked.
"I'll have to agree on you there, ever since we met her it felt like her Aura was highly restrained." Zaruba said as Yang looked.
'She's a lot like Blake Secretive, and a loner. I guess these guys are more similar to team RWBY', Yang thought, as she felt a bit sad as she did miss those days. "Give her some space, if she has a secret, she might tell you or not, but right now let try to focus on the shipment," Yang said getting the rest of the team.
Yang pull out a map of the shipment yard, the same that white Fang try to steal a shipment from years ago and security has change sense then but then there was the breach, the fall of beacon, and trying to repair all the damage that happen to it as well relocate new beacon.
"It seem it's easy to get in without problem," Gurren pointed out as Anya said, "Yea, and a lot of areas to take cover behind."
"So what the game plan, if you don't mind me asking," Rey asked as he looked at it but still didn't get it as Yang said, "Best bet is the white Fang would come through the Air to do a snatch, grab, and run deal, with the Black claw maybe doing an ambush themselves."
"So the question is, not how to get in but where to hid," Gurren got the idea if they were going to find Blake they would need to area to take cover behind as well.
"Got it in one," Yang said as everyone look to the map and Rey said, "So where is the shipment going to be at?"
Yang pointed it out near the center and said, "Right here."
Gurren pointed out as he said, "Not many places to hide behind as those spots maybe taken already."
"Roof top of the main building could be a good snipe position, I can stay there if need be," Anya said as Rey look to her and said, "You got your rifle already?"
Anya nodded and said, "Yea, but it not modified yet to attach it to Yaiba scythe yet, but I did make it fold up to carry in compacted mode."
Gurren nodded and said, "Okay that's your position, as for the rest of us, if we can't hid in shadows, then we must hide in plain sight."
Yang look to her nephew, "And how can we do that?"
Gurren pointed out, "These places doesn't just hold filled containers, but empty ones to load up products here in vale to ship to other places. We just need to find the few empty ones near the area, take hold in it, and we strike whenever we need to."
Yang patted his back as she said, "I knew you were one of my favorites." and Anya said, "Well not a team leader for nothing."
"Yeah though that still days away what are we supposed to do till then?" Rey asked before out of nowhere a young man jumped over him taking Rey's food and running off with cops chasing. "...He took my cream soda..." Rey said clearly displeased.
"Oh no." Silva said as that was the last thing on Rey you take.
"Nobody takes my cream soda!" Rey yelled before shooting up and giving chase to the boy to take back his cream soda. "Get back here you vagabond!" He yelled giving chase.
"Should we go after him?" Anya asked as she saw this.
"Yeah I think we should." Yang said as she saw this.
"Great more headaches." Gurren said as he got up with Yang and Anya to give chase to Rey.
As they gave chase they passed a corner as Rey was ahead. "Wait till I get my hands on the thieving piece of-" Rey began but didn't get to finish before bashing into an unknown person as both fell. Rey got up just as his friends arrived as he held his head. "Ow." Rey said as he held his head in pain.
"You ok?" Anya asked as she looked to Rey.
"Yeah." Rey said before noticing an empty can of cream soda. "Well there goes my soda." Rey said before Silva spoke.
"Um Rey." Silva said as Rey looked down and saw a boy with orange hair and green eyes as he looked.
"Hello." He said before Rey yelped and jumped off him.
"You ok?" He asked as he looked to the boy.
"Yes I am." The boy said as Anya looked.
"Um can you get up?" Anya asked as the boy then jumped up with ease.
"Yes I can." He said as he looked. "I must go I promised my friends and mentor we'd meet up nearby so goodbye." The boy said as his techno like combat uniform glowed and walked away.
"Ok... that was weird." Yang said as she swore she's seen this before.
(With Omiko)
Omiko walked to the book store as she wanted time alone. She looked at her bracelet as it had the Makai Symbol for seal as she knew why she had to wear these and knew exactly why she can never have any close or meaningful relationships. As she walked she soon stopped as she looked and saw the red masked female in the alley as she looked at Omiko.
"Makai Priestess Omiko Byakushiki my master has use of your semblance." The red masked woman said before a man walked out in similar robes but a yellow mask as he looked to her.
"Destructive force, powerful weapon." He said as the young man then drew two large pistols with blades at the end as he pointed them at Omiko as the woman drew a black Madou brush.
Omiko jump back as she throw her disk weapons, as the yellow mask man fired at them but missed as they moved in mid-air, and still came at them, as the woman in the red mask summon forth a barrier to block them as they bounce back.
Omiko caught her weapons as she spin around, and then drew her brush and fire a bolt at them but hit the ground as dust kick up in front of them.
The red mask lady blow away the dust with her power and saw Omiko on the run. The two looked at each other and nodded before they went after the Priestess.
Omiko keep running, until the yellow mask man fell from the sky and landed in front of her as he pull out his weapon and slash at her.
Back flip away as she held her disk weapon in one hand and her brush in the other. Throw the disk at the man as he slash it away, Omiko gotten a hold of her weapon with Makai energy line attach itself to it from her brush and she made come back at the man.
The man keep deflexed back many time but it keep coming back, as Omiko spin around and pull down on her brush with the disk following the same movement.
The man jump back to avoid it, soon the red mask lady came down behind Omiko as she about to attack from behind, until Omiko turn around fast and block the incoming hit.
Omiko kicked at the lady in the red mask, but she keep dodging or blocking them with ease.
Omiko whip her brush around as it was still connected to her disk weapon and send it at the lady.
The disk came flying at her but the red masked woman leaned back and avoided the attack as she then cartwheel away allowing her ally to come at Omiko with guns drawn and shooting. Omiko converted one of her disks into shield mode as she blocked the attack but the Priestess came at Omiko from above as she sent a bolt at Omiko.
Omiko avoided the attack as she saw she was in a bind. Her heart rate increased as she needed a way to win. "On lock undone should be safe." Omiko said before she retracted her disk. Omiko then reached for her bracelet as it then began to glow and grew in size before sliding off.
"Destructive force, chains loosened!" The gun wielder said as he saw this.
Omiko then focused as she needed to direct her power but she then pointed her arm and unleashed a burst of energy as the large beam hit a wall to an empty building destroying it. The two barely dodged as Omiko was shocked she missed as she saw the destruction her power caused even at a fraction of its power before she was assaulted with images of the past. A village was there before it was left a crater with her at the center as she began to hyperventilate as the past trauma assaulted her in full force.
That was when Gun shots were heard as three identical cat kabuki masked figures appeared and began fighting the two as the third went over to Omiko and hugged her trying to calm her down before her power goes out of control. Omiko quickly reached for the lone restraint ring and put it back on. "Retreat!" The red masked woman said as the yellow masked looked.
"Black shadow cat touched by the Makai Order no match." The yellow masked gun slinger said before the two left.
The two kabuki masked clones vanished as the real one tried to calm down Omiko who was having a panic attack at her Semblance powers destructive force.
"Calm down, calm down." The Kabuki masked woman said as she shush her and held her like a parent would their child.
"I killed, I destroyed my own village." Omiko breathed as she tried to calm down.
"It's ok that's in the past." The masked woman said as she held Omiko.
Omiko broke down for a bit as she remembered that day like it was yesterday, the day she awoken the most destructive Semblance in Remnant history. The Kabuki masked woman looked to Omiko as she knew what it was like to be responsible for death and destruction, the only difference was Omiko had done it at a much younger age. Once Omiko calmed down the masked woman looked to Omiko as she looked.
"Better?" The woman asked as she looked to Omiko.
"Y-yeah." Omiko said while wiping away some tears.
"Now then we should move, those two won't give you up so easily." The woman said as Omiko looked.
"Why?" Omiko asked as she looked.
"Trust me I've seen those type of people before." The woman said as she helped Omiko up.
"Where are we going?" Omiko asked as the woman looked.
"You'll see." The woman said as the two then left the alley.
(Scene Break an hour later Team GAR)
The team was looking for Omiko after hearing an explosion. Yang had left to set up for the event in two days involving the White Fang and the Black Claw as they soon saw that a battle had taken place here as Gurren pointed with Zaruba.
"A battle had definitely took place here and by the scene a priest and knight fought Omiko here before another intervened and helped Omiko." Zaruba said before Eclipse followed.
"Though a powerful yet destructive Semblance was unsealed here for a short moment before being revealed." Eclipse said as Anya looked.
"We need to find Omiko she might be hurt." Anya said before Silva spoke.
"I don't smell any blood, she's probably ok." Silva said as she looked.
"Yeah but she's still our teammate." Rey said as Gurren looked.
"Is there a trail Zaruba?" Gurren asked as he looked to his Madou Ring.
"No it seems whoever the assailants were took measures to ensure they wouldn't be tracked and the one who walked off with Omiko to the same precautions." Zaruba said as Gurren scowled.
Gurren took a breath, as he tried to think, after a moment he turn to his teammates and said, "We look for her, try to pick up any trace of her, even if its small or faint. Other than that, keep your guard up, to whatever was done here other people were involved, and to my guess up to no good. Stay sharp and watch your backs."
Gurren pull out his scroll and said, "As well call for anything, ether your found something or even sigh of you being follow. I do not want to take any chances."
"Got it," Anya said with Rey giving a two finger salute and said, "Okay."
"If we can't find her till the shipment comes… we go ahead with the mission," Gurren said as he didn't like it, there things that must be check out with the White Fang and the Black claw.
Anya understood what Gurren meant, as she didn't like it ether, but to what she was taught, the mission must come before personal feelings.
Hard to say with Rey but he got the idea, leaving a teammate behind wasn't the idea he had in his book but you got to do what you got to do.
Soon enough team GAR split up and in hope to find their missing teammate before the day of the shipment comes.
(Somewhere)
Omiko was lying down on a bed similar to what the nurse's office had for medical treatment, as she lay down with a wet cloth over her head and a thin white blanket cover her.
Omiko had no idea where she was at as she fainted or blackout on the way while being carrying by the lady wearing the Kabuki mask that hid her face.
"So you're awake." Came a voice as Omiko looked and saw the Kabuki masked figure as now that she got a closer look she saw the mask had a cat theme to it. Omiko looked as she saw the masked figure was going over some data at the moment as she was curios. "I bet you have many questions at the moment and I will answer most of them but answer me this, your Semblance your team doesn't know about it do they?" The masked figured asked as she looked to Omiko.
"N-no they don't." Omiko said as how could she tell her team she was a literal ticking time bomb.
"It's understandable that power you wield if not controlled properly could very well wipe Vale city off the face of Remnant." The woman said as Omiko looked.
"Who are you?" Omiko asked as the woman chuckled.
"Let's just say an old friend to RWBY and SSBR." The woman said as Omiko looked.
"Why did you bring me here?" Omiko asked as the woman looked.
"Simple to help you try and gain more mastery of your semblance, you can unleash it just fine but we want to learn how to draw it strength while it's still sealed. Once you're able to draw its seal strength then you'll be able to draw on more of its power with less seals with training of course." The masked figure said as Omiko looked shocked and honestly hopeful.
"You can help me?" Omiko asked as she looked to the masked figured with hope in her eyes.
"Yes and no I can help you with Aura control exercises but other than that how you control that semblance is up to you, but I think translating aura control to Semblance control is real easy." The masked figure said as Omiko nodded.
"Now the rest up we have work to do soon." The masked figure said as Omiko nodded before she noticed the symbol on the wall which was three claw marks in black accompanied by a gentle looking beast defending another.
"The Black Claw." Omiko said as she looked to the symbol.
(Scene Break New Beacon)
Team GAR hadn't found there teammate so after spending most of the day searching the team had given up and had hoped Omiko would show herself during the weekend but so far she had been a no show. Anya had gotten up and saw that Omiko's bed was still empty. Anya looked at it sadly before Eclipse spoke.
"Don't worry Gold Flower she will appear when she wants to be found." Eclipse said as Anya looked.
"And how would you know?" Anya asked as she looked to the Madou Ring.
"Call it a little faith." Eclipse said as she looked to Anya.
Anya smiled as she saw that Eclipse was trying to cheer her up. "Well then time to get up and continue the search." Anya said as she jumped out of bed to prepare for the day.
(Later in Vale)
"Omiko!" Anya called as Rey joined in.
"Hey Omiko where are you!?" Rey called as Gurren was being quiet.
"Gurren you're not helping." Anya said as Gurren looked.
"Yelling like a couple of crazy people searching blindly will only cause trouble." Gurren said as he looked around for Omiko.
"He's not wrong." Zaruba said as he looked.
"Yeah but we can't just look around to look for Omiko we might miss her." Anya said as she walked by.
"Hey any plan helps at this point." Rey said as he walked by.
"And I think calling for her will work wonders." The boy from yesterday said as he walked behind them catching the entire team off guard.
"Where did you come from?!" Anya called as she looked.
"Oh well my older sister sent me here with my team to hone my skills in the tournament and I must say it's an honor to meet the current Golden Knight." The boy said as Gurren looked.
"Who are you?" Gurren asked as he was skeptical.
"This must be the latest Madou Android from Atlas." Zaruba said as the boy bowed.
"Mato Polendina at your service Golden Knight, and Scorching Heat Knight." Mato said with a bow as he looked to the two Knights.
"Hey what about me?" Rey asked as Mat ignored him.
"Now then I you require assistance I will help after all in the words of my older sister I am combat ready." Mato said as he looked to his new friends.
Gurren understood and said, "We will appreciate your assistance then."
"I will do all I can to help you, golden knight," Mato said as he gave a bow.
Gurren gotten to talk about Omiko, to what she looks like and anything else he could think of. As while he does that, Rey folded his arms turn around him letting air out from his mouth as Anya look to him and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"I… just don't like the idea very much, sure he's a madou tool from the 'Order', but many things can go wrong with him," pointed out to Mato.
Anya wave her hand and said, "He's fine, just weird. I mean the story that mom told me about Penny, the Android before Mato, just seem out of place because she try to learn to act as a person, and beside he could be a very good friend."
Soon after she said that, Anya had a thought, as she smile a bit as she thought, 'Maybe this could be good as well, if he going to leave me behind then I'm going to do the same.'
"I have an idea," Anya said low to Rey as he lower himself to Anya and said, "What is it?"
Rey nodded as Anya whisper to him and said, "Okay… okay… (Smiles) not a bad idea."
With Gurren and Mato as the madou Android said, "Omiko, a cat Faunus with a black tail, Makai priestess with disk weapons, I understand."
Gurren nodded and said, "Good then we should-
"We'll leave it to you two then," Anya said as she and Rey walked off before Gurren could say anything.
Gurren raise an eyebrow and question, "Why did they do that?"
"I believe the term is, being dump on," Mato said as he had a dictionary in his hands as he pull it out form somewhere.
Gurren sighed as he turn to his partner for the time being and said, "For what reason they did it form, hope they have a good excuse for it. Let's move out."
Mato close the book and said, "Understand."
(Black claw)
Omiko was breathing slowly, as sweat drop down from her face and her hands as she try to unleash her power little at a time through the seals, but it was no easy task.
The lady in the Kabuki is watching over her training, as she saw Omiko made small improvements, but not a lot to take a seal off.
From the shadow another person wearing a similar mask but to paint drawn on it make it like an animal face to this one looked like a Puma.
"Ma'am." The Puma masked figure said as the kabuki masked woman looked.
"Report." Blake said before Puma nodded.
"The White Fang is on the move there heading to the docks to steal a large shipment dust from Atlas." The Puma said as he looked to Blake. When Omiko looked to him she saw his uniform was other than the mask was the white Fang Uniform but with the color scheme reversed and holding a more Feudal or Edo type look.
"Is there any confirmation on the artifacts they have?" Blake asked as the Puma masked figure turned his head.
"No Ma'am but if they steal this shipment they will have a means to power and fuel there weapons for a long time." Puma said as Kabuki nodded.
"Very well then prepare our men we will ambush them and keep them away from the shipment until authorities arrive, capture as many of them as we can try and convert them to our cause and if it fails turn them over to the police." Kabuki said as Puma nodded.
"Very well ma'am." Puma said as Kabuki nodded.
"Dismissed." Kabuki said as Puma nodded and left. Once Puma was gone Kabuki looked to Omiko as she was catching her breath. "I think its best you leave back to New Beacon things are going to get messy soon and I don't want you caught in the crossfire." Kabuki said as Omiko looked.
"But..." Omiko began as Kabuki looked. "Wait let me help!" Omiko called as Kabuki looked.
"Why?" Kabuki asked as she looked to the Makai Priestess.
"Because it's my duty to fight as one who protects and a lot of people might get hurt if I can help them and keep them from getting hurt then... maybe I can actually be something other than... a living bomb." Omiko said as Kabuki looked.
"Very well but you have to do what I say otherwise you might get hurt." Kabuki said as Omiko of course nodded. "Very well." Kabuki said as she looked to Omiko. "Get cleaned up by night we will face the White Fang." Kabuki said before leaving Omiko to get cleaned up.
(Scene Break that afternoon Rey and Anya)
Rey and Anya were sitting in a hard rock restaurant as Rey was eating a half rack of baby back ribs with a side if fries while Anya was enjoying a large burger as they ate. "Do you think there doing ok?" Rey asked after swallowing the food in his mouth.
"Probably." Anya said as Eclipse looked.
"Careful not to eat too much you might get fat." Eclipse said as Anya looked.
"I ate cookies almost every chance I get and you are complaining about weight over a burger." Anya said to her Madou Ring as the music played as it showed the songs playing from wildly popular bands.
"Wonder when they are going to play one of my songs?" Rey asked as he wondered when Zero Black Blood would get to a certain level of popularity to hear their songs from places like this.
That was when the music began to distort as people looked confused before the TV showing the music video showed technical difficulties as the song was playing as an instrumental as Rey looked and saw it was Zero Black Blood. That was when a waiter showed up as she wanted to check on things before Rey looked.
"Hey is there something wrong with the music?" Rey asked as they shut it off so it doesn't disturb the patrons.
"Yeah sorry someone messed with a wire and now we have to replace it." The woman said as Rey looked.
"You know I'm the lead singer of Zero Black Blood and this song is on one of our albums." Rey said as the woman was wide eyed.
"I thought you looked familiar."
"Yeah so I figured sense you and this place gave us such great meal how about I do a bit of a concert here using the song your trying to play at least until you get the spare?" Rey as the woman looked.
"I'll have to check to the manager first but if you do that it will be a great help." The woman said as she then left.
"You're doing this to lessen our bill aren't you?" Anya asked as she looked.
"Hey why would I need to lessen the build no offense but I'm kind of rich so I can afford the bill." Rey said as Anya smiled.
(Later)
The Manager approved it as luckily they had a stage already set up but sense Zero Black Blood wasn't completely here Rey had to do it like karaoke. "Alright people I'm Rey and this is Bright Hope." Rey said before the sung played.
(Yes it is that song from Garo Yami wo terasu no mono because let's face it, was awesome)
The song started as Rey sang to it as it wasn't long before people were enjoying it as they ate as it was basically dinner and a show. "He's good." Eclipse said as Anya smiled.
"I know." Anya said as she listened to Rey's song. After all it was her favorite from his album.
(Scene Break that Gurren and Mato)
"So Gurren your mother and father were friends with my sister correct?" Mato asked as he walked with Gurren.
"Yes." Gurren said as he kept his eyes peeled for the familiar Faunus.
"So why are we looking for Omiko?" Mato asked as he followed Gurren which caused Gurren to stop.
"She's hiding something, something that could ruin our team dynamic if she keeps it bottled up for too long." Gurren said as Mato looked.
"She's a Faunus correct?" Mato asked as Gurren nodded. "Is she with the White Fang?" He asked as he looked.
"No." Gurren said as before Mato could ask Gurren beat him to it. "Nor is she with the Black Claw." Gurren said as Mato was going to ask again but Gurren once again cut him off. "And she's not a man." Gurren said as Mato looked.
"But I wasn't going to ask that question, what I was going to ask was is she a Human Madou Tool?" Mato asked as he looked to Gurren.
"I don't know." Gurren said before he began to walk once more.
"Hey wait up!" Mato called as she did a light jog to catch up to Gurren.
(Later that night Docks)
The crate was unloaded as Omiko was on the roof with Kabuki as Kabuki had a comm. link to her ear. "Watch for any signs of movement but stay hidden, we can't alert them to our presence." Kabuki said as she got confirmation from her team. "What's the plan?" Omiko asked as Kabuki looked.
"We wait, we watch, and I need by we intervene and strike." Kabuki said as Omiko could understand that. That was when Kabuki got a communication from one of her scouts. "What is it Fox?" Kabuki asked as she looked.
(With Fox)
"We have movement a Huntress and four others what are your orders?" Fox whispered as he stayed hidden and watched them from a distance.
(Kabuki and Omiko)
"Do not intervene with them they can be allies if we play our cards right they might help us stop the White Fang." Kabuki said as Fox nodded.
"Yes ma'am." Fox said before cutting comm. links.
"What happened?" Omiko asked as she looked.
"I believe your friends have arrived here looking for someone." Kabuki said as she stayed hidden.
"I... must have troubled them." Omiko said as Kabuki was about to try and cheer her up before they heard the engine of a military grade transport ship as it flew over the docks before landing. The side opened revealing the White Fang members as they walked out. But something was different their guns were cutting edge but didn't look like came from any known Kingdom. They were armed with weapons that could pass for Madou Tools as they began carrying out the work.
(On the ground)
"Attach the cables and start loading up the crates we'll only get one shot at this so we have to make it count." The White Fang team leader said as the White Fang soldiers carried out the task.
(With Omiko and Kabuki)
"Stay hidden don't attack openly otherwise we'll scare them off, look for the ones who don't want to be here, the young and inexperienced, and when they are caught in the act to incriminate them then we strike." Blake said to the comm. links as she waited for the White Fang to do what they came to do. "We need to capture a few though find out why the White Fang are trying their hand at this heist for a second time." Kabuki said as Omiko looked.
"Something doesn't feel right, if they tried a heist like this before why try again? And those weapons there like Madou Tools mixed with Dust and Dust based weapons." Omiko said as the White Fang were doing their job.
"Do you recognize them?" Kabuki asked as she looked to Omiko.
"No I've studied many types of Madou Tools even the forbidden ones and those don't match any I have seen before." Omiko said as soon a new voice called out.
"Hurry up we don't have time to waist." Came a new voice as from the airship Lord Kiba walked out as he looked to the group.
(With the White Fang)
"You each know what we came here for now hurry up and don't try my patience." Lord Kiba said as he looked to the groups.
"Of course Lord Kiba." The White Fang team leader said as he barked orders to his subordinates.
That was when two more figures appeared from the ship as they were the ones who had attacked Omiko before. "Any news of the living explosion and the Sacred Gate from the Empress?" Lord Kiba asked as the Red masked woman looked.
"No Wrath her lordship has not delivered any information of our targets through her Voice yet." The Red masked figure said as Lord Kiba looked.
"Then we must continue the search after we retrieve what we came here for Servant 1." Lord Kiba said to the Red Masked woman nodded.
"Shadows warriors of shadows await to strike." the yellow masked gun slinger said as Lord Kiba looked.
"Servant 2 says that we should expect an ambush." Servant 1 said as she looked to her fellow hand.
"Seems you two didn't earn the rank of Empress Hands for nothing." Lord Kiba chuckled as Servant 2's predictions were always spot on.
"Golden Adversary shall appear to duel the Dark eternal nemesis." Servant 2 said Lord Kiba looked and under his mask smirked.
"So the Golden Knight shall appear to battle his eternal enemy." Lord Kiba said with a smirk as he knew this mission wasn't for nothing.
(With Kabuki and Omiko)
"Did you get everything they said?" Kabuki asked one of her soldiers as she got a yes of confirmation. "Then we strike now!" Kabuki ordered as now was the time to stop them and their plan.
The Black Claw came forth capturing few right off the back by knocking them out then dragging them away as other came forth and battle against the older White Fang members.
Kiba look to the fight as he see the white Fang doing their job as he said, "Keep going, and if any get near, take care of them." looking at his two allies the Empress Hands, as they nodded, and stood ready.
The White Fang open fired on the Black claw, but with the skills they were taught and all the training they done, avoided the incoming fire.
"Switch to blast shot," The white Fang member said to his co-worker as they nodded as they flip a switch that light up the gun a dark green color before firing as a bolt of energy came forth and exploded on impacted, as a few black claw member got caught in it, as one scream out.
As members of team GARO and Mato looked through the holes of the containers at the weapon as Omiko said, "Those are Madou Dust weapon, I know that type of power anywhere." Kabuki nodded as she understood what they were up against now as she call out on her com, "Avoid their fire, and take them from range." "Roger that!"
With Gurren as he saw Black Claw went on the defensive as they became out match fast and the weapon they have would only do so much, as he says, "It seems they do have some madou dust weapon, it's time we even the odds."
Mato who stood behind him nodded and said, "Ready to engage."
Anya, lying down on a nearby rooftop watching the action through her scope, as she cock her rifle back, as now she was arm and ready.
In the other containers as Rey nodded and pull out his two short swords, and Yang smile as she lock and load.
Yang walk up to the container doors as she said, "Time for a Yang!" Doing a pun before blasting the doors off.
As the white Fang stop what they were doing and turn to what that was as a few only meet with a steel door to their faces.
In the other, the doors seem to have been punch off as the door fell on top of more White Fang members, standing in the opening was Mato with a certain change to him.
Mato's arms and legs were transformed into a more machine like for as there was blades coming out of the arms as Mato grinded the blades against each other creating sparks. "Ready to engage." Mato said as he was battle ready. Mato then charged at his opponents before he began to fight his way through.
Gurren looked around and saw White Fang members surrounding him as he then vanished in a flash as he then appeared between them knocking them down and beating them up. Gurren avoided using his sword knowing the effects Soul Metal can have when tasting human or Faunus blood. Gurren then with his Garo Bullet that was set with non-lethal rounds fired at a White Fang Member as he spun the gun before pointing it again and firing.
"Interesting." Lord Kiba said as he looked to Gurren.
"The Scorching Heat battles from afar." Servant 2 said as he pulled out his guns.
Lord Kiba looked before he decided on a plan. "Change of plans you two deal with the Makai Knight and the Makai Priestess, the Golden Knight is mine." Lord Kiba said as he walked torts Garo while drawing his own soul metal sword.
"Ok then Servant 2 you handle rock band and I'll handle little miss destructive force." Servant 1 said as Servant 2 nodded and left to deal with them.
As Rey battled his way through the White Fang he made sure to avoid his blade cutting them as he needed to hold back on them. As Rey fought his way through White Fang Silva soon smelled it a she responded. "Rey duck." Silva called before he was nearly shot by Soul Metal bullets.
Rey looked and saw Servant 2 there as he looked to Rey behind his yellow mask. "The Fanged Knight shall face the Dark Knight of the Hunt." Servant 2 said as Rey was confused.
"He's saying he's also a Makai Knight or more like a Dark Knight." Silva said as she though they were extinct after the Makai Wars.
"Well then buddy if you want a fight you have one." Rey said as he took a battle stance. Servant 2 also took a battle stance as he looked torts Rey with a glare.
Rey was the first to act as he charged at Servant 2, the he Empress's hand began to fire at Rey but Rey weaved side to side to avoid the attack before slashing at Servant 2. Servant 2 blocked with his guns bayonets as he kicked Rey knocking him back a bit before Servant two switch his guns to a more knife like hold and began slashing at Rey. Rey leaned back and avoided the knifes as he soon got cut by one as he saw his Madou Robes now had a slash in them with blood seeping put.
"The Blade of Artemis has tasted the blood of Zero it thirsts for more." Servant 2 said as Rey looked.
'I can't hold back against this weirdo if he truly is a Dark Knight then I might be in for a fight.' Rey thought as he took a more ready battle stance. Servant 2 took a ready stance before charging at Rey while firing at him. Rey blocked the attack and deflected the positon of the gun as every time Servant 2 tried to fire Rey would force the gun away to avoid getting shot. As they fought they soon clashed blades attempting to overpower the other as Rey glared at Servant 2. 'This guy is tougher then he looks.' Rey thought as he saw this.
(With Omiko)
Omiko was going on the defensive as she kept the casualties and injured to a minimum as she knew there was no Horror but what this Lord Kiba had talked about he sounded like the bigger threat was beyond their reach. She had to grab one of them and question them to find out what they knew, who was there leader, and why they were attempting to bring the Messiah into this world.
Omiko then felt it before dodging an attack as Omiko looked and saw a Tonfa gun had nearly hit her as she looked and saw Servant 1. "Hello Force of Destruction." Servant 1 said as Omiko physically flinched at that a she looked to Servant 1.
Omiko took out her disk as she took a battle stance before she threw them at Servant 1 who blocked the disks redirected the attack with her Tonfa but the weapons returned like a boomerang as Servant 1 ducked under the attack. Omiko then caught her weapons as he ran torts Servant 1 and began striking at her. But Servant 1 blocked the attacks as she used her tonfa gun to stop the attack and strike back showing she had training in this style of combat. Omiko tried to get a good attack in but Servant 1 was tough as Omiko knew she might have to use her power but she didn't know if she could.
(With Gurren)
Gurren knocked out the last of the White Fang as he then sensed something, something dark and evil. Gurren had his hand on the Garoken as it was sheathed as he was ready to draw the weapon if need be. That was when he acted as from out of nowhere Lord Kiba struck as he slashed down upon the spot Gurren was at as Gurren avoided the attack.
"It seems your reaction time is no joke Golden Knight Garo." Lord Kiba said as he looked to Gurren.
Gurren drew his Garoken and took a battle stance as he knew he was in for a fight. "No need for such hostility Golden Knight we could be allies and with the coming dark times allies would be most useful." Lord Kiba said as Gurren glared.
"Who are you?" Gurren asked as Lord Kiba looked.
"In what your people call the bad lands I went by many names, but few remained prominent, Kiba, Lord Kiba, the Empress' Wrath, the Empress' apprentice, and above all else Dark Knight Kiba." Lord Kiba said as Gurren looked.
"I never heard of any Empress." Gurren said as this was a first for him.
"It does not surprise me, ever since the Makai Wars we had gone into hiding, but now we're returning you can be sure of that." Lord Kiba said as Gurren looked.
"Then I cannot allow you to carry on your missions here Kiba." Gurren said as Lord Kiba chuckled.
"You can try." Lord Kiba said before attacking as Gurren saw hew as fast and quickly blocked the sword attack Gurren saw his sword was strange as it had a slot to insert a Dust Cartridge as the blade itself seemed to change and gain the power of the individual dust inserted. Gurren leaned back avoiding a slash as Gurren then slashed at Kiba with his Garoken as the Dark Knight then blocked the attack with ease.
The two begin to battle against each other the fight between the white Fang and Black claw still went on as it seem the Black Claw were being push back, Mato came in with his change fist as he bash at the white fang and slash at their weapons making them useless.
"Direct your attack at the kid," The leader given the order to the others as they nodded and aim there weapon at Mato.
As Mato hit another white Fang member out, his attention turn to the firing squad of the White Fang as they took aim and fire at will.
Mato put up his arms in a defensive form as dust bullets and Makai blast came raining down on him as the dust around surround the area.
The white Fang halted there fire and waited for the dust to clear, but soon the sound of metal shifting and a glow of energy came forth from the smog of dust and then blow it away.
Standing in place that really freak them out as it was Mato holding a BFG (Big Fucking Gun), with Mato looking at them as he said, "Lock on!"
The white fang member looked at each other before running like hell as Mato said, "Fire!" a huge beam of energy came forth as it blast some white Fang members away, and also destroy one of the transport as it blew up.
Mato confirm his hit, as he put his free hand inside the barrel of his weapon, and soon it came apart forming back into his fist bladed weapons and said, "Continue the mission."
Yang was having a bit of a blast herself as she is in the air and rain down hell upon the White Fang as they ran like hell away from the crazy blonde lady white those who think could take her try to come at her.
As Yang landed meet with those White Fang members with weapons in hand as they try to strike her, Yang gave them the One-Two Shot hit punch.
The White Fang rush her trying to get the upper hand, but it seem died fast as a blur came at them knocking them away and destroying some of their weapon, copies and the original kabuki stood in place and soon the copies vanish as Kabuki pulled out her weapon and started to shot at them.
As Yang punch another one out, to the corner of her eyes as she turn to see the new person that came down and help, and was a bit shock to see the weapon she was holding and the mask she wore and knew who she was.
AS the fighting in their area died down a bit, the kabuki put away her weapon inside the cloak, as she hear rushing step coming at her to see a familiar Blonde, Yang coming at her.
Kabuki quickly knew what was next but quickly backed away as Yang looked. "Blake." Yang called as she knew Blake was under that mask.
"We have more important things to do then catch up." Kabuki said as she then jumped after a White Fang and knocked him out before going after more.
"Wait Blake!" Yang called but it was too late Kabuki or Blake was back in the fray.
(With Gurren)
Gurren fired at Lord Kiba as the masked figure deflected the attacks with ease with his sword before Gurren charged at Lord Kiba before pushing him back with all his might before Kabuki appeared. "Who are you, why are you supporting the White Fang?" Kabuki called as she looked to Kiba.
"Its quiet simple really I'm giving the White Fang a chance to be in a new world order, my master had specifically told me to gain the assistance of the White Fang so here we are." Kiba said as he looked to his the two. It was then that Rey came flying in, in a spin as he quickly got up and glared at Servant 2 as the young man held his two guns.
"Looks like we have no choice fearless leader and with them being Dark Knights from the Dark Ones we have to go all out." Rey said as Gurren looked.
"For once I agree with you." Gurren said as Servant 2 attempted to attack before he was shot at from a distance.
"Seems once again your prophecy was spot on." Kiba said as Servant 2 nodded.
Gurren glared as Rey saw Anya was giving them cover to summon there armors. Gurren raised his sword skyward as did Rey with his two short swords before they cut energy circles above them thus summoning there armor. Now Garo and Zero stood as they were ready to take down these Dark Ones and defend the Sacred Gate.
Lord Kiba scoffed before he looked to Servant 2 and nodded as they were ready. Lord Kiba ripped off his amulet as the mouth section of his mask opened showing a human mouth that was hard to make out as it was shadowed by the mask. Kiba then blew on his amulet causing it to glow before by its chain he swung it summoned a red circle above him that had smaller ones inside from the multiple spins.
Servant two raised one of his guns skyward while he pointed the other one in front of him. The Empress hand then spun around creating two summoning circles one around him and one above him though it did not open. With his gun still skyward he pulled the trigger shooting a bullet into the circle opening it into a portal as the circle around him opened a well. Once both circles were opened they released armor round the two as now they took a new form.
Lord Kiba was showing why he was called "Kiba," as his armor was like an evil parody of Garo as the soulless white eyes an dull gold fang that were accompanied by a tattered cape and an evil Garoken as Kiba was covered in red flames. With a roar Kiba banished to flames in burst of energy as he glared at his mortal enemy. "A Darkness to eclipse the light." Kiba said as this as him, the Dark Knight who had begun the dark order all those centuries ago, Kiba.
Kiba walked forward as his Makai Symbol appeared behind him as he glared at the light that had been its enemy from time immortal.
KIBA
Next to him was a new knight as he had dark gray armor with light gray highlights, a red cape with the top part acting like a scarf, and his revolvers adapted new look. The barrels were longer and sleeker with bayonets that were sharp and long as short swords. His helmet was the standard wolf with dark crimson eyes and on his revolvers and belt was the symbol of an arrow tip. This was Knight of the Hunt Artemis as he too walked torts the two knights as his Makai Symbol appeared behind him.
ARTEMIS
"This can't be good." Silva said as Zaruba saw this.
"Gurren we need to run." Zaruba said as Garo looked.
"Why?" Garo asked as Zaruba spoke.
"This is Kiba the Knight that started the Umbra Order centuries ago it's not the same knight but he is powerful add the fact that it's been an enemy and antithesis to Garo accompanied by your lack of power the last Garo wo faced and defeated Kiba had you're at a big disadvantage." Zaruba said as Garo took his battle stance.
"I won't let him get away with his schemes I'm going to fight." Garo said before charging at Kiba.
"Then I'll take care of gun boy!" Zero called as he went after his desired opponent.
Garo and Zero charged at them as Kiba snooted a bit as he drew his weapon as Garo came at him and their weapon clash against each other.
Zero ran at Artemis, as the dark knight aim his weapons at Zero and fire.
Zero using his semblance of Glyphs as they appeared around both knights, as zero step on one and made him zoom around dodging the incoming fire.
Artemis keep trying to shoot him but Zero move fast while he was on his Glyphs soon doing a slash and dash move.
Slashing at Artemis, his armor did take the blows but he knew he could not take too much or he would be in trouble, as going from gun to blade mode on his weapon as blades themselves sprang out, and then jump into the air to dodge the next slash attack, as they trip zero rhythm of attack
Zero turn around and meet with a slash from Artemis, as the dark knight was going to attack again, zero parry and counter against the evil knight.
Garo and Kiba keep clashing their swords at each other until they gotten into a dead lock as Garo and Kiba stair down each other as Kiba taught, "Is this all the might the great Golden knight has?"
"What?" Garo said as Kiba using his strength and shove off Garo and slash his sword at him at he flew back with a cry of pain.
"I was hoping a real challenge, but you're not the one to give it," Kiba said as he trail off and look off into the distant and spotted Anya as she keep her sniping position as Kiba said, "I wonder what the little woman knight can give me."
Garo lifted up at Kiba not liking what he is saying as Kiba went on to say, "I'm sure if she doesn't give me a challenge, maybe she can give an overwhelming pleasure, now would that be nice?"
Garo growl as he stood up and using his semblance as he gave a battle cry.
Garo appeared behind Kiba but Kiba saw it coming and blocked the attack. Garo vanished again only to appear at Kiba's side as Kiba blocked each attack with ease. Kiba then reached out his hand and grabbed Garo by the neck just as he appeared before throwing him to the side as Garo hit a crate making a dent in it.
"Pathetic." Kiba said as he stalked torts Garo.
"What are you?" Garo growled as he used his sword to get back up but stumbled a bit.
Kiba smirked as he looked to Garo. "I am the Empress's Wrath her most powerful Dark Knight and she sent me to Vale to carry out her will and find the Sacred Gate." Kiba said as he then pointed his sword at Garo's neck. "She considered you and her sister a threat but why be cut down like this Golden Knight?" Kiba asked as he looked to Garo.
"What do you mean?" Garo asked as he slashed the sword away as he continued his sword fight.
"Simple Golden Knight." Kiba began as he parried the sword strikes. "You and I are among the few standing at the tipping point of a new world order, so I ask you join me and together we can change the world." Kiba said as Garo then got into a deadlock as Garo glared.
Garo's silver eyes began to glow as he glared at Kiba as he gained more power. "NEVER!" Garo roared before forcing Kiba away and slashing at his chest as Kiba held his chest and saw the strike.
"Hmm well you will see, there is darkness within you I can sense it but if you will not join me perhaps the Scorching Heat Knight will, after all my master only needs one Silver Eyed Warrior." Kiba said before his body became aflame in a dark crimson flame. "You don't understand what you are dealing with Golden Knight." Kiba said before he charged power and with a swing of his sword a wave of energy went flying at them destroying all in its bath. Garo was hit by it but luckily his armor protected him, as the White Fang and Black Claw quickly got out of the way.
Zero was hit by it as well as Artemis jumped over it and fired at Zero at his insignia knocking his armor off. Anya who was keeping her Sniping position fired at Kiba and Artemis to keep them off her brother and Rey as they were down.
Omiko meanwhile was fighting Servant 1 as the two priests were powerful but with much of Omiko's power still restricted by the limiters she had to be careful. Omiko slashed at Servant 1 with her disks while the Empress hand blocked the attack with her Tonfa which then sprouted a blade which she used to slash at Omiko's check making a cut on it drawing blood. "The Empress wishes for your power to be by her side Makai Priestess, join her or die." Servant 1 said as Omiko glared at the red masked woman.
"And who is this Empress you are all so fond of?" Omiko asked as she knew none of the Kingdoms had formed a monarchy like Empire.
"Come with me and you might meet her." Servant 1 said as Omiko then threw her disk at Servant 1 but the red masked woman blocked only to be hit in her mask cracking it by a magic bolt as Servant One was shocked.
"Not interested." Omiko said as Servant 1 glared.
"Then you may die Force of Destruction." Servant 1 said before her second Tonfa sprouted a blade as well.
Omiko duck away from a slash from the tonfa blade, as Servant 1 try to run her weapon through the priestess, but Omiko keep up with the attacks, as using her disk as shields and then pointed out her brush and send a bolt as the Red mask woman.
Dodging it as the Red mask woman flip one Tonfa around in gun mode and fire at her, with Omiko has her Disk protecting her from them as she put a line one a disk she was holding and then twirl around as the Disk came flying around the shield and at Servant 1 and hitting the gun barrel of the Tonfa, jamming it.
"Force of Destruction bitch will pay," Servant 1 said as now she going to take it a little more personal.
Yang and Blake keep trying to push back and knock out any White Fang member that are still around, but they keep witnessing the fights between the enemies and team Garo and it wasn't looking good for the gold team as Yang said, "They are going to need some help."
"We need to stop them from getting the cargo as well or they could do serious damage in the near future," Blake said behind her kabuki mask as Mato came around as he said, "I'll shale lean my assist keeping the shipment container in place."
Yang look to the android and said, "See that you do."
Mato nodded and soon enough Blake and Yang went out to help the others.
As one member of the white fang was getting tired of this and wanted to get the shipment out of here, but without anyone to help, only a few could watch over it until they could get it out, and soon the white fang member went into one of the Transports and bring something out.
From the Fall of Beacon the White Fang try to keep as many military tech as they could even some mechs they still had on hand, as the white Fang got in the one they brought, start it out and brought it out.
Heavy step came out to show a Paladin mech with a full arsenal, as it activate scatter rock as they blast out all around hitting some of the Black claw member and dumb enough to hit their own white Fang members as well.
Mato saw the Mech as well the few white Fang around with their weapon lock and loaded still, as Mato, unlike Penny does not need a Makai priest to go into a combat mode, as if the threat level is high enough he can override the safety protocols as he said, "Combat level 5, threat Mech, combat mode active."
Mato body glow and armor bits came forth incasing him in a dark samurai armor.
MADOU TOOL MATO
Madou Tool Mato fist change to the bladed fist as he ran at all the white Fang member that stood before him as they open fired on him, could not penetrate the armor as they got hit around.
The Mech came walking up to the Mato in combat mode as the White Fang member inside got a lock on him as he said, "Time to turn you into scrap metal, freak."
Flipping up a cover for a button and hit it as ton of missiles came at Mato.
Seeing them coming at him, as Mato combine his fist weapon into a B.F.G, as it change from cannon to assault machine gun as he took aim and fire at them with accurate shot making them explode before they reach their targets.
The White fang member inside gritted his teeth as now he going to do this fight up front and personal.
Charging at the Madou Tool Android ad Mato saw it was doing, changing his weapon back and into fist mode and charged at the Mech as well.
The two sent a punch as the fists collided creating a shockwave of force as the Paladins arm couldn't take the force and was blown clean off. Mato then launched some wires at the mechanism before it wrapped around its legs restraining it and causing it to trip.
Mato then jumped onto its face before ripping off the cockpit and pulling the pilot out before throwing him to the ground. Black Claw members grabbed him as they soon tied him up.
(Back with Gurren)
Gurren tried to get up as his armor had disengaged as he glared at the Dark Knight. "You're out of your league Golden Knight so surrender and face death with honor." Kiba said before he was fired at by Anya. "She is beginning to irk me." Kiba said but before he could attack Artemis stopped him. Artemis then pointed to the distance as authorities were almost here. "Well Golden Knight seems like it's your lucky day." Kiba said calling off his armor.
"Grab what you are able and leave we don't have enough time to keep wasting!" Lord Kiba ordered as two more gunships appeared and sent a magnet cable at the smaller crates of Dust and left as the White Fang left.
"Black Claw vanish!" Kabuki/Blake ordered as the White Fang nodded and headed to the shadows.
"Blake wait!" Yang called as Kabuki stopped. "Don't keep running and hiding I know you want to defeat the White Fang but... you have to let go of the past." Yang said as Kabuki looked.
"I can't let go." Kabuki said before Yang tried to grab her but when she did Kabuki was gone after leaving a clone behind.
When the Black claw and White Fang vanish, Anya from the roof top wrap everything up and put her rifle in compacted mode before jumping off and running to everyone else.
Gurren use his sword as leverage to pull himself up, until he offered a hand to him, as he look up to see Rey giving it.
Reach up and grabbing it as Rey help lift Gurren to him feet and help keep standing as he said, "You took a beating."
Gurren grunted and said, "Yea… but it everyone okay?"
Anya came over and said, "Hey."
Rey looked to her and said, "Well she is, and…" Trailing off as soon enough Omiko was walking over to her team look down in a little bit of shame as she was about to say something until Anya came up and hug her as she said, "Omiko! We were worry about you."
Omiko is surprise by this, even after what she did a few days ago, Anya let go of her and said, "Don't run away like that again."
Yang walked over sad as she finally found her teammate and best friend only to vanish once again.
Gurren look over and said, "Aunt Yang, You alright?"
Yang took a moment before sighed and said, "I should be asking you that." Seeing how badly Gurren was beat up by that Dark knight like he went a rounds with 3 Ursa hybrids, as Gurren maybe strong but even he would have trouble with that much.
After a moment as Omiko step in front of her team leader with her hand front of her, and her head down, as Gurren looked to her for a moment and said, "Omiko."
She nodded and waited a bit for Gurren scolding speech but just says, "Good to have you back." Omiko lifted her head to him as he said, "We can talk about why you suddenly vanish after we get back to beacon."
"Yea, its pass your guys bed time and I think Ruby would be mad at me for letting her kids get in trouble with the authorities," Yang said to the team as Gurren nodded and about to call out to Mato, but when look for him, he didn't see him in site, he can only guess is he had to return to his owner, as it wasn't his business what the Android would go, but he got to admit it was nice working with him and he said, "Let's go."
Team GARO and Yang getting out of their before the police show up, as standing high up on the containers as he look down at the group is Mato in civilian mode and said, "It was a great honor working with Golden knight, we shall see each other again in the near future."
Mato then jumped away no doubt to regroup with his friends and allies as no doubt they were worried about him mostly there mentor.
(With Glynda)
Glynda was alone in her office as she knew this was a stressful job but she had saw the whole fight through a set of carefully placed camera's and she as shocked to see what she saw. The Dark Knight Kiba has reappeared and most of all referred to himself as the Wrath while the other two referred to themselves as the hands. She knew what this meant as she soon got a message from her operative as she opened it.
"There back." It said as Glynda then closed it.
"Oum help us all, if the Umbra Order is back then no doubt the Umbra Empire has also returned." Glynda said a she knew the Senate had to be made aware of this fast. Luckily the Watchdogs no doubt had received and are forwarding the information as if the Umbra Empire truly is back then it could begin a second great war. "Any divine being out here I beg you do not allow a second Makai War to surface." Glynda said as she knew that the world was barely able to recover from the last one.
