(Start)
In the headmistress tower Ironwood was raging as Ruby counted down till he calmed down. "They were here Glynda we nearly got tricked by the same tactic again!" Ironwood yelled as he slammed his hand on the table.
"We're well aware of that but launching an army won't do us good sense the Vale council limited what your armed forces can do here after 20 years ago." Ruby said trying to be calm but Ironwood was clearly letting his emotions drive him.
"I know but we can't just sit around and do what Ozpin did 20 years ago." James said as Ruby nodded.
"We know but the Virus was downloaded directly to the system we need to think for a minute." Ruby said as Glynda looked as both could tell this wasn't adding up why repeat what Cinder and Flare did years ago.
"Once Gurren gets here we can hear his part of the story." Glynda said as she rubbed her temples no doubt frustrated.
The elevator 'Ding' and the doors open as Gurren step out and said, "Forgive me being late, I had to ride the elevator with a teacher and their child… that push all the buttons." Sounded annoyed at that.
Glynda as she sighed and said, "Why do you step up, bring your kids to work day, Ms. Rose?"
Ruby looked a bit nerves and said, "I thought it would be a good idea for teacher to be close to their kids, and let the little one to see what beacon is all about, he-he."
Glynda sighed at her, as she turn to Gurren and she was thankful that he got somewhat his personality from his father and not his mother, and started out by asking him, "How are you feeling today Mr. Saejima?"
"Feeling well, thank you for asking," Gurren said as Ironwood came up to him as he said, "I feel it's appropriate to let you know that what you did last night were honorable, as a huntsman and/or a knight for your case. You recognized a threat and you took action accordingly, and I know you did the best you could."
"Thank you sir, but the person I face was human as fair me or Zaruba can tell, and being where we were, I couldn't go full force ether," Gurren said being clear to his actions as well as Glynda nodded and Ruby just smile at her son for his carefulness.
Ironwood understood, as he been told Makai knight cannot cut down a person, to his disappointment, but he understand that the Makai order has laws and rules of their own to follow not the only way around.
"Let get down to it, shall we? Now Marshal Ironwood has informed us of the events of last not, but now with you rested, we were wondering if you have anything to add to what happen last night?" Ms. Goodwitch said wanted to get straight to the point.
"Do you think you would know from any of the new transfer student that came in, or maybe someone you knew from your battles before?" Ruby asked her son as he gave it some thought for the moment.
"Not really, the only thing I could tell was she was female and worn a mask to cover or Identity, her weapons were stander for normal huntresses, but the work design of them I never saw before, and you know Anya, my sister is he weapons nut," Gurren said being clear to what he says.
"Probably custom made then, can't tell for sure until I can get a look at them." Ruby said as Ironwood looked.
"So we're back to square 1 we have no leads." James said as Gurren looked.
"I don't mean to sound rude but there might be a lead you can check." Gurren said as the three looked. "I heard that the White Fang is meeting in the East somewhere I'm not sure where but it's worth checking out." Gurren said as Glynda and Ruby saw through it.
"Ok Gurren that will be all." Ruby said as Gurren nodded and left the room not needing to be told to keep this discreet.
(Later Team GARO dorm room)
Gurren arrived at his dorm only to be ganged up by his teammates as they looked at him. "What happened?" Anya called out as she looked to Gurren.
"Patience all will be explained." Zaruba said as Gurren began his explanation.
(At the head office)
"There we have it but if 20 years taught me anything the Umbra probably had years of preparations that we were all blind to, we send a scout team investigate what's going on and when we have the information we can decide on our next course of action." James said surprising Glynda.
"James that was exactly what I was about to suggest." Glynda said as she looked to the man.
"But the question is who to send." Ruby said as the two looked to her like they already know who. Ruby noticed this and looked confused for a minute. "What, is there something on my face?" Ruby asked out of the loop.
(Back at Team GARO dorm room)
"It seems were are at a halt," Omiko said in her normal tone as Rey was messing with his guitar as he said, "Gutsy move."
"Come one guys, Gurren told them what they wanted to know, I mean we doing what we can," Anya told the group.
Gurren stay quiet for the moment as everyone talk it out, soon a ring of a bell came to everyone's ears, as they stop and look to the center of the room where the child messenger stood with a red letter in his hand.
Gurren walk over and stop before the messenger, as the boy presented it to him, Gurren took it before the messenger vanishes right away with the sound of his bell.
Gurren looked at the letter and gave it a thought before Rey said, "Is it another horror hunt?"
Gurren took out his lighter, lit it and burn the letter away as words form before the team as Gurren spoken,-
"Team Garo, a shadow hover over from the rising sun. Go there and investigate this Shadow if it is a, Beast of Makai cut it down but if something darker report back."
"Ok we know what to do then." Anya said as she jumped down from her bed.
"Of course." Gurren said Rey smiled.
"Oh I just remembered something." Anya said as she walked over to her desk where a box was. "Grandpa Tai sent us some mail." Anya said as Gurren looked.
"Something from home?" Gurren asked as their Father was away on a mission.
Anya opened it before a cylinder popped out as it then shook a little before it turned into a corgi with Makai Symbols on its collar and fur. The corgi barked before everyone freaked out with different reactions. "RAGO!" Anya jumped up in joy at their family pet/Horror hunting hound.
"Your grandfather sent a dog!" Rey asked shocked to this.
"In the mail!" Omiko asked as she was also shocked at this.
"Personally I just stopped questioning it sense our Grandfather can be eccentric at times." Gurren said before Eclipse continued.
"Plus he does stuff like this all the time." Eclipse said as Anya was snuggling the strange Corgi.
"Your grandfather or your dog?" Omiko asked from the air as she had her disks in hover mode with her handing on them clearly not liking dogs.
"So what's with the Makai Seals on it?" Rey asked as Anya looked.
"Auntie Rachel gave him to us after Zwei had um... passed away of old age and when she saw how heartbroken we were she bread this dog to survive longer and help us with Horror Hunts those marks have special abilities for Rago here and they will surprise you." Anya said as Rey looked at the dog.
"Cool so he's a Horror Killer." Rey said as he looked to the Corgi.
"Please keep it away from my belongings." Omiko said not liking dogs.
"Would all first year students please report to the Amphitheater?" Ruby's voice said coming over the intercom.
Everyone was silent for the moment as Rey spoken up saying, "So, what are you going to do with the little guy, can't really leave him by himself." Rago started jump in the air where Omiko was hovering at with her disk, not wanted to come down, as the small dog gave a happy bark.
Gurren reach into the cylinder package and pull out a letter as he read out loud to the group, "Dear grandkids, I've got to leave the island for a few days, So I'm sending Rago to you to take care of, as I know he misses you guys. I'm also encloses all the food you need love you both, from your grandpa Taiyang."
Rago came running by Anya as she turn the cylinder upside down as all the cans of 'dog food' any dog could eat, landed on top.
Everyone took a moment as Rey said, "What can the little guy do with all that?" Rago head pops out from the cans of 'Dog food', Anya tap the cylinder a bit as a can opener fell out, hitting Rago head, as he gave his happy dog look with his tong sticking out.
"I guess he's set," Gurren said as he put the piece of paper on the desk as he walks out, Rey follow out but not before he pat the Rago on his head and said, "Good boy."
Omiko jump off her disk and rush out the door with her disk following behind as she grab it in hand.
Anya was the only one left in the room, as she was about to leave as well, she stop and look back at her family pet, as he looked up at her with his tong still sticking out, as Anya had a thought.
(Scene break amphitheater)
Team Garo walked into the amphitheater following close behind team ARRK as they join the other team of new beacon and other schools from the other kingdoms.
Ruby walked up to the mic as she clear her voice and spoke in a clear tone as she says, "Hello everyone, now that everyone's present. Professor Goodwitch would like to say something before we start."
Ruby moved away from the mic to allow Miss Goodwitch walk up to it and say what she wanted to say. "20 years ago the original Beacon Academy fell, many questions have been speculated as to how it could have fallen, some claim that a Grimm rested under the school and the negative emotions from the disaster of the Vytal Festival at the time awoken it, others claim that a small group wanted to divide the Kingdoms in an attempt to make humanity weak against the Grimm, or some even claim a small group wanted a power that had once rested there, and with the White Fang they had nearly succeeded if not for the acts of the brave Huntsman and Huntresses in training who had decided they would not allow this to happen." Glynda said as she looked to the four groups of students. "Mistral, Vacuo, Atlas, and Vale students who hailed from all four Kingdoms apposed this destruction and showed those who wished us all destruction they would not take it lying down." Glynda said as she looked to the students.
"They showed that our ancestors from the Great War were right that united we are strong and divided we fall, they who each carried that fire and passed their spirits and fires to you all the younger generation." Glynda said as she tried to inspire these students. "Our ancestors stood against the oppression of a powerful force leading to the creation of the Kingdoms and as their descendants we carry that torch as each of us had names given to us at birth as colors and too many had a hidden meaning behind our names." Glynda said as the students paid attention to the Huntress.
"Now each of you will undergo a mission with your mentor, some of you will work with other teams, while others work alone with their teams, some of you will remain in Vale's walls, while others will go beyond our Kingdoms Reach." Glynda said as the missions listing appeared behind her. "Now as a great man had once said today we stand united be it against oppression, Grimm, or cruel forces who wish to work in the shadows but we still stand united." Glynda said as she looked to the students. "No matter where your selected missions path takes you remember your training, remember you are not alone, and remember to be safe." Glynda said as she was done and left the mic as the students applauded her for the moving speech.
"Ok then we need a mission in the East hopefully we can convince mom to take such a mission." Anya said as Gurren nodded.
"We should check under Search and Destroy or Reconnaissance." Gurren said as Rey nodded.
"I'm down with that." Rey said before they began to check out the listing and saw two missions they could take but only one was in the East itself.
"Well I guess we're doing Search and Destroy." Gurren said before he clicked it and put his teams name on it. But when he did he saw a red mark appear as it said "Team Mentor required."
"Well guess we do have to have mom's approval for this." Anya said as Gurren nodded.
"So what do we wait?" Omiko asked as she looked around.
But that was when Ruby was heard. "No need I was actually going for that mission myself." Ruby said as she pulled out her scroll and used her Mentor pass which approved Team GARO for the mission. "Hope you guys aren't up to anything suspicious here." Ruby joked as Gurren was silent, Anya laughed nervously, Rey coughed into his hand, and Omiko rubbed her arm.
"Anyway no doubt you got Orders from the Watchdog, lately Grimm and Horrors have been vanishing in that area normally that would be a good thing but they are vanishing to much they get attracted there and poof there gone, the Watchdog wants us to investigate and see what's going on." Ruby said as Gurren looked.
"Could something or someone be hunting them?" Gurren asked as Ruby looked and turned her head.
"No if that was the case a Makai Knight would have turned in the Horror to the Watchdog." Ruby said as Eclipse then spoke.
"It could be someone is capturing Horrors and Grimm to serve them it wouldn't be the first time someone made a Horror submit to them." Eclipse said as Zaruba heard this.
"You're not wrong on that." Zaruba said as Silva looked to this.
"We might have to be careful Zero." Silva said as that was the best course of action.
"Ok then you guys should meet me on the ship oh and leave your bags except for the bare essentials after all we might be gone for a bit." Ruby said before she began heading off to find there designated bulwark.
Team GARO grabbed their bags and once they grabbed the stuff they would really need headed to the Bulwark as Anya smiled. "Alright let's go save the world!" Anya called out before Rena was heard.
"What you're going on world saving missions without us!" Rena asked as she and Team ARRK approached them.
"Save World every day." Kuro said correcting Rena.
"I know that being Huntsman and all with hunting Grimm but they are going World Saving Missions without telling us!" Rena called clearly not approving. "I'm hurt really, insulted, and maybe hungry. But that last one isn't your fault, Raiden." Rena said sending a Glare at Raiden for keeping her from eating pancakes.
"Don't blame me that you got caught in the cage trap you shouldn't have stolen the pancakes I made for the TEAM." Raiden countered as Rena was shocked.
"I'm going to have to side with Raiden on this one." Arka said shocking Rena.
"Second it." Kuro said as he had his hood and face mask off leaving only his eyes in view. It really questioned how he cannot be burning up under all those cloths like that.
"Well your missions does sound exciting, where are you guys going?" Arka asked as she looked to team GARO.
"We're just going outside the Kingdom." Anya said as Rena smiled.
"Hey! So are we." Rena said as Arka looked.
"Rena wanted to shadow the sheriff at a nearby village and Raiden just wanted to make sure Rena doesn't end up talking the guy to death." Arka said as Kuro looked.
"Dragged along." Kuro said as Raiden looked.
"Well she does have a tendency to talk until it's time to go to bed after short breathers." Raiden said as he was on the receiving end of that one time. "But we set out tomorrow so we're stuck in New Beacon for the Night." Raiden said as soon Xio and Onyx appeared.
"Then you guys can party with our team tonight." Onyx said as he and Xio stood side by side. "We're shadowing a crime specialist. All inner-city detective stuff. And we get to see solved cases from the past as part of the shadowing." Onyx said a Xio looked.
"I more like the Junior Badges in my opinion." Xio said as Arka was grateful she had inherited her mother's maturity and not her fathers. "We normally go to the city with you guys, which means stuff starts exploding and junk with the occasional monster here and there." Xio said as Onyx looked.
"So we agreed that this would be a better way to explore the kingdom when it's normal." Onyx said as he would rather have a normal day after all the excitement sense coming here.
"Well-" Anya began before her Mother cut in from their Bulwark.
"Hey kids I found our ride so hurry up!" Ruby called as it then became awkward for the group.
"Well good luck on your missions in case we don't come back in time to see you guys off." Gurren said breaking the silence and walking away.
(Scene Break Air in the East)
The group were flying over to a destroyed Village as whatever had happened here clearly wasn't natural. As they flew Anya was excited as she looked to her mother. "Wow mother and daughter on an assignment together this is awesome!" Anya called as Gurren was sitting on a seat waiting to arrive at the drop off zone.
"So what's the story here anyway?" Rey asked as he saw the village coming within view.
"Horrors and Grimm have been vanishing from here, and so far it doesn't appear to be a hybrid but some evidence point otherwise while others point to someone capturing them and taking them." Ruby said as she looked.
"So we need to find out what happened to them." Gurren said as Ruby nodded.
"Exactly." Ruby said knowing the danger was real.
But soon the Bulwark shook hard as the group had to hold on tight as when they looked they saw that one of the engines was hit and in the distance they saw what looked like Grimm and missiles coming straight at them. "Crap brace yourself!" Ruby called as soon the back of the Bulwark was hit as they then began spiraling to the forest area as they were hit.
The group quickly held on and soon the Bulwark hit the ground as it was all black for them for a minute.
(Later)
The group began to come to and thankfully none of them were hurt as Anya was coughing up any dirt as Rey was dusting himself off. "What was that?!" Omiko asked as she got out luckily the Grimm didn't find them.
"I don't know but whatever it was, it might be the person capturing the Horrors and Grimm." Ruby said as Anya was clutching her bag for dear life.
"So someone is working out here and doesn't want us reporting back to the Kingdom what is here." Anya said as Rey looked around.
"Yeah most likely." Rey said as Gurren appeared.
"Then we need to find as much information as possible and bring it back to the Kingdom." Gurren said as this might have involvement from the Umbra.
"Agreed." Ruby said as soon she noticed her daughter holding the bag. "ANYA!" Ruby called sternly making the girl freeze up. "I told you to leave the bag back at the school." Ruby called as Anya looked nervous trying to think of a way out of this situation with her mother.
Anya try to think of something as she said, "I thought you meant after we landed?" Soon everyone looked at her as Omiko have a blank look, Rey chuckled, and Gurren just shakes his head at his sister.
For Ruby, she thought back to what she said and shrug and said, "Well I maybe I did miss worded things. Okay then leaves it here and we could pick it up later."
Anya panic a bit and said, "But, I- ahh." Ruby raises an eyebrow to her daughter and then saw the bag move on its own a bit and said, "Anya, what's in the bag?"
Anya scratch the back of her head and said, "Well it's…" before she could answer Rago pop out his head.
Everyone was wide eye to that as Gurren face palms his face, Rey scratch his head confused about something, and Omiko just slowly backed away to her fear of the dog. As Anya look to Rago and whisper, "I thought I said stay in the bag?" "Woof!"
"EEEEEk, Rago!" Ruby said using her semblance as she speed pass her daughter and grab the family pet as she held him close and spin around with him as she says, "You brought Rago along, this is great. We may able to track down the horrors or Grimm with Rago tracking abilities. Oh who's a good dog?!" "Ruff!"
Everyone looked at their mentor for a moment before Anya patted her side and said, "I am smart." "No, you're just lucky," Gurren said breaking Anya moment as she said, "Mode killer."
"So… are we going to track down the guy who fire that missiles and sent those Grimm at us or what?" Rey said as, he show he had his Ginroken out ready for combat as did everyone else having their weapon ready as well.
Ruby drop Rago and said, "Your right, if those missiles was able to lock on and fire at us, that means they could be close by of the lands. Rago sniff mode!"
Rago was licking himself for a moment before he stood up on all four and points his nose up in the air for a moment. "It seems to be at the village." Gurren said noticing where Rago was pointing to.
"Then we check it out." Ruby said as she took out Crescent Rose III and was ready for anything.
(Later at the village)
The group arrived at the village as they began looking for whatever had fired at them but what they found was a large deserted village. "Did Rago lead us in the wrong direction?" Gurren asked as Rago was sitting down waiting for his next command.
"No Rago never misleads us this is where Grimm and Horrors have been vanishing something doesn't add up." Ruby said as she knew Grimm were congregating here so there must be a reason.
"Maybe we need a lead." Rey said before Rago started growling.
Ruby saw this and knew exactly what it meant. "Grimm." Ruby said as the team looked and saw a creature of Grimm a Beowulf was stalking around as Gurren looked ready for a fight as did his team. "Wait Gurren we can use this, Grimm congregate to areas with high negative emotions we find that Grimm's pack we find our targets." Ruby said as Anya looked.
"How long will that take?" Anya asked as she looked to this.
"Hard to tell lone Grimm sometimes stay isolated from the pact for a long time we might be here for a, and there's the pack." Ruby said suddenly as the pack had appeared.
"Great what's next?" Rey asked before Ruby saw it.
"And now they've seen us." Ruby said as Omiko glared at Rey for tempting fate.
"You had to ask." Omiko asked Gurren with a glare as Eclipse yawned.
"This will become tiresome real fast better start fighting." Eclipse said as the Lazy Madou Ring knew what was next.
"Show me what you all can do." Ruby said as everyone nodded.
Anya pulled on the Yaiba Scythe which now had a collapsible Sniper Rifle attached to it as it seems the clamp system is finished.
"Cover your ears Rago." Anya said as Rago did so.
Gurren took a battle stance while ready to draw the Garoken, Rey held his weapons in the reverse grip while taking his battle stance ready to take on the Grimm, and Omiko pulled her Disks out ready to defeat the foes before her.
The Grimm came charging in, at the team Garo and their mentor Ruby, Gurren was the first one to take action as he rush in at first, as he use his semblance to teleport in front and slash at a few before teleporting again to dodge a pounce, and appeared in the air as he pull out Garo bullet and fired upon them.
Omiko stood in the middle of the road as many Grimm surrounds her, as some went on a charge at her, the disk moved to her commands as they slice and dice the Beowolves that came at her.
One was in the air, about to pounce her until Omiko turn around and pointed her hand in the air as she use her semblance power with her minimal control she had over it, she blow the Beowolf to dust.
Rey was running out to a more open area, for one not to get into the crossfire of his other teammate and vice versa. When he did, using his semblance of the glyphs and send himself at the Beowolves, as he pass by them they had been cut up as they fell when Rey pass by.
Now with Anya, as she fire off her shots at them as they came close, each Grimm that was shot fell dead. Stopping her fire as there were few left and very close to her, She combine her two scythe weapon into one and using her flame flash step as she charged at the group of Grimm and fire the last few shot she had in her rifle to accelerate her speed and put a spin on her attack as she came at them like a mini tornado that shreds everything in its path.
Came to a slide to slow her down as she used her scythe to steady her as she swiftly spin around with her weapon behind her back with all of her ammo casing fell so did the Grimm.
The last few seem to be running away, as Ruby came by with her semblance and hack two of them in half at the waste before she aim at the last one, pull the trigger, and blew the head off.
Ruby put her weapon in concealed mode as she said, "That the last of them in this area. Let move on and see if we can find any others."
Team GARO gather together and walk through the town to find any more Grimm or horrors that were in hiding with Rago as the guild if he sniff anything out.
(Later)
The Group were fighting more Grimm being as it was day time this meant that the Horrors would probably be dormant right now. Gurren slashed at a Grimm as Anya fired at one which was accompanied by Rey double slashing at a Horror. As they fought Ruby helped while also checking the area for any abnormalities sense even though she wasn't as great as an archeologist as Oobleck she knew when things have been tampered with.
As she checked the grass real quick a Grimm came up next to her so she used her free hand to pull the trigger on Crescent Rose III firing off a round killing the Grimm all while she was checking on the grass. "Wow your mom is tough." Rey said as Anya smiled.
"Yeap that's my super mom all right slayer of monsters and demons and baker of cookies." Anya said as she seemed to have spread her obsession with cookies to Anya.
"Personally I'm more into brownies." Gurren admitted to himself as he slashed at a Horror.
Ruby got up and saw the Grimm were defeated as she nodded. "Well we did a good job here but looks like whatever group working here isn't operating in this sector." Ruby said as she sighed in defeat. "Well let's check somewhere else." Ruby said as they left as Rey had to ask.
"Ms. Rose I've been meaning to ask but how is it that you're so powerful I mean mom never went into detail how you, Sirius, and Jaune took down Darkus all those years ago and none of the Knights I trained under knew you well enough to give me an exact story." Rey asked as Ruby smiled.
"Maybe another time after all it doesn't matter how I did it just as long as I did it as a protector without causing innocent lives I think we can all walk away happy." Ruby said as she led the group. "Why you want a little of that power for yourself?" Ruby asked as Rey looked shocked.
"Of course not ma'am I was just curios sense my mother didn't get to talk to you after she was forced back to Atlas." Rey said as Ruby smiled to herself knowing exactly how she was going to help Team GARO Grow.
(Later)
The group cleared another sector of Grimm as Ruby pulled Rey away so she can talk to him personally. "So Rey why did you choose to be a Makai Knight considering your mother was a Schnee I had bet you would have taken a job as head of the Schnee Dust Corporation or any cushy job in Atlas." Ruby said as Rey cut up a Grimm as he sighed.
"Do you want the honest truth?" Rey asked as Ruby nodded.
"Of course." Ruby said as Rey sighed.
"When my father the Zero before me had knocked up my mom they stayed together during the pregnancy. My mom wanted to hide it from my grandfather because if it was discovered she was pregnant a whole lot of stuff could happen. Nine months later I came out and my mother stayed with me for a time before packing up and leaving me with my father. And when it was discovered I was next in line to wield Zero it was no longer a question as to what I wanted to do with my life but personally I was trying to figure out who I was." Rey said as he slashed at a Horror remembering his childhood.
"My mother sent money over to me and my dad even if my dad didn't need it but it was put into a personal account for me for the future in case I wanted a path away from being a Makai Knight." Rey said as he summoned a small glyph in his hand and made ice appear in it. "But one day when I was 7 my father died during a Horror hunt against a cloaked Horror and well it kind of hit me hard sense all I had for my life was my father. Then next thing I know according to my fathers will I would be raised by my mother and next think I know I found out why my mother left me with my father." Rey said before the ice shattered in his hand. "I found out my grandfather was a complete asshole who was racist against the Faunus and more worried about his fortune and family name then his own family and ended up naming me the heir to the SDC even though I didn't want it." Rey said as he sat on a rock.
"It wasn't until age 10 and was already beginning my training under my master that my hatred for the Schnee Dust Company really hit its peak, a Faunus who was an old family friend of mine was working in Schnee to earn some money but I later found out that he had been mistreated by the Schnee as nothing more than a glorified janitor and well his anger peaked to summoning a Horror." Rey said as he remembered that day while trying to be nice about it. In truth the man had borrowed money and because of that he was treated practically like a slave since if he quit and tried to find work elsewhere, let's just say the SDC would make sure he had trouble lots of it. "My master was able to cut him down and at that moment I realized what I wanted no... what I needed to do with my life, my mother spent much of her time trying to fix the wrongs the Schnee had caused but I needed to do my part, so I chose to become Zero and next thing I know after I received my armor me and my old friends ended up becoming Zero Black Blood a band famous in Atlas and Vacuo as Faunus Rights supporters." Rey said as he didn't realized he was getting some of his pent up past off his chest.
"My grandfather was pissed off yea but mom I never seen her so proud before yet at the same time sad." Rey said as Ruby nodded.
"You've come a long way Rey and you still have a lot more room to grow and you still have to master a lot of aspect of your Semblance but you also are smarter then you give yourself credit for sense I've see you invent new Glyphs and your own battle style mixing together you mothers and your fathers. You were made from the best of them so if anything you are the only one who can fix what the Schnee has done." Ruby said as she held Rey's hands before Rey teared up a bit and smiled.
"Thanks ma'am." Rey said before getting up and heading back into action.
(Later with Omiko)
Omiko slashed her way through Grimm as Ruby looked to the young Faunus before speaking. "Omiko tell me what did you choose to become a Priestess when you had pretty much no Makai lineage behind you? You could have easily become a Huntress and fight the Grimm if you could master your Semblance." Ruby said as she sat on an old patio.
"It's just... I couldn't risk it. My Semblance they call it the power of destruction unless I'm wearing these restrictors constantly there's a chance I can destroy everything I'm a literal ticking time bomb." Omiko said as she walked to the side a bit. "If I'm not in control if I don't keep this power chained and restrained I could kill everyone... like I did with my village and family." Omiko said remembering how she was the only survivor of ground zero. "I could never live with myself if I let anyone close to me get hurt cause of my Semblance. If there was a way to control my Semblance without wearing my chains I would use it but..." Omiko began before Ruby finished.
"You're scared, you're scared of losing control." Ruby said as Omiko nodded sadly. "Omiko your bravery then most people in similar positions then you but you dared to hope there is a way to control your Semblance and you even joined the Makai to find a way to control your power, all you really need to control your Semblance is courage." Ruby said as Omiko was shocked and looked to Ruby only to see her walking away to continue the mission.
(With Anya)
"Anya." Ruby began as she saw her daughter playing with Rago.
"Yeah mom." Anya greeted as Ruby looked.
"Why were you so intent on inheriting Yaiba?" Ruby asked as Anya smiled.
"Because it's part of my blood." Anya said but Ruby looked.
"Blood had nothing to do with it Anya I want your personal reason for becoming a Makai Knight." Ruby said as Anya smiled her small smile.
"Well I wanted to be like you and the heroes of the stories you, dad and Gurren read to me as a kid." Anya said as she looked to her mother. "I wanted to be like those heroes traveling the world fighting monsters and saving as many people as I come across and maybe become someone as great as you, I mean what daughter wouldn't be proud of her mother's accomplishments because I know I would be proud." Anya said as that made Ruby smiled. "I want to be more than a Knight I want to be a protector like you and Grandma Summer were and somehow I just feel that Grandma Summer is inhabiting Yaiba somehow I just know it." Anya said which made Ruby smile.
"Anya your goal is noble but the world isn't like a fairy tale where the Knight always saves the day." Ruby said as Anya smiled.
"Yeah but that's why we exist as both Knights and Huntsman to make it a little better." Anya said as Ruby smiled.
"Exactly." Ruby said before the two continued their mission.
(Later)
Gurren slashed through an old door as he quickly shot the Grimm who flew out and caused them to land on the ground dead as they turned to dust. "Come on Gurren you have to have a reason for becoming Garo." Ruby said as Gurren sheathed his sword.
"My reason... I want to be strong." Gurren said as Ruby was shocked. "I want to be as strong a Knight as dad was, people expect me to be a legend as the current Golden Knight and those who I trained with expected nothing but the best from me." Gurren said as he looked. "I kept it bottled up all these years but I want to be as great a Knight as dad and maybe one day surpass him." Gurren said as Ruby smiled at her son.
"Gurren the path you chose is a hard one and might even lead you down darkness but you can't try and be the best Golden Knight that your father was you need to aim to be the best Golden Knight YOU can be, don't try and force yourself to fill the shoes of others just be happy with the shoes you already filled." Ruby said as Gurren looked to her mother surprised to hear that before she noticed the sun was beginning to set. "Best find a place to set up camp for the night don't want to be Horror food before we wake up." Ruby said as she turned to the team. "You three set up camp and make sure it's protected me and Gurren will scout the perimeter for any bad guys." Ruby said as Team GARO nodded and went to carry out the task.
As Gurren and Ruby went out into the town as Gurren asked, "Is there a reason you wanted me to come out here mother?"
Ruby smile and said, "Nothing much, just something I discover just recently while searching. Something you need to see for yourself."
Ruby keep leading on Gurren down a path to it seems the center of town and there something standing still intact than the rest of the town being in ruins, is a statue.
Gurren raise an eyebrow to this part as he sees the statue still standing, but there was more than just that the area around it was looking more nicely than anything else.
To Zaruba he sense something in the area as he said, "This sense, it feels familiar." Gurren raise him as he asked, "Do you know what it is?"
"I'm not too surprise that Zaruba sense it, as besides he been to one similar before," Ruby said as Gurren looked at his mother as he lower his hand.
"What do you mean?" Gurren asked as Ruby pointed out and said, "Go look for yourself."
Gurren looked at the statue itself as that where his mother was pointing at. Going up to the statue itself, he came around it to see its frontal area, as he saw, it was a bronze statue that time has barely touch, and this town was old as Gurren could tell but the statue itself look like new itself.
Looking down at the statue and saw a name place that was cover in grass, kneeling down and brush the grass to the side and read what written on the sign, "Crimson Skylar the Silver eyes swordsman."
"Silver eyes?" Gurren question as Gurren stood up once more and looked up at the statues face and something somewhat surprise him as he saw the eyes themselves.
The eyes, those pure silvery eyes shining in the light with no pupil in the eyes themselves, and yet seems alive.
Gurren didn't know what to make of this statue and then he thought he was seeing things as the silver eyes themselves were fixated on him. he didn't know why or how but he could not turn away from them as the eyes were glowing, brighter, Gurren eyes seems to be sync with it as his eyes started to glow as well, and then visions started to come to him.
Gurren found himself in an endless void as it almost looked like he was in the sky. "What?" Gurren asked as he looked around. Gurren then sensed something behind him as he looked and saw the man the statue had described.
The man was wearing a hood as he held a sword in his hand as Gurren saw his glowing silver eyes. Crimson pointed his sword at Gurren as Gurren was confused. "Silver Eyed Warrior..." The man said as his voice was like a whisper in the air. "Heed my words carefully there is much darkness in your heart but your family, friends, and the Apocalypse Maiden they are your light." He said before lowering his sword. "They will be there to cast away the darkness from your soul and prepare you to battle the Queen from ages past." The figure said as Gurren assumed he was talking about this Umbra Empress. "And the one who would take her place and take his rightful place." Crimson said as now Gurren was confused.
"Who?" Gurren looked as Crimson had the answer.
"The Umbra Empires rightful heir." Crimson said as Gurren was now confused. "But I shall pass to you a skill that I had invented prepare yourself." Crimson said before taking on a battle stance.
Gurren waited for a demonstration before Silver Grimm appeared mainly one that looked like a Gorilla which roared and attacked Crimson. But Crimson took a defensive stance and with his Aura created an energy shield which not only blocked the attack but sent the damage back through the Grimm arm before causing a hole to appear in its chest. Needless to say Gurren was shocked to see this as he did not expect such a display of power.
"Now it is your turn." Crimson said getting ready to attack Gurren.
Gurren drew the Garoken as he was ready as Crimson looked.
"It is an attack of redirection your opponents force with your own Aura, first you must charge your Aura to a point and 'catch,' the force then sent it back through the point of impact." Crimson said as Gurren nodded.
"I am ready." Gurren said as Crimson nodded to that.
Crimson then charged at Gurren with enough force to cause damage but little enough so it won't harm Gurren but when his weapon hit the Garoken it was sent flying. "Do not rely on that your Aura and Soul regardless of how little or small they are, are your most powerful allies." Crimson said as Gurren nodded and got ready again using his gauntlet arm to catch the attack.
Crimson charged once more with the same force and Gurren charged his Aura to his gauntlet before catching the attack with said Aura before sending it back at Crimson causing him to go flying.
Crimson landed on his feet before chuckling to himself. "Impressive Silver eyed Golden Knight, thus skull is more used against much larger foes with greater physical strength use my teachings wisely." Crimson said as Gurren nodded.
"I will." Gurren said before Crimson walked away a little.
But then Crimson stopped for a moment before turning to Gurren. "There are six more of our clan who hold a message for you and wish to pass on their teachings to you seek them out and your strength will grow." Crimson said before he vanished into the fog.
Gurren soon found himself back before Crimson's statue as he tried to makes heads and heels or tails of it. 'Well how was it?" Ruby asked as Gurren turned to his mother.
"It was... odd, strange and knowledgeable but odd." Gurren admitted as Ruby smiled.
"I had the same reaction when I found these that were meant for me." Ruby said as Gurren was confused. "Apparently these statues are all over Remnant giving guidance and teachings to those with our eyes if chosen and protection for travelers." Ruby said before Zaruba spoke.
"These statues hold the spirits of your clan to pass on knowledge to all silver eyed warriors seeking it 7 for each Silver Eyed Warrior." Zaruba said as Gurren was surprised.
"I already found six out of the seven for me." Ruby said with a smile as Gurren looked to Crimson's statue.
Gurren gave a small smile before bowing respectfully to the statue knowing even long after their kind had vanished Crimson was still passing on his knowledge long after his death.
(Meanwhile with ARO)
The trio of teammates and Rago founded a place that had a roof over head and walls around, as the place was mostly intact with the pillar that was keep the place up was sturdy which is good news, as they put together a fire with Anya using Makai flames to help start it as not wanting to attract a horror by accident, being 101 of horror hunting/camping in a ruin area.
The sleeping bags were lay out, and seal were place all around last provided by Omiko, as Anya began to say, "Great job everyone, this will be a great camping experience."
"Great, we have fire, all we need is marshmallow, my guitar, and we can all sing kumbaya," Rey said in a joking matter as Omiko said, "I prefer fish."
"You know I was joking, Miss Grace?" Rey said and he received a hit to the back of his head as Omiko said, "Don't call me Grace."
"Ow," Rey said as he rubs the back of his head and soon enough Rago bark happily, as Gurren and the team mentor Ruby came walking in as Ruby said, "Alright team great job setting up a camp fire."
Gurren just join the team around the fire and begin to say, "We sweep the area to make sure it was secured. How about you guys?"
"Seals are place all around with no chance of any horror or Grimm detecting us or enter in the building," Omiko said as she pointed the parts and seals as next was Rey as he gave his part, "the place is structure sounded, with the main pillar hold very strong, as long no one hit it or destroy it we're good for this place."
"I used Makai flame to light the fire to make sure we don't summon or attract a horror or so," Anya said as Gurren nods to them as Ruby said, "Now that everyone is set, we need someone to have first watch tonight."
"Me!" Anya said as she raise her hand to volunteer for the first watch.
"Ok then everyone eat your dinners and go to bed we have a lot of ground to cover tomorrow." Ruby said as everyone nodded.
As everyone got ready to eat Anya spoke up as she looked to Gurren. "Hey bro." Anya called catching Gurren's attention. "What did mom want to talk to you about had to be important if she wanted to talk to you personally?" Anya said as Rey looked to his Rival/Friend.
"Yeah I want to know also." Rey said as Gurren did his small smile.
"Just something involving our ancestry is all." Gurren said as Anya knew he meant the silver eyes. "Well goodnight." Gurren said before going to prepare his bedroll and his dinner.
Anya shrugged before heading over to her watch spot as Rago followed after her. Anya then sat down and watched the ground as Rago laid next to her but keeping his senses on alert in case he needs to act. "I know things will turn around whoever is out there isn't going to stay hidden any longer." Anya said as she knew these Umbra people will do everything in their power to cause the end of peace.
(Scene Break back at New Beacon)
Ironwood was looking at Vale which the school had a good view from Mt. Beacon as he knew he would be leaving Real soon since Winter would be arriving tonight to oversee their forces as the new General. As he looked back at his life he saw and could admit he had gotten old but looks like he can't have that early retirement if the Umbra do instigate another war. "Trouble sleeping?" Glynda asked as that knocked Ironwood out of his musing as he looked over to Glynda.
"Arm was acting up." James said as Glynda chuckled.
"You know I heard that excuse before James now what's really troubling you." Glynda said as James sighed.
"Just looking back at everything that had happened sense the Vytal Festival Disaster 20 years ago." James said as Glynda looked.
"We've all come a long way since then." Glynda said as James looked stressed.
"Yes but after the Great War, why now why would the Umbra return after nearly a century of silence." James asked as he never wanted to put people of this generation through the trials of War.
"Sometimes people refused to let the past rest, and sometimes darkness never stays gone it measly rests till the light sets, if you want my honest opinion I think the Umbra have returned to finish what they started 100 years ago during the Great War." Glynda said knowing from historical text she was able to find in ruins that the Umbra Empire would stand for nothing less but absolute conquest and there unchallenged rule.
"I hope we can end this war before it has a chance to begin." James said before footsteps were heard. The two looked and saw Winter in her General Uniform appear as she looked to the two.
"I am here reporting for duty Admiral." Winter said as James nodded.
"Winter will be taking over for me here in Vale I have to head back to Atlas to oversee important matters." James said as Glynda nodded.
"I understand." Glynda said before James began heading over to his transport before Glynda faced Winter. "Alright I look forward to working with you General Schnee." Glynda said as Winter nodded.
"As do I, hopefully I'll be seeing my nephew." Winter said looking forward to seeing Rey after seeing one of his concerts with Weiss on live stream.
"He is away on a mission but he will be back in a few days." Glynda said as Winter nodded in understanding.
"Very well." Winter said before leaving to carry out her new duties.
(Back at the Village at the camp site)
Rey, Omiko, and Gurren were sleeping or at least they were trying too but their minds were riddled with questions as to what Ruby had asked them today. That was when Rey opened his eyes as he couldn't sleep. "Hey Gurren you awake?" Rey asked as Gurren with his eyes still closed answered.
"Yeah." Gurren said as he was on his side.
"Why did you think your mom asked us why we chose our paths?" Rey asked as Gurren opened his eyes and looked over to Rey.
"I think she wanted to tell us something each of us needed to hear in one way or form." Gurren said as he looked up to the ceiling. "Though I can't be certain as to what I can't read minds like Anya." Gurren said as Rey just looked up.
"Hey Omiko you awake?" Rey asked as he looked to the ceiling.
"Of course what is it?" Omiko said as Rey looked.
"Just have some things to get off my chest." Rey said as Omiko nodded.
"Then tell." Omiko said as Rey looked.
"It was never easy for me y'know one day it's just me and my father living our lives by day as a normal father and son but by night as a Makai Father and Son. Then my life changes from mid class to high class society, everyone expected me to act as my lineage as a Schnee and heir to the Schnee Dust Corporation." Rey said as he looked. "And if it wasn't for my father already instilling into me hard work and my mother keeping any paparazzi and would be corrupted away I might have ended up unworthy for Zero." Rey said but looked at his hand. "But I ended up getting a rebellious attitude, got into fights opposed authority, even caused destruction to public and private property. My grandfather tried to have it covered up but my mother stopped him. I was lost I didn't know what we right or what was wrong I just knew I was lost and hurting." Rey admitted as he clenched his hand before lowering it.
"What happened?" Gurren asked as Rey looked.
"I was sitting in a jail cell and my mom got me out on bail and I knew I let her down sense I let her down even though the stuff I wrecked was Schnee associated. But instead of taking me back to her house she took me to this small Dinner and ordered a pie. And she told me calmly yet sternly I had until she finished her food to decide what I'm going to do with my life before she began eating." Rey said remembering the day his mother set him straight. "It wasn't much but as she ate that was probably the best parenting I got sense my father passed away with mom trying to fill both roles." Rey said as he remembered that day like it was yesterday. "So when she was done I told her I wanted to go to dad's old place and when I got there I found Silva and I figured out what I wanted to do." Rey said as Silva chuckled remembering that day. "After words my mom told me that Dinner was special for her sense it was where she and my old man had their first date and would hope back there to meet up for dinner even after I was born and after they had a big argument, they would go there and make up, and when dad died she went back there every now and again just to remember my dad it really was a special place for her." Rey said as Gurren understood.
"Well for me it was about getting stronger to be as great a Golden Knight as my dad but now, I don't know, the reason my father became well known was because he did some remarkable things in his life and what have I done besides cut down Horrors and battle a high ranking member of an opposing order and get defeated." Gurren said as Zaruba spoke.
"You can't worry about being as great as your father you need to be as great as you can become." Zaruba broke in as Omiko had to agree.
"He's not wrong, the reason the precious generation pushes us younger people so hard is because the younger generation will always surpass the older generation it's kind of common face." Omiko said as she looked with a sad look. "But at least you guys have people in your families you want to surpass, me I'm just an orphaned survivor of my villages Ground Zero who had a powerful Semblance and capabilities to become a Makai Priestess." Omiko said as Rey looked to Omiko shocked.
"There had to be someone in your life who you could relate to or someone who you looked up go." Rey said as Gurren looked.
"Well there was one person, she was really kind yet teasing at times. She took me under her wing and taught me everything she knew." Omiko said remembering that one Priestess in the Order.
"She told me I reminded her of another Faunus she knew a long time ago and taught me everything she knew, before I knew it I was a Makai Priestess but the bond we had was more like between two siblings she was the closest thing I had to an older Sister. There is also this other person in Vale, she was there when I released the restrictors and she treated me like I was her own, and it felt nice to have a mother again after so long, I had nearly forgotten what it was like." Omiko said as Gurren smiled.
"Well there you go that's two people that's a 200% increase at least that's what my Aunt would say." Gurren said as Omiko smiled a bit. "But in the end it doesn't really matter much, here we are behind enemy lines armed with nothing but our weapons, the ammunition and dust we had brought with us, our cunning and wits, and all our courage." Gurren said as Rey smiled.
"Yeah we are protectors and it doesn't matter what came before. All that matters is what comes after and what lies ahead." Rey said as they could all agree on that.
Meanwhile on a higher spot Ruby smiled as she saw how these three were growing and already knew who the teasing Priestess Omiko was talking about was. Ruby then went to sleep knowing her charges and her two kids were growing up and becoming stronger for it.
(Scene Break later that night)
Right now this late at night, Gurren was taking his shift of the night watch, as Rey and Omiko sleeping comfortably, Anya was starting to get some sleep along with Rago as he lay next to her, but to any animal, the call of nature came to him.
Rago gotten up from his sleep and shake himself away as it woke up Anya as well as she said, "Rago, its late. Go back to bed."
Anya was about to lay down again until Rago ran off as Anya wanted to catch him before he was out of reach but too late, she was too slow to catch him and called out in a low tone so she didn't wake anyone else up, "Rago, Rago!"
Rago ran outside and Anya without thinking of letting Gurren know what happen, she just walk out as well after Rago hoping to get him back in.
Anya peeked out of the doorway as she called out, "Rago? Rago where are you?"
Anya soon looked across the street as she hears the sound of like water dripping and saw Rago across the street with his back leg up and a he was peeing.
Anya sighed as she walked out and said, "Rago, this is a wasteland. You literally could've don't that anywhere." "Ruff." Rago barked as he walk over back to her with same dopy look on his face.
That was when Rago sniffed it and began snarling as some of his Makai Symbols began to glow as it only meant one thing. A Horror was nearby as Rago growled and snarled ready to fight the Horror.
"I don't think you need me to tell you a Horror is nearby, Gold Flower." Eclipse said as Anya nodded as she grabbed Yaiba Scythe and jumped to cover. She soon heard gunfire as she looked passed the wall and was wide eyed as she saw White Fang and unknown Soldiers fighting a Horror and detaining it. She saw they were using special tranquilizers to make it docile as the Horror clearly wasn't giving up without a fight.
The Horror screeched and roared before it tried to fly away but being as it had the tranquilizers in it, its movement was sloppy and then the soldiers and White Fang shot ropes as it before bringing it down and restraining it as the Horror struggled to get free but alas it was eventually tied up and a seal was placed on its head by a certain spear wielding Umbra Knight.
"My lord the Horror has been detained and we are ready to transport it." A soldier said as the wielder of Zem nodded.
"Very good the other teams have already captured the Horrors they were assigned to catch right now to bring them to the base." Kuroido said as Rago growled silently as Anya was shocked.
"Very well we shall return to base." The Soldier said as he and his group began bringing to Horror to their base. Kuroido of course went to meet up with the scout teams no doubt they were looking for any survivors from that Bulwark crash.
Anya quickly went to find higher ground so she can follow them without being detected but quickly saw she didn't have time so in turn she stealthily followed them. As she followed she saw they were heading to a specific direction as it seems Rago was getting more edgy the more they followed. Soon Anya saw they were entering a doorway which she quickly hid before putting Rago out to watch.
"Are they gone? One Bark means yes." Anya said as Rago looked before the sound of a door closing was heard.
"Ruff." The Dog said returning to its dopey self.
"Alright time to call the others." Anya said before taking out her scroll but quickly saw she had no signal. "Well if Plan A doesn't work time for Plan B." Anya said before looking to Eclipse.
"I don't see why I'm not Plan A." Eclipse said with a yawn as Anya looked.
"Because you're extremely lazy." Anya said as Eclipse yawed.
"I'm too tired to dignify that with a response so just tell me the message sense I can establish the link with Zaruba and Silva." Eclipse said as Anya nodded.
"Tell them I found a squad of white fang members and their leader in the north bounders of the town, captured a horror, come immediately, I'm going to follow pursuit," Anya said ending her message there before she took out her weapon and try to follow behind to the way they went, as she walk onto the middle of the road with Rago following behind.
A few steps in and Anya stop right away as she hears a rumbling and cracking sound, as she look down at her feet and see the ground beneath her is about to collapse as she said, "Oh no."
Turn around fast and run before the road gave way with Rago doing the way, as it started to collapse. Rago gotten to a safe area as he turn around and bark to Anya, as she try to follow, but it was too late, the road fell apart and Anya fell in the black.
Rago went to the edge and bark down in the hole to see if his owner is alright, but no respond came, as Rago whimpers and then turn around and try to find the others.
(Anya)
Anya scream as she keep falling down, and then suddenly landed hard on solid ground and she gasp to the pain. Anya Aura ran low a bit as it had saved her life by soften the landing.
"Ow!" Anya said as she gotten herself up a little weakly, Got a feeling in her right arm but her left is a little iffy, as she move it a bit and hears and felt it cracking back in place as she sighed in relief.
Fixing herself up a bit and looked around to see her weapons laying around, as she picks those up and put them in place on her person and then looked around to see where she was at, as she saw to the look of it an underground city.
Anya remember something as she said, "An underground secret place, I read that other places did the same as Mt. Glenn but it seem this place didn't make it ether, so this is where they were hiding."
Going over to an area as she look over the entire place as she looked at the entire city and then she started to hear voices and the sound of trucks.
Anya pull out her huntress weapon as she put it in rifle mode, a scope pop up and look down and see what was going on.
Down the scope, a white Fang member heavily armed, looking over the area with another waving his arms back directing a truck that's backing up into the area as Anya said, "What are they doing?"
"Over there!" a voice rang out as Anya stop looking down the scope and turn around quickly with her weapon now in scythe mode as a small squad of White Fangs came around the area surrounding Anya as they point their weapons at her as the one in the center said to her, "Drop your weapon and surrender now human!"
"Crap." Anya said knowing she had to go easy on them. Anya then took a battle stance as she knew if she so much as cut them she would be in deep trouble.
"You're a long way from home little girl." Another said as Anya knew she had to fight her way out.
"How about you give up!" Anya called out before charging at the White Fang Members and used the butt of her weapon to hit them. She hit one but the other got out of the way as now the rest of the squad began firing at her with no lethal rounds. Anya dodged the attack and recognized a sleep type dust when she saw it.
Anya blocked the attacks that came at her as she had to knock out all these grunts without hurting them to bad. Anya weaved and avoided the attacks before Anya quickly sheathed her weapon and sent a drop kick at them. But she made the mistake of going after the bigger one and thus her kick was caught and she was thrown to the ground. But as Anya tried to get up another White Fang Member hit her with the butt of his rifle hard as that caused Anya to be dazed. As Anya looked the white fang surrounded her as everything was beginning to go dark.
"How did she get here?" One asked as another looked.
"It doesn't matter the bosses are going to want to see this." Another said before they kicked Anya knocking her out cold.
(With the Team)
Gurren, Rey, and Omiko were up as they were grabbing there gear. They had received Anya's message as Ruby grabbed her scythe ready for action. "We have to hurry no telling what trouble Anya is in." Zaruba said as Gurren nodded to his Madou Ring.
"Let's go." Gurren said but before they can get outside they saw Rago run in as he looked like he needed help.
"Rago?" Ruby asked as Silva then spoke.
"It looks like Anya is in more trouble than we thought." Silva said as Ruby then gained a dark aura around her.
"If they so much as look at her while thinking of doing bad things to her I'll show those guys why I'm one of the best Huntresses out there and why Horrors were afraid of me." Ruby said as the three plus Rago stepped away from her in fear as her silver eyes glowed showing she was a momma bear on the hunt.
"We need to hurry." Gurren said before they ran outside to find Anya by following Rago.
(With Anya)
Anya began waking up and found herself in the place she was spying on. Anya looked to either side of her and saw there were not only White Fang here who were handling what seemed to be bombs and weapons but she also saw people dressed similar to Lord Kiba and even what looked like soldiers in uniform as they seemed to be preparing something. The Soldiers seemed to be handling the heavy gear with the suits while the Lord Kiba fan club seemed to be monitoring the whole thing.
"Hey boss we found something you may want to see!" The White Fang member said as soon Ao's voice was heard.
"This had better be results because we still have yet to locate any corpses of survivors from that Bulwark Crash." Ao said as she was working on something.
"Um it's a little girl." The White Fang member said soon Ao walked out as with her was Kuroido as Kuroido seemed to smirk while Ao saw that this was good.
"It appears you have brought results." Ao said as if Anya was here that would mean that she knows where the others were.
(Back on the Surface with Team GRO and Ruby)
As the team and Ruby follow Rago to where Anya vanish too they came across the hole in the middle of the road, as they stop near it and not wanting to make it wider on accident.
"This is some sink hole," Rey said as Gurren raise Zaruba as he asked, "Can you tell anything?"
"Hmm? Anya did fall down, as far as I can smell a faint of Yaiba scythe soul metal, and… some fired sleep dust that rising from the hole," Zaruba said as he did his job.
"If they use the sleep dust, that mean they may have capture her and keeping her alive still," Omiko said to the team as some were relief to hear that.
Ruby suddenly smack her head and said, "Of course, this is just like Mt. Glenn."
"That the one with the underground city?" Rey asked as Gurren look to him and said, "Pretty much it also abandon after it's been overrun by subterranean Grimm."
"One of Makai order dark history," Omiko added as Gurren walk over the edge and said, "So all this time, the enemy we are looking for are-
"Underground," Ruby said finish for her son as she came up beside him.
As everyone else came close as well as Rey asked, "So ah… what the plan?"
For Gurren there was only one thing to do, as he jump in without saying about word.
Ruby smile as she follow after as she jumped in next and then Omiko follow soon after leaving Rey by himself as he was now alone and said, "Oh, let's all jump in shall we?"
Rey jump as he said, "Down below!" Rago bark and then jump last.
(Anya)
Being held down as Ao walked around Anya as she begin to say, "I am surprise there is a survivor, but with you being a Makai knight, there no question of how, but why."
Ao stop in front of Anya as she kneel down to her and lifted Anya head up by her chin and looked at her eyes as she said, "And silver eyes too, so your what Lord Kiba desire most as well."
"Back off I don't play for that team." Anya said as Ao caught the taunt as Ao chuckled.
"Sorry but neither do I." Ao said as Kuroido pointed his spear at Anya.
"Start talking why are you here?" Kuroido demanded as Anya glared at the Umbra.
"As if I'd tell you." Anya countered as Kuroido chuckled.
"Well we have ways of making you talk Makai Knight." Kuroido said before closing his eyes and focusing on Anya. Anya quickly began feeling weird as she felt like her mind was being tickled that was when she realized what he was doing. He had the same ability as the Shadow Slashers which meant she could see all the truths she hidden with lies. Anya quickly began to run but it was too late as Kuroido got what he needed. "Ah I see you and your team came here on orders of the Watchdog to find out why Grimm and Horrors have been vanishing from here." Kuroido said as Ao cursed.
"It appears I had made a grave miscalculation when developing this plan, they are suspicious of us now." Ao said as she looked at her pad to quickly try and calculate the time they have before the others show up. "Keep her there for a minute will you Kuroido." Ao asked as she looked over the data.
"Certainly Ao." Kuroido said before he was about to tie Anya up. But Anya then kicked Kuroido's legs knocking him down before running for it. "Crap she's getting away!" Kuroido said as Ao while doing he numbers grabbed a grappling hook from her person and shot it at Anya which wrapped around her legs and dragged her back as Anya cursed.
"We seem to be in a pickle Gold Flower." Eclipse said as she had been getting woken up a lot lately which is never a good sign.
"My apologies but we are not finished here." Ao said before the alarms sounded which was accompanied by explosions. Ao looked and saw Kiba's Knights of Blood, the Imperial Troops, and White Fang members running as they fired behind them were an enemy waited for them.
"It looks like we have company." Kuroido said as he saw this.
"It appears if we wish to have a chance at our desired plan then we must act now." Ao said before turning to the troops. "Load what you can and prepare to move out the operation starts now!" Ao ordered as she then climbed onto he tanks as machines began to move as it opened a path to the surface area as they had to act.
Anya used her weapon to cut the rope around her legs and get off as she ran over to her team who were battling the people without drawing blood. "Brother, mother!" Anya called as she ran to Gurren and Ruby and hugged them.
"Are you ok Anya did they hurt you?" Ruby asked as Gurren held Anya close.
"No, I'm okay," Anya said as she let off the hug and started to explain as she said, "But these guy, they got mech, bombs, and a lot of weapons on those trucks."
"But that don't make sense, there no clear path anywhere from to the surface and these truck were lower down here by a crane to what I'm seeing, unless… oh my Oum don't tell me is Mountain Glenn all over again," Ruby said to everyone.
"What do you mean? What happen at Mt. Glenn again? Me and Gurren only got you gotten Yaiba there from your stories," Anya said to her as Ruby look to her team and said, "At M.T Glenn they used a train and bomb to open up caverns down the tunnel and lead a mass of the subterranean Grimm into the city."
"If they plan on doing something like that here as well... they would need to have a direct path to the surface," Gurren said as Rey step in getting his two cents in, "But there isn't a tunnel from this place that leads into the city right?"
"Not tunnels, roads on the surface. I've seen a road from a hill side that led into the city from the Bulwark before we were shot down," Omiko said.
Gurren had a hand on his chin and said, "But what about the Grimm and horrors, why capture them?"
Everyone got the same thought and thought 'why'.
As everyone think about it until Ruby said, "Hybrids… they not just planning a just a Grimm attack on the city, but Grimm/horror hybrids as well."
Everyone's eyes widen to that as Rey said, "It would be a slaughter, no huntsman, huntress, and Atlas forces weapon can harm them and the only things that could are soul metal and madou tools."
"No one has such weapon to give," Omiko said as Gurren pull his weapon out and said, "Then let's shut them down now."
Everyone agreed as now they have a plan, but while they were talking the white fangs and the blood knights gotten everything loaded up, as all the trucks engine roar out.
In the back of a truck, four white glowing eyes open up, as a voice was heard, "Hungry."
"Let's go!" Gurren called before they ran to the truck rig before jumping on as they knew this rig was almost as large as a train. As they held on they soon saw the rig going up a road of sorts before a large door opened revealing the outside world as it was still night.
As the group rode Rago was getting annoyed with being so close to Grimm and Horrors just waiting for the order to go off on them. As they rode Anya took out her scroll as they needed back up. "I'll call Arka." Anya said but she cursed her luck she had no signal. "Nothing." Anya said as Rey cursed.
"Well that's just great." Rey said as Silva looked.
"I had contacted any and all Makai Knights with Madou's in the area informing them of the situation we're going to have to prepare for a worst case scenario sense this is officially depth con 1." Silva said as Ruby looked.
"If we don't stop this rig we'll be looking at a massacre on our hands." Ruby said as they had to hurry. As they were on the top Anya glared at the path ahead as this was a large rig which was modified to go straight down the road like a bullet and break through the Kingdoms walls.
"We need to stop this rig." Gurren said as Zaruba understood.
"My Sentiments exactly." Zaruba said as they had to hurry or else they were all dead.
(In the head car)
Ao monitored the mission as she had the Imperial troops drive this rig. He was fortunate that brute of a crewmember had connections being former black ops but no doubt Kite will be angered for them starting the mission ahead of schedule without being fully prepared. "Hey boss." Came a voice of a white fang as Kuroido and Ao looked over to him and saw him looking to them. "They got on the rig." She said as Ao sighed in frustration. "Then grab cargo and get them off or I'm shooting you myself." Ao said as she hated dealing with people who can't understand the obvious solution to a problem like this.
"I will go assist." Kuroido said as he began following the Faunus.
"Be careful my lord as Lord Kiba's apprentice and possessing a valuable semblance if you die we will be targeted with spies." Ao said as Kuroido looked.
"Dying isn't on my agenda of things to do but if I do die I die in the glory of Lord Kiba and the Empire." Ao said before he began heading to deal with the pests.
(With Team GARO)
Team GARO Was running atop the rig heading to the head as they needed to hurry before they slam this tank like truck into the kingdoms walls. If that happens then they will be in the fight of their lives. As they ran Anya saw up ahead a group of enemies were coming torts them as she was wide eyed.
"We got baddies!" Anya called as Ruby cursed there luck.
"Great looks like they won't go easy on us." Ruby said as she pulled out Crescent Rose III ready to fight. "Well let's show them we aren't push overs and don't have time for them." Ruby said as everyone got what she said and nodded in agreement before drawing their weapons.
"Get the humans!" a Faunus from the white fang requirement area was there as he pointed at them and say, "Get those humans!" as the white fang, Imperial Troops, and blood knights advance.
Gurren was the first one up as he use his semblance to get in front of them quickly, as he punch and kick a few, one trooper charged at him.
(Slow-mo)
Gurren pointed his sheath sword and pull the trigger on Garo bullet to send the sword at the Imperial Trooper with the hilt hitting their guts and flew off the truck/tank trailer.
(Normal speed)
Garoken spin the air a bit before it came back down, Gurren grab it and sheath it back.
Omiko came up as she throw her disk at the white fang member as she took out her brush and fire a Makai energy bolt at a blood knight as he did a Wilhelm scream.
The disks themselves went a full 360 and hit all the people around Omiko before they return to her.
Rey jump in the fight with his semblance going with glyphs show all around as he jump from one to the next as he knocks away several people off as he came to the last guy he bounce off the last glyph as went into a corkscrew kick and said, "8 ball, corner pocket." (Cookie to who guess where this line is from?).
The kick landed and send the last guy flying out and off the trailer as the person scream.
Anya came last as she has her huntress weapon out as she cock a round in, she fire a round behind her as it sent her flying, as she hit the edge of the trailer on purpose to bend the scythe blade pointed up from the barrel and slide it across all of the enemies legs tripping them up and sending them off as well.
Kuroido came walking up and saw all of his troops and allies failing to get rid of the Makai team, as he frown and pull out his spear as he took a step back, he twist around and swing his spear down at a door that broke the lock and open the doors.
A Hand reach out and grab the edge top of the trailer before pulling itself up as too the look of it, it was an Ape like Grimm with a horror possessing it to the white of its eyes. "Wait guys I got this." Ruby said as she had her Scythe at the ready to fight the Gorilla like Grimm Horror Hybrid. "You three head bellow and stop this rig, Gurren your top side." Ruby said as she looked to her team before noticing Rago. "Oh and Rago, sick'em." Ruby ordered as when Rago heard the magic word from Ruby his Makai marks began to glow as his form began to change from that of a Makai Beast dog as he roared and barked
This was Rago's true form as he snarled at the Beast as he was ready to do what he trained to do since he could walk. Gurren smiled a bit before charging to the front of the Rig to stop said rig while his teammates went insid3 the rigs cargo hold.
(With Team ARO)
Anya, Rey, and Omiko arrived as they looked at the room as they saw the Cargo in the room as well as caged Grimm both normal and Hybrids. "Well here we are." Rey said as Silva chuckled.
"It doesn't matter what came before you know why your here." Silva said as she looked to her partner.
"Yeah Gold Flower but if we do fall here better make it showy." Eclipse said as she basically said go out with a bang.
"Thanks Eclipse." Anya said to her lazy Madou Ring.
"Here Omiko." Rey began as he passed a cartridge of Dust with Makai seals on it. "This should give you an edge." Rey said as Omiko nodded.
"Thanks." Omiko said as she loaded the dust into her weapons.
"Alright let's go." Anya said but when they made some steps forward there path was blocked by the Faunus from the CCT Tower as Anya looked. "Go on ahead she's mine." Anya said as Rey and Omiko nodded before running forward.
Oka was going to try and stop them but Anya attacked as Oka had to block with her pistols. "Sorry you got to deal with me first." Anya said with a smirk.
Oka glared before she jumped back and pointed her weapons at Anya ready to fight.
(With Rey and Omiko)
The two ran ahead as they were soon blocked by another person as it was a White Fang member with a chainsaw for an arm. "Omiko you go on ahead this guy will be after me." Rey said as Omiko nodded and ran the wall before passing the leader of the White Fang.
"It seems fate is on my side I get another chance to kill a Schnee." The man said as Rey smirked.
"I can point you to my grandfather if you want to kill a Schnee because when I die I'll be surrounded by the love and admiration of the Faunus." Rey said in a taunting way as he took his battle stance.
"Die!" They Psycho called out while swinging his weapon down. But Rey blocked it as sparks were created from the clash.
(With Gurren)
As Gurren knocked down the last of the opposition he soon saw Kiba's apprentice Kuroido looking torts him. "It looks like we meet again Golden Knight." Kuroido said as Gurren glared.
"It seems we have." Gurren said as he glared at the Umbra.
"It this will be like our last battle then you hold no hope of defeating my master." Kuroido said as Gurren took a battle stance.
"We'll have to see then don't we." Gurren said as he was ready for a fight.
"I suppose we should." Kuroido said as he took his battle stance.
Gurren and Kuroido charged at each other and swung there weapons at each out as the Garoken and the Zem Spear clashed against each other. Gurren slashed but Kuroido blocked to which Gurren pulled out he Garo Bullet and fired causing Kuroido to jump back to avoid the bullet. Gurren then charged forward with the Garoken in a defensive stance and the Garo Bullet atop it shooting as Kuroido spun his spear around to avoid the bullets.
Gurren then slide down and tried to throw off Kuroido's stance to which he jumped over and tried to attack Gurren. But Gurren teleported behind Kuroido and tried to slash him but Kuroido blocked. Gurren then teleported again and tried to slash from a different angle to which Kuroido had trouble blocking. Gurren began teleporting and hitting fast as it was similar to a hit and run tactic as Gurren was using his semblance to its full capacity. As Gurren slashed he finally got a few hits in as Kuroido jumped away and looked at the bleeding wound and smirked.
"My you've gotten better." Kuroido said with a smirk on his face as Gurren held the Garoken against his arm and slid it showing he was ready for more. "But I suppose we should dispense with the foreplay don't you?" Kuroido asked as he was ready to summon his armor once more.
Gurren was also ready as they needed to end this fight now and stop this truck from hitting Vale's walls. Gurren and Kuroido then cut open the portal as from those openings their armor came out and encased them once more as Gurren became Garo and Kuroido became Zem. "Gurren be careful this is Zem's first stage transformation if the armor starts glowing and changing form that's when you know he won't hold back anything." Zaruba warned as Garo nodded.
"Understood." Garo said as he slid the Garoken against his arm fin. The two then charged at each other and swung their weapons at each other as there fight began once more as there second round.
(With Omiko)
Omiko arrived at the head of the truck as she saw Ao there going over the data before turning to her. "Seems the Force of Destruction arrives right on schedule." Ao said as she looked to Omiko as said Faunus glared at his woman.
"I'm taking you down and then we'll find out everything we can about your little empire!" Omiko roared as Ao chuckled.
"Sorry ma'am but the Empire has been preparing for quite some time now especially since you kind had failed to kill the Empress before she sent the beacon over 33 years ago." Ao said as Omiko glared. "But you still have the chance to join the victorious side, we can teach you how to use your Semblance to its full capacity how to utilize its power to its full potential without relying on those restrictors you wear." Ao said as Omiko glared at the woman.
Omiko charged at Ao, as the Imperial Agent sighed at her before she brought out her gun and fired some rounds at the Makai priestess.
With Omiko, she brought out her disk put it in shield mode to block the incoming fire at her, as she got out another one and attach an energy line to it before throwing it at Ao.
The agent and the priestess both went at each other as Ao fired at Omiko head, she dodge it with ease as she swing her disk around, and hurled it at Ao with a kick to it as it was engulf in flames, with the provided dust by Rey.
Ao jumps away as the disk missed her, as it left a trail of flames around before vanishing, and then Omiko took out another disk and throws it as it came at her faster than the flame one did as it had a wind power to it as it.
The disk slam into Ao with her aura help her somewhat it still hurt like a bitch as she said, "That's it, no more playing Mrs. diplomacy."
Ao switch up her gun functions from to single, to rapid fire, as she took aim and fire upon the Faunus priestess, as she brought all of her disk together and form a barrier and block the bullets.
As Ao walk closer as she keep firing, Omiko quickly came up with a plan, and take an idea of her old mentor to the idea of something, as she adjust her disk with different elements, one with air, another with fire, and the last with her own power to give the attack she had plan with a kick.
All disk glowed as Ao saw this and said, "Oh… shit!"
All three sick shot out an element and or power, as air and fire mix creating a flaming twister with Omiko semblance added as it shot out with power as Ao quickly jump to one side of the cargo, as the attack blast through the container they were in and cause a bit of a problem outside.
(Garo and Zem)
As the two knight slash their weapon at each other, as they struggle to overpower the other, an explosion happen as they both look and witness beam of sort shooting out from one of the further container and hitting the ceiling ahead, as the truck driving under it, rocks and boulders began to drop down as they both got out of the dead lock and dodge the falling debris.
Zem slash the rock and stone away, as Garo teleported around and slashing the fall stuff as well as it came close to him.
"Seems your team might be in trouble." Zem called as he smiled from behind his helmet.
"They can handle themselves I have faith in them!" Garo called as he charged torts Zem slashing any debris out of his way with the Garoken before the weapons clashed once more.
"Personally I wonder why my master seems so intrigued with you Garo." Zem said before the two pushed each other back. "Out of everyone he and I have ever crossed paths with it was you who had peaked his interest. What is it with you, why is it that you seem to attract him both his respect, rivalry, and his fury?" Zem asked as Garo looked confused.
"I don't know perhaps it's because of Garo and Kiba themselves, or maybe we are bound to each other in a way beyond even our comprehension." Garo said as Zem chuckled before his eyes began to glow purple as he looked deep into Garo deeper than the darkness Garo tried so hard to lock away.
"What is that?" Zem asked as he saw it. Something was inside Gurren's soul something ancient and powerful and so similar to the one he had seen in his master when he came under his tutelage. It was just as powerful as the one within his master but complete opposites is this what drove the two to battle each other, these dormant primordial things inside them. Zem needed more answers as the only one who can provide are his master and the archives. Garo was confused as Zem seemed to be stricken with confusion before Garo charged forward getting a hit in on Zem who was forced to jump back to avoid it. "Whatever that thing is inside you Garo I will bring you and the Silver Eyes Wielder of Yaiba to my master even if it's in chains!" Zem roared as his armor began to convert and reform while releasing a violet glow. Soon Zem had taken a more Wolf Motif as Garo was shocked at this.
"Careful Gurren Zem has entered its true form!" Zaruba called as Zem Demon Form then charged at Garo with his spear. Garo blocked the attack as Zem was more powerful in this form making it difficult as he was being pushed. Garo was soon being pushed to the edge as with a burst of strength Zem threw Garo off the trucks as Garo was falling to the ground.
"GOUTEN!" Garo called as his Madou Horse appeared and caught its master as Garo was now riding Gouten next to the truck as Zem scoffed.
Zem then jumped off the truck himself knowing Garo was too stubborn to give up so easily. "DARIO!" Zem invoked as his own Madou Horse appeared and caught its master as the two Knight began a horse back battle.
(With Rey)
Rey jumped back as he avoided the attack from Chainsaw psycho as this guy now leader of the White Fang was being a pain in his ass. "Geez don't you guys watch the news I'm the leader of Zero Black Blood worldwide Faunus Rights supporters. Hell two of my bandmates and buds are Faunus, and my mom was looked up to by the Faunus after telling off my dick wad of a grandfather." Rey said as he held the Zero Blades in his common reverse grip.
"Zero he's a diehard White Fang Supporter and their leader, he's rather see all humans wiped out for its evil instead of looking to the good they have done as well. Plus killing a Schnee has been a sort of rite of passage for these guys." Silva said as Zero growled knowing the orders laws prevent him from harming a human or Faunus.
"Any suggestions on how to take him down?" Rey asked as he avoided a chainsaw swipe from the guy.
"Well you could try winging it like you usually do," Silva said as Rey took a moment as he said, "Winging it, hu?"
The Makai knight ducked under the chainsaw it as was swing at his head, as Rey said, "Okay, a little winging, and here the first part."
Rey swing his sword around at his side, but not wide enough to summon his armor, but the gauntlet of them as they encase his hand and arms, with his sword change as well, as the chainsaw came down at him, Rey put up his arms and block it, as the chain of the saw grid against it with the sparks flying.
The guy was laughing as he push down on his chainsaw more and more as Rey went down on his knees with Silva saying, "Rey!"
"Just a bit… more," Rey said in a low tone as the guy put push down with all of his weight and strength as he said, "Prepared to meet your maker when you die Schnee!"
The chainsaw was soon turning red hot as the chainsaw maniac white fang member keep pushing as Rey resisted against him, and then-
SNAP!
"AHHH!" The white fang member cry out in pain as the chain from his chainsaw broke off as with the guy focusing in his aura on his strength it left his wide open of his defense as the chain broke off and cut up the Faunus around his body.
Dropping his weapon and to his kneels still in pain as his aura trying to heal him, as Rey raise up with a smile on his face and said, "Soul metal beats any kind, any day." Tapping his armor glove with his sword and show there not a scratch on them as Silva said, "So that was your plan."
"Well it's better for them to them to hurt themselves than me," Rey said as he kick the Faunus guy in the head knocking him out and went head to catch up to Omiko and see if she needs help with anything with that explosion from before, he can worry.
(Omiko)
Omiko was taking a break with her disk being a bit scorch by her attack, they went back to normal as she brought them back to her side other than one, as she walk up to Ao as she got a bit of a burn, and maybe a tan from that attack as her body was smoking a bit and her grunting in pain.
Ao looks up at Omiko as she said, "You could have been something… something wonderful to the empire… we could have helped you."
"No more help than you would have to everyone else, just a slave to serve," Omiko said as she knew they were just treat her like they are treating the white fang, a tool to be used for their own end.
Rey showed up as he walk into the container and said, "Hey Omiko." As the cat Faunus turn to her teammate as he said, "Beaten my guy, and it looks like you did so as well."
"Yes, but we need to get to the head and stop this transport now," Omiko said but then sunlight shine down through the open of the container as it show they were out of the tunnel as Ao gave a laugh.
Both knight and priestess looked to the Imperial Agent as she said, "It's too late, the doors are shut and locked up tightly to the rig, and in a few moment, we will be knocking down the walls of Vale very soon."
"Damn we need to grab Anya and get top side." Rey said as Omiko nodded.
"What about her?" Omiko asked as Rey looked.
"Restrain her make sure she gets out of this she has answers we need." Rey said as Omiko nodded and used her Spells to restrain her and surround her in a barrier. "Come on!" Rey called as Omiko ran after Rey to catch up to him.
(With Anya)
Anya was slashing with her scythe as Oka countered with her guns as the Guns were in Melee mode. Anya then grabbed her sniper and fired it at Oka who dodged out of the way. Anya then clamped her weapons together allowing the rifle to wrap around the head of the scythe before she then shot as it allowed her to better use her mother's combat style with Crescent Rose. Oka jumped out of the way as Anya looked and was wide eyed as she was hit by a powerful explosive which knocked her back hard as she slid on the ground on her back and hit a metal box knocking herself out. Anya looked and saw Oka walking over to Anya ready to restrain her as she was wondering why Oka just didn't kill her instead.
Soon a powerful slash was seen as Anya looked and saw a woman with long black hair and a Grimm Mask as judging by her appearance she belonged to a clan of the Makai where the Phantom Knights and Shadow Slashers were aligned with. Anya looked and wondered if that was Raven that Grand Uncle Qrow and Grandpa Tai would talk about from time to time. Soon another familiar being appeared as she was wearing the same clothing she wore at the docks last Semester as she pulled out a long katana and sent a slash at Oka who got out of the way and in turn escaped.
"Thanks for the heads up." The Kabuki masked leader of the Black Claw said as the woman nodded.
"I was simply in the area and you were the closest who could help." The woman said as she sounded like an ass. "Yes I have seen you visit Yang's son from time to time." The kabuki masked woman said as she huffed and opened a path with her weapon. "Best leave now I'll send you back to your cohorts." The masked woman said as the Kabuki looked.
"Just give me a moment or two." The Kabuki masked woman said as she walked over to Anya. The woman kneeled to Anya as she was still out of it as the woman put her hand to Anya's face as she made a sound like she was smiling. "You do look a lot like your mother at that age Anya, make sure Omiko knows that if she ever needs me I'll be there for her." The woman said before standing up and going through the portal. The portal closes as the masked woman then opened another one and went through as Anya was very out of it.
"Anya!" Came Rey and Omiko's voice was heard as Anya began to get her bearing again as she looked to her teammates.
"What's wrong?" Anya asked as Rey looked.
"We have to jump ship fast the truck is about to slam right into the wall." Rey said as Omiko then spoke.
"We need to regroup and get top side otherwise we're pretty much dead." Omiko said as Anya nodded.
"Alright let's go." Anya said as the trio plus two Madou's began heading to the roof of this rig.
(With Garo vs Zem)
Garo and Zem were riding side by side as they slashed their weapons at each other. Zem attempted a slash to the side as Garo jumped over it and was now standing on Goutens back before he slashed at Zem who leaned back and avoided the attack. Garo then guided Gouten to the front before pulling a very sharp U-turn and had Gouten running backwards as Garo swung his weapon at Zem as the two were in quiet the battle. "You have gotten better!" Zem called as they struggled for strength. "You would have made a powerful Umbra Knight." Zem said as Garo chuckled.
"I'm happy being with the Makai as Garo." Garo countered as Garo then backed off and with Gouten jumped back onto the rig. Zem also followed as the two were now at opposite sides of the Rig as it looked like they were about to joust. Gouten reared back and slammed its hooves on the roof creating a dent as the Garoken entered its Zanbakto form as Garo pointed the sword at Zem. Zem pointed his cross tipped spear at Garo as this was more and more like a joust then anything. The two Madou Horses then charged at each other as it the two had their weapons pointed at each other trying to defeat the other as they lacked shields so it was an all or nothing game of chicken.
As the two knight got closer and closer to each as it seem they were going to kill each other until Garo whips on Gouten reins, a the madou horse gave a neigh, it jump into the air, flew over Zem and his madou horse as the knight looks up, as Garo swing his sword down at him, getting a direct hit on him at his side.
Hit hard and almost flew off as the rein on his madou horse got pull over with him, tripping up his horse as well as it falls down and with Zem on that side, as the knight and horse both ate dirt as it crash and skid on the desert ground.
Garo knew his job was done and now it was time for him to stop this rig from crashing into Vale walls as he quickly turn around his madou horse and when full speed, as Zaruba said, "WE got less than 20 seconds."
Garo saw the rig isn't stopping anytime soon and it's getting closer to the wall that was ahead, as he look to the rig and said, "That plenty of time for me."
Garo rode to the side of the rig and started to slash the wheels of each container as he went up the line.
(Ruby)
Ruby ducked under the Grimm/horror and fire some Makai enhance dust bullets at the ape creature, as it backed away from it, being hurt by the rounds but also irritated by them, as the ape Grimm/horror slam down on the container below it sending a wave of force and metal as it hit at Ruby, thrown off her feet before landing on her back hard and groin.
The ape creature roar out as it bangs it chest and then charged at Ruby, as she lay a bit helpless trying to recover from that hit, the ape Grimm/horror was upon her as it was about to slam its massive hand against her, her eyes widen as it seem she was about to meet her end.
As the first came down, as Ruby close her eyes not wanting to watch her own death, but then the entire rig shakes throwing the ape hybrid off balance and missed ruby.
Dent the metal container as Ruby looked at it before back at the ape before she put her feet to its chest and kicks up with all of her strength, throw it off as it walks back, and then the rig shakes again throwing its balance off again, as Ruby quickly grab her weapon and fire round behind her while using her semblance as trail of rose petals were left behind, ruby ran up to the ape hybrid and cut it at its waste finishing it off.
AS the ape vanish in a darkness and leaving behind a seal dagger as Ruby quickly grab it and put it in her small pouch she had on her as she said, "That done."
The rig shakes once more as Ruby kneel down to make sure she stayed balance as she said, "What is that?"
Ruby looks off to the side and then she saw Garo on Gouten riding up the rig and slashing away the tires on the side he's on, with little time he has, throwing the rig off balance to make it premature crash.
Of course not everything was on their side as the rig tipped and slid across the ground as with the speed it had picked up it wasn't going to stop even as parts of it fell off.
The rig soon hit the wall hard as Ao had taken precautions to set up bombs and it was then that they blew up sky high as for Team GARO it was all white with a ringing noise in their ears as those in their armor were forced out of said armor from the blunt trauma.
(Later)
Gurren began to come too as he looked around confused as he held his head in pain. It then came back to him as he looked around and saw his team injured but alive as Rey had a bit of a limp while Omiko did a few healing spells on her teammates to help them. Finally Anya looked to her brother and gave a thumbs up as they were ok.
They soon heard the Grimm Alarms as soon from the Rig the captured Grimm shot out as they were finally free of those cages. With them the Hybrids jumped out as they were few in numbers as they all roared causing g people to run in panic.
(At a Nearby Warehouse)
Mercury and Emerald saw the news as they were wide eyed at this. It was happening again and they knew their son was probably going to fight.
"Mercury." Emerald began as she walked over to an old chest where she kept her combat gear.
"Suit up?" Mercury asked as he was lucky to get some good parts to fix his legs a bit.
"I was going to say for you to stay here but your plan works also." Emerald said knowing Kuro will be out there as Emerald changed into her combat uniform with the added bonus of a mask and hood to hide herself.
"Got it." Mercury said as they may be wanted criminals and fugitives but they be damned if their son went through this alone.
(At New Beacon)
Arka and Team ARRK were in their dorm room as they were all sleeping before her phone began to vibrate. Arka ignored it but it then began to ring loudly as Arka panicked as she shot up and grabbed it. She looked at it and found it was from Gurren but when she answered she was met with explosions before the call ended.
(Later)
The Team were all suited up as Arka's gut was telling her that there was trouble big time. "I'm sure your over reacting Arka Team GARO hasn't failed a mission yet." Raiden said as Rena then spoke.
"Probably just a butt dial." Rena said as she skipped.
"Cautious." Kuro said as he followed his team making sure he had his hood up which was weird since he covers his head everywhere even to be and the showers. But Kuro sided with Arka using his one or two word replies as they went to the airship.
"We're just going to take a detour and check in on GARO better safe than sorry." Arka said before they saw the smoke in town as it was rising to the sky before being followed by alarms that Rena covered her ears to. Arka looked to her team as it was evident she was right. "You were saying you two?" Arka asked as the two were silent. "Anyway new mission everyone we're heading to the city so get on the airship!" Arka called as everyone got on.
"Always next time then." Raiden said as they boarded the bulwark.
(With KIBA)
Kite saw what was happening as he glared at this as Aphrodite, Icarus, and Bethany were all shocked. "What but shouldn't this be happening in a few weeks?" Aphrodite said as Kite knew something had happened.
"They were forced to advance the schedule." Kite said as he saw the smoke rising from the city. "Suit up everyone today we're going to be Huntsmen and Huntresses." Kite said as they headed to their dorm to gather their gear.
(Meanwhile at the city)
Gurren, Anya, Rey, and Omiko had their weapons drawn as they were surrounded as they couldn't offers to hold back. The Knights summoned their armors becoming Garo, Zero, and Yaiba as Omiko held her disks unaware to one of her restrictors being damaged.
The hybrid and normal Grimm's came charging in at the group as Zero step up and summon glyphs and went zigzagging around cutting down both hybrids and Grimm's.
The hybrid with wings took flight quickly as they try and get a quick meal but Garo teleport up to them cutting their wings as they fell and cut them down quickly as he could, with Ruby has her scythe in sniper mode and shot them down as well.
Yaiba flame flash-step around cutting down any Grimm or hybrid that were coming at her or coming down from her brother and mothers actions, cutting off some heads of some and dice up the bodies of others.
Omiko throw her disk at the incoming hybrids and Grimm's that Zero and Yaiba were able to scattered so they won't coming in force, using an energy line to one of the disk and swing it around and kicked many that was around, using her brush and fire bolt at the few she didn't hit.
When one hybrid from the sky flew down at her, as she spotted this, quickly raise her hand and use her semblance to blow it up, and that she did, with a bigger bang than normal. Omiko was shocked at this as she always kept close eyes on her explosions as she looked at her restrictors and to her shock one of them was damaged as she began to hyper ventilate again. She was assaulted by flashbacks of her home and the crater after words with her at ground zero. She remembered it the cries and the silence. "GAUH!" Zero's voice was heard as Omiko saw and she saw a Nevermore Hybrid had him in its mouth as it swung him around as it began to fly away with Zero stabbing into it to force it to let him go.
"REY!" Omiko called as the restrictor snapped off as she raised her hand before a Glyph appeared in it as an identical one appeared on the Nevermore. The Nevermore was wide eyed before it exploded as it was in a controlled way that didn't harm Zero but destroyed the Nevermore. Zero yelled as he then landed on a car on his back denting and totaling said car as Omiko was shocked.
"Ok I'll probably feel that in the morning." Zero said as Silva couldn't help but chuckle at her partner's misfortune.
Omiko looked at her hand in shock as she willed it and the Glyph appeared once more as she saw the other restrictors were still online. Omiko began to smile as she then pointed the glyph at a Death Stalker as an identical one appeared on it causing it to explode as well. Omiko smiled wildly as now after all these years she was beginning to master her Semblance at long last.
With Garo he roared at the Hybrids and Grimm as he released a slash of green flames upon his opponents as it wiped out many of them with one fell swoop while the smarter ones jumped over it. Garo jumped up and slashed through the airborne ones with ease as his silver eyes glared upon the dark creatures with a snarl.
"Well at least we go down fighting." Garo said to himself before a roar was heard as everyone looked and saw Rena coming in with her War Axe like a meteor as she laughed a bit.
"OFF WITH ITS HEAD!" She roared as she chopped off the head of a Nevermore that was air born and as she came down chopped off the head of an Ursa as she laughed like an insane woman as she was clearly having fun. A Bulwark landed as from it the rest of Team ARK came out as Arka took charged.
"Let's go!" Arka called out as she and Kuro ran forward intent on ending this breach here.
Raiden walked forward casually with his full cyber armor as he had his eyes closed as it was apparent he was calm even in this situation. "I am... thunder." He began as he then opened his eyes as his sword unsheathed itself awaiting his hand. "I am... the rain transformed." He said as the visor soon covered his eyes as it was apparent he wasn't holding back as he then grabbed his sword and simply walked passed some Grimm.
As he did the Grimm fell apart into tiny pieces as if one had the eye they would have seen what Raiden had done.
(Instant Replay)
Raiden walked passed them slowly and the minute he pulled his sword out he had slashed through them faster than the speed of light as when he passed them they were already falling apart before they realized what had happened.
(End Reply)
Kuro was using his assortment of weapons he kept hidden as he used shot gun boots when a Grimm got to close and switched to his guns as he slashed and shot at multiple Grimm who came at him. Kuro then revealed a hidden knife in his sleeves as under them was gauntlets that the knives came out of as he stabbed a few Grimm in the necks killing them instantly as clearly wasn't showing mercy. As he did his eyes were more eagle like as he saw how and when they are about to attack and act accordingly.
His Semblance allowed him time to see and look around as his heart beat increases and plan out his tactic which was why he was Team ARRK's tactician. Though his skill may have made him more valuable to Atlas Specialist Academy then New Beacon but even he couldn't get the money to study in another Kingdom. Soon more bullets were fired as Kuro looked and saw atop a building was a head of green hair and a head of grey as he smiled seeing a familiar face in them.
The two waved at him before they ran to keep handling more of the Grimm. Kuro prayed to whatever God he could that his parents didn't get caught seeing as they were still hiding from the law to get away from their past. Kuro then released his weapons blades before he swung them around that would have made his namesake proud of him as if anything Kuro would have made an excellent Makai Knight to a familiar chain sword wielding Knight.
Arka was running through the battle as she used her semblance to quickly handle the weaker ones as she was getting the hang of it as now she can use nearby plants to aid her if the Grimm got to close to them. "Ok who's my opponent?" Arka said before she felt a loud crash behind her of something landing as she turned around and saw a huge Ursa behind her as it was clearly an Alpha as she was wide eyed at this. The Ursa roared at Arka causing her hair to get blown as she gathered her resolve.
"Ok, no problem my dad did this twice at my age and mom did it before she was my age no problem and no pressure." Arka said as the Grimm was ready to attack.
Arka quickly charged in as the Grimm leaped at her, as Arka rev-up her blade at the center glows red, swing it out at the Grimm and cut it down the middle, as it split into two as each side falls while fading away.
Arka smile at this as she made a good kill, and soon enough she saw an Ursa hybrid in front of her as she said, "Oh come on."
As the hybrid was about to attack her, then suddenly a huge broad sword from behind stab the hybrid through and to the look of it that Arka know very well, a red blade that big and that color, she can guess who it is.
As the sword slash through the hybrid, and turn into a dark miss, behind the horror, Makai knight Gaia, her father, as Arka is happy and surprise to see him as she said, "Dad?"
"Hey princess," Gaia said to her, before anyone can say anything else, Gaia turn around quickly and cut down a Grimm that try to come up from behind him, from the looks of him year of being a knight and a father, he gotten better in combat, as it seem a lot about him change.
Gaia turn around to his daughter, and suddenly with a trash can that got knocked over, a banana pile fell down in front of Gaia, without him noticing, he step out in, and slips back on his back, with his shield opening up on its own… okay not much has change, as Arka worry about her dad and ran to him to help him up.
Professor Emma, with a cup of pudding in her hand as she give had a spoon full and ate it before giving a sigh though her nose, as she put away the spoon and pulled out a strange sword with spikes on one side. As Beowolves and hybrids came charging at her, she ship her sword around as it seem the blade broke apart into smaller pieces of blades, with a metal core holding them together as it reach out further than it did before, slashing all the Grimm and hybrids away, before her sword went back to a normal state.
Bump the side of her sword's hand, a spoon pop out from the bottom before she dips it in the pudding and take another spoon full as she ate it and gives a shrug.
Garo was taken a breather as teleporting around does drain him, and he was running and fighting all night long but keep strong as he slash one hybrid down with a grim side beside it, then from behind a Grimm that leap in the air at him, as Garo took a bit to turn around, before he could hit it, a rock came flying out of nowhere and hit the Grimm in its head killing it.
Garo is surprise by this, and soon enough a barrage of stone and rock shot out around him hitting every Grimm and hybrid there is as he then turn and standing there with his spear in his hand was Beret as had a finger to his earing as he casted a spell that make all stone and rock fly around Garo to assist him.
"Uncle Beret," Garo said as Beret raise his spear up in the air and summon his white armor as he said, "That Makai knight Dan to you, now retreat back to recover. I'll handle this."
Garo nods as he teleported away, and as he did, Dan with his eyes saw the teleporting ability as he copy it, and then put it to work.
Teleporting behind some hybrids and did a rapid thrust attack, catching them off guard, as when the still alive ones turn around, Dan vanish before appearing above them and against rapid thrust at them cutting them down, before teleporting again to the center of the rest and did a 360 spin slash and cut down the rest around.
Professor Shikaku Slot walking around tiredly while holding his sword behind his back as he said, "You Grimm's woke me up, at a bad time."
As the Grimm's came at him he slash at them quickly, before taking out a few that were further away from his with shot from his gun blade, and stab one in between its eyes as he gives a yawn. "Good grief what a Drag." He yawned out as he hated hard work. He preferred brains any day.
Nearby Onyx and Xin stepped out as Onyx walked around with his hands in his pockets. "So looks like even when we avoid them stuff still blows up with monster." Onyx said as Xin nodded.
"Well there goes a normal day." Xin said as it was like Vale was cursed with people like Team GARO.
Soon they heard airships as they looked up and saw Atlas Airships as the ships flew in to provide air support. Onyx and Xin were shocked as they did not expect that.
(Zero)
Zero looked up and looked closely and saw his Aunts new flag ship as he was wide eyed. "Oh crap." Zero cursed with fear as his Aunt can be a bit over bearing especially when he was sent the warning from Weiss and how Winter now knows about his father's "family business."
"I pity you Zero. At least Whitley or your grandfather aren't here." Silva said as Zero cringed.
"Ok overbearing Aunt, tool of an uncle, or asshole of a grandfather... I'll take the tool, then the Aunt, and end with the Grandfather if I make it." Zero said as the ships flew.
(In the ship)
Winter was really annoyed right now. She missed the chance to see her nephew so she can chew him out about his dangerous extra circular activities, then she would praise him for fighting the fight very few other can, then whack him over the head with how he should practice his Glyphs more before being a Makai Knight.
"Target the Known Grimm leave the irregular ones to the men in armor." Winter ordered as she knew the Hybrids can be handled by the Makai Knights.
"Yes ma'am." The Soldier responded as Winter did a glare at the Grimm.
(On the Ground)
Yaiba slashed through Grimm and Hybrids as she wasn't holding back on them. Soon a large Grimm came at her before it was shot by the ships as Yaiba waved at it before regrouping with Garo.
"Bro time for a bit of horse back." Yaiba said as Garo nodded.
The two then took a running start as they were ready. GOUTEN/AKATSUKI!" They both called as they summoned their Madou Horses next to them running as the two jumped on before the Horses could pass them.
The two then began cutting their way through the Horrors as this gave them a major edge in combat.
Dan saw this as it has been a while for him since he had last summoned it. Dan stabbed a Grimm in the face before jumping up and calling it. "HAYATE!" He called as the white Madou Horse appeared and Dan landed on its saddle before he began riding and fighting the Grimm and Hybrids.
"RAUH!" Came an angry roar as Dan looked and saw his wife as her prosthetic arm was in its gun form full burst as clearly she was pissed since her hair was on fire and eyes red. (Her gun is the one Baird has in Final Fantasy VII Advent Children)
"I HOPE YOU'RE ALL HUNGRY!" She roared before punching a Grimm square in the face causing its entire upper body to explode.
"Looks like the haircut yesterday really pissed her off." Goruba said knowing Yang's hair was getting to long so they convinced her to get a haircut which Beret had to give knowing Yang would probably level the barber shop and a few surrounding building and about 3 city blocks. (Long story don't ask)
The Grimm vanishing corpse landed before team KIBA as Kite shouldered his weapon while he looked to Icarus, Aphrodite, and Bethany as they nodded and acted. Icarus fired and slashed at the Grimm in his silent way as when he speaks prophesy happens. Aphrodite used her tonfa weapons and slashed away the Grimm as well as fired at them.
Bethany pulled out her sword and activated its function which it was now releasing a beam like energy around it once she had it open from down the middle. She slashed at the Grimm delivering clean slices before switching to its gun form and fired the same energy from her beam as a range weapon.
Kite walked calmly knowing that Ao must have had a good reason for acting early. Mainly because he didn't see any Umbra in the area. Kite then slashed at the Grimm with his sword before bashing on to the ground as he walked over to it with his weapon in gun mode. "Vanish." He said before shooting it in the face.
Kite always found the Grimm went easy on him when he needed them to. It was odd to say the least and when he needed to get stronger or someone else they attack accordingly. Kuroi once mentioned a primal force seems to drive those torts Kite specifically like a pet to its master.
Kite would figure it out later as he slaughtered the Grimm like those who cross him.
(With Ruby)
Ruby was cornered as she didn't seem worried as soon from the building Rago jumped down and growled at them. "Sick'em." Ruby ordered as Rago began mauling the Grimm and Hybrids as they tried but failed to stop him.
Rago returned and swallowed a Hybrids head as he then sat down and panted still in battle mode. "Oh who's my good Horror murder Weapon? You are yes you are." Ruby gushed at Zwei's heir.
Soon a bulwark flew buy as the members of Team CHLT had returned from their away mission as they looked down ready for slaughter.
The leader Chocolate Adel a nephew to fashion Queen Coco jumped down wearing a punk style of designer cloths as he lowered his hat a bit as with him is a certain Lion Faunus while the other two was a very large man with a big fat cannon as his weapon which should have broken under its own weight ages ago while his combat uniform was that of a disgraced Knight or guardian. With him was a silent red head as his arms were covered in chains as he even had chains hanging off his pants and as he was clearly a dog Faunus.
These two were Titan Juggernaut and Hades "Hell Hound," Reaper.
The Faunus looked timid but her clothing was that of a savage amazon as she suffered from duel personalities. The kind timid girl was called Mercy while the other was called Wrath for this Faunus was Linda Leo as Mercy Linda was the medicine for their group but Wrath Linda was a woman who would make Kenpatchi fall heads over heels for her.
Titan was surrounded by Grimm as the grabbed his cannon and opened it up revealing a very large blade to which he then did a spin attack getting good rid of an entire pack of Beowolfs before pointing said weapon in its cannon mode and firing releasing a large beam of dust blasting a Grimm leaving behind its legs.
Hades pulled his chairs as for him they were more while like and stabbing through the chest as his weapon was a dark cross like weapon which he then swung releasing a chain whip infused with dust from it as he was truly living up to his name sake as he was ever silent.
Linda hid a bit helping the injured get away as once they were Chocolate walked up. "Nice job Hades bit don't be afraid to cut loose a bit more next time." He said to Hades as Chocolate looked much like Josuke Kujo from Stardust Crusaders as he put his gauntlet weapons Star Platinum on.
Chocolate looked at the Death Stalker with a glare as he lifted his hat a bit. "Good grief you destroyed my Aunts first designer Clothing Store." He said as he clenched his fists. "You're about to die." He said to the Grimm before striking. His gauntlets then released a symbol as time stopped in Chocolates eyes. Chocolate then sent a flurry of powerful fast punches at the Grimm utterly destroying it. "How troublesome it wasn't an alpha." He said as more Grimm came at him. Star Platinum soon began to release elements like Earth and Fire as he sent more punches at the Grimm switching to a random element with each punch.
"ORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!" Chocolate called out with each punch sent at the Grimm at high speed and precision.
Chocolate then avoided a Gorilla like Grimm as he then looked to Linda who looked worried and timid as clearly Mercy was in control. "Linda let Wrath out for a bit of fun. No doubt she's screaming for some action right now." Chocolate said as he lowered his hands to his pocket.
"Are you sure?" Linda asked as chocolate look to her and said, "I'm pretty sure, with the situation." He gave a Creep Grimm a punch to its face sending it back.
Linda nods before closing her eyes and focus on her other self, as she started to take breaths starting slow before going heavy on it, her heart rate started to rise as Linda hears a growl within her own head.
Her eyes open and they looking dilated, as her facial expression now looking more frenzy, as Linda let out a roar as she started to change somewhat, as her hair started to go wild and standing up as two clumps of hair stood the same to each other like a hair of horn, the look of her aura that was once looking peaceful now looking like a bloodlust.
A once shy looking Faunus girl now replace with a crazy looking one as she said in a growl, "Let get this party started!" reaching from behind and put her hand into something.
Linda's arm brace started to change up to her hands with 4 claw on each hang, moving with her fingers as she gave a smile and charged at the Grimm.
Slice up many beowolves, and some Ursa, as it seem she is an uncontrollable killing machine of the Grimm as she yells, "HA-HA-HA! This is what I am born for!"
Nearby as Jade witness the Faunus she bully in school sometimes, is going ham on the Grimm and her jaw was dropped. Needless to say Jade is never going to bully this one ever again in fear of her own life.
Back to the whole fight as the knight cut down the hybrids, and the hunters taking care of the Grimm with soldiers backing them up, things were still up against everyone, but from a roof top a figure stood, as the figure came into a better view, Mato stood there look down at the battle that was going on as he said, "Ready to engage." As blade spring out from his arms, he jump down and join the fray.
Down below as a little girl that got caught up in everything, backed away against a wall as a Beowolf Grimm walked up to the girl and show its teeth as it seem it was about to eat her, she scream as the wolf Grimm shot a claw a her, but then suddenly-
THUD!
Mato landed on top of it, killing it instant, as the Madou android look back to the girl and said, "Move along civilian, this is not a place for you."
The girl nodded and she ran to a safer area, Mato turn back the fight as many Grimm stood in front of him, including a few hybrids as they all growl at him, as the android stood ready and said, "Grimm, and horrors, I will cut your Inga down. By those who protect, I shall do the same."
Mato went at it with the Grimm going at the same time, slash and cut down any Grimm that came near him, even stab a hybrid through its heart before pulling out and jump in the air with a spin to cut off its head, as soon as he landed, the hybrid vanish and the android went off running to help others.
(With Gaia)
Gaia was slashing at many Grimm and Hyrbids as he glared at them before a familiar metal spear stabbed one as from behind the Grimm Pyrrha appeared as she then summoned her Fall Maiden Power and released a powerful burst of magic creating a bit of a hurricane as the Grimm were torn apart. "Glad to see you're ok Jaune." Pyrrha said as Gaia reverted to Jaune who was sheepish.
"Yeah though I did slip of a banana peel." Jaune said causing Pyrrha to giggle as she shot another Grimm with her weapon in Rifle mode.
"Well let's make up for that then." Pyrrha said as the two then slashed at an enemy behind their significant other and then began a sort of arm link/back to back battle style as Jaune wished Nora and Ren were here, at least Nora would have a good time.
(With Glynda)
At the busted up wall Glynda was walking torts it as she was clearly pissed off as she looked to have been busy with something and this all happened. Next time she send a team to investigate something it's going to be a stealth team. She used her Madou Brush to bash away any Grimm or Hybrids as clearly she wasn't putting up with this. As she walked to the wall she pointed her Riding Crop at it with her free hand and channeled her Semblance into it and began repairing the wall as she intended on keeping any more undesirable foes from getting in anytime soon. Once the wall was sealed no more Grimm or Hyrbids could get through as of now Vale was now going through clean up.
"This better be worth it in the end." Glynda said knowing that this was to close a call. She just hoped THAT wasn't taken from the old school.
(Later after clean up)
The Atlas Soldiers with the Vale Soldiers were handling clean up as they brought in any White Fang they found but so far found no sign of any of those Umbra Guys as even Ao and Kuroido had vanished. Gurren looked around and saw that they had in fact escaped as he knew one thing this would not be the last they see of Kiba's lackeys not by a long shot.
Aphrodite smiled at the guys as many of them gushed at her beauty as Icarus was silent as ever. With them Bethany read her book as Kite was nowhere to be seen as the White Fang were being brought in.
(Scene Break that morning New Beacon)
Team GARO were overlooking the sun rise as they watched as the city was getting repaired after the incident this morning as it was official the Makai Team was exhausted beyond counting. Yeah finding a Makai Knight exhausted after a night of Horror hunting that is when you know he's had a long day or night in some cases.
"Well we won." Anya said as she watched the sun set.
"Yeap." Omiko said as Rey laid back as Rago was sitting with them in his Corgi form.
"Yeah it's been one of those days and nights." Rey said as he laid back to relax or try to relax.
"Yeah... too bad we won't be getting extra credit." Gurren said as Omiko was summoning her explosion Glyph to try and get a feel for it.
"Yeah two headed snake growing arms and a third eye crushed a bakery." Zaruba said as Gurren looked deep in thought.
"Well we put a lot of White Fang behind bars and saved the city even if we didn't find out everything." Anya said as Rey sat back up.
"Yeah well we still need to investigate then because if mom taught me anything that events like this always need a neat and tidy ending so no loose ends." Rey said as Anya smiled and laid down.
"Yeah go team go us rah, rah yeah go GARO." Anya said as Omiko yawned.
"So... bed time?" Omiko said as Rey was about to get up for bed.
"Yes please." Rey said but soon felt his ear snagged as he yelped as Winter grabbed him by the Ear. "Owowowowowow!" He cried as Winter seemed very displeased about something. Rey then remembered his mom's text which meant over bearing Aunt was pissed.
"Rey come with me we need to talk NOW!" Winter roared as she began dragging Rey away by his ear as he looked to his team.
"Guys help! Please!" Rey called as Anya and Omiko simply waved at him saying he was on his own with family disputes. "YOU GUYS SUCK!" He called as he was dragged away.
"Well I'm going to bed then sleep tight everyone." Anya said as Omiko followed.
"Wait for me!" Omiko called as Gurren then turned.
"Go on without me I just have things to sort through right now." Gurren said as Anya nodded before leaving to the dorms.
As Gurren was alone he remembered the words Kuroido spoke as he was confused wondering what had hidden itself inside him that it went so many years without being detected. Gurren moved his left arm to his chest as he tried to see if he can feel the being within but was only met with his own heartbeat, breathing, and soul. It was soon footsteps were heard as the man they belonged to seemed to use a Soul Metal Sword as a can as the smell of coffee was in the air.
"A Lien for your thoughts young Garo?" Came a very familiar voice was all know and love.
"Depends can you give me the answers I need?" Gurren asked as the man chuckled.
"Depends on what the question is then." The man said as Gurren looked and saw a Madou Ring on his left middle finger and a pair of glasses with silver hair on his head.
Gurren turns back to the sunset as he wondered what his life had in store and what his future was. "In a recent battle an enemy saw into my soul and found something that I didn't even know was there, he called it something primal but powerful something that is using the darkness in me to hide but also keep it at bay... I just don't know what to think on it because I find myself wondering if that thing there is something that could be something cataclysmic to Remnant." Gurren said as the man sighed.
"Hmm seems the only way one can learn is to look to the past and I know just the place to begin such learning." The man said as Gurren looked. "And it's Beacon Academy the original one." He said as Gurren was shocked as he looked to the man as he held a cup of Coffee with the original Beacons Symbol on it as he was shocked.
"Allow me to introduce myself Mr. Seijima I'm Professor Ozpin former Headmaster of Beacon Academy." Ozpin said as Eruba then spoke.
"And he's also the Flash Knight Lord." Eruba said as Gurren was shocked to be before a legend and a veteran Knight.
"...Oh." Gurren said as Zaruba chuckled knowing front he start but knew Gurren needed to learn some new lessons.
(TBC)
ESKK: Ok people let me say this to start next time we will see one of the Four Relics of the Two Brothers. Now then as I continue the next chapter will probably be a World of Remnant telling of the two Deity Brothers and the bloody legacy they leave behind. Now then until next time leave a review on your way out and like always Ja Ne.
