"Well I lost my arm." Asura said. "WHAT!" Jaune yelled in shock. "Yeah see the tattoo." Asura said pointing to the mark on his arm. "That's where I got it cut off by Ruby." Jaune just gave a look of what the fuck to Asura. Asura told the story from the rail system to the underground ruins that held the excavators and explorers as prisoners. "So then you basically hijacked a war ship that was probably an ancient artifact and rode it down a mountain and stole it for yourself?" Pyrrha asked. "Yup!" Ruby said eating a cookie. "Well it sees like that journey was fun. Will you be taking us on one Asura?" Ren asked. "Well I was going to but it was hard to find anything for RWBY to do so I wonder what I'll have to do for an interesting one." Asura said scratching his cheek. "Well you are gonna have a strict schedule. The king ordered us in Hearth to meet him and when we did he said he needs you to go meet him immediately." Athena said chugging down a drink from her favorite mug. "Well you know what that means. JNPR get you shit together we're going on an adventure… I hope."
*Conveniently place time skip*
Asura and his new adventure group stood outside the gates to the grand castle. "So what do you think the king wants?" Pyrhha asked. "If the old man wants me I'd say it's for some stupid political run or something." Asura said. The guards checked them all and let them in and escorted them to the throne room. In the massive throne room an old man with a cragged face and blue eyes sat in the throne. "Asura is that you my boy?" He asked. "Who else could look as great as me? Your looking good yourself, not a day over 100." Asura said laughing. "Ahh the same old Asura. An ass like no other." The king said before laughing with his deep voice. "Asura I must ask a favor of you." "And that would be?" Asura asked. "My daughter, Persephone, went on a trip to Sninda. The planetary drop zone is in Eagle's Coast. From there the last sight of her was on a submersible to Mythwater. I want you to go and find my daughter. If you do, I will grant one wish. No matter what it is." The king said. "You can use my transport to get to Sninda." "Alright sir." Asura said and walked away. When everyone was ready they boarded the Panama, the king's planetary transport. The doors shut and locked with large clicks. Asura set it to auto-pilot and sat down with JNPR on the seats. "So what is Sninda?" Jaune asked. "Well Sninda is a planet on the outer rings that has only one spot of land. On that land is Eagle's Coast. Everything else on the planet, including Mythwater, is under water at the floor of the ocean. Massive creatures are kept at bay from the city using large guns. The ocean is called the Wemn Expanse. We'll have to search around Eagle's coast for a submersible that we can use to get to Mythwater." Asura said. "Have you been to Eagle's Coast before?" Pyrrha asked. "I have once before. It's a very pretty city." Asura said. "I don't like the ocean." Nora said. "Well hopefully we won't get attacked in the middle of nowhere." Asura said.
They approached the planet Sninda and team JNPR watched as they slowly approached the massive water planet. They entered the atmosphere and started to dock at the drop station of Eagle's coast. When they opened the door and stepped off they were greeted by the sound of gulls and the smell of sea air. The common houses of Eagle's coast were a beauty. From the outside the houses look very elegant, they had been built with yellow pine wood and had white cedar wooden decorations. Small, half rounded windows add to the overall style of the houses and have been added to the house in a very symmetric way. The building is shaped like a short U. The two extensions extend into a patio to each side. The second floor is smaller than the first, which allowed for a large balcony on one side of the house. The roof is flat and is covered with brown ceramic tiles. One small chimney pokes out the center of the roof. Several long, thin windows let in plenty of light to the rooms below the roof.
Built on the banks of a large natural harbor, the city of Eagle's Coast is a historic trade center. Its appearance is matched by the backdrop of a dormant Volcano which have helped shape the city to what it is today. Besides the resources the travelers brought, they were also influential when it came to architectural designs. Science and development is flourishing in Eagle's Coast and it has attracted a lot of attention. Many different cultures have left their mark not just on business, but also upon the city's identity. What historically was a city of few cultures has grown into an amalgamation of differences and it's this that unites the 4 million people to this day. It's this multicultural identity that has truly left its mark. Hundreds of concession stands, ethnic restaurants and gastropubs offer a plethora of culinary choices and those who feel hungry for something else can enjoy city exploring, adventure sports, sightseeing or one of the many other recreational venues. People fished off the docks and others readied their ships for fishing voyages. The Panama shut its doors and flew off into the sky and left the planet. Asura walked with the group, standing out from the citizens of Eagle's Coast. Asura in his black and red clothes stood with Pyrrha in her red and gold armor. Jaune was in his normal clothes of a chest plate, shoulder lates, jeans, and his black and orange shirt. Ren was in his green, black, and gold shirt with his white pants and Nora was in her pink skirt and white and black shirt with the two red strips. She wore her pink gloves and her hammer was on her back.
"Well first things first we should find a room to stay at while we look for a sub." Asura said walking through the brick streets and trying to find a place. After walking through the streets for a while he found a tavern, The Hissing Vanilla. From the outside it looks homey, modest and delightful.
Asura started to walk towards the tavern and asked. "You guys alright with staying in a tavern room? Food and drink are downstairs." "Well I guess so. It's like a party that goes all day." Pyrrha said. "What if they don't have a room available?" Jaune asked. "Let's hope that isn't the case." Asura said.
Hard wooden planks and stone beams make up most of the building's outer structure. It's impossible to see through the small, stained glass windows, but the cheerful sounds from within can be felt outside. As they entered the tavern through the heavy, wooden door, they were welcomed by joyful music and aromas of roasted meats. The bartender is working up a sweat, but still manages to welcome them with a short wave. It's as charming inside as it is on the outside. Rounded, wooden beams support the upper floor and the large candles attached to them. The walls are littered with so many different memorabilia, Ren is not sure if they tried going for a specific style at one time or just put up anything they like. The tavern itself is packed. Passing traders seem to be the primary clientele here, which often means great company. Several long tables are occupied by, what must be separate groups who have bonded over great food and conversation. The other, smaller tables are also occupied by people who are playing games and, judging by their laughter, are either telling jokes or great, perhaps embarrassing, tales. Even most of the stools at the bar are occupied, though nobody seems to mind more company. Asura did hear rumors about this tavern, supposedly it's famous for something, but he can't remember what for. Though judging by the angelic voice who just started singing, it must be famous for this singer. Asura looked over and saw a girl with blond hair in a bard's costume playing a lute and playing a song titled, Love His Fire. Asura walked to the bartender who had just finished with a costumer. "Greetings friend. What can I do for you today?" He asked. "We need a room. Two beds will do." Asura said. "Sure thing. Fees 15 for the night. Asura put 45 Trade Federation Credits on the bar and the bartender set him up for three days.
Asura walked past everyone and led JNPR upstairs to the room and the room was as homey as the rest of the bar. A large flag was on the wall opposite of the door. The flag is made up of three horizontal stripes and a circle in yellow, dark blue and dark pink. Their emblem consists of two eagles on top of a sea turtle. The emblem stands for their lineage, their aptitude and their health. Two large beds with fur blankets were in the top left and right corners of the room. A large round table was in the center of the room and the group set their stuff down on the table. "Well you guys get comfortable I'll be right back." Asura said before leaving and going downstairs and ordering five orders of Mint Bread and Berry Venison and five drinks of Nightfall Milk. He carried all the orders of food to the room and the group sat and enjoyed a hearty meal together. "That's got to be the best thing I've ever eaten. It sure beats Beacon food." Ren said. "Damn straight." Jaune said. Nora chugged her milk and Pyrrha took a bite of the mint bread. They sat in the room and got accustomed to it. The planetary transport took a few hours longer than expected and night was falling. As Nora watched the moon glistened off the waves. Jaune and Pyrrha were asleep in the right bed and Ren was sitting in the left one reading a book. Asura was examining a rather gorgeous item he "borrowed" from a past out traveler downstairs.
This Turquoise with a triangle cut is the size of the cannon ball is in superb condition. These gems are not that sought after, but they're an incredibly rare gemstone species. "What are you looking at Asura?" Nora asked. "Just something I borrowed." He said. "Does the person you borrowed it form know that you borrowed it?" She asked. "Not really. It's said these gems contain potent properties which make for a great offensive spell focus enhancement." Asura replied. He took one of the corners and broke it off. He opened a small hatch in the shotgun mechanism on his Ascalon and crushed the shard making dust fall into the hole. He took another corner and put more dust into the other arm. "Want some for your weapon?" Asura asked Nora. "What does it do?" She asked. "Well it would make it stronger so you could cause more damage… and explosions." Asura said. "Do it." Nora said excited. Asura pulled the grenade launcher over to him and crushed some more gemstone shards and let them fall down the barrel. He revolved the rotary part and let more dust fall down with each turn. The hammer started to glow lightly blue and then stopped. "Well there you go. Be very careful with that." Asura said. He pulled a book out of his bag titled "Sounds in The Mines" which was a story about a mining excavation that unearthed a creature den that trapped them in. Asura read the book for a while before seeing that Nora was asleep leaning on her arm in the on the window and the others were all asleep on the beds. He closed the book and put his head down on the table and fell asleep.
