EDITED AT 9/7/16 10:45PM
As the night continues, Yang was now taking the watch, yawning softly as she tried to keep her eyes open. Nearby, Zwei was sleeping next to Ruby before his ear raised up as if he heard something. He barked a few times, though luckily enough only Ruby heard it.
"Zwei? What are you doing? Go back to bed…" she yawned. The dog though started to walk off, Ruby follows after him to bring the dog back to the group. She wanders out of the building, looking for Zwei. "Zwei! Zwei, where are you? Zwei!"
Nearby she notices Zwei taking a leak on the rubble. This caused her to sigh and walk up to her dog. "Zwei, this is a wasteland. You could've done that anywhere." She sighed, the dog now in her arms as it barks.
"What was that?"
Hearing the voice, Ruby quickly hides behind some ruins. She took a peek and saw some White Fang soldiers, taking her by slight surprise to seeing them here. Guess the assumption to about them being here was right!
"What was what?" Another White Fang soldier replied.
"I thought I heard a Beowolf or something."
"Hmph. Let's just finish our patrol and get back to base. This place gives me the creeps." He responded.
"Right about that…" The other grunt agreed before continuing their patrol. Once the patrollers walk away, Ruby and Zwei sneak around, following them. They eventually reach a ruined building with a pair of metal doors.
"Did they go in? One bark means yes…" Ruby asked holding Zwei near the edge.
Zwei heard the sound of the door closing which echoes out to his ears, making him bark once. She sets him down, "Ohh! This is what we were looking for!" she beamed, pulling out her scroll only to see it saying 'No Signal' on it. Sighing she looked at her dog, "We better get back to the others and tell them about this." she said, standing up as the two started to make their way back to the others. However, the ledge she is holding onto breaks off, and she plummets into a huge cave filled with ruined buildings, far below the surface. She lands on a building up against a cavern wall, but as she gets up, a door that was nearby bursts open to reveal two of the White Fang soldiers.
"Freeze!" he ordered.
"Where did this human come from?" The other asked.
As they walk forward, Ruby backs away only to end up on the very edge of the platform.
"She's far away from her home as well." He noted.
The White Fang member walks up and grabs her. "Come on. You're coming with us." He ordered her.
"Hey! Hands off!" She jerks her arm out of the guard's hand and starts punching him but it had little effect and he punches her hard enough to knock her out.
"The boss should see this…" One of them suggested as they dragged her away.
Remnants of Desires
Chapter 23: Mountain Glenn, Breach, Blazing Combo
After what happened earlier, I never thought after holding up my old feelings that I would tell the others about past… To be honest, I felt better telling them about my past…
And right now as I continue to sleep, I felt someone shaking me with which I opened my eyes to see Weiss. "Weiss…?" I sat up, letting out a tired yawn. "What's going on?"
"Ruby's missing," she answered, a concerned look on her face.
I quickly stood up upon hearing that Ruby is missing.
"Then let's go find her," I decided until Ankh grabbed the back of my collar.
"Not so fast, if you haven't noticed. We are in the middle of a Grimm infested area. We all have to search for her without wandering off alone," the Bird Greed scoffed. I grimaced before I moved myself away from him. I shook my head to keep it together. Ruby really does remind me of Marie and just remembering brought old memories. We quickly heard some familiar barking as Zwei rushes inside, running up to Yang.
"Zwei?" Yang kneeled down. "Where's Ruby, Zwei?"
It barked before it ran, making us realize we have to follow the corgi in which we did as all of us followed.
After a short run, we saw Zwei as he was barking at the spot he is at.
"Arf! Arf!"
Zwei had stopped at a crossroads, the very same one we had landed in upon our arrival that morning. But there were a few key differences compared to our previous visit. Namely, a compact Crescent Rose lying discarded on the tarmac, and a massive sinkhole in the very centre of the crossing. Zwei looked down to the sniper scythe and gave a little whine.
"Oh no." I breathed, kicking a pebble into the chasm, listening intently for the clattering it made when it hit the bottom. I couldn't hear anything from down there, making me worried.
"Do you think she fell?" Weiss asked, kneeling by Ruby's weapon, and trying to visualize what had happened.
"Seems like it. Sinkhole must have caught her by surprise." I thought aloud. But why would such an event catch her off-guard? Unless… Was she preoccupied with something?
"Oh, my… of course! Of course, of course, OF COURSE!" Oobleck yelled out, getting our attention.
"Doc?" Yang asked. Ignoring her, Oobleck continued to excitedly voice his thoughts.
"How could I have been so stupid?!"
"Doctor, what is it?" Weiss asked, standing up, Crescent Rose in her hands.
"Mountain Glenn! Yes, it was an expansion of Vale that was inevitably destroyed by creatures of Grimm! Previously home to thousands of people, working people commuting to the main city! They develop a subway system to the inner city! Grimm attacks increased in response to fresh prey making regular excursions into their territory, the population now in danger, so they seek shelter! City evacuates into the metro tunnels, and what do they find? The southeast quadrant of Vale is known for wild forests and deep caves!"
"So what does it mean?" I asked. Oobleck looked to me.
"We're not just looking for an underground crime network, we're looking for an UNDERGROUND crime network!" He exclaimed.
"Wait, they've been working in caves?" Blake asked.
"Nonono, Mountain Glenn was Vale's first serious attempt at expansion. Thanks to an aggressive perimeter defense and a unique transportation system, the expansion worked for some time. But without natural defences to protect its borders, like those surrounding Vale, Mountain Glenn was doomed from the very beginning! As the Grimm began to close in on the town, the citizens made one final attempt at survival: by taking shelter beneath the city! In the caves, that had been excavated for the subway system. And in doing so, they managed to cut themselves off from the surface!"
"So they were living in an underground village," Ankh said.
"Correct you are Ankh. A safe haven. Until… a wayward explosion opened the mouth of another cavern. One filled with subterranean Grimm." Oobleck bowed his head, his eyes sparkling behind his glasses.
"After that incident, the kingdom of Vale saw fit to seal off the tunnels, creating the world's largest tomb. And if Ruby's down there, without her weapon…"
Oobleck threw his thermos into the air, and to my surprise, it elongated with a series of clicks and whirs, transforming from a thermos to something resembling a baseball bat.
Okay I gotta admit, that was cool but right now wasn't the time to see that, we had to focus on finding Ruby…
But looking down, I felt the unsettled feeling in my stomach. A familiar feeling… the fear of losing those close to me. I leaned over a little more before looking back at the others who were trying to find a way to get underground until I noticed Zwei tugging me, making me look down at the corgi. "Don't worry… We'll find her." I let out a small smile.
It barked happily before its direction soon pointed at an area. I blinked until I leaned over the corner to see doors up ahead. "Was that where you and Ruby were searching for?" I asked the corgi.
It barked again, tugging on my pants as if it wanted me to head to the doors. I looked at my friends then at Zwei. I know we had to stick together but this was Ruby we're talking about. I know that this isn't my home world but Ruby reminded me too much of Marie…
I didn't want to make the same mistake again…
Coming to a decision, I was about to walk around the hole until a familiar hand stopped me from progressing, causing me to look back and see Yang. "Think you can just leave us behind?" She said, smirking at me. She must have guessed what I was about to do.
"We just have to get to those doors over there," I pointed at the said direction. "Ruby must have seen the White Fang enter through there."
"Then we'll go with you." Blake smiled.
Weiss huffed at me, "We're a team, aren't we? Why go in alone?" She crossed her arms.
Upon hearing this, I looked at the three while Ankh scoffed. "It's better to make sure you're alive than dead." He said. "I still need to find the other Cores."
I rolled my eyes before I smiled. "Then let's go save Ruby." I agreed as I unsheathed Medajalibur.
Deep inside the caves, the two White Fang soldiers dragged Ruby heading down towards where their 'boss' is at. While that happens, Ruby did regain consciousness, opening her eyes and only that. As she does, she notices the White Fang doing many strange things next to a train.
"Hey watch it!" One of the grunts shouted to the other. "You almost killed us by dropping that!"
"Sorry," the other replied sarcastically.
'What's going on? Why do they have all this stuff?' Ruby thought to herself.
The two dragging Ruby stopped as one of them looks at an open train cart. "Uh, Boss? We have something for you to look at." The Faunus rebel said.
"Is it good or bad, Perry? Because let me tell ya, I have had a day." A familiar voice replied from the railcar.
"Uh…. It's a little girl?"
The person who leans through the doorway to see Ruby was none other than Roman Torchwick. "That would be bad." He jumped out as he approached the three, looking at Ruby. "If it isn't little red."
"Roman.." she glared at him.
He chuckled, twirling his cane as he looks at the two guards who were leaning against the wall. He looks back at Ruby before throwing her across the floor. "Wow! You are much more manageable without that over-sized gardening tool of yours." He mocked.
Ruby gets up and charges at Roman, which he simply sidesteps, sending Ruby stumbling across the floor.
"I must say Red, this is quite the surprise! And here I thought you didn't like me?" Roman said cheekily.
She couldn't do much because her weapon was back at the surface and she was surrounded by two White Fang soldiers and Roman. She tried to her Semblance again but it useless as she was pulled back and fell back to the ground.
"Sorry little red. But we're not done here yet." Roman twirled his cane, turning to Perry. "Mind grabbing the tape, Perry?"
The said White Fang soldier nodded before grabbing it until an explosion was heard which distracted the group. And on cue, Ruby used her Semblance to run off towards the group, causing Roman to growl in anger.
"After her!"
Ruby panted, dodging the bullets of the White Fang as she did her best to make her escape, but while she was running, she wasn't paying attention as she tripped and fell onto the ground. "Ow…" She groaned.
"Need a little help?" She looked up to see a yellow armored gauntlet.
"Need a little help?" I smiled under my helmet as I had my hand out to her, as I was in my TaToBa armor.
"Enrique!" Ruby beamed, jumped up and hugging me tightly.
I chuckled lightly before I looked at her. "Are you okay?" I asked as she pulled away from the hug.
"I'm fine, I'm fine! But listen! Torchwick's got all kinds of weapons and robots down there."
"What?!" Blake hands Ruby her weapon.
"They are loading them up on the train cars too!"
"Ahhh, that's ridiculous," Oobleck informed. "These tunnels are seals, the tracks lead to a dead-end."
A blow horn can be heard from near by as we turn towards it, "Ladies, Gentleman, Faunus. We are moving out!" Roman voice echoed as the train began to take off.
"Looks like they are still determined to complete the task," Ankh noted. "And seeing how those tracks lead northwest, guess where he is heading to?"
We all pondered until we realized where exactly. "He's heading straight to Vale!" I said.
"We need to do something!" Yang called out.
"There is one way to make sure it doesn't happen," Oobleck said.
"We have to stop the train!" Ruby finished. Upon this, all of us went after the departing train as we ran as fast as we can to get on the train. Ruby, Oobleck, and Weiss were the first to get on top of the train, while Yang, Ankh, Blake and I got on next.
When all 7, well 8 if you include Zwei, got on the train, Weiss rushed up ahead and opened the hatch but something caught her attention. "Err… Professor?"
"Doctor." Oobleck corrected.
"What's that?" She asked. Oobleck knelt down to get a closer look.
"That, my dear… appears to be a bomb." He answered. Immediately, we all edged away from the explosive, afraid of being in such close proximity to such a dangerous device.
Ruby turned her to the front part of the train before noticing what was ahead. "Uh… We got baddies!" Ruby yelled, pointing further down the train. Looking in that direction, I saw a number of White Fang goons climb onto the top of the train, armed with guns and swords, and looking very angry.
"Get the humans!" One of the White Fang members shouted.
Oobleck sighed. "Well, I didn't expect them to go-" Suddenly a sound went off as Oobleck looked down, to see the bomb now armed and counting down to explode. "Easy on us…." He then looks at his students. "We need to get moving, now!"
They nodded as they quickly rushed towards the other car, but Oobleck holds Blake back, "Blake! Cut the caboose line! It'll kill us all!" He ordered her. Blake jumps down between the two carriages. Immediately after she had disappeared from their view, the caboose had detached.
"It decoupled itself!" Blake shouted up, climbing back on top.
"Guess Roman really doesn't want us on here…." Yang groaned.
Oobleck looked up to the careening train car, watching as it vanished into the tunnel. The bomb aboard the wayward carriage detonated, and the roof of the tunnel began to cave in, illuminating the tunnel slightly.
"That's not good…" the doctor muttered.
"Uh, neither is this!" Ruby yelled, causing us to spin around. She and Weiss had opened another panel on the carriage roof and were looking into it in concern.
"Another bomb?!" I yelled.
"No, no, no…" Oobleck muttered, before dashing to the next car, and opening a third hatch.
"THEY ALL HAVE BOMBS!" He yelled back to us. Before we could respond, the bomb in the carriage we stood on began to beep loudly. Ruby and Weiss slammed the hatch shut and took off running down to the next carriage. Blake, Yang, Ankh, and I quickly followed suit, leaping over the slowly growing chasm as the carriage detached from the train. Yang looked back to the disappearing train car.
"This doesn't make sense!" She yelled. We all watched as the carriage vanished further and further into the distance before an indecipherable cry sounded behind us. Looking further down the train, the White Fang goons were drawing closer and closer. We turned back to see the group of White Fang now closer than before. "We need to deal with them before we can proceed," Oobleck noted.
For Ankh, he stared at the train cars that decoupled until his eyes widen in realization and looked at us. "Oi! I think I know what he is doing!" He shouted.
"And what will that be!?" Weiss asked.
"Those bombs are creating openings in other words-" Suddenly, hordes of Grimm descended into the tunnel from the newly opened hole in the roof. Beowolves, Ursai, Deathstalkers, even a King Taijitu, plus some lizard-like Grimm that I couldn't place a name to. The Taijitu roared, and the Grimm began to charge at us as the rest of us realize what Ankh was about to say. "He is leading Grimm into the city."
"By Oum, Ankh is right! Torchwick is leading Grimm to the city!" Oobleck agreed.
"What? But that's insane! Why would he do that?" Blake questioned.
"It's the desire to put the city in a panic, what do you think?" Ankh retorted as he kicked a White Fang grunt off the train.
"We need to stop him before this train leads to the city." Yang slammed her fists together. Yang was right though, if the criminal leads the Grimm to the city somehow, then it would endanger the lives of the civilians.
"Yeah," I agreed as we went charged in. When one tried to swing their blade at me, I used the Tora claws to block the attack before using my other gauntlet and punched the grunt in the chest before kicking him away.
Ankh dodged their attacks easily, striking them down as they collapse on the train as he scoffs, "Weaklings… Next time, learn to actually fight." He caught the incoming blade with his Greeed arm and grabbed the grunt and threw him aside. With some of his powers back, we could tell the big difference in terms of fighting skills. Now, Ankh's fighting skills were getting close to the point that he truly wasn't kidding that he and the Greeed were the first Huntsman. Blake charged forward, slicing through the weapons as she kicked off the members that came close to her, making sure she is in a safe range.
"There's no more time! We have to hurry! All of you, get down below and try to stop those bombs!" Oobleck yelled. We all dashed to the nearest hatch, and Blake went down first, followed by Yang, Weiss, and Ankh. As I climbed into the crawlspace, Ruby prepared to follow but was stopped when Oobleck sped forwards, and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Not you, Ruby. We have a more important task." He stated. Ruby looked up.
"Which is?" She asked
"We're going to stop this train." He responded, before looking at me, and nodding his head, as if telling me to keep going. I nodded back, and shut the hatch, sliding down the ladder into the steel compartment.
Once we reach the inside, Yang hit the ground, followed swiftly by Weiss, Blake, Ankh, and me. As I got my bearings, I looked at the surroundings. The carriage was about the size of two shipping containers placed end to end and was laden down with a large array of cargo.
"I guess this is what we trained for," Yang muttered. Weiss rifled through a pocket in the interior of her jacket and fished out something resembling a gun's magazine. But rather than bullets, it was loaded with Dust crystals. She quickly gazed at it and held it out to Blake.
"Here. This should help." She smiled. Blake took the clip and exchanged it with her current magazine in her weapon. But regardless, we all charged ahead, boots clattering on the steel ground, when someone dropped in front of us from the ceiling, causing us to skid to a stop. As the new arrival stood up, we immediately recognized her.
Neo.
We hadn't seen her since that night we had fought Torchwick and Kazari under the freeway overpass. Her appearance still gave me chills, and I could swear I saw her eyes change colour as she blinked. It made for a very unsettling image. Yang unfolded her bracelets, ready for a fight against the pint-sized girl.
"You guys go on ahead. She's mine." Yang ordered, a hint of venom in her voice. The four of us nodded and resumed our charge. Yang cocked her weapon and fired a flaming round at Neo, who simply sprung backward on her hands, letting Weiss, Blake, Ankh, and I progress further into the train.
As Blake, Weiss, Ankh, and I progress towards the front train car, we entered the next one as we were about to continue to the other side but the top part of the train car suddenly burst open as a figure crashed in.
The figure in question was humanoid that has the motif between a gorilla and a stingray as it had large blue-gray, bulking arms that could crush anything it gets hold of. Its torso was covered with what was to be a stingray while its left arm had the spike-tail of it. Its head was a gray color with the front of its face covered while the back of its head had hair extruding from it while its neck had the 'wings' of the stingray. It roared, banging its fists to its chest.
"Our lucky day, a Yummy," Ankh grinned, sensing the Cell Medals it has.
"A Yummy?!" I recognized. But how was there one here, even more, this one being new to me? "But how…"
"Kazari must have created it from Gamel's and Mezool's Cores since he still has some of them," he observed. "And knowing that he has some of Gamel's Cores then it means he can make a Yummy from his body."
I look at the Yummy then back at Weiss and Blake. "Weiss, Blake, you two can go on ahead," I said as I sheathed the Medajalibur and placed the O-Driver on my waist, the belt forming before the Bird Greeed handed me two Core Medals that he thought would be useful for this fight. "Ankh and I will handle the Yummy."
The two nodded as they quickly rushed towards it but Ankh unleashed a fireball at it, diverting its attention back to the both of us as I placed in the three Cores, tilting the buckle and scanned them with the O-Scanner. "Henshin!"
TAKA!
GORILLA!
WANI!
The crests aligned before it flew back to me, forming the armor as I was now equipped with the Taka helm, Gori Bagons, and the Wani Legs while Ankh brought out his Greeed arm and his short sword, the both of us ready to fight the Yummy.
"You better not screw up," Ankh reminded.
"I'm not gonna let you down," I assured.
The both of us charged towards the Yummy as it did the same by meeting in the middle as it reared its fist back to deliver the first punch but I used the Wani legs to stop it as it created energy that was shaped like crocodile jaws, biting into its arm in which caused it to spill Cell medals, stumbling back. However we took notice it didn't react upon the kick, as if it didn't want to block it.
"Something is up…." Ankh pointed it out.
"What do you mean by that?"
The Yummy roared as it placed its arms together as the spikes soon shot out from its arms, causing the both of us to take cover. "That's why." He said. "It was testing our strength. It is now relying on mid-range attacks before we can even punch it."
"Any ideas?" I asked.
Ankh quickly brought out Kame before tossing it to me. I switched Gorilla with Kame and scanned the medals again.
TAKA!
KAME!
WANI!
The crests aligned before changing the Gori Bagons with Kame shields in which I brought my arms together to form the shield as I got up, the spikes being blocked thanks to it. When I got close, I used the Wani legs once again to kick the Yummy as more cell medals spilled from each hit.
The Yummy growled as it spewed water at me, pushing me back before sending more spikes at me, luckily, Kame helped save me from the spikes, but the water kept pushing me back further.
"Damn it…" I cursed under my breath. "This Yummy seriously is trying to prevent us from getting closer to it."
"You think?" Ankh asked as he ducked back down to the crate to avoid some of the spikes. "Just try to get to that Yummy so I can get cell medals."
"How can I when it won't let me get close to it?!" I shouted to him. Seriously, I know he wants to get Cell Medals but this was a situation where the Yummy is preventing us from attacking up close.
"Why not use this then?" He showed me the Unagi and Kuwagata Medal before tossing it to me. I was confused at first until I realized that both of mid-range to long range attacks and both use electricity. Taking his advice, I switched Kame with Unagi and scanned the medals once more.
KUWAGATA!
UNAGI!
WANI!
Instead of being equipped with the Kame shields and Taka helm, I now had the Unagi whips and the Kuwagata horns. The whips extended be off right whiplashed the Yimmy before it can spray water once again, causing it to revive some shocks upon the contact. To double the voltage, I used the Kuwagata horns and sent electricity at the Yummy, finally causing it to stumble after a while. It groaned before sending more spikes, this time, it was focusing on defense as it kept pushing me away, wanting me to spend all of my energy on it.
I painted as I clenched my hands. "Can't give up on this…" I muttered, trying to keep focused. I focused on the two abilities again and unleashed more shock onto it before I fell on my knees, feeling that I'm starting to get exhausted while the Cores were beginning to revitalize my body. But then, I had an idea but it was a long shot but hey, it's better than nothing.
"Damn it," Ankh cursed as he was about to unleash a fireball but the Yummy quickly shot its spike at him, causing the Bird Greeed to take cover again before the kaijin marched towards me, making me raise my head to see the two bulking fists ready to crush me.
I smirked lightly under my helmet. "Here's the kick!" I said before kicking it where the sun doesn't shine. The Yummy yelped as it moved away, holding its area that I kicked. Wow, I guess it did work. Seeing the Yummy now away from me, I charged forward before I unleashed a few more Wani kicks as each one bit down onto it before I unleashed a devastating shock as the Yummy finally had smoke coming out of its skin.
"Now let's finish this!" I announced before scanning the medals.
SCANNING CHARGE!
I jumped in the air before the Unagi Whips and Kuwagata Horns sparked with electricity, completely surrounding my body as the Wani legs formed the shape of a crocodile. Passing through the three rings of the corresponding color, I delivered a fatal kick that came in contact with its chest, causing the Yummy to explode into cell medals.
I breathed heavily before I tilted the buckle back while Ankh quickly grabbed all the Cell medals that were on the ground much to his delight. I know that the Beast-type Yummys have one Cell Medal but since it is also mixed from Mezool's Core Energy, the Hybrid Yummy had Cell Medals instead of one medal.
"At least that Akira isn't here," he mused, enjoying the cell medals he gathered from the defeated Yummy.
I rolled my eyes upon hearing h in before we quickly went to the hatch so we can meet up with the others. When I got to the front I saw Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang were already there as we joined up with them.
"Now that we stopped Roman, how do we stop the train?" Ruby asked.
Oh… now that we didn't think of.
"Uh… Girls?" I pointed at the wall ahead.
"What do we do?!" Blake yelled. Ruby and Weiss looked to each other and exchanged a smile and a nod. The heiress stepped forwards, spun her rapier, and planted it into the metal beneath our feet. But instead of the ice snaking down to the wheels of the carriage like I had expected, the ice began to fold up around us, sealing us within an arctic cocoon, just as the train crashed into the metal wall ahead as everything went black for me.
I groaned as I opened my eyes, my vision blurry at first. The old feeling of what happened to me 5 years ago was slowly returning in my head, causing my eyes to widen before I turned to see the others slowly waking up as well.
However, I took notice of the surroundings as we see where we are.
The central plaza of Vale.
The destruction of the train had forced us all to the surface, along with an enormous pile of debris, some from below, some from the destroyed road. Glancing around through my dizziness and possible concussion, I saw a crowd of people looking at the carnage in fear and confusion. After all, how many people expected a group of heavily armed teenagers to burst through the ground?
*RUMBLE…*
The ground quaked violently, loosening more debris, and I heard a quiet hissing. Hissing that I had heard before.
Behind me, a long, black, scaly body exploded from the hole in the ground, sending wreckage skyward. Looking up, I saw the head of an enormous Taijitu look down on the plaza, and roar hungrily.
The citizens of Vale began to scream, and flee from the carnage, as more and more Creatures of Grimm emerged from the hole. Beowolves chased fleeing civilians ravenously, while Deathstalkers scuttled along the streets, using their luminous stingers to strike at the stampeding crowds. The Taijitu slithered forwards, ignoring us, as it flickered its tongue out, searching for any unfortunate people that would make for a relishing meal.
As the Grimm finally crawled out of the breach, all hell broke loose as the soulless beasts began to attack the civilians. The beasts killing those that couldn't escape in time. The blood that was spilling onto the grounds of the city.
Seeing all of this, my breathing became heavier while my pupils dilated as my eyes widened. I dropped to my knees as my heart pounded in my chest, my breath now becoming rapid.
I was remembering that day. The day of the car crash. We were...mom, Marie, and I...were trapped in the car. We couldn't get out. I screamed for help. My mom's lifeless body in front of my eyes, all the blood that I saw…
The Medajalibur fell from my grip as I trembled in shock and fear.
"Enrique!"
I couldn't respond as I covered my ears, wanting to stop the sound that was entering my head, the cries for help, the screaming... I couldn't close my eyes... I have to look away... Why can't I!? Please make it stop!
"No more… No more…" I whimpered as shook in fear. "Please don't die… Please don't die… make it stop… please make it stop..."
"He's having a panic attack!" Ankh's voice said to team RWBY. "The breach is triggering his memory of his loss. The worst day of his life."
Sensing Enrique's emotions, the Grimm zeroed in on him. He was radiating with so much grief, guilt, and fear. He was a beacon for the Grimm with those very emotions.
Some of the Grimm that were close quickly went after him as a Beowolf pounced with its fangs and claws out to tear him apart.
Before it even had the chance, a familiar red blade was embedded in its head. In front of the young Multi-King was Ankh as he pulled the blade out of the Grimm before his Greeed arm appeared, unleashing a few fireballs at the incoming Grimm that were drawn to Enrique's emotions.
He quickly looked back at me before feeling his claw on the collar of my jacket.
"GET OFF YOUR ASS, ENRIQUE!" Ankh slapped me.
I slowly looked up at Ankh, "Ankh… but..." He then interrupted me.
"You have to keep it together, damn it!" He demanded, no ordered was more like it. "Do what I chose you to do! Fight for a cause! Fight as OOO!"
I slowly picked up my sword and put on the OOO Driver while Ankh handed me three Core Medals.
"Use this combination," he suggested. I slowly grabbed the Cores from his hand before placing them in the OOO Driver. Tilting the buckle, I grabbed the O-Scanner from my side and scanned the medals. "Henshin."
KUWAGATA!
GORILLA!
CHEETAH!
The symbols of the said Cores appeared in front of me before they flew back to me, causing me to be in the armor with the Kuwagata Horns, Gori Bagons, and Cheetah Legs equipped instead of the standard TaToBa set. Hearing the sounds of the stag beetle, the horns conducted electricity before it began to send blasts of lightning toward the oncoming Grimm. When an Ursai was charging towards me, I used the Cheetah legs and the Gori Bagons to deliver swift, brutal punches to its bone armor, smashing it as the shards from it were embedded into its head.
Ankh was right though… I.. I have to keep it together… I have to… They need my help, I need to fight like a Hunter now. I was suffering from a panic attack from seeing what happened... but now... I have to do what Ankh said. Fight as OOO to prevent the Grimm from attacking any further.
I quickly avoided a Beowolf's strike and smashed its head in before punching away another that tried to bite.
With the help of the Kuwagata horns, I managed to shock some of the incoming Grimm. Upon the next attack, we saw more Grimm merging out of the hole much to our dismay. "They just keep coming!"
*B~ANG!*
A loud blast can be heard as we look to where it came from. And as that happened, we saw none other than Nora, flying in on her hammer, laughing loudly before slamming her hammer down onto the King Taijitu that just popped up.
"Nora!" Ruby beamed. "Why are you here?"
"Not just me, silly!" she pointed behind herself, the others now seeing the rest of JNPR fighting off some Grimm the moment they arrived to help us out.
"Enrique." Ren nodded, shooting down a few Bewolves behind me.
"Looks like we just made it in time." Pyrrha smiled, spearing an Ursa.
"Why me…?" Jaune sighed, striking another Ursa down.
We were glad to see Team JNPR since we still had to fight the Grimm that were escaping the breach. However despite all ten of us fighting them off, the numbers kept increasing. We were now surrounded by Grimm due to the now made hole, no thanks to the White Fang. We were giving our very best as we cut them down.
"There's too many of them!" Jaune shouted, cutting down a Beowolf.
"We can't let more escape from the breach!" Ruby called out before she was smacked by an Ursa.
"RUBY!" Yang shouted as she rushes towards her sister. She punched the Ursa that was about to kill her sister before staying by her side to protect her.
I looked at my friends and saw we were getting outnumbered. I didn't want to die here, not now, not ever and I didn't want to lose my friends against these beasts either. I needed to do something. That was then I remembered the two Medals that I gave to Ankh; Kujaku and Condor. This may be the only chance we got.
With my confidence and determination now building up, I looked at Ankh and said, "Ankh, I need Taka, Kujaku, and Condor! Give them to me!"
Ankh glared at me upon my request. "Like hell I will!" He denied, stabbing a Beowolf in its chest before shooting out a fireball at an Ursa.
I gritted my teeth as I slashed a Grimm across its chest. "Damn it Ankh, just let me use your power! I don't want my friends to die!" I shouted. "What about the girl you met!? What about the one you met in the past!? Do you want history to repeat itself and relive what happened to you?!"
I know he told me to never mention the girl he knew 800 years ago but this was a life or death situation and if the Grimm continue their progression in the city then there's a chance the Sara girl he met could die. "You told me that I have to fight as OOO!"
Ankh gritted his teeth as I reminded him and he shut his eyes as he clenched the fist of his Greeed Arm. It flashed red as he produced three of his red Core Medals.
"You better not lose them!" Ankh shouted before he tossed the Core Medals to me.
I caught the red Core medals as I noticed I was completely surrounded by Grimm. "All or nothing..." I muttered as I quickly switched Kuwagata, Gorilla, and Cheetah with Taka, Kujaku, and Condor before scanning them with the Grimm pouncing at me.
TAKA!
KUJAKU!
CONDOL!
TA~JA~DOL!
A blazing aura burst from my body, burning the Grimm that surrounded me as my armour formed on my body and once it had completely formed, my friends took stock of my appearance.
The Taka Head helmet had turned into the Taka Head Brave with a more detailed design on the helmet to resemble a bird's head with the yellow beak being a gemstone. The wing-like attachments to my helmet had become bigger and the eyes had turned red.
My shoulder armour was bright red and came in three layers, making them appear spiked and feather-like. My gauntlets had a similar appearance at the elbows with more red feather-like armour. Red feather-like bands ran down to my wrists which were circled with gold wristbands. The backs of my hands were decorated with more red armour, completing the arms at least.
The sides of my thighs were decorated with crimson fabric which held the image of feathers when looked upon. The shin armour spread out just below my knees in more wing-like decoration. My feet though had a single yellow blade rising from the red armour over my feet with two similar blades coming from either side of my ankles. The O-Lung Circle crest was surrounded by a golden ring which sported a red emblem that resembled a phoenix by combining the images on the red Core Medals.
This was the TaJaDol form, the Blazing Combo.
(Cue TaJaDol Combo - Time Judge All)
This power… is this the power that Ankh feels when he is in full power? The heat that was emitting around me, it felt warm, comforting but at the same time powerful. It was that of a phoenix that was ready to burn down anything and protect anything. An inferno burning within the soul, of a dream that can reach the sky.
Now filled with determination, I ran to my friends while slashing the Grimm down before I was in front of both teams, facing the Grimm. I could tell that behind me, they can feel the warmth and power the armor was emitting.
Fire enveloped my hands and I launched a flamethrower attack at the Grimm. I then did the movement Eiji did before spreading my arms out, the shining peacock tail feathers now visible for my friends to see as they fanned out behind me.
"Enrique…?" Ruby muttered in awe as the two teams saw what I was doing.
I flicked my wrists as the feathers detached from my armor, becoming a large number of feathered projectiles. "This is what I do to protect you guys. I may have lost my family… but I am not gonna lose you guys too." I said before thrusting my arms out, commanding the projectiles to shoot at each of the Grimm that was charging at us. Each one hit dead center of each Grimm, causing miniature explosions upon the impact of the feathers, dwindling the number of Grimm one by one.
The O-Lung glowed, summoning a round shield with the TaJaDol Combo's emblem on it. It mounted itself to my left wrist and I used it as a flame blaster, shooting each one of the Grimm.
I aimed the small shield at an Ursa before unleashing another fireball as the help of the Combo enhanced it, incinerating the Grimm that came towards us. I looked back at my friends. "What are you waiting for? Let's finish off these soulless beasts!" I smirked under my helmet.
They all cheered together, each one charging ahead to take on any Grimm that comes near them.
I charged in as well as we all began to fight back, preventing further Grimm from escaping. It was thanks to the combo that the number of Grimm was decreasing dramatically as eat Grimm I took down, they become nothing but ashes and dust. As we continue to fight, I decided to change tactics as I put my arms forward and spread them out, causing a pair of metallic red bird wings to spread open from my back. I then took off into the sky.
"He can fly!?"
Once I was in the air, I swoop down to shoot each Grimm that I could see, incinerating them. Each hit was proven fatal to the Grimm as they fall one by one with Team RWBY and Team JNPR now assisting me on taking down the Grimm.
I went higher as I fired at the Grimm that were on the rooftops until a black feather nearly pierced my helmet, but instead flew past me. Turning my head to the source, I saw a Nevermore, a big Nevermore at that. It was larger than the one I defeated in the Initiation. "Wow… And I thought the Nevermore from before was the biggest one I have seen." I whistled.
The Nevermore shot more of its feathers at me, showing that no one else is allowed to be in the sky. I quickly avoided its attacks before shooting fireballs at it. However, it didn't do much, only making it more pissed as it is. "Crap," I muttered. It opens its beak, ready to gobble me whole but I flew away before it begins to chase after me. Every time I shoot the massive bird, it didn't receive much damage. Its armor was thick as a Deathstalker. I kept on avoiding its beak from snapping me in half and its feathers that were being aimed at me. It felt like I was the prey while the Nevermore was the predator, ready to eat me whole.
"Gotta think…" I muttered to myself, avoiding its feathers from cutting through my armor. A light bulb came up as I looked at the TajaSpinner. I opened it, revealing three Cell Medals as this made me remember what Eiji did. He used the TaJaDol Combo in the Giga Scan. Maybe it can work against the Nevermore.
I removed the three Cell Medals before placing in Taka, Kujaku, and Condor into the Taja Spinner and closed it. Once closed, I placed the O-Scanner on top of it as this caused the device to let out a rapid chime before I swiped it across.
TAKA!
KUJAKU!
CONDOL!
"Here goes…" I spread my arms out as a fiery aura has completely surrounded me.
GIN-GIN-GIN GIGA SCAN!
Team RWBY and Team JNPR were fending off the Grimm that were less in number thanks to Enrique. Not to mention, the Atlas military finally arrived to fight off the Grimm that were emerging from the Breach. As they fought off the last of them, a fiery light made them look up and saw what was in the sky. In the sky, they saw Enrique becoming enveloped in fire, shaped into a phoenix. It was like they were seeing something from a storybook.
"Is that… a phoenix…?" Pyrrha muttered, speechless upon seeing it.
"It's what my power can do when used with the OOO armor," Ankh responded to the Amazon, watching the scene as it unfolded above them.
"Amazing…" Weiss uttered.
They remembered Ankh telling them that he was the most powerful of all the Greeed but they never knew that his power would be powerful enough to help Enrique defeat a lot of Grimm.
Was this how much power Ankh has when he has all nine Cores? If so, they were glad that Ankh was on their side.
Once the fire was at full power, I flew towards the Nevermore as I extended my right arm out. "SEIYA!" I shouted as the fire-like aura screeched before we went straight through the giant Nevermore. Once through, its body was glowing a bright red before it exploded into ashes as they glow a bit upon falling to the ground.
Seeing the fight over and the Atlas military finally on the scene to eliminate the remaining Grimm, I landed on my two feet as the wings disappeared, ending the battle.
(End Song)
I heavily panted from the amount of energy that was used in the armor for I could barely feel anything. Slowly reaching for the buckle, I tilt it back to its original position, dispelling the armor but the moment I did, my body felt completely drained and exhausted as I struggle to keep myself up from using the Full Combo.
"Enrique!"
I took notice of Team RWBY and JNPR running up to me as I slowly showed a smile. "H-hey you guys…"
"Enrique, are you okay…?"
I coughed harshly as I felt something I thought would never see again. My own blood. "Guess it was too much for me, huh?" I rasped before I passed out.
Ren quickly got hold of their friend as they were shocked by what happened. Ruby looked at his Scroll and saw the percentage of his Aura, showing that he has 1% Aura left in him. "What's wrong with him!?"
Ankh, on the other hand, ignored the question as he walked up to the unconscious body of Enrique before he snatched the Red Cores from the O-Driver and absorbed them. "The power of the Combo put too much strain on his body and depleted almost all of his Aura. I told you, I was the most powerful of the Greeed and my power was too much for him. It happened to the Multi-King last time." He responded. "Bastard was lucky he withstood it."
"And you didn't tell us!?" Yang yelled.
"Why should I?" He scoffed. "Enrique is lucky as well. If it wasn't for him, you all would have had your asses handed to you and become Grimm chow. It was his fault that he used my power."
Before anyone knew it, he was slapped harshly by surprisingly Blake and Yang.
Ankh rubbed his cheeks, ignoring the pain from the double slap he received. "His fault!? How is it his fault for using the Combo?!" Blake questioned.
"He did it to protect us. He even saved Ruby and the rest of us!" Yang added. "He did what was right! This isn't his fault!"
Ankh huffed before walking past them. "Where are you going?!" The blonde brawler demanded.
"Checking on something," he said, referring to Sara to see if she is safe.
The teams saw Professor Goodwitch approach the hole that was made before using her Semblance to seal the Breach before Ruby spoke up.
"Let's get him to the infirmary." She informed.
The group nodded as Ren and Jaune lifted Enrique by the shoulders and carry him back to Beacon.
After a while, they got him to the infirmary and the doctors were gonna take care of him much to their relief to hear that their friend was gonna be alright. Once things settled down a bit with nighttime now going, Yang decided to take a walk in the courtyard before noticing the same swordswoman from before that saved her.
"Who are you?" She asked.
The mysterious swordswoman removes her mask, shockingly revealing her face that was similar to Yang in appearance. The only thing different is her red eyes and black hair. "Yang, we have a lot to talk about."
I slowly opened my eyes, barely able to move my aching body.
"You guys he's waking up!" A familiar young voice informed.
I slowly turned my head and saw Ruby with her kind smile gracing her lips as I took notice of the rest of her team and Team JNPR along with Sun and Neptune. "H-hey you guys…" I weakly greeted. I did my best as I slowly sat up, feeling pain coursing through me.
"Take it easy, Ankh told us the combo put a lot of strain on your body," Ruby said.
I nodded slowly, trying to not put a lot of strain on my body. "How long was I out?" I asked.
"Two days," Yang answered. "You gave us a scare after that battle."
If only I could let out a chuckle but I was weak as it is. "Sorry that I made you guys worried. I didn't want anything bad to happen to my good friends." I apologized.
"No need to apologize, you saved us." Blake pointed out. "We should thank you."
"Yeah plus you were awesome out there, being in a Phoenix and all," Sun added.
"And demolishing that large Nevermore. You know that only expert huntsman and huntress can handle one like that?" Neptune remarked.
"You fried it more exactly," Yang said with a mirthful grin. We groaned from her pun.
"Really, Yang?" Weiss deadpanned. The blonde merely shrugged.
"Where's Ankh?"
"He first went to find someone then came back and probably asleep. Along with the trail of boxes on the ground." Jaune answered. I rubbed the bridge of my nose, knowing that Ankh must have eaten a lot of ice cream. I seriously gotta confiscate his treats.
"Damn it, Ankh." I cursed under my breath.
"Guy has a sweet tooth for ice cream, gotta admit," Sun commented. "Well, Neptune and I should head back. We'll see you tomorrow."
I nodded as Neptune and Sun left as the others look at each other. "Guess the same goes for us too. We have classes tomorrow." Pyrrha agreed.
The others nodded as they headed to the door but Yang stopped for some reason. "What wrong, Yang?" Ruby asked.
"You guys go on ahead. There's something I have to do," She replied.
Her teammates looked at each other before nodding. They left as Yang and I were the only ones in the infirmary. "Is there something wrong, Yang?" I asked.
She turned around before reversing the chair as she rested her arms on the headrest. She took a deep breath for a moment before speaking up. "Listen, I want to thank you for saving Ruby back in the initiation and the battle from two days ago as well as helping her out. You have no idea how happy I was to see she is okay."
"Ruby is your sister, I didn't want someone to lose their sibling."
"You did mention about your family back at Mountain Glenn…" She remembered. "I can understand why you help us and the others you meet. When I saw the image of your little sister… She was like Ruby. She reminds you of her doesn't she?"
I lowered my head upon hearing the last part before I slowly nodded in confirmation. "Yeah… Ruby and Marie aren't that different when it comes to personality and the smile they show…" I answered.
Yang had a soft smile appear on her lips. "Hey, to be honest, I am glad Ruby got you to be her first friend here in Beacon."
I let out a smile before she got up from her seat and walk to the side of the bed. "Yang?" I blinked.
She caught me off guard when she kissed my cheek. Her soft lips touching my skin for this made me blush. "Thank you for helping us." She thanked. I swear that somewhere back home, Zack was shouting 'lucky bastard' for me getting kissed on the cheek by another attractive girl.
She giggled upon seeing my expression before she stood up, "And you should ask Blake out."
Hearing this made my blush intensify. "Y-Yang!" I stammered. "I-It's not like that!"
"That what they all say before they ask the person out." She teased.
"YANG!" I stammered more, my blush intensifying. She laughed at my reaction before she walked out the door.
"You should ask her, Enrique. I can tell by the look in your eyes and it says it all." She hinted before she left the room.
What look was she talking about?
This made me heave a sigh before laying down to get rest and my energy back. I needed my rest after what happened upon using the Blazing Combo. Using that for the first time was awesome I gotta admit.
"So that was how it felt when Eiji experienced the power of TaJaDol…" I muttered to myself. It felt comforting but it also gave me the determination. Ankh must have been a very kind person in the past when he was in full power. I then slowly closed my eyes, letting the onset of sleep take over.
As the night past, I was sleeping since the doctor said I wasn't able to leave the infirmary until the next day. Suddenly, I had a cold chill running down my spine for some reason as this made me turn a bit as I pulled the blanket close to keep me warm.
I then heard the slight sound of a chair move causing me to open my eyes due to fighting instincts. When I opened them, there sat a woman wearing a shallow cut black dress, along with 5 necklaces with an assortment of beads, a red girdle-belt, and a pair of gauntlets along with a face mask which I recognized it was a mask that resembles a Grimm. By her side was an odachi. I know my Japanese history and such due to staying in Japan for two years because of my dad so I know the swords when I see one.
I felt intimidated just by the way she looks. More importantly, how did she get here without anyone knowing!? This got me both concerned, nervous, and alert and my Medajalibur is by the other chair, far from my reach.
"Who are you…?" I asked, wary of the woman.
She remained quiet as she stares at me. "Can you at least say something?" I asked again, wondering why she is staring at me.
"Are you a threat?" she questioned.
"What?" I asked, confused.
She got hold of the grip of her odachi, causing me to panic as she asked again, "Are you a threat?" And in an instant, she appeared next to me, her blade near my neck as she remained quiet as if waiting for me to answer her question.
"I-I don't know what you mean?" I gulped. She pointed at the O-Driver on my waist.
"A power of a Phoenix was only used by one man 800 years ago who nearly ruined the other kingdoms of Remnant." She informed. "And by showing me that... I assume you are related to that wretched man… So I ask again…. Are you a threat, boy?"
"Related? Hell no! I'm not related to that King!" I denied. "A-Ankh was the one who told me to use it when I first arrived in Vale to fight!"
"Ankh?" she growled, swinging her blade though I was able to dodge it in time, a cut mark did appear on my shirt, "That Bird was friends with that man… So if he is with you, then you are the enemy…."
"I-I'm not an enemy!" I panicked, crawling backward. "I'm only using the OOO armor to protect my friends! I-I don't want to make the same mistake of losing the people I call family!"
"Prove it then... Prove to me you will risk your life for this 'family' of yours..." She said, tossing me my Medajalibur.
I looked at my blade and then at her. "W-Why would I want to fight you…? I told you, I'm not an enemy! I just want to reach my hand out to help those around me."
"And as I said… prove it, boy." She frowned, swinging her blade at me.
My eyes widen before I quickly ducked from the blade before grabbing the Medajalibur and blocked her next strike, causing me to buckle from the strength from her swing.
I quickly reached for the King Combo and places in the medals into the buckle and titled it before scanning them. "Henshin!"
TAKA!
TORA!
BATTA!
TA-TO-BA TATOBA TA-TO-BA!
She glared at me, as she withdrew her blade, as she does, I noticed a small colored roulette on her sheath as it turned to black, as she pulled it out, the blade was now black as she made one swing, upon contact with me, my armor sparked before dissolving and forcing me back into my normal state.
"Don't you dare use that thing against me…" She said coldly, swinging her blade at me once more.
My eyes widen before bringing up my sword again but as it scrapes across my blade, her blade left a cut on my arm, causing me to wince as I moved away from her. I quickly made a run towards the door only to find her there.
"Pathetic…" She kneed me in the stomach hard, forcing me back towards the window.
I coughed upon the kick she delivered as I slowly looked up and saw her glaring down at me, her mask making it more ominous. I then looked down to see her blade already near my neck, inching closer towards my flesh.
"I don't want to die…" I closed my eyes. "I… I don't want anyone else to die around me… I already lost my family… but I don't want to make the same mistake by losing my friends…"
She frowned, and oddly enough, pulling her blade back as she sheaths it, "You really are different than him. It amazes me you have that much power without going mad with it…."
I slid to the ground as I held my hand close to my neck upon the blade was close to my neck. It honestly scared me… I looked up at the woman. "I… I just want to reach my hand out to help those around me... If there is a hand reaching for help, and I don't reach out when I can, the regret would make me wish I were dead...I reach out my hand because all I want is to help."
"Hmph… No wonder Akira sees potential in you." she sighed.
I perked up from hearing that. "How do you know Akira?" I asked, now wondering how the mystery woman knows him.
"He's a friend. But now that I know the truth… I can leave now." she slashes the air behind her, forming a red portal.
"Wait a minute, your voice. Why does it sound almost like Ya-…"
"Don't… even think of finishing that sentence…" She glared at me.
I flinched before she entered the portal and vanished. Still her voice… It almost sounded like Yang's but older… Just who was that woman?
Kougami stood in the middle of the street with a hardhat on. "The power of desire, it can create and destroy. Just like this here. This was the result of someone's desire." He looked at Aria and Felix who nodded while others began construction for the city while the Kougami Foundation assisted them. "SUBARASHI!"
In Vale, cleanup was taking place as well as some rebuilding. On top of one of the buildings, a figure watched what was going on. It then vanished, leaving behind a single red feather to be blown in the wind.
Back in Beacon, on top of a hill, Cinder stood out there, looking at the area, frowning. Emerald and Mercury walked up behind her. "What…. Happened?" She questioned them.
"Team RWBY, the OOO guy, and the red bird made things go awry with the train now gone as well as the breach being repaired," Mercury answered.
"Those stupid kids messed up the huge portion of our plan…. And now we lost too many White Fang members due to that cave in… will they even trust us again?" Emerald asked.
"They will only trust us." The two saw Adam and Kazari who was on his human form approaching them.
"It's better to have the White Fang trust their own kind than the humans," Kazari drawled. " it's only a matter of time…" He looks at the city. "The desire to destroy hope… The ambitions… Oh how fun it will be for us." He then grinned. 'The chess piece makes another move,'

"Y-You're asking me out on a date?" I stuttered, even feeling a blush rising up.
The blonde looked back at Enrique and Blake who were at a distance. "Alright, Ruby, Weiss, we are gonna follow those two!" She declared with a cheeky grin.
"What is wrong with me…" I muttered to myself.
