Coral was sitting in a bar drinking Valean ale when a man came up to her.
"You're not from around here." He said drunkenly.
"What tipped you off?" She asked.
"You're hot. None of the women in this town look very good. So, it's Kinda obvious."
Coral rolled her eyes. "Even if I liked guys the answer would still be no." She said draining her glass and pushing it towards the bartender.
"That's even better." He said getting excited. "My friends and I can watch you and..."
"I'm taken perv!" She snapped. "I won't cheat on her."
"Well, is she around here? Maybe..."
"Take the hint bub." A gruff voice said from behind them before Coral could say anything.
The man spun around. "Shove off you... oh. Logan." He said startled.
"Yeah. It's me. Now get out."
The man left.
"Sorry about Co there. He's mostly harmless."
"What?" Coral asked. "Am I supposed to say thank you? Go back to your place and fuck your brains out?"
"No." Logan said. "I'm much too old for you, and I know you could have handled yourself. I saw your guns. I was doing it, so Co didn't get killed."
"Oh. Sorry. It's just..."
"You don't have to apologize. Do you have a place to sleep tonight? If not, I'm sure my daughter wouldn't mind an extra guest for dinner."
"You make your daughter cook?"
"No, and before you think this is just another way to try and bed you. It's not. I work at the lumberyard on the other side of town, down by the river. My daughter has school, but because my late wife passed away, she's taken over some of the responsibilities at home."
"You really haven't convinced me this isn't some ploy to bed me."
He put his hand on the table and flicked three claws out.
She looked at the man's claws and flicked out two claws.
"So, I was right."
"What do you mean?"
"It's your scent."
"My what?"
"I have enhanced senses, and I can smell that you are like me."
"So, you're the reason I was created." Coral said.
"I suppose so."
"I don't blame you for trying to escape."
"I'm sorry for what you went through. I wouldn't wish that on anyone."
Coral just nodded as tears burned her eye's.
"What did they do to you?" Logan asked.
Coral looked around and wiped a tear from her eye. "Not here." She spoke.
"Let's go." Logan said.
They walked to a house and walked into the kitchen where a man was waiting for Logan.
"What are you doing here Creed?" Logan asked.
"I won this year." Creed said.
"Not now Creed."
"Who's the girl?"
"She's, my daughter."
"I just saw Gabby."
"No. She's another one."
"Oh." Creed said. "What happened kid?" He asked.
They sat down and Coral told them about her childhood in the facility causing both men to clench their fists in rage.
"They did what to you?" Creed asked.
"They made me kill my mom." Coral said wiping a tear from her eye.
"How old were you when that happened?" Logan asked.
"Fifteen."
"No older than Gabby." Creed said.
"I was locked in a cellar for two years with my mother's corpse." Coral cried. "I did what I had to, to survive."
Creed and Logan looked at each other knowing what she meant.
"After that I was found and went into a coma for three years. When I came out of my Coma, I met my girlfriend."
"What is she like?" Logan asked.
"I love her, but we had a fight, and I ran away so we can reevaluate our relationship."
The two men looked at each other.
"Come with me." Logan said.
Coral followed him out back.
Out in the back was a cemetery.
"Who are they?" Coral asked.
"They are those Creed and I loved. Our spouses and families. We've lived long lives. We're both almost four hundred years old."
"What? How is that possible?"
"Our Semblances are enhanced healing factors."
"Both of you?"
"Yes. We're stepbrothers. Same father different mothers. We're also both Faunus."
"What's his Faunus trait?"
He has a rare two traits. He has hidden claws under his fingernails and sharpened catlike teeth."
"And yours is the claws."
"Yup." Logan said flicking out his claws.
"What did they do to you in the facility before you escaped?"
"They increased my bone density to be stronger than any known metal. I can cut through metal with my bone claws."
"What else?"
"That's all I remember them doing to me. I was alive before the Great War and learned how to track. I have night vision thanks to being a Faunus. And I enhanced my other senses over the years. Take into account my rapid healing semblance and I could theoretically live forever."
"What about them?" She asked pointing at the graveyard.
"All my wives and children."
Coral looked at the gravestones.

Coral looked at the graves. "How did they all die?"
"Most of them came looking for revenge." Logan said. "The others either died of old age, because their bodies weren't meant to last, or they were murdered to get to me. So far Gabby is the only one still alive." He said running his finger over Gabrielle's name.
"Why do you have her name on the gravestone if she's still alive?"
"Because. They all die eventually. I'm cursed to live, but they will die. Gabby's Semblance is Rabid. It cuts off her pain receptors and makes her stronger and faster so she can kill more effectively."
"So, you just write their names on that monument, so you don't have to after they die?"
"Yeah." Logan said popping a claw out and carving Coral's name into the gravestone.
Coral Marin
Coral looked at the gravestone for a minute. "Would you make one for my mom? So, I have something to remember her by?"
"Yeah." Logan said. "I'll go do that right now. You said her name was Koa Maru, right?"
"Yeah."
"Okay."
Logan left her at the gravesite.
Creed came out a few minutes later.
"So. I see that Jimmy showed you this." He spoke.
"Why?"
"Look over there." He pointed at a second gravesite.
There was one gravestone.
It read.
Wife: Raven
Son: Graydon Creed
"Why do you only have one?"
"Because. I only married once. I had one kid. He told me to shove it, and I never got married or had kids again. Granted I still have sex all the time, but the only way they get pregnant is if they know they will be raising the kid themselves."
Coral sat and thought about that for a bit.
"He has a gravestone for Raven too. Why?"
"Because. She was the same woman. She was having a three-way relationship with me, Jimmy, and some other guy. Don't know his name, don't care to know his name, but she left and never came back so we assume she's dead."
"Raven black hair? Bandit?"
"No. There's some bitch out in Anima with the same name, but it's not her. This Raven was blue, orange hair, and her Semblance was Shapeshifting. So, it's not that skank."
"Okay."
They sat in silence a while longer.
"When I first came in you said that you won this year. What did you mean?"
"Oh. You need to understand that Jimmy and I are old. Really old."
"He said that you were four hundred years old."
"Five hundred actually."
"What? Where did that one hundred years come from?"
"Jimmy forgot about one hundred of those years because he was tortured. Even he can only take so much brain damage."
"What happened?"
"He's had his brain cut in half, been shot in the brain, had stuff shoved into his eyes, ears, and nose to get to his brain. He's forgotten about one hundred years' worth of memories."
"I didn't know."
"No. You didn't. No one on Remnant does. It all started about three hundred years before the Great War. Jimmy and I met in another war, on opposing sides, and we found that we couldn't be killed. Even with head shots. So, we made it our mission to try and kill each other."
"So, what happened?"
"The Great War happened. After the Great War we decided to stop our fight because we weren't going to die. So, Jimmy suggested that we come here and start a town. We took a bunch of the survivors and started this town. Then we fought over who got to be mayor. The winner would be mayor for the next year."
"Okay."
"That's when it happened."
"What happened?"
"I was winning and stayed as Mayor until Jimmy didn't come back one year."
"The facility?"
"Yeah. I left Brian in charge and left to find him."
"So, what. You let his families stay here while he was out in the wilderness?"
"Yeah. I was like the uncle, and never took advantage of his families. I protected them, and on the rare chance that he beat me he was here for a year."
"Okay. So?"
"I found him out in the wilderness buck ass naked and passed out on the ground. I brought him back, and when he woke up, he attacked me in a blood rage."
"I can imagine."
"He kicked my ass, and when he came down from the blood rage, he told us what happened. They found him and injected him with so many chemicals that it's not funny. They made his bones denser than the densest metals. Amplified his Semblance to the point that it's constantly running and uses no Aura whatsoever. They enhanced his senses to the point that he knows we're talking about this and can hear us as if he were sitting here. His hearing, sense of smell, eyesight, touch, taste. All of them have been enhanced. They also made it possible to control him. We found that out the hard way. Won't tell you how. Not that I don't trust you, I don't, but that's a secret I'm taking to my grave."
"I don't even want to know. The ability to control someone is messed up."
"Good. They also gave him, what he calls, a berserk mode. His body goes into this weird fight or flight mode, and he will kill whatever is in his path."
"Sounds crazy."
"Some of his kids went crazy and tried to kill the town, and he used that berserk mode to kill them."
"That's pretty fucked up."
"Tell me about it."
"We haven't really lived pleasant lives. While Jimmy lived in an estate, I was simply a lowly gardener boy. I guess the reason Jimmy's the way he is, is because he knows what it's like to be hated.
His mom cheated on his dad with their groundskeeper, and it resulted in him.
They didn't know that the groundskeeper was a Faunus, otherwise they wouldn't have hired him. They were one of those high and mighty, holier than thou, stuck up snobs. One day the groundskeeper got piss ass drunk and went to the house to spend the night with his mom, but his dad was there and tried stopping him."
"I'm guessing that the groundskeeper killed his "dad" and Logan killed him?"
"Yup." Creed said popping the p. "That's when Logan was thrown out by his mom for being a Faunus. He popped his claws and ran his bio-dad through."
"Yikes."
"Tell me about it. Anyway, he ran away, and did odd jobs here and there until the war we met in. The first Faunus civil war. He was on the side of the humans because he was ashamed of his Faunus heritage. My sister and I were on the side of the Faunus to kill the Humans."
"I didn't know you had a sister."
"We... separated after a while. I don't like talking about it."
They sat in silence for a while.
"I'm going to go inside. See you around kid." He said leaving.
Coral sat there looking at the graves when Logan came back out carrying a Gravestone.
He placed it in the graveyard and dug a hole in the ground before placing the gravestone in the hole and moving the dirt back around it.
On the gravestone said:
Mother: Koa Maru
Daughter: Coral Marin
"Thank you." Coral said.
"You're welcome."
Logan went inside the house. "I'll be inside if you want to talk."
"Thanks." Coral said. "I'm just going to stay out here for a bit."
"Suit yourself." Logan said walking into the house.
Coral walked over and sat next to the grave.
"Mom." She said feeling her throat close as the tears started rolling down her cheeks. "I'm sorry." She cried. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to kill you. I didn't want to kill you. I'm sorry."
She grabbed the gravestone and sobbed against it letting out all of her anguish and pain in her sobs.
She felt something move against her foot, but she ignored it.
She felt the movement again, but still didn't move.
When she finished grieving, she wiped her eyes and looked around to see an animal looking at her.
"Hello." The animal said. "My name is Jonathan. What is your name?"
"My name is Coral. How can you talk?"
"Gabby unlocked my Aura, and my Semblance activated. My Semblance is the ability to communicate. How are you? Why are you sad? What happened?"
Coral sat against the gravestone and looked at Jonathan. "I was forced to kill my mother."
"I see. I am sorry."
"Thanks, but that's not even the worst part. I cannibalized my mother's body to survive being trapped in a cellar for two years. I desecrated her body."
Jonathan laid next to Coral. "I am sorry that you had to do that. We tend to do things we often regret. I regret abandoning my family when I escaped with Gabby."
"I'm sorry about your family."
"Thank you for your concern. I left my family to escape the torture I underwent, and I regret it every day I wake up, but I try and be better than I was the day before to honor their memories. I think that if you try to be better than you were the day before. I think that your mother will forgive you."
"You're really wise for a... what are you? A wolverine? A badger?"
"He's a Wolverine." A younger girl's voice said.
Coral looked up and saw a young girl, about fifteen years old looking at her.
"I take it that you're Gabby?" She asked.
"Yeah." Gabby said. "Can I sit down?"
"Yeah." Cora said.
Gabby sat down and began rubbing Jonathan's side.
Jonathan just panted happily.
"So, you're my sister I guess." Gabby began.
"Yeah." Coral answered.
"It's nice to have a sister again."
"I have a brother-in-law. He's my..." Coral thought about Loki. 'Hm. What is Loki to me? My girlfriend, lover, fiancé, wife?'
"Your what?" Gabby asked.
"We haven't really defined our relationship."
"Do you like her?"
"Yes."
"Do you love her?"
"Yes."
"Then maybe you need to take the next step."
"We had a fight and are taking a break."
"Maybe you guys fought because she wants you to decide what you guys mean to each other and wants to take the next step."
"How did you get to be this smart?"
"Ninjas of love." Gabby said. "I've read all of them and wish that something like that could happen to me."
"Find a Ninja who has been exiled from his clan and finds love. I would want something like that."
"Okay." Coral said. "When you find your Ninja, let me know."
"You're mocking me, aren't you?" Gabby asked.
"No. I actually Know someone who reads "Ninjas of love." They really like it."
"It's a really good book."
"It's also an adult themed book."
Gabby blushed red.
"Don't worry. I won't tell your dad or anything."
"Oh good."
They sat in silence, enjoying each other's company for a few minutes before Creed came out.
"Hey." He spoke. "Want to watch me kick your dad's ass before he leaves for the year?"
"My dad will kick your ass uncle Creed." Gabby said.
"Want to make a wager?"
"Yeah. If My dad wins you have to convince him to let me travel over the summer."
"Oh, this again." Creed said.
"You aren't scared, are you?" Gabby challenged.
"Me? Scared? Never."
"Then you won't have a problem making the bet."
"Fine." Creed said. "But if I win... you have to... Clean the bathroom for the whole year."
"I already do that."
"With a toothbrush."
"UGH."
"I guess you don't want to travel this summer?"
"Fine!"
"Okay. So, if your dad wins, I'll convince him to let you travel, but if he loses then you have to clean the bathroom with a toothbrush for a year."
"Fine."
"Shake on it." Creed said holding his hand out.
Gabby grabbed Creed's hand and shook it.
'It would be hilarious if he made her use her toothbrush.' The Abomination said.
'Oh, there you are.' Coral said. 'Shut up.'
'Wow. You can be mean. Is it a protective streak to protect your little sister?'
'I may have just met her, but if anything were to happen to her, I would break everyone who was with her before killing them.'
'Whoa. Edgy. Should we try it?'
'Do it, and I'll kill you.'
'That would mean killing yourself.'
'Do. It. And. I'll. Kill. You.'
'Okay. I get the point.'
'Good.'
"Let's go." Gabby said grabbing Coral's hand and leading her outside.
They saw Logan standing outside waiting for them.
"I heard what you said. If I win you can travel this summer, but only if you don't go alone."
"WHAT! You're going to send me with a babysitter?"
"I was going to ask Coral if she would let you travel with her."
Gabby looked at Coral. "Fine, but only because I know how dangerous it is out there."
"Good."
"That being said." Creed said. "I forfeit this fight."
"WHAT!" Everyone yelled.
"Yeah. I want Gabby to be able to experience life outside of this town. I want her to see what the rest of Remnant has to offer, the good, and the bad. Don't think we won't fight. That fight was to determine if Gabby got to travel. This fight determines who runs the town for the next year."
"All right." Logan said cracking his knuckles.
Creed cracked his neck and got ready.
There was a tense silence before the two shot towards each other.
Creed grabbed Logan by his head and slammed him into the ground leaving an impression of Logan.
Logan pushed himself out of the impression and rolled out of the way before spinning and kicking Creed in the back of the legs knocking him down and punching him in the ear.
Creed yelled out in pain but rolled over and to his feet before catching the next punch that Logan threw before throwing Logan away.
Logan spun in midair and landed on his feet before flicking his claws out and running at Creed.
Creed grew his claws out and ran at Logan.
The two clashed and Creed mowed Logan down before curb stomping him into the ground.
Logan grabbed dirt and flung it into Creeds eyes before getting up and throwing piston like punches with his claws still extended flinging blood everywhere.
Creed grabbed Logan's head and lofted him in the air slamming him down and throwing him into a tree.
There was a slicking sound and the tree fell towards Creed with a creak of wood and a crash.
The tree moved a few inches before it stopped moving all together.
Cora watched the bloodiest fight she had ever seen as two bloodthirsty monsters tried tearing each other apart.
"GET HIM DAD!" Gabby yelled to Logan.
"I am on Gabby's side." a Jonathan said.
Logan walked over to the tree and looked at Creed.
"Yield." He spoke.
Creed threw the tree off him and onto Logan.
"Let's see you get out of this." Creed laughed putting his foot on the tree pushing it into Logan's chest.
Logan kicked up and sent his foot into Creed's ass kicking him off him before rolling the tree off him and kicking Creed again.
Creed swiped his leg to try and knock Logan over, but Logan jumped up and brought his full weight down on Creed's knee, breaking it at the kneecap.
"AAAHHHH!" Creed yelled. "Fucking shrimp!"
Logan got off and kicked Creed in the face breaking his nose and jaw.
He picked Creed up and threw him onto the tree breaking his ribs before turning him and around and picking him up again.
He went to throw Creed on the tree again to break his back, but Coral grabbed him.
She turned him around and punched him in the face hard enough to break his nose.
"What the fuck is wrong with you!" She yelled. "He's beaten and broken, and you want to break his fucking back! What the hell! Gabby is over there cheering for you to kill him! What the fuck kind of a life is that for her! Pretty soon she's going to think it's okay to break people's backs because they made her mad! If this is the place, she lives in then I'm taking her away from it! This is too violent for her!"
"It wouldn't have killed him." Logan said.
"But your teaching Gabby that it's okay to do that! It's not! I should know!"
"Wow. You're the only person who's actually said anything like that. You're pretty ballsy."
"You better fucking believe it! Now put him down!"
Logan put Creed down.
Creed moved, but Coral put her claws in front of him.
"Don't fucking try it!" She snarled.
Creed sat back against the tree and let his Healing factor take over.
Coral glared at the two men. "Now you listen to me. I'm taking Gabby away for the next year. When we come back You guys better figure out a way to get along without kicking the ever-loving shit out of each other? Am I understood!"
"Yes." Logan and Creed said trying to hide smiles.
"You think this is funny! You need to set a good example for your daughter and niece! Killing each other because you can, is not a good example. What if she thinks that now she can kill anyone, and they will just get back up! Seriously! 500 years of life should teach you to think with your fucking brain and not your Dick!"
"GRIMM!" A voice yelled.
Everyone went on guard as a man came running up to them.
"What's wrong Diam?" Logan asked.
"Grimm! They are coming from the Lumberyard."
"Let's go!" Logan yelled.
'Don't forget the Harkonnen II backpack or Anti-Grimm rifle!' The Abomination said.
Coral ran in and grabbed her bag and the rifle before running after Logan, Gabby, and Creed.
When they got to the Lumber yard, they saw dozens of Grimm.
"GOLIATH'S!" A voice yelled.
Coral looked around and saw a wall of Goliath's coming right at them.
"FALL BACK!" She yelled.
Logan and Creed looked at her.
She lowered the legs of the Harkonnen II backpack to the floor and the backpack unfolded into twin heavy duty assault rifles with belt fed ammunition.
"Fall Back!" Logan and Creed yelled in unison.
Once everyone was behind Coral, she looked at the Goliath's.
"GET SOME!" She yelled pulling the triggers and shot massive exploding tipped rounds at the Goliath's.
"Holy Shit!" Creed yelled.
Coral began being pushed back from the force of the Harkonnen.
Logan pushed against her to try and help, but it was too much. He was getting pushed back too.
Creed and Gabby also helped push against Coral, but the recoil was a bitch.
Coral could feel them pushing against her, but if she didn't stop soon, she might end up hurting them.
Then the Goliath's burst into darkness.
She stopped firing and looked at the Harkonnen II before it folded back in on itself.
She shook her hands to get some feeling back into them, but the Grimm had other plans.
They charged in and began tearing through the villagers.
"Coral!" Logan shouted.
"Get Gabby out of here! I'll find you guys! I promise! Just get Gabby out of here! Now!"
Coral grabbed Gabby. She knew that Logan wouldn't tell them to leave unless he was sure of the threat. It must be bad.
"Come on." Coral said.
"No!" Gabby argued. "I won't leave!"
"I'm sorry Gabby, but you don't have a choice. If your dad says we need to leave, then we need to leave."
"He's your dad too! And you're abandoning him to die!"
'I'm taking over.' The Abomination said.
Corals eyes changed from blue to crimson red. "Now listen here Gabby. You wanted to leave your home. Well now here's your chance. If you don't know, there are close to three dozen Grimm heading this way. Chances are, everyone is going to die. Now do you want to die with them, or do you want to live?"
Gabby looked back and saw her dad and uncle fighting against the Grimm as the rest of the villagers fought but started to fall.
"I LOVE YOU GUYS!" She shouted before turning and running into the forest with Jonathan running beside her.
Coral took off after her, but not before dropping the Harkonnen II backpack.
She put her bag on and slung the Harkonnen II Anti-Grimm rifle over her shoulder and took off after Gabby.
They ran until Gabby collapsed from exhaustion. "I can't run anymore." She sobbed.
"We'll stop here for the night." Coral said dropping her bag.
Jonathan laid down next to Gabby panting heavily.
"How are you not out of breath?" Jonathan asked.
"I can run for eight hours straight if I need to, and that's before my Semblance gets involved."
"What's your semblance?"
Coral waved her hand over Gabby and Jonathan. "It's called Invigorate. It lets me boost a person's stamina and heal them. My girlfriend and I use it a lot."
"Why?" Gabby asked.
"So, we can make love all night long." Coral said without thinking.
Gabby went ramrod straight. "That's not something you tell your sister." She spoke.
"Sorry." Coral apologized.
"It's okay. I've read worse in "Ninja's of Love". There's a scene in there that every girl fantasizes about."
"Do you mean page 243?"
"Yeah. How did you know about it?"
"Please. I used to work for the Valean government. When that book came out all of the girls were so flushed and horny. When I asked them why they gave me an extra copy. I read it, and when I read page 243, I'd be lying if I said it didn't make me wet."
"Ew!" Gabby yelled.
"What?" Coral asked. "It's a normal bodily reaction to arousal."
"Yeah, but you don't talk about it!"
"What. Are you saying that you've never pleasured yourself?"
"I have..." Gabby began. "It's just weird talking about it."
"You couldn't talk to Logan or Creed could you."
"No."
"Want to talk to me about it?"
"I don't know."
"I'm not going to force you to talk about it. Just know that if you want to talk, I'm here."
"Okay."
"I'm going to go find some food." Coral said getting up.
"What are you going to find?"
"Whatever I can. Nuts, berries, meat, whatever I can find."
"Okay."
"Don't worry. I'll be back."
Coral left the campsite.
While Coral was gone Gabby looked around the campsite.
She saw the Harkonnen II and tried picking it up.
'What the hell? Why is it so heavy?'
"What's wrong?" Jonathan asked.
"It's heavy. Really heavy."
"Are you lifting with your legs?"
"It wouldn't matter." Coral said walking back into camp. "That is made out of black silver. Silver that has been forged with Gravity Dust. It's heavier than any known metal except Gravmium."
She set down the wild pig she'd caught and pulled one of the 'Jackals' from its holster.
"This is also made out of black silver." She said handing one of the 'Jackals' to Gabby.
Gabby took the 'Jackal' and nearly fell from the weight. "How can you lift this!" She gasped.
"I was tortured from birth to be stronger, and my strength was enhanced when I took on the spirit of an Abominable Herald."
"Really?"
"Yes." The Abomination said turning to face Gabby with the crimson red eyes. "Hello. We met earlier."
"What are you?"
"My original name was Vlad Tepes, but I have had many names as the God of Darkness's Abomination. Including Dracula and Alucard."
"So, what are you?"
"I am the God of Darkness's Abomination."
"So... you're an Abomination?"
"Yes."
"That's kind of mean."
"Not at all. This vessel does not like fighting. I am her sword, and she is my shield."
"Is that a good thing?"
"Yes. She is a pacifist. She doesn't like fighting considering her past."
"What happened to her?"
"It's not a tale for the weak of heart."
"I think I can handle it."
"Very well." The Abomination said.
She told Gabby Coral's backstory.
The horror on Gabby's face intensified as the Abomination told Coral's backstory.
When the Abomination finished Gabby wrapped her arms around Coral, and the Abomination faded.
"What's going on?" Coral asked.
"I'm so sorry." Gabby sobbed into Coral's chest.
"Um. Did I miss something?" Coral asked.
"The Abomination told me what happened."
'I'm going to castrate you with a rusty carving knife.' Coral growled at the Abomination.
'Oh no. I'm so terrified. How are you going to do that when you don't have the merchandise?'
'I'll find a way.'
Coral carved up the wild pig and roasted some over a fire that Gabby started.
"We'll stay here for a couple of days." Coral said. "If we meet Logan and Creed then we can decide what to do next. If not... I guess we'll just keep walking until we meet them or get to Haven Academy."
"Why Haven?"
"That's where my brothers' friends are going. We'll go there, catch up, and plan our next move."
"Okay." Gabby said eating the leg that Coral had roasted for her.
Meanwhile.
Logan cut down the last Grimm.
"What the hell!" He spat. "Why are there so many Grimm?"
"I don't..." Creed began but stopped as his head was flung off.
Logan spun around and blocked the sword with his claws only to feel pain.
He looked at his claws to see that the sword was embedded halfway into them.
"The hell?"
"I'm surprised." The angry, spite-filled voice said. "Normally this blade can cut through anything."
"I don't know who you are." Logan snarled. "But that was your last mistake!" He cut up cutting the mask off the guy's face and leaving three scratches along the brand.
He spun around and kicked the guy to the floor.
The guy landed with his butt in the air.
He pushed himself up and cut at Logan cutting along his chest.
Logan jumped back allowing his attacker to get up.
The guy swung his sword letting out a burst of red energy that hit Logan burning his flesh before he cut Logan's arms and legs trying to cut them off but getting stopped by Logan's dense bones.
Logan knocked the sword from the guy's hands and kicked him in the face sending him into the air before grabbing his foot and slamming him into the ground four times and throwing him into a tree.
The guy fell to the floor unconscious.
Logan looked at his body and noticed how slowly it was healing.
He tried to actively activate his Semblance but couldn't. He grabbed Creeds body and head and pulled them into the forest.
He didn't know how long he walked, but eventually his wounds caught up with him and he dropped Creed before dropping a few feet away and crawling away a few more feet.
His hand wrapped around something, and he heard something in his voice.
'You are worthy of wielding my power. I am Mob Mentality.'
The next morning Gabby woke up to the smell of cooking meat.
She got up and looked around.
She saw Coral cooking the other legs and slicing the rest of the pig into quarter inch slices before sitting them on the rocks next to the campfire.
"We'll make jerky out of this so we can take it with us." Coral said.
"Okay. Do you think dad and Creed are okay?"
"They should be." I don't know of much that could kill people like them."
"What could?"
"When I worked for the Valean government I learned about different kinds of Dust that when mixed together can create deadly combinations. There are also certain Semblances that could kill people like them. Then the scariest thing I learned."
"What?"
"There are ancient weapons with deadly abilities."
"L-like what?" Gabby stammered.
"Each kingdom found a weapon that they keep hidden deep in their armories.
Mistral has a Spear that could propel the wielder's opponent away at Mach one.
Atlas has a Scythe that can raise and control the dead.
Vacuo has a Mace that can create earthquake level forces wherever it hits.
And Vale had a kris dagger that could inflict a plague on whoever was cut with it."
"What do you mean had?"
"My friends and family helped clear Vale and Beacon of Grimm. I broke in and took the kris and also took a Crown that allows the wearer to see the future from the hiding place."
"Where was it?"
"Hidden in plain sight. The guy who built Beacon placed it on the statue in the fountain at the front of the school. I saw it, and figured if someone hid it there, there was probably a reason."
"Where is it now?"
"With Loki."
"Do you like Loki? Like really like her?"
"Of course. I love her."
"Then I think you need to put a ring on her finger."
Coral sat straight up and looked at Gabby.
"What?" Gabby asked.
"Nothing. It's just... we separated because we had a fight."
"So. People who love each other fight all the time. The only thing that matters is making up. If you really love her. Then you need to show her rather than tell her, and if she really loves you then she won't let a stupid fight get between your love."
"Your kind of smart when it comes to this, you know that?"
"I try."
"We'll rest up. We leave in a couple of days, and we won't stop except for lunch and to sleep, but I'll be using my Semblance to let us run as long as possible."
"Okay." Gabby said grabbing a leg from the fire and chowing down.
After breakfast Coral looked at Gabby.
"So, what is your trait and Semblance?"
"This." Gabby said extending her long, razor sharp claws.
The whites of her eyes glowed red and she attacked Coral with a strength and speed that belied her stature.
But Coral took her down easily.
"What was that?" Gabby asked.
"That was me flexing my abilities." Coral said with a mischievous smile. "I've never had a sister. So, I guess I have a lot of catching up to do."
"Oh no." Gabby whined. "You have older sibling syndrome."
"What's that?"
"It means that since you're the older sister you can do whatever you want because you're older and stronger."
"That sounds like a terrible way of being an older sibling."
"Yet here you are doing just that."
"Oh. Sorry."
"It's okay. It's more annoying than anything.
Coral took something out of her bag.
"Here you go." She said handing Gabby a folded-up cloth.
"What is it?" Gabby asked unfolding the cloth to see... "A Fan?"
"Yeah. It's called 'Beckon'. It's a Fan/Buzzsaw blade."
"Really?"
"Yeah, but be careful. It's both an elegant tool, and a deadly weapon. I can show you how to use it properly."
"Show me!" Gabby pleaded.
"Okay." Coral said getting up. "First thing you need to know is that the Fan can be used as a weapon too."
"Really?"
"Yes." She said hitting Gabby on the top of the head.
"Ow." Gabby said rubbing her head.
"See. Next is that you can hit with the butt of the Fan." She said tapping the butt of the Fan on Gabby's head. "Though this is more for gouging than anything else."
"Okay. What else?"
"Well." Coral said snapping the Fan creating a loud pop.
"Whoa." Gabby said.
"Yup. You can also slice with the Fan." She sliced at a tree, making a cut in the bark.
"That is so cool!"
"You'll have to practice with it, but yes. It is cool."
"What about the saw blade?" Gabby asked jumping up and down.
Coral spun the Fan with enough force to cause the metal to expand until it connected leaving a saw blade with a hole in the center.
Coral spun the saw blade around her finger before grabbing it and throwing it out towards a tree and slicing through it before the blade came back.
"Whoa! How did you do that?"
"Simple. I learned how to ark the blade to return."
"I didn't see it."
"That's because you weren't paying attention. Watch again."
Coral threw the blade in slow motion showing Gabby the movements of what she did to get it to come back.
"How can making those movements cause the blade to come back?"
"How are the Mistrailean assassins able to curve their bullets to hit their targets?" Coral asked.
"THEY WHAT!"
"Yeah. The Mistrailean Assassin's. The Atlesian Ace Ops. The Vacuan Cartel. The Valean T and I. The Menagerie Guerilla's. And the Mantel Rebels."
"TMI? What's that?"
"Not TMI. T and I . It means torture and interrogation."
"Oh. Is that what you were a part of?"
"Yes. I was the one they called when they couldn't break someone or needed them broken quickly."
"Oh."
"Yeah. I never told Loki about what I did. I always told her that I worked for the Kingdom. Any day I wasn't home I was out in Vale looking for people who hurt my family, and their friends. I killed the monsters who hurt Loki."
"What did they do?"
"I don't know who her parents were, but the people who hurt her used her as a drug mule, and when she stopped being useful to them, they used a..." Coral took in a breath, and wiped tears away. "... they took a cattle prod and stabbed it into her chest."
Gabby held her hands to her mouth. "They did what?"
"They stabbed her with a cattle prod, stopped her heart, and threw her out with the trash." Coral said wiping her eyes.
"I will eat them." Jonathan said.
"Thanks." Coral said scratching him behind the ears. "But they are already dead. I killed them all."
"Really?"
"Yeah. The people who made me wanted a killer, and they got one."
They waited for a week before they headed out.
While they waited Coral taught Gabby how to use 'Beckon'.
She also taught her how to hunt and scavenge.
"Now?" Gabby whispered as they watched the pig.
"Not yet." Coral whispered.
"Now?"
"Not yet."
"Now?"
"Not ye... now."
Gabby took off after the pig, startling it.
She jumped at the pig and slit the pig's throat.
"Good job." Coral said. "But don't get cocky. Next hunt might not go so easily."
"Okay. I won't."
They made some more Jerky and one week after they got there they left.
"I'm sure Logan will be able to follow our scent." Coral said. "Let's go."
"Okay." Gabby said.
They walked until Gabby started feeling tired.
"I'm tired." Gabby whined.
Coral looked up and saw that they had about an hour until noon.
She waved her hand over Gabby and Jonathan increasing their stamina.
"We can stop in an hour." She said and took off running again.
They ran for an hour until Coral stopped.
She took out three pieces of Jerky and handed two to Gabby who gave one to Jonathan.
They were eating when there was rustling in the bushes.
They jumped up and snapped their claws out.
"Whoa!" A Faunus girl said putting her hands up. "I didn't mean anything! Please don't hurt me!"
"Come out of there." Gabby said harshly.
Coral smacked Gabby. "Say you're sorry."
"What? Why?"
"Because. She's not a threat."
"Fine." Gabby said crossing her arms over her chest. "Sorry."
"It's okay." Coral said soothingly. "You can come out. We won't hurt you."
The girl poked her head out to reveal scale like plates going from her eyebrows back behind her head. "Are you sure?" She squeaked.
"Yeah. We won't hurt you. You can trust us."
The girl came out of the bushes to reveal that she had those same plates all along the back of her body.
"Hey." Coral said looking at the girls tattered clothes. "What happened?"
"My village was attacked by bandits. They took my mother's necklace." She said holding up a necklace that had a stylized A in a circle with a scratch going through the A. "I was taken, and I grabbed my mom's necklace and ran."
"How long ago did they take you?"
"Two weeks. They kept all of the children alive to cook, clean, and I heard some of them crying in the night. I finally grabbed the necklace when I was supposed to be cleaning and ran."
Coral waved her hand over the girl and increased her stamina.
"Here. Let me go gather some food for you." She spoke. "Gabby. Behave."
Gabby looked at Coral with a 'Yes Mom.' Look.
Coral left looking for food.
"Sorry." Gabby said. "For being mean."
"It's fine." The girl said.
"I'm Gabby. What's your name?"
"Onyx." The girl said.
"That's a nice name."
"My name is Jonathan." Jonathan said.
"Who said that?" Onyx asked.
"That's Jonathan." Gabby said. "He's my pet Wolverine. His Aura and Semblance are unlocked, and that's how he can talk."
"I see."
"Is your Aura or Semblance unlocked?" Gabby asked.
"No. My mom was going to unlock mine on my sixteenth Birthday in two weeks."
"Oh. I'm sorry."
Gabby sat there until she got an idea. "Hey. What if Coral does it?"
"What of Coral does what?" Coral asked coming back with her shirt full of fruit, nuts, and berries.
"Can you unlock her Aura?"
"I've never unlocked a person's Aura before. I don't even know what to say."
"You just have to say something that means something to you. It's just a way to concentrate on unlocking the others Aura."
"Okay." Coral thought back to try and find something, anything that she could use to unlock a person's Aura. And she thought of something.
She put her hands on either side of Onyx's head.
It was shortly after she went and killed the men who hurt Loki all those years ago.
Coral walked into their room covered in the men's blood.
Loki came out of their bathroom and saw Coral.
"Coral what happened?" She asked worried.
"I killed the men who hurt you." Coral said in a dead voice.
"Coral. Why would you do that? I'm not..."
Coral grabbed Loki's face and kissed with such a passion and hunger that it scared Loki for a split second before she calmed down and kissed Coral back.
"Don't you ever demean yourself like that again." Coral scolded softly. "You are my sun, moon, and stars. You are the reason I get up in the morning. The reason I choose to live. Without you my life means nothing."
Loki cupped Coral's face in her hands and looked her in the eyes. "You're my whole world. Do you know what I would do if I lost you?"
"Destroy Remnant?"
"I would kill everyone on Remnant and then myself. I couldn't live without you."
Loki pulled Coral up and into the bathroom where she washed Coral of all the blood before wrapping her in a towel.
"Let's make a vow." Loki said.
"Okay."
"Repeat after me."
"By my legs I carry you from danger. By my arms I fight for your freedom. By my eyes I will always watch your back. By my heart I will always love you. By my back I will always defend you. By my lips I will always praise your deeds, call out your mistakes, and speak my love for you."
Coral recited the oath, and Loki sealed the oath with a kiss.
"There." Loki said. "Now don't do anything like that again."
"Only if you promise me the same thing."
"I promise." Loki said.
Coral looked at Onyx and spoke.
"By my legs I carry you from danger. By my arms I fight for your freedom. By my eyes I will always watch your back. By my heart I will always love you. By my back I will always defend you. By my lips I will always praise your deeds, call out your mistakes, and speak my love for you."
Onyx was surrounded by a Honey colored Aura.
"What is this?" She squeaked . "I feel so warm."
"That's your Aura." Gabby explained. "Eventually you'll get a Semblance, and you'll be really awesome."
"Okay."
Coral dropped to a knee. "Whoa." She spoke.
"Coral!" Gabby yelled. "Are you all, right?"
"Yeah." Coral said. "I'm just a little tired is all."
"Then I guess that means you're ripe for the taking." A sadistic voice said from the brush.
'I'm taking over.' Vlad said switching out with Coral and picking up the 'Jackals'.
"Get on your knees!" A harsh voice yelled.
"I'm not your mother last night!" Vlad yelled, shooting one of their would-be attackers in the knee cap.
"Open fire!" The harsh voice yelled.
"How's your guy's Health Plan?" Vlad asked before they started shooting.
"Apparently it's great!" Vlad said shooting their attackers.
Onyx grabbed Gabby and Jonathan and held them in front of her turning her back towards their attackers.
Several bullets hit her plates and they cracked.
The pain caused her aura to activate and protect them.
She felt something pulling at her.
She grabbed it, and it felt like something deep inside her body woke up.
Her scales hardened to the point that the bullets ricocheted off her scales and back into the brush.
The fire fight was over as quickly as it began, leaving three of the bandits alive.
"Whoops." Vlad said. "Looks like I missed some."
"They are mine!" Onyx yelled running at the men before beating them to death with her fists.
She turned around and glared at Vlad. "YOU!" She yelled. "You're a monster!"
"Excuse me. I'm a fuck-mothering Vampire, and I expect to be treated as such."
"Then die!" Onyx yelled.
"STOP!" Gabby yelled, throwing herself in between the two.
Coral took over her body again and threw the 'Jackal's'.
"Fuck you Vlad!" She yelled. "You almost got Gabby and Onyx hurt! That's it! You are banned from using my body until you can learn how to control yourself!"
"But..."
"NO! SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LEAVE ME ALONE UNTIL I SAY YOU CAN COME BACK OUT!"
Vlad went quiet.
"Let's go." Coral panted grabbing her gear and started walking.
Gabby grabbed 'Beckon' before handing Onyx the shirt full of fruit, nuts, and berries.
She nodded towards Coral, and the trio began walking.
They walked until it got dark and set up camp.
Every day they walked until it got dark and made camp for the night.
Once the sun was shining, they packed up and continued walking.
They only stopped for lunch and to sleep.
After a week of traveling like this they made it to a town.
"Come on." Coral said. "We are almost there."
They walked another hour until they came face to face with...
"Loki." Coral said."
Loki wrapped Coral in a hug. "Oh Gods!" Loki sobbed. "Coral! I'm so happy you're here. I'm so sorry!"
"It's okay." Coral said rubbing Loki's back before she kissed Loki.
Loki relaxed and deepened the kiss, breathing in Coral's scent.
Corals outdoorsy scent.
She didn't care. She separated Corals lips with her tongue and wrapped her tongue around Corals and running it all over Coral's mouth.
Coral didn't try and stop Loki. If anything, she tried to make it last forever.
She caught Loki's tongue with hers and the two moaned into each other's mouth.
When they separated from their embrace, they had thick strands of saliva connecting their mouths.
They hugged again, and this time they cried.
Gabby and Onyx looked at the two in varying shades of disgust.
"I'm so sorry Coral." Loki said. "I wasn't thinking, and I..."
Coral kissed Loki to stop her from talking. "It's okay. There is only one thing I want right now."
"Hello." Blake said coming up to them.
"Hi Blake." Coral said tersely.
"Oh. Was I interrupting something? Sorry. I just came by to say hello. I was on my way into town."
"Yeah. You kind of were interrupting something."
"I'm so sorry..."
"Are you and Loki going to make up now?" Gabby asked.
"Don't worry." Coral said. "We are. I'm going to use page 243."
Both Blake and Gabby blushed crimson at that.
Blake began rubbing her thighs together, and a small moan escaped her lips. Experiencing page 243 had been a fantasy of hers since she read it, and she wanted it so badly.
She looked around for Sun.
Gabby looked at Coral. "You're mean. You know that. Page 243 is on every girls fantasy list."
"We'll be sure to listen, because I'm going to make Loki scream my name."
Gabby blushed and ran away taking Onyx with her.
"What was that all about?" Loki asked.
"Don't worry about it." Coral said picking Loki up bridal style. "Then only thing you need to worry about is what you're going to wear when we finally tie the knot."
"Wait. What?" Loki asked in shock.
Coral moved her arm and began rubbing Loki through her pants.
"Loki Saki. Will you marry me?"
Loki grabbed Coral's face and kissed hard enough to take their breath away.
When she finished, she spoke. "Coral Marin. I will marry the ever-loving hell out of you."
"Good." Coral said before Loki shrieked in Bliss as she soaked her pants.
"Looks like you really needed that." Coral said.
Loki tucked her head against Coral's shoulder.
"I don't deserve you." Loki said with a sniff.
Coral kissed Loki on the head and walked them to Loki's room in the house.
'You're wrong.' She thought. 'I don't deserve you.'
AN: Coral's Father is Logan, her Uncle is Victor Creed, and her Sister is Gabrielle Kinney. I took material from comics, movies, shows, anime, and games to come up with Coral's family so it's not based on just one comic. A lot of different material for the Wolverine Fandom went into them. Onyx was me expanding on what what type of Faunus could be in the RWBY-verse. She is a Pangolin Faunus with scales all down the back half of her body, and a dangerous Semblance that is like someone flipping the switch. She goes from being a really shy, timid girl to being able to harden her scales to the hardness of diamond, and going rabid. Enjoy.
