Shadows of the past
Chapter 42
Welcome to Haven
Normal Pov: Salem lair: "So, Skullsatamon was destroy, was he?" Grimmon ask his spy Shademon. "Yes my lord, the Hazard group has reach the city of mistral." Shademon said. "So, they even survive the Nucklavee have they. These Tamers are proving themselves to be quite the nuisance." Salem said. "Yes, the Tamers most off all, he hold one of the most dangerous powers to exist." Grimmon said in a concern tone. He shook his head. " But it matters not, I have sent servants to handle the others groups. We should remain focus on obtaining the Spring relic." He said. "Yes, Lionhart will be most useful in that regard. When my Daughter have finish her task in Vacuo, I shall sent her to aid my son and Watts." Salem said. "Are you sure your son can be trusted, won't he try to reach out to the Tamers for help?" Grimmon ask. Salem smirk. "Taht where Shademon comes in, that servant can be any where at once if you recall. While his main body is right where its be to be to keep my son in line. " She said. She then frowns.
"But sadly, it will not be for much longer. After what that girl did to Tyrian she will need to be remove from the board. It will be Kenneth punishment for thinking he can leave my side." She said with a dark grin. Takato Pov: It been about a week since we came to Haven. Qrow as able to get treated for the poison and has recover as he was now back on his feet. With him better now, we can finally set out to do once we plan when we got to now, were currently making our way to Haven academy so we may speak with the headmaster Lionhart. "Oh look at all the cool weapons!" Ruby shout with stars in her eyes. Rika has to hold her sister by her cloak to keep her from running off. "Ok take a chill pill sis, were here on business remember." She said. "Right, we need to track down a lead on Kenji and Cinder." I said. "An to get Lionhart help with the relic and Salem." Qrow said as we came to the school. Once inside we found it to be empty. "Huh where is everyone?" Nora ask.
"Could the students and teachers be off?" Ren ask. "It too quiet." Qrow said. "Your right, something not right about this." I said as we came to a pair of double doors. Qrow grab his weapon. "On 3 kids 1, 2, 3!" He shout as he breach the door open, knocking someone down. It was the headmaster of Haven academy Leonardo Lionhart."Prof. Lionhart?" Ruby ask nervously. Lionhart got up. "Qrow for crying out loud, you nearly scare me half to death." He said. "Me? Why weren't you waiting for us at the entrance?" Qrow ask. Lionhart check his pocket watch. "Oh right, apologies, I guess time slipped away from me." He said. "Your joking." I said. "Where is everyone?" Nora ask. Lionhart look to us. "Ah you must be the students Qrow mentioned." He said. "We are." Rika said. "A pleasure, Leonardo Lionhart at your service. I'm afraid most of my staff is currently away until classes cam resume." He said. "What Leo you can't be serious, who guarding the relic?" Qrow ask. "Qrow the children." Lionhart said. "It fine, Qrow fill us in on that." I said.
"What do you mean your staff is away?" Qrow ask. "You fill them in?" Lionhart ask. "So, anyone think this is going as well we anyone thought?" Nora ask. "Doesn't look like it." Elize said. "I have to say Qrow, this all seem reckless even for you." Lionhart said. "No reckless is leaving one of the relics completely unprotected and not checking in with Oz for ages." Qrow said. "There was nothing to check in about before the fall of Beacon. But since that day, Mistral has been in chaos!" Lionhart shout as he got up. "Vale wasn't the only kingdom to suffer that night. Everyone was watching, every house in every Kingdom saw that poor girl get ripped to pieces." He said. "Penny" I heard Ruby said sadly' "They saw monsters crawling in the streets, Alasian knights attacking citizens and then nothing. You could feel the dread in the air." He said. "With all that negativity, you can imagine what it was like when the Grimm came for us." He said as he turn to the window. "It must have been hard to fight them off." Goro said.
"It was young man, Mistral controlled territory is the widest reaching in the world you know. And that make it infinitely harder to protect. We lost so many great huntsmen, teachers from this very institution and it only gotten worse." e said sadly. "What do you mean?" Ruby ask. "We have dealt the Grimm, but the Mistral council are still at odds with representives from Atlas. 1st it was the dust embargo, now it the closing of it boarders." Lionhart said as he face us and sat down. "I'm not sure what happen to James in Vale, but it seem to have only worsen his more unfortunate tendencies." He said as he sigh. "What about Spyros, I thought the others kingdoms were trying to negotiate with them?" I ask. "No used I'm afraid, since the Fall, their government refuse to speak to on top of everything, we still don't know where the Spring maiden is." Lionhart said. "All the more reason we need huntsmen and huntress here." Qrow said.
"Okay, okay Things are bad, but we can figure this out" Ruby said. "Agreed." Rika said as she turn to Lionhart. "We need the spring Maiden to open the vault right?" She ask. "That right, each Maiden can open a certain vault. Winter for the Staff of creation. Summer for the sword of destruction. Fall for the crown of choice and Spring for the lamp of knowledge." Qrow said as he drank from his flask. "And Spring the problem?" I ask. "What happen to her?" Ren ask. "She was determined at 1st, when she inherited her powers, but the weight of the responsibility prove to be too much for the child. She ran and abandoned her training and everyone a decade ago." Lionhart said. "10 years, she could be any where by now." I said. "I know where she is." Qrow said as we look at him. "Al least I have a pretty good idea." He said. 'So, where is she" Rika ask. "It not exactly good news." Qrow said. "What are you talking about, this is incredible news after all of these years where?" Lionhart ask as he grab Qrow. Qrow quickly pushes him off.
"I did some digging around, look like after Spring left, she was pick up by bandits, specifically the Branwen tribe." He said. "Raven." Lionhart said with a hint of fear. We were all shock. "Yang mom?" Jaune ask. "That right." Qrow said. as he made a holo map on his scroll. It light up a location. "That about where they set up their main camp. It where they fall back after raids and scouting missions. Raven manage to gain a lot of followers since she return to the tribe. And I'm sure with the Spring Maiden it made things easier." Qrow said. "Well, Qrow, I got to hand it to you, with these coordinates we can mount a retrieval force and head out in a few weeks." Lionhart said. "A few weeks!" Qrow shout. "That right." Lionhart said as he turn off the map. "Leo, maybe you didn't hear me, my sister have the fucking Spring Maiden and we know where she is!" Qrow shout. "He right, we have the chance to take them by surprise." I said. "And perhaps you didn't hear me, this kingdom is in shambles. As soon as possible does not means tomorrow. It means as soon as I can convince the rest of the council that I need Huntsmen more then they do" He said.
He let out a sigh. "Unfortunately bandits tribes aren't very high on their list of priorities.. Not when the threat of war is on the horizon!" Lionhart shout. "Then damn the council, we'll do it ourselves You and I are train huntsmen and these kids aren't exactly push overs. Hell they even have those Digimon things that been running around." Qrow said. "Yeah!" Ruby and Nora cheer. "Were willing to take the risk sir." I said. "We need to get Spring as far from here as possible. But Raven isn't going to give up her most prize weapon with out a fight." Qrow said. "Unfortunately you and your sister are evenly match and I'm not the fighter I used to be. And no offense but these students and I can't take on entire tribe and a maiden who that no doubt had years to hone her skills." Lionhart said. I beg to differ. "We need to be positive we can apprehend Spring, because if we fail Raven and her tribe will scatter and well lose the one shot of this. It need to be prefect." Lionhart said.
Qrow sigh. "You know, Oz wouldn't be happy with any of this if he was here." He said. "Perhaps your right, but he not and I'm doing the very best I can." Lionhart said. "There have to be something we can do?" Ruby ask. "What about Cinder, she came with Emerald and Mercury from Haven." Jaune said. "And a Boy name Kenneth Chrome, were looking for any info on them." I said. "Wee pulled their files after the fall of Beacon, nothing but lies and forgeries." He said. Jaune clench his fist in anger. "Well, I can't say this been a warm reunion Leo." Qrow said. "I'm sorry, I know you travel a long way but i will do every thing I can to help.." Lionhart said. "Thank you for your time sir." I said as we left his office. "So, what now?" Rika ask. 'You kids head to the house, I'm getting a drink." Qrow said as he walk off. "Let go." I said as we move to leave the school. Oscar Pov: Finally, after a long ride on the airship we have reach Haven. Once there, Ozpin direct us to a bar of all places. The fact that there a wizard living in my head, and he want me to get drunk for him.
"That not my intention Oscar, to be honest I prefer coffee, no were here to find someone. There the man at the counter." Ozpin said as we walk to the counter. The man was drinking heavy. "Uh Qrow?" I ask as he turn to look at me. "Aren't you kids a little young to be in here?" He ask clearly drunk. "Is this the guy we have to find?" Matt ask. "Yep that Qrow Branwen, I'm a bit disappointed." Argo said. "Ask him for my cane." Ozpin ask. "Stup up I'm getting to it." I said as I look to Crow. "I'm suppose to ask for my cane back?" I ask. Qrow smirk as he got up. "Good to have you back Oz." He said as he toss me the cane as it extend in my grip. "So, is Takbou and the other here?" Argo ask. "Yep, but 11st a toast." Qrow said as he down another drink. I sigh. This is going to be a pain I know. "Tha we are my friend." Ozpin said. Sven Pov: Menengai: That was a complete waste of our time. We left to speak to the Albains about what we found on Illa scroll, and they have the nerve to place the blame on her. I know they were working with Adam, in the past they would have paise him for his actions. But as of now we can't prove it. Right now, I was sitting on the porch looking at the stars.
"You alright?" Koga ask as he sat next to me. "I'm fine, it just." I said. 'your piss about what those fox bastards said about your cousin right?" He ask. "I am, I know there involve with Adam. After all they were the ones who gave me my orders back then." I said. I turn to look at him. "Koga can I ask you something, what do you think of Humans?" I ask. He cross his arms. "Since I was a pup, my parents and my aunt Doma taught me there are good humans and bad. Trust me when I say I like Humans, sure my dad was kill by one yeah. But that no reason to condemn them all for the sins of one. They have the right to live, just like us Faunus. I make it my goal to prove that." he said. "How do you plan to do that?" I ask. "By proving them wrong, I plan to confess my love for Weiss. if people are aware that a Faunus and a Schee can get along, it shows that everyone can." He said. I nod. "I see, then I must do the same, I will help Blake take back the white fang." I said. "Best of luck man, come on let check on the others." He said as we head inside.
Keisuke Pov: After getting to Mistral we hit the road to look for Yang mom. Yang rode her bike with Rina on the back. Me and Erika rode on Zubaeagermon, while Hiro, Zoey and Zorome rode on Ginryumon. We soon came to a rest stop. "Alight, guys let stop her for a bit." Hiro said. "Good idea Darling, I'm felling a bit Shiff." Zoey said as she hop off the dragon Digimon. "I'm sure need a drink." Yang said. "Me too." Rina said as the 3 of them head into the rest stop. "You sure it a good idea to leave those 3 alone together?" I ask. "I have to agree with the nerd on that Hiro knowing Zoey track record." Zorome said. "I'm sure it be alright, it just a gas station, how much trouble can they get into?" He ask as a man bounces out the door and land at our feet. I smirk at him. "You were saying." I said. I turn to Erika who was on her computer. "What you up to?" I ask. "Well, at Beacon I hack Ozpin computer to try to find out what he know. I discovered he has files on everyone he trusted, including Raven Branwen. I'm hoping it will give us a lead to locate her." She said.
"You hack Ozpin!" Hiro shout. "Were hackers, it our job. Like our motto state it our hacking business." She said. That when the other came out. "So, what was that about?" Hiro ask. "Just a drunk Darling who need to learn his place." Zoey said as she flip her hair back. "Hey blondie!" The man shout. Yang groan annoy at him. "Oh come on where not done yet?" She ask. "I heard you kids are looking for Raven?" He ask with a grin showing a missing tooth. "We are, why you asking?" I ask. "Because she my boss, what she to you?" He ask. "She my mom. Me and my friends are hoping to have a chat with her." Yang said. "Then your in luck, I can lead you to her." He said. "Think we can trust him?" Hiro ask. "Honestly no, but if we can find Raven, we find the others." I said. "Lead the way." Yang said as we follow the man. Let hope were on the right track. Takato Pov: I was cleaning my Zanpaktuo when I heard a knock at the door. I open to reveal Argo with a black hair boy and a boy with tan kin. "Hey Takbou long time no see." She said. "Argo about time you show up." I said as they came in. I saw they has a hedgehog and a black dragon with them.
"Herissmon, Vorvomon!" Biyomon shout. "Hi guys." The hedgehog said. "Guess that account all of the runaways now." Ren said. Elize came into the room. She saw the black hair boy. "Matt, what are you doing here?" She ask. "Hey Elly it been awhile." Matt greeted her. "So, who are your friends?" I ask Argo. '"Is there a Ruby Rose and Rika Stellar here The tan skin boy ask. "I'm Rika what you need?" She ask. "Well it about your uncle, See he a bit well." He said as a drunk Qrow stumble into the house. "I found him." He said as he laugh and fell onto the couch. "What is with all the noise, can't a girl read her comic books in peace!" Ruby shout as she storms in. "Our uncle is drunk as hell." Rika said. "really Qrow." Ruby said as she saw the boy looking at her. "You have sliver eyes." He said as we got ready to fight. "Why does that matter to you?" I ask. "Because my name is Oscar pine, but to you I'm Prof. Ozpin." He said as we all stare at him. "What!" We all shout. "I found him!" Qrow shout laughing. I sigh. "I'll get the coffee to sober Qrow up." I said. This is gonna be a long night. Then Qrow past out. "Or this can wait till morning." I said.
