Ch. 11 – Operation Midnight Climax

I do not own RWBY, RWBY is owned by Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum (R.I.P.) nor do I own any media that may appear in the story. I only own the OCs, Enjoy! Remember to Favorite, Follow, and leave a Review. Fair warning, this chapter will contain dark themes, darker than usual as it will pertain to the subject of child sex trafficking and sex slavery.

"First thing first; we need to use callsigns. We'll be on an island with some of Remnants most powerful people and we may not be able to put them down unless they are in the act, so we'll be using callsigns, strictly." Onyx said as he gestured to the pictures of some of the island patrons that were photographed covertly.

"Carmine Sable, callsign: Titan." Carmine said before Jay wrote the name on the board. "Onyx Sable, callsign: Wraith." Onyx said as he pulled off his nametag from his molle vest. "Nightshade Lazuli, callsign: Spectre." Nightshade said before the others followed suit. "Crimson Nerissimo, callsign: Sentinel. Grullo Picto, callsign: Juggernaut. Keppel Mazon, callsign: Seraph." The last three wolves stated as they took off their identification patches and Wolf Pack patches before they replaced them with patches that had a skull with wings outstretched and a knife in its mouth.

"If there's no other news, we should get moving." Onyx said before Duke and Titus walked in, followed by Phantom, Aero, Grizz, Bubba, Nightwalker, and another person with the nametag 'Cyanide'. "You ain't leaving without these two." Titus said as Phantom and Aero moved into the armory and prepped their gear for covert operations. "Callsigns?" Jay asked as he wrote two more names on the board.

"Perry 'Phantom' Ube. Callsign: Whisper." Phantom said before Jay wrote the name on the board, Aero pulled the quiver over his body and folded his compound bow before he placed it on his lower back. "Cedric 'Aero' Vender. Callsign: Cipher." Aero said as Jay wrote 'Cipher' on the board under 'Whisper'. Phantom walked out and pulled back the charging bolt on an M4a1 with an ACOG sight, Ergo foregrip, IR laser sight, and a suppressor along with a Beretta APX with a twenty-one-round mag, IR laser sight, and a suppressor.

Aero slapped a mag into a Glock 24 with a suppressor and a green laser sight on the right side of the handle before he shoved it into his holster. "You're name's Cedric Vender?" Carmine asked as his voice sounded muffled through his filter. Aero chuckled "That's my legal name, but the name I go by is 'Aero'." The archer said as he adjusted his gear.

"Alright ladies, if you'll kindly shut the fuck up, I'll start the briefing." Harlequin said as she ran her fingers through her crimson strawberry hair before her cat Faunus ears twitched. Everyone quieted down as they followed her into the briefing room, the lights dimmed as a projector flipped on and projected an aerial photo of a large island "This is Black Steel Island but Paimon renamed it 'Orgasm Oasis', god I want to puke when I say that. Anyway, in the middle of the island is the villa that has multiple components. There's the main building, the auction hall, various hotel/bungalow buildings that are on either side of the villa, so the clients can 'test' the merchandise, Jay mind finishing up; I think I'm gonna be sick." Harlequin said before she stormed out of the briefing room and Jay took over.

"Right, so there's also a grotto in the Northeastern side of the villa as well as an underground level. This will be a two-prong assault split into two squads: The Wolves, Aero, and Phantom make up the 'Covert Assault Squadron' or CAS while the 184th Militia, Devil's Disciples, and Viper Legion members will make up the 'The Extermination Squadron'. The CAS will HALO jump in from a V-22 Osprey and land on the western side of the island, here." Jay said as he gestured to the left side of the island.

"When you land, you'll regroup and push into the villa. Take out any Reapers you come across, and if you find any high-profile members of society trying to hanky panky the girls, you have authorization to double tap them and toss them into the ocean for the Grimm." Jay said as the slideshow ended. "Any questions?" Jay asked the room but was met with silence. "Go get em, boys." Jay said as he dismissed everyone.

As they were leaving the room, Carmine stopped Grullo and moved him over to the armory "Grab that M240B and slap a suppressor on it and remember to fire in short bursts. Grab a carbine while you're at it and suppress that one too." Carmine said as Grullo went to work and changed his gear, he emerged twenty minutes later with his gear on and weapons ready. "Subtle." Crimson said sarcastically. He swapped his Sig SG 550 for an UMP-45 with an ERGO foregrip, RDS, suppressor, and IR Laser and his PM-9 with a suppressor.

Keppel picked up Charon and put the sling across his body as he picked up Beretta M9 and twisted on cylindrical suppressor onto the muzzle before he holstered the pistol. "Everyone have suppressors?" Onyx asked, everyone nodded except for Aero who shrugged "Can you suppress a compound bow?" Aero asked sarcastically. Onyx rolled his eyes as he adjusted his helmet and the IRNV/FLIR optics on his helmet.

Carmine unclipped his gas mask and placed it into his bag before he pulled on a solid front balaclava that only had slit for his eyes before he pulled on a black covered ACH helmet with a EOTech GPNVG optics on it before he clipped the strap closed and tightened it a little bit under his chin. The other members of the CAS followed suit as they donned similar helmets with identical optics with the same balaclavas underneath their helmets before they left the Wolves' Den in the cover of darkness, the streets were barren as they made their way to the air docks and boarded a V-22 Osprey that had its propellers spinning up. The eight members of the special operations team took their places on the VTOL as they placed their gear in a large box and sealed it shut before Onyx activated an altitude chute deployment apparatus on the case.

The Osprey took off into the night sky and flew through the air as the CAS team prepped their HALO jump gear and fastened each other's oxygen tanks to their jumpsuit. "Good evening ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking, we'll be arriving at nightmare cove in approximately twenty minutes, in the event this flight becomes a cruise, may the gods be with you, so sit back, check your gear, and enjoy your inflight movie, The Last Airbender, directed by M. Night Shyamalan." The pilot said before the radio feed cut off.

"Oh! This Osprey better crash because I am not watching that train wreck of a movie again." Crimson said sarcastically as he fastened his gear and tightened his straps on his suit. "Disconnect your optics before we jump." Onyx said as he unlatched his GPNVG from his helmet and placed it into his rucksack under his MC-5 parachute, the others followed suit as they removed their optics from their helmets. A lone man walked down the aisle between the mercenaries and came to a stop near the rear where the ramp opened "Hello gentlemen, my name is Dandee and I'll be your jump master this evening. Everybody please stand and face me in two lines." Dandee said before the CAS stood and turned to face the man.

"Fantastic, now everyone check the parachute of the person in front of you and at the rear, the two of you check each other after you check the person in front." Dandee stated as he instructed the mercenaries, the men took turns check the chutes of the each other to assure they were strapped in correctly. As they finished up their check, they turned back to face the jump master who had made his way back through the two lines of people toward the cockpit. "Alright, when that light turns green, the two at the front will grab the case and run out the back of the plane. When you start to freefall, let the case go because it'll direct itself downward. Before you jump, attach your oxygen mask and goggles to protect your eyes, watch the gauge on your wrist and pull it at 3,000 feet, anything lower and we'll be scrapping you off the ground. We are currently at 28,000 feet so good luck gentlemen." Dandee said as the light by the ramp switched from red to green.

The eight mercenaries quickly connected their oxygen masks to their helmets and pulled on a pair of goggles from the parachute sacks before the back of the Osprey opened. Onyx and Nightshade gripped the sides of the container before they got a running start and leaped out the back of the VTOL, they let go of the container and sent it screaming toward the ground. Grullo and Crimson got a running start before they leaped out of the plane after Onyx and Nightshade; followed by Keppel, Aero, Phantom, and Carmine.

The eight mercenaries ripped through the sky as they flew toward their destination, Aero compressed his arms by his side before he rocketed toward the ground. As Carmine dropped through the air, he reached up and pressed the earbud in his ear to start a song queued up on his scroll. A heavy guitar rift came through the earpiece and drowned out the air rushing by his head.

Circus for a Psycho – Skillet

You push me 'till I break and the anger turns to rage, why can't you just leave me alone? Got your finger on the trigger, you think that you're the winner, you're gonna get kicked off of your throne. You think you're going to hurt me, get ready to get dirty you created this beast inside. Pull the noose tighter and lift a little higher, because you're killing me slow, I ain't ready to die. Killing me slow but I ain't ready to die.

As the Covert Assault Squad ripped through the night sky under the light of the shattered moon and the stars above, Crimson flipped through the air as he extended his arms to slow his descent to showboat a little more. Carmine spiraled in a corkscrew motion as he raced toward the ground below, they all watched the crate soar through the air before a parachute exploded out the top and slowed the speed of its descent.

Tonight, get ready for a fight so now you know it's time to ride, a circus for a psycho! Round and round we go, look out below because I want off this, I want off this Circus for a psycho! Circus for a psycho! Psycho, here we go!

Everybody down gonna burn it to the ground, can't keep this beast inside! Never again, never again, you're killing me slow but I ain't ready to die! Killing me slow but I ain't ready to die.

Tonight, get ready for a fight so now you know it's time to ride, a circus for a psycho! Round and round we go, look out below because I want off this, I want off this Circus for a psycho! Circus for a psycho! Psycho, here we go!

Carmine watched as Grullo plummeted toward the ground at a faster rate than the others, the other seven compressed theirs arms to their side and increased their descent speed to catch up with Grullo as they monitored their altitude via their HUDs on the goggles over their eyes.

Carmine's music cut off as Onyx pressed his throat comms "Alright, rip your chutes." Onyx said over through their earpieces, one by one they deployed their parachutes as they had reached 3,500 feet. As Grullo's chute opened, the paracord tightened as his entire weight jerked downward as the parachute opened fully and ripped the mercenary upward before the paracord snapped and sent him hurling toward the ground until he ripped his backup chute that opened and sustained his entire weight. "Well damn, that was terrifying." Grullo said through the team comms.

The mercenaries touched down in a wooded area and worked to get to the crate that landed approximately 500 feet away. The mercenaries withdrew their Ka-Bars from their vests as they pushed toward the crate's location, they lowered their bodies and crept through the foliage.

"Did you hear that thud? What the hell was that?" A voice asked as two armed men walked toward the wooded area, the mercenaries dispersed and fanned out as they circled around the two guards before they swooped in for the kill.

Carmine swooped up behind the guard and covered the man's mouth before he slit his throat while Crimson took out the second guard with a knife to the chest and a covered mouth, Carmine's hand muffled the guards screams that changed into the sound of him gurgling on his own blood. Carmine dragged the man's body and dropped it into a shrub, they grabbed their weapons off the ground and emptied the magazines from the weapons along with the firing pins.

The covert team pushed into the forest until they found where the crate landed after it crashed through some branches, Carmine unlatched the lid and decompressed the crate as they reached into the crate to retrieve their gear. Carmine unfolded the stock of his rifle and holstered his MP7 on his side, they reattached their GPNVG optics to their helmets, Grullo lifted his LMG out of the crate and pulled the bolt on the side back to chamber a round.

"Alright, we'll split into two teams: Bravo will consist of myself, Nightshade, Aero, and Keppel. Delta will be Carmine, Crimson, Grullo, and Phantom. Use your callsigns when you're in there though, since we don't look like we typically do." Onyx said in hushed tone as he held his AK-12. "Bravo will take the outskirts and secure the beach for the 184th to land, while Delta, you guys got the compound. Good luck." Onyx said before Delta nodded and made their way toward the compound under the cover of night, the four mercenaries pulled down their optics that illuminated the area in a blanket of green so they could see as if it were daylight.

As they pushed inland, their comms feed buzzed as Harlequin's voice came through their earpieces "Alright, it looks like you landed on the backside of the island where defenses are at its weakest. Yachts are still arriving at the docks and there appears to be a large freighter docked on the opposite side of the island. It seems to have a fair amount of guards and they seem to be unloading shipping containers." Harlequin said before Onyx clicked in as they used their callsigns over the comms.

"Roger that, Harley. We'll be on alert. Wraith, out." Onyx said before the comms fell silent momentarily. "Heads up, Titan. It looks like they've started this human auction, Whisper, get to the roof and scope out the area while Titan, Sentinel, and Juggernaut get into place." Harlequin said through the comms.

Phantom nodded to the other three before smoke billowed up around him and swallowed him, he reappeared on a balcony and leaped up to grab a ledge, he pulled himself up quickly as an armed guard walked out onto the balcony. Carmine, Crimson, and Grullo moved slowly in the shadows of the somewhat illuminated building, while Phantom moved along the rooftop of the mansion.

A voice boomed through a PA system as it spoke rapidly followed by numerous other voices "Do I hear five hundred? Five hundred! Six hundred! Nine hundred! Sold to the man in white for nine hundred thousand Lien!" The man on the PA yelled as he slammed a gavel. "Whisper, who is that?" Carmine asked as he looked through a steel gate at the stage where girls stood nude with metal collars around their necks.

The audio feed buzzed as Phantom responded "That's Abdiel, Paimon's second in command. I also guarantee Bast and Jezebeth are here, if you see a woman with white hair, red eyes, and a crown of bloody spikes, that is Jezebeth. Don't take her lightly, she will fuck you up." Phantom said as he warned the rifleman. "Bast has an acoustic guitar that he uses to channel his semblance, Shriek. If he strums a chord hard-enough, he can emit a noise that sounds like ten thousand banshees wailing." Phantom said as he knelt on the ledge of the roof.

"Alright, up next we have a little treat. A Mistralian Faunus who was orphaned after her parents met an 'unfortunate' ending. She's 14 and looking to please." Abdiel said as a petrified girl with silver hair and a pair of cat ear was escorted on stage by a man who held a gun to her head. "I wish I could enjoy her one more time, anyway, let's start the biding at fifty thousand." Abdiel said as another round started, Carmine felt his blood boil in his veins as he tightened his grip on his rifle.

"Come in Delta, docks are clear. We are making our way back there; Disciples have already arrived." Onyx said over the comms. "You better hurry, because I can't stand by for another second. I'll kill every mother fucker here." Carmine said as he pressed his comms. "Do I hear seven hundred? Seven hundred going once. Twice. Sold to the man in the black hat!" Abdiel yelled as he slammed the gavel.

A grotesquely fat man in black ambled up to the stage as the Faunus girl wept lightly, he grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her off stage, her feet stumbled across the marble floor as she was pulled away to an unknown fate. "I know you're angry, just stay calm until the others get here." Crimson said in a hushed tone as they watched on in disgust. "Our next pieces are hot little firecrackers from Mantle, these 15-year-old twins will give you a good time. They love to please, believe me." Abdiel said with a disgusting laugh before he continued. "I can say that they are worth the price, I've tested them myself so let's start the biding at one hundred thousand lien." Abdiel said before dozens of paddles rose up in the crowd.

Abdiel spoke in a rapid manner as the bid kept climbing higher and higher "Eight hundred and fifty, do I hear nine hundred? Nine hundred going once. Twice. Sold to the older gentleman in white, come claim your new toys." Abdiel said with a sinister grin as an old man walked to stage and grabbed the girls' wrists but one pulled away from him, he drew his hand back and back handed the girl across the face and grabbed her under her jaw "You WILL obey me or I will make an example out of you, no, out of your sister." The old man said with malice on his tongue before he dragged the twins off into the darkness.

The sound of boots on brick echoed behind them as Bravo rejoined them "Great, the teams all here. Seraph, get to the roof." Carmine said before Keppel nodded and ran off to find a way to the roof. Aero opened his scroll and looked at the feed from the UAV that circled above, courtesy of Viper Legion. They watched as multiple landing crafts drove up on the beach and deflated, the tanks and APCs inside sat silent and cold. "Come in Wraith, one of my AC-130s is overhead, callsign Hellfire Rain. Good luck." Harlequin said through the comms before they fell silent. "Alright, now the fun begins. Door to door room service. Seraph, keep an eye out and watch out for anything that happens." Onyx said as he pressed his throat comms.

The six mercenaries moved along the brick pathway with their weapons raised and their helmet-mounted optics down. "Be advised, friendlies have IR strobes on them so night vision will pick it up." Onyx stated over the comms. As they pushed up along the pathway, a group of armed guards were stationed by an entrance to the bungalows. Crimson stepped out and whistled "Yoohoo, boys!" Crimson said in a faux female voice, the guards raised their weapons but were shredded by suppressed gunfire from the shadows.

Their bodies hit the ground with a thud as blood changed the green grass to a sickly red, the mercenaries moved forward before Grullo and Nightshade grabbed the guards, they dragged the corpses and hid them behind a building out of view. The six mercenaries moved into the courtyard and stared at all the doors of the bungalows "Alright ladies, pick a door and have at it." Onyx said as they all moved to their own doors.

As Carmine approached his door, he heard whimpering and pleading coming from inside "Please, don't do this!" A female voice pleaded. Carmine felt a beast inside him roar as he slammed his fist into the door and unknowingly detonated a Supernova that sent the door flying inward. Carmine walked in and raised his rifle at a naked whale of a man who was positioned above a cowering young Faunus girl. "Burn in hell, you fat fuck." Carmine said before he shot the man between the eyes, blood and brain matter coated the walls as his gelatinous body hit the floor with a thud.

Carmine grabbed a blanket off the floor and approached the girl with it, "No please, don't hurt me." She begged, Carmine covered her with the blanket and backed up "I'm not here to hurt you, we're here to rescue you. You're gonna be alright." Carmine said as he knelt next to the bed to reassure her. The trembling girl nodded slowly as she got up but the blanket started to fall, Carmine looked away quickly as she wrapped it around herself.

"Heads up guys, looks like the guards are getting frisky and are on high alert." Keppel said through the comms. "What's your name?" Carmine asked the girl who was still shaking. "Celeste" The girl said. "Alright Celeste, stay behind me no matter what." Carmine instructed the girl as he searched the fat man's clothes, looting it of his scroll and lien. Carmine left the room with Celeste in tow as the others had done the same except for Nightshade who emerged from the room covered in blood with a young girl in tow.

"So… what happened?" Onyx asked, Nightshade shook his head. "That fucker was a fighter and tried to get my gun from me but I slammed the buttstock into his nose. He laughed and said he already had his fun before he gestured to blood on the bed and… I just lost it, I put my gun on my back and tackled him before I stabbed the fuck out of his chest and neck." Nightshade said as he wiped blood off his face, the girl offered her sheet to him but he shook his head. "Oh, this is Mari." Nightshade said as he cleaned his face of the blood.

"Alright boys, we'll take it from here. It's time to get loud." A voice said from the darkness, they looked in the direction of the voice and saw Titus, along with Grizz, Bubba, and Archimedes before a massive explosion erupted from the docks and shook the island. As the shockwave ripped across the island, the power blacked out and swallowed the island in darkness, a thunderous boom echoed through the sky as a 105mm shell screamed from the sky and hit a guard tower on the island and reduced it to a crater as 20mm rained down from above. An Oshkosh MTVR with a canvas cover backed up and opened the rear "Alright girls, load up and we'll get you out of here." Titus said as Bubba escorted the terrified girls and helped them onto the transport. Celeste turned around and looked at Carmine "Thank you so much." Celeste said before Bubba closed the back and slapped the side before the truck took off in the darkness.

"Guys, we got a problem. They're trying to flee." Keppel said as he buzzed in through the radio suddenly. "Alright, let's get to work. Seraph, fire at will. You too, Whisper." Onyx said before the group took off toward the main building. Multiple guards and Reapers ran out to engage them but were immediately cut down where they stood from a hail of 20mm that rained down from above.

Carmine ran ahead and kicked the door in before he opened fire, his rounds ripped through multiple guards where they stood and painted the wall in blood as he dashed through. "Seraph, where's Abdiel!?" Carmine yelled as he looked around, as he looked around the dark building; the sound of an acoustic guitar playing echoed from the darkness (the opening chords to 'The Regulator' by Clutch to be specific).

Carmine looked in the direction of the sound to see a man sitting in a chair playing a guitar casually "You want him, you go through me first." The man said before he slammed his pick down across the strings and caused an ear-piercing shriek to rip through the building and shattered the glass in the room. "So, you're Bast?" Carmine asked, the man smirked "Can't spell Bastard without Bast." Bast said as he slowly played his guitar. Carmine raised his rifle and unloaded at the guitarist but Bast strummed his guitar slightly and emitted a soundwave that deflected all the rounds.

Carmine quickly transformed his rifle into its blade form before he dashed forward and engaged the man. "Y'all go, I'll handle this fucker." Carmine yelled as he sliced downward at Bast but the man parried his strike. Onyx nodded before they took off after the others "Heads up to all Disciples and 184th, nobody leaves the island." Titus said as they ran outside to see a private helicopter take off into the sky.

"Who's onboard?" Titus asked, Aero closed his eyes and activated his semblance before he looked through a pair of binoculars at the chopper. "Looks like one man and the pilot." Aero said, Titus nodded "Sorry pilot. Fire." Titus commanded through the comms, they all watched as a rocket erupted from a SAM Launcher and chased the helicopter until both exploded in a fiery explosion that sent the fiery burning husk into the water and sunk below the surface.

Carmine leapt backwards as Bast swung his guitar at the rifleman's head, Carmine quickly transformed the weapon back to its SCAR form before he fired a few rounds that were blocked by the man's aura. Bast held his pick in the air as he charged his semblance, Carmine smirked 'Bingo' Carmine thought to himself as he transformed his weapon back to its blade form and he sliced upward through the strings of the guitar. He withdrew the MP7 and unloaded on Bast, the bullets riddled the man's body until his aura shattered and he was reduced to a panting, bleeding mess.

"Alright, alright. I submit." Bast said as he held his hand up in defeat. Carmine grabbed Bast by the throat and picked him up in the air "Where's. Abdiel?" Carmine asked as he tightened his grip on the man's throat. The man struggled to breathe as his feet flailed wildly in the air before Carmine dropped him to the ground, Bast inhaled deep as he started to cough wildly. "Basement. He's in the basement." Bast said, Carmine grabbed his rifle and picked Bast up by his throat again.

"Good, you're gonna tell him the coast is clear." Carmine said as he dragged him to an intercom on the wall and slammed his head into the wall before he pressed the button on the wall and pressed the barrel of his rifle to Bast's head. The guitarist pressed the intercom button again "Boss, it's Bast. The coast is clear, open up the door." Bast said, there was a momentary silence before a door buzzed and popped open down a staircase.

"I found Abdiel, going after him." Carmine said as he pressed his throat comms, he let go of the button and grabbed Bast by the neck again before he moved him downstairs. "Open it." Carmine said slowly, Bast reached for the handle and slowly opened the door. Carmine quickly moved out of the way as the barrel of a large rifle exploded and a shell hit Bast in the chest, the guitarist looked down at the round before he exploded into bits and chunks of flesh, blood, and sinew.

Carmine peaked inside and saw a woman with white hair holding a large cannon as she loaded a fresh shell into it. "Oh fuck, that's an anti-tank rifle… Oh fuck! That's an anti-tank rifle!" Carmine said as he came to the sudden realization of his current situation. Carmine dashed up the stairs as another explosion blew the door off the hinges, the white-haired woman strolled out of the dungeon with the recoilless rifle rested on her shoulder.

"You think you can waltz into my house and mess up our auction? You can die in a fire, whoever you are." The woman said as she leveled out the barrel of her recoilless rifle before a bipod extended from the bottom, she turned the rifle as Carmine ran toward a doorway.

"It's no use." She said as she pressed a button on the side, a 106mm rocket leapt from the barrel and impacted the wall in front of Carmine. The round exploded and ripped through the brick wall, Carmine passed through the debris as the others engaged armed guards and Reapers. "Guys! We got a situation!" Carmine yelled as he passed them, Onyx turned around as he watched the white-haired woman saunter out of the hole in the wall. "Whisper! Who is that!?" Onyx yelled toward the roof.

"That's Jezebeth! I suggest you run; she can change the effectiveness of dust." Phantom said through their earpieces. Grullo turned around and aimed at the woman before he opened fire at her, rounds spat out from the barrel of his LMG but the rounds seemed to just hit her and bounce off before they fell to the ground. "What the fuck?" Crimson, Nightshade, and Onyx asked out loud before they aimed their weapons at her and fired, the rounds again bounced off her body and hit the ground.

"My turn!" Jezebeth exclaimed as she loaded another shell into her recoilless rifle and fired at the group, the Wolves, and members of the 184th scurried to separate as the round hit the ground with a thunderous explosion. "Whisper, if you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them!" Onyx yelled into his throat comms. There was a momentary pause before Phantom responded, "There are three ways to take her out: Overwhelm her with suppressive fire, get up close with melee weapons, or use your semblances." Phantom explained.

"Why not all three at once." Crimson said as he dashed behind cover to avoid gunfire from a few Reapers. "It's a longshot, but it's all we got." Titus said as a few tanks rolled up from the beach. "Alright, everyone be sure to reload your weapons and prepare to fire. Hellfire Rain, send everything you have at this bitch." Onyx said into the intercom before he got a 'Roger' in return.

Carmine swapped magazines in his Scar and pulled back the side bolt on the rifle, Jezebeth looked around at the mercenaries that surrounded her before she laughed "Bring it on, bitches. I've been waiting for a challenge!" Jezebeth exclaimed before her recoilless rifle planted itself in the ground again but the barrel transformed into eight separate barrels.

Her red eyes started to glow brighter and her hair radiated a white aura around her as the mercenaries opened fire in her direction, 105mm rounds rained down from the clouds, followed by 40mm and 20mm rounds. Most of the rounds seemed to fall lifelessly at her feet as her body started to glow with an amalgamation of colors, Aero gazed down from the roof as he activated his semblance. He watched on as Jezebeth's body temperature seemed to be rising rapidly, "Guys, don't let up! I figured out how her semblance works! It's not that she's nullifying the dust rounds, she's absorbing the dust energy into her body and then firing it back out via her recoilless rifle with twice the power behind it." Aero explained as the tank barrels exploded and sent HE shells down range followed by sporadic gunfire from the coaxial machine guns.

Jezebeth's demeanor seemed to change as she started to radiate a bright light from her body, Carmine dashed over to Grullo and grabbed his attention "Alright, I'm gonna detonate this bitch but I need you to slow time around me to give me enough time to get out." Carmine said but Grullo shook his head "It only works for me." Grullo said as he fired down range.

Carmine pulled his weapons from his body and tossed them to the ground before he sprinted into the barrage of bullets that ripped through the air. Carmine checked his scroll to monitor his aura level, he noticed it was at 68% "Gods protect me, I love you Sapphire." Carmine said to himself as he clenched his fist and charged a Supernova. "Titan! Get out of there!" Onyx exclaimed as Carmine closed in rapidly, the rifleman drew his fist back before he sent it flying into the side of Jezebeth's face.

The Supernova detonated and sent Carmine flying backward into Grullo who caught the rifleman, Jezebeth flew into the side of the wall and fell to the ground as her body began to shake violently "No! Must. Redirect. Power." Jezebeth said as she tried to crawl toward her weapon but stopped when a stabbing pain shot through her leg. She looked back and saw her Tibia was broken in half and sticking out from her skin as blood squirted out of the compound fracture, Jezebeth dug her nails into the dirt as the power in her body became unbearable. "I failed you, Abdiel!" She exclaimed before the power within her reached critical mass and detonated in a brilliant explosion of yellows, reds, blues, greens, and pink but that was just her vaporized internal organs that sprayed into the air as other chunks of her rained down with a nauseating 'splat' sound.

"Get up, you're alright." Grullo said as he pulled Carmine to his feet. "Thanks, Juggernaut." Carmine said as he picked his weapons up off the ground and placed them back into their holsters "You good, bro?" Onyx asked as he patted his brother on the back, Carmine stood up and checked his aura level "Fuck, I'm at critical." Carmine said before he showed Onyx his scroll that flashed a '15%' warning in red. "Shit. Medic!" Onyx yelled as Carmine limped over to where the others stood.

As he joined the group, Diamond came walking over to the group of mercenaries "Someone call for aid?" She asked before the entire group pointed at Carmine "Yeah, the human detonator here." Grullo said before he adjusted his molle vest and rested his M240b on his shoulder. "I swear, you keep running headfirst into battle like that and you're gonna get yourself killed." Diamond said as she projected her aura into Carmine's battered body. She watched closely as his aura levels rose steadily on his scroll until he was at '31%'. Diamond almost collapsed as she stumbled slightly into Phantom's arms "Easy there, you alright?" Phantom asked as she stood up slowly.

"Uhh, yeah. Thank you." Diamond said as she blushed lightly and moved away to tend to the others. "Alright ladies! Take a breather and reload your weapons, we still got a rat bastard to go after." Duke said as he held an MK14 Mod 0 EBR with the barrel pointed toward the ground. "We captured almost all of the participants, well, the ones who didn't fight or try to run." One of the Disciples said as the mercenaries shifted their gaze to a few scattered bodies face down in the grass.

"Take their scrolls, any lien they have, and then feed them to the sharks." Titus said as Carmine fished a scroll from his pocket "Hey Cipher, catch." Carmine said before he tossed the scroll to the archer. "Grizz, laptop!" Aero said as he walked over to an ARTEC Boxer that idled slowly before the engine cut off. Aero climbed onto the roof and sat down with his legs crossed as Grizz handed him a laptop, Aero plugged the scroll into the laptop before he got to work breaking the encryption. "These idiots think that a simple biometrics scanner will stop me, bitch please." Aero said before he tapped 'enter' and his screen flooded with information. "Alright, I'm in. Titan, this scroll belonged to a billionaire who worked for Merlot Industries." Aero said as he read through the information.

"Who the fuck is that?" Carmine asked confused. Aero smiled "Our next lead to find Cerberus." Aero said before he looked back down at the laptop. "Sounds good, see what you can find. As for the rest of you, move out." Titus said before the mercenaries moved inland toward the mansion. "Archimedes, get to the second floor." Titus ordered; Archimedes nodded before he sprinted toward the building. He walked up to the wall and placed his hands on the wall before he slowly climbed up the wall with no assistance.

"Faunus?" Crimson asked, Titus chuckled "Spider." Titus said as they watched Archimedes climb up the wall and burst through a window. The island fell silent before the sound of electricity echoed from the building followed by a flash of light and blood curdling screaming. "Guess he found one." Grizz said before the charred remains of a Reaper flew out the window and slammed into the ground with a thud.

"Well, we can't let him have all the fun. Let's Go!" Duke said before he sprinted into the fray of gunfire that came from the second-floor windows, the other mercenaries followed suit and stormed into the mansion as one of the tanks fired and blew the gunners nest to pieces on the second floor. The Wolves dashed down the stairs and entered the destroyed basement, the muffled sound of gunfire came from above as the crept slowly into the dark basement. One by one, they pulled down their optics and illuminated the darkness in a dark green that made their IR lasers visible. They slowly moved down the cold hall until they came up to a door, Grullo was about to kick the door in but Keppel stopped him "Wait, look." Keppel said before he gestured to the hinges of the door.

"Whoever built this place, did it in a hurry." Keppel said as he used his Ka-Bar to push the pins out of the hinge on the door as Grullo held it tightly, as he removed the last pin; the door shook loose and allowed Grullo to move it out of the way. Grullo was about to move the door but found that it was tense, but Crimson pulled his Knife out and traced the wire until he found a grenade bouquet hanging from the roof.

"Child's play." Crimson said as he cut the wire and looped it back through the pins to make a grenade necklace. Nightshade pulled his knife out and cut the wire on the grenade necklace before he pocketed the grenades "No?" Crimson asked, Nightshade shook his head "You're a fucking idiot." Nightshade said with a chuckle. "Come on, get serious." Carmine said as he attempted to look through his optics but saw only darkness.

"Shit guys, I'm blind. That explosion took out my optics." Carmine said as he disconnected them from his helmet and placed them in his bag, Keppel disconnected his own and handed them to the rifleman "I can see in the dark already, take mine." The marksman said, Carmine chuckled "You're a lifesaver, Seraph." Carmine said as he connected the new optics to his helmet and pulled them down to activate them. "So, Seraph, can you see our IR strobes or is it like low light vision?" Carmine asked the sniper as they slowly moved down the hall.

"Nah, it's more like I can see everything perfectly so I can't see your IR strobes but I can everything with perfect detail." Keppel explained as they slowly cleared the area. "Shut up, listen." Onyx said as he held his fist up in the air, the group got quiet as they listened to the silence until they heard whispering.

"You gotta get me out of here, Bast and Jezebeth are dead and they're down the hall. What do you mean I'm on my own, this was your plan!" A man yelled in a hushed tone. "Whisper, should we know anything about Abdiel?" Carmine asked through the comms as they closed in on the door. "His semblance is called 'Domino', he can link with someone and whatever happens to him, happens to them to a lesser extent." Phantom explained, Carmine shuddered "Well, that's just perfect. I might as well kick my own ass." Carmine stated before he kicked the door in, the door collapsed to the ground before they ran into the room.

"Abdiel! Surrender, we have you surrounded!" Onyx yelled as the Wolves raised their weapons at the man, he laughed as he stood up slowly and clapped sarcastically. "Well congradu-fucking-lations, ya fuck sticks. You can free these girls all you want, but you can't undo all the 'fun' we had with them." Abdiel said as the lights in the room shot to life, the Wolves deactivated their optics before the light hit their eyes to avoid being blinded.

The mercenaries looked around the room and saw multiple horrors of young girls chained to the wall or floor with helpless, defeated looks that have taken over their faces. "You son of a bitch!" Carmine exclaimed before he took off in a dead sprint and threw a right cross that struck Abdiel on the left side of his face, Abdiel reached up placed his hand on the rifleman's chest before his eyes flashed a sinister yellow. Carmine followed it up with an uppercut to the auctioneer's jaw, as his punch landed; Carmine grabbed his own jaw in pain "Ahh fuck!" Carmine exclaimed before he shook it off and resumed the ass kicking seminar.

The rifleman picked the man up off the ground before he threw him across the room into a set of steel bars, Carmine immediately grabbed his own face in agony as blood started to seep from his lips. Carmine quickly unfastened his helmet and tossed it onto a table followed by the balaclava, Carmine spat out some blood as he readied himself again "You had enough, Abdiel?" Carmine asked, Abdiel chuckled "My mom hit me harder than you." Abdiel said as he pushed himself off the ground.

As Carmine readied himself to throw the next punch, they heard the speakers in the roof buzz before the sound of metal music blared through them "We got you Titan, kick his ass!" Titus said as the claps of gunfire could be heard in the background. Carmine grinned "Let the fun begin." Carmine stated before he ran full speed at Abdiel and drove his knee into the auctioneer's gut, Carmine grunted as the pain ripped through his abdomen.

Enemies – Shinedown

Listen up, there's not a moment to spare. It's quite a drop from the top, so how you feeling down there? It's a cold, cruel, harsh reality, caught stuck here with your enemies

Carmine drew his leg back before he drove it square into Abdiel's chest and sent the man flying into the wall, the sound of bricks breaking and hitting the concrete echoed as the music blared from the roof.

Who do you think you are, tearing us all apart? Where did you think you could go? 'Cause everyone already knows it's twenty to one, yeah, so you better run.

You got the world on its knees; you're taking all that you please. You want more (you want more) but you'll get nothing from me. You're like the burden we bear, you're all the hate that we share. You want more (you want more) but you'll get nothing from me but enemies. Enemies!

Carmine grabbed his own chest as the pain rippled through his body, he shook his head as he corrected his stance and continued onward. Abdiel stumbled away from the wall as he tried to flee but Crimson moved in front of him, the Reaper turned around to run but came face to face with a pissed off Carmine who lifted him off the ground before immediately slamming him down into the concrete. The others watched as a laceration formed on the side of Carmine's head and blood seeped from the wound.

You started something that you just couldn't stop, you turned the ones that you love into the angriest mob and their one last wish is that you pay for it and there's no way you're getting out of this.

Who do you think you are, tearing us all apart? Where did you think you could go? 'Cause everyone already knows it's twenty to one, yeah, so you better run.

You got the world on its knees; you're taking all that you please. You want more (you want more) but you'll get nothing from me. You're like the burden we bear, you're all the hate that we share. You want more (you want more) but you'll get nothing from me but enemies. Enemies! Enemies!

Onyx opened his scroll and gauged Carmine's aura levels "Fuck, he's at 22%. If he keeps this up, we'll be burying him." Onyx said as they watched his aura level flinch with each blow he landed on the bloody auctioneer. "Titan! That's enough!" Onyx yelled but Carmine didn't flinch.

"No, this fucker has done enough. He needs to die!" Carmine exclaimed as he withdrew his MP7 and pointed it at the bloodied Reaper. Abdiel cackled as blood leaked from his mouth as he smiled with missing teeth "Yes, do it. Kill me, feed the beast!" Abdiel said as Carmine struggled to stand.

Where did you think you could go? 'Cause everyone already knows It's twenty to one yeah, so you better run.

You've got the world on its knees, you've taken all that you please, you want more (you want more) but you'll get nothing from me. You're like the burden we bear, you're all the hate that we share, you want more (you want more) but you'll get nothing from me (but enemies)

As Carmine's finger began to squeeze the trigger, the world around him seemed to fall away as he found himself surrounded by darkness and illuminated by moonlight. "What the fuck!?" Carmine asked himself as he looked around in circles until his eyes stopped on Onyx who stood across from him. "I'm sorry, I promised you I wouldn't use my semblance on you, but… I had to; I had no choice. If you had pulled the trigger, you would have died also and you can't just leave Sapphire like that. The girl is head-over-heels in love with you and what do I say? 'Oh, sorry Sapphire, we failed to protect him.' Fuck no, you go home to her!" Onyx exclaimed.

"What happens now?" Carmine asked in a solemn voice, Onyx shook his head "I instructed Crimson and Nightshade to get Abdiel out of here and to release the bind on you. As for you, I want you to take some time off." Onyx stated, the last words hit Carmine hard "Time off? You can't be serious?! We are at war! We are facing a possible genocide unlike ever seen before, we have no time to rest!" Carmine exclaimed as he became enraged.

"Carmine! Look at yourself! When was the last time you actually ate something?!" Onyx said before Carmine was reduced to just his boxers as a mirror formed in front of him. Carmine looked at his body and saw that some of his muscles had atrophied and he had lost weight. "This need to eliminate the Reapers has consumed you, you can't do this alone. You can't push yourself to the edge and expect to keep sane, why do you try to do this by yourself?!" Onyx yelled; Carmine shook his head as the visions of Eastview came flooding back. The images surrounded the brothers as they played out like a movie, the miniguns on the mammoth spinning up and shredding the citizens, the missile pods launching salvos that murdered dozens, all while Carmine hopelessly tried to stop the vehicle of death.

The images disappeared as Onyx was stunned silent and Carmine shook his head as he just kept saying "I'm sorry." Repeatedly. Onyx grabbed his brother and pulled him into a bearhug before the rifleman broke down in his older brother's arms "You did everything you could, there's no way you could have stopped it. We had no idea of the layout of the bunker, so they got the jump on us." Onyx said as he consoled his younger brother.

The dark room dematerialized as Onyx let go of Carmine's head, the rifleman collapsed to the ground as Onyx stumbled backwards before Keppel caught him and helped him to the floor. "Is he gonna be alright?" Grullo asked as he picked the rifleman up off the floor, Onyx nodded weakly as Abdiel struggled to break free from Crimson and Nightshade who held him tightly, he tried to speak but Crimson had already gagged him with his own sock.

As they recuperated, the 184th and the Devil's Disciples came running into the basement "Alright boys, the cavalry is here…" Titus started to say before trailed off as he saw the carnage. "What the hell happened here?" Titus asked confused, Crimson shook his head "Titan lost it, but because of this asshole's semblance, whatever happens to him happens to whoever he marks with a little glyph to a lesser extent. He marked Titan, so he was basically kicking his own ass as well as this douchebag's ass." Crimson explained.

"Oh god. Grizz, get this piece of shit out of here. Bubba, do what you can." Titus said as the mercenaries got to work, Grullo laid Carmine down on the floor before Bubba projected his semblance into the rifleman while the Disciples busted open the locked cells that lined the wall. Grullo held his scroll open for Bubba to gauge Carmine's aura as he continued to project his semblance into Carmine's body. "Crimson, grab the stretcher from my bag and get it unfolded." Bubba said as he Carmine's aura slowly rose.

"What happened to callsigns?" Crimson asked as he reached into Bubba's bag, Bubba looked at the infantryman with fire in his eyes. "Fuck callsigns, that was when we were infiltrating. I think they know who it is that interrupted their party." Bubba said as Crimson sat the stretcher down on the ground. Grullo rolled the rifleman over and pulled his bag off the man before they placed him on the stretcher, Bubba and Grullo grabbed the handles of the stretcher before they lifted it off the ground. Nightshade grabbed Carmine's bag and his weapons while Crimson picked up the balaclava and the helmet off the table.

Onyx slowly stood up and grabbed his gear off the ground as Bubba and Grullo carried Carmine out of the basement prison, the mercenaries walked out into the night air as three Ospreys flew overhead and landed in the open fields. Bubba and Grullo rushed ahead as the ramp lowered on one of the VTOL before they sat the stretcher down. The other Wolves boarded the same VTOL as the other mercenaries loaded their prisoners onto the other awaiting Ospreys.

Carmine slowly opened his eyes before he tried to sit up but Grullo forced him back down, the heavy armor was reloaded onto the LCACs before they reflated and pulled off the beach. The Ospreys took off into the night sky as the LCACs sailed through the water under the cover of night. Titus's voice came across the comms "Hey, let Carmine sit up; he's gonna want to see this." Titus said as the back ramp opened, the VTOL came to stop and hovered in the air with the island still visible in the distance. Grullo and Bubba helped Carmine sit up, his eyes focused as the last VTOL took off into the sky, "Three… Two… One… contact!" Titus said over the comms before a massive explosion ripped through the side of the mansion that was followed by other explosions that ripped the compound to pieces. "But we can't let anything be left standing so, we borrowed something from the base in Vacuo." Bubba said as a bright light screamed through the sky as it flew over the island and adjusted its flight course ninety degrees down into the middle of the compound.

The missile hit the island and engulfed the area in a bright flash of light before a wall of fire and destruction swallowed the island as a mushroom cloud filled the night sky. Dust crystals exploded in the vortex of chaos, lightning dust crystals exploded and hit the island with arches of electricity as fire dust crystals exploded and scorched the ground and enveloped anything that stood in its way, "Good riddance." Carmine said as he laid back down on the steel floor.

Carmine closed his eyes as he slipped into unconsciousness, when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in his bed as he stared at the roof. Carmine tried to get out of bed but found his body too weak to move "You gotta rest, my Titan. Finally, I have you to myself for a while." Sapphire said as she pressed her naked body up against his own, Carmine grunted as he moved slightly and wrapped his arms around her curvaceous body. "Sapphire, I want you to know that I will always protect you. I will destroy anyone who tries to harm you." Carmine said before he kissed her on the neck.

"No, you won't, you can't even protect yourself." Sapphire said, Carmine sat up slightly and rolled her over "What did you say?" Carmine asked before he rolled her body over and her head rocked to the side lifelessly with her throat slit.

Carmine shot awake in a cold sweat before he gripped the side of his head "Babe, what's wrong?" Sapphire asked concerned, Carmine shook his head as he scurried out of the bed "I don't know what you are." Carmine said before he threw the door open and ran out but was immediately knocked out by Grullo who shook his head afterward. "Sapphire, whatever he said, that wasn't him. It was Loki, she's in his head." Phantom said as they picked up Carmine's unconscious body and carried him to a chair.

They sat Carmine's unconscious body down in the chair and strapped his arms and legs down tightly, Onyx walked up behind Carmine as he flexed his fingers. Sapphire pulled on a pair of boy shorts and Carmine's hoodie as she joined them, Harlequin walked up behind her and pulled her aside. "Her name is Opal Mai and her semblance allows her to project a mirror image of herself anywhere within a mile, but also, she can leave a 'ghost' in her victims psyche." Harley explained as Onyx grabbed the sides of Carmine's head and closed his eyes.

*Inside Carmine's mind*

"Alright bitch! Get the fuck out of my brother's head!" Onyx yelled as he manifested his AK into his hands. As Onyx walked down a desolate hall, Carmine walked out of a room but seemed off; when he Carmine saw Onyx he screamed and hid behind a pillar "W-who are you?" The false Carmine asked, Onyx tilted his head "Carmine, it's me, Onyx. Your brother." Onyx said, the false Carmine slowly walked out from behind the pillar.

"Wow, you're scary looking." The false Carmine said, Onyx chuckled "That's ironic, the White Fang refer to you as 'the devil incarnate'." Onyx said with a chuckle, but the false Carmine stayed silent "I would never hurt anyone." The false Carmine said in a weak tone. Onyx tilted his head again "Say, what's your name?" Onyx asked the timid man, the false Carmine looked at Onyx with a small glint of happiness. "Oh, my name is Fear. I'm your brother's emotion." Fear explained, Onyx seemed surprised. "Wait, you're self-aware that you're nothing more than an emotion, a chemical reaction?" Onyx asked, Fear nodded back before they continued down the hall. The duo continued down the hall until they came upon another false Carmine who was dancing around and singing.

"Is that joy or happiness?" Onyx asked, Fear nodded "Hey Joy! How are you!?" Onyx asked, Joy spun around and stared at the man "I am doing FANTASTIC!" Joy exclaimed as fireworks exploded behind him. "JOY I SWEAR TO GOD, I WILL RIP YOUR HEAD OFF AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS!" A demonic voice yelled as it shook the chamber. "And who is that?" Onyx asked, Fear looked at Onyx concerned "That's Rage, the second strongest of us all." Fear said as a false Carmine walked out of the darkness with flames burning along his body and devil horns protruding from his head.

"So, you're rage?" Onyx asked, the emotion bowed as a pointy tail swished around behind him "Anger H. Rage at your service." Rage said as he composed himself properly, Joy danced around and hummed happily, Anger rolled his eyes "Sorry for the fairy over there. What can I do for you? We gotta kill someone, because I'll get Bloodlust." Anger said, Onyx looked back at the false Carmine with concern.

"And where is Bloodlust?" Onyx asked, the false Carmine smirked as sharp teeth shown from his mouth before blood seeped from his teeth and his eyes "You're looking at him." Rage said as a set of wings sprouted from his back but disappeared as Anger regained his composure.

"Right… I'm looking for someone, a woman with silver hair." Onyx said, Fear coward behind Joy "The nasty lady. The one who split us up, she's after the consciousness but Rage has kept her at bay." Fear explained, Rage shook his head "I can't land a hit on her." Rage said as long claws grew from his fingertips and quickly retracted.

"Show me where she's at." Onyx said, Rage wrapped his arms around Onyx before they were swallowed by a column of fire, leaving Joy and Fear alone. "Bye new friend!" Joy exclaimed as he tossed glitter into the air.

The column of fire appeared again and dissipated quickly as Onyx and Rage stood next to each other. It was silent as they stared down a hall until the sound of music came from behind them "Who's that?" Onyx asked, Rage chuckled "The emotion stronger than me. Love." Rage said as he opened a door to reveal a false Carmine at a microphone stand singing while he played an acoustic guitar. A portrait of Sapphire hung on the wall behind him along with snapshots of her smiling, holding his hand, and snuggled up next to him.

Far Away – Nickelback

This time, this place

Misused, mistakes.

Too long, too late,

Who was I to make you wait?

Just one chance, just one breath,

Just in case there's just one left.

'Cause you know.

You know, you know!

I love you,

I loved you all along and I miss you.

Been far away for far too long,

I keep dreaming you'll be with me

and you'll never go

Stop breathing

If I don't see you anymore

"Man, he really does love her." Onyx said as he watched the false Carmine sing out to an empty crowd. "Right, the bad lady is this way." Rage said as he led Onyx down a corridor to a dark corner, as they continued down the hall, the sound of scraping and banging could be heard from the hall. Onyx rounded the corner and found a silver haired woman trying to break through a door.

"Hey bitch, I brought backup this time." Rage said, Loki laughed before her eyes rested on Onyx "Oh fuck." Loki said before Onyx raised his rifle and opened fire, the rounds screamed through the air before they ripped through Loki's body. Her body collapsed to the ground before it simply disappeared.

"Wow, that was easier than I thought." Onyx said, Rage chuckled "Yeah, we're emotions. We can't do shit; we just pilot the mech." Rage said before he faded into nothingness. The corridor shifted until he was standing where he started except the real Carmine stood across from him.

"Onyx, what the fuck?" Carmine asked confused, Onyx shook his head "Loki was in your head, like a ghost fragment in your head. I killed her fragment so you should be good." Onyx explained, Carmine reached up to the back of his head and pulled off a metallic spider that was sparking.

"Thanks brother, I appreciate it. Love ya, man." Carmine said before he hugged his older brother, Onyx smiled as he closed his eyes and released himself from his brother's psyche. Onyx stumbled backward into the sofa as Carmine's head dropped unconsciously "How bad was it? You were in there for a while." Crimson asked, Onyx shook his head "Bad, his emotions were their own separate entities instead of being an entire unit. I found the fragment and killed it dead." Onyx said as he tried to stay awake.

Carmine regained consciousness five minutes later and thrashed about as he tried to get the cuffs off his body, Crimson and Nightshade took the cuffs off the rifleman before he stood up but lost his balanced momentarily. "I'm good, I just need to go to bed." Carmine said as he slowly walked to his room and climbed into bed weakly. "Go, he needs you now more than ever." Harlequin said as she gave Sapphire a light shove, the blue-eyed goddess smiled and moved the like bolt of lightning as she disappeared into his room and locked the door behind her.

Sapphire discarded her clothing quickly and climbed back into bed next to Carmine, she pressed her body up against his as she melted from his warmth. "I love you, Sapphire." Carmine said as he wrapped his arms around her nude frame and pulled her body into his. "I love you, my Titan. My guardian, my everything." Sapphire said before she kissed him on the lips. "I will always protect you, no matter what. I will keep you safe and destroy anyone who tried to harm you." Carmine said as he kept one eye open.

"Mmm, I know you will. You're my Titan, my guardian." Sapphire said as she pushed her ass into his pelvis. "Now, you gonna fuck me or what?" Sapphire asked as she handed him a wrapped condom.

A/N: Well, this took a little longer than I expected it to take. I finished up with my last class so I should be able to write more, but I also have to work more so hopefully I'll be able to balance to two again. Anyway, Remember to Favorite, Follow, and Leave a Review, and as always, this is Nightmare 6-4, signing off.
