Intermission

World of Remnant:

Team Chimera

Just give me a moment here…This is not an easy subject to talk about.

(Deep Breath)

Okay as you all should know by now the White Fang was formed in the wake of the Faunus Rights Revolution, meant to be a group that would protect the rights of Faunus and foster peace between Faunus and Humans.

(The flag of the White Fang is shown, originally blue with the white colored symbol in the center)

However not everyone was on board with that.

(The flag is replaced by the scene of a red woman with a cape sitting on a throne while overhead, red curtains with the White Fang symbol is shown while torches were lit on either side of.)

The current leader, Sienna Kahn is the newest leader while her predecessor along with his supporters broke away when it became quite clear a rift was forming in the organization and became Chief of Menagerie.

(The symbol of the White Fang is shown again, turning red and white while being split down the side.)

But who was the leader before him?

(A dark blue muscular figure is shown next with clawed hands and feet and wielding a golden staff in one hand and from the back was a feline tail.)

The Faunus Rights Revolution was at half a century ago and the Chief was a young man when he first joined the White Fang. The one who started the original movement that eventually became the White Fang was a panther Faunus named Kimahri Ronso, who just like Menagerie's Chief dreamed of having the Faunus walk alongside the human race.

(In front of Kimahri were members of the then White Fang, kneeling before him)

Of course, there were going to be those who resisted the idea and so KImahri trained the members of the then White Fang to defend themselves and he eventually formed an elite team of Faunus 'Huntsmen' called Chimera, named after the legendary beast.

(A symbol was shown but instead of the White Fang's wolf it resembled a blue Chimera)

Their symbol was a blue Chimera and the leader of the Team was Garik Ronso, another panther Faunus who joined the White Fang was he was very young and a relative of the High Leader at the time.

(A younger and less muscular but still bulky blue colored panther Faunus appears now)

The other members were Ajax Tublat, a male gorilla Faunus who was known for his incredible strength.

(Followed by a dark grey muscular figure with gorilla like arms)

Sol Salamandra, a male salamander Faunus who had the semblance of controlling electrical devices.

(An orange figure with dark scales up the back of the neck)

Beaton Gurita, a male octopus Faunus who is a skilled swordsman who uses both his octopus' arms on his back and the human arms he has to fight with.

(A red figure with eight octopus arms sprouting from his back)

Dwayne Procyon, a smooth-talking male raccoon Faunus who had the semblance to pass through any matter and object he can walk into.

(A blue figure with a racoon tail)

And finally, the final member was perhaps newest member to join the White Fang, Ghira Balladonne another black panther Faunus who already proved himself to Kimahri enough to become a member of Team Chimera.

(The final figure had cat ears and claws on his hands and feet)

After some months passed by, Team Chimera became the most skilled and strongest team in the White Fang.

(Team Chimera stood in a village with Faunus surrounding and praising them)

However a rift formed between Garik and Kimahri with Garik believing that peace would not stop the humans from hurting and killing the Faunus and wanted him to change his plans of helping the Faunus by destroying the human race once and for all.

(Garik is shown kneeling before Kimahri who was sitting on the High Leader's thrown. Garik growled as he got up…and leapt at Kimahri)

But when Kimahri refused, Garik brutally killed Kimahri for his 'weak' methods and then told all of the members and top leaders of the White Fang that Kimahri had been killed by human assassins.

(Garik was now sitting on the High Leader's throne, the camera zooming back to show the rest of the White Fang kneeling before him)

Garik made himself the new leader of the White Fang and made a promise to free the world from humans, so that the Faunus could finally be in a world of freedom.

(The camera zooms back in on Garik as his eyes let out a fiery blaze)

Five years passed by and Garik was every bit the brutal leader he promised he would be with the other members of Team Chimera being his top officers. One day though, when Garik lead Team Chimera to attack a human village it seemed the youngest member Ghira finally had enough.

(Team Chimera was now shown in a village with several humans on their knees before them, begging for their lives.)

Ghira made his move and apposed Garik, stopping him from attacking while the rest of Team Chimera had their hands full.

(Ghira, the purple one stepped out and stood between Garik and the humans)

He had grown to hate Garik for killing Kimahri and after witnessing Garik and the others kill the few Huntsmen in the village before dragging the villagers out to be interrogated out at gun point, he knew something had to be done. As Garik was about to kill the villagers, Ghira intervened and stopped him from killing the villagers, allowing them all to escape.

(The scene transitions to the White Fang throne room with Garik glaring down at Ghira who defiantly glared back)

Garik was furious and after returning to the White Fang headquarters he demanded Ghira explain his actions. Ghira rationalized his actions by condemning Garik' new approach, claiming he was turning the White Fang into a gang of murderers when it was supposed to be a symbol of peace.

(Ghira then pointed at Garik, making his challenge)

Ghira then challenged Garik for leadership of the White Fang and before Garik could say anything, Dwayne Procyon of Team Chimera joined Ghira's side, agreeing with him.

(The racoon Faunus Dwayne stepped out and stood with Ghira. Garik let out a roar and leapt at Ghira and the sounds of battle was heard as the screen went black.)

Enraged by this, Garik accepted Ghira's challenge and before the rest of the White Fang, engaged in a battle that lasted for four long hours.

(Ghira was shown on his knees with Garik triumphantly standing over him, ready to finish him off. However, Garik's claws were countered by a black aura surrounding Ghira who leapt up and slammed Garik onto the ground.)

At the end of those hours, it looked like Garik was going to win and kill Ghira but Ghira quickly countered and used his Semblance to beat Garik, having been careful to never use it in front of his comrades and thus he took Garik by complete surprise.

(Garik was shown to be unconscious as Ghira stood over him and held up a fist as the White Fang hailed their new leader.)

As his first order as new High Leader, Ghira and his right-hand Dwayne left Garik at the Le Brea correctional facility, a known prison where the most dangerous criminals are placed in.

(Dwayne and Ghira brought Garik to the prison building where two guards took Garik inside)

After Ghira and Dwayne left him, Garik vowed to one day escape and to kill Ghira along with everyone he loves and is close with if it's the last thing he would ever do.

(Garik was shown seething in his cell before transitioning over to Ghira who stood up from the High Leader's throne, facing the White Fang who respectfully bowed to him)

While Ghira became the new High Leader of the White Fang and had Dwayne as his greatest officer, the rest of Team Chimera, Ajax, Sol, and Beaton left the White Fang and went their separate ways, seeking to hide from their past history with the White Fang and Team Chimera.

(Team Chimera was shown one last time before going their separate ways and the screen turned to black.)

"Ha! Ha! Ha!"

In the courtyard of a rather large house, a little girl with black hair and cat ears was practicing swinging her wooden sword again and again. She had already mastered basic stance but part of training was always getting up early in the morning and practice her katas for at least an hour.

After having a nutritious breakfast of course.

She wore a simple white kimono-shirt with long sleeves and black hakama pants, but her feet were bare. Nearby, a muscular man with black hair and matching beard watched with undisguised pride at his little girl. She was certainly coming along nicely and her hard work was showing.

And there was the other person in the courtyard.

"All right, you seem to have gotten the basic stance down." He walked forward, causing the girl to pause. "We work on your personal style."

"Personal style?" The girl asked, wiping her brow.

"Yes." The person nodded. "While having the basics down it's always important to add creativity into your method of fighting. Remember, Blake that the perfect attack begins with your attention. Every pebble can be an obstacle or an opportunity. Hone your focus and then add speed, timing, strategy, surprise."

Who was this man instructing his daughter?

"Yes, Master Terra." Blake bowed gratefully.

Someone who became a close friend recently after helping him save his family. Ghira had been grateful enough to welcome the man to his home and asked him to help train his daughter to defend herself. While he and his wife were more than capable of teaching her, they could see the starstruck look in their daughter's eyes, seeing someone who could quickly become a role model to her.

And so far, Blake absorbed his teachings like a sponge.

'Terra' was covered completely in bronze armor which, in this weather, should be scorching him on the inside but he never complained or seemed like he was overheating. He never removed his armor, even when he was invited for social gathering.

"Now, for the time being it's obvious style you will have to be quick, agile and precise." Terra continued. "Use your opponents' strategies against them and you take away their power. Get your opponents to lose their grace, and they will lose their purpose. And remember Blake, do not meet hate with hate. Meet it with purpose."

Blake nodded, raising her wooden sword.

"Now…" Terra raised his weapon, a key shaped sword. "Show me."

Blake let out a battle cry as she attacked.

Her attacks were easily blocked or evaded but Terra did not attack her, opting to let her attack and see if she could get past his guard. Terra had shown to be immensely strong in battle, but he would never ever consider harming a child.

That was expected of the legendary Bronze Knight.

He would continue sparring with Blake until she tired out and then bring her back inside for lunch. He might not eat or drink but he stayed at the insistence of Ghira and Kali who respected him greatly and because Blake idolized him.

While they continued their spar, Ghira walked back into the house, content to leave his daughter in her mentor's hands and walked into his bedroom. He walked around the bed and placed his hand on a secret switch on the wall and soon enough it opened to reveal a secret room that only him and his wife, Kali knew about. He stepped inside and turned the light on, revealing it to be a room filled with things and memories from his time as a member of 'Team Chimera' and leader of the 'current' White Fang. The current chief of Menagerie grabbed a flag with the symbol 'Team Chimera', which had the signature blue logo of the mythical beast, Chimera.

As he looked at it for a few minutes he began to remember…
