Whenever Kokonoe speaks she tends to be vulgar. Her vulgar language will be in this story as well but I will try to keep it under control for the T rating. I know that the blazblue games is rated T as well but I know not to push my luck.
Chapter 22 (S) The Mission
(The Airship)
It has been 7 years since Tager has been a direct subordinate to Kokonoe. When Tager initially joined her, the scientist saved Tager from certain death and he helped her out of a gratitude for saving his life. Though after a few missions working under Kokonoe he saw the world in a different way working under the scientist than he did during his days as a mercenary. As of now, Iron Tager has given Kokonoe his complete trust and loyalty.
"Tager, give me an update of your current status." Kokonoe said over a transmission that can be heard by Tager over an earpiece
"I'm 45 minutes away from the drop location, all of my statuses read green across the board." Tager responded to Kokonoe
"That's good, a lot of this was rushed so tell me what you know of this mission." Kokonoe said
"I know that I am to apprehend the White Fang members who has recently acquired a large shipment of dust. I'm honestly surprised, I didn't know Sector 7 cared about the affairs of the White Fang." Tager commented
"Please, those big wigs don't give a damn about the White Fang. The owner of the dust shipment is the real priority." Kokonoe said
"You mean the Schnee's?" Tager asked
"Yep, this is nothing more than a glorified demonstration. Those idiots are only doing this to be on the good graces of Jacques or as I would prefer to call him Jacquass. If this succeeds, then Sector 7 will have a client and Jacquass will have someone who can do things outside of the jurisdiction of Atlus. But don't worry your head about the finer details, just leave it to the people who organized this exhibition." Kokonoe briefly explained to Tager
"I take it your offended by the carelessness of Sector 7 in regards to the White Fang?" Tager asked Kokonoe
"To be honest, I don't give a damn what those terrorists are trying to do. They act holier than thou and pretend they are the voice of the Faunus. But the reality is that they are a bunch of idiots who doesn't know what the hell their doing. Not to mention that from a lot of their activities they never did think about the long-term effects of their little tactics. It's a little annoying, one of the few good things I can say about the top dogs of Sector 7 is that their upfront about their mission and objective. Besides I have more important things to worry about and your follow up mission is related to that." Kokonoe said in a blunt tone
"I see, what can you tell me about the next mission after I deal with the White Fang?" Tager asked
"Seeing that you don't have anything better at the moment I don't see the harm in telling you. A facility that I've been keeping an eye has been giving me some strange readings. To be honest its making me uneasy and if it's what I think it is, then we are going to have a lot more problems in the immediate future." Kokonoe answered
"It must be a pretty special facility if you're keeping an eye on it." Tager responded in a casual tone
"Considering its Azrael's prison, I suppose that it is pretty special. The strange readings that I'm getting gives me a bad feeling that Azrael is out." Kokonoe said that shocked Tager
"Azrael busted out, how come we weren't notified?" Tager asked in a shocked tone
"That's because the readings has been on a constant loop. So it leads me to believe that it was an inside job. Not to mention that the recordings shows that nothing is wrong. I need more accurate data before I can think of a long-term plan." Kokonoe said
"If someone really did free Azrael, then we need to be properly prepared. I still remember what happened the last time that Mad Dog was on the loose." Tager said
"I know, the reason that I agreed for you to go on this mission is that it will give you a chance to investigate without getting unexpected attention especially from a certain General." Kokonoe said
"Do you think that there's a chance I'll run into General Ironwood? I know that you have a less than stellar opinion of him, and I assume that seeing me will unintentionally provoke the General to come after you." Tager said in a concerned tone
"Don't worry about Ironhead, right now him, his soldiers, and even that stuck up bitch Winter are licking their wounds after having a run in with Hakumen." Kokonoe responded to Tager
"They ran into Hakumen, I doubt things went the way General Ironwood wanted or hoped." Tager said to Kokonoe
"Yep, I'm still trying to wrap my brain around ways to control Hakumen. I have a pretty good idea of what Hakumen wants. It's not going to affect your mission so don't worry about him. There is a chance that he might run into a Maiden, but that's a bit unlikely." Kokonoe told Tager
"You told me a few things about the Maidens, do you think there is a chance I'll run into one?" Tager asked
"Nah I wouldn't count on it. Though if you did run into a Maiden try to capture her if you can. I gave you the basic idea about Maidens a while ago, so you should be able to handle her if that is to happen. Though if you don't, then don't worry about it." Kokonoe explained
"Tager we're getting closer to the drop off point. You better get ready." The airship pilot said to Tager
"Kokonoe I'm about to make the drop off." Tager told Kokonoe
"I see, well contact me if something happens." Kokonoe said before she cut of the transmission
(Mistral Forest)
After arriving at the drop off point, Tager had jumped off the airship and made a good landing. After Tager landed, he looked around to see if there are any Grimm or stand out individuals that noticed Tager's landing. After seeing that everything is clear Tager proceeded to begin his mission.
"Alright, from the intel I have at the moment it looks like that I'm not too far off from my objective. Now why don't you come on out, so I can get an accurate idea of whether or not your friend or foe?" Tager said out loud causing two people to get out from hiding. The two people that were hiding is a tall Black Cat Faunus and a girl who is wearing a hood.
"I thought I hid my presence well, but I shouldn't be surprised if Sector 7's Red Devil can notice meow." The Black Cat Faunus told Tager in a calm tone
"Who are you, I see that you are part of the Kaka clan?" Tager asked
"My name is Tora Kaka and I'm taking this girl to Ronin-Gai. Though as for why, well you have your secrets and I have mine. But I do have an idea of who you're looking for and I can point you in the right direction." Tora told Tager
"I see, so what do you have for me?" Tager said
"The people your trying to find is east of this location. There are some White Fang Members and some of them are armed. So a surprise attack will be the most effective to deal with them but you must act fast meow." Tora advised Tager
"If you don't mind me asking, why go out of your way to warn me of the nearby White Fang?" Tager asked
"Because me and this girl has been trying to avoid trouble. The Grimm I can handle, but the White Fang are another story. Though they aren't the type to attack Faunus unprovoked. I'd prefer not to tempt fate. I can predict the Grimm, but the people can't be predicted meow." Tora said in a calm tone
"I see." Tager said in a cautious tone at how calm and articulate the Faunus is being
"By the way, I must advice that you act fast, because there have been some sightings of some bandits around Mistral." Tora told Tager
"I'll keep your warning in mind. By the way, Ronin-Gai is a considerable far distance from here. Do you have an idea of how you'll make the distance?" Tager asked
"I have my ways so you don't need to worry about it. Besides, I'm not on a time limit so there's no need for me to rush. Anyway, I suppose that it is time we went our separate ways. Farewell Red Devil." Tora said before she left with the child wearing the cloak
"A part of me is slightly curious about those two. However, it bears no relevance to my current mission." Tager said before he left to get to the White Fang members
(White Fang Camp)
After spending almost an hour going in the direction Tora told him, Tager had found the White Fang members along with the shipment of Dust. After seeing the shipment, Tager had already started to think of a plan and looked at the surrounding area. Once Tager memorized the area, he started to look at each member of the White Fang and where each of them are. After Tager did that, he had an idea and started to put his plan into action.
"Commencing with the apprehension of the White Fang members." Tager said before he started to put his plan into action
Once a brief second has passed, Tager had started his mission. Tager had charged towards one of the armed members and smashed him into the large crate that was nearby. Though Tager's sudden appearance had surprised the White Members they did not show it and started firing at Tager. Reacting quickly, Tager had used his massive metallic arms to block the shots fired at him. Once the White Fang members stopped to reload their guns, Tager saw this as a good opportunity to counter attack and he blasted a large electric blast. The electric blast was strong enough to hit most of the White Fang members and it launched them back a small distance as a result. After the White Fang members were launched back, Tager had touched the large metallic container full of dust and gave it an electrical charge.
After Tager had given the metal container an electrical charge, some of the White Fang members had suddenly been sent towards the container. Once the White Fang members had gotten to the container they were attached to it like magnets to a refrigerator. The White Fang members tried to get off of the container but they were stuck. The White Fang member who wasn't attached was successful in reloading his gun and fired at Tager. Reacting quickly Tager had endured the shots and blasted another electric blast at the armed White Fang member. The member had dodged and tried to attack Tager at close range. Tager successfully blocked the attack and hit the White Fang member with a strong hit. The attack was strong enough to smash the White Fang member back into another member. Before the members could responded, they noticed that they had some static electricity on their bodies. Before they could react, Tager raised his hand and the duo had went towards him. Once the White Fang duo had gotten close Tager slammed his fist down and struck both of the White Fang members knocking them both out.
"Kokonoe, I've secured the dust shipment and knocked out the White Fang members." Tager told Kokonoe over the comm link
"How long do you think they will be out cold?" Kokonoe asked
"I'd say about two hours at most. Though my semblance should wear off in about thirty minutes. Should I stay here until the authorities arrive?" Tager asked
"No need, I have the video recording of you dealing with the White Fang and the police and nearby Huntsman has already been notified. We have evidence of you dealing with them so get out of there. Besides the nearest Huntsman should be there in fifteen minutes and Jacquass along with the bigwigs of Sector 7 should have the proof soon enough. Everything after this point is not our problem, just proceed to your next mission. But before you go I want you to get one of their scrolls." Kokonoe said before Tager grabbed the scroll of the White Fang member and left the area
"Kokonoe, why do I need to get that scroll earlier?" Tager asked
"It's because of their recent activities. You see they have been doing a few things that seems inconsistent with their past actions. Normally I wouldn't care but I caught wind of Relius's involvement with them." Kokonoe briefly explained
"Do you have any idea of what Relius wants?" Tager asked
"No clue, but that son of a bitch has always been hard to read. At the very least if by some off chance you do encounter him, then you don't need to be worried about his semblance. That scroll should give me an idea of what the White Fang are doing. Also, leave the mission report to me, and it also it goes without saying don't give that scroll to anyone except me." Kokonoe told Tager
"Understood Kokonoe, also on my way to the White Fang I came across someone from one of the Kaka clan branches. She was accompanying someone to Ronin-Gai and even pointed me in the direction to where the White Fang are located at." Tager told Kokonoe
"Did she know anything?" Kokonoe asked
"No, she was just focused on escorting the child but that's it." Tager responded
"Don't worry about it, I have a few ideas on why they'll go to Ronin-Gai and it doesn't relate to us. For now, just get to the pick-up zone so you can get to Atlus." Kokonoe instructed
(Moments Later)
Tager has spent a few hours traversing the Forest to get to the pick-up location so he can get to Atlus. Though Tager has dealt with some Grimm that crossed his path he didn't have too much trouble. As Tager was walking he noticed a Beowolf Grimm was nearby and had a vicious look in its eyes after it noticed Tager. After seeing Tager the Grimm had dashed towards Tager and the veteran soldier had put his guard up prepared for an attack. Though before the Grimm had gotten too close, its head was destroyed with a single blast. After the Grimm was destroyed, Tager looked around and noticed that it killed by a woman with short brown hair and she was with two other people who was armed with a rifle each.
"We were doing some patrol and instead of finding a raid spot. We end up coming across Sector 7's Red Devil Iron Tager. Now this is a good catch." The woman with the short brown hair said to Tager while the two people accompanying her pointed their rifles at Tager
"It's obvious that you three are bandits, and judging from the fact that we're in Mistral it's an accurate guess to say that each of you are members of the Branwen tribe." Tager said staying calm
"You made a pretty good guess, my name is Vernal and I would appreciate it if you come with us quietly." Vernal said readying her weapons
"I don't particularly care for bandits, but I would greatly prefer it if I can avoid unnecessary bloodshed. How this encounter ends depends entirely upon you Vernal." Tager said prepared for a fight
"You have managed to amass quite the reputation over years Iron Tager. So just imagine how much lien people will pay to have you Red Devil. Your enemies who has a score to settle with you, or Sector 7 who will want you back. We don't normally deal with extortion, but this is a special case." Vernal said before she fired at Tager
Tager had quickly blocked the shot that was fired from Vernal, but the other two bandits that were with Vernal had attempted to attack Tager with their weapons. When both of the bandits attacked Tager they were knocked back after hitting Tager's sturdy body. After the bandits were knocked back, Tager had grabbed one of the bandits and gave him a jolt of electricity. After giving the bandit the jolt of electricity, Tager had thrown the bandit to the side. When the bandit had gotten up he noticed his and his partner's rifle come to him at a great speed. The rifle came so quickly it hit the bandit in the face knocking him out cold.
It took a great deal of Vernal's strength for her to not lose her weapons, but it did not stop Tager from punching her. The punch was strong enough for Vernal to be launched back breaking through some trees. Tager had attempted to follow up with another attack, but a lightning bolt had hit Tager. After getting hit Tager was slightly dazed but quickly recovered and focused on Vernal and the remaining bandit. The other bandit had tried to attack Tager with her bare hands, but Tager quickly blocked it and grabbed her. After Tager grabbed her, he slammed her to the ground and knocked her out. Before Tager could do anything else, Vernal had thrown her weapon at Tager's head. The weapon had hit Tager and it staggered him briefly. The brief moment was what Vernal wanted since she was able to get her weapon and fired at Tager.
Reacting quickly Tager had decided to block the shots fired by Vernal. Though the other two bandits had recovered and made a move to attack Tager at close range. Though when the bandits and Vernal had gotten close Tager had stopped blocking and raised his arms up. After Tager raised his arms he released a strong discharge of electricity. The range of the electric discharge was large enough to hit Vernal and the other two bandits. After getting hit, the three of them were knocked back and they fell to the ground. After getting knocked down, Vernal had tried get back up and attack Tager. Unfortunately for her she was too weak to do so. Before Tager could do anything further he was slashed from behind and a masked woman appeared in front of him and kicked him back.
"What the . . ." Tager said before the masked woman attacked Tager furiously with her sword. Tager had tried to block each of her attacks but the attempt did him no good.
"Thanks Raven." Vernal said as she was getting up ready to fight Tager again
"Damn this isn't good, I didn't think that you would be fighting Raven of all people. Get the hell away from there!" Kokonoe yelled to Tager
"Roger!" Tager responded while trying to get away. Only for Raven's and Vernal's coordinated attacks to stop him from doing so. After taking a brief look around the area, Tager had thought of plan but realized that he needed to act quickly. Tager had sent a strong surge of electricity through the ground. Seeing this, Raven and Vernal had jump off of the nearby trees and into the air to avoid the electric surge. After the both of them had jumped into the air, Tager had blasted at the both of them with a plan in mind for them. Raven and Vernal had destroyed the electric blasts with their respective weapons and proceeded to land back to the ground near each other and Tager.
Though once they landed, Tager had focused his aura into the ground and something happened. After a brief second, Raven and Vernal had noticed that their weapons are being pulled to the ground. Both Raven and Vernal had held on to their weapons with a good deal of their strength. However, as they were holding on this gave Tager the chance he needed to counterattack. In a quick second, Tager had managed to grab both Raven and Vernal and proceeded to jump high into the air. After jumping into the air, Tager had proceeded to spin in the air and proceeded to dive slam both Raven and Vernal into the ground. After landing, there was a powerful shockwave and Tager emerged jumping back from the ladies. Raven and Vernal had struggled to get up but managed to do so but their aura had flickered. After a few seconds, the three of them had heard the roar of a Grimm which caused the other two bandits to regain consciousness.
"There is no doubt that all of you can deal with me. However, do you think that all of you can handle me and the Grimm?" Tager said in a confident tone
"This is more trouble than its worth, let's get out of here." Raven said before opening a portal before all the nearby bandits left. After the bandits left, several Ursa Grimm had appeared and they had charged at Tager. Once the small pack of Grimm had gotten close to Tager, he released a strong discharge of electricity and managed to kill all the attack Grimm.
"Kokonoe, I managed to get Raven and her allies to leave. Though we ended up attracting the Grimm, they were quickly dealt with after they left." Tager reported to Kokonoe
"I see, well you aren't equipped to handle someone like Raven. Considering the reputation that she has, the fact that her and her fellow bandits had gotten away with you having some injuries. I'd say that this is one of the better scenarios. Those injuries should be healed by the time you get to Atlus, so resume your trip." Kokonoe instructed to Tager
"Roger, by the way I've been getting some strange readings. It was minor and I haven't paid any thought to it. But now that things have calmed down the strange readings are gone, I am a bit curious about it though." Tager told Kokonoe
"Hmm . . . I have a good idea of what these readings are. Do you when you started to get the strange readings?" Kokonoe asked Tager
"I believe that it happened when I started fighting the bandits." Tager answered
"I see, well one of two things have happened, either one of them is a Maiden or they were recently around someone who has the powers of a Maiden. Do you remember what I told you about the Maidens?" Kokonoe said
"I remember the details you told me Kokonoe. Do you want me to coordinate a retrieval mission for the Maiden?" Tager asked
"No need Tager, we don't even know who the Maiden is. Besides the sensor I installed into you can detect the powers of a Maiden, but it can only detect traces but it can't pinpoint the source. Relius might be able to find a Maiden, but most people will see him coming a mile away. Besides, my best sources tells me that he's not in Mistral so we have some breathing room. Just head to the pick-up point and get to Atlus." Kokonoe told Tager
"Roger." Tager complied
(The Forest near the Facility in Atlus)
It has taken Tager a few days to get to Atlus after his mission with the White Fang and his encounter with the Branwen bandits. Once Tager had arrived at the facility he was greeted by a concerning sight. What Tager sees, is that there are various destroyed robot parts scattered around the area. When Tager investigated further, he also saw dried blood stains in the area. After looking around the area, Tager had taken a quick look into the facility and noticed that everything is intact on the inside.
"Kokonoe, are you seeing this?" Tager asked
"Yeah, and judging from the readings I'm getting from my sensors that's installed in the facility. My suspicions are spot on, Azrael is out and this was an inside job. Though whether this is because of some hacker, or the Atlus council think they can control him I don't know. There's been no alarm notice sent out but that only bothers me further." Kokonoe told Tager
"Do you think the White Fang had a hand in this?" Tager asked
"After hacking that scroll during your trip here, its unlikely. But I won't deny that there's some kind of connection between the people that freed Azrael and the people who are running the White Fang." Kokonoe said
"Someone has taken over the White Fang then?" Tager asked
"Only a small fraction of it, from the data I've gathered something is definitely different with the White Fang. Though until that scroll gets here so I can give it a more thorough reading, I can only speculate. Still, I got all I needed here and my suspicions has been confirmed. Since your near Atlus I have another mission for you, it's nothing major but I need you to test something out for me." Kokonoe told Tager
"Where do you need me to go?" Tager responded ready for the next task
"A few hours from your location is an abandoned lab. The area is pretty isolated so just get there and we can begin the test run." Kokonoe answered
"Understood." Tager answered
"That's good, oh and by the way I've learned that there have been some strange sightings of a creature, from the few pictures I was able to gather, its Arakune." Kokonoe told Tager
"If I encounter him do you want me to capture him?" Tager asked
"No, he's too far gone at this point just put him out of his misery. Litchi won't like it very much, but one headache at a time." Kokonoe said to Tager
"I'm surprised that she's still working under you knowing what happened to Roy." Tager said to Kokonoe
"At this point she's just using the position so she can find a way to save him using my knowledge, her skills, and Sector 7's resources. She's smart but even she knows what happens to people who go too far when doing lab experiments involving the Grimm. I'm still trying to find out the details of what went on with his lab experiment, but he was always good at covering his tracks though. Still Litchi's internship works both ways, since it gives me a chance to make sure she doesn't do anything stupid. She's working at a medical facility in Atlus so there is no way you will be seeing her anytime soon." Kokonoe briefly explained to Tager
"Understood, I am now proceeding to the isolated location." Tager said before he went to his next destination
(Atlus Forest)
"Hmm it seems I still have a fair amount of distance to go. Still if I continue this pace, then I should get there within one hour." Tager thought to himself while he was walking. Though as Tager was walking a strange sighting has caught his attention. What caught Tager's attention is the appearance of a strange man wearing an olive-green coat with a black shirt. The strange man had started walking towards Tager with the attitude that he has some business with the red soldier
"Is there something I can help you with?" Tager asked
"You are Iron Tager correct, a Huntsman who is working for Sector 7 and a direct subordinate of Kokonoe." The man said
"Do you have some business with me?" Tager said but mentally went on guard
"Listen, your boss Kokonoe has been sticking her nose where it doesn't belong. Though we can't get to her at the moment. Removing her valued subordinate will be enough to get the message across." The man said before removing his coat
"It seems that you intend to deal with me just to get to Kokonoe. I normally avoid violence, but because you intend to threaten Kokonoe, I will treat you as an enemy." Tager said before he put his fists up. After a brief second, Kokonoe had started to speak
"Tager be careful when fighting him, That man's name is Hazel and the only thing I can pull up is that he has an intense grudge against Ozpin." Kokonoe said before Tager engaged Hazel
Tager was the one to throw the first punch. Using a good deal of his strength, Hazel had used his arm to block the attack. Hazel had decided to retaliate by punching Tager in the chest. The punch did not hurt Tager, but the knockback was enough to push Hazel back a good distance. Tager decided to fire an electric blast at Hazel. Seeing the attack Hazel had rolled to the side and dodged it. After dodging the attack, Hazel had taken blue dust crystals out of his pockets and stabbed them into his arms. After a brief second, Hazel was enveloped in a visible blue air and blue veins appeared on his arms.
Then Hazel had blasted Tager with an energy blast. Tager had blocked the energy blast with a single arm, but the arm used to block it was partially frozen. Tager was slightly surprised by this but he didn't show it and focused on fighting Hazel. Tager had taken his other fist and broke the ice that his arm was frozen in and sent several electric blasts at Hazel. In response, Hazel had sent several strong ice blasts to block the electric blasts from Tager. Various blasts had collided with each other and this gave Hazel the chance to dash towards Tager. Once Hazel had gotten close, Tager had discharged electricity and managed to stun Hazel. Before Tager could grab Hazel, a crimson figure appeared and made a move to attack Tager causing him to jump back far. When Tager looked at the crimson figure, Tager saw a masked man that angered Tager greatly.
"Your Relius Clover!" Tager said to Relius
"Ah, I see that Kokonoe has managed to construct a new toy. A very powerful and efficient one at that from what I'm seeing." Relius said in an observant tone
"Damn, Hazel is bad enough but Relius and that damn Crimson Nirvana as well. Tager I have a plan so try to hold on as much as you can. If the chance to escape presents itself take it!" Kokonoe said before she started working on getting Tager some help
Tager had noticed some water spots among the ground and tried to discharge the electricity at the water so Hazel and Relius will get electrocuted. Though before the electric stream could get to the duo, Ignis had used her sharp claws to cut off the electric stream. After the electric stream was cut off, Hazel had made a dash towards Tager. Seeing Hazel coming, Tager had decided to attack him head on and once they got close to each other their fists had clashed against each other. Hazel was blocked off, but because his arms has been infused with ice dust he managed to freeze Tager's fists. After Tager's fist was frozen, Ignis had appeared behind Tager and grabbed his head from behind.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you. However, I did promise Dr. Watts a collaborative experiment." Relius said, though before Relius could do anything further a giant blade had appeared and attacked Ignis. After seeing the giant blade Hazel was briefly distracted, but it was enough for Tager to headbutt Hazel and knock him back. When Tager looked around he saw an armored young girl with blonde hair appear in front of Tager. The girl was armed with blades and is wearing a visor to cover her eyes.
"Looks like she arrived just in time Tager." Kokonoe said to Tager
"This is . . . subject 11 Lambda, from the Murakumo Labs that I recovered." Tager said before breaking the ice his fists were frozen in
"Yep, I wanted to see how she would stack up in a fight. But given the circumstances, I'd say this is as good a chance as any." Kokonoe told Tager
"I see, so you managed to salvage one of the failed Murakumo experiments and fixed her. You continue to surpass your reputation by leaps and bounds Kokonoe. Though it is only fair to tell you, I already have experience with a Murakumo unit so dealing with her should be simple, informative but simple." Relius said
"To think those labs would take children off the streets. The evil of those labs is no better than Ozpin. It will be best if I put this poor child out of her misery." Hazel said before he sent an ice blast at Lambda
Tager reacted by sending an electric blast at the ice blast that was sent and managed to destroy it. Ignis had spun towards the two with the intent to hurt them greatly. As a response, Lambda had summoned a barrage of swords at Relius. Noticing this Ignis had decided to focus on blocking the summoned blades instead. While Ignis was blocking the barrage of blades, Lambda had dashed towards Ignis and kicked her back a good distance. Lambda made a move to attack Relius, but a portal appeared near him and a claw had attacked Lambda's shoulder. The attack briefly stunned Lambda giving Ignis the chance to grab Lambda and throw her to the side.
Hazel and Tager had spent the previous few minutes fighting against each other. Though from the fact that neither is backing down shows that they are evenly matched. After a few seconds of parrying each other's attacks Hazel had thought of a plan. Tager had made a move to punch Hazel once again, but this time Hazel stood his ground and endured it. After enduring the punch, Hazel had grabbed both of Tager's arms and proceeded to freeze Tager with every drop of strength Hazel had within. Tager quickly figured out what Hazel was doing and decided to repeat Hazel's action and discharge every last drop of electricity Tager had within. As of now, it was a battle of elemental power between Tager and Hazel. Though Hazel had managed to freeze portions of Tager's body, Tager had discharged more electricity than Hazel was prepared for. Tager's electric discharge was strong enough to overwhelm Hazel and destroy the ice dust crystals Hazel had embedded within his arms. After the dust crystals were destroyed Tager had thrown a powerful punch at Hazel and it launched him back near Relius.
"As things stand the capure is looking less and less possible. Still, there is no doubt that Kokonoe is seeing this. So it appears that she gets the message, Ignis it is time for us to leave." Relius said before he disappeared along with Hazel and Ignis
"How are you feeling Tager?" Kokonoe asked Tager over the transmission
"My emergency power supply is currently active and my injuries are being healed. Hazel caught me by surprise with his ice attacks but I managed to overcome the threat." Tager answered to Kokonoe
"That's good, I've been meaning to give you some upgrades that lets you resist ice a lot better. But given all that has happened, I supposed now is the perfect time to do it." Kokonoe told Tager
"So it appears that Lambda was very capable against Relius." Tager said after observing Lambda
"Yeah, though I am 80% certain that masked son of a bitch was holding back. Remember, he said they said that they wanted to send a message. So, it's very likely that they knew I was monitoring the whole thing. Not to mention that they seemed familiar with Lambda or more specifically the Murakumo labs, especially Relius. I have a good idea on how they know, but I'll need to check in on it later." Kokonoe explained to Tager
"What kind of message do you think they wanted to send?" Tager asked
"If I had to guess, I'd say that I've gotten the attention of someone very significant. Someone who is no friend to Ozpin, I'll tell you more when you get back. I need to make sure that your properly repaired. Not to mention I want to give you some upgrades so that you won't have such a tough time against an ice user again." Kokonoe told Tager
"What about Lambda?" Tager asked
"After I repair you, I'm going to tweak Lambda for a bit and run you two through some combat drills. Once everything is done I'm sending her on a special mission. Tager, there is a small town that isn't too far from where you're at. I'm sending someone to pick you and Lambda up, though if you're in a situation where you have to fight contact me immediately Lambda is still in good condition so she'll be on bodyguard duty for a while, since you used up too much power." Kokonoe instructed Tager
"Roger, I'll stand by and wait for one of the Sector 7 agent for pick for both me and Lambda. If something happens I'll contact you immediately." Tager told Kokonoe relaying what he's supposed to do
"That's good, alright I'll see you soon." Kokonoe told Tager before she cut off the transmission
(Kokonoe's Lab)
After cutting off the transmission, Kokonoe had looked at her other computer monitor and started thinking about all of the events that has happened on Tager's recent mission. Kokonoe is one of the most brilliant people in the world and if a connection exists then it will only be a matter of time before Kokonoe uncovers it. After a few minutes of thinking Kokonoe had decided to type away at her computer with a few long-term plans in mind.
"Hmm the White Fang and their new string of activities. Not to mention Relius appearing after a few years. None of this can't be a coincidence." Kokonoe thought as she was typing away at her computer
"Hmm, still I did learn a couple of things at least. First thing I learned is that Relius knows about the Murakumo Labs. So that means that I need to have those labs investigated as soon as possible. Another thing I've learned is that something is happening with the Maidens so I have to get that Maiden tracker working the way it has too. I can't have Tager or Lambda get caught off guard by a Maiden. Damn, not to mention I still have to find both halves of the Grimm Aura and the three Azures." Kokonoe thought to herself before thinking further
"Last but not least, it appears that I've gotten Salem's attention. Alright you old hag you made your move, now I'll make mine. Hmm judging from the data, it looks like Lambda will be going to Vale as soon as she's ready. I just I hope it's not before its too late." Kokonoe thought to herself as she was getting prepared for the future
(A/N)
In this story Tager's semblance is called electro magnetism. Tager has the ability to discharge electricity and anything that is hit with the electricity that is discharged by Tager becomes magnetized by him which Tager will be able to control. The upgrades given to him by Kokonoe gives Tager a lot more control of his semblance.
So read and review
Thank you
