Prologue: The Supreme Lion King
A lion Faunus woman is doing sword training by a cliffside. She has a great view of the emerald forest and a White Fang camp. She's unable to hear the campsite because they're out of her hearing range. That didn't matter, however, because she was focusing on her sword practice. The woman only catches the sounds of the forest and blue waist cape. Laying on the grass is her white breastplate, a lion-head-shaped helmet with a white mane, and a white cloak that once belonged to a hero.
A new sound reaches her lion ears. It was nervous footsteps coming from behind. Not that she can blame them. On top of her head is a golden crown. Walking up to a king is always nerve-wracking. Or it could be the dead bodies of White Fang on the ground that is making the person nervous. The female king knew the White Fang couldn't resist a king with no guards and armour. She doesn't need them. She has her katana called Yamato.
"You're late; explain yourself," the female monarch spoke with no emotion, but her voice still carried a lot of power. She also has a mesmerizing accent that affects all who hear it. Her beauty is also mesmerizing, but it's juxtaposed with her pale yellow glowing eyes and sickly pale complexion.
"A-Apologies!" the knight clad in white armour said and stood perfectly straight, "I-I discovered a White Fang scout, and I had to deal with them before they could inform their comrades of us!"
"Is that so?" the female king asked. She looked over her shoulder and stared directly at the knight, who flinched.
"Y-Yes!" Knight said with fear and nodded twice. Her gaze feels like it's piercing his very soul.
"So you say, member of the White Fang," the King said with an unamused voice. She swings her katana at the knight. Their helmet gets split in half, revealing they're a White Fang member.
"H-How?" the White Fang member asked in bewilderment.
"A few things tipped me off. One, you didn't address me properly when approaching me. Two, my people don't fear me. Only my enemies do. And three," the King turns around, walks up to the White Fang member, and speaks with a menacing voice, "I can still smell the blood of my precious comrade you killed!" The king growled and ended the White Fang member's life with one clean swing of the Yamato.
"The White Fang has killed one of our own. Slaughter every single one of them! Don't let any of them escape!" The king shouts in her earpiece.
"Yes! My king!" a voice from the earpiece said, and White Fang camp soon became blanked by a raging inferno.
The king puts on her breastplate, helmet and cloak. An airship lands nearby, and The King enters it, and the airship takes her to the battlefield.
The members of the White Fang were caught entirely off guard then their camp was suddenly hit by artillery fire. White Knights armed with weapons called Gunblades rushed in and started killing every White Fang member they saw.
"Regroup! Regroup!" a high-ranking White Fang member shouts. They tried to lead their comrades out of the camp when a massive fireball crashed right in front of them. The force of the impact sends a few White Fang members flying. The only colours the White Fang can see now are red, orange and black.
Some got up and saw a figure in white lion-like armour standing in the fire. Through the eye slit is a pair of glowing red eyes and a black aura coming off the armoured warrior, "It's the Supreme Lion King!" a White Fang member shouted in fear.
The flames burning the camp suddenly grew stronger and thicker, and a few unfortunate White Fang members got caught in the growing flames, burning them to ash.
The Supreme Lion King grabs the handle of her katana and crouches down. Then with astonishing speed kills the high-ranking White Fang member with one swing. With no leader, the White Fang members panicked and tried to flee. But there's no escape from the flames, and white knights blocked every way out.
Their chances of survival dropped even more when the Supreme Lion King's royal knights arrived. Each wears armour based on fabled knights of the round table. Expect one.
The knight wearing the armour of Nicholas Schnee summons a white Grimm by stabbing her sword into the ground. Pointing with her weapon, the white Grimm attacks the White Fang. A Schnee is helping the Supreme Lion King. Information that still baffled the White Fang to this day.
The one wearing Sir Gawain's armour only used her fists and legs to fight. Each punch and kick carried enough strength to break the armour and masks of the White Fang with one blow. She did have a weapon, Adam's. She took from him after beating him in one on one combat. So now she wears his katana on her hip like a trophy.
Finally, the one wearing Tristan's armour is someone the White Fang knows, the oldest daughter of the Belladonnas and traitor to the White Fang. She showed no remorse for shooting at her former comrades with her black bow called the Belladonna. The knight doesn't have to worry about running out of arrows because the knight can make them with her Aura.
So the slaughter of the White Fang began in the Forever Fall Forest. They tried to beg for their lives, but the Supreme Lion King and her white knights showed no mercy. "This is for our fallen comrade!" the white knights shouted angrily.
The White Knights also shouted with pride, "For the Supreme Lion King!"
White Fang members tried hiding in a ruined tent and praying that no one would find them. But they did, and before the Supreme Lion King could strike one of them down, her blade got blocked by a chainsaw.
The White Fang lieutenant is still alive. "I've never feared you!" the lieutenant growled.
"Then you'll die braver than most," the Supreme Lion King said with no emotion in her voice. She pushes the lieutenant back. He regains his footing and rushes at the Supreme Lion King. It was clear the lieutenant had a lot of physical strength, but that meant nothing if he couldn't hit his opponent.
The Supreme Lion King is too fast for him and counters all his attacks with a technique called Judgment cut. It struck hard and fast. The move is doing heavy damage to his armour and his Aura. But he didn't give up; he just needed to find an opening and finally take down the Supreme Lion King.
But he can't find any because her form is flawless, her attacks are relentless, and unlike him, she is not showing any signs of fatigue. But he kept on fighting. The sight of the blood of his fallen comrades on the Supreme Lion King's armour drove him to keep going.
Soon the Supreme Lion King's royal knights joined the fight. The royal knight who fights with her fists matches his strength and catches his weapon between her hands. She holds him still as the Supreme Lion King and the Schnee slash at them with their swords. Belladonna followed up by shooting arrows at his chest.
"Ganging up on one foe, don't you have any honour?!" the White Fang lieutenant growled.
"We do, but the likes of you don't deserve it," the Supreme Lion King said, and she and her royal knights kept attacking the White Fang lieutenant.
Soon, his body reached its limits, and with one more Judgment cut, his Aura finally broke. A slash at his chest made the lieutenant to his knees. He then notices the white knights have him surrounded and is watching the fight.
One of the white knights has the dead body of the White Fang member he was trying to protect.
"Finish me, demon king! So I can be with my comrades again but know this! The White Fang will avenge us!" the lieutenant growled.
"They will die too," the Supreme Lion King said coldly, and one swift swing of her katana ended the lieutenant's life.
The king's dark aura and red eyes disappeared. She snapped her fingers, and the burning inferno suddenly vanished. "Search the camp and find anything useful and bring them back here," she ordered her knights.
"What do we do if we find survivors?" a knight asked.
"Kill them on sight," the Supreme Lion King said emotionlessly.
"Yes, my king!" all the white knights said in unison and shattered around the camp.
"Sir Aqua! Sir Tifa! Sir Yuna! With me!" the Supreme Lion King shouts and starts to make her way to the main tent.
"My King!" shouted the royal knights she called out for and rushed to her side.
When they reached the main tent, it was somewhat burnt, so they went inside. Upon entering, they got attacked by White Fang survivors but were killed swiftly by the royal knights. "Good work, you three," the Supreme Lion King said and patted their shoulders.
"Thank you, my king," Aqua Schnee said and bowed.
"All in a day's work, my king!" Tifa Xiao Long said happily.
"I never got tired of killing these losers," Yuna Belladonna chuckled.
When the Supreme Lion King walked past her knights, Tifa asked, "What are we looking for, my king?"
"Plans, locations of other hideouts, supply routes. The usual," the Supreme Lion King said calmly and looked at the map that was on a large table. She takes her helmet off and puts it on the table. There was a cup of coffee on it, and the Supreme Lion King sniffed it a few times, "Still warm," she said and started to drink it, "You make better coffee Aqua,"
"You're too kind, my King," Aqua smiles. She's currently looking through a nearby shelf to find any valuable information. Yuna helped out Aqua in her search.
Tifa chuckles, "You know the White Fang is trying to make people think you use fear to make us follow you,"
The Supreme Lion King scoffs, "Fear is only effective on the enemy. Using it on allies will only lead to poor performance and betrayal. Isn't that right, Sir Aqua?"
"You are correct, my king. If only my father can learn that lesson," Aqua chuckles and shows a few sheets of paper to the king.
"They are planning a raid at the docks at Vale. You won't believe who they have helped them out," Yuna said with a smile.
Curious, the Supreme Lion King looks at the paper. She then gives it to Aqua. Aqua reads it and laughs, "What's so funny?" Tifa asked. Aqua hands Tifa the document and starts laughing, "This is rich!"
A white knight comes into the tent, goes down on one knee and bows their head, "We've gathered all we can and placed them in the spot you assigned!"
"Very good," the king nods and puts on her helmet, "Help the royal knights search the tent,"
"Yes, my king!" the knight nods and stands up.
The Supreme Lion King leaves the tent and walks back to the spot. "We found Dust crates and weapons stolen from the SDC," a knight informed her. "They honestly thought they could take us on with stolen weapons," the knight chuckled.
"But they still manage to kill one of our own!" the Supreme Lion King growls.
"Yes," the knight said sadly, "But we made them pay in blood!"
The Supreme Lion King nods, "And we will continue to make them pay! Not only for our fallen comrade but the Faunus, they say they champion! Tell me! Have they done anything to help the horrid treatment of our fellow Faunus!"
"NO!" the White Knight shouts.
"That's right! They made it worse! They're not saviours! They're criminals who use the plight of the Faunus as an excuse to steal and needlessly kill! We kill because it's the only way to deal with weaklings who poison our world, and once the White Fang is wiped from the face of the world! The SDC is next! The true culprits for all the world's suffering! Once they face justice, we will show the rest of Rement how a true kingdom functions!" the Supreme Lion King shouted and raised her fist.
Her white knights do the same and shout, "All hail the Supreme Lion King! All hail the King of the Faunus! All hail King Shadow Cinder!"
