Opening File: Keanu Grier
Keanu Grier, better known as Da Samurai often misspelled as The Sam-Moo-Rhai or Da Samurai Huntsman is obviously a Huntsman and a member of Team SEKR. He is obviously a samurai wannabee but shows an impressive level of physical strength, speed, agility and sword-fighting skills. Claiming to have been enlightened at a young age Keanu began his training, quickly mastering his own unique sword style while seeking out other skilled fighters to help him improve himself. Despite his obvious show-boating personality Keanu gained a reputation as a skilled warrior and claims to have mastered a few secret technique from even before Aura had been introduced to the rest of the world following the Age of Darkness when the Grimm awoke and spread across the world.
His skill was enough to earn the attention of Scotty Blake, one of the strongest warriors in the entire world who sought him out and convinced him to join a traditional Hunter team. His antics, especially his tendency to brag and dance often annoy Scotty and Extor and he and Rino commonly quarrel but its reached a point where it is generally in good nature and he has shown a willingness to put his life on the line for his friends and allies. He wears outrageous purple and yellow clothes and green, high-tech sunglasses that are very expensive and have a wiper built in. He uses a robotic boombox to herald his arrival along with distracting his enemies and wields a katana he named 'Mama'.

"We all have our flaws. Some are just a little more obvious than others. It's important we work on trying improve those flaws and look past the flaws you see in the people around you. For a person is not defined by their imperfections, they are defined by how they can rise above them to become better no matter how good others might consider them." TOM said as the file closed. "Always remember that when you are out there, meeting new people and seeing the qualities both good and bad in the people you connect with."

In the Hall of Heroes, Lowemon, Kazemon, and Agunimon were at a loss of what to do. On one hand, they had the chance to go home, but on the other, it was just the three of them there at the moment. Agunimon felt bad for Kazemon, but he knew time wasn't on their side. They had to make a choice, but it was looking like a no-win situation for them.
Kazemon had calmed down somewhat, but it wasn't enough. Agunimon was seriously beginning to think something had dragged them here on purpose just to make them suffer. He sighed as he reached up and began to stroke Kazemon's back gently. Lowemon was also thinking the same thing as his leader. Agunimon stood there, running through their options.
He knew they could go home, but they would have to wait for months before they could if they chose to help, but if they didn't help, things could get worse here if they just left.
"It seems like we are in a bad spot, no matter what we choose." Lowemon said at last. "And I don't like it."
"Agreed." Agunimon sighed. "But what else can we do? We can't just go home, and we don't even have the others with us."
"I... I just want to get home..." Kazemon whispered.
Agunimon felt his heart aching at her words and tone of voice. He gently began to stroke her back in a calming manner. "I know... I do too, but... we can't just up and leave..."
"And we get stuck here for how many months?" Kazemon asked as she looked up at the Warrior of Flame.
Agunimon had no answer for that. He just looked away sadly.
"It's not like we have any other options..." Agunimon sighed. "We can't get home if we go and help, and I doubt there is anyone else that can get us home if we choose to help..."
Kazemon turned and buried her head into Agunimon's chest armor. "This is just... I just want to go home... These damn Fallen and everything here... It scares me..."
Agunimon and Lowemon felt the same, and it now showed on their faces clearly.
Lowemon sighed. "We do have the choice, but... as Agunimon mentioned, we can't just leave without the others."
Kazemon sniffed a bit. "That's true..." She pulled her head back from Agunimon's broad chest and looked up at him and Lowemon. "But... even if we get the others here... could we really just leave?"
Lowemon sighed. "I don't know... It would not be a bad thing if we did, but... could we leave? Would it be right to just leave this place? Or would it be wrong?
Kazemon looked down as she laid her head against Agunimon's white chest armor again. "No... It wouldn't be right..."
Agunimon sighed as he hugged Kazemon gently. "Kazemon, Lowemon's right. We can't just leave. We... we have a duty as Legendary Warriors to help others, even if they are not Digimon…"
Kazemon knew he had a point. "I... I know... I just... can we make a difference here? We're just kids..."
"Kazemon… Zoe..." Agunimon whispered. "We... We can get through this, and we get home..." He held her closer to his body in a gentle hug. "But... if we are to get home, we need to get the others back here first. And until we do that, we can't leave. Even if it takes months, we can still get home. We just need to be patient, and do what we can to help."
Kazemon blushed slightly at feeling Agunimon's strong grip around her gently. She buried her face into his chest armor once more. She shook with slight sobs and hiccups, but she knew he had a point. They wouldn't be worthy of being Legendary Warriors if they just up and left when others were in danger.
Thinking about it, the Warrior of Wind realized what Agunimon was trying to tell her was that they couldn't just abandon others, and that included their friends.
She took in a shaky breath before letting it out. Kazemon then looked up at Agunimon and gave a small smile. "You're right. We can't just up and leave. I might not like it, but we have to stay. At least until we can get the others back here with us. Then we can go home."
Agunimon gave a nod, smiling slightly as well. Lowemon walked over and placed a hand on Kazemon's shoulder in a reassuring manner. He was smiling beneath his facemask as well.
Agunimon reached up and brushed aside some loose strands of purple hair from Kazemon's face. "I will see about requesting the three of us sticking together for this mission. If anything, it would be best if we did. If we have to someone else on our team, then I will ask for it to be someone we are familiar with."
Kazemon nodded, smiling a bit more. "That's a good idea."

Down on the street Team SEKR was fighting the army of robots Mars had brought with him but shout from the roof of a nearby building caught Scotty's attention. He glanced up, seeing Mars holding Robin Junior over the edge.
"Keanu, the lass needs backup!" The Scotsman barked at Da Samurai who already sliced two of the giant robots in half with a spinning slash attack.
Keanu then rushed at Scotty. "Give me a lift, man!"
Scotty held out a hand as Keanu jumped at him, his foot landing on the larger man's man. Scotty then threw Keanu with all his might, sending Da Samurai shooting up to the top of the building like a missile.

"I already plan on doing what's right." Raven said, gathering dark energy in her hands.
"... That's a shame..." Said Mars as he let go of the man letting him fall.
But before the heroine could react Mars fired a concussive energy blast at Raven who quickly conjured a shield but the force of the attack still knocked her back. While Raven was fighting the crazed ex-soldier, Keanu landed on the roof and ran over to the spot where Mars was holding Robin Junior over.
"HELP! HELP!" Keanu looked down to see Robin still alive and holding on to the side of the building with his one hand.
Keanu gasped in shock. "His corpse is climbing the building!"
"I'm alive you idiot! Pull me up!" Yelled Robin and Keanu quickly did that.
Raven and Mars continued to fly through the sky struggling with one another, Raven firing bolts of dark energy but Mars simply put up force fields blocking them as he hit back twice as hard. Raven flew in straight at Mars and managed to clock him right in the face, but Mars quickly punched Raven back, grabbed her and flew back down into the ground where they crashed. As the group looked over they saw Mars standing there holding Raven by her neck.
"Let her go you monster!" Scotty shouted, the Celtic runes on his sword glowing.
Mars looked at the Scotsman for a second before tossing Raven away and shot at three members of Team SEKR. As Mars collided with them they were all using their own attack styles and weapons to try and take him down. Rino was smirking as he was bobbing and weaving using his briefcase in its gatling gun mode to attack Mars and jump out of the way of his attacks but Mars managed to smack the former thief away. Extor used his wrist guns to attack him along with Carmen Sandiego who came in and kicked Mars using her incredible skills.
As Mars looked at her, he saw that she was definitely not a member of the Red Caps from the schematics in his helmet. That distracted him long enough as Carmen came at him first, delivering a series of punches and kicks to his armored body but during the fight his suit memorized all her moves and capabilities. He managed to knock her once in the chest, once in the stomach, and finally in the face sending her flying back. Mars didn't want to know what type of power she was hiding while in battle, so he incapacitated her as best as he could so he wouldn't find out.
"Take this gearhead!" Mars looked over to see Scotty charging at him and before Mars' automatic shields could protect him the Scotsman actually managed to get a few hits in.
But as he tried to hit him with his final strikes, he managed to block them and used the shotgun on his wrist to blast the Scotsman away.
"So... Who's ne-"
"You are going to be defeated fiend!" A voice came from above.
Mars looked up in time to see Keanu's feet slam down on his head before Da Samurai jumped off of him, using the armored ex-solider as a springboard and landed a few feet away. "Next time, I am gonna take the stairs instead of just jumping off the building!"
"Just hold him still." Rino said as he aimed his gun and was about to fire, but Mars managed to grab a hold of Keanu and toss him at thief knocking them both down.
He thought he beat them all, that was until he turned his head and saw Scotty running towards him with his sword drawn. "You knocked me down, but I'm NOT OUT!"
The Scotsman managed to slash him across the face and blast fire Dust point blank at Mars' face with a cloud of dust surrounding the Scotsman. Scotty thought he'd finally beaten him, until the dust settled and he saw Mars standing there without even a scratch on his armor.
"Did you really think you could beat me like that? This suit could survive a nuclear blast." Mars stated before tackling Scotty to the ground, holding him down and aiming a plasma blaster at the Scotsman's head.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Raven called out, her dark energy surrounding Mars' suit and lifting him off of Scotty before he could fire.
Scotty then delivered a powerful punch that knocked Mars into a nearby building and possibly through the other side. Mars managed to recover about a few seconds later as he flew several feet in the air above the hunters, as he called his Black Knight Army. Sooner rather than later, dozens of Black Knights and Butchers landed and hovered behind Mars. As the young hunters picked themselves back up they looked at Mars hovering there.
"Well, at least this can't get any worse." Commented Keanu as Mars landed back into the Earth just before his arms spewed out two glowing red bladed whips that originated from his wrists as the bladed whips crackled with energy.
Everyone turned their heads to Keanu.
"You were saying?..." Raven asked.
Immediately the sound of helicopters were heard and everyone looked up, seeing a pair of choppers and from them jumped Sebben, Briggs, Major Glory, Omnimon, Artemis, Superboy, Capital G, White Tiger, Doyle and the three Legendary Warriors. They all landed alongside Team SEKR with Carmen Sandiego quickly getting up and regrouping with them.
And it wasn't just them.
The SWAT Kats flew overhead in the Turbo-Kat, firing missiles that took out a few of Mars' robots in one hit.

"Why am I not surprised that even all the way on the other side of the world we are still cleaning up Feral's mess?" T-Bone asked from the cockpit.
"You got me. I am still wondering how he even still has a job." Razor said as the Turbo-Kat spun around and continued firing on Mars' robot army, causing a few to fly after them and attack. "We got boogies!"
"Hang on!" T-Bone said, taking the Turbo-Kat into the clouds.

Back on the ground Carmen Sandiago could not help but noticed Doyle being present. "Doyle Blackwell? Well this is a surprise."
"Save the reunion for later, Carmen." Doyle threw a quick glare at the former thief. "And we're going to have a talk about that stunt you pulled in Guatemala."
Carmen rolled her eyes but smiled nonetheless.
"What are you waiting for?" Asked Mars as he started to walk forward and flail his bladed energy crackling whips around as his robots followed and the hunters charged into battle.
The forces collided as the heavy hitters such as Major Glory, Scotty, Sebben, Omnimon and Capital G focused their attacks on the army of robots that were enslaved to Mars as they were using Dust, their weapons, teamwork, and skills to tear their way through the robots. All the while the others were focusing their attacks on Mars. But Mars was surprisingly skilled as he used his whips to grab his opponents and toss them around, used them to deflect attacks, used them to try and slice through his enemies, and even thrashed his whips around to create deadly energy waves.
As they were still fighting and Agunimon tried to hit Mars but kicked the Warrior of Fire in the crotch sending him flying back yet again.
Thankfully he wore armor.
Doyle managed to catch him and placed him to the ground. Kazemon noticed this as she hopped out of battle and ran over to them.
"Is he going to be okay?" Asked a worried Kazemon as she placed her hand on Agunimon.
"I think he just got the wind knocked out of him." Doyle answered.
"WHY DID HE KICK ME IN THE NARDS?!" Agunimon yelled.
In the meantime Lowemon slashed his lance at Mars who held his arm, protecting an energy barrier that blocked the attack. He then aimed and fired a plasma blast but Lowemon luckily held his shield in front of him, taking the brunt of the assault.
"Shadow Meteor!" Lowemon shouted, firing his main attack from the lion's chest of his armor.
The blast of dark energy shot at Mars but to everyone's surprise the ex-soldier's energy glowed even brighter red as they slashed the dark warrior's attack to bits, causing them splinter and hit the ground around him and creating a series of smaller explosions.
"We're not getting anywhere attacking him head on." Briggs stated. "We need to find a weakness and fast."
"Good luck finding one."
"I was going to say attack the gem that's in his suit." Keanu suddenly said and everyone suddenly stopped and looked at him.
"What?" Briggs asked.
"Yeah, there's a gem in the chest of his armor that's giving him all that power. And if we destroy it..." Keanu explained.
"He won't be as powerful anymore." Raven finished.
"We'll need a big distraction so someone can jump in and finish him." Extor quickly said as Agunimon jumped back into the fight with Mars.
"Get me an opening and I'll get that gem." Keanu volunteered.
Extor suddenly realized what he had in mind. "Do or Die Strike, huh?"
"You know it."
"What?" Several of the others who were listening asked.
"Never mind. That's not the issue at the moment." Extor glanced between Raven and Lowemon. "I believe you two can provide our distraction."
Mars just knocked back Carmen as Agunimon sped in and tried to pummel Mars with vicious blows, his attacks starting to make dents in Mars' helmet. At least until Mars caught one of Agunimon's incoming blows and held it as he stared at the Warrior of Fire, the red energy from before appeared again around the groves of his suit as he started to slowly tighten his hand around Agunimon's fist. Mars threw him down onto the ground, picked him back up and head-butted him sending him back. Agunimon quickly picked himself back up as he started to burn bright golden with burning red eyes as he dashed back at Mars ready to punch him, but he ran in too fast without thinking as Mars used his bladed whips to create a deep gash in Agunimon's fist, causing him to scream in pain.
He grasped his hand in pain as he fell on his knees, leaving him unprepared for what came next as Mars' foot collided with his face. Before he could fall back Mars grabbed the warrior's hair and pulled him forward and slammed his face in the asphalt. Right before bringing up his foot and viciously stomping on the back of the Warrior of Fire's head.
"Don't touch him!" Mars looked back up to see Kazemon charging at him, her form glowing and changing into Zephyrmon as she slashed at Mars twice before he hit her with the blunt side of his blade sending her back into a building crashing into it.
Mars got back up and wiped the dust from his armor before hearing a voice. "Hurricane Gale!"
Looking up, he watched as Zephyrmon fired a cloud of feathers, sharpened as arrows at him. Aiming his cannons he fired through the swarm and at Zephyrmon who stood her ground. "Plasma Grenade!"
To the utter shock of Mars Zephyrmon slashed through his plasma blasts with her claws and flew straight at him, slamming into him. Mars took advantage of this as he grabbed Zephyrmon by the arms and flew up into the sky.
"You and your friends don't get it do you... This armor is meant to adapt to any opponent, and it will only get stronger because of the gem in my chest..." Said Mars as he charged her crashing into a building.
"Thanks for letting us know!"
Looking down Mars saw the other fighters surrounding Lowemon and Raven for some reason. "Wha-"
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Raven shouted, holding her hands and channeling her dark power into Lowemon.
The Warrior of Darkness let out a gasp as he felt Raven's power increasing his own by an incredible degree. He looked up at his target and let out a shout. "Zephyrmon, get out of the way!"
"Plasma Grenade!" Zephyrmon quickly slashed at Mars' arms, damaging them and flew away.
It was enough of a distraction for Lowemon. "SHADOW METEOR!"
From the lion head of his armor came a massive beam of dark energy that raged towards Mars, as he just now thought he made a big mistake by not moving. The blast hit him as it made a burning whole through the building behind him. A few more second passed as the energy blast finally died down and showed the devastation around them and the giant burning mark that completely went through the building behind Mars and several buildings after that.
"I-I think you got him!" Doyle said as Raven and Lowemon collapsed on their knees from exhaustion.
"Not...Yet..." As all of them looked back at the building with the dust still floating around they saw a figure emerge from the rubble.
"Oh, you have got to be kidding me." Raven groaned as the dust cleared to revealed exactly what she suspected.
Mars stood back up, his armor was vastly burnt and damaged from the attack as it was already repairing itself.
Mars cracked his neck as he looked at the group. "Cute trick, but did you really think that could stop me?"
"Actually no... It was a distraction." Extor said smirking, as Mars' eyes widened in realization.
Just as he said, Keanu who had been right behind everyone took in a deep breath. Suddenly his Aura seemed to flare around him as his muscles seemed to bulge. Suddenly Keanu shot straight at Mars, moving so fast he might have been confused as a lightning bolt. Mars lashed out with his energy tentacles but to his shock Keanu not only dodged them as he came into range he even cut through them when he was right in front of Mars and dug his hand into his chest to grab ahold of what gave him his power.
"This feels pretty important." Keanu said as he tore the gem out of Mars' chest as he stumbled back.
"How did he do that? I've never seen someone move that fast before." Doyle commented.
"There is more to Keanu than he looks or acts. What you saw was the result of another type of technique that can make a person strong without Aura. A special form of breathing technique that increases the flow oxygen to the blood as you breathe. It can boost the natural strength of the body to superhuman levels and when you combine that with Keanu's Semblance it cannot only allow him to detect any movement near him to even dodge or counter it no matter how fast it moves." Extor explained.
"What the matter? Don't have the STONES to face me anymore?" Keanu laughed as suddenly a massive surge of power ran through him.
He then exploded into a massive blast of gold and purple light, blinding everyone for a second. As the light died down a bit they saw Keanu standing there engulfed in a pillar of light matching the color of his light.
"Keanu... Is that, you?" Rino could not help but ask.
"I NEVER FELT MORE ALIVE!" Keanu cheered as he turned to the now mostly depowered Mars. "... Now, you're going down!"
Even though he was still in a powerful was suit meant to survive a direct hit from a nuclear bomb, it was no match for the new greatly empowered might of the Da Samurai as his glowing sword started doing some serious damage to the suit. In just a matter of seconds, the suit was slashed to pieces, leaving Mars on the ground in a torn combat uniform.
"Guess he wasn't that big of a man after all... Now if you'll excuse me, I'm just gonna have a little nighty night..." Keanu said before he fell unconscious face first.

Several military airships arrived to clean up the destruction that was caused during the fight. Soldiers and police tried to help out everyone as best as they could as the destroyed robots of the Blake Knight Army were taken away along with medics who went around and helped anyone they could. The Gem of Sidorak was safely put in a container as it was loaded up on an airship as well for safe keeping. Mars Polemarchos was already out of his war suit and in cuffs as he was being led to an airship while Robin Junior was placed in a police van with a medic tending to his wounded arm.
He looked down in bitterness and anger. Before he entered the airship, he took one last stern look around at all the collateral damaged he caused, and all the people who were injured by the fighting. He stood and stared at the result of his actions hard... He never wanted this.
'I wanted to save you, I just didn't want there to be any more pain, no more criminals, no more misery... I can just hope... I just hope you, can forgive me." Said Mars as he looked up to the sky, referring to the one that he lost.
One of the soldiers grabbed his shoulder and turned him around. Mars continued to look forward with an emotionless expression, using it to hide his true feelings.

"This is ABSOLUTELY unacceptable Feral!" Sebben yelled angrily sitting at his desk with Briggs standing by him as they spoke with Feral who had arrived to help apprehend Mars.
"I swear to you, I have NO IDEA how Mars got a hold of those weapons! He shouldn't have been able to get access to that!" Feral yelled back.
"Well he did! And now look at the result of that! Millions of Technos worth of property damaged, hundreds hurt, and over 40 confirmed deaths!" Briggs yelled, just as angry as Sebben.
"Luckily he was only targeting criminals, but I knew he would come for the Hunters and the Russian military sooner or later... You think you have it bad? All of this is being pinned on me! I already made a public announcement that a rogue soldier got a hold of advanced weapons and attacked GrimmFall, not Russia!" Feral retorted.
"Your amazingly lucky that they decided to give you a second chance, even after what's happened." Sebben said as he took a drink from his coffee cup.
"Security is going to be increase to its max, if there's even the tiniest bit of a threat, it will be tracked down and appropriately taken care of. I promise you, Sebben that I will never let anything like this happen again. I'm going to keep my eyes on everything and tighten security to its absolute max. No criminal or individual with ill intentions, will get the drop on me and my army ever again." Feral promised.
"I wish I could believe that..." Sebben said, turning his chair away from Feral and stared out the window.
Feral stood there for another minute before he spoke one last time. "I'm needed somewhere else. Goodbye."
"Are you sure, it's wise to trust him like that? After what just happened?" Briggs asked, walking up to Sebben once Feral left the office.
"I am not happy about what just happened either Callie, but right now we are facing a threat like no other. We need all the help we can get, but one thing I can say is, people need a symbol of hope, and not a symbol of fear..." Sebben said as he took another sip of his drink.

"So…My boy's under arrest, huh?"
The voice came from a hunchbacked man with an Irish accent in a dark room sitting in front of his desk and turned to look out the window into the night.
"Yes sir. Even the Butcher armor you gave to your elites proves to be no match for the Huntsmen." The advisor said, standing next to the hunchback man.
"The major shipment…Ruined by a couple of teenagers and those annoying Huntsmen and heroes." The frustrated man said as he lit a cigar, breathing out a puff of smoke.
"In defend of the men sir, these were not your average Huntsmen. Obviously they were of the elite variety."
"SO THEN THAT'S A PERFECTLY GOOD EXCUSE FOR THOSE BUGGARS TO LOSE ALL OF OUR VALUABLES AND HAVE MY BOY IMPRISONED!" The smoking man yelled, scaring the advisor.
"Yes sir…But don't worry, with our finances we can get your son out of prison within a day and replace the weapon that were either destroyed or confiscated by the police." The advisor said as the man got up from his seat and walked into the light.
"Well then…If we're having this much trouble with these bloody pests, I guess we'll have to start picking sides."
"Sir?"
"I'm talking about that so-called League of Super Criminals or better yet…Throw our lot in with that so-called Invisible Hand that says they got what it takes to take on Sebben. Then NOTHING will stand in the way of the Red Caps…Or me, Robin Redcap Senior." The man said as he took another puff of his cigar.
The man was grotesque. Only standing around 5'2, hunched back, sharp needle like teeth with a large misshapen nose, pointed nails, a red pointed hat, overweight and near black eyes.
"After that, we'll kill the Satyra…And the rest of those bloody animals."
