Ok with the notes out of the way on with the chapter.
Part 1.
The boy was standing on a building watching a young girl laying on the ground watching the clouds with a smile on her face, she was Ruby Rose he knew that thanks to Lorya who said not to underestimate her or the girl named Frenda Seivelun, but Thor wasn't worried, he knew that none of the girls here could even hope to beat him, especially with this new semblance of his, what Thor came to realize is that in Remnant semblances were based off the person.
Back on earth Thor dedicated his magic to The God of Thunder.
The Norse Mythology God Thor. He was brought to Remnant by himself for whatever reason during his fight with Touma Kamijou in Denmark, so he did not have his true Mjőlnir, but he was able to create a weapon of his own in Remnant.
It was of course called Mjőlnir, it was a golden hammer that could transform into the lance Gungnir, and it worked well with his semblances, Thor actually had two semblances, it should be impossible to have two semblances, but Thor learned that he was special in Remnant.
He some how had left over magical ability in this world, he could not use his magic the same way here, as he did back on earth.
But he could still connect to Remnant's magic, and it was because of his second semblance.
Thor's first semblance which he called Lightning Bolt, this allowed him to call a bolt of lightning from the sky to wherever he pointed his hammer, he could call it directly from the atmosphere at any time, he was also capable of calling the bolt down on himself, and mix the electricity with his aura this greatly increased his speed and strength, and it allowed him cast lightning from his own body as well.
His second semblance he called Remnant Almighty, this allowed Thor to absorb the aura around him into his body, infinitely increasing his strength and speed making him strong enough to move the world, and infinitely faster then the speed of light, but at the cost of his own body he can only keep up this semblance safely for 5 minutes, any longer and he risks doing damage to his own body, this is where magic comes in, if he pushes himself too far he has healing magic, but it is not the only magic he has access to.
However his second form is passive and can only activate when he is in a negative aura state, most people in Remnant lose access to their semblance at zero aura, and are knocked out in a negative aura state, however for Thor when he reaches a negative aura state, he gains access to Remnant's magical energy, with magical energy he can do a number of things, and he can even regain his regular Almighty, as well as his arc blades, but for some reason he can't access magic until his aura is in negative, Thor knows there is a way too beat this, there is some secret to infinitely having access to magic, he just hasn't found it yet.
Magic on Remnant is very different from the magic back on Earth the magic he is use to is something you had to learn, but here it is either given to you or you take it, however there is one other way.
Some people on Remnant are born with a natural connection to magic be it male or female, a person in Remnant human or faunus can have a natural connection to magic, while Thor had not been born on Remnant, yet he somehow had a natural connection to magic, he still didn't understand why and he probably will never get the true answer but he had a theory.
Thor believes that because he basically used his magic back on earth to become the Thunder God Thor, and he was close to magic god power, he was recognized by Remnant as a magical figure, it was a far fetched theory but at the moment it was all he had.
Thor sat on the building watching Ruby Rose as he patiently waited for the right moment to strike, he was given the task of testing their strength he knew one of them was The #1 strongest esper in Academy City Accelerator, he had heard Accelerator was easily capable of destroying the planet, but he didn't know what Accelerator's power was, according to the information the old Gremlin got on Academy City a while back just after WW3. Accelerator was Aleister's main plan, and apparently no esper in the city even came close to him.
Thor was exited to fight him, he was told not to engage with Accelerator, Lorya seemed truly frightened of the power the boy held, but she hasn't seen true power.
Thor is one of the few that has witnessed the power of the magic god Othinus, who could end the universe in a second if she wanted, he modeled the second part of his weapon after the weapon Othinus had, before she was defeated by Touma Kamijou.
Gungnir, Othinus and Touma where on their way to remove Othinus's magic god power, when Thor intercepted them and during his fight with the Imagine Breaker, he was some how transported to Vacuo on Remnant, along with that annoying level 5 girl that ended up also hunting Touma down, when the heroic boy was literally battling the whole world for Othinus.
The lance Gungnir did not work like the real lance, the one Othinus had before, but he was able to use the technology of this world to create a homing like device for it, and he used gravity dust and force dust fillling that with his over massively powerful aura, he can create a powerful explosion with all three components capable of leveling an entire kingdom.
While he couldn't destroy the universe or multiverse like Othinus with it, he could take it to a kingdom level point probably a planet level point, if he really pushed his aura. With his homing device and his own aura, the lance can never miss his target, and destroy a city easily, it was like he was carrying around his own personal nuke, it could go further if he puts more power into it but he doesn't need too.
Thor sat watching a little bored now, as another girl came out she long blonde hair and purple eyes, Thor knew her as well her name was Yang Xiao long. Ruby Roses older sister, Lorya didn't seem to know that much about her, so he barely knew that much about Yang, but it didn't matter.
Part 2.
Ruby Rose was laying down smiling at the clouds, and why shouldn't she be she not only learned the her long lost love Frenda Seivelun was alive, but now she was her girlfriend, and last night Frenda decided to take Ruby too a private room, and show Ruby one of the amazing things girlfriend's do, and it made Ruby feel so good physically and mentally, and Frenda was very good in bed, it was the first time Ruby had ever experienced such a great feeling in her life, and it is not like Ruby didn't know about sex, she just never liked anyone enough to want to try it with them besides Frenda Seivelun.
She is the only person Ruby wants to have sex with, and she was so happy it finally happened, infact Ruby never even thought of sex until a bit after she met Frenda Seivelun, it was it was only about a month before Ruby's fourteenth birthday that Frenda first showed up in that snowy forest, as the year went on and especially at Beacon, Ruby started looking at Frenda in a romantic way, through out Beacon she had romantic feelings for the girl that she didn't understand yet for a while, then after the dance it all became so clear, to her that she was in love with Frenda, but for some stupid reason she could never tell her, and then after Beacon tower Ruby thought she would never get the chance.
But then the girl walked through that door yesterday and kissed her, and everything changed, it was so amazing then it only got better in private later that night.
Ruby still felt a tingle in her nether regions from Frenda's fingers, and the viborator she used afterwards, Frenda said next time they will use a strap-on.
However sex aside, Frenda had told her something else last night as well, and Ruby still couldn't believe that Frenda was from another world called Earth, she found it to be a funny name considering the planet was named after ground, and she and Frenda had a nice laugh about that when Ruby pointed it out, then Frenda had pointed out that a name like Remnant wasn't much better, and they laughed more.
Ruby also noticed that laughing made the sex feel better at times as well, Frenda had told her that Accelerator and Last Order were from Earth as well, and that all three of them were from a place called Academy City, it was pretty much just like Last Order had been saying.
Frenda told Ruby that their were two sides to Academy City, a light side and a dark side, she said that she was a member of the dark side, this side of the city was well hidden from the light side, and mainly dealt in criminal organizations and illegal scientific experiments, she explained how espers worked Ruby saw espers like huntsmen and huntress's but on a larger scale.
Some of them were much more powerful then even a veteran huntsman or huntress, and she learned about how esper abilities range in power from level 0 to level 5, level 0's being the weakest with normally little to no power, and level 5's the strongest with the power to solo a military army once again just like Last Order had said.
Frenda had told her she was a level 0 back in Academy City, and that thanks to aura control, and training, she just recently discovered a few days ago, that she was actually a level 3 now, and thought she was a lower level because of her lack of ability use but apparently aura still increased an esper's ability regardless of ability use. She said she worked with a dark side group called Item, a group she once before told Ruby and all the rest of their friends was her old team, and that hadn't been a lie she just left out a lot of details about what Item was.
Frenda said that Item's leader Shizuri Mugino the 4th ranked level 5 in Academy City, started to lose it and eventually ended up killing Frenda, right before Frenda showed up in Remnant, she told Ruby that Mugino use to really care about her teammates in the past, and that the pressure of Academy City's darkness, finally pushed her over the edge she began not to care for her teammates health anymore, and began to get crazier and crazier overtime until she finally lost her mind.
Frenda told her she knew that it was exactly what the higher ups in Academy City wanted to happen, Ruby got pissed when she heard that the city was treating their students like pets or tools, it made want to give a good punch to who ever was in control of the city.
Frenda had also told her that the only reason she gave up Item's base of operations to Tetikou Kakine which Ruby learned is Dark Matter, was because of a girl named Kaibi Gokusai who has an ability called Heart Measure, which allowed the girl to shrink the emotional distance between her and the person she used it on.
Frenda was tough and at first didn't easily give up the location, but Kaibi finally got it by shrinking their emotional distance down to lovers, and for good messure threatened to kill her little sister Fremea, and her girlfriend Saten apparently at that time Frenda had a girlfriend named Ruiko Saten, who she eventually told about Item and her underworld work, and apparently one time also invited her to Item's base when no one was there once as well, she was Frenda's first love, and first time, and the girl that made Frenda realize she liked girls.
Ruby was also angry when she learned that Kaibi had forcefully made out with Frenda, to increase the intensity of her power on Frenda, after this Frenda had given up the location of Item's base to School, and when Shizuri Mugino had learned of this she killed Frenda for betraying Item.
Frenda Seivelun actually didn't understand how she was alive in this world, she explained that she was literally cut in half by one of Mugino's meltdowner beams, and she felt her self die in that cold alley, but then she woke up in Remnant some how Remnant brought her back to life.
Ruby's thoughts were interrupted when her older sister Yang came outside, "Your up early." Yang said, then began waving her long hair around in Ruby's face as Ruby laughed, and pushed her sister's hair away from her face, "couldn't sleep?" Yang asked, then Weiss came out with 3 coffee's mugs on a tray. "Well fortunately coffee exists."
Weiss said then walked out and began giving coffee to them when she got to Ruby, Ruby lifted her hands up in in front of her face. "No please." Ruby said. She never liked coffee not unless it had so much sugar and cream that it tasted like candy, and got rid of all the bitter taste, and fortunately Weiss was more then aware of this fact about the scythe wielder.
"Don't worry I put in blasphemous amounts of cream and sugar just for you." Weiss went to hand the overly sweet coffee to Ruby. "Oh yeah! nice Weiss strikes again!" Ruby said as she reached for the coffee mug, but then Weiss pulled it back. "I will pour this on you and it will burn." Weiss stated, as she was getting pretty sick of Ruby calling her nice Weiss.
She was doing it all last night while they were eating dinner, Ruby smiled and giggled a bit, as she accepted the cup of instant diabetes from Weiss, she could see the small smile Weiss was trying to hide, as she handed Ruby the coffee, showing that she was not really serious about her threat of drenching Ruby in hot coffee.
Weiss sat down next to Ruby who was drowning herself with her coffee, as she swallowed it in seconds, it really didn't taste like coffee anymore, it was like hot liquid candy now, and Ruby could tell that Weiss even put chocolate syrup and caramel in it as well as a ton of marshmallows, Weiss knew exactly what her best friend liked when it came to coffee.
"I can't believe we're really in Mistral." Yang said as Ruby finished her cup of instant diabetes.
"That's what you can't believe?" Ruby asked in disbelief, that Yang chose the fact they were in Mistral over the magic and the boy with two souls, Ruby wasn't sure if Weiss and Yang knew anything about Academy City, but Frenda asked her to keep it a secret, so she wasn't going to mention it out of respect for her girlfriend's request, besides she was sure Frenda will tell them eventually, or maybe Accelerator will tell Weiss.
Ruby knew that Accelerator was the strongest esper in Academy City, the unbeatable #1 level 5, the one way road, the main plan, the manipulator of vectors, Aleister's main plan.
There were a lot of names Frenda had called him, from what she said Item got all this information from when Shizuri Mugino got her hands on some files from something called project level 6 shift, she wouldn't tell Ruby the details of the project, but apparently it was ment to shift Accelerator from level 5 to level 6 which she explained was supposed to be impossible to reach, but apparently Accelerator was the only esper that could become a stable level 6, which Frenda explained was like becoming a god.
Ruby had a really hard time understanding esper abilities and personal reality, but from what she said if Accelerator was able to push his personal reality beyond the laws of the universe or multiverse, that they now knew existed he would unlock SYSTEM,which is achieving level 6, or also known as becoming an Absolute Esper, from what Frenda did say about the project was that Accelerator was supposed to achieve this by winning 20,000 battle scenarios, apparently Accelerator was only able to complete 10,031, of these scenarios before the project was abandoned, for reasons even Frenda didn't know.
Apparently there were a lot of rumors of why Accelerator no longer did the project, to Frenda most of them were really far fetched, and sounded completely made up, one said that Accelerator simply quit and no longer wanted to do the project, another said that the company lost it's equipment to keep producing the product that was being used in the project, do to the #3 level 5, Railgun destroying all the facilities the project was using.
She explained her team was once hired to stop Railgun from destroying the facilities that hosted the project, however that ended in defeat, and Frenda was blamed for it, because she had accidentally left all her bombs and traps in the facility, and took off without cleaning them up.
But Frenda told Ruby in all honesty that the real reason Mugino lost, was because Railgun was stronger, and because of the teleporter she had with her, Kuroko Shirai, both she, and Mikoto Misaka became friends with Frenda later, this let Frenda see Mikoto go all out a few times, the truth was Railgun was stronger than Meltdowner, but Shizuri Mugino has too much pride to admit that Railgun is more powerful then her, but nonetheless Frenda was punished for her failure.
The last rumor Frenda had heard was one that Frenda believed to be the most outlandish, and impossible one, this one claimed that the project was stopped by a level 0 who was able to somehow beat Accelerator in a fight making the scientists in charge of the project, believe that Accelerator was not as strong as they believed he was since he lost a fight to a level 0, and they shut down the project believing it to be a waste of time, and that it wouldn't work.
After this rumor surfaced many believed they could claim the title of Academy City's top dog, and tried to fight Accelerator this resulted in the hospital's getting filled up with people who were missing limbs, if they weren't killed.
Ruby had grimaced at the sound of Accelerator's brutality when Frenda told her this, it was also why Frenda didn't believe the whole Accelerator was defeated by a level 0 thing, and Ruby didn't believe it either by the sounds of it Accelerator was very very powerful, and it sounded impossible for him to lose against someone who had no power.
According to Frenda there was no possible way a level 0 could win against a level 5, however she had said that there was a rumor that went around the light side, and the dark side of the city of a level 0 with the ability to negate esper abilities, but Frenda debunked this as she said that rumor definitely wasn't true, as no ability like that existed in the city.
Ruby and Frenda went for a bit playing a game of exchanging theories on what happened to that project, at some point she told Ruby about one of her old teammates Saiai Kinuhata, and the Dark May project, which was a project that also involved Accelerator from what Frenda explained about it, Academy City was trying to duplicate Accelerator's personal reality, by giving over 50 children Accelerator's thought patterns.
Which ended up having a negative effect, many of the children died from the project, and out of the few survivors only three, were able to produce any accurate results of Accelerator's ability, no one knew what happened to the third one, but the two she knew, was her teammate Saiai Kinuhata, and a girl named Umidori Kuroyoru.
Kinuhata had an ability called Offense Armor, which was kind of like a weaker version of Accelerator's vector reflection shield, and his ability to manipulate kinetic energy, Umidori had something called Bomber Lance, which which was ment to copy Accelerator's wind control, of course it was much weaker and nothing like his vector manipulation power.
Frenda had told Ruby that she actually missed Kinuhata, as they were closest to each other on Item.
Ruby was pulled from her thoughts, at some point Weiss and Yang started talking about Blake, and Yang was getting upset, Ruby was able to defuse the situation, but to her displeasure Yang brought it to something else, something Ruby wanted to stay away from.
"Well on other notes, how was your night with Frenda last night Ruby?" Yang asked with a sly smile on her face. "W- w-what d-do youmeanIdidn'tdoanythinglastnightwhatareyoutalkingabout." Yang just laughed. "Sis my room was right next to your's, I could hear you two, and you moan very loud." Yang explained with a laugh.
Weiss just had a huge blush on her face listening, and wanted the topic to change.
"So how was it I mean I know it was obviously good, from you're high pitched moaning... but I mean like how was Frenda's technique?" Yang asked as she fished for more details on Ruby's first time.
Ruby was as red as tomato her sister heard her and Frenda having sex last night, she didn't know what she was supposed say, but as luck would have it her best friend came to her rescue.
"Yang that's enough... look at Ruby she looks like her head is about to explode! You should have respect for your sister's privacy, what Frenda and her do in private is none of our business." Weiss stated.
"Okay, okay, I was just teasing, to tell you the truth I am really happy for you Ruby, and I had been waiting a long time for you two to get together, I mean the signs were so obvious back at Beacon, everyone knew you to liked each other." Yang said then continued.
"And I know that Frenda will take good care of you, she can be a bit, "Sadistic" at times, but I know she means well and will never hurt you." Yang finished.
But then Yang just wanted to know one more thing. "But I have to know one thing, is Frenda a sadist in the bedroom?" Yang asked since back at Beacon she made a bet with Nora that Frenda was a sadistic, and most likely dominate lover.
Ruby blushed even more but didn't say anything, however Ruby's blush increasing was all the conformation she needed. "Yes Nora owes me 100 lien." Yang celebrated. "Wait! You made a bet with Nora about me and Frenda!?" Ruby asked a little upset. "Frenda and I." Weiss corrected.
Ruby simply ignored Weiss trying to get her to use proper grammar, if looks could kill Yang would be a pool of blood right now. "I can't believe you!" Ruby said. Then she began punching Yang in the shoulder, and Yang just laughed as she and Ruby wrestled around on the ground for a bit, before they eventually separated.
"Enough you two!" Weiss said. As the two girls separated and sat back down Last Order came out. "Big sis Ruby, Accelerator and Misaka are going into the city for some yummy food, did you want Misaka to bring you back anything? asks Misaka Misaka since she thought it would be rude not to offer her big sis anything." Last Order said as she hugged Ruby.
"Oh maybe some cookies." Ruby said knowing, Last Order would not take no for an answer. "Okay Misaka will bring you cookies, says Misaka Misaka as she then runs to go back to Accelerator, but then she stops, and turns back to big sis Ruby, to ask what kind of cookies you would like?" Last Order asked, when she stopped just before the door.
"Chocolate chip are my favorite but any kind but raisin will do." Ruby said. Last Order runs off with happy laughter as she goes back in the house then they hear Accelerator's voice. "Slow down brat!" Weiss listen to Accelerator's voice and just couldn't understand what made her so intrested in him? He was a jerk to everyone, and yet for some reason she felt like her meeting him was supposed to happen, like it was destiny but she just didn't get why, is it a punishment? Is she being punished by the universe by being attracted to such a dickbag?
"So what is the deal with that Accelerator guy anyway?" Yang asked, she didn't really know anything about Accelerator, other then that he was incredibly powerful. "Well." Weiss began. "He's an asshole... and that's about it." Weiss finished.
Then she looked down for moment and sighed. "I mean I don't really know what he is, just when I think were making progress, and he is opening up to me getting to know each other, he starts acting like a dick again." Weiss said.
"He was hired as my bodyguard to Mistral, which means he will probably leave soon considering he has already completed his job." Weiss said with a bit of sadness in her voice, but she was right, now that she was safely in Mistral his job was complete. Accelerator had no reason to stick around anymore, he could leave at any moment.
"So he's your bodyguard huh?" Yang asked with a bit of wonder. "Yeah he has the highest reputation in Atlas, as the best bodyguard. So my butler Klein hired him for me to ensure my safety too Mistral, and he has done an excellent job I have to admit, but he is just so cold and distant like, Blake but a hundred times worse." Weiss stated.
Ruby listen to Weiss's words, but didn't blame Accelerator for his behavior not after what Frenda told her what Academy City's dark side experiments were like, most of them sounded horrible and inhumane, she knew from Frenda that Accelerator was deep in Academy City's darkness, so that would probably explain his attitude and personality.
"Well maybe he has had to deal with a lot like Blake did, we don't know what his life was like." Ruby said. Yang then spoke up. "That may be true... but that still doesn't excuse-"
Yang was cut off when a boy with long blonde hair literally appeared infront of them out of nowhere.
Ruby, Weiss, and Yang jumped up and pulled out their weapons, his entrance left a large crater around him, and shook the ground, this caused everyone inside to come running outside, Nora, Jaune, Ren, Oscar, Frenda, Qrow, Leivinia, Lessar, and Carissa all came running out to see the commotion, they were all greeted by a boy with long blonde hair that went all the way down his back, he almost looked like a girl.
"Who are you!?" Nora asked the boy however Leivinia, Carissa and Lessar recognized him right away, he was in charge of combat and conflict, in the organization known as Gremlin, that was run by the magic god Othinus, he then gave a mocking bow, "The name is Thor, and I am in charge of combat operations... in Grimmlin." Thor said with pride.
Leivinia's heart almost stopped when she heard the name Gremlin, Leivinia knew that, the spell Aleister used for whatever reason, that put portals throughout the world on Earth in different times periods, means this Thor could be from a time when Othinus was still a magic god.
(No way if Thor mentioned Gremlin then does that mean Othinus is here? Is there currently a magic god in Remnant? and no Imagine Breaker, or World Rejector? There is Accelerator but I don't think any of the level 5's could be a threat to Othinus, and we don't have Olerus either, we would never beat Othinus here, if she did come to Remnant, then all hope is lost without the Imagine Breaker or World Rejector or Olerus.)
Leivinia's worries were immediately put to rest with Thor's next words however. "Well, the new Gremlin, called Grimmlin I know, it's confusing... Lorya wanted me to test your strength... I wasn't supposed to tell you that, but hey I am a pretty honest guy... so, I see no harm in telling you why I'm here." Thor explained.
Ruby, Yang, Jaune, Nora, and Ren did a double take at the name Lorya being mentioned, they remembered the way she pretended to be their friend only to try and lead them to their deaths. "Well ladies, why don't we skip the small talk, and get right to the part where we fight." Thor said then he pulled out a golden hammer, and called down a bolt lightning from the sky that covered him in electricity, and his weapon. "Let's get this started." Thor smiled.
Part 3.
Cinder was shocked to see the state of Raven Branwen's camp, the gate was destroyed, the tents were ripped up, trees were ripped out of the ground some trees were completely destroyed, there was ginormous crack that ran along the ground throughout the whole camp, it splits off into many other large cracks as well.
"Holy shit it looks like there was an earthquake or something." Emerald said. "Yeah, or an earthquake and a tornado." Mercury said. Cinder, Emerald, Mercury, Kakine and Dr Watts all walked through the completely destroyed gate, as they walked in the camp Kakine took a look around and spoke under his breath.
"This, I know exactly who caused this, all this destruction was definitely Accelerator's doing, so he's been here huh?" Kakine said, to himself but it was heard by Cinder, who then turned towards Kakine, "Your sure this was caused by one boy?" Cinder asked in disbelief that all this destruction was done by one person, with only a semblance.
"Yeah this was him, and doubt he even broke a sweat doing this, I warned you that Accelerator was powerful, that is why he is currently #1 and I am #2, but I plan to change that.
Emerald, Mercury and Watts were confused at why Kakine spoke like that, but Cinder knew what he was talking about, he told her about a project in Atlas ment to make semblances stronger, called project level 5 where an illegal group of scientists did experiments on children, he said that out of all the kids they did experiments on, only 7 of them became level 5 apparently the project was meant to be disguised as a school.
Cinder actually found that disgusting, to trick children into believing that they were going to a school, but then really just conducting dangerous scientific experiments on them, to try and make a new kind of semblance based on something called a personal reality which Cinder still had trouble understanding, apparently the experiments also greatly increased the children's intelligence as well, apparently the level 5's were Attack Crash, Mental Out, Meltdowner, Railgun, Dark Matter, and Accelerator.
When Cinder asked him about the #6 he told her that the scientists kept them away from the rest, and that they eventually broke out of the lab/school, and became a vigilante, he didn't know their gender, or their semblance he only knew that, whoever they were they went by the name Aihana Etsu, but he said that could just be an alias, however when he said this Cinder remembered that name.
Before back when she was still recruiting her team, a little bit after she and Lorya recruited Emerald, she was going to recruit a very popular bounty hunter named Zane, but discovered that Zane and all his comrades had been murdered, by an Aihana Etsu, Cinder remembered the man that told her, called him Dark Sides Bane.
Then there was the time when Cinder hacked into Amata Kihara's computer, and found that he was tracking a bunch of people across Remnant, with something he called, the Vibrational Frequency Tracking System, or the VFTS, Aihana Etsu was on that list, the strange thing is, that there were three Aihana Etsu's on that list if she remembered correctly, at one point Cinder and Lorya went looking for Aihana Etsu, but it only led them to different people each time.
Kakine had said that the scientists created groups of people with powerful semblances, and sent them on illegal underworld missions, and that some of these groups had level 5's in them the group names he knew were, School, Item, Member,Block, Study, and Group, Cinder thought the names were really dumb, apparently Kakine was the leader of School, the #4 Meltdowner was the leader of Item, and Accelerator was part of Group, he also said that there was one more called Dragon.
But no one had any information on Dragon, or who it's members were or even who it's leader was, it was a very well hidden group that was hidden by the scientists, he did say that unlike the other groups Dragon was directly connected with board of directors, who Kakine claimed ran all the project, and all the experiments that were part of it, Kakine also said that Amata Kihara, and the rest of the Kihara family were part of many of these underworld illegal experiments, conducted by this "academy," Cinder already didn't like Amata but now she hated him even more.
Cinder had spent her whole childhood being manipulated, and abused. First by a orphanage she was in, and then by a foster family that adopted her, to become their slave, a little bit after she was adopted, she was brought to a hotel where she now had a step mother, and two older step sisters who all treated her like garbage.
She remembered how they barely fed her, then made her do all the chores and basically run the hotel for them, then forced her to do all kinds of personal things for them as well, like shining their shoes, or rubbing their feet, or giving them baths, or even brushing their teeth for them, which Cinder especially hated doing for her step sisters, because while her step mother who she was only supposed to call Madam, spit her tooth paste in the sink when Cinder brushed her teeth for her every morning.
Her step sisters decided to use Cinder's face as their spittoon when she brushed their teeth, truthfully her step sisters were much worse then her step mother, they would trip her almost every time she passed them, especially if she was carrying a huge load of breakable dishes, or on the stairs, they would hide her cleaning utensils, so she would have to clean stuff with her bare hands, and of course they would purposefully track more dirt in when she was cleaning the floor, or they would spit on the floor over and over again, or drop stuff on it, while she was trying to clean it, they would always break or steal any gifts she got from the hotel guests, and steal any and all her tips, that were left for her by the hotel guests.
Cinder was only given scraps to eat like moldy stale bread, or moldy cheese, or pretty much any that was already expired, but her step sisters would play a prank on her as they claimed, but of course it was just more bullying, they would throw Cinder's food away before she was able to eat it, and then wait until the end of the day then they would give Cinder a big bowl of the nastiest stuff they could find to eat, it would be filled with moldy food all mashed into a slimy mush and then they would put anything they could find, she once found a dead rat in it, and one time a used condom, they found in one of the used rooms and they would add very spicy hot sauce in it, since they knew at that age which Cinder was only ten years old at the time, was too hot for her, and she would usually cry from eating it.
And they would always add their own saliva as the topping to her bowl of nightmares, and Cinder was only allowed to drink lukewarm water, she was never aloud to have sodas or juice she could sometimes sneak those things, but when ever she got caught she would get severely punished.
Madam kept a necklace around Cinder's neck, that had electricity dust in it, and she would use it to shock Cinder as a punishment, or sometimes if she just felt like turning it on for the fun of it, but if Cinder was caught stealing any real food, or juice, or soda then, Madam would leave on the necklace until she passed out from the pain.
The thing Cinder hated the most when it came to her step sisters though, it was that they would force Cinder to feed them very good smelling food when they knew she was basically starving, and of course she wasn't allowed to eat any of it, not even the left overs which they forced her to throw in the trash they would sometimes leave a bunch of food on the plates just to fuck with her, and tease her about how good it tasted, or how full they were.
There was just one time they gave her a full big piece of cake, but not without making her eat it off the floor, and of course stepping on it, then making her thank them for it, but she didn't care that it was covered in dirt from their shoes, the vanilla cake with thick buttery frosting, and chocolate shavings tasted better then anything else Cinder ever got to eat in that place, she didn't even care that she had to lick the leftover icing off their shoes.
That night Cinder actually went to bed with a full stomach, a few months later Cinder discovered her semblance, and met a man named Rhodes, who trained her over the years for the huntress exams, but as her step sisters got older they got worse.
when she was fourteen years old and they were seventeen years old, they began forcing her into prostitution, for any men or women that showed any sexual interest in her in the hotel, or on the street, and of course they kept all the money, this was how Cinder ended up with this one woman a few times, who taught her the joys of bdsm, the dominatrix woman would pay for Cinder weekly, and first trained her as a submissive, but then later eventually also trained her on how to be a dominant, and Cinder really enjoyed being dominant more then being dominated.
The woman told Cinder that she knew from when she first met her, that she knew Cinder was ment to be a dominant not submissive, but that it was important for a true domina to know the submissive side, before switching to the domme side of things.
Then a year later, and a few months after Cinder's fifteenth birthday, which of course was never celebrated by her step family.
Rohdes returned to finish her training, she was only a few years away from when she could take the huntress exams, however this would not come to be, because about sixteen days after that Cinder's step sisters found her swords, then they told Madam about it, and when Madam came to confront Cinder along with her step sisters, she used her remote activating Cinder's electric necklace.
But thanks to Cinder's training, she was able to fight the pain, and murdered her step mother and step sisters, Rhodes had then entered the room, and he and Cinder did battle as Rhodes tried to apprehend her, this however resulted in his death.
Cinder tore the necklace from her neck and fled town, she left Atlas because she knew the police would be looking for her when the bodies were discovered.
Cinder hid herself in Mantle for a few years, before she was discovered by law enforcement and had to run again.
She used the money she took from her dead step family's safe, to get a airship to Vacuo while she was there Cinder joined a criminal group, in that group she met two women she couldn't stand one was a blonde haired girl that liked to wear her hair in twin tails, and always wore gothic style outfits.
Her name was Lorya she was about twenty one years old at the time, just two years older than Cinder was, and the other was a girl with long tea colored hair, named Shizuri who was about nineteen when Cinder first met her, Cinder would have been the youngest in the group, if not for a girl named Umidori who at the time was only eleven, soon to be twelve years old, but had a kick ass semblance and is why she was in the group.
As for Shizuri she only ever went on solo missions, so Cinder never got to see what her semblance was, Shizuri didn't trust any of them, she would hide her semblance, and hid the fact that she had a mechanical arm, and eye she would cover it up with special makeup, Cinder once saw her applying the make up that was how she found out.
About a year later Cinder went with Lorya on a mission where they were supposed to assassinate, a high ranking general in the Vacuo theif organization, Cinder and Lorya successfully killed the man but then they found out he was planning to rob some person, in a place called the Grimm Lands, after they completed the mission they kept the mans map, and thought why not take his score.
Apparently this place had a vault room filled with gold and jewels, so only a week after that Cinder and Lorya set out to head to the Grimm Lands when they got there they found it was full of different Grimm, just like the name suggested, and they had quite a few battles, after a while they got to a large castle it was very out of place.
It looked like a huge mansion with tons of windows and doors, they snuck in through the garden, and made their way through the castle, when they got to the vault room with out being caught by maids or other staff, and Cinder and Lorya both kept their emotions in check as to not attract the Grimm, that were roaming the halls for some reason.
Honestly Cinder had never seen Grimm indoors before, especially ones this calm what kind of person lived with Grimm? Cinder had thought, as she and Lorya began stuffing the bags they brought with them, with as much gold and jewels they could carry each of their bags was an easy 8,000,000 lien, they were rich the whole vault was at least 100,000,000,000 lein, maybe even more.
Cinder wished she could have full access to that vault, but she would settle for her eight million, Cinder and Lorya quickly and quietly headed towards the exit when the door slammed open, and then somehow Cinder and Lorya were both pinned to the wall with telekinesis.
The woman that came in the room was a pale white with black lines running through her body, Cinder had never seen a person like this before, she looked like a Grimm, but a humanoid Grimm, first the woman had congratulated them for actually getting into her vault, she told them that she already knew they were in her castle the whole time, and she just wanted to know how far they would get.
She was impressed that they snuck past all her maids, her two subordinates, and even all her Grimm.
The woman told them her name was Salem, and she was the queen of Grimm, and she was intrested in them first she told them they would have full access to her vault, for whatever they needed to pay for, and then she promised power greater then they could imagine.
However there was a catch Salem only needed one of them for the maidens vessel, Salem turned it into a series of trials the person who was victorious would be chosen, and the other could still be part of Salem's empire but they would be a much lower ranking member, meaning they wouldn't have access to Salem's vault, and they would not get the magical training or they were free to leave if they chose.
It was close but over the next two months Cinder and Lorya did many challenges for Salem, and they were neck and neck, so Salem said that whoever one in a spar would be the one chosen the fight came close, but ultimately Cinder was eventually victorious, Cinder knew of Lorya's semblance, and made sure she avoided that, or she may have lost.
Then Salem awarded Cinder with the magical knowledge, and access to the money as for Lorya Salem offered her a spot in her league, Lorya accepted claiming that Salem made a mistake with Cinder, and that she will prove she was the better choice for the maidens, and get Salem to take the power from Cinder and give it too her.
Salem then gave them their first mission, they were to intercept a Atlas military transport and free the prisoner known as Tyrian Callows, a serial killer that Salem believed would be beneficial to her plan, Cinder and Lorya had a hard time getting along when they were out of combat, especially after Cinder was the one chosen for the maidens powers, but in a fight they were basically the perfect team, as they made quick work of the guards and easily freed Tyrian Callows, and brought him back to Salem as she requested.
Salem was impressed with both of the girls as for Tyrian, both Cinder and Lorya didn't like him at all, he immediately treated Salem like goddess and treated them like they were pieces of meat, he could fuck or something, or maybe even actually eat Cinder really wasn't sure, and she actually didn't put it passed him to be a cannibal.
Salem had already had two members when Cinder and Lorya joined, a doctor named, Arthur Watts and a really big man named Hazel, and now she had to deal with this Psycho, who is no doubt a cannibal and probably a pedophile, at least that is what Cinder felt.
After a few more months of training Salem gave Cinder a Grimm that was inside of her, and it was what would allow her to take the maidens powers, Cinder knew she couldn't do this alone, she had Lorya but she needed more, Salem had given Cinder full freedom to recruit who she wished, as one of her perks as a very high ranking member of her league, and being a very important piece on the board of the game of chess, that Salem and Ozma have been playing for many centuries.
Cinder had heard of a thief who the cops could never catch from the reports, it always claimed that she was able to steal right in front of people and the police would always end up going the wrong way, or seeing things that weren't there, Cinder deduced that she had a semblance that could manipulate the mind, or create optical illusions, or something of that matter.
Cinder found the girl who fit the description, and followed her into a jewelry store, while Lorya stayed close by on the outside.
The girl walked right up to the counter and simply grabbed a diamond ring right out of the case, the store clerk didn't see her take it, even though he appeared to be looking right at her. However a woman in the back of the store noticed, and called her out.
Cinder had figured this happened because she could only use her semblance on one person at a time, she quickly fled and Cinder gave chase when she got to the back alley, she found that the girl ran into Lorya, and she tried to fight with her two green sickles, but Lorya quickly took her down hand to hand.
Cinder walked over too her as Lorya was holding the girl to the ground with a boot on her back, Cinder told Lorya to let her up as the girl stood up, and after a short conversation, Cinder and Lorya learned that the girl's name was Emerald, and her semblance was basically what Cinder thought it was.
Later Cinder, Lorya and Emerald went to a place where there was a man named Zane who was a world renowned bounty hunter, and Cinder was going to recruit him, or so she thought, they walked into what looked like a slaughter house, there were bodies everywhere and blood all over the place.
they found Zane and his body was opened up, it looked like something had jumped out of his body or something, then a man who was still alive came out of a near by closet, he was covered in blood and was severely injured and was most likely going to die, the man was missing an eye and and half his nose and an arm, as well as most of his insides were visible.
Emerald finally couldn't take anymore and vomited in the corner of the room, Cinder figured she was going to have to strengthen Emerald's stomach soon, she was sure this will not be the last gruesome scene, that they would find in the line of work they were in.
The man fell to the ground and Cinder used the short time the man would be alive to ask him what happened, the man just said that it was Dark Sides Bane, Aihana Etsu, the man died before he could tell them anything more so all Cinder got was the name Aihana Etsu, which wasn't much, but if that person could do all this, then that was not a person that she wanted to meet anytime soon.
Cinder decided to go after her next recruit Marcus Black a well known assassin, Cinder, Lorya, and Emerald went to the location they got from Junior, which was an old cabin in the mountains, however when they got there they found a fight between Marcus, and a boy who looked very much like him.
Cinder assumed that he was Marcus Black's son, they watched from the treeline as the boy finally killed his father, at this point Cinder decided to make herself known, they walked up to the boy and after a short conversation Cinder found her hypotheses to be true.
The boys name was Mercury Black, and he was trained by his father in the arts of Murder, Cinder decided to recruit Mercury since Marcus was now dead. A few weeks afterwards Cinder had tried to get the Help of the White Fang, but the leader of the Vale unit Adam Taurus, had turned her away since she was human.
But Cinder didn't mind this at the moment, since she was more focused on finding information on the fall maiden, Mercury suggested asking the rats of the city, the people who work in the criminal underworld, after a bit of a search Cinder learned about a girl with pink and brown hair, and pink and brown eyes which could change colors from Junior's men at his club, she sometimes comes in the club with another girl in a pink dress.
Cinder and her crew were able to get it out of the men, where the girls favorite icecream parlor was, Salem's vault really came in handy she could pay for any information she needed, money was no longer an object, Cinder had a criminal bank account, that currently held over 75,000,000 lien and she could easily refill it if it ever ran out.
They went to the parlor and waited for the girl that she learned was called Neo to show up, it took a few days of returning to the same parlor over and over again, to stake it out finally one day, after about a week and a half of stakeouts, two girls entered the parlor one had long pink and brown hair, and the other had blonde hair in a fancy style.
Cinder, and her crew followed them into the icecream shop, she was planning to confront them after they ordered, and were in a place away from prying eyes or anyone's ears.
After they left Cinder and her crew followed them, however when Cinder went to confront them they both shattered like glass, and the next thing Cinder felt was sword pressed against her throat, this was courtesy of Neo, the pink dress girl had two guns, one against Lorya's head, and one on Emerald and Mercury.
Neo asked Cinder why she was following them? Cinder explained that she was looking for Roman Torchwick and that she had a job for him, it took a bit of convincing but soon enough Neo, and the girl Cinder now only knew as Kaibi, took her and her crew to Torchwick.
Cinder had paid Torchwick to find the fall maiden, without actually telling him she was a maiden, lucky Cinder had a description to give him since she didn't have a name, or an age to give him or a picture, after paying him 50,000 lien half of the agreed amount of 100,000 lien, and promising to pay him the rest when the job was done, Cinder left and she and her crew went back to the white fang base, where they took out most of them easily.
Adam Taurus came running outside when Cinder met him again she made her same proposal as last time, Adam Taurus once again refused her, and she then tried to use threats saying that they would have a powerful enemy if they didn't join them, she was speaking of Salem, and then he said that he wanted to test if Cinder could back up what she said, and he had her fight one of his best lieutenants and Cinder was shocked to see Umidori again, as for Lorya she looked like she was pretending to be surprised, which Cinder noticed but decided not to worry about it, the girl was now older.
Cinder knew she was powerful which may have been the only reason Adam let her join his ranks, despite being human, in their fight it was close, but Cinder was eventually defeated by Umidori.
However Adam decided that Cinder had the heart that he wanted to see in her, and agreed to work with her plus he wanted to meet this powerful person, that she spoke of and they agreed to find Blake Belladonna for him at his request.
After a few more days Cinder learned that Torchwick was quite reliable, well Neo and Kaibi were, but they worked for him so she guess that worked, she was contacted by Neo claiming that a woman named Amber who matched the description Cinder gave was traveling to Mistral, and When, Cinder and her crew ambushed her, only a week after that information was given they found that.
Neo's information was correct this was Fall, they used Emerald to lure her out and let her guard down, unfortunately Emerald made a mistake and accidentally kicked some dirt up, and Amber prepared for battle.
The fight with the maiden was one of toughest fights they ever had, Amber was very powerful she had the ability to control all the elements, and she was able to use telekinesis as well.
Her speed and strength was increased far beyond normal levels even for huntsmen and huntress's her perception was greatly increased as well, since how easily she was able to dodge Cinder's arrows and even bullets fired at her, she mainly used arcane magic but she could use other types of magic as well, and she could control the weather as well.
It seemed almost impossible to beat a maiden, however with the right strategies and Cinder's quick battle perception, as well as her teammates they were eventually able to subdue Amber, and Cinder used the Grimm that Salem gave her to steal Amber's maiden powers.
Unfortunately she was only able to get half of the power, because Qrow Branwen showed up, a veteran huntsman directly under Ozpin.
They could have taken him down, if they were not already drained from the fight with Amber so they retreated.
After returning to Vale they went back to Torchwick, Neo, and Kaibi to pay the other 50,000 lien, and after she paid she told Roman that if he joined her, and her mistress that her that he could get more money then he would know what to do with, and protection from very powerful people after this Cinder showed off her maiden powers, or the half she had anyway to prove what she claimed was true, as well as paid Roman, Neo and Kaibi each 1,000,000 lien promising there would be so much more if they joined her.
Roman soon agreed, and Cinder gave him his first assignment, of stealing all the kingdom's dust.
Cinder got nice apartment in Vale, one they could operate out of for while she left Emerald, and Mercury at the apartment, well it was more like a luxury penthouse.
Cinder sometimes wished she didn't kill her step family, so they could see that she was now living an even more luxurious life, then they did with more money, and power then they could ever hope to have.
Cinder and Lorya returned to Salem's castle alone, when they got there they learned that Salem had a new member, the man looked to be in his mid to late forties, or early to even possibly mid fifties, and his name Cinder learned was Amata Kihara, and she didn't like him at all, something about Amata Kihara just seemed off he kind of reminded her, of her old orphanage dorm mother, who was another horrible woman in Cinder's life.
It also seemed like he was the kind of person who lied about everything, and kept a thousand secrets.
Cinder didn't trust him one bit, Lorya on the other hand, spent the next 3 weeks practically attached to the man's hip, trying to learn everything she could from him.
When Cinder went to his lab once to snoop around, she saw that he was creating some kind of giant brain in a large tube, and it said Merlot Industries on it, there was ton of stuff from that company, he also had a bunch of SDC brand equipment as well.
Cinder was able to hack his computer, and she found hundreds of files, they were all names of other experiments he conducted, she had seen some that stood out, there was, Project Accelerator, Project Exterior, Project Radio Noise, Project Level 6 Shift, Dark May Project.
Most of the projects were headed by man named Gensei Kihara, it seems Amata was just a middle man, of who ever the Kihara's were.
Cinder found another folder that confused her, this one was called Remnant Project's, which confused Cinder but she put it aside, and opened the file.
She found a few projects he was conducting they were pretty much like the last folder there was, Project Remnant Exterior, Project Semblance Extension, Project Artificial Aura, Project Remnant level 6 Shift, Remnant Dark May Project, and Project Stargate.
Cinder skimmed through some of the files, and she was surprised at some of the things she read that he was doing, Project Semblance Extension, involved pushing a Semblance beyond it's natural limitations with special drugs however, all of his test subjects were killed by this, and it has so far produced no results.
She found out that Project Artificial Aura was even more insane, then the previous one she read. Amata Kihara was actually trying to create artificial souls, to Increase aura and the aura output, to try and develop multiple semblances in a single body.
Project Remnant Level 6 Shift was confusing to her, but from what she could tell, it was meant to shift someone called 'Vibration' from level 5 too level 6, she didn't understand how it worked at all though.
Remnant Dark May Project, and Project Remnant Exterior both had empty folders, but the last one, Project Stargate was the strangest one of all. It involved using particle acceleration and gravity manipulation, to create a portal to another world.
After reading all this stuff Cinder came to one solid conclusion, Amata Kihara was crazy, he was completely out of his mind. Cinder found another folder that was called, Vibration Frequency Tracking System, or VFTS, this made Cinder do a double take.
It apparently would allow Amata Kihara, to track vibration frequencies from other dimensions, by accurately reading their dimensional signature, and then send him an immediate signal to the location of contact, which he would then investigate.
Cinder thought he was searching for aliens, or something as she opened the folder, when she opened it, all she found were names and locations.
Frenda Seivelun: Patch.
Fremea Seivelun: Argus.
Kaibi Gokusai: Vale.
Umidori Kuroyoru: Vale.
Aihana Etsu: Vale.
Aihana Etsu: Atlas.
Therestina Kihara: Mantle.
Shinobu Nunotaba: Atlas.
Enshu Kihara: Atlas.
Mikoto Misaka: Atlas.
Misaki Shokuhou: Atlas.
Choubi Hanano: Menagerie.
Gunha Sogiita: Vacuo.
Shizuri Mugino: Vacuo.
Aihana Etsu: Vacuo.
Ester Rosenthal: Atlas.
Awaki Musujime: Mistral.
Unknown Name: Atlas.
Unknown Name: Vale.
Unknown Name: Mistral.
Unknown Name: Vale.
Cinder read the list of names and locations, she didn't understand why Amata was tracking these people, while two of them seem to be his family members, she was sure he had no relation with the others.
She never knew Umidori's and Shizuri's last names, they never told her, apparently he was tracking Kaibi as well, someone she just learned the last name of but why?
The thing that stood out to Cinder the most was Aihana Etsu, or more accurately all three of them, why was there three? was it three people with the same name? that would make it difficult to track down this, Dark Sides Bane.
Cinder found an electronic journal in the computer as well, she opened it and found it was password protected, after she tried multiple times to crack the password, which she failed to do with everything she tried even, 'Password' some people did that.
After failing six times with random things, she then tried putting the names of his family members first Cinder tried, Gensei Kihara which failed, then she tried Therestina Kihara which also failed, then she tried Enshu Kihara, and this failed, at nine attempts she only had one left before the file would lock.
Cinder at this moment for some reason thought back to that first project she saw, and typed in 'Accelerator' which granted her access, to Cinder's displeasure most of the file was written in an ancient mistralian language that she didn't know how to read, probably as some sort of cypher, Cinder thought.
However there were parts she could read, but it was all stuff she had trouble understanding, there was some stuff about an Accelerator, Amata seemed to really focus on that, there was something called SYSTEM, and an Absolute Esper, there was Academy City, that seemed to repeat quite a lot, there was a section about Espers, and then there was one on Magicians, and one on, Necromancers, one on, Vampires, one on magical artifacts, and a very small section on something called Magic Gods, all of these things, it seemed he learned of them from someone named Aleister Crowley.
Then there was something that was in the bottom, in the Remnant section it was two projects that he was in progress of, the first was Project Remnant Espers, and the other was Project Remnant A.A.A. The first one Project Remnant Espers was talking about creating those espers in Remnant, it had names of people he believed were compatible with this project.
Pyrrha Nikos.
Trivia Vanille.
Cinder Fall.
Whitley Schnee.
Lorya Asher.
Coco Adel.
Anna Castle.
Fiona Thyme.
From what Cinder read out of all these people, Amata believed five of them had the potential to reach Level 5 whatever that meant.
However those people were Trivia, Pyrrha, Anna, herself, and Lorya she was surprised to see her name, and Lorya on this list, for Lorya because Cinder never knew her last name was Asher, and as for herself there was no way in hell she was going to let Amata Kihara experiment on her, the one that shocked her the most however was her dead older step sister, Anna on the list of names since she is dead.
Her step sisters names were Anna and Alanna Castle, she was never allowed to call her step sisters by their names, but she knew what they were, Anna was the older twin by like two minutes, with the long curly blonde hair.
Cinder remembered running her sword through her chest, there was no way she was still alive right? Cinder was sure she was dead, they didn't have unlocked auras no way they lived. Before Cinder could see what Project Remnant A.A.A. was, Amata opened the door but luckily the maiden powers gave Cinder incredible speed, she was able to zoom away from the computer before he could see her, and hide behind one of the couches in the room.
Amata entered and looked straight at his computer, saying to himself he was sure he turned it off, and how he knows he didn't leave his journal open.
Amata then decided to copy the journal on to external device and delete the original.
He then turned off the computer and left the room. Cinder waited for fifteen minutes then left the room herself, however when she opened the door Amata was waiting on the otherside, with a big smile on his face.
First he said that he new she was in the room the whole time, and that he wasn't really worried since there was nothing that important on his computer anyway, and he doubted she could read japanese to find out the actual important stuff, and then he said that he was impressed that she not only hacked his computer.
But was able to get into his journal, then he said something about him being right about her being as smart as a level 5, after that he walked away with out another word.
Cinder and Lorya returned to the penthouse in Vale, where they waited out their time for a bit, Cinder had visited Roman a few times, and she visited the white fang a few times, as well to see how Adams operation was going.
Sometime later Cinder, and Lorya, and the rest of the crew finally found out that Amber was in Beacon Academy thanks to Kaibi Gokusai, who was able track her there, the method she used wasn't revealed to them but Cinder didn't care.
The problem was she would need to figure how to infiltrate the school to get to Amber, and not to mention the relic is in the school, Cinder decided she could use that to get Salem to let her go to the school, and get the rest of Amber's power.
Cinder contacted Watts, and asked him get her some fake transcripts, from some combat school, so she could join Beacon.
He suggested she transfer in after the first semester, since the vital festival would be held during that time, and many students from different schools would be coming to Beacon, at that time.
Cinder however had a another promise to keep, when she noticed that Blake Belladonna was attending Beacon as well, she decided she would kill three birds with one stone, she would get Amber's power, get Blake for Adam, and get the relic, she did a lot of research, and she knew she would need to get a team of four, and Lorya had refused claiming she had something,"important," she was doing so Cinder needed someone else as a fourth teammate.
Cinder decided to temporarily recruit Neo, as a fourth teammate she originally she wanted to use Kaibi Gokusai, because of her semblance Heart Messure, which allowed her to shrink the emotional distance between her and whoever she used it on, Cinder figured it would be great to use on Blake Belladonna, to make her believe they were close friends, so they could kidnap her, and bring her too Adam.
Unfortunately Kaibi said that she some really bad blood with a girl named Frenda Seivelun, who wouldbe at Beacon, and apparently Kaibi's old team, and Frenda's old team were at constant odds, and since Heart Messure dosen't last forever, she couldn't be her teammate as such Neo was the back up choice.
Cinder and her team passed the Beacon entrance exam with flying colors, they made sure to gather all the information they needed before hand, so they already knew what the rules were, before Ozpin and Glenda told anyone, and they already knew the exact location of the chess pieces, as such they were first to get there pieces which was the queen pieces, they were called Team CMEN (crimson).
The next step was to make friends with Team RWBY, it was not hard since RWBY was so trusting, and gullible Cinder made friends with Ruby Rose easily, and it wasn't hard for Neo to make friends with Weiss Schnee, some how Neo knew all about the rich lifestyle that Weiss lived at the time.
Emerald and Yang got along well too, and as for Blake Belladonna, Cinder wanted to have her meet Kaibi but unfortunately, Kaibi had been severely injured by The Body Carver, and was recovering in the hospital at the time.
It was not hard for Cinder and her team to befriend Team JNPR, or any of the other teams at Beacon, the only person she couldn't befriend was Frenda Seivelun, who didn't trust Cinder or her team at all, that was the only problem at the time, and while Team CMEN was the top team in Beacon.
Frenda was still the top student, she even beat the Invincible Girl Pyrrha Nikos, and Cinder herself in combat class as well as Neo.
Frenda literally went undefeated the whole school year, and Cinder could have sworn she had seen the girl use two semblances, but that would be impossible.
Because of this getting rid of Frenda would be no easy task, fortunately for Cinder she learned that Frenda had romantic feelings for Ruby, and this is what Cinder would use against her.
She would seduce Ruby, and become her girlfriend, and rub it in Frenda's face that she was dating the girl she loved, Cinder was hoping it would crush her spirit enough, that she might actually just get out of Cinder's way, or at least she would let her guard down enough that she could operate in peace without, the blonde girl constantly looking down her neck all the time.
So Cinder asked Ruby out on a date, were she used some very seductive techniques to get her intrested, and asked her to be her girlfriend which Ruby agreed too, but wanted to take things slow, so it made it difficult to show off to Frenda.
Ruby would pull away, and pretend to do something else when Cinder would try to kiss her, especially in front of Frenda, most other advances Cinder tried were avoided by Ruby as well, the most the girl wanted to do was go on dates, hug and hold hands the most she allowed were cheek kisses, this was not enough to get at Frenda, the only time Cinder was able to kiss Ruby was when she 'accidentally' forced one on her.
A little later Cinder and Lorya began searching for Aihana Etsu, however this showed no results as every time they got a lead on Aihana Etsu, it just kept leading them to different people all calling themselves Aihana Etsu, they were wild goose chases.
Raven Branwen exited her tent, and removed her mask. "So you work for Salem?" Raven asked. "We... actually have a proposition for you Raven." Watts responded.
"And what would that be?" Raven asked. Cinder let a sinister looking smile grace her lips.
Part 4.
Frenda Seivelun panted trying to catch her breath, this was insane she had never fought someone like Thor before, the boy could move faster then the eye could see, he was insanely strong, and he had an incredibly high amount of aura.
Nora charged in with her hammer taking a full swing at Thor's head unfortunately, the boy simply raised his hand and blocked the attack, then he literally bitch slapped Nora, who took a hit to her aura andwent flying across the area, slamming into the wall leaving a large crack through it.
Weiss tried summoning a large nevermore, she figured maybe Thor wouldn't be able to fight a creature in the sky since he didn't have a gun function on his hammer, this was short lived however when Thor simply swung his hammer down towards the nevermore, a bolt of lightning struck the nevermore from the sky destroying it, he then basically teleported next to Weiss, and kicked her in the stomach sending her bouncing along the ground.
(This kid isn't even trying, and he running circles around us, it feels like I am fighting that Dark Matter brat all over again.) Qrow thought, as he dodged a bolt of lightning that Thor shot at him, Qrow and Yang attacked at the same time, Qrow swung his sword at Thor's side, he jumped out the way but Yang was there to get the hit, her fist slammed into Thor's chest sending him up in the air.
Then she jumped up into the air and hit him back to the ground, then he was pulled by some summoned chains by Weiss, and at fast speeds was pulled towards Ruby, after that Ruby charged with crescent rose and slammed it's tip into his aura, sending him bouncing along the ground, then Frenda threw about 30 bombs at him they all exploded doing damage to his aura.
However Thor just stood back up with a grin, as if nothing happened, he was literally able to tank all of that, it was like they were throwing paper at him.
Ruby didn't know what else to do, she was sick of this, first it was Tetikou Kakine as Frenda called him, and now this Thor person, how many more insanely powerful people did Salem have on her side.
And the fact that he said he was working with Lorya, someone she thought Frenda had killed a long time ago was still alive? She thought all that crap was behind her.
She remembered Aihana Etsu before was overly powerful as well, back when she was still back at Beacon, and when they were investigating a series of murders, that eventually led them to a person that was called The Body Carver, he had a crazy semblance too, she remembered that was the time she and Frenda worked with Cinder, who at the time was manipulating her and all her friends, it truly angered Ruby that her true first kiss was Cinder Fall.
Especially since it was forced with a lame apology as an excuse, when she found out about what Cinder was really up too at the end of the vital tournament, it pissed her off that such an evil person was her first kiss.
Ruby's thoughts were interrupted when Carissa charged Thor with her sword with aura enhancing her strike, she hit Thor in the side or she would have before anyone could see Thor vanished from the spot he was in, Ruby saw that Thor was even faster then she was, he was literally vanishing in his speed, it was like teleportation she couldn't believe his speed, he was faster then anyone she has ever seen before, even Kakine hadn't moved this fast when she fought him.
"Well I have to say I am truly disappointed... I expected more of you guys." Thor stated with a bland face.
"Well then how about we amp it up a bit then lightning god!" Lessar shouted as she activated her semblance, she ran at Thor with incredible speed, and punched him right in the gut, this sent Thor flying, then Leivinia sent multiple fireballs at him from her dust wand each slamming into his body, Carissa appeared behind him with aura enhanced speed and kicked him in the back.
Weiss summoned multiple Arma Giggas with every dust type enhancing them, they all swung down on him at the same time, creating a large crater in the ground with Thor in the center, then to top it off, Yang blasted her dust rockets at him while Nora blasted him with grenades and Frenda threw a ton of bombs at him all of this created a massive explosion, that was visible from the other side of the city, "Did that get him?" Yang asked.
"In the end, it better have." Frenda said. But then the dust cleared and Thor stood back up, he didn't even have a scratch from the combination attack, he dusted himself off and smiled. "Ok that was a little better, but still weak." Thor said mockingly.
They all just looked on in disbelief, "You're kidding me!" Qrow said. "After all that he is barely even affected!?" Weiss said. "You can't defeat the Lightning God that easily ice queen." Thor, with a smile then changed his hammer into a golden lance.
"GUNGNIR!?" Leivinia screamed out in fear of the powerful lance. "Glad you recognize it, yeah it is a replica of Gungnir, unfortunately I am not Othinus... I can't use the true Gungnir but even with this, I can destroy a hole kingdom if I chose... it depends on how much aura I put in it." Thor explained, as he raised the lance, only to show it off.
Many were in complete disbelief, "Impossible! how could a single huntsman weapon, destroy a hole kingdom!?" Jaune asked. Leivinia is the one who answered. "Just be glad it is not the true Gungnir boy, it would be capable of much worse... although I don't know what this version of Gungnir is like, I am assuming that Thor has to use his own power to increase it's output, so destroying the hole kingdom of Mistral would most likely drain him completely." Leivinia explained.
"True it would completely drain my aura to accomplish something like that... however what Gungnir is meant to do is destroy it's target, and it never misses." With that said, Thor through it directly at Weiss, it slammed into her sending her flying, and breaking her aura. "WEISS!" Ruby, Frenda, Yang, Jaune, Ren, and Nora screamed at the same time, afraid for their friends safety.
"One throw from Gungnir brakes aura, and two means death." Thor said, then he prepared to throw the lance again. Weiss is barely even able to stand back up, Ruby runs over to Weiss to help her stand up.
"Ruby get out of here! I don't want you to die too!" Weiss attempted to push Ruby away. The lance flew at incredible speeds, and slammed into not Weiss, not Ruby, but back into Thor himself. Thor's aura took a huge hit as he was thrown back across the battlefield, everyone besides Frenda, and Weiss were shocked when the powerful lance Gungnir, seemingly bounced of the boy known as Accelerator.
Part 5.
Blake Belladonna sighed in defeat. "Well that was a total waste of time." Kuroko said.
They tried to recruit people to join them to go to Mistral, and defend Haven Academy from the white fang, but they only got turn downs. Kazari looks at Myama who has been very distant the past couple days. "Are you okay Myama? you haven't been eating or speaking much recently." Kazari sounded concerned about the young boy.
Myama looked at her with his blank expression. "I have been having this recurring dream... about a boy with white hair, and red eyes, and pale white skin, with these platinum wings, and this floating girl next to him, facing a shadow, it was the scariest dream I have ever had." Myama said. Blake was confused when she heard this. "wait I thought your dreams come true right? so does that mean this is going to happen?" Blake asked.
"Yes most likely but sometimes my precognition isn't completely clear, but that is not what scares me about the dream, it is the fact that in the dream the shadow can see me, it knows I am there." Myama said.
Blake didn't want to dig more into it, she didn't really understand Myama's precognition semblance at all, she didn't even think a precognition semblance existed, until she met him.
She never thought it was possible to know the future.
As for Kuroko she just thought about the boy that Myama described. (White hair? red eyes? pale skin? That sounds strangely like the #1Accelerator, is he here too?) Kuroko thought. She had only seen Accelerator twice.
First when she, and Mikoto Misaka fought him, during project level 6 shift, it wasn't much of a fight, he just reflected everything, even Mikoto's railgun, they would have died that night if the clones didn't stop him. And the second time was when, Touma Kamijou actually defeated him in combat. That boy's right hand was such a mystery, on top of defeating Mikoto, it even defeated, the strongest esper in Academy City.
"So what do we do about Haven? We don't have enough people to face the white fang." Sun stated, from his spot on the couch, eating a very big bag of chips, he was spilling crumbs on the floor much too the dismay of Kazari Uiharu, who was upset about sun spilling crumbs on her carpet, in her apartment, but she was too nice to scold him for it, she decided she would just clean it up later.
"We just have to keep trying, there must be someone who will help." Blake said. "No Sun is right Blake, this isn't working we need to come up with a better strategy." Hanano said.
Then Blake had an idea. "You know Hanano maybe your right, and maybe it's time for the people of Menagerie... to learn the real truth about the white fang." Blake stated. She then pulled out her scroll, and made a call too her father.
Part 6.
Accelerator stood in front of Weiss and Ruby, directly across from Thor with his hands in his pockets, his choker active, everybody's jaw dropped except Weiss, and Frenda at what they just witnessed, the lance Gungnir, a weapon that broke Weiss Schnee's aura upon impact.
A weapon that could destroy an entire kingdom bounced off Accelerator like harmless peice of cotton, even Thor was shocked at the power the #1 level 5 held. "So am I to assume you work for this Salem person?" Accelerator asked without care in the world of what just transpired, the attack didn't even phase him.
"Technically while we are working with Salem for now, Grimmlin is it's own faction, and Lorya is only our leader because I allowed it, if I wanted I could be the leader of Grimmlin... but where was the fun in that." Thor said with a smug face.
"Tch, you really like to hear yourself talk don't you? Look I don't give a shit about your stupid little group, or your dumb ass leader." Weiss looked at Accelerator as he once again was protecting her, but she didn't understand why it was not his job to protect her anymore, he could go home if he wanted to so why?
( I don't get it I'm sure he was already paid, all he had to do was send proof of my safe arrival to Mistral, so why is he still protecting me? It doesn't make since, he made it clear he doesn't want anything to do with me, he made it clear all he cared about was the money, unless. Does Accelerator actually care but just can't admit to it? Am I still important to him?) Weiss thought with a small blush on her face.
Accelerator continued. "But I am interested in Salem, because her plan from this, Oscar, or Ozpin whatever he is, says this Salem person's plan puts the kids life in danger, I don't care what I have to do, or who I have to kill to keep the smile on her face, even if I have to become a true monster, I will do whatever it takes to keep her safe." Accelerator said.
"Ha ha ha now who likes to hear himself talk! So what are some kind of hero? Some knight in shining armor now? Because from the information I received on you, you were quite the ruthless killer, if you remember Project Level 6 Shift, and your little dream of becoming invincible, but that's the thing Accelerator... you're not invincible and you never will be, they lied to you when they told you that you had the potential to become a god, you will never be a god, that little title of yours The One Who Wields The Power of God is wasted on you, but I will show you the power of a God! The power of The Lightning God Thor!!!" With that Thor swung his hammer down, and large bolt of lightning engulfed Accelerator.
This attack would easily burn someone to ash, however when it was over a large crater was created, and Accelerator stood in the center of it, in the same position without even a scratch on him.
(Holy shit! I saw him fight back at mom's camp, but I had know idea Accelerator was this strong!) Yang thought. She was in shock, she had seen Pyrrha Nikos, Penny Polendina, Neopolitan, that Kaibi chick, Professor Goodwitch, Adam Taurus, Winter Schnee, her uncle Qrow, her dad, her mom, Loryra, Cinder, Frenda, that Aihana Etsu person, The Body Carver.
But Accelerator was on whole different level then anything she had ever seen. Yang knew this fight was about to become way beyond the rest of them, at this point they will just get in the way of these two monsters, and probably die if they tried to help.
Yang normally never really knows when she is outmatched, for example she never beat Neo once, but she still kept trying just like she never beat Pyrrha, or Frenda but still believed she could, she even once wanted to take on Glynda Goodwitch back at Beacon, but Glynda told her Students were not allowed to spar with teachers and refused her challenge.
But with Accelerator, it was completely different Yang wouldn't even want to try to fight him, she wouldn't even think about it, not from what she saw from him even this far.
First he single handedly destroyed her mother's bandit camp, then takes down a maiden in seconds flat with no effort, and now he tanks a powerful bolt of lightning that burned the ground to molten, and created a 20ft crater without even the smallest hit to his aura, not to mention he is literally standing in what looked like a pool of molten lava without a care in the world, and without taking any damage to his aura.
"So you're semblance allows you to connect your hammer with the electricity in the atmosphere huh? It is truly pathetic that your piss poor ability is based off of a norse mythology god, and I am betting that Thor is not really your name, you probably picked it yourself, when you discovered your pathetic power, but that just makes you even more of a third string." Accelerator Taunted. He then simply removed his hands from his pockets.
"Well then... now it's my turn." Accelerator announced, then within the blink of an eye he was in front of Thor, no one even saw Accelerator move, it looked like he teleported, everyone watched on as Accelerator lightly tapped his palm against Thor's chest, normally a move like this would do nothing, but Accelerator manipulated the vectors of kinetic momentum, and force so the moment he touched Thor the boy was sent flying at such a high velocity that a sonic boom sounded, as Thor's body slammed through multiple buildings.
His body tore the tops of the buildings off as it slammed into them at 2,846 mph, Thor finally came to a stop more then half way across the city, leaving a large canyon through the ground.
Accelerator had calculated a route through the city that was safe for any citizens, so no body would be hurt from Accelerator's attack, then he created four wing tornadoes from his back, and launched himself in the direction that Thor was thrown.
Thor had taken a huge hit to his aura from that attack. Thor's aura is normally at 14500 charge, the fight before left him at only 14492 charge, but that first attack from Accelerator left him at 8534 charge while Accelerator was still at 12000 aura, Accelerator also knew how much aura Thor had, one of the perks to Balance was that he could see people's aura levels and colors, Thor originally has massive aura, and his aura is an aqua blue color, Thor's aura also had electricity running through it as well.
Over one billion volts to be exact, much like the Railgun did with her esper power.
Accelerator landed in front of Thor, as he stood back up while Thor took quite the strong hit from Accelerator, he didn't seem to care all that much. "Well that was good! Great hit Accelerator!" Thor said very excited. (So it seems he just likes fighting.) Accelerator thought.
Thor transformed his hammer into his lance, and threw it at the ground right next to Accelerator the impact exploded a large amount of dust, and rocks in all directions, Accelerator manipulated the direction of the rocks to miss any citizens, that were nearby watching the fight.
The lance then flew back to Thor's hand, Accelerator noticed a line of Thor's aura connecting the lance to Thor's hand.
(So he is using his own aura to control the direction of the lance just like how he connects his aura to the atmosphere with his hammer, too bad for him I am the master of direction.)
Accelerator thought, as a new plan came to mind. Thor threw the lance again this time at speeds he believed were to fast for Accelerator to react too, since it was way beyond the fastest speed the eye could process but, to his surprise the lance curved too Accelerator, and Accelerator caught it, then in the next second Thor's weapon was shattered to pieces.
Part 7.
Ruby couldn't believe what she saw, Accelerator was insane on so many levels, he was something far beyond huntsman and huntress's, Frenda had told her he was the strongest esper in Academy City, but she didn't know what that meant until now.
(Espers must be crazy powerful especially the level 5 ones like Accelerator, and Dark Matter, even Tetikou Kakine, while he was crazy strong as well, he is nothing like Accelerator.) Ruby thought. This white haired monster was the strongest person she had ever seen.
Accelerator is on completely different scale then Kakine, and Aihana Etsu who she figured was also an esper from Academy City, that hole situation was crazy back at Beacon, and what Aihana could do was beyond anything she had seen at the time.
But that was changed when she met Kakine aka Dark Matter, and then there is Accelerator, the first ranked level 5, the manipulator of vectors, Ruby didn't really understand vector manipulation, and the way Frenda explained it didn't help that much, but from what she was able to understand from what Frenda explained, Accelerator was able to control anything he touched that had direction and magnitude, she explained that just about everything has a direction and magnitude.
So Accelerator was able to manipulate basically everything, Frenda had said that Accelerator's base technique was called his Vector Shield, or his Reflection, Ruby didn't understand all the math that went into esper powers, but she did understand that Accelerator could quickly do mind math to figure out the stuff he has to deal with, then his ability automatically activates his reflection for vectors that can hurt him.
It was all way too advanced for Ruby to understand fully, but she tried her best to understand it.
When Ruby asked Frenda if that meant that Accelerator was invincible, she had said from the information the dark sideof Academy City had on Accelerator, he wasn't invincible, apparently he was beaten in combat twice, the first time was unknown as to how, or just kept very top secret, the second time was when Accelerator fought a man named Amata Kihara who created something called the Kihara Counter against Accelerator, from what Frenda said her old leader Shizuri Mugino had collected a file on it, she read it once, and said it claimed that Accelerator's ability could be tricked.
By pulling your punch a few milliseconds before contact, it will cause his reflection to reverse in on itself, which will pull the attack toward Accelerator instead of pushing it away from him, apparently this information was sold to the highest bidder in the dark side, and then somehow Shizuri Mugino got her hands on it.
Frenda said that attempting it was really dangerous, and that executing the move had to be 100% perfect, if you were off by even a millisecond, you would shatter every bone in your arm when you hit Accelerator's reflection.
Ruby had no idea how this Amata Kihara guy was able to do it, and according to Frenda no one else did either, but that is what made Ruby scared for Accelerator, from the way Thor spoke about Project Level 6 Shift made it clear to Ruby he is also an esper, probably a level 5 as well, and that meant he is from Academy City, and the girl wondered what if Thor knows how to use the Kihara Counter?
Then there is one more way to beat Accelerator, Frenda told her that at one point Accelerator was shot in the head, this resulted in the loss of his esper ability, but Frenda said that, Accelerator was given a choker that allowed him to continue using his ability.
Apparently the file Shizuri Mugino had on Accelerator, incase she ever had to fight him, said that Accelerator's choker was controlled by the city, and that the higher ups could, deactivate it at anytime if he disobeyed them, she also said that his could be affected by certain electromagnetic interference, like, something she called chaff seed, and specific sound frequencies, and specific radio waves.
All this worried Ruby. (What if Thor, knows how to disable Accelerator's choker, or turn off his reflection, or ability entirely.) Ruby wondered, if Thor was so confident because he already knew how to beat, Accelerator.
Part 8.
Thor couldn't believe his eyes when his version of Gungnir was destroyed so easily, it excited him. Accelerator was well worth the wait, but with both Mjőlnir, and Gungnir gone he supposed it was time for him to use his Remnant version of Almighty.
Part 9.
Accelerator found this fight to be a joke, he was easily able to destroy the lance, all he had to do was manipulate the vectors in the base form of Thor's aura he had to admit, Thor's aura was strange, it had an electric current running through it, and some other substance.
Accelerator was not able to manipulate that strange substance attached to Thor's aura, Accelerator thought maybe it was magic at first, but that didn't seem that quite right to him, from what Ozpin said magic is gifted not learned in Remnant.
But it didn't matter he was still able to manipulate the base form of his aura, and the electric current running through it, using that he was able to slightly change the direction Thor was pushing his aura that connected the lance, and make it curve right into his own hand then he manipulated the molecules, causing them to vibrate to the point where the lance destroyed itself, with the lance out of the way this fight is over.
Or so Accelerator thought because in the next moment Thor vanished from the spot he was standing in and appeared behind Accelerator, Thor's had his hand clenched into a fist, Accelerator turned around just as Thor stuck him in the chest.
The hit slammed hard into Accelerator's aura, Accelerator was knocked off his feet bouncing and rolling along the ground, he went about 50ft stopping when he slammed into a large truck. (What the fuck!? That strike completely bypassed my reflection!!!) Accelerator was in a panic in his mind since this was something completely new to him.
(It wasn't the Kihara counter either, it was something completely different, a completely different force with another new set of rules, son of a bitch! I am sick of running into things like this, these god damn rules I know nothing about.)
Accelerator didn't have the time to figure it out, at the moment as Thor was next to him in a second.
Accelerator jumped high into the air as Thor punched the air, sending out a shock wave that completely demolished the building that was behind Accelerator, turning it to rubble.
Accelerator created his wind wings to stay a float in the air, Thor leaped into the air as Accelerator quickly shot a large tornado at him, Thor however blasted right through the tornado and continued to Accelerator slamming his fist into Accelerator's face, his aura protected him but he took a hit as he was slammed back into the ground. Accelerator was trying to figure out what to do against Thor right now, since This was now becoming a problem.
(I need to figure out the vector properties of that strange substance and how I can reflect it, the problem is it doesn't follow normal physical laws but it also doesn't bypass aura, so aura countering it is going to be difficult, it must be somehow connected to aura, if I can figure out it's aura properties, I should be able to manipulate it.) Accelerator thought. "Well well looks like the tables have turned Accelerator." Thor taunted.
He moved so fast he created distortion in the world, and time and space, Accelerator couldn't react as Thor grabbed him, launching himself and Accelerator through the whole city of Mistral, and slammed him into a building destroying it, and several other buildings in the process.
Accelerator coughed up blood, as the attack actually broke Accelerator's back.
His aura went to work healing his back, and he placed his hand on Thor's face sending Thor flying back about 30ft, at that moment RWY, JNR, Frenda, Qrow, Oscar, Lessar, Carissa, and Leivinia all showed up.
Weiss was completely baffled she had never seen anything like this before, Thor, and Accelerator seemed like gods or something, this was way beyond Accelerator's fight with Vector-X back in the tundra.
Ruby was not quite as surprised as others, since Frenda had already told her something like this was possible when it came to Accelerator, as Tree Diagram claimed that Accelerator had more then enough power to destroy the planet at full power.
Yang couldn't believe this, it was unreal how powerful these people were.
Carissa was shocked not just because of the power she was seeing, but because that power was coming from Academy City, the magic side had always thought they had a leg up over the science side, because of saints, saints were people who were born with the blood and body of Jesus Christ, giving them incredible power.
She always thought that then when it came down to a war with Academy City, that saints would be the thing that Academy City would never be able to touch, but now she was not so sure, if Academy City had espers like this on their side, infact from what she has seen, Accelerator was stronger than a saint.
Lessar was in the same boat as Carissa, kind of she had seen the power of the #3 before, but she wasn't anything close to this she wasn't even sure if Accelerator was really a level 5, it seemed like he was stronger then them. Qrow just like Oscar and JNR had never seen such power, and Ozpin even said to Oscar in his head that this was like magic, or what magic was able to do in the past anyway, with the world no longer being filled with magic, magic had become much weaker.
As for Leivinia Birdway she knew a lot about the science side, even the dark side of Academy City, while she didn't know everything thing about Accelerator, she did know exactly what his ability was, and what vector manipulation was capable of, on top of that she already got to witness Accelerator's power in Hawaii.
After that Accelerator vanished from Academy City, only a little bit before they went to face Magic God Othinus the leader of Gremlin, and then Touma Kamijou decided to protect Othinus against the world, the foolish boy was nearly killed by Academy City's #4 in Denmark.
Luckily he was only hospitalized because of her. The #4 had vanished while fighting Touma, Leivinia actually believed he would have been killed by the Meltdowner in his weakened state if she had not vanished, Leivinia herself ended up in Remnant only a few days after Touma Kamijou, and Kakaru Kamisato saved her twin sister Patricia Birdway, from a certain parasite that was infecting her.
(Would things have been different have been different for Kamijou, if Accelerator was there?)
Leivinia had remembered during Denmark, Meltdowner had broken Touma Kamijou's back and paralyzed him, luckily a certain doctor was able create a mechanical artificial spine for him, so he could walk but he still had to take medication every day now, and felt lots of back pain, had Accelerator been there things would have probably been different, she figured the city would have sent Accelerator after Touma, and from what she saw Accelerator and Touma were kind of Frenemies, so she doubted he would have broken his back.
Next all the viewers, besides Weiss and Frenda, were shocked when white angel like wings sprouted from Accelerator's back as he stood back up, it seemed the wings greatly increased his aura's healing process as well.
Accelerator's back was already fully healed, when he launched himself at Thor, who was not prepared for the increased speed Accelerator displayed, Accelerator increased the kinetic momentum in his hit, as he landed a punch on Thor sending the boy shooting through the air at the speed of a bullet.
Thor slammed through a few buildings, but quickly recovered as he came back at Accelerator at the speed of light aiming a kick at Accelerator, however Accelerator vanished from the spot he was standing in, and was now about 5,000 meters in the sky, next shot back down as a big ball of plasma slammed into Thor, creating a giant crater, and breaking his Aura as well as tearing large gashes in his body from the force.
Thor went spiraling on the ground, to all the viewers plus Accelerator it looked Thor was done for, after his aura was shattered, since that is usually when a fight ends in Remnant, since aura no longer protects the person's body, and they can now die.
However to everyone's complete surprise Thor stood back up like that didn't even phase him he was bleeding everywhere but didn't seem to care at all. "Now this what I am talking about! This is a real fight! finally I was getting tired of fighting people, who could barely even defend themselves against me!" Thor said.
He launched himself at Accelerator despite his injuries, he quickly kicked Accelerator in the gut sending him in the sky, then Thor jumped into the sky above Accelerator and kicked him back to the ground at super sonic speeds, the crater got even bigger, and deeper as Accelerator slammed into it, Accelerator was actually still able to reflect outside forces like wind, and the earth so he was only taking damage from Thor himself not from anything else.
However that hit broke Accelerator's aura so now he had to dodge as much as possible, the wings could heal Accelerator as well, but it was not the same as the aura, and white wings combination.
Ruby was confused watching this.
She went to try see if her girlfriend knew what was going on, "Frenda why isn't Accelerator reflecting Thor's attacks? Is Thor using the Kihara Counter?" Ruby asked. "I am not sure but I don't think it is the Kihara Counter, in the end every time Thor strikes some strange energy surrounds whatever part of his body he is using." Frenda replied.
Then Thor does something that shocked the spectators, and Accelerator even further, he conjured up orange, blades covered in orange and yellow electricity from both hands. "Let's see how you fair against my Arc Blades!" Thor announced.
Ozpin then takes over Oscar's body. "It is magic I can feel it, somehow Thor is capable of using magic!" Ozpin said. "How? I thought only the maidens, you and Salem could use magic now?" Qrow asked. "That is what I want to know as well, the magic Thor is using... it's different, it has different rules from normal magic." Ozpin said. (Could it be he was born with a natural connection to magic? But then why is his magic different from mine? It's like it's from another world.) Ozpin thought.
Accelerator stood back up as he now already figured out Thor's trick from the vectors he felt in that last attack.
(So that's it huh these are magical vectors, magical vectors follow different directions then normal physics, actually it is more accurate to say they go in all directions at once, but thanks to that last attack I was able to feel the directions of the vectors, so all I need to do is calculate a method that will let me reflect these specific magical vectors.
Thor moved quickly, he swung his arm down, and his blades, cut through several buildings on the way to Accelerator, Accelerator quickly moved out of the way, as the buildings were cut in half, Thor's Arc Blades were something completely unknown too Accelerator, However in the moment they came at, Accelerator he felt something very familiar.
(Those blades are magic from my universe!? How!?... Wait no it's not just magic from my world, Thor is capable of using magic from both worlds at the same time, he can use both Remnant, and Earth's rules, but how?)
Accelerator grabbed a building and manipulating it's vectors his hand sunk into it, he then was able to manipulate the planet's rotation, affecting the world, and literally twisting Remnant's kinetic energy, he slowed the rotation of Remnant, by about five minutes. Accelerator then literally ripped the entire building out of the ground, and launched it at Thor.
The building flew at supersonic speeds, but Thor simply cut the building in half with his arc blades, however, he wasn't prepared for Accelerator to be right behind the flying building, Accelerator punched Thor in the face, this sent Thor literally through the ground, his body ripped a small canyon in the road.
Thor stood up even with his Arc blades, he wasn't going to beat Accelerator, Thor's Arc Blades vanished. Confusing Accelerator, and the other spectators.
Then what happened next shocked everyone, Thor vanished from where he was then, Then Accelerator was hit in his side but and flew into a building, but when Accelerator looked back Thor was back standing, in his same spot again.
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!?" Too everyone's surprised it was Ruby who said this, Ruby basically never cursed, Frenda had only heard her drop the F bomb one time before, and her sister never heard her say anything worse, then, damn or ass, sometimes, shit, or son of a bitch, but never fuck. Weiss heard Ruby swear on multiple occasions, but she never heard her say the F word.
For Accelerator things were different. (What the fuck!? When Thor moved, the vectors in the world shifted, the whole world moved in a different direction!!! How the fuck is that possible!? It's his magic he can actually move the entire planet. I need to figure out a counter for this fast.)
Accelerator was completely lost at this point, How was he going counter someone who is moving the world in his favor. Thor literally had the world on his side, and it didn't physically affect anything. Magic was too damn strange, the only thing it affected was vector directions.
(I need to be able to understand magic, if I can't figure this out then I will literally die here, no not while the kid is around, I won't die, and leave her.) Accelerator put everything he had every single thought process, he accessed all his knowledge on magic, everything Aiwass, told him, everything he learned in Russia, in Hawaii, all the knowledge from Leivinia Birdway. Everything. He focused it all on Thor's power. "This is the end." "I will do this for the kid."
Part 10.
Cinder had just finished a shower, since Emerald, Mercury, and Kakine all went shopping for supply's, she thought she would grab a quick shower, and the hotel they were staying in on the outskirts of the city of Mistral, was nice even if it wasn't normally the kind of hotel that she would stay in, it was a bit low class for her, as she normally liked to stay in high class villa's, or penthouses, but she didn't want to be in the city so it had to do.
Cinder left the bathroom feeling refreshed, and happy even after all the earthquakes that went off earlier, while she was in the shower at least she thinks they were earthquakes, she didn't know what else they could possibly be.
However her entire world crashed when she saw Tetikou Kakine sitting on the bed watching tv. "W-what a-are you doing here!?" Cinder asked, her face as red as a tomato. "I thought you were out with Emerald, and Mercury getting supplies." Cinder said as she quickly calmed down, wondering what she was getting so flustered over in the first place. "I decided to head back since that got boring, and Emerald is annoying." Kakine said, as he continued to watch the tv.
Cinder looked over at the tv to see an old sitcom on, it actually surprised her a bit, Cinder didn't see Kakine, as the type to like comedy's, she certainly wasn't that fond of comedy shows, she liked reality tv the most, especially ones where the characters did stupid stuff, and got into fights all the time like the real house wife's of Atlas, or Menagerie shore, she also enjoyed watching movies from time to time too mostly horror, she loved good scary movies, and always rooted for the killer, not the survivors, her favorite horror movies were the ones when nobody survives the killer in the end. Movies, like The Man In The Dark, Slasher Festival, and Camp Blood.
"I didn't quite take you for someone who watches comedy." Cinder stated. "I don't usually, but there is nothing good on so why not." Kakine said. "I see better this then nothing huh?" Cinder said, as she went to grab her black leather choker. "So that is why you wear that thing." Kakine said looking at the scar around Cinder's neck.
Cinder winced back a bit, she didn't really like telling people about her childhood, and all the torture she went through. "It's nothing." Cinder dismissed a little harshly. "Well it's not nothing it's a scar, and I can only assume that someone must have repeatedly done something to your neck, and judging from how old it is, I would say you got it when you were child...so you were abused huh? Guess we have that in common, you know how I grew up." Kakine said.
Cinder remembered what Kakine had said about that school, that did nothing but manipulate him for his power.
Cinder didn't even bother to get dressed as she sat on the bed. "I don't remember much about my real mom... when I was a baby she left me at an orphanage in Mistral, it was honestly hell, and the head lady was an evil woman, she even encouraged the stronger children to bully the weaker one's. "
"I was one of the weakest one's if not the weakest, one day a woman from Atlas came and adopted me, she told me that she was my new mother, and that I would get two older sisters as well, she had told me that she lived in the high life of Atlas, and that I would never go hungry again, that all my needs would be taken of either by her or by my new sisters."
"But it was all a lie just to get my hopes up, so that they would be crushed that much more when I learned the truth, the truth was she didn't want a daughter, she wanted a slave she brought me to a nice hotel, that she ran and I was going to be the new, one and only worker there, they barely fed me and made me do everything for them and one day Madame... "
"That was the only name I was allowed to call my step mother, she actually never even told me her name, my sisters made me call them both mistress, but at least they did tell me their names, one day Madame put a necklace on me that had a lightning dust crystal in it, anytime I got in trouble, or messed up something in my work, or didn't do my work on time then she would shock me with a remote she had that was connected to the necklace, I got in trouble a lot but I never did anything wrong, my step sisters would purposefully mess up my work, or they would tell me do other things so it wouldn't get done in time, they did a lot of other things too me but I don't really want to remember that right now. So basically my life was horrible, until I met Salem and if I ever do meet my real mother, I think I would kill her." Cinder finished explaining her story, part of it anyway, as she looked at Kakine, and from the look on the boys face he was trying to hide his emotions.
"I see so we both lived fucked up lives." Kakine said. Then something happened that he never thought would ever happen, Cinder hugged him, Kakine could feel her breasts pushing into his chest, with the fact she was in only a towel was too much, Kakine began to feel his pants get tight as his penis began to get hard.
(Crap ok don't panic just don't make a big deal, and maybe she won't notice.) Kakine thought, but that was short lived as one the first things Cinder did was look down, she saw his boner through his pants, Cinder looked at him and smiled.
"So I turn you on hmm?" Cinder asked in lascivious tone, after all the things that happened between them, and that electricity she felt around him, she didn't know if she could hold herself back anymore, infact she definitely couldn't because when Cinder came too her senses she realized that her lips were already pressed to his, she separated, and Kakine didn't seem flustered, or anything it was as if he completely accepted it.
Cinder get's on her scroll for a moment then looked at Kakine. "Emerald and Mercury won't be back for a while now at least a few hours." Cinder said then she softly placed her bare foot on Kakine's crotch, Kakine let's out a small grunt as she pressed her sole down on his cock through his pants. "That gives plenty of time to play." Cinder voice was so seductive, and a little desperate, as she could no longer stand it anymore, and Kakine wanted it too.
Part 11.
Accelerator stood there nearly out of breath, he had been trying to analyze Thor's magic, but nothing he did could counter Thor's Almighty, if Accelerator messed with the planet's rotation too much he would cause, massive catastrophes, too envelop the world and probably kill billions of people, unlike Thor was capable controlling the world as much as he wanted.
Accelerator was lost, he couldn't figure out Thor's magic and he couldn't keep going like this, if he continued down this route, he was going to lose, Thor was very confident in his ability to win and, why wouldn't he be when he was always in the winning position.
Thor moved again, and Accelerator was hit from behind, then from the front, and then from his left side. And everytime, Thor did this, he was always right back where he started, and worst of it all, whenever Accelerator attacks Thor it always missed now, as Thor was moving Accelerator's position on the planet, to the losing position, no matter what he tried.
If Accelerator punched Thor, then he would hit a building, or a tree, or something, if he used wind, then he it would fizzle out, when the weather shifted, if he threw plasma it would just end up hitting him, Thor was literally shifting the planet's physics in his favor.
The spectators were all just confused, since they didn't understand what was going on at all, They would see Thor move then Accelerator would get hit with no defense against it, and if Accelerator tried to attack it would just revert on itself.
"In the end, that is not the Kihara Counter, I have no idea what is going on, it's like Thor is manipulating physics, or something." Frenda stated.
"I don't get it, it's like he can just decide what happens." Weiss said.
"It doesn't make any sense, how is he doing this?" Ruby asked.
"I know he is using magic, but I have never seen magic have this kind of effect, it is truly bizarre, it's like this is some new form of magic." Ozpin explained.
(Wait is it magic from a different world? is this the magic that, Lessar, Leivinia, and Carissa had access too, back on their world? then that would mean Thor is from, Earth, not Remnant.) Oscar thought, in Ozpin's head.
Ozpin listen to the boy, but they agreed to not say anything about Earth, to anyone, so he couldn't tell anybody this new information.
Accelerator was getting sick and tired of being hit, he was getting sick of running into things he couldn't understand, how did things get too this, back in Academy City, before he met Touma Kamijou, he would always win, nobody could even touch him and now he was getting shot in the head, punched by a crazy scientist, having his Reflection bypassed constantly, by things like, dark matter, and magic, stabbed by angel wings, it was pissing him off, he was the strongest but now he felt like weakest.
Accelerator was tired of losing to these things, he needed to find someway to combat these things, he needed to deal with Thor's Almighty.
(Wait I think I just got an idea here.)
Back during World War 3 in Russia, Accelerator used magic and it hurt his body, but in that short moment he, understood it's vectors, he understood, magical vectors. If he could remember what it felt like to have magic run through him, remember what magical vectors were, and how they moved.
(This is enough, I am the fucking #1! If Tetikou Kakine can upgrade his personal reality, the so can I, If he can control forces he doesn't understand, then I can too, I will show you Thor, why I am the strongest esper.) Accelerator once again focused 100% of his mind, but this time Instead of trying to remember, and understand the magical knowledge he gained before, he took every ounce of Magical knowledge everything he knew about magical vectors, and applied all that knowledge to his personal reality.
That is what a personal reality was it was a reality onto one's self, so why did it have to be limited? If he is creating his own reality, then why does he have to keep in the realm of logic, why can't extended it and defy the laws of physics and logic, this exactly what Accelerator did in this moment he extended, no he created a new personal reality, one that could manipulate magical vector calculations, applying magic to his own personal reality, Accelerator understood calculations beyond physics, beyond logic, these were his magical vectors.
Accelerator looked at Thor, and quickly moved faster then Thor was prepared for, and slammed his fist into Thor's gut, the boy was sent into and building, Thor quickly charged he shifted the very world and struck Accelerator.
The next thing that happened was Thor's hand breaking, upon making contact with Accelerator's reflection, or more accurately, Accelerator's magical vector reflection. In that short time Accelerator not only control magical vectors, he created a reflection calculation, that would reflect all magical vectors he could understand, so it wasn't perfect, if magic he didn't understand attacked him it could still bypass his reflection, but it was a start, with this most magic and many other unknown vectors would be instantly reflected.
After Accelerator applied this, everything Thor did was reflected, Accelerator, launch Thor into the ground and, then manipulated the vectors of force, a massive explosion accured, ripping through Thor's body, Thor stood up and was still happy.
Accelerator seemingly teleported infront of Thor, at this point there was nothing Thor could do, Accelerator understood both Science and Magic, Thor had lost.
Accelerator then sent Thor at a speed so great, the shockwave from it causedthe windows from the buildings around them to shatter, and many cars on the road, and other vehicles, and objects were launched into buildings and other things around the area.
Accelerator calculated things so that no civilians around would get hurt from anything, as for Thor he broke just about every bone in his body, as he slammed through a multiple buildings that completely collapsed from the impact, or shattered apart from the force.
Accelerator figured that would be enough to kill Thor, but he was proven wrong when the boy emerged from the rubble with a smile on his face, the boy looked the way child looked like when they were at a theme park. "Holy shit! what the hell is this kid made of!?" Yang asked out pure disbelief from the perspective of the spectators.
Thor now had two broken arms, and a broken leg, his left side was gashed out to the point where his rib bones were showing, on his right leg he was missing a knee cap, and he had a big piece of metal sticking out of his right shoulder, he was also missing his left eye, and part of his skull was showing on the right side of his head, and his right hand half way cut off, yet he was still capable of moving around at full speed, and he didn't seem phased by the fact that his body was completely in shambles. "He should be dead!" Frenda yelled. "This doesn't seem possible." Weiss half whispered. "How is he even walking?" Qrow asked.
"I have never seen anything like this before." Ruby said.
All of the reactions to Thor were in astonishment, and fear for some not just because of Thor but also because of the power Accelerator has shown to them.
Thor moved at speeds faster then light and he appeared next to Accelerator, the shockwave, and sheer force of his speed was more then enough to shake the whole city.
Thor's speed and the force of his punch while it was reflected by Accelerator, it opened up the ground, and destroyed several buildings, many of the of the spectators watched in complete awe, it was like nothing they have ever seen before, it was like a battle between two gods.
Thor looked at Accelerator who stood completely unharmed from his strongest attack, Almighty twice now.
"Well shit I guess there is no beating you Accelerator, and I am sure if this fight continues any further I will probably die, so I guess this is goodbye I have more then enough intell for Grimmlin, and besides you, and I will probably be fighting again soon anyway, I have a warning for you Accelerator, Salem and her little group will not be the biggest threat to Remnant that would be us.
Grimmlin. Oh and Amata Kihara doesn't actually truly work for Salem, he is a member of Grimmlin as well, and I know you two have pretty little history, keep that in mind One Way Road."
Thor said with a smile like child who just came back from an amusement park, then before everyone's eyes vanished in a burst of speed that shook the ground. Accelerator walked away taking the warning that Thor gave him to heart.
Little did neither Thor, or Accelerator know there was a much bigger threat then even Grimmlin on the board. A hidden enemy, no one would be prepared for, and they were about to make their first move.
Part 12.
Salem was sitting in her throne, she had just received news that Raven Branwen decided to join her in getting the relic of knowledge, Salem currently had a floating Grimm in front of her that looked like a jellyfish with a magical screen in it, Arthur Watts was visible in the Grimm, this creature was how Salem, discreetly spoke with her followers without Atlas, or anyone else in Remnant tracing it. Amata Kihara also had another contact method, for her he created, which would allow her too speak directly into the mind of someone, even without magic.
She had to admit that man was true genius even more than Watts, however at the moment, Amata was currently in Atlas, he said something about visiting a family member, and wouldn't give too many details, Salem was actually starting to believe he was working against her, or at the very least, his plan would conflict with her's, but it didn't matter, Salem was confident, in her own power, her Grimm, and if she needed it she would call "that woman" to aid her, Salem had been planning to use her at some point, ironically Salem trusted, "her" the most out of everyone.
So much so that Salem even told her the true plan.
Watts was currently furious, screaming about Cinder.
"That damn girl is going to ruin everything! Over her grudge for a damn child! That bested her once!" Arthur yelled in anger. "If we went with my plan we would have the relic, and no one would even know it was missing, but she insisted on having her little revenge on Ruby Rose."
Salem was barely listening, as Watts ranted to her about Cinder, as long as she got the relic she didn't really care what happened, Salem knew even as a maiden there was truly no way Cinder Fall could kill Ruby Rose, if Ruby Rose came close to death, then Salem was sure "that power" would release, and "those would come out" as Ruby would awaken the secret strength of the Rose family just like Ruby's mother did when Salem fought her, so it would most likely end in Cinder's defeat. She instructed Cinder not to kill Ruby Rose.
But she highly doubted Cinder would listen to her, the girl had a quest for vengeance, and Salem knew this and she knew when they fought that, "that power" would awaken in Ruby just like it did in Summer. When Summer fought Salem she nearly killed her with, "that hidden power" Salem never knew the god of light hid something so powerful in the Rose family bloodline, a secret power that would make her completely unstoppable, none of Remnant could stand against her with Ruby Rose, and the Rose family grimoire at her side.
If Cinder died fighting Ruby Rose, it was really no loss, she would just find a new vessel for the maidens, since for some reason the maidens power conflicts with the power inside a Rose, she couldn't use Ruby as the vessel. She is not compatible with it.
"Arthur it doesn't matter how it happens as long as it happens, if Cinder fails to retrieve the relic, she will be punished." Salem said. "I doubt she will retrieve it, mark my words this will fail, an-" Salem deactivated her Grimm before he could finish.
Salem was getting tired of being mommy for her group of adults, they always complained to her when one of them does something that the other doesn't like, like little kids tattling on each other, she really didn't care about all their problems, and issues with each other.
(At this point I will have to join the battle my self, as my subordinates can't seem to do anything right, and that means-)
Salem's thoughts were interrupted when black smoke filled the room, she remained seated, but still prepared for anything, the smoke cleared, and standing in the center of the room, was what looked a walking skeleton in a fancy looking black suit, it's head was engulfed in black fire, and it's hands had black fire around them as well, it had on fancy looking black slacks and black dress shoes it was also wearing a top hat, there was also a circle of purple fire surrounding it's feet.
Salem looked at the creature in awe she had never seen a creature like it, it wasn't a Grimm, and it didn't look human, or even alive she didn't even understand how it was walking since it was nothing but a skeleton, it shouldn't have the strength even to stand let alone walk.
Salem looked at the fire coming from the creature first off, it was black and the fire ring around it's feet was purple those were not natural fire colors, and the fire didn't seem to burn anything around it, or it's clothes, which brought her to her next question, why was it wearing clothes? it wouldn't have to. She doubted it had anything to hide, she was pretty sure it didn't have a skeletal penis, or anything like that, but that was not what worried her about this thing.
(Whatever this thing is, it must be someone's spell, since I can't be affected by an illusion semblance, and it doesn't even look like an illusion, it looks physical, question is it hostile? And who else in Remnant can use magic like this in Remnant? Besides Ozma and I? I doubt this is Ozma so what could it be?) Salem thoughts, were soon answered as the creature finally spoke. "It is nice to finally meet you avatar of Zoulexivar." The creature said.
It's voice had the volume of a young man, it sounded like a man maybe early twenties, this confused Salem first off it spoke and had a voice, she has made magical constructions before, and they didn't speak, plus what was it talking about saying she was the avatar of some Zoulexivar. (who the hell is Zoulexivar?)
"What are you talking about? Who is Zoulexivar?" Salem decided to keep it talking, and distracted so she could destroy it, she knew about magical constructions they were like summoning's, and they were easily destroyed, so all she had to do was strike it once to destroy it, then find and kill it's summoner, which shouldn't be difficult since the summoner would have to be nearby to keep the signal.
"You never learned the names of light and darkness did you?" It asked. "Their names?" Salem never knew they had names she, like the rest of Remnant just thought they were just called light and darkness. "Yes their names are Zaviar and Zoulexivar, they believe they can oppose-" It was cut off when a purple bolt of lightning shot from Salem's hand at it.
It did nothing to defend itself, and allowed the bolt to hit it, the bolt of magical lightning struck the creature, but it did nothing too it, the creature stood still with a smile on it's face.
After the bolt disappeared, it continued talking like it wasn't just attacked by a powerful magic spell. "Well as I was saying, before I was so rudely interrupted... Zaviar and Zoulexivar believe themselves to be able to oppose us... magic gods that they can eradicate us, so we are here to prove them wrong.
But we are not here to destroy Remnant, we are here to take it from them, we may change the phase once or so, but that is not our intention we will only change the phase if provoked to that point.
While Remnant will suffer, and many will die, it will not be outright destroyed, there is actually something else we are intrested in as well, I will keep that a secret, I was simply intrested in meeting you, since you are the avatar of Zoulexivar." The creature explained. There were terms Salem didn't understand.
(What is this thing talking about? Zoulexivar is the god of darkness? and I am his avatar? My magic spell didn't affect it at all, and what the fuck is a magic god? What the hell is this thing? I need answers.) Salem was not sure if this thing would attack her, and she wasn't sure she could win if it did.
"First tell me what you are." Salem demanded. The creature smiled and spoke. "Well I was once human like you, but I am one of those who mastered magic, and ascended beyond the limitations of the human body. I became a magic god by giving up my soul, and accepting the key to the underworld I became the greek god of the dead.
I am, the MagicGod Hades." Hades explained. Salem was shocked at this revelation, even she still had a soul, this was something so far beyond anything she knew, or understood.
She looked at Hades, and continued to ask her questions she was not entirely sure he was telling the truth, but even so she didn't feel like this Hades came here for any reason more, then to gloat and show off. "So you're not a magical summoning... and you mentioned something about not wanting to destroy Remnant... so what are your intentions?" Salem asked.
"I told you before we don't intend to destroy Remnant, but I can not give you the full reason why we are here either, but I will explain to you about us and what we are, how hopeless it is for you to try and fight us."
"You see we magic gods have infinite power, we normally would destroy the mortal realm just by being in it, however my partner Kronos, and I were recently attacked by a magician who once had the chance to become a magic god, but decided not too he instead made it his mission to rid the world of magic, this man's name was Aleister Crowley."
"He recently attacked us magic gods hitting, us with a special spell that is slowly weakening us, we believe that eventually we will return to being human because of this spell."
"Now don't get the wrong idea, we may be weaker because of this, but that doesn't mean we don't have enough power to destroy the world if we wanted to. However we believe that Remnant has something of interest that can bring back our infinite power, and destroy Aleister's spell, and since Aleister can't freely cross into this world himself, he won't be able to stop us from getting it."
"He believes his main plan, and his secondary plan from Academy City, will stop us... it is truly laughable, the fool left open dimensional temporal portals, that have been randomly bringing people from his world to this one, but even if he decided to send "World Rejector" or "Imagine Breaker" to this world, it would not stop us it would not change anything."
"Aleister is a man who's plans always fail, no matter how much he tries." Hades explained.
Salem was lost by most of it, apparently now there was another world evolved? She began to wonder if maybe Kakine was from that other world Hades spoke of, it would explain the boy's strange power, and why she couldn't find anything on him, or anything showing his existence in Remnant before a month and a half ago, she just wanted to know one more thing.
"You mentioned me being the avatar of darkness what did you mean?" Salem hated the gods, and she would never be anything for either of them. "Yes you see while the brothers may agree from time to time, light and darkness will always conflict, you are the avatar of Zoulexivar.
"Zoulexivar chose you as his new avatar when he felt the power you had, beforeyou entered the Grimm pool, he knew you would go there, and saw darkness in you that interested him. Originally you, Salem were going to be his key to victory against his brother, in their never ending battle."
"Then Zaviar decided to retaliate by making Ozma his avatar, after both Zaviar, and Zoulexivar split their power to create the relics, this made them much weaker, Infact it is very similar to us magic gods current situation."
"Currently Kronos and I are only able to use about one quintillionth of one quintillionth, infinitely of our full power, in other words about -99.9% of 100% of our power, but even with that minuscule amount of power we are currently holding, we could still easily destroy this universe if we so chose."
Even at our absolute lowest amount of our power, we still hold the world in our hands, and could change the phase at least once." Hades explained. "This meeting was both a chance to meet you, and a warning, letting you know that we are here." Hades said. "A warning?" Salem knew there was some reason why this supposed, infinite power being made himself known.
"Yes... I am afraid that perfect world you wish for with Ozma, and you're family can not exist... we have other plans for Remnant." Hades stated simply.
"Your plans as well Zaviar and Zoulexivar's war with each other conflict with our desires, and goals in Remnant." Hades explained. Salem looked shocked for a few reasons, one was the explanation of the kind of power a magic god has, and another was learning the gods are still at war with each other, and the last was learning that these powerful magic gods are going to destroy everything she worked for, but Salem was not going to let that happen, she would kill this damn, "Magic God" here and now.
"If our goals conflict then I guess that means we are enemies correct?" Salem asked. "I suppose that would be the case." Hades replied. "Well...I show my enemies...no mercy!"
With that Salem shot a ball of energy at Hades putting more then 80% of her power into it. It hit Hades sending him flying through the wall, and outside he slammed into the ground, and left a large crater.
Salem quickly moved to see the damage, but was shocked when Hades stood up, and was not even phased in the slightest, it was as if he is truly invincible.
He simply waved his hand and the ground opened, and out came zombies and skeletons, there were 100 of each they swarmed Salem, as she was blasting each one as fast as she could.
"Being the god of the dead I hold the key to the realm of souls, and can freely control all of the creatures of the underworld, and bring them to my aid including the darkest creatures and souls of Tartarus...I am Hades the strongest Necromancer." Hades explained as Salem finished destroying the zombies, and skeletons however, Hades simply brought out 200 of each this time.
"Fine two can play this game." Salem summoned all the Grimm around and even created a few more as a battle between grimms and zombies began.
Most of the grimm Salem created were quickly dealt with by the zombies, luckily the nevermores made quick work of the zombies, and most of the skeletons.
It was like a battle between two necromancers, well one necromancer and one summoner. Salem summoned more grimm, and Hades raised more zombies.
Hades decided to amp it up and raised two large bone dragons, from the depths of Tartarus that breathed black fire.
The dragons changed the battle in his favor, as they began to destroy Salem's Grimm easily.
(Damn he can just infinitely summon as many as he wants, and he doesn't have to fatigue himself, on top of that, it doesn't take much, or really anything for him to summon something. Also these damn corpses take a long ass time to kill.) Salem thought.
Salem summoned another horde of Grimm, she needed to keep the zombies, and skeletons busy so she could summon some goliaths, and end this battle.
Salem was literally putting her all into this fight, while Hades on the other hand was simply just having fun like a cat playing with it's food, he was holding back by 99% even of his current power, he wanted to see just what Salem was capable of, and so far he was extremely disappointed, he wondered if maybe he should end this fight already.
Salem was able to summon a few goliaths, and they quickly took down his zombies and skeletons, his bone dragons however melted the goliaths and many other Grimm with their black fire.
Salem knew she needed something that could could take down these dragons, she had been wanting to try something for a while now, and now was a perfect time to test it.
Salem waved her hands, and large pool of Grimm liquid formed and out came a large creature, it had many snake heads and could breathe fire.
"A hydra huh? Quite impressive but you know, Hercules killed the king of hydra by cauterizing the necks before the heads could grow back, so tell me how does your hydra fair against mine." Hades waved a hand, and from the crack he created a large hydra with a thousand heads came out, and it was ready to kill.
Salem looked on in actual fear not just at the massive creature, but from how easily Hades was able to summon it, he didn't even have to try, at this rate Salem only had two last things she could use against this monster known as Hades, and that was her silver eyed Grimm she had never tested them before, but they are the only thing she could think of, the only last thing if that didn't work she could do other then that. Was to call "her" but she didn't think she would need her, at least she hoped she didn't.
Hades was still kind of bored, but he was starting to enjoy himself, as he watched the two hydra fight he doubted she would last, if he brought out the kraken, honestly he didn't even need the kraken to end this fight.
His hydra quickly took down Salem's hydra, and Salem constructed a purple and yellow energy beam and swung it like a blade, she cut through all one thousand heads of the hydra, while also cauterizing the wounds so the heads couldn't grow back.
"Impressive you are finally starting to show me your power, I have to say, you were able take out the king hydra much faster then Hercules, but that may be because he was kinda dumb, and it took him a long time to figure out how to do it, ha ha by the time he finally took it down, it had grown a million heads." Hades praised, finally starting to enjoy the fight. He then smiled wide and raised both hands in the air.
(I wasn't going to do this but, I would like to see where her powers limits are.) Hades thought, planning to push Salem to her absolute best.
"It's time for you to meet the kraken, and I want test you so I will also throw in Cerberus." Hades said, then a very giant zombified creature came out of the ground it was about 40 to 50ft tall and had large tentacles, and four large arms, after that a huge three headed dog came out of the ground it's eyes were glowing red, and it must of been at least 10ft tall. Salem thought fast and began summoning grimm about a thousand of different Grimm then she got to work summoning a leviathan and her hound, she had been saving for a rainy day and just to be sure she called her as well.
Hades watched as a creature about the same height as the kraken, came out of a grimm pool and then a creature that looked like a dog but seemingly different, formed in front of Salem.
They began to attack, with all the other Grimm. The kraken made very quick work of most of the Grimm, more than 60% and Cerberus destroyed many others, the hound that fought Cerberus was able to do some damage but was soon killed.
When it died it was different then the rest, most Grimm didn't leave behind skeletal remains, but this one did. "Interesting." Hades said mostly to himself.
Before he even noticed Salem summoned about five of the leviathan grimm, and they attacked the kraken, and they were doing well but the kraken was still superior.
Hades decided to play a game with Salem, so he raised something new. Salem was shocked when she saw her hound being summoned by Hades, though it was a more zombie like version of it, it was still The Hound.
"What?! How?! Did you summon that?!" Salem couldn't believe another person if you could even call Hades that, was able to summon her Grimm, and not just the normal ones it was one of her hounds.
"You must of been confused about my power Salem. I didn't summon anything, I am a necromancer I simply reanimated it to my side, like I said before, I have control of the souls of the underworld. You're other Grimm are empty shells without souls, so I can't bring them back to life, but when anything with a soul dies it's soul goes to the underworld, to the realm of souls, and I Hades am the underworld, the god of the dead, since that Grimm had a soul, and was once a person his soul went to me when he died. I my self have no soul but I control all of the souls of the dead, because every soul that dies goes to Hades, to some it is also known as hell or the devil's kingdom, I guess in some ways you could say in christianity, I am known as the devil, or Satan, or Lucifer... but that is who I am, the keeper of souls... Hades." Hades explained.
Salem couldn't believe this he wasn't summoning creatures, he was bringing souls back to life to fight for him, she actually found it disgraceful to bring someone, or something that already died back from its resting place, just to fight for you then be sent back.
The silver eyed Grimm are still alive they just don't have their own thought process, and will do whatever Salem commands, but this was bringing back soul for use whenever he wanted.
In all honesty Salem had never heard of something so outlandish before. (why do they come back with deformed bodies, that look like walking corpses, or skeletons was it an incomplete resurrection?) Salem thought, just as a new player arived on the battlefield.
Salem and Hades bothwatched as a silver beam of light cut the kraken in half with no effort.
(She's here.) Salem thought with a smile as she was sure Hades was done for now that, "she" arrived.
A woman landed on the ground next to Salem, she had a humanoid Grimm like body just like Salem, and she had on a white and red outfit with a red skirt, and white boots, the woman also had wings made of a silver energy, one side of her head had shoulder length dark red hair, and the other side had silver hair, she was wearing a white hood and She also had one Grimm eye, and one Silver eye that was glowing with energy.
She turned back to Salem and smiled. "Are you okay Mistress?" The woman asked. And Salem smiled as well. "I am okay Summer." Salem replied. Yes this woman was Summer Rose, the mother of Ruby Rose a woman who freely gave herself to Salem, and decided she would always protect her, when she learned the truth of Ozpin, and what he did, how has been lying to everyone about what Salem wanted, and about himself.
Summer after learning the truth of Ozpin's lies, decided to protect Salem's dream, and accept her gift a power that made her stronger then she had ever been, and faster then even light.
She became a secret disciple of Salem and, the strongest one of all.
She still watches Ruby grow up, and almost stepped in once when Ruby was about to be severely hurt, or killed by these thugs once, but luckily that blonde girl who her daughter had grown so close to, was there to save her.
Summer knew her daughter's life was safe in that girl's hands. One day she will explain everything to Ruby, she just hoped Ruby would be able to forgive her, and understand why she made the choice she made.
Hades looked at the new person standing next to Salem. "So this is your trump card? Do you really believe this woman can defeat a magic god?" Hades waved his hand and a large black dragon came out of the ground. It was massive, and had a wing spand of about 25ft the dragon breathed a black fire at Salem and Summer, but Summer created a shield of energy that blocked the fire with no issue.
"I don't know what a magic god is, but if you want to jeopardize Salem's dream, then I won't hesitate to destroy you." Summer moved faster then even Hades could see, and in the next moment the dragons head had been removed.
When he looked a Summer standing next to the corpse of the dragon, he saw that she now had a scythe made from a strange energy, that looked like the same energy Salem used to create Grimm.
(So she can use magic as well, instead of turning her into a Grimm Salem gave Summer a portion of her own power, should I keep bringing creatures from Tartarus, or should I fight her my self.) Hades thought, as he debated what he should do next.
However he didn't have enough time to decide because Summer faster then he could react kicked him in the chest with enough force to send him flying he slammed into a large rock, after creating a small canyon from his travel. Summer looked on but it didn't seem her attack did any damage to whatever he was. Hades simply stood back up.
Summer moved quickly and in a second she was behind Hades, she swung her scythe expecting it to cut right through but to her surprise, her scythe stopped the moment it touched him, like it was stopped by some invisible force.
Hades lazily swung his arm hitting Summer and sending her flying half way across the battlefield, she landed on her feet, and shot a ball of powerful black energy that tore the ground apart as it flew toward him, however the moment it reached Hades he simply swatted it away like he was swatting away a fly.
Both Summer, and Salem couldn't believe the kind of power Hades displayed, what was worse is that he wasn't even trying.
Not many even get the privilege of fighting a magic god, but for those very few who get to say they survived an encounter, with a magic god are truly the luckiest people alive.
If you get to say you killed a magic god, then you are probably lying and have never even met one before.
Hades watched as both Salem and Summer charged up magical energy. They combined each other's power, and shot a combined beam of energy at him, it traveled fast, and burned the ground to molten lava in it's travel.
This time Hades didn't even try to block, or protect himself he simply walked into the beam, and allowed it to hit him.
The beam slammed into him sending him into the sky, Summer quickly flew into the sky, and kicked Hades back to the ground with all her strength plus magical energy enhancing her, and aura enhancing her as well, Salem also created a large ball of energy from the sky, and pulled it down on top of Hades as he slammed into the ground creating a massive crater.
Summer appeared next to Salem by a Grimm pool. They both watched as all the dust cleared up, only for them to find Hades standing in the crater, the only issue was Hades wasn't dead, or even hurt, they put every single ounce of their power into that attack, hoping to finally end the fight. But it didn't do anything, Hades didn't even suffer a scratch, absolutely nothing happened to the magic god.
"H- h- he- he re- really is in- invincible." Salem was at a lost for words, this wasn't like Kakine, this wasn't even like the gods of light and darkness, this was impossible, this was on whole different level of power, it was beyond anything she thought was possible.
He was truly an invincible immortal monster, and nothing could do anything to him, no matter what they did they would never defeat, or even scratch this monster in front of them. For the first time in thousands of years Salem was terrified.
She even wondered if someone like Hades could actually permanently kill her, he probably could, he was a true god that couldn't even be touched, and to think that he said this was only -99.9% of his true power, and he wasn't even using the full amount of that.
This was literally what a nanometer of his power was capable of, she couldn't believe that Hades was once human, it didn't seem possible that a human could reach a level like this.
Hades was bored, the fight became boring, and he decided to end it, he still had to go to Atlas for the staff while Kronos was in Vacuo for the sword.
"Well this really has been fun, and quite entertaining, but I think it is time to end it, I have things to do so I can't hang around here all day." As Hades said this the circle of purple fire surrounding his feet changed to green and began to glow bright and grow bigger.
Salem immediately sensed the danger and quickly put and energy shield around Summer, who was confused what was happening then, she used her magic to telekineticly push Summer in the Grimm pool next to her.
It was the right move because in the next moment, the fire around Hades exploded with the force of fifteen nuclear bombs going off at once. The green fire went through the entire area turning everything to ash, and within seconds Salem, her castle, and her entire island was destroyed, with no trace of anything left behind.
Part 13.
A man owned a small bar near Mistral, he was cleaning the counter when a black cat came through the door.
It jumped on the counter and it looked at the man.
"Hey little guy you hungry?" The man asked, then he went in the back to grab some meat. The cat pointed it's paw at the counter and a bump of cocaine appeared on the counter and the cat snorted it all up it's nose.
(That's good shit.)
The man came back out with a few raw pieces of beef on a plate. "Here you go budy." the man said as he placed the plate on the counter.
The cat looked at the plate and then back at the man, it looked at plate then the man again. "Well aren't you gonna eat it?" The man asked.
The cat looked back at the plate then the man again. "Well aren't ya gonna cook it?" The cat asked and the man screamed at seeing a talking cat. W- w- what? Y- you c- can t- talk?" The man stuttered at the cat confused out of his mind. "Yeah ya dumb fuck, that's what I am doing, that's what happens when ya lips move and words come out." The cat had an american urban style accent but it was high pitched, although a man from Remnant probably wouldn't recognize that.
"How can you talk? Your a cat? A kitten at that!" The man asked. "Well I am not technically a cat, I am just using this cat's body more like I am stuck it's body, I am a demon the name is Zooloo." Zooloo introduced himself to the man. "I see well um what are you here for then?" The man asked he never spoke to a demon before.
"Well it's real fucking funny story, there I am in hell, minding my own business, fucking bitches doing drugs, you know the works, then my superior, Taammuz, comes to me telling me I have been contracted by the boss, you know the big guy, Beelzebub? He apparently just out of the fucking blue, Contracted me to some blonde girl, Frenda Seivelun. Then he sends me to this fucking realm! And to top it off sticks my ass in the body a cat, a fucking cat! Can you believe that shit!? Anyway make a long story short, now I got to find the bitch, and finalize our contract... yeah it's fucked." Zooloo explained.
The man was just confused and didn't understand at all, still in awe about a talking cat. About an hour passes.
"Still processing huh?" Zooloo asked.
The man sat there quietly still shocked.
Zooloo had also cooked his meat with hellfire, and ate it already. "Well... uh yeah... I'm gonna to go." Zooloo said awkwardly.
(At least he didn't faint.) Zooloo thought as he left the bar. As if on que the man fainted.
(Spoke too soon, maybe I shouldn't have used magic, or done any cocaine in front if him, I don't know, maybe it's my fault.) The cat continued on his journey.
Part 14.
Cinder and Kakine were both exhausted, but it hadn't been Cinder's first time like it was for Kakine, however it was way better than her first time was, and Kakine was actually quite good for a first timer.
"You did really well for a first time." Cinder said. "I'm actually a bit mad I myself for not doing that sooner, it feels great" Kakine said. "Well aren't you glad I was your first?" Cinder asked with a smirk. "Yeah, I didn't realize I liked being dominated like that, I am usually the dominant one in anything else, but I liked it,m... and it's not like I could feel everything." Kakine admitted.
"What do you mean?" Cinder asked. "I can decide to feel what I want to feel, thanks to my dark matter." Kakine said. Cinder smiled sadistically. "I see so I can try a lot of things with you then." Cinder said in sultry tone.
(I feel like I'm in one of those movies where, the couples have sex and then smoke a cigarette, and read the news paper afterwords, and drink bottle of Gatorade.) Kakine smiled to himself when he imagined, Cinder holding a cigarette, reading a news paper, and drinking a bottle of Gatorade.
Right at that moment the door opened, and Cinder and Kakine had forgotten, that they were still naked in bed. "What the fuck?!" Emerald Sustrai was more than shocked at the sight before her.
While Mercury was actually impressed that Kakine was able to bed the fire queen. "Nice bro." Mercury said with a thumbs up, this earned him a slap In the back of the head from Emerald. "I think I you two have some explaining to do." Emerald said like a mother.
Mercury didn't understand how Emerald didn't see this coming, the signs were all there. (I bet she knew this would happen, but she is so obsessed with Cinder, for whatever reason she didn't want to believe it.) Mercury thought.
"What we do in private is our business, do not mistake your place Emerald." Cinder said shutting Emerald down. "Yes mam." Emerald replied. (Just like a dog.) Mercury thought. "Now leave the room for a moment, so we can get dressed." Cinder said.
When Emerald, and Mercury were outside the room, he looked at Emerald, who was conflicted and obviously angry. "So Em, are we next?" Mercury asked half jokingly.
Emerald just glared at him for a moment, then punched him in the face, and walked away. "You so want me." Mercury teased, while he rubbed his throbbing right cheek, that now donned a red mark.
Part 15.
Blake Belladonna walked through the night streets of Menagerie, she was currently on her way to meet Ilia who told her she wanted to switch sides, that she was done with the white fang, Blake could smell a trap, so she decided she would set a little trap of her own to capture Ilia.
Blake walked to the meeting spot she, and Ilia agreed on, but Ilia was no where to be found, the next moment a net flew from a nearby building and tied her up, as she fell to the ground, Blake struggled but realized, the sticky substance the net was made of was spider webbing most likely by a spider faunus.
A few white fang members came out of the darkness, one of them a girl with short white hair, still had the web attached to her hand. (So she is a spider faunus.) Blake thought.
"Well done Trifa." One of the members said to the spider faunus.
Ilia came out of the shadows and made herself visible. "Ilia don't do this! You still have chance! You don't have to be this, person!" Blake pleaded. "You just don't get it Blake! I am doing this because it is what's right for the faunus! The humans aren't going to listen to peaceful protests! They are never going to accept us! Not unless we show them we are not to be messed with, if they don't respect us then they will fear us." Ilia replied with disdain in her voice. "This isn't going to change anything! Blood shed will just bring more blood shed! The white fang is going to start a war if this keeps up." Blake said.
"You know Blake, I always watched you." Ilia admitted softly. "I would watch the way you looked at Adam... I wanted you to look at me that way. "Ilia." Blake looked at Ilia's face with realizing expression. "Well it's too late for that now isn't it, you would probably sooner choose, Hanano over me." Ilia said, then turned to Trifa. "We're taking her to Adam." Ilia said. But then Blake quickly called out "Now!" And in the next moment Blake's body vanished out of thin air. "Shit!" Ilia said then quickly turned around blocking a strike from Sun, as they began to battle however, Ilia was the superior fighter and quickly took Sun down knocking him to the ground, and kicking his weapon out of his hands.
Sun quickly crawled over to retrieve his weapon, but Ilia stomped on his hand before he could reach it. "Aaaaaaahhh!" Sun screamed as Ilia pressed down, and twisted her boot on his hand, however in that next moment a small metal spike stuck it's self in Ilia's left shoulder, do to teleportation courtesy of one Kuroko Shirai. Ilia jumped away from Sun dodging a kick from Kuroko. Kuroko quickly grabbed Sun and teleported away with him. (Damn it, I hate that stupid teleporter girl, stupid bitch.) Ilia thought. (I have no choice, I will have to bring in Umidori.) Ilia took out her scroll, and called the girl known as Umidori Kuroyoru.
Part 16.
Tetikou Kakine woke up and looked at the clock, it was 1:46 am he and Cinder slept in the same bed, while Emerald slept on the other bed, and forced Mercury to sleep on the floor, Mercury had a sleeping bag, and he made a makeshift bed out of couch cushions, and sheets, and he took the spare covers from the closet.
The hotel itself wasn't super luxurious or anything, but it was quite nice for the most part, Kakine honestly didn't really require sleep, or food, or drink anymore since his body was made completely of dark matter, but he could still dream so he slept anyway, and he was still able to taste food even though his immortal body didn't need it.
Kakine looked out to the balcony to see Cinder was awake too, she was just sitting out there looking at the stars for whatever reason.
Kakine walked out. "Couldn't sleep?" He asked as he walked through the sliding glass door out onto the balcony. "I slept a little bit." Cinder said.
When Kakine stood next to her, and leaned on the balcony she gave him quick chaste kiss on the lips, he returned the kiss, they separated and Cinder continued to stare out into the night sky. "What about you why are you up?" Cinder asked.
Kakine thought to himself about it last night, Cinder was his girlfriend now, and he actually really liked her, he was debating last night weather, or not he should tell Cinder the truth about Academy City and what espers are, if he was serious about being with Cinder, he figured he would have to tell her the truth about himself, and maybe this would be a good time to do it, but before that there is something he really wanted to know.
"Hey Cinder how does magic work?" Kakine asked.
Cinder looked over at the boy surprised by the question, but answered anyway.
"Well magic is a bit complicated, to put it simply it is an energy that is either granted by the gods, or a person can be born with it, there is a way to steal it from someone that already has it, but only Salem has figured out how that works, it is an ability she gave to me."
"But with magic it is very different then science, but at the same time it is also similar in a way, there are a few differences between the two."
"For example science has certain rules and laws, where as magic does not, there's no laws of magic, it can do just about anything as long as the caster has the proper knowledge of the effects they are trying to achieve." Cinder explained. "What exactly can magic do though? And how does it work?" Kakine asked.
Cinder was a bit confused in Kakine's sudden interest in magic, but didn't think much of it. "Since magic has no laws to follow, it has basically an unlimited amount of effects it's capable of, like controlling nature, or the mind, or even space and the universe, it can even be possible to have power over life and death."
"But while magic may be unlimited it is not easily infinite, like I said before magic is an energy that the caster has learn to control, but also expand and that is the difficult part, becoming stronger in magic. When comes down to someone like me, I am an average caster at the moment, and it didn't really take me that long to get passed beginner level, but I had the help of an expert caster, Salem tought me everything I know about magic, and she hasn't told me everything, like how to control her Grimm."
Cinder explained a little upset about the Grimm part, but she knew that Salem didn't fully trust her even now.
Kakine leaned over the balcony looking at the ground far below. "So when you used telekinesis against me, during our sparring you didn't have to calculate the distance of the target, then take in to account the weight of the object, while at same time making sure nothing outside got in the way, allowing you to focus on only a single target?" Kakine asked, while explaining the way telekinesis would work for espers.
Cinder looked at him wide eyed, though she did remembered Kakine told her his semblance worked through intense, and highly advanced calculations.
(Does Kakine have to calculate that much everytime he uses his power? That sounds like a pain in the ass.) Cinder thought.
"No I don't have to calculate anything, I just cast my magic, and will it to happen, I only have to calculate when I use my bow, and even then it is not that intense, besides at this point it is simply instinct when I use my bow." Cinder said. "You said magic can become infinite, what did you mean by that?" The boy asked.
He now knew magic was nothing like esper abilities, but still wondered if reaching so called infinite magic, was anything like reaching, SYSTEM the fabled level 6, and becoming an Absolute Esper. "Well like I mentioned, someone who truly masters magic would have infinite power, I don't know how to tell you how much power that is since not even Salem has achieved it, and it honestly sounds impossible to reach, but Salem once told me that one with infinite power should be able to distort the world, or reset time, and control reality."
"That infinite power means infinite reach, anything and everything would be possible for that caster, even invincibility. It sounds incredible but sadly is unreachable" Cinder explained as she explained infinite power, she explained it with passion and heart, like her only goal in life was to reach this level of power.
"I see so that is that's magic huh?" Kakine asked in a bit of a whisper. "Basically yes, but why were you so interested in magic all of the sudden?" Cinder asked.
Kakine knew it was time and hoped Cinder wouldn't get mad him for lying, and basically making up stories. "Well I was mainly asking because I wondered if magic was anything like esper powers." Kakine admitted confusing Cinder, since she had heard the term esper before but she wasn't able to look Into what it was, since Amata removed the files from his computer after she hacked into it. "Esper powers? This is not the first time I heard that, Amata Kihara had a file on his computer called The Remnant Esper Project, or something like that." Cinder explained.
(Remnant espers? Amata is creating espers in Remnant?) Kakine's thoughts were interrupted. "So what is an esper? Since you seem to know?" Cinder asked. Kakine debated for a moment in his head, where he should begin.
"Well first off what if I told you I am not from Remnant, would you believe me?" Kakine asked. Cinder looked at the boy completely baffled.
(Not from Remnant? what is he saying is he trying to say he is from another world? Like an alien? And if he is, is Amata from the same world?) Cinder was full of questions. "I- What do you mean not from Remnant?" (Best to just see what he says, if this a joke it's not funny.) Kakine looked at Cinder with a serious expression on his face. "I am from a planet called Earth, and on that planet there is a country called Japan, and in Japan is a place known as Academy City, it is city that was built to develop esper abilities, you remember when told you about personal reality?"
Cinder remembered that talk they had when Kakine explained a little a bit about his semblance or esper ability she now assumed, she was both confused and fascinated. "Yes I remember you spoke about a power system, that would allow create your own reality to manipulate the true reality, or something close to that." Cinder answered.
"Exactly that is what makes an esper's power work, through personal reality, and quantum theory, and much like a semblance being a byproduct of aura, we espers have something called an AIM Defusion Field, that is an energy field created by our abilities basically a byproduct of our personal realities." Kakine was trying to explain it in a way Cinder would understand, by comparing esper abilities to semblances, and AIM energy to aura.
"Espers in Academy City have a power leveling system, with level 0 being the weakest and level 5 the strongest, I my self am a level 5 infact I am the #2 level 5, just under Accelerator who is the #1 top ranked esper." Kakine explained, and Cinder was fully interested now it was fascinating to learn about. "So is Accelerator stronger than you?"
Cinder asked very curious. "Partly yes but that doesn't mean I can't ever beat him, Accelerator has the ability of vector manipulation, he can manipulate the magnitude and direction of any physical force, so things like momentum, air, gravity, velocity, kinetic energy ect..." Kakine explained.
"But I am able to manipulate and control a power that doesn't exist, and doesn't follow normal physical laws, so it can combat Accelerator, since it works outside of physics, so overall when it comes to espers at our level it just depends on who has better calculating power, you see esper abilities require intense advanced calculations to work properly, and Accelerator has the calculating power of over a hundred super computers.
"However I have taken my ability to a new level, by making my self immortal." This statement made Cinder do a double take. "Wait I'm sorry did you say your immortal? How?" Cinder asked. Then she continued before Kakine could answer. "I mean I know you heal fast, but that doesn't mean your immortal." Cinder added, very sceptical about the immortal statement.
"Well that is the first thing your wrong about, I don't heal I rebuild, you see a while ago I fought Accelerator. I lost the fight, and not only did Accelerator beat me he almost killed me, by tearing my body apart, however a woman named Yuitsu Kihara, harvested my body parts, and organs keeping me in a sensory deprivation tank, where my mind was still active."
(Yuitsu Kihara? So I was right, Amata Kihara is from Kakine's world, that explains a lot about the weird stuff that man creates, things even the Atlas Science Division, wouldn't understand, and that's why he was tracking vibrational frequencies, Kakine's planet must vibrate on a different frequency than Remnant, so all those people he was tracking are from Earth, so how many more people are there? Some of them said, unknown name, and if something is bringing people to Remnant from another world how many more will come? Now that I remember it, Frenda Seivelun was on that list, so she is also from Earth.)
"In that tank I eventually extended the control of my dark matter, to my own body and I was able to replace every body part with dark matter, by doing this I was able to cheat death, and extend beyond it, now that my body is made completely of dark matter, I can instantly rebuild any damage done to me, and I no longer require food, drink, or sleep I still do those things though because I can, it also gave me a better control of my ability then ever before, and using information from the Misaka Network, I created my own Dark Matter Network" Kakine finished.
That brought back another memory from Amata's computer, Cinder remembered a project called Project Level 6 Shift she glossed over, that mentioned the Misaka Network something about Accelerator killing Railgun clones, at first she thought a railgun was some kind of weapon but now she is sure it was another esper, probably another level 5 like Kakine and Accelerator.
(Wow this is so much to take in, Wait is Frenda an esper as well? And I bet Aihana Etsu is one too, how many of these espers are on Remnant?) Cinder thought.
"When I hacked into Amata Kihara's computer, I saw a file called Project Level 6 Shift, what was that exactly do you know?" Cinder asked.
Kakine looked at her for a moment then answered. "That was a project from the dark side of the city, that was supposed to make Accelerator a level 6 esper by having him kill 20,000 clones, after that number of victories he would become level 6" Kakine explained.
"So why is he still level 5 then?" Cinder asked. "From what I heard... he lost a fight to some level 0, and so the project was shut down." when Kakine explained it, Cinder chuckled a bit. "How is the supposed strongest esper lose to someone so weak." She laughed. "Well there is a possibility, my theory is that he was defeated by Aleister's weapon." Kakine said.
Cinder stopped laughing. "Aleister's weapon?" Cinder asked. "Yes there is a boy in Academy City named Touma Kamijou, Kaibi Gokusai from my group School, once got a hold of some top secret files, that explained about a power called Imagine Breaker, held by a level 0 esper named Touma Kamijou, the file, didn't explain how his ability worked, but it did explain that the city was unable to messure it and that was why he was put at level 0, it explained that the power could combat high level espers because of it's "nature" and even though I find this complete outlandish, there is rumor in Academy City."
"That claims there is a boy, a level 0 with the power to negate anything with his right hand, if that rumor is true then it would explain how Accelerator lost, something like that could negate his power completely, and after September 30th, the rumor only got bigger, with people claiming they witnessed him fight a woman using a power, with a different set of rules, that I am sure now was magic, that was able to negate both her power, and even negate the power of an angel afterwards, if this is true then, that means, Imagine Breaker can negate, esper abilities, magic, and even the acts of god." Kakine explained with scepticism in his voice, almost if he was speaking hypothetically.
However Cinder was shocked by this.
(He can negate magic, if that is true, that means he could easily destroy any Grimm and maybe even kill Salem or remove her immortality. I hope this Touma Kamijou didn't come to Remnant as well, and if he did I hope he would be on our side.)
Cinder thought, as it would be a huge problem for a person like Touma to join Ozma's side. Everything was a lot to process, Kakine's immortality, The Misaka Network, Esper Powers, Touma Kamijou, Academy City, Aleister, Accelerator, level 5's, level 6 it all sounded insane, and incredible, and strange all at the same time, and she was sure there was a lot more that even Kakine didn't know.
"Well what do you think? I know I didn't tell the truth before, and i'm sorry for that but-" he was cut off when Cinder pressed her lips to his, and shoved her tongue in his mouth, her tongue moved around in his mouth for moment before she separated them, with a string of saliva connecting there mouths for a moment before it broke.
Kakine actually found that he really enjoyed Cinder's assertiveness, and domination but also liked that she was soft, and kind somehow at the same time, and the two of them have much more in common, than he would have ever thought, it was almost as if they were made for each other.
"I understand why you hid this, but the fact that you told me means that you trust me with this, and if you trust me with this then I will trust you with something I never told anyone... not even Salem the full story." Cinder said.
Kakine looked confused what could she tell him? That she hasn't even told Salem about? who is her mother figure. "Tell me what?" The boy asked. Cinder looked down a sighed. "My full past." Cinder said as she looked at Kakine and he could see there was pain in her eyes, he could tell this would be a story of a very rough past.
Part 17.
Blake and Kuroko appeared at the entrance of her family home, it was currently on fire, and there were white fang members raiding the place.
Blake and Kuroko ran through the doors to find Blake's mother and father in a fight with two white fang members. Blake pulled out Gambol Shroud, and ran to help but was cut off when a young girl jumped in front of her, the same girl she fought before, UmidoriKuroyoru stood in front of Blake Belladonna, with her weapon already drawn.
The girl put her short swords in an ex like fashion, and licked her lips with a sadistic grin on her face.
Blake didn't know what to do right now she knew Umidori would chase her if she tried to run past her.
Blake turned to Kuroko. "Hey can you teleport my family to safety please?!" Blake asked.
Kuroko looked at Umidori and Blake, she knew Blake probably couldn't beat Umidori by herself, but as her judgement instincts kicked in, she knew getting Blake's family to safety was a bigger priority right now, so Kuroko just nodded then quickly teleported away.
Umidori looked at Blake, with a psychotic look as she was ready to rip Blake to peices. "Well then it looks like we get to have some uninterrupted time together, honey bun." Umidori mocked, then ran her tongue along one of her blades. "Let's do this." Umidori said.
Blake charged first swinging Gambol Shroud which Umidori blocked without issue, Umidori shot a bomber lance at Blake who created a shadow clone to take the hit she moved quickly behind Umidori, but the girl was quick to dodge the strike, and kicked Blake in the stomach, Blake coughed up saliva as she was sent across the room into a pillar.
"The last time we fought I analyzed that little semblance of yours, you can only create one clone at a time, and only to take the hit, they can't fight for you, so if I attack you in the middle of your movement you can't defend yourself, in other words your pathetic ability is useless, I can easily attack you every time you try to use it." Umidori said with a wide smile on her face that made her look psycho.
Blake stood up and then did something Umidori wasn't expecting, Blake ran straight at her, Umidori stabbed one of her swords into Blake, or so she thought as what she really stabbed her sword into was an ice clone, her hand was stuck in the ice.
Blake quickly jumped behind her and kicked Umidori in the back head, smashing her through the ice, and sending her across the room, Umidori rolled and bounced across the floor, and soon slamming into a wall stopping her. (She can use dust with her clones? Wait did she do that before?)
Umidori quickly got up and was actually a little angry. (I can't believe this bitch got a hit on me! how the fuck was she able to outsmart me!? I mean I have Accelerator's thought patterns for fuck sake!!!)
Umidori moved so fast she was a blur and swung a sword which Blake blocked, Umidori punched at Blake's face but she dodged and swung her weapon into Umidori's left side, doing quite a bit of damage to the girls aura and knocking her back, then Blake punched her in the face sending her into the floor.
Umidori jumped up and kicked Blake in chest sending her into the wall behind her. (Damn this girl is tough, she is highly skilled too, and that semblance I have to be careful, and try and take her down quickly... I need to work on breaking her aura, time to use that knew trick I learned, I don't just run away anymore now I can run towards.)
Blake thought then sent a shadow clone out that ran straight into Umidori, who had just finished getting up from the floor, this was a gravity dust clone that Blake sent, it slammed into Umidori sending her into the air, Blake then threw a fire clone into the air at Umidori, but she shot a bomber lance at it blowing it up, before it could reach her, but what she wasn't expecting was for there to be ice sickles to come flying at her from with in the smoke, which slammed into her aura, sending her back to the ground.
Umidori fell to the ground and landed on her feet. (So she is trying to quickly break my aura, by hitting me with small attacks to wear it down? Fine then.) In that next moment Umidori shot two bomber lances at Blake, one was calculated to hit the clone Blake would make, the second was calculated to hit the spot Blake would most likely move too, and as Umidori predicted Blake moved to exactly where the second bomber lance was, as it slammed into her taking off a huge chunk of aura, as she smashed through a pillar and it broke in half.
(Holy shit that semblance is strong, if I get hit by to many more of those, my aura will be gone fast.)
Blake began firing bullets at Umidori from her weapon, but these were either dodged, or blocked by the girl as she moved across the room quickly, and at Blake.
Umidori, and Blake exchanged blows that were all blocked or dodged. Blake jumped over Umidori creating a lightning clone, that exploded electrocuting the girl, but this didn't do to much to her, she threw a gravity dust crystal at Blake's feet, and shot it with a bomber lance, sending Blake into the air were even if she made a shadow clone it wouldn't save her from the nextlance fired at her, which Umidori quickly fired while Blake was in the air it hit her, sending her uo on to the upper balcony, and Umidori then shot another lance destroying the balcony and Blake fell to the floor, with peices of the upper balcony falling on top of her.
Umidori smiled as Blake slowly stood up, Blake's aura was close to breaking, at this rate she would lose, or die Umidori would make sure it was the latter. "Why do this? Your not even a faunas so why join the white fang?" Blake asked genuinely out of breath, if she was going to die, she at least wanted to know why this girl was apart of the white fang.
Umidori simply laughed. "Oh I am not with those silly animals, dumb ass!" Blake was a little put off by the racist comment. "I am a member of Grimmlin." Umidori stated.
Blake had never heard of that before. (What the hell is Grimmlin? Are they the ones that attacked Beacon Academy with the white fang? Are they the group Cinder Fall is apart of?) "Who are Grimmlin?" Blake asked. "We are far beyond those white fang losers, they should be on their knees licking our boots!" Umidori said with a laugh.
"It's were they belong, since their power is so far below ours." Umidori was saying one racist comment after another, just to piss Blake off, then the next thing she said destroyed Blake's whole world.
"You know something, our second most powerful member, Thor was sent by our leader Lorya, to kill your friends this morning, what were their names oh yeah, Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee and Yang Xiao Long, they are all dead." Umidori said, enjoying the look on Blake's face when she said it.
At that information Blake's eyes filled with tears. (No it- it can't be true... they... are... dead?) Umidori's words repeated themselves over and over again in Blake's mind, as the tears fell from Blake's eyes uncontrollably, if it was true, and her best friends were really dead, then she would go to the ends of Remnant, until she killed every last member of Grimmlin.
Blake stood strong blood lusted. As she charged Umidori, Blake's strikes were quick and strong, and while some of them got through, most of them were blocked.
Blake wasn't thinking clearly and swung her weapon wildly, the only thing on her mind right now, was killing Umidori Kuroyoru. Unfortunately for Blake, Umidori didn't go down that easy, and in the next moment blake was hit with a bomber lance, that nearly shattered her aura, and she slammed into the door. "Let's make this fun shall we." Umidori suggested as she walked to wear Blake was lying and took out a knife. "This is going to be a very painful death." Umidori said as she brought the knife up high with a large smile on her face.
Umidori brought down the knife but before it could do anything to Blake, the door was blasted off by a strong blast, and Blake was confused when she saw the fear on Umidori's face, as the young girl took several steps back away from Blake, and especially the door.
Blake stood up back on her feet with her last bit of strength, and looked to the door, she saw a boy she had never seen before standing there, he had about near shoulder length, white hair and deep blood red eyes, his skin was pale, he looked like he never got any sun, the boy stood in the door way, with a cane in his hand, and he had some kind of choker device, around his neck that had a red light on it.
Umidori stepped back in fear. (The cane, and choker? It's not Vector-X,but how? How can he be here? This isn't possible, he was in Atlas right?) Umidori looked at the boy in total fear. "It- it can't be how are you here Accelerator?" Umidori stuttered as she spoke to the white haired boy, Blake now knew was called Accelerator.
"So this is what I have to deal with? Some little 3rd string that has my thought patterns? Well do you want to find out which is better? The copy or the original, if I were you I would run for the hills while you have the chance I won't be responsible for what may happen to your body, if you try to fight me!" The boy known only as Accelerator said with a smile.
Part 18.
"Can you get my family to safety please." Blake said to her.
Kuroko Shirai knew Blake couldn't beat Umidori by herself, but her judgment instincts kicked in, and so she just nodded, knowing that people's safety came first.
Kuroko teleported deeper into the house, where she found Sun with a bandaged right hand, most likely from Ilia breaking it earlier, and Blake's father Gira Belladonna fighting white fang members, she saw a few white fang members holding down Kalli Belladonna, to the floor as she struggled.
Kuroko teleported over to her, and quickly teleported her out of the house, to Uiharu's apartment, then she took down the white fang members with her spikes.
Kuroko teleported to Gira and Sun. "We have to get you out of here!" Kuroko yelled. But Gira wasn't listening. "No this is my home! I am going to stay and fight!" Gira replied, but Kuroko wasn't having it. "I'm sorry but leave this to us." Kuroko then teleported both Gira, and Sun to Uiharu's apartment as well.
Kuroko's esper ability got even stronger after she unlocked her aura, she could now teleport at much longer distances, and she could teleport multiple people, or objects at once, and even could create after images when teleporting, and with her telekinesis semblance she can teleport people, or objects without having to make physical contact, at this point it was clear to Kuroko that she surpassed Awaki Musujime, as Kuroko could now teleport much further Awaki could only teleport a distance of 800 meters, and Kuroko can now teleport 13,680 kilometers at her best without straining her body, and with aura enhancement.
This allows her to teleport between the kingdoms, if she was back on Earth, with this Kuroko could teleport from Academy City to the United States, and while move point could relocate a maximum of 4,520 kilograms, Kuroko could now relocate 18,654 kilograms, she was once even able to stretch that to over 20,000 kilograms.
Kuroko called Uiharu on her ear piece. "Uiharu did they arrive safely?" Kuroko asked.
Uiharu's voice came through the ear piece. "Yep their here you, and Blake need to get out of there, Hanano and I are-" Something struck Kuroko electrocuting her, and knocking her to the ground, and then the person who attacked her pulled the ear piece out of her ear, and dropped it to the floor then stepped on it, effectively breaking it.
Kuroko stood up, and looked to find Ilia Amitola standing before her, with her weapon ready, Ilia charged and aimed a kick at Kuroko who went to teleport out of the way, but her body only frizzled for a moment, for some reason she couldn't get the proper calculations.
Ilia's foot slammed into Kuroko's chest sending her spiraling across the floor, Kuroko rolled then backfliped on to her feet.
(Why couldn't I teleport? Shock dust wouldn't interfere with my calculations, Sissy's electricity voltage is way stronger than that, and I can still teleport after she shocks me, so it has to be something else Ilia is doing to interfere with teleportation.)
Kuroko thought as she pulled out two knives holding them back handed. Amplifying her aura, Kuroko closed the distance between Ilia and her quickly, as the two began to trade blows blocking, and dodging with only a few strikes getting through.
(Looks like all that training with Frenda paid off.) Kuroko thought, as she dodged another strike from Ilia, then blocked Ilia's next strike. (Damn she is actually a skilled fighter.) Ilia thought, as she kept trading blows with Kuroko, she thought Kuroko would be easy, to beat since she only saw her use her semblance, she had no idea Kuroko was this skilled in combat.
Kuroko jumped back, and used her semblance to telekineticly throw Ilia into the wall. (Wait two semblances? How is that even possible?) Ilia got up and charged Kuroko she swung her electric whip but Kuroko dodged it kicking Ilia back, she then pressed two buttons one on the handles of each knife, and the blades extended into swords.
Kuroko telekineticly pulled Ilia toward her and stabbed her with both her swords, doing some damage to her aura. (Fuck! This is bad, I had no idea she could use telekinesis, I have no defences for that.) Ilia thought.
She used ice dust to freeze the floor beneath Kuroko hoping she would slip but it had no effect, and Kuroko simply used it to move faster, Kuroko quickly struck Ilia four more times before Ilia could even blink.
(No way she is using her aura to enhance her speed to insane levels, this is going to be bad if I can't get passed this, she is skilled fighter, has mastered her aura, and has two semblances one of which is telekinesis, and for some reason it wasn't affected by the jammer I got from the big guy with Adam. Okay hope this works on her.)
Kuroko was having no problem with Ilia, but that didn't last long, the next thing that happened, was Ilia charged and attacked Kuroko, but Kuroko quickly struck her, or so she thought as her sword passed right through Ilia's body completely, as if she was ghost then Kuroko was kicked from behind, as she went sprawling to the floor.
(Wait what was that? My sword passed right through her body, was that matter manipulation? And when did she get behind me? I never saw her move.) Kuroko was full of theories as to what Ilia's semblance was.
When Kuroko turned around she saw that Ilia was gone, she looked around the room for a moment then she saw Ilia out of the corner of her eye, and swung but just like last time it went right through Ilia. Kuroko was then hit twice once from the left side, and the other from the right then Ilia seemly appeared in front of her, and kicked her in the stomach.
(How is she doing this? it almost feels like that trickart guy back in Academy City, but this is on a bigger scale.) Kuroko was struck again and it confused her, sometimes she could see Ilia, and sometimes she couldn't it was like Ilia was teleporting, but at the same time it wasn't teleportation, and even when Kuroko would get a hit, it always passed through Ilia's body, like she wasn't there in the first place, even though Kuroko clearly could see her standing right there.
Kuroko needed to figure this out, and turn this around, or she was going to lose. Ilia appeared in Kuroko's line of sight, and Kuroko threw three spikes but they passed through her body, then Kuroko was struck again from the left side, then from the back. Kuroko's aura was running low and she had to do something fast.
Part 19.
The boy known as Accelerator stood across from Umidori, he had one hand in his pocket, and the other holding his cane.
Blake didn't understand why Umidori was so scared of this disabled boy next to her. "So are ya gonna run away? Or are we doing this?" Accelerator asked.
Umidori just stared at the boy then she shot a bomber lance at him but the boy moved quickly, and he was now standing next to Umidori, who jumped away from him, she shot another bomber lance which he dodged as well the boy then stomped on the ground created an earthquake, that shot too the point of ground that Umidori was standing on shoot into the air.
Umidori jumped off the piece of ground, and shot another bomber lance but the boy quickly dodged again. Blake saw just how crazy fast the boy was, but speed alone wasn't going to win against Umidori, still Blake wondered how the crippled boy could move so fast in the first place.
However Umidori, had a different thought in mind, as she launched another lance Accelerator dodged.
(Why isn't he using his reflection? Isn't that Accelerator's main defense against basically anything? Plus he seems much weaker then I heard back in Academy City, he is moving slower, and he hasn't been causing much damage at all, and he is not even manipulating vectors, I would feel it if he was... wait a minute is it? Ha ha ha ha ha, that fucking bitch thinks she can pull one over on me?)
Umidori finally figured out what was going on, and she quickly charged "Accelerator," she swung a sword, as he dodged it she aimed a kick at his side the kick connected, and he was launched back and hit the floor.
The moment "Accelerator," hit the floor a light flashed, and it was revealed that it wasn't the boy known as Accelerator, but it was infact the girl known as Choubi Hanano. "Hanano!?" Blake screamed. Hanano's semblance allowed her to shapeshift into any living thing, as well as copy their voices, clothes and every other detail about them after only seeing them one time weather that be in person, or on camera, or even just a picture or a drawing any source could be used, even an accurate description of them, Hanano got the description of Accelerator from Hanano on more then one occasion including currently in Remnant.
Kuroko actually teleported too Atlas when the world shook, and found that was Accelerator's doing, but she went there after it was over, she said it looked like some kind of battle took place.
"Ha ha ha ha! So you pretended to be the manipulator of vectors, by using a shitty semblance, and using aura and dust to create those fucking effects!!" "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! I knew something was fucking up! When you didn't reflect any of my attacks! Did you really think you could of fooled me!? With some shit like that!? didn't you think the first thing I would check, is if you had his reflection you idot! Don't you know I have Accelerator's thought patterns!? Or are you just a dumb ass!?"
Umidori was cackling as she insulted Hanano's poor attempt at pretending to be Accelerator, unfortunately she didn't account for the fact that thanks to the Dark May Project, Umidori Kuroyoru has Accelerator's thought patterns, and that is what made her doubt it, so she tested if the Accelerator in front of her could use his reflection, not to mention Umidori also has prior knowledge of Hanano's semblance.
Hanano was hoping to just scare Umidori away but it backfired, Hanano could fight well, she was a huntress after all, but she doubted she, and even she and Blake together could take down someone with Accelerator's thought patterns, and a small portion of his ability, that's not even counting what ever Umidori's semblance is, that she hasn't used yet, and she hasn't even used those cyborg arms yet, so what could be her game.
Blake and Hanano stood next to each other. "Hanano do you have a plan?" Blake asked. "At this point no... I was hoping the Accelerator thing would work." Hanano admitted. "Why was she so scared of this Accelerator guy?" Blake asked genuinely confused.
"If you met him, you would understand why, let's just say he is really strong, but I didn't account for the fact that Umidori had Accelerator's thought patterns shoved in her head." Hanano explained.
This only confused Blake more. (She has his thought patterns? What does that even mean?) Umidori decided she would end this quickly, with two of them it could be a problem so she activated her semblance, the reason she didn't use her semblance right off the bat, is because it took a lot of effort to keep it up, and she could only keep it up so long, the other problem was that it drained her aura constantly little by little until she hit 0% if she didn't turn it off, but she should be able to use it to defeat them, before they can beat her.
(Okay judging from my aura levels, I have about 5 minutes of semblance mode.) Umidori thought as she charged at Blake, and Hanano quickly then she swung her swords, Blake and Hanano quickly jumped away, then Blake shot Gambol Shroud at Umidori who didn't dodge the attack, Blake still had the same plan, to quickly break Umidori's aura, but to both Blake and Hanano's complete surprise, and shock the bullets simply bounced off Umidori's body, as if they were hitting an invisible shield, or something. (What the hell is this? she has never done this before.) Blake had no idea what to do at this point.
Blake launched a fire clone at Umidori, it exploded against her, but it had no effect whatsoever, and Umidori kicked Blake in the stomach, and this time her kick had to be about ten times stronger then normal. Blake's aura shattered on impact from Umidori's kick. She was still conscious, but now it was dangerous to fight since death could now come easily. Hanano recognized that power because her old teammate back in Item had it.
(That was Offence Armor! how can Umidori use that!? That power belongs to Kinuhata.) Hanano thought, she had no idea how they were going to get passed Offense Armor, and Bomber Lance, to top that off Blake's aura was broken they were royally screwed.
Part 20.
Kuroko couldn't figure out what the hell Ilia was doing, and she was so low on aura, if she could teleport this would be easier, but without her teleportation she had no idea how to counter Ilia's semblance. (It seems like she can turn invisible, and be in two places at once, and she is somehow able to teleport, or something as well... what the fuck is this semblance?) Kuroko has been able to dodge some of Ilia's strikes, but it was still very difficult when she couldn't see her, or when she would attack her, and it would just pass through her.
Ilia's fist slammed into Kuroko's left cheek out of nowhere, then she was hit with the lightning whip, things just keep getting worse, and Kuroko was now on about 32% aura almost in the red, Kuroko wasn't to worried about that however, even if she was at 0% she could still move, and function just fine, she was more then capable of fighting without aura, so that was not a very big deal.
(I just need to analyze this ability, as soon as I crack it's code, I can deal with it.) Kuroko thought, as she dodged another strike from the left side, but was then hit from the back knocking her aura down to 28%, Ilia swung her whip from behind Kuroko turned, around just in time to block it, with her swords, or so she thought as she was struck from behind again from Ilia, who was actually behind her and the one in front of her vanished but Ilia made a mistake.
(Wait she was actually in front of me not behind me, then when I turned around she struck, but why did the one I was looking at vanish before she hit me? Any other time she hit me, the other version of her was still there.) The whole time Kuroko had been dealing with Ilia's semblance, she had seen when there were either two, or three, or sometimes more Ilia's they would always stay in her view, until she was hit.
Ilia struck at Kuroko, but Kuroko dodged and this time grabbed Ilia's whip and quickly pulled Ilia toward her as Kuroko punched her in the stomach, this time unlike before, it hit her and Ilia took a strong hit to her aura, dropping it down to 46% Ilia tried to strike again this time with a kick from the back, but instead of turning around Kuroko charged forward and kicked the Ilia in front of her, the kick connected with Ilia's face and sent her to the floor.
"Did you think I wouldn't figure it out? At first I thought you had similar ability to one that I once dealt with before called Trick Art, but that was untill an image of you vanished, when it was under the shadow of the upstairs balcony." Kuroko explained, dodging another strike from Ilia. "You manipulate the light around you, and create false images of yourself by bending light around yourself, and the light my eyes perceive, in other words your creating mirror images of yourself in my current vision, and I can't see where you really are, it actually is pretty similar to Trick Art but still a bit different." Kuroko explained. "But in the end, it is just a party trick." Kuroko said.
"A party trick huh?" Ilia raised her hand and a beam of white light instantaneously slammed into Kuroko's body, and she was thrown across the room into the wall, her aura dropping to 8% from that one attack. (She doesn't just bend light, she controls it completely.) Kuroko stood up and she needed a new plan.
(Does it move at light speed? there would be no way I could dodge something moving that fast without teleportation, when it comes to my semblance, I can only move things, or throw people I mainly use it as an extension of my teleportation to allow to teleport things, without touching them, and I can't use my telekinesis on light or energy forms but maybe I don't have too, if I put enough pressure on her head, then I should be able to put her to sleep.) Kuroko had never really trained her semblance that much, she wasn't sure she could use her telekinesis, in the way she was thinking but she had to try, and she had to do it fast.
Ilia and Kuroko began to exchange blows once again, and this time both were very fatigued so they were missing alot more, and at some points even stopping to catch their breath. Kuroko jumped away, just before Ilia shot a light beam at her it burned through the wall.
Kuroko saw this as her chance, she quickly charged in, and karate chopped her in the neck knocking to the floor. Kuroko then telekineticly grabbed her head, and put just enough pressure to cause her to pass out.
Kuroko breathing heavily searched Ilia's sleeping form, and found a small green device emitting some strange pulse, as soon as Kuroko crushed it she could once again calculate her esper power. (This was jamming my esper ability? What the hell is this thing?) Kuroko examined the crushed object, and found some words written on the back that said, Merlot Industries.
Part 21.
Hanano knew at this point they had to do something, if this kept up Umidori would kill both of them, Blake had no aura, and Hanano wasn't skilled enough, or powerful enough to beat Umidori, especially now that the girl apparently also had Offence Armor as well as her own Bomber Lance.
Hanano threw a fire dust crystal, and shot it but just like the other four times the explosion did absolutely nothing to Umidori, the girl simply laughed then shot a lance at Hanano, Hanano quickly dodged it, but then Umidori pulled out about 20 mechanical arms and shot too many lances for her to dodge, and to make matters worse she aimed them at Blake instead of Hanano, if Blake was hit by this many lances with no aura, it would kill her Hanano jumped in front of Blake to protect her, not sure if she would survive this.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha! It's time for you to say goodbye don't worry Blake! I will make sure your family finds your body! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" Umidori had seemingly lost it as she was ready to kill them both. "Wait weren't you supposed to bring me back to Adam?" Blake asked. "Ha ha ha ha! you think I give a fuck about that cunt!? I told you before, Grimmlin are far beyond the white fang!!" Umidori said, and she fired the lances, and Hanano took them and was knocked unconscious, as her aura broke. "No! Hanano!" Blake screamed rushing to her side, the girl was out cold. "Yoooouuur neeexxt Blaaakkke."
Umidori said, in a very creepy sing song voice, she sounded like character from a horror movie, and she had the scariest smile Blake had ever seen on a person, even The Body Carver, wasn't this scary, Blake might have nightmares of Umidori, if she survives this.
Umidori charged up another 20 lances and aimed them at Blake. (This is it, this is how I die... at least I get to join my friends.) Blake thought as Umidori had told her they were killed this morning by Thor, and apparently Thor was much stronger than Umidori, so she doubted they lived if he attacked them, but if they were really dead they would all be together in the afterlife.
Blake closed her eyes and peacefully waited for her death, that was sure to come. Umidori shot her lances with a laugh, but nothing hit Blake. When she opened her eyes, she saw standing before her, a boy with spiky black hair he had his arms crossed, and he was wearing a white shirt with a strange red pattern on it, and a white jacket as a cape on his back.
"Well now attacking someone while they're down huh? That's not gutsy at all." The boy stated. "I guess I have to teach you some manners, and show you proper guts!" The boy pulled back his fist. "AMZING... PUNCH!" The boys fist flew, and a blast of some kind of energy flew out, causing the ground to shake, as a massive explosion filled the area, all in one punch if you could call it that. It slammed into Umidori Kuroyoru, and her aura was completely shattered, as she was completely knocked unconscious, through her Offence Armor, nothing stopped it.
Blake watched in complete awe, she had never seen anyone so powerful before.
The boy turned to her. "You okay?" He asked Blake, and she just nodded looking at the unconscious form of Umidori. "Don't worry about her, I held back a lot she'll be fine, you know that girls guts might be tainted right now, but that doesn't mean she can't change." The boy said.
To say Blake was confused would be an understatement, she didn't get anything, who the boy was, or why jumped in to help a complete stranger like some kind of comic book superhero. "You have got some good guts you know that." The boy said. Blake didn't understand why he kept saying that, but didn't question it. "Who are you?" Blake asked. The boy gave her a smile and then put his knuckles to his head. "The names Gunha Sogiita it is nice to meet you-" "Blake, Blake Belladonna." Blake said. "Nice to meet you Blake, well I still have to take down the white fang leader, Adam Taurus so I'll see you around."
With that said the boy moved at incredible speeds, and jumped through one of the windows that were already broken, it confused Blake even more when she had seen that, he was some
how able to jump on the air, like he was jumping on platforms.
(What was that a guardian angel?) Blake was so confused, but somehow thanks to that boy she was alive, she quickly tied up Umidori.
Just at that moment Kuroko teleported in, looking pretty banged up. "You managed to take her down?" Kuroko asked. Blake looked at her. "I didn't someone else did." Blake said. Kuroko saw Hanano unconscious, and no one else was in the room. "Who?" Kuroko asked. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you." Blake said, and Kuroko just let it go.
Kuroko teleported Hanano away to be healed, and Umidori to be interrogated she then teleported Blake, and Ilia to Uiharu's apartment, as the Belladonna home was basically destroyed.
A few hours later, when Ilia woke up she found herself handcuffed to a chair, with Blake standing across from her. "Ilia we need to talk." Blake said.

Part 40.
"It has been set in motion." The skeletal man with no soul stood next to a knight, he looked like young boy no older than fourteen, but in reality he was millions maybe even billions or even trillions of centuries old his age is truly unknown as the oldest magic god he had half golden, and half silver hair, he was also wearing gold and silver armor and, he carried an all black cursed blade, one he would be trading in soon for something new.
These two are beings who have reached such a high level, they can be called gods, they are beings of Infinite power, who currently have their power split an infinite amount of times, giving them only one quintillionth of one quintillionth infinitely of their full power meaning -99.9% of 100%, and even at that small minuscule amount of their full power they could easily destroy the universe, they are the magic gods.
Hades and Kronos, and if not for this split of their power they would destroy everything, just with their very presence in the physical world.
Hades is the greek mythology god of the dead, and Kronos is the greek mythology titan that ruled over all gods and titans, he was casted to the deepest pits of Tartarus by his three sons Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades.
It is hard to believe that at one point lifetimes, and lifetimes ago these two magical gods were once human beings, that discovered the secrets of true power, and ascended into godhood.
"We are ready to move." Hades said. "Then we shall commence the first test in only several days." Kronos said his voice sounded like a child's, but at the same time deep and demonic, but then it also sounded like a river was running through it, as his voice echoed among the walls of the abandoned train station.
"Are you certain we should test him first?" Hades asked. "Yes I leave it too you." Kronos said. "And what of the summer maiden?" Hades asked, as the two magic gods walked through the subway station, that hadn't seen human or faunus foot traffic in years.
"Apparently when a maiden dies, the power passes on to who is ever in their vary last thought, so I was unable to retrieve the power for the sword." Kronos explained.
Hades looked over to the boy known as Kronos with a bit of concern. "So we can't simply kill the maidens, and take the powers we need for ourselves? We need the maidens to open the vaults for us?" Hades asked. "Since these "doors," exist in separate dimensions outside of time, I can not reach them at my current level of power. So we will have to wait for the maidens to open them, luckily I have an easy method for tracking the maidens magic, so I know who will gain the power each time it passes to a new host." Kronos explained.
"I see... that will make things easier." Hades said. "What did you learn of the wizard, will he be a problem?" Kronos asked. "No he is currently on depleted power, and in the body of a 13 year old boy, he is not even close to Aleister we have nothing to worry about with him." Hades explained.
"I'm not talking about Ozma, what of Septimus? his power is far beyond Ozma, from what I read of his mana his full power is just a hair beneath the power of a magic god, it could be a problem if he get's involved." Kronos stated.
"Septimus Magnus? Don't worry I have taken care of that, he is forever lost in the Dead City, even a magic god, couldn't escape from there, We have nothing to worry about, when it comes to the first avatar of Zaviar, Septimus Magnus." Hades explained, this relived Kronos, he was worried of this, because if Septimus Magnus were to get involved in the coming war on Remnant, it would be a huge problem in their plan, after all, Septimus Magnus, is even more powerful than Aleister Crowley.
"It will soon be time to show Remnant our existence." Kronos said. "Don't worry right about now, Salem should be waking up, and where else will she go for help, besides her once true love, soon this world will know of us, and we will take it" Hades said with a smile. "Indeed, of course there is still one more problem besides Magnus... the previous gods of this world." Kronos said. "Yes I recently created a method to reach, Zaviar and Zoulexivar's dimension." Hades replied.
"We have changed the story, and what happens next will be exciting." Hades said, as he held a glass ball, that is about the size of his palm inside the ball was a man. A certain scientist by the name of Arthur Watts was trapped in the glass ball, and would only be let out when the magic gods needed him.
