Before Chapter Notes.
Okay so I'm sorry this took so long, I have been crazy busy recently, And then it took me quite a bit to write The Accelerator Story chapter 15, But here we are.
So, as I have mentioned multiple times this volume will not be anything about RWBY cannon and it is going to get very dark, So be prepared for that.
There will be quite a bit of change to The RWBY volume and the rest of this volume will be mostly focused on Frenda, We will still see some stories from Beacon, But most of the rest of Volume 2 will not be taking place in Beacon, However, I do have a surprise for Beacon later.
Enjoy Frenda Seivelun's sadism as we will be finally seeing it a lot throughout The Dark Side War. Her darkness has been released.
Okay, that's my notes, On with the chapter.
Part 1.
The music was booming and multiple people were dancing in this club. Nobody in this club was aware that this moment may be their final day on this planet.
Several men all stood atop a building nearby, these men were all from a group called The Claw, It was under a new leader, The one known as Dark Sides Bane, Aihana Etsu. She decided to wake up the Dark Side and she wanted a war, She had her men dressed in outfits from the group known as Silverwater, the club was owned by The Spiders, They were the ones who often had clubs and other establishments to make their money.
The goal was simple and the men knew exactly what was required from them, They all walked down the steps.
At the club the civilians and the Spider members inside were not prepared for the explosions that began to go off all over the club, Men and women began running and screaming but not many could escape as suddenly bullets began to pierce their bodies. Many of the people in this club didn't have aura so they were being easily gunned down, As well as many of The Spiders members.
The Claw who were dressed in Silverwater gear relentlessly murdered hundreds of people in cold blood, An attack like this would surely make the news even on the Dark Side, At the same time The Spiders responded trying their best to defend against this surprise attack.
"It's Silverwater!"
The bullets flew among the room going back and forth between The Claw and The Spiders, More explosions rang out and more Bodies and body parts were scattered among the room.
This was all being watched by A certain girl who was pretending to be Academy City's #6 Aihana Etsu but in reality, she was actually a Level 4 named Kaede Nath, She used to have another name but after she got to this world she changed that around, She was adopted by The Nath's and now her new name was Kaede Nath.
She had her little stepbrother on her lap, The young boy was eating a bucket of popcorn as he watched the carnage taking place in the club. The boy known as Enzo Nath was so fascinated with the carnage that he didn't even flinch when his older sister Kaede ran her tongue up his neck.
"You seem to really be enjoying this little show Enzo."
The boy only smiling as he shoved more buttery popcorn in his mouth said one thing. "It's beautiful."
Kaede Nath grinned. "I'm glad you're having fun," Kaede replied then she got an encrypted call on her scroll by the man known as Shark or The Shark. She answered it and placed it against her ear.
"We were successful in killing The Spiders and civilians in the club."
"Good, Carry out a few bodies of The Spiders and then torch the club."
"Yes, Ma'am."
Right after he hung up Kaede and Enzo both watched as They began to set fire to the club.
(This will send a message to Little Miss Malachite for sure, And she will believe it was Silverwater, This video will also make it impossible for the Dark Side to cover this up, I'm going to reveal The Dark Side to the world and then I will rule it as it's Queen.)
Kaede only smiled as the video feed reflected off her eyes. All that was seen on the feed at this moment was a burning building.
Part 2.
"Aaaaaaaaah!!! You fucking bitch!!!"
The knife dug deeper into the man's knee as he screamed out in pain, The man was literally nailed to a wooden chair, His hands had sharp rusty nails sticking through them holding him to the chair, his shins were also nailed to the legs of the chair, And he had multiple deep cuts all over his clothless body, his left eye was missing and had been cut out, The man was in more pain than he ever thought possible.
The girl with fluffy blonde hair and a beret on her head, The girl known as Frenda Seivelun had a void expression as she tortured the man, Who belonged to the group known as The Claw, She had been torturing multiple members for information on Aihana Etsu, Vacant needed this information and she was tasked with getting it.
This was due to Frenda's skills on inflicting pain and keeping the victim alive, this is a highly sought-after skill on the Dark Side, not many were capable of inflicting the pain of death without killing the victim, Frenda had become a professional torturer she was a true master of the craft, she remembered teaching Saiai Kinuhata and Choubi Hanano how to torture on their first mission with Item when the two girls competed against each other to see who would stay on the team since Item had only needed one more member.
Frenda honestly believed that Shizuri Mugino was going to use Kinuhata over Hanano either way though, she wanted a shield, Because her own ability couldn't protect them at least that is what she believed The Meltdowner was only meant for offense at least at the time. At this moment however Frenda was using some tricks she had never taught to Kinuhata or Hanano, She had lost herself all over again, Ruby Rose being in the hospital, Still in a coma was affecting Frenda more than she expected.
In the last few days, she has been more deadly and ruthless than she had ever been she was not pulling punches, she was not taking the high road, she was not being a Huntress at all, she was being a ruthless monster, even more of a monster than The #1 and #2 combined, something inside the blonde girl broke when Ruby had flat-lined, when she thought she was dead, that was it. A darkness rose and a fracture grew in her mind. Frenda Seivelun was full of darkness, In the last few days she found herself greatly enjoying torturing and killing much like she did back in Item.
Frenda looked at the man with a sadistic grin, the grin of somebody who enjoyed hurting and killing, a grin that felt joy from seeing suffering and agony in her victims' eyes. "You damn Claw fuckers are pretty annoying you know that? In the end, I only need to know what the fuck Aihana Etsu is planning and her location it's not that hard, Or would you rather I take off a few fingers first, Or maybe cut out some teeth?"
The man looked at Frenda in fear, However, he took too much time to answer and before he could react Frenda ripped the knife out of his knee and cut off two of his fingers, The man screamed out in a pitching screech of pain, That was however cut short when Frenda shoved the two fingers she removed into his mouth and quite literally forced them down his throat.
"Don't really want to clean that up."
The man saw only a smile on Frenda Seivelun's face, Showing she took great pleasure in this, He finally began to speak. "You know something girl? You and Aihana are pretty damn similar."
Frenda grabbed the man's arm and began to drag her blade down his arm however not in a straight line, or cut, She was skinning his arm right before his eyes, Shaving the skin off like a hunter would skin a catch, The pain was incredibly intense, the man could only scream and cry and the girl skinned his arm slowly.
"I will ask one more time where the fuck is Aihana Etsu?" Frenda asked as she dug the blade in more.
The man however foolishly said his last words. "Fuck you bitch."
It seemed he was willing to die for The Claw, at this point it seemed pointless so Frenda didn't waste any more time with this man, She quickly cut the man's throat dragging her blade from one side to the other, Blood poured out of his neck and over his naked body as he choked on his own blood and slowly died before the heartless eyes of Frenda Seivelun.
Frenda walked out of the room in this abandoned building. Outside, Awaki Musujime was standing in the hallway she didn't want to be around, She nearly vomited last time she watched Frenda torture somebody, When Frenda had burned off a man's face slowly.
"In the end, more nothing."
Awaki Musujime only sighed, they had been trying to get information on Aihana Etsu for a while now and it had seemed The Claw Mafia were very loyal to their leaders and comrades.
"Yeah, this isn't working, how many of these people have you killed so far?" Awaki asked not even wanting to know the answer.
"23," Frenda answered simply.
"Okay, so we should probably look into The Spiders, They are in conflict with The Claw, It seems Aihana Etsu wants to get the attention of Little Miss Malachite, I'm not sure what for, but The Claw has started a war with The Spiders, So maybe if we follow the trail it will lead us to Aihana Etsu."
"In the end, I doubt it will be that easy, nothing on the Dark Side ever is."
At that moment Frenda felt something from her semblance, she sensed a presence and quickly by instinct pushed Awaki down and out of the way of a gunshot.
When Frenda and Awaki looked up they saw a girl at least 17 or 18 standing at the end of the hallway, She had long fiery red hair, She looked similar to Pyrrha Nikos.
Acting fast Frenda threw an ice bomb, as it exploded the area in front of them was filled with frost and sleet, and the walls were covered in ice, With a knife Frenda charged but then she suddenly stopped as the sudden urge to take her own life came over her, Frenda Seivelun rose her blade to her own throat and was pressing it against the skin, the sharp tip drew blood as she deactivated her aura.
The girl only smiled as Frenda was about to push the blade through her throat and kill herself when the face of Ruby Rose appeared in her mind, and the need to live was stronger than whatever was trying to take over her actions.
The girl had to jump back when her semblance had failed and Frenda Seivelun's knife was thrown at her chest, Frenda's foot then slammed into the girl's gut and sent her back into a wall, She had quickly recovered but then multiple metal spikes stuck into her body all over.
The girl didn't even flinch in pain but she was quickly losing blood from Awaki Musujime's attack, and her only option was retreat, a small device flew from her hand in a desperate throw and the next thing that happened was the building beginning to catch fire very quickly, it seemed that the device was some type of special fire dust device.
Awaki and Frenda vanished as the girl jumped from the window and leaped off the wall quickly and safely landing.
At the bottom, a little boy was standing on top of a car. "That was a show, Maki!"
This boy was known as Christopher Roxson or 22, He was the partner of the girl in front of him Maki Sandra, or 48, these two were from a secret Dark Side Organization called The Epsilon Assassins.
"Well you tried your best, And that's what matters, Right? Was Tsuchimikado there?"
Maki only looked at the boy in frustration, She didn't understand why he played all these games.
"If you came with they wouldn't have gotten away," Maki scolded like a mother.
"Why would I do that? You looked so beautiful in that fight, And besides, I don't think it would be a good idea for me to interfere with Mark's target."
Elsewhere.
Frenda and Awaki had appeared in a back alley across the city. "In the end, That was an Epsilon Assassin wasn't it?" Frenda asked catching her breath.
Awaki was in a similar state. "Yes, That was 48, We only know because she once tried to attack Tsuchimikado before, Her semblance is annoying, She is able to send some kind of Suicide command to her target or targets."
As Awaki explained, Frenda thought back to the fight, she had for some reason wanted to kill herself, it was thanks to Ruby that she was able to fight it. (So, In the end, she can make people take their own life but if that person has a strong reason to stay alive they can fight it.)
Awaki looked at Frenda and said one thing. "Let's get back to Tsuchimikado."
"Hey, can I ask, what happened to Molly?"
Frenda was very curious as to the whereabouts of Molly Mayham, Especially since she wasn't answering her scroll or scroll texts.
"She was attacked by The Epsilon Assassins and she went off-grid, We haven't heard from her in a few days."
This was Awaki's simple answer, for now, it put Frenda's curiosity to rest, though she was still worried for the girl.
Awaki swung her flashlight, then she and Frenda both vanished in an instant.
Part 3.
Little Miss Malachite had just gotten off the Bullhead, she wasn't happy that she had to come to Vale, But after the call from her daughters about what happened to Junior and his bar, she had no choice. And to add to that, This Aihana Etsu person was apparently challenging her.
Little Miss was here to make an alliance with the other Dark Side Organizations and she knew she would need to call on her Dark Side friends, she was good friends with the leader of the Dark Side Organization Entrilgul, Little Miss didn't invite her to this meeting because she knew she already had her support, it was obvious this situation was only going to get worse and she had to be prepared for what may come of it.
She didn't even know who this Aihana Etsu was, But she wasn't about to let this little girl destroy everything she spent so long to build. So Little Miss did the one thing she could, She called a meeting with the Dark Side Organizations that she knew were the better of them, The ones that would listen or at least she hoped so.
Little Miss Malachite walked into the vehicle and got in, the vehicle was a Limo that was already holding her daughters, Melanie and Miltia Malachite.
"Greetings girls," Little Miss greeted as she sat across from her daughters, She had gotten their message and she had a bit of a conflicted view on the situation, She had heard of a lot of crazy things in this world but nothing on the lines of what her daughters had described.
As the limo began heading to the destination, They sat in silence for a bit, it was obvious her daughters were still shaken up even though it had been quite some time since this incident occurred, she assumed if it was true and not some party trick it made sense.
Little Miss decided to break the awkward silence. "So, run me through it again girls, What happened to Junior?"
Miltia was the one to respond after a few moments, she didn't even know how to describe what had happened, she herself didn't understand it at all. "Th... This young boy, I don't maybe 10 or 11, he had come into the bar with this woman and he, could turn people into salt with a single touch, It didn't even matter if they had aura or not, it was..."
As Miltia trailed off Little Miss had taken in the information. (That's impossible, I have never heard of a semblance like that, and for such a young child to have such a semblance, It sounds so fantastic, I couldn't possibly picture such a thing, but my daughters wouldn't lie about something like this, maybe there was something else going on they didn't see.)
"Who was this boy? Do you know?" Little Miss asked now genuinely interested in such a powerful individual if it was true, She imagined how powerful The Spiders would be with someone like him.
"Christopher Roxson, That's what he said his name was."
It was Melanie who said this, Then she continued with her explanation. "He had also called himself 22 and he couldn't even be hurt, anything that touched him also turned to salt, It was the most bizarre semblance I have ever seen in my life Mom I swear."
"22 You say?"
"Yes, why?"
"I see... The Epsilon Assassins."
Melanie and Miltia were both very confused at how their mother knew about the group since they hadn't yet told her. "How did you."
Miltia was cut off by her mother with her next spoken words. "I am quite aware of that group, I used them once, it seems W.S. is sending his little kids out to wreak havoc, but why, that's the question."
Little Miss could tell that her daughters were confused so she gave them a brief explanation on the organization known as The Epsilon Assassins, well what she knew of them herself, there was much about the secret Dark Side group that she didn't know.
After her explanation her daughters were to describe it in one word horrified, It sounded absolutely barbaric.
"So, those children are kidnapped as young and trained to only kill? That's completely fucked up, I mean even we would never do something so horrible."
Melanie made her thoughts known and Miltia followed in her sister's footsteps. "They are tortured, to make them stronger? How could someone torture children like that?"
The truth was that both, Melanie and Miltia loved and cared for children and would make great parents one day, They couldn't imagine treating the most precious gift to humanity in such a horrible way.
"To physically and Mentally brake them? I... Didn't know that these types of organizations existed."
Little Miss listened to her daughters and was in agreement, she hadn't originally used the organization for those reasons, She had heard it was the best assassin group out there, However, when she had discovered what it was actually doing she never used the service again, and when she discovered who W.S. was, she was shocked to say least. She couldn't believe one of "them" was responsible for such an evil organization.
Miltia and Melanie had told their mother everything about the incident and even about how when they went back they found that the entire building was turned to salt. They had also spoken about 48 and what she was capable of or what they believed her semblance was.
The Limo arrived at the location, It was a Spiders-owned hotel, And the Lobby was turned into a meeting room, Melanie and Miltia had never met some of these people, They walked in and saw a few people they recognized as they had seen them before they at first noticed Sienna Khan, next to her was Adam Taurus.
Then there was a man they knew well, He was their family butler, Johnathan Walnetizac, he had been with them since they were children, The man had slicked back black hair and a very fancy black suit, his eyes were Hazel and he stood off to the side respectfully.
Next was somebody they didn't recognize a man with a glass eyepiece and a white dress jacket and couplings, he was old and had grey hair, he looked to be at least 70 or so, the next person they saw was one they recognized, she was a woman with long fluffy black hair and ruby red eyes, She was Raven Branwen the leader of the Branwen Bandit Tribe, She had a troop in Vale so it made sense she wanted to defend it.
The next was another woman but one they didn't recognize, she had seafoam green hair in braided loops on the sides of her head, She had on a sparkly fluffy red dress and black stockings with red high heels. Each of them had nameplates in front of them on the table.
In front of Raven Branwen, her name was shown, the old man with grey hair was named Quinn Gold, according to his nameplate, he was the leader of The Golden Cold.
The woman with the seafoam green hair and the fancy red dress was named Xzalana Ekaterina, The nameplate stated she was the leader of DarkTide.
Each of these leaders also had a single member from their organization standing next to them, these would be their highest-ranking members, Xzalana had a man with short blonde hair and a brown nice suit with brown slacks and black dress shoes, He looked very calm, and didn't look strong, but after Christopher Roxson, The twins don't underestimate anyone anymore.
Raven Branwen had a man next to her he had red hair that was about the length of his ears and a bit wild and he had purple eyes and he was wearing a black coat, while they had never seen him before the twins knew that Raven Branwen's right hand was a man named Hathon Arson, they assumed that this man was him.
Next to Quinn, was a girl who looked quite young, She couldn't have been older than 14 at best, she had on a hat with a little brown hair showing through it and green eyes, she was wearing an orange shirt and small black shorts with white boots, And she had a belt on that seemed to have a bunch of different assortments from knives to bombs, and what looked like syringes, Despite looking so young she seemed dangerous.
They had noticed the girl looked nervous and then Quinn had politely said. "Calm down Yakumaru, enjoy your accomplishment, you became the highest ranking member of The Golden Cold, Your team will be fine without you for now, Now chin up okay?"
"Yes... sir," The girl they now knew as Yakumaru answered sheepishly.
(It must be a big moment for her.) Melanie thought as she continued to look among the table.
As the twins stood next to their mother they caught sight of the last person here, The Strange thing about him was that he had on a creepy mask,m and he was wearing a fancy white suit, But those things were not what shocked them it was the name on the plate, it didn't have the man's name it had just said The Claw.
From what the twins knew the new leader of The Claw was a female named Aihana Etsu, not a man, So they were completely perplexed, they thought this was a meeting for Dark Side Organization leaders, This definitely wasn't the Aihana Etsu they heard about.
As everyone was seated it could finally begin, Little Miss Malachite began by greeting everyone in the room.
And the first to speak up was Quinn. "I assume you have a good reason for us all being here Malachite?"
"It's quite simple, I want a truce at least a temporary one, Look we all can see that Aihana Etsu is starting a war with The Dark Side and she is trying to destroy everything I worked hard for, everything we all worked hard for."
"We are aware of this, But do you really expect us to trust you?" Xzalana asked with skepticism.
"For years we have avoided each other except for certain occasions, And why should we worry about this Aihana Etsu?" Raven Branwen asked with a bored tone.
It was at this moment that the man from The Claw spoke up. "She is a threat for you believe me."
This got the attention of the room. "And how can we trust you? You are actually from The Claw, Why would you turn against your leader?" Quinn asked very interested in the answer, as the brilliant man he was he could already guess the answer but he wanted to hear it.
"In our organization, we have a certain custom, the leader has a certain mask, and no matter who it is that wears that mask is the leader of The Claw no matter if they were a member or not, after they kill the leader and take the mask they will get to have that power, they will be the leader of The Claw. I have wanted that mask for years, And I will do everything in my power to get it, our previous leader The Stone was just a little too much to take down in a fight, Aihana Etsu accomplished this, But it was a different situation."
"You see, I want to see Aihana Etsu fall, And I want to take the mask for myself, So that is why I contacted Little Miss and asked for this meeting, I have information about Aihana Etsu that you will all be interested in. First, let me start by saying her real name is not Aihana Etsu, Aihana Etsu is a complicated situation, It's more than an alias but it's strange how that works, But all you need to understand is that her real name is Kaede Nath and she has a very big weakness, Her family."
"Her father is Captain Temperance, Or Richard Temperance Nath, Then there is her little brother Enzo Strawman Nath, they may be interesting to you, We don't know much about her semblance, we only know that somehow she is able to manipulate invisible pressurized spears, We know she has to complete advanced calculations in her head when using it and she has a good aura control as well."
"Lastly, She is a semblance-only fighter, she relies so much on her semblance that she has no training with weapons, She can shoot a gun but that is all the skill she has, Keep in mind her semblance is powerful, She plans to take over everything, She wants to become The Dark Sides Queen."
As the man finished explaining about Kaede Nath everyone took it in, They hadn't at first known about Aihana Etsu's Plans, Or Kaede Nath as they just learned.
"So, Kaede will attack us all?" Xzalana asked curiously.
Sienna had however quickly figured this out as did Quinn. "No, She doesn't, It's obvious that Nath plans to start a war between the organizations, We will kill each other and then she will clean up the leftovers and take over while we are down, It's a good plan truthfully."
"That's exactly what I was thinking, And The Epsilon Assassins must be benefiting from this in some way," Quinn said speaking his mind to the room.
Little Miss spoke up again. "So, are we in agreement? We deal with Aihana or I guess Kaede together in a temporary truce?"
"I will agree, But not so simple, I'm not going to just make a deal for free, What's to stop me from giving my support to Kaede instead?" Xzalana said as she took a sip of her wine.
"I knew you would be the one to make demands Ekaterina," Raven Branwen said and Sienna nodded in agreement.
"It's simple, How about you forfeit just 35% of your territory in Vale and Mantle to me, I could certainly expand my business so to speak."
Little Miss was appalled at the ridiculous demand, 35% of her business areas? (She must be out of her mind if she thinks I will agree to that!)
"Are you insane, That would be like giving you 35% of my earnings, Plus you want Mantle too!?"
"It's either that, Or I go ahead and let Kaede Nath know of this little meeting, I'm sure she would be interested, And if I gave my allegiance to her instead, Well when she takes over, I would be spared correct? And maybe even compensated, She just wants to rule the Dark Side, I don't see anything wrong with having an overlord."
The words she spoke made everyone in the room think about it.
"That's a good point, My Tribe and I have better things to do than to worry about some wannabe Overlord or queen or whatever, And I have no reason to work with a rival group like DarkTide especially their slut of a leader," Raven Branwen stated and Xzalana had immediately got offended and stood up.
"I would never want to work with a foolish bitch like you either Branwen!"
Little Miss was seeing this going south fast at this rate everyone was going to start fighting. "Let's not start fighting, Do you really want some little brat telling you all what to do?"
Better than working with that Cunt! Especially for free, that's not going to happen, I want something from each of you."
"And if that's the case I want something too," Sienna spoke up. "I want Faunus protection, You can use your groups for that right?"
"Wait hang on aren't you asking for a bit much here? We can't protect every single faunus in Vale!"
The twins noticed the girl named Yakumaru readying herself for what was most likely going to be a fight, She already had her hand on her belt, They also had their hands on their weapons to prepare for a possible confrontation and to protect their mother in what was an inevitable fight.
And they were right to do so as in that next moment, Xzalana threw a grenade in the center of the table that blew up the table and sent them all away, As she had been shielded by the man next to her.
"Don't worry Little Miss, I will just take all of your territory by force."
Raven Branwen stood up and she pulled out her sword as did Hathon Arson.
Zxalana turned to the man she was with and spoke. "Knight Leader, Deal with her."
The man pulled out an expensive-looking claymore and the room prepared for combat.
The Dark Side War had officially begun.
Part 4.
"You have eyes Frenda?"
The voice of Tsuchimikado came through an earpiece in Frenda Seivelun's left ear, She was currently perched on a scroll tower, Looking over what was a base that was one of the strongholds of The Scorpion Tails, Apparently, they had just recently become supporters of Aihana Etsu and could have information on her whereabouts, So this operation was conducted.
"There are about 32 out front, And I'm sure more inside, In the end, I can get them easily with this baby."
Frenda Seivelun was referring to the high-powered custom-made illegal sniper rifle she had currently posted up on a rail on the tower, It was illegal because it could cut through aura and it had 50 caliber rounds with a high-powered scope and a suppressor, The weapons on Remnant were incredible, Frenda had seen some pretty crazy stuff in back Academy City, but most of the military weapons in Remnant were only theoretical back in Academy City.
She was certain that most of these weapons wouldn't be available on Earth until probably the 23rd or 24th century, Remnant had AI-powered weapons that used an AI targeting system and it had Antimatter weapons and Plasma cannons and that was barely scratching the surface, In fact, Frenda stocked up on multiple illegal weapons for her jobs with Vacant.
She had Antimatter bombs and Arrow Missiles, Laser weapons, Thermal Weapons, Black Hole Grenades, as well as other High-Grade Atlas Military Weapons and Equipment, How she got her hands on this? Well, she took as much as she could from a recent robbery she pulled with Vacant on a Vesper Compound.
The Vespers had been The Family that had the most money and it was no surprise why this was the case, they supplied Remnant with all their weapons, this included militaries like Atlas and Vacuo, Frenda was also surprised to find they had non marketed highly lethal dust.
Even the Schnees hadn't developed this, It was dust that was far more dangerous than the traditional dust, And it had some other special dust types, Like Sharp, Plasma, Energy, Space, Blood, And Void.
Frenda took each but she didn't have a massive supply of this experimental dust so she wasn't going to waste it on thugs like this, She would save it up for when she finds Mark Fringe or if she runs into other Epsilon Assassins, And she would probably need it against Aihana Etsu.
That is what her current agreement with Vacant is. Killing Aihana Etsu, Frenda Seivelun was tasked with the elimination of Aihana Etsu, She knew she would need all the firepower she could get to face a Level 5, At the possibility that this was indeed the real Aihana Etsu, Even if their information claimed that their esper ability wasn't one fit for combat, Frenda never underestimates Level 5 espers, And on top of that she has no clue if they may have a semblance, She has no clue about their aura control or weapons, She knows nothing about Aihana Etsu or what they could possibly have.
The thing was that the description that Yang gave was of Somebody Frenda Seivelun remembered from Academy City.
(In the end, Kaede Ibotanokikouji that was the name of the girl that was the leader of the fake Item and that was in control of The Coliseum, a place on the Dark Side where people, typically low-level espers and SkillOut thugs could fight for a cash prize in an arena, That was a lie however, It was really just a place where High-Level Espers who didn't really need money could watch low-level espers and Level 0's kill each other for their entertainment, All told, it was just another place where the rich could use the poor for their enjoyment, Kaede Ibotanokikouji was leading it and her other three little bitches, They were trying to take the name Item, At least until Mugino killed her.)
(Kaede Ibotanokikouji was a Level 3 a pretty strong one from Tokiwadai, But on Remnant depending on how long she has been here she may be a Level 4 or even Level 5, So I can't underestimate her, She most likely has a semblance as well and I'm sure she has at least some aura control, The girl was quite strong even at Level 3 back in Academy City she was able to fight Mugino a Level 5 on pretty even ground, Her Ability was that Pressure Manipulation thing I don't remember it completely, But she could pressurize the air into an invisible spear, And use the atmospheric energy to create a form of Telekinesis.)
(So, I at least know for a fact that she still has that, In the end, she is playing Aihana Etsu again if she is the Aihana Etsu we are after, Although there is still the Possibility that the real one is in Remnant as well, And that wouldn't be good.) Frenda finished her thoughts and looked through the scope, She then spoke into the earpiece. "In the end, should I start?"
"Go right ahead but keep it quiet, See if you can do this without alarming the rest."
Frenda only chuckled at the words Tsuchimikado spoke to her. "In the end, this is a piece of cake."
With that said Frenda looked through the scope of her sniper rifle and quickly picked out two men standing by a truck on the far right of the lot away from most of the others, they would be the first to go, She could see their outline through the special scope so it even worked well in the dark and she didn't even need her semblance for it since there was an x-ray mode on the scope.
The two men didn't even know what hit em. First, the man watched his friend's head explode out of nowhere blood and brain matter flying all over him, But before he could yell out or even make a sound Frenda quickly put a bullet through his head which granted him a similar death as the man that was next to him.
Two men who were on the opposite side of the truck had heard this had heard this and came over to check but Frenda quickly put a bullet in each of them.
(Shit, okay, In the end, 34 not 32, Don't know how I missed two when I was counting but it doesn't matter. All told, I also need to save more bullets.)
Moving the sight to another section of the lot Frenda put a single bullet through the heads of three more of the men, A fourth guy nearby had heard a body drop and rushed over but before he could alert anyone his head had also exploded from another shot.
Frenda quickly reloaded her clip and she had to be fast because two more men were headed in that direction they would see those bodies, and at this rate, it would be too late.
However, much to Frenda's shock for just a moment, The body's cloaked and the blood had also been cloaked as it was basically invisible now, Only if somebody was really looking for it would they see it.
"Cloaking device, I got your back just take the shots I'll deal with the bodies."
This was spoken by Awaki Musujime, Who Frenda quickly figured out had teleported cloaking devices over the bodies, then teleported the bodies away.
(She probably used the cloaking devices because she can't teleport the blood away.) Frenda thought as she put a bullet through the heads of the two men who had just passed by the area.
Soon a small argument between Tsuchimikado and Awaki had been in her ear, He was upset about how long it took Awaki to get the cloaking devices, it was getting annoying so Frenda quickly scolded them about how she couldn't focus with them auguring like that, Which made the two calm down.
With the argument over, Frenda peered through the scope again and she focused her attention to a different side of the lot, There were a lot more people bunched together in this area, most of them were drinking and talking and smoking or doing other drugs.
(In the end, completely unprofessional.)
Frenda shot two then the other two and the four were quickly cloaked then teleported away, Frenda took an impressive shot getting four with one shot, She then moved her scope to a different sight line She was saving bullets since she only had six per clip, She currently had 3 bullets remaining and 16 men left to kill.
Frenda didn't want to use too many clips so she was trying to make sure she always got more than one kill in a single bullet, Which in this spot wouldn't be too difficult, But these men were all practicing shooting with a few cans, which Frenda definitely found as wasteful, But it wasn't her problem, She saw six of them lined up in this spot taking a risk she increased the power of the rifle, This was risky because more power meant more sound even with her suppressor, But she only brought 3 magazines with her and she was almost out of her second one so she needed to make these next shots count.
Frenda took that risk, There was a chance this would make a loud enough sound for the shot to be heard, However as if good luck was on her side a very loud truck was passing by, This was perfect, The truck would be an annoying sound, when the ears were focused on certain sound other sounds could be drowned out or confused with something else.
Frenda waited for the truck to pass in front of her, the large truck had made it difficult to see, And when the truck had passed to the point where there was a small gap Frenda took an impossible shot the bullet had passed through a very small gap and then through the heads of the six men.
Awaki Musujime had quickly done her job, But during it, Frenda had heard. "Holy Fucking Shit! What a shot," In her earpiece.
Frenda enjoyed the praise and she hadn't even needed her semblance for the shot it was all through her training.
This had knocked the men down to ten and nobody was the wiser to what was happening around them, She had one bullet and she used it to quickly take out two more dropping it to eight men remaining, Frenda quickly loaded her last clip and from this point it was easy to take down the remaining 8 and she did it with only 2 bullets.
"Nicely done," Tsuchimikado said with praise.
Soon Frenda had met up with them outside of the large factory building and they got ready to infiltrate the building.
Motoharu Tsuchimikado pulled out a small pistol and then spoke to Awaki and Frenda. "Okay let's keep it stealthy, are intel says that a ranking member of The Scorpion Tails is inside this building, We keep him alive for interrogation, Which Frenda is the best at, I don't know his name but this is his picture."
Tsuchimikado showed them a photo of a man with a purple mohawk and a mustache.
"Ew, looks like a pedophile," Awaki Grimaced as she looked at the creepy-looking man.
"Like you?" Motoharu teased.
"W-wh-what!? I'm not a pedophile!"
"Oh yes, you are."
"Fuck you!"
"Well you're right you're not a pedophile," Frenda said which made Awaki happy but that was short-lived as Frenda continued. "In the end, You are specifically fixated on boys under the age of 13 so you're actually a hebephile, Which is still a form of pedophilia so All told you could still be called a pedophile."
"You guys suck, I have never fucked any kids before."
"In the end, you do realize that even just thinking about it makes you a pedophile right? You don't have to actually do it. Since you're a shotacon, you're a pedophile there is no way around that. Same goes for that Lolicon pervert over there."
"Oh yeah well, You like your little stepsister and she is technically still a Loli, So what does that make you? A Lolicon and a Siscon, So you're technically an ephebophile then, Because you like a girl who is 15 When you're older," Awaki pointed out with a smirk.
Frenda however, Didn't take that too well, She had nearly decked Awaki for that comment but stopped herself, This was only because Ruby Rose still hadn't woken up and she was very worried about her.
"At least I'm not drooling over little kids, 10 and under like you," Frenda retorted with sass.
"Whatever!"
Awaki really couldn't deny it, that was the truth as she does gawk over children and has thought about fucking little boys countless times. It was also true that she typically fixated on little boys ages 6 to 11, She was so jealous when she discovered that Kuroko Shirai was dating, Shaei Miyama back in Academy City.
"Look we don't have time for this banter, We have a job to do," Motoharu said as he loaded his pistol, bringing Frenda and Awaki back to the task at hand.
"Right," Frenda and Awaki said simultaneously.
Away through a cloaking device to Frenda who caught it. "You will need it."
"Yeah, In the end, thanks," Frenda responded.
The three perverts then headed towards the building.
Part 5.
The floor had been ripped out from a single strike from the blade in front of her, The tall blonde man standing across from Raven Branwen was something else entirely she hadn't even seen the man move and before she knew it she had to use her quick battle sense to move out of the way of a powerful attack, that would have probably done major damage to her aura otherwise.
(He is definitely strong, Very impressive indeed but, he has never faced a maiden, And while I may not be able to brandish much of my magic, I can still use it to enhance my body without raising too many questions, Let's see how he deals with facing real magic.)
With that thought Raven made a single move, her body had become a blur and she quickly closed the distance between her and the man known as Knight Leader, Her strike strong and True.
Dust and debris flew out in all directions, But Raven had felt it, she felt her sword stop and she knew this man had blocked her strike, When the dust cleared she saw exactly what she was expecting, She saw his blade and hers clashing, The man had incredible strength she wasn't expecting.
Knight Leader was holding her sword back with only one arm, In his other hand he held a dust crystal, with a quick move he threw the dust crystal onto the floor and, Raven Branwen, with quick thinking leaped back away from Knight Leader as an explosion of lightning dust rang out.
The explosion wasn't very large but enough to do some damage, she was luckily unscathed thanks to her quick mind. However this celebration was short-lived as she was suddenly struck, a slash hitting her from right, When she turned she saw Knight Leader, but what confused her was the fact that he seemed to be standing too far away to have landed a hit.
(How did he hit me from that far?)
Raven's answer soon came when she dodged a strike of wind that cut through the floor. It soon clicked in Raven Branwen's head. "I see, so you are able to mix your aura and dust into physical attacks? I must say you continue to impress me Knight Leader, it's a pleasure crossing swords with you," Raven praised with true honesty to her words.
"Hm, the pleasure is mine Raven Branwen," Knight Leader replied respectfully.
With quick moves as fast as lightning, Raven and Knight Leader began trading blows going all throughout the room, it was like a hurricane or a twister was tearing the place apart, It was both an impressive fight and a terrifying one all in the same.
"Goddamn she's strong," Miltia Malachite muttered under her breath. She and her sister Melanie Malachite were currently facing the girl they only knew as Yakumaru in a different part of the lobby, She was able to hold them both off and her gadgets were difficult for them to deal with, She utilized dust on the level of a Schnee.
However, on Yaku's side, she was also having some difficulty with the twins, They were both very formidable close-up fighters and she herself was not much of a physical fighter, she only had her dust gadgets, she didn't even have a semblance, She did have something strange she still didn't understand fully though. It was a strange power and she barely could control it, It was what made her the top-ranked in The Golden Cold, But she still didn't understand its properties.
Yaku dodged a kick from Miltia but was punched in the gut by Melanie then she dropped a frost grenade to the floor and jumped away, the frost had begun to cover Melanie and she was quickly losing all function of movement, but her sister was there to save her, She quickly heated up the frost melting it with some fire dust.
"Thanks, sis!" Melanie said as she jumped back into the fight. Miltia only smiled back at her sister.
Yaku readied a new gadget this one was a small drone and as she threw it out it flew into the air, despite it being quite small it looked dangerous and had two machine guns on the front which quickly began raining bullets on the two girls who had to take quick cover behind some lobby furniture, This was not very helpful though as it was being torn apart by the bullets.
Yaku quickly began tossing out more of these drones, there were 3 for each of them, and Miltia and Melanie had to split up and figure out a way to destroy the drones as they ran deeper into the hotel.
"Well done Yaku. Let's get out of here while they're busy with those drones, We made our splash as is," Quinn spoke out just behind Yakumaru, and then she and he both calmly made their way to the exit as The drones continued to chase the twins.
Sienna and Adam were finding this butler to be a huge annoyance, He wasn't technically over the top in power but his fighting method and his semblance was a strange one.
The man known as Johnathan Walnetizac seemed to have a semblance that allowed him to sharpen energy around an object to the sharpest point in possibility, He was currently using a simple deck of playing cards and he could cut through concrete with them like he was slicing through butter.
"Adam lookout!" Sienna called out to Adam Taurus as a card flying at incredible speeds came towards quickly turned and blocked it with his sword but that had not done a thing to the card, It had instead stuck into the marble flooring of the large lobby.
"I have to admit you two are quite the team, I admire great teamwork."
The voice of the butler known as Johnathan Walnetizac as he had told them earlier was always strangely calm in every situation, He had not even shown any emotion in his face at all, The man was completely devoid of any kind of volume at all, It was the strangest thing about him.
"Well, Why don't we show you that teamwork in full."
Adam had been charging up his semblance, Adam could absorb energy into a medium and then unleash it in a single strike that bypassed aura, as such it was considered his ultimate win move, With a well-placed strike he could easily take off Jonathan's head, And it would be simple.
Sienna seeing Adam's plan quickly helped him by distracting Jonathan, Swinging her chain axe around she moved to the man.
(I see, They are attempting to end this fight with the next attack from the boy, Very well then.)
Sienna's weapon swung into Johnathan who had blocked the attack with an arm only, using his aura to protect himself.
"Now! Adam!" Sienna called out as she kicked Jonathan in the necessary location.
Adam acted quickly, With a battle cry he sent out a slash of red energy that cut through aura, and this was no different, But the butler known as Johnathan Walnetizac had moved himself at the proper moment with excellent timing so that his head wouldn't be removed, yet his right hand had not been spared. The man didn't seem worried about his missing limb and with a well-placed kick, he sent Sienna back away from him.
What happened next shocked the two to their cores. The man simply picked up his hand and with lightning-fast speed he quickly stitched it back onto his body and focused all his aura to the appropriate spot on his body bending 100% of his Aura into the area where his quick work had been executed, And before their eyes his arm was quickly healed and was good as new, He removed the stitches and through them to the ground but not before cleaning then as to not creating cross-contamination.
He turned to the two shocked individuals and clapped in praise. "A well-placed strike and great teamwork. Well done."
Adam and Sienna didn't even understand what they had just seen the man had just literally reattached his hand to his body, and they had never seen or even heard of such Aura Control, it was unheard of. (Is this guy even human? He looks human, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this strange man was an android or alien, or some shit, What that was... It wasn't natural in any way or form, I have never seen anything like that before.) Sienna thought to herself as she was still trying to process what she had just witnessed right in front of her.
Jonathan then spoke aloud. "So should we continue?"
Little Miss aimed her shotgun at the annoying woman who started all of this, Xzalana Ekaterina, This woman had been the one who started creating doubt because of her greed.
Xzalana jumped to the right as Little Miss fired her shotgun, The two of these women had very similar fighting technique, only difference was that They had an opposing choice of weapon, Little Miss liked her shotguns with fire dust for incendiary ammo, while Xzalana preferred to use an SMG with Ice Dust rounds.
"I honestly can't believe that at one point we used to be friends Xzalana, you have really let your greedy attitude get the better of you."
"Please, like you also haven't been swimming in cash, don't even preach to me bitch! You were the one who created The Spiders and left me to fend for myself, I made something of myself with DarkTide and my organization is far beyond your poor excuse for a mafia."
Xzlalana shot multiple bullets into Little Miss's aura and then Little Miss kicked her back and into a chair by the table.
"Oh shut the fuck up! If you weren't out being a slut trying to sleep your way to the top and expecting handouts, You could have done the same fucking thing, But no you just had to be a fucking whore didn't you!?"
With a quick surprise attack, Xzalana's gun tip slammed into Little Miss's mouth and she began to bleed as her aura began healing the damage, then she fired several shots into her the shots breaking her aura, As neither of them had that much Aura.
"Is that what it always was? Huh, you jealous fat bitch!"
"Fuck you! I thought we could squash the bad blood and maybe we."
"There is no squashing shit, We will never be friends again," Xzalana sneered as she stomped on the hand of Little Miss that was reaching for her shotgun causing her to let out a high-pitched scream as the woman's high heel dug into the back of her hand.
Just to add to the torture, Xzalana twisted her heel back and forth threatening to pierce skin, making Little Miss scream out more and shake a bit from the intense pain.
"Now you can die and we will be good as rain."
Xzalana pointed her gun at Little Miss's head but before she could fire she had to move back away from a kick courtesy of Melanie Malachite. "Get away from our mother."
Miltia helped her mother back up as Xzalana looked at her situation, she was low on aura and she was in no condition to fight the twins so she used her only option.
"Maryanne Malachite, Mark my words I will win this war and you will be killed in the end. Oh, and I will be giving my support to Aihana Etsu."
With those final thoughts, she dropped a small device on the floor and a bright blinding light flashed out temporarily blinding, Little Miss Malachite and her daughters, When they began to get their sight back and hearing back they saw no sign of Xzalana.
Little Miss spit out some blood and stood with her daughter's support. "Fucking coward bitch."
Knight Leader and Raven Branwen's fight had been intense and at some point, Raven was able to send Knight Leader through the building wall, which was why the two were currently facing each other on the road.
At their current state, Raven Branwen had been able to use her magic to enhance her aura far beyond what was possible otherwise, currently she was faster and stronger than Knight Leader, And was utilizing her semblance which allowed her to create portals to anyone she had created a bond with, but it did more than that, She was also capable of going to any place she was seeing in real-time or has been beforehand, So in combat she was able to use it as a teleportation technique.
Raven was close to the red but not quite as much as Knight Leader. When she started using her semblance and her maiden powers she had turned the tides of battle.
Yet the man known as Knight Leader didn't seem phased and there was one thing that bothered Raven about this fight.
(He is down on aura, definitely near critical, and yet he is so calm, not to mention he has still yet to use whatever his semblance is. Why is he waiting? My only guess is there must be some drawback to his semblance, if not maybe he just wants to prove himself by not utilizing it, Or maybe he actually thinks he is so much stronger than me that he doesn't need it.) Raven went through multiple possibilities as to why Knight Leader hadn't yet used his semblance.
Knight Leader on the other hand was debating the very thing Raven Branwen was wondering. (Okay my aura is at 36% I have done quite a considerable amount of damage to her as well, But at this rate, she will defeat me, she had suddenly gotten stronger when we got outside and she started using her portal semblance, I figured that out already though so it won't be a problem, The only main issue is I can only use my semblance for 10 minutes, and when that time limit is up, I lose all my remaining aura regardless how much aura that is, So it is in my best interest that I get her aura just a bit lower before I use it.)
With his plan in action, he made his decision.
His blade risen, he made a move Raven hadn't seen yet, Focusing all his aura into a single point and direction, The man had moved at the speed of teleportation, Raven didn't have any time to react as his blade slammed into her aura, the force of the attack was incredible as is took a large chunk of her aura, this was not a big issue as Raven Branwen was more than capable of fighting even with no aura at all.
Raven was certain she was near critical she could feel it, But it was no skin off her nose, A portal had opened up next to Knight Leader and he quickly dodged her strike but was then hit surprisingly from another portal opening behind him and he was hit by a second Raven as the first one vanished.
(She can create duplicates?) This thought was accompanied by a strike that sent him down the road, Stopping upon contact with a street light.
Knight Leader could gage his aura internally, He knew that strike had left him at only 14% left, he hadn't planned to go into critical but he wasn't going to lose this fight, Due to his last hit he knew that Raven's aura was at about 40% so he knew she was close to critical as well.
(It's time then. 10 minutes, That's what I have to complete this fight, the secret to my semblance is I can use it even with 0.1% aura, and even if my aura is broken it will not dispel until that 10 minutes is up.)
And with that, Knight Leader activated his trump card. The man had been analyzing Raven Branwen completely and he had a very good grasp on her power, He knew her semblance, her aura attacks, her dust usage although that didn't really matter as he knew all the dust in Remnant already, so he wasn't worried about that.
Raven watched as the man walked over she moved back as he slashed at her head moving incredibly quickly, he was in critical aura so he could not enhance his body that far, As he didn't have much aura to alternate, But she was still impressed by how fast he was able to move even in critical.
Though Raven was confident in her victory as she moved to strike him he jumped away from her. (Oh no you don't.) Raven thought.
A red portal opened as she decided to quickly close the distance however, to her complete shock her portal had closed itself before she could even attempt to enter it, this had caught her off guard as Knight Leader's blade slammed into her sending her into a building behind her.
Raven stood up in complete disbelief as something like that had never happened before she could always use her portals. (What the fuck just happened?) Raven Branwen was completely perplexed, she didn't get anything in this moment.
Knight Leader stood in front of her, he had enjoyed Raven's strength and determination so he decided as a good sport and the gentleman he was he would explain it to her, at least to an extent.
"I can see your confusion, Allow me to explain, My semblance is called Zero Out, I can use It even with only 1% or even 0.1% of my aura, and what it does is allows me to turn anything I identify as an attempt to harm me to zero energy effectively making that element or force harmless against me. Once I have identified something it becomes an automatic activation and I don't have to use it on that force or element again as it has already become useless to me, The power of the force makes no difference, if I have identified it I can turn it to zero no expectations, There are some drawbacks, But at the end of the day, we are still enemies so I won't tell you what those are. As a final note, my brain is highly adaptable, it doesn't take me long to understand a new element or force harming me."
As Knight Leader finished explaining Zero Out, Raven took in all the information and she finally understood why Knight Leader is always so confident.
(There are drawbacks so he does avoid using it right off the bat, However, he takes a person down as low as he possibly can and then he uses this semblance, And during the fight, he is analyzing his opponent to the fullest, So that by the time he uses his semblance, he already understands everything about them, in other words, he can become basically invincible to them, And considering his skill and power. It's a very powerful semblance... in any normal circumstances it's an instant win technique, But I have maidens powers and a large arsenal of magic at my disposal, I doubt he has ever seen real magic used to its fullest and I'm sure he can't keep it up forever, But I can't get overconfident, If he can identify my magical attacks then he will become invincible to me. This certainly won't be easy.) Raven had her thoughts and plan in mind but properly executing it was a different matter entirely.
Raven wasn't going to underestimate his intelligence, She could only assume that he could identify her magic, So she needed to find something he couldn't identify and hope she could use it on repeat, and at this point, she had no way out as her semblance would just be zeroed out if she tried to use it, she was certain of that, So her only option was to fight.
"Okay, Then Knight Leader, Let's have a good battle between two truly strong individuals."
"Hn. Let's."
This was Knight Leader's only response as he readied himself for the upcoming battle, he just needed to identify any surprises and he already had a very good idea of what Raven would do, He made sure not to mention that his semblance only can last 10 minutes and that he will go to 0% when his semblance runs out regardless of the amount of aura when he activated it.
(I just need to defeat her before the 10-minute mark, If I reach that mark and she is still capable of fighting...)
Part 6.
Frenda Seivelun snuck around the facility, Staying as quiet as Ninja, She had done many stealth jobs back in Item so she was well versed in stealth, And thanks to her semblance she knew where every single camera and patrol drone was, as a bonus. Awaki Musujime's job was to stay in an area of the factory where she could teleport Frenda if she needed it, Frenda had no clue where she was but she was able to see the entire factory from wherever she took up refuge.
Motoharu on the other hand was pretending to be a guard as a form of backup, Frenda knew that Motoharu had magic in this world somehow and she knew it would come in handy, And his esper ability was powerful, He could pretty much heal from any wound or damage done to his body. Add to that his semblance which was a strange ability that allowed him to make his bullets hit people from a different location than he is aiming, Of course, it works on more than just his gun but that is just what he uses it for at the moment.
As for Awaki, She was a High-Level 4 teleporter who was on the edge of Level 5 and she could teleport people and herself without physical contact, In fact, she could even do so just by knowing their location, and her semblance was one that confused Frenda, It seemed to be a semblance that allowed her to manipulate an imaginary form of the 4 basic elements, So, Fire, Water, Air, and Earth, The only difference is she can manipulate multiple versions of each element and those elements affect the world and interact with other elements in an impossible way, Frenda remembered watching her create fire that was ice cold, sand that was boiling hot and liquid, water that manipulated sounds and could turn a person's very own blood toxic to them.
Lastly, she had created a gust of wind that turned objects into gold, It was no wonder Motoharu and Awaki didn't need money, Awaki was a literal walking bank, The best way Frenda could grasp it was by seeing it as elemental control with imaginary effects that didn't make sense in scientific physics, she actually saw it a bit similar to The #2's Dark Matter, But more limited as he could literally create anything, but Awaki is limited to the four basic elements, But she could have many different outcomes, Frenda had actually wondered if Awaki had endless effects if she did then Frenda decided that it was a very overpowered semblance, That could probably combat The #1's Vector Reflection.
Frenda put her thoughts aside as she moved quickly around a corner, a guard walking around the opposite end made his way towards her and she ducked behind a nearby container, When he was about to pass he suddenly turned right in the direction of Frenda and began to make his way to her spot. Thinking very quickly she made a move, grabbing the man and pulling him in a headlock she sunk a dagger laced with Sharp Dust into his neck and twisted it.
The man struggled and choked in his own blood, a smile adorned Frenda's lips as the man slowly died in her arms. Frenda had forgotten how good it felt to kill, She used to really enjoy it, and going back into this, She was enjoying it all over again, Frenda removed her blade and cloaked the man's body and the blood that had spilled out, Then Awaki from wherever she was teleported the body someplace.
"You're quite fast and efficient aren't you, You didn't even hesitate to take that man's life," Awaki Musujime teased through Frenda's earpiece.
Frenda didn't answer her and only continued with her objective, She had an assortment of throwing knives and a dagger, she laced with Sharp Dust, an experimental dust from Vesper Corp. That was able to cut through aura, so it allowed her to make quick kills and stay quiet. There were defenses. If somebody outsourced their aura to the proper position in the exact moment they could defend, Or if someone just had too strong of an aura it wouldn't work, Frenda was certain that it wouldn't work on Cinder Fall, Weiss Schnee, Or her sisters.
All of them had high amounts of aura and it was quite strong in each of them, Especially Weiss Schnee, She had aura that was even stronger than Winter Schnee's, Frenda had been able to see aura and Weiss's was very potent and powerful, Frenda imagined what Weiss could do if she got full control of it, Frenda had already seen that Weiss had the brain of an Esper, if she ever was to gain a personal reality she may even have Level 5 potential.
But these little thugs with low aura were no issue, It could easily cut through.
Frenda came to a hallway heading to the back of the factory, She saw two men having a conversation at the end of this hallway blocking her path, With expert precision she threw two knives into the back of the man's heads and they dropped to the floor without a sound out of their mouths, Frenda had made sure to put them to sleep upon entry of the knives into the back of their brains.
Frenda moved over and removed her knives but not before pushing in and twisting her knives around to cut deeper and tear through their brains ensuing their deaths, Frenda knew a lot about the human and faunus body, And she knew that a headshot didn't always kill the target, so she wanted to make sure that her victims were dead.
"Who are..."
The man who had just come out of a nearby room, had a knife sticking out of his throat before he even could see what happened, the raccoon faunus man fell against the doorframe behind him and slumped down to the floor, Gurgling and hacking in sounds of liquid choking, Crimson blood poured out of his throat and down onto his shirt. Frenda grabbed the handle and drug it across the left side of the man's neck before removing it, With that she cloaked them and Awaki took care of the rest.
(Okay how many more are on patrol?) Frenda thought as she moved further in, A drone came down another hallway flying closer and would detect her immediately, But luckily she was suddenly teleported passed it.
"I'll help you with the drones."
Frenda thanked Awaki and continued on to the back and up to an elevator, using her semblance she checked if anyone was on the floor she was headed to, and to her luck no patrol, just two people guarding the entrance to the leader's office.
She got on and selected the 5th floor, As the elevator went up, her mind went back to Beacon and Ruby Rose. (In the end, this is all for Ruby, Mark Fringe is going to fucking pay, That's a promise. Please wake up Ruby.)
Frenda had only one thought and that was Ruby Rose the girl she loved, And her stepsister sort of, Frenda Seivelun had sworn to make the person she only knew as Mark Fringe pay for hurting her stepsister.
The elevator got to the top floor, Floor five, She stepped out into an empty hallway, it could only go one way and it didn't have the concrete texture of the rest of the factory, Frenda stepped out onto lush carpet and looked around at the walls that were a cream color, It looked like a hotel hallway.
Frenda walked down and heard the chatter of two men right around the corner, This was cut short due to a repeat of before with two knives going directly into their throats and this time before they could fall and alert the man inside the office she enhanced her aura, moving quickly, she caught them and brought them to the ground slowly.
Then she twisted her knives and made sure the two were dead then she removed her knives, Then Frenda placed a charge on the door and clicked a button on a small cylinder detonator, The door exploded and she walked into the office.
"WHAT THE FUCK!" The man in the room behind the desk who was playing Dustnite instead of doing his work had gone to reach for a panic button on the wall behind him, but this would not happen as a knife stuck through his hand while also sticking his hand to the wall as he let out a scream, The human man had attempted to remove the knife, But Frenda quickly moved to him in what felt like an instant, she grabbed the handle and twisted it.
The man let out another high-pitched scream and begged her to stop which in turn had the opposite effect as Frenda actually quite enjoyed the man's suffering and pleading. She twisted the blade more and grabbed his face shoving him to the wall. "Aihana Etsu, You know that name don't you?"
The man's face became one of shock, this told Frenda that he did indeed know who Aihana Etsu was. "I can't if she found out she would kill me."
With her inner Shizuri Mugino coming out Frenda slammed his head against the wall twice before squeezing tightly and speaking once more. "I can kill you right now, Or you can deal with hiding from The Claw, So how do you want it, You want to die right here? Or juggle your chances of living life on the run?" Frenda's voice was calm and smooth in an almost creepy way, and just to make her point she pulled her knife out but then quickly stuck it back in, but this time at a different spot in his hand creating a fresh wound, And then she pulled it out again and stuck it back into the first wound again.
The man was crying and screaming through the entire experience as his hand bled out more, Frenda was beginning to blush and her body was feeling a certain satisfaction. "Okay! Okay! Okay! I get it! I get it! Please stop! No more! I'll give you all I have! Please stop!" The man begged, fear and pain evident in his eyes while tears also poured down his face.
Frenda twisted one last time before pulling her knife out of his hand, The man quickly moved to his computer and put a flash drive in the machine, he then began transferring files to it, And when it was done he handed it to Frenda.
"Here, this is all the information we have on The Claw and Aihana Etsu, All of their Drug labs, Strongholds, Wepaons dealing facilities, everything I swear."
Frenda accepted the drive and then she grabbed the man around the throat which frightened him. "Please! I gave you what you wanted! Don't kill me, please! I ugh..."
The man couldn't speak anymore as Frenda squeezed a bit more and he tried to struggle but was quickly going limp, Soon he began to lose consciousness, She kept this up until the man passed out.
Frenda wasn't going to kill him but she didn't need him hitting the panic button the moment she exited the room so she put him to sleep and laid him on the couch, She then pulled out her medical kit, Cleaned his wounds and wrapped his hand and bandaged him up, She also wrapped his head, And put a portable mini ice pack on it. He gave her what she needed so while she was getting back into her darkness, Ruiko Saten's words still rang in her head, About being inconsiderate even to her enemies.
The old Frenda back in Academy City before meeting Ruiko Saten would have actually just killed the man anyway but Frenda couldn't bring herself to do that after he complied and helped her.
(Damn it, In the end, This guy is going to be killed by his superiors, even if I made it look like a struggle he will still be killed for his betrayal.)
Frenda didn't know what she was doing or why, But she decided to carry the man, enhancing her aura, And she opened the window, Then she jumped out of the room with him in her arms, She attached a special hook to the window seal and landed safely.
Awaki Musujime and Motoharu Tsuchimikado had both appeared out of nowhere. "Good thinking he may still be useful, So..."
Awaki Musujime was cut off by Frenda's next words. "No, that's not going to happen... Here."
Frenda threw the drive to her, Confusing Awaki. Motoharu stood by understanding fully what Frenda was doing.
"We'll see you back at the base then."
Those were the blonde boy's only words to her.
Frenda didn't answer and only began to walk away, It took quite a walk to The Spiders tunnels, There were tunnel cars that were completely AI-powered, like most of the cars in Remnant, They traveled through the tunnels over long distances, It was mainly used to transport drugs and weapons between kingdoms under the radar, But sometimes they were also used for human trafficking, Frenda happened to know this particular tunnel was sent to the heart of Mantle.
It should have been safe for travel, Frenda placed an Atlas pass on the man's chest with a note that said. 'Start over and don't die' Frenda started the car and closed the door, It would send him to Mantle where he could get to Atlas, She chose Atlas because The Claw didn't operate in Atlas, many Dark Side Organizations didn't, But The Claw also didn't have any operations in Mantle.
The man would be safe in Atlas, Frenda had even left him with some extra money as well just to make sure he could hide out in Atlas safely.
Once all was said and done she made her way back to Vacant's base.
When Frenda got back to the base and went into the fancy hotel room that Awaki and Motoharu stayed in as their operating hideout, She walked in and kicked off her shoes sitting on the bed, Her stocking-clad feet resting on the carpet as she relaxed.
This entire hotel was owned by Vacant it was their Vale base, Frenda was impressed when she learned that Vacant had a base in every kingdom and that Molly Mayham was actually Vacant's leader, something she never told Frenda before.
Awaki Musujime had been at the computer and she looked up to see Frenda who was back just in time.
"Good, We got some good Intel, So apparently Aihana Etsu has been in contact with The Scorpion Tails and she also has been apparently showing up with somebody else, According to this report someone with a metal mask who called themselves, R.Y, This file had everything, we even have The Claw's head location," Awaki explained as she sent the images to the float screen.
Motoharu had come through the door with dinner and it just smelt like fast food but Frenda didn't complain though she would have preferred a real meal but she did still like Lendy's. Remnant's version of Wendy's, Before Remnant she had never eaten Wendy's since there was no Wendy's in Academy City and she had never been to America where it was most popular and originated, He got some burgers and fries, a quick and easy meal.
Lendy's was exactly how she had heard Wendy's was they even had The Baconater, it was strange that Remnant had everything Earth did just under different names and with some differences, Pizza Dust, and McBonald's. It was as if Remnant really was a parallel Earth, It was even the exact same size as Earth and had the same population of 7 billion people, however, there were still certain things that were only on Remnant and some things that were only on Remnant, Like Joseph's in Academy City and America, Remnant didn't have a Joseph's anywhere.
Frenda Seivelun had even thought of maybe opening a Joseph's herself in the future, It could be a good business option, She did love cooking and she could use all her recipes for her very own Joseph's.
Motoharu passed everyone two bacon cheeseburgers and a large fry with a large coke.
One thing Frenda will never understand is why Lendy's/Wendy's makes square patties on round buns, She always thought they should be square buns, as it would make more sense, But she guessed it was just their way. (In the end, Imagine a Lendy's pattie with Argus Toast, All told, that would be delectable.) Frenda thought as she unwrapped one of her burgers.
While they ate they began to brief on their next operation.
"We should hire some goons to storm the place, I doubt we can do this stealthily," Awaki Musujime declared as she took a fry and put it in her mouth.
"That is an idea, But the problem is, If we go straight in like that, Not only do we risk a massive fight but we also risk the possibility of law enforcement, The base is in a pretty populated location in the city, so In the end, somebody will definitely call the police and then we will have another problem on our hands," Frenda pointed out taking a bite of her bacon cheeseburger.
"Frenda is right, So what should we do? If we make too much noise we bring cops, if we sneak in we will definitely be caught," Motoharu wondered as he finished off one of his burgers.
Then Frenda Seivelun got a crazy idea, One that was incredibly risky and dangerous.
Part 7.
In an unknown location. A certain person who had a metal mask was sitting in a chair with monitors all around.
They smiled under the mask as they had just watched Frenda Seivelun sneak into a factory that was owned by The Scorpion Tails. "I knew it was a good idea to put all those hidden invisible cameras in that place during my visit, I also took into account Frenda's semblance, I had them designed specifically against it."
"Well, then I think tonight will be the night my love, We are going to meet... Again."
Part 8.
"Fucking god! Please stop!"
Another cut slashed into the chest of the man who was currently bound to a chair in the kitchen of this suburban home, He didn't even know what had happened or how he got in the situation.
The girl in front of him who looked no older than 14 or 15, had snuck into his home and tied him up, raped him with a strap-on, and then tied him to a chair in his own kitchen.
The girl known as Olivia Crystal Vesper was simply killing time as she waited for her call from her partner Mark Fringe, She walked back to the pot on the stove And stirred the soup she was cooking, She decided to make herself some dinner with the man's supplies and of course she would share.
When her soup was done she got herself a big bowl, and then she looked at the man. "Here you go I will share with you."
Olivia picked up the large pot of soup and before the man could react she dumped all of the burning hot soup all over him causing him to scream as she laughed at his pain, it was worse because the cuts she put on him earlier were now burning from the soup and his skin was scolding, The man could only scream and cry as Olivia sat on the counter and began eating her soup.
She watched the man suffer and it turned her on, Even though she already satisfied herself with him in that regard earlier, She still began to touch herself as she ate but she was soon interrupted by a call on her scroll.
Olivia answered and as she expected it was her partner, Mark Fringe. "Yes? Is it time?"
"Yeah, We're moving, Get done with whatever you are doing, We are going after the one known as Zachary Verellan The contract was from Grimmlin, That's his only name I don't know much else about him besides that, But it's a different job, I will brief you, meet me at the location I'm going to send you."
Mark hung up and then Olivia got a text with a location of a nearby fast food restaurant. She just had her dinner but she didn't mind maybe getting some dessert, she loved the pies at McBonald's.
She got up and walked over to the man. "Well honey bun, I have to go, So I'm afraid this is the end of our fun together."
Olivia leaned down and ran her tongue up the side of the man's cheek leaving behind a sticky trail of her saliva before plunging a knife into his heart, She twisted it as the man slowly died. "A knife to the heart is so romantic isn't it Olivia?" Olivia asked herself.
"It absolutely is just lovely Olivia," Olivia answered back to herself.
Olivia pulled the knife out of the man's heart and walked out leaving the man's body, She knew her family would clean up the mess and cover her tracks for her so she didn't bother with cleaning up the blood or the cum, Her elder brother would handle everything.
She hummed happily to herself as she headed to meet her partner Mark.
Part 9.
The strike with her aura had vanished upon contact with the man known only as Knight Leader, It had seemed that Knight Leader already identified Raven Branwen's aura and as such he could turn it to zero, This was the issue Raven Branwen was having, She was trying to avoid him as much as possible, She couldn't hold him back easily, he was very strong and his semblance only made him more of a problem.
Raven was certain that he couldn't keep it up forever though, she was sure she could, She wasn't sure how long he could hold this power but she wanted to wait to use her magic against him. Raven was looking for any signs of strain on the man, he had told her about Zero Out, And a bit of how it worked.
(According to what he said, he can continue to use Zero Out even after all his aura was gone, so even when he would otherwise be vulnerable he still has a defense, This semblance is ridiculous, And if he identifies my magic I'm fucked.)
Raven's thoughts were interrupted when she had to duck under a wide swing, But she was suddenly hit with gravity dust, her body flew back and through the air, Knight Leader was suddenly behind her, his shoe slammed into her face and Raven was sent back in the other direction and her body lay upon the ground in a small crater, an aching pain in her head from the attack.
(Even with his aura in critical he can still move at incredibly fast speeds, This is quickly becoming more of a problem, I may need to use my magic early.)
"I'm afraid there is nothing you can do Raven, I have already identified your semblance and aura, I also know all the dust on Remnant as well so dust will not work against me. This fight is at its end... But don't fret, I will give you a valiant death."
Knight Leader's body vanished and Raven raised her sword blocking his as the two blades clashed Raven was becoming overwhelmed by the man's strength and sheer power, She pushed back against him and finally was able to get a hold of herself.
This was the moment, Raven had decided it was time, She focused herself and a massive explosion of energy and elements rang out, Knight Leader's shoes scrapped along the ground as he was sent back skidding until he stabbed his blade into the road to stop himself.
Knight Leader looked back at Raven and what he saw astounded him, He watched as Raven's feet lifted off the ground and her eyes glowed, as a strange and new power he had never before seen in Remnant presented itself to him, As he watched the power it felt strangely familiar to him in a certain way he didn't quite get yet.
Raven charged up her newly shown power and Knight Leader quickly dodged an arcane beam, The pure white energy burned through the road as it moved, Tearing a massive gash through it as well as cutting the building behind him in half with a single move.
(I haven't identified that power yet and from that display, if she hit me with that it would have destroyed my aura and probably torn through my body as well, I need to learn what that power is or she could easily turn this fight around.)
These were the thoughts running through the mind of the Magician at this moment, he wished he still had his original magic, this wouldn't have been a problem at all if he still had access to magic and could use the power of a saint, but alas he didn't have that power and he had to make do with what Remnant provided him.
Knight Leader moved to Raven quickly and his blade flung out in an attempt to get in a quick hit but a sudden energy formed around Raven in the form of a shield which in turn blocked the attack as Knight Leader's blade bounced off the energy harmlessly.
Raven then raised her right hand and Knight Leader felt his body launch itself to his right and into a nearby truck, then back into an opposite building before being launched down the road, As he performed a quick flip and righted himself he quickly realized that Raven was capable of moving things or people telekineticly.
His thoughts were put to rest as he jumped on top of the building he was in front of as several cars and trucks slammed into it where he was just standing, His aura was only at 2% but he had such a powerful aura control he could still utilize it well even in deep critical, The trucks and cars exploded putting a few holes and cracks in the building.
"You certainly are good a running away!" Raven taunted as she lifted another car.
Knight Leader had also easily dodged this as well. (Okay, So her telekinesis has a limited distance, which is why she isn't using it on me directly, I need to be ready for the next attack.)
The next car Raven threw he was ready for and he turned it to zero, The explosion enveloped him and as Raven thought she may have finally got him she saw the man was completely unharmed.
(Damn that semblance.) Raven was getting sick of Zero Out, Storm clouds began to circulate the sky above and it began to rain sharp ice, That was stabbing through the buildings and the road.
To the dismay of Raven Branwen, she saw her attack have no effect on the man called Knight Leader, The hailstorm was only falling harmlessly around him. (How!? He couldn't have already...)
Knight Leader was familiar with effects like the ones he had just witnessed, And he was highly interested in this world even more, He originally had believed that Remnant had no magic, But this was full proof of its existence, And Raven Branwen was a Magician, This was an interesting revelation.
Raven couldn't believe he had discovered her magic so quickly, She was wondering though how he would handle all the different spells she could cast. Raven wondered how he would handle her MAGYK, In Remnant spells were special energies that were shaped into a form, but there was also an Ancient Magic, Special spells that had many different effects, Than core magic and elemental magic these were called, MAGYKS, and Raven Branwen knew a lot about Magic and she controlled many different MAGYKS not as many as Ozpin or Salem but she could utilize the Ancient Arts well enough.
Raven had decided this would be the end of this battle.
Knight Leader watched perplexed when Raven Branwen brought her blade to her own hand and deactivated her aura before cutting into her own hand. The blood dripped to the ground and soon Raven muttered Ancient words, The blood had formed a mysterious pattern and ignited in flames of many different colors around her, The power of this strange magic enveloped her body.
Raven pointed her index finger at the building Knight Leader was standing on top of and it shattered into dust as if it had destroyed itself from the inside, the man quickly jumped back onto the road.
Raven quickly pointed at Knight Leader and he felt several of his bones begin to shatter and some of his internal organs burst, The man coughed up a large amount of blood as he fell to his knees as he choked and coughed, He was out of aura and couldn't heal himself, But he persisted and stood up quickly moving to Raven Branwen he struck her and she took a slash to her middle, A large gash of crimson began to form.
All he had to do was identify the magic Raven was utilizing, if he could identify each spell he could simply turn it to zero, But could he figure it out before he died in this fight? This he was not sure of.
Raven sighed, this was the issue with The Ancient Arts, One could not use it with aura, they had to either lose it or send it away, This was why Raven often didn't use MAGYK and only stuck to normal Magic.
Raven swung her blade into Knight Leader but the impact was turned to zero, Then she jump-kicked him across the road.
Slashing his blade upwards with fire dust out came a grout of flames that covered the road and Raven quickly blocked it, When she looked back she saw no sign of Knight Leader.
"He ran away?"
Raven looked around and after confirming the man was gone she opened a portal that didn't close on her and left, going back to her camp.
About a block away Knight Leader spat out blood as he coughed and leaned against the wall of an alley, It was too close, just as he sent out the final attack his 10-minute mark had been hit, Thinking quickly he had used the fire as a means to escape, He would have been dead if he had continued. The man smiled to himself. "Thank you for a great battle Raven Branwen."
Knight Leader had learned something new and interesting, Magic was real in this world as well, He needed to find some way to get his hands on it, with that thought he walked back to the DarkTide hideout he would need to recover for some time.
Part 10.
Walking next to her partner, Olivia Crystal Vesper was eating her pie, It had been some time before she could eat it as it was burning hot when she got it, She didn't know how McBonald's pie was always so hot, Were they trying to burn peoples tongues off?
Next to her, her partner Mark Fringe was already walking with his weapon drawn, They walked into the building before them like they owned the place.
Many men with guns all turned to the two and pointed their weapons at the two kids who also had weapons.
"Oh, how fun!" Olivia exclaimed excitedly as she took another bite of her pie licking some cherry filling off her lips, She targeted a man in the room and before he knew what happened his head was removed, Olivia licked the blood off her knife and smiled. "Yum, Blood, and cherry go well together."
Mark had also begun his assault as he began cutting people to pieces with his sword, slicing through the men like paper, he killed them without a single emotion showing on his features, He truly looked like a cold blooded emotionless monster, Several shots rang out but to the man who fired surprise, the boy in front of him had vanished before him and he suddenly had been cut open, The man's guts spilled out as the boy sheathed his blade taking down the enemy.
He watched his partner Olivia tearing through the room as well, She stabbed a man several times before throwing the same knife already covered in blood in the head of the man behind her, he collapsed to the ground and Olivia stomped on the handle forcing it deeper into the man's brain.
As she did she stuck her tongue out of her mouth in an almost silly fashion and giggled.
She removed her knife and joined her partner. "All done that was fun."
"Don't celebrate there will definitely be more," Mark Warned as he checked the body and found a key card.
"More fun," Olivia said with a smile.
He and his partner Olivia walked deeper into the VPD (Vale Police Department.) compound, They went through killing anyone who attempted to stop them simply walking through and occasionally cutting down a man or woman.
Mark did this quickly and diligently, While Olivia played around and continued eating her pie in the process.
They eventually got to what they were searching for a database on all the prisoner and criminals on watch locations, And Olivia worked her magic, She quickly found the location of the boy named Zachary Verellan, Somebody the police had apparently arrested on several occasions, And now kept tabs on the boy and knew where he was often.
"According to this, Zachary is a member of Dark Dragon, And he has been arrested countless times, Interesting for a 15-year-old, There is no other information here, But we should be able to find him easily if he is in a gang like Dark Dragon," Olivia mused as she licked her lips sexily. She then added. "He looks like fun maybe I'll see what his cock can do before we kill him or after, or maybe both."
"You better not fuck his corpse around me I swear," Mark grimaced feeling like bile was threatening to come up at the thought of his sick partner's antics, He truly never wanted to meet another member of the Vesper family ever.
After they got their information, Olivia had finally finished her pie and they exited the VPD compound the same way they entered it, through the front door.
Part 11.
Her hands were bound and a blindfold was wrapped around her eyes, She was currently in the back of a van, This van was being driven by members of the group known as The Claw. Frenda Seivelun had come up with a very insane idea, This idea was to give herself over to Aihana Etsu.
It happened pretty quickly, She had Awaki teleport her to one of The Claw's hideouts and then she walked right through the front door of the place and raised her hands in the air. After that Frenda had simply told them who she was and let them capture her without resistance.
The men and women had captured her, tied her hands together and searched her, Frenda didn't feel good being touched all over by men, as the women didn't touch her but it was a quick process, They wouldn't have found anything anyway.
Moments before Frenda went through with her plan she gave all of her weapons and equipment to Awaki Musujime, Who had commented on how Frenda was able to keep so many weapons and equipment on her even though she wore a skirt, and didn't carry a bag, She had asked Frenda if she had some type of pocket dimension or something.
Frenda had laughed and responded that if she had something like a pocket dimension she wouldn't need to give Awaki her weapons and equipment in the first place, To which Awaki kicked herself for asking such a dumb question as she was literally accepting Frenda's stuff, After that Frenda executed her crazy plan.
This is why she is currently in the back of a van with no eyesight, But thanks to both her intelligence and semblance she knew exactly where she was going, Frenda could tell what directions were taken and what part of the city she was in.
Frenda sat back quietly and waited patiently, She was unfortunately unable to be followed by Awaki, This was because a high-tech sensor system was attached to the van and they had a camera disabling system so cameras shut down as they passed them, This meant that Frenda was going into this with no equipment and she wouldn't be able to use her backup, She only had her Semblance and her esper power, along with the small poison needle in her mouth, This was her only piece of her equipment at the moment.
Frenda was in a location unknown to Awaki and Motoharu, But she knew all she had to do was get a single out and she would be able to alert Awaki of her location and then Awaki could teleport all her equipment to her, It was a good plan in theory, But Frenda had worked on the Dark Side for a long time back in Academy City even before Item and she knew that plans always go up in flames.
She prepared herself for everything to go haywire, and Frenda Seivelun wouldn't have to wait long for that to happen because in the very next moment she sensed 3 vehicles approaching fast, One of them slammed into the side of the van and caused it to skirt in the road as the driver tried to maintain control.
"What the fuck is this!? How did we not detect it!?" One of the men shouted.
Then he leaned out of the window and began firing a gun at the car behind them, Frenda didn't know what was happening but she could tell it wasn't Vacant, So it had to be a different organization that was currently attacking The Claw, Frenda debated if she should attempt to send out a signal to Awaki Musujime right now in this situation.
"Fuck off mother fuckers!" A man shouted firing at the cars behind, Another slam and the van swerved back and forth as it nearly crashed into a pole, the driver made a quick decision and turned down a different road then he drove into a nearby mall parking lot and then drove through the doors of the mall, civilians quickly got out of the way of the speeding vehicles and many were ran over.
(In the end, Mugino would have kicked my ass if I made a decision like this back in Item.) Frenda thought in disbelief as the driver had just actively made a decision to murder innocent civilians by driving through an active mall.
Gunshots still rang out and many civilians were being caught in the crossfire as the two opposing forces continued to shoot at each other, Finally they came to the back of the mall and drove out back onto the road, The cars made their way to a bridge on a freeway and many more civilians were being murdered due to this chaos.
With final slam Frenda felt the van leave the road and they were now falling down a hill, And the car crashed into a tree, Soon she could sense several men approaching, and then she heard. "What the fuck!? We are on the same!..."
Whatever the person who was speaking was about to finish saying was cut short when Frenda heard several gunshots ring out.
Then she felt the van door being opened before she felt pain in her neck, It was definitely a needle and it acted fast because she felt herself quickly losing consciousness and soon she was out cold.
When Frenda came to she wasn't tied up and she was laying on a couch in an unknown location, The room was small and empty safe for a single desk, A chair and a light, Then she looked around and soon spotted a man.
He was dressed in very fancy attire but his state of dress was not what shocked Frenda it was that he had a spider tattoo on his the right side of his neck and Frenda wondered if this was because The Spiders had discovered she was hacking their accounts, For her extra money without needing Molly's loans.
"Please don't worry Frenda Seivelun we don't wish to hurt you or anyone you care for," The man said calmly.
Frenda Seivelun knew how the Dark Side worked, she easily could read between his words. (Yeah right, In the end, he said that they don't wish to hurt me, that doesn't mean they won't, And he mentioned my family in a sly way to tell me they know about them, it was an unsaid threat, They want something from me and they are going to use my family as leverage.)
Frenda finished her thoughts and turned to the man. "Cut to the chase, In the end you want me for something."
"Very observant, Impressive Ms. Seivelun," The man began then he took a sip of some tea he had, He sat in the chair and crossed his legs, he then continued. "Yes, You're correct, I require something from you, You may have noticed The Spiders tattoo? Yes I do belong to them, but I also belong to The Claw, I was with The Claw before The Spiders, And I have something I need from you."
The man paused taking another sip from his drink. "I need you to take out a man named Patrick Walnetizac, he calls himself Patrick Rodogun, and Shark."
The man could see that Frenda was confused so he went on to explain about how The Claw worked and what wearing the adamantium mask meant.
"My name is Johnathan Walnetizac, I have to get the mask before Shark, You see our previous leader had a negative semblance that was too powerful for Shark to get around, So he organized things so that The Stone would be killed, He knew Aihana Etsu could do it, Which she did. Shark however has been studying Aihana Etsu for awhile now and he has discovered a counter to her semblance, He wants to use this Dark Side War to slowly tear her down."
"Then he wants to take the mask, My brother will not be a good leader for our organization, So it's simple I need you to either kill my brother, Shark, I mean I doubt that Aihana Etsu is good leader, She is an arrogant spoiled girl, Not anyone I would want leading me, But I can handle Aihana Etsu, I just need to make sure Shark is off the board. I have been studying you for a bit, After you hacked into The Spiders accounts your very special Frenda Seivelun, Two Semblances is unheard of."
(In the end, he knows about my esper ability.)
"So, you kill my brother, I will kill Aihana Etsu, My semblance will directly combat hers, And My brother can't get the mask, If you do this I promise you I will change The Claw, And I will provide anything you need, We would be good allies to have," Jonathan finished explaining as he took another sip of tea.
(In the end, once again he is saying unspoken threats, He said that they would be good allies implying that if I turn him down we will be enemies, And he already made it a point earlier he knows my family. So he is forcing me to work with him, All told, he is sending a hidden threat that if I was to say no we will become enemies and he will target those I care about the most, Fine I will play along, I have no choice, In the end.)
Frenda agreed to work with Johnathan Walnetizac and the man smiled, he thanked her and told her she wouldn't regret her decision, Frenda didn't trust him one bit, After the exchange was made he decided to try and gain her trust by telling her who Aihana Etsu really was and all the information he knew about her.
It was a small gesture, it didn't make Frenda trust this man at all though, She could easily see a future where they will be fighting each other.
(As I thought Kaede Ibotanokikouji is pretending to be Aihana Etsu again, Kaede Nath huh? So she has a different name and a new family like me.)
As she was about to leave a large explosion that shook the building rang out, Frenda had turned back only to find that Jonathan was gone. (He must have a secret way out or a teleporter.)
Frenda quickly pulled the needle out of her mouth, she could probably slip out in the commotion but she may have to take down some of the members in her escape, if so she wanted to do that quietly.
That was the plan but that wouldn't be needed because when Frenda exited the office she came into the large room of an empty store, It was probably one of The Claws hidden businesses.
Frenda looked around and saw bodies everywhere scorched to and cut in pieces, She looked around wondering what could have caused such carnage so quickly, Frenda saw this destruction looking very familiar, the patterns of the marks and burns were an exact match.
(In the end, It couldn't possibly be.) Frenda Seivelun's thoughts were interrupted by a voice, one that filled her with a deep fear, A voice she never wanted to hear in a situation like this.
"Hello Frenda, Looks like you are here too, Guess we are on opposite sides this time around, Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Well this is interesting isn't it? Looks like I get to kill you twice."
Frenda Seivelun turned and looked at the female who just spoke standing before her was a girl with long tea colored hair and brown eyes, This woman was Academy City's #4 Shizuri Mugino, The Meltdowner.
"Well, ready to die again?"
End of Chapter 14.
Shizuri Mugino!? What is going on!? I have no clue, Anyway that's the Chapter, Hope you liked this one, as I said it was going to get darker, and things will only get darker in this Dark Side War.
I know that I didn't put any of Beacon in this chapter, There won't be that much of Beacon except for some key moments, and The Breach which will still happen, but that takes place in the last chapter of Volume 2 so it's a ways off, But next chapter we will get to see what is going on at Beacon and what is going on with everyone, How people like Yang, Weiss and Blake are taking Ruby's hospitalization.
I have things going in a certain direction to have certain characters meet, We will also see a surprise character join the Dark Side War, Next Chapter may not be as big as this one, But we will see.
Frenda isn't holding back anymore, she is killing and torturing again, She will do anything to get to Mark Fringe, expect to see more of her ruthless in the coming chapters.
So I gave Frenda a better arsenal because I felt like the stuff she was using was pretty boring, So the illegal dust will definitely change her fights, Her having it will give Weiss the idea to make a certain type of dust, those who read both stories know about.
Speaking of new arsenal, I wanted to expand further than the show on the technology so I decided to say that Remnant is officially in its 24th century so all the technology in Remnant is about 300 years ahead of Academy City, this gives me more freedom to add a ton of cool technology to both stories, So we will see whatever cool technology my brain can come up with and I also use Ideas from stuff like Star Wars, Star Trek, I Robot, Etc.
So I have been thinking about it, I came up with some ideas for a team name for Mitsuko Kongou's team, And I decided and while I had some ideas I thought that given Mitsuko's personality and the way she puts herself on a pedestal I bet she would demand her team be named after her, so I'm going to use her last name, so it's just Team Kongou, Her friends would agree because they are major simps for her and Kobayashi probably wouldn't care.
So, I explained Maki's Semblance through Frenda's thoughts but I didn't put much detail on it though.
I'm planning to make Data Books for the stories to better explain the abilities, semblances, skills, gadgets etc. I think I will and just do it of characters that have either unlocked something new or are OC's, to give a deep dive on all their info, Each chapter will be about a certain character, Either RWBY, To Aru, or OC, And it will explain just about everything about them, In an in depth deep dive of every aspect, I would have to have the character be known for quite some time and seen in the story already so look out for that, each chapter would look something like this.
Maki Sandra. Number 48.
Semblance. Suicide Command.
Maki's Semblance allows her to telepathically send a command to the brain, through the brain's electrical signals to force the target to take their own life.
This can work on any targets within her field of vision regardless if they are looking at her or not,She can even do this through live broadcast or cameras and there is no limit to the amount of people she can affect.However, this ability can be fought against if the one under it has a strong enough will to live, She is also incredibly skilled with weapons and has a high aura count.Her ability also will not work on any other mentally based semblances.
This is a little preview of the future Data Book.
Well that's the notes, As always thank you for reading and I hope your having a great day, feel free to leave me a comment if you have questions or just want to say something both appreciation and criticism are welcome Thank you again and I'm out.
