The ruins of a castle were shown under a dark red sky as Rage began to sing, accompanied by his usual ominous music. "~When the world is full of Wyverns, the legend is revived~ Meat is eaten, bone is crunched and blood is sucked up dry~ He burns the Earth and melts through iron~ He boils the rivers and mows down trees~ He awakens the winds an inferno~ He is called Fatalis, the Wyvern of destiny~ He is called Fatalis, the Wyvern of destruction~ Call for help, run for your lives and don't forget to pray to the skies~ He is called Fatalis, the Wyvern of destiny~ He is called Fatalis, the Wyvern of destruction~ Fatalis, Fatalis, Heaven and Earth are yours~ Fatalis, Fatalis, Heaven and Earth are yours~" Rage sang the folksong as a long-bodied black dragon flew into the courtyard of the castle, landing and letting out a terrifying roar as intense, epic and yet haunting choir music was heard.
Many of them were creeped out by the dark visuals, which wasn't helped by the ominous music and ESPECIALLY the folksong. "Who makes a song like that?!" Jaune said fearfully.
"Yeah. I'm really not liking this." Coco agreed.
Then, they finally saw the beast and it was as if a tidal wave of dread and fear washed over them, like their primitive instincts are alerting them to an impending doom. "Even through the screen, my animal side is telling me to run away." Blake said fearfully.
"It's like staring at an army of Grimm so big, you can't see anything else in the distance." Velvet added in horror.
"That thing's not a monster, it's an abomination. Some kind of evil force of nature. I don't know why I feel like that, but I do. And the music only confirms it." Ilia said.
Even the bravest and most battle-hardened of the group (the Ozluminati, Winter, Hazel, Cinder and Adam) could tell at a glance that this monster was NOT to be taken lightly. "I've faced Salem a number of times, but never once did I feel the same sense of dread from her that I feel from this beast." Ozpin admitted.
"I doubt even she could contain her fear from that beast. And she's immortal." Hazel agreed.
The creature then launched an enormous fireball from its mouth that travelled great distances. "That then, was a folksong known throughout all the land telling, prophesizing the second coming of Fatalis: The Legend of the Black Dragon. And when he rises once more... Well it will be for realsies, because the world will be purged in flames and he will sit atop the ashes. All living things fear him. Unchallenged, unequaled, unstoppable. There is no monster greater than Fatalis." Rage spoke ominously as Aylia was seen sneaking by the dragon. "So, I'd rather not be on his bad side, by not giving him his own lore video. I've touched on him before very briefly, but there is SO much to get into here." He whispered fearfully as the mighty dragon discovered Aylia was bitten in the back as she attempted to run from the beast.
And Rage's telling of the monster's prophecy didn't put anyone's nerves at ease neither. "We may very well have to send Atlas' entire military might against such a beast." Winter said, horrified.
"Uh, yeah... An ancient civilization tried that once. It DID NOT work." Razara said.
"Is there really NO monster that can stand up to a Fatalis? Not even Dalamadur?" Qrow asked.
"Eh, people have their theories that they MAY be able to take on Fatalis and win, but it's like 4 out of 10, Fatalis would still win more times than not." Katana explained.
"Okay, that's just not fair." Roman said, deeply unnerved that a snake that is a few miles long couldn't even beat this beast.
Thankfully, however, the huntress managed to recover and climbed a set of nearby stairs and got on a ballista to fire at the beast. "And I know this has all started fairly... heavy. So first: exclusive footage of Fatalis stepping on a Lego." Rage stated as Aylia managed to fire a giant bolt with rope attached to bind the beast, sending it to the ground. Suddenly, it cut away to an image of Fatalis standing around, before a Lego descended right in front of it. An alarming noise was then heard, before the beast let out a scream of pain from stepping on the infamously painful toy.
Fortunately, the mood was lightened by the" stepping on a Lego" bit. A few of them couldn't help but wince at this themselves, however. "Ooh. Yeah. I definitely know what that feels like." Coco said. Having two younger brothers meant she was regularly scanning the floor of her home as she made her way through her house, less she feel the pain of a Lego in her foot.
"That's the one thing I do not regret about being an orphan, is that Nora did not have those evil toys." Ren said.
"I could NEVER walk into Yang's room when she was little because of those things. I would swear it was Qrow's bad luck, but it even happened when he wasn't there. More often when he wasn't there, actually." Summer groaned as Yang looked away with a blush.
Fatalis then crashed to the ground and struggled against the binders restraining it as Aylia ran in to attack. "Fatalis then, is a creature of legend, though this legend is very real. But before we learn his role in the history of the world, of which he plays one of vital importance, let's first understand the Fatalis himself. After all, we're only here for his body." Rage said, the image of a VERY obese man saying "body" along with him. "Classified as a First Class dangerous monster. A Black Dragon, of which there are only a handful. They stand at the epitome of Nature's wrath and Fatalis stands at the pinnacle of even this ungodly coalition." The host explained as Aylia climbed up a pillar to avoid the monster's attacks, before jumping off and getting a few hits in.
Then, the group was quite surprised to hear Fatalis surpassed all other Black Dragons. "You mean not even Amaryllis can stand up to Fatalis?" Glynda asked asked as Summer hugged her Alatreon, fearing what would happen if it ran into Fatalis.
(Sadly, even my power cannot match up to the beast. I could perhaps challenge him, but I would be a fool if I expected to win.) The dragon informed her bond.
"Man, they stay so quiet, sometimes I forget your monsters are still here watching with you." Tekko admitted.
"But it's still a monster. Still an animal. It has to have SOME kind of weakness. EVERYTHING has a weakness" Adam said, even thought his Faunus instincts were beating his brain telling him to run.
"What about Dire Miralis? Isn't it basically a rock version of Fatalis?" Nora asked.
"Eh. It's believed to be an 'unstoppable force meets immovable object' type thing, that neither of them can truly do enough damage to get rid of the other... even though we believe both of them could probably destroy the world." Katana explained.
The huntress then had to go back to evading explosive fireballs and huge streams of fire. "He then, is not just a Black Dragon, he is A black dragon: uniquely amongst all creatures, similar to the traditional Western dragon, what you think of when I say 'Draw me a dragon!'" He continued as a very drawing of a dragon appeared on screen. "Now, obviously, I've not practiced drawing in a while, I don't know if you can tell, but the point remains: four legs, two wings and a big, muscular frame, your standard fantasy affair, okay? I feel like I'm laboring this point a bit much." Rage admitted as Aylia climbed the pillar once again, but Fatalis destroyed it once she reached the top.
"Okay, we get it. It's a dragon. We've seen other dragons before and just being a dragon doesn't make them a living nightmare to everything." Neo said.
"I'm with the shrimp. If just being a dragon made you that dangerous, all the other Elder Dragons would be on that level." Emerald agreed.
"Oh, come on, guys. Dragons are cool. And Fatalis looking like a classic dragon is just that much cooler." Jaune defended the host and the dragon.
Aylia then leapt off as the pillar crumbled and slashed Fatalis' head as she fell, then its side as she landed. "He then, is wickedly smart, arguably greater than that of the most ingenious humans. And he does not forgive and he does not forget, harboring a grudge everlasting, burning hatred towards not just humans- but humans in particular- but more of a general 'If it's alive, I'd rather it not be'. And with more than enough power to make it so no matter what unlucky soul trespasses in his silent kingdom- Well, everything has very much learnt that when a Fatalis is near... Yeah, I'd rather not be! Every monster has an almost imperceptible sense to get the hell away from a Fatalis. Even the very most large and powerful, such as Lao Shan Lung himself, is only a threat to the Guild because a Fatalis has forced him to flee directly into the path of a human settlement." Rage spoke of Fatalis' sheer terrifying presence that forces other monsters to flee as an Ashen Lao Shan Lung was seen moving down the mountain pass, along with some music making it seem like it was dancing.
"It's smarter than humans..." Ironwood said in horror.
Even Penny was terrified by this. "To be as smart as humanity's greatest minds? How could this be if he wasn't taught to learn and understand and become this smart!?" She asked in disbelief.
"And why does it have such an overwhelming hatred for humanity?" Pyrrha asked.
"Well, remember, Pyrrha. Humanity did the dragons REALLY dirty. Rage will get into it later." Razara reminded her.
"I guess that makes sense, but only for humans. Why does it hate everything else that's alive?" Velvet questioned. To this, the three ice demons could only shrug.
And they certainly believed it when he said everything knows to get away from Fatalis on an instinctual level. "Makes sense to me. Like I said, I'm only seeing it through a screen and I STILL feel too close to it." Blake said, hiding behind the couch and under Ciara's wing, having made her Nargacuga grow to its full size just to hide behind it.
Upon seeing Lao Shan Lung, Ruby remembered it's story. "Hey, yeah! That's right! It only went to the tower to get away from Fatalis! That means HE'S the reason that Lao had to be killed so he didn't trample a village! It's all his fault!" She snapped, instantly feeling resentment and anger towards the Black Dragon.
Aylia was then seen on a raised pathway with a large button, dodging Fatalis' fireballs, apparently trying to bait the beast in closer. "It is theorized that a Fatalis... Well, is immortal. A constant force akin to those that govern the very reality we inhabit. Only death in battle sees a Fatalis leave this world, a feat precious few have claimed to have even come close to. The Fatalis is said to be a hunter's ultimate goal. When a Fatalis has made itself known, the Guild will do everything it can to hide any information as such and indeed, all information on Fatalis in general from the public, less widespread panic crumble humanity from within." Rage said ominously as the baiting was clearly unsuccessful and Fatalis forced the huntress further and further from the button.
The group was in disbelief when they heard the Guild hid all knowledge of Fatalis. "What?! Why would they do that?! Shouldn't people have all the knowledge they can get on Fatalis, so they know how to beat it? Or at least avoid it!?" Jaune asked.
"Yeah. People should know that they're in danger and what they should do!" Ilia agreed.
"Exactly. Fatalis' presence should be known to all, so proper drills and evacuation plans can be made in the event a Fatalis ever shows itself to the public again. Right, Winter?" Weiss said, trying to think militaristically like her sister.
The elder Schnee looked proud of her sister for coming up with that, but felt sadness in what she was about to say. "I'm sorry, Weiss... But I believe keeping the knowledge of Fatalis hidden is the best course of action." Winter said.
"WHAT?!" The teens cried out.
"I'm afraid I have to agree. Public knowledge of this would lead to massive amounts of panic as the terrified public riots and does whatever they think is best to protect themselves from Fatalis. Actions that are doomed to fail and would only lead to total chaos." Ironwood explained.
"Sometimes the best way to keep people safe, is to leave them in the dark." Ozpin agreed.
"Uh... Didn't that go HORRIBLY for ALL OF YOU?" Tekko questioned.
However, the creature finally came close enough to the platform, at which point Aylia hit the button and launched a pair of Dragonators into the beast's torso. "They will send, in secret, only the hunters that stand above all of their peers, for only they have a prayer of bringing down such an adversary. But any hunter who has returned from a battle with Fatalis has done so deranged, unhinged from what they have witnessed, what they have experienced and never left quite the same. If a Fatalis cannot take your life, it will at least take your mind before parting from this plane of existence." The host continued to speak of the horrors Fatalis can inflict on a person as Aylia moved from the Dragonators to the Ballista and fired the massive bolts into it again.
The crew felt deep sympathy for the hunters that made it back. "Whoa. They go through all of that just to go crazy? That's pretty rough deal." Yang said sadly.
Qrow sighed sadly at this. "That's the way it works, firecracker. Our job ain't easy and, if all the other monsters we've seen so far are something to go by, being a hunter isn't either. I know quite a few Huntsmen who have gone crazy from all the things they've seen. And none of it seemed nearly as bad as that thing. The rest of us would probably go looney, too." He said sympathetically.
"Maybe that's the reason Rage and Sai are so crazy." Cinder theorized.
"But this is what happens to their hunters that are the best of the best. Imagine if an unlucky group of young hunters simply stumbles upon one." Glynda said worriedly.
"Then we wouldn't hear about it, because those hunters wouldn't make it back." Razara said bluntly, leaving everyone very disturbed how easily she was able to dismiss such a dark scenario.
The huntress had to quickly abandon the heavy artillery, however, to avoid another giant fireball. "Those that escape even that twisted fate can forge the armor of Fatalis... Which, by the way, doesn't look all that for such... I mean, come on! Really?" Rage explained, before showing the two different versions of Fatalis' armor, both of which looked incredibly menacing.
Many of them were intimidated by the armor, but also quite impressed by it. "I don't know, that armor looks pretty fancy to me. I bet it'd fetch a nice price." Neo said, high-fiving Roman.
"I wouldn't mind wearing it into battle myself. I doubt a Grimm's claws could get through very easily." Pyrrha said, looking at the armor with clear intrigue.
Suddenly, the video was paused. All three ice demons then appeared in front of the screen. "NO! No one is wearing that armor!" They all cried out.
Everyone was shocked at this sudden outbursts from the hostesses and many were skeptical about their claim. "Why not? What could be wrong with a simple set of armor?" Adam questioned.
"You'll see soon enough." Katana said ominously.
Aylia then dove to the side as Fatalis flew in at her and snapped its jaws at her. "And when wearing it... Well, there is evidence, then, that even death's doors cannot hold this mighty dragon. For it will start to grow, the armor fusing to the wearer, growing over him, encasing him in a ghastly cocoon before the hunter mysteriously disappears and a new Fatalis is reborn, given life by the very hunter that once slew it." Rage continued to speak ominously as Aylia leapt down and started fighting the monster properly with her sword.
This truly left them horrified. "Th-the armor... fuses to your skin? I can't imagine how horrible and painful that is. Not to mention having your mind twisted to feel all that anger and hatred as you're changed into... something besides yourself? No one or thing should have to go through that." Summer said, completely petrified by the very idea.
"And that hatred would include your friends and families. The very people you want to protect more than anything would most likely wind up being your first targets." Hazel added, an overwhelming wave of dread filling him as he imagined himself attacking Gretchen in one of his frenzied rages.
"Not to mention you're giving new life to the creature you killed in the first place. That is some really messed up irony." Ilia added.
"Yeah, definitely not worth a piece of swag. Not even if it's the best armor in the world." Roman agreed.
Ruby shivered, cuddling close to her family and Cinder. "I don't think I want to know any more about Fatalis." She said.
Penny shivered as well, but put on a brave face. "It is difficult to watch, but knowledge is power, Ruby. This information could prove vital. We must keep watching." Penny said. Slowly, but surely, everyone began to calm down thanks to the gynoid's words.
After they get over their shock, Nora has this intrigued look on her face. "...So if I wore Fatalis armor, I would become one to?" She asked.
"Umm... yes?" Tekko confirmed unsurely, wondering where the Valkyrie girl was going with this.
Then, Nora's intrigued look morphed into a sinister grin and she got a crazed look in her eyes that Tyrian would approve of. "Then, I'd be one of the most powerful monsters in the world!" She declared maniacally.
"Nora..." Ren tried to reign in his girlfriend.
"I'd be unstoppable!" Nora went on.
"Nora!" Pyrrha yelled to try and get Nora to snap out of it.
"I'd be free to do whatever I want, whenever I want and no puny hunter, monster or Grimm could stop me! Everyone will run for their pitiful lives as I burn down their homes, cities and even kingdoms with my fiery wrath! Every infidel will scream in agony before my burning vengeance! All will tremble and bow before me: NORA VALKYRIE! The Queen of Dragons! And the Goddess of all Monsters! Muahahahahahaha!" The hammer-wielding girl laughed like a full-on supervillain.
Everyone, even the adults, are deeply disturbed by her. To were her own team (and anyone else sitting close to her) scoots away from her,
Cinder leaned in towards Emerald. "It's moments like this make me question why Salem hasn't recruited her yet?" The half-Maiden whispered.
"Seriously! She's just as bloodthirsty as Tyrian! And almost as crazy!" Emerald whispered in agreement.
Nora looked at Katana with puppy dog eyes. "Please, can I have the armor, Katana?" She pleaded.
"NEVER." Katana said harshly, but it was certainly understandable and justified. Nora gave a huge pout at this, but everyone else sighed in relief.
Aylia continued to dodge a number of fireballs and sweeping tail attacks as she slammed her sword into the beast. "Fatalis are intelligent, arguably more so than even humanity's greatest minds. They have learned from those that they hate: they have seen us turn their fellow monster brethren into armor and weapons and they do the same to us. In a twisted display of vengeful cruelty, they melt down their fallen foes with a fiery breath that puts all others to shame, reaching temperatures unmatched by any other even Elder Dragon, Fatalis' control of flame exceeds perhaps even that of Teostra and Lunastra. Even able to produce great clouds of blast powder that make Teostra's look tiny by comparison." Rage explained as Aylia dodged a number of these fiery attacks and blast powder clouds.
Everyone was horrified at this. "It MELTS hunters?!" Pyrrha screamed in fear.
"That is... completely evil." Yang said, holding Neo close.
"With flames that hot, I do not want to think of what it would do to my metal body." Penny said worriedly.
"Flames that hot... I'm not sure what could possibly stand up to it." Hazel said in horror.
"Only Aiden, apparently." Tekko said.
"You mean Sai's hunting friend from the Pukei-Pukei intro?" Ren questioned.
"Yep. Watch this." Tekko said, showing them a clip of Sai and Aiden desperately running for cover as Fatalis unleashed a gigantic flame.
With not time left, Aiden pushed Sai behind the cover they were running to, but was engulfed by the flames, which proceeded to destroy everything in the surrounding area, even Sai's cover. Yet somehow, Aiden miraculously survived. They simply sat in shock for several seconds, before collectively passing out. Thankfully, the hostesses quickly gathered enough buckets of ice water for all of them and dumped them on their heads, quickly snapping them back to consciousness. "How! He should be absolutely destroyed! That level of fire should be hotter than the sun!" Cinder cried out.
"That man must have luck even greater than Clover's." Ironwood said.
Suddenly, the faces of Fatalis on the right and Lunastra on the left were shown as romantic music began to play. In some form of desert area, a Teostra suddenly woke up from his slumber. "I felt a great disturbance in the Force." He said ominously as he rose to his feet.
"That monster doesn't deserve a partner like you, Luna." Cinder said, snuggling her Lunastra, disgusted at the idea of the Black Dragon making a move on her monster.
(I would never stoop down to that monstrosity's level. His power of fire is impressive, but the devastation their breed causes to our world is unforgiveable.) Luna growled.
"I mean, how would that even work? Fatalis hates all life, so... wouldn't he just try to eat any Lunastra that approached him?" Coco questioned.
"Not to mention, they made it clear every living thing wants to stay as far away from Fatalis as possible." Blake added.
"And even beyond all that, the sheer size difference would make any form of... mating... impossible." Weiss said uncomfortably.
"Yeah. It'd be like sticking a great Dane with a Zwei." Ilia said.
The corgi whimpered at this. "I really wish you didn't give us that image, Ilia." Velvet said.
Aylia then quickly manuevered to the side as Fatalis charged forward. "It then, after turning hunters dead at its feet into a liquid puddle, will slather the melted-down armor upon its hide, allowing it to harden over the already thick and impenetrable scales, thus granting him further reinforcement and even taking on the very essence of the hunters themselves... That's right, Fatalis has Attack +9828." Rage stated as Vegeta was suddenly shown screaming in rage over this announcement.
The intellectuals had to admit, Fatalis' method of strengthening its hide was pretty clever. "It's incredibly morbid, but also ingenious to melt the armor of hunters onto itself. Assuming the armors are made of other monsters with elemental resistances, that would mean Fatalis would gain these elemental resistances." Winter theorized.
"Indeed. But what does it mean to take on the essence of the hunters?" Ironwood wondered.
"Oh. Well, sometimes, we add charms and jewels to our armor, also made of monsters parts that can, for instance: up our defense, or increase our resistance to the elements, or prevent the blight effects like Dragonblight, or even increase our stealthiness or how far we can dodge attacks." Tekko said.
"Wow! So they're almost like buffs in a video game!" Ruby said excitedly.
"But then that means Fatalis is getting those buffs." Glynda pointed out worriedly.
"Fascinating, but absolutely terrifying." Ozpin added, one of the few times he really showed fear... that didn't involve a spider.
Aylia rolled to the side to avoid a tail whip from the dragon. "Its wings as hard as steel, yet flexible as silk able to power even his bulky frame skywards and fly with precision and speeds that make all save the ROCKET-POWERED ELDER DRAGON!- look like fledglings freshly fallen from the nest. His physical strength is indominable. He would be able to force his body at a charge to punch holes through a blast door, crunching rock to powder twixt his jaw that makes a T-Rex's bite look like cuddle time. He is quintessentially the ultimate monster, equipped even with one of the silliest tongues ever discovered." Rage spoke of the creatures physical prowess, before cutting away to show the beast with its tongue flailing about, accompanied by silly music. "Oh. And Fatalis weapons? If you listen to them, like a sea shell, you put it to your ear, you hear the sea? Yeah, Fatalis weapons when you listen to them... Sound like they're screaming." Rage then added as a screaming noise could be heard as Aylia slammed her sword down on the beast.
A lot of teens laughed the callback to Valstrax. "Oh, man! I forgot how funny that was!" Nora laughed.
"I know, it's such an awesome way to describe an awesome dragon!" Ruby said.
"Right? And the fact he screams it every time makes it that much better." Yang added.
Many of them had to do a double-take however at the bit with the tongue. "Well... For something that's smarter than the most genius humans, I really didn't expect it to act like... Well, THAT." Pyrrha said.
Velvet giggled a bit. "But, I have to say, it makes it at least a little less scary." She admitted.
And THEN they heard that the weapons literally scream. "And it's at least twice as creepy as it was before." Ilia said.
The creature then slithered back and breathed another spiraling torrent of flame as Aylia ran. "But make no mistake: despite the power-" Rage began as the flame washed over Aylia, accompanied by haunting music. "-Stored within the heartbeat of an almost-god, there is still- well, a heartbeat: blood, flesh, sleep, the need to eat... he is an animal at the end of the day. He lays eggs, the hatchlings grow at an accelerated rate, reaching maturity very quickly. Though all Fatalis claim vast territory, very rarely meeting and indeed, reports of Fatalis sightings can go many decades apart. It is said in tales that a Fatalis can set the entire world alight in mere days, as well as have created the very lands that we walk upon. Now, he may even be one of the Five Stars, of which the infamous Sapphire is also one, but that's a lore for another day." Rage spoke of the beast's fables as Aylia dodged more fireballs.
Everyone was a bit relieved when Rage mentioned it still functions like an animal. "I guess that means you're right, Adam. It still lives and bleeds. And that means it can be beaten. Or even killed." Blake said.
"Still, I really hope that part about it lighting the world on fire in days is an exaggeration." Adam stated.
"That may actually make Salem WANT this beast on Remnant." Hazel said worriedly.
Then, their attentions were perked up by the mention of the Five Stars. "Sapphire Star? Isn't that what people call Sai? Which is really weird, by the way, since he doesn't wear ANY kind of blue on him." Nora asked.
"Well, it's his title now, but originally it was the title for another godly dragon, one of five spoken about in that Five Star legend Rage was talking about." Katana explained.
"Oh. Why do they call Sai that, then?" Roman asked.
"Because he killed that dragon. Or, one of them, anyway." Katana explained.
"But then that means there are other legendary elder dragons that make up these stars?" Glynda asked, to which Katana simply nodded.
"Oh, lovely." Weiss grumbled.
Aylia then ran up to the beast, dodging fireballs along the way and attacking again. "For now then: Fatalis' place in history: a creature as we've seen, of unparalleled fury and anger, but where did it stem? Well, the Great Dragon War. The Ancient Civilization, mighty with technology far and advanced of our own, the inventors of the likes of the Switch Axe and Charge Blade... Well, this civilization used the monsters as mere tools: hunting them en masse, slaughtering them for parts to fuel their industrial efforts and indeed, setting to work taming, breeding and altogether mastering nature around them. Now, the Elder Dragons were not a fan of this, not one bit. Especially when they kind of... killed, like, hundreds of them just to build one pretty little tower out of their bodies..." Rage explained uncomfortably, before showing the image of a giant tower that reached above the clouds.
Everyone winced as they remembered the tower and how the Ancient Civilization abused their power. "Oh, yeah. I can kind of see why Fatalis is so pissed now. Makes sense." Coco said.
"I'd even call it justified. What could they possibly need that required such levels of murder of innocent creatures?" Adam agreed.
"And if such slaughter is truly a daily thing, then it is completely unsustainable, as there's no way the monsters would be able to repopulate fast enough to keep up the demands." Penny added.
(That tower is an abomination. It nearly wiped out my kin just so they could prove they could make such towering structure.) Ozymandias added.
"The Ancient Civilization indeed made mistakes. But fortunately, the modern civilization learned from those mistakes, by the sound of things. And also by the sound of things, it seems as though the Ancient Civilization is about to pay for those mistakes in this story." Ozpin said.
Aylia climbed a large pillar to get to a higher vantage point above Fatalis. "They saw this and, well..." Rage began as the huntress leapt off the pillar and attacked Fatalis' head.
Suddenly, a group of pirates, led by a couple of fancily dressed men in turbans was shown. "We shall go to war." The man in front spoke with a very high-pitched voice, the men around him cheering in agreement as another pirate was shown with Fatalis' head superimposed over his own.
"Goofy voice aside, good for you guys. Show those snobs not to mess with nature!" Summer cheered.
"You can't seriously be condoning this monster wiping out a civilization." Winter said, looking at the Rose matriarch.
"Hey, if they're bad enough to make Atlas snobs seem like reasonable people, I say they had it coming." Qrow agreed with his partner.
Aylia successfully struck Fatalis in the head, but was knocked back when the monster continued its forward charge. "And thus, the most brutal and bloody conflict ever recorded began. It's never sure what quite happened, but it involved the Equal Dragon Weapon, which I've talked about before..." Rage said as the mechanical monstrosity was shown. "But at the end, both the Elder Dragons were almost extinct and the civilization crumbled to ruin. But one important factor, one defining bullet point, was the intervention of Fatalis. Seeing the cruelty and the hideous atrocities, the slaughter of his kin, he descended upon the kingdom of Schrade." Rage declared ominously as a map of this kingdom was shown. "The Schrade kingdom spanned a great distance. It was mighty, a bastion of human conquerors, but Fatalis... Well, on that day..." Rage continued to speak ominously.
"So in the end, nobody won." Cinder said.
"No one ever truly wins in war. Even victory always results in great sacrifice. That's why I'm always preparing for war. I don't want war, but I know I have to be ready for it in order to minimalize the casualties. Yet, clearly, I got even that wrong." Ironwood said.
"Makes me wonder what we'd do if we had to deal with that thing." Emerald said, before realizing what she said. "Oh, gods, we won't have to deal with that thing, will we?!" She asked, terrified.
"No, absolutely not. I'd never send one of them to Remnant." Katana assured them, to which they all let out a massive sigh of relief.
Suddenly, a bunch of people in a village looked up at a massive wall in shock as they saw a pillar of smoke rising past it. "On that day, mankind remembered..." A young boy spoke as a massive shadow rose above the shadow of the wall, before a massive creature with Fatalis' head superimposed over it rose up.
Aylia then ran up on a ledge and leapt off, striking Fatalis as she leapt towards him. "Every man, woman and child hunted down to the last, screams fading out into the night, the burnt bodies of all lining the very streets, every building razed to the ground, the army tossed aside like Autumn leaves on the breeze... he would not stop until there nothing left. The sky darkening akin to his heart, he was left twisted in hatred, no more life to ever permeate for miles around. Schrade was reduced to but a whisper of history, forever etched into annals of time of what should happen should humanity ever crossed Fatalis again." Rage gave a haunting warning as Aylia avoided Fatalis' sweeping fire breath and got some hits on the beast's head.
Neo did a spit take at this, inadvertently drenching Yang in the soda she was just drinking. "Holy crap! I know we were all saying they deserved it, but even the women and children?! That's a bit too far, don't you think?!" She asked, horrified.
"And every single one of them... This massive dragon was so thorough to ensure nobody left alive... That's a whole new level of overkill." Ren said, aghast.
"I know you just said you'll never put a Fatalis on Remnant, but still, we'd better make sure to NEVER repeat the mistakes of the Ancient Civilization in case some other monster manages to do what Fatalis did." Jaune said.
"But if doing all this is what left Fatalis so hateful and twisted, what was he like before all of this?" Ruby couldn't help but wonder.
"Well, I'm afraid we'll never know." Katana said.
"Um... So, can we do something about this?" Yang asked, gesturing to herself and the fact her clothes were soaked.
"Oh, right." Katana said, looking to her daughters, who nodded and snapped their fingers to create a door to their room. "You can go in there and borrow clothes from our dresser." Tekko said.
"But STAY OUT of the closet!" Razara warned.
"Fine. Jeez." Yang said. She quickly entered the room and gathered some clothes from a black dresser she assumed belonged to Razara, before noticing the closet. "Hm... I wonder what she doesn't want me to see in there? Maybe I could get some good blackmail material for when those two come to Beacon." She said, making her way to the closet. However, no sooner than she opened it did she open the quite sizeable closet did she see the suits of black, scaly armor with eyes on them that looked like jewels. They weren't the same as the ones from the video, but she could still tell... It was Fatalis armor. "WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!?" She screamed.
Out in the viewing room, everyone heard Yang screamed and rushed in, except for Katana's daughters, who shared a worried look. "You think she saw them?" Tekko asked.
"She totally saw them." Razara said, the two of them following the group, knowing they'd hear their mother shout for them soon enough.
Everyone reached the room quickly and hurried to the blonde brawler. "Yang, what's wrong?" Summer asked.
Yang said nothing and simply pointed to the two suits of armor, everyone instantly as shocked as Yang was. "You two have sets of Fatalis armor?" Ozpin asked in disbelief.
The girls gulped fearfully at this and simply looked away, the lack of an answer saying all they needed to know. "How could you two be so irresponsible!? Surely you know how dangerous that armor must be!" Glynda snapped.
"W-we're demons! We can resist the affects!" Tekko said fearfully.
"Did you know that beforehand? Wearing those suits put you and everyone around you in danger. And if you had brought those to Beacon, you would have brought the dangers of a Fatalis to Remnant!" Ironwood added.
The girls only backed away at this, before bumping into something. Turning around, that something was revealed to be their mother, in her full demon form. "As soon as this video is finished, we're going to destroy those armor sets. And then I promise you girls, you will not be sitting comfortably until these guys are all back on Remnant." She told her daughters, who gulped and held each other in fear.
After a few moments, Nora slid up beside Katana. "Sooo... Does that mean I can have the armor, since Tekko and Razara aren't allowed to have them anymore?" She asked hopefully. However, Katana only gave her a deadpan stare, as if to tell her "What do you think?". The hammer-wielder simply went back to sulking at this.
After a moment, Katana returned to her human form and sighed. "Let's go, there's still more to Fatalis than what you've just seen." She told them.
A/N: Whew! This is a lot of work! Don't worry, guys! This isn't it! It's just a long video, so I had to split the chapter into 2, or it'd be WAY too long.
