Chapter 16 Blue: Misleading
Elsewhere after taking a nearby shuttle into the city viola saw that the entire city was brimming with smiling faces right now. As she saw some nearby soldiers helping unload suppiles at a nearby hospital with the so called cure as people where stepping out with disgusted look on their face as they had to eat some leaf for a cure.
"Man i can't believe the cure is just a leaf. This is just so weird"chris commented
"You said it i mean its all so weird to see people munching on leafs like a animal"vicktor said passing by som goat faunus gagging from one of those so called curing leafs as umber snickered
"Hey its funny seeing people react to the taste i'm happy my leader mom is doing better. I hope that everyone is doing better from the academy we…lost alot of friends still"umber said rubbing her arm as they noticed this with reva sighing placing a hand on her back rubbing it
"Hey i miss all our friends alot. But their up above smiling i'm sure that were still living for them"Reva said dissuading umber worries now as she sighed
"Thanks i wonder if mazon and the others will be their"umber said as they turned a corner walking toward a coffee shop. As already waiting for them was mazon and nedra right now as they had some coffees already for them
"Hey you all made it ready for our little fun research outting"mazon said with a wink but it looked like he blinked
"Are you winking or blinking right now?"vicktor asked as mazon sighed with nedra laughing
"Hes not the best at it. Though are we actually considering this i mean where going into some creepy stuff in my opinion"nedra commented as they thought about it with viola sighing at the thought
"Its better than nothing besides we need to get some answers. Doing this could help us find my siblings that got taken….though it kinda sounds selfish now that i say it aloud"viola said but reaching a hand over placing a hand on her back was rio who smiled at her
"Their our friends and some of us grew up with them over the years. Besides one of them owes me ten lien"Rio said as they stared at her
"Ehhhh i rather save our baby siblings that where taken and punch the guy who took em"reva added as they where in agreement grabbing their coffee to enjoy on their way to their destination
"So library is a bust with the info their we found not being the best. Whats our next stop?"vicktor asked as they thought for a moment with an idea crossing nedra mind as she smirked for a moment
"Maybe you could just ask a direct source. "Nedra said confusing them hearing that for a moment
"Direct source what are you talking about?"mazon questioned with a suspicious look as she smiled
"I mean your family library their gotta be something on them or better yet some atlas records. I'm guessing bunny ears has access to it"nedra said as their was a moment pause with viola who thought about as she did have some minor access. Mainly because she spent a whole year in atlas at one point she wasn't particular fond of the cold weather but spent her time doing research on old atlas projects and her grandfather gave her access to a few of his files
"Well i have some minor access but…mhmmmm maybe RJ could help us out with it he should be at his dorm"viola said as they liked the sound of that
"Then it settled we head to the school to find the cat"reva said as they walked ahead to their destination with nedra smiling the whole time on leading them down this little misdirection
It took them some time to make their way to their location as they where soon ending up at the school. With the construction crew busy fixing it as the remaining few students still remained here with some of them eyeing a few down as chris scoffed
"Seriosuly all this glaring has gotten be bad for their eyes. Everytime we walk past them they stare us down like we killed someone"Chris said as reva sighed
"Well apparently their pissed off at our parents and their friends. Heck even the hybrids'reva said making umber antsy right now as she hugged herself for a bit looking away from some glares directed toward her
"Yeah…just great i decide to become a hybrid since i wanted to and this happens"umber said upset but mazon sighed placing a hand on his partner back patting it
"Hey where in this together partner besides my parents and yours are like best friends. If they try anything their gonna get to see my wrath"he said with a smile as she chuckled at that for a bit smiling
"Thanks….though i wonder what RJ can dig up on those files you metoned nedra"umber said as that made vicktor eye her for a moment wondering why she would bring that up suddenly
"Hey why did you bring up those files by the way?"vicktor asked startling her as she came up with a lie
"Oh well i just thought since shes the smartest person out of all her siblings. She gotta have some access to atlas since i heard her aunt is a big wig in atlas. Its kinda common knowledge at this point"nedra replied as she hoped he bought it as viola sighed
"Your not wrong but lets pull the files up when we find RJ"viola said as they walked into the school walking through the halls for a bit before arriving at an open door as inside sitting on a hammock was RJ who looked up surprised to see them
"Sup guys you need something"RJ asked as vicktor closed the door with rio sighing
"Hey you think you could help us try and maybe get a location on your cousins"rio said confusing him not understanding
"Ummm just call them with the CCT tower though it is bugging out right now for some reason. "RJ replied but they corrected him on who their looking for
"We mean our sibling that freak watts took. We wanna try and see if we can pull any old atlas files up to trace any old hideout the cult has here in vacou. Maybe tell our parents about it so we can raid the place for intel on their hideout in atlas"reva explained as they expected him to say no but a grin came to his face
"Hacking into atlas files….ohhh i'm in because i wanna make sure my family is back home safe"RJ said hoping up from his hammock making them smile as he got onto his laptop on a desk. As he logged in viola pulled a chair up beside him at that moment
"Okay let me log into grandpa will credentials"viola said before turning the computer away from beginning to type them in
"Let me guess making sure we don't know the atlas codes for their nukes"chris joked
"Yeah he doesn't have access to that but he trusted me with this. Besides your in and now RJ the only one who knows. Let hope grandpa doesn't figure out we access his stuff"viola said as RJ began to type around for a bit
"So what are we looking for right now?"RJ asked
"Well try anything that might link to the cult or maybe even their locations here"mazon suggested as he typed that into the search bar before something came up. As he stared at them before turning his computer to show them something that being a few names on their confusing them for a bit
"Ummm these are just some names"umber asked as he showed her
"Look at this guy here. Some guy named baker he was a spartan soldier but during the fall of atlas he executed a soldier who went by the name merle dixion but his real name was merle graves"he said surprising them right now
"Wait…hey thats the brother uncle ryker talked about sometimes he…he always seemed to sad when he see our brother merle sometime"reva mentioned as vicktor sighed
"Hey guessing your parents named him in honor of the guy"Vicktor said as rio read the rest
"Well says here hes locked up tight in an atlas prison still being sentence for life in prison heck hes not even getting the death penalty. But says here that some officials in atlas and other kingdoms where deep cover spies for the cult. You think someone here might be connected to the cult and is a spy"rio replied as viola cupped her chin on that being possible
"It could be with jane and holmes being spies along with morgan. Anything else"viola asked as he skimmed through some files on the cult eyeing a few files with a intriguing look
"Seems they had an old base here in vacou but its in complete ruins now after a counter attack against them. During the attack they managed to rescue and retreive diego taupe who was…resurrected from the dead after being killed by…my….mom"RJ said that slowly near the end as some stared at rio who tail flopped to the ground
As she just heard her friend killed her grandpa as she grabbed him by the shoulder shaking him
"Why the heck did your mom kill my grandpa?!"rio shouted shaking him as he was unable to answer before vicktor tore her off as RJ groaned with umber reading the rest
"Huh says here he was under the control of some parasite begging for someone to kill him. Though after he came back he went through alot of therapy but…huh that dracona chick from the simulations was their and she…she died…jeez are all of these grimm knights dead?"umber asked as nedra scoffed
"You do know that women used to be a slaver right?"nedra said painting her in a bad light to their shock right now
"She was a slavery? Jeez guessing she got the wrong end of the stick in the end…though ace operative member vine zeki dies saving his comrade in arms. This is just some history is their anything else"mazon asked as RJ looked around before deciding to log out shaking his head
"No clue gotta log out before i'm flagged for digging into the account. Though….i wonder what we can do now"RJ replied as they thought about it but an idea came to nedra mind
"Hey i got an idea maybe we can check out the old ruins of that base. Maybe their a lead that will lead us to another location."nedra suggested as they thought about it
"I don't know seems kinda dangerous in my opinion"rio replied with a worried look
"Hey its a little dangerous besides we can explore some old ruins it'll be fun. I bet we can find a small group of them"nedra said as that made vicktor extra suspicious of her now
"And how would you exactly guess that?"he questioned as someone spoke up
"Well my parents mentioned how some cult activities being going around lately. Dad said this morning he spotted a few small groups of them…maybe their at that old hideout or a small group of them doing recon"RJ supported as they paused for a moment with reva smiling
"Then you guys go do that tomorrow"Reva said to them confusing them
"What do you mean by that?"chris asked
"Ummm someone gotta keep the guards that follow us around distracted besides i already know ones down the hall anyway"Reva said as they peeked their heads out seeing a acolyte trying to stay hidden but failed as some student stared at them as they closed the door going back into the room
"You got a point their same time tomorrow we meet up to discuss our plan"rio said as they all nodded leaving for the day as nedra walked away to return to her dorm but smiled to herself as she may need to meet with someone later to go over her plan
Meanwhile back at the training hall with the archangel right now the teens thought they'd be thrown around all over the place like training dummies by these guys. But it was actually better than before as instead of being tossed around like rag dolls they where actually being considerate toward them
As right now brody and raxton where mediating with basim right now as raxton frowned finding this to be very annoying
"This is so lame when can you teach us something interesting"raxton said with brody sighing
"My brother got a point i mean if i recall the stories your just some monk. How can you be interesting"brody said with basim looking at them placing his hand on his lap
"Fighting isn't always necessary in ever conflict. I vowed to only slay grimm for my vow. But i studied the ways of the mistralian monks to learn inner peace and to control my brash actions."basim said as the two teens eyed him
"You don't seem like the type to get in trouble"brody questioned as the man chuckled at that eyeing the two for a bit
"Ah but i was child. Do you think i simple just accepted this i wanted to do good in the world yes. But i was a troublesome child my parents believed their teaching could benefit me in the end. Along with teaching me to calm myself when fighting as a clouded mind may be the end of you in a fight"basim explained wisley was raxton rolled his eyes
"Okay and anything else you wanna say"raxton said as their was silence for a moment before basim did something. Immediately without looking he caught something that being a kunai from someone that being kurai who was busy teaching shi and nioma right now to the two girls shock
"Whoa"nioma said as the two boys where surprised as basim gently placed the kunai down returning to his mediation
"A clear mind can be helpful in the end. The new curse of this form can cloud your mind making you animalstic…it is better to pratice controlling yourself in any environment"basim said as the two shared looks trying this mediation thing out right now
But with kurai she was walking around pacing back and forth eyeing the two girls under her mentorship eyeing them as she held nothing in her hands eyeing their surrounding as she sighed
"After the brief discussion you must understand why you should keep this gift of yours secret from others"kurai said as nioma rubbed her neck
"Becuase ummm someone could….attack us"nioma asked hesitantly thinking she was wrong but the women nodded
"Over the years i have gone by many names that be as an assassin…a silent warrior….or by my little title the shadow"kurai said making shi giggle a little as she eyed her making her flinch
"Sorry i umm its just well…"shi stammered but kurai chuckled at that smiling under her mask
"Its a funny little title i got. But it means something everytime i would hunt down my enemies i made sure no one knew of my true identity in the family. Making sure i was hidden as they knew i was a gravekeeper but not as an archangel. Besides….'kurai said before stepping into the shadows suddenly disappearing making the two look around
"Where did she go?"nioma asked
"I don't know its…she should be their"shi said before someone tapped her on the shoulder making her yelp as the two turned to see the ninja standing their
"Being light on ones feet can have its benefits in the end"she said with them continuing to hear her little lesson right now
While their was nila and autumn right now with confused looks staring at the two twin archangels. As they were silent most of the time but as they sat their in silence yin broke it
"So you two are sister and both your moms are technically aunts….weird"yin said making the two frown
"Like you didn't have weird parents"nila growled as yan sighed
"Our mother was quite strange since she and our well…five mothers would drag our father around like their plaything"yan said with a small blush as autumn frowned
"The whole family is full of pervs can you teach us something or what?"autumn asked as yin smiled as she rolled her sleeve up on her right arm revealing something a partial symbol of ying and yang as hers was yang with them eyeing it
"Do you know what this is?"yin asked as the two examined it for a bit seeing the scarring on her arm
"It looks like a scar…kinda like someone burned that onto your arm"nila said
"Yeah but that looks like yang the symbol yang that means warmth and positivity"autumn added as yan scoffed for a moment before rolling his own sleeve up on his left arm to reveal the symbol of ying matching with the same one his twin sister had
"We may have fought with each other over the years but we did this to ourselves. To show that we are not one without the other."yan said as yin smiled
"That as siblings you can fight as one. Be their to watch your backs in any fight something you should be very serious about. As archangels you all need to watch out for each other always"yin said as the two foxes shared some looks listening to the two teach them
After that it was martin laughing dodging a hit from gus panting as he was trying to fist fight them. With the man teaching him how to fight properly in a fight while their was derya coming in for a charge trying hit him. Though martin saw this before side stepping her as she crashed into her brother as the two groaned a little
"You where close but work as a team to take me on kiddios. Besides this old sod got a few tricks up his sleeves"martin said gesturing for them to come at him head on but the siblings shared a look for a moment nodding as the two attacked him head on together
Close by was mable right now who set some temporary target up as she aimed her revolvers firing off a few quick shoots hitting the target dead on. By her side was ymir who held a revolver in hands struggling slightly as mable were smoking right now
"Now you try kid"mable said as ymir took aim with the revolver struggling to hold it up right now as she tried she grunted dropping it to the ground as it clacked to the ground as she sighed
"I can't do this"ymir said but the women placed a hand on her shoulder making her flinch but the gunslinger eyed the targets
"You may not be much of a fighter. But with some pratice you'll do pretty well even with the extra limps you got….besides….revolver may not suit yah find something that does"mable said as she thought about that
Close by right now was matt and ellen who was looking at brutus right now who sat their with his weapon on his lap. As they stared at him he looked at them with matt speaking up
"So you gonna teach us how to turn into our archangel forms"matt bluntly asked but the man shook his head for a moment
"No not yet. But i'd like to tell you a story of something that may be of use"brutus said with ellen sighing
"If its about being calm and collected we heard it from the basim guy"ellen replied as he had something else in mind smiling
"So you don't wanna hear how me and my old friend joan arc managed to kill a cyclops with nothing but a simple tree?"brutus asked peeking the two interest
"You mean vomit boy junior family"matt asked as the man chuckled at that
"Oh don't tread lightly on that arc family they may seem to be some normal people. But their ancestors have a warrior spirit and the kindness of a gentle soul. Which can help you in the end in a fight"brutus said as the two listened to his story while trey was staring at anubis who was busy staring at him as the boy was trying to pick a lock for some reason but as he did he growled throwing the lockpick on the ground annoyed
"Okay seriously i've been stuck here for a full three hours doing this crap with you. When am i gonna do something else i know how to pick locks"trey said but anubis hummed walking forward picking the tool up staring at him
"Yes but i know that you are of vincent blood to think that will ancestor would be one with our family"anubis said making trey look away on the mention of his mother family blood
"What you gonna call me a disappointment like that osiris guy did"trey questioned but anubis laughed as he offered the tool to him
"No. but i can show you the skills will taught me long ago it can prove beneficial to you later on in life. Praticing this skill can open many doors for you…even things you seek to gain or protect"anubis said as trey sighed getting back to work on trying to unlock the door
While their was nyx who was sitting on the ground right now with that aveline women humming as she examined her swords with phobos sitting on a nearby crate they brought over. As she sat their for a moment she sighed heavily as they've rarely even talked the whole time
"So are we evening going to talk i mean….all you've done is keep me here asking the same questions over and over again"nyx said as phobos sighed
"Were asking you on who you've spoke too from the archangels"phobos said as that confused her as she groaned rubbing her head
"I told you i don't remember that at all. I mean seriously all i know is i saw a ghost and next thing i know i'm standing over people who are down on the ground. This is so confusing…because apparently my great grandma over their possessed me…shes too busy cuddling my baby siblings"nyx said pointing over at desdemona
As right now she was holding zia in her arms as she kept giggling with yenna and loba sitting their meeting their great grandmother who who smiling greeting her youngest daughter newest grandchildren right now with slade by her side. Running over was dawn who layed down next to them panting as aveline smiled
"Come now dear let her say hi to her great grandchildren. Besides your grandmother by blood would be happy to see you again"avelina said with the wolf sighing as she recalled vivid memories of her as she reached around grabbing nightshade on her back
"Yeah this is her weapon so what?"nyx asked as her father eyed her close by
"I thought i left something behind i think that belongs to me"zane said as she eyed him for a moment
"Then you gotta give me the one you made for me then dad"nyx said holding her grandmother weapon hostage as he frowned at her with aveline laughing
"Ah this is so cute. Barbossa god rest that women soul if she was here i'd be messing with on her great great grandaughter dating one of my family"aveline said making the wolf go wide eyed staring at her as she mentioned that
"I'm…i'm dating…one of your friends…family?"nyx asked as the pirate themed womened smiled
"Why that violette girl her ancestor and me where good friends. We sailed on ships and commanded a crew together. We fought sea monster and all manner of sea devils. But…i never told her my secret of lucifer semblance. Do you know why you loose consciousness at times"aveline asked confusing her
"No…i just….everytime i do i…i'm told i acted like someone else"nyx replied as phobos stared at her
"We are just like you me and her we both have the same color as lucifer semblance"phobos said surprising her right now hearing that
"Wait…so…you…you know what this weird possession crap is"nyx asked as aveline chuckled
"That possession is helping you in the future. It'll be a tool for you to use when you seek assistance or need help from someone. A guide that can help you take on any challenge as the archangels watch over you just like we do with everyone in the family. Besides….if you try hard enough you can even talk to us just like ozma did with his host"aveline said intriguing her before a timer went off
"Times up everyone go back in the book we gotta prepare these kids for dinner tonight"yama said as the archangels all grouped up with brody groaning
"We spent the entire time talking this blows"brody said as mable scoffed
"Well we wanted to be nice for the first day but if you want we can throw you around like the others did"mable warned scaring him as he shook his head. But as the teens where getting ready to leave someone placed a hand on nyx head looking up it was desdemona who smiled at her for a moment
"You look exactly like my daughter…without the faunus traits. Be a good girl and watch over your siblings in any time of need."desdemona said confusing her for a bit
"Okay umm great…grandma"nyx slowly said as desdemona smirked walking over as yama recited the passage from before as the archangels turned into nothing but golden dust. As they did they decided to call their training for today over for now.
Meanwhile later on upstairs in another part of the place right now were some of the others. As laying on the couch with a tired look was carmine as she was given some tea with dusk sitting on her lap as his tail swayed around for a bit
"This is nice…i'm so happy everything is going according to plan for once"Carmine said in relief as she made a few more of those leafs to help out but they convinced her to take a break for today
"Hey you needed a break dear besides we get to hold our babies again isn't that right"riley said tickling shizu cheek as she sucked on her pacifier right now with neve sighing right now
"Ohhh i just love how where all here now except for some of the others"neve said with worry but yoruichi placed a hand on her head rubbing it for a moment
"It'll be fine we have communications now and we can check on the others from atlas, mistral, menagerie and anywhere else. "Yoruichi said with juno humming
"I wonder whats been going on in menagerie lately"juno questioned
"No clue hope everything okay their though….i still find it weird seeing that one here in our house"jessie said pointing over at nick who blushed for a moment as may rolled her eyes close by
"The kid has a better life here right now. Though….seems someone got a little show last night for front row seats of their dad getting his just deserts"may said as dylan laughed
"Yeah i mean it was funny at first though…..ohhh if dad got arrested again that be bad"dylan said
"Is that really common with him?"nick questioned as miller was close by laughing for a moment sighing as he took a swig of a small glass of whiskey to celebrate today still
"Hey that guys got a temper problem. Should have seen what he did to those mercs that took the wilkins hostage. Blew off one of their…well bananas after he tried touching his now women"miller said with elm smacking him upside the head for that sighing heavily for a bit
"Come on cho don't be like that the kid can be brutal. Blame tort for that stuff"elm stated with nick rubbing his neck for a moment sighing
"I'm guessing its gonna be a while before i'm accepted into this family right? Because that worker gotta come by soon to check the place out"nick said but their was some silence as misam sighed rubbing her hands for a moment
"Well dad might accept you pretty quick…like he did with me and…a couple other"misam said with a scared look as her mother stared at her with ameila placing a hand on her lap
"Sweetie you don't need to talk about it"Ameilia said confusing nick as he heard that some of them are adopted. He could tell since they looked very different from some of the women here but he was curious about some of them. Some came from terrible home life like him but after hearing dylans he wondered about her
"Umm if you don't mind me asking…why are you here"nick questioned slowly as their was some silence for a bit with riley taking shizu away toward the others right now as misam paused for a moment guessing he earned this
"I well…umm…i…lost my parents pretty young some slavers attacked us and…killed my dad…my mom was with me before we got sold to these two people"misam said hugging herself with ameilia hugging her instantly in her arms as nick looked down
"I'm sorry to hear that you can stop if you want"nick replied but she continued
"Its fine its just….after we were sold…we got sold to this couple. This couple they where…putting on some facade for everyone saying how their great people. But they where the slavers that ran the operations the one that took me boss. And…well at one point they took my mom away from me and…i never saw her again…until i….saw her…body…outside one day"misam said shivering a little with the tall women hugging her as carmine sighed
"No need to continue sweetie"carmine said but someone spoke up
"Oh she won't need to i can finish for her"emma said surprising them as the women sat down rubbing her face for a moment eyeing the new son in her family who stayed silent
"Those two psychos that took her were real piece of work. They had a little facade going around but in reality they where working with the cult going around. At the time i was in the military for the despardos in a joint op with my husband and some of the others we knew. We raided their dam stronghold and well…"Emma paused clenching her fist for a brief moment scoffing in complete dis gust
"Those two pricks liked to get handsy with kids."emma said as nick went wide eyed hearing those words eyeing misam who looked away as he was stunned for a moment scoffing
"Seems their are some terrible people in the world"nick said eyeing dusk before reaching over picking the cat up who hissed trying to scratch him but he growled
"Shut up you dumb cat! Go comfort her"nick said plopping him onto misam lap as he stared at him as the cat like grimm nuzzled against misam who held him as carmine laughed
"Well someone proved who boss to a cat it seems"carmine said
"Ehhh dusk is a little annoyance besides guess who back from their little training exercise"zane said stepping into the room with the others as they all eyed them for a bit as declan walked over
"How'd it go this time kiddios?"Declan asked as the sibling shared some looks
"Better than last time we didn't get thrown around or hear anything racist one bit"ellen replied with a cherry tone
"If you count sitting down and mediating a bunch"raxton said annoyed as vanessa pinched his cheek
"Awww it can help you relax besides i was thinking dear maybe we can you know"Vanessa said as he frowned at her right now
"No…right now i'm busy besides tomorrow me and my cousin vance have to discuss on our next step. Got word of you all being attacked by some assassin…trish mind helping us with that tomorrow"zane said as trish was reading a book setting it down close by
"Sure it'll give me something to do rather than reading"Trish said as they decided to call it a night getting some much needed rest for the next morning
Though as they all drifted to sleep right now awake in a basement talking to someone over her scroll was nedra with someone else in the room with her. That being a few unseen eye member who snuck their way into the capital as conri was on the hologram as she was telling him her plan
"I lead some of them to the old ruins of our scared site. Then you spring up and capture some of them. Then we send that freak a message that if he doesn't come to the meet up point at one point then we gut his kids and their friends"nedra said
Hearing her plan for a moment conri smiled for a moment as he scoffed with a grin on his face
"Sounds excellent girl but make sure they don't have their acolytes following them. If they do then they'll help them escape"conri said
"Don't worry one of them already got that covered for me. Besides…i'm getting sick of playing pretend with them…how are things in atlas i haven't heard from holmes or morgan in a while"nedra asked as she was friends with the two as conri snarled for a moment
"Scar told me some bad news on them"conri said making her eye him on that
"How bad?"nedra questioned as he growled right now
"It seems that we had a traditor just like tannin. That jane girl that was hired betrayed us helping them take the comms network back. Seems that we may need to be wearier of our associates"conri warned as she eyed him for a moment nodding
"I understand….besides….i wanted to tell you something else"nedra said peeking his interest
"And what is that?"Conri asked as she smiled pulling her scroll out before projecting a picture she took. That being a picture of none other than wanda right now as he stared at it with wind eyes seeing a similar face on her
"It can't be…she looks like…"he was stopped by her
"Our goddess salem. Maybe his prophecy is true of her return after i am done with my mission should i head off to atlas to show them"nedra asked as conri paused for a moment smiling at her right now
"Yes…because this will be good news for the others"conri said with a smile on his face as he planned to finally strike with his plan for the people of this kingdom.
Seems wanda has caught the eyes of the unseen eye cult right now with them planning to capture some of them for ransom and revenge. But what will happen in the next chapter? Thanks for reading!
