Chapter 4: Painting the Town...
((Note: I will be adding some characters from other universes. Not a lot. Just a couple, like Carmelita. Let's do this!))
Blake POV
I saw the three claw scratches on the wall. I took a peek around the wall & see two faunus going in by the gentleman faunus. I turn my attention to Sun, who called Khiry again to see his whereabouts.
Blake: How far are you, now?
Me: Near the building. I found a window near a ledge.
Sun: You sure?
Me: Sun. If Roman's there, I'll blow our cover. It will be best if you two are going to be my ears, no offense.
Blake: None taken.
Me: Alright. Good luck in there.
Sun put the call in mute, so we couldn't hear Khiry's voice. I look at Sun.
Blake: This is it.
Sun: You sure?
I just plainly looked at Sun, & he quickly understand & respond.
Sun: Y'know, I'm just gonna take your word for it.
Sun hide his scroll in his & button his shirt up, while I take off my bow. We got our mask & walk in to another hallway. Sun stop me & asked a question.
Sun: I don't get it. If you believe what you're doing is right, why hide who you are?
Blake: The masks are a symbol. Humanity wanted to make monsters out of us, so we chose to don the faces of monsters.
Sun: Grimm masks. That's kinda dark.
Blake: So was the guy who started it. Khiry told me that every time he don his mask, he felt what was it like on the other side: the human side. He said he enjoyed it. But he told me that he wants the world to know, when the time is right.
Sun: What does he mean by that?
Blake: No idea.
Sun: Always sunshine & rainbows with you.
We don the masks & proceed to enter with the other faunus & the White Fang. A couple of members is standing on the stage near the windows. The man on the stage is telling us to quiet down.
WFM: Thank you all for coming. For those of you who are joining us for the first time tonight, allow me to introduce a very special comrade of ours. I can assure you, he is the key to obtainingwhat we have fought for, for so long.
The man walk out & it was Roman. The White Fang are cheering at him.
Roman: Thank you, thank you! Please, hold your applause.
We then see a girl that is about Weiss height. Who is she? Is this the girl Khiry ran into the Emerald Forest? My thoughts was interrupted by a girl Faunus.
Girl Faunus: What's a human doing here?
Roman: I'm glad you asked, dearie. Now I'll be the first to admit, humans are the WORST. Case in point. So I understand why you would love to see us all locked away, or better yet: killed!
Sun lean in close to me & whispered.
Sun: So, is he going somewhere with this or...
Roman: ...would like to mention the fact that you & I ALL have a common enemy. Or rather......two. First are the ones in control, the people pulling the strings, the dirty rotten humans that run our kingdoms. Government. Military. Even the schools, they're all to blame for your lot in life. The second is invisible shield....known as Silent Predator.
The white fang are nodding in agreement along with the Faunus. I can somehow sense Khiry's betrayal started to become a burden to him.
Roman: Worry not, I have found out who is our competitor is, & no, my fellow members, it is not a human, but an African American wolf faunus, filling your head with lies, telling you to go down the right path & stop this killing. He won't stop & neither will we.
The white Fang members are cheering while we look at each other & worried about Khiry. We turn back to Roman.
Roman: They're all pests that need to be dealt with. Fortunately, I'm the best exterminator around. No offense to any rodents in the room. First, our weapon to get rid of our predator.
((Note: Killer Instincts character.))
When he snaps his fingers, a giant ball of ice falls to the ground & shattered. However, a puddle of water is begin to form into some type of ice body. We are in a state of shock & confused.
Roman: I give you my creation, Glacius! Glacius' "body" consists entirely of ice, water, & one human spine & skull. He is capable of morphing into radically different shapes by using an ability akin to cryokinesis. This includes liquidizing himself into a puddle to move quickly across any surface or become virtually impervious to harm, and morphing his tactile organs into powerful make-shift weaponry. He has also been observed to form massive spiked balls of hail from the surrounding moisture in the air. After their invisible shield is gone, we will use this...
When he snap his fingers, a curtain fell down & reveal a giant robot. The White Fang members are cheering.
Sun: Uh, that's a big robot.
Blake: How did he get that?
Roman: As some of you may have heard, this right here....is Atlas' new line of defense against all the scary things in the world. & thanks to my employer, we've managed to snag a few before they, uh, but the shelves. Now, many of your brothers have already moved down to our new operation in the south east. If you'd rather stay within the city, that's fine. But if you've truly ready to fight for what you believe in, this is the arsenal I can provide you. Any questions?
Everyone is started cheering for this. I think we got enough information Khiry wants. Sun quietly grab his scroll & we see a text message from Khiry.
Me(text): A lot of info from a meeting. Got the whole recorded.
Blake: Great. We should get out of here.
Roman: Will all new recruits please come forward.
The new members are going forward while I'm trying to figure out how to leave without being.
My POV
I wait for them to come out. I am a little far from the building & wait for the others to see what they got. My ears pick up a sound of broken glass, then metal stomping. Next I saw Blake & Sun running & a giant robot chasing them & coming towards me. I join them in running away from it as well.
Sun: Khiry, quick question! Don't you get caught before?
Me: More or less! Blake! We need more backup.
Blake: On it.
Blake called in her team to help us.
Blake: Everyone! If you can hear me we need back-
Sun interrupted her with his yelling.
Sun: They got a robot, & it's big, really big!
Me: One of Atlas robots! Roman somehow got it & controlling it!
Yang: Where are you guys?
Sun yelling gave her a quick notice that we pass them up. I look forward to see a dead end.
Me: Hop.to the highway.
We jump very far & ended on some cars. We turn back to check....
Sun: Did we lose him?
Me: Negative!
My answer was prove that the robot jump on the freeway & still chasing us. We are still hopping from car to car until my wolf ears twitch. Before I could react, someone or some thing push me through two highway straight to the ground, landing face first. Only one word would escape my mouth......
Me: Ouch.
I got up & see where am I. Then far to my left, I saw Ruby & the other in front of the robot. I look at the puddle & it's going towards me, but I back up. It form big shards of ice & inside, he form his body. He broke the ice & let out a screech to know we're near them. I get ready to face this creature.
Me: I will be there. I promise.
We shoulder tackle, then he turn his hand into a sharp ice shard to hit me, but I miss. I tried to analyze his fighting strategy. I duck & gave him an uppercut & he retaliate with a punch to me. I shoulder tackle him. I counter his punch & gave him a punch him a couple of times. He tried but I block & freeze his feet to the ground & delivers a combos. He quickly turn into a puddle of water & broke my combo by giving me an uppercut, knocking a little far. I got up & think.
Me:(head): Close quarters or long range?
I was interrupted by an ice clone of himself & a couple of ice to bring me close to him as he did a one, two punch, uppercut me 3x, & bring out the ice shards to push me back. I still got up, but a little wounded.
Me: Long range.....
I charge at him & tried to get him with an axe kick, but he dodge it. The air is forming 6 ice balls with spike. It must be his controlling.
Me: A formidable warrior.....
I conjure up a sword. He return to his body.
Me: ....somehow, lacking confliction.
He somehow guiding these ice balls to me, but I destroy 5 of them & throw the last one to him, yet he shrugged it off. He melted back & use it dissolved me, which it did..........or did it? I teleport quickly & use an ice klone to take the fall & I pop up behind Glacius, punch through his ice shell & pull his spine out, leaving him broken & dead with some type of blue blood on my hand.
((Note: MK reference.))
My wolf ears pick up a sound of gunshot. I quickly look & see a shotgun heading towards Roman, but blocked by Neo. I conjure up Nora's weapon.
Roman: Ladies. gentle wolf. Ice queen.
Weiss: Hey
Roman: Always a pleasure. Neo, if you would.
She took a bow & somehow wink at me, trying to toy with me.
Me(head): No. Not this time.
I quickly skate to her, passing the others & tried to stop them by "busting some heads," but Neo quickly activate her semblance to teleport, letting me shattered glass. I look around & managed to get their scent & see they are in a helicopter, escaping me. The other came to my side & saw it as well.
Yang: So I guess he got a new henchmen.
Weiss: Yeah, I guess she really made our plans...fall apart?
I sigh loudly.
Weiss: Oh, come on.
Me: It was bad timing for jokes. But that's not it.
Ruby: Then what it is?
I really didn't want to bring up anything when it comes to Neo, but it looks like I don't have a choice. I need to tell them about it & the real reason I'm in beacon.
Blake: Is there something you're not telling us?
Yang: Khiry....?
Me: .............I will tell you while we walk to beacon.
Ruby: Hey, where is Sun & Neptune?
I thought about it for a second, realize that Sun got my laptop & my bag.
((DONE! I'M 33% DONE WITH THE VOLUME! I MIGHT DO THE NEXT ONE TOMORROW! UNTIL THEN, STAY SHOCKING!!))
