Location: Unknown Atlesian Military Blacksite Time: 10:00 PM _________________________

Within the Blacksite, scientists and military personnel were all discussing about their daily routines or patrolling the site. Around different experiments were performed underneath the eyes of the Atlesian Government as long as there was some details that were safe to be disclosed than it shall be disclosed for the public. However amongst all of the Grimm they have housed and all the weapons in research and development... was one subject they deemed to be "special..."

Subject 731 ....deemed as "The Man Who Keeps Healing" as they wondered and theorized if he was a human with a healing semblance that would heal faster than a normal human or faunus could heal with their aura intact. For this subject he was far more than that to which Commander Maseo Koroshiya. The overseer of this blacksite wanted to know the limits they could push him to....

Which they did... leaving many scientists and soldiers horrified and even some requesting time away from the facility after seeing this man who even begged them to let him go be freed. What made things worse was that some security guards allowed the Commander to violate Subject 731... when he was not aware of what was happening.

In Subject 731's cell he was muttering to himself constantly while laying on the floor deprived of his senses in the darkened room. "I-I-I-I a-a-am n-n-n-not S-S-S-Subject.... s-s-seven-t-t-t-three-o-o-one... I-I-I am ... Hermes...." He said to himself hearing the voices of the past worm into his brain along with his screams of pain from his earlier experiments performed on him and including mocking laughter.

"Hermes... all you had to do was let go of her." The voice of his village elder rang throughout his head.

"No No No! The Gods took E-E-Eisa... a-a-a-away from m-m-m-m-me.... t-t-t-they.... took her!!!" Hermes replied holding his head while trembling in fear.

"Until you learn what it is to move on you must suffer the weight of playing God." Solis, The God Of Lights voice echoed in the recesses of Hermes' mind.

"Y-Y-You... d-d-d-d-dont know w-w-what i-i-its like now......! S-suffering like this!!!" Hermes said again feeling his fingers crushing his head.

"Hermes... dear?" The voice of Eisa rang as Hermes stopped trembling as he looked up to see her, bathed in a golden glow...

"Eisa?....Is that you?" Hermes said almost wanting to cry.. while she smiled approaching him and bending over with a smile....until.

"Well Well, Subject 731... You and I are going to have so much fun." Eisa's voice would be twisted into Commander Maseo's voice making Hermes immediately punch the hallucination away while the immortal stood up and came to the ultimate realization. He was losing his mind, the amount of pain, the many vivisections, the biohazard like tests, the Grimm tearing at his flesh, and even being violated.....by not just another human but by even a Grimm....The trauma alone was starting to become too much for him to take and now he was teetering on the edge and all that it took was one more little push to do it.

To which Hermes screamed at the top of his lungs running into one of the dark walls and began to claw at it desperately until his nails broke off and blood was all that was left noticing that golden glow as it just heals before he started smashing his head against the wall over and over and over again until he felt his skull break and hearing the squelching sound of his own brains hitting the wall and with one more good hit... he finally fell backwards falling unconscious....

Which in his dream he awoke in a log cabin with his fathers...Adrastos and Erasmus as he could hear them both talking about something before they approached Hermes hugging him tightly and telling him how much they love him so much and how proud they are to have him has their son. Which Hermes cried in their embrace.. while then a loud unlocking sound snapped him from his dream as he moved to check his forehead... it was no longer a bloody mess... as the doors opened with light flooding in...

As Hermes tried to stand up but now noticed how Malnutritioned he really was, thin to the point where he could see his bones and even so his body cannibalized itself. Was it some kind of experiment that led to this...as two military guardsmen walked in picking him up. and dragging him with everyone walking by who saw Hermes only had sorrowful looks on their faces.. unlike what Hermes saw in thousands of years in the past where it was their expressions of anger and hatred this time it was merciful looks on their faces and shame towards their inaction.

The immortal would be placed in a room where he was sat down unable to respond...and even his hair was grown out with his eyes screaming for mercy.

"Subject 731, may you please look up." The voice of Commander Maseo spoke with Hermes looking up at the window with a dark glare in his eyes leaving him more enraged than anything. To stare at the very man who had violated him and made him into this empty shell of a man..

"Today we will conducting a new experiment for holding prisoners with powerful semblances meant to be held in deeper parts of the Brig. This is a new invention called the Semblance Limiter...." A scientist spoke over the intercom inside the room while a guard held out the device and another kept his weapon trained on Hermes. While he placed the device around Hermes' neck.

"Now Subect-731. Will you now go full power with your semblance?" The Scientist asked. Which Hermes did not understand what a semblance was. The guard who placed his device on him whispered to Hermes. "Your power..." making Hermes understand as he would close his eyes concentrating on bringing dark magic to life. If he can gather just enough... but a rapid beeping sound was heard as finally loud droning beep came then.

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTT!!!

Hermes would scream as his concentration was interrupted while convulsing on the ground being electrocuted as he trembled on the floor. "Th-This.. d-d-device.... this was meant... to limit my power... through... electrical.... currents...... th-this is a Shock collar!!!!!" He thought to himself with the most enraged growl ever which he tried again to summon forth even just enough dark magic to chuck but another wave of electricity came through as Hermes screamed again this time louder than the first.

With the voices of the past starting to grow more distorted, the faces of those he learned and loved fading away, and lastly the memory of his wife Eisa... gone. Everything was fragmented excepted for one thing his passions of playing God.....which when he tried again one more scream of pain with electricity came through as finally....

Hermes laid there burned out as some Scientists and Commander Maseo celebrated the guards and others did not.....which one of the gleeful scientists was about to open the door as Hermes tried one more time but with no scream of pain or a scream for mercy.... it was instead one thing that made even the cold hearted Maseo Koroshiya.. feel fear.

"AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! YES!!!! YES!!!! THE GLORIOUS PAIN!!!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!! FUCK ME! GIVE ME MORE!!! YOUR TRUE GOD DEMANDS IT!!!!!!" Hermes screamed at the top of his lungs making everyone realize they have now crossed the rubicon for Hermes. Which the guard tried to grab Hermes and instead he recieved a bladed tendril through his stomach as blood splattered against the wall and just before the other guard could shoot another tendril sprouted from his back and shot through the guards face. Making one of the gleeful scientists open up the door to see Hermes was ready as he launched himself at him and bit him on the neck before biting harder hearing the scientist gargle and scream in pain before he pulled back hard tearing off the throat of the antagonizing scientists as everyone ran while for Hermes he ate the flesh.

Warm blood salivating his throat.... a bit strange... but that made him more of a monster than ever. Which Hermes would begin his slaughter laughing manaically slicing through guard after guard, watching the blood cover his face and body while he roared chasing after one Maseo Koroshiya before h dared to think about leaving.... which Maseo and his men were at the ready in the end of one corridor just a few more pathways to the exit. Just hearing the laughter of Hermes mixed with the screams of male and female guards being slaughtered with one loud scream and a sickening crunch... hearing only a few footsteps and then....

just Hermes being revealed looking much more healthier than ever..... due to his healing being kicked into overdrive from being shot so much could be the reason why.... but... he looked at all of them before smiling.. insanely...

"SHOOT HIM!!!!!" Maseo shouted before Hermes was the first to draw sending out his Tendrils impaling two of the soldiers as he raced towards the group with two more tendrils sprouting from his back as he sent them out to impale two more guards and use them as body shields to get to Maseo as he started to run breathing heavily until tripping over something.... but he swore he felt something burning around his legs and that was it...

No...

When he looked back his leg was missing!!! and Hermes was walking up behind him.... realizing that Hermes had thrown away one of the guards and used his tendrils to slice off his leg... Maseo would turn over to face the man.. he had violated and tortured.... "W-WWait.. subject.. 731 if its anything that was meant to be your last experiment an-" he attempted to plead until Hermes sliced of both his left and right finger hearing the Atlesian commander scream in pain and shuddering agony.

"Huuuh... what were you saying. Oh THE TRUE GOD WAS TOO BUSY NOT CARING FOR YOUR USELESS PLEAS FOR HIS MERCY!!!! ONLY I HERMES, THE TRUE GOD DEMANDS RESPECT!!!!" Hermes said grabbing Maseo by the neck and slamming him against a wall.. choking him as his grip grew tighter and tighter and all Maseo saw in front of him...

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A MAN IS PUSHED PAST HIS VERY LIMIT

And then.... CRACK....

Nothing else more... than that as Hermes would throw his violaters corpse to the side and would start to run laughing wildly until he was far enough from the facility where it was no longer in view and all he could see was just endless amounts of snow and land as Hermes got onto his knees laughing wildly and insanely... but as the clouds went away.........revealing the stars and the broken moon...

Leaving Hermes to look up at it... as tears rolled down his cheeks and just for a moment... Hermes' sanity... returned albeit for that one moment before it regressed back into the recesses of his mind.... as he stood up...

"I-I-Iam... The True God.... Hermes..." He said walking away still covered in blood and bits of gore... now uncertain where he will go.. but his freedom was assured..

Thundering Heart, Burning Rage...

Note- This is from the Spiderverse Verse of Blade Stryker as the Thundering Flaming Spiderman! Also to further note this may contain some spoilers for Across the Spiderverse.

Also this has been placed underneath a readmore for due to possible length and plus just to avoid dashboard spam.

Location: New York City, New York Time: 10:00 PM OST: Rage of a Spider....

After what seemed like a week turned into a month, The Green Goblin had finally returned on his crime spree, destroying entire banks and robbing as much as he could all to make ends meet... well not technically but... just hungering to try and bring out one person after his assault on the Empire State Building a month ago... which lead to the death of three people... one of them being Hideyoshi Stryker....

"Hahaha!!! Just where is your Spiderman now..... he must've finally given up after the Empire State Building attack...." Green G would say using their hoverboard to fly away from the bank he robbed, while he was getting in contact with an unknown employer... until.... something on their radar appeared......

and it was fast approaching....

the Green Goblin turned their hoverboard around to see a thunderbolt striking and revealing... the flame and lightning accented Spiderman this time with both eyes glowing Red and Yellow...... this was not goood....

Just before the Green Goblin would react he and his respective Spiderman would collide together as they both growled and roared at eachother at the top of their lungs with the Hoverboard they were was spinning out of control with it hitting the sides of three buildings until it would approach Central Park as they would make contact in the ground sending both him and Spiderman were sent flying across the air and onto the ground sending both into unconsciousness.....

For a few minutes the Green Goblin laid there slowly coming to seeing the flames of his now destroyed Hoverboard. Ehh, he would just replace it... simple enough and shouldn't cost much... however, when he was about to enter unconsciousness again thinking he must have killed the Spiderman.. he saw... something moving amongst the flames.....

And out from the flames emerged the Spiderman... this time with flame covered claws and those lightning leg blades.....however, there was no wild quips from him... nothing.... only but just a low growl....

The Green Goblin quickly felt his adrenaline shoot through his very veins forcing him to come out of his unconsciousness faster than ever while he would slowly stand up ready to face this.....demon... that...

"Spiderman... wait.. you should know this was meant to happen to you.... " The Green Goblin said cracking their knuckles in an attempt to look tough while the lightning and fire spiderman stopped, allowing his face shield to open up revealing his mouth.

"And so....dont you remember what you took." He said in a very monotone voice that could send even chills down any villains spine..This SERIOUSLY was not like the Spiderman he knew....

"I dont recall what I took... but I can tell you this boy.. I am making you more stronger than you think...." Green Goblin stated with a wild smile underneath their mask...

"Lets find out....." The Firethunder Spiderman replied with his mouth shield closing as he rushed towards the Green Goblin chucking an entire piece of the hoverboard at the Green menace which they would block it away from him only to met with an x-slash from the Firethundering Spidermans heated claws. which broke through their armor and into their skin making them exclaim in pain.

Just the searing heat from it alone was painful as it sent more adrenaline for the Goblin to handle but only to be met with a punch and a kick sending him to the ground....

Looking up he only saw the Spiderman looking down on him and then... came a punch after a punch after another one, with his foes screaming turning more enraged after each punch.....then just before the Firelightning Spiderman could finish off the Green Goblin..... somehow someone came through a portal and came a Blue Spiderman with red accents using a hard light web to stop him.....

Which he slowly looked back...

"Stop.... that wont bring him back..." The advanced Spiderperson spoke.

"Really.. cause I'm about to do what my Unc would've wanted me to do cuz!" He said gritting his teeth ready to end this.

"Listen to me! You do this and you'll become the very thing you fight against! " The advanced spiderman pleaded with him... as he started to calm down... looking at the Green Goblins battered face they were breathing weakly......

Which he was standing in between two things.....becoming a monster and proving J. Jackson Jameson right......that he was a menace or listening to his uncles final words.

"With Great Power... Comes Great Responsibility"

Hearing those words ring out in his head.... as he stood up and backed up a bit... his hands trembling as they were covered in the blood of his enemy.... "S-Shit.. what... just what did I-" He said feeling the other Spiderman put a hand on his shoulder...

"Do you wanna talk somewhere?" He would ask...

"Y-Yeah...." He said turning around and shooting some webs at the Green Goblins arms and legs to keep them there.. before he would swing away with this new Spiderman...

but the moment the Green Goblin would wake up... he would realize this...

NEVER TO BRING UPON THE BURNING AND THUNDERING RAGE OF THE FIRETHUNDERING SPIDERMAN

[strykingback]

Re:Call..

Location: Solitas Region, Mantle Time: 12:00 PM OST: Heavy is The Head That Wears The Crown Volume Four.

______________________________

The top of the hour had arrived in Mantle, the streets were overpopulated with people from different varieties human or faunus. Everyone who was born here remained here as part of their status to serve the higher class, that higher class being Atlas of course. 

Yet, the city itself was a shell of what it once was. What was once a city that started The Great War against the other kingdoms became a city without a military no less a Huntsman Academy of course. Speaking of Alsius Academy the once prestigious academy also fell to ruin when the Rise of Atlas had come. 

It was much for someone to take in, clothed in drapes to hide his identity. Kazura Rojas Verde was here in Mantle.. after all a Knights duty was never over even despite his wounds. However, he was here for more than that.... he was here to see an old friend. This old friend of his helped him and his teammates escape from Atlas during their assault on Icarus PMC. 

Kazura could only sigh at the state of disarray Mantle was in. The racism against the faunus was beginning to spiral out of control ever since the White Fang attacked Beacon Academy alongside the unknown assailant whose message sowed the seeds of distrust in every kingdom.  “ Damn Faunus! All of you ruined everything including an entire festival! “ Someone shouted catching the draped prince’s attention. Witnessing a human and his group of cronies kicking a male faunus, who was already battered and bruised from the consistent beating. 

“  Stop... Stop...” Kazura whispered to with his hand trembling with pure rage and just wanting to help. Yet though he felt like if he were to reveal himself the Atlesian military would be wary of his presence and would send their forces to apprehend him...

Yet though what is the difference between being someone who witnesses something and trying to help, against someone who does nothing and moves on?  Is that justice?  Is that being a chivalrous person? Or is it cowardice? Kazura could feel his teeth clenching with pure rage coming with his teeth being gritted, finally his boiling point was reached when seeing one of the human cronies approach with a hammer.... intending to kill the battered faunus .  “  STOP!!!!  ” He shouted unsheathing both his sword Caliburn and his shield Honorbrought. Which he proceeded to throw his shield at the man who was holding the hammer knocking down to the ground with his shield returning to the knight stopping the violence causing everyone to stop what they were doing looked at Kazura. 

“  Is this Just?! Tell me! IS THIS JUST?! To blame the faunus for something that they never did?! “ The knight of honor shouted with all of his might. 

“  Yeah its goddamn just! Also, who the hell do you think you are!?  “ The man who beat the faunus questioned Kazura only for the knight to menacingly approach him taking off the hood of his drape sheathing his weapons. 

“ I am Kazura Rojas Verde, The Eighth Prince of Brumel, The one who saved your city from being owned by a tyrannical PMC CEO, and I ask of you to drop your weapons.... and leave the faunus man be....or face my wrath. “ He demanded glaring at the leader of the beating who simply looked in his eyes and felt fearful....backing up and starting to turn tail and run with the others following suit, with Kazura putting on his hoodie to his drape once more. 

Walking over to battered faunus he placed two fingers on his neck listening to his labored breathing and getting a pulse. “  He’s alive... He needs medical attention now!!! “ He said with a serious tone with one of the civilians of Mantle rushing over, “  I used to be a combat medic for the Atlesian military I can take care of him...” She spoke with Kazura rising and going about his way.... 

For the next few minutes he wandered around the city until his scroll started to ring taking it out and checking who was calling him here, his eyes being drawn to the virtual screen. 

“UNKNOWN NUMBER” 

The scroll flashed taking a few minutes to believe that it was his “friend” taking one finger and swiping on the left to answer it bringing the phone-like device to his ear. 

“ Hello? “ Kazura said  “ Hello Kazura, I was not expecting you to return here ever since the Founding Day Crisis... instead you are quite lucky I disabled the camera in the sector that you were in... “ A distorted voice spoke through the speaker of the others Scroll. 

“ Heh Guess I am really....Mr.X, but for now I may need to speak with you.. in private....  “ The Knight replied. 

“  Well then if you’d like to speak with me head down to the second alleway and turn into it ... I’ll get the door for you...” Mr. X said befoe ending the call with Kazura putting his scroll away and following Mr. X’s instructions going down to the second alleyway and entering it where one of the brick walla changed  to a metal doo sliding upwards to open with the Knight walking in and looking around.

“ Mr. X? I’m here! Mr. X? “ Kazura said walking in deeper with the door shutting and the cool blue light of a computer in the darkness illuminating the room with he lights being turned on. 

“  Shit...  ” Kazura said putting his hand on his on the hilt of his sword thinking that he was lead into a trap. 

“  Stay your weapons, Ser Kazura... “ A voice rang out with that of a young man in his twenties coming down from the stairs looking at the prince. 

“  Who are you? Wheres... Mr. X?!  “ Kazura demanded still unsure of who this man is. 

“  Well you are looking at him. I’m Mr. X. But in reality.. my name is Guangxian Nuemann of the Atelier Agents... and the man who gave you and your team the information on Icarus and helped you all escape that day.   “ The hacker spoke looking at the Knight who moved his hand off the hilt of his sword. . 

In disbelief Kazura shook his head. “  Wait you are an Atelier Agent?! Then that means... there has to be others out there that are sti-”  

OST: Agents Forgotten

“  Was.... until that damned incident put us all out of commission..... and yes there are agents out there... but we can’t even if we did we would be arrested by the Atlesian government. So far one of our met that fate. “ Guangxian explained going back to  his computer and opening up the security cam footage on Mantle and Atlas checking each sector with the other screens lighting up. 

What did those other screen show they shown naught but horror, Mistralian villages were under siege by the White Fang, In Vale multiple faunus murders has been taking place, while in Atlas more Anti-Faunus sentiments has been happening making the Knight growl in fury. 

“ Infuriating isnt it... thats how helpless we agents feel like....” Guangxian said somberly looking at a photo of the agents just two days before their last mission. Said picture consisting of many familiar faces close to Guangxian ...

“  Then we need to bring back the Agents then! The world needs them now more than ever! “ Kazura replied with Guangxian sighing heavily. 

“ Try and think this through, if the agents were brought back into action what do you think will happen? Will we either be accepted for what we do or Will there be another Retrison incident lurking underneath our very noses?  “ Guangxian asked. 

For a moment Kazura stayed quiet thinking to himself for that moment...

Be accepted in the world that has forgotten about the Atelier Agents.  Or  Rejection in the eyes of billions for a tough decision....

Heavy is the head that wears the crown indeed. However Kazura wanted to defy such a thing...and face it with open eyes and an open mind without any fear at all. 

“  I think the agents are needed for one thing. They brought hope when it all seemed lost, cases that had went cold were closed with the perpetrator being brought to justice, brave acts of counterterrorism stopped before any attack could happen. The agents were meant to stop wars before they even happened! So far a war is coming and Beacon was just the start!! “ Kazura spoke with pride in his voice with Guangxian turning around in his chair... a soft smile emerging on his face. 

“  Well then.. it took me six months to get the recall program up... but now the choice is yours.”  The hacker said putting up a screen for the Recall. 

With the virtual touch screen saying: RECALL  ALL ATELIER AGENTS?          Y/N

OST: In Agents We Trust

Kazura walked up to it looking at it carefully sighing softly taking a moment to hear his fathers words in his head before he left to go to Beacon Academy. 

“ Whatever you decide to do.... I shall accept your decision... and stand with you all the way “ Rodrigues’ voice rang throughout Kazuras head with the young prince reached out to press the Y button on the screen and finally a proud voice simply stated.  “ RECALLING ALL ATELIER AGENTS ! “ 

Which a map of Remnant shown up showing the active agents and their Callsigns coming up sifting through each and every agent and their callsign name calling each one up until one answered with a female voice on the other side. 

“ So I take it that the Agents are now needed again. “ She said in an eloquent voice causing Kazura to chuckle. 

“ Yes, Yes we need the Atelier Agents now more than ever...” The Knight spoke.

A Unification of Three Kingdoms (DRABBLE)

Location: Schnee Manor.

Time: 9:00 PM

OST: Under Arrest.

_____________________

The manor was quiet beyond all belief with each of the council members  who arrived for the first meeting. However as it is there was also members of the Atelier Paladins who had arrived from Brumel, mostly Raptor Squadron which was consisted by Lieutenant Eros and Jack Stryker. Yet the feeling of uneasiness was in the air for those who supported Robyn Hill. 

However, after getting a tip off from Willow Schnee, the Paladins had the information needed to incarcerate the man after all... he did cheat to win. Jack,Eros, and  Weiss were horrified and disgusted by Jacques actions. It was enough even to piss off Eros who is well known to keep a cool head. Now was not the time to cause another Brumelian-Atlesian war especially in the midst of an invasion from the Artorians.

Approaching the door Jack  opened the door to the council meeting with Lieutenant  Eros walking in beside Weiss. “I know who caused the meddling of the election! and you are putting the blame on the wrong person!!” The former heiress said with the council looking in shock while Jacques remained stoic and somewhat unfazed. 

“Oh and what proof do you have? Oh and how glad that you brought the Ateliers here as well” He said looking at all three of them. 

“This proof right here JACQUES.” Eros said placing the scroll down as he looked at Ironwood who glared right back at Jacques to which the Schnee Patriarch began to look worried his eyes widening. “Play it Lieutenant.” Ironwood said with Eros tapping on the virtual screen showing the playback of the entire conversation with Watts and Hans Amadeus. 

“Watts?!” A female Council member said. 

“I thought he died in the Paladin incident!! Oh... no offense by the way.”  Another said and apologized immediately to Eros. 

“Hans Amadeus... wait a minute.. that means he was conspiring with the enemy as well!!!” 

“Uh! Uhm..” Jacques said standing up out of his chair and then nervously composing himself. “That... is alternative facts my dear coun-” He said until immediately Jack walked up to him looking pissed off in his eyes. 

“SIT. THE.FUCK.DOWN. YOU SORRY EXCUSE OF A FATHER....”

He growled with malice in his voice ready to strangle him but holding it back with the Schnee patriarch gulping and sitting back down immediately. Immediately Weiss glared at her father and smirked at him she had waited for this moment.. this life was hers and hers alone. Jacques was no longer in control of it. 

“Jacques Schnee you are under arrest!!....can I say that??” She said pulling out her Huntress license. 

“Yes you can, also Jacques.. you are also under arrest for violating the Brumelian-Atlesian accord by conspiring with the enemy, meddling with the election where Robyn Hill won fairly, and lastly for taking away the Schnee name which rightfully belonged to Willow Schnee. You will be taken away from Atlas and taken to Brumel where you will meet with both the Atlesian Jury and the Grand Brumelian Council for your crimes...” Eros said with two Ateliers from Eros’ raptor squadron picking up  the Schnee from the shoulder and handcuffing him. 

“YOU DAMNED ATELIER PALADINS!! LET ME GO!! LET ME GO!! YOU WONT GET AWAY THIS YOU HEAR ME!!!” Jacques said as he was taken away. With Eros looking at Ironwood. 

“Yeah and I fucked your wife.. Oh wait she placed a divorce agreement on ya. Shes my girlfriend now.” Jack said in a joking manner smirking watching him getting taked away with Weiss punching the older Stryker playfully with a smile. 

“General.. permission to briefly take My kings place on the council.” He said with Ironwood smiling and nodding. With Eros taking a seat 

OST: Unify and Stand Together.

“Now that we are all here... Eros. What is your plan to combat the Artorians?..so far we cant send out any forces due to Jacques decision. Not to mention if we send out any forces to the ground it will be shot down immediately.” A council member said with the others muttering amongst themselves. 

“For years...  I had always hated coming here because of what happened to my mother and father those years ago when I was just a boy. Yet, I cant hold a grudge forever because a good man once told me...”If one Holds A Grudge against Someone over Something for too long. It destroys you from the inside out.”  Yet, The Solitas region is our home..not just the home and Birthplace of Mantle, Brumel, and Atlas.  We have bickered over stupid shite for over six months now. When are we going to stop this, yes I agree with Ironwood stopping Dust cargo by impliciting an embargo was a good idea.. but it was also a bad idea as well. People are out there suffering trying to hold on for dear life and look at what it has brought. It brought an enemy right to our front door... and now we have one chance at pushing them back.” Eros spoke. 

“What is this one chance you speak of then Lieutenant Eros?” A person from the council spoke. 

“A Joint-Unification of All Mantlean, Brumelian, and Atlesian forces. Because, we need to stand together here and now. If Mantle falls Atlas is next, and if Atlas falls, Brumel would be next on the Artorian chopping block. General Ironwood I know you will disagree with what I’m saying. However, we must come together instead trying to point fingers at eachother and saying its their fault for doing this wrong instead of this. If we can’t solve an issue together we all suffer for our mistakes. That is my plan.We can assure you council members... WE, No... ALL OF US WILL PUSH ARTORIAS OUT OF MANTLE.” Eros said. 

“Lieutenant Eros.. if anything your gonna need Ace-Ops with ya.” Clover said looking at the Lieutenant saluting him. 

“After the Brumelian-Atlesian war... you spared Mantle and helped many of the people of Mantle find their place in Brumel. It would be an honor to fight beside you with my Happy Huntresses.” Robyn said saluting him. 

“Lieutenant. I agree with your plan. Get your forces ready. All Council members in agreement?” Ironwood stated. 

“Aye!!” All of them said...

Finally... A TRUCE HAS BEEN REACHED. THE FIRST JOINT OPERATION BETWEEN THE ATELIER PALADINS OF BRUMEL, THE ATLESIAN MILITARY, AND THE MANTLEAN RESISTANCE HAS RISEN.

OST: BLCKOUTS BACK BITCHES.

__________________________

Returning to Atlas was like a death sentence for Team BLCKOUT, Hermes, Eros, and Jack. All eight of them slowly walking past the students with some of the students and soldiers muttering that they were sentenced to death by Ironwood. Yet, this was their decision to return, with the soldiers that were not so ragged  placed their weapons up ready to fire. 

“TEAM BLCKOUT! As an order received by General Ironwood you and your allies have been senten-” An Atlesian soldier said before he was met with a bullet to the face by none other than a very pissed off Blade Stryker. 

“Shut the fuck up Atlesian...” He said in a dark tone to which the other soldiers started opening fire, in return Louvel  and Eros immediately rushed forward in front of the team of “Fugitives” with the wolf faunus unsheathing his sword  and slicing their throats whilst the Special Atelier Agent  shot at the other two Atlesian soldiers dispatching them. With Jack opening the door seeing no other soldiers inside. 

“Looks like Atlas must be really busy at the moment... come on... we need to get Ironwood so we can have a good ol’... chat with him. “ The Old Stryker said moving into the building with everyone else following behind him. 

“Either way... we must push forward to claim our target...” Hermes said with a growl in his voice. 

“Oh I’m going to bloody enjoy this....” Eros said getting ready to move through the Academy blasting Atlesian soldiers left and right. 

“On this day.. we will make eight people feel like one million soldiers” Kazura said unsheathing Caliburn in its sword form and his shield Pendragon at the ready. 

“Their fate has been decided...” Louvel said in a dark tone with a bit of malice escaping his voice. 

“No More hiding... we have one shot at this. “ Corona said loading up Talon in it’s machine gun state. 

“Krraaaah!!!” Outsider barked ready to attack and waiting for his orders. 

TO BE CONTINUED.... WELL AFTER THE EPISODE.

_____________________________________

The Royal Palace of Brumel. Never had Eros hoped to see those doors. Ever since he returned from Atlas after Ironwoods betrayal and the death of his close friend Clover, the leader of raptor squadron had been silent. The last time he was silent and angered was when the Atelier Agent Program was disavowed after the Retrison Incident. 

Yet, here he was being led by two of King Rodrigues royal guardsman as they approached the mighty doors as it opened up automatically with the room adorned in marble whites and hints of gold. Rodrigues was never a man who liked Gold. He was humble and understanding, but how understanding would he be towards Eros?

He stopped just mere feet before the king taking off his helmet and kneeling with his head bowed down looking at the ground silently. With the Royal guardsmen returning to their Lords side.  “My Lord.” Eros spoke looking down.  “Eros, you may rise.” Rodrigues replied with the Lieutenant looking up and rising back up to his feet. 

“You know why I have brought you here yes? Atlas has been taken after Ironwood melted down and you did not stay to protect it. ” The King spoke again with the Lieutenant holding his helmet tightly. 

“It was upon Ironwoods command that we were deemed as “traitors to Atlas.” I’m not proud of what I had to do sire, I am not. But I had to make it a priority to force our Atlesian brothers to see reason. Instead they only followed orders like all good soldiers do.” Eros answered.  “And Good Soldiers Can Disobey Orders.. but I take it you lead the assault on Atlas Academy?” the king spoke once more.  “Yes sir. I take full responsibility to what happened and if you shall sire, execute me.” He said causing Rodrigues’ eyes to widen with shock but he could see in Eros’ eyes that...he was suffering betrayed by good friends and the loss of a friend can weigh even heavily on a soldier. 

“Eros...I cant allow that. Not even after the loss of your friend.” 

“I miss him sir. I do....and I allowed the enemy to take Atlas all because of Ironwood going berserk. I’ll be damned if I allow the enemy to take Atlas and I will fight with my might to avenge my fallen brother in arms if I have to!” Eros spoke.

“The Artorians do not know of our existence yet, but it is only a matter of time until they do find out about out home and our people....I can see that my sons own actions are rubbing off on you.” Rodrigues smirked causing a soft chuckle to leave Eros’ lips.

“I... um. Well. Damn I didnt think you would see that in me sire. I mean if your son did come here and say he wanted to atleast find a way to save Atlas from Salem and the Artorians then I’m all for it!”  “Well that my son did of course.” The King of Brumel said with Eros’ eyes lighting up with passion and a fire in his hear. “ And he wanted me to promote you from Lieutenant to Commander.” 

“T-To Commander... sire. thats an honor but-.” 

“My son saw you plan every stage of the intial defense of Mantle and Atlas....and saw a commander within you even helped him out of Atlas with his team and his allies. Now then Commander. Your orders are this, to observe and study what the Artorians plan on doing and find a weakness, Find our where The Relic of Creation is, and lastly...avenge your fallen brother from Atlas.” 

“At Once my lord!” Eros said getting ready to leave.  “Oh Also! We have made the choice that some new armor was well overdue for your promotion.” Rodrigues said standing up from his throne  as one of the Royal Guardsman gave him a helmet with red markings on it as the King approached him giving it to the former Lieutenant now Commander. “Brumel Prevails....” He said giving the helmet to his new Commander as Eros heistantly took it.  “The Rest of your armor is being delivered but I believe that you will find it to your liking..” Rodrigues spoke smiling. 

Putting on his new helmet Eros smiled underneath it. “Yes Sir.” Brumel...will always prevail even under the most stressful of situations. Now armed with a commander who leads by example and shows it the Artorians will have something to fear.

The Beginning of Artorian Rule..

Location: Atlas, General Ironwoods Office.

Time: 6:00 AM.

OST: A New Dawn.

__________________

This was it.. the moment  this one singular moment that all the Amadeus brothers hungered for. An Artorian Rule in Atlas, setback after setback. Ironwood snapped, The Ace-Ops leader Clover Ebi is dead, and the Atlesian Military is far too ragged to continue to fight. 

Hans and Glestchner both looked at the empty chair where sat Ironwood and next to him his most trusted specialist. Not anymore. Now would sit a leader... a leader with the strength to rule. 

“We have come very far... haven’t we brother.” Glestchner spoke looking at his brother and then back at the empty chair slowly walking up to it. 

“I’m aware of it Glestchner... while I did lead this force to claim Atlas I’am glad that you did tell me of Lady Salem’s plan to bluff in front of Ironwood to break him or our military might could’ve feigned defeat  right then and there.” Hans replied watching his older brother approach the chair. 

“Despite all this. I think you should be leader of this new Artorias. The Beginning of the Artorian Empire.” 

“An Interesting suggestion, and I’am ready to uphold this responsibility. We must begin by purging the bloated pigs of Atlas and sending them back to Mantle... let them be fed to the horde below and make them struggle to come back up, and those who have fought to survive to be up here shall remain as long as they show loyalty to Artorias and Artorias only.” Glestchner nodded taking a seat. 

“And the People of Mantle... since they do have a heat shield thanks to the sacrifice of that Eikon (Titan) against Imperius which not only saved his son and Perseus, but bought Mantle a long respite....Let them live out their daily lives.. but those that have the strength to work shall work in the dust mines. Both Human and Faunus including the bloated pigs of Atlas.” 

“Agreed my brother. It shall be done.” Hans spoke turning around leaving the room looking at the Elite Artorian soldiers bringing a wounded Ironwood, from being beaten down by his own men and women who tired of the Atlesian general. “Wait.” He told his elite troops looking at the battered General as he knelt smiling at him. 

“What...is. it that you want... you-” Ironwood spoke until the fist of the Artorian General met his the mans face with a drizzle of blood leaving his mouth, leaning in to his ear Hans only reveled in this pain.

“Enjoyed your final moments as General, James... because I shall enjoy my new position as General of the new Artorian-Atlesian military and will enjoy the flames of Atlas and the screams of the people YOU failed to protect. You should’ve focused more of your forces on the rest of Remnant rather than in Atlas.” Hans spoke standing up with another soldier approaching Hans. 

“Sir! We have captured the rest of Ace Ops do you think it is best that we execute them or-” The soldier spoke until a hand from Hans came up stopping the man. 

“Take them away to the Gauntlet. Let them be imprisoned alongside the others who dared to oppose our rule.”  Hans spoke placing on his mask. 

“All Artorian forces, it is time for the beginning of a New Dawn. Force the Atlesian pigs out of their houses and homes with the exception of those who fought to be here.., let them know a new rule has begun, execute the members of the council..and let this be a message to all of Remnant, that Artorias still lives!” Hans spoke through his communicator. 

That entire morning was filled with screams of terror, as Artorians soldiers left and right swarmed the streets of Atlas cutting or burning the flags of the Greatest Kingdom and replacing them with Artorian flags. The screams of the innocent or well  overprivileged were not heard as they were sent back down to Mantle which ledft most Mantleans confused, shocked, and in awe. Those who were spared were questioned and some were forced to questioned. Luckily Willow Schnee and her son Whitley were one of the few who were questioned and kept their right to be in Atlas. 

That morning was known to be as the End of Atlas.. and the New Dawn of Artorias.

Location: Mantle, Unknown Apartment. 

Time: 20 Days After the End of Atlas. 6:00 AM 

OST: Awaken My People. 

______________________________

Morning had come... and with Morning, came the announcements for the rise of the Artorian people through a speech from Glestchner. 

“Awaken! Awaken people of Mantle and former bloated pigs of Atlas!!  The time for rest has come to an end! The night has ended and the morning has arrived, there will be time to rest once dusk arrives. Back then during the times where Atlas has trampled over you, now both Mantleans and Atlesians must work to enter the beloved Artorian Atlas! No matter your gender, No matter your race be it Faunus or Human, both shall know what it is like to suffer and know pain! Feel your fingers own flesh peel from your skin from working in the dust mines, feel the back breaking labor that had toiled us the Artorians for so long, and know of the wrath that will fall upon you if any forms of resistance is found!!!” The voice of Glestchner rang out  on the speakers of Mantle awakening the people. 

“Today’s curfew has been moved from twenty hundred hours, to eighteen hundred hours. Early to bed, Early to rise in the New Artorias! We hail to you people of Mantle..and former bloated pigs of Atlas as you leave your homes to work in the mines. Please understand that all aggression towards Artorian soldiers will result in public punishment such as Ten Lashes to the back, Public Execution, or one year in the Gauntlet. Thank you!” A Female voice spoke. 

“God, I seriously hate that guy.. “a shriveled old voice spoke out. Even after all the shit James Pulled it really hit him hard didnt it Robin.” Qrow spoke looking at the leader of the Happy Huntresses. 

“Right and not to mention how he abandoned the resistance as well. Now were fighting a war to claim it back. Only if we had a way..” Robin thought to herself with Qrow looking away sadly being reminded of his failure for letting Clover his first TRUE FRIEND die from the hands of the duo that was Tyrian and Hans... even with their combination it still was not enough. 

“We’ll need to get word out to Ruby and the others... they’ll know what to do but how do we do that in the span of seven hours?” Qrow said opening his eyes glaring at the floating city of Atlas. 

Suddenly a knock was heard at the door with both Hunters grabbing their weapons as the door opened to reveal, Fionna seemingly looking surprised and in awe. “Oh. did I come at a bad time..” she spoke meekly.

“No you didn’t whats up?” Robin asked. 

“Some people wanted to speak to you and they have a plan...” Fionna answered with two figures entering in the first being Oscar and the other the rogue Atlesian Sentient Android:  EXCELSUS. 

“The Hunt has spoken to me...and given me visions of a plan.. This Hunt she has set us out for is FAR FROM OVER.” They spoke looking at the two Hunters.

“I have not...”  Jack said with a memory of Willow smiling flashing in his eyes as he struggled to get up. 

“Come this far...”  

“Come on Dad. you said after this you would buy me my first drink right?!” Blades voice rang in the old strykers ear rising up to his full height looking at the Atlesian soldiers that tried to kill him. 

“TO DIE NOW...”

The Age of Titans..

Location: Grand Council Hall of Remnant, Mistral. 

Time: 12: 00 PM (Just three days after the Titan Incident in Argus)

_______________________

The simple muttering of men and women alike were heard within the hall itself, with every council leader of their respective Kingdoms talking with their advisors. After all such an event like this had to be brought up to question. Ahmad Saladin the “Acting Grand Councilman” of Vacuo spoke with that of Hideyoshi Yume, the leader of the militia known as the Desertwalkers.

 Naoto Tokugawa was a blunt person yet, she fought to get to where she was today and wishes to listen to the pleas of her fellow Mistralians. Speaking with none other General Cordovin albeit giving her calm scolding for ignoring the pleas of a certain Team that had asked for permission into Atlas only to be denied. Now ever since the battle between Exaltia’s and Imperius’ Titans.. her view has much changed.  Karlson Meyer was the Grand Councilman that will be stepping down from his council chair, he was the most beloved in all of Atlas and Even in Mantle amongst the younger generation because of his Pro-Faunus views and ideals saying that: “We must accept history for what it is.. we must do better as we need to accept the facts from our past and progress with us forward.” It is a shame that every time he tried for a Pro-Faunus movement... it was shutdown by the Council. Ironwood was also his advisor as the two were firm friends before and still remained as friends even to this day.  Finally, the Valean council leader being that of Renyold Marshall, sadly his advisor Glynda Goodwitch is still busy with the reclamation of  Beacon Academy. Which he fully understands but he was speaking with a councilmember from Atlas of course.  Finally, the doors opened showing Merlinds walking to her table with two Atelier soldiers leading her there and standing to the side as guards whilst she took her seat. Looking at the Grand Council leaders as they sat down.  “As leader of the Grand Council of Remnant, I hearby bring this meeting to begin and let us discuss of the events of what happened three days ago with the as.. General Cordovin puts it as... a “Titan Incident?” and we have brought you hear today Merlinda Anderson Morgana to explain this...incident.” Karlson spoke which the scientist of Brumel looked up at the councilmembers  taking a deep breath in and out.  “Yes, Grand Council what we have witnessed just three days ago was no ordinary incident indeed. This was not a battle for territory, this was a battle for supremacy.” Merlinda said. “A battle for supremacy? You mean how the people of Argus saw all the other Titans approaching those three Titans?” Naoto said which Merlinda nodded. “Yes, I suppose that Exaltia and her Titans were there to not only protect the people of  Argus but also challenge Imperius as well.” The scientist responded.  “What I do theorize is that when Imperius was defeated, Exaltia already solidified her place as Queen of the Grimm Titans , but she did more than just claim her throne. She made the choice to share her throne with the TItans known as Aelius and Perseus.” 

“Share, Merlinda? Please explain?”Reynold asked. “ “Basically to explain, as like a pack of wolves there is always an Alpha, but when three more wolves attack it and one strikes down the leader claiming its spot as an Alpha. what does it do.. it wishes for its spot to be secure. That is Exaltia’s plan... to make sure that her rule is absolute and monitored carefully.” “I see. however does this mean the threat of other Titans? How much do you think there is, Do they pose a threat, and-”  “Exaltias battle against Imperius was enough to break even the most Malevolent Titans from his control.. but any newer Titans they will be a bit confused at first.. unsure of what happened to the world they once lived in? Now as to answer your question, they do not pose a threat as long as Exaltia rules as their leader, Now I dont know the specific number.. but ever since Exaltia’s alpha call three days ago I do not know.” Merlinda explained.  “What!? So you are saying you dont know the specific number?!” Ahmed said with a hint of shock in his voice.  “Of course, unless we know that there was seventeen TItans that approached Exaltia. My possible estimate was a possibility of the number increasing to that of forty five. “Merlinda said and with that statement everyone gasped in shock with the entire council standing up in fear. “FORTY FIVE TITANS, SINCE THREE DAYS AGO!?” Karlson shouted.  “Yes, Grand Councilman Karlson. Unless if you want a better estimate? These could be the rise of a newer generation of Titans that still remain in their homes and ecosystems. Never to harm humanity.” Merlinda stated with Ironwood standing up. “So you are saying we let them run free?!” He shouted at Merlinda. 

OST: Age of Titans.  “Yes, because.. if we pose a threat to them we will bring more destruction even worse than that of Argus. Do you all really think this world once belonged to us?” Merlinda spoke Switching over to Vacuo where a bird like Titan with the most gorgeous of feathers emerges from its cave looking at the vast deser tlandscape chittering a bit  before taking flight.  “For years I have tried to warn you all about the Titans, but no one heeded my warnings except for my own Kingdom.”  In Vale another Titan with a spiny back and tail like club walked past Taiyangs house with the unfearful dragon himself looking at the creature in awe and shock whilst Zwei barked at the unknown Titan.  “Some of them benefitted for our survival and look what we have done with their gifts. We destroyed them without any mercy whatsoever.When will we come realize that our past from ancient times is returning.”  In Mistral, Aelius picks at one of the floating isles discovering a few unhatched eggs.. some of them unharmed and shuffling around with the Titan releasing a happy chirp, knowing he was not the last of his kind just yet. 

“We must come to terms and say it now..we have entered the Age of Titans...” Merlinda said  In an unknown location Exaltia flew over a mighty forest with Perseus following until stopping getting a good view of the entire city of Argus reeling his head back and releasing a mighty roar warning any other Grimm to not invade the healing Argus, or suffer the consequences.
