BLCK: The Story So Far Final Part

Volume 10-

Three months have passed since Salem and the Artorians have taken Atlas. Yang and Ruby's relationship as sisters have began to grow strained as the two once had small debates which would later turn into entire arguments and then a shouting match following. While back in Atlas, a Resistance Coalition was formed between the exiled Atlesians and Mantleans against the Scions of Salem but is now on their last legs as many are beginning to leave or accepting the new reality they live in

Salem is still seeking out the Relic of Creation, as Jotunheim takes Oscar to the Ancient City of Asgard, his home. With Oscar learning about the city and its people who made a pact with that of the Snow Dragons of the Solitas Region. With Jotunheim as their chief leader./Grand Leader.

After a mission, Ruby and Yang enter another argument to which Ruby says something incredibly insensitive to Yang which causes her to punch Ruby as the two end up fighting, destroying a block in Actus. As they are suspended from any missions and will need to do some labor around the Atelier Base.

An unknown aircraft approaches Brumel but with a different insignia, revealing it to be piloted by Professor Lionheart, who states he has come from his home Artorias, leaving everyone shocked. Which he reveals that his homeland is in a war at the moment and has joined the resistance in order to reclaim that homeland. Revealing its defacto leader. Imani L'verra. Who seeks council and support from the Brumelian Military.

At the same time, Eros gets a message from Qrow who informs him that things have been worsening for the AMRF (Atlesian-Mantlean Resistance Force) as they are on their threads end and seeks vetting for reinforcements to make a stand against the Scions of Salem.

Imani talks with the Brumelian Council, but is denied support until Kazura steps up claiming that this was a common enemy that not only the Artorias Resistance Coalition shares but also the Mantleans and Atlesians as well. Warning the council that if they were to ignore this threat they'll be next and history will remember Brumel as the "Great Nation That Remained Silent" as his father agrees with Kazura and promises to send his forces towards Artorias as he orders Kazura to prepare a strike force to send to Mantle as he will also have the support of the Atelier Agents as well.

The strike force going to Mantle will have Kazura as the leader, Weiss as the co-commander, Nora as the Tank, Lie-Ren and Blake as stealth, Pyrrha as the extra support, and Eros to help train the Atlesians and Mantleans. The team joining the Atelier military going to Atlas will have Louvel as the leader, Ryze as the Co-Leader, Yang as the Tank, Zek and Corona as snipers, Reaver as the Co-Tank, and Twilight as the Chief Medic.

Finally, Ruby shows concern about Oscars location as Penny reveals that he is safe somewhere around the Solitan Mountains, which his emergency transponder shut off somewhere around that area. With Ruby's Relic Recovery Team being Ruby, Blade, Sun, Penny, and Outsider to go and recover the Relic and Oscar at the same time. While Aesir reveals that they are headed to the "City of Man and Dragons" leaving her shocked that something like that was possible.

Everyone goes off on their missions, while back with the Scions of Salem, Cinder is berated and punished by Salem for failing to recover the relic and the Winter Maidens power, all while she further berates her for not doing as she was told while also adding onto that punishment for her failure to kill Lionheart and Raven. Leaving Neo and Raiku (The Scion of Thunder) slightly disturbed if this is what failure looks like.

The Scions receive new orders to deepen their patrol of the city as Salem believes that the resistance formed one month ago is on their final legs and now just needs one good strike to end it all. Yet at the same time, Raiku offers his input of going for the head aka, killing Robyn as she was a seasoned Atlesian soldier It would make more sense for her to be aiming for her rather than just wiping out the whole army. As Salem sends him out to find her and end her.

Upon arrival in Zers'kya, Lionheart and Imani explain the situation as their coalition force is aiming for key spots around Artorias to destroy in order to free it. These spots are Naerea, A key position that holds a base and an ammo depot, Syrnokr, The home base of the Artorian special forces and their elite unit The Dead Sea Scrolls Unit. Lastly is the Arwven Ruins/Road. Where it is believed an ancient power underneath the ruins lies dormant and Artorias Scientific Forces are trying to draw that power to create a new weapon.

Imani also explains that many have answered their plea for help including a PMC who has sent their strike force, revealing Team VAIN, Vance Kikai an Atlesian man whose brain was transferred into a machine, Inari, A Former Dead Sea Scrolls member and Necros a former cult member of the "Cult of Salem." Lastly to Louvels shock it is none other than Adam Tarus as everyone prepares their weapons but he explains that he has changed but Louvel states that he needs to see it in order to believe it.Adam also agrees as he was a former Shinbaori member and apologizes for betraying their ideals for violence and hatred towards humans. In which they receive their objectives and to begin joining the march towards Naerea through the Northern front.

With Kazuras strike force, they are shocked to see the state of Mantle as it is incredibly overpopulated and filled with multiple amounts of sickness, as they are led to the headquarters by Excelsus an android mercenary for hire who cared about nothing but the Hunt. Claiming that hunting the Scions of Salem was a better thing than having to wait for a hunt. Which results in a brief reunion as they are given their orders for a mission as they need to first claim an ammo depot/base just outside of Mantle. Finally, they reveal that Harriet of the Ace Ops also explains that her friends and General Ironwood is also in the Bulkhead Prison. Meant for high-class criminals.... and sadly she fears that Ironwood may be dead to which Winter remains adamant that he is not dead.

Rubys group travels across the Solitan mountains to the Bridge leading to Asgard as they encounter a Grimm Chimera only for it to be dispatched by the Asgardian Fighting force the Dragoons of Sigrun and Mimir. As Oscar is shocked to see them with everybody joining him as he talks about the recent Grimm attacks have been increasing by the minute, as he fears its only a matter of time before Salem senses the relic herself as their relic recovery mission turns into a defense mission.

Salem after a few hours of mediation would sense the Relic giving everyone their orders, with Raiku's remaining the same, Hazel, Emerald, and Mercury to patrol the streets, and for Watts to hack into Atlas' systems in order to locate Brumel. In which Hazel, Emerald, and Mercury all talk about their dreams once Salem completes her main mission and frees them from their servitude. Emerald just wants all the riches in the world since she grew up poor in Vacuo and tried to follow the "Make Something From Nothing" rule only for it to not work out, Mercury seeks to have his semblance returned as his father had locked it away, Hazel only wishes to have his sister back only to question if it means taking so many lives.

Tyrian would overhear the conversation and remind everyone that their dreams are pointless and weak, all should bend to her will which only furthers their bravery to defect from the Scions of Salem. Yet,before a fight could break out Cinder and Salem arrive this time with a new member a "experiment" as she reveals the Hound. Who begins his hunt to find Ruby Rose and Oscar.

The strike force in Artorias leads an attack on Naereas base and claims it without a second thought as Yang realizes that her sister would have been exposed to the horrors of war after seeing so many homes destroyed, thinking about how even she is in the middle of one but is doing her best to try and help. To which Adam sympathizes with her... as he was unaware of what he did when he fought with the White Fang, which Yang asks him what made him begin to see things differently. His answer? Because when he was wounded by Louvel and the wound was only getting worse over time he passed out near a village where humans nursed him back to health.

Yang is happy to see that Adam had changed and he even agrees that this whole time he was blinded by the hatred of the humans who had branded his eye and forgot that there are good humans who do care about the faunus rights movement and try to be better for them. Yet he now understands fully about the humans and wants to do better and fight to not only redeem himself but do it for others as well.

Kazuras strike team claims the ammo depot and manages to reinvigorate the fires of the AMRF but its only an ember of what it was, as they go to rescue to Ironwood, and when doing so they are chased by the Artorian ships as they go underground Only to discover a lost kingdom. As Finally, they are met by Baphomet the God of Darkness as they attempt to attack him but only for him to merely dodge and even stop all of their attacks. As he tells them that him and his brother Solis are just observing.

Baphomet tells them that ever since he destroyed Remnant he and his brother regretted abandoning the home they made together, as they returned with the goal of doing one thing. To Walk Amongst Man. Thus they would only intercept if they saw something great happening and so far they have. Kazura asks Baphomet about the city here as he reveals it to be the lost kingdom of Alsius.

Baphomet talks about the Kingdom being home to the Knights Of Solitas and explains their Platinum Era, Gold Era, Silver Era, Bronze Era, Iron Era, and Obsidian Era as they travel through the city to return to Mantle. Only to be intercepted by Raiku and Hazel to which Weiss and Kazura make quick work without any difficulty as their weapons begin to glow piquing Baphomets interest calling them the two that may unify the Solitas Region as he opens a portal to the AMRF's HQ.

With Ruby's Group, Ruby is slowly becoming more enraged in her fighting style as it becomes more like a feral animals rather than her usual pop and grace style. Which worries the rest of her group as they feel she is trying to prove Yang wrong. In which Ruby simply states the obvious to abandon Asgard shocking everyone including Aesir as this was NOT how Ruby would normally act.

Ruby states about how she is growing tired of defending the city and should just steal the relic and leave. Instead everyone is willing to go against her. To which she states then she'll just go and beat Jotunheim to the point where he'll give her the Relic as she attempts to fight the Titan as she finally breaks down during their fight as she states how Salem killed her mother to which Aesir and Jotunheim tell her that was not the truth but a manipulation tactic.

Aesir and Jotunheim tell Ruby about the truth of Summer Rose, she was a proud Huntress who recruited not only Hunters but managed to impress both Grimm Titans enough to join her cause. She knew full well that she would need to push her Silver Eyes to the very limit to not only wound Salem but Imperius as well as upon doing so she would die. In her final moments her minds eye opened seeing a future where Yang and Ruby was happy with Taiyang, Raven and Qrow finally getting along, Ozpins duty finally being completed and earning his eternal rest.

The revelation moves Ruby to remember why she became a Huntress and it was not to defeat Salem to protect everyone including those who wish to see a brighter future for all. Thus revealing the key to Salems defeat as Masamune was the foundation, Summer was the building process, and Ruby is to be the end of Salem. Which she states she is prepared to now Save Atlas with Aesir releasing the seal on Ruby's Silver Eyes and further empowering it. With both Titans releasing a loud roar summoning their forces to come to their aid as they have called for Exaltia to send her emissary Cashmere. As they have decided to join the fight along with doing one thing bringing the Relic of Creation with them.

With Louvels team they reach the ruins when they discover this belongs to the first Summer Maiden who founded the nation and had a prophecy that the blood of an evil man will be used to revive the Kingdom in its direst time with the Sword Of Summers. In which it has been taken as Glestchner prepares to use it to power a Bionic Version of Perseus with the Grimm Titan sensing it as they begin the march to the main capital of Artorias.

Upon arriving in the Capital City the Perseus discovers the Bionic Perseus as the two fight with the ARC forces on the ground swarming the city fighting against the enemy forces occupying it while Imani is brought forth to fight as well. As Perseus struggles with the machine variant of himself its only until the Brumelian forces bring forth Ace in the Liberation where the odds are evened out as Glestchner is overpowered and defeated, as he attempts to to try and take Imani's life only to be stabbed by the Sword of Summers.

With his blood, the once destroyed land of Artorias was brought back to life as those witnessing this dropped their weapons realizing what they have done. Nearly destroying themselves and their kingdom in the process. As finally a HUGE part of the Dictatorship of Artorias has fallen in which Lionheart is prepared to use this opportunity to send the ARC forces to Atlas as Yang calls Ruby to apologize to her about everything as Ruby does the same.

Back with Kazuras strike force they now make the move to reclaim Mantle as they do and now escape to Watchpoint Delta in between the halfway point to Brumel as everyone regroups there. With the plan being simple as Rodrigues authorizes usage of Brumels full might against Salem which shocks the Champion of Darkness as Baphomet mocks her stating to never underestimates mans might when underneath the heel of darkness. As she attempts to attack him only for him to fade away and reappear continuously mocking her.

Salem then mobilizes her forces with the exception of the Seats of Vanity as she will need them for later. As The Guardians of the Light attacks Atlas, with Kazura and Weiss facing off against her and their weapons awakening as Caliburn becomes Excalibur and Myrtenaster becoming Myrtenaster-Alvitr. As they fight against Salem she sends to the Forbidden Realm to die from a MASSIVE amount of Darkness, but Baphomet finally intervenes and restores them to full health as they continue to fight weakening Salem, As Cashmere unleashes his magic as he claims her immortality in order for the Prophecy he had forseen to come true.

Salem retreats out of fear but warns them that Imperius is already healed...and is coming to Atlas as she prepares for her next move. With no time to waste evacuations ar e underway as people either go to Asgard or Brumel. Thus Imperius attacks forcing The Guardians of Light to use the Relic of Creation where Cinder ambushes them as they fight with everything they have left as she blows BLCK and RWBY down to the "void" While Ironwood fights a powered up version of Imperius as he sacrifices his life to save millions.

Cinder does manage to wound Penny as she claims both Relics but in a last ditch effort Winter takes the relic and remembers what Kazura told her about the last question. To ask WHO can defeat Salem as she does so and smiles saying its not just one. It's two people. As she and SPNL retreat to Brumel closing the portals as Cinder escapes with the last question wasted as Salem finds out....... but despite being enraged a thorn is removed and finally offers Cinder a seat amongst her Seats of Vanity.

VOLUME 11-

BLCK AND RWBY all land in the Ever After which is basically the Land of The Dead as they go through its trials of Reincarnation as they all realize they are on a Time Limit as the Ever-After will slowly force their souls to remain here unless if they do not escape as they go along they will face the Ascendance, which is their awakening to newer abilities they gain.

They encounter Shaka Ishvalda and the Curious Cat who leads them to the tree of Yggdrasil while also fighting against old enemies and fighting with old friends as well. This leads to the newest threat the Red Queen and her court as she tries to prevent them from achieving the Ascendance by any means necessary. Upon reaching the tree thye have their final battle as Ruby and Blade stay behind to help Ishvalda against The Red Queen as Ruby finally meets her mother for the first time.

The God of Light Solis was moved by their sacrifice and restored both Blades and Ruby Souls to return to Remnant. As BLCK and RWBY arrive in Vacuo prepared for their next bout with the Scions of Salem.

Spider’s Song

My name is Araignee.

The name means Spider in the tongue once spoken in the depths of the Shroud, far below the trees and out of sight in the caverns looping beneath the greenery. Down there, spiders are a common friend and sometimes enemy. Their venom is something to be revered even while we collected it and used it. We harvested their webs, spun the sticky fibres into spidersilk, but this technique has fallen into antiquity. I still gather the webs when I’m in the Beneath, but to me they have other value, healing values. Needless to say, spiders have always been important to me.

When I was sleeping, I dreamt of spiders. I dreamt of them unweaving me like I was some tapestry they had spun themselves to begin with. Mayhap I was. My flesh unraveled under their delicate pedipalps, rolled off and cast aside until all that remained were bone and sinew, muscle and blood vessels. A heart that beat slowly and with the rhythm of the near dead echoed from the stones around us. Still they worked, and I dreamed. Spinnerets spun me skin anew. Their voices chimed around me, foreign and yet I fancied I could understand their whisperings.

“Truth. Truth. No more lies. Truth. Spin them. Bind them.”

I awoke on a stone floor. The location differed from where I remember falling. There were no ruins here, no fallen cavern ceiling, no portals with a lunatic raving of armies nearby. Just me, garbed in flowing black silk and undone hair. I could scarce breathe through the rawness in my throat, the pain in my lungs. When had I last drawn a breath? How far had I walked while I slept?

A man swept me up off the floor. His manner was kind enough even if he wasn’t one to talk. He helped me, took care of me until I was well enough to want to leave. I remembered where I wanted to go back to, the people I had forgotten while sleeping. He seemed to know them, took me back, and left me.

The spiders followed, from his place to Priarch. Home and yet much had changed in the moons I had been gone. They were wary of me even if they tried not to be, Louvel, my brothers, the people I once worked with. I chose to stay in my sanctum and eventually, I ceased leaving it.

Truth. Truth had taken over my every waking moment. Edarien came to visit. I denied all others, even Louvel, at least physically. We still spoke, but not in person anymore. I needed time. And the spiders were right. I needed truth.

My death taught me something. I needed to peel off the skin I wore and weave myself into how I saw me. I have danced all my life to the various tunes of what I should be.

I should be a daughter. To parents that weren’t alive to see me grow up.

I should be a sister. To brothers that loved me and raised me like them. In caverns, in the dust and debris of the city we still called home even though the rest of the world wished we’d forget. They called us thieves and liars, and nothing was further from the truth. We called ourselves scholars and preservationists.

I should be a woman. And here is where I struggled.

The sun and moon passed through seasons and their phases for decades of my life, and this concept never sat well inside me. I went through the motions expected of me and did my best to fit the roles of my gender society set out for me. Pleasing, pleasant, nurturing. I was terrible at it. I wore dresses to con people. To convince lecherous men to ideals they were never going to get from me, just to sign a contract and make my family some more money. I made us a lot of money from my lies.

I was never comfortable in the skin I lived in.

This is the truth the spiders wanted me to understand. I see myself now, and I won’t live those lies anymore. I’ve died and somehow come back. I’ve slept for moons while the world moved on without me. I have tools at hand to unravel the flesh I was born with, to weave myself anew.

I am a son.

A brother.

I am Spider.

“You lost your old man”

Sam Drake x Reader.

Tags: swearing.

Words: 2260

A/N: wanted to try something different, actiony and with humour, so it’s kind of slow burn enemies to lovers, will have few parts. Hope you like it :)

Sam enters Nathan's house just after his sister in law, who's nursing the biggest pregnancy belly he'd seen in ages. He's amused himself quite a few times when he sees her waddle around in the house, and he hopes he gets to see his little niece before he's off again on another trip. He's been in town for a few days, crashing in the spare bedroom Nathan always has ready for him, and tonight they'd enjoyed a little shopping spree to welcome their girl.

Sam watches Nathan hold Elena's hand and holds her by the waist as he helps her walk up the set of stairs on their way to bed. He heads to the back of the house towards their kitchen to have a smoke on the back patio and maybe a sip of Scotch before he heads to bed as well.

He walks to the cabinets, opening a few of them and expecting for both the bottle and the glasses to be set together, like they always are. He pulls a frown when he only finds the glass, and he doesn't need to get on his tiptoes to look for the bottle, it just isn't there.

He opens another cabinet, noting that the bottle couldn't be with all the produce. He knows Nathan is quite nervous about becoming a dad, but he certainly couldn't have drank the whole bottle to calm his nerves, it was three quarters full back in his last visit.

"Hey Nathan" he yells loudly enough for his brother to hear him from upstairs "where ya hiding the Hooch?" He asks as he keeps looking.

"It's right here"

Sam buckles his arms against his chest, startled, but it only takes a second for him to fish the gun out of his back holster and turn around on his heels, pointing at where the sudden voice had come from.

A woman looks back at him with a mocking grin on her face, she holds one of the glasses near her lips, before she takes a sip of the brown liquid she quips "rookie mistake, not checking your corners"

"Who the hell are you?!" He grunts.

She sits at the kitchen table, her legs are propped up on top of it as she leans back on the chair, the whiskey bottle is set in front of her, and just now he notices that there was a lamp casting a warm hue over the room, one that he was sure had been turned off just before they left.

She doesn't respond, too amused and busy looking at Sam's angry eyes on her. He gets angrier when he doesn't get a response within the first two seconds, so he walks to her with big strides and pushes the cold end of the gun to her cheekbone.

"Not gonna ask again, who the fuck are you" he grunts again with emphasis.

"You should call-"

"Who are you and what do you want" he asks, pushing the gun more to her skin.

"Sam what's-" Nathan walks in the kitchen, surprised at the sight of his brother's furious watching eyes over your figure on the chair "whoa, Sam, put the gun down" he lifts his hands trying to catch Sam's attention and calm him down.

"Who is she?" He asks lowly.

You were calm about the whole thing, patiently waiting for the tall one to remove the gun that could very well set off and kill you. People usually had a look on their eyes when they had a gun in their hands, and his didn't look like he was intending to shoot. Your eyes move from one man to the other, letting out a smug smile as you watch Nathan's slightly worried face.

"So sad that there's never an easy answer to that question"

"Sam put the gun down" Nathan repeats.

"Yeah Sam" you repeat, your eyes changing characters again and squinting a bit condescendingly as you talk "put the gun down".

Sam pushes the gun against your cheek roughly before he pulls it away. You clear your throat pretending that that hadn't actually hurt, then lead the glass again to your lips.

"What are you doing here?" Nate asks, walking closer to the table. Your eyes are still trained on Sam's figure, his hand is still clutching the gun, and he's taken the bottle with him, intending to pour some on the glass that sits behind him on the kitchen counter.

"I've got something you might be interested in" you sneak your hand in your jacket pocket and pull out a phone.

"I don't know if you know-" he begins, you quickly search through your phone as he talks "but I'm out of the game, and I can't leave anywhere right now Elena's-" he stops when you turn your phone to him. He takes it to inspect better a video that's playing on it.

His shoulders quickly square up when he sees Sully's figure being roughly dragged out of the back of a Jeep. Sam joins him when he sees his brother tense, feeling his own body tighten by the sight of his friend being held hostage.

"When was this?" Nate asks in a little worried voice.

"Yesterday, one of my contacts in Ghana sent it to me, saying you'd maybe lost your old man. People should start clarifying now aren't they?"

"Fuck you" Sam spats, making you giggle at your own joke and down the glass, setting it on the table and pulling your legs off of it.

"Relax would you, I was joking"

You walk around the table to stand next to Nate, quickly pointing at the screen.

"You do know who those are right?"

"Yeah, that guy is Louvell, and those must be his goons" he replies, swirling his finger on the screen.

"Heard that Sullivan was going around Ivory Coast doing God knows what, they got to him and hauled his as to Ghana."

"Crap" Nathan sighs and hands you the phone back.

"We have to go get him" Sam exclaims.

"I can't leave anywhere" Nate laments, turning to face Sam. You turn on your heels and walk a little to the side, leaving both the men to deliberate. You wonder what was the issue with Elena, because Nate had tried to tell you something about her but you'd interrupted, and now listening to the conversation that was heated but still hushed, your interest was peaked.

At some point Sam spats "I'm now going with her" making you pull a grin and walk to stand behind Nate and look at Sam with amusement.

"She's got the contacts, the resources"

"I already came here to help" you chimed in with a shrug of your shoulder.

"I'm sorry-" Sam moved a step to the side to stop facing Nate and talk to you "but you don't inspire me with trust"

"Says the one who pulls guns on people" you reply with a surprised pull of your eyebrows.

"You're sitting in the dark waiting for someone to show up and I'm the bad guy for pulling a gun on you?"

"You would have seen me if you'd checked your corners" you dismiss, knowing that the comment was going to make him upset. The result is the intended, Sam quickly walks around Nathan towards you, but Nate stops him halfway and pulls him by the arm.

"Would you two quit it?" Nate hurries in a hushed tone.

"Yes" you give Sam a scolding look, probably making his blood boil just a bit more. "Sully doesn't have much time. Now, I'm here, and we can leave for Africa tonight"

"I'm going to get Sullivan, but not with you" Sam pokes your shoulder roughly, making you clench your jaw.

"You're never doing that again if you want to keep your hand" you threaten in a low voice.

"What's happening down here?" You turn around, intending to greet Elena like nothing had happened, but you instantly gasp and pull you eyebrows into a big surprised gesture.

"Yikes" you exclaim "I mean, hi Elena" you say, closing your eyes, knowing that she wasn't going to appreciate much your reaction to her pregnant state "I'm sorry, congratulations?" You try to fix with a smile.

"Hi (Name)" she replies a little weirded out. "What are you doing here?"

"In town, thought I would come and say hi, maybe help you get your old man back. I don't mean your dad, or him" you point at your back, knowing that Sam is still behind you "but Sully"

You hear Sam chuckle in disbelief, and by the time you turn around with a mocking grin, he's back at the counter, pouring some more alcohol on his glass.

Nathan recaps a bit to Elena, who's moved to sit down at the table, you've followed and sat down at the table again with your arms crossed.

Now you've realized that Nathan is really not going anywhere, not even for Sullivan. Just one glance at Sam's direction makes you smirk, noticing that he's pulled his eyes from you the second that you looked at his direction.

"I'm going" Sam said, tunning into the conversation that Elena and Nate were having "and I agree that her coming is a good idea but I hate her already"

You smirk, letting out a chuckle.

"Sadly I didn't come here to like you" you stand up and fix your jacket "we can totally team up on this one. It would be stupid for either of us to go alone. And I have nothing better to do so I desperate want to go" you stress.

Nathan's eyes land on Sam, looking for his final approval.

Sam shruggs his shoulder, but his thinned lips and clenched jar doesn't depict the same nonchalant gesture.

"Sure" he says lowly, then leans off of the counter and begins to walk "I'll pack a bag quickly"

You nod, walking behind him just as he passes your side.

"(Name)" Nathan calls, walking with you towards the front door "don't drive Sam crazy please"

"Me?" You place your hand on your chest, pulling your eyebrows in a fake offended gesture "I could never"

You open the front door, leaning on the side of it as you wait for Sam to return.

"Who is he anyway? A new friend?" You ask, searching in Nathan's eyes. He looks down at his hands, then flicks one dismissingly.

"He's my brother"

You tilt your head back, a little smile peaking from your lips. Sam's footsteps thunder down the stairs just as you're about to say something, but you bite your tongue, giving him a quick glance.

"I see" you shrink to the side to let Sam's wide frame walk past your smaller one out the door "we can talk about it when we come back maybe"

You lift your hand to pat Nate's arm.

"Don't worry, I wouldn't let Sully die, we all know he's the only one out of the lot I truly like" you joke, then lean off of the door and look behind Nate "bye Elena!" You yell.

"Be careful!" She yells back, making you smile at the little motherly gesture she had with you.

You give Nathan one last glance of goodbye, then walk down the path, fishing your car keys out of your pocket and pressing a button.

"We going to the airport?" Sam asks, a duffle bag hangs from his shoulders as lazily as a cigarette from his lips. He sees a pair of headlights turn on a few feet away, a car pulls out and drives down, parking in front of you.

You walk around it to the driver's side, motioning at Sam to open the door.

He's very surprised when he sees that the car's empty on the inside, the driver's seat being quickly occupied by you.

"Yes, I've got a friend who's going to Africa, he can drop us off"

Sam tosses the bag on the back seat and climbs in, closing the door after he's settled.

After a few minutes of driving, you see his hand out of the corner of your eyes, then take them off the road to look at him press on the screen of the car.

You cross your arms at your chest after flicking a side handle to activate autopilot. He continues pressing buttons, and the car does all sorts of things like suddenly picking up the AC and make the fans perk up in volume, or turning on the seat massagers, making him let out a little gasp in surprise.

You are startled when the seat begins to move back a little, and he smiles throwing his own seat back, but doesn't stop fiddling with the screen and the options.

He chuckled when he saw an option called "Car-aoke", then startled himself when the windshield whippers turned on and began to scratch against the dry windshields.

"Are you fucking done?!" You say swatting his hands away and turning everything back to it's place, including your own seat.

"You're supposed to be driving" he says pointing at the steering wheel.

"You're reclining my seat back"

"I was trying to recline my own, this is a car for midgets"

"Oh my God" you sigh, holding the wheel and shaking your head.

"And I liked the seat massagers, turn those back on"

You press the option and make him smile, he leans back and links in his hands on his stomach.

"You're a nightmare" you say, tightening your hands on the wheel.

"Your worst one yet"

"Two can play this game"

"Bring it"

Overgrown in Defiance

(Cw: Discussion of death)

It had rained in the day, mere hours before Okiku’s murder.

Okuni could remember every sight, every smell, every sound that evening thanks to the cold wash of that rain, grey clouds smudged across the sky like charcoal on paper. She could remember the damp scent of earth, the perfume of wetted stone. Both so similar to the other, yet varied as the fish in the ocean. She could remember how much louder the waves sounded, the clarity of the river’s roar, and the squelch of sodden leaf-matter underfoot as she stole away to her favorite spot.

The grove seemed so much greener that night, the glow of the fireflies dazzlingly bright and creating tiny glimmering jewels in the air. It was so intoxicatingly beautiful. A mercifully sweet, misleading prelude to the world-shattering commotion when she returned home.

She’d never forget the appearance of her sister’s corpse. She was hours too late in returning home, hours too late to see that the murderer had already been caught and strung up and bled over the water before having his bonds cut to cast him to the sea creatures he’d enticed. She was hours too late to help with the funeral ritual, so Okiku was already wrapped in her shrouds with sea flowers tucked into the folds.

She stared for so long at those flowers, fixated on the beauty the villagers had insisted on giving to death. So long, in fact, that she’d gone deaf to her mother’s screams and accusations, numb to her stinging palms and the pinching grip on her arms. She stared long enough that her tears were what eventually, mercifully blinded her to her sister’s dead body.

She’d duplicated that effect recently, after Louvel had died and come back; that concept of beauty given to death. It had helped then, but staring at the materials spaced out before her in the present, she knew it wouldn’t work again.

Death was far too present now, not such a simple thing to gloss over, to forget, to move on from. It held its hands around so many throats; Ghost’s, Lyrin’a’s, her own... There were those still reeling from death, still processing their losses; Edarien, Louvel, Idristan. The rest of them waited on death, too, patiently dreading its arrival.

No, giving beauty to it would not help this time.

A handful of black grasses and black branches found their way into the vase first. Okuni’s deft hands pulled and twisted them to cascade over the edge like ink overflowing a vial. Tiny blue flowers dotted the dark foliage here and there, little dewdrops on a burnt hillside, rain to follow an inferno.

Then she finished the vase, stuffed the rest of the space with sunflowers. One would not be enough. She needed to drown out the black foliage, cover it with the sunny warmth of yellow.

Thick stems twisted and bent between her fingers as she wove them into clusters of sunshine. The finished arrangement seemed almost chaotic, certainly not her best work, but perhaps her most satisfying. She would not give beauty to death. She would let it consume that force instead.

She would let it sprout and twist until it became overgrown in defiance.

Grimmhilda’s lovely Troupe consisting of Malafine, Théonile, Carmine, Louvel, Myo, and of course the Grimmkin and Grimmsteed.

Malafine

She’s a Violin Beetle. She works as a blacksmith and singer for the Troupe.

She’s 23, a woman, and a lesbian.

She’s caring, bashful, dainty, hardworking, and prone to jealousy.

She’s Grimmhilda’s first Troupe and closest friend. She has a huge crush on Grimmhilda, to the point where she almost destroyed her Mistress’ relationship due to her jealousy. She ended up apologizing and fixing her relationship with both Grimmhilda and her girlfriend (now wife), Mig.

She does her best to support her Mistress even though they can’t be in a relationship.

Théonile

She’s a Mole Cricket. She works as a musician and a miner for the Troupe.

She’s 25, a non-binary woman, and a lesbian.

She’s generally soft-spoken and gentle, but is surprisingly a good fighter. She’s also somewhat blunt, but not unkind.

Grimmhilda saved her from an early grave so she’s indebted to her. Hilda also brought her precious double bass to her so she's even more indebted to her. She loves both mining and playing music, so the Troupe life was good to her.

Carmine

She's a Red Dragonfly. She works as a blacksmith and lighting manager for the Troupe.

She’s 21, a woman, and asexual.

She's a cheerful and caring gal. She's a bit of an airhead, but she always works hard and is good at what she does. Pure of heart, but dumb of ass.

Grimmhilda saved her from being beaten up any further and nursed her back to health. Being naive and loyal, she joins the Troupe. She wasn't leaving behind much so it wasn't a big deal to her.

Louvel

He’s a Rhinoceros Beetle. He works as a knight, a cook, and a singer for the Troupe.

He’s 24, a man, and asexual.

He is polite, chivalrous, helpful, and at times excessively formal. His motto is to protect those most vulnerable and always do the right thing.

Initially he was trying to kill Grimmhilda (emphasis on trying), but after finding out it was the townsfolk terrorizing her and not vice versa, he decided to keep people away. He eventually joined the Troupe, becoming the first and only male member of Hilda's troupe.

He likes cooking for the Troupe, despite that not being his calling. He always wanted to be a knight and with Hilda's training he's become a formidable knight.

He is very small for a rhinoceros beetle as he was born a runt. His parents tried to convince him to be a chef instead due to his small stature and he played along. When he left home, he lied saying he was going to study more foods and recipes when in reality he went on to be a knight like the rest of his family.

Myo

She’s a Ghost Ant.

She’s 7 and a girl.

She’s shy, skittish, kind, and a hard worker.

She was an orphan until Grimmhilda and her Troupe took her in. She was named by Grimmhilda after the scientific name forget-me-nots. It’s a reminder that she wouldn’t be forgotten.

When she gets a bit older, she learns to play the theremin.

She sometimes calls Grimmhilda “mom” by accident. Hilda doesn’t mind as she tends to mother her, but Myo gets very embarrassed. The rest of the Troupe treat her as a younger sister.

Grimmkin

Grimmhilda has many Grimmkin, scouring Bridgebel Kingdom for flames.

You can they’re hers by the beads at their neck, the masks that look like hers, and their pointy devil like horns

Grimmsteed

She has a single, average-sized Grimmsteed.

When she travels, she tends to pack light, so there isn’t too much strain on it.

Prompt #9- Hesitate

Fingers grip the quill that lay still on the page, what was she supposed to say to him? ‘oh by the by, the balance in my aether has become unstable in this place that you are unable to get to at the moment and I am slowly becoming a monster.’? No. That would worry him too much. But she had to say something.

She takes a deep breath, shaking herself out of her stupor and seeing the ink has dripped off the quill and left a mark on the parchment. She sighs as crumples it up and tosses it, grabbing a new one to write again-

Dearest Brother, I know it has been some time since I hath written something to you, but I wanted to let you know that I am doing relatively well. Though the consumption of the lightwarden has left me in a state of sickness that I cannot undo, Ryne has done her best to stabilize me for the time being. I wanted to thank you for your recent care package, the hot chocolate and candles were very heart warming to me.

She stops, rereading her letter so far before continuing-

I will admit, I miss you dearly, long has it been since I have seen your face or heard your voice, but I promise I’ll be home as soon as this is over and I can come safely. I miss home very much so, but I can’t worry about that for now.

With love, your sister, Nemisae

44 for Nick and Allie?

March 23rd, 2040. Evening. Route 211, Sinnoh.

The Sinnoh air felt sharper than usual, and with night quickly approaching Nick knew that it would only get colder. Though, he was sure that the chill of Mount Coronet wouldn’t bother him once the adrenaline from what they were about to do really kicked into gear.

“I guess this is it, then…” Skye announced to the group, snapping Nick out of his thoughts and bringing him back to reality. He focused his gaze onto her as she flicked her eyes around their circle of friends. “Everyone, do your best,” she encouraged, flashing them all a small smile and pushing her fist into the center of the circle. “We’ve got this.”

Nick and Emilie exchanged glances with each other, cracking confident smiles of their own as they pushed their fists into the circle, too. The other members of the group were soon to follow the motion.

“Good luck, guys. Let’s give them hell,” Skye said, pulling her fist away. As the circle began to disperse, she mounted herself onto the Braviary standing behind her, giving him a swift pat on the neck. “Braviary, let’s go.”

Braviary let out a powerful cry before flapping his wings and leaping into the air. Nick watched as several other members of their group began to do the same--some riding off on their own Pokemon while others hitched a ride if they didn’t have one big enough to carry them. He gripped at the handles of his bike. This was really happening.

“Nick, come on!” Louvel called from a distance, already sitting on the back of his Gogoat with Emilie in tow.

“Yeah, be right there,” Nick responded, turning to look at the Tiny Raccoon Pokemon sitting on his shoulder. “Okay, Zigzagoon… you ready?”

Zigzagoon grabbed at the goggles on his forehead, pulling them down to cover his eyes. “Zi!”

“Hey.”

Nick paused, the voice catching him off-guard. When he turned around to see that his sister was the one standing there, he raised his brows. “Oh. Hey.”

Allie shifted, crossing her arms in front of her chest as she looked her brother up and down. “You got everything you need?”

Nick exchanged glances with Zigzagoon before cracking a smile. “Yeah,” he assured, adjusting the straps of his backpack. “Bike’s ready and Splash Plate’s secured. Team Rocket doesn’t stand a chance against Zigzagoon and I.”

Zigzagoon saluted. “Zigzagoon!”

“Right…” Allie said, a small smile gracing her lips. There was a beat of silence, followed by Allie saying, “Mom’s probably gonna have our heads when we get home.”

“Yeah,” Nick snickered, scratching at his nose. “And Dad’s gonna chew our ears off for the next two months.”

“Try two years,” Allie corrected, and the two laughed quietly. But once the laughter died, Allie’s smile faded into a frown. “Listen, Nick…” she started, looking him in the eye, “be careful, okay?”

The look that Allie was giving him was more serious than he was used to seeing from her. It was something he couldn’t quite describe, but for some reason it left him with a sinking feeling in his stomach.

Quickly shaking it off, he flashed her a grin, pulling his goggles over his eyes. “Hey, you know I always am!”

The next thing he knew, Allie was lunging forward, wrapping her arms around him in a tight embrace. “I’m serious…” she huffed, squeezing him tighter. “If you die, I’m gonna kill you.”

For a moment, Nick wasn’t sure how to respond. He felt tense at the implication of Allie’s words, but he couldn’t let her see that. He eased up just the slightest. “I’ll be okay. Promise,” he assured, returning her embrace. “Plus, I don’t wanna become a zombie just to have you kill me again.”

Allie laughed lightly, pulling away from her brother. “Well, let’s hope it doesn’t come to that, then.”

Nick nodded, offering her a smile. “...You be safe too, Allie.”

Allie inhaled. “I will.”

Send us a number and 2 or more characters!

BLCK The Story So Far.... Part 2

Volume 6-

Despite a Major victory over the Scions of Salem, a reunited Team BLCK and RWBY needed time to rest especially after a hard fought battle. In which Louvel would enter a two-week coma due to how much stress he placed on his body. Which within his coma he would encounter an inherited memory from his past of an ancestor talking with someone about a "Scion of Darkness" that the Silver Order must destroy.

Thus after he wakes up and is nursed back to health thanks to the efforts of Professor Lionheart and Yang, he checks the condition of his weapon which is chipped and nearly about to break. To which Louvel explains to everyone that he needs his weapon repaired by a professional Shinbaori swordsmith who can repair his weapon. With everyone questioning where they can find a blacksmith. His answer? The ancient home of the Shinbaori. As it is his mission to have it be repaired as soon as possible so he can return to the battle.

However, on the other hand Professor Lionheart and Qrow informs everyone about the criminal underground entering a war to control it has started to spill out onto the streets. The four gangs that are in combat are the Poppies, The Spiders, The Order of Nobunaga, and the Wraith Clan. Corona who is aware of these gangs steps up claiming that this feels like a homecoming for her and that its time for her to deal with the Spiders once and for all. With everyone being conflicted Louvel suggests that everyone splits into groups, one group will come with him to the Shinbaori village the other will help support Corona.

Louvel's group consisting of Sun, Illia, Lie Ren, Yang, Blade, Raven, and Ruby. While Corona's consists of Nora, Weiss, Pyrrah, Blake, Kazura, Qrow, and Outsider.

Professor Lionheart also reveals that soon he will be entering exile despite the pleas from his assistant and the Mistralian Council, to which he hands Louvel the map to the ancient Shinbaori village, and for Corona an ancient Mistralian arrow to come in handy if she needs it when the time is right.

As everyone heads off onto their missions, the Scions of Salem are punished for their failure by Salem and her newest Seat of Vanity. As Emerald and Mercury believe their "friend" Cinder is dead. Which they have a chat with Hazel about their beliefs and such. Which Hazel tries to remind himself about his mission to "Kill Ozpin" after what happened to his sister, however, he is now conflicted about it due to Ozpins consciousness being transferred into a child. Yet, before they can continue the conversation thew new Seat of Vanity informs them of their new mission to intercept the group heading to the Shinbaori Village.

Back with Louvel's group they are traveling through the Omoikane Forest, they pass through many puzzles meant to ward away any bandits or entire towns from coming across the Shinbaori. Once through the "Path of the Wolves Riddles" they encounter Kintaro who immediately clashes with the group, attempting to ward them away only when Louvel uses a a new Wolf Art. Ninth Art: Howling Moonstrike. It is enough for Kintaro to stop fighting as the rest of the Shinbaori warriors including Louvel's caretaker Kannon. They are all shocked to see someone had made it but also someone who knows the Wolf arts, which the group is brought to their master.

Back in Mistral, Corona's Group begins their investigation into the Criminal Underground of Mistral discovering that the Poppies have already been defeated as they are captured by the Order of Nobunaga who has never seen Hunters in the underground before due to their reluctance, but explains how the war began from their Chief Leader. As before the Underground had rules in place. They allowed all sorts of people, Mercenaries, Criminals, Gangs, or even the downtrodden in. Yet, they all had to follow the rules by the top leader The Krakens. However, after the Krakens were unknowingly destroyed by an unseen force, War began to break out and The Order of Nobunaga seeks to reclaim that top status, which they promise protection and to clean up the mess left behind by their war. In which Corona agrees to help them.

Back with Louvel's group they encounter the Grand Master of the Neo-Shinbaori, Masamune Shinba, in which he is shocked to see his descendant and was never made aware that his bloodline found a way to survive and thrive with the wolf arts. Which he wonders why he has come all this way. Louvel would explain that his sword needs repairs as he shows him his damaged weapon, as Masamune is further left in awe that this was once his sword when he was younger. Now seeing it manage to make it to this era despite the damage from his battle with Cinder makes him more overjoyed... as he gives out an official order for his allies to be trained by each member of the Neo-Shinbaori.

With Corona's group they encounter their first battle with the Wraith Clan and their leader, which Blake and Corona disposes of them and discovers a terrifying secret. The Spiders has plans to kill the Mistralian Council, in which Corona tells to the Order of the Nobunaga clan as they prepare to face off against the Spiders.

Back with Louvels group, they are trained by each member of the Neo-Shinbaori as Louvel meets the swordsmith repairing his sword Kai, a fox faunus, who was once a Shinbaori Warrior but retired after suffering a wound. In which he hands over his newly repaired Katana however, before he could he tells Louvel to meet with Masamune along with Ruby. in which the warrior reveals that he was once a Silver-Eyed Warrior and nearly slain Salem which shocks Ruby and Louvel, as he tells that Salem never knew fear before nor the strength of the Silver-Eyed Warriors in which when she ran from him and wounded him in the process he regretted not slaying her when he had the chance as she would go on to tell her Scions about the Silver Eyed Warriors killing any they encounter. Which Louvel vows to slay Salem with everything he has, in which Masamune and Louvel spar together ending with Louvel being victorious but the alarm is sounded as the Scions of Salem begin their assault on the Shinbaori village.

Corona would then end up getting captured by the Spiders by Melanie and Miltia as Lil Miss Malachite, would then begin to torture Corona slowly, but the sniper does not break. Knowing full well that she knew what she had to do. Yet, as soon as the Mistralian government was killed she would be next, only for Corona to say. You first. As her group comes to her rescue as Corona now faces off against her once affiliated gang saying that this was her "Graduation" from being a slave to a Gang to now being a free bird as Lil Miss Malachite reveals her affiliation being with the Scions of Salem..

Louvel's group faces off against the newly seated Seat of Vanity revealing themselves to be Shuten-Douji the Seat of Violence, as he is now been turned into a Grimm-Hybrid. Which enrages the wolf faunus to see his own brother in arms fall so far, as he attempts to enter the Violent Wolf State but hesitates, knowing full well that he could die if he tries to push himself to that limit. Yet, Louvel would immediately use a wolf art against him making the Grimm Honey Badger faunus step back out of fear, but its only when Kai enters stating its his final fight too as both he and Louvel double team against the grimm-faunus.

With Corona's group they all enter combat against Lil Miss Malachites gang as they know they have to prevent them from reach the top ground, as The Order of Nobunaga joins in on the fight as well. Assisting Corona as she battles her once "Handler" with renewed ferocity, and before she can lay down the final strike she is immediately countered as Lil Miss Malachite renounces her humanity becoming a Grimm Hybrid and soon declaring herself, The Seat Of Manipulation. Which finally, Corona grits her teeth as she prepares herself to face off against the hybrid until she is joined by Mizunami Musashi, a member of the Mistralian Government but also a Shinbaori Warrior.

Kai and Louvel fight against Shuten Douji together but soon he overpowers them with a Grimm Death Art. making the two struggle harder than before, as finally he kills Kai as the fox faunus smiles at Louvel telling him one thing. "To Awaken the Enlightened Wolf." as the wolf faunus hesitates again to the point of panicking, in which he takes a deep breath and starts to focus on Good and Bad times. Unleashing the Tenth Art: Enlightened Wolf against his brother as he beheads him ending the Seat of Violence. To which Shuten realizes that despite being an illegitimate brother to Louvel loved him all the same hugging his brother and crying in his arms as Shuten also cries telling him that Orochi is also one of the Scions of Salem as well... as he fades away into nothingness with Louvel understanding that he needs to find a way to save Orochi as well.

Back with Corona she and Mizunami fight against Lil Miss Malachite as they are pushed to their limit as Corona loads up her final arrow which was none other than the Ancient Arrow she was given to by Professor Lionheart as she fires it at Lil Miss Malachite as it is similar to that of a shooting star striking her ending the Seat of Manipulation. To which after this A Screecher as a messenger and a member of the Mistralian government goes to Ozpin who is shocked at the news of two Seats of Vanity being killed, as he excitedly states that his is a blessing and an Omen as Ozpin states through Oscar that they will definitely defeat Salem this time.... and end her once and for all.

Volume 7-

Salem mobilizes the Seats of Vanity sending Omega and Orochi who are both the number three and number two of the Seats of Vanity after Team RWBY, BLCKOUT, and SPNL are heading to Argus with the Relic of Knowledge after losing two Seats of Vanity (Even though one was proclaimed)

The Guardians of Light encounter Omega on the train heading to Argus and ends up getting separated. Where Blake, Corona, Weiss, Outsider, Nora, and Lie Ren are rescued by Cashmere who takes them to the Ruins of Light where they meet the Grimm Titan of Benevolence Exaltia, while Yang, Louvel, Blade, Ruby, Weiss,Oscar, Sun, and Pyrra Qrow meet Cala Maria as they are taken to her home where they can rest.

Desperate to learn more information about Salem, Oscar/Ozpin gives Ruby his blessing to use the Relic of Knowledge, while Exaltia informs the other half about Salem, revealing her immortality. While their resolve is shaken by the revelation however, Louvel and Lie Ren solve it as it was not a manner of How to defeat Salem. But WHO can defeat Salem.

Ruby and Blade's group are attacked by Theta (Outsider's sister) and her massive pack of raptors, when Cala Maria reveals the guide to help Ruby unleash her silver eyed powers, unleashing it for the first time ever and saving her friends, as Exaltia senses it and sends everyone else to their position as Cala Maria reveals herself to be the famed Grimm Reaper.

Cala Maria explains that there were once many Silver Eyed Warriors like herself, who created a unit called the Silver Order. In which many of them would fight to preserve life by any means necessary as it was created by Ozpin when he discovered a key weakness to the Grimm. Despite everything, mankind and faunuskind both feared and grew jealous of their power. Thus the Silver War began and ended with the leader of the Silver Eyed Warriors ending it by cutting off her own eyes and happily stating that they too will stand out of the way for other hunters as they realize what man had done to the people that were protecting them.

Ruby is left shocked as they travel to Argus, saying her farewell to them as they head to the City on the Coast of Mistral, to negotiate a means of travel with the Hound of Pride, Colonel Cordovin and her commanding officer. Only allowing Weiss to return to Atlas but not anyone else. As currently a Grimm Titan is in the vicinity that being Perseus.

Pyrra is aware that Jaune has family here as everyone meets one of his older sisters, as Kazura and Pyrra sadly explain about his death to which she stops them as they understand about his death. That she was glad he was able to die knowing that he did his very best to become a Hunter as he had dreams of being one just like their father. With her crying happily knowing he died in the arms of friends.

The Guardians of Light would then encounter Orochi who has already instigated the Grimm Titan of the Seas, Perseus to rise utilizing a device built by Professor Watts to mimic the Grimm Titan of Malevolence, Imperius' own roar. The Guardians of Light would fight against him but lose as he easily overpowers them and states that fighting like that won't get them very far and that they have to put everything on the line when fighting a Seat of Vanity. As Orochi decides to spare them when Perseus makes landfall and fades away.

Immediately, Cordovin battles Perseus, aware of the Titan as both have a long rivalry that needs to be settled, while the Guardians of Light help to evacuate the city as quick as they can. Yet, Cordovin would deal what seemed like a killing blow on the Titan, which only enraged Perseus as he enters his Burning Rage mode nearly destroying Cordovin's mech and with another seemingly killing blow from her, forces the Titan into a wounded retreat. As Cashmere and her commanding officer scolds her. As the actual Imperius would be making landfall in mere hours.

The Guardians of Light take a Sub down to the ruins of what was once the "Greatest Trading Port" in Old Remnant during the Age of Antiquity. As they discover that Perseus was once its guardian as they fire a "Dust Nuke" for the Titan to absorb and use its energy to heal him and re-energize the Titan. Grateful he unleashes a heat ray towards the sky calling for help from Exaltia and Aelius who comes to his aid.

As she tries to tell Blake and Yang this but the duo do not trust her nor will they give the information that Ironwood has given them to ensure the world is reconnected.

The Titan of Neutrality as she unleashes her silver eyes against the Titan, who finds her impressive.

While Weiss, Blade, and Ruby move to assist Penny and Winter who are fighting Cinder as she nearly claims Frias life only to be stopped by a Simulacrum of Jotunheim. Which evens the odds for the Guardians of Light. With Cinder retreating and roaring with fury while the Scion of Thunder mocks Cinder for not being strong enough and Neo joining in agreement.
