Chapter 1: The true will of Remnant, the raging cries of Gaea.
(Unknown Location)
It was night time, as the shattered moon looms above, within the forest of Vert, the sounds being created by crickets and any other normal wildlife.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
That does not last however as gunfire rings in the distance that signifies a battle is nearby, making the animals to flee from the sudden disturbance, if one were to ask what is happening would be because that someone is currently running while avoiding the multiple gunshots from the chaser, the said chaser was laughing madly, sounding masculine, which makes it male.
A pale man with gold eyes and a brown ponytail braided to resemble a scorpion's tail. He wears a white sleeveless jacket with leather belts strapped to it, along with white pants. His jacket is left open, exposing his bare chest, which is criss-crossed with prominent scars. His arms are covered with purple bandages and leather vambraces. He also wears leather boots covering his entire shin with knee guards. On each earlobe is a silver, ring-shaped earring, and near the top of his left ear is another matching earring.
This none other than Tyrian, the psychopathic lunatic amongst those who see him, and right now, he is enjoying the moment of hunting the one being shot at.
"Ha! Ha! Ha! that rights little lady, keep running! It is a lot more fun when you suffer from those gashes I gave you, it won't be long before I snuffed the life out of you!" the madman exclaimed with glee as he keeps on shooting his soon to be victim in cold blooded murder.
The 'lady' in question was running for her life, breathing heavily as her legs are working as best they can, but she knows that it is only a matter of time before her assailant manages to catch her, and kill her, as the lunatic pulled the trigger on his claw like gauntlets, the only thing he has shot was the tree next to the women, unable to dodge the scattering splinters, she covered her face with her arms.
But it was futile as the explosion itself has enough power to send her flying towards a steep hill that made her to start rolling with her momentum of gravity, it was not long before she reached the bottom, regaining her wits did she gets back up to start running again, but her right foot was hit by a speeding projectile, she drops down and screams in pain, when she turns around, her eyes dilated in fear.
For the smoking barrel of a fired bladed gauntlet is shown as Tyrian is no more than twenty feet in front of her with a grin of delight in catching her off guard, with his pupils look like he is in ecstasy from the pain he has put her in, as well as taking his time in torturing her.
He raises his hand with his finger moving side to side in a faux-scolding manner. "tsk, tsk, tsk, now that I have got you stop running like a frightened child, I can now begin my fun with you, little Missy." He said with anticipation of what is about to occur as he licks his lips in excitement.
The implications were not missed by the fatally injured huntress.
'Dammit! This isn't good, I lost my weapon awhile back, I still can't believe of the rookie mistakes I been making, and I have been a huntress for years, yet this crazy bastard predicted my moves before I could make them, Its almost as if he knows how I fight, doesn't help that I am losing large amounts of blood here.' She thinks with a hazy mind and black spots are slowly invading her vision from near exhaustion.
Regardless, she begins to crawl away as fast as possible from the crazed lunatic, but her attacker only smiled more, he then leisurely walks towards her, and once he is close, he grabs her by the throat, and lifts her up in the air, making her grab his arms when he starts putting pressure on her neck.
But he lets go and kicks her in the ribs with enough strength to send her tumbling into the overgrowth, she fell into a gaping hole that blended well with the environment, her coughing and struggles to breath from the kick she received, but her desperation for survival kicks in as she movies into the cave at a slow pace due to losing huge amounts of blood from her fight hours ago.
She stopped however when she hears footsteps from the outside nearby, staying still to avoid detection before hearing that her attacker was moving far away from her current hiding spot, once it was safe enough did moves further into the huge tunnel, not taking chances of going outside with the megalomaniac still out there searching for her.
But unknown to her is that she is about to go into something big, and it will bring cataclysmic events for things to come.
"Damn it all to hell, how can something like this happen? I can't believe this is happening, I just really can't, why hasn't help I called on the way not showing up, am I going to die here all alone?" she muttered to herself, slowly giving into despair as reality kicks in, she knows in the deepest depths of her heart that it is the case, but she just doesn't want to accept it.
She is losing whatever last ounce of her strength she has left, she then starts to have flashes of the good and bad times in her life as well as having regrets in the past, but she then has flashes of two little girls no less than seven years old as well as little baby appearing in her mind with her husband included, and all the friends she made over the years showing their smiling faces to her.
With flames of determination to see her family again, she moves with all the power she could muster to get closer to the end of the cave, before she could go further, a huge shadow looms above her, when she looks up is when she loses all color, because the figure jumping down from rock to rock until he lands right behind her.
It was the same monster in human skin that stand before her, she then slowly moves while not removing her eyes off him in case he tries anything.
This was not missed by her attacker however who was walking right behind her, but he didn't care as he was enjoying the struggle she was making. "Heh, heh, heh, I gotta say that you have given me a little bit of a hard time finding you, you have some serious willpower to have come this far, granted, you are trapped inside a cave, but you get the point, but for now,"
He suddenly blurs in front of her, grabs the front of her shirt, lifts her up and starts to repeatedly punch her in the mid-section, hard. He relishes her screams of pain, as he does this for a couple of seconds before throwing her further into the tunnel. "I want you to scream for me!" he yells at her, then starts to cackle to show his madness of the situation.
Once the huntress stops moving, she noticed that she reached the end of the tunnel, and what she saw was something she never saw before.
In the center lays a clearing of the most beautiful flowers she as ever seen, however what stands out the most is something that looks more like a big black ball embedded into the ground, tightly wrapped around by vines due to this being undisturbed throughout the years, her instincts were screaming at her to get away from it because there is a presence, it feels fouler than anything she felt before.
And something far more ancient.
Her reverie was cut short when he hears footsteps closing in from behind the tunnel, which it is soon followed by cackling, when she turns around, she lost all color immediately.
"Well now, this is interesting, I have never been to this place before, and I doubt anyone else did for that matter, but that black object is something to behold, that don't look natural it seems, don't you think? Ms, Summer Rose." The crazy man said with his crazy smile ever present. the now revealed Summer Rose was ignoring him as she was trying to get away while moving backwards, until her back hits the sphere, she turns her attention back at it.
Big mistake.
BANG!
The bullet pierced into her shoulder as she screamed in even more agony as her aura didn't give much protection, due to it almost close to being depleted, but the bullet also flew towards the black ball that simply ricochet around the occupants in the area, but not without a few dents being made.
"AUUUGGGH! You bastard! What do you hope to accomplish in trying to kill me!? Is it for some sick pleasure that you get off from!?" she screamed in pain as well as confusion from the whole situation despite bleeding all over the ground, while accidentally placing her back on the giant sphere that has blood being scraped on its surface, scraping pieces off it in the process.
The maniac merely responded with a mock look of contemplation with his arms crossed, while placing his finger under his chin as he is looking up from the big hole at the top of the mountain with the moon almost appearing, then he looks back at Summer with his evil grin returning with a vengeance.
"Well since you are going to die here anyway, I guess I can indulge you, it is simple as it is my mission given to me by our goddess, Reason? -then points at her- Because you have silver eyes that's been a thorn on her side over the years, and it was high time to end those cursed warriors bloodline for good!" he exclaimed, with his eyes bulging from the thought of pleasing her so-called 'goddess'.
They were so focused with each other, they didn't notice that cracks are showing on the black object that was being used by Summer to lean on, when the ground started to shake did it caught their undivided attention, they begin to frantically look around trying to find out what was causing these tremors, and it was happening outside at the very moment too, resulted it to being an earthquake.
But the reasons behind it are a different story.
(Outside the cave)
Animals shivering or fleeing, trees rotting from the inside out, flowers were starting to wilt and die in the process, followed by the sky covered by dark clouds that is creating lightning with thunder sounding off in the distance, with the former being red as blood like the moon itself that is soon is the center of the clouds that has not covered it entirely.
(Back inside the cave)
Both Summer and Tyrian were hard-pressed in maintaining their center of gravity as the ground was collapsing all around as the pieces are falling into the deep abyss, it would have continued if the black sphere didn't suddenly levitate two feet off the ground, and without further warning, the sphere creates a heartbeat like shockwave that pushed Summer away from it.
Summer of course was caught off guard when it did that as Tyrian was equally surprised when he saw her being pushed away from the unknown object, the result was instant and shocking for the two occupants to witness it first hand as everything stops when it did that.
It was silent as the grave for a few moments before a tiny crack appears on the black sphere with a line of an orange-red hue of light shining through, that is followed by another, then another, the process was repeating itself until cracks start getting bigger with earthquakes returning with more force to the point that lava was glowing from below where the parts of the ground used to be.
The next thing they hear was something that sent a trillion molecular ice needles into their very veins.
"GRRROOOAAARR!" The roar was loud and monstrous that even Tyrian was shaking from the fear he was feeling, as it held nothing but hatred and fury.
In an instant, the black ball burst in a bright light of orange and red, followed by a beam of power that was expanding and shooting all the way up to the night sky, blowing everything around it with the mountain that it was inside of being the first one to go, with the two occupants screaming in surprise and fear as they disappear into the tunnel and out the exit, with Summer thinking of one thing.
'This is going to catch everyone's attention'
-x-
(All over Remnant)
And she was right to assume that as the region of Vert is not the only place that is shaking from the earthquakes as it is happening around the globe, all over the four kingdoms the people are starting to panic from what is going on, hurricanes, floods, thunder and lightning storms occurring in both ground and sea, as well as the Grimm, old and young, were reduced to a whimpering mess, not knowing on what to do.
Even infants of both Faunus and humans were crying and wailing as if something was coming that is of supernatural origins, and the parents and nurses in homes and hospitals respectively tried everything they could to calm them down from the catastrophe that is occurring right now.
BOOM!
Then everything stopped as all life stared at the huge beam of power that has showed itself for the whole world to see, and they have every right to feel the terror from the most powerful display that they have ever seen in their lives, they didn't want to believe what they are seeing, for others, it is very much real.

(In an unknown location)
The land that is invested with dark purple crystals with black pools that spawn Grimm from the dark depths, and in the clearing, appears to be a castle of malicious origins, and the one living in it is outside of the balcony as the single individual bears witness to the power being unleashed.
Unlike those that are trembling with fear and trepidation, she was staring at it with longing.
"This power, whatever that is, I must have it, if I am going to attain the relics and the maidens, then I have got to find a way to control its power of whatever possesses it." The person said that reveals to be the voice of a women who stares upon pillar with various emotions, the most prominent being want and barely concealed greed at the whole spectacle.
Wearing what appears to be a dress that is pitch black that represents the darkness she controls, with a red eye on her cape while having her hair in a leg like fashion, her eyes are blood red while her sclera being black as well as having purple veins around her temples, with more veins around her exposed arms to complete her appearance.
This is none other than Salem, queen of the Grimm and a threat to humanity and the Faunus race.
She is thinking of ways on how to attain the source of that power that is now slowly getting bigger, with a plan in mind, she heads inside of her castle as her eyes start to glow with malicious intent and glee from the thought of gaining that unknown power for herself as the doors closed behind her automatically with a slam.
If only she knew that the one thing responsible of this phenomenon, is something far more powerful, and far more ancient than even the two brothers themselves, unlike her, this very force of nature is something that cannot be contained, coerced or controlled in any sense, and it is more volatile than mere Dust crystals that humanity relied so heavily since its creation.
She is going to learn very soon not to anger the source of this power, as it is a being far beyond her comprehension, and her knowledge Of the world being put into question.

In the island of Patch lays a house in the middle of a forested area, crying is being heard as two children are getting frantic from all the shaking and quaking, but their father was doing everything he can to keep his children safe from the events while feeling worried for his wife.
'Summer, please come back home safely.' Was the thought of Tai-yang Xiao Long as he gazes the horizon through the window.

(Meanwhile: six minutes before the earthquakes)
Things were peaceful in the office of Beacon Academy as one man was enjoying the quiet with coffee in hand as well as a cane as he stands in front of the windows, thinking about the times in his younger days, his past mistakes and actions that lead him to this very spot today as well with making friendships along the way.
This person is looks like a middle-aged man with tousled silver hair and thin brown eyes. He has a light complexion and sharp facial features. Interestingly, has black eyebrows, suggesting that he may have had black hair when he was younger.
He wears shaded glass spectacles and a small, purple, cross-shaped pin on the cowl around his neck. His outfit mainly consists of an unzipped black suit over a buttoned vest and green shirt. He also wears black trouser shoes and long, dark-green pants. In addition to his cane, his other frequent accessory is a mug bearing the Beacon Academy emblem, from which he drinks with.
This is none other Ozpin, the headmaster of Beacon academy.
The serenity was interrupted when earthquakes started to begin, it doesn't help ease his worries when he turns on his scroll to check on the news to find out what is going on, and what he hears is more disconcerting then he realized, as he watches reporters left and right of occurrences with mass hysteria and panics across the bigger cities due to the oddities happening all over the world.
But it doesn't end there as the reports from the huntsmen in the field stated that the Grimm were turning their heads simultaneously in one specific direction, almost as if they know the source of the disturbance as lightning blasts were becoming red as blood, with the clouds that looks like it is becoming to spread in the entirety of Vert.
He narrows his eyes in the direction of what could be the possible cause as his gut is telling him so.
He snapped his attention to the elevator, when it opens, it reveals a woman who holds herself as stern and stoic, appearing to be also a middle-aged woman that has very light-blonde hair tied back in a bun with a curl hanging down the right side of her face. Her eyes are bright green and she wears thin ovular glasses. She has dangling teal earrings that match the hanging pendant on her collar.
She wears a white long-sleeved, pleated top that has a wide keyhole neckline and gauntlet cuffs that flare in pleats at the wrist. Her lower body is covered by a black high-waisted pencil skirt with bronze buttons and black-brown stockings.
She wears black boots with bronze heels, and a cape that is purple inside and black on the outside. The cut of the cape is stylized to end in flames and arrows, with a row of diamond-shaped bronze beads on the back. Above this line of beads appears an emblem of a tiara that is her personal symbol.
This is Glynda Goodwitch, Ozpins vice headmistress, and his old friend.
"Sir, we got a situation, Miss Rose has not contacted us since she departed on her mission, which was seven hours ago, we sent Qrow to aid her, but that giant storm is causing disruption to the C.C.T towers in all the kingdoms, making communications difficult." Glynda reported as straight-forwards as she always has been.
But if one were to pay close attention, she would be showing a hint of worry as she grew quite fond of the former leader of team STRQ as she and her team separated to live their own lives.
Ozpin hummed in contemplation while not missing the well concealed concern in her eyes before sitting back down on his desk, turning to her direction, putting his cane and mug down to lace his fingers together as he stares at his most trusted partner and friend before speaking. "Has there been any discoveries in concerning these unusual disasters across the kingdoms Glynda?" he asks.
Glynda merely shook her head before saying. "Not yet Ozpin, but the real problem is the strange behavior from the Grimm, and the huntsmen have reported that they were not paying attention to them whatsoever, Ozpin, I am puzzled from all of this if I am being honest here, just what is going on is highly unusual." She speaks her concerns as she pinches the bridge of her nose in frustration.
"Your guess is as good as mine Glynda, this is a disturbing scenario we are digging into, natural disasters, weather phenomenon, world-wide panic in the bigger cities as well with the huge clouds engulfing the entirety of Vert is not helping things for us." He stated with concern in his voice being evident from the too many variables happening at once while the two were aware of the situation at hand.
For this is the most peculiar thing to ever happen in the history of Remnant.
Before Glynda could respond back to her superior, everything suddenly stops, becoming so silent to the point of being ominously unnerving, the two held their breaths with the rest of the four kingdoms doing the same thing almost instinctively, before they were about to move a muscle, the earthquakes return a hundred times worse than before as everything begins to topple over from their places.
Buildings tumbling down, streets and roads cracking, with the tectonic plates shifting from the oceans, with volcanoes erupting as well as ones that lay dormant, aftershocks and the disablement of the CCT towers, people running or dying from these natural disasters, or unlucky enough to be crushed by buildings as the populace move to the evacuation centers for safety.
Ozpin and Glynda were forced to hold onto the desk as tight as they could to avoid tripping over, all the kingdoms populace begins to start panicking with just as more fear induced into them.
Then suddenly.
BOOM!
The sound of that explosion was so loud it broke the office windows, luckily neither Glynda and Ozpin weren't injured from the sharp fragments thanks to their aura protecting them, but then a light starts to illuminate the office that got the duos attention, and when they returned their attention outside the window, it will be something that will be burned in their memories forever.
"My god." Glynda muttered in disbelief and fear as she and Ozpin as well of all the four kingdoms stared at what possibly be the biggest beam of light that reaches into the farthest reaches of the sky, beyond the atmosphere and into the cosmos.
Ozpin was frozen stiff before he manages to compose himself and looks back Glynda, ignoring the huge beam of light that is beyond the horizon.
"Glynda, I need to speak with the council and James to talk about what is going on, I need you to stay here in my stead for the time being, evacuate everyone as this demands our priorities to be focused on the matter at hand, and bring a bullhead to Summers location." He ordered with a stern face that she knows this is serious.
Glenda knew there is a time and a place when making her thoughts known, so she just nodded in affirmative with some reluctance, but an order is an order, Ozpin on the other hand was confident that she can take care of the school while he is gone, but it didn't help ease his concerns for the well-being of everyone, both the students and the staff.
With a destination clear in mind he leaves into the elevator with Glynda by herself for the time being, but not before he sees the anamoly is starting to dwindle away from existence, meaning it was almost over, but that did little to erase his concerns completely.
'If it is a threat, then we will do whatever it takes to stop it, by any means necessary.' Ozpin vowed as the elevator closes.

(Six minutes later: Present time)
Summer groans as she wakes up after she lost consciousness due to the blast that spread far and wide which knocked her out when the rocks flew at her with one getting a lucky shot on the back of the cranium in the process, when observing her surroundings while lying down, she will notice that everything was scorched with fire, several trees burning as well as wildlife not being spared.
It was a gruesome sight, seeing one deer being impaled by a thick sharp branch, struggling to move as it was dangling a couple feet off the ground, with organs out of the deer's body as it was reduced to a shish kebob.
It won't last much longer.
Groaning in pain, she struggles to get up, but she pulled through, as she was about to depart from her spot, she feels a presence, the same one she felt from the black sphere.
And it seems to be free, and it is moving towards her location!
With her instincts screaming at her to hide, she quickly crawls inside a hollow tree that was lying down, it has a hole for her eye to peek into, a couple seconds later, she starts to feel the ground shaking from what she believes to be a stampede coming her way, with her heart pounding in anxiety as the sounds are getting closer to her location.
And what she sees will haunt her for the rest of her days.
Grimm, huge numbers of them running past her with various types squealing and whimpering with their proverbial tails between their legs, of all the things summer was expecting, this was not one of them, she is contemplating as to why this strange behavior was happening from her hiding spot, but the last Grimm that is known to be an Alpha Beringel is going to meets its end soon.
Because without warning, as a shot was heard as it strikes into the gorilla's left leg, blowing it off instantly, the Grimm then tumbles into the ground face first screaming in pain and agony that it had never felt before as it claws the ground with an attempt to crawl away, ignoring the fact it had lost an appendage from that attack.
It didn't last long however as something grabbed the other leg, and it begins to slowly drag the Grimm as it was wailing and whimpering in fear as death being imminent, it then accidentally hits the tree Summer was hiding in, forcing to roll to the left with a big boulder in her line of sight, the Grimm disappeared behind the undergrowth soon then after.
But for Summer that is still hiding inside the tree was starting to regain her focus from the hit notices something that practically scared her out of her mind, for in front of her was a boulder big enough to illuminate the shadow reflecting from the fire which displays a giant humanoid creature with four giant arms with its top right arm holding the Beringels' legs.
dragging it as the unfortunate Beringel was clawing the ground with little success, once it was within reach did the six-armed entity makes it's moves on the gorilla type Grimm.
Which is by lifting it up in the air with one of its upper arms that is restraining the Beringels' legs while it's oppressors' giant bottom arms were holding the Grimms arms spread apart from each other, while using two normal arms to rip open its victim's guts in a reckless and painful manner with its razor-sharp claws, making it scream in even more agony as its black blood was spraying the entire area from top to button from every slash it receives.
And it was happening right behind her in near proximity!
Summer's face turn pale from the horrifying display, and with the entire thing happening in the shadows that the boulder was showing as well as the sounds from both creatures with the unknown giant making snarls and grunts with the torture it was inflicting did not help her case at all.
Once the monster grows bored, did it then move the Grimm upside up towards it's tormentor face to face, faster than lighting did it grabs the Grimm head, snapping the neck with ease before pulling its head off with the spine to go with it, standing there as it watched both the body and the head disintegrate into nothing.
Satisfied with the latest kill did it then reared its head and arms back.
"GROAAAHH!" the roar was so deafening, it forced Summer to cover her ears from going deaf as it roared in triumph, and it seems like it was finished with its moment as it begins to move slowly with big thuds that is only enhanced by the giant bottom arms, seemingly for support, the gruesome sight became too much for her as she moves away from the hole and closes her eyes as it moves past her, unaware of her presence.
And Summer was holding her breath with her hand covering her mouth to avoid being heard, once it slowly walked out of sight did burning trees collapsed where the path the creature exited from, blocking the path completely, then once Summer felt safe enough, she get's out of the tree she was hiding in as she looks at the whole area, the devastation was messy.
"I don't know what that thing was, but I am not going stick around to find out, I need to get out of here now." Summer said to herself as she slowly walks through the only open path available to her, taking into an account that she is hardly in any position to move over the higher places due to the fire as well as the new injuries from the blast from earlier, she is left with no choice but to suck it up and move on.
-x-
It has been several minutes since her encounter with the unknown beast that has been in her mind ever since, and she is left with more questions than answers, as well as mulling about her assassin's whereabouts for the moment.
Summer shook her head from such thoughts. 'Focus Summer, you've got to go back to the rendezvous point as it is your only chance to survive, you'll think about what happened later, I wish my team was here to help me from this predicament.'
It's true as she made the foolish decision of going alone that was done with her bragging about nothing is going to beat her, after this night, she was so very wrong to think that way since it almost cost her life that left her humbled from this experience.
She noticed that her destination is near towards the landing point that the bullhead has yet to arrive, meaning that it is on its way after the blast faded from view which gives her pickup an opportunity to go to her location where the wide opened area is, 'There it is, just a little further.' She thought with hope as she moves towards the location with a limp, not able to run in her condition.
But her blood turned cold with her eyes going wide in fear from a voice whispering in her ear. "And where, pray tell, do you think you're going?" The voice said the belonged to none other than Tyrian.
"AHHHH" next thing Summer knows is that she is screaming in pain as her attacker begins to cackle when he kicks Summers' back hard, breaking it as a result, screaming in even further agony as she drops on the ground like a sack of potatoes, face first into the dirt that is muffling her screams.
Summer is now at the mercy of the madman behind her.
"Heh, heh, heh, heh, I have been looking everywhere for you after the blast caused by whatever that thing was that is currently roaming about, and never in my wildest dreams could it caused this much destruction around us." Turian said as he spread his arms towards the entire forest that is still on fire, but if one to pay attention is that he didn't manage to get away unscathed from the blast.
Summer was suffering too much to care in hearing his ranting as she was immobilized from the waist down, but Turian was not one liking to be ignored, he stomped his foot on her hand, crushing it with a sickening snap in several areas, Summer was whimpering as her throat was sore from all the screaming.
Still laughing sadistically, the pain he inflicted on her was staggering, he moves in front of her, he grabs her Lower jaw, forcing her to look up, Turian speaks once more. "Well it was fun while it lasted, but I got a goddess to report to, and as well as kill other people in the future, so with this being said." he raises his bladed gauntlet in the air, intending to finish her off.
Summers eyes grow wide in fear as she squirms from his hold on her lower jaw that is being squeezed hard to make sure she doesn't move, his smile could not get anymore wider. "This is where you die!" He then makes his finishing blow to end her.
By instinct she closed her eyes, everything is moving in slow motion waiting for the final blow to hit while thinking. 'everyone, it seems I am not going coming home, I'm so sorry, please forgive me.' She thought of everyone flashing before her eyes as she waits for death.
Except it didn't come, but she felt a gust of wind blew past her as if some force came through and the grip on her chin is gone as well, with overwhelming curiosity did she dare open her eyes, and what she saw shocked her.
Standing before her was Tyrian, and that is not surprising, but what is surprising is that he was being held by the same creature she encountered earlier.
Now being able to see it in full glory did she withhold a gasp.
Before her was something out of a nightmare, as it reminded her that the entity had six arms as before, but it's entire body looked like it was molted in magma, but it's form was slouched and if she were to guess, it would had been somewhere of being at least fifteen feet tall, and it doesn't seem to have a gender to show whether if it was male or female.
But the scariest thing was its eyes,
Those god-awful eyes that glows brightly speaks of pure rage and hatred that almost everything around it would be reduced to puddles if looks could kill, it's arms were big enough to cover an entire human being, and that is proven when is Tyrian is being squeezed to death, struggling and squirming from both the pressure and the heat that the monster is radiating.
This beast is known as Vlitra, the very heart of the planet itself.
She was brought out of her reverie when the monster's arm that has Tyrian in its clutches was beginning to crush him, who in turn was struggling to breath from the pressure, it was evident when he makes a face that looks like he was making a silent scream, eyes wide with his pupils dilated from the excruciating pain he has ever received in his life, desperately did he try to get out of its grasp.
He would have screamed if it wasn't for the fact that his upper body was held all the way up to his mouth being covered, preventing them from being heard at all, but still tries to get away regardless.
But Vlitra was having other plans.
With the arm hoisting him up, ignoring the fact that both people are staring at each other in slow motion, looking at each other in the eyes, with a deafening roar did it squeezed Tyrians body, spraying blood all over its hand, with the legs twitching and some of the blood splats on Summers face who was still as a statue, not daring to move from something as grueling as that.
It became too much for her as she passed out from the latest horror was the last straw for her mind to comprehend.
Had she stayed awake a little longer, then she would have bear witness to the monster throwing away the body with force and into the woods, causing a light tremor, Vlitra then turns its attention towards the prone women, staring at her for a few moments before reaching with its normal hand that was willed to cool down to avoid from burning her.
Not that it cared of what happens to her, it really doesn't, but it would be counter-productive to what it is trying to do.
The second it touched her head, it began to search through her memories, and once it was finished did it let go of her as it begins to walk away from the area, just in time for the bullhead to arrive and getting Summer to safety.
-x-
(Hours later)
Standing in a large circular clearing of the forest with the gull moon on full display undamaged from Vlitras release, and far away from Summers recent location most people that have seen the monster in action would have been surprised by its mercy, but that is not the case because it got what it needs for this world it had awakened into.
It didn't want to be recognized by the people of 'Remnant' as they now called the planet, and if the technology was to be accurate from the girls' memories, no matter, it has time to get acquainted until it feels ready to fight in today's system that was far too different from the time it lived in, humans with powers unique only to them, a new race called the Faunus that looks like humans with only extra animal appendages.
Learning through the great war, the creatures of darkness known as the Grimm, the White Fang, all of that it has learned.
And even finding out about her being in a brotherhood, a brotherhood that protects these four maidens of the seasons in secret to protect them from being used by power hungry humans and the four relics left behind by the two brothers who were declared as gods.
The beast had to scoff at that last one because the closest thing to a god would be the demi-gods back when the world of Remnant was once called Gaea, but that is nothing compared to what it learned next, the one thing that if had a face, then it would show the nastiest scowl matched by the growls it was making.
Salem.
The self-proclaimed queen of the Grimm and an old enemy/rival against the one called Ozpin, the headmaster of the school known as Beacon academy, it seems that it has been going around for a long time if it is hearing this correctly.
All in all, this learning experience has both surprised and disappointed it, surprised because the humans have finally grown a spine and try fending for themselves and not having to rely the demi-gods from the past, only to get killed in the process like useless cattle.
Getting rid of such thoughts did it then plan to make its next move on how to go about it, fortunately there is more to Vlitras' powers than one could know, and the ability to change forms is one of them.
Normally Vlitra doesn't care about what others think of its appearance, but it would be lying to itself if it wasn't curious about the world today, regardless of what it found in the white cloak women's memories, and despite popular belief, it is a lot more intelligent if you move past the terrible fury it holds against both humanity and demi-gods alike.
The six-armed scourge starts to levitate off the ground as it curls into a ball as a black mist warps around it, once it was completely shrouded, multiple heartbeat like shockwaves vibrated throughout the area, everything was silent before the shrouded sphere begins to disintegrate into nothingness, once they disappear, a foot gently touches the ground, followed by a second one.
What was once the monster minutes ago has been revealed to be the most beautiful human-like woman who gaze upon her, standing at least six feet tall, appearing in her late 20's, closely being 26, having smooth pure snow-white hair that reaches all the way down to the back of her knees with bangs that reaches her collarbone, it is practically glowing from the light of the moon which only enhances her beauty, with white eyebrows to declare that it is natural while being a little thin.
With her body currently naked with nothing to cover herself shows both the properties of both sensual and divine rolled into one, having perky D-cup breasts that accentuates her figure in natural proportions, strong tone legs that fits her hips with a little bush of white slightly above her nether regions, having an oval-shaped face, muscles that shows both speed and power in the right areas, with markings barely visible all over her body that is glowing crimson, as well as having bright crimson eyes with lashes, making her look as sharp as a sword that would cut even the most strongest of steel.
But behind those eyes speaks of terribly-concealed fury and hatred towards anyone who would so much as look at her wrong, which the exception of local wild life and nature itself that once ran and wilt before her near-demonic form, they now look upon her as an innocent child would when seeing its mother for the first time in a long time.
Ignoring them in favor of checking over her new human appearance, doing a single spin that made her hair moved along in an elegant way, with her glowing tattoo-like markings to stop glowing a second later, roaming her hands in a sensual manner that any man or women were to witness it, then the men would no doubt suffer from a heart attack.
And the women would feel jealous from her new divine figure or try to glare holes at her for those with boyfriends or husbands gawking at her, with her inspection done with her new body, she then wills her power to make clothes for herself, once finished did she check her new attire and if she was honest, they look pretty good in her opinion.
Hey, just because she is an entity, doesn't mean she can't have fun for a change, rightfully so when being inside the center of the planet for long periods of time.
For what she wears is now comprised of a robe with red and black colors with golden lines and a gold detail on the bottom that hugs her figure, which is also very snug, with a silver buckle, elbow length black gloves that is hidden by wrist length sleeves while having black boots that reaches to her knees as well as having black pants to match, including a grey collar with a slit open.
All in all, she looks good, deadly and regal, carrying a presence that demands respect and as well as fear from others, but that is nothing when she speaks her first words for the world to hear.
"Ahhh yes, it feels so good to be able to stretch my back for the first time, I should have used this form from the start if it was this convenient." She said out loud to herself as she stretches out the kinks.
(Just to be clear, she sounds like the voice of female superhuman voice set from Soul Caliber V)
While she was admiring herself, the local wildlife was watching her from afar, one animal, which happens to be a male white wolf became brave enough to get close to her, once he was with her peripheral range did she notice her audience, when she sees the wolf standing before, did they into a staring contest.
The newly clothed women decided to move towards him slowly, with her hand raised to him as she moves to sit down on her knees, with the other hand on her lap sitting right in front of him, the wolf stares at it, the white-haired women had no problem waiting, more than content to watch the wolf go at his own pace before he tenderly touches the hand with his nose, eyes closed, as a sign of trust.
For the first time since her return did she truly smile genuinely, granted, she might show and expressed contempt towards humans, but those of the animal kingdom have nothing to do with her hatred, she made sure the Gohma from the world of old stayed their claws away from them for they follow the nature they were born for.
Seeing this did other animals of various kinds followed the wolfs example and gotten close for her to pet them tenderly, even a crow landing on her right shoulder which she doesn't mind at all, she likes the company anyway,
It had been all night as the moon was moving closely towards the mountains, Vlitra decided it was enough of their quiet moment between them, she gently shooed them back into the dense wilderness, the animals of course were reluctant but concede her request, once they left did she drop her smile and returned the hard look she had minutes ago, she gets up from her spot and moves on to the dirt path.
As she was still walking did she hear noises in the bushes, unperturbed she moves on ignoring the noises, but an alpha beowolf decided to get the jump on the seemingly defenseless women, Vlitra was already aware of the Grimm's attack, just as it was about to do a swipe with its claws intending to tear her to shreds.
Vlitra did a complete 180, grabs the offending limb, crushes it and kicks the beast in the chest hard, the resulted was quick and precise as the beowolf was sent flying until it was but a blur in the distance, Vlitra was patting her clothes of any dirt with a huff, satisfied to relief some anger, she moves back on course as if she wasn't attacked by a Grimm at all.
"What a stupid creature to try and face me alone."
She decided that it was time for rest the second she saw an inn, planning on staying for the rest of the night, good thing she pick pocketed Summer when she was searching through her memories while unconscious, but not before sensing that she was being followed by the same wolf and crow from before, but paid them no heed as she can tell that they are just more curious about her than others.
Once she got in front of the door with a sign on the left that reads 'Higanaba Inn' she went inside of the interior, she ignored the stares from the humans like she was a piece of meat, she went to the female clerk, and spoke to her.
"Excuse me miss, but I would like to pay for an available room to stay for the night." She asked as politely as she could, and it worked as the inn keeper said yes with a smile as she took the right amount of currency in this world called Lien, she then leads Vlitra to the second floor where the farthest room to the right is.
"Thank you for staying here mam." The waitress energetically said which Vlitra responded with a nod and closes the door behind her, once she looks around the room till her eyes landed on the decent looking bed that was maintained with a soft blanket and a pillow meant for one person, once she removed her clothes and undergarments on a nearby clothes hanger, and move towards the bed.
She moves the blankets as Vlitras' nude form was covered all the way up to her breasts, staring through the window showing the night sky, until she closes her eyes as sleep claims her, wondering of what tomorrow holds for her as she waits for the first morning she ever had.

Well? What do you guys think about the first ever story involving Vlitra from Asura's Wrath? Was it good? Bad? Ugly? Let me know in the reviews about my added abilities for Vlitra, ones that works outside the eight mantra affinities, considering that Vlitra was hardly explained other than her (in this story, it's a her from now on to avoid confusion) impurity levels being immeasurable.
Oh no! Is Tyrian dead from his unlucky encounter with the most ancient beast of the world? Will Summer pull through from her experience as well as a crippled back that left her handicapped? Find out on the next chaapter
If anyone wants to know what her fashion looks like, then go back at the picture on the top and it will show you everything you need to know, minus the obvious hair style and the boots with the boots in question that looks like blindfolded Riku boots from KH2, google image it if you want more image clarity. do not own by the way.
Remember that this is an experiment for me in trying something fresh for fanfiction to try outside of common used characters that are overrated or at least something close to it, so don't hate me for trying, and a Beta being optional
That is all I want to say, and don't forget to Rate, Fave and review, as well as follow, all of this will make me feel loved and appreciated for my efforts.
Wrath of Vajra here signing out! (Giving out two peace signs)
