Chapter 4

The next day, after a well deserved sleep in an actual bed, Makoto had woke to Roman waiting with some white fang troops, they had to go pick up some transport for this big job on that night. Makoto felt excited hoped there was some real danger, like the first time he met Torchwick in the abandoned sector of Vale. Roman had gone into a more indepth discussion about things about Remnant, like the many kingdoms, Faunas and the academy which overlooked Vale. Filling the amnesiac in on the smaller details, and essentials. The boy was still confused to what was the purpose of their chaos, yet dismissed it.

Roman asked the boy questions about his background and abilities, questioning where he got this mysterious power from.

"This power, my personas. They feel so natural and familiar yet I don't know how or where I learnt to use it." Makoto told Roman, much to the older man's disappointment. "What's strange is the fact that you can use it without the utilization of dust." Makoto could see what he meant, it was definitely strange that he could use it without dust or a semblance. One thing they noted was that the boy didn't even have aura as well, but still physically excelled.

They headed out to another warehouse, which had stored all the vehicles required for the operation tonight, which was to steal a large shipment of Dust that had come in from Mistral. They were to swoop in, steal the goods and head out straight away. A large amount of guns and swords were passed around the white fang members as they got geared up for the big raid tonight. Makoto looked over the troops, the excitement rising as he realised they were about to get a piece of action. However on the outside, he appeared as sullen as ever.

So like this the white fang and Torchwick were ready, and so Makoto joined them in their endeavour. They took off in airships and headed to the docks, open landing many of the white fang ran out and got to work. Roman turned to Makoto before exiting, "Stay in here for now, only come out if anything goes down alright?" Torchwick gave his usual smirk before leaving. Makoto felt about dejected about this but decided it was for the best. It didn't take long for action to start as he could hear the white fang yelling at something. Until a strong, female voice called out,

"Brothers and sisters of the white fang, why are you doing this?" Makoto took this as his queue to head out. It didn't take long for a fight to start as well. Before he knew it Roman was and his goons were engaged in combat with two young people.

The first was the girl who most likely just spoke and was also oddly familiar to the boy. She had flowing black hair and cat ears poking out from her hair. Her piercing yellow eyes were also a notable feature. The second was a scraggly young man who wore his shirt unbuttoned, showing his toned abs. He appeared to be a monkey faunus and was wielding a staff.

"Why are you following a human like this?" the catgirl from before called out to the White Fang, and as she finished the sentence the goons launch themselves at her. They were each easily taken down by the girl and the monkey boy. Their fighting styles were both equally impressive, and just the sight of the battle made Makoto's adrenaline kick in and he craved to enter the battle. Makoto gave a grin and took a step outside of the ship, but a cane obstructed his path before he could engage in the fight. "Let me take care of this." Torchwick said, as he slowly walked into the stray. He cracked down his cane upon the cat girl, but the blow was deflected by the boy. The three entered into an intense battle, and despite being at a disadvantage it looked like Torchwick was winning the fight.

Roman was able to continually evade and deflect their attacks and also manage to put on a solid offensive, Makoto was even more impressed with his fighting style, as it looked like it took no effort at all, yet was able to do so much with minimal movement and wasted energy. Torchwick managed to land a devastating blow on the cat girl, sending her flying into one of the shipping containers, and downed the monkey boy. He watched as Roman aimed the end of his cane at the monkey boy,

"Hey!" Makoto yelled out, causing the older man to look around in shock. Makoto felt anger rise inside, "you're not going to kill them right?" Roman gave a smirk before turning around to the monkey boy.

"Hey!" Another voice yelled, this it seemed to be a girl and far away. Makoto looked towards the source to see the strange girl he saw whilst walking about the town the other day. She donned a red robe, and gothic clothing which made her stand out. Roman looked up at the girl as well and actually replied, "Well hello little red!" He called out and then turned to Makoto, "take care of her." Makoto nodded, and made for the girl tin the red cape.

One of the ships fired upon her, and she was knocked back. Another girl appeared before her and began laying into the white fang, with blades appearing out of her back. This is gonna be tough, Makoto thought to himself. He called upon Metatron and Mithra in his mind and felt the power swell within himself. The strange new girl approached Makoto after wiping out the white fang, the red robed girl in toe.

"Salutations frien-"

"Last Judge"

A large column pole materialised and fell from the sky, causing a large explosion upon impact. Usually using the fusion spell Makoto would feel weak afterwards, but with this newfound aura and the fact he grew extremely strong since the last time he used the ability, and had found a stronger spell meant that he felt just fine and dandy. He looked around for the two girls, yet they were nowhere nearby. He could sense an enemy approach from above, and looked up to see the red robed girl.

"Very interesting… Why don't we have some fun then." Makoto smirked and drew Lucifer's blade and deflected a blow from a… scythe? The girl took Makoto by surprise and initiated another quick attack. The blows were extremely fast but lacked any power from the girl. He deflected this attack and managed to kick her away, the girl sent flying away. A blade flew past his head and once again his body had a adrenaline coursing through it,

"So you survived too…" He spoke out to the second girl, who had swords dancing behind her as she approached the boy. "That was horribly rude of you! Interrupting me while I was speaking!" The strange orange haired girl spoke out, Makoto not wishing to listen to anymore launched himself at the girl, drawing his evoker this time whilst concentrating on the power of Thor and Take-Mikazuchi.

"Thunder Call."
Orbs appeared in the sky and formed another circle, before large bolts of lightning arced down and rained upon the girl. The girl had a look of shock whilst being hit by the lightning. The attack stopped and the girl still stood, yet there was something off. The girl simply collapsed whilst in the same position, all her limbs still rigid. The other girl, red cape cried out in pain and sorrow. Did I just kill her? Guilt took a hold of the young man's heart as he desperately sought out a persona within himself which had samarecarm. Feeling the power of Melchizedek he pulled out his evoker and summoned the persona and attempted to revive the girl. Yet nothing happened. The red caped girl charged at Makoto,

"Leave her alone!" She screamed as she shot her scythe boosting her towards the boy. Makoto deflected this strike and landed a hit on the back of her head, knocking out the girl.

"Let's go kid, those two brats got away but I managed to wound one of them." Roman looked slightly pissed. He looked down upon the knocked out girl and the corpse of the other girl. His expression eased up a bit and he pushed Makoto forwards,

"It's hard sometimes, but we have to do what's necessary to survive." Roman sounded kind for the first time since Yuuki had met the man. The two entered a air ship which carried them off, Roman happy with the huge success, and Makoto wallowing in guilt and self pity.
