"This is Atlas PD, open the door!"

"Okay! One sec," Marcus called, nodding to William, and firing a round into the window and drop kicking it,

"Shit, move now!" Marcus yelled, summersaulting through the window, rolling onto the carport's roof and swinging off a support beam,

"WILL! DRIVE!" Marcus shouted, catching his thrown Heavy Cannon, opening up with upgraded Micro-Missiles,

"Damn I love Rich Get Richer!" He grinned as the missiles detonated, and they sped out of there,

"Drive for the edge,"

"WHAT?!"

"Drive. For the edge,"

"Alright we're at the edge kid, what's your play," Will said, panic creeping into his voice,

"Hang the fuck on," he said, clicking a detonator,

They rose past the lip of Atlas itself, thankfully the suspension held as they hit the road of Mantle,

"Arc, when we get to Argus, can we find a place to stay,"

"I've got you covered,"

——————————————————————

"Jaune, what in the ever loving gods happened,"

"A flying car,"

Saphron Arc deadpanned

"He's right, got the singe marks to prove it."

"And who the hell are you all," Saphron Arc snapped,

"Team RTRO, Marcus Qwint, William Joseph Blazkowicz, Caleb Orlens, and Trent Edwards, Raven Branwen, Roman and Neo Torchwick, Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao-Long,"

After introductions, the group ate and slept.

—————————————————————

Marcus awoke to a howl, not a normal Grimm, those were of anger, this one was different, hatred dripped from the noise, not unlike a Grimm, but there was something else, and it finally clicked when the others were up and loading their weapons, a fog began to roll in,

Marcus paled,

"Oh fuck," he muttered, fishing several gas masks from his bag,

"Where did you get these?" Jaune asked,

"Mom, doomsday prepper."

"Alright, I cannot stress this, be extremely careful, this is from what mythos I can guess, a Wendigo, that fog is a hallucinogenic, DO NOT breath it, this thing is fast, faster than Ruby at top speed probably, Kill it fast, Jaune and Pyrrha, stay here and keep your family safe,"

Jaune began to protest, but Saphron shut him down with a look,

A round whistled past the door jamb as Marcus, Will, and Caleb stepped into the cold air,

The Wendigo's head snapped toward them, and it uttered a dead bone-chilling shriek of hungry rage, it was like he said, Marcus only got off two Rivets before it was on him and he rolled away, drawing his lever-actions and firing desperately, William stabbed it with his chainsaw, sawing it's upper body in half when he heaved the device. The monster screamed in reply and backhanded The Slayer,

"Hey, big, and stupid!" Caleb yelled, lighting his aerosol can and throwing it at the Grimm's chest,

"Why don't you lighten up," Caleb grinned, but his moment was short-lived, as the Wendigo rushed forward, still blazing, and pierced Caleb's abdomen, the Gunslinger gasped at the pain and the Wendigo threw him off, letting him roll through the street, The Wendigo leered down at the teen in front of it, unbeknownst to it, was Jaune throwing Crocea Mors from the doorway.

Marcus grinned and pointed upward with a finger, and it's head snapped up to see a white and gold blade pierce it's face, it's final shriek, a deafening cry cut off when Isolation's blade severed the beast's head.

The fog evaporated almost instantly and Marcus stood there before Crocea Mors and tossing it back to Jaune. Marcus stumbled over to Caleb, who began eating he could only realize were human hearts, and picked him up. Caleb wheezed, "Son of a bitch got my lungs," but after a minute his breathing eased, and Marcus set him down next to Will as a cacophony of yowls echoed through the town.

"Goddamnit," Marcus cursed, "Fucker was a signal flare for Grimm,

"Hey, got this from Taras Nabad," Will said, injecting him with a golden liquid, it seemed like a mixture of putty and soda.

"Mixture from the Divinity Machine, surprised me the damn thing worked, found a couple samples for testing,"

Marcus nodded and slapped a fresh magazine into Defiance, letting it hang from its strap, drawing Regret and Acceptance, charging forward, gunfire flew past his shoulder as Ruby Pyrrha and Trent fired from the roof, thinning the horde significantly, but they still overwhelmed Marcus after a minute, even with the shot, he still fell and kept fighting, and in a last ditch effort, he unslung Defiance and fired the new underslung grenade launcher, utterly destroying the horde, waking at least 2 city blocks and sending him careening backward, skidding on the asphalt, blacking out as he rolled to a stop.

—————————————————————

He awoke screaming, eyes searching frantically,

"Hey! Shut the hell up in there, ya stupid bastard,

That shocked him out of his funk and he looked around,

To see himself in yet another cell, a cell in a wooden building, and for a minute, he thought about lighting it up, but smacked himself, and looked around for other cells,

"Hey kid," a voice spoke across the hallway, "Meals at 5:00, 1:00, and 5 PM, yard times 11-12,"

"Who're you, and where are we?"

"Names Weston, and welcome to the White Fang's internment camp in Mistral,"

"You're kidding?!"

"No, you came in dead asleep, slept for 6 days, they said and woke up today, apparently you were transferred from their Argus branch,"

Marcus nodded, "Thanks Weston,"

"Call me Wes kid,"

———————————————

"Why exactly am I here?" Marcus asked,

"You're here to drink tea and socialize with me," Sienna Khan snarked in reply,

"You really wanna try me, tiger lady, because I am single and open to be tried, also, fuck tea, tea is fucking gross,"

"You a coffee person too?"

"Damn straight,"

"You're here to work to death,"

"Fuck that, I killed a Wendigo a fucking week ago, no,"

Sienna growled and her whip cracked, "Bring out his weapons!" She barked, A White Fang soldier tossed him his guns just as Adam appeared in the throne room,

Marcus watched the exchange and without warning fired 6 rounds off, hitting Sienna's turncoat bodyguards and Adam. As Sienna stood, Marcus fired Regret twice, with the first shot shattering Adam's Aura and the next destroying his head in a spray of gore,

"What are you doing!" Sienna yelled, extending Cerberus Whip,

"I'm getting you, me and the prisoners out of here alive," he snapped in reply, firing at two other guards who proclaimed loyalty to the Kahn. A large group of loyalists joined them in releasing the prisoners and exterminating the defectors. Sienna went to check for any law enforcement and screamed.

——————————————————————

Marcus's Charger drifted through the camp and The Ranger opened fire, the gunfire pinging against the wall was deafening.

"TRENT, FOR FUCKS SAKE, STOP TRYING TO FUCKING KILL ME!" Marcus yelled over the cacophony. Not hearing him, Trent withdrew his Rocket Launcher, after firing a few, Marcus lunged forward, gripping the last rocket fired and chucking it sideways, eyes blazing red and purple,

"I said stop FUCKING TRYING TO KILL ME!" He yelled again, before his breath hitched and he began to choke.

"You really think I'm going to let you waltz out of here? Naive idiot." Sienna spoke, pulling Cerberus Whip tighter along Marcus's neck, drawing the blades into the flesh of neck and drawing blood,

"I just saved your- huuk.. life you fucking snake," he gasped and scrabbled at the chain,

A pale white and grey chain shot from the window of the Charger, and Sienna's grip slackened as she herself began to choke,

Justice appeared behind the door, tossing her sunglasses onto the seat and stalking towards the Faunus, an eerie smile spread on her features, The Awesome Demon reeled a foot back and kicked the High Leader in the ribs, sending her tumbling backwards, Swinging her Whip around toward Justice, the Demon only smirked wider. Without so much as a breath of effort or pain, Justice caught the chain, wrenched it out of Sienna's grasp, and dislocated the Faunus's wrist. As the Demon moved forward, Sienna rolled sideways, grabbing her chain and swinging it toward Marcus letting the blades fly from the chain itself, he dodged the strike to the heart, But as it was, it still pierced his lung. He gasped out of reflex, choking out, "Wha- ho-how?"

"Aura piercing blades," She replied, grinning savagely before Justice began beating her into the ground, finally stopping once Sienna's face resembled a mass of exploded banana, peach, and spaghetti, but fleshy, she stood, grinding her boots along a tree before turning back to see a multitude of firearms trained on her.

Marcus stumbled over, gripping the former Prosecutor's shoulder, and they began stumble-walking back to the car.

Laying him down first, Justice set his face on her thigh and he drifted off,

So this chapters done, and I'll start the second part today as well but I have some news,

Good news is, while school's starting up again, I'm staying home for it,

Bad news is, I have to do 6 and 1/2 hours of schoolwork a day, but I can get it done whenever, but updates will be slower, sorry guys an gals, school comes first.

Hopefully Pt 2 will be out later this week,

Love ya peeps :)

(Also, the next few chapters [proly, XII to XV-XVI] {meaning 12 to 15-16} will put a hiatus on moving the story forward and try to focus on the characters and their relations with Marcus, as I've neglected the backstory of them, [mainly RTRO, plus, I feel as if this story is moving way too fucking fast,)

Have a good one, stay safe :D
