Hawk Branwen has left his mark on countless worlds. Each one showing him that after everything he had done that there was still humanity within himself. But what of the world he left behind? What of the world he was born and raised on? What of the R...
Towering over New Beacon is the Schnee Military Company HQ, known as Weiss Fortress. The building is named after Winter's sister, who died fighting against Hawk. The tower itself is equivalent to an entire military's worth of weaponry and staff designated specifically as security. Standing at a total of 175 floors, Weiss Fortress stands as a monument to the progress the four kingdoms can accomplish when cooperating.
Walking through the bright blue hallways of the upper floors is both Winter Schnee and her assistant/hacker Neopolitan. Neo is holding a tablet-like scroll broadcasting the destruction that M.G. Rey caused. As they walk through a large door flanked by four guards, the two enter into a large office area.
The office is a large rectangular room surrounding a large office table that serves as a display table. On the opposite side of the entrance door is a thick black wall that lights up to mirror the outside.
Neo flicks up from her table to display the new report on the display table. Winter looks at the recent news with a mix of anger and disappointment.
Winter: "I told them to deal with them, not destroy my city!..*sigh* Where are they now, Neo?" Neo begins to type up on her tablet before pulling up two heart monitors.
Neo: "The vigilante and the half-demon are currently sleeping above the lab. W01-4 is inside the lab at the current moment on standby. The last two are...." She stops speaking as her face turns to visible anger.
Winter: "Neo? What is it? Where are Summer and Ace?" Neo groans in annoyance and anger as she pulls up both Summer's and Ace's heart monitor readings.
Neo: "Based off of their cybernetics reading their heart rates. The readings and positions indicate they are currently participating in sexual intercourse with one each other...bastard."
Winter: "...Well...at least he got her accustomed to this word. But damn...I guess I owe V some money. To go around this topic, how is our experiment holding up?"
Neo: "Judging from the recent test, the mental suggestions are doing their job. It should be ready for trial runs by tomorrow."
Winter: "Good, good...Neo issue the pull-back order for the foreign units. I'm initiating operation LORD OF CINDER."
Neo: "Wait?! Are you sure? If we do this, you'll be sacrificing everything you built. And for what?" Winter walks over and types on a tiny keypad which causes a small injection canister to rise up from the floor.
Winter: "Power, Neo. Power." She states as she takes the injection canister and injects herself with a black substance that seems to move through her body and settles where her heart is. "Inform the scientist to ready the project for release and tell them I'm on my way down."
Neo: "Y-yes, mam." She begins to type up something on her tablet as she follows Winter back through the door.
The Next Day
Ace and Summer exit off the bus in front of the large apartment complex V's lab is located under. Walking up to the entrance, their fingers are interlocked as a tinge of red is on Summer's cheeks. The two shared a rather sensual time together last night as they confirmed their love for one another. While Summer is quite embarrassed by the night prior, Ace walks with a level of calm and a slight smile on his face. Making their way to the elevator to take them to V's lab, they see Nero and Velvet waiting at the elevator. Nero spots the two and chuckles a little before handing what appeared to be 50 lien to Velvet, who smiles.
Velvet: "Morning, you two. How'd you sleep?" Summer's cheeks grow redder in color.
Ace: "Perfectly fine. Best sleep I've had in a while."
Nero: "Yeah, I bet. We're just waiting for Wolf to open the door for us." As he says this, the elevator opens to reveal Wolf inside.
Wolf: "Good morning, everyone. I detect from Miss Rose's and Mr. Ace's cybernetics that they've had sexual intercourse in the last 8 hours. I suggest using protection as to prevent any unwanted pregnancies." Summer's face instantly turns a dark red as Ace coughs in surprise.
Nero: "Ok! Let's forget this happened and go do our job. Please and thank you." They all went into the elevator and went back down to the lab.
Entering into the lab, they all see V watching the large screen as he sees two red dots near the city's downtown area.
Ace: "Morning, V. I see you're up and at 'em. What do you got for us today?"
V: "Good morning, Ace. I see you're in a good mood. Anything special happen, hm?"
Nero: "He and Summer banged last night, so he's obviously in a good mood."
V: "Ah. It seems Winter owes me some lien. But I'll handle that later. Anyway, today I have a...different kind of mission for the five of you."
Summer: "Does it have anything to do with those red dots."
Nero: "Yeah, and judging by where they're located, it looks like they're at a bar I frequent."
V: "Well, then you'll have to show the group the quickest way there as these two dots represent a possible major threat to the city if not handled properly. And while I could've passed this info onto Winter, I wanted to see what the five of you could do now that you all have properly worked together."
Velvet: "Well then, what are we waiting on? It's a 2v5! What do these two targets look like?"
V: "That I don't know. But if my intuition is correct, you'll know them when you see them."
Ace: "And what kind of job is this V? Are we arresting or disposing of them?"
V: "If you can bring them here, but if worse comes to worst...don't die."
Nero: "That's ominous."
Wolf: "I suggest we make our way towards the targets so as not to jeopardize our chance at detaining them." The rest nod as they make their way out of the lab.
V exhales as he sits in a chair, eyeing the two dots on the screen. Beside him, an ethereal blue being forms, standing next to the chair.
???: "Why hide the identity from them? You could be sending them to their deaths."
V: "Would you have gone if you knew who it was? Am I correct in assuming not, Vergil?"

Vergil: "I suppose so. But you and I both know that if she's planning what we think she's planning, then we're going to need his help. If we like it or not."
The two look up to a red message appears on the front of the screen. It flashes DEMONIC ANALYSIS COMPLETE. The message then transitions to labeling both dots belonging to Hawk Branwen.
