Destruction was all that could be seen for miles. This was a direct result of humans fighting amongst each other. This war was with a group known as faunus, they are human with animal traits. They are not liked by humans for some rather unknown reason. This led to the current war, as man fought faunus, and homes were destroyed, a black puddle of goo appeared in the middle of this fighting. No one payed the goo attention as they were too busy killing each other to notice. What cancels out evil, is a worse evil. This evil has no purpose yet, but the god of darkness shall give it purpose, as well as form.
By nightfall, the battle was over, but the goo remained. And so, under the cover of night, a form emerged from the goo, then another, and another, until there were four creatures, sitting in a defensive formation. They had gear that had never been seen on this world, and they lacked any flesh on their bones. As these skeletons sat and waited, another form emerged from the goo. This one was a man who had tendrils connecting him to the four soldiers. And it was there, in the night, the man was given his name and purpose.
Mako, the necessary evil of the world. He was to find a way to end the war, and save humanity from its self. The god of light aided him by giving him the power of creation. And dark aided by allowing him to use the dark pools as a hub. A place to regroup, rearm, and recover. Should his physical form be destroyed, he would regenerate at one of these pools.
Once he was done with his current task, his next one would be to stop humanity from being destroyed. As Mako fell to the ground, puking up the black goo, the tendrils connecting him to the soldiers disappeared, allowing them free movement. Mako held up two fingers together, and made a, "move out" gesture. The skeletons obeyed and advanced. As they did so, Mako stood up, equipping himself with gear similar to that of his skeleton soldiers, but seemingly more complex. Mako stood up fully, showing his blue eyes. The skeletons before him caught flame at the neck as their eyes began to glow, while their skulls were surrounded by flame. An ember landed on Mako's hand and transformed into a cigarette, the tip already lit.
Mako took a puff of the cigarette and smiled at the smoke entering his lungs. Mako flicked the cigarette away once done with it, and it turned back into an ember. Mako caught up to the soldier, who weren't far away. As he walked up to them, a black uniform appeared on his body, a ballistic vest over this, and dog tags on his neck. His face became masked and the black liquid on his body started to disappear. The skeletons simply scanned their sectors as this happened. A weapon then appeared in Mako's hands.
Else whereA faunus soldier stood guard, bored out of his mind, when he noticed movement from a nearby destroyed building. Peering closer, he couldn't make anything out, but he was sure of seeing someone moving. That's when the he saw a group of people walk out from behind the building. The soldier couldn't believe his eyes. Flaming skulls with glowing eyes. As he watched, one of the skeletons noticed him and pointed towards him. The soldier froze in fear, unable to move. A human also walked out from behind the building, looking over towards the soldier. He moved something on top of his helmet down Infront of his eyes and a small green glow lit up the man's masked face. The man raised his weapon and fired a single shot. The sound didn't bang, but was more of a hiss. The next thing the soldier felt was something tear through his skull.
Mako lowered his smoking rifle and gestured for the skeleton soldiers to regroup. They gathered in a line and marched into the faunus camp, intending to kill the commander. As they made their way to the commander, gunshots rang out, letting both sides know that something was happening. The humans were wondering if another unit had come to help.
The faunus were mortified as their comrades we're mercilessly cut down by undead soldiers. Those who put up a fight were shot, those who didn't were left alone. As the commander tried to organize his forces, Mako entered the tent and, quick as lightning, shot the commander. As the commanders body fell, the skeletons suddenly stopped attacking. Mako simply made the regroup gesture and the skeletons formed up on his position. By now, many of the faunus soldiers were demoralized and felt a primal fear. None of them dared to fight back.
As the shooting quieted down, the humans wondered if the fighting was over, but the night had only just begun. Many people referred to the night as the night of terror. A force so inhuman and so merciless that both sides came to fear it. The war ended four months later, and stories spread around by survivors became something of a fairytale to keep small children in check. The attacker was never found, and the skeleton soldiers with him had also disappeared, back into the pool of black that had spawned them. And now, year later, at a time where tensions are high, the force shall return, to fix the course of human history. Many things had changed in the time in between summonings. The soldiers Mako had under his command had all been upgraded to his level of gear.
But in a forest, at a particular time, in a particular year, another black pool formed. And as the blackened figured emerged, a certain girl was being declared a team leader. The figures all had a single phrase written on their arm, "アク の". Above this phrase was a patch, the patch depicted a scythe with a skull over it.
