(Flashback)
An ear shattering scream of a black winged female Faunus echoed through the abandoned village as a man, covered in White Bone-like Knight Armor tightened his grip on her neck all the while sending a surge of blood energy through her. With each passing moment, the female Faunus's screams began to slowly die out as only gasps of desperation were leaving her mouth. Lying on the ground were three badly bruised teenagers, a male with black hair and cat ears, a female with abnormally long black hair and purple eyes and the male in the center, with white hawk wings, white hair, and red eyes. They all looked up in horror as they struggled in futility.
???: "Celeste!" The ravenette female cried out for her teammate as she weakly held her arm out to her.
Faunus Male 2: "Damn it...! Let her go!" The male cat Faunus hissed at the aggressor, with him gritting his teeth and bearing his fangs. As for the final person of the group, the Winged Faunus male, he slammed his fists against the ground and looked up to Celeste, then at the attacker.
??? 3: "P-Please... Please I'm begging you. Let her go. It's me you want, isn't it? Then take me!"
???: "Dairoku!?"
??? 2: "What are you saying you dumbass!?" His two teammates looked at him in shock while the Knight glanced at him slowly.

Knight: "Oh?" He promptly dropped Celeste to the ground, who laid there limply. The other female of the group instantly managed to crawl her way to her and felt a faint pulse from the Winged Faunus Female. Then she and the other male watched as the Knight approached their leader, Dairoku and crouched down before grabbing him by the back of his head and slowly lifting him to stare into his eyes, with his glowing red ones. "You'd sacrifice yourself for that girl over there?"
Dairoku: "I'd do anything. So long as she and all of them are safe from the likes of you." He said without any hesitation and with pure resolve and gritted teeth. The Knight stared at him before he let out a noise, that almost sounded like a laugh as he let go of his head, causing Dairoku to grunt.
Knight: "I like that look in your eyes, boy. Very well. I shall choose you to be my adversary in our duel."
Dairoku: "Duel...?" He watched as the Knight's smoky black cloak suddenly create a sword out of thin air. He tossed the sword in front of Dairoku and took a step back.
Knight: "Take up the sword and duel me. If you defeat me, I'll allow you and your little team to go freely. However, if I win, I'll take you up on that offer and take you with me. Mother surely would love to have a couple of words with you, son of Sparda."
