The Conquerors bloodline

Chapter 167: Halled

"Lili, Ferry, Wait please!" Blake called out to the backs of the two girls drawing their steps to a halt and turned to face her. Ferry's one of confliction while Lili's was a constant irate scowl.

Quickly bringing herself up to them, Lili spoke first, "guess you're here to apologize on Weiss' part aren't you?" a voice of laden derision oozed from the girls lips.

Blake flinched but shook her head. As much as she wanted to say sorry for everything Weiss had done she knew it wouldn't make her happy. "No, if Weiss wants to apologize she's doing that herself. I'm just here to make sure you're okay," Blake glanced around the hall seeing it was empty.

"I'm perfect," Lili huffed, "your teammate is just annoying."

A chuckle escaped Blake, "yeah, I know. I've been stuck in the same room as her for a week now and she's a nightmare sometimes." Though not as loud as Yang who snores or Ruby who is about as hyper as child on sugar cubes.

"I can guess. Now what do you want Blake? I don't have a lot of patience right now."

Blake sucked in a sharp breath, "I just I want to learn more about you two, hear about those things that happened and maybe help you a bit-" Lili's eyes narrowed, "-if of course you want it. That is."

"You want to help me get over being enslaved and raped?" Lili sighed and Blake flinched.

"If-if I can."

The Raccoon faunus went silent, her eyes sharp as she glared at Blake sending spikes of nervousness down her spine. Ferry on the side was flicking her ears side to side in silence glancing between the two as she fumbled with her plaid red checkered skirt.

Crossing her arms, Lili finally spoke, "and how would you know how to help me? You have some psychiatry training or are you just a goody two shoes F.R.A thinking that just because you sympathize with us faunuses that you can immediately treat any fuck ups we have in our heads?"

Blake went silent, her lids opening wider revealing her amber eyes even more while her lips parted in shock. That was not the response she was expecting. "I-" she attempted to say but paused to look around and see the hall was empty still. "I'm also a faunus," she leaned in and whispered. Her bow flicking a few time to prove her claim. "I know what your going through and while I haven't had anything like that, happen to me. I know people who have. Friends. So, I can help you just like I did the-"

"****." Lili burstout with her cheeks going red in anger. "Don't skirt around it Blake. The word your looking for is ****, not 'that.' Don't skirt around the facts, I'm not a baby, I don't need you coddling and protecting me from words." Lili threw her gaze to Ferry, "let's go." They turned and began to march away, Ferry glancing back to Blake mouthing 'sorry,' just as they turned the corner.

Her mouth hung wide, her entire body stock still. "I should have waited a bit longer," Blake groaned and rubbed her temples. Lili was still heated after that encounter with Weiss so it should have been obvious that any attempt at trying to help would only go negatively for her. Turning about to make her way to the cantine where she was guessing her bag still was, she mumbled, "I'll try again tomorrow." Reasoning that maybe having a day to vent herself of her anger would be enough that she'd be more open to Blake's assistance.

"Ohh, the brats a little pissy. What, did mommy not let you suckle her tit this morning."

Blake steps halted, her bow twitching as she caught the faint, hateable voice of Cardin Winchester coming down the same route Ferry and Lili had just gone down.

"Fuck off Cardin. I'm not in the mood."

Hearing Lili's voice was all Blake needed to kick off the ground and fall into a straight on sprint to stop Carding before he could ruin her chances of helping her faunus sisters anymore than it already was.

"Don't mouth off to me brat," a slapping noise and thumping of a body hitting the floor sent shivers down Blakes spine.

"Lili!" she heard Ferry cry.

"Oh shut up you animal," Cardin growled the donkey faunuses way. "I'm dealing with the brat, I'll deal with you later." Rounding the corner, Blake gazed on the scene, Lili sat on the ground holding her reddened cheek. Cardin squatted just before her with a cruel smirk as his teammates held back Ferry. The three boys of Russel Thrush, Dove Bronzewing, and Sky Lark, all egocentric human supremacists with a distaste for the Faunus kind.

"Look, rat," Cardin smirked, "I don't know how you got in here. Not by any fair means, that much I'm sure of. And frankly, I don't care. But now, if you and your little friend here want a peaceful life here, I'll more than happy to give it to you. See, we've been looking for target practice, these dual's Goodwitch has us going through are dull, so we've decided to go looking for something more fun. You and the donkey are going to be our targets from now on, okay?"

Rage congealed in Blakes eyes, "Cardin get away from them!" she screeched rushing the four boys.

Ferry who had her arms held by Russel and Dove turned her head but swiftly turned back to Lili after hearing a light whisper with her sensitive faunus ears. 'Take them out,' Lili had said, sending a nod Ferry's way as she dug beneath her skirt to grip the handle of a dagger she'd had hidden on a strap on her thigh. Ferry gulped, a little nervous but sent a nod back.

Cardin lifted his head and Russel's grip loosened as he too turned to see the fast approaching, furious face of the B of RWBY. The slight moments of distraction allowing for Ferry to rip her hand from Russel's grip, lift her jacket just a bit. Enough that she could grip the woody, brown handle of her whip and tear it away, unfurling a length of green vine laced with a few thorns that weren't cutting her as she pulled it out due to her aura defending her, right at the tip a large, yellow spear was connected to the vine.

With a flick of her wrist she sent the whip snaking through the air to wrap around Russel's neck and hurl him Sky's way. Sky not dodging as he had barely a second of comprehension of the frantic expression of his green mohawked teammate flying his way, colliding with a loud crunch as skull met skull.

"What?" Dove uttered, processing the sudden disappearance of his teammate from Ferry's side, by the time he did finally figure out what was going on, Ferry's whips had coiled like a venomous snake around his ankle and threw him skywards before coming smashing down into the earth, cracking it and forming a Dove shaped indentation.

Blake's stride paused, in just seconds three of team CRDL had been put downthough not quite out of the fight as they were raising to their feet groaning and sending hateful eyes Ferry's way,

"S-sorry!" Ferry said clenching her whip to her chest, "I-I didn't hurt you did I? I haven't fought human's before so I was trying not to hurt you." Ferry truly hadn't fought human's before. The time they'd spent travelling to Vale with Summer and Parc had been peacefull, the first bit of peace she'd ever had. It was strange, but comforting that she didn't have to worry about Grimm at all.

"What the hell!?" Cardin shot to his feet at seeing his team thrown about like dolls. His attention fully taken from Lili. Something he was quick to regret when Lili too burst from the ground, her dagger glimmering in the hallways light as she brought the tip piercing towards his face.

Carding caught the sight of its approach in the side of his view, his head lurched narrowly avoiding the rapidly approaching blade while simultaneously kicking away Lili, sending her soaring to the wall where a red glow grew around her legs forming into those of a kangaroe that kicked off sending her soaring like a rocket towards the boy.

"Shit!" Cardin grunted and leapt to the side hoping to avoid the fourfoot missile. His dodge was for naught as while she glided past, a spiders leg tipped with a jagged, sharp end apparated on Lili's back and spiked towards Cardin, hitting him square in the chest and sent him flying towards his crew.

Lili skidded along the ground, having to roll once and then twice before bouncing to her feet beside Ferry who was worried they'd hurt the boys. Ferry sighed, thankfully seeing no blood pouring out of the boys as they lifted themselves up.

Cardin was huffing, rage in his eyes, "oh, you two fucked up." He growled, "Get em boys! These animals need to learn their place!" he threw his hand towards the two, initiating the four to start sprinting at the two faunuses.

They steadied themselves, Lili whispering to Ferry, "don't hold back. They're as good as grimm." And prepped their weapons to attack.

Off to the side, Blake was left agape. Unexpecting to see such a scene. Her ear twitched and three sets of footsteps echoed below the hastened ones of the six persons coming from behind. By the time she'd turned her head to face the approaching three a gust of wind shot past her leaving darkened feathers fluttering to the earth.

Before realizing who was even there, her head turned back, following the gust hearing sharp slicing noises and pained groans as the members of CRDL were all sent flying. There, stood in the hall was a dark clad man, dressed in a white undershirt and brown military type boot, his hair as dark as a ravens and eyes as red as blood. His back to the four groaning members of CRDL, facing Lili and Ferry whose entire bodies detensed.

"Good work you two." Parc Evans, their new teacher said.

********************************

Right, as per the usual with me, I'm doubting whether my intentions for Parc's homeworld is correct or not.

I like Danmachi and all that, but I'll just ask, is this something you'd actually like to see or is there some other world you'd prefer? I know Highschool DxD has been requested, but I'll let you guys toss out suggestions.

Just a quick reminder about whats happening in Parc's homeworld, its modern (mostly, theres phones, cars, etc) but creatures like angels and demons exist. That's really the only things I have in stone about the world (including the Valkyries that make up Parc's mother and aunt.)
