"What are we looking for again?" a guard on one of the towers asked his partner, night having long since fallen over the Schreien forest.

"A boy, teen, white hair, use blanks or tranqs, we need him alive for the job" his partner explained, "How did you forget this already? We had briefing like ten minutes ago"

"Hey, it's not my fault I have terrible memory, you can blame Gehirn for that and his stupid experiments" he retorted.

"Yeah, yeah, I know, crazy f.u.c.k of a boss, what did he do to you?" he asked.

"Asshole tried to take my brain out and stick it in a Panzer! Luckily, when he drilled through it's head it died, otherwise I would have become a walking abomination!" he shivered in disgust at what could have been his fate.

"Jesus, he really is insane"

"Oh, you know i- what was that?" the guard said as he heard rustling coming from the forest his rifle raised up and pointing towards the rustling bushes, his partner doing the same, both of them locked onto the still rustling bush as a figure fell out of it, collapsing onto the ground.

Both their eyes widening as cruel grins formed on their faces as they peered down at the woman who was kneeling on the ground outside the wall, her clothing shredded and blood trickling out her arm.

Both the guards shared a glance as quickly began to run down the towers staircase, opening the metal door that allowed them to exit into the forest and not the base, both walking up to the woman, who was staring at them, tears on her face, along with relief as the two men walked up to her, both their rifles pointing into the forest behind her searching for any grimm.

Seeing nothing coming the two men lowered their rifles and looked to the woman, cruel grins on their faces as they grabbed her arms and began to drag her into the tower. Yet before they could get to far they began to hear a strange, ethereal song which drilled into their minds.

"What… the… fu…" before they could even say anything they both collapsed onto the snow, releasing the woman's arms, who began to giggle and float off the ground, her wounds and torn clothing disappearing without a trace as she returned back to the forest where Arthur was already walking towards her.

Throwing her arms around Arthur's neck Siri began to rub her cheek onto Arthur's who smiled and gently pat the back of her head, "Well done, let's get them inside before anyone notices, can you cloak me?" he requested.

Soon feeling the sensation of water flowing over him as his body disappeared, only leaving behind waves wherever he was still standing, whilst Siri didn't even leave that behind as she simply disappeared into the wind.

"Can you pick that one up? I'll carry this one" he asked, his voice also turning slightly echoey from Siri's illusion.

Siri quickly swam her way to one of the guards bodies, her claws gripping at his neck as she not so gently threw him forward a few feet towards the tower entrance before repeating the same thing until the guard not so gently collided with the staircase inside the tower.

Arthur chuckling at Siri's lack of care for the guard lifted his own one onto his shoulder and began to walk into the tower, shutting the door behind him leaving only impressions in the snow of where they had been.

"Okay, Siri, could you go to the top of the tower and make an illusion that these two are still on duty?" he requested, "I've got it from here" he smiled to her, getting a quick salute as she swam herself up the staircase filling it with mist which dissipated revealing the two men chatting with each other as they regularly lifted their weapons whenever they heard something.

Seeing Siri gone Arthur kneeled in front of the two men, his hands rummaging through their pockets and removing any weapons or items they may have had on them whilst also tying them up with ropes he found just under the staircase.

Though he didn't really expect them to awaken any time soon as Siri's song tended to knock someone out for a few hours if they weren't disturbed.

[T-23, any sight of the boy, over], the voice of a man came through the radio of one of the men, Arthur quickly grabbed it and pressed the button to transmit his voice.

"Nothing yet, just a woman came stumbling out of the forest injured" Arthur began to laugh like he was having fun, "Over"

[The hells a woman doing out here? Over] the man on the other side asked.

"Don't know, don't care, but we're gonna have a fun time, so don't bug us, over" Arthur scowled as he said that, disgusted by even the mere idea of someone doing that.

From the radio Arthur could hear the man laughing, [You two enjoy, remember to toss her into the pen when you're done, we're running low on 'morale enhancers'] the man laughed wildly.

Arthur's hands clenched tight around the radio rage on his face as he pushed the button and said, "Roger, over and out".

[Over and out] the man responded.

Once he was done Arthur's hand crushed the radio enraged by the mans words, they have a pen, not for cows or pigs but people, he had already had a low opinion of them when he saw what they did to the woman in the cave, but now? Now he was angry.

"Calm, Weiss first, then I can try to help them" He mumbled to himself.

[Ohren to Gehirn, the target has entered the base and is currently within T-23, both Augen are assumed compromised, over]

Chuckling Gehirn pressed a key on his keyboard, "Understood, sending Knochen to intercept" he replied as the screen in front of him changed to showing Tower-23 where he saw the door to it open and… nothing came out except what looked like heavily distorted air, "Hmmm…" he hummed, fl.i.c.k.i.n.g a switch on his keyboard that turned the image to infrared now revealing a humanoid figure walking away from the tower, hiding behind every thing he could so as to not break his camouflage.

Chuckling Gehirn said, "Gehirn to Knochen, your friend has infiltrated the base he's leaving T-23, he has a form of active camouflage, unsure if its one of his supposed dust mixtures or his semblance, pick up an I.G and you'll find him" he ordered, not waiting for Knochen to respond before he exited his seat and walked towards the cages behind him, stopping in front of a large bird cage within which a large, taller than Gehirn, owl grimm was resting atop a bar.

It's feathers black with red edges, it's talons long enough to pierce through the entirety of a man's body, while it's mask resembled the face of a barn owl, with red marking creating a tear like effect on it's mask which also flayer out at the top giving it something resembling horns.

"If only we didn't need to keep him alive…" he sighed as he looked upon the grimm with a smile, as it returned it's own gaze to him with a squint before turning away from him.

____________________________________________________

"Something's wrong…" Arthur mumbled as he looked around the courtyard finding not a single soul in sight, as he got closer to the compound Arthur stopped in front of the large hangar doors which were letting out a rattling noise as the began to scrap open along with a grinding noise of gears and pistons.

Once the doors had opened Arthur knew that they knew he was here, behind them he saw pitch blackness, except for three small blue lights staring at him, "I see you" Arthur heard a familiar man's voice.

"I should have expected it would be you, escort asshole" Arthur said

"It's Knochen, and because of you, I don't get to break the bitch" Knochen growled as the dark hall suddenly lit up with flashes as he fired his rifle at Arthur, revealing him in a dark skin tight suit with white Armour on his entire body, but nothing to enc.u.mbering that it could alter his movement.

On his head he also wore a pair of goggles which had the three blue lights on them. And finally dotted around his entire body was a large amount of weapons, on his back a single longsword, on his h.i.p.s two shorter blades with triggers, most likely guns, on his legs and around his arms numerous small daggers he could throw and wrapped around his wrists were two small pistols with a belt of bullets wrapped around his arm.

Arthur quickly jumped to the side behind the wall cutting Knochen's line of sight from him, "Her names Weiss! And she is not meant to be broken!" Arthur shouted.

"I don't care! Do you know how difficult it is to find such a nice piece like that! If only I had found her!" Knochen screamed as he ran through the doorway his longsword grasped in his hands as he sent a swing to Arthur's neck.

Only to be blocked as Arthur raised his arm and blocked it, his aura making a shield around his arm to defend himself, surprisingly the blade barel did anything to him, even though the force of it pushed him against the wall cracking it from the force.

"Then I would have gotten to f.u.c.k her and teach her to be like the woman SHE IS!" he screamed, releasing the longsword and jumping away from Arthur, his gauntlets firing at him causing the belt around his arms to quickly deplete.

Arthur only defence was to lift his arms to defend himself as he was peppered with shots, that once again barely did anything to his aura, "Blanks?" he muttered, fl.i.c.k.i.n.g the bullets off himself.

"Tsk" Knochen growled, "F.u.c.k.i.n.g no kill rule" he growled grabbing the two blades on his waist and charging Arthur.

"So, you're after me? What is Weiss then!?" Arthur shouted as he ducked under Knochen's attack, quickly pulling out his spear and slashing at Knochen's c.h.e.s.t, leaving a scar in his c.h.e.s.t piece, surprising him, "No aura?" he muttered.

Growling Knochen took steps away from Arthur once again peppering him with shots from his bladed pistols, which Arthur returned in turn with his spears own gun as they both ran around each other, knocking each others shots out of the air, and those they couldn't they dodged, and if even that didn't work, Arthur would take the shot while Knochen did an even more exaggerated maneuver to escape the attack, not wanting to get hit once again.

"Why fight!? You could die! So much easier than I can!" he shouted as he charged Knochen, his balde swing and mid swing pressing the button causing the blade to swing outwards with even more force than just his normal swing would have and surprising Knochen as the point of the spear once again collided with his armour cutting through it easily even scratching Knochen's skin underneath causing him to begin to bleed

"Why not!?" Knochen began to chuckle, "It's so much fun!" he began to laugh, firing even more shots at Arthur while laughing like a mad man.

"This is taking to long" Arthur mumbled, worried about Weiss, not wanting anything to happen to her, and if this was the average type of person here, then just what would be considered different?

"I'm sorry" Arthur sighed, his expression hardening as he pulled out his air dust crystal he still had and filled it with his black aura turning it a dark green.

"But I need to get to Weiss" he sighed and quickly jumped back and turned around beginning to run towards the entrance into the base.

"I'm not letting you get away!" Knochen screamed as he charged after Arthur, rage in his voice as he have a war cry, soon stopping as he saw Arthur throw the dark green dust crystal towards him, landing just in front of him, not doing anything.

"This is the dust they told me to be careful about!? Hahahaha! F.u.c.k.i.n.g useless!" he shouted and began to run towards Arthur once again, only stopping when he heard a shattering noise, as he soon found his gaze flying through the air, pain racking his entire body, his gaze slowly turning black as the last thing he saw was Arthur staring at him with cold eyes his head turning away as he began to run into the depths of the compound.

"F.u.c.k.i.n.g… Hunters…" Knochen muttered, blood trickling out his mouth as he landed on the ground, his eyes still open as he passed, his arm that had been cut off by the altered air dust, which turned incredibly sharp and exploded sending scalpel like air blades that left scars through the yard and the compound walls, falling in front of his still open eyes.

"Oh, goddammit" Gehirn g.r.o.a.n.e.d as he watched the video of Knochen's last moments.

Pressing a button on his keyboard he began to speak once again, "This is Gehirn! Knochen is dead, I repeat, Knochen is dead! Arthur Fielder has infiltrated the base! Stay out of the halls!" he shouted, sa he released the button, ending his compound wide message.

Watching Arthur running through the halls on his monitors Gehirn began to chuckle, "Let's see how you deal with this" he laughed as he stood and pulled a lever on the wall, "Enjoy"

"Oh, honey! You're already making me excited" she began to squirm, her arms wrapped around her body as she squeezed her c.h.e.s.t and threw her hand between her legs beginning to play with herself.

Whilst Weiss was doing her best to drown out the m.o.a.ns coming from atop the mech, luckily, Blut hadn't done anything to her yet, that being her only form of relief even after she had heard and even seen how Blut broke her other 'toys'.

'Arthur… hurry…' she pleaded, her tears having long gone dry as she ran out after her time in this nightmare.
