Atlas.
The kingdom of the North.
Atlas is the leading head in technology and their army protects all of remnant.
When really, the atlesian military, and the head of atlas, use it to form a tyranny over remnant.
Atlas practically owns the world.
And i, a faunus am currently standing on the tallest point of atlas.

I was standing ontop of the cct tower, looking down at the people of atlas.
Using a pair of binoculars I got in mistral, I gazed down upon the night time population of atlas.
Just a bunch of rich people who haven't had to fight a day in their life.
The dark knight sky and the moon behind me, giving me the perfect cover for this operation.
During my trip to atlas, I experimented what my newly unlocked semblance could do.

My semblance wasn't simple electricity, lightning, or thunder, my semblance is energy.
I tested out what I could do with my semblance and found out I can make glyphs, and create weapons out of it.
I can turn into electricity and escape through electronic devices or power ports, And I can fly.
I focused on one man inpeticular.
He was being heavily guarded by atlesian knights and 3 other people.

2 of the people following him where random huntsman, and 1 white haired girl who looks to be 16 years old.
Perhaps she's shadowing one of the huntsman protecting general falconclaw.
They walk into the building across from me.
I smirked and pulled out a mask, putting it on my face.

I then jumped off the cct tower.
I was free falling towards the building, and was aimed at one window in particular.
I smashed through the window, and rolled so I didn't get hurt.
I was right infront of the group.
The atlesian knights aimed their rifles at me.
I unsheathed my knife and held it in a underhanded position.
They opened fire on me, but I swung my knife and did various flips, cutting through the bullets.

As I cut through the bullets, I was gathering up energy.
After 1 minute of cutting through bullets, I rushed forward at the knights at a extremely fast speed.
When I reached one of the knights, I jumped up, phasing through it and appeared on the other side of the atlesian knight with its energy core in my left hand.
To say a look of shock came to the general and his 3 protecters faces where a understatement.

I kept phasing through the atlesian knights and taking out their energy cores.
When there was 2 left, I killed one of them but the other had a clear shot and took it.
When the bullet was about to hit, I hit it with the flat side of my knife, sending it back at the knight and going through its head.
I turned to the general and kept my knife in a underhanded position.
One of the huntsman, who was a male, pulled out a gun blade/shotgun weapon.
He shot at me, and there where too many bullets to block, and it was too fast to dodge.
My eyes widen as I sense the second huntsman, who was female, was behind me with her bat raised.
'So I am going to have to use 15 percent of my semblance now' I thought, gaining a Small smile under my mask.
A light blue circuit like pattern covered my entire body, before fading away all at once leaving my body slightly glowing and lightning crackling around me.

The sparks of lightning around me solidified and moved around at such a fast speed, that the bullets where all destroyed before they hit me, and I jumped to my left.
I

t all happened so fast that It took them a second to realize I had dodged.
The girls bat slammed into the floor and I sheathed my knife.
I bounced off the wall and towards the male huntsman.
He raised his gun blade up to hit me, but I spun mid-air and dodged with my right fist was reeled back.
"Detroit.... SMASH!" I exclaimed as I punched the huntsman in the gut.
The force of the punch however, smashed him into the window and he collapsed, efficiently knocked out.

The female huntsman got over her shock, before transforming her bat into a rocket launcher.
'Oh for oum sake' I thought to myself as she fired it at me.
I let lightning crackle through the air as I got even faster.
I jumped to the right, which was towards the general and the other girl.
I unsheathed my knife and threw it at the female huntress.
My knife hit the female huntresses hand, causing her to drop it.
With my right fist reeled back, I went in for a powered up punch.
The white haired girl created a white glyph, blocking my punch, and pushing me back causing me to Land on all fours, like the wolf faunus I am.
The rocket also hit the glyph and it exploded, throwing everyone slightly off balance except for me.
The female huntress had fallen and hit her head on the ground.
The lightning died down slightly as I looked at the glyph.

I looked down and saw my knife.
I picked it up and charged at the general.
The general reached for the katana on his left hip and gripped the handle tightly.
My knife cut through the white glyph, cleaving it in two.
The general unsheathed his katana and swung it at me.
I brought up my knife and blocked it, causing our blades to be locked.
The white haired girl unsheathed a curved sword and swung at me.
I jumped backwards to dodge both attacks.

I stood calmly across from them.
Soon, I calmly walked towards them, almost casual.
The white haired girls eyes where on my knife, while the general's was on my mask.
When I got in attack range, I let go of my knife, letting it fall to the ground.
The white haired girls eyes followed my knife, so I dashed forward quickly and stopped right infront of her, with my hands spread apart.
I slammed my hands together infront of her face, creating a clapping sound that was more of a thunder clap.
It stunned the white haired girl, causing her and the general to be temporarily peralized, but only for a few seconds.
I kicked the girls right knee, causing her to fall to one knee before I also kicked her left shin, hearing a Small crack, making her unable to get up and she collapsed fully.
Lightning formed in my right hand, forming into the shape of a katana.

I swung my katana at the general, causing him to come out of his daze and raised his sword to block.
The lightning around me increased as I got faster, and my attacks got stronger.
The general was blocking the area around his neck and heart mostly, and the speed of my strikes left multiple cuts on his body.
I was gonna land another strike when he went on the offensive with a horizontal slash.
I jumped back and dodged before leaping forward once more.
The general thought I was gonna go for a diagonal slash so he raised to block it, but I plunged my sword through his heart instead.
The general coughed up blood, and the life faded from his eyes.
I pulled the sword out of his chest and dispersed it.

The general's corpse fell to the floor.
I looked over at the unconscious huntsman, and then over at the groggy huntress.
That's when my wolf ears twitched from under my hood.
I heard a feint beeping sound.
I closed my eyes and focused on the sound.
Using a technique that's basically like echolocation, I tried finding the beeping sound.
When I found it, my eyes shot open and I looked at the huntresses weapon.
There was a small flashing red light on the pummel of her weapon, and the beeping was getting louder.
And then realization hit me.
Her weapon is a bat/rocket launcher, meaning she has to have ammo for her rocket.
And her weapon needs a overheating warning.
If her weapon overheats then...
All the rockets will explode.
I raised my hands up and swipes them back down, causing silver claws to come from under my long sleeve shirt and go over my finger tips.

I swung my armor claws in the direction of the female huntresses weapon and string came out of the claw tips and wrapped themselves around the weapon.
I yanked my arms back and pulled the weapon towards me, only for it to detonate between me and the female huntress, blowing up the floor and the wall that leads outside.

The floor started to cave in as the unconscious huntsman, the female huntress, and The white haired girl slid down the now angled hallway and was freefalling.
'Shit!' I thought.
I jumped out after all 3 of them.
There was debris that was falling along with me that would hit the civilian's.

I swung my claws, letting the string wrap around various debris and creating a spiderweb between the buildings to hold them away from the civilians.
I threw string at the unconscious huntsman, the huntress, and the white haired girl.
The string wrapped around their waists and under their arms.
I connected the huntsman and huntresses to the lampposts of the street, stopping them from touching the ground by 2 feet.
I pulled the white haired girl up to me and I caught her princess style before doing a superhero landing.
The civilians where watching and mumbling.
I finally noticed my hood was down, allowing my white hair to blow in the cold atlas air and my wolf ears to be on full display, while my mask kept my face secret.
I layed the white haired girl onto the ground before I stood up, pulled my hood up, and stot some string at a rooftop, and retracted the string, pulling me up there like spiderman with his webs.
