[Location: Mistral Westside docks]

Off the coast of Mistral in the middle of the night, a cargo ship from Vale makes it's way to the docks. As it makes port, a group of armored men walk towards the ship with drawn weapons.

Leader: Alright, the rest of you stay on guard. Donn, you're with me.

A teen wearing a black hoodie with brown hair and green eyes runs up to the raiding leader with the cloak. The two make it to an extending stairway to the ship and climb it. As they make it on board, more soldiers walk out of the bridge and over to them.

Soldier: Greetings, sir.

Leader: Have there been any complications with the crew?

Soldier: No, sir. They're all tied up in an empty shipping container. A blue one marked with an X.

Leader: Excellent. Prepare the rest of the cargo for transport, we'll wipe the ship's black box. Donn!

Donn: On it.

He rushes into the bridge and finds the black box, planting thermite on it and running back out.

Donn: Fire in the hole!

The sound of sizzling can be heard as the bridge lights up for a few seconds before dying down, making his way back to the group leader. As they make it off the ship, the rest getting ready to move the stolen supplies, they hear commotion back at the docks. They rush over to see the soldiers on guard pointing their guns at some hunched over old man with a walking cane wearing a black robe, hiding his face.

Soldier: I'm only going to say this one last time, you senile bastard; Leave. The. Premises!

Elderly: Alright, fine! You can just point me to where it is and I'll walk there. If I don't find it, I'll come back.

Soldier: That's it! Prepare to smell the back of your head!

Leader: What the hell is going on here!?

Soldier: Sir, this old man just showed up asking where our base is and over all being annoying as hell!

Elderly: Nice cape, faggot... Wait. Is that you, Donny boy? Oh, it's good to see you again!

Leader: Donn, explain!

Donn: Don't look at me! My grandpa died five years ago from a heart attack! I don't know who this is.

Elderly: Oh pish posh! You know who I am. After all... You owe me, back in Vale.

Donn:... Sir, I think it would be within our best interest if we took him with us.

The leader looks back at the frail old man.

Leader: And why the hell would we do that?

Elderly: 'Cause I heard about this little group called The Children a few weeks back and I wanted to see what's what.

Leader: I've heard enough. Get him out of here.

Donn: But, sir!

Leader: Don't start! You're already on thin ice after you're last supply run.

One of the soldiers walks up to the old man, gun in hand. He pushes him in the shoulder.

Soldier: You heard him. Move.

Elderly: Hohoho! You wouldn't want to do that, kiddo. I was in the Great War!

Soldier: Ha! Oh really? Were you a little nurse back then?

Elderly: Nope. I started it.

The old man swings his cane at the soldiers head, knocking his helmet off and his face on the ground. He brings his foot up and kicks another in the chest, sending him flying into the waters. Two soldiers raise their rifles only for the old man to swing the cane at one and kicks the other out of their hands. He jumps up and kicks them both in the head, knocking them out. He turns around and places his cane on the leader's neck as he reaches for his gun.

Elderly: Now are you nice boys going to take me to your leader, or am I going to have to keep whooping you hineys?

The leader just stares at the old man as he starts to think.

Raiding leader's p.o.v.

I can't believe I'm doing this... We are making our way back to the Mistral base through the jungle with our newly acquired supplies, and the old man with Donn and I in the vehicle. On the way there, I decided to have a little chat with this Mister Miyagi touch of death guy. Over time I learned that he has fought on both sides of the war 'just for the hell of it', made his own tea, and has a daughter. If it weren't for the fact that she might be eighty as we speak, she sounded like an absolute bombshell back then. What caught my attention is that it seems Donn knows who he is, but when I ask he just tells me to wait. Who the hell is this guy?

Driver: We're here.

Leader: 'Finally.'

We come to a stop and step out of the vehicle, the rest driving deeper in the base. We step out and walk over to the main building where our commander is stationed. We pass by more soldiers that are either training or moving cargo.

Leader: He's right this way. Now listen, do not wander off, you will speak when spoken to, and most importantly-

Elderly: Oh hush up, before I kick you in the gouch. Now, where is he?

I spot the commander off in the distance, wearing a dark gray uniform, walking around the training yard over looking the soldiers.

Leader: Commander, sir!

3rd p.o.v.

The commander turns around and sees his raiding leader, Donn, and an old man walking towards him. He meets them half way as they salute eachother, besides the elder.

Commander: At ease. Good to see you again, Nick, Donn. Was the raid a success?

Nick: Yes, sir. The cargo is being off loaded and our tracks are covered.

Commander: Excellent. Now, who is he?

They turn to the old man, staring at them while he listens.

Elderly:... You look familiar. Who are you?

Joshua: My name is Joshua Ironwood. Now, I ask that you tell me who you are and why you are here.

Elderly: Wait, Ironwood?

Joshua: "sigh" Yes. Ironwood. The same name used by James Ironwood. And yes, he is my brother... Used to be. Now, back to my questions.

Elderly: Huh, small world. Anyway, I am curious about this little religion of yours and wanted to know as to why I haven't heard of you guys for all these years.

Joshua: We are a very secretive group. It would be surprising if people did know about us. Now. Who. Are. You.

Elderly: Oh, where are my manners? Donn, why don't you do the honors?

Donn: Um, sir, this man is... well... he... This is the Father! He has finally arrived!

From that outburst, everyone within ear shot immediately stopped what they were doing and looked over to them. The whole area is silent......... for a second before the air is filled with uncontrollable laughter from all around.

Nick: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Holy shit! Hahahahaha!

Joshua: As hilarious as that is, Donn, this really isn't the time for jokes.

Elderly: Oh no, he's right. I'm the guy you all worship.

Joshua: Look, you seem to be new to all of this so I'll let you off with a warning. Don't go around claiming to be the Father. It's a bit of a taboo that will get you killed around us.

Elderly: Don't believe me? Let me show you.

As the people around continue to laugh, the elderly man raises his cane and smashes it on the ground. The action results in a shockwave that silences everybody around him and sends them flying back as a tornado of smoke forms around him. A few seconds later the smoke settles and what now stands in the center is a tall cloaked being with a mask. He let's out a mighty roar that scares off distant birds.

You: Do YoU bElIeVe Me NoW, mOrTaLs?!

Joshua looks up in shock as the figure leans down to him.

You: So, Be HoNeSt WiTh Me...... How many of you guys just shit your pants from that?

----

A/n: And so, the plot thickens!

Salem: Oh really? I thought we were finally done.

A/n: You know Salem, lately you have been a little more aggressive then usual. Have you been getting enough sleep?

Salem: Oh shut the f-eh, you're probably right. I'm gonna go lay down, and hope there isn't an UNDEAD RABBIT FAUNUS GRIMM HYBRID LOOMING OVER ME WHILE I SLEEP!!!
