Lush, deep forests, as far as the eye can see...... Where flowers and plants grow thick and verdant.... from the pure coursing river water leading to the crystal blue sea.... this story of KuroiBara...... from the time when life was still abundant.

The citiziens of Kuroibara were now seen interacting with each other about the events that have been happening on Ten no yama, the great mountain of the village of Kuroibara.
Villager:" It's true! I saw it! The mountain was moving!" he said.
Villager 2:" The mountain?!?" he asked in shock.
Villager:" That's right! We were running for our lives from a moving mountain just now!! It was roaring at us!!!!" he said fearful about what has happened and how lucky him and his crew made it alive.
???:" That might be the work of the 'Demon Cat'. You must have anger it." she responded with a smile on her face.
- Mitsuri, Waitress of the Teahouse -
Villager 3:" Hey, you better watch out Mitsuri. You're quite the beuty it would be scary if the 'Demon Cat' came to possess your body." he said in a teasing tone as Mitsuri only response was sticking her tounge out.
This caused the man of the village to laugh.
Villager 4:" Okay, we'll let you in on the secret Mitsuri, but only for you. See the truth is..... We finally caught the legendary eggs we've been looking for. It took us an year of searching. Look at them." he said as he show off the treasure he and his crew manage to find.
Mitsuri was in awe by the six eggs inside of the wooden box.
Mitsuri:" OOh, what can they do?" she asked with sparkles in her eyes.
Villager 5:" Well, we don't know. But, if we take these eggs to the capital, we could get ourselves 5 billion Liens for these." he said with a prideful smile across his face as Mitsuri gasped in shock.
Mitsuri:" 5 billion Liens?!? With that amount you could buy yourselves 3 empires." she said in shock.
Villager 2:" The Grandmaster wants these legendary eggs to display in his palace to see." he said with a smile on his face.
Mitsuri:" A-As a sideshow? B-But, still if you don't know where these eggs are from. Maybe these eggs are of an ancient Divine Beast." she said as she was worried of the origins of the eggs and what this could've caused.
Villager 3:" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Oh, you're so sweet Mitsuri. Maybe these eggs are just for show off because they look pretty." he said laughing about the situation.
Mitsuri sighed before she heard a sound coming from the back as a fron appear on her face.
Mitsuri:" Oh..... just a moment...." she said as she went to the back of the bar to spot someone going through her stuff.
Veins appeared on Mitsuri forehead as she proceeded to overpower the thief.
Mitsuri:" Hatchiko!!!!!!! You were just taking money from my purse again, weren't you?!?!" she yelled angrily at the person named Hatchiko.
Hatchiko:" AAAAAAAAH, stop Mitsuri!!!!!!! Lend your big brother some Liens!!!!!! I'll pay you back!!!!!" he said.
- Hatchiko, Gambler and Thief of the Capital -
Mitsuri:" HOW ABOUT YOU STOP GAMBLING!!!! THAT WOULD HELP!!!!! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY YOU OWE ME ALREADY?!?!?!?!?! THE NEXT TIME YOU TRY TO STEAL FROM ME....... I WILL COLLECT WHAT'S MINE BY SELLING YOUR ORGANS!!!!!! IF YOU CAN'T PAY ME BACK, I'M GOING TO SHAKE YOU DOWN FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT ON YOU!!!! CLOTHES INCLUDED!!!!!!" she yelled as she proceeded to remove her sandal and beat her own older brother with it.
The Villagers that were standing outside the bar sweatdropped.
Villager 4:" W-Well, Mitsuri thanks for the food! We'll just leave the payment here on the table." he said as him and the others left.
However what they didn't know was that Hatchiko heard their little chat about the eggs they have found and he planned to take them.

Hatchiko was now seen jumping roof to roof with the box full of the six eggs with a large grin on his face.
Hatchiko:" Hehehehehehehehe. Did you think I couldn't hear you blabbing on and on?!?! Thanks for the tip oldies!!!!!! These eggs are worth 5 billion Liens!!!! Looks, like today's my lucky day!!!!!! I feel like I just won the lottery!!!! All I have to do is to hand these over to the Grandmaster and the job is done......" he said with a smile on his face.

In the palace of the Shogun of Kuroibara, his assistant informed him on the events happening on the mountain and how many have fallen to the hands of the 'Demon Cat'.
??????:" Well, it seems that the 'Demon Cat' have slayed about 1,306 of our best men. It is amazing, that despite the beast feral temper it didn't kill them. Only left them at the brink of death. Its like a warning to not challenge it. Ken Tetsu was trown off the mountain, Kyo Ken got crushed underneath its paws, Makasu survived the hurricane caused by the beast two tails. " he said as he sweatdropped as the list went on.
???2:" Enough! I've heard enough." he said.
???:" Yes, my lord. The Demon Cat is making us look like a joke. That's how you feel right now, am I right?" he asked to the Shogun.
????2:" Don't send no more of my men. I'll go there myself and end this madness. We already have one beast, a second one is too much." he said.
- Dan Cha, Shogun of Kuroibara-

Hatchiko had now reached the palace of Grandmaster of Kuroibara as he started knocking at the door of the palace trying to get the attention of the Grandmaster.
Meanwhile the Grandmaster was inside of the palace with a evil grin on his face, already expecting for such day to come.
.

At Mountain of Ten no Yama, the Demon Cat was now seen laying in her cave with her aura mixed with blue and black.
The Demon Cat with two tails then got up on her paws and made her way outside of the cave took a deep breath and roar which caused the clouds to come down her way.
The Demon Cat then jumped on the clouds and the clouds started floating to the direction they were told to go.
The Demon Cat was now looking down at the village of Kuroibara with a blank expression on her face before reverting back to her more human form.
Blake sighed as she sat on the clouds and look at the Sun.
Blake then reached up in attempt to grab it, but never could.
Blake:" I'll never be able to go back to you...." she said in sadness referring to a certain Monkey Faunus.
Blake then looked down at the streets of Kuroibara as a smile appear on her face seeing children playing kickball.
Blake then felt the ground shaking as a frown appear on her face as her cat ears were twitching.
Blake:" Hmm?"
.

The villagers were confused by this sudden earthquake and couldn't explain what was the reason for such, until they looked up to see lava bursting out of the palace of the Grandmaster as they got worried for the safety of the Grandmaster until they heard yelling.
Hatchiko:" SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he yelled like a girl as he was grabbing on something.
Blake eyes widen revealing what Hatchiko was holding onto was a Red East Dragon.
The Red East Dragon spat lava out of his mouth that proceeded to cover up most of the village and melt it.
The People started screaming and running to safety.
The Red East Dragon then use his own body to ran over the houses of the village, even opening his mouth to eat them with people still inside of them.
Hatchiko:" Save me!!!!!! Help!!!!!" he yelled while still holding on the Red East Dragon skin.
The Red East Dragon was seen holding the six eggs on his right hand and grinning evilly.
The Red East Dragon then open his mouth and unleashed an energy wave out of his mouth inattempt to destroy the village of Kuroibara, until a wall made of clouds absorb the impact making the Red East Dragon confused.
Blake was now falling down the sky weilding her sword Gambol Shroud.
Blake then unleash a sword cut that generated a shockwave slash towards the Red East Dragon, who manage to react quickly and move his body away from the attack.
However he lost his left horn in the process.
The Red East Dragon glare at Blake whose body started to glow and ended up getting engulf in a huge mass of blue flames.
Blake, now as the Demon Cat of Kuroibara, crashed in the village glaring at the Red East Dragon.
The Demon Cat spun her body and her tails generating a titanic hurricane which made the Red East Dragon gain a smirk as he flew into it and started spinning inside of it.
The Demon Cat then open her mouth unleashing an energy wave out of her mouth which the Red East Dragon replied by shooting his own.
The attacks clash which generated a powerful shockwave which seemingly blew everything away.
When the smoke was clear Hatchiko was seen falling from the sky while screaming before his body ended entering the Demon Cat blue flames.
Hatchiko then opened his eyes and for a brief second saw Blake face before his body got expleled out of the Demon Cat
The Two Tailed Beast was seen standing over Hatchiko and looking at him for a while before she jumped into the sky and disappeared in the clouds.
Hatchiko was in awe and behind him was the other half of the village which luckly was still intact.
The Shogun of Kuroibara was in fact the one who manage to secure half of the village using what the people of that time refer to as the name 'Chi'.
[ A/n: Chi is the energy of the universe. It flows through all living beings and connects us in the mind, body, and spirit.]
.
.
.
.
The Homes and Humans that got eaten were no more and the once safe village of Kuroibara after that tragedy were in despair. Many lives were lost by the sudden attack of the two creatures.
.
.
.
Dan Cha then noticed a piece of Gambol Shroud laying on the floor and pick it up as his eyes glowed green.
Dan Cha then noticed Hatchiko raising back up from the ground as he sent a glare towards his direction..
.
.
.
.
.
The dog who chased after nothing but money and gambling got blamed for this incident, due to the fact that he was the one seen carrying the wooden box containing the six eggs which led to the destruction of the majority of the village.
Hatchiko got banished from Kuroibara and was told to never come back. His own younger sister wasn't allowed to protest against it.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Hatchiko was now seen few weeks later wondering in bamboo forest with tears coming out his eyes.
Hatchiko wasn't crying because he got banished, he was crying because he didn't get the 5 billion Liens.
Meanwhile Blake was seen eyeing Hatchiko while sitting on the clouds of the sky
When night came, Hatchiko was seen resting on the floor as the fire he made was keeping him warm.
Blake decided to drop a bag of Liens so that Hatchiko could've made to the next day.
Instead of being grateful for the Liens that was lend to him and use it wisely, Hatchiko used it to party with girls and drinking booze.
Realizing how foolish he got for using all the Liens that Blake gave it to him, he escape the village so he wouldn't have to pay and stole an horse.
Having done that, Hatchiko kept going around places and causing trouble in each village he got in, never learning his lesson.
It was at the village of Kori that Hatchiko learned true pain as he was now sitting against the wall of an abandoned house, homeless as the people were walking by not even minding him as the cold and the snow were increasing.
Blake decided to shape shift into an human girl and named herself Okina.
In this way she would've made sure that Hatchiko would've make the right choices and wouldn't let Liens chosing for him.
Blake didn't know what she finded him, Hatchiko wasn't like neither Jaune or Sun. This guy loved Liens, not a degree of that of Jacques Schnee, but Liens were sure in his mind for majority of the time and he had a bad habit in losing such Liens over foolish stuffs such as gambling and bettings.
And thanks to Blake, under the disguise of Okina, Hatchiko slowly started maturing... He still loved Liens don't get me wrong, but he started recognizing when he was going too far and manage to avoid situations of temptation.
Hatchiko started venturing more and more into different villages, looking for a place to call his new home, but it didn't feel like it.
However what Hatchiko didn't know is that a bunch of assassins hired by the people he owe a lot of money decided to ally with each other to get rid of Hatchiko.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Hatchiko was now in his own camp eating quite the food as Blake was seen meditating in an hill.
Blake eyes then opened as her aura came out her body, because she sensed the aura of the assassins approaching.
Hatchiko was now seen cowering at the sight of the assasins.
Assassin:" So, you're Hatchiko. A dog that only loves money, but won't repay?" he asked with a mocking tone as Hatchiko was sweating in fear.
Hatchiko:" Y-You guys, come now. In this period, I'm not looking so great." he said with fear.
Assassin 2:" So, we've heard. You got kicked out your village for causing trouble in it." he said as he pulled out his katana, however the next thing he knew he got beheaded in an instant.
The first assassin was in shock as the rest of the Assassins got all beheaded.
The first assassin then felt weight on the top of his head and it was because Blake was standing on top of it.
Blake:" Tell your bosses, that Hatchiko is under the protection of Blake Belladonna ." she said as the assassin was trembling in fear.
.

Back in Kuroibara, which was still rebuilding itself, news about what happened reached them as Mitsuri was relieved that her foolish elder brother was still alive in tears of joy.
The Shogun of the village had a frown under his mask as his assistant was telling them.
Assistant:" My Lord. The Assassins of Kori were defeated by the Blake Belladonna. Their overwhelming strength was enough to put fear on the village!!!!!!!!" he yelled as everyone believed that 'Blake Belladonna' was an organization and its leader was Hatchiko.
Dan Cha:" This 'Blake Belladonna'........ Hmp...... that foolish Gambler decided he wants everyone as his enemy, huh? He won't go so far as he hopes to." he said as he thought that Hatchiko wanted war, when in reality he wanted Liens.
.

.

5 weeks later, Hatchiko was now seen sitting on a throne sweating bullets as below him was an army of his followers.
Belladonna army:" Our Lord Hatchiko!!!!!! Is the Great Shogun of Kori!!!!!!!!! Congratulation Lord Hatchiko!!!!!!!"they all yelled proudly as Blake still undercover as Okina sweatdropped
Blake*whisper*:" T-They got it all wrong." she said as the newspapers messed everything up.
Hatchiko*whisper*:" O-Oh, no. W-Why me?" he said with fear.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
A month passed as the Belladonna army was increasing in number as Blake was worried because just her name alone was altering the timeline.
Blake*whisper*:" Oh, no. What did I do?!? T-This wasn't supposed to happen." she said to herself, because there is one thing those movies Jaune always brought for the team to watch with him....... 'Don't ever screw up with the timeline or consequences will happen'.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
The Shogun Dan Chan realizing that the Belladonna army was becoming too much, to gain advantage in the incoming war he wanted to have with Hatchiko. He asked the help of the Yokais of Zhou Island.
[ A/n: At that time because of their traits Faunus were referred to as Yokais.]

Meanwhile with the Red East Dragon, now in his human form revealing himself to be the Grandmaster of Kuroibara he was now seen walking in an extreme snowing mountain still showcasing the injuries left by Blake when she tapped into her Demon Cat transformation.
- Hono Aku, formerly Grandmaster of the temple of the village Kuroibara-
Aku was carrying the six eggs on a wooden box as he was going to deliver such 'Weapons of Destruction' to his superior.

In Zhou Island, the Faunus were seen living peacefully before Blake in her Demon Cat form made her way in the island making them confuse by her sudden appearence.
Blake then return into her normal self, not as Okina.
Blake:" Hello, brothers and sisters..... I'm here to warn you..." she said as she went on to explain that the Shogun of Kuroibara was going to come there to recruit them by force into his army and it would've been better to leave.
Sadly for Blake, Dan Cha got there 5 seconds later as a angry expression on Blake face appeared.
Blake knew from the history classes that Port told them at Beacon that Dan Cha was the same as General lagune.
She knew she shouldn't mess with time, but seeing the Faunus population in these conditions and the names given to them and the fact that they are viewd as a minor class. Yeah, maybe some stuff are going to change a little bit, after all this man was hunting her down back at the village so, she should return the favour.
Blake turned into her Demon Cat form and jumped towards the ship of Dan Cha who jumped off his ship holding his katana and going directly towards Blake.
