Introductions

Chapter 5, titled "Introductions", is the fifth chapter of the original published version of The OMEGA Subject. It was published on June 18, 2019, on Fanfiction.net.

Summary
The chapter begins just after the previous ends. Apollyon hops down from the wall and into the town proper. He overhears guards talking about the attack, and learns that more Grimm have already been drawn in from the surrounding area. Once the conversation ends, he charges in and begins his slaughter. One of the guards manages to contact others over his Scroll before he is killed as well. Guards from another part of the city arrive and open fire on the OMEGA, but are no match. Once they are all dealt with, a last person approaches. Apollyon immediately realizes this is a "Warrior", or huntsman. After a quick initial strike, the huntsman is forced onto the defensive and reveals his Semblance, creating a pair of clones of himself. He, however, proves to be no match for the OMEGA and is defeated after Apollyon kills him with his own weapon.

Once the huntsman is dealt with, Apollyon hears the roar of another Beowolf and sees that a pack has him surrounded. The Alpha of the pack roars in challenge, and the two fight. The confrontation is swift, and Apollyon is victorious after blinding the Alpha with his venom. Apollyon howls with the pack, announcing their victory over the settlement and the rise of their new Alpha. The scene cuts to the airship on its way to Beacon, full of initiates, as Cyril Ian and Lisa Lavender of Vale News Network report on Roman Torchwick. They then reveal that a pack of Beowolves, led by two Alphas, have razed three villages to the ground. The scene cuts once more to show Apollyon resting with his pack in the Emerald Forest, a short distance away from Beacon. Apollyon decided that, against Cinder's orders, he would journey to the city and learn why she did not want him there.

His thoughts are interrupted by humans being launched into the air, and he decides to join his pack in another hunt. After that, the chapter ends.

Trivia

 * The huntsman Apollyon fights is reminiscent of the Samurai warriors of Japan. The huntsman himself, however, is based off of the For Honor classes Kensei and Nobushi.
 * When Apollyon grips the sword in his mouth, it is a direct reference to Sif the Great Grey Wolf, Artorias' companion from Dark Souls 1 and Dark Souls Remastered. In the games, she is a large wolf that fights the player with a greatsword gripped in her mouth.
