I'm back! So, there were several loose ends that weren't tied up in The Devil in I and some ideas that I wanted to put to paper. So, for those who wanted to see this continued, it will but I will not be able to update this nearly as often as before but if you guys have any ideas on what you want from this series, feel free to send them my way. And of course, for those who have not read The Devil in I, read it before this because 1) Lots of spoilers for it and 2) Reading this will most likely just confuse you unless you read it.

The Grey Chapters

Chapter 1: The Dragon's Wrath

"He WHAT?!"

Felix felt the roar before he heard it. There was a unmistakable shake in the floorboards before a certain blonde brawler yelled at the top of her not-too-inconsiderable lungs. Nora burst in the door of their dormroom and shut it quickly behind her, panting with a scared look on her face. Felix was currently lying on his bed surfing the net when this all happened.

"…What's going on, Nora?" he asked cautiously.

"Oh Felix its you," Nora tried to sound cheerful but there was a tremor in her voice that didn't fool him, "Yeah, I was just talking with Ruby and Blake and Yang and… soooooomeone, I have absolutely nooooo idea who maaaaaay have told Yang about what you said about Ruby the first day you and Jaune came back."

What I said about Ruby when I… oh.

I TOLD you that would come back to kick us in the ass.

Shut up, Jaune, I'll get us out of this.

You hit on the toughest girl in school's sister. How exactly do you plan on doing that?

"Easy," Felix pocketed his Scroll and jumped to his feet, then opened the window, "I run,"

There were three loud thuds coming from the door Nora was trying to keep closed. Then the wall beside it exploded and a fuming Yang Xiao Long emerged, "I don't care which of you is there right now. I'm gonna kill both of you!"

"Nice to see you too, hot stuff," Felix winked before dropping out of the window and down three stories. He landed and combat rolled safely and immediately broke into a run. He heard the sound of another landing behind him and knew he didn't have much of a lead.

Pray tell, how is that plan coming?

"Nice… pep talk," Felix panted as sarcastic a reply as he could to the voice of his brother. "Really… inspiring."

"Nowhere to run!" Yang sprinted after the knight, her glowing red eyes fixed on him like some predator seemingly unfazed by the effort of talking and running like Felix was. "I won't let you perv on my sister!"

"Oh… screw this!" Felix skidded and turned, drawing his knife. In the same motion, he used his blade to deflect the incoming punch and landed one of his own. Unfortunately, it was a clumsy shot and instead of catching her in the jaw as he'd planned, he hit her neck. While still a fair shot, it wasn't nearly enough to redirect the brawler's charge and they both sprawled on the pavement.

"Ow," both blondes moaned. Felix was the first up and wasted no time resuming his escape. Only this time, he was interrupted by a cane blocking his path as he was about to round a corner.

"Mr Arcs, I do hope you both are not causing some sort of trouble for my school." Ozpin emerged from behind the wall, for once not with a mug of coffee in his hands.

"Er, no sir," Felix shuffled uncomfortably on the spot. As nervous as he was about Yang, he knew better than to not give the Headmaster his due attention, after all he had done for the two brothers. "Its just that Yang's a bit… she's angry and wants to do horrible things to me right now."

"…"

"…don't read into that, its not what it sounds like,"

"Oh, I'm sure," the grey-haired Huntsman smirked.

"Actually, while you're here, do I have permission to defend myself? You know, in case the staff think I'm trying to kill a student and retaliate?"

"Hmm," the Professor thought the question over, "Miss Xiao Long, you say? Well, I suppose given her semblance and temper, it would be safe for you to match her… enthusiasm."

Felix smiled and said, "Thanks Professor," right as a shotgun-powered gauntlet crashed into the side of his face. The boy flew off once more, closely followed by another blur of gold.

"Ah young love," Ozpin sighed and continued on his way.

Felix tumbled over and over, his head feeling dizzy as he came to a halt, "Oh god…" he tried to steady his double vision. Then a shadowy figure silhouetted in the sun straddled his chest. "Hm, nice view," Felix smiled as he looked at the most prominent feature of his pursuer.

"Enjoy it, since it's the last thing you'll ever see." Yang prepared to bring her fist down on the offending pervert's face, but she had gotten on top of him in such a way that his legs were free. Felix kneed her in the back, hard. Divine Strength was enough to get her to lose her balance and the boy to get free. He drew his sword and knife in time to deflect Ember Cecelia once, then twice, and again and again…

…

After mentally counting fifty-eight punches, Felix realised Yang wasn't going to get tired. He couldn't settle this with attrition, but then again, that wasn't the only way to get a message through the girl's skull. The next punch Felix caught near the hilt of Crocea Mors, but at an angle that overextended the blonde's position. Felix delivered a vicious elbow to Yang's face when she got close and started an attack of his own. Yang was suddenly reminded that there currently were two students that she knew with a stamina to match her own. One was Nora, the other was the boy in front of her.

"My turn, blondie," Felix smiled and delivered a thunderous strike of his sword which exploded the ground in front of Yang and threw her in the opposite direction. Yang's fingers dug into the ground to slow her down and she immediately shot back at Felix. She launched several shotgun shells at the boy but he caught them on his swords and arms. They clashed once more, each fist colliding with a sword and knife, both staring each other down with gritted teeth.

Felix felt his feet slide. It seemed that he was being pushed back, "You sure are strong, Yang," Felix smiled as he used the girl's name for the first time since he joined the student's ranks. He dug his feet into the ground and suddenly, Yang felt the pressure against her fists double, triple, quadruple… she was powerless as Felix pushed her right back, "But we're stronger." With a final push, Felix knocked Yang away and delivered a kick that broke the ground around him. Roaring in laughter, he unleashed Divine Strength and shot the girl away almost a kilometre… or would have had she not smashed into several walls first, diminishing the distance to about a hundred and fifty.

Felix started to laugh uncontrollably, "Haha, wow that was fun!"

Oh boy, now you've done it.

"What?" Felix was a bit peeved at his brother's tone, "I won, why do you sound so depressed?"

Well, two things. One: did you have to break half the school to do it? And two-

Felix didn't catch the rest as a shotgun gauntlet propelled into his stomach, exploding his every nerve. As he collapsed, he heard his brother repeat.

-as I was saying, one does not simply beat Yang Xiao Long.

"I noticed…" Felix moaned, his only conciliation being Yang hadn't aimed a foot lower.

Defenceless now, the brawler readied the final blow, "Time to finish this,"

"…what are you doing, Yang?"

Yang's eyes returned to their original lilac and turned to see her red-cloaked sister, "Oh, hey there Rubes, how's it going?"

Ruby looked down at her sister, then Jaune whom she looked set to punch, then back at her sister, "Why are you trying to kill Jaune?"

"Oh… hey little Red," Felix lifted his head and smiled slightly delusionally at the young leader, "How's it going?" he was answered by a quick jab to his face by the brawler which made him see stars once again.

"Quiet you!" the blonde snapped.

"Yang!" Ruby stamped her foot, "Let him go this instant. You have no right to hurt him."

"One," Yang pointed at the shortened hair, "he had my hair cut, so I have a personal grudge right there. Two, I just heard this pervert likes you."

"So?" Ruby tilted her head.

Yang jerked as if she were punched in the stomach at her sister's innocent words, "Well, he- I mean- he'll take advantage of you!"

"Yang, I'm fifteen and as far as I can tell, as mature as you when it comes to important choices. Are you going to be a hypocrite?"

"I-I mean-" Yang was struggling to form some coherent words in the face of her sister's simple argument. In the end she simply stood there with her mouth gaping open.

Ruby seized the advantage and strode over to the two of them and grabbed Yang's arm to get her away of the boy who was only now returning from his assault-induced delirium, "I will decide what to do with this information, not you, big sis. Now go cool off somewhere. Buy a soda on me or something."

"…ok." Yang's shoulders sagged and she trudged away, quite thoroughly beaten by Ruby.

"Thanks," Felix got up on shaky feet, "I'm pretty sure she was going to kill me, I owe you-" his attempt to put a hand on Ruby's shoulder was met but the little reaper spinning on her heel, grabbing the boy's knife from his hand and pressing it against his neck.

"Touch me without permission and I finish what she started," Ruby said in a terrifyingly sweet voice, beaming with her biggest smile. She retracted the blade and returned it to him, "At least take me on a date first." Ruby passed him and began to walk off, "Hmm… Nope, I'll leave those kind of jokes to Yang." She mused to herself, "Ignore what I said, I don't think I'm interested. At least not right now," she waved back to him, "Bye Jaune, see you Felix," as she left, leaving Felix slightly dumbstruck.

These girls, they're insane, Jaune said.

"Yeah, these girls are perfect," Felix couldn't help but smile, "I love this school."

…Yeah, I'm not going to survive the year with you.

So, there we go, Jaune and Felix are co-existing... sort of. More to come when I have the opportunity and remember, comments and criticisms are appreciated.
