'What kind of mad place is this?' Iggy didn't know where he was but he knew he wanted to be far away from here as possible.

Jaune groaned as he rested against the cliff. He can't believe the position he's in. He wanted to be a hunter just like his father and his father before him. He thought he could be an amazing hunter who would also win the heart of all the girls. However, the great hunter to be is now hanging on a cliffside with a with a Javelin through his hood waiting for someone to come help him.

As Jaune looked down with a huge sigh. The second he saw Iggy his eyes went with wide. 'A dog? How is there a dog here?' Jaune was speechless at the sight of how a household pet was just here in this forest. "H..hey buddy," Jaune spoke up. "Think you can help me down from here?" Jaune didn't know why he was asking the dog but when you're just dangling in midair you'll do anything for help.

Iggy sighed as he looked at Jaune. Iggy wasn't sure if he should help him or not, after all he just met him but after seeing him just dangle there he almost felt bad for the loser. However Iggy wasn't about ready to reveal his stand just yet after all he wasn't sure where he was or who he could trust and wasn't ready to risk revealing getting into trouble again.

Suddenly Iggy heard movement in bushes and instantly looked towards to where the noise was coming. "Jaune?" A female voice called out which sounded very similar to what Iggy heard earlier. Then out came a female red haired girl wearing armour. As she appeared she instantly saw Iggy and gasped. "A a dog? What's a dog out in the woods?" The girl approached Iggy and knelt down in front of him. "How did you get here?" She asked Iggy as she rubbed the top of Iggy's head.

Iggy sighed as he knew that the only way he was going to get out of is he played nice with these humans and decided to endure for now until he can find some sort of civilisation and then figure out how to find where the other crusaders are.

"Uh hey Pyrrha… A little help please." Jaune spoke up awkwardly as he dangled against the rocks.

Pyrrha looked from and saw the blonde warrior. Pyrrha had to admit even though she shouldn't enjoy the sight but she couldn't but smile. "Do you have any spots left on your team?" Pyrrha asked playfully.

"Very funny." Jaune replied with a frown on his face. "Hey do you think you can help get me down?"

"No problem." Pyrrha replied as she held up her hand and suddenly a small black outline appeared around her hand which caught the attention of Iggy.

'Wha what is this?' Iggy thought to himself as he observed the haired spartan. Suddenly the javelin began to un wedge itself from the cliff and flew towards her hand, causing Jaune to fall on to his butt.

"Ow!" Jaune yelled in pain.

Iggy glared at Pyrrha as she pulled Javelin towards her. Is she a stand user?' Iggy asked himself. He was now even more troubling situation, not only was he in an unknown area and separated from his fellow crusaders but now he's in contact with another stand user.

"Are you okay Jaune?" Pyrrha asked worryingly as she approached Jaune to help up the blonde warrior. "I should've warned you about what was going to happen." She grabbed his arm and helped him up.

'Well she doesn't seem to be a bad person.' Iggy thought to himself as he watched Pyrrha help up Jaune. 'I better be careful for now.'

"Yeah I'm fine." Jaune groaned as he slowly got up.

He then turned to face Iggy who was currently glaring at them to be more specifically Pyrrha. "Do you know why a dog is here?" Jaune asked Pyrrha while he approached Iggy and crouched in front of him. "Hello little doggy." Jaune said cheerly as he began to pat Iggy much to his dismay however Iggy knew that if he wanted to find civilisation he would have to put up with this for now.

"No I'm not aware as to why." Pyrrha admitted.

"Maybe he's the relic?" Jaune suggested as he continued to pat his head.

"I doubt Ozpin would be the kind of person to leave a small animal like a dog in the middle of the forest with all these Grimm running around." Pyrrha commented as she approached Jaune and knelt next to him and looked at Iggy with concern as how this small animal is left alone to fight for himself.

"Maybe we should take him with us until we can figure out where he came from?" Jaune suggested.

"Good idea." Pyrrha replied with a smile. She felt that this dog was on his own and she knew that if she left it alone that she wouldn't stop feeling guilty about it.

'Great.' Iggy smiled to himself. 'After this then I can find my way back home.' Iggy couldn't wait to see everyone again and go home back to New York to spend the rest of his days just relaxing in the streets.

"Let's get moving everyone." Jaune exclaimed with happiness as he picked Iggy with a smile. "Hear that buddy?" Jaune cheerly asked Iggy. "You get to come with us."

After about 30 minutes of walking deeper Jaune, Pyrrha and Iggy were still trying find the relics. Iggy wasn't too happy of going deeper into the forest as he wasn't too happy of facing whatever those monsters but if he wanted to get home then he'll have to help these two find these relics.

Suddenly there was a loud sounds of gunshots can be heard far off into the distance.

"Gunfire.. That means some of our comrades have encounters the Grimm." Pyrrha told Jaune and to a lesser extent Iggy.

'So that's what they're called.' Iggy noted to himself as he walked beside Jaune.

"We better move on, just in case there are more Grimm nearby." Normally Pyrrha would want to help her comrades but with Iggy around she didn't want to risk anything bad to happen to Iggy and she believed that they were more than capable of handling the situation after all you don't get into Beacon unless you have tremendous amount of skill.

Iggy or Jaune didn't have any objections to Pyrrha and the trio continued walking. As Pyrrha walked there was a tree branch in her way and pushed it out of her way which caused to fly back into Jaune's face.

"Jaune I'm sorry!" Pyrrha apologized to Jaune. Iggy was watching Jaune fell to the ground thinking to himself. 'Can this guy actually survive on his own?' He just saw a guy dressed in armour carrying a sword just get knocked out by a simple tree branch.

"It's okay… it's just a scratch." Jaune replied trying to play it off but he could feel the stinging pain on his cheek.

"Why didn't your aura protect you from the branch?" Pyrrha asked Jaune causing both Jaune and Iggy to be confused.

"Huh?" Jaune asked.

Iggy perked up, he never heard of aura and was interested about what it is.

"You're aura?"

"Gesundheit." Jaune told Pyrrha.

"Jaune do you know what an aura is?" Pyrrha asked Jaune.

"Of course I do." Jaune lied. "Do you know what an aura is?"

"Aura is the manifestation of our soul. It bears our burdens and shields our hearts. Have you ever felt you were being watched without knowing someone was there?"

This gained Iggy's interest; after all what she's describing sounded like a stand which made him think even more that Pyrrha was a stand user.

"With practice our aura can be our shield. Everyone has it even animals have it."

The more Pyrrha explains what aura the more it sounds like she was describing a stand to Iggy. However when she said everyone has aura then that tripped Iggy up. As far as he was aware only few people have a stand. Which started to get Iggy to think about what happened after he closed his eyes back at DIO's mansion.

"But what about the Grimm?" Jaune asked.

"No, they don't." Pyrrha told Jaune. "The creature's of Grimm lack an aura. They are the darkness and we are the light."

"Right! That's why we fight them!"

" It's not about why; it's about knowing. Understanding dark and light helps us manifest our Aura. Everyone has some of baring your soul outward as a force, you can deflect harm. All of our tools and equipment are conduits for Aura. You protect yourself and your soul when fighting."

"It's like a force field!" Jaune said enthusiastically.

"Yes, if you want to look at it that way." Pyrrha replied with a smile at Jaune's child like description of aura. Pyrrha then walked up Jaune and touched the side of his cheek. "Now close your eyes and concentrate."

"Uhh... okay." Jaune said and closed his eyes.

Iggy stood there and watched the pair thinking what they were doing. Suddenly he saw the pair began to glow with Pyrrha glowing red and Jaune was glowing white. After a short while the Pyrrha began to stop glowing and began to hunch over tired but Jaune was still glowing.

"Pyrrha...?"

"It's all right. I used my Aura to unlock yours, but the energy that protects you now is your own." She smiled as the cut on Jaune's cheek began to heal up. " You have a lot of it."

As the pair had their moment Iggy took the time to piece together the information of what he just saw from the weird wolf thing, to the aura and combined that with what he last remembered at DIO's mansion that Iggy was starting to realise a truth he didn't want to admit. That he died at the mansion and this was some weird after life. NO! Iggy thought to himself. He knew that he must have survived the beating from Vanilla Ice and he will reunite with the crusaders and HE WILL go back home to New York.
