(Menagerie, Kuo Kuana village.)
Blake slid back as Mauve parried Gambol Shroud as if the katanna was nothing more than a stick to him.
"Way to great your 20-year-old brother, sis."
Mauve joked, sarcasm dripping out of his voice as he pointed one of Nightshade's bracers at her, barrel ready to fire in case he had to fire the weapon at her.
Blake also saw his stance was laid back, as if he wasn't planning to put much effort into his fight with her.
"It's good to see you, Sienna didn't tell me you left… But I guessed, Adam never was a good teacher for you…."
Mauve stated, crossing his arms as Blake pointed Gambol Shroud at her older sibling.
"What are you doing here, Mauve?"
Blake asked, half full of venom as Mauve shrugged off the question's tone like a bug.
"Where's mom and dad? I have to talk to them, it's important…"
Mauve asked as Blake was about to respond before a whip slashed through the air towards them before Mauve grabbed it.
"Llia Amitola… I should have guessed Adam's treachery would spread…. But not to my home!"
Mauve hissed as he tugged on the whip, sending the Chameleon Faunus crashing into a wall a she turned and fled.
"Hey, get back here!"
Sun hissed before he took off after her as Mauve turned to Blake.
"We're telling them now, bring me to them."
Mauve stated as Blake tried to think of how she could get out of the situation.
'I can't outfight Mauve, he was always the better fighter and now he's stronger, faster and more skilled… Not to mention the combat experience…. We're going to have a talk…'
Blake thought as she nodded and motioned for her older brother to follow.
(Belladonna residence)
Mauve had to duck to fit through the door, he forgotten how much bigger his mask made his head, he ducked to one side to avoid his father while removing his mask with his other hand.
"Nice to see you too, dad…. That's how you treat your son after 7 years?"
Mauve asked as he heard a voice from the other room.
"Ghira, what are you doing out there? Who's there?"
Mauve heard as a tall Cat Faunus in a Black Hakama and sandals with white Tabi socks exited the kitchen with a tray of glasses for diner.
Mauve's Jade eyes met his mother's yellow as he turned to meet her.
Kali Belladonna's tray smashed on the ground as she rushed forward to hug her son as Mauve looked surprised before warmly hugging the smaller Faunus.
"Nice to see you too, mom."
Mauve smiled before turning to meet the stern eyes of his dad.
"We have a lot to talk about."
Mauve said as his father nodded.
(30 minutes later)
Mauve sat on the sofa, finishing his tale as his mother sat next to him, Blake and his father sitting on another couch facing him.
Mauve laid back as he hadn't filled them in on the last few days.
"7 Years… That's how long you stayed in the white Fang…. Did you know your sister left it?
His father asked as Mauve met his stone-cold stare head on and nodded before responding.
"Yes, I didn't hear it directly but I guessed Adam never was anything more than a jackass to Blake… One more reason to snap his neck after the coup."
Mauve stated, clenching his fist in anger as Blake looked surprised before his mother looked in shock at him.
"Sienna is dead?"
His mother asked as Mauve shook his head.
"No, Adam tried to kill her a few days ago, I helped her escape then she sent me here to ask for your help… Adam is in control of the White Fang for the most part."
Mauve said as Blake's eyes widened as she sank back into her seat, she looked to see her parents share a glance.
"Where is she now?"
His father asked as Mauve was about to respond when there was a voice at the door.
"I'm right here, Ghira."
A voice said as everyone in the room turned to see Sienna Khan standing in the doorway with two of her soldiers.
She turned and gave Blake a semi angered look at the other Cat Faunus turned away from her as she turned to look at Kali and bowed.
"Ms. Belladonna, it's been a while."
Sienna said as both Belladonnas watched Sienna take a seat next to Mauve.
"I haven't seen you since well…. You and Mauve left…."
Kali said as Sienna nodded before speaking up.
"Yes, it has been a while since we last talked… But what Mauve says is true…. Adam is in control of the White Fang for the most part… There is a small part of the Fang still loyal to me."
Sienna stated as Kali smiled while Ghira frowned.
"After what you did…."
Ghira said as Sienna turned and looked at the man before speaking, her voice like ice.
"I did what I thought was right to keep Faunus safe… I see that now it may have inspired Adam to rise up and take more direct action… Mauve is still on my side… Your own son agrees with his childhood friend."
Sienna spat back as Blake turned to look at the Tiger Faunus.
"What are you doing here, I thought you sent Mauve here to get help."
Blake said as Sienna looked at her, trying to gauge if the former White Fang member was against her or not.
"I thought it would be better if I personally made my case…. The White Fang are planning to attack Haven Academy."
Sienna said as Ghira's eyes widened before he responded.
"He wouldn't, that Academy is on high alert since Beacon… Is he crazy?"
Ghira asked as Mauve spoke up in response.
"Adam is going to go through with it, he's not as…. 'Merciful' as Sienna is, dad… We have to stop him…. Then we deal with the fallout."
Mauve put in as Kali cleared her throat to speak.
"Then you'd be willing to speak in front of the rest of the tribe?"
Kali asked as Blake went to speak up in defiance before Sienna spoke up.
"If it puts the Faunus here at will, the welfare of the Faunus is something we all agree with…. But I'm keeping Mauve by my side at the talk… The White Fang are after us all… Deal?"
Sienna asked with a catlike grin.
