I actually meant to put this at the end of the previous chapter, so consider this a little bonus chapter. So let's get on with that, shall we? Also, I posted a poll for Sun's Zoid on my profile. So be sure to vote on that so I can write the next chapter!

*I still don't own RWBY or Zoids!*


Bonus Chapter! Bonding Of The Souls!


It was late at night at the Blitz Team headquarters, and this was normally when everyone was asleep. But not tonight. No, tonight everyone was awake and waiting to see what was going to happen. Even Leon, who decided to leave on his journey the next day, was there to witness a key part of the Branwen tribe's ancient culture.

Standing in the middle of an empty storage room, a shirtless Jaune was waiting patiently as Raven drew a circle around him using what seemed to be a mixture of Dark Isle sand, Thunderbird Nightshade, ground up Gooseberry seeds, Black Bird feathers and oregano. Don't ask me why she chose oregano. I honestly thought she would have gone with chilli powder.

Leena and Yang were having a very hard time keeping themselves from drooling over Jaune's exposed upper body. While he's not exactly 'beefy' by any means, he still has a good amount of lean yet strong muscle on him. And both women found themselves preferring this particular body type. Especially in Yang's case, since she used to always have a bunch of muscle heads trying to woo her. She ended up either punching them through walls if they went too far, gently shooed them away if they took a hint, or ended up beating them away with a stick if they were too stubborn.

Usually all three.

Anyway, once she was done drawing an intricate circle in the ground around Jaune, Raven made a cut on the boy's arm that was deep enough to draw blood. She collected the blood in a small bowl before Jaune's Aura healed the wound. Using a paint brush, the black haired woman began to write out these very intricate runes from five points of the circle all the way up Jaune's body. The runes travelled up his back, chest and arms to a star mark painted in blood on the base Jaune's neck where his left collarbone was located.

Once she was done, she put the brush down and began to focus her Aura into her palms and got ready for the final step.

"Okay Jaune, the Soul Bond ritual is almost complete. Are you ready for the final step?" Raven asked.

Jaune just closed his eyes and nodded. He had a feeling this was going to hurt, so while he mentally prepared himself Raven began to chant in an ancient language as her Aura travelled from her hands to the mark on Jaune's neck.

*"Ahnen der Zeit längst, ich rufe dich jetzt endlich an! Binde die Seelen derer so jung und hilf ihnen, ihr Bestimmtes zu finden! Wurzel jetzt ... Bindung der Seelen!"*

Suddenly, Jaune's eyes began to glow completely white as his Aura flared around him like a raging wild fire! The glow was so intense, it forced most of the people gathered to shield their eyes lest they risk going blind! The runes around Jaune began to travel up the boy's body as four ropes of his Aura shot out from his body and looped around four people. Although we only know two of these people.

While two of these strands of Aura flew off into the distance while still being connected to Jaune, the remaining two looped around Yang and Leena before tying themselves around the two girls' waists. The Aura knotted off and caused Leena and Yang's eyes to begin glowing the color of their own Auras. Yang's glowed a bright burning yellow like when her Semblance activates, and Leena's eyes glowed a brilliant fuschia as her own Aura was unlocked.

The three teenagers began floating about a foot off the ground as the ritual's effects began to do something to their Auras. Some of Jaune's own Aura began to enter into the girls and mix with their own Aura. The same could be said as Yang's yellow Aura and Leena's fuschia Aura bled into Jaune's white Aura and mixed with it.

But what puzzled everyone was the red aura and the black aura that bled into Jaune's own Aura and mixed with it.

There was a brilliant flash of colors as the ritual was complete, and the three teenagers gently floated down to the floor out cold. And on their collar bones were the same mark as Jaune.

The twin crescent moon mark of the Arc family. Only while the one on Jaune's neck is multi colored due to having multiple soulmates, Leena and Yang had one moon mark that was the same color as their respective aura while the other moon symbol is white like Jaune's aura.

Raven took a moment to check on them and sighed in relief. They were all sleeping soundly. In all honesty, she wasn't quite sure if the ritual would even work. It hasn't been performed since the beginning of the Grimm, so there was a fifty percent chance that it wouldn't work.

"They're alive. They just need a good night's sleep, and they'll be ready for anything the next day." Raven reported.

"That's a relief." sighed Doctor Toros. "Let's get them to bed and get some shut eye ourselves. It's been a long day for everyone."

The others nodded in agreement with Sarah actually yawning loudly as she moved to help get her son into bed. But what she and the others really want to know is… who are Jaune's other two soulmates?


To Be Continued…


Translation from German: Ancestors of times long past, I call upon you now at long last! Bind the souls of those so young, and help them find their destined one! Take root now... bond of souls!

If you guys have any suggestions as to who should be the last two girls who are Jaune's soulmates, send them in the reviews. I'll then put them on a poll and the two girls with the most votes will be it. The poll will be up until the tenth chapter, so be sure to send in your choices. The girl can be someone from Remnant, or she can be from the Zoids New Century Zero anime. Just send your choices.
