chapter 2

It was now night and Jaune had been training by himself, following Pyrrha's video, he knew Ruby was watching him, his new enhanced senses gave him that advantage, he could smell her rose and cookie scent was easy to sell, but he didn't care, she could watch all she wanted, he'd just wait till she was gone to pull off his second amount of business he was intending to do that night and she was gone soon enough.

''what do we need to do to talk face to face?'' he asked.

''simple sit in meditative state, close your eyes and just relax'' said the dragon.

''alright'' sighed Jaune sitting down crosslegged.

Jaune took a deep breath before closing his eyes, after taking several deep soothing breaths, soon he began to drift, when he opened his eyes again he saw he was now sat right in front of the dragon, who glared down at Jaune, it swords were in its sheaths and its arms were simply crossed.

''so whats there to talk about?'' asked Jaune.

''you used my power how?'' asked the Dragon.

''I honestly don't know'' said Jaune ''I know I concentrated very hard and then it just happened''

''hmmm a fluke then'' said the Dragon I did not give you my power and yet you can use it anyway, your more powerful than I thought you'd be''

''ok my turn, where are we?'' asked Jaune.

''this is something called the subconscious'' said the Dragon ''everyone has one of these, humans, animals, bugs, anything with a conscious has a subconscious and as of such beings can reside in this world of the subconscious''

''one more thing, you said you don't accept me what do you mean by that?'' asked Jaune.

''I mean what I said'' said the dragon angrily ''I don't accept you boy, I don't accept you for one minute, I don't like the fact your my host, that you have my power, I quite frankly just don't like it, this is just me showing you a void, this is your real subconscious''

the blackness was taken away and replaced with a volcano, lava running down it, islands were in-between the magma stream, but something was wrong, a dark cloud was over it and it was bucketing down, burning the dragon as steam came off him, Jaune could see the dragon was clearly in pain.

''look at what you've done to this world! just look around! I need to be constantly rained upon because of you! get out! I don't want to see you get out!'' shouted the dragon ''but heed this warning, leave your group! because as long as your with them the Grimm will keep coming for you in larger and larger numbers until they get to you!''

With that Jaune was forced out, Jaune felt worse now, he had not only found out more about the dragon, but how he was apparently causing it pain, he also learned that he was drawing Grimm to his team, but now this did raise a question, should he leave the group?

-LINE BREAK-

Meanwhile Altair stood surrounded by Grimm, he was heavily outnumbered having to fight off twenty Beowolves, ten Ursa, five Boarabusk, thirty Creeps, ten Griffons, two Deathstalkers and a King Taijitu, but just as Altair thought that was all of it a Goliath stormed in, it was a massive Alpha, it had a huge bony armour covering its back with razor sharp spikes on it's back and it's Belly was covered as well, it's head was also fully covered with a horn on its head.

Altair was ready though, he wasn't going down without a fight, in fact he wasn't going down at all, not with his fighting ability's, the Grimm who was either aggressive enough or stupid enough to try at him was a Creep, it jumped at Altair and he swung a kick into the side of its head knocking it down, he then stomped upon it's head breaking it's neck and killing it, it was then that all the Grimm started to charge at once, it was now time for Altair to use all his power.

''Dragon's Claws!'' he cried, just then his fists ignited on flames, before the flames seemed to burst off and leave him with two sets of dragon claws on its fists, these claws were blues and they seemed to be holographic as his hands were still shown through them, Altair then quickly went at it slashing through the Beowolves and Creepers that jumped at him, slicing them to pieces, steam drifted off there body's as he cut them.

The Griffons then leapt at him reaching out for him Altair just turned around and did something else, he took a deep breath in and then released it and as he released it blue flames burst out of his mouth ''ROAR!'' the flames blasted the Griffons in blue flames killing many of them in an instant, others of them just fell to the ground badly burnt and dying, Altair quickly leapt as one of the King Taijitu lunched at him, he then ignited his claws and cut it's black head off and back flipped as the second head lunched at him landing on its head.

he looked around to see what Grimm he still needed to kill, he had now only the Ursa, Boarabusks, Death Stalkers and this thing to deal with, plus the Goliath which hadn't moved and seemed to be judging his ability's before it made any moves, one of the Deathstalker's decided to see if it could hit Altair, Altair quickly pulled on the side of the King Taijitu's head pulling it to the side causing the Deathstalker's sting it through the head killing it.

Altair then jumped off as the snake Grimm started to fall, he landed on top of one of the Death Stalkers and then ignited his claws stabbing them into the monster and cutting it in half, Altair jumped off as all the Boarabusk rolled up and charged at him, Altair jumped over them, but they started to circle him, but Altair wasn't worried about them he quickly dodged and slashed them with his claws as they approached leaving them to be severed in several places at once, but the Ursa then charged him all at once.

Altair then started to fight the Ursa dodging claw swipes and slashing at them with his claws, he cut off there arms and head to make sure that they were dead, Altair then charged the final Death Stalker, dodging each sting it lashed out and then sliding under it, igniting his claws he sliced into it as he slid under it cutting it into eight pieces, Altair got up and looked to see what was left.

the only one left was the Goliath, Altair charged towards the mighty elephant like Grimm and it charged back, but then Altair closed his eyes and reopened them, but now his eyes had changed, his pupils were now completely cobalt blue and were glowing in a fierce glare, with that look in Altair's eyes the Goliath stopped in its tracks, paralysed, Altair kept charging though, jumping up and igniting his claws, he then jumped forwards punching forwards and slicing into the side of the cutting it in half causing it to collapse to the ground and disintegrate, Altair then sighed, that was all of them.

''impressive'' said a familiar voice.

''hmm, I knew it wasn't just a dream, so tell me how do I talk to you face to face?'' asked Altair.

''oh I can do that myself'' the dragon said, appearing in front of Altair in a sort of ghost form ''it's a pleasure to meet you Altair''

''well you know my name, can I know yours?'' asked Altair.

''of course I am Burūbān'' said the Dragon.

''pleasure, now whats going on?'' asked Altair ''where do I need to go, I know I need to go somewhere so where and how do I know this''

''Altair, please listen to me, I know I am probably not one to be trusted right now, but please you need to trust me, there are four more you need to meet with, once you meet them, I will explain everything'' said Burūbān.

Altair looked down considering his options, after a short while he sighed out ''very well'' with that Altair started to run towards his destination again, little did he know that a distance away a young man of his age was watching him and he smirked as he saw Altair's battle.

''heh, heh, heh, it's on now'' he grinned his nails turning a burning hot red.

-LINE BREAK-

Kole was still sat in that bar and was still drinking, he was drunk at this point and passed out head on the bar, when he next woke up he looked around ''ho, so I'm having this again'' he slurred drunkly, he then took a few steps and fell in front of the dragon ''oh hello''

''hmm so your still on the ground, drunk'' growled the Dragon ''shameful''

''hey don't knock it'' slurred Kole reaching into his coat and pulling out a flask of whiskey which he drank.

''you know there are four other's that need you don't you?'' the Dragon asked ''one needs you right now, desperately, he's close to you and needs help''

''heh yeah so?'' asked Kole drinking some more liquor.

''you know he needs your help don't you?'' asked the Dragon.

''yeah so what?'' asked Kole becoming sober almost instantly ''you said that I need to accept myself, well what is there to accept? look at my arm, I've gotten nothing but pain thanks to it, you know I've actually attempted to cut it off right? So what has this world done for me, in fact what has this arm done for me, why should I help this world!? why should I accept this arm?!''

''he's going to die if you don't help him!'' the dragon snarled, this silenced Kole ''you were treated badly by this world because of your arm, I can understand that, the Faunus and the Florus can understand that it's why the White Fang exists and why the Florus have never shown themselves to the world, but it not a reason for you to take your pain out on other's because they despise you for being different, doing that makes you no better than they are, there is pain yes, but you must learn that there is also power in that pain, I will not force you though, I will leave you to your thoughts and hope you make the right decision''

Kole woke up and looked around, nothing had really changed though now Kole's conscious had some weight on it, he looked down on his bandaged up arm, he hated this arm, he despised it, he hated everything about it and wanted it off him more than anything, but could really just sit hear knowing someone could die and do nothing, could he live with that, he hated this world, he really did, but he didn't want anyone to die from his actions, that's why he never killed anyone with his revolver, Kole groaned ''damn me, wait for me vodka'' he got up and started to walk out of the pub.
