"Shika!" the blond complained as he dusted the rubble out of his hair. "I thought you said their was tough Grimm here! Not randomly exploding boxes of Dust!" The black haired young man groaned, "Troublesome" he groaned sitting up he looked around the cave. "All dangerous substances were suppose to have been cleared out of the mount Glenn undercity years ago!" A groan caught the duo's attention as a hand burst out from within one of the newly made piles of rubble. "I could use some help here!" Both boys grumbled as they stood up, doing their own imitation of a sloth walking as they marched over to the trapped koala faunus.

Grabbing onto the blondes hand they pulled, her out of the rubble-only to fall over as Ino fell on top of the two boys. Groaning The koala faunus rolled off her companions, all of them sitting up. Looking at the way they entered the cave the half faunus groaned. "Were fucked." As the cave entrance was completely blocked. Grumbling their agreement, the young deer sighed. "If only we brought Blake." The cat faunus had an unusual talent for getting out of obnoxious situations.

Of course that talent was probably honed, thanks to her other talent for getting in dangerous situations...

"You think you can make a tunnel Naruto?" the blonde groaned, "Probably but this entire place is made up of just straight up hardened dirt." echoed the blond's complaint "Even granite would be easier to convert!" Naruto muttered under his breath.

The blondes froze in unison, their enhanced hearing catching something far beyond human hearing. "You guys okay?" said the only human in the cave. Turning towards the deer lover the koala faunus hissed "Quiet!" in angry whisper. Trying to listen to the source of the sound.

Standing silently Naruto made a follow me gesture, as he moved in slow and deliberately quiet manner. The cave was larger than their initial thoughts as they marched on for several minutes. The only light source in the cavern being the flashlights embedded in their grim hunter jackets.

Many would wonder why they decided to wear the disguises despite how unlikely it was anyone would see them in the depths of mount Glenn. The answer was the very simple fact the clothes had been designed for just about every situation in mind. Including getting suck deep under ground.

Turning a corner that was previously hidden by the cloak of darkness, the trio found… A dragon… to be specific a large house sized Grimm dragon that was currently banging it head against the wall. Under normal circumstances they would cut their loses and run away before the legendary creature that had only nine confirmed sighting with several legends stating that it was a sign of great calamity, turned it's gaze their way... However at the moment the trio didn't feel all that threatened.

Observing the majestic creature as it continued to give itself a massive headache the trio approached slowly still on guard until they could confirm their theory. Naruto drew Ivory in preparation as he observed the dragon in front of them. Only for an incredulous koala faunus to answer the question of why this dragons just wasn't all that dangerous at the moment.

"It's sleepwalking…" the platinum blond asked ears twitching at the absurdity "The legendary being that has supposedly wiped out hundreds of the strongest hunters to have ever graced the planet is sleep walking." Their tired over worked brain trying to process the situation with visible failure on the part of one sunny blond. "Uh…" was the only sound coming from his throat as his eyes went blank.

The Nara waved a hand in front of the blondes face, receiving no answer he turned to Ino not even bothering to muffle his voice any longer. "I think it broke him." Teal eyes rolled as the platinum blonde walked over to her fellow blond, punching him with the entirety of her not so small amount of strength.

"Ow! What the hell Ino?" Giving her fellow blond a blank glare, Shikamaru sighed and muttered "Troublesome blondes" Only to be pierced through the heart by the combined glare of his companions. Putting up his hands in surrender the nara looked over to the dragons that was still baging it's head on the wall of the cave.

It see through wings folded up as it swung, its head back in forth with the singular purpose of slamming it's thick skull into the wall. If that didn't wake the dragon up the trio doubted any of them could, in moment of pure A.D.D they all wondered what the hell it was dreaming about.

Shivering the platinum blond dismissed the disturbing images that line of thought brought with it. "Why didn't it wake up when it sensed our aura's?" that brought up an entirely new line of questions to the drawing board. "Our weapons." suggested the Nara "We've killed an absorbed how many Grimm with them, so it only makes sense that our weapons would cover up the comparatively little aura we have." The deer lover pointed out as he took the pale white dagger he'd had Naruto make for him, while the platinum looked down to the pale white combat knife strapped to her left leg.

"It makes sense." Naruto nodded to his black haired companion, as he walked slowly towards the dragon, halting when he was under it's neck. Both Ino and shikamaru's frantic gestures of denial going unnoticed as the blonde took a deep breath before swinging the blade, mentally unlatching the power held inside the sword.

A large cracking sound filled the cavern as Ivory came down in stabbing motion, the iron like skin covering the dragon's body only causing the blade to slow a slight amount. Only to cut through the dragon like butter as a great amount of the power the blade was released, causing a shock-wave to shake the cavern, as the dragon's brain was turned to mush. The sword going straight through the Grimm's skull and impaling the floor.

The blond blinked "That was easier than I thought…" Of course he had also been using aura pinching to increase the power of the blow but that was way too easy.

The dragon's body, that was still curled up with the exception of the head, that was previously swinging back and forth, now hanging limply as the body seemed to relax, slightly. Naruto stared at the body as if waiting for it to jump back to life. Only to sigh, "Seriously that's it?" he complained.

*Smack*

"Damn it Ino! that hurt!" Naruto stated petulantly.

"You idiot do you realize that you could've caused the roof to cave in!" the koala faunus growled as she continued her rant. "Did you even have a plan, if your sword I don't know, couldn't break it's skin! Or if Ivory simply broke when you tried!" Looking to the sighed he kept quiet knowing that his fellow blond wouldn't register 'Hit it till it dies!' as a plan.

"You gonna keep yelling at him?" the Nara asked, "Or can we get out of here." The young maelstroms hand shot into the air. "Just one more thing before we go!" he said skipping back towards the dragon's body. Ivory keeping it from decomposing, despite the fact it would take several day for it to disappear anyways.

Walking over to the Grimm he crouched by it head, before turning to his companions. "You guys gonna get over here?" realizing what he was asking the two sighed before Ino climbed onto the dragon's head, the Nara sat beside the crouching blond his hand resting on his knee as he leaned back onto the dragon. The blonde raised his arm allowing his customized scroll to activate.

The customized device flashed as it took the picture.

A few minutes later the somewhat insane blond was standing against a wall having located the easiest place to convert. "One of you might have to carry me out of here this going to tiring." Groaning shikamaru resigned himself to carrying his friend home. Activating his semblance his companions watched in amazement as a section a bit larger than a typical Ursa, was converted into raw green dust, glowing softly as an indent began to form, that was eventually converted into tunnel that the duo guessed lead outside.

Their blind companion falling to one knee, sweating buckets as he gasped for air. Sighing shikamaru through his friend's arm over his shoulder as he helped him to his feet. The trio walked forward Ino in the lead, only for her to notice as the green glow faded to a copper color wherever her feet touched. Apparently knowing what she was going to ask the blond answered "Copper,*Gasp* dust turns into pure copper whenever*Gasp* aura touches it permanently."

Shrugging her shoulders they made their way out of the caves, leaving a trail of footprints the entire way.


"So…" the blond drawled as he looked at the white haired beauty in front of him. "What did you want?" he asked not willing to sit and talk about random thing for another hour.

Winter schnee sighed looking outside the window of the cafe and towards the the bustling streets. They were currently in a little known cafe, towards the center of vale. The dinner itself was often overlooked do to the much larger building that surrounded it causing many to simply not even know it was their.

It was nice place with marble tiles on the floor, and round tables scattered about with a few of it's customers sitting about. A library shelf sitting to the right with an entire area with carpeted flooring with couches and things meant to make it more comfortable.

It was basically just your common mom & pop type place.

She sighed, turning to her current company. Blond hair splayed about in a wild mess, as his cerulean eyes stared at her. "I thought you might want this back." she said taking a piece of paper out of her vest. Handing it to him he unfolded it, revealing a chart showing advanced theories on how to make hurricane dust. "Oh, I was looking for this!" Only for him to look up and glare at the schnee "You swiped this from my house!" she forced down a blush as she spoke "No It just happened to be in my hand when you through both me and my guard out of your house, an into a tree." she said in frank voice.

He rolled his eyes, at her as he stood up, "If that's all?" he said pulling out his wallet to pay. Only to halt as winter schnee spoke "Well I was hoping to have a conversation about how a normal sixteen almost seventeen year old has knowledge on advance dust theory, that makes the schnee company look like it's still in diapers." He winced at that major understatement. The dust theory on that piece of paper made the schnee look like they had yet be even conceived.

He simply forced a stoic look on his face, "I have no idea what you're talking about miss schnee." the ice in his voice giving the schnee ample reason to believe she had gone to far. The blond walking away from her as he payed for their drinks.

Winter schnee knew that she had probably screwed this conversation up. Originally she just wanted to thank him for saving her sister, not that he would ever admit to doing so. How did she screw that up? It probably had to do with the not so very subtle hinting at the fact he was more than what he seamed.

The white haired beauty sighed as she took another sip of her cappuccino.


Naruto groaned. It was only 11:15 and he already wanted to drink himself under the table. The very thought of doing was so much like the dusty old Qrow he was beginning to wonder if their was such a thing Qrowitus?

He practically cried when he realized, that he still had the conference call with Headmaster Ozpin. Giving a half hearted sigh he started to drag himself back to his house. Both shikamaru and Ino had called to tell him they were waiting there.
