To the most recent guest who asked if I ever thought of drawing Krok in combat, to that; No. I absolutely SUCK at drawing, my pen is better at making stories, so as a challenge could someone draw their interpritation? You will get full credit for the drawing and you'll have my thanks!

Please everyone leave a review, favorite, follow this story! Now here is chapter 9!

Given the chance, Krok can, would and will sleep for 24 hours, particularly in his soft warm bed. Of course he wasn't given such a luxury, only 18 hours. Krok awoke to the feeling of one of his teammates shaking him.

"Wake up Krok," His team leader said as she used her small hands to shake him awake. Krok laid still, trying to hide him being awake. "Comon! You promised to do whatever we wanted today!" She winned giving her puppy dog eyes, however Krok was not looking at her so they were quite ineffective. Weiss groaned at Ruby's attempt to wake the sleeping crocodile.

"That's not going to work you dunce," she scolded her leader. Weiss walked towards Krok's bed and grabbed the sheets, with a smile she pulled them off the bed, revealing Krok underneath. "See? problem solved." Krok immediately curled up into a tight ball as he felt the rush of the cooler air hit his body. The cold air worked like his normal showers, easily bringing him to full consciousness.

"Why would you do that?" He asked dryly as his eyes opened.

"You said you were ours today." Blake said walking in front of Krok. He noticed she was fully dressed, along with everyone else.

"What time is it?"

"9:00" Ruby said looking at her small clock.

"We figured we should let you sleep since you were so tired from yesterday." Yang crouched in front of Krok with a smile on her face. He didn't return it as he turned over, the sun in his face. He felt someone on top of him continue to shake him awake.

"Comon!" Ruby wined at him, Krok let out a louder groan as he felt her switch from shaking to pounding her fist on his back.

"Five more minutes," he groaned his face in the pillow, Ruby stopped for a second Krok took a breath in relief, till he heard the piercing sound of her whistle. Krok's hands shot to his head as Ruby blew as loud as she could.

"As the leader of team RWBY I order you to get up or I will use this again!" Ruby announced as she held her whistle in her hand. Krok removed his head from the pillow, giving her an annoyed look, "you have 10 seconds." Krok groaned before rising up stretching. Looks like they were literal yesterday.

Walking the streets of Vale felt different, when he stayed here for a little he would only venture at night and avoided people. Here he was in broad daylight with four girls taking him around town, if felt different. Krok kept a watch out of habit, in front was Ruby, Weiss while behind was Blake and Yang. Both to keep an eye on Krok however that was more Yang, Blake seemed to be in her own little world. As he looked around Krok noticed people staring at him, apparently reptilian Faunus were rare in Vale. The looks he got were from fear to disgust, something he had long gotten used to.

"Hey Krok, hello?" Krok snapped back to reality as Weiss' hand waved in front of Krok trying to get his attention.

"Huh?" Was all he could reply as she gave him an annoyed look.

"Were you listening to a word I was saying?" She asked annoyed while placing a hand in her hip.

"No," he replied earning a groan from the Ice Queen.

"Honestly, you say you'll do whatever we want and you failed twice already." She went on, Krok only partially listened to Weiss, his eyes and tail making quick darts back and forth.

"Hey Krok, you alright?" Yang asked noticing his tail, Krok didn't answer, she walked up a placed a hand on his shoulder, causing him to jump a little, "easy big guy," she joked allowing Krok a second to relax,

"You seem really tense Krok, something wrong?" Blake asked her amber eyes studying him.

"Just on high alert, nothing more." Krok said, while not lying he wasn't going to spill the entire story, unless someone made him.

"Let's grab something to eat then talk about today okay?" Ruby asked, knowing it would be hard to enjoy the day on an empty stomach.

"I don't have any liens," Krok said before they walked on,

"Did you leave your wallet back at beacon?"

"I don't have a wallet." Krok explained, living a life of shadows and occasional work meant Krok had little to no money ever.

"How did you expect to buy anything?" Weiss asked turning her head. Krok shrugged he only came because they wanted him, he figured that meant carrying their stuff if they bought something. Krok felt Yang's arm around his shoulder,

"Don't worry Krok, Yang's got you covered!" She said squeezing him closer to her. Krok didn't complain or show any sign of dislike, while annoying it was bearable. Yang noticed his lack of struggling and smiled mischievously. "Not so bad is it?" She smiled giving him a playful squeeze, earning a groan from him.

"Thank you Yang."

"You're very welcome." She let go before they went on their way to a restaurant. They went to an outside table where they could enjoy the warm weather. As Krok took his seat he suddenly collapsed to the floor. Everyone quickly looked to see if he was alright. Laying on the floor, Krok growled in annoyance, forgetting that normal chairs couldn't handle his weight.

"Are you okay?" Blake asked looking down at him.

"Simply annoyed," he got up and dusted himself off as he decided to stand up. One of the waiters approached them and saw the remains of the chair. She quickly walked away and returned with the menus along with a metal chair, allowing him to sit down. As they looked at their menus they began talking to each other, classes, homework and such. Krok looks around recognizing the restaurant. On many of his night travels he would pass this restaurant, it would be opened late at night. His sharp nose would pick up the many delicious smells of the kitchen, forcing him to leave, else he tried to break in for a quick bite.

He quickly surveys the restaurant, there are at least 15 people outside. Some young couples, some older. As he looks he notices the glances and looks from the people, most are those of disgust. Course they would be disgusted, he a Faunus, a crocodilian one at that. Still Krok could care less, they wouldn't do anything.

As he continues to think and observe his tail slowly swishing back and forth by his side, as the chairs had no opening in the back. His tail partily rest in his lap as the rest of it swayed from side to side. As he's lost in his thoughts he feels someone grab tail, Krok quickly looks to see Yang holding his tail. Yang has a worried look on her face, along with the rest of their teammates.

"Sorry, lost in thoughts, what did you guys say?"

"Alright what's with you?" Weiss asked glaring at him. "You been zoning off all day, what with that?" Krok didn't lock eyes with them, nervous of the fact that he fazed out like that. His tail still in Yang's hand, exposed how he felt.

"Comon Krok," Yang said with a smile, she continued to hold onto Krok's tail, giving it an encouraging squeeze. "We're your friends remember? What's eating at you?" Krok let out a sigh, it was always Yang who managed to spearhead learning about Krok.

"Nothing just thinking." None of them bought it,

"You're a really bad liar you know." Blake said glaring at him.

"Comon, don't you trust us?" Ruby asked with pleading eyes. Krok returned with an expressionless glare, remembering how fast she betrayed their "trust". She quickly caught onto how he was still a little upset. "Okay maybe not completely but still,"

"I just have a mix of memories here, alright?" Krok said while the tip of his tail swished back and forth annoyed, still in Yang's hand, "It's just me remembering having to keep my eyes open for trouble."

"You keep zoning out because you're focusing on everything else around you. You still feel like someone might try and attack you right?" Blake asks, she seemed to understood the most, her amber giving you a sympathetic look. Krok nodded, surprised by her intuition.

"That would be helpful in a fight though." Ruby chimes in,

"In a fight yes, in public trying to focus on someone for a long time, not so much." Krok said looking up. It wasn't like he couldn't focus on something more like if he wasn't interested it was harder too.

"You'll just have to be the center of our conversations then." Yang said earning a look of 'what' from Krok.

"Lets not,"

"It'll help with that, plus we're curious." She had a childish smile on her face.

"No,"

"Don't you trust us?"

"Not really no." Krok felt Yang's grip tightening on his tail, her facial expression said "You really want to go through this again?" this girl was more stubborn than a mule.

"Why do you pry so much Yang?" He asked with a tired, annoyed voice.

"Because Blake is quiet and mysterious enough, we don't need two people like that." Yang didn't notice the annoyed glare Blake cast at her, making Ruby giggle.

"Why can't I keep things to myself? I don't need everyone to see the skeletons in my closet."

"Oh my god! You've killed people?!" Ruby exclaimed loudly, jumping up she places a hand on Crescent Rose. The scene drew the eyes of the other customers. The rest of team RWBY shook their heads and groaned.

"You dunce!" Weiss said bringing Ruby out of her battle readiness, "He means his secrets, not actual skeletons." Weiss scolded, Krok for once agreeing with the heiress. Ruby, took a second to piece it all together before sitting down, her face the same shade as her cloak.

Soon a waiter arrived, he had a smile on his face towards the girls,

"Welcome ladies! Can I take your order?" He didn't make eye contact with Krok, something he noticed right away,

"Can I have strawberries and cookies please?"

"The Caesar Salad please."

"Tuna sandwich please."

"Can I have a smoked turkey club with mayo?" The waiter quickly wrote down their meals. Krok stares at him waiting to be acknowledged. Krok lets out a loud hiss, drawing everyone's attention, or at least the girl's attention. The man quickly walked away however before he was out of range Krok's tail shot out and wrapped around his leg. The man turned to look, he still had a smile on his face though Krok could sense the venom and anger seeping out.

"Can I help you?" He asks slowly, never breaking his smile.

"You didn't take my order pal, I say that bad customer service."

"Terribly sorry, it's just we don't serve your kind." He puts slight emphasis on kind.

"We or you?" The waiter's eyes narrow, Krok had seen multiple faunus here before, he never saw this man before. " This restaurant had human and faunus. So either you're lying or you're simply a racist prick who thought he could bully someone." Krok laughed humorlessly, the waiter kept trying to pry free from his tail however it was in vain. " So, I want a double bacon cheeseburger rare with everything on it. Also so I don't tell your boss about this incident, you're giving us all a discount." The waiter tensed up

"Why would I ever-"

"Or, I could tell your boss what a horrible waiter you've been, coupled with the lack of faunus, you might as well start looking for a new job." Krok eyes narrowed with a sinister smile, he could see and smell the sweat pouring off the man. He was like Cardin, bullying others till someone else decided to put them in their place. He slowly nodded,

"I'll be back in a few minutes with your food ladies and gentleman." Krok snicked, enjoying the pained expression on the man's face. He then quickly walked away, upset at his humiliation and defeat.

The rest of lunch went off without too much trouble, the waiter was still sour at not only having to serve Krok but to discount their entire meal, which everyone appreciated. As they walked Krok could feel Ruby's eyes locked onto him, or better yet Night's Edge.

"Want to hear about Night's Edge?" He asked her without looking. He could practically hear her excitement. "Besides what you saw can't tell you much about it, I've had it with me since my earliest memory, it's saved my life several time."

"Then explain what happened when you fought the Lernaean, your sword was engulfed in fire." Weiss asks as she walks behind him remembering the shock they all felt watching Krok slice through the Grimm.

"You guys remember me blowing up the swarm of Grimm?" They nodded,

"Please tell me you won't shoot someone with that." Blake asks turning around, recalling the damage done by one of his shots.

"It's more harm than good in close combat, blow myself and anyone in a 100 yard radius up. That's why I used the other form, power of the bomb condensed into the sword. Sword burns as hot as the bomb and gets stronger with each second, making weapons and armor useless to block or attack." Krok smiled remembering the heat rush over him like an inferno,

"How long does it last?" Krok stopped, he was surprised anyone had guessed there was a limit, he did recall saying it back there.

"Why do you think their is a time limit?"

"Your sword was also glowing, plus your attacks were getting more explosive with each strike, that kind of power can't be contained for long, either disperse it over the fight or all at once." Weiss stared at him with a smug smile, she was a lot smarter than Krok gave her credit for.

"Correct, it's literally a ticking time bomb depending on how many shots I use. One shot is the longest but weakest, three shots is the shortest but strongest." Krok stretched back, his tail following suit. It wasn't like he was ever going to use the shots in combat with them. Looked at Ruby, her face saying she had a question she wanted answered. Krok simply nodded his head at his young leader,

"How many Grimm have you killed?"

"In total or at once?"

"Total," Krok shrugged

"Don't know for sure, at least 100. Now can I ask a question?" They all nodded, Krok though for a second, what did he want to know about them? "Alright, how did you guys meet?"

"Well me and Rubes are sisters, she skipped ahead two years because of Ozpin."

"Wait you're 15?"

"Yep!" She said proudly, Krok only stared for a second he then continued on. It wasn't a big issue that she was younger, though it certainly explained her actions.

They continued walking, Yang turned to look at Krok, she had one of her usual smiles.

"What is it?" Krok asked, wondering what game she was playing.

"Nothing." She said breaks eye contact with her, not wanting to play her game. As he looks away he notices a weapons store across the street, perfect place to restock on ammo. He quickly crossed the street, and headed in, his teammates following close behind.

As Krok entered the store he looked around, the weapons ranged from melee weapons like swords, maces, hammers and daggers to firearms like pistols, rifles, shotguns and such. The girls looked around none of them interested in the weapons to buy.

"Is there something you need Krok?" Ruby asked darting from weapon to weapon.

"Just a restock on ammo." Krok begins looking around before seeing what he was looking for, Dream Crushers. There was several varieties to the spear shaped bombs, fire, ice and lighting stuck out the most. There were also shrapnel, flash, and sound Dream Crushers. Krok picked up one of the fire ones, they were all about the size of a grapefruit though they didn't share the weight. Yang walked up quietly behind Krok, looking at his preferred ammo.

"Dream Crusher huh? What's with the name?"

"The joke is if you're fighting someone with this you'll crush whatever dream they have of winning." Krok hands Yang one of them, she hardly notices the weight, though any of her teammates would struggle to hold one, let alone three at a time. Krok grabs three fire Dream Crushers with Yang behind him, they quickly go up front, pay for them and watch as the man places the dust into the shells, arming them. They than leave the store, Yang having to drag Ruby out as she was staring at a sword that could change into a whip and rifle. After walking for a few seconds Ruby quickly gets in front of everyone.

"Alright now time for us to do what we came here to do." Everyone nodded, except Krok who was confused.

"Do what?" Ruby smiled at him in a similar fashion as Yang, this couldn't be good.

"We're going shopping, and you're coming with us." Yang walked next to Krok and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"I hope you don't plan on bolting," Krok wasn't fazed by her intimidation,

"Sure," everyone was slightly shocked thinking he would make a run for it.

"Really?" Yang asked with a hint of disappointment at not being able to chase the crocodile Faunus for running.

"How bad could it be? Shop, spend, time and such. I could think of worst things to do." Ruby smiled excitedly at Krok's willingness. She then began marching forward with everyone behind her.

Krok was beginning to regret this, the girls took forever! They would try one thing on look at it, say they don't like it try something else, say they don't like it. Then one more thing before going back to the original one or buying all three, making Krok carry all the bags.

Blake and Yang were somewhat alright, Ruby had a lot but with her speed she made it manageable, Weiss? She was the worst one! She would try on dozen of outfits again and again, say she doesn't like the tiniest of things with one before coming back later and seeing something wrong with another. The girls would give their advice to each other's clothing choices, though Krok remained quiet. Soon everyone seemed satisfied with their selection giving Krok all their bags. They knew the weight wouldn't be a problem, though he was bored out of his skull. As they paid for their cloths they exit the store. By now the sun as a orangish gold color as it was setting. Krok began heading toward the Beacon shuttle though felt a hand grab his collar and yank him back. Krok turned to see his blonde teammate dragging him in the opposite direction.

"You guys are seriously not done shopping yet?" He complained as he turned so Yang would stop dragging him.

"Oh relax, just one more store then we're done." She said not looking back at Krok. They kept walking for several minutes till they all stopped in front of another clothing store, this one was a guy's clothing store. Krok stopped and looked at them.

"This is for me isn't it?" They all nodded, Weiss walked up to Krok with her arms crossed.

"Look first off you need new clothes, the ones you have look like they'll fall apart and consider it our thank you for not being difficult the entire day." She said with the hint of a compliment besides her criticizing. Krok smiled he placed his hand on her head.

"See? I always knew you were a nice person Weiss." Weiss' quickly shook of his hand, her face red with a deep scowl.

"Hey! Hands off! I'm trying to do you a favor and this is my thanks!?" She quickly begins poking him in his chest multiple, Krok couldn't help but laugh a little. He put his hands up in defeat, hoping that would please her.

"Just messing with you, I'm thankful for wanting to get me cloths." Weiss relented as she led them into the store, preparing to get Krok more decent attire.

"No! No! That looks terrible! You need something that doesn't make you look like a bouncer." Weiss darted around Krok at a speed that would make Ruby jealous. She would grab clothes and hand them to Krok to try. They had been at this for over an hour at least. Krok felt like a man sized doll as he tried on multiple outfits. He had already found a few pairs that he liked though according to the heiress, they were too similar to his normal clothes. The second problem was his pants, because of his tail it made it impossible to wear them. To compensate Krok held them in front and the girls would critique them.

"Can't we just pick something from before and call it a day?" Krok asks, hoping to leave before the sun rises. Unfortunately Weiss doesn't appreciate his lack of patience.

"I'm sorry! Who are we buying cloths for? I'm trying to find something that'll look appropriate on you, and this is the thanks I get?!" Krok quickly looks behind her towards the other girls with a pleading look. Yang seems to enjoy the scene unfold so only waves at him, Ruby seemed more sympathetic though doesn't want to face the wrath of her white haired teammate. Only Blake seems to answer your pleading for help.

"Weiss, we all know you're great with clothing but, Krok is probably tired after everything. Plus we should get back to study for our classes." Weiss stopped for a second, considering her words before agreeing with her. Krok quietly thanks Blake who smiles and waves it off. Krok then himself went through the cloths and picked out the particular ones he liked.

He picked out a set of combat boots with several belt like straps zigzagging up them with black and red. The pants were black jeans with white streak going vertically on the right leg. His top wa a green and red shirt alternating between the two colors in a V shape. His jacket is a V Neck Wave with hardened plates on the chest, back, shoulders and forearms. Two small chains, one red and one blue went from both his shoulders and zigzag down his arm till they loop around his middle finger. On his hands were two leather fingerless gloves with several studs over the knuckles Krok extends his claws making sure they didn't get ripped, they fit. Finally he found a new scabbard for Night's Edge. The scabbard was a leather belt that crossed over his chest diagnology. It was adorned with a metal cover over the shoulder part and several pockets over the front for ammo. On the back there were multiple silver chains that were magnetic. As he places Night's Edge in the scabbard the chains quickly tighten around it and hold it in place. As he pulls it away there's slight resistance before it breaks away.

Krok then walked in front of the girls for their judgement. He walked slowly and held different poses for them.

"Wow! Krok you look ready for a fight!" Ruby said walking around Krok, eyeing Night's Edge in particular. Blake simply did a quick once over before nodding in approval. Weiss though preferring different cloths had to admit Krok's taste was pretty good, Yang liked his choice though, thought to have fun with him.

"Hey Krok~" her tone set off a hundred different alarms. "You look really nice~"

"Um...thanks?" She places her arm around Krok and moves her face closer and closer to Krok's. Krok's tail began swishing back and forth in rapid quick strokes, becoming more and more nervous. She then moves her mouth next to his ear. As she exhales slowly, Krok feels chills running up and down his spine making him go rigid. "You just~" she moves ever closer. "Look...so... adorable~" Yang stuck out her tongue and quickly and playfully licks his ear. She got the reaction she was hoping for, Krok flipped out, crying out in shock as his face became redder than Ruby's cloak.

"W-What The!?" He stammers his mind shutting down and overloading all at once. Yang began hysterically laughing, this was the best reaction she had ever got out of him. She walks slowly toward him, swaying her hips as she walks toward him.

"You want another Krocky?~" she walks closer slowly licking her lips. Krok jumps back in an attempt to distance himself, unfortunately his entire body was going haywire , causing him to stumble backwards and trip.

"Hey! Watch-" Krok fell onto someone, while he had enough time so he didn't fall completely on them he managed to partially crush whoever is under him. Krok lays on the ground with a slight pain from the fall. As he tries to get up he moves his hand closer, what he places it on feels strange.

"Why is the floor so soft and warm?" He said out loud. He then grabbed it, he felt silky cloth and something else, it had a layer of fine hair. Krok finally turned to look and he lost all the color in his face, the person he was on top of had on white and blue with a low cut. He looked further to see white hair and a set of icy blue eyes, Weiss. The both of them stared for several seconds Krok looked and saw his hand wasn't on the floor, it was her chest. Weiss' face quickly became redder and redder before letting out an ear piercing shriek.

"Weiss, look I'm really sorry!" Krok apologizes once again as they head for the Beacon shuttle. Krok's face still bore a clear and bright impression from the heiress slapping his face. Ruby and Blake wanted to talk things out between everyone, Weiss walks in front of everyone royalty pissed of at both Krok and Yang, Yang seems happy at the situation that unfolded enjoying the conflict, causing her to receive the glare from everyone especially Krok and Weiss.

"Okay Weiss, you have every right to be upset at me but I swear, I didn't-"

"Didn't what?!" She shouts, quickly turning to face him. Her expression was of complete hate and embarrassment. Her look sent a chill down Krok's back almost like Goodwitch when completed the initiation. "You didn't mean to fall on me and grope me?! Or you didn't mean to say my chest is flat like the floor!?"She quickly advances on Krok, unleashing her full wrath.

"Okay, I'll admit I was a little bit disoriented. And I fully understand why you may be a little upset."

"Little?! I'm absolutely furious!" She shouts causing Krok to wince. "Right now I want to take your sword and cut you up! Your only saving grace is you're both to heavy!" She goes on seeming to have to limit to her anger, "To be groped by you then have my chest compared to the floor, the nerve! After all I did for you, this is my thanks?!" She then marches till their inches from each other, forcing Krok to look down at the tiny ice fury. "Well?! What do you have to say for yourself?!" She places her hands on her hip with the same pissed off look.

"Weiss, look I'm-"

"Yes I know you're SORRY you've been saying that this whole time!" She then grabs his collar and pulls him down, more him letting her do it. "Let me make something clear; you don't touch me, you don't talk to me, you don't look at me, heck! You don't think about me till I can look at you without wanting to run you through got it?" She says in a fierce whisper, Krok nods his head, she quickly lets go before walking ahead quickly. Krok sighs, how could a day that seemed so good turn fubar is a matter of minutes? Krok simply walks on keeping his distance between Weiss and Yang, not wanting to anger one, and wanting nothing to do with another.

Meuzrug chuckled to itself as they cross the massive expanse of sea that separates its home from those who posses aura. It had been a while since his last skirmish with them, he enjoyed toying with them , listen to their cries of pain and suffering. His tongue snakes out and licks his upper jaw in anticipation.

With it was a small group, mostly youngsters with several veterans mixed in the group. It watches them, the younger ones growing impatient while the experienced Grimm simply sit and wait, preparing to face the hunters. As it watches them it looks down at the surface it's standing on. It's the back of a Macrocephalus, a massive Grimm that slowly travels over the surface of the water, function as a ferry for the land bound Grimm. The Grimm had bone white armor cover its enormous head with piercing red eyes on each side of it's head. Over it are red streak markings that seem to branch out from a center point on the forehead. It's mouth is thin with thick golden teeth in two rows, it's two stubby fins have bone armor on them and a series of sales plates running down to its tail. Meuzrug uses one of its smaller arms to scratch it head, cocking it 90 degrees in the opposite direction, it quickly gallops forward till it's standing on the bony forehead, he looks forward, his eyes scanning for land.

From below the water Grimm lets out a deep bellow gaining the attention of the rest of the Grimm, it keeps bellowing as it communicates its findings; the sea floor is rising, their nearing land. Meuzrug begins to lightly chuckle to itself,

"Here we come little hunters! Here Meuzrug comes my little hunters! Here this one comes to play with you! Here this one come, to hear your suffering!" The Grimm says happily to itself, it's head doing a complete 360 before it starts laughing, first it's a slight chuckle, then it becomes a full laugh, it rises further, become a full cackle. It spreads its four arms out toward the sky while it continues to laugh and cackle like and psychopath.

"HERE MEUZRUG, THE SAVAGE COMES, COME TO KILL ALL OF YOU!" It cries with a bloodthirsty look in its red eyes, it's come to avenge its fallen comrades, and to have fun.

Alright everyone! I hope this made people laugh and sense the aminous feeling in the air! For the record, I love all the girls on Team RWBY and felt this would be perfect for Weiss!
