(Hey everyone, how's your semester going so far? Can't believe how warm it is here where I am. Here's my latest chapter with Predaking after Blake had declared that she was taking the White Fang back from those who would tarnish the organization's true purpose. This chapter's will have some summarization on Predaking's part as he was injured and needed more rest to bring his Aura levels back to how they were when he first arrived on Remnant.

Let's see how his recovery is doing since he got that wound so close to his heart, shall we?

Reminder: This is a story that works in correlation with Ryujudge6614's "Transformers RWBY: The Flames of Redemption", which focuses on Yang and Ruby while my story focuses on Weiss and Blake after the Fall of Beacon.
 I strongly suggest that you all who have not read his story do so, it's what inspired me to go to him and work with him by writing this very story with his.

Now please Read, Review, and Enjoy. Really hope you do enjoy it)

Predaking awoke in his borrowed room. Since Blake made the decision to take back the White Fang, they have been going through everything they could to stop the extremists from being prepared on Menagerie to support Adam's troops. So far he hadn't heard how their missions went. Especially as Blake had, somehow, without him know of the cause, had insisted that he remained in bed for most of the time. What confused him more was the fact that he had not protested as he usually do if ordered by someone, other than one he respected greatly, such as his charge's father, Ghira.

However, he was allowed to leave the confines of his forced respite in his given chambers, should he get hungry, need to bathe, or use the reliever which organic beings need to do due their digestive systems.

He got up, and went to the bathroom in the building. He groaned as he placed the towel over his injured shoulder. Wearing his pants as he left his room. It has been some days since their confrontation with Ilia but he just laid there letting his body recover, he was able to make a defense with his aura, but he does not know how to use it as a means of healing his wounds. He then snorted, 'Guess it is due to my warrior nature, or the fact that I was cloned into existence.'

He continued on his way to the bathroom while making sure that he was not giving the impression that his wound hurts. He was greeted by one of the Menagerie guards who walked in the opposite direction. Ever since the night with Ilia spying on his charge, Ghira had requested that the Menagerie guard to keep the Belladonna household secure. Those of the guard that had not been busy securing the oasis as well as those there when he used his "Semblance" as they called it, to melt the rock sides to make walls to secure the route between the Oasis and Kuo Kuana.

'But that dream when I took that hit for Wukong… was it really a memory of my original self or was it just an idle fiction of my spark close to extinguishing?' Predaking reached for the door, so deep in thought he didn't notice that it was locked and broke it open.

'And even then, why am I now just…' The moment he did he stared at a shape that made him freeze. Standing behind the curtain was Blake, who was reaching for her towel when she heard the door breaking in. Her ears stood up at the shock of seeing Predaking there as Predaking was as shocked to have seen her there. Her ears flattened when her face took on an expression of embarrassment and fury, even as her face turned bright red. Predaking's face became just as red for reasons unknown to the Predacon. She let out a loud scream and covered as much as she could with the curtain, holding it up to her neck and began chucking things at him demanding, "What're you doing?!"

"I didn't know you were there, I swear!" Predaking exclaimed, he was so affected by this situation, and the fear of failing his mission and lost being on good terms with his charge, that he used a contraction. Even as the items were flung at him with full force by the strength in her arms. He did not defend himself, or to be more accurate, could not as he was unable to turn his eyes away.

Blake took out something metal, actually pulled it off the wall, and chucked it, "GET OUT!"

It slammed into Predaking's face, which made the Dragon Faunus fell backwards, the back of his head hitting the wall. Blake kept herself covered as she tried to get the door back up. Predaking remained that way, thoughts of him failing his people haunted him worse than ever as he went and helped take the door from her. Before Blake could scream or throw anything else at him, she saw the look in his eyes and it seemed like he became empty inside even as he muttered, "All is lost… I failed…"

Blake remained that way even as Predaking closed it to spare her more humiliation as Sun can running, asking, "What's wrong?! Is it the White Fang again?!"

Predaking remained silent and returned to his room. Sun looked after the dragon faunus and asked, "Hey Pred! Where'd you going?"

He got no answer, even as he knocked on the bathroom door, not even looking as it opened due to the latch being broken, "Blake? Any idea why Pred's acting so… Whoa.."

He stopped seeing Blake covering herself with the shower curtain, before she let out another scream and slapped him hard on the face… again…

Predaking entered his room and went to lay on his bed, as thoughts of the others that live in this home would think of him once Blake and Sun tell them what happened. Remembering the "Birds and the Bees" talk with Ghira that night made him take a vow to respect the female anatomy should he incur the wrath of the females if they think of him as a dishonorable cretin.

He laid there for hours felt that he had humiliated Blake so much that his spark began to feel very cold… colder than the frozen wastes on Earth. He gritted his teeth as all that sadness of his failure turned into anger at himself and let out a roar.

Immediately after all the shouting had died down Ghira and Kali got the whole story about the disturbance that happened some time ago with the bathroom. Ghira was at first furious about what happened. He had half of a mind to imprison both Predaking and Sun for what happened. Sun was still nursing his sore cheek even though it's been close to an hour since he received his latest slap.

Blake however was sitting there fuming about what happened, however, that expression of failure and emptiness that had fallen on Predaking's face after had haunted her. Well she wasn't really expecting Predaking to walk through the bathroom door like that, though now that she had calmed down, she did see the look of shock on his face. That brought the empty look on his face back to her mind. It almost was like he was…

"What's wrong dear?" Blake heard her mother ask, which pulled her from her thoughts.

"Huh?" Blake asked, confused, but seeing as everyone was looking at her, she said, "I'm sorry, did you say something mom?"

"You seem distracted despite what just happened…" Kali told her, as the other two in the room seemed surprised by this before getting curious.

Blake looked down at her hands, tightening them, as she spoke, "Since I met him, Predaking had always had a fire burning inside him, keeping him from falling into self-pity and giving up when most do after what he had been through… He truly looked like his whole world had shattered after that. And it worries me…"

Ghira raised a brow at that, no other young man had Blake put much thought into, except for Adam…

Sun looked over and asked, "What're you trying to say?"

"Predaking was born differently from us, he is still having trouble with understanding how the world is compared to what he had to suffer from that Megatron guy… He also speaks in a very archaic manner almost like an actual king… and since he holds himself into that position…" Blake theorized, making the room get very quiet.

Sun however asked, "Wait… that's a lil extreme don't you think?"

"He holds himself in such a position, it might be possible to regain his honor." Blake began to worry more.

Kali tried to say something but they all heard a familiar roar from above them and Blake was the first to run out of the room, moving as fast as she made it in time before the obviously upset young man from doing something irreversible and extreme.

Ghira looked down and remember that he mentioned to the dragon Faunus about how much of a serious offense it was, but he never expected Predaking to go towards such lengths to undo what he had done…

Predaking let his fury out as he slammed his fists into the closet and other furniture in the room while he clawed at the bed before he took deep breathes before he realized what he did and growled. Predaking looked at his claws and began to rack them across his body, making sure his aura was deactivated for now as he wants to punish himself for this act of dishonor.

Memories of those who called him a "beast" filled his mind as he kept punishing himself in attempts to regain his honor for what had happened with Blake in the bathroom. He could only think of one way to regain his honor, he must commit an act that would risk his life.

"Predaking! What're you doing?!" Optimus Prime had arrived in time to see what was happening.

"Do not stop me Prime, I must do this to regain my honor!" Predaking shouted, as he readied his claws to run himself through. He pulled his claws back as he was about to do the act before Optimus asked, "What about your mission?"

"My mission pales in comparison to humiliation I committed against the one I was supposed to protect." Predaking, somewhat surprising Optimus, though he was glad that the Predacon before him had begun to feel something for Blake, it might yield to more pleasing results, however what he plans to do was not a good sign.

Optimus tried to stop his latest guardian and asked, "And you do proceed to find some life-ending means of regaining your honor, how would Blake Belladonna be able to cope? All of the efforts you had put to help her see a better way would have been for nothing if you did this."

Predaking stopped, where he thought of the prime's words, would his charge really feel as though his death would be her fault? She did blame herself for how he had injured himself because of Ilia, and especially the other members of her former team at the fall of beacon. So far she seemed to blame every misfortune that befell her on herself and nothing else. Predaking began to ponder about this before he shook his head. A king must always have resolve for everything, especially when he must right a wrong involving someone important. The Prime's words seemed to wonder why he was more upset about the humiliation he placed upon Blake instead of his failing to bring the Predacons back from extinction on Cybertron. Predaking remained in silence before he told Optimus, "Leave me, Prime. I must do this…"

"As you wish… but you do not need to be so hasty in what you believe when someone comes to stop you." Optimus said before he disappeared, as though he knew something.

Predaking dismissed it as a ploy to steer him away from this act of regaining his honor. He raised his claws up and prepared when...

"PREDAKING!"

He stopped, slowly turned to see the very person he had humiliated by his own blunder, standing there at the doorway, somewhat breathing as she ran there.

He was in shock that she was there, before he looked away in shame of himself and said, "Blake, leave me..."

"You really think I would leave if you're going to kill yourself, just because of what happened?" Blake asked, though she knew it was a mistake, the worse kind of punishment would be imprisonment, with her father being chief that is.

"I have done you a great dishonor. I must do something to reclaim it as well as my own..." Predaking stated as he closed his eyes and got ready to use his claws.

Predaking was about to do the deed when he heard, "No!"

After feeling something on his chest, he halted in his attempt of self-sacrifice, where he saw Blake grabbing hold of him. This confused Predaking greatly. Why would she put herself in harm's way to make sure he remained breathing?

This confused Predaking greatly. As he saw her eyes leaking water. When he tried to say something she stopped him as she spoke first, "I lost so much at the Fall of Beacon, some were my friends… others were people that I respected… and I almost lost one of my best friend and teammate that night. Please don't be one more life lost because of me…"

Predaking stared into her eyes and saw how much his death would be harmful to her, more than the damage he did to her honor. She shook her head and silently sobbed into his chest. Seeing as there was nothing he can do against her pleadings, he relented and lowered his claws. Blake kept crying on his chest. He placed his claw on her back to try and help he calm down, slowly rubbing it, as he saw when one time when Ghira was assuring Blake about something while he was in recovery. This action seemed to be the way to be a way to comfort those in distress. And he does so as gently as possible as to not harm her with his claws.

Behind them was Blake's parents, who watched the scene before them. They were both glad that their daughter was able to prevent the self-sacrifice that their guest tried to commit, but her words shocked them. Did she really blame herself for everything that had happened when Beacon fell?

However, they remained silent as they watched the scene before them. It took some time but Blake finally calmed down as she exited the room so that her father could have a world with their guest.

Blake sat while she looked back when her father talked to Predaking about his behavior about endangering himself. She was glad she was able to stop the dragon Faunus from taking his own life, but she was still confused about something…

'Why did I throw myself on to him like that? Did I really want to try to save a life because of what happened…?' Blake thought as she didn't really know the reason why, but was glad she did.

Looking over she her father leave the thrashed room and asked, "What's gonna happen to him?"

"Predaking will be remaining in his room until he understands how… bad it would've been if he had gone through with his plan." He sighed and said, "I only told him that level of seriousness of what would happen just for him to understand… I didn't think he'd take that as a death sentence…"

He looked over and said, "Though, if you want I could…"

"No… I just… wasn't thinking clearly when it happened… I think he learned his lesson." Blake told him, though she did feel guilty that the dragon Faunus wanted to end his own life because of the mistake. And she was sure he didn't see anything though the shower curtain. She then left as she had to help Sun find Ilia's associate.

Days have passed and since then and all that time Predaking remained as he was, showing how he regretted the trouble he caused. He had heard from Sun that the Fuanus they were after had escaped which set things back for them, however, this also meant that it was time to go to the headquarters of the Menagerie White Fang. Hopefully this will allow them to put the two Albain brothers behind bars with the evidence they had gotten from Ilia's phone.

The five of them began walking to the entrance of the White Fang building on Menagerie. It looked very… humble for an organization created to bring equality for the Faunus. Too humble in Predaking's opinion but he kept his voice to himself, especially as many of the White Fang stared at the large Faunus that came with the Belladonnas. Some had expressions of awe at him while others were nervous, and others where trying hard to hide their glares for the Dragon Faunus. Once they reached the entrance, two Faunus, one with what appeared to be dragon wings, in Predaking's confusion, on his back and the other had grey coloring on her hands approached.

"Chief Belladonna. It is an honor for you to visit us." The man with the wings said, respectfully to Ghira and his family while accepting the two guests as part of their party.

"Brother Yuma correct?" Ghira asked, remembering the man with the wings.

The winged man nodded, "I'm honored that you remember my name."

He then introduced the woman next to him, "This is sister Trifa."

She bowed her head in respect to Ghira and his wife, "It's a pleasure to meet you both."

"We're here to see Corsac and Fennec, could you both please let us see them?" Ghira asked, his tone was indifferent but respectful.

Yuma and Trifa bowed their heads as they said, "It will be our honor to lead you to brother Fennec and brother Corsac."

The two turned and led their guests into the building. More of the members of the White Fang did indeed not wear the mask that Ilia and other Faunus of the White Fang who seem to wear masks. He ignored the looks he got from the faunus as they kept following the two who led them

Predaking continued to stare in shock at what he thought were dragon wings much like himself and the Grimm he fought with both Blake and Sun.

"Pardon me. Brother Yuma." Predaking asked, eyes focused on Yuma's wings, he had been trying to decide if the Faunus' wings were similar to the wings he had back before he took on this Faunus form. Or if they were some sort of other creatures native to this world that could've evolved from a race similar to the Predacons like the creatures of Earth's lore.

Yuma turned confused, "Yes?"

"Your wings. Are they not Dragon wings?" Predaking asked, hopeful that Yuma maybe a descendant of the Predacons but was brought to Remnant by some force.

Everyone who didn't know about his origins was curious about his question, however the man answered, confused by the question at first, "No… They are wings from a bat."

Seeing the guest of the chief taken a crestfallen expression, Yuma said, "I apologize if my answer wasn't the one you were seeking."

"It is… fine…" Predaking dismissed, giving a convincing performance that he was not upset in any way that Yuma was not like him. Blake, however, was not as easy to believe as the others seemed to be. She knew the reason behind Predaking's question and felt sorry for dashed hopes. She kept her eyes on Predaking, worried if he would begin going into a rampage, but instead all she saw was sadness for a false hope of others similar to him.

They reached a room with a big portrait of a figure with hooded, but his face was hidden, the fox ears showed that it was a Faunus, perhaps an ancestor to the two brothers. On each side of the portrait, the wooden walls were tapestries of the White Fang symbol that Sierra Kahn had made since she took command. Both Yuma and Trifa remained by the doors just as the Albain brothers finished their meditation and saw that they had guests. Fennec was the first to speak, "Your Grace, It's a pleasure to see you and your family here this afternoon."

"For what purpose would you have to come and see us in our monastery?" Corsac asked, refusing to even look at Predaking.

Ghira pulled out Ilia's scroll and showed it to them, "We found this on Ilia the very same night that she was seen spying on our home."

Ghira continued on explaining what he found while Predaking saw that Corsac and Fennec were not even looking at him, not like how the two behind them were, almost as if he was something that could easily be a large pile of dust. Ghira even showed them what was in the scroll.

The twins remained silent as they looked at each other before they both looked as though they were saddened, Corsac was the first to speak, "Sadly your grace, we fear that you and we have been deceived."

"Excuse me?" Sun asked stunned. He thought they had everything they needed to put these two away in jail.

Fennec turned and said, "After our talk when Lady Blake returned home, we began to investigate every one of our brothers and sisters and recently found this."

He pulled out Ilia's mask and a second scroll. He held them for all to see, "These were in Sister Ilia's chamber. It would seem that she, by wearing this mask, and having documents similar to the one you found, made it evident that she had joined with Adam Taurus' splinter group and incriminated us by putting our names into her scroll's documents."

They took on disappointed expressions as Corsac, "Naturally we do not know that he was planning to take a coup to High Leader Kahn. But this only confirmed our… regrettable findings. How disappointed we are to find the young Ilia had joined forces with the splinter group…"

"Yes, it is saddening to hear when one has turned away from the light and began to believe the fictional tales spun by others who wish to tarnish everything we work hard to do." Fennec agreed, while showing a slight glare in Predaking's direction, "Especially as to his intentions for the people he ensnared, wouldn't you agree, your grace?"

Ghira saw where he was going with this and gave a glare of his own. Evidently, Kali knew exactly who the two fox brothers were talking about, and she was close to losing her cool. Blake, wasn't as restraint, "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Clearly that not everyone is not what they seem compared to their true intentions and origins." Corsac told Blake, with a subtle way of saying they both know about Predaking's origins.

Predaking's face became one of shock before he gritted his teeth, revealing sharp canines. Before he could attack, Sun jabbed him on his shoulder, to remind him where he was while he held a straight face as best he could before Ghira said to the two, "I see… thank you for your time… Have a good night, gentlemen."

No one said a word while they walked through the corridors and out of the headquarters of the Menagerie White Fang.

Once they had returned to the Belladonna Family Home, Ghira was the first to say something when he entered his home, shouted angrily, "Unbelievable!"

Sun then added, as angrily as the chief, "Total garbage!"

Ghira and Sun burst in through the front doors, angry… actually they were past angry and were downright in outrage by what had happened. Kali and Predaking watched from the doorway, as they remained silent and listened.

Ghira let out a growl, and he and Sun turned to each other, shouting simultaneously, "We can't let them get away with this!"

With a smile, Kali commented, "Well, at least you two can finally agree on something."

"Indeed, never in a millennia would I see the day of this miraculous event." Predaking commented. True he was still mad at the Albain brothers as well, but a moment of both Sun and Ghira agreeing on anything, took the anger from his stomach. It made Kali stifle a laugh behind her hand while Blake mutely laugh behind her hands at the attempt at humor that the dragon Faunus had made.

The two angry men look at the two who spoke to them, then back at each other. Sun gave an awkward chuckle while rubbing his head. Ghira glared slightly and growl, fists clenched. The three soon have their attention called to Blake, who speaks up from the porch, "Guys. Everything's going to be okay."

Predaking looked to the black haired young woman and asked, "How are you be certain of that, Blake?"

"I don't know… but with the rate we're going, I'm sure that this'll work out in the end." Blake confessed, giving a gentle smile on her lips. Her parents were glad that their daughter had been able to see more of the positive side of things.

'Blake has certainly come out of her shell since she returned home. But is this change for the better? And did I have a cause in it? Is that why she was so adamant to stop me when I tried to regain the honor of herself and my own?' Predaking wondered as the rest of them proceeded to eat for the meal known as dinner.

When their meals had been prepared, Predaking was alone to himself while thinking back to what he knows. Not only does Adam knows about him being cloned, or created, by a "human" then it will stand to reason that anyone who knows about him or do not give him the awe-inspired expressions that he earned due to his height and unique heritage is in league with the usurper. Well, for those not wearing the Grimm like masks. Blake had remained silent in that time.

A little while later, Blake exits her father's study, stepping out onto the balcony where an armored guard is standing. The guard turned and addressed her, "Good evening, miss. Can I get you anything?"

Blake told the guard, "Just a little time to myself, if that's alright."

"Sure thing. Just call, if you need me." The guard walks into Ghira's study, shutting the door behind her.

Blake took a deep sigh and is soon alerted by a familiar voice, "You need better security."

Alarmed, Blake turns to see Ilia drop down onto the railing. The young Belladonna reaches for the door, but Ilia holds her hand up, "Please! I-I just need to talk. Especially now that living weapon, you got so close to, has finally left you alone."

Blake slowly takes her hand away from the door. Blake then asked, sternly, "How could you take the fall for them, Ilia?"

Ilia stood up, as she tried to speak, "Blake..."

However, Blake interrupted her, "Corsac and Fennec blamed you. We confronted them tonight, and they deny knowing anything and everything found on your Scroll. They talked about how disappointed they were to hear that you'd sided with Adam. But you and I both know they're guilty."

"You can't prove anything. Especially with that fake Faunus hanging over your shoulders."

Blake glared at her, she was getting sick and tired of people calling Predaking a fake, just because he was born differently than everyone else. She remained on subject and told Ilia, "That scroll might not have been enough to lock them up, but it's enough to sway the Faunus here. When we go public tomorrow, they're not going to stand for any of it. And neither should you."

Ilia removes her mask, a solemn expression on her face, "Your plan isn't gonna work, Blake."

Blake saw Ilia looking at her and begged, "Please... just leave Menagerie before its too late. Get away from that fake before he-"

"Stop calling him that! He's not a fake. He's not a weapon. He's a person! No different from any Faunus living here!" Blake shouted, despite herself, remembering how she defended Sun against the discrimination from Weiss Schnee when they met him.

Ilia gritted her teeth, when she tried to get through to Blake, "There's no place on Remnant for something that was made in a lab."

"Do you hear yourself? You sound just like the humans do about our kind!" Blake snapped back,

"Our kind? That thing was made by the humans to be a weapon against us! IT's a weapon grown from a pastry dish by humans thinking they can play god! To ruin the reputation of the true faunus!" Ilia shot back, angrily.

Blake stood her ground, "No he wasn't! If anyone's a fake it's Adam! Especially how he only cares about himself!"

Ilia stood her ground, shouting, "Adam's done more for the Faunus than that fake ever did! He fought for us, killed for us! Put himself on the line to make sure that we get what we deserve!"

Blake narrowed her eyes at that line, it was what Adam had use a lot to get support from Faunus who were either scared or unsure about the path they had taken with the White Fang. Predaking, though not up to speed about things as everyone else, even had put himself on the line like that for someone who annoyed him when they first met.

"Predaking told us how he was brought into existence and why he was different from us. He told us as much about himself as he could!" Blake countered, taking steps towards the shocked Ilia where she continued, "Predaking was there when the Feilong attacked the ship I was on, helped us fight it and keep everyone safe. Predaking made it possible for us to make a new settlement outside of Kuo Kuana where we can grow and expand instead of being cooped up together like animals in cages. Predaking was there for us when we chased you that night."

Ilia's feelings of hatred at Predaking and jealousy of him being so close to Blake made her growl Blake could see Ilia's face become one of utter fury as she let out a growl. After calming down, Ilia said, "I'm going to say it one more time… Please leave Menagerie, leave that weapon behind."

Blake stared at her in silence for a few moments, before she said in a determined tone, "You're going to have to make me."

Ilia remains silent for a few moments before responding, sadly, her color changing to represent her sadness, "I know."

The chameleon Faunus donned her mask once again and stepped backward off the balcony. Blake turned away and gained an angry expression, her cat ears folding. After a moment, the anger faded, and she sighed, taking on a saddened expression. At that moment the guard from before came through the door at the sound of shouting.

Predaking had retired to his room as he thought about everything that transpired the previous day. He was angry about more knowing about his being creature by cloning than natural, why should it matter that he emerged from a tank instead of how the hatchlings of this world did. He turned to his side and began to sleep. As he slept he began to have a dream of himself being held in the center while two lights shined towards him. On one side was the future he had envision of himself and the Predacons walking on Cybertron's soil once again, the other was Blake, her back to him. He did not know why but he was caught as to why he was hesitating his choice on which to choose. When took a step to one, the other was close to being engulfed in flames. To keep both around, he remained in the middle.

He couldn't seem to choose which one was more important to him. Didn't helping her mean helping the Predacons flourish on Cybertron again?

The next day, everyone was quiet during breakfast, Predaking noticed that Blake's father was not there. Looking to the mother of his charge, Predaking asked, "Pardon me, Madam Belladonna, but where is your other half?"

"Hmm?" Kali asked, slightly confused by the young man's archaic words for a second before translating it and said, "Ghira's in his office, he spent the past few days preparing a speech until yesterday, he's just working on perfecting it."

Predaking nodded as he looked over to Blake, and saw her worried. He placed his utensils down and carefully placed his hand over hers. While Sun was busy chowing down on the food, Kali noticed and smiled warmly at what she saw. It almost reminded her of when she and Ghira were young.

Blake, who was busy with her worries about what Ilia said the previous night, was worried about what she would do to stop her and her family getting the support to protect Haven Academy. She felt something scaley and saw Predaking's claw over her hand. She smiled back at the gesture, however, hearing her mother sighing, made both turn to see Kali sighing at what she assumed. Blake then pulled her hand back and look away, face tint pink at what just happened. Predaking, however, was confused by this and looked around for clarification. He didn't get any onto why Blake turned away like that.

After breakfast, Predaking went to his room and had a lot to think about was still confused by the strange sensations in his chest. It was not pain, sorrow, or anger, which he knew. His spark began beating quickly and the warmth in his chest felt pleasant.

When he arrived to his repaired room, he looked to his reflection in the mirror, "Prime. Are you available to talk?"

His reflection began to ripple before it changed to Optimus Prime, who smiled, "I am pleased to hear from you again Predaking. How is your mission going?"

"We are currently awaiting for the chieftan of Menagerie to speak to the populace on the documents we found involving the coup orchestrated by Adam Taurus. Hopefully it will rally them to the cause of protecting Haven academy." Predaking reported.

Optimus nodded and asked, "Is something the matter?"

Predaking was silent before he said, "Recently I have detected sensations within my chest… I do not know the source of it. I have narrowed the possibilities of it being, either a Semblance assault, or some form of biological threat, such as a virus."

Optimus was silent for a moment before he asked, "Has this always happened when you are in proximity to Blake Belladonna?"

Predaking nodded, though not understanding why. Optimus then said, "As you know, emotions can be a great source of strength. The feelings you experience is natural for all living beings, especially organic races as humans and Faunus."

Predaking remained silent, "But… why her? Not that I have anything against the Femme Feline, so I must ask: Is it because of my position of her protector or something else?"

Optimus smiled, he was about to say before he turned his attention and said, "I must go, I will come to see you soon."

With that Optimus Prime disappeared and Predaking sighed as he went to go with the Belladonnas and Sun in the main hall. Where he found Ghira, wearing glasses, pace back and forth where he looked over at a piece of paper in hands, while his family Blake, and other guest Sun, all waited for him to be ready to deliver with his speech for the assembled Faunus outside the large home. Ghira then stopped his pacing and took one last look at the speech he has written down, before he let out a sigh. His wife placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder and asked, "Are you ready?"

"Yes. It won't be easy for the people to hear, but the truth often isn't. I know they'll do the right thing." Ghira told them all, which made Predaking confused. From what he witnessed when the leaders say something, their subordinates do without question. Perhaps that was how the Decepticons led… but the Faunus… they definitely shared similarities with his own species, the Predacons. He faced similar persecutions and sufferings at the hands of those who saw themselves as above himself. His claws tightened at the memories of the negatives in his life before he met with Blake.

Blake then came up and placed a hand on her father's arm, giving an affectionate snuggle. Suddenly, the three are taken by surprise when another hand pats on Ghira's back. He looked behind to see Sun, who told him, "You got this."

The three Belladonnas, and Predaking, gave a brief look at Sun, for what Predaking assumed as he stepped into another family moment, where he stood back and smiled. Ghira then opened the doors as his family and the two young men step out of the home to greet the crowd gathering outside of the Belladonna house. Some people in the crowd were wearing badges and held scrolls up to record the event. Others in attendance included Corsac and Fennec Albain, who had their heads bowed, as well as Saber Rodentia and other Menagerie Guards. Ghira stepped up to the podium and raises his hand to quiet the crowd down. Blake stood behind Ghira on his right while Predaking stood behind him on the left. Those with the badges looked on at him with shock and awe by his heritage containing both horns and claws, as well as his physical height being close to Ghira Belladonna's.

He then spoke to the assembled populace, "Thank you all for assembling here. I wanted to take time to address some of the rumors that have been circulating around our island. I believe that it is important for the people of this territory to understand the truth. No matter how you feel about the human race, I think we can all agree that the event now known as the Fall of Beacon was a tragedy. A tragedy that will set both man and Faunus-kind back. While the main aggressor is still unknown, we do have official confirmation that Adam Taurus…" As Ghira spoke, Predaking saw that he had gave the brothers a glare for the brief moment that Adam Taurus' name was mentioned, "…the leader of a powerful splinter group working inside the White Fang, was partially responsible for these attacks. His actions not only tarnished the reputation of an organization originally created to bring peace and equality to all, but to our entire race. With each day that this man remains unpunished, it becomes increasingly difficult to condemn those that look down upon us."

The crowd starts murmuring among themselves. Ghira raises his hand again to quiet the crowd down before he continued his speech, "Recently, a spy from the same splinter group set their sights on this very home. My own daughter, Blake, and her friends did their very best to apprehend this individual. While they were unsuccessful after being physically assaulted and seriously injured, they were successful in obtaining the assailant's Scroll." Ghira took out the scroll from inside his coat, "With this, we have been able to ascertain that Adam Taurus has plans to overthrow the current leader of the White Fang, Sienna Khan, and take over the reins himself."

At this, the crowd started to murmur loudly in concern at the same time as the chief continued, "His radical plans do not stop there, the documents on this scroll proclaim his next target to be Haven Academy and its attached CCT Tower. Their plan is to strike on the last full moon before the beginning of the fall semester, roughly two months from today. I have sent my swiftest messenger to the government of Mistral, but I believe we have a greater responsibility. My relationship with the White Fang has been... an interesting one. Years ago, I led the organization to help try and create a world where I, and every Faunus who wished, could walk alongside the human race. And while I believe we made great strides toward this goal, it was made clear to me that the people both in and out of the White Fang wanted faster results. So I stepped down, and Sienna Khan was appointed as my successor. It's true that I do not fully condone many of her methods. What I do condone is what Sienna fights for: the idea that the Faunus and humans are, and should be, equal. Adam Taurus does not seem to have that goal in mind. What he has done benefits no one but himself. I think it's time that the Faunus showed the world that we are equals! Time that we snuff out this splinter group, and restore the White Fang to what it once was!"

The crowd begins to cheer at this remark in response. Predaking felt as though the rallying for support to the cause will proceed without any problems.

"To do this, I think the answer is clear, we must go to Haven and protect it at all costs!" Ghira announced to the crowd. Predaking was sure the emotions they feel from the chief's speech would carry the people to volunteer to Ghira's plan. However, at those words, the crowd suddenly stopped cheering at once, showing some hesitance. Predaking stared confused by this.

Ghira saw this and cleared his throat, "Before we proceed any further, I'd like to invite my daughter to come and share her story. Not only as a former member of the White Fang, but also as a survivor of the Fall of Beacon."

Blake steps up to the podium and faces her father, who reassured her, "You can do this."

Before she could speak, suddenly, a familiar voice yells out from the crowd, "TRAITORS!"

Everyone turned and saw Ilia uncloak herself, wearing her Grimm mask and clenching her teeth angrily. Blake gave a surprised look before she glared back at her. Predaking and Sun glared intensely at Ilia for her interrupting Ghira's speech to inspire the Faunus.

Ilia then began to rant angrily, "Cowards... After everything the humans have done to us, everything they've put us through, you're asking us to help them?!"

"I know we haven't been treated fairly..." Ghira tried to diffuse the situation, but it didn't work…

"Where was their help when the Dust companies treated our people like slaves?!" Ilia asked, her anger growing with each word she spoke, "Where was their help when Kingdoms hunted Faunus just for being who they are?! Where was my help when my parents were killed in a Dust mine?! WHERE?!"

Predaking knew that the Faunus were not treated fairly, but to be hunted down, that was one of the most infuriating things… What stopped his anger for a moment was that Ilia mentioned that her parents were killed, and by his observation of how Blake and her parents act, parents are an important for not just shaping the minds of their offspring, but also for emotional strength. To think he once looked down on the humans that helped the Prime when he fought against Megatron. And it looked like Ilia took the loss as a breaking point to turn all her anger on the humans for everything they have done to the Faunus.

"Young lady, progress takes patience and cooperation!" Ghira tried again, almost speaking like a certain Prime that Predaking knew. But prone to lose his temper when things get worse.

However, Ilia didn't listen while she continued her protest, "The Belladonnas are the worse kind of Faunus! They want us to work with the same people that are trying to hold us down! Who created the fake Faunus that now stands before us now just before it turns against us and used by those people, like any weapon!" She accused, pointing at Predaking, who let out a low growl, but held himself back to keep his temper from justifying her lies.

"If you truly, truly want to help your people now is the time to support Adam, not the Belladonnas! He will bring about the future that you deserve. And if you are unwilling to fight, know that the White Fang will do it for you! And WE will keep you safe from any weapons, like that fake, from harming you!"

"SHUT UP!" Sun's voice echoed throughout the crowd before he leapt out of the crowd towards Ilia, but she used her weapon to get out of the way and flee. When Sun landed, he looked around to see where she has gone, but no sign of her is found.

"After her!" Saber ordered before some of the Menagerie guards move to chase down Ilia. Predaking watched them, anticipating what would happen, if he was not able to sniff her out by her scent they won't be able to either. He spied Corsac and Fennec exchange evil smiles. So… they were in on this as well… that made more sense. Blake and Ghira angrily glare from the stage, while Kali had a worried look on her face. Predaking glared as well took steps to assist in pursuing the fleeing spy, only to see the once awed looks on those assembled became fear at his approach. He looked around to see that everyone, except those who knew him the most had the same fear and anger in their eyes by what Ilia told them about him. He chose to avoid the looks of the other Faunus. He did not need to know what they were thinking to know that the chameleon's words still rung in their ears, especially the part of his being made as a weapon by someone to destroy them. Just like when he was with the Decepticons.

( So, what did you all think? I've been distracted figuring out my new schedule so i apologize for the delayed update. I know that how I made Predaking feel after that little accident may be a little extreme, but remember how emotional he is? and the fact he literally doesn't know about how things are between male and females of any species, so anyone who holds themselves in such a position with honor and the naivety might think that way and may go to extremes to make things right.

Now then, How was Corsac and Fennec able to get an exact duplicate of the info found on Ilia's phone? Is Kali going to be in favor of Predaking being with Blake instead of Sun? What will Predaking do now that the Faunus are afraid of him being a "human weapon" just because he was born through cloning? What are both sides of this conflict going to do?

P.S. depending on what my partner in crime is going to do with his Megatron/Yang chapter, will affect what I will do with my Dreadwing/Weiss chapter. So RyuJudge6614, let me know in a PM asap.)
