For all of you're reviews, and following several of your recent ones I am using my good friend KingandCommoner, author of the wonderfully done A Bar in Serietei and other fine works as well as the co-author of our currently Hiatused Reaper series... that one we need to kick back up again... as my beta reader. So onto the recent reviews!

Jlili and DarkNexus... it might or might not happen in that way... I'll admit to nothing after the fact...

Stor: Why thank you I try to keep most of the charecters in charecter as much as possible, luckily at this point that's alot... I'll have to put the AU warning up here once season II starts up (WHOO) but it should be fine... hopefully you all won't leave me once that happens...

READERS FORM RANKS... ... ... FORWARD CHARGE!


A Blake was furious her brow twitching at the blonde girl in front of her, it was supposed to change here, be the start of a real relationship. Jaune was going to finally be the prince that rescued her from herself. Blake couldn't help it as she sprung up and slapped Yang across the cheek snapping the brawler out of Rage mode.

"Wha-" Yangs confusion was met with a tirade.

"What indeed, what were you thinking Yang? Why would you do that to Jaune, JAUNE of all people, the kindest man we know, the most selfless person in this whole school…" Yang was confused, wasn't Jaune about to do to Blake what he had done to Weiss… what had Jaune done to Weiss…

"But he tackled you… pinned you to the ground…" Blake blinked a couple of times in shock.

"How much did you see?" Blake was curious now; she had to admit if someone just caught the last bit and didn't know the context she could see where an issue would occur. She knew Jaune would be fine his aura reserves… oh no. "We have to find him… NOW!"

Yang took off after Blake still confused but slowly realizing that yet again she might have been a bit too hasty in her decision making process and that Jaune might be innocent. This was going to be embarrassing.


"Here they come," Cheng turned towards his teams sniper and nodded as he faced the door his black aura whipping around him as it started to flow inside of him black markings covering his skin as he let his semblance take over, he shot a smile at his bunny-girl before his eyes shifted from the silver to black.

"Oi Kiba," the sniper shot another elemental arrow at the tie lines before turning to his leader. "Keep Nairi safe."

The Tiger faunus was able to catch the sniper's nod before everything changed the world around him coming into a clearer sharper focus everything seemed to be lined with color a soft aura of light, the aura gave away motions and allowed him to always plan a step ahead. He saw his mate and the pack beta not enemies… not enemies… pack, family protect, his mind fell away from him as a primal part of his mind took over.

"Cheng…." Nairi's voice was soft, she hated seeing her boyfriend fight in life or death situations like this he was too quick to rely on that sick creature that was his semblance, she refused to acknowledge that Cheng was in charge once his eyes shifted to black, the monster was effective but… it lacked the warmth the honor that her Cheng had, letting herself focus on the attacking pirates who had finally breached the room by other methods she smirked as she seemed to fade into the shadows the wolf faunus simply set both of his hands on the riser of his bow and twisted the bow slipping into a pair of escrima sticks the bow's string connecting the two sticks allowing for him to whip it around himself lashing out with powerful pinpoint attacks. They were doing well and Sun and the boys would be fine the three of them were quiet adapt at watching out for themselves and each other.


Jaune was a little put out, not mad of course, looking back over why he was airborne he figured that to an outsider looking into the situation Yang had actually done the right thing, acted exactly how a friend should act when it looks like her partner was about to get assaulted by a guy… but damn it he had finally gotten Blake, the one person in their little eight-some who was still slightly reserved around him to open up a bit more, he met with her and a couple of other people for study and review sessions two or three times a week everyone's schedule permitting through that he had gotten to know at least the outer layers of who she was. He had just gotten her to agree to talk and then this happens, of course he wasn't really surprised, it was going so well that something had to go wrong, he personally thought that whatever gods that were left on Remnant for some reason thought that he was an awesome chew toy. OH look a tree, moving without thinking he raised an arm out and angled his body grabbing a limb and changing hands on the way down he let himself slide to a stop on the ground. Rolling his shoulder he was actually surprised to see that he was still on campus, Yang must have held back a little, leaning against a tree he closed his eyes letting his Aura permeate the area around him it was interesting this way of seeing was still foreign to him, interesting but weird, there was so much information it was almost overloading. He saw them coming towards him and decided to keep his eyes closed enjoying how their aura's played with the ambient dust and aura swirling around him, he still wasn't a master on dust….unlike someone he knew.


Weiss sneezed as she looked around her room, making her way to the door she opened it and saw her leader sleeping against a wall her hood over eyes a light snore seeping out of her mostly closed mouth. With a sigh Weiss walked over and picked up the scythe-wielding huntress to be. The red hooded girl in her arms stirred slightly as Weiss positioned her up in her bed removing her cloak as she did so.

"Jaune… Weiss… do…" the snuffling sounds coming from Ruby would have been slightly cute if it wasn't for the word combination that came out of it… Jaune… Weiss sighed as she slipped down to her own bed pulling out Jaune's latest project for her, he was actually much smarter than most people thought he was, picking up on complex theories quickly and adapting them to practical use easily, it had taken her months to do what he was able to do in a week, but then again she was there to help him out if need be. Looking over the neat penmanship of the eight page essay it always surprised her that such a klutz would be able to have such attractive penmanship. Then again… he wasn't… STOP RIGHT THERE… shaking her head she circled a part of his paper, the math was right but the reason why he used that formula was what interested her, he was either an idiot or a genius… probably the former but she wanted to make sure.


Yang and Blake finally found Jaune sitting under a tree a cat from somewhere had curled up in his lap and was purring lightly as Jaune stroked its head for some reason Blake was a little jealous. Without even turning his head or opening his eyes he spoke.

"Before either of you start, I'm not mad, in fact I'm happy that Yang cares enough about you for her to come after me with just how the situation looked." He turned his head and opened his eyes catching the late afternoon sun through the shadow cast by the tree he was under his smile was honest causing both of the girl's hearts to skip a beat. Blake shook her head as Yang blushed slightly and scratched the back of her head.

"Well, you see Jauney I had some questions to ask you anyways and seeing you pinning Blake to the ground… didn't help." Blake smacked the girl on the back of the head with a glare. Yang glared at the girl before turning back to Jaune. "Why would Weiss be mumbling your name in the middle of the night like she was having a bad dream…"

"Weiss is having bad dreams? Since when?" Jaune's concern was all Yang needed to hear to sooth any remaining fears of Jaune doing something… she was just happy that he was who he was…

"Since she came back, she hasn't had a good night's sleep since…" Jaune rose giving the cat to Blake with a wink and started to make his way back to the dorms.

"Where are you going?" Yang jogged a bit to catch up as Blake seemed to just appear next to him cradling the kitten scratching it behind the ears her head slightly to the side as she watched Jaune. He had a determined look on his face; one of her favorite looks on him, her third favorite actually… nope definitely not a stalker.

"To see her if she is having bad dreams and I'm involved if so then I should be part of the answer." His voice was calm and collected, but you could see the hurt. Both of the girls looked at him in confusion as he moved towards the dorms. Blake shot forward catching him as he stumbled and fell his aura reserves finally giving out on him and pushing him into shut down.

"Oh Jaune…"


Cheng felt light headed as his aura left him the black marks fading away as he shoved the beast back into its cage. He hated… no, he wanted to hate using his semblance. It weakened him immensely and sometimes it was harder to push back into its cage then it should be. He probably didn't even really need to do so for this fight, besides the numbers the air pirates had nothing going for them… but he needed to… he was becoming addicted to using it, he heard it sometimes when he went a few days without using it, a silky voice that tried to convince him to shift while he was training younglings, sparing with Glasses or Sun… or when he was spending some rare alone time with Nairi. The blood was still dripping from his blades as they fell to the ground, Kiba would take care of them for him, he always had in the past, a good friend… he smiled the trailing of aura was always the last part of the beast to leave him, a soft silvery aura filled his view. As always his angel was her, his Snow Angel, Nairi.

"Oh Cheng…"


Roman smirked slightly at the news of the Tori Academy still planning on showing up, a last minute 'mistake' on who was supposed to be where when would cause Cinder to purge her people again. This would set her back another month and a half at least, the festival would just be starting then… leaning back in his chair his mind wandered to the poor Arc boy, he wondered what would have happened if Rouge would have been allowed to marry his actual love. His face falling slightly Roman poured himself a glass of whisky and took a sip.

ROGE and TOHC they were supposed to be the teams that lasted the ages, what a joke. He felt the letter in his coat pocket; he had two more days before he'd finally find out the last will and instructions of his closest friend, one of three men that made up the hunt squad OTR, the only of the three not to return from their final mission… Shadowed Vale... taking another appreciative sip Roman lost himself in memory the amber liquid swirling around the one large rock in the glass…

"Promise me Roman, promise me that this gets to my son on his eighteenth birthday…" The large man stood as always facing the danger his two handed bastard in one hand and his trade mark shield in the other. Roman had Ozpin on his back the wizard unconscious and loosing blood… they were supposed to be the perfect trio… they were supposed to be the first Triumvirate in 200 years… Wizard, Rouge, Knight…

"I promise Rouge… I'll make sure he gets it…"

"I promise…"
