Hello guys :D Alpha here

Nagi: And Nagi

Welp, kinda decided that since I was going to have an early vacation at home... I thought that I guess that I should write a chapter

Nagi: Boredom is killing Alpha

Anyways... on with the chapter

Alpha and Nagi out


Hachiko studied the old man carefully. He had white hair, blue eyes, ice cream shop uniform, had a wide grin on his face. He then looked at the name plate that said Joe Willard

"Old Joe?"

Joe hugged Hachiko with all his might while the latter just grinned

"I haven't seen you for the last 11 years! And you've grown tall!" He then released Hachiko "Are these your friends?"

"Yep" He smiled "This is Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang" He gestured to them "We all study at Beacon"

"I see" He smiled "Nice to meet you all. I'm Joe Willard, but you can call me Joe"

"Nice to meet you too" They all said in unison

After meeting Joe, he led them to a vacant table consisting of six chairs. They all sat down with their respective partners with Hachiko seating beside Yang

"So, what are your orders?"

"I'll take a strawberry sundae" Yang smiled

"I'll take a blueberry yogurt"

"We'll take strawberry flavored ice cream with chocolate chips" Hachiko said

Joe nodded and he looked at Blake

"Hey Blake," Hachiko got her attention "They got this new flavor… I think it was some kind of ice cream that had a tuna flavor to it?" He rubbed his metal chin

"Tuna?" Blake's mouth seem to water

"Yes, it was our best seller" He then smiled at Blake "Especially on our cat Faunus customers"

"How did-"

"Sorry" Hachiko rubbed the back of his neck "I forgot to tell you all that he was a huntsman in the past"

They looked at Joe with a surprised expression

"I'm still a huntsman although when I don't have any missions, I spend my time here at my ice cream shop"

Their mouths formed an 'o' while the two men chuckled

"Welp, anyways" He smiled at them "I'm going to get your orders and don't worry, it's on the house"

He then disappeared and Ruby tilted her head at Hachiko

"Uh, Hachiko" He looked at her "How did you meet Old Joe?"

"On his hunter days, he got a mission to investigate a city 11 years ago. He was ambushed by various Grimms there"

"What happened?" Blake asked

"He saved me"

All of them, except for Hachiko, jumped a little from their seats to see Old Joe behind them with their ice creams balanced on his head and arms

"Still the same old speed" he grinned at Joe who smiled back

"Question… why is it that you call him Old Joe?"

"Because he's slow" Hachiko chuckled

The four looked at Hachiko in surprise

"What?! Ruby's faster than him"

"It's true" Joe nodded in confirmation "He even outmatched my top speed without trying… although I don't know the speed of your friend there"

Ruby answered with a shrug of her shoulders as Joe give them their ice creams. He then disappeared tending to some costumers while they ate their ice cream, talking about how their day went (Yang laughed at Weiss when they remembered the horror house. The latter glared at Hachiko because he managed to get a video of it). After they finished it, they waved goodbye at Joe who grinned and waved happily

"He must be soo happy" Yang sweat dropped

"Yeah" He smiled "It's been 11 years since we saw each other"

"You mean that he's the other occupant at Beoland?" Weiss asked

"Yep"

They entered an alley as Hachiko smiled fondly

"He even told me that he would stay there… But I told him to go back to his family for they are worri-"

Hachiko suddenly stopped on his tracks as he smelled a familiar scent. Yang bumped on his back

"Hey!" Yang rubbed her nose "What's the matter?"

She is stopped when his arm went to his side, blocking them. His ears flattened against his head and he looked like an angry wolf

"COME OUT! I KNOW YOU ARE THERE!" Hachiko looked forward in anger

Then, a half-hearted laugh came from the direction Hachiko is looking. It was no other than Roman Torchwick

'I'm sure, one of these days… I'm going to cut that long eyelashes of his' Weiss's eye twitch in irritation

"Your eyes are still sharp huh?" Roman smirked

"How did he-?" Blake looked at Hachiko

"Invisibility cloak" Hachiko said till not averting his eyes from Roman

"I see that you brought guests" Roman smiled

"What do you want from us?!" Ruby said as she fall to her defensive stance

"As much as I wanted to get revenge on you and your team, Red" Roman had his face in a smug "We only wanted the mutt"

"And why do you want to have him if I may ask?" Weiss tightened her stance

"Well, he only holds a power that can make us the ruler in all Remnant"

Roman then gestured to the shadows. Man with armors appeared. They saw their logos and recognized their group immediately. They are from both the White Fang and the Kuma. Hachiko snarled at them which made them a little frightened except for Torchwick

"Well, what are you all waiting for?" He said boringly "Get the mutt"

The enemies all charged at them. They all readied themselves for the oncoming battle. They mentally cursed themselves for not bringing any weapons. Hachiko then roared and his body glowed white as a force came from him which repelled all enemies and threw them back a few meters from him

"You were worth every cent truly you are" Roman said as he frowned at them

He fired a shot from his crane (Melodic Cudgel). It was about to hit Ruby when a shot from their far side hit the bullet, sending it to the other direction

"You're late" He said as he swept low to give his opponent a jumping uppercut "Still slow"

Old Joe looked at Hachiko apologetically and grinned. He then gestured to Team RWBY to go to his direction and told them to help him with the cart that he was carrying

"These are all useless" Yang frowned as she held up an old AK-47

"Not if he can help it" He then directed the cart to Hachiko's direction "Come on. At the count of three, throw this cart at his direction" Yang then positioned herself at the back "THREE!"

The cart, along with the weapons, went flying towards Hachiko as he smirked evilly. A huge smokescreen was formed as the enemies attacked again. Sounds of metal cutting through flesh and bones cracking can be heard from the smoke. When the smoke was cleared, it revealed a mecha-dragon with the blood of the enemies on its right arm where a hybrid sword took its place

"Uh… What just happened?" Yang looked at the mecha-dragon awestricken

"I'll explain later" He then gestured at them "Follow me, we need to make sure that we are not in his way" He frowned "He will let himself be controlled by his bloodlust and thirst for revenge and nothing good will come if we got in his way"

They looked at each other before following Joe silently. He lifted a secret door at this backyard. He led them through a series of twist and turns in the underground passage. They continued walking until they reached a heavy oak wood door

"Welcome to my home" Joe said as he pushed the oak door open "I'll just prepare some tea before I answer all of your questions"


Meanwhile… at the surface

"YOU IDIOTS!" Roman said as he threw the cigar from his mouth "How long will it take for you to catch a single mutt?!"

The mecha-dragon killed all of the attacking men with his left arm that was a mini-gun and a slash from his hybrid sword. A fireball hit it square on the chest but it had little effect on him. He turned to see the flaming eyes of Cinder. She punched him with her flaming fist but he caught her wrist and activated the shotgun part of his sword which sent her flying. She recovered mid-air and summoned two fire whips which he countered by summoning water from a glyph. A huge mist was formed covering the both of them and their surroundings. Cinder caught sight of the mecha-dragon. She enveloped her hand in fire and transformed it into a fire dagger and plunged it to the heart of the mecha-dragon. She was caught in surprise when the dragon dematerialized and became a flurry of black rose petals. She was suddenly off her feet and was thrown to a wall and she was sent crashing through many buildings and many feet away from the battle ground

"What a warm welcome Hachiko" Cinder said as she got up from the rubbles of a collapsed building

A roar was released from the mecha-dragon as Roman and Cinder stood back to back


Meanwhile, back at Old Joe's place

"So" Yang said as she placed her cup of tea "Could you explain what's happening? We kinda out of the loop"

They are at his living room. They were sitting at the chairs and in front of them was a Chinese styled round table with a tablecloth that had the image of two golden dragons. They were drinking their tea for, according to Joe, calming their nerves

"It's" He sighed "A rather complicated situation…"

"Could you tell us what happened to Hachiko?" Weiss raised a brow "We saw a mecha-dragon back there instead of him"

"It's called magnetism only that it is on a high ranking skill that he can bend metal, merge it onto his body, or even attach it to the body of his comrades or enemies" He chuckled as he remembered a guy that pissed Hachiko off and that guy had a C4 stuck on his butt as he exploded "The other things that I knew he could do is that he can manipulate his cloak and use it as a shield or a weapon. Also, he could use his aura as substitute to a bullet when he's out of ammo… only that aura bullet is 10x stronger than the strongest dust infused bullet"

"Whoa…" They were awestruck

"Wait... why did you told us to go here?" Ruby said in worry "We could help him fight them"

"The reason why is because I know that he would fall into insane rage" He frowned "It was terrifying when he saw Cinder, Roman, and Hades"

"How terrible is it?" Yang tilted her head

"He would kill anyone who stood in his path" He sighed "Be it a friend or an enemy"

"What do you… wait, you knew Cinder and Roman?"

"Yes… in fact" He sighed "I was once their team leader"
