The team woke in the morning and started getting ready for the day "alright team, we are meeting with teams RWBY, JNPR and CVFY for team building exercises, now let's go" "Um Ant?" "Yeah Ichigo?" "Is that why you always wear long sleeves and pants instead of shorts and short sleeves?" he asks awkwardly "(sigh) yeah, that is the reason" Anthony stated as he walked out of the room, his team close behind.
(The Gardens)
Team ANIM arrived at the gardens to see the other teams waiting there for them "Hey Guys" "hey you 4, you ready to return to your dorm?" "Wait what?" "Yeah, we're all going to the beach, so go get your gear" by this time Team ANIM where sweating bullets, the others turned to look at their leader to see a stoic expression on his face, the other Teams looked at this exchange in confusion, after a few seconds Anthony spoke "My Team can go but I won't be" "Why!?" Ruby whined "That's none of your concern, guys have fun but make sure no one follows me, I can't be arsed explaining it" he said the last bit quietly "Got it" Anthony started walking towards the school, his team close behind, the other teams followed as well trying to figure out his secret. After a few minutes of waiting Team ANIM waked out of their room to find the other teams there waiting, Anthony walked down the corridor and Team NIM blocked the corridor to stop passage towards their leader, Team RWBY walked forward, Yang's semblance flared and her eyes turned red "Move!" Marcus stared her down "Not happening Yang, if he doesn't want to be bothered than we won't let people near him, you would do the same for Ruby", the two warriors threw their fists at each other and the collided perfectly, "Weiss and Ruby walked up to Ichigo "let us go to him, please" Ruby pleaded "I won't let anyone go past me, my Brother needs his privacy" "So you are just going to follow my Brother whilst he's being an idiot, I thought you were smarter than that, friends help each-other" Ichigo stared Weiss down "normally yes, but this is something that I didn't even know about, so I can't betray him, please understand", Natsu saw Blake walking towards him "please don't make me fight you Blake, I can't betray him" "I know, that's why I have an ultimatum for you" "Okay?" "I tell you and him my most trusted secret and you let me go and talk to him, I won't try to make him do something he is uncomfortable with, I promise" Natsu stared her down for a second before sighing "Okay, whisper it in my ear" Blake leaned in and whispered something in his ear which made his eyes widen "Okay you can go on through, I trust you and so does he" Blake thanked her boyfriend before running after Anthony, the others in Team NIM looked at him is disbelief "What I trust her and she would never push him, they are a lot alike".
(On the Roof)
Anthony was sat thinking when he picked up a familiar scent "Should have guessed he would let you through, so how are you kitten?" "Not bad Pup, sorry for what Adam did to you, if I had known I would have stopped him" Anthony smiled at her "Do you want to know why I won't go to the beach?" "Yes please" Anthony stood up and took of his blazer and top, Blake gasped and started to cry looking at his state "Don't cry Blake this isn't your fault, I only have one question" "Yes?" "Should I tell the others?" "Well they will be worried if you don't, now I have a question" "Shoot" "What did Adam's experiments do to you?" "They made me into a Human-Faunus-Grimm hybrid" "What how Grimm?" "He found a way to liquefy Grimm essence and he pumped me full of it, I can change into a Grimm or half Grimm depending on my strength and I can control any Grimm under my power level, now let's go talk to the others" "yeah" When they got back to the others they saw Team CVFY and NI holding Marcus back and Team JNPR and RWB holding Yang back "ENOUGH" everyone turned to look at Anthony he glared at them "Everyone, get in my dorm room now!" the 4 Teams walked into the room and sat down, Anthony sighed after closing the door and walked into the centre of the room "Yang looked at him and glared with crimson eyes "Why does Blake look like she's been crying? What did you do?" "I told her the truth and showed her what she wanted to see, now I'll show you lot as well, but if you squeamish, leave now" everyone stayed sat and Anthony sighed again before removing his blazer "Now what I am going to show you is confidential and if you talk about it to anyone who isn't in this room right now, I will rain hell down upon you" when everyone nodded he pulled off his top, everyone bar Team ANIM and Blake let out gasps of shock and horror, Blake burst into tears again, Anthony walked over to Blake after putting his top back on and wrapped his arms around her "I already told you it's not your fault" "But it is, I could have done something when I saw you there, instead I just let him take you back and experiment on you some more" Everyone stared in shock at the exchange except Natsu who already knew because she had whispered it to him, Yang finally spoke up "What is she talking about?" Blake looked at the other Teams before pulling her bow off to reveal 2 fluffy-black cat ears "I was the cat Faunus he saw that day".
