Four Hearts of one journey

Ch.13: The jungle and the ape man: Pt.1

"Ugh...why...why do these gates hate us so?" Weiss asked as yet again she, Ruby, Blake and Yang all felt sick to their stomachs. These gates didn't scare them as much anymore, but the stomach queasiness hadn't subsided one bit

"Seriously, you'd think these gates would be kind to the keyblade wielders. I mean we're trying to save the worlds they're guarding." Yang said as she took a few deep breathes to help calm her stomach "Blakey, how are you doing?"

"Fine...just fine. But your sister may not be." Blake answered as she rubbed the temples of her forehead. Yang looked over Ruby, who was laying in Weiss lap with a dazed look

"My tummy feels bad...so very bad. Sorry again Weiss for making your lap my pillow." Ruby stated as Weiss smiled and stroked Ruby's hair a little, despite her feeling equally as queasy

"It's okay Ruby." Weiss kindly responded back as she felt her heart flutter in joy and the queasiness in her stomach disappeared. Replaced by butterflies of pure happiness. -" Seems like Ruby's cuteness was just the medicine I needed. A medicine I'd like to have more often...a lot more often."-

"Aw how cute, still are you girls going to be feeling better anytime soon?" Ikail asked smirking, while team RWBY gave her a nod that they would be "Good to know, though I will admit that this last gate was weird. Like really weird."

"You're talking about the dozens of rock formations we had to avoid crashing into. Along with more of those bat heartless. I hate those things deeply already after our last and current encounters." Dante asked back as he shivered just from how creepy those bat heartless were in the gates

"They sure were Dante, but you girls feeling better now?" Goofy asked as the girls gave him a smile of reassurance

"We do now Goofy, thanks for asking." Ruby answered as she, Weiss, Blake and Yang nodded

"Good." Guin said kindly, then looked over to Donald "Are we near the next world in need of our help Donald?"

"We sure are, it's right below us. Take a look." Donald replied back, as he and the rest looked down to see the next world. It was interesting to say the least

The world was practically a jungle, with a waterfall, many types of plant life and lastly a very large tree with a tree house build upon it. Though some in the group had their opinions on this place already and they weren't positive

"Oh..."Blake said first, she was already getting an uneasy feeling from this place

"Yeah, but it's pretty at least." Yang stated with a sheepish grin, while trying to bring out the silver lining here

"Pretty yes it is, if you don't mind getting eaten by whatever kinds of predators are down there." Weiss sarcastically replied back

"Was that sarcasm Weiss, oh I knew my sarcasms ways would sink in with you. Now I just need to influence the rest of the girls and we can be the sarcasm squad!" Ikail happily stated as the others just raised an eyebrow at that statement "Ahem, sorry. Still this world is in need of help from the heartless correct?"

"Sure is Ikail!" Goofy joyfully answered as Donald sighed

"Even so do you really think we should help this back watered place. Seems like nothing of importance if you ask me." Donald stated as Ruby suddenly punched his right arm "OW, WHAT WAS THAT FOR RUBY?"

"Because I didn't like what you just said Donald. Backwater planet or not, we as huntress and keyblade wielders will not stand by as a world is taken by the heartless. That's like watching Grimm kill people and not doing anything to stop it Donald. Besides we can also possibly find some clues to our friends where bouts. So we're going down to that world, understood." Ruby sternly explained as Donald would have argued back. But he didn't, when he saw the rest of team RWBY giving him stares as well. Donald just sighed before giving in

"Alright fine, we'll go down there. But if we get bug bites, I'm holding you girls responsible okay?" Donald stated with a stern, but also kind tone. The girls just laughed a little

"Don't worry Donald, still you know what to do buddy!" Ruby happily said as Donald pulled out the teleport device, activated it and with that the group was off once more to a new world of adventure

-A few minutes later-

"Man, we have to find a way not to always end up on the ground..." Ruby said as she got up and inspected herself. But to her relief she was the same old her, but then she looks around for the others. Thankfully once more she easily found them. All slowly getting up as they hadn't changed appearance wise either

"So... we're all okay then?" Yang asked getting back up as the others did the same and then nodded "Good and good to see you're okay little sis."

"Same here, but ah... where are we?" Ruby asked as she and the others looked around to notice the multitude of wild life

"In the jungle for one Ruby and were deep in this jungle to be exact." Guin answered as he pulled his blade out, already feeling like this place was watching them

"If that's so, where should we start heading too. I mean we can't just stay here. We need to-" Blake was saying, then was cut off as a leopard landed in front of them with its back turned away. The group wondered where this creature came from and what it was probably hunting. Until they heard a small whimper and looked to see a small baby gorilla pushed up against a tree. The leopard would have lungs in for the kill, but instead was hit by a blizzard spell from Ruby. Which hurt the creature as it turned its sights on the group, while an angry Ruby glared at the leopard

"Leave that baby gorilla alone you meany!" Ruby yelled out as she summoned her keyblade. The leopard didn't take to kindly to Ruby's actions and snarled it's fangs at her. The others readied their weapons as well, knowing a fight was about to commence

"Not even a minuet in this world and we already are having a fight. I might be a warrior, but this is somewhat ridiculous." Dante said as he focused solely on the beast in front of them and prepped his scythe – "Heavenly father almighty, give us the strength to smite this beast with ease."-

"Sorry Dante, but I was not going let's this meany here killed that adorable baby gorilla." Ruby replied back as the leopard was ready to attack " Right now though, let's get ready for a fight!"

With that the battle the commenced as the leopard charged the group, making them dodge to the sides. Ikail threw a force push at the beast, sending it across the ground a few feet. But the leopard stopped itself by digging its claws into the dirt. Guin took advantage of this and swung his blade to the side, cutting the leopards left thigh a little and drawing blood. The leopard growled in pain as it was able to lung at Guin, pushing him to the ground as he used his sword to keep the leopard from biting his neck or face.

"I may need some assistance!" Guin yelled out as he was surprised a little that this large cat was strong enough to pin him down without much effort

"We got ya Guin!" Yang responded back as she and Goofy rammed into the large cat, pushing it off of Guin. But not before dodging a retaliating swipe from the leopard. Making both Yang and Goofy fall to the ground on their backs

"No one does that to my Yang!" Blake yelled out in anger as she came face forward to the leopard and swung her keyblade up under its chin. Sending the large cat in the air and right towards Ikail who was readying her lightsaber up like a baseball bat

"Sorry kitty, but you need to go!" Ikail stated as she swung her blade at the leopard. But right before her lightsaber and the leopards body met. The leopard was able to force its body up a bit more and over Ikail's swing, while also giving Ikail a deep claw mark across her right shoulder. Ikail fell to the ground in pain as she clenched onto her wound "AHHH!"

"Grrr!" The leopard growled as it straighten its body out, then lunged at Ikail still kneeling down in pain. But mid lunge, Ruby came in bashing her keyblade into the leopard face. Sending it into a tree

"Back off buster." Ruby sternly said as Weiss and Donald ran over to Ikail

"Ikail are okay?" Weiss asked with a worried tone as Ikail gave her a pained smile

"Just a cut Weiss, nothing to worry about." Ikail answered, trying her best to keep a strong face

"Well we still need to stop the bleeding. Heal!" Donald stated as he cast a heal spell over Ikail's wound. Stopping the bleeding, along with healing it up slightly so that it wouldn't get infected "There all better."

"Thank you Donald." Ikail replied back as Weiss then quickly made her way up next to Ruby, followed by Blake, Yang, Dante and Guin. Meanwhile Goofy went up next to Ikail and Donald, as a way for extra protection just in case the leopard tried going after her instead

"Gawrsh, hope they stay safe." Goofy stated worriedly as the rest of the group and the leopard bearings it's fangs once more, were glaring at each other

"Alright meany, let's see what you got!" Ruby yelled out as the leopard was about to lunge at them again. But stopped in its movements as a new voice echoed through the air

"ERAHHHHAHHHHHAHHHH!" The voice screamed out as from the trees, as a figure swung down in front of them and to groups surprise it a human man. The man had peach skin, brown dreadlocks, blue eyes and only wearing a brown loin cloth. Lastly he wielded a wooden spear with a rock made arrow head tied to it. The man stared down the leopard while jabbing his spear at it. The leopard would have attacked, but realized it was out numbered. So it slunk back into the jungle irritated with losing its meal

"So...that just happened." Yang muttered as the wild man was still staring at where the leopard left "You think we should say hello or something?"

"We shall." Guin responded back as he began walking up to the man, which got Blake to suddenly realize something

"Wait if he was trying to attack the leopard then..." Blake began saying out loud until she and the rest went wide eyed

"GUIN WAIT!" The group yelled out, but it was too late as Guin had touched the man left shoulder; which then got the man to turn around in his direction. That's when the man rammed Guin to the ground

"AHAHAHA!" The man roared out as he tried to jab the spear tip into Guin's head, Guin quickly was able to grab the man's hands and halt the attack before the spear hit him. Though he was having some issues as he and the man surprisingly had similar feats of strength. Thankfully Ruby was the one to intervene before this got out of hand

"Hey stop, he's not going to hurt you!" Ruby screamed out as Weiss, Blake and Yang nodded quickly in agreement. The man ceased trying to kill Guin and looked up to see the others

"But he's a leopard, just like Sabor." The man stated as he walked up to the girls and began looking at them "But what are you four and your friends; what are they too?"

"What do mean… wait what is your name anyways?" Weiss asked as the man smiled

"Tarzan, who are you all?" Tarzan answered back kindly, doing a 180 from his fierce warrior attitude just half a minute ago "And again why do you all look like me?"

"Well first off my name is Blake, the girl with the wonderful blonde hair is Yang, Weiss is the one with scar across her eye, Ruby is the one with the red hood. Ikail is the older woman, Dante is the older man with us, Donald is the duck, Goofy is the dog and Guin is the one with leopard head but isn't a threat. Trust us, he's harmless when it comes to friends." Blake answered with a kind smile "Also what do mean look like you?"

"What I meant, why do you all look like me. Are you gorilla like I am?" Tarzan asked once more

"Gorilla's, no we're-" Yang was about to answer, but was cut off when they heard the sobs of the baby Gorilla looking out from behind a tree

"That's right the poor baby Gorilla, I hope he's okay." Weiss stated with a worried tone as the baby gorilla hid back behind the tree, scared of Weiss and the rest

"We might need to be careful with that, seems like the little baby is nervous around us." Ikail stated with a frown as Tarzan quickly walked up to the tree and knocked on the stump. Getting the baby Gorilla to look out and see him, the baby gorilla smiled and leaped into his arms as Tarzan smiled in return. Then he turned his attention back at the others

"Thanks for protecting him, the little guy got separate from our band and Sabor caught his eyes on him. He would have been dead if you hadn't helped." Tarzan explained as the baby gorilla clung onto his back

"No problem then Tarzan, I'm sure I can speak for the rest of us that we're glad that the little guys is okay." Ruby replied back as the rest nodded in agreement

"Good to know, hey what are you doing out here anyway's?" Tarzan asked

"We're lost actually, got thrown into this jungle and we have no idea where we're at." Weiss explained as a quick cover up story and it seemed to work as Tarzan frowned a little

"Sorry to hear that then, oh wait maybe you can come with me. I can help you out of this place, just got to stop by my home first. Need to return this baby back to his mother, then see how my mom is doing." Tarzan kindly suggested

"As nice as that offer is Tarzan, are you sure that would a good idea. We wouldn't want to intrude." Weiss responded back

"Whoa hold on a second Weiss. Maybe we should take up his offer I mean we don't have anywhere else go." Ikail said "Right?"

"Yeah I have to agree with Ikail 0n this Weiss, we need somewhere safe to go. I don't think we'll have another offer as good as Tarzan's." Ruby responded back as Weiss sighed a little nervously, Ruby herself noticed this and gave Weiss a quick hug "Hey don't worry, I can keep you safe if anything happens. You know that right?"

"Right." Weiss replied kindly with a wide smile as she and the rest looked over to Tarzan with the baby gorilla sleeping now, standing a little ways from them; waiting for them to follow. They made their way over to him and realized they were actually on a high ledged cliff

"Great heights, I hate heights." Donald stated with a slightly nervous tone

"Same here fella's." Goofy stated next as he was shaking a bit nervously

"I can understand the fear." Dante remarked as he didn't like the thought of how high they really were

"Agreed." Guin said as he was making sure no one in the group look to far over the edge

"Yep, so Tarzan how are we going to get down anyways?" Ikail asked as Tarzan smirked, then jumped off the edge. The group quickly looked over to where he jumped down , only to see he was riding down on a downwards thick spiral tree branch

"You have got to be kidding?" Blake yelled out with a bewildered look "We aren't going to try and do what Tarzan just did, right?"

"Though it may seem unethical to do so Blake, we got no other way!" Ikail replied as she jumped down and landed on where Tarzan had. As she began making her way down she turned her head back quickly to the others "Come on, this actually a lot easier than its looks!"

"That woman is crazy, but she does have a point. Alright here I go!" Dante said with a brave tone as he jumped down and landed on the branch, sliding down while screaming a little from the sudden rush of speed he was feelings

"I'm next." Guin simply stated as he grabbed Donald and Goofy wrapping them in his grip, then jumped down. Donald and Goofy screamed in fear as Guin landed, then began skidding down the spiral tree himself leaving team RWBY as the only ones left on the high ledge

"So… who's first?" Weiss asked nervously as Yang and Blake gave each other reassuring smirked, then held onto each other's hands. They jumped off a second later, landing perfectly on the tree branch themselves now as they skidded down while laughing. Both girls enjoying the ride down as Ruby and Weiss watched at them with a wide eyed look "Well that just happened, Ruby our friends are weird huh?"

"Yeah, but that's one of many things that makes them special." Ruby replied back with smile as Weiss smiled back while looking back down at the spiral tree, giving off a nervous sigh which Ruby took notice off "Weiss you can do this okay."

"Thank you Ruby but… but I can't. I hate heights. I'm… scared." Weiss responded back ashamed of her fear of these heights. But to her surprise Ruby lifted her up in her arms and held her in a bridal hold. Weiss heart began racing as her cheeks redden in sudden embarrassment and joy "R-R-Ruby w-what are y-you doing?"

"Well I'm helping you with this, if you can't go down yourself I'll help you." Ruby explained with redden cheeks as she gave Weiss a reassuring smile "I mean I'd do this any day as long as it's you Weiss…just to say is all. So ready?"

"Ready Ruby, I'm ready as long as it's with you too." Weiss said happily as she held Ruby around the neck, pushing her face against Ruby's. Both girls giggled a little as Ruby jumped off and onto the tree trunk. Leading them down the spiral tree, while enjoying this moment of closeness

-Meanwhile in Traverse Town-

"Will you stop looking at me ladies, please?" Robbie asked as he was inside the hotels clinic. Angela, Glynda, Yin, Maria, Eileen, Hana, Hei, Vladimir, Chumbucket, Dinky-Do, the Saint/Max and Fareeha were in there as well. Mainly because Fareeha and Hana weren't leaving Angela alone with Robbie or Hei, since they didn't trust either one of them much. Glynda came in for extra back up, Maria and Yin came to meet with Robbi and the Saint when he woke up. Vladimir came in wanting to keep Robbie company, since he was surrounded by a multitude of women and the other men here didn't seem to be the conversational types. It was probably a little nerve racking for Robbie. Hei was just in their because he was bored, lastly Chumbucket was still in the clinic since his friend the Saint and Dinky-Do were there healing up. All in all Robbie himself at this moment, was feeling somewhat uncomfortable as the women all stared at him with watchful gazes, except for Maria and Yin who just stared at him blankly

"Sorry we're just still bewildered about your world, I mean sure we have heroes in our world. But it's more of a small organization rebuilding itself and stuff." Hana replied back as she was still in absolute amazement from what Robbie had explained to them about his world. His world was filled with a wide variety of superheroes and villains, some from worlds beyond theirs. Hana wanted to go this world, it sounds like it would be an amazing place to visit

"Yes I have to agree with Hana here, though I feel somewhat unnerved that they are more of…you know…." Glynda said next as she didn't want to sound rude or anything. But Robbie had explained the whole concept of the Ghost Riders from what he had learned so far and that they're were far more of his kind in his world. He also explained the whole concept from again what he was told, of how each rider made the deal with the devil of their world to gain this power in the form of the Ghost Riders. But he also explained he was in a sense was a different kind of Ghost Rider as he never made the deal with the devil himself. The others being the rest of the boys, the rest of the OverWatch group, the mane six, Leon, Yuffie and Aerith before they left; all had asked how he got his powers then. Robbie simply answered that he didn't want to talk about it, though he did say it was a painful experience

"You mean more Ghost riders?" Robbie asked with a slightly irritated tone as Angela smack him across the arm

"Be nice, look I know we've been wary around you. But you have to understand that the…other you could do some real harm." Angela sternly explained, but with a soft tone as Robbie sighed

"Though she does not speak for all of us, no offense Angela." Vladimir kindly stated "If you want my honest opinion I'd say those powers helped us out in the end. Your good in my book kid."

"Thanks dude. Also yeah I know Angela, trust me I can understand what most of you must be feeling around me. I felt the same way when I realized I turned into a walking skeleton with a flaming skull." Robbie joked a little, getting a laugh out of most of the women other than Fareeha, Glynda and Eileen

"If you don't mind me saying. But you got those Buzzards pretty good when me ,Dinky-Do and the Saint arrived too see what your town was about." Chumbucket stated kindly as Robbie rubbed the back of head shamefully

"Yeah I'm not exactly proud of that." Robbie responded back as the group could tell he sounded sorry for what he did

"Why not, you did what you had to do. Those idiots were asking for it anyways, so I say killing them was probably the best thing." Hei coldly said as the everyone other than Maria, Yin, Vladimir and Chumbucket glared at him

"Hei come on now, that's a bit mean to say." Hana replied back as Hei shrugged getting an annoyed huff from her

"I'm just stating the truth. Besides don't a decent amount of you kill as well?" Hei asked

"Don't drag us into killers ranks young man. We all kill for self-defense or that we have no other choice." Eileen sternly snapped back as Hei glared at her little –"Though I'm not either of those, I do it to stop and free a hunter before the beast blood consumes them."-

"Cut the tough act grandma. You ain't scaring me, heck you could probably fall over dead easily from me zapping you with my index finger." Hei responded back as Glynda, Fareeha and even Robbie glared at him angrily

"Try it and see what happens Hei." Glynda said with a stern tone

"Yeah let's see how tough you are really." Fareeha said next in a more threatening tone as Hei pulled one of his knifes out. Making Glynda and Fareeha pulled their weapons out. The others decided to stay out of it, not wanting to make the tension worse. Yin was torn on what to do as Maria held her close to her so she wouldn't be harmed

"Well come on the ladies, take the first shot." Hei responded back as he took out his second knife and it looked like a fight was going to happen. That is until Robbie intervened by facing off Hei himself as he walked up right to his face

"How about this Hei, you back off and fix the attitude or me and you are going to have problems." Robbie stated as Hei scoffed for once

"Right, gonna use that other form of yours punk?" Hei replied back with venom in his tone as Robbie narrowed his eyes and pulled out his switch blade, which then caught on fire. Then formed into his chain weapon

"I don't need to be in my Ghost rider form to hurt you." Robbie remarked back as he and Hei glared sat each other

"Whoa hey no one is-" Glynda was starting to say until Hei punched Robbie in the nose drawing blood, Robbie didn't even take a second more as he lunged at Hei and pushed him to the ground. Both men who began punching one another. But before anyone could breaking them up Hei kicked Robbie off to the ground hitting the floor with the back of his head and becoming dazed. Hei got back up quickly, moved up to him quickly and raised his blade to stabbed Robbie, then thrusted his knife down. But he was stopped by Vladimir blocking his knife with his Saw Cleaver in its folded form

"Not a wise move." Vladimir remarked as he forgot about Hei's other blade. Hei then swung his left free arm to use his knifes cable feature to hit Vladimir. But that was stopped as Dinky- Do despite his healing leg grabbed a hold of Hei's left arm with a tight bit

"Get off me." Hei said in slightly aggravation as he noticed Robbie was getting back up, though while the women were trying to keep him down as they knew he'd just attack again. Hei took advantage of that and was able to push back Vladimir's blade. Then Hei used the momentum of his left arm to swing Dinky-Do into Vladimir, knocking both he and the dog to the ground

"Oh my god are you okay?" Hana asked as she and Chumbucket helped them up, while Fareeha, Glynda and Eileen were doing their best to hold down an angered Robbie who was trying his best not to turn into his Ghost Rider form as the skin on him was slightly beginning to burn off

"Hei please calm down." Yin calmly asked as she didn't want Hei or anyone else here to get hurt as she walked up to him "Please H-"

"SHUT UP!" Hei yelled out for once in anger as he suddenly smack Yin hard across the face, which flung her back into one of the medical beds where she cut her cheek on the side of it. This happened so quickly that everyone was shocked. Maria herself actually was about to attack Hei, feeling suddenly an urge to kill him for hitting Yin. But before that could happen, to her's and the others surprise Chumbucket's friend got up. He quickly looked around to see Hei on one side and the rest on the other with a few injured, including his dog. The Saint then glared at Hei connecting the dots

"Did you hit my dog?" The Saint asked as before Hei could respond he pulled out his shotgun that Chumbucket had left next to the bed and shot a round at Hei. Hei though was quick enough to dodge the shot. But then the man quickly got out of his bed and rammed Hei to the ground as he began punching Hei hard across the face. Though thankfully the others quickly intervened before it went any further

"That's enough out of you both!" Glynda yelled out as she and Fareeha had left Robbie to Eileen to handle, which wasn't a problem with her since she had dealt with deadlier things then him. Glynda had lunged at the Saint and quickly held him in an elbow lock. Fareeha handled Hei as she was able to get him into a head lock with her legs, while holding his right arm back with both her arms

"Okay this got way too crazy you stupid boys, you all just had to fight didn't you!" Hana screamed out as Chumbucket continued to make sure Dinky-Do was fine

"Don't drag me into this Hana, I was just trying to help out with ending the fight." Vladimir replied back as he got a smack to the back of the head from Angela

"But you did fight Vladimir and Hei your lucky none us hit you for what you just did to Yin." Angela said angrily to both men as she looked over to Maria who helped Yin back up to her feet "How is she Maria?"

"Fine Angela, but she's got a slightly nasty cut on her right cheek." Maria answered as Angela and the rest could see Yin's covering her right cheek with her hand. Though blood was coming from in between her fingers

"You see that Hei, you did that!" Hana screamed out once more as Angela quickly was beginning to clean Yin's cut

"And you're lucky you didn't hurt Dinky-Do either buster." Chumbucket added in as Dinky-Do was fine now, though growled a little at Hei

"Hey this wouldn't have happened if Robbie here didn't try acting like a hero." Hei stated as Fareeha pulled his arm back to shut him up. Robbie then tried lunging at Hei, but couldn't as Eileen had a surprisingly strong grip on him

"Let me go so I can teach this guy a lesson!" Robbie yelled out as he was having a much harder time now keeping his Ghost rider form in as his skin was burning off a little quicker. Thankfully Eileen wasn't having none of it

"No I won't and you need to calm yourself boy. Understood." Eileen sternly said as Robbie glared at her for moment, but could see he'd better listen. So he just nodded and began taking a few deep breaths, then his skin turned back to flesh and he seemed to calm himself down. But Eileen kept her grip on him just in case

"Thank you ladies." Glynda responded kindly as she looked down at the Saint "You didn't help with the situation either. Especially with shooting your gun, you could have hit someone."

"No one hits the dog and the name' Max, got it?" Max stated as he figured telling his name to them would help with his situation

"I see, well then Max. You, Robbie, Hei and Yin are going to be staying here for now. One because your still Angela's patient and two because the others here have small injuries from this little scuffle. Especially Yin and trust me, none of you have a choice in this." Glynda explained as she looked back to Robbie and Hei primarily as she knew Yin would agree with it easily "You boys understand that?"

"Whatever." Hei answered back as he knew arguing would lead to headache for him "But why doesn't Vladimir have to stay?"

"Because I only got knocked back on my butt. You got a dog bite, Robbie could have a possible concussion from you kicking him off and Angela hasn't cleared Max off to be out of the clinic yet. That's why." Vladimir sternly explained as Hei just sighed a little annoyed by this, even if his face was blank of emotion

"Can someone explain what the hell is going on and why this place looks not destroyed and in ruins?" Max asked as he was trying to get back up "Can you get off, I ain't gonna cause any more trouble alright."

"Fine, but if you do anything after I let you go. I'll give you wounds worse than what you had." Glynda responded with a dead serious tone as she got off of Max who stood back up, cracked his neck and the turned fully to face her

"Thanks I guess, now again can someone explain what's going on." Max asked once more as Fareeha and Eileen let go a calmed down Robbie along with a still slightly annoyed Hei

"How about you take a seat Max, Leon isn't here currently so I'll have to explain myself. Unless the others would like to help with the explanation. Other than Angela since she'll be working on you, the boys and Yin." Glynda said as Hana and Eileen nodded in agreement "Good to know, Maria will you be staying as well?"

"You know I will Glynda." Maria replied as she was going to stay either way since Yin was. Mainly because in the short time in Traverse town, she had developed a sort of kinship with Yin. More to be precise, it was a big sister and little sister sort of kinship

"Understood, Fareeha, Vladimir would you kindly show Chumbucket around maybe. He may like the other sights of the town." Glynda responded back as Fareeha and Vladimir nodded. Chumbucket was hesitant for a moment, then made his way over to Fareeha and Vladimir who lead him out of the room to show him around the town. Once they were done Glynda looked back at the three troublesome men "Now then you all better get in the beds, because I can say for myself personally that I am in no mood for any more of your tough guy's crap."

"Same here Glynda, I may act childish myself at time. But you three took it to a whole new level with your fight." Hana stated and before the men could reply Hana continued "And yeah I know Hei started it, but it takes two and even three to continue the fight. So none of better start blaming one another."

"Agree. Your all supposed to be men, not boys." Eileen stated next as Hei just got up first and made his way past the girls and out of the door, but was stopped by Hana who placed her hand over his right shoulder

"Hey I though we said your gonna stay here so Angela can get a look at you. Maybe Dinky-Do's bite didn't do much, but still you should get it checked out." Hana said with a kinder and even concerned tone as Hei gently took her hand off his shoulder

"Thanks for the concern Hana, but in all honestly I didn't even get hurt by the dogs bite. My trench coat is bullet proof so I don't think a dogs bite would do much, other than apply some force against my forearm for a bit." Hei explained as Hana sighed at her friend's stubbornness

"You could at least stay for Yin." Hana responded back with a bit of an angered tone as Hei looked at Yin, who looked at him for a moment before looking down at the ground. Maria herself looked at Hei as well and even if no one could tell, she seemed to be giving him a silent death threat

"I'll be going." Hei coldly said as he made his way out, much to the others anger

"Hei get back here, HEI!" Hana yelled out as she received silence as her only answer. Hana just huffed as she turned back to the others "Stupid man."

"I really wish I could have deck that guy some more." Robbie stated slightly aggravated, but then notice Eileen walk up to him. She then removed her mask showing her face and a moment later, Robbie received a hard smack across the face "Ow, what was that for?"

"Because I believed you earned that young man." Eileen explained as she grabbed Robbie by the collar of his hoodie and pulled his face up to hers, which currently was stern in expression; like a teacher with a disobedient student "Now listen carefully, we all have enough issues with the heartless. We are stuck with one another and should be using our angry towards the heartless. Not each other, so you better start acting like a man and not a boy who gets mad with every little comment that's throw at you. Is that understood?"

"Y-Yes ma'am, sorry for the trouble." Robbie replied back nervously as he had never meet a woman this scary, but he could tell she was dangerous when angry. Thankfully for him Eileen let go of his collar and patted him on the head. Max actually chuckled a little at that, but stopped when he noticed Glynda glaring at him

"Same goes for you Max, be thankful we're kind people and we don't just throw you out. So if you don't want that to actually happen, behave." Glynda stated as Max sighed a little before nodding in agreement "Good, anyway's Angela how's Yin doing?"

"She's good, but her cut was deep. I cleaned it, used my staff to heal the cut a little quicker and stitched the rest of it up. She'll have to have this band aid on her for a while." Angela explained as she felt bad for Yin having to be in association with Hei. The man actually was making her blood boil a little, but she let it be as she knew nothing would be achieved if she let the anger get to her

"That's good to know, thank you Angela and thank you Glynda for asking." Yin stated with a tone that to the others sounded happy. Dinky-Do meanwhile limped up to her, climbed on the bed and began licking her face

"Seems like Dinky-Do likes you Yin. He's seems like a good boy." Maria said as she and Yin began petting the dog

"He does seem that way." Glynda remarked kindly as she looked over to Max who was laying back in his bed, waiting for Angela to look over him. Glynda made her way next to him as she took a seat "So where should I start. Because this may take a while."

"No problem, I got all the time right now." Max responded back as he laid on his bed, then Glynda began explaining the whole situation at hand

-Back with team RWBY-

"You having fun Weiss?" Ruby asked happily as she was still holding Weiss in her bridal hold, while spiraling down the tree. They knew everyone else was probably waiting for them at the bottom of the tree. But right at this moment, Ruby and Weiss were enjoying their time together

"Yeah I am Ruby, I really am!" Weiss joyfully answered as she liked clinging onto Ruby and couldn't help but laugh with Ruby as they spiraled downwards. She felt like a princess and Ruby was her beautiful knight in shining armor

"I'm glad you are, hey Weiss I know this is sudden but… um; can we talk about something very important?" Ruby asked with a slightly nervous tone as Weiss was wondering what could get Ruby to get nervous all of the sudden. Especially since they were spiraling down a long tree from incredible heights

"Sure Ruby you can ask me anything you know that right?" Weiss replied kindly as Ruby felt less nervous now with her question

"Okay, so I know that you and me have been getting closer. But I wanted to ask if when we get back to traverse town next time…. we can go on a date. Like just you and me together." Ruby asked calmly as Weiss eyes went wide

"You're really asking me on a date, for real?" Weiss asked in an overjoyed tone –"So I'm in love with Ruby, makes sense now that I think of it."-

"I am, so is that yes or maybe?" Ruby responded back as she was feeling so much joy at the moment. Though to her joyful surprise Weiss instead answered as she locked her lips with Ruby's, though as they spiraled down the tree the sunshine shined around them. Making the moment even more in a sense romantic. Once Weiss and Ruby retracted their lips from each other, both girls giggled a little "So is that a yes?"

"That's a defiant yes, Ruby I love you!" Weiss stated as Ruby kissed her again for a few more moments before retracting back

"I love you to Weiss!" Ruby replied overjoyed that this was happeing –"YES, YES, YES!"-

"I'm so happy to hear that, Ruby I promise to be the best partner and girlfriend I can be!" Weiss said proudly

"I promise to be the best partner and girlfriend to you as well Weiss!" Ruby responded back as she and Weiss yet again locked lips. By this point they were getting close to the end of the spiral trail. They kept their lips locked, enjoying each other's love through their lip motions. Though as they kept kissing, they were suddenly interrupted

"Ahem." Yang said amusingly as Ruby and Weiss retracted from each other's lips, then looked to see they were at the bottom of the tree. Then saw the group plus Tarzan staring at them

"Oh ah…. we we're…. oh forgot it, I was kissing my girlfriend okay big sis." Ruby stated proudly as she let down Weiss to her feet, both girls then giggled feeling a bit embarrassed from having their newly established relationship be figured out like this and so quickly as well

"We can see that little sis." Yang said happily as she hugged both Ruby and Weiss in a bear hug "I'm just happy for you two!"

"Thank you Yang, but…air…please." Weiss replied back

"Oops sorry, just happy for you two. Like I said." Yang responded with a sheepish grin as she placed Ruby and Weiss back down on the ground as both girls took in a few breaths. But after that, Blake ran up and gave them a big hug (Though not as spin crushing as Yang's was)

"I'm happy for you both as well. Very happy." Bake added in with a kind smile as Weiss and Ruby hugged her back, then released one another

"Thank you both." Weiss said as Ikail, Dante, Guin, Donald, Goofy and Tarzan with the baby chimp still on his back walked up next to them

"Congratulations ladies, just keep the fun stuff for later on okay." Ikail joked getting a quick laugh from Weiss and Ruby

"Indeed, you both seem to be happy. Though I believe it will take time for us boys to get use to this still." Dante stated kindly as Donald, Goofy and Guin nodded in agreement

"As much of a nice moment as this is, we should get going." Tarzan suggested, but before anyone could responded back. A squad of new heartless showed up in front of them. These heartless were monkey like. With either blue and purple fur coloring or pink and red fur coloring along with a bow on top if the heads. They're about fifth teen of them all ready to attack the group who readied themselves for a fight. Tarzan himself was just confused by this "What are they?"

"Heartless, they're bad creatures and they'll hurt everything in the jungle without a second thought." Ruby explained as she glared at the heartless, meanwhile Tarzan readied his spear and snarled at the heartless

"Really, then I'll help you with taking these things out." Tarzan stated as he placed the sleeping baby gorilla in a small bundle of leaf's. The group meanwhile did a quick nod of appreciation to him, though the heartless charged at them at the same time

As the battle started team RWBY was able to slash four of them with quick ease, Dante dodged to the left as he grappled another monkey heartless with his scythe and cut it half with a pull. The two pieces flung past him and rammed into two more of the monkey heartless, pushing them to the ground. Though for Guin and Ikail they took this as an advantaged and stabbed through both the heartless chests with their blades. Meanwhile Donald casted a thunder spells at three more of the monkey heartless as Goofy bashed each of them with his shield, which threw them against the trees behind. Weiss and Ruby were quick to the fight as they fired a barrage of blizzard spells at the monkey heartless, taking them out as the blizzard spells decimated the three monkey heartless.

Though to the groups surprise Tarzan turned out to be a much stronger warrior than they had originally believed, Tarzan was surrounded by the last five monkey heartless who lunged at him for a group attack. The group would have come to his aid, but Tarzan quickly dispatched of them as he swung his spear first in a circle motion cutting up three of them, then jabbed the next one quickly with his spear through the neck. He pulled the spear out quickly as the monkey heartless dissipated into smoke, then smack the last monkey heartless across the face with the end of his spear. Sending it to the ground where he then thrusted the spear tip into its head and twisted the spear head as the monkey heartless dissipated into smoke. Once that was done, Tarzan got back up taking in a few deep breaths as he walked past the others with bewildered looks and picked up the baby gorilla who had miraculously stayed asleep through the quick battle.

"Well… that happened." Blake stated as Tarzan had somehow been able to get the baby gorilla to grip his back once more, without waking it up and walked up to the others who had silently regrouped at this point. Still bewildered by Tarzans battle prowess

"That was easier than I thought. But come on, were close to the home now." Tarzan calmly said as he began making his way forward once more

"Well at least he's on our side right?" Yang asked with a small smile as the others couldn't help but nod in agreement and followed behind Tarzan a few moments later. All of them glad that they had a new and powerful ally with them in this jungle, they just hoped the keyhole in this place would be easier to get to then last few

As the group followed Tarzan behind they noticed how animalistic he moved, which must have meant he was raised here in the jungle his whole life. The girls wondered especially if that meant he was raised by other gorillas or humans who befriended gorillas. Not that they had a problem with either since like Hercules, the refuges at Traverse Town, then recently Jak and Daxter when they spoke with them about their pasts. They want to know about Tarzan's past, since he was a new friend to them and they had a nice time learning about these new people they'd met in these worlds. But before they could start asking question, the group seemed to have arrived at Tarzans home. The group stopped in their tracks when they saw Tarzan handing the baby gorilla over to another gorilla. But as the mother gorilla hugged her baby, she along with a few other gorilla's around the area saw the group. Immediately they screamed and ran off into the trees yelling 'Monsters!' and 'They're gonna eat us!'. It was awkward and confusing at that moment.

"What did we do, why are they scared of us?" Ruby asked with a sad look as Tarzan was somewhat confused on why the other Gorillas had run like that and began trying to call them back

"Yeah, it's not like we're basically hairless apes when you think about it?" Yang joked as she patted Ruby's shoulder "Don't worry baby sis, I'm sure they're not just use to us."

"Which would answer the question probably on all our minds." Blake stated

"You mean if there are other humans than Tarzan living in this place, right Blake?" Weiss responded back as Blake nodded

"If that's the case then his mother is also probably a Gorilla as well." Guin said

"That brings up another question actually, do you think Tarzan knows he's human?" Ikail asked with a curious tone as she and rest watched Tarzan still trying to call back the gorillas

"If he doesn't, it may not be wise to tell him then." Dante said as team RWBY raised an eyebrow at that

"Why would say that Dante?" Weiss asked as Donald answered for Dante

"Because Weiss, it may not go well with him mentally." Donald quickly answered

"Mentally, Donald he's been living is whole life without knowing what he is probably. Wouldn't it be a kind thing to do if we told him about what he really is?" Yang replied back

"Gawrsh it would be Yang and I'm usually up for helping folks out. But I even know that begin told something new or convincing someone to what they really are; may not go well. It could make them snap or something." Goofy explained as Yang tried to respond back with a counter argument, but couldn't as she didn't know what to say back

"Wow that sucks, I just feel bad for the dude. I mean he seems happy and all, but still it's seems like he should know." Yang said kindly as Guin patted her shoulder

"I believe he should too Yang, but you, Ruby, Weiss and Blake should remember this. Even the most of kind acts can have their consequences later on." Guin stated as Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang took in the words of wisdom. Then nodded understanding what he meant, even if they didn't like it much. Though by this time Tarzan had made his way over to them

"Sorry about that, guess the others aren't use to you all yet. But I still got to check in on my mom, would you like to come with me or wait here?" Tarzan asked as the girls began thinking it over, though they were interrupted as Ikail tapped their shoulders in a quick manner. Team RWBY then looked to see Ikail smiling at them

"Girls how about you four go with Tarzan, me and the boys will stay here just in case if the gorillas come back okay?" Ikail kindly suggested

"Weiss, Blake, Yang?" Ruby asked happily as Weiss, Blake and Yang nodded in agreement with the plan "Okay then, you all just keep safe alright in case something comes up alright?"

"We will Ruby." Goofy kindly responded back

"Alright then, come on and follow me." Tarzan said as he began climbing up one of the trees, the girls followed behind and thankfully for them the tree had some wood formations that could be used as steps. They climbed up the tree to a decent high as they followed Tarzan, then they noticed him climbing down a tree suddenly so they followed. Once Tarzan stopped, the girl were doing their best to hold onto the branches in the tree

"Tarzan what are we doing here?" Weiss asked as Tarzan shushed her "What I'm just asking?"

"Yeah I kind of want to know too, I don't think we can hold onto branches for much longer." Blake added in as Tarzan ignored then and began moving slowly down the branches some more. Team RWBY followed, nervously doing their best to keep their grips on the branches that were thinning out. Then Tarzan stopped once more

"Tarzan what's the deal now dude?" Yang asked as Tarzan looked back at the team with a smile. Then he looked back as he slowly began creeping down the branches some more, the girls looked to see what he was creeping towards to and saw a female brown furred gorilla with lights brown skin at the areas that weren't covered by fur. It looked like the gorilla was eating a melon of sorts and Tarzan was getting closer with a mischievous grin

"Tarzan for real?" Blake asked as she couldn't believe Tarzan was going to do something so childish

"For real dude, act your age." Yang said as she mentally smacked herself –"Right look at me, I act childish myself a good amount of times."-

"Yang is right, now get back up here." Weiss sternly said next as he just kept moving closer to the female gorilla

"Tarzan are you really going to scare a gorilla that's just trying to eat?" Ruby asked with a disapproving tone as Tarzan had finally made it near the gorilla, then took a deep breath in like he was going to mimic a noise to scare the poor gorilla

"TARZAN!" Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang quietly screamed as Tarzan was about to release the noise, until he was stopped before he could

"Don't even think about it." The Female gorilla said in a calm and bored tone as Tarzan released his breath in slight disappointment, then he smiled as he jumped over and landed in front of her

"How did you know it was me?" Tarzan asked as he used his right foot to pick up a melon n a tree branch next to him

"I'm your mother I know everything." The female gorilla answered as team RWBY went wide eyed that this was his mother, even if they had already guessed she would have been a gorilla. But that wasn't the only surprise "Speaking of which, you four can come out now. No need to worry about me freaking out either, I know your aren't gorillas."

"Wait how did you know that um…" Ruby replied back as she, Weiss, Blake and Yang climbed down to meet Tarzans mother who turned to their direction

"Kala is my name and being with my son for this long has attuned my nose to his scent. You four share a similar scent to his so that's how I knew. But may I know your names?" Kala explained kindly

"Ruby is the one you just answered, I'm Blake, Yang is the one with the long blonde hair and Weiss is the one with scar across her eyes. We have a few more friends, but their waiting in the lower area of this place. Anyways it's nice to meet you and I should also say that your son has been kind enough to let us stay here for a while. With your permission, of course." Blake answered as she and the rest did a quick bow of appreciation to Kala

"Nice to meet you four then and it's no issue with me at least. Kerchak is a different story." Kala said much to the girl's confusion

"Who?" Yang asked

"My mate and the leader of our band. He's what you could call… cold at times. But leave him to me, I can get him to see reason. Besides I'm the only female who could put up with his anger." Kala explained once more with a smirk as team RWBY chuckled a little from the joke. Though they also noticed as they stopped laughing that Tarzan seem to tense up when Kerchak was mentioned, but before any of them could ask. Kala went back to questioning him "By the way, where were you?"

"I though you knew everything?" Tarzan remarked with a grin as he took a bit of the melon, then swallowed while keeping his grin. Though before Kala could answer, Tarzan was tackled to by a smaller gorilla as the girls were about to attack. But then realized they were actually play fighting, like two old child hood friends

"Hey aunty kay, your looking remarkably groomed today!" The smaller gorilla happily said in a tomboyish tone as she threw Tarzan to the side a little. Thankfully they were low enough that it was just a few inches off the ground

"Hello Terk." Kala responded back as Terk and Tarzan rolled down a steep hill side. Leading them passed a large black furred male Gorilla who just stared at them, then huffed as he watched Terk and Tarzan rolled down further more passing a few gorillas. Then hit the back of an Elephant who got up and was watching the fight with a worried look. As this happened team RWBY just stared at this with amused grins. Kala sighed before looking at the girls "I know we just met, but could you make sure my son and his friend don't get to out of hand with their play fighting. Also you may want to avoid the big gorilla coming up to me, that's Kerchak and right now it would be best if he didn't see you."

"No problem Kala, we'll keep an eye on Tarzan while making sure to avoid being seen Kerchak." Yang kindly said as she and the girls made their way off. As they did this, the girls we're able to skip passed Kerchak who almost got sight of them. After that the girls finally made it down to Tarzan, his gorilla friend Trek and by their guess his other friend who was the large red skinned elephant

"Okay, it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye!" The elephant said in a worried tone as Tarzan and Terk continued fighting, though that's when the girls caught up with them

"Finally we caught up with you!" Ruby stated as she, Weiss, Blake and Yang noticed the elephant and Terk stopped what they were doing to stare at them. Tarzan on the other hand just stayed quiet, not having a clue on what to say to make sure his friends wouldn't freak out. The awkwardness lasted for a good thirty seconds, before Ruby decided to break the wary tension "Um…hi?"

"AHAHAH MONSTERS!" The elephant screamed out as he laid on his knees and used his trunk to cover his eyes "Please don't eat me, I'm on the thinner side for an elephant. So I wouldn't make a good meal!"

"Tantor calm down, their friends." Tarzan explain as Tantor nervously stood back up, while Terk just stared at the girls with a wary gaze "Terk, Tantor these girls are Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang."

"Hello, nice to meet you both." Weiss kindly said as the others nodded, Tantor just nervously waved his trunk while Terk walked up to them with a curious gaze

"Yeah same I guess, but what I want to know is why you four look like Tarzan here?" Terk asked as she looked over them, curious on what they were species wise

"We'll miss it's because we're the same species as Tarzan here. Right ladies?" Yang answered as Ruby and Weiss happily nodded in agreement

"Yeah…same species as Tarzan." Blake said with a shy grin and laughed nervously

"I see, wait did you just call me miss?" Trek asked as Yang nodded, making Terk smile "Finally someone else other than my mother who could tell I'm a girl. The boys here didn't figure it out until I told them."

"Well to be honest most men don't usually have the best perceptions, especially with women. You should see how my dad is with my mom sometimes." Blake responded back, getting a snicker out of the girls and Terk

"Funny and smart, I like you girls already. Still you sure you're the same species as our lug head Tarzan here?" Terk joked as Tarzan tackled her again with a grin

"I may not be that smart, but I'm still better fighter than you Terk!" Tarzan happily said as the girls sighed and Tantor began worrying once more. Tarzan meanwhile had gotten Terk into an arm lock

"Alright, alright you made your point I give up!" Terk yelled out while Tarzan just smirked, though that smirk went away as he saw something move slightly in the bushed while Terk kept on asking him to let go. He did a moment later as he passed Terk and the girls while staring at the bush

"Tarzan what's wrong?" Blake asked as she and the girls made their way up next to him, while staring at the bush as well now

"I think somethings in the bushes, ain't that right Tarzan?" Yang asked next as Tarzan silently nodded back

"Also if I may add, but I think whatever is in those bushes knows we know it's in there." Weiss said as she narrowed her eyes at the bushes

"Girls, Tarzan get ready for a fight." Ruby stated as she, Weiss, Blake and Yang readied their keyblades while Tarzan readies his spear. Though as this happened Terk and Tantor made their way up to them

"Seriously I'm still wondering what you are at times." Terk stated as she straightened out her arms

"Well Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang did say they were the same species as Tarzan." Tantor replied back as the girls and Tarzan narrowed their eyes at the bushes. Which they swore they could heard a low growl, but Tantor and Terk weren't catching on as they kept on conversing "Personally I think they all maybe a distance relative to elephants."

"Are you serious how in the world could they be-" Terk asked, but suddenly she was cut off as the Sabor the leopard leapt out at them ready to kill. But thankfully the group dodged, though the girls did crash against a couple of trees from where they had dodged and put themselves in a slight daze. Meanwhile Terk and Tantor stepped back as not to be targeted by the leopard. Though this also did alarm the Gorilla's in the vicinity who scattered, along with Kala and Kerchak

"You again, seriously didn't you learn your lesson you mean old kitty!" Ruby said with an angry tone as Sabor leaped at them

They all avoided being hit, but Tarzan quickly began climbing up a tree as Sabor quickly followed. But the leopard was stopped as Kerchak came in from behind, grabbed his hind legs and threw him against a tree. Guin then came out from the side as he swung his blade down, only for Sabor to move out of the way a second before impact while Guin's blade got stuck in the ground. Sabor then leaped at Guin to kill him as he opened his jaw for a killing blow. But Dante got in the way as he raised his left arm up, making Sabor instead bite down on his left forearm

"Damn beast!" Dante screamed out as Sabor did a surprisingly hard enough bit to make Dante drop his scythe. Dante couldn't do much since his cross was tied to the left side of his waist. So he did the next best thing and began punching Sabor in the face repeatedly in a quickly secession of six punches. But before he could throw the second punch, Sabor let go of his arm and did a quick swipe to his right side making a slightly deep gash as Dante fell to ground in suddenly pain. Sabor then raised his claw to swipe down on Dante, but he yet again was stopped this time by Ikail who levitated him with a force hold in the air

"You're a very, very bad kitty…" Ikail stated as she was about to impale Sabor in the stomach with her lightsaber. But she stopped and beagn losing her grip on the leopard as the wound from her shoulder was acting up. But thankfully before she lost her grip fully on Sabor, the leopard was pushed back into a tree by Donald and Goofy. Both hitting the leopard with a shield thrown/fire spell combo attack, once that was over Donald and Goofy checked on the others

"You okay fella's?" Goofy asked as he helped Dante back up, while Donald helped Ikail. Guin was alright and was able to get his sword unstuck from the ground

"Yeah we're alright, but that leopard is a lot more trouble than I'd like to admit." Dante responded back as Donald did a quick heal spell on his arm and side "Thank you Donald."

"No problem Dante." Donald replied kindly as suddenly Sabor appeared in front of them once more, ready to fight again "Oh come on really?"

"Yep really Donald, just wonder where the girls are." Ikail stated as she, Guin, Dante, Donald and Goofy readied to fight once more. But before anyone could commence the battle, Kerchak cut in as he tried slamming his arms on Sabor. But Sabor moved to the right and leaped on Kerchak, but Kerchak threw the leopard off. Then began slamming down his arms to crush Sabor, but the leopard kept dodging side to side and actually got a deep cut on Kerchak torso

"ARGGHH!" Kerchak yelled out in pain, but pushed through it as he glared at Sabor and charged him. But Sabor dodged once again and climbed on his back, as Kerchak was doing his best to throw him off. While this all happened the other Gorillas were in the trees watching with nervous looks, Terk and Tarzan were doing the same. The girls meanwhile had gotten up from their daze and made their up to the others with Tantor

"We got to help him!" Ruby said as she was about charged out to help Kerchak, but was stopped by Tantor who held her back with his truck

"Tantor what are you doing?" Weiss asked as Tantor frowned a little

"Sorry girls, but I can't let you interfere with this. I might not be a gorilla myself, but I've been friends with Tarzan and Terk long enough to know that it's not a good idea to get in between Kerchak when he's fighting." Tantor explained as Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang scoffed a little at that

"You're kidding right, he could die!" Blake yelled out as she and the girls continued watching the battle to see that Kerchak threw off Sabor. But received a deeper cut on his left side, making Kerchak fall to the ground in pain. The gorillas, Tarzan, Terk, Tantor, Ikail, Donald, Goofy, Dante, Guin and the girls looked in fear as Sabor had gotten back up on his paws. Then charged Kerchak to deal the final killing blow on him. But as he was inches away Tarzan and the girls had enough, then quickly rammed into Sabor left side pushing him away from Kerchak

"Girls get out of here!" Tarzan sternly yelled out as he got a quick smack to the back of the head from Yang

"Yeah not going to happen Tarzan." Yang responded back with a stern tone of her own as she and the girls summoned their keyblades

"Yang's right, what kind of friends would we be if we left you to fighting this meany alone." Ruby responded next with kind and stern tone

"So put your man pride away and let us help." Blake said with a scolding tone

"Indeed, the girls are right and I think our little friend is coming back for another beat down." Weiss said next as Sabor appeared before them once more, thankfully Dante, Guin and Ikail made their way over to them despite their injures. Donald and Goofy also joined up with the rest, ready to keep their friend's and new friend Tarzan safe

"Mind if we join ya?" Goofy kindly asked as team RWBY smiled at Goofy and the rest

"You know we don't mind buddy." Ruby stated as she, the girls, the rest of team and Tarzan now were ready to fight Sabor, who in a sudden moment had twenty heartless monkey appear next to him as a sort of back up. Scaring the gorillas and surprising the group

"Great just great." Dante stated with an annoyed tone

"We'll just have to deal with these guys too, now CHARGE!" Ruby yelled out as she and the group charged at Sabor with his new heartless allies

As the battle started the monkey heartless spread out to the sides which Guin, Goofy and Donald took the left side. While Ikail and Dante took the right as they already were slashing at the monkey heartless. Sabor took the center as he lunged at the girls and Tarzan, all who dodged in time expect for Ruby who was pushed back to the ground by the leopard. She used her keyblade to keep Sabor back as he was using his paws to pushed her down, while also trying his best to get a hold of Ruby's throat with his jaw. Thankfully Weiss was quick enough to shoot a fire spell at Sabor side and then bash her keyblades against his ribs, pushing him off of Ruby as she got back up.

"DON'T TOUCH MY RUBY BEAST!" Weiss yelled out as she and Ruby quickly charged at Sabor once more. Though Sabor was already having issues with Blake, Yang and Tarzan as he was doing his best to dodge their attacks. Meanwhile the others were doing quick work with their own battles with the monkey heartless

"Thunder, thunder, thunder, thunder!" Donald screamed out as a flurry of three thunder spells zapped at least two of the monkey heartless, then were quickly taken out by Goofy with a shield throw that ricocheted off of each one; then back to him where he caught it

"Nice job Donald!" Goofy happily stated as he bashed his shield against another monkey heartless, while Donald hit the fourth one with a fire spell. Then finished it off with a quick hit to the back of the head from his staff, both monkey heartless disappeared into smoke

"Same with you Goofy, but we need to help Guin!" Donald responded back as he and Goofy looked to see Guin trying his best to throw off the remaining monkey heartless that were clawing at him

"Yes help would be appreciated!" Guin stated as he grabbed one of the monkey heartless that was clinging onto his back, then threw it on the ground as he quickly thrusted his sword in its chest. The monkey heartless vanished into smoke as he kept trying to throw off the other heartless on him. Donald and Goofy quickly came to his aid, meanwhile Ikail and Dante were dealing with the heartless in their own way

"Cover your ears Dante!" Ikail said as Dante did so, while Ikail used a force scream to push back five of the heartless. Though it didn't kill them, it did give Ikail enough time of a quick breather. But a monkey heartless from behind lunged at her, but was cut in half by Dante scythe as Ikail fell to the ground on her butt from the sudden act. He then lifted his weapon back up and slashed two more monkey heartless in half

"Would the lady kindly say thank you?" Dante joked with a smirk while lending her his hand, as Ikail just for that moment started to blush a little and her heart began to race

"Um…s-sure Dante." Ikail responded back with a sudden shyness as she took his hand and quickly was lifted up to her feet. Just then the remaining ten heartless surrounded them. Making Ikail and Dante go back to back, much to Ikail's sudden increase in heart rate –"Stop, stop, stop, what is going on with me?"-

"Ikail I believe I have an idea to take these heartless out quickly." Dante stated as he glared at the heartless surrounding them

"H-How so?" Ikail asked as she was having a hard time keeping calm around Dante all of a sudden, but she got her answer as the ten monkey heartless leaped at them. Dante's plan involved him grabbing Ikail by her left and started to swing her around. Ikail though surprised by this, realized this was the same move Dante had done with Guin when they first met the girls. Ikail quickly held out her lightsaber and with one quick and power swipe maneuver by Dante, the ten monkey heartless dissipated into smoke as the move was finished off with Dante holding Ikail by the waist as their face were near one another

"Good job Ikail, really good job." Dante kindly stated as Ikail blushed more from the complimented, though Dante didn't take noticed as he released Ikail from the hold. Ikail then quickly straighten herself out as she shyly nodded, but Dante now took notice of her changed behavior as he placed his armored gauntlet on her cheek with a worried look "Are you alright Ikail, were still in battle and I don't want you to be hurt because of a possible illness."

"I'm fine r-really, besides we need to help the others!" Ikail answered as she was trying her best to get her cool back, but Dante touching her cheek with his hand; even if it was armored wasn't helping. But thankfully for her, before Dante could say anything else Guin, Donald and Goofy came in next to them. As it seemed that they had taken care of their heartless

"We're fine Ikail, what about the girls and Tarzan though?" Guin asked as suddenly the girls were thrown back at near the group, all with slight cuts and bruises on them. Ikail and Dante helped them up

"You girls alright?" Ikail asked with a concerned tone, while getting her cool back. Meanwhile the girls auras were already healing them up

"Yeah we are, thanks for asking. But Tarzan still needs our help." Ruby stated as she and the rest looked to see Tarzan trying his best to keep Sabor back away from Kerchak, who seemed to be still on the ground in pain from the cut that must have been deeper than anyone had originally believed it to be

"Well, what are we waiting for them. Let's get em!" Donald proudly responded back as he and the rest charged at Sabor, making the leopard back off Tarzan as the group made their way to him. Weapons ready to help their new friend fight off this deadly adversary

The battle once again commenced as Sabor leaped suddenly in the bushes, the group went on guard as they quietly listened to the rustling bushes. It was slightly nerve racking as the gorilla's around the area hid away, while Kala moved Kerchak to a safer area so that she could look over his cut. The only ones who hadn't hid away from the battle, was Terk and Tantor who were trying to help the group out by listing to the bushes as well. The bushes kept rustling as the group looked around in a state of caution. But just as the rustling stopped, Sabor lunged out right at the group as they dodged in multiple directions.

But they got up quickly and began their final assault on Sabor, the girls along with Tarzan were the first to lay down a flurry of strikes on him. Each strike preventing Sabor from retaliating back, it only became worse for the leopard as Ikail, Donald, Goofy, Dante, Guin and Tarzan joined in. All of them dealing extra damage to Sabor with a combination of hard hits from Dante, Goofy and Guin. Powerful magic spells from Donald. Then lastly lightsaber strikes and force attuned attacks from Ikail. By the end of the onslaught of attack Sabor had gotten away from the group, but had many bruises and cuts. The leopard was backing away from a slowly advancing team RWBY and their allies, knowing it was beat.

"Alright mister cat, just go away and leave these nice gorillas alone." Ruby said kindly, but also sternly as she didn't want to kill the leopard and she felt bad that they had to hurt the large cat this badly. But she also knew that Sabor wouldn't have backed off if they hadn't

"Grr…." Sabor growled lowly as the group stopped in their tracks, worried of another attack

"Don't think about it, mean old cat." Blake sternly responded back as Sabor growled primarily at her. Sensing the cat side of Blake and felt an increased hostility towards her especially. Though no one else paid mind to that, except for Yang who decided to bring it up with her later after they weren't in a hazardous situation. But suddenly Sabor began positioning his body in a position that looked like he was going lunged once more, but instead he did something else happened… he ran up into the trees

"Did her just run?" Yang asked with a bewildered look as Tarzan quickly followed behind

"Tarzan wait!" Weiss yelled out, but it was too late as Tarzan had already disappeared from sight "Oh great, where did he go?"

"I think we should follow the rustling trees." Guin answered as he pointed up, for them to see the trees above them rustling while the sounds of roars and growls could be heard heading over to the center of the area. Though to the team RWBY's fear, they saw that the center of the area had a deep looking pit covered by vines and leaf's

"We have to get there quick, I think Tarzan and that mean old cat are going fall in there!" Ruby stated with a fearful tone as she and the rest of the group made their way over as quickly as possible to the center of the area. Thought they were too late as Tarzan and Sabor fell from the trees, straight down into the pit. Making the group stop in their tracks in sudden surprise of what just happened

"TARZAN!" Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang screamed out in fear for their new friend's life as a sudden silence filled the air. The gorillas slowly popped back out from where ever they hid to see what happened, Tantor and Terk silently prayed for Tarzan to be safe. Kerchak stared in slight shock himself, while Kala was trying her best not to freak out from her intense fear that her son could be the one dead in the pit. Ikail, Guin, Dante, Goofy and Donald also were worried, though ready to fight once more if Sabor was the one to have survived

"Tarzan, are you alright!" Ikail yelled out with no response still

"Say something!" Weiss yelled out, as suddenly the left over debri from the pit began to move a little

"Wait look, someone is coming out from the pit." Yang stated with hope that it was Tarzan, while the others hoped it was him as well. But what was seen slowly coming out was the back of Sabor, much to the groups dismay

"No…." Ruby said with a teary tone as she didn't want to believe that Tarzan was the one to die. Weiss, Blake and Yang began to tear up a little as well. But they along with Ruby and the others readied their weapons as Sabor ascended more. But to the everyone's surprise, Tarzan popped out from under Sabor. Once Tarzan made his way out of the pit, while holding Sobobas body he lifted the dead leopard up in the air for all to see

"ERAHHHHAHHHHHAHHHH!" Tarzan roared out triumphally as the gorillas around him cheered for his victory

"HE MADE IT!" Tantor and Terk happily yelled out as they hugged one another, before letting Terk let go. Terk just punched him on the trunk lightly, embarrassed that she showed a little bit of her softer side. Tantor just let it be and smiled a little, meanwhile the others began cheering as well

"He did it!" Ruby yelled out in joy

"He really did, go Tarzan!" Yang yelled out next as she clapped

"Indeed, for a second I thought that nasty leopard had won." Weiss said with a relived tone as she clapped too

"But it turns out that wasn't the case, sad the leopard had to die though. Even if it was trying to kill us." Blake stated with a slight frown, though she was happy that Tarzan was. She still didn't like that the large cat had to die

"Yeah… wish we could have convinced the cat to just go somewhere else." Ruby said with a slight frown, but mainly because she was an loved animals

"I think we all feel the same way as you do Ruby." Goofy responded back as the girls and Ikail nodded in agreement. Guin and Donald didn't have an opinion on this, while Dante just scoffed a little at the statement

"No offense Ruby, but I'm not going to shed a tear for the beast." Dante responded back coldly as Ruby frowned a little more while Weiss, Blake and Yang gave him a disapproving glare. Ikail just punched him in the arm "Ow, what I'm just saying is all?!"

"Yes but you could be a bit more kinder Dante, Ruby's an animal lover." Weiss responded back, but before anyone could say anything else; Ruby cut in

"No it's alright really, everyone has got their opinion. But I think somethings is happeing." Ruby stated as she and the rest looked to see Kerchak walking up to Tarzan slowly with a neutral look on his face. Tarzan meanwhile slowly walked up to him while he still had Sabor's body in his hands, once both he and Kerchak were a few inches away from one another; Tarzan slowly laid Sabor's body in front of Kerchak. Once Tarzan did that he back up an inch as silence filled the area once more, then Kerchak smiled a little for once at Tarzan. Tarzan began to smile back and was about to say something, but the moment was interrupted as a new sound came in

"BOOM!" A loud rung noise out from the jungle rung, echoing through the area while startling the Gorilla's and Tarzan

"What was that?" Tarzan asked with a curious tone, but the girls knew what that sound was

"That was gun, a shotgun to be exact and from what I'm guessing it's probably a buckshot or even possibly a slug shot." Ruby stated quietly to the group with a serious tone as she kept her keyblade out just in case whoever owned the gun wasn't friendly. Wiess, Blake and Yang seemed to have the same idea as they silently nodded in agreement with serious looks on their faces as well. Meanwhile Tantor, Terk and Tarzan had made their way up to the them

"Would any of you know what that was…it' sounds unfriendly." Tantor asked nervously as Blake smiled back and patted him on the trunk

"No need to worry big guy, it's nothing dangerous." Blake kindly explained to help calm the friendly elephant down

"Dangerous or not someone should see what it is, right Tarzan?" Terk asked as Tarzan nodded

"I think so, girls you seem to know what it is. Will you and your companions come with me so we can see what the source of that noise was?" Tarzan asked as the girls nodded "Thank you."

"You are welcome, but I think me and the rest will stay here to make sure the heartless don't come back to get the gorillas. If that's alright with you girls." Donald stated kindly

"I don't see a problem with it, how about the rest of you?" Yang asked as Ruby, Weiss and Blake nodded in agreement with her "There's the answer then, so yeah no problem. Besides it might be best if we do this with a smaller group anyways."

"Agreed, I'm sure you girls can handle. Still take caution." Guin responded

"We will Guin don't worry." Weiss kindly replied

"Anyways we should get a move on, ladies, Tarzan if you can lead the way?" Ruby suggested as she, Weiss, Blake, Yang and Tarzan then quickly made their way to the source of the noise

-Traverse Town: Fourth district-

"I have to say this place is very lovely to look at, I haven't really taken the time to look around with all the heartless and such. Don't you think so Sweetie Belle?" Rarity asked joyfully as she looked back to see she wasn't there at the moment "Wait, where did she go now?"

"Beep, boop, vroop." Bastion responded back as Rarity raised an eyebrow

"Sorry dear, but what did you say?" Rarity asked a little embarrassed by that fact as she realized Bastion was probably trying to be helpful, but that she couldn't understand him. She looked over to the others with her, currently being Solider 76, Yuffie, Alfred and Twilight

"He said she was in the car, Robbie's to be exact." Solider 76 answered as he along with Bastion once again pointed to Robbie's car. Where Sweetie Belle had somehow gotten inside of the car without a hassle. She was currently playing with the wheel, pretending to drive it while imitating the noises she had heard when traveling to the town with Robbie

"Oh that filly can't stay in one place without almost giving me a heart attack!?" Rarity stated with slight frustration

"Hey at least she's not as bad Yuffie is… wait where did she go?" Alfred said, but then saw Yuffie who was to the right of him has vanished

"Don't worry Alfred she hasn't gone far, trust me." Twilight answered with a deadpanned look as she pointed her hoof back to where Sweetie Belle was, only this time Yuffie was with her in Max's car. Doing the exact thing Sweetie Belle was doing, as both girls pretended to have a battle with the cars themselves

"Seriously, no seriously?" Solider 76 asked as he hadn't expected Yuffie to behave like this herself - "Oh god, she's going to be another Hana ain't she?"-

"Bee, vroop, bee, bop." Bastion replied back kindly as Solider 76 sighed, while the others wondered what he said

"Right, he said that childlike wonder is a good thing." Solider 76 explained

"Oh okay then, thank you for clearing that up 76." Rarity responded back happily, until she realized something "76, I just realized that you were able to understand Bastion right now."

"Well yeah I…. wait, wait a minute what?" Solider 76 said as he suddenly realized that as well, then looked to Bastion "Tell me something that I need to improve on Bastion?!"

"Vroop, beep, beep, boop, vroop." Bastion kindly replied back as he gave Solider 76 a friendly pat on the shoulder

"What I do not have anger issues?!" Solider 76 yelled back, then he realized he understood Bastion "Oh… I… I guess I do understand him."

"Vroop, beep, boo." Bastion said happily as he clapped his hand and rifle arm together

"Yes I guess that does mean you'll have more people to converse with easier." Alfred replied back, then realized he could understand Bastion as well "Wait, now I can too. How?"

"Hm, maybe it has to do something with the magic in this place." Twilight suggested as she gave Bastion as small smile "Also I've can understand what you're saying as well, around the time 76 started too."

"So we can all understand him now, interesting I will say." Solider 76 stated as he gave Twilight a raised eyebrow from under his mask "Still you sure this has to do with magic?"

"76 darling, you are staying with a bunch of people from various worlds. Also we're putting our hoofs and well hands in the four young girls who themselves come from a world that has them train to fight monsters. So when I think you can give Twilight the benefit of a doubt when she says it has to do with magic." Rarity responded back with a stern tone

"Alright calm down Rarity, I was just asking. I personally am still taking time to get use to the idea that magic is real and that there also seems to be a bunch of others worlds other than ours." Solider 76 explained as he rubbed the back of head

"I too am having a similar dilemma, with the worlds part along with the advanced technology that everyone has. But magic was present in the world I and my friends came from." Alfred said as he gave Solider 76 a patted on the back "So don't feel like you're the only one feeling out of place."

"I know that, still maybe we should get Sweetie Belle and Yuffie back here now. You know before Twilight keeps on with explanation?" Solider 76 suggested

"I do agree whole heartily. Yuffie, Sweetie Belle can you come over here please!" Rarity asked kindly as Sweetie Belle and Yuffie just keep on pretending to drive the car, much to Rarity frustration. But before she could yell at them, Bastion gently tapped her on the shoulder to get her attention "Oh Bastion what is it dear?"

"Vroop, dee, vroop." Bastion kindly replied back

"Are you sure dear, I may not know much about Yuffie but my sister can be… hard to get to listen to." Rarity asked as she didn't want to burden the kind robot of having to get her little sister to listen, but Bastion just gave her a reassuring nod "Okay then, you have a go at it."

"Vroop!" Bastion yelled out as Sweetie Belle and Yuffie immediately stopped, got out of the cars; then ran right up to Bastion with wide smiles

"And were here Bastion, sorry about that but we were having lot of fun beforehand." Sweetie Belle said

"Yeah we we're and I was winning just to say Sweetie Belle." Yuffie said next with a wide smirk as Sweetie Belle rolled her eyes, but also smirking herself

"Yeah, but that's only because you called in reinforcements Yuffie." Sweetie Belle answered back, as both girls laughed a little

"When did they become such close friends?" Rarity asked with a confused look as Alfred knelt down next to her

"What I want to know is how long they've been able to understand our mechanical friend?" Alfred whispered into her ear as they looked to see Bastion gently patting both girls on the head. Then he, Yuffie and Sweetie Belle made their way back to them

"Vroop, vroo, beep, boop." Bastion said

"Yes I see you were able to get them to listen, good on you then Bastion." Rarity kindly said, though was internally a bit peeved at her little sister for listen to Bastion more than her. Still she let it be as she looked back at Twilight to see she had been thinking the whole time, meaning she hadn't probably heard anything that had transpired for the past few minuet "Oh Twilight, still the same after all this time we've know each other."

"What are talking about Rarity?" Yuffie asked as Rarity just sighed a little

"Well Twilight aside from being an expert when it comes to magic, a book worm and Princess Celestia's pupil. She also is one for science, be it about magic or not; she loves science. So if I know Twilight and I do, then right now Twilight has been thinking on why we can all understand Bastion for the past minuets." Rarity explained "Still may I ask how you and my sister understand Bastion as well or better yet how long have you been able to understand him."

"For a while actually, Yuffie's been able to understand him though longer than I have. Since me, you and the rest got here only a while ago sis." Sweetie Belle explained

"Make sense, so who's gonna snap Twilight out anyways?" Solider 76 asked as Rarity yet again sighed

"Allow me darlings." Rarity responded back as she went up next to Twilight, then used her magic on Twilights horn. Seconds later Twilight began laughing as she fell to the ground

"S-Stop Rarity i-it tickles!" Twilight asked in a pleading tone as she kept on laughing, Rarity smirked as she stopped using her magic to tickle Twilights horn. Twilight got back up, caught her breath and then gave Rarity a slight glare "Rarity you know I'm ticklish, especially at the horn."

"I know Twilight, but you were in one of your zone outs again." Rarity said with a smirk as Twilight sighed

"Well you could have snapped me out of if differently, but oh well I'm out of me zone moments as you and the girls call it." Twilight replied as she looked at the others "Sorry about that also, I was thinking over oh what other aspect we can expect because of the magic in this town."

"And what did you think out?" Solider 76 asked as Twilight smiled

"A few things, one that I believe fully this town has a large quantity of magic. If so then we may start experiencing some of us begin to use magic, while others who know magic will have it enhanced in power." Twilight explained, to the others surprise

"So your saying that someone like 76 or Bastion could use magic possibly?" Sweetie Belle asked

"Yes, that would be the possible case. While people like me, Rarity… Robbie and some of the others who have magic would have it enhanced. A basic attack spell from me could turn later on into a devastating attack spell. But like I said this is all just a theory at the moment." Twilight explained happily

"Theory or not it's something." Solider 76 responded back, but before anyone could say anything else, suddenly from behind Leon and Aerith came in with worried looks

"Leon, Aerith what are doing here and what's wrong?" Yuffie asked as she knew when Leon and Aerith had those looks, then something was going on

"What's going on is that were looking around for clues." Leon answered, much to the others confusion

"Clues for what?" Sweetie Belle asked as Leon and Aerith looked at one another, then Aerith knelt down next to her with a warm smile

"It's nothing you'd care for little one, how about you and me go somewhere else." Aerith said kindly as she looked back at Rarity "Would that be okay with you?"

"Sure…no problem." Rarity replied as she had a feeling that her little sister shouldn't hear what Leon was going to explain. She then looked at Sweetie Belle with the best reassuring smile she could muster up "Sweetie, would you kindly go with Aerith please?"

"Sure I guess." Sweetie Belle replied back as she began following Aerith out of the fourth district, once they were gone Leon sighed

"Sorry about that Rarity, just didn't think Sweetie Belle should hear this. Then again you and Twilight sure you want to hear this as well, you both are a little…" Leon said with a slight frown

"Soft right?" Twilight asked with a raise eyebrow as Leon just nodded "Look just because were ponies doesn't mean we don't know about the evils of the world or worlds….you know what I mean. Heck we have some of that back in Equestira."

"Alright no need to freak out Twilight, Leon was just asking." Yuffie kindly stated as Twilight sighed once more. Yuffie smile that she prevented a possible argument, then looked at Leon with a serious look "But for real Leon, what's happeing?"

"A serial killer is happeing Yuffie." Leon answered, as the others went a little wide eyed

"What do mean, someone is killing people at times like these?" Twilight asked in horror as Leon just nodded once more

"If that's the case, then let us help you find him." Solider 76 stated as he pulled out his pulse rifle and readied it up for battle

"Indeed, with the heartless scourge going on a serial killer is the last thing anyone needs. Let us find the devil and slaughter him like the waste of life he or she is." Alfred added in as he readied is Logarius wheel, while Bastion just loaded up his rifle arm

"How about first we go over the clues Leon has found please." Rarity suggested as the others nodded in agreement that was probably the best thing to do at the moment

"Agreed, look all me and Aerith found out was two things. One that the killer only appeared after the fourth district came in and two that this killer is sparing no one in his wake. The refuges hiding out in the third district are the ones he's going after. But he seem to be leaving everyone at the hotel alone, along with the other refuges in the second and first districts." Leon explained

"Wait why didn't you have me help you out with this Leon?" Yuffie asked, somewhat offended she was left out of the loop until now

"Trust me Yuffie I wanted to tell you, but Aerith asked me not to. You know how much she fawns over you like a mother hen." Leon answered as Yuffie frowned a little, she knew Aerith had something to do with it. Not that she hated when Aerith fawned over her as she liked the attention and saw her as a big sister in ways. But she did hate at points when she became too protective of her, like she was a little girl. Not that Yuffie wasn't younger, but she could have taken the news of a serial killer as well as Leon and Aerith could

"Beep, vroop, boo." Bastion asked as Leon shrugged

"Sorry Bastion can't say, though I don't remember being able to understand you beforehand." Leon responded back as Twilight was going to explain to him what she had theorized, but he kept on with his response before she could "Actually now that I think of it, I believe there is one more very important detail about this."

"And that would be…" Rarity asked as she was waiting for Leon to explain

"I was getting to that Rarity." Leon replied with a slightly aggravated tone, before he took a quick breath "Alright so as I was going to say, seems like we got ourselves a new area of Traverse Town. A district five that's connect to this district. It's on the other side of this place, look."

"Well I'm surprised we hadn't taken a better notice of that." Alfred said as he and the rest looked to see a wooden gate with the words 'District 5' over it. Though unlike the other districts entrance, this one looked as if the wooden gates were somewhat worn and rotted a little

"No that definitely isn't a trap." Yuffie stated with a nervous look as she looked back at Leon "For real, are you sure it's safe to go in there?"

"We'll the clues all lead to there. One of the refuges I question said he over hear the killer going into district five. Me and Aerith were looking in the other districts for the entrance and found nothing. So that's why I came here, then the entrance to the district was the first thing I saw. You all were the second things I saw after. Also don't worry Yuffie I did call for some back-up, they should be here right about… now." Leon explained as suddenly the doors to the fourth district were kicked open revealing Hana, Eileen, Vladimir, Applejack, Angela, Glynda, Robbie and oddly Maria heading towards them

"Hello Hana, seems like Leon got some back up for us." Twilight said as she noticed out of the group Robbie seemed to be in slight pain "Robbie, I know we didn't get off on the right foot with introductions. But are feeling okay?"

"Oh yeah…still wish you'd have let me kill that dude though." Robbie replied back much to Twilights, 76's, Leon's, Bastion, Alfred's, and Yuffie's confusion

"You better get yourself out that mindset boy, right now to be exact." Eileen responded back with stern tone she gave a glare at Robbie. Even under her mask Robbie could only gulp a little, he really was nervous around the woman

"Man Robbie for a big bad anti-hero in your world, you sure are being whipped right now." Hana stated as she made a whip lash sound, getting a snicker out of the women from both groups

"I have never felt so outnumber before and I've fought drug dealing gangs before." Robbie said with an unamused look, as Leon, Solider 76, Alfred and Bastion gave him a look of sympathy

"Alright jokes aside maybe we should get going, this serial killer ain't going to stay in one place for too long." Solider 76 suggested as the others nodded then began making their way over to the newly established 'District 5'

-District 5-

"Well this place is about as welcoming as I thought." Glynda said as she and the rest looked around to see the first part of this new district was filled with…. graves. Lots and lots of graves, with dead trees, dead grass, lamp lights that currently weren't lite and lastly many tattered religious décor hung up around the a walls of this grave yard

"Glynda this place had a rotting door, what does that tell you in the first place?" Solider 76 replied, but got a quick smack to the back of the head Angela "Ow, every time now. For real what am I, a target dummy or something?"

"Well you should be nicer with your comments 76, besides at least we have the sky to help light our way." Angela stated with a smile

"Yeah, but it's always night here just to say Angela. So this doesn't help with the creepiness factor of this place." Applejack responded back, but smiled once more "Still at least were with friends."

"Hey maybe we could ask Robbie to go all Ghost Rider, so we could use his head as a walking torch." Hana joked as the others got a quick laugh out of it, even Robbie

"Only if you say please and thank you Hana." Robbie joked back as Hana gave him a kind smirk

"Never, I'm a demanding girl." Hana replied amusingly as she stuck her tongue out to him for a moment, Robbie just chuckled at the girl's childlike behavior as they continued down a long stone made walkway

"Looks like we're having a nicer time now." Rarity said happily as Twilight nodded in agreement

"Defiantly Rarity, friends always help. Especially in places as… welcoming as here." Twilight responded joyfully back

"Hey not to cut in on your conversations, but do any of you notice that Eileen, Alfred and Vladimir are up ahead of us. Along with the fact they seem to be dazed by this place." Yuffie stated out loudly as the others noticed that Vladimir, Eileen, and Alfred were looking around like they were in a state of nostalgia, not the fun type to be exact as they had extremely cautious gazes

"Huh, why are they like this" Glynda asked with a worried tone

"Boop, beep, boop, vroo?" Bastion asked Maria, who sighed a little

"I feel the same as well, this place seems… familiar." Maria explained, much to the others confusion

"Familiar?" Leon asked as Maria was about to say something, but didn't as she stopped in her tracks, along with the other Yahrmanites in the group. Then she made her way up past the others next to them, as they seemed to be looking at something since faint a glow could be see shining a little

"Hey what are looking you at?" Glynda asked as none of the Yahrmanites responded back

"Maybe we should see for ourselves Glynda?" Angela kindly suggested as the others just silently nodded, then made their way up next to the Yahrmanites to see a dimly lit lamp light tied by rope to a branch that was stuck into the ground

"Um… what is it?" Leon asked as the Yahrmanites didn't respond, but their gazes, even Eileen from under her mask seems to be a gaze of now slight worry

"And what in the world is wrong with you four?" Hana asked next, but before any of the Yahrmanites could respond a new voice came into the picture

"Because they know what a lamp light in this place means young lady." The voice said calmly as the group, other than the Yahrmanites turned around quickly and pulled aimed their weapons. What they saw though to their surprise was an old man in and very old, but well-made attire and sat in a wheel chair

"Who are you sir." Glynda asked with a stern tone as she didn't want to take any chances, but to her surprise Maria came next to her and lower her arm from its attacking position "Maria what are you doing?"

"Do not fear Glynda this is Gehrman, the first hunter and a friend." Maria explained as the others looked at her with a raised eyebrow "Trust me, he is a friend."

"I believe you sugar cube and I'm the element of honesty. So I can vouch that Maria is being a hundred percent honest with us." Applejack happily said as she calmed herself, then the others did as well. Thought they may have a lot more hesitant to do so, despite the reassurance Maria and Applejack gave them; but they still did lower they weapons

"Thank you for having faith in me and Applejack here as well." Maria responded back as she looked at Gehrman once more "Still why haven't you showed yourself to us until now?"

"Because I technically can't, what you all see before you is nothing but a spiritual projection of myself. Rest assured I am safe and with friends, three being friends of team RWBY." Gehrman explained as Glynda went wide eyed

"Wait what, who, who were the three you speak of Gehrman?" Glynda asked in a loud tone, but then realized this and embarrassingly rubbed her arm "Sorry…"

"It is no problem Miss, you must be Glynda GoodWitch. Beacons combat instructor, Pyrrha, Nora and Ren have spoken highly of you. Despite your stern teaching at points." Gehrman kindly said as Glynda smiled widely knowing that those three were safe, though she realized then someone was missing from that group "Wait what about Jaune, what about him?"

"He is safe as well, but not himself you could say." Gehrman answered with a slight frown

"What do y-" Glynda was about to ask. But was cut off as a bone chilling scream of death echo a bit further the area

"What was that?" Robbie asked with a confused tone as Vladimir, Eileen and Alfred finally got out of their daze and turned back to the others

"That is the now recent kill of the serial killer, he's in this area and if I'm a guessing man. Whoever it is, is from our world. Meaning it's a hunter gone crazy." Vladimir stated with a serious tone as he, Eileen and Alfred rest readied their weapons

"So you're going to kill him?" Rarity asked with a worried tone

"Beep, beep, boo." Bastion asked next

"No, we can't save him or her. Trust us on this, but when a hunter goes crazy he's nothing more than a rabid animal." Eileen answered as Bastion lower his head a little and Rarity frowned

"So… I guess we'll have to help you with it huh?" Hana asked with a slightly hesitant tone

"Possibly, we'll see how the battle goes. But I'm sure you won't have to." Alfred responded back as he, Vladimir and Eileen turned back to the lamp. Then raised their snapped their fingers at the same time, making the dimmed-out lamp light up in a bright white glow as the sounds of a muffled gong could be heard afterwards for a brief moment

"What was that?" Yuffie asked nervously as Alfred and Eileen began making their way forward, while Vladimir turned his head back to them slightly

"Come, let's get a move on." Vladimir simply stated as he followed behind Eileen and Alfred moments later. The rest of the group just shrugged and followed as well now, then Maria followed as she pushed Gehrman's wheelchair. But as they all made their way through, the Yahrmanites made their way inside a dead end large circular area of the graveyard. But as the others followed right in behind, Glynda, Hana and Leon being in front were pushed back suddenly. Though they were able to keep their balance thankfully

"Whoa the heck happened?" Soldier 76 asked as Twilight walked up to, then used her horn to scan the entrance

Seems like there's a force field here. What I'm wondering is why?" Twilight asked as Maria push Gehrman up next to the pony

"Because Twilight, this is a task only hunters can do. There is no way a non-hunter could get passed this field." Gehrman explained as Hana huffed a little

"What do mean by that though?" Hana asked as Maria simply pointed straight ahead, the group looked to see Vladimir, Alfred and Eileen. Along with a new and frightening person

"It can't be him…he's dead I killed him myself." Vladimir stated with a scowl as he and his fellow hunters looked upon the new figure ahead of them

The new figure was tall and slightly bulky man. He wore black tatter boots, grey tatter pants, a black vest with a black tattered tail coat with a grey scarf, back gloves with tatter bandages wrapped around them and lastly a black rounded/ large brimmed hat. Then man also seemed to have long greying hair, pale skin and what seemed to be tattered bandaged around his eyes. The man walked slowly up to them as he also was covered in blood

"The lies here, all lies… the damn blood tricks me. I can still smell the beast here; the people here are a lie… a lie…a lie…." The man said as he dragged a bloody large axe against the ground which created sparks and wielded a blunderbuss like Vladimir's. The man snarled a little as he was getting closer to the Yahrmanites "Your lies…..you have to die, have to die like the beasts you are…damn dirty beasts…"

"Who, who is that…" Angela asked with a frighten tone as the man seemed to be sick in the head and experiencing a psychotic episode of sorts

"Father Gascoigne, a church hunter that died by the hands of Vladimir. How he lives, well I believe the heartless have a hand at that." Gehrman answered as he and the rest looked to see dark wisps surrounding him

"We have to find a way to help them!" Leon stated as he tried to bash the force field, but was knocked back on his feet a little

"As I said, only hunters can do this and do not worry about them dying. The lamp… well you shall see." Gehrman said as he began fading out "It seems my time here is about up, I shall visit when I can along with visiting team RWBY and their allies. Glynda before I fade out fully, may you tell the team RWBY something once they come back to the town for a visit."

"Sure." Glynda responded back as she was worried about what Gehrman wanted her to tell the girls

"Tell them…I'm sorry about how their friend Jaune is currently." Gehrman said as he then faded from everyone view

"What did he mean by that…" Glynda said to herself out loud, but before anyone could give her an answer. The sounds of battle could already be heard going on as Glynda looked with the others to see Vladimir, Eileen and Alfred battle out with Father Gascoigne."

"What do we do?" Robbie asked as he was worried for the three Yahrmanites lives as the battle already seemed to be becoming deathly intense

"For right now we'll just have to wait and see what happens." Leon answered as he sighed, then he and the rest watched as Vladimir, Eileen and Alfred fought the mad heartless revived man named Father Gascoigne. They just hoped this battle would end quickly and with their friends coming out on top

-Meanwhile at Blood Gultch-

"Church, church, church!" Cabooses yelled out happily as he stood on the upper roof of the base as the look out

"OH MY GOD WHAT!?" Church responded in utter annoyance as he peaked out from the roofs entrance

"Well I…I forgot, sorry." Caboose calmly responded back as Church was really trying to resist the urge to push Caboose over the edge of the base

"I… you…ugh, call me up when you actually see something." Church said as he took a deep breath to calm down, but before he could go back down Caboose being well… Caboose couldn't help but ask another question

"What would something be, wait are we looking for puppies. Because if we're looking puppies I call dibs on them!" Caboose joyfully asked a Church wished he had real eyes again, so that he could twitch them in irritation

"No Caboose, you're looking out for whatever come from the creepy flipping base." Church explained as he face palmed his helmet "Seriously we can only say the swear hell and no other swear word, then again I guess this is a hell in itself."

"That's what my dad use to say every time my grandma came over our house for a visit… then he got arrest for first degree murder. Grandma didn't ever show up again after that." Caboose calmly remarked as Church just sighed in slight frustration

"You know what I'm not going to even touch on that, just…just keep y-" Church began to say, but was cut off as a sudden large bang could be heard from the lower floor of the base "Hold that thought."

With that Caboose nodded and looked back out to the other base, Church meanwhile began making his way back down to the lower section of the base. As he made his way down, he still couldn't believe how spacious this place was, even with all the fancy new equipment they had. The building itself looked to have multiple floors from the outside, but in actuality inside the base was a large room with a few beds, kitchen and three bathrooms with built in showers. But that wasn't what made this base amazing, what this base had that made it amazing was the arsenal of weaponry along with the tech built into this place. The base's armory had a large quality of Battle Rifles, DMR's, Assault Rifles, Magnums, Shotguns, Twin barreled rocket launchers, Light Machine Guns, Sniper Rifles, Submachine Guns, and lastly mounted Heavy turrets. Also there was a large stock pile of ammunition to last over two life spans and one warthog strangely. The tech built into this base was just as impressive as its arsenal as there was thirteen well placed security cameras around the base, reinforced concrete walls and a main terminal that controlled the base's electronic functions. All in all, he along with the rest of the sim troopers might actually enjoy the stay…possibly… maybe… it's honestly a bit too early to say. Church finally made it down the lower floor to see much to his confusion the sight of Tucker, Doc, Simons and Washington all covered In black powder as they were getting back up. Tucker took notice of Church first, as he gave him a quick wave.

"Hey Church what's up?" Tucker asked as he and the others tried to dust the powder off with no luck "It's just like the stuff from the fizzling teleporter!"

"Oh yeah I remember that, that what you used to trick us when you went to save that crazy chick Tex." Simmons stated

"Wait you what?" Washington asked as he gave up trying to dust himself off

"Long story Wash, but right now I'd like to know why your all covered in powder and if it had to involve a small scaled bang?" Church asked back

"Oh that's probably it Church, you see me and the guys found these empty grenades cases. But in small quantities, then out of nowhere a small plan came to me. What if I used an experimental powder I've been making for incapacitation. But as you see, the end results weren't grand though as the powder was supposed to encase our legs into a black bubbly foam. But instead it just blew up." Doc explained as Church had to take a good few seconds to take this information all in

"Okay for one that sounds really flipping moronic and two where did find time to make this so called black bubble powder or whatever." Church asked as Doc just shrugged, he then face palmed his helmet once more. But Church also did wonder something else now "Hey where is everyone else anyways?"

"Well Griff is off somewhere sleeping, Sarge is looking over the guns, Lopez is with him, Donut is taking a shower and Carolina is looking over the base some more to see if there are any clues on why we ended up in this place." Simons explained

"Okay then, actually do any of you remember yet how we ended up here?" Church asked once more

"Personally, I don't have anything. What about the rest of you?" Washington said as Simmons, Doc and Tucker shrugged not knowing themselves

"What about you Church, you remember anything yet?" Tucker asked as Church sighed

"Nope, though…" Church replied back as he did remember something "Though I do remember one thing, I remember… I remember darkness."

"Darkness, Church are you going emo on us?" Tucker asked with a confused toned

"Wait what?" Church responded, but Doc cut in before Tucker could say more

"Not that there's anything wrong with that of course. I mean everyone should have the liberty to become what they want to be, so where not here to judge." Doc kindly said as Church sighed

"Shut up, look all I remember is darkness and that's it." Church stated as he was already frustrated enough as it was

"Now that you mention it, yeah I kind of remember seeing that to. Huh, that's weird…" Washington responded with a slightly bewildered tone

"Look lets figure out this later, I'm hungry and we've got a heap of food in the kitchen. So who's with me?" Tucker suggested as the others suddenly heard their stomachs growl

"Ditto." Doc, Washington and Simons stated as Tucker just began making his way to the kitchen. The others followed behind moments later, though Church wasn't hungry himself since he was technically a robot in his current body. But he followed anyways since there was nothing better going on in this base so far. But unknown to them a single shade was hiding in the shadows of the base and was watching them; so he could report back to the other Shades in its base on their enemies. Then these people's spiritual hearts would be theirs

-Back with the girls and Tarzan-

"Okay for real how much more further, my legs and feet are killing me!?" Weiss asked in slight irritation as she, Ruby, Blake, Yang and Tarzan had been walking through the jungle for a good while now. The girls were all getting tired, but Weiss hated to admit it that she wasn't as tolerant when it came to long distance walks; despite the rigorous training she received since she was child

"Trust us Weiss we're wondering the same thing, but complaining about isn't going to help much." Yang responded back kindly, though her legs and feet were starting to hurt as well "Ruby, mind seeing if you could help your girlfriend feel a little more comfortable?"

"You bet I can Yang!" Ruby happily replied back as she was the one feeling the least tired, so she quickly moved in front of Weiss and then turned her back towards her as she crouch down a little

"Ruby sweetie, what are you doing?" Weiss asked as Ruby giggled a little

"Wanting to give you a piggy back ride." Ruby happily explained as Weiss blushed a little and placed herself upon Ruby's back. Ruby then got back up as she placed her hands under Weiss legs to keep her up

"You're not having a hard time keeping me up, right sweetie?" Weiss asked with a shy tone as Ruby gave her a wide reassuring grin

"I'm fine hun, I'm a lot stronger than I look. Now keep a hold on me, I don't want to drop you." Ruby said joyfully as she began moving up again, while Weiss held onto Ruby with a wide smiled of joy

"Those two seems to already be getting all lovely dovey with each other or they're just being more opened about it since they're going out now." Blake remarked with an amused grin as Yang walked up next to her grinning herself

"Yeah they seemed to be, but I'm happy that they're happy." Yang responded as she really was glad that her little sister and Weiss we're happy "Anyways did you want me to give you a piggy back ride Blakey?"

"It's okay Yang, but I appreciate the gesture either way." Blake replied as she gave Yang a kiss on the cheek, then above them was Tarzan swinging on the vines while waiting for them to catch up every few feet "Tarzan you know showing off isn't a nice thing to do."

"Well if you girls just tried to swing on vines like I do, then it wouldn't be showing off. It's a lot easier than it looks." Tarzan responded back with a smirk

"And we told you that there was no way any of us we're doing that." Weiss stated as she looked over to Yang "Still I'm surprise that you out of all of us didn't want to try vine swinging."

"Weiss I maybe a dare devil at times, but even I wouldn't do what Tarzan is." Yang explained kindly as she began wondering something "But Tarzan for real, when are we going to get to wherever the source of the noise was?"

"We should be there soon, I know these jungles and the bamboo area is where the noise came from. Actually, now that I think of it we should be there a minute or so." Tarzan answered as he leapt down in front of the girls. Ruby then placed Weiss down, Tarzan the looked around for a moment and then back at them "I need to ask, but can you girls try and keep qu-"

"BOOM!" The loud noise once more blasted off as the girls and Tarzan quick made their way forward. A minute later they made their way over to where the bamboo portion of the jungle. Once there, the group slowly made their way slowly through the bamboo. But they stopped seeing that there was a path way cut through a long length of the area

"What happened here?" Blake asked as the she and the others began looking around

"Can't say myself Blake, but it looks like an Ursa came through here." Yang joked, getting a quick laugh out of the girls

"Funny Yang, still whatever shot that gun must have also been the one to cut these bamboo trees down too. I mean from the looks of it they must have used a large sized knife, probably a machete. Ugh those blades are the most unsophisticated weapons in my opinion." Weiss stated as she really did hate machetes, mostly because she thought they were ugly looking

"Personally, I don't mind themselves. I've always wanted one since it would make me look… wait Tarzan don't! Ruby said as she had stopped mid-way of her sentence, seeing that Tarzan had picked up a shotgun shell which he inspected. Though Ruby was too late as Tarzan stuck his tongue inside the bullet shell, only to cough up a moment later from the left-over powder in it

"Ew, I tried warning you." Ruby stated sympathetically as she remembered that she had done the same when she was much younger, mostly out of childlike curiosity after she had found a shotgun shell left on the ground near her home. She also remembered having the same reaction and eating twenty chocolate chip cookies before the powered taste disappeared. So Ruby knew how that felt and pitied Tarzan that he had to learn the hard way

"Seriously, you pick up something from the ground you don't know about and just taste it. That's how you get diseases Tarzan." Weiss said with a scolding tone as Tarzan gave a sheepish smile back

"BOOM!" The noise echoed out once more, but much more louder and closer. Tarzan quickly climbed upon a tree, much to the girl's displeasure

"Come on Tarzan, you know we don't care to climb up trees like you do." Weiss stated with a frown, but Tarzan was still climbing up

"We'll have to follow him, because I ain't going back through this Bamboo. There's too much to see clearly." Blake responded as she beagn climbing up th tree

"You heard Blake, come on let's get a move on ladies." Ruby said as she, Weiss and Yang reluctantly followed behind Blake. Though this was easy for team RWBY, they just didn't care for the hassle of climbing up trees in general. But once they made it up there, Tarzan was looking down the edged of the tree

"Tarzan what do you see?" Yang asked as Tarzan simply pointed down, prompting the girls to scoot over to the edge and look down themselves. What they saw was part of the bamboo forest being cut down while a man's voice could be heard talking to someone else. Though no one could figure out what the man was saying, Tarzan became very curious about this as he began move towards another tree using a vine. Once he did that, he landed on the other tree and began sliding down it. The girls though again weren't very happy about this

"Girls…" Ruby stated as she, Weiss, Blake and Yang sighed. They then nervously did the same thing Tarzan did with thankfully no slip ups other than they were sacred out of their minds while using the vine. Once they landed on the other side of the tree, they slid down it as well. Which prompt them to crash into one another as they hit the ground

"Ugh…. everyone alright?" Blake asked as she got up first, then helped Yang up, who helped Ruby and who lastly helped Weiss up as she was then one everyone else fell on top of

"Other than being crush by my friends, yeah totally fine Yang." Weiss answered sarcastically as Yang rolled her eyes a little, but was amused as well. But before anyone else could say a thing, Tarzan cut in

"Shhh…" Tarzan said as he kept his gaze forward

"What, we're not that loud?" Weiss responded back

"Shhh…" Tarzan replied back as he was slightly sterner with his answer, then he motioned them to move up to where he was. The girls just shrugged and moved up next to him, where they heard the man's voice again. But it much clear and sounded like it was very close. The girls along with Tarzan pushed away some of the leaf's away to get a better look while listening in to what the man was saying

"That's when I knew I was born for Africa and Africa was born for-" The man was saying while cutting down bamboo with a machete. But he suddenly stopped as he looked right at the spot where the girls and Tarzan were hiding

"Maybe we should-" Ruby was going to suggested, but was cut off as a piece of bamboo near them blew up into pieces while the sounds of his shotgun echoed once more. The girls and Tarzan were quick enough to dodge and before any of them could quietly asked if anyone of the got hurt. The man cut down the last Bamboo trees and jumped out from the shadows while aiming his gun in a cautious manner

The man in question had tannish-peach skin with strong facile features, brown eyes, slick black hair with grey side burns and a pencil thin mustache. He wore a yellow shirt with the cuffs pulled up to past his forearms, oddly wore two leather braces around his wrists, tan pants, brown safari boots and a brown leather belt with his machete strapped to the left side. Lastly his gun turned out to be a double-barreled shotgun, though for the girls the model the man was wielding would be considered an antique in their world. But they knew that the gun model had a reputation from the early humans and Faunas of Remnant, the double shotgun was nicked named properly 'Grimm Grinder'. The nickname was given because anyone who own these guns in the early years of human and Faunas life on Remnant, would always be able to kill Grimm's with ease when up close. But as the girls studied the gun along with wondering who this man was, Tarzan was shocked once more of finding someone who looked like him. Then suddenly another voice came up from behind the first man.

"Clayton, Clayton there you are." Asked an older man. The older man was short, had white hair and a white bushy mustache, blue eyes, and peach skin. He wore a tan shirt with a blue tie. His shirt was tucked into his brown shorts that pulled up a bit around the old man's stomach and had a brown leather belt wrapped around. He also wore a pair of brown safari shoes with light brown socks and lastly a tanned safari hat. The older man walked up to the other man now known as Clayton, looking a little nervous with his surrounding "What is it, what is it. Clayton are we in danger?"

"I thought I saw something." Clayton responded as he kept looking around, while the girls and Tarzan tried their best to stay down

"I-Is it hippopotamus amphibious or a Rhinoceros Bihornus?" The older man asked with much excitement as he began moving around trying to find what wasn't there to being with

"Professor don't move!" Clayton yelled out as the older man called the Professor frozen in pace while he was moving with his arms up and one of his legs lifted up

"Oh right." The Professor stated with slight embarrassment, though he put his focus on staying still. That is until he moved his head over a little to see someone new coming through the bamboo

"Daddy, ow, ow, ah!?" A young woman with peach skin, blues eyes, black eyeliner, red lipstick and tied brown hair under a hat similar to her fathers asked as she pushed through the bamboo. She wore a yellow dress which look to be made for more safari type travel, two white gloves, a white separate collar around her neck, a small purple necktie, holding a brown leather book and lastly holding a yellow umbrella. The girls were surprised there were more humans now than before, while Tarzan was even more surprised by this. He was enthralled with the girl, he didn't know why but she was interesting to him. The girl walked up to her father as she almost tripped "Ow… daddy what is it?"

"Mister Clayton asked me not to move, he saw something." The professor explained to his daughter in a whisper as the girl frowned a little before turning her attention over to Clayton

"Ah mister Clayton, sorry… but my father and I came here to study gorillas." The girls began explaining as Clayton had walked up to the area the girls and Tarzan were at looking around as they did their best to hid themselves. Though Clayton did aim his gun right at Tarzan neck without knowing as the girls cringed in fear of what would happen if he accidently pulled the trigger. But Clayton didn't as he sighed before turning his attention to the girl, pulling his gun away from Tarzan. Much to the girl's relief that their friend wasn't going to be possibly shot through the neck

"You hired to protect me Miss Porter and protect you I shall." Clayton responded back with a slightly creep grin and tone

"He doesn't sit well with me." Ruby whispered as Clayton already gave her a bad feeling

"Defiantly, he seems like a back stabber." Blake responded back as she narrowed her eyes at the man

"I don't like the way he's leering at that Miss Porter girl. Seems creepy." Weiss stated as Clayton looked a little shifty to her

"Also like Ruby said, he's just gives off an evil vibe." Yang said last as Ruby, Blake and Weiss nodded quietly in agreement. Tarzan meanwhile kept quiet as the three newcomers continued conversing

"And you're doing a marvelous job at it, but you see the ship will be returning soon and-" Mister Porter beagn to explained, but did finish as her father began screaming joyfully; getting her's and Claytons attention

"Oh, Jane do you realize what your standing in. A gorilla's nest!" The Professor stated in a joyful tone as he and his daughter began to inspect the area. Happy about the find, Clayton also was happy as he inspected the nest

"Ah our first signs." Clayton happily said, but to the girls his tone seemed more… devious than Miss Porter or her fathers

"I'm going take a closer look girls." Tarzan said as he suddenly climbed up the trees

"Oh god what is he thinking?" Weiss muttered as she, Ruby, Blake and Yang scooted up to where he had been to get a clearer view

"He's not…." Blake asked with an unamused tone

"He is…." Ruby and Yang replied back, unamused as well as team RWBY looks to see Tarzan slowly climbing down a vine behind Clayton

"Professor do you think the beasts could be nearby?" Clayton asked as Tarzan moved down the vine, right behind him. Clayton was looking around as Tarzan kept incepting him, though by this point the girls we're getting a little peeved by Tarzans actions

"TARZAN!" Team RWBY yelled in a whisper that was loud enough, that only Tarzan could hear. Tarzan just looked back at them to see they weren't amused by this one bit, so he quickly made his way back to them right when Clayton looked back to where he had been

"What I was just curious." Tarzan whispered back kindly as he got a smack to the back of the head by Weiss

"Maybe so, but you could have gotten yourself killed if he saw you. He seems like a guy who shoots first before thinking things out." Weiss quietly replied back with a scolding tone

"Got to agree with my snow bunny, you need to be more careful." Ruby said kindly as Tarzan gave them an apologetic nod. Ruby just smiled back "It's no issues buddy, we know this is pretty mind boggling for ya. So we understand, huh they're still talking."

"I'm surprised that they are, seems like that Miss Porter and her father would be on the move right by now." Yang responded as she and the rest listen in on their conversation once more

"It's just like we said it would be!" Miss Porter happily said as team RWBY looked to see that she and her father had found more gorilla nests

"Family groups!" Miss Porter and her father happily stated as they hugged one another, this brought a smile the others as they saw these two as friends already. Clayton well…

"Family groups, excuse me but these are wild beasts that would sooner tear apart your head off than look at you." Clayton remarked as the girls glared at the man, while their distrust of him grew

"On the contrary Clayton daddies theory on their behavior is-" Miss Porter began to explain, but was interrupted as Clayton shot up in the trees, making a few birds fly away in fear "Clayton please, what if it's a gorilla?"

"It's no gorilla." Clayton responded back as he looked in every direction quickly in a slight caution. Once he stopped looking though, Clayton checked back at where they had entered from the Bamboo forest "Are you two coming or not?"

"Oh right, I almost forgot about your two other associates mister Clayton. Though only one of them I like, the other….well he's a rude one." Miss Porter said with a slight frown, while team RWBY and Tarzan raised an eyebrow at that

"There's more of them?" Ruby asked as she, Weiss, Blake and Yang wondered who else was here in the jungle. Though they got their answer a moment later

"We're coming Clayton!" A voice of a short man with short brown hair, brown eyes and tannish skin answered as he came first from the bamboo forest. He worn green pants, black boots, a maroon shirt with a tanned vest, a black cap and a black trench coat

"Huang, what took you so long and where's the boy?" Clayton asked as Huang frowned a little in annoyance

"Sorry, but not all of us have been in the jungle beforehand. For the kid, he's close." Huang replied back as he looked back to the bamboo forest "You still breathing kid?"

"What do you think?!" A younger man yelled out as the girls suddenly went wide eyed, recognizing the voice immediately

"Is that…" Yang asked first as she began smiling

"I think it is Yang." Blake answered as she began smiling too

"It must be, we only know one boy with that tone of voice." Weiss said next as she smiled now

"It is, it has to be." Ruby stated with an extremely wide smiled as the second man came out, revealing it to be Jaune

"JAUNE!" Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang yelled out as out of instinct they ran out of the bushes and ran up to Jaune, giving him a big group hug while surprising the others from them appearing out of nowhere

"Girls?" Jaune asked as he felt an intense hatred begin to boil up. But he knew he had to play the role as the old missing friend to them, just like Maleficent had instructed whenever he came into contact with them. Even if he wanted to slit all their throats at the moment "Oh my god where have been, I mean you all just disappeared and I ended up in this place."

"It's a long story Jaune, but where's Nora, Ren and Pyrrha?" Ruby responded as Jaune did his best convincing sigh

"I don't know girls, really I don't. I woke up here and I've been stuck since. Well until I met up with Huang first." Jaune explained as the girls looked over to Huang who just gave them a quick wave with a bored expression

"Then what?" Blake asked next

"I was getting to that Blake." Jaune replied back with the most convincing kind tone he could muster, without making him feel sick to his stomach for having to be nears these four girls again "Anyways after me and Huang here grouped up, we wandered the jungle for a good while. Then Clayton, Miss Porter and her father found us. Now here we are, reunited again my friends."

"Well we're glad your safe and don't worry. If we found you, then we're sure to find the others soon then." Yang stated happily as Jaune smiled back, while trying his best to fight his urge to punch Yang in the face

"Yang is right Jaune and as happy as we are to see you, may you introduce us to your friends?" Weiss asked kindly

"Sure I guess, girls your already know Huang. But Clayton is the guy with the gun, the lady here is Jane and the older gentleman is her father Archimedes." Jaune answered as he looked over to the others "Don't worry about these girls, they're my friends and are completely harmless."

"I see, well Jaune has been nothing more than a gentleman to me and my father. So any friends of his, are friends of mine." Jane happily said as she gave the girls a kind smile "Might I say though, you girls have quiet unique appearances. Like Jaune here and even Huang."

"Indeed, might I ask how you four young ladies ended up here?" Professor Archimedes asked as team RWBY looked at on another for a moment nervously

"Um…plane crash." Ruby answered with a sheepish grin

"Yeah a really bad one, like our plane crashed in the ocean and sunk like a stone." Weiss said, trying to help sell her girlfriends story

"Oh my, that does sound bad. Well then you can stay with us in our camp, I mean what kind of people would leave for girls all alone in this deep dark… and probably deadly forest." Jane kindly stated, though made herself nervous as she cautiously looked around the area for a few moments

"Really, I mean we just met them. How do we know they can be trusted, sure Jaune here can be since he's proven himself to us. But these girls are a different story." Clayton asked with a displeased tone

"I'll vouch for themselves Clayton, trust me I've seen my share of scum bags and crooks. These for are nothing but goody two shoes girl scouts." Huang said as team RWBY tried to debate if that was a compliment or an insult

"I see, then since I'm obviously outnumbered. I guess these girls can come along." Clayton said with a fake smile, which Blake out of the group caught. Then he turned his attention to the girls themselves "Though first, may I ask if you've seen any gorillas around the area?"

"Gorillas?" Yang asked with a convincing confused tone as she and the girls looked to one another, all already knowing that this guys shouldn't know where the gorillas are at

"No not really, we've seen a lot of birds though so there's that." Weiss said as she, Ruby, Blake and Yang had all decided without even saying it, that lying would be the best thing to do

"Oh really, well then let's get a move on." Clayton stated as he began making his way forward, followed by Jane, Professor Archimedes and the lastly Juane. Though Huang stayed back

"Hey kids, I need to have a talk with ya." Huang sternly said as Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang wondered what he wanted to talk with him about

"Okay what is it you need to talk with us about?" Blake asked narrowing her eyes a little "I mean what can you get out of us, we're just four ordin-"

"Yeah cut the crap girl, I know you ain't from this place. I ain't from this place either. Because I think I'd know if I was from the early 1900's. Which I ain't, so spill it brats." Huang rudely asked back

"Hey if you wanted to ask, you could be nicer about it!" Yang yelled back in an irritated tone, as Huang just shrugged her off "You son of a-"

"Yang calm down!" Ruby yelled out in a stern, but understanding tone as Yang looked at her a little surprised. Ruby then sighed "Sorry, I didn't mean to yell sis. But let's try not to fight okay?"

"I…alright, sorry sis." Yang replied back as Ruby gave her a reassuring smile that it was all good, Yang then took a breather before looking a Huang once more "Look your right when you say we aren't from here, were currently taking refuge in a place called Traverse Town on another world just so you know. So if you tell us were your from or who you're looking for we promise we can take you with us once we leave this world. Though Jaune will be coming with us as well, since he's one of our four friends we've been looking for."

"No issues coming from me, but I guess I'm looking for a few associates of mine. One of them is pretty easy to spot out, you kids know a guy named Hei at all?" Huang asked as team RWBY smiled

"You bet we do, he's at the town with everyone else!" Ruby happily answered "It's settled, you and Jaune will be coming back with us. Speaking of friends though, TARZAN YOU STILL HERE!"

"Ruby please don't yell so loud, we don't know what kind of animals could hear us." Blake stated as suddenly Tarzan landed in front of the group, while also startling Huang

"The hell is this guy?" Huang asked as he pulled out a pistol from his coat and aimed it right at Tarzans head, though the girls quickly summoned their keyblades ready to incapacitated him if needed

"Please, pull your gun away from our friend's head?" Weiss asked with a stern tone as Huang glared back at the girls for a few moments, but then hesitantly put his gun back in his coat

"Thank you sir." Blake said with a passive aggressive tone as she looked to Tarzan "Sorry about that, seems like the old man here is a bit jumpy."

"I'm not that old you brat." Huang responded back, not exactly in the most kindest of moods right now

"No, it's okay really. Still I saw you girls talking to the blonde-haired male and decided to go with them. But's it's okay, I'll tell your other friends you'll be temporally away." Tarzan kindly said

"Thanks Tarzan, tell them to make sure the gorillas stay safe. Besides between us, I don't like that Clayton guy. He's creeps me out and he's also I know for a fact he's just here to hurt the poor gorillas. So it's a good idea to keep an eye on him." Ruby responded with a worried tone

"Got to agree with you little sis, still Tarzan can you tell our friends what my sister just told you?" Yang asked kindly

"Yeah I can, still if you don't mind me saying. But I think Clayton seem like a nice one, just a bit grumpy is all." Tarzan replied back as he made his way back into the jungle, leaving Huang and the girls alone once more

"So, I guess we should make our way up to the rest of the group right?" Weiss asked

"We should come on, let's get a move on!" Ruby happily Weiss as she held her hand and pulled her along. Yang and Blake followed holding each other's hands as well, all the girls smiled while Huang just sighed following behind last. But he did wonder how those girls understood the wild man, all he heard was gorrila sounds. As they began making their way up Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang wondered what was to come next on this world. But they already could tell one thing, it was yet again going to be another interesting place to be in for a while

Did you all enjoy that chapter, hope you did because I took a good amount of time writing this chapter. Anyways I know there are questions forming in your heads, but all will be answered soon. So until the next chapter, see you all then and I hope you all have a wonderful day!
