Rhys strolled through the hospital, knowing which floor and room numbers Gray and Nia's rooms were. Jumping into an elevator, the boy looked at the briefcase he was holding.

Nia will love this.

The elevator opened up to a rather surprising sight. The doors opened to reveal, a familiar adversary and friend.

Maru.

The girl noticed Rhys and smiled. "Rhys! Hey! Are you visiting Gray?" The girl asked, hobbling over to him. The girl hadn't survived Beacon without injuries. Maru had her whole leg, worse then Nia's lower injury. The girl as a prosthetic leg for now and a cane, which she used to walk around to keep her muscles in shape. The girl's hair was in shambles as well. The happy and cheerful leader of MOCA was reduced to this.

And at such a young age.

"Yeah, I'm visiting and soon we're leaving." Maru smiled.

"Where you guys going? If you don't mind me asking."

"We're going to takedown KING."

"What do you mean?"

"Kill them." Maru's eyes widened at the explanation, and shortly, those same eyes narrowed into seriousness.

"Good. They took my leg and two of my teammates. Carr and Olena are dead because of what they caused."

"I'm sorry Maru. I'll help you get revenge."

"Thank you. Those bastards deserve everything they get."

"So, what's the plan again?" Nia asked, having Iris assist her to Gray's room. Her brunette girlfriend sighed and inhaled, trying to explain everything in one breath.

"We're gonna go after KING, however we're gonna get the gang back together so, we'll have to-" Iris took another breath. She did try. "Find Ruby and Yang, Blake is dark so we're out of luck for her." Nia frowned.

"Aww, that sucks."

"Rhys texted me saying that Weiss will meet us at Mistral, then we find KING or KIN now, and we make them pay."

"Is it true that Rhys killed Grant?" Iris nodded as she opened the door. "Okay." Iris continued to lead Nia to the chairs in Gray's room, the owner of said room saw the two and quickly got out of the bed to allow Nia to rest on it. "Uh, I got this Iris, you sit down." The blonde girl used the one crutch that she used before to maneuver herself to Gray's bed, lying in it. "See? I got it!" Gray chuckled and ruffled Nia's hair, hearing her giggle happily.

"So," The owner of the room sat in a seat next to Iris. "We're going to get Ruby first?"

"Yup!" The two girls nodded. "Getting you two together will be fun!" Nia continued. "Oh Gray I missed you soooo much~!"

"Oh Ruby, I missed you more~!" Iris mocked Gray. The two then made various kissing noises, Nia making a low moaning noise causing Iris to laugh, and Gray blush.

"You guys are jerks." Gray went to fold his arms, but his left arm wasn't cooperating.

"You two love teasing him huh?" The trio jumped at the voice with the thick accent and smiled.

"Rhys!" Everyone yelled, Iris leaping into the boy's arms while Nia waved her only arm for a hug. After hugging Iris, the man smiled and rushed to Nia slightly picking her up from the bed. "I missed you so much!" Nia cried.

"I missed you guys too." The three sat down and caught up on things.

"We gotta thank you parents Rhys."

"Trust me I did already." Everyone laughed. "It's really great to be here again. With you guys." Gray smiled and patted Rhys on the back.

"It's great to have you back brother."

"Yeah, the gang is all back together!" Nia beamed. The team conversed and caught up on other things before getting down to the nitty gritty.

"So, are you guys ready for this?" GIN almost instantly nodded in agreement.

"It's payback time. They aren't getting away with this." Gray growled.

"Damn straight." Iris nodded.

"Are you guys sure?"

"Rhys, we're taking these jerks down." Nia stated, a deadpan expression on her face.

"Gray? Will you be able to take it?"

"I may not be able to feel my arm but I can still fight." Rhys nodded.

"Alright." Nia smiled, seeing everyone together made her really happy. Rhys grinned at the blonde. "Oh and I have a few gifts for Nia." The boy walked back to the door to the room and grabbed two briefcases. "It broke my heart to see you like this Nia, my parents were even more upset. So, we made these." Before Rhys even finished his sentence, Nia gasped. The boy opened the briefcase at the foot of the bed, pulling out…

An artificial leg. The leg has a silver sleek look to it with bright red paint on it. It looked both robotic and humane at the same time. Robotic toes jutted out of the foot. "Oh my…"

"Here, it's yours." Nia grabbed the surprisingly light leg and scanned it some more.

"Iris, can you help me?" The brunette obliged and assisted Nia with setting it up on her leg. Once it was set, Iris helped Nia to her feet. The blondes legs buckled for a second, the girl fell to the ground. Instantly everyone rushed to her side, however Nia stopped them. "I got it! I can do this…" Nia breathed in deep, using her only arm to help herself up. The girl lifted her artificial leg and planted it. Pushing herself up, the blonde stood again for the first time in three weeks. The girl began to giggle and grin, excited beyond belief. "Guys! I'm standing! I'm standing! Gray, look! I'm standing! Haha!" The girl took one step then followed with another with the artificial leg. "I'm walking!" The blonde then wiggled her toes, the leg responding with that as well. "Haha!" Nia laughed. This was incredible!

"And another thing Nia." The boy also pulled out a artificial arm. The girl felt tears, tears of happiness. This was the greatest thing that had ever happened to her. The blonde leaped into the boy, almost falling due to the lack of not walking, and hugged him with one arm. "Wait silly, put it on and then you can give me a real hug." The girl did exactly that. A minute after she activated the arm, the girl hugged Rhys.

"Thank you thank you thank you!" Rhys smiled and returned the hug.

"We'll leave in a week, since Nia needs to get used to walking again." Gray, Iris and said blonde nodded. "Gray, I could get you a new arm too. If you want." The boy shook his head.

"No. My arm is just damaged not gone. I can still kind of feel it." Rhys nodded.

"I understand. We'll get Ruby soon big guy. We know you miss her." Rhys patted Gray's back as the boy nodded.

He'll see her again.

Shit was getting scary. Katherine stared out a window seeing… Grimm be born? Good god this was weird! She remembered when things were simple and fun!

Simply robbing a bank or robbing Dust store just to sell them, not injecting them into herself! And then, there was the time when KING was whole and they weren't missing Grant or Nyla wasn't a broken mess.

Everything changed that night.

Kath was feeling different about everything. When she saw Ruby unconscious and ready to be killed she felt… different. Something wasn't right about the situation. "Kath…" Cinder groaned. The blonde turned to her Maiden companion and stood beside her. Kath and Cinder were sitting in a meeting room with three other individuals waiting for their leader. Kath avoided small talk between all of them. They were all monsters in her eyes. But who was she to judge?

She helped with that terrorist attack so long ago. Suddenly the large doors to the meeting room opened, everyone standing up quickly. A woman Katherine had never seen before strode in and elegantly took a seat, a sign for everyone else to sit besides Katherine. The woman was Salem, Cinder's master in Kath's eyes. Everyone conversed about their plans and a few mocked Cinder for how beaten she was. Everyone faded out of Kath's focus, her mind wandering.

She's a monster. She caused so many deaths that night, innocent and…

Even Grants.

A tap on her leg broke her focus and she looked down to see Cinder nod her head in Salem's direction. "Sorry?"

"And you are miss?"

"I'm a partner of Cinder's. My name is Katherine Rani." Salem nodded.

"Very well. I've heard of good things about you. Don't disappoint us." Salem then turned her attention to Cinder. "As for you, you were defeated my a small little girl with silver eyes. Clearly this is a problem. And I need someone to take care of this issue now." The jittery man known as Tyrian waved his hand.

"I'll do it! Since our Maiden doesn't truly know what her power is, I'll do it." The man giggled creepily and sat awkwardly too.

"Actually. Cinder. Since miss Katherine here is also a test subject. Send some of those, altered White Fang. Surely they'll take care of the issue." Cinder nodded sadly. "And if that doesn't work, Katherine, I want you to resolve this speed-bump. Understood?"

Kath cursed under her breath. "Yes. Understood." She hated where this was going.

As the week passed, GRIN stayed together, helping Nia return to how she was before all of this. The girl gained some weight that she had lost and she looked much happier and alive. She constantly used the artificial leg and arm, wiggling the toes or the fingers. Finally, everyone was ready and together, they took a picture,

The reunion of GRIN.

Nia smiled as she told everyone to gather around. "This is gonna be so cool!" The girl wore an interesting outfit.

She wore a black tunic with short sleeves and a long cloth that ran in the middle of her legs, stopping at her knees. Her baggy combat pants were a much darker red and her shoes were combat boots. Her right leg had small amounts of armor, along with her right arm, protecting her limbs that weren't artificial. The black tunic had the right end of a smile on it, large and splatted directly on the center. The teeth were a pure white and the lips were a thin pink. Above the quarter of her smile was one letter; N. "Come on guys! Rhys, get your butt over here!" The man a thin gray overcoat with a white dress shirt and khaki dress pants, hair slick back. The back of his jacket had half of the middle of the smile, continuing the smirk with its white teeth and pink lips. Above his part was another letter; R

Iris jumped to Nia's side, wearing a dark green long sleeve shirt, the sleeves ending at her forearms and jeans with simple sneakers. Her outfit was the most lax of all three so far. As expected the brunette had the third quarter of the smile on the back of her shirt, almost completing the signature smirk of the team. Above her part was a I.

Lastly was Gray, the boy wore a dark blue long sleeve turtleneck, the left arm's sleeve was cut so instead the right was long and the left was short. He wore slightly baggy combat jeans and boots. Finally and for starters was Gray's beginning to the grin, above his part was G. Nia jumped up and down, wanting to get this picture. The girl grabbed Gray's right shoulder and dragged him to her, before slipping her arm across his back and planting her head in his shoulder, while also holding her scroll for the picture. Iris sat in between the two on her knees beaming a smile while looking up to the scroll. Rhys stood next to Gray, a soft smile on his face, having his arms lazily folded. Lastly was Gray, who flashed a toothy grin, a sharpened tooth sticking out and his ears obviously displayed to the world. "Say GRIN!" Nia giggled as she took the picture, everyone moved out of their poses and stood over her shoulders to see the image.

"Eh, not bad." Rhys snickered.

"Could've been better. Nia has gotten a little rusty in her photography skills." Iris joked making Nia gasp.

"How dare you! My skills never deteriorate! I'm the greatest friendship photographer ever!"

"I'll say." Gray laughed, patting the girl on her head. "You certainly have an eye." Nia grinned at her partner and hugged him. The boy hugged her back with his one functional arm and glanced at Rhys and Iris. "What are you guys doing? Get in on this!" The RI of GRIN embraced the other two, squeezing tightly. "Now, let's get this started. We have a personal vendetta to accomplish!"

"Wait! I want one more picture! Of all our backs with our letters and smile! Quick! Somebody get Maru!"

GRIN was now fully back together.

It took a while to fly to Ruby's home, it was kind of in the middle of nowhere and Rhys' transport had some difficulty. So instead of flying directly to the house, Rhys had them stop relatively close by, a nice walk to the house. "So, excited to see your 'wittle wose' Gray?" Iris teased.

"Yeah are you?" Nia asked, not in a teasing tone but more of interest.

"Of course but I'm also nervous guys."

"I understand," Rhys said, patting Gray on the back. "She'll be glad to see you. I'm sure." Gray smiled and nodded.

"I'm worried for Yang though. She's more upset about everything then I was." Nia added, messing with her hand. "We'll need to talk to her. She'd like to see some of her friends." Iris nodded. Finally, the four arrived at Ruby's house, it was lovely. Small but big at the same time. It slightly intimidated Gray. It made him happy but, nervous at the same time, due to the past he had here. "Gray, don't worry. We're right behind you." The blonde hugged the boy and they moved to the front door. Knocking, Gray waited nervously.

"Coming!" The familiar cheerful, manly voice made Gray's heart sink. Opening the door, Ruby and Yang's father saw the four individuals in front of him. "Hello, who are you four?" Gray slightly snarled and Rhys moved him back, Iris jumping into the leader's place.

"I'm Iris Hunt, she's Nia May and he's Rhys Müller. We're looking for Ruby Rose? She's a close friend of ours. We're also here for your other daughter Yang?"

"Friends? We're you guys all at Beacon?" RIN nodded together and Taiyang nodded. "Interesting, come in. I'll get Yang." Taiyang opened the door, allowing the team to walk in. Before hand everyone turned around to check on their leader. "Are you okay? Looked like you were about to lose control."

"Yeah, are you Gray?" Nia also asked. The boy in question nodded, rubbing his head.

"Just, looking at him made something snapped. You guys already know the problems I have with him."

"We understand but, try to keep it together okay?" Gray nodded and the four entered the house. Taiyang then walked back down the stairs seeing the four in his house.

"Sorry I've been busy with a lot." The blonde man scanned their faces, stopping at Gray. "No… Gray?!" The man rushed to the handicapped boy. "Oh my god! It's really you!" Taiyang embraced the boy, shocking him and making everyone in the room step back. "I can't believe it! I-I don't know what to say! I'm so glad you're here, a-alive!"

"Yeah, I bet you are." Gray said he didn't really know how to respond to this. Neither of the two did.

"I-I…" Taiyang sighed. "I'm so, so sorry. I… what I did… was unforgivable. I kicked a young child out of my house because I wasn't strong enough. I wasn't strong enough to take care of you three." Taiyang stared at the ground. "And I hated myself. I thought I… I thought I killed you. But here you are." Ruby's father looked into Gray's eye. "A young man, and still alive. Thank god."

"I…"

"Gray… I know I put you through a lot… I pushed you down a hard road. And… I want to say I'm sorry." Taiyang extended his hand out to Gray. Said boy looked at his team for help, all of them gesturing him to say something.

"Taiyang. I would shake your hand but, that arm doesn't really work at the moment."

"Oh!" The father switched hands and the two shook, RIN laughing quietly. "So, you four were in the Beacon attack too?" Everyone nodded.

"How's Yang?" Nia asked. The father of said blonde sighed.

"Not good especially now." GRIN glanced at each other, wondering what he was talking about.

"What do you mean?"

"She's even more upset now because Ruby's missing."

"What?!" Gray asked.

"Ruby ran out of the house."

"When?" Rhys asked for Gray's sake.

"Two days ago. Uh, there's a note in the kitchen, here." The man walked to the kitchen and grabbed the note and gave it to Gray, the others reading it with him.

"'If your reading this I ran away. I'm going after the people that were responsible for the downfall of Vale."

"She-she spelled downfall wrong." Iris pointed out. Nia, Rhys and Gray glared at her and the brunette shrunk. "Sorry." Gray then continued reading.

"'I'm not alone however… and hopefully I'll be able to come back. It'll be a long road to Mistral. Dad, please take care of Yang and Yang, it'll get better trust me. Love Ruby.'" She even put a small heart next to her name. Gray closed his eye and sighed deeply.

"She's doing what we're doing…" Nia mumbled. "Darn it."

"Wait, you four are going to Mistral too?" Taiyang interrupted. Rhys nodded. "You can't! I know what you four and my daughter are going after and it isn't safe! Your too young to be fighting such a dangerous threat."

"We're not picking a fight." Gray growled. "We're ending it. KING started first. We're ending it. Childhood isn't always easy Taiyang. You know that with me." The man nodded and sighed.

"Guess I can't stop you four can I? This is your journey, your story." Gray nodded, crumbling the paper.

"Can I-can I keep this?"

"Y-yeah of course." Gray stuffed the paper into his back pocket and sighed.

"Now, one last thing. Can we check on Yang?" Taiyang smiled.

"Yeah, she'd like that." GRIN walked to Yang's room, Gray knowing which room was which. Opening the door, the door revealed the blonde, who turned as saw the four, jumping out of surprise.

"H-hey guys." Yang waved with her good arm.

"Hey, Yang." They said together. "How you holding up?" Nia continued.

"Just peachy." Nia turned to her friends before walking closer.

"Your dad told us other wise. Still shook up by your arm?" Yang scoffed.

"Of course. Now I can't be a huntress."

"What about artificial limbs?" Yang didn't see Nia's due to the blonde not bothering to look at the others, more focused on her missing arm.

"That's not the same Nia. It won't be the same." Nia nodded.

"I understand. I feel that way already." Yang started at Nia before Nia showed her arm. "It's cool but, after a while you start to realize it isn't really you. It helps, and it makes me whole again, makes me feel relevant again. But… there's still… that emptiness." Nia then showed her foot. "You can still feel you limbs there but, they aren't. Even when you have prosthetics of artificial limbs, it doesn't feel like you." Nia's voice lost its overwhelming happiness and positivity. "But still, you can't let that stop you from being who you want to be. I thought it was over for me Yang, but here I am, walking and moving my arm again." Nia knelt before Yang and rested her artificial arm on her shoulder. "Just give it some time. It won't make you whole again but, it'll help you be on who you want to be. I promise you." Yang's eyes stared into Nia's.

"Okay. I'll… I'll think about it. I'm sorry, Nia. I'm sorry for what you've been through." The kneeling blonde stood and smiled.

"It isn't your fault Yang, don't blame yourself."

"So, what are you guys here for? Just a visit?" Altogether, GRIN shrugged.

"Kinda? We came to see you and Ruby and to… take her with us."

"To Mistral?"

"How'd you know?!" GIN shouted.

"Ruby's going there."

"Yeah, we know." Gray said. Yang smiled and sat up on her bed.

"Well, what are you guys waiting for? Go get her! Gray I know you miss my baby sis, be sure you give her lots of love. For my sake and yours." The leader of GRIN nodded and gave Yang a one armed hug, the girl accepting it. Taiyang moved out of the doorway to allow them to leave, but before Nia could take a step, Yang grabbed her hand. "And Nia."

"Hmm?"

"Thanks. Th-thanks for telling me that." The blonde grinned and saluted.

"No problem!" The blonde stepped out of the room, Yang's father behind them.

"Do you four need anything? Food?"

"Your kind Mr. Xaio Long but, we don't want to overstay our welcome." Ruby's father waved Rhys off.

"Nonsense! I wouldn't be a good host if I didn't entertain or feed you." GRIN had stayed just a bit longer, while Taiyang fixed them some food and contained them into a bag, along with some sleeping bags. Yang had stepped out of her room and laughed, knowing her dad would've done this. Finally, GRIN had left the house and waved goodbye, Iris holding their newly acquired bag of food. Yang and her father waved goodbye shouting good luck and soon, GRIN was back in the woods.

"So, what's the best path to Mistral from here? We have to catch up to them." Iris asked, shifting her hold on the bag.

"One second." Rhys held out his scroll and nodded closing it. "This way. It'll be a while but we can take this path."

"Can't we contact her?" Nia asked. Gray shook his head.

"No, trust me I tried. She might've left her scroll or it's dead." Nia snapped her fingers in anger. "It's fine. If we keep course and don't get distracted we should be okay." Nia nodded rushing ahead.

"A good ol' adventure to tell our children! The fantastic adventure of team GRIN! The race for the leader's lover! Will the leader couple be reunited?!" Nia spouted, Rhys shaking his head.

"Dummkopf."

Weiss paced in her room. She needed to escape this hell that was her mansion. Her father was irrational and her brother was insane. That was her whole family basically.

The only person she could trust was her butler! Rhys…

She needed to find a way to escape so she could get to Mistral. She wanted to see GRIN again. The heiress couldn't contact anyone either, her scroll had been taken to who knows where. Wait… does Klein know where it could be? Weiss sighed. Relax, breathe, and relax.

Weiss just wanted to be out of this place. There was more than one reason she wanted to attend Beacon. A knock on her door made the girl jump. "Come in." She sighed.

"Is something the matter Miss Schnee?" The jovial voice of her butler, Klein, asked.

"No Klein I'm fine." The man sat a tray he was holding down, a cup of coffee on top of it.

"If you say so. Your time is starting to come up. General Ironwood will visit here soon and that will be the best time to escape." His relaxed yellow eyes stared at the heiress.

"Great."

"I must say, your rather brave to be doing this Miss Schnee." The man then sneezed, changing his eye color instantly to a light blue. "This could be dangerous."

"It's a risk in willing to take Klein. You're the only person I can trust on this."

"Don't worry Miss Schnee I-I-I-" Another sneeze, "Ah, I got you one hundred percent." Weiss smiled and stood up.

"Thank you Klein. I'm glad I have a friend on the inside."

Ruby sat awake, it wasn't her turn to take watch but she couldn't sleep. She turned to see Jaune, Nora asleep, Ren taking watch. She couldn't sleep because of the many things in her mind. She didn't want to tell anyone but, Pyrrha's death still haunted her. So many things still haunted her. So many things flooded her mind.

How was her team doing? Ruby felt a little guilty, she had left her father and Yang, and Yang needed her but… Ruby wanted to do this. She wanted payback.

For Pyrrha.

For Nia.

For Gray.

Ruby's heart sank. She didn't know if Gray was okay or not. She didn't remember anything from that fateful night. All she remembered was Pyrrha's ashes fly past her and then… nothing. When she woke up in her room, Qrow was there.

Naturally she asked what had happened. What happened to Gray? Qrow had told her that he was 'fine', that baby talk. Ruby hated it. Because now she didn't know if the man that she loved was alive or dead or, in a weird tortuous state of his. Ruby tucked her knees close to her, flipping Gray's hoodie onto her head. She felt it's familiar warmth that it always had, relaxing her.

Her brain traveled through her memories remembering the times before they were separated. She smiled, remembering when he won her that large Beowolf. It was still in her room. She grinned into her hoodie when they messed with each other before Gray gave her one of his hoodie's. It was such a silly thing but, it meant the world to her.

It still means the world to her now. Right now it was the only thing she had to remember him, besides her memories. "Ruby?" Ren asked the girl sat up and looked at the boy. "Want to switch since your up?"

"Yeah, of course Ren. Go stop sleep I'll keep watch." The boy nodded and lied down, switching roles with Ruby. The girl went back to her brain, now thinking about her goal.

She had learned that KING or KIN for that matter, was 'stationed' at Mistral. So, Ruby and JNR could contact the school of Mistral and take out KIN.

Two birds with one stone.

Ruby wanted nothing for KIN to be behind bars. The little leader, hated Katherine. She was a monster! And Ruby had to dish out her anger and judgment on her. She could get her vengeance on her, to get that satisfaction for what Kath did to Gray. Ruby then frowned, hiding her head in her hands.

Please… don't be dead Gray… for her sake don't be dead.

Smashing a Beowolf into a wall was always a great way to finish a day. "Watch out, Gray!" Nia's voice shouted. The boy turned around, just in time to see a Boarbatusk sprint at him. The boy formed his father's shield and bashed the boarbatusk, stopping it in its tracks. Quickly, the boy kicked it over so it's belly was exposed and the boy stabbed it with his shield. With the boar dead, Gray sprinted to Nia, bashing the Ursa she was fighting to the ground. Together, the two pounced on it, finishing it off quickly.

With the other two of GRIN, Rhys avoided danger by using his orbs at a longer range, while Iris closed the distance. The boy dazed the one Beringel in the pack, giving Iris time to rush up. Getting into medium range the girl jabbed her sword at the Grimm, detaching it and extending the range of her weapon, the weapon stabbed the beast and dragged it closer, as the sword reformed. Iris ran around the monster, stabbing it with the other jagged and divided parts of the sword. Once the Beringel was tied with with Iris' sword the girl activated her sword to return to normal, thus making it slide and slice and cut all along the beast, ripping off its armor plating on its arms, and even dismembering its arm.

The beast screamed in pain, only for it to go quiet in a single second. The Beringel fell over, its head splashing into smoke by the feet of Nia. The girl smiled and wiped the sweat from her brow. "Not bad everybody!" She complimented.

"He was mine, Nia!" Iris frowned.

"You didn't have your name on it." The blonde smiled mischievously.

"You jerk!" As the two bickered, Gray collapsed the large tower shield that belonged to his father, before walking next to Rhys.

"Is there like a town or village near by?"

"Mm, yeah but it's a hike. It's still in our general path, so we don't need to make a detour." Gray hummed as the girl's continued to argue.

"Good. That's good to hear."

"Gray," Rhys started. "Let's not overexert ourselves okay? Ruby wouldn't like to see us dead."

"I know Rhys. I just," The boy's brother patted him on the shoulder.

"I know you want to see her. But we can't tire ourselves out."

"I got you Rhys." The boy in question smiled and tucked his scroll.

"How could you steal that from me?!" Iris cried.

"Because it was all in good fun my love!" For some reason, the two became dramatic.

"Alright you two. Enough with the dramatics." Rhys said, walking ahead with Gray.

Nia inhaled deeply. "And, scene." The two sprinted to catch up with Rhys and Gray the two relatively silent. Nia noticed that Gray was slumped in his usual stature.

"So, you guys are in a rush," Iris said. "Our fearless leader, in a rush to see his little girl?" She teased. Nia glanced at her girlfriend and shook her head.

"Hey Gray?" Slowly, the boy slowed down his walking pace. "Gray, hey are you okay? Answer me your scaring me!" Rhys and Iris turned around to see Gray's face. He looked terrible. The boy then dropped to the ground, however before his face met the ground, Iris and Nia caught the boy. "Gray!" Nia held the boy in her arms, lightly slapping his face. "What the hell happened?!"

"I don't know! Rhys what do we do?!"

"Relax! Don't panic. He's probably just exhausted. We still don't truly understand what's up with him." Rhys looked into the sky. Night was going to fall soon and they couldn't make it to village at this rate. "Damn it. We're going to have to set up camp. Nia, you watch over him, Iris come with me we gotta find some wood." The team split up, Nia lying Gray down as she set up their sleeping bags. Nia glanced at the unconscious boy, her heart wrenching slightly.

"Gray…"

Just a quick note saying good luck to everyone starting another year of school! I'm starting my junior year and I just want to say good luck and have fun! And make the most out of your High School time as well! Have a great day or night.
