Author: hey guys, welcome back. So did you like my surprise last chapter?
Jack: I sure did
Author: of course you would, anyways here's the next chapter
Third Person POV
Four people sat a table. Cinder was sitting at a seat, missing an arm and severely scared. Author Watt looked at Cinder with contempt. Tyrgain was crouching on his chair muttering madly. Hazel Rainart just crossed his arms and stared into space.
Emerald and Mercury entered the room then stood at Cinder's side.
"Yes, yes please control your posse." Watt sneered.
"Don't criticize the girl, she was almost was killed by two opposing elements." Xorc said surprising everyone.
"Who are you?" Tyrgain asked.
"His name is Xorc, he will be working with us for the foreseeable future." Salem said walking into the room.
"Cinder I'm curious, what did you see during your fight?" Xorc asked.
Cinder, with Emerald helping, explained what she saw.
When she talked about Jack's transformation back into himself Xorc slams his fist into the table. "Kuso!" He yelled.
Everyone looked at Xorc in confusion. "Jack Erebus is alive." He stated.
Salem raised an eyebrow. "Why would you say that?" She asked
"He should have turned into smoke that all Grimm turn into. Knowing my nemesis, he had a hand in it." Xorc stated maliciously. "And I though we would be free of that particular blade of the moon." He continued.
"Shattered moon? Sounds positively dreadful." Tyrgain commented.
"Shattered moon will be one of our biggest obstacles if not the biggest, they have people everywhere." Xorc explained.
"I assume you know the command structure?" Salem asked.
Xorc nodded. "There field leaders who report regional to regional leaders. The regions are really just the kingdoms. Then you have the big three, the light, shadow and the blade of the moon. All three of them are in vale but it's ill advised to attack." Xorc explained.
Ruby's POV
I don't know if it's spending time in Jack's mind or something else but Fenrir is really smart. I'm currently playing chess with him and Fenrir is winning! Jack was watching from the side really amused.
The world dulled for a second and refocused again. "I think I'm waking up." I said. It's kinda useful having Jack's memories.
"All good things must come to end. Ruby let's keep the fact we shared memories, you know how much I love to mess with people's minds." Jack said with rare glimmer of mischief in his eyes.
[real world]
A white ceiling was the first thing that greeted me.
"It's good to see you awake Ruby." Uncle Qrow commented. "Your mother almost had a heart attack when you unleashed your power."
I blinked. "I did?" I asked.
Qrow nodded. "It petrified a lot of Grimm. The only reason that we are in Vale's hospital is because your boyfriend's group is keeping a close eye on things." Qrow explained.
I nodded. "How long was i out?" I asked. Jack wasn't sure how fast or slow time was moving compared to the real world since he died.
"Surprisingly only a day. Your boyfriend however is still knocked out." Qrow explained.
A nurse walked in and did a quick check
"He wont be for long." I said
A nurse walked in and shooed Qrow away. "You seem okay, just take it easy for today." Nurse said.
. I quickly got dressed. When I left Qrow was waiting outside the door. He handed me Creasent Rose and and the pistol that Jack gave me. "I would figure you would want these back." He said.
When we entered the waiting room everyone smiled in relief. Mom hugged me tightly. "I'm glad your okay." She said crushing me.
"Mom, your *gasp* crushing me." I said with a little difficulty.
"Sorry." Mom said after letting me go. I smiled while catching my breath.
"-ess, still it's good to see you alive Jack." Jet said walking out with Jack.
"I know." Jack said smugly before spotting me.
Unfortunately dad spotted Jack at the same time. He marched over to Jack trying to be intimidating. Jack just kept eye contact.
"Jack if you hurt Ruby I will!" Dad started
"Will what? Mr Long I have fought Assassins, mercenaries and Grimm that would make you wet your self with out a second thought. My fear is reserved for your wife and daughter. They give a whole new meaning to 'looks that kill'." Jack said with out missing a beat.
Mom and I smirked a little. Dad stood speechless for a second before shaking his head.
Third Person POV
"Ugh, where are am I?" Roman asked getting up. He was a decent room with everything he would need. There was bed, a table, coffee table and giant mirror in the middle of the room.
Roman walked up to the mirror, he was still in his regular clothes and had everything but his cane. "Still a handsome devil." He said to himself.
The Roman in the mirror moved on his own. "Your an idiot." It stated.
The real Roman stepped back in shock.
"You knew something was up the moment you caught the women at the Curtain Hotel was staring at you. It was like you were being dissected from a distance!" The mirror image.
"Now hang on for a moment!" Roman yelled.
"And little Red! I mean sure she was handy with that scythe of her in beginning and probably that's it but later on? I mean come on! What kind dainty little girl cleaves through Grimm like nothing and fights with that boyfriend of hers in hand to hand combat' HE'S THE GODAM REAPER!" The mirror Roman yelled.
"But the pay out was so good!" Roman argued back.
"Money is nice isn't it?" The mirror Roman said. "There was probably better pay SOMEWHERE ELSE! I mean it was some pretty big numbers but, you should have got out as you knew something was up!" He continued.
"Hm, who are you?" Roman asked.
Mirror Roman faced palm. "I'm you, you nitwit! The one who would have gotten out of there immediately!" He said.
With Neo
Neo woke up with a yawn. Blinking the tiredness out of her eyes. She spotted the mirror and walked over to it.
She posed in front of it when her mirror image, like Roman's moved on its own. "You failed." It signed.
"What are you?" Neo signed.
"You isn't it obvious?" The mirror Neo signed tiredly. "You should have checked that there wasn't anymore soldiers behind you."
Neo didn't move for a little.
"You failed to kill that blond bimbo because you decided to draw it out, you should've got it done with." The mirror Neo signed.
"Well how was I supposed to know that I would get interrupted!" Neo signed.
Jack's POV
Ozpin, Ironwood and I where at cafe since we agreed that Beacon isn't the best of places to meet at.
While we were able to save a lot of people, the same can not be said for property. The Vale CCT tower is good example. A white Fang Bullhead crashed into the tower after avoiding flack. While unfortunate, it really doesn't affect Shattered moon in fact it helps a lot.
"Did you predict that the CCT tower was going to fall?" Ironwood asked.
I nodded. "The towers are giant weakness, so in case a tower was taken down we set up a system to be used by our operatives and the public." I said.
Ozpin sighed. "While that is nice, that's not what we want to discuss." He said.
"Right, sorry Oz. For now, I think we should the hunters in training home. Using the time the students are away we could build a place for hunters to train in safety in while defending the relics." I said. Ozpin and Ironwood looked shocked for a second before nodding.
"Reasonable, and considering your position of power, it's not surprising that you know of the truth of the relics." Ironwood said.
"We've kept an eye on the relics like you have but have not touched any of the relics." I explained. We continued to talk about what to do, from where to place the relic to how to deal with Salem, Cinder and they're cronies.
Cite sent me message. 'Your mother is finally beneath the earth.' I smiled. I got up.
"Hey, I have to go. There's something I want to do." I said getting up. Before they can even say a word I was off as Ovar.
I landed in a forest with Grimm. I was focused getting to the grave and not caring about the Grimm.
The grave was simple and on a ledge. Summer's own grave was off to the east.
While I stood at my mother's grave, I started delving into my mind. No Grimm, Ruby wasn't next me, Cite and Thatch wasn't teaching me. I was alone.
I really have lost everything. Parents, home, humanity, and now life. I mentally laughed, I had essentially claimed my self. A great irony.
I turned to my thoughts to my friends. While I seem to the world either a bloody, merciless killer or a cold and emotionally dead. My friends know who I really am, a friendly guy who is not like everyone else. A monster and they don't care. I'm glad that they stayed with me, even when I became not only a monster but death incarnate as well.
Ruby becoming something more than friend was something I never though that would happen. I knew what love was but in a way I was afraid of it. I had love in the form of adoptive grandparents, freinds, and mentors but Romantic? I thought no one will love me like that.
But Ruby, as the extraordinary women she is, broke through my expectations. She re shaped me in a way that only I know.
I looked back as the world came back a little. A single Rose grew next to a tree.
I've faced my demons, accepted and over come them. Ruby hasn't and I'll help her do so.
I held a ungloved finger over the Rose and let a bit Grimm essence drop down upon it. The Rose petals turned black, making it into a Grimm Rose. I then plucked it and laid it on my mothers grave.
Third Person POV
Stalin was watching Seth rip through his own men. Seth continued to beat down the men while Stalin took notes on what could be improved.
"Stalin, there someone who wants to see you." A blood Throne grunt said.
Stalin nodded. "That's enough. We will pick this up tomorrow." He said into mic.
Seth stops swinging his dual swords around. The various soldiers that were pitted against Seth weakly.
After walking into a meeting room Stalin was met with hazel standing stoically. "Who are you and what brings you here?" He asked.
"My name is Hazel, and I'm here to make deal." Hazel said bluntly.
Stalin nodded. "Let's hear it."
"You money and supply's, we got them and we will give them to you if you attack some places of our choice and give us everything you know on Jack Erebus." Hazel said.
Stalin stayed silent for a few minutes. "Deal." He said.
Hazel raised an eye brow.
"I have pretty good idea of want you want who your employer is. Walk with me." Stalin said. Hazel walked next to him as they walked down a hall. "I'll skip what is probably public and get to the point. Jack is half human and half Grimm, we call people like him Darkbloods." Stalin explained.
That piqued Hazel's interest. "How is that possible?" He asked.
"We experimented on humans and found the perfect balance. As a darkblood Jack's aura is dependent on Grimm since Jack generates very little aura." Stalin explains.
