Chapter 38

"I'm not your pawn, not another thing you own.

I was not born guilty of your crimes.

The riches and your influence can't hold me anymore.

I won't be possessed,

burdened by your royal test.

I will not surrender.

This life is mine."

Listening the angelic voice of Weiss Schnee, Oshanzu stood among the seated crowd with his human guise on, his dark blue hair matching his oceanic blue eyes.

Which gave a small glare to the sarcastically clapping Whitley Schnee before his eyes returned to the fleeing form of Weiss, making the summons step towards the exit to move to the after party, slipping through the small opening between many doors the aquatic summons entered the room before anyone else, finding a hiding spot as he shed his human guise he spotted the fountain behind a picture of Beacon academy held for charity, hearing approaching footsteps the being moved to the fountain quickly, becoming the water he sat in wait before sensing Weiss, her father and brother among the crowd.

Waiting for the crowd to mingle and become distracted, he rose from the water with his disguise forming a black suit over his being.

Stepping out from behind the paintings with an act of admiring the back he spotted Weiss beside her father, commanding a snake of water to follow him he willed it to slither to Weiss' right foot, tapping her ankle the girl looked down to blink as the snake of water morphed into a hand to point towards Oshanzu, looking up she spotted the being standing before the painting with a saddened gaze, stepping towards his side while the snake moved to the water, she stood beside Oshanzu in silence as her father turned to her with a frown at seeing Oshanzu.

"I take it Kolbe is here and well?" Weiss questioned with a hopeful voice.

"No, I came alone, call it a gut feeling if you will, when you left Beacon i… sensed something out of the ordinary" Oshanzu said with Weiss staring at the painting in silence, a sad look in her eyes before they turned to a voice.

Turning to the owner of the voice Oshanzu had a narrowed gaze to the dressed teen .

"It's beautiful. You two match." The teen said as he stared at Weiss while not even giving Oshanzu a second look as Weiss adopted a cold expression.

"Yes, it's a lovely painting" Weiss said as Oshanzu willed the atmosphere to become chilly, making most of the people move away as Weiss remained untouched.

"So, that was my attempt at breaking the ice. How am I doing so far?"

"Poorly" Oshanzu said with a sigh while admiring the painting.

"You are leaving a lot to be desired" Weiss said with an annoyed sigh.

"Well, I've always appreciated honesty. Henry. Marigold." Turning to the teen Weiss gave him an uninterested shake of a hand before turning back to the painting, with Oshanzu sensing the air suddenly, making him look around the room with a frown before returning his attention to Weiss and the fool.

"…You were wonderful. And I promise I'm not just saying that 'cause you're pretty." Henry said with Oshanzu feeling the air ripple with Weiss rolling her eyes.

Leaving a tense silence.

"Honesty, remember? So, you thinking about buying it?" Henry questioned with Oshanzu taking notice to the fountain overflowing, beneath the painting, making him frown as Weiss and the boy continued.

"No. I don't think so." Weiss said with another cold tone.

"Yeah, kinda pricey for a painting." Moving around the painting to investigate the overflowing Fountain before Oshanzu blinked at the sight of the water in the pond part frozen solid, with white smoke flowing to the ground, stepping away he turned to Weiss.

"It's to raise Charity" Weiss said with an annoyed voice, making Oshanzu look to the fountain with a worried expression.

"Oh really? For what?" Henry questioned with Weiss scowling

"For what?" Weiss questioned with her fists balling, making Oshanzu watch before hearing ice crack, making him look to the fountain he saw the water flowing on the floor harden into ice with small ice spikes rising from it.

"Hmm?"

"Heheh, I'll admit, I only come to these things for the food and drinks." Henry said as he took a drink from the chaperone passing by, nearly slipping on the frozen ice on the floor.

"So what, is it another Mantle fundraiser or something?" Henry questioned with Oshanzu giving him a rare glare he gave out, making the teen gulp.

"Get. Out!" Weiss growled as Oshanzu took notice to the room losing warmth, an act he had no doing in.

"What?"

"Get out, or I will have security escort you out.?" Weiss said with henry blinking in confusion.

"But I haven't done any-"

"You continuous disrespect to the city of Vale is what is making miss Schnee here angered, so I suggest you take your little mind away before I do something rash" Oshanzu said

"Pfft, whatever" Henry said with Oshanzu giving him a fierce glare before standing beside Weiss once again, allowing her to relax with the ice melting into water, making the being frown.

Reading the sign below the painting Oshanzu let out a sigh before a woman's voice caught his attention.

"But really, does it come as any surprise, what happened to Vale?. It was a long time coming, if you ask me." Turning to glare at the arrogant woman Oshanzu failed to see Weiss looking to her as well.

"Honey…"

"What? You said the same thing last night. If they're so arrogant to think they can get by without proper kingdom defense, then I say good riddance." Openly glaring at the woman and her arrogance Oshanzu raised a hand towards her drink as she was about to drink it, freezing it solid suddenly the woman gave out a startled cry before she turned to Weiss' angered outburst, with Oshanzu feeling a ripple in the air.

"Shut up!"

Turning to Weiss his eyes immediately drifted to her hands that gave off an icy glow.

"You don't have a clue! None of you do!" Weiss yelled with Oshanzu stepping back as the water on the floor began to freeze once more, making him step away as it began to spread.

"You're all just standing around talking about nothing! Worrying about your hair, your money, your stupid problems that don't mean anything!" Weiss yelled as Jacques approached her with a stern look, while Oshanzu was looking to the water behind her rise up and freeze, forming a figure as it froze and morphed.

"Weiss, that's enough" Jacques said as Weiss began to struggle, making the ice figure finally form with orbs of bright blue glow where a head would be.

"Let go of me!" Weiss yelled as Oshanzu stared at the figure as the left over ice melted into water, leaving a feminine figure in its place with a blank body canvass, the only thing there were its eyes and a shroud of icy air acting as hair, stepping towards the two the figure placed a hand on their shoulders, startling Weiss enough she fell with a glyph forming with a Snow white Boarbatusk appearing with blue markings on its tusks, roaring at being given new life it charged at the arrogant woman with the female figure looking to it before moving after it, appearing between the woman and the summoned creature it held its hands out with ice spikes rising up to form a small wall, allowing Oshanzu to watch the Grimm summons hit the wall, followed by it being shot by Ironwood, allowing the female figure to dispel the ice spikes to approach Weiss, who looked at it in shock as it/she knelt down to her, holding a hand down Oshanzu encircled the being as Weiss stood up, everyone shocked into silence as the figure turned to Oshanzu who had a look of awe.

"Interesting" he said before grabbing its arm to feel it cold to the touch, a pale blue skin tone.

"Hello, brother" the female form spoke with Oshanzu looking at it in surprise, before he stepped back to look at the female form of his real form, making him shrug with his human guise melting to show his real form, making Jacque gasp as Weiss blinked, looking to the female form she spoke.

"Who?"

Looking to Weiss the two turned to one another in silence.

"I'd like to know as well?"

Oniyuri

Skidding back into a building, Fuyu let out a growl as he shrugged off the piece of debris that landed on him, so far it have been fou-no five days since the party of six left Patch and Fuyu had to babysit the teens still young at heart with Ren, Pyrrha and Jaune having to help him, and right now he was nearing his breaking point as he watched an unknown assailant attacking the five, sending Pyrrha into Jaune and Nora and Ren he went to go for Ruby until Fuyu appeared between them with a punch colliding with the unknowns face, sending him into the air with him landing on his feet, wiping a dribble of blood off of his mouth he grinned as golden eyes met with Bronze copper.

"Ah, so if one of you is here, then where is the wolf boy, Hmm, my goddess is quite displeased that one of her children has been taken from her grasp" the man said as his wrist blades extended as he lunged down towards the Samurai, who gripped his sword with both hands, swinging at the man as he was close enough the two were put into a stand still.

"So, where is the wolf boy, It will make my next search easier" the man said before being thrown back by Fuyu as team JNPR moved to protect Ruby.

Twirling his weapon in his grip, Fuyu had a dark glare as the man merely laughed wickedly like a certain summons

"What do you want with him?" Nora questioned angrily as her grip tightened on her hammer, making her knuckles turn white slightly.

"HA, oh it won't matter, I'll go look for him once more after I deal with… you" the man said as he pointed mockingly to Ruby who blinked.

"Me?" the petite said with the man breaking down into maniacal laughter.

"You, You haven't the slightest clue do you. OH HOW EXCITING THIS MUST BE!" the man said before leaning to the right to avoid a Katana blade that incinerated the building behind him, sending a kick into the summons face the man was instantly worried as he saw Fuyu not even budge.

"If it is the same reason your hunting down my father, then you will have to go through me" Fuyu said as he spun his weapon in his grip before holding it with both hands.

"And us" Jaune said as he and Pyrrha moved to Ruby's defense.

"Well. This should be fun" the man said as Fuyu went to skewer him in place, only to be used as a spring board as the man was now flying towards Ruby, his wrists blades clashing with Jaune and Pyrrha's shields, sparks flying he looked to see Ren and Nora rush at him, flipping away from the two shields he summersaulted away with his head tilted.

"We're not letting you take her" Jaune said with a fierce look, making the man inhale through his teeth with his eyes closed.

Before he opened them with ahappy growl.

"Good" moving with surprising speed he was behind Jaune with Pyrrha's eyes widening.

"Juane!" hearing the voice the blonde turned his head to see the man's wrists blades ready to strike.

Before a fist belonging to Fuyu sent the man away, leaving him surrounded by Ren and Nora while Pyrrha had a glare aimed at the man.

Who merely grinned as he looked between Ren and Nora.

Turning he rushed towards Nora as Ruby readied a lightning dust round in Crescent Rose, taking aim and firing she smiled as Nora was hit with a full charge coursing through her as she was sent flying, making a dust cloud as the man stopped, looking between the two he smiled with a laugh.

"Well, if that isn't ironic." The man said before he frowned as sensing something afoot.

Turning he saw Nora rushing at him with Magnhild slamming down onto him.

Making the five shield their eyes as Fuyu narrowed his own as his Katana caught fire.

Looking their eyes widened at seeing the man crouched down, unharmed with a Scorpian tail blocking Nora's attack.

"Surprise" following that with two kicks to Nora's face he leapt away with Fuyu watching his movements.

"He's… a Faunus" Pyrrha and Ren said in surprise as the man smiled evilly.

"What is this about? The White Fang? Roman Torchwick?" Ruby questioned with Fuyu tensing up in case, his eyes taking a golden glow as he stared at the man.

"Plastic soldiers and pawns. My heart and body belong only to our goddess." The man said with Fuyu's eyes showing accomplishment.

"Cinder…" Ruby said with the man scoffing, opening his mouth he was silenced by Fuyu.

"No… not that weakling… someone far more evil… you made the mistake in being still for too long, Tyrian Callows" Fuyu said with the Faunus' eyes widening with a hateful scowl as he dropped to the floor, a fierce glare aimed at Fuyu who had his own smug look as he flexed his fingers.

"How do you know my name?" Tyrian said with Fuyu's eyes glowing brightly, showing them all.

"When my brothers, sister and I gained our own lives, we gained new abilities… mine seems to allow me to look into a person's memories as a feeling of Judge, Jury and executioner" Fuyu said before Tyrian was in front of him his wrist blade stabbing into his throat with Tyrian grinning, before rushing towards Ruby, his wrist blades ready for another strike until he was stopped by Fuyu's sudden appearance, followed by Tyrian being forced to leap away as Qrow Branwen arrived with a downward slash.

Looking to the Faunus he failed to notice Fuyu's head burn away to show a fiery skull glaring at the Faunus.

Looking to Ruby, Qrow smiled.

"Hey"

Atlas

Staring at the female spirit, Oshanzu and her stood within Weiss' room in wait of her, the two staring for about possibly hours now before the door suddenly opens to show a distraught Weiss move to her bed and cry face down, making the female being move to comfort her, obviously feeling a connection to Weiss Oshanzu watched in silence as Weiss looked to the form in silence.

"Sorry… I never really got to ask who you are?" Weiss questioned with Oshanzu feeling defeat within her before he clenched his hands, moving to the door the woman spoke with words stopping him in shock.

"You are my mother… or future mother seeing My physical body is still growing within you" the female being said with Weiss blinking in shock as the woman stepped back, looking to her hands she closed her eyes as a mist hovered over her before what could be described as an adult Weiss stood before them… with white wolf ears that matched her hair and cerulean blue eyes that glowed as she smiled.

"You already know who my father is" the woman said as she looked up to her twitching ears before her form melted back into her ice state, kneeling before Weiss the woman bowed down to her in silence.

Looking to the supposed daughter Weiss had a look of shock before she had a look of determination, moving her bed and such aside for room the two beings stood at the side as she retrieved a case of dust vials, and Myrtenaster with a focused look.

Leaning on the second floor balcony, Blake let out a tired sigh at remembering the scenes that played out after Sung's blabber of her and Kolbe's relationship, which ended with the wolf Faunus eventually catching the Monkey Faunus to punch him as punishment, which was followed by Blake having to explain calmly of… her child currently developing.

Which resulted with her mother gasping with a smile and her father…

"Your dad" hearing Kolbe's voice she turned around to blink as he had a serious black eye that was healing gradually, stepping to her side he spoke.

"Has a mean punch, I see where you get it from, and also, explain to me how your mother had you with your freaking giant of a father, I mean look at him!" Kolbe said with Blake smiling softly, looking to the moon Kolbe let out a sigh as his mind drifted to the two Faunus from earlier, seeing the two with a monk look his mind kept going to them in suspicion before the two heard footsteps, turning they saw Kali walking to them with a shy smile as she held a tray of tea.

"Sorry if I'm interrupting a tender moment between you two" Kali said with Kolbe smiling as he stepped aside, allowing the mother of Blake to step between them, looking to Kolbe's black eye she winced slightly.

"Sorry about Ghira, he's just seen his daughter for the first time in years and the news of you two… and the others… really brought out his bad side." Kali said with Kolbe shrugging.

"It's ok, it tells me where she gets her punches from" the teen said with Kali giggling and Blake pouting, tapping her daughters shoulder Kali spoke to Blake as Kolbe looked to the scenery. Before hearing Sun walking around below, making him step away from the two to look down to see Sun waving down at him, a look of urgency.

"Hey Blake?" Kolbe questioned with the girl looking to him.

"I'm gonna go for a walk" Kolbe said with Blake sighing.

"Be careful alright?" Blake questioned with Kolbe smiling as he stepped to her as Kali moved aside, watching Kolbe kiss her lips before leaning back with a smile as Blake blushed as she looked to Kali who had a wide smile.

"I'm always careful" Kolbe said before hopping off the balcony, landing beside Sun who jumped.

"Dude, now is not the time to fool around" Sun said as he brought his scroll out, holding it to Kolbe's face the teen pushed it away before taking it calmly.

Looking to the image he saw the White Fang symbol on a crate being moved.

"What's this?"

"Dude, the White Fang are here" Sun said with Kolbe looking at him before looking up to hear Blake walking to another room, making Kolbe sigh before he spoke.

"Alright, let's be quick about this, you already caused me trouble with Ghira" Kolbe said with the two walking away from the house.

Walking Sun spoke.

"Alright, I was walking around the village to see if their was anything to do, and I guess a few Faunus girls caught my eye, and the fact they were wearing White Fang outfits made it a serious manner" Sun said with Kolbe giving him a deadpan look.

"So you were distracted by the girls, only to realise they were White Fang members and so you've decided to drag me away from Blake to see what their doing?" Kolbe questioned with an annoyed look before Sun brought his scroll up once more, making Kolbe stop with his eyes narrowing into red orbs at seeing the two monks from earlier speaking with White Fang members.

"Those guys are working with them, and I heard Adam being mentioned" Sun said with Kolbe's red eyes looking to Sun who had a serious look as the wolf teen walked forward.

"Let's see what they're up to" Kolbe said as he walked forward.
