Chapter 18
It was the next day and we all woken up seeing the weather had improved from yesterday while I just can't get it this feeling outing my system like something I know but can't get it.
We all were outside seeing Ruby and Qrow pulling a trailer up only for it to suffer a tire burst and that old lady then talked about us just being bad luck "you know I am really getting tired of her remarks!" Samantha shouted out pointing to her.
"Samantha calm down" I said to her calming her down "us three will try to find another wheel" I then lead my friends away to find another one.
...
We entered a barn trying to find a wheel when I heard Jack saying something "have you all noticed their mood changed?" making us all stop and looking at him.
"you know now you mentioned it yes I have they seem more tired than usual!" Amanda said in a thinking and curious way.
I was in very deep thought I know where I seen this before my mind going through all it history banks trying to find it "James" I heard someone saying to me as I just ignored it come on think tired all the time now a place with dead people in bed "James" again I ignored it but just then my mind came up with the answer my eyes shot wide open as I gasp at it "of course...!" I looked to my friends "we need to get out of here and fast" I said rushing by them with them following me.
...
We came to the house I saw it was Oscar "hay where the other!?" I asked grabbing him.
"their down there" he pointed to the well.
"Amanda stay here keep him safe" I shouted out jumping in the well with the other two behind me.
We land I couldn't hear anything "James what wrong?" Jack asked me as we walked down a tunnel.
"there is a type of Grimm that my kind dealt with once a long time ago their called Apathy a human type body but we seen what they can do we came to a village only to find that they had killed a whole village" I said as we heard Screaming then we saw the other rushing by us as we followed after them I stopped and placed a hand down "wall!" I shouted out seeing a huge rock wall blocking their path "come on it will not hold long" I said rushing off.
We turned corners, dodging their hands we killed a few we came to a dead end seeing an exit leading up as the others were struggling to move "quickly get going!" I shouted out as me, Jack and Samantha were trying to hold them off but they just kept coming we were slashing and dicing our way through them but yet there was not end.
Just then we saw a white flash which stunned them for a few min giving us a breather before they were moving again "move get it opened" I heard Jack saying to them as we saw them on the move again we then went back to fighting I was using everything I had fire, earth anything to just kill them or slow them down but nothing.
Just then we saw a bright flash again as we covered our eyes hearing the Grimms screeching out a few min later we all looked seeing them dead "wow!" I said amazed by it but just then I realised something "quickly move there more" I said as we all rushed up the stairs and saw we were back in the house.
We all rushed out seeing Weiss and Ruby pulling Qrow behind them climbing on to the Trailer Yang started up her bike and we were driving away seeing the house the on fire.
...
It was silent only the old lady talking about them and what they are I was ashamed at this ashamed at myself for not remembering it too soon until she mentioned about not seeing an entire settlement weather away "I have!" I said looking down "the whole time we were there I had this funny feeling but what I couldn't remember until you all went down the well I then just remember it was a long time ago my kind told us about a village that they found everyone was dead they then went under the village and found those Grimms they surrounded the town and burned it all down blew up the cave as well" I said to them not even facing them all until I heard Ruby asking the lady something when she said she had silver eyes which perk my head up "what!" I shouted to her as we all looked at her.
...
After she had finished her story on how she lost them I couldn't help but feel it was our fault that she lost her eyesight but something caught my attention how did she not go noticed by us "how did you managed to keep off my kind grid we were to protect those with silvereyes?" I asked her.
"simple I saw you coming for me when I was young my parents managed to hide me then once you left our house they then managed to disguise my eye colours so you wouldn't see them" she said to me.
"I am sorry!" I said in sadness to her.
"what for?" I hear her asking me.
"for not protecting you or the others my kind had a lot of problems going on by that point I wish we had tried harder" I looked out to the forest seeing the trees going by.
...
We had finally arrived in the city Yang locked up her bike while we all meet back up with the others we talked about what had happened and while taking a ride through the city until we came to place where we saw a young woman with a small infant waving to us all and bringing us into her home I and my friends were watching Yang and Weiss playing with the baby which made me smile at it but also to think on something else about my and my two lovers future together "you know have you thought about children with your two lovers" I heard Pyrrha voice as I looked to her.
"I have but I don't know if I have what it take to be a father nor give them a life they deserve!" I said in a happy but sad way.
"well you don't know until your in that situation your self but looking at Yang here with that little one must mean she want one at some point in her life" I felt her hand on my shoulder.
"I know but it not just that my childhood was different I was brought up to fight the moment I could walk my mother and father only interact in our life when we weren't training or on mission I never had a life like them were I went to the park for a picnic nor go to cinema with them" I then faced her "I am scared on the part about being a dad will I be like my parents only interact like they did or will I be there for my children will I be a good role model for them" I sigh looking over the scene.
"well I am not sure myself but you won't know as I said sometimes life puts us in situation that we never thought we be in" she said to me making me think better on this now.
...
A while later Jaune introduced us to his sister wife as she asked about the students going with a professional Huntsman then she noticed me and my friends "and what about them I know they don't look like huntsman".
As we looked at each other shrugging "we are... um... how to put it..!" I tried to think on this since Athena wasn't helping only she was laughing at this "private security" I said to her seeing her looking at us like really that the best you got.
"well I guess that still a good job" she said before going off somewhere.
Ruby then went to say about our next move when they mentioned that they tried the military for help as we all were out side seeing it gates shutting us out "I say we go in guns blazing a huge explosion while stealing the ship!" Samantha shouted out enthusiastically while I face plant myself shaking my head.
"you know not everything need to be resolved by violence" Amanda said to her as they both argued about what was better.
A few min later we stay back seeing Ruby and the other talking to two weird men who then went to get someone as I saw the person I tilted my head to the side "I thought she.. might have been a little... taller!" I said curiously to my friends as we went back to seeing Ruby talking to her.
As we watch them all talking only to fail "so do we now get to go in guns blazing?" I shaken my head to Samantha while walking up to Blake giving her a hug to cheer her up.
"hay don't listen to her" I said holding her hand as she placed her head on my shoulder just then I saw Qrow leaving for a drink while we were trying to think on how to tell them what actually happened to Ozpin.
...
We all made it back to Jaune sister house when I saw him cracking a wall "well guess he has some strength in him" I said to myself seeing him grabbing Oscar as I and my three friends pulled our weapons out to him "easy there Jaune think about what your doing" I said to him as I saw the anger in his eyes.
"why should I listen to you, you and your kind knew all along and you never even told us about her or all this" I heard him saying to me.
Looking him in the eye "yes I knew but I couldn't tell you or I would've have been killed by my goddess" I said to him while still holding my weapon to him just then we heard both Ruby and Pyrrha shouting out to him making us face them one held and angry look while Pyrrha held a worried look just then we all saw him calming down letting Oscar go as we slowly let our weapons down watching him and the rest of his team go.
While everyone felt it was best to be alone the now as I nodded in agreement sitting next to Yang and Blake on the couch as we snuggled up together "do you think they be okay?" I asked them both.
"don't know but I hope they will be!" Yang said worried to me "I suppose we should go and get something for dinner tonight then" I hear her saying while getting up as we thought so as well getting up our self then heading out to the shop.
...
A few hours went by as me, Yang and Blake came back from shopping only we didn't see Oscar anywhere "mmmhhh where is he?" I said we went to check the house only to find nothing we thought it was best to split into group to find him.
...
Three hours into the search and nothing I was walking with my three friends when Amanda started talking "so now I know we have been over this but look at them their falling apart I still think it wrong to leave them but I also say we should" she said making me shake me head in an annoying way.
"no we promise to help them" I heard Samantha saying to her.
"well promises get broken all the time!" she said in a cold tone.
"how could you say that when we made a pack we made it so no promise would be broken tell me why are you adamant on leaving them at Atlas!" we saw Samantha shouting to her.
I saw Amanda looking down "because I don't want Weiss to get hurt like her father did to her I don't want to see her get killed because of us bringing the Grimms to them okay that why!" she shouted back at her.
"and even when Salem deal with us she will go after them so it best to stick together better in number" we heard Jack saying to us all.
"we understands but still we can't go back now" I said to her getting in the middle of them when I felt my scroll going off "found Oscar back at the house" I said to them reading the text as we began to make our way back to the house.
...
We made it back to the house when everyone filled us in on what they had planned and I must admit it was a stupid plan but sometimes stupid plans work out better so we all knew our roles for tomorrow and we thought it would be best to get an early sleep.
...
The next morning after we managed to get that old lady into a suitcase a d we all went to the meeting point waiting for Weiss signal to fall off the radar "you know I hate the waiting part!" Samantha said board.
"sometime it's best this way as the saying goes calm before the storm" we heard Jack saying to us as we watch the group talking over the next stage of their plan.
...
Minutes went by when I noticed something was wrong with the group "seems something isn't going to plan" I said watching them all talking to each other.
"YES time for action!" I heard Samantha screaming out Loudly and excitedly about this.
Just then we saw a huge mech coming out of the mountain I couldn't believe the size of it "oh it a beautiful machine!" I heard Jack saying admiring the thing.
"yer well she going crazy with power" I said to him fling my arms up in the air as we then watch it making it way to us.
It fired a rocket to the plane only to be shot by Ruby bullet then it aimed for us all as I placed a hand on the ground making a shield up while Weiss used her ice which helped to keep us all safe "well nice timing James" Amanda said to me.
I faced her while bring my bow and arrow up "hay at least it work" I said smile to her as faced the huge thing ready for a fight we heard Jaune mentioned about us all being a smaller target.
"cool we all become a target and die" Samantha said smiling to him as we braced ourselves for a run as soon as Ruby said now we all ran for our life while getting it attention "over here you great big metal head fresh target to hit" I looked to Samantha as she shouted out to it.
"please don't try to piss her off more" I said dodging one of her rockets by jumping over it as it pass under me.
We stopped seeing it had shield which made me think twice about my weapon of choice "okay now what?" I asked then hearing about getting up close to this thing.
"they really are trying to kill us!" Amanda said to us as we looked at the thing seeing it falling to the ground as Jaune and Pyrrha went for it arms just then we saw the huge mech shield being taken down.
"Jack any explosive round?" I asked him seeing shaking his head as we then watch the plane firing it missile at it only to have it caught then to be thrown back at them "well this isn't good!" I said worried watching the plane falling to the ground.
After trying to think on what we can do I then heard Ruby thought of a plan which seems good but I am optimistic about it seeing Ruby going off heading to the thing "is it a bad time to say I have a bad feeling about this?" Amanda said to us as we look at her with shock faces "what I am just saying" she said as we all went back to watching the outcome of this.
Just then we saw her placing her missile away and using her cannon "okay that not good" Samantha shouted while we saw the plane crashing into the ground us three rushed off to the site seeing Ruby coming out.
"Ruby are you okay?" I asked holding her up as we saw that thing coming to us I then saw her face she had that look of determination seeing what she was thinking I thought it was best not to stop her "Jack check the plane" I said to him seeing getting on the thing while I went to the old lady "are you okay?" I asked her.
"I be fine" I heard her saying to me which brought a smile to me just then we heard Ruby talking to her then using her speed to get into the cannon fire a single shot making it to explode in a huge dust reaction which brought it down due to the weight of it "fixed it!" we heard Jack shouting to us.
But before anything could happen we heard that the city is under attack from the Grimms "well look like she sent the big buns to us" Samantha said to us in a quiet tone.
"yeup but what to do now with their mech out of commission" I heard Jack saying to us as I looked to Ruby seeing what she thinking now as we heard Yang and Blake running to us.
...
We all were climbing into the plan when I felt something looking around I saw my brother standing there everyone saw him standing there with a robot arm "well running again!" I heard him saying to me.
"no!" I said to him facing him.
"no James let al.." I stopped Yang right there.
"I am sorry go get that thing to Atlas I meet you there" I said seeing her with tears as we held our hand together hugging as I then felt Blake coming into the hug "I promise I meet you both there" I said walking away seeing my three friends climbing back out as well as we watch the plan leaving.
"you better!" she said as I closed the door then seeing it leaving.
"well now that they are not here I can finally kill you all" we heard him saying.
"I sorry brother but you are the one who will fall here" I said bringing my sword out along with the others.
