Viridian walked through the old warehouse. "Geoff?" He asked. "Geoff, where are ye lad?"
A bright light shone down on him.
"I'm right here Viridian. Thanks for coming. I have something to show you."
Geoff and Viridian walked to the edge of a platform looking down at something.
"Look." Geoff said pointing down.
Viridian looked down. "What is tha'?" He asked astounded by what he saw down there.
"That my friend... Is Beacon."
The two walked down towards the ship.
"This is massive!" Viridian said.
"Yeah. I was looking through some old boxes when I found this." He said handing Viridian a journal.
Viridian was looking through the journal, practically drooling at the contents. "Do ye realize what this means lad?"
"Ironwood can't find out about this. He'd try and mass produce it, and who knows where that could lead."
"Agreed. What do ye want ta do?"
"Could ye work on it? Yer the only other person I trust completely wit this."
"Aye. I can do tha' lad. What are ye going ta do?"
"I'm going somewhere I'd rather not."
Geoff walked into the building and immediately wanted to puke.
This felt wrong.
"Ah. Welcome sir." A sleezy man said walking up to him. "May I interest you in something. Perhaps..."
"Would it be possible ta get a tour o' th' place?"
"Of course. If you will leave your Weapon at the front desk."
Geoff left the 'Junker's Toolkit' at the front desk but made sure the Gravity Dust was active in case he needed it.
The man led Geoff around.
"As you can see." The man said. "This establishment has a wide variety of services. Our product is used to a wide variety of techniques to allow our customers the most extraordinary array of pleasure possible."
He showed Geoff some of the rooms.
Geoff was enraged at what he saw, but his rage was quelled by his need to puke.
"Now then. Since this is your first time here, I could prepare a room with one of our better trained Faunus."
Geoff felt like he wanted to throttle the man while simultaneously puke. "Thank ye."
The man led Geoff to a door and opened it.
Geoff felt like he'd been doused in ice water.
There, strapped to a table, was a rabbit Faunus who couldn't be older than Velvet.
"Please." The girl begged. "No more. I can't take any more."
"Then I'm afraid that you won't get the evening meal or bath." The man said.
Geoff wanted to call the 'Junkers Toolkit' to him right now, and rip the man to shreds, but he couldn't right now. He needed to help her.
Geoff walked in and the man left, closing the door behind him.
Geoff pressed a button on his Scroll and gagged. "Bloody hell!" He gasped. "Miss. Are ye okay?"
"Who are you?" The rabbit Faunus asked.
"I'm someone who wants to help. I'm not like the others that visit this place. This place disgusts me."
"What are you going to do to me?" She asked pulling a hand away from the table with a clink of metal.
Geoff walked over to the table and pulled the cloth that was covering her off.
He froze, both out of embarrassment and horror, when he saw her naked body.
The girl was scarred, and bruised.
"What the hell." He said in horrified rage.
"They are watching." she said. "They record every session and sell the recordings. It's one of the curses of surviving this long."
Geoff felt bile rise in his throat but swallowed stopping the ascent. "I'm going to get you out of here. It might take a while, but I'm not leaving you here."
"Is this how you get off?" The Faunus girl asked. "Offer salvation, and watch me descend into madness? "
"No. I really want to help you."
"I'll believe it when I'm not strapped to a table."
That gave Geoff an idea, an impulsive and reckless idea, but an idea none the less.
He tapped his scroll before walking to the door and pressing a button.
The same sleezy man came in a few moments later. "I hope that your first experience here was enjoyable?"
"Yes." Geoff said with a forced smile. "So much so that I wish ta buy her."
The man looked at Geoff in a mix of greed and distrust. "No one has ever offered to buy one of our products before."
"So, do we have a deal?" Geoff asked.
"Does 30,000 Lien sound like a good deal?"
"That sounds fair." Geoff said. "Let me just get th' funds ready fer transfer."
"Very well sir."
Geoff made sure that the virus he'd put into the computer was active and recording. "I have th' funds right here."
"Let's go sign the paperwork then." The man said leading Geoff to his office.
Geoff signed the paperwork and was waiting for ten minutes before the rabbit Faunus was brought out wearing a slave's dress.
"I hope you enjoy her." The man said. "Before I forget..." He tossed Geoff a remote. "...this is the remote that controls her shock necklace. Use it in good taste."
"I will." Geoff said walking out with the girl.
"Let's go." Geoff said walking through Mantle towards the clinic.
When they got to the clinic, he took her to the infirmary before running to the bathroom and puking until he was dry heaving.
"You'll have to forgive Master Geoffrey." Cliff said walking into the infirmary. "He has a rather weak stomach."
The girl closed in on herself. "Wh-who are you?"
"I am Clifford Horizon. Butler to the Todd family, and former Master Grimm Hunter. I am pleased to make your acquaintance miss..."
"I... I don't have a name." The girl said shyly.
Cliff took in a deep breath and held it for ten seconds before releasing it. "Right. We'll have to give you a name, but first..."
Cliff put two fingers to the girl's forehead.
"For it is in passing that we achieve immortality. Through this we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all, infinite in distance and unbound by death. I release your soul and by my shoulder protect thee."
The girl began glowing gold.
"Wh-what's happening to me?" The girl asked, astonished. "I feel so warm."
"Your Aura has been activated miss." Cliff said. "Your body should begin healing soon. While its doing that, I shall busy myself with getting you some appropriate attire. If you would just lie down, and let your Aura do the rest."
"Okay." The girl squeaked out.
She laid her head down on the pillow and was enveloped in the warmth of her Aura.
She would sleep good tonight.
Cliff walked over to Geoff, who was still dry heaving. "Master Geoffrey. Would you like to talk about it?"
Geoff coughed before he stood up, flushed the toilet, and went to the sink to rinse his mouth out.
"That place was disgusting. I wanted ta level it ta th' ground."
"And why didn't you?"
"I'm too weak ta do what needs ta be done."
"That's not the way I see it. I see someone who values all life. From the most innocent of children to the most heinous of monsters. Taking a life would be a greater stain on your soul than letting evil happen. You aren't like Master Jason or Mistress Loki who kill without a second thought because they were forced into a mindset of kill or be killed. Neither are you like Mistress Coral who, from a young age, was taught that her emotions were her guide, and to follow them. You had good loving parents who taught you the value of human life, and that it is better to run than it is to fight."
"I'm going ta tear tha' place down, but first I need ta get all those girls out o' there."
"How do you plan to do that?"
"Like this." Geoff said sitting at the computer in the office. He plugged his scroll into the computer and hacked into the cameras.
He set up the computer to view four cameras at once.
As soon as he hacked in, he ran back to the bathroom and started puking again.
Cliff looked at the screen filled with a primal rage.
He clenched his hands into fists and let his Dual Aura surround him.
When Geoff came back, he noticed that Cliff was gone.
"Cliff? Cliff? Where are you?"
"Hello sir." The sleezy man from the Brothel said. "How may I..."
He was cut off as Cliff landed a kick in his stomach.
"My name is Clifford Horizon. Butler to the Todd family, and former Master Grimm Hunter. I keep the manor tidy, take out the trash and take care of filth like you."
"What are you talking about? This is just business." The man gasped."
"No, it's not, you self-entitled little twat! Selling Weapons and Dust is Business! Selling! Children! IS! NOT!"
The man pissed himself as Cliff pulled twin silver stakes from the sheaths on his thighs and held them in a reverse grip.
"Now. Release the Faunus being held here, or I will kill you and do it myself!"
"I can't. I'd be ruined!"
"Is your status more important than your life?!"
"I... I can't!"
Geoff looked away when Cliff killed the man without a second thought.
"Now?" Cliff asked. "Who wants daddy's belt?"
Cliff moved through the Brothel killing anyone who was there to take advantage of the Faunus prisoners.
"Like shooting fish in a barrel." Cliff said in a cold apathetic tone. "Now go to your room and think about what you've done."
Geoff was horrified that Cliff was capable of this level of violence. 'This brings so many questions to mind. Like why he didn't use this to save Jason, or why he didn't use this against Cinder, or during the Fall.'
Cliff walked into every room in the brothel and freed all of the Faunus.
He went to a room and found the same slave dresses that the Rabbit Girl was given to wear.
He handed them out as he walked to the final room.
Geoff watched in horror as he saw what was in the final room. "It's a nursery!" He yelped before running for the bathroom again.
Viridian walked into the clinic to try and find Geoff. "Are ye here lad?" He called out.
He saw a golden light coming from the infirmary and went to investigate.
He found a Rabbit Faunus with a content smile on her face.
He walked to the office and saw the computer on. He walked over and stared in horror as Cliff was handing babies to Faunus in slave dresses. "What the fu..."
He was cut off as Geoff came back in looking sick.
"Lad! Wha's wrong?"
"Brothel." He moaned." Need ta destroy th' brothel."
"I'll go help Cliff."
"Take them ta Beacon! Its th' only safe place I know."
"Right lad."
Viridian left the clinic and ran towards Cliff.
He took 'Boom N Doom' from his back and began accumulating Gravity Dusk at the top of the Blacksmith hammer. 'This is fer all that have suffered.' He thought.
When he arrived, he looked around and saw Cliff standing out back with the Faunus.
"Move ta th' outskirts o' town." He called to them.
Cliff led the Faunus to the outskirts of town like Viridian said.
"Now." Viridian growled out. "This one goes out ta everyone hurt by this vile place."
Viridian jumped in the air and swung "Boom N Doom" towards the Brothel caving it in and cratering the land it stood on sending cracks out in all directions.
When he landed, he took off after the group.
"Follow me." He said leading the group to the outskirts of Mantel.
He led them to a warehouse in the middle of nowhere and ushered them inside before closing and locking the door.
"This way." He said running down three flights of stairs and towards a scaffolding.
He pushed a button and the Scaffolding opened up revealing a ramp leading up.
"Get onboard." He spoke.
They ran up the ramp and into an enormous ship.
"What is this?" A Faunus asked.
"Where are we?" Another asked.
"Are we safe?"
"What's going to happen to us?"
"If you will all quiet down." Cliff said. "We will explain everything."
The next Day Viridian was walking the halls of Atlas Academy looking for Geoff.
"Geoff." Viridian called out. "Geoff. Where are ye lad?"
"Right here." Geoff said from behind Viridian.
"Blast ye lad." Viridian said turning around in shock. "What're 'ya tryin' ta do give me a heart attack?"
"No but come on. I've got somethin' at show ya."
Viridian followed Geoff to his workshop where there were three boxes.
"What's in th' boxes lad?"
"Take a look."
Viridian looked inside The first box and saw a metallic looking cape. "I don't get it lad."
"It's a cape for José, but it has a special feature." He said holding it up before touching the inside and the cape went rigid, creating a three foot by five-foot barricade.
"That's amazing." Viridian said. "How were ye able ta do tha'?"
"Simple. I took metal and fused lightning Dust into it before smelting it. Then I made very thin sheets out of it before pressing them together with gravity Dust and made a very thin sheet, and now whenever ye run yer hand along the inside and statically charge it, it activates becoming as thick as it actually is, and becomes rigid."
"Yer a genius lad."
"Thank ye."
Viridian looked in the second box and found a pair of Boots and gloves. "Scott?"
"Yeah. The boots accumulate potential energy until he needs ta unleash it and can use it ta dash, jump, or even change direction. Th' possibilities are potentially limitless."
"What about th' gloves lad?"
"They use gravity Dust ta push and pull, but it has a range of six feet, and tha's pushin' it."
"Are ye going ta try enhancing th' reach?"
"Maybe. I'll have ta give 'em ta Scott first. Then make adjustments."
"What next lad?"
Geoff showed Viridian the third box revealing a Bodysuit.
"Wha's this?"
"It's a Quicksilver glider. When put on it will form fit itself ta the wearers body, and only that person can wear it. While wearing it Gale will be able ta glide with it when activated. I made a video ta explain it better." He said showing Viridian his scroll in tablet mode.
Viridian watched as the figure put it on and it shrunk to fit the figures body. The figure then jumped off a building and the quicksilver flowed in between the figure's arms and legs, and in between the figure's legs making a glider.
"Pretty impressive lad." Viridian said. "But how will th' wearer take it off?"
"Wit th' zipper of course.
"Geoff." Ironwood said coming in. "Are those the new prototypes you made for me?"
"No. They are fer my Teammates."
"Geoff." Ironwood said in a commanding tone. "Need I remind you that on my time anything you make belongs to Atlas?"
"I made 'em on my time." Geoff countered.
"They are on Atlas Academy property which means they are property of Atlas Academy."
"Fine. I'll send ye the blueprints."
"Thank you." Ironwood said leaving. "I expect those prototypes I requested tomorrow at the latest."
"He can' do tha' lad." Viridian said.
"Technically he can." Geoff grumbled. "When he repaired my spine and ribs, I essentially signed a two-year contract wit him."
"Like hell ya did. From what Pietro told me the cybernetics used in yer ribs and spine were shoddy at best and complete horseshit at worst."
"Then what would ye have me do?"
"He did a piss poor job on yer Prosthetics so ye should give him piss poor Projects for him. Do yer best work on Beacon II."
"Okay. Take these back ta Beacon then."
"Okay, but didn' ye make somethin' fer yerself?"
"Aye. Tha' I did." Geoff said pulling a hood over his head.
Viridian looked into a horrifying face.
Geoff's mask was a gas mask with twin bulbous eyes, an air filter to the side, and what could be an air filter where the mouth should be. "Gods above." He said in horrified awe.
"What?" Geoff asked through the voice modulator on the front of the mask over the mouth. "What's wrong?"
"Ye look terrifying in that mask."
"Really? I wasn't going fer a terrifying look, but I guess it has its uses."
"I'll say."
Geoff took the helmet off. "How are the Faunus?" He whispered.
"They are doing as well as they can. Cliff and I spent our Aura unlocking theirs, and they all fell asleep. Though they need sustenance for themselves so they can nurse th' Babies. I'll be working on Beacon and seein' if they will be able to help. Also. That Rabbit Faunus ye saved last night has been asking fer Master Geoffrey. Anythin' ye want ta tell me?"
Geoff felt like he was going to be sick. "I'll go talk ta her on my lunch break. I'm not her master. She's free ta do whatever she wants."
"Okay lad. Just makin' sure ye weren't becoming one of those people ye hate. Jason would knock yer block off and kick it inta th' mountain."
Geoff held his neck and gulped.
Viridian left the room and headed for Beacon II.
Geoff walked to the Clinic at lunch.
He walked to the infirmary and saw the Rabbit Faunus he'd saved the night before.
She was sleeping peacefully.
"Hey." He spoke.
She bolted upright, and nearly fell over the edge of the bed.
Geoff caught her hand and pulled her upright. "Whoa, whoa." He spoke. "Don't worry. Yer safe."
"Oh. Master Geoffrey. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to..."
"Ye don't need ta apologize."
"Oh. Thank you, Master Geoffrey.
"Please don't call me Master. Geoff will do just fine."
"But you are my Master. As long as you hold the remote to this." She said pointing at the shock necklace.
Geoff reached into his pocket and went to throw it.
"DON'T!" She yelled.
"What! Why not?"
"If you destroy the remote or try and tamper with the necklace..." She mimicked an explosion with her hands.
"Ye have got ta be kiddin' me!" Geoff yelled.
"No. I've seen them used on other Faunus."
Geoff looked at the Remote in horror.
"They also have a feature where if the remote is not activated at least once a day it will deliver a shock."
Geoff wanted to puke and dropped the remote. "Why would anyone do tha'?"
"I don't know, and I don't make the rules." She spoke.
Geoff looked at the Faunus girl.
"So, what would you have me do Master Geoffrey?" The girl asked.
"I guess I better learn yer name." Geoff said.
"I don't have one. It is the master's job to name me."
"I'm not yer Master. Just call me Geoff."
"I cannot. So long as you hold the remote you are my Master, and I must show Master the proper respect or Master will have no choice but to punish me."
Geoff put the remote away.
He didn't notice the girl's frown.
"What ta name ye. What ta name ye. What color is yer Aura?"
"Gold, Master Geoffrey."
"How about Victoria? Awena Victoria?"
"What does it mean Master Geoffrey?"
"Well. Awena means Seer, and Victoria means Victory."
"Thank you for my name Master Geoffrey."
"If I order ye not ta call me Master, do ye have ta obey?"
"I suppose if you ordered me, but it is a slave's responsibility to serve their Masters, and not calling you Master would be a grievous sin, and you would have to punish me."
Geoff wanted to punch himself in the nuts for saying this and wished that Jason were here to straighten this out, but since he wasn't, he would have to cope... somehow.
"I'm going ta teach ye how ta do what I do. Get ye some equipment while I'm at it, and a weapon."
"Oh. Thank you, Master Geoffrey!" She yelled glomping him.
Geoff pushed her off of him and walked towards the clothing in the Clinic. "Come pick out an outfit."
"But Master Geoffrey. You are the Master, so you are supposed to pick out what I wear, Where I wear it, when I wear it, Why I wear it, how much or how little I wear."
Geoff blushed. "What do ye want ta wear?"
"What do you want me to wear Master Geoffrey?"
Geoff facepalmed, and found a pair of jeans, a long-sleeved button up shirt, work boots, and some leather armor from the armory.
"Thank you, Master Geoffrey."
"Ye'll be working with me as my assistant, that way I can protect ye. Ye'll have ta work hard and follow me around."
"Okay Master Geoffrey."
Geoff made his way back to Atlas and told Ironwood the situation.
"I see." Ironwood said. "So, you went to the Brothel after attacking my men and bought a slave girl."
"No! I went there to gather intel on them so I could shut them down, and I ended up buying this girl hoping I could free her, but now she won't stop calling me Master."
"What would you like me to do about it mister Patrick?"
"Is there some way I can get her to stop?"
"Not that I know of. Use her as an assistant. Maybe you will get me my prototypes if you have help." Ironwood said leaving.
Geoff facepalmed. "Let's go Awena."
"Okay Master Geoffrey."
He led her to the office he was using and got to work on the prototypes that Ironwood wanted.
While he was at it, he had Awena look though some weapon designs for one that she liked.
He had finished the first Prototype when Awena showed him the weapon she wanted.
"Ye want this one?" He asked.
"Uh huh." She said nodding her head.
Geoff put the blueprint in his bag and started working on the other Prototypes.
By the end of his shift, he had made three of the four prototypes, and put them on Ironwood's desk.
"Thank you, Geoff." Ironwood said. "As for the matter of her." He pointed at Awena. "I have told the men that you have taken on a Faunus assistant to take a stand against the discrimination, and that she should be treated as any other person here."
"Thank ye General. I'll get the fourth prototype to you tomorrow."
"As well as the blueprints of that equipment from this morning."
"Yes sir." Geoff growled low in his throat.
"You're excused."
Geoff and Awena walked to the warehouse and walked down to Beacon II.
"How's it coming?" He asked.
"All of the Faunus have food and suitable clothing, and there is enough space here that they can live here comfortably." Cliff said. "They are safe from the elements, and Grimm, and Viridian is teaching them how to repair the ship to stave off boredom. It is not the best option, but better than what it was."
"I'm glad." Geoff shuddered at the thought of the Brothel.
"Hello there miss." Cliff said to Awena.
"Hello." Awena said back.
"I see that Master Geoffrey has gotten you a new ensemble."
"Yes. Master Geoffrey is very kind."
Cliff raised an eyebrow at Geoff.
"I didn't tell her to call me Master Geoffrey."
"Yes. Master Geoffrey has asked me to call him Geoff, but as his slave I cannot. It is a slave's responsibility to serve their Masters, and not calling him Master would be a grievous sin, and he would have to punish me." She said nodding her head.
Geoff wanted to disappear.
Cliff looked from Geoff to Awena.
"I see. Master Geoffrey. Might we talk?"
"Thank ye." Geoff said.
Geoff and Cliff walked away.
"Please tell me that ye know how ta make her stop." Geoff begged.
"I do not. Mainly because she has become attached to you as her pillar, her rock. She needs you to be strong for her. Yesterday she was living in filth, being violated in the most delicate places of her body, and today..." Cliff snapped his fingers. "...none of that. She is coping with such a drastic change as best she can. She needs you to be the person she can depend upon."
"Ye make it sound like a bad thing."
"Think of it like a junkie lowering the number of drugs they use to stop using drugs. Eventually she will realize that she is her own person."
"Fine." Geoff sighed in defeat.
"Why don't you treat her like your woman servant?"
"Because I don't want a woman servant. I only have eyes for Velvet, and I don't want ta screw it up by walking around with a Rabbit Faunus Slave, servant, or anything else."
"I'm sorry. There is not much else I can offer you."
"I'll just have ta hope that she stops before Velvet sees her."
"Quite."
"Come on Awena." Geoff said.
"Coming Master Geoffrey."
Geoff and Awena headed back to the manor.
On their way they saw a five-man squad looking around the Brothels remains.
"What happened?" Geoff asked.
"Stay away." A cranky looking woman said.
"Harriet!" A taller man scolded.
"I was just askin'." Geoff scoffed at the woman like Gale had taught him. "If'n ye didn't want ta tell me all ye had ta do was say so." He turned around with the flair that Jose had taught him. Angled himself at an eighty-degree angle and stalked away like Scott had taught him.
'Three... two... one.' He thought.
"Wait!" The man called out to him.
He turned around to look at the guy.
"Hey." The guy said. "Harriet didn't mean that."
Geoff looked at Harriet who was scowling at him.
"Oh yeah. She totally looks like she didn' mean tha'."
"We are investigating the Brothel that was down here. Do you know anything about it?"
"Good riddance." Geoff said. "That place was filthy. Do ye know what they did ta Faunus in there?"
"Do you?"
"Yeah. I went in there to try and find evidence to get it shut down, and I nearly lost the contents of my stomach."
"Still a virgin!" Harriet yelled at him. "Or just too afraid to use their services?"
Geoff wanted to grab the 'Junkers Toolkit', but he couldn't risk it.
"HARRIET!" The man yelled.
"What?!" Harriet yelled back. "You either use the Brothels services or you don't! It wasn't all bad."
Geoff was shaking in a rage that would probably make Scott proud. "So ye used th' Faunus in tha' Brothel!" He yelled.
"Yeah. We all have our jobs on Remnant. Their job is to please us."
Geoff lost it and threw the 'Junkers Toolkit' at Harriet.
Harriet smirked and ran out of the way before running at Geoff and put him in a chokehold.
Geoff activated his Semblance, blasting himself and Harriet backwards smashing her into a wall.
She let go and gasped for air as her aura shattered.
Geoff called the 'Junkers Toolkit' to his hand and raised it over Harriet. "Congratulations, lass! Ye just did th' one thing no one has been able ta accomplish since I got here, and that's piss me off!"
"STAY!" A voice yelled.
Geoff froze, and couldn't move.
"MASTER GEOFFREY!" Awena yelled before there was a flash of light.
Geoff woke up in the Clinic.
"Where am I?" He asked.
"I'm so sorry Master Geoffrey." Awena sobbed before planting her palms on the floor and bowed. "Please forgive me Master."
"Fergive ye. What fer?"
"I ruined the outfit you gave me." She sobbed.
Geoff put his hand softly on her shoulders to raise her up.
He didn't see anything on her shirt.
"Stand up." He spoke.
She stood up with a squelch.
Geoff looked her over and saw that her pants were soaked. "Why didn' ye change yet!" He demanded.
"I must get my master's permission to change if I have made a mess of the clothes, he gave me."
"Bathroom. Now." Geoff said sternly.
Awena ran to the bathroom in the clinic like her life depended on it.
Geoff went to the storeroom where they had the clothing and found an outfit, a pair of pajamas, soap, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, a towel, a toothbrush, and toothpaste.
He walked to the bathroom and knocked. "Come get these." He spoke.
She opened the door and took the clothes.
"Now take a bath, get cleaned up, and come back and meet me."
"Should I take my clothes off?"
"Isn't that how ye take a bath?"
"Only of Master wishes it Master Geoffrey."
"Gods in th' heavens give me strength." Geoff said. "Yes. Ye take yer clothes off when ye take a bath or a shower. Do I need ta explain everything ta ya?"
"Please don't get angry Master." Awena said with tears in her eyes.
Geoff went beet red. "Oh come on!" He yelled. "Please don't cry. I... I didn't mean ta yell at ye. I'm just... not sure how ta handle this right now. Please just stop crying and get cleaned up."
Awena went into the bathroom and closed the door.
Geoff walked into the office and called Viridian and Cliff.
"This is Viridian." Viridian said.
"Hello Master Geoffrey." Cliff said.
Geoff let out a sigh that sounded way too old for someone his age.
"What's wrong lad?"
"I was on my way home when I saw a five-man team looking at the destroyed Brothel."
"And?"
"And one of them was mad that it was destroyed. She said some stuff and I lost my temper."
"Ye? Ye lost yer temper!"
"Yeah. She said th' Faunus job in tha' Brothel was ta please us, and I lost it."
"Where is she? I'ma break her skull."
"What did you do Master Geoffrey?"
"I lost control. I used my Semblance and everythin'."
"And how did it make you feel?"
"Ye used yer Semblance!"
"I hated it. Tha' feeling of fire flooding through my veins. Th' fog clouding my judgement. Th' red rage. It made me feel... I don't know."
"Dirty?" Cliff suggested.
"Yeah. I don't see how Scott and Jason can thrive in tha' situation."
The phone got quiet.
"Don't worry lad. Ye just need sleep. Get some, and ye'll feel better tomorrow."
"Maybe yer right."
"Good night lad."
"Good night." Geoff said before hanging up.
Geoff walked out of the office to see Awena standing outside the door in the pajamas he'd given her.
"Master?" She asked.
"Yeah?"
"Would you like me to clean up the mess I made?"
"What mess?"
Awena pointed at the floor where a puddle had formed while she was waiting for him to wake up.
"Yeah. Let's take care of that?"
"How would you like me to clean it up?"
Geoff really didn't like where this was going. "What do ye mean?"
"In the past I have had to clean up my messes by mop it with my hair, use my clothes, or consumption."
Geoff ran to the bathroom and puked.
When he was done, he rinsed his mouth out and walked back to her. "Who in th' blood soaked Atlesian hell made ye do tha'?" He asked. "Tha's disgusting, and unsanitary. No. Don't do any of tha' I'll grab two mops and a bucket."
"But. I need to be puni..."
Geoff put a hand over her mouth. "Never. Ever. Say that again. I will never punish ye. Ye are yer own person and can make yer own decisions without the fear of being punished. Punishment is not something ye should expect. If ye did something wrong, tell me, and I'll do everything in my power ta help make it right, but I will never punish ye. Do ye understand?"
"Yes, Master Geoffrey." She said looking disappointed.
"What's wrong?" Geoff asked. "I thought ye'd be happy fer tha'."
"I like pain Master Geoffrey!"
"What?" Geoff asked.
Awena blushed. "I've been dropping hints all day. I like pain, but I don't like being hurt."
Geoff looked confused. "I don't understand. How can ye like pain, but not getting hurt?"
"I like a certain amount of pain. Once it goes over that level, I don't like it anymore."
"I still don't understand."
"I like being slapped, but not hard enough to leave marks. I liked having certain things done to me when I was in that place, but the day you bought me they had gone too far, and I couldn't handle anymore. I like being shocked, but not with a lot of power..." She pointed at the shock necklace. "...I like being shocked for five seconds with this. Anymore and it hurts. I like fighting because the hits and kicks feel good to a certain point..."
Geoff listened in growing horror. 'How could she like this stuff?' He thought.
"Master Geoffrey?" Awena asked. "Are you still listening?"
"Yeah, but why do you like this?"
"Because. It feels good."
Geoff didn't know what to do.
He walked to the broom closet and pulled out a mop and a bucket.
He put the cleaning agent in the bucket and filled it with water before he washed the floor.
When he was done, he sat down. "How did we escape those guys?" He asked.
"Oh. When I saw you getting hurt, I panicked, and I felt all of the pain I've felt over the past thirteen years. I became intoxicated with the pain, and that's when I made a mess. My Aura activated, and I became super strong and fast. I knocked everyone away, grabbed you and ran back here."
"What do ye mean that ye became intoxicated by th' pain?"
"I felt the pain hit, and I blacked out in sheer bliss. When I came back into focus my pants were wet, and I felt stronger, faster, and braver. I took the others out and grabbed you before coming back here."
"Ye got so excited ye wet yer pants?" Geoff asked before he knew what he did.
"That mean girl was right." Awena said. "You are a virgin."
"I um... I uh... I don't believe in sex before marriage that's all."
"I could be your first Master Geoffrey... If you told me to."
Geoff went white as a sheet. "No! Absolutely not! We are not doing anything like tha'! Besides. I already have someone."
"Oh. I see. You find me hideous and disgusting."
"What! No! I didn't say tha'!"
"Master Geoffrey."
"What!"
"You're cute when you're flustered."
Geoff went beet red.
"To answer your question though. Yes. I got so turned on that I wet my pants, but not with pee."
Geoff was very confused by this but didn't want to ask.
"You didn't know that men and women produce more than one bodily fluid from down there?" She asked walking towards him silkily.
"I did." Geoff said backing away and looking anywhere but at her. "We learned about it in health class."
"Silly boy. Don't you know that experience is the best teacher?"
Geoff was backed into a wall, and his nose burst with blood before passing out.
Awena laughed at him. "Oh, Master Geoffrey." She laughed.
She picked him up and laid him on the bed before laying on the floor next to him.
The next morning Geoff woke up.
He looked around and saw he was at the clinic.
He jumped out of bed, stepped on something both soft and hard before falling to the floor.
"Ooh." Awena moaned before she looked up. "Master Geoffrey. You stepped on me. I'm flattered."
Geoff slid into the wall. "N-not intentionally."
"Is there anything else you want to do to me?"
"S-s-stop!" Geoff said.
Awena sat on her knees and pouted.
Geoff looked at her and shook his head. "Grab yer stuff. We'll go ta the Manor and get changed. I'll start working on yer weapon, and gear."
"Thank you, Master Geoffrey."
They made their way back to the Manor.
"You live here?" Awena asked.
"Yes. We live here. Hey Tyra!" Geoff yelled.
"Yes Geoffrey?" She asked.
"This is Awena. Awena Victoria. She is my assistant. Will ye please find her a room, get her a bath, and bring her ta th' Armory."
"Of course, Geoffrey, but isn't there something you're forgetting to tell me?"
"Yes." Geoff sighed. "I fergot that yer Semblance is Veracity."
"Yes. I know you are hiding something."
"She has kind of imprinted on me and won't stop calling me Master. Also, her Semblance activated."
"Ooh. What is it?"
"She hasn't named it yet."
"Ooh. Then I will help her name it while she bathes and gets dressed."
"Okay. I'm going ta get started on her Weapon."
"Okay. Girl talk now." Tyra said pushing Awena up the stairs to one of the spare bedrooms.
Geoff walked to the armory and opened the blueprint.
The next day.
Geoff and Awena walked into Atlas Academy.
They rounded the corner and saw the same five-man team from the other night.
Geoff and Awena stopped and glared at them.
"Shit." Harriet said.
Geoff's hands clenched into fists.
Awena felt the metal rub against her wrists itching to activate them.
"Guy's." A dog Faunus said. "Let's just calm down."
"Just so ye now." Geoff said in a dangerous tone. "I won't stop until every place tha' discriminates Faunus is shut down, and th' only way yer stoppin' me is by killin' me but let me tell ya. If ye kill me, my friends and brothers will not stop until they have destroyed the lot of ye."
"We have no idea what you're talking about." Harriet smiled.
Geoff didn't like that.
"Mr. Patrick." Ironwood said. "My office. Now."
Geoff and Awena walked with Ironwood to Ironwood's office.
"Sit down Geoff."
Geoff sat down.
"Tea?"
"Thank ye." Geoff said.
Ironwood poured Geoff a cup of tea.
"Geoff? Are you the one who attacked the Brothel?"
"I've no idea what yer on about." Geoff said sipping his tea.
"Geoff. I know your stance on Faunus rights, and with the Brothel, it's a monument for Faunus injustice, but you can't go blowing up Atlesian soldiers and civilians."
"I never said I did it."
"Geoff. I know what the Faunus are..."
"Shut the hell up! Now. I don' know what in th' blood soaked Atlesian hell yer on about, but I didn' do it, but when I find out who did... well. Let's just say that I'm goin' ta shake his hand and make him whatever piece of equipment he wants. Now good day sir.
"Geoff..."
"I SAID GOOD DAY SIR!" Geoff said putting his teacup on the table and leaving with Awena following him.
Geoff and Awena went to Geoff's office where Geoff closed the door and activated the soundproofing.
"RRAAAGGGGHHHHH!" Geoff roared throwing stuff from his workbench in a fit of rage.
He leaned against his workbench panting heavily.
Neither one noticed a portal open behind them, nor the faint hint of ozone.
"Master Geoffrey?" Awena asked. "Are you okay?"
"GEOFF!" Velvet yelled running through the portal.
She stopped when she heard Awena call Geoff Master.
'Did Geoff replace me?' She thought.
"Velvet!" Geoff yelled turning around to see the girl he fell in love with at Beacon, and still loved.
Velvet began stalking towards him.
"Velvet?" Geoff asked.
"You go and make me think you were dead for the last six months!" Velvet yelled.
The rest of Team CFVY came through the portal.
"YOU GO AND REPLACE ME WITH ANOTHER RABBIT FAUNUS!" She grabbed him by the shirt and lifted him in the air.
Coco looked at Velvet in awe.
Fox listened to Velvet grind her teeth.
Yatsuhashi suddenly felt very afraid of his smol partner.
"AND YOU HAVE HER CALL YOU MASTER!" She yelled changing into the Rider.
"Velvet!" Geoff yelled. "It's not what it looks like!" He looked at Velvet who changed into a flaming skeletal rabbit. 'Am I hallucinating? Is this really Velvet? Am I dreaming?'
"Let Master Geoffrey go!" Awena yelled flicking her wrists activating the gauntlets causing them to go up her arms, and cover her knuckles putting drills on her knuckles.
Velvet looked into Geoff's eyes and changed back. "GEOFF!" She yelled before pulling him down to her level and kissed him full on the lips.
Geoff passed out from the kiss.
"Damn!" Coco said. "I never knew you could kiss like that Velv."
Velvet blushed. "I didn't mean to do that."
There was a camera flash, and Velvet looked over to see Coco taking a picture with her Scroll.
"That one's going to be my new wallpaper."
AN: I wrote this chapter, and this Volume to try and show what the Faunus are dealing with on Remnant. RWBY just kind of skims over this, and I wanted to actually show what the Faunus COULD be going through, and I hope that I did just that. If Velvet seems out of character, remember, she is possessed by the God of Darkness's bounty hunter who is affecting her. Also, I am deliberately making the Ace Ops useless, pathetic, incompetent, and evil because they kind of are in the show. Or at least that's how I see them. So, sorry to anyone out there who likes the Ace Ops, but they won't be getting a redemption arc or anything. Maybe Marrow, but I'm not sure yet. Anyway. What did you think of Awena(Aw-ween-na)? She doesn't know how to act normally around normal people, so she uses what she knows to try and interact, and it kind of freaks Geoff out. What about Viridian and Cliff wrecking the Brothel? More on Beacon II will be coming out in another chapter. Enjoy.
