Tai was lost. Rain poured on him as he walked through the Grimm-infested forest of Patch, most of all. He was tired.

Earlier, he had a scuffle with a Pack of Beowolves. he manages to beat them all down, but after the brawl, it left him exhausted, with his aura shattered and with an injured arm. Nevertheless, he continued walking where his legs could take him.

After a while, the rain started to pick up as eventually Tai's legs gave up. He fell forwards to the ground as he groaned in pain for the impact of landing on his injured arm.

Tai managed to drag himself to a nearby tree as he positioned himself and gently leaned back to the tree.

He sat there. He decided to release his emotions that were bottled up as he began to cry. balling his eyes out. " WHY!?" Tai cried out. His voice echoed through the empty forest.

" Why... just why..." Tai said in a weak tone as he rested his head forward as he thought back what happened early.

Flashback

Tai walked back to the log cabin after an extended mission that Ozpin gave to him and Qrow. It was hard, but they managed.

After the mission, Qrow insisted that Tai goes first as he needed to buy some parts and components for his weapon Harbinger as it was a little bit damaged from the mission, so he had to buy some parts to do some maintenance on it.

Sure enough. Tai agrees as he left Qrow and walked away as he headed to the log cabin where his wife and daughters reside.

After a while, Tai finally got to the Cabin as he stood in front of the door. He reached inside of his pocket, pulling out a key chain full of keys as he used one of them to unlock the door.

After unlocking the door, He reached for the doorknob and twisted it, opening the door.

" Summer, kids, I'm home," Tai said as he walked inside.

As he got inside. he was expecting a warm welcome from his wife and daughters, but no one was there.

Tai raised his brow as he looked around. " Honey?" but there was no response.

' That's odd. summer would always answer if I call her.' So Tai thought as he looked around, passing the living room and towards the Kitchen.

Tai got there as he heard laughing outside the backyard. He took a look at the kitchen window with a smile on his face.

There he saw Ruby. His five-year-old daughter and Yang. His seven-year-old daughter as they were playing outside with the family dog named Zwei.

He opened the backdoor to meet his daughters after an extended mission. The door opening sound alerted the two as Ruby and Yang looked in the direction, as their faces were full of delight.

" DAD!" Ruby and Yang said as they ran over to Tai as he got to his knees, bracing for impact.

There. The two bundles of Joy tackled the blond as they snuggle their faces on his chest as Tai drew them closer to him with a hug.

After a while, Tai broke off the hug as Ruby and Yang step back a little before looking at their father.

" So, how was the Mission with Uncle Qrow?" Yang said.

" Yeah! How was it, dad? did you manage to kick the Grimms butt?" Ruby said, making karate poses.

Tai chuckled before answering to there questions. " The mission was okay, and Yes. I did kick some Butts with the help of your Uncle, of course." Tai explained, giving Ruby a head pat much for her delight.

" So, wheres uncle Qrow?" Yang asked.

" He said he needs parts for his weapon, so Qrow asked me to go first," Tai said as he gave Yang a head pat, despite her cries on not touching her hair, but secretly she enjoys it.

Tai especially stopped giving them head pats despite Ruby's pouting; He got up before saying one question to his beloved daughters.

"Okay now, Have you seen your mother? can't seem to find her around when I got back." Tai asked as his youngest answered.

" Oh, she's upstairs in your room," Ruby said. " and I think she's waiting for you there."

Tai was about to say something nice to his daughter, but Ruby caught him off.

" But something weird was going on when I visited mom." Tai listened to his daughter as she continued.

" When I visited her. She was sweating and somewhat tired, and I can smell something weird inside the room before she said to play with Yang before closing the door." Ruby explained.

Tai was in thought. " No, that cant be. She can do that, would she?" He got up as He looked at his oldest. " Yang, stay with Ruby. I'm going to check on something." he ran towards the house, leaving both Ruby and Yang confused.

Yang decided to follow him secretly, but she told Ruby not to come and play with Zwei while she's gone before she could do that.

Ruby agrees as Yang took chase.

Tai was running up the steps, and as he got to the top. As He got up there, he could hear strange sounds coming from his and Summer's Room.

His heart was beating as he strolled towards as he gripped the doorknob. His heart was pounding as he could hear the noises getting louder and louder.

Tai took a breath as he busted into the room with no hesitation.

And as he busted into the room. Everything stop. His eyes widen as he couldn't believe their eyes.

Summer. His beloved with Wife, naked. Scrambled as Summer tried to cover herself, Beside her was a man He knew back in Beacon when they were students.

Alister white. A former classmate Back at Beacon. He had blue eyes and brown hair—some of the guys that tried to asked Summer on a date before being declined, now here he was, lying beside his wife as they looked at him with eyes widened.

Tai stood there as Rage filled his eyes. He didn't hesitate as he dashed forward to Alister and hooked him at the face as he fell on the other side of the bed, knocking him unconscious.

Summer looked in shocked as she saw Alister get knocked out by Tai. She got up and pushed Tai away from the unconscious Alister.

" Tai, What the hell!" as she went to the unconscious Alister as she tried to wake him up.

Tai, on the other hand, was shocked, but later, he composed himself. There he saw two-piece of paper at the desk. One was whole, as for the other was torn.

Tai walked up to it and grabbed the paper as he examined it. His eyes shot up as he couldn't believe his eyes.

It was a Marriage certificate with Summer and Alister's names where signed on it.

He looked at the other and saw His and Summers Certificate but torn.

Tai couldn't think straight. What did he do wrong? as he stood there with an aching heart.

Summer. Who was trying to wake Alister up. She looked at Tai as her eyes widen. She saw Tai looking at the paper as he stood there, not moving a muscle.

Tai slowly turned his head towards Summer as her heart ached. There she saw Tai's eyes filled in
sorrow and pain.

Summer couldn't move. Nor speak as she was at a point where her body would not obey what she was saying as she looked in horror.

Tai looked down as he placed the paper down on the desk and walked to the door. As he got to the door, he looked back at her with his eyes full of pain and sorrow before walking out and closing the door.

Summer was still shocked, but later, she regains her consciousness as she scrambles for clothes in the hope of catching up on Tai before its too late.

Tai was walking to the front door as he grabbed the knob and opened the door.

He walked out and closed the door behind him as his heart was aching, causing him the pain was not going away.

He met up with Qrow, who was holding a paper bag as he tried to talked to him, but he didn't listen.

Tai continued walking as He could hear Qrow's voice calling him. There he bolted out of there and into the forest as he could listen to Qrows voice shouting at him as the voice faded into the distance.

End of Flashback

Tai sat there at the tree as rain poured down on him. His eyes began to close from the lack of energy aura and energy he has.

But before he could go unconscious. He could hear a faint voice calling out.

" Hello? is someone there?" an unknown voice called out as Tai looked around as he could see a glowing light in the distance.

The light stopped as two pairs of glowing blue dots came to view as the figure began running towards him.

" Mister, are you alright!?" the Unknown voice called out as Tai's eyes began to fade out and close. But before he could lose consciousness.

The last thing he saw was Bright blue beautiful eyes as the person was calling out on him as; he lost his consciousness.
