AN from warrior: Hello everybody! I know you all have your little requests, likes, and even things you hate about this, but do understand most of the things I plan to write are for the most part set in stone. Though I do feel obligated to answer a few things that caught my attention that needs to be addressed.

Firstly, the reason why the God of Darkness seems so arrogant. Honestly, you can't deny he was at LEAST a bit arrogant in how he acted in canon. Along with the God of Light to a more...polite degree. Like their word is the end of the discussion, regardless how you feel and you simply HAVE to deal with it. They don't negotiate with their own creations, hell they even hide things from them in the God of Light's case. While the God of Darkness simply killed off the human race for daring to use the magic HE GAVE THEM against them. Instead of trying to reason with them or only kill those who rebelled as an example for the rest, while spreading word of Salem's punishment for her misdeeds. He may appreciate a defiant nature to overcome the odds and grow stronger. But being insulted will anger him. I mean who wants to be compared to Raven Branwen and be told she is better than you, when she ran out on her own kid to lead a tribe of bandits?

Anyway, there is many things he and the God of Light could have done, but both chose not to. Instead leaving Salem alone on a planet devoid of human or faunus life for who knows how many years. The only thing arguably keeping her company is the Grimm and we know they couldn't kill her even if they tried.

Like two deadbeat parents who leave a child alone to their own devices, expecting their solitude to break them into being obedient little slaves who are starved for affection and comfort. Is this a harsh comparison? Maybe, but you can't deny this is the effect solitude has on someone for long periods of time.

Solitude is more painful than most give it credit for, especially when you're only company is creatures trying to kill you on a daily basis.

Granted, life came back...after who knows how long in the form of the second race of humanity and the faunus. But for some reason Salem avoided them by staying in her cabin...? Not sure why on that end, but she wasn't too well known by them when Ozma came back. Perhaps it was to avoid getting close to anyone again and avoid being hurt by losing another loved one? Who can say honestly...

But the God of Light's only method of fixing their Salem problem was only having Ozma get into a reincarnating mission against Salem without being fully made aware of everything that happened. All he got was one VAGUE warning not to seek comfort in the love of his past. No explanations of her actions in the past or their own mess ups in what pushed her into doing what she did...

Now main point is, they tend to think their actions are the best decision and tend to act on it without a care for how their creations feel, despite using them for said purposes. Like Jaune in this story or Ozpin being the God of Light's champion. Is arrogance really a surprise for some of you to see in gods all considering? I think it isn't in my honest opinion. I would be happily surprised to find deities that aren't arrogant in some shape or form.

Children learn from parents, just as creations learn from creators after all. And we definitely have arrogant ones among our race... But you're free to see the gods any way you wish in the end, just as THIS is how I see the gods. Arrogant in their own ways and especially when they feel their creations are getting out of line.

Now secondly, yes they will learn some stuff from the book, but strictly the things you'd expect from a history book. Like the wars humanity has fought in the US history, because it is a book of the 'History of the U.S.A.', now there is more than wars in it. But I don't want to go over all the complicated stuff that will take a long time go over. So light mentioning of their history will be talked about instead.

Namely important events that is well known to all of the USA in my mind that anyone should have some idea about on a civilian level that will be LIGHTLY touched on. I hope you can understand. I don't want to make an essay worth of text about each and every thing they find in that history book. I want to try to reduce how long these chapters are getting.

Thirdly, NO, there will be no sex scene of Claire x Jaune being shown to Team RWBY, Ren, Nora, Summer, Qrow, Oscar, Maria, Madonna, and Saphron. Period. I'm not that level of Jackass to do that to them. Some of you may find that funny, but NOT me.

With all of this said, I have one last thing to say to you all...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Chapter 4: Not Everything is Black and White. In the end...it's all a Question of Faith.

Summer glanced at Ruby as everyone sat in a circle around as Blake was reading some of the historical battles the country of the USA has gotten into. Honestly, it saddened her to think even in a world without Grimm or before those... zombies ever came into the picture, there was still conflict and senseless wars.

She only wondered how Ruby was handling this, it was clear to see this information was a bit worrying for her youngest daughter. That's not even considering the talk they need to have about Ruby's feelings for Jaune, she felt she would need to address that soon and help Ruby deal with this situation.

"I still can't believe Hitler had such a hatred for Jews... I mean those people were innocent...why would he be so determined to wipe out the Jews that he is willing to kill six million of them in his concentration camps?" Ruby asks, horrified to learn of the bloody history that came with World War II. 45-60 million were said to have died in that war all because of Hitler's desire to have Germany dominate the world in alliance with Japan and Italy.

"It's hard to say, Ruby, but I'm glad his army was defeated. He truly was twisted to think killing off others would make things better for his 'pure race' ideals." Blake said, feeling a chill at how she saw a bit of Adam in Hitler, he was thankfully not AS bad, but...he was close. Dangerously close to her taste, given a few more years of living in spite and allowed to use the White Fang as he pleased...how far would he go to make the humans pay for his suffering in the past?

To think...she once thought Adam was justice, she was glad she had her eyes opened before it was too late to redeem herself.

"I'm more saddened at the Civil War between the North and South, not to mention the years the country had spent before the African Americans got the equal rights they always wanted..." Weiss mutters to herself, thinking of her own family's company and family name itself she wants to redeem. While not as bad or as long as the history of she has heard Blake go over so far, she and Blake both knew all too well that if something isn't done the Schnee name could be forever stained in similar colors for generations to come. It made her feel worse knowing she lost her heiress title and Whitley became the heir with how her father must have groomed him to suit his own ideals for the company.

She doubts she could get to be the heiress again, but she still wished to redeem her family somehow from all the wrong Jacques has done to it. Weiss just knew her grandfather must be spinning in his grave with how far into the mud her father has dragged the family name through the mud for everyone to see.

Hell, Jacques is arguably one of the biggest reasons the White Fang feels so justified in their actions in her honest opinion...

"It seems hatred and conflict happens regardless if the world had Grimm, zombies, or neither of these threats." Ozpin noted with lament and sorrow in his tone. It was a bitter pill to swallow for the reincarnating soul who only tried to do the right thing through out his many lives, fighting the battle to save the many that left him with more sins than anyone else on Remnant.

At this point he wondered who was more guilty between Salem and himself. Both had done numerous sins across his life times in their conflict, one that has gone on and on with no signs of stopping. He knew for a fact people of Remnant had a hard time getting along, but to learn other worlds version of humanity had the same problem was disheartening.

Still, he found some hope in people like Martin Luther King Jr. Who did his best to unite the blacks and whites in the U.S, a shame he died the way he did, before he could see the fruits of his labor, but the man was truly respectable to the old wizard.

"Ruby can we talk for a brief moment?" Summer asks Ruby, deciding to pull her away from the group and keep this private for Ruby's sake. Ruby looked at her mom in confusion, but nodded in acceptance.

"Sure, I suppose." Ruby said as Summer guided her away from the group and up on the seats for some privacy. Yang watching Ruby with some confusion and a bit of worry. Why did Summer want to talk to Ruby alone? Was something wrong?

"Let it go, Yang." Qrow spoke up, earning her attention to see the man give her a small smile. "I know you're worried, but if it was something we needed to know, Summer would tell us."

Yang looked unsure, but nodded in agreement nonetheless. "Fine, but...I'm still asking Ruby later." Yang says, having an idea what it could be, but not wanting to make a scene about it. If it's what she thinks...Ruby may need them both later for comfort.

Summer watched Ruby look at her curiously as they took a seat next to each other, mentally preparing herself to confront a serious issue of heart. It's funny, when Ruby was SO much younger she looked forward to giving her a talk about finding the right one to fall in love with. In her eyes if not for the God of Light's actions she would say Jaune is just that and Ruby showed signs of feeling the same, but if Jaune can't find his way back or falls in love with Claire during his time on that world...

"Ruby, I want you to promise me not to freak out and keep your voice down as this is kinda private of a matter. One I wish we had more privacy with, but this is as best as we can do okay?" Summer asks, making Ruby now more nervous and a bit worried. What was on her mom's mind she wants her to keep her voice down and not freak out? Was it about their silver eyes? No. That didn't make any sense to hide from her friends or from Qrow...

'So what is it then? What's bothering mom so much?' Ruby thinks in worry nodding in agreement to her mom's request.

"Sure, but what's wrong, mom?" Ruby asks in concern for her mother, touching Summer's heart at how caring her daughter is.

"Ruby, how do you see, Jaune? Be honest with me." Summer asks her daughter, making Ruby blush as she averted her eyes from her mother.

"Well...he's a good friend that's been there for me since I first came to Beacon. He wasn't much of a fighter at first, but he quickly grew some skill in combat thanks to his partner, Pyrrha..." Ruby paused as Summer gave her a one arm hug to console her daughter.

"It's not your fault, remember that, Ruby." Summer told her, earning a nod from Ruby.

"I know, I know...Jaune helped me in taking some of the guilt away after I left Beacon to find the ones behind the attack on Beacon. His team was with me every step of the way and over time I... I guess I bonded with them all closer than we was before. Jaune proved he is great at tactics and was always looking out for us, even though he lacks our skill level he would stop at nothing to ensure we were all safe. I can see why Ozpin made him the leader of JNPR, he thinks of his friends at all times and knows when to keep fighting or when retreat." Ruby begins to explain to her mother, earning a nod as Summer watched the way Ruby talked of him. The praise and the way her eyes had a familiar shine she seen in Tai when he spoke of herself or Raven. It confirmed what Summer had suspected.

Now it was time to see if Ruby acknowledged how she felt for Jaune or if the feeling was still unknown to her daughter.

"What about him as a young man, Ruby?" Summer asks her daughter making the young rose blush as Summer sighed. "I knew it..."

"Mom, he's not-" Ruby protested, ready to defend Jaune of any worries her mother may have. She didn't want Summer to get overprotective of her like dad and Yang would

"I'm not saying he's bad, Ruby." Summer cut her daughter off, much to Ruby's relief to hear. "I'm worried how you're going to handle...this." Summer said, gesturing to their surroundings and Ruby was beginning to understand her mother's worries.

"Ruby, as much as I'd like to say to wait for Jaune to come back and never lose faith in him. We don't know if he will and I-" Summer tried to explain as Ruby got a bad feeling in her heart she was trying to ignore.

"We don't know he won't come back though either, mom...It's too soon to say he's not coming back. I can't give up on him when he never gave up on us." Ruby tells her, making her mother sigh. She dreaded the idea of talking about such subjects, but this needed to be done. Before Ruby gains a hatred for Claire if her suspicions are correct.

"Maybe not, Ruby, but consider this. What promise did Jaune receive from the God of Light he would be allowed to return? He was dropped off to that world without any warning and had no idea what is going on. What if he's stuck there for life and forced to move on?" Summer asks Ruby making her daughter sniffle at the thought as Summer hugged her. Ruby quickly hugging her mother back for comfort, making Summer's heart feel like it was stabbed and the knife was being twisted while inside her chest.

"I don't want to lose him, mom, it's not fair..." Ruby said as Summer pet her daughter's hair.

"I know, Ruby, I know...I'm so sorry. I don't want to say give up on him, but you have to acknowledge that if he chooses to move on and falls in love with someone else. He deserves to be happy, doesn't he?" Summer asks, feeling horrible as she felt Ruby's tears beginning to wet her shirt. Mentally cursing the God of Light for putting her daughter through this by taking Jaune away. The God of Darkness may be having them watch this, but that was their own choice. Jaune had no such options before he found himself on that world, left to his own devices to figure things out on his own.

"He does, but...what about me? I...I want to be with him too..." Ruby sniffled quietly as possible as Summer held her, wrapping her daughter in her cloak like she used to do so many years ago.

"That remains to be seen, Ruby, but if he moves on, you need to support his feelings on the matter. You can't force someone to love you or to choose you, Ruby. If you did, he would feel like he's your prisoner and that's not love. You CAN stay by their side and never give up on them, but you can't force them to feel the same. Do you understand, Ruby?" Summer asks, making Ruby nod in reluctant agreement. She hated this, but...she didn't want to force Jaune to do something he didn't want.

Ruby was beginning to have mixed feelings toward the gods. If not for their meddling, Jaune would be with them on their way to Atlas. Safe from all this mess, but at the same time the God of Darkness did grant them her mother back in their lives. Plus, there is how arrogant the God of Darkness is. That did rub her the wrong way, but the way he spoke of the God of Light and the other deity from that world... they might be arrogant in their own ways too.

Now that she thought about it, the situation seemed really unfair. The God of Light let the God of Darkness wipe out humanity for the actions of Salem and three armies she tricked into going against the gods. Leaving humanity to rise from the ashes to deal with Salem, who they left to her own devices for the second time. The God of Light eventually getting Ozma to start reincarnating, not once telling him how far Salem had fallen. That he could be forced to fight Salem to save humanity and faunus to fulfill his mission to unite humanity.

Yet, now without a word to them or even to Jaune about it, the God of Light just takes him to another world in a deal no one knew about. Not even his brother knew of it and was told to not affect Jaune or those of that world in anyway.

"Why are the gods so cruel, mom?" Ruby finally brings herself to ask as Summer was petting her hair. A frown on the older woman's face as she considered how to answer her.

"I don't know sweetie, they're not really evil, I think. But...they're not really flawlessly good either. I guess it really explains how Ozpin ended up the way he is when you think about it." Summer tried to answer her daughter, unsure what to say to explain why the gods are the way they are. To think, there was once a time she had believed the gods were more just than they are proving to actually be.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting, but I trust the books I left you provided some interesting knowledge, no?" The God of Darkness said coming out of a portal that swiftly closed behind him, making everyone give him a nod. Some more hesitant or wary than others.

"Yes, it was, but what's going on with Jaune over there anyway? You was gone a while." Ren asks, curious where the deity had been doing while on that world. This question immediately made Saphron and Madonna perk up, hoping he was alright.

"He's fine, though he has been studying up on the new world he lives on and is adjusting to life there before he decides his next move." The God of Darkness answers vaguely, deciding to throw them a bone without really giving away any spoilers of what is exactly going on.

"God of Darkness, can you please take us to him?" Madonna asks, not wanting to waste any time. Earning a sigh from the deity, he knew that was coming.

"As much as I would love to stick it to my brother by doing that, I can't risk it." The God of Darkness told them, earning worry and confusion from those he gathered here.

"You mean the other deity, don't you?" Ruby asks, fearing that was the reason. Fears that was confirmed as he nods his head.

"Right you are, little rose. If I brought anyone from Remnant to his world without permission. It'd be seen as an invasion or some attempt against HIS designs for his world. Brother only got away with doing this BECAUSE of their deal." The God of Darkness said with annoyance clear in his tone.

"So there's nothing you can do? Can't you reason with them to let us visit Jaune at least?" Saphron asks in desperate hope for something to latch onto.

"Please, that holier than thou deity may piss me off something fierce for his views, but I know better than to think he'd even wish to speak with me unless he had to. Even if I broke into heaven, odds are he'd either chase me out or kill me for it. He despises those of the dark like myself, especially the traitor who caused so many of his own to fall to hell in a futile battle he could never win... Long story short, he'd never negotiate with me purely for being a God of Darkness." The God of Darkness said with resignation and disgust at the thought. While earning some confusion in the humans and faunus brought into his realm.

'Traitor?' They all thought, realizing even this deity the God of Darkness speaks of had some problems on their side of things. While Ozpin felt some sympathy for the deity, this traitor sounds like they had done something similar to what Salem had.

"That's messed up..." Yang commented with a frown. Not liking how these deities seem to treat each other. Was this really how all deities behave toward each other? Now that she thought about it, was it any wonder humans and faunus fight one another all these years, even with the threat of the Grimm on their doorstep?

"It is, but I've grown used to being hated by ignorant fools. Comes with the territory as any wielder of darkness based powers will know." The God of Darkness said earning some sympathy and a few eye rolls that he ignored.

"What about your brother? I mean...you could ask him to vouch for us?" Madonna said weakly, not wanting to give up.

"I'm not really in the mood to ask him for favors and honestly if he did care, he would've let you all know himself. Instead he sought to keep this a secret and if not for me, you all wouldn't know a thing. Just be left to your own devices until he deemed fit for you all to know. Who knows how much time would have passed before that happens? If at all..." The God of Darkness spoke with annoyance, why did she think he would purposely try to talk to his brother at this point in time? After all the times that brother of his kept doing things behind his back, he wasn't feeling too willing to ask him for help.

Much to Madonna and Saphron's sorrow, knowing they couldn't reason with the being when he is like this. Earning as sympathetic hug from Summer Rose, which made them smile a bit. Glad this woman understood their pain and worries.

"Now, if we're done with the questions. Shall we get started on the next chapter?" The God of Darkness asks his audience, ready to show the next set of memories he has of what Jaune went through in Raccoon City.

"We might as well, I'm not getting any younger and these youngsters want to see how Jaune is doing." Maria said earning nods of agreement from everyone as they took the same seating positions as last time.

"That was quick, but very well. Let's start the next chapter." The God of Darkness said, creating a giant throne to sit behind the others and sat down on it, waving his hand toward the space in front of them to open the viewing portal to begin showing them the next set of his memories.

Chapter 4: A Question of Faith

(Location: S.T.A.R.S. Office, Raccoon City Police Station. Second Floor, West Side. Raccoon City, Arklay County, Midwestern U.S.A.)

After taking the battery from the Captain's Office, Jaune and Claire went to investigate the rest of the area. The brunette found more ammo and more flame rounds for her grenade launcher, along with another first aid spray, in a first aid bag of course. As well as a flash grenade. Something else caught her eyes, a computer with a hard drive in front of a steel pin that had an electronic lock. Probably where they kept their weapons. She tried to get in, but failed, the computer requesting her something about a USB. Guess she won't be getting her hands on whatever they are keeping in there, unless they find the USB needed to get in.

"Whatever is in there must be pretty good for tighter security." Weiss figures, knowing any weapons locked up tighter than most always means it's more dangerous for just anyone to get. Hunters and Huntresses weapons are considered as such in their world after all, with how civilians are never allowed mechashift weapons.

"Hopefully they'll find the USB to get in. I'm rather curious what's in there." Ruby said as her inner weapons geek was starting to imagine the possibilities of weapons that could be there.

But there was willing to count this still as everything is good, especially with the detonator now working after Claire put the battery in the back of the device. They just have get to the third floor and set the C4 at the steel pin where they can get the last medallion, so they can then open the secret entrance under the Goddess statue. The brunette was too busy looking around to notice her blond companion's trouble expression.

"She should keep more notice on his feelings..." Ruby mutters with both protectiveness for Jaune and sorrow she wasn't there to help him feel better.

"Not her fault, Ruby, sometimes people get distracted when trying to survive." Summer told Ruby gently, though a look in her eyes made Ruby sigh in resignation. She knew what her mother was really saying, but chose to say nothing about it as she gave a silent nod.

Jaune hasn't moved since arriving to the office. He wasn't that shaken up about the Licker. It reminded him of the Grimm since it didn't look human in the least, compared to the zombies. The Blond huntsman was in deep thought, still thinking about the realization that he was no longer on his home world. He kept pondering over and over on how the heck he ended up on another world. There was no logical explanation. He just appeared near the Mizoil Gas Station. Jaune doubted Ozpin had something to do with it. His power had ran low for centuries, so he shouldn't be able to zap him to a whole new world. He already missed his teammates and friends. Ren, Nora, and Ruby.

"Oh come on, I know we aren't close, but don't we count..." Yang grumbled a bit.

"You can't blame him, Yang, he is closest with those three out of any of us." Blake says in understanding of Jaune's inner circle of friends.

"I guess..." Yang grumbles making Summer smile at the sight in amusement. Yang was not one to like being sidelined too much.

Was there even a way to return? Blue eyes widen in shock. What if he never finds a way back? What if he's stuck here?! All of this will give him a headache. So he decided to help his new friend search the place.

He really needed to get his mind off his world and focused on the task at hand. The desk, that would be a good place to start even if by now, Claire was staring at him. She could tell something was bothering him. It's true they just met, but they are working together to leave this station and survive. And she didn't mind seeing the blond as a friend. He has already done enough for her. Not to mention protecting her from two explosions when he barely knows her. No one would do such a thing unless it was a selfless person that is willing to put his life at risk for strangers. The brunette wanted him to talk to her. Maybe she can help him in some way. Was it because she asked where he is from? It was really weird he didn't know anything about the US or what was French. The Redfield kept it in mind to talk to him when they at least find the final medallion. Besides, she didn't like seeing him down. It was better to see him with his positive attitude and cute dorky smile.

'Seriously? This is hardly the time or place for that Claire.' she blushed slightly at her train of thought. Giving the blond another glance and smiled, he was oblivious to her gaze.

Ruby felt a mix of annoyance, sadness at the thought of Jaune being stuck there for good, and powerlessness to do anything about it...Was it really right to let Jaune go at this point? Was there really no way she could have him at her side again? Instead being forced to take part in this deal from the Gods when no one had a say in anything...

Ruby was finding herself more bitter towards the gods than before. She was slightly agreeing they wasn't at fault for everything, but they sure didn't seem to mind screwing with their lives at their own leisure.

It was indeed strange for her to be thinking such things. Most girls her age would only think of going to the malls, the movies, or thinking about boys. Not her, she was different in every way. Not your average nineteen year old. A bit tomboyish because her usual hobbies were tuning her bike. Which she left at the gas station, the brunette mentally cursed.

"I know how you feel, Claire..." Yang said softly, thinking of her own poor Bumblebee, it died for a noble cause, but it sucked losing her favorite bike.

"If it makes you feel any better, Yang, that was a fairly good entrance as you came to help your partner." The God of Darkness told her approvingly, surprising them as they stared wide eyed at him.

"What? You think I don't see the appeal in an epic entrance that does damage to your enemy at the same time? Please, I may be a god, but we do have likes and dislikes too." The God of Darkness told them earning some understanding nods while Yang grinned, maybe he wasn't a complete dick after all.

And playing basket ball with her brother. If it weren't the two, she would be riding her bike down the road while listening to some rock music. But, when it comes to boys, she wasn't the type to find one.

'Reminds me of how Ruby was at first...' Yang thinks glancing at her sister briefly, before sighing silently. Hoping Ruby would be okay with Jaune stuck in this new world. Especially with her suspicions of Ruby's true feelings for Jaune seeming more obvious than in the past.

Her friends in high school would urge her to get one, the Redfield wasn't in a hurry. Maybe the right person will arrive at some point, she was patient enough. Did she believe in faith? Yes. Looking at Jaune make an effort to check on the desks made her roll her eyes. The blond wasn't doing his best because his mind was busy elsewhere.

Jaune mentally sighed, nothing so far. There was plenty of things on the desks, but nothing that will be useful. Maybe it was time they leave and headed for the maiden statue, so they can finally leave the police station. And then what? The blond meant what he said. He will help Claire and Leon escape this city. But, what then? What will he do after this? The Arc did his best not to think about his friends without going into hyperventilation or tearing up. Not in front of Claire. She had her own issues and he didn't want to bother her. The biggest question of all will be HOW to get back to his world. Was there even a way back?

Jaune's friends all felt sympathy and sorrow for Jaune, understanding how alone, hurt, and worried he must feel right now. They wasn't sure how they would deal with his position if it was them right now.

Even Oscar who had a rough patch with Jaune still considered him a friend and wished there was someway to bring him back. While feeling glad all he had to put up with was an immortal wizard living in his body that has made questionable choices in his many lives, instead of being dropped on a new world with no idea of how to get back home or how your friends are doing. Plus the zombies trying to eat him alive at every chance they had, that was the biggest thing that made them all worry for Jaune.

"Is there anyway to get him back to us?" Ozpin's voice chimed in, surprising everyone as they saw him and the God of Darkness look at each other silently for a few moments.

"Sorry, champion, but no. Not as long as my brother and the other deity both want this to happen. I can't do anything...even if I wanted to." The God of Darkness said with annoyed resignation as he clenched one of his fists. Hating how he was kept out of the loop and resolved to figure out just what his brother is plotting to gain from this deal.

He WOULD figure this mess out and judge for himself if it was indeed worth it all, as his brother keeps claiming it will be. His guests looked downtrodden at this as they silently turned back to the viewing portal again to resume watching. Ozpin clenched a tight fist around the cup he was holding of his coffee.

'Champion he says...funny...' Ozpin thinks in annoyance for the word. Finding the title more a curse than any complement that most would assume it to be.

Blue eyes blinked when he stepped in front of a desk. The ground he was touching felt off. The huntsman jumped slightly a times feeling the floor was hollow. There was something awfully strange about it. His actions caught the attention of the brunette.

"Claire, I think this tile is fake. It feels loose." Jaune informs her.

"This is Chris's desk," she noted obviously, because there was a picture of her and Chris, it was taken last year.

"Give me a hand here." Jaune requests of Claire wanting to check underneath the fake tile.

The girl obeyed and both crouched, checking the concrete floor. There was indeed a tile that was loose. Exactly where Jaune was standing. Now Claire knew something was odd. She took the knife Marvin gave her and both removed the square block. To their surprise, there was something inside. The brunette has taken a small box, colored dark blue. Opening it, there was a book inside. She opened it to see the first pages as her blue eyes widen recognizing the handwriting very well.

"It's Chris's diary." Claire told Jaune, earning a nod from her friend.

"That explains why he would choose a nice spot to hide it." Jaune said finding the spot a pretty clever place to hide a diary.

"No, something's not right. All of these desks have a drawer with a lock that can only be opened with a key. Putting a diary in his own drawer would make sense, but that's not the case. He must have put it here for a good reason. Maybe to hide it." Claire clarifies to Jaune about her suspicions of why Chris hid his diary so carefully.

"Why would he hide it?" Jaune asks now confused.

"Only one way to find out." The Redfield tells him holding up the book to make it clear for him to understand.

"You're planning on reading it?" Jaune asks with a sweat drop that showed his disbelief at this. Diaries are supposed to be very personal, no one else except the owner was supposed to read it.

"Jaune, you are stuck in another world during a zombie outbreak and you are worried about privacy issues of reading another person's diary?" Qrow asks bewildered the kid was honestly letting some silly thing like that keep him from finding information that is needed.

"He respects others privacy, there is nothing wrong with that!" Saphron defends her brother.

"It's a silly thing to worry about when everything is going to hell all around you and you need answers." Maria pointed out to Jaune's sister dryly. She had no such problems reading others stuff before in the Brunswick Farm.

Saphron glared at the old woman for that while Madonna put a hand on her shoulder.

"I know it's hard sweetie, but they have a point in this case, as a former huntress I know how vital information can be. Sometimes you need to check any leads you can for answers." The Matriarch of the Arc family said, sighing heavily at the memories of her past as a huntress. Far from pleasant and while she understood her kids had to be trained as best they could be, she truly wished she could have spared them that life. Only to feel guilt as she recalled how little Jaune was trained and now it might haunt him.

Yes, he is skilled from what she has seen and very good at thinking on his feet, but a true huntsman wouldn't have as much trouble as he is with those zombies.

"It's the only way I might get some answers to why he left in the first place. I doubt he would take a vacation like Marvin said. He's the kind of person who isn't fond of taking days off." Claire told him resolute in her decision to read this for some clue to her brother's actions.

"Okay, I'll leave so you can read it." Jaune said turning around to leave.

"Good move, bro." Saphron said in pride of his respect for her privacy.

"No," she touched his arm, stopping him. "You're reading it with me too."

"Now it's not a problem, Claire wants him to read it with her." Blake states hoping to keep the issue at rest when she saw Saphron about to say something. Curious what was in the diary, Saphron huffed silently as she settled into her seat.

"What, Claire, it's your brother's diary. I have no right whatsoever to read it. I'm a complete stranger, it's wrong." He argued, because he didn't like invading others privacy.

"Not to me, I know the kind of person you are." She smiled at him.

"But it's not right to read someone else's diary." Jaune stubbornly said.

"Chris isn't here. Also, the way he hid the diary. It's like he wanted someone to find it, maybe a select few." Claire reasons with him.

"Anyone that you might know?" Jaune asks his friend curiously.

"Hmm...there are a very few I would think of. Chris would trust people like Jill, a long time friend of his and might have a thing for her, but he would never admit it. I think Barry too. Those are the only ones I know, based on what he told me." Claire explains to him, recalling the two most trusted people Chris ever told her about.

"Don't forget yourself. I'm sure he trusted you more than his own friends." Jaune informs her, smiling as he thought of his own parents and sisters. While he knew sneaking out of their home, taking Crocea Mors, and enlisting in Beacon with Fake Transcripts was wrong in many ways that might have upset his family some. He still trusts them greatly.

"Jaune...You noble idiot..." Saphron said with fond smile for her little brother as her mother hugged her close, smiling in pride for her son.

"Yeah," she smiled at his touching encouragement, before staring at the diary again. "C'mon, let's get some answers."

Jaune was still against the idea, but he nodded. The brunette held the book so he could see the content too.

*August 1st 1998

It's been a week since our mission. It ended in nothing but failure. We were supposed to look for our compatriots Bravo Team, who left on a mission involving some bizarre murders near the Arklay Mountains. We managed to find their chopper and one casualty. While on our search we were suddenly attacked by a pack of dogs. But something was wrong with them, they didn't look normal. Their skin was rotten, it's like they were dead. We managed to avoid them but not before losing Joseph.

We ended up on a mansion on the outskirts of Raccoon City. However, only myself, Jill, and Captain Wesker made it. We had no idea where Barry could be. I volunteered to search through the mansion in search for him while Jill and Wesker stayed behind to secure the main hall. I witnessed a walking corpse eating our companion Kenneth. As I got back to give my report, Jill and Wesker were gone. Before I knew it, I was on my own. I never thought it was the beginning of a nightmare.*

"Chris already faced these things before..." Weiss said shivering in horror at the idea of facing a zombie in the situation Chris did.

"A pack of zombie dogs being their first experience...oh gods no..." Blake was shivering at the idea of being chased by a hungry pack of zombie dogs. Give her Zwei ANY day over that!

"I got a bad feeling about this..." Qrow said as Ozpin, Summer, Maria, and Madonna nodded in agreement, if this had happened before why wasn't Raccoon City more prepared for it? Both of them was dreading the answer they felt was coming.

Claire was shocked from finding out her brother had an encounter with zombies before herself. Turning to Jaune, the blond was also shocked. Both resumed reading.

*What I found in that mansion can't be described in words. Zombies, dogs, spiders, sharks, hunters, giant snake, giant plant, annoying puzzles, damn monsters that just won't die and a freaking tyrant. Turns out Umbrella was responsible for the leaking of the T-Virus in the mansion. They needed to test it to know what it was capable of, so they used it as a training ground. And guess who were the guinea pigs? So many of my comrades and friends were killed in that outbreak. I was able to find Rebecca along with a wounded Richard.

She was able to heal him but he ended up getting eaten by a shark to protect me, shit. During my investigation I was glad to find Enrico Bravo Team's captain. He acted hostile toward me saying something about "double crosser". I never got a chance to ask him because he got shot by the same double crosser. I found out there was a laboratory underground of the mansion run by Umbrella. And, I found out the one responsible for luring us all there was none other than Captain Wesker himself, the double crosser Enrico spoke of and the one to kill him. The bastard revealed he was working for Umbrella all along and he used us to test the capability of the T-Virus. But not before paying the price with his life thanks to the ultimate life form as he called it, the Tyrant. Even when he was planning to betray them at the time, he had already activated the self destruct system before I could stop him.

I was able to find Jill and Barry. They were being held in some prison in the lab. We managed to reach the heliport and signaled Brad to pick us up. Not before getting rid of that blasted freak Tyrant. So in the end, only four S.T.A.R.S. members survived the incident. As the lab and mansion blew up I sat silently in the chopper thinking what the hell just happened. It felt like one bad dream when it all felt so real. One thing was for sure. I wasn't going to stay quiet, everyone needs to know the truth of Umbrella.*

Everyone was stunned silent as they read the information over Jaune and Claire's shoulder from the shadows the God of Darkness watched them from.

"...They...did all this? Sacrificed human lives for the sake of finding out what a virus would do? Created all those monsters that Chris fought and had Wesker send them all to their deaths?" Ruby asks in horror, having a hard time imagining how Chris was dealing with this. It was as he described, a nightmare.

"How...how could they?" Weiss adds in, even her father never would cross such horrible lines. Yes he may be a horrible father and doesn't treat Faunus labor right, she can admit that now. But... even he never did anything like this! It seemed like Umbrella didn't care who or how many they sacrificed for their own results.

"Is this what you meant, God of Darkness? That Jaune will be facing the darker side of humanity and one of the worst creations mankind has ever made?" Qrow asks the dark deity, who nods to his question.

"Indeed it is, Branwen, but while Umbrella is one of his major enemies from what I've learned, it's not just Umbrella he will be dealing with unfortunately." The God of Darkness stated making everyone look at him and the viewing portal in worry for Jaune.

"What do you mean by that?! What will happen to my son?!" Madonna raised her voice, worry and fear creeping into her heart for her son's fate.

"You will see soon, but for now know this..." The God of Darkness trails off as everyone paid full attention to him."Jaune will be pushed to his very limits in the future viewings, make NO mistake of this. He will find humanity can be, while a great force of good, also capable of great evil too. The monsters he will face will have level of terror that is comparable to the Grimm, if not worse in how they can infect you to become a zombie." The God of Darkness warns them.

"Pretty bold claim, your Grimm nearly wipe out humans and faunus as a species multiple times." Ren brought up with a glare, remembering what happened to Kuroyuri in his and Nora's childhood.

"I know it is and I can speak from potential that this virus could kill off a great deal of people with the right planning and circumstances. Look at Raccoon City for instance. An entire city turned to the city of the dead as the few survivors still alive struggle desperately looking for a way to escape. My Grimm may be tasked with destroying all my brother has created and will hunt down any human or faunus they sense. But keep in mind they did one thing that benefits both humanity and the faunus." The God of Darkness explains to them, earning a scoff from Nora.

"Oh, and what is that? Give us something to hate?" Nora asks sharply with a glare.

"A common enemy, Valkyrie. Do you know how long it took humanity to ever learn to get along without common enemies? How many times Remnant was FORCED to work together for mutual survival instead of holding on to pointless squabbles and conflicts from ages ago? Humans and Faunus alike can hold grudges that would last generations of pointless battles from all over the world." The God of Darkness stated as Summer glared at him.

"And what makes you think there wasn't a better way to do this?! Why must you send creatures to kill us?!" Summer demands, only to be met with cold laughter from the god.

"You...you really think humanity is plagued by us, don't you? You may not realize it, Summer, but allow me to clue you in. "I" gave humanity magic to fight Grimm in the first place. I didn't let the Grimm continue existing just for shits and giggles after my agreement with my brother to create humanity. I kept them around to challenge your species and force them to learn to work together. I gave humanity magic because I wanted them to live and become more than they were before. To have a fighting chance against my previous creation in the Grimm and show me how they'd defy the odds stacked against them, with my blessings in having magic at their command." The God of Darkness told them, shocking them to think he would do that for them because he wanted them to be better than they were.

"But...wouldn't the same be true for the zombies to make everyone have a common enemy?" Weiss asks wondering why the God of Darkness felt the Grimm did better in that than the zombies.

"Simple, I intended for them to give you a common enemy for YOUR growth. Umbrella on the other hand...had no such intentions. They wanted something far worse." The God of Darkness told them cryptically, not wanting to spoil the surprise he wanted them to see for themselves.

"What did they want?" The God of Darkness would have rolled his eyes at this if they could see it at the predictable question. Humans and Faunus truly was a strange creation that he and his brother made together. Sometimes they're incredibly sharp, other times they can't see the obvious things right in front of them.

"Watch the viewing portal to find out. I told you before I won't give you all the answers before you see it for yourselves." The God of Darkness told them, making them reluctantly sigh or nod in agreement with a few huffs of discontent as they all turned their attention back to the portal showing them what Jaune and Claire was reading.

"This is crazy. Your brother already went through hell." Jaune was in complete shock.

All thanks to Umbrella, sons of bitches," Claire sounded as pissed as she looked. "I bet they're also responsible for the outbreak in this city too."

"Let me get this straight. This company called Umbrella. They're supposed to be good?"

"Supposedly, they're a pharmaceutical company that are trying to come up with cures to diseases. They also have a set of creams for skincare, all that shit. But we know the truth." Claire explains to Jaune with a scowl thinking of how everyone was fooled by Umbrella.

"Instead they make viruses that turns people into zombies. That's twisted." The Arc stood shocked.

"Twisted is putting it lightly, kid." Qrow said with a heavy sigh as he took a swig from his flask. Much to Summer's displeasure, as she looked at him with both annoyance at his drinking and guilt that her death had hurt her old friend so much.

"Better believe it. My brother and the others were only one of the many victims of their sick plans." Claire said with anger, realizing what her brother must have had to endure in silence all this time.

"I'm sorry..."

"No, it's okay. I'm glad I found his diary, thanks to you. There are more entries." Claire told him sincerely, relieved to finally have a better idea what is going on with her brother.

"Hope there are some good news," but somehow, the Arc doubted it.

"You're not the only one, Jaune." Maria said with a sigh, drawing slow nods from Qrow, Ozpin, Madonna, Summer, Ren, Blake, Weiss and Yang. Oscar, Ruby, Nora, and Saphron were hoping for good news for a change.

*August 20th

Weeks after the mansion incident. Me and the rest of the survivors did everything we could to reveal the truth that we have witnessed. However Chief Irons has declared the whole operation to be classified and that no one must know. So we couldn't say a damn word. I tried to convince him that he was making a big mistake. Heck, I brought the fact that Captain Wesker was a traitor and responsible for the many deaths of the S.T.A.R.S. members but Irons kept insisting such information will cause panic among the citizens and the world wide media. It pissed me off, he's only trying to cover his own ass and Umbrella's. Bastard, there was nothing we could do.

"Looks like your suspicions may have been right, Qrow..." Ozpin said with restrained anger at the corrupt nature of this Chief Irons, given what they're finding out about his behavior. Ozpin wouldn't be surprised if the man had been the manic who wrote that letter near the steel pin. A feeling many were having, this man was sounding no better than Leo in the minds of those that was involved in Haven's assault.

"Believe me, Oz, I wish I wasn't..." Qrow replies with a scowl as he continues watching. While Qrow knew Leo didn't personally hunt down his contacts and friends in Mistral, he still felt hurt and furious to find out everyone he trusted was killed because Leo gave Salem information on how to find them, arranging their deaths and covering it up.

The four of us decided to have a secret meeting with the mayor. But he was no better than the chief arguing that he only cares for the well being of his people. What to expect from Raccoon City? The same city owned by Umbrella even if we say something, no one will believe us. Obviously we weren't going nowhere at this pace. That's not all. I started worrying for our lives if the mayor and the chief are on Umbrella's side who knows what they're willing to do to keep our mouths shut. Have us killed, I hate to admit it, but that could be a possibility. Whatever the case, we needed to improvise. I did some long research and found out one of Umbrella's main facilities is in Paris.

I told the others my plan. Infiltrate the facility and record evidence of their atrocious experiments. Then, show it to the world. So they can finally see that the company they believe are trying to come up with cures for diseases are really making viruses that turn people into bio creatures. Rebecca declined saying she didn't want anything to do with this. She quit the team and is planning to resume her studies outside of Raccoon City. I don't blame her. Who knows what she experienced during Bravo Team's investigation, she never said anything.

Jill wanted some space from all of this shit. So she decided to stay in the city. I didn't argue with her choice. That only left Barry. At first, he willing to go with me just because he wants to give Umbrella hell. Same old Barry, you can always count on him. But I couldn't let him come. He's a family man after all. He has a wonderful wife and two lovely daughters. I convinced him to stay out of this and to return to his family. I don't want to lose another friend because of these assholes of Umbrella. How will they react if they find out their husband and father died on a suicide mission?

"They'd be heartbroken..." Madonna whispered, hugging her daughter close, knowing the fear every parent who is a Huntsman or Huntress face every day they do their job.

"A bit hypocritical though, considering his own sister is now in this mess looking for him..." Maria says shaking her head, both understanding why he was doing this, but felt Claire wouldn't like this one bit.

Jaune noticed Claire has tightened her hold on the diary. Oh yeah, she was angry.

"I know how you feel, Claire..." Yang said with sympathy, when she was out looking for Ruby who ran off to Haven, Yang was worried how Ruby was doing. Even when in depression at their home, she held worry for her baby sister that ran off with only a letter to say what she was doing. Needless to say, Yang was truly grateful Qrow, Jaune, Ren, and Nora kept Ruby safe in her absence.

Ruby hearing this flinches a bit, having an idea why her sister said that. Yes, she still feels it was the right thing to do, but it doesn't mean she didn't feel guilty for causing worry to her father and big sister.

Blake couldn't help frowning, knowing why Chris was going on his own and could relate to his noble cause, but wondered if how Claire felt was how worried her parents was for her after she decided to stay with her friends after everything. She'd need to give them a call later to check on them and assure them she is okay.

Weiss wondered how Winter was handling her sudden disappearance from Atlas to find Ruby, even though she had returned to Atlas with her team, Ruby's uncle, Oscar, Ren, Nora, and Maria. It didn't make things easier for her to consider how worried her big sister must have been when she first learned of Weiss's disappearance.

Even Oscar couldn't help the twinge of guilt he felt creeping in his heart, for his own sudden departure from the farm. His family would surely miss him a lot and he is sorry that he kept them all in the dark of everything going on, but...he couldn't help feeling it HAD to be done. Not that it made the guilt any easier to deal with, if anything...it made it more sad.

"Actions and even lack of actions have consequences, good and bad alike. What you need to ask yourself in the end is which choice are you more willing to live with?" The God of Darkness stated, feeling a small desire to drop some advice for them all. Everyone found it a bitter pill to swallow, but it was a truthful one they had to keep in mind. Everyone nodded in silent agreement to this truth.

I guess it was decided from the start. I will be the one to go and fix this mess. I'm not going to let all the deaths of my comrades be for nothing. I will buy my flight ticket for France this week. But I can't leave without telling everyone at the station a valuable excuse. Telling them the truth is out of the question. Who knows, Irons might even have me locked up if he finds out what I'm up to, or even killed. Fat bastard is nothing but a dog of Umbrella. I told him and everyone that I was leaving for Paris on vacation because I really needed one. I got no arguments from them. After what I went through, a vacation is a valid reason.

I'm still shocked they all bought it. Only Rebecca, Jill, and Barry are the only ones who know the truth. And they're not going to say a word, I know them well. I just hope I can return on time before Claire starts worrying about me. Knowing her, she might try to look for me by coming to Raccoon City on her own. It's a Redfield trait, I guess. Good thing I have a secret contact in Paris that is willing to lend me a hand. Looks like I'm not the only one who found out about Umbrella's true intentions.

This will be my last entry until I return. I can't trust anyone in the station now. So I will hide my diary where only you can find it Jill. If you see Claire, tell her not to worry. If everything goes well I might return to Raccoon in two months.

Claire, if you find this before Jill. I'm sorry. Don't get angry at your big brother. This is something I have to do. Please, try to understand.*

"She's going to be angry." Qrow said with a humorless chuckle with a wary grin. Knowing all too well regardless how good his intentions may be, she will be angry at first for a while and want to kick his ass for worrying her sick.

"Even if she cools down eventually. She'll still want to slap him silly, if not kick his ass, for risking his life like that and worrying her..." Saphron said getting a nod of agreement from Yang, Summer, and Madonna. Maria merely chuckled seeing the truth in that statement.

"I can't believe things got that bad in their world..." Ruby murmurs to herself, feeling sorry for Chris and how difficult Umbrella is making things for the people of their world. It almost seemed like Umbrella was discreetly controlling an entire city for their secret experiments to make monsters and zombies. But why?...That was the one thing she still couldn't see.

Why cause all this death and suffering? Why create all these monsters that are a risk to their own kind? Ruby wasn't sure what to think, but she hopes Jaune stops them. This couldn't be allowed to continue, Umbrella had to be stopped.

Claire finally closed the diary and threw it to the other side of the office. God, she was so angry with the way she started pacing back and forth. Jaune stood silent and took a few steps back. The brunette was like a bomb ready to go off any second. Honestly, the Arc didn't know what to do, or how to approach the situation. Maybe it was better to let her get it off her chest and curse as many times as she wants. Then, he will try to console her.

"I knew it...I knew the whole vacation thing was a lie. Vacation + Chris don't mix. Shit, Fuck...FUCK!" She didn't care if the zombies or Lickers would hear her.

"That is so like him. Go and play hero...I wouldn't be worried if he had people to watch his back but NO. He's going alone! Fuck!" Claire continued to rant and rage at the situation as her worry for her brother was now proving completely justified to a level she hadn't considered before.

"She needs to stop swearing so much and trust Chris to be fine." Ruby mumbles, not happy with her swearing or how she is handling Chris's actions. Chris did what he had to do to protect Raccoon City, his friends, her, and avenge his fallen comrades from everything Umbrella has done. She saw him as someone worthy of being a hero for his actions.

"Ruby, if it was you going alone to Haven instead of with Jaune, Ren, and Nora, with Uncle Qrow following your trail. Nothing would have stopped me from tracking you down the first day you ran off." Yang told her with firm determination. She may have been down and hurt at the time, but she only waited as long as she did because she knew Ruby had people looking out for her. If her baby sister had gone off to Haven ALONE... No, she would have gone through hell and back looking for her baby sister.

This made Ruby look at Yang a bit surprised and guilty to think her sister would be that opposed to her going to Haven alone. Before reluctantly acknowledging that without Jaune, Ren, Nora, and most importantly Qrow...Tyrian would have taken her to Salem like he was told to do. She wouldn't have been able to stop him by herself.

"She's not saying it to be mean, Ruby, she says that because she acknowledges how dangerous it would be for you to have gone alone." Summer comforts Ruby, while giving Yang a small proud smile that made Yang smile, glad her mother understood and was trying to help Ruby be smart about things. Qrow stayed silent for now, figuring he could explain to Summer more about what happened on that trip to Haven later, so Summer could know that Salem had definitely tried to have Ruby captured for her silver eyes.

He could only imagine what Summer would do once she ran into Tyrian after being told of how he attacked her daughter.

"I...look at the bright side," Jaune finally spoke, "he's not here. You know, city infested with zombies, remember?"

"He's going to an Umbrella facility! It's worse! Who knows what kind of things they have there?! I don't want to talk about it, goddamn it Chris!" the brunette was rubbing her forehead. "Look Jaune, I'm sorry. I shouldn't be going off like that, I-"

"No, it's okay. I don't have a problem. You just found out your brother is going to somewhere, probably more dangerous than this city. You have every right to be upset." Jaune assures her, knowing if it was his friends or family he would be just as worried and upset as Claire is.

"It has to be on a daily basis for the younger sibling to be worried sick for her older sibling."

"I know the feeling. I have seven sisters." Jaune tells her with an understanding nod, as Claire's eyes go wide at this.

"Holy shit," The Redfield turns to him shocked, "talk about a big family."

"Surprised us all too when we found out he has seven sisters." Ruby admits with an amused smile, relating to Claire on that. "I can barely handle Yang as it is."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Yang questions with a glare as Ruby hides close to Summer, as said mother keeps her children apart.

"Now, now, both of you calm down. As cute as it would be to watch you two have your little siblings spats, which I hope is better than what Raven and Qrow went through, we do have these viewings to finish." Summer scolds them both lightly, while Qrow snorted. Raven and himself always had a rocky relationship as siblings, never outright hating each other, but their arguments did get heated at times. It only got worse after Raven ran off and Summer died.

"I'm constantly thinking about them, and I'm always worried." his blue eyes softened, specially now that he was in another world, he misses them dearly.

"We miss you too, Jaune..." Madonna said feeling sad her son was out of reach and in a dangerous city on another world. Saphron hugs her mother to comfort her and seeking comfort, which the mother hugs her back without question. The rest of the audience of this viewing couldn't help sympathizing with their pain and worry.

"Are they in this city?" She turns to him worried.

"No. They're...Far away from here. They're safe," he assured her with a convincing smile.

Jaune walked closer to the brunette and put his hand on her left shoulder, giving her a smile. Without warning she wrapped her arms around him and gave a soft sob. It was hard to believe a tough girl like Claire to cry, but she was still human. It was perfectly normal to get worried and cry because you miss your family. The blond was going to take a guess, she doesn't have any parents. Meaning, her relationship with her brother must be that close. He wouldn't want to imagine what it would be like not to have any parents. His father wasn't perfect, he was strict but he still loves his family and his mother is the best. Great, now he was about to tear up when he's supposed to be the one comforting Claire. The embrace was broke as their eyes met for a few seconds. She pulled away feeling bad.

"Sorry, I didn't-" Claire tries to apologize.

"You're my friend. It's okay to seek comfort in one. I miss my family too." Jaune cuts her off with a supportive understanding smile.

Madonna and Saphron both sob softly as they embrace each other, touched by his thoughts of them. While Ruby was feeling conflicted on how Jaune comforted Claire. A part of her was happy Jaune did that for her and even acknowledged they are cute together, wanting her best friend happy with someone who would hopefully treat him right.

Yet, despite her honest attempts of trying not to be jealous, a small part of her felt like the universe cheated her of a chance with Jaune. Wishing it was her in Jaune's arms instead of Claire, just like in Kuroyuri when he comforted her. She knew at the moment there was no way to get there to him, especially with the God of Darkness refusing to risk pissing off the deity who rules that world.

"Thanks, Jaune, I really needed that." She smiled again, she was so glad to have him here. "I'm feeling better already."

"When you see your brother again, talk to him. There's no better medicine than communication. It's something my mom says." The blond tells the Redfield.

"And it's the truth." Madonna said with tearful pride as she wipes her tears, Saphron smiling at the sight herself.

"Oh I will TALK to him alright." Her eyes narrowed, while the Arc stepped away.

'Wouldn't want to be in Chris's shoes right now.' Jaune thinks in sympathy for the poor soul.

Qrow, Ozpin, and Yang all snicker at this. Knowing full well that Claire's "talk" will be one Chris will remember for years to come. Unknown to them the God of Darkness quietly chuckled to himself as well. Claire truly is one hell of a spitfire with a strong will to match.

"By the way, I forgot to give you this." The brunette showed him some handgun ammo.

"What for?" Jaune asks confused, she was clearly the main gunner here.

"I'm not the only one carrying a gun. You will need it." Claire told him, knowing it would be dangerous for him not to have ammo for his gun.

The blond huntsman gazed at the gun in his pocket "I'm not planning on using it. I'm better off with my sword and shield, to be honest."

"You should listen to Marvin. You have to prepare for anything. We don't know what else we'll face aside from zombies, lickers, or dogs." Claire persists on the subject.

Blake shivers at the mention of dogs. Recalling how terrifying those zombies mutts are compared to living ones. "Take the damn bullets and put those mutts down, Jaune.

Ruby, Yang, and Weiss were all tempted to either shake their head or scold her for her hatred of dogs. But considering these dogs was zombies and willing to eat people, they let it slide.

"And I say I am fine the way I am." Jaune replied stubbornly.

"Is it because you don't know how to use a gun?" Claire smirked a little.

"I'm...Not much into them anyway. But yeah, I don't know." Jaune reluctantly admits.

"I can teach you. If you want to." Claire offers kindly to her friend.

"Really?" That caught the blond off guard. "You would do that, even if we don't have the time for it?"

"We can make some time later. Right now, I think we have spent too much time here." Claire assures him with a smile.

"Right," he accepted the ammo from the brunette.

"I could have taught him to shoot if he just asked me..." Ruby mumbles feeling a bit jealous of the turn of events. Only to feel a hand gently on top of her own, looking up she sees Yang and Summer both giving her comforting smiles.

"To be fair, Rubes, Jaune is not one to ask for help easily back in Beacon. I think it's only the circumstances that helped make him reasonable this time." Yang says recalling how Jaune was too stubborn to ask for help when Cardin bullied him, she was glad to see he was changing from that mindset.

"Plus Claire seems to have the best intentions for Jaune. Just give her a chance." Summer comforts Ruby, who pouts, but reluctantly nods in agreement.

After leaving the S.T.A.R.S. Office they took a corner with more bloodstained walls. Claire took her grenade launcher in case another licker shows up. At the end of the corridor there were two doors. One had a lock on making the door locked from the other side. The other door had a small sign in white and red letters that said, "Linen Room". They couldn't enter since it had a lock with the shape of a diamond.

"Really? Even the Linen Room has a lock that needs a special key?" Nora deadpans at how insane this is. Was the designer of this police station on drugs or something?

"Keep in mind someone in a high position sabotaged the police station in their time of need, if I'm right about my suspicions. I wouldn't be surprised if these elaborate locks was another way of doing that." Qrow said bitterly, wishing he could gut the fucker who got their own men and women killed in the station.

No choice but to go to the other door and release the lock. To their surprise it led them back to the room where the unicorn statue is. They already had gotten that medallion, so no need to glance at it. The duo already knew what was on the other door, returning to the library. They climbed the stairs to the second floor, going to the door that will take them to the room where the C4 stood. Claire put on the detonator, activating it. The timer read ten seconds. They run off getting to a safe distance.

"Here it comes..." Nora said with anticipation for the explosion to come. Making Ren shake his head, amused at how Nora loved explosions. While Team RWBY gave wary smiles at their explosive loving friend.

The explosion was loud, but it broke through all the wood that keeping the steel pen from being accessible. A zombie entered the room from the second floor of the library. Jaune took it out with little effort. Guess the noise must have attracted it.

"You think?" Yang questions with a raised eyebrow and tone that spoke of disapproval.

"Yang, they had to. Let it go." Ruby told her sister with a stern glare.

"All I'm saying is I believe Jaune would have been a lot better off breaking through with his combined shield and sword. I'm not budging on that fact." Yang said stubbornly making Ruby sigh in annoyance, deciding to drop the subject and spare everyone the headache.

He thought what else could have been attracted. Once the rubble and smoke was cleared, the two went inside reaching the maiden statue. The brunette took Elliot's notebook to see the drawings needed to use for this puzzle. It was first the face of a goddess, followed by a bow and arrow, and finally a serpent. It was a bit tricky putting the right drawing on the panel because the pictures were rusted, but they could still see them. The lid opened on the waist of the statue, revealing the maiden medallion. The last one they need to open the secret passage of the goddess statue in the main hall.

"Finally! Now they can get out of that death trap of a police station!" Maria cheered, glad the kids were finally getting a break.

"Much agreed, but I wonder how we'll find answers from Jaune's journey once he gets out." Ozpin wonders, what does Jaune find outside the Police Station that tells them what the God of Darkness wanted them to see? There had to be more to it...

"I have a feeling things won't be that simple, Oz." Qrow said with a grimace, feeling in his gut this night was far from over for Jaune and Claire.

When they left the steel pen, something jumped down from a hole in the ceiling. Claire fired two rounds at the creature, killing it instantly. Jaune stood in awe. She didn't even think about it, she just shot the thing. They had learned from their first encounter, it was better to take out a licker from a distance than up close. The Redfield was pissed the last time, the Arc would have been caught at the thing's mercy if it weren't for his shield. This time, she just fired on pure instinct at the bastard. No mercy against these things because they would never give it to you.

"Hell yeah! Way to go, Claire!" Nora and Yang cheer, with Ruby giving a proud smile at how quickly Claire took it out, not wanting Jaune to get caught in it's mercy again. It gave her some comfort Claire was trying to correct her mistake from the previous time. Though a small part of her still felt annoyance at Jaune looking at Claire in awe like that.

'I would've been cooler about it...' Ruby mentally notes to herself. Monster slaying is her thing and felt proud in her belief Claire could never match her in that.

Heading back to the library, they climbed down going to the main hall. This was it, with the final medallion in hand. They should be able to leave the police station. Climbing down the stairs, they were now facing the statue of the goddess. The Arc waited for his company, who was holding the medallion. The Redfield finally put it in the middle slot. The upper part of the statue went down, forming a small staircase and revealing a caged door. Claire opened it with a flashlight to get a better look. It really does lead underground. Hopefully, out of the station.

"Finally, now we can find out what is down there." Ren said, mentally preparing himself for whatever Jaune and Claire will find down there.

"What about Marvin though?" Ruby asks, fearing the answer that was nagging in her mind. Saying that he was not going to make it with them.

"I doubt he's coming with them, Ruby..." Weiss said sorrowfully, unaware of how Ruby dismayed at her thoughts agreeing with her partner on this.

Escaping this city wasn't going to be easy and they needed to regroup with Leon. But this, was just a start of getting there. It truly was great to have someone like Jaune helping her. It would have been a lot harder on her own, that's for sure. Turning to the blond, he was staring at the sleeping Marvin. The police lieutenant has made it clear that he wasn't coming with them, due to his wound. And after what her companion told her, there was nothing saving him from turning to a zombie. The least they could do is wake him up and tell him of their success. The brunette touched the shoulder of the blond as he stared at her. It really bothered her to leave him here, waiting to be turned, and eventually die. Guess both are the same, trying to help others if they can. Another thing she likes about the blond dork.

"That's Jaune for you..." Ruby said with a sad smile as she hated they couldn't save Marvin, but was glad to see how much Jaune cares for others. Even if it was a bitter pill to hear Claire likes him for how alike they are.

"You did a good job raising him, Madonna." Maria told the Matriarch of the Arc family, earning a soft nod from the woman.

"I sometimes wonder about that, but...thank you." Madonna said softly, part of her wishing she trained him better to better protect himself and those around him. While another part felt she should have tried harder to keep him from being a hunter to shield him from all of this. It made her wonder what truly was the right thing to do.

"Marvin? Wake up, we did it."

The officer suddenly rose and for a moment Jaune reached for Crocea Mors. Claire did the same, taking out her gun. Both thought he has become a zombie, but he looked normal. He probably was having a bad dream.

"Oh goodness, I thought he was turned too for a second." Summer said with a sigh of relief that the rest of the audience had.

"You said it, but I can't blame the guy if he was having a nightmare." Qrow says, fighting the urge to take a swig of his flask right now.

"Are you okay?" The brunette asks.

"We found the medallions. The way out is opened," the Arc informed Marvin.

"That's good, I knew you two could do it." He groaned. "Now go, save yourselves."

"Are you sure?" Asked the blond huntsman.

"We know how this is going to end. Survive and get out of this city." Marvin told them, resolute in his decision.

"I'm glad I met you, Marvin." Jaune extended his hand.

The cop chuckled shaking his hand. "Same. You're not that bad after all. For a kid in a Halloween costume."

"Oh come on! this again? I've proven I got what it takes to survive this. Of course, Claire helped too." Jaune complained at first, before giving a small smile.

Jaune's friends couldn't help chuckling at how his armor keeps getting called a Halloween costume.

"He's never living this down, is he?" Oscar asks with an amused smile.

"Nope~" Team RWBY, Nora, and Ren all reply at the same time. Making Madonna and Saphron giggle at Jaune's misfortune.

"Get going you two. I wouldn't want to stay here forever." Marvin told them, not wanting them to go down like this city is. They had to live.

Claire nodded as she and the Arc climbed the staircase heading for the door to the passage.

"Thank you Marvin."

"Good luck, Jaune, Claire..."

As the two entered, the door closed and the passage way has closed once more. The last thing they saw was the police officer laying down, like he wanted to continue resting. He was right, they know what was going to happen. It's like it will be the last time they will see him, as a human.

XXXXXXXXRESIDENT HUNTSMANXXXXXXXX

"That's the end of that chapter." The God of Darkness said with a neutral tone that betrayed nothing of what he felt from that set of memories.

"But they're far from done, I take it." Ren says earning a nod from the God of Darkness.

"I still can't believe anyone would do this...Those poor officers was just doing their jobs and someone was willing to let the entire city fall?" Ruby says in sorrow for the poor people who suffered.

"I can't speak for all of Umbrella, but I think it's safe to assume they have a big hand in this and that traitor in their police force. I would kill him if I could." Qrow said as this brought up some bad memories of Leo's own betrayal to them, how friends of his were all sold out to Salem's forces for his own safety.

"Uncle Qrow! There has to be a better way than killing him!" Ruby protested.

"How? Whoever this is betrayed his own forces according to that letter Jaune and Claire found, putting them in a pen because they was too good a cop in his eyes. He speaks as if he holds a high position and even if Marvin lived without being infected, Claire and Jaune have no authority to make an arrest on whoever betrayed those cops. But the police station has lost nearly all of it's cops besides their rookie, Leon." Qrow questions as he glares into the dark space ahead of them.

"Branwen is correct, little Rose." The God of Darkness spoke up, surprising them all. "While I won't spoil things for you all, Branwen is correct in saying some evil is better handled by killing than showing mercy. Show mercy to the wrong people, you will live to regret it as more suffer for your own lack of finishing the job in stopping their madness."

"I may agree those monsters had to be slain, they're no longer people..." Ruby said with a heavy heart, not liking to admit that. "But I refuse to believe that killing is the answer for dealing with bad guys!"

"Ruby, we know you mean well but...sometimes you do have to." Yang says with a frown on her face, thinking of how she helped Blake kill Adam.

"She's right, Ruby, Adam...wouldn't leave us alone. Even when Yang gave him a choice to leave, he persisted and tried to fight us to the death. He would have killed us given a chance." Blake said giving Yang a small smile of gratefulness and support, one Yang returned from their seats. As Summer pets Ruby's hair gently drawing her attention to her mother now.

"They're not wrong, dear, I hate it, but it is sometimes the only way. A bitter truth of being a huntress." Summer comforts Ruby as much as she can while telling her the truth of being a huntress.

"I'll even give you a few examples of anti-heroes who know this fact and more. Not all at once, mind you, but I can start off with this simple one. Frank Castle, also infamously known as The Punisher." The God of Darkness explains, making everyone nervous at the title this man seems to have earned.

"Judging by the name, he kills a lot of people who deems evil right?" Qrow asks with some suspicion. Lots of people would claim to do something similar, namely how the White Fang act like they're agents of justice against humans because they saw them all as cruel beings. Sometimes, some humans treated faunus the same way the White Fang did. Extremists taking things into their own hands forcing their views on others.

"Yes and no. While he did kill many people, he tries to keep to criminals only and does his research before making moves. He's a lot like people from Claire's world, no semblance or aura to protect him. Just his military training, law enforcement experience, weapons, and his own smarts to study and destroy all kinds of criminals who can't be brought to justice by legal means. Either because they're too hard to catch or they have too many powerful connections to be found guilty for their crimes. If anything I know the Punisher would have been a good fit to send after Umbrella, along with a team honestly. But my brother made his choice and now we must deal with it." The God of Darkness clarifies, showing some hints of respect as he describes The Punisher.

"What kind of criminals did he go after?" Oscar asks curious of this man that the God of Darkness seems to have some respect for.

"The worst of the worst, young one. Murders, rapists, drug dealers, human traffickers, terrorists, and so much more. He was a respectable man of the government once, before a crime family gunned down his wife and child, before leaving him for dead expecting him to die. Only to barely survive through sheer willpower and later on avenge his family as he carried out justice on the crime family who got away with murdering them in cold blood. After that, he set his sights on the underground of society. He is the bogeyman of criminals everywhere on that world, he single handed took down entire crime families in some operations." The God of Darkness explains further, making everyone go wide eyed at the news. Before seeing some projections the God of Darkness briefly brought into existence to see Frank Castle gun down multiple enemies, snap their necks, or blow them up with explosives.

"Damn...this guy is hard core." Yang said impressed at his level of skill for someone without aura taking out entire gangs by himself.

"What other anti-heroes are there, God of Darkness? You wouldn't mention them unless you intended to share with us some more about them." Maria asks, truly curious of this.

"They'll be explained later, one after each chapter of my memories. For now I think I've shown you all enough. Take some time to let everything you learned sink in." The God of Darkness said before vanishing into wisps of darkness again.

To be continued

AN from Warrior: DONE! Finally got this chapter finished and right in time for Halloween! No this fic is NOT dead, but keep in mind I am not the kind of person who likes deadlines. There is a reason I am not an author by trade for money or I surely would've lost my job a long time ago. I had a lot to deal with and I thank Gravenimage for being patient with me. I'll try to do better, but please know this story will have slow updates at times. It's hard to feel motivated for me lately, but I WON'T give up. That I can guarantee. So please be patient and enjoy the chapters as they come. Also, I will show only TWO more Anti-Heroes in the next two chapters. This is a temporary extra that I agreed to purely because it struck my interest, but I have no real long term commitment with because again, motivation issues. It's NOT you all, just life and my own struggles I deal with that I rather not talk about. Please be kind to Gravenimage who is doing me a HUGE solid by being so kind and patient with me, despite being a far lesser author than he is.

With that said, please leave a review and NO FLAMES!

AN from me:

-It's finally here sorry for the long wait. Please try to understand warrior is doing his best to update this story.

Replying to reviews:

*Gamelover41592- thanks but all credit goes to warrior of six blades who is keeping this story alive. I only upload the chapters he finished.

*GabuTheDragon- please a reminder this version of the story is NOT mine it rightfully belongs to warrior. I only volunteered to keep his story by putting it under my account.

*Guest- as far as the story of RWBY goes so far I'd say Umbrella, Wesker and Spencer because they have done worse things than Salem herself. She's already a God but she's buying her time for her plans to lay fruition. Umbrella and the rest of these bastards are just playing Gods manipulating human life as much as they please. Then sell those viruses to other sick bastards to have their own bio-weapon army.

*ENDDRAGON369- that's good always be prepare.

*D.N Works- I guess I did it to make the God of Light look like he cares when he's only making things worse. Also because I wanted to show even if he's the God of Light he's not perfect he has his flaws just like his brother. Proving Gods aren't perfect.

*NecrorexSparda Juubi-No-Kishin- that will all depend on warrior he's the one writing everyone's reaction as the watch Jaune's journey into the RE universe.

*Guest- I'm actually looking forward to that too. Let's see what warrior has up his sleeve.

*VGBlackwing- yep me too. I'm hype to see everyone's reaction when they see Mr. X or Birkin's first form.

*MeteorElDrago- that I don't know however I've been doing a lot of thinking and maybe I will do two versions of the ending. One of Jaune staying on earth becoming a hero against the war of bio-terrorism and the other after he finished his mission he will return to Remnant but as an 18 year old. Maybe add Claire and Jill and who knows maybe I can make a nice harem with the two and Ruby. I really feel sorry for her in this story I actually think this is how she feel in canon considering she is close to Jaune (still don't know why people ship her with Oscar thought, oh well shippers will ship).

*xhope14x- no problem I love this story as much as anyone so I want to make sure it stays alive.

*Guest- that will be up to warrior to decide and I think he already did.

*Guest- not bad I like the idea I will ask warrior if he wants to do it.

*ryker55mc- here's the new chapter enjoy.

*JustLuck- I already read it and I like it I'm glad others are being inspired and coming up with their own stories.

*Guest- maybe but it all depends on warrior how he writes it.

*Guest- only thing I don't like of RE2 remake is that they removed the spiders they were awesome and creepy. They add that horror vibe to the game.

*dandyrr0403- sorry for the long wait but it is warrior's story and he decides when he wants to update.

*proiu- thank you I'm sure warrior will continue this story.

*Guest- already updated the story in September don't know when I will update again but I already know how the next chapter will go.

*Alidkingz- the credit goes to warrior of six blades.

*shirou6655- here's the new chapter hope you enjoy.

*Squadpunk2.0- he will I really hate the remake version of Irons and that's why I love it lol.

*King-Of-Gods- thanks but warrior made it clear in his notes above that he WON'T include the lemon chapter in the version of his story sorry. It was a decision he made and I will respect it.

*supboyyyyy93- nah lickers are just lickers not Grimm. But they are very creepy.

*Ultimate Kugga- nope warrior said he won't include the lemon scene in his story.

*armentho- I love the intermissions I want them to know more about the history of Earth.

*underdogking- I don't know it all depends on warrior.

*dirtrevor- it's warrior's story so he will write as he see fits.

*Guest- yep they won't be with Annette being" mother of the year" material gives Raven a run for her money.

*Guest- warrior won't include the lemon chapter so Ruby won't go through such lengths. I think she will accept it and move on eventually.

*Guest- God of Darkness is a hypocrite but Grimm kill they don't infect people and they become Grimm in return. I still think Umbrella is more evil than the God and Salem put together.

*Guest- that will depend on warrior if he will follow canon or make some changes.

*Guest- one chapter away from meeting G1 Birkin now and I'm also excited how everyone will react when they see him.

*Valerious Lake- no problem as soon as warrior sends me the chapter I will upload it here you go enjoy.

*Guest- warrior didn't do that as shown in the chapter sorry. But it would have been nice touch.

*Guest- that depends on warrior if he wants to bring it up or not.

*dcsonic 10- here you you enjoy.

*Guest- here's the new chapter enjoy.

*davidomega59- pienso lo mismo la historia de EU es mas complicada y violenta que la de Remnant.

*X3runner- I can't wait for that either since Jaune saw Sherry having a resemblance to his youngest sister.

*Guest- I just did I updated the story on September but I don't know when I will update again. I am hooked with my RWBY/Dragon's Crown crossover. I will check when I will have the time to write the next chapter since I know how the events will turn out.

*freedy lane 1- here's the new chapter and remember warrior is the one writing this story not me. I only upload the chapters when he's done.

*Guest- thanks credit goes to warrior of six blades.

*Guest- warrior has already decided on what characters to bring there's nothing I can do it's his story his decision.

*Greer123- it was warrior's decision to bring Jaune's family to the story because it makes sense for them to be present.

*Guest- I don't know thought I have thought of making two endings to Resident Huntsman but that's in the future.

*Guest- just updated Resident Huntsman back in September don't know when the next chapter will be out.

*Guest- just updated the story.
