Thank you again, leave any comments or questions in the review box below please feel free to judge if you want. Also, Grif as well as a few other characters may undergo a serious change that will affect them for life.

The ship had just docked at Menagerie with the newly formed crew of Blake, Doc, Grif, and Sun. The newly formed team BDGS or "Badges" for short. Grif had just woke up before the ship came to its destination he was attempting to shake off any bit of his sleepiness.

Blake was the first to comment on Grif's lazy behavior, "How are you tired? You literally slept for the whole way here."

Grif stretched, cracking his back in the process, "Well, some people need more sleep when on a boat. After all fighting that thing was tiring."

Sun was one to make a quick remark, "Dude, all you did was land on top of it's head. Literally, anyone can do that."

Grif frowned at him mention of his tribute, "Yeah, and I saved your ass. Your welcome."

Blake got in between them and put one hand on the chubby one and another on the blonde monkey, "Really guys? This early and you want to cause trouble?"

Grif held his head in slight shame, "Fine, we'll call it even. But, I won the argument."

The horn of the ship blew loud as it arrived at Menagerie, in the distance, loud bells welcomed the arrivals. When the dock drew out its boarding plank it was a spectacle for everyone to see. Grif, Doc, and Sun stood there mouths open taking in the sight of Menagerie. The faunus and human alike both in perfect harmony, no fighting, no arguing, just peace.

Sun walked off aweing to the sights, "Woah, I've never seen so many faunus in one place!"

Blake gave Sun the answer why, "This is the one place everyone can feel save. No matter who or what they are."

"Sure is crowded, huh?" Sun asked.

"Yes, yes it is." Blake replied.

"Is it always so...cramped?" Doc asked this time.

"Well, when you try to take an entire species put them on an island that's two-thirds desert, yeah it tends to be cramped."

Grif was still confused about what was stopping them from expanding, "What? You guys have that much more space. Why waste it? A little sand, a little sunlight, and heat never killed anyone."

"It's not like the desert where you guys are from, or the deserts in Vacuo, Grif." Blake responded "The wildlife here is more dangerous than most regions."

Grif then pieced the puzzle together. "So they gave you guys a terrible island in the corner of the world to shut you guys up."

Blake was surprised how well he understood, "That's basically it, yeah."

"Racist bastards." Grif added.

They were walking up a flight of stone stairs when something in the market caught Grif's eye. He pulled out a couple lien he was able to acquire from Wash and went over to buy it.

He later caught up with the group as they were walking up a flight of stairs. Just as Blake was in the middle of explaining Menagerie life, Grif came back, "We've tried to make the best of things."

When they arrived at the top of stairs the three newcomers to Menagerie looked out in awe. The only thing that came from the three male's mouth was, "Woah."

Blake was happy to see they were impressed, "This is Kuo Kuana" They went from staring at shacks near the docks to a beautiful luxurious forests with houses planted in different spots all around.

Grif couldn't believe at what he was staring at considering the shit he's been through. Not to mention the adventures, wars, and God or Oum knows what else has happened to him in the past. Grif felt a weight off his shoulders, "It's...it's...it's so beautiful." He finally said without letting himself cry tears like a waterfall.

Sun smiled as he moved closer to Blake, "I take it all back. This place looks great! Why would anyone ever want to leave."

Blake still somehow knew that Sun still wouldn't get it, "That's not the point, Sun. We asked to be equal, to be treated just like everyone else. Instead, we were given an island and told to make due. So we did the best we could. We came together and made a home where any faunus could feel welcome. But this island, this town, will always be a reminder that we're still not equal. That we're still second class citizens."

Sun put his hand on her shoulder to comfort her, "Hey, well this guy is feeling pretty at home."

She then felt another hand on her shoulder to see Grif trying to help, "Hey, I just met you guys and I already think you're badasses, so you can be sure I think you guys are awesome."

Blake sighed feeling slightly better, "Alright, time to go home."

Sun held her a little closer, feeling energetic, "Oh yeah? Which one's yours? Can you see it from here?"

Blake stood staring forward, "Kind of."

Sun began pointing out houses left and right, "Is it that one? What about that tiny one down there? I like the paint job."

Doc came up from behind Sun and tried to point out something, "Blake, I'm gonna guess what he doesn't obviously guess, but, is it that one?" Doc asked pointing at the giant black roofed house in the center of everything.

Blake nodded as Grif and Sun gaped at where she was living her childhood. Grif was surprised to see she lived a live in a place that big, Sun was surprised for a different reason.

As the group of them made their way down the steep slope of the hill, Grif wondered something on his mind. He wondered how the people at Blake's house would react seeing, someone like him. Throughout Grif's life he's been mocked, teased, and beaten because of his weight. He had a few run-ins with the law and bullies who picked on him for being an enormous kid. He also knew that Doc is an expert in meeting people given his friendly side, but what about Grif? He wondered if meeting someone on a different planet, that held a grudge against his race was the best course of action. He was unable to back out now seeing as he didn't want to return to Sarge and he was already at the door.

Blake paused at the door for a second, staring at the skull knocker, when Sun spoke up, "What is it?"

Blake stuttered trying to say something, "I...um...it's just been a long time since I've seen my parents."

Grif shared an embarrassing detail about his life, "Well, you can't get more dysfunctional than my parents. Seriously, I didn't know my Dad, and my mother was in the circus. It can't get worse than that." Grif said hoping to relieve Blake.

Blake smiled, then slammed the knocker making a sound ring throughout the house. Doc nervously said, "If I'm being honest, that is a little intimidating to me."

Suddenly the door opened up and out came a woman wearing all black except for a white apron. She had black hair and cat ears on top of her head to match the color. Her eyes grew wide as she stared at Blake, "Blake?" She asked.

Blake gave a shy wave, "Hi, Mom." her cat ears drooping a little.

Blake's Mom came out from the door and gave Blake a big hug as she held back tears, "Oh, my baby girl." Blake was shy but eventually gave into her mother's warm embrace.

Then the five all heard a mighty voice come from inside, "Kali, who is it?" Then from inside came a man wearing a purple robe like cape with armor on his shoulder. The man stood tall above all of them having a large beard and a large patch of chest hair showing. When he came to the door his hands were on his hips, until he saw his daughter. A smile formed on both of their faces as they looked at one another.

Grif had thought this was his cue to go on his own, he didn't want to feel like an outsider. Unfortunately Doc caught his hoodie just before he left and forced him to come back.

He, Grif and Doc were then invited for a cup of tea for accompanying Blake on the journey. Although Grif was more found of alcoholic drinks and not tea he found out his skin de-aged so he looked 17. He had to act and drink the way he looked otherwise there would be a lot of suspicions.

He was staying quiet at the corner of the table just keeping to himself listening to the conversation. He heard Blake's Mom, Kali, give her view when her daughter disappeared, "We were horrified when we heard the news. The kingdom of Vale wasn't perfect, but it certainly didn't deserve what happened." She sighed before continuing, "We were both so worried."

Blake's Father, Ghira, chuckled trying to play it off tuff, "Please, I knew she'd be fine."

Blake's Mother, Kali scoffed at his lie, "That isn't the slightest bit true." She turned to her daughter, and her daughter's friends to speak the truth, "You should've seen him pacing."

The talk was going smoothly until Sun opened his mouth, "You guys have nothing to worry about. I've seen your daughter in action before. She's got some moves."

Grif was trying to sustain a laugh while Doc smacked his forehead even Mrs. Belladonna was holding back a laugh with a smile. However Ghira, was not amused, in fact he was quite pissed, "And what exactly do you mean by that Mr. Wukong?"

Sun had realized what he has said and the way he said it, "I...uh...well, you see, sir, it's just that...you know, she's such a good fighter and all, uh and as a fellow fighter, I have a lot of respect for her..."

Mrs. Belladonna leaned over to Blake, next to Doc and Grif, asking a question while Sun kept stuttering to Mr. Belladonna, "Why is he here again?"

Blake just shrugged as she gave her answer, "He just kind of followed me home."

Mrs. Belladonna got a smile, "I see..."

While this was going Grif, while enjoying Sun's struggle, had to help because it was too sad to keep watching him struggle. Grif leaned over to Doc, "Hey Doc, did you happen to pack any syringes full of sedatives or morphine?"

Doc reached into his medical bag and pulled out a bag of 7 to 9 syringes, "Yeah, I got a few, why?"

Before Grif answered him he grabbed one and took the cover of the needle off. He examined it for a second and finally said, "I'm just going to help out Sun shut up."

Hearing the answers Doc calmed down for a second, "Oh okay," until he realized what Grif said, "Wait, what?"

Before Doc got up, Grif leaned over to Sun and injected the needle into the side of his neck. Sun felt it and was startled, "Hey, what the..." his speech had begun to slur, "What, what? I feel dizzy all of a..." He dropped his head as he fell asleep sitting up.

Everyone looked at Grif with different expressions: Blake's was angered, Kali's was a mixture of shock and confusion, Doc's was disappointment. However, Ghira's was surprised and pleased mixture, all were expecting an answer to Grif's action just now. Grif shrugged his shoulders and explained himself, "What? Someone was bound to do it."

Mrs. Belladonna leaned over to Blake and whispered, "I like him."

To which Blake responded with an embarrassed expression, "Mom!"

Then there was a knock at the door, Ghira just remembered something important, "Darn it, I completely forgot about the meeting."

Kali turned over to Ghira trying to comfort him, "Ghira..."

He grabbed her hand hoping to calm her down, "Give me a moment."

Blake was left with a question now, she turned to her mother, "Is everything okay?"

Her mother replied with a calm but depressed look on her face, "Yes, dear, just poor timing. He can reschedule. It's just been hard dealing with them lately."

Blake now had another question raised in her mind, "Dealing with who?"

Doc, Grif, and Blake leaned in to hear the name she'd say, "Hmm? The White Fang."

They all sprang up and shouted the same reply, "What?"

Blake and the boys, excluding the unconscious Sun, ran to the door, Blake attempting to stop her dad, "Dad."

Ghira moved to the side revealing two men in coat like clothing, one of them had ears showing "Blake, what's wrong?"

The two men at the front bowed as they saw Blake, "Miss Belladonna we had no idea you returned."

Blake looked up at her dad with a concerned expression, "What are you doing talking to these people?"

Ghira happily led his hand to show who the men were, "This is Corsac and Fennec Albain. They represent the White Fang here in Menagerie now."

Grif was getting a little concerned in his voice, "Those psychos are here too?"

Corsac tried to ease Grif's anger, "Young man, I'm not sure what you've heard of our organization, but I can assure you that we are not as ferocious as the media would have you believe."

Blake now stood up for Grif's angered voice, "What we've heard!? We've seen firsthand, your fanatics slaughtered people!"

Now Ghira was getting upset for being lied to, "What is she talking about."

The two hooded faunus, Corsac and Fennec, tried to play it off, "Precisely what we came to discuss with you, Your Grace."

Kali came to the door now with everyone, still no Sun, "Is everything all right?"

Grif was still confused about what was still going on in Menagerie, "Wait, you guys seriously don't know what's going on?"

Ghira still left in the dark asked Grif for an answer, "Know what?"

Blake in the center of everyone gave the answer, "The White Fang was at the Fall of Beacon. They attacked innocent civilians and they released Grimm into the school." Blake said finishing with a death glare at the two.

Ghira raised an eyebrow at the two, "Is this true?"

One of the cloaked faunus bowed and replied, "Sadly, Your Grace, it is."

Blake charged at them still pretty fumed, "Don't act like you're s-"

Fortunately, she was stopped by two arms blocking her path, Grif's arm which stood just over her chest, and Ghira's. The two arms made a cross stopping her from coming through as Ghira's voice boomed, "That's enough." Ghira who stood above all including Grif by a foot and a half demanded an explanation, "Explain yourselves."

The two hooded faunus looked at each other before the tall one answered, "Though it pains us to admit it, it has become apparent that the Vale branch of the White Fang is no longer operating under orders of High Leader Kahn. Rather they've elected to follow the rule of one Adam Taurus. I believe you're all familiar with the young adept and his...extreme philosophies."

Grif actually made a quick joke slash insult, "Red hair, kitana, white mask? Yeah, I think I know him. Also he still didn't answer my question when I asked him, 'How's my bumper taste?'"

The short hooded faunus ignored Grif's remark and continued, "The High Council had their suspicions of a splinter group, but they could prove nothing until this latest incident."

Blake rose her voice again, "Incident? People are dead!"

Corsac and Fennec both bowed their heads again, "And it is a tragedy." The shorter one addressed Ghira, "Your Grace, we came to assure you that Brother Taurus and his followers do not represent the will of the White Fang."

Ghira, who trusted his daughter had one question, "And how can I be sure of that?"

Corsac still in his calm voice replied, "We understand if you bear any skepticism towards these claims. The White Fang's tactics are admittedly more aggressive since you stepped down as High Leader and became Chieftain of Menagerie." Corsac soon realized that he was going to get nowhere fast, "But this...this is no way to make our message heard."

Fennec tried to help his brother's case, "We have ample documentation from the council meeting as well as several strategies to apprehend and punish these strays if you'd cared to review them."

With the crowd of team BDGS and his wife behind him, Ghira responded, "I will. But another day. I'd like some time to recollect with my daughter."

The brother faunus bowed their heads as they accepted Ghira's reply, "But of course, Your Grace." Corsac said.

"We completely understand." Fennec finished, "It was a pleasure to see you again, Young Blake."

Corsac finished his brother's statement, "We were saddened when we heard of your departure from the White Fang, but understand if you can no longer support our cause."

Like before, Fennec finished his brother's speech, "It is a wearying fight, after all."

Blake took a step forward, "Who says I'm done fighting?"

Corsac looked calmly at Blake's slightly rude remark, "Hmm...if you ever do wish to return, you need merely come and find us."

Fennec mentioned a name all too familiar with Blake, "Sister Ilia would be elated."

And just like that Ghira's massive arm's span closed the door after he said, "Goodbye, Gentlemen."

Blake stormed off and couldn't help but feel guilty about something. He turned to Ghira and bowed his head in shame, "Sorry, if I was out of line, back there. I didn't mean to be rude it's just, I don't do too well with authority that much. Just ask my old team, or Doc."

Ghira grabbed Grif's shoulders and lifted him up a little bit, "It's quite alright, everyone has their reasons, it is their choice to speak those reasons."

Grif smiled a little, "Thank you, Mr. Belladonna."

Ghira shared the same smile, "I think I might like you."

Just then Sun came into the room slightly droopy, "What did I miss?"

Everyone stared at each other before giving a small laugh. However, not all were laughing, as Doc had begun to grow suspicions about the two men who came in.

Blake was on the second floor outside on the terrace, just outside of her father's bedroom. She had entrusted Grif to keep Sun near so he can keep an eye on him to prevent Sun from getting into trouble. Unfortunately she didn't know Grif well enough to realize that he fell asleep within 5 minutes, and Sun was left under Doc's eyes. While Sun walked away from Doc, with Doc trying to stop him they left Grif alone.

Suddenly Grif was covered by a faint but orangish glow, all while he was still unconscious. The side of his face had grown hair rapidly into sideburns, even his arm hair was growing fast. His body tossed and turned around to show his body was losing it's body fat as his stomach went flat a little. His body went through a change that would affect his life forever, all while he slept.

About 10 minutes later, Grif heard Blake yell for his name. He was confused for a second but then looked around to find out the answer. Sun was nowhere to be seen, she left him and Doc in charge of watching Sun so he didn't get into trouble. Grif let out a groan, followed by a sigh, "That physically fit son of a bitch is going to be the death of me." he then walked to where the shout came from.

Grif got up the stairs just in time to see Blake slapping Sun for a reason unknown to him. Blake grunted, "No concept of privacy. No respect for personal space."

Grif just came into sight and announced himself, "Hey, what's goin' on?"

Blake turned her anger on Grif, "You, why didn't you watch Sun, like I specifically told you to?"

Grif just shrugged his shoulders, "Huh, I guess he must have slipped away from me when I took a nap."

Blake got angry on instant, "You...you...lazy excuse for a..." Blake raised her leg behind her and crotch kicked Grif. However, instead of the crunching pain, there was a loud gong sound. Blake grabbed her leg in pain as she was confused what happened, "Wait, why did that hurt?" Blake asked.

Grif tapped on his sweatpants to make the same sound and revealed to everyone he had protection, "Hahaha, steel plated, diamond laced safety cup. Money...well...spent!" Grif cheered as everyone was slightly surprised by his over excessive need for protection.

Sun resumed his apology, "I'm sorry, okay, Ow, I'm sorry."

Blake grunted as she looked up in the sky and walked away.

"Look, I promise it was important. I needed to find you to talk to you."

Blake turned around and snapped, "What, Sun? What could be so important?!"

Sun rubbed the side of his face in pain, "I was talking to your mother and she said something really weird about the White Fang."

Blake turned around with her finger pointed at Sun, "I'm stopping you right there..."

While Grif had his eyes going back and forth from the argument his other senses were picking up something. He turned his head to the side to get a better hearing, then started sniffing the air. He began to pick up traces of dust and heard something within the palm tree-line near the house.

He had to interrupt the conversation when Blake smacked Sun's scroll down, "I don't WANT your help." she said.

Grif raised his voice above the others slightly, "Hey hey, shut up you two."

Sun and Blake growled aggressively at Grif until they heard a gasp in the trees. Then, Blake gasped when she saw a dark figure on top of a tree. Sun and Grif shared the same opinion as they saw the shadow jump up and nearly disappear, "A freakin'/fuckin ninja?!"

Blake corrected both of them, "A spy."

Sun had another question, "But, why would-" He was left unanswered as she jumped off the railing. "Hey, wait."

Grif sighed as he knew what this meant, "Aw crap." He sighed as he hopped down from the railing.

Blake's Mother, Kali, came outside to see what happened followed by Doc, "What's happened?"

Sun reassured them he was right before he jumped down, "The White Fang is evil. I totally called it. And I'm bringing your daughter back."

Doc looked at Mrs. Belladonna and gave her reassuring hope, "I'll go get my medical bag."

Grif was running through the jungle like palm trees, following the figures of Blake and the spy. To Grif's surprise he was running faster and much longer than he expected to. He saw Sun hop up in the air from out of nowhere, "Gotcha." Sun said as he almost caught the spy and fell into a pile of leaves. "Hey, wait up."

Blake turned to Sun and Grif, "Don't let her out of your sights." and with that the chase continued.

The race continued on the roof tops as Grif was hauling it the best he could, Blake was right on the spy as she did leaps and sprints along with other assortments of moves. Blake stopped as the spy looked directly at her, "Why are you watching me?"

Before the spy could answer Sun lept up onto the same roof as Grif climbed up out of breathe. Grif panted on his knees before the action continued, "Give me a moment." After a few seconds of catching his breathe he got up, "Okay, I'm good."

Sun got up and took a step forward, "Give it up, I'm not above hitting a girl, you kn-" He didn't finish his sentence as he was almost whipped by a small but bright yellow glow. Blake took the moment she was distracted and kicked the scroll out of her hands. She was kicked back by the spy, right before Sun tackled her. The scroll slid towards the edge, "Grab the scroll, Seems someone thinks it's important."

The spy then spoke for the first time, "Get OFF!" She said as she head butted Sun. Her and Blake made a dash for the scroll as they were racing for the device. Until Grif made a bold move and dog piled the spy, pinning her to the ground.

Sun assisted Grif by making four holographic versions of himself to hold her down. Blake stopped to stare at Sun and Grif, Grif struggling as he is with four more bodies on him and trying to not crush the spy, was growing impatient. He looked up at Blake, "Stop staring and grab the fucking phone."

Sun couldn't hold on anymore and had collapsed to the ground, leaving Grif to weigh down the spy. The spy, to much surprise, threw Grif off her and aimed her whip straight at Blake. Sun had given a warning much too late, "Blake, watch out!" Sun yelled. There was silence, as the spy's mask crumpled off revealing a normal face of a teenage girl.

The stand off grew more intense as Blake narrowed down her vision, "Ilia." Blake said.

Grif remembered that name from before when the hooded faunus men came, But Sun was asleep. Sun got up and had a question, "Wait, you know her? But she doesn't even look like a f-aargh!" He cried as Ilia shot her whip at his shoulder.

Blake grew concern for her friend, "Sun!" She screamed.

The faunus spy, Ilia, grew red and orange spots, "Give it to me."

Blake knew that Ilia wouldn't hurt her, "No." But she wasn't prepared for what happened next. Her friend raised her whip into the air and before it came down she crouched and closed her eyes. When she heard the whip crack she expected to feel pain or anything stinging, but nothing. When she opened her eyes Grif was standing in front of her with a crater of burnt flesh and a hole in his chest. He stood there for a few moments before he too fell to the ground and landed on his stomach. She cried as another friend fell trying to help her.

Her friend's colors changed from bright colors, to cool calm colors as she too saddened by the double kill. She stifled back tears as she left saying, "You shouldn't have come back." She struck the ground creating a smoke screen, leaving without a trace.

Blake turned to her injured friends, "Sun! Grif!" They fell close to each other. Sun only suffered severe injuries to his shoulder but there was no way to determine how bad is was. However, Grif was a different story there was a hole where his burnt flesh was wide and still burning. She saw no hope that he'd make it, even if help arrived, fortunately it did.

Doc climbed up the building and threw his medical bag up, "Blake Belladonna, how can I help?" Doc asked.

She grabbed Doc's hand and led him towards Sun, "How is he Doc? Please tell me, is Sun going to be okay?"

Doc did a quick scan to show that the whip put his body in critical condition. His shoulder was only slightly hurt however his chest, where the whip actually hit, suffered the biggest. The whip hit him between a heart beat causing his cardiovascular system to fail. (Basically means his heart stopped beating.) Doc grabbed a rebreather and put the mouth around Sun's allowing oxygen into his body. He pushed against Sun's chest to restart his heart and give it a boost. He repeated the process again, and again...and again, so far nothing. Doc was about to lose a patient he was not willing to lose, he was running out of options. Doc began smashing Sun's chest with his hands, "C'mon!" he yelled, "You don't get to die on me." He bashed his chest harder and harder, he didn't want to have another patient die, he bashed once more. But this last bash was different, before he dropped his arms down a purplish glow was glowing from his hands. He gave it one last hit, and an explosion of purple cloud surrounded everyone, little crosses could be seen from them. Suddenly Sun began to breathe on his own, and his heart beated once more. Satisfied with his achievement he stopped for a moment only to remember Grif.

He turned to check on Grif but Blake held him back, "I'm sorry Doc, I I I couldn't do anything." She was crying in Doc's chest and feared that she'd lost someone like a friend. Doc held her in a hug and cried onto her head releasing all his tears.

Sadly someone interrupted this touchy moment, "*cough cough* What are you two blubbering about?" The voice asked.

Doc responded to the familiar voice, "We just lost Grif, our friend. One who will never see again."

Doc and Blake turned around to see Grif sitting on his but relaxing, "What do you mean, I'm not dead."

Blake and Doc stood there with open mouths, "Grif! How are you alive?"

Grif shrugged as he got up, "Beats me, let's get out of here, I have feeling someone else is watching us."

Early in the morning in the large house in Menagerie, a group of teenagers stood next to their faunus friend who was in recovery. Sun had just gotten up only to see his friends, "Blake?"

Grif hadn't slept the whole night, mainly because Doc used him as a transfusion for Sun's loss of blood. Grif looked toward Blake to hear her response, she had her head down in shame. Yet, she still communicated with them, "This...is why guys. This is why I left them all behind."

Sun was confused what happened, "What are you...wait! Where am I?" He looked around the room.

Blake stood up to face her friends, "I am done seeing my friends hurt because of me."

Grif tried helping Sun out, "Blake..."

However, Blake wasn't finished, "Shut up! Do you think I like being alone? Everyday...everyday I think about them! Ruby, Weiss, Yang, Church...they were my friends. I loved them like I never thought I could love anybody. And I hope they hate me for leaving."

Doc had to ease her down, "You don't mean that."

Blake rose her voice again at Doc, "Yes, I do! Everyone thinks they can help me, but they can't. You all saw Ilia last night and she's not even the worse! No. No more. They're better off without me. I made my choices and I'll deal with the consequences because they belong to me."

Grif had to cheer her up his way, "Bull. Fucking. Shit. You think you're doing them a favor. So what if your friend hurt us, I'm still fighting, and so is Sun and Doc. And trust me, I'd take that bullet again, over and over if it meant standing up for a friend. And I bet that anyone would say the same damn thing. Make your own choice? Fine. But don't you dare think you can make our choices. Hell, if friends fight and get hurt for you, it's cause we say 'we got your back' and we mean it. So DO NOT push us back it hurts more than any ball buster there is." Grif saw Blake looked at the opposite direction of him, "If it stops your whining, next time I meet that friend of yours, she's gonna say hello to my little friend." Grif said patting his Grifshot making Blake giggle a little.

Blake smiled at all her friends in the room, "My heroes."

All was fine until the paper door fell with Blake's Mom behind it, followed by Blake's Dad. Blake's Mom instantly made an excuse, "Oh, oh would you look at that. He's awake. Thank goodness."

Ghira slapped his forehead in disappointment, "Kali, please."

Blake was embarrassed again, "Mom!"

Grif stood at attention as if it were Sarge, Doc was looking at two specific vials. Sun was the only one to respond, "Hey, Mrs. B."

Blake now had a question about the interruption, "What are you doing here?"

Kali tried to sound as cheerful as possible, "Well, sweetheart, your father needed to speak with the four of you."

Ghira came in and dropped the phone Blake had taken from her friend last night. He had terrible news, "I'm afraid you were right to be suspicious."

"What do you mean?" Blake asked.

Ghira responded with his worried voice which was the same as his normal voice. "Adam Taurus is planning to overthrow the leader of the White Fang." He began, "And stage a full scale attack on Haven Academy. It would be the Fall of Beacon all over again."

Everyone lowered their heads for a moment, until Doc/O'malley said something, "Unless we give them a taste of Oblivion."

Blake got up and made a new proposition, "No. We're not going to destroy the White Fang. We're going to take it back."

Later as Grif and Doc were loading up Doc told Grif something shocking to Grif. He whispered to him, "Hey, Grif. I have to tell you something."

Grif leaned over to Doc, "Yeah, what is it?"

Doc made a confession, "When I performed the transfusion, I sampled yours and Sun's blood for research and came across something. I have discovered your genome was changed somehow overtime." Grif tilted his head unknowing the answer, "Do you understand Grif? You aren't human anymore. You're a faunus."

Grif was even more confused than ever, "What?"

Before Doc got a word through a strange light surrounded them and they were surrounded in an armory. They then heard a voice like God, "My name is Oum. And I understand you are friends of Church. He will need your help but you need proper weaponry. Look around pick what you like. And if you are still wondering why you are a faunus, that would be me. I fear you will need those power for goodness to be done."

Doc saw variations of weapons, but came across two beautiful items to his liking. A knight's shoulder pad with a gauntlet and arm protection alongside a Iron Man looking hand propulsor. He chose them and his rocket launcher was transformed into the shoulder pad and his scanner changed into the hand propulsor.

Grif was satisfied with his Grifshot and didn't require any other weapon at all. Until he saw a large handled axe that was seven feet tall and would make the Grifshot more badass.

When they completed their choices, the armory had disappeared and they were back at Blake's house with their new gear. Blake came rushing in with everyone else behind her, "We heard a noise. Is everything okay?" She saw their gear and froze instantly.

Grif just gave his casual explanation, "We're cool. One question, who's Oum?"

Ghira went open mouth, "My Lord."
