Author's note: just by the title you could tell, a lemon is going to happen. Involves the parts from the three chapters leading up to the fight scene, against the Neclavea, correct my spelling later. But hope you guys enjoy. Also no one is getting knocked up.

If you don't like lemons, don't read this chapter, trust me; there will be smut.

The team, now consisting of Ruby, Church, Qrow, Locus, Jaune, Pyrrah, Nora, and Ren were now together. Alongside them by their campfire, Qrow had his side bandaged up, while Locus had his head, both arms, his left leg and his ribs in bandages. Everyone wanted an answer as they all sat on different logs, Qrow and Locus on one, Jaune and Pyrrah on another, Nora and Ren on another, and Church and Ruby on one more. It was about time for some answers.

Qrow finished a swig from his flask, "Really? No questions?" He asked.

Jaune responded first, "Of course we have questions, this is just...a lot to take in." He said as he stared at the flame.

Qrow understood what he meant, "Sure, of course." He said.

Ruby asked the first question, "So these...maidens...They're these powerful fighters that don't need Dust to use magic?" Ruby asked.

"Yeah." Qrow answered.

Nora was next to ask, "And there are four of them?" She questioned.

"Yup, always." He added.

Ren asked next, "Which means that, whenever one of them dies, the power transfers to someone...a female...that they care about?" Ren asked.

"Whoever was in their thoughts last, important distinction." Qrow corrected. "Best option, it's someone we can trust. Regardless, their souls become combined, in a way." He finished.

"And that's what you were trying to do to Pyrrah?" He blurted out, clearly frustrated about nearly losing his current girlfriend. "The night the tower fell. You trying to turn her into one of them." He accused.

Qrow didn't respond instantly, "The previous Fall maiden, Amber, had been attacked. She was young, inexperienced. And her assailant, who we now know as Cinder somehow managed to steal some of her power, but no all of it. We were afraid that if we didn't do something, the rest would go to her as well." He finished.

Jaune was still angered, "So you forced it on Pyrrah." He added the blowing accusation.

Pyrrah put a hand on Jaune's shoulder, "Jaune, they didn't force anything on me, I made my own choice after they explained it to me." She said as she rubbed his shoulder.

He put his head down, and left the log to walk away from the group to cool off. Pyrrah followed after him to help make sure he didn't do anything rash.

Church asked the next question, "So the prick, Tyrian, why was he after Rubes?" He asked as he focused.

Qrow sighed, "Well, she definitely painted a target on her back for what she did at Beacon. Having silver eyes is a rare trait, y'know?" He said, "And the fact she's someone able to use them, seems to hahave upset some powerful people. Not many know about the silver eyes. But those that do aren't very happy that one has surfaced. That's why I've been keeping an eye on you, in order to make sure you were safe." He said wielding her flask in his hand talking to Ruby and the group now, "All of you." He included.

Locus sat up to add on to his answer, "That's why he insisted I tag along with you kids. As for what's going on...it's complicated. He couldn't travel with you because of superstitions of his name and truth is crows are a sign of bad luck. Gets really unfortunate for the people you travel with but it comes in handy if you get into a fight." He said as he leaned back against the log.

Church really wanted to understand more, "Can we not speak in riddles, please? Just tell us why the fuck we're here, already." He demanded.

Qrow sighed again, "Would you calm down, you're stressing me out kid." He asked as Church cracked his back by moving his shoulders, "Not many people are super religious these days, this world's been around for a long time, long enough that people created dozens of Gods. But if you believe Ozpin, two of them are actually real." He said as he began a long tail.

He started off as the fire illustrated his words.

[2 minutes later, sorry if you were expecting the whole story. Just want to keep my promise to finish this before Saturday.]

"...And that is how humanity came to be." He finished.

Ren still needed more information, "But...what does that have to do with us? " He asked.

"Well, that's the kicker," Qrow began again. "See the four gifts to mankind: knowledge, creation, destruction, and choice...aren't just metaphorical. Each of them exist in a physical form, left behind by the Gods before they abandoned Remnant. And each of them is extraordinarily powerful. If someone were to collect all four, they'd be able to change the world. That's exactly what the enemy wants, The Huntsman Academies were created to train generations of humanity's protectors, but they also serve another purpose; guarding the relics. When Ozpin's predecessors founded the schools, he built them around the relics to act as a fortress. Not only would they be easier to defend, but they would be constantly be surrounded by trained warriors. The hope was that hiding the relics would keep mankind from using them against itself. And of course, keeping them out of her reach." He finished, "So, yeah, there's that."

Ruby then continued to ask, "Her? You mean Salem?" Ruby asked.

Qrow nodded, "That's right, Not much is known about her and quite frankly that's not what matters. What matters right now is that she wants the relics. And if she gets them, it's not going to end well."

[Minutes later]

Church understood everything, why Ruby was a big deal, why they wouldn't cause a big deal about the Maidens. Even the way that Salem was running her operation and how Hargrove had something to gain from it. He didn't understand one thing however, he needed another answer.

He looked at Qrow, "If Ozpin wants all this to be a secret and he's trying to cover it up, why did he accept me into his school? I don't understand." He said.

Qrow had just another story from Ozpin for that, "My niece says you fell from the sky." He started, "Ozpin believed people who fall from the sky are spirit walkers, people who've seen the other side. According to Ozpin, legend says that spirit walkers were given a second chance from another life to do more. They were given the same knowledge, creation, destruction, and choice as humanity but with another difference, the choice could make a big impact on everything. They could choose to protect this world and be the angels sent to protect the innocent, or the demons made to slaughter all those who stood in their way. They could save or destroy the world. That's why Ozpin technically adopted you and brought you into the school." He finished as he took another swig.

Church already thought of the next plan, "So we head to Haven, in attempt to prevent another attack? Am I getting this right?" Church asked as Qrow nodded. "Alright well, I'm doing something I haven't done in a while which is take a bath." He said as he walked away from the group towards a clear fresh pond with no grass, leaves, or algae in it.

[Several minutes later]

Everyone went off to their sleeping bags as Church was still soaking in the water, he felt so peaceful, given the weight that was dumped on him. He needed this time alone, to clear his thoughts to focus. He was unaware someone was watching him.

(With Ruby)

She hopped into her sleeping bag but found it much more harder to sleep than before. She was tossing and turning, and kept on making light mumbles, luckily the group was already asleep. What was unexpected was the heat between her legs.

She got out of her sleeping bag, afraid she would burn within it, had she stayed in there, and went for a small walk. Ruby walked in no specific direction, but her body found what it needed.

She saw Church as he stood stretching in the water, watching his muscular back and then looking at his tight strong ass. She was blushing so furiously, she became wet down under, she wondered if she could blush anymore. And then, it happened.

Church turned around as his eyes were closed for stretching out tired muscles that ached from the battle. She stared at his wet hair in his face, then onto his chiseled abs, and last his massive shaft. She placed a hand over her mouth to avoid moaning as she failed to realize that one of her hands were trying to satisfy her. She couldn't help but let a few gasp escape her mouth, although amazing as it felt, she needed the real thing.

She stared back at Church behind a tree, to see he was sitting in the water as he had his back towards her up against the rock. Ruby began to undress as she moved slowly to make sure she could surprise Church. She tiptoed across the grass, trying to avoid making anything on the ground snap, crumble, or snap. She was just next to Church as she thought of how to surprise him in the best way. She blushed as she slowly sank into the water just inches away from his 10 inches of pure man.

She slowly reached for his cock as she was about to grab it; she grew slower as she came closer to it. She closed her eyes as she closed her hand, she opened them and couldn't believe she was actually holding it in her hands. She became overwhelmed by her new action, she started to stroke it gently, careful not to startle him. She moved slowly as she bit her lip, underwater his dick began to feel hard in her hands, what does it feel like above water?

She became so enticed she didn't realize he was staring at her, "Ruby...what are you doing?" He asked slowly while he began to blush as well.

She froze as they both stared at each other with reddened cheeks forming, "I...uh...well...um," she hesitated before looking down avoiding eye contact as she explained, "I...I...I just...really, really missed you and I...don't know what came over me...I..." She said as she was about to tear up.

Church hugged her as she became overwhelmed, "Rubes, I missed you too." He said as he rubbed her back. He then got an idea as she eased into the comfort of his arms, he kissed her neck bit by bit. She shuddered on the first neck kiss but then started to moan in pleasure with each moment his lips touched her skin.

Church then got another idea, he placed his hands under Ruby's thighs as he lifted her legs over his shoulders. He placed her back against a large stone, conveniently next to the water. She stared down at Church as he smiled slightly at her, he closed his eyes as he began to lick her opening. She threw her head back as she felt his cool, wet tongue enter her and circle her opening. She put one arm against the boulder and the other on his head to keep him steady as he continued to lick.

He stopped as he decided she was already wet enough due to his saliva and her juices. He let her slide easily down as they both together meeting eye to eye. He put his hands on her smooth butt as he positioned himself to enter her opening with his member. He steadily edged his head as Ruby clenched her hands on the back of his neck as she gasped, he didn't move for about 7 seconds. He then moved slowly in as she tightened her grip, but had gained a look of pure excitement in her eyes. Her walls closed in on his cock as he forced himself not to release yet, not this soon. He looked back at Ruby for a split moment as he began to suck and kiss her still growing breasts. He started to move at an average speed as they were both becoming adapted to the new sensation.

He was unaware Ruby had something in mind as he became dazed by the love they were sharing. Ruby smirked as she kicked against the large stone as she forced Church on his back on rock around the stone. Church grew wide eyed as she began to hop on his lap, he closed his hand into a fist and smashed the rock making it crack. The way she was moving, mixed with the fact that Church's hardened dick couldn't get any more big, he was close. He couldn't hold, "R-R-Ruby, I'm gonna..." He started to say.

Ruby was getting close too, "Me too. Just a little more..." She said as they bit their lips.

She was moving her hips so fast Church wasn't sure how she was human, with that much power. Five seconds later, they climaxed together in unison, as she fell limp on Church, both panting from the huge relief they both experienced. As they laid there, the water steaming and their warm bodies hot and wet. Church hadn't remembered, even in his former life, the last time he felt this much pleasure before in his life.

No more words were needed as they went off to their sleeping area, Church sleeping in the branches of a tree and Ruby in her sleeping bag, nothing could ruin this moment tonight.

[Morning]

The entire team woke up to the sound of birds chirping, as each opened their eyes slowly. Ren was the first one to wake up instantly, "We should probably get moving." He suggested as he sighed.

Jaune woke up the same, "Yeah, yeah." He responded.

The entire group looked over at the sound of Qrow coughing to see that his bandaged blood had turned purple. He started to cough up blood and as he looked down at his hand, his blood was turning purple. Ruby was the first one to see the blood on his hand as her uncle stared up at her. He tried to comfort her a little, "Well...that's unfortunate."

[Later in the afternoon]

The team was walking through some sort of twisted forest as Locus used his sniper as a crutch. Church and Jaune carrying Qrow in a makeshift stretcher, as Ruby tried to ease Qrow's mind, "Just...hold on Uncle Qrow." She pleaded.

Even though he wasn't speaking to anyone, Church heard Qrow mumble, "Tai...she's not coming...Tai." He attempted to warn.

Jaune knew this was bad, "He's getting worse." He said.

Church had to hold on to whatever hope was left, "How much further?" He asked.

"We've gotta be close." Nora urged.

Ren shook his head, "Without the map, there's no way of knowing. But I feel like we're close to something." He said as he stopped to run ahead.

There was a post sign with different locations posted on it, "What is it?" Ruby asked.

On the sign read the names of different villages, and one scratched off. The first thing Nora saw was Mistral, "Hey, hey, Mistral. We're on the right path." She then saw the scratched off sign, "Oh," She had realized.

"Does it say how far?" Pyrrah asked from behind the group.

"No," Ren responded, "And it looks like the path takes us up through the mountains." He said as they began to regroup.

Jaune had to be the realist, "Guys, I don't think all of us can make that climb." He said as referring to Qrow.

Ruby walked up to the group, "Okay, well, what about this place?" She asked as she pointed to a sign labeled 'Kuroyuri.' clearly crossed off. "Kuro-Kuroyuri, can we get help there?" She asked again.

Ren balled up his fist, "That village was destroyed years ago." He said.

Jaune joined the conversation, "But if it takes us around the mountains, it's the best bet we got." He said.

Ren insisted on another, "It will take too long." He urged another path.

Pyrrah included her thoughts, "The town would have had a doctor right? Or maybe we could scavenge for medicine." She pleaded.

"Right." Church nodded.

Ren shook his head, "We're not going to find anything. We just have to press on." He ordered as they continued.

Church walked next to Ruby, "Ren, why the hell are acting like a-" thankfully his choice of words were stopped.

Nora cut in, "We can split up. Ren, Locus, and I can cut through the mountains while you guys take Qrow around through the village." She suggested.

Jaune was about to reject, "No we're supposed to stick together. We keep each other safe." He implied.

Church knew Qrow's condition was getting worse, "Nora's right, we can't play it safe. If they make it to Mistral they'll send for help, if they don't then we can see the land up ahead. They have the high ground so they'll know where else we can go." He said as he Nora put her hand on Ren.

Qrow started to cough more, when Jaune knew what had to be done. The teams shared a quick farewell, and Church hugged Locus, something no one expected him to do. He nodded before saying, "Watch out for them, okay." He said as they parted.

Locus cleared his voice, "You know I will." Locus said as he, Ren and Nora went left, leaving Ruby, Church, Qrow, Jaune and Pyrrah to go right.

[Minutes later in the Village of Kuroyuri]

Ren was correct, the chances of finding anything in this town was completely hopeless. The place couldn't have been described any other way besides a ghost town. Church looked around while Pyrrah and Ruby had their weapons out and ready. Church was at aa loss for words, "Holy shit." He finally managed to get out.

Ruby had the same expression, "Come on." She urged as Church's eyes moved back and forth. This place had no signs so there was no way of knowing where a hospital was, "Any of these places look like a pharmacy?" She asked.

Church nor Jaune could tell, "It's honestly hard to tell." Jaune said.

Pyrrah tried shifting the subject, "Ren really didn't wish to come here, did he?" Pyrrah asked.

Church shook his head, "Didn't look like he did." He said.

Ruby wanted to know more, "Does anyone know why?" She asked.

Church sighed as he glanced around, "I might have a pretty good theory." He said as they went to put Qrow against a tree.

[Minutes after searching]

The group fanned out, searching for just something regarding medical care, band-aids, painkillers, anything at all. All they had to show for was empty hands, "Anything?" Pyrrah asked.

Jaune shook his head as Church hung his in shame, "Nothing?" He replied.

Ruby wasn't going to give up, "We should get back to Qrow." She suggested.

In the distance Church heard an ominous growl, the first reaction was to stand between it and Ruby. Ruby had to calm him down, "It's far off." She said trying to ease Church.

Of course he knew that, "I know, but Locus is still out there, with Nora and Ren." She said.

All Ruby could say now was an apology, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry I dragged you all into this." She apologized.

Church tried to comfort her, "Ruby, do you think these guys are doing this for no reason? Hell, we lost, we lost Vale, we lost Ozpin, we lost the team. But do you think that we'd be here if it weren't for you? Rubes if you hadn't found me I don't know where I'd be. You continue to give me the strength to fight on and push forward, thank you." He said as he started to pull Ruby into a small hug. However something big was closing in on them something huge, something deadly.
