"Shit!" Jaune shouted as he dodged another punch from the chimera and aimed the tonfas at its chest and began firing off the bullets. The beast roared in anger before rolling back and whapping its tail forward multiple times. It was fast.
But Pyrrha was faster.
Jaune easily blocked the tail stabs coming at him from the chimera. The chimera cried in anger. It sent another tail whip towards Jaune but this time he dodged it by spinning and pivoted his foot forward and smashed one of his tonfas on the beasts head. But he wasn't done. He decided to take a page out of two fist fighting huntsmen he knew.
He sent an uppercut at the creature before it could recover and shot off a few shots before hitting the creature with the tonfas in the head so it couldn't recover as fast. He kept up the barrage of mostly wild hits coming with the mixed in shots and all the creature could do was shout in pain with every hit.
Then hit the beasts chin upward and unloaded all of his bullets into its chest and then kicked it back. It landed in its back as it groaned in pain.
Jaune couldn't help but smile.
'Pyrrhas lessons are really coming in handy,' He thought cheerfully. 'Maybe I can do this,' He thought excitedly.
The chimera looked up and gave him an extremely hateful glare. Then before Jaune could blink it shot an arm forward and Jaune got ready to block but to his shock it transformed into a tentacle and wrapped around his torso. Then the chimera pulled him forward.
'Or maybe not,' Jaune thought in a panic as he held his tonfas up.
The Chimera reared its other arm back as it added scales to the skin.
Seriously how many species went into this thing!
Jaune brought his tonfas up to block as the fist, flew at him. Jaune's aura had taken most of the damage so as the fist, collided with his tonfas.
The tonfas weren't so lucky. They shattered on contact.
The blow sent him flying through a wall.
"Yeah definitely not," Jaune groaned. "And now I'm weaponless," He continued as he slowly sat up. "What am I going to do now,"
"Hello Jaune,"
"Maybe we can be helpful,"
Jaune looked up slowly and looked towards the voices that had spoken.
His eyes widened at who he saw.

(Opening end)
"Freckles?" Jaune asked allowed as he saw the familiar gun and a blue metal backpack like objectnext to it.
"Hello," The gun said speaking.
"I'm here too," Spoke the capsule in a female voice.
"Sheila?" Jaune asked. "I thought you were a suit of armor,"
"I am," Sheila spoke with humor in her voice.
"Ok then," Jaune said.
"RRROOOAAAARRRR!"
"Jaune, quickly grab Freckles and put me on your back!" Sheila said. Jaune didn't need to be told twice. He ran over and he grabbed Sheila.
"Oh this is more of a chest plate," He realized. He took of the chest armor he was wearing and put Sheila on. "Now what?" He asked Sheila.
"Need time to adjust for measurements,"
"How much time?"
Crash!
Jaune looked up to see the chimera with the head of a rhino as he rammed through the wall and glared at Jaune.
"30 seconds,"
"Don't think I have that long," Jaune whimpered.
"Please remove all forms of armor and boots,"
Why the boots?!
The chimera leapt forward to attack Jaune.
"Aw man!" Acting quickly, he grabbed Freckles and rolled out of the way as the chimera passed him and he aimed Freckles and began firing. Only for the trigger to lock on him.
"What the hell!" Jaune cried looking at the robotic gun.
"Locked into captain Cabooses signature, unless there is an emergency," Freckles explained. The chimera's tail slithered toward Jaune to strike him forcing him to block.
"Pretty sure this counts!" Jaune cried as he removed the arm rerebaces, and vambraces and chucked them at the chimera.
"Analyzing argument," Freckles said. "30 seconds to process and give accurate answer,"
"Of course," Jaune shouted in frustration as he rolled in a circle while trying to take the oots off. The chimera cocked its head to the right looking down at Jaune in curiosity. The the chimera tried to swipe him. "Gah!" Jaune cried as he began rolling in a different direction. Only to tee the chimera try to swipe him again. "Gah!" He cried once again as he rolled in a different direction. This process continued in a comical fashion with them in chibi form.
"Will you stop it!" Jaune shouted as he rolled out of the way of a swipe and glared at the chimra with giant angry white eyes.
"Aaaaahhhhhhh!" The creature said and that's when Jaune realized what was happening.
It had been having fun.
Jaune looked at it curiously. Then he gave a small smile of his own. Slowly he reached out to the chimera. The chimera noticing this began growling.
"No no its ok," Jaune reassured. He slowly he approached it while the creature looked hesitant. But slowly it lowered its head to Jaune.
But before they could make contact it screeched out in pain. Jaune backed up in alarm.
"What the hell are you doing?" Jaune turned to see the soldier holding the button down. "Kill him,"
The chimera roared in rage and glared at Jaune in anger.
No not anger.
Pain.
Jaune eyed the collar around the creature's neck.
'That collar,' He thought in anger. 'You're as much a prisoner here as Caboose,'
Jaune whirled around on the man. The chimera leapt in front of him.
The coward.
"Sheila how much more time,"
"Analyzation complete,"
"Activate," Jaune commanded.
"You got it," She said. And the transformation began. The chestplate released metals inside and the armor began to cover the entirety of Jaunes body. Jaune removed the helmet but kept the face mask as the helmet activated and covered his face.
"Let's do this," Jaune said as he aimed Freckles up at the chimera.
"Argument accepted," Freckles said.
"Perfect," Jaune said. Then he pulled the trigger.
And nothing happened
"Need 30 seconds too release locks," Freckles.
"Oh come on!" Jaune shouted in comical anger before putting the gun on his back and he and the chimera lunged at each other.
UMPR
'That giant ice spike has Percy and Weiss written all over it,' Naruto thought as he eyed the pillar of ice that destroyed the west wall of the building. It had appeared about ten minutes ago and the remains of some robot of some kind could be seen. 'Ask them about it later,' He said making a mental note before running forward and giving his undivided attention back to Neji.
Neji ducked as Naruto swung the gunblade at him and sent his foot out to trip him. Acting quickly Naruto slammed the blade down and used the momentum to flip him over Neji to avoid the brown haired teens attack. He backed up as Neji rolled away and the two charged at each other once again.
Naruto stabbed forward repeatedly but Neji was able to push the sword away from him every time. Realizing this Naruto jumped back and aimed the blade behind him and fired. The momentum sent him forward at Neji at a high speed as he held his foot out to kick his opponent.
Neji rolled with the hit and grabbed Naruto's leg and lifted him over him to slam him on the ground but Naruto was ready and he held an arm out to brace himself and he kicked his free foot straight at Neji forcing him to let go of Naruto.
Deciding to get some distance Naruto lifted himself off the ground with his hand and fired a shot allowing him to gain some distance.
'Now I see why Ruby does this,' He thought as he flipped to land on his feet. 'It is extremely handy,'
He looked at Neji and he saw the teen smirking at him. Then he revealed the chain in his hand.
'What?' Naruto thought. He followed the chain and saw that it was wrapped around the gunblade. He looked back at Neji and saw him getting into a familiar position. 'Oh crap,'
"Rotation!" Neji shouted and he began spinning.
Naruto had no other choice.
He released the gunblade and watched it go flying towards the dome of spinning aura and then being hurled towards a crate that it stuck itself in.
Neji stopped spinning and looked at Naruto.
'Great,' Naruto mumbled internally. 'Just great,'
"What will you do now?" Neji questioned with a smirk.
Naruto thought about his options.
'Got no choice then,'
He put his fists up and he saw Neji smirk.
'Gonna have to mix it up,' Naruto thought. "1," He whispered and all of his senses increased. He wouldn't add 2 unless he absolutely had too.
Then the two ran at each other.
Naruto jumped into the air and tried to kick Neji but he managed to block the barrage of mid-air kicks. After landing Neji thrusted a palm forward and Naruto barely dodged it before sending his own fist towards attacker. Neji seeing this blocked just in time but Naruto wasn't done. He quickly sent a kick to Neji side. Neji could only increase his aura in that area to defend.
He quickly brought his palm back and thrusted forward again and Naruto could only back up slightly to lessen the damage of the attack as the two slid back from each other before going at it again. The two stomped their feet down to solidify their stand and the two sent a barrage of punches, and palms at each other only for them to be blocked or dodged by their opponent.
Deciding to take a chance Neji ducked down and went for a leg swipe to trip Naruto. Naruto was unprepared and went falling as Neji righted himself and got ready to deliver a devastating attack to the soon to be downed boy.
'Not gonna be that easy,' Naruto thought. Then he pushed his left arm onto the ground to steady him as he swung his legs up and began spinning while trying to kick Nehi who had no choice but to step backwards at the oncoming spinning legs. Taking a chance Naruto flipped and landed on his feet and blocked as he saw Neji send another palm thrust forward and blocked another as Nejis sent two more as they moved backwards before Naruto decided to go on the offensive. He sent his own fists forward but Neji deflected his hits easily before he sent another palm forward but Naruto blocked once again and twisted the arms so neither could move them.
Then he sent his free fist forward at the same time Neji sent another palm thrust forward. The two attacks collided and the two struggled for dominance.
Under his mask Naruto couldn't help but smile savagely.
This was exciting!
An opponent that got the blood pumping.
And a hand to hand one no less!
For Naruto this was like going down memory lane. And to see that Neji was actually excited for a fight was even better.
He knew he had a mission but he was going to enjoy this for all he could.
Taking a chance, he released the twisted arm and lifted his feet to kick off of Neji and back flipped in the air and landed in a crouch as the two eyed each other.
'He's definitely gotten better,' Naruto thought.
Neji rushed forward forcing Naruto back on the defensive as he stepped backwards while blocking and deflecting most of Neji's attacks. Then Neji leaned back and thrusted both palms forward. Seeing this Naruto leaned backwards ans watched the palms go over his body before reaching up and grabbing them. He then twisted and prepared hsis body as he kicked Neji's feet from under him and threw him over his shoulder and slamming him on the ground.
'Knocking him out is the best course of action,' Naruto thought. He lifted his foot and intended to kick Neji in the temple.
Neji was not letting that happen.
Acting quickly, he flipped himself up with his back and sent a kick at Naruto's face. Naruto could only move his move his head so his headgear took the brunt of the attack. Naruto released Neji and recovered as he eyed him his now standing opponent once again.
'It wouldn't be fun if it was easy,' Naruto thought.
The he leapt forward as Neji took a stance ready for the oncoming attack.
UMPR
Percy's breathing had gotten better.
That attack had taken more out of him then he cared to admit.
'That's what I get for not using it for so long,' He thought to himself.
"Are you good to fight," Weiss asked as she crouched next to him behind their make shift cover. After he had used his ability and showed that he was currently vulnerable Grif told Weiss to get him to cover. Since she was a weapon down it made her and him liabilities to the fight.
It didn't help that the second spider droid was using a machine gun instead of a charging cannon like the last one. And there were a lot of knights between them and it. Some of which were reloading the droid when it ran out of bullets.
"Give me 2 minutes," Percy said. "Then we can go for round two," He joked.
"Percy?" Weiss asked looking at him. "What was that?"
"An awesome combination is what it was," Percy chuckled.
"That's not what I meant," She said with an edge in her voice. The Dust
He knew this was coming.
"I know that there are people out there who infuse Dust into their bodies," She said. "But I've never seen it charge through their veins," She continued. "Why did you do this to yourself?"
Percy looked away from her. Weiss stared at him and saw the sad expression on his face. Then it struck her.
"You didn't, did you," She whispered.
He sighed.
Weiss covered her mouth in shock. Then she reached out and gently turned his head to look at her.
"Who would do this to you," She asked.
Percy stared at her for a moment. Then he smiled.
"Looks like I'm ready to fight," He said as he stood up. Weiss looked at him.
She wasn't done with this conversation.
"Here," Percy said as handed here the chain and spike.
"What about you?" She asked.
"I got this," He sword twirling the sword in his hand. "You guys handle the spider droid," He then eyed the spider droid. "I'll clear you a path,"
"How can we beat it,"
"Glyph plus Grif," He said. Weiss caught on immediately. She nodded her head in understanding.
"Alright let's do this," Percy said. Then he ran forward. Weiss ran behind him.
"Grif, pink guy, your with Weiss!" Percy said.
"It's light-ish red!" Donut shouted as the two followed behind him.
Percy jumped into the knights while Weiss created solid glyphs for her and the others to run on so they could go straight over the knights and straight for the droid who was getting reloaded.
"Donut take care of the bots," Grif said.
"On it," Donut said in a cheerful voice. He landed and began fighting the bots. He would block their attacks at him and shoot them at point blank range as they attacked him
"Grif on my mark do that attack from earlier," Weiss said.
"Got it ice Queen," Grif said as he pulled out the proper grenades. He threw the ice and fire dust grenade into the air and the cloud appeared directly above the droid.
"Zeroin custom stance, Grif style" Theta spoke.
"Don't call me that!" She said as she created a large glyph that appeared under the cloud. "Now!"
"Thunderstorm," Grif said and threw the lightning grenade into the cloud. And like before the lightning struck down but it went through the glyph and the attack was increased tenfold. There was a loud boom and the others went flying backwards. From the shockwave. The other robots near the strike were short-circuited by the lighting.
"Well," Grif groaned as he got up. "That happened,"
"Oh my ears my sensitive ears!" Donut cried.
"We're not done yet," Weiss said as she slowly got up. Two glyphs of that magnitude so sson together was taxing. But she couldn't stop yet. Not until they got Caboose.
She would be lying if she said it didn't bother her that they couldn't tell the military to help them but she respected their wishes.
It didn't mean she wasn't going to ask questions later.
"Alright let's help water boy," Grif muttered as he turned around. Only to stop and raise an eyebrow at what he saw. Weiss followed his line of sight and could only stare.
Percy had the sword swung over his shoulder as he stood there amidst a pile of destroyed knights. He was the only thing standing.
"Man that was a work out," He said with an exaggerated tone before looking over at the others. "So what next?"
Weiss could only look at him in utter shock.
"When did you get so good with a sword?" Grif asked simply unaffected by the carnage. He had seen Carolina do worse.
Percy gained a far off look.
"Come on seaweed brain you can do better than that,"
"A long time ago," He answered as he gave a small smile.

Roxas threw two blades forward at Tucker who shot both of them in mid-air. Unfortunately for him he didn't see the other two chakrams just under them. They hit their mark.
Roxas turned around just in time to block an attack from Penny as she sent multiple swords flying at him. Roxas managed to deflect them all as the oncoming blades continued to attack.
'How the hell is she controlling these things?' Roxas thought. He realized that they were attached to metal wire but the movements were ridiculous. 'Does it have to do with her semblance?' He looked up just in time to see Tucker attempting to cut him he rolled out of the way. 'Questions for later then,'
He looked up to see Tucker charging forward at Penny. He was shooting and deflecting the blades away as he kept running forward to attack her directly.
'Damnit,' Roxas thought. He grabbed a chakram and threw it at one of her swords causing its direction to change towards Tucker. Seeing this the armored teen jumped back to avoid the sword.
He knew that Penny was an enemy in this situation but she was still Cabooses girlfriend.
"Whoa almost didn't see that one," Tucker said looking at Penny. "You're good,"
Penny blinked at him and for a brief moment she eyed Roxas with a questioning gaze.
'Can't have that,' Roxas thought. Then he threw another chakram at her intending to hurt her. She blocked it easily and he charged forward. He couldn't have her thinking he was on her side, that would lead to unwanted questions. Worst case scenario she realizes who's captured and discover he's a fugitive to her kingdom. Not really a good way to start a relationship.
So being enemies was the way to go.
He flipped in the air and attempted to drop kick the girl but she stepped back to avoid the attack. While he was getting his footing back she struck. She stepped up to him and attempted to grapple him but Roxas swung his arm around wildly to cut her with the chakram forcing her back.
Roxas got ready to strike again put Tucker landed between them.
"Hope you didn't forget me," He exclaimed. He stabbed at Roxas who blocked just in time and shot at Penny who dodged the bullets.
'This isn't getting me anywhere,' Roxas thought. 'The longer I stay with them the longer I'm away from rescuing Caboose,'
He stepped backwards to gain his baring's. He didn't see the crumbled brick. He stumbled backwards. Penny and Tucker saw it and took their chance.
Tucker aimed his pistol and emptied the magnum into his chest. Penny attacked next. She sent her blades from multiple angles as they chipped away at his aura. By the end of it he had none left for a proper shield.
Tucker didn't know that.
He looked up to see the armored swordmen bring down his sword. It cut threw his aura as well as his clothing and skin.
'Fuck this hurts,' Roxas thought as he fell over and felt the blood leave his body.

Carolina ducked down as Winter sent a falcon sized Nevermore at her. As it passed by she shot upward destroying it. She righted herself up in time to see Winter zooming towards her with her sword pointed at her. She blocked just in time and tried to uppercut the specialist but she was deflected by Winters shorter blade.
That wasn't going to stop her however. She sent a left roundhouse kick which was blocked by Winter but she didn't stop as she brought her leg slightly back before kicking it forward multiple times. Winter could only block and was unable to stop her from jumping off her other foot and spinning in the air before receiving a sidekick pushing her back. The white haired girl looked up just in time to duck as a yellow Dust flew over her.
She turned around and created a glyph and a beowolf appeared and took the brunt of the lightning attack created by the Dust Carolina had shot at her.
"Ok," Winter muttered. "My turn," Then she sped forward and began an onslaught of stabs and cuts at Carolina who managed to block them as she tried to get in a few of her own hits. The two fought close range as they both deflected each, others attacks all the while increasing in speed.
Soon they became a blur as they moved around the roof trying to gain the upper hand on each other but to no prevail.
The did a spin as they both backed up their weapons still trained on each other.
"Just like old times huh," Carolina said with a smirk on her face. Winter glared but slowly the smallest hint of a smile came onto her face as well.
"Indeed," She agreed. The two charged at each other once again. As Winter ran forward she created glyphs that trailed behind her and blue and white colored grimm of all shapes and sizes appeared and followed behind her.
"Summoning's is cheating!" Carolina shouted as she ran forward. She leapt into the air and fired the remaining fire and lighting Dust spikes she had loaded and fired a few regular bullets creating a chain reaction as they took out half of the summoning's. She landed and looked around.
"Since when was fighting supposed to be fair!" Winter said as she appeared behind Carolina and stabbed forward. She didn't see her wepon trained on her as she fired a few shots off both taking damage. Winter from the shots and Carolina from the stabs.
"Don't use my words against me," Carolina hissed as she began fighting off the summoning's that attempted to attack her destroying them with relative ease.
Winter looked at Carolina and for a brief moment an image appeared in her head. It was a memory.
It was her and a girl with long red hair and green eyes. The red haired girl was saying something to the younger Winter with a smirk on her face and Winter giving her a scathing look. It shifted to more scenes with the two girls from interacting with each other. From training, too arguing to the other giving the other a smug look while the other looked pissed.
"Why?" Winter spoke.
Carolina blew the head off the last summoning and turned around to look at Winter hearing her question.
"Why did you betray us," Winter asked. "You were one of the best," She continued in a hollow voice. "You were a great fighter, Weiss saw you as a sister," She said. "You were…you were my best friend,"
Carolina remained silent.
"What happened to the others," Winter began. "Was a tragedy," She continued. "But that's no excuse for you to go rogue!"
The next image was Winter next to the general along with a group of soldiers looking at a horrifying scene.
There were bodies everywhere and Carolina was standing in the center covered in blood as she held another soldier by the neck.
Winter looked up at her and Carolina could see the look of desperation in her eyes.
"WHY DID YOU KILL ALL THOSE PEOPLE!"
UMPR
Roxas looked up slowly.
'Yep still bleeding,' He turned to see that Tucker and Penny were still fighting. Did they know he was dying?
'Probably,' He mentally groaned.
Was this how it was going to end for him.
'Well there are worse ways to go,' He thought. He could feel his vision blurring. 'Hopefully the others can get Caboose, though that was technically my job,' He chuckled. He could see a light in the distance. He slowly began to make his way to it.
Then everything changed.
He found himself in an all-white room. He looked around and realized he was sitting at a table.
"It's been a while since you've come here,"
Roxas turned to see someone senting across from him. It was a firl about his age.
She had blonde hair that reached her shoulders and blue eyes. She gave a small smile before walking over to him. She was wearing a white lace dress that reached her mid-thigh and no shoes.
'Like Naruto,' He thought.
"Looks like your still mostly mimicking emotions," She said sadly.
What did she mean by that?
Then she bent down to one knee and placed a hand on his cheek. Roxas looked at her and he felt tears leave his eyes.
Why was he crying?
"I would love to see you again,"
Roxas wanted to see her too.
"But I can't," She said as she gave him a sad smile. "Not yet,"
Why not?
"You have something you must do right,"
Caboose.
Roxas wanted to stay with her desperately.
But he couldn't. He had a friend to rescue.
Slowly he reached for the hand on his cheek.
"I'm sorry," He whispered finally finding his voice.
"You wouldn't be you if you decided to stay," The girl responded with a smile. "That was one emotion you did have,"
Then Roxas felt something pulling him.
"Remember who you are," The girl said. And slowly she faded.
"I'll find you again," Roxas said. He heard her laugh.
"I know you will," She said. "After all you're my champion,"
Roxas could feel the wound closing up.
"And as my champion what do you fight with,"
Roxas felt a strange energy course through his body. No not strange.
Familiar.
His eyes popped open.
"I fight with valor,"
Then he went into action.

"Sheila any ideas," Jaune said underneath the helmet as he blocked another attack from the Chimera.
"Killing it would be the best course of action," Sheila commented as Jaune ducked under another claw swipe and began punching the thing multiple times in the stomach.
"Not an option," Jaune said. As he rolled backwards as the chimera tried to pin him down. Jaune wasn't a good fighter by any stretch of the imagination and he knew that.
But he grew up with 7 sisters and some of them came out as tom boys. It also helped that he had to wrestle with them when they tried to pin him down and braid his hair.
Ahh good times.
It also didn't hurt that Sheila was telling him where to hit the thing to make it feel the pain. He'd prefer not to hurt it but that really wasn't an option.
He eyed the man in the back who was holding the chimeras metaphorical leash.
Then he knew what he had to do.
"Sheila can we destroy the collar on it," Jaune asked as he dodged the charging beast.
"That is possible," Sheila said. "But I fear you will receive damage in attempting to do so,"
"That's fine," Jaune said. "I can take it,"
'We Arcs are the most resilient bastards you'll ever meet,' His grandpa told him. 'Only an army of grimm wrapped in explosives surrounding us can scratch us,'
'Time to put that to the test grandpa,' Jaune thought.
"Analyzation complete," He heard Freckles say.
"Perfect," Jaune said. "Sheila I need you to divert power to my right arm on my mark," He said. "We're ending this in one go,"
"You got it," Sheila said.
"Freckles, switch to your heaviest bullet,"
"Roger,"
"Alright let's do this," Jaune said. "For now Sheila until my signal focus all power to physically enhancing me,"
"Already did,"
"Good," Then Jaune leapt into action. In a surprising burst of speed. He ran at the chimera and tackled it before swinging around on its back. The chimera bucked to get him off but Jaune wasn't having it. He held on for dear life until he found his target. He grabbed the collar with his left hand. "Now Sheila!"
"Power diverted," The female voice said.
Jaune looked at his armored right hand that was glowing. Then he closed it into a fist and brought it down on the collar. It shattered easily. But Jaune wasn't done. He pulled Freckles off his back and held the talking gun in one hand as he found his next target. He fired off the single shot and it found its target straight and true. The button in the enemy soldier's hand.
The soldier looked surprised at the sudden action and was not prepared for Jaune to roll of the chimeras back and aiming his gun at him. The soldier held his hands up.
"I surrender," He said quickly. Jaune responded by punching him in the face.
He turned around and looked at the chimera who was staring down at the collar at Jaunes feet. Jaune looked down at it as well. Then he brought his foot down shattering it into tiny pieces.
The chimera looked at him in shock and curiosity as it slowly got smaller.
"Sheila deactivate," Jaune said and the armor began to convert back to its non-combative state. Slowly he reached his hand out as the chimera approached slowly.
Then Jaune touched its head and the creature closed its eyes as it began nuzzling against Jaunes hand.
"Your free now little guy," Jaune said with a gentle smile. Then to is surprise the creature became smaller and began climbing up Jaunes arm and perched itself on his shoulder and began nuzzling him. "I'll find you a place to stay,"
"Jaune," Sheila said speaking up. "Your bleeding,"
"Huh," Jaune looked down to see a knife stcking out of his side. "Well, shit,"
Suddenly Sheila reactivated and covered Jaunes body.
"What are you doing?"
"The suit provides life support and medical help," Sheila explained. "While it can't heal the wound it can keep you alive long enough to get actual medical attention,"
"I see," Jaune said. "I don't even fil it,"
"Your adrenaline levels are high and thankfully the wound while potentially fatal isn't too serious,"
"So how long should I wait to see someone about it,"
"1 hour,"
"Enough time to get Caboose," Jaune said. He looked at the chimera on his shoulder. It had taken the form of a small chimp with feline and canine features. "Willing to help me out buddy,"
The chimera screeched with glee as if agreeing with him.
"To bad I can't change the color of this armor," Jaune said.
"You can," Sheila answered.
"Really?" Jaune asked in surprise.
"Yes," Sheila said once again. "What color would you like,"
Jaune thought about it for a moment. The he smiled.
"Juniper,"

"Are you done resisting," The man asked as he sat in a chair looking at the still raging Caboose and Church.
"Screw you," Church gritted out as his voice kept distorting. His body kept flickering to multiple colors.
"You can't keep this up," The man said.
"Just watch us," He said.
"Only a matter of time," The man said looking at his watch.
Church tried. He did.
But unfortunately his sister was older then him.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The partners shouted out before Cabooses head slumped and church shattered. And someone else was in his place.
The man looked up.
"Good to see you again Sigma" The man said.
In Churches place was an AI with a feminine figure. Instead of the blue that church represented this AI seemed to be made of a virtual flame.
Slowly she smiled.
"Technically this isn't me doctor," She responded with a smirk. "Only a memory,"
"Ah my mistake," The doctor responded. "The real you, is over there," He said looking over at Caboose. "Would you be so kind as to wake yourself up,"
"With pleasure," She responded and she vanished. She was gone all of ten seconds. When she appeared again she looked up at the doctor. "I'll be out shortly just handling something," Then with a wave the flaming AI shattered and Church was back.
"What did you do," He growled.
"Nothing much,"
Church turned to see the flaming AI next to him. "You," He hissed.
"Oh I don't like your tone little brother," She responded. "I think you deserve a timeout,"
"What," Then church looked down and saw himself fading. She locked him in. "You won't be out long," He said with determination.
"I'd beg to differ," She said as she looked at him.
Then Church was gone.
"I must say it is nice to be awake," She said. "Pray tell how are my other siblings,"
"I wouldn't know," The doctor responded.
"Oh so they don't know I'm back,"
"No," The doctor responded.
"Perfect," She said with a sultry smile. "I can't wait to surprise them," She turned to Caboose. "And I know just how too," She said as she floated towards him and looked at him.
"It's time to wake up," She said.
Slowly Cabooses head raised. It looked at Sigma.
"That's it you've been asleep for a while," She explained. "But it's time to get you back in action,"
Caboose growled.
"Yes and we're going to make everyone pay," Sigma agreed. "Are you up to the task," Her response was a deep growl. "Perfect," She said with a smile.
"I wouldn't expect nothing less from my precious Meta,"

Winter is seen looking down with a disapproving look while her friend is seen laughing at the display. While Penny gives a bright smile and the olderman chuckles.

Winter calls her and she stops chasing the two and walks off with Winter and the red head. It shows Caboose and Grif looking at each other before walking off with their respective friends while Penny begins talking to the older man animatedly as they walk off in their own direction.
And were done! Well looks like Sigma is out and about along with a certain juggernaut. With Caboose 'gone' what will the others do. And what will Sigma and the mysterious man in the shadows do. And Percy is actually really good with a sword. Wonder why? Oh and looks like Roxas met someone from his past. Wonder what she meant by him only 'mimicking' emotions. And we get aq look into Carolina's past as well as her history with Winter and what led her to being a fugitive. But what caused it.
All of these questions will be revealed in time. And looks like Jaune made a new friend. Wonder what this spells for the blonde knight and his team.
Well tell me how you feel about Caboose being the Meta. Tell me how you feel about everything,
That's all I have to say for now.
As always…READ…REVIEW…and above all else…ENJOY!
